Wa request each of our subscribers to ex? amine the address on his paper, and particu? larly to observe the date npon it. This date eboTvs the time up to which the paper has been paid for. Many of our subscribers will thus see that they have paid in advance ; but-there are many others "who will discover that they hav? not. We are glad to be able to state that the balance of the machinery so long needed at the Bellemont Cotton Factory, has at last ar? rived. The work will now speedily begin. The Public Schools over the County are gradually bei og discontinued. Some of them have had sessions of four months, some of fire, and a few of six. The session has been uncommonly successful, and the average at? tendance greater than that of last year. - By a recent Act of the Legislature, -the un? appropriated money collected to build the County fence, has been set aside to pay the deficiency on the indebtedness of 1879-80 and j 81. Excluding the bonded debt, this puts i the County square with its creditors. A gentleman in town has applied for a place on our staff as a "Spring poet.' ' Tush 1 maa,bring np a spring chicken, and then we'll come to business. We return thanks to Mr. Chas. H. Green for au invitation to attend toe Centennial Cele? bration-of the birth-day of J. C. Calhoun, to be held by the Calhoun Literary Society, of Wofford College, on the evening of March 18. Addresses are to be delivered by Rev. Ellison Capers and Hon. David R. Duncan. Un Bal Masque will be held at Gamble's Hall, Florence, S. C., on the evening of March 22. Tickets $1.00. The proceeds are to be devoted to the aid of tbe Russian Sufferers. We return thanks for a complimentary ticket. Our Music Kail has two doors, we are in? formed. One of them i3 useless, or the binges are broken, or something else. We judge this bj the fact that after an entertainment, .aid door is never opened ; but the crowd are kept in the Hall waiting for the procession to march slowly out at one door. In case of I fire the jam and rush would be terrible. Be , it resolved, by the citizeos of Sumter, that we j will attend no more entertainments in the Hall until we are assured that at both doors we may find an exist. ^ - -We had a fire up in our offica on last Tues? day night which came nigh on to routing us. One of our editors in thrashing around, as j editors will do, knocked over a couple of i lamps that were sitting on a chair, (lt would j not be polite for a lamp to stand on s chair.) j The cry of fire was then neccessary, and some j fifteen hundred or two thousand of our friends came rushing up to our relief. It was re-j freshing to know we had so many friends, j and "you may not believe it," but we want ? to take this opportunity of returning thanks j to them, and to say, at the same time, that j our subscription books are open for another rush. "You may not believe it," but one of our j young spoons was chawed the other night, i He went to see the apple of bis eye. Be sat ! at her feet, and said "Will you permit me?" j She permitted. "Ah ! dear," said be, "I could j wt here forever." "Could you love?" "Yes, j sweet." "You are right sure you could, dar? ling." "I know it, my own." "Very well, then, you sit here, for I have an engagement i to go out with Mr, Black, and wont be back! this evening. Turn out the light and fasten j the night-latch when you go away. .Ta-ta, j dear." And she we tout, and heard him say- j jog, as she left, "'Tis true''tis pity, and pity .] 'tis, 'tis true." \ "Ioeogoito" has sent us a cosmopolitan"? poem, written in Sumterand mailed at Mayes j rille. We don't know who "Incognito" is,; but we guess be is a girl If be ain't a girl, j he's a boy, and if he*s a boy be's in love aw fal: The poem is' entitled, "The Prisoner's j Farewell," ?nd "you may not believe it," ! but it's fnll of love and sighs and kisses and j good-byes and embraces, and we have read it j until we feel yonng again. Asa sample of its j sweetness, we append the last verse which ! drops fatness : Kow, sweetheart, good-bye forever, I meekly kiss the chastening rod. Remember me. I now resign you To your country and your God. If "Incognito" had just sent on bis name j or her name, or somebody else"? name, this j ! oem would not thus be lost to the world. j A fellow carried his girl to see Hazel Kirke j last week. Of course we don't mean only i one fellow did this, but we have our eye on . one in particular. Well, he fell in love with j the way Pity made love to Dolly when he ! called her, "Dear, delirious, delicious Dolly! Dutton." Thisstuck