t\t Mnitbinan m? SoutkoiL WEDNESDAY, JUNE 29, '92. A CORBECTION. W? noderetand that a report is being in ?oatrictt?!y circulated that the three newspa pers o? this city?the Advance, Freeman and ^Watchman and Soulhrcn?ha ve entered into a 'combination and raided the pri?e for doing \be advertising for the City cf Summer. Such report is false, either ignorantly or willfully co Um part of its author. Tor a Dumber of years the city advertising ha? bem giren oat to the paper submiting the lowest bid, and for several year* past the Advance baa received the award, and the price that paper received for the work was of no interest to as whatever. The advertisements placed in this paper by the city, bave come to us without solicitation, ?ad bare been paid for wit h on: objection to oar prtee, and this will etili be our position in fatare as in the paet. We shall do what ever work the City Government brings to as mad charge what it is worth, neither more *aor lets than we charge other advertisers. IN BBGABD TO TEACHEBS. Attention Is directed to two com m unica lions ia relation to the recent election of leathers for the Graded Schools. It is unfor tunate that there should be dissatisfaction . Xritb the action of the Trastees, even where there teems to be just canse for it, bat when "Such complaint is raised on so immaterial groands as religious creed, it is doubly unfor tunate. Teachers are supposed to be elected on ac count of their qualifications, on account of '* / their ability to impart knowledge, and not -on- account of their denominational bias. If teachers are te be chosen on acconnt of the \ - religions belief to which tbey adhere, so pro ' portioning them as to please the Tarions pat X coos ef the school 3, it won Id be necessary to " tore one teacher of each of the following de nominations: Methodist, Baptist. Presbyteri an, bntberan, Episcopalian, Catholic, and one Hebrew, and one of no denomination, for there are oodoobtedry patrons of the school cot members of any religious sect. How all this talk abont denomination in ?connection with the election of teachers is Trrong, it is bigotry; and if kept up, will sorely iujure the school system, if it does not totally destroy it. What we want is teachers?the best teachers that can be ob. tained?and when they bare been obtained -sod bare been found efficent, let them be kept until there is good cause for dismissal, Or en til better teachers cao be obtained for the positions. THE SXTMTEB INSTITUTE. - By reference to our advertising columns it wi? be seen that Mrs. Laura A. Browne bas retired from the Sumter institute, and that Jfaj. H. Frank Wilson bas become associated with Miss B. B. Cooper as co-principals, of the same, Maj. Wilson assuming the direction. We cannot consent merely to announce tie faet of Mr. Browne's retirement. The occasiou demands something more. The devotioa ?f a quarter ef a century io ine work of npbailding an institution of .earning, of '?__ which not only this community bat patrons " ? a?# friends far and near are justly proud ; the fact thai she has impressed on hundreds of her pupils tbe same principles of parity, virtue, courage, and self-control, that she illustrates ?o ber own life ; the further fact that she has - inspir?e ber pupils with high ideals, of life and bound them to herself by the ties of a warm af fection that happily combined the tenderness of toe ma terna! with the high respect voluntarily 'paid to ?mentor and a guide ;?all this makes ; ft a doty and a pleasure to say of M re. Browoe i that the community, aod *e many nfumnae aad matriouUnttef tkeSemter institele, bear efher retirement with eery sincere regret and -with a distinct sense of loss. But while they -do so, they recognize that the rest ebe seeks has bean well won, aod that to ber feeiooge the tribale of a grateful community and -eonstitoeucy?1 *Well done 1 good and faithful errant." The beet wishes of all ber friends -accompaaiy fcer aeresoecer she may make ber .?jo roe. ?. - X It gires uj equal pleasure te etate that Mrs. Browoe hsjf left the fatare of the institute io -capable hands. Miss Cooper has been asso ciated with Mrs. Browne from the inception of the enterprise, we believe; and e-be still re iains ber connection with it. It will be no ?oew faos at the door that will greet the in ?omiwg girls at the opening of the session in September?Miss Eliza's well-known features will welcome them I We do not know of any . one more fit to be associated in each a werk than Maj. H. Frank Wilson. Bis untiring la terest ?ducation, bis practical knowledge of and experience in the teaching art, bis wide range of information, his liberal cul tare, the parity of bis private life and char acter, together famish a sufficient guarantee that the Institute will suffer no loss or dam age io bis bauds, but will receive a fresh . impulse in its career of usefulness and excel lence. Nor vi ill it we trust be esteemed amiss } if we soggest that in the person of a gentle ' little lady to whose province it will doubtless j belong to hold up before the girls an trample ; of exalted womanhood, M?j Wilson will have help-meet whose eery presence is a benedic- ; tion And an inspiration. ? it was to accept this porition that Major j Wilson withdrew from the Bo*rd of Graded ? School Commissioners, to which he had been j elected with flattering unanimity.