The watchman and southron. [volume] (Sumter, S.C.) 1881-1930, 1904-08-17

Tie great majority of the negroes Of
this State are disfranchised by reason
of their illiteracy, but the white peo-
pie are disfranchising themselves by
their cwn neglect to perform the full
duty OF citizens. There are hundreds
of white men in this county of lawful
age, and in all other respects qualifi-
ed to register, who have not done SO,
and are, therefore, debarred from
voting in a general election, from
sitting on a jury and from exercising
any other rights that are restricted
to qualified electors. These same men,
who are not citizens in the truest and
fullest sense of the term, are fre-
quently very active in party affairs
and majority of them never fail to
vote in the Democratic primaries.
But, as they persistently neglect, or
refuse, to qualify as voters, they
should not be permitted to have a
voice in the management Of the
party, nor vote in the primary. A
man who cannot vote in the general
election has no right to vote in the
primary, and until the party rules are
SO amended as to remedy this glaring
defeat the voteless Democrats will
continue to be a source OF weakness to
the party.

County Board Meets.

The new county board conven-
ed in special session at the court
house Monday afternoon. John
Durkee, of Arber Vitae, was
chosen chairman. The principal
business that came before this
meeting of the board was the mat
ter of the Goodenew bridge and
of providing additional vault
room for the county clerk $ office.
The bridge question was laid be-
fore the board by chairman Brad
ford and favorable action was tax
en- on the same. A bridge COM
mittee was appointed to act in con-
junction with the town board ana
this action definately settles the
bridge question.
The board appointed ID. l..
Jenkenson of Minocqua purchas
ing agent. After allowing the
usual number of bills, the board
adjourned until Tuesday, May II,
when they will meet to action on
repairing the court house, the
Goodenow bridge and making ar
fragments for additional vaultage
room.

The Ad. Mar Says:

1t should not be necessary to
do much arguing to convince a
business man of the ACCESSIBILITY
of advertising in this year of our
Lord. The advisability is SO evil
dent that every merchant who has
business judgment should appre-
ciate it without much effort on the
part of the advertising man. 1t
is easy enough to see the advan-
tage if aman uses judgment. The
idea is to get the people to under
stand the values that are carried
and the reason for selling them
and the advantage of buying on a
given day at a given price, The
things that appeal to people are
the things which should be en-
braced in the advertising to con-
vince the buyer.

Hurrah for Richmond!


Richmond Times Dispatch.
A special from Washington says
that bids were opened by the Ord
nance Department OF the army Sat
urday for a large quantity OF shells
for the use of the department. The
lowest bids were as follows:
The Tredegar Company, OF Rich
mond, Va, for 900 12-inch NOR
tar shells, 500 each; also 800 10
inch shells at S17.5O each.
The Richmond Iron Works, 300
4.S2-inch shells at S27S each, to be
delivered in four months The United
States Rapid Fire Company's bid for
the same shell was identical in
amount, but the delivery was to be
in six months. The Richmond Iron
Works, $500 1S-pound shells at
.53 each.
James W. Carr, OF Richmond, Va,
200 S-inch rifle shells at 80. II each;
the Phoenix Iron Works, 300 Pinch
shells at S24 "a each.

tation Not to be Pressed.

Raleigh Times
There Is news story from Wash
ington showing that all prospects of
the passage of a bill designed to re-
duce Southern representation in Goa
gress had disappeared, so far as the
present Congress is concerned That
both Senator Platt and Congressman
Crumpacker admitted the fact. and
that the situation is largely due to
the failure to enlist the active SUD-
port OF President Roosevelt orany of
the big lights of the Republican
party.
This result bears out the prediction
made by Senators simmons and Over
man, and the advice they gave some
weeks ago not to worry about the
matter is indicated.
But We are not entirely out of the
woods yet. The present Congress :"
expires March 4, and both Messrs.
Platt and Crumpacker intimate that
they will next December when the
new Congress convenes) renew their
agitation of the subject. But Mr..
Roosevelt can put them out of bust
ness then II he cares to do so, and it
IS to be hoped that he will elect to
pursue that course.

thus. When the price stood at 10
cents last year the spectators and
their dupes talked of 20 cents. This
season, inst as farmers have lost by
hold 10 for 10 cents, SO the mills are
apt to lose by waiting for prices to
strike the bottom. No one knows
any more about it than was known
when the top was reached. The de-
sire to squeeze the last penny out OF
a transaction is mutually injurious,
but it is fact of human nature which
must be recognized. Live and let

in morals
Another observation. Supposethe
slump in cotton had taken place be-
fore November 8, would the Eighth
Congressional district have gone Re-
publican? We doubt it, and are i'll
clined to the opinion that the Demo
cratic majority in the State would
have been materially larger. Many
farmers doubtless voted for high
priced extraordinarily, as they must
now see. OF course, as we have pre-
viously pointed out, the administra'
ton at Washington is no more re.
sponsible for the low price than it
was for the high price, but such a
truth us this can with difficulty be
brought home to the average voter
When the fl light was on the outstand

MAY REVISE ORDINANCE
COUNCIL COMMITTEE HEARS
MANY COMPLAINTS FROM THE
AFTER MEN ABOUT NEW LAW.

Another session of the joint council
committee on ordinances and fire de-
partment was held this afternoon to
consider the proposed theater ordi-
nance. The measure is not satisfac-
tory to either the owners of the old
theaters or the promoters Of new ones.
The latter class insist that the measure
Is drawn so as to make it practically
impossible to build another theater in
the city. Particularly do they object
to that section which prohibits stores
in front of theater buildings, a re-
quirement from which the old houses
are exempt.
The aldermen are not specially con-
cerned about the stores, but many of
them are firmly convinced that there
should be separate and adequate exits
from the main floor, balcony and gall
lery as well as adequate emergency
exits, in both the old and the new the
aters.
While realizing that it will be i'm
possible to make an ideally perfect
theater out Of an old building, they
do not think that the expenditure of a
few hundred or even thousands OF
dollars, and the possible loss OF reve-
nue. from store rent, should permit
the existence of conditions that would
make another Iroquois theater horror
