The Congressional Hace. From what has been learnt ?ibiu the last few days it itppears ihat U.eie i< more or less misunderstanding concerning tb- sutus of the race between Dr. J Wm. Stokes and Hon. Altamont Moses for the nomination for Congress. The confusion has arisen on ac? count of the fact that both the unexpired term and the new term are to be filled. Si?ce the withdrawal of Mr. Moses as a candidate for the unexpired term there is no contest for that, and Dr. Stokes has been declared ?he candidate of the Democratic party bj virtue of bis nomination two years ago, and he will be voted for at the general election for thia position. At the primary election Dr. Stokes and Mr. Moses will be voted for to decide which shall be the candidate for the full term. Remember that the result of the pri? mary does not effect Dr Stokes' candidacy for the unexpired term, and that a vote for bim io the primary means that you prefer him to Mr. Moses as a representative of the Seventh District in the next Congress. Dr. Stokes is already the legal candidate for the unexpired term, the primary decides who shall be the candidate for the new term. WIRE TIED BAJL.ES. Sumter County Farmers are Fighting the Trust. The first bales of cotton tied with wire were brought to this market yesterday morning by Mr. R. C. Tisdale of Privateer. He brought two bales weighing 552 and 53S pounds respectively, which were eold to Levi [ Bros. at 6 $5. The bales are as firmly baled and are as neat in appearance as any that were ever bound with steel ties. The wire used is the ordinary galvanized wire about the size of telegraph wire. The wire was purchased from R. W. Durant k Son, ff bo fcaye sufficient wjr? to supply any de? mand that may arise. Mr. Tisdale is enlisted for the war against the tie trost and will use no steel ties this Season. In this determination be will have many associates, and it is safe to say that the ?tie trust will not make much money out of Sumter county farmers this season. REVISIOIJ COMMITTEE. Enroll at Once if Tou Wish to Vote. The following gentlemen have been ap? pointed a committee to assist Secretary J. M. Knight in revising the roll of Sumter Demo? cratic Club and completing the enrollment prior, to the primary election : W. H. Com? mander, M. C. Kavanaugb, Tbos. 6. McLeod, I.C.Strauss, T. B. Kennedy, H. C. Moses. L. S. Carson, S. Y. De?gar, R. K. Wilder,' W. S. Graham, Herbert A. Moses and A. D Moses. They will report promptly to Mr. Knight, as there is a great deal of work to be done. The Cotton Crop in Sumter County. The cotton crop in Sumter County has been damaged 25 to 35 per cent, by the bot dry weather of the last two weeks. This as? sertion is made by a half dozen or more of the best informed and observant farmers who live in as many sections of the county. Three weeks ago the outlook for a large crop was the brightest for several yeare, bot the excessive heat has literally burned the cot? ton up and the matured bolls are opening very rapidly. It is scarcely possible for the crop to revive and take on sufficient fruit to make good the loss caused by the heat, and instead of a very large cotton crop, Sumter County will make but a small crop, compara? tively. Fortunately the corn crop is unusu? ally large-and the yield per acre very fine, ?ad otter crops are also good. A Summer Sociable. Tie first summer sociable given by the younger set, was held last evening at the residence of Maj. W. F. B. Haynswortb. Tbe couples began to arrive about 8 30 o'clock and soon the spacious piazza was filled with pretty faces and white ducks Laughter that told of enjoyment resounded on all sides, and the evening passed as a "dream that is told."

Allen, engineer on the Atlantic Coastline, died in Charleston Friday morning at 2 o'clock. Mr. Allen has run through Sumter for a number of years, and his many friends regret to learn of his death. His re? mains were taken to Columbia for inter- j ment. The cotton platforms and sheds and side tracks have been put in shape tor handling the fall and winter rush of freight. The receipts of freights during the past few days have been quite heavy. The merchants of this city are receiving goods for their fall and winter stock in large quantities for this season of the year. The passenger business for the mountain resorts and the North is still good. Everybody wants to know something about the annual mountain excursion whether they intend going themselves or not. Ticket Agent Brand is always ready to answer all cuesticn8 and give all the information possi? ble. Capt. H. A. Wells has been running on the j Charleston and Columbia train in place of Capt. Webb, who is now engaged io special work ip the interest of the annual excursion. One ot the late improvements, not hereto fore mentioned, is a new cover on the water ! tank. According to a celebrated anatomist there are upwards of 5,000,000 little glands in the human stomach. These glands pour out the digestive juices which dissolve or digest the food. Indigestion is want of juice, weakness of glands, need of help to restore the health of these organs. The best and most natural help is that given by Shaker Digestive Cor? dial. Natural, because it supplies the mate? rials needed by the glands to prepare the digestive juices. Because it strengthens and invigorates the glands and the stomach, until they are able to do their work alone. Shaker Digestive Cordial cares iedigestion certainly and permanently. It doe9 so by natural means, and therein lies tbe secret of its won? derful and unvaried success. At druggist, price 10 cents to 31.00 per bottle. PROTESTS AGAINST THE RULING. The State Executive Committee has no Right to Prescribe Such Regulations, Says Mr. DuPre. Editor Item : The ruling of the State Democratic