- ? THE DEMOCRATIC NOMINEES. ? - Grorer Cleveland was r.ondnatrd on the j first ballot, ag we anticipated, last week, and the aominfttion immediately made unanimous, despite threats previously made by the New York and South Carolina delegates that they would prevent a unanimous vote. We have every reason to be gratified over the selection of our democratic Ex-President j to again make the fight before the people of ? the whole country for democratic principles and honest government. He has twice re ceived a majority of all the vo'es cast, and was twice the choice of the people for President, though once he (ailed of election by the work ing of the electoral college, in private life <his man ha* so conducted himself ns to tnore 4h*n retain his popularity, and to obtain un ponghi the honor ihat has heeu a tbird time given him. Cleveland's popularity is not due to any ?ecu?ar personal quality which he possess*-?, twrt to tfce principles be represents. By the stand he ba3 taken on public questions, by tus speeches from platforms in various portions of the land and by the letters he h?3 written, fie bae made himself the true exponent of Democracy. He i? the leading advocate cf tariff rpform, he is the roost earnest believer ?n ei vil service reform, and in practice as well as word he to as exemplified bis assertion that 'public ?office Is a public trast. He is a true friend oftheSouth,anddur?Dghis term of office gare ample and substantial demonstrations of his friendship. Two of his cabinet, Lamar and (Garland, were drawn from the South, and whan a gaeancy occurred, he placed ??amaron ih* fcenefc of the Supreme Court. By the election of Cler^laod iheSoeth and -fie whole country has nothing to lose and etrnthh ? to gain, whi?e the eh-ction of Har neen means increased taxation to pay the ?tensi?n steal and to eu nub the mouopo.ist beneficiaries of the protective tariff, the enact ment of the force bill, by which the manage ment of elections will be taken out of our hands and placed in the hands of a hireling soldiery of the North. The nominee for the Vice-Presidency, Gen. Stevenson, was First-Assistant Post Master General under Cleveland and gaTe complete satisfaction by bis able and systematic admin istration of the duties of the office. He is an able man and popular in the west and will be a source of strength to the ticket. 1j Tbe ticket, Cleveland and Stevenson is a strong one and we trust will win in spite of 1 tbe combined efforts of the protection monop- y olisti and the boodlers of tbe North, who, io 1888 bouc'it the office for Harrison. ======== THAT ALLIANCE CAUCUS, Mr. J. E. DuPre has written a letter. It ^ will be found in another column. The pur- j j poee of this letter is evident to tbe most cas ual observer. Mr. DuPre is a Tillmanite and \ an office holder, by the grace of a Tillman Legislature, composed of "rotten political t driftwood," as tbe father of Tillman ism has ] himself, declared, and this letter was not written so mnch to controvert what he deem- 1 ed an animadversion against "our noble ( order," and its noble President, J. Wra. \ Stokes, as to keep hie ows name before the { public < Tbe published principles of the Alliance de- f clare it to be a non-political, agricultural or der, whose purpose is, tbe social, in teclee tu al, ( moral, and financial improvement of its i members. This declaration is all that out- t aiders are supposed to know about the A Hi ance, but very often people 6nd out things that tbey are supposed not to know. By 1 observation, we know that tbe practice of C the Alliance do not always accord with its t "pablisbed principles." We know that in C this State and Georgia and other States as well, tbe Alliance has been converted into a | \ political machine, and has been, and is being, used to further the ambition of certain lead- ^ ers of tbe order. ' If politics is not thought of in connection 2 with the order, it is most remarkably strange 1 that such a number of political resolutions are given to the public under the official seal * of various sob-alliances. * If the Stokes caucus was an Alliance eau- t cos, it is jnst a little peculiar, to say the least, that the test for admission was not tbe posses sion of tbe Alliance pass-word,but that known c affiliation with tbe Tillmanites was the neces- ^ sary qualification for admission. It is true * that the form of receiving the grip and pass- * word was gone through witb, and then those ^ who were not AHiancemen, but were Tillman ite leaders and were wanted io tbe cancos were invited in. The assertion that the caucus proceeding the May Convention was an Alliance cancos pure and'simple, isas thin as the assertion that politics is not considered by the Alliance, and will find as few persons who will believe it. If neither Dr. Stokes nor anyone else had tbe right to pick and chose who should be admitted into this caucus, how was it that those non-Alliance Tillmanites were sought out and carried into tbe caucus? surety some one picked and chose them. We bad it on good authority that Col. J. Harvey Wilson did not go into the Stokes caucoe, and the reason for his not going into it was that be was net invited and was not wanted, being an anti-Tillmanite We have given more space to Mr. DuPre than we intended ; for a matter of so little moment does not merit more than a passing notice. 1 < A Card From School Commissioner Green. Scuter, S. C, June 29, 1892 Mr. Editor; During the recent session of tbe Countv Teachers' Institute a paper in the nature of a petition, signed by twenty-six of tbe white teachers of tbe county, indorsing my services as School Commissioner and urg- I ing ?e to stand for re-election in tbe ap- ( preaching campaign?was handed me. \ An indorsement of his administration is . always pipasi.