TEMANNING TMESS LOUIS APPELT, Editor. Wednesday, Februaryv 14, 1194. The federal election laws have at last been repealed. The Wilson tariff bill will have a 7d time getting through the Sen Hon. John-R. Jeffries, of Union, a e3mber of the Legislature, and one the trustees of Clemson College, .ied last Saturd'y. The State has received enough ! )mev fron tM issuing of commis 5 public to pay the . 3 >rthrop, a Confeder general, died last ..~ra: Confederate soldier's ?.,me at ikesville, near Baltimore. When the Alliance representatives sid -last fall that the repeal of the '-herman silver purchasing clause was conspiracy to force the government > issue bonds, they were denounced y the friends of the administration "s alarmists and ]iars. Secretary carlisle has issued bonds all the -ame, and is now engaged in making excuses for his act. Dr. J. W. Stokes has been put for waid as the Reform candidate for Congressman Brawley's unexpired term. Charleston defeated him be fore, and if, his friends do not wake up the same tactics will be used. Don't let the Charleston managers wait to announce the vote until they hear from the counatry preeincts. See that the vote is announced at the proper time, and watch the polls during the voting. There is considerable talk in some quarters about running Governor I'Illman for a third term, but it is talk and nothing else. The Re formers have plenty of first-class gubernatorial timber, and at the proper time a suitable standard .bearer will be put forward. Gov ernor Tillman will not be candidate for Governor in the coming primary but the people will see and hear him on the stump as a candidate to s uc ceed Senator Butler. Was Gaillard a Republican I The News and Courier last week editorially says that Theodore S. Gaillard, chief of the State's constab ulary force, was a Republican, and claims to quote from a letter on file in Washington, in which it is alleged that Gaillard wrote to President Har rison, asking for the appointment of post master at Charleston, upon the ground that he supported Harrison, and that he was a "Republican-Inde pendent." "If what the News and Courier says is true, we hope the Governor ~will put a- true Democrat in the position of chief constable, but that paper gets off so many things that turn out myths, we doubt the truth of this. .The editor of this paper has known Theodore Gaillard for over twenty years, and - the firsi intimation of his being anything else than a true blue Democrat comes now. Before 1876 when the News an& Courier was intimately associated with "my dear Josephus," Theodore Gaillard was living in Florence, and was an active worker for the then despondent Democracy. In 1876 when the News and Courier was ad vocating the re-election of Chamber lain, Theodore Gaillard was one of the organizers of the Florence Rifles, and did valient service in that town for the cause of Democracy. At the time we speak of we were a strippling of a boy, but the patriotic zeal which prompted nearly everyv white man, prompted us,-i.boy, to follow Theo dre Gallard, Ned Pettigrew and .Xea ad Curir'&a~ pion and Wihittemore, and wrest frw'm. their grasp the ballot box. If the politicai *history of Darlington county is truly written the name of Theodore S. Gaillard will conspicuously appear upon its pages. We realize the fact that men often change with time and it is possible that Mr. Gaillard, in seeking the President's favor, wrote him that he supported him in the ele~tion. If he did .so we are sur prised, but it will s;ke more con vincing proof than the statement of "my dear Josephus's" favorite sheet to convince us. Our Political Thoughts. The political skirmishing is going on with~considerable earnestness, and the schemes' of the politicians are many'. Th~ose that are allied, with the opposition to the present admin istration are keeping up a constant faultfinding. They never seem to tire of their useless efforts'to create a division in the ranks of the Reform faction. It is seldom one- is found that will be frank enough to give a true reason for his finding fault with any and everything done by those in control of the- State government, but in conversation with ,a Coniservative from another county a few days ago we put the question to him, and he frankly told us, "It is good politics to denounce whatever your opponents We admire frankness, and we found it in the gentleman referred to. His remark we believe to be the key note of the opponents to the Reform Movement, and we believe there is a tacit understanding among them to assail every act of the administration in order to bring about a state of dis content among the people. To suceed in this they must presilme the massesf are ignorant, and do not keep posted on what is going on, but they never made a greater mistake.I The masses have undergone several years of political education and are reading more now than ever before. Seldom, indeed, do we~ find a man but what is well posted, and in many instances we find men whose occupa tion necessarily prevents themi from attending public gatherings to hear political subjects discussed, who stay at home and are more familiar with, and have a better understanding of public matters than many of the pub lic men. The