By bard study, aided by a naturally fine t mind, betook two degrees, A. B. and A. M. the same day. The article on Primaries on our outside, is .good reading for voters. The petition gotten np for the pardon of J. D. Lynch, bas been refused by Gov? ernor Thompson. Many friends announce Capt. Marion San '. ders as candidate for Sheriff at the next elec two. As onr readers may not be aware of the j . f*4, we will inform them that it was hot, not warm, bat sizzling hot last week. The Wide Awakes of Sumter have been ! practising most persistently of late, and are . s?ll further developing their good qualities as a first class Fire Company. Mister Jerome, a soo of Mr. H. H. Wilson, j near Mayesville, accident:/ shot himself in ? the arm last Tuesday, and was so badly wounded that amputation was necessary. "We see from the Wilmington papers, that Sr. J. D. Sublett's New Brunswick Hotel ts j booming. Well, it ought to boom with its ' delightful surroundings and level headed " manager. Oar readers are hereby notified that Capt. D. J.

Chandler, Chaplain. The YigiUnj Fire Company, (colored,) of Columbia, S. C., accompanied by friends, will make a picnic excursion to Sumter Wednesday (to-morrow,) and a "big" time is expected. The "Wide Awakes" will chaperon the visitors. The funeral services over the remains of Mrs. W. F. B. Haynswortb, Sunday morn? ing were attended by on overwhelming con? gregation all the other churches having dis? pensed with morning service, and their congregations being present. Messrs. Ryttenberg & Sons have discarded kerosene oil, and their large store is lighted throughout with gas. The workman finished -atfrthe job of putting up the pipes and fixtures ' Saturday, and that night the building was j J brilliantly illuminated-. The firm is much J pleased with the change. * The Debating Club organized last Tuesday evening mast not be confounded with "Our" Otoh which has been in successful operation for some months. Matters both grave and gay have been discussed the past week, the series of debates being closed by an exhaus? tive discussion on predestination. Toe odor of coal tar, melted rubber, burn? ing bair, and such other loud-smelling com? pounds as went to make up the roof paint with which we were so liberally perfumed hist week, has grown some fainter, and we can draw iu a good Ioug breath of air with? out feeling like gas works. Mr. Barnett is preparing to fix np his store in apple pie order, and to that end has moved bis goods into the store next door North. He expects to put in an iron front, bring out the South corner in a line with the stores next below, remodel the inside, and make things new generally.

Willie Scaffe, Willie White and Isadore Sulzbacber, from Fort Mills; Roland Dozier from Greenville, and Len White from David? son are home on vacation from their 'respec? tive schools. The Glorious 4th. Next Friday week is the 4th, and as we are back in the Union, why can we uot have a celebration ? It is an idle time, and as we can do nothing else, we might as well have some fun. Closed. Miss J. Florence Hurst's school closed to? day. We are sorry that we did not have time to attend, for so thorough a teacher must have bad a pleasant conclusion to her year's work with the boys and girls. Ice Cream. The young ladies have promised a pleasant evening to those who visit Mason's Hall to? night. Prof. Baker will be present and give some fine musical selections with his cornet. The young ladies will also furnish music, and, what is better, plenty of cream and j cake. We don't mean to say their music is not divine and heavenly, but the cream is still more so. Smithville. The S. L. I. at their meeting last Tuesday evening decided by a unanimous vote to go to Smithville this Summer and fixed Monday night, July 14tb, as the date of departure. A committee consisting of Lieut. Cuttino, Corporal Brand and Private Walsh, were ap- j pointed to make all necessary arrangements j for the same. The rates of fare and board j will probably Se the same as last year. County Lodge, I. O. G. T. The County Lodge of Good Templars for' the Counties of Sumter and Clarendon will j meet in the Good Templars Hall on Wednes- j day the 25th instant, at 3 P. M. The following delegates will represent ! Sumter Lodge at that meeting: F. A Trade well, J. B. Roach, C. M. Hurst, Barlow ? Walsh, W. F. Rhame, W. II. Cuttino, W. M. Graham, C. M. Hurst, Jr., and Miss Sarah Scaffe Alternates, E. Scott Carson, R. S. Bradwell, Miss Florence Hurst, Miss E. J. Chandler. The meeting is of importance, and a full delegation is earnestly desired. " Crops. We saw a cotton stalk Saturday contain? ing a large number of squares, two blooms j and a boll. Maj