Earthquake.
There was an earthquake shock felt last

familiar during the fall of 1886. The shock
was distinctly felt ia a number of places ia
this ?nd other States.
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.
No daufcage was reported.

Dispensary Matters?
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.

, 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?

Notes from St. Charles*.
St. CHARLES, S. 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. The
crops through this section, are fairly good.
Messrs. Samuel and Willie- Jenkins will
break ground soon, for a large store at St.
Charles. Come 00 gentlemen-; wa have fertile
lands, excellent water, good society, plenty
to eat, and no poor kin. +
Miss Magtie LaCos te ha? recent ly returned
from the "Training School," Nashville, Teun.
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. Mr. Hollingsworth, whose services
have been secured by the Maunt 'lion congre?
gation, was present yesterday, and announced

SOAPS
Bo you know why housewives
don't bother themselves about soap ?
There ie a reason why they shouldn't,
but perhaps it hasn't occured to you,
they don't need to worry concerning
soap, because, indispensable and
useful as it is, the only way to make
k cheapep, would! be to give it away
io- consumers for nothing? but most of
these very cheap soaps,, either in
Laundry or Toilet, are no good
Everybody appreciates the import?
ance of uei?g a pure soap, purity of
soap is essential to health. "Copeo"
is a whtte, floating soap, the very
thing for baby's bath, and all toilet
uses. We handle a full line of Col?
gate's soaps. We are offering a soap
which is nothing but soap-no med?
icine in it-pure soap, big cake for
5c.,. and owiog to its- peculiar shape,
vt will lasher quicker than the ordi?
nary shaped cakes 'r it just fits Hie
hand, and thus permits you to hold it
firmly, when wet and' slippery ; it
will dry harder and belter on account
of its shape, as the ak can more freely
circulate around it. Cut the cake
through the middle, you'll have two
pieces either doing as much washing
as an ordinary 5c cake. Cut rt in
four pieces, you'll have a perfumed
soap of convenient size a?d;'shape
for handwash-iug or ordinary toilet
use. Th is soap has no alkali, does
not chap? or reddeu the skin, nor in?
jure the most delicate fabric, either
in hot or cold water. We are dis?
playing an especially fine assortment
of Toilet Soaps, including Pear's
scented at 25c., and unscented at 15c.

Fine Groceries.
The shopper should apply the
same principles to the purchase of
groceries as to the transanction of
business and see what a difference it

the end of the week. We have
made a success by keeping quality
up and prices down. From a stand?
point ar*economy it will be woith

The best Fisherman is not always the most

He may have the best fishing tackle, the finest of rods, and
the bait that should take y but if lie does Bot fish in the proper
waters, he will no* catch what he expected. The man that
wishes to insure his life and' seeks tke best policy, may visit In?

may be told this is the best pond, that the best stream., but when I
he goes to an Agent of the PENN MIJTUAL LIFE he will :
know Ixe is? in the proper place to get the prize fish. !

HARRIS' LITHIA WATER,
?ARRIS* LITHIA SPRTXGS, S. C?
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.
This opinion is based upon observation of its effects upon tay patients for the past
three years, during which, time L have perscribed it freely and almost oniformly with benefit
io the medicable CM.Indies above mentioned'.
When failure to relieve bas occurred, I have imputed it to insufficient use of the Water,
for my experience teaches me that from one to two quart?daily should be taken from, two to
four weeks to secura its full remedial effects. A. N. TALLY, M. D-.