-,g to tbe incumbent of a public ] office, from any source it may come ; but it is especially pleasing when that indorsement comes from those with whom bis official rela tions have been of tbe most intimate kind. In reapoBse to such an indorsement, I could do nothing more than to conseat to stand for . re-election were I to consult a natural incli nation. I For four years tbe citizens of the county \ have honored me with this important office. ? Whether or not during that time the facilities j of public education in tbe county bave been increased, ts a question for those whose ser- ' vant I have been. I bave a consciousness that I have tried to do my whole duty in the j conflicting official duties that have surrounded / me. My relations with both teachers and trustees bave ever been of tbe most pleasant nature, and I take this opportunity to thank Ihem for their hearty co-operation witb me in ( mj officinl work. However, two reasons forbid me from re sponding to the wishes of my friends. ' In the first piace tbe law will not recog nize the employment of a clerk to attend to ( the office work, while the Commissioner is ? absent m tbe country Attending to duties o? ] more importance to tbe cause of education. J Indeed the great " work of the office iato the < country. And yet the masses, knowing noth ing of the duties of the office, expect to find the Commissioner io bis office every hour of j tbe day. j In the second place to fulfill every duty of I the office rtquires one's whole time, it for bids any supplementary work and jet the sal ary paid is entirely inadequate to tbe work required. Did i think that the cause of education re quired my services, I would not hesitate to make the sacrifice. Knowing, however, that ! such is not the case, I can only thank my friends for their kind indorsement of my ad ministration of the office of County School Commissioner tor the pese four years, and de cline to stand for re-election. Hoping that a more worthy and competent officer may be chosen at the approaching elee- j tion; thanking my feilow citizens for the i honor thej have conferred upen me in the I past, and standing ready at all times to do all I in my power, in a private capacity, to aid in ! perfecting o?r noble system of public schools, I 1 am very respectfully, John T. Green. Candidates' Cards. Solicitor Jno. S. Wilson 13 endorsed for reflection by the members of the Sumter . The greatest praise that a public officer can receive is to ha?e it said that he has done his duty. This can be said of Solicitor Wilson. Col. F. M. Mellett has been induced by bis numerous friends to present hirrj^lfas a Can didas for County Commissioner. Col. .Mel lett has filled this office ta tbe past iu a satisfactory manner, and will perform tbe the duties of ?he effj ? uot less capably if elected. M*j. B. F.

Maj. ?urrows has given careful nt'Mition to ;he duties of the office during the past two rears and if re-elected will be better quaifiiea ty give satisfaction than ever, being now thoroughly familiar with tbe office and} its duties. j Mr. B.

Tifi lili iMfilt 1CTIYE CAMPAIGN WORK OUT LINED. Hie County Executive Committee of the JProiiibitionists Urged to A rail ThemselTes of Erery Opportunity. The movement to secure at the lands of the next General Assembly, State prohibition of the liquor traffic, ?rhich was inaugurated by the con tention which met in this city in May last, has assumed definite shape, ind such proportions as promised to nake it an interesting factor in the Democratic primary in August. It will be remembered that thecori rention emphatically declined to lominate a State ticket, or to make iny issue which might place the ad lerents of the movement in an atti ude which would be antagonistic to ,he Democratic party in this State, [t adopted an address and platform ivhich declared their purpose as Democrats to seek the solution of the juestion of prohibition within the jarty, if permitted to do so. The )urpose is expressed in simple and iirect terms in the following passage rom the address : 'We call upon all lovers of right k)us government in the State to use ivery effort for the prohibition of this raffio in this State. 'We recommend that the people Jemand that all candidates for the louse and Senate place themselves ? >n record on this question to the end hat the prohibition votes o? the country may be intelligently cast.' And also to the same effect in the )latform, as follows : 'We therefore earnestly favor and j rill work for the enactment of such aws as will prohibit the manufacture ind sale of intoxicating liquors for ise as a beverage in ourState. 'We cordially invite the co-opera ion of all Democrats in this laudable ?fiort for State prohibition, irrespec ive of the opinion on other issues as Llreadv made up in the State.' The convention appointed members >f the State Executive Committee, vho would also be chairman ofUieir re cettive county committees, ?rom coun ,ies represented in the convention, vith authority to select members for ;uch counties as were not represented. The committee elected the Hon. L. D. Childs of Richland Chairman. Executive committees have now >eeu organized in nearly every cou - , and the few remaining counties be completed within a few days. In several counties active work has bllowed immediately upon the orga lization of the committees and in the counties of Barnwcll, Florence, New jerry, Sumter and York, conventions lave been called to meet during the msumg month, with indications that hey will be well attended. In a number of counties public neetmgs will soon be held for the purpose of reaching the people and mpressing the prohibition idea upon hem. Many of the county papers lia ve reely accorded the use of their col umns to the prohibitionists, and ar rangements are being effected in each