The Watchman and Southron cow has the couibiued circulation aud influence of both of the old papers, and is manifestly thc best advertising medium in Sumter. THE LEGISLATURE. Our General Assembly meets to-day. lt seems to be almost entirely a new body, the majority of old m embers hav? ing been superseded by others, among whom are an unusual number of young men. The following gentlemen have been mentioned iu connection with the Speakership of the Rouse: Col. James Simons, Jr., of Charleston, Col. George Johnstone, of Newberry, Maj. W. H. Parker, of Abbeville. Maj. E. B. Mur ray, of Anderson, Knox. Livingston. Esq., of Marlboro, and Hon. G W. Croft, of Aiken. It is the apparent desire on all sides tbat the session should be made as short as possible and at this time there seems to be no reason for a protracted sitting. Mott of the questions which have been agitated for the past few years have been settled and unless unforeseen dimculties arise there will be plain sailing and a satis? factory disposal of the business before it. Thc two leading questions which will ?come before the present Legislature are the Fence Law and the Regulation of Railroads. With reference to these j measures the Charleston News and j Courier makes the followiug comments j which we emphatically endorse : We think that the Legislature ! should, calmly and carefully, consider j say-memorials that may be presented] on the subject of the No-Fsnce law, with a view of amending the la w so as to save particular communities from un- j necessary loss, if this can be done with? out injury to the State at large. Jef fcrsou, in his famous inaugural, uttered this weighty truth : 'All will do well j to bear in mind this sacred principle j that, though the will of the majority is in.all cases to prevail, that will to be rightful must be reasonable ; that tho minority possess their equal rights ; which equal laws muet protect and to j violate would be oppression." The Legislature must seek the greatest good of the greatest number of people in the State, but the Legislature is equally \ bound to have an eye to the interest j aud wishes of the minority, Thc j rights of the minority must be protect? ed, for to violate those rights is op? pression of thc worst kind. The burning question in the State, at this time, is the regulation of the railroads, so as to prevent, as far as the authorities of the Stale can, discrimi? nation in freights to the prejudice of the people of the State. It is a per? plexing question, of course, but the i Legislature will have before it the Georgia Statutes on the subject, and j cao safely follow that line of legislation, ''? with such amendments and changes as j experience in Georgia has shown to be j advisable. The appointment of a Kail- j road Commission will infallibly be ben- ? eficial, if the right sort of Commission- j ers be chosen. Purely as an expcrl- j meut it is well worth trying, for if a j remedy cannot be fouud by means of a j Railroad Commission it will have to be found some other way. Prof. Sheppard on Higher Educa* j titos. At a recent meeting or a large number j of prominent citizens of Charleston who are | interested ia ibe cause of education, Prof. ? Chas. C. Shepard, whose valuable experience . and success as superintendent of public in- j atroctioo in Baltimore for many years en ti- j tied bim to speak with authority upon edu-! cational matters, advanced the following ! views : I "There must be a unity of government to j secure a harmonious working of the whole j system. Experience had taught him, as it j bad snows others engaged in educational pursuit*, that the greatest stimulus to the j public schools came from thc higher institu? tions offcamiog. They obtained the great? est excellence from thc inspiration which de- j scended upon them from the higher schools, j It would be seen at once therefore that well i regelated High Schools were necessary ad /tracts to the public school system, and from ; such schools were reflected down great in? fluence for good upon the lower schools, fie commented upon the danger of miring up the school system with politics, or pteiuer language the making of the school system a lever to carry out the set??:. aims of ..oliti eians or the individual aims of ambitious per? sons seeking political preferment. He trusted that the legislation touching the school sylera would be such as to counteract and check a&y snch pernicious influence. He had known iustaness in the city of Baltimore where the efficiency of schools ha ! been com? pletely crippled because there was not moral courage enough