The Eclectic College. /Q?r readers will tee the card of this Insti? tution ia another column. This school can? not point to the past as jet, bot it is very confident of the rotare ; ?od after all, that is of the more consequence. We cordially co no mead this new enterprise to the school pat? rons of Sumter and surrounding Counties. The principals ?re two of the most successful teachers ia Sumter, and there is no reason why their ?access ia their individual efforts in the past, should not be increased in their corporate capacity. The assistants have already given promise of good work in their chosen field, ?nd the prospects ?re bright for - a brilliant campaign. The Sumter High School. We regret to inform the patrons of the Som ter High School that Mr. Alex. C. Dick bas withdrawn from bis connection with the ?bore institution, having decided apon some other work in life thoa that of teaching. It gives os no little pleasure to announce, how? ever, that the position be vacates will be well filled by Prof. A. C. McIntosh of Taylorsrille, N. C. He comes to us with the very best recommendations, baring been graduated from Davidson College in 1831 with the high? est honor of his class ; and bas been engaged ia the work of teaching ever since. . A suitable building, we understand, has been secured, ?nd the school will be fully equipped for successful work at the time an? notated for itt opening. : Another Hackman.

A foo br?ese, glorious surf, good beach, and au appetite for three good square meals & day are some of its attractions. To these we may add reasonably good fishing, an un? limited quantity of shrimps, clams, oysters and crabs, a deer hunt once a week at least, and no " mosquitoes or sand lies to torment with, their music and bites. As to draw? backs, the place is somewhat difficult of access, and boating accommodations are lim? ited, ? To those who stand in need of rest for body or mind, we can imagine no more delightful . haven of refuge toan ti is tittle islaaa>~llts health-giving climate and delightful bathing give tone and strength to worn out humanity. Those whoso appetites are gone and whose nights are wakeful are surprised after a few days stay, at the wonderful change in those j two items. Bed time and meal times are sure of a wann welcome, thanks to the tonic of salt water and pure air. The island is on the broad Atlantic, about twelve miles above Georgetown. It is two or three wiles long and about two hundred yards wide, and separated from the main laud by a marsh through which flows a shal? low, tide water creek. The Western side is covered with a dense growth of small live oak and other trees, and it tojo this narrow belt the houses are built. Between it and the beach is a ridge of high saud bills which affords the necessary protection to the timber. The well water, strange to say, is remarkably good, giving no hi?t of its proximity to the saltwater. . The Sumter tourists who visited Pawley's during the last few* weeks, ref urned home with many pleasant recollections of that place. The weather frowned on them some? what; Easterly winds and rain squalls inter? fered with their sports, but they learned enough of the island to know what it was under tts normal conditions^ Tbe bathing is unsurpassed and really unsurpassable. The long, smooth, gently sloping beach is all that one could desire, while at high or low tide the surf is ever ready for the bather. Deep sea fishing is very fine. The quantity caught ic favorable seasons, is limited only by the endurance of the fishermen and the capacity of their boat. Fishing in the creek a few yards from the boarding house is sometimes very good, and when tired of hook and line the seine will always bring in a large number of the finny tribe, interspersed wt tb an occa? sional stingaree and dog fish. *~Mrs. LaB'ruce who keeps the only board tag house on the Island, is most kind as a hostess, and ber Sumter guests all lett her well kept bouse and beautiful table with re? gret. Capt. Stoney, of the boat "Fearless." comes io for a snare of thanks, and the Messrs. LaBruce, Mr. Mary ck, MK Heller and others laid tbe Sumter folks auder many obligations for their kindness. And then there aro several yoong