TUESDAY, OCTOBER 31. J. A. MOOD. M. D., Editor. Tbe Sumter Watchman "was founded in 1850 and tbe True Scuthron In 1866. Tbe Watchman and Southron bo* has tbe combined circulation and iafloence of both of tbe old papers, and Is manifestly the best advertising medium in Sumter. The comet has traversed a distance of 90,000,000 miles in the last four weeks. Mea owning 2:30 horses ought to feel their littleness. A shell which had slept on a Geor gia battlefield for seven teen years awoke i: at the blow of an axe tbe other day, and scattered a negro over aa acre of worn field. A Pittsburg man who killed a $25 dog to recover a $10 bill which he supposed tb? antm?l ate. didn't feel so very bad over it until be found the bill - in bis vest pocket. Theo be went to pieees. . It is a remarkable fact, that since 1865 the private gifts to tbe Virginia University amounts to $440.000 being more than $100.000 in excess of all State appropriations for tbe same time. An elderly man in Boston is so polite and loving that when he is dining with young lady of his heart be puts syrup ob bis bald bead to attract tbe flies and prevent them from annoying her. Dr. Agne w, who attended General, Garfield, charges $300 a day when be 'devotes all bis energies' to a ease. It is to be hoped that the doctor gets his patients well enough to go out and work for the balance of what they owe ; hisi. Well-meaning people who feel inclin ed to interfere in family quarrels ought to take warning from a tragedy in Chicago oo Monday. A man, seeing another abusing bis wife, attempted to act as peacemaker, but the wife slapped bis face and tbe husband cut his throat sad killed htm. Husband* and wives and lawyers are like shears, not cutting themselves, but what comes betwixt them. There is a wealthy brewer in Mon treal who built a ehurch and inscribed oit: "This ehurch was erected by Thomas Mokon, at his sole expense. Hebrews'**." Some of the McGill College wags got a ladder one night and altered tbe inscription so as to make it read. "This church was erected by Thomas Molson, at bis soul's expense Ho brews XX.' ?M Y. Post. The price of stamped envelopes, letter sixe, has been reduced to $1.80 per thousand, with postage added. Return request notices will be printed on the metopes without additional charge when ordered in quantities of '500 or more. Envelopes spoiled by misdi rection can be exchanged for postage stamps of tbe same denomination at the Beerest postoffiee. Here are the figures for 1881: Meth odists in the whole world. 5,069,109; Baptist in the whole world, 2,938.673; Methodists to the United States, 3,775, 753; Baptists in the United States, .5,452, 878. These figures were no doubt drawn from the official reports of Methodists and Baptists. They are takes from the People's Cyclopedia, upon the authority of Dr Daniel Dor chester's "Problem of Religious Pro gross." Old Scratch seems to be coming to ftfce front is Europe. The other day a woman attempted to shoot a King, , sad in France . there is evidently a ) conspiracy to do something desperate. At Lyons, Mentpelter and Lille ex - plosives have been used and threats gainst President Grevy have been made. For some time there has been comparative quiet, and even tbe Nihi lists have oo5 disturbed the Czar with their threatsrand attempts upon his life. But the epidemic of discontent and mur der has broken out afresh, and now we Btj expect disturbances all around. On the night of October 11th Mr NBarBett Sims living in Darling T?s County lost his stable, oats, fodder, 4c. r J>y tbe fire of an incendiary. Fear ing that soother-attempt to burn the bal ance of bis buildings was intended be . took bis gun on Saturday night and placed himself 5n such position as wonld sable him to see and not be seen. He remained on tbe watch, sometimes crawling all around the bam, until be tween 10 and 11 o'clock, when his two grand-sons, George and Samniie, who bad gone to tbe Camp-Meeting, re tu ru ed, walking, accompanied by Mr. Char He Knotts. As they entered the yard, coming from a different direction to thai wbjcb the old gentleman expected he bailed them at the same time cock isg bis gun, and raising it to his face. Hearing the clicking of the gun and supposing that he had been bailed by an incendiary, not knowing that his grand-father was keeping watch, George raised his pistol and fired in tbe direc tion of toe noise. Mr. Sims then fired at what