Items of Interest from tho County
Commissioners Office.

. 4 ~ q =
The County Commissioners on Tues
day secured the right Of way and pillars
from the estate of Mary Cherry for tho
bridge over Seneca River at the Cherry
place, thus permanently locating tho
bridge. The bridge is to be 80 feet high.
and ono span 1853 feet long. The Com
missioners received four bids for the
erection of an iron bridge from the fol-
lowing parties: r.. Merydith, for Pitts
burg Bridge Co.; j. II. Whitner, for
George II. Craft, of Atlanta; G. T.. Ham
lin, for King Iron Bridge Manufacturing
Company, Cleveland, Ohio, and S. d.
Brady, for w. II. Converse, of Chatta-
nooga, Tenn. Wo have been unable to
ascertain the amount of the bids Of these
parties, but from the best we can learn,
tho bids probably were within $500 of
each other, but mono moro than So. 900.
Tho Commissioners reserved their deci-
sion on tho letting of the bridge, but
will decide within tho next ton days.
The bridge will be built at no distant day.
Tho Commissioners think they have
enough money on hand to pay tho County
claims up to date.
In tho annual settlement with the
Treasurer tho Commissioners ascertained
that tho surplus after paying last years
accounts was $2,50504.

There was large meeting of the
Democracy of Sumter County at the
Court House last Monday. AS is
usual in political meetings when both
sides arc represented, the discussion
waxcd warm at times, but the scnti-
ment of the meeting was almost
unanimously Anti-Tillman, as was
evidenced when resolutions, offered
by Mr.. II. r, Thomas, condcmning
the action of Mcssrs. Jones, Wood,
ward and Sims in calling the meet,
ing of farmers opposed to the Tillmar
movement, were overwhelmingly dc.
feated. On these resolutions a ris
ing vote was called for, but only tho
mover of the resolutions stood TO,
the affirmative. When those oppos
cd to the resolutions were requested
to stand the whole assemblage arose
A resolution was offered, and al
most unanimously adopted, rcqucs..
ing the State Democratic Executive
Committee to make arrangements
for speakers to meet and Join in dis.
cussion with Captain Tillman when

Things to Tell Pupils.

Tell them about the Congo cXplora-
tions. Fifteen hundred miles from the
nearest sea coast, situated almost upon
the equator, is tho famous Arab settle
mcnt of Stanley Falls. From village
sixty miles below here tho young OK
plorcr, Herbert Ward, started in two war
canoes with thirty reckless Zanzibasis
and five war worn Soudanesc veterans, on
n trip down the dangerous Congo, through
the miasinal depths of tropical Africa, a
section inhabited by tribes of canibals,
whose integrity in torture was not equal
cd by even their morcilcssness. He had
encounters with the natives and escapes
from the gigantic reptiles of the river;
traverscd the luXuriant rcccsscs Of tho
equatorial junglcs, had many experiences
in tho barbarous native villages, and
studied native litn, religion, customs and
| practices.
| Tell them about the dcstructivcncss of
| insects. Some of them destroy entire
fields of grain, cotton and rice, and rava-
gcs orchards, gardens and vineyards.
| The cotton worm in the South has caused
loss of millions of dollars, and the cod
lin moth is scarcely less destructive to
apples. Tho world owes large debt of
gratitude to those men of science who
have studied these tiny creatures and
pointed out the way of saving vegetation
from their ravagcs. Nothing in nature is
too insignificant for our ttcntion and
study.
Tell them about the depths of tho
ocean. The greatest known depth is be-
tween tho island of Tristan PAcunha
and the mouth of tho Rio dc la Plata. The
bottom is thcrc reached at a depth of
1926 feet, or eight and thrce-quarter
miles, exceeding by more than II, 900 feet
the height of Mount Everest, tho loftiost
mountain in the world. In the North
Atlantic ocean, South of Newfoundland
soundings have been made to n depth of
1850 fatholns, or 27, ,4S0 feet; while depths
cqualing $4,000 feet, or six and half
miles, are reported South of the Bermuda
islands. Tho average depth of the Pa
cific Ocean, between Japan and Calfor.
mia, is a little over 1000 fathoms; between
Chill and Now Zealand, 1900 fathoms
The average depth of all tho oceans is
from 1000 to $500 fathoms.

Rcm0rkNbIe Success.

