Again it is verified that the rainbow of hope is often cradled in a storm. From shore to shore, from lakes to gulf, from workshop to farm, | from palace and cot ascend a shout \ of joy over the triumph of the DeI ; mocracy, lead by the matchless ! Cleveland! Many knowing ones ex- ; { pected Cleveland's election but none j j were prepared to witness such a J tidal wave sweeping all before it. For the first time in thirty-six years has the grand old Democracy held J the power of a President and a Congress completely in their own hands. After the fourth of next March the National ship will be under Democratic control. From that day the ! party will be on trial. All eyes look ing to reform by the party which has, through the suck a stinging" rebuke to Republican extravagance, are hopefully turned upon a Democratic President and Congress to bring relief to the coun try. For four years we are safe from the menace of force bills and high tariff. If, as we confidently expect, the party redeems its pledges, then its hold upon the people's confidence will not be measured by one term, Unl Uo nVAffororl U'Avl' /\-f j IkJ LA Vj IiU itO " VilV V'l reform, the American people, already disgusted with the Kepublican party, will naturally seek other means of reliof. The unseemly greed for appointive offices evinced by leading Democrats almost before the votes were counted, is digusting. It is about time for some one to arise and call attention to the fact that neither all the Democratic brains nor all the worthy 1 Democratic voters fitted for office ! under ttie next administration nap- j pen to reside in Columbia, Charles- j ton and a few other large sized hamlets. Are we tc understand that the country does the voting while a few good sized towns are to devour all the loaves and fishes? A few papers would have us believe that a Tillmanite stands but a slim chance in the * grand distribution of spoils. Just f here it is fair to inquire about how | many votes Cleveland would have re^ ? f?eived in South Carolina * with^R ? Oar next Legislature has big I before it. Too much special lefSKBp tion in the past has been aptly ^ nounced the curse of our legislailHr . Every tenth voter has some pet / scheme 'liich he would have boomed. ^ Their prayer is something like this: ^ ' A bill to make us Coroner?we'll do the ^ thing up brown, A bill to move Jim Jones' still just three miles marer town; 8 A bill to make all taxes free to them that f; no v VflUUW !/( * 9 x . , A bill to pension widows an* make the keep away; A bill ?an' every man will rise an' say its mighty nice? To make a man a Colonel who has lynched 0 a feller twice; S A b'll to do away with all this revenue in- ? spection; A bill to make salvation free and take up no collection." L1 0 Perhaps something can be done to better our educational interests. r They are sadly in need of repairs. In but few counties are our teachers ^ paid promptly. The faithful teacher j closes a month, makes out his report, and is granted an order on the treas- . ury for his pay; but, lo! he is in- ^ | formed that no money is there for < him and he is forced to go to a broker . , I 1 and suffer a heavy discount! With no other class of laborers is this true. Every official from Governor down to the lowest, even the laborers who clean the spittoons in our capitol, are paid promptly. Why this shameful .disregard of a plain duty towards the teachers of the State? The old veterans of the Lost Cause in this section are rejoiced to note the proposed re-union of the 20tli Regiment at Piatt Springs 011 the 3d of December. That good battle scarred old soldier, Capt. Sam Roof, deserves great credit for the call and it is hoped that these heroes who followed Lee, Johnson, Jackson and Hampton over fields of blood will, in these piping times of peace meet annually to keep alive the ! treasured remiuescences of those j soldier days. The flag they loved to follow has been folded forever. One by one their comrades find rest in the grave, but these re-unions the j few living can keep alive the scenes j of the camp and field in memory. Festus. i Sandy Run, S.

