J. A. MOOD, M. D., EDITOR. The Sumter Watchman.iras founded ia 1850 aud the True Southron- in 1866. The Watchman and Southron now has the combined circulation and infiaence of hoth of the old papers, and is manifestly the best advertising medium in Sumter. THE PABTY OUTLOOK. * Never in the last quarter of a century have the prospects of the Democratic party been so bright as at this time. The results of the election in the Fall were even a surprise to Democrats themselves, and indicated a change in the sentiment of voters throughout the Union, very favorable to a change in tbe en? tire administration at Washington in 1884. The misgiving which was widely felt in our , own State prior to the last election was shown to be unfounded bj the handsome and almost unparalleled majority which was roll? ed np for Thompson and the rest of the State ticket. This gain, however, will not be of permanent benefit unless the utmost prudence is exercised on all sides, and the competency and economy of the Democratic party is con? stantly evinced. The work of the Legislature bas been for the most part entirely satisfactory to tbe peo -ple, and its legislation of a very conservative character. The most perplexing questions, such as the stock and lien laws have been ju? diciously disposed of. Those counties in which there lias been the greatest complaint are al? lowed in the?uture to suit themselves as re? gards the former, while the experiment of re? pealing the lien law has been regarded too dangerous to risk at this time. With the possible objection of extravagance io appropri? ations to the higher branches of learning, which in view of the scanty facilities of common schools, we are opposed, we think the' mem? bers of the General Assembly return to their bornes with the approbation of their constitu? ents. The same vigilance must be exercised in national politics if the success of the last few months be followed up. The repeal or modi? fication of the revenue laws is the most impor? tant measure now under consideration, and if our leaders are alive to the situation and aware of the danger of a misstep the wishes of the people will be undoubtedly gratified. Only by serions blunders or conspicuous evidence of incompetency can we be defeated in 1884. TEE LE GISLATTJBE. Since our last issue the most invariant measures which have been adopted are the pas? sage of what is known as the "Montgomery Stock Law Bill"- by the Senate. The feeling among many Senators is that it is a serious mistake, tending to keep alive the Stock law agitation ?without giving acceptable relief. As it stands it taxes for the purpose of building fences the cattle, hogs, sheep and dogs of communities desiring exemption. The tax will be heavy, except in well-watered localities, and it is not . expected to be generally voted.. It applies to the coanties of Beaufort, Berkeley, Clarendon, Georgetown, Colleton, Lexington, except the Fork portion, Marion, Chesterfield, Pickens, Oconee, Williamsburg, and that part of Charleston north of Owendaw creek. The Rail-Road bill providing for a commis? sion of three with duties similar to the Geor? gia Rail Road Commission and the modifica? tion of the usury law, fixing theiegal rate of interest at 10 per cent, have also become laws. ^-iRr^TSQUthorn Land Association has ob? tained, a char t er to lend money on land in this State at tea per cent, interest. This will force our capitalists to demand but 10 per cent, in future, or give this company the -monopoly of business. Fifteen thousand dol? lars bf the earnings of the Legislature and the labor of two bandred convicts were appropri? ated to the Columbia Canal. One hundred and seventy-eight acts were passed. The Legislature adjourned on Saturday. Thj?Comet of 1882 . WASHKGTox^T>ecember-' 19.-Professor .

Gen. Beauregard's book about the civil war, now passing through tbe press, is said to deal with Mr. Jefferson Davis in a severe manner, ."' criticising with aggressive freedom his politi? cal as well as military views. Governor Stephens of Georgia has pardoned Capt. Ed. Cox, sentenced to life imprison? ment in tbe Penitentiary for the murder of .?"Col, Robert A. Alston at Atlanta, Ga., in *: 1879. The murder and trial created a pro? found sensation owing to the prominence of the parties. Under the present laws of the State, all wfactofies are exempt from taxation from : of their establishment for a period of ! years, except the constitutional two mills Jool tax, which they are required to pay. , effort was made in the Legislature to re~ rpeal the law making the exemption, but it i defeated by a large majority. doeB not grow on trees, but some make it so easily that it might >rganton, N.

This is not a fact. Texas has more murders and gets more settlers from abroad than all other Southern States put together. .No State in the Republic grows more rapidly in popula? tion. It is a strange fact. An Explanation. The delicate, flowery and lasting fragraoce of Floreston Cologne explain why it is such a favorite with the ladies. The largest fruit seller in New Orleans, on being asked what became of all the cocoanut shells, replied that he sent annually 1.5J0, 000 to New York to be ground up with black pepper. We often wondered what became of those shells, and now that the information has arrived we are not happy. A child's greatest ?nemy is worms.
