Heat Work. \ One of the W. and S. crowd bad occasion to have his pants pafched a few days ago, and Mr. Pbysioc did the work. We never saw a neater job, no sign of it being visible except on close inspection. We can recol? our tailor for nice work. . The Hew Master.

Winn's new advertisement will attract attention. He bas been so long in the business, that his opinion on clothing matters is almost infallible, and with Mr. J. H. Chan? dler to help do the honors, the Sumter Cloth? ing Store is a nice place to trade. Mr. W. E. Branson is c-ranging for thresh? ing and deaning small grain.

Davis, an old resident of this town, died on the night of the 16th. from Pneumonia, and was bnried at the Cemetery on Thursday. Mrs. Rebecca C. Moise, mother of Mr. Howard C. Moise, and of Mrs. S. A. Dinkins, died at the borne of the latter, in Charleston, last week. Mr. John M. Tomlinson, of Shiloh, on the 26th March, 1884, ia the 22d year of his age. He wat a consistent member of the Methodist Church, a true friend, an obedient, affection? ate son, and a sincere Christian. He leaves a heart-broken, widowed mother to mourn his loss. . Beligious. The 2nd Quarterly meeting for the Sumter Station, M. E. C. Sooth will beheld next Sab? bath, 27th ?nat. Rev. A. J. Stokes, the Pre? siding Elder of this District will preach on Sunday 1 I.A. M. and 8J P. M. The Official Conference will convene at the Cbnrch on Monday 28th inst, at 8? o'clock. Pime Beading. The Dime Beading has become one of the standard social enjoyments of the town. The one last Friday night at Col. J. D. Graham's was np to the mark made by its predecessors. The music was fine-much better than is j frequently heard at an opera-and a good j financial return warmed the heart of the Treasurer. - - ^^??. Bill Aro. We have the pleasure of announcing that Chas. H. Smith, Esq., (Bill Arp) will lecture j in the Music Hall on Thursday evening, May j 1st., for the benefit of the New Methodist Church. We hope that the citizens of Sum? ter will greet the celebrated Georgian with a crowded house. Ice Cream Entertainment, The young ladies' sewing: society, of the Baptist Church, will give an ice cream enter? tainment in Mason's Hall (over C. T. Mason's new brick store), on Tuesday evening, the 29th, from 7 to 10 P. M. Those who wish to enjoy a pleasant evening and also help the young ladies are respectfully invited to attend, as well as everybody else. Go to D. J. Auld's for the best Soda j Water. He has a new fangled ice shaver and will fill your glass with ice like snow-if you like it that way. Dr. Auld makes all the flavoring extracts used at his soda fountain, j and warrants them pure and of the best qual? ity _^_ Kolb's Watermelon Seed. A small supply of Rattlesnake and Scaly Bark Watermelon seed, from Capt. R. F. Kolb, of Eofaula, Ala., the great melon grow? er of the South, now on hand at the Watch' man and Soutltron office. A Great Kindness won ld be done to the clerks if the merchants ! would consent to close the stores at six, or j even half past six. As we mentioned two j weeks ago, Camden has adopted that plan, and since there would be nothing lost to the merchants, we cannot, see why they should not do the same here. What do you say, friends? _ _ " A Big Store. An entire column in the Western Sentinel published' at Winston, X. C., is taken up with the description of the Spring Opening of Ry t tenberg Bros., in that town. The Dress Goods Department, the House Furnishing, Gents' Furnishing, the Har, the Shoe, the Millinery, and goodness knows how many more departments are all spoken of most highly. Ryttenberg Bros. are evidently doing a big business in Winston. Maimed Soldiers. The Legislature, in an Act passed in De? cember 1882, and amended last Winter made some small provision for soldiers who had lost a limb, or that had been made useless from wounds received during the war. We know of cases in Sumter in which applica? tions, duly approved, have been forwarded to the Comptroller General and have received no satisfactory response. If there is no money for the purpose it seems that axertifi cate should be given, so that the money could be collected as soon as it is on hand. S. Ir. I. Basket Picnic. The committee of arrangements have changed the day for the above picnic from Thursday, May 1st, to Friday, May 2d, to suit the young ladies and gentlemen of the Manning Academy, at the request of the principal, Mr. S. A. Nettles, who promises a big turn-out from Manuing on that day, and as half of Sumter will be lhere, the S. L. I. Basket Picnic of 1884 will be the biggest thing of the kind that ever was known in these parts. Simon's string band is already engaged \ and everybody knows what that means. An? drews, with his ice