^ In many portions of our County tbe peach
I trees are bordened with fruit. It would be a

off a portion of the fruit now, as the remain

larger, and perhaps also tbe trees may thereby
-be saved from breaking down. The quality
--'Wfll probably-be improved, and tbe quantity
cot diminished.
The Literary Society meets at Col. Blan
pding's Thursday evening. Considering the
^lively moonlight, the balmy zephyrs and tbe
\ melodious notes of tbe feathery songsters who,
-while as Nature seems to vie with Heaven
-. itself, will pour forth their sweetest songs in
-honor of the beautiful and harmonious scene,
it seems that it will be impossible for any one
not to attend the meeting on Thursday even
ing.
A certificate sf registration, instead of be
ing considered beneath the dignity of a free
and honorable citizen should be cherished as a
badge of distinction, it being conclusive testi
mony that tbe holder is an honest man and
pjrTSw^abiding citizen of the State. No thief,
-murderer or perjured man can hold such a
certificate.
A local newspaper man is generally expect
ed to be everywhere, see everything,, and
I catch every item afloat, simply because it is bis
profeasion. But he can't do it. His friends
can helfTihim through by sending or bringing
' such items as are of interest. All manner of
I legitimate local news go to make up an inter
esting paper.

. tbe ' manual of arms." Considering how
- well the broom is handled now by the most
gentle of tbe amateurs from natural instincts,
" there is cause for considerable uneasiness, and
for tbe,take of harmonious domestic circles,
it might be necessary to pass a law either pro
bibitiug this "Drill" or a temporary (until
*' tbe mau?is over) suspension of the manufac
ture'of this household implement.
'r The regulation law only excludes thieves,
perjurers, murderers and traitors from voting.
It also pretests voting more than once at the
fame election.
Jas. M. Epperson.
On last Thursday morning, Mr. Jas. M.
Epperson, who has been a painful sofferer, for
sometime past, of that dreadfcl disease, con
sumption, was released from bis sufferings
that were daily becoming more and more
trying. Although his relatives and friends
clung to the last ray of hope, the melancholy
end was far from unexpected, and the grief
when the spirit had finally left its tabernacle
of clay, and winged its way to that '^bourne
whence no traveller returns," was none the
less'keen, and unbearable.
Mr. Epperson came from Virginia several
years ago, and settled among us. Truly,
.might it be said, that Virginia lost and South
Carolina gained a quiet, modest, energetic
and honorable citizen ; and tberfeore, the one
has reasons to feel proud in raising, the other
though tearfully, in burying such a son.
The* funeral services were held, Friday
afternoon, at the Methodist Church after
! which the remains, followed by a large
I throng of sympathizing friends, were taken to
j the Cemetery for interment.

I Court.
As stated in our last issue, on account of
; Judge Hudson's absence, was not held until
! Tuesday morning, when after a brief charge,
/the Grand Jury retired their room, having in
their possession five indictments to be acted
upon.
A true bill was found against William Wil
son, who substantiated said rendering by
confessing his guilt, and he was accordingly
givea two years' free board on the banks of
the Congaree, where he will also have the
pleasure of "shucking off" his homely appa
rel, and be donned in an article aesthetically
woven in perpendicular stripes of blue and
- white.
Jno. H. Legare, indicted for aggravated as
sault and battery, Jno. Eingman, indicted for
assault with intent to kill, and Franklin W.
Tomlinson, indicted for assault and with in
tent to ravish, were acquitted.
The above, with a few unimportant cases in
the Court of General Sessions cleared the
Calendar for this term, about noon on
Wednesday, and the Court of Common Pleas
was called. The usual business, such as
hearing motions and taking orders, etc., in
cident to this Court, were attended to up to
12 o'clock Thursday night, when in the pro
found stillness of the night, the powerful
bronchial capacity of the crier sent forth: "0, .
yes 1 0, yes I this Honorable Court, etc, do
stand adjourned sine die," which as it came
sounding tbrongh the air arrested (we have
no doubt) the rambling souls of many a citi
zen in the mysterious Unknown, (for there
must be a region where the soul of man wan
ders when the flesh is at rest in sleep, and
where for all we know, it has a high old
time,) and stopped short their little sky-lark
ings, and hastens them back to their mortal
domains, where, upon their arrival many of
us were aroused from a pleasant little nap,
and as we turned over on the other side, not
the sweetest adjective that can be said, was
coupled with that crier's name.
Peaches.
Mrs. Moses Harrison, wife of our town jani
tor, has the thauks of this office for a couple
of sound June peaches.
Since the above was put in type we have
been preseuted by our friend Mr. C. E. Stubbs
with specimens of ripe Peaches from his gar
den.
The last and finest specimen in this line
was presented to us this morning from the
orchard of W. D. Blanding, Esq.

The "Broom Squad" had its first drill yes
terday afternoon. When we wrote the piece
in the morning about it, we were rather be

acquainted with human nature in not knowing
that girls do things in a hurry when they set
themselves to work at it.
Mr. Charles Spencer, County Auditor, has,
on account of ill health, tendered his resigna
tion, and at a meeting of the Delegation to
the Legislature from this County, held a few
days ago, Mr. Moultrie R. Wilson was reJ
commended for appointment to fill the vacan
cy i but we are informed that Mr. Wilson has
decided not to accept the office.
Mr. J. E. Jervey, the boss hotel man in the
State, called by yesterday afternoon and
drove us to his farm% We looked at his crop
of cotton and corn which, considering it was
planted on new ground, beats the record.
Upon a beautiful and picturesque hill, facing
the old Green Swamp road, Mr. Jervey con
templates building a nice residence tobe chris

