WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 28. The Sumter Watchman was founded in 1S50 and the True Southron in 1866. The Watchman-and Southron now bas the combined circulation and influence of both of the old papers, and ?6 mani? festly the best advertising medium in Sumter -_ Attention Advertisers.

"TI?DITOBIAL ITEMS, The Financial and Commercial Chronicle stakes an instructive comparison of cotton manufacturing ta the South io the past sea? son with what it was in the census /ear 1879 -80. Then there were one hundred and sixty-four mills ; now there are two hundred and thirty-two. Then there were about half a minion spindles and twelve thousand looms ; now there, are more than a million spindles and twenty -four thousand looms. In 1879-80 the consumption of cotton was eighty-seven million pounds ; in 1886-87 it was more than a hundred and eighty-three millions. A Sew Yorker, who started ont sometime ago to ascertain the true condition of the Soutb- says that the "Southern people are on the eve of collecting: pay for the biggest cotton crop that they have ever raised. The people are going to have better crops than Dixie ever hitherto has dreamed of. Instead of backward steps, the South-is jjast taking on the full streugth of its development." This picture so far as the cotton crop is- concerned is-datwa with colors too bright. We believe, however, that oar people will be abie to square their accounts with their creditors and ?tart the new year with a clean score. The Republican party is possessed with the wild notion that the hereditary theory-, irres? pective of qualifications,, is ths right one. The fact that a man is the son of his father mest certainly have a powerful and.irresisti? ble charm over Republican voters. Fred Grant is nominated for Secretary of State of Kew York- It is not the stability and ability of the man bot the mere- name that has secur? ed this Bomisation for Fred Grant. The Re? publican pHrty is surely in a deplorable con? dition and sadly in need of material when their political success depends absolutely upon the name of a dead hero-. This lovely nomi? nee for Secretary of the State of New York b the poor little dupe of Ward and whose igno? rance and simplicity is the best evidence of hts incapacity for the high and responsible position for which he has been nominated. We have received with the compliments of Capt. F. W. Dawson, in handsome pamphlet, form, the annual trade review of the city of Charleston recently published in the columns of the Charleston Nezcs and Coiaritr. It con? tains an immense amount of interesting sta? tistical information about Charleston and Sooth Carolina, including the wonderful re- j cuperation of the city after the disasters suf- j ffered from storm and earthouake. In one .i year after the great destruction by earthquake, ! the city wa3 rebuilt and repaired at a cost of S4,294,775, of which Charleston spent $3, 680,000, independent of contributions, in the repair of 6.956 boasts and tue erection of 271 new ones, and during the same period she transacted a commercial business aggregating $66,279,541. Such a shewing, as the Xcics and Cou? rier says, "speaks more eloquently than words can speak of the audacious courage, . the unflagging perseverance, and the moral, intellectual and financial force of Charleston," and the jieople of the whole State, who feel, as they should that the State of South Caro? lina and the City of Charleston are one, can? not bnt congratulate themselves and feel proud of such a metropolis. A I^w"?ANl?~POirsX?mTEH. Capt. James M. Carson, who i3 working io the interest of the establishment of a bank here, has already on his- subscription book the som of eighteen thousand dellars, and he w;JI leave Sumter to-night for Charleston where he expects to get a considerable sum sub? scribed by the leading business men- of Charleston. For a number of years before the war Capt. Carson held a prominent position in the Charleston Bank and he ia thoroughly posted on banking affairs, and by reason of bit knowledge and na blemished integrity is the right mao to be intrusted with this g;?t en? terprise for the cition? of Sumter. Mr. G A. Norwood, president of the na? tional bank of Stamin S. C., was in Sumter on last Friday and Saturday in the interest of the establish aient of a baak here. Mr. j Norwood wants the citizens of Sumter to j subscribe to the stock of the proposed bank j and he offers to put in what deficit there might be to make a capita! of $50,000. The books for subscriptions were opened and in a itv minutes about $10.000 were subscribed ] among a few gentlemen. Mr. Norwood will ! return to Sumter in a few days. ANARCHICAL DISTURBERS OF SOCIETY. . The guilt of the condemned Chicago Anar- J chists having ben determined br due nrocess ! * j of law. any hesitation about executing thew j should be removed by the defiant attitude of j their supporters. The meering of the lawless j followers of .Most in New York on Monday, at [ which that pestilential creature advised a re? sort to violent and bloody measures in case the law should be enforced against his guilty associates, and threatened the legal author? ities with vengeance if they sbouid carry out the decree of the Court, ought to leave no j question about the doom of those convicted ! felons. Nothing would strengrhen the cause ! of anarchy more ihnn even aa appearance that ' sach threats had aa effect in preventing or j even delaying for a moment, the execution of j the law in the case of the Chicago convicts. ? As to the wretched character who at that j ? meeting worked up his lawless followers to a ; State of frenzy by his incendiary harangue, j te certainly rendered himself liable to punish- j ment by advising a resort to murder as a j means of interfering with the enforcement of ' the law. When he invokes the assistance of j, a mob of ruffians tn behalf of convicted naur- \ derers by the adview to "arm yourselves and j for every drop of blood th.it is ?bed from our ! friends let it cost a human life," it is about j , time for some action of :h* law that will put j i him where he can no longer endanger society i 1 and disturb the public peace. g :1-;-.-T?

