The Debating Club bas been considering

subject of eggs and unanimously agreed that
they were not only very nutritious but also
very palatable.

account that it can out-smell anything on
She earth, under the earth, or in the heavens
above toe earth. The proprieters say it is
good for nervousness, and will cure any case
in 48 boors. Well, may be so ; cure or kill,
but most possibly kill. If our readers find
any aromatic odors about their papers this

two more weeks remain to make their guesses.
All who have paid to 1st January are enti?

July 1885 can have two. Somebody will get
a fine machine and why not you ?
Artistic.
We ?re in receipt of an interesting, origi?
nal contribution, called the "Democratic
Ghost/' It is represented by a quadruped
with a human bead, but most beastly body,
the fore feet bare aod the hind feet shod with
boots, and standing oa a platform of four
planks. The first plank demands the plat?
form of 1876, the second calls for Tariff for
revenue, the third for pensions for Mexican
soldiers and the fourth advocates the annex?
ation of Cuba and Mexico.
As our artist is absent we regret that we
cannot get up a cut of that beautiful
"ghost." , ?
DeLorme's Baum De Vie.
We have received from our old friend, Mr.
Charles DeLonne some samples of his valua?
ble medicine, Baum DeVte. Mr De Lor me bas
made up a considerable quantity which may
be found at the drug store of Dr. J. F. W.
DeLorme. Baum DeVie is undoubtedly a
good medicine. The Proprieter has certifi?
cates dating back 100 years, testifying to its
medical properties ; and its sale being his
only means of support, those who purchase
will be doing a good thing not only for
themselves, but also for one of our oldest
citizens.. The medicine is a reliable antidote

