ED?TOBI AI* NOTES. A Young Men's Cbristiao Associatl without a gymnasium cannot accompli a fourth of the work it should. A barroom presided over by a Sta official ts not prohibition. The Dem erais of this county demanded absolu prohibition. The death of Associate Justice Lam removes from a position of honor at trust se abb) judge, a true man, anc good Democrat. AU told, there are in the neighbc hood of 550 freeholders io this etty, b only 220 are freehold voters. Tl others are women and non-residents. It is surprising to note how few tm nave, their property la their o wo Dame In property, as in maay other atti botes, the women seem to possess t! better half. The Khedive of Egypt is said to twisting the tail of the British lion i going openly to prayers and the tbeatt ead courting popularity among I abjects generally. Hon. Richard I. Manning bas course of preparation an article on tl Australian election law that we sot publish for the enlightment of bo ourselves and many of our readers wi do not understand the system that h done so much to purify politics wherev it has been given a test. A majority of the Democratic vote of Sumter County declared in favor i absolute prohibition. In view of th eau any Democrat consistently sign petition 1er the establishment of a di pessary t Bishop Philip Brooks, of Massacht setts, a divine widely known sod love . 1er {bis high Christian character sn broad mind, died suddenly of heart fai ure, brought on by a fit of coughing on Monday. The decision of the U. S. Suprem Court ia the railroad tax cases s previously surmised, settles nothing bc the question of jurisdiction of the eoui io eases where the amount of taxe involved was less than $2000. Tb next ooo ve is looked for with interest. Several times recently we have bee! asked to reeces mend an agricultura paper that would best meet the wants c the farmers of this section, and in ead ?sase the Southern Cultivator has beet ?heartily commended, lt is undoubted ly the best paper of the kind in tb* South. The State debt of about six milliot dollars will be refunded at Al per cent and six months interest will be paid t< ibe syndicate placing the bonds, as f commission. This will amount k ?$135,000, and bas the merit of being <3ov. Tillman's pian. The possibility of the early granting io women of the right to vote, is, to us, cause for neither excessive joy not lamentation. Women are but human, and their mangement of the ballot will be neither better nor worse than that of the men. The Supreme Court bas decided that the new State bonds may be dated Jan? uary 1, 1893, so as to give the six months interest to the syndicate be? fore Joly 1st, the time the bonds were ordered issued by the Legislature. Chief Justice Mciver dissented from the opinion of the Associate Justices Tbe Constitution of a rcceut date s ay 8 that several leading ?politicians of Georgia ?ere ia At Un ta last week canvassing a movement to have a senatorial primary in ISOL This plao secures the election of a United States Senator by a direct vote of the people without necessitating a change in the Constitution. The first two of the line of steamers from Fort Royal to Europe have been secured and two more have been order? ed. Wheo the advantages of this place are utilized, and the i m mente water power of the State is harnessed to factory wheels, S<>uth Carolina will be tbe commercial sod manufacturing State of the South. To give Keast Butler's record pub? licity was to speak ill of the dead. And it seems that the present edi :or of the j Columbia Register regards it as a breach of editora! ethics to make a i few truthful remarks about ex-editor | Gantt and the course of the Register. j We humbly apologize to the Register for bespattering it with its own record. Tbe Uuion Bank of South Carolina ?nd London, for which a charter waa obtained from the last Legislature, ? promises todo for the farmers something j they have been demanding of the j government-give them cheap rooney and an abundance of it. Mr. A. ll. j Gunn, the promoter of the bank, ?tates that the bank will be able to lend f money at the average rate of five per cent. He also says that the bank will soon open ii* doors with a capital of not less than two million pounds-ten million dollars-and that more money < will he forthsoming if ueeded. If j these statements be true, it will be the something better than the sub treasury. The Associated CharU?ifi Society, of Cb ar les toe ia an institution about which, j ordinarily, little is heard, bat one which j dues good cootia nally. During the last j week it was the center of all measures , for the relief of the poor, and attention was directed to the magnitude of its benevolences. About a year ago there was some talk of organising a similar society io Sum ter, for that there is a need for it no one dispute?, bot after some talk the project was allowed to fall into a state of inanity and there it still rests. The work of the Charleston Society is ample ?vidence of [the utility of the organization, and it seems to ns an opportune time for the revival of the project url hit- city. Mr. E^O. Nichols, who was cut across the wrist by a negro