"It is a surprising fact," says Prof. Hou
ton, "that in my travels io all parts of the
world, for tbe last ten years, I have met more
people having used Green's Aogast Plower
than aoy other remedy, for dyspepsia, de?
ranged liver and stomach, and for constipa?
tion. I find for tourists and salesmen, or for
persons filliog office positions, where head?
aches and general bad feelings from irregular
habits exist, that Greek's August Flower i3 a
grand remedy. It does not injure thc system
by frequent use, and is excellent for sour

THREATENED RIOT.
Negrees cf PiaPwood Make Serious
Threats.
; Since Saturday afternoon soon after tho
killing of Lewis Burgess at Pinewood b>
Conductor Horsey, rumors have been rif?
that tue negroes of tbe Pinewood section
were ciakicg threats against the white peo?
ple of that town and serious trouble was
feared Soon after the kiding a crowd of
negroes gathered at Pinewood and for several
hours there was great excitement and uneasi?
ness, for it was feared the negroes would be
rash enough to attempt tc take Horsey from
the rragistrate and lynch him. The negroes
made V-stful threats during the afternoon,
but rx no effort to carry them cut, aid by
night the crowd srattered. The excitement
has never entirely ?ubsided, and the negroes
have cootioned making threats against the
white men who took care of Conductor Hor?
sey wbile he was io Pinewood, lt was
thought beat to bs prepared for any contin?
gency, and Gov McSweeney was appealed to
rifles and ammunition, but as there was no
legal authorization for bim to torn over
State arms to private individuals, the request
of the Pinewood people was not complied
with.
GOT. McSweeney wired Sheri? Bradbam
directing bim to go to Pinewood with a
pass?e if necessary. The following telegram
was sent to Pinewood :
To ? L. Burkett, Intendant, Pinewood,
S C.:
Wire governor at once if there ts danger of
oegro uprising and if yoo need assistance.
? Elbert E. Aull,
Private Secretary.
Bot the people of Pinewood were hot th?
kind to sit down and wait for the trouble to
begin before preparing for it, so when they
failed to secare arms from Colombia, they
seot two men to this city on the 6 o'clock
train last evening, and they secored 25 rifles
and ao abundant eupply of sim teeni; ion, H nd
returned to Pinewood oo the 6 30 local
freight
The persis:ent rnmcrs of an impending
riot and the parchase of ammunition last
evening had orepared the people of tht3 city
to expect an outbreak, and when the follow?
ing telegram was received there was great
excitement :
Colnirbift, Jan 9, 1990.
Capt. W L. Lee,
Hold your compiny in readiness to be or?
dered nt moment's notice to Pinewood. An?
swer. (Signed)
J, W Floyd,
Aojt. G?o. S C.
The company was called out at once, acd
in 45 minutes from the time the order was
issued the company was ready to go to Pine?
wood The Columbia State says of the
prompt response of the Somter Light In?
fantry (Co H):
' The order to Co. H , Capt. Lee, at Sum?
ter, met with perhaps the quickest response to
3uch a call that has ever been made by a
militia company. Io 45 minutes after the
order was telegraphed Capt. Lee wired to the
adjatant-g'neral that Co H. was ready to
move and wa3 awaiting further orders."
About the sace time, however, tb? govern?
or got a message from the intendant to Pine?
wood stating that the sheriff fcai arrived
there and w;>s master of tire situation.
An order was the-? sent to Capt Lee cot to
hold his cora cany in r'^e trmory ; that its
service would not be needed.
The members of the company, ce?ertbe
less, remained at the armory until 9 o'clock
and were then dismissed by Capt. Lee with
orders to bold themselves in readiness to be
cal!ed out at any hoar of the night.
At a late hour last night everything was
quiet at Pinewood, and the whites do not
now anticipate trouble nor fear the issue if
the lawless negroes provoke a conflict, for
.h y are well armed with repeating rifles aod
carbines secured in this city and have a big
supply of ammunition. They are able to
take care of themselves, and there is no far?
ther fear of a riot.
Capt Horsey, through bis attorney, Mr
R O Purdy, applied to Judge Bucbaoao
yesterday for bail, which was granted io the
enm of $2,000, and Mr Horsey was released.

