-Mr. Newman was sick for some time, suffering from a heart affection. He was more than seventy years old, being one of the oldest citizens of our town.

The Central railroad put on an excursion train yesterday morning to be continued all this week. It leaves Sumter at 7.30 A. and Manning at 8.03 A. M. arriving.in Charleston at 11 o'clock.

The train leaves Charleston at 7.55 o'clock P. arriving at Manning about 11.00 o'clock at night. This gives a double daily passenger train -between Sumter and Charleston.

H. D. Plowden is ahead in this county on the corn question. He brought dts last week some very large ears of corn of a crop he planted the 6th of last June, after he had gathered a crop of oats from the same piece of land. There were 2 3-4 acres, from which he gathered 85 bushels, and from one of these acres he gathered 40 bushels.

The, corn was fertilized with 65 pounds guano and three loads rough manure to the acre, and was planted in rows 5 feet apart, 18 inches on the bed. 130 ears of the corn when shelled weighed 64 1-2 pounds, and measured 1 bushel 3 1-2 quarts. The corn was not replanted, and no pease or anything else was planted on the land. It was not planted for a prize, but we think it would be an excellent idea for Mr. Plowden to send some of this corn to the State Fair.

It would very probably take a prize. Highest New AYork prices paid for all kinds of furs and hides (otter, fox, coon, mink a M. Kalisky's. Funeral Notice. The relatives, friends, and acquaintances Rev.

Mr. T. Adams Way has a flne sugal cane crop, and we hear is making some very fine syrup. Every farme: in the county ought to raise his owr syrup. None is superior to the rib on cane syrup, and then, a decided advantage, when we make it at home we know it is pure, which is a greal deal more than can be said of the commercial 8yrups.

Mr. Burton has about three bushels that hi will sell, and it can be obtained ai this office in quantities to suit, from pint to a peck. It is certainly the inet early corn we ever saw. Silver's Successful Start. Sava, Nov.

5, newsy columns have been so well filled with good reading matter for several weeks, that your correspondent has not been missed. I like the maximum of the various reports of every section so well, that I am always more inclined to want to read others than for them to read me. You know how hard it is to get news in the county. We live so remote from railroad facilities, away from the rumbling bustle of city life. We will, however, soon vie with Manning and Summerton.

They must acknowledge ere Christmas comes that Silver is their equal. The Eutawville Railroad is ready for the iron. The trestle across Sammy Swamp is almost completed; then nothing remains but the track laying. This is being pushed as rapidly as possible. In two weeks the material train will reach the town of Silver.

Silver station is named in honor of the President of the road. It is located between Rosin Hill and Mill Valley. Mr. R. F.

Milligan expects to enlarge his business in turpentines as well as general merchandise. Mr. Ashley Briggs, a young man of sterling worth, has opened one of the finest assortments of general merchandise. They pay the highest cash prices for cotton. Mr.

Henry Butler, who is a fine caterer, is erecting a handsome building for a restaurant. Meals at all hours during the day can be had at a small cost. We are to have a livery stable conducted by the.Marion brothers. Lots are sold to others who will open four more new stores ready for business by January. It really seems like this is to be one of the best and prettiest little towns in the general make up of Clarendon.

Then there will be other enterprises, now in contemplation, which will give life to the place. There is to be a large saw mill, a soap factory, and a glass factory. Capital is now coming to Silver. There is no community better suited to hold its own than this-a magnificent scope of country, healthy as the mountains. It opens up one of the finest opportunities to business men.

A large Alliance store will be open on first of January, and a saving bank, where laborers and others can deposit their week's savings. A large union academy will be built for educational advantages by three adjoining school districts. Our trial justice will establish his office here, and we shall certainly expect some lawyer to locate here. It will not only be profitable to the lawyer, but a legal convenience to the community. Silver proposes to be a dry town.

In the selection for mayor and aldermen prohibition will be her moral standard. It has been said to judge the piety of certain individuals you must count their jugs and demijohns. Silver discards this view of her citizens. This argument may do for river navigation, but in this moral atmosphere where the best and purest morals of our young men stand the highest, and where christian virtue has been elevated beyond the jug and the- card table, I think I speak the truth when I say our young men are better raised than to be guilty of such things. Wherever young men are led astray it is invariably done by some older head.

Now this is a hard saying, nevertheless it is true, unfortunately. Standing where a steamer was once unloading her cargo, on seeing a jug labeled to one whom I to be a church official, the question was asked, Does he drink The agent replied: He gets them mighity often, and its the only way I can judge who are members of the church.

Tilly Killed by George Ratcliffe.

hrd(7ucle.) On no subject perhaps has ther been a greater change of feeling i Georgia and the South than the cod duello. As long as the law counten anced meetings on the field of honor or did not prosecute principals seconds in such recontres, they con tinued to be the natural sequence any difference between gentlemei which one of the parties chose consider a reflection upon his honor Once this position was taken and challenge was sent, there was sma escape from a deadly encounter, i mattered not how trivial the offehcE for in the great majority of case there were half a dozen hot friends to say "there's nothing to but fight," or "you are ruined if yo1 don't fight," for one who tried to el feet a settlement. And even effort at a reconciliation were often of th most perfunctory character-the in tercessors frequently hoping that thei efforts would prove unavailing. In most cases for a man to declin a challenge was equivalent to self banishment from the esteem and as sociation of his friends-an ostracise which few men had the force of char acter to defy, and the greatness overshadow. But now the law look on duelling in a very different light and public opinion endorses the en forcement of the law, instead of up holding officers who were conveni ently ignorant when such things wer going on, and strangely indifferen afterwards.

People are more dis posed now to realize the fact that the killing of a man does not disprovi his words, nor does the better shoot ing of the other prove his honor. It seems incredible now that popular young society and busines men of Augusta should carry on i personal correspondencelooking to deadly meeting, which correspond ence, and its consideration by friend. covered two or three days, and wa known to the community; that thi correspondence should end in a mor tal combat in broad day light withi: four miles of this city; and that score or more of the friends of th parties should drive out to witness th meeting. I say it seems incredible now tha such a thing should happen, and ye this very thing did happen a littl less than fourteen years ago. And i is not improbable that the killing young Tilly aroused public sentimer to an appreciation of the horror duelling, and caused the lawmaker andthe people to demand of the put lie officers the prosecution of all fenders against the law.

Certain is that since the fatal meeting of Till and Rateliffe no duel has been fougl: on that famous field of honor-San Bar ferry. Several have since bee planned, but none fought. To show how far from being a sE cret meeting the Tilly and Ratelif duel was, I was speaking of it to prominent lawyer yesterday and as talked two others came up; all thre of them had been eye-witnesses the duel. As this deadly meeting we the last which ever took place at San Bar ferry, and it may be said to has marked the end of duelling in Geo. gia, I thought it might not be unit teresting to relate the details of tt meeting as told by men who wel there.

Mr. Tilly had heard of "rumo: detrimental to his character," repeate by Mr. Rateliffe. He Mr. Rateliffe his authority for then pronounced them "base, false, an malicious," and declared he "woul hold any man responsible for furthe repeating the slander." Mr.

Ratcli replied that the rumors came to ears as a "common report," and such was repeated. He declined 1 give any special authority for them.
