TUESDAY, OCTOBER 3. J. A. MOOD. M. D., EDITOR. The Sumter Watchman was founded ht 1850 and the True Southron in 1866. The Watchman and Southron now has the combined circulation and influence of both of the old papers, and is manifestly th? best advertising medium in Sumter. It is estimated that there has been no less than 50,000 watermelons shipped north daily from Atlanta, Ga.

The parties lived near Cross Hill. Mr. Fuller, while engaged to [ Miss Jones, suddenly married another 1 'woman-hence the suit. The plaintiff i ---jrnrtedjbe promise and the breach; f the defendant pot np no testimony ; and the jury found for the plaintiff $9,000 damages. v _ Sam Leihas determined to remain I in the field as an Independent Candi? date for Congress in the Seventh Dis? trict.

They are willing to concede a c Might loss ia Ohio, but feel confident 1 Piney will more than overbalance it by Expected gains in the South. That's 1 The Radical authority is looking 1 for aid and comfort from Southern In- c dependents, disguised as Democrats. * And yet some men who" hate the very ( idea of Republican domination will 1 . rote for Independents ! t There are forty-two churches for the * white population of 8,235 in Newberry 1 County.

Lang won by a i stroke that rendered Lykins insensi- t ble. i Melissa Power and Addie Johnson, J young women, fought with carving ' knives in the yard of their residence in ? New Orleans last Friday about a young J - man who had been paying attentions to i both of them. Both women were < frightfully cut on the face and all parts < of the body.

O. S. Kamp. The dia- j rmonds were insecurely kept in a show case fastened with two smalls pad-locks, and the owner had no one in charge to * guard the property. Visitors to the t w. the Exposition saw two men go to the 1 case "and open it with such apparent i ease as to give the impression that they were the owners. After selecting all * they wanted they quietly walked away. * Ten minutes after the theft was discov- \ er ed. :. In the Republican Convention of the 7th District, after a bitter struggle < which has lasted just one week? E. W 1 M.

