The friends of Major Marion Moise have
brought his name before the voters of the
Third Judicial Circuit as candidate for Soli
citor. His fitness for the office has been
proven by the past year's attendance upon
its duties and if elected, he will no doubt
make a first class Solicitor.
Xr. Dkk Weeks of Clarendon, was in town
yesterday to attend a meeting of the stockhol
ders of the Bellemont Factory. As he does
not come to town often he received a warm

and is willing to do his pxrt toward increas

Hurrah for AsWey!
Showers have been plentiful and we have
no doubt that General Green is putting in
so vigorous an appearance as to require the
most strenuous effort on the part of our
' farmers to check him.
in speaking of Mr. Beard's candidacy last
" week, we said that a Sumter lawyer had been
Solicitor ever sines "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 hare received a neat little Volume of
Poems, "Plantation Lays and Other Poems,"
by Belton O'Neal Townsend, of Florence, S.
C, and tender our thanks for the same. Mr.
Tbwnsend's subjects are chiefly of a local na
ture, and as such, will interest all of our
"home folks" who worship the divine god
dess of poesy. The versification is very sweet
in some of the lays, though occasionally
faulty. The Book is healthy in sentiment
and morals, and we heartily commend it to
. the reading public. Sent postpaid os re
ceipt of price ($1 25) by the author at Flor

The Debating Society tackled a tongh sub
ject last week?Spiritualism. It was handled
most skilfully, in fact torn all to pieces, and
' at the dote of the debate, was as dilapidated
as an umbrella which bad been in the hands
of Lnla Borst Since writing the
above, a gentleman who is not yet a member
of the society, but who doubtless soon will
be, has defined Lnla Hurst's power as '-'the
. centrifugal force extending from the objective
point to the centre."

At a late meeting of Sumter Lodge I. O. G.
T., a committee consisting of W. F. Rharae,
W. H. Cuttino, and C M. Hurst, was ap
pointed to make the necessary arrangements
for organizing a County Lodge, which is to be
composed of delegates from.each subordinate
lodge in Sumter and Clarendon. The dele
gates will meet in the Hall of Sumter Lodge
the4th Wednesday in June, and organize.
An earnest invitation is extended to the Good
Templars in the Counties named to send a
full delegation, and 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
is full of humor and pathos. Laughter and
tears are near neighbors through all thescenes.
The courting scenes and little by plays b ?
tween Bob Briltles and the charmingly
piqnant Nettie Nettleby are very amusing.
While the downward progress of the poor
drunkard and the deep grief of his wife are
inexpressibly sad.
Come all and see it. Contribute to a good
?aase and enjoy yonrself hugely for the even
ing.
The price has been reduced to 50 cents for
reserved seats and 35 for general admission.

