If our memory is not at fault we ; promised through these columns as j far back as 1892, during a controversy with Mr. Theodore Hoi zhauser, that if it ever was attempted to call a constitutional convention without assurances being given that the work of this convention would be referred back to the people for ratification or rejection, we would oppose the proposition for the calling of such a j convention. "We now redeem that promise. In the first place we have always been and always will be unalterably opposed to the idea of delegating the right to use the elective franchise 4/-> otitt cot nf mpn nndpr anv circum W v v* ^ stances, no matter how deep in the | science of constitutional laws they might be. "We claim to have the intelligence to think, and from those thoughts to draw our own conclusions and form our judgment from which we can act as it may dictate and conceive to be for the best interest of the whole peojde. "We cheerfully accord this right to others and demand that it be given them whether they be our political friends or whether they be our political foes. According to our judgment the greatest and grandest achievement of the Tillman reforma'ion is the teaching of the people to do their own thinking on questions of a poli- j tical nature effecting all the interests ' of the people, as well as those of j generations yet unborn, and giving them the opportunity to personally j pvnress their choice for men and j measures at the ballot box uninflu- ! enced by the wire pulling of politi- J cians and untrammelled by the cum- J bersome and disreputable practices j of the convention system. To deny \ ' the people this right now will dim the lustre which is now and ever will cluster around the policies of the Tillman regime and it is virtually an admittance, and will be regarded as such in the vears to come, that the people are not to be trusted with a j voice in their own government. Another reason why we oppose i the convention, as it is proposed to j to be held, is that it is the most im- | portant issue with which the people j has had to deal since the days of reconstruction. An issue before which all other issues pales into insignificance in point of importance, even that of white supremacy becomes secondary to it when the risks and * ' ?- i- e iu _ I misiaKes name 10 creep m irom tue misuse and abuse of a body whose authorotity is only delegated but whose only limit to indict great j wrongs upon the people, if it is to | the interest of members of the con- j vention to betray the trust reposed J in them, is only restricted by their j wills and opportunity, for, the re- | straining influences of an appeal to | the people for ratification being withdrawn, the doors are to fraud are thrown wide open, and the barter of the rights, the life, the liberty and property of the cit izen invited. The State constitution is an instrument j which guarantees to every citizen j certain rights and privileges in the j pursuit of profit and pleasure which i no statutory law can abridge or j take away from him, and without the | power to exercise this right freemen five rt>lpcr?fpf] to the condition of serfs & and slaves; therefore, this instrument j is too sacred and too dear to the hearts erf the people to be impiously or hastily tampered with by a re- j stricted number of persons. It is j such an instrument that the work of ; amendment, abridgement or change I of i's provisions should invite the co- j operation of all the wisdom of the j State, irrespctive of factional lines, j elicit the widest possible discussion and the most thorough education of * the masses on the merits or demerits of the proposed amendments, restric tions or change, and no better way j LO UU 11115 1U UUl vpiiiKJU. van k/t | found than by submitting amend- j rnents to the people at every State i election and have them discussed pro j and con from every stump and | around every fireside. It is said that the i rue blue Indepen- J dents will support Sampson Pope for I Governor at the November election. Let the Reformers be on their guard j onrl ota ta fViA nnlla ind vofp the I v r whole Democratic ticket for Governor down. A great hurrah has been made about men being disfranchised by being denied the right to vote in the late primary. If there is a single man who went to the polls and offered to vote, and was denied that right by the managers or anyone else, we have yet to hear of him. Those men who stayed away from the polls and refrained from voting, in order that they might be free to take part ! in an Independent movement, dis- j franchised themselves and they have i no one to blame for it but themselves. That's the long and short of it and they have no right to be whining like children now. THE TWO CONVENTIONS. The convention of the Regular i Democrats and that of the Indepen- j dents have met and adjourned. That j of the former adopting a platform ; broad, strong and liberal enough for all Democrats who truly desire j to see the breach in the party healed j instead of widened, to stand without the surrender of a siDgle principle; the latter accomplished nothing, j without it was in succediug to I make "confusion worse confounded.'' With the result of both some j are pleased and some displeased. | The decision of the latter in taking ! no action in opposition, if they are j sincere, to the majority of the peo J pie, was for the best interest of the j State. The Democracy of this State ! cannot afford to divide. There is too j much danger for such an experiment ! to be tried. Party unity is absolutely essential to good government. It is a ; right which all citizens are justified j and should exercise in differing as to ! men and measure up to the very last j moment of the dav on which the j primary election is held, but when { the result is declared let us stand j uncovered in the presence of the i people and bow in humble submission to the will of the majority as expressed through the ballot box. We acknowledge that might does not make right, neither does the weak make right, and it is possible for the minority to be in the wrong. In matters of this kind i r. f*i r* r\$ foiVnoCC We II2USL e&tri'l'iae a. o^imi V/J. muuvuu and sound judgment, and strife and bitterness should not mar our fairness nor warp our judgment to the end that both wings of the party might flop together again in unison. It is possible, and if it will be a balm to some seared consciences we will admit, that the Reform party might have made mistakes, and j where is the party that has not, but the wonder is that more mistakes | have not been made when we remember what bitter opposition this Administration has had tocontend with. We assert without fear of successful contradiction that Tillman has never during his four years of office, taken one step along the line of reform but what some one has