much more satisfactory as a time piece than

Death.
Dr. Francis L Zemp was born Sept. 27,
1819, and died Jan. 27, 1893. He came
to Camden wheo quite a lad and clerked and
studied ia Dr. Reynolds* drug store. He was
married first, March 9 h, 1343. to Mi?
Rebecca Reynolds, daughter of Joshua Rey?
nolds, Esq., who lived hat a few rears.
Again, March 5, i860, he was married to
Miss A. B. Capers, daughter of Rev. Samuel
Wragg Capers. For many years Dr. Zemp
was kept from active medical practice by tbe
loss of a leg. But he was still active and
energetic in every way. He did a large office
practice io his drug store, to which especially
the country people came.
As a business man, Dr. Zemp was clear?
headed and safe, as a cuiten, patriotic aod
wise. His loss is felt very deeply in our busi?
ness community.
Dr Zemp was for many years roost promin?
ently connected with the Methodist church,
which he joined io early life. He was long
the mainstay of the church, and had charge of
its business and money interests. He was
chairman of the Official Board of the church
at the time of his death. The present tasteful
and comfortable church building isa monu?
ment to his energy and liberality.
Dr. Z-mp will be much missed in every
way. He was faithful in hts work, quiet and
unpretentious in his life; possessing deep and
earnest piety he was ta sympathy with what
was good. We trust that tu the church and
city his place may be filled, but it will be hard
to do.
Ten children survive the father, six sons
and four daughters. Four of the sons are
prominently connected with our business
community. The other two are at present
taking courses at medical colleges in the
North. Tbe family life was most happy, for
the Doctor was an indulgent and
loving fainer and husband. We extend oar
most hearty sympahy to them in their great
berta vernen t.-Wateree Messenger.
The following account of the accident in
which Dr. Zemp lost hts leg, is taken from
! the South Carolina Law Report :
"Francis L. Zemp vs. The W 4M. RR
Co. When the accident occurred,
Dr. Zemp was standing on the front
of the platform of the rear passenger
car. A notice was on the right hand
of the door of the car on which the Doctor
was standing, that "passengers should not
staod on the platform." The accident occur?
red about seven miles from Marion C. H., ata
{ point where passengers usually took tbestage.
The train was stopped, and the conductor left
the ears to inquire whether they should stop
there or proceed furtber. Some of the pas
sengers, thinking they were to disembark
there as usual, weat out on the platforms, in?
tending to get out. Dr. Zemp was among
these. When the train started on be kept his
place on the platform, snd was there when
the train ran off He was jitnroed in between
the two platforms and bad hts left leg crushed
so that it had to be amputated He sued the
company for $10,000 damages and recovered
that amount.
The cite was of great interest as it settled
the law on the subject for a long time. Judge
O'Neal delivered the opinion of the Court,
and Judges Wardlaw and Glover concurred.
He Split his Knee Cap.
Mr. Joe White met with a painful and un?
fortunate accident on last Friday wade work?
ing on a boose near town. He rested a piece
of scantling on his leg and was trimming off
the end with a hatchet, wheo be made a miss
lick and drove the hatchet into his knee cap,
splitting it open. He is confined to his bed
and is Buffering considerable pain.
A Hotel at Last.
Mr. W. E Dick, who controls the Branson
property, now known as the Nixon House,
gives us the outlines of a plan, which ne has
been maturing for some time, by means of
which Sumter wiH be provided with a first
class hotel.
It is not the intention to erect a grand hos?
telry, but simply a commodious hotel of 40 to
50 rooms, parlors, dining room, sample
rooms, barbershop, etc., with alt the modern
improvements to insure comfort and conven?
ience.
The plan is conceived on the most liberal
basis, and if it is not taken up by the business
men of (be city, we may as well despair of
baviog a bote!.
Briefly stated the plan is : The Branson
property on Main Street, 145 feet front and
230 in depth, heretofore valued at $5,500 is
ts to be put in at $5,000. A stork company
ts to be organized to purchase this property,
tbe shares to be $50 each. Mr Dick will take
20 shares, leaving eighty shares to be taken
by others. The company will then make
arrangements to borrow sufficient money,
about $10,000, to erect the hotel. This loan
wit! be repaid in ten years by the rent from
the property and a small assessment on the
stock.
Mr. Nixon has already proposed to rent the
hotel at $1,000 per year, and will furnish it
himself. With this income guaranteed, tl
will be seen that ti.? plan is practicable on
its face.
About one-half of the the necessary stock
has already been sub cribed, and the bustotas
men bare not ail been seen, and there are
several others who have signified a willing?
ness to take stock, absent from the city.
There seems to be every thing in favor of the
success of the plan, and it should succed as it
is simple and business-like.

