L We have been informed, by a gen
tleman living near Smith rifle, that on
Sunday laat a band of 48negToes, moot
of whom were armed, arrested two white
boys, respectively named Jos. Ward and
Jack Scarborough, on account of some
misunderstanding on the part of the boys
with a negro man. After threatening to
kill the boys they carried them to the
woods and kept them bound and guard
ed during the day, awaiting the arrival of
the leader of the* band. Their chief not
arriving and the night having set in, the
negroes consulted as to the mode of dis
posing of their prisoners. Some were
for killing them on the spot, bat the ma
jority were in favor of releasing them on
being paid one hundred dollars, adding
that if the chief was there they would be
compelled to pay $1,000. The boys fear
ing that they might be murdered if they
did not agree to the terms, paid $14 in
cash, all they had on hand, a cow and calf
and promised to work for any person the
negroes would designate and let them re
ceive their wages until the balance o! the
ransom was paid. They were then al
lowed to depart, and ore now, we under
stand, working under contract to pay
the negroes.
The above happened in the 17th dis
trict of Sumter county, but we are dis
posed to discredit the story as a week has
elapsed since it occurred and no mention
made of it, wo will await nntil the
matter bos been investigated before com

An examination of this magazine shows
that it is a model number in every respect.
The engravings are excellent,the descrip

the stories are remarkable for their inter

then there is a Christmas story, fall of

love stories which will bear perusal half
a dozen times, and "Lost and Found”
is a regular California tale, by a new as
pirant for fame in the columns of Ballon.
In addition to thia there are many articles
worth reading, in the shape of sketches,
poetry, etc., etc., and all for the sum of
15 cents per copy, or $1.50 per year. The

Mb. Editob : Onr young friend James
Callwaay Esq., after a critical examina
tion upon the various titles of the Law,
was admitted to the bar on last Friday
morning. His clear and sensible answers
to the Attorneys evinced close study and
excellent judgment
This young gentleman is courteous in
manner, of genial disposition, and may
be justly commended os worthy beyond
his years of patronage and trust
The law is a jealous mistress and more
effectually than all other professions
guards herself from imposters, and we
have no doubt of Mr. Callaway’s success,
for all present indications give promise
of flattering fruition. SENEX.

the artistic skill and ability of Messrs.
Blackshear & Laramore which, in

is true of all their work. Their pictures
are the most life-like and perfect than

cause of surprise, as they devote them
selves to the study of their profession
with the assiduity that cannot be resisted
and which will ultimately place them at
the head of their profession. Onr citi-

these gentlemen, as they are young men

he never received.
We have also examined his file of news

proposes to renovate old feather beds
That is he will cleanse the feathers and
purify them by means of steam. Onr

cleansed can have it done with very little
cost. As a matter of health and comfort
wonld advise all of our friends to have
their beds renovated, both feathers and
cotton. Mr. D. will remain in Americas
» short while, and asks only a trial of his
process of cleansing beds, which bo ii
confident cannot be equaled. Ho bears
testimonials from many of tho prominent
citizens of the State to that effect.

£Sy*In another column will be fonnd
the card of Mr. T, E. Dalwick proposing
to renovate feather beds, which he does
by a steam apparatus. We have seen two
beds cleansed by this process and think
it is the most complete operation known.
The feathers when put in the renovater
were in lumps and stuck together; when
taken out they presented a fine and new
appearance, and were free from all dis
agreeable odors peculiar to feather beds
after long use, and their bulk seemed
greatly increased. This is the most ef
fectual way to renovate beds that have
been used by *dieased persons. Those of
citizens who wish to have their beds
mode new will certainly be accommodat
ed if they will send them to Mr. Dalwick
at the old Americas Hotel. Below we
print a letter recommending the Reno
vator :
Hawkinsvzllb, Go., May 2,1870.
Bbo. Edwin Your letter in relation to
the renovation of old feathers has been
received. The gentleman in your place
renovated an old bed for me which
seemingly as good now as a new one,
(done one year ago). I saw Cob O. O.
Horne in regard to the same matter. He
states that the same man renovated some
for him. He is well pleased with it, and
does not think it will injure tbe feathers.
Neither do I. I have not seen Bozeman,
bnt Mrs. Bozeman told my wife that she
was well pleased with hers. It will do.

Americus, Ga., Nov. 15 th, 1870.
Mr. Editor, Dear Sir:—Noticing in
your paper the Presentments of- the
Grand Jury of Sumter Superior Court-of
last week, calling attention to the failure
by the Sheriffs of said county, as far _ . „ '^***" 7 * w v,< *°
fawsk as 1865, to make entries upon the
Sheriff's docket of fi. fas. which has been T m
turned over to them by the Clerk o^the Su
perior Court, See. Although I do not sup
pose the Grand Jury intended to do me
any injustice, yet, ns this was a general
term, including all the Sheriffs, and I be
ing tbe present incumbent, would be tbe
•reHkely to suffer in the estimation of
the people. I have therefore, in order
that I mny be set right, requested two
lawyers, W. A. Hawkins, and J. A. Ans-
ly, Esqrs., who are entirely familiar, with
such matters, to take the Clerks docket,
aud the Sheriffs docket, and compare the
interest of each separate esse, and I here
with, present you below tbeir certificate,
which show -on entire correspondence
with the Clerks docket, except one case,
therein mentioned, which I led perfectly
assured, never came into my hands, to
wit: Bradford Wells, Sc Co., vs. T. B.
Daniel. I was absent at home with my
sick wife at the regular October term, of
said Court. At the adjourned term of
last week, I proposed to the Committee,
who had been appointed by the Grand
Jury to inspect the books of tbe county
officers, to inspect my docket, but they
informed mo they had already made out
their report, and did not care to change it
As I knew my docket to have been
fairly kept, I urged and solicited an in
vestigation. I presume therefore, that
whatever investigation - the committee
hod of the sheriff’s docket, that the in
vestigation did not extend to my term of
office, bat as their charges were general,
I deemed it necessary to moke the above
showing. As to the files of {papers con
taining the advertisements, although but
few of our sheriff’s, I am informed,
kept them, yet if the committee had have
called upon me I could have presented