cream, will be on hand, and iced lemonade by the tub full will be free to all. The boys are already practicing with j their rifles; and the girls are rapidly making up their minds as to what they will wearj in < order to look their sweetest that day. The beads of families who take pleasure in more substantial things are preparing to j crowd their largest baskets with those good things which satisfy the inner man, and fill j that aching void which dancing, ice cream' and lemonade can ne?er reach. No formal invitations will be sent out, as j it will be impossible. But Capt. Auld re- ' quests us to extend a cordial invition to the j whole community to join the S. L. I., and ! brina along their baskets. Ample Railroad ac- i coramodatioDS will be provided at a very j low rate, and efforts are being made to get a j special train to leave Sumter at 8 or 9 a. m. returning about 6 or 7 p. m. The picnic j grounds will be at the same place as last yea?, , (Vernon, on the Central R. R., 9 miles from j Sumter,) and the big-hearted Arthur Harvin j will prroue thea. Quantum su?c?. Kingstree-Salem. Rev. H. F. Chreitzberg left Sumter on a temperance missionary tour last Thursday. Kingstree was his first objective point, and he delivered a temperance address there on Thursday night. The next day he drove out to Salem Lodge, I 0. G. T., thirteen miles Northeast of Kingstree, and installed their officers and strengthened the brethren in the fait?fte an earnest temperance talk. Return ing yffilingstree that night, he organized a Loo%e^ of Good Templars, with 28 charter members. John A. Kelly, Esq., a prominent lawler, is W. C. T., Harry Haynsworth is P. W. C T., and our old friend, Joel E. Brun sonj^Lodge Deputy. The lodge commences its"%-Wo^k with bright prospects, and as it is comjposed of some of the best citizens of King streei'Swe look for a good record of its futujpwork. We.-are glad to see Harry Haynsworth's name among the officers, not because he will ever need the restraining power of the pledge, but for the sake of bis influence for good upon others. We are glad to know of his growing prosperity, and that he is becoming one of the prominent fixtures of Kingstree. DEATH OP A GOOD MAN. Mr. Alexander Spront, an old and highly respected resident of Wilmington, N. C., and Tor many years British Vice-Consul, died at that place-on the 12th instant. He was well known to some of our citizens, and we can personally testify to the kindness of his great and noble heart. We copy the following ex? tracts from a brief notice of his life published in the North Carolina Presbyterian. Mr. Alexander Sprunt was born at View field, near Perth, Scotland, Sept., 28tb, 1815, and was educated in Edinburgh. He spent several years of his life in the West Indies, but had been for ibirtv-two years a resident of this city. .* ********* The striking characteristic of Mr. Sprunt was solidity-of knowledge, of judgment, of character, even of manners and disposition. His knowledge of men and things, gathered from books and travels, was varied and ex? tensive, and be seemed to be blessed with the talent, the genius rather, which taught bim what to keep and what to cast away. Having said this, it needs not to say, that his judg? ment was excellent; yet the perfection of. that judgment was due to the acquaintance with the Word of God, and readiness in its application to the events of lite, for which he was remarkable. Life . was, to Mr. Sprunt, a time for the service of God and his fellowmen, and this j world the field for the exercise. He was in- ? tensely real and practical, though neither j gloomy nor austere. For the vain and flip- i pant he bad little use ; sham and pretense he could not abide. Himself pure gold, all tinsel he despised. And now we have reachad a phase of his character that especially claims our pen. j While all that was vicious and impure he j most rigidly loathed and detested, to the j suffering and the unhappy his heart went out I in tenderest sympathy. Like the Master he j literally went about doing good. He did j not wait to hear the harrowing cry of dis- j tress; the needy was sought out that he j might be helped. We write knowingly, feel- j ingly, from a heart that is full. And so j haring been faithful in all the relations of j life he has fallen on sleep, leaving to ns the richest of heritages ra principles of conduct to ! be kept and treasured, and a noble Christian ! example to be faithfully followed. THE1PTJBLIC"S?H??LS. 3fr. Editor: I am glad to see a discussion ! in your columns on public school matters. Nothing can interest a man more successfully j on any question than to get him to talk about ! it, or pay money for it. So I take it, that I this important question is becoming