2DDÎTORÏAL NOTES.

The Compliments of tbe season.

Gov. Tîïïman has vetoed the tax ex-

tension bill. This waa what was ex-

pected after he took the matter into bisbands and extended tbe time to Janu-ary 1st.The Watchman and Sonthron extends

I''S since rest congratulations to all the

newiy married, and its beet--wishes to

teosa-who will be sobjecri fox-congratu--lation in the near future. ·.....

James.G. Biabe is at deaths door,and bis family have ceased: tryicg to

conceal bis .condition from the public.He bas BrigbtVo^sease and bis death is|but-a question ottime. 7

Tbe Senate still says "lead us .not

into, temptation." It killed tbe billrepealing tbe an ti free pass law in shortorder, and this we take as evidence thatit fears the seductive influence of Pass3*0. ì:

Tbe property left by Jay Gould hasincreased in value about $16,00û,000mee bis death. People were-afraid to«rrest in stocks which he controlled, for30 one knew at what time it might seithis purpose to depreciate them in value.

Tbe Southern Associated Press paidPresident-elect G rover Cleveland a visitlast week, and they did not talk politice

.at all. The editors are about as wellbehaved set, when they try, as you can

find.« Gov. Tiliman is right in objecting to

the custom of fixing one time for tbe pay-ment of taxes and then annually extend-

ing tbe time. With Gov. Tillman we

: say, let ns have a time a time fixed that jwill suit both the State and the taxpay-ers and then bave no more extensions.

It would not have been a bad idea fortbe Reformers to. have incorporated intheir Railroad bill a provision prohibit-ing tbe issuing of free passes by. the

rrailroads, and attached that prerogativeto the other duties of tbe commission- Jere. There is no ose io leaviog thislone privilege to the railroads.

Prohibition suffered more at tbebands of its pretended Friends thanfrom the opposition of its enemies.They landed tbe question safely in tbehaven towards which tbey seem to bavebeen steering it from the first of tbe

e -session.in tbe Senatorial pigeon-bole.This does not kill it, however.

It.is worthy of note that SumterV"Representatives in the Legislature all« iave large families.they have tbirty-i j£Îgbt children between them.and all

successful business men. Hie Excel-

je lency, Governor Tillman may now talkabout driftwood as much as be pleaseswithout ruffling, in the least, tbe backfeather's of tbe Sumter rooster.

We are in receipt of a letter fromthe proprietor of a first class foundry

.

- mod machine shop, who wishes to locateí ia this city. This is what we want inSumter.more creative industries.

Every enterprise that can be establishedhere enhances tbe value of property and

! increases the wealth of the place, andovery eoccoragement should be extend-ed to them, i

"Suit bas/been brought ag»iost~N>>r0ooxaJe8, editor of The State for crimi-nal libel for tbe publication of the pro-,ceedrage of tbe recent court in Baro -

w*&, in which were stated facta detri-mental to G. YV\ M WiHiame, Esq. Itseems that Williams had in his poeses-

" sion money which he bad collected for a

elient and failed to turn over, and

Judge Hodeon issued an order requir-ing Williame to account for the moneyor go to jail. If this is libel we are ailín danger of a suit.

Two Mormon missionaries are at

work in Privateer township, this coun-

ty, and the adjacent toweship in Clar-endon county. These are the kind of

people that we do not need, and while

we would not be understood as advisingviolence, we suggest that the goodpeople of that section make it koowo,in no uncertain manner, to the Mor-mon s that tbey are cot wanted and hadbetter depart. They are more dauger-ous to American institutions than the

Chinese against whom such stringenlaws have been passed, and their doc-

trinee are just as pernicious.Tbe writer was informed severd days

ago, when in Columbia, by severalReform Legislators, that R«v J. A.

