I. 1 With thu issue sf the Watchman and Southron we begin Vol. Xl, since the consolidation of the Sumter Watch? man mod the True Southron. The Watchman was established in \ 1850. The Tm Southron in 1866. j* la 1881 it came into our power to S consolidate these papers, and onr ^ judgment convinced ns that it would be aa advantage to the community and to ca?etas to do so. S Stace the consolidation we have jj labored each year to maintain and ic- U orease that influence that the two papers Jj had striven BO long to gain. Whether ei we;havedooe so, or not, we leave it ^ with the comm an i ty to judge ; hot at C aaj rate we know we have given a g? dena newsy paper, free from those w ??rational, scandal mongering features ?' to mach effected by some journals. sp It aaa always been, and shall still be, s? oar chief aim to advance the interests Tl I hs of onr city and county. It is gratify- co to know that our efforts, in the past, T have not been in Tain, for when we look about as we see paying e o ter pr i- ^ ?es sad valuable improvements that . were ant suggested and then urged fio] ta oar colamos. j ag We appreciate the staunch and libe? ral ?ndorseoeut we have always re- I. weired; and are determined to merit a ^. continuance of tho same, bj onr future go o wie. , mm^^mm,-?-Wu OUR POSITION. ly " Some of oar readers and eorrespon- j dents do not seem to understand the j pos&ow we hare taken in regard to the Cai ewb-Treasury bill. For their benefit we ?fi) will state it briefly and plainly. a *< Wa are not opposed to the Alliance ^ and never hare been To the contrary, J we awe? advocated. jL-??i5-?S^5i^J^aT0 >v^se?cs?ic?l? this state, whenever its J . ssaaaaras hare seemed to us to be wise ^ ( sad conducive to tbs best interests of QOt tba farmers. But when measures were Qr?? adopted by that body that we could not -Qte regard as jost or wise, we hara ex- tjjac pressed our opinion candidly, leaving L^j .others to do likewise, if they differed unities. And here we stand in regard te the snb-Treasnry bill. While we ^ look upon this bill as onwise in con ce p- ^ rion, unjust in its provisions, and, if ^ j carried into effect, sure to result ic disaster to the whole country, we hare ne desire, or intention, to force these *"?Q I whet opinions upon anyone. Neither do we desire to shat off argument, in fact, we ^ ^ advocate argument as the only remedy that will avail as aa antidote for this a?&" popaltr fallacy. Hence, our coin mos PfiC are always open to any subscriber of this ^ paper, who has views to express on this, tQr ^ cr any other question. If the person does ^ not wish to sign his name to the com m a ni- ^t cation, we will publish it unsigned, ^ provided his same and address is fur- ^ nished with the article. We should meot prefer, however, that each article be is of followed by t 'se author's correct name, easilj Now a word to our regular corres- ^oe ? pendants: v Your weeklyl etters form one " .f the most attractive features of oar aar paper; and we woald be pleased to twosirc a tetter from each poetoffice in *_ . . . count ?ie county erery week, ginng the news ^ af the neighborhood, condensed into .hort paragraphs. Bot we would ask ow corresponden ts to refrain from giving ^ * their riews respecting political, or other ^ ^ vublic questions in their weekly letters, for th? reason. They are part of the oew^ staff of this paper, and as such wa are, ^ in a measure, responsible for such a,?. J . . j this S opinions as they there express, and very ^ often we do not agree. If, however, at aar time our regular correspondents Proml m . ... . . - whose desire to express their views, just write . . . , . , impor a separate communication, enclose with . ... ? MI . Ine t year weekly letters and we will see to it ^ that it is published. There A portion of oure Providence corres apcndeutV last letter related to the sub- 4uarr Treasury bill, and was omitted with the sourc< intention of making a separate com tat un i happe cation of it, but that part of it was left noih;,i ever for this week to make room for uagtv local matter, that would not have been * news if left over a week. The portion c07er: left over is inserted in this issue. the m ??