Executives, at a day of thanksgiving and prayer ; and we with it were the ?latent here at lt it in the North to make it all that Its name implies. There it it the holiday of the year. Work of all kinds is re? ligiously suspended, and "al! th? world'1 go to church, where even the most thoughtless maj learn from the preacher's lips something for which he should be thankful. Then home to dinner, and for this event, preparations have been made for days and weeks...; Caret are laid aside, enmities forgotten, and the good chert by which al! sre sar rounded comes mt a fitting finale to the year of toilsome work. It is a beautiful custom, and one which we contd: follow with profit *ud pleasure. . There itaoother duty which seems to belong to this tine of thanksgiving for our. especial blessings; and that is to help the : needy. There are bot few of us who are se embarrass* ed in our-eirco instances, at to be unable to do something for those more unfortunate than we in worldly goods or social surroundings. and the blessings that always follow the giver 13 a rich compensation for their bestowal. Yes, we like the Yankee way of keepicg Thanksgiving Day with its family re-unions, and unlimited social enjoyments, and we would'be better for them ourselves. mmm ? ? emmi - South karolina's Pensioners. We are indebted to the Department of the Interior at Washington for a copy of the an? nual report of the Commissioner of Pensions for the year ended Jone 30,1886. It contain? much interesting information. We learn from its pages that there is only three pen? sioners in Sumter County, two invalids and one.widow, who receive in the aggregate $20 per month. The number of pensioners in South Carolina is as follows. Invalids, 112 ; widows, 45; minon, 1 ; dependents, 8; ?ur* vi Tors, war 1812,; 13 ; widowt, war 1812,144. Total number, all classes, 321. Charleston bat the lacgaat number of pensioners, 44. Georgetown and Horry have 1 each. The number in the other counties ranges from 2 in Union and Marlborough to 37 in Beaufort. Tbe amount paid to pensioners in this State each month it $3,105.83. mm ? . . ? mm The Atkins Eailroad. We ottiued to mention last week that the road from Atkins station, on the W. C. k A. Road, to Bithopville ita bona?d* success, and that it ran a train on Fair week to accommo? date ibo? wUbing to'attend. We do not think that any regular schedule has been adopted at yet, but are ioformed that e. train run? every day, and both passenger* and freight are carried. Now if the suggestion we make elsewhere to reference to tbe train front Cheraw could be carried ont; it world be just the thing for the Bishop ville train to reach Arkins at 9 o'clock A. M. tn riane for that train, and be on time again for it io the afternoon. That would be '^just lovely." Premiums Awarded to Burnt ar.

The Commissiooers of the Federal election have received several letters from Supervisors asking about the payment of their per diem, while serving during election ; nod we will say that the State has made no provision for their pay. The Supervisors serve under United Sutes appointment, and Uncle Sam is responsible, if any one is, for their pay. We will alto add that there it no appropriation made by the State for Constable'? expenses no one but managers and their clerks being entitled to pay. The money if* on hand to pay all the Managers of both Federal and State election?, who filed their accounts with the Commissioners of Election. Our Exchanges. Mr J. E. Boggs bas purchased Major D. F. Brad ley* 8 interest in the Picken* Sentinel and j hat assumed permanent charge of that paper. Messrs. J. E. McDonald and E. B. Bagsdale have purchased Mr. J. S. Reynolds interest in the Wicnsboro' New* and Herald. Mr. McDonald is the Solicitor of that circuit and Mr. Bagsdale is a member of the Wioosboro' bar. For many years tbe December issue of Harper * Magazine have been distinguished by an unusual wealth of choice reading and pictures, with a special emphasis upon Christ ma? subjects. Bich as have been tbe previous numbers, the one about to be published stands easily at the bead of all the goodly company that for nearly forty years have entertained and enlightened innumerable readers. It ts a royal banquet of refreshing variety, with sturdy staple?, rare novelties, and delici?os daiotiet worthy of the generous holiday saint. Everything it complete in ittelf, tbe serials being omitted from this number. Betide the strongest attraction cf 'The Boyhood of Christ,' by tbe author of 'Ben-Hnr,' the Howell? farce, Tbe Monte-Trap/ Gibson's delightful 'Wood Notes,' and the bounteous department of confidential discourse, of lit? erary judgment, and of