Deaths.
-
Died on Monday, the 26tb, Mrs. Barbara |
Jones, mother of Mr. Charles H. Jones of i
Sumter. She was 86 years old the 6th of this
? month?was stricken with paralysis seven
j months ago, though she had partially re
j covered, and her death was the result of a
I 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-knojvn over Sumter
County, through bis peculiar religious
rations, 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 riews, 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 sons, 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 Oakland, made an
effort to jump on it, while in motion; but
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
j service, they performed the amputation and
j left him doing well.
Cotton and Gins.
j Mr. C. T. Mason, Jr., has nearly com
j pleted a large gin, built upon the same plan j
? as his model, and is anxious to test it. He !
j will pay the highest market price for seed |
j cotton for that purpose, and will take it in |
I any quantities, large or small,
j Street Row.
j Sunday night, the congregation going j
j home from the Baptist Church met a boister- j
j ous crowd in front of Whiteheart's saloon,
i and some of them had difficulty In passing,
j Next morning wo heard that the proprietor
! had been drunk the night previous and snap
J ped a pistol, which was fortunately empty,
! at a colored man. He was arrested and
! brought before Council for punishment. Our
I information of the Council proceedings was
j meagre, 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 S5.00. Capt. Loring, who
I believes in the observance of law and the
i punishment of wrong, moved for a fine of
j $10.00, but no one being present to second the
j motion the Intendant imposed a fine of
1 $10 00, and would no doubt have been glad
! to m?ke it twice as heavy, for so aggravated
j an offence. Warden DeLorme was not pres
| ent at the meeting.
Court.
j The Court of General Sessions opened yes
! terday, with Judge Witherspoon presiding.
His charge to the Grand Jury covered the j
usual ground and was clear and succinct. He
dwelt frith emphasis, upon their duty in re
porting violations of the State law in refer
I ence to selling whiskey, and the necessity of
! making carefal examination of the books and
j bonds of the County officers.
j True bills have been found in the following
j cases:
The State vs. John Howell?burglary and
larceny. William G. Pierson?obtaining
j watch under false pretence. S. G. Dennis?
j trespass and larceny. William Thomas and
j Samuel Jackson?stealing live stock. Robt.
j Maiden?burglary and larceny. Virgil V.
j Lawson. Robt. Rose and Bina Lawson?riot
j and assault. The same defendants?riot and
{ trespass. Henry W. Wilder?carrying con
j ceaied weapons. Hector Stewart?selling
j crop under lien. James Bracy?burglary
' and larceny. Wm. Geddis?larceny. Allen
Mack?Arson.
Judge Witherspoon is pushing the work
j rapidly and the Sessions Docket will possibly
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 hist Wednesday
evening, brought out a prodigious crowd.
The Hall was packed and the behavior even
of the "bad boy" was remarkably good.
At 8 30 the curtain rose and disclosed a
pretty scene. A beautiful bower in the cen
tre of the stage, elaborately decorated, con
tained the throne for the Queen and seat* for j
her two maids of honor . placed against the
crimson background.
The exhibition opened with a song from an |
invisible choir, and then six girls as lovely as j
fairies trooj>ed in under the control of their j
directress. The Queen of May was crowned, |
the Queen of Fairies opportunely being j
present to perform that duty ; and through- i
out the remainder of the exercises, consisting ,
of songs, dialogues and recitations, the two |
Queens sat most lovingly side by side, while j
the stage was covered and pervaded by a vis
ion of loveliness rarely seen. The exhibition j
was full of delightfully fanciful conceit?; and j
the pretty little girls (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 j
lemonade, were on band and for sale in the i
rear of the Hall. Then came the rush ; bun- j
dreds of thirsty souls trying at the same j
time t<* cool their parching totigues. Will- :
ing hands waited on the eager customers, I
and the purse of the Church Building Asso- \
ciation was heavier by quite a large amount at j
the close of the evening.
Miss Sue Corbett was May Queen, Miss j
Lula Bultman Queen of the Fairies and Miss
Ckm China was Directress. '
WATC
Miss Lula Hurst.
The exhibition of the wonderful powers of
this youog lady was witnessed by a fairly
good house, last Friday nijrht. Mis3 Hnrst,
her father and mother, and Prof. Atkinson
made np 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
d'iring the performance, more especially
v . i she has some unfortunate racing across
th?. -.age, 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 merrry dance over the
stage, and returned utterly discorafitted.
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 further triads, in all of wbich the urn-'
-fcrellas came to grief, a billiard cue was
brought out and several amusing tests of the
power made with it. Miss Hurst did not
grasp the cue but merely laid her open palm
against it, while a gentleman would stand in
front, and grasp it with both hands. In a '
few -noments the cue would move suddenly,
frequently changing its direction, but with a
force almost resistless as long as the perform- 1
