C|e S?fau^ui sn? ?Sortea TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 16. The Swater Watcltnian was founded is 1850 and the True Southron in 1866. The Watchman and Southron sew has the combined circulation and influence of both of the old papers, and is manifestly the best advertising medium in Sumter. EDITORIAL ITEMS. The cotton mills in North Carolina are following the example of mills else - where and are shutting down part of IJr 7 - ;'. the time, for all of which we are very" sorry. The last Legislature of New York ; aboBshed the colored schools and now ail classes are thrown together. They opened kat week io New York City ^ V with 800,000 pupils. The News and Courier has publish? ed some startling revelations about the i opium habit in Charleston and the num? ber of victims to the galling slavery. There seems to he no release after the habit is once formed. Beware of its H approach. The Cholera, which at one time, it was hoped woufd be confined lo the few infested towns in the Southern part of France, '. has been rapidly widening ? its ravages and has become a terrible j ^scourge ia some of the Italian cities, and especially in Naples. On the 12th instant there were 430 deaths io Naples alone. King Humbert is winning golden opinions from bis subjects by the active sympathy he shows for them in their si Sering s tn Naples from the Cholera. He not only gives freely of his means 1 . bat exposes himself personally in visit- j iitg the infected quarters and planning j and working for the unfortunate victims j of tho plague. Billy Mahooe is always ia trouble, and most of persons arc always glad to ~ know-that fact. Just now he finds his situation very precarious. E ven w here ho thought himself strongest-in the Petersburg District-his former Repub? lican allies arc becoming more defiant sod indifferent to his wishes. Mr. Blaine's Managers make some pretty good hits in their cam pa iga plans, for instance they have adopted the sky? rocket as an emblem of their dubs, sad we think it very appropriate. No j1 efusi?n ever went off with more fizz j ' and glare and hurrah than did that of j - Blaine's nomination at Chicago; no j stick, ever fell to the ground with a -duller thud than has that nomination laites upon the country. They tay that George C. Gorham, the bitterest Republican in Washington ts talking about coming out for Cleve? land. We suppose that Gorham's j j vote would count as much as that of < any one else, but somehow we would lather if be intends to support Cleve? land, for him to say nothing about it. j \ We should be sorry for any decent Democrat to have to* vote the same j ( ricket with G. C. Gorham. j - Th? New York San has a lengthy ex- j? Jtract from Buffalo papers of old date j ( {giving an account of the hangings that I ?Cleveland performed while Sheriff, aod j , ^argues that the faithful performance;1] ?of the duties of that office has unfitted |, ?him for higher position, but seems to j, forget that when the Beast whom it 60 j | ardently, advocates for President, had j command at New Orleans he was a j batcher of the first water. Io another column we give a statement of one of ?: IM murderous exploits. General Clingmsa, we believe it is, j < aas boea telling the people for many ] I months of the many uses of tobacco j1 as a remedial and eora ti ve agent, and j1 now still another field of usefulness ) opens for that plant. It has been dis- j 1 covered that it makes the best of paper j; which is for superior to wood pnlp paper ! both in strength and cheapness. Wc j1 are glad of this for outside of the quos- ; ' tien of tobacco becoming of some use j5 to mankind, its use io making paper j will interfere with Senator Miller of j New York, one of most cold blooded j1 monopolists in the country, who con? trols the patents on wood pulp for paper. Some folks think Keely is a fraud j bat they are mistaken. Those same j people will, wake up some morning and j find him one of the most noted inventors j in the country, next to Charlie Mason, j He has invented a gun in which be ? ases the 'Etheric Vapor' which is, we | believe, the motive power of the machine at wh'.cb he has been so long i working; and some experiments were! made a.few days ago in presence of two army officers. The Philadelphia Times says : 'Half a dozen leaden bullets more j than an inch in diameter were fired j through a board and flattened out against j an iron plate as though they had beco pounded with a trip-bam mer.' He proposes repeating his experiments at i an early day at Fort Hamilton. Mrs. Belva A. Lockwood a female j lawyer in Washington has been Domina ted by a 'Woman's Party' for Presi- j dent, and she accepts. In ber letter of j acceptance, which we suppose is the j most amusing paper of the kind that j has ever seen the light, she outlines her ! policy on the tariff, the Indian question, international matters, labor troubles, ?xe. j in a most unique and thoroughly femi- ? oise way. The widow Butler and Mrs. ? Belva ooght to have a conference and draw straws as to which should have j first place and which the second, and ; amalgamate their tickets, and then we should have 'Beauty, and Beast* really sad truly. j * j Not since the Grant & Ward smash ; i1 OFFICIAL RETURNS OF THE PRIMARY ELECTION OF SUMTER COUNTY, HELD SEPT. 6, AND COLLATED BY THE EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE, SEPTEMBER 9TH, 1884.

