Mr. John Squier, travelling agent for thc Columbia Register, gave us a short call this morning. He is a pleasant gentleman, and represents a good paper. The great trouble \ lb Sumter with the Register is that we can-j ?ot get il until the news is old. If we could ! . ?et it two or three hours after publication, it Woald be a popular pa per. Workmen are busily engaged preparing the j /bundalion for a double store on Miss Jane Webb's lot on Liberty street. "The Lot-holders of the Sumter Cemetery will .notice the advertisement calling for a meeting on Wednesday. Maj. Isaac Keels, speaking of his crop, yes? terday, says he has as good a crop as be ever made. Maj. English told us yesterday of a terrific rain storm in his section on last Thursdav. > Jt rained, and it rained. The attention of brick-makers ?3 called to ibeadvertisement of the Methodist Church Building Committee. They will want 20e: ?O0. Our correspondent "J" gives the Black River Union a bad character for temperance. We hope that venerable body does nbt de? serve it. " Mr. Altamont Mochas a bulletin board prepared for Chicago telegrams, and intends to keep Sumter posted with the news from Chicago till Cleveland is nominated. "Many Voters" present ibo name of Dr E. J. Rembert as a suitable candidate for Repre? sentative from Sumter County at the ensuing election. Dr. Rembert is a man of fine cul? ture and extensive reading and is exception? ally popular in his section, and will command tbe earnest support of its voters. The Panorama la3t night wa? tolerably good^ ?od the ?ndience very well pleased with it. The singing head was a curiosity, ?t makes good music, and has an extremely flesh-and-blood-Iook about it. There will be an exhibition again to-nigbt. --Saleday brought a large number of farm? ers and others (candidates) to town. Many warm hand-clasps were indulged in, many smiles (spiritual) were enjoyed, and it was a red-letter day all around, one enthusiastic candidate asserting that be was gaining one hundred votes each day. The new Catholic Church at Spartanburg, of which Rev. J. J. Monaghan is pastor, will be dedicated by Bishop Northrop on next Sunday, July 13th. Persons wishing to at? tend the dedication and visit Spartanburg, can procure round trip tickets from Sumter forthe low rate of S4.f?0. Tickets will be on sale next Saturday, ( t??c ?2tb,) and w iii bc good to return on any day until the 17th, in? clusively. Passengers leaving here on the Central R. R. train at 11.10 A. M.. arrive at Spartanburg at 5.30 P. M.. the same day. This is a good opportunity of visiting the mountains. * The pathetic appeal for bacon to season oi-r cabbage bas been most promptly answered; and the needy member of the Watchman and Southron staff now rejoices in a whole side of bacon. If there is any increase in the rotun? dity of figure, orin the independence of his carriage, people must excuse him, as he abounds in bacon and greens, and is trying to fatten up before they are all gone. The | considerate donor bas kept himself in the : back-ground, but we opine he may be found in the neighborhood of the South-east corner of the inicrittiioii of Main and Liberty j Streets. Demoer?tic Clubs. Stateburg Club met last Friday and elected the following delegates to the County Con? vention : Dr. W. W. Anderson, Geo. M. Sanders, W. R. Flud, W. W. Anderson, Jr., ! and Richard Gayle. Zoar Club niet the same day and elected W. J. Brown, J. ?. Brogdon, J. J. Britton and F.- Grooms as delegates. On Saturday, Privateer and Providence held their meetings. The former sent \V. 0. Cain, J. C. Hodge, W. G. Wells, W. R. Wells, F. B. Bradford, John Nicholas and Frank Winkles as delegates, and the latter, i elected W. D. Scarborough, R. J. Brownfield, S. J. Brown, W. S. Burkett, J. B. Raffietd, j L. A. Dixon and W. S Boykin. We have been informed that the above j named delegates were instructed for Moise for I Solicitor, and for Primary, in the nomination of officers. Democratic Executive Committee. .The Democratic Executive Committee met yesterday. We have not the complete report i of proceedings but understand that in accor? dance with the wishes of the lite Convention, the Committee called a County Convention to meet at 10.30 a. m., on Monday, the 21st in- j stant, for the purpose of electing Delegates to the Judicial Convention, to the Congressional j Convention, to decide the manner and time of nominations, and to elect a new Executive j Committee. The Convention is to be composed of one delegate at large from each club, and au ad- j ditional delegate for every twenty five mern- j hers or fraction of twenty five if it be more than half. - Trip to Wedgefield. One of the Watchman and Southron House-j hold was captured by some Good Templars I last Friday as .they were starting ona tem-? g?rance raid to our sister-town Wedgefield, j and he fell into line with but few protests. | The trip was made on the new, fast mail trata which passes Sumter at 11.10 A. M. j This was