The stamen of condition of the Simoods Bank oz. thc 19th instant, is published to-day j oc^r the call of the Comptroller of the j Cufreocy. The large amount of the deposits j shows the confidence that the people have in j this bank, and an examination of the entire ' report indicates a careful and conservative management. The volume of buainesss, we learn, baa been larger this year than ever be? fore. The house of Harrison J. Witherspoon, ? colored, below the A. C. L. depot, was j entered during last Friday and a hara and about five dollars worth of provisions stolen, j Bill Pickeus, charged with selling whiskey 1 at Mayesville, who was taken to Shiloh Fri? day for trial before Trial Justice E. J. Goodman, sued for a change of venue, and bis case will be tried in some other county. He was returned to Sumter jail to await further developments. A SUNDAY KOW. The usual peace and quiet of the holy Sab? bath was disturbed Sunrday afternoon, at the corner of Main and Liberty Streets, by a most cowardly and brutal assault upon the person of an unarmed and defence? less colored man, "Jim brisbane. The cir? cumstances of the case are lengthy, hut it 13 perhaps best to deni with the row from the begin ning of the assault as given the reporter by reliable authority Jake Mack called Jim Brisbane up to where he and Chief J. K. Bradford were standing and asked Brisbane what was the trouble between his, Jake Mack's, wife and Brisbane. In answer to another question, why he cursed Jake Mack's wife, Brisbane denied having cursed ber, but said that Jake Mack's wife had been cursing and abusing Bisbane's wife atid child all day Saturday and startrd it again this Sunday, morning, and be told her that she must stop it. Brisbane said he did speak pretty rough to Mack's wife, but she deserved it. Brisbane started to walk off with bis hands in hi pocket, and as bis face was turned Jake M nek, s without the slightest warning to Brisbane, aod without any provocation, struck bim a cowardly and terrific blow across the face with a stick that had an oxydized silver bend on it. The silver head cut deeply into Bris? bane's face and slushed his forehead, cheeks and eyes into a mass of crushed bone and flesh. It was a blood curdling and brutal sight to see the unsuspecting and defenceless darkey so shamefully butchered ny such a cowardly villain Jake Mack, like the coward he is, started to rim, but Chief of Police J. K. Brad ford's pistol ws?8 whipped out in the twinkling of an eye; and Mack realizing bis danger, stopped aid threw up bis bands.- It is perhaps good for bim that he did co so, as he might have met the fate he so richly deserved. Brisbane was terribly cut and was taken into Dr. A J. Cbiua'a Drug Store, where he received medical attention. It is thought he will loose the sight of both eyes. The reporter s?w bim when be was being taken to a buggy tc be* sem home, and it was a pitiful sight-blind, bleeding and sb weak from pain and loan of blood as to be unable to speak or get imo the vehicle. Mack was locked up in the station house and Mayor B. G. Pierson deserve great credit for promptly ordering Chief Bradford to go and get Mack's wife and lock her up also, which was done. It is said that Jake Mack's wife kept putting him np to go and attack Brisbane, and that she bad been trying to raise a row ever siuee Saturday rooming. Mayor Pierson ordered Chief Bradford to go before Trial Justice Wells and swear out a warrant for assault and battery, of a high and aggravated mu ure, with intent to kill, and. to keep lake Mack's wife in the station house until be tried ber. Mayor Pierson made short work of the trial bf Julia .Mack, Jake Mack's wife, charged with disorderly conduct, and' rais? ing a disturbance on Saturday and Sunday on ' Liberty and Bartlett Streets. Mayor Pierson was in full possession of the facts in relation to this woman's participation io the Brisbane and Jake Mack assault of yesterday. He bad foreseen tbat a row was imminent, and warned this woman to go borne and be? have herself.. Fine $10 or twenty days. Trial Justice Wells has issued a warrant for Jake Mack for assault and battery with intent to kill, and committed bim to jail to await the result of Brisbane's injuries. It is feared that Brisbane may not recover as bis wounds are very serious. The hand? writing on the wall indicates a rope stretching. - I- ???*?-M The Sports Celebrate the Day. Christmas Day was desecrated yesterday by a brutal chicken fight several miles ont of the city. Some of the city gentlemen of sporting proclivities were present and cele? brated Christmas by participating in this cruel and unmanly (so-called) sport, of see? ing chickens cut themselves to death with gaves. Christmas Day is supposed to be a day of peace and of charitable deeds, and kind ac? tions, but if there is any kindness or charity in cruel chicken fighting, the writer fails to see it. Men should seek amusements and society calculated to elevate them, a"d reli? gion should also play a prominent part in the day's program, but obickes fighting is de? moralizing and debasing. Ii is not known bow much money changed hands on this form of gambling for chicken fighting is generally indulged in for the mon? ey that there is in ii, as there can be no amusement in it to the intelligent and refined man. Neither does the writer know how many fights occurred nor how many cbickeos were cruelly tortured to death for the purpose of satiating ibe gambling thirst of the specta? tors and pitters T. W. Lee Elected Dispenser. The election for Dispenser, for the Sumter Dispensary, by the County Board ef Control resulted in the election of T. W. Lee to suc? ceed the present incumbent W. H.

A LIFE SAVER. What it Means to be a Sm-fman-Hard? ship au cl Injury His Chief Reward. From the Woonsocket (22.I.) Reporter. One midwinter night, in a blinding snow storm, Captain Arthur L. dickerson, in command of the gallant little schooner Allen Green, ran out from Vineyard Sound before the northeast gale and made for the open sea. The storm was at its height when the wind shifted so suddenly that before the skipper realized his situation his ears caugnt the sound of the breakers booming on Point Judith's treacherous shore. Fifteen minutes after the Allen Green struck, Captain Herbert M. Knowles* crew of hardy life savers had begun the work of rescue. ' Captain dickerson, when brought ashore, was in a pitiable condition. As he later stated in his official report of the disaster (see Government Report) made to Superin? tendent Kimball of the Life Saving Service, "I suffered muck from cramps and pains caused by the bruises I received before I went ashore, having been at the wheel fifteen hours continuously." The life savers wrapped the brave young sailor in warm blankets and gave him Pain Killer freely. The famous old remedy ac? complished an immediate relief, and Captain dickerson slept as peacefully as achilo that night and awake next morning in a condition to face another tempest, if necessary. He feels that the prompt use of Pain-Killer after his fearful experience rescued him from un? utterable supering;and even saved his life. Brave Captain Knowles is now assistant superintendent of the life saving district He says the life savers all use Pain-Killer, and consider it the best and roost reliable "all-around" remedy they can have by them. Captains Asa Church, ot Point Judith sta? tion; Albert Church, of Narragansett Pier; Davis at Watch Hill; Saunders at Quono ehontaug-and their gallant crews, endorse Captain Knowles in his unstinted praise of Pam-Killer as an invaluable remedy for emergencies encountered in daily life.
