fie f??a$mas m? Soutton." _ / ?_ "WEDNESDAY? SEPTEMBER 7. The-Suttsit? Watchman was founded r " . in 1S5? and the True Southron in 1S66. The Watchman and Soitthron now has the combined circulation and influence of both of the old papers, a?d is mar? festly the best advertising medium in Suroter. Attention Advertisers. The Watchman ern? Southron will hereefter be published on Wednesday, and .advertisemefrts should be sent in Dot -rater than Tuesday afternoon. Changes of contract advertisements must be made Monday morning. *Tbe Sumter Watchman and South ron prints a vigorous editorial attacking President Wallace, of-the Sumter bank, charging that Bartlett's defalcation] would "bave been impossible rf ^Colonel Wallace had used the vigilance his; trust demanded. Furthermore, the' Watchman and Southron prints an ex tract from the by-laws of the bank. We were pleased to find the directors receiving their share of the censure. Col. Wallace's record as a Republican office-holder makes him liable to be jumped oa by almost any newspaper, , but j*erve is required for arraigning in-' fiaential business men, who are more &rtunate and who have friends on ail sides. We congratulate the Watchman and Southron on its pluck, whatever the merits of this particular question may be. Fear of the commercial, political and general influence of the *big men' of a community is the worst evil the press of this country suffers from. Character and position are entitled to respect, but they ought not to be fcrti ^ fications behind which faults can be entrenched from exposure and criti cism. It is the right and the duty of an honest newspaper to hit hard when the truth demands it, regardless of the position of the sinner. We hope to see the day in this coun try when no man will have dollars enough; or a place high enough, to ! make him exempt from the punishment a newspaper can always give for wrong doing.? Charleston Daily Sun. We did not jump on Col. Wallace j because be is or had been a republican. Bis arraignment before the bar of pub lic opinion was for the reason of his gross nealigence in the management jo? l?ie affaira of the bank. The com plexion of his political faith had noth ing to do with it whatever. A true-blue democrat would have been jerked up just as quickly and treated to the same amount of censure if the circumstances of the case demanded it. The only j true policy for a fair and square journal | to pursue. We agree with the Sun in the opin ion that many of our papers are very weak-kneed, and that the syco phancy of the press generally is nau seating 4n the extreme. "STAY AT HOME7??R. DAVIS." In one of the dime museums at Bos s ton .there is a wooden image labeled, 'The Scarlet Beast of Revelation.' It is a cross between a rhinoceros, a horse and a sea serpent, and resembles noth ing in the heavens above, on the earth i below, or in the waters under the earth. It was invented by a shrewd Yankee, who knew that it would draw a crowd and fill his treasury with the shekels of the Boston people who strive after the j unknowable. Barnurn added Jumbo to his greatest show on earth, and Fore paagh batched up a yellow 'white ele- j phantT to add to the fading wonders of his tent3. All this was in the direct line j of the business Gf deceivieg the public. The public knew it, and were anxious. to be deceived. But now come the people of Macon, I . Ga., who propose to beat all previous j exhibitions in the South by hauling Ex- j President Davis, in a 'special bedroom i car/ all the way from his quiet home on the banks of the Mississippi to make a Georgia holiday. There are to be ten ?cgmasters, a review of the veterans in the State Fair Park, and 'the grandest reception ever given in 'the entire coun trv.'?A7 *rs and Courier. A more unbecoming and undignified j O C j editorial it has never been our misfor tune to read. Such is not our idea of the editorial function. Such is not our notion of personal kindness or party fealty. Mr. Davis has been invited to S Attend the Genrsia State Fair at Macon ! ? i en October 25th. and he has accepted I the iuvitatiou. That is all right. This j is a free country and if it is the pleas- j ere and desire of the people of Georgia ! in general and the citizens of Macon in particular tc m;ve Mr. Davis with th.m j on tnis or on any other occasion it is , nobody's hufiucss but theirs. If the \ Republican bosses want to raise a howl ; about it, and try to fioal under the \ eloud of sectional hatred to Washing- : ton, why let them howl for ail they arc j worth. The people of this country are ; not fools and cannot