Fawley's Island as a Summer Resort. OD the coast of South Carolina, dis taut about fifteen miles from the port of Georgetown, lies "Pawley's Isl and." The name comes from the family to whom it formerly belonged. Since the day of the ' Old Sooth" the delights of the place have been weil known and appieciated : and many of the Planters of Waccamew, elsewhere, spend their summers there. The island is about three or four miles long, running parallel with the coast; N. E. & S. W. Leaving tb beach, which is remarkable for its breadth and beauty, we find a belt - of sand hills like a minature range Behind these hills we find a bel ; of !ow,8tordy water oak, cedar and ra ag nolia trees, with tangled mass cf vines and other plants The growth is varied and luxuriant' show* ing the fertility of the soil. Here the woodbine flaunts its crimson trumpet, and great pink morning glories nod in the breeze, lt is among the trees we find the Douses of he islanders, sheltered by the i hills and releaved of the dare by the trees, for the son shiming on the "silver sands'; is trying to the eyes On the land side, defining the back beach, rans to the road, and then comes the salt creeks and marsh iying between the island and the mainland. The bridges and cause ways connecting the island with the main, lie at either end of the island The new steamer, "Col. William Elliott," now almost ready for the work, will mean a great deal for Pawley's, for its one draw back was the primitive way of reaching ,4t. The tri-weekly boat, via Waverly, leaves Georgetown every Monday, Wednesday and Friday at 8 a. m., and returning about 1.30 p m every Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday. The distance from Georgetown to Waverly is fifteen miles. Hacks and baggage wagons always meet the boats, and convey the passengers and belongings over to the islands, a pleasant drive of four mHes. Very often parties charter a launch which neets the train, taking them directly over. This is much preferable, as a stop over is not necessory, and the cost merely nominal. The trip from town to the beach usually takes about two hours' Excursion boats are run on Saturday's and Sunday, which gives the business men an opportunity of a days recreation ~ Most of the houses on the island are owned and occupied during tlc season by private individuals, but there are two commodious hotels. Pawley's Island hotel, run by Mrs Withrop Villiams, and the W iuyah Cottages, whose Gnarming hostess, Mrs . Butler of Georgetown, is extensively known, so there is no trouble about obtaining board. If a party or family prefer to take a house for the season they should be in time, for the several booses and cottages for rent are nearly filled. Even in April one hears the expres sion, "Not a vacant house on Paw ley's this summer." The houses are delightfully cool and airy, large, wide doors and windows, high ceil ings and targe rooms conveniently arranged Now we have found the place, learned how to reach it, selected onr place of residence ; what will we find, and what shall we do ? One of the greatest conveniences of the place is the total absence cf mos quitos, a very remarkable fact, and one which the writer cannot explain If by a gross neglect of nature's law, or by any mischance one of us should fall ill, it only takes a few minutes to call up by telephone any of the physicians and drug stores in George town ; but tbis is not likely to i happen There is an Episcopal church just across the upper bridge on tho maio, whose rector, Rev L F Guerry, with his charming family, spends the summers on the island. Occasionally minister of other denominations hold services Fishing and shooting will naturally come first with the gentlemen when we discuss the sports to be bad Plenty of fishing by going "Outside," that is four miles off shore, in a small boat early io the morning, or in the creeks, where the fioest whiting, drum, bass and sbeephead are caught. The shooting of marsh hens on high tide is enjoyed by many. Then there is crabing, amusing the old and young alike, but especially the children But the be?t of al! is the surf bathing ; perfectly delightful is this ! The beach is broad and fiat ; so gentle is the slope that one can easily get beyond the breakers, and not have the water uncomfortably near the chin. And how in vigora t- j ing, and wbat fun to sport among the green waves ! The beach is clean