Deaths.
On Thursday, 12th instant an infant child
of Rev and Mrs. T. A. Porter of Sum ter.
On Sunday the 15th, Mrs. Cnttino widow
of the late Mr. Thos. P Cuttino, of Clarendon
County. She leaves sis orphaned children,
alone in the world.
Died, in Atlanta, Ga., on the morning of
Jone 9th, after a very severe illness of over
seven weeks, Harry Fletcher, youngest child
of John C. and Ida H. Glenn, and grand?
child of Thomas D. Frierson, formerly of
Sumter, aged two years, two months and 19
days.
Died at the parsonage, near Bethel Church,
ll o'clock Saturday night 14th instant, Rev.
Samuel J. Hill, pastor of the Sumter Circuit
of the M. E. Church South, after an illness of
about three weeks.
His funeral was conducted ?a the presence
of a very Urge audience at Bethel Church, by
Rev. H. F. Chrietzberg, of Sumter Station,
on Monday, the 16th at 10 A. M., and his
body buried at Rembert's Church.
The Palpit and Chancel were appropriately
draped in mourning. Touching tributes of j
j affection and esteem in floral offerings, were j
j piled upon the coffin, as it rested in the Chan- j
j eel, by members of the flock, and the deep j
j sorrow of the people.was expressed by audi
I ble sobs and tear-dimmed eyes, for all felt
t they had lost a rained friend and a faithful
leader. Mr. Hill has been a minister of the
Gospel for 29 years, and in all that time, his
influence for good has been large and con?
stant. The light of bis Christian life, shone
I as steadily as a beacon star, guiding his fel
! low man to the higher plane of Christianity
opon which be dwelt. We deeply sympathise
with his family in their great bereavement.
j He leaves a wife and eight children to j
j j
mourn their loss.
We copy from the Greenville (3fiss.) Times, j
the following notice of the death of the broth- j
er of oor townsman, Mr J. D. Craig.
Died, June 2nd, at his residence on Bayou j
Granicus in Washington county, Miss., Fran- ;
! eis Jerome Craig, aged 57 years, of conges- j
? tion of the brain.
j Mr. Craig leaves to mourn his loss a cling?
ing: and affectionate wife and infant son, be?
sides bis niece and nephew, who looked to j
him as to a father. He was a native of South j
Carolina, having moved to this State about,'
27 years ago. By close attention to busiuess, j
and great indnstry, coupled with frugality, I
he accumulated a handsome fortune, in spile I
of heavy losses occasioned by the war, which !
? will suffice to maintain his family,
j Mr. Craig was a worthy citizen, a good !
j neighbor, a kind and indulgent husband, and j
! a fast friend. As a mark of public conn*- j
! dence, be was chosen by his district to a po- j
I sition on the Board of Supervisors, which ]
! station be filled with credit during the years i
I 1882-3. During the later years of his life his !
! mind was much occupied with thoughts con- j
J cerning his future state and his obligations j
j to his Heavenly Father. To that Father we ?
j commend bis bereaved widow and child, and j
I grieved kindred for comfort and consolation, j
The Post Office Again. j
Some days ago we received a letter signed !
by the employees of the Post Office, which !
j was intended to be an answer to our stric- j
i turcs upon thc want of accommodation at ?
! that office. It was really no answer at all, j
! and as we do not care to publish personal I
! abuse about others, we see no occasion to i
i I
I publish it about ourselves, and respectfully ;
j declined the letter, but will, at any time, be |
! glad to publish any communication pertinent i
! to the charges we have made. We stated a i
I . !
? simple fact, and if our information is incor- j
i rect, il is easy for the Post Office authorities i
' j
I to say so. If it ti correct, and the Office is
j disposed to ignore the principles of accommo
I dation, which wo believe should be a prorai- j
j nent characteristic in the management of all ;
i public institutions, and especially Post Of- !
fices, then let them acknowledge that fact, !
j aud defend it by bringing red tape the front.
! Abuse of the newspaper thal made the charge
is no answer, and it seems that the employees
ought to know that simple fact.
And now for another charge. Last Tues
! day, at least seven minutes before five, our
messenger fonnd the Office locked, and al?
though the employees were inside they re?
fused to take in our mail. The messenger
was sent back, and the assistant informed
him that the Office was locked and he did not
have the key. We got the time from the jew?
elers in ?own who assert that they have and
I keep standard time, and we believe they are
correct. The Post Office in Sumter runs
upon strictly red tape principles, home-made
ones at that, all based upon the regularity of
a clock that is extremely whimsical in its re?
gard to correct time. Neither Washington j
I time or Washington instructions ure respon- ?
sible for these regular irregularities of the
Sumter Post Office
Oor readers will find a communicaiion in
another column on "The Convention Plan,"
and the following from the Newt and Courier
may explain Maj. Moise's position io the
matter :
Primaries in Sumter.
To the Editor of The Neics and Courier : I
see that my views expressed in a private let?
ter to F. P. Beard, of the Kershaw Gazette,
on the subject of primary elections, have been
published in your paper.
As I may be misunderstood, I desire to say
that thc dissatisfaction which resulted from
the action of the Convention in this county,
iu 1882. was not so much caused by the de- j
tail of such action, ns by the fact that a num.- |
ber of the local clubs desired the question of
nomination of candidates to be referred to a !
primary election, which was not done.
Respectfully, MARJON MOISE.
The Social Glass.
The Sumter Amateurs in the above play,
which was exhibited in Sumter with such
success some weeks ago, have concluded to
have an exhibition in Manning, next Monday, j
the 23rd instant.
Our Manning friends have a pleasant treat
j in store for them. The plot of the drama is
j good, the moral is belier and the rendition is
j best of all. The company was highly com
j plimentcd by the audience iu Sumter and is
really worthy of praise.
I Bob Brittle will make you laugh despite
! the hard time?, but we can't go into details,
j and close with the hope that everybody in
I Clarendon will turn out next Monday night
I to see the Social Glass by the Sumter Ama
I tear Club.
The fare from Sumter to Manning will be
65 cents for thc round trip. Arrangements j
have been made by Dr. Auld for board at the j
rate of $ 1 per day. Those who contemplate I
going would do well to see the Doctor about ?
it._

