We hear that a forked tree with t\ blazes on it ts a pretty certain sign of blind tiger in some sections. A stock company to propagate ai cultivate the 'possum for market is tl latest enterprise mooted. What next Cigarettes, at the rate of one hundn a day, killed Robert Louis Stevensoi but a smaller dose has often proved i effective. Darlington is to have a tobaci factory, and so is Rook Hill, an Chapina. The State is progressing, i spots, notwithstanding the hard time The constables will not proceed I chase tiger in the country, it is to t hoped that the constables will not t blinded with hay seeds. We like to read about the buildin of cotton factories in the South, but w should take more pleasure in the fa. that Southern men were building a fe more of them. ? If this cold spell just continues lon enough all the tramping fraternity wi land in South America. They ar disgusted with the Sunny South an ' are hunting a warmer plaoe. The Populist Senators are in favo of joining forces with the Republican and sharing the patronage pro rata Irby and Tillman are counted on to g into this arrangement. It is feared that the freeze has io jared the oat crop, but several expert enoed farmers say that they think not We trust that those who think not thinl right, for the oat crop in this county ii something big. Mr James McLeod of Rafting Creel township has killed forty hogs this win? ter rh*t averaged more than one hun dred and nfy pounds, uet. These were not very big .hogs, but Mr McLeoc .. h*? some meat on hand nevertheless. As a monstrosity on the face of 'thc earth we can commend the reformen who are ?till io a passion with the mee who chased the dispensary constables during the Darlington trouble lasi April. We met one the other day who was still purple behind the ears. Things are ap side down. Nobody wants to be Alderman, mules are worth more thao horses, farmers are planting '"' all coro aod no cotton. English spar? rows are making themselves useful, factories are moving South and Tillman has quit talking for publication. Look out for more cold weather, perhaps earthquakes. * It is not too late for the business men . of Sumter to organize a tobacco ware? house company, and advertise the fact that there would be a home mark t for home raised tobacco. Were this done much more tobacco would be planted this year and the result would be that much more money would be spent in Sumter next fall. Mills Statistics is authority for the statement that the middle Carolina country was settled by cattle raisers, who fouod the ccuotry peculiarly adapted to stock, and moved here from Yirgioia with their families and herds. Cattle were raised here aod driven north to Virginia, Maryland and other states for sale before the Revolutionary War. In these days cattle are raised in Virginia and shipped here. There appears to be a decided disin? clination oo the part of the prominent business men of the city to make the race for Aldermao to fill out the unex? pired term of Capt. W. R. Delgar, deceased. We trust, however, that the - position will oot be allowed to go a begging, and that some of the many available men will permit their names to be used. Mr. Joseph A. Stuart, of California, wishes to make a change in the calen? dar. He would have four weeks in a mooth aod thirteen months io the year, aod every mooth to begin oo the same day of the week. If this scheme will reduce the rate of ioterest, iocrease the price of cottoo, help U9 to pay debts or compel delioquent subscribers to liqui- j dato, we want the change made in a hurry; otherwise we can worry along with the present arrangement. I The Darlington Neics says tobacco taros are goiog np all over couo-ry around Lamar. The peopl Darlington are making money of tobacco and they appreciate a g thing. Gov. Evans has announced that will not give as much attention to details of the management of the . pensary as has been given hereto! by the Governor. The report t John Gary is a pretty decent sort < fellow must have some foundation. The division of delegates to Constitutional Convention is all ri and agreeable if the reformers do insist on making tbe division on Indian and white mau plan. You ts the buzzard and I take the turkey, o lake the turkey and you take the bi zard. The Democrats in CoDgress hi voted down the Carlisle Currency Bi and there is no hope of the passage the bill. The financial problem will turned over to the Republicans frc whom the mass of the people have lit to expect. The Democratic majority Congress appears to have in its rankt lot of fools, cranks and rascals. Mr. W D. Woods, who wa9 edit and proprietor of the Darling^ Herald bas begun the publication an agricultural paper at Florene It will be devoted to the planting inte ests exclusively, and will not enter tl field of politics in any way. There no agricultural paper published in tl State, and Mr. Woods should fi od ready support of bis new venture, n wish him a success. When the time comes for electic delegates to the Constitutional Conve tion Judge T. B. Fraser's name shoul be place at the bead of the ticke