ladies towards whom very tender recollections flow out from the hearts of some of the Sumter boys, but we cao not call names in this connection. Pawley's Island could be made a most at? tractive Sommer resort. Its nearness to Sumter adds to our interest in its develop? ment. Literary and Musical. A very interesting meeting of the Stateburg Literary and Musical Club was held at the residence of Dr. J. C. Spann, the President, on the evening of the 13th inst. The selec? tions taken were from favorite authors, an-J the participants showed that they had given their subjects no inconsiderable attention. Both tbe Sumter and Columbia Bais were represented ; the former by Messrs. Wilson and Harby ; the latter by Mr. Reynolds. Although it was a source of great disappoint? ment to the society that Maj. Wilson had un? avoidably been prevented from preparing tbe address that was expected, still the society was well compensated for their disappoint? ment by Maj. Wilson's reading a most beauti? ful and touching piece om Paul Hayne. Mr. Harby, who had been a listener up to this time, had DO idea that he would be the next to be called oo, but as usual, he was equal to the emergency. This young lawyer display? ed his declamatory powers very creditably on the "Sword of Lee." Mr. Mark Reynolds, tbe Columbia representative of tbe Bar, dis? played maxk(ed) ability as a dec?a i m er. The musical part of tbe entertainment was not without its charms. Mrs. Dr. J. C. Spann contributed to the pleasure of the evening, one of her most beautiful and diffi? cult instrumental pieces. Next in order was a solo from each of Misses Anderson and Burgess. Tbese soloists held the club spell? bound until the end when each received an ovation of applause. After this the reports of tbe treasurer, Miss Rees, and Miss Ander? son, tbe secretary, were made. This beiDg the end of the meeting the society adjourned, after which they retired to the dining ball where, refreshments were served abundantly and in elegant style. After this the rest of the evening was spent in terpsichorean amuse? ment. Tbe beauty and loveliness of the neighborhood was out in full bloom. It was not long before tbe members began tbeir homeward journey, feeling assured that they had spent a most delightful evening. Thus ended one of the most pleasant entertaimeuts of the season. ? J. A. Schwerin bas frozen Milk Shakes ele? gantly flavored. Come and try one at 5 cents per glass. _ _ THE PBATT GIN. Mr. R. F. Hoyt is still sole agent for the Pratt Gio in Sumter County and will be pleased to take orders from farmers in want of same. The Pratt Gin is so well and so widely known from its excellent qualities that no words are needed to recommend it. The farmers already know that it is the best gin sold. -ALSO The Peerless Engines, made by tbs Geiser Manufacturing Co., Presses aod other ma? chinery. Cal! and see him for anything needed. Ramsay Items*. RAMSAT, August Is*, 1*85, Mr. Editor : Our ?raters are abo? tferettgh with their fodder. Cotton is oneorag. Tbe corn crop is short? eettsn only so-so. Sev? eral horses bare died whb blind staggers, and Mr. 6. P. Ar?is has one now sick. Mr. W, E. Kolb got tbs end of -one of his fingers mashed off, one night last week. Mr. W. L. Brewer's little daughter was badly scalded a few days ago. Mr. W. R. Lackey has had a rery sick daughter, and one of Mr. L. B. Lackey's daughters came near breaking her leg lately. Politics ? are quiet. I hear there is to be a political picnic, next Friday, 19tb, just across the line iii Clarendon, at Col, Reynolds' mill. Whether Peg was correct or not about the "Dew" and grass in the Spring, very certain I it is that we hare had plenty of the latter. Tell Duggan that I am ready with "Lenox" and "Leander," whenever he calla, and Peg says he is prepared to join the chorus. How? ever, I do not think Duggan will preach "Dew's" funeral soon, for any man who thinks be can masticate a dry "Jaw" and a wooden "Peg" onght to live as long as that old man of 969 years. Carolina. Lodge I. 0. G. T. had a public installation of officers at Greenland Savannah School House on the evening of the 14th instant, by Lodge Deputy R. J. Kolb. The following are the officers : C. T., R.

