The watchman and southron. (Sumter, S.C.) 1881-1930, March 06, 1895, Image 6
WEDNESDAY, MARCH 6,1895.
The Sumter Watchman was founded
io 1850 and the True Southron io 1366.
The Watchman and Southron now h;is
the combined circulation and influence
of both of the old papers, and is mani?
festly the best advertising medium in
Sumter.
EDITORIAL NOTES.
Whathas become of Dr. Samps Pope ?
We are curious to hear his opinion of
the situation.
A negro died io Columbus, Ga.,
yesterday from the effects of eating pea?
nuts and drinking whiskey. Perhaps
be got possession of a flask of O Be X.
The Alabama Populists are getting
ready to raise some sort of mischief.
The harder the times the more the po
jitical field is stirred.
The Youog Men's Business League
is the livest thing that has had its
abode in Charleston since the cyclone.
It is moving Charleston right along
GOT. EV&OS went North with Senator
Tillman, and all with one accord said,
"he bas gone after a wife.** Bot now
he is retarniBg and his fairest compan?
ion is Ben.
The Constitutional Convention is
orowding out the Atlanta Exposition.
This is to be regretted. Public atten?
tion could not be too strongly oeotered
upen the Exposition.
Individual government is playing a
very prominent part in shaping politi?
cal opinion just now. Every maa is
thinking fer himself what is best to do.
Princes, counts and such luxuries
come high, but the American million?
aires must have them. A three million
dollar article, sach as Mis? Gould
acquired, should be of a very fine
brand and warranted to wear well.
The Southern Tobacco Journal has
a very complimentary notice of Sumter
and the advantages the city possesses
for the establishment of a tobacco
market.
The debt statement issued by the
United States Treaeurer shows a de?
crease of the public debt of $34,033,
337. This is gratifying, but rather in?
explicable tn view of the fact that eo
many bonds have been issued recently.
The fifty-third Congress completed its
work yesterday and passed into history.
It began its duties amid great rejoicing
and saoguine expectations, it adjourned
by limitation amid still greater rejoic?
ing that it had run its course and could
disappoiot no more expectations.
The worst feature of the political
situation is the total abseoce of confi?
dence of one faction in the other. The
leaders do not trust each other, nor do
the people as a rule coo fess to any great
amount of confidence io the leaders.
A Catholic riot in some of the impor?
tant countries of Sooth America would
have created no surprise, but in Sa van- j
nab, Ga., it was a shock to the entire
country. We have no doubt the peo?
ple who participated in the riot are now
heartily ashamed of themselves.
Larry Gantt talks as if Spartauburg
county belongs to him in fee simple,
but that does not signify that he is tel?
ling the troth. We recollect when he
talked io the same strain of tue State of
Georgia.
Just as we anticipated, the Railroad
Commission of rock-ribbed, brass lined
and salary drawing reformers, did
nothing for the farmers who demanded
a lower rate on fertilizers. They
simply postponed until too late any
action.
The Senate has passed an act appro?
priating more than $900,000 for the
payment of the French spoliation
claims and nearly $2,000,000 to pay a
claim of the Southern Pacific Railroad.
It must be great fun to be a Senator
and appropriate money in such grand
sums.
Bon. W. L. Wilson is a representa?
tive democrat, and han worked as hard
tor thc country as any man in it, there?
fore his selection as Postmaster General
is peculiarly appropriate. Who will
say :bat President Cleveland bas made
a mistake in this i?stan<*e
Unless Senator Tillman backs down
or wiggles out, i,e and his associates ir?
thc Reform ranks will bare to whip the
[rby faction into compliance with the
terms of ? he compromise. And this
will bc no easy job. [t i^ an even
chance that Tillman will lind some way
out of a ?"ht with ?rbv. while thc com
promiser* will be left with the bag to
to hold.
The demand is stroog for a i
i partisan convention, composed of
I best men of the State, who shall
selected or fitness and not for factic
or partisan reasons, and who si
frame a constitution for the whole p
pie to live ooder aod not an instrum
that will set a part of the white peo
over the others. The demand is fe
wholesome and honest organio h
We want a Constitution that will ins
honesty in elections and purity
ballot, and if the compromise plat
carried out and a convention assemb
that is composed of eighty of the b
men in the Reform faction and eigl
of the best and ablest men in the C<
servative faction we have no doubt
the- result. The demand of the peo
will be heeded, and the Constituti
will be a instrument that we can bc
accept and respect.
