On Sunday night, July 23rd a negro man and a negro woman living in the vicinity of tbectmetery became involved io a row. TOP man slapped or struck or otherwise maltreated the woman. She made a great outcry aad a large crowd, largely relatives of the woman, collected. The man retreated to bis house and two policemen were sent for. When they arrived the crowd was collected around the bouse, but the man who stTtck the woman b*d slipped out tbe back way and escaped. The next morning the man surrendered himself to the police and stated that tbe crowd had threatened to lynch him and that he slipped out of his house and fL-d to escape them. He then went before Mayor Pierson, acting Trial Justice, and took out a warrant for the crowd, charging them with not and breaking the peace. This was common talk on the street on Monday and Tuesday. Later in the week the local correspondent of the State, who is also local editor of *the Herald, attempts to cast discredit on this and other papers for publishing the fact as currently reported. He explodes the sensation to his own satis? faction at least, but ihe animus of the whole explosion is made plain by his own confession that he heard nothing of the mat er until be read it in other papers The Colonel in news? paper vernacular w?s "scooped" but did not have the grace to accept the fact calmly. The friends of the woman bave cross in? dicted the negro man ??r assault and battery, and when Trial Justice Manning returcs there will be further developments of the exploded sensation. - i- il ?

The clouds as a general rule ha*e been very sluggish, raining out and exhausting them? selves almost where they were developed. Rains have been accompanied with some lightning aud thunder but little or no wind. Cotton, gardens and ail crops have been benefitted by the rains of the past week, which, however, were badly distributed having fallen in narrow belts, giving an abundance to some places aud uone at ali to Sumter's Crop. The News and Courier of Monday contained articles from a number of counties on the condition of crops, from which we clip the following rela? ting to Sumter County : SUMTER, July 29.-Within the past ten days, or two weeks, there has been a marked improvement io the crops in all sections of this county. Cotton, while small, is in a healthy, growing condition, and where properly manur? ed: will make nearly if not quite as much as! was made last year, provided the seasons continue favorable. The acreage is about the same as last year, taking the county as a whole, and last year there was a reduction from prev? ious years of about 20 per cent. The corn crop is very short and the most careful estimates place the yield at not more than 65 per cent of a full crop for the county. In some neigh? borhoods the yield of corn will be fair, but in others not one-half as much will be made as last year. The area devoted to tobRcco is about 450 acres, about the same as last year. The soil of certain sections of the county does not seem to be adapted to growing the weed, and here the acreage has been reduced. Other sec? tions gave a large yield of fine tobacco last year, and there the area has been extended. The present expectation is that the crop this year will be heavier per acre and the grades finer. The hay crop promises to be excep? tionally fine and'the yield per acre hea\ y. There is about the same quan? tity planted as in former years. If there is any difference the acreage may be somewhat increased. SOME SPECIFIC REPORTS. WEDGEFIELD, July 25.-Average in all crops is about same as last year, there being less cotton if any change at all. Colton prospects are good, and with good seasons a good crop will be made. Corn as a whole is very poor, although there are a few fields of good corn. Hay about the same as last year, small farmers not attempting to raise much. William T. Ay cock. TINDALS, S. C., July 25.-Cotton is much smaller than last year, but much better cultivated and flourishing. Prospects are that the yield will be at least one-third more. Acreage ex? ceeds last year about 20 per cent. H. Drane Tindal. OSWKGO, July 25.-Cotton is back? ward, but with favorable seasons in August could make two-thirds of a crop. I do not think corn can make more than one-half an average crop. W. J. Andrews. ELLIOTT, July 25.-Cotton is much better than last season. Crop is in fine condition since recent rains, and free from grass. Acreage about same as former years. Corn was injured by drought, but an average crop may be made. About 25 per cent more plant? ed than last year. J. S. Brown. WISACSY, July 25.-Cotton is small, but flourishing, having been benefited by recent rains. Corn is not more than 50 per cent of an average. To? bacco, that has not been injured by hail, is very fine. There have been no worms of any consequence this year. Hay is very promising and there is a good deal planted. A. T. Cooper. MAGNOLIA, July 25,-In the neigh? borhood of Magnolia and Lynchburg cotton, as compared with last year, is 100, and about 75 per cent of an acre? age. Just beyond this neighborhood, north, east, south and west, cotton is about 33 per cent of an average, corn about 66 per cent and hay I?0 per cent. In the immediate vicinity of Magnolia crops were not greatly damaged. The seasons were more moderate than elsewhere around us. J. A. Rhame. MAYESVILLE, July 25.-I think I am safe in saying that cotton will average S5 per cent and corn 65 per cent of a full crop in this section, provided seasons continue good. J. E. Mayes. REMBERT, July 25.-The cotton crop is small, but vigorous and growing well. With favorable seasons in August a good crop will be made. As compared with last year, at the same date, the prospect is much better. The corn crop is almost a failure, it being an exception to find a good crop. Tobacco has improved in the last few days, and has a prospect of being bet? ter than last year, but it is not safe, The hay crop is about the same as to acreage, but was planted later and will probably not give as good yield as last year. The cane crop is good and slightly increased over last year. C. P. Osteen. BISHOPVILLE, July 26.-Cotton pros? pects in this immediate section is the best since 1882. If no disaster occurs the yield will be large, at least 25 per cent over last year. The corn crop is damaged and is 25 per cent under last year. Hay is fine and a great quanti? ty has been planted. R. E. Carnes. MsCHAKicsnLLB, S. C-, Joly 29, '93. Tbe condition, of crops at the close of the month I send below after consultation with experienced farmers : Putting the average corn crop at 10 bushels per acre the pei centage is now 50. Average the cotton crop at 800 lbs seed cotton per acre the per centage is 66 2-5. Not much attention is paid to bay crop. As compared with 1892 I can see but little difference, if any it :s ia favor of '92. L. L. Fraser. Gard of Thanks.