Executive Committee that all bal? lots for the House of Representatives must contaiu the full number of names that the county is entitle?! to in which the ballot is cast, or it will Bot be counted, is dictation pure and simple, and should be completely ignored by each county. No doubt the- com- 1 mittee thought that in each county there would be a super abundance of candidates and the voter could pick out the requisite j number and thereby simplify matters, but be this as it may, the action of the committee is I an encroachment upon the liberties and j rights of the people,^ and let the result be j what it may, no one should be governed in ? what it says m this matter. Toe committee j bas as much right to tell the voter not to ? vole, as tell him how to vote. I ara aware that it is necessary to prescribe certain rules and regulations to govern primary elections, but there can be no law enacted that can dic? tate to the voter how he shall vote. That is his own constitutional right, and as such, should ever be sacred. At the last meeting of the County Democratic Executive Commit? tee the writer attempted to have tbis rule ig? nored, as usurping the right3 of the people, but while all agreed who expressed them? selves, that he waa right, still it was thought best to follow the rule of the committee, how? ever unjust it may be, for fear of after trouble. Under no circumstances can I con? cede to this view. To do so would be to surreoder my liberty, and that I ara not pre? pared io do as jet * My advice to the voter, is to vote from one to five names for repre? sentatives just as he sees proper Vote them from the candidates before the people. The managers will count the ballot and there it ends. There ?9 neither justice, reason nor ! common sense in any such a ruling. To sub? mit to it would be surrender the individual right by the voter, as to how be should vote, and place that right in a delegated authority. The supreme court would knock such a mon? strous proposition all to pieces if it had the chance to do so, as clearly invading the right of individual liberty. The' great object of primary elections is to give to each voter the right to choose the mao, or men, he wants for office. This has been extended now from the highest office holder to the lowest, and is an improvement over the old plan when only a part of the candidates were required to go before the people. This is fair and just to all and no one can complain of ring rule now If the vot r does not avail himself of the op? portunity to see, and learn from the different j candidates their views, so that he can intelli? gently vote for them, this is bis fault, but bis j individual rights should be let alone, to be exercised or not, e3 he sees proper.

THE FIRST NEW COTTON. Three Bales Sold Friday. The first bales of new cotton were brought to this market to-day and sold for seven cents per pound. There were three bales brought in and the distinction of bringing the fiist new cotton to market is divided between Mr. George M. Sanders, of Hagood, who brought two bales, and Mr W. G. Wells, of Priva? teer, who brought one bale. The lot was bought by Levi Bros., who also bought the first bale last year. Cotton is opening very rapidly and is being picked out as expeditiously as possible, and it is expected that there will be much more cottou sold in this market before September 1st than ha9 been customary in former years. The price of spots, as well a33sq Siinint advanced rapidly within the past two week3, and the tendency appears to be still upward as the reports of damage to the crop by the hot weather continue to be received and con? firmed. . Nothwithstanding, however, the upward tendency of prices, it is the general opinion of well informed observers of the cotton market that it will be wise for cotton planters to gather their cotton as rapidly as it opens and sell at once. They will gain more by selling before the cotton has dried out and lo3t in weight than ihey would by waiting for the market to rise. Besides there ?3 no certainty that the price will continue to ad? vance, and there ?3 a decided risk in holding I cotton this season, for there is a possibility, if not a probability, of a sharp decline, when the crop begins to be thrown on the market with a rush. Route Agent and Mail Carrier, j --- Editor W.tthman and Southron: In jour | lust ?H-k's issue h. corespondent of your j pnper writrog fi ora Keniben, says : "The j mail accommodations are still very poor at j this place. The people of th is community j certainly ure greatly inconvenienced by the carelessness of the route agent and it doe3 j seem to us that tbe worthless fellow should be removed," &c. In justice to the mail I carrier, I do not know what carelessness refers j to, but be is punctual to arrive and depart o^ j schedule time at th?3 office and this is all the j government and the people cnn expect. I j think when a man is assailed in this way his j carelessness should be specified, and then ! over the name of tbe writer Ths public 1 would infer from your correspondent that the mail carrier was remiss in his contract to the government post office J. E. DnPre, P. M. Pisgah, S. C., August 8, 1896. [Mr. DuPre surely should be sufficiently well informed on postal matters to make the distinction between a route agent and a star route mail carrier. For his information it will be stated that a route agent is a railway postal clerk, and we presume our correspond? ent had reference to the route agent on the Camden Branch, as we have had numerous complaints against him before. Mr. DuPre's lack of information will excuse his rather severe and uncalled for criticisms of our Rembert correspondent.-ED ] Hood'3 Pills are the best family cathartic and liver medicine.