Sligh and Mr. H. R Thomas were

certain of election as Railroad Com-missioners, with an open raoe for the

third place. This means that those

mentioned are backed by the GideouBand of the administration. This is

somewhat peculiar in oue particularepecially, as we have it straight that the

railroad officials are very desirous of

the retention of Mr. Thomas What

does it mean when the Administrationand the railroads favor tbe same can-

didate, the one openly and the othercovertly.We copy from the Freevian an

official communication from the secre-

tary of Suinter L«dge I. O. G.

explanatory of the action of tbe called

meeting aud the reeolotione adoped byit. There seems to have been a differ-ence of opinion or a misunderstandingbetween some of the Good Templars, in

regard to this matter and we are glad to

see that they hfevc straightened out the

tangle and everything is serene again.The remaaks made by us last week

fere bused upon information volunte cd

by Good Templare io regolar staudingib Sa ter Lodge, and we bad no ideathat onr remarks would further com-

plicate matters, nor that anyone wouldimagine that we desired to reflect uponthe motives of those who were instru-mental in formulating tbe resolutions.The worst that could be said was thatthe resolutions were inconsiderate andto this we adhere.

A NEW CITY HALL.

Tbe Cry Council has decided to

build a City Hall that will be an orna-

ment to tbe city to replace the buildingburned on the Oth instant.A bill bas been introduced in the

Legislatore granting Coonoil the powerto issue bonds for that purpose, and tbematter js to. be pushed forward withoutdelay. -v.

This is the spirit we like to seel, andCouncil can rest assured of tbe supportand co-operation of áll of ^Sumter's pro-gressive citile os.Tbe destruction of tbc old bail is a

blessing,, for it ; has been for years a

menace to tbe business portion of tbe

eity, and tbe insurance rates in the

vicinity bave been bigb on that account.

The new City Hall with stores on the

fjrst floor; : and an opera bouse andoffices -above; will pay the interest on

tbe bonds necessary to erect it, andthere is no reasonable objection to tbeeater prise.A MEEBY CHRISTMAS, .EVERY

ONE.

In wishing our readers a MerryChristmas, we do so in the fallest andtruest sense of the term. It is our

sincere wish ' that all of those, who,week by week, read in these columnsthe news collected for their information,and scan the paragraphs containing our

thooc'.ts, on various questions, thatseem worthy of presentation tó themfor consideration.-our friends, manywe hope; enemies, few we trust.mayspend a happy holiday season.

True meriment is the outward ex-

pression of that inner joy, which is.based upon present prosperity and con-

tentment, bright acticipations for tbefuture, or, better still, for nothing can

rot> one of that inestimable treasure,sweet reminisenee s of happy days in tbepast.The present moment is a crystal, for

we see our deeds, and thoughts clearlythrough it. The future is silver, forthe desire of obtaining it leads man

ever on, and on, even from amid themost faappy surroundings. But thememories of happy days, true friends,and deeds around which no shadows of

regret hover, are goldenjewels. They Jare ours, for all time. Through theeternity of tbe unnumbered years andcenturies of the soul's existence, eachmemories will be added delights to celes-tial dwellers, and solaee to tbe damnedof tbe nether world ; for the mind can-

not concerve a punishment so harsh as

tbe obliteration from memory's tablet,the recollections of happy moments,while leading the miserable wretch to

the tortured thoughts of evil deeds andmisspent days.

A.. Merry Christmas we wish you,every one; and may it ever remain inmemory'a keeping a time that you de-light to recall, and live over again, infancy, at each recurring Christmas tide.

A FIRS DEPARTMENT.

Several years ago the Watchman andSoutitron. began the agitation for a

Graded School System to replace tbepublic school'that then existed. Quitea number took offense at the position ofthe paper and charged that it was unjustio tbe first place and in the second placethat the agitation would result in no

good. Bat the ágitation found favor iothe eyes of the pnblic-spiritedand progressive citizens, and to-

day Som ter has a School sys-tem that is second to noce in tbe Stateand that constan tly draws new peopleto the city. This paper received no

benefit from the resulta of the agitation,not shared by the community at large.

In the last issue we took occasion to

speak of the inadequacy of the preseutfire department and the need of an or-

ganized system under the control ofthe city Council, and responsible to

Council for the performance of duty.While many commend our position,there are some who have taken tbe posi-tion assumed by those who were oppos-ed to the school agitation. This we

expected, and are in no wise oast down

by it. Sumter needs a fire department,and in time will have it.

In apeaking of the inadequacy of

tbe présent system no reflection was in-tended to be oast upon the individual ef-forts of the few who have voluntarilyand without compensation worked whileothers looked on at every fire for years.Their eiorts lacked system aod the re-

sult has, at no time, been proportionateto the energy expended.We want system and management,

and the city must obtain it.
