The delegates to the Sunday School Convention remarked upon the beauty of our public square and our good sidewalks, arid we are t.ild that they also spoke or the remarkable tact that in as pretty a town as this that everybody should empty his trash and old papers ou the public square. They seemed to think that the loo*e papers and trash ought to be put in boxes or barrels and carried off. As thev returned thanks for the i.ospltallty which was extended to them, we excuse them )<>r the remarks about trash on our public square.

REFORMERS INDEED, Nome Very Eulogistic ItemnrkH About 1 Our Reform t'onjf re?tNinen?The Alliance Orenn Seems Anxious to Take Care of Them. National Economist. i Among the members of the Fifty-third Cnnaress there are none ahler or brighter ? than John L. MoLaurln. Dr. T. J. Strait and A. C. l.atimer, from the State of South Caro- ( Una. -Mr. McLanrin was a member of the , I Ftfiy-second Congress, elected to fill the un: expired term caused by the death Gen. Stack- r > house. Messrs. Latimer and Strait are new . members. These sentlemen went home alter ' I the inaugural and waited a couple of weeks Jj f for the new Administration toget settled in , i olllce, and for the crowd of oflice-seekerts to I c'ispcrse. before pressing their claims for the ? > patronage belonging to their respecllve dis- ' triets. When the Fourth-Assistant Postmasi ter General was apoolnted and commenced to get down to business with his axe, making H i Republican heads fly rights nnd left, these r members of Congress returned with the purpose of getting as many of their Democratic ? constituents appointed to office as possible. * About the 27th ultimo, Mr. Latimer and Dr. h Strait, called upon Fourth Asslstant'Postmas- ^ ler General Max well for the purpose of mak- ^ ing his acquaintance and presenting their , claims. Immediately opon seeing them Mr. f. Maxwell addressed Dr. Strait as Senator, and g lint of the Fifty third Congress and told them lie wanted some information in regard to the Peoples* party Congressmen from South Car- ? olina, whose names he had marked upon the d llt-t. They looked, and behold the names of John Ii MeLaurln, A. C. Latimer and T. J. Strait bore the fatal mark. They saw at a V, glance that Mr. Maxwell liad mistaken Dr. ij strait lor some Senutor and had exposed to ,, them a plot to rot? them of the patronage to which they are justly entitled. They were J, Indignant at the outrage aD(j made ttie air /j hum in true South Carolina sty le. Mr. Lat- " liner informed Mr. Maxwell that he was Lati- ?? mer and that his companion was Dr. Strait, " and that the information be had received was ult-rly tnlse, and demanded the author. tl Tills Mr. .Maxwell refused to give. They lm- " mediately laid the matter before their colleagues from south Carolina. Senator Irby, Congressman Taibert and Congressman Shell, who are members of the Alliance, and w are also Democrats. Then followed u call upon the President and the members of the h Cabinet, ann the heads of the various departments, and the Democracy of these men Is , so well established that It cannot again be questioned, and should the Administration retuse to maut them the patronage to which ' they are entitled, It will have to give some other excuse. 1 Our reporter did not get a direct interview t> from these three men but gathered the fol- J. lowing notes from a general conversation had P with them: I* It was learned that Congressmen Latimer, 5 Strait, and McLanrln, of South Carolina, had " been blacklisted at thePostofflce Department. * Some interested persons had informed the Postmaster-General that these gentlemen H were third part.yites. It is hard to under- h stand how anyone could be so utterly lost to "J truth and honor to make such statements. All of these gentltmen are Democrats, noml- JL1 nated in a fair tight at the Democratic primaries, and had Republican nominees opposing them at the general election. South Carolina Is an Alliance State, but she Is Democratic to the core, and the only bolt from Democracy R; was In 1690, when the Haskell element tried j " to combine with the Republicans and defeat !" the regular Democratic nominees. Messrs. Latimer and Strait are members of the Alii- zr. ance, and Mr. MeLaurln was Attorney-Gene- rl rai ot the State at the time of his election as PJ successor to Mr. Stackhouse, and all of them Tf openly anil Ooiuty proclaimed meir ianu m -j lite aims, principles, and doctrines ot the Al- ,P llance, ana if men of this kind are to be pro- * scribed and placed in the third party, then '? South Carolina, and most of the Southern j" and Western Slates, are there. 08 Mr. Latimer said: "The mission of the Alliance is not partisan , it is entirely independent of third parly, Republican, or Democrat; every member is lelt Iree to work In his own particular party for the demands of the Alliance. We are ( determined represeu.atives of our people, tb and will be true to principle. This injustice ] Is not to us, but to the good, honest, nard- er working people whom we represent. The ru people should mark and never forget the cl< slanderers who linger here around Washing- th ton, alter having been repudiated by the peo pie, to spread poison and endeavor to break |n down the Influence of the men who over- tai whelmlngly defeated them in a Democratic j primary." Hi J Is It an attempt to throttle < be Alliance by < making it the scapegoat of the third party? V| The Economist knows nothing of the local j fl^ht and conditions