WEDNESDAY, AUG 24, 1898.
The Sumter Watchman was rouodeo

The Watchman and Southron now has
the combined circulation and. inflaenoe

Sam ter
Secretary Alger bas written a letter
to Chauncey M. Depew In answer to
a request for information concerning
the work of the War Department for
the past three months. The letter
goes somewhat into detail, and shows
the tremendous demands which were
made, and the way in which they
were met ; bot there is nothing new
in anything he has written. The
facts have been newspaper property
al! along, and amplified to the great?
est possible extent. After reading
we can only say, "chestnuts."
THE PUBLIC HEALTH.
We publish in this issue a com muni
fig cation from members of the County
Medical Association, which deserves
thoughtful consideration of our read*
ere.
Statistics will show that increasing
-" ' attention is being given in other
. States to sanitary matters : their im
portan ce cannot be overestimated.
Sou ih Carolina has, so far, rendered
bot little assistance in a financial way
to the State Board of Health, and it
is time for an awakening along these
linea. Good health means prosperi
ty ; immunity from contagious or
epidemic diseases is a most essential
condition. Let a town become in?
fected with smallpox, or yellow fever,
or other dangerous diseases, and it
means disaster to all its business in
terests. Everything and everybody
sagers Oar recent experience ought
to be sufficient to impress that fact
upon everybody.
The cities and towns are handicap
I ped in their straggle for good health,
by the fact that ic country, districts
where there are no boards of health
no laws controlling such matters-the
disess-e spreads, and is likely to come
back into the towns, entailing addi?
tional loss and difficulty. Nor are
the towns more vitally interested
iban the country. Oar interests are
?so interwoven, atfd dependent the
oneon the other, that a blow to one
injures both. r
An intelligent preparation to meet
emergencies is just as necessary in
the country as in the town The next
Legislature will be confronted with
this matter, and we desire to set the
people to thinking and acting. In
time of peace prepare for war
CONCESSIONS TO SOUTH CAR?
OLINA.
The efforts that have been made to
recruit the soldiers required under
the President's call have certainly
been appreciated, and every assist?
ance and concession possible has
been granted, which promised to
eliminate the difficulties which have
been encountered The latest con?
cession is that the number to each
company has been reduced from 106
to 80 men Extension of time and
every official act proves conclusively
that there is no disposition to dis
criminate except in our favor
The offijers engaged in the task of
filling tte second South Carolina
Regiment are gratified and encour
aged.
Since the foregoing was in type,
the regiment has been completed as
propased. and it was mustered io
yesterday-12 companies, with 80
men each
While these are mustering in, some
regiments are preparing to go out of
service This latter fact should not
deter any, for there will be need of
many men ou garrison duty in Cuba, j
Porto Rico aud the Philippines.
Those who desire it caa see service
of this kind, though actual fighting
is probably at an end We are de?
lighted at the prospect that after ali
we will not be accounted as having
failed in duty.
The ttev. W. B. Croetley, of Stockbridge
Ga., while attending to his pastoral duties at
Edenwood, that state, was attacked by chol?
era morbos. He says: "By chance I hap?
pened to get hold of a bottle of Chare berlain's
Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy, and
I think it. was the means of saving my life.
It relieved me at once." For sale by A. J.

