D*rk Corner, Oct. 7.?Once again I will try and write a line for the Watchman and Southron. Nothing very exciting at this time. Cotton is about all gathered. Peas almost a failure in some or most Places. Corn Is also short. Potatoes and cane are fairly good. A lot of tine hay has been saved, and that of a tine quality. Rev. W. O. Elwell preached a fine sermon at the church hero last Sun? day night, the 1st. I hear, that Mr. J. Dargan Osteen is and has been quite sick for some time und Mr. E. L, Osteen has had a sick son with malarial fever. I have heard Mrs. Joe Galloway, who lives in Central Privateer, died very suddenly last Th.irsday morn? ing. Sheriff Bradford and Rural Police? man Newman are or have been around tightening the negroes by searching their houses, hunting for Ruby Lufd. who killed McBrldo lust Saturday night. I have not heard anything of Ludd since he did the killing. Since n y last letter our commun? ity has be in saddened by the death of Mrs. W. J. Ardis. She was a woman that Was bellked by everybody, both white and colored. She died Septem? ber 9th, being aged 71 years, seven months and twelve days. Had she lived until the 16th day of next Jan? uary she and Mr. Ardis would have celebrated their golden wedding. They were man led January 16th, 1867. She leaves besides her aged husband, two brothers, A. 8. Weeks of Gulf port, Miss, and R. P. Weeks of this corner and several nephews and nieces to mourn her death. Before her mar? riage Oho was Miss Ann J. Weeks, a daughter of William and Emily Weeks. She was a cousin to Mr. Al? bert H. Weeks of Sumter. Mr. Editor, It seems as If the people cannot become reconciled over tho re? sult of the primary election. Now 1 promised myself that this was one campaign year I was going to keep cool and "<> 1 have. If Blease should have been declared, the nominee 1 l would not nave shouted, and I can as? tro you, as Manning has been declar- j I am not pouting. I have no an Elken i|i thing ?tplngftH T Hv1 ning. He Is "nothing but'human and is as liable to make mistakes as I or you, Mr. Edltor. so I say let's all grab hold with Mr. Manning and each one from the highest to the most humble citizen do his duty. And with a Ion? pull, and a strong pull and a pull all together we can place old South Carolina where she ought to be, in the front rink of the States of the Union. This Is the opinion of old (not) slmp'e "Hard Times." N. B. W. J. Ardis begs to thank everybody who was so kind to hlin and his wUe during her sickness and death. And for the many kind words, deeds and friendly offers he has had tendered him since the death of his beloved wife. "H. T." SUMTER COTTON MARKET. Corrected Dally by HARBY & CO.. Cotton Buyers.

There must be some reason for it. Surely, these men would quickly pay a far higher price for another cigarette if it suited them better. That is just it. No other cigarette can quite give what Fatimas give. Some other cigarettes taste good, yes. But Fatimas do more?they are comfortable. Not only are they comfortable to the throat and tongue ivhile you smoke them, but, much mora important, they leave a man feeling keen and "fit" AFTER smoking, even though he smokes more than usual.