and as quicksands are unknown, bathers have a secure footing The dreaded undertow is very rareiy felt, and then only in disagreeable weather on the outgoing tide. No one bas ever been harmed by any of the denizens of the deep off this beach, in fact, one never sees any- j thing more dangerous than a delicate whiting or a harmless porpoise. If! one does not care for bathing, and j every one does not, what is more j pleasant than to rest in a comforable ! hammock with a good book on the shady veranda, or to watch the others 89 they enjoy the bath. And last, j but not least, when the stern god of! i day bas sank frocv eight below the ! western horizon, leaving hia path all ? glowing with crimson, purple and j gold, we turn from tbe contemplation of the magnificent sunset and where fair Luna lifts herself with all ber majestic beauty, seemingly dripping from the waves and sheds her silvery iustre o'er "mountain, grove and sea," we stand in awe at the might' ness and majesty of it all It is now that the promenade on the splendid beach is unsurpassed. If you are fatigued it will be even more pleasant to sit on the tops of the hills and drink in the life giviBg breezes, as the moonbeams glint on the water, and the restless God of ocean tosses his hoary mane at your feet. There is always dancing during the season ; "oysters roasts," and jolly frolics they are ; bicycling and driving for those who are disposed to be gay. A delightful drive is that to the upper end of the island, where the treasures of the deep are deposit ed, and many beautiful shells may be gathered. One can not find a more quiet, Hvely and rest {ul, and at the same time more invigorating place, to spend a vacation. "A Sojourner" --i i i mm . At the time of tbe failure of Mr. Piookoey io Charleston a few years ago the Farmers Mining oompaoy went down ia the crash. The court appoint ed Mr. Wm. E Hager receiver, and into his bands went ali the assets of the company. The company at the time was 3ae the State $2,43*0 85 in royalty OD phosphate rook ; this amount has been tied up ever since. Yesterday Attorney General Bellinger stated that tbe amount bad at iast been paid into the State treasury. Society News in London. ! All the personal paragraphs and society news that appears in the London papers is paid for except that which is relative to the royal family, the nobility and the diplomatic corps. If an ordinary citizen gives a bali or marries off his daughter or entertains the Prince of Wales at dinner he is compelled to pay for his glory M rs. Johu W. Mackay, Mr. William Wal dori Astor and other persons, native or foreign, in London society, pay for every notice they receive in the newspapers. Sometimes the report of a ball or a wedding costs $300 Gr $400 for every newspaper it appears in The following standing an nouncement concerning what is known as the "agency coiumn" will be found in the London papers : "All society, personal and fashion able paragraphs, except those reiat ing to royalty and official incidents, will be charged for at a minimun rate of one guinea for two lines, each succeeding line ten shillings and sixpence additional." Therefore, when any of our friends in London seDd you a copy of an English newapaper containing a personal notice you may understand it has been paid for. -^ *'A Biblical student ia this city," says the Washington correspondent of The Chicago Kecord, "declares that if the descriptions of Solomon's Temple are accurately given in the Bible and by secular authorities, the total value of that edifico and its contents must I have exceeded $50,000,000,000. In j the first place, the value of the mate rials io the rough is estimated at $12.500.000,000, and tse labor at $2,000,000.000. Acoording to Viiial j pandis 10,000 men were engaged in dressing cedar lumber. 80.000 were engaged in cutting stone and 60,000, { 000 ia bearing burdens, for a period of seven years, who, in addition to their wages, received 50 cents a day for food. According to the same authority, which is corroborated by Josephu?, the vessels of gold were valued at 140,000 talents, which, reduced to American money, is equal to $2.326.481,015. The vessels of silver are calculated at $3.231,715,000, the vestments of the priests and the robes of the singers at $10.050,000, and the value of the trumpets of gold was $10,000,000." | Mothers, we call your attention to Pitts' Carminative.

