Privateer Personals. PRIVATEER, Jan. 28, 1893 Our new pasto*, ?he Rev. D W. Hiott, preached his second regular sermon at Bethel Chorea yesterday to a large cooeregation. It is certainly a pleasant thing to have pastor settled at the parsonage and oar peo? ple are pleased with fcotb Mr. Hiott and his family. He will preach at Bethel the second and fourth Sunday of each mooth. Since he came amongst os, Mr. Hiott has preached ooe funeral sermon, that of Mrs. Rebecca Jackson, a well-known and kind? hearted old lady of this township. She was buried last Thursday afternoon at Bethel. Our trial justice, Mr. W. A. Nettles, has a rather remarkable family history ; hi? ancestors io the male Hoe back to bis great great-grandfather, lived io the neighborhood of where Bethel Church now stands aod be also li768 io tbe same neighborhood. Among Privateer's teachers are two of Sumter's yoong ladies-Misses Mamie Mccal? lum and Bessie Keels. McD. F. SHILOH NEWS. Tobacco Barns Going Up All Over the County. SHILOH, S. C., Jan. 23, 1895. Editor Watchman and Southron: Building tobacco barns, sowing tobacco beds, from which to transplant, and trying to keep from starving ontil another crop is made, is about tbe order of the day down here. At least 75 per cent, of the farmers io this section are going, and hare gone, into the tobacco cu 1 ture this year. Kto? cotton no longer sits upon the* throne. Kiog, elect, tobacco is about to succeed him, and will (io a part of his kingdom) unless a successful cootel is made soon. Mr. Wm. Cole aod bride of the Fork, near Manning, paid us a flying visit last week. We suppose the reason be came io upon us so suddenly, and left so soon, was to avoid another one of those "serenades" like the boys gave bim the night be was married. Two evangelists, Revs. Harrisons, are preaching a series of sermons at Friendship, some miles from this place. The meeting is attracting considerable attention. The preachers are twio brothers, and they look and dress precisely alike. They appear to be well educated and preach excellent sermons. They are assisted by the Rev. ?lr. Baggett, pastor of the church. Our school will soon be closed, unless we can secare the services of our worthy and roost efficieot teacher, Miss Macett McCutchen, for aoother term. Pleasaot Grove school, taoghtby Mr. T. B. Rbame, bas closed until next fall. Thegreat scarcity of money-hard times in general-is playing havoc with our schools. AGICOLA. Wedgefield Letter. WEDGEFIELD, Jan. 29, 1895. The following may be of ioterest as a con? tinuation of Mr. McDonald F arman's article published in last week's issue. Gen. Marion's main object in adopting his great nephew, Francis Dwight, was to perpetuate the Manoo name, theo almost extinct. Francis Dwight Marios married, March 28th, 1799, Charlotte Kirk, who Cied without issue in about a year. He married, April 8th, 1801, her twin sister, Harriet Kirk. By this marriage was born eight daughters and no son. The lady referred to by Mr. Forman, Mts. Catharine Courturier Palmer, nee Marion, mother of Mrs. Bishop Capers, is now 88 years of age, the only one living. Since last Friday there have been six thefts committed in this immediate vicinity. Mr. J. B. Ryon's smoke bouse was robbed of twelve pieces of meat. Mr. S. W. Wilson's chicken house of six bens, Mr. J. C. Single? ton's poultry yard of eight hens, Richard Gaymcn's potato house of a good many potatoes, Esau Green, colored, had his house robbed and as the robbers left they set fire to toe boose. This happeoed last Saturday in the broad daylight The fire was discovered in time to save the boose. Mr. Ay cock's store on bis Tiverton farm was entered on last Friday night before 9 o'clock. Money was evidently what they were after, as they took little else. There was only 35 cents in the money drawer, which of course they took with a piece of the money drawer. No clue to any of the above robberies. This really looks as if there is a great deal of troth in the negroes saying they are delighted at the recent change in trial justices. They do not seem to fear Judge Kelly at al), tho' the Judge was heard to remark oo yesterday that he must do about cid catch up with some of these fellows. He himself recently lost a nice bog. Your correspondent was urged again by others of oar best citizens to mention again about the road from Wedgefield to Sumter. Really we bare no road, and any of os goiog to Sumter by private cooveyaoce is liable to be prosecuted for driving over plowed op fields of private individuals. Any ooe doubting this will please attempt to drive from Sumter to Wedgefield. We in? tend to kick 'till se met bing is done. We are only contending for our jost dues as citizens and tax payers.

