Brown left yesterday morning for Hot Springs, Arkansas, where be will remain during July. Miss Florida M. Grier, who has been visl-t ing friends in Georgetown County bas re? turned borne to Sumter. We had a pleasant baud shake with Squire Keels of Shiloh, who seems to grow young with revolving years. Mr. B. P. Cuttino, of Beaufort, has been quite ill, but we understand that he is recov? ering. Mrs. W. B. Peebles and her sister, Miss \ Minnie Hart, left Sumter this morning on a trip to the upper part of the State. They expect to be absent several months. ?'' Messrs. Shirley Hughson, Willie Hayns? vorth, Vietor Pringle, Robbie Ed mu Dds and C. A. Spencer, are home from the S. C. College. Mr. J. 0. Wilder ls a candidate for School Commissioner. He bas made an acceptable official in the past. X Mr. Chas. H. Jones, (everybody knows Charley Jones) is before the County to-day as candidate for County Commissioner. Mr. Jones, if elected will make a good officer. Mr. Elwyn C. Rogers is likewise a candi? date. The School Commissioner's office is bis objective point. His scholarly training will doubtless enable him to make an efficient officer, should he be elected. Miss Ella Lockhardt, of Vaiden, Miss., . wt o has been spending some time with Col. Blinding's family left this morning for the upper part of the State to visit friends She vtay give Sunter a short call before she leaves . for home. Capt. Auld does not admit the soft im? peachment contained in onr uotice of his can? didacy, that be sells "pison." We take it all ! bark, but still think be would make a good i Coroner, even though he does not help kill J the victims. There will be preaching at the Baptist Church next Sunday morning by Rev. Mr. -Carpenter of Maysville. Our readers will see from his "Ad" that Mr.. Suizbacher is thinking of leaving Sumter. ! In the meantime, he has a fine assort ma nt of j goods which he is selling at cost. Mr. Ricard J. Morns, of Charleston, has had a big job of tinning to do. He has cov? ered the stores of Messrs. Bogin, Mason and Boyts, with neatness and despatch. . Mr. Lowrance in consideration of the very hot weather and having in mind the on /en- j ience of his customers has aranged to deliver j bis ice cream at their residences. Remember ] that his cream is an unfailiug panacea for hot j ?weather. | Sumter County was, especially favored in j the Slate Conven don-tone delegate to Chica- j go, the first alternate to the delegates at ; large, one Presidential elector and one mern- ! ber of the State Executive Committee-that j avery good indeed. . The roof painters are on the rampage again, j Saturday they commenced work on the roof j of Boltman, k Bros. store which is just by our window. We have not the least doubt it is water proof, for it smells too badly for water ever to make a second attempt at going through. Rain wa3 plentiful last week, most too plentiful we fear, and vegetation is rampaut. Deep plowing now, will prove disastrous to crops, and great care will be needed in pre? venting injury to com not laid bv. v A number of younjr folkg went to Caiu Savannah Mill, last Friday afternoon, to enjoy a basket picnic, and, incidentally, the fishing, flirting, love-making, kc, which go to make np a successful occasion of the kind. The fishing was a Sat failure, but the other j - matters progressed very nicely indeed. Ocr Debating Club indulged io metaphysi? cal discussions to some extent last week ; it ! came down to practical life, however, in dis- j cussing the profits of farming. It was satis- j factorily proven that agriculture paid a larger j dividend than most of other occupations, aud I that failures generally resulted from laziness or inexperience. The Sumter Light Infantry will go toi Smithville July 14 for a week's holiday. The S. L. I. have probably never heard of ! Mouitrieville and the New Brighton.-News and Courier. TbeS. L. L have heard of those places in j a misty, uncertain sort of way. They know j of Smithville and the Hotel Brunswick aud j the Steamer Passport, because they are all advertised in the Sumter papers. The New j Brighton may be a fact, but we in Sumter j have had no official information about it. __ Excursion to Smithville, N. C. The Sumter Lijrht Infantry ?nd friends will j leave Sumter at 12 o'clock on the night of j the 14th instant for Smithville, N. C. Friends j of the company can get Railroad and Steamer j tickets, good for 30 days, to Smithville and return for $5.50, from Capt. D. J. Auld. Board and lodging with the Company eau be had for 5-0 cents per day. Town Improvements. Mr. J. Coben Wilson has taken out the old j front of oue of bis Liberty Street stores, and j is putting io a nico front, which makes the Store look much more stylish. " The fear wall of Mr. A. A. Solomons' store was badly cracked by the ?re on Liberty Street last Fall. He bas taken it out, and al3o a portion of the adjoining sides, for the parp?te of building it anew. He intends building a brick extension fox groceries at the 4478. The agony is over and the Guessing Hot tie Sewing Machine is won. Messrs. D. J. Auld and G. P. McKagen kindly served as a counting committee and gave the following as the result of their tabor ; Corn.H04 Peas.'