WASHINGTON LETTEk. WASHINGTON, July 3!, 1SD3. President Cleveland, all his canine*, Speaker Crisp and most of the members of Congress will return to Washington this week, prepared to grapple with the most serious condition of affairs this country has known for years, and that democratic statesmanship and wisdom will find a way out that will be safe, if it does not at 6rst meet with the approval of everybody, is as certain as that Congress will meet next Monday. It is particularly notice? able that this is the predominating sentiment among democratic Congressmen already in Washington. However wide apart they may now be they are all certain that some way will be found for gettiog together in the end. Among the compromises already suggested is one that appears to be rapidly gaining ground. It is to simply repeal that clause of the Sherman law which compels the purchase of 4,500,000 ounces of silver bullion a month by the Treasury, or to merely adopt an amendment to the law authorizing the pur? chase ot silver to be made or not made in the discretion of the President, and to let it go at that for a few months, in order to determine what other silver legislation may be neces? sary. A number of democrats who favor the coinage of silver have announced their willing? ness to support this compromise at the extra session, leaving the question of further silver legislation to be determined at the regular session.. There are not enough members of Congress yet in Washington to bszard a prediction as to even the probability of the adoption of this compromise, and some of those here say they prefer awaiting the recommendations to be made by President Cleveland's message before committing them? selves. Repeseutative Neill, of A<rican3as, says: "The Sherman silver law is vicions and ought to be repealed, but bad as it is, it is not re? sponsible, in my opinion, to any thing like as great an extent for the financial stringency as McKinley ism is. McKinleyisro most be wiped out before the country can get, all right again." The financial situation is quite bad enough without exaggerating it, and the statement that 200 National banks have failed since the first of January, which has been widely published, is a gross exaggeration. The total number of suspensions bas been 105 two in New England states. 2 io Eastern states, 15 in Middle and Mississippi Valley states, 8 in Northwestern staten, 55 in Western states and 25 in Southern states and of this number only 37 have actually gone into the hands of receivets. Of the remainder a number have resumed business and many more have good prospects for doing the same shortly. .Mr. Logan Carlisle very properly takes ( i?8!ie with the ridiculous statement made by civil service Commissioner Roosevelt as to the government clerks being about evenly divided between the political parties. Mr. Carlisle is chief clerk of the Treasury and he says the statement of Roosevelt is worse than ridiculous when applied to that department. He says further : 'To say that ten per cent of the classified clerks in the Treasury were democrats at the beginning of this adminis? tration would be putting the per centage too high. In some large bureaus there was not a single democrat.' Roosevelt's statement was made because of Secretary Carlisle having stated it to be his intention to give the demo? crats a show by dismissing the inefficient clerks in hts d?partaient. Deputy Commis? sioner Bell says that less than 20 per cent of the classified cierks in the Pension Office are democrats, and it would be safe to says that the percentage will not" run over that in any of the departments. Are You Goiug to the "World's Fair? If so, see that your ticket reads via Cin? cinnati and the C H. & D. and Monon-the acknowledged "Worlds Fair Route." The only line ont of Cincinnati connectirg with E T. V. k G. and Q & C. train No. 2, arriving Cincinnati 10:30 P. M. A solid train carrying through sleepers from Jackson? ville, Savannah, Birmingham, Atlanta, Chat? tanooga, Macon and New Orleans via E. T. V. k G., Q. k C , C. H. & D. and Monon Route to Chicago. You can stop over in Cincinnati if your ticket reads via the C. H. k D. and Monon Route, by depositing same with the Merchants' and Manufacturers Association, Chamber of Commerce Building, corner of Fourth and Vine Streets, one block from Fountain Square (the C. H. k D ticket office is in the same building.) This enables you to visit the picturesque "Queen City" at no additional cost, and special efforts will be made to enter? tain strangers hospitably and reasonably. The universal verdict of the traveling pub? lic is that the Pullman Safety Vestibuled traias, running every day, "and Sunday too," via tbe C. H. k D. and Monon, between Cincinnati Indianapolis and Chicago, are without doubt the "finest on earth." These trains were especially built by tbe Pullman Company for this service, and embrace every improvement. Their magnificent coaches, luxurious smoking cars, superb sleepers, ob? servado cars, compartment sleeping cars and unexcelled dining car service, afford "all the comforts of borne." Leaving Cincinnati you pass through the beautiful Miami Valley, and for twenty-five miles the double tracks run through the very front door yards of the finest suburban homes in the country. Beyond Hamilton and up to Indianapolis, tbe line is noted for its scenic beauty. A stop over at Indianapolis, the capital of Indiana, may be obtained by depositing your ticket with the Secretary of the Commen?ai Club. This city is more worthy of a visit than almost any other of its size in the West, and offers the greatest inducements to travel? ler and tourist. Between Indianapolis and Chicago the line traverses the very best agri? cultural and commen?ai territory, and the ride is one of unparalleled comfort and beauty. Bear in mind that the C. H. k D. and Mo? non Route trains all run via Burnside Cross? ing, from which point the Illinois Central suburban trains run direct to the World's Fair Grounds every moment. At Englewood connection is made with the electric cars, which run every five minutes to the -grounds, but we recommend all persons to go directly into the Dearborn Station, which is located in tue heart of the city and from which all street car lines converge, then go directly by car or cab to your hotel or board? ing place. First locate yourself ; know where and bow you are to live while in Chi? cago. Get the locality firmly fixed in your mind, before going to the World's Fair by any of the numerous convenient ways; cable cars, electric roads, elevated railroad, Illinois Central R. R , suburbao trains and the steam? boats afford ample accommodations for all possible visitors, and it is but five minutes ride from the business portion of the city to the grounds. Take your breakfast down town, buy your lunch at the grounds, and take your supper down town. If you will follow these suggestions you will save money. The facilities for serving lunch at the World's Fair Grouuds are extraordinary and the prices are cheaper than at your own home, bul breakfast and supper should be taken dowu town, or at your boarding house. The World's Fair is already the most astounding and stupendous spectacle ever attempted by any people, and a days visit will afford more delight and instruction than can possibly be obtained in any other way or by the same ex pendiure of money.