Rev. O. 13. Sliearous of Spring! field, Ga., and a recent graduate of | the Theological Seminary at New! berry, aDd who has accepted a call from the St. Mark's pastorate, arrived yesterday, and will at once enter upon his duties as regular pastor. Rev. Shearouse is a young man of literary attainments, and we welcome him in our midst and wish him much success in his o-reat and noble work. Last Tuesday our community was shocked on learning of the death of Mrs. George Bowers. Her remains were laid to rest last Wednesday morning in the St. Mark's cemetery. The funeral services being conducted by Rev. L. E. Busby. His discourse was based upon the words, Num. xxiii, 10, "Let me die the death of the righteous.'" There was services last Sunday at St. Marks by Mr. C. A. Fellers, a student of the Theological Seminary at Newberry. His sermon was eh quent, practical and full of infornn tiori. Mr. Fellers seems to be worthy of the calling, and will, without doubt, make a zealous and energetic worker in the Lord's vineyard. Our school, Pleasant Grove Academy. under the care of Mr. E. L. 1 Wessinger, is in a flourishing condition; and the indications are that the ' trustees will have to employ an assist- 1 ant teacher. "We are looking forward for our Legislature, which is now in session, 8 to enact a law putting more restrictve measures on the sale and use of 8 ntoxicating liquors. The evil is be- * joming so great, and the law so ^ ibused and evaded, that I think that * t is time for our legislators to open * heir eyes and use all their energy ; bafc our taxes would be raised to" upply the deficiency made by the >ss of the revenue. Of what value Dl > such an argument when we take ^ ato consideration the enormous sum bat is spent annually for liquor that ^ rings no good, but on the other " and, we can all see the evil effects round us which follow? Some may aay that the germ of Christianity, ?aith in God, must be implanted in 11 he hearts of our people before we a an have prohibition. r< The ministers of the gospel are u loing all they can to Christianize * ur people aud supplant the evil; but 8 o long as there is such a barrier in v he way, so long as whisky is put 011 n sale in front of our doors, they can- 1( lot accomplish that which they could ti therwise. And there are those who v night become Christians and live a d ighteous life if this demon was put D ?ut of their reach and the tempta- d ion was taken from among them, t dow many souls have gone down to a 'ternal torment which might have i* >een otherwise had it not been for t iquor being placed in their midst! Lead us not into temptation" by * placing this infernal substance * tmong us. t Our people by their votes have c isked for prohibition in some forrn^ md let us have a substantial law to c suppress the evil and especially the c jo-called "social clubs," which are 1 nothing more or less than gambling 1 lens and bar rooms without a license. 1 Birdie. ^ November 26, 1892 . < Deafness Cannot be Cured by local applications, as they cannot ] reach the diseased portion of the ear. , There is only one way to cure Deaf- i ness, and that is by constitutional i remedies.

The rum seller says: "I am innocent, because I Lave paid for my justification. The law demands a ii- i .. l cense, and it, therefore, assumes all the responsibility; and, besides, if I did not sell, some one slse would.'' "The voter says: "I am innocent, because my party will take care of this question, for that is what parties are for, and if I should go with anew party it would set back the prohibition question twenty years. And, besides, it might throw the good old party into the hands of the other party, ana tnat would De wose man all." The law maker says: UI am innocent because t' * people did not instruct me to legislate on this question. I am not supposed to be in advance of the people's wishes. They are the sovereigns; and if we should attempt to lead the people and give them what they do not want we would soon be taught a lesson of how to stay at home and mind our own business." Thp minidtor aova- "T am innocent, because if we should agitate this question of prohibition of the liquor traffic, and the necessity of the people doing their duty at the ballot box as the most efficient way to annihiliate this curse of rumselling, it would be a partisan movement, and we cannot allow politics to be brought into the pulpit. These political weapons will do for our enemies, but ours is a spiritual warfare, pou know.*' The individual Christian says: ."I im innocent, because political prohibition does not concern the church. m d I, too^believe in the good old >lan of educating the public with gospel temperance. We can talk emperance, preach temperance, pray emperance, but we cannot work tem>eranee, for that would be voting and I10 cli rch v.n ( ^ ' The moral citizen says: "I am in- ? ocent, because if the church rnemers and Christian ministers are si- ? nt on this subject, I do not see why * should be expected to take an ac ve part in the agitation." The unthinking public, the poor of c 11 classes, the more degraded victims P intemperance, sayi: "If Christian len and ministers can say they are * 1 a l'tmnrp this Question and U "UVI.vj "O 1 smain silent, and do not care to put [iemselves out of the way, or take * ny responsibility about what they ay is a great evil, why should we, 1 rlio do not pretend to be leaders on loral questions, much less on relig>us questions like these? We cer- ' ainlv are innocent, because if there ( ras so much wrong a.id injury one by the liquor traffic, why in the ame of heaven and all that is good !o not the rich men, the great men, he moral men, the good men, especilly Christian men and Christian min- 1 sters do something or say something o show what they think about it?' So this responsibility is shifted rom one to another, all saying, "Am 1 ! my brother's keeper?" Yes, from he depths of those enslavements, the Irunkard's stupor and craving appeite, the cries of helpless, homeless hildren, the agony and tears of des>late mothers and widows, degraded md criminally debauched and sufferng humanity all say (remember this s the voice of God to you): "Thy 1.1 .V 1,1 ,1 lirifn mo frnm jimuei s uiuuu liiciu uiitu u.v .. ;he ground.1' Our intelligence is not so much at :'ault.

