The editor of the Charleston Post should not waste his labors where his talents have such a narrow scope. He should get a position on Ira Hicks's periodical and have full and complete charge of the funny depart ment of prognostications, Ball says that the Antis will elect the next governor; of course he is joking, but such a joker as he, should not confine his jokes to such a small area as Charleston. for it is down right self ishness to have the laugh all to her self. The Crocodile tears shed by The Sumter Herald about our having pub lished the county treasurer's report and will get no pay for the same is entirely gratuitous, and we will in form it that we know the law in ref erence to the matter. Our rule is to give our readers as much information as we can for the money they pay us. There is such a thing as public spirit in this town that cannot be suppressed - by the weight of a few dollars, nor do our ideas change about the usefulness f publishing said report when we e placed in a position of not being able to get it-from the officer author. ized to give out the contract. The name of General John Gary Watts has been going the rounds ol the press recently with reference to a re-election and with but one or twe destiba, because he has done more to build up the militia and put it on a firm ,basis than any of his pre dmesrs. We sincerely hope that General Watts will be re-elected with out opposition and should he have an opponent we can be counted on, re gardless from whence comes the op. ~position to give him a hearty sup *port. .The campaign is about here and we think it will be well for us to say in the begining that this newspaper proposes to treat each and every candidate for local offices with ab solute impartiality. We will not ad vocate the interests of any local can didate through these columns. As an individual the Editor of the Times will vote for and support whom he may see fit; this is his private busi ness. This statement is made in order that all who expect to become candidates, be they friends or not, may know exactly what the attitude of this paper will be. We want to see a whole lot of candidates, because it gives the people a better chance to make a selection, and that is one of the reasons why the primary system was adopted. So patriots come out from every section and offer your. selves to be sacrificed upon the altar otyour country. Come out candi dates, it matters not how you get out, whether it is through the "solicita tion of many friends" a combination cliqe, or any other way just so you get otwhere the people can see who you are and what you want. Politics makes strange bed-fellows; it was only a few months ago the Conservatives were scraching the hide from their scalps to find words strong enough to express their con tempt for Senator Irby, and now it seems that they are falling over each other to give him support. In Laurens the Reformers repudiated Irby, and would have prevented his election to the State convention, but for the Conservatives, who went to Irby's rescue and saved him with a profit of two delegates out of their ranks for themselves. Senator Irby through this deal got himself elected to the State convention, but that is as far as he will go. The people well remem br how Irby's friends hounded Col. Shell for no greater offense to the Reform cause than treating Conser vativeswith common politeness; he made no deals, nevertheless he pre ferred to retire rather than jeopardize the cause which he helped to build. On the other hand, Irby proposes to force himself upon the people, or rn the cans they worked for io bard. He has become desperate since defeat stares him in the face, and his present conduct can only be trans lated to mean "return me to the Sen ate, or I will do everything im my power to turn the Reform colors over to our opponents." But fortunately the Reform colors do not belong to Irby or any other man; they belong to a majority of the people, and in our opinion they will take the colors from Irby's grasp and he will be told to go home and soak the soreness out of his bead. A resolution was offered at the meeting of the Marion County Al liance asking for a district conference to suggest a candidate for Congress to advocate alliance demands. We are at a loss to know why this step should be taken for it strikes us that we have in Congress at present rep resentating the sixth district a power ful advocate of the alliance demands. Is it possible that Marion has a man who thinks he can make a louder noise, demanding the "alliance de mands" than our present representa tive. Perhaps though, the confer ence call is part and parcel of a deal. Marion may call district conferences to suggest a candidate, but we will state, and the result will prove the correctness of our asertion that John L. McLaurin will be re-elected to Congress with or without the endorse ment of the conference suggest by Marion. There is such a thing as having friends whom we may pray to be de livered from and we think that Gen eral Ellerbe is in this fix. The people of this section of the congressional district are very friendly to General Ellerbe's candidacy for governor; they want to support him, but if a sacrifice has to be made between Ellerbe and McLaurin, why Ellerbe will be the one sacrificed, because they regard it important to have John L. McLaurin in Congress, and a governor can be picked up any where. We hope the people of this congressional district will be able to work harmoniously together, and they will do so if jealous politicians will just let the- people alone. If, however, a fight is to be had, we give notice that it will be to a finish, and like all other family fights, the results will be disastrious. SARDINIA'S MAY PARTY.

