Hurst on last Satordoy at Moses' Mill, by which he will pcohaMy, J? laid ap for several weeks. He was standing near the log-carriage track, and as the carriage ran back bis foot was caught tinder it and he w:is thrown down, the car? riage passiog over his foot and ankle, and nearly ;ia the knee. There are no bones broken,-hut the ankle is *ery badly bruised. Fortunately tbe carriage had only a short spacey togo, or bis injuries might have been saoreierjQGs. ^ || Crops. * There were good raina last week in several parts of tho County ; but not enough To sup sly the needs of such crops as still want rain. The cotton is now opening very fast, but H alight and the bolls small. In a good the plants are badly affected omitted last week to acknowledge a .ampie of the new cotton handed us by Mr. P.A. Sanders, from Rafton Creek, to which he called our nilen lion on account of its light weight. The seed cotton from eight bolls '.as, - ,*k weighed ?. fraction less than an ounce, at which rate it Would take ab ut 130 bolls to weigh ooepound. Ordinarily 100 bolls, it is said will weigh a pound. Attention ! Hoad Supervisors !

We tender our sympathy to the, af? flicted parents in their sad bereavement. Arson. A preliminary examination was made by Justice Sanders last week in the case of Rich? ard Elierby arrested for setting fire to the house of Calhoun Dargan at Providence. The evidence was considered sufficient to commit the prisoner to jail for trial at the Fall Term. The Providence Meeting. The religions meeting at Providence was continued through last wgek until Saturday, on which day it closed, and resulted in a number of accessions to the church. We notice from the card of Rev. J. C. Chandler, in this issue that it was not a Camp-Meeting, as heretofore stated. It is to be regreted that there were persons who went to the meeting and behaved in such a manner that Mr. Chandler should feel mortified by the fact that the most of them were from this town. AH good citizens will discountenance such conduct. Culpepper'S Battery. A good many reunions have been held, but we have never beard of the survivors of GUI pepper's Battery (Co. C., Palmetto Battalion, Col. E. B; White,) having had one. There are a good many survivors of that company in this vicinity, and one of them called our atten tien to the matter ?: few days ago, and requested ns to invite an expression of opinion on the subject. If there are others who would like to meet their old comrades ina social way let them speak out. We tender them the use of our columns to make a call for a meet? ing, or for an exchange of views. A CATfrf). Jr>. Editor: Yous&tedfitt your issue of two weeks ago that the ?unvai 'P?mp-meeting would be held at Providence ?he following week. It was a mistake, which indirectly has caused much trouble : as the sequel will show. Camp-meetings were discontinued there about six years ago. Quite a promis? cuous crowd was attracted thereon Sunday, and some of the parties acted in such a man? ner as to greatly disturb the congregation. Such conduct cannot pass without redress. The civilization of the present day is too far advanced for people to mistake a religious meeting for a picnic Whiskey and its dis? graceful concomitants cannot be tolerated j aLoot a church. The names of those young j men who acted in the manner described are j known, and the evidence against them is ; being collected. The following commit te bas j been appointed to look af er these cases:' Messrs. J. S. Folk, W. W. Boykio, R. L. j Jones, J. R. Philips and F. H. McEeachern. JOHN C CHANDLER. ?"For the Watchman and Southron.J TheEarle(y) Train. Mr. Editor: Having been a delegate to the Sunday School Convention at Lynchburg on the 9th, I repaired to the Sumter Depot to take the 6 A. M. train, which would bave put me at my destination in due lime. The train was moving back and forth, shifting cars, and fearing I might get left, I approached what I thought to be the conductor, with an inquiry about getting on the train He re- j plied in a courteous manner, and directed me to ; go to the platform and wait there, as the train would back up before leaving. I did as di? rected. Finally the shifting of cars seemed to be finished, the conductor got aboard, and the train backed dowo past us tJ the water tank. A goodly number of passengers, ladies among them, were also in waiting; bot to our surprise when the bell rang the train ran past ns without stopping, and left us still waiting. The name of the conductor, I was told,-is Earle; but it was a tate name for me, to wait until next day. The next g I tried again, and succeeded In get? ting off. We bad a Lane for conductor, and j hefnrnisbed the proper way of getting along, ana put me safely through my journey. I ? recommended my friends to take the Lane j train and not the ?arlc{y) train, it they ] don't want to be left. I would think that the Superintendent of j the road would be more particularabont who j he has to run the trains, if hs desires to ac- ' comtnodaU the traveling public. It is bad on j passengers to. be left behind, and if a con-j ductor is so absent-minded he ought to have J some more help. Being a day behind in getting to the Con? vention, I attended lo my business in only a half-satisfactory manner ; but I ara pleased j to report that the convention was quite a sue- I cess. The delegates were all much impressed j with the kind and generous hespitali j of the j Lynchburg people, and the writer feels un-; der special obligations to his host, Mr. I>. F. i McLeod The Florida flowers aud Magnolia i roses were quite a treat. '.For anything in the abore that may be! Construed as an undue reflection upou any j one, I beg pardon, except of our too previous i conductor. COUNTRYMAN. [For the Watchman and Southron.J Something to Think About. It may be true that millions of revenue \ racy be raised from the liquor traffic, bnl what good does it accomplish? Every cent j of it goes for whiskey. If the tax were j doubled or trebled, it would i n neither case pay i the drink bill. The expense, the disorder, I the trouble, the want, the misery, the pau- j perism, the crime caused by the liquor traffic j is simply aud appallingly immense, and sinks into nothingness the revenue-the blood money received. The liquor traffic is a standing offence to decency, to morality, to prosperity and hap? piness. It is a poor plan to give our beys-our sons and bi others-tothedevii for the sake of revenue. How can any man-parent, brother or friend-vote for license and the rum-shop ? Financially considered, revenue frota licens? ing such a social curse as the bar-room, is a delusion and a stupendous fraud. It costs more trying to repair the damages done by ! intoxicating drinks, tbau would educate our children and assure their prosperity. It is saving ki the spiggot and wasting at the bung. We must make the traffic so disreputable in the eyes of decency and Christianity that no man of honor, no temperance man, no moral man, no Christian man will stand before the world as its defender. Mao's liberty ends, and it ought to end, when that liberty becomes the curse of bis neighbors. I claim as a citizen a right to legislation to remedy an evil when my social rights are invaded by the social act of another. The liquor traffic invades my social rights by destroying^y primary rights of security, by constantly creating and stimula? ting social disorder. Prohibition does not prohibit-because men sell liquor and get drunk where prohibi? tion exists, say the friends of license. Sup? pose we use the same argument in other mat? ters, for instance : Christianity does not Christianize-because there are sinners in the world. Wisdom does not make one wise-because fools are still to be found. Cultivation does not cultivate because weeds and briars still come up in the fields. Education does not educate-because it does not educate the ignorance that prompts such silly arguments. STRAY WORDS. i)io Lewis. Dr. Dio Lewis was born at Auburn, N. Y. in 1823, studied medicine wither. Driggs of that city, took his medical course in the Har? vard Medical School, Boston, began the practice of his profession in bis native place in 1845, and two years later removed to Buffalo, where he practiced from 1847 to 1852. During his residence in Buffalo, he wrote a nomber of-paners on the causes and treatment of Cholera, which ravagad that city during 1849 and 1851. These papers at? tracted much attention, and were afterwards published in book form. In the Autumn of 1852, Dr. Lewis took his young wife then seriously threatened with consumption, to the South. The visits to the Southern States was repeated during the two following winters. During these three winters of leisure, Dr. Lewis seriously reconsidered his life-work, and after consultation with family and other trusted friends, resolved to 'fshift the switch." Since 1855 he bas been engaged in lecturing and writing on the subject of public and personal hygiene. With the exception of two visits to Eurone and three summers of saddle life in the mountains of California, he has been unceasingly occupied with the "ounce of prevention." His labors have been varied, interesting, j and most effective. During four years he i lectured almost every night, giving his days j to the invention of his new system of gyranas- j tics. In 1860, having completed this system, he abandoned the platform and settled in Boston, Mass., to establish his Normal School for Physical Training. Obtaining an Act of incorporation from the Massacbussets Legisla? ture, he placed his scheme before the cele? brated Dr. Walter Channing, Dr. Thoraas | Hoskius and other well-known medical men. j The two gentlemen named, and others, en- j tered heartily iuto the work. Dr. Channing, j aud Dr. Hoskins both became active teachers or professors in Dr. Lewis's school. Within j seven years, more tbau four hundred persons j were graduated from the Boston Normal ; School, and, bearing its diploma, with the \ name of Dio Lewis as its Presidsttt. went out j into all the land, teaching the new scnool of ? physical training. Among these graduates j was that admirable gentleman and scholar, Moses Coil Tyler, now professor in Cornell I University. He went abroad, remaining several years in London introducing the Dio Lewis Gymnastics." Prof. Tyler's lectures and his contributions to the English magazines on the new school of body culture, constitute the finest portion of the literature of the new movement. Ino eof Prof. Tyler's i papers, in a leading English