The audience was large and was addressed by Rev. J. N. Brown. JAW. . -MSJ ? ? SS? No Tribulations This Time. MT. CLIO, S. C., Aug. 14, 1886. Mr. Editor: We've been travelling since our last. (Ts that so? Ed.) Been to the Springs too, though you didn't see f?t to pub? lish us among your big names. Well, we got a good drink all the same and didn't cost anything either, and dipper furnished free. We drove oar well known thorough bred mare mule; passed through a number of Townships and ascertained some facts which we will retail to yon as cheap as our spring water. The crops are very much better than we bad anticipated. Passing through portions of Swimming Pens, Lynchburg, Maj es vii le, Mt. Clio, Bisbopville, Carters Crossing, Spring Hill and Providence, we noted fine crops of both corn and cotton on divers places. The latter plant bas a healthy appearance, and is carrying more fruit now than at this time last year? The owners of crops above referred to are farmers who take no stock in Messrs. Till? man k Co., yet are firm believers in a farmer's movement, ?. e. a brisk movement upon their farms, and they'll "fight it out on this iine if it takes all Summer" and all tbe year. They speak cheerfully and hopefully and hospita? bly, and don't seem tobe particularly bother ered with woes. -The locality of the wo-bur dened farmer can generally be detected by a glance over tbe fence. Indeed a glance at the fence is sufficient. Everything looks kinder wo-ish. "Wo," must have had the same effect on bim that it bas on my thorough bred mare. But we don't say "Wo" at such a place. Don't want to bear him talk. In fact be ain't at borne. Hardly ever is now. Gone to Seek after a "movement." When there shall no movement be given unto bim bot tbe movement of tbe cotton factor, who will be a Jonah unto him in that day when there shall be failing and smashing of things. Hes. 1-20. We had thought of paying you that X cash down-in hay-in tba fall, and insert our Ad., but don't you do it. You can't warrant the blamed'thing anyway, and we've found ont that these candidates are not pious, they are a batch of miserable sinners. Their sins of omission and commission have heretofore been past finding out, but they are now all discovered. Some are much worse than others. Depends on which Precinct you are in. Some of the very worst of these sinners will probably be among the elect, and some of the better will not be saved on the day of tbe Primary. We are thus led to believe there's not much religion in politics. Well we but we'll condense for the present. GUV. P. S.-We know you'll be pleased to know that Mayesville is doing a noble work in tbe interest of temperance. It is furnishing an anti-whisky compound far more efficacious than the Patent advertised article. Cheap too, 20 cents worth is enough. We've beard of more than one who took the dose and in a few honra afterwards they wanted only water. They could take that but they could'nt keep it. The vilest drunkard would soon commet/ce to wish that tbe man who in? vented the still to still that whisky (?>-bad been still-born, or still unborn. We unwil? lingly took a fraction of a swallow some week or ten day? since; are now convalescing. __ _ G. Poor Farmer Heard From. CARTERS CROSSING, Aug. 10, 1886. Mr. Editor : I am not in half tbe tro able about the Mason Harvester,-aryou might sup? pose ; T>?cius?T~doo't believe it will ever be a success. I am more troubled at present about tbe short crop that we are making. This year has tried the souls of the farmers. We have had rain and gras3 from the 20th of May, nntil some time back, and all that we could do was to move it from one place to another, and it is so well disposed that it will Hye any where you put it, even on stumps. Some are making little over half crops, while others are nut making more than one third of a crop. Those who failed to keep their grass moving are not going to make mucb. Com crops are very good, nod peas are promising. There is a g jo? deal said concerning farm? er's clubs ; some are opposed, while others favor them. Like the boy the calf ran over, I haven't much to say : but if politics is tbe object, I think it had better be let alone. As for this Tillman move, it won't do. I think Tillman is trying to make a tool of the farm? ers for selfish interests. As for an Agricul? tural College, in my opinion it won't do. I hare seen book farmers before now who thought ''tbey knew it all,' ' and I never knew one yet but made a failure. So it would be if we had an Agricultural College. The best Agricultural College for boys, is behind the plow going by the instruction of a father who knows how to farm. While education is very desirable, I don't think it essential in mak? ing good farmers. If the farmers would form clubs and have regular meetings and discuss the modes of farming, get new ideas, put all the good ones together, and leave off thc bad, I think we might profit thereby. But in the first place plant less, manure and culti? vate better and pay less wages for day labor. Dav labor is the same as when cotton was worth 15 cents and bacon 18, and a hand can boy as much bacon DOW for one days work as be