' ? W.SPNESDAY, ?10715,1887. Bp The Samier Watchman was founded in 185Q Md the True Southron in 1866. The Watchman and Southron now has the combined circulation and influence jpsf both of the old papers, and ie mani? fest!? the best advertising medium io . 8?mter. Rfc The action of the County Board of Control in requesting the State Board of Control to withhold this city's ?hare of the dispensary profits and to appoint a constable to suppress the ? illicit safe of Kqcor in this city wilt not be sustained- or even given a quasi endorsement by any reasonable man who will carefully consider the ? matter. The fact that the City Coon % eil rented a vacant store in the City Hall building to an original package >' dealer is no just or reasonable cause . ' fer withholding the city's share ; of tfce dispensary profits. The Un? | ted States courts give the original package dealers the right to carry on their bosinea? and they aro protected agaicst interference by the state authorities, therefore the original ? package business is not illegal. There ? are three original package agencies in thia city and the lease of the City Hall store to one of them did not in? duce nor make possible the inaogu ; goration of the competition of. [origi? nal package dealers with the dispen H sarj. Had the, city Council not ren ; ted the vacant store in the City Hall |to the original package agent he would have secured "k?me other store for his agency and the competition g woaldbave been started all the same, l-hia leaves the two other original package dealers altogether out of corj??5eraiiou, and it ia to be pre sumed tbafc they are responsible fibr- not less than their abar? of the competition that burts the dispensary and provokes the County of Control to retaliate in sb so unreasonable a manner. To allege that renting a store to an origins! package dealer is just cause tor withholding the city's share of the d?speuHary profita is preposter?os, and we are surprised that the County . Board of Control should have made the recammendatioQ, and more sur prised ibat the State Board endorsed the recommendation ; The request that a constable be ap? pointed to suppress the illicit sale of liquor io Sumter is fully as unjust to the city of Sumter and is without reasonable excuse, not to say justin* cation by feet?. There is now less illicit traffic in liquor in this city than at any time since, the dispensar j was establish ed. Tbere was more, far more, whiskey sold by blind :jbgers ia Sumter during the palmiest -days of the constabulary, wheo two to Toar were in tho etty the greater part of ?he ?me, than there is at present, and ia this ajeertioD we will be sustained by those who live in this cit; and arc m ooh btfier qualified to give a reliable opin? ion than the Board of Control. As far as we arc able to ascertain the illicit ''sale of liquor is confined toa small ntity sold at night by hip pocket lera who procure their supplies from the dispensary aad the original 'fcage dealers. There are not the in? : ment s to sell liquor that there were fore the original package agencies op?oed and the price of liquor re? ny the dispensary. There is not e profit io it that there on oe was and ose who formerly bought their liquor rom any one rather than the di?pen y. now give their patronage to the rigioai package dealers, and the blind er's occupation is, to a large extent, one. 'A constable could do no mort*, as much, as the police now do, and -the appointment of a constable to sup? press the illicit sale of Irquar in ??mtcr would merely provide a .oft pb for some one who stands in with the dispensary authorities. Tbs Ctiy Council sbooid ose every means within jta power to defeat the recommendation of the Conoty Board of Control. An appeal should be made, on the facts, to the State Board and a bearing demanded. Tbs State Board has no right to confiscate the etty's share of the profits, nor to ota lion i constable here, which is an ad? vertisement to the State at large that the State Board of Control believes the City Council remiss in the disobarge of tts duty, on an ex parte showing. If the profits are to be confiscated, it should not bs done without a full and non-parti? san investigation. 1 i 1 Mrs. M. ft. Ford, Ruddell's, 111., suffered for e gat jews from dyspepsir and chronic constipation and was finally cared by asi og DeWitt's Lfrti* Early Risers, the famous Hi? tit ailis for bli stomach and liver troc?les - Bogasen & Co, When Germany and Rusaia get through dividing China and England and France finish the gobble of ?frica they may be in the humor undertake the job of dividing np the United States, therefore the pension steal most not be curtailed, as the able bodied American patriots, who fight for boodle, might not rally around the old flag to resist foreign aggression. Patriotism must b* fostered at all costs and Congress had better be I very careful what it does. The flood of moral lectures that the people of Augusta have had in? flicted upon them on acconut of the purchase of negro votes in the recent municipal election were tiresome in the extreme, and if any number of the Augusta people read one half of tbe lectures they received more than jest punishment for all their crimes. If the people in Chicago and Smiths Cross Roads would sweep around their own doors they would find less time to worry about election frauds in Augusta If the Cotton Growers Convention that is now in session in Atlanta proves equal to the task of devising a plan to raise the price of cotton, either by bringing about a general reduction in production or taking it out of the power of the speculators to control the price by manipulation, the members will be deserving of greater honor in the South, than the signers of the Declaration of lode pendence Quinine ?md other fe ver medicines take from S to 10 days to cure fever. Johnson's Chill andF?ver Tonic cores in ONE DAY. Are Your Hogs Sick? Hie prevalence of disease among hegt io this 8action leade me to remind oar people that the Department of Agriculture has issued as exhaustive bulletin on Hog Cholera, or Swine Plague. I sent out several thousand copies cf this valuable work to people throughout the District, and interested tome of the druggists io keeping on b*nd the remedien suggested by the Department I will take pleasure ir? ?ending thia Bulletin to any one desir? ing it. The medicine recommended bj the department is a valuable remedy for tbe disease, but it is miso valuable aa a pre? ventative. It would be wise, therefore, to treat hogs that are apparently well It might not be amiss in this con? nection to remind our people also, that the disesse is communicated almost entirely by contact with the diseased animals This renders it of utmost importance tba ; sick amimals be kept apart from other stock, and that the carcases of bogs that have died of the disease, be burned or buried beyond the reach of dogs, birds aod other .cavenger* A dog or a buzzard that has been feeding on a diseased carcass may pass th roo eh or over twenty farms dropping the dis? ease germs as they go. This expiai ce why cholera is found breaking out four and five miles away from any iofcoted farms, wheo there is no visible means of cob tract An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure. I will be glad to tar? nish these bulletins to aoy who desire thom. Address mc at Washington, D. C Deo. 2, T97. J. WM. STOKES Why take Johnson's Chm & Fever Tonic?

Rock Hill, Deo. li.-The 10 pbyn cianii of the city have putin the entire day in the work of vaccinating the citizens. Tho lowest estimare as ro tbe number they have vaccinated is 1.000 The work will continue night and day until completed. There is co appre? hension of a spread, though this precau? tion ie tsken. The ooe case brought here from At? lanta is oarefolly isolated, and the fam? ily quarantined. A letter from Atlanta from a former citizen of this place, who is thoroughly reliable, states that there are many more cases there, and that the local papers are suppressing the extent of the facts The oase here is so mild as to be of j little moment. It is easy to catch a cold and just cs easy i to get rid of it if jon commence early to cse ; One Mioute Cough Cure. It cures coughs, colds, bronchitis, peoeuroooia aod al! throat i and lung troubles, lt is pleasant to take, j safe to ase and sore to cure. J. S. Hogbson k Co.
