Hurrah for As Wey !

no doubt that General Green is putting in j
so vigorous an appearance as to require the '
most strenuous effort on the part of onr

in speaking of Mr. Beard's candidacy last ;
week, we said that a Sumter lawver had been
Solicitor ever since "reconstruction." We
meant reconstruction in that office, when a
Democrat was elected to succeed a Republi
can. Of course we did not mean the recon
struction of eighteen years ago.
We have received a neat little Volume of
Poems, "Plantation Lays and Other Poems,"
by Belton O'Neal Townseud, of Florence, S.

Townsend's subjects are chiefly of a local na
ture, and as such, will interest all of our
<(bome folks'* who worship th?* divine god
deat of poesy. The versification is very sweet
in some of the Uys, though occasionally
faulty. The Book is healthy in sentiment
and morals, and we heartily commend it to
* . the reading public. Sent postpaid on re

The Debating Society tackled a tough sub

at the close of the debate, was as dilapidated

abore, a gentleman who is not yet a member
of the society, but who doubtless soon will
be, ban defined Lula Hurst's power as "the

pointed to make the necessary arrangements
for organizing a County Lodge, which is to be

the4th Wednesday in Juoe. and organize.
An earnest invitation is extended to the Good

full delegation, aod give a good send off to
this enterprise.
A Social Glass.
We cannot speak too highly of this Drama
which is to come off to-night. The actors all
do credit to their parts and nothing less than
a crowded house should greet them. The play
it full of humor aod pntho3. Laughter and
tears are near neighbors through ail the scenes.
The courting scenes and little by plays be
tween Bob Brittles and the charmingly
piquant Nettie Nettleby are very amusing.
While the downward progress of the poor
drunkard and the deep grief of his wife are
inexpressibly sad.
Gome all and see it. Contribute to a good
cause and enjoy yourself hugely for the even
ing.

Died on Monday, the 26tb, Mrs. Barbara
Jones, mother of Mr. Charles H. Jones of
Sumter. She was 86 years old the 6th of this
month?was stricken with paralysis seven
months ago, though she had partially re
covered, and her death was the result of a
j combination of diseases. Her funeral services
were held at the Cemetery this morning by
Rev. C. C. Brown.
Mr, Cunningham Boyle, formerly of
Lynchburg, *died near Greeleyville on the
Central R. R., on Saturday the 10th instant.
Mr. Boyle was well-knojrn over Sumter
County, through bis peculiar religious
notions, which he advocated for years most
strenuously. His honesty of purpose was
known and acknowledged by all, and while
but few were inclined to subscribe to his
religious views, none doubted his conscien
tious belief.
Mr. Boyle was twice married. Mrs. Mar
tha Fullwood was his first wife and Mrs. M.
S. Carraway his second. He leaves his wife,
two eons, two daughters and a brother to
mourn his loss.
A Serious Accident.
Yesterday morning, a negro man, Jessie
?:-, who had charge of a tram car at Mr.
IVC. Ingrara's mill, near Oaklaud, made an
effort to jump on it, while in motion; but j
fell in front, and his foot caught in the wheel,
and was badly crushed. Dr. Mood was sent
for, and pressing Rev. C. C. Brown into
service, they performed the amputation and
left him doing well.
Cotton and Gins.
Mr. C. T. Mason, Jr., has nearly com
: pleted a large gin, built upon the same plan j
as his model, and is anxious to test it. He !
i will pay the highest market price for seed j
j cotton for that purpose, and will take it in |
! any quantities, large or small.
Street Row.
Sunday night, the congregation going
home from the Baptist Church met a boister
ous crowd in front of Whiteheart's saloon,
and some of them had difficulty In passing.
Next morning we heard that the proprietor
had been drunk the night previous and snap
I ped a pistol, which was fortunately empty,
1 at a colored man. fie was arrested and
' brought before Council for punishment. Our
j information of the Council proceedings was
j n.?agre, but we understand that two of the
j Wardens, whose sympathies and predilections
j are always on the side of the saloon keeper,
j voted for a fine of $5.00. Capt. Loring, who
j believes in the observance of law and the
! punishment of wrong, moved for a fine of
$10.00, but no one being present to second the |
I motion the Intendant imposed a fine of j
j i
j S10 00, and would no doubt have been glad
I to m?ke it twice as heavy, for so ?pgrnvated
j an offence. Warden DeLorme was not pres
| ent at the meeting.
Court.
The Court of General Sessions opened yee
| terday, with Judge Witherspoon presidiog.
His charge to the Grand Jury covered the
usual ground and was clear and succinct. He
dwelt Vilh emphasis, upon their duty in re
porting violations of the State law in refer
! ence io selling whiskey, and the necessity of
! making careful examination of the books and
j bonds of the County officers,
j True bills have been found in the following
! cases:
} The State vs. John Howell?burglary and
f larceny. William G. Pierson?obtaining
watch under false pretence. S. G. Dennis?
trespass md larceny. William Thomas and
Samuel Jackson?stealing live stock. Robt.

