It is said that Maine will take the
stump soon to help secure the next
House of Representatives for the Re
publicans. _
the latest from Texas is that 30,000
troops can be raised in one week and
start for the "green fields and pastures
new", across the border and "beyond
the river." But just hold on and hear
more._
TltE Augusta Chronicle wants to
know what the red shirts of South
Carolina would have said had the elec
tion of (Jen. Hampton not been follow
ed by an ollicial slaughter of the Repub
lican "ins" and an official revival of the
Democratic "outs?"
Attention is directed to the fact
that no Confederate soldier can bold ;i
commission in the service of the United
States unless specially exempt by act
of Congress from the existing law.
This may dampen the ardor of some
who have been eager for war with
Mexico._
The sensational story that a colored
woman in Southern Georgia killed and
roasted a child and served its flesh at a
colored picnic and was burned at the
stake when the guests found what
they had eaten, is proved to be a lie
from the whole cloth invented by a
traveling man._
UovEitKOit Ireland's proclamation,
asking for relief for the drouth suffer
ers in Texas, is much more sensible
than his threatened call for troops to
whip Mexico. And it will be far more
generously responded to. We have
millions for drouth sufferers, but not a
cent for war. We are for peace and
plenty of it.
It is now shown that the Macon, Ca.,
people who bunged Moore, an ex-police
man, for decoying "an innocent and
friendless country girl," into a house
of ill repute and assaulting her were
rather hasty. . Indisputable evidence
from the girl's home proves that she is
a notorious strumpet und blackmailer
and a hardened liar._
Gen. Titos. l. James, who was Post
master-Gtneral in the Garfleld Cabinet,
has applied for enrollment as ;i mem
ber of the Prohibition party in the
Twenty-first Assembly District New
York sity. Thus the process of Re
publican disintegration steadily goes
on. Some become Prohibitionists,
some Democrats and many Mug
wunir^f^ ?
The llepublieati Positivster at
Georgetown, S. C, has gone wrottg to
the tune of !?1.000. Ho was caught liP
with by a postollice inspector, who was
sent down to investigate him, The
most ardent civil service reformer in
the Stute can hardly object to his
being turned out, so we hope the Presi
dent will bounce him and give his place
to a Democrat. _
At the Abbeville primaries held lust
week Gen. It. 11. [lemphill. the talented
editor of the Medium, was unanimous
ly nominated for the State Senate.
This is a compliment that our genial
friend should appreciate, us it certain
ly shows that he has a strong hold on
the. affections of the people of his
county, if a clear record us a gallant
Confederate soldier entitles a man to
anything, the General is fully entitled
to all the honor he bus received. He
has our congratulations.
Tin: civil service commission has.
until recently, been so busy reforming
other people that it lacked the oppor
tunity for self-examination. It was
thus saved some pangs it might other
wise have felt. Now that politics is
dull the commission is reforming itself.
Doyle, a Democrat, is appointed secre
tary to the commission, and to neutra
lize him, Webster, a Republican, is ap
pointed chief examiner. The other
subordinates are now Democrats, a
great reform. Senator Vance would
say, since the incoming of the present
administration, when pretty much the
whole machinery of the system was
Republican.
Revolution has been reduced to a
tine art in southeastern Europe. A
few months ago the only question con
cerning Prince Alexander of Bulgaria
seemed to be us to the probable rapidi
ty of the extension id' bis kingdom
through the acquisition of Turkish
territory. Monday morning's dis
patches bring tin- announcement that
Alexander bus suddenly been compelled
to abdiente and been hustled out of his
kingdom without a drop of blood shed
?r even Hie firing of a gun. The de
thronement of Alexander has clearly
been accomplished at the dictation of
Russia, and there is excitement and
alarm in diplomatic circles throughout
Europe.
A Very Restricted View.
The Orangeb?rg Times and Demo
crat cannot or will not. it seems, look
higher than the rim of the political
mash-tub, and it believes that the view
of the people of South Carolina is
bounded by the same low horizon. It
says :
"The News and Courier may blow
just as much us it pleases about civil
service in South Carolina being popu
lar and all that, but we will wager a
hut that four-fifths of the Democrats
of the State, on a direct vote, would be
in favor of President Cleveland's turn
ing the last Republican out ofoflice
and filling his place with a good Demo
crat. That is the kind of a civil service
reform we want, and the quicker we
get it the better."
Our Orangeburg contemporary wants
very little, und apparently is not asham
ed of the humble character of its de
sires. It cjin hardly be accepted ;is
authority, however, regarding the
sentiment of the whole people of South
Carolina, on the subject of Civil Ser
vice reform, when it is entirely ignor
ant of the sentiment of the Democracy
of its own county. This is shown by
the .fact that at the Democratic Con
gressional Convention, held at Orange
burg last Thursday, the whole Orange
burg delegation voted solidly for ('apt.
Bryan's resolution endorsing President
Cleveland's Civil Service reform policy.
