Cbt (Maletea m? Souibreft, * ? ?5 A WEDNESDAY, DEC 21,1392. ; Th? Sunder Watchman was founded ia 18V0 and tbe True Southron 1866.

The Compliments of tbe season. Gov. T???man has vetoed the tax ex tension bill. This waa what was ex pected after he took the matter into bis bands and extended tbe time to Janu ary 1st. . The Watchman and Sonthron extends I ''S sin ce rest congratulations to all the newiy married, and its beet--wishes to teosa-who will be sobjecri fox-congratu -lation in the near future. ?..... James.G. Biabe is at deaths door, and bis family have ceased: tryicg to conceal bis .condition from the public. He bas BrigbtVo^sease and bis death is| but-a question ottime. 7 Tbe Senate still says "lead us .not into, temptation." It killed tbe bill repealing tbe an ti free pass law in short order, and this we take as evidence that it fears the seductive influence of Pass 3*0. ?: Tbe property left by Jay Gould has increased in value about $16,00?,000 mee bis death. People were-afraid to ?rrest in stocks which he controlled, for 30 one knew at what time it might seit his purpose to depreciate them in value. Tbe Southern Associated Press paid ! President-elect G rover Cleveland a visit j last week, and they did not talk politice . at all. The editors are about as well behaved set, when they try, as you can find. ? Gov. Ti liman is right in objecting to the custom of fixing one time for tbe pay ment of taxes and then annually extend ing tbe time. With Gov. Tillman we : say, let ns have a time a time fixed that j will suit both the State and the taxpay ers and then bave no more extensions. It would not have been a bad idea for tbe Reformers to. have incorporated in their Railroad bill a provision prohibit ing tbe issuing of free passes by. the r railroads, and attached that prerogative . to the other duties of tbe commission- J ere. There is no ose io leaviog this lone privilege to the railroads. Prohibition suffered more at tbe bands of its pretended Friends than from the opposition of its enemies. They landed tbe question safely in tbe haven towards which tbey seem to bave been steering it from the first of tbe e -session? in tbe Senatorial pigeon-bole. This does not kill it, however. It.is worthy of note that SumterV "Representatives in the Legislature all ? iave large families?they have tbirty i j??gbt children between them?and all successful business men. Hie Excel je lency, Governor Tillman may now talk about driftwood as much as be pleases without ruffling, in the least, tbe back feather's of tbe Sumter rooster. We are in receipt of a letter from the proprietor of a first class foundry . - mod machine shop, who wishes to locate ? ia this city. This is what we want in Sumter?more creative industries. Every enterprise that can be established here enhances tbe value of property and ! increases the wealth of the place, and o very eoccor age ment should be extend ed to them, i "Suit bas /been brought ag?iost~N> >r0ooxaJe8, editor of The State for crimi nal libel for tbe publication of the pro-, ceedrage of tbe recent court in Bar o - w*&, in which were stated facta detri mental to G. YV\ M WiHiame, Esq. It seems that Williams had in his poeses " sion money which he bad collected for a elient and failed to turn over, and Judge H odeon issued an order requir ing Williame to account for the money or go to jail. If this is libel we are ail ?n danger of a suit. Two Mormon missionaries are at work in Privateer township, this coun ty, and the adjacent toweship in Clar endon county. These are the kind of people that we do not need, and while we would not be understood as advising violence, we suggest that the good people of that section make it koowo, in no uncertain manner, to the Mor mon s that tbey are cot wanted and had better depart. They are more dauger ous to American institutions than the Chinese against whom such stringen - laws have been passed, and their doc trinee are just as pernicious. Tbe writer was informed severd days ago, when in Columbia, by several Reform Legislators, that R?v J. A. Sligh and Mr. H. R Thomas were certain of election as Railroad Com missioners, with an open raoe for the third place. This means that those mentioned are backed by the Gideou Band of the administration. This is somewhat peculiar in oue particular epecially, as we have it straight that the railroad officials are very desirous of the retention of Mr. Thomas What does it mean when the Administration and the railroads favor tbe same can didate, the one openly and the other covertly. We copy from the Freevian an official communication from the secre tary of Suinter L?dge I. O. G. explanatory of the action of tbe called meeting aud the reeolotione adoped by it. There seems to have been a differ ence of opinion or a misunderstanding between some of the Good Templars, in regard to this matter and we are glad to see that they hfevc straightened out the tangle and everything is serene again. The remaaks made by us last week fere bused upon information volunte cd by Good Templare io regolar stauding ib Sa ter Lodge, and we bad no idea that onr remarks would further com plicate matters, nor that anyone would imagine that we desired to reflect upon the motives of those who were instru mental in formulating tbe resolutions. The worst that could be said was that the resolutions were inconsiderate and to this we adhere. A NE W CITY HALL. Tbe Cry Council has decided to build a City Hall that will be an orna ment to tbe city to replace the building burned on the Oth instant. A bill bas been introduced in the Legislatore granting Coonoil the power to issue bonds for that purpose, and tbe matter js to. be pushed forward without delay. -v. This is the spirit we like to seel, and Council can rest assured of tbe support and co-operation of ?ll of ^Sumter's pro gressive citile os. Tbe destruction of tbc old bail is a blessing,, for it ; has been for years a menace to tbe business portion of tbe eity, and tbe insurance rates in the vicinity bave been bigb on that account. The new City Hall with stores on the fjrst floor; : and an opera bouse and offices -above; will pay the interest on tbe bonds necessary to erect it, and there is no reasonable objection to tbe eater prise. A MEEBY CHRISTMAS, .EVERY ONE. In wishing our readers a Merry Christmas, we do so in the fallest and truest sense of the term. It is our sincere wish ' that all of those, who, week by week, read in these columns the news collected for their information, and scan the paragraphs containing our thooc'.ts, on various questions, that seem worthy of presentation t? them for consideration?-our friends, many we hope; enemies, few we trust?may spend a happy holiday season. True meriment is the outward ex pression of that inner joy, which is. based upon present prosperity and con tentment, bright acticipations for tbe future, or, better still, for nothing can rot> one of that inestimable treasure, sweet re minise nee s of happy days in tbe past. The present moment is a crystal, for we see our deeds, and thoughts clearly through it. The future is silver, for ! the desire of obtaining it leads man ever on, and on, even from amid the most faappy surroundings. But the \ memories of happy days, true friends, and deeds around which no shadows of regret hover, are golden jewels. They J are ours, for all time. . Through the ! eternity of tbe unnumbered years and centuries of the soul's existence, each memories will be added delights to celes tial dwellers, and solaee to tbe damned 1 of tbe nether world ; for the mind can- < not con cerve a punishment so harsh as tbe obliteration from memory's tablet, the recollections of happy moments, while leading the miserable wretch to the tortured thoughts of evil deeds and misspent days. A.. Merry Christmas we wish you, every one; and may it ever remain in memory'a keeping a time that you de light to recall, and live over again, in fancy, at each recurring Christmas tide. A FIRS DEPARTMENT. Several years ago the Watchman and Soutitron. began the agitation for a Graded School System to replace tbe public school'that then existed. Quite a number took offense at the position of the paper and charged that it was unjust io tbe first place and in the second place that the agitation would result in no good. Bat the ?gitation found favor io the eyes of the pnblic-spirited and progressive citizens, and to day So m ter has a School sys tem that is second to noce in tbe State and that constan tly draws new people to the city. This paper received no benefit from the resulta of the agitation, not shared by the community at large. In the last issue we took occasion to speak of the inadequacy of the preseut fire department and the need of an or ganized system under the control of the city Council, and responsible to Council for the performance of duty. While many commend our position, there are some who have taken tbe posi tion assumed by those who were oppos ed to the school agitation. This we expected, and are in no wise oast down by it. Sumter needs a fire department, and in time will have it. In apeaking of the inadequacy of tbe pr?sent system no reflection was in tended to be oast upon the individual ef forts of the few who have voluntarily and without compensation worked while others looked on at every fire for years. Their eiorts lacked system aod the re sult has, at no time, been proportionate to the energy expended. We want system and management, and the city must obtain it. Gen Hampton's Retirement, Washington, December 17.?George C Tanner, a Confederate soldier ami political follower of Qen. Wade Hampton, wrote him and Urged him ?o reco?s:der hie tesolution re f?ujbit?>i io Mg*!? enter South Carolina poli tics.