and larceny. Wm. Geddis?larceny. Allen

Judge Witherspoon is pushing the work
rapidly and the Sessions Docket will possibly j
be cleared by Wednesday night.
The Grand Jury was discharged to-day. ]
A Pretty Scene
The crowning of the May Queen by the
Methodist Sunday School last Wednesday
evening, brought out a prodigious crowd.
The Hall whs parked and the behavior even
of the "bad boy" was remarkably good.
At 8 30 the curtain rose and disclosed a
pretty scene. A beautiful bovver in the cen
tre of the stage, elaborately decorated, con
tained the throne for the Queen and seats for
her two maids of honor . placed against the
crimson background.
The exhibition opened with a son^ from an
invisible choir, and then six girls as lovely as
fairies trooped io under the control of their
directress. The Queen of May was crowned,
the Queen of Fairies opportunely being
present to perform that duty ; and through
out the remainder of the exercises, consisting
of songs, dialogues and recitations, the two
Qtieens sat most lovingly side by side, while
the stage was covered and pervaded by a vis
ion of loveliness rarely seen. The exhibition
was full of delightfully fanciful conceit? ; and
the pretty little girl? (and big ones too) in
their fairy costumes made the scene most in
teresting even to those who could hear noth
ing. Dr. Auld stated at the close of the
ceremony that ice cream, strawberries and
lemonade, were on hand and for sale in the
rear of the Halt. Then came the rush ; hun
dreds of thirsty souls trying at the same
time t? cool their parching totigues. Will
ing hands waited on the eager customers,
and the purse of the Church Building Asso
ciation was heavier by quite a large amount at
the close of the evening.
Miss Sue Corbett was May Queen, Miss
Lula BultmanQueen of tbe Fairies and Miss
Clean China was Directress.
: WATC
Miss Lula Hurst.
The exhibition of the wonderful powers of
this young lady was witnessed by a fairly
good house, last Friday night. Mis3 Hurst,
her father and mother, and Prof. Atkinson
made up the troupe. She is a tall, well form
ed young lady, of modest demeanor and
pleasant face, crowned with a wealth of dark
brown, curly hair. She laughs a great deal
during the performance, more especially
when she has some unfortunate racing across
the stage, at break-ueck speed.
Prof. Atkinson made some introductory re
marks, and then called upon a number of
gentlemen to take seats upon the stage and
test the reality of the performance. Mr.
Henry Harby was first turned over to the ten
der mercies of this resistless power. Miss
Hurst held an open umbrella above him. It
soon began to gyrate rapidly., and the couple
were hustled over the stage in all directions,
over chairs and around the scenes, until the
umbrella was finally crushed. Mr. Altaraont
Moses was next led a raerrry dance over the i
stage, and returned utterly discomfit ted. |
The Proprietor of the Watchman and Southron
tried his hand, and in a few moments he was
rushing across the stage with as much speed
as if he were running for a doctor. After
some.fn-b^- ?rl. '.s, in all of which the urn- j
brellas came to grief, a billiard cue was I
brought out and several amusing tests of the i
power made with it. Miss Hurst did not!
grasp the cue but merely laid her open palm
against it, while a gentleman would Staad in
front, and grasp it with both hands. In a
few moments the cue would move suddenly,
frequently changing its direction, but with a
force almost resistless as long as the perform
er's hands were in contact with it. After a
few minutes recess, during which Prof. Atkin
son gave an amusing account of "Old Ruby's
playing," Miss Hurst showed her power in J
moving, or preventing the movement of j
chairs. At one time, four or five stout men j
were tugging at one chair, which was held j
suspended in the air by her mysterious pow
er. She moved chairs across the stage with
men seated in them, merely laying her open '
palms against the back. Her power was test- ?
ed by CoI>Earle, Maj. Beard, Mr. Perry Mos- I
es, Mr. I. C. Ingram, W. D. Blanding, Esq., !
Mr. J. H. Chandler, Mr. J. A. Schwerin and
Mr. W. F. Rhame, in addition to those we
have already mentioned.
She is a veritable wonder, and has been the j
main topic of conversation on the streets
since the exhibition Friday night.
Waccamaw.
The excursion to Waccamaw came off, as ;
advertised, with great eclat. The party had I
a glorious day at the lake, boating, fishing, i
dancing, loafing, gossiping and, some of ?
them, sleeping. They reached home Friday ;
morning in good spirits and with dirty faces, j
(We suppose towels and soap were 6carce \
down there.)
Several little side shows were enjoyed j
during the trip. One of the excursionists got I
into a scrimmage with a Florence youth, and I
they tried to break each others' heads, but \
made a signal failure, A gallant Marion j
youth felt himself agrieved by another excur- j
sionist, and commenced choking him, but j
help came and peace was made. An cx-po- i
liceman, of Sumter, who believes in the old
saying that "all work and no play makes
Jack a dull boy," was having a gay time
with the crowd ; but indulged in too much
chin music while in combative Florence, and
was promptly knocked down. He has heen
wearing court plaster ever since. The party
caught one fish and had three extra bites,
(mosquito bites possibly,) and, as we before
remarked, had a superlatively good time, and j
are ready to go again?next year.