our youth. His sweet- j heart was named Jane, and on bis way home, j he made a pass to get up an alliterated form ? of endearment; so whee he thought his girl j was feeling softest, he turned his laughing eyes upon her and said, "Joyous, jubilaot," and every other word ia the English tongue, commencing with j failed him. His girl, of course, didn't understand what 'joyous, jubi? lant" meant. At last they came to the front J -gate, the place where lovers commonly swing j awhile. ("You may not believe it," but j we're broken down several in our life.) Here the young gallant had gathered bis j thoughts, and as the echoes of a good-night kiss were dying away in the distance, he ex? claimed gushingly, "Joyous, jubilant, Jehos? aphat, June-bug Jane 1" Jane fainted. Temperance Lecture. Notwithstanding the inclemency of the j weather, and the triteness of the text a large i audience assembled at Music Hall on Thurs- j dajere?ing last to hear Rev. B. K. Douglass' j lecture on "Temperance." Mr. Douglass is a j forcible speaker and held the close attention of ! bis audinence for over an boor. His chief at- j tention is an originality of illustration, which ; fairly captivates bis hearers. His lecture is j eminently worthy of being published in full j bnt want of space prevents our so doing io i this 1*ue. j Supervisors of Registration. Governor Hagood bas, in accordance with j the law, appointed the Supervisors and As? sistant, Supervisors of Registration through out the State. The following are the appoint- j xoentsfor Sumter and Clarendon : Sumter County-Chief, P. P. Gaillard ; | Assistais, Walton S. Wilson and Edward ? O'Reilly. Ciertndon County-Chief, John 0. Brock ; ? ssisuots, James E. Davis and Joseph S. j Hazel Kirke ! Wae admirably played last Wednesday even? ing, and it captivated the hearts of the entire audience. It is not likely that any other troupe which might play here will supersede this company in the many golden opinions it scored on this occasion. To attempt to describe the individual merits of the different actors would be quite a hard task ; for if we were to decide to portray the Soe acting of Mr. Crompton, the irresistible [ Mr. Davidson wonld be sure to step in in the midst of the scene, and (eveu for Pity's sake) we could not refrain from laughing, thus, too suddenly turning from the sublime to the ? ridiculous ; aod so in doing justice to the ? sweet and noble Miss Gilbert, perchance, our : pen would omit some of her most prominent : merits, the moment the piquant and bewitch i iog Miss Salisbury entered, brim full of all those fascinating little ways, which seemed to upset all the boys' hearts at first sight. So, j to say the play was a grand success and mer? ited ihe unbounded praise it received, is the highest compliment we can pay it. The management, we are sure, . won the I good opinioo of all who attended the perform? ance, by scrupulously giving every portion of the play. As an evideoce of this fact, a por I tion of the scenery, which, owing to a defi j ciency in the gas in the Theatre at Wiloiing \ ton where they played the night before, they ? could not get to the Depot in time fur the regu I lar train upon which the company came, ! was despatched upon a special train, thus j incurring considerable extra expense solely for the benefit of the performance here. ' Attention S. L. I. To-night will be the time for the regular monthly meeting, and matters of importance will be submitted for consideration. You are requested to turn out promptly, at Music Hail, at 8 o'clock. The Dime Reading will meet at Col. Brand? ing's Friday. IN MEMORIAM. The solemn sound of the funeral bell has I again summoned us to meet around the grave j of another of our brethren, whom it has pleased the Great Architect of the Universe to remove from earthly labor to refreshment eternal. A zealous and faithful Mason-ah active j and efficient Craftsman-a sincere and trusty ! friend-a tender and affectionate brother has j j been stricken down by the ruthless hand of death. And as we stand by the casket, I I which contains hts mortal remains, and real- j ize the irreparable los3 we have sustained, the heart fills, and the eyes overflow, as we feel that the sod will soon cover all that is earthly { of bim from our sight, and that he bas passed i from among ns, forever 1 But, at the head of the grave stands the j Acacia ! We are assured, that, rejoicing io j the remembrance of a well spent life, and j cheered by that bright faith, which Masonry does not presume to