Jim McGregor, n drummer of
Macon fame, was in town jester-
day, and it is said one young
lady’s heart palpitated very per
ceptibly. Madame Rumor has it
that the wedding is set for Decern'
ber.
Russ Slsppy, who lives at Plains
of Dura, has been having a hard
lime of it. For several weeks lie
and wife and all the children have
been down with the fever. This
week one o’the children died. The
family has bten moved to the
Springs, where it is hoped they
-will recover.
“Yes," said the tramp, “there is
marked difference between the
pent up city life and the restful
rusticating and dreary quiet of
the country. But winter is com
ing. At the last place where I
called I saw the farmer sharpening
tbe wood axe, in a thoughtful
mood, and tbo cook eyed me with
a leer that boded no goodand
then as he shifted bis seat to a
softer spot on the lounging bench
there camo a reminiscent look into
Itis eyes, and ns we moved ofl we
caught tbe mellow refrain of that

Mr. M. Hancock,of TUoxasville,
has on exhibition in this city a
plow stock which lor convenience,
durability and excellence surpasses
anything yet invented. It can be
used as a breaking plow, as a cul
tivalor, for siding corn or cotton,
or opening and covering. By a
imple and novel arrangement it
can be used with one, two or three
shovels, ami they in turn can lie
placed In any position desired.
All except the handles being made
of wrought iron, they arc strong,
light and durable, not easily got
out of order, and can be regulated
to plow any depth. It is Bafd to
say that double tb > work can be
done with them than any other
plow now on tbo market. The
double plow is well adapted for
putting in grain, putting it in as
ilb a drill. It can also be used
ir breaking light ground or strad
tiling a row of corn. In point of
price Iliis plow slock is the cheap
est implement yet offered to the
farmer, as it can be used to serve
every purpose on a farm. We ad
vise every farmer to examine these
plows, feeling assured that it will
be to their advantage to do so.
Some of them have been used by
some of the best farmers in this
section, and they universally praise
them. During tbe abort time Mr.
Hancock has been here he has dis
posed of a number of farm rights
our best farmers. We should
glad to see tome one purchase
the right for Sumter and adjoining
counties, as it cannot fail to prove
profliable investment, ns they at
sight commend themselves lo every
practical farmer. In bia way Mr.
Hancock has proved himsoif a pub-
benefactor, as be has placed at
the disposal of evorv farmer an
implement that must reduce the
c ist of farming, at the sane time
seeming better work. Mr. Han
cock will remain in the city but a
few days lunger, and we would
advt«e every farmer and meclunle
to examlns bit plow*.
According lo appointment, Hon.
C. F. Crisp, candidate for congress
for this district, and Hon. R. M.
Hodge, candidate for elector from
this district,addressed a large au
dience at tbe court house Wednes
day noon.
Judge Crisp's appearance was
greeted with applause, lie made
a short explanatory address and
ttieu commenced his speech. For
a quarter of su huur lie held the
reputdican party in a terrible ar
raignment, contrasting the diller-
enu-6 between the administration of
the present time and that of thirty
years ago. He then utlaekeil the
t mil question, aud upened the eyes
of many of his hearers by his dis
closures ol the real Uuths
of protection aud tree trade.
He illustrated his remarks by
showing the cost of mak
ing c mmun wearing apparel,
and at the price at which it is sold,
being protected in its high price
hy the tariff duty, which prevents
competition. He explained that
the democratic party was not in
favor ot direct taxation, which he
staled meant taxation by pulls in
stead oi ad valorem. The Judge
then touched upon “the man trum
Washington," who puts in his up
pearauee in this district every lour
years, trying lo get elected to con
gress. He asked the colored voters
present who cared lor them during
the four years their famous politi
cal friend was in Washington? Who
erected aud kept their public
schools in order? Who carid for
them when they were sick? Who
went on their note when they want
ed money from the banks? “In nil
these things," he said, ‘-the demo
crats are yonr lriends, and tile
republicans care naught lor you
except to use you as vassals and
vote you like they would drive
sheep." He closed his speech with
a stirring appeal for every demo
crat to cornu out on election day
and cast bis ballot. For twelve
years this district has been repre
sented by a democrat, and now
when the prospect looked so liri ht
for national success, it would not
do lor tue “Old Third”to ho ncgli
g nit in her duty. He then intro
duced
COL. It. M. HODGE,
Elector for this district. Not a
word had been heard of the elec
tion the day before hy those in the
audience. Col. Hodge had come
in on the train while Judge Crisp
was speaking. As he tvns intro-
dues! he bowed and said :
“The latest advices from West
Virginia show that that grand old
State has gone Democratic by
S,000 majority."
The applause whieli greeted tills
statement was deafening. The
speaker then gave the news (rom
Ohio, stating how the Republican
victory, if such it could tic termed,
was accomplished liy the aid of
money, c irruptionisls, ami every
device known to shrewd politicians
in power. Col. IJudge made an
eloquent argument for the short
time lie was speaking, and made a
very favorable impression upon
t'lo. e who heard him. lie lias u
strong voice, and uses exe (lent
language, which, coupled with the
emphatic manner of his address,
makes him a very forcible speaker.
Tbe speeches aroused a great
deal ot enthusiasm, and will go a
long way to arouse the Democrats
in this county from their lethargy.
It is quite evident tbe Republicans
arc making a strong effort for their
man, and tbe Democrats should
look wcli to their laurels.
A Bad Runaway*
While tbe employees of the Bargain
Store were enjoying the rain last Friday,
two eonntty men walked in ihe .tore,
inspected and priced some clothing.
The prices bting so astonishingly low,
they paid for them without having them
