P. O. Change.
Mr. J. A. Hickson has been appointed
Postmaster at Magnolia vice J. F. McRea, re?

Magnolia for getting rid of that unadulterated
humbug, McRea. He would show to much
better advantage in the cotton patch than in
the Post Office.
Cheap, Isn't It?
The Excursion Rates to Washington, of j
which notice is given in our advertising col?
umns, will commend themselves to onr read?
ers as being very cheap. Ten dollars for a
ticket from Sumter to Washington and return
ought to induce every man who desires office,
to go and present his claims in person to the
President.

thereabouts.
Fine Cotton.
P. G. Bowman, Esq., left in our office last
Wednesday morning two stalks of cotton j
which were finer than any thing we have
seen. They are three feet high and well filled
with squares. Mr. Bowman says they are a
fair sample of an 18 acre field.

The Marshal's Office.
U. S. Marshal Toomey will surrender his
office to his successor, E. M. Boy kin, to-mor?
row, though Mr. Toomey will have to remain
io office also for some time to close np the old
business. In the examination of the varions
offices of E. S. Marshal, over the country, the
South Carolina office, with fonr others was
found to be absolutely correct, and Marshal
Toomey leaves office with a clean record.
Mr. Toomey expects to go up to Hen carson?
ville ima few days with Mrs. T. who has
been quite sick lately, but will return, him?
self, to Charleston, where be will make bis
headquarters until the old business of his office
is closed up. We do not know what his
plans will be after then, but suppose be will
return to Sumter, where be will meet with a
warm welcome. Barring politics T. J. Tno
mey isa clever man and useful citizen.
Annual Inspection.
Adjutant and Inspector General Manigault
inspected the Sumter Light Infantry last
evening in the Music Hall. The company did
not present as soldierly an appearance as usnal,
owing to the fact that their uniforms have
been allowed to run down at the heel some?
what, in anticipation of a change. Guns
were also scarce.
Gen. Manigault promised to send the com?
pany new guns in a short time on condition
that the company wonld fit itself out ic reg?
ulation uniform within the year. Capt.
Auld, in behalf of the Company, promised that
every effort wonld be made to perform that
duty.
The Company had 35 men ont, rank and
ile.
Gen. Moise* Address.
It is seldom that a public address should
receive commendation from all who hear it,
bat such was the case Thursday evening at
the Music Hall. For two hours the speaker
had the undivided! attention of bis audience,
as he told of the "men and things" he saw in
his late Western trip. It is deeply to be re?
gretted that so eloquent and instructive an
address should be given to a only a partially
filled boase, bat those wto went enjoyed itali
the same.
Dr. J. S. Hughjon presided, and introduced
the speaker.
The fine music was another pronounced
feature of the occasion. A duet delightfully
rendered by Mrs. H. C. Moses and Mrs. L. B.
DuRant opened the exercises, while another
equally charming, by Mrs. Henry Harby and
Mrs. Ruth McLaurin closed the evening's en?
joyment.
The Panners' Agricultural Associ?
ation.
The Executive Committee of the above
Organization met in Music Hall, Saturday.
There were present Dr. J. H. Furman,
President of the Association, H. R. Thomas,
Secretary, and Messrs. R. I. Manning, E. M.
Cooper and T. J. Baker. '
Three delegates and the same number of
alternates wer ? elected to represent the Asso?
ciation at Bennettsville next August, viz :
Col. J. J. Dargan, Col. H. E. L. Peebles and
Mr. H. H. Wilson as delegates and Messrs.
Peter MeL'ftt, J. R. Phillips and C. 0.
Wheeler as alternates.
A number of Clarendon fk^ers aPPlied for
admission, among whom were j?r- ^' ^'
White, Messrs. J. R. Griffin, L.H.DeScbaC.DSJ
J. W. Wells and J. J. Broughton. I
One hundred copies of the Constitution
were ordered printed as soon as it could be
conveniently done.
Bills for advertising were ordered paid.
A resolution of thanks to Dr. Auld for the
use of the Music Hall was unanimously
adopted.
Other matters were discussed, and after a
pleasant meeting the Commisse adjourned,.
Twenty-Five Pounds.
We saw a cabbage Saturday in front of Mr.
O'Connor's store that weighed 25 pounds and
measured over 4 feet across, (some of.the loose
leaves were attached to it.) It was raised by
R. M. Andrews from the Mammoth Marble
head variety.
P. S.-We have fallen heir to the big cab?
bage accompanied with a large mess of fine
potatoes. Andrews has gone into the truck
business and can supply vegetables to all
who need them, judging from the samples we
have received.