could then for two. POOR FARMER. New Papers. The Star is a brand new Charleston even? ing daily paper published by J. A. Selby k Co. at $5.00 per annum. In its salutatory it says : "Tbe paper is put forthwith tbe firm belief that the grand old 'City by the Sea,' with ber 62,000 inhabitants ia able and willing to give cordial and hearty support to a sprightly evening publication as weil as to a first class morning journal. In politics it is sufficient to say thnt we are allied to Democracy, pure and unadulterated." Our best wishes to the Star, Charleston should have two dailies to keep matters from becoming monotonous. The Horry Herald, published at Conway S. C., is a uew candidate for public favor. The initial number is a creditable effort, and the whole paper printed at borne- Mr. E. Norton is the editor. He says in salutatory that if the paper is worthy of support it should be bestowed ungrudginly ; if not, \)\en procure one more suited to your taste. A Trip to Mayesville. PRIVATEEB, S. C., Aug. 9, 1886. Hating some work ia the line of the Salem flour mills, I went to kaye*??Ile last Monday. I noticed toot the crop j along the road after passing Sumter were very poor. In Mayes Tille I saw several fine lots of cotton and corn. . I found the mills of Capt. Atkins first class in every respect. Instead of a wheat crop of less than 500 bushels for the County, 1 wish the crop exceeded 5.000 bushels. Capt. Atkins has complete flour machinery, and turns out a high grade of flour. In addition, he has a feed mill and cotton seed crusher, saw mill, planing mill, and bracket sajr, all turning out good work. I have forgotten some of the various machines for saving labor, all driven by a big engine and boiler that was built in 1863, but is still better than some of the newer engines that claim perfection. I must not forget the grist mill, and cotton gins; one 70 saw and two 60 saw 'Daniel Pratt' gins make the ginning of a bale of cotton the work of a few minutes. I have seldom seen better facilities for handling cotton. I visited the farm of Capt. Atkins, and I found that he is one of the few farmers who oversees his own farm and "boards at home." H is corn is the best average crop of its size that I have seen. He plants a little more than half as much cotton as coro, and uses no commercial fertilizer. The cotton was not large, but well fruited. The Captain bas a great many "irons in the fire" but manages to keep them all from burning. He expects to try the manufacture of tobacco this Fall. His energy and shrewd business capacity bespeak success in whatever he undertakes. I feared the "blind tigers" when 1 first got there, but in company with Capt. A. and Mr. B. I looked around at the "sights of the town without even bearing a growl. I called to make Duggan's acquaintance, but his reverence being a good judge of the weather, and seeing that the indications were for a big "dew," had prudently withdrawn to the country for the day. Dsw. A Little too Much Dew. MANNVILLB, S. C., Aug. 9, 1886. Mr. Editor: What is the matter with "Dew." Poor fellow, he seems to have workr ed himself op into an ugly humor lately, by the way in which he gives vent to his wrath. He draws his sword, cuts and slashes all around in such a malignant manner that one would be very apt to suppose that he had been suffering from an attack of nightmare or some other disappointment, and while trying to repose upon his peaceful couch, must have had visions of farmers carrying banners with the words "clap-trap and bumbuggery" ia- : scribed thereon, when lo, and behold ! an awful vision did appear before him: Men, furious looking, horned men, thirsting for blood and ready to gore to the very death these same old clap-trap and humbug farmers and pitch.them over the fence; and still an? other vision appeared] unto him, he sees a ring-streaked and speckled piece of paper with the names of gentlemen upon it who were delegated to be sent afar off on an hon? orable expedition. It being in the stillness of the night, be was almost certain he saw "Dew" on that same paper. Still another vision cometh up befora bim. He sees the horned men and the claD-trap hombuggery farmers all sitting peacefully together io a distant hall ; one man arises and reads aloud the carnes of the gentlemen on that ring streaked and speckled piece of paper, wheo lo, and behold! it was perfectly dry, not ooe particle of "Dew" upon it. Just at that moment it would appear that he awakened from his disturbed slumbers and arises from his couch on the wrong side, performs his toilet, looks around, takes in the situation and imagines be sees the Tillmnnites about to prepare a college for educating the girls, then be looks in the glass and sees a "farmer's ghost," gets ia an awful rage and wants to gore something ; snatches up his pen and makes a lunge at the sweet, innocent girls, intimates that all the education they deserve, bless them, is what they can get at tbe cook pot and wash tub. Young ladies, and moth? ers, turo your back upon and give the cold shoulder to the man that would dare to eu tertaiu such sentiments, and my word for it, 'Dew" would soon dry up; ARTEMAS. Go to J. A.
