The PUat System, io connection with tbe Atlantic Coast Line was selected as tbe official route from Florida to Washington by the Koigbts of Pythias. Sp?cial train left Jacksonville 3.20 p m., Centra) Time, August 26::3, Savannah 6.38 p. m., Charles? ton 8.43, Florence 11.34 p. m., Richmond 5.10 a. m., and arrived at Washington 8 09 a. m., Eastern Time, making tbe mn from Jacksonville to Washington in fifteen hours and 49 minutes, a distance of 778 miles, the quickest time ever made between these two points, beating the record made by the F. C. & P , and the R k D'. R. R., April 26th, 1894, by two boure and forty-one min? utes. After deducting stops we bave a record of seven hundred and eighty miles in eight hundred and eighty minutes, an average speed for the entire distance of fifty-five and a half miles per hour. Tbe fastest time was ! oo the Northeastern Road from Charleston to j Florence-distance ninety-six miles-in nine j ty-nine and a half minutes. From this we j should deduct two slow downs and five min I utes for draw-bridge and water. This would make a phenomenal run of ninety-six miles i ? about 93 minutes. Tbe time made by the special over the Atlaotic Coast Line lowers all previous records two hours and forty-one minutes. Mistaken Identity. Among the curiosities of politics must te recorded the ludicrous mistake of his boner Judge H. L. B. Wells. Judge Wells stamped the county last week with tbe candidates for tbe Legislature aod county offices, under the supposition that be was one of the Reform nominees as a delegate to the State Conven? tion. At Pleasant Grove, be spoke enthusi? astically and vehemently, urging bis fellow citizens to vote for bim and tbe other Reform delegates. At Bisbopville be did likewise, ' also at Rattlesnake Springs, where tbe Reformers were to bave a little private meet? ing on Friday, and although it is another story a mention of tbe fact cannot be withheld that Capt. Charlie Williamson beard about tbe meeting and was on band with an hour and a half speech mach to the disgrunde? ruen t of some of the Reformers, who did not fancy his exposition of the provisions of tbe new county Goveromeot law. Bat to retara to Jadge Wells On Satur? day be tamed ap at Wedgefield and was one of the Forty-Eigbt who graced that meeting. He was cocked and primed to make a speech, bot as noce of tbe candidates spoke be refrained also. It came to light at Wedgefield that Judge Wells, was not tbe man nominated by the Reformers, aod that all bis eloquence was lost as far as the judge* himself was concerned. Mr. K. E. Wells was the man nominated, and by some cations mental phenomena Judge Wells imagined that be was the man. It is ta be boped however tbat Judge Wells' speeches will be like bread cast upon the waters, for it 'twere a pity tbat it should all be wholly and forever wasted. mm ? * ? ? - - Harper's Magazine.

Editor of the Watchman and Southron : I wish to call tbe .mention of your readers to the meetiog of the Interdenominational Couoty Sunday School Association to be held at Bisbopville on the 4th day of September prox. Exercises to begin at 12 o'clock. It is earnestly boped that this meeting will be an unusually good one It is true this is the campaign year and the minds of tbe people are considerably enlisted in campaign matters, but this should not prevent interest in this great Christian undertaking. Nothing can exceed Sunday School work in importance, and this interdenominational enterprise pro? mises large benefits to all enlisted in it Where there is no township association organized individual churches ?bould send delegates, and all superintendents of Sunday Schools are earnestly invited by the executive committee to attend. There will be many i interesting and instructive addresses delivered, i no doubt, and the Bishopville Sunday Schools j will, we expect, furnish delightful music. ! Altogether it promises to be an occapion i memorable in the annals of Sunday School I work in Sumter County. We hope you will j call editorial notice to this meeting, that all cay be informed of its coming and its importance. A SUPERINTENDENT. The Primary Election Returns. ! We publish to-day a complete return from j every club, of tbe Primary Election beld ! yesterday. We have made an especial effort j to get these reports in time for this isuue of : tbe Watchman and Southron, having arranged j io advance for a special report to be sent to j this office from each voting place. We think our readers ?ill find the figures are correct. Our thanks are tendered to our correspond? ents for the promptness with which they sent i in their reports-some of them over 20 miles ! away in the country having reached us last night, so that before ll o'clock we were in possession of all but about six returns, and enough know with almost certainly the re? sult. The Watchman and Southron's Special Returns were in great demand last night. ? Our returns were tbe only information re ; ceived from a number of the clubs, and as soon as they were received we bad them read out to tbe waitiog crowd io Ron. Altamont Moses's office. Tbe Extras which were issued from ibis office this morning io obedience to tbe great demand, were inaccurate io several parti? culars, ootably in the totals, which were made op in baste by eight or tea different per? sons working together. We shall print a oumber of corrected extras, and any who wish to preserve them as records can obtain tbem by applying at this office. Those who purchased tbe ? first edition can exchange withont extra cost, and get the accurate re? turn. The vote was ligbt, much lighter than we expected, but notwithstanding tbe over? confidence of a large cumber of Conservatives, the Conservative ticket is elected, as a whole. We take this occasion to congratulate the i ?corni Dg officers. The examination for tbe scholarship in Woffbrd College Fitting School will be held on Sept. 14th instead of the 15th. Castoria is truly a marvelous thing for I children. Doctors prescribe it, medical jour? nals recommend it and more than a million mothers are using it in place of Paregoric, Bateman's Drops, so-called sootbing syrups and other narcotic and stupefying remedies. Castoria is the quickest thing to regulate tbe stomach and bowels and give healthy sleep tbe world bas ever seen. It is pleasant to tbe taste and absolutely harmless. It relieves constipation, quiets pain, cures diarrhoea aod wiod colic, feverishness, destroys worms, and prevents convulsions, soothes tbe child and gives' it refreshing and natural sleep. Castoria is the children's panacea-the mother's friend. Castoria is put up in ooe-size bottles on ly. It is not sold io bulk. Don't allow any one to sell you anything else on the plea or promise tbat it is "jost as good" and "will answer every purpose " See that yob get C-A-S-T-O-R-I-A. The fae- _ is on They Want Names.

