The alley-way between the Mansonic Temple lot and O'Donnell's store on Liberty Street bas been fenced off, and there is now j no entrance to the lot from that side. In j these do!! days it affords amasemrnt to the boys on Liberty Street to watch people drive s team into the alley and bnve to back all tbe way out, as there is no space to make a turn.

GAILLARD, Adjutant. notice to Subscribers and Post Masters, Subscribers have been requested time and again to notify the proprietor of this paper of a change of address. This they frequently fail to do, and the paper is called for by some other person until a bill is sent, then tbe paper is refused. This has occurred so often that a time has come to put a stop to it, and the proprietor now gives notice that he proposes to do so ac? cording to law. A person taking a paper frcm a post office, under such circumstances, lays himself liable to prosecution for petty larceny should be refuse to pay the subscrip? tion for the time be has received the paper. If it ia necessary to enforce this right, an exam? ple will be made of one or more cases now on record in this office. Post Masters are required by law to notify publishers of a change in address of persons to whom a paper is sent, and this they are earnestly requested todo; and that 'hey will also be careful not to deliver the Watchman and Southron to any person, if they know that the person to whom it is addressed, has changed bis post office. The Cattle Disease. Mr. T. D. Chandler's cattle are still affected by the disease mentioned last' week. One cow bas died within the past week and one other has contracted the disease io that period. Several persons have examined the cows and opinions are conflicting as to the nature of the disease. Ooe cattleman said that it was murrain. Mr. Chandler bas made a thorough investigation of the o&se and bas concluded that the disease is Texan fever. The appearance of the heart, spleen and liver of the cows after death correspond to the description of the appearance of these organs in Texan fever. The symptoms before deatb also correspond to those of Texan fever. As soon as a cow is discovered to be ill, she is isolated from the herd and remedies administered. Mr. Chandler is using his best efforts to eradicate tbe disease, and it is hoped '.bat he will be successful. Medical Association. The Sumter County Medical Association met on Friday last ia regalar session. The attendance was very good. After the regalar rou tine.business bad been disposed of, the sub? ject for discussion, "puerperal fever," was taken up aod a general discussion followed. Dr. H. M. Stackey, by appointment, read an essay on cerebro -spinal fever, which was followed by a discussion. Dr. Richard Forman was appointed to pre? pare and read an essay at the next meeting Dr. Sparkman was elected 2d Vice Presi? dent to fill the place made vacant by the death of Dr. FraBcis J Mayes. Drs. J. W. Hodson, John S. Hughson and J. J. Bossard were appointed a committee to draft resolutions expressing the mind of the Association at the death of Dr. Francis J. Mayes. The fevers prevailing io thia section* were selected for discussion at the next meeting, and it is thought that much valuable infor? mation will be brought out, inasmuch as the subject is a wide and varied one and the dis? cussion will be comprehensive io character. The Fire Department. The Board of Firemasters bas adopted rales and regulations for the government of the ?re department, which will be enacted as an I ordinance by the City Council. The chief of tbe department, who is to be elected annually, is given full control of the j department at all times, and is empowered to draft soch regulations us he may see tit which, upon approval by the board, will become binding. He is vested with full police powers. After each fire he is required to make a full report of the fire; cause, if known, and other facts surrounding it, the conduct of the de? partment, amount of water used, etc. The rules are comprehensive and will do mach towards increasing the efficiency of the department when rigidly enforced. Delgar Reel Squad No. 3 was organized on Friday, August I Ith, by the election of A. L. Moise as foreman, W.J McKageo. assistant foreman, and I. Barby Moses secretary and treasurer. The squad will hold monthly meetings on the first Monday in each month. R. H Jennings, I. H. Moses, E. 0- Ingram and Willie Bagual were elected nozzlemen ; Frank K. Winn and W. D. McLeod axemen. W. R. Dergar, Jr., R. H. Jen? nings and Phil Miller were appoint? ed a committee to draft by-laws for the government of the squad. W. J. McKageo, Willie Bagual and I. H Moses were appoint? ed to select a uniform. The reel is stationed at Epperson's stables. As to a Game of Ball. Mr. Editor: Please allow me space in your paper to correct the report, contained in your inst Issue, of tbe game of ball played between Hagocd and Sumter, on tbe4ih inst. You s??id : 4-The Hagood Club refused to play after the fourth inning, when the score stood 4 to 4, and the game was therefore given to Sumter by a score of 9 to 0." I must confess that I was surprised (though not astonished) that Sumter should allow this misstatement of facts to go in the public print. I kept the official ?core for Hagood, and the score stood at the ending of the fourth inning, 3 to 2, in our favor. According to the rules it should have been 3 to 1 ; but by stretching and twisting them, as Sumter did, to suit themselves, it ought to have been 4 to 2. It is true that Hagood did refuse to play after the fourth inning, but j it was not from fear of being demolished, but on account