We promised our readers to gire them a rest and take oue ourselves this week, but we have broken our promise and send them a half sheet with our New Year's greeting. "God bless us all, every one," and help us to start the New Year with greater zeal in coi cg our duty to Him, to each other and to ourselves, is our earnest desire. And when the year 1884 shall be numbered with the dead, may our retrospect be saddened by no regrets for misspent days or sinful deeds. A happy New Year to one and all. CHRISTMAS. Christmas in Sumter, passed very quietly. While many places in the State suffered from the disgraceful riots of drunken rowdies, our streets were disturbed by nothing of greater moment than the unanimous boy and his uni? versal fire cracker. Wc suppose some poor unfortunates got drunk, but no doubt they are heartily ashamed cf it, and hope they will do so do more. We aro glad to see that Christmas, a day that should be rilled with pleasant memories, is becoming more like it ought to be, a time of pleasant, social ,reunion. The rough and boisterous character of an old-time Christinas cele? bration, is becoming a thing of the past with a great majority of people; and as fathers and mothers, brothers and sis? ters, sons and daughters gather around the ample board crowned with Christ I mas cheer, they feel that they celebrate j the day sacred to the advent of the ! Prince of Peace, in a more rational man? ner thar, ever w;is done by the boisterous rowdyism of the past. A HIGH SCHOOL-SHALL WE HAVE ONE? We mentioned in our last issue the fact, that fifteen boys from Sumter were attending one High Schcol, outside our County. Several other schools number our boys among their list of pupils, a?.??] we feel sure that Sumter, each year, j sends off enough, pupils to constitute a flourishing school in our midst. This is the largest town in the State without the advantages cf a Boys' High School. It stands alone in that re- j spect, and the friends of education should confer together and remove this stigma from the name of cur thriving towu. We need a schcol. We need it more than a factory cr bank, more than a fire department, (and we al: j know how much that is needed) and j nothing i.-, i king but a little co-opera- j don among our people, to give us one. A good school in Sumter would save money to those who now send their boya off; the boys would be kept at heme under the watchful care of iheir parcats eye ; it would prevent money j being sent away for tuition and board, ! and bring more herc, for the surround? ing country would be sure to patronize a prosperous home school, aud many a boy, unable to meet the expense neces? sary in attending a boardiug school, would have the opportunity of fitting himself for the battle of life, here at home. We have been waiting, waiting, waiting, for some one to come and do this work for us, but all in vaiu. Teachers have come and gone, schools have been started without numbers, have struggled along, lived out their few days and died only to be followed by others equally short-lived, equally useless. In the mean time, our boys muct be se ct out of the county, or, il kept ut homo, sent, to one teacher one vcar, . another the next, thc effort iu each case i being an experiment, which reruns in failure as ofteu as not. This matier is sufficiently important for thought as well as words. It demands thc at u n- j tion of every parent in Sumter, and we com Li it the Watchman and Southron, j in this good y?:ar 13S4 to tho euro est I aud continuous advocacy of building up a High Schuol in the town of Sumter. CHRISTMAS C?ilMUS. Thc criminal recurd for Christraas has been unusually bloody this year in our State. Shooting, stabbing and cutting affravs beb: !?i^h canmai on thc 25th ; , I December, and we suppose that, wita j scarcely au exception, all engaged inj these murderous pastimes were druni . ' Tbe Ni ns omi Courier iu writing on ! this subject, says : j The worst encounter was at Allendale, | ? where there were two fights, li ve men j I being wounded aod two Icing killed. ! j It needs no scrutiny of thc U ?'