Some one iu mercy tell the Xeics and t'ourier wj}0 is **tne greatest mmg Republican. If the Abbeville Press and Banner is certain what it is ami what it is not, politically, we should be glad to knowit. Cleveland Democracy st\ s the register is not what the rd'oimers waut. The Register wants Democracy in no form it strikes us. Ax exchange thinks a man is henpecked in the highest conception of the word when he cannot claim a full propriety ownership in his own rheu- j matism. Dispensaries and blind liters await alike the decision of the Supreme Court. Strange to say the victory of he one, does not mean the defeat of Vuiy.i. Larry Gaxtt's sheet is bine with the outpouringa of his spleen. Securely anchored to Irby's coat-tail, Larry shells Bowden, Shell and McLaurin as only Larry can. What must your candidate champion this year? Prohibition, high license or the dispensary, the constitutional convention, the black district outrage, or the subsidized press, or just refawm. An exchange has contrasted the Attorney Generals ready opinion upon the essential points of the spensary law and the fearfully long lime the Supreme Court is taking to consider the same thing. Some paper has headed an appeal for support of Stokes, k'a bugle call in the First." Kindly let us have no more horn-blowing for Stokes than he will do himself. He won't be reserved in this matter we promise yon. The Greenville Xeics remarking upon its ignorance of the tricks and tradesof Reform says: "We are not sufficiently iuitiated in Refawm, having taken only an apprentice degree, enabling us to wear the white apron of innocency and simplicity." Many there are who Trill be delighted to know that ex-governor Fitzhugh Lee is bard at work preparing a life of his uncle, Gen. R. E Lee. The book will doubtless be the mAtf /?Amr.]o!D ? n thot iUVC U ill UVIU11 kUUl will ever be produced on the life and work of Lee. Apropos the coming encampment of the Grand Army of the Republic at Atlanta, Ga., the JS'eics and Courier asks this pertinent question: 8-Will Atlanta entertain the black 'boys in blue' as well as the while 'boysL-in ^ blue"7? And jfjiatr-witTt^Twhite " "bovsjyLiuTg* become offended? Congressman* Strait, the New York Sun says, has called Fourt Assistant Postmaster General Maxwell a liar and a puppy. A most dignified manner for ose representing a States dignity. An adaption of the present loose regard for polite epithets in this State we hope will not be tolerated at Washington. We congratulate "Johnny" Iluuter on Lit appointment as United States Marshall for (he district of Sontb Carolina. We are personally acquainted with Sheriff Hunter, of Lancastei. He has always been a faithful and a fearless man in the discharge of any and all duties, and is the right man in the right pine?. Tiio^e iterated and reiterated expres-ions "tool of Wall Street," "oligarchy," e:c., ought really be allowed to enjoy a little innocuous desuetude. How many of our esteemed brethren who use them in season and out of season know their significance. They have tickled the ears of the dear people long enough, give us something new. Miss Virginia I). Youxg, of this State, speaking for Southern women in general, and we infer her own State's women in particular, says: "Women do not vote, but will ere long!" South Carolina has always pmhodiod in its men and women the highest conception of chivalry and lovliness. Consequently she "will be last, if ever, to take this step. Tiie staunch old Southern paper, the yews and Courier, turns over to her, with welcome, all the slory Atlanta imygetlrom her G. A. R. encamp ment. Such frateraizing between plundered and plunderers it abhors, and we veutnre to say it voices the sentiment of ail the State. Imagine these bummers holding high carnival in South Carolina?the State they devastated. / aaiapo?a??i i iiiir??aw?aM?m Hill cannot flatter himself that in | defeating Hornblowers and Peckham's nominations he ha? gained a victory over the President. New York was to have filled the position these gentlemen were nominated for, but after Mr. HilFs uncalled-for opposition Mr. Cleveland neatly turns the tables by making him answerable to the State he represents for the choice falling elsewhere. We want nosuchpiecs of promposity at R. R. Hemphill in our governor's chair, no such saure and debonair a specimen of humanity as Jay G. Evans, nor yet that gentle unassuming Sampson Pope. "We vraut some one who will look nglv, not only when a spy is arrested or when the Supreme Court makes a righteous decision, but who will look ugly all the time. That man is Titnraerman. We