of the condition of the bail (it being wet and badly torn)and the heavy rain then falling. Hagood does not yield the palm to Sumter in but one thing, and taat is for chronic and persistent kickers, "they can take the cake." As such I will guarantee that they can cope with any team in the State. We play ball for the amusement of ourselves and other peopie, but with such uncalled for kicking and wrangling as was indulged in the other d?y, there was neither pleasure for ourselves nor enjoyment for others. We can assure Sumter that we are not afraid to meet them again, and will gladly do so any day and hour that they will name, on any ground out? side of Sumter. We would be glad if they would come here. Can promise them the prettiest ground in the county, a good game and a genuine country welcome. A. K. SANDERS, Manager Hagood B. B. Club. Hagood, S. C., Aug. 14th, 1893. [The Editor knows nothing about t - merits of the game of ball between tne Hagood Club and the Sumter Club referred to above. He did not see the game, and the re? port of the game published in thia paper was obtained from one who saw the game, and was accepted without question. ED.] ?? ? - Cow Stealing. A fine cow was stolen from the lot of Mr. W. S. Smith, of Smithville about ten days ago. On the morning alter the theft Mr. Smith set out to track tbe cow and in a short time b* had run his game down. He found the cow hanging up nicely skinned and clean? ed, and took it home with bim. Tbe Watchman and Southron and Cosmo* politan will be sent to any address for one year for $3 00 cash in ac vance. H*ve you erer seen tbe Cosmopolitan 7 Sample copies at this office. Brogdon Notes. News is very scarce ia tbis section. Nearly everybody is sick with tbe blues on account of short cotton crops, and the expectation of short prices. The general cry is that cotton is gone np, but it looks very much like it has gone down, for there is a great deal of it on the ground. Rust bas caused it to shed most of the top crop. The lower crop is pretty fair. Quite a large crowd, from different parts of the county, attended the Graham Sunday School pic-nic at the residence of Mr. J. T. Hays, on Tuesday, the 8tb iuetant, and every one seemed to enjoy the day. The health of this neighborhood is excellent at this time. J. T. H. Bembert Notes. Miss Pearl Rembert, a niece of Dr. E. J. Reinsert, is visiting Miss Helen Rembert. Miss Helen Rembert bas returned home after a visit of several months to Union, Spartanburg and other places. The Directors of the Penitentiary met at the State Farm on last Thursday. I have not beard their opinion of the crop, but presume it was favorable as Mr. Sanders is one of the best farmers in the county and gives the farm bis whole time. Mr. Thomas G. McLeod, who, last year, was principal of the bethel High School, bas been elected principal of the Line Academy. Col. J. A. Rharae and wife, of Magnolia, are visiting the family of Mrs. 8. L Keels. Mr. Murray McLeod has gone to Sumter to prepare for the examination for the Citadel scholarship. Mr. Tom Polk Sanders has returned from Chicago. Crops throughout this section are very good. Tobacco is being cured rapidly and is of better quality than the last crop. Pisgah Echoes. PISGAH, S. C., Aug. 14, 1893 I have observed rather closely, and inquired from oar be?t planters, the state of the cotton crop, and find that cotton bas thrown off about as much as it can possibly make on top from late growth. So. from this, the prospect is no belter for an increase from what it was some time ago for the general crop. There are exceptions to this io late cotton, and in some sections that did not suffer for rain. Capt. J. H. McLeod bas the finest corn I have seen. One reason for it, probably, is, be utilizes bis owe plan for manures, before going to Charleston first, last and all the time for ber dirt, wbich promises such golden results, but, alas ! pans out the other way. Mr. Hugh Evans, the big planter of Spring Hill, says that his. cotton is smaller than it has been since '81. This is the case generally, even where the crops, like Mr. Evans', have been nicely worked and manured. Peas, potatoes and late corn, are now doing ffuely. Yester? day we had a nice rain here, and today a general one seems to be falling. It has been raining hard here all day. Through the courtesy of Mr. R. P. Monaghan I inspected his fine building now near 9g completion in your city. Mr. E. J. Dunne politely and kindly showed me over the house and pointed out the work in detail. The Soor is doubly laid and feels as solid as cement. The ornamental work inside is done from plank cut from a magnolia tree which grew in the yard, black walnut and from a curly pine, which is very pretty. The windows will have heavy plate glass and the blinds a new fastening and prop which is a vast improvement on those now ic use. The fine residence is constructed by native I mechanics and proves that we have the talent here to build the finest bouses without going to yackeedom for it. Mr. Monaghan certai I Iy has one of the most comfortable, beautiful and well britt residences in your city, and reflects grert credit to his taste. Mr. Dunne says about 120,000 feet of lumber was used in its construction. After a pleasant visit of two weeks to rela? tives bere, Claude and Louie Rhame returned to Sumter Saturday. Miss Beulah Rhame, of your city, is visit? ing ber relatives here, also Mrs. T. M. Rodgers, of Bisbopville. Kev. abd Mrs. Kenney have returned home after au absence of weeks attending meetings. Colds and sore throats are in the land. Fodder pulling is going on. _ J. E. D. The Spark of Life.