whom he was arresting, and has never regained the nse of his hand is now in the Charleston Hospital. He was maimed for life while in the discbarge of his duty as policeman of the City of Sum? ter, and at the end of the mooth be is to be dropped from the force. It seems j to us that the City Council should ! retain Mr. Nichols en the force as a watchman, for he can perform this doty as efficiently as any man they could employ. While oo the force he was faithful, and sobe:, and polite to all with whom bis duty brought bim in contact. The frigid weather of the past week, following thc longest cold spell of weather thc South has experienced in many years, bas naturally caused much distress among the poor everywhere, and in the cities especially. In Charles? ton, Atlanta, Savannah, Augusta and elsewhere the most g?nerons charity bas been poured out spontaneously, and energetic measures have been taken to systematically relieve the destitute. -At ordinary times it seems to a casual observer that the great majority is callous to the suffering of the poor who are with us always, but occasions like the past week shows that all the worid is iodeed kin and that charity aaimates a goodly portion of it. The last issue of tbe Cotton Plant contained an article by Prof. G. Edwin Stokes io relation to the teaching of literature in the common schools, and of oar own literature of the South es? pecially, that meets with our entire ap I provai. It is dorios the school age that a taste for literature or trash is firmly fixed in the mind. In a majori? ty of cases a taste for literature must be shaped and cultivated, while the ap? petite for trash seems to be of spontan? eous growth, lt ia as mach the daty of a teacher to open the door of the treasare-bou3e of literature to her pupil, I as it is to teach the art of reading or ! the multiplication table. In most ! sebools of which we have knowledge, j little or no attention is paid to the fcr , mation of a literary taste in the pupils, and in still fewer do teachers pay any attention whatever to the writings of our own authors. Those of t! e past are disregarded, and th05e of the pres? ent are not recognized. Until the teachers realize their fail duty and j perform it, teaching not only to read, but what to read, the people of this section will not be a truly appreciative people of what is good and true in lit? erature. The Sheriff of Abbeville County, Mr. F.W.R Nance,one day last week under? took to seize two trains of the Port Royal and Western railroad for unpaid taxes, and he now Suds himself with a a pretty kettle of fi?h on his bands. The road ts io the hands of a receiver, under an order of court, and Judge Simonton bas issued, upon petition of | Joseph Gauahl, attorney for the road, j temporary injunction to prevent sheriff j Nance from further interference with ' the property of the road, and has summoned him to appear before the court on January 30th to show cause why he should not be attached and puni .-ned for contempt. If this kind of thing goes on the railroads, the courts, State, and county officials will be so mixed up that a general smash up of the whole affair will be necessary to extricate the several parties involved. It strikes us, however, that there should be some means of collecting the taxes due with? out so oiueh fuss and feathers. This read has paid no taxes for two years past, and it doe? seem, looking at the matter in a common sense way, that the State should have a right to seize and sell so mach of its property as should be needed to pay the taxes. WHAT WILL THEY DO WITH IT It is quite probable that Sumter will not have a liq >ur dispensary. The asser? tion is based upon the following extract from Section 8 of the law ? "At least ten days before the first day of ?be meeting at which the applications for the position of country dispenser ?re considered, the applicant shall file with the county board of con'rol, and H copy thereof willi tbe cterk of Court, in support of the application, such a petition as ls provided tor in section 7. signed by a ni-j ?r>ty of the freehold voters of the incorporated town or city iii which the permit is to be issued, and each perron aforesaid ph ?H ?igt? said petition by Iiis own true name and Signature, and state that each, before signing, li-ts read said petition and understands the contents and meaning there? of and is well and personally acquainted wt tit the applicant : lu this city there are ohly 2-0 free hold voter?, perhaps le*s, as there are a j few non resident? and several others j whoso righ' to the title of freehold j voter is d ?uhtfal. A fourth or fifth of this number aro negroes, many of whom wilt be incompetent to sign the petition, inasmuch as they* eau neither read nor write. We.wil >-ay then that. 17? is the j greatest number entitled to and competent to sign a would be-dispenser's petition, and it is our candid opinion that it will be di fitcult.if not impossible, to secure 88 signers to a petition for a j dispensary. ''Thin opinion is premised, [ in a great measure, upon the declara tica that the Good Templar? will use every tff >rt tu prevent the es'ablish- . ment of