I We want to hear from you, gentlemen, ?nd j cannot continue to oii.ke the Watchman and . Southron a first-class paper without your assistance. As usual, the advertisement of Messrs.

It will be of brick, 210 by 45 feet, and iocated some distance west of the passenger depot, i The baggage room cf the latter is to been-: larged. Assistant chief engineer Dunn was ! here last week, and left the impression that : w^rk would commence verv shortly. The Academy of Music.

The city council has made a contract with Mr. Mike 0. Kavanaugh to light the streets for one year, for th? sum of S1SS5. Thc cou Iracl provides that he shall burn 90 gasoline and 60 keroseue lamps and pay all expenses. lt is provided also that the contract may be rescinded by the city upon three mouth's notice. If the street lights are improved by thi- system, we hope the people will not for? get that irs adoption is entirely the result of the Watchman and Southron ? suggestion. Well Done! The many friends of Murritt F. DeLorme wilt be gratified to know-that he has p issed a very succes>ful examination at the Balti? more College of Pharmacy, he and two others having aUniried the maximum, 100, out of a c'ass of eighty-^wo members. The author? ities-are io doubt as to which of these three shall receive thc prize offered. It seems to be another variation of the celebrated "Judg? ment of Paris," only Murritt and* the other two fellows do not corre>pond very closely to Juno, Venus and Minerva, the beautiful con? testants in that famous competition. - mmm ll tmm - Too Late. The train bearing ex-President Cleveland and his party, consisting of Messrs. Buvard, Viias aud others, on their i^av tc Cuba, Stopped in the ci'y some time yesterday. The visit was the result of the North-Eastern's being blocked between Lanes and Florence, j and was entirely unexpected. No one except ? a few persons around the depot, knew until too late, that the greatest living Democrat had been in the city. Captain R. A. Brand j had the pleasure of shaking his hand, and it is now in order for everybody to shake Capt. Braud's hand. A Day of Wrecks. A pay train on the W. C. k A, railroad ran into a hand car abont one mile this side of Wedgefield early yesterday morning and ivas derailed. Th* engineer and firemen were ? injured, but not seriously. There was a wreck on the North Eastern i yesterd-iy at some point between Lanes and j Florence, but the particulars cannot be ascer? tained. This morning two freight trains collided nine miles ft ora Churlestou and so blocked the j road that no cars can run through tc-day. The Charleston mail ?iii therefore not reach us. -?I in -ttmrnt**-1 - The Eutawville Railroad. Col. I. W. Fowler, superintendent of the Eu-tawviile Railroad, was in the city yester- I day, and made a favorable report of the work j of extending the road. The bridge across the Santee River was repaired and opened I some time ago und is now being usM by con- j s?ruc?ion traios. The trestle through the i Santee Swamp is now being erected. Two j and a half miles of tressing have been finished j on the Vance's side of the river, leaving about two miles, to be built on the other side. When ' this has be?n done the most serious part of j the extension of the road from Eutawviile to Summerton will have been accomplished The distance from Eutawvi?e to Summerton, is fifteen miles, agood part of which is already graded. It is the opinion of the superinten? dent that with any kind of iuck the road will be in operation to Summer-, ja by uext July, j -Aetr* and Courier. They Whittle. All societies and purdie bodies have, cf j course, some peculiarities in their order of : business. The different ohj-cts for which men associate themselves together render this j necessary, but we venture to say the order : of business of cur City Ccuncd is oite which ? will bri.'-gon an acute and aggravated c:?se\>f ! astonishment. The centre of the Council i Chamber is ornamented with the usuai square table, one side of which is lighted up by the ? genial countenance of the Clerk, Col. Hurst. \ About seven o'clock, on council evening, the j Mayor arrives. He is always early, and is i the most energetic and persistent worker, j His arrival is the signal for the production of | a bundie of the most singular documents ! that ever graced a cyu?cii li.b.'e From some recess, back of the water cooltr, Col. Hurst : produces a number of small white pine boards, j evidently the remains of a dry goods box, and places them before his Honor, who forth- ; with selects a piece free of nails and knots, j whets his knife on his boot, blows on the ; blade to try its temper, and begins Asan! artist in wood, the Mayor has won a most ; enviable reputation, but his work often lacks j that exquisite finish which distinguishes the results obtained by some of the Aldermen, i He makes a specialty of that line in which Rosa Bonheur ha? won tame and fortune, and : sometimes his genius, assisted by the keenness ; of his penknife, turns out such a sneaking I model of a dog that one is al ?cos? templed to i whistle to it. Alderman China affects the antique, and i his practiced h:!nd produces the semblance of a creature which may never have existed but does credit to his imagination, it bears ai striking resemblance toan Egyptian Murinny j in full dress. Aldermen Wini: and Brand are j by comparison somewhat iuexp*rienctd but j are apt scholars. Mr. Brand's mind runs on ? plowstocKS, while Mr. Winn is laboring to \ reproduce the features of the darkey who ; stole his chickens last winter. He says he ? would oe confident of success could lie get ? a piece of white pine soaked ia lamp b!a?