The News and Courier of this morning gives th? following report of the earthquake io Charleston: At five minutes past ll o'clock last n-gbt the residents of Charleston were disturbed by that rumbling sound which was all too Saraeliar ia August, 1886, and simult?a*ously a shock of earthqurike made every building in the city vibrate very perceptibly. As usual there was a difference of opinion as to the direction of the oscillations, some saying they were from east to west and others that they were from north to south. The vibrations continued several seconds. Strone and brrck buildings shook ia a manner mest uncomfortable, and in a short while people, were gathered about the streets discussing the situation and recalling unpleasant experiences.

The following extracts are made from the lastis'ue of the Union Times Two yoong ladies from this county carried off the honors of the CIHSS and thei?r friends will naturally feel gratified to know of it. "A biography of the Class waa delivered by Mists- Estelle Bradley, whfch gave a correct and entertaining account of each one of the c!?8S of '93" liMiss Carrie Cain, the valedictorian, show? ed much preparation in her admirable paper."

The County Board of Control met in the office of the Couuty Coromissioneas on Mon? day morning and was in session all day with exception of a recess for dinner. The petition of Mr. E. D. Smith, of Mayes ville, was first taken up for consideration. On bis.petition there were nineteen names, and Dr. F. J. Mayes who represented the peo? ple of Mayesville who oppose the establish? ment of a dispensary objected to three names oeiog counted. Charlie and Fortune John? son are freeholders but are now working at EAstoTrer. Their names were signed by an? other party whom it is claimed was author? ized to do.so by the two Johnsons Mr. H. B. trolleman signed the peti-tioa but after? wards, with the consent of Mr. Smith, scratched bis n*tme. Dr. Mayes protested against the counting of these names. After a lengthy discussion the matter was adjourned over until Tuesday morning. Then tne mat? ter was again taken np and four names erased fcota the list, thus leaving, Mr. Smith with two less than the necessary majprity, there being thirty-two freehold voters io Mayesville. After the postponement of the Smith matter until Tuesday the board on Monday took up the Sumter petitions-those of Thomas and Epperson, ft was at once decided that Mr. Thomas's failure to file a copy of his petition with the Clerk of Court l?o days previous to : the meeting of the board, as required by the law, prevented the consideration of bis peti? tion ; in other words be waa not before the board. Mr. Epperson's petition was found in due form and to contain a number of names more than equal to a majority of the freehold voters of Sumter. The board decided, how? ever, not to consider and scrutinize the peti? tions at this meeting and appointed July 3d aatheday for this di+ty. in the meantime the petitioners have the right to withdraw their petitions for the purpose of securing additional signatures. This pms Mr Thomas and .Mr. Epperson co the same footing and allows others to enter the race. Petitions must be filed on Friday the 23d instant. Mr. Smith has also been granted the right to file another petition on the 23d if he can secure the necessary majprity of the freehold? ers to sign hts petition. He lacks two? names* only, but it is said to be extremely doubtful whether be eau obtain them Mr. A. G. Warien has again entered the race and will file a petition.. There are rumors of one or more candidates who are oot making an effort to obtain a petition bttt will go before the board on their merits and ask to be appointed. Under the most recent and surprising constrocifoa of this much twistifi?d law, the board may arrogate to itself the right to appoint any mau they see fit, whether he have a petition signed by a majority of the freehold voters or not. Just so one candidate, or all together, succeeds in obtaining the signatures of a majority of the freehold, the board bas the right to establish a dispensary and appointa dispenser. Who the dispenser is to be,the peti? tion does not determine-the board does that. Hence the freeholders of Sumter in signing the dispensary pelitious have placed them? selves in a position similar to that once occupied by the Lei low who bought a pig in a bag. The Masonic Temple store, next the Watch? man and Southron office, has been rented foe the dispensary. i- ? ? - Graded School Alumni. The annual business meeting of the Alumni o? the Sumter Graded School will be held at the Graded School Building on Thursday morning June 22>id, at ten o'clock. A full attendance is requested. Mamie Warren, Pres. Marian Mood, Asst. Sec. & Treas Shiloh Items. , SHILOH, S. C., June 15s *893? On looking out this gloomy morning, a spectacle is presented to the eye, never before observed by the writer; every low piace in 1 the field around is inundated and bas th* appearance of a number of millponds. The ?eotton in many places, where I never saw water before, cannot be seen. The rain fell in torrents with scarcely anj abate? ment jill night. According to my measure? ment, and I ara satified that it is cor? rect, the rainfall during last night, ia this locality, was, at least, four (4) inches. The rainfall on Wednesday the 14th inst., was, by same measurement, two and a half (2J) im bes. Pudding Swamp is unusually full ; in places running across the dam or causeway. It is still raining, and if it continues much longer the damage to crops will be serious. The injury is already considerable. Bridges in sereial places are afloat. If these rains are general we will bear ot a. number of freshets. Dr. Sally, of Norway, BaroweiJ county,, and Hiss Tyler, of Sally, Aiken count.*, are in this place, visiting Dr. Thos. R. McE.veen. Miss Tyler is visiting and receiviivg many visits from the young of both ?exes. Our popular book agent (,J. K. M.). i* undoubtedly trying to sell out to the visitors-especially one of them, as they seem, to be the center of attraction just now for him. Probably he is trying to get an assistant agent or aytntcss. The M av es vi) le b?se b?ll nine came over on the 9th, and tried their skill on the "Shiloh Zouaves." ttolb ?ides did good playing. Each side, of course, had inexperienced players. The game stood 4 to 7 io favor of MayesviHe. But, as a matter cf justice, I must state that if tune innings had be^n played, wnich the ' Zouaves" were very anxi? ous to do, it is the general belief by unbiased person?, who p?id close attention to the game, that the latter would have come out ahead, as towards the last they greatly improved by experience in the lirit four inning*, though there were some fine players in the former team. One old gentleman in describing ?Iii niin storm last night, s*ys that he is satisfied that there was a cloud-burst right over his yard or house, -ts one end of a very ugly black cloud seemed to tilt up, while tbs other lowered, and just turned all thc water on his house and in his yard. Uel! be certainly did get a quantity of it about his premises, but we alf felt ns if something of thcFSort had happened when we arose this morning. Mr. ft. W. Green, of tins place,, and Miss Susan E. Winderkin, of Sumter, were mar? ried on the 8th inst., by the Kev. Mr. Davis, our pastor. So friend Walter's tirtme is erased froui the "chronic candidate's list A'-fKitvLrA.

