Democrat and ampecter ofl^coMUtotiba of these Dnit States joi America, we must ^confess to a fearfully and wou derfully tired feeling when we jMte that the leaders of the Democratic party profess to be Sieve aad publicly announce that fbey rcfard the gold standard mi Irrevocably fixed, und to be hereafter regarded as the only monetary standard of the country If these people ar? honest in tMs declaration, which we do not believe, tbewnre say elect Roosevelt and Fairbanks. Two Presidential elections have de monstrated that the policy of the Republican party is the poli cy that is indorsed by the great monied interests of the country. Deprive the large mujority of fthe voters, the wage-earners, the fcone and sinew of every repulic, of the hope that at some time in Uhe future they will have a dou 'blCt .and not a single standard of ttflue, and you have deprived ttae republic of one of the strong est props, and paved the way to a system of despotism, second oflriy te that of Russia, conceded tjr tlvo most despotic of all des potisms. The (Gold ^Standard?what does it -mean? It means that a third or -more <ef the mineral wealth of tbe world (that is used as money Is irrevocably relegated to a place jatnong the baser metals that are used only in the arts .and science*, or for domestic pur poses. In the use of the words, domestic purposes, we mean the use of silver for the manufacture 4>f -plate, spoons, Ac. While at prevent, wtecan see nothing be fore us bat an acceptance by our -party of the single standard, we ?do see that grave wrong and jgnomi harm will eventually come to?iie country from the accept ance of it as a finality by the Dertaocratic party, the party of J.be people. We have mentioned this' matter before. We may agaifr mention it, but wo can nev-! er, and will never be more em phatic than in here declaring that fwe denounce as cowardly and'cur like the surrender by our leaders 4?f one of the vital principles of our party, and that too, purely *tnd simply for the s?ake of expe diency. What is political expediency? It is in this case nothing more or less than the sacrificing of a j?reat principle by a once great party for the purpose of jtostibly ^capturing enough doubtful States Ao land Mr. Parker in the White House. This is fairly plain talk wo think. Wo could perhaps .make it plainer, butrwe say here jtt.nct now that when the Demo cratic party cuts loose from its .old moorings on the coinage question and accepts as tinai the single standard as the only meas ure of value, we announce our selves as having lost all respect ?*r such a party even though we will continue to uttiliate with it.

Friday afternoon found a gay party of young ladies engrossed ill the' game of six-handed euchre, as the guests of Miss Lula Cooke Boykin at Iter home in Kirkwood, and the same night Miss Marie Zemp made memorable with a straw ride, given in honor of Miss Maggie Clulds.

Mrs. Edward B.Cantey issued invi tations to a reception in honor of Mrs. Ilill, of Washington, Ga., for last Sat urday evening, but on account of the inclemency of the weather few could attend. | Mr. and Mrs. Atliol Miller, of Co lumbia, are on a visit to Mr. and Mrs. Carrison.

