The Wizard Oil Company, which bas been giving open air entertainments in Sumter since Friday night, will play in the Music Hitll Wedoesday evening. We have1 not yet tried their pbysic ; bet we have beard tbeir music, and io common with the hundreds of other listeners enjoyed it immensely. We give our readers a few of the many favorable ootices given by the papers where tbey bave stopped : FayettetOU {X. C.) Sun: "A large and cultivated audience assembled and were high* ly delighted with* the roosic, which was in? deed really exquisite and rendered in such a high-toned and dignified manner as to please the most fastidious." Darlington (3. C.) News; '-This Company has given two conce* as io the Opera House and Urge audiences greeted the musicians both nizbts. The voices of the men are all Sne and the richness of the baritone is some thing unusual. We onnot do this Company full justice. Yon mus : bear them to appre ciate them." Wadesboro (JfT. ?.) intelligencer: "The best *how that-has viaised Wadesboro since we have been here, not excepting John Robin son's Circos, is the Hamltn Wizard Oil Com pany representatives." Again says the IntdUgeneer of January 2?rtb : "The concert given by the Wizard Oil Company Wednesday evening, last, was in every sense a success and more than gratified the expectation of those who expected a supe rior entertainment. Everybody was deligiit ed and the universal verdict wae : 'The best thing we have ever had in Wadesboro.' " A New Paper in Washington. Brick Romeroy in a postal dated Washing ton, D.

CARTER'S GROSSING, Feb., 24, 1885. Jfr. Editor:?In your comments on "Poor Farmer," some weeks ago, your opinions dif fered,"as yon thought, very widely from mine, but you are mistaken, for I heartily endorse the most that you said. * I agree with you that it is well to keep a good eow, and raise plenty of grain; but the trouble comes in when one is in debt. We cannot pay our debts unless we raise cotton, for it is the only farm product that we can turn into money in the Fall when debts are due. We are obliged to plant our beet lands in cotton..and ose the best manure so as to insure a good crop, for it takes a good crop and a good price to meet what ve bare to pay for our supplies at present prices. So you see the condition of those of ne who are in deht. There are some who can gire graiu and stock more attention than they do, for some places in the County are good stock ranges? for instance up and down Wateree Swanp; but the State as a whole is not suitable for such, for God has made one place for grain and stock, and another for cotton and flax. If we who make cottoo could get our provis ions at a reasonable price we could lire pretty well; but the middlemen stand between the cottoo and grain countries, and are doing all the mischief. Take them away and let the farmer' here deal with, the farmer there and we will soon see that it will not pay to raise grain and stock io the South. Your correspondent. Duggan hit "Poor Farmer" some hard blows, but you can say to him that I wtlhhave a word or two for him in the future. POOR FARMER, (Weare "glad that our correspondent en dorses, in the main, our somewhat crude vievrs on farming; but cannot understand wby he insists upon the necessity of giving the best land and the best manure to cotton, to the neglect of provision crops, for the os tensible reason of paying debts, when it ?oter?t pay debts.. Farmers have been pursuing the suicidal'policy of all cotton for years, and all the time are getting deeper and deeper into bankruptcy. Plant cotton by all means, but be sure to make bread and meat, by diversify ing the crops; tuen middlemen will lose all their terrors.?En W. asd S.) Privateer Items. . PaivaTBKB, February 28, 1885. Mr. Editor : .News is scarce, but when there is nothing else, one can always talk about th? weather and the roads, but as you koow as much of the weather as I do information od that subject wilt be dispensed with. Our roads, as far as I know have been well worked, and the travelling public enjoy tbem accordingly ; but the Sub-Commissioner does not seem to be satisfied and bas ordered the hands out to polish tbem off again next week. That's all right, I believe in good roads, so hurrah for the Sub-Commissioner. Mr. Dargan Osteen was married to Miss Adeline, daughter of Mr. Wm. Lackey, at the residence of, and by, Rev. B.C.

Strauss has fifty or more bales of cottoa^fe his yard?pretty good for Mavea ville. Fertilisers! Oh, Fertilizers! There w? :e ten car loads left here to-day. It s-ems as if it were useless for a farmer to raise anvtbing; for the cars bring horses, moles, corn, meal, baron, lard, floor and fertilisers to tbeir doors, and that too while we live in the garden spot of the world, and cao raise our own horses, provision*, Ac, and live at home as independ ently as ? wood-sawyer, ke*-p our money here and not depend on other States for a living. It is time to -oil up our sleeves and march to the front. When I think of the days of our fathers,tit makes my heart bleed. The coun try was safe in their bands, but whither is it now drifting. We have improved implements and are better prepared for the battle of life, but of what avail is it all ? So much time is taken t?y many raen to dodge tbeir debts, that they Juive but little time left for making a living. ' In old times people paid their debts if it took even the chickens out of the yard to do it; uow, we have the homestead law, be hind which we all can dodge, and if that fails we bunt up some otber fort to bide as from our creditors; and so we go from, bad to worse.' Stop it men, stop it. DcggaV. * f_ What's the matter brother? You must be bilious or dyspeptic. You are looking at the world through dark glasses. The world is not going to the bad. Tbe "good old times" of which we love to think and talk is a delu sion and a snare. If we bad lived then, we would have been disgusted and sigh for tbe times that were still older, and so we would goon till we got back to old father Admn with his fig leaf breeches and apple diet, neither of which 'would be satisfactory or pleasaot to either of os. Ed. W. k S. ] A Pleasing Incident. Capt. Webb of the Central is deservedly popular wi?h tbe employee* on that road. Three of them, Messrs Barl lee, Baughkman and Williams, recency presented him with an elegant conductor's lantern as an expres sion of their feelings toward him for numer ous kindnesses shown tbem. Tbe foiiowiog correspondence explains tbe pleasaot incident ; Colombia, S. C, Feb. 26, 1885. Capt. W. G. Webb: The undersigned beg that you will accept this lantern ae a slight token of tbeir esteem and their gratitude to you for the kind and Considerate manner in which they have been treated by you. Kiudnesa is seldom thrown away, and when shown to subordinates it very often bas the effect of lightening tbeir labors and of ranking a pleasant duty of that which might otherwise be an irksome task. We hope that yon will not measure our regard for you by tbe value of the little trifle through which we choose to express it. ; It is our earnest hope that it may long afford Iigbt to your footsteps and also that it may serve as a pleasant reminder that kindess is sometimes more acceptable than gifts of gold and silrer.

