The Sutnter Watchman was founded
in 185? and the frue Southro^?? 1866.
The Watchman and Sovtkron now has
the combined circulation and influence
of both of the old papers, and is mani?

EDITORIAL NOTES.
We are sincerely glad thar? the at?
tempt to cripple the Citadel and South
Carolina College has been defeated by
the Senate.
This State is going headlong into
that condition of democracy that is
worse than, and but a prelude to, a
dictatorship maintained by physical
force. This statement may be laughed
at but it is tree.
There are already candidates for the
position of Chief of the Metropolitan
police force of the City of Sumter.
How will the taxpayers relish a levy
in taxes lor the purpose of maintaining
a force of mercenaries, over whom the
citizens of the city have absolutely no
control ?
The Atlanta Constitution has already
exteuded an invitation to the South
Carolinians who will leave the State in
consequence of the outrageous tyranny
that the Reformers purpose ' to exercise
through the agency of Metropolitan
police ioiqutty.
What do the Reformers purpose do?
ing with those excellent and virtuous
persons who turn an honest penny by
selling liquor ia the country ? Deny?
ing that liquor is sold in the country
will not convince anyone to the con?
trary. The question is before them.
The refusal of the Legislature to ai alee
the office of State Dispenser ?leArre by
the Legislature, displays a Subser?
viency to the tendency to centralise
power ia the hands of the Governor
that must be very pleasing to Mr B.
R Tillman.
Col. J. Harvey Wilson and Mir.
Manning have the backing of their
constituents io the stand they -ook
against the Metropolitan Police bill.
Col. Wilton's speech was highly com?
plimented by bb audience and all the
papers.
Fashionable New Yorkers will hasten
South to spend the remainder of the
winter as soon as the holidays are over.
They go at such a pace daring the sea?
son that the semi-retirement afforded by
the Florida resorts is necessary to re
?operation. They dance in Florida
during Lent that they may . return to
New York to dance through the post
Lenten season.
We are satisfied that more liquor
twice as much at the very least-has
been sold io Sumter County Outside of
the limits of the City of Sumter than
within the city since the dispensary law
went into effect. And we have good
reason to believe that Sumter County is
not an exception. Under such con?
ditions, wosld it not be in keeping
with the Metropolitan police law to de?
clare martial law throughout the State?
The Democrats in Congress who are
bitterly opposing the Carlisle financial
plan ure enemies to their party and to
the masses of the people who so sadly
need some relief from the burdens that
bear them down into poverty and dis?
tress. We are impoverished by the
inequalities of the present financial
system and these men, actuated by
rancor and spite against the heads of
the administration appear to prefer that
their people suffer rather than be given
relief by those whom they hate.
The people of Georgetown exempli?
fied to President Cleveland what South?
ern hospitality is, and if be did not
appreciate the warm and sincere cour?
tesy of that historic old town lie is not
the man we believe bim to be. Had
the State been canvassed from border
to border no town could have been
selected that is more thoroughly impreg?
nated with the spirit and traditions of
hospitality than Georgetown, and right
worthily did she peforin the duties of
hostess.
Within the last month or six weeks
four or five wealthy cotton mill com?
panies of the New Eoglaud States have
made arrangements to establish large
branch mills in the South, but none of
them will be built 'rn South Carolina.
Two are to be built in Alabama, two or
three in Georgia, one in Tennessee, and
North Carolina one. Why none of
them are to be both in South Carolina
is not explained satisfactorily ; but the
politics of the State are undoubtedly
j respoDsible for the discrimination of the
capitalists against the State. The
State has the most magnificent avail?
able water powers in the UD?OO, several
of which have been developed and are
ready for tbe erection of the mills
notably the Columbia Canal-and still
the mills go to other States. The
radical r?volution in politics and the
unre3t that characterizes the State has
given an evil repute abroad and we
suffer from it. It bas gone abroad that
South Carolina ie a better State to leave
than to come to, and those men who
have been foremost in stirring parti?
sanship and getting offices with big
salaries attached should behold their
work with gratification.
The discontinuance of the Columbia
Journal was received with genuine re
! gr et io Sumter, for the Journal has
always been a good frieod to Sumter,
and we have all had none but the
kindest feelings for the paper. Messrs.
Ball and Boyd have published a paper,
of which they need never feel ashamed,
and in better times they would have
received the support they so richly
merited. Our best wishes shall attend
them in whatever sphere they labor in
future. We trust Mr. Ball will not
retire from journalism, for be is a born
newspaper man, whose loss the fraterni?
ty can ill afford.
