The friends of Major Marion Moise have brought his name before the voters of the Third Judicial Circuit as candidate for Soli citor. Bis fitness for the office has been proven by the past year's attendance upon its da ties and if elected, be will no doubt J make a first class Solicitor. Mr. Dick Weeks of Clarendon, was in town yesterday to attend a meeting of the stoekbol dersof the Bel lemon t Factory. As he does not come to town often he received a warm ? greeting from his old friends and acquaintan ces^ Mr. Weeks is not afraid of the Factory and is willing to do his part toward increas ing the capital so as to run it to its full capa ei?. - .

We are under obligation for an invitation j to the exercises of the literary societies of j Davidson College, June 18th. Their card of invitation is a gem in beauty and artistic finish. We are in receipt of a package of Ashley Garden Fertilixer, with which we expect to astonish all our neighbors with the size of ?nr vegetables and the beauty of our flowers. Hurrah for As Wey ! Showers have been plentiful and we have no doubt that General Green is putting in j so vigorous an appearance as to require the ' most strenuous effort on the part of onr ' farmers to check him. ] in speaking of Mr. Beard's candidacy last ; week, we said that a Sumter lawver had been Solicitor ever since "reconstruction." We meant reconstruction in that office, when a Democrat was elected to succeed a Republi can. Of course we did not mean the recon struction of eighteen years ago. We have received a neat little Volume of Poems, "Plantation Lays and Other Poems," by Belton O'Neal Townseud, of Florence, S. C., and tender our thanks for the same. Mr. Townsend's subjects are chiefly of a local na ture, and as such, will interest all of our <(bome folks'* who worship th?* divine god deat of poesy. The versification is very sweet in some of the Uys, though occasionally faulty. The Book is healthy in sentiment and morals, and we heartily commend it to * . the reading public.

County Lodge of Good Templars. At a late meeting of Sumter Lodge 1. U. G. T., a committee consisting of W. F. Rharoe, W.H. Cultino, and C. M.

The dele gates will meet in the Hall of Sumter Lodge the4th Wednesday in Juoe. and organize. An earnest invitation is extended to the Good Templars in the Counties named to send a full delegation, aod give a good send off to this enterprise. A Social Glass. We cannot speak too highly of this Drama which is to come off to-night. The actors all do credit to their parts and nothing less than a crowded house should greet them. The play it full of humor aod pntho3. Laughter and tears are near neighbors through ail the scenes. The courting scenes and little by plays be tween Bob Brittles and the charmingly piquant Nettie Nettleby are very amusing. While the downward progress of the poor drunkard and the deep grief of his wife are inexpressibly sad. Gome all and see it. Contribute to a good cause and enjoy yourself hugely for the even ing.

Died on Monday, the 26tb, Mrs. Barbara Jones, mother of Mr. Charles H. Jones of Sumter. She was 86 years old the 6th of this month?was stricken with paralysis seven months ago, though she had partially re covered, and her death was the result of a j combination of diseases. Her funeral services were held at the Cemetery this morning by Rev. C. C. Brown. Mr, Cunningham Boyle, formerly of Lynchburg, *died near Greeleyville on the Central R. R., on Saturday the 10th instant. Mr. Boyle was well-knojrn over Sumter County, through bis peculiar religious notions, which he advocated for years most strenuously. His honesty of purpose was known and acknowledged by all, and while but few were inclined to subscribe to his religious views, none doubted his conscien tious belief. Mr. Boyle was twice married. Mrs. Mar tha Fullwood was his first wife and Mrs. M. S. Carraway his second. He leaves his wife, two eons, two daughters and a brother to mourn his loss. A Serious Accident. Yesterday morning, a negro man, Jessie ?:-, who had charge of a tram car at Mr. IVC. Ingrara's mill, near Oaklaud, made an effort to jump on it, while in motion; but j fell in front, and his foot caught in the wheel, and was badly crushed. Dr. Mood was sent for, and pressing Rev. C. C. Brown into service, they performed the amputation and left him doing well. Cotton and Gins. Mr. C. T. Mason, Jr., has nearly com : pleted a large gin, built upon the same plan j as his model, and is anxious to test it. He ! i will pay the highest market price for seed j j cotton for that purpose, and will take it in | ! any quantities, large or small. Street Row. Sunday night, the congregation going home from the Baptist Church met a boister ous crowd in front of Whiteheart's saloon, and some of them had difficulty In passing. Next morning we heard that the proprietor had been drunk the night previous and snap I ped a pistol, which was fortunately empty, 1 at a colored man. fie was arrested and ' brought before Council for punishment. Our j information of the Council proceedings was j n.?agre, but we understand that two of the j Wardens, whose sympathies and predilections j are always on the side of the saloon keeper, j voted for a fine of $5.00. Capt. Loring, who j believes in the observance of law and the ! punishment of wrong, moved for a fine of $10.00, but no one being present to second the | I motion the Intendant imposed a fine of j j i j S10 00, and would no doubt have been glad I to m?ke it twice as heavy, for so ?pgrnvated j an offence. Warden DeLorme was not pres | ent at the meeting. Court. The Court of General Sessions opened yee | terday, with Judge Witherspoon presidiog. His charge to the Grand Jury covered the usual ground and was clear and succinct. He dwelt Vilh emphasis, upon their duty in re porting violations of the State law in refer ! ence io selling whiskey, and the necessity of ! making careful examination of the books and j bonds of the County officers, j True bills have been found in the following ! cases: } The State vs. John Howell?burglary and f larceny.

