There is greater reason now for a small eotto acreage than there was fast year. ? large acreage meats short pri?es, a email acreage a cbe<rp crop and fair price*. ^ ^ There are already hunAteds of ap plicante for tbe positions of State bar room keepers for tbe Tarions oountks. Qor. THiajan baa giren notice that 'be bat nothing to do with these appoint ments. Tbe County Board? bare this matter in charge. Tbe negroes celebrate Emancipatios Bay in about tbe same spirit that tbey ?o Christmas and tbe Fourth of July ?do no work, get together in a crowd, and drink all tbe liquor tbey can get, and bare no thought of the significance of tbe day. A mulatto dude, wbo pat faith to the Yankee talk of social equality, has come to grief at Springfield, Ohio. He married a pretty white girl, and re ceived a tarring and feathering as a bridal present from tbe White Gaps of tbe vicinity. Tbe tabacco crop of Sumter County will be no less this year than it was last, with the possibility of a slight increase in acreage. While none of the tobacco planters bare made much money on their crop of the past year, they are sufficiently encouraged to continue planting it. Col. T. Larry Gantt, tbe Georgia -editor of tbe Register, wbo declared that an Allianeemen would bare. to be blindfolded and backed up to tbe polls -io get hint to rote for Cleveland, is said to bare been selected as the messenger of Cleveland's electoral rote from this State. We treat the burnt district on Main Street will be rebnilt with handsome <two story stores that will be ornaments 4o the eentrai business portion of the -town. single story building, facing 4be Court Bocse Square, would eause the whole street to appear out of joint. 'The second floor of buildings situated on that portion of Main Street would make rery desirable offices. Economy is a virtue that the major ity of us admire objectively. In others it is beautiful to behold, a ad its ab ?enee is reprehensible ; but nine times out of ten, personal application is never once thought of. Economy is not -stinginess, but merely regulating ex penditures so as not to exceed receipts, or better still so as to not quite equal the income. Tbe appropriation of $40,000 by the recent Legislature will enable tbe Board of Trustees to complete Clemsoo Col lege without delay, and open its doors in tbe Spring. Tbe attendance will be large, no doubt, but there is no proba bility of its approximating tbe Bumber of applicants already enrolled?about one thousand. A post office is needed at some cen tral and convenient point on tbe pub tie road leading from DesCbamps' Mill to Scarboro. Tbe same man wbo car ries tbe mail to Bossard, ??cebanics ville aud jttanriile, could carry tbe an a il to tbe proposed office, and uot -Jeufltbeu bis roste more tban two or three mi fes. .r *k.. renplo_nrl that neighborhood want tbe office, ard [ a petition, generally signed, would, without doubt, secare its establishment. Tbe Supreme Court of Wyoming has decided tbe contested election cases iu favor of tbe Democrats. Unless there , are other unexpected development and complications? the election of a demo cratic United States Senator is assured Affaire bave taken such a shape in Cal ifornia, also, as to make the election of a De mo era rie Senator certain. Every thing seems to be in favor of t??c Dem oerats. May they make good use of, the opportunity and not disappoint tbe people who expect relief. it is tbe purpose of the a?tr-free siU wer Congressmen to repeal the "Sherman Silver law, and the free silver men pro pose to block tbe game by filibustering or by any other means iu their power.. The free silver men etaim fbat the Sher- ? man law is increasing the circulation at Ifee fate of four and a half millions per sec-lb, and that the banks and bankers are opposed to i?cf>e*f.e, a*d are respoa-( sible for the movement tc repeal tbe ?hermae law. The question of finance1 is a broad aad pazciing one. and the oext Congroee w?l be marked by a hard fight over H, with as -little result to wards achieving a permanent settlement as heretofore. The Watchman ami So*fkro*. dur ing .tbe year of 1803 will be a better paper tban it was daring the year past, the experience gained by the year's work enables as to say this much with out hesitation, and if the paper is not better wirb each issue, it will not be from tbe want of effort. We appreciate the commendatroo of those we have pleased as highly as we do tbe criticism of tbe dissatisfied?the absence of either would render the editor's life colori?es aud insipid. Tbe one flatters and en courages, tbe other ires to increased exertion ani at tbe same time renders -liim more etrefo) and particular. Both .classes of readers are necessary to make op ??re sum total of a country editor's ex4iteo?3. With a hearty ap precaution of the support vouchsafed the paper io the past, and filled with the hope that the paper may continue to merit everything received at the hands of the public, we wish each and all a happy and prosperous year. The iVetrs and Lourier of Monday, gave a review of tire industrial and financial conditio*? ?f the State at the beginning of the year. The condition as comparer! with last year, is gratifying, owing ? the better price obtained for cotton, the reduced acreage planted therein, the large