Important to Tobacco Planters. j
John M. Estes, superintendant of the To
bacco Department of tbeCoIurabian Exposition
has requested Mr. W. fl. Gardner, of Rem
berts, to prepare an exhibit of the tobacco
of Sumter County. Mr. Gardner b?3 consent
ed to do so and requests the co-operation of
the tobacco planters of the country. He
desires a sample?about one or two pounds?
of the best grade from each farm, which be
will arrange in the most attracuve^manner.
The county will get the credit of the exhibit,
and it will be of great benefit as an advertise
ment of the county and its resources. Mr.
Gardner has only a few months in which
to prepare the exhibit and consequently
be desires to secure tbe samples as soon
as possible. As he is doing the work vol
untarily and without remuneration, we
hope he will be aided in every way pos
posaible by each and every tobacco farmer in
the county. Address samples to W. II.

Mr. J. P. Rich bourg died at the home of

The Ohandler Homicide.
W. B. Boyle, proprietor of the Central
Market, McGuionis Block, shot and killed
D. Wesley Chandler ou Wednesday night
last, a few minutes before 8 o'clook.
The facts of the case, as obtained from the
evidence taken at the icquest and elsewhere,
are as follows :
Chandler had been in the employ of Boyle,
but was discharged a week cr two ago on
account of dishonesty, whi;h Boyle claims
to have discovered. Chaddler claimed that
Boyle owed him a balance on salary, and had
been pushing for a settlement ; at the same
time denying the charge of dishonesty.
On the night of the shooting, Chandler
had been sitting in the front of Boyle's shop*
and when Boyle came to the door Chandler
cursed bim and told bim not to come outside.
Boyle told Chandler to go away, that be had
taken more from him than he ever had taken
from any mac. Boyle then sent for chief
Weeks to take Chandler away. Mr. Weeks
carried Chandler away and told him that
he must not interfere with Boyle. In a few
minntes Chandler returned and walked direct
ly into Boyle's shop and back to the wire
partition across it. As he walked in Boyle
said to his clerk Mr. O E. Webber, that he
did not want Chat.dler in his shop and to tell
him to get out. Webber met Chandler at the
door in the wire partition and told him not
to come in. Chandler pushed his way in and
Boyle almost immediately fired, hitting
Chandler in the stomach. Chandler reeled
and Koyle fired again, hitting bim in the mid
dte of the back. Both balls went entirely
through Chandler, and either would have
caused death. Chandler was taken to the Beil
Room, and Drs A. J. China and S. C. Baker j
summoned. Tbey pronounced the wounds
mortal and told Chandler that be had better i
make a statement at once if he desired to make
one. Chandler refused to make a statement,
contending to the last that he would not die.
He lingered until about 7 o'clock Thursday
morning and died. His remains were taken
to Mayesville, his old home, for interment on
Friday.
Boyle was arrested immediately after the
shooting and committed to jail.
Deputy-Corooer, S. A. Norris summoned a
jury and held an inquest over the body of
Chandler on Thursday morning. The fol- J
lowing verdict was rendered after hearing the
testimony of Drs. China and Baker, police
men Geo. C. Belk and C. P. Barwick, and 0.
E. Webber.
"That the said D.W. Chandler came to
his death in the city of Sumter, Sumter
County in said State.'Sept. 8,A D. 1892, from
gunshot wounds made by a pistol in the
hands of W. B. Boyle, on the evening of
Sept. 7, A. D. 1892, in said citv, County and
State."
D. Wesley Chandler was well known in
thiseounty as a merchant of Mayesville for
several years. He removed to this city last
spring and was for several months in the em
ploy of Boyle. He leaves a wife but no chil
dren.
Messrs Lee & Moise have been retained, as
attorneys, by Boyle.
Judge Fraser released W. B. Boyle on bail
yesterday morning. Boyle gave bond in the
sum of $2000.
The Defeated Philosopher.
We were an office-seeker, but no race with
them we ran.
For thirty years we waited 'til the office
sought the man,
And when our friends, elected, had served
their terras and died
We saw the office coming with melancholy
stride.
We went to meet it, but it missed us, by o'er
2,000 votes ;
And here we areas lonesome a3 tho' we'd
?we'd?er?belonged to the goats.
Yes, we've been a candidate, and it wasn't
such a bowling success nolber, (the Lord help
us, and forgive U3 and bless us,) but we've
nearly recovered from the attack. It was
severe while it lasted, but is seldom fatal,
though the after effects leaves one in a sort of
asiate of ? er? obsquatulation, as it were,
and mystification. The mystification is
especially trying, as for instance: according
to the tabulated statement there were 2640
