We are glad to say to our renders that wc have a few of the advance sheets of Bill Arp's Diary, a small portion of which was em? braced in his Lecture, and that we will give dar readers the benefit of them next week. We are in receipt of thc June number of the . Stylus, the Newberry College paper. This copy contains a full account of the commence? ment exercises, some intimations of future plans, and also an interesting selection of general reading matter. The Stylus is well edited and nicely gotten up. Our Debating Club has bt cn engaged dur? ing the past week for the most part in politi? cal discussion. Butler's popularity with thc working men was satisfactorily prc en, hut unfortunately too late to influence the Chica? go Convention in making a nomination for the Presidency. Local Candidates received some attention in the discussion. The 1884 catalogue of the North Carolina College, located at Mt. Pleasant, Cabarrus County, N. C., is on our table. This Institu? tion is nader the care of the Lutheran Synod of North Carolina, and is noted for its correct morals and perfect healthfulness. Board xs very cheap, tuition from $30 to $50". Rev. G. F. Schaeffer is President. Sudden Death. The gardener at St. Joseph's Academy, Mr. --- Johnston, died very suddenly this afternoon. Supposed to be sun-stroke or apoplexy. . Murder. A rumor is enrreut in town that Moses Wilson, a colored man living some three or four miles from Spring Hill, was visited by twelve men this morning at his house, and riddled with bullets.

We have received the catalogue of the above named flourishing school for thc year 1883-4. It contains all necessary informa? tion as to studies, books, teachers, terms, &c. Error. We made a slip of the pen hst week in speaking of the dinner at Mr. Phillip's place ? -Fox Grove-as a neighborhood dinner. It was an annual holiday dinner for the hands on the place. Banner Class.

Public invited. Stateburg vs. the Senator from Sumter. We thought that Col. Earle's card, in our: last issue, would have closed the discussion, but as the members of Stateburg Club wish- j ed to make an answer we publish their reply ] to-day, and this will close the discussion as far as the Watchman and Southron is concern? ed, unless Col. Earle wishes to respond, after which all communications on this subject will be charged for as Advertisements. I Bill Arp*s Lecture. Thc Lecture last Thursday night, io the Music Hall, by that talented speaker. Chas. II, Smith, Esq.. was a most delightful occa? sion to the people of Sumter. A fall house greeted the speaker, who was introduced to the audience by R. D. Lee, Esq., in his usual? ly happy manner. Mr. Smith opened his lecture hy an account of the manner in which he became known as "Bill Arn," and then he branched out on his subject, "The Swing? ing of the Pendulum," in a most extended manner. Ante-war methods and manners in the South, the peculiar habits of the people, their Aristocracy and Democracy were ell ! outlined ia an interesting and amusing way. I His father waa from Massachusetts, his mother a Charleston lass, and from the com? bination of elements derived from such antagonistic sources, he explained thc various contests which had arisen between "mc and j myself." His portraiture of the colored man, his j gocd qualities and his bad ones were true to nature, and all could recognize the picture. ? The entire address, was marked by a vein of j Bill Arp humor which ran through every j idea ind expression, and thc audience had j their Inchest expectations realized. Mr, } Smith is by no means an orator, lie has nu i j even, smooth Gow of words. His pronuncia? tion is deliberately distinct and somewhat monotonous. Wc have but one regret in con? nection with the lecture. In reading Bill Arp's letters, picturing home scents, and the j delightfully domestic surroundings, we had I a distinct picture of him in our mind's eye, I as he trotted around, obedient to thc sugges- j I tions (we will not say commands) of Iiis bet- j ter half, bringing water from thc pump, play tog with Carl, picking berries, putting down j or taking up carpets, or aDy other of thc numerous domestic avocations around which he has thrown sach a charm with his facile pen ; aad now that picture is utterly de- < stroyed. We can never reconcile thc courtly j gentleman, to whom we listened with so I 1 much pleasure last week, with the facetious Dill Arp, whose uxoriouslv imposed domestic avocations so frequently resulted in the backache, or a touch of rheo matiz. Mail Delinquencies. SMITHVILLE, S. C., July 12, 1384. Mr. Editor: Since the first of July, the new mail route to Smithville, ?3 working badly for ns. The Watchman and Southron does not reach Smithville during the week of its publication, neither do any of the other Sumter papers that I know of. My Northern paper that was always punctual, is now two weeks behind, and my other State papers a week. How ts it, is the mail detained in Sumter or at the offices from there to Smith? ville? As Editors are supposed to know almost everything I write to you for a little i light on the subject which will greatly oblige many of your subscribers. J. E. D?P?iE. In answer to our correspondent, wc will say that in changing a route, mail mailer will bc frequently mis-sent for a short lime, j tili tho Agents get Accustomed lo lite new or i der of things. We think however that the j change referred to has been most unfortunate, i Sumter should be the distributing office for i the County, and the-people will all sn (Ter I j from thc inconvenience of having their mails 1 to and from the County seat delayed thereby. | Smithville. j The 12 o'clock train last night took oil* i j quite a large crowd for Smithville, X. C. j j The following members of the S. L. I., arc ic j all probability enjoying the breezes from old ! ocean : I Captain D. J. Auld; Lieutenants C. W. j Stand!, W. H. Cuttino; Sergeants F.

