Important to Tobacco Planters. j John M. Estes, superintendant of the To bacco Department of tbeCoIurabian Exposition has requested Mr. W. fl. Gardner, of Rem berts, to prepare an exhibit of the tobacco of Sumter County. Mr. Gardner b?3 consent ed to do so and requests the co-operation of the tobacco planters of the country. He desires a sample?about one or two pounds? of the best grade from each farm, which be will arrange in the most attracuve^manner. The county will get the credit of the exhibit, and it will be of great benefit as an advertise ment of the county and its resources. Mr. Gardner has only a few months in which to prepare the exhibit and consequently be desires to secure tbe samples as soon as possible. As he is doing the work vol untarily and without remuneration, we hope he will be aided in every way pos posaible by each and every tobacco farmer in the county. Address samples to W. II.

John C. Chandler at] Methodist Church, Wedge?eld, on Sunday, 11th, Mr. John J. Coojers of this city to Miss Josie DuPont of Wedge?eld Deaths. Mr. D. J. Winn died at hi3 home in this city on last Monday night. Mr. Winn was engaged in business in Sumter for more than forty years, from which he retired about two years ago on accouut of bis increasing age. There was no man in Sumter County belter known or more respected, and he leaves be hind him a reputation for life-long honesty nnd strict business integrity thnt is a truer and more beautiful monument than any that can be made with hands. The regret and sorrow over his death is general, for the community has lost an upright and honest man Mrs. Mary M Furroan diel in Fort Worth, Texas, last month, aged 72 yeais. She whs the widow of the Rev. Richard Furman, D. D., the distinguished clergyman and writer, who will be remembered a9 having been pas tor of the Baptist Church of this city. Mr9. Furmau's maiden name was M elver and she was a cousin of the present Chief Justice. She was a lady of superior men::-.! endow ments and pure character?a beautiful type of the true woman. Mr. B. B Carr, father of M. John B Carr, died on la?t Wednesday night, 7th instant, aged 82 years. Mr. Carr removed to this city from North Carolina about a year ago. Mr. J. P. Rich bourg died at the home of bis daughter, Mrs. S. L. Keels, near Rem berts, this county, on Saturday the 10th in stant, after an illness of about 10 days, ag.-d about 80 years. He was also the father of Gen. R. N. Rich bourg of Colombia. The Ohandler Homicide. W. B. Boyle, proprietor of the Central Market, McGuionis Block, shot and killed D. Wesley Chandler ou Wednesday night last, a few minutes before 8 o'clook. The facts of the case, as obtained from the evidence taken at the icquest and elsewhere, are as follows : Chandler had been in the employ of Boyle, but was discharged a week cr two ago on account of dishonesty, whi;h Boyle claims to have discovered. Chaddler claimed that Boyle owed him a balance on salary, and had been pushing for a settlement ; at the same time denying the charge of dishonesty. On the night of the shooting, Chandler had been sitting in the front of Boyle's shop* and when Boyle came to the door Chandler cursed bim and told bim not to come outside. Boyle told Chandler to go away, that be had taken more from him than he ever had taken from any mac. Boyle then sent for chief Weeks to take Chandler away. Mr. Weeks carried Chandler away and told him that he must not interfere with Boyle. In a few minntes Chandler returned and walked direct ly into Boyle's shop and back to the wire partition across it. As he walked in Boyle said to his clerk Mr. O E. Webber, that he did not want Chat.dler in his shop and to tell him to get out. Webber met Chandler at the door in the wire partition and told him not to come in. Chandler pushed his way in and Boyle almost immediately fired, hitting Chandler in the stomach. Chandler reeled and Koyle fired again, hitting bim in the mid dte of the back. Both balls went entirely through Chandler, and either would have caused death. Chandler was taken to the Beil Room, and Drs A. J. China and S. C. Baker j summoned. Tbey pronounced the wounds mortal and told Chandler that be had better i make a statement at once if he desired to make one. Chandler refused to make a statement, contending to the last that he would not die. He lingered until about 7 o'clock Thursday morning and died. His remains were taken to Mayesville, his old home, for interment on Friday. Boyle was arrested immediately after the shooting and committed to jail. Deputy-Corooer, S. A. Norris summoned a jury and held an inquest over the body of Chandler on Thursday morning. The fol- J lowing verdict was rendered after hearing the testimony of Drs. China and Baker, police men Geo. C. Belk and C. P. Barwick, and 0. E. Webber. "That the said D.W. Chandler came to his death in the city of Sumter, Sumter County in said State.'Sept. 8,A D. 1892, from gunshot wounds made by a pistol in the hands of W. B. Boyle, on the evening of Sept. 7, A. D. 1892, in said citv, County and State." D. Wesley Chandler was well known in thiseounty as a merchant of Mayesville for several years. He removed to this city last spring and was for several months in the em ploy of Boyle. He leaves a wife but no chil dren. Messrs Lee & Moise have been retained, as attorneys, by Boyle. Judge Fraser released W. B. Boyle on bail yesterday morning. Boyle gave bond in the sum of $2000. The Defeated Philosopher. We were an office-seeker, but no race with them we ran. For thirty years we waited 'til the office sought the man, And when our friends, elected, had served their terras and died We saw the office