Bas kell moved to amend by inserting his resolu tioQj previously offered providing for tbe ex tension of the debt for four years at tbe pres ent rate of interest The amendment was laid . on the table. An effort was made to limit tbe amount of commission to be paid for placing the new bonds, but it was defeated and tbe matter left entirely in the bands of the Governor aod State Treasurer. The bill to regulate the drawing and term of jurors to Su m ter County passed tbe second reading. WEDNESDAY, DtCESiBR? 14. The Senate discussed tbe County govern ment bill. Tbere was considerable opposition to it and its father, Senator J. G. Evans, had considerable trouble in preventing its defeat. It was made the special order after tbird reading bills, but tbere is no probability ot its passage. The bill dividing up the cot* ties into school districts four miles Square was killed.

Tbe taxea must therefore be paid before January ]. The Wilson Railroad hill was passed to the third reading. A hard light was made against the bill, but it was of no avail. Tbe leaders had but to call upon tbe Reformers to vote for any of it* provisions and they responded. The oill ia the most injust and unreasonable tbat has passed in this ? tat in a long 'ime. The bill to dispense with the publication of the itemized statement of disbursements and of tbe annual reports of the county treasurer, county commissioners and county school commissioners passed its second reading. SATCRDAY DEC. 18. The Senate refused to repeal the anti-free pass law by a vote of 24 to 9, Senate Abbott vot ing against ihe repeal.

St'MTZB, S, C., Nov. 1892, According to an Act of Legislature I hereby publish the H*t of taxable polls in the following School Districts, as banded me by the School Trustees.