Address W. L. Bell, Ed- ! ( itor and Publisher, Columbia, S. C. i1 A True Statement. MT. Editor : In view of the fact' that the article published in a late copy of the Char? lotte, X. C., Chronicle in regard to the arrest of Mr. J. I. Green, of Sumter, S. C, bas been copied by your paper, and for the purpose of correcting the impressions that have doubt? less been made on the minds of your readers throughout the County by the opinions of the Charlotte Editors, and not by the true facts connected with the arrest of our young fellow townsman, the undersigned begs leave to make tbefollowing sbitement in regard to the matter-a statement based upon what he knows to he the true facts of the case and upon what he knows the sentimeut of the people of Charlotte to be concerning it: Mr. John I. Green is but a victim of cir? cumstances. Any man who was accustomed to engage in an occasional gime of cards was as liable to-have been arrested in Charlotte for burglary, as our young fellow-towustnan. To use the words of an officer of the law in Charlotte : "Had Mr. Green been a citizen of Charlotte, he would never have been arrested, or if sof bis release would have immediately .foNowed the statement made by bim before trhe !?ayor." The article above referred to represents Mr. Green as appearing to be "well versed in police annals,"-a statement, or rather representation, stamped with the grossest icjustice, as has beer: clearly proven by the numerous letters that he bas received from the b?st peopie of the towns visited by bim d?riog the past year-letters in which their authors tender bim their sympathies and positively refuse to believe him capable of committing the crime with which he stands charged. Numbers of the best people of the city of Charlotte have called, and do call almost daily, to pay their respects and tender their sympathies to this unfortunate young man, and to protest their belief in his inno? cence. Is it possible that the good people of Charlotte, N. C., have bad their feelings aroused, to the extent that the Charlotte Press would indicate, and yet have showed such kindness to him whom they believed the offender? Mr. Yates, the gentleman whose house is said to have been burglarized, and the un? willing prosecutor in this ca3e against Mr. Green, avows openly that be "has no idea that Green was ever in the house." The un? dersigned, though in Charlotte for nearly a week, failed to fiud a single person who be? lieved that Mr. Green is guilty of the crime with which he stands charged. Prudence would not permit me to disclose the evidence for the defence. Suffice it to saj that when the proper time arrives, Mr. Green will produce such evidence "as will gain for him not ooh'an acquittal, but an honorable acquittal, and return to his native County if he so desires-as free from crime as when be left a year ago. It ?3 only asked that the good people of Mr. Green's native County and of the State will suspend judgment until he has an opportunity of proving to them that he is still worthy of the good name given him, a few weeks ago, by a well known citi? zen of Sumter, in a letter to the Charlotte Chronicle-a letter which confirmed the opin? ions formed by the majority of the Charlotte people with regard to Mr. Green. In justice to Mr. J. I. Green you are re? quested to give space in your paper to thu brief statement by A FRIEND AND ATT'Y. The Business of Charleston. SUMTER CO., Sept. 26, 1887. i Mr. Editor: The reasons for the decrease of 1 cotton receipts in Charleston are very easy to ' rind if Charleston people and papers wish to Snd them, and- will see them when found. I ?aw some account sales of cotton from Wil? mington, in which the expenses of selling a Dale cost 50 cents and the freight, and out of the eight bales sold, some had lost two lbs., some nothing and one had gained two lbs., md I hear that it costs 30 cents and the . reight in Columbia, without loss of weight. f Don't that tell the whole story plainly ?nough for the News and Cwrier and Cotton Exchange men? Besides this, who ever aear?l of its costing less than two collars and i half per bale and the freight, while every >ne naturally expects a loss of not less than len pounds in weight to the ba*e io Charles? es? It is ridiculous to answer facts as , itated in the excellent letter from Sumter not I ong since and other sources, by saying it ? s made with a desire to injure Charles- j ;on, and by persons who have lost their ; ?redit, etc., etc. It is not bard to teil j low they have lost their credit if they are >.b!e to tell so mnch, about Charleston trade ; tod thc vigorous defense of their methods by j t :he News and. Courier a.nd the tradesmen, j L groves to outsiders, if not to them, there is i s something to be credited to these bankroot j s :'trade assassins." It would be as nonsensical j "or the people of this State to wish carelessly ;o injure their own inlet and outlet of trade, is for an individual to wish spitefully to mis? ase the teeth in his mouth, nevertheless if one 1 >r two be decayed be ?3 apt to wish them et- i traded. The Charleston Sun will do a great < leal of good, and more to Charleston than i anywhere else by continuing to tell the truth ibout business and other things, (though I think the proprietor badly mistaken about the Mayor) and by letting in the light will do a jreat deal to do away with ali of this talk ?ve hear about "prejudices against Charles? ton." Let Charleston give just weights and rharge no more commissions than neighbor ;ag cities and she will no longer have so Dany bankrupt customers grumbling against :er trade methods. "FA RM ER." Kew Salem Items. IONIA, Sept. 23, 1887. Sr. Editor .