its first trip", and it came in with a ? rush a few minutes behind lime, and with one I blazing box. We found Wedgefield in a pleasant frame ! of mind, and as we have repeatedly remarked, j it is a good place to visit. We camped with ! Mr. W. W. Moore and he gave hs a good din- j ner because he is a good practical farmer, j and plants and raises what he uses, 83 fur as j it is practicable. An abundance of choice! vegetables, bacon, fruits, milk, butter, j chickens, biscuit and bread, all home made, j is ?bod enough for any one, even a news- I paper man. Of course, we had a good time j sud brought away pleasant recollections of; Mr ?nd Mrs. Moore and family. Messrs. Aycock, McCutchan, McLaurins, Ramseys, Mellelts, Wilsons and others seemed to be prosperous and contented. With fine crops all around, good health, and last, ! though by no means least, clever candidates on the rampage, always ready for a political j discussion, add willing to tell all they kuow, j and sometimes more too, those people are ? certainly blessed and have every reason to ! be satisfied with this world's goods. We expect to go there again soon, for we j did not get half through organizing our lodge. I Good Templars love cold water but they bad rather uot have it in bucketfuls, as we had it j that afternobu. Religious. Last Sunday Rev. J. H. Carpenter preached j at the Baptist Church. At night the regular i union meeting of the town churches was held j at the same church, Mr. Chreitzfcerg preaching j to a crowded bouse. Rev. A. J. Stokes will preach at the Metho- . dist Church next Saturday at ll a. m., and j on Sunday both morning and evening; j Love Feast service will be held Sunday j uiorning al Ol a. m. This will te the 3rd j quarterly meeting of the District Conference, j t Eill Arp. Bill Arp will lecture here on Thursday j night. We suppose there is hardly a niau ; or woman in the county, who eau read, j that hus uotenjoved his inimitable leilcrsand j I I all will feel as if tney were meeting an did I friend when lucy come ont to hear him. The ; ? lecture is for the benefit of the Methodist j Church liuildiog Association. Admission j j 50 ceuts. - I j Married. On the evening of June 25th, at the resi I dence of the bride's fattier, by Mr. Chas. H. i j Moise, Aaron C phelps to Miss Belle Solo- ! I mons, daughter of Dr. E. Solomons, all of ? Sumter. - Bread. j Among the other good things in Mr. j Steh le's establishment there may bc found i j fresh Graham Bread every day. It is whole- j some and palatable. Go and try it. The Farmers m Council. . j The meeting yesterday, areport of which j ! appears elsewhere, was well attended by many : I of our best farmers, a commendable degree of ! j interest was manifested, and Sumter County j may confidently rely upon having a suitable j representation of its products and resources at the Exposition. A Fine Cow. Mr. Charlie Stausili has a cow that is ! I j ' genuine, and not a cross between a pump and j a piece of chalk. With reasonable attention! ! and sufficient feed, she ?ives twenty quarts a ? j day, of good, rich milk. She is a home i made article, with no tine blood, but after all, j j it's milk we want, and not blood. Mr. Sun- i ! sill's cow goes to the hoad of the class. I "For Love of Gold." J This Drama was played at the Music Hall i ? last Thursday night by Sumter Amateurs, ! j directed by Mr. Joe Physioc and assisted by ] i Mr. and Mrs. Theo Stark, of Columbia, i We must congratulate "Vermont," the old j ! miner, upon scoring a success in that chante- j j ter. Mrs. Stark's acting and singing was j ! warmly applauded. Her ballads were very j sweet, and the notes rang in Cur ears long j j after the exhibition closed. Mr. Physioc's j ! acting was good, but bespeaks too fast and j as a consequence, much that he says is not j understood, which detracts from bis fine j I playing; Mr. Stark's part W?S emotional ' j and somewhat tragic. We do not admire ! ; those roles and therefore could not properly I ; appreciate bis really fine acting. Jube and ; I Winkye contributed a large share toward the | amusement of the audience. Mother Morton j i was a delightful old soul, and though 'uer j . bair was gray, she bad not near forgotten th-j j ecstatic feeling caused bv a mascu?ue ecu- j i brace. We were sorry to see so slim a house, and j think the community would have given the j play a more generous support had its merits j been known : but it ia never too tate to mend, j and another opportunity will be given on j Wednesday, July 9th. to those who wish to ; witness it, at which time '-For Love of! Gold" will be repeated together with a roar- j lng farce entitled, "Betsey's Bud Boy," Mr. j Pbysioc and Mrs. Stark introducing new music, new songs and new specialties. Ad- j mission 25 cents. No extra charge for re served seats. Golden Days continues to present well : filled columns to its readers. The buys and ; girls can always find much to amuse and in? terest in that popular magazine.