corn and small grain crops, the greater diversification of crops, and the small amount of indebt edness incarred lo produce tbe crop of 1892. The New Year finds the farmer with ??all indebtedness, and cora cribe and smoke houses better fitted than at any time within the past score of years. Tbe farmer finds himself more indepen dent than he has been in years, aad if the program of 1892 is followed in 1893 an era of agricultural prosperity will be at hand. Tbe improved cond? tton of the country is reflected in the towns and ckres. The cotton factories and other manufacturing industries have a bright outlook in all parts of the State, and the pas! year has been gen erally prosperous. The News and Courier s review is ratber optimistic, too much so we think, but on tbe whole there is every reason for a hopeful feel ing among all branches of industry, THE DBPOT KUISAHCB. Tbe crowd that fiocks around every incoming and outgoing train at the Atlantic "Coast Line depot, and especially tbe evening train from Columbia, is a nuisance without mitigation or excuse. It is composed, is- a great measure, of idlers who have no business on the, platform and who should be kept off. Persons getting oa aud off the train are crowded and jostled to an annoying degree, and an unattended lady has difficutly in making ber way through the crowd of noisy, and often drunken, negroes and white toughs. Tbe first requisite towards abating the nuisance is a fence around the depot and platform, within wbicb only those who have tickets will be admitted ; and the second, a police to meet every train and see tbat order is preserved. It is true, as some will contend, that a police meets some trains now, but this is not sufficient, every train should be met and order should be enforced. Repeated complaints have been made to us about this matter, and we are prepared to cite particular instances of disorder that should and could have been prevented. Tbe case is one for the consideration of the railroad authorities, tbe Railroad Commissioners, the City Council, aud chief A. II. Weeks. WH?S"rISY~?jCJB?S?j. The people of this city have cause to be gratified at tbe position taken by Council in regard to tbe issuing of licenses to sell liquor during tbe ensu ing year, Tbat they did not follow the example set by other places and grant licenses for the whole year, is evidence of their conservatism and independent determinaiioo to do what seemed legal and right. Tbe Evans Dispensary bill as passsed by the Legislature is the law of the State, and individuals and subordinate governments are bound to recognize and obey it unti! a court of competent jur isdiction has declared it void. Tbe law as k stands may be fall of Sawa aud anelasti ta ?oo al?we do not venture upon this phase of the ques tions?but municipal and county gov ernments bave no right to disregard ?S?-=p~^?Uif?ixs of a State law. The courts can settle questioni- of law, ??4 those who do not believe in the legality or constitutionality of any act have in them their recourse. THE GREAT ISSUE. On tbe firet page of to-day's paper there appears an able and thoughtful article under the above caption. Tbe opinione advanced in regard to tbe causes tbat led to the present financial and industrial condition of the country are not entirely uew but are suflScieutfy novel to attract attention and arouse interest. It is tbe conelaetone arrived at, how ever aud the remedies suggested for DO existing evils with wbich we have most to do. That fcice oatioe owes to tbe soldier element a debt of boo er in the form of pensions, aggregating tbe sum $200, OtjO.OOO per annum is an assertion in which we can never acquiesce. We find not the slightest objection to paying pensions to tbe needy and disabled, but tbe assertion tbat it well require the enormous sum tnentioued above to do this is absurd. It is asserted, tbat both , Pr?sidents Grant and Garfi^ld, and others equally as eminent and unpre judiced have said that ?00.000,000 per annum should be the outside sum appro priated for pension*. The pension bustoes*. as itt i*i now Rt*uage? i* a j gigantie fraud and swindle and in more ! in need of reforja than the financial j policy of tbe gover-jtyeiit. The plan proposed of reducing tbe apparent cepi.t*! stock of railroads and other ci)rp*i<?ti*?rjf?, to real cost va'ue, by mean* <?f governu>cuta] enactments seems tosti ike at the root of the trust and monopoly etil, it may not be the best 1 plan, but discanto? o? this one may evolve a? improvement or soiuetbiug new and wholly tx-tter. The renewed issue of United States bonds bearing a low rate of interest, as a means of infusing new life into the I national banking system, is a sugges ! tion that we favor, but we doubt if the dissatisfied element, who are elareoring for cheap money and all sorts of impossi ble and radical reforme can be prevailed opon to see aoy good in tbe proposition. Their special aversion is tbe national banking system, aitboagh it has proved itself the safest and most satisfactory yet tried in America. That a new party is required to work oat the needed reforms we cannot agree. Tbc Democracy is the party of the people and of reform, aad with tbe support of tbe good people, the level-beaded peo pie, the workiogaod thinking people of all elasees, that