WEDNESDAY, APRIL 16. The Sunder WatcJtnton was founded in 1850 aad the True Southron in i860. The Watchman and Soiithron now has the combined circulation and influence of both of the old papers, and is mani festly the best advertising medium iu Sam ter. SAM'L J. RANDALL DEAD. At his hoKC in Washington, at 5 r\?ock, A. M., on Sunday last, Samuel J. llaadill breathed his last, after a long and painful illness covering about five years with occasional rallies. Id h*s death there passes away from the etage of public life one of the most thoroughly equipped statesmen of this Dation. A born leader of men, of splendid ability, with a thorough mastery of the details of statescrafs, a consummate tac Haian, a high toned, honorable gentle man, it was only his unfortunate differ ence with the great majority of his party on the subject of the tariff, that prevented Randalt from becoming the acknowledged leader of the national Democratic party. Had he not held views on the sub ject of protection at variance with the doctrines of his party he would have been the nominee of the Democracy for the Presidency iu 1876. While these views, urged with his great ability, in jured his party aud destroyed the chances of his own elevation to the greatest office in the world, yet, the fact that he clung tenaciously to them in spite of everything, goes to show the man's unswerving integrity and alle giance to principle. He died a poor man. OUR CBMBTERY. Have the people of Sumter forgotten their dead ? One would certainly think po to see the Cemetery in its present dis graceful condition. No graveyard at j any long ago-abandoned country church or plantation presents more shameful | evidences of neglect than does the c?rne- | tery of our boasted city with her five thousand inhabitants. The graves are not cared for, the walks are almost obliterated, the un- ( trimmed shrubbery and evergreens are choked up with weeds and decayed limbs. Here and there a lonely tomb- | stone rears its bead above the surround- j ing weeds and shaggy boshes to look ; out over a scene of sad desolation. The heart shrinks back with pain to ! observe these signs of unpardonable in- j difference on the part of our people to j the appearance of the still abode of their dead. The loving hands that once made the \ grass to grow green and the flowers to j bloom it radiant beauty, the hands that j once fashioned the trailing vine and the pendent bow in tasteful design, are i grown tired of their work and wild na lare is left unmolested to riot in her ! chaotic excesses. From this silent city of the dead no reproachful voice can ever rise to pro- I test against this sad neglect, but the ! voice of that love we still bear in our hearts for those who have gone before j tells us that we are recreant to a sacred duty. We sincerely trust that we shall never have cause again to call the at tention of our people to the neglected condition of our Cemetery. ICE FACTORY. As the days begin to grow longer and ! hotter the question of an ice factory is beginning to be actively agitated again We met Mr. T. J. Baker on the street | on Monday last with a list getting sub scriptions to stock io a company be proposes to organize here for the estab- ? lishmeot of an ice factory. He inform ed us that be was meeting with grati fying success and thought that io a few days he would have enough stock sub scribed to assure the success of bis en terprise and warrant him in ordering the machinery and other necessary ma terial for the plant An ice factory ought to pay hand somely nere. The business would not have to depend on the local demands for a sale of its products. Bisbopviile, j Ti aimons vi I le. Cartert-ville, Mayesville, Wedgefield, Summerton, Manning. Foreston and A Icol u are among the : many little towns in the near vicinity that would draw their supplies of ice from this city. When the new rail roads now in procesa ot construction are completed, other markets will be open ed up for Sumter's ice. We are informed that all the ice fac tories so far established to this State are proving profitable investments for ' their stockholders. A HALL FOR OUR SECRET FRATERNITIES. Among the many institutions of Sumter are to benumb- = ed her fraternal societies. There are the Masons, con sisting of both a Biue Lodge and a Chapter; the Knights of Honor, tho j Knights and Ladies of II mor, the American L^gioo of Honor, the Good ; Templars, the Ancient Ord^r of [Jotted Workmen, and the Kotgbts of Pythias. The aims and olj"Cfs of all these societies are too w*dl known to be mentioned here ; suffice it to say they do a great deal towards building up the moral tone of a community. Most all of these societies are large iu numbers, and have among; their member* some of < the most substantial as well as practical ? of our citizens. This being the case we must confesa our surprise that not ? one of th*Mn owns its Hall in which to < bold ks regular meetings. When we ! ask how is this ? we are told that not one of them is financially stroog enough to build a Hall and own property by itself. Now it seems to us that the leading men of these societies can easily formulate a plan