^WEl?S?BSDAYvPCTOBEK 10. Toe Sumter Watchman was founded iii 1850 and the True Southron in 1866. T?ie Watchman and Southron- nov bas the combined circulation and influence of both of the old papers, and is maoi 4estly the best advertising medium" in FOR: PRESIDENT, CLEV?LAKD, OF NEW YORK. TOR. ViGS-PP.ES10ENT, M 0 THURMAN, ; OF OHIO. ? AN ZMFOSTAKT SUBJECT. Many ace' satisfied that the Trial Anstice system as ? feature of our juris prudence is very defective and that drt^ejrg^to be taken looking toa wtdieel .change ia that part of our court .?nacatnery. It is held by not a few that COUD ty Courts would be a decided ,iiiaprovement upon our present Trial ^Justice system! Tbe introduction of Conn ty Courts in South Carolina could hardly be looked upon bj 'our legisla? dora tn tbe Tight of an experiment, in? asmuch as they have ?iven entire satis* faction wherever established in other States in this Union, Afc any- Tate the substitution is worth the trying. This M a most important subject and H ought : to demand the serious attention of our next General Assembly. The Grand J ury, of Marlboro County, at their last term .o? Court, made the - following presentment : ; . After taking into consideration the :~Trial Justice systeir, concerning which. K> much dissatisfaction exists among our people, we have concluded that the substitution of a county court with com? mitting magistrates or notaries in dif? ferent sections of the county who shall have power only to issue warrants of arrest, is far preferable to the present state of affairs as they now exist. And we recommend that our Senator and Representatives io the next General ^ Assembly use their influence to this eui* orra Traar A Bia MEETING. The Hon. William Elliott, member of Congress from tbe Seventh District will adere? the citizens of Mayesvilie *on next Wednesday, 17th instant, and^ eu the following day, Thursday 18th, lie will speak to the citizens of Bis hop? eville. We feel conSdeot that Mayesvilie ?od Bishop vii ie will do tbe right thing 50B these occasions by giviog our Con? gressman big and enthusiastic meetings. Turn out one and all and show the Hon. William .'Elliott what-you propose to do at the polls not only for him -but "tor South Carolina on 6? of November ?ext. IS HS NOMINATED ? -We have been informed by Mr Altamont Meies who. went to the Deai ooratic Congressional Convention which r -?et at-Mount Pleasant on the. 27th of last month to nominate a candidate for Congress, that he was the only delegate from this County and M>\ Walter ftaxard of Georgetown, was the only delegate from bis County For the looks of the thing, however, we are told that the vacancies in the Sumter dele? gation and thoseja.the Georgetown del? egation were Siled by persons picked up \ here and there in Mount Pleasant, -if j tbe democrats of the Seventh District 1 want a representative io Congress they should manifest some little interest in rho nomination of a candidate and not ?ct rn such a way as to lead the outside world to believe that they are totally indifferent about so important a matter. WHAT IS A DEADLOCK ? A deadlock is a thing that delegates, j .who, perhaps, have plowed sil the sum? mer to make a little corn and cotton to keep body and soul together for the re;:t .of the year pay very dearly to know something about. Its qualities for en? durance arc most admirable aad os this accoooi, if for cone other, it is entitled tc some little consideration by the dis gusted democrats of the Third Jodicial District. , JL CURIOUS QUESTION. , We were asked the other day if all the same postmasters woutd be re.-ap pointed. As, a matter of course if Har? rison and 3?orton are elected our post? masters will be bu.st?ed out io a burry in the cold world ; but if Cleveland and Thurman are elected they will sHli le permitted to enjoy tnt-ir share of the public pap._ LET US ALL JOIN. Ooe of the chief vi*tues said to be j possessed by the Farmers' Alliance is j that it will not dabble into politics, that j itsaims and purpose* are io a diff?rent j direction, and that its constitution pro titbits the participation of anything that | even hnks to that eod. No doubt, j many a good and honest farmer who ! has a pronounced distaste and aversion j to politics joins the Alliance principally | npon that guarantee. But experience j ooly confirms the old saying that there i are tricks iu ail trades, and that io these j days one can hardly tell the good from j 4h? bad, the genuine from tho spurious, j and so it goes. j We all have an idea what sort of a thing thc Farmers' Movement is, but! we are not so wctt acquainted yet with j the Alliance Movement. It may be j good. It n>3y be bad. The Oherirte ] Reporter has unearthed a lefter marked j ?Pi, vate/ written by ?oo G. Ked foam, j a prominent Alliance raam, and wbio may gi ve a faint idea as to tho Alliance" political proclivites. Here is an ex tract from it : 'CHESTERFIELD. S. C. i x . 