Death.
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

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

oared to the benefit of our city, there might
ie a shadow of excuse for the alliance ; but
he greater part of it goes away to the

1 divided between the city and the liquor
eller. The liquor seller spends his part(wi$e

a the employment of men to keep the cus

-Gentlemen-It has not been my intention
to stand for the office of mayor and I had on
more than one occasion, so expressf d myself.
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.
The following gentlemen have rrqnested me
to erase their names from the above petition,
as on second thought they prefer to go in the
mass meeting unpledged : W H Ingram, W
Alston Pringle, Jr, W H Yates, H Frank

Respec.fully,

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.

ae published as a reply to our editorial of

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.

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. I am geing to
?nd that piece Mr. Editor as soon as ? get a
.'?sure day, and i'll write about IT90, if the
gures are not misprinted
Farm work is progressing rapidly, and all

[From the Pioneer Tobacco Farmer of S. C.]
OFFICE OF F. M. RWDGERS, JR.,
FLORENCE, S. C., Jan. 18, 1892.
Quinnipiac Company: I used your "Pine
Island" Fertilizer on my Tobacco crop last
yenr, and can say that the results were all
that could be expected. I have never used a
fertilizer that the results were belter. lean
heartily recommend it to all tobacco growers
as a first-class fertilizer for growing fine
tobacco. I shall use it this rear.
