Our New~ Advertisements. the Final Notice" of Baldwin & Co., pub? lished in another column by Mr. Thos. W. Carwile, is quite interesting. Mr. C. say3 he means business, and we guess he does. Hart and Co., of Charleston, have put in a j showing in this issue, of their agricultural j implements. This is an old house and needs j no commendation further than it has establish- j cd for itself. Ryttenberg& Sons have put a new feature j to their business by their departure in the j carpet line. If you want a carpet, just read j their advertisement. Then go buy. Altamont Moses shows a new hand in this j issue. He advertises all mannerof goods and has them on band accordiogly. Yon cannot do better than by trading with him. The Ladies of South Carolina are addressed through the Watchman and Southron, by Mr. R. M. Mclntire of Wilmington. To these who need anything in his line we take plea ttre in saying that we know Mr. Mclntire personally, and that he is one of the most agreeable men in business that we have ever J meet. He keeps a good Stock. An advertisement of the old and popular j .Grocerv house of the Thurbers, of New York, ! I appears in this issue. We call the attention of our readers to thp j advertisement of J. Monroe Taylor. This house has been established nearly 40 years, and their goods are celebrated for purity and strength. We would recommend a trial of j their Gold Medal brands to all who desire superior cookery. Mi i ? tm Dr. Edward Solomons ha? gone to Atlanta to exhibit his fly and mosquito repulser. Thanks to Congressman Richardson for j Washington papers. The Charleston prices for cotton do not seem to regjfc^te the Sumter prices. W?icl pigeons have been seen in flocks on ! our suburbs. Married Dec. 4th, at Macksville, Sumter j County, by Rev. Nelson Brown, Mr. Wm. j Childers, of Fulton, to Mrs. Emma Johnson, j Marriages ! marriages ! and *':still there's i more to follow." Our head swims, and our ! eyes grow weak ! Mr. Luther Benson honored us with a visit i while in Sumter. We found bim to be a i modest and unpretentious gentleman, earnest- j ly seeking to benefit his fellow-creatures, I Mrs. Zerena Lesesne. wife of Mr. J. I. j Lesesne, of Bethel neighborhood, died on j Monday, the 5th, from consumption, after a i long illness. She leaves three children. J The K. of H. are to have an Oyster Supper i on Monday night. We look for a good atten-1 dance on that night. Oysters draw power- ? fully. The Liverpool and London and Globe I Insurance Company has issued a handsome I Calendar for ISS2, for a copy of which Mr. i C. H. Moise, Agent, has our thanks. Schwerin has turned out in a new role, and I on next Monday night will send up a balloon, j for the amusement of the community. The j balloon is a very pretty one, and, when infla- j ted, is 20 feet high. _ It carries a basket, and j from time to time it witsend up rockets in its ! flight. The ascension;, will take place at 8 i o'clock on Monday night-S o'clock sharp. i Complaint is being made of the public high- j way being obstructed by the W. C. & A. ] trains. A physician being called to a patient j beyond the Depot, was delayed twenty min- j ntes before be could get across the railroad, j We suggest that the town authorities look j into this matter, and require the trains to un ! couple every five minutes. We hear that j there is a law which may compel then to this, j On Tbarsdav last a gentlemen from the ! country while riding, through Republican j street, received a painful injury from a sling- I shot in the hands of some unknown party, probably a scholar of the- school near by. ! The shot inflicted a severe contusion upon the ; gentlemn's forehead, and had it not been for j the interposition of bis hat which was pulled j low down over his face, it might have been j serious. We would suggest that Maj. Dur- I ham taboo the use of .sling-shots among his i pupils, and that the police keep a vigilant I lookost for these baneful toys. One of the most delightful weddings of the j season took place on last. Wednesday evening j at the residence of the bride's uacle, Dr. W. ' W. Anderson, Sr., tbe.Rev. John Kershaw of Beaufort officiating. The bride was Miss ! Sallie G. Anderson, the daughter of the late i Gen. Dick Anderson.' and the groom W. D. j Blancing, Esq., of our town. A reception j was given to the bridal party on the follow- j ing Friday evening at "The Ruins," tho rcsi- j dence of Mr. Richard I. Manning. It was j described by those who were present, as the j most brilliant affair of the kind which has ! transpired in our county for many years. Our yoong townsman, Mr. McFaddin j Spann, left for Yorkville yesterday mrrning, j in coonany with two other young gentlemen j iff.