-k. j Alderman O'Donnell is refV-ree, but refuses to j whittle. These labors extend fer into the night, and ; then, af:er a short season, of knife swMpping, ! and an;~iated discussion upon t e relative i excellences of their tools, the minutes ure read : and the city fathers betake themselves home- ? ward. If the legislature can be induced to adopt ; the habits of our council, wc tuny have fewer laws and better ones. An Appeal for Mercy. A? a mass meeting br id in the city of Sum- i ter on the evenine of March 18th, 1S89, the * j following Resolutions were submitted and acopted : WHEHEAS. two colored citizens,- nnd -, of the County of Picketts, wercindicted, tried aud convicted tor trie mulder, by lynch? ing, one Waldroj-, of the s.une County, who was charged with outraging an innocent colored g:;i about thirteen years oil, and thereby causing her death. And, ulo-.-eas, the crime wirb which the said Waldrop was char^e.i \xns always been regarded as the mort heinous of crimes, and is almost universally punished by lynching. And, whereas, the love of virtue and 'io- desire for the protection of the virtuous and the innocent is uppermost alike in the mind of the ignorant und learned, the humble and theexalted And, whereas, the crime for which the sai 1-and - hiive been convicted is the fir-r of the kind ever committed by colored citizens of this Stale. And, whereas, the conviction cf the Said -arid - is the first conviction for the crime of lynching in this Stale, and whereas, we believe ih?t in thu commission ot the crime the s?dd - and-bini simply imitated examples set by ?hose superior in standing, judgmentand education, and where? as, we condemn lynch law for each and every crime ; and whereas, if execueive clemency is shown these men, the said -and -, we believe that it will create a better feeling between the two ra<-c? and will tend much toward deterring men from taking trie law in their own bands. R?zotved, That we, tho '.ii'Z'-r.s rd Sumter, in m HS* roeetiriij assembled do petition his excellency, John IV Richardson, Governor of the State of South Carolina, for the pardon or commutation or the sentences of tho two men. the Said-and-.

Morrie, M. D., Brooklyn, N. Y. A Bank for Manning. Captain A. Levi, and What he it Doing for Clarendon County. Captain A. Levi, a prominent lawyer of Manning, was registered at the Charleston Hotel last night. Captain Levi is in the city partly on private business, and partly for the purpose of looking after the interests of the bank he is seeking to establish at Manning He was seen last night by a World reporter, to whom he spoke quite freely about the prospects of the proposed pew bank, and of the prospects of the growing county-seat of Clarendon generally. "We are pushing right ahead to organize the bank/' said the Captain, in response to a query, "and our prospects are just as fine as we could wish. Although we have been working it up for but a short time, nearly one-half of the stock has already been sub? scribed by the citizens of Manning, and we are working for other and large subscriptions from the rnonied men of the country at large. We have not tried to dispose of any of the stock in Charleston yet, although I have no doubt there are a large number of capitalists here who would take big blocks of the stock without hesitation and t.e glad to get ir. Manning is a live, growing town, and needs a batik new more than anything else, and it ! would be an institution that would pay hand- j j somely. We are anxious, however, to keep the controlling interest at home, and conse- j quenby are trying to get considerably more | than half of the stock taken at Manning and I in Clarendon County before seeking sub? scribers abroad. ''At present," he continued, ''the merchants of Manning and the farmers of the whole county are compelled to ship all their cotton to Charleston, which is the only market they have, as they have only one railroad, that one leading to this city. But if we had a bank at the county-seat, it would attract cotton buyers, who could afford to settle in tiie town, bringing with them a revival of j trade, and helping us very ranch in a number j I of other ways. At present Charleston and ! Sumter get very nearly all the trade of the I county, either directly or indirectly, but with j a bank we could centralize it at the Court House, and the result would be that Manning i would take a start in growth that she has not known for years." - Charleston World, j - - m A Holiday Jaunt. Portions of a racy letter written by a young | Sumter man, residing for a time at Nashville, j will be appreciated by many of our readers. He says : I have now come to the'point of giving you a complete and de-.ailed account of ray adven tures in the foreign country of Alabama, and my impressions in said country. In the first place, I left Nashville at 6 25 ? a. m. on the morning of February 22ad. Boarding the train at the Union Depot, I took ! particular care to occupy a whole seat my- : self, although the car was crowded. My rea- | son for so doing was to keep a seat for a