Sumter is the center of South Ca
' lina, surrounded by a magnifi?e
farming country that will produoe at
thing and everything that m
actually needs, and a great ma
luxuries Sumter is the natui
trade-center of this district, a
though she may suffer from t
qard times and stand still for a tim
there is no keeping her down. Sumt
is bound to grow and prosper, and nc
is the time for the people of Sumter
show what sort of stuff there is
them. We have fallen amid adver
times, and we will have to do like t!
man who was left with one foot
purgatory-jump out. Inother word
Sumter must, get a hamp on hersei
And in oar opinion the first step is
make that tobacco warehouse a ce
tainty. That will mean not less tba
?40,000 trade for the merchants i
divide between them.
Senator Tillman proposes, or saj
he proposes to use his efforts to cart
out the compromise plan agreed upo
i by himself, Gov. Evans and a coofei
j ence of Conservatives. He says b
will stick to hts previous declaration:
notwithstanding that Senator Irbj
Hon. Stanyarne Wilson and other
have declared their opposition to th
plan. Such is the situation to-daj
and on its race there appears that
bitter fight between Ti H m an and Irb
will be the first result of the compre
mise peace and unity plan. Wbethe
there will be fight between these two c
the Reform triumvirate depends upo;
Senator Tillman. Irby has taken ai
attitude that cannot be mistaken. H
is bent on having his own way in tbi
matter, and his utterances have th
ring of confidence about them tba
leads us to believe that he is satisfied o
infiuental backing.
It is the prevailing sentiment amoo|
the? Stmgbtout democrats of Sumte
County, as far as we have been able t<
learn, that it will be best, under al
conditions, to accept the compromise
j pian developed by the Tillman-Hernp
bill conference. The question ha*
been thoroughly considered and stud?
ied during the past week, and while th?
; opinions of different men vary in some
particulars, it is the general opinion
that it will be the part of wisdom tc
accept the proposed compromise.
All that the most uncompromising
Straightouts ask is that some guarantee
of the good faith of the Reformers be
given, and that the pledge of white
supremacy will not imply that the Con?
stitution will be so constructed in
respect to the suffrage that it will
! necessitate fraud to secure white
! supremacy or will place undue power
I in the bands of the mangers of elec?
tions. These things being guaranteed,
j the compromise will be accepted
j willingly and carried out honestly by
i the Straightout democrats of Sumter
County.
The facts developed Monday in
connection with the registration of
voters for the Constitutional Conven?
tion were not very creditable to those
; who have the duty of carrying out the
j provisions of the law. If it was not
! the intention of the Attorney General
; to have a sufficient supply of affidavits
! prepared for distribution, he should
have given out the form earlier, in
order that a sufficient number might
have been printed by private indivi?
duals. lt wi'.! be argued that thc
means justify inc end, but we greatly
fear that the means used may defeat
thc end sought In our opini< o the
dv.y when such politic-! .-harp practice
can meet with the support and com?
mendation '.<:' public opinion li passed,
and other mean:- ;:;u*; be used th-?r will
accomplish what was the originr.l in?
tention-the protection of the
gence and wealth of tho country
against the rule of the ignorant ;;:;<i
; irresponsible, who bad no besitati >o in
debauching thc laws and burdening thc
I Slate with taxation 1er personal benefit
The registration of unregistered
voters is the question most discussed by
those interested in politics. Since at?
tention bas been directed to Section 7,
of the Act providing for the registra?
tion of voters for the Constitu?
tional Convention, the public appears
to have just awakened to a reali?
zation of what a subtle piece of
political knavery the law calling the
Constitution Convention ip. It is cow
seen that a scheme, and a well devel?
oped scheme it is, is unfolding itself
before our eyes, and we have no means
of knowing or even guessing what may
next come into view.
The opinion is advanced that a con?
vection called under this restricted
form of suffrage will not be legal, and
a Constitution adopted by said Conven
tion will not stand the test of thecourts
If there is the slightest opportunity the
test will be made, and those who are so
overly-anxious to control the convention
will overreach themselves and defeat
their own plans Rascality and knav?
ery are becoming tiresome, and the
people are not; going to put up with it
all the time.