which prevail In 8outh ga Caiolina, but it bas abundant evidence to ar Justify the conclusion that tnese three men < are able aud sincere men, thoroughly aevoieu iw to tbe cause ol the people, aud tbat tbey j showed more devotion to the Democratic par- W( ty than any other class of men, beoause tbey j believe In tbe Alliance demands and bave lD tbem engrafted into tbelr Stale Democratic j platform, and bave a full set of State officers 8C] elected upon that platform, and yet, wben 8|( the National Democratic Convention refused ; to Incorporate them In tbe national platform, vj 1 bey stood by the party and tooft the field j and fought for Cleveland and against third party tendences in South Carolina, and it was due to the labors of ibese men, and others (a like them, that the membership of tbe Alii- j ance of South Carolina dla not go into the 80 People's party. Alllancemen may question j the good policy of tbelr course, but no Dem- jn ocmt can ever question their Democracy. j Hon. John D. McLaurln Is a lawyer of marked ability, and although young bad er achieved the remarkable distinction of being gf, chosen Attorney-General of bis State as a ( Democrat before be took position in favor of an the absolute.lustlce and falrnw-s of the Alliance dematids. He has never changed or wavered in h 1m Democracy, but he has made enemies of those Democrats who oppose the Alliance. His crime Is In the eyes of the . aristocracy thai would fatten without effort 1 with one hand in the public crlo, or by class Ke, privileges and favors, und he may well ex- ' pect tbelr opposltloo. 80 Dr. T. J. Strait Is a man of strong character, P1^ liberal education and remarkable Judgment and discrimination. He, too, has committed 'f1 a crime In the eyes of a certain class. He A<; beat tbe "pet" of the last Congress, Hon. J. , J J. Hemphill, who was Chairman of the Cuuj- ly, mlttee on the District of Columbia, who had J lepresented this district in Congress for ten years. Dr. Strait beat blm after a thorough a' Joint canvass of the District, speaking to the ?\ people face to fac e. Dr. Strait Is a patriot . 1 and will discharge the trust reposed iu him n.e with conscientious care and fidelity, and 8l! those who expect class favors and dlscrlmlr nations know that they will have to wait till be quits Congress or tight blm, and they are .J commencing the fight early, *S1. Hon. A. C. Latimer is a young man of rare ; ability and great .Jorce of character. He is e9 destined to make a good record and accom- . pllsh much good In Congress, and he enjoys ^ the confidence and esteem of his constituents lu a high degree. He possesses those sterling J? qualities which enables man to master .men, u! and qualifies him in a high degree to lead. He has a contingent, however, that opposes V1 him bitterly on account of his great promt- w< nence in getting a successful co-operative business established, whereby the farmers in 10 Ills section have saved thousands of dollars . upon their purchases. He did not work to le antagonize merchants or to injure their busl- . j nesss, but assisted the farmer to help blm? n( j The Economist Is fortunately able to pre^ P' soot Its readers with a picture and a short 5J I personal description of these three remarka ble men against whom a dirty piece of politi* cal fraud wasdlreoted, OUE CONGRESSMAN. ? a. re 1^1* Wonderful Ability hh hd Alliance Lender..?IUn mucccmn am n Mer* fe chant?Hi?

Latimer, member of the Fifty- " third Congress irora the Third District in South Carolina was born on a farm near w( Lowndesvllle, in Abbeville county, South u Carolina, August 80, 1851. He Is therefore " nearly 42 years old. He received a good English education in the local Institutions of ' } learning, and bus devoted his 11 le to agrlcul- , ture. In 1877 he married Miss Alice Brown, a J? niece of ex-United States Seuator Joseph E. la Brown, of Georgia, a lady of refinement ana _ culture, who Is still II ving and snares his Joys ? and honors. They have been" blessed with four children,one boy and three girls. Mr. V Latimer never held a political otlice till 1890, j when he was overwhelmingly elected County T Chairman ol the Democratic party In Ander sou county, where he has for many years re- m sided. He was selected to that position In T JS92. He joined the Farmers Alliance us a f cnurter member when the order was llrst 1 started In the Slate, and by his indomitable J will aud energy has perhaps done as much as f any other one man In that State to relieve d the masees from financial oppression. He re- J ullzed at once that one ol the most Important t duties of the order was to relieve the people m of unjust burdens, and that one of the greut- 3 est ol these was the credit system. To him is f I due the credit of having organized the most a successful co-operative stoie establishment in a I the South, and although it has not been in t I operation more man uiree unu oue-imu j years, it has saved SiiOO.OUO to his people. He j received tbe regular Democratic nomination f for Congress latt year, accepted, ran on that I ticket, and was elected. The State Democrat- j j Ic Convention of South Carolina iustructed t I its delegates to Chicago against Mr. Cleve- g I land, but after his nomination. Mr. Latimer, i I with Senator Irby, Dr. Strait, Mr. McLuurin, f i Mr. Shell, Mr. Talbert, Dr. Stokes, and other | j members of the Alliance, worked for Cleve- J ; land and harmonized the public sentiment of ' the .state with ipe Rational Democratic par- 4 j ty.
