The peas that have been recently
planted are looking finely. Our far

this year to help fill the falling off in

A Savannah court has commenced a

David Davis, has returned from his
extended wedding tour, setting down
to quiet life at the early age of sixty
eight. He seems as youthful as the
freshest bridegroom among the noble
order of dudes. He is out of politics,
has money enough to keep the wolf
from the door for a year or two and
there really appears to be no reason
why he should not be quite as happy
as any one.
The fact that copies of the revised
new Testament are being sold for rag
paper, should prove a warning to pub

that the gieat mass, of the people love
the old Bible, and cannot supplant it
with the new version, if it has a few
extra finishing touches.
William H. Beckwith and his sister,
Miss Agnes Beckwith, the English
swimmers, arrived at Now York from
London on Tuesday. To a reporter
who asked the woman if she could re
main in the water a whole day she re
plied: “Why, bless you, three whole
days—and, mind you, I include the
nights as well.” Miss Beckwith’s
best long swim was twenty miles in
six hours and twenty-five minutes.
W eek of Prayer.
The College of Bishops of the Meth

prayer be made for a revival of the
work of God, and for the enlargement
and prosperity of the mission fields at
home and abroad.
The Kaolin Beds.
When we find such an item as the
following in the Sumter Republican
we take pleasure in giving it promi
nence by placing it in this column:
“We learn that there exists on the
lands of the estate of the late Robert
Hodges, near Andersonville, several
valuable beds of Kaolin, one of which
extends across the railroad. These
beds have been examined by mineral
ogists and pronounced very fine. Sev
eral years ago when trying to locate a
brick yard for the purpose of making
brick to enclose the National Cemetery
at Andersonville, the men who had the
contract examined all these beds and
pronounced them as fine Kaolin as
could be found in the county. Now
here is a splendid place for a crockery
manufactory, nearly everything needful
is on hand, and an enterprising compa
ny can here start an enterprise that
may “lead on to fortune.”
Atlanta, Ga., June Bth, 1883.
Editor Sumter Republican: We
enclose the above slip cut from the
Atlanta Ever.iny Journal yesterday.
We have frequent enquiries for clays
suitable for Porcelain Ware, Fire
Brick and Terra Cotta work. Had a
visit only five days ago from a promis
ing gent of Ohio, who requested us to
procure sample, of clay suitaolefor fine
Porcelain Ware, and we are now cor
responding with several parties touch
ing this matter. It is stated that if
Kaolin of suitable grade, with favor
able shipping facilities can be had,
that a plant will probably be made at
the beds, rather than transport the
Kaolin to Ohio. Ask your friendß who
represent the estate of Robert Hodges,
near Andersonville, to send us speci
men taken at various places,
and depths showing in this way a fair
average of quantity; also if property is
for sale, to state what the mineral in
terest can be bought for, including
acreage enough for building &c. State
thickness of vein and extent of deposit.
Yours Respectfully,

