Let our watchword be, Carolina for all and all for Carolina. The True Status of the jProhi- . bition Vote. During our recent absence from Ai ken an editorial appeared In The journal aqd Review', of the 12th of November, commenting on the result of the recent election on the question of ‘•License” or “No License,” and plso upon our editorial in The Re- cobder of the 11th, accompanying the-same. In reply'to that article we beg leave (o state that the friends of Prohibition have never pretended that the election on the license question was a legal election; all that thev aimed at ami all that they Accomplished was the elicitation of the sentiment of the Democratic party on this great moral question. The question w r as fairly submitted at nineteen out of the twen ty precincts in the county, the twen tieth precinct not voting in conse quence of the loss of the box by the person entrusted with its transmission to the managers. At these nineteen precincts 1,864 votes were cast, of which ‘‘No License” received 1,001, and ‘‘License” 773, giving a clear ma jority for “No License” of 318 votes. Every Democrat, whether white or colored, was freely accorded the priv ilege of voting, and if any abstained from Y°tiug it is nqtural to suppose that they \ycre prepared to acquiesce in the result, which persons generally regarded as a foregoqe conclusion in favor qf “No License.” The vote was large and the majority decisive It is true that the total vote at the primary election, in July, for the nomination of county officers, reached 2,6-59 votes, but it seems un reasonable (o attempt to make the yote at this ojectiou the standard of measqremeqt for the election on the license question, Neither were legal elections; both were merely el loca tions of party sentiment—one as to candidates for office, the other as to the merits of a great m ur *d question Affecting the welfare of the entire community. Each ejection could be decided in no other way than by the vote cast. Those interested in the Primary election of 1884 could no more afford to adopt the Primary of 1882 as a s andard of measurement than could those interested in the Pri mary on the license question held ou the 4th of November, 1884, afford to make the Primary held in July, 1884, for thp selevt-ou of candidates, the Standard (ft its measurement.. Each flection, un^er the frgical operation coii r tQtal: opposed to-the movement of making Aiken County dry because it is depri ving our citizens of a liberty guaran teed them by the constitution of the United 8tut«s. From the tono of the above we are constrained to suspect that our co temporary has never read the Consti tution of the United States. But whether be has or not, we recommend him to get a copy and read the gener al welfare clause. More than this, we invite his attention to the following decisions and propositions of emi nent jurists: Cnief Justice Taney of the United State Supreme Court, held the following opinion in an important case: “If any State deem the retail and internal traffic in ardent spirits inju rious to its citizens and calculated to produce idleness, vice, or debauchery, I see nothing in the Constitution of the United States to prevent it from prohibiting it altogether if it thinks proper.” Hon. Justice McLean said, “No man can claim a license to retail spir its as a matter of right;” and the fol lowing live general propositions are laid down by a distinguished writer, Justice Edwards; “1—Society has a right to protect itself. This clearly extends to every thing where the injury or wrong would be done. Society would cease without this right. 2— Society should not by its laws protect evil. 3— Society should not undertake to regulate evil by law; its business is to remove it. 4— Society has a right to take efficient means to prevent or remove an evil. Its decretion is ample. • 5— Society has a right to prevent or remove aq evil by destroying private property or rendering it valueless if necessary.” It would be unnecessary for us to discuss these decisions because they are already the law of the land, still less is it necessary for us to discuss the five propositions of Justice Ed wards, because they are axiomatic principles which constitute the bed rock upon which all law is founded. We simply recommend them to our co-temporary