TUESDAY, AUGUST 22. J. Av MOOD/M, D.)^ J). B. ANDERSON, Jf?IT0?S* TheJSTumter ""TFaicAwitfTt was founded ?n 18??-: and th? True Southron in 1866. The Watchman and Southron BOW has the combined circulation and influence of both of the old papers, and is manifestly the best advertising medium in Sumter. The Camden papers are making~stren uous appeals for the speedy building of the Short Line Railroad. Colored people in Clarendon County have revived the whipping post and. are lashing malefactors of their own color for such offences as watermelon steal? ing, .y President J. H. Cariise has declined ! tbe-Presidency of the State University, j y being unable to bring himself to aban- I don Wofford College. This is quite a " disappointment to the entire State. Ia the Congressional Convention of the Fourth District held at Union last Tuesday, Col. J. H. Evins, of Spartan? burg,, was nominated for re-election to j Congress on the-sixty-fourth ballot. Ex-Judge T. J. Mackey, of Chester, i " and Col. E. B. C. Cash, of Chesterfield, are both announced in the Reform j ?~ Signal as independent candidates for j Congress from the Fifth District. It j v. is not indicated yet which one will be p supported by the greenbackers. The preachers of Toronto, Canada, refused to baptize a child named Mo bammed, because they said this was not % % Christian name. The mother had to r give him a new name before the rite could be performed. The latest styKat a wedding now is to present each guest with a piece of the bridal cake in a box shaped like ai horse-shoe and tied with a 'true lover's j knot' of white satin ribbon; the ends of j .^wiich bear the monogram of the bride ? and groom. An absurd rumor has been started J lo the'North to the effect that a eav-? airy force composed of ex-Confeder- j ates is being organized in the South i ? to go to the aid of the rebellious Arabi j ? Bey in Egpyfe. The locality of the al- j leged organization is not given. ! Here is a masterpiece of sarcasm and j true wit from the New York World: j *Bob Ingersoll, who does not believe iu ! - the Bible or God, has at last found ; one thing that he does believe in-the innocence of the Star-routers-and he lias to be hired to believe in that.' The New York Times says : 'How possibly to get a really safe and sound five per cent, investment is indeed the problem of the hour, and is likely to re? main so/ And yet some folks continue . to insist upon a much larger profit. " Some may suceeed ; but the majority will not. A Washington correspondent truly says that of ail bis compeers in the Sen? ate Mr. Hill is the last-who would have been selected by human vision as the first of that body to die. He had no thought himself that he woulds so soon follow Gen Burnside. A colored poiitican, desirous of a Baltimore office, puts it thus : 'We owe ^nothing to the South, we owe nothing tc^th?f?rorth: They became embroiled and th?-negro slipped between and got _^Jiis" freeSom.' Volumes ?ave been written to express the same idea. To the Carolina Sun, published at Cheraw, Chesterfield county, belongs the honor of first advocating the name of Hon. Hugh S. Thompson for the Democratic nomination for governor* and it should have credit for good taste and judgment in addition to the amount of influence it may have exer? cised. There are seventy-two cotton seed oil mills in the -South. They worked up 200,000 tons of seed last year, and produced 7,000,000 gallons of oil, worth ?3.000,000. One-sixteenth of the seed was worked. It is estimated that 98,000,000 gallons could have been made, worth ?50,000,000. In cotton there is great wealth for the .South. Congress adjourned without passiug the usual resolution of thanks to the Speaker of the House. It was known, by the Republicans that the Democrats would not vote for' iii, and as there would be no quorum it could not pass. Certainly the Democrats could not, with consistency and sincerity, return thanks to a man who was a mere partisan pup? pet, and they did right in not acting a lie. Speaker Kiefer must be contend to go off with the thanks of the Stal? warts alone privately expressed. A nude colored woman, as wild as a gorilla, is startling the people of the Marvel section of Missouri. She has been seen several times, and the last time threw a young lady who ivas horseback ?riding into hysteria, and with a grunt, not unlike that of a wild hog, jumped up and ran io to the forest. At the time of her discovery she was burrow? ing into the side of the road, catching andeating crawfish, which she ate, claws, hide and all. She is very black, and foams at the mouth when angry like a