? mopy at ? ; the coroners inquest to make it eviJeut j I that whiskey was at the holt;-.JJ of the . j trouble, and th:t?. the habit of carrying ; I and using knives and pistols was tho ; j immediate cause of the bloodshed. ? ! There was a grudge between oue family ! |aud another, a soit of vendetta; one ! j maa boasted that he could or would j beat another man, and then came tte knife and ibo pistol. The chances are that if there had been no whiskey drinking at Allendale on Christmas day, (and it is, we be? lieve, one cf thc towns in which the saie of liquor is prohibited,) there would have been no bloodshed, no loss of life. And were it not for the practice of carrying pistols and knives for offen? sive purposes there would have been no fatal collision. And yet people will drink until fren? zied with whiskey ; they travel over the country armed and equipped, net ac? cording to law, but in violation of law, and then come murder and a felon's cell. And when these men, with hands reddened with a brother's blood, are brought to trial, the fact of their bein^ drunk will be offered as a palliation of their awful crime. We again quote from the Neics and Courier. Surely, in their calmer moments, the people of every county ia which blood was spilt on Christmas day, cr shall be spilt on any day, will realize that they owe it to themselves to establish in South Carolina, in fact as in word, the reign of a law which shall be no re? specter of perseus. Without this, with? out the feeling that this is necessary, the path of the State must be downward, and the course of the Commonwealth, instead of being towards a higher and j better civilization, will be, by rapid steps, towards the barbarism of the savage and the morals of the heathen. .rtm^y -CS? Railroad Bill. We take the following synopsis o? the Railroad Bill from the Aiken Recorder. All those sections of thc late law giving the communion povrer to fis rates are repealed. The railroads arc to submit their rates to the commission for approval or modification before putting them into effect, if the commission approve, they go into effect almost im? mediately. If the commission disap? prove and modify after hearing argu? ment from the roads, and the roads will not accept thc commission's modifica? tion, they have the right to appeal to the Circuit Judge of i?ichiaird County, or in his absence to some other Circuit Judge selected by the Chief Jusiie-;. The evidence taken before the commis? sion is submitted to him and he must decide the case within ten days, his de? cision to be Seal. During the penden? cy of the appeal, the rates in force at the time the change v;as proposed by the roads shall remain in force and be enforced until the question at issue shall be adjudicated. The rates to cc submited to the commission by rho roads inelcde through and joist rates. Thc commission have thc right, if they consider the raten in force unreasonable or discriminative, to change them to just and reasonable rutes. If the roads refuse to consent to such modifications they c;'.n appeal lo thc Court in the manser provided above. The atloraev-stneral conduces al! eascsk l for the commissioners.' Tiisections against discrimination remain in the ia*.v. Provision is made for speedy adjudication up^n suits fer dh?c? imiuatiou brought hy parties against the roads, the commissioners acting ac agents for the parties suing. The penalties fer discrimination or un? just charges are quite heavy. In regard to passenger rates, sundry j provisions arc made, the most important of which are that the railroads must establish second -class fares. The Barn? well Hallway is to be considered an in? dependent road. Il -o o - -Ota A Very Significant Fact, The Columbia correspondent of the Ibexes and Courier, immediately after j giving the vote by which the Senate re- ? fused to strike out the enacting clause ! of the Railroad Bill, says: 'Mr. W. P. Clyde was present, and at thc cud was congratulated on his ! voctory.' I Over whom d"u Mr. Clyde gain his victory ? The people of South Caroli? na ! If so, the representatives cf that people should have hesitated before con? gratulating this great moneyed kind of the North who came South to lobby this Bailrcad Bili through our General i Assembly. We mus;; confess ?.hat we do nut like thc idea of having a man congrat?lale ] on his victor)' over the people in their own State House. It is a very significant fact indeed. Orangeourg Times Dan<n:r<it. The cou o try editor is a deceitful villain. i:e usually has bills to meet in January and wishes that month a thousand miles away, and yet he tells his confiding readers, during the edito? rial announcing h ? su=-p< nsion during this week, that he stands a tiptoe on the threshold of the New Year, with the sorrows and troubles of the old ono i vanishing with the peals of the glad? some bells that herald thc coming of 1884, gazing into its mysterious dark? ness with countenance bright with joyous expectancy.-Grccnvitfe Kaes.
