The Watchman and Southron now has he combined circulation and influence of both of the old papers, and is mani? festly the best advertising medium in >amter EDITORIAL NOTES. Judge Chirles 9 Simon ton, nov District Judge of the U S. Court for the District of Sooth Carolin*, bas beso nominated to succeed Judge Bond is Circuit-Judge. It ts said that Cbief Justice Fuller and many of the ablest lawyers io the Southern States urged bis appointment. Represen uti ve Brawley was very active in promoting Judge Siaonion'3 nomination, and it is reported that be may have toe District Judgeship if he wants it. It is ?Iso said that Judges Hudson and Wallace, ?nd ex-Representatives Elliott, Hemphill and Dargan, hare been thought of in connection with that office. It ts not probable that anything looking to the 'filling of the office will take shape un;ii -Judge Simon ton's nomination shall be ron- ! firmed. We are very glad that th's judicial ermine is to be worn br a Judge AU able and imparti?! as Charles H. Simon ton. ft is an honor also to the State which the President -has thus conferred. Brother Ben will not approve, of course, bat he, like ali the rest of mankind, must, sometimes, submit to the inevitable. Perhaps his bitter criticism of -Judge Simon ton helped to have him nomi? nated ! Such things do occasionally happen. Poor Charleston may bug this little crumb of .comfort in this her day of adversity, and congratulate herself upon ceeiog her distin? guished adopted son elevated to so respon? sible an office. Old Mr. Hoar, ^be hoary beaded Senator t from that origina! cradle of secession, and training school for kickers, Massachusetts, has been .letting go a portion of bis bitter? ness on President Cleveland. The occasion of the attack was the introduction by bini of j a resolution catling upon the President for a statement of his reasons for appointing a Hawaiian Commissioner, without consulting, the Senate. Be said li?t in -appointing such Commissioner and superseding the accredited minister of the Government, the President was guilty of as gross a violation of the Constitution as ever was charged upon any public officer, and much more to the same effect. No sooner had be sat down than Senator Gray arose and proceeded to the President's defence, incidentally administer? ing a castigation to the ancient and bilious Senator from near the Hub, such as he will scarcely recover from before the close of the holidays The old gentleman objected to being called a scold, as he termed it, but the, fact is hedfc^no? refish tte taste of his awn' medicine, which be hid fast Oeeo"'offering" to the President. And.now comes one Stone, Governor of Missouri, echoing our Governor's sentiments as to alleged usurpations of the Federal Conrts, and quoting Jefferson's prophecy that they would prove to be the greatest danger to our institutions and liberties. He ; states that a number of Governors are "tak- j ing cognizance of these usurpations and are expressing a determined purpose to resist j them. Governor Mitchell, of Fla., wants Congress to make the law ou this question so j clear thal ?o Judge can prevent the collection j of taxes on property in the bands of a ! receiver. So the old question of State sovereignty will not down, and there may be another fight yet before the matter is i finally settled. If Governors keep on talk? ing that way, a war spirit will be stirred up, and "old glory" have to be fought for again. If these were dog days, such talk would sound more natural, but coming io the midst of winter, it suggests some occult and baleful planetary influence at work, or it may be that another Dr. Ox is repeating bis experiment on a large scale somewhere between Missouri and Florida. The exec? utives of the several States most affected, should repair totbe summit of the Alleghanies and cool their fevered brain in the snows of that Exeelsiorlike land. This is straigbtout advice, but it is sound even if it is notan "Administration measure.' ' Mitchell and Corbett are beginning to oc? cupy more space in the papers than they are justly entitled to. Of course it is all part of a big advertising scheme, and is so understood, but ail the same, it is disgusting to some ?f as to have the sayings and doings of these great brutes daily recorded and wired all over the world, as if they refiected honor on the race instead of disgrace, as >s really the case. And as for Jackonvillt, she ought to be thoroughly ashamed of herself for inviting the bruisers to exhibit themselves there. We hope there will be found some legal method of preventing the meeting. Spued out by the North, they come here to defile our Southern country, and bring down her proud fame to the level of Coney Island, and even lower, because tbe people there