and successfully carry it out by which the societies altogether can build a Hall. Let the societies and the members thereof and even those who are not members of t>aid societies form a kind of Joint Stock Association and build a Hall. Put the shares in reach of everyone. Say for example the shares are ?10.00 a piece : it will require at least, 1,000 shares; which would be equivalent to ?10,000. With this amouut a lot could be bought, aud a nice brick building erected upon it ; the first sfory to be used for a store, the second for a Public I Hall and the third for the meeting of the secret societies. The next question arises how are these shares to be paid? We would suggest as soon as the re quisite number are subscribed, that 25 per cent be paid. That would be $2 50 a share; then at the end of forty-five days another 25 per cent be paid ; then forty-five days later another 25 per cent, and forty-five days from that the [ last installment of 25 per cent. We have very few men in our city who could not take at least one share, and I many can take one hundred shares. We have been credibly informed that the societies can take from two hundred I to two hundred and fifty shares. Will the investment pay ? One of our I friends informs us that it will pay at least from 7 to 10 per cent. Now these are crude thoughts thrown out for what they are worth, but we ? advise the differeut societies to look into this matter as we have been told that the day is not far distant when the owners of the Hall where these socitie? ? now meet will require it for their own business. Verbum $<rp. THAT HOTEL IN SIGHT. The persevering and unremitting labors of the Watchman and Southron for a grand hotel for Sumter are now reasonably sure of being crowned with gratifying success. The Sumter Board of Trade has taken hold of the enter prise and that means business. Messrs. Alt. Moses, Abe. Ryttenburg, Neill O'Donnell and A. S. Brown, a com mittee representing that body, are now on their rounds among our business men with a subscription list to stock. Our last peep at the paper before going topres8, showed ?15,000, already sub scribed with "many counties yet to hear from." The contribution from this city to the I capital fund will probably reach ?o0,000. As much more can easily be raised at the North?thus insuring a hotel that will be a credit to our city. Mr. John S. Silver, President of the Charleston, Sumter & Northern Rail way Co , subscribed the handsome sum of ?5.000 It is likely that by the time of our next issue all the stuck necessary will have been subscribed and we can give an accurate report of the purposes, gen eral plans, etc., of the stockholders, asi well as the location of the hotel. CANNING FACTORY. We publish in another column a let ter from Mr. J. R Calhoun, of Balti- I more, to the News and Courier giving to detail tLe co:-*: of a Canning Factory., j We earnestly commend this letter to i the careful consideration of our farmers, i It seems, in our humble judgement, to i offer opportunities for money making ! far superior to any of the methods now employed on the farm. The great need of this great South ern Country * ie diversified industry. | When every body raises cotton, and ! cotton alone, the market gluts and prices are k?*pt down. Enough vegetables are yearly thrown j away in Suo?fer County to make a hun- ! dred men rieh. Our light soils, capa- i ble of infinite fertilization are axactly j adapted to the culture of just such vege tablee as are be.st suited for caouing j purposes. The great advantage the people of j the North W est have over us consist in : their faculty for saving and allowing I nothing to be watted Every respecta- ! ble farm has its eider prf-ss. broom ?ac- I tory, canning factory &e . and every ! thing, by some process or another finds ? its way to the table or to market We hope some of our farmers will give this canning business a fair test. If afraid to undertake it singly, ht a j number in s<?me communi'y combine together, s-> that if there be any loss it will fall lightly on each individual. But we fee ? assured in ad value that a fair test will demonstrate that it is mor?; profitable than corti THE DESERTER ?n this isrue we com menee the pub lication of a new s-rial with the above title by that prince of story writers, Oapr Charle* King If i- a romance full of ef.jmng incidents, if will prove cxce^dingly iiti'resring to the lovers of fiction and a pJ< a>-aiit divi r-i >ti to ;iil EXIT L Mr Sati.'l Dibble, tie- present ? p resentative iti Congress from t .?? Fust South Carolina Congressional l>>t:it-r. published a letter m the News and Courier of yept**rd:*y, addressed to hi< constituents, declaring his intention to retire from Congress after the expira tion of his present term. Mr Dibble has made an able and en ergetic representative, and his determi nation to retire from public life will ?ause universi regret among his con stituents There is. however, some plendid material in hi< district, and :i is place can be ably fi i led. We sup pose that Charleston will furnish the successor to Mr. Dibble, as, of right, she ought, and there are scores of men in Charleston