Farm work is cow progressing rapidly all along the Hoe aod if we have good weather, the 20ih of this mooth will see the cotton plaoted. I notice that some has already been planted ; and at Providence I saw some coro op. The small grain crops lock as well as could be expected from such a bard winter. After readiog the penitentiary scandal, it is plain to be seen that the directors are mere to blame than Col. Neal, and be has cot the shadow of an excuse. The directors are the trusted and paid agents of the tate and they should have attended to their business and not takes things for granted. Their ooo-performance of doty bas caused all this trouble and they should be made to feel the force of public opinion. Let us hear from j those first, whom it is claimed owe the State, I thea if tbej owe it and refaeo to pay, let io on tbem. The mach talked of cow question, is not exactly as the papers say lt is. This matter has been so successfully covered up that some of the best meo io the Isgislature voted for the re-election of Col. Neal. It is currently reported that Senator Man ning, aod ex-Goremor Shepherd will enter the gubernatorial race next year. Both good aod strong men. A joint debate took place at Cleveland school house on the 29th ultimo, between the Cleveland and Pisgah debating societies, on tbe question : "Should Coba be annexed to tbeUoited States." Hon. W. I Villepigoe, Col. T. C. Murchison aod J. E. DaPre, repre senting Cleveland, spoke for the affirmative, aod Rev. J. Walter Kenny, D.J. Hatfield and J. T. Watson representing Pisgah, spoke for the negative. The debate was spirited attd hotly contested by both sides, each speaker spoke twenty-five minutes. The judges gave it to the affirmative. The ladies had the ecbool house beautifully decorated with evergreens and flowers aod lent their bewitching prese:ce for the occasion. There is a bare possibility tbat we may have a few peaches aod some apples. The soft cooiog of the dove is occasionally heard. Some people eay they have seen a few blue birds. Old people say as long as the seven stars are high at first derk we will have cold. Ooe of our pretty young ladies went op to Lucknow last week to bear Dr. Brown's lectors on "Courtship and Marriage," and comiag borne got caught in the hailstorm and like to have been blowo away, as well as pelted good by the bail stones She says she will sever forget ber awful experience. We are sory to learn that Mr. W*. J. Yoong got painfully burt last week by his mules running away with the wagoo and throwing him oot. Pisgah, April 3. Sons of Veterans Notice is hereby given to the members of Camp James D. Biaodicg, No. 92, Sons of Coofederate Veterans, that a meeting of the camp will beheld io the ball of the Young Men's Chrietian Associ t ian on Main Street, oext Friday evening, April 7?b, at 8 o'clock for the purpose of electing delegates to the annual renoioc of Sons of Coofederate Vet erans to be held io Charleston May 10th to 13th inclusive, aod to elect a spoosor for tbe camp oo tbat occasion.

The Carolina Natiosal Back gare tba Colombia firemen $500, the City Council gave them $200 and Mr. W. A. Clark add added $50 as a testimocial of appr cia tioo of the departments excellent work at the City Hall fire. The money does Dot go into the general food of the fire compa ctes, but is to be divided among tbe Sremtn who worked at the fire. The Colombia fire department is composed of ^volunteers, who serve without reoumeratico, and the recog nitioo of their service in so substantial a meaner by those who received the benefit of the bard and hazardous work of the firemen, is a very pleasant contradiction of the often made assertion that tbsia^te co euch thing r.s appreciation Baak of Sumter Statement The quarterly statement of the Bank of Sumter is published to-day. and those inter ested in mattera financial will examine it with eatisfaction, for it is a very satisfactory and gratifying ehowing. The deposits have increased $2.788 since the last statement on December 31 ; the discounts have increased more than $2,500 ; there are no redicoaots aod the condition of the bank is healthy and prosper os io every respect. The iocreased deposits is ao indication that the country is io better financial condition than commonly believed, fer wheo baok deposita iocrease during the first quarter of the year tbere must be considerable surplus money in the country.

Among oar citizens is one who is closely re lated by marriage tc one of Sooth Carolina's ante bel lao] goveroors ; that is Mrs. Sarah Dwight, whose half aunt married James H. Adams, one of the most promioeot govern ors who Siled teat distinguished office pre vioos to the Confederate war A very read able sketch of Gov. Adams will be found in the delightful "Reminiscences" of Benjamin F. Perry, a voiume that richly merits a place in every librery ia South Carolina. Rev. and Mrs. T. J League, missionaries to China under the gospel mission plan, will be in the community this week. Mr. League will very probably preach at Bethel Church next Sunday forenoon. At 4.30 Sunday afternoon the gospel mission society will have a meeting which will be addressed by Mr. and Mrs. League. The public are invited to attend ? Mrs. M.A. H op h ron and Miss Laura Beck ham are visiting in the township Mr. Bert Beckham paid a flying visit here last week. We noticed in the Columbia State recently where one of the young men formerly of cur township, bad been honored in another county. That was Capt Richard Cain, of the S. C Co-educational Institute of Edge field. Last week be was elected second lieu tenant commander of the Beaufort Wallace camp Sons of Confederate veterans, at Edge field. The camp also elected bim aa alternate to the Confederate reunion in Charleston next month. Among the young men of our township is cue who is six feet one inch high. He is now 1? years old, but bad attained this height before he was 16. We take great ioteiest in the Sumter Graded School, and we were gratified at seeing that both tbs girls from Privateer Township who attend this school have received special men tion on the honor roll. As we walked through the woodlands yes terday we noticed that the sweet scented honey-suckle was in bloom. This was the Sr9t time we have seen honey-suckle bloome this spriog. We have seen some unusually pretty wild violets in the woods recently. We recently beard of a remarkable youth ful grandmother amoog the colored popula tion of this township, we made some inquiries about her and learned the follow ing : Moses Weeks, wbo lives on the Wells estate place, married a girl shortly after she was 12 years old-ehe will be 30 in Novem ber and has two daughters, one of whom is married and t&e mother of a child about nine months old We think Privateer can safely challenge the other townships of South Caro lina to show a younger grandmother than this. McD. F. Sumter One Hundred Years Old. Mr. Editor : We learn from the "Statutes at Large of South Carolina" that in Decem ber 1798, an act was passed by the genera] assembly appointing James Davis, William Taylor, Thomas Sumter, Jr., Herbsrt Rees, George Cooper, John Cassels and John Witherspoon, Jr., commisioners to ascertain and fix upon the most central place for tb erection of a court house and goal in thc district of Sumter. We learn that Dec. i79 the place for the court house had been fixed it was to be at or near the plantation o John Gale and court was to be held at Gale's house untii a court boose could be built. It will be Been from the above that the cit* of Sumter is now a hundred years old. Tb; fact is interesting and worthy of mention even though no centennial celebratioaof anj kind should be held, but as one who is inter ested in Sumter, I would be glad to see < centennial of some kind held.
