I learn that innen is "being said and written by a cer tain class ia Sum ter against the no Ixense law, as to its damaging effects upon the trade and general interest of the Town. It reminds one very much of the death-groan of the wounded tear: or the hissing of the dying serpent. The elating of the Liquor Saloons will injure the Trmhof Sumter! It is simply ab surd! They might just as well assert that the banishment of sin from.the world would destroy our beautiful globe. I do not be jiere that any man with tender sensibilities has made the assertion without considerable reserve. I have conversed with many persons in the county, young and old, male and female, moderate drinkers and immoderate drinkers, and the almost universal expression is that of the highest approval. Six or eight years ago there were Bar-rooms at Wedgefield ; and the streets were filled with the hellish effects?of fensive fames, profane and vulgar tongues, and drunken, rowdy crowds. The ladies could not walk tbe streets, then with any pleasure. \ Then the trade of the place was far belovr what it is to-day. Since tbe sale of liquor was stopped, new life has entered tbe place, and it is now making rapid strides for ward. The Ivanter Advance kindly published a full account of tbe condition of tbe town since the closing of the bar-rooms, about one year ago. Since that report, a very neat, comfortable church has been built by the Presbyterians, and tbe Baptists are now taking steps toward building a church. With three churches, good schools, productive soil, generous and enterprising citizens, and no Bar-rooms, who can predict tbe future of Wedgefield? And best of all, the property holders, all good, substantial business mem are solid against the introduction of the traffic At Providence the- good people tell me that now they seldom hear the wild shout of tbe passing inebriate, and the report of fire-arms recklessly used by drunken mad men, 1 have beard no one complain of the injustice done the liquor men; nor have I heard any say they will go to Camden to trade or to any other place where liquor is sold. The people generally, who were in Town on SaSesday in JanuaryT were delighted with tbe improvement. I beard a man say not long since, that the country around Statebnrg was "infested with mean whiskey," and I saw a practical demonstration of it ; but, there, too, the better class of citizens approve the action of the people of S amter. AU along Bafton Creek a wonderful improvement is noticeable since the traffic- was stopped in the country, and some of the oldest and best citizens ex press'themselves as highly pleased with tbe success of the no-license party. A blind man with a keen moral sense, cannot walk the streets of Samter on a public day, or tread through tbe county without seeing tbe good effects of the new law. None, or amazingly few, oppose it save those who are personally interested. Let not our Suraier merchants fear any loss of trade; for if any of their cus tomers follow the bar-rooms, their place will he filled by a better class, with more money, clearer rrtindx and belter moral character. May tbesaloons/orewrbe closed; and may tbe parties now selling without license, "Cease to do evil, and learn to do well," or soon find themselves in the clutches of die law. -_ _COUNTRY. [Por the Watchman and Southron ] Suarraa, S. C, Feb. 6, 1883. Mr. Editor: Tbe right to criticise articles appearing iu public joifrnals none will deny. -That one person, or class has the right to dif fer in opinion from another, likewise is uni versally acknowledged. That this right should be exercised in a proper spirit of de corum and gentleness, even though some re flections may sting, or goad, from the barb of truth, should be granted. If a statement .is without foundation in fact?ichy say so? and that ts tbe end of it; or at ieast the side making the statement will be thrown upon tbe proof. It will not do to deal with crimina tions by recriminating tbe ?u ihor of sucb re flection. This would be puerile, and only arotsse contempt in the mftd of a candid reader and establish, or at ieast give weight, to the charge. With these general reflections, permit me to offer a friendly criticism of an article appear' ing in to-day's copy of The Advance. The writer, Temperate,"! know not?but he has assigned-for certain condition of affairs in Sora ter a cause as foreign to the true cause as that rain is tne cause of sunshine. To quote bis words?l;I don't think there is a man Jia the towo, who w:H deny that they (streets) have been in a worse condition than during tbe last month for five years." He goes on to assign as a cause, tbe inability of Council, through lack of revenue from the liquor license, to keep them in repair?because," says be, "the majority voted 'dry.' " Now is this fair in Temperate ? Might be not, for the same reason, charge the delay of all farm ing interests in tbe country usually attend ed to in January?or Couoty Commissioners with tbe condition of public roads and bridges? I think so. Surely be has just return ed from Arizona, where it rains but once a j year, and reached Sumter in tbe midst of the rain and slush of 15 or 20 days, out of 31 for January. And, forsooth, sucb a thing bad not been in 5 years, ergo Dry Ticket did it. He has unfortunately forgotten the fiithiness of tbe streets last year under the license re gime. Now would it be fair for us to charge upon the fact of "license" last year's misfor tunes 7 "Street lamps were not lighted regu larly as they should have been, but that has nothing to do with tbe matter. Wby men tion it then ? Perkaps T. thought of the con dition of tbe.lamp-lighter from?well! Yet I know that I have seen the lamps lit c^rly and burned a I* night nntil some time liter day light, all during tbe full of the moon when there was no necessity for tbem. This does not savor of td|g|ittle money. "Police?protection property," Ac. Yes we do need protection, not only from thieves, bot leeret law-breakers. A bar-keeper iu Sum ter to-day, here against the expressed wish of the majority of oor voting