Sumter Institute.
: We understand that Mrs. L. A. Browne of the
Sumter Institute, is in attendance as a pupil at
the Monteagle Chautauqua Assembly in Ten?
nessee. This Assembly, which is on the model
of the Chautauqua of New York, has become
in *e few years of its existence, the great
Chautauqua of the South, and promises much
greater things in the future. One of the main
features in this school- is the teaching of the
science and art of teaching, telling-what is to
j be educated, what is best: to be. taught and
the best methods of teaching. And all this is
: enforced by putting, it into practical opera?
tion. The child is put at its kindergarten
and the post-graduate st exercises and studies
suited to hts capacities. Each department is
; presided over by a master or mistress selected
' on the ground of proficiency, the whole
being swplerof.nted by lectures by the most
distinguished proie:>?oi?, scicuusUi,- scholars
and educators of the country. Indeed the
Chautauqua is the'environment of all that is
healthful and developing in a religious, moral,
intellectual and social aspect, under which
one may be more bene?tted' in a few weeks
than in years elsewhere.
Among the'distinguished persons at Mont?
eagle, we notice Dr. Vincent, the great origi?
nator of the Chautauqua, a man of varied
culture, extensive learning, great benevolence
and oX irresistible personal magnetism; Dr.
Carlisle of Wofford, the counsellor of the
Southern Chautauqua, whom we all know
and are proud of as primus inter pares of the
learned men of our country ; Dr. B. M. j
Palmer, the golden-tnou tbed preacher of New
Orkans* besides. ,oiher ,.di*tioguished^ name*-]
too^u me rods to mention. - - ,-*|
We feel assured that oar townswoman, who
is already so favorably known as a teacher,
will return from this mount of privilege to <
her work in the Fall with fresh inspiration
and increased efficiency.
Misa Sophie Hart, whose nama appears in
tbs advertisement of the Sumter Inst?late,
after her graduation from this school in the
class of 1881, and after spending one year in
teaching in a private school, went to the
Baptist College in Lexington, Mo., of which
her uncle, Prof. Lanneau, is president, in
order to perfect'herself as a teacher in art,
mathematics and modern languages, and, at
her graduation last June received three med- j
als as mark's of excellence. ' We will.welcome
her back to Sumter with the assurance that
her presence , will, add to the educational
at tra tiona "of our "town."
Smithville Items.
SMITHV?LLX, S. C., August 2, 1886.
Mr. Editor: The crops have improved some
in the last ten days, bnt are now needing rain
badly.- lt we don* t get some, shortly, will be
cat short again. Once- by rain, the other, by
dry weather.
A negro died here recently and as usual
was buried with much eclat. I am under tbe ,
impression that some of these people believe
their God to be very deaf.
Primary elections are not very popular
about here. Probably the people have enough
of whiskey-drinking, bull-dozing, box-combi?
nation in the interest of certain candidates at
primary elections, to want a convention to
nominate; composed of tbe best msn of Sum?
ter County. To say a ticket put forth by
such a body would not give satisfaction, and
that it could be controlled by a few nen 13 too
absurd to. discuss. Since we are to have
another primary, the candidates for tbe Legis*
latnre should formulate a platform on the
leading questions of tbe day, such as the lien
law, free tuition in the South Carolina Col?
lege and the Citadel Academy, lower taxa?
tion, repeal of the 2 mill tax for educational
purposes, tbe Columbia Canal, &c. Bj
stating their positions on such questions peo?
ple would then know who to vote for.
I wish "Woman" in last week's Watchman
and Southron bad told the* occupations she
believes will make girls "self-supporting and
thus self-respecting." Does she not know
that there is an unwritten law in the social
code of South Carolina which few will admit
and none can deny, that to move in genteel
society, a girl must steer as clear of anything
towards a support, like field work, as she
would a rattlesnake-all her accomplish?
ments to tbe contrary, notwithstanding?
That this sentiment is as rampant to-day as it
is false is only too true. The existeoce of this
false but pernicious law bas caused many a
oan to exert himself beyond reason, so his j
daughters can keep their fair hands, and keep I
clear of the fields,, thereby insuring a clear
passport into the society of the elite. Qui
Vive is no advocate of bard manual work for
woman. Unfortunately most of our women
have more of it to do than they are able in
the house-work oT the present day, but there
are instances where it does not take all to do
the housework. "In such cases, a young lady
should not be socially ostracized because she
has the energy and sees the need of contrib?
uting to the common support by boeing a
cotton patch around tbe house, or something
of that sort. But the knowing ones fear the
hoe in that way as they do the 3mall pox, for
they know the penalty.
There are bot two ways generally practiced
by genteel ladies for self-support, viz . teach?
ing school and sewing. Mr. Editor, the time
bas come by necessity when we will have to
turn round to keep our heads above water.
No doubt there are hundreds of young ladies
anxious and willing to do something for the
support of themselves an? families, but hold
back for fear of being eternally disgraced for
violating .the code. I hope the ladies will dis?
cuss this question. I regard it as one of
those problems that they best can solve and
wuk. ; ' -I,. QUI VIVE. .

