Bishop Paine, senior bishop of the

closed his earthly career on Friday

One of the rumors is,that if Mr. Fol
ger is defeated for Governor of New
York, President Arthur will make a
clean sweep of the present Cabinet and
form anew one composed of practical
politicians who can handle the canvass
for him during 1883-4.
Governor Hawkins, of Tennessee,
thinks the prospects of the South as a
manufacturing section are very flatter
ing, and is especially enthusiastic about
his own State. About $2,000,000 are
now invested in Tennessee in cotton
factories, and they are in a prosperous
condition, paying large profits.
The Turkish false prophet has or
ganized a rebellion against the Khe

to attack him. At the same time the
Nubian Arabs are cn the war path and
it looks as if England is to have an
other and more formidable war on her
hands.
The Judgeship.
The Judgship of the S. W Circuit
will be on hand some time in the early
part of the session. There are several
good men in this circuit who have sig
nified a willingness to succeed Judge
Crisp. We want the best man possi
ble to follow Crisp, for it will require
such an one to give the universal satis
faction, that invariably followed the
rulings of Judge Crisp. No favor or
affection, no reward or the hope thereof,
did swerve him from the discharge of
his duty, and everybody knew it. Give
us a good man and don’t waste time,
value and be paid by the State a thou
sand dolfars a day.
Democrats Lookout for a Sell of
the First water.
The Radical tickets have been print
ed and distributed in every county and
district in the Third District. We
get reports from them, and see them
from every district in Sumter county.
Now then, it cannot be said if Judge
Crisp is left, that the Sumteii Repuh
ucan has failed to do its duty as a
watchman on the outer walls. Let
every man attend the election and vote,
do not hug the delusion to your breasts
that it is a walk-over you’re going to
havo. Not a bit of it. Thousands of
Harrell tickets will be presented and
voted, and every Democratic vote in
the District should be polled to prevent
a defeat, it is absolutely necessary.

DEMOCRATS,
REMEMBER
•m
---TH—
ATNEXT TUEDSAY
—IS—
ELECTION DAY.
Be Sure and Make Your Ar
rangements to Get Every
Voter to the Polls
EARLY IN THE DAY!
DEMOCRATS !
—GET OUT A—
FULL VOTE
—ON
ELECTION DAY
—AND—
Victory is Yours !
NEXT TUESDAY
Democrats. Are You Ready?
Democrats have you made all neces
sary airaugements to get out the full
Democratic vote in Sumter county?
Have you organized and made sure that
Demociatic voters will be at the polls
next TUESDAY? If not, you have not
an hour to lose. We have an undoubt
ed majority who are in favor of good
and honest government, but to make
that majority effective you must VOTE!
Talk all the other days in the year will
not do a tithe of the good which can he
accomplished by getting every Demo
crat to ATTEND THE'ELECTION!
Every Democrat in Sumter county is
expected to do his WHOLE DUTY!
It would be a CRIME to remain away
from the polls! And equally criminal
in men of influence not to use all the
power which God lias given them to get
out the FULL DEMOCRATIC VOTE!
Almost every election we have to regret
that from two to five hundred Demo
crats remain away on election day. Do
you prize the right or suffrage? You
would feel like taking up arms if the
attempt was made to deprive you of it.
And yet there are hundreds every elec
tion who voluntarily surrender the
DEAREST RIGHT OF A FREEMAN, and sIIOW
an indifference to the strongest demand
which Patriotism makes upon y?u by
asserting no opinion upon your own
government. Why, even an Ethiopean
would have more pride in citizenship in
our grand government where the ex
pressed voice of the people is omnipo
tent.
Then, to your tents, Isreal! Yours is
the party of the Constitution! Yours
is the party which carved out free gov
ernment, and set the world an example
which has permeated to the ends of the
earth! It is the mission of your party
to preserve free government and the
rights of the people. There has never
been a year hut your wily enemy has
sought some device to hide the treachery
of Esau with the garment of Jacob.
The Democracy, founded upon Right
and Truth—square dealing and fair
upon all public question, is the refuge
to which all lovers of good government
must come.
Sumter county ought to give a Demo
cratic majority of over five hundred next
Tuesday. It is not an impossibility if
every Democrat will do his duty. Many
honest Republicans will vote with us or
remain at home in disgust. Let every
Democrat be up and doing.
A railroad conductor was recently
chosen deacon of a church. When it
became his duty to take up a collection,
he surprised the congregation by start

tion: “Tickets, gentlemen!” The con
tribution that day was large. —Chicago

Senatorial Candidates.
Who shall succeed the great Ben
Ilill is a question now agitating several
prominents; while meeting the members
and State Senators and shaking their
bands with an unction, which could
have its origin alone in the highest
grade of esteem. The presumption is
that most of the members have made
up their minds, others having no pref
erences and will expedite the public in
terest by voting with the plurality thus
hastening the election. All those whose
names have been connected with the
senatorship are men of fine endowments
and would likely execute the high and
delicate trusts of the office gracefully.
We havo no suggestions to make to
our members or to the members from
any part of the State, believing as we
do, that most or all, have their prefer
ences predicated on such bases as are
satisfactory to themselves. The best
advice that occurs to us is to spend as
small a part of one day as possible or
as is consistent with the nature of the
case in.electing a successor to the late
Benj. H. Hill.