"The life of the average country
editor is by no means a bed of roses ;
on the contrary it is an everlasting
struggle and an undying strife. There
are a' great many pleasant features,
privileges and advantages attached to
the country editorial chair. But we
cannot heip saying that 'the hardships
and disadvantages outweigh the form?
er." This from tbe pen of Editor Ba?
con of the Edgefield Chronicle will
strike a responsive chord io the soul of
nearly every editor. Yet* it is not
wholly true, for there are few men who
have one? taken upon themselves the
burdeos and excitements of ao editor's
life that ever lay them down permanent?
ly. The writer/fais made the effort,
bot there is something io the life that
had a fascination strong enough to draw
us back to it. And while there is noth?
ing more mournful that an assembly of
editors when they begin to repine and
bewail their bard lot, after the manner
of au experience meeting, few of them
could be induced to quit; the busi?
ness bo the promise of a certain in?
come in so me other line of business.
There is always some excuse ready, and
all with one accord continu? the strug?
gle with dilinquent subscribers, dead
beats and fault finding readers.
The bill fixing the rate to be paid for
publie advertising which passed the
Senate is framed io the inter
est of economy aod honesty ; but unless
the officials who have charge of the
advertising use more diligence and
oversight than heretofore not muet will
be saved. Those publishers who have
made exorbitant charges heretofore
have usually had the political backing
and connivance of the officials, and it is
au old and very true saying that there
are more ways of killing a dog than
choking him with butter. The notice
of the recent election was paid for,
according to who published the notice.
Io this couoty one paper received $21
for publishing the same notice for which
aoother received ?7. In other counties
the prices varied ail the way from $10
to $50 for the same notice. One pub?
lisher we are informed, presented a bill
of 60 odd dollars, which was reduced to
about fifty dollars and paid. In another j
county two papers published the notice |
and were paid $44 each. The result
i was that the appropriation was
exhausted before all the hills were
paid, and some of the papers have j
received nothing so far, aod. will oot
be able to obtain pay for their work j
until oext year, if theo. A fair price
should be paid for public advertising,
but the practice of paying exorbitant
prices should be stopped as it is an
outrage put upon taxpayers by office?
holders and politicians for the ' purpose
of supporting persona! and political j
organs at the public expense.
An opportunity to secure a large
j bicycle manufacturing plant is offered
; some Southern city. A part of tbe \
j works of the Lozier Manufacturing Co.,
! of Toledo, Ohio, was recently destroyed
by fire. In a letter to the Manufac?
turer's Record announcing this fact, the
company says that it might consider
definite propositions made it to locate
elsewhere. The Lozier Company em?
ploys 400 men, and its works cover a
j considerable area of ground.- Manu?
facturer^ Record.
I The clipping above tell s"of an oppor?
tunity for some enterprising Southern
town. There is no reason why Sum
I ter should not be the town to take ad- j
I vantage of it.
j Christmas was marked by tbe usual
j draoken murders aod accidenta!
killings. The day was anything but
merry to many who were shot, cut or
blow 2 up
Tfcie act of tbe Legislature making
illegal sales under Scotch Mortgages
will perhaps, make a sale under mort?
gage more expensive, but will give
greater security to all parties concerned
with ;be mortgage.
The Metropolitan police scheme is
now a law. The next thing it?, how it
will be enforced. If Gov. Evans de?
cides ;;o hold it in reserve as a menace
to towns that are not sufficiently
zealous in obeyiog his orders in regard
to the enforcement of the dispensary
law, there will necessarily be some
irritation, but not the serious trouble
that we anticipate will result if he
proceeds in a high-handed manner to
take charge of the police of the towns
and cities and create jobs for bis
hungry office hunting undersnappers.
The hardest year in the history of
the country is drawing to a close.
Whether the next year will be more
prosperous or more disastrous depends
upon the people. With the proper
effort, and by the closest ecouomy we
may be able to regaio our lost pros
perity, but to do so we must look
elsewhere thao to cotton. There is
already a movement to establish grain
warehouses in the principal cities in
this section and those who plant grain
will be able to obtain advances from
grain factors, and farmers will then be
made independent of cotton, which has
proved oot only their own ruin, but
disastrous to all lines of business in the
South.