Executive Committee Meeting.
Tbe County Democratic Executive Com?
mittee met Saturday pursuant to tbe call of
chairmen Keels with a quorum present.
The only matter or special interest that
came up for consideration was whether a pri?
mary should be held for the selection of dem?
ocratic delegates to the Constitutional Con?
vention. The advisability of ho.ding a pri?
mary was discussed at some length. .Tbe
Reform members of tbe commits were as a
rule in favor of tbe primary while the Con?
servatives were opposed to any action in re?
ference to the primary being taken at tb id
time. A motion to indefinitely Postpone
action on the primary proposition finally
prevailed.
The registration of voters was made the
special dut? of tbe committee and a plan out?
lined that will promote the fui! registration
of all democrats io tbe county. Certain days
were set apart for tbe various townships and
the registration will be proceeded with io a
systematic manner.
The mejori ty of the members of ?he Com?
mittee are said to bein favor of tbe compro?
mise plan as tbe best and most sensible set?
tlement of the factional differences, and whicb
will at the same time secure an intelligent
and non-partisan convention.
Washington Letter.
. WASHINGTON, March 4, '95
President Cleveland certainly had canse to
be glad when the fall of the gravels of Vice
Presideot Stevenson and Speaker Crisp an?
nounced the legal end of the fifty-third Con?
gress. It is not believed that aoy other
President has ever bad as bard a physical
task imposed upon him as bas been perform?
ed by President Cleveland in tbe last 48
hours of almost continual work of tbe most
wearing sort. Up to Saturday only two of
tbe thirteen regular appropriation bills bad
become laws-an unprecedented state of
affairs-and eight of tberr were still in con?
ference. Since thon they have all been acted
upoD. To get an idea of tbe enormous amount
of work the President had to perform, it must
be remembered that the more important of
these appropriation bills consist of hundreds
of pages of itemized appropriations, and that
President Clevelaod never signs his name to
aoything without knowing just what it is,
although be bad in this case to sign bills
containing items and amendments that were
decidedly objectionable, because the bills con?
taining them could not be vetoed without
making an immediate extra session necessary,
something that be had no desire to do, if it
could possibly be avoided. Later on there
may have to be a extra session of Congress
called, hut there is at present a good propped
of escaping it entirely, unless there shall be
another run on the Treasury for gold.
It is fashionable to abuse Congress, but
when one takes the trouble to go carefully over
the work of the fifty-third Congress, it will
be seen that there is little cause for abuse
from anybody, and none for abuse from j
democrats True, this Congress did not |
meet the expectations of the President as to
financial legislation, but why was it? The
democratic party has always taught that the
first duty of a Senator or Representative was
to represent bis constituents. Well, that is
precisely what the democrats in the Senate
and House of the fifty-third Congress did,
and that is why there was no financial legis- ;
lation. President Cleveland realized this, ,
and he has no word of abuse for Congress- j
men who stood by the views of their consti- j
tuents, although he has not hesitated to ex- i
press the opinion that those views were wrong
and that time would convince those who held
tbem of the fact.
It is not often that members of the opposi?
tion party pay as high a tribute to the abil?
ity and patriotism of a member of the cabinet
as Senators Aldridge, of R. I., and Lodge, of i
Mass., did to Secretary Herbert in their i
speeches in the Senate against a reduction of i
Secretary Herbert's estimates for the Naval '
Appropriation. Secretary Herbert has every i
right to feel proHd of such compliments, de-!
served though they were.
One of the surprises of the last week of
Congress was that Senator Chandler, ("Little
Billy") of N. H., should have dared with his I
record, financial and political, to have at- ?
tacked the honesty of other Senators. It may
have been unparliamentary for Senator Hill,
who gave "Little Billy" a terrible tongue
thrashing, to refer to him as a "hyena", but
its aptness excused its use in that particular .
c?Sf. Senator Marlin after saying that he
had beard it $aid that if Chandier had his de?
serts he would bein the penitentiary instead
of the Senate, referred to Chandler as a "buz- 1
zuni," who sat in the nest of an eagle aud
"vomited forth its filth on every occasion."
While a dispute was going on as to whether
Senator Martin's wordsshould be taken down
h?-said that he would withdraw the objectiona?
ble words from respect to the Senate, but his
withdrawal of them would not cbabge bis be?
lief in their truth.