A stormy seen ensued, Mackey's colored competitors Lee and Smalls, charging him wit having secured his Domination by bri bery. Lee displayed, as evidence, promissory note for ?250 given b Mackey to a delegate for his vote. I is understood that there will be n Democratic candidate in the distric and Lee and Smalls are expected t run against Mackey-making a trian gular Republican fight. SOUTH CAROLINA TROUBLES The troubles which occured at Lan caster and Winnsboro' last week, an? which have been so widely publish* throughout the United States, ar greatly to be deplored, not only on ac count of the demoralization and loss o life which they have occasioned, bu also on account of the effects which sad occurrences invariably produce opot the political and business interests o the State, The reputation of Soutl Carolina among Northern people is no of the most flattering character, as most of us know, its inhabitants being re? garded as peculiarly blood thirsty, with a strong proclivity for red shirts and shot-guns. Such an opinion, if wi del) spread, (it makes but little difference whether true or otherwise,) is directly damaging to her business interests, ef? fectually checking an influx of capital and immigration', and alienating the confidence of those whose assistance would be of considerable benefit. So long as we are regarded by the world as a turbulent people, among whom life and property are insecure so long will the poor man pay usurious rates of interest, and the immigration bureau be a useless institution. It is of little practical benefit, to protest in the local press, against political slanders of the Republican party where there is the slightest pretext for accusation or a possible excuse for the manufacture of sensational reports. It matters not how entirely foreign to a party feeling may be the cause of any disturbance of the peace, or bow completely the Dem? ocratic Party may eshoo orate itself from blame, every such occurrence is immediately heralded throughout the North by Radical organs as "Another Act of Bourbon Outrage," and serves to strengthen the prejudice against us which Republicans have so assiduously cultivated. It is, therefore, of the itmost importance that forbearance and restraint be exercised by every citizen ;o the last degree, under the trying cir? cumstances which frequently arise, for t is by these means alone that the full neasure of material prosperity can be illly realized by us. THE SHERIFF TO BE AP? POINTED. The recent arrival of a few copies of he Revised Statutes of the State has evealed the fact that there could be no flection for Sheriff in this County at the text election. It is the cause of no j ittle regret that this information was tot obtained sooner, since much annoy mee to the candidates for that office, md some bitterness among their friends, night have been thereby avoided. The following law definitely settles the [uestioD as to the time of electing our text Sheriff : SECTION 160. There shall be a gene al election for the election of the fol owing County officers, to wit : Judge >f Probate, County Commissioners and School Commissioner, held in each bounty at every general election for nembers of the House of Representa Iv?s ; and for the election of Sheriff, Coroner, and Clerk of the Court of Com? oon Pleas, at every alternate general s lection, reckoning from the year one housand eight hundred and eighty. SECTION 642. There shall be an elec ;ion for the County Sheriff's held in ?acb County, except the Counties of Berkeley, Darlington, and Hampton, it the general election in 1884, and on be same day in every fourth year there? after. In the Counties excepted, the election shall be in 1882. There is however some difference of )pinion among our lawyers with regard :o the length of time the present in? cumbent will serve. The following, which was the law at the time he re? ceived the appointment, effectually set? tles that point also, in our judgment: No. 586. SECTION 1. Be it enacted i>y the Senate and House of Represen? tatives of the State of South Carolina, ?ow met and sitting in General Assem? bly, and by the authority of tho same, That whenever at any time any vacancy mail cecur in any County office, by reason of death, resignation, refusal or neglect to qualify of the person elected >r appointed thereto, expiration of the term of office, removal from the County sr from any other cause, the Governor shall appoint some fit and proper per? son to fill the vacancy so caused, and that the person so appointed shall bold bis office in all cases in which the office is elective until the next general elec? tion for members of the General Assem? bly and until his successor should qual ify. It will be seen that at the time of the appointment of our present Sheriff the Grovern or exercised the full extent of his power in granting a commission which would expire in November next. No election for Sheriff can be held at that time, aid consequently a vacancy will igain occur, which must be filled by an ippointment. The additional power Tran ted the Governor by the last Legis ature, viz : the power to appoint until he next election for Sheriff, does not j affect his action at the time the com- j nission was issued, and consequently it j nust expire according to its own terms. | Who will be the next appointee remains j ;o be seen, but it is likely that Mr. j Sanders, being the regular nominee, j prill have the inside track on all others, j It is a fact that while at Saratoga ! [)scar While registered "oscar wilde, j ondoa." Small potatoes, that. 1 C. H. M., the Sumter correspondent of the Augusta Chronicle and Consti? tutionalist, in reporting the Democratic meeting on the 22nd ult. says : "It was in every way a success, and the Democratic cause in Sumter couoty was greatly benefitted by the good advice given to the small handful of disgruntled Democrats and disappointed candidates, who have been talking about a third party. All such talk is stuff ; there are only two parties in this county, in this State, in this country. All Green backers. Independents and Liberals are merely wolves in sheep's clothing. They are not even as re? spectable as the Radicals, because the Republicans pretend to have principles, while the third party candidates pretend to nothing, except that they want office. Riot in Lancaster. Wednesday last was the day appoint? ed for thc political meeting at Lancaster, ! S. C., when Col. E. B. C. Cash, the Independent candidate for Congress, was to deliver an address. The meet? ing had been extensively advertised, and by ten o'clock in the forenoou a great crowd had "gathered in Lancaster. There was a large number of whites, but the bulk of the crowd was composed of negroes. Col. Cash commenced his speech about 12 o'clock, and the negroes became more boisterous as the speaking advanced. Plenty of whiskey was to be had, and by the time Colonel Cash had concluded his speech the blacks had resolved themselves into a drnnkeo mob. At the conclusion of Col. Cash's address the chairman invited a reply by Mr. D. J. Carter, editor of the Lancas? ter Ledger. He accepted, and in the course of his remarks was insolently in? terrupted by several colored men, who denounced him as a liar. Thc remarks were reasserted, when an infurated n?cb of drunken negroes rushed upon the stand, tearin it down and dragging the speaker off, together wiUi Messrs. W. C. Moore, J Quay Dunovant and John Yaughu, the only white Demo? crats that were present. Clinton and several other colored men interfered, and protected the whites, and finally re? scued them, after they bad been beaten with clubs and shot at. Clinton re? ceived a slight pistol wound in the Dose from the mob who fired the only shots. Quiet beiog restored, it was reported that a row was in progress np town, whereupon the crowd repaired thither, under great excitement. The negroes were mounted and reached main street, where an effort was being made to ar? rest Hamp Mabley, who was drunk aod disorderly during the melee. Mr. J. Quay Dunovant had come up aod was ? standing in thc street opposite T wi tty & Conner's store, when the excited negro horsemen rode up, headed by Bill Crockett, pointing ootDunnovant and cursing him as the d-d scoundrel who started the row at the stand. He fired his pistol at him, the ball striking a memorandum book and glancing off without harm. Crockett was immedia? tely shot dead from his saddle and firing began indiscriminately on both sides. Two other negroes, Tom Cuu niogham and Nathan G ure ton, were killed outright and twenty or thirty wounded, at which discomfiture the mob fled precipitately, leaving behind their three dead comrades, two dead mules and two mortally wounded men. We learn that four of the wounded have since died, making seven killed. Or? der beiog restored, Coroner Beldon held an inquest over the bodies, and it was found that they came to their deaths at the bands of parties unknown to the jory. After the negroes left to wu it was reported that they had gathered a crowd of several hundred near town aod were threatening to attack and burn the town that night. The intendant tele? graphed to Chester for assistance and the Sheriff sent over a deputy, but the fifty irmed men who were ready to go dis? persed at the receipt of a telegram stating that the negroes had disbanded without further demonstrations. Buying Seed Cotton. Merchants and others dealing in seed and unpacked cotton, should keep in mind the Act of the last Legislature, which reads as follows : SECTION 1.