Mrs. E. H. Jervey, mother'of onr townsman
R. Jervey, died on last Saturday morning,
funeral was held at the Methodist Church
yesterday, after which the remains were taken
in the country and interred in the family
burial groond, near Mr. Mason Reames, where j
several of her family had been buried.
A hen belonging to a gentleman in town,

oung chicks hatched out, which at last ac?
asta were thriving.
Quite a number of our citizens left this
morning'on the train, among whom we have i
ascertained the following: Mrs. D. J. Winn, j
Misses McCallcm, Herbert, Fleming, James, j
Raffle]d, McLeod, Hurst and Jennings, and J
Gen. G. Richardson, some for health, some I
for pleasure, and others to attend the Normal j

A match game of baseball will be played J
this afternoon between a colored club of this j
place and a club from Camden. The Camden
club accompanied by a band of music and a
number of friends, arrived this morning by I
private conveyances, and attracted attention ?
by driving through Main Street with the band j
playing.
We hear of a proposition mooted to form a j
stock company of the owners of the property
on Main Street from Bogiu's new store up to
the corner, together with others who have the
capital, the object being to build a brick !
with stores underneath and a hotel !
- So mote it be. A new comer to j
Sumter, who knows a thing or two abont the j
business has already offered to "keep the
hotel."
A communication in this issue, signed "No
Candidate," presents from his standpoint,
some thoughts worth thinking about. We
cheerfully give them place, as we believe in
free speech and a free press, and do not bold
ourselves responsible for other people's opin?
ions. If his remarks are applicable, it will
be well for those to whom they apply, to apply
them.
In attempting io subdue his dog, which ?

after killing some chickens, Moses concluded i
to act upon the advice of his neighbors, who
thought the dog mad, an d killed him.

Open Cotton.
We have In our .office an open boll of cotton,
apparently fully matured, sent us on last
Monday morning by Mrs. A- M. Feriter. from
her farm near town.
We see by the Clarendon Erderprise that
Maj. H. B. Richardson has been brought out
by bis friends for the Legislature. Maj. Rich?
ardson is a solid businessman who looks at
things in a practical way, and Clarendon
County could not do better than by sending
such men to,represent ber.
Everj* reflecting miud knows that the local
newspaper adds much to the general wealth
and prosperity o? the place, as well as in?
creases the reputation of the town abroad.
It benefits all who have business in the place,
enhanches the value of property, besides
being a public convenience, even if coodncted
in the interest of the ruling political power.
Its columns are not filled with brilliant edi?
torials, still it benefits you in every way.
It increases your trade; it cautions against
imposition ; it saves you from loss ; it warns
I you of danger; it points out different ad?
vantages and increases your profits. If you
want such a paper, you must not consider it
aa act of charity to support it, but as a
means to increase your own wealth as well as
that of tho place in which you live.
I would'ntbe a candidate.
Now I tell you the reason why ;
To every body I must bow and scrape
For a little vote to compensate.
I wouldn't be a candidate.
Because I have got to treat and blow,
And spout abont eternal principles
To make believe I am solid-you know.
Concord Democratic Club.
A combined meeting of the Zoar and Con?
cord Democratic Clubs was held at the meet?
ing house of the latter on Saturday the 29th
ult., and the following officers were elected:
President, Dr. W. J. Pringle.
First Vice President, R. M. Jones.
Second Vice President, J. J. Branson.
Secretary, S. S. Davi3.
Member of Executive Committee, Dr. W. J.

The following were elected as Delegates to
the Convention to be held in Sumter on the
14th: Dr. J. W. Pringle, J. D. Wilder, J. J.

