TUESDAY, MARCH 2. The Sumter Watchman was founded in 1850 and the True Southron in 1866. The Watchman and Southron now has the combined circulation and influence of both of the old papers, and is manifestly "the best advertising medium ia Sumter. ^D?TO^AL ITEMS. Rev. W. H. Lawrence, the Northern white preacher who for several years was stationed io Charleston, and who has been for several months the buga? boo of some of our esteemed cotempora ries, has been transferred to a Minne? sota Conference, and we trust the above mentioned esteemed can now sleep in peace. The people of New Mexico are get? ting desperate on the Apache question. The County Commissioners of Grant County, out there, have offered a bounty .of ?250 for each Apache scalp brought in. We endorse their action, and'hope every white "brave'' in the County may soon have a scalp dangling at his belt. A gentleman recently from Barnwell tells ns that the change that has come over that town since the visit. of the Evangelist, Mr. Tillman, is marvellous. Barnwell was fast gaining a reputation anything but favorable to good morals, and the change that has come over it is & matter of congratulation to its citi? zens. tlNot by might or by power" most certainly in this case was tho change wrought. The arrangements for the visit of Moody and Sankey to Charleston are nearly complete. The admission will be by tickets which will bc distributed by the pastors of thc various Churches. As their stay will be short, embracing not more than three or four days, some? time during the last of this month, there will be dense csowds in attend? ance. Everybody will want to hear Moody and Sankey, whether they care a snap for religion or not. Merrill the butcher was prominent in South Carolina politics during the revolutionary period prior to 1876 and won the execration of every true Caro? linian by his villainous brutality. No sleuth hound ever ran down a victim with more persistence than did this rep? resentative villain of the g. o. p. while harrying the people of the upper Dis? tricts during the Ku Klux troubles. Ile is about to be retired from the army because of age, and there being a va caney in the Lieut. Colonelcy of his regiment, his friends are anxious for_ his promotion prior to retirement, but President Cleveland declines to aid in the scheme, and thereby earns the thanks of every South Carolinian. . The tobacco boom still flourishes. -We fear, however, that it is an ignis fatuus, and, after leading our people still further into debt and making our lands still poorer, will result in a fail? ure. Our great duty is to make at borne what we consume, as far as cir? cumstances will allow. Take the one article of hay, for instance. Thousands of tons are shipped each year from the North and sold here at prices double that at vfhic> oar farmers could profita? bly sell hay. We know what our lauds can do in producing hay, we know noth? ing about the results of tobacco. Some of our Southern papers are tre? mendously exercised over the uncon? stitutionality of the Blair educational bill. Since hs introduction in the Sen- ? ate and the debate thereon, they seem j to be utterly absorbed in thc conten?- [ platioa.of its enormities. The tariff, the silver bill, the row between the President and the Senate, all sink into obscurity in comparison with this terri? ble invasion.of the constitutional rights of the States, by the prospect of ?77,- j 000,000 being spent for education by ! the General Government. We hope the bill will become a law. We need the money and the schools the money will bring, and as for violating the Con? stitution, the war settled that difficulty. "Frauds in Fertilizers" is a taking subject at present anent the recent pub? lication in a number of State papers of the list of fertilizers deficient in certain i ingredients. We did not publish the j list, because we do not believe there is j any fraud ia the fertilizers, not because J those who manufacture are more honest j than the rest of mankind, but simply j from the fact that it will not in this io- j stance pay to cheat. There is so much \ competition between manufacturers, and I detection of fraud is so easy that even j . though a man is a rascal, he would not j be apt to cheat intentionally in the com- j position of his fertilizer. Some are bet? ter than others, it is true but that is be? cause of better combinations of the ma? terials used. Dr. J. H. Carlisle delivered a lecture on Worldly Amusements, Sunday two weeks ago, in Spartan burg, The ad- j dress was, as is true of ewry literary I effort emanating, from that talented gentleman, very strong, both in con- i ceptioo and delivery. The speaker j paid in the outset that his remarks were j intended solely for the members of the j three Churches-Methodrst, Baptist, ? and Presbyterian-whose pastors had i asked for the lecture, and that he had : no word cf criticism whatever for those j who were not professors of religion, j We think this should have entirely dis- ? aruiod criticism from the outside world: : but not so, for we have seen one or two ! fetters, (most certainly from non-pro- j fessors, judgiog from their remarks.) j attacking tire position taken by Dr. j Carlisle, iu his lecture, which goes to I show that outsiders who propose to re ulate the religious