to res'ut the greed and last of certain politicians who sought to carry out their selfish schemes at the expense of the schools. The next suggestion offered was that the studies in the public s-hooU should terminate precisely wh*-re the studies ir. the high school begin. This course was observed SD all the cities where th* oest results had been obtained. The High S' liool would then take the pupil up to the collegiate ranks with his knowledge well grounded from the very bottom. t:So far as possible, he said, there should be provision made for the thoroogb training and education of teachers, that they might be fitted for a profession, and not entertain the idea that teaching was a mere resort in time ?f necessity. Normal institution.s or training schools for teachers, he said, could be very successfully organized and operated here from the fact that they were comparatively aew, and those having them in charge would bave the experience of others to guide then*." The Recorder says : Quite a number of Northern visitors are arriving, aDd nearly every house for rent in ?liken has been engaged for the season. The indications are that the number of visit? ors will be unusually large during the winter. ? THE LABOE PEOBLEM. A correspondeDt of the Baltimore Day, in a recent article from which we quote, throws a flood of light upon a political factor which is destined to effect considerable results io the near future of our government. Already iu j ike West and North-east the power of what is known as the "Labor Party" has beeu felt, and was ao i a considerable agent iu the cause which determiued the results of the late elec I tions iu many poni?os of the country. This ' party was born of the necessity for mutual protection on the part of laboring men and J tts object is to wage an unceasing warfare against monopolies and combinations antago? nistic to public welfare. Disgusted with the deceptive declaration of the Republican party relating to workingmen, while favoring at i tbe same time the development of syndicates | and protecting the iu tere: ts of monopolies, j initiated by the operations of moneyed kings in speculations in the necessaries of life, they have inaugurated a general revolt against that kind of oppression, and, by whatever diverse names these organizations may be called, they have a common sentiment which binds them to a common purpose. Its power is none the less real because of its gradual and unobtrusive demonstrations, and it is well for tbe Democratic party to recognize the movement and prepare to meet it, to show io the future as it has iu the past the friendli? ness of its pnuciples to the interests of the j masses aud prove its willingness, to dispense ! justice to all classes and conditions of tneu. ? The labotiog classes are gradually begin j uing to see that tbe correction of evil legisla- j j lion Hes entirely within their bauds. Look j I at the Republican party. It has scarcely a j j representative in Congress from an Eastern j State who is not the paid attorney ot some ?1 moneyed corporation, if, indeed, he be not j directly interested as a partner. What do these people care for the masses ? They have , no more sympathy with them than if they be- j1 longed toa separate order of beings. The 1 masses are slowly awakening to this fact, 1 and once they are fully aroused-once they ' understand that the casting of their vote for a mau who will truly represent their interests . will be far better for them in the end than 1 any amount that can be paid for their vote- 1 you will see a modi6cation of our tariff laws, ' and a very decided change in the taxing of in? ternal products. Let me give you a piece of . information. Are you aware of the fact that j . there have been no strikes of any magnitude j 1 in this country for eight mouths past? You j ' don't know the reason? Weil, I'll tell you. j Early last Snmmer Senator Morgan, of Ala- j ' bama, introduced a resolution into the Senate j 1 inquiritsg into the causes of the strikes which j ( had been agitating toe country from East to West for a year previous. The matter was j ! referred to the Committee on Labor and Edu- j cation. During the recess of Congress that committee has been collecting data upon j 1 which to base their report. If Congress ?hall j ( take some action tending to ameliorate the ' ^ I i workingman's condition all will be well. If I not, you will see the biggest strikes next J ^ Spring ever known in the history of this gov- | . ernmeut." | ! "But will they not fail as they usually do ?" j "No. The labor organizations of the coun- j \ try