ridiculing and denouncing of erything done by your opponents1 might have worked with success a few years ago, but such tactics won't do now. Instead of having ihe effect intended, it causes the people to look with more and more suspicion upon those engaged in it. Then why not render unto Cmsar the things that are Cesar's? If the administration per forms an act which does not meet with approval, it is right and proper to say so, but when an act is per formed which is approved, it is the height of folly to disapprove it, be cause the act eminates from your political opponents. This is a campaign year, and nat urally politics will be discussed more than any other one subject. Let us all discuss our political views in a calm, sensible manner, and by all means do not let us inject into these discussions harsh, grating words, which do not add to argument, but on the contrary has the effect of weakening the force of what is said, and brings about estrangement and strife. Above all things do not let us allow our political differences to mar our personal friendships. If we have differences when the election day comes let us deposit them in the bal lot box, there to remain. We should remember that we are dependent upon each other in this life, and the success or failure of any particular candidate is not a hun dreth part as important to us, as the friendship of a. neighbor. In the hour of misfortune, it is to the neigh bor we go for comfort and relief. When sickness lays its strickening hand upon some member of our fam ilies, we cannot run after the candi date to come and cool the feverish brow of a loved one; then it is our neighbor we seek, and when death comes and claims one of ours it is the neighbors that perform the last sad rites. Therefore, it behooves us as sane men to be careful in what we say and do. Every man has a right to his opinion and has the right to express it, but no man has a right to force his opinions upon those that do not want them. In discussing polit ical subjects there is no reason to be come excited; let the excitement re main with those seeking preferment, for they are really the ones most profited. Our zeal for the men of our choice is sufficient when we lose time from our work to attend the public meetings and go out to vote on election day. The prediction has been made by some that this year will be the bitter est campaign ever before had in the State. It is, according to some, to be marked with riot and bloodshed. These predictions, we fear, is a "wish that is fath'er to the thought" of a few who delight in turmoil and strife to accomplish their purposes, but we mistake the temper of the people if they allow the wishes of such few to be gratified, and the way to prevent that state of affairs is for the people to repudiate it at the outset. If at any of the meetings to be held this year a candidate for office or any of his zealous followers at tempt anything to incite trouble, right then and there that candidate's" political grave should be dug, and the p~eople should not hesitate to'let imu know it. A full, fair, open, and decent discussion of men and meas ures is what the meetings are for, and when they are converted to other pur poses the real objects of them are defeated with the intention to hood wink and deceive. It is also wrong to allow our po litical differences to. creep into the business relations with our fellow man. We have heard of men who would not have business relations with others because they differed politically, and on the other hand we have seen social relations made be tween men on account of politics that otherwise would have been impos sible. Ppolitics and business should never mix, and social relations are entirely foreign to politics.. If a man is objectionable socially his politics cannot wipe out the objection; yet we see every day where politics makes strange bed fellowy We have also heard of men being refused accom modations-on account of their polit icl'views; in fact, a case in mind is where a party went to another and asked for the 1.oan of money upon the faith of good real estate security. The applicant for the loan was told if he would quit the Alliance the money would be forthcoming, but the party wanting the money indignantly re fused to quit the Alliance, saying, "It is sapping my life's blood to mort gage my home, but I will die before I mortgage to you my manhood." After failing to force the man to de sert his order, the money lender took him aside and offered to loan the money upon the mortgage, at ten per cent. discount and eight per cent. in terest. Thus showing there are some men who allow their political feelings *to come into their business, but at the same time they are ready and willing to enslave a fellow man to satisfy a greed for wealth. If a man, is not good enough to associate with ordinarily, h.a is not good enough for the sake of politics. If you can have business relations with a man ordinarily, his politics should not interfere with that rela tion, and if you have money to loan do not rob him because his politics diers from yours. If you want to buy anything go where business is done on business principles and not; where politics is an important factor, and if you owe a debt