The Grand Jury was discharged to-day. ] A Pretty Scene The crowning of the May Queen by the Methodist Sunday School last Wednesday evening, brought out a prodigious crowd. The Hall whs parked and the behavior even of the "bad boy" was remarkably good. At 8 30 the curtain rose and disclosed a pretty scene. A beautiful bovver in the cen tre of the stage, elaborately decorated, con tained the throne for the Queen and seats for her two maids of honor . placed against the crimson background. The exhibition opened with a son^ from an invisible choir, and then six girls as lovely as fairies trooped io under the control of their directress. The Queen of May was crowned, the Queen of Fairies opportunely being present to perform that duty ; and through out the remainder of the exercises, consisting of songs, dialogues and recitations, the two Qtieens sat most lovingly side by side, while the stage was covered and pervaded by a vis ion of loveliness rarely seen. The exhibition was full of delightfully fanciful conceit? ; and the pretty little girl? (and big ones too) in their fairy costumes made the scene most in teresting even to those who could hear noth ing. Dr. Auld stated at the close of the ceremony that ice cream, strawberries and lemonade, were on hand and for sale in the rear of the Halt. Then came the rush ; hun dreds of thirsty souls trying at the same time t? cool their parching totigues. Will ing hands waited on the eager customers, and the purse of the Church Building Asso ciation was heavier by quite a large amount at the close of the evening. Miss Sue Corbett was May Queen, Miss Lula BultmanQueen of tbe Fairies and Miss Clean China was Directress. : WATC Miss Lula Hurst. The exhibition of the wonderful powers of this young lady was witnessed by a fairly good house, last Friday night. Mis3 Hurst, her father and mother, and Prof. Atkinson made up the troupe. She is a tall, well form ed young lady, of modest demeanor and pleasant face, crowned with a wealth of dark brown, curly hair. She laughs a great deal during the performance, more especially when she has some unfortunate racing across the stage, at break-ueck speed. Prof. Atkinson made some introductory re marks, and then called upon a number of gentlemen to take seats upon the stage and test the reality of the performance. Mr. Henry Harby was first turned over to the ten der mercies of this resistless power. Miss Hurst held an open umbrella above him. It soon began to gyrate rapidly., and the couple were hustled over the stage in all directions, over chairs and around the scenes, until the umbrella was finally crushed. Mr. Altaraont Moses was next led a raerrry dance over the i stage, and returned utterly discomfit ted. | The Proprietor of the Watchman and Southron tried his hand, and in a few moments he was rushing across the stage with as much speed as if he were running for a doctor. After some.fn-b^- ?rl. '.s, in all of which the urn- j brellas came to grief, a billiard cue was I brought out and several amusing tests of the i power made with it. Miss Hurst did not! grasp the cue but merely laid her open palm against it, while a gentleman would Staad in front, and grasp it with both hands. In a few moments the cue would move suddenly, frequently changing its direction, but with a force almost resistless as long as the perform er's hands were in contact with it. After a few minutes recess, during which Prof. Atkin son gave an amusing account of "Old Ruby's playing," Miss Hurst showed her power in J moving, or preventing the movement of j chairs. At one time, four or five stout men j were tugging at one chair, which was held j suspended in the air by her mysterious pow er. She moved chairs across the stage with men seated in them, merely laying her open ' palms against the back. Her power was test- ? ed by CoI>Earle, Maj. Beard, Mr. Perry Mos- I es, Mr. I. C. Ingram, W. D. Blanding, Esq., ! Mr. J. H. Chandler, Mr. J. A. Schwerin and Mr. W. F. Rhame, in addition to those we have already mentioned. She is a veritable wonder, and has been the j main topic of conversation on the streets since the exhibition Friday night. Waccamaw. The excursion to Waccamaw came off, as ; advertised, with great eclat. The party had I a glorious day at the lake, boating, fishing, i dancing, loafing, gossiping and, some of ? them, sleeping. They reached home Friday ; morning in good spirits and with dirty faces, j (We suppose towels and soap were 6carce \ down there.) Several little side shows were enjoyed j during the trip. One of the excursionists got I into a scrimmage with a Florence youth, and I they tried to break each others' heads, but \ made a signal failure, A gallant Marion j youth felt himself agrieved by another excur- j sionist, and commenced choking him, but j help came and peace was made. An cx-po- i liceman, of Sumter, who believes in the old saying that "all work and no play makes Jack a dull boy," was having a gay time with the crowd ; but indulged in too much chin music while in combative Florence, and was promptly knocked down. He has heen wearing court plaster ever since. The party caught one fish and had three extra bites, (mosquito bites possibly,) and, as we before remarked, had a superlatively good time, and j are ready to go again?next year. ? ?? ???- - im - Sumter Democratic Club MeetiDg. I The Club met in the Music Hall at 8:30 P. j M. Tuesday, 20th instant, with the following i officers: W.U. Cuttino, President; II. F. j Wilson, Esq., Vice President, and T. T. ?p- i shur, Jr., Secretary. The President stated the business of the j meeting to be the election of delegates to the I County Convention, which meets here June 2d. There being 428 names on the roll, the ! Club was entitled to seventeen delegates and I a delegate at large, and the following were I elected : W. II. Cuttino, delegate at large; R D. j f.#ee, lion. Jno. S. Richardson, A. Moses, 11. j F. Wilson, Esq., R. A. Brand, Dr. A. L. j ?'.anding? M. Moisc, Esq., L. P. Loving, J. j J. Dargan, Esq., W. D. Blanding, Esq., Dr. J. J. Bossard, H. Sch werin, Dr. J. A. Mood, R J. Dick, J. F. W. DeLorme, D. J. Auld and R. F. Hoyt, delegates, and Jos H. Earle, Esq., D. B. Anderson, H. L. Darr, J. D. Graham, M. Sanders and J. J. McLeod, alter nates. The delegates were instructed to vote for the Primary System, in making nomina tions. On motion, the Club opposed nomination of State officers at the June Convention. A committee consisting of W. II. Cuttino, D. J. Auld, J. D. Graham, A. Moses and R. P. Monaghan was appointed to revise the roll. Mr. D. B. Anderson offered ft resolution, that we pursue in the campaign of 1884 a conciliatory policy toward the negroes, com patible with Democratic dignity, which was adopted. lie also offered a resolution that all the campaign expenses be paid by the nominees for office, which was adopted, but afterwards reconsidered and laid on the table. It was decided that should any delegate be absent when the Convention was organized, and an alternate be seated in his 6tead, that he should serve as delegate during the whole Convention, even though the absent delegate should afterwards present himself. On motion it was resolved, that we uphold Gov. Thompson in his practical illustration of civil service reform, as applied to Sumter j j County, a.id we endorse his administration. The meeting then adjourned. Providence Democratic Club. Providence Democraic Club met on tho 24ih May, to elect delegates to the County Convention, to be held in Sumter the 2d of June. The representation was based upon the roll j of 1882, after striking therefrom the names of { thirty-four members who have removed from j the township or have died since that time. J Nineteen new members were added to the j Club, which then elected eight delegates in ; eluding one at large, and four alternates, j Tiie delegates were instructed to vote for the I Primary System of nominating County officers, ; should thai matter be brought before this Convention. The following resolutions were I offered and passed?the first unanimously, ! the second with but three dissenting voles: Rrsolved, 1st. That the Providence Club ! desires union and harmony i:i the Party of j our County, and seriously apprehend, that a ' rupture and division can only be averted by ! a fair and square primary election for the nomination of County officers in the ap proaching campaign. i Itcsolrrd, 2d. That il is the sense of this I Club that his Excellency, Hugh S. Thompson, j in accordance with his declaration of princi j pies and purposes,also with his oath of office, I has ably and faithfully discharged the duties j of the" Executive office; and we therefore j heartily endorse and commend his adminis j nation. i The meeting was well attended, and all j sections of the township were represented.

