Some of our patrons have been too busy to fix np their advertisements, we have been toa onay to help them, but next week we expect to he able to tell our readers of more af the pretty things for tale in Sumter.

In the mean time our readers caa assure themselves of the best of attention from his polite salesmen, Messrs. F. B. Grier, J. S. Potts of Lynchburg, and J. J. Britton.

His peculiar fitness for an address upon this line of thought is amply shown by this masterly production. ..Wednesday evening at 8o'clock Adjutant j aad Inspector General Mantgault inspected the Samter Light Infantry and the County Cavalry. OB account of the inclemency of tho weather, the inspection took place in Music Hall."-Syirit of the Time?. What it the matter with our Brother of the Time*? We know that he is a stay-at-home ama, and doesn't go around much, but did be really thiok that our progressive neighbor, j Capt. Auld, bad an elevator to take the Cav airy op for inspection in the Music Hall? Thanks. We have received from Rev. W. A Betts a copy of "Historical Outlioes of Greenville Circuit, S. C. Conference, M. E. Church, Sooth, by Rev. 8. M Green." We have not bad time to give it more' than a hurried examination, but feel sure that such a work -will be appreciated by every Metho? dist in the District. Wby cannot Sumter District get ap soch an outline of its Churches? We think it would pay well. -- -*>4m*fr A Runaway. A couple of mules attached to a wagon loaded with crockery and glass ware, and which were standing in front of Planters Warehouse yesterday evening, became fright? ened, and dashed across the street. When they reached the fence around the Court Boase Square, one ran through the gate and tba other jumped orer, bringing the wagon with a jar% against the fence, which was knocked down. The wagoo, however, wat stopped frith DO damage except a. broken tofcgaeaod two scared muies. The crockery was uninjured. Inspection. The Inspection of the Caral ry and lu fae try of Sumter County WAS appointed to' be held lat| Wednesday. Jupiter Plavins, however, bad charge of the weather bureau that day, and the Cavalry Inspection was postponed to soma fa to re day in October, and the S. L. I. had theirs in the Music Hall at night. Gest. Manigault, Col. DuBose, Maj. Wilson and Capt. Sanders were present and witness? ed tb? drill. Gen Maniganlt was pleased to compliment the Company for the splendid condition of its arms ; bnt regretting the small attendance of its members. He urged upon the company the great importance or its cootiooed existence aod asked that the ranks be recruited and kept up to the requir- ! ed standard. Each one of the officers present was called OD for a speech aod graceful re? sponses made by all. There was mach cheering and enthusiasm, especially by the everpresent small boy, which, as usual, was a unanimous pest. Oar School?. We gather from the report of the School Commissioner the following hems of the school year jest ended : Total number of schools, 105 Number of White Scholars, 1402 Kamber of Colored Scholars, 4067 Total a amber of Scholars, 5469 Average attendance, 3165 Number White Teachers, 61 Number Colored Teachers, 46 Number First Grade Teachers 16 Number Second Grade Teachers 34 Number Third Grade, 60 Amount Paid Teachers, 11,186.60 Houses Built, 7 Cost, 660.05 Value of School Houses, 8,280.00 Amount paid for rent, 78.50 Receipts from 2 mill tax, 9,145.75 Receipts from Polls, 4,135.86 Balance from former years, 4,128.36 Total disbursements, 11,908.26 On band, 5,532.25 The above makes a good showing for the schools and speaks well tor the good manage? ment of the School Commissioner. His suc? cessor will go into office with enough money on band to ruo the schools an average of 2} months for cash. We will give our readers some further fig? ures from the report at an early day. Gin Accidents. Mr. DeSaossure Bull lost two fingers and bad his thumb badly cai by hts gin saws tome days ago. Mr. R. T. Jones tried to clear the roll in the gin at Rosehill, last Saturday, and had his band and arm hart so badly as to necessi? tate amputation. The Factory. We are glad to say the Factory has started | again. It has been leased by private parties i and will be run by them till December, at which time we suppose other arrangements will be made. Mr. D. Jas. Winn is now the Superintendent and will manage that depart? ment with his accustomed energy. * Married. On Wednesday the 10th instant, at the res? idence of, and by Rev. B. C. Lampley, Mr. Sam Hudson to Miss Mamie Prichard all of Sumter. _ Death. Died at the residence of her father, Mr. W. O. Monroe, (Editor and Proprietor of the En taw, Ala., Whig and Ob*eroert) Annie Matt Monroe, in the eleventh year of her age. Annie was a lovely child, and thc memory of her bright face and sweet smiles, her fi 1ml devotion and loving ministrations in the ! home circle wt ll be ever cherished by bereav? ed friends. ? - - I Solid Improvements. We see that the stores of Miss Webb are about ready for occupation. Mr. Moran's two stores are also nearly 'ready for goods, and will soon be filled with a large assortment of useful things. When the stores above named are complete there will have been thirteen brick stores, some of them large two story buildings erect? ed since the fire last winter. What town can make as good a showing? Messrs. Folsom & Bro. We spent half an hour very pleasantly yes? terday morning, in the jewelry establishment of the above named gentlemen. We could not begin to tell of all the pretty things we saw-oew designs in scarf pius, lockets, brooches, chains, kc. A fine assort? ment of docks and watches and at prices to snit purchasers were seen on all sides. Fancy clocks with two pendulums on the outside, clocks with roosters to crow the hoars and hens to cackle the quarters, clocks to tell the second, minute, hour, day, week and year, all kinds of clocks are there for sale cheap. They have pretty silver ware, cake baskets, as well as a large lot of table ware and for those of failing eyes seveial hundred thousand glasses and spectacles, more or less They also have a fine lot of pocket knives and a large as ortment of gold and silver pens and pencils. Some Snakes. Mr. H. E. Thomas of Wedgefield told us a wonderful snake story the other day. He met up with a couple of venerable rattle snakes last week that had nine baby snakes. He killed them all, and then sat down and made a complex calculation of the number of snakes those eleven and their offspring would have produced in 10 years. We are not sure of the figures but think they amounted to something over 50,000.000; and when he thinks of the terrible infliction such an army of rattles would be to his sec? tion he feels that he deserves well of his country. Our friend is not a candidate and all we can do is to make him a Brigadier General. ^' [ ^ ^ | ^ Our Exchanges. The Sunday Dispatch is forging ahead rap? idly, and is one of our most interesting weekly exchanges. Messrs. Hutson k Ham? mond ar? :o be congratulated upon their suc? cess. The Netcberry Hcraltl and Nine* has come out with its new bead. It is not very pretty but the paper is first class despite ks 1 'ugly mug." The Nev* and Courier has received and is now putting into position the splendid new press which it ordered six months ago. Peterson s Magazine for October comes to ns with an increase of pages, and a more brilliant array than ever of steel-plates, color? ed fashions, colored patterns, and illustrative wood-engravings. The principal steel-plate, "Playing At Being Grandpa and Grandma," is as graphic as it is humorous-one of the very best things of the kind we have ever seen. The stories, continued and otherwise, are exceptionally good : in this respect "Peterson" has long been without a rival. Some bints are whispered, in this number, in advance, as to what is to be done in 1885 ; and it is not too early, it is added, to begin to get up clubs for that year. The best way to see weat is intended, and to test the merits of "Peterson,*' is to send for a specimen-copy, which willie tent, gratia, if written for in good faith. Address Charles J. Peterson, 306?Cacanut Street, Philadelphia, Pa. [For the Watchman and Sou laroo.] Mayesville Items. MAYESVILLE, S. C., Septemt>er 15, 1884. The Misses Pearson from Sumter are visit? ing relatives and friends in Mayesville, we also have Miss Lina Keen of Charleston, who is visiting Mr. Willie Wilson's family and other friends. Mrs. Walter Wilson bas returned from quite a long visit to ber parents in Bennetts ville, bringing back with her a fine son. He looks like a preacher already (that's because bis venerable Pa is so solemn and dignified.) Mr. and Mrs. X. G. DuBose are on a visit to parents and friends in Manning. Messrs. Dean, Chandler and Trimnal are all convalescing. Our town is growiog lively with the advent of new goods and cotton, and money is begining to make ita appearance. Mr. W. W.

