T. S? C^A,r-Our Young Men
An AvaiBiDChe of Questions.
Tit^^^rcf-?i Watchman $ Southron:
Doe * ?t> takes an interest in toe things that
coaoarn the welfare of our place and people,
dedres to ask the aid of your influential jonr
n vi in ascertaining why certain things are as j
t^yaKtoany^jt;dbej cannot be remedied.
'Trairfi would ??k? to kbovr why our .t?ain
Street ts blocked by cotton bales? I haye
hewd bot one semblance of reason suggested
for it, namely:- that it giver to visitors the
idea that an immense business is done in
Sumter-it wears that appearscce to see the
m^to thoroughfH re blocked by cotton bales
sod the wagons that haul them.
Well, who are ?he visitors thus impressed ?
Meotly drammers. Do they belong to the
capitalist class npon whom we moat depend
for ? ort ber development? Do they carry
weight aaJ influence with capitalists ? Cer?
tainly not. What object, then, is accomplish?
ed by making drummers think and say we do
a good business ? The sole object accomplish?
ed-ts tbat ocr rani ty is flattered by hearing
Ml occasional traveling mm say "Sumter is
thc busiest looking tows I have seen."
Another thing : Why should we care so
mach fqr tee appearance of business, when
w^^t rioter? WiU the appearance ever
CM*fe4Be rtai?ty ? "Is a man who is rieb, or
learned, or great, always seeking tc impress
others by appearing to be rieb, or learned, or
great i Never I He is satisfied with the reality.
Bat the reality, of business witt always create
the appei?inca/?f it-30 the lovers of appear?
ance ooght to be satisfled.
Aga? : If abundance of cotton bales creates
the appearance of business, why would not
large pHes of boxes, barrels, hogsheads and
crataj?? ajopg- Jlain Street, have the same
effi&?T -They- certainly would, but, observe,
merchants are furokideo by town ordinance
to pile ?>p such things as advertiseiheir busi?
ness ?n front of their stores-it is only king
,eotH??rab can be thus bc jred. A mer?
chant ie forbidden even to expose on the side?
walk 1RS goods and wares. But others may
a4verti-<- their occcpnTi^n bj piling up cot-,
ton feaies^-ky-highM if they please. Is this
bur an? '?-a* ? I trow cot ! -
Again : Withing week-There were two cot?
ton fires recently 00 Main Street, fortuuately
discovered io tinte to.prevent disaster. This
sho^that ?tfce presence of so' much cotttoo
oa^Wtr 'narrow Hhorc^srbfare is a perpetual
i to property. The immunity from dis
1 hitherto enjoyed cannot coatiooe forever.
Setae fine wiady day or night the fire fiend

peop?e, though they fully recognize the dan?
ge^ ??i? however, wait 00til that predicted

.o?r young men of any opportunity for eelf

there is a perfect rash. .The clerks have to

KatoFdSJy dfgfrisr Let tnio notice be gi Fen for
two Consecutive Saturdays, and then, on the

ally take place at 10 'o'clock. It might re?
sult i na very few ?brigg; deprived of the
cbabtfe WWkTI&tor^?al night, but that would
never occur a second rime. Wheu euee he
fore such an agreement was made only to be
violated, it came about by reason of the fact
that the colored people had not been previous j
ly notified, and wheo ten o'clork earn?, sev*
?raTsteres were fall of them waiting to buy
ibeir week's provisions. One merchant seul
word to bis neighbor to say how be was situ
.. ted, and kept his store open, and the neig' -
bor similarly situated, kept his store open.
So-did all the others,'ead the movement CM me

cause for want of timely notice to customers
it failed once, is there any reason to appre?
hend-that it will fail again, if properly ad

their labors long and continuous, their hour

on Sa oday that many of tbenHieabed until

abe importance of tbe subject, are m ?de to in?

