Meeting of the Democratic JSxecu
tire Committee.
The Executive Cemmittee met yesterday,
tn the Engine Halt, at 11 o'clock, to canvass
the Vote east by the varions clubs, at the
Primary Election, held Saturday, 11th in?
stant.
The Chairman was absent and the Yice
Cbairman, Hr. Altamont Moses, having been
a candidate 'before the Primary, requested Mr.
F. J. Mayes to preside.
The roll was called and nineteen clubs re?
sponded, and the committee proceeded to
business.
Mr. E. F. McCutchen of Carters Crossing, in
view of the closeness of the vote between the
third and fourth highest candidates for Coun?
ty Commissioner moved that the entire vote
for that office be le-canrasa&i but the motion
was laid on the table, with understand?
ing that it could be renewed in relation to
any box about which any reasonable uncer?
tainty existed. The canvass of the returns then
commenced and proceeded, giving the results
Bet forth in the tabulated statement published
in another column. When the Providence
box was reached the member from that club
stated that two voters had been challenged
because of non-membership, but that their
ballots-had been counted. On motion the
Executive Committee over-ruled the action of
the managers, and the two votes were taken
from the returns, which were still further
changed by the correction of a clerical error
in the tally sheet. Four votes had been chal?
lenged at Springhill because of refusal to take
the oath. The challenge was over ruled and
the votes counted. Three votes at the same
box for County Commissioner, written
"Durant" had been marked scattering, be?
cause of the fact that two Durants were on
the list of candidates. A protest was made
by a member of the committee who claimed
that the vote should be counted for J. 0.
Durant as he was the only candidate, in fact,
by that name, but the decision of the mana?
gers was sustained, and the three votes were
counted as scattering. Ten challenged votes
accompanied the Sumter box, and the actio a
of the managers was sustained in the case of
all except two whose votes had been refused
because of the fact that they were not natural?
ized citizens. As they were active members
of the club, their votes were counted. Two
Wedgefield votes were challenged for non
membership j and the challenge sustained and
the votes taken from the returns.,
After completing the canvass, bills in favor
of.the Watchman, and Southron and Advance
for advertising, amounting to$5.50 and $5.00
respectively were ordered paid. Also a bill
amounting to $14.00 in favor of the Secretary
for ballots, Managers' retaros, postage, sta
8tionary &c
A circular from the State Committee, call?
ing for an assessment, was read. A lengthy
discussion on finance resulted, and on motion
each dab was assessed six cents per member,
the membership to be determined by the num?
ber of votes cast at the late Primary.
On motion it was unanimously resolved that
no mass meeting for the State ticket was
needed in Sumter County.
There being no further business the meeting
adjourned subject to the call of the Chairman.
Serenading the Candidates.
A large number of the friends of the various
candidates chosen at the recent Primary, gave
them a pleasant serenade last night. Maj.
Moise was first visited, and was "equal to the.
occasion." His guests fonnd both table and
sideboard filled to overflowing; and after
sometime spent in social enjoyment, Maj.
Moise responded to repeated calls, in one of
bis happiest efforts.
Maj. H. F. Wilson was next visited and
received his friends with a hospitable and
substantial welcome and an eloquent speech
of thanks. After a pleasant interchange of
sentiments the party moved on.
Capt. Delgar received a call from the sere?
nader^ who met with a pleasant reception and
a nice talk.
The crowd finished the evening's work by
calling on the Treasurer elect, Capt. P. P.
Gaillard, where more speeches and cheering
and jollification were indulged in.
We fear that some of the serenaders accu?
mulated a big brick in their respective hats
at some time daring the evening.
Some Questions.
Nr. Editor : I respectfully request that you
publish tbe following questions intended for
the benefit of all concerned. As a taxpayer
and a citizen of this County and State, I am
very sure they interest me :
1st. Why will not fifty dollars apiece per
annum be sufficient payment to secure the
services of three County Commissioners, dis?
interested and fair-minded real estate owners,
to transact the duties now assigned to the
Commissioners? What did these officers get
40 years ago when times were better ? (Noth?
ing. Ed.)
2d. I want to know why some one cannot
be gotten to do the work of the Clerk of the
Court for a salary of Si,000 per annum?
Does not this office cost the citizens a great
deal more than this sum ? I have other ques?
tions to ask, but open the ball with these. I
wish to set our taxpayers to thinking. There
is plenty of room for a retrenchment when
we come to look into matters, and remember
the HARD TIMES.
Sumter Bananas.
Mr. A. A. Solomons bas one of the prettiest
gardens in town, and not the least attractive
among its wilderness of shrubs, flowers, exot?
ics, vines, &c, are two flourishing banana
trees, on one of which a fine bunch of bana?
nas is growing. It is seldom one sees such a
growth in this country, outside a green
house.
Aid for Charleston.
SUMTER S. C., Sept. 7th, 1886.
A mass meeting of the citizens was held
this afternoon in the Music Hall.
Col. J. H. Earle called the meeting to order
and nominated Maj. Moise as chairman, W.
F. Rhame was*requested to act as Secretary.
The President stated that the object of the
meeting was to advise with the Council in the
matter of assisting Charleston in this her
time of great distress. Col. J. D. Blanding
toole the floor and gave a graphic account of
the terrible sufferings, and the pressing needs
of the people of Charleston ; aod in behalf of
a committee appointed by the Council offered
the following resolutions :
Wheareas, .Charleston, the metropolis of
the State, the city-of noble deeds and great
calamities, has again been smitten by Him
who controls the passions of men, rules the
cyclone and orders the earthquake, it should
be felt to be a privilege, as it is the duty of
every citizen of the State to come to her aid,
each according to his ability ; therefore re?
solved :
1. That such relief to be general and suffi?
cient can best be made by private organized
bodies, municipal corporations and the Gene?
ral Assembly of the State.
2. That the people of the State will expect
the Legislature to devise such measures of re?
lief as will help the people of Charleston to
rebuild their fallen walls and restore their
desolate homes, and we call upon our Sena?
tor and Representatives to see that such action
i3 taken.
3. That to aid in relieving the present press
ing want of the people of Charleston, we, the'
citizens of Sumter, in mass meeting assembled,
urgently request our Town Council to send to
the City Council of Charleston $1,000 as soon
as they can effect financial arrangements to do
so, and we pledge ourselves to sustain th
Council in any action it may take necessarya
to carry out the purpose of this resolution.
4. That the committee of citizens appointed
by the Council to receive private donations be
continued so that individuals or private cor?
porations ic the town or county may have
their donations safely forwarded for the par?
ticular persons or purposes they maj indicate.
After remarks by Mr. Altamont Moses ex?
plaining the financial condition of the town,
the resolutions were unanimously adopted.
An Appeal to the People of Sum?
ter County.
The undersigned have been appointed by a
mass meeting of the people of the Town of
Sumter a Relief Committee to solicit, receive,
and forward all donations of money or pro?
visions which may be made by any person
for the sufferers of the City of Charleston.

