WEDNESDAY, MAY 31, 1893,
The Sumter Watchman was founded
in 18*50 and the True Southron n 1866.
The Watchman and Southron new ha?
che combined circulation and influence
of both of the old papers, and is mani
estly the best advertising mediata in
Sumter.
EDI?0BIAL NOTES.
Senator Butler says be is in hopes the _ next
Congress will impose s.o income tax. So are
we:
Attorney General Townsend bas decided
that uu'.ess a young man is twenty-one years
old before the beginning of the fiscai year,
November 1st, he is not liable to pa j poll tax
for the ensuing fiscal year. He has also
decided that the widow of a Confederate
soldier who has re-married, is not entitled to
a pennon from the State eren though ber
second husband be dead.
J? fkrsoo Davis' remains hare been removed
from New Orleans to their final resting place
in Richmond, Ya. The solemn pagent and
the loving reception the remains ct the con?
federate chieftain receivtd at every stopping
place, shows that the people of the South
hold dear the heroes and the principles of the
Lost Cau?e. It would seem that principles so
teaaceously clung to will yet win the victory,
even though it be a peaceful one.
At every fire since the water works hare
been completed the water bas been uselessly
wasted. It is a matter of little importance
when the fire, a insignificant and only one,
occurs daring the night, but it may happen
at any time that one fire will follow another,
after tbe water in the stand pipe has been ex?
hausted. There is reason in all things and
there is no use in turning on a flood when a
few buckets of water ia tbe right place will
eei Te the purpose.
The report is going tbe rounds rounds that
as agreement has be*-n reached concerning the
South Carolina Federal patronage, and that it
will be divided out between Tillmanites and
Conservatives as followers : J. P. Hunter
(Reformer), of Lancaster, for Marshal;
W. Perry Murphy (Conservative,) of Col
letoo County, for District Attorney, B.
F. Perry (Reformer), of Greenville for Col?
lector of Internal Revenuej George D. Bryan
(Conservative) of Charleston, for Collector of
ri the Port at Charleston.
Rev. E. 0. Watson, Grand Chief Templar
I. O.G. T., who is known throughout this
county as a zealous and fearless servant of
God, -delivered a lecture on the Dispensary
Law in Florence last Wednesday evening.
He riddled the law with facts and argument.
Be said that the law tended to effect what the
devil bas been trying to do for years-make
the liquor traffic respectable, yet retain all the
evil influences and obtain all the evil results.
He said the devH would be delighted ; and
that the dispensary would prove to be the
same old whiskey devil dressed up in the
State's uniform with big brass buttons and a
sword, instead of being ornamented with
horns and a tail. He also said that a promi?
nent Tillmaoite, who attended the recent
conference at the Governor's Mansion, told
him that the purpose of the conference was to
discuss the dispensary law, and that it was
agreed to call an extra session of the Legis?
lature and pas3 aa amendment to the act,
repealing the section leaving the establish*
ment of dispensaries in the bands of the free?
hold voters of the various cities and towns,
should they refuse to petition for the establish?
ment of dispensaries, and piacs this power in
the bands of the Governor. Mr. Watson is
sow being assailed with abuse and vit upi ra?
tion by Tillman's henchmen but it is nothing
more than is to be expected, for such has been
the treatment of every man who bas had the
courage to expose the hypocricy of any of the
acts of tbe gang of time-servers now using
the machinery of State to further their own
interests.
A DISPENS A 3 Y ASSUBBD
Sumter will have a dispensary, and while
we still oppose the whole scheme as a bum
bag, conceived ia duplicity and to be carried
oat as a money-making scheme, we accept
the inevitable. It is now merely a question
of mea, and it behooves the people of Sumter
to select the best man for the place.
.Mr. W. H. Epperson who announced him?
self a candidate only a few days since bas
already secured the signatures of a majority
of .the freeholders ; and we are told that Mr.
Peter Thomas also claims to have a majority.
Under such circumstances continued opposi?
tion is useless.
EXCHANGE GLEANINGS.
Laurens Advertiser : Those who were
in Columbia last week had an oppor?
tunity of observing the governor en?
gaged in what appears of late to be his
ebssen profession, taking charge of a
dispensary or liquor business.
Orangeburg Times and Democrat :
If every leader on the other side would
exhibit as mach common sense as Con?
gressman B awley, the two wings of
the Democratic party in South Carolina
would soon come together.
Piedmont Headlight : lt is said that
the antis are grooming ex President
Chamberlain as their candidate for
gt vernor in 1891. With that rape-en
dorsiog platform, OD which he could
stand, it would be a very suitable com?
bination, and as strong a one as they
can well make. [Larry Gantt bolds his
own as the champion. Who believes a
word of the above ]
Netcberry Observer : Tbe "Cooserva
tive'' democracy is the true democracy
of the State, They are removed from
the ^Straightouts-" on the one ha^ j md
from th? "Ocalaites" on the other.
