?OVK?KOB'S DAY.
In pursuance of the previously announced
programme a number of the Democrats of
the town and County assembled on last Fri?
day to welcome Hon. Hugh. S. Thompson
and other distinguished speakers, who were ^
to address them.
At ll o'clock the Sumter Light Infantry
in full-dress uniform, accompanied by the brass
band, assembled in front of the Court House.
After forming ranks they marched to the Jer
veyfHousc, in front of which the procession of
the day was formed. This procession con?
sisted of carriages containing the speakers and
other.distinguished gentlemen preceeded by
the Sumter Light Infantry and followed by a
number of mounted men. It proceeded
through the principal streets of the town
to Monumental Square, where a stand and
seats had been prepared for the accomoda?
tion of speakers and audience.
The meeting was formally opened with
prayer by Rev. N. W. Edmunds after which
Hon. Hugh S. Thompson was introduced
with a few appropriate remarks by Capt. W.
R. Delgar, County Chairman. Col. H. S.
Thompson, said he had in the past received
kindly aid from the people of Sumter. Now
he came bearing the flag of the Democracy
through honor to victory. He referred to
thc deformity of the Greenback ticket. Leav?
ing out the question of McLane's incapacity,
the rest of the nominees were utterly incapa?
ble. It was hardly necessary to speak to the
people of the Gamecock County and warn
them ofGreenbackism. But he had seen in
Sews and Courier yesterday that while the
Democracy were united ou the State ticket
there was some talk of au Independent ticket
for this county, fCries of "Down with it.' ']
With nothing but the kindest feeling, with no
wo: ds of harshness for any one he appealed
to Lhern by the love they bore their State to
pause before they allowed any feelings of dis?
appointment to lead them to opposition to the
Democratic ticket. If divided this year, .at
the next election Sumter County would be
rent in twain and delivered over into the
hands of her enemies. A little ball of snow
by progress and accretion became the mighty
Alpine avalanche carrying destruction io its
path. Depend upon it an Independent ticket
was just what Republicans wanted. They
would always advise their voters to support
any bolting Democrat ticket. If there was
dissatisfaction with the Election law, the
Stock law or any other measure, correct them
within the party by the same method by
which they were enacted. Though the nom?
inees in the county might not have been
their choice they still bore the banner of the
Democracy, and it was their duty to carry
them., on to victory. [Great Applause.]
Look to the Legislature, for redress of griev?
ances. He would pledge his word that if any
existed they would be removed The heroism
and endurance of the Democracy of Sumter in
the memorable scenes of '76 and '78 were
brought forcibly to bis mind, and he never
could believe that these same men would not
again make as bright a record whatever their
ills or hardships. We owe it to our
wives, our - children, our sweethearts to
see that there are no quarrel or feunds-in the
Anglo-Saxon race. Should we not do so,
Men?, men?, tekel upharsin would ?[be written
on the wall, and the calamity of defeat would
come upon us two years hence.
Hon. Jno. C. Sheppard, who was then intro
duced by Col. Jos. H. Earle, delivered a for?
cible speech upon the same line of thought.
Gen. E. W. Moise introduced the next
speaker, Attorney Gen. L. F. Yuomans. He
said that everything depended upon the com?
mencement, the start, the germ of anything
or.any movement. To conquer any strong
people, any powerful party, it was necessary
to divide them. The illustration given in j
Plutarch was applicable to-day. It was a
homely one, but good. A man might take
both hands and holding a horse's tail strive
in vain with his full strength to pull it out,
but with one hand taking one hair at a time
be could strip it bare with ease. The applica?
tion could be seen. He quoted the fable of
the North Wind and the Sun striving to take
a traveller's cloak. The north wind blew
upon us in the Ellenton riot trials, but our
people stuck together and all the power of j
Grant and Cameron bad not subdued them.
Again last spring a gale blew from the North,
and political prosecutions were poshed with
desperate energy by the whole Federal Gov?
ernment, but not one of these persecuted men
could be touched because our people stuck
together and resisted the force. We could
not be subdued by force. Let us beware le-t
we cast off our Democratic cloak under the
glow of Radical seductiveness and lose by
carelessness what could not be taken from us
by strength. The National Democratic party
stood supreme -for generations, for it was
united, but in 1860 it let its passions and dis?
appointments divide it, and Abraham Lincoln
was elected. And what.has been the history
of the Democratic party since that day ? We
feel to-day the consequences of that fateful
division. No patriotism was required to ad?
here to party or State in success. The true
patriot wa3 he who stood to his colors in
spite of disaster and disappointment. Stand
for principles, not men. United you stand,
divided you fall. The danger to the Demo?
cratic party in this State to-day is in its
strengthj its self-satisfaction and serene as?
surance of success. Should we be found by
the enemy, like the people of Jeruselem when
invaded by Titus, quarrelling among our?
selves ? The fair future of promise lay before
us. He would beg, as he would his brother,
any man who felt inclined to independence of
Democracy, to strangle the feeling ia his
bosom and stand by the State and by dis?
people.
The last speaker, Hon. J. N. Lipscomb,
was then introduced by Gen. E. W. Moise.
He made an excellent sr-eech, and was fre?
quently cheered. At its close the meeting
was adjourned until the 12th proximo, when
there will be a joint discussion between the
Greenbackers and Democrats.
Terrible Accident.
Sammy Brogden, a thirteen year old
son of Mr. John I. Br ogdon in the Zoar
neighborhood, 8 miles from town, was fatally
wounded on Thursday last at mid-day, by
being caught on a revolving shaft athis fath?
er's steam-gin. How he was entangled, no
ooeknows. Eis father was standing only a
few steps away, and heard a noise as Sam?
my's head and feet were being dashed
against two heavy beams with each revolution
of the shaft, and this continued until the
main belt was thrown from its pulleys. Mr.
Brogdou then saw that it was his son, instead
of a loose belt, that t?ad been going the fearful
rounds. On going to him, he was found
lying across the shaft, mangled and broken.
Each arm was broken five or six times, and
each leg three times, while his skull was
crushed in several places. In despite of all
this, be lived long enough to be carried to the
house and to speak a few words. Life, how?
ever, soon became instinct, and on Friday
morning his remains were consigned to the
tomb. Sammy was a bright boy, and a great
help to his father.
Malaria seems to be very prevalent and
unusually severe at this time. Five or six
deaths from congestive chills are reported
among the colored people on the Wateree
near Rafton Creek.
There are eight or ten case3 of fever within
\ half mile of Cain's Mill, in Privateer Town
ibip.
Change of Schedules.
New Schedules went ioto efiect on the dif?
ferent Railroads last Suuday.
On the. W. C. & A. R. R. the Express
trains are not materially effected. The
Through Freight going to Columbia, passes
Sumter at 4.05 A. M., and going to Wilming?
ton at 10.10 P. M ; and the Local Freight
leaves Sumter for Columbia at ll A.M. and
for Florence at 1 P. M.
On the Central Road a material change has
been made, the trains arriving at 10.45 A.*"M.
and 3.10 A. M. and leaving at 12 10 P. M.
and 10.15 P. M.
Schedules in full will appear next week.
The Sumter Democratic Convention acted
wisely in nominating Col. Joseph H. Earle for
the State Senate last week. Col. Earle is one
of the ablest men in the State, and bas before
him a bright and useful future. With such
men as Col. Earle to lead, the Democracy of
Sumter County will overcome the heavy ot?s
that oppose them in tbe ensuing election,
achieve a great triumph in November,
best part of it, however, ia that when elj
he will make an efficient, honorable
fluential Senator.-Anderson hddlige