be influenced one | hair's breadth by such a political trick, j It is too old. It has been tried and it ! won't wor?r. Tue T?ntes and Courier ' knows it. i et it says tiiat *it seems j almost as if mere were s'me sinister; purpose in inviting Mr. Davis to Macon j so near the time of President Cleve- ; laud's visit to Atlanta.' What makes ! it >o? Mr. Davis is as good as Mr. j Cleveland. Is it a positive wroog for j two good men to be in the same State at or near the same time ? We should \ say not. ] It is almost ridiculous to entertain i I the idea that the political blood hounds j of the North wiil even try to make same I out of Mr. Davis' visit to Macon in Oc- I tober, although one of the most infiaen- i tial aii-i leading of Southern journals ! has given the first yelp as the sigual ! that the gen nine trail of the bloody- ; shirt has been struck at last. H03BBRY OF B?ISX3. j The New York Tribune: 'Let 1 ev-.-ry B.;ard of Directors employ an j expert, able to take the place of j president, cashier, bookkeeper and tel- \ }of. Let liAn b<c eat powered to my to jour assets to-day,' or to teller; *I wi?l settte your cash to-night,' or 'you go off on a week's vacation, I will take your place,' or to a bookkeeper : 'I will write up your books and the customers' books for a week while you go fishing.' If, they are honest they will be glad of a vacation any time, and if dishonest they ought to bave gone long before. What employee woal-d 4&re te steal the first dollar if he knew that his accounts might withiu one ho*r i>e examined ? Not one. It wo?Id not cost ?150,000, but would cost some moral courage on the part of the directors.' The above may not be bad advice to give to all who may be interested in the establishment of another bank in Sum tcr. YC TJ?N G ~M?N. The Piltsloro Record says: 'The young men of North CaroEira are rap idly becoming the leading educators of the State, and are wielding an influence that few are aware of. Many of the most prominent editors and school teachers of the State are young men under thirty years of age?some of them feeing almost beardless youths. We note this r*ith much pleasure and think it a matter of public congratula tion . "w?oLThat DEH?cRATS. One of the features of the torchlight procession in Atlanta during the presi dent's visit will be two companies^ of original 'wool hat democrats,'organized by Clark Ilowell, Sr., brother of the editor of the Constitution. They will be dressed in copperas breeches, yellow boots, hickory shirts and one 'gallus,' witb rosettes of corn shuck, and coon tail plumes for their slouch bats. They utterly refuse to handle the new fangled torches, but each one will swing a light wood knot from the butt end of a pine. They will march in two compauies, and it will be known as the battalion of orig inal democrats. The Rev. Samuel Sma'l is a tempe rance man. If you don't believe it, just read what be has to say on the sub ject : 'When you go to Heaven and Christ asks you what about this liquor question?how did you vote on it while j on earth, and you say, 'Well I have the Chicago platform here, I took it and 1 stuck to it.' lie will pnt you and the j platform in hell together.' The most horrible thing we have read I of lately was the attempt to disguise a stolen horse by cutting out his eyes. What a shocking spectacle ! The fellow, who had the heart to commit this dia bolical crime, ought to be marched up ia front of this poor mutilated brute and have his eyes cut out too. An eye for an eye is the law that ought to be meted out to him. A Short Study for Farmers. It is time that the farmers had some friends in the Congress-. Th?y do not need protection, but they do need jus tice.

Wilmington Star. The News and Courier published on the 1st a review of the trade and progress of Charles toc, which cannot but give great satisfaction to ail the people of South Carolina, as they are thus assured by facts and figures of the r?cup?ration of our metropolis from her great misfortunes, and of her sound business footing, and of the material advancement also of the whole State. True and Reliable. The old ard reliable clothing establishment of D. J. Wien has entered the commercial campaign this Fall and it means to bead the people's ticket so far as selling the greatest amount of clothing is concerned. This estab lishment has a record for reliability that beats the world. Mr. Winn and Mr. W. R. Shaw have just returned from the North where tbey purchased a large and stperb stock of clothing that will suit the most fas tidious taste of every citizen ia Sumter Coun ty.

