Tertiary force. for s years, year and
for months, in the order above named.
ESchumpert was anxious for the Sheriff

him light work, but he was informed
that his connection with him ceased as
seon as was delivered to the officer in
charge of the prison, as directed by the
Session of the Court. / guess he will
bel willing to let forging alone for
awhile after a years experience.
The publishers of the new paper, the
Daily Record, which appeared on Mon
day afternoon, the Goth, have decided to
present it rs an afternoon paper for the
present, and in their salutatory they
saJ that ''it will in due time appear as 4
morning Journal" The Record is {; six
column, well printed paper; larger, the
typography better, and altogether a de-

Mrs. Geo. B. Cromer and little Mar
gueritte returned to Newberry on the
18th, after spending a week with
relatives and friends IN this city.
Twas misinformed as to time and man
nerE in which Messrs. B. B. and B. j..
Ramage, Jr., reached this city and left
for their home at Newberry. have
learned since writing the dot contained
in my letter of last week, that they
reached here on Saturday afternoon in
stead of Sunday, and that they left on q
special train on the same evening, and
not by private conveyance as l had been
told. The gentleman who gave me the
information said they left the hotel in a
carriage, and as he knew there was no
regular train, and not having heard OF
their hiring one, he took it for granted
that they had gone home in the carriage;
the mistake he made was in the day. l
am truly glad they reached home on
Saturday evening.
Remember the time for the Joint sum-
mer meeting of the State Grange and
Agricultural Society at Bennettsville,
Marlboro County, on August ., 1883,
also the time for the meeting Of the
State Sunday School Convention Qnter-
denominationaD in this city on August
1920. An interesting programme has
been arranged distinguished Sunday
School workers have consented to take
part, and the prospects are bright for a
large attendance and profitable meet
ing. The programme will be printed as
soCn as the committee can hear from
file railroads as to reduced rates. The
| South Carolina Railway Co. have prom
ised to put tickets on sale at All OF the
stations on the main Line and their
branches, on August 18th and 18th, linn
tied to delegates and visitors IN actual
attendance upon the Convention, at Il
cents mile each way (3c for the round
trip), good until and including the 22nd.
A similar rate from the other roads
would be the means Of bringing many
who would not otherwise attend. En-.
tertainment will be provided for all the
delegates and for those invited to take
part in the discussion Of the subjects ar
ranged in programme, and reduced rates
secured for all visitors who may be pres.
ent on this occasion and who will senc
their names to Rev. A. Coke Smith
Chairman, or to A. G. Jones, Secretary
| of the Ex.-Com. State SIS. Convention
Columbia, S. c.
The Columbia correspondent OF the
Charleston NeUS and Courier in his Letter
of.zJu 18th, speaks as follows of the
disposition made by the Board OF the ap
preparation made by the Legislature io
| the value of artificial limbs in 1884:
cat the comptroller-general's Office
to-day made inquiry as to the disposl
ton Of the appropriation Of $9, 900 made
by the Legislature at its last session To-
giving the value OF the appropriate
f-artiiciar limbs to soldiers OF the Stat.
| who had lost legs or arms III the war. L
Will be remembered that this was the
last of a series OF appropriations TOWARD
the same end. At first artificial limb:
were bought and supplied by the State
but they proved worthless. Subsequent
" the terms of the annual appropriations
were so changed that the Uatue OF the
limbs was given to those who proved
their claims to them, and those who hac
received worthless appliances were al
lowed to draw their proportion OF the
money as if they had not been originally
supplied. The scale on which the fragg:
ments are made is this: For the loss OF
an arm below the elbow, $40; above the
elbow, $50. For the loss OF leg below
the knee, SIS; above the knee, slOO
The amount paid varies with the exten:
Of the injury as certified by a surgeon'
No instance is reeollected where as
much as 800 has been paid for the loss
of one limb. The appropriation OF $4,000
was exhausted several months ago, and
there are now about one hundred unpaid
claims on fle.'
TIN ay be of interest to say, that 907
applications have been filed since the
first appropriation was made in ls7e,----
sO6 being the last which came in the ap-
propriation OF IS, 900, made atthe Session
| f.iSS4. In the sos there were instance:
where two applications were made. The
law is preemptory, consequently the
second application has been invariably
disallowed.
