The Register has got its retraction from J.?hn Gary Evans, lie says that he ppoke ot the Register having been bought "inadvertently." The great railroad strike not cn!y affects ibo immediate vicinity through which the roads pass, bnt it will be felt all over this country. hi ? The death of M?j->r E. B. Murray removes a good ami u-ehil citizen. Lie was a lawyer of no ordinary ability, and always a prominent participant in public affiirs. Really, Governor TiUman and Senator Butler are becoming "friends, more cr loss." We are honestlrglad to sec the debates conducted on a higher plane, lue urst meetings ui the campaign tended to do no good, except to excite passion and prejudice. In our opinion, Mr. Tindal is making the best speecfics in the campaign, but they seem to produce no effect. "We hope that he will not be discouraged, however. John Gary Evans may get the nomination, and it is uuore than probable that he will, a? he says he wants "war"; but what Mr. Tindal says will do better by which to lire. We are glad to see that the Alamni are urging the trustees to adopt such conrses in the South Carolina College as will supply a need lelt for the pa3t few v ears Many young men would be glad to go there, but they cannot afllwd the time or the money 10 take a four your years' course. The matter of awarding certificates worked admirably at this same institution not a great while ago. A graet deal of philosophy is contained in Bill Arp's view that the South went on a big strike something over thirty years ago, and the ''yanks" . hired a lot of foreigners and put it down. Now these foreigners have gone on a strike to whip the North out, and it may have to call on the South to save the Republic. The South didn't hire foreigners to carry on its "strike," and it is not now worried with a "striking" element. We have no doubt the large corporations frequently oppress, but the statement made public by the Pullman company puts the strikers in a bad' light. It is a dangerous thing to wauder from the fundamental principles of right. It is a right of any man to decline to work tor what he thinks is not a fair compensation for bis labor, bat it is also the right of a citizen to decline to pay more thau what he thinks is a just compensation for an other's work. It is also the right of those not concerned to nse and enjoy their own property without interference from those who are dissatisfied with their own lot. If the strikers - had simply declined to work without destroying property and without trying to prevent others from working, nothing could have been said against them. 'Essentially Destructive.^" Mr. W, S. Hall offers as "a little friendly advice" this morning, to which we wish to reply without a "vinegar cruet or pepper box" even in sight of us. Mr. Hall says, 4-You love to speak of the policy of the present administration as being one of destruction." Yes, we have frequently borrowed and quoted the peculiarly appropriate expression of Congressman McLaurin, who was Governor Tillman's attorney general, that "Tillman's genius was essentially destructive." It is the "epithet", as Mr. Ilall is pleased to call it, n?ed by a Reformer, and which i? not abusive comiDg from his mouth, but when quoted iu these columns it at once becomes "sinister." We only mention this to show the supersentiveness of Mr. Hall and many other good men among the Reformers. Criticism is abuse, provided such criticism is made by a "hated anti". AVe can hardly hope to convince Mr. Hall that any of our criticisms of the policy of '"the preseut administration" are made free of abuse. It would be well, how-P.\y* V.im vomomKi**. fhfit t hp CTUi ^ IKJk UlUA iv ivuivwvvt *???? ??* ? language used in the Shell manifesto ^ was never before applied to a Democratic administration in this State; that campaigns of bitterness, excitement and vituperation such as we have had for the past lour years were unknown until the advcntof Capt. Tillman; that Democrats did not organize and hold cka a r?nr t^olr follfkcre until i Uiai ICS WAV UUll'v, VUV44 AV??V ft O %?UV*? the inauguration of the Reform movement. The clas3 of men called Conservatives have been as complete!v ostracised, politically,, as though they did not exist, and we do uot think, under all the circumstances, that anybody should be surprised to find them somewhat indifferent at present. As for harmony, it will bo well for Mr. ...j. | Jmi i r ! -m am i m mw bin mm Hall to consult the issues of :1ns paper during the spring of 189^, and lie will see what efforts it made to secure peace and harmony. "We destroyed the old ring", ftuys Mr. Uall. Arc you sure that a new ring has not taken its place? "We helped to break up the barrooms", he says. Arc you sure of it? w uicn js worse, uwiu wiuuiuj ui i blind timers? "Broke up the competition of the South Carolina College against the other educational institutions of the State". Do you think you hare done good by crippling & State institution? Granting that all ot the things claimed by Mr. Hall are of great benefit, could they not have been accom plisbed without paung the price that the people of the State have had to pay? ?ll?rbe Improving;. Gen. Ellerbe is developing into a first rate stump speaker, and is convincing the people that he is a good aatch for John Gary Evans. He is beginning to make it very warm for Senator Evans, and he threw some ' -.1? if! .x preitv neary rocss ai mugsuw; iast