TUESDAY, DECEMBER 5. J. A. MOOD, M. D-, EDITOR. The Sumter Watchman was founded | m 1850 and the True Southron In 1866. .' The Watchman and Southron j BOW has the combined circulation and influence of both of the old papers, and is manifestly the best Advertising medium in Samter. THE GOVEBrNOB'S MESSAGE* This communication which was de livered to the General Assembly, on last Wednesday, ts a plain, business-like paper, devoted entirely to a review of tho different departments under the management of the State, and ts devoid of unnecessary verbosity or sentiment. No allusion is made to national affairs nor political questions within the State. It reports a most satisfactory progress of affairs under a smooth-working and economic government of a happy and prosperous people. It shows that the debt of the State? fonded and being fonded, ts $6,592.825 -a decrease of $70,496 on the amount reported last year. The whole debt of the State bears interest at.6 per cent., and is promptly met as it accrues. The securities of the State are sold above par; there is no floating debt, and there is a cash balance io the Treasury of $98,017. It is recommended that the eoupons of deficiency bonds be made j receivable for taxes. j The Penitentiary paid into the Treas? ury $40,000 last year, and the phos? phate royalty amounted to $138,254, which, with the general tax. comprises the revenue of the ?State for current expenses. A general tax levy of three and six-tenths mills will be sufficient to meet the ordinary expense of the State government and pay the* interest on the public debt. The levy Jast year was - four and three-quarter mills. %.One of the most striking contrasts in the present administration compared with that of 1868 to 1876. is presented in the management of the Penitentiary, -. which, under Radical rule, consumed its entire earnings and an annual ap? propriation of $62.800 from the State Treasury. . The Superintendent's report ^ shows the earnings for the year to he . ? $94,236 ; expenses $52.250. He has paid on the dosi, $8.096 ; paid into j. the Treasury. $40.000, and has on | hand, $14,901. There were 824 con vieta on November 1. ' There have been 775 patients in the Lunatic Asylum, under treatment, dur- ' ing the year, and 550 are now present. .Attention is called to the abuse of the laws which provide for the. care of indi* . gent inmates by those who are able to pay for the expense incurred by the . State. The laws enacted by the last , : - Legislature to prevent such abuse being either insufficient or are not executed, > fewer patients pay now than before, j T&e appropriation asked for by the , trustees, is $114,194. ? The agricultural condition of the ' State is reported as flourishing. The 1 importance of fully maintaining the < Agricultural Department and Immigra- , tion Bureau is strongly urged. The I tax on commercial fertilizers collected > by the Department of Agriculture for 1 the year amounted to $23,704. ' The valuable service which has been ? rendered by the Agricultural and Me- ' chaucal Society in the development of ' the industries of the State as well as ! the unprecedented success of its last annual Fair is approvingly mentioned i and a continuation of the annual appro- t priation of. $2.500 is recommended. I A gratifying. , improvement in the j public school system is noted. The < fund for the year was $454,665-the ' largest sum ever before available. The 1 system is firmly established, and its . friends may expect with confidence its , steady progress and improvement. j The Citadel Academy has been re^ - . opened with one hundred amij^^nty seven cadets. The VptftrSty reopen- . ed with oneJwtrdted and forty-eight I ?Jjfer*s! The Institution for the Deaf, -*jDumband Blind bas sixty-two pupils and Claflin College, set apart for color ed students has three hundred and ] forty-five in attendance. It is thought 1 that the full development of these in- i stitutioDS will accomplish all that can ' be done in qualifying the rising genera? tion for the higher duties of citizenship, t and are therefore commended to the i fostering care of the General Assembly, 1 and an appropriation of $44,850 is asked for their maintenance. The Commissioner of Railroads re? ports that his inspections of the rail? roads last year have been highly satisfac- . tory to him. Many and extensive improvements are noted and the facili- ? ties for the safe and speedy transporta- 1 tion of persons aud property have been much increased. Several new and important railroads have been projected and considerable progress bas been made towards their construction, among the most important is the Carolina, Cumber? land Gap and Chicago R. R. Co., which when completed will fufill the dream of fifty years ago-the direct and independent connection of our com? mercial metropolis with the Ohio valley. , The organised militia consists of eighty-one white and twenty colored companies, numbering five thousand five hundred and sixty-one men. The , Adjutant and Inspector General report- . ing them in an improved condition ! i comparing favorably with like organi- ' tatton in any other State of the Union. It is advised to weed out inefficient corps until the number of men ls re- c L duced to four thousand-a force sWfi- 11 cient for all purposes. The appropria? tion asked