duties incumbe upon the members of Churches ha more assumacj than properly belongs them. Our people are poor, and we fear th are getting poorer, notwithstanding t roseate hues of the late report of t State's progress. And we fear th are inclined to ascribe their troubles other than the true causes. They coi plain of the lien law, they complain high taxes, and find fault with ofik holders, when neither the one nor t other would necessarily interfere wi their prosperity. Debt is the eatii canker. Buying what could be di pensed with, and paying for it at t end of the year at credit price will ii poverish any farmer, and not until tl hideous spectre, the credit system, forever banished, will OUP people thriv Planting ail cotton and keeping one smoke house and corn crib in the We is bad enongb, but cannot compare evil with buying on credit. There nothing our farmers can do which wi as surely eat up every dime of pro: they might rightfully expect to make : this practice. Stop it, stop it. ''Kellogg and the English Opera, is the title of an interview in the 'Ne* deffer of New York with Mr. C. I Hess, a prominent stage manager. M: Hess goes for Miss Kellogg with euerg and says : "Her avarice, vanity an coidness have been her chief imped men ts throughout her public careel They destroyed her chance of becomin one of the most popular women in th world, for she was one of the most pei feet vocalists that ever appeared befor the public, and as she was the firs artist to prominently represent tb American nation on the American stage there was a national pride in her arnon the people of the United States, whic would have amounted almost to idola try. Had she possessed the warm an liberal disposition of glorious Parepa and the zeal and earnestness of good honest Caroline Richings, she coui have retired with undying laurels, ic stead of spending her declining years ii the fossil repository to which she is uo\ relegated." We suppose Miss Kellog) will pardon him for his ungallant attacl in view of the fact of bis admission o her wonderful vocal powers. TH? WATEB SUPPLY. This matter should not be allowed ti drop. The welfare of Sumter depend upon a better water supply than we have We may differ as to the means of ob taining that supply but surely then can be no question of the need of hav ing it. THE^^TOGK LAW. We hear complaints from farmers c depredations from roving cattle, whict will lead to trouble if not checked. The Stock Law is as stringent in the Win? ter as in Summer, and while, by gene? ral consent cattle may be allowed fret rage during the few weeks when noth? ing can be injured thereby, it is tress passing on good nature to allow that privilege now. Fruit trees will soon bi badding and one hungry cow can do $100 of damage to a young orchard it: half a day. And then farmers are put. ting out their cotton seed, preparing fertilizers, &c, and all stock should bc put under fence. SNOW." We see from our exchanges that tht snow storm of Saturday night and Suu day extended over the entire State. In the upper Counties it was quite heavy, in sorte places being sis inehes deep. In the North a . furious blizzard raged for several days, the wind in New York reaching the velocity of 84 miles au hour, while on Mt. Washingtoo it blew at the rate of 120 miles! The cold was intense. Watch the Lawyers. To Thc Editor of tue Noes and Courter : Mr Tillman calls on the farmers to hold a convention so as to adopt measures to protect themselves against everybody, and especially against then natural enemies, thc lawyers. It is high tiaie ?ht-se gentb-men should be curbed They are appropria ting nearly all the ft.' offices in the State. Nearly every Congressman, all the Judges, a very large proportion of the members of the Lvgisla'u: e, and many o'her officials are hr.rycrs. The subtle wiles of these gentlemen are apparent in the fact that two prom? inent members of the B ?r take the ground that the University ought not to afford free education. They well know that with most farmers their sons cannot receive college educatiou if they have to pay for tuition. One says: "Education not paid for is not appre? ciated." We all know that before the war, the beneficiaries in college fthe Hampton, Hutchinson and Manning scholarships) made fine students. These gentlemen say the poor farmer ou^ht not to be tax? ed to educate the rich. Why, who pays the bulk of taxes? The amount appropriated to the South Carolina Col? lege requires one who owns $1.000 to pay a tax of ten cents (or two rigars or one drink) a year aud it takes ^lU.OuO to produce onedollar tax. And yet they say that this tax oppresses poor farm? ers. They don't object to free school tax, and yet the College appropriation would not run the frre schools four days in the year. These gentlemen cannot fool nie; they know that those of high education and trained minds run the State; and hence .lor.'t waiit thc sons of poor farmers to have the only posible chance of a high education. All these things must be guarded against Let us hold a con vc tit ion and admit none except those who are farm? er?, and farmers only. Most of the lawyers are also farmers, but these must not be admitted. Also care should be taken to exclude those merchants who arc alee farmers ; for the majority of these also own farms.