an to improve, my cough became less so*

gradually subsided, my rheumatic pains less

PERRY DAVIS’ PAIN KILLER
Has become an article of commerce—which no
medicine ever became before. It la as much an
item in every bill of goods sent to country mer
chants as tea, coffee or sugar. Tin* speaks vol-
mea in its favor.—Glens’ Falls Messenger.
Rev. H. L. Vanmeter, Barm ah, writes, “The
‘ain Killer has become an almost indispensible
rticle in my family.”
Hundreds of missionaries give similar testi-
lony of its virtnes.
Rev. J. G. Stearns writes, “I consider tho best
emedy I know of for dyspepsia.
Rev. Jabez L. Swan says, “1 have naed it for
ears in my family, and consider it an invalua-
lo remedy.”
ltev. M. H. Bixby writes, “I have had occa-
ion to uso tho Psin Killer very frequently dnr-
Hurley’s Ague Tonic. —Those afflicted
with the Fever and Ague, will be profit
ed by rending the testimonials, iu anoth
er column, of the superiority of the above
infallible medicine, in the permanent
cure of this detestible disease. Messrs.
Jas. Ruddle & Co., proprietors, have
thousands of testimonials from physicians
who use it in their practice, and those
who have beeu cured of the different
forms of Ague. The orders of this firm
are very large from all parts of the country,
for their popular goods, and they can be
found in almost any country ’town in the
whole country. Their list comprises
Hurley’s Compound Syrup Sarsaparilla,
Hurley’s Stomach Bitters, Hurley's

HURLEY’S AGUE TONIC.
NO ARSENIC—NO MERCURY.
PERFECTLY RELIABLE!
The onlyremedy for Chills *nd Fovor or
Ague and Fever, that is or can be depended up
on ia Hurloy*B Ague Tonic. There have been
thousands cared by using it who have tried the
aal remedies without benefit.
To Dr. Thos. A. Hurley: I hereby certify that
during the last year I was attacked with the
agne while in Vicksburg, Miss., and used sever
al popular patent medicines with but temporary
relief. On reaching home the discaso returned
in a worse type, if possible, when my medical
attendant ordered quinine, fa large doeee. fre
quently aa high aa 60 grains per day, and which
1 have cost mo nearly 3100. I consulted Dr.
ti, ot Louisville, and found he prescribed
quinine and arsenic, combined, wluoh I refused
to take, preferring to let the disease take its
course. I wss almost bloodless, extremely ex
hausted, and pronounced with enlarged liver
and spleen. About this time the advertisemeitf
of Hurley's Agne Tonic appeared in a city papet,
and I determined to give it a trial. I did ao, and
have no reason to regret it. One bottle restored
me completely, and since that time I have aeen
nearly a hundred cases iu which it acted with
equally happy result*, and wonld certainly re
commend it as preferrable to any other,tonic be
fore the public. J axes Mjlutis, Engineer.

MRS. E. C. SPAULDING,
The public Roads and Bridges, so far as we
havo been able to asoertain, are good, except
the road and bridge across Muclcaloochs creek
near Well’s Mills, which we learn is impassable
ford loaded wagon. We request this matter
looked into by the proper authorities withoat
delay and tho nocessary steps taken for im
provements.
The Jail wo fiud in good repair and well kept;
but wo wonld suggest that limo or sorao other
disinfectant be used which in our opinion wonld
add to tho healthf ulucas of the place.
Wo find tho Court House needing some slight
repairs which should bo attended to before they
get worse.
The books of our various County officers we
find neatly and intelligently kept, except thoso
of the Sheriff’s office, which we do not think are
k ept in accordance with the law. We find fi fas
have been handed out by the Clerk to the Sher
iff which do not appear on his books, neither do
we find any public Gazette in his office contain
ing liia advertisements and sales as required by
tho Code § 397.
Wo request the proper authority to take no-
tico of these Commissions and look close to his
books, duty, and the law as for back aa 1865.
Deputy Sheriff Filsbury’s books, as shown as
by him, are correctly kept
We find in the hands of the Connty Treasurer
$917 57, bnt from the imperfection of the former
system of giving orders we cannot arrive at any
Idea of the present indebtedness of the connty.
We found in his hands of county scrip $189 90
and $5210 new issue; this amount upon an or
der from the Ordinary, we havo received and
burned, receipting the Treasurer therefor.
We tender our thanks to His Honor, J. M.
Class, for the able and impartial manner in
which ho has administered tbe law, and to So
licitors WnnxLxt and Bsowx, for their kind and
prompt attention reddered ns as a body.
