TEEMNIG TEESe MaM2i4i, Bm 0 S. A. NETTLES, Editor. WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER 17, 1890. Col. Irby has been elected United States senator to succeed Gen. Wade Hampton. The speeches of the nomination, and the results of the ballots will be found on the first page. 'When the result of the final ballot was declared, there was some hissing done, but in a moment this contemptible conduct was drowned by the immense cheering for Irby. The contest from the beginning was narrowed down to three can didates: Donaldson, who was put forward as the special representative of the Alliance,. with his allegiance to the Alliance first above all things; Irby. the candidate of reform element of the Democratic party, who was pledged to the farmers and their interests, but who proposed to stand by the Democratic party in maintaining its suprem acy; and Hampton, the present incumbent, who had done so much for the State and had been honored so long that it was right and proper to re-elect him. In the senatorial contest, Maj. DesChamps and Mr. Richardson voted for Donaldson, and Dr. Woods for Irby. It was a slip of the pen last week in saying that Maj. Des Champs voted for Irby. He stuck to the Alliance candidate to the last. Col. Irby is yet a young man, who has not been long prominently identified in publi affairs, but he has shown himself the past year, to be a man of fine parts and deep acumen. His masterly conduct of the Demoeratic campaign against the independ ent movement, led by some of the most gifted men of the State, showed him to be a man of great power. He will make a good senator, who will do honor to his State. Hampton owes his defeat to his friends. The people of South Carolina are not un grateful, and will ever cherish his name for the good he has done his State, but that name will not be written in as bright letters as if be had never written that letter to Irby last October. The people did not demand of Hampton that he should denounce the friend of his bosom, but they did demand that he should express his disapproval of any independent movement. When he de elared that an independent was worse than a radical, it was against men for whom he socially and politically cared naught, but this independent movement, because it was led by his social and political friends, was handled gently, aye, it was even fondled, and he declared that he would not advise any man how or for whom he should vote. Possibly this was right and honorable, and Hampton should not have been blamed for it, but South Carolinians, the great mass of them, demand that the actions of a man shall not be determined by family influence alone. If it was wrong for a man of mod orte inuence to be an independent, it was at least equally as wrong for Haskell and his followers to be independents, and Hampton should have said so. There was no demand that he should on this occasion repeat his oft-told thrust that an independ ent was worse than a radical. He could simply have said that he did not approve of the Haskell movement, and that he thought it was injurious to the cause of Democrucy, and then advised the people of the State to vote the regular Democratic ticket. That would have been the same Hampton the people have known and loved and followed so long. We believe in the adage, 'Spoils to the victor, and think that if Hampton had been elected it would have been the heaviest pos asble blow to the party. To be a Democrat, one must abide the decision of the rarty and vote for the nominees. The man who _in this last campaigr-, when the apparent danger was so great, refused to vote, cannot be considered a full Democrat, and from the highest to the lowest offces should be left alone. He has no busines's with any of the ublic pay. Such is the unwritten law of 4teparty, and in the future it will be found v-.that the observance is better than the breach. T-~-rior to 'ep. 10th the fight was within the - party, but after that date he who opposed -'the regular ticket must stand aside. SIn this connection -we reproduce the fol Slowing from the Georgetown limes, which in the main coincides with our views: "While in Columbia last week, Governor Sllzman told several gentlemen, in our -presence, that it was useless for any man to come to him for offce as an alleged Tillman supporter; that he would appoint an Anti Tihen man to a position just asqucy :.as hewould one of his avowed friends; Ast ahe recognized the right of every citizen to vote for the man of his choice, and he asbould suffer no detriment at his hands. DM (and this is the rub with some people) if a candidate voted the independent Has k ell ticket at the last election, it was useless Rd o ask offce at his hands, for he would ap-| ~ pita coal-black negro every time, if he ,6 new it, in preference to the independent." Some people are hard to learn. They seem to think that in them is centered all that is ?right and just and proper, und who difetrs is denionneed as a nincompoop. That policy hu- a summer yielded a very small dividend. Ssupporters of Hampton are flew pur ungthe sa:ne course, and it is to any per son 'of delicate sensibilities exceedingly nanuating. Hampton was defeatedhoecause h e favored independentism. Of thiat there is no doubt. Bow where is the good sense in hurling anathemas upon those who voted against him. It does no good, has done none, nda can do none. On the other hand, rt has done much harm. The people care mothing whatever for this uncalled for and -indelicate abuse. --The Haskellians last campaign swore that Tillman should never be governor. What efiect had it ? They have already be gu rparations for the next campaign, bet er secret and early preparation have no terrors for the old-time regulars. The people-will go on quietly in pursuit of their I vocations till '92, and then as this year will show whether the bosses or the people are masters of the situation. The nominee for gorernor on the regular Democratic ticket in 1892 will be elected the same as hereto- i fore. It seems to us that our Legislature is 4 practically doing nothing. Business is I choked with local legislation. This should I not be. - 7t will beoa poor start in reform to< have a isession of the legislature two or three mouths long. We have Ihere o -made no suggestions or commiee- ut it is time to speak, and to 1 d that our leg. islators ~ squandering the people's ey so fool~ishly. The legislature costs more than athousand dollars each day it is ~-in session, or about two hundred dollars anu -bour, and mattersthat can be attended to elsewhere should' not be allowed to be bro. ht before the Legislatare. 