population, is here in defiance of all law. Yes ; We need Police men. Under the dry schedule, when you finally close np tbe bar now retailing?our policeman will have the time to protect property hereto fore given to tbe protection of bar-rooms and playing scavengers for them. But from Template's introduction, Ice, it setms that nobody's opinion is worth telling or defending unlesss it savors of rum?tbe opinions of merchants, policemen, and citi zens to tbe contrary, notwithstanding. But, to conclude?wby not say that the dearth of trade during stormy January?our Music Hall unoccupied by theatrical compapies?the inconvenient and unaccomodating schedule of j the Central, R. R.?the foreclosures of the liens, mortgages and public fates of this week ?burning of tbe two buildings in town?the meagre supply of robb ins and partridges? tbe decline of tbe cotton trade?the reaspn for the unfinished condition of the* Confederate Monument?tbe cause of this warm weather in Febtuary, with the thermometer in tbe seven ties?the high price of eggs and their scarcity ?all?all is because the majority of Sum ter'3 j citizens voted dry. Why not! Wby before j the vote one thousand and one things, more ' or less, were predicted. "Wife 1 Wife I! the cow has swallowed tbe Grindstone ; "Did'nt I tell you so T1 Come?come?defenders of bar-rooms, hunt ip some other and substantial reasons, but! for heaven's sake don't stultify yurselves by ?ry ing fire, when it to only in your pipe. > CRITIC. [For the Watchman and Southron.] JTr. Editor:?It has been currently rumor ed that liquors are being sold in Sumter now in violation of tbe Local Option Law now in existence. Now if this be so, why so ? Wby is not tbe existing law enforced ? That is the question. Last December an overwhelming majority of the citizens of Sumter determined at tbe ballot-box to rid tbe community of the evil of whiskey selling, and is that expression of the popular will in this matter to be of no effect ? What are tbe officers of tbe'town paid for but to enforce the law ? Of course if whiskey is sold it is done on the sly. Is it sold in Sum ter ? If so the offenders should be found out and punished. Tbe town authorities should look closely into the matter and find out for a truth whether or not whiskey is sold in Sumter. Either sell it or not sell it. If whiskey irsold here now contrary to law it is an outrage upon the community and should be stopped. The Police can find out if this be so or not, and it istbeir duty to do so. What is tbe use of a community trying to rid itself of the withering, blighting, damning touch of rum if its sworn officers allow it to be sold contrary to law. We do not charge this against the officers of tbe town, but we do say that it is their duty to find out if these rumors are true. We hope for the sake of the community that the existing law is proper'.y observed. We are no fanatic on this subject, but wbetber a law suits us or not it is our duty to obey its mandates as good citizens The people of this community have spoken at the ballot-box, and they have tbe right to demand the strict enforcement of the law. The.law is written and that should be enough for all. Shall the law in this respect be enforced or not? We shall see. LEX. Mr. Editor: We beg to call the attention of tbe Police to the Ordinance with reference to gates opening on the sidewalks. "A hint to the wise is sufficient." PEDESTRIAN. Golden Days.?The February number of this magazine has been received and is equal to any of the preceeding numbers, which is saying a good deal in its praise. It is intended for ' :Boys and Girls," and is just suited to their needs as an entertaining and instructive magazine which may behead with pleasure, interest and profit until the "Boys and Girls" arrive at 90 years of age. It is published at a subscription price -cf $3 per annum, by James Elverson. N. W. corner Ninth and Spruce streets, Philadelphia, Pa. * * A sad report comes from Kingston Ga., of a poor white woman and her three small children who were found on Tuesday frozen to death in the woods, between that place and Atlanta. The woman and one child were stone dead in the snow, and tbe other two children were gasping in the last ago nies of death. Their names are un known, and do one knows whence they came or whither they were going. They were clothed in rags and their features were pinched as if by long suf fering of hunger. A large liquor establishment in St. Louis has made a disastrous failure, their liabilities exceeding assets by $150.000. After recounting other reasons the proprietors say. 'Perhaps tbe firm would have surviv ed even these disasters if others had not struck it almost at the same time. A large, valuable and remunerative trade had been built up at great expense in tbe neighboring Spates of Iowa and Kan sas. The constitutional amendments, prohibiting the sale of intoxicating liquors-in those States did not only de j stroy that trade in the latter part of j 18S1 and early part of 1882, but mer I chants, taking advantage of tbe popular 1 feeling and temper of courts, became ! remiss in their remittances for goods j previously bought, collections by pro ! cess of law becoming almost iwpossi ' bie.' We get the item through the St. Louis Presbyterian. Isn't it altogeth er possible that Prohibition does pro hibit? There are more people who can forget themselves, than govern them selves. A Pocket Necessity. Tbe Texas cow driver, the civil engineer, the summer tourist, the traveling salesman, should never be without this vade mccvm, a bottle of Norman's Neutralizing Cordial. Tbe small size is convenient for tbe* pocket and a bottle should always be found there. The Safest Way. The safest and surest way to restore tbe youthful color of the hair is furnished by Parker's Hair Balsam, which is deservedly popular from its superior cleanliness. ? -*-? How She Saved Her Darling. 'I shall not feel so nervous again about baby'6 teething," writes a grateful mother. "We almost lost our darling from cholera infantum, but happily heard of Parker's Gin ger Tonic in time.
