Official Organ of SumterJDounty Official Organ of Schley County. Official Organ of Lee County. Official Organ of Webster County. President Julius fl. Seelye is to dis cuss “Dynamite as a Factor in Civil ization,” in the July number of the North American Review. The peas that have been recently planted are looking finely. Our far mers should plant a large crop of peas this year to help fill the falling off in the oat crop. Now is the time to plant while we are having such fine seasons. A Savannah court has commenced a rough movement against umbrella ap propriate™. In its city court, on Mon day last, Judge Hardon sentenced Richard Berrien to six months on the chain gang for stealing an umbrella from Charles Bell. 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 lishers when the old Testament revis ion is completed. The truth is patent 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 odist Episcopal Church South have appointed the week of prayer for Au gust 12-19, recommending its obser vance by the whole Church, with suit able religious services, and that special 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, J. A. Anbley & Cos. Do not allow worms to cheat your children out of their living. Shriner’s Indian Vermifuge will destroy these miserable pests, and give the little fellows new armors for the battle of life. 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 digestive and assimilative organs, which can be promptly and thorough ly corrected by the use of Ayer’s Cathartic Pills.

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.