overflowing humor, presided over by tbe geniuses of G. W. Curtis, W. D. Howell?, and C. D. Warner, we are regaled with six short stories (four of them beautifully lUastrattd), ?nd iv? illustrated poem?. Of the abundant cutt, twenty-five occupy full paget, ?nd four are printed separately os plate paper. Notwithstanding the unparalleled richness of tb* number, we are assured by the publishers that it it only a Christmas form of the exalted standard which will be uniformly nsarntaiaed throughout the year; and themagnificen* prospectus detail? ing the coming treasures give? a spjeodid promise to the volume begun by th it number. A Teacher's Institute. Mr. J. T. Wilder, School Commissioner elect, hag arranged for a Teachers' Institute ta be held at Bethel Church, ?aturda?, 18tb December. It will be participated lu bj some of tue leading teachers la the County and caa not be otherwise than beneficial to those who attend. We welcome all such meetings as this. It will help create an erprU tU torpt, now so entirely wanting in the profession. We cannot think ot any occupation in which tbe performance of duty is so entirely per? functory as it ?sin teaching in our public schools. No rim or enthusiasm is seen or felt, nothing but the dry performance of a barren duty, which is the inevitable result of unpre? pared teachers, uncomfortable bootes, short terms and poor paj. Yet, bring along tnt Institutes, one a month if possible. Let tbe teacher learn that hit it a profession second to none other, and that it requires a well trained heart at well at bead to successfully perform its duties. If our Commissioner can get the teachers together nt frequent intervals, Induce them to think before, and talk after they come, he will do a great good to the cause of education io SumterCounty. j m mm i Maxims. The art of life it to know bow to enjoy a little and to endure much. So act thal your principle of action would bear to be made a law for the whole world. The consciousness of duty performed gires ut music at midnight. Lore like a creeper, withers and diet if it has no thing to embrace. Alden's Cyclopedia of Universal Literature Is publishing in parts of 160 pages each, pa? per corers, and in volumes of about 500 pages, bound in fine cloth, gilt tops. It will be completed, probably, ia about 15 rolumes. Price, per Part, 16 cents ; per Volume, 60 cents, post-paid: Parts I. to IX., and Yoi umes I. to III. now ready. The Boston Globe in speaking of it says ; 'The third volume shows no abatement of interest. Good taste tod good judgment in the selection of the authors to be represented, and of the writings to show their thought tod s ty le, contine to be accurately exercised ; and none may doubt that the succeeding volumes will conform to the standard of the first one. It would be well for genera! culture io literature if it found admittance into every family.' Hot Supper. B.uDroHD SPRINGS, Nor. 23,1886. Jfr. Ediior: Please allow us space in your valuable paper to announce that there will be a hot supper at the residence of Dr. M. C. Wallace on the night of Dec. 2nd, to aid in building a new Baptist Church, Mt. Pisgah, near Bradford Springs. There will be music, reading and recitation, and the supply will be just splendid. Miss M. E. PHILLIPS, MISS MAGGIE MTKRS. Letter From "Guv." MT. CLIO, Nor. 12, 1886. This it "quake day," but thus far our Mt. bat been quite calm and serene, though thia morn all our trees appeared disposed to commence business at "raining trees." We also notice a great many moonda thrown up in divert places, but as a seien tist in this mat? ter we predict that they forebode no ill, as our analysis proves them to be composed of three distinct strata. The first of ordinary earth ; second, fibrous, and the third stratum or core ls a tuberous esculent, harmless, w bole?me and palatable. We alto predict that these moonda will gradually disappear during the winter. Alat, too rapidly. We notice that jon make no mention of the stout yearling snake of last Friday, nor the twin babies of Sunday, and yet weare inform? ed that lite first wat to notable in Sumter that nearly every one, bettet and clerks (we sus? pect the editor and tue devil too) tried to tee it. At least we suppose that's why they all got into the street so quickly. And now we know why it't a "well worn subject." It's tbe ?boes yon mean. Good for friend Bultman. Ia there no committee that this thawing busi? ness aright be referred tc 0, for some can? didates now. We know they'd at least pro mite to attend to it to the best of their know? ledge and ability. But these candidates are not what thej were, especially the elect. They remind ns somewhat of the James Island "man and brother." In- ?be earl j spring, when be visits tbe etty and%e put the ques? tion : "Hello, old man where do you ball from?" Be will answer, "J-e-e-m-a l-s-l-a-n-t bott. Bott tfo-a-fr-e gime chewer tobacco." Bat you just wait a few weeks until garden tats, early peat, watermiltjunt, iah, etc., abound, then ask him politely, "whereare you from Uncle?" "Jimilant," abort and straight will it be. 