Second Primary. j,
The second primary election witt be held j i
oext Friday. It ts important that there
should be a full expression of the popular
choice for the offices yet open, and we bope
that our people will make 'he necessary effort
sad turn out a second time on Friday. Not
a foll, vote was polled last week, though it
was quite a large one. Tern out again, gen?
tlemen, aod give one more day for the sake
?rf your country I
A Young Flood
On Snnday afternoon from about 2.30 to 4
o'clock, we had a prodigious rainfall io the
city and vicinity, which flooded the streets
und sidewalks and choked up the dr?. r.s for
l?verai hours. The thirsty earth succeeded
in driokiog up all traces of the rain by 7
o'clock, and the moon, nearly full, rose to
si most unclouded splender, making night
I eau ti fe ' with its soft and silvery effulgence.
The moisture io tbe atmosphere made Monday
a steaming day, but out of the sun the heat
vas oct UDendurable.
Quick Work.
Oar Extra which was received by the pub?
lic, with such interest on Saturday afternoon,
iirvolved a great deal of work and tbe closest
o' atfceatioo tn order to prevent typographi?
es! errors, a few of which crept in despite all
Oir care. These we have corrected, and as j ^
published this week the returns are absolutely (
correct, so far as we kuow or have been able ? j
tc find out. \'
When we began to print them off, the ^
CTowd ia oar office was so large that we were -
obliged to insist on their getting io line and |
txdpg served in tarn. The extra sold like!*
hot cakes, and was a great source of satisfac- ??
ti >n io the anxious candidates and their coo- ,
eittuents. After ocr labor io adding up the
returns, weean readily believe the statement
that several persons engaged in making up
tte census retaros of 1880 were absolutely
crixed by their coostant and incessant ad?
dition of Sgures for months '*t a time.
A similar statemen t of the result of the
second primary election will be issued on
Saturday afternoon.
i/or the best Cigars, Chewing and Smoking
Tobacco, call upon us and be convinced. E.

Mayesville's First Bale.
MAYSSVULE, S. C., Aug. 21, 1888.
Mr. Editor : The first bale of new cotton
was brought to our town to-day by Mr. T. D.
Chandler, ginned at the Salem gins of Capt.
J E. Atkins, and was bought by Mr. A. A,
Strauss, for cts per pound. Tbe bale
weighed 529 pounds. W.
Finest Cotton In the State.
Mr. Edward E. Rembert, of Rafting Creek,
has one hundred and twenty-five acres of cot?
ton in one field that is given up to be the
finest in the State. The height and the won?
derful amount of fruit of this cotton is now
the talk of the County. Mr. Rembert is quite
a young man aod has his own original meth?
od of farming, and herein lies the secret of
bis success. Sumter County is proud of him
because he is one of a few who has achieved
so much at such an early age.
Interesting Questions.
A recent occurrence has given rise to some
interesting questions :
1. Is there anything "sacred" about a vote
cast at a primary election, when no oath is
taken by the party casting it?
2. When does the right of property in a
ballot cease ? When it is cast, or when ?
3 When the returns are all io and the votes
have been canvassed and tabulated, and the
official statement of the result has been signed
up, in whom is the right of property to the
'-ballots, " or have they ceased to be ballots,
and are now nothing more than pieces of
paper with names thereon?
4. In case they have ceased to be ballots
ind ?re nobody's property, bas not any cit?
izen ana especially any candidate the right
af access to v.**em f?r aD7 Purpose not unlaw?
ful ?
5. Has the CaairmrO of the County Ex
?cutive Committee the rignJ to demand that
;uch ballots or pieces of paper V)e restored to j
aim, by the candidate who has ta?*a tDem
into bis possession, and if the candida.'e re"
Fuses, what remedy has the Chairman ?

Advertising the City of Sumter.
The Columbia Register and Charleston
World both contained this morning the fol
ewing special from the "City of Sumter:"
"SUMTICB, Aug 21.-Upon ar/ affidavit of j
Mr. John Haynsworth, warrants were yester
lay issued by Mayor Mood for John R. Keels,
""harlie Keels, Henry Osborne, W. J. Herron,
Napoleon Elierbee, and E. S. DesChamps, for