A Voice to the Voters of Sumter
Upon Taxation, Representa
tion and Disfranchisement.
Taxation and representation are in
all republican governments insepara
bly connected. The right to vote is
the highest privilege of a freeman. It
is the distinguishing feature between a
citizen and a subject. It is the right
of the poor as well as of the rich. It
is in harmony with the laws of our
being, inherited from the author of man
and rendered inalienable by a provision
in the constitution of our country un
der well defined restrictions.
The light of franchise cannot be vi
ciated nor made void except by a
change of government, voluntary re
nunciation, crime or taxation beyond
the pecuniary means of the poor to meet.
The right to vote should be watched
with a vigilar.t eye, guarded and pro
tected and transferred to future genera
tions a sacred trust left with us for them.
The right of franchise is a rich jewel
deposited iu a rude casket composed of
the bone, the sinew and brain of avari
cious man liable to err. Unlike all oth
er jewels its true value can only be re
alized when lost.
Having premised so much 1 ask the
question do the voters of Sumter realize
the fact that danger is threatened? Do
they realize that the recent recommen
dation of the Grand Jury, if carried
out by the county officials, must inevi
tably result in the concentration of all
political and municipal power in the
hands of the rich and the disfranchise
ment of the poor? I wish hereto be
clearly understood. I do not call in
question the honor, the integrity, or pa
triotism, of the authors of the various
moves that are before us. I assume,
and believe, that the motives which led
te the proposal to tax the people with
thirty thousand dollars and to give to
the county commission the power to as
sess a tax upon real estate sufficient to
keep the 300 miles of public roads in
order, and bridges in repair are pure.
But I do call in question that wisdom
that would ask an increase of official
power, I do call in question the wis
dom, and expediency, of all measures
that has for their object an annual tax
upon the people that is arbitrary and
oppressive in its operations and so far
beyond the ability of the poor to pay.
And I do callin question that reckless
ness and financial weakness, that
would place so great a sum in the hands
of any man, or set of men, without a
bond sufficient to cover any possible
loss. While Ido believe that while
the people would be safe in putting
large sums in the hands of the present
board that the precedent would ulti
mately prove disastrous to the county
and not iu harmony with prudence- and
financial efficiency. I take higher
grounds, 1 repudiate and condemn that
want of financial ability, or reckless
ness, of expenditure that calls for a de
gree of taxation that must, inevitably,
drive the poor from the ballot box, and
concentrate all power iu the hands of a
few.
I am aware of the force of these stric
tures but I hope it will be remembered
that they are upon measures and not
men, and that they are necessary to
arouse a people to action who have
been thrown off of their guard by the
uniform integrity and efficiency of the
officials of Sumter.
We have no fears that the people
will ever be deprived of the right of
suffrage by a change of government or
by a voluntary action, but the opera
tion of the criminal law and injudicious
taxation will ever have a tendency to
the disfranchisement of our people.
During the short period that the law
authorizing the organization of a chain
gang in Sumter county many have
been disfranchised by convictions and 1
now take occasion to warn the voters
of Sumter k county that it the meas
ures now before the people asking for
the extension of the chain gang and an
increase of power to tax the people for
road purposes and the building of anew
court house are carried out, nine tenths
of the poor will be deprived of the
right to vote in the political and muni
cipal elections of the county, from an
inability to pay their tax.
It is safe to say that no laboring
man, white or colored, will pay a city
tax of less than three dollars and where
a one horse dray is run as a vocation
fourteen dollars} will have to be payed
to entitle him to vote. This sum is
the tax of a poor man without property
including a poll tax of one dollar to
the county collector, and who is now
called upon to say whether he is will
ing to pay his share of the fifty or six
ty thousand dollars proposed to be as
sessed.
Having exhausted the resources of
the non property holders in the pay
ment of the city tax, and found them
excluded from the ballot box by reason
of their inability to pay, we tun our
attention to that portion of the citizens
who own the property of the county,
some of whom are engaged in this wild
scheme of taxation. We know that
