?Jitor Watchman eod Southron :
Please allow ne to make a statement
through your columns io regard to s piece
published io your lest isaoe io reference
to tbe turning over of the office of Gouotj
Sooervisor. I do not koow who ii tbe
author of tbe article, bat it eontaioe state?
ments that are untrue Tbe statement tbat
Mr Seale came to me several times after be
got bis commission, for tbe office to be turned
ore: is untrue Tbe statement that I con?
tinded to bold on to tbe office until April
is also untrue Tbesa are ibe facts io tbe
case; IIr.,Seale came to me io Sumter some
time io No tember after the general election
sod asked me when could I tnrn tbs office
oter to hits. I replied, saying tbat tbe cffice
wee turned over to me on January 1st,
eod I would do likewise as I bad given bond
up to tbat time. When this conversation
took place 41 r Seele bad oot given bond.
Tbe next I beard from Mr Seale wee wbeo be
appeared before tbe County Board at oar
regular meeting Dec 4th and appealed to tbe
Oouotj Board io reference to turning over
the office eod rsbeaned tbe conversation we
bad In November, eod asked me egaln wben
would I turn tbe office over. I replied as I
did before, January 1st. Mr. Seale bad not
given bond jet. On tbe lOtb of Deo. Mr
Seale wee io possession of bis bond, end e
majority of tbe County Board belog in Sum?
ter oo tbat daj did get together end approve

11th Dec. 1 told Mr. Seale that there had to
be e toroing over and en inventory tekeo of
what connty property I bad on band. Mr
Seele asked me bow much time I wanted.
1 replied until Jannery 1st. 1 did not coo
tend to bold over uotll April, did not one
time entertein any sosb en idee. I did coo
teed to bold until January Ut for tbe reasoo
tbat the law distinctly says "that there shsll
be eo elestioo for tbs office of Ooooty Super?
visor every two years whoss term of office
shell be for two jeers and until bis successor
ie elected aod qualifies." Uoder tbe lew I

A Christmas right.
A croud of negroes, mso snd women, a
majority of whom are well known Io police
oirolss, celebrated Cbristmss on Divine
Street and thereabouts. It was a rough
aod tumble time, from all accounts, in
mean liquor, sticks, pistols, rstore and
brlek bats wsrs mixed indiscriminately
For a wonder none of tbs pnrticipanta were
killed or seriously Injured, end only Jim
Ross bears tbs marks of tbs fray. His ear
and Henry Nobles' month got mixsd np with
disastrous results to tbs eer, more then hslf
nf which was bittsn off close to tbe hssd
Ross thinks Nohlss cbswed the ear up and
swallowed it for he mads diligent search for
the piece after the row and failed to find it.
The whole crowd wee op before tbs Msyor
next morning sod most of them peid for their
fun. The Mayor discharged Jim Ross, saying
that be had been sufficiently punished by the
loss of an ear.
I
Coroner's Verdiot
The verdict of the coroer's jury io tb*
matter of tbe killing of Tigb Richardson oo
December 24tb, on the road near the' Poor
House, was "that Richardson cimo to bis
death from a gun shot from tbe band .
Alex Jfffersoo, and that Joe Ziel was an
accessory before the fact." Both Jefferson
aud Zael have beeu committed to jail
When threatened by pneumonia or any
other long trouble, prompt relief is necessary,
as it is daogerous to delny. We would sug?
gest that One Minute Cough Cure be takeo as
sooo as indications of hnviog takeo cold are
noticed. It cures quickly aod its early use
prevents consumption. J. 8 Hugbson k