-Be it enacted by thc Senate and House of Representatives of the State of South Carolina, uow met and sitting in General Assembly and by the authority of the same. That all persons who are'now or may hereafter become engaged in the traffic of seed cotton, or unpacked Hut cotton, be, and they are hereby, required to keep legi? bly written io a book, which shall be opeo to public inspection, the uame and place of residence of the person or persons from whom they purchase, or receive by way of barter, exchange, or traffic of any sort, any seed cotton* or unpacked Hot cotton, with the number of pounds and date of purchase. .SEC 2.-That aDy person who shall fail or refuse to keep the book in the form and manner prescribed in the above section, shall be deemed guilty of amis demeanor, and upon thc conviction thereof shall be fined in a sum not foss than ten dollars, nor more than one hundred dollars or by imprisonment for more than thirty days.' Arrested on Suspicion. A negro named Ben Aiken is held at the Maio Station under the suspicion of having committed an outrage upon Mrs. Castillo in Richland County, on the 21st ultimo. Aiken was arrested in this city about a week after the crime was committed on the charge of being drunk and disorderly. He made so violent a resistance while being convey? ed to the station, that the suspicions of the officers were aroused and while be was serving a sentence of fifteen days io jail, officer Miller had his photo? graph taken. This was sent to Colum? bia and Mrs. Castello identified it as the picture of the mau who had assault? ed her. Upon the receipt of this in? formation a warrant was taken out be? fore Justice Williman and the sheriff of Richland County was telegraphed to come for the prisoner. That officer reached the city last night and leaves with the prisoner for Columbia this morning.-News and Courier. In Aiken Court, Monday, the suit of Lucy liish vs. the Charlotte, Columbia and Augusta Railroad, action for dama? ges, was tried. The plaintiff claimed that she was a passenger ou the road, and that tbetraiu did not stop a suffi? cient time at Graniteville for her to alight, and that when she was leaving the train it started and dragged ber down between the train aud the depot. She laid her damages at $5,000. The defendant claimed that the plain? tiff contributed to her own injury by jumping from the train while it was ia motion. The jury found a verdict for the d?fendants. A Diabolical Murder. Mr. William Screven, who arrived in i this city last night about eight o'clock brought the particulars of the discovery of one of the most cruel and horrible murders that has been recorded in this oounty for years He states that yes? terday shortly after one o'clock while visiting the house ot*Mr. Leatberwood, in Austin Township, an excited crowd of colored women and children made their appearance and gave the informa? tion that the body of a colored woman with that of a four year old infant had been found in some woods. This state? ment was at once investigated, and found to be utterally true. Some chil? dren had gone out to hunt bernes, and coming upon the ghastly spectacle, had rushed back ?nd made 'mown their discovery. The bodies had ovidently been dragged from a neighboring road into the woods about fifty yards, and there were signs of a desperate scuffle in this thoroughfare. A large, stick, which had the appearance of having been freshly cut was lying about five or six feet from the road. The remains of both mother and child bore evidence of a villainous murder, the hands and face of the latter being very bloody. The murdered woman is a mulatto of about 25 years of age, named Lou Griffin, who has, it is stated, been on bad terms with her ?husband for some time. A large crowd of excited people soon gath? ered, and among them was a trial Jus? tice. He expressed the intention of taking steps at once to arrest the hus? band, who had been seen acting in a most suspicious manner. A physician had been sent for preparatory to hold? ing an inquest but had not arrived when Mr. Screven left the scene at about three o'clock. The people were much incen? sed, and threats of lynching were freely made. The scene of the murder is near Dr. Cray ton's place in the vicinity bf Pliny Post Office, about fifteen miles from this city. It is said that Lou Griffin had recently left her husband, and this cir? cumstance strengthens the public feeling against bim. The whole neighborhood was horrified by the tragedy and great indignation was expressed by every one who heard of it. As the hour was late Mr. Screven left the scene before there were any new developments and it being quite dark when he arrived here there was no time to secure additional particulars. Up to mid-night no one had been brought to the jail io this city, and if the supposed perpetrator of this double murder has been captured he has either been confined in some safe place in the neighborhood or roughly handled, as the exasperated crowd of white and colored people who were present were, at last accounts, threatening vengeance upon the man supposed to be tbe cold j blooded murderer. "A jury of inquest composed of six whites and six colored persons, was im pannelled over the bodies to-day by Trial Justice W. T. Long. The bare? foot tracks of the murderer were fol? lowed from the place where the deed was committed to where he stopped and put on his shoes. Suspicion rested upon a middle-aged man named Riley Anderson, who was noticed yesterday Lo have been in a nervous and excited state of mind. He was arrested, and upon comparison and test the tracks were decided to be his Spots of blood were also discovered on Anderson's shirt. His statement, and that of his wife, who is his only witness on that point, conflict as to his whereabouts at the time of the murder. He accounts i for the blood on his shirt by claiming to bave marked some pigs. Sot this is contradicted by other testimony. The rerdict of the inquest is that the de? ceased came to their deaths by strokes )f a club in the hands of Kiley Ander? jon. "The investigation proved that Lou j-riffin and child had left Dr. Creigh :on's place, where they lived in a bouse lome fifty yards from Anderson's, Wed? nesday morning after 8 o'clock. She pas taking a final leave with the in ten- i ion of abiding with her mother, seve -al miles distant Andcrson.it is sta ed, has been criminally intimate with . 1er and had caused the separation of ; lerself and husband. The motive for he murder is a mystery. The negroes )f the vincinity are greatly incensed, , nost of them avowing that Anderson is indoubtedly guilty. Anderson was ?odged in jail here to-night by Sheriff * j il rea th to await his trial for murder. : -Greenville News, Sept. 28th. mum i ? mum - The credit of the United Skates gov- . irnment is said, upon what appears to ' >e very good authority, to be the best >f any government in the world. First Comptroller of the Treasury Lawrence .ecently stated that while British con iols, which are perpetual and pay 3 per sent., are worth only 93 cents oh the ] lollar, our 3 per cent, bonds now being ssued, and which are liable to be called n within a few years, are worth a pre- i niuin of 1 per cent. He expressed the opinion that if these 3 per cents, were certain not to be paid inside of 100 j ?rears, they would sell at a premium of from 5 to 10^ per cent. The reason issigned for the high standing of bonds is ' that the banks, which must have bonds is the basis of their circulation, bold large ! numbers of them, and their require? ments keep up the price. The opinion was ventured by Comptroller Lawrence that if Congress should destroy our national banking system, the 3 per cents, would not be worth more than 90 cents on the dollar.