Saturday. He charges that Evans was elected in 1S8S by the anti-Tillmanites. According to the logic of some Reformers, if this is true, it ought to settle ihe defeat of Mr. Evans. Surely if the mere suggestion by an anti that he favors the nomination of a Reformer would cast suspicion upon the sincerity and genuineness of his Reform character, then the election of o T?a4V?vmf>f tliA .onfiq at. flnv time M A%VJ.VI uiv? VJ ?? in the past ought not simply to jeopardize his election, but be a sure and certain forecast of h's defeat. Then Evans, so Ellerbe says, voted against Clemson College in 1S8S. This institution whei her justly or not is claimed as a monument to Reform, and it would seem that opposition to it in 188S wonld now be an unpa: donable sin. But the most seriou-i charge that - Ellerbe makes is that ttvans ana Stanvarne Wilson, "two little lawyers/' are floating on Tillman's coattail as he goes from place to place over the State, and that he (Ellerbe) is the choice of the people for Governor, but he may not get the nomination?because? (listen! hear it!)?because Larry Gantt, Evans, Wilson and others have formed a ring. Think of it! In this, the very beginning of the Reform career, the movement conceived, organized and supported for the avowed purpose of smashing rings, now finds that it is ruled and conKu o rinor- the vftrv fchinor that Vl VAIV/U v; v J ' . 0 men bit the dust, perspired, hollered, talked and fought to destrey. Can it be that the Reform physicians, who have advertised themselves as specialists for the treatment of "political leprosy" and have felt their elation over their successful treatment, now discover that they themselves are victim a of the disease? It is indeed a very sad fate that Mr. Ellerbe, who has so unselfishly devoted himself to the eradication of rings, should now find that a ring has been adroitly drawn around him to keep him in the Peedee swamps. We do not know if it is true, but he says so. Parenthetically, we may say that it is no fight of ours. It is strictly a fight between the "ring smashers", and they can do their own smashing. It is quite interesting, however, to stand at a distance and watch the blmva made on the ring, and specnla e who deals the hardest lick with his hammer. A COMMUNICATION. Crops Good?Politics Bad. Messrs. Editors: Cotton is good. Old corn can, with favorable seasons, make half crop. Yonng corn doing well. Mr. Jason Hall has a fine crap of both corn and cotton, his corn planted late. Mr. W. T. McCrorey, some one informed me, *>aid he would or wanted to make 25 bales on 25 acres It's Hue. 1 near mac air. juave niggins has a fine crop of corn on bottom land. Mr. Frank Stewart has an ex cellent crop of cotton and corn Mr. Tom Stewart also has a fine crop. The cotton crop at Mitford is the best I have seen there for years. Mr. E T. Gayden has 85 acres of corn and cotton in one field that is excellent. The corn will make 15 bushels per Ai-rllnoiMr coacnno TTio rriftAn >V J.vJ-1 V/iUHK*i J WV*WV*?W. *?AV VVVWVM ousht to average one thousand pounds per acre. The crop has been worked almost perfectly. Those people who think farming "on the ebb should go and see Garden's crop. Mr. J. B. Gladden has a splendid crop of cotton. It don't look as if the iand could do more. His corn has been well cultivated and is good for this season. . Mr. Gladden moved to Mitford this year, having rented Mr. R. W. Featherston's place. Mr. Gladden is a good neighbor and citizen, such as mould the sentiment for good wherever they might be. He is also an energetic aud progressive- farmer. Mr. <Jonn JtLenson nas rnovea 10 iviis. Arledges place this year. He has a fine crop of cotton and corn, as good as early planting. Good cultivation and poor land will make. Mr. Henson isaisoa thrifty, painstaking farmer. I hear the neighbors speak of him in the highest terms, they say other men of the stamp of Messrs. Gladden and Henson will always be cordially received at Mitford. rrrAit/) OKAIIf nftllfinc Our VUC >YUiU rtuvuv ^vuwvw. \ZW4 |/vv pie arc very unsettled?the whites, it strikes me that if we would take the pains to understand each other, all would be well. Any condition for good or evil will evidently affect all white people alike. Our surroundings, avocations, &c., are identified, one with another, so that success is only assured when our purposes are the same. The country is ours, through the blood of our ancestors. It cost too much and the future prom lses too mucn ior us to aiviue, ana jci an alien race come in and dominate the movement, morals, etc. We Lad a sample of that once. Why, even the negro women would abuse a better class of negroes who wanted to join the white people in securing an honest government; insult our women and children; incite the negro men to violence and publicly interfere with elections, I have heard of your having a case in point once in your town wnen one Ot YUCU" UU^CUS, a. uiarc Kentuckian, knocked one of them out of the Court House yard, into the street. Things would be more offensive now iban then, because our people were all, comparitively all, of the same mind in politics. The negroes are here among us. it seems, to / * I HI' I ! IIIIBII IHfl Wl'miri 111^ i !! !!!,> stay. Thev are no more fit (o rule ; Ibis government now than then. Our j only duty to them is to treat them ; fairly, in such a way as to make the best citizen ont of them you can, the most useful