WEDNESDAY, MAY 11,'92. The Sunder Watchman was founded ?b 1850 and the True Seuthron in 1866. The Watchman and SoiUhrcn now has the combined circulation and influence of both of the old papers, and is maoi &sdy: ths bstt advertising medium in Samter. fefeg as I ? EDITORIAL MOTES. The daily papers say that the Louisiana aHiaocemen bar? refused to enter the Demo cratic caucus, it is the geoeraMy expressed opinion that in Louisiana the Alliance will go law the Third Part;. W.hiie this country has been parched for Want > of rain during the past few weeks, the Weat b*a been deluged, and dangerous and destructive floods hare resulted. Thousands of acres of crops are destroyed and many live Vtock drowned. Jefferson M. Way, white, was tried and convicted of murder at the recent session ol the Orangebarg Court and was sentenced to be hanged 90 Juae 24*h- Judge Hudson bas refut?d a motion for a new trial, and an effort Is Bowbeiog tond? to bare the sentesce com muted to life imprisonment. We desire to call attention to ths fact that there will be a vacancy in the Citadel Acad eny to be filled by competitive examination this year. Also that Converse College offers 3 free scholarship to this county, also to be awarded by competitive examination. Tbese are opportunities of securing an education that the boys and girls of the county should toot fct slip. There are seven scholarship in the Peabody Normal College, Nash rille Tennessee, to be filled from this State this year. Tbi3 college Hands at the head of the list of Not mal Col leges and a scholarship in well worth working Tor, especially by those wbo desire to make leaching a profession. The greatest benefit is to ,be derived by those who take the A. M. course. Graduates of all reputable collegs are-admitted to this course. E*er since the campaign opened Tillman's organs- have every few days claimed that the Conservatives were, "completely routed." de cisively defeated," "finally overthrown," etc., and still the fight against Tillman's dictator ship goes on as vigorously as before. Now they- are disgusted because the Conservatives do sot accept the organistic view, and remain utterly tlefeated. tf Tillman went up and down the State two y eats ago uttering slanders against his prede cessors in office and the entire government? if this course branded him as not a fit person to Eli the Governor's office, is be not just as ineligible now as then, and is it not tb? duty of all good citizens to oppose him now, as it was then ? After be is nominated we support the party and not Tillman or any other indi vidual. A call for a Temperance Convention to be held in Columbia on the 26th instant has been signed by nearly a hundred men prominent ia the temperance movement, and will shortly he issued. Whether the convention will take political action or not is not known. If it does, another complication will bs added to an ?1 ready badly complicated case. Amidst it all bow can the candidates tell where to locate ? On the Ccala Demands, on the Tem perance platform, swinging to Tillman's coat tails, or standing for good government on the Conservative platform enunciated by the March Convention. Col. Joseph H. Earle has stated that be is ?tili opposed to Tillman, and is as much a Straight ou t as ever. This is the statement we -expected Col. Karle to make several weeks tago, when Tillman's Greenville organ and other paper* declared htm to be a convert to Tillmanium. When be did not contradict the -statement we were surprised and disappointed. We ace glad to see that he has not gone over to Tillman in the hope of reward by high office, as the Tillman organs insinuated. It is evident from all obtainable information that the cotton acreage has been reduced at least 20 per cent, and that about 35 per cent leas fertilizers have been used this year than in 2891. The daily papers are full of predic tions &at the price of cotton will go op two or Chwe cents before the next crop can be bar w?eied. U'e do not believe these predictions ?ad ??gard them as a pert of the frequently practiced scheme to induce farmers, by -means of reports of high prices to plant Jarge crops. We can see ae reason w by the price of cotton should advance, and do not think it-can with the iauaeose surplus still on baud. The T?J ani tes are to a hopeless minority in RieMand County, bat instigated by those in atrrhonfty they are endeavoiing to gain possesion of thecou n t w In secrecy and with out authorisation from the Executive Com mittee a few Tillmanites met at night in pr - T?te bouses acd organized what tbey claimed to be Democratic clubs. When delegates from tbese illegal clubs were refused seats in the coasFty ceoeeatiofia ?u$ority of the Tillman ite delegates