W. F. REIAME, Secretary. last spring has there been such a finar cial furore as resulted from the tcrribl tragedies and failure of the Back ; New Brunswick, N. J. The Cashie Hill, who had been living a fast an free life many years and had made wa with $250,000 of the bank's mone takes his own life, when upon thc ev of discovery ; the President who wa lamentably ignorant of thc duties of hi position, and who had borrowed h ea vii of its fonds upon collaterals not wort more than one-fourth their face value seeing disgrace staring him in the face cut his throat. The scene around th bank when the news was known beg ga-cd description, and for hours fear were entertained tba* the depositor would take forcible possession. OTJK CANDIDATES. , We thought best to say nothing about the nominees last week, for the] were already happy because of theil success at the polls; and the defeatec brethren had not then recovered theil equanimity of mind sufficiently to listet with complacency to flattering remarkt about, their more successful competitors. Bat the sky is serene now ; the soret arc healing, the bruises fast disappear? ing and all can join in saying that wc have a first class ticket. Every body had some friend left ont, and would have been glad to have some things different, but we can not expect to haye ?ill we want in this world ; and it is a eertaiury that thc democracy of Sumter County will give the gentlemen who have been chosen as party candidates their undivided and hearty support. We are especially pleased with our Leg? islative candidates, in fact we had so good a set of men to choose from, that we could not stray very far wrong in our selection and while thc gentlemen left >at would have done honor to themselves ind been a credit to the County, yet we san all work with vigor forsuch mea as Lee, Cooper, Beckham and ^luldrow ill of them good men and true. Our Clerk and Probate Jodge have mowo by their past record a thorough itness for those offices and hence their ilraost unanimous renomination. Two )f thc nominees for couuty commission? er have already held that office, and as? sume its important duties with the benefit of that experience. The other Domin?es will work itt new fields? but we have no reason to doubt their entire success. Three cheers for our ticket . THE SUMTER~LIGHT INPAN TEY. Tee attendance of tho members of this company at the Annual Inspection last Wednesday evoniug. showed thafc Lue interest formerly felt in its exis? tence and prosperity is sadly waning. We regret this for the Company is a Dece8sity to the town of Sumter, and should be kept up at all hazards. If we were a homogeneous people, with no disturbing questions to divide aud array une class against another, the need for El military organization would not bc felt, but situated as we are with a lar<?e proportion of the population deluded by false teachings and absolutely under the control of vicious leaders, the pres? ence of a well drilled military company gives a feeling of security that all would be gorry to lose. The people of Sumter cannot afford to let the company die. All of us are, or should be, inter? ested in its welfare, because ifs welfare insures ours ; aod the men and women -the womcu especially-of our town should consider themselves recruiting officers to build up the company in membership and equipments. The Company needs encouragement and help from the town, and should receive it. THE STOCK LAW. The Aiken Journal and Redete has lately declined to pui'li^Ii a letter that criticises the prcseut law, on the ground that, it was stirring up dead issues. We think the position of that paper was correct. The Stock Law is a fixed fact. It bas siren satisfaction toa large majori*y of the people and there is no ? possible chance of ita repeal or mod i fi- j cation, and it is time Jost and worse than lost to discuss that question. x ; It is true that the law ?bears very j hardly upon some. There are cases in which the entire means of support for families have been crippled or destroy? ed, but the immense saving to the State at large iu thc annual outlay for fencing counterbalances all such loss a thousand times over. Even where the law bas borne most severely, neighbor? hood combinations could be made that ! would obviate much of the trouble fncident to its execution. The strongest argument to favor of the good policy of the law is tin fact that its advocates always increase wherever it has been tried. In oar own County there were sections that opposed it as bitterly when first enacted as did Clarendon or Georgetown, and now many of those places are practi? cally unanimous in itst favor. IS IT SO ? "We enter upon our eighth volume this week. The experience