Chreilxberg left fot Washington on the 12 o'clock train Sunday night, to at tend the meetiog of the Right Grand Lodge of the World which meets in that city to-day. Sr. George L. Dial, of the firm of Tozer k Dial, Columbia, gave us a call to-day. We are clad to koow that the business of this enterprising firm is prospering. Their Ad. will appear next week. The friends of Major Marion Moise have brought his name before the voters of the Third Judicial Circuit as candidate for Soli citor. His fitness for the office has been proven by the past year's attendance upon its duties and if elected, he will no doubt make a first class Solicitor. Xr. Dkk Weeks of Clarendon, was in town yesterday to attend a meeting of the stockhol ders of the Bellemont 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 pxrt toward increas ing the capital so as to ruu it to its full capa city. "A Suggestion" has been received and . will be duly considered. Mr. Morao has commenced excavating for .his big brick store on Liberty Street. ? Messrs. Bogin's and Hoyt's buildings are growing fast. The burnt district is rapidly disappearing. Mr. Monagban seeing how pretty his neigh bor, Mr. Solomons, had fixed his store front, vent to work on his, and it looks stunning. Paint and whitewash are wonderful beauti fiers? for stores we mean, but not girls. We are under obligation for an invitation to the exercises of the literary societies of 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 Fertilizer, with which we expect to astonish all our neighbors with the size of oar vegetables and the beauty of our flowers. Hurrah for AsWey! Showers have been plentiful and we have no doubt that General Green is putting in so vigorous an appearance as to require the most strenuous effort on the part of our ' farmers to check him. in speaking of Mr. Beard's candidacy last " week, we said that a Sumter lawyer had been Solicitor ever sines "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 hare received a neat little Volume of Poems, "Plantation Lays and Other Poems," by Belton O'Neal Townsend, of Florence, S. C, and tender our thanks for the same. Mr. Tbwnsend's subjects are chiefly of a local na ture, and as such, will interest all of our "home folks" who worship the divine god dess of poesy. The versification is very sweet in some of the lays, though occasionally faulty. The Book is healthy in sentiment and morals, and we heartily commend it to . the reading public. Sent postpaid os re ceipt of price ($1 25) by the author at Flor ence, S. C. The Debating Society tackled a tongh sub ject last week?Spiritualism. It was handled most skilfully, in fact torn all to pieces, and ' at the dote of the debate, was as dilapidated as an umbrella which bad been in the hands of Lnla Borst Since writing the above, a gentleman who is not yet a member of the society, but who doubtless soon will be, has defined Lnla Hurst's power as '-'the . centrifugal force extending from the objective point to the centre." Delayed. Sonse interesting communications from our correspondents have been crowded out of this issue, and will appear nest week. Public School. The exercises of the White Public School in Sumter will close with an exhibition in the Music Hall, Wednesday night. The public are invited to attend.

County Lodge of Good Templars. At a late meeting of Sumter Lodge I. O. G. T., a committee consisting of W. F. Rharae, W. H. Cuttino, and C M. Hurst, was ap pointed to make the necessary arrangements for organizing a County Lodge, which is to be composed of delegates from.each subordinate lodge in Sumter and Clarendon. The dele gates will meet in the Hall of Sumter Lodge the4th Wednesday in June, and organize. An earnest invitation is extended to the Good Templars in the Counties named to send a full delegation, and 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 is full of humor and pathos. Laughter and tears are near neighbors through all thescenes. The courting scenes and little by plays b ? tween Bob Briltles and the charmingly piqnant Nettie Nettleby are very amusing. While the downward progress of the poor drunkard and the deep grief of his wife are inexpressibly sad. Come all and see it. Contribute to a good ?aase and enjoy yonrself hugely for the even ing. The price has been reduced to 50 cents for reserved seats and 35 for general admission. . Boys, do yon want your girl to love you ? If so take he? to Lowranee's and treat her to creaa.