teach, but to which, she earnestly though silently points, Death to him was no troublous passage across the dark and shadowy River, but a joyful translation to that world of glory, his advent to which was greeted by the myriads, whose Blocks have been tried by the unerring Square, with their loudest hail of joy and Love. "Welcome to Heaven, dear brother, welcome j Home I Welcome to thy inheritance of Light I Welcome forever to thy Master's Joy ! Thy work is done, thy pilgrimage is past; ; Thy brethren who have entered into Rest Long for thy coming ; and the angel choirs Are ready with their symphonies of praise. Nor shall" thy roice be mute ; a golden harp i For thee is hanging on the Tree of Life, And sweetly shall its chords forever ring, ? Responsive to thy touch of ecstacy, ! With hallelujahs to thy Lord and ours." Our Brother, ROBERT PETERSON ! MAYES, was initiated into the E. A. Degree j in Salem Lodge No. 141. A.*. F.-. M.-., De- ! cember the 29th, 1868. passing to the degree i of F. C., January 26th, 1869, being raised to I the degree of M.\ M.\, February 26th, 1869, and died February 11th, 1882, aged fifty- | seven years, eleven months and eleven days, j He was one of the earliest initiates into this j Lodge, and was, from that event, one of its i most active members, regularly attending its j communications, until prevented by impaired health. He served the Lodge in several of its 1 chairs, with energy and efficiency, and was continuously for a number "of years on its j most important committee, (that of charity.) ? His affable manners and quaint, genial ! humor rendered him a favorite with all who j knew him, but. his intimate friends could'j more highly appreciate the fact, that, under ! that cheerful, amiable exterior, beat one of \ the truest hearts that ever pulsated, tender and susceptible as a woman's to suffering and distress, yet fearless and steadfast as a pala- i din's in the cause of right and justice. In his ? extensive dealings with his fellow-men, his | name was a synonyme for integrity, and the ? reputation he hus left, as an honorable and j upright citizen, bas been attained by few, | excelled by none. Cemented, as weare, by the closest ties of j union and friendship,* the death of any one of j those whom we have ''met upon the level," ever fills our hearts with grief; but when we mourn, as we do now, the decease of one whose' Masonic Life was without blemish, who acted up to our tenets in every particu? lar; whose heart was warm with love for our . Order ; whose band was ever extended to the aid of distress and suffering ; and who espe? cially delighted in that kindly and social in? tercourse, the golden chain which unites all of our profession, wherever dispersed-our very souls faint within us, and nothing but the abiding faith that the Great Master, in bis inscrutable wisdom, does all things well, can bring comfort to our sorrowing hearts. The blow bas fallen-the body of our much beloved Brother bas been consigned to the silent tomb-the place that knew him, shall know him no more ; but the memory of his virtues is still with us : let us ever imitate and emulate them, so that when the hour shall come wheo we shall be called to pass i the dread portals, the darkness of the tomb j shall be dispelled by the glorious light that j beams from the Temple above, not made with hands, eternal in the Heavens. While we bow with submission to the de- j cree of the Great Architect, it is proper that j we should place on record some tribute of af? fectionate remembrance of our deceased Broth? er, and of our sorrow at his death. Be ii therefore Resolved, That we, the mem? bers of Salem Lodge No. 141, A.*. F.". M.*., deeply deplore the dtath of our well beloved brother, Robert Peterson Mayes, aod feel that each of us has lost a valued friend, a faithful and sympathetic brother ; aud the Lodge, an active member anda liberal benefactor. Resolved, That a page in our minute book be dedicated to his memory and inscribed with bis name, date of birth, and initiations into the several degrees of Masonry, date of his death and age. Resolved, That a copy of these resolutions be sent to his family, with the assurance of j the tenderest and most sincere sympathy on ' the part of every member of the Lodge. H. D. CORBETT,) E. M.

