These are some of the terms in common use by the Antis, but we confess our ina bility to comprehend their meaning. It is certainly not "dying game," when at the very first defeat in the cam paign, as was the case at the county convention last Saturday, they quietly and submissively retreat from the field. Such is assuredly a great back 'down from 'fighting to the last ditch.' But as we said above we cannot com prehend the language of our friends, the Antis. They claim to be "Straight outs," and yet they are the only ones who now or have ever talked of a split in the party. We can explain it enly by believing that "Straightout" with them now means, "continue us uninterruptedly in office, or 'by the eternal' we shall march straightout of the Democratic conventions and out of the Democratic party; rather than suffer defeat in our personal and fac tion issues, we prefer to see the party disrupted, and will by our talk espec ially bend our every effort to further the destruction of the old Gary idea of straightout Democracy." If the above definition of Anti Straighoutism is not correct, then we are at a total loss to know what is meant. No, No; according to our idea of the terms in the first sentence of this artic'e,if our Anti friends claim to be straightout, to fight to the last ditch, and to die game, they should fight within the party, and even, as last Saturday, when defeat lowers on their banhers, they should stand by their guns till the last round was fired and the last hope of success had fled. They should never so early retire from the field. ERis a principle of the Democratic party that the majority must rule. It -is not the first time in our history that the line has been tightly drawn and one faction has been defeated. There must be no split. Had the Tillman men gone down, they would have risen with the cry, "Hurrah for Democracy! The white man must and shall rule !" THE COUNTY CONTENION. After carefully and calmly reviewing the proceedings of the county conven tion last Saturday, we are confirmed in the opinion that its actions were conservative and free from mistakes. We much regret the course pursued by the minority, for we cannot believe it was proper. The majority honestly believed they were right in protesting clubs that they felt morally ceitain were too largely represented, and in throwing out Calhoun Precinct and in reducing Clarendon, Deep Creek, and New Zion, they but did what they believed was right, and what probably 'was right. But the minority in withdrawing --showed a sprt 'p~a~ objectiona Zle justaths4 T'~~he action of ~ii~Ol~etiitin throwing out these ~dlgtscertainly cannot be attribu tany desire to gain an advan tage, for without such action the con ..vention would still have had a major ity of more than two to one, and thor oughly organized. Such being the facta in the case, and with the high mnoral tone of the gontlemen compos ning the committee on credentials, we $are fbreed to the natural conclusion ttat the action of the convention in adlopting the report of the majority -was right and proper. SThe convention was throughout eheaterized with conservatism. It trnatdsuch business only as it s called for, and the two important things the Antis did not want done, the convention left undone: electing Rdlgtsto the September conven tion and nominating county officers. (There was no attempt or desire on the Spart of the convention to do anything ildhawould give offense to any one, ilenu in the resolutions they were as ni~endTempertats it w'as possible to expect. SWe are proud of Clarendon. Om -people have in their every action dur jing the campaign been as conserva tive, as gentlemanly, and as true Dem oerats as our heart could desire. A -caucus was held last Saturda3 morning by both factions, and th4 presumption is each mapped out Splan of action. Th~e Antis must have determined on withdrawing from th< Sconvention, for when one started al the others followed in regular order The only remarkable thing abou' the convention last Saturday was the withdrawing of about one-third th< members, because two-thirds of the convention decided that the Calhour Precinct club had been illegally or ganized and therefore was - not enti tied to-representation in the conven tion. Xt lies with the Calhoun club and is their duty, if they believe thei1 lub was legally organized, to shov~ the facts to the public. The Tm offers themi all the space they may de sire to fly ventilate the matter. .Last night the Democratic Stat4 execntive committee met in Columbia and a resolution was introduced t< the effect that the call for the Septem ber convention be rescinded, so tha nominations might be made by thiu convention, but the resolution wai not acted upon as a majority of th< ommittee was not present, and i was deemed advisable that a majorita of the committee should be present t< act on the resolution. W. H. Braw ly, of Charleston, and Chairmax Hoyt are said to be in favor of the resolution for the good of the party Mr. James E Tindal by requesi delivered a speech last week at ar Aince picnic in York county, al which there was present about tw< thuand persons. Mr. Tindal madE one of the finest efforts of his life juging from the complimentary re marks made by the York papers aboul it: He spoke for nearly two hours, and the people there were completely cap. vfated 'able effort. The York. v~e nquirer published a full synop. is of it, and were it not for the crowded state of our columns we wuld publish it this week. Mr. Tin. dl1has of late been making speeches in several parts of the State, and his ability as a fine and logical speaker is always noted.