-?633 Water melon.96 Mustard. Total.4478 Messrs. Ducker & Buttman guessed 44S3, which came within five of the correct number, aud wins the machine. Mr. H. G. Scarbor? ough guessed 4466, and missed it twelve; Mr. B. A. Hussey guessed 4500, missing 22. So near, and yet so far. Married. On June 25th, by Rev. John 0. Wilson, J. D. Alsbrook, Esq., and_Mh>s E. C. Nettles, both of Manning. Death. Dr. J. B. Witherspoon. Died at Manning, Tuesday thc 24th instant, Dr. J. B. Witherspoon, in the 35th year of bis age. He spent the most of his long and useful life in Sumter, where bc was known and respected of al! men. "Xo combination in the mind of man forms * more certain foundation for useful virtue than that of piety and patriotism." The Scottish-Irish settlers of America have been remarkable for their pure piety, and splendid patriotism. From these people came John Benoni Witherspoon. He was boro in Columbia, S. C., at the place where the "Theological Semi? nary" was afterward built. His father, Hon. Robert Witherspoon, was at that time Secre? tary of State under Gov. John Drayton. He was also a member of Congress. "Cold? stream," bis dwelling place, was a happy home, where honour and hospitality guarded the inner, and outer gates. Dr. Wither? spoon's mother was a daughter of the "Rebel Raider," Major John James, and a sister of Judge W. D. Jame3. Dr. Witherspoon was graduated from S. C. College in 182Q, and is the last of a large ?lass, more than one of whom made lifo truly worth living. Prominent amongst these were Hon. T. J. Goodwyn, the war-Mayor of Columbia, Hon. Richard Yeadon of Charleston, and Hon. Dixon H. Lewis who magnanimously gave up his life that others might be saved. From such an ancestry, with such comrades, he began bis career of humble usefulness, and unflinching courage. Quietly he followed his chosen vocation. Without ostentation he dealt bis daily charities. When placed in honorable position by his countrymen, he faithfully performed the duties of his office. His was an "uniform, zealous, ardent, and uncalculating devotee to the Union," which bis illustrious ancestors had fought for, estab? lished, and helped to make so free and fair. Many will long remember his tender care of children, his great respect for age, and his j universal kiudness to the poor. Ile died at the home, and in the arms of his adopted daughter Mrs. Mary James McDowell, who faithfully tended, and tenderly loved her kinsman, friend, and father. Bad Hoads. A gentleman living some miles from town, was grumbling hugely last week because o! j bad roads. Ile says that the road on which j he lives has bad no work on it fer fifteen j months, and he is in favor of doiug away j with the entire Board of County Commission- j ers as a useless iucumbrance ; and sighs for j the good old days when Road Commissioners ? kept the roads well worked for $12 a year j We fear onr friend would be mistaken m j trying the old plan. It would not work as j well as it did in ante bellum days. County j Commissioners are very necessary, in fact are j among the most important of County officials, : though the roads are certainly in a wretched j condition in places. Whose fault is it? Since writing the above, another complaint i has reached us about thc Green Swamp road, i It is very bad, and a broken buggy, or, may- i hap, a broken neck may result from leaving j it in its present condition. Colored Excursion. Last Wednesday, the Vigilant Fire Engine j Company of Columbia, with a large number j of friends, came over to Sumter on an early j train, and spent the day in Sumter. The I visitors under the guidance of the S?tuter j Wide Awakes first marched to the Court j House Square, where Intendant Moise made j them a pleasant"welcome speech, after which the crowd dispersed. There was a base ball I match during the day in which Sumter was] victorious, and later in the afternoon, the j Wide Awakes brought out their engine for a j contest with the Vigilants. The Sumter Company led off, running 200 ! yards to the well, coupling on 50 feet of hose and throwing a stream of