AD old Mbscriber of this paper, Mr. J. W. Deso?s, of Kew Zion, Clarendon County, writes that, "I don't know how I could get along without the paper. Continue to 'give the Devil his due.' 'Fair Play' expressed my ?estimen ts. The Republicans have been sweeping every? thing before tbea in the municipal elections Hi the north and west. This is due, however, t* loca) issues and antagonism to Catholicism, the Republicans having declared agaiast that The Ck/lumbia Journal's Washington corres? pondent describes the condition of South 'Carolina o?tee-seekers as basted and discon? solate. Walking is good and it is pleasant -sleeping oct of doors now. They are advised 'to start for home st once. The President decided not to appoint ex-con -gressman J J Uemphill oce of the Judges of 'the court of the District of Columbia, on .constitutional grounds, Mr. Hemphill being .one of those instrumental in creating the .court ; but it ts expected that he will be -appointed to a foreign mission. JudgeS?monton on Monday issued an order to Receiver Cormer of the Central Railroad of Georgia to turn over to John H. Averill the Port Royal and Augusta Railroad and all its effects. This insures that the P. R. k A. will he operated io the interest c f Port Royal and ?ot against it. The Alliances throughout the state, where? ver dominated bj tue Tiilman-irby infiu euee have been industriously reso 1 nting tbj"sW indigoa?op over the snejjj^:^ an? cowardly J^MSSSpag of the galvanized Third Party Congressmen from this S ate. Resolutions denouncing the blacklisting of M. L. Donald* son president of the Alliance are now iu order. The address to the Alumni and students of ?be South Carolina College, which is publish? ed to-day at the rr quest of the Secretary of the Alumni Association, calls upon all friends of that institution to rally to its support. If j the college is not properly supported it must j go under ; and now is the time to take steps j to prevent such an educational disaster. The Columbia Reguter, editor incognito, and the Spartanburg Headlight. La ry Gantt, editor, are exchanging the compliments of the season. The Register bas no hesitation in yielding to the Georgia Colonel the champion? ship in tbe field of Journalistic untruthful? ness. The Register is a competent judge, as the Coioae! exercised bis ta leu ts tn tbe service of, and made his South Carolina record on that paper. Maj S. P. Hamilton of Chester, who is conducting the suit of tie Chester liquor dealers against the provisions of the Dispen? sary law, on last Thursday made serious charges against Speaker Ira. B. Jones of the House of Representatives. In substance it was that Speaker Jones had tampered with the bill ?nd consequently tbs law is null and void. Speaker Jones bas replied to the charge and bbows clearly that he did nothiug illegal ; that all alterations and amendments made to the bill ia bis hand writing were authorized by the House, and be acted according to precedent. Ju this position he i* supported Col. J. T. Sloan the veteran clerk of the House. We intended gibing, this week, the whole case, as it is a nutter of consider? able importance, and will perhaps be able to do so in the next issue. A TEACHERS* INSTITUTE. A number of the counties have already made arrangements for Summer Normal Institutes which all teachers iu the public schools will be rtqutred to atteud. These Institutes will remain in session different lengths of tiaie, from one week to a month. The best talent will be employed to conduct tboe institutes, and the benefit to the teach#s cannot f*il to be great. The schools of Sumter county need improvement as much as those of any county and the surest way to accomplish this is to improve the teachers. Good teachers, pood schools ; modern methods suit the mot"ern spirit of progress. Sumter county should have au institute and it is time for steps to be taken to b*ve one. Wc believe the teachers of the county favor the holding of an Institut?? annually. THE FIRE DEPARTMENT. The necessity of ?fi organised ?nd well disciplined fire department is more apparent ! now than ever, although everybody know. J that the fact bas been plain as day for years. \ Heretofore it would have been useless ti> j Attempt to keep u;> such an organization with ] no adequate water supply, and it was not done. The time has now arrived tor the city lo take the matter in hand- There are two plans proposed. One to establish a sufficient MU ii* bur uf reel stations io the several wards I of the city, each reel to carry about 250 feet j of bose and to organize volunteer squads to I take charge of these reels ; the other the pur. j chase of