INSPECTS THE LIGHT INFANTRY
Col.
Obear Takes a Turn With the
Boys Here.
Col. W. G. Obear, inspector of state
troops, arrived in Americas at noon
yesterday upon his annual tour of in
spection, and last night put the usual
severe test to the Americas Light In
fantry at the armory.
The inspection was a lengthy one
bat quite satisfactory.
Captain Clarke had his fail company
ont, and more than fifty sturdy yonng
soldiers were lined np before the mili
tary inspector.
Col. Obear will file bis report at a
later date, but we venture nothing in
saying that the Americas Light Infan
try will rank up with the first. Nu
merically and otherwise, it is one of
tne best in the State.
Then, too, Col. Obear will today be
given the opportnnity oi seeing the
Light Infantry do active service, and
under severe strain.
The company goes to Andersonville
this morning to aid in maintaining
order among the hordes of tnrbnlent
negroes there, a test which always tries
their soldierly qualities.
But he will find them right on the
firing line whenever eailed upon.
Captain Clarke will carry fifty-six
men to Andersonville, each man carry
ing twenty rounds of ball cartridge.
Col. Obear will spend the day at An
dersonville with the Light Infantry
and tho Macon Hussars.
Sheriff Bell went up this morning on
the early train, carrying a strong arm
ed posse, and will be in command of
all the forces there today.
WHEN NATURE
Needs assistance it may be best to ren
der it promptly, but one Bhould rem
ember to use even the most perfect
remedies only when needed. The best
and most simple and gentle remedy is
tho Syrnp of Figs, manafactured by
the California Fig Syrup Co.
HAIL RUINED CORN AND COTTON
A Fearful Storm Sweeps Over the
Fifteenth.
The fearful hailstorm that swept
through tho Fifteenth district, between
Leslie and Do Soto, on Tuesday after
noon was more disastrous than first
reported, though the news brought
here then seemed bad enongh.
Crops on a dozen plantations were
entirely obliterated.
Farmers who came np yesterday
from that vicinity declare it the most
destructive storm that ever swept
across Sumter conuty.
Among the farmB hart worse were
the De Soto Plantation Co’s, J. M,
Summerford’s, J. O. McArthur’s, Mr
Renew's, A. S. Morgan and several
others. The owners of somo of these
places were in the pity yesterday
morning.
The story of complete destrnction
told is indeed distressing.
The hailstones fell with great farce
and fury, and in some fields covered
the ground completely or drifted in
hnge piles.
Ou several plantations thero is not
vestige of a cotton plant left, the fields
looking like a barren plain. Corn,
too, was hammered into shoestrings,
but hope is expressed that some of
this will grow ont.
The farmers are very much discour,
aged over their losses, but will go to
work and replant the ruined crops as
far as possible.
Robbed the Orave.
A startling inoident, of which Mr.
CALLED TO A FINAL REUNION.
Aged Confederate Answers Last Roll
Call.
Mr. W. W. McCrea, an aged resident
of Samter county, died yesterday
morning. May 28tb, at his homo near
Americas. The deceased had reached
the ripe age of seventy-four years and
was very generally esteemed. He
fonght through tho Civil War as a
member of Cutts’ Artillery and was a
brave soldier, going with that gallant
command into tho thick of many bard
fought battles. It is a coincidence that,
while his former comrades-in-arms are
attending the great annual reunion of
Confederates,this bravo old soldier an
swers the last bugle call and goes alone
to attend tho greater reunion ‘‘undor
tho sbado of the trees” whereare Jack-
son, Lee, his own commander, Cults,
and thousands who woro tho gray.
John Oliver of Philadelphia, was the
subject, It is narrated by him as follows
“I was in a most dreadful condition.
My sklu was almost yellow, eyes sunk-
en, tongue conted, pain continally in
the back and sides, no appetite—gradu
ally growing weaker day by day. Three
physicln s had given mo up. Fortunate
ly, a friend advised Hying ‘Eleotrlo Bit-
tors;’ and to my great joy nnd surprse,
the first bottle made a decided improve
ment. I continued their uao for three
weeks, aud am now awoll man. I know
they saved my life, and robbod tho grave
of another victim,'’ No cno should falf
to try them. Only 50 cents per bottle at
E. J. Eldridge’e Drug Store.
THIRD DAY IN SUMTER COURT.
Clegg-Whitley Case Occupies Entire
Day.
Yesterday’s session of superior court
was taken up entirely with the trial of
the Clegg-Whitley ease, which was on-
tared upon the days before,and a con
elusion may not be reached before this
morning. It will bo a difficult matter
to dispose of tbe many other civil cases
on the docket this week, ob proposed in
the beginning, though Judge Little
john may do it.
SHIPPING THE FIRST PEACHES,
Several Crates Will Go Forward This
Morning.
Col. Oliver returned here yesterday
from a stay of two weeks at Whito
Springe, Fla. and with sleeves roiled
np and a merry smile illammating his
ever cheerful countenance will begin
shipping peaches today. Col. Oliver
is interested in a large orchard near
Leesburg, and was in Amerions yes
terday looking for laborers to asbist in
caging the blushing Elbertas. Cal,
Oliver has never caged one of tbe real,
live “articles" by that name, it is trne,
but when it comes to orating Elberta
first shipment to Savannah today,, and
will load np his Americns friends
later.
