Charley SLorter's condition, accord
ing to latest accounts, is much improv-
| ed, and it is expected that he Will re-
cover. Ben Sports was lodged in
jail last Friday, but it is thought that
in a few days he will be released on
bail.
aIr. Gustave Alexander appears to
be good workman and honorable in
his transactions. We believe he will
be found to be honest and 'stra;g ;ght-
forward in all his transactions, and
that when be says he will guarantee
all his work. that he means just what
he says. Give him a trial.
It was said of brilliant young
lawyer who recently killed himself in
Texas that the fatal act was caused by
mental depression" The mental de-
preston was caused by a debauch
begun in bar-room. His mother is
called a fanatic because she wants the
bar-rooms closed.
All of the Sumter rioters are out on
bail. Messrs. Keels and Pennington
are out on $1,000 bond each, and
Messrs. HARDY and Bowman on
$1,000 bond each. Their trial will
very probably be postponed to the
May term of court, at which time the
whole party will be acquitted.
Gustave Alexander is now prepar-
ed to do all kinds OF repairing. Give
him your watches, clocks, or iewelry
that may need any kind of repairs,
and he will do it in first class style,
and warrant all his work. He has just
received a lot of Waterbury watches
at $3.50 each; also, a large assortment
of solid and plated jewelry. At the
old Schwartz stand, next to Mrs. Ed

The ladies of the Methodist church
will serve dinner each day during

cient to assure any one that he will
get good dinner if he patronizes the
ladies' tables. We have not seen their
bill of fare, but feel safe in saying that
turkey, roast pig, cake, and all things
necessary for good dinner will be
there. They will serve oysters at
night.

The Cosored People Of Beaufort.

Without question. the colored people OF
Beaufort form the best community of this
race to be found in this State. With schools
of high grade, lawyers, teachers, and preach
ers OF color, there is a large amount OF IN
teliigence an3 pol;teness, and IN many re-
spects their behavior is very co,nmendable.
For two years I have lived N Beaufort, and
during this stay, have never seen the slight
est collision between the colcred and white
people. While living together and forming
one community, they are altogether se2a-
rate and distinct, forming dual communl-
". very distinct, yet closely united.
There are two evils existing among the
colored people. One is out-spoken profan-
itv. not in the violence of quarrel, but inter
larded and woven in all social conversation.
1t IS usual for white persons on the street
to speak in s1bdued tones, but the colored
people are lou3-si,oken not to say bolster
Gus. This w&ile not to be admired, IS harm-'
less, bat becomes very offensive to refined
ears when mixed in with the name OF the
De:,v IN a friyn Gus, sportlve, reckless. or
violent way. This profanity is so ha5ltual,
as not to attract the attention OF these per
sons, and it would be we'll fcr the thought
fu! and considerate among them to correcta
custom, offensive to God and disgusting to
good taste to say nothing of piety. 1t would
r ally be folly fora prescher to preachs'
them on the subject OF profanity, for not
one in a hundred regard themselves protane,
bat to Lai: them in conversation, and point
ont the profanity, while it would certainly
surprise, might benefit them.
The other evil to which l refer is the cru

the part Of the enraged mother, and the vio-
lence Of the tones are only equaled by the
cries of the child for mercy and the sharp
sound OF the lash as it falls with pitilesS fu-
ry upon the screeching child. These scenes
are as remarkable for their length as for
their violence which is not measured by the
number Of strokes, but by the endurance Of
the mother Moses law numbered stripes
to forty save one, but here, they often reach
far beyond hundred.
It really seems to me that more than twen-
ty years of freedom, with gentler examples
all around. shonld have wrought better de-
velopment of moral character on the part of
the negro but fear that this most discour-
aging feature in the negro character is so in

its eradication. In the mean time the

Coroner \. i. RidgiII Dead

Napoleon A. Ridgill died very sad-
denly Of heart disease last Saturday
about u o'clock. Mr.. Ridgill had as
usual risen early in the morning that
day, and before breakfast removed a
large number Of bee gums from one
place to a4other. After doing this he
ate an unusually hearty breakfast,
and an hour or so afterwards he
walked about mile and half to
see his brother, Monroe Ridgil, who
was sick. About an hour after get
ting there, while seated in chair,
the attack came On him, and he died
almost instantly.
Alr. Ridgil had been coroner of
this county since 1876, and except
during Radical rule he held
some public Office since he WAS grown.
He was one of the most popular me-
in the county, and although bis was
a four years Office, yet he used to r, n
every two years just for the fun OF it
to see bow far be could distance all
competitors, and ne generally got
most OF the votes.
Mr.. Ridgill was born Nov. 3, 1928.
He and Nh. Hiram Andrews were the
only two remaining members of old
Fellowship Baptist Church, of which
he had for many years been 8 con-
sistent member. MI. Ridgill leaves
four children, the youngest twelve
years old.

FOreStOn Fragments.

DIR. EDITOR: There have been many
changes since I last wrote. A new
store has been opened in the Belengel
building by Mr.. Cohen. Forestol
now has six stores
Mr.. C. NJ. Mason has built neat
and commcGious residence on Mair
street, near the Baptist church, into
which lie will soon move with his
lovely bride. Mr.. D. E. McCormick
has also erected, within the last few
months, very neat cottage on same
street, and thus the town continues to
grow, for it is only about a month
since our efficient depot agent, Mr. &.
L. Porter, went into his new dwelling.
We had, during the last week, o
drover, with mules and horses for sale,
but we do not think any sales were
made here, the demand having been
already supplied.
Mr.. r. r. Hudeins recently had
some fine stock shipped from Charles
tor. He will redouble his energies
in farming this year, and with Mr.. A.
J Walter at the helm, will be sure to
succeed.
And Major Land: Well, everybody
who knows him are aware that there
is no such word as fail with him. Two
of his farms, the Duke and the Doctor
Swamp, presided over by Bagnal and
Hughes, respectively, are now ready
to receive seed.
The council is now having the ditch
es cleared and the streets worked, and
propose 10 open several new streets
before long, which will add much to
the convenience of our people, and
put upon the market some nne build
ing lots.
I almost forgot to mention, that the
Foreston Academy is in fine working
order, and the students making salts
factory progress.
That The droyers man insu:ted e
woman, who swore out warrant for
him for assault with intent to ravish,.
but be had skipped.
That J. G. Land was the happy
father of pretty little girl.
That Elbert Dennis and Apply Fri
erson had fight last night and were
pretty badly bunged up, though not
seriously hurt. Council will look into
the matter to-day.