wild animal at bay. The Columbia Register one of the best papers in the State has reduced the subscription price of the daily, and tho following announcement is made ; On and after this date (August 13, 1882,) the price of the Daily Register to subscribers outside of Columbia, will be six dollars a year : three dollars for six months ; two dollars for three months. It will be the aim of the pub? lisher to make the paper as acceptable to the public in all respects as the patronage bestowed will warrant, and a prompt and liberal response in new subscribers will speedily enable him to send out a newspaper which will have no superior in point of news. All sub sciptions to be paid in advance. The Camden Jouirai says : After an absence of six years Cadet Whitaker returned to CamdeD on Tuesday last to visit h?s family. He is looking a little older, but has not otherwise changed. One of the staff of the Journal had quite a protracted conversation with him the day after his arrival. He appeared to be in first rate spirits and seems to have borne his try ic g ordeal with mach fortitude and manliness. He speaks frankly, openly a:;d unreservedly, pre? serving with becoming care his dignity when he alludes tu the indignities which have been inflicted upon him. His views are clearly defined, and he has no hesitancy in freely expressing them. He is by no means wedded to the idea that bis race is dependent upon the Radical party for their life aud exist? ence, but he takes broader and higher vie^s, and says that his advice and ef? forts with them is to lay aside party and take the best men for office. He speaks exceedingly kindly of the people South, and while talking impressed us with the sincerity of his feelings. He ridicules the idea of negro emigration, and says that this is the land for them. Upon the whole we were pleased with the courteous, polite bearing of the ex-cadet, and could but sympathize with bim, when he, at our solicitation, told his chapter of woos. The Coming Campaign.

In writing upon the acceptance of j Gen. Capers, thc Anderson Intelligen? cer says: Gen. Capers adds very great strength to the ticket, which, as a whole, is in? comparably the best that has been of? fered to tbe people of the State for many years. There ?6 not a man on the whole ticket whose private charac? ter is not high and above reproach, and there is noe one whose publie record is not pure and uncontaminated by any taint. They are all honorable gentle? men, of fine abilities and rare adaption for the offices to which they have been elected. The democracy has nothing to fear in the app-jaching canvass in this State. The Lexington Despatch seems nev? er to weary in extolling the merits of our prospective Governor. It speaks of him in the highest terms : Ju fact, he would have in a few days ! been elected President of the Uuiversi ! ty of South Carolina, and he preferred ! an academic to a political career. It is j noteworthy, too, that the platform, adopted by the Convention, calls for aid from the National Government to educate the negroes. The educators are surely not the worst men in the State to be placed in charge of public affairs. Colonel Thompson's nomina? tion bas been enthusiastically received j throughout the length and breadth of j the State by the people. Some of our readers may be suprised j by the following announcement from the t Edgfield Advertiser ; but we guess the j Abbevillians know what they are doing : j The primary election took place in j Abbeville on Saturday last, and Dr. Maxwell beat Gen'l. Hemphill for the Senate by some 165 votes. Of the can? didates for the Legisiature, Bradley, McGee, Parker, Gary and Wideman received a majority, and are nominated ? Mr. Hemphill looks calmly upon his defeat, and says cf it in the Medium of the 17th : We will not have our mind distract ! ed with politics in future and will de ! vote ourselves especially to adding io- ! j terest to the columns of the Medium. ! Our principles will not change. One j may be wounded in battle but the right does not die. Now is the time to hand in your names and money. The Barnwell Sentinel publishes an editorial comment on radicalism, and heads it "The Rottonists Assemble." It says : The Executive Committee of the Re? publican party held a jubilee at thc U. S. Court House, in Columbia, last week, composed of the following dignitaries : Mackey, Johnson, Brayton, Tuomey i and otbers, but they were compelled tc admit that thc State ticket was so good that they couldn't oppose it. They will, ] however, give their aid to the Green j back movement, if that party should j run a