Thc trains did not connect at .Magnolia. The W. C. & A. was all right, but the Magnolia, Pudding Swamp and-Bay train did not ran OQ time, and so, after reaching .Magnolia, wc were left in an extensive quandary. Several Sumter folks, especially candidate;, made prodigious efforts to reach Wood's Mill, but all failed. One, who made a fine j start and was getting on swimmingly, | became absorbed in contemplating his | chances for the nomination, got lost and j finally pulled up at a Sunday School picnic, ten or fifteen ni i les away, and thinking it was the place, proceeded to unhitch. When his mistake was discovered., he made the best of a bad bargain, delivered a Sunday School address and won much renown. And so on through thc list, nobody from Sumter get there. Bui a lingo crowd was present all the same, and lots of candidates from Clarendon, They had 200 fish and an alligator, besides lots of other nice things to eat, and all spent a jolly day as usual. As ior us, after contemplating the feasibil? ity of taking passage on a cart, which was going fi om Magnolia to Wood's, with a load j of ice and lemons, and thereby risking our ? nek, we met with Dr. A. II. Frierson and captured a seat in his buggy. Ile took us through the quiet tittle town of Lynchburg and a mile beyond to the grove in front of Mr. J. W. Hawkins' house, where was held the picuic, which closed the exercises of the LYNCH HUI:? ACADEMY . It was attended by a large Dumber of tue patrons and friends of the school, and was enjoyed by all. The Trustees of the Academy (Messrs. McLcods and Durant) and the Principal, i seemed to be mas ers of ceremony, and we ? feel sure that there can bc no cause of coin- j plaint against them ; for they seemed to exert themselves, and we think succeeded in making every one frei at home/ Those who expected speeches on the occa- | sion seemed uneasy, as all the candidates un? der promise to attend failed to appear except one, and after diuuer-which was good enough and sufficiently adundant to have filied the "aching void," if it could have been filled-there was some slight iudications that i those seekers after intellectual food were not | inclined to "give it up so;" but as it was j not apparent that they would be able to I accomplish anything, the company scattered about, in groups, and some had gone horne, when later in the afternoon a group was seen collecting in the grove, and the an? nouncement was made that there was to be a speech. Capt. D. E. Keels, led off with a first rate talk on the subject of Education, and if he bad not said that he was unprepared, and j had no expectation of making a speech, we j would have thought bc had fixed up for the j occasion. Mr. Chas. li. Green, a young gentle? man of the neighborhood was called on, and after a few remarks gracefully excused himself by a premise for some future occa? sion. Mr. Elwyn C. Rogers, candidate for School Commissioner was called np and entertained the company a short while, after which several other calls were made, none of which succeeded in getting a regular speech; and upon the approach of rain the crowd hurriedly retired to the residence of Mr. Hawkins. We are glad to kno w that the Lynchburg Academy, under the experienced management of its talen tea principal J. P. Brown, has just closed a satisfactory session. The nnai- ? ber of pupils was smaller than usual but il could not be otherwise, in the present strait? ened circumstances of the people, financially. Mr. Brown won golden opinions from the patrons of the school, as a thorough, prncti cal teacher and we have Dot a doubt but that the old Lynchburg Academy, under thc reviving influence of good crops will open this Fall with brighter prospects of success than ever before. Many of the picnickers are nader obligations to the family of Mr. Hawkins for kindness?shown. We were very sorry to see that Mr. Hawkins w.-is in i bad health, and sincerely hope that he will i soon bc- blessed with rcsored health and ener- i gy. We are under obligations to Dr. Frier- ? sou and other; for courtesies and substantial kindnesses. Who Can Beat Them ? A cabbage weighing seventeen pounds when cut, and, after being stripped of -all superfluous leaves, having a solid head weighing a fraction nuder eleven pounds, was sent to "yours truly" by Mrs. B. D. Mitchell. We have but one objection to pub? lishing the weight of liiis monster, and that is we fear that our friends will think that after fearing on eleven pounders we will turn up our nose at four and five pounders, but not a bit of it. Many thanks to our fair friend for lier kindness. Dr. il. T. Abbott astonished us with an Irish po ta toe, weighing two pounds. You ought to see it. Mr. Johannes Breutsch brought some oats to our office last week that were magnificent. They were made from the "Welcome" Oat seed and were six feet high. Base Ball. "Our Boys*' went lo Marion according to arrangements, bul the rain in the afternoon interfered with the game afurr three innings were played, and the co?te.