Bolted fro? the eoavention and organized a separate bedy and elected dele gates to the State Convention. T&e repre sentatives of several Tillmanite clubs refused *o go with the bolters as they regarded the dx>It as wrong and unnecessary. TINDAL'S DEMOCRACY. We have received a request from Secretary of State, James E. Tindal to re-publish Ipoim the Columbia Rrguter a statement that be made concerning the assertion that be had affiliated with the Radicals previous to 1376. We do so readily. In fact, we did not wnit to be requested to publish this article, but had -already bad the article in type We 'believe tn giving every man a showing and te no oue would we more readily afford every opportu nity for self defense than to Mr. Tindal. As a candidate for office and as a public rnin, the political record of Mr. Tindal is a legitimate subject for close scrutiny, and when his record is scrutinized he should not surprised, or regard it as a purely p??rso?al attack. If Mr.Tindal had not entered public life and hecorcean office-holder wed candidat for t'iSce, hi < puir-ica! record would have been a matter ot sucfc saiall momee! that it weald oever have been ?seatioued. As htr as Mr. Tindal is concerned ^eraoaxlJy, we wo? id not CATe at au were he a 4t.td*cal of the deepest d vc, but w tn he aspires to a high office, ami wishes to obtniu it by Democratx; votes, tfcen bis record becomes of interest. U"e knew nothing of Mr. Tindal and made in quiries concerning him as we - do con ?terning every candidate for State of fices. A number of residents of Clarendon told us at d If-rent times, in substance, v*hat we published last week ? that he had affiliated with the Radicals and tiad not been regarded as a good Democrat previous to IS?6. Not wishing to condemn him on circulating imports we asked sercral reliable per?oas if che reports were true, with the result seated kst week. As before stated, the political record sad past afiliatjoos of a candidate are legitimate campaign ?ateria!, h*cee we bad aet the ??igitest fcesitauey ia publishing what we had learned o< a*r. Tin da?'s record. We would do th^same with any other candidate, no matter who he might be. There are a number of gentlemen who are teU/acquai~t.c? *-.U Mr. Tiudal'* political courge "?ho assert that he has not always been a reputable Democrat, and was not for a long time regarded as such. No one would think less of Mr. Tindal for havingjgiven a night's lodging to E. W. M Mackey if appealed to, but we were under the impression that Mackey would not bave gone to Mr. Tindal's house, unless invited, for Mackey was usually entertained by negroes, and it is said that he staid with negroes during his Clarendon trip with the exception of the time spent at Mr. Tindal's house. It is not for giving Mackey a night's lodging that we would condemn Mr Tindal, out for giving him "aid and com fort and entertaining him at his own home." If Mr. Tindal is guiltless of the tamt of Radicalism, except for giving lodging to Mackey when asked, no one would have bad the hardihood to impugn bis Democracy We would regard him as the equal of any Demo crat, and would be as ready to vote for him as for any man, but if he tavited Mackey to spend a night beneath his roof, then we regard him as beyond tbe pale of Democratic coun tenance. SNAPPING TUET: SS AND STBAIGHTO?TS. The Columbia Register compares the Straightoats to snapping turtles and says that { tbey never know when they are whipped, as the turtle never knows when it is dead. You may cat off a snapping turtle's head and throw it on the trash pile, says the Register, and re turn hours after and the head will snap at you So with the Straightouts, they have been whipped time and again and still tbey fight on as ;f they did not know they bad been de feated. Our friend seems to be real unhappy and inclined to be peevish over the perversity of the defeated but unconquered Straightouts. Without intending it tbe god-father of tbe Third Party of Georgia has paid the Straight outs a deservedly high compliment. It is this very inviacibieness of spirit that keeps the j Straightouts in hopes of a final victory for tbe principles that they represent and believe to be right. If we are fighting for principles, we have no right to give up the fight even though defeat seems inevitable in the preseot battle. It was this spirit of continual oppo sition, long kept up in the face of discourage ments and defeat that finally resulted in the j great and lasting victory of 1876. If there j had not been this invincible spirit that kept up the fight against Radicalism, misrule and corruption in spite of seemingly unsnr monntable di?iculties and against the advice of many who were for submission to the powers