ticket. Mackey is to prepare an j address to the party and have it pub ! lished, along with a call for a meeting j on the 12th of September. i The Darlington Ne/cs has the brag J about Mr. Dargan, thc nominee for j Congress from the 6th district : j Geo. W. Dargan, Esq. the nominee ! for Congress from the 6th Congressional ! District, is a native of Darlington. He { graduated at the Citadel Academy, and j entered the aiujy with the first company j that left our town. After the war he i engaged in planting, and in 1873 com ! menccd to practice law. A hard stu ! dent, a clear thicker, and a sound ar ! gucr, he rapidly rose in his profession, j In 1877 he was elected to the Legisia 1 ture and re-elected in 1878. In 1880 ne was elected as Solicitor of the 4th Circuit, which position he now holds. As Solicitor he has com? manded the admiration of judges, law? yers aud juries, for his impartiality, his earnest work in doing hts whole duty to the State, and for his untiring zeal in the study of his profession. His keen insight into human nature, his thorough knowledge of law, and his knowledge gained by thorough reading of the great questions of the day, added to his high character, will give us a Congressman of whom we can be justly proud. He will be no mere voter or lobbyist, but will be one who will strive to make the name of his district and her people known in Congress, as pure and noble people. Joint Summer Meeting Of the State Grange and State Agri? cultural and Mechanical Society. The sixth joint summer meeting of the State Grange and State Agricul? tural and Mechanical Society was held | in Anderson on Tuesday and Wedoes- i day, 15th and 16th of August. The | meeting was called to order by Mr. J. Willett Pr?vost, President of the An? derson Partners' and Mechanics Associ? ation, and the proceedings were opened with prayer by Rev. F. P. Muilally, President of Adger College, Walhalla. The session was presided over jointly by Hon. James N. Lipscomb, Worthy Master of the State Grange, and Cel. D'ArceyP. Duncan, President of the South Carolina Agricultural and Me? chanical Society. In the enrollment of delegates it was found that eight couny agricultural societies were represented, besides delegates from the city of Columbia, the Columbia Board of Trade j and the Georgia Agricultural Society, j and from the Darlington, Fairfield, Marion and Anderson Pomona Granges. The total number of delegates enrolled j was forty-three, but subsequent arrivals i swelled the aggregate to about seventy. | An address of welcome on behalf of j the citizens of Anderson and of the I County Agricultural Association was i delivered by Hon. B. F. Cray ton, and was responded to by Col. D. P. Dun- j can, which was followed by an address j of welcome on behalf of Pomona j Grange of Anderson County by Col. E. j M. Bucker, responded to by Col. J. N, Lipscomb. The first regular essay was read by Col. Wm. H. Evans, of Darlington, on the subject of "Farm implements and machinery-our wants." He took the position that farmers should not do any? thing by hand that they can do by i horse power, and that they should not j do anything by horse power that they j can do by steam, depending upon the | extent of their operations. When the i reading of the essay had concluded the I subject was opened for general discus- j sion, which was participated in under i a five-minute rule by Mr. C. H. Moise, of \ Sumter, Gov. Johnson Hagood, Col. J. N. Lipscomb, of Newberry, Mr. W. G. Child, of Columbia, Hon. B. F. Cray ton, of Anderson, aud Col. T. J. Moore, of Spa-taoburg. Following this discussion a very in? teresting address on the subject of "the true interests of the people and their duties," was delivered by Col. John S. Richardson, of Sumter, member of Congress from the First-District. He was followed in some very interesting remarks by Col. A. F. Edwards, of Darlington. The next regular essay, on the sub? ject of 'Cotton seed-feeling and ferti? lizing value,' was read by Joseph B. Humbert, Esq., of Laureus. This essay was highly spoken of on all hands and the discussion of it was participated in by Prof. J C. McBride, of the South Carolina University, Mr. Hinson, of Charleston, member of the State Board of Agriculture, Hon. B. F. Crayton, Dr. T. T. Moore, of Colum? bia, and Col. T. J. Moore, of Spartan burg. A great deal of interesting informa? tion and many practical ideas were brought out in this discussion and at its conclusion the meeting adjourned until 10 o'clock Wednesday. On Wednesday morning owing to a meeting of the State Grange which was being held in Temperance Hall, the joint meeting did not convene until about ll o'clock. Owiug to a pressure of oilier business we were uuable to attend Wednesday's session until near the close, and we fail? ed to get a synoptical report from the Secretary as we had expected. The following was the programme of the day, ejjch subject teing discussed very generally and with a great deal of in? terest : 1. Progressive Agriculture as aided by our Agricultural University and these two societies, by Col. D. P. Dun? can, of Union. 