j Railroad Commissioner, and President of

to Colombia to attend the meeting of tbe State
Alliance. Mr. Evans made a few very forci?
ble remarks concerning Congressman McLan
rin and Col. John J. Dargan. Of the first he
said :
"He is a man that cannot be trusted. Any
man who will nse a ring to secure a plum
and then pat his foot on the neck of the same
ring is unworthy the confidence of either Re?
former or Conservative, and therefore I have
no communication with the gentleman."
In reference toCol. Dargan, Mr Evans said:
''There are three classes of fools-fools, d-n
fools, and river swamp fools. Dargan be?
longs to the third class."
Tbe report comes from Summerton that a
starch factory will be built io that town
This is good news and it is to be boped that
the factory will pay all parties concerned
The dispensary constables are getting to be
very adept in discovering contraband liquor,
but still a great deal escapes them, they ai a
willing to admit.
Sumter got off lightly Friday when com?
pared with other places. We had to endure
only a desultory fall of sleet, snow and rain,
while other towns were buried in snow.
Clerk of the Weather Hurst is improving.
The City Hall clock stopped Friday night at
10 minutes to 3 o'clock. The rain and sleet
falling against the dial9, collected on the
hands and froze them fast to the dials, so
that they could not revolve. The clock stop?
ped again this morning at 5.30 o'clock.
What is the matter with that clock ?
Constable J. L. Nunnamaker seized ten
gallons of contraband whiskey at the A. C.
L. Depot Monday mottling. It was in a keg
which was packed in tbe center of a barrel of
grist. The keg wa3 not exactly full of liquor
and when the barrel of grist was shaken the
whiskey made a slashing noise. It was con?
signed to Taylor & Ball, Elloree.
One of the city policemen went up into the
City Hall on Thursday night to ring the fire
alarm, aod got lost in tbe peanut gallery.
He blew his whistle for immediate assistance
like a little man, but it was quite awhile
before Chief Bradford heard the whistle, and
found the lost one after considerable search.
The Auditor's office baa been crowded every
day this week with people who have
put off uotil the last the duty of making
their returns. The entire force in ths office
has been kept hard at work and they are
taking comfort io the thought that to-mor?
row will be the last day of such work.
There are a great many who have not made
returns and the prospects are that the penalty
will be attached to a large number. This is
neglect that is without excuse, and those who
have to pay the penalty should not kick
against it.
Lot Davis, colored, who attempted to cut
the throat of Albertus Levan in a row about
a dog several weeks ago was before Trial Jus?
tice Wells yesterday morning for a preliminary
bearing. As the assault ?as of an aggravated
nature, and Levan narrowly escaped death.
Lot was bound over for appearance at tbe
higher court. Lot stands an excellent chance
of going from the higher court to the Peni?
tentiary, where he will have an opportunity
of reflecting over the dangers of razor toting.
The employees of the Charleston, Sumter
? Northern Railroad are on the anxious
bench, awaiting some action by the Atlantic
Coast Line authorities. A great many fear
thal they willrose their positions, and their
fears are well founded for the Coast Line
will operate the Charleston, Sumter & North?
ern as a branch road, and will have no need
mor the large office force heretofore employed
in tbe general offices. As far as can be
learned the Coast Line authorities have not
taken any action yet and it ?9 predicted that
no definite change will be made until March
1st.

