it, where it had the advantage of careful cul?

That Pledge-A Kew Departure
for the Democracy.
Mr. EditorIn the "Regulations for Pri?
mary Elections" put forth by thc authority of
the Democratic Executive Committee of Sum?
ter County, the XI Article reads thus, "Before
being permitted to cast a vote, each person
shall take in good faith the following pledge :
I solemnly affirm that I am an enrolled mem?
ber of this club, that I have not voted before
at this election and that I will support the
ticket nomioated at tbisPriniary election. A
refusal to take this pledge, or any part of the
sane, shall be a good aground of challenge
and rejection." j3;r
Does not that pledge bind each voter to
Mipport tbe whole ticket at the general elec?
tion no matter what may be the composition
of that ticket ?
If there is a nominee on the ticket who he
believes is incomp?tent or unfit from any
canse to fill the office sought, must not the
humble voter "for the oath's sake''' still vote
for that nominee?
. Should be vote a "scratched ticket" will
it not still be counted as a whole ticket by the
Managers of election ?
If these q';e>?ir*is must rrcive fffirms'iv*?
ttoswcts, is there not involved in them a seri?
ous infringement upon one's inalienable right
of free suffrge-an infringement so serious as
to prevent some Democrats in the County
from voting at all ? It looks so.
It is believed there is more thnn one man in
Sumter County to-day who will not stultify
himself by taking a bliud pledge.
A VOTER.
The Greeley ville Explosion.
CAMDEN, S. C., Aug. 29, 1886.
Mr. Editor: Being sent to Greeleyville, on
some business Wednesday, the day after the
terrible explosion of tbe boiler of Mr. S. C.
Hogan's mi?, I somehow have been so im?
pressed with the situation of this affair and that
it might be interesting to the readers of your
valuable paper to bav* a detailed account of
same, I will try and give it to you in as short
form as I can.
Greeleyville is a small place on the Central
R. R., io the sou th-western portion of
Williamsburg Co. On the day of this terri?
ble affair, Mr. S. C. Hogan was running his
saw himself, and for amusement was trying
to saw logs faster than his brother-in-iaw,
Mr. Willie Boyle, could bring them in on the
cars from the woods. About 10 o'clock,
Tuesday 24th, Mr. Boyle, engineer of the lo?
comotive, had just returned with a car load
of logs. He stepped off his engine and Mr.
Hogan met bim on tbe log bed,and tbey were in
conversation when the explosion took place.
It is thought that the water got below the
crown sheet of the boiler, and Mr. Hutson,
the lumber inspector, noticing that tact, at
once turned on the inspirator which rushed
cold water into an overheated boiler, gene
ratiog steam fastet than it could be exhausted
and hen re the explosion. When it took place j
the larger part of the boiler with dome and
safety valve, picked Mr. Hogan op on one
end, cutting off one leg where he was stand?
ing, and revolving dropped the other leg,
bojlh arm3 and head as it passed along in tbe
air.
It struck the ground, cutting anew cross
tie in two, and rising again hit a large pine,
passicg through a shaiity where a white
woman and three children, were living, com?
pletely demolishing it. lt tore up the earth
on'the other side for some distance. The dis?
tance from the place of explosion to where this
large piece of boiler is now resting is 125
yards. A piece of tbe boiler took Mr.
Willie Boyles bead off. Mr. Smith*? and Mr.
Hutsoo's bodies were terribly mangled with
ragged edges of tbe boiler. Mr. Bradshaw
was only a visitor to the Mill. He was seated
on a log on tbe other side of the Mill near the
R. R., and a piece of boiler took his bead off.
Bob Boyd was under the mill shed-a colored
boy was also killed. I found Mr. Willie
Campbell, book-keeper, of Mr. Hogan's busi?
ness very kind and attentive to me indeed, b;it
seemed demoralized over the affair. Messrs.
Varner & Taylor, merchants of Greeleyville
with all others I met seem to have gloom
depicted on their faces.
I was kindly entertained while in Greeley?
ville, by Mrs. and Mrs. Varner, and any
one who will be so fortunate *-s to visit their
home will find as kind hospitality as any
where in the State.
A gentleman informed me that Mrs. Hogan
wonld soon be ?xe? up and thought the mill
would be operating .13 before.

Questions for the Candidates.
Mr. Editor: Various questions are being
put to candidates offering for the different
county offices, to ascertain their views, aad
"where they stand," in relation to subjects
interesting and important to the public.
These question? inviting answers, look for?
ward te purposes- and^resu-1ts, experimental,
financial and remedial, which may or may
not favorably affect the welfare of the people
at large, and, except in one instance, only,
nothing ?3 proposed, looking to the moral
and social advancement of our people.
To supply this omission, many /oters of
this, as well as other counties, in our State,
ac? anxious to know the sentiments and
proposed course of action of those who seek
public favor and election at this time,
and especially those who aspire to the
position of Legislators, upon the subject,
more than all others,, so full of interest to
the p?wents and'friend's of the youth of our
County ?nd State,, and to the Christian, and'.
the conservative portion of society generally,
viz : the Prohibition of the Liquor Traffic.
.We therefore request you will favor us by
admitting this communication to your col?
umns with these questions to the candidates
now offering for election to our county offi?
ces, at the ensuing election :
Do you favor licensing the sale of intoxi?
cating liquors in Sumter County, or do you
favor its abolition. Do you favor the prora?
tion of the manufacture and sale of intoxica?
ting liquors as a beverage throughout these
United States, or do jou favor the continu?
ance of this gigantic evil which multiplies
drunkards, paupers, criminals, misery, want,
and degradation, for all who come under its
influences.
We want answers to thc above-we want
to know how to vote for the best interests
of ourselves and families, and our fellow citi?
zens. SUMTER COUNTY.