These books are given various names, "Webster's Unabridged," "The Great Webster's Diction? ary," Webster's Dictionary," "Webster's Big Dictionary," Webster's Encyclopedic Dictionary," etc., etc.. Many announcements concerning them are misleading. The Webster reprint portion of each from A to Z is the same,-forty-four years behind the times, and printed from plates made by pbotgrapbing the old pages. The old book bas been padded out by var? ious additions culled from varions sources, but the body is the same that was published when Polk was president and daly buried at the incoming of Lincoln. The Webster, current from Lincoln to Harrison, is the popular copy? righted "Unabridged," which bas just been superseded by Webster's International Dic? tionary.-See advertisement m another column.

Are You Going to the World's Fair P If so, see that yonr ticket reads via Cin? cinnati and the C H. k D. and Monon-the acknowledged "Worlds Pair Route." The only lice out of Cincinnati connecting with E T. V k G. and Q k 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. & C, C. H. k 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.&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 auiversal verdict of the traveling pub? lic is that the Pullman Safety Vestibuled tra?as, running every day, "and Sunday too," via the C. H. k D. and Monon, between Cincinnati Indianapolis and Chicago, are without doubt the "finest on earth." These trains were especially built by the Pullman Company for ibis service, and embrace every improvement. Their magnificent coaches, luxurious sm ok io g cars, superb sleepers, ob* servatin cars, compartment sleeping cars and unexcelled dining car service, afford "all th? comforts of home." Leaving Cincinnati you pass through the beautiful Miami Valley, and for twenty-five miles the double tracks ruo through the very front door yards of tbe finest suburban homes in the country. Beyond Hamilton and up to Indianapolis, the line is noted for its scenic beauty. A stop over at Indianapolis, the capital of Indiana, may be obtained by depositing yobr ticket with the Secretary of tbe Commerlcal 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 aod commen?ai territory, and the ride is one of unparalleled comfort and beauty. Bear in mind that the C. H. k D. and Mr> non Route trains all rnn 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 grourids, but we recommend all persons to go directly into the Dearborn Station, which is located in the heart of the city and from which all street car lines converge, theo go directly by car or cab to your hotel or board? ing place. First locate yourself ; know where and bow yon are to live while io Chi? cago. Get the locality firmly fixed in yonr 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., suburban trains aod the steam? boats afford ?ample accommodations for all possible visitors, and it is but five minutes ride from the business portion of tbe city to the grounds. Take your breakfast down towo, buy your loncb 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 owu borne, but breakfast and supper should be taken down town, or at your boarding boase. 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? pend i ure of money.

The man that wishe? 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, feto so strong. The relation of Assets to- Liabilities shows this ; hut there are other elements of strength in in? telligence, capacity and integrity of management and a prolonged experience.

In the nae of Mineral Waters from many S??rces, both foreign and domestic, I am fully persuaded that the Harris Liihia Water possesses efficacy in the treatment of afflictions of the Kidney and Bladder uneijialed by any Other water of which I have made trial. Tbis opinion is based upon observation of its effects upon my patients for the past three years, during which time I have perscribed it freely and alalCst uniformly with benefit in the medicable maladies above mentioned. When failure to relieve has occurred, ? have imputed it to insufficient use Of the Wafer, 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.