J. W. Dargan showed us a boll and a bloom this morning and says he has lots more. A friend from Privateer gave us some in? teresting crop items last week. In his opio-, ion Mr. Josiah Haynswortb has the finest field of corn, Mr. Wallace Ramsey the best melon patch and Dr. Furman the most prom? ising cotton. He also mentioned Mr. Whit. Wells, Dr. Beckham and some others as hav? ing fine cotton. Mr. R. C. Wactor gives us encouraging news from his (Providence) neighborhood, as regards crops. Corn and cotton both look well, and the latter is especially fine. They Didn't Speak. The Candidates for Solicitor had a bad sell last Saturday. An invitation was extended them through the Enterprise to visit Man? ning, attend the meeting of the Convention that day, and speak before it. Well the day came and so did the candidatos, but no speeches were delivered. The Convention felt itself competent to chose its delegates without any outside help, and voted down the proposition to hear remarks from the gen? tlemen from Sumter and Williamsburg with singular unanimity. Now all. this might be ! very smart, but it was certainly not very polite. These gentlemen went to Mau ni og upon the invitation of some ene whom they thought had the right to give au invitation, and common courtesy would have dictated the propriety of giving each a few minutes time for talking to the people; and this would not have interfered with their Convention work. But it wad their Convention and uot ours. Some of thc young men of town, remem? bering bow the dance on last Thursday night was enjoyed, are talkiu?of having another uext Thursday. We spent a plesant evening at thc late Commencement of thc Columbia Female Col? lege. The reception was jus* as nice as i! could be. Rev. A. Coke Smith'.s address, de? livered during the day, was fine, aud thc young ladies were oh ! so sweet. Mr. C. T. Mason, Jr., has two new machi nistsat work in his shop. Work is carried j on there at high pressure speed in order to have the Harvesters ready for an early trial in the West. The Methodist Chureh Choir created a sen? sation Sunday night by adding a cornel player to its other musical attractions. Comments thus far are all favorable. The tones of the instrument blended most beauti? fully with those of the choir, adding to their volume and fulness, and enabling those at a distance from the choir to sing in as good time as if they had been near. OurBishopvillecorrespondent slipped up last week as to the composition of the Delegates, to the State Convention. Only three are from the town, while seven are from the County, though one of the seven has a place of business in town. Of the Alternates three j are from the County and two from town, so the "clucking rooster" did not get all the worms after all. Our Amateur s>. The "Social Glass" drew a large crowd at Manning last night. An accommodation train left Sumter about 7 o'clock in the even? ing, and carried about eighty of our folks, which, with the Manning friends, made np a crowded house. The play was well rendered, and the music was delightful. Prof. Baker, both on comet and violin, was superb. "The Mocking Bird," under his skilful hands took his hearers out from the crowded hal!, into the dewy woods, resonant with the blithe notes of feathered songsters. Some of the actors had a hard day's work in getting up the uecessary scenery and arranging thc de? tails, but they all came up to their parts fresh and bright. Nettie Nettleby, a3 usual, won much glory and smote the hearts of the Man? ning bachelors right and left. The scenery which had to be prepared especially for this occasion was the work of Mr. Joe Pbysioc, who acquitted himself hand? somely and gave the Amateurs first class scenery for their pla}'. The Sumter crowd got back home about one o'clock last night, tired, sleepy, and well satisfied with their trip. Pun. The skaters and dancers enjoyed the rink and themselves last Thursday evening very much. Mr. Physjoc turned a summersault on skates, as promised ; the potato race was extremely laughable, and after the skating was all over, the dancing commenced. It was one of the most pleasant occasions of the kind that the young folks have had. Tournament. The Firemen's Tournament at Columbia was a great success. The weather was propi? tious, the crowd tremendous, and the behav- j ior remarkably good. The temperature was a little high occasionally, but that also added to the success, at least so thought the venders of ice cream, soda water and other cooling articles. In addition to the Columbia Companies, Charleston, Georgetown, Florence, Darling? ton, Orangeburg, Newberry, Winnsboro, Gretnville, Charlotte N. C , and Augusta Ga. were represented. After