are certainly interested in Columbia's progress, and especially in her municipal matters, which so closely concern her progress. We will be pardoned, however, in quietly smiling over that curious meetiug of the committee of one hundred on Monday evening. Evidently the Columbians want "something" badly, but it appears as if they all are in a state of bewildered perplexity as to what they really do want. No oxe should lose the opportunity of hearing Gen. Jno. B. Gordon lecture in Columbia ou. the 2nd of March. Tl>ft man wKa 1 f h/* lact Hoinprfltp AUV ii ?T l->\s AWV* WiiV/ charge at Appomattox?and led it net as a forlorn hope, but with the same dasn aud enthusiasm as iu the earlier and brighter dav? of the struggle, now charms the succeeding generation, and fires again by his grand portrayal the hearts of the actors in and survirors of?the last days of the Confederacy. The many outpouring* of heart and soul among the Yankees orer the sad fate of the Kearsage is something pitiable to contemplate. To us shd was an emblem of that craft and cunning which is found as the distinguishing characteristic of a Yankee wherever met. That poetic justice, which is said to follow and eventually overtake the underhanded and dishonest, we regret to say failed in this particular. We could hare wished for the ship a leas peaceful end. Between IzUr and Stokes in the first district democrats can have bat one choice. Izlar is a Cleveland Democrat, standing squarely upon the platform of the Chicago convention. Stokes is an Ocala Democrat?if any one knows what that political freak is ?and itands on a platform as ualike the Chicago or Democratic platform as the Republican. The one runs as a representative of and a worke;- fur the interests of the district in which he lives. The other runs as a representative ?f Tillmauism and as a worker for?none other interests that hii own. As a natural result Izlar mint be elected. Sexator White's nomination and confirmation to the Supreme Court is a happy solution by the President of a matter which has been productive of much trouble. Mr. White will grace the position he is chosen to fill, being a man of brilliant parts and of especially sound, legal teaming. The South should rejoice in his selection, giving as it does representation of the South proper on the bench of the Supreme Court. In addition, it is commendatory from the fact that it in-1 f Bses into our supreme uourt younger j blood. The Justices heretofore appointed were men of advanced ages. Cleveland has again done the right thing. There was ab*ut twenty-two or twenty-three criminal cases in Court last week. Out of this entire number only one conviction was secured. Several were continued, several nol prossed, and there was no bill found in two or three cas";s, and three plead guilty. This mean something. IIow is imhatput of a, whole week's work only one conviction arises, and the finding in each and every case where an acquittal was the result seemed to create 110 surprise on the public mind? We could hear expressions indicative ?f an acquittal in a good many ca?es even before Court. There is bound t? be a fault somewhere. And if the public are not expecting a conviction even before Court it musi mean that the testimony won't warrant a conviction. And right here we venture the suggestion that trial justices look more closely into the preparation of cases before they send them to the ~ ^ ? l ?Tt aojicuor witn?ut suiuuicui uause. ^ costs a lot of money to run the County Court six days, and no case should be sent up without good and sufficient testimony. The Solicitor cannot convict unless the evidence of guilt is furnished him. Decadence Universal. Hewitt's speech before the Southern Society in New York recently we believe to have been out of place?exceedingly untimely to say the least. However, there is no denying his assertion that the present Southern representation in both houses of Congress is not what it was before the war in point of intellect. Especially in the Senate says the orator are the present representatives but as pigmies compared to those intellectual giants?Cal| houn and others?who once reprej eentcd the South. This is undoubtedly true and the New York World says in I commenting on the same that it could ! be said with equal truth that the class I of Northern representatives in ConIgress are far skort in intellectual ! capacity of their predecessors of j "WW \Tr. Hewitt. I I r-YCUl v ciuvv. . ? , i the orator of the occasion, did not give expression to this latter fact, was not because he did not know it or did not [ think it, but