Wednesday, February 28, 1894.
The Greenwood Leader a news
paper just launched upon the jour
malistic sea, is well gotten up, neatly
-printed, and we wish it much success.
Senator McLaurin, recently elected
to the United States Senate from
Mississippi, is a cousin of Congress
man John L. McLaurin, of this dis
trict. The Senator is a South Caro
linian, and was born in Marlborc
county.
I seems that South Carolina is not
the only State where petty spleen is
used against the officials in power
Last Thursday Governer Hogg o:
Texas was out bird hunting, and his
political opponents swore out a war
rant against him for violating the
game law. The Governer gracefully
.submitted to the arrest, and gave
bondto meet histrial, and he says, if
found guilty, will promptly pay the
fine.
Sheriff James P. Hunter, of Lan
caster, has been appointed United
Pates Marshal for the District o
-ath Carolina. Sheriff Hunter is a
"-ry popular man in his county, and
the last election, although a Con
, vative and Lancaster, a Reform
qronghold, Hunter was elected sher
if This winds up all the big federal
':,ams for this State, and Mr. Cleve
Land -has favored the Conservatives
wi&rall of them.
According to State Commissione:
Traxler's report, the profits of the
State.dispensary for the quarter end
ing February 1st, amounts to $67,139
This is a fine showing, considering
t6e efforts of the opposition to defea
ihe successful operation of the insti
tution, and when-the town and city
records are looked into, the decrease
.?f drunkenness as shown by them
brought about by the dispensary law
he report is simply marvelous, anc
convinces us of the fact that the peo
ple will neer again want the bar
room system back.
The bitterness and strife among
our people, born of political differences
should be buried, and none will go
farther in the effbrt to restore peace
and harmony than us; but if our op
ponents strike us we do not propose
-for the sake of neace to submit with
out a protest. Sometimes we hope
'that an era of peace is about to se
in, but our h'opesare dashed agains
the walls of disappointment by a bit
ter and. spleen-ladened article in the
oitin press. Whenever th<
lines of the opposition sto]
' g their guns loaded with vituper
ation and falsehood, the Reforn
Ioxes wiU extend the righthand o
fellowship and a day of peace and re

-)einig capable of doing a worse crim
"than slapping'a woman; in fact thi
anonymous letter painted Elliott a

ibiymud-daubing sheets.
The Charleston rYnber of comn
-mece, at the suggestion 6f y. C
2eiinghiII, editor of the News an<
tirier, has called upon Congress
nan.MnLaurin to protect Charleston
interests in Congress.. After all thi
mud thrown at McLaurin by th
News and Coiurier, the editor of tha
-paper asks Charleston's principa
commnercial -organization to place
Oleeatnn's interests fin his hands
We,are glad this was done, as wi
now that none more competent o:

must have warned him beforehand o:
he would have done so from force o
habit. - -
A special to'the News and Courie
dated21st inst., says that 'our Gov
~nor was talkbd to in a rough man
ner by a man at the dinner.sta~tion a
Kershaw.' The Governor was~ tirei
and relinig .the car when this
man spede roughly to him, and, o
course,.like a sensible. man he paii
no attention to the bully. The New!
and Qourier, however, always readj
to catch, the sloppy drippings thal
may be thrown at Governor Tillmar
slurringly, headlines this special with
"Rudeness to That Good Man-A
Citizen of Kershaw Abuses Tillmat
to his-face." By its headlines it ap
proves the act of a drunken bully
and seems to take pleasure in pro.
claiming to the world that it is thE
proper thing for bullying curs tc
abuse and villify anybody connected
with the present administration. Bul
wen one of its own followers is
charged with robbing the peoplE
there is no faming headlines pro
e~laiming its disapproval. There is a
remarkable stillness. Let a State
constable do his duty and raid a dirty
whiskey den a howl goes up. Let a
drunken loafer meet Governor Till
man and show him disrespect and
that Vaper claps it hands with delight.
Let one of the former editors of the
News and Courier pilfer the school
funds, and a death-like silence follows.
It is all right to violate the law, curse
and abuse the State's chief magistrate,
ad that paper will give its readers a
full and racy account of it. Then
.when its own kith and kin are shown
obe guilty of theft and forgery that
paper becomes like the little boy the
af rnn over.
We desire to call the attention of
the proper authorities to a matter
which should receive immediate at
tention. The business portion of
Manning has recently been burnt out,
and the owners of the property are
going-to a great expense to rebuild.
We have a large court house square
fronting the principal business streets
and on it are magnificent oak trees.
It would be a decided improvement
to plant the grounds in lawn grass,
and either tear away the fence or
repair it. This can be done at a very
little cost, and we think that those
investing large sums of money in
building up iheir property are en
titled to have the public property im
proved also. Our court house square
can be made -a beautiful park, and we
hope the men placed in office by the
tax payers will have enough public
spirit to improve the public property,
especially when private citizens are
improving theirs.
The unsightly huckster stands now
on the court house square should be
removed, as there are plenty of other
places in the town where these stands
can be put without injuring the looks
of property that would be an orna
ment to the town if properly looked
after.
The St. Matthews oil mill last year
paid a dividend of 58 per cent. to its
stockholders. This is certainly a fine
showing and we do not see aur rea
son for not having such an institution
in Clarendon. A mill can be estab
lished here for about five thousand
dollars, and our farmers and mer
chants should establish one, and
thereby manufacture the cotton seed
meal at home instead of selling the
seed here to be manufactured else
where, and buy them back in the
shape of meal with several hundred
per cent. added for profit, cost and
expenses. Farmers, give this matter
serious thought, it is of great impor
tance to you, and we feel assured if
you will show a proper disposition
of establishing a cotton seed oil mill
in this county, our merchants will
lend you a helping hand. Such mills
are no longer experiments; they have
been tried and found profitable, and
at the same time a great saving to
the farmers of the community in which
they have been established. Let us
all pull together and manufacture at
home. the things we send our money
abroad for. We can do it, and who
will start the ball in motion? As a
starter, The Manning Times, to en
courage the building up of home in
dustries, will promise to take stock
and do all in its power to further the
cause. Speak out, people, who will
stock in an oil mill?
Looking to a solution of the much
discussed political problem, Tnd hav
ing offered one or two suggestions,
we present to our readers a call made
to the Reformers of Colleton, which,
we think, is the best plan
yet. offered to bring about
a settlement of the difficul
ties now confronting us. The call is
signed by twenty-one of Colleton's
staunch Reformners, and is as follows:
r"Whereas there is a discussion in
the ranks of the Reformers as to the
Sproper time in which to call a conven
tion, and also as to whether such con
vention should be called at all, and
whereas according to our Reform
ideas and rules, the people should
Supon all important questions, now,
therefore, we the uindersigned Re
formers do issue the following call:
To the Reformers of- Colleton:
You are iequested to meet at the court
Shouse in Walterboro od~ Monday, the 5th
rday of March next. at 12 in., to take into
consideration the propriety of having a con
vention of one from each county in the
State to decide upon the necessity ofT a con
1vention to suggest State officers and if the
jnecessity be determined, to fix the (date o.f
-calling the same.
"If such meeting decide that such con
vention should b e called to elect a delegate
to same.
"To~ request all the other counties to call
a meeting and elect a delegate as we have
done.
"T~hat such a convention be held in Co
lumbia on the 4th day of April next, and
Ithat if such convention provides for calling
a convention to suggest State officers that
they fix the date of the meeting of same and
issue the call."
The unity of sentiment among the
Reformers is wvhat we wish to bring
about. We'believe it is necessary
for a preliminary convention of some
sort in order that our forces will not
become scattered and confused, for in
the coming'campaign a death strug
gle will be made to accomplish the
destruction of the Reform Movement,
and that we may be a unit we must
adjust our differences. The Colleton
Splan seems to have such an object in
view, and if adopted by the several
counties good is bound to result.
There may be some who it will not
please, because it will knock the po
litical stilts from under them, but the
masses should not care who is or is
not pleased with a plan they may
adopt. Every man in the Reform
Movement that has its. principles at
heart is ready and willing to fall' into
line with any plan that will put the
Reform army in marching order. A
call of this kind comes direct from
people, and has nothing of the "snap
judg~ment" business about it. Will
the0Reformers of Clarendon accept
the Colleton plan? Speak out from
every quarter. In order that there
may be some uniformity of action
throughouit the State we suggest that
some one at the State capitol issue a
call for the counties to meet in ac
cordance with the Colleton plan. Let
that person be State Treasurer Bates,
Col. D. H. Tompkins, chairman of the
campaign committee of 1892, or Gov.
Tillman, the acknowledged champion
of the Reform Movement.