Learned in the law, of sound jude ment, and conservative in temper; ment and as true a citizen as is to b found within the State, no more sui able man could be seat to the conver? ti on. It would be a regretable circumstanc if any children should be compelled t leave the Graded School on account < inability to pay the contingent fee, bu there is and bas been no necessity c any child leaving ochool on this ac count. There is a fund to pay th fees of all children whose parents ar uuable to pay the fees. Attention i directed to a notice from Superinten dant Duffie in reference to this matter. The Marion Star has been sold b; Mr. Juuius H. Evans and will be rut io the interest of Reform by Mr. J. D Montgomery. Mr. Evans was a write of forcible and, at times, caustic Eog lish that it was a pleasure to read it this time of subservient twaddle The Star waa always decided in its opinior and there was no necessity to read ii twice to discover where it wa3 at. Sumter was one of the first towns ic the State to undertake to build a cottor factory, but wheo the half equipped yarn mill did not make money every? one was disappointed and dissatisfied Had the mill been fully equipped, and had it had sufficient funds to pay operating expenses without borrowiog, it would have been paying dividends from the first. Gov. Evans has undertaken to arouse interest in the Atlanta Exposition for tbe purpose of induoiog the people to make a creditable exhibit of the re? sources of South Carolina. This is an undertaking in which all progressive citizens of the State can co operate with Gov. Evans. If South Carolinians were so constituted that they could ex? pend as much energy along the line suggested by Gov. Evans, as they do io politics, this State would soon be the greatest in the Union. A few years ago the young men of this section were eager to go West, and at that time the West undoubtedly offered greater oportuoitics for young men of energy than any other section of thc country ; but at this time thc South Atlantic State0 seem to have the attention of the country, and if one half the money is invested io the South that is in prospect these States will fill up with young men from the other States. Those who are here are on the ground io advance, and by thc exercise the proper business discretion they will have the opportunity to attain a competence. The development aud utilization of the water powers of the State of South Carolina will magnify the wealth of the State beyond the most sanguine estimate and more than treble the population. Such growth within the period of ten, fifteen or even twenty years will furnish untold opportunities for the young men. , An essay on Boad Building written by Mr. Issac Harby, son of Mr. H. Harby, of this city is published to-day. The subject is one which is receiving great attention in all parts of the coun? try, and the essay is workthy of care? ful reading. The Columbia State has struck the key note of the tobacco problem in this State, and is in line with what wc have been saying for months. No crop can be profitable as long as it costs one third of the market price to pay for placing it on the market. "Tobacco raising in South Carolina will not prove as profitable as it ought to be until home markets are provided. There is reason to believe that the crops made by isolated growers and sent to North Carolina for sale are systematically undervalued. The worst swindles of the old eotton factorage system are being duplicated by distant ware? housemen who take advantage of the producer's absence and unfamiliarity with qualities and prices. We have heard of a lot of tobacco raised near Columbia and sold on consignment for 20 cents a pound that turned out to be worth 45 cents. The remedy for this is home warehouses and home facto? ries." A few years ago Spartanburg was known as a little hill town, whose chief claim to notoriety was Wofford College. It was even said that Spartanburg was a dead town with little or 3 future before fer Rock Hill * ... an in? significant village. To-day these towns are the most progressive places in the State ; are probably, also, toe richest per capita. This cbaoge has been wrought by the enterprise and co-operation of the men cf those towns. They did not pull apart, but together. There was ! none of that spirit that causes the man with a thousand to refuse to go into an enterprise with the mao with a hundred for fear that the little fellow might receive some benefit from bis thousand by association. There was no inten? tional wrecking of properties by the big stockholders for the purpose of squeezing out the little fellows. They al' worked together for success, and whenever any enterprise was started there were men ready to push it forward ; with money. Unless South Carolina i becomes iufused with jost such spirit; he capitalists of the North will come f down here after awhile and make for- j tunes out of the opportunit?s that the people of the State were too short-sight- j ed to improve. CONCERNING OF A DECISION ! Some of the lawyers io Sumter have taken \ issue with