Other minor amendments were also made, tot the foregoing are the most important. New Candidates. For the first time the cards of tbe following candidates appear this week. County Commissioner: J. M. Boss, of Spring Bill j is nominated by "Suinter." Mr. Boas evidently baa the confidence of his friends and is quite capable to fill the office. John I. Brogdoo is also-nominated for Co.

Let the harmony of tbe o&rty be undisturbed, and let all work for the ticket that is put out, oven if any of os think t could' be bettered in some respeots. Changes of Schedule. . In view of tbe important changes recently nad? in the schedules of trains passing this point, we call the attention of onr readers to ibe following which constitute tbe more im )ortant of these changes. The np-train from Charleston reaches Sumter at 9.18 a. m., and Columbia at 10.30, connecting with the C. ? 7. road to Greenville, Spartanburg, Walhah'a, 5. C. Returning, this train leaves Colombia it 5.33 p. m., reaches Sumter at 6.46, and Charleston at 9.10 p. m. Going North this rain- stops on signal at Lane's, Foreston, banning, Sumter and Wedgefietd. At 4.30 p. m., a train leaves Charleston for Columbia, arriving there at 9.05, passing Sumter at 7.45. Going down in the morning, he train from Columbia passes Sumterat 8 15, .onnecting here with the-train for Wadesboro ipd Wilmington. These two trains stop, on lig^ir^aT^att^-a^ations between Lane's and Columbia, going a?d^retorning. Of course, til trains stop at the SJamden crossing, be au? the law compels tbem to, but tbey do tot stop long. This sch^d&le is apparently aster than the one previous, *4*ot it is more tpp&rcnt ttran real. Better time is made iecau?e fewer stops Are made. The running time, we do not sb^pose, has teen quickened at all. . mmmm 9 9 ?i * Por Sale. ^ A very-fine Guitar, A^?ly to TraV gtlsbj, Sumter, S. ?. . ; vj spjft aH to Pieces, u -' We an. infoirmed that the Ht.

If m jmtb?rping ' the democratic party lathe least, bnt boatism was" never known! to pro mote.the harmony and welfare.of the deme craticorany other party yet. . As the result of this split, a new dob will be organized at Corb?tt's Mill on next Saturday afternoon Beneficiary Vacancy. Attention iscalled to the notice of Gen. Johnson Hagood, Chairman Board Visitors S. C. M. A., to 3he effect that Sumter County is entitled to +311 one beneficiary vacancy in the Citadel Academy. The competitive examination will be held in this city ira Sept 13, by* Board to be ap pointed by the State Superintendent of Edu cation. ? All those Intending^ to compete are required to apply to Gen. Hagood at Barn well, either personally or by4etter, for information and forms of application, prior to Sept. 3d; No* application win be considered Unless fully and clearly made oat according to prescribed re gulations, which Gen.

Tbe Sumter Democratic Club met at Music Hall on last Friday evening. President John T. Green and secretary/A. B.Stackey were at their posts of duty After the meeting- was called to order, the following resolutions were offered-by: D.

That oor delegates to tbe County Convention on 23rd instant are requested to vote and use.tbeir influence for the adoptioo of these or similar resolutions having the same object-la view. These resolutions were adopted without a dissenting vote. After some little discussion the following resolution was adopted by tbe Clab: 4th. That we, the members of the Sumter Democratic Club are in favor of the majority primary, and request oar delegation to tbe -Connty Convention to" vote for:the adoptioo of the same. * The following. delegates to tbe County Convention were elected.

The Wedgefield Democratic Club met on last Saturday to elect delegates to the County Convention. Tbe following resolutions were offered and heartily endorsed by tbe c-ub. In the right of suffrage we recog ni te a sacred trust and a grave responsibility, and whereas 'this trust and responsibility is often abused by improper methods of electioneering and, by being used in the interest of unworthy and incapable men, therefore. Resolved 1st. That we most positively discountenance the practice of treating to in toxicants by candidates for votes. 2d. That we as a club, endorse no .candi date for office who is known to try to secure votes by treating to intoxicants. 3d. That we, as a club, endorse no candi date for office who is known to drink to-ex cess. Tbe clab then went into an election for delegates with tbe following result. Delegate at large?fi. R. Thomas. Delegates, B. P. Kelley, J. B. Ryan, W. D. Graham, Peter Mellett. After the election there was some debate upon tbe advisability of instructing ^the dele gates, with the followiag result. The delegates were instructed to vote for the majority primary plan of electing candi dates. They were also most positively in structed to vote for and to advocate tbe nomi nation of Col. John J. Dargan for solicitor Of this circuit. I. J. WltSOH. Secty. Wedgefield Club. Spring Hill Democratic Club. Sxrrarru*, S. C, July 14,1888.

