Tern out again, gen? tlemen, aod give one more day for the sake ?rf your country I A Young Flood On Snnday afternoon from about 2.30 to 4 o'clock, we had a prodigious rainfall io the city and vicinity, which flooded the streets und sidewalks and choked up the dr?. r.s for l?verai hours. The thirsty earth succeeded in driokiog up all traces of the rain by 7 o'clock, and the moon, nearly full, rose to si most unclouded splender, making night I eau ti fe ' with its soft and silvery effulgence. The moisture io tbe atmosphere made Monday a steaming day, but out of the sun the heat vas oct UDendurable. Quick Work. Oar Extra which was received by the pub? lic, with such interest on Saturday afternoon, iirvolved a great deal of work and tbe closest o' atfceatioo tn order to prevent typographi? es! errors, a few of which crept in despite all Oir care. These we have corrected, and as j ^ published this week the returns are absolutely ( correct, so far as we kuow or have been able ? j tc find out. \' When we began to print them off, the ^ CTowd ia oar office was so large that we were - obliged to insist on their getting io line and | txdpg served in tarn. The extra sold like!* hot cakes, and was a great source of satisfac- ?? ti >n io the anxious candidates and their coo- , eittuents. After ocr labor io adding up the returns, weean readily believe the statement that several persons engaged in making up tte census retaros of 1880 were absolutely crixed by their coostant and incessant ad? dition of Sgures for months '*t a time. A similar statemen t of the result of the second primary election will be issued on Saturday afternoon. i/or the best Cigars, Chewing and Smoking Tobacco, call upon us and be convinced. E. ?.

MAYSSVULE, S. C., Aug. 21, 1888. Mr. Editor : The first bale of new cotton was brought to our town to-day by Mr. T. D. Chandler, ginned at the Salem gins of Capt. J E. Atkins, and was bought by Mr. A. A, Strauss, for cts per pound. Tbe bale weighed 529 pounds. W. Finest Cotton In the State. Mr. Edward E. Rembert, of Rafting Creek, has one hundred and twenty-five acres of cot? ton in one field that is given up to be the finest in the State. The height and the won? derful amount of fruit of this cotton is now the talk of the County. Mr. Rembert is quite a young man aod has his own original meth? od of farming, and herein lies the secret of bis success. Sumter County is proud of him because he is one of a few who has achieved so much at such an early age. Interesting Questions. A recent occurrence has given rise to some interesting questions : 1. Is there anything "sacred" about a vote cast at a primary election, when no oath is taken by the party casting it? 2. When does the right of property in a ballot cease ? When it is cast, or when ? 3 When the returns are all io and the votes have been canvassed and tabulated, and the official statement of the result has been signed up, in whom is the right of property to the '-ballots, " or have they ceased to be ballots, and are now nothing more than pieces of paper with names thereon? 4. In case they have ceased to be ballots ind ?re nobody's property, bas not any cit? izen ana especially any candidate the right af access to v.**em f?r aD7 Purpose not unlaw? ful ? 5. Has the CaairmrO of the County Ex ?cutive Committee the rignJ to demand that ;uch ballots or pieces of paper V)e restored to j aim, by the candidate who has ta?*a tDem into bis possession, and if the candida.'e re" Fuses, what remedy has the Chairman ? - Jm , , - - Advertising the City of Sumter. The Columbia Register and Charleston World both contained this morning the fol ewing special from the "City of Sumter:" "SUMTICB, Aug 21.-Upon ar/ affidavit of j Mr. John Haynsworth, warrants were yester lay issued by Mayor Mood for John R. Keels, ""harlie Keels, Henry Osborne, W. J. Herron, Napoleon Elierbee, and E. S. DesChamps, for drunkenness on the streets late Saturday night iud Sunday morning, creating disturbances, j liing profane language, tearing down fence?, j nc. J. R. Keels, Osborne and DesChamps lave been arrested and have given bond for j :heir appearance before the Mayor on the 27 J h nstant, when all the parties will be tried, ?ohn R. Keels is the young lawyer who was n the affray which resulted in the death of Fudge llaynswortb, aod Charlie Keels is bis ttusio from tbe country. W. J. Herron hails rom Winosboro, and is the party who recent y rao a livery business here. E. S. Des Jbamps is a sen of Major De3Cbamps of this :ounty, and is withala very fine young man. Napoleon Elierbee is the son of R. G. Elierbee. i well known citizen of Kershaw county. Osborne is a white employee of J. R. Keels, rhere are a great many wild rumors about the 'Xcesses committed by tbe above named but bis correspondent refrains irorn stating any hing further in the case until the c. cused jave had a hearing and an opportunity to -Indicate themselves." We are informed by Mr. DesCchamps that te can exonerate himself of the charges, and ve also learn that some cf tbe other parties :Iaim to he able to do the same. It is unfortunate if any are accused v. roag ully; but the City of Sumter has been p;ven i black eye by the proceedings on last Satur, lay night anci the authorities should ice that fno guilty man escapes." j . That Mountain Excursion. A friend otours went on the excursion last Wednesday, and has submitted himself to an I interview, though he tried to beg off on the ground that after such a "pleasure exertion" (as Samantha Allen puts it) the process of pumping or being pumped involved too hard labor, with the mercury in the nineties. He says in substance that the train left here about three quarters of an hour late, the first section having preceded it by some minutes. When the second section arrived in Columbia it was ascertained that, as usual, the Coast Line bad shown its heels to both sections of the excursion as organized over the "old re? liable'' South Carolina road. After waiting for twenty minutes or 60, however, the two trains over that road thundered into the sta? tion, bringing considerably over five hundred excursionists of all ages, both sexes, and a half-dozen