MARRIED.
Mr Charles Curtis and Miss Jones, a j
daughter of the late R. M. Jones, were mar?
ried last Thursday evening at the residence of i
Mr. John Dorrity, this city.
There were more people in town Monday
thao on any day for two weeks. The com?
paratively fine weather has tempted the
weather-bound people to venture out.
Jordon Dicks, the baker, had a ba9ketfull
of doves Thursday afternoon that he killed
near town. He bad fifty-seven birds, which
he killed in fifty-eight shots.
It will not be possible to say definitely
whether the oat crop has been entirely killed
in this section nntil the snow has all melted,
bot a great many experienced farmers predict
that nine tenths of the crop has been
destroyed.
Constable Brown seized a box contair-ing
about two gullong of liquor, in jogs, at the
Coast Lin? depot Thursday morning It was
consigned to parties in Wedgefield. The liquor
was re-sbipped to the State Dispensary in
Colombia This is the second seizure reported
At this place within several weeks.
The firemen turned ont promptly Thursdav
night and did excellent service, as usual.
They saved Mr. Schwerin's residence from
certain destruction. It requires a great deal
of devotion on the part of volunteer firemen
to'torn out ou a night like last niebt, when
the ground was covered with snow, and the
temperature down below the freezing point.
Chief of the Fire Department requests the
writer to state thit persons who interfere or
get in the way of the firemen will do so, in
future, at their own risk. At every fire there
are a number of persons who crowd around
and seriously inconvenience the firemen in the
discharge of their duties. They are liable to
be run over or get wet by the water, and if
any one is injured it will be his own fault
To avoid injury all persons not members of
the department are warned to keep ont of
the way.
Last Friday night pedestrians were falling j
down on the ice-covered sidewalks without re
gard to whether it was a nrick pavement or a
mud hole where they landed. There was aman
walking along ahead of the writer last night,
who bas tbe instincts of a philanthropist, tie
struck a smooth place, cut a figure in the air
and then struck the pavement. As he picked
himself op, rubbing the point of contact, he
turned and warned ns tbat he had found a
slippery place. That was philanthropy of a
practical oature#under trying circumstances.
H is remarks in re the sidewalk, would have
had a listener to believe that he was not a i
member of the Church. He not only fell on j
the sidewalk, but from grace also.
ibe small boy, who enjoys a holiday much j
more than attending school, scored one on j
Mr. Bloom and h;s cellar drains on Friday
night. The boy, or boys, for there were two '
of them in the scheme, concluded, if that j
drainer kept on getting in its work that all !
the water would soon be removed from the I
cellar and school would be called on again, i
Therefore they slipped around tc the school j
house after dark and turned the drain so that j
the water would Cow down the steps into the j
cellar instead of out into the gutter. As the ?
drainer is run by water nressure from the ;
water main, the change in the waste pipe
caused an increase of the water in the cellar
?astead of a diminution. The trick was !
discovered on Saturday, and the waste pipe
was connected with an underground drain to '
prevent a repetition of the trick.
A nicely dressed young man walked into !
the Jervey House Wednesday nigbtand putting !
down a half dollar on the desk, said to Mr. '
Jervey: "Mr. Jervey, I know that is your .
name, this is every cent I have and I want a
place to etav to-cigbt, can vou let me have '
it?"
Mr. Jervey asked him a few questions and i
learned that the young man had walked from ?
Columbia, being unable to pay bis fare. He ;
was making his way from Florida to his
home in Fayetteville, N. C. He says that ]
business is at a standstill in Florida, and j
, that thousands of persons have been throws I
out of employment. That there has been .
even greater losses from the cold than any !
one beyond that State has any idea. Tbe j
j orange trees have been killed by millions, j
I and thousands of acres ot truck totally de
Stroyed. The truck farmers are financially
rained, and that great ."offering and even '.
destitution will bethe result. All who ?an
leave are going elsewhere in hope of obtain?
ing employment, but there will be many i
. more who cannot leave and will need assist- :
j ance. He predicts that within a week or two !
I a more urgent appeal will be sent out
j from Florida for help than came from
! Nebraska. His statement may be exagger
; ated, but if true the condition in Florida is
I desperate.
Mr. Jervey told him that be was welcome
to a lodging and asked if he did not want
! supper. The young man replied that he
j would have to do without supper as he had
' no money to pay fur it. With characteristic :
i bluntness Mr. Jervey said : "Dad blame tbe |
I money, there is plenty to eat in Sumter yet, :
I and you aregoiog to have a supper to-night
j right here in the Jervey House." He was as
i good as his word, and the young man re- ;
! ceived supper and lodging. This morning :
. he went on his way home to Fayetteville,
i Mr. L. H. Jones, the youngman mentioned j
j above as having stopped over in the city I
j the night before on his way home to Fayette- !
' ville, N. C., fro- ] Florida, was given a pass
! to Benuettsville by Mr. C. Millard, Superin?
tendent of tbe Charleston, Sumter & North?
ern Railroad, and the men in the offices at the
depot with their characteristic generosity
made up a purse for bim.

