Editor Watchman and Southron: At the re? cent meeting of the Interdenominational Sunday School Coo o ty Convention of Sumter County held at Bishopville twenty-two Sun? day Schools were represented, showing an enrollment of 1209 scholars and 121 teachers. Mr. S. D. M. LaCoste, of St. Charle? wai elected president ; Jas. E. Rembert, treasurer; W. A. James, jr., Secretary. Executive Com? mittee-B. F. Jones, chairman, C. M. Hurst, Jr., J. E. McCutcben, J. Edwin Bembert, Daniel A. Keels. AH missionary work was entrusted to Executive Committee. The following were ?elected .as delegates to nest State Convention : B. F. Jones, J. J. Dargan, J. W. English, W. J. Young, C. M. Hurst, Jr., D. J. Auld. This couuty organization was found to be in debt and on motion all schools were re? quested to take one collection and send same to B, F. Jones, Chairman Executive Commit? tee, Lynchburg, S. C., for the purpose of defraying said indebtedness. W. A. JAMES, JR., Secretary. Letter From Hagood. HAGOOO, S. C., Sept. 27, 1894. Mr. Editor: I saw in your paper that the colt show will be ooe of the important features of the approaching Carnival, but I have never seen what the different prizes will be-which is very important to those who intend to show their colts. So if you can, I wish yon would let us know in your next paper, what the prizes will be, class, etc. Allow me to suggest to the committee that I Thick it woold be advisable to give a prize for tbe best saddle colt under four years old, and connty raised. A good saddle norse is worth lots to a tanner, and especially where he runs a big farm. Tbe storm last Wednesday night did our part of tbe county at mach damage aa the storm of last year. There was lots of cotton open in the fields and nearly one-fourth of it was blown ont. With a storm once a year and 5 to 6 cte cotton one can not make ex? penses farming. Miss Elise Stoney, who has been visiting her sister, Mrs. T. O. Sanders, jr., left for ber home in Allendale, last Wednesday. I understand that a great many hogs have died aronnd Hagood lately. Mr. A. K. Sanders is buying lots of cot? ton at our little town, which ia convenient to a good many of ut. Mr. C. W. Sanders had bis little race mare bitten by a snake about ten days ago, which wili ruin ber for any use at all. It is horrible to see what a fix she is in. There bas been a great many deaths among the negroes here lately. Still the health of our community is good. "AXTI." Wedgefield Letter. WBDGKFIKLD, S. C., Oct. 2, 1894 The storm last week injured the pea, late corn and bay crops very much. Cotton was also considerably damsged, and it is es ti-' mated that from a fifth to a third of that which was open was destroyed. Miss Elise Singleton sailed from Charles? ton on the Iroquois on last Friday for New Jersey via New York, where she returns to i teach art in De Mille's Preparatory School. Mr. W. T. Aycock left at the same time for j New York City, where he returns to pursue bis studies in law at the Columbia Law ? School. Miss Phoebe Troublefield has returned to Clifford Female Seminary, Union, S. C., where she bas been for the past three years. It is late for such a craze to be just striking us, but it is only within the past few weeks j that bicycles have created much excitement in our town, but now it is very lively with ibem, and more are bound to be purchased very soon. So far the ladies have been spec? tators only, but they do not fail to cist a 1 wishful eye as the wheelmen pass by. They j look as if "me too" is a constant thought. ! To join the Home Product Co-operative will cost you $5.00 aod then one dollar when a member dies-about $10 per annum. That is cheap enough for $1,000 insurance. Losses cost old lines less than that, with all their expenses. Co-operation beats the world for low rates in anything. Logan Notes LOGAN, S. C., Sept. 29, 1894. This neighborhood bas been visited again bj another heavy storm that was folly as bad as the disaster in August, 1893. The storm reached hereon the 27th, and continued about twenty-four boars, blowiog at the rate of about forty miles an hour, tumbling over chimneys and uprooting trees and moreover damaging crops. Cotton is damaged in this section fifty per cent, corn is estimated at a little less. It is a distressing time with the farmers in this locality because most of the farmers of this community owe the merchants for their supplies and the low price of cotton has disheartened them, Sugar cane raising is a general thing ia this section. There are several sogbum mills in this country. Mrs. M. J. Logan has been visiting ber daughter Mrs. Ard, of Ale?lo, S. C. The general health of this community is very"goo<3'. - HAPPY JAKE. There is no use in writing on shoddy paper when good, smooth paper can be bought from H. G. Osteen & Co., for the same price. H. G. Osteen ? Co., make a specialty of paper, and BOW have the finest and most complete selection of paper ever in Sumter. They sell more paper for the same money than can be bought elsewhere. Store on Liberty street next to the Watchman and Southron office.. Why continue paying to foreigners all we can make for life insurance wben we can get better results at home for one-third the cost ? and the money is kept at home where we need it. This is co-operative life. Tbe Home Product Co-operative Life is not a "wildcat" scheme. Iris baaed on sound principles, and experience of ali life insurance from the beginning of toe business. It is new and avoids the errors of the old. Dr. J. A. Mood will be the medical examiner in chief, and they intend to require as careful examina? tion as any insurance company. School teachers and school trustees can be accommodated and saved much trouble by sending a list of books needed to H. G. Osteen k Cb. China's Soda is cold and 6ne, and good enough to quiet any one's mind. If you have no Life Insurance don't fail to consider the scheme of the Home Product. It is officered by men we all have confidence in, and it is a home enterprise that should be "encouraged," and the "encouragement" will not be ail one-sided. If yon can divide your insurance it is a safe plan to carry eggs ia different baskets. Ask Mr. A. G. Warren about it. He can tell you something about Life Insurance you never thought of.

It is a bicycle railroad, with cars seating forty or fifty persons-the cars being rna on a single rail and connecting with a guide overhead, sup? ported by upright poles. The Motor and cars are propelled, heated, and lighted by electricity obtained from thia guide. - Tbe tra?na are noiseless when moving, they cannot leave the track, and have reached a velocity of a mlle a min?te. A superb automatic block system to prevent collision will be introduced, which abats of tbe power in the old block wheo entering the new one. A correspondent who visited tbe road for "Harper's Yoong People" makes au interest? ing comparison as between this and the ; larger railroads on which steam is employed as the motor.

McKinsey, postmaster of lCoi:onx>, Ind., and a brave ex-soldier, -'ays: "I had been severely troubled itu heart disease ever since leaving . *.ic army at the close of the late war. i was tumbled with palpitation and shortness of breath. I could not sleep on my left side and had pain around my heart I became so ill that I was much alarmed, and for? tunately my attention was called to i Dr. Miles' Heart Cure I decided to try it.