?Newsand Courier, August 23.
It is true that we have been unable
to look any higher than the rim of the
political mash-tub from the fact that
such emin * civil service reformers
as editor Dawson of the News and
Courier had so crowded the vicinity of
the tub in their efforts to secure places
for brothers-in-law and other kins
people that there was really no room
for simple people like ourself who had
no favors to ask for friends or self. If
we could say the same of the editor of
the News and Courier that be says of
us about looking no higher than ttie
rim of the political mash-tub, we would
have more faith in his civil service re
form sermons, but unfortunately he
looked higher tlutn the rim. In fact,
he got in the tub, immediately after
Cleveland's election, and we do not
believe he will ever get out until he is
pulled out.
Our eotemporary says we want very
little. It might have gone further and
said that we did not want anything
from the 1 ands of President Cleveland
for ourseli' or friends, not even a soft
place for a brother-in-law, and it would
have still been strictly truthful. Wedo
want to see, however, Republicans
turned out and good Democrats turned
in, and in this we believe we have
four-fifths of the people of the State
with us. So far as the vote of our
delegation in the Congressional Con
vention is concerned, we do not believe
that it rellects the views of the people
of this County any more than it does
ours. In. fact, we believe, that a ma
jority of the delegates in that conven
tion voted for the civil service resolu
tion as a mutter of policy rather than
as a matter of principle. As a stroke
of policy they no doubt think it is a
good thing, but when yon pin them
down ;us to a chuice between Republi
cans und Democrats as office-holders
they will choose Democrats every time.
Convict* for th?j Public Itoitdx.
The suggestion made in the Manu
facturer's Record some montlis ago
that the Southern States employ the
convicts in constructing good roails
seems to be meeting with eiins^fienible
favor. The ciiiiih^i^'iLt-ttM^tnvicts in
-\york ttott--brings them into competi
tion* witli fret; schools is becoming so
unpopular that the indications point
to the necessity of its discontinuance
in the near future. Against their
working on the public roads no objec
tions could be made. As it is now, the
roads in most of the States are in very
bud condition, especially in wet weath
er, entailing heavy losses upon all
classes, and especially upon farmers,
causing depreciation in Lin- value of
property and keeping out immigration.
The laws requiring every man to work
so many days a year or pay for a sub
stitute, upon the roads arc unjust, as
the rich man, who may have a dozen
teams using the roads, contributes no
more to keeping them in good condi
tion than the poor man who owns not
even a single horse. Moreover, this
sjstciu bus failed to give tin- South
good roads; and good roads are almost as
essential to the prosperity of the farm
ers as railroads. The annual drain
upon Southern farms on account of
bad roads is far greater than is gener
ally supposed, and their influence in
checking immigration is very serious.
By using their convicts in the construc
tion of good roads under the manage
ment of men who understand roads, the
Southern States could abolish their un
popular road laws und at the same time
gradually build up a system of the very
best roads, thus improving the value of
property, inviting immigation, lessen
ing the burdens of farmers and all
others, and in general add largely to
their own prosperity.
Hon. S?umte! DIMtle.
The unanimous renomination of
tins gentlemen lor Congress by the
convention of the Firft Congressional
District was as graceful on the part of
the members of that body as it was
complimentary to the distinguished
gentleman who was the recipient of the
honor. Mr. Dibble has been a zealous,
faithful member, and he certainly de
served a return to his seat in Congress,
where he is rapidly taking a prominent
position among his colleagues. He is
a bold and independent thinker, and is
not afraid to express his views on
measures ot public policy, it makes no
??????????????5
difference whether they are in accord 1
with those of the nabobs of the party
or not. He is an earnest supporter of
the administration of President Cleve
land, and will do all he can to make
it a grand success. While it is par
ticularly gratifying to us personally
that Mr. Dibble was renominated with
so much unanimity, we feel sure that
the Democracy of the whole District
will hear of his renoiniuation with
pleasure, and will return him to Con
gress by a larger majority than.he ever
received before. We congratulate the
people of the District that it will still
have this able and talented gentleman
to represent them in the halls of'Con
gress.
A Flirlitinj; Chance.
The Democrats certainly have a light
ing chance at least lor the next Senate.
There are now forty-two Republican
Senators, including Riddleberger, and
thirty-lour Democratic. Twenty-live
Senators go out of ollice on the 3d of
March next. Of these sixteen are
Republicans and nine Democrats. Of
the latter, seven have already been
elected or are certain to be. elected,
namely, those from Delaware, Florida,
Maryland, Mississippi, Missouri, Ten
nessee and Texas, and it is almost cer
tain that the Democrat from .West
Virginia will be succeeded by a Demo
crat. This leaves only one of the nine
to be elected?one from Nevada?and
he, unfortunately, will probably be
succeeded by a Republican. Of the
sixteen Republicans whose terms ex
pire in 1887, eight certainly, namely
those from Maine. Massachusetts, Min
nesota, Nebraska, Pennsylvania, Rhode
Island, Vermont and Wisconsin will be
succeeded by Republicans. Rut seven
doubtful Republican seats remain?
those from California, Connecticut,
Indiana, Michigan, New Jersey, New
York and Ohio, and the Democrats will
have to gain only three of these to
secure a tie. a gain of one having al
ready been made in the election of
Daniel in Virginia to succeed Mahone.
