WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 21. Thc Sunder Watchman was founded in 1850 and the True Southron in 1866. The Watchman and Southron now has the conibinei circulation and influence t>f both of the old papers, and is mani? festly the best advertising medium in * Sumter Attention Advertisers. The Watchman and Southron will hereafter be published on Wednesday, and advertisements should be sss* in not later than Tuesday afternoon. Changes of contract advertisements must be made Monday morning. A DISEASE AND A REMEDY'. Mr. P. G. Bowman, Jr., of the Bishopville Enterprise according to his own acount is in a bad fix. By reason of the arduous duties of journalisa his head is growing smaller every day. Josh Billings says when a man's* bead "begins to shrink and the process cf mental de? cay-is enormous that it is caused by some par? vicnlar hobby or wild delusion, and that rest m .? change of climate is the only remedy for the unfortunate while the mind is under the enbtile influence of hallucinations. Under the extreme circumstances of our friend's case, we would be very happy to have him com? down and stay with ns. To the extent ?f orrr means we will try to treat him royally. D?ring the parred of your rest, old fellow, we could go around and find out what a glo? rious County ours is. is IT ?TG0O1T0R"1BAD^LAW? The tendency of the times is to disregard the law. This is demonstrated by rhe ma? jority of the citizens of this country when it suits their purposes to do so. The eiEcacy of many of the statutes of this State is very questionable while others are mere dead let? ters that have ceased long ago to ascaat to anything. The carrying of concealed weaposs affords | abundant proof that the law is either a bad ! one or that those in charge of the administra- ! tioD of justice do not discharge their duty by taking the necessary steps to have this law enforced whenever and wherever it is violated. Which is it? Whenever a law is not backed op by the organized sentiment of the people it ought to be repealed. In a word7 is the carrying of j concealed weapons a good or bad law ? A REGRET. . Mndr of our space is taken up this week by j a number of new advertisements and conse- J quent!y editorials and several communications : have been crowded out, for which we will j make amends next week by enlarging our ; apace. A very important communication which j {tires a correct statement of Mr. John I. j Green's case will appear in our next issue, j This communication is written by a gentle- j maa who is thoroughly acquainted with the ! facts of the case and whose lofty character j will give additional weight to every word of the article. ! An ASray. ?n response to a message from a colored ! jean to the effect that the Sheriff wanted to J see him, Col. R. XI. Wallace was on his way j to. the Court House on last Monday morning i when he was met by ?. G. Bowman. Esq. I who inquired of him if he had said that he (Bowman) had drawn some $3,400 out of the ! Bank of Sumter from its cashier, Charles E. j Rrrlett without having any deposit in Bank \ to biscife&rt, and upon this inquiry being an- j twered io the aificmative. ilr. Bowman struck ?' Col. Wallace twice with his cane and was in ! The act of striking him the thiid time when j Col. Wallace succeeded in taking the cane ! away from his assailant, at which point of j the affray .Mr. Bowman drew his pistol and j it is reported attemp?ed*to shoot. These un- i friendly proceedings weie abruptly brought to j a close by the police force. Both parties were required to put up SlO dollars for their j appearance tse nest morning before the Police J Court, before which tribunal yesterday morn- j ?ng Mr. Bowman pleaded guilty to thc charge of fighting, and to that of carrying concealed j weapons be informed the Court that they ! would have prove it, which, however, was j not proven and the penalty of $25 was only j required of XIr. Bowman for the first offence, j There being no charges preferred against Col. Wallace, Court adjourned sim ck. ..Prettiest in the New County " A bewitching damsel of the St. Luke's ! neighborhood has sent word to us that "tte I prettiest girls in the New County" will be at i .the Hot Supper which will ce giver, at the | residence of Mr. W.

Wilson, i (published below,) was read and a committee j appointed to consider the feasibility of the j Company going to Atlanta, and to take such j action a3 might be deemed proper to aceom- j yligh the purpose. The Commit te held a ! steering last night at which it was decided tu ' give a dinner during the day. and a supper j and refreshments at night on Monday October 1 10th, to raise funds to assist the Company ir. i ?.king the trip as proposed.

