The Oldest Magazine in America.
Although nearly every one knows Of
Godey's Lady's Book, it is not generally
known that it is the oldest monthly publca-
ton in America. Established in 1880, it has
outlived all other magazines, and might with
propriety be called the mother of magazines
in this country. Gray-haired men and wo-
men remember it AS an entertainer when their
hearts were young, and young people as
sociate it with their first introduction to
stories of romance. And the rising genera
ton find it as pure and interesting as did its
parents, az, as its grandparents did in days
of "Auld Lang Syne." 1t is m old and
well remembered landmark in our American
literature, and we doubt not that many Of
our readers will recall with it pleasant memo
ries of other days. The young editor and
proprietor, who now publishes it, has evil
IDENTIFY determined that all who seek to renew
their acquaintance with the old favorite shall
not be disappointed. As viewed mechanical
y, it is excelled by none, while its corps of
literary contributors includes many of the
best known names Of magazine writer's. 1t
certainly speaks we'll for it and our people,
that, Notwithstanding the enormous efforts
made by the publishers of the numerous
''penny dreadfuls," it finds such large
patronage, not only in America, but all over
the world. Although its low subscription
price (S2. a year) may somewhat influence
its large circulation, We are inclined to ascribe
its popularity to intrinsic merit, and we most
cordially bid the old book God-speed on its
second half-century

is visiting relatives in Camden.
At hearing before Trial Justice J.
w. DePass last week, Mr. j. R.
Arrants was adjud ged lunatic, and he
has been sent TO the Lunatic Asylum
in Columbia For some past Mr..
Arrauts has been considerd little
cranky but his freaks we're of an in
nocent nature, and nothing serious was
thought of them. However, instead of
getting better his actions appeared to be
getting more aggressive and it was
thought best to send him to the asylum.
We are pleased to see that the new
Board Of Couucilmen are continuing the
improvement begun by the former
Boards. All of the principal streets
have been placed in splendid order for
driving upon, aud now the outer ones
are receiving attention. The Board
have also had nice seats erected upon
the different public squares, so that
during the coming hot Summer days
the weary wanderer may rest in ease
and comfort under the shade of the

of Kentucky requires that such insults
can only be wiped out by blood ; and
as Judge Reid disapprovea Of such a
barbarous mode of adjusting differences,
he was boycotted by his friends and
neighbors to suchan extent as drove him
to suicide He preferred killing him
self to his opponent, and so died vic
tim to a false, vicious and depraved
public sentiment which places the
physical prowess, that distinguishes a
bull dog or Sullivan, at the head of all
the virtues which should grace man-
kind. Alas for our boasted civilization
when public official is driven TO his
death to avoid the jibes and sneers of
those, who fly in the face of God who
says Thou shalt not murder

Washington Street Sunday School
RESOLUTIONS OF THANKS.

The following preamble aud resolu-
tions of thanks were unanimously
adopted at the meeting Of the Washing
ton Street Methodist Sunday school
of Columbia, on Sunday afternoon, 18th
instant:
Whereas, on the occasion of our re-
cent picnic, the members of Washing
ton Street Sunday School and their
guests were the recipients of marked
courtesies and hospitality from the citi-
zens Of the beautiful town of Sumter,
who thereby contributed largely to our
enjoyment on that occasion therefore,
be it.
Resolved. That cur grateful ac-
acknowledgements are hereby rendered to
Hon. Marion Noise, Intendant, and the
citizens Of Sumter generally, for the
earnest welcome so gracefully rendered
on our arrival, aud for their assiduous
hospitality and attentions throughout
the day.
Resolved That to Dr.. D. J. Auld,
Rev. H. +. Chreitzberg. Messrs. Trade
we'll, Graham, Smith, Epperson. Jcr-
vey, and others who SO generously as
sumed the labor aud expense Of pre-
pairing the grounds and providing vehi-
cles for our use, and in every way
ministered to our comfort and pleasure
during the day. our warmest acknowl-
edgments are hereby gratefully record
ed.
Resolved. That our visit to Sumter,
and association with its generous and
hospitable people, will ever be cherish
ed in our memories. as one of the most
pleasant occasions in the history Of our
school.
Resolved. That our thanks are here
by expressed to Conduct'r Wooton, for
the gentlemanly, courtesy, care and
skill with which he discharged the one
rous aud responsible duties of the occa-
sion.
Resolved That the Secretary of the
Sunday School be instructed to COM
municatc c"py of these resolutions to
T. 4. Tradcwell, Esq, Superintendent
of the Methodist Sunday School of Sum
ter with the request that they be pub
lished in the newspapers Of Sumter.

of their own accord or come at once.
but they will come in time to those who
do their part. There are families to-
day scattered over the County, whose
table each day is covered with viands fit
for prince. at an outlay so small that
it would barely procure the corn bread
aud bacon with which so many people
strive to satisfy their appetite but
those families raise their own provi-
sions, and in that fact consists true
economy. We offer these suggestions
with an exceedingly timld spirit, for
we feel deeply the importance of ourselt
taking the advice given to others. But
we know it is matter upon which
many of our readers can proftably pom
der, and perhaps act.

