A New Declaration of
American Principles.
Senator Hoar Introduces Res
Gluttons.
Washington, Dec 20.-Senator
Eoar, of Massachusetts, today intro?
duced tho following resolution in the
senate ;
Whereas the American people and
the several States in the Union have io
times past, at important periods in
their history, especially wheo declaring
their independence, establishing their
constitutions, or undertaking new and
great responsibilities, seen fit to declare
the purposes for which the nation or
State was founded, and the important
objects the people intend to pursue tn
their political action ; aod
Whereas the close of a great war,
the liberation by the United States of
the people of Coba and Poerto Etoo io
the western hemisphere aod of the
Philippine islands in the Far East, and j
the reduction of those peoples to a
condition of practical dependence upon
the United States constitute an occasion
which makes such a declaration proper ;
therefore, be it
Resolved, That this republic adheres
- to the doctrines which were in the pa&t
set forth in the declaration of inde?
pendence, aod in its national and State
constitutions.
That the purpose of its existence and
the objects to which its political action
ought to be directed are the enoobliog
of humanity, the raising from the dust
its humblest and coarsest member and
the enabling of persons coming lawfully
under its power or influence to live io
freedom and in honor, under govern?
ments whose forms they are to have a
share in determining aod io whose
administration they have an equal
voice. Its most important and pressing I
obligations are :
1. To solve the difficult problem
presented by the presence of different
races oo oar own soil with equal coosti
tuticnal rights. To make the Degro
safe ia his home, secure in his vote,
equal io bis opportunity for education
and employment ; and to bring the j
Indian to civilization and to culture ic !
accordance with his need and capacity.
2. To enable great cities to govern
themselves in freedom, in honer and m
purity.
3. Tc make the ballot box as pure as
& sacramental vessel, and the election
return as perfectly in accord with the
law and the trath as tbe judgment o??
the supreme, court.
4. To banish illiteracy and ignorance
from tHe lard.
5. To secure for every workman ?nd
for every working woman wages enough
to ?upport a life of comfort, and an old
age of bisure and quiet as bs?ts those
who have an equal share io a sdf
goverotng S:a*e.
6 To urow ard expand ever the
continent, and over the inlands of tee i
sea. just so fast ar.i no fas^r, as we

TH? SMALLPOX WAR.
According to the Florence Times
Dr Evans says that the smallpox
situation still affords abundant occu
pation for the officiais of the State
board of health. He kept the wires
pretty warm yesterday in this mat
ter. The people of George's have
been suddeiy panic stricken over the
development of the infection there
and were impatient at the delay
necessary in securing a ph;, s'cian to j
take charge. He failed in his at- j
tempt? to get loci! physicians to I
look after the matter and finally was ?
obliged to get a physician to go up |
from Charleston
There have bs?n a number of cases j
reported from Summerton that have j
recently broken out. He bas had j
trouble in getting local physicians to
take charges of cases in other towns !
than George's sud the people are ob j
jecting to vaccination and in many j
w?ys making the lot ofthe physician |
in charge a narc one.
Ile h?s just received nurnbr-r j
of commissions from ihn governor |
appointing special hea't?i officers j
with power to vaccinai* or imprison j
and exile parties who will not Le i

