Edgef?eld Advertiser THURSDAY, JUNE 2, 1892. THOS. J.ADAMS,.EDITOR HOW TO ii LE CT THEM. In view of the fact that there exists considerable doubt through * out the county as to the manner of voting for Trial Justices in the August primary, we think it would be well to call the attention of our county executive commit tee to the rules regulating the same. Under the law of the party ,as it now stands, Trial Justices have to be voted for just as the other candidates, and must receive a majority of the whole number of votes cast in the county to' secure the nomination. However, at the last meeting of the State Democratic Executive Committee the rule was so amended as to empower the county execu tive committees to frame such rules regulating the election of Trial Justices as to them might seem proper. Up to this time our County executive committee has formulated no plan for the conduct of primary for Trial Justices, and we' would suggest that a meeting be held at an early day with this object in view, and to so arrange matters that candidates for Tnal Justice in the several Trial Jus tice districts be voted for only by voters residing in the same district as the candidate for whom they vote, and that the candidate who may receive the majority of the vote cast in his district shall be declared the nominee of that district. Candidates for these important offices in Edgef?eld County are not at all satisfied with the rule which now obtains and which will re main the law of the case unless i changed by. the county executive committee-a rule that requires every candidate to canvass for rotes outside of bis own particular district and in regions where his own merits and the failures and shortcomings of his opponents cannot be disclosed except by an eiirra amount of trouble. ^ PROHIBITION. ?A State Convention of prohib?-J tionists was held in Columbia on Tfc?rsday, the 26th of May. Eighty-nine delegates were pres ent representing twenty-three counties. ? ^^Itlwalr decfa$<f after a lengthy discussion that no nominations for State oflBcers should be made, but that there should be a prohi bition campaign. Ar platform of principles was adopted and an address issued to the people of the State. The method proposed by the convention by which the senti ment of the people on this question may be ascertained is to place at ~ every polling precinct, on the day o/^the primary election, a ballot box into which every voter can deposit his ballot for or against prohibition. It is proposed to catechise all candidates for the Legislature so that their views may be known in advance of the pri maries, thus giving the voter the inalienable right of "going" for him in either sense of that word he may elect. There is a vast deal of literature upon this prohibition question. Tomes have been written, statis tics have been piled up mountain high, and yet the solution of the problem, "How to make peonle quit drinking liquor," is as far off as ever. The aspirations of prohi bitionists, those who are prohibi tionists per se and not for some ulterior object or purpose, is cer tainly a high and holy one. Yet notwithstanding the "experiments with prohibition in divers States, towns and cities of these United States the thing itself has never ; had a fair test on its merits any where. Wherever it has been a success it was not. a success by reason of its merits, and wherever it has failed its failure cannot be attributed to its demerits. Upon all great moral questions-and prohibition is a great moral ques tion-the two great paaties of this country invariably divide, the Democrats taking one Bide and the Republicans the other, with com paratively few exceptions.- The moral part of the question is elim-] inated and prohibition is used simply as a means to an end, to get into power, or to keep in pow er. South Carolina will be no exception to this rule. If the Democratic followers of Tillman should' espouse, prohibition the irrecocilable Haskell i tee and the : incomprehensible Sheppardites L will as surely become anti prohi- < bi tionists without reference to th? moral part of the thing itself. ' Such being the case, should pro- : hibition carry in this State and , become the law, those who are now opposed to prohibition and to M Tillman would do all they could 1 to make prohibition a failure, and , as the anti-Tillmanites and anti- L prohibitionists cont roi the towns 11 and cities and almost all the vil lages in the State, their efforts ?would go a long way towards mak ing it so. Augusta has a new daily paper j called The Daily Prohibitionist. Editor J. C. Hemphill, of the News and Courier, has gone to Cali fornia on a pleasure excursion. The Third Party ites it eeems will nominate Col. Polk, of North Carolina, for President. The first thing Col. Polk knows* he'll be everlastingly in the soup. Augusta is getting hot on pro hibition, and crimination and re crimination is getting to be the order of the day down there. The date hasn't been fixed for the elec tion, but it is near at hand. It is alleged that Col. John C. Haskell during the recent Demo cratic Convention wore during the whole, session a pistol buckled around his diaphragm, contrary to the statute in such case, made and provided. The first campaign meeting will be held next Tuesday at Barnwell. There will be four meetings in as many days, then a lapse of four days, when the campaigners will speak in Charleston. Edgefield's day is the 7th of July. So things will be hot all around by June bug time. "The New York World says that at the present rate of increase there will be one million pension ers in this country ou the 1st of j January next. At $8 per month, the minimum paid, it would re quire $8,000,000 per month, or| $96,000,000 per annum to foot the I bill. It would not astonish us if in the near future a fourth party j should arise iu this country with Anti Pensions as its shibboleth. "Better," says the New York! Press in speaking of the Briggs! controversy, ^'better th?t the Pres byterian Church should be split) than it should preserve a nominal and lifeless union." This is sound doctrine and it applies to the State just as truly as to the Church." News and Courier. Another primary or split in this threat, or perhaps a nigger in the j wood pile. v DEMOCRATIC CAMPAIGN. Appointments for Spec ches by the Candidates for State Honors.