Reports from different sections indicate the oat crop planted since Dec. 1st is about all dead. This is heavy on tbe planters as most of tbem depended on this crop to get through tbe year, However, tbey are going on with their work as usual. Some are ditching their fields to cut off tbe roots from trees. I see the Piegati Church has new doors and blinds, which add greatly to the looks of tbe house.

C, Sept. 20th. 1862, and died at borne in BishopviHe, January 12th, 1885. Wbeo about two years of age he was very sadly afflicted by a? accident in the dislocation of a joint from which he never fully recovered. Tbos to bis mother he was rendered an object of very great care and solicitude ; and in the bonds of affection was drawn more closely to her than by the ordinary ties of Datore. He was. educated at the Charleston College of Soutb Carolin*, after which time he employed himself teaching, in which profession he very soon distinguished himself as one of unusual intellectual abilities, aod peculiarly gifted in tbe art of edacatiog. About the first of Octo ber, 1882, Le commenced tbe study of law it being tbe profession of his choice?and having finished bis coorse was admitted to the Bar io the class of May, 1884. Doriog the last political campaign?although so young?he presented himself to tbe voters of hi3 County as candidate for School Commis sioner ; and ' was elected by a very compli mentary majority. It indeed seems a strange dispensation of Providence, that one so full of promise, with loch a bright future, should have been cot down wile just enteriug the threshold of life. But may we, family and friends, bow in bumble resignation to Him that doeth all things for tbe best He was quiet, rather reserved, and unosten tatious io bis deportment ; modest as a lady, yet firm the expression of bis opinion. In flexible io his faith aod principles, Elwyn was regarded by all who new him as being tbe genuine type of the Christian gentleman. A dutiful and loving son ; devoted and affec tiooate brother ; a kind and sincere friend ; aod wbeo called upon was ever ready to work in his Master's vineyard. ' Well do the ' yontb of this commuait remember wbeo he delivered his last address before tbem io the Sabbath School ; the buroiog words of elo quence as he earnestly warned them of the many dangers lyiog in ambosb along tbe rugged and - meandering path of life. He died as he lived?calmly and without a strug gle. A mow triumphant death was never witoessed by the writer. Not more than two hours before the end, he sang one of his favorite Sunday School songs, ''Glory to His Name," and theo bis blood-bought sprit winged its hallowed flight, rond acted by a convoy of the heavenly host "Safe in tbe Arms of Jesus.". "The world no longer thine abode, Thee to deplore, were grief misspent indeed ; It were to weep. That there is bli?s prepared in yonder sky Aod glory for the virtuous when they die." "Light be thy turf dear one ! on thy breast And tranquil as to mind was, be thy rest." T. D. J. [From tbe Clarendon Enterprise.} to the memory op ARTHTJE HARVIN, ' . of oakland, 8. c.

Where men of bis record are known ; With tbe angels of Hgbt, Gently guiding his flight, To tbe heavenly rest be bas won.

INDESTRUCTIBLE COOKING STOVES. Tbe Wrought Iron Range Company of St. Louis, Mo., represented by JJr. F. P. Ale pangb, of North Carolina, as superintendent, and a number of efficient salesmen have estab lished tbeir headquarters at ibis place for the sale and distribution of tbeir justly celebrated "Home Comfort" Cook Ranges. This com pany is the largest, and most extensive insti tution in the country devoted exclusively to tbe manufacture of improved cooking appara tus, and tbeir extended knowledge of tbe wants and needs of tbe people in this resnect, coupled with their well-known energy'and Urge command of capita], has enabled tbem to carry their improvements to such a degree of perfection as would have been thought im possible a few years ago. To give an idea of their immense business, and to sbow with wbat degree of appreciation tbeir efforts for tbe benefit of tbe people bare been received, it is only necessary, to mention the fact tbat during*last year over 1 \000 oi their family size, A, "Home Comfort Ranges" were sold in the four or five States in which they ope rated, to say nothing of the iarger sizes sold to hotels, restaurants and other institutions of tbe kind. And it is a fact susceptible of the fullest prodf tbat nothing that has ever been invented in tbe way of a cooking app? tes has given such universal and complete satisfaction, and so nearly met tbc wants of tbeir customers as these ranges. The ordinary cost stove, is rapidly becom ing a thing of the past, and a person of .ordi nary powers of observation has only to see tbe "Home Comfort" Wrought Iron Range to be convinced of their immeasurable supe riority in poiot of durability, good cooking qualities, small amount of fuel consumed, ease with which it is kept in good order and tbe many other conveniences to which even the best cast stores cao lay no claim. The "Home Comfort Range" will be sold only from the Company's wagons and pur chasers ar? guaranteed fair, and honorable treatment and an article tbat will greatly lessen the labor of cooking and be a constant source of pleasure and pride to those who invest their money in them.