S. A. Nettles was nomii nated and unanimously elected. Mr. Net- d ties on taking the chair, after thanking the 0 convention for the honor done him, an-;t nounced that all present were Democrats, c and counseled harmony and good feeling. ii Louis Appelt was then nominated for secre a tary and J. Elbert Davis for assistant secre- t: tary. Both were elected without oppo- d sition. a As soon as the temporary organization c was completed Dr. I. M. Woods made a mo- c: tion that a committee on credentials be ap- fi pointed consisting of one delegate from d each -uncontested club, which was adopted. S On motion of E. G. DuBose it was decid- 0 ed that the president of each uncontested club select the member from his club to serve on this committee. The following 1 was announced as the committee on cre- c dentials:P Cross Roads-G I Lesesne.e Doctor Swamp-J H Timmons. c Douglas-A J Castine. d Foreston-S &1 Hlaynsworth.

Summerton-L T Fischer. e The following clubs were contested: Al colu, Calhoun Precinct, Clarendon, Deep i Creek, Sandy Grove, New Zion, and Trin-|z ity. The first five are Anti clubs; the last two Tillman clubs. On motion of Dr. Woods it was decided that the convention take a recess until theC committee on credentials was ready to re port. After a recess of about three and a half hours the convention was reconvened to hear the report of the committee-. Capt. D. J. Bradham, chairman of the committee, presented the majority report,. which in substance 'was as follows: That I te tnti~~Precinct elub being a new club 2 ad not having biit''48bann -naoe members I on its roll, a less number than is required * by the constitution, is not entitled to repre-, sentation in this convention; that the Clar endoni club be reduced from four delegates t three; that the Deep Creek club be re-I duced from three delegates to two; that the New Zion club be reduced from four to three; and that the Abcoln, Trinity, and Sandy Grove clubs are entitled to the num ber of delegates reported to the convention. Joseph F. Rhame, Esq., prcsented an . oral minority report, objecting to the throw-t ing out of the Calhoun Precinct club and to reducing the delegation from the Clarendon club. When Mr. .Rhame concluded his argu ment in favor of the minority report, Col. H. L. Benbow in behalf of the Calhoun precinct club made an'able and eloquent argument against the majority report. Immediately after Col. Benbow finished his argument in favor of seating his dele gation, M1. C. Galluchat, Esq., moved that the delegates from Calhoun Precinct and Clarendon clubs be seated. He said that while he favored the report of the majority, yet he made this motion in the interest of peace and harmony, and as the Tillmanites would not be affected by the seating of ( these delegates he hoped his motion would prevail. When Mr. Galluchat finished Col. Benbow said that he appreciated the mo tive that prompted Mr. Galluchat's motion, but that the delegates from his club did noti come to the convention on trembling knees nor to ask for anything at the hands of this convention, but that his club roll was a true and correct one, composed of true and triedi Democrats. He would not accept a seat on thin floor unless he was legally entitled to it. IJ. F. Rhamie, Esq., J. S. Wilson, Esq., and! I. C. Ingram also made speeches in behalft of these clubs. On motion it was decided by a large ma jority to table Mr. Galluchat's motion. :1 Capt. Bradham moved that the yeas and t nays be taken on the adoption of the major ity report. Maj..C. S. Land offered as ain amendment that the contested clubs be al lowed to cast the number of votes allowed them by the majority report, and that the chairman of each delegation announce the, vote of his delegation. Capt. Bradham ate cepted the amendment. The yeas and nays. were then taken, and the majority report was adopted by a vote of ?1 to 24.( At the announcement of this vote Joseph F. Rhame, Esq., stated that he offered his protest against the action of the convention, mld submit though he considered that an justice had been done the minority. He en withdrew from the convention follow-! by the entire Anti delegation. During this debate there had been some tle feeling, and each speaker had been stily cheered, but although the hall was erally full all were in a good humor and der was kept. When, however, as if Iy econcerted arrangement, the Antis began' file out of the convention, the hall rang ith loud and continued cheers for Tillman. rter this there was no opposition, and the mainder of the session was characterized ith harm6nious unanimity. - The chairman announced that the next isiness was to make the temporary organ ation permanent. S. A. Nettles was elect I president; A. W. Thames, Sr. and L. H. esChamps, vice-presidents; Louis Appelt id J. Elbert Davis, secretaries. On motion of J. R. Dingle, Mr. S. A. Net es was unanimously elected County Chair an for the ensuing two years. The convention then confirmed the elec on of the following county executive coi ittee: Cross Roads-D. It. Chewning. Doctor Swamp- J. W. Cole. Douglas--W. J. Turbeville. Yoreston Reform--J. M. Strange. Jordan-C. M. Davis. Manning Farmers' Platform -D. J. Brad am. .Llidway-S. W. McIntosh. New Town-F. N. Thomas.