water in 52 seconds. The record frightened the Vigilants, who saw defeat staring them in the face and thev de? clined running. Sumter has every reasf- to be proud of the Wide Awakes. The Columbians left late in the afternoon, having apparently spent a pleasant day. Plenty of liquor was afloat in the crowd, and a variety of scrimmages occurred, for the most part among the visitors. One woman waa arrested for being drunk. Ordination. Rev. John D. Andrews was ordained to the Gospel Ministry, last Monday ci^ht, (23rd) at Foreston. S. C.. Rev. Messrs. Gal phin of Orangeburg, Bass of Manning, Lamp ley of Bethe! and Drown of Sumter? composed the Council, previous to the ordination ser? vices, baptism was administered by Rev. L. D. Bass to six candidates. Foreston Church is in a verj' healthy con? dition. The members have made a number of improvements upon their building, and among other things have constructed a good brick font. Mr. Andrews will preach at Foreston and Kingstrce. Mail Changes. The mail route to the Post offices in the upper part of the County will he changed after to day, and Uagood. on the Carodeu road, will hereafter be the distributing office. The days are also changed and the mail will leave Hagood on Tuesday. Thursday and Saturday, at 5 A. M. returning that after? noon. The time of -Mr. Boykin, the present carrier, on the Smithville route, is out and we shall miss him, as he has been exceedingly obliiiinir. Fine Vegetables. It is worth while, sometimes, to be a news? paper man, especially if o:;e has good Irieilds with fine gardens. We received yesterday from Mrs. T. B. Jenkins a basket of beets, cabbage, aud carrots, that were unusually fine. The beets were the largest wc ever saw in Sumter-one measuring nearly 2U inches in circumference, and auother (a long red blood) was about 18 inches long, from the crown to where it had been broken in palling up, at which point it was an inch and a half in diameter, and larger in proportion from there up. M/. Dabbs of Privateer brought us a num? ber of fine cabbage and large potatoes, a few days ago. If some kind friend would put in a side of bacon to cook our vegetables with, we would be supremely happy. Many thanks, kind friends. St. Joseph's Academy. The Twentieth Commencement was cele? brated last Thursday evening in the presence of a thronging crowd of patrons and friends. The Hall was tastefully decorated with ever? greens, paintings, drawings, &c, and with the pupils bunched like a huge bouquet of brillieut exotics at the rear of the room, it presented a most charming picture. Bishop Northrop, and Fathers Qniglej, Monaghan, and McNeill, were present and took part in the exercises, which were made up with reports ot the stauding and proficien? cy of the pupils, and the bestowal of medals and premiums, interspersed with music, recita? tions and dialogues. Among these we would mention the Carnival of Venice which was good, very good, and seemed to be as thoroughly enjoyed by tbe bright faced girls who performed it, as by the audience. "Tbe Singing Class" was also good. Its bright and sparkling young teacher eutercd with full zest into the play, and made the singing and dancing a delight to the eye as well as ear. An operetta, in which a large number of girls participated, was played. Some of its music was very sweet and pathetic. Miss Katie Mouaghan delivered the Saluta? tory, and Miss S. J. Henuegan the Valedictory. We imagine that it is difficult to write any thing original in the composition of so hackneyed a paper as a valedictory, but Miss Hennegan acquitted herself well. The composition and delivery were both good, and was listened to with breathless attention. Bishop Northrop cloded the exercises by a pleasant, informal and witty address to the audience and pupils. Miss Sallie J. Heonagan was the only graduate and received the medal. Miss Lula Bultman received a medal for proficiency in vocal and instrumental music. County Lodge. A meeting of Delegates from tbe subordi? nate lodges of Good Templars at Sumter, Providence, Manning and St. Jame3, was held in the Hall of Sumter Lodge No. 8., I. 0. G. T., Wednesday last, to organize a County Lodge for Sumter and Clarendon Counties, G. W. C. T , Cbreitzberg presid? ing. After appointing temporary officers and enrolling the delegates, the County Lodge was organized by the election of tbe following officers ; W. M. Graham, C. C. T. Miss Lila Connors, C. V. T. W. F. Rhame, C. Sec. Jesse M. Brown, C. F. 3. Miss Lizzie Benbow, C. T. W. C. Chandler, C. M. J. C. Chandler, C. Chap. T. h. Osteeo, C. I. G. Jno. Owen, C. 0. G. ' Miss Eliza Chandler, C. A. S. Miss Sarah