to lii-: race and country. Encourage him to be honest, truthful fli'l 111? mor:il sraudard. Now if we would obtain this end. white su- j premacy is indispensable. As I said I in the beginning vrc should under* j stand each other better and will add j now, or we will awaken to the situa-; tion too late. I have heard Straight-j outs talk right freely on the political situation recently- They claim they are in favor of the Reform measures and only oppose the leaders of the movement. That they are willing to vote the regular Democratic ticket if the Reformers will pat forward their best men. It is very unfortunate fur them tosoiorget tuemselre8 a3 to vote against their measures because of objections to men. But such seems to be the case, and we have to reconcile the matter. Others claim that they will stand ofl' and not participate in any election. That's unfortunate too, lor when they had the reins 1 the majority would obey all orders, and if orders so expressed it would have butted the court house all day. As we will have to meet this case, by whom and bow are these issue9 to be met? By the Reformers standing solidly on the intentions of the Reform movement when it assumed working shape. The first stpp towards that end would be to recall the Iieform August Convention, for unless it was in an emergency where time was limited, there never was a good reason for a conventi?" among enlightened people, especially since the straightonts realize that they are in ihe minority and have arrived at the sensible conclusion not to put out a ticket, Then it would be wise and prudent for the Reformers to put forward their candidates aud invite all white men to come in and assist in assorting, each voter pledging himself to a'?jde the result. This is an entirely *afc plan. It's the only way - - - - i. . y\f ?!\Q t-j ascertain uie uuui^c ui un Ii' this August Convention i< carried on, even this choice of the Reformers will not be known, because theieare Reformers who will not pai ticipate in a caucus e.?uveu:ion, as the people will not turn out and vote, and a few leaders will manage the convention, as is always the case; an 1 lust, bin not least, because it's a?a:nst the spiiit of the Reform movement. Now I would not ic misundersiood here, for even if this convention i? carried on, after we have acted our part in trying to prevent it, it would be our duty to i,o to the county primaries aud vote, and vote the regular Democratic ticket at the general election. But we are lemiuded aud ask, how long are these inconsistencies of a giand undertaking to continue, and Trkat tujil fh,> rpsnlf bp? Aft?i* we tt..?, ..... have?.spoken the responsibility will rest .with others who arc more fearless and courageous! Now, Mr. Editor, i believe every 1 one has"the utmost confidence in our county chairman. Two 5 ears ago I whs so charmed with his fair dealings with factions in the county that I , was constrained to say, his patriotism was beautifully rounded. My admiration for him has not diminished, in fact it has increased sitic<*. I have recently b en told that he saul in< pia:tounhad bet-n u!mo.-t reduced to one plank--"white supremacy." A (Jeruian philotopht*r once >aid: "The two in- st beautiful ihiiijs in the unives>e are the stariy h'*;iv?ns stud i!?e sc?>11nn-nt of dut> i;? t e i iMmn soui.''

I am proud to see tlia announcement of W. S. Hall, Jr , for School Commissioner. lie is well equipped for the office, and his neighbors regard his character as unimpeachable. Rotation iti office was one of the plunks in the Reform platform of 1S90. c. s. f. Mitford, S. C., July i, 1S94. MR. TT. S. nALL REPLIES TO "OLD AXTI." Don't Salt His Views to be Nominated by "Old Anti"?He Reasons that it AVould Mean Defaat?-Favors a Compromise which Might Benefit Keforme s in Future?Says that the Scriptures say that the Feople will Uphold our Present Kepresentalives Against the Charges of the Antis?"Gives The News and Herald some Friendly Advice." Mr. Editor: I notice i < your last week's issue an artic c from Gladdeirs Grove written by "Old Anti" in which he sugges's several names for different offices, and claims that they would be acceptable to the A nil's; among them occurs my name, which ought to give me the right to make a few remarks and to offer some advice ji-5 lift (AntH has done. For the honor he conferred on we I thank him very kindly, for I know that if lie is a resident of Gladden's Grove he certainly knows that I am a reformer from principle and not for office, and knowing the fact he \et selects me, with others named, as conservative men, not that he thinks I would abate one jot or tittle the demands for reform, but that I would act in such a manner as not to be offensive. But does not <;0:d Anti" know that the fact that we were suggested by an anti discounts our chances for election, for ? i o* linomico f )intr> jinf UVU JC??UIIS. i?t, uvwujv kuowiusr as we!] would think that we were not staunch reformers. 