Deaths
Mrs. Owens, wife of Mr. L. B. Owens,'
died on last Thursday morning, after a brief
ill cess of fever, at ber home io this city.
Capt. Robert W. Andrews.
Capt. Robert W. Andrews, the oldest roan,
withoot a doubt, in South Carolina, died oo j
last Thursday morning near this city. Capt.
Andrews would have been 105 years old had
he lived unt il Ju ly 4tb, next. He was sick,
only a few days, and his death was the result
of physical exhaustion, more than any par?
ticular disease. Be retained bis vigor and
was able to get about within a few days of
his death.
Be was born near Stateburg and this Coun?
ty has been bis borne duriog all bis long life.
He bas seen Sumter grow from a deserted
cross roads into a prosperous city. He saw
Manchester, in bis early days the most im?
portant place io this County, decay and grow
up io woods. In fact his life and recollection
covered the most important and eventful
periods, not only of Sumter County, bot of
the nation.
As a boy he drove a wagon from Stateburg
to Boston during the w?r of 1812. As a
yoong man be made a trip to the site of
Chicago, theo Fort Dearborn, a military ont
post io the midst of tb? wilderness. In the
war of Secession be was a good soldier, |
although over age and need not baveeolisted.
He gaioed more notoriety within the last
few years by bis pedestrian exploits. He
made* two trips from this ci ty to Boston and
returned on foot, and io tee North received a
great deal of attent ion. He ateo walked to
New Orleans to attend tbs Exposition.
Hts death removes one of tbe unique and
remarkable figures of thia section, and the
upright and sturdy figure of; the old centen?
arian will be Kissed on the streets. He leaves
several sons and daughters, and a great num?
ber of grand children.

clause contained in the policy.
The Railroad Situation.
General Manager Kenley, Col. T. M. Em
merson and Mr. H. Walters, the A.C. L. mag
nate, spent several days in this city last
week investigating the condition of the C. S.
k N. R.R. They made a trip over the road
and looked into the management of the offices.
There is no question now but that the A. C.
L., has purchased the Charleston, Sumter k
Northern, and as soon as the affairs of the
company can be gotten into shape the transfer
will be made.
It is not likely that there will be any de?
cided change in the management of the C. S.
k N. within 60 or 90 days, as the business of
the road cannot be put in shape for the trans?
fer in less time.
The situation, as stated by a railroad man,
is just this : There haa been some friction be?
tween the A. C. L Hud the Plant System,
and the latter sys'em bad the better of the
situation. Then the Coast Line built to Den?
mark and made connection with the S. F. k
P. s\stem and became independent, io n
mensure, of the Plant system, as far as the
Florida travel was concerned. The Plant
system bad no through connection to the
North, other than the Coast Line ; but could
secure one, and become an important rival
to tbe Coast Line by purchasing the C S k
N., building through from Walterboro to
Pregnals and building a short gap of road
from Hamlet to make a connection to the
North. Mr Plant has bees negotiating for
tbe road off and on for a year, bot could not
get the owners to sell at bis figures. He re?
fused to buy, expecting that the. road would
soon be forced on the market. While be was
waiting, tbe Coast Line stepped in and bought
tbe road, and Mr. Plant is left with no north?
ern outlet, and the Coast Line is master of tbe
situation. With the old Florida route Tia
tbe Wilson Short Cut, Florence, the North?
eastern and the Plant System; and the new
route over the M. & A. to Denmark and the
S. F. and P. the Coast Line commands. At
any time that it may be necessary, tbe Coast
Line eau build from Pregnalls to Walterboro,
or Yemessee?n tbe Plant System, or even to
Savannah, and tbe C. S. * N. will furnish a
link in the shortest route to Florida.
What the change bas in store for Sumter,
and what effect it will have upon our future,
cannot be foretold. We, of course, bope for
tbe best, and if the Coast Line should decide
to build to Camden tbe city will be beoefitted
If tbe Coast Line will not build, tbe people
of Sumter should build it themselves, for we
need another outlet, and this would give it
with the 3 C's and the Seaboard Air Line at
Catawba Junction.
A Tale of Woe.
David Porter, an old negro from Rimini,
came to town Monday in company with bis
son Thomas io sell cotton. They sold: the
cotton to Levi Bro's., and after trading
little bad $40 left. That night they went to
tbe house of George Tindal, the barber, to
spend tbe night. There were four or five other
guests at the Hotel de Tindal ?od they were all
under suspicion next morn i B g.
When old David woke up next morning bis
money was cone, and be began raising a row
at once, tindal sent for Assistant Chief
Weeks and kept all of his guests in doors
until he arrived. Officer Weeks made a
thorough search of the premises and the
persona of the guests, but the $40 could not be
found
Porter is obtaining- what satisfaction he
can by relating his ta?e of woe and hts ex?
periences when be fell among thieves, while
Tindal 5s griev?d that his botet should have
received sacfc a black eye at such an inaus?
picious time.
Baids Commenced.
Dispensary Constables Sam Newman, G.
M. Barrett and Geo. Jost Brown, have been ia
tbe city for several days looking after tbe
blind tiger business. On Saturday morning
they raided the premises of ?). Rosendorf,
John Hurst, M. D. Wheeler, D. Morris and
H. Manheim, and made search for liquor,
without warrants. No liquor was foo od, as
tbe tigers were evidently very much awake to
the sitoatiop, and were ready for tbe con?
stables when they appeared.
The campaign against the tigers will be
watched with interest.
Good Liquor Gone.
Constables Sam Newman and G. M. Barrett
made the first seizure of liquor in transit yes?
terday. They caught one 2-gallon jug of I
whiskey consigned to H. B. Holleman, of j
Mayes ville.
The whiskey was boxed up and tb? capture
shows the constables to have good noses, for
good liquor.
Constable Newman made aootber baul this
morning on the C S. k N. Railroad, securing
four packages. Tbe packages were billed for
St. Paul, S. C, and were consigned to Joe
Ragin, B. H. Fuller, H. Fuller and B. Rich?
ardson.
Constable Brown also seized a can of whis?
key at Sumter Express office io transfer from
the A. C. L. to C. S. k. N. R. R.
AU tbe whiskey was shipped to Commis?
sioner, D. X. Traxler, Columbia.

At a Frolic.
At a negro frolic about five miles below
this city last Friday night a fight occurred,
and Wiley James was badly slashed with a
pocket knife. One cut extended from the
right ear across the side of his face through
the top of the nose into the lip. Aootber
laid open tbe skin diagonally across tbe
forehead. Still another slash split James's
breeches from the seat to the knee. This last
cut did not reach the meat, and is evidence
that Wiley fled from cold steel. The other
negro bas fled also.

A String to it.
The case of H. Murray Davis against Sheriff
Sanders for false imprisonment was tried last
week and a verdict for the plaintiff was found
in the sum ot $75 dollars. R. 0. Purdy,
Esq., defendant's attorney made motion
for a new trial, which was granted, with the
provision that should Mr. Davis agree with
in ten days to accept $25,00 no new trial
would be granted.
A judicial decision with string to it is just
a little peculiar. What's the use of a jury
these days anyway ?
