"pass" dnder the Registration , law, is a certificate that be who holds it is a ' worthy citizen, whose character entitles him to. tbeprivilge of exercising the right of a free man at the ballot box. On lust Sunday Bishop Howe, of Charles ' ton, preached an able sermon to a large and . .appreciative congregation in the Episcopal church. The holy communion was adminis ' teredj the' eleven newly confirmed members taking for the first time in their lives this - solemn rite. We are sorry to learn that tbe ' Bishop was suddenly taken ill and had to leave before the services were concluded. ^ In many portions of our County tbe peach I trees are bordened with fruit. It would be a ?]_wise step for the owners of all such to thresh off a portion of the fruit now, as the remain der will thereby be made better, as well as 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. An effort is being made to have a "Broom i^nH" is the near future to be given at Music Hall for the benefit of tbe Memorial Associa tion " The different young ladies of town are being solicited to take part Capt. Del gar, Wehear, will instrnct them scientifically in . 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 5SB5BS555BS 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 Drill Entertainment. The evening of June 21st has been fixed for this entertainment, which will be made more attractive by a Promenade Concert and Ice Cream entertainment. The price of ad mission will be50 cents; for reserved seats, 15 cents; for children under 12 years,'25 cents. An advertisement was received too late for this issue. Base Ball. . The Eureka Base Ball Club, of this place, met and re-organized on last Tuesday night The following officers were elected for the season : R. S. Hood, Captain. G. W. Reardon, Jr., President. C. P. Osteen, Secretary and Treasurer. The Club is now in a fine condition, and is ready to receive challenges from clubs in the State, from 17 years of age down. The Diamond shirt is what to wear, 'Twill please your fancy I own, None other can with it compare, j You'll find all sizes at H. A. Lowry's. j The attention of the State Volunteer Troops I in Sumter, Clarendon aod Kershaw, is direct ed to the Special Order of the Adjutant and Inspector General. The "Broom Squad" had its first drill yes terday afternoon. When we wrote the piece in the morning about it, we were rather be hind the times and at the same time poorly 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 tened on its completion, by a big "shindig," as the "Drummer's Home." 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 treme type of fashion, is pants cut skin tight, gently sloping toward the feet, where they are pasted to the ankles with mucilage, in tended to keep ants from cradling up a man's legs at pic-nics. The telegraphic dispatches of the News and Courier cost six thousand five hundred dol lars annually, or about one hundred and twenty-five dollars per week. As a purifier of the blood Ayer's Sarsapa rill a has no equal. It wonderfully improves the .complexion and gives to old and yonng the bloom of health. I 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 ? [From the Greenville News.] 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. Stokes has reformed since he killed Fisk. At that time he was quite a society man ar.d very fashionable ; now he has the handsomest bar-room in New York. -??- i mm i..

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 rying theJoad to the 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 seed, 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 TIME REQUIRED BY HAND. Two men with team can spread from la pile in the field 75 to 100 loads per day.