party will do the work. Our Eloquent Orator. The Palmetto Club of Georgetown held its tenth annual celebration, followed by a ban quet, on last night. Gen. E-. V7. Moiaeof this city delivered the annual oratioa. That Gen. Morse did justice to the occasion and added another laurel to hie crown bis friends may rest assured. The Georgetown correspondent of the Ntws and Courier says : Gen. E. V?. iinne, of Smater, one of Carolina's truest patriota, wbo was a gal lant soldier, and who is one of the most polished and gifted speakers in tbe South was the orator of tbe cay. The Hon. D. V?. Morgan, the popular and worthy president of the clab, mtrodaced tbe orator of the day. Gen. Moise was received with every demon stration of applause and was listened to with emotions of delight. Be paid a well-merited compliment to the Palmetto Club and alluded to tbe benefits it bas conferred upon George towD aad the warm place it occupies in tbe affections of that community ; also tbe envi able reputation it enjoys throughout the State. He chose as the subject of hie address : "Waterloo and Manassas," contrasting the > one with the other. It was an able and admirable oration, aboundiug in lofty and inspired thoughts, tender and treasured memories, sweet and bailowed recollections. His tribute to tbe men wbo wore tbe gray was chaste and charming and evoked feelings of pride, mio ?? led with emotions of sorrow in every breast. Gen. Moise was at bis beat and charmed and eaptirated the large and cultured audience. Congratulations and encomiums were be stowed upon him, and tbe committee was congratulated in the excellent selection made in the choice of tbe orator, wbo bas certainly won golde". opinions. Town va. Country. Some weeks since a young merchant of this eity was conversing wirb a young farmer friend and the subject of physical strength was casually brought up. Toe young merchant is at all and well built young Wood and prides himself on his brawn, and it was but aatural that be should in a fit of self : admiring enthusiasm, agree to throw the farmer down, the best two out of three falls iu a catch-as-catcb-can wrestling match, on ' a wager of $5 a side. The farmer while not , as tall as the brawoy merchant is built from the ground up, and is as Active as sinewy, aud knows bis good points and is willing to back them with bis money. The wager was made, and a railroad man was chosen referee ; and stake holder. i The wrestlers, referee and a few spectators rendezvoused in one of the store lots, where the farmer divested himself of his coat, ve3t aud biled coilar and cuffs Tbe merchant confident ;n bis power removed only bis coat. And then tbey joined comban. First : The farmer stood cautiously at rest, hands at sides, and right foot slightly advanced. Merchant approached with a smile, until within two and a half feet of his intended victim, and then made a grab for him. The farmer was quick on the trigger and good at the grab, and tbey locked to gether in a half over aad half under bear bug, the chance* even. The merchant danced up and down, first to one side, then to the other, trying the farmer's strength; the farmer stood firm until the merchant paused for breath, then he cautiously ad vanced one knee, tightened bis grip, gave a sudden flirt to one aide, threw his shoulder against the merchant's chest?and the mer chant's cheek was tbe first thing to strike the ground, then sprawling be went full length, with the farmer on top. Merchant*surprised and slightly soiled about the countenance but no damage done. Second : Take their stand about ten feet apart, ready and anxious, eyeing each other like bellig?rant goats. At the word they kinder reared up and rushed for each other. Mixed, jumped up aud down, twisted around, tripped but no fail, stop for breath, repeated same tac?es, ad7*utage in merchant's tavor, throws his weight on farmer, almost bears him down, farmer recover?, trips merchant, and both go dowu in a dog fail, noses in the dirt and arm around each other's necks. Faces dirty and merchant's collar crushed. Referee called time. Third: Both blowing and faces Bushed, ta?e posi ion ten feet apart. Goat act re prated, get e^en holds, but the farmer seems ihe fresher of the two. After maneuvering for several minutes, the farmer obtains the id ran tage, and by a combination, afterwards described by himseif as tbe grapevine twist, mule buck and Lynches river raccoon hump, throws the poor, self-deluded, vain-glorious merchant clear of tbe ground, taeo faUsooj top of biro with a sound like a cotton baie faliing out of a two etory gin-house. The ! referee called time, tie farmer got up, tbe merchant got u*? on hie ail fours and looked at tbe farmer wttfe 5*01 y disappointed expres sion in his lamb like eyes, but like tbe little the calf ran over, hi opened not bis mouth. The farmer remarked as he pocketed the stakes: That he might be green, but when it came to flinging a fellow down be was not as green a? that other green fellow." Both wrestlers retired from tbe lot satis Sed and well coated with dirt, and the mer chant has not had much to say about tbe matter sities. The writer bepsened to get bold of the facts, hut h?s refrained from making thetn public until the first soreness of the conflict, bad worn off. The names of the