Struck by Lightning,
? Yesterday while Messrs. Albert Weeks and
pilgert Brad well were driving along the Pri
' ?steer road about 8 miles below Sumter, they
and the horse, were struck by lightning.
When they came to consciousness they discov?
ered that they had been thrown out of and sev?
eral feet from the wagon, and that it and the
harness were norlin the least injured, bot that
the norse was stone dead-evidently killed in?
stantly.. .
They say bow long they lay. on the ground
unconscious, can only be approximated by
the amount of rain which had just commenced
to fall when they were strack, and when
they came to, rv bad-stopped, and that, from
all appearances, it, could not have rained
more than half an hour.
The legs and feet of both these gentlemen
are severely bruised, the bruises on the legs
haring a blood-shot appearance. The hair on
the legs of each is completely singed off j
wherever the lightning touched it. Mr. Weeks
asd Mr. Bradwell further state that it was
with the greate?; difficulty and pain, after
they came tb themselves, that they could move
any of their limbs.
We are informed that about three years ago
a man and Iiis mule were killed' by lightning
yery near this sum? spot where Messrs. Weeks
and Bradwtil so narrowly escaped on yester?
day: 1 * * -

Sad Death of a Mexican Veteran.
Mr. SlomanB. Moody, of Rafton Creek, was
thrown from his buggy at Catchall yesterday
afternoon at five o'clock, and instantly killed.
He had been to Sumter, and was on his way
home, in company with bis brother. The
mule they were driving became frightened and
jumped to one side, throwing Mr. Moody out
upon his head, causing concussion of the
.praia. Mr. Moody was a good citizen and has
been ror many years a cripple from a wound
received in the Mexican war, through which
he served in the famous Palmetto Regiment.
Burnt to Death by Kerosene.
Last Friday night- between 10 and ll
o'clock, two children, (about 3 and 5 years,
old,) of a colored woman living in the upper'
^part of town,* were burnt to death;. The moth?
er had gone to church, leaving the two"
unfortunate creatures to the care of the two
eldest children who, in preparing to cook
some bread, started the fire by pouring some
oil out of the kerosene can on the wood, and,
after which, thoughtlessly set the can in- the.
corner of the chimney. While the bread was
-being cooked, the two youngest went to sleep
in front of the fire place, and consequently,
when the caa exploded, they vere in the best
position to be completely covered bytthe burn?
ing fluid.
The sight of the poor little suffering vic?
tims, roasted and almost charred, were heart?
rending and called forth sympathies that were
unavailing. The youngest child died about
half an hour after tbe explosion-, and theo ther
early Saturday morning.
Another awful warning to those in the hab?
it of leaving kerosene in the reach of children
who have not arrived at years of discretion.
Saturday's Sensation.
At about 12 M., on Saturday, R. D. Reed,
the negro aspirant for the Sumter Post Office,
followed by a boy ringing a bell," proceeded
to a bench in front of the* Court House, with
the intention of makin* a speech. The ring?
ing of the bell soon attracted a crowd of
whites and blacks, and Reed* commenced by
saying, "the Sumter crank is on the stand."
From this he proceeded to lay charges against
certain republicans who have had virtual
control of the Joint Stock Store. "White
Republicans,", said he, "stick jclose to' the
nigger because they think they can get some
money out of them, while mulatto- Republi?
cans, who are going around saying they will
sacrifice their lives for the Republican party,
want .to fill their pockets, and that is ali." .
Hereupon Reed proceeded to attack Sam
Lee, saying the penitentiary will catch him
when he comes from Washington. His effort
to prove Lee's dishonesty was based upon
certain mortgages over the property of the
Joint Stock Company given b?y Lee and other
directors, while the receipts frora certain sales
bad not been appropriated to lift these mort?
gages, but had been stolen by Lee.
At this juncture of the speech, Alfred Brun
son, another negro, jumped upon the stand by
Reed's side, saying be had come to defend
Lee, if be had to whip Reed and go to jail.
Said he, -No gentleman in town can say a
word against Lee's character, while Reed's
brother had been shot and killed for stealing
a hog, and Reed himself had cheated blind
Scipio's wife out of a half-dozen eggs.
After the interruption, or rather in the
midst of it, Reed proceeded to say that M. F.
Hewson, of whom we hear so much talk, was
no better than Lee, and had stolen $1,000
from the colored printing company, and that
these charges would yet go into court. In
thisconnectioo, he called the name of Rev.
dawson, when the ecclesiastic punched Reed,
with an umbrella, and'ordered vociferously
that his name should not be called. Zach
Walker and others leaping on the stand gave
the same orders, quite informally, and the po?
lice putting- in an appearance, the curtain*
fell before the oration was finished.
It is of no material interest to ns whether
Reed was allowed to speak or not, -but as this
is a free country, we think he should have
been allowed to speak unmolested, and that
the police power should , have been used
igainst those who disturbed him, rather than
against Reed himself.
As be is an aspirant for the Post-office we
bear that his attacks upon Lee mean some?
thing in this direction.