MANNTILLE, August 27, 1886.
Mr. Editor : I have delayed writing for
some time because of press of business, but it
' may be interesting to some of your readers
for me to give a few dots from our
neighborhood. Crops are much better than
we anticipated when we were having such
heavy rains. God has blessed us abundantly,
af we will make good use of the blessings in
living economically acd in giving back to
him, but I fear that some who profess to be
Christians even, will let some of it go into
the coffers of him who deals out destruction
and ruin to human souls. Oh I if the pro?
fessing Christians would take a decided stand
against strong drink, what a change there
would be in a few years. I heard a promi?
nent professor of religion say not long since
that if it was put to vote he would vote
against prohibition. What a responsibility
some men are willing to take?
We had the pleasure of having Mfss Fannie
Pack with us recently. She gave a very in?
teresting entertainment at Bethany Baptist
Church, last Tuesday night, 24th instant.
The entertainment was given io the interest
of Forman Univer?ity, and consisted of read?
ing, recitation and singing ;'ud was apprecia?
tive to all.
We hope that some impressions were made
which will not soon be forgotten. Rev. D.
C. Hardin announced at the conclusion that
he was making ai effort to raise money
enough to buy Miss Pack a new organ, as her
old ooe was about worn out, and it is hoped
that he will be successful, for the object is a
very worthy one.
I was present at the opening of the cam?
paign in Bishopville and heard the different
candidates express their views on the general
topics of the day, and I think the result of
the election will convince some of them that
their views are not in accord with the masses
of the people's views, especially in reference
to the South Carolina College. ATER.

Corbett's Mill Items.
MASKVILLE, S. C., Aug. 23, 1836.
Mr. Editor: Last Tuesday week, lightning
struck the bouse of Messrs. Reynolds and
Ford who are keepiog bachelors' hall near
here. It first struck a tree in the yard, then
the door facing, and following a sleeper
across the room, knocked two plank from the
sued room. Mr. J. M. Colvin was writing
near the door. It broke the chair in which
he was sitting and knocked Colvin senseless.
The lightning struck him on the left side, ran
down hts leg and tore his shoe into pieces.
It also struck Mr. Ford on the leg below the
knee. Mr. Reynolds was on the bed and was
unhurt. Ford and Coivin are all righi again
but arenot anxious for another tussle with
the lightning.
We have a Pos-.. Office here now, the route
running from Camden to Corbett's Mill and
serving two offices-one at Antioch named
"Antioch," and the one here named "Iola."
As soon as the bonds are approved and a
mail carrier appointed we will be all right.