of some moment to the people. The trouble at present seems to be the vex- | ?tions credit svstem which, like the old? man ! ? of the sea, is crushing ont so much of theener- i gy and vim of our commercial life, and fas- ! tens upon every enterprise carried on in our j midst. The credit system in our schools is a great | drawback, and steps should be taken to i change it. I, being a layman, feel some hes- ! itation in suggesting a plan to school officials, j but a brief study of the school law convinces ? me that there is no difficulty in the way. In ! your paper of the 15th, the writer from Dis- i trict No. 11, says his District pays cash to all its employees. Why could not this be done j by all or any of the Districts? The trustees j are supreme in their jurisdiction in all nega- j tive matters. They have the power of sto^ j ping the schools, and why not do it, as soon j as the monev in the hands of the Treasurer, j to the credit of their District, is exhausted : j If there is none on band, do not open them : at all, but let them remain closed for one ? year. I think though that it would be better, ! if this closing np business should be done b.C the Board of Examiners, for then the entire County would be under the cash regime. I would be glad for Sumter County to be the first to voluntarily assume its proper place, as a cash paying County, and the sacrifice would not be very great, for almost every District has tome money, and a few are already on a cash basis. The fact is, the people have become so accustomed to credit, that to many, the talk about paying cash has an unreal, utopian sound. The County goes on credit; the schools, ditto; farmers the same-it is credit, credit, credit, on aft sides and in every business, and it seems to be our normal condition to be in debt. Now let the schools of Sumter set the example to every other business. Put every District square with the world and let it remain so. That is the sentiment of a voter in DISTRICT NO. 1. Vineyard Skating Rink open at Masic Hall every Monday and Thursday nights at 8 o'clock. _ Corn and Cotton Seed. Those who called for the Richardson seed, before it was received, can now have their orders filled. The corn makes an unusually large yield of forage, which is an advantage worth consideration in these days of Northern hay, and while the grains and ears are small, the large number produced by one hill makes the aggregate greater than that which is grown from ordin?r}" corn. The Cotton Seed also have a fine record. Emory's Little Cathartic Pills, are suffi? ciently powerful for the most robust, yet the safest for children and weak constitutions 15 Cents. _ ARBKVILLK, CO., S. C., April 2, 1870.

D. j Assist the child in time. Do not wait until an army of worms have been recruited and the health bf the child destroyed.

OFFICE OF EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE, SUMTER COUNTY, SUMTER, S. C., April 19, 1884. A Convention of the Democratic Party of Sumter Couuty will be held at Sumter, on Monday, June the 2nd, 1884, in Music Hall, to elect ten delegates and alternates to repre? sent this County in the State Convention, which meets in the City of Columbia, on June the 26th, and to transact such other business as the Convention may deem proper. Each Club w ill meet and elect, under its own rules, one delegate at large, and one del? egate for every twenty-five of its membership. By order of the Committee, W. R. DELGAR, Chairman. W. D. BLASDJSG, Secretary. Smithville Items. Mr. Thos. W. Hawkins lias some fine vol unteer oats. If our farmers could plow up their oat lands as soon as the crop was cut off, graze off in the Fall, top dress in the Spring with guano, and harrow ihem over, they would make fine, early crops, with no danger of (retting them killed ; they would have time to do so by planting less and ma? nuring higher. Some people finished planting cotton in March ; oDe man planted all his corn in Feb I mary and got mad because it did not come j up. The corn showed more sense than the man did. After two weeks fine Spriug weather, Win? ter returned on the 9lh inst, with heavy frost which did damage. The eclipse on the 10th, was imperfectly seen, owing to a smoky atmosphere. A great many people sick from a species of colds that are nearly as bad as pneumonia. The most terrible wind storm ever knowo in this section, raged all day and night on the 2d inst. Work had to be suspended, fencing and trees went down before it, tender vegetation parched like frost, dust rose in great clouds, which added lo the smoke of a large fire, at times partially obscured the sun and made the sight truly appalling. D. - - i i - - Letter from Charlotte. CHARLOTTE, N. C., APLIL 18, 1884. Dear Watchman and