Every man- ought lobe trne to State and mmUy.. Don't fail to register. On last Wednesday quite a gale passed through the Spring Bill section, and blew dowft ft considerable quantity of oats. The military fever seems to he all the rage now. A new company has just been organ ted in Darlington. Mr, Willie F. Zemp, formerly of Ca m den, now of Ulis place, was married on last Thurs day evening, to Miss Alice V* daughter of the j late JT? T. Branson, of this town. . Every Democrat who Sails to register is an aider and abettor of radicalism. Rev. Horace Zernow, one of our fellow itet at Davidson College, preached in Pretbyterian Church on last Sunday Jo*.

Captain Aold and others of Sumter inter ested in military, propose going to Columbia to-morrow to see the-inspection, and to attend the grand Military Ball to-morrow evening. . Mr. C E. Bart let t left yesterday for Savan nah; Gai. to attend the Knight Templars' Meeting, which will be held in that city dur ing this week. A Gin-sharpener which was exhibited on the streets yesterday, attracted quite a crowd, sind the merits of said invention were fully ditcuiafd, . Every Democrat should register. The State will need every vote of her true patriotic citizens next Fall. The attention of our readers in the Lewis Chapel,. Wells X Roads and Lynchburg sec tions is directed to the change of place in tb% notice of the appointments of the Supervisor of Registration. The popularity of the Watchman and South ron is evidenced by the new accessions to our list both from this vicinity and from other State*, as well as by the regularity witb which our "old and reliable'' subscribers settle op and renew their subscriptions. The ground in the Mechanics ville and Spring Hill sections was too wet lest week to he plowed. Mr. Marion Sanders visited Rafton Creek last Sunday and reports Maj. Isaac Keels' crop, both cotton and corn, in splendid condi tion, surpassing any other in that section. J The Major has a fine store-house erected, and will soon commence a general merchandise business in connection with bis agricultural pa'rtuitt. -A colored-divine, of Mechanicsvile, was L caught stealing gum last week. He confessed Lbmgoilt, and after paying $20 to Trial Jos |tice Fraser for said offence, he went his way, reflecting on the frailty of human nature. The Edgefield Advertiser has already com menced to publish the names of its citizens who are willing to sacrifice $5 each to an nounce themselves as willing to fill office. If there are any in Sumter of a. like mind we invite them to call up. We can give them a Capt. Auld received yesterday an invita tion from the Hornets' Nest Riflemen, of Char lotte, X. C, requesting the Sumter Light Infantry to be present at the Mecklenburg Celebration, to take place on the 20th of this month. The S. L. I.-will be unable to accept the inviiation. Mr. f-'it. Bradford of Texas, and Mr. Frank G. Haynswortb, of Georgia, bptb form erly of Sumter, have during the past week given trr double pleasure by informing us : of their whereabouts, Ac., and also requesting their names to be placed regularly on our aubacription list. v AB lovers of the light fantastic toe, bear in mind that next Monday evening, Mrs. Por cher will give another delightful soiree* at Marie Hall, where on a waxed floor under the magical influence of the soft "Blue Danube," all cams are forgotten, and a blissful don't cara-a-ceot feeling can be experienced for the mall rum of half a dollar. Now boys, next Monday evening, be on hand with your quartern, and to the best of your agility, "daneeaJTnight till broad day-light apd go home w? your girl before t be old folks are : . It is important, very important, that every Democrat in the county register during May and June. Those who fail to register will notheallowed to vote next fall. Weomitted in our last issue to acknowl edge the receipt of cards of invitation, "with the Semi-Ctntenial Compliments" of Messrs. Walker, EvansA- Cogswell of Charleston, to ft basket pic-nk, on the 6tb, inst, in commem oration -of" the fiftieth business year of their bout*. The cards are very handsomely got ten up,and reflect credit as specimens of ar t?stic work. We see from the account pub lished in