Died, at Wedgefield, last Monday, Mr. John C Bagnal, aged sixty years. His body was brought to Manning last night, and was met at the depot hy a large number of friends. The funeral services took place this morning at the Manning cemetery, where he was laid to res' by the tide of his deceased wife. Mr. Bagnal was among the earlies! settlers of this town, and Was one of the most popular men in the county. He served through the war in the Manning Guards, and, in 1876, when South Carolina undertook to relieve herself from radical oppression he took an active part in the. good cause, and through Ids popularity with all classes was elected to the office of school commissioner, which he filled with credit. He was for many years head salesman for Mr. M. Levi, but for the past few years he has been living at Wedgefield in the employ of J H Aycook & Sons.-Manning Times March S Religious. Bishop Howe toade bis annual visitation to the Qhurch. of the Holy Comforter, Sumter, on Sunday evening last, and confirmed an .interesting class, of six candidates, of whom two were men. 'The Church was Uncomforta? bly crowded, many persons standing throughout the entire Sri? Lc. The music was inspiring and well rendered, and the Bishop's sermon has been pronounced by many to bathe finest they have ever heard from him It was based upon the incident of the Gergesenes bes ecking Christ to depart out of their coasts, after the herd of swiue, demoniacally possessed, h?d rushed into the waters of the sea of Gallilee, and were drown? ed. The Bishop moralized the incident to show how many, to whom Christ's power to dtive out spiritual wickedness has been revealed, nevertheless refuse to receive Him, preh-rring their owu evil deeds'and godless desires to the salvation He offers. The visitation to this Church closed the Bishop's duties in this portion of his Diocese At all the points served by the Revs. John Kershaw and J. S Hartzell, fourteen persons were confirmed, and about $55.00 offered in behalf of the Russian famine fund. The Bishop was prevented from keeping his appointment at Bradrerd Springs by reason of the death of an old and esteemed friend, in Charleston, whose fuoeral he was called to attend. Services win be held at the Episcopal Church next Sunday morning and afternoon, at ll and 5 o'clock respectively,Rev. John Kershaw officiating. The Rev. Dr. Capers. This eminent divine will preach, unless Providentralv hindered, at the Episcopal Church, on Thursday evening, 17th inss., the service to begin at 8. o'clock. All interested are cordialy invited Arrangements have been made to have preaching by a visiting clergyman every Thursday night during Lent, at the same hour and place. Municipal Matters. Messrs. Altamont Moses.and T. B. Fraser, Jr , decline to permit the use of their names as prospective aldermamic cnndidates. Their declination is based on reasons of sufficient importance to justify them in doing so. Mr. Henry J. Harby states that be is not an applicant for the position of Clerk and Tras urer, as he would not have the office under any consideration: He characterizes the report that be will be an applicant for the position as entirely unfounded. Mr. Branson will not be a candidate for Mayor, but several others are io the race. The petition published today requesting Dr. J. A. Mood to bea candidate for Mayor puts him in the race with strong backing. Dr. Mood consents tobe a candidate. Capt. W. R. Delgar is said to be a candi? date for the Mayorship. There are quite a number of tickets spoken of, and as the arrangements are innumerable, it is impossible'to give more than a few of them. The ticket most talked of during the past few dav s is as follows: Mayor, J. A. Mood. Aldermen, R. P. Monaghan, Perry Moses, Frank O'Donnell, A. Moses Here is another ticket, Mayor J. A. Mood. Aldermen. Neil O'Donnel, J. B Carr, Barlow Walsh, A Moses. Capt. B G Pierson is in the race for Mayor and bas strong support. The coonci? elected at the approaching election will have the spending Jof $100. OOO for the improvement of the citv. The utmost care in selecting should be exercised. The absorbing topic of conversation this week, has been the approaching municipal slectioe. The regfetratioo books are now open at the 31erk and Treasurer's office. Let no voter latl to cegistec.

While under other circumstances 1 would persist in refusing to enter municipal politic*, I feel that so strong a petition of my fellow citizens demands consideration, and I would be recreant to duty were I to fail to comply. I will therefore cheerfully allow rav name, to be used at the meeting on the 23rd inst, as a candidate for the office.

H. A Difference of Opinion. SUMTER, March 10, 1892. Editor Watchman and Southron : Replying io your comment in \ esterday's issue I beg to state that I did not say that "Sumter is rife with scandals." You. how? ever, did not deny that what was published was true. Whether a "notion of what is news'' is :'perverted," subverted, inverted, diverted, or verted otherwise isa matter of opinion, merely. The intimation in the last sentence of your comment does not square with the four cor? neas of hard facts, and is gratuitous bes'ides. ?3 a fact, the wri:er does not go "nosing ?round after something rotten," but when it is in the atmosphere one cannot w*ll avoid 3tneiling it. I conceive it to be the duty of a correspon? dent to give all the news of public interest, whe'her it be good, bad or ind'fferent-. He is not ^responsible for the facis. Yours for news. SUMTER COR.

Thorons, with the request that it ae published as a reply to our editorial of ;ast week, "B!arne the Demagogues" : WEDGEFIELD, March 12, 1892. Editor Watchman and Southron : You musn't get mad and abuse people be? cause your little scheme to re-organize the rom.ty by a ma'ss meeting failed. Your nieet ng was a good one, it showed those patriots ?hom you say are "possessed of clear judg? ment patriotic loyaltj to the party and love or their country," that the people mean to ;,tote fair." The meeting did remind me of ?omething I read the other d*y During the war when Sherman's army appeared on the ?ills near a certain town, a nervous gentle? man rushed into the Mayor and said. "Good rracious man, call out the citizens, don't you iee that horde of yankees !" "Yes, I see hem, but I can do nothing, there are not fifty nen in town. Call out the citizens man ind leis pass some resolutions." Col. Dargan says the "Senator elect" rush id into Mr. Haynsworth and said, "Call out he citizens, don't you see Keels has called ogether the Ex. Com and some of our boys ire going to makepeace. Call out the citi ;ens, quick now and let us resolute. The all was issued and they resoluted. What aore do you want? The people want peace nd they mean to have it in the legitimate raj--inside the Democratic party. H. R. THOMAS. Dots From Rembergs. Mr: Editor: Judging from certain indica tous and also from whisperings which were orne to cur ears by the gentle breezes.it . ould appear, first, that some residents of his glorious old commonwealth are very niious to see that little piece I told yon I . ould send you (you remember, about that aJlot box having legs, don't you); second, he promise to do this tiling has disturbed the eacefui serenity of some people's minda ; hird, that your correspondent had better lercise some forethought before writing this rticle Now, I would like to know why nybody's mind should he distcirned when I esire to give to the public one of the gem's f ancient literature? Ofcourse.it will'be ecessary for me to exercise some forethought, lasrouch, as it might not prove such a gem ' given as I remember it, consequently I will ave to read up a little so as to be more able y reproduce it correctly It does not occur 3 roe that any of the present cititens were ^habitants of this earth at that time, BO why bould it disturb anybody.
