in MaLrILEF, S. C%. -L. NETTLES, Editor. Merely a Timeserver. Our friends of the Newsand Courier hare a certain facility for sitting as tride the fence, on any question what soever, and for stepping down first on one side and-then on the other, and finally bobbing up and perching se sanely on the rail, that amounts al most to.genius. As we have said, the question- is of no consequence heatseever. The fence is its favorite .. tion; and, it must be cozfessed, mt it is, in many respects, a position of advantage. While you are, con structively, on both sides, you have emitted yourself to neither. If either aide gets~too warm for you, you seek shelter on the other, and swear by all that's honest that you were thereall the time. You can easily prove an alibi, by being always nowhere in par Inicular. In the J. M. Smith matter, this fa cility for shifting faces finds a wag nificent op ity, and it is not lost. It is 'id with avidity and made the most -oL The. thoughtarises, however, that the Nws and Courier, h1ving, in its capacity as "official or g to swallow rather a nauseous in the recent Charleston election, is trying to ease its spirit of resent ment by having a Bing at Columbia and poor Mr. Smith. The excuse for this inconaistency-for even the N. & C. can wse how such a doubling up mightbe considered inconsistent-is that while the candidates we, in Charleston, were called upon to vote for were bad, yet Mr. Smith is worse! For the force of this comparison of bad with worse, we have only the au thority in reference to the frauds in which Mr Smith, probably, had his share. In this matter, it would be a better witness than judge.. - This co ant journal is vee care ful to pointout the pages in the record upon which are entered the charges against a. M. Smith. There are other pages in that record which the . and C would not relish turning to. If it wll turn to pages 260 and 264 of the "Beport on Public 'rauds," it would be more edified than in re bashing the record of Mr. Smith. But in attacking Mr. Smith, the . and C. forgets that it is encouraging independentism-a thing abhorred by and bo s-andthat it is as the principles that govern what it so proudly called the "regular 'Deocratic nomination." I Mr. Smith is dropped, will it not bie "the opening wedge," which we heard so much of last fall, and which threatens the splitting asunder of the party? The so-called "regular" Dem ocratic nominating convention put up Mr. Smith as a quinine .pill-un angared and -nigusdfor good, -fall, and thoug we "gurgled and "uge we managed to worry them aon.i The nominatiop by the "reg ular' Democratic convention is a pan acea for all conscience misgiving. This was the only reason we tolerated the nominations, and elected the can didates. .But the trouble the city has had with them since, with their eonomic theories and extravagant practices, and with their system of opeson, has proved a heavy retri We confess, then, for many reasons, we would like to see Columbia hold her breath and swallow the Smith ' as we swallowed our pills. We many pills-Columbia has but one. But it will do the work. It will teach Columbia the terrible lea son which it is hoped Charleston has thoroughly learned-to put no trust in what the ring calls the "regular" Democratic party. If we place our selves in the power of this self-styled "regular" convention, we can expect nothing but ring-rule. When we ac knowledge them to be the "regular" convention, we must abide by their -work-for it is ours by blind adop tion.-Charleston Sun. Mr. Smith and his Judges. WuWSroN, S. C. March 27, 1888. Editor Register: If you will allow me a brief space in your columns, I propose to snow your many readers the inconsistency of that invective at tsck on ex-Senator Smith in all the late issues of the New and Courier, which eninated from the Columbia of that most estimable I do not, in the first instance, pro pose to justify ex-Senator Smith's ac tions while he was Barnwell's Senator, but it seems to me that neither the General Manager, -or the New and Courfera itself;, occupies a position wherein they can with expediency as sail any one at tha time. It istrue id' not taka much stock in Columbia politics at that time, but after the- revolution in 1876, I remem lier full well what that faambus Comn miUee on Frauds got out-of that little 'Diary, which was enough for almost any conscientious man to believe, or rather it-was sufficient for me to in for that both Josephus and Jones, the *general mnnager of that most estima ble journal, the Charleston News and Strange. with all that in the face of intelligence the General Manager would allow such an attack as that of No Good's to enter its columns. I am certainly sorry to make this exposure, but knowing much of the General Manager's dark deeds, I could not refrain from saying something on the subject for the public good. It seems that all the time this good stealing was gdng on the General Manager was kept well posted by his chum, Josephis, who even blushed when told of "Honest John's" adage that there was five years more of good stealing in this State. But with all that, the General Man ager seexvs to have so covered his tracks that he has become a particular favorite with the Democratic party, as he has reached its piunacle by be ing the Soth Carolina member of the Natwnal Democratic Executive Com mittee, and with the gift of such an office, he has, or his Columbia corres pondent has, the audacity to upbraid poor ex-Senator Smith for taking the small amount of fifteen hundred dol lars, when I am bound to believe from the little Diary only that the gain of the General Manager was, at least, five times as much.