would have none of them. Toward the close of her career, wheo the glory was rapidly departing from ber, Rf me gave herself up to such spectacles as this, and her many' "dead game sports" bowled themselves hoarse, and bet their money freely, on gladiators and boxers and wrestlers. Does our growing fondness for the same sort of thing indicate that our glory is departing, and that after slow and miserable decay, we are to make way for a more robust and virile type of the race ? We confess to a feeling of deep melancholy when weseeour peo? ple practising tbs rude arts of the barbarian, and eocsenireg lo a lawlessness which means nothing short of anarchy. Lynching, prize fighting and gambling on a scale unprece? dented, nnder the specious name of "specu? lating in futures;" these are among the char? acteristic features of our present social devel? opment. Well may the lover of bis ki od and b?s country, ask, " W-hat are we coming to? From Parkerville, West Va., we learn that Miss Jennie Dwight, one of six women Students ?I rW^oursviiie College, is s*id to ie d\ing bhe recently dressed in ??oy's clothes and engaged in ali sorts of mischief. This, however, is oot the proximate cause of her present sad condition, but, it is Said, she aud the other young women hid in the boys' dormitory, for the purpose, of frightening them! While engaged sn this laudable and ladylike performance, Miss Dwight had the misfortune to he mistaken for a burglar by A muscular young fellow, who proeeeded vigor? ously to knock her down, kick and push her out of door?, more dead thau alive. It ia said that she cannot survive her injuries. Well, she should consol herself with the reflection that she died in a noble and glorious cause-the right to wear men's'clothes, a??d hide in their dormitory for the purpose of frightening them. We ate-": also informed that all the girls engaged m the prank are daughters of pro? minent people- So this is the West Virginian conception of a prank, and this is how the sexes are co-educated at Btrboursville College, and this is the style of behaviour iodulged.in by daoghters of prominent peo? ple out there! Again we repeat, "where are weat?" Miss Jennie should have screamed just once, and if the fellow had not been too badly frightened, he would not have con? ducted himself after the manner of the foot? ball player and the burglar bouncer, but would doubtless have asked to be "swred again ?" In the French Chamber of Deputies on Saturday last, Auguste Vaillant, anarchist and socialist, threw a bomb which, in ex? ploding, injured more or less serious!y eighty persons, fifty of whom were spectators and the rest members of the Chamber. Vaillant j himself was one of those most seriously in- j j ii red. His right arm was shattered, his nose blown .off, his neck and chest were lacerated. The bomb was Ailed with large nails. A woman who sut next to him, seeing him pre? pare to throw the bomb, seized his arm, but j while the missile was thrown his aim was j spoiled by the brave woman's act. He threw j the bomb at Mr. Dupuy, president of the j House, lt struck the cornice of the j public gallery and exploded In con-1 eluding his confession. Vaillant said, "Il am sorry I failed. I hope others who follow me will be more fortunate. Long live anarchy" ! Vaillant is a French- ! man by birth, but he has long been a rover, j He was once in this country, it is raid, and deserted his wife here, carrying with him their daughter. There will now be in order Stringent efforts to repress tiki outrages, and resrict the sale and use of explosives, on the part of the government. Italian anarchists in Reme comment with undisguised glee on the outrage. In Barcelona, Spain, the alarm caused by the bomb-throwing in the theatre there, has been renewed tty the tidings ot VailUnt's act. Au old writer, counted by some an inspired seer and prophet, declared that there should appear io the last perilous times a person whom he calls "the lawless one," which ts a good description of the anarchist, as his words and actions reveal bim. Perhaps we have hit upon those times. Certainly lawlessness is on the increase, and therefore the way is *>eung. pre? pared for the appearance bf some colossal incarnation of the spirit of lawlessness, whose title may well be "The Lawless One," and who shall lead-the hosts of anaichy in what appears to.be the coming irrepressible conflict. ANOTHER CONTRARY DECIS? ION. ? I I i'll Judge Simonton lins gone and done it ! again. The facts as telegraphed on the 11 th, j are as follows : I James Edgerton, the agent of the Clyde i Line of New York and Charleston steam j ships, was to-day released from custody hy order of Judge Simonton of the United States District Court. Mr. Edgerton was arrested on September 