dispensaries. We honestly believe that they bave tbe power here to secure prohibition as far as a dispen? sary is concerned. A The Good Templars, the Prohib? tionists, and those who oppose the dispensary have an opportunity to give prohibition a practical test in Sumter. What will they do with it ? If prohibi? tion will prohibit, why not try it ? THE Y. M. C. A. GYMNASIUM. The Yoaag Meo*s Christian Asso? ciation, whioh was organised last July, has already made itself felt as a factor for good in this city! but the Associa? tion is not doing the full and complete work it should. The Sabbath afternoon prayer meetings are well attended, and the reading room is frequented, but not to the extent hoped for. There seems to be a failure to attract the very class of young men, which the Y. M. 0. A. in other places benefits the most. The Association now has attractions for. the young men religiously inclined, the ones taking pleasure in services of prayer and song. The reading room draws the reader, but for that large class of young men who care little or nothing about reading, and for those who are indifferent to religious affairs, there is not a single attraction. The reader will, in time, form religious opin? ions, becoming either a believer in or re? jector of the tenets of Christianity. The religiously minded may be with safety left to the church. Consequently neith? er class are 80 much in need of, nor as likely to be impressed by, the influence exerted by the Y. M. C. A., as those active young men of the business world, among whom the work of the organi? zation lies, and for whom it has done the moat, whether we consider the mat j ter from a material or religious poiot of view. These young men the organiza? tion has ever put forth the greatest ef? fort to attract, and then to influence in a religious way. Inasmuch as the ( local association bas as yet done very j little in the chosen sphere of the great organization of which it is a part, and has not been markedly successful is it not natural to conclude that to the neg lect of its proper field or rather the in? ability to enter upon this work may be attributed the partial failure of the As? sociation to achieve all that was boped for ? The gymnasium of the Y. M. C. A. is generally conceded to be its most, at? tractive feature to hundreds of its mem? bers ; and those who have observed tue work of the Association know that the gymnasium brings three members io to it where the prayer meeting and read? ing room bring two. With these facts in view every effort should ba made to further the move? ment to establish a" gymnasium. Healthy, strong men are the ones who lead in the country's progress, and nothing produces them more surely than well regulated systematic exercise One not familiar with the good work accomplished by the gymnasium in the cities have no realization of what can be done here and elsewhere. A mode? rately liberal subscription from each member of the Association and others interested in the welfare of the young men of the city will tit up the sort of gymnasium needed. To Float the Bonds Columbia, S. C., Jan 19 -Governor Tillman and State Treasuer Bares have practically entered into an agreement with the Baltimore Trust and Guarantee company, of Baltimore, to take $2, 000. 000 worth of the State 4 3 2 per cent bonds at par and probably all of the state debt. The contract has not been signed, but the outlook is that it will be ratified in a few days. The in? ducement offered is the amount of the semi-annual interest ou the stock. The bonds will not be issued until July 1, 1893,and as a consideration for the trust company it is to be allowed the interest on the bonds from January 1 to July 1. The original intention was to start the interest from the Int of July, but some commission had to be paid for handling the bonds at par. There had been some doubt as to whether the governor had the right to agree to pay the six months interest as a bonus, an \ accordingly a case was made up between the state and t e Baltimore syndicate to test the right to allow this interest and today the supreme court decided that it could be done. Action was brought in the shape of an injuootion to stop the governor from entering into the contract. Chief Justice Mciver dissented from the opinion. Mr. John Gary Evans appeared as counsel against the State The memo? randum of agreement as far as complet? ed provides that the Baltimore syndicate is to purchase two million dollar's of the bcr.?s aod stock bearing 4 12 per cent, interest, payable semi-annually ; the bonds and stocks to bear date of January 1 ,[1893,carrying interest there? from, to be purchased at par, flat, that is, that nothing additional shall be paid for any ioterest which may have accrued at the time of the delivery : the pur? chase money shall bc piyablc $ 100,000 upon the execution of the contract and the remain der before June 30, 1893 in such ?ums as may be convenient, the bonds and stock to bo delivered in such amount as may be called for upon the payment of the balance of 95 pr cent It is agreed that tho state shall deliver so much of the remainder of the honda and stocks as may be