for perusal, and sug gest that in tlie future he be a little more guarded wlien he makes deliver ances upon that important document, the Constitution of the United States. In conclusion we cannot forbear an expression of regret that our co-tem- porary should deem it expedient to champion the interests of the liquor saloon and the liquor traffic. It re mained silent so long that we at least hoped it would have continued its neutral course unto the end, but at the eleventh hour it bounced from its po sition on the fence, and now we find it the active champion of a nefarious traffic which drives out the sunshine of happiness from the domestic fire side, takes the bread \of virtue andt Thanksgiving Day. Thursday next, the 27th Novem ber, having been designated both by proclamation of the president of the United States and of the Governor of South Carolina as a day of Thanks giving religious services will he held in all our churches. We therefore sincerely trust that all places of busi ness will he closed on that day so that every individual may be afforded the opportunity of repairing to his or her accustomed place of worship and observing the occasion in a becoming manner. ■As a people and as individuals we owe an immense debt of gratitude to our omnipotent and merciful Crea tor who has brought us in safety through the perils of another year, and it is our bounden duty as a Christ ian people to make our humble ac knowledgements of His gracious goodness and mercy towards us. While other lands have been scourged with pestilence and bloodshed we as a people have been spared these miser ies and been safely guided through a great national election without serious disturbance and find ourselves on the borders of a new era in our national history which we have every reason to believe will obliterate the animosi ties of the past and bind the states of this glorious nation in such bonds of fraternal union, tiiat peace, happiness and contentment wiil reign supreme throughout our borders, each com monwealth seeking only to rival the other in making the most substantial contributions to the general welfare of our common country. We stand once more in the house of our fathers on terms of equality and fraternity with our sister states. Let us give praise “ to Him who is the author of every good and perfect gift.” Our County Chairman. The election is over and the smoke of battle has cleared away, and our citizens are settling themselves with re-doubled zeal to their accustomed avocations. We cannot foybear, how ever, in this connection to extend our cordial well-done to the Hon. D. S. Henderson, our energetic and effi cient Democratic Chairman, of Aiken County. His admirable executive abil ity has been clearly demonstrated by a large Democratic vote,notwithstand ing the lack of enthusiasm and the quietness of the election. Moreover, the financial obligations of the party have been met with a promptness al together unprecedented. We tafcs this me; South. The war is ended, the h is buried, and our people cry oi peace, honesty and economy, too late for Mr. Blaine to the alarm about the franchij the negro.

It is the first in stance in which a Presidential candi date, maddened by defeat has tried to inoculate his country with sectiona.’ passions in revenge for its choice another man.

A* t» what Mr. Cqthbert may or iqay not have said in an extemporaue- pus appeeft cannot change results or effect the solemn utterances of a con vention representing every portion of the County. More than this, Mr. Cuthbert emphatically denies the ex pression* attributed to him by The Journal qud Review and its corres pondents, and pur memory sustains him in his denial. No official act or resolution of the friends of Prohibition affords any pretence for claiming that p majority of the whole registered Democratic vote was necessary to decide the question in favor of “No License,” This is not deemed neces sary for the nomination of a Demo cratic candidate,and it was not thought necessary to establish new principles difficult of compliance, and at vari ance with equity for this election. ouyiis o: nocent women and children, make! criminals and paupers of men who might be useful citizens, and imposes taxes on the industrious and sober for the support of the vicious and idle.

