WEDNESDAY, MAY 21. The Sumter Watchman wa6 founded io I860 and the True Southron in 1866. The Watchman and Southron now has the combined circulation and influence of both of the old papers, and is mani? festly the best advertising medium in Sam ter. CARLISLE SENATOR. Hon. John G. Carlisle, e.-Speaker of Congress, was on the 17th inst, elect? ed United States Senator to fill the vacancy caused by the lamented death of Senator Beck. ABUSE (?) OP TILLMAN. We hear a great deal of talk about the abase of Tillman, bot have heard a very little abose of the high-toned, col tared, urbane and modest gentleman. We hare seen and heard many of his statements and arguments refuted ; if that be abase then be ought to make the most of it. Since the Charleston World has pub? lished his picture there is no longer any need to abuse bim, 'he has been strick? en in the house of his friend.' That picture would make a fine mural adornment for the editorial sanctum of the World, but ought not to be inflicted on the public. L?mSIA?A LOTTERY. _________ i It looks now as if the days of the j huge swindle, located at New Orleans, under the above name, are numbered. The Governor of Louisiana bas sent a message to the Legislature urging its - abolition, and the anti-lottery sentiment in that body is rapidly growing. Un? less a two-thirds vote io each bouse can be secured by the friends of the bill now before the legislature extending its charter, the mammoth fraud is doomed, for the bill will bave to be passed over the executive veto. The people of the State are being thoroughly aroused against it, and great mass meetings now being held throughout the State, are sendic? in strong res? olutions and petitions protesting against the renewal of the iniquitous charter. NEW NEWSPAPERS, There are so many new county pa? pers being started in different parts of the State that it is bard to keep up with them. Our exchanges are becoming so numerous that it requires a great deal of time to read them. Among the latest candidates for journalistic honors we prominently mention the Summerton Star, published and edited by Mr. P G. Bowman formerly of the Bishop ville Enterprise. Mr. Bowman bas begun bis publication with flattering and substantial testimonials, of the hear? ty sympathy and co-operation of the people of Summerton. Every business man in that village advertises with him, and judging from the copies that have reached us, Mr. Bowman will make his paper worthy of the liberal support be is receiving. We trust that the paper will become a Star of the first mag? nitude. The Chester Enterprise, another bustling candidate for public favor pub? lished by Rufe Pickens Davis & Co., issued its first copy OD the 16-h instant Taking that issue as an earnest of what the Enterprise will be, wo confidently predict a bright future for it. Shake ! UNYEILINC^TiiE LEE STATUE. The unveiling of the statoe to Gen Bob't E. Lee at Richmond, Va., next week, will likely be the last of the great celebrations in the South growing ont of the civil war, until the unveiling of the proposed monument to Jefferson Davis. There is no name in the Sooth so universally honored, no memory so universally loved as the name and memory of Robert E. Lee. While j Davis has his detractors, the whole world unites in homage to the brave, gifted, high-soul ed ?nd patriotic Lee There has been no such figure, take it ali in ail, in American history as K ;b ert E L e, the blameless and stainless Chevalier, the noble and geotle-souied. the refined, cultured, lovable and loving man of incomparable genius and match? less ?aient. The best war critics estimate him as the greatest soldier born CL American soil and the greatest, bu: o&e, Marl? boro, of the English speaking ra :e. All the States of ?he South, iu a few days, wilt unite in paying to ? is mem? ory the profound and sincere tribute of hearts that revere virtue aod minds that recognize trne greatness, lie was the foremost mao of his age and country. But while we admire his genius and read, with kindling eye and bounding heart, of his great achievements on the tented fields of war, we love him best for that he turned his back upon the wealth and soft blandishments that the admiration of Europe offered him. to live out bis honored life in the amidst of his crushed and oppressed people, show? ing in this sacrifice a greatness far ex? ceeding that displayed in battle. We see from the papers that every considerable town in the South will send ifs contingent of military or veterans. In Charlotte, N.C , the Board of Trade pay? the expenses of the Hornet Rifles, yet here in Sumter the merchants are, in many instances, threatening to charge their 3lerks for the time they .hall be absent with the S. L. I. at Richmond. We are glad to be able to state that such conduct is not genera! with our merchants, many of whom are heartily seconding the efforts of our soldier boys to get off. Sumter ought to be well represen and our merchants aud others ough do all to their power to make the o< sion one of uumixed pleasure to th who represent us, by minimizing coat of the trip. To "dock" tl wages for time lost to the mercha while dischaaging what we conceiv< be a sacred and patriotic duty would ungenerous, and we do not believe merchants will have the heart to do t MR. H. B-THOMAS AND T] W. AND S. Mr. Thomas may take his rule conduct from Mr. Tillman but we m respectfully decline to take ours fr Mr. Thomas. He accuses us of be ..one-sided"; how many "sided'' Mr. Thomas? We did not publish the speech of 3 Tillman delivered at Ridgeway for i very simple reason that ail clippit published in the Watchman and Sou ron go on the outside of the paper a that side had already been made when Mr Tillman made his speech. \ did not publish it the following we because it had become stale and h lost its position as news. We oSer our columns to our corn pondents simply as a vehicle to coov their ideas to the public. If our cc respondents are too ignorant and il! erate to properly construct aud pun tuate their articles, and for that reas< withhold their communications fro our columns the public is not apt to lo much by such forbearance. We can cot see that