the procession and opening address Wednesday morning by Mayor Rhett, the fun comraeuced. The Phoenix Hook and Ladder Co. of Columbia won the prize in the first contest; the Independent Fire Engine Co. of Columbia won the prize in the second ; and the Hope Fire Co. of Florence and the Inde? pendents of Columbia took 1st and 2nd prizes respectively, in the third. This closed the proceed ing's of the first day. On Thursday, work commenced promptly at 10 o'clock and the Hope, of Florence, scor? ed another victory, taking the first prize, and the Winnsboro boys the second, in the first contest. In the reel contest which came next, and had fifteen entries, the Winyahs ot Georgetown took the first prize, the JE^nas of Charleston second prize, and Independents of Columbia the third. In the sccoud reel contest, the Alerts of Aagusta, the ./Etnas of Charleston and Independents of Columbia were winners ; and in the third and last the j Newberry and Darlington Companies took j the prize3. The foot races came next ant5. Augusta carried off the honors of the first ! race. In the second race, Wiley McCain of the Young Americas (they borrowed himfrom Sumter) won the prize. The prizes were then presented by Mayor Rhett, after which the firemen returned to their rooms to get rid of the dust, mud and tights, and thc tournament was over. In looking over the splendid compaies from our sister towns, we could not but regret that Sumter too was not represented. Can we not work up a boom in the Fire Depart? ment. The Colored Company is all right, how about the White? [For the Watchman and Southron.] THE NEW ORLEANS EXPOSI? TION. Mr. Editor : I am authorized by Col. But? ler Commissioner of Agriculture to call a meeting of those persons (one to each town? ship) whom he has commissioned as agents of the Department of Agriculture to aid the State in her Exhibition at New Orleans next winter. The meeting when organized will elect a permauent chairman and such other officers as may seem proper, and choose an Executive Committee, composed of such mem? bers as are desirable. It is very important, j in order that the work for the Exhibition may proceed smoothly, pleasantly and suc? cessfully that such officers be selected as will j give the matter best attention, and will be acceptable to all the people of the County. Every one who feels any interest at all in this matter should try to bc present at the organization 60 that we may select such men as suit the work to be done and suit the peo? ple for whom they are to work. It will be too late after officers are chosen to rectify mistakes in thc selection. Thc importance of j the County making a creditable representa? tion of ber resources at this "Great World's Fair." cannot well be over estimated. There is not an acre of land that will not be en? hanced in value by showing to the world (for all the civilized, and a good part of the semi-civibzed world will be represented there) what varied and valuable products every one of our acres will produce. All of our products will find a better market when people begin to recognize in a practical way (buying and renting) the value of our lands, j Our County pride, if no other motive moved us, should make us resolute not to be behind our sister Counties in a matter like this of State Concern-appealing to our patriotism as it does in every way. I therefore shall certainly expect to see a latge turnout of citfzens on Saleday in July, (7th day) and an especially large crowd of our planters, to whom this matter comes nearer home than to any other class. We must make a lonp pull, a strong pull and a pull altogether in this great enterprise, and a most abundant reward will follow our labors, I am sure. J. J. DARGAN. [For the Watchman and Southron.] Thc Statcburg Club. STATEB?RG, S. C., JLNE 10, 183t. Mr. Editor : As the Convention declared the questions raised in the County as to the appointments to bc "dead issues," Wc thought it as well to iffy nothing more, but to show by our voles our hearty disapproval of any snch practices, when thc time comes; and we must say that in our opinion, a quiet and friendly discussion and czj>lunalion would have done more to dispel dissatisfaction and restore confidence, than any amount of smothering can ever do ; and the longer be? fore the election, it seems to us, the better. 