19, undet the Dispensary L*w, for bringing liquors into the State on the steamship '^Seminole, twelve barrels of Weer, marked I "mineral water," having been seized on the : ship after her arrival. Edgerton gave bond ; for his appearnce, but subsequently surren ! dered himself to the sheriff and went before ' Judge Simonton and asked for a discharge on the ground that the Dispensary Law under which he was arrested is in contra? vention of the inter-state commerce law. The question decided by the court in the decision rendered today is that a State cannot forbid the importation of intoxicating liquors into its territory by a common carrier engaged in interstate and foreign commerce The Wilson Act, according to Judge Simon ton, gives no new power to the State; all that it does is to remove a protection from imported packages, ?nd places them under State jurisdiction. The decree concludes as follows : "It is no offense on the part of this general agent of Clyde Line that the liquors were imported as stated. Let the ! prisoner be discharged." The decision op-ns the door wide for the ' importation of liquor, as it exempts the agents of railroads and steamship lines from punishment by the State courts for violation of the Dispensary Law. SALEM COUNTY. The interest is beginning to increase in the proposed new county to be called Salem, or "Ben Tillman," but, to date, the interest in this section is of the negative kind, pro? duced more by curiosity than anything elie. The concensus of opinion, as far as we have been able to gather, is that if the people of the section affected desire the change it should be granted tbem. The sentiment in favor of smaller counties is now much stronger than tn former years, and if the constitutional requirement as to area can oe amended, there will be no very serious ohjection io this part of the county. The lines proposed for the new county are such that Bishopvilie will be very near tbe center, and this will secure to that place the Court House, and the end sought will be accomplished. The lines are as follows : "Beginning at the intersection of Rocky Creek with Lynch's River, running in a straight southwesterly direction to the intersection of the lines of Flat Rock ami DeKalb Township, thence in K southerly direction in a straight line :o the interjection of Rafting Creek Township line with the Sumter nnd Kershaw County line, thence running five miles in a southwesterly direc? tion to McGort's Branch, thence following the said McGort's Branch down toits inter? section with Scorpion Swamp, thence follow? ing said Scorpion Swamp down to Swimming Pens, where it crosses the public road leading to Sanders' Bride, on Lynch's River, up to a point due east of the town ot Bisliopville, thence running in a straight line in a north? easterly direction to a point on Black Creek four miles helow where said creek crosses ?he Chesterfield and Darlington County line, thence running from said point up RUck Creek to where said creek crosses the Chester? field and Darlington County line*, thence following said County line in a northeasterly direction to where it intersects Cedar Creek, thence running in a line due north until it reaches a point sixteen miles trom the inter? section of Rock Creek and Lynch's River, thence running due west from said point sixteen miles to the said intersection of Rock Creek and Lynch's River, the beginning course." For Instance : H WEDGEFIELD, S. C , Dec. ll, 1893. The Watchman and Southron will confer a favor by inserting the following notice: The ladies of the Wedgefield Baptist Church, will give a hot supper on the 22nd Dec, for the benefit of the church. Oysters will be served. We have a role that we do not publish matter without the name of some respon? sible party to vouch for it. The propriety of this rule is well exemplified bv the forego? ing. Who vouches for the truth of the statements therein contained. Upon whom will the W. and S be conferring a favor? Whereabouts in Wedgefield is the supper to be spread ? And at what hour ? Our rule is not captious, as will be readily seen. If the person we are conferring a favor on will send us an amended notice and his or her name, we will be pleased to onb lish it next week-the, notice, not the name Guv's Letter. "Tell Us ye winged winds That round our pathway roar, Is there a spot of earth where dints are Mailed no more?*' "Would we were a bov again/' "Make us a child again,"-leetle gal child "Oh for a lodge in some vast wilderness, Some boundless contiguity of shade. Where all this plaint and habbleof hard times I Shall reach us never more." : But there is.no such wilderness now, it's i cleared up into a cotton patch. It requires a great deal of religion to hear ! up under the present stress ; more trust in the j precious promises of the Cn. a tor and less trust j in the specious promises of the creature-much { less. We've b*en out on a collectif g trip j several trips-and we'v?