The Davis Sewing Machine, manufac-
turcd by the Davis Sewing Machine Com
pany, at Watertown, n. Y, has fairly as
tonished it's inventor, manufacturers and
agents, in the rapidity with which it has
como to tho front as the favoritc family
sewing machine.
People have, for years, supposed that
no more improvement could bo made in
this ''family FRIEND" but that this was
possible is abmdantly proved by the
New IIigh-Arm Davis. They arc in
creator demand where their merits are
known than any other sowing machine.
They are SO easily undcrstood so light
running; so sure to stay in perfect order,
and so cheap, considering the quality,
that we advise all persons wishing the
very best sewing machine ever made, to
warrants every machine for five Years
and we'll they may, for the machine in
all of its parts, is of such a high grade
of workmanship that it cannot well get
| out of order. a hard running machine
will eventually impair The constitution of
the strongest woman, \ machine that
does not work perfectly, Is ngonizing to
nervous, dcliscately-organized girl or
woman. a machine that is often out of
order; that Is not ready for use at all
times when it is wanted, is q thing of
neither pleasure or profit Thrco-fo,irths
Of the time required in making a garment
is ordinarily consumed in basting the
work. No time il thus wasted with this
machine, as, by the use of the vertical
feed, all manner of sewing is done with
out basting If you buy "Davis," you
will have a machine approximating pcl-
fcction, and for more than this, no one
need ask.
Call and sec the machine at Alexander
Bros. & Go. .'rccnvillc, S. G., and they
will convince You that all We have said
Of tho Davis Sewing Machine is true to

Leaphart Lynclled.

Especial to the Greonvillo Daily News
LEXINGTON DEpoT, S. c., May s.
Willie Lcaphart, convicted of
criminally assaulting Miss Rosa Can
non, was lynched here this morning.
The lynching party numbered about
one hundred. Some were from tho
country and some from town. It's
members make no effort to conceal
their identity, and opt :ly acknow-
ledge and discuss the matter on the
streets. The bogus detective, Eos
ter, was in the cell with Lcaphart
when tho mob entered. He was
shot in the arm and had a narrow cs-
cape from death. by desperate
fighting he freed himself from Leap
hart's grasp and got in another cell.
The mob forced themselves in the
cell corridor and poured vollcy after
vollcy in the cell with little effect,
Leaphart keeping ina corner at the
entrance. Three lamps were brought
and he shivcrcd them to pieces with
stick. Five men successiycly at
tempted to enter the cell and were
SIuCkcu OPcI UDCll IlcdtS. NlJcf
several hundred shots had been fired
a bullet struck Lcaphart in the
head, hurting him TO the floor. He
was then dragged out and sixteen
balls from q Winchester were fired
into him. The intention was to
hang him in Graham's yard, but the
mob had to kill him to get him out
of the cell. The lynching was
caused by rumor to the effect that
Graham and Deputy United States
Marshal Miller had obtained fur
ther respite and had given the papers
to Sheriff Drafts yesterday and that
Lcaphart was to be transferred to
Columbia. Graham and Miller left
here this afternoon on foot to ask
protection of the Governor. The
matter is very coolly discussed here.
The situation is marked by total
absence of excitement. The lynch
ers seem perfectly willing to take
the consequences of their act.

RIcHLAND, S. c., May 9th, 1890.
DEAR COURIER: Since our last
writing shadow of gloom has been
cast over our neighborhood, occa-
stoned by the death Of Mr.. M. S.
Stribling, ST., which occurred at his
home on Saturday night, the Sd in
slant, just as the family clock tollcd
nine. His health has been declining
for several years, at intervals suf-
fcring intensely, and while he was
generally cheerful, at times life
seemed burden to him. A few
days previous to his death he suf-
fcrcd repeated commissions and it
was feared that his long and useful
life would thus be ended, but these
attacks grew less severe until the
Masters summons came and he de-
parted without a struggle. His sons
and daughters were with him several
days before his death, and did all
that could have been done to relieve
his sufferings. The funeral sermon
was preached at three O'Clock by
Rev, j. e. Fogartic, assisted by
Rev. j. y. Marion, and his body after
ward laid to rest in tho Richland
Presbyterian burial ground. Mr..
Stribling had been a member of this
church ever since our first rccollcc-
ton of him, and at the time of his
death was seventy one years and one
day old. lie leaves widow and a
large family of children to mourn
their loss and we extend to them our
heartfelt sympathics.