KILLING AT PINEWOOD.
CONDUCTOR HUSSEY KILLS A
TRAIN HAND.
Conductor F. H Horsey, conductor on the
I local freight train from Deoraark to Sumter,
j shot and killed a negro train iv.nd while at
Pinewood on last Saturday The name of
tba negro is said to be Lewis Burges*, and
tbe circumstances of tho kiliio[r have neea re?
ported ?s follows: Burges* bid a difficulty
of some kind with C-pt. Hersey, for which
he was discbargfd and ordered not to get neck
ou tbe tra-a. He persisted in getting on the
I train, and being warned at the peril of his
! life not to attempt to do so, told C;pt Hur
; sey he would have bim to kill and proceeded
! to board tbe train, whereupon Capt. Hursey
shot bim.
Capt Hursey was arrested and detained at
Pinewood u a til the inquest could te held, and
tba train was brought on to this city by Ur.

The Pmdwood Homicide
Tbe body of Lewis Burgess, colored, who
was killed at Pinewood saturday afternooo
by Conductor Hursey, was brought to the
city Sunday afternoon and turned over to bis
family. There was a large crowd of negroes
at the depot when the body arrived, and they
became intensely excited by the cries and
wails of the women of Burgess' family. One
or two negro men bad a good deal to say
about tbe killing, and suggested that Hursey
should be lynched. No overt act was com*
muted, but tbe policeman at the depot, fear?
ing trouble, as Conductor Horsey came in
from Pinewood oo the same train with Bur?
gess' body, sent for Chief Bradford. The
presence of the policemen soon quieted the
excited crowd, , and the negroes eooo dis?
persed. The following accooct of the ioqnest
ts takeo from the Pinewood correspondent in
The State:
Pinewood, Jan. 7 -The coroner's jury
after hearing the testimony of a number of
eye witnesses to the sbootiog of Lewis
Burgess by Conductor Hursey at ibis place
yesterday rendered a verdict that Burgess
came to his death as tbe result of a shot fired
by Mr. Hursey The jury did not state
whether the shooting was fe.ooious or wheth?
er it was justifiable.
The impression wes pretty general that it
would be a verdict of justifiable homicide,
out it is understood that the two negro jarors
ocjected to bringing in this form of a verdict
come feeling bas been manifested during the
day by the negroes, but nothing serious is
feared. Mr Horsey has been pent lo Man
ning under arrest, and will immediately ap?
ply for bail through bis attorney, Mr. R. O
Purdy, who was presset today.

THE BOND ISSUE.
Election cannot ba Ordered by
Resolution of Council.
The election to determine whether the city
shall issue bonds to roacad<miz& Mam and
Liberty streets, which City Couocil authorizid
the Mayor to order, wiil Dave to ne postponed
until certain constitutional provisions shall
hive been complied with.
The preliminary step toward an election of
this kicid must be a petition signed by a ma?
jority of the freeholders of the city asking
the city council to order such an election.
On presentment of such a petition the city
council ?3 required to order the election, and,
ir amsjjrityof the qcali6ed electors voting
in said election shall ravor the issue of bonds,
it becomes the duty of the City Council to
is?ue the epeeified cumber cf bonds
The bend issue to provide funds for mac
adaiizirg the streets is in the s*me coudis
..ion as if ihe City Couaci! had ? ever consid?
ered themaiter at all. Until the petition a
Sigued ny a majority cf the freeholders is
required oy the Slate constitution tbe hands
of tbe City Council are tied and nothing can
oe done toward ordering the election. Tte
advocates of thc bona i^eue rv il I have rn
uest.r themselves, get OJ tte petition hud
preset it to the council if they sail f-Vur
the bond ;33ae acd desire an election.
There is another constitutional proTision
in reference to municipal oor.d issues that th
pub?c sbocid consider before the election i3
he-Id. The constitution requires that when
oonds are issued a sinking fund ?hall be
created by setting aside a sufficient aura to
accumulate a fund to pay the bonds ia full at
maturity. This requirement wi!i make the
Durden imposed by a bond issue greater than
was apparent at a first glance, fer the annual
payment into tbe sinking fund will be just
that much greater sum to be raised by tsxa
t lion in addition to the interest on the bonds

The R. E Food for 1899 bas been dis?
tributed and the shareholders who have been

to say that the number of shares to be takeo
in the Fund for 19C0 will be larger than ever
before. The R E. Fund is not a money?
making institution, no one bas eveo ad
vanced ibis claim, but it is tbe simplest aod
best plan for saving money that we koow of.
The first paymeot oo the 1900 Fund is doe
aod payable at the Bank of Sumter tomor?
row, and only those who apply for member?
ship and make the first payment tomorrow
are eligible fer membership The minimum is
one share of stock, on which one aollar must
be paid each week, but one acd a balf shares,
two shares or any larger number of shares
may be taken and the weekly paymeot is at
the Srime rate-one collar per share a week.
If the weekly payment ?s not made befors the
close ot the banking hours on Saturday, a
fine of fifty per ceat ?3 imposed, and unless all