Fire.
A tenant house on the place of Mr. John N.
i'tgram, in Privateer was bumed on Saturday
night. The fire waa of incendiary origin.
The negro woman occupying the house says
that she was awakened by the dog scratching
and bowling at the door, and found one
whole end of the bou?e in a blaze.
The house on Liberty Street, on? door from
Washington Street occupied by Mr. 0. E.
Bostick and owned by Mr T. C. Sea fte, was
burned on Saturday morning at 2 o'clock
The fire originated tn the kitchen and had
made such headway before discovered that
attempts to save the bouse would have been
useless. When Mr. Bostick was aroused tbe
kitchen roof was falling in and the flames had
begun to lick into the dining room Tbe
alarm was given at once, and every effort
turned toward saving the furniture and other
household effects. Mr. Bostick and family
lost considerable in the way of clothing,
crockery, kitchen furniture, etc., but were
fortunate in saving the greater portion of
their effects. He was insured to toe amount
of $300.
Tbe house was valeted at $8C0 aod insured
for $500.
The Wide Awake Fire Engine Company
again did manful duty, and it was by them,
eye-witnesses declare, that the destruction of
tba next adjoining house, belonging to Mrs.
Hattie I Diokias, was prevented.
Again at 2 a. m. Sunday morning the alarm
of fire awoke tbs light sleepers of St niter,and
those who delight io going to fires turned
oat, bat few went to the scene of tbs confla?
gration, as it was in the Northern suburb near
the ?r?sidence of the late Judge Green. A
barn was destroyed by a fire thought to have
been of incendiary origin. Mr. Suder's de?
vice for getting op steam in tbe engine work?
ed perfectly this time, and the guage "indicated
a pressure of 40 pounds by the time the
steamer was pulled into die street.

Bunaway8.
Mr. Neil O'Donnell's horses became fright?
ened near the Court House on Friday and
created quite a commotion by dashing up
Main Street. There was a general visu of
pedestrians to clear the track, and they bad
to be in a hurry about it. Luckily no one
was run down, although several gentlemen
made narrow escapes. A horse belonging lo
Mr. T. E. Richardson, hitched to a post
on tbe edge of the sidewalk, was knocked
down and run over by both horses and
wagon. It made three efforts to recover its
feet before succeeding, being knocked down
by tba horses, the front, and bind wheels of
the wagon. The horse was bruised and had
the skin knocked off in several places, but
was not particularly injured. The runaways
continued up the street and smashed tbe
wagon against an electric light post, when
Craig's fnrniture store was reached. No fur?
ther damage was done.
A negro, a mule, a wagon, and a crowd of
little negroes created quite a breeze of amuse?
ment on Liberty Street on Friday afternoon.
When seen, the negro was sitting in the
wagon, which the mule was carrying down
the street in a lope and the Hues drag?
ging on the ground. The-' negro was
yelling, Whoa! whoa! et etery jump,
and the little negroes multiplied ^h* dm ten?
fold. The mule seemed'to'be not pirticularly
frightened-more like he was loping for
the fun of it. But the negro was scared
enough to more than make up for the moles'
tang froid-the whites of his eyes could be
seen across the street. The mule was headed
off near Harby 's Stable and ran the wagon
against a tree, the negro seizing the opportu?
nity to abandon hts seat in it with more
haste than diguity, for be landed bead fore?
most. As might have been expected, no
damage was done, for Cuffee and the mule are
ever faithful friends and*, never barm one
another even if they do indulge ia a joke
occasionally.