-1 had to be post? poned. The Sumter team invited their antagonists to come over and play the game here, and they will possibly accept. Sudden Death. W. J. St ut tie, generally known as Ling, went to dinner to-day at 2 o'clock and at our going to press at 13 minutes before 5 he bas not returned to his usual place of business. | Dr. Auld is certain that he has choked to death; but if such is not the case, kind friends wi!! please keep a look out for him i ?nd semi him back, as he has certainly lost his mind, if not dead. Kew x; ust l^xiJiesa. On July 4th, the X. E. K. li. Company commenced running a new oxpre.-s train from Charleston to Columbia. Il passes Sumter i from Charleston at 11.10 A.

C., JULY :;, ? SS I. MT. Editor : I should hope to escape the mer? ited abuse, should I mention the weather, but cannot refrain from saying that we have hud several showers during the past two weeks, and that the farmers are crying gmss; and putting forth gigantic efforts to kill it, but are only succeeding in transplanting. Corn and cotton are both looking well. Our communiiy is somewhat exercised over the question of postmaster. Mrs. Wilson (a widow lady) has filled the office acceptably fop a number of years ; but isaac B. Smith, a Rhode Island mulatto Methodist preacher, was appointed postmaster cai ly it: the winter, before his conference suet, and was accordingly sent to this work, hut for reasons best known to himself he never de? manded the office but resigned in favor of Mrs.. Wilson, thus raising himself in the estimation of both-white and colored; and we thought the business was ended. Not so, however, for one Dave Frierson claims to he the P. M., and has been trying to rent a house to open it in This is an outrage. 1 suppose the Radicals want some material to grind in the outrage mill and I am not sure but they should be accommodated. Mr. Edi? tor, next Spring, when a Democratic Presi? dent begins making his appointments, I want the place of f?cktr-in chief of thc post office department, to help these fellows down and out. Our community enjoyed a rare treat hist evening, in a Temperance lecture by the Rev. A. Coke Smith. Despite the unfavorable weather there was quite a large turnout. The Lynchburg Division of Sons of Temperance is ia a flourishing condition and had about fifty members in regalia. The eloquent speaker held his audience well in hand for over ari hour, as he pictured some of the evils of intemperance Cant you give us a ticket for thc legislature which will vote solid on this subject? The Sunday Schools of thc place united in celebrating Children's Day, at thc Methodist Church, last Sunday. The Centenary address was delivered by Rev. Chas. B. Smith. The church was tastefully decorated and the music good. The schools have all closed or will do so to? morrow, at which time the Lynchburg Acad? emy will close with a picnic. RUST! CFS. Stateburg Club. STATEBURG, July 4, 1SS4. Thc Stateburg Democratic Club met at Beech Creek to-day. After a careful revision of the roll, the former officers of thc Club were unanimously re-elected, and an addi? tional Vice President was elected. The offi? cers arc as follows: President, Dr. W. W. Anderson Sr.; 1st Vice President, W. J. Rees ; 2nd Vice President, Ishani Moore ; Secretary and Treasurer, W. W. Rees. The following delegates to the County Convention, (named by a committee, of five, one or more from each section) were unanimously elected: Delegates-Dr. W. W. Anderson. Sr., at Large ; IV R. Find, G.

This ali came of a visit on the part of a young lady to Modoc County, Cal. Thc dear creatures must be rare iu that patt of the world. With us it is quite different. A young lady com? ing into our midst, receives no such ovation. Some young fellow will pro? bably offer her a share in a battered, worn out. heart that hus doue duty OG such occasions dozens cf times before, but wc never rise to tito sublimity of giving a young lady a cuttle ra ri cb or liquor saloou. -oj? .?-?-? ?? ?fi*a- - Care for Cholera.
