"We have been requested to ask ail who have been getting up lists of petitions for pro? hibition, to either send them directly to Rev. S. Lander, WUHamston, S. C., or turn them over to Wt F.

W. Moise, Hon. J. E. Tindal and Arthur Harrin, Esq., j have been invited to honor the occasion with addresses. Mrs. Tillman, the wife of Hon. Geo. D. j Tillman, of Edgeficld County, is a woman of j sterling worth. Owing to her husband's at- j tuition being so much occupied with his Con- j ! gressional duties, and other business, he is j I unable to look after his farming interest, and ? ; it is said that every morning Mrs. Tillman j I mounts her horse and personally superintends j the entire plantation. j A colo ed Sunday School gave a pic-nic at | ?

Zion Church, Darlington County, last j j week, and the exercises of the day closed j I with a public debate, the subject under dis- j j cussion being : '-Which ought to receive the j I most honor for leading the children of Israel j j to Canaau, Moses or Joshua?" After a j j sweated harangue, it was decided in favor of j j Moses. j I Prof. Sold?n (pronounced Sole-dan) s:iys i j if you wish to appear affected, you must say t I "St. Loa-ee;" but ifyoa desire to be sensible j j and purely American, you will say "St. j Lou-is." And Prof. Joyues says if the custom j prevails of saying, "It is me," for "It is I," j ! then "It is me" is correct, no matter what j our grammars may say to thc contrary. We j bare heard Joynes say stranger things than i this, but he is, nevertheless, an able scholar j j A competitive examination for eight benefi- j ! ciary scholarships from this State in the j I Nashville Normal Institute, is being held this j ! morning in Columbia, at the office of the State I i i Superintendent of Education. To the sue- ! ccssful competitors tuition at thc Institute is j free, and, in addition thereto, for the purpose of assis ti i-K in defraying their necessary ex? penses, each beneficiary receives from the Peabody fund, the sum of $200 annually. ~THE~PRESl:lb^?T7 -o The Doctors are Moving Him to Long Branch. The physicians carried into effect their plan of moving the President from the White House this morning, and at two minutes past eight Tom Scott's palace car passed Baltimore containing the President. It is to be sincerely hoped that the change from Washington to Long Branch will have the desired effect upon our almost lifeless President. j It is thought that this is thela3t resort, and j if this fails to benefit the President, the doc- j tors will be at their row's end. It will be a j miracle if he recovers, but the Nation will i pray and hope to the last. The following | telegram received from Baltimore, is the latest: j BALTIMORE, MD., Sept. 6, 1881. | The train with the Presideut passed Union j Depot at 8.02 A. M. The President has stood the fatigue of his ! travel, up to this hour, with remarkable for- j titude. His pulse is even less frequent than it was before leaving Washington. It is now 106 The arrangement is so complete in every respect that the inconvenience to the Presi? dent is reduced almost to a minimum. The bed upon which he is now lying is so carefully adjusted that the vibration is hard? ly noticeable. The train rau from Washing? ton to Baltimore at an average speed of thirty miles per hour. It is found that this rate of j speed causes less annoyance to the President than if it was reduced one half. At 7 o'clock the President took three ounces of beef tea, with relish. BLISS & 'O?hERS. Corn. The demand for corn and meal in the Wil- j mington market for some time past has been i almost unprecedented, and thc mills hate '? been unable to keep up with their orders, j Meal sold in Wilmington last week at $1.05 j to Si.10 per bushel. The Star iu its market j report of Saturday did not quote the price of j corn, as the market was bare of it. We are I authoritatively informed, however, by Messrs. j 3. F. Mitchell ? Son, that they have 8,000 J bushels of prime white milling corn bought, j and are daily speeling the arrival of a cargo ,! of 4,000 bushels. See their advertisement. i The New Road. ! From all accounts the work on the S. C. ] Central Railroad bas been pushed forward t more rapidly than was expected at the outset, j From eight to nine hundred hands are at work grading, cutting cross-ties and getting \ oct timber for the Black River trestle. Last . v.eek the work of taking up the old iron and j putting down the new steel rails ou the lower j end heretofore run by Messrs. Laud & Pritch- j ett, from Lanes to Foreston, was begun, and j on Saturday night several miles had been completed. Mr. J. D. Hardin, who commenced work three weeks ago at Turkey Creek, ou the j Sumter end of the line, has finished more than half of his eleven miles contract. i Mr. Charlie Croghan informs us that the ; hands are getting used to the Railroad work, ? und their time is now being utilized to the ' greatest advantage. Mr. Croghan left Sum- j ter last Thursday night for Marion, in search ; of more hands. ! - M-? ?? - ?I -- Furman University. The Trustees of Ftirman University, Green- '? ville, mel in this city yesterday, and decided ! to re-open the institution on or before the first ! of October. Dr. Charles Manly, of Greenville I tvas unanimously elected President, and pro- j vision was made for the employment of a full j corps of professor?, with a preparatory j department. The Trustees further decided to ? abolish the plan offree tuition, which has been ( in operation for the past five years, and here- I , after moderate charges will he made for tui- .? tiouin the collegiate and preparatory depart- ! ' raents. Dr. Manly is energetic, capable -and j J popular, and bi> acceptance of the position to ? ] which he has been elected will beget renew- j ? ed confidence among the people, by whom he . . is greatly beloved wherever lie is known, j ' The prospects of Furman University will j brighten under his administration, aud the j j cause of higher education in the State will be ! ? largely developed by this increased prosperity j , of the University, which is under thc patron- j age of the largest denomination in South ? , Carolina.- CohnrMa Register. -.Mmm*~ -mmm-- - - Ayer!?

