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

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?

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.

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.

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,

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.

MRS. MARY L. HAYNSWORTH.
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. A FRIEND.