A New Board of Control.
Tbe Reform Executive Committee, at a
meeting on Saturday recommended for ap?
pointment on the Board of Control, Mr.
Henry C- Cuttinoand Capt. E. M. Cooper.,
The members of the old board placed their
resignations at the disposal of the committee,
it is said, and the committee forthwith dis?
posed of the old board by recommending two 1
new men.
Tbe third member of the board will be
Supervisor W . S. Dinkins who is ex-ofticio
chairman of the County Board of Control.
Gov. Evans will doubtless appoint the
gentlemen recommended during the next ten

Mr. J. A Scbwerm's Barn Burned.
T!:e alarm of fire was rung Thursday nihill
about 11.30 and the reel squads turned out j
promptly. The fire was found to ne located un
the premises of Mr. J. A. Schwerin on Magno?
lia S'reet, and his barn and stabie was ablaze
from bottom to top. The barn was situated |
only a short distant from the rear of Mr
Scbwerin'a kitchen, which caught afire more
than once, but was extinguished. In the j
barn Mr. Schwerin had a phaeton, a road cart ;
mid a lot of furniture stored, besides forage .
and grain. At one time during the fire it was ,
thought that a negro hoy who slept in the I
t>arn hud been burned with it, but lie turned ,
up later, sud 'he excitement wa3 allayed.

Shooting at the Factory.
- i
On last Wednesday Mr. 0. A. Robbins, !
Superintendent of the Sumter Cotton Mille, ;
and Mr. Hall, one of the department superin- i
teodents, oecame involved in a personal diffi?
culty Mr. Singleton Bradford, the special
policeman at the factory, interfered and at?
tempted to remove Mr. Hall, who is said to ?
have been under the influeuce of liquor. Mr.
Hall drew a revolver and fired at him, at
close range, narrowly missing him. Mr.
Bradford wrenched the pisolt from Hall's
band, and prevented him from shooting
again. Hall then drew a knife and succeeded
in inflicted a slight cut across Mr. Bradford's
wrist before it could be taker, froto him.
This ended the difficulty.
It is reported that a warrant has been
issued for Mr. Hall, charging him with an
assault wiih intent to kill. The report could
not ne verified, as Trial Justice Wells was
not in his office when the writer called to see
bira.
The case against Mr. Hall for assault and
battery with intent to kill was before Trial
Justice Weils Thursday afternoon for a pre?
liminary hearing. At the request of Mr. 0.
A Ro'ibins who preferred the charge, the
CHse was dropped on account of the fact that
Hat] was drunk at the time he attempted to I
shoot Mr. Singleton Bradford.
250 Gallons an Hour.
The Climax Cellar Drainer, which it was
announced several days ago had been ordered
for the Graded School Buildiug, has arrived
and was put to work Friday morning
It is operated automatically by water pre3- j
sure obtained from the city water works-a
jet of one-sixteenth of an inch being made to I
fill ? one inch pipe with the cellar water and j
discharge it at the rate of 250 gallons an |
hour.
It is sorted and stopped hy a float which,
wheo ail the water is discharged from the
cellar, drops a ball closing the water jet :
and when the watpr ris*"? ?ti the cellar the
ball is i if red r?y the float opening the jet and
putting the drrtiner'o work. A barrel sunk
in the lowest part of the cellar, rtceives the
water, from which it is taken up by the
drainer.
The drainer was ordered on trial and put
in bv Mr. H. B. Bloom, and from the way it
hat done the work it is thought that it will
clear the cellar io about 12 hours, and that
by its use the basement of the school building
can be kept clear of water. Should this one
not have sufficient capacity a larger size cao
be obtained. They are made to do four times
the work that this will do.

ciency from 80 to 90
The School Closed.
The School Board posted a notice on Satur- j
day that the Graded School would be di?
continued until March 11th, proximo. This
action was made necessary by the presence of
so great an amount of water in the cellar, !
which will have to be thoroughly drained be- J
fore the school can be resumed. The several
teachers are arranging to run private schools
during the interim, for the purpose of keep
ing the classes together. All who can afford
to send to these private schools should do so, j
as the three weeks intermission will be a j
serious interruption to the classes and a loss !
to the children.