As all the Antis had withdrawn the com tittee of course had no Anti representation at on motion the executive committee was athorized to receive as members of that )mmittee the duly elected member from ay regularly organized club. The chairman announced that the next siness was the election of delegates to the tate convention, whereupon Louis Appelt I Erered the following resolutions: WNEREs, We, the Democrats of the >unty of Clarendon, in convention assem led, who have stood by the Democracy irough defeat and success, and who glory i the name and fame of the Democratic arty, and who, when the State was under Ding one of the most distressing ordeals rer known to American people, risked our ves and all that we hold dear in the service r Democracy, now realizing the fact that iere is a difference of opinion among us as e iocrats; and whereas, we do not desire > appear unjust or unfair to our brother emocrats who honestly differ from us pon certain men and measures; and 'hereas, our county executive committee id notstate specifically in their call for the ynvention, in which we are now assembled, iat delegates should be elected to the Sep ,mber convention; and whereas, under the dl of said committee the legality of elect ig delegates to the September cor vention, Light be a debatable question, and as true ad loval Democrats and firm believers in ie doctrine of white man's supremacy, we eem it best for the harmonious continu ace of the party, to only adopt. such meas-I res as will admit of no doubt as being in >nformity to the constitution of the Demo Iacic party of Soutn Carolina; there re be it Resolved, That this convention do imme iately proceed to elect delegates to the tate convention which meets in Columbia n August 13, 1890. 2. That it is the sense of this convention iat a primary election for delegates to the tate convention this year is impracticable, ad our delegates are hereby instructed to tst their votes in favor of the convention lan for nominating State officers. 3. That in order that the voters of Clar adon county may have a fair and proper pportunity of enjoying their political free. om of deciding who they prefer to hold the aspective county offices that are to be voted >r at the coming election, we defer making nv nominations to-day, and request our >unty executive committee to call a conven on to meet in Manning at the court house n August 29, 1890, for the expressed pur ose of electing delegates to the State con ention to be held on Sept. 10 next in the ty of Columbia; and also for the purpose F nominating county officers. 4. Trhat we are in hearty sympathy with te farmers' movement, and endorse the latform as adopted by the March couven on, together with that gallant and heroic. sponent, Capt. B. Rt. Tillman, as our choice >r governor of South Carolina. 5. That this convention takes pleasure i endorsing and commending to the citi ens of South Carolina Clarendon's patriotic, oble, and chivalrous son, Jas. E. T1indalI >r the office of secretary of State. t;. That we reiterate and re-affirm our yalty to the Democratic party, and pledge urselves to support the nominees of the )emocratic party, whether they lbe our hoice or not. These resolutions were received with vo iferous cheering, and were- unanimously dopted by a standing vote. The following delegates were then elected o attend the August State convention: D. JT. Bradhami, Dr. I. M. Woods, S. A. settes, E. A. Tindal. A. W. Thames, Sr., nd W. T. Kennedy. Alternates: WV. . 2rbeville, E. P. Briggs, W. T. Sprott, C. L. imanuel, J. H. Timmions, and J.

I was treated by the very best physi eians of Louisville, Ky., and Evans ville, Ind., but they failed to benefit me in any way. A few bottles of Swift's Specific (S. S. S.) cured me sound and well. This was over four years ago, and there has been no return of the disease since, or any symptoms of it.