Railroad Collision.
- An engine was sent out from the C S. k N.
R. R. yard on Thursday morning at 4 30
o'ctock in cbargp*of conductor George Lortng
and Engineer Keyser, to go to Harlin City.
As it reached the crossing of the W. CAA. R.
R. it crashed intp,.lhe-baggage car of No. 50
pa8sseuger trat? oft ihat road. The engine
was jerked from the track and turned at right
angles to the C ij,4N'. track and parallel to
that of the W. C,.& A . with the front towards
the A. C. L. D-pot. The engine was badly
wrecked, and the-negro fireman Tom Davis
was crushed to.death. Scipio Hanly and
Henry McNeill.train hands riding on the C. S.
k N. tender,were also hurt, but not seriously.
Engineer Keyser waa considerably bruised.
Capt Loring escaped unhurt. The accom?
modation coach on the W. C. '& A. was
knocked from the trucks and otherwise dam?
aged, but no one was hurt on this train.
One of the negroes hurt bad a narrow and
most remarkable escape. He was thrown
from the tender and caught under one of the
wheels, with His diead between; two crossties,
and to all appenraoces was dead when found,
as be couid neither move nor make an outcry, j
When the trucks were jacked up he got up
and walked off. He lost one tooth and re- J
ceiv*d several bruises atout tbe neck and
head. The weight of the ?Heels rested upon
the crossties, and there, vtao only. sufficient
pressure on his :.eck to hold him steady.
The W. CAA train was in charge of
conductor Oglesby, and Lawrence Bitnet held
down the engine. They made the usual stop
before reaching the crossing, snd bad just
gotten under good headway again when the
collision occurred.
A telegram was immediately sent to head?
quarters and the wrecking train soon arrived
from Florence. The wreck was cleared by
noon and traffic resumed. The passengers
and mail from the 9.35 train were transferred
to the Charles'oti rind Columbia special leav?
ing here at 9 40 aod no delay occurred.
Coroner Commander impanoelled a jury of
inquest to investigate the cause of the death
of Tom Davis. The jury viewed the body
and scene of wreck and adjourned until yes?
terday morning. Yesterday the jury re-as?
sembled and tbe greater part of the day was
consumed in hearing evidence. After a care?
ful consideration the following verdict was
rendered :
Tom Davis came to bis death in a collision
between au engine of the C.S. A N.B. R.
and a passenger train of the W.O. AA. R
R , said collision being du* to a dense fog.
Thus all parties are exonerated of blame
for the accident.

M'Laurin's Exact Language.
The following ta the Terbatim report of
McLaurin's speech. It h> taken from the
Congreitional Record. After pronouncing
bia eulogy on Col. S tack house, he said :
"Born and bred in old Son th Carolina, yet
he waa a trna repr?senla i re of new South
Carolina, typical Carolinian of the new faith
and new school boro of the civil revolution
of 1861-'65, which wrought wonderful
changea in the social, political and industrial
condition of the State. Had that revoca?
tion never occurred, I hazard little in saying
that the deceased would never have repre?
sented South Carolina in this body. The
condition of affairs in the State before thar
revolution was peculiar, resulting from the
tadeas of the Old World transplanted in the
new and the attempt to ingraft them in the
society and polity ef the colony.
"in the course of time an aristocracy based
on a slav? ocracy dominated old South. Car'
olina and completely controlled her social,
political and industrial destinies. This neces?
sarily crested two classes as distinct as the
Patrician aud Plebeian orders of Bom?* The
large slave-owners became thr rolers and
office holders, and the masses cf the peo pele
were regarded as sofit to govern. It was an
intolerant,defi.nnt ?nd uncompromising tyran?
ny suppressing free speech, free thought and
independence of action. There was no irre?
pressible conflict then, because from force of
habit, education, and a disinclination to
assert their sovereignty, the middle class suc?
cumbed. ?
"Nullification and secession were the
legitimate fruits of this condition of things.
Tnis a true pictore of old South Carolica, of
which Hay ne, Calhoun and Rhett were true
represen tai ires. The abolition of slavery
was the destruction of this system. The
rich and powerful of the old became the poor
and weak of the new. The workingman of
the old regime became the enterprising and
successful citizen of the new. The shackles
of caste were removed and the artificial
distinction of classes abrogated. The farmer
and working man claimed their God-given
rights and boldy and defiantly entered the
political arena. This changed condition did
bring about an irrepressible conflict between
the reconstructed orders of society.
"During Federal reconstruction there was
a truce between the old political leaders and
those devolved by the new order of things.
Ic 1876, by the united and patriotic efforts
of both, harmonized for a time by the common
instinct of self-preservation, the infamous
carpt-bag government, pinned to our backs
by Federal bayonets, was overthrown, and
the State rescred from the alien and the
spoiler. As soon as this revolution was
accomplished the old ante bellum leaders
sought to re-establish their autocratic sway.
Political devices of various kinds were
adopted to delude the people ?nd drive them
into their old time supineness. Negro domi?
nation was perpetually held up as the inevi?
table result of agitation. For a time the
spirit of reform and the latent desire and
determination of the peopie to rule was kept
in check.
"Bat at last, like some mighty giant just
aroused to a consciousness of bis power by
repeated injuries, the people aroused from
their lethargy, and trusting in their own
might, determtned to be sovereign. The
election of B. R. Tillman as governor in 1890,
arcompltshed bj the general uprising of the
people ander the leadership of Tillman, Stack
bouse and others, was the culmination of this
great social and political revolution and one
of the legitimate results of the reconstructive
and evolutionary effects of the war of 186!.
The economic conditions prevailing elsewhere
of course also played their part. This irre?
sponsible conflict bas, however, we hope,
about ended. In this brief picture of new
South Carolina Col. Stackhouse occupies a
conspicuous place tn the work of reform and
rehabilitation. As one of the people, ricen
from their ranks, their champion, be deserves
heir everlasting gratitude and remembrance."