They are true to the State democracy by
having voted always with it, although
not agreeing with if ; and true to thc
Rational democracy Ly having both
voted and agreed with it.
Prosperity Reporter : The anti
element, which i.s responsible for the
club barrooms in this State and potted a
majority against Prohibition in th* few j
counties that it controlled, i? fighting the
dispensary law. The dispensary law
knocks out the club barroom?, and that
is where the shoe pioohes. [Ob ! truth,
how art thou perverted Sumter i* j
controlled by the conservatives and she
gare a majority in favor of prohibition.] j
Union I1!mes: Nothing has been
raore apparent to us, in the political
schedule of this State, than the exist?
ence in Columbia of one of the most
heartless and arbitrary rings that ever
ruthlessly deceived and controlled an
honest and confiding people. The evi?
dences that such a ring does exist have
cropped out conspicuously whenever any
prominent member of the so-called Re?
form party dare to act contrary to or
independent of the dictates of Tillman
and Irby and the fourteen lesser lights
who are begging so piteously to the
dear people for fund for ?heir organ.
Neicherry Herald and News: Th
Sumter Watchman and Southron, \
view of the decision of the Suprem
Court that town property is to be as
sessed for taxation, wants to know, oo
less specially mentioned as exempt, i
county propertj ought not to be assesse
i for State taxation. Certainly, it woul
seem BO, if in the town it ought to b
taxed for town purposes,. Why nol
when it is not specifically exempt by th
words of the Statute.
Neicherry Observer : We don't prc
pose to stultify ourself any more b
taking the trouble to tote in an eleotio
that bas already been practically de
eided and tbat is wrongfnlly called
..Democratic Primary." We are ni
anxious to vote anyway. Any sort <
officers will suit os. We have no favor
to ask of any of tbem, and we care ver
little who gets tbe offices. Oar posi
lion is tb fe s Having been trae to tb
Democratic party at alt times, and bein
a white man, we don't propose longe
to be treated as the Republicans an
negroes are treated without protest
We don't intend to take part io an
more Democratic primaries unless a!
Democrats stand on the same lootio
and one Democrat is regarded as goo
as another Democrat. We shall sim
ply let tbe whole thing alone. An
we advise everyone else wbo is treate
as a negro to do tbe same and let tb
political ringsters ran things to su
themselves. If they can stand it, w
can.
Columbia Journal: We think tb
Dispensary law so infamous a disregar
of tbe sacred rights of oar people ; s
humiliating to tbe dignity of oar State
so unjust to oar citizens in putting tbei
own State in the position of a powerfu
and eroshing competitor ; so foreign t
the high and boly inspiration an
feeling of free America ; so inimical t
the thought and feeling of Sooth Caro
Hu ians, who have always felt that tbei
State was their mother, ready at al
times to redress their wrongs, protec
their rights and punish their persecu
tors-this feeling is ruthlessly orasbe<
oat of oar people, and the State of Soatl
Carolina enters into a nosiness and, witi
tbe power of the General Assembly
puta her loyal citizens to confusion am
practically confiscates their propertj
and totally and tyrannically disregards
j their sacred rights.
This infamous paternalism bas not ?
single feat ere of prohibition. We meat
the prohibition generally applied to th<
sale of liquor. Prohibition is regulatec
by recognized and lawful police powers
and though itself unbusinesslike and re
gardless of individual freedom, bas nol
the unfair, unlawful and paternal fea
tores of the Dispensary law.
Aiken Journal andRerieic: The think
ing masses of the whole count ry view witt
extreme solicitude the threatened Bal
ler-Tillman senatorial campaigo in South
Carolina in 1894. At home any mat:
not stricken by hopeless obliquity ol
vision mast already see tbat the effect
of eoch a contest apon the material in?
terests, the moral sentiment and the
social status of the State mast be super?
latively paralysing, degrading and de?
plorable. It is farther to be assumed
that the successful candidate io such a
scramble would have no more influence
on public affairs at the national capital
than if be were a wooden puppet mani?
pulated by a s tr ing. He could do noth?
ing more effective than his election
would imply that he should do, and
that would be io prod the wounds of the
defeated faction at borne and to keep
astir a never-dying Sime of hatred
among the people of Sooth Carolina.
Unless the people of this State wish to
piroaet before the civilization of the
nineteenth century a sorry spectacle of
the least capable of self-control or civil
government, then we shall trust to see
them peremptorily call a halt on the
anarchism of the contemplated senato?
rial campaign by retiring in advance
both ensangoioed candidates.