* To-morrow is the day for the mass meeting at Mr. McCaskill's Mill con .ernin-- *ae new County. Since thinking "...er the matter I have come to the conclusion that there are only a few that are so ioterested io the formation of a new County. Well, I jay few-there may be more than a few ; but I will tell you who that few is : Every man in five miles of Bishopville thinks that the Court House ought to be on his land. Weil, of course, they want the new County. About every other nan up this way thinks that he ought to hold some office, and he is satisfied if the new County is formed, that he is sure to get one of the many offices. It is with them like it is in our ??resent County. I hear that there are only twenty who expect to run for Sheriff next time, and every one thinks that be is sure to be elected. His friends tell him that bc is the man ; but. alas! just think of the nineteen long-faced defeated ; how they will take out their handkerchiefs to wipe their eves, but stop i: at their nose. So it will be with all other defeated candidates. A protracted meeting h:is just closed at Salem. Rev. J T. Kilgo preached some able sermons. Congregations were- iar;_re and at? tentive, but nota great deal of interest was j manifested. .Mrs. S. A. Collins is still very sick. The weather is still very dry."

C., 16th August, 18IC, and was raised by christian parents. During his long life of usefulness, we never heard cf a single word or saw au act or deed against bis spotless character. He was one of the most practical and suc? cessful planters of the ?Sute, and his energy and fair dealings with all bis fellow-men, made hil success; he did accumulate consid able property in "ante-bellum" days. He WHS a member of the Baptist Church, he had liberal christian views, taking his Lord and Master's "Sermon on the Mount," as a pattern, practicing those 11 Golden Pre? cept*." While on a visit to Summerton the latter part of August, he was taken with a stroke of paralysis on the 2d, and died 5th of Sep? tember, 1SS7. He died as he had lived, in peace with God and love to all mankind, passing away without a single struggle, with a smile on his face. His remains were taken to the Hills Church, in Sumter County, the 5th September, and interred by the side of his departed wife, leaving three sons and two daughters and a number of relatives and friends to mourn the loss of one who was loved by all who knew the noble, pure, good man. "Wherefore wbosever beareth these sayings of raine, and doeth them, I will liken bim unto a wise man, which built his house upon a rock." J. R. P. Darlington papers please copy. Immense. Mr. B. R. Nash, a representative of W. Duke, Sons & Co. is at home on a short va? cation. Mr. Nash bas been most successful on the road, and now stands foremost among the many leading traveling salesmen of the United States. In conversation with bim on yesterday morning we obtained the following facts and figures which will give our readers an idea of the immensity of the business done by his house: 'August, 18S7, 60,324,540 cigarettes, or about as many as the combined output of any other two factories in (he United States. This would be a cigarette for every inhabitant of the United States, with a few extra ones for visitors. If placed end to end they would extend 2,618 miles, or across the Continent from the Atlantic to the Pacific Oceans, or from Bostan to London. Should one ciga? rette be smoked each minute, day and night, without i intermission, it would take 115 years to consume this quantity, Their production required a cash expenditure of nearly $200, 000.00, including $30,000.00 paid for labor -used over 20 cases best French rice paper, and 300 hhds., fine leaf tobacco, have given employment to over 1,200 people, and paid them wages averaging ?1-25 per day for men, women and children. The Medical College of S. C. We are in receipt of the "Annual An? nouncement of the Trustees and Faculty" of the above named institution, for the "Fifty ninth Annual Commencement, session of 1887-S8," which will begin October 15tb. We make the following extracts from the An? nouncement : The demolition by an earthquake of our old and classic building, with its massive col? umns of Ionic order, within whose walls for more than half a century thousands have prosecuted their medical studies, has proved to her alumni and lo those interested in her welfare au event of historic and momentous import. * * * The destruction of so great a part of this venerable building neces? sitated an entire remodeling of its interior ar? rangements, while the irreparable ruin of its ?xternal construction compelled us to con? demn the characteristic architectural features )f the edifice, which, therefore, have been re? placed by modern embellishments of perhaps iqual beauty though divorced from all tradi? tional ancientness. * * * It may indeed ae said that the present appointments and lppliaoces, for convenience, comfort and thorough instruction in medical science ba.*e ransformed this Institution into the most )eiftrct of its kind, at present, in the South. - mmP ? -^m^ Corbett's Mili Items. lom, S.