BISHOPVILLE, S. C., June 25, 1885.
Mr. Editor: The funeral services of Mrs.
J. Frierson Woodard, were conducted by the
Rev. Mr. Melton, at the Bishopville Methodist
Church, on yesterday morning ; after which
ber remains were taken to the burying ground
of the Church, near Wells'X Roads, for in?
terment. She leaves a husband and little boy
to mourn ber loss.
Our Doctors are kept busy attending the
sick of the neighborhood. Am glad to state,
however, that I hear of no very serious cases
of sickness at present.
Dr. Crane, whose house with most of its
contente was consumed by fire, some days
since, estimates his loss at about thirty-five
hundred dollars on which there was no in?
surance. The canse of the fire was a stove,
as is often the case of late.
We are beginning to need rain as it has
been nearly two weeks since any to speak of
fell in this section. The fair days and hot
sunshine has enabled nearly every one to
clean their crops of grass, and with a good
season, we would have good reasons for feel?
ing hopeful of a bountiful yield of all our field
crops. I do not remember to have seen crops
more promising for the time of year. L.
N. B. A nice shower of rain has fallen
since writing above.
BISHOPVILLE, S. C., Jone 29, 18S5.
There are five churches in Bishopville;
tbre'S belonging to the whites, and two to the
colored people-one of the former being lo?
cated a mile out of the '-city," but in Bishop?
ville.
Present prospecis of fine crops are very en?
couraging. The rains seem to come at the
right time, and in about the right quantity
to answer the end for which th&y are sent.
Doctors McLeod and Dennis are kept busy
looking after their patients, but they don't

Mr. Editor: Except for grass, crops are

did, "Grass he bin a mighty king, but tank
God, he can't rule always."
The second Quarterly Conference for Sumter
Circuit, was held at New Salem the 20th and
21st instant.
All our young folks are getting interested
in matters matrimonial ; for instance : at the
residence of Rev. L. A. White, on the 18th
June, Mr. Betts to Miss Quin Elmore, also at
the residence of the brides' father, on the 21st
June, by Rev. L. A. White, Mr. Frank Brown
to Miss Celia Driggers ; and on the 23d June,
at the residence of Rev. L. A. White, Mr. L.
A. White, Jr., to Miss Minnie McLeod. That's
pretty good for one neighborhood, isn't it?
I see in the Watchman and Southron of the
16th, a communication from Duggan saying
he would answer my question next week, that
he did not have time tuen. If Duggan will
put on bis specks and look in the W. $ S., of
the 9th, be will see that I never asked the
question at all.

MANNVILLE, S. C., June 29, 1885.
Mr. Editor: The report of the death of
Mrs. Reese Mathis, last week, was erroneous.
She is, however, quite sick.
We have had fine rains and on Friday
night while a thunder cloud was passing over,
Dr. E. G. McCutchen's carriage house was
struck by lightning and set on ?re. It was
discovered in time to prevent total loss, but
I suppose the damage to house, buggy, and
some baies of cotton which were stored in it,
will exceed $75. A turkey hen with her
brood were in a coop a few feet from a tree
which was also struck, but escaped injury.
The shafts to a buggy were shivered with no
other injury to it. N. A. T.

