Edwards in it Again. THE YOUNG MAN COMMITS FORGERY AND IS ARRESTED. It looks as ir Lawrence W. Edwards is past arl reformation. Frieads interceded in bis behalf recently and got b;:n pardoned /"rom the State prison where be was btrving a hrm for previous crimes. Hardi/ had he been .re? leased, before be was re-arreited on warrants charging him with additioo?! offecce3; but his friends succeeded in havitg these c.jes compromised and thc young mau got free in time to spend Christmas with bis family. He bad been ia prison herore taij, however. Ai! are familiar with his many misdeeds. The yoong fellow, though ooce highly esteemed, seems to have a love of crime that is past ha? man understanding. Tbts time be bas turned to strike the friend? ly hand that was doing a?? in its power to help him-along the right path. And once more he rests behind bar3, with the gloomy prospect or another term in prison staring bim in the face. On Wednesday Edwards went iDto Mr. A. M?Craoey's store and told bia? that Rev. W. H. Kirton, who ts the pastor of one of the Methodist churches io the city bad seat him to ask Mr. MeCraceylo cash" for the minister a^beck/or $25, as he wished the money to pay some hands for work on the parsonage. Mr.'McCraffiey, seeing that the Rev. Mr. Kir ton's name was e.o the check, and being d' - posed to accomodate bim, looked in his mon? ey drawer io get the cash, bm on finding on? ly $6 ia the drawer, he told Mr. Edwards that he was sorry, bot he only had :that a m on nt and con ld not cash the check. Ed? wards replied quickly: "Well, give me tbe S6 and I will loaa Mr. Kirton $20." Mr. Mc Craney gave him the money, but afterwards became suspicious that the chack might not be all right. So early Thursday morning he went to see tbs minister aod made the discovery that the check was a forgery. A warrant for the arrest of Ed wards was at once sworn ont before Trial Justice Tradewe 1, charging bim with forgery. The Rev. Mr. Kirton recently exerted all his infiueoee to get Edwards pardoned out cf the State penitentiary. Since his release he has shown him every kindness, giving him employment, loaning him money, and aid? ing bim io every other possible way-doing fell be could to thoroogbly reform bira. He deeply regrets the way it bas ended. Edwards on Thursday became intoxicated, and gathering everything be coold find, was endeavoring to flee to Washington. Finding the officers of the law were getting hot on bis traii be fled to the country. Yesterday af? ternoon the officers located him in a small bouse near the rock quarry. They went in ? to And bim hidden beneath a sofa. When they pulled bim out he declared that be would not be arrested aad resisted. He told the officer.: he would kill the first one to lay bauds on him. Constable Hartin quietly informed him that he was fooling with the w;ong man and be intended to bring him back to Columbia dead or alive. Edwards was theo arrested and brought to the city. He wai taken before Trial Justice Trade well, given a preliminary, and tbe evideoce being conclusive, be was seot to tbe Richland jail io default of $1.000 bond, to await trial for forgery at the March term of the Court of Generai Sessions.- TkeSlaf*. j A Lou g Road to St. Charles. ST. CHARLES, S. C., Feb. 3, 1895. A few mornings since, after indulging in the epecureao meou of our luxurious break? fast table, we arose therefrom with graceful dignity, and glancing through the window and also through humid atmosphere, espied an approaching "wheel." This "wheel" bore tbe unmistakable mark of the Sumter bar acd we recognized tbe form and features of one of Sumter's legal lights. He was smiting a sort'of January sunshine smile and gliding in a bee line for onr immediate local? ity, with bis overcoat pockets crammed with the most portentous looking' yaller papers, and a sorter of a man-damo-us look under? neath the smile. We exclaimed a brief ; prayer as onr heart dropped down among ? our liver and lights and- things, and hastily; glancing towards the back door, calculated ? the chances cf retreat, but there was no time ; for this masterly movement. (Now we! baiot done nothing-nothing mach-our ere- : ditors will all swear to that-but yon see, we.i are afflicted with a sort of * nervous appre- ; faensiou just now, arising from dyspepsia or other causes, mostly other causes, and it is always aggravated at this season and we hear i it is serf prevalent just now, very.) Weli we ! concluded that defiance was the better part of : valor io this instance, and