GET BID OP THE IDLERS.
A ny one who notices tbe crowds of
idlers that throng the Magistrate's or
Major's court when any little case is
to be heard mast be impressed with
the fact that herein lies a potent
cause of poverty and fruitful source
of crime
The old saw that "an idle brain is
the devil's workshop," is as true to?
day as ever it was.
Human minds must be engaged,
if not with that which is useful and
good, then with tb at which is harm?
ful and evil. The man or woman who
has the strength or capacity for work
in any legitimate field of labor, is in
duty bound lo exert himself or her?
self ; otherwise, there is one more {
I droue in the great hive of humanity; |
j one more obstacle to prosperity ;
! one more leech on society ; one mora
; barnacle on the ship of State.
The number of these is large al?
ready and increasing, with a gradual,
steady increase, until among the ne?
gro population at least it is serious.
Not only are the idle and indolent
men drones, and therefore in a nega?
tive sense, a hindrance to material
progress by reason of the dead
weight, so to speak, which they rep?
resent, but their brains are the hatch
ing ground of vice and crimes, their
hands the ready instrument in the ac
complishment of evil of ail sort.
Of course to any one may come,
nay is almost bound to come, now
and then, a short season of idleness ;
but there is no reason why any with
health and strength. should be perma?
nently unemployed. There is some?
thing for every one to do It may
not be that to which preference leads
us ; it may be even distasteful, but
every man owes il to himself, to his
family, to his fellowmen, to be en
gaged in useful employment from
which be can get his daily bread in a
manly, honorable way.
Idleness should be frowned upon as
a crime. It is a crime, punishable
under the statutes of the state. The
sooner the land is rid of idlers, the
sooner will we begin to prosper
WiH They Go to Cuba?
T. B Lcmpkin, the correspondent
of The News and Courier, writing
from Camp Coba Libre, Fla., says :
"The camp is very much worked np
over a report in (he Jacksonville morn?
ing papers that (be 7tb army corps
would go to Cuba, bot if any regiment
now io it did not want to go they would
be left ont and returned to their State.
and other regiments would take their
places Tbe enlisted men in a great
many of the regiments at once proceed
ed to get np petitions by companies, j
asking that tDey be released from far?
ther service, as hostilities had ceased,
and that their motives for volunteering
were dimply for protection in time of
war, and to defend the hooor and dig?
nity of our Government against a hos
tile foe.
ANOTHER EXAMINATION.
The First South Carolina volunteer
infantry lacks less than one hundred
men now of being complete, with ! 239
enlisted men. But an order bas been
reeeived to get up a list of ali men
in each company who eeetn to
be physically unable to. e'and the
army life, and they will be examined,
aod if found to be unfit for tbe hardships
which they will be ?ubjeeted to they
will be discharged at once and sent
borne So far about 125 names have
been sent up from oar regiment
Toes? men will be put through a rigid
examination before any final action is
taken
That was a notable warning which
was sounded by the Hon John Sherman
in bis speech at Wooster, Ohio, on
Thursday, and some future Gibbon will
doubtless have ocoasion to refer to it.
He 6aid in part: "The vast exteot and
compass of our country should satisfy
our people and prevent (bern from ex?
tending their domains to distant lands,
possessions difficult to control and im?
possible to defend I regret to notice
a disposition in Congress to reach oat
for outside territory This ambition
I for the occupation of territory bas been
the ruin of Greece, Home and the great
nations of Asia in ancient times, and of
Spain, Austria and Italy in modern
times. And now the United States is
io more danger from similar causes
than ail others combined. The greed
of territory and the attempt to rule it
lost Great Britain tbe great body of
what is oow the United States of Amer?
ica."
It is a suggestive deliverance and
Mr. Sherman has a nell earned repu?
tation as a statesman. He is a "back
number" in his party and ??eotion now,
however, and haply his thoughtful
speech will make no impression on them.

Washington Letter.
Washington, August 22 -"Let
Admiral Dewey dictate our policy to
wards the Philippine islands " That
is the sum and substance of the ad
vice that some of the most level-head?
ed friends, who have observed the
fact that Dewey bas not made a sin?
gle mistake from the day he destroy?
ed the Spanish fleet to tbe day he
forced the surrender of Manila, have
been giving Mr. McKinley, who ap?
parently is still without a policy of
his own. It bas been urged upon
him that Dewey during the nearly
four months he has been in Manila
bay, bas thoroughly familiarized him?
self with the condition of the islands,
and would be better able than any man
who is not there, to say what rela?
tions we onght to maintain towards
them It has also been pointed out
to him that the public confidence in
Dewey's judgment and patriotism
would cause bis decision to be re?
ceived without question by the peo
pie. All of these things Mr. McKin?
ley has acknowledged, and he would
doubtless be glad to adopt and act
upon the advice were it not that some
! of bis political advisers have aroused
his jealousy of Admiral Dewey as a
possible rival in 1900, and told bim
that Dewey must be kept in the back?
ground if he wanted to keep him out
of the White House.
Not satified with reducing the sal?
ary of a man who was at one time
considered competent to fil! the posi?
tion of chief clerk, the civil service
commission has dismissed the man for
criticism of his superiors in ofiBce
an awfnl crime, in the minds of his
superiors. The aforesaid criticism
consisted of sn answer made by the
clerk-E. D. Bailey-to public de?
famation of himself by the commis
sion. The commission has never for?
given Bailey for having exposed
some of its humbuggery when a wit
ness before a Senate committee, and
has probably wasted much time,
highly paid for by the people's mon?
ey, in scheming how to humbie him,
or push him out of office, without
seeming to be actuated by any other
desire than the good of the service,
only to make a fizzle of it at last
Bailey may have deserved dismissal
-many think the whole civil service
outfit does-but he should have been
given a proper cause for his discharge
and it should have been so entered
on the record.
Gen Bianco is showing a disposi?
tion to take advantage of the pnb
lished disinclination of the adminis?
tration to send an army of occupa
tion to Coba before cool weather, to
carry things with a high hand at
Havana, and to prejudice the rabble
against the U. S. Bianco's intention
to make further trouble for us is so
plain that it is worrying the adminis?
tration no little, and demands that
Blanco be peremptorily called down
are reaching Mr. McKinley from ali
sections of the country
That there is no limit to Spanish
gall was shown by the unofficial ob?
jection made by the government of
Spain to the selection of Senator
Davis, of Minn , Chairman of the
Senate Committee on foreign rela?
tions, to be one of the American
Peace Commissioners, because his
anti-Spanish views were too strong
and too well known. Were suoh an
objection held to be valid, Mr. Mc
Kinley would have to choose for
Peace Commissioners such men as
Senator Wellington, of Maryland,
and Senator Hale, of Maine, about
the only two Senators who made
their friendliness towards Spain con?
spicuous during the debate which
preceded the war It will be all up
with Mr McKinley if every one of
the five Peace Commissioners chosen
bv him. are not known to be strongrlv
anti Spanish lu their views. Al?
ready there has been some criticism
of the selection of Secretary Day,
for that v.ery reason, but it has re?
mained within bounds for it is known
that Mr Day will advance the opin?
ions of Mr McKinley, and not his
own, when the Peace Commission
meets
Another exhibition of Spanish gall,
which was probably put out for a
feeler, was the attempt of Sagasta to
appear to take it for granted that the
Spanish Ambassador at Paris would
be the presiding officer at the delib?
erations of the Peace Commission.
His talk merely caused a smile in
Washington As the victorious pow?
er, the ? 8. has the right, not only
to name the presiding officer, if such
be needed, but to insist that its Com?
missioners take precedence in every
way over those of Spain, and Mr.
McKinley is not likely to waive those
rights ; he knows too weil how such
waivers would De received in this
country. Already there is a grow?
ing impression that we have been en?
tirely too lenieut in ali our dealings
with the Spaniards, and the people ?
are apt to call a speedy halt before
the thing goes much further.
Farmers, Break tho Buggy Monop?
oly.
It id claimed that for years buggy manu?
facturers have secured exorbitant prices for
their goods, but recently, through the com-!
bined assistance of the farmers of Iowa, Uli- {
neis and other States, Sear?, Roebuck & Co., !
of Chicago, have got the price of open bug- '
gie9do*uto $16 50; top buggies, $22.75;:

The n eeting at Shiloh last week was rot
largely attended. Th? threatening weather
preveo'ed mao/ from going who would
otherwise have been present About fifty
voters and twenty-fire or thirty candidates
made up tbs crowd. Dr. T R. McElveen
presided, and ererything passed off quietly
with no special features to mark the occa?
sion.
Hon Richard I. Manning and Hon. Alta?
mont Moses, candidates for tbe cffice of S ate
senator were tbe first speakers. Mr. Manning
spoke of the crime and unhappiness caused
by the liquor traffic, and declared himself
ready to advance tb? caufe of temperance
and sobriety, should opportunity offer. He
dwelt upon the dispensary law as a great im
proteaeoi over the barrooms. He favors all
educational enterprises and would hare tbe
common schools enlarged and improved.
He alluded to bis past record as a legislator,
and answered criticisms ot bis Australian
Ballot Bill.
Mr. Moses gave ae account of bis work in
the Senate and asserted that he bad saved to
j the State tbe sum of fifteen thousand dollars
a year on public printing. Though opposed
ai first to the dispensary, be now favored it,
for the great work it had accomplished in de?
creasing crime, and would acpport it until
some better way of restricting tbe evilsbou d
be propose!. Supported all educational in?
stitutions He explained and defended hi?
vote io favor of Lee County.
Candidates for tb ? House of Representa?
tives followed. Mr. D. M. Yoong declared
himself a prohibitionist, Out must be satisfied
that prohibition will probbit. Fe wants tbe
standard raised in tbe schools, \od better
booses and thorough teachers.
Col. J. Harvey Wilson expiainc! his Lee
county vote, and favors the dispensary.
Mr. E. C. Qaynsworth bad never favored
tbe dispensary, and wants prohibition. Be?
lieves in maintaining the State colleges in an
economical manner.
Mr. W. A. Nettlts favors the dispensary as
the best solution of the liquor question, and
wants better common schools.
Mr. A. K. Sanders thinks the dispensary
the best solution, and ail good citizens
should give it a fare test. The State is
spending too much money on tbe colleges and
not enongb on comtsoo schools.
Mr. McDonald Furman advocates tbe dis?
pensary, but wants to sea it self-sustaining.
He is a friend of education but thinks Clem?
son College too expensive.
Afr. J. A. M. Carraway favors both the dis?
pensary and prohibition. Had always want?
ed the liquor traffic restricted. He exp'aued
his apparent inconsistent position. As to
the state colleges h; favored their continu?
ance but not as managed at present.
Mr. E. D. Smith made a strong speech; ex?
plained his position on educational questions
and declared for prohibition, which he discuss?
ed at lengtb
Candidates for Congress were next in order.
Mr. Brantley discussed national questions in
a fine speech.
Congressman Stokes followed, but the
crowd had gradually decreased until very
few remained to listen.
About four o'clock the rain scattered tbe
remaining few, and many candidaies did not
have an opportunity to speak.