Dear Sir: So much hits been said about the selection of anew Court House site, and there seiu s so many objections to location, and who might bo benefitted by this or that site, the question arises in the mind of many tax payers "why a new Court House at all?" Wo have a Court House now, that with the expenditure of ton thousand, at the very raost, woul'l make it as comfort; ? ble and convenient as any new building yon could put ui> for tho sum appropriated. *Tlio old Court House is a hind mark full of history and which is au object of interest to our citizens and .the many visitors during tho year: it is a building which should be kept for the purpose; the location is a splendid one aud4f the judge and attorneys tind it too fur on court days, it would be fur better to have con veyances run buck and forth from their offices during court terms, at a small expense; and if ttyo prisoners cannot be ex 1k>s<mJLjIo this public eye, let them be conveyed by wagon from the jail. Better build a new jail in the.rear of the present Court llouso, a building ot splendid old architecture, and as before mentioned a "historic land ma'k; ttpeud ten thousand dollars on improvements, which will renov ate, remodel and heat the build ing; and if necessary to enlarge, a few more thousand dollars will do it. Even if 000.00 is spent. on the old buildinir, we wijl then have a much bettor place than the smae amount ex pended tor a site and new build ing would give us. And last, but not least, we would keep a historic land mark, about the only one left in the place. Hold on to the old Cuurt House by jUI T. Edjnund Krumbbol*. Wo print the above letter very cheerfully. _ The reasoning of Mr. Krutnbols Is sound, although we have no idea that the sent imental feature of the letter will | appeal to many of the tax-payers, that being ooe of the attributes ttat has with us beoome largely *hop worn. The great 4de% with 'those who have business at the court house seems to be the sav ing of as many steps as possible in the prosecution of that busi ness. ' As to our personal sentiments in the matter, we may say ttmt a court boose a mile or miles from ns suits us 'better thun one in close proximity, but as a news paper man, we want it somewhat closer, in the interest of the city, we would like the house to remain in its present location for in its so remaining depends | the sooner establishment of that trolly line that we have been harping on almost from the first issue of the paper. With established no one would vitally or otherwise be interested in building- a new court house, and the project would fall of its own weight. As Mr. Krumbho'zremarks, an expenditure of a few thousand dollars would be all that is ne cessary to give us all kinds of a courthouse in the,way of re pairs, heating and if necessary, enlargement, while prisoners could be conducted to and frotn it in a Black Maria. However, we suppose that we will have % new court house, to be erected sometime, somewhere, but when or where, deponent sayeth not. Blimey Items. Dear People: Rev. J. E. Jonos, of Longtown, preached an excellent sermon for us at Blaney on Sunday evening. Mr. W. B. Albert, of Richland County, spent a few days with us lust week. We were all pleas ed to have him here. Miss Raebbie Wood is visiting relatives at Eastover. We hope that she will enjoy her visit. Mrs. Nannie Autry is spend ing the week with Mrs. J. \V." Wood. Mr. Brookes Wood spent last Saturday and Sunday in our sis ter county of Fairtield. Miss Lillie Ross has returned to her home after a visit to friends and relatives at Colum bia. . Miss Janie Wood, after spend ing several weeks very pleasant ly with friends below Camden, is also with us again. Mrs. Louise Smith is visiting relatives in Mainfe. Mr. C. Alonzo Bo wen has been very ill but is now better. The Ridge Side Sunday school has greatly improved in singing by the addition of Mr. Joe Hin son's tine voice. J. Mount Ziou Section. Aug. 29.?Owing to the contin ued wet weather much of the fodder full last week was badly damaged, and some of it entirely lost. Truly the farmers cannot have all the good things togeth er. Why is it that so many por sons that claim to be good jugdes of crops are reporting cott ju as being the best it has lor several years? In our humble opinion cotton is very poor. Not over two-thirds of a crop and in some instances only half, yet lots of so called good farmers are help ing to lower the price by making a false report. We have travel ed over parts of live different counties and have not seen any cotton that will make a full crop compared to the size of the weed. Mr. T. P. lirovrn lias the best fruited cotton we have seen, and wo believe the kind of fertilizers used by him made part, if not all the difference. It is a good idea for farmers to use tlie best of judgement in the kiud, quality tiiul amount of fertilizers used for therein lies the main secrets in netting w good yield. The protracted meeting con ducted by Uev. W. JS. Walters closed last Thursday night with seven members added to the church. Six by experiences and one by letter, und all of them girls too. Are all of the boys Christians, or have they wandered ho far away that the calling of the Holy spirit cannot Ik? heard? We fear it is the latter, for actions speak loudtr than words in some in stances. Mr. Jesse L. Myers has accept ed a )>osition with a Iviery stablo man of humtcr and will l>e glad to see any of his old friends when thoy want to '"swap plugs." Mr. E. T. McCoy is wearing a very t>m>4 now, the cause is the arrival of a bouncing boy at his kosss. The ordiance of baptism will be adtnlnistcsed at Mt. Ztoo the third Sunday evening. The Sunday ^School will also be re opened on that day. Why is it that the oonnty chairman of the executive com mittee did not furnish the man agers of the primsry election with the rules of the same. Al- i so blank forms of the oath they must take before they are quali fied to act as munagers? Is it not necessary, or is it because the primary is slowly drifting into the pats? We ask the ques tions for our own as well as other people's information. S. B. O.