are fully perfected and cemented together i in one common cause. They tia ve been gra?ln- I ( ally preparing a fund which will support tbem J j all for tn a nv weeks when the trouble comes. ? There will be no hasty action, no coercive | ; means. They will move slowly in the mat- ' ' ter and with groat deliberation. The control ] j of their affairs is in wise hands-not those of j blatant demagogues of the Denis Kearney j ( stamp. They will ask fur justice, nothing J j more. They will get it, too, my word for it ?" I All the more significance attaches to these!, remarks when it is known that the author is [ * not a mechanic buta professional mac. What j ( connection he may have with trades unions, j ^ I canuotsay. ile assumes to speak by the I ^ card, and he is decidedly a man of too much I character to wautouly trifle with so serious a ^ subject. Later on I met Gabriel Kennedy, j Pr?sidant yf the Carpenters' Union, and re lated to him what is printed above. j "Your friend is right," said he: "our! people care little for politics. We are ready, j ' almost to a man, to vote for any one who i . will honestly represent us in Congress. This j feeling will eventually result iu an anti | monopoly ' party ; not at present-I don't I think thc labor class are fully educated up to ( it yet-bnt in the uear future. When the time does come there will be such a scattering i of the dry bones as will d warf the political upheaval of last week.' ' - Mr. Kennedy says the Carpenters* Union is a distinct organ iza tico from lhe Knights of Labor. It-has only been in existence eighteen months, but is growing with healthful rapid? ity. Its membership embraces tne better class o: workmen, and when fully perfected it will be the strongest trades union in Ame? rica. Mr. Kennedy estimates their namerical j strength iu 1880 at not less thau 700,000. j Local Option Prohibition. The following is an extract from the Act to j provide a local option law for the incorporated j cities, towns, and villages of this State, ap? proved February 9th, 1882 : SEC 5. That whenever the majority of the electors of any such incorporated city, town, or village shall vote in favor of "no liceuse," it shall be unlawful for auy druggist therein to sell, during the lime wheo no license for i the sale of spirituous liquors are granted, any spirituous or intoxicating liquors, bit- i ? ters. or fruits prepared with such liquors, ! ; except upon the certificate of a regular prac- j I tising physician in actual attendance upon a j ; patient, su<-h certificate to conuiu the name of i j the patient, and shall tie filed by the druggist ! filling the same, and kept for the periud of j one year subject to inspection at any time the i Council of such city, town, or village may ! direct. SEC. 6. It shall be unlawful for Ruy phys?- ! ! c?an t*, give a prescription for any such II- j ! qnors, except when actually in Lona flt at- { j tendance upon a patient. j SEC. 7. That any person violating Sections i i 5 or 6 of this Act shall, upon conviction, be j ! fined in a sum of nut less than two bundled j j dollars, or imprisoned for not less than three i j mouths, or both fined and imprisoned, in the j discretion of the Court. ----- --~?B^^-_ ?

N ] COMMUNICATIONS. [For the Watchman and Southron.] LIQUOR. SUMTER, S. C., Nov. 14, 1882. To We. the undersigned Liquor Dealers of the Towu of Sumter, iu view of the election to be held io this Town on the 5th of December, at which election it is to be decided whether License or No License shall be grunted, and feeling that you are equally interested with us in the decision of this matter, would re? spectfully solicit such material and immedi? ate aid as will assist us in carrying the election to our mutual benefit. Our fight will be a close one, and we have a short time to work in, so please answer at once, Aud oblige. E. P. KICKER & CO., MYLES MORAN, G KO F. EPPERSON, JOSEPH McG?INNIS, D. ROSENDORF, SMITH & ALLISON, M. F. HEWSON, Z. E. WALKER, P. J. O'DONNELL. To the Citizens of Sumter : The above circular explains itself. It has been forwarded to Wholesale Liquor Dealers who furnish supplies for Sumter-?