Albert Weeks and pilgert Brad well were driving along the Pri ' ?steer road about 8 miles below Sumter, they and the horse, were struck by lightning. When they came to consciousness they discov? ered that they had been thrown out of and sev? eral feet from the wagon, and that it and the harness were norlin the least injured, bot that the norse was stone dead-evidently killed in? stantly.. . They say bow long they lay. on the ground unconscious, can only be approximated by the amount of rain which had just commenced to fall when they were strack, and when they came to, rv bad-stopped, and that, from all appearances, it, could not have rained more than half an hour. The legs and feet of both these gentlemen are severely bruised, the bruises on the legs haring a blood-shot appearance. The hair on the legs of each is completely singed off j wherever the lightning touched it. Mr. Weeks asd Mr. Bradwell further state that it was with the greate?; difficulty and pain, after they came tb themselves, that they could move any of their limbs. We are informed that about three years ago a man and Iiis mule were killed' by lightning yery near this sum? spot where Messrs. Weeks and Bradwtil so narrowly escaped on yester? day: 1 * * - Heaths. The wife of Mr. P. A. Sanders, of Rafton Creek, died on last Thursday. Mrs. Jane Logan, wife ef Mr. Eiram .'Hv Logan, of Lower S&lemy.died on last Toes day, the 13th instant, aged 77 years. Mr. Jesse H. Windham, formerly of this opiac?, and brother of Mr. Jos. M. Windham and of Mrs. Wm. Chandler, died at HartsviUe,; Darlington County, on May 20th. : Mr. John M. Copeland, about 20 years of age, soo of the late John Copeland, died last Sunday at the residence of Mr. Daniel Joye, in the Bishopville neighborhood, from Ty? phoid fever. Sad Death of a Mexican Veteran. Mr. SlomanB. Moody, of Rafton Creek, was thrown from his buggy at Catchall yesterday afternoon at five o'clock, and instantly killed. He had been to Sumter, and was on his way home, in company with bis brother. The mule they were driving became frightened and jumped to one side, throwing Mr. Moody out upon his head, causing concussion of the .praia. Mr. Moody was a good citizen and has been ror many years a cripple from a wound received in the Mexican war, through which he served in the famous Palmetto Regiment. Burnt to Death by Kerosene. Last Friday night- between 10 and ll o'clock, two children, (about 3 and 5 years, old,) of a colored woman living in the upper' ^part of town,* were burnt to death;. The moth? er had gone to church, leaving the two" unfortunate creatures to the care of the two eldest children who, in preparing to cook some bread, started the fire by pouring some oil out of the kerosene can on the wood, and, after which, thoughtlessly set the can in- the. corner of the chimney. While the bread was -being cooked, the two youngest went to sleep in front of the fire place, and consequently, when the caa exploded, they vere in the best position to be completely covered bytthe burn? ing fluid. The sight of the poor little suffering vic? tims, roasted and almost charred, were heart? rending and called forth sympathies that were unavailing. The youngest child died about half an hour after tbe explosion-, and theo ther early Saturday morning. Another awful warning to those in the hab? it of leaving kerosene in the reach of children who have not arrived at years of discretion. Saturday's Sensation. At about 12 M., on Saturday, R. D. Reed, the negro aspirant for the Sumter Post Office, followed by a boy ringing a bell," proceeded to a bench in front of the* Court House, with the intention of makin* a speech. The ring? ing of the bell soon attracted a crowd of whites and blacks, and Reed* commenced by saying, "the Sumter crank is on the stand." From this he proceeded to lay charges against certain republicans who have had virtual control of the Joint Stock Store. "White Republicans,", said he, "stick jclose to' the nigger because they think they can get some money out of them, while mulatto- Republi? cans, who are going around saying they will sacrifice their lives for the Republican party, want .to fill their pockets, and that is ali." . Hereupon Reed proceeded to attack Sam Lee, saying the penitentiary will catch him when he comes from Washington. His effort to prove Lee's dishonesty was based upon certain mortgages over the property of the Joint Stock Company given b?y Lee and other directors, while the receipts frora certain sales bad not been appropriated to lift these mort? gages, but had been stolen by Lee. At this juncture of the speech, Alfred Brun son, another negro, jumped upon the stand by Reed's side, saying be had come to defend Lee, if be had to whip Reed and go to jail. Said he, -No gentleman in town can say a word against Lee's character, while Reed's brother had been shot and killed for stealing a hog, and Reed himself had cheated blind Scipio's wife out of a half-dozen eggs. After the interruption, or rather in the midst of it, Reed proceeded to say that M. F. Hewson, of whom we hear so much talk, was no better than Lee, and had stolen $1,000 from the colored printing company, and that these charges would yet go into court. In thisconnectioo, he called the name of Rev. dawson, when the ecclesiastic punched Reed, with an umbrella, and'ordered vociferously that his name should not be called. Zach Walker and others leaping on the stand gave the same orders, quite informally, and the po? lice putting- in an appearance, the curtain* fell before the oration was finished. It is of no material interest to ns whether Reed was allowed to speak or not, -but as this is a free country, we think he should have been allowed to speak unmolested, and that the police power should , have been used igainst those who disturbed him, rather