the state and county tax will approxi
mate $22,000, now we assume that
$30,000 in bonds added to the proposed
assessment for roads and bridges will
be at least $50,000, making an aggre
gate sum of seventy two thousand dol
lars of unpaid tax, which if paid at all,
must be done by the property holders
of Sumter. Now if it requires an as
sessment of eight dollars on the thous
and upon the property of the county to
raise $22,000 of state and county tax,
it will take twenty dollars on the
thousand to raise the seventy two
thousand called for by the measures
recommended by the grand jury. Now
to expose the folly of these measures I
assume the aggregate value of the prop
erty owned by the board of county
commissioners to be three hundred
thousand dollars, which multiplied by
twenty two makes a tax of six thous
and six hundred dollars due by the
commissioners. Will they pay it?
Poor Jonathan.
HOME, SWEET HOME.
The Remains of John Howard Payne
Laid to Rest in His Native Land—
A Magnificent Procession Escorts
tiie Body to the Grave—The Mon
ument Unveiled in the Presence
of an Immense Assemblage of Spec
tators.
Washington, June 10.—After thirty
years burial in the land of his exile,
the remains of the author of “Home,
Sweet Home,” were yesterday laid to
rest in tlio soil of his native land. The
pagentry of the funeral cortege and the
ceremonies of the occasion were a trib
ute to the genius of John Howard
Payne in keeping with the place which
he holds in the homes and the hearts
of the American people. With the
solemn strains of funeral dirges, the
measured tramp of martial columns,
and the distinguished following of no
table men, representing all the honor
able walks of life.
THE FUNERAL PROCESSION
passed through the streets of the
National Capital to the silent resting
place of the dead. All the pomp and
circumstance of human grandeur con
tributed to this final honor paid by the
living to the dead. The government
was represented by its Chief Executive
and his Council of Constitutional ad
visers; by the occupants of the bench
of its judiciary; by members of both
houses of Congress; by numerous rep
resentatives of the Army and Navy,
and by members of the diplomatic
corps. The array of prominent gov
ernment officials, of representatives of
foreign powers, the presence of the mil
itary and throngs of citizens, gave a
demonstration ot national character
that marked it as a tribute of the en
tire nation. The procession was form
ed at the Gallery of Art, where the
military and civilians began to gather
sometime before the appointed hour, 4
o’clock. The remains, inclosed in a
handsome casket, were placed in a
hearse which had been especially built
for the occasion. It was a square fin
ished vehicle, with plate-glass walls,
surmounted by six urns and drawn by
four white horses.
The procession moved in the follow
ing columns of march, via Pennsylva
nia avenue to the cemetery. Regular
troops under the command of Major-
General R. B. Ayres; the city military
organization; High School Cadets,
commanded by Captain A. A. Smith;
battallion of the Second Artillery, offi
ciating clergy, pall-bearers, hearse bear
ing the remains of John Howard Payne.
About fifty carriages followed, con
taining relatives of John Howard
Payne, the orator of the day, the poet
of the day, the President of the United
States, members of the Cabinet, mem
bers of the Diplomatic Corps, the
Chief Justice and Associate Justices of
the Supreme Court of the United
States, the Chief Justice and Associate
Justices of the District of Columbia,
and many other distinguished persons.
All along the whole route people gath
ered to witness the splendid and impos
ing funeral pageant; the sidewalks
were thronged and the windows filled
with eager spectators.
THE RELATIVES OF PAYNE
in the procession were Rev. Mr. Liquer
and wife, Bedford Station, N. the
latter being a niece of Payne; Mrs. O.
N. Payne, Brooklyn who was accom
panied by Gabriel Harrison, an inti
mate friend of Payne’s and author of a
book of reminiscences. Another inti
mate friend, Mr. Jos. De Sha Picket,
of Frankfort, Ky., was also present.
Before the procession reached Oakhill,
the holders of tickets had begun to
arrive and take their positions at the
platform which had been built around.
THE MONUMENT.
The shaft is white marble, surmount
ed by a bust one-lialf larger than life
size and is supported on a base ol solid
gray granite six feet square. The
height of the monument is four
teen feet, and its general design is Ro
man, of a pure classical type. The
inscription and designs on the shaft
are simple. On the front is the follow
ing brief but sufficient inscription:
JOHN HOWARD PAYNE.
AUTHOR OF “HOME, SYVEET HOME,”
Born, June 9, 1792;
Died, April lOtli, 1852.
On the back is the inscription which
