Without at all desiring to figure in thc
role of "Uncle Grumbler," we still wish to
say that there is no need to water the streets
so very thoroughly or often as td produce the
condition of muddiness that uow prevails.
So much water keeps the ground soft and ren?
ders it easy to be cut up by the vehicles, pro-*
duciog mud ho.rs every where. Besides, it is
very disagreeable to pedestrians to be obliged
j to w*lk through mud. We hone our city
fathers wit! see to H that the watercart does
not deluge the streets ss rt bas betrn doing.
We have been in a good many town?, but
we never hare feen anywhere such a tearful
street, in a town the siZe of this A ride
over it means heing sutjfct to a succession of
bumping? ?nd twisting* that is simply un'
bearable The only way to remedy this is,
.as we have pointed out several limes before,
to raise the street in the middle, letting it
shelve off gradually at the sides, and placing
a good brick drain alongside the pavement,
which will carry the water off. This will
also prevent water settling everywhere as it
does now. There is no use to pile brickbats
along in the low places, while the whole
s'ieet is left at one level. The street does not
need to be raised either-it is already higher
in some places than the sidewalk-but it needs
to be so graded from the middle to the sides,
as not to allow water to settle.
When the earth gets saturated with the
water from the drinking fountains, supple?
mented by the cloudbursts that are poured
out along the streets several times every day
what is to become of the water? The earth
is very spongy, but its capacity is exhausted
after awhile, and what then?

Mr. EdUvr: After the drye*t a?d windiest

badly stunted and will not make near a crop.
! There is not ranch wheat planted iu this sec

[ Cotton will have to be planted over io a great
many pisces, and where not, replanting will
be necessary. What is up looks badly.
The fruit crop is promising, though the
winds have hurt it some.
The health of our community is good at

I think it time for the press of the State to
let up on Governor Tillman afeo-vt tbe Den?
mark lynching, which has been amplified to
the size of Mt. Blane. Like all other people,
Tilmas has his faults, but net more so than
those editors who so unjustly abuse him.
Tiie drama acted at Denmark is played at
nearly every term of ce?7t in the State ander
the farce of legal forms, red-handed murderers
go scot free. Why don't these guardians of

Notes from St. Charles.
ST. CHARLES, May 9, 1893
Mr. Editor: The wiseman has said 'Old1
raes? for council young meu for war."
Your recent editorials on the "Denmark
Lynching" and "Cowmon Schools" merit
the commendation of the thoughtful men.
For a young man, you are guided by good
practical, common sense.
Gentlemen of the State press, bottle up
{ yo?r wrath for a few moments. Let reason
I resume her sway, take a second thought, re
t member,, that under like conditio?? yon wi)!
j visit with swift punishment the atrocious
j crime committed ?pon y wir home circle. 1
j ara as much opposed to lynch law ?3 any
j citizen-I fear the consequence. When a
? helpless culprit place? himself tn the protec
I ;ioi> of an officer of the law be should pro?
tect him to the last extremity and at every
hazard. B. R Tillman, as promised, has
led the charge. The violation of the law
.-cs's opon his shoulders.

? Social Event.
On last Thursday night onr young people
assembled io the Armory Hail to hold a
German, complimentary to the Misses Davis,
of California, who are here on a visit to da?
tives.
The German was led by Miss Bell Sanders
and Mr. B B. McCreery, of Columbia.
The evening was passed in a delightful
manner, and all seemed to enjoy the occasion
very nach.
Among t*ose present we noticed the fol?
lowing :
Miss Mabel Davis, Mies Edna Davis and
Miss Bertha Sweet, of San Francisco, Cal. ;
Miss Thomson, of Charleston . Miss Esther
Straus, of M ay esr il le ;. Miss CharlottaBoyken,
of Boykin ; Mrs. W. 1. Harby, of New York;
Misses Ella Davis, Belle Sanders,. Eleanor
Thomson, Nina Moise, Satie M-oaagbaa,
Tavie Moses, Jessie Moise, Mrs Agnes Bogin,
Mrs. Perry Moses, Mr?. Chas-. F. McFadden,
ofSwnatsr;. Mrs. A ti. Davis, A San Fran?
cisco, Cal.
Th? gentlemen present were :
Messrs. Douglas China, Albert Moise, J. A.
Strauss, Irving Ryttenberg, Geo. Rerobert,
G. M. Marshall, G DeLorroe, F. K. Winn,
A. Burgis, Marion Moise, D. M Biandiog, of
Sumter; W. f. Harby, of New York ; B. B.
McCreery, of Columbia; W. T. Aycock, ot ?
Wedgefield ; Dr. C. V. Osteen, Uagood-. '
Dance.
There was a very delightful dance given
here last night by the local dancing school.
Geo. E. W. Moise had invited a number of
young people to a picnic on his farm near the
city, but as the rain had prevented the enjoy?
ment ot that occasion, the picnickers were
invited to join the dancing pupils, and the
picnic music and refresmeuts ?vere put at the
service of them all.
The young ladies and gentlemen of the
smaller set had never made their dubut before
the public in our city before, and they enjoy?
ed the occasion thoroughly. It was indeed
a beantlfnl sight to see them, in their best
company manners and irrepressible mirthful?
ness, unable to carry out altogether the les?
sons of decorum which had been impressed
upon them.
When the little folk retired the "Children
of ?larger growth" came to the floor and
almost eclipied the beauty of the little ones.
A gerfnnn. led by Mr. Eugene Ingram and
Migs Nina Moise in the best mtnner, brought
to a close the very pleasant eveuiag. The
attendance was se large that it is impossible
in this brief notice to make any comment on
the appearance and grace cf oor Sumter
young people : but a contingent of ladies
fron? ibe Golden G-?te by their beautffnl
costomes and graceful dancing played sad
havoc with the hearts of our gay lotharios.
You will be pleased with the mild and last?
ing effects of the Japanese Liver Pellets. Try
ther?. Sold by A. J. China.
Bes?ie H. Bedloe, Burlington, Vt., had a
disease ot" the scalp, causiDg har hair to be?
come very harsh and dry, and to fall so freely
that she scarcely dared to comb it. Ayer's
Hair Vigor gave ber a healthy scalp, removed
'he dandru f, and made the bair thick and
glossy.
Now is the* time to drink Glenn Springs
Water; it purifies the blood and removes all
malaria from the system. You can get it at

THIS IS AN BNTKRPRrSE OF THE
farmer?, by which they can secure pro?
tection on their detached and isolated build?
ings at eotl. )t can net break, as many
Capital Companies do, and leave a number in
the ashes. All losses must be paid np in foil
before any association can disband In all
the States where this plan of insurance has
been operated, it has not only proved to be
cheaper, but there is not a case on record
where they have ever disbanded or failed to
pay a claim, and that is covering a period of
twenty years. Ft is the only company that
positively catt not break, and the wily one
that /ecognijes you as an interested party to j;
the policy contract. Why should the people
of this State pay more than a million a year
for security against fire-more than the
losses amount to ? 5o Sre, no pay, is our
motto.

and which will un?
doubtedly be the most

We hear people often say :
"We buy our groee*
ries in cities because
they sell sugars at

mind you of the fact that
no merchant can make a

it a rule to sell all goods
, at small living profits, and

ceeded in getting a liberal