CLUB MEETINGS.

The clubs that have not already met
and elected delegates to the County
Convention, will do so next Saturday.
These club meetings should be wei.
attended by the voters. Even if all are
of one mind, full attendance is neces-
sary to keep down the cry Of rings"
and .scliques.' p Let every member at
tend, cast his vote for worthy men as
delegates and then sustain. their action
in the Convention.
We wish most fervently that elections
werefou years apartinstead Of two, as at
present and that the people we're spared
the necessity of spending so much time
and energy on political questions 5; but
eternal vigilance is the price Of liberty.
and if we expect to enjoy the luxury Of
good officials and wise laws, we must
expect to pay for them in some way.
The good things of this life never
come of their own accord. Whatever
is worth having, is worth working
for, and surely good govern ment is
worth an effort.
It is useless for the people to sit With
folded hands and say they will have
nothing to do with politics, because the
matter is taken out Of their bands, aud
is run in the interest of ring. If the
Democrats will attend their Club meet
ings, and vote for wise, prudent men
and measures, We would hear less of
clioues and more of Democratic har-
mony.
It is every mans duty, not only to
vote but to use his Influence, for suita-
BILE candidates it is equally his duty
to oppose unsuitable ones. The filling
of public Office is trust imposed upon
the people, and they are recreant to
that trust, and unworthy Of being call
ed freemen if, by their supine indifer-
encc bad men get control of the offices.
This question is of sufficient importance
to afford food for thought to all iptelll-
gent voters, and We will say in conclu-
sion, that com bination of the best clc-
ment Of the voters Of Sumter County
can elect any ticket they choose to
nominate.

Democratic Harmony.

Mr.. Editor: noticed an article in your
issue Of the 9th inst, from Col. Dargan, ad-
vocating harmony in the Democratic party Of
Sumter County-';that there are disintegra-
ting elements at work within the party"
Good Democrats who are dissatisfied, and
talk about "Riugs, Cliques, Combinations,
Packed Conventions" &C., and calls upon
the manhood and intelligence of the County
to put stop to ''srch tricks in political
trade"
"voter," in your issue Of the 18th, speaks
with voice that doubtless echoes the senti-
men,s of hundreds Of the good people Of our
County. While the Stateburg Democratic
Club has had "a sufficient dose of Conven-
ton" such as the last was.
1t is lamentahle (whether founded on facts
or not) that such state of affairs exist.
Should not every good Democrat, whether in
or ont of office, stop and consider the good Of
the party, and let personal interest and ag-
grandizement, at least for the present, alone? !?
While rejecting on these matters, and trying
to conceive of some means by which bar-
mony could be restored, and which at this
time is so desirable, and candidates selected
that would represent the choice of the people,
the following rather novel plan suggested
itself to me, which will state. Ifyou think
it worthy of publication, do so; if not,
throw it in your waste basket:
Let convention be called as usual, each
Club, however, see that they send only such
men as will have the intelligence and moral
courage 10 act for themselves, and owe no al
legience to any Ring, Clique, man or set of
men and vote for any man in Sumter County
that he might wish to fill any particular
Office. For instance suppose the Convention
wished to nominate candidate for Sen
ator. Without any candidate being an
nounced let each member cast his vote for
any man in The County that he wonld desire
to fill that Office. The gentleman getting the
highest nur,ber Of votes be declared the can
didatc. And for representatives the same.
Let each member Of the Convention cast his
vote for any four men in the County that he
would like to represent him. The four get
ting the highest number of votes be declared
the candidates. And so on for Sheriff, Clerk
Of Court, &C., &c. If any who receive the
nomination refuse to serve, let the next high
est take his place. Or if preferred let the two
receiving the highest number Of votes for
Senator he declared the candidates, and the
Convention make choice Of the two; and the
eight highest for Representative, be declared
candidates, and the Convention make choice
of four, &c
The Convention being supposed to be COM
posed of our best citizens and our best citi-
zens voting in their judgment for the hest
men, will surely give satisfaction, and reflect
the will of the people. What say you, Mr..
Editor? IGNOTCS.