for the railiti? is $22,700. Executive clemency tag been exer in twenty-five instances of which ten have been commutations of sentence and fifteen have been pardons. THE LEGISLATURE. THIRD DAV. The Senate met at 12 M., with President Kennedy in the chair. The morning hour wt? consumed io the usual way and nothing novel or eventful hap? pened to infuse life into tbe dall routine of proceedings. Tbe dispatch and smooth dis? position of the business denoted a determina tino OB tbe part of the members to waste no time, hut to press forward and get rid of the work tn hand. Various members gave notice of their in? tention to introduce sundry members. The House met at 12 M., Speaker Simons presiding. The proceedings of the day were opened with prayer bj theRer. William Martin. Mr. Simonton moved that professor McBryde of the South Carolina College be invi? ted to address this body in their hall on Thursday next. Adopted. FOUBTH DAT. TheSenate met at 12 M., President Kennedy in the chair. Among the new measures introduced the following are the most important : Bill to amend Section 1588 of the General Statutes by providing for the compensation of physicians and Trial Justices io cases of lunacy ; bill to amend section 2197 of the General Statutes, relating to the compensation of witnesses in criminal cases ; bill to amend Section 108 of the Code of Civil Procedure, so as to prevent co-tenants of real estate from escaping the effects of the Statute of Limitations by rea? son of the disabilities of other co-tenants ; bill to authorize the State Treasurer and the seve? ral County Treasurers and the Treasurers of municipal corporations to return certain moneys to militia companies of the State ; bill to repeal the agricultural Hen law and abolish liens on crops ; bill to amend the stock law ; bill to amend the liquor law ; bill to charter the ?ishopville Railroad Company. The Judiciary Committee made favorable reports on the following : A bill to amend an Act entitled '"An Act to provide a gene? ral railroad law for the management and regulation of railroads in this State and for the appointment of Railroad Commission? ers;" bill to amend Section 2437 of the Gen? eral Statutes, relating to costs of Sheriff : bill to amend Section 1776 of the General Statutes i relating to the recording of deeds. The proceedings were wholly devoid of in? terest nntil Mr. Wallace of Richland County moved that the following resolution pass : Resolved, That the Judiciary Committee be instructed to inquire and report at their ear liest convenience whether a person who is a member of the General Assembly can at the same time be a member of the Board of Di? rectors of the Penitentiary. After v considerable debate the resolution was adopted by a vote of 21 to 9. The House .met at 12 M., *. Speaker Simons presiding. A concurrent resolution from the Senate proposing that the House and Senate meet in joint session on Wednesday, December 6, to compare the vote on their respective journals for United States Senator and to meet other requirements of the law waa received and ?greed to. Mr. Brawley introduced the following reso? lution : "Resolved, That the Railroad Commission? er do furnish to the Railroad Committee of this House a statement of all complain ts on record in his office of unjust discriminations ind unreasonable and excessive charges made by any railroad company in this State, and that be do forthwith advertise io tue Colom? bia Register and Charleston Nexos and Courier, inviting all persons having knowledge of any unjust discrimination and unreasonable and excessive charge to appear at bis office, on donday, the 11th day of December, instant: M which time the Railroad Committee is ;iereby instructed to conduct an examination into any alleged abuses, to be continued from lay to day, allowing any railroad company igainst which charges are made to answer the lame. The said committee, upon the conclu non of such examination, is ordered to report :o this House, by bill or otherwise, whatever measures may be advisable or necessary to ?orrect any abuses which may be found to ex st. This resolution provoked considerable de sate, in which Messrs. Murray, Brawley, Wil? ton, Ansel, Johnstone, and Farley partici? pated. Several of the debaters took the rroand that the resolution wag an attempt to lefeat or postpone any action on the railroad question, which, tn their opinion, is the most mportant matter before the House. They bought that the Railroad Committee should >e allowed to grapple with this question with? >utany exporte testimony. It seem3 to be he opinion of theders &rs tb*?T&e~ time has irrivedjjh?s-??j^^tate should supervise the ?r?fbads in this State. The special committee appointed to wait on he Governor and Lieutenant Governor elect nade a report fixing Tuesday at 1.30 o'clock ur the time of their inauguration. The Honorable Senate was announced in tvaiting and was ordered to be admitted. The irst business of the joint session was the elec :ion of a Judge for the Third Circuit. Senator Karie placed in nomination for re-election Bon. T. B. Fraser, whose nomination was ?bly seconded by Mr. Haskell. The roll was ?lied and Judge T. B. Fraser having 148 rotes, the total vote cast, was declared elected. Mr. Haskell nominated Mr. T. J. Lipscomb *or re-election as