The Sumter Institute.
This popular Institution celebrated its
Fourteenth Commencement last week.
Monda}-and Tuesday were spent in exam?
inations, a report of which is found below.
During the examination, the committee gave
a number of young ladies subjects upon which
to write a composition, a half hour being
allowed fur the same. The result was most
satisfactory ; the chirography, spelling,
punctuation, and composition were all unus?
ually correct, and while ii looks invidious to
mention one where all were good, we must
say that the paper submitted by Miss Lucy
Walsh was as fine as any we have ever seen
written under such circumstances. The
tedium of the examinations was enlivened by
the occasional rendering ot choice music by
the pupils ; Miss Nina Graham also gave the
Committee a treat by her fine rendering of a
beautiful recitation.
Wednesday eveuing the rooms were filled
to their utmost capacity by an eager crowd
to wituess the closing exercises.
The following was the

munds.

Duo for Piano and Organ.-(Blumenthal.) |
"Way down upon the Swannee Uiver."- j
(By Request)-Mis3 Maggie Myers.
Miss Lucy Walsh's Salutatory was read by j
its author, and our only criticism is that she |
spoke too low to reach the rear of the closely ?
packed rooms. Being near the front we j
could bear all, and admire its neatly rounded j
sentences and well-expressed thoughts.
Dr. Brackett's address on The Cultivation j
of the Mind, was a gem. Logical, witty,
practical, and expressed in language so per- j
fectly beautiful, it charmed every ear and
gave every mind new iaeas to carry away and j
digest in the quiet of home.
Miss Virginia Ingram read the Valedicto?
ry. Her intonation was good, and the com- j
position showed a high order of talent. Any
Institution should be proud of such ability as I
is shownd)y the fair writer.
The closing song by Miss Maggie Myers, j
"Way down upon the Swannee River" was j
beautiful. We ought to be ashamed to ac- !
i
knowledge it, but it is a fact nevertheless that j
we enjoyed the melody of that simple little j
song iufinetely more than all the splendid, j
complicated music that preceded it. Of \
course it was all good, but we did not have i
enough music in our souls to appreciate !
opera, but we did appreciate the ballad, and j
for the life of us could not tell which was the ?
sweeter, the clear bell like notes and soit j
cadences of the song, or the beautiful girl j
who stood before us.
The following young ladies received diplo- j
mas :
Miss Anna Blackwell ; Miss Rebecca Dian-!
ding; Miss Pauline Dick ; Miss Hattie Fraser ; !
Miss Nina Graham; Miss Mamie Hudson;;
Miss Virginia Ingram ; Miss Annie Jennings ;
Miss Madge McLaurin ; Miss Maggie Myers;!
Miss Lucy Walsh ; Miss Lillie Wilson ; Miss !
Sue Wilson.
The number of graduates was so large thal I
the usual reading of the graduating composi?
tions was dispensed with.
REPORT OK THE BOARD OK EXAMINERS KOR THE !
YEAR 1884.
The Committee who was requested to at- j
tend the examinations at the close of the |
collegiate year, 1884, were deeply impressed j
with the fairness and thoroughness with which ?
these exercises were conducted, evincing the |
most faithful and honest work on the part of
Teacher and Pupils.
We feel that especial mention should be
made of the very prompt and accurate recita- j
tion in Algebra, and Geometry. The young j
ladies also exhibited a familiarity with Logic I
and Butler's Analogy winch we have never j
before witnessed in asimilar institution. The j
Principal, who conducted the recitations in j
Mental and Moral Philosophy withotit a text
book, exhibited a mastery of these profound
studies which satisfied the committee ihat the
pupils are thoroughly drilled in the art of
thinking.
The paintings and drawings which adorn
the walls of the lustitnte will compare favor- j
ably with any that we have seen elsewhere in ?
more celebrated institutions of learning. I
There are probably few which have a more
gifted teacher.
Thc pupils in music have done great credit j
to their accomplished and painstaking in- j
streeters.
The Calisthenic exercises, which drew a
large audience deserve all thc cnthuiastic
applause which they received.
We would desire to call the attention of
your patrons abroad, to the attractive sur- j
roundings of the institution, the healthfulness I
of the climate and the praiseworthy determi- j
nation of the Principal io keep abreast of the
age in all the arts and appliances of teaching.

