The ^arppaig'n liar ia again .abroad in the county. This time ,he is circulating false and misleading reports on Mr. T. G. Culp, .who is a candidate for county Hupqrvispr. The .principal story which is .being circulated against Mr.,Culp is to the effect that ho .appointed a negro overseer of .roads in this ^township some time ago ] tl..i AI ? ? * iiu wipi ,m?'re wero wane men .working under liim. He did appoint a negro overseer, as charged, jhut Ir^ie report that there were .wh^tetinen working under him is Absolutely false. There were only <wo white men subject to road tax ? .. the locality in which the negro ^3\perintended the road work, and nether of them would accept the plice, both preferring to pay in.stcSd of work. Voters of Rock Hill ^naotlier sections of the county whfb^tbis untrue report is being ,oirpilated will know how much ere- j t<lenc* to place in it when they learn ,thfd t was started by a man who was inspected of robbing a store .^n thi place a few months ago.

J. Bryan, now thiuka that the hope of the country lies in the Democratic nominee's election. He snys: "Imperialism must always Irest on n standing army. Its vital principle and essential element is the thirst of a mercenary soldiery for opportunities of plunder and promotion. "Republican government must always rest on the virtue, patriotism, self-sacrifice and self-coutrol of tho citizen soldier. We antiimperialists have no fear for the security of our country while it is guarded by the valor of American ' Democracy. We don't sit up I *? *1?* T l mm tuav VUIIIII, UnpSIl, Germany or any other power might undertake to injure us or to seize part of our territory. We would be perfectly satisfied to trust the security of American soil to American laborers, organized as citizen soldiers, oven if they were armed with no better weapons than paving stones. ."The opponents of militarism have often been called cowards by its supporters. Who are the cowards? The men who believe in the resistless strength of the greatest citizenship that this world has ever seen, and who are willing to trust the safety of their lives and property to it, or those hysterical, vociferous patriots who call frantically for other men to take up arms and go into the four quarters of iliA rvlnKn saaVSnei ?*"11 ? ? 1 ^ ovcbu^ piiiage anu spreading destruction? "We have been told that after wo have acquired these islands and established a standing army over them they will all be happy. Well, they may. An imperial system might result in benefit to those islanders. I won't dispute that. But I do insist that this would be absolutely ruinous to this country, and it is in defense of this country that I write. It has been asked, What have you anti.imperialists to propose? I answer. It is not for ns to propose while McKinley alone has the right to dispose. But I will venture to say that whatover may be the outcome of this crisis, it will be the very best solution of which human virtue is cnpnble. "I know that the imperialistic policy is the very worst that could be suggested, and therefore I am confident it will bo rejected. I c.An prophesy what will not happen, from the whole history of the American people. I can prophesy what will happen, because they have always surpassed the expectation of the wisest in the splendor of their actual achievements. "The issue before the American people is the vindication of the declaration of independence. Can there be a doubt as to how it will be decided? There is but one, j and that springs from a doubt as to whether the people will be able to vote upon it directly. It is self evident that opposition to imperialism must lie made through the organization of the Democratic party." Tha Democratic Campaign Book. The National Democratic Campaign Text-Book was issued Saturday. It wns prepared by Mr. G. C. Gorham, formerly aocretarv of the United State* Senate, aud contains H00 pages. It contains ths political platforms, the notification speeches of the Democratic candidates, and a great deal of interesting and indispensable information for the convenience of 1 speakers and writers in the campaign. In a chapter reviewing the convention Bpeech of Senator Lodge, who presided over the Republican convention, he is con- ; fronted with the resolutions contained in the Republican platforms, both of 1856 and 1860, in which the $ep ublican party places itself! squarely op the doctrine that the < constitution extends of its own i force intq the territories. In the phapter on tho Spanish war the President is charged with haying held bpck as long as he | p. >n M Snoniali '? ? f-- i'v ii uuuuuuiucra wuu wer? receiving t|je Cuban oustonis revenues on account of the debt. The writer quotes the Preeidept as limiting Qpngrem f.o authorize bim to impose e<jija| both upon the ^Cubans and the j|yptni.ard8fiiul force o pence on the ialnud. TJie administration of the \Var Department during the war with.Spain is savagely denounced. The Commissary Department is discussed.in a lively manner in connection with the embalmed beef contracts and the abuae of General Miles by General Egan because pf his statements before the investigating commission. Seventeen of the fifty chapters in the book are devoted to the subject of imperialism under the title "The Republic or the Empire." This was in compliance with the declaration of the convention that imperialism is the paramount issue of the campaign. In this chapter the author draws largely from official records and otherdocmnents to sustain his claim that the war in the Philippines was forced by the administration in order to forestall any action by Congress. The proceedings of the antiimperialistic convention are given and a comparison instituted between the speech of ex-Senator Ikmtwell and present Senator Lodge on the subject. Judge William Springer, of Illinois, contributes a chapter ou the subject ?/. *UV uioiuua lit ?UU Court on the question of the Constitution in tbe Territories. An interesting chapter is given containing evidences of the exist, ence of nu unwritten British alii, ance. The stealings of the United States Republican officials in Cuba occupy n long chapter. Uluetra. tive of the frugal methods prevail, ing there, the item for $16,000 for ammuuition in "charities and hospitals" is given. Several chapters are devoted to the legislation imposing duties on commerce of Porto Rico with other ports of the United States. The argument is made that such legislation is in violation of the Constitution and is "imperialism applied" A vnst array of newspaper extracts are given showing the hostility of leading Republican newspapers to this legislation. In dealing with the subject of the trusts, the remedies proposed by the two parties are recited. Mr. Bryan's bill in Congress in 1892 is quoted as showing that his opinion at that time has undergone no change. The struggle between the armor plate trust and the govern* ment in the Senate on the last day of the oession ia dealt with at considerable length. The trust is represented as having attained a victory on that occasion. Chapters are given on the subjects of railroad discriminations in favor of tho trusts and the ship subsidy bill. Vtave as4 Thm. A rattlesnake was killed at Goforth's mill, in Bethany, this county,one day last week. It measured feet in length and had five rattles and a button. It is the first that has been killed in this neighborhood in a good many years, though they are known to exist in considerable numbers at the King's Mountain battle-ground, * few miles further on.?Yorkvil\e Yeoman. An exodus of negroes is reported from North Carolina, as a result of the recent elections held in that Cli.i. a ? oiaie. a negro preacher in .forts* mouth says that if Virginia's con* stitutional convention results in the disfranchising of the colored man, the same thins will take place in that State. Five hundred negroes have permanently * left Wake oounty, N. C., going toother States to live, and it is stated that from the black belt of the eastern section, the exodus will reach many thousands. Tbo negro emigrants go largely to Mnssaohusette but generally to States where they have children or relatives. I Chicago sneak thieves are work- j ing a shrewd campaign game. They operate in gangs. One of them transforms himself into a campaign orator and spouts red hot politics from a cart or curbstone. While he is stirring up enthusiasm by expounding the theory of good government, and denouncing tyranny and corruption, his confederates are operating among the crowd and in the adjacent houses.

