OUR GUESSING BOTTLE.
A Sewing Machine to be Given Away.
Premium to Cash-Paying Subscribers.
We v? ill, on the first of July, present to our
subscribers who are paid up six months in
advance from that date,
A New No. 4 Kew 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.
It holds a quart, and is filled mostly with
corn and peas, some watermelon seed and a
spoonful of white mustard seed being added.
It is sealed up-no one knowing the number
in it. At the time named the contents will be
counted, and the machine given to the guess
nearest the right number.
Come np, or send, aud put your guess on
file. Guesses can be sent by mail.
Two guesses allowed to those paid up to
July, 1885.
The Machine is perfectly new, and furnish?
ed with usual attachments. A cordial invita?
tion is extended to call at this office and exam?
ine the Machine and Guessing Bottle.
Deaths.
Mr. and Mrs. J. M. Mosley, of Wedgefield,
bad the misfortune to lose their little son
Benjamin, on last Friday night
Children's Day,
The celebration of the Methodist Sunday
School of Sumter, has been postponed until
next fall. Rev. R. X. Wells, who was elected
to preach the sermon, has declined.
Push.
It is not often that Sumter has as many
solid buildings in course of erection as at ?
present. Mr. Bogin's store approaching com?
pletion, the large double store of the Messrs,
Hoyt and Mr. Stubbs, and last, though by no
means least, Mr. Moran's large store on Lib?
erty Street, ali of brick, show that the busi?
ness enterprise of the people here is bouyant
abd hopeful.
Dime Reading.
The Dime Reading at Mr. A. A. Solomons'
last Wednesday evening had a large attend?
ance. We have abstained from making any
complimentary personal reference to the read?
ers, ic speaking of these agreeable entertain?
ments in the past, bot break that rule for
this once, and mention Miss Sue Wilson for
her judicious selection and fine reading. We
enjoyed it very much.
Generosity.
We publish elsewhere a local from the !
Richmond DUimick concerning a donation ;
made by the Columbus Buggy Company and {
its employees, for the benefit of the Confeder- j
ate Soldiers' Home. Our readers may re- j
member that, some years ago, this company j
gave the committee who were raising funds
for repairs upon the Baptist Church in Sum?
ter, a splendid gift, so that benevolence seems
quite in their line, and we take pleasure in
reporting such geuerous donations.
Fine Cattle.
We had a peep at Mr. A, A. Solomons'
Jersey Cattle yesterday morning, and they j
are well worth seeing. Ile has two heifer
calves, one under thirteen and the other a !
few days over thirteen months old ; and both j
have, for calves, well developed bags, and can \
be milked. In fact we saw both of them !
milked, and while the quantity was small, it j
was good, rich milk. Who can beat that? j
He has a bull calf, ?l?vera months old that is |
a fine looking auimal. These with a mother
ly looking Jersey cow, in the full glory of j
milking time, make up his stock of Jersies,
and finer looking ones we never saw.
We look upon this matter of improving the j
breed of cattle as of much importance, and {
are always pleased to hear of the introduc-!
tion of improved strains by our irieuds.
New Orleans Exposition. I
We have just seen a letter to Col. J. J.
Dargan from the Commissioner of Agricul-1
ture, urging the importance of a full meeting I
of all who are interested in having the re- j
Sources of Sumter Couuty well represented at j
New Orleans.
We bave ^oady published the time for j
this meeting July) and will be glad to j
keep this matter before the people until pro- I
per action is taken. We will publish next!
week a circular from thc Commissioner, giv- ]
tog specific directions for packing and ship?
ping samples, and call upon our farriers to
lake the matter in hand, so thal the exhibition j
from Sumter at New Orleans next Fall may ?
be a credit to the County.
The Columbia Female College.
We are under obligation to Miss Anna B.
Smith for an invitation to the 17th Annual |
Commencement of the Columbia Female Col- j
lege, June 15th to 10th. |