Meeting at Harvin's.
Hon. John Peter Richardson, State Treas?
urer, as was advertised, spoke at a meeting
of the Democratic duh at Harvin's last Satur?
day. The wernher was so threatening that
the crowd was small, though Hogan's Hall,
where the meeting was held, was comfortably j
filied. The gifted orator gave his audience a
brief resume of the government while under j
radical rule, and contrasted it with Demo?
cratic reform. He gave (acts and figures to |
prove all his assertions, and showed thc j
great gain made by thc State in ridding her?
self of Republicanism. Il is speech was lis?
tened to with the greatest attention, and j
aroused the enthusiasm of bis hearers to liver !
I
heat. Quite a number of colored people were j
in the crowd, and as it w:is raining very hard
they could not get away, and so were com- j
pel led to listen to some healthy Democratic ?
doctrine, which it i? hoped will bring forth J
good fruit. Messrs. Beard and Moise, cindi- j
dates for Solicitor, each made speeches to the j
club, which adjourned late in the afternoon, j
Go to D. J. Au Id's for the best Soda j

Mason's New Cotton Gm.
Mr. C. T. Mason, Jr., has got hts trial
gin, (made upon his new principle,) suffi?
ciently advanced to make a test of i?. ;:nd he
informs us that, so far as rapidity and per?
fection in taking the lint from the seed is con?
cerned, it does all he expected. When he
perfects some improvements for liberating the
cleaned seed from the roll, upon which he is
now at work, he anticipates having a gin
I that will fast take the place of the rib and
saw gin with their murderous habits. We
expect to announce its completion at an early
day, and farmers will find Mason's Gin a
revolution second only in importance to his
Harvester.
We advertised a short time ago for seed
cotton to be used in testing his gin, and our
little "Ad" brought in an abundance of the
fleecy staple. So much for printer's ink-of
the right kind.
Neighboring Counties.
Florence Times : Mr. F. IT. Hud?
son ba?: moved into his new resi?
dence, which is the finest in Florence.
The house has ten rooms, with all the
latest improvements for comfort and
convenience, and is certainly a hand?
some oro an; ont to the town. -Some
of the papers in this State are advising
the enactment of a marriage liceuse
law. Conscience alive, there are
enough obstacles in the way of matri?
mony now, without making special
legislation on thc subject.-Now
that the subject of temperance is taking
such a strong hold upon the public
mind and as there is a flourishing lodge
of the Good Templars in our midst, we
i think that the lodge here should induce
Mrs. Chapin to visit Florence and give
a series of lectures. Almost every j
town in the State has had the pleasure i
of hearing this talented and Christian'
! iady speak, and why not Florence ? We |
I would be glad to know of any action j
. looking to this end being taken by the :
I lodge or parties interested.
Darlington Kcics : When completed i
thc Clerk's office will compare with any '
in the State.-The Town Council
have passed a resolution enforcing the .
ordinance against selling liquor on Sun- ?
day, and gambling at any time. They
intend to enforce the law. -The
Treasurer has closed his books for the
May collection of taxes. He reports a
total collection of ?4,671.02. This is
over $1,000 less than thc collection for
the previous May. -The members
of the fishing party returned from ?
Pee Dee on Saturday, by way of steam?
er, landing at Cashau Ferry. After
diligent search for a week, nojtracewas
found of Capt. J. Hamilton Warley. :