was on the tombstone that marked his
grave in Tunis. It is as follows.
“Sure when thy gentle spirit fled,
To realms above the azure dome,
Witli amis outstretched, God’s angel said,
Welcome to heaven’s home, sweet home.”
The monument was shrouded iu
folds of white, and unveiled during the
exercises. Ample platforms were built
around three sides, leaving the fourth
side open. On the other side was a
platform occupied by the speakers and
distinguished guests. On the left or
west side were seated the singers and
the Marine Band, and on the east side
was a large platform where the general
public was'accommodated. There were
seats provided for about nineteen thou
sand people. The front of the speak
ers’ platform was covered with ever
greens and flowers, while the folds of
our nation’s flag and the Tunis colors
appeared on either side. When the
procession reached the cemetery the
coffin was carried by the pall bearers
inside the grounds and laid upon the
bier at the side of the monument. It
rested upon a bed of evergreens and
flowers. The order of exorcises was as
follows: Music by the Marine Band,
reading tlio scriptures, poem by R. S.
Chilton, after the reading of which the
monument was unveiled and Payne’s
“Home, Sweet Home” sung by a full
chorus, with organ accompaniment, the
whole assemblage joining in the last
verse. Oration by Leigh Robinson;
interment ceremonies; Music, grand
Hallelujah chorus from the Messiah
(Handel,) by the Philharmonic Society
and the Marine band, the audience
arising; benediction; music, finale, by
tho Marine band, “Safe in the Arms of
Jesus.” The coffin was placed in the
vault directly beneath the monument.
Crop Reports.
On Wednesday, the 6tli, Commis
sioner of Agriculture Henderson con
cluded a consolidation of the ciop re
ports for June 18th. The condition of
corn, compared to the same time last
year, is 90 per cent. Heavy rains in
the early spring, and an unprecedented
cool and dry May, has greatly retarded
the growth and encouraged the attack
of cut-worms. The yield of oats will
be about 88 per cent, of an average.
This falling off is due almost entirely
to the fact that spring sown oats have
been caught by the May drought.
There being no rust of consequence the
yield of wheat will be 93 per cent, of
the average. The quality is excellent,
being almost freo from rust. The
stand of cotton is 94 per cent, of an av
erage, and the condition is 94. The
plant is backward and smaller than
usual. The general prospect, while
not very encouraging, is by no means
gloomy.
A Runaway Marriage.
LaGrange, Ga., June 6. —This city
has always been the centre of female
education in the South. Even during
the war its students from all sections
numbered hundreds, and its commence
ments were affairs of fashion. For
some time Miss Alice Watson, the
daughter of a wealthy citizen of Hous
ton, Texas, has been an inmate of the
college, where she attracted the atten
tion of Mr. R. P. Abrams, son of the
bank president here. The college au
thorities twice frustrated his visits, but
yesterday at 12 he succeeded in getting
the young lady out, and in a waiting
carriage set out for Greenville. When
the lady’s absence was discovered
horsemen were put in pursuit, but the
couple were far enough ahead to get
married. When the pursuers arrived
they were invited to refreshments by
the young couple: The affair has cre
ated a ripple of excitement among the
school girls.
Backache, stitches in the side, in
flation and soreness of the bowels, are
symptoms of a disordered state of the

which can be promptly and thorough

as aids to digestion, they have no
equal. They cure constipation.

HALL’S
Vegetable Sicilian
HAIR RENEWER
was tho first preparation perfectly adapted to
cure diseases of the scalp, and the first suc
cessful restorer of faded or gray hair to its
natural color, growth, and youthful beauty.
It has had many imitators, but none have so
fully met all tbc requirements needful for
the proper treatment of tho hair and scalp.
Hall’s Hair Rexewer has steadily grown
in favor, and spread its fame and usefulness
to every quarter of the globe. Its unparal
leled success can be attributed to but ono
cause: the entire f ulfilment of its promises.
The proprietors have often been surprised
at tbc receipt of orders from remote coun
tries, where they had never made an effort for
its introduction.
The uso for a short time of Hall’s Hair
Kenewer wonderfully improves the per
sonal appearance. It cleanses the scalp from
all impurities, cures all humors, fever, and
dryness, and thus prevents baldness. It
stimulates the weakened glands, and enables
them to push forward anew and vigorous
growth. The effects of this article are not
transient, like those of alcoholic prepara
tions, but remain a long time, which makes
its use a matter of economy.