always be found to take out an injunction and some I judge ready to issue the writ, in or- ! der to run the government to expense ; and thus prevent a reduction of "'m o/^ntrn-iliah tho downfall of ! UiAti? l/V vmw v%v .. ? | Tillman and the restoration of their faction to power. But Tillman's position has almost been invariably sustained even by a prejudiced court at the final hearing of the cause. Had the present Administration not been impeded and these obstacles placed in the way of an economical administration of State affairs, our people would have today been on better terms and the Reform movement would have been fairly weighed in the balances and received the plaudit of well done or been condemned according as it redeemed or failed to I redeem its pledges. j Admitting, if you please, that hard things were said at the beginning of the reformation, but this does not j justify nor excuse the opposition for j continually and eternally abusing ' those who might happen to differ with them on men and measures and in doing so they are responsible for the division now existing. The monumental blunder tho opposition ! made was the failure of the minority to accept defeat gracefully and fall in line so that they would be in a position to be of some service to the State. Some of them would j have been entrusted with a responsi- j ble office and been useful, but in j standing aloof they have put them- i selves m a position to be or no use. Nov? that we have but one ticket in the field let us all go to work for the success of the ticket and after the election to reunite the part}*. It is indeed gratifying to every true son of South Carolina, that even at the last moment it may have been, wisdom, common sense and prudence won the hour in the late Independent convention in Columbia,^ and those who would have plunged the State J into deeds of violence and bloodshed hitherto unknown and irrevocably divided the Democratic party to satisfy their personal spleen and prejudices and to gratify their desire for office, have been terribly rebuked even though they were in a majority, by the failure of the convention to put out a full State ticket, and we trust that the lesson taught them ? that there is no room for an Independent movement in South Carolina, for an Independent ticket nor will one be toerated under any circumstances, no matter how deep the greivences may be, will prove beneficial, and tend toward cooling oft* their hot tempers and be the means of making them act with more rea sou and wisdom than tbev have heretofore done. There is now running in this State sixty-eight dispensaries and the devil only knows how many Blind Tigers. Drop the profits in the dispensaries and you will drive the tigers out. The Independents at their late | caucus-convention conceded their I impossibility of carrying old Lexing: ton. In this they were right. BMHMBBEBBBaHBaMaHBanani It has leaked out that a deal between the Independents and Republicans was attempted at the late con- s vention, whereby the negro Murry, ; Y the Republican nominee for Congress I from the First District, was to be j a sacrificed on the altar of prejudice j s by the Republicans supporting j ] Elliott, the Democratic nominee; and ^ Dr. Stokes, the Democratic nominee J g from this District, was to meet a sim- j 1 ilar fate at the hands of some of the ! i Independents who, as the rumor ; t goes, pledged themselves to support j Braytou, the Republican nominee. I ? It is alledged that the refusal of the j ? Sumter Conservatives to perjure ; j themselves by going back, on their | oath taken at the primary election, i t the deal fell through. The position I ( of the Conservatives of hat county is J < commendable and their avowed deter- j : mination to support the regular Demo- j ? cratic nominees, including Dr. Stokes, ! j practically insures his election in spite j ( of any and all opposition which might i develop. j j ....... J United States Senator David B. Hill, was on last Wednesday unani mously nominated as a candidate for Governor of New York by the Demo- I crats of that State. It is now thought that the Repub- j licans of this State will put out a full | State ticket. The executive committee ni6t yesterday to discuss the , advisability of doing so. Liter?The committee has met , and decided to make no nominations. Deafness Cannot be Cured. By local applications, as they cannot reach the diseased portion of the ear. There is only one way to cure Deafness, and that is by constitutional remedies. Deafness is caused by an inflamed condition of the mucous lining of the Eustachian Tube. When this tube gets inflamed you have a rumbling sound or im perfect hearing, and when it is enTicofi-iosc i<a flip rpsnlt. HI CiJ1 W.VOCVt <11 1IVUU , and unless the iuflammatiou can be { taken out and this tube restored to its normal condition, hearing will be destroyed forever; nine cases out of ten are caused by catarrh, which is nothing but an inflamed condition of the mucous surface. We will give One Hundred Dol- j lars for any case of Deafness (caused j by catarrh) that cannot be cured by j Hall's Catarrh Cure. Send for circulars, free. F. J.

Boland, of Little I Mountain, this county, had the mis| fortune to sustain a heavy loss by | fire on the night of the 27th, ult. | At about 10 o'clock fire was discov! ered at his place of business, and be- I | fore it could be extinguished two J gins, engines and boiler, cotton j presses, planing machine, saw mill, j etc., together with the buildings were ! consumed. His loss was complete as there was no insurance. The origin j of ihe fire is wrapped in mystery, Mr. Boland was well fixed up and his loss is quite a blow to him. We can sympathize with him and can ! only encourage him to cheer up and ! press ahead. ? > - ? Don't Ssll Your Cotton. "We call especial attention to the j card of Messrs. Hull & Tobin, cotton i factors, Augusta, Ga., in which they j make an exceedingly liberal offer to j ! coiton planters, and one which will j | enable them to raise money to meet j ' Dressing- obligations and at the same j X w ~ time hold their cotton until better | prices can be obtained.

Hardly a week passes but some member of the family has need of it. A toothach or headache may be cured by it. A touch of rheumatism or neuralgia quieted. The severe pain of a burn or scald promptly relieved and the sore healed in much less time than when medicine has to be sent for. A sprain may bo promptly treated before inflammation sets in, which insures a cure in about one-third of the time otherwise required. Cuts and bruises should receive immediate treatment before the pails become swollev, which can only be done when Pain Balm is kept at hand. A sore that may be cured before it becomes serious. A troublesome corn may be removed by applying it twice a day for a week or two.
