For further information address JAMES L. SIMS, Lock Box No. 116, Orangeburg, S. C. . No man can be a safe leader in a new movement like the farmers' who has a political hatchet to grind. To be use ful in any cause, one must practice self-denial. A card published in the Chester Re porter, July 1, nominates Rev. E. J. Meynardie, D. D.. for State Superinten dent of Education. We hope Brother Meynardie will let politics alone, and attend to his preaching. With the primary system of nomi nating candidates every tub stands on its own bottom, and if a fellow is left at home he must not get mad, as the people has only given him a little inti mation that his services are not need ed. It would not be a bad idea for those papers that have been howling so over the acquittal of Fergerson in Abbev'lle to give some attention to the acquittal of Dr. Rellinger in Charleston. The only difference we can see is that Fer gerson killed a white man and Dr. Bellinger killed a negro. The President signed the bill restor ing General Fitz John Porter to the army from which lie was unjustly dis missed. For years he has been a pa tient, suffering martyr, and now, in his old age, he is vindicated. We con gratulate the government that it has at last done him partial justice. It is said that Mr. Randall's tariff bill raises the duty on clothing and re duces the tax on tobacco and whiskey. Well, we rather think this is putting the cart before the horse. Why not let the tax on whiskey and tobacco remain as it is and lower the duty on clothing and other articles of prime necessity ? The Greenville Xews thinks that ? Capt. B. R. Tillman should be a mem ber of the no t Legislature, and savs it.is hard to understand how he can give the movement, of which he is the recognized head, effect while he rer mains on his farm at Hamburg and the Legislature is in session at Colum bia. Wte notice on one of the numerous State tickets floating around the press the name of Gen. Jas. F. Izler for At torney-General. We have no idea that General Izlar would accept the nomi nation if offered him, but the State could get no better Attorney-General than he would make if he was called to the position. Colonel John Peter Richardson, Gen. John Bratton, Colonel W. C. Coker, Colonel B. W. Edwards, Colonel C. S. AlcCaU, Colonel A. C. Haskell and several others are now mentioned as possible nominees for the Governor ship. Either of these gentlemen would give the State a wise, conservative and prograssivc administration.. Occasionally we feel called upon, to do a little missionary work with the Xews and Courier, and when it howls out about punishing men for com-' mitting murder we feel encouraged. But unfortunately its spasm'of virtue does not last long, and we soon find it very easy on a murderer who is just about as guilty as those it wanted hung. The Augusta Chronicle says that Mayor Courtenay's little "booinlct" for the Governorship seems to have died i out simultaneously with Iiis departure for Europe. It lasted until he reached New York. Generous Bob ITemphill has published a letter from the Mayor lately, written just before he left Char leston, but this was doubtless done to let the "boom" down easily and pre vent an explosion. The Senate Committee has declined, by a large majority, to recommend the confirmation of Matthews to succeed Fred Douglass, ;ts Recorder of Deeds for the District of Columbia. The ostensible reason assigned is that Matthews is not a citizen of the Dis trict, but the real reason is said to be the hostility of the Republican Sena tors to Democratic negroes. Matthews was rejected on a party vote, all the Republicans voting against him. Sexatou Hale seems to be of the opinion that the President is undigni fied and trivial in preventing small peculations in the form of fraudulent pension bills, and that he might to rise to the sublime height of Maine states manship and favor the abstraction of millions from the public treasury, to be given'away as subsidies. At the last Presidential election the country 'decided in favor of honesty in all tilings, both groat and small, and against the Maine statesmanship in which Mr. Hale is forced to believe. Honesty is never undignified and trivial. Our Martyred Dead. Orangeburg County is one of the few counties in the State that has no monu ment to commemorate the heroism and gallantry of her sons who fell in the defence of Southern liberty and self government. Amid the carnage of war no braver or truer men followed the fortunes of the "Lost Cause" than the gallant and patriotic sons of this grand old county, and none laid down their lives more willingly than they did in defence of this just and righteous cause. It is true that the banner that these noble and chivalrous spirits laid down their lives to uphold has been "furled forever," and the cause for which they fought and died has been crushed by the stern arbitrament of arms, yet their memories live, and will live as long as our men and women are true to their God, to their country and to themselves. Such bravery and heroism as they displayed, cannot die. Though we refuse to do our duty by neglecting to erect a monument to their memory or. decorate their graves with sweet flowers, the deeds of these noble, self-sacrificing patriots will not