WEDNESDAY, NOV. 25, '9U The ?Sumter Watchman was founded ia ?S5? and the 2Vwe SoarAron in 1866. The rfatefotta? and Southron now has tb? combined circulation and influence cf both of the old papers, and is mani? festly the best advertising medium tn Sauter. v i ?DITOBIAIi NOTES. We think it would be io order for the Board of Trade to requnc General Manager Averill of the Charleston, Sumter, aod North? ern R. to provide accommoda ?ions for carry icgpassengers oa the local freight on that road. "What applies to tbe Quasi Line, also applies to th? C. S. & N> The Baltimore 'Manufacturers' Record states that a combination of the Roanoke & South sro, the Cape Fear and Yadkin Valley, and the Charleston Sumter aod Nsrlhern Rail? roads is propable. We trust it is so, for it will give a through outlet to the West, and -mil greatly benefit this section. Congressman Synum, of Indiana,- one of tba men prominently mentioned for the Speakership of the House of Representatives,' . bas withdrawn from the contest io favor of Mill?, of Texas. This narrows the contest down to Crisp and Mills, with the chances ia Taw of Mills. The Republican party is essentially the pr?rty of boodie, and to the managers lt makes no difference bow they get it.' Their latest dodge to get money is an offer to bold the National convention in the city giving the most money asan inducement. Taey claim that there is a debt of $40,000 incurred for expenses at the last convention held in Chicago and that the city that gets tbs next convention must pay that debt ; 'while the Chicago people claim that all expenses were paid by that city. The cur trat belier that it is a mere subterfuge to get $-uyjOOO.rMinnenpolis has already offered $60, 000, and alt expenses, and unless som? other city goes higher she will get it.. A number -of cities are still to be heard from and there -is no stying how much will be offered. Boodle triumphs, as usual, ia the Repub li ?an party. The latest reports state that Men wctapolb has captured the National Republican convention, and that it will meet on June 7th *J3. Boodle did it. . The American soil is not congenial to mili tarj dictatorships. De Fooseca, the Pr?si? dant of Brasil, who so recently assumed dic? tatorial powers a cd dismissed Congress, bas been forced ta abdicate his position by the ?nited seaittaent of the people, and in a short the constitutional government will be again in force. Wo are rot given to sounding our own pnuaes, but we have jost cause for gratifica? ban over the replacing of the passenger coach on the freight train between this place and Florence. Wheo the carryiag of passengers -was discontinued about a month ago, we rai-' -mediately called attention to the fact that'the -trade of the city would be injured thereby, j and that the people living on the line of the sxad would be seriously inconvenienced also. At the next meeting of tue Board of Trade, a r .committee was appointed to confer with ?be -Coast Line authorities, and request that pas? sengers be carried on thi? train. The letter - of Gen'l Manager Kealy in reply to the com? mittee is given in another column, wh-re it wiH be seen chat the freight train will carry .passengers after the SO:h instant. We would call attention to the article on ^another page concerning the Young Men's 'Christian Association as a business ?Gvest? ment. There cannot be too much said in praise .of the Y. M. C A. in any light it m*y be * -Tiewed. A well managed Association is the Crest need of this place. It would furnish V a place for the you-.g men to spend their ?vet "iga, surrounded- by moral jt;fl; i-es. ** : s addition of a good library, gymoa and bath rooms, every need in these linet wowid be supplied. No one need be . debarred from ^participating in these ad? vantages, as any one may become an as? sociate member, no matter what his religious viewsv?od hfive all the rights of the ac;ive ?f?jheij, save a voice in the management of the Association. CAN AL-PRO S PEE! T Y ! ^^ittjpeopje^of 4Co^^^ the j turning of wafer ihtcTthe completed canal on f-vjt Saturday. It was a day of rejoicing for everybody in Columbia that has. trie prosper? ity of the city at heart ; and there are people al] over the State that sincerely unite with Columbia in her j ->y over the completed canal. The visions of prosperity that even the eoost pessimistic cannot fail to perceive will purely be realized-in the not distant future. There is no doubt tn our mind but that -Columbia is now on the crest of that tide that -will bear her oo to fortune and prosperity, if rightly grasad ; but un lee* the people of) Columbia get together as a unit and labor jtsceasingly to aid the growth of the city, all the natural advantages of the place and the inic?ense water power of the canal will be of at?urH,i\, and Columbia will nut grow rapidly and may ?ever deveiope into a large city. We believe that the people of Columbia see (Heir opportunity aad will do the utmost to reap thc harvest of prosperity With the canal furnishing' more than . 