The stage was deco rated by the young ladies in the most artistic style. Ivy, roses, and ferns were used in profusion. The sur rounding atmosphere was loaded with the most fragrant perfumes. The spacious front yard was crammed with buggies and carriages and tbey were crammed with pretty girls. The young ladies that took part in the exercises were most charming, most angelic. dome with outstretched pinions, made us feel sure that we were standing -face to face with angels; others with wands in hand, reminding one of the mythical fairies; and still yet the comet, with her long: train bedecked with flowers of the rarest hues, in all her brilliancy, is too much to described. They all de serve credit for their dilligence in preparing for an entertainment of I such high merit. We can only say that Miss Olivia has evinced a rare talent in prepar ing entertainments and "learning the young idea how to shoot." We would say more, but to describe so brilliant an affair is like trying to "paint the sunbeams." SA.EIL.

No drunkaid shall inheri the kingdom of God." -The Christian'wcmen coul- do a glorious work if 'they wonl ! turu their powers and isliencc mgans strong drink; and turn f' _r ,1 ,i good: thoine s. -Men should tli:k right and au right au'l leave the result with G -Faith is the brightest star tLat lights the pathway of the Christian because "we are saved by faith;" "we are justified by faith;" "we live, stand. walk and over come the world by faith." -The jail was two small to hold Diaz, (known as Paul to the Cubans,) because the Lord Jesus was behind it all; and as soon as the news flashed into the face of the American nation where protection awaited him, the old door flew open, almost like the jail at mid night that held Paul and Silas. -The man who tries to walk with one foot in the church and the other in the wvorld cannot go very far; the roads fork, and "no man can serve -Christ did not baptize infants when he said "suffer little children to come unto me, and forbid there not; for of such is the king dom of heaven." -God bless the man who sacri fices for Him and His glory, and tLe greater the sacrifice the greater will be the blessing. -Sunday is "The Lord's day" and should be kept andjhonored as such; it should be a day of religious read ing, meditation, and thanksgiving, rater than loating on the streets, and reading business letters, and thinking of same. -The darkest night that ever hovered over Sodomn was the night when Lot entertained the angels, when not ten rightecus persons could be found in all the city of the plains. But the brightest day that ever dawned upon created man was the day when God said, '-Whosoever will may come and take the water of life freely." -The man who plows all the week and lefs his horse rest Saturday af ternoon for church on :Sunday-. wil make just as much as the man who i so good natured to his horse that he wo't plow all day Saturday, and bhen go to church on Sundar-, but who is so stingy that he won't iet hi. borse rest on Saturday afte-rnoon. -The old Prophe-t had the man who sold whiskey in view whenz be said, "oe unto him that giveth his 2eighbor drink." -John the Baptist was an excellent reacher until he stepped on Herod's .oe and crossed him in his wickedness hen his life became imperiled. -Procrastination is thief of souls. -The brightest light that a Chris ian can walk in is the light of the 3ible.