'The peo pl iad reform and retrenchment, and - ta legislature is far from giving it to us. Last week Attorney General Pope dis missed one T. B. Butler from a clerkship in the engrossing department, because he voted for Haskell. Butler, influenced by a clerk in Joseph Barnwell's office, indicted Attor ney General Pope for violation of the law in dismissing him. The trial came offyes terday, and no case was made out. Little ! Contemptible ! But then Barnwell is the man who ravingly swore that Tillmnan should never be governor. There is a movement on foot to form a new county from portions of Orangeburg and Lexington counties, and to make the town of St. Matthews the county seat. The new county is to be called Calhoun. The supply bill was introduced in the. legislature yesterday, giving Clarendon for ordinary county purposes_ 3)3 mills. For Auditor, treasurer's commissions, clerk of court, jury commissioner, and board of equnaaion $1,500; trial justices an d their constables $1,100;sheriffS1,000; county coin niissioners and clerk $850; poor house $300; books, stationery, and printing $200; con *ingent expenses $175; attorneys' fees $125; xepairs of public buildings $200; bridges 2800 jurors, witnesses, and constables *$1,200. This is one mill less than last year and will be a saving to the county of $2,300. A fine assortment of men's, youths', and boys' clothing at Levi's. Froni the Charleston World.] Senator J. L. X. Irby. Col. John Laurens Manning Irby was born in Laurens county at Laurens C. H., in the year 1855. His hither was Col. James H. Irby, who was a distinguished lawyer and politician, as well as a large and sue cessful planter. His mother was a grand daughter of Dr. Earle, ,f Greenville coun tv. There are few men in South Carolina who can boast of a faimily ancestry more honored than Col. Irby. His giandfatier was an tflcer in the American revolution, and was among the noble band of patriots who were massacred at Have.'s station. Col. Irby received the rudiments of his education at Laurens C. I., and afterwards attended the Virginia University and Prince ton College. He studied law under A';soci ate Justice McIver at Cheraw, practiced his profession for a wihile at Laurenas, C. II., and abandoned it to engage in the pursuit of agriculture, in which occupation he has proved a grand success, as he is one of the most progressive and prosperous farmers in his county. He lives on his model planta tion, which is governed and controlled un der his own personal supervision. He has been a member of the State Leg islature since 188G, at which tiinei he en tered actively into polities to the extent of arous ing the people from their lethargy to united action for the restoration of the State he loved so well. Col. Irby is a fearless advo cate and an uncompromising champion of the people's rights, quick of perception, and in action prompt and decisive. He pos sesses broad and liberal views, and is strong in his convictions of what is right, and has the manly courage to contend for them. He despises the cringing cowardice and the dictates of political bosses. His manly courage, independent and unswerving ae votion to the best interests of the people have won their esteem and admiration, and placed him in the front ranks among the reform leaders of the State. If it were necessary to say more concein ing him, it could be couched in a word; he is the prototype of true manhood. During the recent political campaign Col. Irby took a foremost part in the Reform movement. His great political sagacity readily suggested him as a leader, and he was not only made chairman of the Reform executive committee, but as soon as the Democratic convention endorsed the princi ples of the Reform element of the party Irby was made chairman of the State Democratic executive committee. The great political acumen shown by him during this campaign stamped him as a leader of the first order, and thereafter his political star began to rapidly rise. When the legislature met Col. Irby, al most with one accord, was elected speaker, and his friends and political foes alike bear testimony to the fact that no speaker before him has ever conducted the business of the house with more fairness and more expedi tion. It was only after his election as speaker that he became prominent by being men tioned in connection with the United States senatorship. Being a young, energetic, and working member of tne reform movement, Col. Irby's candidacy early met with enthu siastic approval on the part of the legisla ture. Other gentlemen, representing the same ideas as advocated by Col. Iroy, di vided the vote with him on several ballots, but there had hardly been a doubt, from the beginning of the contest, that Col. Irby would be our next United States senator, as the vote of the two houses finally de cided. HAVE YOU MONEY? Then the Levi Brothers idt to See You at Their Store in Sumter.

A nail may be driven in hard wood much easier if the point is just dipped in lard. Wash copper utensils in sour milk and save scouting. It is well to paint the kitchen walls, as then they may be readily washed off. Old table-cloths and napkins make the best kind of glass towels. Cucumbers cut into strips and placed where ants congregate will cause them to disperse. To brighten a carpet put one pound of tobacco dust into a pailful of boil ing water; allow it to become partly cooled, and then apply to the carpet with a soft brush. Hem table-cloths and napkins by hand, as when hemmed by the ma chine a dirty streak under the edge of the hem is the result after being washed; and haud sewing is also much more satisfactory so far as ap pearance goes. Fine-tooth conibs need frequent washings, and the white ones discolor quite soon, so that for general use the black ones are better. To make lemon sugar take one ounce of citric acid, two pounds of white sugar, one quarter of an ounce of lemon essence. Put one table spoonful in a glassful of cold water, and you have a glass of lemonade. To destroy cockroaches: One ounce of sugar of lead, two ounces of pow dered borax, three ounces of wheat flour; mix well and place where they are apt to come. Remove grease from silk by put ting magnesia over the spot on the wrong side. To clean willow furniture use boil ing water and ammonia; apply with a brush broom. Never use soap as it will make them look yellow. Use cheese cloth for dusting cloths. To take mildew out of white goods soap the spots well and cover them with powdered chalk while wet. Everything Else Failed. I am now 28 years old, and from the time I was seven years of age un til 1885, I suffered with a severe case of scrofula. During this time I took every known remedy, but to no pur pose. My father took me to North Carolina, where I was put under the treatment of an eminent physician. The niedicines given wue had only a temporary effect, for shortly after my return the serofula broke out in a umore maligna-nt form, and I was worse off than ever before. In 1885 I dis continued taking all ot her medicines, and commenced taing Swift's Spe cific (S. S. S.) I took a num&-Pr of 1itles and it cured me.