Judge Towniend in his recpnt ! decision in the case of the Sumter Building and Loan Association, plaintiff, vs D J. j Winn, defendant. The decision was publish i ed ii the last issue of this paper. One attorney said it was the greatest law: ever propounded from the bench, and that it upsets a great deal of the former business ' transactions of all Building an! Loan Asso- j elations in this State, provided the decision j holds good. Another said that the decision was in favor of r>oth sides and then kicked both the Build? ing and Loan ?nd Mr. Winn out of court, and ! that an appeal would have to t>e made to the Supreme Court in order to find out what Judge Townsend did decide. And yet auother attorney-a reformer, by j the w?y-said it was the blankedest decision j he had ever heard of and he could not imag? ine what the Judge was thinking of when he rendered such a decision. Another lawyer toughed and said it wa3 queer law that be could not see into. --?^^?- - HURRICANE SIGNAL U. S. DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE, V WEATHER BUREAU, j WASHINGTON, D. C., Decembers, 1894. In addition to the information and storm signals at present in use, by this Bureau, the adoption of an additional wind signal, to be known HS the "Hurricane Signal/' is hereby announced, to take effect January 1, 1895. This signal will consist of two red flags, j with black centers, displayed one above the other, and will be used to announce the ex- ' pected approach of tropical hurricanes, and also of those extremely severe and dangerous storms, which occasionally move across the Lakes and the Northern Atlantic Coast. The flags will be the same as the one now used for the distinctive storm signal, the pennants being omitted. No distinctive night hurricane signal will be displayed, but when ihe signal is ordered during the day and is not lowered or chaoged before dark, the night storm signal will be displayed, the direction to be determined by the informa? tion contained in the message accompanying the order to hoist. Whenever orders to hoist this signal are re? ceived at any Weather Bureau station, every effort will be made by the officials and em? ployees of the service to give the warnings' the widest possible distribution, and all ves? sels will be notified that it is dangerous to leave port. Weather Bureau officials in charge of sta? tions will see that the information contained in these instructions is effectively dissemina? ted among the shipping interests in their re? spective localities.

Singleton : is a son of George Singleton from Bell's Mill plantation. It is alleged thar young Singleton stoie the cow from another colored man named Marcus Muck, and brought the animal to Sumter and sold her to Frank Robinson. He took th? money *nd Started out to have a big time, and pur? chased quite a pile of groceties, dry goods, etc , but he found that, "it was no use." Singleton, the cow, goods and all, were cap? tured. The defendant claims ihm his father gave him the cow to sell. CHILD BURNED. The six-year-old son of Mr. Benni* Pack, wbo lives near Tindal, S. C, was painfully, but not dangerously burned Snnday. The boy was standing with his back to the fire place when his clothing suddenly ignited. He was severely burned on the legs and back. Dr. H M. Stuckey was summoned aod dressed the burns and the boy is doingfwell. Y. M. C. A.

Knigbts of Honor - The K. of H. was organized in June, 1873, and since that time has paid to the widows j and orphans of deceased mininera over forty- j eight millions of dollars. Its plan of opera- j tion is very 3imple, being the assessment plan, | payable once a mooth (the last day of the mooth) to the Financial Reporter. Every j member knows the first of the month how much be has to pay, and consequently can j make provision for its payment. We have been shown a neat folder gotten . up in the interest of the K. of H., showing exactly the cost for two years. Mr. W. F. Rharue, Dictator of Sumter j Lodge, or H. C. Moses, Repor'er. will t.e j pleased* talk '"Knights of Honor" with j anyone. The membership of the order is uo.v i nearly 130 OOO. County Board of Commissioners. Tbe chairmen of the township boards up pointed under the provision of the new Coun? ty Law met Monday at the Judge of Pro? bate's office io response to the call of County Supervisor, W. S. Dinkins, and organized themselves into the County Board of Com? missioners. Thirteen townships out of six? teen were represented. Col. Thoa. V. Walsh was elected clerk of the new County Board of Commissioners. Mr. F. E. Thomas, of Wedgefield, Middleton township, was elected j member of the State Board of Equalization. County Supervisor W. S. Dinkins will be j chairmau of the County Board of Commis-j sioners. * The election of superintendent of County ( Poor House, and physician to Poor House > and County jail was postponed until Jao. 22 j Fire. At one o'clock Friday morning rhe house of M. H. Fields, on Liberty Street, west of the : Catholic Church, was burned. The fire alarm was sounded aod the fire department responded promptly, but as 'he bous? was a ; long distance from the wat'..