W? - j Attorney General Peeples has with-!. drawn from the race for governor and entered the race for senator for the unexpired term of Senator Tillman. ( This makes the race for governor even more decidedly between Cooper J and Richards, as we see it. Sneator Christie Benet < who was ap-' pointed hv the governor will also' enter the race for the full unexpired 1 term and he will have some oppor- j tunity to display his power of pre- j senting the issue to the people. They will make the same itinerary ! ns the candidates for the full term i for the senate. There is talk of other candidates entering the race for the unexpired s term and there may be several ( The State executive committee mei; cn Tuesday and they went up the hill ' and down the hill. They introduced resolutions and then laid them on the table and the result of the whole business is an address to the people to stand by the party. There is no ' dansrer of a bolt from the folks that i the committee seems to think will j bolt. If there be a holt it will likely; come from some other source. Some people seem to be very much * worried about the possibility of the : election of Blease to tne senate. It; reminds us very much of the way these same fellows, or many of them., j talked about the election of Tillman and of John Gary Evans, this same Evans who is now talking so loud about Blease. They were iboth elected and the world continued to revolve, and we suspect the same thing will happen when Blease is elected to the ' senate. j COXSERYISG SUGAR. - ? We heard a o-entleman say the other day that he was 75 years old and had been trading in dewberry all his' life, and it was the first time he had tried and failed to be able to buy any i sugar. We made inquiry Ihter in ; the day and found that sugar could "be bought at some of the stores though it was scarce. The thing to do is to conserve sugar. We heard Dr. C. D. Weeks say the other day that he was using4 molasses to sweeten his ice tea. He is as good citizen as Newberry has and^a true. patriot, and many of us could follow his example, or cut out, the tea altogether. That is the way j we work it. But Dr. Weeks says , that the molasses as sweentening for' his tea took him back to the good old days on the farm down in Clarendon ; county when he was never happier I than when drinking sweetened water; from the molasses jug and resting un-! der the spreading oaks away out in the fields. And in those days - he , thought there was no drink equal to ! uje waier sweemnea wain moiasses.; That is the way to look at it, and then we should he thankful that it is sugar' that is scarce instead of salt, for we can do without sugar better than w?; can do without salt. And some of the old^r peoole could tefl interesting j stories of the scarcity of not only sugar and S3lt some years ago. but [ when there was no coffee and they' substituted barley and rye and wheat j fnd dug up the dirt in the smoke houses and dripoed it like they used i to make lye in order to get a little j salt. We do. nor yet know the first L mssuu m uuiiis wnnoui luxuries much less necessities, tvat if this war 'ontinues we will find out. and the, hest thins* is to commence to conserve now so that it will not he so.

"Who cares what John ( L. McLaurin says?" he continued. , "Nobody will believe him on his oath." , T"he charges coming against Blease from McLaurin. '^d. made him , doubt their authenticity.

At t^-is om'nt n motion by A. Padgett of Edgefield, to issue the address of ex-Governor John Gary Evans to the people of the State as , a warning, was carried- and the meeting was adjourned. j Ex-Governor John Gary Evans' ad- \ dress follows: : "To the Democraev of South CaroI lina: j , A crisis confronts the Democratic ^partv in this State heretofore unpar-!

At the last general election an independent movement yras organized again ?t the -nominees of vonr nartv, over 1.200 votes being polled at the said election airainst, them. These electors cannot participate in the coming primary eleetron unless deliberately perjuring themselves. * j "A defeated candidate for tho United States Senate and a prominent candidate for the same office in the aDproaching primary election openly j by word of month, through the oublic ; press of the State and privately ad- j vised his followers that they were not hound to su-nport the nominees of tin party in the general election. The in-; stigator of the crime under the writ- j ten and moral law is as guilty as j the real criminal and his punishment should be as great. "A former office holder in the pasty j and now a candidate for the highest! office in the gift of the people, in the public press over his own sig- j nature, on the <rtumr>, has onenly.j charged a candidate for the United Qfo.fes Senate with conspiracy to or-: p'anize an ?ndennndrtnf movement for wivnoep of betraving. defeating and destroying tlie Democratic party in this State, and to that end funds , tr> the amount of ?45,000 ware solicit-j pd from a former member of the na- 1 tional Republican committee from this State with which to accomplish i the criminal purpose and to corrupt the electorate in this State. The sad experience only of this white Re-; ' ?" j? TviDiiraTi wun wmer enures 111 uirs line alone -saved the State from these conspirators. This candidate for the, Senate admits over his own signature that the proposition W9<? mad*1 and considered, hut denies that he was a party to a conference with the Republican committeemen or Ithat he agreed to be a party to the consp?ra"*v. The former private secretary of the former Governor of this State, now a candidate for the United States Senate, over his own signature in the pvblic press verifies the essential fa<~+=. ailesres the conspiracy, hut claims that hp declined to be a party to it.