McKay White, early last Saturday j
morning, was made the happy father of j
a boy that weighed just fourteen pounds; i.
and later in the day he received notice j .
that-the patent on his cotton chopper I
had been allowed. Mr. White felt two i
inches taller all day. -The Good
Templars propose having a good time
to-morrow night. After the close of
the meeting, they will have refresh ments,
and Uncle Wade has also promised |
to give the Lodge his experience while ! i
a subject of Demon Alcohol. The i
lodge is in a very prosperous condition j
and is doing a noble work.
Camden Journal : We regret to
learn that Mr. W. F. Reed, living near
Swift Creek below Camden, was so un?
fortunate as to lose his barn and stables
by fire on last Thursday afternoon.
The fire is thought to have been of
accidental origin. Mr. Heed has just
finished filling up the barn with oats.
-We have heard recently of many
cases of blind staggers among the
horses of this county, and several
have died. Damaged corn brought,
from the West is thought .to be the
cause of thc trouble. Moral, raise ?
your owu corn at home, and stop buy?
ing Western corn. -Tn our issue
of last week appeared a short article
upon gambling, aud what a farcical
attempt at punishing the gamblers had
been made at the recent term of court
held in Camden, it met with the com?
mendation of all the decent and law
abiding people of the county, and the
only harsh criticisms passed upon it
came from the gamblers themselves.
-The trial of Mr. A. H. Perry for
the killing of Mr. C. J. MeDowall,
was commcuced in Camden on last
Wednesday and lasted until Friday
evening, when the jury, after an ab
of about thirty minutes, returned a ver?
dict of not guilty. The case was very
hotly contested by bor h the State and
the defense. Gen. Kennedy assisted
the Solicitor, and Messrs. Trantham
and Abuey appeared for Mr. Perry.
Kershaw Gazette: A Camden man
compels his daughter to eat onions every
night for supper, and thus assures him?
self that he can shut thc house at

stand that the Democratic Executive

about ?100 in cash, with which to
j open the campaign. This is something
quite unusual, and evidences good j
financiering and ability on the part of j

LINKS WRITTEN IN MEMORY OF
MRS. LYDIA M. SMITH,
I Who D?portai this- Life (he Sixth of A ?nil,
in thc Eyly-Niiitli Year of Her Aye.
A light is from our household gone,
A voice we loved so well ;
A place is vacant at our hearth,
Which never can Le filled ;
A tender heart that throbbed, but now
With tenderness and love,
Has hushed its weary throbbing here,
To throb in bliss above.
I do not see thee now, dear Mother,
1 do not see thee now ;
Hut ever when the twilight breeze
Steals o'er my lifted brow,
I hear thy voice upon my ear,
In murmurs low and soft ;
Aod though we meet on earth no more,
In heaven we'li meet again,
Where earthly ills and pangs are o'er,
Aud loved ones meet to part no more.

ralgia, Rheumatism, Bronchitis, and other
chronic diseases-some of a most painful and
desperate character-have been cured in the
last thirteen years by Compound Oxygen. If
you are a sufferer from any disease which
your physician has failed to relieve, don't
despair. Write to Drs. Starkey & Palen,
1103 Girard Street, giving them a clear state?
ment of your case, and ask an opinion as lo
your chances of recovery under their new
Vitalizing Treatment. 7/ will cost you noth?
ing; as (hey make no charge for consultation.
Accompanying their reply you will receive
such documentary evidence of their honora?
ble character as physicians, and such direct
and emphatic testimony in regard to what
Compound Oxygen has done and is doing for
suffering humanity, that you will be able io
decide for yourself the question whether or
not to put faith in them and the new remedy
which they are so widely dispensing.
If, however, you do not wish to consult
them at present, drop a postal-card and ask
them to send you their Treatise on Compound
Oxygen. From this you will gain all the in?
formation required to get an intelligent idea
of the nature and action of this new remedy
for chronic diseases, and so be able to judge
for yourself whether or not it will be benefi?
cial in your own case, as it has been in thou?
sands of others.
Kendall's Spavin Cure.

Dr. B. J. Kendall Co. :-In using your
Kendall's Spavin Cure I wish to say it is the
best lioiment I ever used on horses or cattle
to remove enlargements and swellings. I
also have one of your Treatise on the Horse
which I have read through and through, and
consider it a good book for the price. Yours
very truly. V. M. CONNELLY.