President Cleveland and Secretary Car?
lisle, who have hei r; for quite awhile two of
the hardest worked officials ol the govern
merit, will this weak start on a. hunt lng and
fishing trip along the Carolina coast. They
have certainly earned a vacation, and every?
body hopes they will enjoy it and return with
renewed strength to their arduous du:les.
Among those who extended congratula?
tions ti) Postmaster Genera! Wilson, who
succeeds Mr. Bisse?!, v.-us General John E
Millford, <>! New York, nuw visiting !.:.- old

CRUSHED BY THE WHEELS.
Clayton Atkins, colored, who was for- ,
merle cook on the Charleston, Sumter ano 1
Northern material trai' and lost his job along
with the other employees, lost his life inst Fri- ?
day night while under the infiuenee of liquor. ?
He boarded the A. C. L., leaving here m 5 50
p. m., and attempted to'jump off just before '?
the C. S. & N. Junction WHS reached. Being j
drunk he was unable to manage himself and :
was thrown under the wheels. Both legs :
were crushed and mangled from the knees
down, and it was seen at once that the in- j
juries were mortal.
The train was brought to a stop and '
Atkins was taken from under the wheels j
and Dr. A. J. China, the railroad physician, !
sent for at ooce. Everything waa done to;
alleviate the suffering man, but the injuries i
were heyond mortal aid, and he died within ?
and hour.
No blame can attach to the railroad, as j
Atkins came to bis death from his own ?
careless.JOSS, and this was due to the fact j
that he was drunk and no: responsible for ;
bis own conduct
The Coroner impanelled a jury of inquest ;
Saturday morning and after hearing the evi
dence a verdict in accordance witn the facts :
above was rendered.
Commissioners' Meet.
The Board of County Commissioners met
in monthly session on the 1st with fourteen
members pre.<ent. The business of the meet
ing was principally routine in character, and
only a few things were of general interest.
The bond of Auditor A. B. Stuckey was
presented to the Board fur approval. After
examination the hood was approved withouj
hesitation. The bond is for the sum of $5
000 and is signed by T. S. Stuckey, R. U,
Purdy, J. W. Stuckey, Jr., 0. C. Scarbor
augh, A. C. Durant, j. F. Woodward, and
Henry Woodwaid.
Treasurer Keels made his report for the
month ending February 15th. The amount
of money on band collected under the 3t mill
levy for couoty purposes was $1,629 42.
Under the authority vested in the Board
it was decided to borrow $4,000 from the
Simonds National Bauk for the purpose of
paying court expenses for the 6scal year.
A resolution was adopted that a causeway
and bridge be built in Hope Swamp on the
line between Shiloh and May es ville town?
ships.
Wash Howard, colored, was admitted to
poor house. Drayton Deuuis, white, wife
and six children were admitted to tbe poor
house. This family is said to be in the most
object condition of destitution. The father is
au invalid and the remainder of the family
are dirt-eaters.
There are now thirty-one persons in the
poor boase.
K. OF P- NOTES.
District Deputy Grand Chancellor, J. C. C.
Levy, of District No 7, and a member of
Capital Lodge No. 10, K. of P., of Columbia,
was io Sumter on Saturday, returning from
"Elloree, S. C.," (Harlin City) where be
went to make preparation for the institution
of a new K. of P. lodge. He said that it was
the desire of Grand Chancellor Bacon to pay
a visit to Game Cock Lodge No. 17, of Sum?
ter while on the Elloree trip. It is proposed
that the institution of Elloree lodge take
place on Tuesday, March 19tb, or the follow?
ing Tuesday, March 26th, and that Grand
Chancellor Bacon and District Deputy G. C.,
J. CC. Levy come over to Sumter on tbe
Monday night previous, and as the Amplified
Third is to be conferred about that time,
these two officials could visit Garn? Cock
Lodge No. 17, aDd see the lodge work the
Amplified Third, and then go to Elloree the
next day (Tuesday.)
Mr. Levy said that it was desired that as
many Sumter Knight3 as possible will go
with the Grand Chancellor ^nd District De?
puty Grand Chancellor, to asist in the insti?
tution of the El loree lodge and that if the
Sumter Knights will go ti--* will be enter?