The Club met in the Music Hall at 8:30 P. j
M. Tuesday, 20th instant, with the following i
officers: W.U. Cuttino, President; II. F. j
Wilson, Esq., Vice President, and T. T. ?p- i
shur, Jr., Secretary.
The President stated the business of the j
meeting to be the election of delegates to the I
County Convention, which meets here June
2d. There being 428 names on the roll, the !
Club was entitled to seventeen delegates and I
a delegate at large, and the following were I
elected :
W. II. Cuttino, delegate at large; R D. j
f.#ee, lion. Jno. S. Richardson, A. Moses, 11. j

Esq., D. B. Anderson, H. L. Darr, J. D.
Graham, M. Sanders and J. J. McLeod, alter
nates. The delegates were instructed to vote
for the Primary System, in making nomina
tions.
On motion, the Club opposed nomination
of State officers at the June Convention.
A committee consisting of W. II. Cuttino,
D. J. Auld, J. D. Graham, A. Moses and R.
P. Monaghan was appointed to revise the
roll.
Mr. D. B. Anderson offered ft resolution,
that we pursue in the campaign of 1884 a
conciliatory policy toward the negroes, com
patible with Democratic dignity, which was
adopted. lie also offered a resolution that
all the campaign expenses be paid by the
nominees for office, which was adopted, but
afterwards reconsidered and laid on the table.
It was decided that should any delegate be
absent when the Convention was organized,
and an alternate be seated in his 6tead, that
he should serve as delegate during the whole
Convention, even though the absent delegate
should afterwards present himself.
On motion it was resolved, that we uphold
Gov. Thompson in his practical illustration
of civil service reform, as applied to Sumter j
j County, a.id we endorse his administration.
The meeting then adjourned.
Providence Democratic Club.
Providence Democraic Club met on tho
24ih May, to elect delegates to the County
Convention, to be held in Sumter the 2d of
June.
The representation was based upon the roll
j of 1882, after striking therefrom the names of
{ thirty-four members who have removed from
j the township or have died since that time.
J Nineteen new members were added to the
j Club, which then elected eight delegates in
; eluding one at large, and four alternates,
j Tiie delegates were instructed to vote for the
I Primary System of nominating County officers,
; should thai matter be brought before this
Convention. The following resolutions were
I offered and passed?the first unanimously,
! the second with but three dissenting voles:
Rrsolved, 1st. That the Providence Club
! desires union and harmony i:i the Party of
j our County, and seriously apprehend, that a
' rupture and division can only be averted by
! a fair and square primary election for the
nomination of County officers in the ap
proaching campaign. i
Itcsolrrd, 2d. That il is the sense of this
I Club that his Excellency, Hugh S. Thompson,
j in accordance with his declaration of princi