It is with proud satisfaction that we call the attention of the citizens of this State to the superior educational advantages afforded by our institutions of learning in Suinter. Without the least desire to reflect upon the progress and excellency of other schools in South Carolina, the pubric generally are forced tc admit that the success and r?puta tion achieved by our schools for their superior educational work have been attained by few in the State. The Sumter High School with its thorough and complete course of study is a most excel lent academy for young men and boys. The course of study in thisschool has been recently re-arranged, revised and perfected with great skill and care, and so constituted as <o meet the growing needs of our rapidly improving community, both rural and urban. Prof. L. W.Dick and Prof. A. C. Mclntosh, princi pals of the Sumter High School, and who took the first honors in their classes in -one of the first co-leges in the South, desire to invite j your attention to the fact that students wisb I ing subsequently to enter college can step j right from their school into the freshman or higher classes thereof, while those who close their scholastic years within the walls of ibe Sumter High School may emerge full-armed for all the contests of active and practical life. The Sumter Institute is an institution of learning second to none in the State. Its walls have been recently added to and extend ed over considerable more space and the ap- ] pliances to secure ventilation, comfort and health are complete and satisfactory. The grounds are well arranged ana* attractive, the j situation healthful and pleasing, and the building and surroundings are well cnlculated to suggest and cultivate a true and refined taste. St. Joseph's Academy is of the highest standard -T within whose walls the greatest care is taken to protect and improve the mor als and manners of their pupils and to secure in every way the highest attainable culture. The Eclectic College, although just in its second year of existence, is a school that pos sesses many strong points in it3 prescribed course of study that will soon bring it into prominence. The head of this college will be sustained by a corps of assistants who will teach in their several departments*. The Misses Hurst's Primary and Interme diate School is one of the best of its kind acy where. These ladie3 know how to teach successfally, and so thoroughly are their scholars drilled in the rudiments of learn ing that very little or no trouble is had with tUeni in this respect when they are pupils of higher graded schools. A golden opportunity is offered by Mr. T. P. McQueen to all those who desire to take private instructions in any branch of study. Mr. McQueen is an able and experienced in structor and his method of teaching is ana lytical and practica!. It will be seen at a glance that Sumter's educational advantages are most superior. Messrs. J. B. Roach and James White, of Sunder, have been drawn as Petit Jurors to serve at the October term of the Uuited States District Court. G. L. and C. W. Kingman. These gentlemen have opened a first class establishment in Sumter and now have on band a complete and varied stock of general merchandise which they are offering to the public at the Icizest living j>riccs. Their gro I ceries are the freshest and purest that the market can afford, aud the citizens of this County will only be taking care of their dol lars by giving them a trial before investing elsewhere. "Quick sales and small profits" is the motto of this establishment. Upon which principle every anicle in their well-filled store is sold to one and all. Head their ad vertisement and profit thereby.

Mas.wjlis, Aug. ?3, *LSS7. Mr. Editor: The Baptists bad two very en joyable days at Antioch Church last Saturday and Sunday. According to appointarc-nt, several Sunday Schools came together and organized a Baptist Sunday Institute, There were a number of very interesting addresses made, among the number was one by our dis tinguished citizen, Col H. E. L. Peebles. The whole affair was entertaining and full of promise. The next meeting will be. held with the Cedar Creek Sunday School on Friday before the 1st Sunday in October, I8SS. Mr. J. W. Davis, cur neighbor, is very ill, but not thought dangerously so. Mr. Wil liam Lawson of Green County, Tennessee, who was selling lightning rods in our County, is at Dr. C. S. Britton's, also quite sick and has been for the past eight weeks. Mr. R. Cope land who is now So years old is suffering from a stroke of paralysis. He can go about the house notwithstanding his extreme age, and that he is partly paralyzed. What a wonder ful man i May we not Attribute his long life and wonderful strength to his exceeding moral habits. Not long since he told me that he bad never taken the name of God in vain, nor taken a sing"!? chew of tobacco: nor was ever intoxicated in the 'east. What an ex ample fer young men. Mansville. St. Luke Items. S?. Luke, Sept. 5, 1888. Mr. Editor: Presuming that news from this section of the county will be of interest to you and to your readers who live in other portions of this county and to the public in general, I will write something of what there is to be said of this portion of Sumter County which is part of the proposed new county. The farmers of this rich section of country are busHy engaged in harvesting their cotton. Just at present this King (cotton) of our country is picked (at.) or. ail sides by our brothers in black. Both the corn and cotton crops are said to be very good, but they are not as good as they indicated seven weeks ago. On last Saturday quite an interesting game of bail was played between the Black River Club, and the second nine of this neighbor hood. Although the fiashv uniforms of the former club was calculated to dazzle and charm their opponents, *lill the latter club after playing a very close game, proved the better as is shown by the score 18 to 20. The citizens of this section are still discus sing the formation of the new county and they are confident of success. Although your correspondent is temporarily a resident of this neighborhood, and one who has no more interest in this section than any other except Sumter, he must say viewing the situ ation from a neutral standpoint, there are a great many good reasons and strong grounds i why these people should have a new county. The St. Luke Church is having a new coat j of paint put on it and other repairs are being done. After this church is finished it will no J doubt be one of the prettiest country churches j for many miles around. C. S. L. 1 Hot Supper. Mechanicsville, S. C, Sept. 5, 1887. Mr: Editor: It is whispered in our ears that during the moonlight nights of October there wiSl.be an entertainment or Hot Supper at Mr. T. Scott DuBose's new and commodious house, for the benefit of {iRerabert's Church." Repairs are absolutely required, owing to the injuries the ceiling has received from the earthquake.