The show will stop here two or? three days, while the trucks are being chang- j ed, but will not give an exhibition, as the j weathei will be too cold.

LUTHER BENSON. -o Large audiences filled the Baptist Church and Music Hall on Sunday and Monday even? ings last to hear the noted temperance lectu? rer, Luther Benson. For nearly four hours those audiences gave thc most rapt attention, the vivid word pictures of which Mr. Beuson has the art of drawing in a masterly way. To attempt to describe his lectures would be to do him injustice. To portray the lofty height of his impassioned eloquence or the ir? resistibility of his overpowering humor ; to depict the varied emotions which chased one another through the mind of the audience would be simply impossible. We endorse the j opinion of those who have ranked him among I the most gifted temperance orators of the day. His autobiography "Fifteen Years in Hell," is a well written book portraying in the most vivid manner the wretchedness, of a dissolute life and the fearful horrors of delirium tre? mens. Numbers of copies were sold. Mr. Benson leaves for Florence to-day where he expects to lecture upon thc same subject. Christmas Holiday. Cannot the Merchants give Monday, the 26th day of December, as a Holiday? There j will be but little doing anyhow, and the continual demands for Christmas gifts, will i be avoided, thereby saving the merchants j much annoyance. There ought to be some holiday during the year, and but for the untimely death, and burial of the late Presi? dent, there would have been no holidays given this year, unless the 26th be one. We hope to see all places of business closed on that day, and that the merchants will give timely notice to that effect. We offer to make such announcement free for all who desire to close on that day. A. It. H. The Secretary of the Sumter Council, A. L. H., was authorized at the last meeting to notify the members of the action of the Council with reference to imposing fines for non-at? tendance, and he takes this method of do? ing so. Section 5, of the By-laws reads: The fine for non-attendance, except for officers, shall be ten cts.. payable at the end of each quarter; j and if not paid, the member shall be suspend- I ed the same as for dues. This by-law shall i take effect after January 1, 1382. Section 8, has reference to officers, and j reads: The officers of this Council shall bel elected under the provisions of the Constitu- { tion providing for the same, and any officer j failing to* attend promptly all regular meet-j ings of Council during his term of office with- j out satisfactory excuse, shall be fined in the j sum of 50 cts., at the discretion of the Coun- ! eil ; and any officer failing to appear at i three successive regular meetings, shall be I notified by the Secretary lo appear at the next ' meeting, and render his excuses if any, fail- j ng to do which or to report in writing over j his signature, the fine shall be assessed and ! entered against him for absence at such three j meetings : and all the officers of tins Council, j except those paid for their services, shall re- . ceive25cts., for each meeting attended by j : them to be paid out of the fund of this Conn- j eil at the close of each quarter. This by-law j shall go into effect on January 1,18S2. Masonic Election. At the regular communication of Bishop- j ville Lodge, No. 104, A.- F.-. M.-., held Dec. j 2d, ISSI, the following named Brethren were j elected and on the 9th, installed, as officers to | serve during the ensuing masonic year: Bro. R. Y. McLEOD, W. M. t? W. A. JAMES, S.