The efl'orts the people of Greenville
are putting forth to make that city a
manufacturing centre should be imitat?
ed by every town in the State. The
day of large profits io the mercantile
line appear to be past io this section,
?ince the only salvation of tbis section
appears to be io a curtailment of expen?
ditures. The farmers will have to
spend less and live more at home,
and the merchants will not be able
to sell sr?" much goods, nor will
they be able to realize as large profits.
The plan of thc Greenville people is a
wise one, for it is the only one that will
insure the growth of the city. The
population of the city will be increased
and the business of the city will be
enlarged. The wages paid the opera?
tives io the factory will keep up a con?
stant circulation of money in the com?
munity and much more than the net
ptofita on che io vestment will revert
to those who build the factories.
Gov. Evans has been as good as his
word aod bas treated the counties which
did oot volte for him as Republican
uconties. lu Richland County the ap?
pointive offices were given to Reform?
ers, and though the Senate refused to
confirm bis appointee for auditor, Gov.
Evans will give him the office all the
same. IQ Sumter County be appointed
Reformers to all the trial justiceships,
but respected the primary by appoint?
ing A. B. Stuckey Auditor. The
present Treasurer, D. E. Keels, will
be continued in office until the preseot
tax levy is collected and then H.' L.
Scarborough, the'nominee of the pri?
mary will be appointed, it is said. It
is presumed that Gov. Evans will com?
mission the trial justices, who were re?
jected by the Senate. No one is sur?
prised that be appointed Reformers to
the trial justiceships in this county, nor
that certain men who style themselves
leaders of the Reform party in Sumter
County made a desperate effort to in?
duce him to disregard the nominations
of the primary and appoint Reformers
to fill the offices of Treasurer and Au
i di tor.
! Notice.
All persons living or having interests in
the Townships of Swimming Pens, Providence,
Smithville and Hafting ('reek, who ar? in?
terested in the building of an extension of
I the Three C's Raiilroad, from Camden, S. C.,
? to Sumter, S. C., will please meet at the
I Court House in S amter on Monday Jan. 7 tb,
'95. J. D. GSA HAM,
W. Y L. MARSHALL.
The above looks like business. It is a fine
idea to have the people of the dilferent town?
ships meet, and discuss the Sumter and Cam
j den Branch extension of the Three C's R. R.
It is not unlikely that Messrs. Hunt and Col?
lier, the two clever representatives of the Byn
I dicate that desire to build the road will be
here to meet the people and tell them what
I the Three C's proposes to do. Mr. Samuel
Hunt is President and Mr. J. J. Collier Sec
1 retary and Treasurer of Three C's Railroad,
i These gentlemen are very anxious to find out
j just bow much interest the people of Sumter,
I Providence, Swimming Pens, Smithville and
? Rafting Creek take in the proposed road, for
j of course unless people along the line manifest
j interest and give them encouragement there
I will be very little inducement for this syndi?
cate of capitalists to build the Sumter and
Camden branch; so a strenuous effort should
be made to cet a large dele2-vion from every
township mentioned above.
Mr. W. Y. L. Marshall received a letter
from Mr. J. J. Collier, Secretary and Treasur?
er Three C's Railroad Co., in which he ex?
preses a desire to know bow the people stood
in reference to the building of the proposed
Sumter and Camden R. R. Messrs. Hunt
and Collier are undoubtedly doing what they
eau for Sumter and the other townships and
are good friends to the people all along the
line, and they should be cordially received
and be given to understand that their efforts
are appreciated when'they next come to Sum?
ter. They should be sent an invitation to
attend the meeting on January 7th.
Mr. E. It. Saynor Presented with
a Silver Tilting Pitcher.
For several weeks Mr. E. M. Raynor, the
efficient and cen i qi Superintendent of motive
power of the C. S. k N. Railroad Coropanr,
has been confined to his bed from a severe
illness but his absence from the shops, and
his illness did not decrease his popularity
among his subordinates, nor their regard and
fondness for bim. The employees of the C.
S. k N. R.R.. in the motive power depart?
ment, appreciating the kindness and clever
way in which their considerate Superintendent
bp always treated them, and looked after
tl ?ir interests, determined that this good
citizen 8boold he given to understand that
their stout and aturdv bear's beat in sym?
pathy for the man who has been as a father
to many of them, and a true and tried friend
to them all. They presented him with
a very handsomely engraved and valu?
able solid silver Tilting Pitcher, which was
given to him at his bedside last Saturday
evening by Messrs. Yeadon Delgar and R. C
Huntley, two dnly apoointed representatives
of the motive power denartraent.