The Sumter Post Office.
Several occurrences of late have convinced
us that red tape is more abundant at the Post
Office in Sumter than the spirit of accommo- ;
dation. It is right and fitting that there j
should be a definite hour for opening and j
closing the office, but the rule which makes j
it a criminal offence (apparently) for the
Postmaster to open the Post Office one minute
before eight in thc morning, or keep it open
two seconds after five iu the afternoon, is
stupid. There are occasions when this cast
iron rule is more honored in the breach than
in the observance-for example, a gentleman
came to the Office one evening last week and j
was walking up the steps when the clock
siruck five, and although he called to the j
Postmaster and asked for mail, the window j
was shut in his face, .ind he had to return I
home, several miles in the country, without j
it. This man bas to work cn his farm to j
support himself, and not liking to lose the j
middle of the day, slops his work in the j
afternoon to come to town for bis mail, l?e J
happens to be ten seconds behind, and has ?
the door shut in bis face. Now these regula- |
tions may be compulsory, and not to bo vio?
lated by the local Postmaster, but if they are,
the men who made then? should bc heartily ;
ashamed of their handiwork, and the men ;
who enforce them, drummed out of thc coun- j
try.
We have always believed that laws should j
be for the benefit of the people, and not to j
gr.uify the whims of officers ; and in the Post
Office Department, more than any other, be?
cause of its intimate relationship with all the
people, should there be the greatest amount
of accommodation both in letter and spirit.
An occurrence of a similar nature happen?
ed a short time ago ; and we call it an out- j
rage. The Post Office authorities may have ?
a nicer name for it, but we have no doubt it
means the same thing. Of course, we are
powerless to help ourselves, but we can enjoy j
the luxury of growling even though we can?
n?t bite.

Sunday m Sumter.
Rev. S. A. Weber, who filled the Method?
ist pulpit last Sunday, has this to say in his
paper, the Southern Christian Advocate, June
nth.
"It was my privilege and great pleasure to
spend last Sunday in Sumter, the garst of
my good friends, Brother and Sister J. D.
Craig. The purpose of my visit was to sup- j
ply the Methodist pulpit in the absence of the j
pastor, who was in Washington, D. C., in
attendance upon the "Right Worthy Grand
Lodge of the Good Templars of the World,"
of which at its recent session he was elected
Right Worthy Grand Chaplain. Bro.
Chreitzberg ?s most highly appreciated at
Sumter, and is doing a good work. I preached
and administered the sacrament on Sunday
morning. The congregation was not large,
but quite attentive, I was over-persuaded to
conduct the union service at our Church at
night. The congregation was much larger.
The plan is to bold such a service on the first
Sunday night of each month, the Baptist,
Presbyterian and Methodist parsons taking it
turn about in the different Churches-no
preacher occupying bis own pulpit. The plan
seems to work well, and >,o promote good
feeling. Brothers Edmunds (Presbyterian)
and Brown (Baptist) were both present on
Sunday night, and took part in the services.
The Methodist brethren are making haste
slowly to build a trew Church, and the pro?
bability is that the District Parsonage will
be erected here during the coming fall. A
short call on my good friends at the Parson?
age was the only opportunity J had of ac?
cepting the hospitalities of my Sumter friends j.
outside of the delightful home to which I
was so thoughtfully assigned."
Our Exchanges.
The Aiken Journal and Review came out
