JUDGE CARPENTER, Qty, M. p.:
BUTLER, GEN. j. B, KERSHAW
and probably other extinguish-,
ed speakers will address the
citizens of Sumter County, white
and colored, at Sumter on Wed?
nesday, Aug. 31st. The people,
en masse, will no doubt turn out.
THE SEASON*
Have been generally good io this
section, and the crops ?re generally
promising.
UKIMTMI'S QCKK5I1S DELIGHT.
Our columns contain the advertise*
ment of th it? popular remedy. Mr.
HEINITSH bas long been engaged in the
Drug business at Colombia, and no Co*
lumbian has a higher reputation than,
has he. His Queen's Delight is made
pure-is no trashy nostrum, the sole
purpose of which is to make money.
For the purposes for which it is recom?
mended it DO doubt has real merit.
WILSON AE SELBY.
We have muoh pleasure io directing
general attention to the oard of Messrs.
WILSON & SELBY, Cotton Factors nnd
General Commisson Merchants, of No.
5. Water St, Baltimore, to be found io
our advertising columns. We haye
personal acquaintance with Mr. JOHN
W. SELBY, of this house, and from
that acquaintance, and from his general
reputation, are prepared to say as muoh
fir him as for any businessman of whom
we know. Trusts committed to his
hands, our friends may feel sure, will
receive proper attention.
A BARBECUE PROPOSED.
A number of prominent citizens, from
several parts of the oounty, present at
Sumter, on Sales-day (Monday) last,
exhibited much earnestness in urging a
barbecue for the Mass Meeting on the
31st, and offered to contribute beeves
and other meats and supplies for suoh a
purpose. Time did not admit of a
regular meeting, but informal consulta?
tion resulted io a request that all who
would unite for that purpose would at
once communicate with this office. Let
us have a barbecue.
"NOW." w
Wc ask every calm and honest reader
of the Watcliman to give careful read?
ing and mature deliberation to the arti?
cle signed as above, and published on
another columo. It contains truth and
power, io points so plainly put that the
way-luring man cannot fail to compre
hcud. They cannot fail to have the el
feet in bringing our people to see the
true position they occupy in tho great
struggle now being inaugurated ia this
State, between honesty aod dishonesty
-between good government on the one
sido and plunder and bribery on tho
other. Let all honest oitizens, white
and black, arouse themselves, and cast*
ing to the winds all prejudices and
animosities, go to work for the right.
Br 5iB SON AL*
We were pleased to receive a call, on
Friday last, from F. D. RICHARDSON
Esq., DOW canvassing agent of the State,
for the Carolina Life Insurance Com
pany, of whioh JEFFERSON DAVIS is
President. Mr. RICHARDSON is too
well known to our people and to the
State at large, to need commendation
from us, and we simply say that the Com?
pany he represents is one of the best in
the country.
We have also been pleased to receive
a call from Dir. F. C. RANTIN, who
represents the old and popular Charles?
ton Shoe House of E. B. STODDARD
& Co. Mr. RANTIN is a native of our
sister District of Clarendon, and
relative of our esteemed fellow-oitizen,
JAMES H. DINGLE.
THE GOOCH COTTON TIE.
Our friends, Messrs. GREEN & WALSH,
BB appears from the advertisement in
our columns, are sole agents for Sumter
and Clarendon for the sale of this im?
proved Cotton Tie, and Ire now prepared
to take orders. .
We wero pleased to reoeive 0 oall, a
few days ago, from Mr. HYMAN, the
popular junior partner of the house of]
DANGY, HYMAN A Co., General Com?
mission Me?uuitnts of New York, who
are solo agents for the United States for
this Tie. Mr. HYMAN informed ns that |
it is extensively used in North Carolina,

SPECIAL NOTICES.
Thia va!aabla Family Medicine has been widely
and favorably known in our ? n aad foreign
countries, upward! of v .
THIRTY YEARS! . -
It hae lost none of Ha good "nama' by repeated
trials, but continues to occupy a prominent posi?
tion in avery family medicine oheat. ?
It la an external and Internal Remedy. For
Summer Complaint, or any other form of bowel
disease in obildren or adulta, lt la an almost cer?
tain cure, and hos without doubt, been more
successful in eurlng the various kinds of CHOL?
ERA than any other kown remedy, or the most
skillful physician. In India, Africa and China,
where this dreadful disease ia more or less preva?
lent, the Pain Killer Isconsideied by the natives,
aa well aa European reaidenta In those climates,
a sar? remedy ; and while it la a moat efficient
remedy for pain, it ts a perfeetly safe modlcine,
even in unskillful hands. Directions accompany
each bottle.

SINKING SLOWLY,
Diseases that progress rapidly to a erista ara
not the only ones to be dreaded. Canker or dry
rot dooa not bleat a tree aa suddenly aa a stroke
of lightning, but unless arrested, it destroya it
aa certainly ; and in like manner ob ron 1? debility
although lt docs net kill with the swiftness of
yellow fever, is as sure to sap the springs of life
eventually aa any acute diaoaae, if not oheoked
by invigorating medication. There is something
Inexpressibly touobing io the apeot.iolo of prema?
ture deoay. Languor, pallor, emaciation, depres?
sion of spirits, and a dis tasto for exertion, are ita
ordinary sy mp toms, and they should be promptly
met by tonto treatment. The boat invigorant and
exbilarant that ean be administered in a oaae of
thia kind la Hosteller's Stomach Bittera. The
stimulating prinoiple of the preparation rouses
the dormant .energies of the system, and the
strengthening and regulating properties give a
permanent and healthful impulse to th? vital
foreea thua brought Into play. Tho failing appe?
tite la re awakened, the process of digestion and
assimilation are quickened, the quality of the
blood is improved, the secretions bsoome more
natural, and every organ that contributes to the
nourishment of the body undergoes salutary
ohange. By these means the repair of the phys?
ical structure ia effected and ita health and vigor
restored. In no class of disease? has the benifi
eent operation of the Bitters buen more marked
and striking than in those characterised by gen?
eral debility and nervous proatration. Ladies
effected with theae alimenta find in thia most
wholesome of all tontos and correctives the saf?
es t and aureat means of relief. It ia atroog to
restore and powerless to injure. Such is the
uniform testimony of clouds of witnesses."
