INQUEST OVERAS A M PIERSON.
Sam Pierson died late Tuesday
afternoon of la*t week from the ef?
fects of the wound inflicted on the
night of November 1 by Sancho Merchant.
He was shot in the forehead, and bis death
has been expected daily, it being fl. matter of
surprise that he lived so loog with a wound
from which his brains oozed.
Coroner Commander was r-otified and pro?
ceeded at once to iraptnnel a jury of inquest to
take testimony and decide on the cause of
Pierson's death and whether it was a murder
or nn accident, as claimed by Merchant. On
account of the late hour the it-quest was not
completed, but after the examination of a
few witnesses the inquest was adjourned un?
til next morning at Trial Justice Wells' office
The inquest in the case of Sara Pearson was
concluded Wednesday afternoon. Six or eight
wttoesaes were examined, and, the evidence
all showing that the shooting was thc result
of the accidental discharge of Merchant's
pistol, the verdict was that Sam Pearson
came to his death from the effects of a gun?
shot wound, inflicted by the accidental dis?
charge of a pistol in the hands of Sancho
Merchant. This verdict would ordinarily be
sufficient to liberate from custody the
j accused party ; but in this case, owing to an
unusual complication, Sancho Merchant bas
not been liberated, but is still io jail. On the
d*y after Pearson was shot, bis father, War?
ren Pearson, bad a warrant issued against
Sancho Merchant, charging bim with assault
and battery with intent to kill, and on this
warrant Merchant was arrested and com?
mitted to jail. Now that the Coroner's in?
quest bas acquitted Merchant cf, dermur
j Pearson having died since the warrant was j
issued, he still stands charged with assault
and battery with intent to kill cm a dead
man, and he cannot be released until a pre-j
liminary trial* has been held and testimony
taken showing th nt there was no assault with
intent to kill. At present he is charged, in i
the warrant, with intending to kill a man
whom the corner's jury says he did not mur?
der. It is a peculiar complication tbit has
not been unravelled and is somewhat of a |
puzzle to the Trial Justice and the lawyers
interested in the case. Habeas corpus pro?
ceedings may be instituted to obtain the re- i
lease of Merchant, cr a preliminary hearing
under the warrant may be held p.ud his re
lease secured in this way. If the finexpected
should happen, and at the preliminary it
should be established that an assault with
intent to kill had been committed, then Mer?
chant would t>e horrid over for trial for as?
saulting a man, who subsfquently died from
the effects of thebault, that the jury of in?
quest says he did not kill intentionally. The
law is a mysterious thing to those outside
I the pale of the legal profession, and it seems
j that at times it puzzles even the practition?
ers. Sancho Merchant would, no doubt,
like to know where he is at, anyway, from a
legal stand roint. He is in no doubt con?
cerning his bodily whereabouts, for he is
safely and securely locked in the cage nt the
jail.
j HE HASN'T BEEN SEEN SINCE.
j Mr. Otto Garhardt Shoots a Tres?
passer.
j For several weeks Mr. Garhardt, tbe
j keeper at the cemetery, has been annoyed by
the trespassing of unknown parties and the
j cutting and carrying away of trees from the
i cemetery enclosure, and he determined to
' catch the offenders.
Last Friday morning about 3 o'clock he
heard some one cutting wood in the ceme?
tery. He got bis gun and went out to find
the fellow. He succeeded in getting within a
few feet of the man before he was discovered,
and as the thief started io run Mr. Garhardt
fired twice at him. As he shot, the negro
fell and rolled over two or three tinjcs, and
Mr. Garhardt says he "got sorry right
away,'' but the man crawled eft' among the
weeds and made his escape ; so he could not
have been wounded very badly.
Nothing has been heard of the man shot at
the cemetery by keeper Garhardt. Perhaps
the man was only playing 'possum.
Tobacco Sales.
Thursday and Friday were again big days
at the Sumter Tobacco Warehouse, over
26,000 pounds being sold at the usual big
prices. Sellers and buytrs were all well
pleased ; the former at the prices realized and
the latter at the quality of the tobacco. The
people have realized that the Tobacco Ware?
house is a permanent institution, "come to
stay." Mr. Brogdon, the manager, has his
hands foll, and is busy all the time. When
not active on the floor he is engaged in writ?
ing answers to numerous inquirers and
shipping hogsheads to all sections of the
State for tob-icco to be shipped here, graded
and sold. Hogsheads have been shipped to
Edenfield and Abbeville Counties.