may go and read; or play^ gamea, or exercise
in a gymnasium, bot we afeserye that the bar
and billiard rooms are brilliantly illuminated
and every inducement is held out to get them
there, and, I have been informed, there ?re

No one in London appears to b

BIOGRAPHICAL SKETCH.
Charles Stewart Parnell was born
Avondale, in coaoty Wicklow, Irelai
in the year 1846. He was a descei
ant of the poet Parnell, and his fa m
have been associated with Irish pari
mectary life for upwards of a centu
His great graodfatber. Sir John P
nell, was chancellor of the exchequer
the time of Grattan's parliament. .
Henry Parnell, grand uncle of Mr. P;
neil, was a prominent member of t
Eog?sh parliament io the time of L ;
Grey and Lord Melbourne, and?
mado Lord Congleton. Mr. Parne
whose mother is-a daughter of Admit
Charles Stewart, the celebrated Ame
eau narai officer, was educated at Ca:
^bridge University, bat did not take ai
degree. After a tour in Ameriea
settled down en his property in Avo
dale. On the death of John Martin,
1875, Mr. Parnell stood for coan
Meath, and was elected. Mr. Paru?
first took an active part in paHiataenta
affairs in the session of 1873, when,
association with Mr. Bigger, he toil
ated what was known by the vario
names of the * Obstructive" and tl
' Active*' policy. Ile joined in the foui
dation of the Land League and in Oct
ber, 1879, was elected its first pre*
dent. At the general election of 18$
he was elected for the city of Co.k. h
was elected :.n May, 1880, leader of tl
new party I y twenty-three to eightee
votes for Mr. Shaw. He took an acth
part in the Lind League agttatioi
After the Land Act was passed. M:
Parnell was arrested in 0 -tobcr, 1881
on a charge of intimidation and o?
structing* the working of that act. H
was released in May, 1882 At th
general election of 1885 he was ri
elected for Cork. Mr. Parnell forme
an alliance with the liberals and by tb
vote-of the Irish party overthrew th
former government of Lord Salisbur
(January 26. 1886) Mr Parnell'
name has since been prominently befor
the public in connection with the Hom
Rule proposals of Mr. Gladstone.
The proceedings of che parliamentar
commission, which resulted in a victor
for Mr Parnell against the Thies. an<
the exposure of the Pigott forgeries; th
O'Shea divorce proceedings and Mr
Parnell's marriage, are matters fresh ii
the minds of all.
Brighter Prospects.
Henry Clews, of New York, ha
been giving his views about the buoi
ness outlook ana its beariug upot
stocks, &c. After a brief survey o
the situation iu the s'ock market, b<
draws a pretty bright horoscope as foi
lows :
Bat the one great fact remains tba)
of all nations cn the earth we aro t ii ii
year most wonderfully favored in re?
spect to thc products of the foil. WH
assured pleuty at home and scarcif)
abroad thc farming c-asses of thc
[Jotted States have before them a per'od
of prosperity to which they have loi g
bseu strangers. Nut only th* railroad
and bu-inees interests general y will
I bene?i directly from large and paying
crops, but in another respect, so far no!
fully appreciated, will they receive ad?
vantage Tlie farmer? of the nor h
I west have fur 5ears b e*i overridden
j with debt ; and the d scontent thus
I prompted has be?n at th*t bottom of all
the injurious currency and anti railroad
agitations. If the estimate that cur
wheat, corn, o it and cotton crop* will
prove worth ?2,000 000 000, and there
is no reason to ?oubt. these figures, it is
safe to assert thar, hundred* of ?ni U ions
! ?f farm mortgages will be paid off, in
part or full. L-riders have had .-uch
unpleasant experiences with this sort of
security that they w?il be glad to regain
their money ; and borrowers will be
equally eager to escape th* heavy inter?
est charges wbicii swamped hurd earned
savings. Contentment will succeed
discontent amongst the farmers, and we
shall hear less of the crazy currency
and silver agitations wln^h have he'd
capital iu fear and trembling the la.?.t
few years. F? r the farmer*' alliance
ihcrc will bc no fut tuet Usc wnal'vsr;
J and we may also hope for more decent
treatment of railroad iuterests from the
various State legislatures. On the.oth
er band, the capital released from farm
mortgages must Sod investment some?
where ; and this, as already said, is a
point often overlooked in estimating the
future demand for stocks. Such influ?
ences as these are at the bottom of the
j present movement, and account for the
{stubbornness with which the public is
i holding fast to stocks.*'
Much of the capital released from
farm mortgages here referred to as
seeking investment somewhere- will
doubtless turn Southward where it will
find employment in the building of
railroads, opening of mines, establish?
ing of manufactories, iron mills and
other industries, and thus the South
will gain by the great grain crop of the
West and be a sharer in the general
prosperity.- Wilmington Star.