Southron : As I bave not been in the habit of consuming much of your space perhaps a few scattering lines from an old friend will be pardonable. Your weekly visits are always anxiously looked for, and bring, as it were, old scenes and friends face to face. Four years' absence has not lessened my interest in and love for dear old Sumter. Fond memories crowd my mind and awaken tender emotions at the mention of her name. The first impulse is to read the local news. My heart is often saddened at the an? nouncement of the death of old friends, and there are few issues that do not chronicle the departure of some one to "that bourne from whence none return." I have been impress? ed with the fact, that so roany of your citi? zens have dropped off very suddenly in the last few years. Did you ever think of this? Many I could name, and now in this list is poor Guignard. When last I saw him, his manly form and healthful appearance por? trayed long life, but alas ! he too, bas gone. ''One by one we cross the river, One by one we're marching on." Beauteous Spring is again upon us with its budding leaves, opening flowers and singing bird3. The Wintry sleep has given way and nature is donning her lovliest hues. Happy and joyous hearts catch the impulse and mer? ry youth combine ?i the season's festivities. This is a great place for afternoon driving and riding, and from the way livery stables are patronized, the proprietors reap a rich harvest. Single horse and buggy $2 for the afternoon. Two horses and buggy same time $3. Carriage and 2 horses SI.50 first hour, and if used longer, Si per hour, &c. The "bloods" don't care for that; fast people live here and 2.40 is the speed. The cyclone of several weeks ago gave us the go by, but your humble servant felt just enough of it to make him feel like hunting a "rathole." It has had the effect of making the colored people here of a serious turn of mind, and a religious fever pervades them to an extent unprecedented. Converts can be counted by the hundreds. I witnessed two sabbaths ago, sixty odd immersed. There must have been 3,000 people congregated to see the sight, and a sight it was. The place was in ?n open old field and at the foot of a hill. The pool was rudely constructed and filled by a small running stream. 'Twas a solemn but at times-laughable scene. Such antics as some of the "sisters" cut up. One shouted that she had "seen Jesus in the water," and many hopped about like a chick? en with its head off. The pastor is cs large a man as Big Isaac. He administered the rite in three-fourths of an hour. Oh ! such siog ing as these people can do, makes mc think of old times at home ; and still the work goes on. Great building mania here again. The ring of the trewel and noise of the hammer is heard on all sides. Progress is the order of the day. The 20th May is to be celebrated here io a grand way, and is to eclipse all previous efforts. Two days are to be included. The main feature is the anniversary of the Meck? lenburg Declaration of Independence, first day, and the 2d is the unveiling of the Fire? men's Monument. A number of distinguish? ed men from Washington will take part in the festivities, also Father Ryan, the poet priest, will be here and will read a poem for the occasion. Visiting Military and fire Com? panies will also attend. Bicycle races, &c, will add to the ioterest of the occasion. Charlotte is going to "put her right foot fore? most," and promises her visitors a "huge old time." Wish the S. L. I. would come up. R. R. rates will be reduced on all the roads. Let the Watchman and Southron send up a re? porter. I know the Observer will take special care of your representative. Col. Chas. R. Jones the editor and proprietor is a live and genial gentleman. Lest I weary you, I'll stop. More anon. FRANK. Major Jones says that Brewer's Lung Re? storer is the most reliable throat and lnng remedy in the world, and we believe he is right. Brewer'3 Lung Restorer, the great lung and throat remedy, is for sale by Dr. D. J. Auld, Agent. I have taken Swift's Specific (S. S- S.) for" Rheumatism, and found perfect relief. It is the best tonic and Blood Remedy known I to science. D. P. HILL. Attorney at Law, Atlanta, Ga. Opening the Fountains. In numberless bulbs beneath the skin is secreted the liquid substance which gives the hair its texture, color and giocs. When this secretion stop3, the hair begins at once to be? come dry, lustreless, brittle and gray. Is that the condition of your hui r ? It so, apply Parker's Hair Balsam at once. It will restore the color, gloss and life by renewing the ac? tion of nature. The Balsam is not an oil, I not a dye, but an elegant toilet artiele, high j ly appreciated because of its cleanliness.