issued und fr the refunding act. WASHINGTON h&VTKR. WASHINGTON, Jan. 23, 1893. "The Carlisle tariff bill." How does that strike you as a popular tirio for thc democratic tariff bill which is io be passed by the Kitty-third Congress? Unless a num? ber of gentlemen who are tu positions to know are wrong in their calculations Senator Carlisle, whose resignation as Senator will take effect the fourth of next mouth, is the mau who will frame that bill. The great success of the j Walker tariff bill, framed by President j Pulks's Secretary of the Treasury, was, lt is said, what iuduced Mr. Cleveland : to follow tbe same plao aod entrust th framing of a tariff bill which is to b( strictly in accord with democratic ideas to his Sec. of the Treasury. It is no to be understood or inferred that (hi move is intended to deprive the Way "and Means Committee of the next Hods of any of its rights Thc idea i merely to put into the hands nf tba committee a complete tariff bill, lea vin; it? members to d-cide whether it shal be accepted as prepared or be amende' before being reported to the House Whatever one's opinion of this methot of preparing the tariff bill may be, i cannot be denied that John GT. Carlisle is'by experience and ability specially well qualified to frame the democrat i bill. He has for many years been leading tariff reformer, and his nam attached to the bill would of itself mat ! it popular with the rank and file of tb democratic party. Much curiosity is felt concerning tb answer that Secretary Foster will maki to' Representative Scott's resolution which has been adopted by the House calling for information as to the dela; io tbs erection of public buildings fo: which the money has been appropriate< by Congress. Mr Scott says he if satisfied that the delay has been causee by the lack of money in the Treasury and the facts are all apparently . witt bim ; but it is hardly probable that th* wily Secretary of the Treasury wil admit that. Representative Bynum's resolution which bas been adopted by the House calling on the Civil Service Commissiot to furnish a list of all the men rein stated in the classified service of the Government, nnder mle 10, since Marci 4 1889. together with the date of theil dismissal or resignation from the service the States they were from and the States charged with their appointment, th? date of their' reinstatement, and th? departments in which they were rein? stated Rule 10, referred to in thii resolution was gotten np by republican ostensibly to allow the reinstatement within one year of their dh>missal ot resignation of ex-soldiers, but if thc information called for by the resolutioc be truthfully given it will be seen thai it bas been terribly stretched, both af to time and persons. It would be much better to absolutely suspend the Civil Service law so far as it relates to appointments and removals, for the first year of every administration, as proposed by Representative DeAr mond's bill now in the hands of a House committee, than to evade it, as bas been done under this administra? tion ; besides, it would be much more manly and honorable. The favorable report to the House on the bill repealing all federal election laws contains some very strong lan? guage, but, as the report truthfully says, "these laws are a continued menace to the peace and welfare of the country," and nothing said against them can be too stroog The House will pass this bill, not with any expec? tation that it can get through the Senate at this session, but to empha? sise the position of the democratic party against these laws. The republicans of the Senate have apparently adopted a sort of go-as-you please pace. Two attempts have been made within the last week by means of caucuses, to get them together, but they were both failures. The most of them appear to wish to avoid doing anything, aside from some special bill io which they are interested, and to be able to interest a sufficient number of their colleagues in any one measure to get it endorsed by a caucus. Having given up the silver question entirely they will this week caucus on the ad? mission of new States. When the re? sults of the last election are considered the republicans are excusable for being slightly demoralized. Senator Wolcott has been having some fun at the expense of the Post? master General. Ile doesn't like the Columbus stamps, and Saturday he made a humorous speech in favor of his joint resolution directing thc Post? master General to stop the sale of them. and he raised a laugh by saying that he had a letter from a physician who said that if the sale of these stamps was stopped the stock on band might be utilized as chest protectors. He in? timated iu relation to Mr. Wanna maker's statement, that $1.500,000 profit would be realized from the sale of these stamps to collectors that this Government was too big to go into the chromo business, a business that might do for gome Central American State, that was a few thousand dollars "shy * Things are now going with a rush at the headquarters of the Inaugural committee, and so great bas been the demand for hotel accommodations that good quarters are getting scarce.