er's hands were in contact with it. After a
few minutes recess, daring which Prof. Atkin
son gave an aransiDg account of "Old Ruby's
playing," Miss Hurst showed her power in
moving, or preventing the movement of
chairs. At one time, four or five stout men
were tugging at one chair, which was held
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 Col.?Earle, Maj. Beard, Mr. Perry Mos
es, Mr. I. C. Ingram, W. D. Blanding, Esq.,
Mr. J. H. Chandler, Mr. J. A. Schwerin and
Mr. W. F. Rbame, in addition to those we
have already mentioned.
She is a veritable wonder, and ha3 been the
main topic of conversation on the streets
since the exhibition Friday night.
Waceamaw.
The excursion to Waceamaw came off, as
advertised, with great eclat. The party had
a glorious day at the lake, boating, fishing,
dancing, loafing, gossiping and, some of
them, sleeping. They reached home Friday
morning in good spirits and with dirty faces.
(We suppose towels and soap were scarce
down there.)
Several little side shows were enjoyed
during the trip. One of the excursionists got
into a scrimmage with a Florence youth, and
they tried to break each others' heads, but
made a signal failure, A gallant Marion
youth felt himself agrieved by another excur
sionist, and commenced choking him, but
help came and peace was made. An ex-po
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
are ready to go again?next year.
Sumter Democratic Club Meeting.
The Club met in the Music Hall at 8:30 P.
M. Tuesday, 20th instant, with the following
officers: W.U. Cuttino, President; H. F.
Wilson, Esq., Vice President, and T. T. Up
shur, Jr., Secretary.
The President stated the business of the
meeting to be the election of delegates to the
County Convention, which meets here June
2d. There being 428 names on the roll, the
Club was entitled to seventeen delegates and
a delegate at large, and the following were
elected:
W. II. Cuttino, delegate at large: R D.
Lee, Hon. Jno. S. Richardson, A. Moses, H.
F. Wilson, Esq., R. A. Brand, Dr. A. L.
Blanding? M. Moise, Esq., L. P. Loring, J.
J. Dargan, Esq., W. D. Blanding, Esq., Dr.
J. J. Bossard, H. Sch.verin, Dr. J. A. Mood,
R J. Dick, J. F. W. DeLorme, D. J. Auld
and R. F. Hoyt, delegates, and Jos H. Earle,
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. Mouaghan was appointed to revise the
roll.
Mr, D. B. Anderson offered a resolution,
that we pursue in the campaign of 1884 a
conciliatory policy toward the negroes, com
patible with Democratic dignity, which was
adopted. He 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 stead, that
he shonld 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
County, and we endorse his administration.
The meeting then adjourned.
Providence Democratic Club.
Providence Democraic Club met on tho
24th May, to elect delegates to the County
Convention, to be held iu Sumter the 2d of
June.
The representation was based upon the roll
of 18*2, after striking therefrom the names of
thirty-four members who have removed from
the township or have died since that time.
Nineteen new members were aided to the
Club, which then elected eight delegates in
cluding one al large, and four alternates.
The delegates were instructed to vote for the
Primary System uf nominating County officers,
shun Id that matter be brought, before this
Convention. The following resolutions were
offered and passed?the first, unanimously,
the second with but three dissenting votes:
Unsolved, 1st. That the Providence Club
desires union and harmony in the Party of
our County, and seriously apprehend, that a
rupture and division can only bo averted by
a fair and square primary election lor the
nomination of County officers in the ap
proaching campaign.
Resolved, 2d. That it is the sense of this
Club that his Excellency, Hugh S. Thompson,
in accordance with his declaration of princi
ples and purposes, also ?villi Iiis oath of office,
has ably and faithfully discharged the duties
of the Executive office; and we therefore
heartily endorse and commend his adminis
tration.
The meeting was well attended, and all
sections of the township were represented.

From Mt. Clio.
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 Demecratic Club met at its usual place,
Keid'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 sliowers 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 to the cultiva
tion of small grain than formerly, and when
""TtTey-devote still more attention to it, in ray
opinion, there will be a corresponding im
provement in finances: and the most effectual
way of abolishing the "Lien Law," will be
for every farmer to make his bread-stuffs at
home, and not have his granary in the far
West. W.

kins :
Resolved, 1st. That we condemn the at- J
tempt made by certain persons in the County J
papers to create dissension in the Democratic j
Party.
2d. That we endorse the action of our Sen
ator in reference to appointments of officers j
for this County.
3d. That our delegates be instructed to

Hagood, S. C , May 26th, 1884.
Mr. Editor: A meeting of the Rafting
Creek Democratic Club, was held at Rera
bert's Mill ou Saturday evening the 24th,
inst. The President being absent Dr. E. J.
Rernbert wascallcd 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
were appointed to the Count}' Convention, to
meet on the 2nd, prox. At large, Dr. E. J.
Rernbert; 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 minority of the delegates are in
favor of the convention plan.