the News and Courier, that the pic nic was a great success, and an occasion long to be remembered. We regret not having been able to avail ourselves ?of the invitation, but are none the less grateful for the kind re membrance, and extend our best wishes for the long life and continued prosperity of the house?one of which we all as Carolinians may feel proud. Mr. Jno. 0. Durant of Bishop ville, has been quite sick for several days, and we were pained to learn this morning tbat he has bad a relapse, and is considered in a critical con dition. We are in receipt (too late for alteration in this issue,) from Col. A. Pope, of a revised schedule of the W. C. & A. R. R. which went into effect last Sunday. The change, however, is very slight, and only affects the time between Florence and Wilmington. The hour of services at the Methodist church has been changed from eleven to half past ten o'clock. Our Methodist brethren have exer cised much judgment in commencing, during I the summer, tbeir devotional exercises at an earlier hour. In fact we are fully convinced . that if all the denominations would commence ! their services, at an earlier hour, their congre g?tions would be larger. The Indian Doctor was on th? war path 1 last Saturday night, and, after trampbosing [ around extensively, be finally came to him* I self about midnight, and discovered that his circumnavigation was confined to a space six by eight, whereupon he most suppliantly I cried out: "I am not drunk I No ; I am not drunk ! For Heaven's sake, Mr. Hurst let me loutl" ! At the meeting of the Town Council last night, Mr. C. M. Hurst, was .re-elected Clerk and Treasurer, Mose Harrison, Janitor, and Philip Bossard, Scavenger- Driver. Council meets again to-night to elect the police foree for the ensuing year. The names of several gentlemen are spoken of for the position of Chief of Police, but if the Council, in decid ing the question in point, elects the man the I "araj?Tri?j^of'lhT'ato present in cumbent, (who for the last two years has fill ed the position to the utmost satisfaction, ) will be sure to be re-elected. ? Those of onr readers whose acquaintance with Sumter dates back before the war, and especially those who knew the "boys," will I no doubt appreciate the pleasure we experi- j enced on last Saturday ' on receiving a call { from our old friend Joe Nettles, who came ont a few weeks ago on a visit to bis relatives in this vicinity. Joe went ont to Missouri just after the war, and has made bis home out there, having established himself in railroad work, and also married and settled down. He looks as well as could be expected, consid ering the wear and tear of time. He has his wife and the "little Nettleses" with him and expects to stay a few weeks longer. Memorial Day On last Wednesday was modestly but ap propriately commemorated, by the citizens of Snmter. The stores in the afternoon were closed and all business operations suspended, and tbe solemnity of the occasion was heightened j by tbe church bells and the Town bell being tolled for half an hour. At half past four two wagons loaded with little girls all dressed in pure weite?symboli cal of the sacredness of the occasion?with wreaths in their hands, followed by the Sum ter Light Infantry, left Music Hall for the Cemetery. Having arrived at tbe Cemetery, tbe Sumter Light Infantry were marched to the Confede rate soldiers' graves, and formed into line facing them. The little girls, under escort of W. D. Blanding, Esq., were marched around and arranged into line in front of the Com pany, and near the graves. The ceremony was then begun by the choir singing the hymn, "Before Jehovah's Awful Throne," at the conclusion of which a beautiful and im pressive prayer was offered up by the Rev. Mr. Chreitzberg. The choir then sang the ode, "To Our Confederate Dead." The devotion al exercises being over, the little girls pro ceeded to lay tbeir garlands on the mounds o* departed worth. This accomplished in a beautiful manner, the Sumter Light Infantry fired three vclleys over the graves, and before the echoes had ceased reverberating, the graves and their heroic sleepers were left amid solitude and the sighing of the sur* rounding pines.

