baffled the medical profession more than nasal

A Partisan Bill.

The Washington correspondent OFFS The
Commercial Bulletin Democratic paper
which strongly advocates Free Trade
principles, telegraphs:
The trainers of the Mills bill have also
diminished the chance of Republican support
by the marked discrimination in favor of
Southern as against Northern products and
industres. This and other indications point
to an undue prominence given to political
as opposed to commercial and business con-
in the work of the trainers and
managers of the bill.
The same correspondent telegraphs that
vote, in order to avoid disclosing the
division in the Democratic party. "The
Commercial Bulletin" properly condemns
this plan, as calculated to expose all
industry to serious loss through delay
and uncertainty, and urges with patriotic
earnestness that prompt action is duty
that Democratic members ''are not sent
to Washington to legislate for this party
or that, but for the country, and the
country will hold them to their response
bility."
1t must be admitted that the elections
of the Maine cities are not very cheering
to the Washington tariff thinkers who
receive their political gospel from the
Cobden Club. nor for the Cleveland kind
of Civil Service Reformers. "Things are
working"

i Rapid Run TO Charleston.

On Tuesday last Mr.. Dave Justice, en-
gineer CT engine No. 10 on the Atlantic
Coast Line, ran his train, the afternoon
passenger, from this city to Charleston in
remarkable time The whole distance, 1877
miles, was made in Just three hours and
four minutes, or lS4 minutes. Twelve full
stops were made, and two "slow downs
of three miles each to q rate of fifteen miles
an hour, and also the rules were conformed
to requiring fifteen minutes to make the
run from Ashley junction to Charleston,
81 miles. The best time was made between
st. Stephens and Ashley Junction, dis
tance of 80 $40 miles, which was made in
exactly thirty eight minutes, time being
taken when the throttle was opened leaving
the FIRST named place and when Che engine
came to o standstill ct the latter station.
This is believed to be the best run ever
made between this city and Charleston,

Col. Hudgins Answers Creeker.

FoREsToS, Aug. 11-Nr. Edaor:-"Deep
Creeker" has pitched into me without
gloves, though he has mistaken my title, as
corporal is the highest honor ever had
conferred on me. He and all the Creekers
are welcome to the advice given as to my
mode OF preparation and cultivation of
corn land, but it only applies to Foreston
lands. 1t would not apply to Deep Greek
lands, inasmuch as it would be necessary
to make other appliances to obtain any
thing like satisfactory result. AS to my
pomological knowledge, must confess
am deficient since have never swallowed
Webster's spelling book, nor Green's Alma
nae. Nor was I before aware that Greek
err was one of the passengers on the emf
grant ship Azor that sailed from Charleston
few years ago for Liberia. am glad he
was SO fortunate as to make his escape, and
return to deep Creek, SO as to enlighten US
on the geography Of that sunny land.
"Creeker' wishes to know whether it is
best to gather corn when silking and tassel-
ing, or wait until it is matured. If to feed
young calves the former; if old oxen, the
latter would be preferable. R. R. II.

Thrashins a Sneak Thief.

John Ashby Nelson, colored boy Of this
town, was caught last Thursday afternoon
in the act Of raising corn, not however by
the time honored method Of hoe and plow,
but through the far more expeditions meth
cd, from the cart of Mr.. George Ridgill,
who had left it only moment before, 60
ing into the store of Mr.. Weinberg On
returning he found one sack gone, and the
boy preparing to make another haul. When
accosted as to the missing grain-feeling
no doubt that it was an event in his life
needing explanation replied that the
corn had been taken by him just to see
what he (Mr. Ridgill) would say about it.
Mr.. Ridgill appears not to have appreciat.
cd this practical joking and with horse
whip he fell aboard the darkey and thrash
ed him soundly, only desisting when the
thief burst like battering ram through
the fence around the lot and escaped.
One-cat-o-nine-tails is worth all the Stat
ute Laws in the State to punish and pre-
vent such acts.

Notes From Jordan.

JORDAN, Aug. Things are moving on
quietly in our neighborhood, save the far.
mers, who are little enthused in regards
to an agricultural college, But according
to my opinion they had better get more in
terested about the common school system
OF our country. which is shamefully neg
lected; for the day when the common
schools are made perfect in our State, that
will be the day that the feet Of old South
Carolina will be placed on rock, and from
that time onward, every step she ascends
will be solid under her feet.
The weather has been quite warm for the
last week. We have been having very
heavy rains with much thunder and light
ming.
The farmers are all about through gather.
ing fodder. They have worked long and
their tolls have been great but now has
come the harvest and the time cf reaping.

May His Kind Increase.

Mai. D. R. Duncan, Of Spartanburg, who
is candidate for Congress from the Fourth
District, set an example the other day that
not only shows the true grandeur OF the
mans character, but one that's worthy the
emulation OF all of our public men. At the
Congressional Convention, which met at
Laurens last week, motion was made
that the nomination be made by primary
election. This was opposed by the dele
gates from Fairfield county, who wanted
the old convention plan continued, and IN
hopes of carrying their point they assured
Maj. Duncan's friends from Spartan burg,
Laurens and Union counties that ii they
would vote for the convention plan that
Fairfeld's eight votes would be given to
Duncan, thus nominating him by a hand.
some majority. Because his county had
instructed its delegates to vote for primary,
however, Maj. Duncan would not consider
the proposition for moment, saying be
would rather be right than be Congress
man. We soy hurrah for Maj. Duncan.
May his kind increase until there will be
enough of them to fill every Office in the
land.-Orangs6ug Times and Democrat.

The election in this place passed off very
quietly and pleasantly yesterday; in fact,
there has been better feeling and less
mud-slinging this campaign than in any
for several years. One man from the coun-
try got little too much of "the crather" in
hand, or rather in head, and o policeman
was about to take him in tow, when he
made run for liberty. He got on his
horse, and started, but after running a
short distance, be fell of. he did not let
60 his horse, however, and before the po-
hceman cold oYertake him, he was up and
mounted and made final and successful
escape.
Mr.. Ferdinand Levi, who now conducts
the mammoth establishment at Bogin's old
stand, and who has prospered beyond his
expectations in his business since his
removal to this city, has gone to New
York to purchase his stock Of fall
and winter goods. Knowing, as we
do, the enterprise and energy Of Mr.. Levi,
and his fine judgement in the selection OF
goods, we can safely say that the people of
Sumter viii find at Mr. Lewis an assort-
ment Of goods not to be surpassed by any
store in town. Therefore look out for his re-
turn, which will be becomingly announced
at the right time and in o method that will,
if needed, be both pleasant and profitable
to all parties. Sumter Aduancs