"A stock company is forming," says a promoter quoted by the Philadelphia Record, "for the manufacture and distribution of artificial milk on a vast scale. Our chemists tel. us that the article is just as nutritious as the best cow's milk, aud we are experimenting with it 011 babiea and sickly persons with most grutifying results.

Ar- 1 tificial milk is, altogether, a much cleaner thing than the natural fluid.M It is proposed to erect upon the exposition grounds at Charleston a State building designated to show in detail the resources of every county in South Carolina, says the Columbia Record. This building will be somewhat in the form of a horse shoe. Along the circumference of this horse shoe each county will be represented in a commodious booth, while the opening in the center of the horse shoe will be filled in with a great embossed map, occupying a space of not less than 2,500 square feet. On this map the visitor may see at a glance the entire conformation of the State, with the details of every county, showing its mountains and hills.itii riv?ra villi khair rl , and undeveloped water powers, its < growth of timber, its railroads and \ principal county roada. If these plans shall be carried out there will be afforded to each county, 1 city, and village of the State an 1 opportunity never before offered to i fully exploit its resources and the advantages which it offers intending settlers and investors. No ) doubt every county in the State ' will readily realize the benefits to i be derived from so clear a setting forth of the industrial possibilities of the State, and will be eager to I co-operate with the managers of the exposition in making this building a house beautiful, whose contents shall be as rich and varied as the natural and manufactured < products ? agricultural, mineral, and textile?of the State itself.
