PRIVATEER PERSONALS.
PRIVATEER TOWNSHIP, S. C., May 1!, '96.
Yesterday foreooou Dr. Wyman.preached a
striking sermon at Bethel Church on Love.
Without it, he said, we could have no gov?
ernment and pandemonium would reign.
We enjoy blessings because there is some love
in the world-it is a good investment to in?
crease that love. The Doctor spoke of
Christ's love and said we must foiiow Him in
spirit aod not in forms. Jesus followed the
customs of the times and if we follow Him
we must follow the customs of our times.
We must love every human being with the
love of pity and benevolence.
The study of words ?3 as interesting to the
etymologist as was the study of species to
Charles Darwin. Among the South Carolina
families of Welch descent (some of which
family bas lived in Privateer township) is
one whose name affords an interesting sub?
ject for etymological study-ID the Welch
language it was Llhuyd. The reader is
doubtless puzzled bow to pronounce such an
odd looking name, but anglicized, it is sim-,
pie in spelling and easily pronounced-it is
Lide. Some account of this family w:ll be
found ia that invaluable work, "History of
the Old Cheraws," by Bishop Alexander
Gregg.
Among Privateer's citizens is one who had
the honor of shaking bands with Jefferson
Davis, the distinguished soldier and states?
man who was President of the Southern
Confederacy. Besides this citizen we know
of ons other maa ia Sumter County who had
the honor of shaking hands with President
Davis-that is Sheriff Marion Sanders.
Messrs. Tx. C. Perrin and" H. J. Wright,
representing' the Equitable Life Insurance
Company of New York, have been canvassing
our community. They are both pleasant
getlemen.
Mr. Matt Ramsey, who is the closest ob?
server with whom we are acquainted, esti?
mates that the oats which be bas seen will
yield only a tenth of a cnop.
The Rev. J. W. Daniel is anoounced to
preach at the Tindal school bouse next Sun?
day afternoon.
Mr. Whilden Nettles, who has been clerk?
ing at Durant's hardware store io Sumter, is
at borne.
Master Douglas Jenkins, son of Mr. Bur?
gess Jenkins, is attending the Sumter Graded
School, and has been doing so for several
weeks.
Probably one of the youngest wives io this
county is Mrs. Nancy Turner, wife of Mr.
Miles Tomer, of this township. She will be
seventeen next Noyemoer aod was married
the September before she was thirteen.
One of Privateer's colored men who was
born in 1859 and has lived ia the township
for about 29 years, informs ns that he has
never spent a nickle for whiskey and be re?
fuses to drink it when offered him. We have
Dever beard of bis drinking. McD. F.

Mr. Shirley Hughson's Work on
the Carolina Pirates Receiving
Pleasant Recognition.
ifrf Editor : In the "Annual Report of
the American Historical Association for the
year 1894" is an admirable "Bibliography of
the colonial history of South Carolina,"
covering over 20 pages and compiled by Mr.
Edson L. Whitney. Among the works men?
tioned is "The Carolina Pirates and Colonial
Commerce-1670-1740," which, as our read?
ers will remember, :s written by Mr. Shirley
Hughson. formerly of Sumter and so well
known to many of your readers. We allude
to this bibliography here to show that Mr.
Hnghson's valuable historical work is receiv?
ing prominent and deserved recognition.
McDONALn FURMAN.
Ramsey, May ll, 1896.
Silver Drips from Pisgah.
Mr. Editor : Io your issue of this week,
you speak of the State being strongly in
favor of free,silver, that Tillman would pro?
bably control it, name the National dele?
gates, probably bolt them, as a result of one
man power, &c. Senator Tillman is a man
of wonderful influence in this State, simply
becanse be is abreast of the times. This
question of free silver will not down until
our finances are restored to that healthy con?
dition which will be fair aod just to all. It
is an admitted fact that the poor get poorer,
and the rich get richer under our present
financial condition. This upheaval of the
people from Maine to Texas, shows that some?
thing is wrong, and no man like Tillman, or
any one else, is the cause of it. It is finan?
cial revolution, pore and simple, just like
this country revolted against the British
yoke when its measures were unjust and op?
pressive Since free silver will control in all
probability she National Convention, the
gold bugs are trying to work up a scare that
in the event that free silver will be engrafted
ir? the ?eclwation of principles, it will offend
toe great States of Pennsylvania, New York
and others. Mr. Editor, what has the great
State of Pennsylvania ever done for the dem?
ocratic party ? Has she ever cast a single
electoral vote for the democratic candidate ?
No. Ohio cast one, only one, 1892, and yet
we must stand aghast at ber displeasure,
against the wishe3 of such States as Missouri
and Texa3. Are not the Southern and West?
ern people just as intelligent, patriotic, and
have as many rights as the people of the
North, yet the South which furnishes the
bulk of the electoral votes, must give way to
those Sta tes that can do nothing, and allow
them to shape the policy of the party. Bah !
If you are not tired of such a state of affairs,
then your correspondent acknowledges that
he is. A few more Ben Tillmans to go
through the United States and arouse the
people up to a sense of their political rights,
will have a happy effect io shaping the future
of this country. The masses are asleep to
their rights, hence such pernicious interfer?
ence as England shaping tue financial policy
of our country would never have takeu
place, in the interest of a few, and against
the people. Throw on the light until tbe in?
terests of the people are looked after. Then
we will nave a happy and prosperous ccun
try. * J- S. D.