magazine, occurs this paragraph, "The movement of thought itt America to? ward physical culture is thu3 organized upon a profound and abiding basis An impulse has been given which vibrates through ii population of twenty millions ; rbis impulse cannot die. . . . And of this vast and beneficial movement, Dio Lewis stands clearly at the head. To him the poopie are looking as to an apostle and guide. He bas inaugu? rated in America a great Natioua? reform, as distinct, as influential, as glorious, as that which was wrought in Germany by Salzman and Jahn, or in Sweden by the poet and gym nasiarch Ling." Another interesting phase of Dr. Lewis's work is found in the great seminary which he established at Lexington, Mass. His object was to illustrate the possibilities in the physical development of girls during j their school life. His buildings accommo- j dating 200 persons, were placed upon the first j battle field of the Revolutionary war. A ? large corps of the best teachers in mathe- j matics, sciences, languages, belle lettres, and j music to be found in the country, were en? gaged, and the opening announced. The school soon grew to one hundred and fifty young women, gathered from all parts of the country, including the Pacific Coast, Central America, and the West Indies. They came to see what could be done by the new methods for their nervous etifeebled bodies. The marvellous triumphs of this institution during the years which Dr. Lewis devoted to its management, he gives in the "North American Review for Dec. 1882. As he says in that paper, hundreds of grateful parents are familiar with the facts. G irls who came unable to ascend a single flight of stairs with- j out suffering, in a few months were able to walk five or ten miles without inconvenience. In the course of his twenty-two years resi? dence in Boston, Dr. Lewis published nine volumes! on the various aspects of tho health of the human body, some of which, like "Our Girls," "Our Digestion," and "Weak ? Lungs," have had enormous sales. Dr. Lewis has now removed to the city of ' New York, lo establish a large monthly mag? azine, to be called "Dio Lewis's Monthly," and to be devoted to Sanitary and Social j Science. This will be the crowning work of j his long life of labor in the interest of better bodies for American men and women. --o-*????- gi Mr. R. P.

New York Herald : 'Our advice to to the 'outside public' and to 'investors' is to keep out of Wall street. If they have money which needs to be laid cut, let them put it into real estate. That remains the best security/ and for some time has been almost the only trustworthy one. Mining has caused loss to ninety-nine out of every hun? dred who have put their money into mines ; petroleum has become mere gambling ; 'hog products' and grain have burned holes in the pockets of al? most all who have touched them. And in the stock market, for now a long time, the big fish have gobbled the lit? tle fish, and of late have begun to feed on each other. They are very hun? gry, these big fish.

"Haven't I earned them already, then?" queried the fair object of his affec? tions. Dr. J. P.

J Kendall & Co., Gents : Having used a ?rood deal ot' your Kendall's Spavin Cure with great success, I thought I would let you know what it has done for nie. Two years ago I had as speedy a colt as was ever raised in Jefferson County. When I wag breaking h'm, he kicked over 1he cross bar and got t'as; and torc one of his hind legs all to pieces. I employed the best farriers, but they all said he was spoiled. He had a very large thorough-pin, and I used two boitles of your Kendall's Spavin Cure, and it took tho bunch entirely oft', and he sold afterwards for Si,SOO (dollars.) I have used it for bone spavins and wind galls, and it has always cu red-completely and left the leg smooth. It is a splendid medicine for rheumatism. I have recommended it to a good many, and they all say it does the work. I was ia Witherington ?fe Koeelaod's drug store, ia Adams, the other day and saw a very fine picture you sent them I trh-d to buy it, but could not; they said if I would write to you that you would send rae one- I wish you would, and I will do you all the good I can. Very rcspectfullv, E. S. LYMAN. SPITBALL'S S7AYX2T CTOS. Cincinnati, Ohio, June 3, 1882. IL J. Kendall k Co., Gents : Beings suf? ferer from the rheumatism, I have tried a irreal many remedies tor that -complaint, using everything that I beard of or my friends knew of, and being treated by the l>est physicians in this city without effect. I had become discouraged and had concluded there was no help for this disease, when I fortunately met your agent, .Mr. John Fish, who told me it was unnecessary to suffer any more, as KenkalPs Spavin Onie would do the business, and as I was of the same profession lie presented me with a bottle, which I used, and I must say without any faith, in one week 1 am able to walk without a cane or any other artificial help. 1 don't know tba* the Spavin Cure did it but this I do know I will never be without Kendall's Spavin Care? iigain, as 1 thoroughly believe ir reserves ita popoulartty, and has unqualified merit. I write this en tirol v unsolicited. Yours truly, li. ?. SNOW, C. T. Price Si per bottle or 0 bottles tor $o.