mustered up as! radiant a smile as time woaid permit. It was i a hard metallic sort of smile, we know, hut it melted into the softest of June grins as we; met our legal-light friend and beard him say j "well I've come to you in distress and throw myself upon your generosity fer assistance." j We immediately, emphatically, but inaudibly ! and generously exclaimed wiihio us "Thank 1 God it's you in distress then, and not a writ of distress agin ns." He looked cold enough to have been riding an icicle instead of a bicy- ! cle, bnt be protested he was not cold, rather ? perspiring, though he did look monstrous "dry," except about the shoes and socks. They appeared to be in a very profuse sweat and he admitted to being somewhat moist in . that direction, having taken to water along tbe road, something less than knee deep and ; mile long. Now Mr. Editor, can you credit I the fact that one of Sumter's brightest lights. "A native and to the bonor born," in order to reach the extreme N. W. corner of Mt. j Clio township, would have taken the A. C. L. R. R , to Atkins, with the view of taking tbe Bishopville R. R , to Elliotts, and then ? ' on wheel to this point? We know that the : ways of lawyers are dubious and devious and : past finding out, but bad there been mileage in this case or a chancery suit we would have the solution ; but it was neither. In fact, j we'll be blessed if he did not have the effron? tery, to tell us be was simply bunting a magazine. Well, well, there are some folks we have been advised, it is always best to bon? or, so we offered to assist in tbe search for a magazioe, be it pamphlet, provision or powder magazine so it was not to blow us up. So we started, and after more moisture and mod and spatter aod shivers, we succeeded in reaching the ultima thole of his ambition and desires. Oar legal-light friend remained over some 36 boors and spent tbe night witb us, and we enjoyed bis company, but must say be evinced a marked predilection for very singular company, dnriog tbe day, as to race, color, aod,previou8 condition of servitude, et" We rather opine that the next time oui ?rieod boots a magazioe, over this way, be will come direct to St. Charles, C. S. & N. R. R., aod choose a time wheo there is lees moisture io earth and air, and when he will be less liable to say "purdy-tion take the mao who mapped my route."

Leod, McKain, Muldrow, Dwight, Walsh, Cresswell, Owens, Dinkinsand Davis present. The minutes of the last meetiog were read and approved. The bond of Mis? DuRant a3 superintend? ent of the Poor House was lead and accepted. Messrs. R. W. DuRant and Neill O'Donnell ar? thesurifies on her bond, which is for the sum of Sl,500. The question of purchasing supplies for the Poor House was taken up, and disposed of on motion Mr. McKain that tbe supervisor be instructed to purchase such supplies as may be needed. Mrs. Susan E. Watt* was admitted to the Poor House on the request of I. H. Ives. The account for care of paupers during month of January amounting to ?167 was approved. This was at tbe old rate of 23 ; cents per day, which the Board agreed to pay since Miss DuRant was acting ucder tbe old contract. The need of water works in the county jail was brought to the attentioo of the Board. A committee was appointed to investigate tbe matter and report the cost at the next meet? ing of the Board. Supervisor Dinkins was instructed to advertise for bids for the bonds, which the Legislature authorized the county to issue. He was authorized, also, to borrow $4,000 if so mach be necessary, to pay the expenses of the next term of court. R. D. Lee, Esq., the attorney of the board was present and gave bis opinion in reference to the act, and tbe duties and powers of the board under the act. He advised the board to abide the letter of the law, and that nuder the law certain duties devolve upon the entire board, while others devolve upon the Super? visor. A large number of claims for work an roads and bridges were examined and approved. The Board decided to meet once each mooth, instead of quarterly, during thia year, inasmuch as there would be a great deal of business to come before the board. Tbe township board of Sumter township was instructed to proceed in the matter of opening the road around tbe Savannah the ? lands of Dr. A. J. China and estate of John S. Richardson. Wrecked on the Coast Line. Yesterday morn tog about nine miles from Columbia, near Lykes', a freight train was ! wrecked on the Coast Line, but no one was hurt