be forgotten, but will be handed down from generation to generation, and our children's children will be taught that no braver or more heroic band of patriots ever went forth to battle for home and liberty than the Confederate soldier. With these sentiments inspir ing us, we were glad to see that the second regiment of artillery at its re cent reunion tit Branchville had deter mined to move in the matter, and take steps to erect a monument at this place to the Confederate dead of our county. It is a movement in which the pro jectors should have the worm support of all of our people. This matter has been neglected too long already, and now that the surviving comrades of our martyred dead have determined to remove this reproach from our county, let us all fall in and go to work, and never cease until a monument second to none in the State is reared tn com memorate the virtues and heroic deeds of Orangeburg's martyred dead. We assure the committee of the hearty and willing support of this paper in their praiseworthy and noble work. The Democratic Party ami the Farmers. So far as we are concerned, we are perfectly willing to trust the destinies of the Democratic party of the county to the farmers. They have always been true to the best interests of the county and State, and we do not see why any one should feel the least alarm about the present movement. As taxpayers they should take a lively interest in public affairs, and the fact that they are doing so is one of the most hopeful signs of the future. Let the farmers come to the Democratic Convention with well formulated plans for carry ing into operation their views, and they will have no trouble in executing them. Majority rule is the fundamental prin ciple upon which the Democratic party is built, and the farmers being largely in the majorty in the party, have a right to rule its counsels, and no good Democrat lias a right to object to this, as the minute he does so he ceases to be a Democrat. This being the case, we say to the farmers of Orangeburg County, elect your very best men to represent you in the County Conven tion which meets on the 22d instant. K needs be, instruct these delegates to pursue a certain policy to carry out your views. In this [way you can do what you please, and put in the offices whom you please. We would advise the fanners, however, to shun deinogogues and take as leaders men of their calling who are successful in their business. Men who claim to be farmers, but who do not demonstrate the fact by a suc cessful career on the farm arc hardly the men to lead us out of the wilder ness. These men arc place hunters, and it makes no difference to them how they secure it. Our farmers should be represented by the most, successful of their class. An Editors Duty. Amid all the conflicting elements of life, the editor has a hard time of it. What to do under till circumstances often perplexes Iiis mind. Policy dic tates one thing, principle another. In tegrity suggests one course, and ex pediency suggests another. What then must he do? The editor who "rifles the fence," on any subject, sooner or later comes to grief. Expediency will serve him but for u season. The path of honor and truth, is the path for him to tread. He must walk in the path of duty in the fear of no man. He must "do good and eschew" evil, and ever stand up and speak out boldly for the good, the true and the pure, and always against the wrong and the impure, and have no thought for the consequences; God will take care of them. Let the editor pursue this course, and he can laugh at criticism, for then he will know that the path of duty is the only path of safety. The editor who does not follow this course, will lind out that his work is a failure. This is the course we have worked out for our sslves. and despite whatever may cross i our path, we intend with God's help to I wall; in it. We intend to speak the ? truth in advocating the right and cou : dimming the wrong; to "hew to the line j let the chips fall whore they may." with I malice toward none. If this does not suit anybody, we can't help it. The above from the Sumtcr Advance states ! the position of the editor so well, that we transfer it to our columns in toto. It expresses our sentiments exactly. The Telephone Investigation. The resolution reported by the ma jority of the Pan Electric Congression al investigating committee declares emphatically the conclusion already reached by all impartial people who have followed the investigation. Not a fact has been brought to light that gives any reason for questioning the integrity or the honor of any of the federal officers connected with the Pan Electric Company. Mr. Hale, who does not concur with the other Democrats in the whole of the report, joins in re porting this resolution. This fact shows how maliciously the Bell tele phone organs have misrepresented that gentleman's position. The resolution will doubtless be adopted by a party vote in the House, since the Republi cans appear determined to make a par ty matter of the charges. Meanwhile, however, the suit will go on, and the desperate effort made by the Bell com pany and its organs to scare the ad ministration into abandoning it will fail. The manifest fright of the BeB people gives some reason to hope