colors, ranging from pnre white and black to ginger cake and amber-color. This was one of the curiosities of the excur? sion, the number of colored persons, especially women, who went on it. Our friend noticed a car full of them, besides a few others scat? tered-about in the other cars. The next thing that attracted his attention was the lamentable fact that the C. & G. men had given his section, composed of seven full coaches, a little, insignificant engine, entirely incapable of performing the duty assigned to it. The atmosphere, in consequence, was lurid with profanity, extending over the length of the train, from the engioeer in the cab to the hot and dusty occupant of the back platform of the rear coach. The atmosphere was also torrid, especially when, as frequent? ly happened, the train would come to a com? plete stop in a deep cut, from which both heat and light were reflected with cruel effect, under which cuffs and collars rapidly suc? cumbed or went into a stale of total and hope? less bankruptcy. The amount of real estate collected on the persons and clothing of the excursionists would have made qnite a respectable farm if brought together in one mass. The train reached Spartanburg two hours late, aud then rested for an hour, except for several short trips to and from the Air Line depot to where the A. & 8. road crosses Main street, the object of which trips no fellow could find out, even after diligent inquiry. Spartanburg was left at six o'clock, the ex? cursionists by that time being tired and iimp, with no vivacity or vitality to speak of, suf? fering in grim silence tbe horrors of the situ? ation. After a half hour's bard work, the mountains hove in sight, old Tryon looming grandly np in the rapidly lessening distance. Then a change come over the spirit of the ex? cursionists' dream. Tba ozone in the air be? gan to make itself felt. Windows and plat? forms were ornamented with numer?os heads, and a grand chorus of exclamations expres? sive of surprise and delight smote upon the ear and the circumambient atmosphere at one and the sanie time. At Melrose the climb commenced in earnest. Two powerful en? gines, each with three driving wheels on a side, were attached to the train, and slowly but surely tbe grade of seven hundred and odd feet which had to be overcome before Saluda was reached, was passed, and the train pulled into the station just at dark. Here a large number disembarked, but most of the excursionists went on to points beyond, Asheville being reached about 9.30 o'clock, and the Hot Springs an hour and a half later. There were no accidents on any of the trains, which was surprising, considering the great number of persons involved and the many magnificent opportunities offered to the care? less and adventurous. The tickets were very cheapandafforded excursionists the advantages of nearlv three weeks'stay in the mountains -a great beon at this season. Our friend was told that the price of real estate all over the available mountain country bas risen rapidly iu the last few years. He could see for himself bow many nice little summer homes bad been recently built, and heard a number of gentlemen say they intend? ed pcrchasing and building for themselves, The isothermal belt crosses Tryon mountain, and a finer fruit country nowhere exists. Not only is that section a favorite summer resort, but more Northerners occupy quarters at the Battery Park Hotel in Asheville during the winter than Southerners during the summer. A rival to Florida is thus looming up near us, and Western North Carolina promises soon to become the Switzerland of America in wealth and population as it has long been such in point of scenery. We give this as a "pointer" to our wide awake business men who gen? erally kuow a good thing when they see it. - -?.?- qa-- - E. C. Green H Son, have a large stock ot ShoO3 at popular prices.

Fellow-citizens : It is with pride and grati? tude that I have to thank you, friends, who honored me with your votes in such a flatter? ing manner last Friday. I have to take this method of doing so, because my duties as Deputy Sheriff positively will not admit of a personal canvass of the County. The free and uninfluenced honor which T have re? ceived at your hands can be appreciated only when it is remembered that my card appear? ed first in the Watchman and Southron of Aug. 8th', not quite two weeks before the election, and while other candidates for the Coroner ship, canvassed the County, and appeared at the public meetings, I could only send a let? ter, which was read at but three of those meetings, and there were no "whippers in" at the polls in my behalf, and though I had the offer of trades, no trade was made by me. Yet I was remembered in every Ciub, and no box returned a blank for Warren. My friends, again I thank you, and venture to express the hope that you will repeat on the 24th your action of the 17th. The Demo? cratic voters, with whom I have not the honor of acquaintance, and those who voted against me-as they have a perfect right to do -I desire to point to the election returns from the'five Eastern and two South-western Townships, where I have lived aod their cit? izens of all classes honored me with their votes. Respectfully, A. G. WARREN, Candidate for Coroner. Cigarette Smoking. if the attention of the observers of the present day is arrested by any one thing more than another, that one thing should be the bab^t of cigarette smoking, as practicdd by the boys of the 19tb Century. The truth of the old adage, "The boy is the father of the man," is, we believe, acknowledged by all sagacious men. If it be so, then what are we ? to look for io the men of the next three de? cades? They being the outgrowth of ciga rette saturated children. Tbe subtle poison of the cigarette permeates the whole nervous system and saturates the brain, producing a premature weakling, utterly incompetent to j meet the duties and cope with the responsi I bilities devolving upon the man. If this be I so, then what hope have we for the future of j a country whose preachers, lawyers, doctors, politicians and statesmen are to be hewn out of such material. JOHN H. FORMAN, M.
