The Towri ?ouncil of Sumter. Gentlemen ; Is it right, fair or just, to grant a license toa tramp, to hawk his wares and mer chandjze, 'through the streets of the town and to interfere with the trade ofthe legitimate and established Merchant, who pars his regular quarterly tax on sales, pays store rent and bears his full proportion of the bardens for the sup? port and development of the corporation ? Is it not especially unfair to grant such license to such vendor, on sale-day, or other public occasion, the only times when the regular dealer can hope to make up for some of the trade lost during the intervening dull busi? ness periods? Is it not the duty of our City? Fathers to shield the regular Merchant against the intrusion of the peripatetic trader, whose practice is, to cry bis wares through the streets, palm off bis Cheap-John, galvanized trash upon the public, and then, vamose with large sums of money, which uever afterwards find their way back into local circulation, but are forever lost to the community ? Is it j not likewise, the duty of Council, to require theTow u Clerk to assess a Tax upon schooj teachers and other persons, who order books and other merchandize, and furnish the same at a profit to pupils and other persons, and to coUect such tax as from orber dealers ? Is it fair.to aUow each teachers to contribute noth? ing to the. revenue of the. town ;when the j regular merchant, who* haS'1fn^e3?a%??s1i?d placeof business, pays bis rent and bears hts proportion Of alf public burdens, is always^ promptly assessed for taxes, at the end of every quarter ?

[For the Watchman and Southron.] SUMTER, S. C., March 16, 1883. Mr. Editor: Will you kindly permit a render to say th rough the cofumns of your paper, a few words to the temperance .people io and around Sumter. On January 1st, a law, vulgarly called the dry law, went into effect in this, and I believe in other places in the county, and was looked upon by a major? ity as a move io the right direction. For promoting peace and quiet; its beneficial effects were soon visible; the streets were more quiet and the lockup was emptied, or almost so. by its influence. But not long ago, I. noticed on the streets of Sumter, seve? ral colored men very rauch ander" the influ? ence of liquor, whether whiskey, wine or j beer I cannot say, bot whatever it was, it was procured, that day in Sumter. If it was ibe effects of beek-tbat was. vi si We, and if the no-1 ?cense law does not prohibit its sale, I hope the lovers of the temperance cause, who fought so nobly against whiskey, will again buckie on their armor and wage war against this first step towards the drunk? ard's grave and never cease till all intoxi? cants are banished from their pleasant town. Should this come under the notice of the persoo or persons who sold the intoxicant to those before meutioned, I ask them to turn to Habakkuk, second chapter and fifteenth verse, where they will read their condemnation. ..
