Butler, Fairbaveo, Cono. Persans who ar
ent ject to bilious colic can ward off the at
tack by taking this remedy as soon as tb
ret symptoms appear. Sold by Dr. A. J

2, Wioo Building.
In tbe event that the reported defeat of the
movement to establish Salem County has
beea defeated at tbe ballot box proves true,
tbe matter will be settled for several years,
as it will be necessary to get op another pe
tition and order another election, and this,
uoder tbe law. cacoot be done until a certain
period bas elapsed. It is not to be supposed
that the people who have for so many years
persisted in working for a new couoty and
have spent a large amount of money at one
time and another in having tbe surveys
made, will purmanently give up hope of suc
ceeding in their endeavor. Smaller counties
are inevitable in Seutb Carolina, and sooner
or hter a number of them will be carved out
of tbe old counties. Sumter is ftoo large a
couoty to remain intact for any great length
of time, aod if Salem County is oot ultimate
ly formed, some portioo of Sumter Couoty
will be cut off to form a new county.
The old frame building on Liberty street,
until recently occupied by the Watchman and
Southron has beea taken dowo. This
building is one of tbe o?d bou-es of the place
and was for many years the law office of
Capt Fraok Sumter. The building was
erected by Capt Sumter for bis owd use io
1848, soon after his returo from the Mexicao
War, io'wbich be served with distinction as
Captain o/ Company A in the famous Pal
metto R'gimeot. Captain Sumter made the
bouse his home as well as law office, a&d
some of the older rxen among tbe citizens of
the place who knew Capt. Sumter well and
were atLong his intimates, tell very interest
ing stories of tbe pleasant and convivial
nights spent io tbe old office. There were
some rare spirits in Somterville in those days,
aod wbeD they gathered around the fire
place in Capt. Sumter's office on a winter's
evening they are said to bave bad .rare good
times. It is oot often that one of them can
be induced to stir the embers of the past and
recall memories that have grown dim with
the passing decadee, but when they ones be
gio relatiog reminiscences, tbe younger gen
eration gather around and listen with bated
brtatb, and tbey oft-times whisper aside, so as
not to disturb the story teller: "And there
were giants in those days!" During the five
years that the writer bad his sanctum io tbe
old Sumter office, cn numerous occasions
some of the older citizens, who dropped in,
were impelled to talk of tbe past and
he wa* privileged to hear many of
the stories, anecdotes and incidents that made
up tbe life of Sumter?when it was written
oa tbe map Sumterville, more lhao forty years
ago. Tbe old buildinpr will itself soon be
but a memory, and with the passing of the
few who remember Frank Sumter, tbe gal
lant Captain of Company A and tbe genial
convivier, a character who for 3 ears filled i
a large place in the public eve of Sumter,
will have passed into history, or rtither into
oblivioo for, unfortunately, the South writes
no history. The ?South h?s been too busy
making history to have time to record ir, <
that is left to the writers of the North, who
pursue the culling of book making as com
merci? ? vocation, ahd, to make it profitable,
take care to write nothing that will offend .
their close neighbors.

Mr. Rowland complained of the crowd of
loafers that congregate on the depot plat
form on the arrivi f every passenger train,
and annoy and luconvenience passengers.
Mr Rowland asked for better police arrange
ments a^d a more rigid enforcement of the
law. Mayor Bosaard appointed a special
committee consisting of Aldermen Monaghan
and Fraser, to prepare an ordit-ance to meet
tbe requirements of the-case.
Alderman Monaghan brought to the atteo
t'on of Council that ih? cotton platform'on
Manning Avenue obstructed the view and
made it dangerous for persons to cross tbe
railroad track on Manning Avenue while
shifting is going.on in the depot yard This
matter was also referred to the special com
mittee.

The Baby Show.
Tbe Dtlgar Reel Squad Bazaar will be held
on the even:ngs of December 3d and 4th, and
tbe Baby Show will beheld on the afternoon of
the 4tb Tbe Baby Show is creating more
talk than any other feature of the Delgar en
tertainment and unless th* other committees
bestir themselves the Baby Show crowd will
win all tbe laurels. All the babies in town
are invited to attend tbe show, and tbe baby
that is adjudged tbe finest and prettiest will
be awarded a handsome prize. The judges
have not bees selected yet, but it is a settled
fact that a committee will he gotten together
that will know all about judging babies.
Tbey will take into coasideratioo beauty,
strength of longs, color of hair, melodious
ness of votce, number of leetb, baldness of
head, size of feet, number of dimples, size
and color cf eyes, siz; of eure, crying record
and such other little points that, taken alto
gether, enter into tbe make-up of one of those
earthly cherubs known in common parlnace
as babies. There are babies and babies in
Sumter? as all who hare had to dodge around
baby carriages on the sidewalk know full
well?and out of this multitude of sleep dis
turbers there should be at least 187^ perfect
darling beauties (an old bsche'or, quite well
known for his popularity with all
the girls ? toddlers, frying size and
those of that elder class, so much
given to curling tongs, aod maidenly
meditation, i. e fond recollections of tbe
spring time of youth?alas, for the days that
are uo more !?this old fello w, bimselfa left
over from the days of yore, estimates that
there are in the city of Sumter exactly
188 babies between tbe ages of one week
and two year3 ) Therefore, accepting this
estimate as correct, and it muet be, for this
baby census taker is a very accurate individ
ual, it will be seen that v.he remark that j
there will be no more than 137 perfect beau
ties tod inevitable prize winners ?3 well
within the bounds of probabilities. The
task of the judges wiil be very easy and tbey
will have the mo3t unprecedented opportunity
of making life long friends.
The Baby Show will be a ??eat thing and
ail tbe babies in town ought to be in it. If
tbey had a say so in the matter there would ?
he no doubt about it, for there is not a
youngster in town that is no: a zealous and :
enthusiastic fire department innisan.
Of course the writer is not a judge of such
matters and it is none of his busiuess, but he !
would, nevertheless, and in violation of all |
the customs and precedents, like to nominate :
for chairman of the judgts committee that ?
same old bachelor who knows so ucl) about
babies?even to the exuct number in town,
That Baby Show is the proper thing, and ;
it went do to forget it.

Mr. Moseley's Lecture on Mexico.
Rev R Moseiey, who will lecture :n the
Baptist church on Thursday night 00 "Mexi
co, the country, the people *od the religion,"
?served for several ye?rs as a Baptist Mis
sionary at Saltillo, Mexico, where be was also
president of a school for boys aod girls. The
growth of Baptist doctrines was ;? marked,
the school became so popular, and the church
was so well attended, that opposition at last
arose against Mr. Moseiey as the most active
among the Baptist leaders An utterance of
his in a sermon was declared to be treason
Thereupon be was set upon, and repeated
efforts were made to take bis life To save
him from the wrath of the fanatical so-called
religionists, the city authorities found it nec
essary to lock him up io tbe public jail, and
place guards around the building. Here be
remained for some days, until his friends
were ar?le to remove him from the city by
stealth. He returned to the United States,
and has not been able to return to Mexico.
Mr Moseiey will relate bis experience dur
ing the time of persecution, and wilt recite the
incidents connected with his speech, for which
he was jailed.
The lecture will begin at.8 m. A.l in
