Edenfield Advertiser TirOS. J. ADAMS,.EDITOR WEDNESDAY, SEPT. 26,1894. . And the Alliance has been paci fied, if not scooped, by the election of its president, W. D. Evans, to the office of railroad commissioner. The Alliance Citadel, the farmers Gibraltar, has fallen, and Keitt is left blooming alone, a rose in the wilderness, left on its stalk To tell where the garden had been. Hampton's Democracy voted al most to a man in the recent pri maries and will do likewise in No vember against Independents and for the regular ticket.-Hampton Guardian. The new Tariff law has reduced the price of many articles espe cially in woolen goods. The St. si Louis Republic says that this law \ ?8 "so much a relief that it is a f revolution." "Some errors never would^have thriven but for learned refutation," '0 said the poet Martin F. Tupper, and so say we of the convention in Columbia to-night, Tuesday. Let it have the rope all to itself. One of the strong indications of a revival in trade is the demand upon the U. S. Treasury for bills of small denominations, which Treasury "officials say is so 'great that the Government presses c?n't print them fast enough to meet the calls for them. Gladstone, the great English statesman, has thunder-struck his enemies and paralyzed his friends by coming out in favor of the Gothenburg system of controlling the liquor traffic-the Gothenburg system is known in this State as the dispensary. The truth about this whole mat ter is that the Conservatives are mistaken in their diagnosis of Tillmanism ; the disintegration has not yet gone far enough to enable a forlorn hope to capture the citadel. We are frank to confess that two years from now a different tale may be told. Secretary of State Tindal has written a letter on the political sit uation in this State that marks him asa patriot and statesman. Mr. Tindal is the wisest of the Re form leaders, if we may judge from this letter. He advises the Con servatives against nomination, but in words of truth and soberness that cannot fail to deeply impress those who are open to conviction. If the second convention of mal contests, which meets in Columbia to-night, Tuesday, should make nominations for State offices, such ticket would not receive three hun dred votes in Edgefield county, all told ; not that there is not cause for complaint with the ticket al ready in the field, but because Edgefield people will not support an independent ticket. We do not speak of the Inde pendents with indignation, but rather with pity for their weakness and short-sightedness. Just when the white people of both factions were getting together, were closing up to shake hands across the Till man and anti-Tillman r.hasm these light-headed persons mast forsooth sail out on a sea of uncertainty in their illy-constructed, ill-fated barque, "The Independent,'' omin ous name ! The ordinary Conservative thinks or seems to think that the Tillman ites in this State are tainted with Third partyism or Ocalaism, but there never was a greater mistake. There are a few of this faction, big mouthed and little-brained indi viduals who are Third partyites, , but they area mere handful to the great mass who are Democrats to the backbone ; and no one, Tillman, Butler, nor any other creature, can swerve them a jot or tittie from that allegiance. It is well for poli ticians to lope with the gang, but he who goes too far ahead is like a fool brayed in a mortar. Senator Ransom makes this point in discussing the new tariff law: "There are 1,700,000 people in North Carolina. At least 400,000 of these have accounts at stores. The average yearly storo account is about $100. Take off of each of these 400,000 accounts 25 per cent. This means a saving to North Carolinians of $10,000,000 per year; one million more than the cotton crop is worth; twice as much as the tobacco crop. This means much more than an increase of the money per capita to $50. It saves the money in the pockets of the people. THE STATE CONVENTION. The State Democratic Conven tion met on last Wednesday, made . nominations, adopted a platform, changed the constitution so as to ; elect all officers, except those of Master, Supervisor of Registration, and Trial Justices, by a direct pri mary, and adjourned for all time. The nominations we publish, along with the other proceedings, on our outside. The nominations are in the main good, but there are some scrubs on the ticket that Edgefield at least does not like. The platform is a Democratic one. No Ocalaism in it. It is true that the convention re adopted the platforms of 1890 and 1892, but neither of these contain ed the Ocala demands. These de mands were adopted, in the May convention of 1892, a convention that was sent to Columbia to elect delegates to the Chicago Conven tion of that year, and had no au thority to bind or pledge the Democrats of this State to any platform, and their adoption of the Ocala platform is of no binding force on the Democracy of this State. The Wall Street Journal has the following from the cashier of one of the banks doing an exception ally exclusive country business, says: "The spurt in business through out the country seems to be main tained so far, but we do not expect it to continue much longer. So far as we can judge from our experi ence, we look for only very moder ate business this fall, and an im provement of a permanent nature to begin some time next spring. Our Western correspondents advise us that there is great poverty among their customers. We do not expect to send much money West this year. We are sending considerable to the South, which is much the brightest spot in the country. [For the ADVERTISER. Items from the Antioch Section. Our community is still quiet. Politics, hard times and short crops are the' many topics of conversa tion. The cotton is even shorter than we expected a [month ago. This, coupled with the