Judge Hudson, of South Carolina, has printed in the Charleston Netos and Courier a series of articles upon the criminal law, and has suggested sundry changes which he thinks will secure the enforcement of justice and the vindication of the law. The people of the Palmetto State owe Judge Hudson a vote of thanks for his wise and just counsels. It is true that the Judge is harassed by a doubt as to whither it is proper for him to speak so opeuly and unreservedly about the criminal procedure in his State, inasmuch as he is upon the bench. But we cannot conceive of any reason why he should not enlighten his peo? ple, and it is manifest that a review of the operations of the law and its defects com? with great force from an able and conscien? tious jurist. What he has to say therefore, should-carry weight with it, for be is consci? entious, and his only desire is that the law shell be enforced justly?and speedily in South Carolina. ; The recommendations made by the judge are five in td\\ ta wit: (1.) That the office of coroner be united with that of the leading trial justice at each county seat, (except in Charleston,) who shall be required to bea lawyer, and that be shall be required to col? lect carefully the evidence io tbe cases before him and to prepare the cases for the solicitor ; that he should also atteud the trial and assist the solicitor in the prosecution. (2.) That the full panel of petit jurors be forty-eight, the de? fendant's right of challenge remaining as it is, and the State's challenges-being increased to five, at least. (3i)iTi?t iff- the trials for capital o?eoces the jury shall not be allowed to separate nu til the verdict is rendered. (4.) That the Judge shall have the right to "sum j up'' in his charge by a review of tue evidence. \ (5.) That the right of bail to canvicts pend? ing appeal be discretionary with the Judges. j There is virtue in these recommendations which must be apparent even to those who j are not lawyers. When, as Judge Hudson shows at length, public feeling puts the State in the attitude of a defendant ; when the mur? derer kaows that the State's attorney cannot ordinarily sufficiently prepare the case for trial ; when, he knows that be can get bail, and when the trial comes, be can select his jury ; when he Sees that the judge is powerless -it is no wonder that murders are so frequent and that men accused of crime are so often acquitted. And what is tree of South Caro? lina is true of most of the States. If Judge Hudson's articles only set men to thinking they will not have ?een barren of results. Wilmington Messenger. An Interesting Letter. - ? ?? ? SUMTER, S. C., Sep. 17, 1887. Mr. Editor: Having made a recent tour Through Lancaster County and being so fav? orably impressed with that delightful section of our State, I ara induced to write a line or two concerning the same. There are several mineral springs in that County that in the course of further developments touching their medicinal properties are destined to attract tbe attention of bealth-seekers of this and foreign countries. These springs may prove to be sources of great wealth to Lancaster County in the future. I am informed that the efficacy of the waters of these springs almost amount to a panacea. The virtue of the waters of Carterville in comparison with the waters of these "springs ceases to be con? sidered as a virtue, although I am told that many of the citizens of Sumter have drank enough of the Carterville water this summer J either to kill them outright or to insure them ! against ali diseases hereafter. Owing to poor railroad facilities the great resources of Lancaster Count}' are totally undeveloped, but upon the completion of the 3 C's this County will enjoy a boom that her four gold mines with all of their precious dust may create as big a stir as that enjoyed by Birmingham at present. Although cotton is the principal staple of agriculture produced by the farmers of Lan? caster County, yet they are ahead of us in this County on diversified crops. They have awakened to the reality that two crops during the year (oue in the Spring, the other in the Fall) are absolutely necessary to keep money in circulation and topre'vent the farmers from being completely handicapped by the strin? gency cf the money-market The farmers of Lancaster County have caught the true idea and spintof the Farmers' Movement. They believe in coming together j as one household and acting upon the princi pie that a house divided against itself cannot : stand. And what i have seen of them I will ' nredict right here that the price and regula-j lions of negro labor generally will be the matters discussed and attended to by them at j their meetings and not politics in particular, j Lancaster County is fast becoming noted j for its vine_vards. Large quantities of wine j are shipped from Lancaster Couuty annually. I Among some inj extra fine plantations! ! noticed in Lancaster County was that of Mr. J James Massey whose posassions in this one j tract cover over 1950 acres of land of the j finest character, which is most excellently i situated for factories, mills and similar insti- ! tutiocs. j The hospitality of the people of Lancaster ! is unbounded, and if lhere is any one thing ! she has a right to be proud of it is the rare j beauty and refinement of her lovely daugh? ters ; and well may South Carolina say of them thar, "These are my jewels." Respectfully, ENGLISH DESCHAMPS. - - -mmmm St Luke Items. ST. LUKE, S. C., Sep. 17, 1887. Mr. Edit'-r: After a drouth of many weeks, nature has bounteously lengthened out her watery mantle and has lavishly quenched the thirst of our almost dried up part of the coun- ! try. Had the intense hot weather we have been having continued fora week orso longer, our potato and pea crops would have amount? ed" lu a complete failure. As it is, grave doubts are entertained as to whether these crops will turn out half a yield. I have heard a great many farmers say before the rain, that it would aol take much longer for their wells to go dry or unfit for ase. " T?^ay-rt^-^coDfd" n^e~ot^tTt??1[e*fl?'(l tt^ ' Black River Club played a game of bal. about 3 miles from here. As the latter club expe- t rienced a defeat nt thc hands of the former ? club some time ago, ii was expected that the j Black t\:rer nine would either defeat or hold j the St. Luke nine a pretty close game, but the score proved e;uite the revers?. St. Luke 20. Bhuk River 8.* On the 27?h inst, the young ladres of St. Luke will give a hot supper for the purpose of nibing funds needed in repairing the .Methodist Church, which is undergoing quite extensive improvements. This will aSToro the young men an opportunity to spend a few j d;me3 in resisting thc ladies in furthering the accomplishment of a most worthy end. This j supper will be the first of the season, and it will iX doubt be thc supper of the season, at | least the young ladies will do their part to make it so, ar?} it is only left for the young men to do theirs. The supper will be given ut Mr. William DesChamps.' Cotton ia being rapidly gathered from the j fields at the sta-udard price of 40 cents per ? hundred. This is a very quiet par! of the country just at present, but things will brighten un when the working season is over. C 3. L. Chill and Fever Conquered.

Finally tried Dr. King^s New Discovery for Consumption ?nd found im? mediate relief, and after using about a half dozen bottles found himself well and has had no return of the disease.