MEMORIAL EXERCISES
j In view cf the fad that thc tenth of May J
I comes ib?9 y frat 01 Sund?v, rhs am. nal roe- ;
I rnoriai services were held Friday, the 8th. !
At five o'clock the wagons carrying the j
1 flower girls left the armory hall for the cern- I
etery. About fifty little girls each bearing '
beautiful bouquets of full-blown and bud- !
ding blossoms approached the graves of our ;
departed heroes and with reverent hands ?aid
down their floral tributes of pride and IOVP.
Their return from the cemetery wa3 the
signal to assemble in theUnera House to hear
the memorial address of Gen. fi. W. Moise.'
Gen. Moise deli^red his oration in a manner ;
which surpassed even himself. He spoke ia |
his usual forcible and impressive manner : he j
had a message to deliver aod. he delivered it
so well that its effect will be a9 lasting as
'twas impressive. His theme was the truth
of the South's history. His presentation was
so clear, his manner so earnest, his message
so true that his burning words engraved
themselves upon the tablets of bis listeners'
hearts and raiods in ineffaceable characters.
The General's peroration was an original
poetic production ; and we feel that we shall
do a kindness to our readers by giving it in
full
"Near the plaio of Marathon, at the pass
of Thermopylae, there stands a mooomenr of
stone whereon is inscribed these words:
{Oh stranger! tell it to the Lnceodemo
nians
That we lie here in obedience to her precepts.'
Beneath that Monolith lie the bodies of
those three hundred Spartans who defended
the pass of Thermopy'ae against tne Persian
hosts, until betrayed by a peasant who
pointed out to the Persians a way of reaching
the rear of that gallant band, by a circuitous
path over the mountain.
So may we write upon the monuments we
erect to the memory of our fallen h?roe?,
these words;
Here lie the mortal remains
Of men whom'history disdains
To speak of DOW as Dead.
Their simple'fives this truth proclaim,
That Spartan worth, is still the same
Wheo forth to duty led.
We build our monuments of Love,
We point their shafts to God aoove.
IQ trust and faith serene,
That time will vindicate their cause,
And teach mankind to stop and pause
Where humble worth has been.
Thesword is sheathed, the gun is gone,
The fl*g is furled, the battle done,
The dfuna is muffled now,
But wherever Southern hearts are true 1
Thi3 day will all their pride renew.
They bear as bold a brow
As when their cheers rung o'er the field,
Their banners waving o'er the shield,
j On which was written then,
The motto of the Spartan band,
We strike st Liberty's command,
And fall like men,
And we, The Survivors cry out, {tAmen."
I
Death is but what the haughty brave,
The weak must bear,
The wretch must crave,
Then let iife go to him who gave.
We have not paled to peril's brow,
When high and happy need we now.

WEDGEFIELD LETTER.
WEDGEFIELD, May 12.-This terrific spell
of weather has discouraged our farmers very
much. Where cotton is up to a stand it is
doing well, but so much has not come out of
the ground jet. although the nat grass has.
Coro is very small and was twisted up to-day
at eleven o'clock ; is said to be dying in
places. Gardens, as far as we have seeD, are
ruined. The oat crop has suffered very
much. Where they were plahted early and
cn good land, they have made, perhaps, half
a crop, and are being gathered. Late plant?
ing io places where land is good, will not
make the seed that was planted.
Our artesian well is progressing slowly but
sorely.
The Great Lee Articles.