last week in a nice, new outfit.
The table of contents in the June Electra
was unusually good. It occupies a most de?
sirable mean between the extreme, eruditiou ;
affected by some magazines, and the sloppy
nonsense in others.
The New Era, the colored man's paper of
Charleston, S. C., has scpeoded publication.
We are sorry, for it was always conservative
in politics and its inflence was certainly ben?
eficial to its readers.
Privateer Items.
PRIVATEER, S. C., June 2, 1884. j
Mr. Editor: Not having seen anything in j
your paper tn a long time, relating to the
farming interests in Privateer, I will try to
let yon knew that old Privateer is making
gratifying progress toward getting square
with the world next fall. Oats are getting |
ripe, and tho' low, have good heads. Dr. j
Forman and Mr. W. A. Nettles bare cut their
fall sown oats.
Cotton is more promising than it has been j
tn several years at this season ; the grass has j
been easy to get control of. Nearly all the
cotton is chopped out, and large part has
been hoed the second time.
One of onr best farmers says that the corn
is small for the time of year ; but we venture
to say that with a few exceptions, it is in bet- I
ter condition than usual, and we think more
manure has been applied to corn than ever
before.
Mr. T. H. Osteen says he will begin plant- !
ing peas in his corn on Tuesday, by running j
shovel lurrow side of corn, drop peas in it, |
and cover by breaking out middles with ?
twister or turn shovel, "and let her rip." j
Ile says more corn is ruined by too much j
plowing than by not enough. Will watch j
the result with interest. If some of us don't \
bestir ourselves, he will make so many sweet
potatoes that we will envy bim ; be says "I
have got two acres planted, and will put out
one acre more and expect to make about one \
thousand bushels."
Blackberries and Whortleberries are get- j
ting ripe, and troops of half grown darkies ?
(in fact alt sizes that can walk) are marching .
about hunting berries. Nut much more work j
will they do for awhile, at least. The crop
of berries of all the wild kinds is large; straw- j
berries have not done well.
The prospect for grapes, both wild and cul- j
tivated, is encouraging ; and we think lhere
will be a fine peach crop.
A push of work during the fine weather i
lately has prevented me from putting on paper j
"Rye as a forage crop," but will do so as
soon as possible, and gire the many readers ?
of your paper my experience with it.
And now if you will bear with me I will j
give you other than farming items.
Misses Kate and Sudie Furman, left on Fri- |
day evening for Milledgeville, Ga , where j
they will visit Mrs. Farish Furman.
Past Grand Worthy (?) Financial Secretary
Tho. IL Osteen, of Carolina Lodge, 173: I. !
0. G. T., made an eloquent speech on Tem- j
perance before the Ostern Sunday School, j
Sunday before last. He is an earnest advo- j
cate of the cause. He says Lodge 173 at St.
James Church in Clarendon, is gaining
steadily ; aud that at the last meeting "the
goat died from exhaustion," brought on by
initiating so many new members.
And now Mr. Editor, with this query
which I hope some one will answer, I will
close: Why ts it that, in this land of
Churches, Bibles, and Newspapers, and in
all of the light of the nineteenth century, j
Temperance societies have to be organized to j
do the work that thc churches are divinely ?
commanded to perform? Are Christians
doing their duty to let this state of affairs!
exist-especially in view of the fact that there j
is scarcely any perceptible diminution of j
drunkenness ? I think this question should |
receive the thoughtful and prayerful con- j
sideratiou of every thinking person.