that the public may be relieved from the burden now imposed upon it by this monopoly._ Money Crops. Some of the North Carolina papers oppose the "all tobacco" theory as strongly as the South Carolina'papers lo the "all cotton" theory. The Win ston Progressive Farmer expresses as its opinion that "it is only a question of time when the great bulk of those who raise tobacco, to the neglect of home supplies, will be in the hands of the sheriff." The Danbury Reporter brings the figures to bear as follows: "It is estimated that the work required to grow 100 pounds of tobacco on new ground, worth in many cases not more than 85, will produce 25 bushels of corn, which is worth almost any year 825, yet many people say that tobacco is the only money crop.. The true theory is to make home supplies the main object, and then devote what at tention you can to money crops. When our farmers do this there will be no use for the lien law._ Bull vs. Mule. The Darlington News mentions that a diversified specimen of advanced farming was seen in that town recent ly from the farm of Capt. P. Whipple, being a registered Holstein bull draw ing a cart loaded with wool from Southdown sheep. This is a good deal better than a Kentucky mule drawing from town an Ohio wagon loaded with Virginia hay, Chicago meat, Indiana corn and Minnesota flour, with a little North Carolina tobacco, all to be tjsed in making a little 8 cent cotton. Jy.et us have a little more of the bull and the wool in this country. Some of the papers speak of Gover nor Thompson's elevation in alluding to his appointment" as Assistant Sec retary of the Treasury at Washington. We fail to see the elevation. As a State Rights Democrat we think the Governorship of South Carolina a more elevated position than an Assistant Secretary of the United States Treasury, Taste will differ about such things however. _ Ix Halifax, Nova Scotia, the voters have learned the art of stealing and stuffing ballot-boxes and counting in their candidates. They justify their conduct on the ground that the same thing was done in America a few years ago, and one Hayes, by fraud, was the beneficiary of the office of President with the advice and consent of the United States Senators. The State Convention. The following is the call for the Democratic State Convention to as semble in Columbia on the 4th of August: A Convention of the Democratic party of the State id'South Carolina will be held at Columbia on Wednes day, August 4, 1880, at 12 m., in the Hall of the House of Representatives, for the following purpose: 1. To nominate candidates for Gover nor and Lieutenant Governor and for other State officers. 2. To elect the State Democratic Executive committee, to serve for the ensuing two years. 3. To consider and transact such further and other business as the con vention may deem proper. Each county in the State will be re presented in the convention by twice as many delegates as the number of its representatives in both branches of the present General Assembly. The county executive committee are charged with the duty of making ar rangements for the election of dele gates to the convention in accordance with the rules in force in the several counties. _ Examination for Naval Academy, A Competitive Examination will be held at the city ol Charleston, July Sttth, 1886, for the appointment of a Navel Cadet from the First Con gressional District of South Carolina. The following requisites are essential, viz: 1. Residence in the Congressional Distrist. 2. Age between 14 and is years on September 1, I8?fi. Sound health and freedom from physical delect and infirmity. i. Thorough knowledge of Geogra phy, History. English Grammar, Read ing, Spelling. Writing, Arithemctic, and Hay's Higher Algebra to page III, or it equivalent. Further particulars will lie given hereafter. S.\mi:kl Diimi.i;. Frank Gaston, colored, was hanged Friday at Salisbury in the presence of a large crowd for rape upon a white woman some weeks ago. General Xevrs. ' Lightning struck and killed Julius Thomas colored, near Belton Tuesday week. Two of Rev. J. 13. Brigman's little boys were killed by lightning Monday week at Vaucluse. The rains have done great damage in Kentucky, Virginia, North Carolina and South Carolina. R. J. Lane, President of the Abbin g don, (Mass.) National Bank, has been arrested. Short $160,000. Mrs. Rose Merkihoffer of Brooklyn gave birth to a baby boy which had whiskers half an inch lo"ng on each side of its facet It died three hours after being born. The Seminole Indians in the South ern part of Florida take great glory in their superiority to the white men in being still allowed to hold slaves, while it is forbidden to white men. The Cotton States Life Insurance Company of Macon, Georgia, has come to grief. There have been grave charges brought against it, and a bill asking for the appointment of a re ceiver has been filed. Jenkins "Wright, colored, who mur dered his wife and threw her body into the fire, was hanged at Uamptoh Fri day. His own child was the principal witness at the trial, but he denied his guilt to the last. Accounts from Eastern North Caro lina and the lower Counties of Virgi nia regarding cotton and other crops are discouraging, owing to the recent heavy rains, which have, it