On the Brunswick train Friday
evening came up Messrs. Harrell,
Tatum and Pope, ofTifton. The first
named of these gentlemen will be re
membered as one of the principals in
the unfortunate Tifton tragedy of a
few weeks ago. The latter were his
friends and of his party on the day of
the tragedy. On the same train came
Col. Willis Hawkins, of Americus,
who, as a prosecuting attorney engag
ed by the Mayo party, handed over to
Sheriff Edwards warrants for the arrest
of each of the gentlemen. The sheriff
served his papers at about two o’clock,
and his prisoners were sent down to
Berrien county on the early Brunswick
train. Mr. Harrell was arrested upon
two warrants, one a peace warrant, and
the other charging him with murder.
The other gentlemen were arrested
upon peace warrants. We presume
each one will promptly give hail, and
the only inconvenience inflicted upon
them doubtless was being deprived oi
seeing the circus yesterday, which was
the object of their visit here.
Slain in a Bar-room Quarrel.
Winnepeg, Man., Oet. 28.—A man
named Archie McDonald, of Rat Port
age, and formerly of Enfield, near Hali
fax, N. S., ivas shot through the heart
in the Caledonia Hotel, late last night,
by one Robert D. Garvin, said to be
from the State of Georgia, and only
three days from the South where he
was a locomotive engineer. The vic
tim staggered forward about fifteen feet,
when murmering “I feel faint,” he
dropped dead. The tragedy was the
result of a drunken quarrel in the bar
of the hotel, during which McDonald
twitted Garvin with being a thief.
The latter retorted that he was a liar,
when the former struck Garvin, where
upon Garvin drew a revolver and shot
his assailant dead. The police took
the murderer into custody at once and
lodged him in jail.

317,14. The report is comprehensive
and interesting.
Remedy for Asthma.
Recently Dr.Willian Caldwell notic
ed in an Edenburg paper the statement
of a person who claimed to have been
cured of that troublesome disease, asth
ma, by the use of a weed known as
“Life Everlasting,” or halm, which
grows in abundance in all sections of
the country. Mrs. Caldwell lias long
been a sufferer from asthma, and she
has tried many different remedies with
out deriving much benefit. The doctor,
two weeks ago, gathered a good quan
tity of the weed and placed it in his
wife’s bed-chamber. The effect lias
been to entirely relieve her of the mal
ady, and to afford her much comfort.
She passes no more sleepless nights,
nor aije her waking hours any longer a
burden. The doctor also gave some of
the weed to Mr. J. H. Swank, who
heretofore had been afflicted with qstb
ma, and this morning lie said that since
he began the use of the halm lie has not
Buffered a particle from his old com
plaint. Some persons in using the herb
make a pillow of it, while others scat
ter it about the room and carry a hunch
on their persons, inhaling its rather
disagreeable odor at frequent intervals.
The remedy costs nothing and if it
possesses the healing powers cleaimed
for it, there will be many a poor mor
tal, particularly at this time of the year,
who will seek relief through its simple
agency. —Jolistown Tribune.

FROM HARPER’S BAZAR—September, 1882.
Another Velvet season is one of the certainties announced thus early by
the merchants. Plush is spoken of cautiously, and indeed deprecatingly,
because it does not wear satisfactorily, although there will be many entire
costumes of plush sent over from Paris. The best service, however, is given .
in the close short-pile velvets, and in the Nonpareil Velveteen, which is not
easily marred or creased. The Nonpareil Velveteen is found in all the stylish
new shades of old green, sapphire, wine-color, shaudron, bronze, seal brown
and black, and when made with the pile turned upward, so that it will be
raised by wear, instead of becoming flattened and sleek, it cannot be distin
guished from Silk Velvet. The difference in the price makes the costume
cost about one-third as much as if made of Lyons velvet, as the various quali
ties cost from SI to ?2 a yard. The Rnssian pelisse suits of this velveteen
will be worn in black and dark colors during the early autumn and entire
winter. The skirt will be short and round, and its only trimming a ruche
like that on the pelisse. There will also be English morning suits of vel
veteen made with belted hunting jackets, or the short cut-away coats such
as gentlemen wear in the morning. The lower skirt will be pleated half its
length, gored at the top, and the gored part covered by ample draperies.
PETERSON’S MAGAZINE—For a very handsome toilet we know of
nothing that can take the place of the Nonpareil Velveteen.
DEMOREST’S ILLUSTRATED JOURNAL—Nonpareil Velveteen,
when made up, looks so exactly like Lyons velvet that few experts can tell
the difference. r oct2stf