pay it without questioning the political views of your creditor. Politics should not effect the price of an article in a store, nor should politics effect the financial integrity of a buyer. Politica should not increase a debt, nor should poli tis take one cent from the liability of a dtbtor. There are now two dis iuet factions in the Democratic party in this State, and every Democrat has a right to belong to one or the other. It is the right of every voter to select the candidates of his choice, and when he makes that selection he is a weak man, indeed, that will allow himself to be driven or led away from his choice. Whenever the Times has determined upon the choice of a candidate we will not hesitate in let ting the people know. The hardest fight looked for in the coming campaign will be the contest between B. R. Tillman and Md. C. Butler for Senatorial honors. All of the ingenuity, shrewdness, and foxey manipulations of a certain element of the Conservative faction will be brought into play in this contest to brngabount the downfall of th Farmers' Movement, and unless the masses watch every movement on the political chess board the opposition will take advantage of their lethargy. It, therefore behooves every man tiat is allied with the Reform faction 'to see to it that none but -the true and loyal are put on guard, and Ias we re gard Governor B. R. Tillman the champion of the Reform Movement, and one in whom the people have implicit confidence we unhesitatingly say that he is our choice for United States Senator. That in coming pri mary we will not cast a vote for a legislative candidate who does not publicly pledge himself, if elected, to cast his vote "first, and all the time" for B. R. Tillman for the United States Senate, and we are satisfied the people will make this demand of the candidate in order that there may be no mistaking the positions of the candidates asking for their suf frages.

Miss Dora Weeks, who came here several weeks ago from Manassas, Ga., was mar ried last Sunday to Mr. W. E. Rodgers. of the same place. The ceremony took place at the residence of Mr. C. A. Reynolds, Rev. E. D. Wells officiating. The couple left Mon day for Manassas, Ga., their future home. Mr. L. F. R. Lesesne has gone to Florida to engage in business. The Sunday school at the Baptist church has been reorganized with Mr. B. P. Broadway as superintendent. A methodist church has been organized here and an effort is being made to build a house in which to hold service. The com mittee has about three hundred dollars in cash and subscriptions. Now, friends, we have done our duty along this line, but more money is needed to 'complete and equip the house. A Methodist Sunday school was organ ized la'st Sunday. G. M. Davis was elected superintendent, and over sixty scholars were enrolled. The Packsville academy is moving on finely with an enrollment of 55 pupils. This is a private school, and is destined to be the finest and largest school in Claren don county. Despite the cry of hard times our town is growing. Mr. G. H. Curtis has let out the contract for his store building. Mr. D. 31. Bradham is putting up a house near the Baptist parsonage. He will build three more. An effort is being made to have a wagon and carriage shop erected here. Timber is cheap and plentiful, and good workmen can be had cheap. Capt. A. J. Richbourg was up in these parts a few days since visiting friends and relatives. Nomen was at Silver last Saturday to see the Conner Mounted Rifles drill. The drilling was well and systematically done. This company at the last inspection re ceived the'oraise of the inspector general. Capt. Richbourg is a veteran of the Con federate army and understands how to manage a company. From every side we hear expressions of appreciation of the Times. One gentleman remarked that, "Editor Appelt is giving us the best paper ever published in South Carolina." We, here, all feel proud of the Times and the able way in which it is edited. Mr. W. W. Huggins, of Sumter, was in our town last week putting down pumps.. Mrs. F. S. Geddames and Mrs. ,Julia Cor bett have been suffering from g severe at tack of grip the past week.

A few days ago Monday Ragin, a gentle man of color, was up before Trial Justice Richbourg charged with the "old reliable" larceny of hogs. Ragin appropriated to himself a fine sow and five pigs, the prop erty of Mace Mason, and while he was on trial he could see the penitentiary, and the gates opening for him, and being a root doctor consulted his oracles, and at once commenced his flight for the swamp of Taw Caw. Having gained the start of fifty yards of the court when His Honor entered the chase with his Eon, Mr. Frank Richbourg. Ragin soon ran across the creek and enter ed the cane beds of that swamp and began dodging until Mr. Frank Richbourg inter cepted his passage to the next cane bed, and soon was in a hand to hand struggle with the negro, who is noted for size and strength. Richbourg held his man until the justice arrived on the scene and pre sented Ragin with a set of hand cuffs, and returned him for further instructions, dur which time Ragin's courage failed and he began to beg and weep, but Ragin is now drawing rations in the county jail.