2nd, because the majority think it has the right to select its standard-bearers, uuless a c .mpromise has been agreed upon, a thing I would prefer to a split, as the two factions are so nearly equal in the county, provided there was some plan bv which we could se cure compromise in the future in case the reformers should be in the minority. Now I would like to say to my friend, "Old Anti," that I am perfectly satisfied that the reformers are anxious that all the white people should act in c ncert as we had done from 7G to 'lM. The antis had their way then and we pulled with them; the reformers have their way now, and the antis should pull with us. It will not do for the antis to stand idly by and not help us now. Suppose the antis were a* much in the majority as the reformers are, and the reformers should stand idly by and let the antis m.anaorn the election, could anyone imagine the abuse that would be heaped upon the reformers for acting so? And the worst of it would be that they would deserve it too. Let reason and justice control you and do not give way so much to your spitful feelings. Another point in '-Old Anti's" article I would like to notice. ' He quotes that an intelligent or prominent (I have not the article, so I quote from memory) Tillmanite said, "Our present Representatives were not worth a d If a prominent re- ' former was so imprudent a? to make such a remark in private, i;01d Anti" should not have been so imprudent as to publish it. Such abuse prevents harmony. Now I submit that our present representatives will compare favorably with those we have, had since 7i?. and their masters, the people, will uphold them against the charges of the antis. The scriptures say so T1?rt ninn fil In* Anti" arc his choice: no.v suppose some one should say, The men suggested by ' Old Anti" :;: e not worth a d , and I suppose lie would have as good grounds for the remark a; the Tillmanlte had. You see at once what it leads to. Gentlemen, stop your abuse of each other; it is demoralizing and degrading. Now, Air. Editor, if you will permit me, I will offer you a little friendly advice. You love to speak of the r.vacmif- nrlmirn?tra<mn ftS yUUV,Y Ui - being one of destruction, using the expression in a sinister manner. The epithet is eminently appropriate and we are proud of the fact. 1st, we destroyed the old ring; 2nd, we destroyed the Coosaw monopoly; 3rd, we broke up the combination that had bottled up Port Iloyal harbor; 4th, we helped to break up the barrooms; 5th, broke up the competition of the f'outh Carolina College against the other educational institutions of the State, and in their places we hare (or had before the storm last f.?LL) increased the phosphate business, opened up Port lioval to direct trade with Europe, established Clemson i ollege, ami will soon have a college at Rock Uili for the girls, which we are in hopes will meet with the same success that Clemson ha?, and had it not been for the unremitting opposition to our efforts at reform, the taxes would have been reduced, which by the way, is a small matter as our taxes were not so onerous as unevenly distributed, and I am satisfied that a good deal of the nrmncifinu wirs nrninntari hv thfi know i i- ~J ledge that we would make a better showing: if let alone. The question naturally arises, what could we not have accomplished if we had had the hearty co-operation of theantis? Mr. Editor, it is very much out of place for a county paper to be as bitter as yours has been. Throw away your vinegar cruet and pepper box and take a little soda, and seo if Fairfield does not harmonise a great deal faster. Mr. Editor, we would like to appeal to your reason, and ask you to come out in a manly way and state what you object to in the reform measures, and state frankly what you want. Win you do it, and leave out abuse and flings? ItcspectfuHv, W\ S. Hall Mitford, S. C , July 2,1894. MOSSY DALE. Crops Better?New Postoflice?Minister Sick.

Recent Wonderful Discoveries. No mystery has ever compared -with that of human life. It has been the leading subject of professional research and study In all ages. But notwithstanding this fact it is not gener ally known that the seat />/T of Hfeislocatedii^the^u^ Z J ^ear the base j? thj;*" LV J JJU1UUU Ui WJUO / nervous sys\ \sss^ / tern that even \ / i:he prick of a \ / :aeeale will \ / I causo Instant j J j death. Kecent discoveries have demonstrated that all the organs of the body are under the control of the nerve centers, located in or near the base of the brain, and that when these are deranged the organs vrhich they supply with nerve fluid are also deranged. When it is remembered that a serious injury to the spinal cord will cause paralysis of the body below the injured point, because the nerve force is prevented by the Injury from reaching the paralyzed portion, it will be understood how the derangement of the nerve centers will cause the derangement of the various organs which they supply with nerve force. Two-thirds of chronic diseases are due to the imperfect action of the nerve centers at the base of the brain, not from a derangement primarily originating in the organ itself. The great mistake of physicians in treating these diseases Is that they treat the organ rather than the nerve centers which are the cause of the trouble. Dr. FnunniH Miles, the celebrated spe clalisfshas profoundly studied this subjectfor over 20 years, and has made many Important discoveries In connection with it, chief among them being the facts contained in the above statement, and that the ordinary methods of treatment are wrong. All headache, dizziness, dullness, confusion, pressure, blues, mania, melancholy, insanity, epilepsy, St. Vitus dance, etc.. are nervous diseases no matter how caused. The wonderful success of Dr. Miles' Restorative Nervine is due to the fact that it is based on the foregoing principle.