A CARD.
To the Electors of Sumter County :
Having been informed by competent, legal
authority, that there cannot be a lawful elec?
tion for Sheriff of Sumter County, until the
end of the term for which the late J, M.
Wilder was elected, viz ; the year 1884, I
take this method of withdrawing my name
from the ticket. In doing so, I return my
heartfelt thanks to my friends, in and out of
the Convention, who gave me their support,
and ask from them, as I promise for myself,
an earnest- effort in behalf of the regular
nominees for the other offices. .
Respectfully,
MARION SANDERS.

The latest song jewel from the great Music
Publishing House of the South. Oueof those
plantive negro melodies like "Old Black Joe,"
that touch the hearts of all. Its subject is a
faithful old-time servant whom freedom has
not used kindlv, and from whom the memo?
ries of "Ole Marster" and the "Ole Planta?
tion" call forth the pathetic lament :
"I am getting old and feeble and my hair ?B
turning gray,
And there is no one left on earth to care for
me,
And the hoe-cakes in the cabin they grow
scarcer every day,
Since I lost my massa when dey set rae free."
A song for the South, but it will ring
through the laud. First edition sold in a
week. Handsome blue and gold title page.

The Harvest Moon.
The September moon fulls to-night (the
26tb) at 11:56. It is the beautiful harvest
moon and possesses special claims to the dis?
tinction. For, owing to.the position of the
ecliptic in regard to the equator at this sea?
son, the moon rise3 for several consecutive
nights with only a comparatively small inter?
val between thc consecutive risings. The
short autumnal days seem thus to be pro?
longed by the floods of silvery moonlight that
make the night beautiful as day. The phe?
nomenon is as easily explained as the axial
rotation of the earth. But in the older times,
when man was nearer to nature, the harvest
moon was considered a direct interposition of
Providence to assist the husbandman in gath?
ering in the harvest. The wanning moon
was in conjunction with Neptune on the 2nd,
with Saturn on the 3rd, Jupiter on the 5tb,
and with Uranus on the 12th. The new moon
of the 12th was in conjunction with Mercury
and Mars on the 15th. And with Venns on
the 16th, passing a degree and a half north of
her.