Carolina Spartan : It is generally
reported tbat Senator Butler and Gov?
ernor Tillman wilt make a race for the
Senate The Legislature elected in
1894, will select Senator Butler's suc?
cessor. It is said that the canvass will
be a hand-to-hand fight. This can be
brought about only in two ways, so far
as we can see. First let there be an
agreement to have a State primary and
let tbe majority of votes decide the
matter That would leave tbe candi?
dates for the General Assembly to roo
on general principles. That would
also have the appearance of ruling oat
a third candidate Tbe members of tbe
Legislature, who are entrusted with the
business of selecting a suitable mao for
that office would bave no voice in the
matter except to confirm tbe vote of the
people. The other plan would be for
two sets of candidates to ruo for the
General Assembly ; one, the Batter
candidates ; the other, the Tillman
meo. That would not be a fair test for
half of the Senators bold over and one
of these migbt be for Butler when the
county was for Tillman. Then that
plans narrows the choice down to two
men, both .of whom might be objection?
able to many honest voters. Take it
anyway yo? please, the condition is not
a healthy one.
Georgetown Times, (Josiah Doar,
editor): Old Ben Tillman black-listed
the editor of this paper long ago, and
declares that our friend Congdon is the
only one dowo here he would trust
Weil, the captain is all right, and is as
good a friend to us as Ben used to be
The Governor "cussed a blue streak" in
speaking to a friend about us. and said
that he never failed to read The Times .
that we seemed to take a peculiar
pleasure io republishing every article
denouncing hitit, and declared that he
would not contest this county any longer
with the Antis. All of which is a
source of great satisfaction to u*. We
tied on to the Dictator with hooks o'
steel, and he deliberately slaughtered
us at the fir- ' opportunity Now that
he admits ?ur etrength tn this county
by turning it over to "his friends the
enemy," when we refuse to back him
any longer or give him any aid or assist?
ance whatever, is glory enough for one
day. We hope tu contribute not & little
of our time and energy to compass hi?
defeat ; at least, we will be found fry?
ing.
Newberry Herald and Xena .- Our
contemporary. The Observer, has a very
good article in its last i?f?ue on the in?
justice and evils of the caucus system
adopted hy one faction in our po'itics
in this State. What it says on this
subject is all very true. The caaeus
plan is a great wrong. But what good
will it do to say "because you treat me
thus I will have nothing more to do
wiih you/* unless you desire to be
free to do a* you please at the general
election. The ou!y privilege we have
left under the present plan of running
the machine is to vote, and that we ex?
pect to continue to do until they deny
us that right also, and we do not think
they will undertake that. We believe
the people will, after awhile, see the
injustice of this caucus business, and
see how wrong it is to so treat their
friends. And they will put a stop to it.
We sometimes think that those who
engage in the caucus do not fully real?
ise the great wrong it is to their friends.
Of course it is to the interest of the
leaders to keep them blinded, and for
the past three years almost everything
has been run on the plane of prejudice
and passion, but this sort of thing can?
not last always. There will be an
[awakening after awhile, and it will be
terrible-like an array with banners to
the aforetime leaders who have been
deceiving the people with unfulfilled
promises and pledges.

B. & L Settlement.
The stockholders of the Sumter Build in
and Loan Association me; on last Friday
evening to receive the report of the commit?
tee appointed to formulate a plan by which
the affaire of the association could be wound
up.
The subjoined rf port was submitted and
adopted without a dissenting vote, therefore
the Association will oe brought to a satisfac?
tory culmination.
Sosrrra S C., May 28, 1893.
To the Stockholders of ike Sumter Building and
Loan Association of Sumter, S. C.:
G KN TL KM EN : The undersigned committee
appointed by your President pursaaot to tbe
resolution adopted by yon at your last meet?
ing, to devise some plan whereby the opera?
tion? of the Association may be wound up as
soon as possible, upon a fair and equitable
basif, beg leave to report,
That they have met together ?nd delibe?
rated earnestly upon the very serious and
complex duty imposed upon them by the reso?
lution.
Your committee was confronted at the out
set by the fact that no scheme for a settlement
could possibly be deviied which would affect
all stockholders equally ?md alike, for the
reason that some stockholders had borrowed
the funds of the Association on tbe premium
plan, some bad borrowed on the discount
plan, and others had not borrowed at all.
We were confronted by the further fact
that of those who bad borrowed on the
premium plan, no two members had borrowed
at the same time, some having ta'.?en their
advances as long as eight years ago, others
seven years, other six, five, four years and so
on. Nor did they borrow at the same rate of
premium ; some having paid as high as 55
percent., some 50 ppr cent., 45 per cant , 40
per cent., 35 per cent., and so on down to
25 per cent.; so that no two member* of the
Association have ever paid back the same
amount of money for the interest and pre?
mium oo their loans.