because lie was addressj ing the Southern Society and uaturally dwell upon Southern affairs. ARE YOU MADE rnisable by Indigestion, Constipation, Dizziness, Loss of Appetite, Yellow Skin? Shi leh's Vitalizer is a positive care. * MR. GLADDEN' TO MR. HALL. "A Litt'c More Cider Tuo." Mr. Editor: In rep It to Mr. W. S. Hairs piece in your paper of the 14th, I would say that I expected to stay out of the farce, as W. S. Hall calls ir, as it was only some small malice amongst the young men and clerks of our neighborhood (as I thought.) but as the old grey heads, and others, are at the head of it, I must say something in defence. It is nothing but spite from beginning to end. The report that we were selling cider is correct, but the report that we were selling cider with alcohal in it, or cider that would "make drunk'- is untrue. We were selling cider purchashed from a 1 - 1- 1 - t :*1. TTTOf rCilUUiC UUU&tJ ?im luu it m.k~ ranty that it had been analyzed and did not come under the statute preventing the sale of intoxicating beverages in South Carolina. The matter has been before Trial Justice Jones and iiolprossed. Xow, Mr. W. S. Hall says you give an account of the trial of Mr. James A. Gladden before Tria. Justice Jones for selling intoxicatingcider. Ja6. A. Gladden never has been tried, and I doirt see how you could try a man without a case. Mr. IIa.ll seems to think that there hai been injustice done to Mr. Will Barber, but I don't think s?. The man argued his own case and was not interfered with in the examination of his witneises. After the examination of all the wit nesses was over, I said to him, "the next time you go to act Tillman spy you fix up rour case a little better." I beg Mr.' Barber's pardon, for calling him a spy, as it seems that some others have done the spying and he has d?ne the reporting for them. 1 have nothing against Mr. Will Barber. I have always been a true friend to the family, and I think if there is a Christian and a gentleman in Chester County, his fathei- is one. I would not ?ay or do anything to injure one of his children without a cause. I think there is nothing lower down and meaner than to pick up every little report that you hear about a man, youag men especially, and report it in the papers ? l ?iu? vV 4C TTfi 11 enr* as uemg cut; num. ??. ?... that it is more than the good people of this neighborhood can stand to allow the guilty to pass. Does the State witnesses or trial justice say that any one is guilty ?n the preliminary? Is a man guilty because r?u and your followerssavso? I w#uld say no. Mr. W. S. Ila'll goes on and says Mr. James Gladden will not deny this, that and the other. Why did he not come to the trial, as he calls it, and bring hi3 witnesses with him and prove those things and not leave it to a mare boy. If he was too timid to come, I think he ought to keep his mouth shut now, and not say "didn't we kill the bear", after he had been killed. Mr. W. S. Hall knows exactly where I atand and he may think that lie can force me into the line with him to do his bidding, but he will be very much mistaken. I am one of the old true and tried straightout Democrats. I heard there was some drunkenness or drinking in the neighborhood on Christms:. day, and I also heard that some of them came to our store drinking on . i,nf y hf>arrl from them VUI IQLLLiCfco vie* y i ?-rw*v A MV??> on Tuesday and there was no drunkeu;iess. The liquor furnished by the dispensary had given ?ut and they had nothing but cider. I never saw a man d -unk on that cider in my life, and it has been proven by the State witnesses it will not make drunk. Now, Mr. W. S. Hall, I am not in my dotage yet, and if I was I would not call 011 you to manage my business for me; so I will ask you and your followers very politely not to bother my business "any more, and if that will not do, I will order you, and if that don't do, I will make you. Will Barber could tell if he would where s#me of the liquor came from that caused the drunkenness at the mill. I think he saw a fight caused from dispensary liquor before they went to Gladden's. There was liquor at different places in the neighborhood and all that were drunk at the mill and store went there drunk, yet Gladden's cider made them drunk. Better lock your cider and water up for fear some'one comes and drinks after he is drunk and it will be blamed on y9ur water or cider. I think this is one of the most ma * i- ? J? licious pieces ever was written num any neighborhood, after the indictment had been proven to be false from beginning to end, by all of the State witnesses, except by the