a hose reel carrying nt ?east one! thousand feet of hose and the employment of j three to five men to take charge of this reel. ? Plainly stated, it isa question of a volunteer J or a paid department. It is left to the wis dom of the Council to determine which it .hall be, but as f*r as we are concerned we : give our voice for the paid department. The volunteer department is costly, cum? bersome, ausatisfactory aod more to be dread? ed than Sre itself. Tue paid department is prompt, disciplined and etf.cieut. Something mus* be done at once, for the insurance rates are excessive sud there ic) DO hope of ? redac t?on ?etil the Ste department is placed ia a State of efficiency; and from this time for? ward we are paying s heavy tai to stippor? i the water works,- from which we shall obtain bat slight benefit anti) the fire department is greatly Mapro ve?. TH B M?Ri?? MONUttBft?. The 20th of May bas been selected as the day for unveiling of the frew fflcffftrmetrt to General Francis Marion. The uevMtfrnbia almost completed, and Gov Tilintan bas ap pdinted a coramit!ee of arrangements consist? ing of Hon. VT. A. Courtenay, ?eo. T. A. Hugnenin and Gen. H. L. Farley. Gov. Tillman will preside. Gen. Farley witl deliver an address on Marion as a patriot a.r?d soldier ; Rev. C.S. Vedder, of Charleston, frill deliver an address on Marion as a high type of citizen Gen. Hugoeo?b will have charge of the military, aad Hon. W. A. Ce-?rfteoay will superintend the unveiling cere 1 monies. The history of this, the new atonement, is of interest, as Sumter's efficient Representa? tive, Hon. Altamont Moses, was intrumental io securing its erection, in 1891 a bill was introduced ra the House of Representatives appropriating $500 to repair Gen. Mariou's toeib. The bill was referred to the Ways and ' Means Committee and an unfavorable report returned. Mr. Moses made a miuority report recommending the appropriation. His report was fought vigorously, and on the motion of Mr. Boozer, of Kdge?eld, the appropriation was cut down to $300. This amount was found inadequate as anticipated at>d nothing was done. In 1892 Mr. Moses introduced a bill appro? priating $600 for the purpose of repairing toe tomb, and the bill became a law. LYNCH I*AW. John Peterson, a negro charged with the rape of Miss Baxter of Denmark, Barnwell County, two weeks ago, was banged to a sap pling and riddled with bullets on Monday ? night at the scene of the crime. He was the twentieth man arrested on suspicioo, there was no direct evidence of bis guilt, Miss Bax? ter herself declared positively that he ws-.s not the man, yet be was put to death, for as the infuriated mob declared "some man must ; die for this thing." ? The circumstances surrounding and lead? ing to the lynching are peculiarly atrocious. For two weeks th- country was scoured for j tbe guilty man. Nineteen were arrested, ex? amined and set free, although several of them narrowly escaped death at tbe bands of the mob. Peterson heard that be was charged with the crime, be makes bis way to Colum? bia, delivers himself to Governor Tillman claiming hie protection, but declaring his wi], lingness to be put to the test of an investiga? tion and confronted with Miss Baxter. Gov. Tillman sends him to Denmark in charge of a single guard and delivers him over to Judge Lyncb. The crowd bad despaired securing the person whose guilt would be undoubted, and when Miss Baxter's father got up before the crowd, and with tears streaming down bis cheeks, declared that bis daughter would never be able to identify the man if he should be captured, the fury could not be restrained and Peterson was doomed to death. His guilt was not established beyond a reasonable doubt, there was but slight grounds to believe that he was even in the vicinity, when the crime was committed, and bejras killed .gb*jg protesting msinnocenc?T Gov. Tillman is responsible for his death, as he delivered bim into the bands of the mob and made no effort to protect the roan who placed his Hie in his hands. Fire. The rear corner of the composing roora of this office was discovered to be on fire on last Thursday night about 10:45, and by prompt work it was put out before material damage was done the building. The composing room was flooded with water, a large r.umber of aises pied and the type scattered over the floor. The damage is difficult to estimate, but it is somewhere between $2?Q aud $300. The loss is covered by insurance. This issue is brought out under consider* able difficult irs, and if it is not up to th? usual standard we feel that we have a good excuse. _ To The Alumni aod Students of I The S. C. College.