that were, this State would have re mained long ye*rs in the control of tbe black leg and thieving gang brought tiito power during the reconstruction period. It is related that during tbe Mexican War the Mexicans raised the same obj-'Ciion to the fighting of the American soldiers as the R?guler now raises to the fighting of the 8traigbtoats, namely^ that they never knew when tbey were whipped. They claimed that according to rules of military science tbe Amer icans were hopelessly defeated in almost every battle, but :. id not know it and kept right on fighting until they gained possession of the field. We trust the Register will never have less cause to be dissatisfied with us because we cannot discover when we are whipped. PABKS. Every new comer to Sumter 13 struck by th* absence of parks or eve j open squares for public recreation, and it is an accepted fact that au outsider as a disinterested observer, is quicker and better qualified to poiut out defects io a place than a resident. It was suggested to us a few days ago that it would be a good idea for the city to fit up as a little park the triangular piece of ground at the foot of Main .street, near the A.C. L. depot. During the Summer months the depot J is a favorite resort in the afternoons, and with J this place planted with shade trees and fitted j op with beaches, it would be & source of plea 1 sure to many people. There is a great need fora large park some I where in tbe suburbs of the city, and it is now time for some step to be taken to secure a park. As it now stands there is no pluce of public resort anywhere near the city, and such a resort is ueeded by every community. j Let us make an ; effort to secure what is needed. TINDAL'S STATEMENT. Secretary of State Tindal has made the fol lowing statement io tbe Columbia Register concerning tbe article contained in the last issue of this paper : "Tbe Watchman V7)d Southron has pubiishea a statement, without cause or justice, which reflects, or is intended to reflect, upon me. If it were ouly for tbe people of Clarendon I should not notice it, bat as it is copied by other papers, and it may be some time before I can appear publicly before tbe people of j Clarendon, it is due to my friends. 1 never throw mud, nor do 1 hke to notice every little evil thing thrown at me. "I have voted every Democratic ticket since I became of age. I was a member of every convention of white people held in my County : was sent to the taxpaj ers'eon vention and every other convention of white people during Radi cal rule ; was president of one of the best and first Democratic clubs in my County; was mas ter of one of tbe best Grauges of my County ; was elected lecturer of the State Grange, aud to the Legislature in 1880 and several terms subsequently: and nerer attended a Radical club or convention or had aay understanding or connection with Radical party in my life. This is all matier of such public kucw ledge a3 to need no comment, j "Just after the war, while our own peo ! nie still had control and we were considering j what was best to do, i opposed tiie the negro I code, and at a public meeting of our people at ! Mauning I said : j il 'Grant will be elected Pressaient as sure ! as he lives, just as Lee, if a candidate, would ! be President or theSouineru Confederacy if j it had established its ind?pendance. There fore the wisest thing for us to do is to give tbe negro qualified suffrage while we way, or universal ?uifrage wiil be forced upon us.' That speech made we very unpopular tor the time, becau?e the idea of allowing a negro S to vote at all w-is 80 distasteful at the time. But in a year Grant was elected and finally catue universal suffrage. I did not desert the i people: when they would not go with me, I weut with them. I also opposed the Greeley movement, but went along with it [ never fail ed to express my views, whether popular or unpopular, and believe still that my judgment was right. As to my nearest relatives dis- \ carding me on tbat account, it is preposterous. They regretted my speech because tbey thought j it unwise to express whut Soute of ihetu i believed as s rongly as I did. "As to giving a night's lodging to Mackey, j I did, and would do it agniu under the ! j circumstances, and would do so even to this enemy of mine, who would do me barm I without provocation. Our Comity tnen had j uh railroads or hotels, und I wns brought up and surrounded all my life with people who j : believid it to ?<e -t Christian duty to entertain ) j strangers, t<? y *e u?

These a.;e simple facts." The Sumter \\'<iici*m<in >/rnt ijuitlhruu says: 'If One is to berieie iir (i -envii.e (Orgau et?e, ) Coi J. H Barle has >er >me >i full-fledg ed Tittmanit??. Col.

