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. . Questions to Candidates.

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. Jas. B. RBMBBRT, Sec'y. ? J. A. Schwerin, having been prevailed upon by-the persistent solicitation of numeous friends, hereby offers Milk Shakes at 5 cents per glass. Bishop ville Items. 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? cess crown their efforts. P. Privateer Items. PaivATzrr., S. C., Aug. 10, 1886. 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 with leaves 2 feet by^lo'inches. ? There are a great many cases of sickness around here now., - \ , - Mr* Lawrence Geddings bas a child dan? gerously ill with brain fever. Mr. Mark Harvin of Sammy Swamp, is down with malarial fever; and there are other ?ases. Col. Reynolds, I am glad to know, is much better, being able to sit up. Little John Osteen is able to be lifted to a chair, after a confinement of twenty weeks to his bed without being able to move. Miss Fanny. Wilson is visiting her sister, Mrac Beckham. We are gratified that Col. Earle received the nomination for Attorney General on the the'first ballot: The State ticket gives satis? faction down here, though some of us would have preferred to see some one else, for Gov? ernor, and for' Adjutant and Inspector Gen? eral. DEW, i Providence Items. 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. Misses Lou and Margie Gaillard of Winns boro, (formerly of this place,) arc visiting friends and relatives here: also Miss E?es Moore, a late graduate of Charleston, will make this section ber permanent home. Dr. A. A. Sylvester, of Columbia, is visit? ing the family of his brother-in-law, Mr. VV. F. Wright. The latter's health is still very precarious.

Since last writing we have had some re? freshing showers, and cotton bas improved somewhat. I have been in some farms, asd find our townsmen, C. G. Rowland, Dr. Cor? bett and C. 0.

Not wi thslanding the . heavy rains in the Spring, and of course the grass which well nigh took our crops, at different times, yet we have very good corn and cotton. For several days we have been needing rain very much, and cotton bad commenced to suffer, but while I write the gentle rain is falling, and we feel safe. Mr. N. S. MeLeod takes the lead of the far? mers in this section. He bas 100 acres of as fine cotton as is generally seen ina place where the lands have been more improved than through this section._ The health of our community is most ex? cellent, as it is nearly always.