'Angnst 14,1888. ?Dear 'Sir and Brother: You ar aware that our County President, F. P Taylor is a candidate for tte Legisla tare. And that whoever tho Allianc supports will he elected, lt cannot b otherwise because we have more than thousand voters in ranks. Tue questioi is, will we allow . worthy . members o our order be defeated by lawyers am outsiders ? Can we afford to give then this stick to crack our heads With ? .Of course, if Taylor is defeated bi Rankin, it will be the fault of the Alli ance and will make a sere bard to beal. Tn giving an account of'the proceed ings of the Judicial Convention whicl was held at Georgetown last*weefc, tbi Georgetown Enquirer says : t4lt is understood that Mr. Eh rici suggested that each candidate should io turn be run against his two opponent separately, the delegates having firs been put under oath to vote on ead ballot according to their conscientious convictions ;' ,that the number of vote; cant for each candidate shoald be addec up and the one. receiving "the lowest ag gregate vote should be dropped, tnt remaining twi> then to go j^fore th< convention to be balloted for. At thc suggestion of the Sumter chairman, thc plan was modi Sed so as to make the pre* liminary lilloting secret, none of tb? votes to be counted on til all of the bal? lots had been cast. 'Buring the interval of 35 usin?tes in which the resolution was being pre? pared, great confusion was caused io the coart room by the cheers and ecttn tercheers of hilson and GiUand men, most of whom were spectators. ''The- Gilland delegates refused to agree to anything, and the Sumter dele? gation could uei be induced to act solid? ly on the proposition, so that it fell through." fFron^oor Regalar Correspondent.) WASHINGTON IrBTTSSL WASHKGTOS, D. C., Oct. 5, 1833. Chief Justice Fuller will be sworn in on Monday It is ove4^ half a century since we bad a Democratic Chief Justice sworn in, General Andrew Jackson having appointed xloger B. Taney to that position in ,1836. Let us all hope that Justice Fuller will prove a worthy successor of Justice Taney, Senator Coefcrell made a cassi ie reply to Senator Hale's goody-goody speech in regard to tbe circular issued by Gen. Benet in relation to equalizing the two political parties in the Government em? ployes at tbe armories and arsenals. He opened bis remarks by reading the Jay Hubbell bulldozing circular, to Government employes, issued daring the campaign of 1880, which was signed by Senators Allison, Hale. Aldrich, and Hi-cook. He then quoted Garfield's letter to Dorsey, of Star route notoriety, asking him to hare Brady, Second Assistant Postmaster -General, called upon for aid, also, a letter from Levi P. ; Morton, present Republican candidate for Vice-president to Dorsey, stating that be .bed contributed $30, 0G0. Mr. Cockrell said be only read these letters to refresh the memory of the Senator from Maine (Sale}, and to show tbe depth of degradation to which the civil service had. been brought under the Republican administration iu 1880. Goversor Gray, of Indiana, .who spent several days here- this week, as? sured Mr. Cleveland in a .personal in? terview that Indiana was atl right. The* Army oflacer in. charge of the building of the Washington aqueduct tunnel, upon .which gross fraud? have been discovered, was derailed for tbe work by President Arthur. The everlasting, much talked of Be publieac tariff bi?! bas been reported to the Senate, together with a majority and minority report The minority report is the work of Senators Harris Yance, and Beek and shews conclusively the many advantages of the Mills bill over the Republican substitute! The bil! will be called up on Monday for consideration, and will probably occupy the entire attention of the Senate until the recess is taken to allow the members to go home tc vote. It will be impossi? ble to get it to a vote before election. Attorney-General Garland ha3 return ed to the city mnch improved in health. Judge Thurman will be here next week to argue the Telephone cases be? fore the Supreme Court. He will be given a public reception, which is cer? tain to be a rouser, for the 'old.Koman" is extremely popular here. Postmaster-Geueral Dickinson has returned from "bis trip to Michigan. He reports that the Democrats of