this "new law, j as Mr. Thomas is pleased to term i j can be considered as "an unjust di ! crimination against unskilled writers. The "new law" applies alike to tho? who support and those who oppose Til maoism. Mr. Thomas seems to take for granted that only the "unskiile writers" are on the side of Tillman. I refutation of this assumption we hal only to point to the voluminous corres poodence of Mr. Thomas himself wine finds its way into print. And, too, Mr. Thomas may not b unaware that the articles sent in by on man often bears the ear marks and sig manual of another. Such things wi! happen and we suppose it is just a well that these communications fror "unskilled writers" should be revised corrected and punctuated before reach ing us, by skilled pens-like that of Mr Thomas for instance. The writer had not begun the rudi ment8 of his education at the time wbei the Tillmanites were engaged in th pleasant pastime of "punctuating Fan kee hides with minnie balls,7' but th? gentleman who usually does the work o correcting and punctuating the article that come to this office from "unskillei writers," like these "unskilled writers' themselves, received all his schooling at old field schools. We do not fear that we will be mis understood by our readers, Mr. Thoma; to the contrary notwithstanding. Whet we fall out among ourselves, we wouic be foolish to trim a stick for our adver saries to crack our beads with. Any article, on any other subject that thu which is threatening our unity as i party will always be properly dress?e up before appearing in public, but when one Democrat writes an artich abusing other Democrats-when a mern ber of one class denounces all othei classes while all claim to be of one po? litical faith, it is nothing but right thai we ieproduce the article precisely as ii comes to us. We guess it is best that we stick to our "new law." 'Our con science will not rise up to upbraid anc to shame us.' . We trust our explanation, while noi apologetic, will, nevertheless, be satis? factory to Mr. Thomas. We thought the Clemson College wai intended for higher education, and learc for the first time from Mr. Thomas, that it ts intended to teach Tillmanites how to write and punctuate articles in i tended fur publication in the newspa pers Mr Thomas, we fear, not satis? fied with trying to impose rules for the conduct of our paper, is prescribing a new, and hitherto unrhought of, cur? riculum for that co:l?*ge. 1'established by Mr. Tillman'' for which he (Mr. Thomas) devoutly thanks God. That sentence in Mr. Thomas' letter about the "shackles'' has a dramatic ring about it that ought to "briug dowu the house " A DEFECTIVE STATUTE. The act of the General Assembly, of the session of 1889, A A 207, Sec. 2424, page 0^3. in relation to forfeited and delinquent lands and the collection of taxes on tte same provides that such lands shall he advertised for sale for a certaiu length of time ai:d that the "printer's charge f >r advertising shall not exceed :>.) cen is f?>r each tract of land, and *J.'> cents for personal prop? erty, levied on under execution, &a " Thus, it will ne seen that the adver ! tising rates of the newspapers ure ar : bitrarily fixed by an act of the L?gis ! lature. but, unfortunately, it was not I J j possible to comjt'l the newspapers to j publish. j lt is usual in the A tts of thi* kind to j provide another method of advertising I where the newspapers refuge to take the public printing af the prices fixed by the Legislature, and the alternative method is ordinarily posting in three j conspicuous places in as many parts of I the County. in the A tt in question no j such provision is made. \V? un ler ; stand that the Attorney General con ! strues the A ;t to mean that the adve - i tising of these lands shall be through 'the columns of the newspapers alone, j and that tu the absence of any provision j for posting, advertisement through the ! latter method would not be a sufficient (compliance with the statute. At the rates fixed bj the Legislatur6 no paper can undertake the required advertising without incurring loss. We beg to call the attention of the State press to this defective statute and ask how it is working in the different counties. Sheriff Carson has prepared his ad? vertisements and is ready to turn them over to the printer, but the advertising for year before last, even under the old rates, not haviog yet been paid for, the IF. and S. bas declined to do the work until some more satisfactory guarantee that the cost will be paid is assured. Where the lauds are bought in by the Sinking Fund Commission, as ts gener? ally the case, there is no assurance that the costs ever will be paid. This state ment is justified by our own experience In the first place the price is too small, and in the next, the term of credit for the work under the present arrangement is indefinite. Sheriff Carson has received from the authorities at Columbia the letters pub lished below in reply to letters from him asking a solution of the difficulty. It will be observed that the Secretary of State says the cost will be paid by his department. Yet his department has not paid the costs of similar work j done two years ago at this office. I COLUMBIA, May 14, 1890. ! Mr. E Scott Carson, Sheriff, Sumter, S. C. DEAR SIR : Posting sale will not answer you will have to advertise. This is the con? clusion the Attorney General and myself come to. Yours, &c, J. S. VERNES, C. G. 'CoLn.Bi?, May 14, 1890. Mr. E Scoit Carson, Sheriff, Sumter, S. C. DEAR SIR : Your letter of May 13th to Coropt. General has been by bini referred to me to answer. Replying to same, say that upon each parcel of land by the Sheriff sold and deeded and turned over to the Sinking Fund Commission according to law, this department will pay the printer's charge of 50 cents and sheriff s fee of twenty-five cents total to Sheriff and printer of 75 cents for advertising as provided iu Act No. 207, See Act of 1889, pages 246 & 247. These lands must be advertised in papers. Respectfully, J. Q. MARSHALL Secretary of State. Refrigerators-Durant & Belitzer. Wire stands for Pots-Durant & Belitzer. Hanging Vases at Durant & Belitzer.