Cocoanut Tafly, Egg Biscuits, Animals for King Baby, Snowflakes, Lunch Milk Biscuit. Besides all the staples. "While eating this light lunch you will probably want some?? thing to drink.

He may have the best fishing tackle, the finest of rods, and the bait that should take ; but if he does not fish in the proper waters, he will not catch what he expected. The man that wishes to insure his life and seeks the best policy, may visit In? surance Companies and yet measurably fail in his fishing. He may be told this is the best pond, that the best stream, but when he goes to an Agent of the PENN MUTUAL LIFE he will know he is in the proper place to get the prize fish. Penn Mutual Life. Assets-.$20,250,000. Surplus -~.$2,600,000. There is no stronger Company in the country, few so strong. The relation of Assets to Liabilities shows this : but there are other elements of strength ia in tell*'gene 3, capacity and integrity of management and a prolonged experience.

After a lone and varied experience in the o?e of Mineral Waters from rhany- sob rees, both foreign and domestic, I ara fully persuaded that the 'Harris Lithia Water possess-a efficacy in the treatment of afflictions of the Kidney and Bladder aneqaaled by any other water of which I have made trial. This opinion is based upon observation of its effects upon my patients for the past three jears, dunns which time I have perscribed it freely and almost cniformly with benefit in the medicable maladies above mentioned. When failure to relieve bas occurred, I have imputed it to insufficient ose of the Water, for my experience teaches me that from one to two quarts daily should be taken from two tc four weeks to secure its full remedial effects.