BOUGHT BY THEJOOAST JblNE.
The C. S. & N. R. B Sold for
S450,000-Only One Eid.
Curiosity attracted * crowd cf not ?ess iban
200 io the Charleston, Sumter & Northern
Railroad depot last Friday, nil of thwn
anxious to hear Auctioneer Jervey cry off a
property involving millions of dollars. A few
minutes before 12 o'clock Special Master Ha
good and Auctioneer Jeivey arrived Ht the
depot, followed in a short time by J. T. Bar?
ron, E-q., ot Columbia, attorney of the Coast
Lin;-, Col. Vf. G. Elliott, pressent of the ;
Wilmington, Columhin und Augusta, R. R.,
General Manager J. R Kenley, of the Coast !
Line and Mr Lee, of the firm of Symthe k ;
Lee, of Charleston, who have represented the I
Atlantic Coast Line io this case.
Mr. Jervey and Special Master Hagood
mounted a truck on the rear platform of the
depot, and Col. Hagood proceeded to read
the not:ce and conditions of the sale from a!
a late copy of the Watchman and Southron. j
When he bad finished, Mr. C. M. Hurst, Clerk j
and Treasurer, of the city of Sumter, stepped :
forward and asked permission to read a
notice from the. City Council before the sale!
was proceded with. His request was granted. I
and he read a notice setting forth the condi- j
tions upon which the City of Sumter had !
granted and deeded to the Eutawville Rail- :
road Company and its successor, the Charles- j
ton, Sumter ? Northern Railroad Company, !
the lot of land upon which the depots ate'
situated, and also that the said Company bad j
failed to comply with the conditions upon ?
which the grant was made.
Auctioneer Jervey then took charge and
proceeded to cry off the road. He ' Gentle?
men, how much am I bid for this valuable
property ? Do ? hear au offer ? How much
aro I bid?"
Col. Elliott, who was standing near by
said, in a low tone: "Four Hundred and
Fifty Thousand Dollars."
Mr. Jervey repeated the bid a time or two,
and then down it went first, second, third
and laet time to Col. W. G. Elliott, who had
deposited a certified check for $10,000 with
Special Master Hagood. Col Elliott stated
that he would give the name of the purchaser
later.
The sale did not require but a few minutes,
and it was all over; aid the Charleston.
Sumter & Northern Railro-id had passed
finally imo the hands of the Atlantic Coast
Line.
. What disposition the Coast Line will make
of the road no one on the outside knows or
can form a trustworthy guess. It is to be j
hoped, however, that the road wili be operat?
ed in the interest of Sumter and the country
through which it passes.

THE DOCTORS FAILED.
Vixen Jenks Studied I p His Own Dis?
eue and Cored Himself.
(From the Providence, R. 1., Bulletin.)
There are but few diseases that puzzle
physicians more than rheumatism. There
are a great many theories as to its cause,
and a great many theories as to the best
meansof curingit,mostof which areabsurd.
One of the greatest sufferers of rheuma?
tism, known in the annals of medicine ia
John G. Jenks, of Riverside, R. I. He
became the victim of rheumatism while
in the armv, and the disease seems to
have given "him a taste of all its various
tortures. Physicians and medicinesfaiied to
give him any relief, nntil at last he effected
his own deliverance from the bonds of pain.
"Rheumatism!" said Mr. Jenks, whea the
subject was broached by a reporter who
went to hear his story. "Well, I should
say ? do know something about it. all
learned by actual experience, too. I first
contracted rheumatism in the army, and I
have had every variety of the affliction
since, and have suffered such agony with it
that at times death was a pleasant thought
to dwell upon. Take medicine? Enough
to stock a drug store, anti none of it did me
any good. Then I began to study thu* dis?
ease myself. I made up my mind to get
acquainted with the enemy and fight it on
different lines. I had a theory of my own
and began to look around for a remedy that
was calculated to have the desired effect.
One after another was tried until at last I
hit upon Pain-Killer, which I applied freely.
Almost with the first application came re?
lief. I kepton using it and the rheumatism
was soon knocked ouL Neither have J had
any return of the trouble,
"I also used Pain-Killer internally for
the ague, another w:ir relic. It did what
pounds of quinine couldn't do.
'Pain-Killer keeps guard in my boase
against all ills, and it baa never yet skpt al
ita post of duty."

We are now ready to submit the STOCK which represents

It represents the best the Market affords both in
MATERIALS AND STYLES,

much pleasure for you to see as for us to
show our Goods.