county to keep the papers supplied with items pertinent to the move ment. Chairman L. D. Childs has ad Iressed a circular letter to the sever al county chairmen embodying the general purpose contemplated by the convention, with suggestions as to ihe several methods by which this purpose is to be effected. The circu ar in the maio is as follows : THB PROHIBITION COUNTY EXECU TIVE COMMITTEES. The short time intervening before he occurrence of the first Democrat ic primary election (August 30) which arili determine the result of the movc nent for Prohibition, set on foot by .be recent convention, imposes upon he friends of the movement an ur gent demand for immediate, persis ;ent and energetic work if our hopes "or State Prohibition are to be rea ized. Upon the State and County Executive Committees, organized un ler authority of the convention, rests he responsibility for the direction of he movement in the several counties 3y which the plan of convention, as outlined in its address and platform, is to be carried into effect. In my udgment it will not be wise or pru Jeot for the State Executive Commit :ce to attempt to formulate a plan to be carried carried out in detail in each of the with any fair promise of success. The conditions in eacli county are vary ing, and the methods adopted should be flexible, lead ily adapted to meet :bese conditions as they may exist or irise during the progress of the earn paign. It is evident that the county committees, carefully selected as they iiave been, and composed of men familiar with all the peculiarities of circumstances existing in their coun ties, are better prepared to avail themselves of favorable opportunities Lo give effect to the movement in their respective counties than the State Committee could be. In view ol this state of facts, there fore, I have thought it best, at this stage of our movement, to present to your committee a few general sugges tions, the observance of which will tend to preserve the unity of the movement throughout the State, and prevent any jarring or misconception among ourselves, or misunderstand ing or conflict with the Democratic part}-, within whose ranks wo pio pose to move loyally, recognized as Democrats, working as Democrats, ind true Democrats abiding by the issue upon the question of prohibition which we have invoked, so far as it shall be determined by the vote of Democrats at the approaching elec tion. e aim of each county com niittcc should be primarily to rein force the existing public sentiment of the county in favor of State Prohibi tion by every justifiable method. Among these you will avail your selves of the county press to appeal to the people, address 5hem at punlic meetings, conventions, etc., especially securing when possible a Hearing at the Democratic campaign meetings and other gatherings throughout the county. Sonnons by tho clergy of the diff?rent denominations, enforcing the duty of Christians to aid in every ? effort to suppress the liquor trafile, j are potent agencies by which to in crease the prohibition work. Work assidinudy to bring out the I Prohibition vote in its full strength at Ihe primary election in August und see that it is deposited m the box j which the Vvm?wmii kxceujdve ?TOnV mit tee will provide to receive it at each precinct, and also see that it is properly counted and tabulated in the returns made by the managers. Xote here the important fact that this pro vision for taking the Prohibition vote at the Democratic primary, made by the State Executive Committee at the request of the Prohibition con vention, is a full recognition of the po sition that our movement is one legi timately to be made within the Dem ocratic party and of the rieht of every Democrat to give expression of Ins views io this form without let or hin drance. * * * * * Appoint one of your own number, or some other competent man, to keep che space accorded you in your county papers well supplied every week with items, communications, reports of meetings, and other matter calculated to educate and strengthen the public sentiment on this move ment and to correct errors and mis representations which may be put torward by the opposition. Your com mittee will have to exercise a very cautious supervision over this depart ment lest by some injudicious publi cation our movement should be com mitted to a ialse or untenable posi tion before the public and thereby much harm result. The objective point in all our work is to secure an undoubted majority in each branch of the next General As sembly pledged to vote for some pro per measure for State prohibition. In pursuance of this object, let it be your first duty to ascertain, as soon as a candidate is announced, whether or not he is in iavor of our movement, and secure from him this assurance in writing if possible, or by some un equivocal public utterance. If he declines, or fails to take this position, let him understand that we are seek ing to enlist the co-operation of | good Democrats in this fight, and that to be outspoken and pronounced on this subject, irrespective of their views on other questions which may be raised within the party, will se cure the vote of the Prohibitionists. Seek to induce some good Prohibi tion Democrats, the best you can find, to run for the House or Senate, if none of those already announced are with us in the fight for prohibi tion. Each county has been requested by the executive committee to raise at least $50 to meet the necessary ex penses of conducting the work in the State, and each county committee J will endeavor to raise such sum at the earliest possible moment, for warding the amounts raised to S.