ha>was confident was the incen diary, the whole load of the gun taking effect in the body and limbs of bis grand son, Sammie aged 11 years. The last telegraphic discovery is sending messages without wires. In the beginning two wires were needed ; then one and now none. Next. The Scientific American is responsible for tbe following, we suppose. Mr. W. H. Preece, aa English electrician sent messages from one to two miles with out wires. Tbe American says: 'It is sot imposible that as tbe properties of tbe fac totum of modern civilization become better understood, wires will be largely dispensed with?in the open country and for transmarine connec tion/ Tbe experiments were made from Southampton to Isle of Wight. The Scientific American says: 'Large metal plates were immersed in tbe sea at opposite ends of the Solent, namely: at Portsmouth and Hyde, six miles apart, sod at Horst Castle and Sconce Point, one mile apart. Tbe Ports mouth and Hurst Castle were connect ed by a wire passing through South ampton and tbe Ryde and Sconee Point Slates by a wire through Newport, 'he circuit completed itself through the sea.' Mr. Farish Formen, an intelligent young Georgian, who abandoned poli tics is order to engage in agricultural pursuits a few years ago, gives some j facts gathered from experience, which are worthy of consideration. Mr. Fur- j mas shows that five years ago be took ?5 acres of thin "scrub" land, produ cing less than one bale of cotton to eight acres, sad this land be has brought to produce a bale and a half to the acre. It is better that he has done this with home manure, costing less than $4 a thousand pouods, and that yields every year double the cotton the manure costs, and in the fifth year $3,600 surplus cot ton on $942 worth of manure. That he started with less than $2 worth of manure to the acre, and achieved his highest result with $14 to the acre puts bis system within the reach of the poor est farmer. He did all this with two mules, and he estimates his land to be worth now $100 per acre, while five years ago it would not have brought $5 per acre. Intensive farming, as Mr. Furman has put it into simple practice, means rich acres, broad meadows, herds and flocks, happy country homes and prosperous farmers. THE FAIR! The Annual Fair of the Sumter Park and Agricultural Association, which was held last week, did not fill the a expectations of its friends, oor meet with the success which pre vious indications had seemed to war rant. Many explanations have been offered as regards the cause of its fail ure ; the most common of which attri butes it to a want of interest on the part of the people of - the County?a proposition which is evidently true. While there may be other causes which induce this 'want of interest,' we are fully satisfied that the present management cannot escape responsibili ty for a portion. We were unable to be present, except on Tuesday; but on ' that occasion we .noted decidedly objec I tionable features. In front of the I Grand Stand and within plainly audi ble distance, pool-selling was going on, while the coarse jests and profanity which usually attend the gambling cn such occasions, were not absent. Beneath the Stand, and plainly visible through open doors from the only means of entrance, were on one side a bar, and the other a fortune wheel. Such an arrangement will scarcely awaken an interest on the part of ladies or gentleman of moral ideas, but will effectually prevent the attendance of many whose presence and patronage are very desira ble. However the efforts of the officers of the Association may be directed to ward the promotion of the agricultural interests of the County, their results will be questioned so long as ladies are unable to attend, without being disgus ted by sights and sounds of an immor al character. Dr. H. D. Green. The card of Or. H. D. Green, which ap pears in another column, wilMfoobtless make j1 plain to the most obtuse, the position which j he occupies?that of a unwavering Demo- : erat. Ee was one of the number who sup- j' ported the party in its less prosperous days, j and since that time has given the public oo reason to suspect a departure. Only those who do not know him, could truthfully ques tion his principles, and in this county that number is few. The Georgetown Railroad to be Built. A special dispatch to the Newt and Couritr, dated Georgetown, Oct. 28th, says: The president