FALSE ECONOMY. The Mayor anu Board of Alderman have seen fit to reduce the wages of members of the police force. There may be good reasons for this act, of which were are not informed, bat on the surface it appears to be ill-advised, and a species of false economy. ?t is expected that tbe members of the police force be brave and faithful guar dians of the public, and as such are worthy of sufficienfc remuneration. If it is the desire to have a cheap police force, there is no doabt bat that there can be found roen willing to take the situations at great deal less salaries than are now being paid, bot as we understand it this is not tbe end most desired. The first thing to be obtained is efficiency, and this can only be ob tained by paying them salaries equal to what they cao otherwise obtain. A reduction of $5 per month on the' salary of a policeman saves compara tively little to tbe city yet it is a serious loss to a man whose salary is already none too large to support him. It is a savin v that is so small that taxes will be in no wise reduced and we believe that a majority of tbe taxpayers would be opposed to tbe redaction of salaries of tbe police. ? i?i ~? <> i "Observer" makes several sugges tions that, if carried out, would greatly benefit tbe city. His article deserves j careful consideration by residents of Sumter who are interested in tbe pro gress and development of oar city. Stopping Sunday Trains. Columbia., May 5.?The Railroad Commis sioners have corse out in their pronuncia meuto in regard to the Sunday excursion. The law upon this subject was given in this correspondence today. The commissioners have taken a decidedly bold stand, and unless the railroads are willing to discontinue the cheap Sunday excursions of their own voli tion a novel lawsuit is liable to be instituted. The chief point at issue, is whether the cora ux ssioners can prohibit the sale of excursion tickets on any trains. The commissioners will not conic nd that they have a right to dis continue any regular trains. Should tbe excursions to Sullivan's Island and other re sorts be discontinued there will probably be a more numerously signed complaint than those by the ministers. The following is the com plaint from tbe Ministerial Union of Charles ton : To the Board of Railroad Commissioners of the State of South Carolina?Gentlemen : The Charleston Ministerial Uuion, composed of the white ministers of the city and com munity, and of which the Rev C. S. Vedder, 0. D., is president, at itsmeeting on Monday, April 4, 1892, unanimously adopted the foi* lowing resolution, which I have honor to for ward, viz : "Resolved, That the Charleston Ministerial Union respectfully requests tbe board of rail road commissioners of the State of South Carolina to limit all railroad excursions and cheap rates of travel to other days than tbe Sabbath." In order that you may understand the above request 1 was instructed to say that it bas been the custom of the raiiroads entering our city not only to run excursion trains on tbe Sabbath, but also to make the rates so ex ceedingly low as to place a premium on Sun day travel ; e. g , the round trip from Charles ton to Savaunah for one dollar. By reason of this temptation many persons are induced to spend the Sabbath in travel ing who might otherwise be persuaded to at tend the worship of God's house. FuUy awake to the fact that it is "right eousness that exilteth a nation ;:' that it is the Church that exalts righteousness, and that the above evil strikes a blow at the Church, the matter is called to your attention in the hope that the evil m iy be mitigated if not suppressed. I have the honor to be, your obedient servant, T P Burgess, Secretary. Charleston, S C, April 7, 1892. The railroad commissioners today issued the following circular, which gives their posi tion and action on the matter : Columbia, S. C, May 5, 1892 The board of railroad commissioners has had their attention called to excursion trains being run by some of tbe railroads iu tbe State on Sundays. This matter has been considered by the commission for some time past, but ttutil now no formal complaint has been made. They hereby notify all the railroads in the State that their construction of tbe law (see Sec tion 1,476 General Statutes) is, that it is not lawful to run such trains on Sundays, and the only passenger trains that can be run on such days are the regular mail trains, with no additional or special excursion rales. By order of the board. D. P. Duncan Chairman. M. T. Bartlett, Secretary. it will not be very long before the matter is brought to a test, provided the issue is pushed. ? A'eirx and Courier.' Coming Necessities. Ench day the population of the City of Sumter increases; strangers come in, new houses are erected, old ones torn down, new ditches are inatfe and various changes take place. Amid nit this it is possible that mis takes might be made that would mar the looks of the city ; for example a house might be erected just where, in a short time, it would be absolutely necessary to open a street, and which the city could purchase now aud open in tbe future. This should he attended to at once. It is also very evident that drain age is needed in various portions of the city to promote health. Ditches are needed where there are noue, and othersjdeepened aud kept clean. We need a Sanitarian to see to all this, and to see that every one's premises are kept clean, to point out and direct the ignorant and careless of the city how best to do this, and to warn them of the danger. Few peo- j pie know thai rotting wood is the home of the bacteria thut