Mr. Editor: I notice in your columns let letters from different parts of the County, but have never seen one from my portion?old Mt. Clio?so have concluded to write you a few lines to let you see that she is not dead, if she is in the ''black District." Our Dcmecratic Club met at its usual place, Reid's Mill, on Saturday afternoon, 24th instant, for reorganizing and electing officers to serve for the next two years. Our honored and esteemed citizen, Col. J. Harrington Cooper was unanimously elected President, Mr. J. C. Scott, Vice President, and Mr. A. A. Brearley, our most enterprising young farmer, Secretary and Treasurer. The weather has been fine for several weeks, with now and then refreshing showers to quench the thirst of the young cotton plant. Crops are growing finely. A good many farmers did not get a perfect stand of cotton at the beginning of the season, but by pa tience and replanting they have all succeeded in getting good stands. Corn crops are quite encouraging at present. Farmers in this sec tion are paying more attention ro the cultiva tion of small grain than formerly, and when uey dovote still more attention to it, in my opinion, there, will be a corresponding im provement in finances: and the most effectual way of abolishing the^LTea Law," will be for every farmer to make his bread-3tuffs at home, and not have bis granary in the far West. W. Swimming Pens Democratic Club. Swimming Pens, S. C, May 2G, 1884. At a meeting of the Swimming Pens Dem ocratic Club, held May 24th, the following delegates were elected to the County Conven tion : T. J. Bilker, at large; N. S. McLeod, A. S. Brown, E. F.

Remoert was called to the chair, and Mr. A. K. Sanders requested to act as Secretary. The meeting was not as large as was expected, owing to a heavy rain which fell about the hour of assembling.