and directors of the George- |! town and Laues Railroad Company have in the last twenty-four hours contracted with j j Major A. J. Twiggs, of Augusta, Ga., for the building and equipage of the thirty-eight miles j of railway, to connect Georgetown with the j Central Railway and Northeastern Railway at j Lanes, S. C. As far es we can understand, j the terms of the contract are as followg: J Major Twiggs takes the private cash subscrip tion list of about $25,000 the Georgetown j Town subscription of $30,000 and the first . mortgage bonds of the railway company for the remainder of the cost. The work is to be ! commenced in ten or fiffteen days with two . hundred hands, and the road is to be finished by the 1st of November next. At last it seems that our community will be connected with the great Railway system o f North America. The toil of many years, of hope deferred now seems to be compensated by success. How our Office Was Swamped, i A day or two ago we received a neat little package by mail, and on opening, found it to be a game. Yes, you can bet it was a game. It was a game called the Sectional Checker Board. If you were to take a checker board and cut it up into sections of various sizes and shapes, you'd have our game?the same one we've got in our office. ...The game consists in putting these sections back into place so as to form a checker board. It's the gam est game on record. The Fifteen Puzzle is nowhere alongside of our game that we got by mail. Oo Monday morning, two ladies came into the office, and got to working up the checker Board Puzzle. As ye editor passed, it looked pretty to see the red and black spots lying about, and he got down on bis haunches to help straighten up the Checker Board. In the meantime another qnill driver joined the crowd. Then up came -the business mana ger. Every suggestion was very able, and we scuffled over that Checker Board Game, thinking it would soon come together. ? Then the "devil" joined in, and business was sus pended. Each new-comer seized a piece of the Checker Board Game, and stood aghast, hunting for a place to put it in. Meanwhile the office was going to ruin. The few remain ing workmen were calling for copy, subscri bers were clamoring to pay their bills, and i there wasn't a man in our office that couid get away from the Checker Board Game. Things went oo so for some time, and it seem ed as if the Watchman and Southron was bound to go down over the checker Board Game ! that a fellow io New York sett us. Relief, however, came at la9t. Some one j called for a pair of scissors, and the verdict of j the office was that the New York man had lied, j and the thing can't be worked. If our paper j is a little late io getting out this week, our I readers will know the reason. The impudent notice pasted on the back of the box, says the thing Was made by Selchow and Rigbter, N. Y., and sells for 25cts. A Strange Murder and Suicide. Chattanooga, Oct. 27.?Last night a man from Cincinnati, giving bis name as Womble, accompanied by a wonfan be said was his wife, stopped at Spring City, Tenn., a station on the Cincinnati Southern R. R. 50 miles ; from here. They took supper and during the meal it teems that the woman put arsenic in the food of her companion and herself. They both died in an hour afterwards. Nothing is known of them or cause of the act. The woman gloated over her deed when she learned that they were both beyond medical aid. Deaths. Mr. H. H. Corbett, of the Carter's Crossing section, 'died on Thursday last, aged 72 years. Mr. Corbett, bad been suffering from a carbuncle for some time and his death was brought on from-this cause. In the same section, on Friday Theodore W. McCutcben died froi tion of the bowels and lungs. He ty years old and was sick onlj week. Miss Alice DuBose, daughter Harvey DuBose, died of consumf Mt. Clio neighborhood on Thursday last. Mr. W. Jackson Newman died en Sunday evening the 29th, at bis home. near Lewis Qbapel, in Concord Township. Mr. Newman was abont 68 years old, aod has been long afflicted with a caocer, which finally caused bis death. The mother of Matt. Brooks, the well known colored caterer, died on Saturday in the vicinity of Providence, at the advanced age of 99. A CARD. "None are so blind as those who do not wish to see." Notwithstanding the absurdity of the no tion that I could be induced under any cir cumstance to be placed on a Domination by a