A surveying party passed up the road
on crank car on the Wilson and Summer
ton Railroad last Friday night, and on their
return one of the party Was sitting on the
front end with his feet hanging down, when
suddenly his foot struck Mr.. p. W. Web
ber's heai. The hange Of one of thc
wheels also struck him, cutting his head
quite severely. Had it not been that he was
first struck by the mans foot, in nj! proba-
bility the wheel ofthe car would have crush
ed his head into Il jelly.
1t is not known how Mr.. Webber came to
be in this dangerous position, but it is sup
posed that he was walking the track and fell
down vu the rails, rendering him uncon-
sciOus.
He was taken up from the place and car
ried to his brothers home at Jordan, where
lie lay unconscious for several hours. After
regaining consciousness he was unable to
account for the accident He WAS badly
bruised about the head, but the doctor that
attended him does not consider his wo undS
dangerous.

Law and Business in Sumter.

The general assembly Of South Car
olina is in session, and old laws will
be repealed or amended, and new
laws will be placed on the statute
books. They will also elect some one
to represent South Carolina in the
United States Senate. An election
will also take place for the judseship
of the 3rd judicial circuit. All these
things keep the minds of the people
in a state Of agitation.
The laws may berepealed or amend
ed, and new ones made. 1t will not
affect the rapid growth OF the trade
of The Levi Brothers. They will con-
tinue selling their we'll assorted stock
of dry goods, hats, shoes, clothing,
fancy goods, and groceries at such
prices that the laws of the land will
tolerate and protect, because the law
makers know that when merchants
treat their customers with rs much
fairness as do the Levi Brothers, of
Sumter, they deserve to be looked
upon as public benefactors.
Therefore it is useless for the peo-
pie to become unnecessarily agitated
rs to whom the legislature will honor
with the senatorial OF judicial plums
1t matters not who is elected the Levi
Brothers will remain the friends of
the people, and will continue buying
their goods so that their customers
will be able to buy from them cheap
er than elsewhere They have recently
laid in special stock of goods for
the Christmas trade, which they are
Offering at prices that cannot be du-
plicated in the State. Don't fail to
inspect their stock.

Nlg"er i'm thc Col,on Pile.

About to o'clock Tuesday morning at
Dpdleys Station, some one called at the
store of Mr. John Frierson for bottle OF
laudanum for q sick neighbor, While
serving this person the dog belonging on
the premises was barking to such an extent
that Mr.. FrierSon concluded he~-would
90 and find out the cause. As he walked
out of bis house he discovered gate lead
ing 10 his cotton house closed, and the dog
trying 70 paw under. This aroused his Sus-
picions, and he called his mother-in-aw to
90 and wake up Mr. Reese who lives near
On his arrival Mr.. Frierson stationed him
at a door, and himself went through the
store into another door opening into the
cotton room. He made 4 search of the room
and discovered that some one had robbed
him OF about LOCO pounds OF cotton. He
was abont to 60 out when he discovered
something black about the size OF a man 5
hand projecting from the pile Of cotton. He
threupon approached the black spot, and
kicking it with lis foot he found that it WAS
something solid and very hard, and fearing
that the object might be q cannon ball filled
with some kind Of explosive be hesitated
about kicking it again After some little
time spent in reflection he concluded to try
t again. This time the blow caused the
object to become more exposed, and it turn
ed ont to be {; negroS head.
The negro's name is Henry Owens, but is
Familiarity known as Doubling Henry, 4
very bad character. After MIR. Frierson
caught him he acknowledged that he had an
accomplice, and told who he was. He Claims
not to know what has become Of the stolen
cotton.
Doubling Henry" without doubt, was
brought to Manning at q very early hour
yesterday morning and lodged in the guard
house, and after daylight his quarters Were
changed TO the county Jail, where he will
remain until court to answer to the charge
Of burglary and grand larceny and for the
damage done TO Mr.. Frierson's shoe while
attempting to ferret out the cause of the
black spot in his cotton pile

dition that can excuse such shaneful
desertinn Of party and principles,
though 1t may be argued that "a there
was nothing at stake, it was a good
opportunity TO give those who had tn

faults in party management to b.