Messrs. Delgar and Huntley were instructed
by the men to say that this Xmas eift was
intended to con?ev to their kind-hearted
Master Mechanic, the knowledge that "his
boys" entertained for bim the sincerest sym?
pathy, esteem, respect and honor, and to
show him that his past kindness, friendship
and interest in their welfare was fully seen
and appreciated bv them.
Mr. Ravnor's illness, of course, would not
permit of anything buta quiet and uncere?
monious presentation at his residence, but
the entire force of the motive power depart?
ment would like to bave been present, and
shake his hand, and speak their assurance of
friendship and good will, and wish him a
merry Xmas and a happy New Year.
Mr. Raynor was deeply touched by this en?
tirely unxpected atestimo?ial from his men,
but,despite his illness, .be could not be- re?
strained from making a manly effort to show
his appreciation, and sitting up in his bed.
he made a few short, nevertheless, touching
and appropriate. remarks to Messrs. Delgar
and Huntley, and sent words full of friend?
ship and good cheer to his big-hearted and
appreciative fellow mechanics, and wished
them all a very merry Xmas. It was quite
evident that he had been made very happy
be their kind remembrance, and longed to be
with them again in person. Mr. Raynor
is a clever and refined Christian gentleman,
highly respected by his fellow officers and the
people of the Game Cock City. Since be?
coming a citizen he bas conducted himself in
a manner that bas made him many friends,
who, wbi?e regretting bis illness, are, per?
haps. 8s proud of the testimonial to bis high
standing, from C. S. k N. employees, as the
motive power men are themselves. We all
hope to see Superintendant Raynor well again,
very soon, and The Daily Item joins in with
Mr. Raynor's many friends and motive power
subordinates in extending bim the compli?
ments of the season, sincere wishes for a
speedy recovery, and also'in hope that, des?
pite his illness, he may SOP- 1 a merry Xmas
and a happy New Year.
Mr. Geo. E. Bruner, th" oopnlar young
Road Master of the C. 8. k N. R. R., was
also the recipient of a handsome silver
service, presented to bim by Messrs. C. E.
Nichols and F. L. Gibson, representatives of
the C. S. k N. employees. Mr. Bruner is
perhaps the youngest man who occupies such
an important position as road master. He
come to Sumter about four or five years ago
as an apprentice in the engineer corps and by
prompt attention to duty bas worked himself
op to his present important position. He is
very clever and courteous to his subordinates
and fellow officers, and is well liked by them
all. This presentation is a testimonial to his
qigh standing with the men, and he certainly
deserved it.
Hurrah for George, and The Item also joins
in with the C. S. k N. R. R. boys and
George's many friends in wishing him a
merry Xmas and a happy New Year.
Now that Xmas is upon os, it is a wise and
generous act to make self-sacrifices in order
o make others happy, and it is particularly
appropriate to remember the poor. Among
people most generally noted for generosity
and chatity and philathrophy, the railroad
men invariably respond to this sentiment in
true christian style. This fact is practically
demonstrated in the offering of the big-hearted
employees of the C. S. k N. R. R. for the
poor of this city. These good men being
cognizant of their own worldly blessings in
comparison to many others, concluded that
Christmas times would bring them more joy
and happiness in the knowledge that they
bad assisted in making others less fortunate
happy, so with that spirit of charity, so
characteristic of the C. S. k N. men, they all
subscribed to a Xmas fund and donation for
the poor. Some went dowu into their pockets,
some gave geese, some gave turkeys, some
chickens, fruit and a nnmber of other things
to cheer up the gloomy homes. Maoy a
poor mother will ask God's blessing upon
these sturdy, big-hearted railroad men when
their little children clap their bands, and their
sweet yoang voices cry out in true Xmas joy
and happiness over the toys,-fruits, etc., the
C. S, k N. Santa Claus has sent to them.
There are many veritable old Santa Clauses to
be found at the throttle of locomotives, and
at the forges, and in the shops and offices,
and on the cars and yards cf the C. S. k N.
Railroad, at Sumter. They do not travel io
sleighs drawn by reindeer, but the proverbial
Santa Clans never had a more charming
smile, npr a larger heart, than the C. S. k N.
R.R. employees
All honor to them, and may each and every
one spend a merry Xmas and a happy New
Year.