15,000 horse power, she should soon develop into the manufacturing center of the South Atlantic States; wi?h the one railroad facili? ties, Columbia will soon be ene of the princi? pal freight distributing centers of the State, and ber educational advantages will aid in drawing a desirable class of citizens mote than any other one of the attractions ?.bat,4he-4 capital ci r v has to offer. Columbia deserves the congratulations of the whole State at the completion of the cana?, sod there should be co one j -nions of her coming prosperity. Sumter extends ber heartiest and sincerest congratulations I THE ADVERTISING MUDDLE. . The "Dominant Element" io the persons of Dr Sampson Pope and J. Walter Gray, re? spectively Clerk of the Senate and House of Representatives undoubtedly dislike me State, and are averse to throwing any of the public jWuma in tim: direction. Hence, their action in awarding the public advertising to the Register, although the law directs 'that the advertising be given to the daily paper io Columbia having the largest circulation. Clerks Pope and Gray selected as a committee lo ascertain wb:ch paper had the larges' circu? lation, Mr. C H. Beard, book keeper of the Rt guter, and W.? M. Rc gera, an old em? ployee of the RrgiHer. The State as m i ??ht h-? ve been expected, ot-jected to the commitiee, but ?ubol?fTe<S uader protest. On Monday the aw*rd of advertising was made to the Register, and the Slate re. eived no notification of it save by rumor, until Clerks Pope and Grav were seen in person late that nizbt. The State claims that the committee -Messrs. Heard and Rogers, perj ired them? selves if they stated ?hat the circulation of j tt?e Stat? was less !!*.*n that of the Register, j aud that Clerks **< ?* a?>d Gray are ?q'inliy ; ? i - ! ty as wv 'tad ?r.e deletion of the com- j pstiee Shat ande lae repoit. The Stat j n?.w? it> off--, 'ucle previous to the awardr j to submit its books to a committee of disin? terested business men, advertisers in boto ; papers, and to abide the decision. Here .the ! matter rests, the Register has the public ad I vertising amounting to $22,000 per year, and ! the State has to suffer the imputation of hav i ing a smaller circulation than the Register j which seems to be the "most unkindest cut of I all" in the State's opinion. .Now as to our opinion of the affair, it is britfly given. By selecting the committee they did Clerks Pope and Gray have laid themselves liable to the suspicion of having previously decided to give the business to the Register, and only adopted a means of appear? ing lo comply with the letter of the law, while intending to disregard it, both letter and spirit. We do not entry the position of the honorable clerk?, for, unless it can be proven that the Rf guter really has the larger circulation, we do not believe that any right minded person,' whether a Tillmanite or cot, will sustain them in their high-handed and at the same time dishonorible trick to support the administration's "friendly, but weak'7 organ with the public advertising. With os, public prie ting is not a question of political sentiment, but of business. It should go to the paper that ie seen by the .greatest comber of people, irrespective of its party affiliations; ?od when it is given to any other paper to the exclusion of this one, a fraud is perpetrated upon the taxpayers ; consequently the public officials who award the public printing to a paper not entitled to it by reason of circulation, on account of support received, they are just a3 surely em? bezzlers of the public funds, as if they should enter into an agreement with that paper to receive a percentage on all business done, as a consideration for giving the work to it. Later reports State that Mr. A. E Gonzales, general agent of the State and Gen. J. Waiter Gray, and Mr. N. G. Gonzales, editor of the State, and Dr. Sampson Pope, had a personal difficulty io the lobby of the Grand Central Hotel last night. It seems that Gonzales got the better of Dr. Pope in the fight, and that Gen. Gray drew a pistol on A E. Gonzales and there was no fight between them as Gonzales ' was unarmed. The fight was the natural re? sult of the editorial tu yesterday's State. It is hard to say whether the end of the row has yet been reached. Dots Prom Sllio??s ELLIOTT'S, S. C., Nov 21,1891. Mr. E?itorz Short crops, low price for cotton and the pass word-hard-times, has been the chief topic of conversation in our community for quite a while. The question of whiskey or no whiskey for onr little town has aroused considerable interest in our community within the last ten days, and roo6titutes the topic of discourse at present. The representaiives of about one third of the property of the place will present A petition to the General Assembly asking that the viljage of Elliott, S C , be incorpo? rated wi.h all the privileges allowed towns