Greenback Labor Party or any other in opposition toi)emocracy, and ootwitbstand I had on every occasion so expressed myself, still, to protect myself from injustice on the part of those who might not be well acquaint ed with me, as soon as practicable after I un derstood that it was in contemplation to make such use of my name, I published a card in the "Advance" objecting in the strongest language I was master of to any such use of my name. Now, any mau who has not the intelligence and honesty to see and admit that such card was a complete and emphatic refusal to be so used br outside parties, his opinion is alto gether uuworthy of my respect and he is at liberty to think just what he pleases. HENRY D. GREEN. Mr. Editor: The Legislature at its last session, changed the law in reference to the school month, making it twenty days, instead of the entire number of school days in a cal endar month. Through inadvertence the Board of Examiners, in the notice published in your last issue, instructed the Trustees to require teachers to include an entire calendar month in their monthly reports, which is contrary to law. Please publish this to set matters right and oblige, Yours truly, W. F. RHAME. SHILOH INTEBESTS. [From Our Correspondent.] SHILOH, S. Cm Oct. 31, 1882. Mr. Eli Welch, one of onr citizens, a young man of some promise, while under the in fluence of intoxicating liquors?a habit once adtcted to, but for late months laid aside? while walking with a friend on Saturday evening, drew his pistol and directing it to ward his throat snapped it, striking a false cartridge, and before bis friend could seize his weapou the unfortunate man bad pierced bis throat with a 38 calibre ball. From last ac counts the fellow was lying unconscious and suffering occasional and violent convulsions. The physicians pronounce the wound mortal. "Who hatb sorrow, who hath woe, who bath wounds without cause?" The abundant harvests give new life to our hard-working yeomanry. Politics find free *nd full discussion among all classes. The health of our community is decidedly im proved. X. Y. Z. Found at Last. An agreeable d/essing for the bair that will stop its falling, has been long sought for.

There is more strength-restoring power in a bottle of Parker's Ginger Tonic than in a bushel of mal tor a gallon of milk. As an appetizer, blood purifier and kidney corrector, there is nothing like it, and invalids conse quently find it a wonderful iovigorant for mind and body.? Commercial. "Jump up, Johnny; the school-bouse is on fire," said ao Austin mother to her sleeping son. "Is the school teacher burned up?" "I guess not." "Oh, pshaw 1" It has been clearly established that Catarrh is a blood poison : therefore, any remedy that is a perfect blood purifier will cure this dis ease. S. S.

KNOCKABOUT SUITS. (PATENTED.) Ten Reasons why the "KiVOCKABOUT" is the best Suit now in the market for Boys' wear. I. ?Because tbe "KNOCKABOUTS" are made from double warp and double-and-twist, uotearable and wear-resisting fabrics. II. ?Because tbe "KNOCKABOUTS" are trimmed in the most substantial manner,, none but indestructible materials in thread, linings, buttons, Ac, being used in their manufacture. III. ?Because tbe "KNOCKABOUT" Pants are made with our Patented "Cavalry Knee," thereby insuring the greatest durability. IV. ?Because the "KNOCKABOUT" fabric being a light color is not objectionable, as many suppose, for it is in reality a neutral shade which will not soil easily, and will not show the dust. V. ?because the "KNOCKABOUT" as its name implies, is a neat, serviceable outfit, and is well calculated to stand any amount of rough usage. VI.?Because tbe "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.?3ecause the "KNOCKABOUT" has proved an inestimable blessing to every Father who has to buy, and every Mother who has to mend, the clothing of the irrepressible boy of tbe period. VIII?Because of the above given reasons the "KNOCKABOUT" Suits commend themselves to the taste, judgment and pocket of those to whom the amount of money expended during the year for Boys' Clothiog is no inconsiderable item. IX.?Because, since nothing succeeds like success," the great success of the "KNOCKA BOUT" thus far proves it to be just tbe.Suit that was needed for Boys' wear. X.?Because knock-about as much as you wili, nothing will be found to knock the "KNOCKABOUT" Suit that is manufactured for I $0.00.