The South Must Raise Bread
stuffs.
In an editorial published last winter
upon the importance of the South rais?
ing a large corn crop this year, the
Manufacturers* Record stated that the
grain crops of 1890 were so small that,
even if the yield of 1891 should be up
j to the highest mark, there would be a
full demand for all the corn produced
to counter-balance the deficiency in last
year's crops. This was based simply
upon the normal consumption require?
ments of this country and Europe, and
no account was taken of any unusual
demand from Europe. The failure of
European crops assures a demand at
good prices for every bushel of wheat
and corn that we ean spare, and we will
enter the crop year of 1892 with low
stocks of grain. Even should 1892
duplicate the enormous yield of cereals
in 1891 aud Europe have fair crops,
prices must inevitably be well main?
tained for in July, 1892, our stocks of
wheat and corn will be very nearly, if
not quite, as low as in July 1891.
Moreover the opening of the German
and other markets to American pork
will materially help to increase the
price of bacon and coro.
Fortunately the farmers of the Sooth
have this year raised from 75,000,000
to 100,000 000 bushels of grain more
than in 1890, and the South is made
richer by at least ?75,000,000 by it
But next year must show a still greater
increase in wheat, corn aud oats in the
South, and also in the raising of provi?
sions. It may be accepted without
'question that grain and provisions will
continue high for at least two years,
I even if 1892 gives us the largest crops
I ever produced, and if the crops of that
year should be small the Southern farm?
er who has to buy bis foodstuffs will
have a bad time of it.-Manufacturer s
Record.
Greatly to His Credit
Mr. Roswell P. Flower was a mem?
ber of the House of Representatives of
the Forty-seventh and Fifty first Con?
gresses. The sneeches he made ia
either would not exceed the limit of a
?fty page pamphlet. They are very
good reading, terse, forcible and to the
point, and they are evidently the utter?
ances of a man who has something to
say.
But Mr.' Flower demonstrated the
possession of what i-j, perhaps, a rarer
] gift than oratory He showed that -fie
had a particularly sensitive legislative
conscience. He strictly aud consistent?
ly refused to accept pay for any day
that he was absent from the House on
his own badness. After his election
to the Forty-seventh Congress he sold
some securities which he owned of the
Union Paeifij -Railroad; h-sthis action
as a legislator should be in auy way
hampered by their possession. This
sale was effected at a los considerably
greater than the amount of his salary as
a Congressman.
Such evidences of scrupulous recti
t ide are sufficiently rare to be quoted
to the credit of the man who bas given
th?m.-New York World:
A son of Associate Justice Lamar,
who is an attorney, went to Roanoke,
Va., to attend to a case for a client.
Oue of tbs parties to the suit deliberate?
ly insulted the young mao when the
latter pompt-y knocked-lim down,
stamped him in the face, and then weut
into the court room and woo his suit.
It is quite the fashion now to take De
Witt's Little Early Risers for liver, stomach \
and howel disorders. They ar<- small pills,
but mighty good ones W. ?l.rGilli?a'nd t Co,