men named in the report of the preliminary. For #ne mau to get up and press in two others and say the trial was a farce, }ast as well say they all swore lies, trial justice and all, and we are the best and only truthful men in the community. Don't right me over my son's (Jas! A. Gladdon's) shoulders'; came straight forward, for you know all the time that my son was doing business for me and did as I told him. There are too many StfOi'TgQsters times getting up and picking up every little slanderous thing they can against men just in order that their names may be seen in public print. Mr. Ilall is attempting to make it appear that my son was guilty of this charge, but that the trial justice was charitable enoujh to let it pass as a mere warning; therefore he calls it a farce. Does he mean to say Trial Justice .Tones, upon whom alone the case depended, (for there was nojury) would forget his oath of office so far as not to punish the guilty, but wouici all*w "him to pose as the innocent" even to the disappointment of the best men of the community? Does not Mr. Hall know that if Mr. Jones wonkl pervert the purposes of his court, and should violate his solemn oath of office, as Mr. Hail's charge implies that his commission would be revoked? Or now does not Mr. Hall know that Mr. Jones discharged his duty juithfully and fearlessly? If so, why d?es he make the charge. If it had net been proven undoubtedly, by reliable witnesses, that there was no cause for a trial, this Justice would never have rendered a false verdict, as a mere warning. Now I have said nothing in my communication but what any farmer or plough boy can underhand, and if any of them should happen to find their name signed to it, by any hook or crook, they would know what they were signing. Now, Mr. Hall, I am done and will not pay any attention to your slanderous pieces in public print. A word to the unwise is sufficient. Jesse. A. Gladden*. Some Campaign Effusions.

The fire was caused by smoking tbe meat. It is a great loss. Owing to the lack of wind, and the rain having wet tbe other buiidings, they were not burned. The mules were turned out to avoid danger from the fire. There was rain on the night ?f the 11th and also on the 12th. Miss Augusta Salyer is on a visit to the family of iiev. Jas. R.

Not only has he a sufficiency of fruit for his own use, but he could furnish a market, if there was only one convenient. Colds are quite prevalent, and the general complain is, "I have grippe."

Watts, Presiding Judge: The gi and jury for this year beg to submit the lollowing report to your Honor: We hare erimined all bills handed us by the Solicitor snd passed on the 6ame. The committee appeinted by us to examine the County Jail report that everything is kept in a neat and business-like manner. The building is made comfortable and all conditions conduciTe of the health ot the inmate* are apparent. We have found everything perfectly satisfactory. We recommend that the County Commissioners put in ten panes ot gUss, and that the yaid be raised with ?and so as to carry water from the door of the building. The committee on the Poor llou*e report everything kept in good ordor, and the inmates well cared for, and report the following property on haua: 10 hogs and 6 pigs, 35 busheU ol peas, in the hull and shelled, 3 cows, 2 yeae1: t u i ... in Tfvr* -i 1 uaii, MUUUv iV3(UU UUUUfCO 1UUder, 1,000 lbs. shacks, 2 males, in fine fix, 85 bushels cotton seed, 200 bushels corn.

The number of inmates are: wites?3 males, 4 female*; blacks?5 males, 6 females. We recom mend the removal of Fannie Taylor, at her own request, and are satisfied she is able to maintain herself. We wish to call the attention *f the County Commissioners to a bridge over Taylor's Creek, near Mr. X. A. Peay's, a bridge at Dutchman's Creek and a bridge on the Camden road near Mr. Peaj's. Also to recommend mat a railing be placed arcHfid a gully near R. N. McMactors place, and the road passing iurongh Cohen's and Linder's place, called "tue Black Jack road, needs crosslaring. The toad near Brown's Bridge needs the crosslaying repaired. The road from Macken's to the Columbia road needs working, and it is reported that there is no overseer for this road. We call afention of the County Commissioners to the fact that Mrs. Allen, a widow lady, has reported to us that she is suffering with a cancer and asks for medical and pecuniary aid, and request yonr Honor to order a physician sent to her today, m her request is for prompt and urgent medical attention. We have appointed Juo. D. Harriso?, P. M. B. liolleyand W. B.