1 write to correct a statement I see iii your last issue by "Satisfied," : s to the resolutions passed by a majority of the active members of our Club, ou 10th May. being rescinded. Some member must have unintentionally misinformed him, as the facts are that the "large majori ty ""of one decided lo receive the petition sent by themselves, when ihe club adjourned. Nothing could be done about thc resolutions, as it would require a two-thirds vote to rescind, il it could be done at all, and all of the members present on 10th of J May as heartily endorse now as then, thc res? olutions they passed, and cannot think, that a calling to account of public servants and asking politely for an explanation, shows a disposition to "stir up strife" by injecting "dead issues" into the campaign, but inno? cently thought that any agent, conscious of his own rectitude, would yladl? seize the op? portunity to set himself right in the eyes of ? even a /eu volets ? As we were mistaken though, and find that an endorsement of civil service rules, popular elsewhere in the State, causes retelling in Sumter County, we must perforce bow to the opposite as being backed by the majority, only wishing it known that we endorse civil service. At the same time we are willing to do our brother members from the swamp justice by telling that they do not agree with us, but warmly endorse the Senajor from Sumter. I agree with "Satis? fied" that Sumter will appear as thinking the past course of our delegates right on this "dead issue (?)'' question, but from our standpoint we can see nothing in this to bc proud of. One thing more, please publish a letter from Buffalo, 2s*. V., to the JVeics and Courier of 16th June, headed "Cleveland's Rising Star," and signed "Quandara Civis." Though the stage is rather small and the actors minimized, almost infinitesimally, it might be healthy reading for some of your subscribers and can hurt few, and perhaps, none. I forgot to say that the secretary of our club sent a report of the last meeting to the Spirit of the Times, the paper in which the arraignment of those '-'individuals" appear? ed, but for some reason.no doubt a good one, it did not appear. With many apolo? gies for bringing our modest little communi? ty forward ngain, as all must acknowledge that we are generally very quiet, the bray of the "office-seeker" never being heard, I con? clude. W. Bishopville Letter. BISHOPVILLE, S. C., JUNK 20, 1884. Mr. Editor : Please allow me to correct the statement in my communication of the 11th instant ; that the County Convention of the second instant had entirely ignored the right of the Country to representation in the State Convention, by not electing any countryman as a delegate to the same. I wns certainly under that impression at the time, but have since learned that at least three of the dele? gates chosen are from the country, and not from any of the towns in the county. With this assurance, I still thiak, and contend that the question involved is the same, and am utterly unable to see the justice or equity in selecting a majority of the delegates to a nominating convention from any town in the county to the entire exclusion of at least three fourths of the territory, population, tax j payers, and last but not least voters of Sum? ter County. L. -- Wi f - [For the Watchman and Southron.! Another Charmic g Occasion. MAGNOLIA, S. C., June 20, 1884. Mr. Editor : Io your issue of May 20th, we read a description of "A charming occa? sion" spent on the 7th, at "Rytteobergs' fair domain yesterday, we had the felicity of passing a delightful evening at the same place, and under we think as happy auspices, and since the projectors of the soiree were the same gentlemen of elegant taste and manners, (Messrs Fried and Rothschild,) and the com? pany very nearly the same, with some added beauties, we dare venture the assertion, that the author of "a charming occasion" will endorse our opinion, when we say, that Messrs. Fried and Rothschild have added new laurels to their already acquired fame as superb artists aud admirable hosts. Thc grounds were illuminated with Chinese lan? terns, making a brilliant avenue to a newly erected building from whence flashed through doors of laticed work the bright light of lamps and chandeliers. Within might be again heard to the accompaniment of the organ's swelling music, the deep, impassioned tones of Prof. Corbett's "courtly son," or else the tender thrilling cadences of a single female voice-a voice which so lately graced and beautified "Commencement Day" at the Sumter Institute. Beautiful wreaths and hanging festoons of cedar and of forest flowers adorned the walls, the handiwork of some of Sumter's fairer flowers. Thc groiip of ladies and gentlemen who graced this woodland palace, your former correspondent must ad? mit, as "'resplendent" as they did shine upon "a charming occasion," had added glories now. For each stood in full ball custome, .end it is not true, that "beauty unadorned, is adorned the most." As we looked upon the gay and spirited scene, we