We will, on the first of July, present to our subscribers who are paid up six months in advance from that date, A STow No. 4 New Home Sewing Machine, and in order to decide who will receive it, and also to give to all a fair chance, have prepared a GUESSING BOTTLE.

Traywick, as sisted by Revr ManniBg Brown, Rev. A. A. Gilbert, of the South Carolina Methodist -Conference, to Miss Mary A. Buzhardt, of New berry County. Deaths. - Died on Monday, the 26tb, Mrs. Barbara | Jones, mother of Mr. Charles H. Jones of i Sumter. She was 86 years old the 6th of this ? month?was stricken with paralysis seven j months ago, though she had partially re j covered, and her death was the result of a I 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-knojvn over Sumter County, through bis peculiar religious rations, 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 riews, 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 sons, 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 Oakland, made an effort to jump on it, while in motion; but 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 j service, they performed the amputation and j left him doing well. Cotton and Gins. j Mr. C. T. Mason, Jr., has nearly com j pleted a large gin, built upon the same plan j ? as his model, and is anxious to test it. He ! j will pay the highest market price for seed | j cotton for that purpose, and will take it in | I any quantities, large or small, j Street Row. j Sunday night, the congregation going j j home from the Baptist Church met a boister- j j ous crowd in front of Whiteheart's saloon, i and some of them had difficulty In passing, j Next morning wo heard that the proprietor ! had been drunk the night previous and snap J ped a pistol, which was fortunately empty, ! at a colored man. He was arrested and ! brought before Council for punishment. Our I information of the Council proceedings was j meagre, 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 S5.00. Capt. Loring, who I believes in the observance of law and the i punishment of wrong, moved for a fine of j $10.00, but no one being present to second the j motion the Intendant imposed a fine of 1 $10 00, and would no doubt have been glad ! to m?ke it twice as heavy, for so aggravated j an offence. Warden DeLorme was not pres | ent at the meeting. Court. j The Court of General Sessions opened yes ! terday, with Judge Witherspoon presiding. His charge to the Grand Jury covered the j usual ground and was clear and succinct. He dwelt frith emphasis, upon their duty in re porting violations of the State law in refer I ence to selling whiskey, and the necessity of ! making carefal examination of the books and j bonds of the County officers. j True bills have been found in the following j cases: The State vs. John Howell?burglary and larceny. William G. Pierson?obtaining j watch under false pretence. S. G. Dennis? j trespass and larceny. William Thomas and j Samuel Jackson?stealing live stock. Robt. j Maiden?burglary and larceny. Virgil V. j Lawson. Robt. Rose and Bina Lawson?riot j and assault. The same defendants?riot and { trespass. Henry W. Wilder?carrying con j ceaied weapons. Hector Stewart?selling j crop under lien. James Bracy?burglary ' and larceny. Wm. Geddis?larceny. Allen Mack?Arson. Judge Witherspoon is pushing the work j rapidly and the Sessions Docket will possibly be cleared by Wednesday night. The Grand Jury was discharged to-day. A Pretty Scene. The crowning of the May Queen by the Methodist Sunday School hist Wednesday evening, brought out a prodigious crowd. The Hall was packed and the behavior even of the "bad boy" was remarkably good. At 8 30 the curtain rose and disclosed a pretty scene. A beautiful bower in the cen tre of the stage, elaborately decorated, con tained the throne for the Queen and seat* for j her two maids of honor . placed against the crimson background. The exhibition opened with a song from an | invisible choir, and then six girls as lovely as j fairies trooj>ed in under the control of their j directress. The Queen of May was crowned, | the Queen of Fairies opportunely being j present to perform that duty ; and through- i out the remainder of the exercises, consisting , of songs, dialogues and recitations, the two | Queens sat most lovingly side by side, while j the stage was covered and pervaded by a vis ion of loveliness rarely seen. The exhibition j was full of delightfully fanciful conceit?; and j the pretty little girls (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 j lemonade, were on band and for sale in the i rear of the Hall. Then came the rush ; bun- j dreds of thirsty souls trying at the same j time t<* cool their parching totigues. Will- : ing hands waited on the eager customers, I and the purse of the Church Building Asso- \ ciation was heavier by quite a large amount at j the close of the evening. Miss Sue Corbett was May Queen, Miss j Lula Bultman Queen of the Fairies and Miss Ckm China was Directress. ' WATC Miss Lula Hurst. The exhibition of the wonderful powers of this youog lady was witnessed by a fairly good house, last Friday nijrht. Mis3 Hnrst, her father and mother, and Prof. Atkinson made np 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 d'iring the performance, more especially v . i she has some unfortunate racing across th?. -.age, 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 merrry dance over the stage, and returned utterly discorafitted. 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 further triads, in all of wbich the urn-' -fcrellas came to grief, a billiard cue was brought out and several amusing tests of the power made with it. Miss Hurst did not grasp the cue but merely laid her open palm against it, while a gentleman would stand in front, and grasp it with both hands. In a ' few -noments the cue would move suddenly, frequently changing its direction, but with a force almost resistless as long as the perform- 1 er's hands were in contact with it. After a few minutes recess, daring which Prof. Atkin son gave an aransiDg account of "Old Ruby's playing," Miss Hurst showed her power in moving, or preventing the movement of chairs. At one time, four or five stout men were tugging at one chair, which was held 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 Col.?Earle, Maj. Beard, Mr. Perry Mos es, Mr. I. C. Ingram, W. D. Blanding, Esq., Mr. J. H. Chandler, Mr. J. A. Schwerin and Mr. W. F. Rbame, in addition to those we have already mentioned. She is a veritable wonder, and ha3 been the main topic of conversation on the streets since the exhibition Friday night. Waceamaw. The excursion to Waceamaw came off, as advertised, with great eclat. The party had a glorious day at the lake, boating, fishing, dancing, loafing, gossiping and, some of them, sleeping. They reached home Friday morning in good spirits and with dirty faces. (We suppose towels and soap were scarce down there.) Several little side shows were enjoyed during the trip. One of the excursionists got into a scrimmage with a Florence youth, and they tried to break each others' heads, but made a signal failure, A gallant Marion youth felt himself agrieved by another excur sionist, and commenced choking him, but help came and peace was made. An ex-po 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 are ready to go again?next year. Sumter Democratic Club Meeting. The Club met in the Music Hall at 8:30 P. M. Tuesday, 20th instant, with the following officers: W.U. Cuttino, President; H. F. Wilson, Esq., Vice President, and T. T. Up shur, Jr., Secretary. The President stated the business of the meeting to be the election of delegates to the County Convention, which meets here June 2d. There being 428 names on the roll, the Club was entitled to seventeen delegates and a delegate at large, and the following were elected: W. II. Cuttino, delegate at large: R D. Lee, Hon. Jno. S. Richardson, A. Moses, H. F. Wilson, Esq., R. A. Brand, Dr. A. L. Blanding? M. Moise, Esq., L. P. Loring, J. J. Dargan, Esq., W. D. Blanding, Esq., Dr. J. J. Bossard, H. Sch.verin, 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. Mouaghan was appointed to revise the roll. Mr, D. B. Anderson offered a resolution, that we pursue in the campaign of 1884 a conciliatory policy toward the negroes, com patible with Democratic dignity, which was adopted. He 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 stead, that he shonld 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 County, and we endorse his administration. The meeting then adjourned. Providence Democratic Club. Providence Democraic Club met on tho 24th May, to elect delegates to the County Convention, to be held iu Sumter the 2d of June. The representation was based upon the roll of 18*2, after striking therefrom the names of thirty-four members who have removed from the township or have died since that time. Nineteen new members were aided to the Club, which then elected eight delegates in cluding