I > - The Guiteau Case. Washington, May 14.?The Post of to-day will publish a statement contr-dicting the re port that there ir a disagreement among the Judges of tbe District Supreme Court regard ing the Guiteau case, aad will say that the decision which will be delivered on the 22<1 instant affirms the decision of the court below, thereby disposing of Guiteau's last chance. - IM- ?? The New York World, referring to the re cent political trials in Charleston, says : "The only result, therefore, of this whole proceeding is tbat, whatever crimes may have j been committed at the election, a greater crime has been permitted by Judge Boud in J the method of selecting juries ; and after all, j the juries thus selected found none of the pris oners guilty." K. of H. Tbe ninth annual session of tbe Supreme Lodge, Knights of Honor, meet in Balti more on tbe 9th instant, Supreme Dictator W. B. Hoke, of Louisville Ky., presiding. There was a full attendance of officers and members, nearly every State and Territory in the Union being represented. J. W. Perrin and Dr. J. S. Hughson were the representa tives from this State. We are indebted to.Dr. Hughson for a copy of tbe Day, containing an account of tbe opening and first days proceedings of tbe Lodge and tbe reception tendered to the dele gates, from which we infer that they had a very enjoyable time. The report of the Supreme Dictator states that the growth of the order during the past year exceeded the most sanguine expectations, and 25,000 new members have been initiated. Three hun dred and thirty-five new lodges have been organized and there are now 2,800 lodges and 146,500 members. There were 1,124 deaths during the year, and since the order started in 1875,. 3.065 deaths have occurred. Last year, $2,211,135 65 were paid out in death benefits, and nearly six million dollars have been paid to widows and orphans since the order started. To pay tbe benefits dur ing the past year eighteen general assessments were made on the members. The supreme treasurer reports amount on band general fund, May 1, 1881 ; $27,000 18, which with the receipts during the year, make a total of $85,442 05. Total amount disbursed, $54, 488 22 ; balance on hand, $30,953 83. * American Enterprise. No invention of the nineteenth century has worked a greater revolution in household economy or conferred more of a benefit on hu manity than tbe sewing machine. The first productions were crude and on couth io tbe extreme, and it was reserved for American skill and ingenuity to bring forth a machine of any practical value. In order to appreciate the great advance ment which has taken place it is only neces sary to compare one of tbe machines bailt during the infancy of the invention with one of thelajes^jm^^e?^^ rT?nTeT^The rapidly increasing popularity of ' which is tbe envy of all its competitors. In tbe manufacture of this machine old ideas have been discarded, and io accordance with the progressive movement of the. age new mechanical principles bave been substi tuted of such inherent and absolute value as cannot fail to commend themselves to the most casual observer. For all kinds of domestic and manufactur ing work tbe "New Home*' is unequalled. All tbe really good points contained in otber machines have been utilized in its con struction. Many new improvements and devices have also been added, tbe result of wbich is machine as nearly perfect as it is possible to make one. For simplicity, durability, ease of manage ment, and capacity for work, the "Light Running New Home'.' bas no rival, and the happy possessor of one may rest assured that he or she has the very best tbe world affords All who send for the Company's new illus trated catalogue, and enclose their advertise ment (printed on another page,) will receive a set of advertising novelties of value to card collectors.

It has a movable bottom similar to the traveling bed of a tread power, which, by means of suitable machinery, when in gear, moves slowly between the sides of body, car ryiog'the load to tbe rear where it meets a swiftly revolving cylinder armed with teeth that picks the material to pieces and scatters it in fine particles as the team moves along. It-will pulverize and evenly spread all kinds of manure, from the coarsest to the finest, ashes and lime, wet or dry, marl, muck, cotton eeed, cotton seed meal, and all like fertili zers, with perfect uniformity, in any quantity per acre desired, either broadcast or in drills, in ONE-TENTH THE TIM? REQUIRED BY HAND. Two men with team can spread from a pile in the field 75 to 100 loads per day. Yet its chief merits lie in QUALITY OF WORK, the manure being so thoroughly pulverized and equally distributed that forty to sixty per cent, more bene6t is derived from tbe same amount than when pitched oot by hand in the ordinary lumpy, uneven way.