Monthly have brought out a most excellent
portrait in colors of General Robert E. Lee,
which serves as a frontispiece to the May
number of that magazine. The portrait is
pronounced by the friends of General Lee to
be the best likeness ever published. It is
issued ?D connection with the great Lee series

such widspread attention. This series began
I in the February number with an article, by
Mrs. Roger A. Pryor, on General Lee's an
I cestors, and will oe continued for some
moRths yet Among the distinguished peo?

Coroner's Inquest Held.
Wiley Carolina, colored, about 18 years
old, was killed at Manville, on Thursdav i
night, May 6tb, by the accidental discharge j
a poifstol, in the hands of Annie Rerabert. i
at the house Mila Hannible, Annie's brother
in-law, where Wiley was paying an evening ;
call. An inquest was held by Coroner Com- ?
mander, and the jury rendered a verdict that j
the death was by accident. While it is not ;
doubted that the verdict is a correct one so
far as related to the killing, it is thought that I
j there was some crooked testimony as to the j
j exact weapon with which the killing was
I done-the weapon exhibited showing no evi- ?
dence of having been fired. The inference is i
that had the proper pistol been produced,
someone would have had to account for a j
stolen pistol, that has been wanted there for 1
some time recentlv.

The commission for the Knitting and Cord?
age Co has been signed by the board of cor?
porators, and forwarded to the secretary of

Tbe.artesian well on the farm of Mr. R. P.
Monaghan about two miles from town, on
the Central railroad,is becomiug a very popu?
lar place with the bicycle folks. Mr. Mona?
ghan has very considerately fixed the numer?
ous bridges along the road, so they can be
crossed without dismounting your wheel.
The well is one of the finest in tbe county, the
flow being thirty-two gallonsper minute. The
water is mineral, having iron and sulphur
in it.
Robbers entered tbe pantry of Mrs. J. E.
Suares on Thursday afternoon, and stole a
large cake and other eatables there?
from. The robbers bad a big bundle cf sil?

them,, but must have been frightened off.
They carried the pantry key with them.
There is a movement on foot to organize a
club in this city which bas met wich decided
encouragement from all who have been ap?
proached on fhe subject. A club well man?
aged and with well appointed rooms, would
be a decided acquisition to the city, and the
need of such an organization bas long been
felt by the business and professional men of
this place. It will furnish a convenient and
pleasant place for the entertainment of vis?
itors to the city who will appreciate a place
where they can spend their leisure time, and
meet their friends and acquaintances.
Mr. D. P. Davis, a prominent liveryman
and merchant of Goshen, Va., has this to say
on thesufy'ectof rheumatism: "I take pleas?
ure in recommending Chamberlain's Pain
Balm for rheumatism, as I know from per?
sonal experience that it will do all that is
claimed for it. A year ago thi3 spring my
brother was laid up in bed with inflammatory
rhejroat?3m and suffered intensely. The first
application of Chamberlain's Palm Balm
eased the pain and the use of one bottle com?
pletely cured him. For sale by Dr. A. J.

A Good Water.
The Board of Health of this city sent on a
demijohn of the water from "Mr. W. F. B.
Hayosworth's flowing Artesian well to the
State Chemist at Clemson College, for analy?
sis, asking a report particularly as to the
salubriousness and constituents of the water,
as it might depend very much on the reply
whether other Artesian wells would be con?
tracted for here. Tbe following very favor?
able reply ha3 been received :

ANALYSIS.
Total solids dried at 100? C. C.108 grains
per rj. S. Gallon.
Chlorine 0.181 grains per TJ. S. Gallon.
Actual Ammonia .03 parts per million.
Albuminoid Ammonia .02 parts per mil?
lion.
Chief Constituents-Carbonates \>f Soda,
Lime and Magnesia, with some Carbonates of
Potash and traces of Lythia. There is only
a small quantity of Chloride of Sodium, and
but traces of Sulphates From your descrip?
tion of the freshly drawn water and the
change in appearance on standing a short
time, the water contains a small quantity of
Carbonate of Iron, which undergoes altera?
tion with separation of the Oxide of Iron.
While there was no Iron in solution when
the water reached this Laboratory lhere was
a small deposit of the Oxide io the demijohn.
The water is a good one, free from objec?
tionable organic matter, and very much like
the sample analyzed for you January 27tb ;
if any thing a little purer.