Notes from St. Charles. Si. CSAI?LKSJ April 24, 1893. XMH EBT?OH: I am not disposed to be il? liberal or ungenerous in my views towards ?bose who may deem it necewary to labor on the Sabbath day. Yet, the law upon the strict observance of this day is io plainly written, "That the Wayfaring man though a fool," cannot misinterpret it. When men join a church it is far better to conform to the rules or withdraw bis or her allegiance. 1 - admit that the pastor and session of the Second Presbyterian Church, of Columbia, committed a>n error in singling out one of? fender and leaving the rest untouched. My object is simply to call the attention of the Christian public to the fearful innovations being made upon the holy day. When good and true men attempt to check this evil they are looked upon by ifte world as incarnate devils ia human Sesb. If the American peo? ple love liberty they should place some l?gis? lative safe-guards around God's holy day. "If the foundations are destroyed, where shall the righteous stand'." The Mount Zion Congregation were highly entertained, on yesterday, with two deeply Impressive sermons by the Rev. E. T. Brown, of the Columbia Theological Seminary. Dt. Jos.

Owing to the exceedingly dry weather, the farmers have been unable to get any cotton to come up. although some of them planted several weeks ago. Should it be necessary to replant, very few farmers would be able to do soon account of the scarcity of seed. Corn crops are looking unusually well for the season. Oats, without rain in a few days, will be a complete failure. Miss Bessie Law, who has been spending several days with friends at Sliver, returned home on Monday morning. Mr. McDonald Green, accompanied by his charm!.ig bride, is spending some time with relatives in this vicinity. Miss Margaret Wilson, spent several days last week visiting friends near Camden. Mr Marion LaFar was stricken with paral? ysis on last .Wednesday night, and is now lying in a critical condition at his "borne near here. Col. J. McD. Law and several members of his family, are quite sick. Messrs E. D. Law and A. B. Kibler spent I last Sunday at Oswego. They report a very ' pleasant trip indeed, and expect to take another trip to the same place soon. "Look out" friend EUie. Dr. C. H. Green, who has been spending several weeks in Florence, bas ?eturned borne. One day last week Mr. Sheppard Nash caught some negro boys trying lo kill one of his fine Turkey gobblers. Fortunately having his gun along he gave one of them a severe sprinkling of No. 8 shot, which no doubt will prove a lesson to them that will not be forgotten soon. Ionia Items. IONIA, 3. C., April 21, 1893. Most farmers ara through planting cotton. I do not believe that the acreage lins been in? creased any in this section. While it is 6aid that more fertilizers have been bought this jear than common, it is no proof that the cotton acreage has been increased, for a great many sold their cotton seed and bought guano, which the}' intend using oo corn and other grain crops, and- a great many that kept their feed will use guano on their corn, so I can't see that because there has been more guano bought tban usual, that it is any sign that therewiil beau overwhelming cotton crop made. 1 consider that where farmers sold their seed, thay aie ,20 per cent worse off, even if they did buy guano instead, for they changed something that we know :? W?o?Jo*^W?8^z ?l??t we don'rfcnWr^ siOes the extra bauliug they had to do. And another thing that has, or will, injure us: all the seed that was sold, was not exchanged for fertilizers. I think it a bad idea to sell seed, for it takes onr best to keep our land trcra getting poorer, using all the seed that we eau raise When we sell them we are on the sure road to poverty, I don't care what we get in exchange. I always think that "a bird in the hand is worth two in the bush." I can't see that if we could exchange our seed, ton for ton of meal, where the profit comes in. I don't think that there is any money in hauling two tons for one.

After a long and varied experience in the use of Mineral Waters from many sources, both foreign and domestic, I am tully persuaded that the Harris Lithia Water possesses efficacy in the treatment of afflictions of the Kidney and Bladder uneqaaled by any other water of which I have made trial. This opinion is based upon observation of its effects npon my patients for the past three years, during which time I have perscribed it freely and almost uniformly with benefit in the medicable maladies above mentioned. WbeB failure to relieve has occurred, I have imputed it to insufficient use of the Water? for my experience teaches me that from one to two quarts daily should be taken from two to four weeks to secure its full remedial effects.
