Mr. Harris the Agent of the Ssa Fire Insu? rance Co , of New Orleans, was here yester? day inspecting the risks held by his company in this city. We have heard considerable complain; from our citizens in reference to tbe high and increasing rates of insurance, despite the largely increased facilities the city enjoys for fighting fire, ano which, tba citizens were led to believe, would have the effect of reducing insurance rates. Some of onr leading business men are prepared now to take measures of relief, which will not be of advantage to the com? panies concerned, in that they will not receive their patronage, tn the event that the plans of the citizens shall materialise. We known of one gentleman whose rate was raised to seven per cent; who has cancelled bis insurance, preferring to assume the- risk himself rather than submit to this exorbitant rate. From the current talk on the subject we have no doubt " that we will have occasion very soon to refer to it again. A Treat In Store.

Schrewd Swindler. The sensation of the mouin was developed on Monday morning when it was noised aroood that L. W. Edwards, the yoong law? yer who came here last week, bad left without saying good-by to his newly made Sumter friends, whom he bad shrewdly swindled out of $535.00. Edwards had departed taking wife and child and a pair of black horses and a new buggy which he had bargained to buy from Mr. W. J. McKain. Later in the day it was learned tbat Edwards had gone to Camden and was then in that place. Mr. McKain swore out a warrant before Trial Jostice Manning, and together with Sheriff Sanders and Mr. R. 0. Pnrdy set ont imme? diately for Camden, Sheriff Sanders ha vin.j first sent a telegram to the Sheriff of Kershaw to bold Edwards until bia arrival. During the day while awaiting news from Camden, the story of Edwards' operations was told and retold on every side. Stripped of all de t ni j s the facts are as follows : ? L. W. Edwards, accompanied by wife and child, came to this city about ten days ago and engaged board at Mrs. E. C. Green's. He secured an office in the Masonic Temple, aod announced that he bad located here for the practice of the law. He defended M. D. Wheeler In the blind tiger case, and upon conviction appealed to the higher court. Ed? wards is a rather tall aod erect man Of about 30 years, clean shaven aod carries himself wi tn considerable dash. His manners were pleasant and exceedingly plausible-so say those who had dealings with bim. He was not long io renewing bis acquaintance with several gentlemen of this city who were at school with him, and then he began to get io his work. ' He made one or two small purchases from Cottino ? Delger, paying cash. The next day be made other porchases and gave in pay men t a check on the Loan and Exchange Bank of Charleston, telling them that be had moory deposited there aod had not had time to have it transferred to the bank here. The check was accepted and be wis given the dif? ference to cash. Other merchants were vic? timized in the same manner. 'Mr. L. S. Car? son cashed a check for $30. Mr. Robt. Del gar identified lom at the Bank of Somier, end en? dorsed, a check for $50. On Saturday be purchased a pair of horses and boggy from Mr. Wiley McKain giving bim a check of $380 itt pay meat. The horses were to be isft at Mr. McKaio'sstable uotil the check could be collected. Sunday morning be took tbe horses oot to drive his wife aroood the city. Wheo he did oot return Mr. McKain began to get ueeasy. Monday morning a telegram was seat to the Charleston Beak inquiring con? cerning Edwards. The reply steted that be had no account there. This satisfied everyone that they bad been duped. The checks have bessi returned. When Ed ward 8 reached Camden on Sunday he stopped at the Latham House. On Monday be sold the team to Mr. George Little for $170. Soon alter the sale *?as made Sheriff Sanders' telegram was received in Camden Tbe Sheriff looked Edwards op, but he coolly refused to.be arrested without the warrant', and denied each and every charge. He was, however, kept under espoioege all day, bot just after dark and a abort while before Sheriff Sanders sad McKain arrived, he suc? ceeded ie slipping ont of town, leaving his wile and child. Yesterday morning it was learned 'that be bad made bis way on foot to the towo of Kershaw. There be was arrested, and be was brought back to this city under arrest on the evening train. His wife and child accompanied him. Mr. McKain recovered his team without loss to himself or Mr. Little, the $170 being recovered from Edwards. After reaching here last night Edwards de? clared his intention to settle np all accounts against bim. The swindled persons presented their claims and be allowed them all. He then made a draft for the whole amount on Mrs. Mary C. Rion, of Winnsboro, and got bis wife to sign it. Tbe writer understands that she did so with reluctance, and conveyed the impression to those present that the draft would not be cashed f A telegraphic reply bas been received from Winnsboro saying the draft would not be honored.] This being completed, Edwards was placed in jail to spend the night. Mrs. Edwards sod child weotfrom the depot to Mrs. Green's where they still ere Edwards belongs to a good family and was raised in Walterboro. Both his father aod mother were known to a somber of people here. His wife is a daughter of the late Col. Jas. H. Rion, of Winnsboro. Edwards is said tc be ? regular brack-sheep and has been in other scrapes. He has recently com? pleted a term in prison for forging. He merits and should receive punishment to the extent of the law, but nb one can fail to sym? pathize with and pity bis wife and child, the little girl io particular. Itwasa sad spectacle yesterday evening when the party got off the train, Edwards, the prisoner, the Deputy Sheriff on one side, hts wife on the other, and the little girl, apparently about five years' edd walking ahead, a bunch of flowers io her hands, seemingly unconscious of the meaning of tbe scene, and then the eager, pushing crowd of curiosity-drawn people surrounding them on all sides. What a memory for after years for that child ! A Successful Sumter Boy. Mr. Milton Dargan arrived in the city yesterday from Dallas, Texas. He comes for the purpose of establishing a southern department of the Lancashire Insurance com? pany, Manchester, England. Heretofore its business in the south has been divided. Mr. Dargan bas hitherto bad the general agency for two or three states., with headquarters at Dallas Texas. Dtber agents reported at New Orleans, to Charleston, and some perhaps to Rich? mond. The company has decided to make one general headquarters for the entire south, including the Virginias, Kentucky, Tennessee and all the southern states to and including Texas. Mr. Dargan has been placed in charge of the seotbern department, and bas secured elegant quarters in the Equitable building. This removal will bring at least twenty-five people to Atlanta, with the office force abd their families. The magnitude of the business of th i company can scarcely be estimated. It i one of the foremost of tbe companies of the world, and has done an immense busi? ness in tbe south as well as elsewhere. All the agents in the southern territory will in future report to Atlanta. Mr. Dargan will require the use of five offices in the Equitable building. After the Lancashire company bad de? termined to establish general southern headquarters, Mr. Dargan was given the choice between Atlanta, and New Orleans and the selection of this city was the result of summing up its advantages with reference to thrift, future prosperity and climate. Mr. Dargan is connected with one of the oldest families in South Carolina, from, which state he went to Texas. He is an elegant, cultured gentleman, and will be a valuable addition to Atlanta's business and social circles.-Atlanta Constitution. Governor Tillman's Son Acci dentally Shoots a Companion.