than against Reed himself. As be is an aspirant for the Post-office we bear that his attacks upon Lee mean some? thing in this direction. - 11 e The Review. Last Thursday between 1 and 2 o'clock the Military of the County, consisting bf the Sumter Light Iniantry, Capt.D. J. Auld, {41 men,) the Stateburg Volunteers, Capt. R. M. Cantey, (26 men,) and the Salem Troop, Capt. E. M. Cooper, (25 men,) were inspected an Monumental Square by Gen. Manigault and Staff. At the conclusion of the review Gen. Mani? gault made a short and complimentary speech to the companies, impressing upon them the importance of a well organized Militia in every county, "which he was glad to say, by the present turnout to-day, he thought they fully realized, and that be hoped it may ever be thus to the honor and glory of the Old Game Cock County." - At 8 o'clock that evening the S. L. I. as? sembled at Music Hall, where those wishing to contend, entered into the competitive drill which resulted in Sergt. Phelps, Sergt. O'Connor and Private Durant winning the first, second and third plumes respectively, for the best drilled in the manual of arms. After the delivery of the plumes the remain? der of the evening wa3 devoted to dancing. mm it* wm - Registration. Capt. P. P. Gaillard, -Supervisor of Reg? istration, opened the Registration Books here yesterday morning, and is now engaged issuing certificates. As we have written much on the importance of registering, we hope the bare mention of the fact, that the Snpervisoi is in Sumter issuing cer? tificates, will be sufficient to remind our citizens of their duty. Candidates. As will be seen in this issue of the Watch? man and Southron, several new names are added to the list, v?t Capt. E. M. Cooper, for the Legislature, Marion Sanders, Esq., for Sheriff, and Mr. J. Diggs Wilder for School Commissioner; and also that Col. J. Harvey Wilson, in a graceful and patriotic manner declines the nomination for the Legislature. Base Ball. The Eureka Base Ball Club, of this place, left last night for Camden, and are, we guess, by this time trying to show the young Cam denites a thing or two w jth the bat and ball.

MA YES VILLE, Jews 17, 1882. Messrs. Editors : Allow me, through yonr columns, to return my thanks to my friends for again placing my name in nomi? nation for the Legislature. Under existing circumstances T must respectfully decline being a candidate at the ensuing election. The exigency of the times demand that I should lay aside all feelings of personal con? sideration, and look solely to the good of the Democratic party. While I have no regrets to offer for the course I took in the Legisla? ture, I am cognizant of the fact, that, in one or two instances, that course has not met with the approval of some of the party, and were I knowingly to be the cause of a single man in the Democratic party bringing to its aid even a lukewarm support, I would be false to every instinct of my nature. In de? clining to be a candi? ,te_my zeal shall not be abated the least. iVo man in the County will go further than I will to achieve success. Again thanking you for yonr kind consider tion I am, very respectfully, . Your obedient servant, J."HARVEY WILSON. FOB TBS SENATS. LYNCHBURG, June 17, 1882. Messrs. Editors; At a meeting of the Dem? ocratic Club of this township, on the 9 th inst.,. seven delegates were elected to go to the County Convention ic Sumter on next Mon? day. Every man present expressed himself in fa. or of Col. Joseph H. Earle for the Sen? ate, and it was the unanimous opinion that he was the best man in the County for the/ place. Respectfully, SECRETARY. FOB SCHOOL OOrnSSIONEsT Messrs. Editors : Please announce MR. J. DIGGS WILDER as a candidate for the of? fice of School Commissioner of Sumter Coun? ty at the ensuing election and oblige; MANY FRIENDS^ FOB SBEBIFF. Messrs. Editors : If there is J?, tendency among our Democrats- to lay aside old fogy notions in politics and an earnest desire to cast their votes for a man, not because he is a good, quiet and honorable citizen, but because be is the right man for the place, then it is with patriotic pleasure that we nominate Mr. MARION SANDERS for Sheriff. Although Mr. Sanders has been a most zealons Demo? crat, working with might and main in every campaign, in whatever direction, be could.' be6t serve Sumter County, and further the cause of the democracy, it is not for this rea? son that he is now endorsed by the best and most influential citizens for Sheriff, but by reason of his qualifications and peculiar tact for Ihe office. His extensive acquaintance with the people and knowledge of the affairs of the county make him a candidate likely to be sustained by the entire Democratic Party. MANY VOTERS. FOB COMPTBOLLE^??ERAL. Messrs Editors : As the time is rapidly ap? proaching for the session of our Democratic State Convention, we beg to present for the consideration of that honorable body the name of CAPT. WM. E. STONEY in connec? tion with the office of Comptroller General. We would not claim ac y thing for him on account of his gallant conduct during the war, though his wounds could speak eloquent? ly in his behalf. With our people such con? duct was the role and not the exception. If we refer to it, it is simply as of an instance of duty well performed. Knowing this gentleman's character and ability we put him upon his merits, as a citi? zen in every respect worthy of the high posi? tion to which we nominate bim. Already yell informed as to its duties, he would bring to the office the purity and steadiness of princi? ple, the high intelligence, and the clearness and exactness of a mind well disciplined by education, insuring a successful administra? tion thereof, which would be rendered still more acceptable by his unassuming dignity and pleasant manners.
