counts of its good works ; of the aggravating
and persistent coughs it bes cored ; of seTere
colds that have yielded promptly to its sooth
ing effects, and of the dangerous attacks of
croup it bas cured, often saving the life of
the child. The extensive use of it for whoop
ing cough bas shown that it robs that disease
of all dangerous consequences. It is espe
cially prized by mothers for their children,
as it never fails to effect a speedy cure, and
because they have found that there is not
the least danger in giving it, even to babies,
as it contains nothing injorions. Sold by Dr.

We pc.biish an advertisement of Kodol

and wish to sa? to our patrons that we be
lieve this preparation is worthy of a trial by
any person suffering from this agonizing
complaint. We honestly believe this prepa
ration will do for you ail the manufacturers
claim for it. Kcdol Dyspepsia Core is pre
pared by the weil known an reliable firm of
fi. C. DeWitt & Co., Chicago, and from our
long experience in a business sense, with this
firm as advertisers, we feel safe in saying that
they would not place on the market a prepa
ration for the enre of Dyspepsia unless they
bad a remedy of the highest merit, and con
scientiously believed it would core tbis well
known and almost universal complaint.
We further add that if this preparation ia
equal to the other weil known remedies
wbich they make, viz : DeWitt's Little Early
Risers, DeWitt's Witch Hazel Salve, and One
Minute Cough Cure, it will speedily win its
way into public favor.
We cheerfully and heartily give our per

THE COTTON COMPRESS.
Sufficient Stock Subscribed to In
sure Establishment.
Mr. Henry J Harby, of the firm of Barby
k Co., who bas been the moving spirit io tbe
effort to organize a company for tbe purpose
of establishing a cotton compress in this city,
informed us several days ago that the
compress will be ready to bandle this year's
crop. All subscriptions necessary to ioEore
the organization of the Compress company
with a capital of $12,000 or. $15,000 have
been pledged, and tbs company will be
chartered and organized witbio the next few
weeks Tbe compress will have a capacity of
500 to 700 bales per day and will be equipped
with most improved and best appliances for
compressing and handling the cotton. It
will be located convenient to both railroads,
and the compressed cotton will be loaded
direct from the platform into he cars
The establishment of the compress means a
great deal for Sumter, and it ia the greatest
stride forward that has been made in five
years. Tue receipts of cotton will be larger
this year than for a number of years, and the
trade of the town will be correspondingly
increased. Sumter wwi be a better cotton
market and cotton that now goes elsewhere
will bs attracted to Sumter by the nigher
prices that 'be compress will enable the
boyera to pay.

A JAIL DELIVERY.
_
Jailor Windham Gives Prisoners
Freedom of Corridor-They
Knock Hole in Jail Wall
and Escape.
While Jailor Windham was at church SUD
day three of the roar prisoners confined io
the jail picked a hole in i be brick wall and
mada their escape. The fourth prisoner,
Tons Taylor, who is kept in jail, nnder a life
sentence in the penitentiary, pending an ap
peal to the supreme conrt, did riot join bis
fellow prisoners in their break for liberty, and
from bim the particulars of the escape were
ascertained.
The three daring jail breakers were Daniel
Koines, who is charged with burglary and
larceny ; Zeke White, charged with obtain
ing gooda under false pretences ; Jack
Hanks, a Clarendon county prisoner, charged
with larceoy of live etock
Zeke White was the ring leader of the jail
breakers, and, according to the statement of
Tom Taylor, had been laying bis plans for
escape for several days. On Friday last be
told the other prisoners ibat if they would
aid him they could all escape. Helmes and
Hanks assented, but Taylor says ba told bim
be preferred to stay in jail and stand trial
again.
Sunday morning Jailor Windham released
the prisoners from the cage cells and allowed
them the freedom of the corridor sorround
I ing the cages.
White and his accomplices first hung a
blarkst out of the corridor window to con
ceal them while at work ; then they opened
the window casing and removed the sash
weight, a bar of iron about two feet in
length and weighing about seventy pounds.
Using this weight as a crowbar they prized
and knocked out the bricks jest below the
window sill until a bole was made in the wail
large enough for a mao to pass through.
Crawling through this bole, which was con
cealed on tee outside by a blanket, tbey
dropped to the ground, a distance of only
six or sevea feet. They then easily scaled
the jail yard fence and made their etcape. An
iron spoon that bad been carelessly left in tbs
corridor some days before, was used as a
screw driver, and with tbat the caeiug.was
opened in order to get to the sash weights.
Jailor Windham returned from church in
time to see one of tbe negroes disappearing
around tbs corner of tbe jail equare, but wan
unable to stop bis flight.
Taylor gave the alarm abont the time of
Jailor Windham's return to the jail, bu:
after the other prisoners bad made their
escape. He claims that be was asleep and
did not wake until the others bad escaped
from the jail, bot that be gave tbe alarm ai
soon as be discovered that they bad escaped.
Deputy Sheriff Gaillard and jailer Wind
ham set out in pursuit of the escaped prison
era as soon as possible, but although they
searched indefatigably all the afternon no
trace of them could be foo nd. Deputy Sherill
Gaillard says that he could not find out
which direction they took and the attempt to
capture them without bloodhounds was like
searching for a needle in a haystack. The
escaped criminals undoubtedly bad friends
among the negroes, and have bad assistance
in covering their flight and eluding capture.
Sheriff Pierson will make every effort to
recapture the three jail breakers, but with
tfce lead they have already obtained the
chances are in their favor.
If the county had a pair of well-trained
blood-bounds the capture of the jail breakers
would have been aa easy matter, for the trail
ws5 still bot wheo the escape was discovered.