Death has once more passed arough otir midst with its heairtless 'ork and made our hearts and homes. 1l sad, because of the removal of lit e "Elmer," the youngest ehild of! - rother and Sister Howie. It is sol ard to give up the tiny babe. We mnno understand it: now, "bnt: we ;h:dl knowlcreatter." Elmer was so ood, so sweet, so sensible. Often as we would look at her in the bloom of bealth, she seemed more fitted for heavu than earth. One night as we sat in the hush and stillness of the darkness the angel hovered lower, and up from the bed of pain he rose, bturiug aloft on angel pinions the sweet spirit of our babe. She is gone. Her little voice is hushed on rth. We are left trying to gather up fh fragments of a crushed and amangled hope. But let us not weep; God has but taken that which wits his own. "The Lord gave, and the Lord hath taken away, blessed be the iame of the Lord." She is gone to sing the "new song" which no man ea:ui learn--the song of innocence swelling out from infant voices and echci::g through the world above. "We shall meet our loved ones gone some sweet day." SOUND MONEY. "Hypocrisy is the tribute that vice pa'.s to virtue." The world's en lightenment to-day will not sanction tyranny and oppression under a gen uine label that discloses its intent and purpose. Fair words and delusive phrases of necessity are used, like the livery of heaven in the service of the devii, to bolster every scheme aimed at human rights. Every prostitution of government to private uses, every undue advantage of the few over the many, everything done in public affairs that would pull the bandage from the eyes of the little goddess with the scales, and fire her cheek with indignation, must be done cov ertly in the name of justice. Only with popular catch words as mottoes can the great heart of America be deceived. Collectively, in the interest of the public weal, we are honest. The American people are pioneers in "of the people and by the people," and sone of the untrodden paths in our front seem equally alluring, and must be traveled and tried before we know whether they lead to better and igi her ground. This should enjoin u- to patience with all honest differ ere s of opinion, but hypocracy de -:r' s no shield. the d0iscasion of money it will te impute dishonesty to all use tle terms "sound ioney," money," 'cheap money," , or it would not be true. Yet toi pople will take heel of what these terms imply, and see if injustice is not being paradled under its usual cloak. Suund : money means stable, secure money. It means a basic money proportioned to the credit money resting on it. Was the base excessive with gold and silver both as standard money, v.ith two and a half billions excess of paper money above the world's specie? If not, was the reduction of that base by nearly one-half conducive to soundness? It has been shown by trial that the new base is too small, and has to be sup plemented. Does that dem onstrate its sufiiciency or insufficiency? Is not the unsoundness of the present system exactly- measured by the considered, why do we borrow to int crease the base? To call that sound finance that projects a mountain of credit money into the air, the excess of which has no metal base whatever, seems to reverse all our previous conception of things. If this "goes," we shall have to cudgel our brains to invent a new term for unsoundness. It would not do for the advocates of the new theory to admit that an ex clusive gold base altered values by increasing the purchasing power of money. This, in the face of billions of debt, would be an admission that a great crime had been committed. It would be an admission that con tracts had been impaired, tbe legal right to do which does not exist; but there are imiplied admissions from which there is no logical escape. The allegation that a return to bimetalism will make "cheap money" is an ad mission that the dleparture from it made d-ar money. What becomes of all the long arguments to show that the gold standard had no effect to increase the burden of debt or lessen the price of land and its oro ducts, if retracing our steps by re mounetizing silver will make cheap money? The use of the term "cheap mney" is a confession that money can be mauipulated as to its value. If there are some who do not see whiat the two contrary arguments imply, it will be shown more clearly v:L~e:1 reduced to its lowest terms, 'I:., thie departure from himetallism honl no effet on values, but the re o:ration of bimjetallism will make ei:cesp money andl be calamitous.I Were it not for debt and credit, money manipulation would be with out an object and would cease. The sole object of metallic money is, that nature, in the ouitput of the precious metals, helps to limit the supply. This is a more positive restriction than mankind have yet shown themselves iapable of. Time will show the folly f disturbing the old relation. If restriction of coinage makes dearer money for creditors, the debtors who s.tnumber the others ten to one, when they learn the game, will not, it s feared, stop at 16 to 1, will infiate paper money to a ruinous extent in cetaliation. With the money lords na hapless minority, where will it stop? It is useless to argue with .hose who contend that the value of ;old is fixed and unch'ange~able with >ut regard to its quantity or demand, nio prove its stability by measuring .t by itself. Nothing but surgical >peration would seem to help such a :ase. If their memories are not too hort, they can recall the time when he nations of Europe made their :rusade against the yellow metal; vhen it was demonetized in the Ger nan states, Holland and Belgium, ond railed against as silver is now od for the same cause. We must bolish debt, or again establish the coney' of the constitution. H. J. HAtvEs, Lansing, Mich. I OHN S. WILSON, Allorney and C'ounselor at Law, UANTNG. C.O SUMMERTON NEWS. Summnerton, May 12.