low price and high bacon and lard and other I necessaries, make our people wear J long faces. Kow, friends, look here, if you j wear long faces you nc*d not wear old clothes. For five cents you j can buy a bottle of "Carter's Black i Ink" take an old tooth-brush and apply ink freely and you will in a half hour have converted an old hat into a new one. Buy three packages of Diamond dye and boil your old suit and cravat in it for one or two hours and you have a new outfit. Now step into a pair of cigar boxes and present yourself at tea and your loving, tender wife will not recognize you. Of course I need not make any suggestions as to the nobler and fairer sex, for there is no end to the turning of skirts and twisting of bows and remodelling of hats. Let's call a convention. What say you? We have had quite a number of visitors lately. Messrs. Lod Stevens and C. E. May, of Meeting Street, have been on a visit to relatives in this section. Mr. and Mrs. Clarence Talbert, of Augusta, are up on a visit to the family of E. G. Talbert, Esq. Miss Effie Freeman, a lovely brunette of Lincoln, Ga., is visit ing Mrs. Josie Glanton, in whose honor a cotillion was danced on Tuesday evening. Mr. Bart Talbert, of Liberty Hill, made his monthly call on Sunday. Miss Ellie Mims, one of our mose charming young ladies, is visiting her cousin, Miss Adams, in Martintown. Typhoid fever is prevalent to an alarming extent in this section. Mrs. W. E. Eubanks, who has had a severe attack of this much dreaded malady is, we are glad to hear, convalescent. We regret to learn of the iilness of Mrs. Josie Glanton, and trust that she will soon be restored to health. Judge Kennerly passed on Fri day^en route to Prescott's store to hold an inquest on the body of Tandy Holmes. Tandy was struck on the head not long since with a shot gun by Mr. McKinney in a fight, from which wound he died Thursday night. The jury return ed a verdict of self defence. The difficulty grew out of a trade for a gun. Mr. John McDaniel, of Langley, has moved on a part of the Green lands, where he will do a general repairing of wagons, buggies, and all kinds of wood and iron work. G. ?

A WORD OR TWO ABOUT SAMPS POPE, That Prince of Political Torsion ists ana "Outs"-A Deliverance Prayed from Sadlers, Stradlers, Kickers, Backers, Bolters, Bluffers, and the Devil, All in One. j MB. EDITOR: Samps Pope, the festive didaper of South Carolina politics, has again bobbed up se renely at another place in the gu j bernatorial race. His ravings and importunities have been the laugh ing-Btock of men of every political persuasion. He is making the third (and last, we hope) attempt to grasp the prize which his heart covets-the . rulership of a great commonwealth. In the winter and spriog every conclave of Reformers was graced by his scowling face and deter mined gesture; the leafy boughs of summer heard his gentle coo I ings and overtures to his Conserva tive brethren; now, the quiet winds of autumn are whispering his wooings "in accents mild" to ?the darkey singing in the corn. So this apostle of protection, erstwhile fDllower of the meek and lowly Benjamin, would have been United States marshal ; one who wouldn't touch a copy of the Columbia State,ananti-dispensary ite ; and one who was never beaten for office, (always backs out), is going to appeal to the nigger? Of coarse, Bro. Sampson, in his mani festo doesn't go this far, but his position implies as much. How else does he expect to get elected? Out with Reformers, never been in with Conservatives, the negro is his only hope. Most of the anti?, even if they didn't vote, are good Democrats, and are not going to repudiate their Democracy for a man who might desert in the hour of need. Alec. Haskell, with the full support of his faction, failed ignominiously ; where will Samps with a few soreheads from each party appear, if he doesn't call on the negro? Pope says: "Governor Tillman had a three hour's chat with Mur ray, the negro Congressman. This looks as if they had gone to the negro." Now this is the most ab surd thing put forth during the whole campaign. Ben Tillman, already elected by awhita majority, appealing to "cuff"? Utter rot! To my mind this is only a forerun ner and an extenuation of an ap peal about to be made by Pope himself. If Samps doesn't ask for negro suffrage, it will be because of his doing as he always does flunking. The man we want for Governor is a man of backbone ; a man who will stand firm as a rock. Pope's record this year fully demonstrates that he is unfit for any thing-much less Governor. As between Evans ?and Pope no one can hesitate-the one firm, and even when an enemy, an honest one, the other, a fleeting Will 0'wisp blown by every wind of doctrine, and chasing the wildest fancies. May the good Lord de liver us from Sadlers, Stradlers, Kickers, Backers, Bolters, and Bluffers like Samps Pope, Ellison Keitt, Cal Caughman, Jerry Gog gans, und der Teufel. Yours "ergin" Samps, SEMPHROKICUS. WyBes Ferry, S. C. Speaking of the new Tariff law the St. Louis Republic says : "In woolens and knit fabrics thu reduction is from one hundred per cent, to an average of thirty-five per cent. This is of great signifi cance, not only because it will cheapen these absolutely neces sary articles to the consumer, but because it will stimulate trade with Germany, Belgium, France, and England, where the demand for our meats, flour, and grain is the largest. The protectionists may ask how foreign trade can be stimulated and home woolen man ufacture enlarged at the same time. The answer is that consumption will increase with great rapidity. Among three-fourths of our people far less of good woolen clothing, carpets, and blankets ls used than the users would like and would have if they could pay for more. Enlarge their export markets and they will enlarge the home market. Almost a New York Daily.
