Sumter Gossip.

According to promise Imust send you a
few dots from Sumter. presumelt unnec-
essary to tell you we are city now, as you
ara aware of that.
AS we behold the wonderful change that
has been wrought, and having been acquaint-
ed with the place before it donned its urban
refine we feel like exclaiming, as did the
travelling youth when told he was crossing
the line between two adjoining States, Be-
hold what difference !" If you Manning
ties, waiting with bright anticipation for the
happy day to come when your lonely town
will emerge into cheerful city, want to
know how city folks act, just come up, we'll
show you how.
The wedding bells continue to ring and
the young mems hearts are still made to re-
ioice over their (mis)fortunes. Marriages
are so plentiful that we had one the other
morning before breakfast. Of course that
was quite an oddly, but remember this IS
leap year.
The main topic of conversation on the
streets of Sumter is still the Bowman-keels
affair. All the parties have now obtained
bail. There seems to be quite a sensation
now over the remarks of Judge Simpson
prior to granting bail. AS to his remarks,
we have nothing to say, except that as wise
man as Judge Simpson surely knew that
human nature does not always afford safe
guide.
Well, Mr.. Editor, please allow me before
closing this short letter, to speak very brief
" of my visit to your delichtful little town.
My stay was very pleasant indeed l was
most Hospitality entertained on Sunday by
that pleasant and intelligent gentleman,
Major Lesesne, and his kind family. Who
would not enjoy risi. to such family p
an intelligent father the gentle christian
wife, and the sweet children. Behold how
good and how pleasant it is to dwell in the
house of the Major
After ENJOYING short but pleasant stay at
the Majors I directed my wandering foot
steps to the house of the amiable DR.. Hug
gins. There his swee.spirited wife and his
lovely daughters made our heart jubl-
liant with fine music.

CEARMAN OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS.
INe,o Yori: Tribute, Ja'auay25.l
Asbury r. Perkins is tall, digniied nan
with pleasant face and keen blue eyes. He
is farmer, and lives in Lancaster, S. C.
He is prominent man in the community,
has the confidence Of every one, and when
he was appointed county commissioner
about year ago everybody in the neighbor-
hood said he was the right man in the right
place.
Mr.. Perkins came to New York during
Christmas week and stopped at Earle's Ho-
tel. He had just returned from Boston,
where he had left S20,0 900 in county bonds
in the vaults OF safe deposit company.
Mr.. Perkins started out for stroll up
Broadway during the afternoon to pass
away several hours before the train left for
the South. Near Blocker street a well-dress-
ed man came up from behind, hit him a
vigorous slap on the back, grasped his hand
shook it with great vigor, and said that he
was heartily glad to see him. He was a lit
tleastonished and did not think that this
Was the proper way to treat county COM
missioner, but the man would not hear Of
any rebuffs, took hold of his arm in most
familiar manner, and said that they would
take walk together. On the way up to l4th
street Mr.. Perkins found that he had met
an cid friend from Charleston. His friend
knew all about Lancaster, and fattered Mr..
Perkins by telling him that since he had
been made county commissioner the fnanc-

Perkins's Home Reputation.

LANCASTER, S. c., Feb. 3.-The informa-
ton that Mr.. Perkins had been arrested in
New York upon so serious and compromis-
ing charge as ''monkeying" with counter
felt money was received here with unbound
ed surprise and regret, for he enjoyed the
full confidence Of our citizens and was held
in high esteem by all who knew him.
Though native Of Virginia, he has been
living in Lancaster county number of
years, leading a quiet, sober, and industri-
Gus life. SO far as we know, the honesty
and integrity of the man has never before
been questioned. His family is very IN
teresting one, and much sympathy is felt
here for his wife and children in their
troubles.

FRAUDS AND C0UNTERFEITs.