-~Josephus, in Columbia Register. "The Sumter Farce." (Biskopeille t rprise3 Our cotemporary, the Pee Dee Inde., heads an editorial, as the above, on the recent attempt at trial of the Keels-Bo-wman affair at this place and other cases resulting from it. We clip the following from the same: "At the next term the case will probably be continued until the next term and so on until the community is disgusted with the quibblings of lawyers and the weakness and help lessness of the criminal law courts. "The methods employed to obtain a postponement of the cases are notori ously shameful and impudent. It is well known that persons were hired to lease the State and remain beyond its jurisdiction until a postponement could be had on the ground of their alsence, while had they been present their testimony would have been of no value. "Were such csses of less frequent occurrence this particular one would excite general indignation and even dismay. Into so great disrepute, however, have the courts of law fallen that the most notorious failure of jus tice attracts little attention and no wonder or surprise. People smile in fine scorn at the mention of the word justice, for it has come to be an emp ty expression, almost without mean ing. Justice may be said to be rela tive in its character. The case of the Sumter rioters, even at this early stage of the proceedings, reveals the influence of agents mightier than the combined power of ?Ioth law and right. The power of money and so cial position as controlling factors in courts of law are as plainly manifest as if it were boldly and publicly pro laimed. Had these defendants been poor and ignorant, without money, friends or worldly positions, the ad ministration of justice in their case would not have been found a difficult matter. The law would have been speedily vindicated." These are grave charges and then being from the pen of a lawyer who could be supposed to know the chi canery of the legal profession. How long will the people smile in fine scorn at justice? Will these cases be permitted to ride rough-shod over law and right by the notoriously shamefully and impudent postpone ment methods. These postponements work an injustice to every tax payer of the county, and is a heavy expense and trouble to witnesses, taking them from their place of business, forcing them to pay from their own pockets their necessary expenses at court, and then for justice to be driven from her course. Away with the. courts when justice is sacrificed to favor, position, influence, money or what not. We cry aloud for justice to all men, friend or foe, rich or poor. Three Political Points. [Foefieu (,ronie&J Our State Democratic Executive Committee will meet in Columbia on Friday evening of next week, April 6.' We hope they will call the State Con vention to meet in Columbia, as usual -instead of in the up-country. That is point number one. And, inasmuch as it is pretty clear to our mind that the presentSte administration will be renominated in a body-and we have no objec tion, without we could get John C. Sheppard for Governor-we hope the State Convention will be extremely careful about ren lering a second Convention necessary. If the present State ad ministration is to be renominated, let us, if it be by any means possible, avoid the folly of incurring the trouble and expense of a second Convention. That is point number two. And earnestly do we hope that the State Convention will not in any way moot the nomination of our State of ficers by primary election. Circum stances alter cases tremendously in tis world. The primary is the best plan for county nominations, but for State officers it would surely lead to delay, expense, trouble, confusion and disappointment that would weigh very havily- upon our people at larg. A Woniii from Austria. Near the village of Zilling dorf, in Lower Austria, -lives Maria Haas, an intelligent and industrious woman, whose story of physical suffering and final relief, as related by herself, is of interest to Englisb women. "I was employed," she says, "in the work of a large farm house. Overwork brought eon sick headache, followed by a deathly fainting and sickness of the stomrach, until I was unable to retain either food or drink. I was compelled to take to my bed for several weeks. Getting a little better from rest and quiet, I sought to do some work, but was soon taken with a pain in my side, which .n a little while seemed to spread over my whole body, and throbbed in my every limb. This was followed by a cough and :hortness of breath. until fina.y I could not sew, and I took to my bed for the second, and, as I thought, for the last tine. My friends told me that my time had nearly come,. and that I could not live longer then when the trees put on their green once more. Then I happened to get one of the Sei gel pamphlets. I read it, and my dear mother bought me a lxttle of SEIcOn 's SYnUP, (Shaker Extract of Roots) which I took exactly according t<" directions, and I had not taken the whole of it before I felt a change for the better. My last illness began June 3d, 1882, and continued to August 9th, when I began to take the Syrup. Very soon I could do a little light work. The cough left me, and I was no more troubled in breathing. Now I am perfectly cured; and oh, '1ow happy I am! I cannot express gratitude enough for SEIGEL's SYRUP (Shaker Ex tract of Roots). Now I must tell you that the doctors in our district distributed handbills cautioning the people against the medicine, telling them it would do no good, and many were thereby influenced to de stroy the Seigel pamphlets; but now, whenever one is to be found, it is kept like a relic. The few preserved are bor rowed to read, and I have lent mine for six miles around our district. People have come eighteen miles to get me to buy the medicine for them, know ing that it cured me, and to be sure to get the right kind. I know a woman who was look ing like death, and who told them there was no help for her, that she had consulted several doctors, but none could help her: I1 told her of Seigel's Syrup, and wrote the name down for her that she might make no mistake. She took my advice and the Syrup, and now she is in perfect health, and the peo >le around us are amazed. ' he medicine has made such progress in our neighborhood that people say they don't waut the doctor any more, but they take the Syvrup. Sufferers from gout who were confined to their beds and could hardly move a finger have been cured by it. There is a girl in or district who caught a cold by going through some water, and was in bed live years with costiveness andl rheumatic pains, and lhad to have an attendant to watch by her. There was not a doctor in the surrounding district to whom her mother had not applied to relieve her child, but every one crossed themselves and said they could not help her. WThenever the little!ell rang, whic>l is rung in our place when anyl~ody is dead, we thought surely it was for her; but Seigel's Syrup and Pills (Shaker Extract of Roots) saved her life, and now she is as healthy as anybody, goes 'to church, and can work even in the fields. Everybody was astonished when they saw her out, knowing how many years she had been in bed. To-day she adds her grati tude to mine for God's mercies and Seigel's Syrup. MAnzI HIas. Shaker~Medicines are now being sold in all parts of the world, and are working wonders, as shown in the above case. A. J. Wmnrs CITIZENS OF CLARENDON! STAND BY YOUR COUNTY SEAT!