who would make valu able Congressmen, reflecting honor alike on the District and the Stafe. Charleston's greatest difficulty will be to get her best men to accept the place. We sincerely trust the selection may not fall on any one of the members of that "unaccountable" delegation (?) to the recent Shell Convention. We are curious to see the World's suggestion" for the position. WHO ARB IN THE RING. On the outside of this paper wo pub lish an editorial which appeared in last weeks" issue of the Ncwberry Herald and News. We had intended to write an article on the same subject until, looking over our exchanges we came across the article referred to, which will serve to cover the points we intended to make. We especially commend it to "Farm er" and others of his ilk, who aro al ways crying "wolf* when there is in fact no wolf. AN ri-TILLMANITES. Messrs. Iredell Je es, of Rock Hill, I. W. Woodward, of Fairfield and J. C. F. Sims, of Columbia, have united in a call for a convention of farmers, composed of one representative from each county, opposed to Mr. Tillman and the platform adopted at the Shell Convention. This Convention will meet in Columbia on the 23rd, inst., to discuss the situation and take such further steps as may then be determined upon. Its main object is to show to all other ! classes that the Shell Convention did I not represent the views of a large body of farmers BAYARD IN CHARLESTON. Ex Secretary of the United States Thos. F. Bayard delivered the oration before the Huguenot. Society of Charles ton on the occasion of the celebration of their fifth anniversity on the eveniDg of the 14th instant. During his visit to Charleston Mr. j Bayard was royally entertained. He is a great man in the South and is es. ! pecially popular in the old "city by the I sea." Joseph H. Earle for Governor. Mr. E'litor : While the people are consider ing the question as to who shall be their next Governor, allow us to suggest the name of the Hon Joseph H. Earle, of Sumter. Col. Earle is in hearty sympathy with the reform element of the State, but is not an extremist of the Tillman type. Having once resided in this county, he is not unknown to many of] our people, who have watched his public 1 career with much pleasure. Ke is a man of I ability, patriotism and conservatism, and we ! would but honor ourselves in honoring him. j ? Ci?zens, in Anderson Journal. April 5. We publish a communication to-d*y sug gesting the name of How Joseph H. Earle, of Sumter, far the office of Governor. With out prejudice to the many other eligible j names that have recently been suggested in connection with the gubernatorial office, we j can unhesitatingly say that Coi. Earle would ? make au exellent C-fdef Magistrate, and South j Carolina would conserve ber best interests by ? calling him to the Governor's chair. Col. Barle has acted well his part In every relation j he has occupied, and such a record is worth I everything in guiding the choice of a man to j occupy a high public office. We have watch- ; ed Col. Earl t?oth as legislator and as the | State's Attorney General, and we believe his every act has been performed for the best interest of the people and the State. His ; opinions**. Attorney General have been inva- ? riably si:>iained by the courts, and we be- ! lieve his at tions as Governor would have an ! equally flattering endorsement from the people. We do not know that Col. Earle hag j an\ idea of entering the race for Governor, < and therefore we do not speak of him as a candidate. We only speak of his merits as a j man, and when the Democracy of theS?ate go , to woi k name a candidate we trust such a standard will he set as will include such men j as Joseph Earle.?Andtrton Journal. Without Prejudice. In the March convention the leader of the opposition to nominations was from Sumter county, and if is beginning to look now as if the Opposition to Tillman will selecta candi- i date from Surntrr to make the fight against j him again in the August convention. While Col. J J. Dargan whs the leadpr of ; the band w ho unsuccessfully made the fight at the March convention, Col. Earle, of Sum- J ter, the present attorney general of the Mate, *'id probably the most popular man in Sum 1er county, se-ms Intelt to have b*en more frequently mentioned in connection with the ! governorship than any man fave Tillman Col E trie's name has heen brought for- j ward in Sumter, in this citv arid in Ander- 1 ? , m spite of his statement, as pub'ished m j an interview, according to our impression, I that he w*s not a candidate. Although supporting him rather gingerly, j 'lie Anderson Journal pays a high tribute to i his career as a legislator and as Attorney General of the state. The Journal, which, although ably edited, ' is undoubtedly edited also wiih a considera- j hie amount of caution, prefaces its compii mentary remaiks with reference to Col. Earle, j however, with the distinct statement that j the} art to he taken ''without prejudice to I the many other elidible names that have te Crnlly heeu suggepted in connection with the j gubernatorial office '?Ctmrlcxton W'>rld. mm ? ?? mm Letter from Qui Vive.