The comet, which was heralded with such
a blare of trumpets, proves to be a very small
affair, after all. It is merely a baby comet,
aod not to be compared to its big brother,
which appeared last Summer. The New York
papers report that k was visible a few nights
ago about 11 or 12 o'clock ; but if any one
about Sumter has seen it we have not heard
of it.
An exchange observes with becoming grav
ity that this is the season for pic nics, red
bugs and love-makinsr. The same is true of
this latitude?at least as to the first and last
named pastimes. As to the second, we have
no positive knowledge, but can only indulge
in vague conjectures based on the restless
mcvemertsof a young friend of ours. We
suppose the hunted look in his eyes has some
meaning.
Registration does not force a man to vote,
nor does it take from any man the right to
vote for any candidate he may select. It
takes from no good citizen any right that he
always enjoyed.
The very latest for young men of the ex

I Will the Stores Close at Six?
According to the Holy Writ, after
the Lord had made this little ball upon
I which we live, and created everything
else along with man, He blessed and
hallowed the Sabbath day. Our Maker
knew of what material we were made of,
and consequently the Sabbath was not
set apart for His glory only, but as an
absolute necessity for the salvation of
the human race. This wise provision
of our Creator is generally adoiitted by
most of mankind. In fact some con
tend that even inanimate things require
some rest, and that when railroad
engines and cars are allowed a little
rest the atoms wbicb have been set ajar
by steady motion adjust themselves to
their natural position, thereby prolong
ing their durability and insuring safety
for a longer time.
Now this is a fast age; we eat, drink,
move and do everything else faster than
our forefathers, and, of course, all busi
ness men now require a little more time
for rest than they did. But notwithstand
ing all this, and. despite the degen
erating warm weather which is fast
approaching, it seems that two of our
prominent merchants, by not seriously
thinking of the "flagging elements" of
the poor clerks and the dire results in
consequence thereof, are bent in making
the six o'clock arrangement this year a
failure.
Look at your clerks! the long-way
off-yonder look in their eyes would raise
the most sanguine hopes in the breast
of the undertaker.. What is to be lost
if all will close at the same time ? How
much to be gained ? "Is there a man
with soul so dead" that can stand by
and realize all this, and not sign the
petition which is beiog carried around,
asking all the merchants to close their
stores at six o'clock ?

A CARD FROM GEO. D. TILMAN.
Jfot a Candidate, but Beady to Obey tho
Call of his State.
Washington, May 23, '82.
Mr A, B. Williams, Editor Green
ville News:
My Dear Sir?As you were the first
to suggest my name in a handsome ed
itorial for the next Governor of South
Carolina, and as that editorial has been
extensively copied and commented upon
favorably, for the most part, by the
press of the State, it is but proper that
I should take some public notice of tbe
proposed nomination, because in addi
tion to the newspaper comments upon
it, I am daily receiving private letters
about it.
In a few words, I prefer to remain in<
Congress, and am a candidate for re
election, but if tbe people in their State
Convention were to nominate me for
Governor, of course I would accept the
nomination.
It is also germain to say that as I
will not electioneer for such a nomina
tion, I am not vain enough to suppose
that I could get it over candidates who
are now and have for long, been aspir
ing to it.
Besides, I dislike to antagonize some
of the present well known candidates
for Governor, who may justly think
they have a right, to expect, at least,
my neutrality, if not active support, in
stead of having to encounter roe as a
competitor. Moreover my young friend, !
Ihe Hon. John C. Sheppard who bails j
trom the same county I do, has I be
fieve been recognized by common con
sent and without opposition as the next
Democratic candidate for Lieutenant
Governor. If I were to seek the nomi
nation for Governor, it might be con
sidered bad faith toward bim, because
it would either defeat us both, or cer
tainly endanger his candidacy for the
office he desires, since the State would
uot bestow both Governor and Lieuten
ant Governor npon the same county.
In view of all these facts, it seems
obvious that my friends-would be placing
me at a.great disadvantage to press my
name for Chief Magistrate of the State
at this late day in the canvas^. There
fore, I prefer not to be included among
the contestants for the Gubernatorial
chair this time.
Sincerly thanking you and the other
gentlemen of the press for tbe very fa
vorable presentation you have made of
my clain s to be chosen to the highest
office in South Carolina. I remain
Very truly yours,
G D. TILLMAN.
Tbe Southern States seem to be en
tering on a period of unexampled pros
perity. In 1880 the value of the lead
ing agricultural productions, as com
piled from the statistics of the Agricul
tural Department were : Cotton $280,
266,242 ; corn, $229.492 648; wheat,
$58,351,285; rye, $2,274,669; oats,
$24.462.137; potatoes, $6.603.534;
tobacco, $23.946,762 ; hay, $18,212.
724; rice, $5,500,000; sugar, $12,
500,000; molasses, $8,000,000. The
fisheries of the South are so valuable
that a member of the United States
Fish Commission predicts that the mul
let fisheries of Florida will become as
important as the cod fisheries of New
England. With such resources the
South should soon become the most
prosperous section of the Union, and !
second to none as a manufacturing
center.
The following States have been re
districted under the new apportionment
of Congressmen : New Hampshire, Ver
mont, Ohio, Michigan, Wisconsin, Illi
nois, Towa, Minnesota, Missouri, Ken
tucky, West Virginia, Texas and Mis
sissippi. In Massachusetts, New York, I
Tennessee and Nebraska the Legisla
tures are still busy with the problem.
Maine, Pennsylvania, Virginia, Kan
sas, California, North Carolina, South
Carolina, Georgia and Arkansas will
each elect one or more Congrcssmen
atrlarge. except in such of these Stat< 8
as are hereafter re-districted- In the
other States the Apportionment law
made no change in the number of Rep
resentatives, and the Districts remain |
as before.