A fine congregation was out. He wi!l preach at Bethel the forenoons of the secoud and fourth Sundays oT each month. According to appointment the Amusement Club met at Mrs. Henrietta Lynam's last Fri- i day night. The meeting was a social on?, but not much of the programme was carried oat. The next meeting of the club will be j held at Mr. Matt Ramsey's oo Friday night, j Aug. 21. Misses Fannie Seabrook of Edisto, Alice j Mellicbamp, of Columbia, and Beulah j Lynam, of Sumter, are visiting in the town- ? ship. In a recent copy of tbe Bapti?t Courier i there appeared a brief and interesting article about church work, from the yoothful pen of j I Miss Mary Ellen Lampley, of Union. She used tc ;;e a Privateer girl and her father, ; the late Rev. B. C. Lampley, was pastor of j Bethel. Mr. Luther Price, late of this township, iss now engaged in business in Greenville. Friday is Privateer "campaign day." McD. F. ' HAGOOD AND VICINITY. Mr. McDonald Furman Tells of This Pleasant Section of Sum? ter County. Mr. Editor : Doubtless all of your readers hare familiar with ths name of Hagood, but j probably not many outside of those who live in that section, know much about the place. It was our good fortune to recently have paid j a pleasant visit there and we will now try to ! give your readers some account of the place j and surrounding country. Hagood is in RaftingcCreek township, on the Camden Branch R. R. It used to be call? ed Sanders's depot. It is not more than a j scattered hamlet at present, with one store, four stores were burnt last winter. Mr. T. 0. Sanders, jr., i3 having a large store built, which, when completed, will be a credit to a town. The depot agent is Mr. W. F. Ballard and the assistant agent ?3 Mr. J. R. Atkin? son. The Post Master is Mr. S. J. Gaillard. The lands around Hagood are fine for farm? ing purposes. We have never seen larger ; fields of cotton than those around the sta I tion. We were informed that land conld net j be bought for less than $20.00 an acre, j There are no churches at the station, but I there are two white and two colored churches ! in the surrounding country. The white j churches are Church of the Ascension, Epis ; copal, and Bstuesda, Methodist. The Rev. ' William Barnwell, of Stateburg, is rector of j the first mentioned, and the Rev. W. J. ! Dowell is pastor of the second. The colored j churches are Baptist and Methodist and the j pastors are the Rev3. Diggs and McIntosh. ; We went to Hagood on July 3) and left ! next day. Shortly after our arrival, we j were kindly taken in charge by our old ' schoolmate, Mr. Charley Sanders, where we i dined. He is the largest cotton planter in this section and has 250 acres planted. Dur? ing the remainder of our visit we were the j guest at the pleasant home of Mr. Elliott j Ellerbe. Through the kindness of Messrs. Sanders and Ellerbe, we were given some rides in the country surrounding Hagood, during which we passed by the home3 o.' Representative A. K. Sanders, Messrs T. O. Sanders, Sr., and Jr., and also the Ellerbe homestead ; this latter i3 a large roomy looking building, it is right by the Ellerbe millpond. Across this pond are some as picturesque looking bills as we have ever seen. Another bouse we passtd was the home of Nelson Douglass, a worthy, full blooded ne? gro, who is a Democrat. The land on which he lives was given the family by one of the Sanderses. During one of our rides we called at Mrs. E. It. Alston's, whose house ?9 a large old family homestead, the main body of which was built about a century ago and after? wards renovated. It ?3 built on land which bas descended to Mrs. Alston from William Sanders, to whom it was granted by King George III This house is of much local : historical interest, for it was thc scene, on April 19, I860, of a skirmish between Potter with 0,000 negro contrabands and Geo. Young. Mrs. Alston gave us quite au inter? esting account of this skirmish. From the upper nifizza of this house :!.?re can be ob * i tained a pretty view of thc High Hills cf i Sr ee, which are so j'tstly famous for ?.teal associations und picture jveoerv. There Hie ether ihings we could writ about this section ami ' hospitable pet among whom our stay was a pleasant but as we may pay another visit to Ha^ in a few months, we will close for the j ent.

Summarizing the above, and the portions of the reports not quoted, it appears that cotton has declined very fast, growth practically stopped, bolls opening prematurely, shedding leaves, forms and half grown bolls, j and that a plenty of rain would not help cotton to recover and reach its previous excellent condition except in a few places. Picking is as yet not active but will soon become so. Tobacco* cured nicely during the week but the quality of the leaves were reduced by the heat. The crop is only a fair one. Peas are suffering from the heat and dryness. Cane of various kinds is doing well, but in places is ripening pre? maturely. Rice continues in excellent condi? tion Beginning to ripen, and har? vesting begun. First barrel of "Ran? goon" rice harvested on July 30, near Georgetown. Forage crop is a large one and is being secured in excellent conditon. Rutabagas and turnips sown large? ly but do not germinate well on ac? count of the dry soil. The past week was the most try? ing oue for crops in general during the present season. J. W. BAUER, Section Director. State of South Carolina. COUNT? OF SUMTER. By T. V Walsh, Esq., Probate Judge.