recalled at once, John Keat's expressive lines, "At length burst in the argent revelry, With plume, tiara, and all rich array, Humorous ns shadows haunting (airily The brain, newstuifd in youth with triumphs Ot old romance." Aud again as we looked, methought we saw many a "thoughtful Madeline" in that fair scene, with "maiden eyes divine;" many, who "seem'd a splendid angel, newly drest, save wings, for heaven:"-and "many a tip toe, amorous cavalier." Although we are hastening fust inio thc sere and yellow leaf, until grey dawn did we stand transfixed. It was a scene "to make an old man young." And although I fear, that I cannot if I try attain to the pitch of feeling which infused your last writer, yet, I would here express ray gratitude to Messrs. Fried and Rothschild for some beatific hours, and without any allu? sion to Russia, whatsoever, I would simply say, that any community would gladly deem those gentlemen as rare acquisitions. Very respectfully, x. y. z. The Greenville Mountaineer is growing ven? erable witii years and usefulness. Its last week's issue coutaincd the following : Last week we began volume sixty of this Journal. It is next to the oldest in South Carolina, aud now has a larger circulation than it has ever before enjoyed, insides a more valuable advertising patronage. It is also a larger sheet and more popular now than ever before in its long and eventful his? tory. The paper is only about thirty-three years the junior of the Constitution and Gov? ernment of the United States. Its existence, as an institution, antedates, we believe, all of the institutions of Greenville excepting the town itself and the Baptist and Methodist Churches. It is our purpose to improve it, and make it more fully a representative of the intelligence, progress and development of Greenville County and of the up-country. Go to D. J.

On Friday night at half past one o'clock, the soul of Mrs. .Mary L., wife of \V. F. B. Haynsworth, Esq., of this town, went ont in obedience to the call of God. For several months she has been prostrated upon a bed of suffering, struggling nature seeking to bear up against the incoming tide of death. All that loving care on the part of her relatives, and laithful attendance on the part of her physician could do availed no more than to spin out the thread of life a little longer. The voice at midnight came that caught and arrested her listening ear, and, in wili?njr response, she joined in thc mighty caravan moving on to eternity. Her departure hence wa3 mar ked by no unwil? lingness. Knowing on whom her hope was fixed, having trusted Him in life, she did not fear to commit herself to Him in death, and so she "fell on sleep." In all her sickness, as forsooth in all her life, she was patient and uncomplaining. She repeatedly told the watchers by her bed that she would not seek to ciioose her time ; but left all in the hands of God. God accepted the trust, and took her hence us easily as dies a sleeping babe whose breath is kissed away by the angels. Mrs. Haynsworth13 character was too wei! known to be commended now. She has left her impress upon her family, and upon the circle in which she moved. In her Church she was a light whose brightuess never grew dim. To the poor she was father and moth? er, and wherever human want clamored for human charity, she was a willing servant. Such gentleness, meekness, patience and god? liness are not often blended in one person, and now that she is gone hence, one can but rejoice to have known her and to have bad the fellowship and benediction of her presence. To live and die as she has done, magnifies the grace of God and commends to all man? kind obedience to His service. Such a lite speaks louder than the voice of miracle or prophecy, and one seems to hear again the cry of the martyr of olden time, "Come see how a Christian can die." And it is a ??leas? ing thought to recall the fact that 3ueh lives perpetuate themselves, and are immortal in their influence. Long after the flower is crushed, the holy fragrance arises, and one is constrained to feel that really to the pure and holy there is no death. So "death is swallowed up in victory." Earth presents not a spectacle of equal gran dure to that ot a Christian who has power to wrest the dart of the king of 4errors from his hand on the very confines of an eternal world. His calm but lofty tone is the lan? guage of the conqueror, though in the midst of infirmity, death and judgment. It is like the half hour before sunset-in the midst of nature's grandest and most majestic ?cenery -when there is not a breath to agitate the frailest leaf, or ripple the glassy smoothness of the water's surface-it is the sublime of tranquility.