Williams opened school at Sand Mountain Academy on the 7th ult., with most flattering prospects. He enrolled thirty-five the first day, and his roll increases daily. It has now reached the number of fifty. If students still ^pour'' in as they have been, Mr. Williams will have to have an assistant. We do not see why the people of Sand Mountain District do not en courage a ten months school. They certainly have plenty of material, and most assuredly have the teacher to build it up. The shrill whistle of the South bound and merry whoop of th school children, bids adieu to th "dark age,'' and welcomes the sunn; light of education and enlighten nient. D. M.

Boulware, of Fulton, is one of the best known erimina] lawyers in Missouri, but like most awyers he is a man of the world and he has forgotten many of the good things he learned at Sunday school. His grand daughter, four-years-old, came to pay him a visit the other day. She arrived tired and sleepy from all day's journey. Her grandfather awkwardly, but successfully prepared her for her couch and, with an attendant, sent her to bed while he settled himself to study. Presently he heard sobs from the child's bed room, and entering asked what was the matter?" "Grandpa, I forgot my prayer." "Well, never mind the prayer tonight; go to bed and go to sleep." "But," persisted the little "mamma to be | WBS3KBBKM t twice, grandfather. Still the sobbing lips replied: "No? 10; I must say it. You start it grand>a, and I'll remember it." A great silence fell upon the houselold, great beads of cold sweat stood >ut on the perplexeu brow of the lead of the house. He could't think, lis mind was chaos. Finally with t heroic effort he begun: "Mary had a little lamb " "No. no, grandpa, that isn't it.' protested the troubled little appealer. Then frantically the Judge began igain: "Rock a-by baby in the tree ;op " "No-o-o," came from the child, and the next moment she was fast 8sleep m her knees. South Carolina. a-ugusta Chronicle. Nov: that the danger is passed we do not mind stating that we had serious apprehension at one time that South Carolina would join the Third party. We confess we felt alarmed about the growing discontent among Democrats in our sister State. There was a restlessness among the people that showd great discontent and dissatisfaction with the then existing condition of affairs, but now fortunately for the future government of South Carolina, the election of Mr. Cleveland has removed the distrust and discontentment and full^ recon ciled and restored the people to lull fellowship with the Democratic party. The men who had a great deal to do with holding the South Carolina Alliancemen in the Democratic ranks were Senator Irby and Governor Tillman, and "for their influence and their services they are entitled not only to the gratitude of Allianceman, but of all South Carolina Democrats who believe that party integrity is essen tial to party supremacy.

Please Explain. The News and Courier and other papers of its way of thinking imrnej diately after the late election put ; forth tha claim that the wing of the , I Democratic party in the State to which they belong carried South l Carolina for Cleveland, and yet, as , the Columbia Register points out' - "in the face of this statement, the r ! fiornvpt; fihnw that while Charleston , I ? I gave Brawley about 4,600 votes in i the Congressional primary, when the i general election came around that ? 1 city polled less than 2,400 votes for 3 the Democratic nominees! How is . ! this explained? The returns show that the Reform Democrats of our State, who opposed Mr. Cleveland's nomination, gave him South Carolina's electoral vote." This certainly was 1 a bad showing for the city in which j the News and Courier is published, ' and that journal ought to come out and explain why the votes Major I | Brawley received in the primary were : not cast for Grover Cleveland in the i ! general election.