REMBERT'S, S. C., June 22, 1885.
Mr. Editor: If the present seasonable
weather continues, the farmers of Raftoa
Creek will, when crops are harvested be in a
most enviable condition. With a start to?
wards independence they will soon acquire
those principles which make men independ?
ent-economy and energy. The planters of
this section as wei! as others, have been badly
hacked by successive bad crop years, and some
of them have fallen behind financially, but if
the present crop proves a success it will pro?
duce a wonderfnl change for the better. That
tborongbgoing principle which has been so
marked a characteristic of our farmers in the
past will again come to the front and make
this section blossom like the rose.
I think we have the best and most valuable
lands io the County, and our cummunity
would be a paradise on earth if the Lord
should bless us with good seasons. But as
He established one paradise which resulted to
man's disadvantage, possibly it is the part of
wisdom not to make another attempt.
Mr. E. E. Rembert, son of our deservedly
popular physician, bas treated himself to an

Good for the Child.
The ailments of childhood need careful at?
tention and wise treatment. Some people
think "anything is good enough for a child,
and there isn't much the matter with it any?
how." But judicious mothers know better,

Va., does. She says : "I take Brown's Iron

most satisfactory results." Sold everywhere.

CARTER.01. CROSSING, June 26, 1885.
Mr. Editor : General Green has been in
command for some time, but with the aid of
fair weather we have conquered, at least we
are able to see victory just ahead.
We are beginning to want rain. Cotton ?3
not suffering, but corn and potatoes would be
better with a good shower. Having had good
seasons up to the present time, a drought
would prove fatal on c irn. Corn is not in?
jured at all yet, and as rain is passing, I hope
we will have plenty in due time.
I am glad to know that cur farmers are
turning their attention more to grain, and I
would suggest to them what I think a good
idea, that is to divide their land into three
different parts-say 30 acres to the horse.
Plant ten in corn, ten in cotton and ten in
oats and wheat. Change every year; plant
cotton after oat3, corn after cotton, oats after
corn. Sow our oat land after harvesting the
oats in peas, and gather enough peas to plant
the same the next year. Put all the manure
we can raise on our cotton, which will make
it produce at least one bale per acre, and then
put it in corn the next year, and it will make
good corn without any manure. By so-doing
we will improve our land. Some may think
that only putting manure on it every three
years will not improve it, but it will. A
heavy manuring will produce a big crop of
cotton ; the manure will not be exhausted,
and the leaves, burrs, stalks, &c, will help
?he laud, while that planted in oats will have
oat-stubble and pea-vines, which will be a
good coat of manure. So we see that our
land would improve, and one reason is we
will only have 20 acres to the horse to culti?
vate, which would give us more time to raise
manure. The trouble with most farmers,
they plant so much that they cannot manure
or work it properly. The result is our lands
grow poorer and poorer each year. I believe
that we can improve our lands so as to make
ourselves independent, by putting two-thirds
of our crop ingrain, and one-third in cotton,
we would make more cotton than we do; and
if our corn crop failed occasionally we would
still be independent in the way of feed.
I would be glad to take a trip to Mayesville
and take a look at the crops, but business be?
fore pleasure.
I reckon ? J?ad better stop for fear I have
worried your patience,

Dyspepsia Can be Cured.
There is perhaps no disease so prevalent as
dyspepsia or indigestion, and one too, that
up to the present lime, bas baffled the skill of
the most eminent Physicians. Two-thirds of
the chronic diseases have their origin in dys?
pepsia. The symptODS are loss of appetite,
loss of flesh, a feeling of fullness or weight io
the stomach, occasiooaly nausea and vomit?
ing, acidity, flatulence, dull pain in the head,
with a sensation of heaviness or giddiness,
irregularity of bowels, low spirits, sleepless?
ness, sallow skin, derangement of kidneys,
and not unfrequently palpitation of the heart.

Cure for Piles.
Piles are frequently preceded by a sense of
weight in the back, loins and lower part of
the abdomen, causing the patient to suppose
he has some affection of the kidneys or neigh?
boring organs. At times, symptoms of indi?
gestion are present, flatulency, uneasiness of
the 9tomac!i, etc. A moisture, like perspira?
tion, producing avery disagreeable itching,
after getting warm, is a common attendant.
Blind, Bleeding and Itching Piles yield at
once to the application of Dr. Bosanko's Pile
Remedy, which acts directly upon the parts
affected, absorbing the Tumors, allaying the
intense itching, and effecting a permanent cure.
Price 50 cents. Address, the Dr. Bosanko

W. Del.orme. o