^^?P'ggggg^^g quasi THIS COOSAW DECISION. re8p01 . Chief Justice Fuller, to whom the ?ew ease berreen the State and the Coosaw oaligf Phosphate Company was referred, both be wr parties agreeing that his decision should the j aa final, has filed his opinion, Judge Priwl Simonton concurring. He decides that ^oc^ * the charter of the company expired io often 1891, and that they have not a per- g0 petaal license to mine rock from the we gi Coosaw Hirer. Io this decision the stand taken by paper' Gor. TiSlmaa is rindicatcd by the law jv ? bearing on the ease. It is there- blMO fore, a great legal rictory for Tillman *"<j ?l and his advisors. ?ry But we still maintain that Gov. ?eeow Tillsaan did not select the most advise- tD? in Ms coarse, er the one calculated to save ?Nf?H' most to the taxyayers of the State, ptied There was no necessity for legal pro eeedings, or foe driving the Coosaw ditioo Company oat of the territory it had JJT" turprored. The better, easier and cheaper way would have been for the Legislature to eave raised tie royalty. If this had foJlow besa done, we believe the Sute would aut ? feaas been saved all the needless ex- J. W; pense inaarred in this snit, No. 4 We await with interest the next act fcUerl in the Coosaw dram*. I No. 1 WIDE AND ACCURATE INFOR? MATION. Some of Governor Tillman state? ments in his speech at Fort Hill, ap? pears to be on a par with some of his last year's campaign statistics--without foundation of fact. He says? "Look into our factories and you will find that the foremen there received their mechanical education at ?he North. Our men and women in ;bese factories are mere underlings, rbey are without that skill consid jred by mill presidents necessary o fit them to be heads cf departments, md as a consequence they mast be im K>rted from Yankeedom." And again : 'Every machine shop in Sooth Caro ina has a Northern man at its head.'7 Now comes Mr. W*. G. Smith, of Jlifton, S. C., to a letter to the News nd Courter, with the following facts : <4We give the following five mills in the . oath for example: Pelter Mills, Saperia- * indent Benjamin Guy, of Augusta, Ga. ?rec overseers, all Southerners. Piedmont tills, superintendent James Her, of Augusta, a., eight overseers, all Southerners. Pacolet ills, Superintendent H. G. Stone, Nortb .ner, three- overseers, ail Southerners, partan Mills, Superintendent Alvin Green, j 1 ortherner, three overseers, ill Southerners. ? o liffon Mills, Superintendent H D. Wheat, 'Columbia, S- C., eight overseers, all >utherners. The presidents }f these mills .ea?l Southern men except one, and he has ?en South long enough to be called a Sou in? ner. Tbe#e mills represent about 204,000 indies, 6,000 looms with a capital of $5, 0.000, or four-fifths of the spindles of the ate, or nine-tenths of the looms * * * m ie mills that I have given for examples all t( ve machine shops filled with the most replicated machinery and requiring skilled h leninist?, which they have, and all are t: a them men." As we have often before remarked. m vi is Excellency should be careful in his Q ttemeuts. He might be judged by ?ne people as misstating facts ; where :t may be mere ignorance. t We are glad to know that oar facto- th s are filled, to a great extent with ac illed workmen who were raised down ne nth. And we hope to see the day ^ es it will be not almost, bufc entire- ?a so. THE DIFFERENCE. co t is said that Jerry Simpson, the Kansas tD< igressman, traveled through Georgia, in tai inch" McBee's special car. That was , right. Col.

We are asking fer information only. According to the Cotton Plant some of the Southern Democratic dailies are on very familiar terms with Republican papers Are they more familiar than are some leaders with Greenbackers? And by the way we would like to know the po? litical affiliations of National Lecturer : Willies. i The Maryland Democratic conven- . tion met last week and nominated Hon. ! Frank Brown for Governor. Gorman's ' course in the Senate was endorsed, and 1 Cleveland's administration was praised. | Altogether it was a harmonious Demo iratic jubilee. \ Gov Hill of New York, continues to \ seep his Southern admirers in an un- S ?omfortable state of uncertainty.

McKinley, Republican candi- H ate for Governor of Ohio, seems to be A jarful that he will need something Si ith a truer ring than his past record lu ) aid him to carry the election. He sa as appealed to the Republican Na- iai onal Committee for money, and that R leans the purchase of the floating L< Hers, so numerous in Ohio. The G. ?. P., is hard pressed uow-a-days. The election in Kentucky on the 3rd, th as, as usual, a Democratic victory, G te majority reaching 40,000, it is " ought. An entire set of State officers \y id Legislature were elected and the A.