2. Address on agricultural education, by Prof. J. C. McBride; of the State University. 3. Cereals, grasses and forage crops -kinds, with varieties adapted to the South ; methods of planting, culture and preserving, by Mr. W. G. Childs, I of Columbia. 4. Importance of an agricultural journal. 5. Live stock-varieties, economical feeding on Southern products, by Col ? T. J. Moore of Spartanburg. A number of resolutions were intro? duced, discussed and adopted, amoog them one condemning the lien law aud declaring it antagonistic to the best in? terests of agriculture iu this State. This was adopted without a dissenting vote. It was generally agreed that it was un? necessary to memorialize the Legislature on the subject, as that was done last year, accompanied with a failure to ac? complish thc desired cud. Another resolution was adopted providing for the purchase of the Ayrshire and Jersey I Herd Books for the use of the societies, it being urged by Capt. J. C. Stribling, I that the State Fair had been imposed upou by parties exhibiting cattle as thoroughbreds when such could not be sustained. Invitations were received to hold the next joint summer meeting at Marum C. H. and at Union, and after some dis? cussion, upon motion, it wa? decided io hold the next meeting at Mariou C. II. in August., 1883. Gov Ilngood offered resolutions in re>pect to the memory of th? late Dr. St. Julien Raveuel, of Charleston, which were unanimously adopted by a ribing vote, after which the meeting adjourn? ed at 2.45 p. m.-Anderson Journal.

Editors : As I have just re? turned from a visit to Lancaster, perhaps a few dots would prove of interest to some of your readers. The crops in the Western portion of the county, between the village and Catawba river, are fine, except in a few localities where they have suffered for rain. The corn is very good; cotton is about two weeks behiud, but will'inake au average yield if this proves a late fall. Oue gentleman that I heard of has a piece with the rows six feet, across which the cotton is DOW lapping and is over seven feet high. A great macy oats are being planted. Some of thc farmers are turning under their stubble land, with an addition of a half bushel or three pecks of seed per acre ; while others are sowiDg them in cotton land when plowing it the last time. They are fully convinced that the red oat is the salvation of South Carolina. The Dourah Corn-has given satisfac? tion in Lancaster. I saw some that has been cut three times. It makes a splen? did feed, either cured or in a green state, and has not that tendency to make a horse "washy*' that most green vegeta? tion has. The crops about Salem Camp Ground are reported to exceed anything they have had since the war. Politics are "lively ;" the political arena is filled with ambitious candidates, and each one is confident of success ; but doubtless some aspirant must be dis? appointed. In the eastern part of Kershaw the crops are the finest within the recollec? tion of the oldest inhabitants. On some of those old sand bills where it seems as if vegetation could not live, there is now a flourishing growth I heard of one old gentleman, who proposes to eat, driuk and be merry, as he is now seven? ty, and will make enough to support him the rest of his life, if he does not exceed a hundred. The inhabitants of that section have agreed not to enforce the stock law, but to feuce their crops as heretofore. In the Southeastern corner of Ker? shaw the Greenbackers are solid to the man. About Bishopviile the crops are good and politics "hot." In this immediate vincinity too much rain is causing rust, and cotton to shed off. The epidemic, sore-eyes is among us. C. H.

There are several points of interest near this place such as the Nott, Black. Thompson and West Gold Mines. The last named is worked by a Northern company. Steam power is used, and they are getting at present about thirty dollars worth of gold every day. The Clifton Factory is a live place, with fifty cottages, aud everybody as busv as a bee. I am told they have' had an order from China. Last year they cleared a dividend of twenty-two per cent.