SMITHVILLE, S. C., Feb. 12, 1886. Mr. Editor: I paid a flying visit to you pleasant town last week. As scon as I gc on the street, Sheriff Sanders took bold of mc but not by authority of the law, no Sir ! bo for old acquaintance sake, then the pleasan out door bank clerk Ernest Rhame, had ; warm greeting for me, and so on for a coupl of hours with my friends and acquaintances I notice while business is duH in Sumter, i is not so dull as some places I could name Evidences of life and energy are shown it the numerous new houses and cottages, seet on the different streets. The new Methodis church as seen from a distance looked well A fellow could take his girl up to the Cupoli and build air castles sure enough. I love t( go to Sumter. I can see true men there that ar< not afraid to be called men, and who cai grace all stations, and positions in life. At for the ladies, while not so well acquainted with them as the men, I guarantee they arc second to none elsewhere. The guano trade is thriving as ever-judg? ing from the way it is hauled from the Depots. Like all other bad habits, this is hard to mod? ify. Our people act as if they could never raise a bale of cotton, as our fathers did, without they have Charleston, or some other kind of dirt, under it, and ':Qui Vive," with the rest. The pleasant weather of the last few days has infused life sufficient in our people to shake winter off, and get to work. Some of them are now making fine progress towards a crop. While others have done nothing. One of ou: most thorough going planters said to me not long since: "I never entered a year with darker prospects for the farmer than this one, but I ara going to double my energies and make the best of it I can, and try to make som? money outside of cotton." If all would try likewise, money would not be tso tight. There is too much staked on cotton. Jim Holliday and Sep Edgefield had a colli? sion a few days ago about a piece of land. Sep believing that Jim had trespassed on his rights asgiven him by his employer, ordered him off. Jim not heeding, Sep spoke again through the medium of axe-helves, sticks, &c, which brought Jim to the ground. This was too much of a good (?) thing for Jim. and getting up he drew his knife and made for Sep who seeing that he had raised a cyclone in Jim and rrraembering that : "He who fights and runs away, Will live to fight another day," j took leg bail. Jim however being the fleetest, soon overtook bim, and cut him deeply in the side. Sep has been laid up ever siuce under the Doctor, meditating on his wrongs and troubles. He is seriously hurt, and no joke about it Mr. Hu?b Evans is the only turpentine man about here now. It was rumored that Mr. J. Wilson Burket and Rufus Howell, were going io the turpentine business, but I believe these gentleman have abandoned the idea, and will invest their capital in some of the other numerous channels ot business, that are al? ways open to ready cash. Miss Ida and her brother Ernest H. Rhame of Sumter were visiting ia this nei?borhood a few days since, but have returned home. Mr. John Bar?eld is slowly improving from his long sickness. Ile bas our sympathy. A gentleman remarked to me in Sumter: ''Officials gettwig very polite." Why? ''Election year." The Pisgah school has been closed all the Winter Whose fault ?

HOW IT LIVES, LAMENTS AND 8UF? FERS IN NEW YORK. Musical Stn ?lents Who lave I.ifcs Aushor Ites-Unknown Geni nues, "Whose Heart* Are Devoured by Anxiety-Tho Vast Army That Talent Drass in Its Train. I Special Correspondence.] NEW YORK. Feb. 10.-"New- York is in? fested wi h talent. It lurks on every corner, iwells in garrets near the sky. aid touches ?lbows with one constantly, indoors an 1 out. lt isn't always pro^p rous talent. Much of it is in its incipiency, some in its docline, md nearly all in the struggling stage. Tab.-nt is an admirable possession, but It ?as a way of talking about itself thar rather wears upon one. The more undeveloped it is the more does it expend itself in words, in the struggling stage it wearies everybody with its wai'iugs and lamentations, and alas! stragglers are all toa plentv here. They some from every village, town, bill-dda and p'ain to find an outlot for their talent, to try their wing-. Frequently thoy ch-risb, the belief that there isn't mnph else in life worth paying a-tention to but their talent The dismal experience of finding an oppor? tunity, an openinz. even a footho'.d, involves an exercise of all tho qualities that belong to heroes. Courage, patience, perseverance, self-conSdenee and eternal vigilance must prop np the greatest talent ever bestowed apon mortals if it achio\ es anything. Heaven help the talented stragglers in Sew York, for they fight with the dragon of adversity band to hand; they earn success a thousand times though tiley may never reach it They pay for every foot of ground gained with their heart's best blood. Truly, heaven does help them often. There is no other way of accounting for their miraculous extrication from desperate straits sometimes. The stragglers are creatures of a single Idea. One thought consumes them, and that is. how to advance themselves in their profession, whatever it may be. The worst of it is they refuse to understand that others are not equally interested in their hopes and fears. To be sure they rarely reach the dizzy heights they set out for, but they accumu? late a stock of wisdom by no means to be despised. They adopt a definition for the word "success" quite different from the one that