HOLLAND, Tyler. Death of an Aged and Faithful j Colored Person. Eliza Yates, known as Eliza Green, died at j the residence of her son-in-law, Wesley Wes- ? berry, Mcehanicsrille, Sumter County, Nov. j lttb, *ged about 78 years. She was an hum- j ble Christian, respected and beloved by all ; who knew her. Her attachment for those she j had served, was proverbial and continued to j the last. Her end was peace ! Truly "She laid het bead on Jesus' breast. And breathed her life out sweetlv there." i Judge Witherspoon. The Hon. I. D. Witherspoon, who has j been elected Judge of the Sixth Judical j Circuit, was born in York ville. S. C., on Feb- i ruary 8, 1S33. was graduated at the South j Carolina College in December, 1854. and was j admitted to the Bar in 1856. Judge Witherspoon entered the State ser- j vice as Lieutenant in the Twelfth Regiment, j S. C. V., in August. 1861, and served on the j coast until March, 1862, when he was appoint- ' ed Post Commissary at Columbia, on which J duty he remained until the end of the war. j In 1876 Judge Witherspoon engaged ardent- j ly in politics, and was elected Senator from j York County, which was then carried by the j Democrats. So acceptable was his conduct j that he was re-elected without opposition last j year. In 1878 be was elected Democratic . County Chairman, which position he still j holds. I In the Senate Judge Witherspoon has been ! a member of the Judiciary Committee. He was a member of the Board of Commissioners to settle the State debt, a most arduous under? taking. He was a member of the Commission appointed at the last session of the Legislature ? to suggest amendments to the Constitution of the State, and he is, at present, President pro tempore of the Senate. In every station Judge Witherspoon has given entire satisfaction, and his scrupulous j fairness is universally recognized. With his' experience at the Bar in public affairs, such ! a man cannot fail to prove a most excellent i representative of the majesty of the law on the j bench. Peterson's Magazine.

Intendant Readon, of Sumter, is now in Charleston in the interest of a projected road j from Sumter to thc Wat tree junction, dij- j tance fifteen miles, where connection is made- i with the South Carolina Railroad. This was j the line of the Wilmington and Manchaster j Railroad, and was abandoned by that road's j successor, the Wilmington, Columbia and \ Augusta Railroad, which built a new line to Columbia direct, instead of running t.. Waterec junction and Ringville. The old road bed is little injured, and the calculation is that the whole expense of completing the > line will not exceed $30.000 or?40,000. The j people of Sumter complain that the railroad j rates to that town arc unreasonably high and j that they are cut off from Charleston. Inten? dant Reardon says they do not expect the j Central Railroad (from Sumter to L?ne's) j now nearing completion tb improve their con? dition, and tbr.t they want a competing lin*. Sumter is prepared to subscribe $15;000 .0 bonds toward the cost of building the road to the Waterce junction, and it is thought in? dividuals will subscribe $5,000 more. Inten dent Reardon is acting by authority of the Town Council, and is confident that he can satisfy the South Carolina Railway and the the citizens of Charleston that it is to their in? terest to take up the project, and, at a small cost, acquire the trade of town of Sumter, which is very considerable and valuable. News and Courier. Beat His Son to Death. Sn ELBY, N. C., December 10.-Amos Horn, colored, aged forty, caused the death of his son Burt Horn, aged sixteeD, by kicks and j blows with a walking stick and wagon whip. The boy was buried yesterday, but his body was exhumed by the coroner's jury to-day and an examination shows the stomach, spleen and liver bruised and swollen. The father was incarcerated to-day. The negroes are excited and swear vengeance. -^mt ? ? mmm Talk of a -Republican Conference at Columbia. [Special Dispatch to the News and Courier.] COLUMBIA, December 9.-Outside of the General Assembly the Capital is excessively i dull. The State Grange has adjourned sine ; die, and the United States Court adjourned ! to-day. One of the political rumors current is that . a conference is to be held in this city, in ! February, of the prominent Republican leaders j in the State, to take steps for the thorough reorganization of the Radical party and to j devise some plan for the conduct of the next j campaign. Prominent men from other States ! will be present, and such assurances of money | and sympathy have been given as to encour- j nge the old leaders io make an effort to revive the party. It is proposed to draw ali dis- ! affected Democrats into the movement, and j Registration and the Stock and Lien laws, ; now under discussion and upon which ! measures the Democrats are badly divided, > are expected to be prominent planks in the j next republican platform. To better insure 1 the success of the movement United States j marshals and commissioners will he appointed ! in every county, and sufficient Federal inter- j terence wiil be invoked to perfect the scheme j find solidify the voting strength of the Re- I publican organization. This is a rumor, but it seems well founded, j Prominent Republicans admit that a confer- j ence has been spoken of, but decline to give j the precise date of its meeting. Peeble Ladies.