Superintendent of the Peni? tentiary in a highly eulogistic speech. Thc Domination was seconded by Senator Hen ?erson. The roll was called, and Mr. Lips :omb having received 129 votes, the total vote cast, was declared elected. Mr. Boy kin placed in nomination for Trus? tees of South Carolina College Messrs. Simon ton, Rion, McMastcr, Caldwell, Izlar, Blind? ing, and Boyd, the present incumbents. The roll was called and these gentlemea having received 130 votes, the total vote cast, were j declared elected. Mr. Haskell moved it be referred to the Ju- j dietary Committee to decide whether a member j of the House can act as a Director ot the j Penitentiary. Adopted. The House adjourned until Monday, at 12 o'clock. ! T The special election in the city of j Spartanburg, on Tuesday, on the liquor j license question, resulted: No license, 439 votes ; license, 287. Majority for no license, 152. The election was a quiet one, and although the day was wet the city went dry. The murder of Mr. F. M. McDowall ; by a negro roan, 13 miles above Cam- i den, which occurred on the 30th ult., j seems to have been a blood-thirsty one, j ind has incensed the people to such an : ixtent that should they overtake the i villain it is thought he will be lynched. j fbe deed was committed with au axe, j md the body dragged away. An io- j ?meat was afterwards held, fnd a ver- j iict renderedaccordingly. T^^jnains j ?ere <ms?a^?L&dcn for i There were 186 failures it: thc Un itel i States reported duriog the past wok. j 15 more than the preeedinr: w k, ? i 28 mor? than tho corresponding wee* j last year. The Lane?' protests energetically against the habit of smoking cigarettes in the belief that these miniature doses of nicotine are innocuous. The effects produced on thc nervous system by a free consumption of cigarettes are stated to be more marked and characteristic than those recognizable after recourse to other modes of smoking, and pulse tracings made after cigarette smoking are flatter and more indicative of de? pression than those taken after the smoking of cigars. It is the custom at the celebrated seat of Earl Powis, in Wales, annually to catch a stag to be hunted on bis birth? day. ODC morning last month Lord Powis and a large party assembled with this object, wheo the stag was pursued by equestrians and pedestrians, but without houcds. After an hour's pur suit the animal fell dead. Lord P. theo j let loose another, which ran about an hour and was then caught in the net. After his horns were 6awn off, he died too. This fatality threw such a gloom orer the company that the hunt was given up with an unpleasant sense of ! bad omen. ! Harper's Nevr Monthly Magazine for 1883. j This Magazine has aptly been styled "The I Giant of the Monthlies." Practically there is j no limit to the circulation or i terence of a Magazine like this, conducted in a spirit so broad and catholic, alwavs vitalized by the strongest impulse of current th rough t and action. Harper's Magazine is the best Maga? zine for the Home, never* intruding elements j of controversy, but bringing to tlie hearth* I stone tbe riebest treasures of imagination and I art. In descriptive illustrated articles and j character sketches it is especially rich. Its ! brilliant galaxy of contributors is unequalled, j j Miss Woolson, the author of "Anne," the most original American novel ever written, leads off with anew story, entitled "For the Major," and Mr. Charles Rende s senes of short stories are part of the rare literary re? past the publishers will lay before their vast clientage in 1883. No periodical issued at $4 can compare with it. A volume is a li? brary in itself. Harper's Bazar for 1883. The Bazar is acknowledged to be the best j periodical for women published in the English j language. It is the American authority upon j Fashion, Household Affairs, Etiquette and i kindred mutters. Its literary department is j of the highest order. Its illustrations com? puse exquisite engravings from the works of eminent artists,-with portraits, local sketches and amusing comic pictures. Its communi? cation with the Capitals of Europe is such as to enable it to make immediate announcement of all the changes and modifications in styles that take place in centres of fashion, thus en? abling its readers to dress in the most becom? ing attire at the smallest expense. This fea? ture alone is worth to a family many times the subscription price, ?4. The Magazine and Bazar will be sent to one address one year for $7. . - PKRSOXAL -Francis B. Hacker, President, and Josiah S.Brown, Treasurer, of the Wando Phosphate Co., will be found at the office of the Company, T Exchange street, .Charleston, S. C See advertisement. . A New England physician says that iPevery family would keep a box of mustard in the house three-fifths of the doctors weald", starve. No instructions as to whether it should be kept in the pantry or down cellar. Banish ill health, nervousness, vexation, fretfulness, etc., by using Brown's Iron Bit? ters. The Boston Post speaks of an armless negro playing the piano with his tows. He must be some relation to a tug. Highly Esteemed. The youthful color and a rich luster are restored to faded or gray bair by the use of Parker's Hair Balsam, a harmless dressing j highly esteemed for its perfume and purity. MARRIED.