Farmer's" Meeting. l~
SWIMMING PENS, Aug. 2, 1886. ?
Mr. Editor: Pursuant to a call of the gen?
tlemen appointed by Mr. H. R. Thomas to or?
ganize a Farmers' Club in this vicinity, the
farmers met July 31, at Bethel Cb arch. Mr.
A. S. Brown was called to the chair and Jas.
E. Kembert, Jr., requested to act as Secretary.
The chair explained the object of the meeting
after which an organization was made by
electing Maj. W. F. DesChamps, President ;
Capt. E. H. Holman, 1st Vice President ; Mr.
A. S. Brown, 2d Vice President, and Capt.
I T. D. DuBose, Secretary and Treasurer.
On motion of T. J. Baker, the following
I r?solution was adopted to wit :
! That we are Sa sympathy With Mr. Tinman,
only in so far as the interest of the Agricul?
turists of this country is promoted, but that
weare determined not to allow politics to
[ be discussed at our meetings.
" It was farther ordered that these resolutions
and the min .tes of this meeting be published
in the Watchman and Southron and that the
club will meet again at the same place, Satur?
day, August 14, in the P. M . at 3 o'clock.

BISHOPVTLLB, S. C., Aug. 6, 1886.
Mr. Editor: A match game of base ball*]
was played this evening, between the "Game?
cocks" and the Bishopville Club, on the
grounds of the latter. The game was called
at 4 o'clock, with Umpire Bradley at his post.
Nine innings were played, the Gamecocks
making scores as follows : ?th inning 1, 6ih
3, 7th 5 ; total 9. Bishopville, 1st inning 2,
3d 2, 4th 3, 5th 4, 7th 1 ; total 12. How
that for good playing ? The Gamecocks play?
ed well, but Bishopville played better. While
not disposed to boast of our team, we venture
to suggest to any club proposing to play them,
that it would be well for them to first
learn to play ball. The "Gamecocks" took
their defeat in good humor, and every thing
passed off pleasantly to all concerned. Quite
a crowd witnessed the game
Thus far Bishopville basmo candidates.
Crop prospects are i inproving some. About
two-thirds of an average crop will be made.
Rain is badly needed above Bishopville, very
little rain having fallen in that section since
the lOtb of Joly.
Mr. 0. C. Scarborough lost one of his horses
on yesterday, making three in the last month.
Two Of them were killed by careless negroes,
the other died from causes unknown. Nine
horses have died in this section recently from
various causes.
The Farmers are thinking of having a bar?
becue or picnic, sometime in the near future,.]
and inviting Messrs. Tilman, Thomas, and
others to address them. An effort is again.be?
ing made to build a house and establish a
high school at or near Bishopville. May suc?

We boped for rain every day last week ;
every0noming we expect rain at any mo?
ment, but by noon thc clouds have disappear?
ed and the sun shines out hot all the after?
noon. Cotton is needing it now very much.
Until a few days ago it was doing finelj, but
if the weather continues dry much looger the
hopes that arose when the rains ceased, will
be dispelled again ; and, I fear, for the rest of
this season.
I have seen the crops in different parts of
the township lately, and was agreeably sur?
prised to see several fine corn crops and some
good cotton.
Capt. J. E. Burns* tobacco crop is very
fine. He bas ten thousand hills in one patch,
and a fourth of it is about fonr feet high

PROVIDENCE, S. C., Aug. 3, 1886. *
Mr. Editor : Our section was blessed with
a copious shower recently of which we stood
in hnioent need.
Cotton weed is smaller at this season than
usual, but it is fruiting well, and luxuriant.
Most of the farmers took advantage of the late
drouth and succeeded in destroying the grass
we have been throwing from one base to the
other of our cotton beds during the rainy
series. The corn and pea crops are fine.
I notice the political pot is getting on a
boiling heat, and also observe that not many
of the former delegates are returned to the
State Convention, which points to a new deal.
The Quarterly Meeting convened at Bishop?
ville, embracing the 4th Sunday and con?
tinued through the following week. Rev.
A. J. Stokes was in attendance, and delivered
some instructive and highly interesting truths.
Rev. Mr. Elwell discharged his duty, literally
picturing the lost condition of man in lan?
guage that was thrilling. Much interest was
shown, and many made application for mem?
bership. The Sabbath School Celebration
was quite a success. The Tirzah Sunday
School united and all seemed to enjoy the
day.
Mr. J. R.Phillips, the Superintendent, com?
menced the exercises with an encouraging
speech to thc children and was followed by
the different classes with appropriate recita?
tions. The regular exercises for invited
speakers were theu begun. Mr. W. A.
Wright was introduced and addressed the au?
dience on Sabbath School privileges, followed
by Rev. J. J. Myers on the duty of Parents
to Sunday School. Rev. Mr. Mims gave un
instructive speech, and Col. W. D. Scar?
borough also entertained us with some inter?
esting remarks.
Dinner being announced the exercises ad?
journed until afternoon. A sumptuous din?
ner, presided over by an obliging committee,
and their worthy chairman, Mr. T. P. Kilgo,
being over, the programme wasagaio resumed
and concluded with an amusing little speech
from ourpro6cient teacher, Prof. J. P. Gibbes
in his happiest style.
We also had the pleasure of listening to a
few appropriate remarks from Messrs. J. T.
Wilder and W. P. Smith, of Sumter. The
audience was very large and the day was all
that one could desire with the exception of
being rather warm.