that state are very enthusiastic and hopeful ?of carrying the election there. Senator Voorhees left here yesterday i for Indiana, where he has daily engage? ments to speak, from Monday next until Saturday November 3. Representative Merriman, of New ? York, is very positive that Hill will ! carry New York. Ile also thinks that [ Mr. Brice ?3 managing the campaign wisely. ! Tho Republican National L?ague, of ; this city, has been sued by a stationer fer ?317 fj?r stationery furnished. Mr. Cleveland has approved the Chinese Exclusion bill, anti sent a mes? sage to Congress recommending iegisla ; tion to allow such Chinese laborers a? shall have actually embarked^ on tbeir return to this country before the passage of the law and are now on their way, to land, provided they have tue proper certificates ali:* that, 'without j.^know ledging legal liability therefor, but because it was stipulated in the 'reaty which has failed to take efiec', iud in a spirit of humanity befitting oar nation, there be appreciated the sum of $27(5, (519. 75. payable to ihe Chinese Minister nt this Capital on behalf of his sovern ment as? fell indemnity for ail losses and inj'jiies sustained by Chinese subjects' tn the United Slates. Il*- prese n?a five LsnKarn, of Tex??*, offered thc foilnwiug resolution in thu House : That it is the ^en^e of this lipase that appropriate k*??.-d;?tiou f;?r the prevention and suppression of l rt?.-ts if? immediately demanded <*n behalf of the 2r?:it body of the American people, and that thc remainder of rbis V$?i<i!i or so much thereof as may be necessary, should be devoted to the perfection of such legislation, and to that end all other legislative business, except gen? eral appropriation and tariff h?ls, should be subordinated until the purpose of this resolution be attained. This sessioD of Congress now beats the record for continuous length. Chairman Quay was over herc carly io tbe week making a final attempt to prevent tbe Republican Senators from reporting any tariff bill, but tbe Sen? ators bad decided to report their bill, so that bis visit was like all the rest which he has made lately for the same purpose -^fruitless. , ' . Senator. Iogalls w * opposed to re? porting a tariff pill, and some people say that neither be nor Senator Plumb will vote for the bill which has been re? ported on account of the big cat in the sugar tariff. The public debt was reduced $14, 500.000 during September. The continued absence of a quorum in the House has started a project to pass a constitrtional amendment making a smaller number than a majority of all the members a quoraoi. In the legis? lative bodies of uo other country ia the world is so large a number required to constitute a quorum as in the House of Representatives. A 'calf case' has just been settled in Iowa. The calves were probably worth $45. The parties have been at law for fourteen years. The costs have amounted tn $5,000, the attorneys^ fees $15,000, and all the parties to the suit have become bankrupt. Tbe plaintiff bas been ruined : but be gained bis case. The price of flour has risen rapidly during the past week, owing to wild speculations in wheat at Chicago. Sep? tember wheat sold on 'Chance in Chica? go last Saturday as high as $2 a busher, after opening on Monday before at 95? cents. It was the result of a 'corner' effected by a man by the name of Hutchinson, known as *01d Hutch,' who is said to bave made six millions of dol? lars by the deal. Berkeley County had a lively time Saturday night. Frederick Brunning, who keeps a store and grogery near Charleston, was stabbed by a drunken negro. A thirteen-year-old clerk -promptly pct a bullet through his lungs. Another negro came to his assistance and got a load of bird-shot io bis bead. At McBride's store, a quarter of a mile off, one negro shot -soother in the th??b, and at Bee's Ferry, near by, 'Big Sid' got into a fight with Cato Hasel, plunged his dirk into Cato's side and fled. That is pretty bloody for one night. ---?Nih ?O?W^ Letter from Oxxv, GREGG'S .X ROADS, Oct. 8, 188$. Attending to our own business and trying to let other people's severely alone bas k-ipt us vtfy busily employed for tbe past two months. We've b4Sto.oTrthe"go"continuously and only able to spend Sunday -wi tb the '-home folks." This is our apology to those friends and readers of the Watchman who have been on tba look out for those "notes" promised some time ago. We did take many and va? ried notes of men and things, but the tra tb is, we were kt-pt so busily engaged making sharp points for others that we permitted oar notes io,beeo-rae