Weekly Weather Crop j
Bulletin
For South Carolina.
Columbia, S. C, August 6, 1895. !
The temperature was much lower '
than usual during the middle of the
week, especially in the interior of
the State. The nights were particu
larly cool in the extreme western .
counties. The average temperature
was two degrees per day cooler than ?
the usual. The highest temperature
reputed was 98 on July 31st at
Spartanburg ; the lowest 55 on the
2d at Central The mean tempera
ture of the week for the State was 78, i
and the normal for the same period I
is approximately 80.
With unimportant exceptions, the i
entire rainfall for the week fell on the
evening of the 3d and during the 4th.
(Saturday and Sunday ) It was in
sufficient in the counties where most
needed, and was excessive in Beau
fort County where the fall was heav
iest, generally more than four inches.
The week's rainfall varied from
"trace'7 to half an inch in Chester
field, Lancaster, York, Florence,
Fairfield, Kershaw, Richland, Spar
tanburg, Greenville, Union, Lanrene,
Abbeville, Anderson, Newberry and
Lexington ; in Pickens, Aiken,
Orangeburg, Sumter, Clarendon, ?
Edgefield, Marlboro, Darlington and
Hampton the fall varied between
half an inch and two inches; in
Williamsburg, Charleston, Horry, !
Barnwell, Berkeley, Colleton, Beau- !
fort the rainfall amounted generally j
to from two to four inches. Thus it |
is seen that the droughty conditions I
have been intensifi'jld in the western
and northern counties, while the
southeastern portion of the State has !
an excess of moisture. The greateet
rainfall reported was 4.50 inches at i
Beaufort; least "trace" at Chester
field. The average of 4:1 rainfall
reports was 1.04 inches and the nor-1
mal for the same period is approxi
mately 1.68.
The sunshine varied between 39
and 100 per cent, of the possible,
with an average of about 62, which
is nearl3' normal.
There were local high winds in j
Elizabeth Township, Orangeburg,
?bat materially damaged corn and !
cotton in that vicinity.
The condition of cotton, while not !
greatly changed, is nevertheless less I
satisfactory than heretofore, there
being many complaints of shedding
both leaves and "shapes," and the :
plant has eeemingly stopped growing j
even where the weather was most
favorable.

EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE
MEETING.
A Greater Farce Than the Primary.
Opera Bouflfe Parliamentary Law.
The County Democratic Ex?cut?e Com
mittee met last Saturday, or at least a few
roemhere of the committee did. There were
eighteen members or substitutes present when
Chairman Keels called the committee to
order and two others nbstitute came in later.
The chairman announced that the first busi
ness was tbe counting and tabulation of the
7otes cast in the primary on Tuesday. This
task was quickly completed and the result
announced as follows :
Bishopville, - - 14
Pleasant Grove, - 17
Farmers, - - -
Total 48
All of these votes were cast for the Keels
ticket.
As soon a.a the tellers announced the resnlt
the chairman proceeded to declare that the
ticket had been nominated, and was therefore
t.ie ticket of the Democratic party of Surater
County. A contest of this ruling was made, j
but no action was taken.
Maj. Marion Moise offered the following j
resolution : j
Whereas there has been a general sentiment,
in this county in opposition to a factional
contest for delegates to the Constitutional
Convention, which sentiment has found ex-j
pression in the nomination of a joint ticket !
of Reformers and Conservatives by separate
bodies representing each faction, which nomi
nation occurred so laie as to render it im
practicable to give notice to the people, hold
any campaign meetings to discuss the issues i
of the day, and go into a primary electiou, ;
and
Whereas, notwithstanding this expressed
sentiment, orimarv was ordered to be held ;
without bearinfr the candidates, at which
primary only 3 boxes out of 41 boxes in the
county were opened, and only 48 votes were
polled out of nearly 3,000 white Democratic .
votes in said county, and
Wherefts,the followine irregularities occurred ;
which rendered said primary obnoxious to !
the rules of the Democratic party and illegal
in many respects, to wit :
1. Failure to publish the names of the;
managers of election for the various boxes ;
two weeks prior to such election.
2. Failure to provide the managers with
ballot ooxes.
3. Failure to prepare and send to all pre- i
cincts printed tic'.ets for tbe use of voters.
4. Failure to convene the Executive Com- j
mittee on the Thursday next succeeding the
election to tabulate the retnrns.
5. Failure of the managers of election to
take tbe oath reqaired by law and file the
same in the office of the Clerk of Court.
6. Failure to appoint managers nominated
by certain clubs, and appointing others, con
trary to the roles, who were not so nomi- \
nated?
"Be it therefore resolved : That this com
mittee cannot declare tbe persous voted for in
said primary to be the regular and legal |
nominees of the whole Democratic party, but
does recognize them as Democrats and as
nominees of the said irregular primary, with
full right to go before the general election on !
August 20th, to be voted for by such of tbe j
Democrats of ?his county as may desire to
do so."
Capt. Keels called Mr. W. Dinkins to the |
chair and offered the following substitute : |
Whereas, tbe executive committee of this S
county, Sumter, ordered a primary election 1
for the nomination of delegates to the Con- j
stitutional Convention, and whereas certain ?
persons filed their pledges and have been |
nominated delegates to the Constitutional
Convention in tbe primary, and whereas tbe
Conservatives, in Convention assembled on
July 26th renewed their allegiance to tbe
Democratic party, be it
Resolved, That this, tbe executive committee j
of the Democratic party of Sumter County. !
appoint?t least four campaign meetings in
tbe county, appoint and invite speakers to |
advocate and work for the election of the
ticket nominated in the primary.
This substitute was laid on the table on
motion.
Capt. Keels resumed the chair, and Maj. '
Moise's resolution was voted on. A division
was demanded by Mr. L. D. Jennings and
the roll was called. Thirteeo voted for the i
resolution, none against it. Chairman
Keels ruled that a quorum had not voted,
and the resolution had not passed. He held
to this ruling in spite of protests.
A motion to adjourn was made and the !
vote stood 12 to 4 against adjourning. ?
Aeain Chairman Keels held that no I
ouorum had voted. Evervbodv sj.t around '
and nothing could be done save talk, and
there was a good deal of this done.
Finally Chairman Keels a'gresd to with- ,
draw his declaration that the men voted for !
at three boxes on Tuesday last were the nom- '
inres of tbe party, aod, to simply announce :
the re?nltof the election. He did this, an
the gathering broke up informally, as it
could not pven adjourn by a vote, according '
to C'l^.irnjan Keels' ruling.
There have been political farces more \h-\v.
once wiihin the past few weeks, but the Ex
ecutive Committee meeting to-day was ine \
most absurd affair ever seen in Sumter
county.