And it caine to pass in the fourteenth year after '76, that Ben. the son of his fath er, and an honest farmer of the land of Edgefield, was sought out from among men and elected Governor over the tribes of the land of South Carolina. Forty and two years old was he when nominated; and he had a hard road to travel before he reached the goal, but after many days of toil, (for he was a hewer of stone and a drawer of water) and after having been scorned, rebuked, denounced, and in sulted by the wicked sons of King Ring Rule, he got there all the same, and did reign even in Columbia. And he did that which was right in the sight of the Lord according to all that the people demanded. He removed the high places and brake the Ring that had been oppressing the poor; and he did also break in pieces, the constitution and the laws of the land, which had been sanctioned and not vetoed by the wicked tyrants, ChamUerlain, Scott, and Moses of old, and he did cut down expenses from Dan to Bersheba. And the Lord was with him, and he pros pered whithersoever he went forth, and he rebelled against the Ring and served thea not. He smote the evil-doers. even unto the sea-coast, and the borders thereof, even from Sumter county to the "battlements of the battery in Charleston." And they would fain have bull-dozed him within the walls of the opera house, but verily he entered not into pandemonium, remembering the commandments of the Lord: "My son, if sinners entice thee, con sent thou not." And the Governor did carry away sonic of the Ringsters into captivity, and did put them in prison, even in Columbia by the river Congaree, because they did wickedly in the sight of the Lord, and against tax payers of the land of Carolina.

"Let your home," wisely wrote Mrs. Beecher, "stand first before all other things. No matter how high your ambition may transcend its diies. no matter how far your talents or your influence nmy -etach bveyoid its doors, before everything else buill up a true honie. Be not its slave; be its minis ter! Let it not be enough that it is swept and garnished, that its silver is brilliant, that its food is delicious, but feed the love in it, feed the truth in it, feed thought and aspiration, feed all charity and gentleness in it. Then from its walls shall come forth the true woman and true man, who shall together rule and bless the land." Is this an overwrought picture? We think not. What honor car be great er than to found such a home? What dignity higher than to reign its undis puted, honored mistress? What is the ability to speak from a public platfori to large, intelligent audi ences, or wisdoin that nav command a seat on the judge's bench, compared to that which can insure and preside over a true home, that husband and children "rise and call her blessed ?" To be the guiding-star, the ruling spirit, in such a position is higher honor than to rule an empire. APE PiE-Stew well-grown green apples, mash. and strain. To every pint of apples add half a tea-cupful of sugar, a tea-spoonful of butter and the beaten whites of two eggs; flavor with lemon and nutmeg; line pie-pans with puff paste, fill with the apples, bake very quickly, cover the top with meringue, and set in the oven one minute to brown slightly. A RESULT OF "THE UNExPEcTED." There was nothing in the larder but some cold dressed beefsteak ("mock duck," we called it, with humble apol ogies to the original,) and the remains of a cheese custard. Consternation reigned in the bosom of the family. The unexpected had happened once more. Visitors had arrived and had evidently "come to stay." Something had to be done, and I was chosen to do it. "Eva," cried the mother, "you are fond of 'making things out of your head,' as you call it; here is a brilliant opportunity to distinguish yourself-grasp it!" "I would rather grasp the wretched butcher who has made us conspicuous through his ab sence," was my indignant reply. However, there was no help for it, so I left the merry throng feeling that my doom was sealed. I cut up the meat and dressing with a sharp knife, and this little word ringing in my ears-"hash! hash! hash!" Now, there is something about that same word which takes away my appetite. It is so prosaic-so commonplace. It reminds one- irrepressibly of the dreadful concoctions of a third-rate boarding-house. My soul rises above it. I have been told that my ideas were larger than my purse. Be it so. There is. true nobility in high ideas, in great ideas. If it had to be hash or an experiment I would choose the last and lesser evil. Now for the ex periment wvhich was called "A ragout of mock duck with potato croquettes." I poured a little hot water into a saucepan and mixed in the cheese custard with a dash of pepper and salt. Next a couple of onions were chopped, fried a crisp brown, and put in. Some flour was sprinkled in the frying-panr to brown, then sufficient boiling water added to make a nice gravy. When this and the finely cut up (not chopped) meat had joined thre other ingredients in the saucep:in, the ragout was covered over and placedl on the back of the stove to simmer. The potatoes were boiledl earlier than usual, and nicely mashed with butter, milk, and seasoning. Taking a small but long wine-glass, I filled it with potato, turned out into a buttered pan, and proceeded in the same man ner till all the potato had changed in to little white cone-shaped peaks. these I put into the oven to browvn, then placed carefully on a large meat plate, pouring the ragout over all. The efTect was pretty, and, in thus daintily serving, I felt that the first half of the battle was won.