produces diseases, or thai impure water is tilled with countless invisible animalcules that poison the humau blood, diseases which often become ?pid?mies in every city there will be found a class of peo ple careless in this respect. Diseuse may originate with them in this way, they may be pour and neglect to call iu medical aid until too late, and even lose a member of the fam ily, without a doctor having seeu it, ot a con tagious disease. Why not hare a Sanlarian and a hospital where dangerous and contagious diseases can be treated. If nota hospital, why not the city appropriate a certain sum to be paid one of our deserving young doctors to look into such things, and attend such patients upon proper affidavits It may not b? as much as his f?e bill would allow him, but he could afford this occasionally. The Board of Health could authorize htm to examine every case in each ward as reported, and certainly the citizens would report all such to him, and have it examined by him. This would pre vent epidemics which go so far to injure every city. How do we know but that any d*y a case of small pox may come iu ou auy train, and the patient die and no doctor know it. (Jf course it may never happen, aud again i in spite of all we could do it may happen. But the chief thing to insure the prosperity ol a c*ity- is to insure ?3 far as pos sible its healthiness; and let ti e outside world tie impressed wiih the fact that every safe guard has beeri used to promote aud perpet uate health ?s t'-ir as possible. As the warm season approaches it would be well for the Board ol Health to appoint a competent man to go into every part of the j riiy and every part of each premises inspect ing everything and make h minute report as 1 to tlie feeaUh ot the people, drainage, water, ! tie; giving him authority to direct such j improvements as he Sees tft, aud each week : See if it h beeu carried out; ami if not re port it i?3 a nuisance. Old rotten, wort hie.-s ! buildings, should be condemned. This is done iu Northern cities, how ruuch more necessary in our warm and tno:st cliuiaie where disease germs form so quickly. I do not menu lo Say this city \i unhealthy, comparatively Speaking H is not, but "an ounce of precaution is worth a pound of turc.'' At any rate if the City Fathers m^ .c a move in this direction, it will arouse many a one to think seriously of his surroundings, etc., who in the rush cf business, and the struggle for bread and meat have forgotten health precautions in and around the habita tions where they and their household sleep, eat and drink. Observer. Cotton Report. Price, Reed k Adams' circular for the week ending May 6th, says : Comparative Quotations.?Today 7 22fr: 7.24; same day last week 7.09?7.10; same day last year 8.69?8.7i. la our report of 29th ult. we advised purchases, regardless of any temporary decline. August closed that day 7 3C([rl 37, and closes to-day 7.4607.17, and we cannot refrain from congratulating those of our friends iu the interior who followed our advice. While we may see reactions, we consider Cotton cheap at present prices. The principal feature of the week bas been the unanimity of the reports regarding a decrease ?f acreage. The last number of "Bradstreet's" gave the figures a3 estimated1 in the whole Cotton Belt, showing a redact-on of 20 to 25 per cent. For this State ''The News and Courier" estimates, from their correspondents in every county, a reduction of 20 to 2f5 per cent. The Alabama State Commissioner gives a decrease of 16f per cent., and the Georgia State Commissioner also anticipates an important reduction. The market did not respond to the publica tion of these various items as readily as might have btten expected, and it is evident that the general ftrbHc does not place any faith in them, having been deceived so often. We ourselves consider these esi fmatesesaggerated, bot we do rhink that a reo"?Ction of 15 per cent, may be counted ofr, aitrdsuch an acreage might easily give ira a crop of uot over 7,000, bales. The weather news is conflicting, but there is ? good deal of complaint of dry weather which may cause serious injury unless con ditions change soon. The strfke in England was reported settled this morning, but later cables reported a bites in- lire settlement. We think, however, that any auch bitch can only be temporary, and look for a speedy resumption of work This should eause an active demand in the Liverpool market, as spinners have now been taking very little cottou for six weeks, and stocks of manufactured goods are small. Spot Cotton has been in good demand, with sales for the week of some 2000 Bales. Quotations to-day are: Good Middling 7$c, but our large holders will not sell at these prices. Stock here unsold it still about 25,000 bales. Works of Art by Twelve Famous Artists. Sometimes a magazine varres i?3 p$an of makeup for a single number, in a way that makes that issue unique. The Cosmopolitan, published one number some months ago fill ed entirety with contributions from women. In the same way the May isjne of ?be Cosmo politan will be noteworthy on accoout of the change in the style of illustration. With hardly an reception, the numher is entirely onde up of original works of art and all by the best artists that could he found. There ba3 never been a number of any magazine that continued so high a clas of illustrations, and the aarae of Walter Crane, the English decorator, W. M. Chase, E. W. Kemble, F Remington, C. S. Reinhart, etc., are enough to distinguish the issue alone. MARKETS. Str*tcr, S. ?., May 11, 1892. Cotto*?Receipts for week ending May II, about 50 bales.