* collected a consider I able amount of-a-of promises. They are j fair promises, to^, very fair; in fact they are ; gilt edge promises We'd like to deposit some of 'em in bank and draw on 'em at a heavy discount, or we'd use 'em as collateral for a small-long-loan, or trade 'em nut at | any store-in trade-all in trade. We've j tried to cancel some ot our own debts with them, nut our creditors say they are already ! supplied, and that there is an overproduction, i There must have ueen a prodigious crop of i promises issued this season to cause Such de? preciation. Seems as though we'd reached the "promise land," without recognizing the jubi?antry of it; We've been looking around for a happy man-white man-our brother in black was created happy, both male and female, after his kind. He can't pay j 'tel he get straightened, and don't care a d ; dime. The white man can't pay because he j is straightened,-and is made to care a d-deal j ufa sighL We are authorized to offer a con j siderable reward-in fact, we guarantee quite j a fortune to any one who can prove to us that : he or she is perfectly contented with their pre ! sent lot. Applicants wjil pleasec Hnmumcate ! pron ptly, enclosing one dime to pay-lo-er j -well, gol darn it, necause we need thedim**. We need it to pay our expenses. We've not ? J been to the World's Fair, and the Midway j j w'at-you-call-'em, nor the State Fair, either, j even at the reduced rates the Columbia papers j ' so persistently advertised The former fair rates from our post was $1 6u. This year they wer?- reduced (?) to $2 70 This is on a par with the "reduction" of our taxes and some other "it-solutions" and "reforms" thai ' we've bee? experiencing latterly. . We may be too obtuse; bm we tedoggonned if we bat'nt j ? failed to realize the Jovial mirthfulness aud exulting felicity of the present Reform Jubilee. ; or, perhaps, the retorta may be somewhat ob? ie) ue or onnubitated; but we'll be gosh ; digued if much more of it don't obliterate : some of us. We are even now offering to go in partnership with any one to live on bread I and water Our proposition is that the part? ner will furnish the bread and we'll get a i ? hump on us and furnish the water, but even I on these fair and equitable terms there are no lakers, evincing the entire want of confider.ee in one another m this anomalous and record* j breaking and dam-breaking year Well, well, we might hope tor a valuable lesson trom the present condition of things, if .it were'nt for ihe sophism of the day; but," unfortuuately. the very class that would be most benefited by the lesson, and who are sui- j tiering most from the want of lue knowledge that the Great Ruler himself is, apparently, j leaching them, are taught instead that all their woes are bred in Washington and Wall | Street. That money, currency, is the?'? qua non, and the millionaires, ny some hocus pocus, have rounded up the pile and that the Government must, forsooth, print aud stamp some more for us. 'Sposio' it does, won't the millionaires git that too? The mere money getters, the world over, are only consumers, i and produce absolutely nothing that would, j perse, sustain life or contribute the least to ; their comfort, and they would therefore starve j and freeze but that they can use that money, currency, as a medium of exchange tor the farmer's product. We ptofess, or pretend (?) , to pursue a business that furnishes the food ' and clothing for the ballance of the world, ! the money makers. The farmer, by a proper i recognition and adoption of the style of living ; which his business would warrant, and by a sound and correct system of business manage? ment and methods, can live in the enjoyment ! of comforts, and even many luxuries, with very little else than his produce as a medium i of exchange. Instead of i his we've been raak tug too streneous efforts to be millionaires ourselves by discarding too many of the old ? safe methods and adopting this fallacious, : post bellum, rapid progress, speculative style j of business which has produced its natural results. "Get the glass eyes and, like a Scurvy politician, seem to see the things thou ? dost not." So Sbak8peare wrote away in . "lang syne," and 30 'tis yet. Let those, who j will, pin their faith to politicians and popul? ists, in cu38in' the plutocrats; but for us and our house we'll devote us to pigs and potatoes and cultivating the products of our benign old mam. The young folks-and some of the-er- | rer-more settled (ones-are preparing a ? varied and recherche entertainment, consist? ing of charades, tableaux, music and recita- . tions, which will be given to tbe public on ' Thursday, 28th inst., at St. Charles, in the ball over the large store of Messrs.