&* "and feeling that you are equally vni-rcstec! with ut io the declinion of thu matter1'-and-''assist us io carrying the election to our mutual benefit" -such phraseology is clear and explicit. Mind yoUj.it is not for the benefit of the town, nor the poor inebriate and his suffering family ; but, citizens, it is for the "mutual benefit" of whiskey dealers. Of course wholesale establishments are "interested" ind "benefit ted" as well as the retail grog ihops. "Aid"-"material and immediate aid." Money to buy a poor negro's vote-to. con? strain him to vote against virtue, respectabil? ity, peace, and every dear aud holy interest >f himself and society ; to suborn men through ignorance to vile prostitution and its legion of foaming, frantic, drivelling devils. More yet, two of the signatures to the cir ;ular are Wardens of the Town, who are os? tensibly to preserve the public welfare and morals of the community. How does it ap? pear now 1 Some, who have signed, have publicly af irmed that they wished the license system would be abolished-that it was a mean bus? ness and they desired to get out of it. The :ircular looks like it, don't it? "Our fight will bea close one." Will it? 5b the Whiskey Dealers say over their signa turcs appealing for money. Is it money nr; ated? or what? Openly on the streets of Sumter they say, aud declare emphatically that they will wiu by some 80 mujority. i'et in their caucuses tiscue ballots for {No License," then contest, election by charging the "No License" party with fraud. It is jpenly threatened that they will use barrels >f whiskey and hundreds of dollars-one :>romising to sink $200, and a barrel of ? his ?ey for license, and he a colored dealer. How freely some men can spend money wheo t does not come out of their pockets ! "And vre hare a ?hort time to tcork in, so .jleaae ansicer at once." I would like to ask if this was the reason for putting the election )ff uutit th? 5th of December? The law says "ou or about the 1st of December" the ques? tion shall be submitted, tc. But as much time is coula possibly be taken, was tc be giveu :o work against the good, law-abiding, tax? paying, and peace upholding citizens of Sum? ter who would have the whiskey dens remov? ed from the sight aud smell of their dear joys, and noble young men-young men as ?onorable, noble, and refiued as any commu? nity can afford, and whose only shame is, jonie of them are facing the down grade of rum. M-'.y the (?od of Providence help us in )ur efforts to save them, aud overthrow the o? designs of Satin as he works through zitn for their downfall und ruin. Lastly : It would seem to be euough to nave the names of Wardeus to that circular ; tmt, fellow citizens-behold the last name 1 I forbear. We will not go and with unholy iiands remove the earth from his grave and parade his signature iu the defence of such a :ause. He did not sign that paper. But it is tlc Whiskey Cause, and what will uot the mea engaged in *uch a horrid trafile do to force its evils on a community, so they get the "blood mouey" it throws into their tills ! Query : If the Liquor Dealern du not scruple lo use the name and influence of one now dead, for mouey, will they hesitate, wften money is the ohjeel, to sink many of our dear living oues iuto their dishonored graves? Ah 1 I hare heard pleas, and read petitions, for money to build churches, school houses, homes for the destitute, hospitals for sick und infirm, to relieve cities, towns, communities scourged by fevers, famine, plague and death; but this is the first I have ever read suiog so touchingly for "immediate" and "material aid" to pile curses, and force streams of fire, woe, and death upon a coromuuity striving to rid itself, and its defenceless women and children, from the withering touch of rum. Towu ordinances may clear the streets and protect the bar-room from its victims-but do they restrain the drunkard iu his suffering family? Do they give them bread and clothes? Do they soothe the bleeding heart of fond mothers beading uuder their boys dis? grace ? No ? What a picture? Begging money io aid iu making druukards, and tra; n i og buys to fill the places of the victiras-ns they go dowu-to as? sist in supplying the town treasury by fines and penalties from inebriates-to make tbe County bear the expenses of post mortem ex? aminations, Corone:*? inquests, and funerals of friendless and poverty stricket? drunkards. Mu ut-y tur these und a thotisuud laure unjust and cruel demands. Ifuueof the meu who pul his name tu that paper eau blush, how is the time for him to try and exercise the long forgotten art. These meu had not the remotest idea, nor was ii. their desire, that this circular should fall i::to our hnuds. I publish it for the in? formation of voters, and our community. Behold what is being done to enslave us an? other yea-, ?nd subject us tu the terrible re? sults of the intoxicating, infuriating, reason dethroning, Gospel trammeling, domestic blasting, murderous impelling, jail filling, gallows supplyiug, grave crowding, soul