one al large, and four alternates. The delegates were instructed to vote for the Primary System uf nominating County officers, shun Id that matter be brought, before this Convention. The following resolutions were offered and passed?the first, unanimously, the second with but three dissenting votes: Unsolved, 1st. That the Providence Club desires union and harmony in the Party of our County, and seriously apprehend, that a rupture and division can only bo averted by a fair and square primary election lor the nomination of County officers in the ap proaching campaign. Resolved, 2d. That it is the sense of this Club that his Excellency, Hugh S. Thompson, in accordance with his declaration of princi ples and purposes, also ?villi Iiis oath of office, has ably and faithfully discharged the duties of the Executive office; and we therefore heartily endorse and commend his adminis tration. The meeting was well attended, and all sections of the township were represented. J. B. RAF FIELD, JSec. Pro. Tern. Sal. Mascatellc is a good Medicine. It is an invigorating, vitalizing, refreshing, tonic beverage?so says a friend who has tried it. 1HMAN [For the Watchman and Southron.] From Mt. Clio. Mt. Clio, Scmter-Co., May 26, 1884. 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 Demecratic Club met at its usual place, Keid'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 sliowers 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 to the cultiva tion of small grain than formerly, and when ""TtTey-devote still more attention to it, in ray opinion, there will be a corresponding im provement in finances: and the most effectual way of abolishing the "Lien Law," will be for every farmer to make his bread-stuffs at home, and not have his granary in the far West. W. Swimming Pens Democratic Club. Swimming Pens, S. C, May 26, 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. Baker, at large; N. S. McLeod, A. S. Brown, E. F. Burrows, W. S. Dinkins, J. W. McCoy. Alternates: M. T. McLeod, It. M. Jenkins, Jr., R. P. Weldon. The following resolutions were offered by A. S. Brown, and seconded by W. S. Din kins : Resolved, 1st. That we condemn the at- J tempt made by certain persons in the County J papers to create dissension in the Democratic j Party. 2d. That we endorse the action of our Sen ator in reference to appointments of officers j for this County. 3d. That our delegates be instructed to read these resolutions before the County I Convention which meets on the 2d day of I June next. 4th. That a copy of these resolutions be j sent to each of our County papers for publi- i cation. N. S. McLEOD, Secretary. The Lynchburg Democratic Club. The club met Saturday last and elected Messrs. W. J. McLeod, J. A. Rhame. M.E. McDonald, S. C. Kilpatrick, D. E. Keels. T. F. Cole and J. A. Luckey as delegates to the County Convention. -? ? ? -> Spring Hill Democratic Club. Spring Hill, S C, May 24, 1884. The Club organized this day with the fol lowing officers : Col. II. E. L. Peebles, Presi dent; W. S. Smith, Vice President; J. E. DuPre, Secretary.

Mr. Editor: A meeting of the Rafting Creek Democratic Club, was held at Rera bert's Mill ou Saturday evening the 24th, inst. The President being absent Dr. E. J. Rernbert wascallcd 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. The following delegates were appointed to the Count}' Convention, to meet on the 2nd, prox. At large, Dr. E. J. Rernbert; Messrs. T. 0. Sanders, Isaac Keels, J. K. McLeod, J. W. Hudson, and G. W. Hancock. The primary or convention sys tem of nominating County officers did not come up before the club, but I am inclined to believe a minority of the delegates are in favor of the convention plan. A. K. SANDERS, Acting Secretary. - - - Privateer Democratic Club. Privateer, S. C, May 24, 1884. At a meeting of Privateer Democratic Club held this day. the following resolutions were unanimously adopted: Whereas our government is a represeuta I live government of the people: Resolved, 1st. That we, the members of Privateer Democratic Club will sustain our Senator and Representatives in the Legisla ture in the faithful discharge of their legiti mate duties. 2d. That we see nothing in the action of our Senator and Representatives to condemn as regards the appointments for Sumter County, notwithstanding the action of the Governor in regard to the same. 3d. That a copy of these resolutions be sent to each of the County papers for publication. J. SCOTT DWIGHT, Secretary. Cotton.