dal), state, fiat and uninter? esting. Our ?rst vi?t was to the tewns of Magno? lia, aad Lynchburg. We arrived early--in the d?y and at first thought that tbe folks hadn't yet got up, but afterwards discovered ' that the population tad pretty mach gone fishing with exception of Kailfottd ?gent, Postmaster, Trial Justice and Capt. Bill McLeod. The Captain is certainly a man of some courage still, for he had the temerity to ask us to dine with him,. y it the Captain is ah old -soldier ?t?? is, we ce??eve, fhe eddest merchant now in the old town of Lynchburg. The heat wr.s spitefully fervent on that day and after cooling off the Captain asked ns just before dinner if we'd like to "see abroan,'' We asserted with remarkable celerity that we would not raise the slightest objection to "seeiug a man," a good, strong man, too, from head to foot. So he invited us into the parlor.- We did think it was rather a carious plac?, fc> "see A mun," sod when Capt. Mc. reached down behind the piano we thought it still more singular. However, . after that we went in to dinner and we vdid. enjoy tbat part of our visit bujjciy.auid if Ai rs.-Capt. Mc. kept a boarding Uouse. .we'd Hke to stop there every time. From this point we visited the plantation of tbe Messrs. Salinas of Charleston, situ? ated on the bank of B'ack Sivef. This exten? sive farm is under the skillful management of that intelligent ?nd progressive farmer, J. B. McBryde. Mr. McB. is a Darlington man and we must mention en passant,.that it is rather a comment upon us Jh it so many Darllng tonians should come over to Sumter County and succeed io business. Here ja our own section are (he Messrs. Brearley, -George, William and Archy, ail go-ahead and suc? cessful farmers. The town of Bishopville is stocked with Dariingtou blood, and this is not all we'll have to say abou? Darlington The above mentioned farm is conducted on modern principles with all modern labor? saving Implements and appliances from an improved hoe to a steam engine and saw mill, graiu thresher, reaper and horse rakes. Mr. Me?. is a practical farmer and one who can give you aa i a tel! ?gent reason for the foi tb that is in him, and the proof of it all is that he makes good crops of every kind and with time will no doubt make this a model farmer. He has also exercifed his inventive powers in the manufacture of a combined -guano and pea seed sower which drills, sows aud covers all io one operation thereby saving the work of at least oue plow, hor3e and plowman, and has been used oa a cumber of farms thc past season. Still another Darlingion mun whom we'll mention io this letter is O. C. Scarborough, of the rapid town of Bishoprille. Bishop? ville, from it's different approaches ha3 much the appearance of a town that jvas built np last ni^bt and is still building. We've often heard that Bishopville lands would stand much backsets and yet make good crops with a late season, and Bishopville itself is proof positive that this is so, for the little town it? self has been very backward from time imme? morial and yet bids fair to make a very fair town at last, and this ?3 in great degree owing to ihe infusion of Darlington blood. Here are the Scarborough's, the Parrots, the Pate?, the Hearons and others whom we may fail to recall at this moment. One's first ex? clamation on reaching Bishopville would naturally be, 0, See Scarborough's hotel, and this building >s really worthy of inspection, comprising some 27 rooms, each one finished in a different and highly artistic and work? manlike manner by that native master build? er, Mr. Davis, it will, when finished, rauk among the handsomest edifices, inside and o:it, in our section of country. We partic? ularly examioed the pantry, kitchen and din iug room, and though handsome now we hop?- lo live to see them still more attractive. Orlando came to Bisbopvillesome years sincp, and started life with a pfek bf corn on credit. He now controls the building of ibis hotel, a large ?HW mill, a t rick yard turning out i 10,0'iO brick per day, a store and considera j rile farm intt rests. So much for steady pluck ! and energy. Guv. j P. S-We omitted to explain that the I "man" whom Capt. Bill McLeod invited ns i in to iee ?was a large, liii-srze portrait of Bill ? himself. It was not a bad looking picture, i in fact-weil, it was rather good looking, i but we must sa\* that for once in our lives we ? could say with all our heart, -your pic I ture," for we were very, very dry G. -ig ? -4M-- - - I "The things we know are netthr-r rich nor ; ?ire," but marki-d by an uncommon ingre? dient of common sense.