'Twas ever thus. This ls preeminently tbe gleaning season. Tbe patient cotton picker ts gleaning the feebly flecked fields. .. The fro wt j cattle are gleaning the slip shuck tod frosted pea vines. The tneretienls are gleaning tbe bull yearling farms, and tome that ain't bull yearlings, ned last comes the tax-gatherer and gleans the lett oickel from our pockets, and he will allow no discount for prompt caen either. Not belog able to dodge the quake it bad enough without owing a debt that you can't dodge. This is the reason also for such plea? sant little billet dont as "Dear Sir: Weare still holding jour note, etc." Now what can a fellow saj in rep!j to snch? Under the cir? cumstances we can only advise bim that '^That's all right. Hold on to it. Hold hard and if be finds it slipping to spit on his hands and take "fresh bold!." Bot what do thej keep boldiog it for? Can't thej put the blame thing in a drawer, or safe, or somewhere? We'wouldn't bother to hold our owo note two minutes for any amount. Daniel in tte lion's den ain't a circumstance to our position now, and yet we cao't but feel sorry for the lions too, because there ain't nigh half enough of us for them and some, we fear, won't get a bite. Once we didn't plant any cotton and we wished we had plenty of tater*, we could en? joy them with an easy conscience. Now we've got plenty of taters aod we wish-wei!, we wish we hadn't planted an j cotton. We don't koow what to do, whether to join farm? er Tilman, or try to sneak in as an earth? quake sufferer, or to-to preach during the winter months. Well, well, the bible gives us some consolation where it speaks of the rich man and the needle's eye. We surely feel small enough to go through the eye of a No. 10, and if we thought our chances of fu? ture happiness were in proportion to our poverty, we would feel that our election was sure. Guv. Oh ! What so Bare as a "Kaffee Klatsch. On Wednesday eveniog, Dec 1st, an enter? tainment euphoniously tnd mysteriously styled a "Kaffee-Klatsch" will be given at tbe residence of Dr. W. W. Anderson, Sr., at Staieburg. Given under tbe auspices of the "Ladies Sewing Society," toe proceeds will be devoted to Church purposes. Exactly what is to be tbe natur? of ibis entertainment teems to be one of those things that "no fel? low can find out." Earthquakes permitting, there may be music and dancing, but tht3 ls only conjecture. It has been whispered around, by those who appear to be well in? formed, that Kaffee is synonimons with coffee, with oyster and sandwich accompaniment ; for all of which a liberal charge will be made aod collected. Therefore, "put money in thy pnrse," and have the latcb-string thereof hanging on the outside. It seems to be un? derstood that the "Klatsch" will be provided at an appetizer without money aod without price, aod will be served continaously duriog the evening at all the intervals between mu? sic Klatsch it good, VER SUM Sar. i -io- ? i ta Wrapping Paper.

DEW, Smithville Items. SMITHVILLE, S. C., November 18, 1986. Mr. Editor: AH true citizens and especial? ly those of the Seventh Congressional Dis? trict, rejoice that we now have a Congress? man in something more than a name. Yet there are those in our midst who did nothing towards the election of Col. Elliott, seeming to forget that there are duties due the com? monwealth, paramount to unceasing labors for 8elf. The public schools are now open. Miss Willis teaches at Smithville, Miss Emma Col? clough at Log Church, and I am informed that Miss Mary Young will teach at Pisgah Church. Bev. Geo.

Several of our citizens are very sick with pneumonia and fever. . Mr. John A McLeod was riding on a load of cotton out of the field, a few days ago, when the driver by careless driving, threw Mr. McLeod off and severely hort bim. He is now laid up with bis injuries. Miss Fannie Pack gave an entertainment not long since at Pisgah church, and gave the entire proceeds to the Church to boy a stove. She bas the heartfelt thanks of the Church for ber g?nerons contribution. If, instead of giving hot sappers, or cold ones, enarenes would get op musical enter? tainments, with reading, recitations 4c, the resnlts would be better, the entertainments more interesting and with less trouble oed expense.
