Edsrefield Advertiser Tl'OS. J. ADAMS,.EDITOR WEDNESDAY, MAR. 18, 189oT We deem it our du'y to adyise cur people sgainst the organization of Silver Clubs. Il is nothing more nor less than an insidious attempt to break up the democratic party. It makes no difference from how high a source such a scheme emanated, it is fraught with dan. ger. To desert the old ship upon whioh we have made so many pros perous voyages because its com mander (soon to be relieved) prov ed recreant to his trust and his du ty, would make us as great traitors as. be. Let us stand to pur colors ! The Piedmont Headlight says: "There is goiDg to be some high kicking in this State when the tax collector opens his office Dext fall. The assessments will remind you of old reconstruction days." Now, what docs this signify? Be it re membered that the Piedmont Head, light is a Refoimer of reformers. As the election of the new board of county pensions is a \hry impor tant matter, andas two of i's mern, hers are to be selected by the old Confederate soldiers, we would sug gest that the Confederate Camps in the county should take some action in the matter. Such action should be had at an carly day as the meeting of the oid soldiers takes place on the first Monday in April. Senator Troy's call, as chairman of the State democracy, for a meet, fag of the State democratic com. mittee on 7th April, appears ir another column, copied frem thc Columbia Register head lines and all. Whatever motive Senator Ir. by may have in the special phrase ology he uses in this paper, we commend the matter thereof. Lei Edgefield proclaim and maintait her allegiance to democracy first la?i, and all the time. uUnstab]< as the wind, thou shalt not sue ceed." The docking of the battle ship Indiana, at Port Royal last weet was quite a notableevent anddrev crowds of sightseers from Carol inf and Giorgia. Governors Atkinsoi and Evans were present. Latest from Port Royal is to thc ?ffest; that the docking has not yet taken place. One hundred and eighteen thou com in Kansas last year. The late Legislature passed more bills than any similar body known to mankind. Teachers Association.

Wal ton Whitman ^u.i made up hifi mind to enter the State campaign as candidate for governor. His platform is: "Death to thewhi-key traffic as a beverage, death to competition in the matter of higher education where the State is a party, the best system of common schools possible, industrial education in Clemson and Winthrop colleges with literary courses to fit their students to enter institutions of higher learning; towns, cities and ccuntry to be placed on the same plane in matters of legislation aL.d enforcement of law, no discrimi nation against or in favor of class es or profession, prejudice and ha ired to be discouraged and sup pressed and brotherly love and charity advocated." The New Dispensary. After making it a misdemeanor to barter exchange or pay freight or express, or remove any li juor whatsoever, except that purchased of the dispensary the law says : "All such liquors, except when bought of a State officer, or in pos session of one and having been du ly tested bj' the chemist of the South Carolina college and found to bo chemically pure, are declared to be contraband and against the morals, good health, and safety of the State and all alcoholic liquors in this State and not having been tested by the chemist of the South Carolina college and found to be chemically pure, are hereby de clared to be of a poisonous and detrimental character and thpir use and consumption as a bev< i 'age are against the morals, good health and safety of the State, and all such liquors may be seized where ever found, without a warrant, and turned over to the State commis sioner."

THE STATE DEMOCRATIC EXECU TIVE CO:.:MITT:?E CALLED TO MEET IN COLUMBIA OX THE EVEXING OF APRIL 7-SOME OBSERVATION'S ox DEMOCRATIC DUTY. To the Members of the State Dem ocratic Executive Committee: Pursuant to the call of the Dem ocratic National Comm Uee direct ing the selection of delegates from each of the several States to assem ble in Chicago on July 7th next, for the purpose of nominating can didates for Prssident and Vice President of tho United States, the Democratic State Executive Com mittee :s hereby requested to meet in the city of Columbia on Tues day, tho 7th day of April, 1896. at the bou: of 8 o'clock p. m., for the purpose of taking the necessary steps looking to the reorganization of the Democratic party, and to the assemblage of the State convention to elect delegates to the national convention as provided for by ar ticle IV of the constitution of the party. Recognizing as I do the wide differences of opinion as to the details of party policies and party management, yet fully alive to the present emergencies upon the Democracy, we cannot but re alize that the party's purposes and , successes ?.au only be attained by discipline and organization. As understood by us, the hope of- the ' country is centered in the Demo ( eratic party. Its principles, which 1 have been handed down from Jef . fersou and Jackson, are absolutely necessary to maintain the equal rights of all of the States and to ' secure the wise and economical ^ government of the cou ifry What l ever differences lhere may be as to the application of the general prin ! ciples for which the party stands, all must agree that only by harmo ny, concession, and loyally to the party, can greit ends bc accom plished. The representatives of this State should, therefore, goto ; the national convention with a fix ed determination to meet their brethren in a spirit of unity and 1 with a view to harmony. United 1 aud in perfect sccord, we ought to be able to continue in conti ol of , the government. With a deter . ruination to introduce harmony, we can gain much in the direction of our owu desires as to the applica tion of Democratic principles; we . can gain nothing except the defeat ".ft1)u^nuP?ur""3???rmm organize if we cannot have our particular views carried out. How 1 ever we may differ as to details with our brother Democrats from other sections of the Union, we all know that the Democratic crped aud a Democratic control of the government are far better for us than anything we may expect from our opponents. J. L. M. IRBY. Chairman Committee. SALUDA COUNTY LITERA TURE. The Miekler Deed.