Liberty St., Baltimore, Md., Dear Sirs: ID reply to yours of the 7tb inst., I would say I used the "Cerealite" bought of you, principally ?s a top-dressiog on oats. Applied it about the 10th of March, and in my opinion the yield was increased from 25 or 27 bushels per acre to 40 or 45 per acre. I was much pleased with the dress? ing. In 4 days after the application I could see a marked improvement in the growth and condition of the crops. The soil on which crop was grown is a light sandy loam, which, without fertilizer, would produce say, 25 bushels oats per acre, or 12 bushels corn. I used some of the "Cerealite" on corn, applied it at time of planting and was much pleased with tbe result. Tue corn grew off rapidly and matured early. 1 am much pleased with your "Cerealite," and will continue to use it. Yours very respectfully, E. MILLER BOYKIN. TOP-DRESS ALL CROPS WITH "Cerealite."

Gentlemen : In reply to yours of the 15th., beg to say that the Home Fertilizer chemicals paid this year on my farm better than any other fertilizer used by me. I think it was owing to its holding out so much longer than the ammouiated fertilizers which appear to start off crops early and after appear to fail too quickly. Yours truly, S.;D. LANE. JACKSON, N. C., Oct. 17, 1892. Messrs. Boykin, Canner k Co. Gentlemen : Io reply to your enquiries as to the efficacy of Home Formula, I have used the same for the past six years in quantities varying from 3 to 25 tons. I consider it one of the most reliable fertilisers that I have ever used, and, cost considered, cheaper than other fertilizers that I have used. My experience is confined to its use under and by the side of corn and cotton only. When carefully and properly made, and used as per directions, I consider it unequaled. Respectfully, GEO. P.
