SIR. EDITOR: As I always like to
know the author Of good pieces, allow
me, through the columns OF your pa
per, to ask the people of Mct.sddins
P. 0. section, who that writer Of the
Clarendon Enterprise is, that was
caught in ''Cupids Meshes" by that
enchanting and beautiful, refined,
intelligent and loquacious' widow on
the 25th prox Say to them, please,
to ask that modern Demosthenes while
promu!gating his esoteric cogitaticns
for the Clarendon Enterprise, to- let
his writing possess clarified concise
ness, a compact comprehensibleness,
and concatenated cogency-eliminate
all attempts at bombast and the pro-
ductions of his pen will yet make those
of Xenophone dwindle into insignif-
gance. After perusing that piece,
master piece, I am at loss to to to
know If We are in the ninteenth centu-
~. Honing it won't be long ere the
Sumter ". & s. will be able to exca-
vate from another. column of the Clar-
enlon Enterprise piece that will
make the hair upon the head OF the
literary world, stand erect, like the
quills Of frightful porcupine. am,

ACCIDENT WITH a PIsToI~-Frank
Ridgill, colored, was shot in the head
last Thursday morning on our streets,
BY the careless handling Of pistol III
tie hands of a little darlley about
eight years old The boy who lives
in shop kept by Duke Mack, a broth
er, was allowed to play with the pistol
when it went of, and Ridgill who
was passing at tie time, in front Of
the store, received the contents in his
head. Passing through the rim and
crown Of his hat. the ball entered the
head, just above the temple, and rang.
ing upward, around the skull, lodged
IL the top Of his head, where it was
extracted by Dr.. Z. E Dickson. Rid
ellis escape was remarkable, and can
only be satisfactorily accounted for by
the metallic composition of the Afri-
cans cran;um. Had the ball found a
place in a head Of the lighter race the
final day would have come and per-
haps useful citizen sacrificed BY the
criminal carelessness OF Duke, the pro
prietor of tie shop. The authorities
should investigate the matter, and at
least give The parties a good scare.

ITEMS FROM SAMMY SWAMP,
SAMMY SWAMP, Feb. l9, 1886.

Mr.. EDIToE Il has been quite one
month since I wrote to you last, aad
during that time We have had very
little to disturb the 'noiscleSs tenor Of
our way" save small dance at neigh
cor II. S. Bs., just a week ago. 1t
proved one OF the pleasantest affairs
of the season. Sumter and Manning
were represented there, and it was
there that we had the pleasure OF
meeting our Old acquaintance, Nj.
Harry Wyma,l, who was visiting in
this neighborhood.
Mr.. Martin Minis has returned to
his home after an absence of sever
al months in Arkansas. He intended
moving his family out there, but chang
! ed his mind and came back to ''old
! Clarendon. Rev. and MIS- Elwell
from Bishopyil!e, are on visit to Mrs.
Es. sister, Mrs. II. Minis. We are
also pleased to chronicle the visits of
Mr.. I. W. Briggs Of Columbia, who
after an absence Of eleven months is
spending a week with his relatives,
and Mr.. Willie Jennings, Of Samter,
who is visiting Mr.. Bouldin Tindal.
MesSrs. Weeks and AIilligan have
moved into our immediate ncighbor-
hood, and have ':ptclcd their tent at
the place formerly occupied by Mr..
Frank L..sesnes mill and gin houses.
We hopaA.at their gnmmy occupa-
/! ton viii not cause them to stick so
close al home, bnt that we may have
an occQ<janGI visit from them both.
The farmers are pushing steadily
forward with their work, and spirit
of unusual energy seems to actuatc
them all, for old fence rows aHd dead
trees have disappeared as if by mag
ic. Some of the farmers have replant-
ed their oats-'tis to be hoped that
they mill meet with better luck this
time. There is slight suspicion Of
spring in the air, but am afr;gil to
trust it, for our climate has grown so
very treacherous.

Rev. Z. D. Bass, of Manning, filed
the Baptist pulpit last Sunday evening,
and preacheda a powerful sermon on the
resurrection. The great truth of the
resurrection Of body and soul was an-
nounced in his text. For this kowl-
edge, he said, we are indebted to reve-
lation,-reason had almost attained it,
as in the case of Socrates, but not ful-
ly; nature did not tell it, though speak
ing "a various language; but the Bi-
bic contains it, and It is a most bles-
sed fact for man, that earth and ocean
shall give up the dead that are in
them The time is short and prepar-
alton important This outline was
