CHANGING over the old files of the Sumter
Republican, our eyeFests upon the follow
ing under issue Of April "a, 1883:
1.-THE following rs a list OF tue farmers
names who have generously subscribed
the number Of bushels OF corn opposite
their names, at 81 per bushel, and agree

Il. j. Hodges 100, James Weaver T."
Sixteen others subscribed 90 bushels
each, while twenty-five more put down
amounts ranging from 40tO 8 bushels. The
corn was worth many times more than
the price expressed, in the currency of
the day, and each gentleman on the list
would, If need be, have cheerfully donated
tine amount of his subscription Even as
early as the spring of '63 the question of
force had come to be a serious one with
the COnfederacy, leading the Richmond
Enquirer to say
"The custom of three meals a day
should be abandoned, two are amply suffi-
clehb; IL Is ndDlt-JulS odLDR IufeS
meals day-aDd, lat present, bad habit.
We can accustom ourselves to two meals,
and to two light meals at that, and it is a
duty we owe to the cause. 1t is nearly as
bad to grow fat as to get rich while this
war is being waged." Speaking of the
nigh price of board, the Richmond EX-
aminer of March 6 in the same year,
saws:
''NOt less than fourteen of the largest
boarding houses in Richmond have closed
their doors the present week to table
boarders, on account Of the scarcity and
unprecedented high prices of all the neces-
saries of life, and more will follow their
example soon. At the large hotels the
price of board and lodging per diem is Sc,
and if prices continue to advance in the
same ratio in the future as they have in
the past, boarding will advance to $40 a

From the atlanta (GI.) ConstisstSon.
On Marietta street, under the Telephone
Exchange building, there IS a Chinese
laundry. Yesterday afternoon terrier
dog, in some unaceOuntable way, became
firmly hitehed Just under the iron grating
that covers the cellar opening. Thed0g's
tail, which was quite long and very black.
prOtruded from the grating and stretched
itself out upon the stone pavement. In
it's efforts to eXtrIcate itself from its UNI
pleasant predicament, the dog would now
and then Wriggle it's tail, causing it some
what to resemble snake.
A beVy of little girls passed, on their
way to a Cinderella rehearsal at the opera
house. The leader, little thing all in
white, and who bobbed along in high
heeled slippers, caught glimpse of the
wriggling tail.
"My stars''' abe exclaimed, ''there's a
snakei"
Then she screamed and ran into the
street, and all the other little girls
screamed and followed her.
A very fat man, whose frequent use OF a
white handkerchief indicated that be
suffered from the heat, minced up and
asked a bystander what was the matter
with the little girls. Before he received
reply he also caught glimpse OF the
Wriggling tail.

He stood not upon the order Of his going,
but FASTENED off in search OF a policeman.
The fat mans exit was quickly followed
by the entrance or a rough looking cOun-
tryman. He carried heavy horse whip.
When he saw the wriggling tail he struck
it with the whip, and remarked with en-
phasis:
''Darned if / don't kill ev'ry cussed

The dog snaFled and barked when its tail
was struck, and by an extraordinary
effort eXtricated itself and dropped into
the depths beneath.
'sWhy. it's a dorgp said the country
man. ''Cuss the fool thing, thought its
tail was a black snakeP'
Then he hurried away, looking very

The Rough-and-Tumble Fight the
Excitement of the Day.

Excitement of the Day.
Fronptbe At6ens ht7a.l Banner Waterman.
Everybody who.has an idea of fun was
on the lookout for the rOugh-and-tumble
fight that was reported to come OFF Fri
day evening at 4 O'Clock. The faculty,
who have the welfare of the University at
heart, were on the lookout to try and stop
the difficulty. The police all looked know
ing, and were circulating around the
campus to see what they could find out.
II carriage with cover omit left the
livery stable il was closely watched to
see who got in it. A false trail was pro-
duced by carriage going up the street
with a student and lady sitting on the
back seat. This was the carriage that
contained one OF the combatants, who had
dressed up IN Woman's clothes to deceive
the police, and large crowd followed as
soon as this fact was made known. An
other dodge was taken to throw the police
and the faculty OF the track-that the
whole affair had been declared of, as the
faculty had interfered, and the two young
men had agreed TO defer it until some flu
ture time. One OF the cOmbatants left his
room and walked down College avenue,
displaying his well-trained muscles and
a determination in his eye TO never give
up. Bets were made on every corner,
and, in few instances, odds were given
on which one would get the best of the
fight. The fight was to occur at Mitch
ell's bridge, just outside OF the incOrpora-
ton, where the police could not interfere
with the innocent amusement OF the col
lege boys.
The referees were chosen, and at 4:30
O'Clock the young men stripped for the
fray, each one showing fine muscle. The
first round was fought in fifteen minutes,
and at the end of twenty minutes the
Judge declared it draw, each one of the
combatants being badly punished.
We forbear giving names, as 1t might
possibly reach the ears of the professors
and subject the two young men to some
inconvenience. A large crowd was in at
tendance, and the livery stables were the
only ones that made any money out Of the
affair. 1t is TO be hoped that such a thing
will not occur again soon.

For several days past there have been
rumors of trouble in the campus among
thestudents. Rumors were rite ola duel.
Small knots OF students could be seen on
every street corner, and at the gates lead
ing into the campus. They would crowd
up together, ana pistols and coffee and
Marquis of Queensberry rules were the
principal themes of conversation. There
seemed 10 be some disturbing element in
this large body of young men. and re-
porter determined to sift it to the bottom
and tindout the cause of the disturbance.
After walking several blocks he encount-
cred student who was willingtO tell all
he knew, and thus he began:
''fhere 10 some trOu BILE about cheating
in examinations. One of the students re-
ported that another had cheated in his eX-
animation, and OF course this was against
all rules laid down for the advancement of
students in the University. They had
been sent here by their kind and indulg-
ent fathers to get an education, and not to
cheat when it came to an examination.
The charge of cheating was resented by
the student who had been accused, and a
duel must end the matter. The whole
affair has not as yet taken definite shape,
and friends on each side are trying to settle
the matter. A board of arbitration has
been appealed to, and if they cannot set
tie the trouble the fight will probably take
place the latter part Of the week near the
water works. Pistols or short swords
will not be used, but regular sparring
match will be engaged in according to the
Marquis OF Queensherry rules"
There have already been two lights and
couple OF black eyes over the matter,
and the end is not yet.