A couple of colored swains, living near the | I Clarendon line, on the Concord road, being I j smitten with the charms of a dusky damsel \ j of thc same neighborhood, determined to set- j j tie their claims by the code, and organized a I ? lively little duel last Sunday night. Several j j shots were fired, and one of the duelists was j wounded in the arm. The victor, under the I influence of the persuasions of the damsel and j her friends, brought her to Sumter yesterday, j j and Killed on one of our merchants, where j the necessary wedding garments, including j ? orange flowers, &c, were obtained, and they '. j being duly donned, the loving couple called on Justice Sanders and were joined in thc ? ! holy bonds of matrimony. This is only a bare outline of a sanguina- 1 ry-amorous affair, which, when property tilled j out, will doubtless figure in thc next Court. ; '<"a?*> Arkansas, j Rev. R. M. Andrews, who has been work- ? j ing up an Arkansas boom for the colored j I people, tells us that he has.received most cn- j j couraging reports Irom those who moved ? ; there last winter. We publish below nn ex- ! j j j tract from a letter written to Mr. C. S. Bar- j 1 rett, the Southeastern Land and Passenger | j Agent of the Little Rock and Fort Smith j j Railway, and which he sent to It. M. An- j ! drews, to show the advantages of that coun- j ! try. We do not advise emigration, but if ! i the colored people wish to go, we believe ' j Arkansas to be far better than Suites farther j ; North.

On last Friday .a representative of tlie Watchman and Soutkron i ti response to the invitation of Mr. J. R. Phillips, attended the Annual Holiday Dinner at his "Foxgrove." place near Providence, and spent a very pleasant time. lie has a well located farra of about 300 acres in cultivation, which appeared to have been freshly worried over, and was a? clear OP grass and weeds as could be desired. It has been his custom for several years to give his hands ft holiday and dinner about the 4th of July, or ns near that time as they could get the crop worked out clean. This year the time was postponed ODC week later, to give them time after the rainy season. Ile says that he has found it an excellent pian, and that thc bands look forward to the oe-, casion and work with greater spirit. On arriving at his place-which wasidenti- j fled, this being our first visit lo it, by the j large patch of Amber Sugar Cane, close by the barn lot-?we found pr?parations for the dinner, in thc shape of several long tables j nader the grov? of oaks, aud a tremendous j pile of melons upon one of them. .Mr. Phillips i and family ami friends were enjoying them- j selves upon the piazza ia thc coo! breeze, j while the ?lands were to be seen in groups in the shade at a distance. Alter thc lapse-of j an hour orso, which was spent in pleasant cen- j vcrsation, and in walking around his garden j and orchard, dinner was spread upon the j table before mentioned, and our host and j family and friends having dined, tlie table j was re-set and the gong sounded when thc j hands, about 30 altogether, gathered around j and had a regular pic nie. Mr. Phillips runs ? 12 plows thc present year, and works most of l his hands on the wages plan. Some of them j have been with him ever since lie has owned j the place-some five or six years. In the cool cf the evening, before leaving, j we rode around witli Mr. Phillips and looked j at his crop and found it in the same condi? tion all over, and if no disaster occurs he will ? certain! v realize a fine yield from his place! this year. A share crop of one of his old hands (Sam j Nelson) was pointed out, and it bears cv:- ? dence that Sam ha3 worked well and bids fair j to get a good return. We were under obligation to Mr. W. D. i Islanding, who went up that day to his \ "Knox" plantation, fora seat that far in his j buggy behind his pair of fine mares, and for j the usc of one of them under saddle to com-? p?ete the journej*. This gave usan opportu-j nity of going through his place and seeing some Very fine cotton. There are also some other good fields of cotton on the road (as well as some not so i good) between there and Sumter. One among ! the former that particularly attracted attcn- j tion was at Mr. Hatfield's place about four j miles from town. We would beg to remark,! however, io connection, that he allows his j plows to run too far into thc road, and besides j thc injury to the road, his lands will not be ; benefitted by having thc rows plowed open at ! the end on thc hill side so thai thc rains will ! wash the soil out into the road. We found this plowing into thc road to be ! more or less the case all the way, and we j would suggest to the County Commissioners that they lake some action, in order that a line be fixtd beyond which the plowman j must not go. Want of space prevents saying more about thU pleasant day at "Foxgrove," and the j delightful airing behind friend Cladding's J dashing mares.

