Official Organ of Lee County. Official Organ of Webster County. FOR CONGRESSMAN-AT-LARGE: THOMAS HARDEMAN, OF 8188. FOR CONGRESS 3rd DISTRICT; JUDGE C. F. CRISP, OF SUMTER. Election Tuesday, November 7tli, 1882. APPOINTMENTS. Charles F. 'Crisp, Democratic nominee for Congress from the Third Congressional District, will address his fellow-citizens at the following named time and places. All are in-, vited to attend: Preston, Monday, Oct. 30. Ellaville, Wednesday, Nov. 1. Oglethorpe, Thursday, Nov. 2. Leesburg, Saturday, Nov. 4. There are $5,220,000,000 invested in railroads of the United States. - ■ The fund for the Hill monument has reached the sum of $3,142,25. A post-office has been established at Arabi, Dooly county, three and a half miles southeast of Pateville, and ten miles from Peck. The annual value of the products of the United States are estimated at ten billion dollars. The value of our ex ports last year were $633,000,000. A chance for office seekers—up wards of' three hundred and fifty Presidential commissions of Postmas ters will expire at the next session of Congress. Georgia Wool in Boston. Georgia wool is quoted at 29 to 31 cents a pound. A sheep that yields 51bs brings an interest of $l5O, that is percentage of ten per cent, on $15,00. What investment pays more. Bishop Paine, senior bishop of the Methodist Episcopal Church South, closed his earthly career on Friday morning, 20th ult. He was born in North Carolina over eighty-three years ago of Baptist parentage. 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 dive and is marching a formidable army 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. Not Lager Foam, But Stalwart Froth. Springfield Republican, lad. Rep. The more the Ohio election is studied from the inside, the clearer it is that lager was not the sole cause of the over" torn. 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 ing out with the characteristic ejacula tion: “Tickets, gentlemen!” The con tribution that day was large. —Chicago Herald. A sect called the “New Israel” has risen among the Jews of Russia. It abandons circumcision, abstinence from certain viands, changes the Sabbath from the seventh to the first day and abolishes usury— .N. Y. Independent. 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. Littell’s Living Age. This standard weekly magazine reached its two thousandth number with the issue of the week ending Octo ber 21st.

Littell it Cos., Boston, are the pub lishers. Arrested in Albany. News and Advertiser. 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. “Uncle John,” said little Emily, “do you know that a baby that was fed on elephant’s milk gained twenty pounds in one week?” ‘‘Nonsense! Impossible!” exclaimed Uncle John; and then asked. “Whose baby was it?” “The elephant’s,” said the little girl. “Amicus Cato, amicus Plato, ami cus Cicero, sed major vei'.itas.” The next morning the lawyer found himselt reported in the newspapers as follows: “1 may cuss Cato, 1 may cuss Plato, I may cuss Cicero, said Major Veritas.” —i v. r.

The State is indorser for the South Georgia and Florida Railroad to the extent of $464,000, and on the Northeastern to the amount of $260. The State is secured in each instance by first liens.

Macon and Bruns wick Railroad—l9s miles—sold for $1,125,000, of which about $700,000 is yet due. Bonds of Marietta and North Georgia Railroad, $66,233,62.

The Treasurer estimates the receipts for the year 1883 at $1,361,- 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. liead and Act!

O . 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.