The election passed off very quietly at Pri?

BISHOPVILLE, S. C., Sept. 9, 1830.
Mr. Editor : The strange phenomenou of a
rainbow at night was seen herc a few nights
since. There was a very dark cloud near at
the time of its appearance and the rainbow is
supposed to have been caused by the reflection
of the moon's rays against the filling rain?
drops. It was like rainbows seen in day time
in shape and size but pure white in appear?
ance. The singular sight was witnessed by
a gentleman and ail bis family.
The effort to establish a high school at
Bishopville bids fair to bea success. A thou?
sand dollars have been subscribed for the
erection of a suitable building.. The stock?
holders have effected a permanent organiza?
tion and elected officers consisting of a Presi?
dent, Secretary and Treasurer, and Board of
Trustees. It is gratifying to observe this in?
dication of reviving interest in the much neg?
lected subject of education. Our people hive
already relied too much on the very imper?
fect and inefficient public school system which
without a wonderful improvement, can never
properly fit their sons for the duties and res?
ponsibilities of citizenship.
The Bishopville railroad is now within a few
miles of the village and will soon be completed.
Its completion will bean important event and
will mark the beginning of a new era in our
history. The rail road will pot us in quick
communication with the outside world and
will greatly stimulate and increase business.
The rapid growth and prosperity of our town
is confidently predicted. Indeed, it will not
be a matter of surprise If iu a few years Bish?
opville should become the most important
town in the County, especially if the rail road
is extended to North Carolina, which is very
probable. Let Sumter take warning and look
well to her laurels.
With the opening of the fall season our
merchants are giving unusual evidence of
thrift and enterprise. They are receiving
their Fall stock and business is becoming ac?
tive. There are now twelve stores open-a
greater number than ever before in the his?
tory of the place.
Mr. J. N. Phillips with his family has
moved back^ to the County and pitched bis
tent toward Bishopville.
Miss Nora Rogers has returned home from
avery pleasant visit of several weeks among
relatives in Greenwood and Spartanburg.
Mr. Robert Fraser who has been quite sick
for some time is still in an extremely feeble
and helpless stale. U. C.
Thorough. Work.
The manifestation of sickness is generally
in the part which at the time happens to be
the weakest, throat, Jungs, eyes, joints or
otherwise, as may be. To cure rheumatism
you do not need simply to doctor a rheuma?
tic joint with liniments or plasters. To
relieve sick headache you need something
more than to bathe the aching temples. To
banish dyspepsia mere dosing of the stomach
is by no means the most effective means. It
is the crowning excellence of Compound
Oxygen that it renews and vitalizes the
whole system. Thc invalid inhales the
remedy and it thus first acts on the lungs
and is there a purifier of the blood and
through it of the entire system, driving out
diseases by bringing in vitality, not by stim?
ulating a particular part, and so pushing the
disease off to another part. It produces a
radical cure instead of tampering with dis?
tressful maladies and leaving weary and dis?
appointed patients in a partially patched-up
condition. The subject is a very interesting
one. A plensant and readable treatise on it
of nearly two hundred pages will be mailed
free lo any address on application to Drs.

Peterson's Magazine for October has a
Steel engraving, "Consider the Lillies," that

What a Spartanburg physician has to say
in praise of Westmoreland's Calisaya Tonic :
'I am-delighted with the benefit I have de?
rived from taking Calisaya Tonic. I con?
sider it an excellent preparation. My health
is now better than it has been for years. It
tones up the stomach, and gives life and
vigor to the whole system.'
BALTIMORE, MD., Feb, 12, 188S.
Messrs. Westmoreland Bros.-Gentlemen :
Having been a confirmed dyspeptic for years,
receiving no relief from the best medical at?
tendance, or the numerously advertised'pat?
ent medicines,' I tried your 'Calisaya Tonic,'
which I consider the best preparation before
the public, having given me instant relief af?
ter years of suffering. Yours truly,
OLIVER P. MERRYMAN.