and cities under the general statute law of the State. And the represen ta ti fes of the otber two-thirds of the property, and about twelve-thirteenths of the citizens residing or doing business within a radius of four miles of the village will, also, present a petition praying, that in case it is deemed wise by the General Assembly to incorporate our village, to insert a clause in such act of incorporation prohibiting the sale of any spiritous or malt liquors, or any intoxicating beverages, or any popskull or redeye or tanglelegs or stager juice or skeedauiso* ps or cork tiiteor pepper tea or persimmon brer or any thing what? soever that is ho?, whu-h iskept in barrels or jugs or bottles or demijohns, save molasses and vinegar and kerosene oil, for a term or twenty years. The anti prohibition party claims that the sale of whisky will induce trade, and with the license paid for selling whisky, we would soon have-a city with streets running all across it, and would have them all named and the houses thereon nu m tiered. And would have sidewalks paved with brick and flag? stones in front ot the store doors, and lamps at every corner to burn at night, and have a police"and gunrdhou-e. The prohibition party claim that wi thou whisky, the better class of citizens of the community would do business there, who would go elsewhere, if whisky was sold, ? rather than tie thrown with drunkajds and rowdies, and that the two or three hundred dollars paid to a little town, would he noth? ing to compare with the evil the whisky traffic would be tc a mot al, social and chris? tian community like ours. One of our young sports, who very often drives a big biack with a short tail, though more frequently a two forty trotter, has been accustomed since winter began, to making frequent southern tours, "Away down to the Laad of Flowers" as he would say, found himself ou a bitter cold night not long ago, io that lovely southland driving a baalam, which after the shades of night came on, be? came very impatient and plinked from the large evergreen-to which he was tied, K sprig ?8 a relic of that country, and deparad on his return trip northward, leaving his master to return at will and ?3 best he may. Our friend was seen passing through tbecity early the next morning and again that afternoon leading a small bay with a blaze face. Doubtless he would be glad of an opportun? ity of returning the bay colt every time he went south. As he did not get the oppor? tunity of returning the colt the last trip, it was surmised on the streets a few da}8 since ?.bat he likely brought some relic-a knife, ao umbrella or something which he will be returning soon. Notwithstanding ihe short crop and low price bf cotton, we expect to haveSanta Claus ned two or tb?ee marriages, in tow section for Xmas. Yours truly, CLOD HOPPEE. Entertainment at Msyesville. The Masonic Hall was well filled on last Thursday evening to witness the entertain? ment gotten up for the benefit of the High School. . The program which consisted of songs, music, recitations, charades, tableaux, and closed with a comic scene, wa?, well arranged and peif?-cilv executed. After an opening chorus by Prof. Lowry and his bard, a "Greeting Song" was sung by about [Wenty children, which was loudly applauded b/ the audience. To menlioa etch piece in detail would occupy too much of yo ?r Valuable space, espe? cially when each one perl?.rated their parts so well S -ffi''e it to sn:y, th*t the charade, "A .Slight Mistake," the dialog ??

They hope to dedicate their church during the month of January next The ladies of the town are getting up a Christmas Tree to aid in completing this church. Owing to the low price of cotton, trude is dull, and our merchants seem depressed. I notice the farmers are hauling off a good deal of oats, which indicates a determination to raise more stock food at home. Our High School is now in full blast, but not as full as it should be. We hu ve sixty five scholars, t>ut the old roll calls for over ninety. Parents are doing their children an injustice by keeping them away. The "free term" at its best, is short, and those children v?ho miss the first month or two, are neces? sarily behind those who come in on the first, or opening day, and when at ihe close of the term, the late scholars are not as advanced as ; the others, the parents put all the blame upon the teachers, instead of keeping it at home where it justly belongs. A number of ladies and gentlemen of this town have lately organizpd themselves into a society, adoptirg ' Polytechnic," HS its name. The object of the society is both literary and social. At each meeting a program, consist? ing of music, recitations, essays, and literature generally, is carried out. Tomorrow, Sunday evening, a meeting is to he held at the Baptist Church, for the pur? pose of endeavoring to organize a Young Men's Christian Association, and it is to be hoped that the effort will be a successs SCBIBA.