Scaffe, C. D. M. Barto.v Walsh, C. P. C T. S. A. Nettles, District Deputy. A committee of one from each lodge was appointed to report a time and place, and also the order of business for the next meet? ing. At the evening session, the various lodges made encouraging reports of progress in the temperance work ; the officers elect were in? stalled by the Graud Worthy Chief Templar; I and the Committee of Arrangements made j their report. The following is a summary of i the same : That the County Lodge meet in Manning, j the 7th and Sd: August, proximo ; that the ? subject cf discussion be, "What more can be j done to further the interests of the order j within our bounds?" Messrs. W. H. Cuttino ! and S. A. Netties to open thc same ; and on j the night of the 7th a mass meeting to be j held, the speakers of which to be appointed! in the future. The Committee also recom- j mended that whenever a lodge or neighbor- j hood intend holding a mass meeting that thc County Secretary be notified of the fact, so that the same be published. The report was unanimously adopted. An eloquent address by the G. W. C. T., urgiug upon the members increased effort in their divinely appointed work, closed the ses? sion, after which thc Lodge adjourned. Much regret was felt at the failure of Prov? idence and Summerton Lodges in uotsending delegates. Providence was mistaken as to thc time, and this was the cause of its failure. - i * ?- mm - Music Hall. Joe Physioc's Benefit comes off. Thursday, July 3d, on which occasion will be presented thc beautiful sensational comedy, "For Love ? of Gold." Special scenery has been prepar? ed, and tlic piece is undergoing thorough re? hearsal. Mr. and Mrs. Theo Stark, of Co? lumbia, S. C., have volunteered their valua? ble services. The local talent gives great promise, and from the last rehearsal we should imagine "For Love of Gold" to be a success in every particular. Incidental to the play, Mrs. Stark will introduce some of her more pleasing ballads. She has won quite a reputation on the amateur stage-not long since scoring a marked success as Josephine, in "Pinafore." She has a charming voice, pleasing manuers and a style of execution that never fails to please. Mr. Physioc has made rapid progress ia the profession, ar/d j now gives his friends au opportunity to I judge for themselves. Ile also introduces Emmet's "Mountain Guide," Geo. S. Knight's beautiful "Lullaby," "The Famous | Dude Song" and Banjo Specialties. The | play is first class, and will be well pro- j ! duced. Besides, there will bo a compliment- j j ary Hop after tbe performance. Panorama at Music Uah Monday night, July 7th. Thc ! finest Panorama Exhibition in this Country. ; No dauby paintings but a work of art-see small bills to-morrow. Temperance at Wedgefield. Last Friday ni^ht the Grand Worthy j Chief Templar made a temperance address at I Wedgefield. The audience was largu and appreciative and nineteen names were obtain? ed for the purpose of organizing a Lodge of Good Templars. Next Friday night is thc time set apart for the organization. Tho Citadel Boys. Wc had a pleasant chat with Dr. Hudson, of Mayesville, this morning. He is trying to work up a big reception herc lor thc Citadel Cadets, who will pas? Sumter on their way to an excursion through the up-country towns, about the middle of July. At the suggestion of Capt. Auld, we ask the citizens of Sumter, who feel interested in the Citadel and the Cadets; to meet in the Music Halt, Friday evening. 4th, at Sj P. M., with the S. L. I., to make some arrangements toward giving the boys a big blow out in Sumter. Mr lt. J. Scarborough, the proprietor or the "New Scarborough House" in Wilming? ton, N. C., is now located al No. 10 i North Water Street, and still continues to keep une of the best Restaurants iu the Ci ty. The S. L. 1. boys who know him of old, and will want to see him again will keep his new lo? cation in mind. Tho Pratt Gin. This popular Gin will Bot make you drunk, bot it will gin cotton Try it. Mr. R. F. Hoyt will be glad to take all orders, aud will give them prompt attention. Wheu your children's flesh will not heal give them Ii. H. P. for the blood. Base Ball. The "Palmetto" Base Ball Club of Marion, having challenged Sumter for a contest, our boys met last night and organized a '.nine" for the purpose of accepting the challenge. The following is the roll of "Our Boys" Club : D Roscndorf, President. M. Morris, Captain. T. M. Monaghan, Secretary and Treasurer. Harry Sanders. W. J. McKain. R. S. Hood. Willie Reardon. Yeadon Delgar. Eddie Hurst. S. R. Wedinfeller. R. A. Brand, Scorer. The Sumter nine will leave here Thursday