It is with painful feelings that we have to record the death of WILLIAM CALHOUN RAMSEY, eldest son of Mr. Josheph T. Ram? sey (of this County,) which occurred on last Saturday evening, the 16th inst., at 3.30 o'clock. The deceased was just 20 years old on the 7th instant. His death has been as unexpected as it has been afflicting and sor? rowful, to a large circle of friends and con? nections. To his Parents, on whom this calamity has fallen with redoubled force, a sympathizing community oner that silent condolence which is the best evidence of gen? eral feeling, and a just tribute to the virtues of the deceased. By his parents particularly, this bereavement will be felt most keenly. As a son, Wm. Ramsey was all that paren? tal love could desire or picture. The deceas? ed was a young man of great promise and in bis nntimely death we feel that the County bas lost a good citizen. A FRIEND. WedgeSeld, S. C. Sept. 25tb, 1882. THE MARKETS. SUMTER, S.

Ten Reasons why the "KNOCKABOUT" is the best Suit now in the market for Boys' wear. I. -Because tbe * 'KNOCK A BOUTS" are made from double warp and donble-and-twist, untearable and wear-resistiog fabrics. ! II. -Because the "KNOCKABOUTS" are trimmed in thc most substantial manoer, none. but indestructible materials in thread, linings, buttons, ?c., being need in their manufacture. - .r - . .?<"-: v III. -Because the "KNOCKABOUT" Pants are made with our Patented "Cavalry Kues," ? thereby insuring the greatest durability. IV. -Because the "KNOCKABOUT" fabric being a light color ts not objectionable, ai many ; suppose, for it is in reality a neutral shade which will not soil easily, and will not' " show the dust. - X \ V.--Because the "KNOCKABOUT" as its name implies, is a neat, serviceable outfit, ?ad - is well calculated to stand any amount of rough usage. * - / < V?.-Because the ^KNOCKABOUT" is produced solely to supply a want of an honest. , wearing, substantially made BOY'S SUIT at the low price of $5.00. !.. ? VII.-Because the "KNOCKABOUT" bas proved an inestimable blessing to every Father ?J who has to buy, and every Mother who has to mend, the clothing of the irrepreesibi? boy of the period. VIII-Because of the above given reasons the "KNOCKABOUT" SuiU commend themselves - to tbe taste, judgment and pocket of those to whom the amount of morey expended *J during the year for Boys'Clothing is no inconsiderable item. . . I IX.-Because, since ''nothing succeeds like success," the great success of the "KNOCKA- J BOUT" thus far proves it to be jost the.Suit that was needed for Boys' wear. .