The Club decided in favor of thePrimary

Anniversary of the Eichland Vol?
unteers.
To-day week the Sumter Light Infantry
will leave for Columbia to join, wita the
Wionsboro' Company, the Volunteers in
celebrating their anniversary. It is charac?
teristic of our Game Cock County that what?
ever ber citizens participate in, at home or
abroad, she likes to see them do their best and
come out second best to none. We are afraid
the Smithville trip and the extreme warm
weather will not act as stimulants to the
"flagging elements" of the S. L. I., and con?
sequently, unless every man turns out to drill
this week and makes up his mind to go to
Columbia, Sumter might be poorly represent?
ed on the 8th. The following is the pro?
gramme fur that occasion :
Meet Companies at Depot and escort them
to breakfast.
S a. m. Companies assemble at armory; 9.30
form and march down Main Street to State
House, return up Main Street to Boundry
Street and take wagons to theScheutzeh Platz.
Shooting for Prizes-10.30 a. m. by the
Company ; 11.30 by visiting Companies ; 12.30
p. m. by Battalion officers; 1 a. m. by Hon?
orary and contributing members.
2.30 p. m. Barbecue Dinner, toasts &c.
4 p. m. Distribution of prizes.

[Fer the Watchman and Southron.]
A Word or Two in Favor of Modera?
tion.
The excitement atteuding every political
contest is more or less harmful to the country.
At present there is nothing to justify it.
The people have the right to assemble and dis?
cuss public affairs and to advocate any poli- j
tical platform they prefer. And-they ace not ?
now in the mood to have this right "ia ter- j
fered with. And nothing now is to be gain- !
ed by fri tolerance which cannot be accom- j
plished without it. Without goiDg into de- |
tails, it is clear that as the election laws and j
machinery now stand, ihenegro ca.'UOt be a
material, much less a controlling factor in
politics. If any change is made, if the pre?
sent regime is to be overthrown it must be by
tite wiatt men of the country. If no change
is made, and ail hopes of a more liberal ad?
ministration has to be abandoned, the worst
immediate result will be the emigration of j <
large numbers of both races, whom the writer j
thinks the State can ill afford to spare, but ?:
who are known to be quietly preparing for j
such a result. Some will say, let them go.
A better judgment says, let reason and justice j
prevail and keep them here. Denuding the j 1
country of stock is bad enough. Stripping it j 1
of its population will be a still greater blun- ?
der, only .to be realized when too late to
remedy. NO CANDIDATE.
Messrs. Editors: I am a young unmarried
roan 25 years of age, and of pretty fair moral
habits. I am a farmer by training, and for
several years past have made my living by
?aid occupation ; but some how or other the
prospects are gloomy with me. I ask foryonr
advice publicly. Q.
Whoever "Q" is, we think from the tone of j.
his letter that he is-lonely, and all that is ne?
cessary to restore him toa happy fameof mind
is for him to get a help-mate (as well as a
help-eat.) Now young man, we would ad- J
vise you to marry some widow who has about j
nine sons and a farm ! and, after the honey- j
moon has been spent iu going round visiting j
all the relatives, to go right to work with !
those boys and make a success at faru.ing. I
For gooduess sake don't come to town ! For j
we have a good many fellows here who are I
now wearing out shoe-leather, pressing bricks
"free gratis for nothing."

A young man-a Sumter boy-away from j
home, hears of the death of a favorite pointer
(Snipe.) and writes:

WILLIE.
The August Vennor Promises.
Vennor makes the following predic- j,
iions for August. He is evidently dc- ! J
termined to keep people at home this j
Saintlier: "I cannot but think that !
August will bc another month of stomps i j
and unvsual rainfall, with oncer two re- j ?
markably low curves of temperature, j .
I expect snowfalls will be recorded in ! '
extreme western and northwesieru sec- !,
lions, and cold rains at more southernly j i
stations shortly after the middle of the j '
month. October will be very similar, j
bat of course colder." j j
What use is there to leave home when Ven- 1
nor talks about snow in August ? Vennor j1
is a bold fellow, but he struck it right on j $
July. .

Worth Remembering. j
Now that good times are again upon us. it \
is worth remembering that no one can enjoy j
the pleasantest surroundings if in bad health.

Mr. Sanders has been a most zealous Demo

oest serve Sumter County, and further the j
;ause of the democracy, it is not tur this rea?
son that he is now endorsed by the best and

hear much better.
I hare been greatly benefited.
My deafness helped a great deal-think
another bouie will cure me.
" Its virtues are unuqesiionable and its
curative character absolute, as the writer can
personally testify, both lrom exp?rience and
observation. Write at once to Haylock &

edy that will enable you to hear like anybody
else, and .whose curative effects will be perma?
nent. You will never regret doing so."-Ed?