in any way. The train broke ia two \ parts on a grads The air brakes, when the j pipes were broken, fell on the first part of the train and stopped it, whiie the last half hav rag no air brakes, came down upon it with a : crash. Four box cars were smashed up, one, '?? containing a lot of empty dispensary bottles, i being^a complete loss. In a very short time; a wrecking force was at the point and some I beautiful work was doue clearing the track. | The up passenger train, \vbich should have j arrived here from Charleston at 11:20 o'clock ; did not get by and reach Columbia till after j 2 pm. It did not go on through to Clinton. | An engine and a special coach made that j trip, md a train came all the way through; from Atlanta yesterday afternoon, reaching j here about 6 p. m. and failing to make the j connection for Charleston. It is cot often : that the Coast Line has such mishaps and when it does no time is lost in clearing the j track.- The State. ---^T* The New Stenographer. The Florence Messenger in the issue of Fri? day, says in reference to the change of steno? grapher for this circuit. "Mr. L. I. Parrott, of Sumter, who has for a number of years filled the position of court stenographer for this circuit, and filled it so satisfactorily to every person concerned, has been succeeded by a son of the new Stale barkeeper, Mr. F. M. Mixon. Mr. Parrott was not a Tillraanite and in consequence he j was unable to keep his position. Then the Forty talk of peace and unity and all such popy cock! It matters not bow efficient a man may be, if be is not a Tillmanite he need expect nothing from this set of political tricksters. Mr. Parott has our sympathy, but at tbe same time we honor him." If the theory and practice that "to the vic? tor belongs the spoils " did not obtain, there would be no reform, for it is founded upon this and has lived and had its existence in tbe practice of the theory. If the reform? ers displace Judge Fraser to make a place for one of the ring, it is not surprising that stenographer Parrott had to make way for a sprig of reform. Deafness Cannot be Cured by local applications as tbey cannot reach the diseased portion of the ear. There is only one way to cure deafness, and tbat is by con? stitutional remedies. Deafness is caused by au inflamed condition of tbe mucous lining Eucbiachian Tube. When this tube is in? flamed you have a rumoliog sound or imper* feet hearing, and when it is entirely closed, Deafness is the reeult, and unless the infiraa mation cat be taken out and this tube restored to its normal condition, hearing wiii be des? troyed forever: nine out of teo are caused by catarrh, which is nothing bm an inflamed condition of the mucous surfaces. We will give One Hundred Dollars for any case of Deafness (caused by catarrh) that can not be cured by Hall's Catarrh Cure. Send for circulars; free. F. J. CHENEY & Co., Toledo, u.

A Be3 Moines woman who has been troubled with frequent cold--, concluded to try an old remedy in a new way, and ac? cordingly took a tablespoonful (four times tbe usual dose) of Chamber Iain's Cough Remedy just before going to bed. The next morning she found that her cold had almos' entirely disappeared. During the day she took a few doses of the remedy (one teas? poonful at a time) and at night again took a tab'espoooful before going to bed, and on the following morning awoke free from all symptoms of the cold. Since then she has, ou several occasions, used this remedy in like manner, with the same good results, and is much elated over her discovery of so quick a way of curing a cold. For sale by Dr. A. J. China. Xenia Notes. IONIA, S. C., Feb. 1, 1395. Mr. .Editor : It has rained and rained, and and then it would rain flgain, until it bas stopped farm work. Well, we can't blame Tillman or the Dispensary for it raining too much. Of course we are not complaining about what cannot be helped, for we are taught that all things work together for good, to those that love and obey the com? mandments, I believe is about the way it reads. But I fear that there are so few of us that obey the commands, that we cannot claim the promise; but aside from that, I know that most farmers are io a bad fix. We are obliged to go in debt a little if we can, and we are afraid ibat we will not be able to pay that little at the present outlook. But the farming interest of the County cannot stop. If it does, we wi!! have a panic sure enough. So I think all other professions ought to do all in their rower to help the