CITY of MEXICO, _Jan. 26.-The morning newspapers preserve strict silence as to the government's pro? gramme in the dispute with Guate? mala. At the departments all in? quirers are met with absolute refusal to discuss the situation, although an official statement in the near future is hinted. Guatemala's reply to Mexico's final demands is still a cabinet secret, although numberless wild rumors as o its contents spread hourly. Last night there was a report that Senor Mariscal of the; foreign office had received notice from Guatemala that she was ready to grant Mexico's request as to the frontier lands and to indemnify the country for the expense incurred incidentally to the dispute. To-day this was denied officially. Au extra force of men worked in the citadel and arms factory ali uight. The Twenty-fifth regiment is here preparing for heavy marcbiog NEW YORK, Jan. 26.-A Guate? mala special says: Senor De Leon, the special envoy sent to Mexico to negotiate an adjustment of the diffi? culties over the boundary line be? tween th*two countries, telegraphs that Mexico is making active prep? arations for war. Upon receipt'of this news, trie Guatemalan government wired to Senor De Leon, authorizing him to make concessions if no further delay can be obtained _IM I I Ml _ Don't worry. Don't run in debt.

It is the best of blood-purifi The Re-organization Of the State Militia Force Entered Upon. The reorganization of the militia forces of tbe State, which it was de? cided must come as a result of the Dar? lington trouble, is now about to be made under the provisions of the new militia law enacted at the last session of the General Assembly. It is ex? pected that the reorganization will be completed within the next fortnight. Adjutant General Watts, is particu? larly desirous that this shall be done. It seems that the scheme for the reor? ganization as provided in the new law lets down the bars for all the suspended companies to go back into service again along with all new companies. The old organization was a State volun? teer organization. Under the reorgan? ization the new force is to be a regularly enlisted force-every man taking an oath to serve for two years and obey the commander-in-chief and and other superior officers. While this bas been implied heretofore, it has never been a requirement. THE REORGANIZATION CIRCULAR. The following is the circular letter, looking to the reorganization, as issued from the Adjutant General's office : COLUMBIA, S. C., Jan. 26, 1894. DEAR SIR : Enclosed find enlistment blanks accordiog to the act passed by the last Legislature amending the mili? tia laws of the State. The oath or af? firmation which you will find on the enlistment blanks must be administered by a commissioned officer, as you can readily understand from the blanks. I am very anxious to have the papers re? turned as soon as possible, so that I { may know which companies desire to enlist. The rolls must be. made in trip-1 lioate-one to be kept by the command- j ing officer of the company, one to be j forwarded to the colonel of the regiment j and the other to be forwarded to the j Adjutant and Inspector General. I am ! very anxious to issue orde'rs for the annual inspection within the next fif- j teen days and desire every blank to be returned by that time. Each member of a company is re? quired to sign the oath or affirmation in his own handwriting. And in the fu? ture no one Trill be allowed to pass in? spection that is not certified to by the commanding officer as being an active and enrolled member. It is my inten? tion to prevent companies in the future from picking up men here and there in order to have the number required by law to pass inspection. Heretofore, I am afraid that too much stress has been laid upon the number and not upon the efficiency of the men. And in this connection I will say that in the j future a more thorough inspection will be required. It is my intention and de? sire to h?ve a limited, well drilled and equipped force. As soon as the number of companies which desire to enlist is ascertained, a general order will be is? sued reorganizing the militia and or? ganizing the compaoies into such divis? ions, brigades, regiments and battalions as the commander-in-chief may deem j expedient. By order J. GARY WATTS, Adjutant and Inspector General. THE ENLISTMENT OATH. The following is a copy of the elist tnent blanks now beiog sent out, con? taining the oath to be administered. The oath is an interesting one, when one recalls the events of last spring : ENLISTMENT ROLL. Company-, Battalion -, Regi 1 ment-, Brigade-, Division Be it remembered that on this - day of - A. D. 1895, we the subscri? bers thereto, having agreed to enter and having now entered the service of the State of South Carolina in the capacity of the militia of the said State for the period of two years, dc agree to take tbe following oath as required by law : You do solemnly swear, (or affirm) that you will bear true alle? giance to the United States and the State of South Carolina, and that you will support the Constitution thereof; that you will serve the State of South Carolina faithfully in its military ser? vice for the term of two years, unless sooner discharged, or you cease to be a citizen thereof; that you will obey the orders of the commander-in-chief and such officers that may be placed over you, and the laws governing the mili? tary forces of the State of South Caro? lina, so help you God. (Signed by) Captain - 1st Lieut. 2d Lieut Jr. 2d Lieut. Copies of both the circular and the enlistment blanks are being mailed to , all points in the State as rapidly z? pos? sible. The Adjutant General say3 the com? mission provided for in the act, to consist of himself, the Governor and i one major general, which will have j charge of the matter of making rules ' for tbe government of the force, will be j appointed shortly. He says but little ? change in the rules will be made. The other commission provided for, ( to distribute the ordnance stores will j not b? appointed for some time. Many stubborn and aggravating cases of rheumatism that were believed to be incur? able ttnd accepted &3 life legacies, have yielded to Chamberlain's Pain Balm, much to ? the surprise and gratification of the sufferers. ' One application will relieve the pain and i suffering and its continued use insures an ! effectual cure. For sale by Dr. A. J. China. ! School Books H. G. Osteen & Co. Native Eay for Sale by W. M.