Superintendent of the primping s?a tioD cf the Sumter Water Works, oar Sumter correspondent reports, ii author ity for the statement of the curious fact that the water level io the wells from which the water supply is obtained "has riseo more than two feet within the past mont'h," in face of the long continued drought and dsficient rainfall cf the past three months. The wells, it is explained,' are eight io sumner, and each is six inob.es io diameter and about forty feet deep "The water riles ordinarily to within eight feet cf the surface of the ground, and the supply is inexhaustible." On one occasion a half million gallons wers pumped from these wells within twenty four hours, without appreciable effect oo the supply, and without towering the water more than a few inches at any time, although the pumps were driven at utmost speed. "In addition to the abundant supply, the water is as nearly chemically and absolutely pure as can be found anywhere " The description of the quality and supply of the water strongly indicates, of course, that it is of artesian origin ; bat this docs not explain the strange behavior of the water in rising two feet, in a tine of drought. Even if it be assumed that the supply is drawn from the bili and mountain regions north and northwest of Sumter, and that its source is, therefore, tar from the wells, the drought has been as severe and as long continued in those regions, we believe, as about Sumter, and the question remains, where does the extra supply come from ? Tbs answer would not be made any the easier by assuming that the welis penetrated a subterranean lake or pDod, unless it be further assumed that some kind ot slow seismic disturbance is producing an apward pressure of the bottom of the cietern, and we hesitate to make such an explica tion lightly. We cannot account for tee phenomenon, io ehort, and cheerfully pass it on to more imaginative or less reserved scientists. Besides, the scientific aspeot of the situation is o mere secondary conse quence. We are more interested io the practical one, and the practical one is that the town of Sumter is certainly to be congratulated on baviDg such wells at i's command. An inexhaustible supply of "absolutely pure" water, obtainable by boring a few weife, only 40 feet, or less io depth is an inesti mable treasure for any community in the country, even if the water be em ployed only for the ordinary purposes of the comaiuoiiy. Philadelphia or New York, or any other large city in the country would gladly pay several million dollars for such a supply at its doors, and Somter can, therefore, reckon its wealth as enhanced by so much. The suppiy, if really .or practica- y "inexhaustible/' however, is worth far more to the community which possesses it than is represented by its value for domestic and strictly munici pal ase* alone. River water and plenty of it is an essential of many kinds of manufacturing processes, as the bleach ing of cotton cloth, the making of starch, for instance, and wi1 h such water obtainable from a depth of only six or eight feet or a little more, Sum ter should be able to induce the estab lishment of large and important bleach eries, starch factories, etc , etc., within its territory without difficulty or delay. And it should be able to do even more than that The command of a ready and abun dant supply of water, of good quality, and obeapiy obtainable by means of pumping slants, is an invaluable adjunct to Hrmtos and fruit growing operations. ' it makes the community which is so favored independent of droughts and defioieot rainfalls aa far as the supply can be employed for irrigating purposes, and it can be em ployed, as bas been proved by agricul turists in other parts of the country co hilly and level lands alike. If tho people of Sumter town, therefore, will sink more wells and train the water from them over their fields and orchards and meadows, they, will make the environs of the town not only "to blossom like a rose,7' but to fruit like a Le Coate pear tree, or Carter's oats, and will make their own home the garden spot of the State iu a few years, and if the same conditions exist throughout the county that exist in or near the town in respeot of so free water supply, the oounty can be made to share the happy estate of the town. Shallow, inexhaustible wells of good water, in short, are very much in the nature of gold mines in ibis day and country, and, having discovered such sources of wealth tn their district, the people of Sumter should u-ake the most of them.

Atlanta, Ga., July 27 -The Consti tution, ins received a special from its CoviogtOD, Ga , correspondent which says that a mob of 50 masked men made away with three Mormon elders who have been proselyting in Jasper County Thc story is to the effect that the three elders visited the home cf William Cuooard near Newton factory, Jasper County, yesterday and endeavor ed to persuade Mrs. Cunnard to joio the church. While they were at the Coonara home. 50 men masked and on horseback cams np and asked the elders to accompany them. They refused to do so and while they were parleying Mr. Cuooard procured a rifle and aided the mob tn taking the Mormons Several e hots ere exchanged and ic the excitement Mrs. Ccncard bad ber jaw shattered. The mob finally secured the eiders and /ode off with them. Nothing has been seen of them since. The elders were driveo oat of two towDS in Jasper County early io the week. The Mormon Elders Safe. Atlanta, July 28.-A speoial to The Jooroal from Jackson, Ga , says the three Mormon elders who were taken away from the home of Wm. CunDard of Newton factory, io Jasper County, Wednesday night, escaped from the mob while crossing a creek in that couoty and are DOW eafe near Jaokeoo, They are suffering from maoy bruises and injuries sustained in a fight with their captors. They swam down the creek, hotly pursued by the mob, finally escaping their through the country to the home of friends From there they sent for some clothes. They tell a thrilling story of their experi ence. It is not thought here that the mob intended to lynch the MormoDS but was bent on escorting them cut of the country Mrs. Cucuard. a portion or whose jaw was shot away io the fight between thc mob and her husband is badly weuuded.