far? mer. The merchant, I believe is willing to do, but he like the farmer, is in straightened circumstances, or at least some are, and are afraid to venture. But if we do not help one another, matters will get worse and worse. God never intended one man to be entirely independent of all others. One man may own millions of money, but he ia depen? dent on some one else io use it for bim, that he may accumulate more. So we see tba: while the poor are dependent OQ the rich, the rich are dependent on the poor. So if all would work together in barmoay, I believe there would be hope for us yet. Some people are predicting that soon tbe moneyed men will own all the land, and then we will all be tenants, looking upon it with great hor? ror. While I would hate to see that the case, I can't see but that some would be just as well off, for they would have to feed and cloth us, and if they gave U3 plently it would be more than some are getting aow. But I have let imagination run-away with me. So I will stop and tell you that tbe farmers are cot buying aoy guano yet, and I don't believe they will buy much. And I believe it will be best for us to leave it off, for I think it more of a habit than anything else ; my experience has been that tvo years out of five it does not pay. And taking every? thing in consideration, the extra labor in j hauling and putting it out, I believe if all j that time and labor was taken up ia banting and making manure at home, we would be i better off in the end. For it is poor policy to j give certainty for uncertainty. It seems that tbe guano companied ?re afraid to make the j farmers an offer, for fear that tbe farmer might give more than ?hey are willing to take, but I think they need not be uneasy, I for the farmers are not at ail anxious. Some i of our Graoges bave tried lo get prices, bot tbe companies say they have not decided on j prices as yet. DRY JIM. 0. W. 0. Hardman, Sheriff of Tyler Co , _ W. Va., appreciates a good thing and does ' not hesitate to 2ay so. He was almost pros- : trated with a cold wben he procured a bottle of Chamberiain'3 Cough Remedy. He says: i "It gave me prompt relief. I find it to be ' an invaluable remedv for coughs and cold." | For sale by Dr. A. J. China. Base Bail. Why Not Have a Club m Sumter if an Inter-State League is Organized? The perenuial base bali enthusiasm bas i brcken out in the South, and there is much tal k of organizing an Inter-State Leagae to: include the cities of Augusta, Macon, Savan- j nab, Spartanburg, Greenville, Columbi* and Charleston, and perhaps Asheville, to :nnke j the circuit complete. Now this would bea very good circuit, but why not omit Asheville, and put Sumter in as the eighth city. Sumter has a fine base ball park alreadv, and there would be no ex? pense in this score. Sumter is favorably situated, so much so that hy having a club ip. this place would materially reduce the length of the jumps between games. Sumter isa good base ball town, and if a league is formed to include Sumter there would be no trouble about securing a first-class club to represent the Game Cock City. Rev. Dr. Blodget who has been a ? Cougregatioual missionary in Chiua for i forty years, recently returned to Amer? ica. Dr. Blodget is a native, of Maine, and was graduated from Yale College io 1848. Of the war between China j and Japan he said recently that many ! of the people in China do not yet koow \ a war is in progress. Reprehensible conduct on the part of a supposed corpse was the cause of a serious accident to two women in the town of Heywood, England; Friday. They were watching by the body of a friend who bad died on the previous ; day. The dead woman had been laid out, measured for her coffin, and was ready for burial. Suddenly the corpse blew away the cloth covering her face ; and eat up. The two watchers fled \ with wild shrieks. They were in such ! a hurry to get away that both fell down . stairs and lay helpless from their in - j juries at the bottom, but were still ? able to give voice to their terror in frightful screams. Many persons came to their aid, but it was a long time be- ! fore any body dared go up stairs Finally several ventured together, and the doctor was summoned. The sup? posed dead woman, says the London correspondent of the New York San, described lier agonies of mind over the preparation for her burial, of which she had been fully cognizant. Thc shock was too much for her, and a few hours later she died in earnest. The other two women are in the hospital.