Mt S.on Literary Celebration.
Written by Request.
The Second Annual Entertainment of the
Mt. Zion Literary Association came off on
Friday night, the 27th instant, at the sum
I mer residence of Mrs. Wm. Cooper. Her
j spacious parlors were filled with the elite of
Mt. Zion, besides a number of invited guests
from a distance.. A distinguished gentle?
man agreed with me that fully two hundred
persons were lhere.
Mr. Geo. McCotchen the President of the
Association, gave an interesting account of
its organization, a little more than a year
ago. Beginning with eight mern bers it has
grown in favor until its membership is
now sixty-three. Once a week during the
Summer tbe club meets at the residence of
some member, and an evening is pleasantly
and profitably spent with readings, recita?
tions and music, aod in social intercourse.
He ended by extending in behalf of the club, a
hearty welcome.
The following programme will show the
range of subjects : Chorus : "The Sleigh
ride," by six gentlemen and six ladies, (Miss
Floride Cooper at the organ,) was well ren?
dered, and prepared the appreciative audi?
ence for the treats to follow.
Declamation : "The Polish Boy," by Mr.
Harry Shaw, sbowed careful study, and ease
rarely attained by one ont of public life.
Instrumentalsolo: "Sonatina," by Miss
Willie Cozby was enchantingly beautiful.
The first Charade, "Antidote," was fault?
lessly played; and admirably showed ibo
effects of tbe imagination on the physical
health, as well as mental condition.
Miss Jeuoy Wilson's recital of "Curfew" j
was superb, lt was in my opinion, the piece '
of the evening.
"Birdies' Ball," a song with chorus, by
ten lovely little girls, was bewitchingly pret?
ty ; especially the chorus, through which they !
danced four figures.
Declamation: "South Carolina" by Mr. I
Hamilton Cooper was fairly well done.
The second charade, "Madcap," was at:- |
mirably placed, until near the close some of
the preparations were deficient. In the first
act Misses Marie Crane and Maggie L-tCoste, I
and Messrs. R. M. Wilson, Chas. Plowden
and Walter Green covered themselves with
glory.
The Misses McCutchen played a fine instru?
mental duet.
Mr. Jos. Cooper's declamation, "The
Phantom Host" made our memories go back to
"the days that tried men's souls."
Insolo: "Uriliiant Polka" was well ren
j dered by Miss Allie Cosby-;
Miss WillieCozby's "Three Eiocution Les
? sons" was the most laughable recitation of
j the evening.
The third charade, "The Manager," had
j some amusing scenes and incidents ; but not
' until the "Manager" was found in the per?
son of Mr. Hamilton Cooper, did the fun
really begin. .Mr. Cooperlook off the "swell
dede" to perfection. Mi?s Melle McCutcben's
application for a position in his theatrical
troupe was amusing ; but the house was
"brought down" whet) Mr. R. M. Wilson, as
"Junmhan Clodhopper," applied.
Vocal Solo : "The Dove," was sweetly
sung by Miss Hallie Cooper. This completed
the programme, and all engaged in social
pleasures until 'he "wee sma' " hours.
"Dright the lamps shone o'er fair women
and * * * * " Two hun?
dred hearts beat happily * * * *
And all went merry as a marriage bell."
Where all did so well, it will not do to
call name?; "but, li?te the newspapers,
J must be allowed to violate the
rule. It is said that the Wjihost attain?
ment of art, is the hiding of arl iiself."
This was attained by Miss Maggie La Coste
and Mr. Robt. Mayes, in the first charade, and
by Misses Maggie Shaw ??nd Stelle Cooper in
the last charade, aw-d others nearly reached
it in different par??.
The entertainment as a whole would have
done credit to a town of some size. One
short year ago, who dreamed of the latent
talent waiting for development in this com?
munity? With such results in liiis rinme, \
confidently look forward to higher attain?
ments in the future; and believe these annual
entertainments will be handed down as the
heritage of Mt. Zion's children.
Her mrtgriificent highways, with fertile
farms on either side, dotted with comfortable
arklf tasty homes, where culture, refinement-,.
and?hospitality abound, make Mt. Zion one
of tbe most attractive neighbor.hoo<ls in South?
Carolina. E. W. D-.
Privateer Items.
PRIVATEER, S. C , Aug. 27, ]886.
A good rain fell on a portion of the town
ship last week ; it will greatly help the cot
ton that has not stopped growing.
I think the cotton will yieldabout80 percent,
of an average crop, bnt only about 60 per cent.
of a full crop. Since 1880 we have had only
one full crop of cotton, that of'82; these
short crops have materially reduced the
average so that the present crop rates higher
than it would were it the first short one.
Our corn is pretty short, but for the last
two years there has beena surplus of corn
made in Privateer; and I think the present
crop can be made to last by judicious usiUg
and planting largely of small grain this Fall,
and early peas next Spring, just here allow
me to cal! attection to rye ag a safe crop for
winter grasing and early forage. Planted in
September or October on rich land, it will
furnish good pasturage from January until
the natural grasses come out. ?f needed for
forage, by keeping stock off, it Will do to cut
with cradle by April 1st, or earlier with
mower, one bushel per acre is sufficient, and
Southern Black is the only kind that succeeds
with us. It is indestructible; thermometer
at zero, and soil frozen a foot deep, does not
hurt it.
Potatoes are good. Gardens tolerable.
Fruit has been very faulty this season.
Mr. J. J Geddings' sons have a fine patch
of tobacco.
"Jaw's" "political picnic at Reynold's
Mill" did not' "picnic" "worth a cent," and
even Mackey's soda water and lemonade did
not pay expenses.
Politics are qnietj but if any one wants to
get into a little excitement just go down into
Clarendon.
Miss E. W. Brearley, of Mt. Zion, Miss
Mattie Tindal, of Clarendon, Miss Cattie
MeLaurin, of Wedgefield, and Miss Eva
Nettles, of Foresten, are visiting in the neigh?
borhood. DBW.

The'soil-Call.
In every military encampment, at sunrise,
a roll of all the names of the members of each
company is called by the orderly sergeant.
Beginning with Allen Adaire he goes down
the list to Zaccheus Z?igler; all present call
out'here 1'and are so entered. If no response
is heard, an inquiry is instituted and absent
ones are in some way located, when the order?
ly sergeant turns and salutes the captain, who
is awaiting the result, and reports 'All pres?
ent or accounted for !'
In the office of two Philadelphia physicians
there is a roll of patients who answer by
letter each three weeks lo the call of the roll
of their nam?3. In the list are hundreds
from every State and Territory, heginning
with Alabama and ending with Wiscoosiu
and Wyoming. Theee patients' reports are
very curious in the minutia of their details.
An interesting feature is the emphasis of
gratitude expressed for being cured, in many
cases the patient having -amy been led to try
treatment by these physicians, after every
other resource, had proved fruitless. The
name given to this treatment is 'Compound
Oxygen,' aud if yon would like to learn more