A Shame.
Wo learn that Postmaster Hugej, of
Charleston, retains in the postoHiee in
that city a number of the old Radical
politicians that he found in office when
he took charge. These men were given
these places as rewards for political
services rendered the grand old party
and should be bounced instanter, the
News and Courier and civil service
humbug to the contrary notwithstand
ing. It' the Democratic party in Char
leston can't lind good men enough to
fill these offices it had better go into
bankruptcy at once and be done with it.
We are glad to know that an organized
effort will soon be made to clear the
public service in Charleston of alfihcse
obi Radical hacks, arid we flTTvoWly'
hope that it will succeed. Turn the
rascals out, is our motto.
No War. . .

A Serious Cllltrgtt.
Editor Times and Ueinocrttt:
As u watchman on the town i desire
to mention a few items of interest and
inomemtous importance to the public
lor their consideration and welfare in
this coming election. 1 notice among
the list of names those who have tasted
of the perrenial fountains of ollice de
claring their intoxicating effects, by
offering ami asking for the suffrages of
the people again and again. And it :.s
right ami necessary to ask the County
of Oraugebtirg for heaven's sake to
consider what they are going to do, be
fore they really do it. and thereby avoid
a repetition of blunders committed in
the past. Would 1 had the time to
write what 1 wisii to, but that being
forbidden. Pin going to drive immedi
ately at the bull's eye.
Our people are ignorant, and will
fully so. TliT'.v neither read nor do
they desire to know or to find out.
They (not excepting myself) condemn
an innocent man, without judge or
jury, granting him no right of appeal,
ami then attempt to drive him to pul>
lic ruiu surrounded by a high wall.
Such has been the case in the instance
of Dr. J. W.Summers, of whom it can be
justly and truthfully said: No heart
ever pulsated in a truer, nobler breast
than in that of him whom the County,
is largely maligning and defaming. No
man 1'roin the mountain to the sea has
worked harder and sacriliced more for
the good of his people in the represen
tative halls than he, and it only remains
for time in his slow light to testify to
the above. He is a patriot, not only
i for discharging-Iiis duty to the best of
his ability, but for his indifference to
public opinion while discharging that
duty conscientiously. Rut the object
of this writing is not to extol his name
and applaud his acts, (he's too true to
I desire it from any pen or to expect it
j from any source.) Examine Ids record
; and inquire of the body politic of the
state and lind out for yourself.
The object of this writing is to sot
I men to thinking' for themselves in the
I County affairs which are now working
like leaven, and do il in a mighty big
i hurry, too, for the bread is rising and
! the lime is short, too short to correct a
j blunder if they make one.
j And. Mr. Editor, from what 1 can
I learn the County Is going to make as
I grand a blunder in this coming election
;is was ever made within its limits.
Listen to the toot ot no man's horn, it'
he blows it himself, for in politics it is
more than likely to give an uncertain
sound. ? And that is the ease with one
whom the Couniy has had as a repre
sentative ever since 1882. Before you
cast a votefor any man examine'his
record and do so by daylight. Don't
wote fur urn case de party Sit1 so. We
want representatives to represent us?
not themselves. Demand from this
obi member of the House his record
from 1882 to 18815 and make Iii 111 show
cause why he still prays (preys) the
Suffrages of the people In the face of
the fact that in the year 1882 lie was
absent 18 times and present 28 times;
in the year 1888 ho was -Risen; 23 times
and present 34 times: in the year 188-1
he was-absent 23 times and present 31
times; in the year 1885 he was absent.
45 times and present 28 times. Demand
of him why out of 225 roil culls to cast
his vote for the good of his country
was he absent 10JI times und present
only 1H) times. And during this term
of yours he got leave of absence but
once, by the recommendation of oflr
worthy representative, T. M. Itaysor.
And demand of him why he had never
rend the Constitution of his beloved
.State and thereby avoid the diabolical
error and blunder of presenting out of
4 bills 3 that were unconstitutional.
A preacher of the glorious Gospel,
"Do your duty." What a record! And
in the face of these facts which are es
tablished and in print on the Statutes,
he has the bull dog brass to ask to be
sent buck. And as one of our best citi
zens says: "Yes. he'll make many a
poor man believe he'll make, the rich
nan pay all the tax and the poor man
won't have to pay any, and he'll play
h?11." "
Pretty brassy to expose a man after
this manner, but Mr. Editor if is far
more brassyer for such an i.n poster to
(prey) the suffrages of the people, for
what? To be absent and unconstitu
tional. I say, beware of him.