-Accorling to pro grain, the big picnic cane off at Scott's Lake on Fr:dav lrat. From early morn till iitddiay departnres were merrily made for the gala spot. Verily to one on the grounds it seemed m: if the clars were gathering. ant There was a soumi of revelry by day For Ci' iarndon':; acres hai '.*'ere l there, ier be.ty an. her ebivalry. To ttne ccustolied to atteral these pie nies, it se:rtetl as :f the hoary oaks ruts t:ed out a welcorne frotu t'..eir stualy to1-s, exte::d:ng tirecting with their uontt.tretched bows and invitig re-.t its the shade. he lake, too, nestlig at the foot of the biul, rippled out a stille of joy, aid welcouit its friends ant! guests to repose on its peceful bosoir. All these gracious invitations were at once accepted, and soon the more sedate nmairinas disposed ti.tmselves beneath the shadowy oaks and gossipped of jicuitcs gone by, when they, too, were young, at least Nounger, anI recounted, silently of course, the many wounds they made in matly breasts. Down througih the trees they tan see the same battle going ot now out on the lake, and they offer no warning, knowing that the young folks upon tie lake could not be their sons and daughters did they not do just as they were doing. The small boy a:d the little uaid are also in their glory as boat load after boat load pusLes out.for i ride in the shade of the overhanging trees. \Vnat more con fiding or lovely sight than to see some strong man, with brawny arm, steering a little cockie, therein which are a half tdozen or more little tots out upon the broal irnke. whil careful matnuias look smilingly oi from the shore. Uut now something is stirring up on the hill. There is moving in hot haste in various directions; there is a sight tiat would make a stranger stare, as it sems that the whole crowd, under tu uaruage ment of sktillful leaders are mating a raid upon buggies, a irriages, wagon:, and everytking big enough to hold a basket or hamper. The result is startling and enough to remind old veterans present of the time when Jackson got hold of Pope's stores at 2nd :ianass.as. No use to say anythin; about that dinner, one reason is that there wast't much said during its progress. Each was intent on the busi ness of the hour, During the day excursions tre made by land and water to grim Fort Watson, one half mile distant, and the old fort is once more garrisoned, but not as of old. The only weapons 'ised are those of Cupid, and it takes Roentgen and his X rays to see where the damage is done, as no doubt there has been inischiet done. During the whole afternoon the lakeside, the grove, the old fort, is picketed, not by single seitinela grim and silent, but there seems to be need for str ager outposts as they are stationel in coupies. Sometires duing si:ailir occasions a lonely wanderer would walk upon one of these pic.;et sta tions before he knew it, but thanks to Daune Fashion, there is not a tree no.v big enough to bide a boy, a girl and her sleeves. They ca't both air up ag:ainst the saae side of the tree. If he wantas to be in sight at al be :aust sit out on a rout in front.

Tale Cit, . C. JOTTIMS FROM JORDAN. Jordan, May i1.-Scarcely has the dark cloud of affliction rolled from before our grief-stricken hearts and with her slow rays of sunshine and hope have somewhat palliated the bitter pangs of grief, ere we are again called upon to:.lay away to rest another of our loved ones. This time, God in his mercy, has taken from the home of Mr. C. R. Sprott their joy, their bright and sweet girl, Mary Thomas, aged one and one-half years. This is the fifth death which has occurred in the large family in about twe've months. May God give them submission and grace to say, "Thy will be done." and to remember that "What I do now, ye know not, but ye shall know hereafter." The family'. has the heart-felt sympathy; of the co:nmu nity. There was not quite as clean a sweep of Jordan during the;week of the meeting as you were informed, Mr. Editor, though a good many were changed from their wayward ness, more than one remains "un captured." Jordan is quieti..and peaceful, slowlyv'and unostentatiously .moving onward. Some of the recent addi tions for our convenience are good pa.-senger accommodations on our railroad; new depot just completed, express office, morning and evening mail and the completion of the Meth odist parsonage, where we now have our preacher right in our midst. Rain has been plentiful here of late and in consequence oats are looking fine. Corn is growing and we are getting fine stands of cotton and grass simultaneously, and, I'm afraid, inseparably, More anon. L.