Mr. Editor:
In your issue of. the !7th July, I see two
communications from "Taxpayer" and J. B.
Raffeld, in which charges of extravagance
and useless expenditure of county funds wa3
made. The parties charged have failed to
deoy or expluin this matter. If tbere are no
grounds for these charges it seems to me that
Messrs. Philips aod Spann should answer, as
they have been placed in an awkward posi
tion by these parties. Their silence makes it
appear to those who know nothing of this
matter that the charges are weli founded, and
that they should explain, as they are servants
of the people and should give an account of
their stewardship. If the charges are un
true and cannot be sustained, then those mak
ing the chaiges should be treated with tbe
contempt that they deserve. But if, on tbe
other hand, said charges can be sustained, it
would be well for the County Board to in
vestigate these charges and try and prevent
a repetition of such extravagant and fraudu
lent expenditure of county funds, and to
keep this matter out of the courts. If thi3
matter was reported to the Grand Jury at
tbe last term of court, it is to be presumed
that with more light it will be reported at
the next term of court, and Sumter county
will be placed in the unpleasant situation
that Aiken county was some time back.
I hope that those m authority will look
into this matter and satisfy themselves and
the public as to the truth or falsity of ibe
charges prefered. Fairplay.

Privatker Township, S. C, Aug. 5. 1895.
Recently your correspondent paid a visit
to one of the oldest ladies in the county, if
not in tbe State?Mrs. Winnifred Rivers of
this township. She was bom May 19, 1804,
io Sept. 1823 she married Mr. E. W. P.
Rivers, who was raised on James Tsland and
who has now been dead maoy years. Mrs.
Rivers has been the mother of eight children,
two of whom, Mr. Eugene Rivers and Mrs.
Daniel Holliday, live in the township. Six
or her children were sons, one died before tbe
: war, and the rest were in the Confederate
army, one died during tbe war.
' Mrs. Rivers lives seven or eight miles from
! where she was born. She can still knit some
: and can see without glasses. Her mind is
! clear, her hearing tolerably good acd one
would never suppose from her movements
I and appearance that she only lacked nine
years of heiog a hundred. She could easily
pass for about 75 years of age. It is cot
often that we see people as old as she is, and
! it is wonderful bow well preserved she is.
A most delightful pic nie was given at the
Pocotaiigo crossing, last Wednesday in honor
of Misses May Cattino and Alice Mellichamp.
The time was pleasantly passed in games,
conversation and strolling around. The
girls looked sweet, but that was nothing
uousual, for Privateer's girls always iook
J sweet on such occasions.

Mr. Editor: A while back you published
an old paper or rare historical value, found
among the family archives of Mr. J. Single
ton Moore, and relating to the early history
of the Stateburg Episcopal Church. In that
connection the following about th? High
Hills Baptist Church, of the same section of
country, will no; be uointeresting.
From a rare .historical work, "A Kis'ory of
the Charleston Association of Baptist Church
es in the Stare or South Carolina," which
was complied by Wool Furraan, A. M., p ub
lished in 1811. we learn that theHigb Hills
