The free school h of tbe city gave their cus tomary spring holiday on last week. The weather during the entire week was superb. An opportunity like that could not be lost, so tbe children, with their mamas, and their sis ters, and their cousins, and their aunts went a picknicking somewhere every day. The wet k was wholly given over to the pleasure of the little ones and some few big ones. One popular youog esculapius had a big picnic all by himself?materially assisted by a little flaxen-haired divinity?at a certain mill not a thousand miles from here. Chance bus iness took us to the mill and while looking up a snake to bite us, in order that we might lest the efficacy of a ''sure cure for snake bite" we had takeo tbe precaution to have along with us, we came upon the said escu lapius and his?picnic. The happiness expe rienced on that occasion has left a smile on tbe youthful gentleman's face that only time ?a?d a long time at that?can wear away. We too, tried to "take a smile" but was frightened off by the aforesaid-picnic. "By the Light of the Moon." Under the pieasaut duennasbip of Mrs. Sam Cordes a party consisting of eight cou ples numbering among them the staid bachel ors of Sumter, slightly intermixed with widowers (the latter just a little on the mat rimonial quest intent) went gaily forth by tbe light of tbe moon?which was not lighted that night?to spend a pleasant evening on the banks of a mill pond about two miles west of the city. Hay was spread out upon the floors of two wagoos and the picnickers spread out on tbe hay, but the best spread ot tbe evening was that under the oaks at tbe mill by the light of huge bonfires where everything to tempt the appetite appeared in abundant plenty. After a few hours spent at the old mill the party returned to the city arriving about midnight. This delightful picnic was given in compli ment to MissChoate, of Charleston, who bas for tbe last few weeks been the gaest of the chaperon of the occasion The King's Daughters. On Friday eveniog last the King's Daugh ters gave an open air festival of ice cream, sherbert and cake on the spacious and band e?me grounds of the Sumter Institute which were brilliantly iliumizxted for the occasion by electricity. The sale of ice cream and the m?d fl rtttions so inseparably conoecttd with that frigid article of diet, were kept up till the hour of nine wheo nmst of the youn? people adjourned to the hospitable house of Col. D J. Auld just across the street, where the rest of the evening was pleasantly spent in the innocent amusement of trying to keep their mouths shut?called a "Mum Party." After the company had assembled and were seated Col. Auld announced the object of the meeting to be to see how long the young people comprising the party could bold -their peace or, in other words, keep their- mouths shut?aod that a pecuniary fine of 25 cts. would be imposed on the first who should break the silence by sp?-ech or laughter. At this point Mr. Dave Chandler protested that the fine of 25 cts. would be exorbitant. Mr. C. was promptly called to order and made to contribute tbe first quarter of a dollar to tbe exchequer Tbe laughter which followed Mr. C s unfortunate blunder was so general that many coins clinked in the capacious derby handed round for the penalties. Tbe ereniug was altogether pleasaot to tbe par ticipants aod profitable to the King's Daughters. Grand Concert on Wednesday next. The Fourth Regiment Band, popularly known among us as tbe Sumter Volunteer Band, will give a grand concert at Music Hall on next Wednesday evening, May 7th. Tbe object of this concert, tbe first of a series intended to be given daring tbe Summer, is to raise money to purchase uniformi for the members of the band. Since becoming at tached to tbe military service of the State as the band of the Fourth Regiment it is necessary that the members shall be uniformed. These uoiforms will cost nearly four hundred dol lars, and tbe band has determined to raise this money by means that will prove a great tieat to our people as well as inexpensive to tbe young gentlemen "with horns." Tbe best talent of our city has been engaged and will be presented in an attractive pro gram of vocal and instrumental music,? solos, duets, trios, quartettes, etc. A special feature of tbe concert will be a female cornetist?one of our own youog ladies, whose talent with that sweet instru ment will be a revelation su prising and de lightful to her many friends. Mr Arthur, who will be pleasantly remembered for bis splendid singing at the recent concert, bas coser ted to lend bis superb voice for tbe oc casion. The people of Sumter ought to let no oppor tunity to show their appreciation of Sumter's splendid band be lost, and we earnestly hope they will crowd the hall to its utmost capaci ty on tbe evening in question. Tickets, 50 cts and 35 cts. A Disagreeable Duty (?) Performed. Statkbcrg, S. C , April 19, 1890. Editor Watchman and Southron : In nominating a man for office I take it that you invite with pleasure the opinions of all, those who oppose as heartily as those who approve. And it is often by tbe criticism of opponents that a candidate h?s an opportu nity of setting himself straight. It is about as disagreeable a duty as a private citizen, however, can set himself, to criticize adverse ly a public character who