I twelve hours a day, stitching harness. He had heard from some ^ preacher that every day work could tl be ennobled, but he had only a dim & idea of the man's meaning. One ^ day he looked out and saw a horse ^ dash madly by with a carnage con I taining a woman and child. A man h leaped from the curb, caught the tl horse by the bridle, and was dragged M along by the infuriated animal. But s the bridle held, the horse was stopped, the mother and child were c saved. 8 The thought passed through the mind of the poor leather stitcher: 0 "Suppose the sewing on that bridle t had been poorly done, with bad thread. Then the bridle might have broken, and the man, as well as r those in the carriage, would have * been injured. How do I know but * that the sewing was some of my * work."

A Tired Mother's Victory. A little timely gentleness sweetens the mother's recollection in after years with a thrill of gratitude: whereas the memory of hasty severity of little ones must bring a pang. This tender story of a mother's experience is a beautiful lesson in itself: I had laid my table with great care aud pains for a company of distinguished guests, when my little girl Dver turned a tureen of gravy on the snowy cloth. What should I do? It seemed to me a drop too much for tired nerves?man}* drops too much [or my table cloth. I was about to jerk my child down angrily from the tab^e when a blessed influence held me. I caught the expression on her face; such a sorry frightened, appealins? look I never saw and snrldf?nlv n w J picture out of the past came ami stood out vividly before my mind's ?ye. My child's face revealed feel.ngs which I had experienced twenty pears before. I saw myself a little nervous girl ibout eight years old, in the happy lome of my childhood. It was a itormy afternoon in the winter. It vas then coal oil lamps were first in roduced and father b?d bought a very landsome one. The snow had drifted igainst the kitchen windows, so, alhough it was not night, the lamp vas lighted. Mother was sick in bed ipstairs, and we children were gathered in the kitchen to keep the loise and confusion away from her. I was feeling very important, helpng to get supper; at any rate I imagned I was helping, and in my offiiousness I seized that lamp and rent down in the cellar for some >utter. I tried to set it on the hang, ng shelf, but, alas! I didn't give room nough and down it fell on the c*aentefl floor. ; m His voice seemed to give me the petus I needed to go up and meet le scolding or whipping or both hich I felt sure awaited me, and hich 1 really felt I deserved. So I rept over the dark stairway, and as entered the kitchen I met father with ich a stern look upon his face that was frightened. I saw there was no need to tell him hat had happened. tie Had neara be crash, and if he hadn't, think my ice would have told him the story, 'he children stood silently around -aiting to see what father would do. saw by their faces that they were orror struck, for that lamp had been he subject of too much talk and ronder to be broken without a senation: As for me, I felt so frightened, so onfused and sorry that I couldn't peak. But upon glancing again at ather, I saw the angry look die out f his eyes, and one of tenderest pity ake its place. I doubt not that he saw the same ook in my face then that I saw in ny child's face today. In a minute le had lifted me in his arms and was lugging me close to his breast. Then le whispered, oh! so kindly: "Never mind, little daughter; we ill know 'twas an accident, but I hope rou will take the small lamp when rou go down cellar again." Oh, what a revolution of feeling I ixperienced! It was such a surprise ;o me that I was suddenly over,,-01, fodlinrrc r>f lr>VP ftlld ItUCiJUtVI "llii ?r- . ? gratitude, and buried my face, sobbing as if my heart was breaking. Sb punishment could have affected ne half so much, and nothing can iver efface the memory from my nind. How I loved my father today is the sight of my own little girl's 'ace brought it ail so freshlv before O * ne! Will she love me as dearly, I wonler, twenty years or more from now, because, moved by the same God ?iven impulse that stirred my father's J Jk. heart in that long ago time, I was able to press the frightened little thing to my heart, and tell her kindly that she didn't mean to spill the gravy, and that I was sure she would be more careful another time? Will she be helped by it when she is a mother as I have been helped today?