j pies and purposes,also with his oath of office,
I has ably and faithfully discharged the duties
j of the" Executive office; and we therefore
j heartily endorse and commend his adminis
j nation.
i The meeting was well attended, and all
j sections of the township were represented.

Mt. Clio, Scmter-Co., May 26, 1884.
Mr. Editor: I notice in your columns let
letters from different parts of the County, but
have never seen one from my portion?old
Mt. Clio?so have concluded to write you a
few lines to let you see that she is not dead,
if she is in the ''black District."
Our Dcmecratic Club met at its usual place,
Reid's Mill, on Saturday afternoon, 24th
instant, for reorganizing and electing officers
to serve for the next two years. Our honored
and esteemed citizen, Col. J. Harrington
Cooper was unanimously elected President,
Mr. J. C. Scott, Vice President, and Mr. A.
A. Brearley, our most enterprising young
farmer, Secretary and Treasurer.
The weather has been fine for several weeks,
with now and then refreshing showers to
quench the thirst of the young cotton plant.
Crops are growing finely. A good many
farmers did not get a perfect stand of cotton
at the beginning of the season, but by pa
tience and replanting they have all succeeded
in getting good stands. Corn crops are quite
encouraging at present. Farmers in this sec
tion are paying more attention ro the cultiva
tion of small grain than formerly, and when
uey dovote still more attention to it, in my
opinion, there, will be a corresponding im
provement in finances: and the most effectual
way of abolishing the^LTea Law," will be
for every farmer to make his bread-3tuffs at
home, and not have bis granary in the far
West. W.

tempt made by certain persons in the County

Party.

Hagood, S. C , May 26th, 1884.
Mr. Editor: A meeting of the Ratling
Creek Democratic Club, was held at Rem
bergs Mill ou Saturday evening the 24th,
inst. The President being absent Dr. E. J.
Remoert was called to the chair, and Mr. A.
K. Sanders requested to act as Secretary.
The meeting was not as large as was expected,
owing to a heavy rain which fell about the
hour of assembling. The following delegates

Rembert; Messrs. T. 0. Sanders, Isaac Keels,
J. K. McLeod, J. W. Hudson, and G. W.
Hancock. The primary or convention sys
tem of nominating County officers did not
come up before the club, but I am inclined to
believe a majority of the delegates are in
favor of the convention plan.

and has worked wonders in Thousands of such

From the "Sj'irit of the Times,'' Aw. 17, S3.
The successful treatment of ringbones,
spavins, and joint lameness h..s not been
prevalent in the veterinary profession, but
we find that Dr. Kendall has discovered a
remedy for such troubles that is doing noble
work every where. This remedy is certain in
its effects, and docs not blister, but it hasn
magical effect in reducing the e.tihirjs&mrnl