TO OUR 6,000 READERS. -o A great many of you are coming to tov soon to sell your cotton and other prodiu Your wives and daughters, by the hundre havebeen reading the Watchman and Southrc and have been attracted by the advertisii cards which are found in our columns. No there arc some things to be said about o advertising patrons which they are too tim to say for themselves, and, in their interei wc have determined to give a kind of sui mary of what they have and what they offi so that when you come to town you ni: know where to go and how you will treated. To the best of our knowledge > can say, we are not advertising forany bog concerns, nor is lhere a single "dcad-heac card in our paper, and we can confident recommend every firm whose name appea *!n our columns, as just and honorable. V shall not attempt an alphabetical arrangemec but take up thc cards in the order in whit they are given in the paper, and shall seek avoid any invidious comparison : J. THEO. SOLOMONS comes first. Theo, is a shoot of thc pare stem, but is doing a good business, and seel to "toat fair." You can get from him almo anything you want, and he will smile upc you. Beside his oiher efficient clerks, a cai in our paper informs us that he has just et ployed Mr. F. A.Tradewell, who will dor he can to please you. KYTTENBERG k SONS also puts in an appearance, playing two can in this issue They have a large new stor the amplest in town, and over a half score > clerks and salesmen await the orders of ll visitor. They want to show you theirgood even if you do not buy. We heartily advi. you to visit them. Sell them your cotton an take their goods in return. If they do n< please you, it will be your -ault. '-And don you forget it." COL. T. Y. WALSH figures extensively iu our columns, thoug you do not see his name. All the estate n< tices, applications for final discharges, an the like, emanate from his office. The Colon is an able officer, and should be kept in pk? until ordered out by the great Disposer of a trveuts. TnE SUMTER PARK AND AGRICULTl RAL ASSOCIATION occupies about a third of a column, and Mi C. II. Moise, as Secretary, is working hard t get up increased interest in the approachin Fair. We advise you to read the card, confi with him if you need further informatior He seems to be in "dead earnest." I). J. WINN k CO., are prominent in two places. D. Jas. Win informs us that having been elected Presiden and Treasurer of the Bellcmonte Cotton Man ufacturing Co., he finds that he has enough t do, and has left the large clothing business ii the hands of David J. Winn and LeGrand W. Joye. These gentlemen are daily at thei posts, nnd with eificient clerks, carry on th largest clothing business in Sumter. W. F. ?. HAYNSWORTH, our genial County Treasurer, advertises Ta: Receipts for sale, and if you wish to avu'n trouble and penalty, we advise you to rea< his card. It will not appear many more tirr^g THE SUMTER INSTITUTE also makes its announcement. The exercise of this school will be resumed on the lCih and we know you cannot find any bette school to which you can send your girls. Al information will be furnished on application Before your daughter marries, you must cer tainly give her a chance to acquire an educa tion, and as marriage, like death, is uncer? tain, we advise you to send them along righi now. DR. A. J. CHINA is out before the people, and for neatness ol arrangement and ampleness of stock, we send you to him. Ask especially for his celebrated 2905 Medicine, lt comes highly recommended for various diseases. But if you don't want this, you can get almost anything else, from a Powhattan pipe to Hpstettor's Bitters. DR. J. A. MOOD has a card anaouncing his business. Tho Dr. is getting into a good practice, and, now in hi? absence, we take pleasure in commend? ing him to our community asa genial and well-informed gentleman. J. M. WILDER, our Sheriff* from time to time, figures exten? sively in onr columns, the Watchman and Southron being the official County organ : but as the Sheriff"s advertisements ?re commonly unpleasant to read, we will pass him, hoping that he may never put your name to one of his levies. G. W. REARDON offers a commodious store at Wedgefield for rent, and also says he has building lots for sale on terms to suit purchasers. These lots are situated on the continuation of Republi? can street to Green, and are in a.very desira? ble section of the town. HA RB Y BROS. put in a card advertising Hay anti Horses. Now you are compelled to have both, and why not give them a trial ? They are both genial and pleasant to deal with, and will do their best to send you away satisfied with your bargain. A. A.SOLOMONS is in our columns just as be is everywhere else, and bas contracted for a half column for the