The watchman and southron. (Sumter, S.C.) 1881-1930, May 21, 1890, Image 3
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