girl, known as Miss-, wliom I expected j to get on at South Nashville depot. My ex- j pectations were fully realized and I sat in the j seat with her untii we reached Columbia, j about forty miles from the city, where I helped her off and bid her a fond adieu. After i she left me I had to content myself by putting j my head on the corner of my grip. The country between here and the Alabama line is as pretty and as fine a country as I ! have ever seea. It is all limestone formation : and is rolling and hilly. The hills arc all; green, even now, with blue grass, and everv- j thing looks more inviting than the pine ' woods and swamps of South Carolina, | although the pines would be the most agree- ? able sight I could behold. I passed through auout a thousand towns, j more or "ess, of all sizes, kinds and condi- i tions. We stopped at Decatur to get lunch, ; but I did not get off as I had already taken a ; snack. Decatur is on the Tennessee river, which is the largest (perhaps the Santee is ' about the same size) and the prettiest river I . ever saw. The ci ty is partially old, but mostly new and scattered over enough ground for Babylon. The business portion ia right com- ; pact but the other parts are scattered in every direction, with lots sinked out in the : fields surrounding. My stay in Decatur was so limited thal 1 di? not have much time to take the bearings. I am not surprised at i having yellow fever there last summer Univ \ wonder why they did net have the ten ; plagues. It is undoubtedly the filthiest city ! I ever saw, and I was told that an immense j amount of cleaning up had been doue since j the fever stopped. They are busily at work preparing to meet the fever next summer, aad k*-tp it out if possible. The streets are being pavrd with white grave!, and sewers are being put down. The city is in a fine coun? try for farming-the Tennessee river bottoms -and would t?e a pretty good place to settle in if it was healthy. From Decatur I proceeded southward and j saw nothing in particular, oniy towns and | hills and small mountains. Not very far \ this side of Birmingham is Biount Springs. It | it is nothing but a hole in between the moan- ! tains, just room enough for the railroad, ' depot, and three or four stores, ft creek run- j tiing along side the railroad. There are two ? big hotels up on the side of the mountains mid | a few other houses. It is very cool, and L i imagine it would bc a first ciass piace to stay ; during the summer. I arrived in Birmingham about 3.30 p. m.. ! changed cars, ate a lunch and come near being ?eft while doing so. I had to stop j eating and run to get on the car. Binning ham is trie busiest looking {?lace I ever saw- ' factories and foundries in every direction. The j woods and fields for a half mile from the I outskirts of ihe city are staked out in streets, avenues and corner lots. I could only <zet a I glimpse of the ci*y, socin't give much ac-j count of it; but it is new und smutty looking, ! and is surrounded by a chain of high bills, or j mountains they may be called. I went on I through a lot of other towns of which ! Tuscaloosa is the prettiest I saw. It is really I one of the prettiest places I ever saw ; but j did not see much of it when going down as ! it was just .-.bout dark. As it is too dark to ? make uny more observations 1 will now arrive j in Kutaw, my predestinated destination, 8.15 ? p. rn. Feb. 22 1. '81b L Hundred Tons of Money.

Perhaps no enterprise of any Southern newspaper has ever met with ihe favor that has been accorded the latest plan of the World-Budget Company, of Charleston", S. C., for further extending the circulation of their three publications. The Daily World, The Weekly World, and The Sunday Budget. The subscription prices are. respectively, seven dollars, two dollars aud a half, and one I dollar, per annum. The Weekly World and The Sunday Bud? get are twelve-page (72 columns) papers, while The Daily World consists of eight pages (48)columns) each day. All of the publications of The World Bud? get Company are beautifully priuted on good paper from brand new type, and are, conse? quently, particularly legible. The plan referred to is this. On the first day of July, of this year, The World-Budget Company will distribute the sum of two hun? dred and fifty dollars in cash to the seven persons who .shall have sent in. between Feb? ruary 20, 1889, and "July 1. 1889, the largest ! sums of money for subscriptions io either or all of their publications, thus putting persons in the country and city on precisely the same footing in this novel competition. At first sight it would appear difficult to imagine bow these enterprising Charleston publishers can expect to "get their money back," but the solution is not difficult to find. The premiums (which are-divided iuto 'he following amounts. Si00, S50. ?35. S25, $20, S15 and S5N; may all be won b\ persons who probably will not have sent ir. up to July 1. more than twenty or thirty dollars altogeth- : er. Therefore, people living in smaller vii- : lases and hamlets will stand just as good H chance of winning the premiums ?rs will those who live in the city. It ;s even possible ! that the first prize of one hundred dollars j may be won by someone, the total amount nf i whose subscrimions mav not exceed ten doi- : lars. Therefore, no ono should be deterred from \ treing.