Thc meeting wag called to order by Gol. Jno. S. Richardson, President of ilse Associa? tion, aud thirty three members responded to the roll cali. Thc Committee appointed to revise and completo thc roll made their report, and the company can now boast of a complete roi! of their organization as it existed twenty three years ago. The fourth Wednesday in July was appointed as the time for next meeting, at which time it is possible that a reunion of the entire Regi? ment will bc held. Col. Jno. S. Richardson was appointed orator for the next meeting, and Mr. J. S. Scott of Marion, Alternate. Tito following resolution in regard to the death of four esteemed comrades was adop? ted : Jlcsolrat, That in the deaths of our lament? ed comrades, Guiguard Richardson, Wm. M. McNeil, Wm. M. Pool and Adison 1). Tronblefield, the State lost true and worthy cit ?zens, the communities ir. which they lived, tried, trusted and faithful friends and neigh? bors, and our Survivors' Association, beloved, gallant und honored comrades. The Historie;?? Committee appointed at the previous meeting was continued, and this closed the business part of the meeting. Dinner was next announced, aud the response all along the lin.es was unanimous. Two newspaper men were present, and they bravely led thc way. No obstacle was sufti cicnt to turn them from the table, but man? fully charging the two hcaped-up, well filled plates, prepared especially for them by thc committee, they set an example that was worthily followed by the gallant survivors. The dinner was bountiful and good, and was enjoyed by all. Afterward, baskets of fruit were deposited around, and then some? body called on the inevitable candidate for speeches. Nobody wanted to hear them, however, and their responses were brief. Col. J S. Richardson closed the day with a short but eloquent tribute to his old company, and then gond-bye. ---Haw- - Tho Fourth at Woods, Mill. Well, Mr. Editor, you missed a treat, sure. And our pleasure was somewhat marred by your non-appearance. Such a crowd of good natured pleasant folks! Then the beautiful young Indies and the polite young gentlemen addedsuch a charm to the occasion. Such a host of girls and boys. But the crowning glory of the day was the assemblage of so many aged and middle-?iged men and women. Their genial happy faces spread a glow of radiance wherever you looked. Then there was such a pile of fish. Woods is renowned for his fish. Well, they say he is a mill man, bul this is his/orie tco-fish and fish ponds. The marshall won*for him? self uu li m i ted praise by bis indefatigable en? ergy in securing for thc crowd such an amount offish. Ah.' the Smugglers went home like a cur when they found the nest-egg gone. Had uo chance to even slip a cat in their pockets. Again, the marshall fully demonstrated bis epicurean proclivities by the palatable season? ing and the nut brown color when fried, suiting the tuon fastidious taste, and sadly tempting some of the old chronic dj-speptics that came to see and hear but not toeat. In addition there was spread a bountiful repast of edible?, and whoever dbl not regale the inner man by partaking of the abundance before him, need only blame himself ; for the courteous manner in which they were kindly invited, welcomed ail. After dinner we were highly entertained by short addresses from two politicians-subjects, '*Progress," and .'Politics," and two young collegians "Life," and "Criticism." While listening to these young men our hearts throbbed with enthusiasm. Surely there must be a bright future for our State, when there is coming to l't:e front such an array of talent and intelli? gence as exhibited by these four speakers. A shower of rain drove us hastily under shelter, and we were again refreshed by the marshall with cooling draughts of iced lem? onade, for which we were under obligations to the kindness of gentlemen whose press of business prevented them partaking with us. As usual, considerable flirtations, some courtships, but amounting to nothing in the cud. DEBRIS. Smithville Items. SMITH vi;xnr S C., July 12, ISSi.