has gained a de served reputation, in some respects, for effi ciency in office, when he does it with a proper sense of responsibility. As it is a duty that every citizen owes to himself and his fellow citizens, no matter how bumble he may be, I propose to express my humble objections to tbe nomination of Mr. Earle for Governor, trying simply to present the truth, as it ap pears to me, setting down naught in malice, and with no captious spirit. In the first place, then, some years ago Mr. Earle put himself on record as belong ing to the stripe of politicians who believes that "To tbe victors belong tbe spoils," by using his influence in the Senate to have every Drmocrauc county officer removed, that he could, who had workei agaiost him in tbe campaign, replacing them with others who worked for him, with no prefrrred charges against the former, and when asked for an explanation, replied in arrogant language that he "would make any explanations to bis friends, but his enemies should have none." This was pitiful enough then, but since Cleveland's eulightening administration it would be like taking a step back into the darkness of ten years ago to make a man governor of South Carolina who has shown so low an estimate of the obligations of pub lic office. And again, in '88 Attorney General Earle allowed his name to stand in tbe papers for three weeks as nominee for Governor, and when the Convention met and it wa3 too late for the Tillman men, who supported him, (and that, too, after it had been made to ap pear that he and they were violently opposed) to choose another candidate, he withdrew. What security could we feel that be would not do us likewise? And again, when called by Mr. H. R. Thomas "a elippery fish" for this conduct, he did not think it necessary to explain but when he met Mr. Thomas he in sulted aod assaulted him, and ri?ht under the j very eaves of the "Temple of Justice," when he, Iba highest sworn conservator of the j peace in tbe State, prosecutes other law breakers as tbe people elected him to do. This did not prevent tbe Attorney General going right on in his office of prosecutor. No action was taken about it at all, by himself or any one else. It was enough to make R. T. Jones, of Edpefield, laugh to see him. Not loag since the Governor cancelled the commission of a Trial Justice for going along with a friend to witness a fisticuff, which would have been more to be admired, if it bad been consistent with his conduct towards the Justice's superior officer. What more natural than a lot of fighting trial justices, subordinates of an Attorney General who belieres in setting himself right, against ac cusations of bad faith, with his fists? If this conduct was not thought worthy of notice hy those whose doty it was to notice it, it ap peared so preposterous to the rest of the country that a picture of the scuffle appeared in The Police Gazette. Think of the Attor ney General of South Carolina being thought worthy of "a place in the picture" with the law breakers of the United States ! We should "feel shamed through all our nature." The principles which governed his actions as Se ator and Attorney General would, when Governor, and I and many others, who believe that a man has no more right to use public office to reward friends and punish op ponents, or enemies, as Mr. Earle thinks them, than he has to use the public funds, cannot conscientiously support him. Judg ing by the past we would never fee! safe with the appointing power in his hands, not know ing when the peace and dignity of the State might be outraged. To my mind, Gen McCrady is right when he saje that Tillmanism is a symptom of rl s contect in the State, and to overcome bim we must remove the disease. If we put op any man of Mr. Earle's stamp it will be like try* ing to remove the symptom with the disease. There is no sort of doubt that country peop'a generally are sick of professional politicians and some of their methods, and those who differ with Tillman only differ as to the meth ods of making a change. If Tillman had made his charges with discretion and had specified those he made, and had had the backbone to stand up to them, he would not bave bad to resort to the practices that he has to 1? uur next Governor, for he would bave bad practically all of the farmers behind bim who are tired of professional politicians. Sow, I predict that if Mr. Earle is pitted ipainst him, Tillman will be our next Gov ernor. For one will be a very crooked step forward and the other will be a very stiff step backward. Now, Mr. Editor, I have put things plainly "or the sake of plainness and have tried to present the truth as it appears to me, and I ira sure many others If I have made any mistakes or done any injustice I am willing to make any explanations, from corrections nade in the same spirit I have tried to show, [f I have misjudged the candidate of the people, what I have said will amount to noth ng and fall from its own weight. If, bow ivrr, there Is any truth in it, it will be sure to bear fruit, no matter who squirms. I have waited some weeks to express my views on :he nomination, hoping it would be unnec essary, thinking that Mr. Earle would decline ifter telling the correspondent of the News tod Courier, so positively, not long ago, that be would not be a candidate for any office.