is thought, done much damage. A hen, crossed between Cochin China and Plymouth Rock belonging to Mr. H. L. B. Wells of Sumter, has laid an egg measuring 7% by 0% inches and weighing ounces. The hen has laid a number of such eggs. Near Cypress, Darlington Countv, a colored exhorter, Townsend Stevens, was caught in a barn where he entered with a false key. Mr. Stuckey, who was on the watch, turned ;he fatal key on the reverend gentleman. Rev. Father J. E. O'SuUIvan,former ly Catholic priest in Camillas, N. Y., found guilty of outrage on Abbie O'Connor, formerly a domestic in his house, was sentenced to eleven years in Auburn State prison. Charles Johnson, colored, was shot and badly wounded, near Walterboro recently,'while ploughing in his field. His assassin was in ambush, but is supposed to have been the owner of some hogs taken up several days before by Johnson. A man's thigh bone, broken in three places, and a part of his jaw, contain ing five sound teeth, were washed up on the railroad near Lancaster by the recent rains. They are supposed to be an Indian's as Indian wares were found near the same spot. Henry Freer, colored, who was shot by Peter Henderson, colored, in a negro gambling house in Charleston last Sun day morning, died on Thursday morn ing last. The difficulty was over a game of cards for a glass of beer, with outside bets of ten cents. Postmaster Frank Brown, of Balti more, is much concerned about $1,000 additional salary. He is worth nearlv $2,000,000, but cannot let that extra nibble pass. The richer some men get the more pertinacious they become in running down the last farthing. The terrible black diptheria has in vaded the towns of Ecorse,Springwells and Royal Oak, near Detroit, and is carrying off large numbers of victims. Children are taken sick without warn ing, their throats swell and in a few hours they die in great agony. An inquest over the body of Mrs. Clara Rhoden at Vaucluse, June 21st, resulted in the finding that the deceased had been murdered. K. Rhoden, the husband of the deceased, was thereupon arrested and lodged in jail at Aiken, charged with the murder of his wife. At Nanticoke, Pa., on Thursday last Edward Boyliss murdered Iiis wife for being criminally intimate with John P. Puckey, one of the leading business men of the town and a pillar in the Methodist Church. Only two Sundays ago Puckey led a prayer-meeting at the church. Said a member of a recently drawn Georgia grand jury : "We can hardly be expected to indict men for carrying concealed weapons when the major part of the jury themselves are ballast ed to their seats during their delibera tions by the weight of pistols hi their hip pockets." The Palmetto Post says lightning struck a clock on the mantelpiece at the house of R. X. Wright, colored, Tuesday evening and smashed iL to pieces, the pieces falling into the lap of the owner's wife, who was sitting near. The grass in the vases was set on lire. No one was hurt. Jimniie, son of Mr. .Tames B. Cole man, of Itidgewhy, was in bathing several days since "and while in water three or more feet deep, was bitten on the foot by a snake which he had step ped upon." It has been thought that a snake could not bite in water but this instance disproves it. Muscular Christianity seems to be popular in Chicago. A few nights ago the pastor of the West Side German Evangelical Church and his assistant got into a discussion about church matters which ended in a slugging match. The pastor got whipped and had his assistant arrested. Mrs. M. K. Burton, a Spiritualist,, gave a public seance at her house in Philadelphia recently. When the room was darkened everybody was silent for half an hour. Then one of the men touched the woman and found she was cold. A further examination revealed the fact that she was dead. A tornado swept down upon Flor ence on Thursday, levelling huge trees and blowing down several houses. The people rushed into the streets terror stricken. A house belonging to Mr. Collins was blown over the heads of Ephraim Black, colored, his wife and children, but they escaped unhurt. When Robert Houston was buried at Coultcrsvillc, III., the other day, in; was laid by the side, of his second wife, while his first wife stood by among the mourners. It happened this way. J Houston married in Scotland, where he and his wife were born. They rear ed a family of live children, ami were then divorced. Each married again, and his wife and her husband died.. After years had passed, Houston again married his first wife, and again they separated. When the woman heard of I Houston's illness, she volunteered her services, and nursed him. Cnre Tor riles. Piles are frequently preceeded by ;i sense of weight in the back, loins and lou'er part ot the abdomen, causing the patient to suppose he has some affec tion of the kidneys or neighboring or gans. At times, symptoms of indiges tion are present, flatulency, uneasiness of the stomach, etc. A moisture like perspiration, producing a very dis agreeable itching, after getting warm, is a common attendant. Blind, Bleed ing and Itching Tiles yield at once to the application of Dr. Bosanko S Pile Remedy, which acts directly upon the parts affected, absorbing the Tumors, allaying the intense itching, and effect ing "a permanent cure.