wrestlers are withheld out of consideration for the writer's family, as the farmer s*js it would be unheakby if: his name wert in the paper, *?cb things being pointedly against tbe doctrines and teachings of the Alliance, according io the I rules and regulations made and provided for ; such things. Under tbe circumstances the delicacy shown in uot waking known the names of the estimable young men, neither of whom will do so again, will be appreciated by ?11. A New Theory. The following new theory of tlie cause of diseases and the wanner of treatment is ad vanced by Or. S. R. Beck with, wbo was he family physician of the late Piesident Garfield. He has made a reputation that is favorably knojyo in the highest medical and scientific circles of this country and Europe, Consequently any opinions advanced by him are weighed carefully by tbe m*dienl pro fession . During the last year 1 hare devoted my entire time in improving the electrical condi tion of 'iif Thermo Ozone Battery, and treat ing with it a great number of sick; have furnished several hundred physicians with the device, and received from them unqualified evide: ce of its curativa value. I now confidently aseert that it is (lie most useful a<*jmct to the art of medicine that has \ ever t>eeu introduced ; and in my opinion will j be found more advantageous iu domestic ' treatment than uuyjging known. It only d.ffers from other rurdieo-galvHHic batteries in t!;e discovery that jig currents were pro duced by l;eat and cold ; aud that ogone and oxygen were liberated from the wet sponges used, J?nd the iurroundmg atmosphere of the }K)sitive pole, and are carried by the current toward the oegntive pole through the tv^suesl thereby forming a circuit. By chemrca, affittir) ?ne and oxygen are taken up in its passage by the veins and become mingled witb the impure Mood of these hunion sewers ; there they form red corpuscles, and by their I H'iticeplic and jutritving properties, destroy disease germs and subdue d'sease action. That red corpuscles are thus produced, 1 have proven by microscopical e*nmit?Hhoii of the venous blood before and after using the battery; iu every instance af't.r the battery j had Ueeo applied, hundreds of partially | developed corpuscles were found rn the tuiero:e:opk-al views. Iu numerous eases patirti ts ? bo were p*'e, even tbeir bps color less, resumed a red color within one hour after . the battery w?s used, in Ibis experiment J nave t?een corroborated bj numerous physicians and other intelligent persons, who recognized that only oxygen or oaone cuedd as readily -ause a return of color v HOW DOES SUCH TREATMENT C??g DISEASE ? Irr reply I assert that nearly all disease originates in the reins or sewers of the human body ; that rvery congestire and inflammatory disease is ?rodueed by a distnrbance of the venous circulation-, and that it is the home of parasites and diseased products. In these res seis with their capillaries, are fonnd the rutero? bes malarial poisons, and animalcules which produce Diphtheria aod other contagious dis? esses. Here they live and grow, aridi as it is ! well known, are best destroyed by o2one and oxygen. I here positively assert from infor mation acquired during 40 years experience as medical teacher and practitioner, that the heretofore expressed opinion ?? regard the an atomical seat of disease rs incorrect. Disease has ita oriein and is located in the blood con taining the iroporitTea and wastes of the human body, and from this blood it extends to and destroys other tissues. Nature tenches .that it requires more oxygen when eick, shown by the rapid breathing, for the purpose of taking in more oxygeo and the increased action of the heart to distribute it. The loss of confidence in medicine by physicians and the people, has come from an erroneous theory as to location and causation ofdiseaee, and consequent failure by treat ment. I claim to be the first to announce that the impure contents of the human sewers prodoced disease, as does the same channels when used in cities for removal of collected impurities. White engaged in practice I asserted In 1887, that kine pox never existed, that vaccine was small pox modified by borine innocula tion. It met with the similar opposition that will be given to my present statement regarding the cause and location of disease. As early as 1854, by a series of articles, I claimed that 1 the human mind was never diseased, that insanity was due to bodily ailments. This : was opposed and I demonstrated in my hospi tal on Lake Street, Cleveland, Ohio, and io the Cincinnati private hospital for the insane, that a greater number of insane, were cured by adapting the treatment on this principle. Again when I demonstrated the possibility of representing the heart's action by a written condition of the pulse, it was opposed for years, and now used iu every hospital in the country. I mention these facts to show the slowaess of the profession in accepting improvements in the art. I now predict that within the next 10 years it will he acknowledged that the seat of disease is in the venous blood, and that the most satisfactory treatment for its cure will be transfusion of remedies into the veii:S. In my opinion, oxyeen and ozone are the most important remedies for this purpose, and can