How the Young Grant's Stand.
The individual schedules in the
assignments of Frederick D. Grant
and Jesse R. Grant having been filed
in court, it is learned that the debts
and liabilities of Frederick amount
to ?2,215,060 and of Jessie to
?95,429 Frederick's assets, of
which the actual value is unknown,
amount to the nominal sum of
?1.990,013, and Jessie's to the nom?
inal sum of ?131,950. A striking
feature in Frederick's schedule is
the item of ?140,800 for securities
borrowed from the obliging firm of
Grant. & Ward, without security.
The amount due to preferred creditors
is 243, 966 ; to other creditors, ?820,

The Senate passed the House bill
June 2, fixing the rate of postage on
mail matter of the second class, when
sent by persons other than the publisher
or news agent. This bill, as it came
from the House, fixed one cent as the
rate of postage on newspapers weighing
three ounces or less. Mr. Marcy ex?
plained that the Senate Committee on
Post Offices and Post Hoads had found
that some of thc large newspapers
weighed a little over three ounces, and
had therefore extended the newspaper
limit of weight for one cent postage to
four ounces. The bill passed the Sen?
ate with this amendment.
The Carolina Spartan says: "J. U.
Addenbrook, wife and eight children,
and H. M. Scott, wife and three chil?
dren, were registered at the Central
Hotel last Friday. They were from
Warwickshire, England, having left
there on the 4th and reached here on
the 16th. They went to Henderson
ville, where they expect to settle if they
like the country. They are sturdy,
intelligent people, and we are glad to
see such settlers coming to this sec?
tion "
OBITUARY.
Died, at her home in Sumter, S. C., April
8th, 1884, Mrs. SARAH ERVIN WINN, wife of D.
James Winn, Esq., and daughter of the late
Francis H. Kennedy, Esq., and Mrs. Ada E.
Kennedy, aged 35 years, lacking two days.
In the death of this excellent lady, society
has lost a refined, genial, and useful member :
the Church one who loved it with singular
devotion, which beginning in her girlhood,
grew and strengthened to the close of her
life; the family circle, a loving daughter,
the only remaining child of her mother and
she a widow, a true wife, and herself the
tender mother of five children, the eldest a
boy of eleven years, and the youngest, a girl
of sixteen months. But this loss is not with?
out its compensations, such as are possible in
case3 of this sort. The fragrance of her
memory remains as sweet incense in all these
circles, tc remind them of her virtues; ond
the force of her example to teach them what
they may become. The fullest and the
sweetest compensation of all, however, is the
assurance left them of her happiness, in the
new sphere into which she has entered. It
was interesting and comforting to observe,
in her last sickness, the fulfilment of tha
promise that God gives his saints grace ac?
cording to their day. At first, when she be?
gan to realise that her disease was fatal,
there was a shuddering horror at the pros?
pect of death, that made her question her
title to the heavenly inheritance. Hut when
reminded that the promise was only grace
for the day, there was a spirit of resignation,
and then one of joyful acquiescence which
enabled her to say, "Though the attractions
of earth are many and strong, yet. to depart
and bc with Christ, I feel to he for better."
Her last end was perfect peace. When thc
cold hand of death first grasped her heart,
there was a convulsive shiver. But the con?
sciousness of the presence of ODO stronger
than death, soon diffused its glow, and then
amidst tender farewell kisses to all the dearest
ones of earth who pressed around lier, aud
dying testimonies to the faithfulness and con?
stancy of a Saviour's love, she breathed out
her life on her husband's bosom, so gently
that ere he was aware, she was asleep.
So fades a summer cloud away,
So sinks the gale when storms are o'er ;
So gently shuts the eye of day,
So dies a wave along ?he shore.
lier body was committed to tho dust on
her thirty-fifth birthday, the large attendance
at the church and the grave manifesting the
love and respect with which she was regard?
ed by all classes, and their sense of the loss
sustained in her early death.

In August, 1881, it was discovered that my
son's wife was in the last stages of consump?
tion. She was coughing incessantly and at
times would discharge quantities of pus from
her lungs, could not sleep or retain anything
on her stomach, and we thought it only a
question of time when life would be com?
pelled to give way to the fell destroyer. After
al! other remedies had failed, we got Brewer's
fiting Restorer and began it in very small
doses, as she was very weak. She soon began
to improve ; continued thc remedy and was
restored to life and health, and is to-day bet?
ter than she has ever been before. I regard
her restoration as nearly a miracle, for which
she is indebted to Brewer's Lung Restorer.

Hoosier Schoolmaster," "wore one glass ere
and a wig. The glass eye was constantly
slipping out of focus, and the wig turning
around sidewise on his head whenever be ad?
dressed the people of the Flat Creek District."
Sad spectacle. Parker's Hair Balsam pre?
serves and promotes the growth of the natural
hair. It also restores the natural color to
hair which has faded or become gray. Clean,
j elegant, beneficial, highly perfumed.

FEMALE REGULATOR
THIS famous remedy most happily meets the de*
mand of thc age for \voman's peculiar and multiform
afflictions. It is a remedy for WOMAN ONLY, bad
for ONE SPECIAL CLASS of her diseases. It is a
specific for certain diseased conditions of the womb,
and proposes to so control thc Menstrual Function
as to regulate all the derangements and inegolari?e?
of Woman's
MONTHLY SICKNESS...
Its proprietor claims for it no other medical property;
and to doubt thc fact that this medicine does poeb
lively possess such Controlling and regulating powert
Is simply to discredit tho voluntary tcs?aony ot
thousands of living witnesses who are to-day exult?
ing in their restoration to sound health and happiness.'

whose specialty was WOMAN, and whose fame fcc*
came enviable and boundless because of his wonder

plaints. THE REGULATOR is the GRANDEST

WOMAN'S BEST FRIEND;
Because it controls a class of functions the various
derangements of which causo more iii health than
ail other causes combined, and thus rescues her from
a long train of afflictions which sorely embitter ber
life, and prematurely end her existence.
Oh! what a multitude of living witnesses can te?
tify to its charming effects.