There are sharpers and swindlers
without number, and there are fools
enough to support them. One fellow
will advertise to sell recipe for
twenty-five cents, whereby any one
can easily write without pen or ink.
Fools without number will bite at the
almost naked hook, and probably get
an answer to write with a pencil.
Another sharper viii possibly write a
long letter saying that some relative
or man by the same name has sudden
ly died at his hotel, and by sending
ten or fifteen dollars to pay his board
bill, his valuable effects, such as gold
watches, diamond rings, silver mount
ed pistols fine clothing, &c &c, which
the dead relative left, Will at once be
forwarded. Even such an absurd Of
fer az this will have numerous re-
sponses, But, when circular comes
stating that for ten dollars there will
be sent a hundred dollars worth OF
sfgreen goods" counterfeit money,
executed so well that the best ex-
perts cannot detect it." and one bites
at it, he is an unmitigated scoundrel
and swindler, totally unworthy the re-
spect and confidence Of any honest
man. The New York Judge was ex-
actly right in denouncing Perkins as
he did, for any man who would will
fully and maiciously handle or desire
to handle counterfeit money, and to
palm it off on his unsuspecting friends
and neighbors is deserving of all CEN
sure.
We publish two attempts at coun-
terfeit swindling, but in both cases
the design was nipped in the bud.
Every one should be shy of such cir
culars as propose to do so much for
30 little, unless be has surplus of
cash. Very few parties, to begin with,
attempt now days to counterfeit
money, and We presume those few
never dare to send out circular. The
fellows who send out the circulars
have no counterfeit money, and in
return for any money sent them, they
generally send a small box OF sawdust.
One of the best answers we ever
heard of to such circulars was made
several years ago, by Col. D. J. Aud,
now postmaster at Sumter. Upon the
reception of a circular offering to send
him for ten dollars one hundred dol
lars in greenbacks, printed on plates
stolen from the q. S. treasury, and
which were so perfect that the most
expert detectives could not distinguish
them, he wrote to the party, that it
they were so anxious for him to have
the money which they said was not to
be distinguished from the genuine, to
keep ten dollars out of the hundred
they had for him, and to send him the
remaining ninety dollars, since accord
ing to their own statement, their
money was just as good as any he
could send them.

There have been some reassuring
exhibitions, says the Greenvine Ne'cs,
of the reali ty of South Carolina JUS
tice, recently. At the last term of
court at Pickens, respectable white
man was convicted by white jury of
assaulting a negro with intent to kill,
and sentenced TO six months, impris-

white man of undoubted previous

James G.. Blaine has written let

now is, declining to become the Re-
publican candidate for the Presiden-

others think it is only political move
on his part to draw the Republican
party together to support him, and
thus insure his nomination next sum-
mer.

A traveller on Cape Breton Island says
that cod fishing is anything but an ex-
hilarating sport. He thinks the following
IS a very good imitation of it: Attach a
thirty pound dumb bell to a thin line,
about 100 feet in length, and throw it
overheard. Pay out line until the bottom
has been touched, wait a minute or two,
and then pull up the line as rapidly as
possible until the dumb bell has reached
the gunwale of the boat. At this stage
of the proceedings drop dumb bell and
all into the water again, and repeat the
process adj libitum. Be sure to get your
self thoroughly wet from the line, or
wear malodorous, second hand oilskins,
and have your hands blistered in as many
places as convenient. Meanwhile imagine
that you are excited over something, and
the whole performance will closely re-
semble cod fishing. News.

BETTER SERVICE DEMANDED.

The chairman of the council committee
on fire department should get after the
city electrician with a sharp stick. An
attempt early yesterday morning to send
in an alarm from box "a at the Inter
Ocean brought forth from the Pioneer
tower a mild response IN the shape of two
taps which gave no idea of the location of
the fire, and would scarcely have awakened
men sleeping in the building. Had the
fire been as serious as it was first sup
posed to be, no power under heaven could
have saved the opera house block, for
scarcely any fremen in the whole city
heard the alarm. This sort of thing has
happened lately on three different occa-
sions. The fault is not in the system,
which really works admirably if it only
receives the attention which the city
pays an electrician to give it.
The trouble is that the electrician has
not attended to the work and it is through
no fault of his hat the city has not ex-
perienced a disastrous conflagration. Let
the city electrician get a move on him or
give us a man who will, and that speedily.
Chief Fredendall now proposes some
changes in the system which appear to
meet with the approval OF the council
fire committee. These include the cree
ton of q house for the j. T. Clark Hose
company OH the south side, which will
provide proper accommodation for their
apparatus and give the men there n chance
to cope unaided with all the ordinary
fires in that section. When this arrange
ment goes into effect the COMPANIES on
this side of the track will not respond to
south side alarms except when the gen
eral alarm is given. The plan also m
braces the purchase of n horse and new
cart which will be utilized in
cases of fire in the outside
residence precincts of the city.
Through these means the scene OF the
fire may be reached quickly, and the work
done just as effectively as under the exist
ing arrangement. when all the men are
forced to drag their heavy apparatus 50
far that they are worn out before they
reach the spot where their services are
really demanded. 1t is also part of the
scheme that there shall be a general turn
out only in cases of alarms sent in from
the business part Of town, when the en-
tire department may be used effectively.
This is a good step toward the %organi.
cation of a paid department, which the
growth of the city will soon warrant and
demand.

THE Buffalo Echo begins to fear that
Councilman Loucks is only representing
his own town and not johnson county in
the Legislature because he proposes the
establishment of an agricultural college at
Sheridan. 1t claims hat 20 per cent
more agricultural land lies south than
north of the proposed division line in
johnson county. We have not yet heard
any protest from Suudance against the
establishment of a normal school there, so
take it for granted that there will be no
objection to the proposed measure in that
quarter.