Address : NEW YORK OBSERVER, New York. NEW YOBK, 1883. More people have read THE SUN during the year just now passing than ever before since j it was first printed. No other newspaper ? published on this side of the earth has been bought and read in any year by so many meu and women. We are credibly informed that people bay, read, and like the Sun for the following rea? sons, among others : Because its news columjispresent in attrac? ! tire form and with "the greatest possible accuracy ..whale'or has interest for human Kind ; the events, the deeds and misdeeds, the wisdom, the philosophy, the notable folly, the solid sense, the improving nonsense-all the news of the busiest world at present re? volving in space. Because people have learned that in its re? marks concerning persons and affairs the Sun \ makes a practice of telling them the exact j truth to the best of its ability three hundred | and sixty-five days in the year, before election i as well as after, about the whales as well as | about the small fish, in the face of dissent as plainly and tearlessly as when supported by getieral-approval. The Sun has absolutely no purposes to serve, save the information of its readers and the furtherance of the common good. Because it is everybody's newspaper. No mun is so humble that the Sufi is indifferent to his welfare aud his-rights. No man is so rich that it can allow injustice to be done : him. No man, no association of men, is j powerful enough to be exempt from the strict j application of its principles of right and | wrong. Because in politics it has fought fora dozen : years, without intermission and sometimes j almost alone among newspapers, the fight that has resulted in the recent overwhelming ! popular verdict against Robesonisra and for j honest government. No matter what party is in power, the Sun stands and will continue to stand like a rock for the interests of the ! people against the ambition of bosses, the ! encroachments ot* monopolists, and the dis- j honest schemes of public robbers. All this is what we are told almost daily j by our friends. One man holds that the Sun j is the best religious newspaper ever publirhed, j because its Christianity is undiluted with cant. Another holds that it is the best Re? publican newspaper printed, because it has already whipped half of the rascals out of! that party, and is proceeding against the other | half with undiminished vigor. A third bc- j Heves it to be the best magazine of general I literature in existence, because its readers | miss nothing worthy of notice that is current j in the world of thought. So every friend of ! the Sun discovers one of its many sides that appeals with particular force to his individual liking. If you already know the Sun, you will ob- j serve"that in 1883 it is a little better than i ever before. If you do aol already know the j Sim, you '.'ill find it to be a mirror of ali hu- ; man activity, a storehouse of the choicest pro- ; ducts of common sense and imagination, a ! mainstay for the cause of honest government, j \ sen'inci tor genuine Jeffersonian Democracy, | : scoiirg'! for wickedness of every species, and ! lin ui .mmonly good investment tor the ' coming year.

(PATENTED.) Ten Reasons wliy the "KNOCKABOUT" is the best Suit now; in the market for Boys' wear. I.-Because the "KNOCKABOUTS" are made from double warp and doublc-aod-twist, ; UQtearable and wear-resisting, fabrics. II.-Because the "KNOCKABOUTS" are trimmed in the most substantial manner, none ; but indestructible materials in thread, linings, buttons, Ac, being used in tbeir j manufacture. j UL-Because the "KNOCKABOUT" Pants are made with our Patented "Cavalry Knee," j thereby insuring the greatest durability. .j IV.-Because the "KNOCKABOUT" fabric being a light color is not objectionable, as many j suppose, for it is in reality a neutral shade which will not 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 j wearing, substantially made BOY'S SU'Tat the low price of ?5.00. VII.-Because the "KNOCKABOUT" has prored an inestimable blessing to every Father j who has to buy, and every Mother who has to mend, the clothing of the irrepressible i boy of the period. VIII-Because of the above given reasons the "KNOCKABOUT" Suits commend themselves j to thc taste, judgment and pocket of those to whom the amount of money expended j during the year for Boys' Clothing is no inconsiderable item. j? IX.-Because, since '-nothing succeeds like success," the great success of the "KNOCKA- j BOUT" thus fer proves it to be just the^Suit that was needed for Boys' wear. X.-Because knock-about as much AS you will, nothing will be found to knock the |1 "KNOCKABOUT" Suit that is manufactured for jj S 5 . O O. -0- j WE HAVE ADDED TO OUR j BOOT AND SHOE DEPARTMENT!