How a Little Boy Taught His Father the Best Way to Do. Clerk of Court Arthur has a six year-old son who is loved hy all who know him for his bright and happy nature. Some time ago something like a wen formed on the forehead of the little fellow and grew to a consider? able size One day, in talking to his wife in the presence of the little fellow, Mr. Arthur suggested that while the boy was asleep Mrs. Arthur take something Hat like the back of a hair brush and strike the object so as to make it scatter, this being a. remedy used by physicians with success. Mr Arthur thought no more of the matter for a few minutes until he heard a blow. Returning to where his parents were sitting, the little fellow, who was half laughing aad half crying, said : "I done hit it and it will go away." Sure euough the little fellow had gone into a room, picked up a bair brush and struck the swelling a blow. It soon after disappeared. Several days ago Mr. Arthur was doing some work around his house. While lifting a plank it fell on his head, causing a big knot to rise. After finishing Mr. Arthur sat down to read. His little son was play around bim. Mr. Arthur asked the boy if he did not want to feel an egg, and placed the little fellow's hand on the knot. The little fellow went away and Mr. Arthur continued to read. In a short time he heard | the little fellow ask if the egg was still there. Mr.' Arthur, who was reading something interesting, answered in the affirmative without paying any attention to the youth. Suddeuly Mr. Arthur felt a sting blow on the knot and the little fellow shouted : "Mow, father, the egg will go away." The boy had decided that the egg needed to be scattered and proceeded to scatter it by means of a hair brush, and on his "own hook."-Columbia Register.

While pure Water may not cure Fever-certainly it may be largely the means of preventing illness, and we all know that "an ounce of prevention is worth a pound pf cure." We are told that there is not a case of fever in a family where our Water is used. We quote from a recent article in New York Evening Post : "As water ts the chief medium through which the germ is transmitted, we generally nod that typhoid breaks out sporadically, each colony being formed and bouoded by the number of people who have used the same well. " careful search is made one often finds that the vault or cesspool bas been carelessly constructed and located quite near the well. Frequently it is found in the same or a higher level. If the soil is porous or sandy and the strata are accommoda? ting, it is quite an easy matter for the germ to travel io sewage for twenty-five or fifty feet, it has even been known to go twice that distance. Most of those who drink the contaminated water contract the disease and carelessness in dis prying of excreta in these cases many ti mees leads to a further spreading of the di.-easte. "In country towns and villages little or nothing is done to prevent outbreaks such as have been seen recently in the suburbs. It seems that physicians in the local health boards do not know enough of the disease to be impressed with tbe dangers of allowing it to spread. Another powerful factor with them, which in many cases prevents them from taking active steps, is their desire to avoid a 'scare.7' which they think would injure the reputation of the town and drive away summer visitors from the hotels. This agument has great force, with, and undoubtedly leads to tbe hiding of many cases under 'he vague term of malaria or something of the sort. Join our army of 'pure water consumers now-before it is too late. Low Rates-Best Service-Pure Water. H. B. BLOOM Sup't SUMTER WATER COMPANY, PUBLIC NOTICE. GRADED SCHOOLS.