DUGGAN. ? ^s i ? SIP Explanation. SUMTER, S. C , September 13, 1884. Mr. Editor: It is not my intention to enter into the controversy between the Providence and Rafton Creek Base Bali Clubs ; but to correct an error made by "Rafton Creek" in his communication which appeared in your last issue. He said I ruled base runner (Capt. Mathis) not out upon the ground that when a runner is caught between bases, that, it is necessary that player should have bis foot upon the base to put runner out. I ruled snid base runner not out, because in my judgment the touching of the base hy base runner and the touching of base runner by fielder were simultaneous and the league rules al-raj's give the base runner the bene? fit of the doubt. "Rafton Creek" was laboring under a mis ; take io regard to my decision, and I write this in justice to myself as _ UMPIRE. Any one who has never seen a shingle, planing or edging machine in operation, a trip to Mr. Brunson's mill will amply repay j them. Mr. B. takes great pleasure io showing his visitors around and his enterprise is both novel and instructive to roany. To give a small idea of the magnitude of bis enterprise, the tram road from the mill to the bill alone contains over 30,000 feet of lumber. His tramway ia now completed and large ship? men ts are being made.- Williamsburg Herold, mm . m i mm Shriner's Indian Vermifuge saved three thousand children from disease and death.

The only journal in the State published ex [ elusively in the interest of the Farmer and Manufacturer, and devoted to beautifying our homes and developing our agricultural re? sources, and improving our stock, ftc, is THE COTTON PLANT, an 8 page, 40 column, beautifully printed paper at ? price, SIXTY CENTS A YEAB, which puts it in the reach of every farmer. The October number will contain the great speech of the Hon. George D. Tillman, deliv? ered at the Agricultural meeting in Green? ville, on *:Tenacing and the Cultivation of the Cow Pea, R\e and Vetch as Manure and Forage," which is worth ia itself $1.000,000 to the farmers of the country, and ten times the price of the paper to any farmer who will read it. THE COTTON PLANT is not a theoreti? cal paper but each issue is made up of origi? nal and selected articles written by the best j farmers and stock raiser* in the country, giv- | ing in a clear and easy language their success and failures, and the canses tberof. Pro. W. n. WITHEROW, of Chester, one of the best teachers and educators in tbe State, after a careful and critical examination of THE COTTON PLANT writes: "A live teacher, with such a paper, could have a class in Agriculture, consisting of his whole school, and what an amount of useful, practical in? formation could be communicated in this way." We solicit men of every profession, mer? chants, farmers and manufacturers who read the Watchman and Southron to subscribe for THE COTTON PLAXT, and thus aid ns in building up a State and Home enterprise.

HALLETT & CV, Portland, Maine. Lola Hurst was very fortunate in getting possession of ber magnetic force just a little ahead of her rivals, and so made her fortune before competition became lively. In addition to the two other Georgia girls who conld cause furniture to dance over a room, we see that a young boy from Lynchburg, Virginia is developing remarkable pow? ers in the same line. ? few nights ago, it is alleged, he kept a table suspended io the air at a neighbor's house, with four or five men attempting with ali their strength to get it to the floor. At another time he 'literally tore a large dining table into fragments, while sev? eral men were working with all their might to wrest it from him., THE MARKETS. SUMTER, S. C., Sept. 16, 1884.