Tbe club-was unanimous for tbe Conven tion plan of making nominations. The club was also unanimous :n their preference for the plurality plan if the nomination should be made by tbe Primary system. W. S. Smth. Sec. Taylor Democratic Club. Tayloes, S. C, July 16,1886. Mr. Editor: Tbe Taylors Democratic Club met on tbe 14th, and elected the following delegates to tbe convention: J. T. Truluck, J.T. McNeil, R. M. McFaddin and B. F. Jones with J. A. M. Carra way and E. Strick land as alternates. % Tbe club also passed resolutions not to en dorse any candidate who follows the habit of treating to intoxicants to secure votes and also not to vote for any man of koown in temperate habits. Our friends who are given to taking too much of tbe "cop that cheers" will not get many votes in the "Dark Corner." Tbe club also passed resolutions recommend ing the majoritv primary plan, and instructed tbe delegates to vote for convention if they should fail to get tbe majority plan. Candi dates are thick and their promises are varions, our bridges will be built, our roads will be looked after, our county offices will be tbe pink of perfection in fact after the election we will live in a political.

Mr,, Hoghsonis an exceedingly capable.man, and bia friends and associates expect some -good work from him. The above, taken from the Columbia cor respondence df the Charleston World, of ?4tb gives us' pleasing information concerning a Sumter boy. Shirley Hughson is, in otfr opinion, cat ont for" a newspaper mail. He possesses that sprigbtlinesa of mind which enables bfm to seile on the salient points of any piece of news and fit a'-eap on it which gives the substance in short end telling form. ?f or does be lack the information and literary skill which give him the power to express his thoughts op a great variety of subjects in accurate and choice englisb-. Se bas also the habits and disposition of the student, which will make him a growing man, even though newspaper work, especially on-a daily, gives one but lit tle time or opportunity for study. We predict for bim a conspicuous and use ful career in his chosen profession, and we will al way be glad to hear of his preferment and promotion which are sore to follow htm, if bis future.may be guaged by bis past. - ? ?- ? "^?mt?^L Didn't We JJ? It P If there is one quality. more than another' that distinguishes the average editor, it is that of innate and invincible, modesty. Mod esty is a rare and conspicuous virtue nowa days,, and editors may be said to-h ive se cured almost the monopoly'of it, by the un conscious and spontaneous formation of an "Editorial Modesty Trust,'' among members of the fraternity ; but there are times when modesty, like forbearance, ceases to be a virtue. We believe we have hit upon such a time now. Last week we modestly made certain suggestions as to schedules on the railways centering'here. Four days after,' these suggestions, and a few others notjhrown out by us, but following naturally in their wake, were unanimously adopted by two of the largest corporations in thi3"country, to the great convenience and -benefit of'all con cerned. ' An eminent philanthropist has said, "It is not every man who knows how to run a hotel," but when you put an editor on his mettle, be does not find it a difficult matter to tell how to run arailroad.or two.. . We charge the two companies nothing for our practical suggestions. The consciousness of the good we have done Is our sufficient re ward. Generosity, next to modesty, Is the distinguishing trait of newspaper "men. No one will or can regard this as an instance of blowing onr own born. It is given only as s casual instance of the power of the press? that Is all. '' An Indignity to Sumter County. Watchman and Southron : Capt. P. P. Gail lard is the-County Chairman ?f Sumter Co, He was elected to bis high and responsible office at our last County Convention. This position was entirely unsought on bis part. In fact be was sick at home at the time and bad not the remotest idea of what the Convention was going to Jo as to the choice of the man who Would be placed at. tbe head of our political affairs for the next t wo years. 11 was an in-" stance where the office sought the man and not the man the office. Of all the true and tried democrats of this County, none bave done more for the salva tion of the Democracy, none have risked more and placed their life in greater jeopardy , none have had more backbone to staod right square up to what,they did at the polls than Capt. P. P. Gaillard. Sumter County knows all this. She loves to honor tbe mas to whom honor is doe, and oh that account and for many other .good reasons our last County Convention unanimously elected Capt. P. P. Gaillard County Chairman by acclamation. This is what the Convention of the people of Sum ter County did* It was a just recogni tion.-? f the past services of -a nob je Demociat. But notwithstanding all this, one man who is trying to boss tbe politics of Sumter County took itt upon himself and so managed by his artifices to prevent the election of our Counfy Chairman as a delegate to tbe County Con vention on tbe 23rd. This man is Dr. H J. McLaurln. He.has nnblusbingly heaped an indignity and an outrage upon Sumter Coun ty. He knows it. He feels it. He shows it in-his face. Sumter County is nothing to bim?be is after poshing.Caesar through into office ; and the respect tbat is due to Sumter. County is of Email consequence to him.. Citjzss. Capt. B.
