?$t Mmb m* at? J^uilpi. WKDHBSSAY. JAN. ?l, 1S93. Thc Sumter Watchman was foanded ro 18V0 Md the 7V?e SottfArcm n ?866. Tko tiaichman and Soitthron new has the. combi??d eicenktioo ano in?aence o? beth of the o?d papers, and is mani? cally the best advertising mediara in Som ter. EDITORIAL NOTES Th? lecture of Dr. Tairoage in Columbia OD next Wednesday evening it a notable event., and anyone making the trip to Columbia will be fully repaid ky bearing him. Editor Gantt, of The Regisftr, has Wen selected as- the messenger to carry the electoral vote pf South Oaro Kw to Washington. This is a reward in part for "out-writing and out lying all other iara put together/* as Sen? ator Irby expressed it more truthfully As* elegantly. The Greenville Eitferprise and Mountaineer was issued laut week rn an entirely new dress- and with the name abbreviated to a reasonable length, the Enterprise being omitted. Col. Hoy* baa infused new life into the old paper, and it is now easily one of the foremost weekly papers in the State. Tb? Georgetown Times says that 4 the success or failure of the Tillman-Gante Kvans dispensary raw must be measured bj the am on Lt of profit.'7 Hence from a Tnimanite point of view the liquor han nothing to do with morality or question, like Senator Colouit's politics, religion. ? stranger io Som ter has a hard tune finding a given place of basic ess er residences without a guide, no matter how carnereros and lucid directions he bc may have received. It is time the bootes were numbered, especially as it nan be dons with little or no cost to the ?ty. Gov. Tillmss is egotistical and bora baefie. bot BO one has thought of sc? enting him of raking biwself ri dieo lotB. Yet be bas gone and done that very thing. His deeraratron that be will enforce the Evans Liquor Law at al) hasards, the Courts to the contrary notwithstanding, is ridiculous and noth? ing more. The Register says America 8boult? pot anarchists m tbe baiter. What should .be done with those who are indsstrioOBly preparing the body politic for the seeds of anarchism, com maoism, and destruction ? Several of the acts of tbe recent Legislature smack strongfy of paternalism, wbieb is next akin to communism. Tom Kiernan, the machinist who was discbargod from the Richmond ?ad Danville railroad shops in Colombia, on account of incendiary speeches, and was afterwards made one of the Trial Jus? tices of Colombia by Gov. Tillman, for political effect, is now ont sf a political ?ob, being defeated in the primaryr and AO mote political effect being needed at pr?tent, bas repented and gone back to honest tabor at bis trade. I Mrs. Lease, the Kansas virago who snade a mal-odoroes record for herself earing the past campaign,- as a Third Party -stomp speaker and Republican sympathiser, and was, by the way, rot ton-egged by tbe iedignant Georgians, j whom sba was attempting to lead into .bc Third Party, bas announced that she will not be a candidate for the j geoatofship from Kansas. i Comptroller General Kllerbe is after the banks, railroads and other corpora? tions, sad ificidetitailv arl tax dodgets. Iiis detora?narion io prevent tax dodg- j iog whee applied to all alike is praise worthy, bat does it suit bis purpose to j have lands asst s-ed at their fall value : as well as bank stock. In Sumter j Coonta laed U a va>t deal farther oft ! from paying fases at market value than ? the banks or railroad?. The Atlantic Coast Linc has failed to j secure tbe redaction in time f o.u New i Torh to Florida, hoped for when the MW schedule was put on the Wilson Short Cut, and is said to be 1 .?kin? for \ another connection to tike South, with ! a 'J a view of severing the relations here- j tofore existing b-jtween that road and tho Plant System. The plan most j spoken of is a concoction with the j gonth Hoand Road at Columbia. Hut : the titanate plan is said to be a?i \ extension of tho Manchester k ' Angosta K. R from Rimini to j ?Grahams on the South Bound, thus cutting off the distance around by Columbia. This being tho case, and \ what we bare heard from railroad men : feeds a? to credit it, rejoicing by Colum? bia is oat of order, a> she will be left ont worse than Charleston is by Ashley ; .Junction.