The Georgia Railroad has issued a colored
poster advertising the reduced rates to Rich? |
mond on account of the Confederate Veteran |
Re-unio^ on June 30th and July 1st and 2d, j
that is a gem of its kind. It is printed in |
red, blue and black, and is ornamented with |
two Confederate battle Sag3 and Confederate i
soldiers typifying 1861 and 1865. The pos- j
ter was designed by Mr. Joe W. White, Trav- j

LONDON, May ll.-The St. James

submission of Spain to the demands of;
the United States in regard to Cuba i
and that the manufacturing classes of ;
Spain are resolved to keep Cuba a close j
brought. Premier Canovas del Castillo,
The Gazette adds, must choose be
rween a rupture between Spain and the
United States or revolution at home.
The Globe, in an article on the Cuban ;
situation, says that the recent preten- j
tious arrogaoce of the Washington i
statesmen has been due to a determina- j
tion to make American commerce para- j
mount in the western hemisphere. \
European sympathy. The Globe adds, is j
wholly with Spain.
The Pall Mail Gazette says : The j
prisoners captured on board the fili?
busteriog schooner Competitor will not
be shot. A contest between light and
heavy weights, especially when the for-1
mer is not fit and the latter is spoiling j
fjr a fight, can have only one result. j
LOADED AT SEA.
CAPE MAY, N. J., May H.-From j
an incident which occurred at sea off:
here to-day, it may be that the steam?
ship Laurada took no munitions of war i
aboard near New York, but tbiit she re?
ceived ber cargo outside the three-mile
limit this afternoon. A large steamer
was noticed by people on shore to-day
laying to some miles out and blowing
steam. Closer io shore was a schooner
hove to. This afternoon a tug came
down the coast from the north and
another steamed out of Delaware bay.
Tte tugs took the schooner iu tow and
steamed out to where the steamship was
The tugs and the schooner were along- j
side the steamer for some time, and j
wha? was unmistakably a transfer of car?
go from the sailing vessel to the steam?
ship was made. After the transfer had
been made the tugs steamed away and
the steamship soon disappeared below
the horizon, going in a southeasterly
direction.
IRRITATING INTERFERENCE.
MADRID, May ll.-Prime Minister j
Canovas del Castillo had a lengthy con- j
ferencc to-day with the Hon. Hannis :
Taylor, the American minister, on the
subject of the Competitor filibusters, j
The result of the conferonce is not |
known.
It is reported that Captain General \
Weyler has cabled that it will be j
impossible for him to conduct the cam- !
paign in Cuba in the manner the con- ;
ditioDS require if the Spanish officials i
are to be hampered at every turn by
the irritating interference cf the !
Washington government. It is also '
stated that the United States have again j
urged the payment of indemnities to i
the Americans whose cane fields and j
other property have been burned by j
tho insurgents.
The Cotton Acreage.
WASHINGTON*, May li.-The cotton
report to the department of agricul?
ture for May relates to the progress
of planting, aud the proposed or con?
templated average. The proportion
of the contemplated area already
planted on the first of May was 87.9
per cent, which approximates very
closely the breadth usually planted
at that date,which is estimated at SS.2
per cent. The estimates for the sev?
eral States are as follows :
Virginia 20 ; North Carolina 90 ;
Georgia 90 ; Florida 100 ; Alabama
93 ; Mississippi 92 ; Louisiana 95 ?
Texas 85 , Arkansas 84 ; Tennessee
73.
The reports of correspondents in
regard to contemplated acreage, in?
dicates a considerable increase over
the area planted last year. The per?
centages by states are as follows :
Virginia 107 ; North Carolina 117 ;
South Carolina 111; Georgia 113;
Florida 143; Alabama lil ; Missis?
sippi 110 ; Louisiana 109 ; Texas
115; Arkansas 123; Tennessee 127 ;
Indian Territory 159: Missouri 141.
The average for the country is
114 8. Planting has been earlier
than usual in most of the cotton
States, but much complaint is made
of drought in a large area in North
Carolina, South Carolina. Georgia
and Alabama, retarding the germina?
tion of the seed. In a few counties
in Texas, the Mexican weevil is re?
ported as doing considerable damage.
As a general thing, the plant is said
to be in good condition, with favora?
ble season.

BEAUTY HATH CHARMS
and all the charms which beau?
ty likes best to don are shown
in our grand display of fash?
ionable jewelry for this season.
Jewels like these would en?
hance the charms of the most
fascinating belle, and surely no
fair one would despise such
brilliant aids to her beauty.
Like personal loveliness, they
conquer admiration on sight ;
they score new victories at ev?
ery inspection. Those who
look over our stock do not
willingly stop with examina?
tion. Beauty may now be
made easily irresistible by a
few judicious purchases from
our display of up to date jew?
elry.