nect with the North bound train at Vanees,
due at Sumter at 10.32 a. m. Only a part of

convention, or to District Deputy Grand
Chancellor H. F. Wilson, of District No. 6,

Lunarios.
Mary Judge, a negro girl sixteen vears old,
wa-: co mm it ted tu jail M ou day by the Pro
hn'c Judge to aw^it examination for lunacy.
.She is very violent at times and attempts to
kill he-r parents when in afreozv. Under the
present svstem the pipers must be made out
by the Probate Judge, giving all the facts
relating to the lunatic, and forwarded to the
Sn yerin tendent of the Asylum. The Superin?
tendent examines the papers f>nd decides
whether the lunatic can be ndmitted to the
Asylum He returns the papers to the Pro
hate Judge with bis endorsement, and if he
decides tba,t the person is to be admitted, be
orders that an examination he made by physi?
cians, in the meantime the lunatic mus*
remain either in the county jail orin the
custody of friends. The requirements for
admission to the Asylum are very rigid and
prevents the imposition on the State of harm?
less imbeciles or the incarceration and support
by the State of persons who are abie to pay
for the attention they require.
Under the provision of section 14 of the law
recently adopted. Superintendent Babcock
has sent a list of the lunatics from Sumter
County to Probate Judge Walsh, with in?
structions to make a thorough ivestigation of
the financial condition of the patients and
the amount of property owned by their fara
iles. This will be done in order that the
State may he relieved of the burden of sup?
porting all lunatics who hsve sufficient pro?
perty topay for their support or who have
relatives who are aide to pay for their sup?
port in the Asylum. At present there are
only three pay patients.in the Asylum from
this conty. If it is found that there are oth?
ers whose estate or family are liable for their
support the Regents are empowered by section
14 u> enter suit against those parties for past
maintenance.
During Sunday night tbe chicken house of
Mr Perry Moses was robbed of a num?
ber of turkeys, and hens. Monday morning
a colored man named Perry Williams
had some chickens ?nd turkeys for sale ;
and Mr J. J. Harby, son of Mr. Moses, seeing j
the fowls in the possession of Perry Williams j
recognized them as his father's and without!
exciting the suspicion of tbe chicken thief, i
bargained with bim for, and purchased three j
turkeys and seveB hen J. Mr. Harby sent the j
thief off to get some money changed and I
hunting up Assistant Chief A. H. Weeks bad
Williams arrested and locked up in the j
the city guard house. Williams is an ac- j
comp ished rogue, it is said, be having j
already served two terms in the Penitentiary,
and be is no doubt good for another term.
Twenty-four head in all were taken from
Mr. Moses, and were stolen from bis farm
and brought into town for sale by Williams.
Efforts are being made to recover all of tbe
Stolen fowls.
Hr. C. W. Kingman also bad stolen from
bim during Suuday night two turkeys and
several hens, and it is supposed that Williams
also knows something about the Kingman
chicken stealing.

MOSEY LOANED.
Do you want ?o borrow money on equita?
ble terms?
Do you desire to pay off a mortgg.ge and
re-borrow the money at 5 per cent, interest
annually ?
Would you care to be so situated that you
could reduce the mortgage against your
home by paying off a small amouot monthly
and at the end of each year receive credit for
all paid? With interest being charg? only
on remaining portion of loan.
Would yon like to buy your family a home?
If so read the following :
I represent a Company that has embodied
in its plan all the features enumerated above
and ronny more. Can you see *nr reason
why you should pay a large interest for
money when you have good security? Can
you present any good reason wby it is not as
well to receive profits yearly as to wait from
7 to 10 years us one does in roany of the
Associations? Is not the reduction of
interest yearly better than waiting many
years tor profits? Borrowers under the plan
represented by me assume absolutely no risk
as every dollar paid on the loan is credited
on the mortgage, thereby reducing it in pro?
portion to tbe amouot paid.
Building Associations have benefitted
hundreds of thousands, so did the old cars
that were propelled by horses. Our plan is as
far superior to Building Associations as tbe
trolley cars are to the old antiquated horse
car system. My time is too much occupied
to answer questions for the curious, bot those
seeking information for the betterment of
their condition will receive full irformatioo
promptly. We offer an investment to those
who have a small amount to save monthly
that bas no superior as to safety and seldom
equaled for profits. Call or write.