be introduced with a hyperderrnic syringe and an oxygen pump, or by electri city. The latter will be accepted from its convenience. I have gone far enough to known that the diseases roost readly cured by the battery are those of an inflammatory ori gin as Pneumonia, Croup, and higb grades of Fever, and that it removes obstruction around the brain cells and quickly cures losomnia, Nervous Debility, and general Brain Fag. As it causes a rapid flow of uriue rom one of the sewer out-lets it has been found to satisfactorily core nearly ?II of curable kidney diseases I have seen in eases of Typhoid Fever in its second stage, the pulse reduced 15 beats in one hour. I have observed in Neuralgia that it relieved the congestion pres-in^ upon the nerve causing the pain, iu an incredable short time. Having retired from practice and been e?gaged during tbe last 12 years in the manufacturing of electric, devices, it has afforded me leisure and an opportunity to invent the Olone Battery, the first instance where a galvanic corrent has been created by a variation of temperature. Having accom plished this a id shown its curative value, I have disposed of the right to sell the invention under the conditions that I manufacture and reserve the exclusive privilege of correspond ing with those who desire its use, which I will gladly do with pleasure, giving such instructions as I am able to give with my opinion respecting their disease. It must he understood that in addition to the transfusion of ozone and oxygen that the battery causes a current of galvanism to pass into the body, and cold is conveyed into tbe tissues by the wire coming from the immer sion of the battery in ice water, and from these reasons a careful study of the book of directions is necessary.

Lynchburg, Wednesday, Jan. 18. Magnolia, Thursday, Jan, 19. Mayesville, Fridayr Jan. 20. Reid's Mill, Monday, Jan. 23. Bishopville, Tuesday and Wed nesday, Jan 24 and 25. Manville, Thursday, Jan. 26. Spring Hill, Friday Jan. 27. Mechanicsville, Saturday, Jan. 28. Scarborough, Monday, Jan. 30. Rembert, Tuesday, Jan. 31. Hagood, Wednesday, Feb. 1. Stateburg, Thursday, Feb. 2. And at the Auditor's office in Sumter on all other days, from Jan. 1st until February 20th, in elusive. The law requires that all persons owning property or in anywise having charge of such property, either as agent, husband, guardian, trustee, executor, administrator, &c, return the same under oath to the Auditor, who requests all persons to be prompt in making their returns and save the 50 per cent, penalty, which will be ad ded to the property valuation of all persons who fail to make returns with in the time prescribed by law. A good way for the taxpayer who I has much property to return, is to * make a memorandum of the number of horses, cattle, mules, sheep and goats, hogs, watches, organs and pianos, bug gies wagons and carriages, dogs, mer chandise, machinery, moneys, notes and accounts (above indebtedness) fur niture, &c, which will save the tax payer time and enable the assessor to progress in the work. Taxpayers return what they own on the first day of January, 1893. Assessors and taxpayers will enter the first given name of the taxpayer in full, also make a separate return for each party for the township the property isin, and where the taxpayer owns realty to insert the postoffice as their place of residence, and those who only own personal property to give the party's name who owns the land they live on as their residence, which aid's the taxpayer as well as the county treasurer in making the collection and preventing errors. Every male citizen between the ages of twenty-one and fifty years on toe first day of January. 1893, except those incapable of earning a support from being mained, or from other cause?, shall be deemed taxable polls. All returns that are made after the twentieth day of February next have to be placed on the additional list and fifty per cent, penalty added thereto, unless prevented by sickness or out of the county during the time of listing. Xot knowing the time of listing is no exense. And all owners of real estate might do their tenants who cannot read or take a newspaper, a great fa vor by making their returns or telling them the time of listing, and thiX if they fail to make their returns in time that the valuation has to be increased fifty per cent, unless they bave a good excuse. The assessing and collectingof taxes is all done now in the same year, and we have to aggregate the number and value of all the horses, cattle, mules, &c, as well as the acres of land, lots and buildings and their value, that there is in the county, and have same on file in the Comptroller GeneraPs office by the thirtieth day of June each year. And from that timo to the first day of October each year the auditor's and treasurers duplicate has to be completed and an abstract of the work in the Comdtrotter'* office by that time, which will show at a glance that the auditor has no time to take in returns, or do anything else much, between the first day of March and the first day of October each year, but work on the books and blanks. Therefore hope that all taxpayers will do us the favor of making their returns in time. PETER THOMAS, Dec. 6\ Auditor Sumter County. Guano! Guano! Guano!