When we awoke that morning in the grey dawn we were vaguely conscious that some? thing, we were too sleepy to remember quite what, was going to happen But suddenly our memories returned and it flashed upon ns that ibis was the long planned for, watched for, wished for day of our excursion. Such clatter and hurry. Big sisters tying ?his and pinning that, while big brothers were giving last psis and thumps to sundry handles and baskets : mammas and papas gathering all the little ones nw stowing them away in wriggling masses in the wagons, were the order of the day. Then came the ride to the station adown dew-8teeped lanes and over sun rise tinted hills. Then the long wai-?-the whistle-the hiss and roar of the ironhorse. the hurry skurn for seats-clanging of bells and off we roll amid clouds of steam. Far from the madding crowds ignoble strife, we pause, while the train disgorges tts ? heterogenous contents. A motley crew in? deed. Bonnie, ruddy-faced iads and lassies, carefully escorting minute specimens of humanity in the shape of small brothers and ?isters. Bashful bumpkins following ador? ingly demure damsels ; followed ?4y an in? discriminate crowd of aunts and uncles, fathers and mothe s and cousins of every sort and description So much are thev mixed that you are tempted to think that the line in old ' Coronation" starling "Let every kindred every tribe," has been followed very strictly. At last the vast assembly seem to be settled. Some are "tripping the light fantastic," others spreading luncheons while others still are investigating the leafy alcoves that every? where abound. Come let us steal away to look into the crystal depths of South Carolina's matchless font. Over the hills we trudge for a little- way, j and while wego nature's handmaid, the heavy ' scented Southern breeze, envelopes ns in J waves of languorous fragrance, blown up I from distant vales where blooms the white magnolia Under our feet the tiny flowerettes blow, and over 'gainst the wheat and corn across the old fence the blue corn flower nods and becks to her love-the rath red popp) - as to and fro they sway-whilst every brake and bush resounds with matin lays from? nature's orchestra. The encircling hills of ol d'San tee shut io a veritanle Paradise, for stepping to the edge of yonder bluff we behold the jewel which God has 8*t in the everlasting hills. There it lie.?, j a hundred feet below us, gleaming, scintilla!- j ing in the sweet, fresh sunshine through the i leaves ot the quivering aspen boughs. Then we take the winding foot-path that j leads U9 to the grape-vine swing w'erhanging ; ...the Spring's lucid depths. Tbe dell in which the spring flows is, per- ! haps, a hundred feet wide, an i down to the bend wherethe stream disappears is about three hundred. The stream' fills the woodland hoi- i low; so still aud quiet is it down in mother earth's bosom that it seems like dreamland, with the wafer as clear as crystal flowing out of the base of the overhanging hillside overa mosaic of stones. How it all comes back to me ! The still, white heat shimmering above on the hills and down by the spring side, thecool, green grass, th? gurgle of the passing waters, blending with the sad minor notes of'the "srbboirrg pines The water da king into little pools and nestling to the lusb grass along the shore, the i hurrying on as if to catch their long-past places-like a little -hist child that starts out singing on its way but its tiny feet grow weary. Then it sobs itself to sleep only to wake and hurry, crying, on to lind its old companions of day8 gone by. Tbe suofiecked surface, with its interlacing shadows, casting little golden brown splotches on the stones beneath. The darkling shade, the soft, hushed murmur ot the gliding, creeping, wiling waters, the sudden giiut of sunlight coquetting with the peaceful stream. The tall clump of gresson the islands, with here and there a jagged stump showing out against the distant vistas, seeming to lead into the gloaming of departed years and dreams of years seen through shadow-mists of the past. The solemn hush of tbe summer woods broken not save by the Bobwhite's whistle for its mate. It seems as if the gloam must never break to hir d us again with life's glare, but sleepers must awake, aud so we start back for owr group, to tell them of God's wondrous-jewel .set thus Then comes the ride home through the land, shaded by night's swarping robes, with some? thing come into our lives we dreamed not of before, the rattle and clank of the train .lend? ing a drowsy undertone to our thoughts, so as not to mar the meiodv of one uerfect dav.