The friend* of complied witli all temperance have the conditions in volved and have won a signal victory; so signal, in fact, that the friends of the liquor saloon and the liquor traffic see the handwriting oq the wall, and in their alarm seek to raise a cloud of frivolous objections which shrive) into hisignilieauce before anything like a ,dpuir and candid investigation, Y The talk about the disfrauehise- 4*meiit of the colored people is disin- ijeuuous and unworthy of our coteui- 4i)orttry. No oue was disfranchised, Tbecause it was only a party vote and /^all who had tlie right to vote, whether white or colored, were afforded tlie op portunity, whether they exercised it or not. This method was adopted be cause it was earnestly desired to keep the question aloof from politics. It was desired to afford not the slightest foundation for malevolent misrepre sentation, which would assuredly have pursued the friends of Prohibition if the colored people had been invited to vote on the question, and the very persons who are now so sensitive about the franchise of the “brother in black,” would have been among tlie first to raise a howl about a third party, and similar clap-trap. The friends of Prohibition happened to be foo wide awake to be caught with chaff, and the intelligent colored peo ple understand fully the circumstances and appreciate tlie prudence and fore sight of those charged with the re sponsibility of this important move ment. We can assure our friends of The Journal and Review that the colored people are fully alive to the impor tance of tlie Prohibition question, and In their own way will take such ac tion as will insure as respectful con sideration from our legislative assem- k My as if they had voted in a special Carolina for All ami All for Carolina. It is suggested by Gen. Edward McCrady, of Charleston, that the present method of grouping by coun ties the members of the lower house of our General Assembly be abandoned, and that each member obtain by lot his individual seat, thus, scattering the delegations indiscriminately over the hall of Representatives. We regard the suggestion as emi nently wise and patriotic, and thor oughly in keeping with that fervent loyalty to the best interests of the Which should permeate every f our citizenship and cause each tor to feel that his views and 5 are not to be circumscribed by boundaries and local partizan- ut that he is a trustee of the charged with the geucral w el fare of the whole State. It is full time that the demagogical phrases “up-country” and “low- country” should be seaie 1 from our political vocabulary. They should have no existence except as geograph ical terms. Every true eon of Caro lina should rebuke with indignation those restless spirits who seek to erect political and social barriers in the iqidst of a patriotic and homogeneous people, whose past history demon strates with wonderful perspicuity the harmonious symmetry of our citizen ship. ‘Whatever of moral power or political influence Soutii Carolina lias wielded in the affairs of this nation has been intensified by tlie unity with which her forces have always been brought to bear, and we desire to see the same esprit de corps and patriot ism rule our actions now. Every citr izeu of Houtii Carolina, whether from the stormy coast of the Atlantic or tlie grassy slopes of the Rlue Ridge, should be animated with an all-per vading feeling that he has a heritage in every foot of soil within her bor ders. His patriotism should not be circumscribed by sectional lines, leasure tof place on record a rhiagiQkip/n of valuable se which are sustained by hard facts and substantial results. which have no existence except in mischievous imaginations, but he should feel a proprietary interest in every grain of sand within her bor ders. He should remember that Car olina's honor is his honor, and that to the extent of the talents entrusted to his keeping he is responsible for her advancement in the fields of moral and material progress. This grouping of the Representa tives of eacli county in compact bod- Blnine's Incendiary Speech. We publish on our first page the un- dignitied and incendiary speech made on Tuesday uight last, the 18th of November, by James G. Blaine, at his home in the city of Augusta, in the State of Maine, The occasion was a serenade by some of Mr. Blaine’s friends and admirers, though some respecta ble Northern journals who thorough ly understand the character and methods of the man boldly state, that neither the serenade nor the speech were impromptu affairs, but that the serenade was organized by Blaine himself, and that his querulous twit terings were in faet the result of care ful preparation, and “may be regarded as his solemn valedictory.” We doubt if the evil character of any other American citizen is so thor oughly known and appreciated as that of Mr. Jus. G. Blaine, of tlie State of Maine, and for that reason if for no other, it would have been well if he had confined himself to a cordial re ception of his friends, and a dignified acquiescence in the irreversable ver dict of a National election. But the malignant selfish nature of the man would not permit such a concession to tlie proprieties. He who had com- menced his career by the betrayal of the woman whom he had selected as his future wife, and who had amassed millions by making merchandise of his honor and manhood, while charged with high official trusts could not be expected to possess that mag nanimity of soul, which only accom panies a clean heart and a clear con science. Realizing that all the ter? giversations and scoundrelisms of a long ami active career, backed by millions of ill-gotten wealth, had fail ed to secure for him the great object of his ambition, like a wounded serpent, surcharged with its own ve nom, he sought his opportunity and poured forth the poisonous secretions of his corrupt mind and dishonest heart upon those of his fellow-country-men, who had repudiated him and his methods, and who in the bonds of fraternity equality and honesty, have determined to obliterate sectional lines and inaugurate an era of nat'on al good will, which will enforce an honest and economic administration of the government, and open up a magnificent epoch of material pros perity, which will excite tlie envy and admiration of the nations of the earth. The people of this country, North, South, East and West, realize too thoroughly the magnitude of the is les on the floor of the House savors sues decided by the election of Grover too much of the marshalling of hos- .