C., June 19th, 1893. Mr. Mitor: I've heard men doubt the Bible story of Noah's flood, but after last Thursday night's rain these "doubting Thomases" must hush up. lt is impossible to plow or hoe and the grass is menacing us on every side.

Miss Estelle Cooper has returned to the paternal roof from Fairfield where she has been teaching. Rev. Dr. T. R. English, of Yorkville, gave us on yesterday, a prac ical sermon, full of sound doctrine, sincerity and earnestness. Dr E. during the lae* week, paid bis kindred and friends a hasty visi-t. He will soon leave us for Union Theological Seminary, Va. He bas been chosen a Professor I J this school of the Prophets, and. is. fully equipped for the work. The "father of "presidents" came 7ery near being seriously burt jesterday ; was thrown out of bis buggy,, got his hands very muddy, and couldn't shake hands with the people,-and the old man thinks if he can't shake hands with ajl the men, women, and children, it aint no meeting. I have always contended, when a question of morality and religion is presented to tbe voters of a state, that the mem? bers of every Christian church, should vote on the side of sobriety and godliness. Through this belief, at the last genera1 elec? tion, I voted for prohibition. 1 think the dispensary is as near prohibition as is desired by a large majority of the democratic voters of the Stale. During the winters of '64 aad 65 when the Confederate Congress had unr?er consideration the Coneaript Act calling upon our boys, from 16 to 18 .M TS of age for mil? itary service, Jtffersou Davis opposed the law on the ground that it would destroy our seed corn. I believe, under the dispensary law. the removal of ibe barroons will save our seed-corn. The custom of social treating, in these places, has been productive of uiiuh drunkenness, arni the ruin of' many old and young men . I've been a*ked this question: "Can a church member ad as a dispense??' I ?ay nay. No christian can serve two masters. Can a prohibitionist sign a petition for a dis? pensary, and a dispenser?' Yes-l'f he does not belong to a secret society^ where his obii gaiions, or vow.? will prevent. The Rev.

SOAPS Bo you know why housewives don't bother themselves about soap ?

After a lone and varied experience-Lu the use of Mineral Waters from many sources, both foreign and domestic, 1 am tully persuaded that the Harris Lithia Water possesses efficacy in the treatment of afflictions of the Kidney and Bladder unec?isled hy any other water of which E have made trial.