daz/.led them before they tried their wings. A famous editor said to mi one?, "I consider any one's life a success who has kept out of the poorhouse. " Tho talented stragglers agree to this after they have once "mixed with action." Experience teaches them humility. Nothing else can. To be rare they never persuade themselves that they were intended for the paths of medioc? rity, but they decide to walk in said paths uncomplainingly, and even gratefully. It's pitiful, too, to see them yield to the inevitable, one by one, falling far short o? their dreams, yet heroically setting their faces to the blast and pushing on to the end. Quear commodity this thing we call success. It has a way of coming to loiterers and dodging workers that is perfectly incom? prehensible. A writer of much ability and great industry said recently: "I began a literary life determined to reach the heights; but here I am, 60, and still in the valley." Here is the yoting lady who is ready fco be launched in th? musical world The seal of some renowned lfUian teacher's ap? proval has been set upon ber.- She comes to New York, the Mecca of the aspiring, brim? ful of pride and confidence, to ?eek an en? gagement The foot of the ladder i: not for ber. Oh, nol Nobody dare* to hint nbout climbing ia her presence. She has ?roy amount of courage until managers hew it away with brutal rebuffs. She sings for managers again and again and hears nothing from them, in spite of all their promises and praises. Anxiety eats her hvart out and nece.sities devour her purse. The story of her struggles is told over and over to her friends till their minds ore saturated with her burdens and yearn? ings. They worry over her, push her, in? troduce her, prais-3 her and regularly carry her. But time flies and she accomp.ishes nothing. At last she re iches the end of her financial string, and then cuber begins at the despised.!;jot of tho ladder and c.i.nbs slowly io the middle, possibly to the top, or else she goes b ick to her boma IU trie prov? inces a disappointed cni'embit.ered woman, who will be a stranger to every f >rm of happiness during the remainder of h_T life. Tnis luckless person frequently owes her failure to too much praise before she has really accomplished anything. Weli-moan ing, but injudicious friends give her such a flattering opinion of herself thai she scorns tha day of small beginnings, wants to jump im.-nediatc'y to the top, can't do it. and so misses her opportunities ax-i sinks into per? manent, obscurity. A famous woman said in my presence: "1 regard Theodore Tilton and Anna Dickinson as the two most conspicuous exemples of the evil results of too much praise at the outset of one 8 career. Nothing makes men or women so well able to stand on their fee* in public work as a few knock downs as first, with the privi? lege of getting up without help, it keeps them humble. The musical student not yet ready to launch, is another struggler. Bhe is here, in great numbers, invariably loaded with poverty and talent, wearing shabby gowns and invalid shoes, and literally living on a crust in fireless rooms. Her money goes for lessons, and she practices herself and her neighbors fairly into the grave. Sometimes her courage vanishes and she weeps and moans at the hardness of her fate, the hope? lessness of her immediate future. All these groans from the valley of despair somebody must listen to, for the talented struggler? crave sympathy when clouds hang low. That unfortunate somebody mast lend himself cr herself to the work of putting backbone Into the struggler, a thankies* task.whieh mu st be done over again the next day or next week perhaps. Any one who doesn't live In complete seclusion In New York goes around filled with the woes which the stragglers have poured into him. Theatrical and would-be theatrical people, arm in arm with pov? erty, confront one at every tum. They fairly reek with stories of their struggles-how managers have lied to them and rivals injured them. The ragged edge of anxiety is their couch and discomfort their closest chum. Thc tales of cruelty and brutality some of the women strugs?crs tell would doter any save tho most courageous from putting them? selves In the way of similar experiences. One persevering girl gave ap ths struggle after t*o yrara of fitful stage experience in a humble way. ."On" should be a horse, not a woman," she said, "to KO through the gateways of the theatrical profession. I am not a horse. I cannot endure what i* put upon mc So I give it up." Some of these impoverished ohsrishers cf talent crawl to a respetable place in their profession, a point where they can earn a decent livelihood. Even then th-y are sure of nothing. Some perish. A few, a very few. reach tho top. Others, discouraged, drop into various little scares by the way, such as disas? trous rnarrli?:es or crazy ente-rpribes that come to grief. Stlil others yield to the Inevitable pressure of poverty ami ali th? demons thal baffle tho striving and go ?bwn, do.vn into dark days of doom. Wr. ting talent does irs fui i share of struggling also. Unhappily, w:th a few exceptions, it never gets out of its struggles t-.lt the paie horseman releases it. Set lt down tn its credit, however, that Jt talks less about Itself anci its aspirations than dramatic talent The people et the pen learn carly that work, not talk, is the ihlnpr. luclpient poetasters aro prone to much tongue-wagging:to their own Klorincatiou, but pro? fessional wnters are too busy to prate much about th>-ir baffled hopes.