If the Repub n party does not unload itself Blaine after this speech it will damnation to defeat. The New York World, under caption “Vale Blaine,” writes as lows: Blaine organized a serenade for hi self at Augusta last uight, and in r sponse to the music of the band d' livered a carefully prepared speec^ which may be regarded as solemn va edictory. It was a speech full of cunj niug malignancy, and it was the do trine of hate intensified as preache by Blaine before the idea occurred him that he might, as candidate fo President, obtain a few votes in fch Southern States. In his hour of de feat and humiliation, Blaine resunjei his warfare upon the people of th section despised by the helots of th Republican party. There is little tha is new in his voice from the valley o humiliation. The American peoph have heard recently about all that he] has to say of the danger of admittin* the South to full participation in the] affairs of the government, and about] all that he is able to say on the subjec of protecting our industries. The ver dict pronounced against him has been emphatic. He has been told that he is not wanted. He has been told that Ins stories about Southern people are slanders, and if he had more sensi bility and a shade of personal pride he would have quickly subsided when the fiat was pronounced against him. Blaine seems determined, however,T< leave nothing undone to prove that he is entitled to the contempt of all true friends of the republic. His implaca ble speech may disturb and disquiet the poor negroes of the South, but the country will see in it only the coward ly rancor of a defeated candidate and relegate it to the limbo of tin helmets, shriveled plumes and other discarded campaign properties. The Times says: Mr. Blaine took the occasion of a serenade at Augusta last evening, in tended as a personal compliment bv his townsmen, to deliver the most bit ter and mischievous sectional speech that has been heard in the North for many a day. An honest defeat seems to have extinguished all the generous sentiment which he professed to have when he penned his letter of accep tance, or rather it shows that the let ter was paraded in the hope of win ning Southern votes, and having fail ed in that, he allows his real temper. He belies the Northern influence that contributed to his defeat, and treats the result as a transfer of the control of the government to the South, which he professes to believe is fraught with misfortune to tlie coun try. He shows no conception of the principle that the government belongs to the people of tlie whole country, and no party or section, and endeavors to revive old antagonism and hatreds and to inflame the fears of Southern negroes. A more unpatriotic, mis chievous and bitterly sectional and narrow spirit than Blaine exhibits in defeat is inconceivable, and add an other to the many causes for congratu lation that the country has been saved from an adminstration dominated by such a spirit. ,, Mrs. C.\V.

It is substantially constructed, and the buckets never come in contact with each other, or the sides of the well, and the groove provided in the wheel is so arranged as to produce but little friction on the rope and nene ea tha pulley. IT WORKS EASILY. The buckets balance each other, so the only resistance to overcome li weight of the water in one bucket; hence it is the only structure that will raise water from deep wells without a corresponding increase of friction, and t that requires no more power to operate in a well of 100 feet than in one af 10 feet depth. IT IS ALWAYS READY FOR USE AND ALWAYS AT ITS BEST. After years of service the same number of turns of the crank brings tha same amount of water as when new. IT HAS NONE OF THE OBJECTIONS COMMON TO PUMPS. It will never freeze, has no wooden tubing to wear out, decay and pollntd the water, no iron tubing to rust, never has to be primed, packed or thawed out, and you do not have to pump out a pail full of water to get h freah, cool drink. It is entirely free from danger. Being provided with a self-acting brake, governed by an eccentric, it la impossible, should the hand accidentally slip from the crank, for the bucket to run down. Hence any child can handle it with perfect safety. t3F“THE ENTIRE STRUCTURE CONSISTS OF WELL COVER, WHEEL WITH CRANK, two buckets and one spout for each bucket. These spouts are attached to inside of curb or frame, and are operated by rod pressure from the outside, bringing them up under andtaising the valve in the bottom of the bucket and conveying the water to a proper receptacle. Hence it will be seen that the unpleasant handling of ropes and buckets will be done away with, and the uncleanliness attending such operation avoided.