KIN-ARD'S, S. C., Feb. 27, 1882. Dear Watchman :-My thoughts fre? quently turo toward and centre on dear old Sumter, tbe soil, in the bosom of which rest the sacred remains of my sainted dead, and the region from which come trooping up so many hal? lowed memories-the scene, too, signal? ized by so many struggles, conflicts and victories, with the world, the flesh aud the devil, and embalmed with so many tears of sacred grief and thankfulness to the God of our deliverance-the home where my heart's affections first clustered in marital ties, which witness? ed the rising hopes and prosperous progress of my young manhood, and the attainments of my riper years, as I sought to fight a good fight in the journalistic arena, and within the more sacred precincts of the Church of Christ. Yes, my thoughts often turn to you, dear old spot, from which I am now, most likely forever severed, as my place of abode. And how could it be other? wise, lest I were first dead to all the most precious recollections and blessed inspirations by which the heart is moved. Dear old Sumter-may the hand divine "drop fatness" upon your broad fields, and the white-winged messenger of peace and plenty hover over your communities and households. I am here in what is known as North Newberry, the scope of my ministerial labors including a portion of the terri? tory of Laurens County. It is a beau? tiful country, with its red clay hills and valleys now nestling in the picturesque embrace of the verdant young grain crop, as it smiles in its promise of com? ing plenty-of "rest to the sowers and bread to the eaters." This is a country of small grain to an extent which Sum? ter needs to be-a hundred acres of oats, fifty of wheat, with the inevitable "barley patch," being common to medi? um farmers. And that "barley patch !" ? How captivating to the eye, its dense ! green surface just at this season, like j so many gems of emerald to adorn the j fair bosom of mother earth. This "bar- ! ley patch" is said to be the most profi- j table of all the patches known to tbis country country. In two or three weeks from this time it will have attain? ed a height sufficient to cut. A farmer of practical experience told us that it opportunely supplements the food for stock just before the coming of the oat crop. Said he "it does not act like other green ' food-I fill my mule troughs with it at night, and they plow well on it, as food, maintaining their health and flesh and strength." It is used in this way until the "bearded head" opens, when it is said to be no longer of utility for this purpose, as the "bearded head" seriously affects the mouth of the animal. I have thought j of old Sumter in connection with these j "barley patches"-how much they j would tend to afford help in feed'ng ? stock just at this time. The ground when the barley is sown is made rich the seed is put in broad-cast, in the fail, in all respects as for oats. You may begin to cut it in March, and it is said to admit of three cuttings, something after the manner of millet. This is a most hospitable, kind-heart? ed Christian people with whom, in the providence of God, myself and mother? less boys have been thrown. The kind offices of thoughtful consideration, in view of our peculiarly afflictive situa? tion, are among the blessed provisions which God makes for relieving the ne? cessities of the voids which his inscruti blc hand makes in the family circle. One striking feature of this country, which puts it a step beyond Sumter in the march toward a self-sustaining posi? tion : I have yet to sit at a table where j edibles are spread, on which was not an ample supply of fine home-made butter, and this notwithstanding thc new fence (nc fence) law has been io operation here for some time. The fences are fast disappearing here from around the planted fields, and the rolling wheels of your buggy on the public highways, fling the dirt on the green oats and wheat which skirt their very margin. This country is fairly dotted with churches-Presbterion, Lutheran. Bap? tist and Methodist. So closely are our brethren of other denominations neigh? bors, that we have not a single appoint? ment, at our six churches, that is not fixed on a Sabbath of the month which harmonizes with them-so that really all the people, may attend thc public worship iu God's house, at. some church, every Sabbath day. And how beauti ful is the spirit of Christian harmony and commingling here exhibited. Some of the warmest receptions I have h ac! in Newberry County have been in the homes of Presbyterians, Baptists and Lutherans, This is graciously in ac? cordance with my own Christian sensi? bilities. With expressions of warm remem? brance for many dear friends in Sum? ter, I am, truly yours, A. A. GILBERT. Shrewdness and Ability.