When the stockholders of the Association
ceased to purchase the money at the regular
monthly meetings, aud the same could not be
sold for want of bidders, and it became
necessary to lend out these funds in order to
reader them productive, then the same in?
equality became to exist amongst those who
borrowed on the discount plan. No two
members borrowed at the same time, some of
them made their loans as far back as five years
ago, some four years, others three, two and
one ye irs and so oo down to thirty days
since. Nor did these borrow at the same rate
of discount; some paid 10 per cent*., some 9
per cent., others 8 per cent ; some paying a
discount on their loans others paying merely
an inteeest on the same
Again : Some of these discount borrowers
have already paid the discount on their loans
up to January 1, 1894, while many of them
paid up to October, November and December,
Whilst, lastly, a number of the stockholders
have never borrowed at all, bot have been
paying up their assessments regularly for the
past eight years, and so far have received
nothing in return.
In making these loans on the discount plan,
after the members bad ceased to bid for the
money at tbe monthly meetings, tbe Board of
Directors seem to have followed the express
terms and provisions of the original Act cf
Incorporation and the Amendments to the
constitution, adopted at the annual meeting
ot shareholders in June, 1888, as provided by
the terms of the original constitution.
By tbe terms of the Act of the Legislature
the Association was chartered for the period of
IO yearn from January 13, 1884, and'itr cor?
porate existence expires therefore on January
13, 1894, until which time the corporation
can exercise all of its powers and franchises.
It seems, therefore, that there are se*eo
months more-Jane to December, cot h. in?
clusive-in which all members can be required
to pay in their monthly.dues ; those who have
borrowed on the premium plan paying( 14 00
per share for the entire seven mouths, and
those not borrowing, paying $7 00 per share
for the entire seveu months.
Inasmuch, however, MS there seems to be a
general desire to wind np the affairs of the
Association as soon aspossitde; and inasmuch
as it appears impossible by reason of the com?
plications hereinbefore referred to, to deal
with each case separately ; aad in our effort
to reconcile as far as possible the conflicting
interests of the parties concerned, your com?
mittee recommends that so soon as each bor?
rower who bas borrowed oe the premium
plan shall pay into the treasury, in addition
to ?ny arrears now due by bim, the sum of
$7.00 per share instead of $14 00 per share,
that thereupon the Association shall satisfy
and surrender their bonds and mortgages,
and release them, and all other members,
from all future payments.
Your committee is painfully conscious of
the fact that the forgoing scheme of settlement
is necessarily unequal. Because where a bor?
rower on the premium plan at 25 per cent,
four yet?rs ago received in cash $150, he only
pays back, ir eluding the $7 00 above men?
tioned, the aggragate sum of $151, so that
such borrower will have paid only $1.00 for
the use of $150 for four years ; but where the
borrower paid a higher rate of premium and
for a longer time, the reverse is true.
Your committee desires to call your atten?
tion to the fact, that if the above settlement
is carried out, the non-borrower will not re?
ceive $153.85 per share as mentioned io tb?
last annual report of your secretary and
treasurer, but will only get about $136 per
share, even if no losses are made in collecting
in the large amount of outstanding loans.
Imperfectas the foregoing recommendations
necessarily are, yet if they effect a final set?
tlement of our affairs, it will have resulted in
many members of the Association, hitherto
without homes of their own, having bought
and paid for the same at a moderate cost and
in small payments. And the other members
of the Association will have accumulated
their ?mail savings through a period of years
with a fair return of interest on the same.

This stock must simply lie

HARRIS' LITHIA WATER,
HARRIS9 LITHIA SPRINGS, S. C.
After a long and varied experience in the use of Mineral Waters from many sources,
both foreign and domestic, I am fully persuaded that the Barris Lithia Water \ o?sesse?
efficacy in the treatment of affr?tions ot the Kidney and Bladder uneqialed by any ether
water of which 1 have made trial.
This opinion is based upon observation of its effects upon my patients for the past
three years, during which time I have perscribed it freely and almost uniformly with benefit
in the medicable maladies above mentioned.
When failure to relieve bas ocr ur ted, I have imputed it to insufficient use of the Water,
for my experience teaches me that from one to two quarts daily should be taken from twa to
four weeks to secure its full remedial effects. A. N. TALLY, M. D.

J. T. Harrris, E.-q . Waterloo, S C. : De-ir Sir-I find, great benefit from the ase ol
your Lithia Water. I consider it M fine tonic ami ge-.eral regulator of the digestion, as well
as very efficacious in those diseases for which L-.ihu* is considered somewhat of a speci&c.
JUDGE J B. KERSHAW.
My wife has been nsing your Lithia Water and is very much benefitted. I consider it
in every respect equal to the famous Buffalo Li;bia Water.