Kennedy, died al o'clock this morning, after a ioog a painful illness, that, despite the teo( care of a* devoted wife and childn made She summons to e?ter the life 1 yot*d the grave, io reality, a relief fr< pain and a cai 1 to rest and peace rc better and brighter world. He, bi S?lf, questioning the reality of that li declares that the portal of death, dc and looe **?3 ike Tes5->t>B-> ?-nd ?tey To realms of fadeless, crystal light,. Joys of in* {fable degree, And life perennial and bright." "According to the inspired word No human mind can estimate; Eye hat* teen, nor hath ear beard The glories of tbein-tore state."" .-and may he have already -ealized I truth of bis answer to the question. i He was the son of Francis L K< i nedy of this county, and was born ?pril, 1829, thus being at tbe time ; bis death, nearly 6? years of age. He attended ?he South Carolina C lege about 181&-4&, leaving howevi without graduation, but not before had beeotue a fioe classical echolar a ! acquired a literary taste that shap his after life. He married Miss Mary F?. Dick, a she and five children survived bim. He studied law and was admitted the bar, but never actively engaged ! his profess ion. j Being possessed of ample means ai leisure to cul ti rate his taste, he de vat BTvoeb ?u e to the study of literature and, being gifted with consid?r?t poetic talent, many poetas were t! product of bb leisure. The sr ambitious of his poetical attempts w; "Ichabod, or The Glory of the Sou Has Departed," a bitter rament or the condition in which the war at reconstruction period bad left the lat of bis nativity. It rs not entirely lament, however, for the last stan; seems prophetic of that better tia whick the Soutfe ? destined to enjij Ichabod doses thus ; "That deliverance drawetb nigh, 7bat hour of new-born liberty, When our dear Southland will arise Transformed, redeemed before our eyes ; Renewed in feature and rn form; Instinct wita life, with passiou warm ; Robed in the garb cfsecoud tuuth, Refulgent with the sheen of truth ; Fier eyes aglow, and ??ohing bright With resarrec:ion's golden light ; Io joyful transport, singing songs Of triumph over righted wrongs : Of gladness over dricd-up tears ; O'er reECued hopes and buried fe?rs ; Wben nil these wretches, bastard born, Will quail beneath their country's scorn : These creatures vile-and reprobate Wiii reap their garners full of hate, And tremble like the aspen's leaf, Or like the autumn's wind-swept sheaf B.-fore the concentrated wrath That wili (itscend athwart their path, Before the curses deep and loud Which will their guilty souls enshroud; * i * rf V ? They need not grief or sorrow feign, Hypocrisy will all be vain ; Upon the fixed, appointed day Their dread penalty rhey must pay j Their crimes will cot be forgiven. On the earth, and scarce in beaven." Irs 1854 he was appointed to- a post ?io? on the staff of Governor Adam6, with the rauk of Colonel ; and afc this time a p-^ition on the Governor's stall was an honor mach sought after, and not a mere esipty name, as it now ip, as the Governor,accompanied by his staff, w?s required to make the round of the State and inspect the militia. In 1869 or '70 Col. Kennedy moved from his place. Rose Hill, to- this city, and was soon after engaged to take con? trol of (he editorial department of the Sumter yews (the name was afterwards changed to The True Southron at hie instauce) and it was in this position that be rec de red bia iwost valuable public service. At that time the State was rn the bands of the carpet-baggers, and op positioB on the part of the uative white people h d almost ceased. Some of the most influential papers were eveu advo? cating a compromise with those who were ruthlessly plundering the State and oppressing her citizens. Mr Kennedy would countenance no such cowardly at-d disgraceful bargain, ile stood for the freedom of the pres?-. ?io open, uncompromising fight against misrule and thievery by the alien and negro horde in control of the State government He made this fi^ht almost single-handed, unaffected, alike ny offers of bnb?'S and threats, and the culmination of his fi^ht wan the Hamp? ton Campaign, f<?r hi.? idea was it) accord with the sentiment <.? the white peo|4e of the S ru1 c. Ile gave up his editorial position in J n'y l^I.S, wheo the movement for the redemption of the State was well advanced, and engaged iu mercantile business for several years, until his Jailing heal;li obliged him to give it up Fur the last four years he has boeu almost a belpie.-s invalid. At some future time it is our purpose to give au extended sketch of bis edito- ] ra! work aa the True Snuikroii, with i selections frots* hit- writings, as it is a j Component portion of the .story of the j most stirring pei io J of South CAI'olio a j history. j The funeral services will be held at ll o'clock to morrow morning at St 1 Lawrence Cunten.

Over a* thousand bafcs of cotton were burned on the depot platform at Anderson on last Thursday evening. About 4,000 bales were on tbe platform at the time, and it was only by hard work that all were pre? vented from being destroyed. Loss estima? ted at ?50,000 to 5100,000. Col. Jas. H. Morrow, the hoary headed old rascal, who was sentenced to six years in the penitentiary for having being instrumental in causing the death of Colie Fowler, is still in the Richland county jail, pending an ap? peal. j T?tere was a fire tn Darlington on Monday night.

There was a sraa ll sized negro rio* art the Fine Mile House, near Charleston, hrst Satur? day. Constable Joseph Trescott was killed and Const. William Cox severely wounded by Joe Fisher, colored, whom they were attempt? ing to arrest for assault and battery on the person of another negro. The riot grew out of a previous row among the hands at the Wando Phosphate mines. Thos. Nelson Page, the distinguished Virgiuia author lectured in Columbia last j week. Thc Secretary of State has issed a number of charters to various enterprises recently. A new Company has been organized and has bought the Florence Oil Mill, recently sold under Mortgage. More than 500,000 pounds of tobacco have been sold on the floor of the Florence ware? house during the past season. A Magnificent Opportunity. The Cosmopolitan Mapuzinc bay risen within the past three years from comparative ob? scurity to a position in public estimation, not second to that of any of the old monthlies This has been accomplished by merit and able management. The thereory ef the publishers of the Cosmopolitan seems to be that j the best of everything is none too good for its readers and the result proves the wisdom of this course. The January edition was t50,000 copies, and the publishers celebrate this achievment by the offer of 1000 scholarships in any of the leading universities of America. How these scholarships can be obtained bv energetic young men or women may be Teamed by writing to theCoxmopelitian, Madison Square, New York, N. Y. Rather risky the offer that's made by the pro? prietors of Dr. Sages Catarrh Remedy. Risky for them. For yon, if you havo Catarrh, it's a certainty. YouYe certain to be cure/I of it, or to? bo paid $500. That's what they offer, and ia good faith-they cure you, or pay you, no matter how bad your case, or of now long standing. But-ts it so much of a risk ? They hare & medicino that cures Catarrh, not for a rime, but for nil time. They've watched it for Tears, curing the most hopeless cases. They Know that in your case there's every chance cf suec *s, almost no che nco of failure. Wouldn't any one take such a risk with such a medicine ? Tho only question is-are yon willing to make the testT if tho makers are willing to take tho risk I If so, the rest fe easy. You pay your drug? gist fifty cents and the trial beghoa.