- maio, the tire department could not save i*. but su ceed^d ; in throwing water upon th- bu:ring build- : ing, and keeping other hi ;.ses from being damaged or burned. Mest >f the furniture and household effects werec stroyed, and the 1 worst of it all, was that Fie ds did not have : a cent of insurance. Lo?? about $1,000 Sumter's brag fire department again proved ; their efficiency and willingness. If Sumter '. had the water mains all over the entire city limits, where the firemen could make close and quick connections with the water hy- : drams, it would be next io impossible fer ? aojr building to hum down, day or night. A Narrow Escape Joe DeLorrue, a colored man, came near being killed on last Friday afternoon. He was working on a building being erected by Levi Bros. for a mule shed, in the rear ot Watchman and Southron office, when the building which was not yet completed, by some means collapsed and tell. DeLorme was caught under the falling timbers and was buried underneath. An alarm was given by his fellow workmen, and immediately near a hundred men responded, and after a few min? utes the man was relieved He appeared not to be dangerously injured, but bis left shoulder and one of his legs are perhaps seriously hurt, and his left temple was very badly bruised and swollen. Poor construction, and hurried ?work was the cause of the collapse of the building The work was being done under the formemans'oip of Beau? regard Davis, a negro workman, who a^so received several bruises. Albert Spears a carpenter bad his right right arm slightly injured by the falling timber. Grading the Streets. The condition of the streets at this time present is a forcible reminder to all way-far ! ing meo, fools and all, that there would be much less mud and more comfort io travel? ing, if the streets were graded so that tbe water would flow into the gutters and not settle in the middle of th? streets, forming mud puddles and slush. There is scarcely a street io the town that is graded properly, having the highest point in the center and a gradual slope toward the gutters on either hand. No, this method of road bedding does not obtain io Sumter but the mud puddle does to the great regret of the traveller. By systematic gradiog of the streets this coodition could be vastly improved at no additional expense, and there would not be aoy necessity either for hauling in so ranch dirt to build up the streets. Grade them as they stand with the present force of street hands. If we cannot have paved streets there is oo good reason for oot makiog the best ef what we have.

UNION FOR PRACTICAL PRO? GRESS. An ??tempt is being manV to organiEe ft brunch of The Union fur PftCiical Progress. A number ul lay citizens and ministers have the matter under advisement. The Union for Practical Progress ia an at'empt to unite the moral forces of society. One of i's methods to secure the simultaneous discussion once euch month of some one definite reform measure, which is proposal by the advisory beard of the Union, com? posed of the leading sociological thinkers of our time. Fa each community where there is a branch Union 'he clergy are invited to preach on the third Sunday of each month j upon the regular monthly topic, and the various labor unions and humanit?ri?n bodies are asked to pass favorable r?solu- | lions. The movement originated in the Evangel? ical Ministers' Union of Baltimore in March. : 1893 During the spring all the ministerial * associations of Philadelphia, the Roman Catholic Archdiocesan Union of Philadelphia, the Central Labcr Federation, and the Knights of Labor connected themselves with the move? ment Local Unions have since then Deen j formed in twenty-five different State3, besides J Canada and England. In February, 1894, a national executive committee was chosen, of ; which Philip Mcxom, D. D., is Chairman and I H. C. Vrooman is Secretary-Treasurer.

The Aldermanic Election. Some interest is now being manifested in the approaching municipal election. It seems to be the opinion of many that a man from ward two should be elected. As the Council now stands, there is one Alderman, Geo. F. Epperson, from ward one; two Alderman from ward four, R. P. Mona? ghan and Bartow Walsh; and Mayor Pierson from wn-d three. Therefore ward two claims the right to have one Alderman, and inasmuch as the late Alderman W. R. Delgar repre sen ted ward two, and the special election is j for a man to take his place on the board of j Aldermen, it is claimed by some voters of j ward two, that a man from that ward should j be elec;ed to represent that ward. It is not known as yet whether a Democrat? ic primary will be held for nomination of an Alderman. No one seems particularly anxious for the position. -- See the World's Fair for Fifteen Cents Upon receipt of your address :ind fifteen cents ii4 postage stamp?, we will mail you pre- j paid <?ur Souvenir Portfolio of the World's 1 .1 Columbian Exposition, the regular price is j Fifty cent?, but as we want you to have one, we make the price nominal.