- A Democratic Victory.
The nomination of Peckhiam to bi a jus
tice of the Supreme Co-irt of the United
States was rejected by the Senate Friday by
a vote of 40 to 31.
Although party lines were not drawn in
the consideration of this nomination, the
result, nevertheless, is in the nature of a
democratic victory. A majority of the Sen
ate has declared against rewarding any
form of mugwAumpery with a seat on the
Supreme bench, and the result is in accord
ance with the desires and expectations of
the people.-Atlanta Constitution.

We were in the court house last Friday
and heard a discussion between two farm
ers about the leaders of the Reform Move
ment. One of them asked why it was the
Anti newspapers were constantly picking
at Irby, McLaurin and Tillman.. He re
ceived the following sensible reply: "A
hunter seeing a drove of turkeys always
selects for his game the biggest gobbler in
the drove, and the Anti papers are hunting
game and at every opportunity call the
most conspicuous figures in the Farmers'
Movement, but we old bay seeds have
hunted ourselves and will not be foolel by
the game calls of our opponents."
We asked if the incessant tirade. against
Tillman, McLaurin, Irby, and other promi
nent men in the Reform ranks does not
cause the people to weaken in their faith of
these men, and lie said:
"No, the people in the country know the
voice of an enemy just as well as the
hunter knows the decoy call of a hunter."
"What about Tilhan for the United.
States Senate?" we asked.
"I read your editorial in the Times which
stated your position upon the sol'ject, and
will say, you have voiced my sentiments to
the letter. I will not vote for my brother
for the legislature if he refuses to publicly
pledge, it elected, to cast his vote for Till
man, and we are not alone in this feeling.
I have been about the county a great deal
and it is the determination of all the true
men in our ranks."
"What about an early convention?'
"The convention business is not bother
ing the people at all. T'hey will stand
solidly together, convention or ,no conven
tion. If a convention is held by the Re
formers our people will take the ticket sug
gested and nominate it in the general pri.
mory."
"Are the Antis going to make any ef'oit
tocapture the legislative delegation in this
county?"
. "The Antis are laying lowv, and in my
judgment will endeavor to accomplish our
defeat by putting forward men pretending
to be Reformers, buj their scheme will not
work, as the people realize that none but
good, true ~Reformers should be put or
guard."
"Oh ! but Senator Butler is confident of
beirng returned to the Senate, and being a
shrewd politician must know what he is
talking about."
"Senator Butler is banking on the hope
of creating dissensions in our ranks, and
he has great confidence in the ability of
Ben Perry and Cal Caughman to assist him
in bringing about raptures, but the Senator
is dreaming. He is trying the tactics of
city ward politicians, and presumes on the
ignorance of the masses. Had the Scenator
responded to the call of the Antis in 18'00
instead of taking rheumatism he would
have found the masses not as ignorant as
he supposes them to be. They wvere then
learning the alphabet in polities, and by
close study for four years they have become
every man his own politician. By' the
way! I see that the Senator has dlonned a
Refoim cloak, but it don't ;fit him and he
can not button it up close and snug. It is
about three sizes too big for him, and the
silver buttons on it won't fool anybody
either. He had better take good care of it,
so that when Tillman beats him for the
Senate, Mr. Cleveland may be pleased to
see him wear it iat the confirmation services
in the Senate when the President has an
other mugwump friend to have confirmed.

is now thirteen years since the Calipadph Typewriter was first put
upon the market and in all that time has responded faithfully
to what is required of a firstc-class writing machine

prove that the Caligraph is without a peer.