damning drink, 'the invisible spirit?' of which even obi Shakspeare calls "DEVILS!" CITIZEN. LICENSE Off NO LICENSE. Mr. Editor: I know th:s communication will be a surprise to many of my friends, but I think the time has come for every mau to decide on which side of this question he will stand. Nut very h-ng ago ? was in a bar-room in the town and saw a .uan drink himself drunk He WHS too far guue lo know what he was doing, and no doubt ?aid and did what he would not have done while sober. He WHS put out of the pince by the man who had taken his money for the vile stuff, and worse than all, the bar-keeper appeared as a witness against him before the Town Council. Now. sir, where is the justice in this thing? The Council issued a license to a man to sell liquor; the bar-keeper uses every means in his power to induce a felluw to drink his liquor, and ?lier getting all the money he can out of him, appears as a witness against biro before Council, and that august body proceeds to impose a heavy Cue upon him. I think, sir, the man who furnished the liquor should pan? tile fine-should be made to suffer. If ii was reponed that a mad dog was in town, the Town Authorities would order the owuer to keep it chained or have it killed forthwith, and this would he right; but would not this manifest care fu;- the safety of our citizens be a mighty argument for still further protection? There is little use straining at a gnat and swallowing a camel. Let every dangerous dog be killed. Every bar-keeper in town keeps a dog that, not only bites, but the bite of their dog kills. We could {easily name a score of our citizens, white and colored, who have died from the bije of the dog Alcohol, and many others who have been bitten and will die-and the worse feature in the case is that the persons bitten are the very last to learn their danger. The great trouble is that the owner of this dog pays $10 per month for the privilege of letting the dog bite us. Not only is this so, but many of our citi? zens sign a petition to Council to allow the dog to run at lnrge, and then they have the hypocrisy to say they are sorry when a man dies from the bite. Morey is a great power for evil, and if any body wants to turn this mad dog loose on onr streets, all they have to do is to pay $10 a month into the city tre-sury, and the dog eau be turned loose, and will be protected. Now let all good people turn out on Decem? ber 5th and g?t rid of all these dogs-strong drink af every kind-by voting for "No License!" Respectfully, A. J. DAVIS. No man knows what a ministering angel his wife is until he come9 home one day, suffering with a dreadful Cold and she hap? pens to have a bottle of Dr. Bull's Cough Syrup in the house. The Height of Folly. To wait until you are in bed with disease you may not get over for months, is the height of folly, when you might be easily cured during the early symptoms by Parker's Ginger Tonic.

Ten Reasons why the "KNOCKABOUT" is the best Suit now in the market for Boys7 wear. I.-Because the "KNOCKABOUTS" Are made from double ?Yarp and double-and-twist, uotearablc and wear-resisting fabrics. II.-Because the "KNOCKABOUTS" are trimmed in the most substantial manner, none but indestructible materials in thread, linings, battons, kc, being used in their manufacture. H.t.-Because the "KNOCKABOUT'' Pants are made with cir Patented "Cavalry Knee," thereby insuring the greatest durability. IV.-Because the "KNOCKABOUT" fabric being a liglit color is not objectionable, as many suppose, for it is in reality a neutral shade which will nut soil easily, and will not show the dust. V.-Because the "KNOCKABOUT" as its name implies, is a neat, serviceable outfit, and is well calculated to stand any amount ot rough usage. VI.-Because the "KNOCKABOUT" is produced solely to supply a want of an honest wearing, substantially made BOY'S SUi?at the low price of $5.00. VII.-Because the "KNOCKABOUT" has proved an inestimable blessing to every Father who has to buy, and every Mother who has to mend, the clothing of the irrepressible boy of the period. VIII-Because of the above given reasons the "KNOCKABOUT" Suits commend themselves to liie taste, judgment and pocket of those to whom the amount of money expended during the year for Boys' Clothing is no inconsiderable item. IX.-Because, since '-nothing succeeds like success," the great success of the "KNOCKA? BOUT" thus far proves it to be just the Suit that was needed for Boys' wear. X.--Because knock-about a9 much as you will, nothing will be found to kuock thc "KNOCKABOUT" Suit that is manufactured for S s. O o.