An Itallian Town
Falls Into The Sea.
Huge Rock, With Hotel?,
Monastery and Villas
Rome, Dec 22.-A terrible disaster
took place this afternoon at Amalfi,
the popular tourist resort on the
Gulf of Salerno. About 2 o'clock
an enorme is rock on which stood the
Capuccini hotel slid bodily into the
sea with a deafening roar and without
amomeot's warning, carrying with
it the hotel, the old Capuchin monas
tery below, the Hotel Santa Calerina
and several villas
Many persons were buried in tbe
debris, which crushed four vessels to
the bottom of the sei., destroying
their crews The mass of earth
which slipped was about 50,000 cubic
yards
The population is in a state of ter?
ror, fearing fresh calamities. Troops
have arrived upon the scene and
begun rescue work.
lt is believed that the loss of life
is heavy, including a number of
monks and the occupants of the
hotel As yet, ;t is impossible to
ascertain the exact number.
Amalfi is a small but lively town
of 7,000 inhabitants, situated at the
entrance of a deep ravine surround
ed by imposing mountains and rocks
of the most picturesque forms- 1 The
Capuchin monastery was found?
ed in 1212 by Cardinal Pietro Capua?
no for the Cistercians, but came into
possession of the Capuchins in 1583
The building which stood in the
hollow of the great rock that rose
abruptly from the sea to a height of
230 feet contained fine cloisters.
Mormons in Hampton.
Charleston, Dec 21. - Mormon
elders, two at a time, seven years
ago began to visit she great 6wamp
section of Hampton county near the
seacoast of this State and made many
converts among the Baptist back?
woodsmen near Ridgeland They
now have so large a following that
they have established a church at
which eight Mormon elders were at
work several weeks ago. The dele
gation to the State legislature has
been asked by the orthodox people
of Hamptou county to work for a
law to extirpate thc elders, and say
that "prompt ieg'-slatiou ^may save
them from having the mob violence
that 60S>e sister States have ia-ely
bed in trying to rid themselves of
these disgraceful parasites "

MR. EDITOR :
You may have had us in mind when referring in a recent
issue of your paper to the peculiarity of merchants in regard
to advertising, in which you quoted them as saying that "in
good times it was not necessary to advertise, and in hard times
it did not pay." While we have always found that advertising
paid us, we must confess that for the past sixty days any in?
crease of business that we might secure by that means, could
not have been satisfactorily waited on, as our clerical force has
been taxed to its utmost capacity.
Now that the rush of cotton is over and we have an
opportunity to say a few words to our friends in the country,
we desire to acknowledge, through the columns of thc Watch?
man and Southron, our grateful thanks to them for the liberal
patronage bestowed upon us, for which we can offer nothing in
return except our promise that their interests will be as care?
fully guarded by us in the future as they have been in the past.
It is particularly gratifying to us toTacknowledge a very
liberal trade during the months of September and October from
our farming friends, to whom it was our pleasure to extend a
credit during the summer. It proves to us that they appreciate
our endeavor to be just and reasonable with them, when they
need assistance, as we have always tried to be-our motto
being
LIVE AND LET LIVE
Although we tried to anticipate this season's wants by
buying a heavier stock than ever before, our trade has so far
exceeded our expectations, that we have been obliged to re?
plenish frequently and freely every department of our store.
In Pry ?*-o?d?
We bought a very heavy stock of staples, a fair percentage
of which we still have on hand and are selling at old prices,
Those
I Ti
! Which you have been waiting for so long have come at
I last. It was not our fault that they were not here sooner as
j our contracts were made iii May for September deliver}', but
j the mill has been so crowded with orders it was impossible to
deliver them sooner. These goods are made in
A Southern Mill.
From Southern Wool,
By Southern Men
j and there are none better. They are improving on the finish
! every year. We are selling at the same price as last year: but
I if we have to duplicate we will be obliged to charge an advance,
j We only have about
FIFTY PAIRS,
j so don't put oil* buying, or you may get left.
ci
Wiiy the advance in cotton should have affected the price of
shoes, but strange to say they too have gone up. We don''1"
know whether it was judgment or luck, but our purchases for
Fall were nearly double our usual contracts. We are buying
now for Spring and paying 10 to l-> per cent more for the same
class of goods, but those oa hand will go at the old prices while
th ev last.
In our write-up about Shoes last Fall we had something spe?
cial to sav about
rn*
The H. 0. Godman Line for Women and Children.
Our increased sales for these goods prove that we toid the truth.
Bear in mind we are still the Sou-: AGENTS rou THEM AND
Gl'AliAXTEE EVERY PAIK.
THE L. M. REYNOLDS LINE OF MEN'S SHOES, sold
exclusively by us. are trade-winners. The prices range from
?SI.75 to S3.50, and every pair warranted. If you want the