Mr. James Reeve?, who lives just across the
Clarendon line, planted one acre, a share
crop with a hand, using only one sack of
acid and one of 21 per cent amraoniated
goods and stable manure. Over and aoove
all expenses of grading, handling, selling,
etc., he has netted $191.75. Let the good
work ?-j on. We notify Darlington,
Foreuce, and all the other couuties that
have warehouses, that next year they will
not be in it. Sumter is and will be the lead?

Meeting of Survivors of Palmetto
Battalion
' Editor Watchman and Southron :
ASH goodly number of the survivors of
Company "E," Palmetto Batt.lion of Light
Artillery, are residents of Sumter county and
would r.e int*Me$t??d in a brief account of a
late reunion of s?id Company, I i eg to sub?
mit fur your columns the minutes of said re?
union, with a few additional remarks:
MINUTES
"At a reunion o? C mpany "E,': Palmetto
Battalion cf Lit?ht Artil er\, held on Novem?
ber tie S'h, 189% at Elim church, Florence!
count), the meeting was organized by
electing Lieut. W D. Scarborough to the
chair, and Sergt. W. P. Askins as secty. An
incomplete roil ot the Company was called.
Twenty survivors were present, and it was
ase .ained that there were 75 survivors of
. 160 names on the old Company roll.
. -at of the commissioned officer?, Capt. J.
D.Johnson and Jr. 2nd Lieut. R M. Ander?
son, were dead ; Sr. 1st Lieut. Culpeper waa
in Tens when last bearr* om, and it was
not known whether or not he was surviving ;
Sr. ?nd Lieut. W. D. Scarborough was
therefore the only known surviving com?
missioned officer of the Company.
After some discussion as to the propriety
and desirability of organizing a camp of the
survivors of Company "E," P. B. L. A., for
the purpose of perpetuating the old Company
organization, it was
Resolved, That we, the surviving members
of Company "E," P. B L A , of the late
Confedeiate war, enroll our names and or?
ganize a camp of Ex-Confederate Soldiers
for the purpose of perpetuating the old Com?
pany organization, ?Rd for sociil and benev?
olent purposes.
On motion, a partial organization of the
camp was effected, resulting in the election
of Lieut. W. D. Scarborough, Commander;
Sergt. W. P. Askins, Lieut Commander,
and Private Frank Carter, Adjutant After
organization it was
Resolved, That the officers of this camp
shall select a place for meeting and call a
meeting of this camp about the last of Au?
gust next, for the purpose of completing the
organization, naming the camp, kc.
Resolved, further, That we, the enrolled
members of this camp, pledge ourselves to
meet when called together, if not providen?
tially hindered, and to use our best efforts to
get the enrollment of names, and the attend?
ance of every surviving member of old Co.
"E" P. B L A.
On motion camp adjourned, subject to call
in accordance with above resolution."
It is needless to say that the meeting was
one of much gratification and pleasure to all
comrades present. Many amusing war inci?
dents, and ludicrous jokes, ag well as sad
incidents of the eod of fallen comrades were
rehearsed atid revived io memory. Notably,
was recalled and discussed the sad end of
private "Joe Ardis," a true and typical sol?
dier, respected and honored by the entire
command, and who, after many hardships
and dangers, was shot down, mortally
wounded by the side of bis commanding
officers Lieut. Scarborough and Corp E. A.
?'White, in the last battle of Johnson's Army,
at Bentonville, N. C., they, together with
two of Capt. Lancaster's Company, being
the last to retreat from line of battle after
failing to capture a Yankee battery of ten
guns, which the brigade was ordered to take.
In this battle were displayed by several pri?
vates of Co. "E" ss much cool bravery,
purpose of duty and patriotism, as ever was,
or could be displayed by any of the far
famed and justly renowned generals of the
Confedeate War. Among this number was
lamented Joe Ardis, to whose memory men?
tion of the incident is made, and intended as
a brief, but merited tribute. COMRADE

The Mount Lebanon Shakers recently per- j
formed a great deed of charity, although it :
was not designed as a charity, being nothing j
more nor less than an advertising scheme. ItJ
however resulted in great good just the same. j
They gave away 1,000 bottles of their Digest- j
ive Cordial to those suffering from stomach
derangements.
It was so effec ive in curing those who used j
the remedy that they are loud in their praises I
of it and in consequence a large demand for !
the cordial was at once created.
The druggists of this town have little ;
books that tell all about it. Digestive
Cordial creates an appetite, aids digestion
and brings about a rapid increase in flesh
and strength.
