Died at his residence, Privateer, Sumter County, on the 22d instant, in the 75th year of his age, Mr. A. J. McElveen. Thedeceased was one of the best known citizens of his sec? tion of our County. In his manners and life h. was KS simple ?3 a child. With a heart open to every appeal to his charity he was as gentle and affectionate in hi3 disposition asa girl. In his death Sumter has lo3t a good citizen, the church militant an humble yet de? voted soldier of Christ, and his family a wise protector. He had many friends in Clarendon and Williamsburg counties who will regret to learn of bis death. Religious. Rev. John Kershaw will preach at the Episcopal Chnrch in this citv next Sunday, at lt. 30 A. M., and 8 P. M. 9 ? ; A meeting of the delegation elected at the recent farmers meeting to represent Sumter County a,t the Convention, was held in the Court House on Sa'.urday last, to determine ! what line of action should be followed by the delegation and, we suppose to formulate a platform in accordance with the "Sumter idea"-that is-Hamlet-with the mad Prince of Denmark left out. It bas not transpired what line of conduct waa agreed upon by the delegation, but we . feel assured that Sumter County will be re ; presented with dignity and ability. The personnel of the delegation is a sufficient guarantee that th i seutiments cf our people j ?"will be properly and ably presented to the Convention. ? The Democracy of Sumter County will hold the gentlemeo of this delegation strictly j accountable for the way io which their j mission is discharged, and we do not fear the j results. We have learned at serena band i that the Sumter delegation will oflvr a reso? lution in the Shell Convention requesting Col. Jno C. Haskell to resign bis place on the National Democratic Committee in view ot his advocacy of the tonnage bill. We scarcely think this Convention the proper body to deal with Col. Haskell as be is not io any way responsible to Mr. Shell's Convention. Plush Table Covers, at Levi Bros'. Silk Mantle Scarfs at Levi Bros'. Felt Table Scarf*at Levi Bros'.

Walsh chanced to be at the Post (Office wben^ the storm broke upon the city and from tbe piazza of that building probably goteas "good a view of the aerial pandemonium as could be bad. ' Crouched down between a beehive and a board fence wtis not so favorable a place for cool and accurate, observation. This inclines us to put more faith in tte report of Col. Walsh ! i than in our own recollections! The Colooel j says that great sheets of water, so dense and ' i black that the e\e could not penetrate them, | i were driven horizontally across the Court House Square at a uniform height above the ground, by the forre of trie hurricane. These bodies of water were carried over and above the bouses apparently without spilling a drop. The tremendous propelling power of the winds can be fairly estimated from this re? markable fact.

Caught Out on the Fly. 11 Mr Ben .Mitchell, one of our county fathers, i 1 was one of the many unfortunate gentlemen from the country who visited Sumter on j 1 Saturday last aud left the city just in time j 1 to be caught on the way by the ?torm. Mr. j 1 Mitchell, accompanied by a small colored boy ! was driving in a top buggy. The storm over- ; ' took him when within a few hundred yards | ' of his house. The beating rain and bail? ; 1 seemed to have so terrified the horse that he I stopped dead still and Legan to tremble. The j 1 buggy began lo careen to one side as if about j ' to capsize. Mr Mitt-hell leaped from one: side and ordered the little darkey to dis- j 1 mount fiem theoiher and assist him to unhitch ? I the horse from the vehicle In jumping out the Iit'le negro was caught up "o i the fly" ; ' and carried bodily a distance of twenty-five j . j-ards without serious injury. The buggy j ! was overturned and Mr Mitchell and the boy ! had to fij^ht hird to get to shelter without I accideut. This exp?uience of Mr. Mitchell is a fair!' example of many simular reported to us.

Graded School BuildiDg and Mon- | umental Square. To the Editor of the Watchman and Sou?trcn : DKARSIR: As a descendant of Col. Miller and one of the donors of the Monumental Square, I must entera protest against its le ing taken into consideration as a location for a school building, a plan advocated bj yourself and several correspondents of your paper. The square was given by Col. Miller for a school, bat the conditions of the gift being o nco m plied with, the property reverted to bis family, who donated it to the Monumental Association, certainly without any expecta tion of its being put to ulterior uses. A ?chool building on the lot could not make it less attractive to the wayfarer than it now is in its forlorn and neglected condition, the point is ihat it would effectually prevent its being maile such a spot as its givers wished j it to become, and such as the municipal gov- | ernment of a growing "city" should be able to make it.

The high position attained and the univer? sal acceptance and approval of the pleasant liquid fruit remedy Syrup of Figs, as the roost excellent laxative known, illustrate the value of the qualities on which its success is based and are abundantly gratifying to the Califor? nia Fig Syrup Company. Ex-Speaker Carlisle thinks the Lodge Fed? eral election bill one of the most objectionable measures ever before Congress, and considers that it would be practically impossible to hold a legal election -under its complicated provisions. In speaking of the bill Mr. Car? lisle said ' Suppose we do a little figuring on it to start with. If this bill was a law there would be at each of the 90,000 election pre? cincts of the country, at every Congressional and Presidential election, 7 Federal officials, making a total of 630 000 men, and costing ten or fifteen millions of dollars every two years. This estimate is based upon the pre? sent number of voting precincts, but the com? plications of 'bis bill would make the process of voting such a slow one that the number of precincts would have to be largely increased, perhaps doubled, in order to give the voters un opportunity to deposit their ballots." The bill has not been much better received by the republicans than by the democrats. The Blair educational bill is dead. But the Senator has come up smiling willi another nil!. Th-s time the appropriation is only S5S, ooo ooo. The republicans of the House don't vote as they talk in contested election cases. The democrats were led to believe that seven or sight republicans would vote with them in the ^se of Mudd vs Compton, but when the vote was taken Mudd got the solid republican vote ind the seat. There are four contested election cases in which all the arguments have been heard, .nd it is expected that the republicans of the committee on Elections will try to railroad them through rbis week. . TRIBUTE OF RESPECT. At a meeting of the '"Whatsoever Circle'' of King's Daughters, Stateburg. S C., on Friday, March 21st, 1890, the following reso? lutions were adopted : Whereas.

But the deeds of the Faithful ?ive after the hands ate folded and the eyes closed to all earthly things, and remind us to be steadfast evrn as sh-.- was, that we too may receive the reward laid up for those who have done faithful work ''In His Name."