votes polled in Sumter County and yet it
seems to us we must have received about 3,000
promises, direct and indirect. There is some
thing wrong somewhere. Now we've won
dered whether there mightn't be two sets of
voters in thiseounty. Those that promised
the other fellows and voted, and those that
promised ue and wouldn't or couldn't or
didn't vote, or whether it whs tbe managers,
or the returning board, or the lies told to us,
or the lies told on us, or ? or the lies we
told ; but be it how it may, tberejare about
2715 votes that are due us that we didn't get,
and there's something wrong, and if you don't
believe it we c^n prove it by 40 odd good and
true men of Sumter County who also got left,
also by Mr. Thomas. And now wo preemp
torily move, and we 3econd the motion and
also decide it as unanimously adopted, that
we the 40 odd defeat-er? de? defrauded
and bereaved candidates do meet in general
assembly, on the 31st of September for tbe
purpose of organizing a new party?or a new
county, we don't care a drat which. Now i
brethren, if you bave a drop of campaign
spirits left in you. you will not tamely sub
mit to the- burdening yoke of ? er ? of ?
submit to trie mistaken decision of these mis
led and err::)g voters Be men ! Think of
the sharply fought campaign from the open
ing skirmish at "Pinch em sly" to the last
historical battle of Shiioh, during all which
you were ever to the front and ready to an
swer to your names, no matter who called
'em. Think of our best clothes all damaged
by the du=: and dampness. Think of the
north-east corner of our Sunday hat rini3
riow in a most melancholy state of dilapida
tion from being used as a hnridle in bowing
to 'he 'de:?r people," (drat 'em.j Think of
our sweilcd he.i4s and bij* he.nds before, :md
oar sore heads since the 30;'* nit., and decide I
if we are not worthy of? er-- of a be zier re
ward, than getting left. Come over, all of
you, and bring the best spirits you car.
There's enough of us to do something or lick
somebody. We've got it to do. There's a j
darkey the other day saying : "Dere .Mas Bill
now, he gone roun de county and been raek
speech and mek sreech and a:a' raek no crop.
Dere Mas Shep, he been lectione-T and let de
worrura eat up all e tobacco, and dere Mas
Dan, he loss all e religion, and Mas Guv he
gwineroun talkin sump'n noderbouthe bility
and whole passel people der wait fur 'em to
shappen de gin." This will not do. Let the I
stoutest plank in our platform, our watch
word and battle cry be, "No more defeated
candidates! Guv.
P. S.?We would privately explain that
we don't know if-our head is sore or no, we
can only say that if this is sorehead we hope
it will remain so, for we are very calm and
serene.
To our frier.ds who voted for us we ?eturn
our sincere and hearty thanks, =owy they lost }
their vote, and can only promise to make
thiogs even whenever they are fool enough to |
run for office. Our consolation is tbat we j
have 2^5 personal and individual friends in I
Samter County, for we don't believe we got
8 single political vote. We only wish there
were 365 of era, one for every day in the year, j
we'd go round and speed a day and night j
with each and get through the year very com- j
for tub l y ; but us it is, we've got b*0 days to <
provide for somehow and only about 80 cents
to do it with and this sort of financering is a
little beyond our "ability."
To the successful candidates, one and all,
we extend our hearty congratulations, none
the less hearty because we are "not in it" and
didn't "git there Eli." To the people of
Sumter County we'd say that we regrrt they
have lost our valuable services, for we should
certainly have served them "to the best of our
ability." Guv.

Shiloh, S. C, Sept. '0 1892.
Notwithstanding the many revolutions of
the earth since I last wrote you, this little
village holds her position, and is as peaceful
and serene as ever. Homicides, suicides and
assaults of varions natures are rife in the land;
but old Shiloh steers clear, and there's noth
ing to chronicle against her.
Our farmers are all busy geathering cotton
and putting it in market order. The crop is
a little short. Early corn yielded well, late
corn is injured by drouth.
Our mill man, Mr. Walter Green, has his
gin in fine trim and is making the lint fly.
Our young Dr. Wbitehead, after a long ill
ness is recovering.
Mrs. Gamble is at Mr. R. A. Frierson's very
ill.
Mr. D. M. Green is replenishing his stock.
Our political agitation is simmering down
now and we are glad to bear testimony to* it.
Wbat we all desire, or should desire, is justice,
peace and unity : the latter two can not exist
lone without the former.
Our school is not yet re-opened, but we ex
pect to be in harness soon
You'll hear fron us again before long.