The plotters are plotting and the planners are planning, and the leaders are marshaling their "forces. What shall Christian' man do? Stand aloof? No, indeed. Go in. and| take your religion with you. You need not be afraid. If it is genuine it will stand the strain. If your religonwill not serve you in the caucus or convention, or at the big political rally, it would not be much loss to you or to anyone else if it were to evaporate. The political sea is full of breakers, and the horoscope indicates -a storm, and if good men all go below and leaye the care andi guidance of the Ship of State to | roughs and professtonal dead-, beats, she will be wrecked. Don't I liefen to the pot-house politician, j who muddies the political pool, and theu tries to keep decent men away by the cry, '(Take care there, you'll soil your robes." The pa triot is the friend of God as well as of men, and God expects His children to make the impress of their conscinee on affairs of State. Goto the front, in the name of your Master, and assert your privileges and discharge your duty. You will need to watch and pray. The more religion one has the keener the sense of danger and iependencc, and the more he watches-the more good it ctoes to pray, and the more he prays. Pray lo be guided IQ opinion and action, But don't imitate John Smith, who was exceedingly anxious about the choice of a wife,, and prayed devoutly to be divinely directed in the matter, but always wound up with th? fervent petition to be able to gain the. affections and the hand of Miss Lucy Jones. Proceed on the hypothesis' that you and your party are liable to err, and that there may be some wisdom and honesty in the other parties, notwithsanding they commit the grievous blunder of refusing to see everything through your spectcles, Pray for the moral courage to achango your? opinon and and turn out of the old groove, when you find you are going wrong. It takes an immense amount of grace to_ enable aman to do that. You might pray oc casionally for similar blessings on those- of opposing parties, but you had better do most of your praying for yourself- And be sure in your watching not to spend all your time with a telescope scanning.the political field, b^t keep an eve at home. It will pay. Be self-possessed. It is no use to exhort you not to get excited ; for if you are worth anything at all you cannot go though a heated political campaign without becoming excited. But you need not lose your selfcontrol. It is the engine with the biggest head of steam, but under complete control, that pulls the heaviest loads rapidly and safely across the con tinent. Don't get angry, if you can help it. And if you do, obey the Scripture injunction and sin not, neither let the sun go down on your wrath. There will be plenty of temptations to anger. Some shallow-pated gentleman, with perfect nonchalance, and in the most approved form of the most exquisite etiquette, will tell you that you are both a knave anda fool because you differ from him. But don't get angry. It will spoil the fun. It has not been long since we had the most perfect specimen of a little singls-ideaed fanatic we ever met tell us he was praying regularby for the opening of our eyes. That was a temptat ion indeed. Why we thought we were wide awake and looking though the clearest medium straight at the truth. And the idea of-. Never mind. We didn't get mad. We laughed it off, and came to Jfche conclusion that his prayers would do us no thar m. and-and-i t was hard to confess-that there might be just a little film over one eye. At any rate, we would let the 'praying go on and keep in a good humor. You will find some of the funny phases of our imperfect humanity drawn with grotesque distinctness on the political canvass. The man- who has the fewest ideas and the least ones will nurse them with more than motherly devotion and fight for. them with the fierceness of a - tiger. The man whose positiveness amounts U. brusque domineering will undertak to cure your dogmatism by a dog matic arrogance that is perfectly refreshing in its unsophisticated simplicity. The man whose opinions are inherited and deeply imbeded in the mind by a trans mitted prejudice, the growth of generations, will condemn you for your want of independent thought, and chide you foryourvtruculence. Poor human nature frequently uncovers its worst deformities iu politic/is, and then blows a trumpet with a loud blast to call the eye of the world upon it. But go in, rour country needs you. Play the man. Don't be a milksop. Don't fall into the noisy parade of cheap pinchbeck patriotism, and drift along with the unthinking masses. Bead and think. Criticise men and measures. You are one of the sovereigns. Don't surrender your mace, nor place your sceptre in the hands of ignorance or corrup tion. Be firm and manly, but be just and generou. Keep passion in subjection to reason. Hold the balance of judgment above the shifting and confusing currents of popular prejudice. Only a.few men can do that. Seek to be one of that royal number. Women and preachers will exercise political influence in ? the inverse ratio of the amount of noise they make.-Exchange. When Animals AN UU Said a prominent veterinarian: "Ani mals when sick are the most helpless 1 and appreciative of all creatures, and the way of administering relief and medicine in many instances is as novel as it is effective. The most savage and revengeful animals during spells of se vere pain are as docile and tractable as a child. Relief must come from a hu man being and come quickly, and they seem to know it. The most vicious \ horse when groaning with pain would allow a mere child to administer relief, and many of the wild animals when in J sickness seem to forget their savage in stincts.M-Philadelphia Press.