night for the battle field, accompanied with surgeons and friends, excursion rates having been secured for the round trip at ?2.10. The Camden Club has also challenged ;;Our Boys" for July 30th. Its a-ceptance will be considered in the future. Children's Day. Children's Day at Providence, on the 28th, was spent most delightfully by thc large as- ? sembly there gathered. The Rev, Mr. Chan- j dlcr opened the exercises in an impressive | manner to a church filled to overflowing, and with graceful and appropriate allusions to each distinguished speaker as he introduced them to a very attentive audience. The first speaker, the Rev. Mr. Chreitz berg, the eloquent Methodist clergyman sta? tioned in your midst, not only interested his little auditors, but furnis led solid reflection to grown up people. Mr. Cuttino, your efficient Clerk of the Court, next followed, adding his testimony to the beneficent effects of Sunday Schools through the laud, and be brought forward his proofs as coming within the range of a large, practical experience. It is well known, that Mr. Cuttino, in this field, as in others, could safely speak, and write ex cathedra. Dr. Henry Green, skillful physician, whose polished manners and highly cultivated mind leaves its impress wherever he goes, then, in choice, chaste, and eloquent periods, full of beauty, thought, and subtlety, charm? ed the ear and invigorated the mind and heart, upon the same glorious theme. When he closed, the immense concourse were gathered around the festive boara to partake of a feast abundant aod fascinating. With thoughtful care, a largo committee of ladies and gentlemen were appointed to con? trol and regulate the meal. These stood with? in the centre, distributing the meal with alacrity and with bounteous hands to the gathered hundreds. It was said, that this special arrangement was due to the thought? fulness of Mr. John Kingman. Whether this be so or not, we arc sure that in all the com? mittee (and they were all full of energy and courtesy) wc saw no more activen spirit, nor more gracious a disposition. After this highly satisfactory repast, again were we gathered ioto the church, when Mr. ! Cuttino again delighted us all with a careful- j ly prepared essay upon Intemperance, forci- i ble and full of feeling ; followed with great i emphasis and power by the Rev. Mr. Chrcitz- j berg in a role in which he has few equals, j and with a sincerity of heart and earnest? ness of feeling that held his audience in pro? found attention, and no doubt resulting in abundant good. The whole company when not engaged in listening to these profitable exercises, beguil? ed the spare minutes in delightful walks and charming talks, upon this beautiful picnic ground, and near dusk departed for their ' several homes, in charming moods, from this wholsome feast of soul and body. A very respectable collection was taken up in behalf of missions, one of the purposes of this meeting. J. G. Privateer Items. Miss Sadie Furman returned from her visit j to Ga., and Mr. McDonald Furman from the j S. C. College, on Saturday. There has been entirely too much rain the j past week 4o suit the farmers. It makes tuc crass grow faster than the crops ; and the I crops are so full of sap that a drought will j seriously damage them. Where seed peas could be gotten there is a stand insured. Pea planting and putting out potato sprouts and vines was all that the weather was fit for. If the grass were not growing we would all like to stay in the shade and eat half ripe apples aud peaches. Politics are quiet. We have no candidates "roaming about seeking whom they may smile on." We think Privateer ought to have some of the offices ; but the natives are too modest to push forward their interests. You must excuse me, (I am not a native,) for j starting one of Privateer's eloquent sons on the high road to the Executive Mansion. I nominate Mr. McDouald Furman for the office of Coroner. In all seriousness, Mr. Furman is one of the best informed young men of his age, on all conversant topics, I venture to say in South Carolina, and ou geueaologies he cannot be turned down. DEW. i- m ? >f Lynchburg Items. We have had delightful raius for several days past ; crops, both corn aud cotton arc fine and clear of grass up to this time, but ' thc prospect is now favorable for a fine crop ? of grass. j Lots of Cotton blooms. A tolerably fair crop of oats has been gathered. Fruit and blackberry crop very good, and altogether the outlook ?3 flattering. Go 4o D. J. Auld's for the best Soda Water. He has a new fangled ice shaver and will fill your glass with ice liku snow-if you like it that way.