year. We do not propose to try to tell you half he offers for sale. Suffice it to say, he is now in New York, and daily ships to Suinter large consignments of goods. His grocery is now in the rear end of his store, and the middle section is being fust filled up with a large stock of clothing and furnishing goods. Go there and you will be welcomed and well attended to. ALTAMONT MOSES now wears a white bat; hut is not afraid to say he bought a large stock of goods while in the North last month. These are shown np a la mode, in the corner store owned by Baron Cohen Wilson, which store on the cor? ner of Main and Liberty streets, is now re? modeled from cellar to garret, and looks as fresh as a morning glory. Mr. Darby wili always be there to initiate you into the vari? ous degrees of his order. ANTHONY WHITE puts in an appearance, advertising his Insur? ance business. Now that winter and fire are coming, don't fail to take out a policy. A man can laugh at thc flames if his house is insured. You may have to cry if yours is not. Go to Mr. White. MESSRS. P. k A. J. MOSES are now occupying the stables "of Mr. Elli?, but will soon move into a large structure just erected on Liberty street. They offer now vehicles for hire at moderate rates, and say thal in due season they will have a full line of sale stock on hand. We believe what they sav. J I). CRAIG wears a perpetual smile, except when he is fixing up a coffin. We hope he may not have to put one in order for von or voursin a lou": time: but if you need such a box, go to Craig's. A few days ago, he received 300 I bedsteads which he offers to sell at $2.75 and j upwards. Along with these he offers every- j thing in his line from a full stock. THOMAS C. SC AFFE has put a stove in our paper to attract your; sye. He is called the "Sumter Stove Man," j *ud we guess the one who named him thus, knew what he was doing. We know certain? ly that he has a large stock of goods. His j ?toreseems to groan under i's burden. Mr. A. 1 T. Darby has been engaged to clerk foi him, j md we advise you to give him a trial. His j line of lamps is extra good, and will soon' iiavc a first class gun-smith to repair your ! guns. T. 0. WROTEN lias his name before the people, and he is no i humbug. His harness is handmade in every ' stitch, and he warratta it for a ycir. His ! business is rapidly increasing, and we are cer- j taiu he will do the fair thing by you. If he 1 ioesn't, your complaint will be the first wei aave heard. THUS. P. MCQUEEN whose card we publish, is an alfie teacher, and deserves the support of our community. His school is now open, and his terms are moder? ate. W. M. GRAHAM, has enlarged his stables, and is offering every? thing in his line-horses, mules, buggies, carriages, wagons. The Old Hickory is his favorite. It has wrought axles instead of cast, and he will give a guarantee if you re? quire it. His buggies ar? of various makes, and we know it will pay you to give him a visit; but we won't argue the case as we fee! you will go there anyhow. J. E. SUA RES show? up his hand also every week. He offers furniture of all kinds, window-shadei, wall? paper, picture frames, looki-g-glasses, mat? tresses, ?nd all goods kept in his line. He also repairs furniture on short notice. He say6 his business is increasing, aud we guess he knows. BULTMAN k BRO., have received and are yet receiving shoe3 for the whole County. They can give you a fit nt your own price, and have the largest stock they have ever put on their shel ve?. They all come from Der Vaterland; but are now citi? zens of our commonwealth. Go in and hear them tell about their goods. J. F. \V. DELORME is not behind thc times in his line. ??c is prompt, punctual and patient. His stock is continually receiving additions, and we know from our own experience that he will deal satisfactorily with you. We hope you won't need any medicine ; but if you do, you can get any thing from Dr. DeLorrae. He also has a full linc of garden seeds for Fall plant? ing. . C. H. MOISE still holds forth in the Mayrant building, and there offers to insure property and lives in the best Insurance Companies in the world. Also to adjust books, buy and sell Real Estate, draw titles, bonds, mortgages and leases, and to perform the duties of a Notary Public. Thus have we laid before you twenty-five of Sumter's business houses. More than six thousand of you will read this paper. In be? half of these firms we ask for your trade and patronage. "Wc do not think they will de? ceive you in any particular, and we know they desire you to visit them. If you go to them through our recommendation, and they wrong you, we will guarantee an adjustment of the wrong. Other cards will appear in our paper soon, of which a word in season will bc said.