coming with melancholy stride. We went to meet it, but it missed us, by o'er 2,000 votes ; And here we areas lonesome a3 tho' we'd ?we'd?er?belonged to the goats. Yes, we've been a candidate, and it wasn't such a bowling success nolber, (the Lord help us, and forgive U3 and bless us,) but we've nearly recovered from the attack. It was severe while it lasted, but is seldom fatal, though the after effects leaves one in a sort of asiate of ? er? obsquatulation, as it were, and mystification. The mystification is especially trying, as for instance: according to the tabulated statement there were 2640 votes polled in Sumter County and yet it seems to us we must have received about 3,000 promises, direct and indirect. There is some thing wrong somewhere. Now we've won dered whether there mightn't be two sets of voters in thiseounty. Those that promised the other fellows and voted, and those that promised ue and wouldn't or couldn't or didn't vote, or whether it whs tbe managers, or the returning board, or the lies told to us, or the lies told on us, or ? or the lies we told ; but be it how it may, tberejare about 2715 votes that are due us that we didn't get, and there's something wrong, and if you don't believe it we c^n prove it by 40 odd good and true men of Sumter County who also got left, also by Mr. Thomas. And now wo preemp torily move, and we 3econd the motion and also decide it as unanimously adopted, that we the 40 odd defeat-er? de? defrauded and bereaved candidates do meet in general assembly, on the 31st of September for tbe purpose of organizing a new party?or a new county, we don't care a drat which. Now i brethren, if you bave a drop of campaign spirits left in you. you will not tamely sub mit to the- burdening yoke of ? er ? of ? submit to trie mistaken decision of these mis led and err::)g voters Be men ! Think of the sharply fought campaign from the open ing skirmish at "Pinch em sly" to the last historical battle of Shiioh, during all which you were ever to the front and ready to an swer to your names, no matter who called 'em. Think of our best clothes all damaged by the du=: and dampness. Think of the north-east corner of our Sunday hat rini3 riow in a most melancholy state of dilapida tion from being used as a hnridle in bowing to 'he 'de:?r people," (drat 'em.j Think of our sweilcd he.i4s and bij* he.nds before, :md oar sore heads since the 30;'* nit., and decide I if we are not worthy of? er-- of a be zier re ward, than getting left. Come over, all of you, and bring the best spirits you car. There's enough of us to do something or lick somebody. We've got it to do. There's a j darkey the other day saying : "Dere .Mas Bill now, he gone roun de county and been raek speech and mek sreech and a:a' raek no crop. Dere Mas Shep, he been lectione-T and let de worrura eat up all e tobacco, and dere Mas Dan, he loss all e religion, and Mas Guv he gwineroun talkin sump'n noderbouthe bility and whole passel people der wait fur 'em to shappen de gin." This will not do. Let the I stoutest plank in our platform, our watch word and battle cry be, "No more defeated candidates! Guv. P. S.?We would privately explain that we don't know if-our head is sore or no, we can only say that if this is sorehead we hope it will remain so, for we are very calm and serene. To our frier.ds who voted for us we ?eturn our sincere and hearty thanks, =owy they lost } their vote, and can only promise to make thiogs even whenever they are fool enough to | run for office. Our consolation is tbat we j have 2^5 personal and individual friends in I Samter County, for we don't believe we got 8 single political vote. We only wish there were 365 of era, one for every day in the year, j we'd go round and speed a day and night j with each and get through the year very com- j for tub l y ; but us it is, we've got b*0 days to < provide for somehow and only about 80 cents to do it with and this sort of financering is a little beyond our "ability." To the successful candidates, one and all, we extend our hearty congratulations, none the less hearty because we are "not in it" and didn't "git there Eli." To the people of Sumter County we'd say that we regrrt they have lost our valuable services, for we should certainly have served them "to the best of our ability." Guv. Fair in Charleston for the Benefit of the Conductors. The Conductors' Fair to be held in Charles ton for the benefit of the 0. R. C. will have a feature which will he very interesting to the conductors of the South Carolina Railway, the A. C. L. and the C & S.

Shiloh Items. Shiloh, S. C, Sept. '0 1892. Notwithstanding the many revolutions of the earth since I last wrote you, this little village holds her position, and is as peaceful and serene as ever. Homicides, suicides and assaults of varions natures are rife in the land; but old Shiloh steers clear, and there's noth ing to chronicle against her. Our farmers are all busy geathering cotton and putting it in market order. The crop is a little short. Early corn yielded well, late corn is injured by drouth. Our mill man, Mr. Walter Green, has his gin in fine trim and is making the lint fly. Our young Dr. Wbitehead, after a long ill ness is recovering. Mrs. Gamble is at Mr. R. A. Frierson's very ill. Mr. D. M. Green is replenishing his stock. Our political agitation is simmering down now and we are glad to bear testimony to* it. Wbat we all desire, or should desire, is justice, peace and unity : the latter two can not exist lone without the former. Our school is not yet re-opened, but we ex pect to be in harness soon You'll hear fron us again before long. Agkicola. Tiibute of Respect.