of seven year's in editorial harness has taught us, among other lessons, that the edito? rial scissors can often do better work than the editorial pen "-Barnwell People. We publish the above to congratulate our brother on his years and prosperity and also to differ from him as to the relative value of pen and scissors. Headers of County papers do not care to see them turned into Eclectic Maga? zines. They get enough of that sort of stuff in ready print?, or in the large Metropolitan blanket sheet*, and they look to the local and editorial pages of County papers for home and County news. Of course we little, country editors can not rival iu clearness of thought, or brilliancy of expression the articles found in the great papers of large cities, but subscribers to County papers do not care to know what the editors iu New York or Boston say, ?car as* much as they wish to hear the news from the various sections of the county, told in homspuu language possibly, but interesting to them all the ..ame. The scissors are very useful to the editor, the pen still more so. Neighboring Counties. Clarendon Enteprise : The reception at the Academy last Friday eveoiog was one of the most pleasant ever yet held. -Kev. L. D. Bass left town yesterday to assist Rev. Mr. Lampley in a meet? ing at Mt. Hope. -M. Levi has fitted up gas arrangements, and now uses it altogether. It makes a decided improve? ment Ile has also the largest stock of goods ever brought into this market. -Rev. G. J. Griffiths ha? for some time been suffering much from sore eyes, but he is improving, aud was able to preach last Sunday, ile has begun a protracted meeting, and there is preaching every night in the Methodist church. -lt ih a good thing for some of the candidates that the canvass is over-they were getting so fat from eating so much sheep and shote that, if the campaign had lasted much longer, many of them would have had to lay in a supply of larger clothes. -Ar? rangements have been made to board twenty or more students who may at? tend the Academy, at ?8 a month. This is very low, and it is expected that a large number will avail themselves of this opportunity. The tuition rates of the Academy are low, and the advan? tages superior. -Colonel H. L. Benbow, who has been quite unwell, is again able to be out. and was in town last week. -The Baptist meeting at Dudleys closed last Friday night. 12 additions were made to the Church. ' Darlington Kars: A meeting of days is in progress at the Welsh Neck Church, Rev Mr. Forester of Hurtsville assisting the pastor. -A religious meeting is in progress at High Hill, conducted for the first six days by Rev. lt. B Mahoney, who did some earnest, practical preaching, under which thc church is greatly revived. -The present outlook for farmers is not at all encouraging. The recent drouth has cut off the cotton at least one-third. Peas, potatoes and late corn are also cut off a great deal. Many of the far? mers owe their entire cotton crop, and unless the price of cotton remains up they will not be able to meet their obli? gations. -On Monday afternoon a number of citizens and small boys were attracted in front of Jno. II. Karly's store to witness the working of the "Little Giant," a hydraulic cotton press. With a barrel of water and a small pump a boy can apply ail thc force necessary to pack the heaviest bale of cotton, or a power pump can bc at? tached and ruo by a belt from the engine shafting. Camden Journal: We hear many complaints about the roads in the east? ern part of the county. Some of them have been blocked up with trees that were blown down two or thee mouths ago.-The interior of the Methodist Church was draped in mourning on last Sunday on account of the death of Bisop Pierce. -We regret to learn that. Mr. Edward Barnes, well known to all of our people as Sheriff Barnes, was badly hurt on last Friday by being accidently thrown from his bu^sry. At la.-t recounts he wa? quite feeble. -The effect of the drought during the past three or four weeks upon thc late crops in this vicinity has been very severe, indeed. Scarcely any cotton has been made during the month of August, all the young bolls and forms shedding off as soon as the flowers opened. Florence Times: Florence is unusu? ally healthy at. this time, and has been so through the snmiucr. -Crops around Florence are in very bad con? dition, and in some places they will not average one-fourth yield. The farmers Look blue. THE TENNESSEE WAGON. ??????nMMaMMHaaHai After having for a long time tried to have a wagon built to suit the wants of this section the subscriber has at last had MADE TO ORDER, The above, which, he thinks, fills the wants of the community in this respect.