We are informed by Mr. DesCchamps that

It is unfortunate if any are accused v. roag

j . That Mountain Excursion.
A friend otours went on the excursion last
Wednesday, and has submitted himself to an
I interview, though he tried to beg off on the
ground that after such a "pleasure exertion"
(as Samantha Allen puts it) the process of
pumping or being pumped involved too hard
labor, with the mercury in the nineties. He
says in substance that the train left here
about three quarters of an hour late, the first
section having preceded it by some minutes.
When the second section arrived in Columbia
it was ascertained that, as usual, the Coast
Line bad shown its heels to both sections of
the excursion as organized over the "old re?
liable'' South Carolina road. After waiting
for twenty minutes or 60, however, the two
trains over that road thundered into the sta?
tion, bringing considerably over five hundred
excursionists of all ages, both sexes, and a
half-dozen colors, ranging from pnre white
and black to ginger cake and amber-color.
This was one of the curiosities of the excur?
sion, the number of colored persons, especially
women, who went on it. Our friend noticed
a car full of them, besides a few others scat?
tered-about in the other cars. The next
thing that attracted his attention was the
lamentable fact that the C. & G. men had
given his section, composed of seven full
coaches, a little, insignificant engine, entirely
incapable of performing the duty assigned to
it. The atmosphere, in consequence, was
lurid with profanity, extending over the
length of the train, from the engioeer in the
cab to the hot and dusty occupant of the back
platform of the rear coach. The atmosphere
was also torrid, especially when, as frequent?
ly happened, the train would come to a com?
plete stop in a deep cut, from which both heat
and light were reflected with cruel effect,
under which cuffs and collars rapidly suc?
cumbed or went into a stale of total and hope?
less bankruptcy.
The amount of real estate collected on the
persons and clothing of the excursionists
would have made qnite a respectable farm if
brought together in one mass. The train
reached Spartanburg two hours late, aud
then rested for an hour, except for several
short trips to and from the Air Line depot to
where the A. & 8. road crosses Main street,
the object of which trips no fellow could find
out, even after diligent inquiry.
Spartanburg was left at six o'clock, the ex?
cursionists by that time being tired and iimp,
with no vivacity or vitality to speak of, suf?
fering in grim silence tbe horrors of the situ?
ation. After a half hour's bard work, the
mountains hove in sight, old Tryon looming
grandly np in the rapidly lessening distance.
Then a change come over the spirit of the ex?
cursionists' dream. Tba ozone in the air be?
gan to make itself felt. Windows and plat?
forms were ornamented with numer?os heads,
and a grand chorus of exclamations expres?
sive of surprise and delight smote upon the
ear and the circumambient atmosphere at one
and the sanie time. At Melrose the climb
commenced in earnest. Two powerful en?
gines, each with three driving wheels on a
side, were attached to the train, and slowly
but surely tbe grade of seven hundred and
odd feet which had to be overcome before
Saluda was reached, was passed, and the
train pulled into the station just at dark.
Here a large number disembarked, but most
of the excursionists went on to points beyond,
Asheville being reached about 9.30 o'clock,
and the Hot Springs an hour and a half later.
There were no accidents on any of the trains,
which was surprising, considering the great
number of persons involved and the many
magnificent opportunities offered to the care?
less and adventurous. The tickets were very
cheapandafforded excursionists the advantages
of nearlv three weeks'stay in the mountains
-a great beon at this season.
Our friend was told that the price of real
estate all over the available mountain country
bas risen rapidly iu the last few years. He
could see for himself bow many nice little
summer homes bad been recently built, and
heard a number of gentlemen say they intend?
ed pcrchasing and building for themselves,
The isothermal belt crosses Tryon mountain,
and a finer fruit country nowhere exists. Not
only is that section a favorite summer resort,
but more Northerners occupy quarters at the
Battery Park Hotel in Asheville during the
winter than Southerners during the summer.
A rival to Florida is thus looming up near us,
and Western North Carolina promises soon to
become the Switzerland of America in wealth
and population as it has long been such in
point of scenery. We give this as a "pointer"
to our wide awake business men who gen?
erally kuow a good thing when they see it.

During a dense fog, last week, off the j
Sable Islands, two large passenger j
steamers collided. There were 560 ;
passengers on both vessels. One of the
vessels was so disabled that it sank in j
less than five minutes carrying down j
with it >05 persons The other passen
gera were picked up by the other ship, j
which also was badly disabled. The
following morning another ship passing
rescued the unfortunate passengers, and !
brought them to New York. The \

To The Democratic Voters of Sum?
ter County.
Fellow-citizens : It is with pride and grati?
tude that I have to thank you, friends, who
honored me with your votes in such a flatter?
ing manner last Friday. I have to take this
method of doing so, because my duties as
Deputy Sheriff positively will not admit of
a personal canvass of the County. The free
and uninfluenced honor which T have re?
ceived at your hands can be appreciated only
when it is remembered that my card appear?
ed first in the Watchman and Southron of Aug.
8th', not quite two weeks before the election,
and while other candidates for the Coroner
ship, canvassed the County, and appeared at
the public meetings, I could only send a let?
ter, which was read at but three of those
meetings, and there were no "whippers in"
at the polls in my behalf, and though I had
the offer of trades, no trade was made by me.
Yet I was remembered in every Ciub, and no
box returned a blank for Warren. My
friends, again I thank you, and venture to
express the hope that you will repeat on the
24th your action of the 17th. The Demo?
cratic voters, with whom I have not the
honor of acquaintance, and those who voted
against me-as they have a perfect right to do
-I desire to point to the election returns
from the'five Eastern and two South-western
Townships, where I have lived aod their cit?
izens of all classes honored me with their
votes. Respectfully,
A. G. WARREN,
Candidate for Coroner.
Cigarette Smoking.
if the attention of the observers of the
present day is arrested by any one thing more
than another, that one thing should be the
bab^t of cigarette smoking, as practicdd by
the boys of the 19tb Century. The truth of
the old adage, "The boy is the father of the
man," is, we believe, acknowledged by all
sagacious men. If it be so, then what are we
? to look for io the men of the next three de?
cades? They being the outgrowth of ciga
rette saturated children. Tbe subtle poison
of the cigarette permeates the whole nervous
system and saturates the brain, producing a
premature weakling, utterly incompetent to
j meet the duties and cope with the responsi
I bilities devolving upon the man. If this be
I so, then what hope have we for the future of
j a country whose preachers, lawyers, doctors,
politicians and statesmen are to be hewn out
of such material.

suffered from that terrible disease, Dyspepsia,
for over fifteen years, and during that time j ?
tried everything 1 could hear of, and spent
over three hundred dollars in doctors' bills,
without receiving the slightest benefit. In?
deed, I continued to grow worse. Finally,
after I despaired of obtaining relief a friend
recommended B B. B. (Botanic Blood Balm),
and I gan using it; not, however, expecting
to be benefit ted. After using haifa bottle 1
waseaiisfied that I w?s being benefitted, and
when the sixth bottle was taken I felt like a
new man. I would not take $1,000 for the
good it has done me; in fact, the relief I
derived from it is priceless. 1 firmly t>e!ieve
that I would have died had I not taken it.