The Review.
Last Thursday between 1 and 2 o'clock the
Military of the County, consisting bf the
Sumter Light Iniantry, Capt.D. J. Auld, {41
men,) the Stateburg Volunteers, Capt. R. M.
Cantey, (26 men,) and the Salem Troop,
Capt. E. M. Cooper, (25 men,) were inspected
an Monumental Square by Gen. Manigault
and Staff.
At the conclusion of the review Gen. Mani?
gault made a short and complimentary
speech to the companies, impressing upon
them the importance of a well organized
Militia in every county, "which he was glad
to say, by the present turnout to-day, he
thought they fully realized, and that be
hoped it may ever be thus to the honor and
glory of the Old Game Cock County." -
At 8 o'clock that evening the S. L. I. as?
sembled at Music Hall, where those wishing
to contend, entered into the competitive drill
which resulted in Sergt. Phelps, Sergt.
O'Connor and Private Durant winning the
first, second and third plumes respectively,
for the best drilled in the manual of arms.
After the delivery of the plumes the remain?
der of the evening wa3 devoted to dancing.

Registration.
Capt. P. P. Gaillard, -Supervisor of Reg?
istration, opened the Registration Books here
yesterday morning, and is now engaged
issuing certificates. As we have written
much on the importance of registering,
we hope the bare mention of the fact,
that the Snpervisoi is in Sumter issuing cer?
tificates, will be sufficient to remind our
citizens of their duty.
Candidates.
As will be seen in this issue of the Watch?
man and Southron, several new names are
added to the list, v?t Capt. E. M. Cooper, for
the Legislature, Marion Sanders, Esq., for
Sheriff, and Mr. J. Diggs Wilder for School
Commissioner; and also that Col. J. Harvey
Wilson, in a graceful and patriotic manner
declines the nomination for the Legislature.
Base Ball.
The Eureka Base Ball Club, of this place,
left last night for Camden, and are, we guess,
by this time trying to show the young Cam
denites a thing or two w jth the bat and ball.

Messrs. Editors : Allow me, through yonr
columns, to return my thanks to my
friends for again placing my name in nomi?
nation for the Legislature. Under existing
circumstances T must respectfully decline
being a candidate at the ensuing election.
The exigency of the times demand that I
should lay aside all feelings of personal con?
sideration, and look solely to the good of the
Democratic party. While I have no regrets
to offer for the course I took in the Legisla?
ture, I am cognizant of the fact, that, in one
or two instances, that course has not met
with the approval of some of the party, and
were I knowingly to be the cause of a single
man in the Democratic party bringing to its
aid even a lukewarm support, I would be
false to every instinct of my nature. In de?
clining to be a candi? ,te_my zeal shall not
be abated the least. iVo man in the County

Again thanking you for yonr kind consider

MANY FRIENDS^

Messrs. Editors : If there is J?, tendency
among our Democrats- to lay aside old fogy
notions in politics and an earnest desire to
cast their votes for a man, not because he is a
good, quiet and honorable citizen, but because
be is the right man for the place, then it is with
patriotic pleasure that we nominate Mr.
MARION SANDERS for Sheriff. Although
Mr. Sanders has been a most zealons Demo?
crat, working with might and main in every
campaign, in whatever direction, be could.'
be6t serve Sumter County, and further the
cause of the democracy, it is not for this rea?
son that he is now endorsed by the best and
most influential citizens for Sheriff, but by
reason of his qualifications and peculiar tact
for Ihe office. His extensive acquaintance with
the people and knowledge of the affairs of the
county make him a candidate likely to be
sustained by the entire Democratic Party.
MANY VOTERS.
FOB COMPTBOLLE^??ERAL.
Messrs Editors : As the time is rapidly ap?
proaching for the session of our Democratic
State Convention, we beg to present for the
consideration of that honorable body the
name of CAPT. WM. E. STONEY in connec?
tion with the office of Comptroller General.
We would not claim ac y thing for him on
account of his gallant conduct during the
war, though his wounds could speak eloquent?
ly in his behalf. With our people such con?
duct was the role and not the exception. If
we refer to it, it is simply as of an instance of
duty well performed.
Knowing this gentleman's character and
ability we put him upon his merits, as a citi?
zen in every respect worthy of the high posi?
tion to which we nominate bim. Already yell
informed as to its duties, he would bring to
the office the purity and steadiness of princi?
ple, the high intelligence, and the clearness
and exactness of a mind well disciplined by
education, insuring a successful administra?
tion thereof, which would be rendered still
more acceptable by his unassuming dignity
and pleasant manners.
