LOUIS APPELT, Editor. Wednesday, April 18, 1$94. Senator Zebulon Vance, of North Carolina, died in Washington last Saturday night. Candidates are being announced in other connties; in Florence the "many friends" of Rev. L. D. Bass have an nounced him a candidate for State Senator. We return thanks to the kind friends that furnished us with. copies of the Times of Feb. 14. We not ap preciate their kindness, but also ap preciate their thinking so much of the county paper as to keep it. Senator Ragin has been tendered, and he has accepted,- a position in the office of the Secretary of State. The position was formerly held by Col. Wm. Wallace, who resigned upon receiving his appointment as post master of Columbia. We congrat ulate our friend Ragin upon his good luck. It is really amusing to see how hard the newspapers opposed to Gov. Tillman try to make people ,believe that Ger.. Farley advised the Gov ernor against the necessity for troops at Darlington, while the fact is that Gen. Farley says the Governor did right in sending the troops and by doing so he prevented further blood shed. The Marion Farmer, just started, is a neatly gotten up newspaper, and judging from its first utterances the people of Marion will no longer be left to jeers and insults without a de fender. Marion is one of the banner Reform counties in the State, and should give the Farmer a hearty sup port . We wish Messrs. Parks & Gasque a successful career, and take pleasure in adding the Farmer to our exchange list. It is now being contended by some that there never -was a white militia in this State, and the Governor had no legal right to order out the com panies. We presume the principal ground for this contention is that it was - unconstitutional for the Gov ernor to order out troops. it is really wondertnl how the opponents of the State administration can squirm around to bolster up excuses for their conduct. If the militia law is defestive in the least it should be put in such shape as will insure an obedience of orders. The Anti ,newspapers are doing it~r utmost to create the impression that John L. McLaurin will give up his Congressional career to enter the canvass for Governor in the coming election. While it is a fact that Mr. Mc~anrin does not agree with some of the Reform leaders in the manner of enforcing the dispensary law and perhaps some other matters, he des agree with them in the principal is sues before the people, and he is not the man to lend a helping hand to the opponents of the Reform Movemet to the bringing about of a solif~i.he Reformocs If..moan Mc Laurin, 4ahi'stage of the political --batt1s;were to throw up his Congres sional aspirations and enter the field for Governor there is no doubt but what his action in the premises would ~be regarded with considerable suspic ion, and the result would be that many of his present staunch friends would oppose him. Mr. McLaurin has made a record in Congress that has wonifor him the highest praise, -and his constituency feel proud to endorse that record by sending him back, but they will not endorse him or any other man that makes himself an entering wedge to split the Beform Movement. The Reformers are fighting for measures and not for men, and there is no man in the Movement who can carry the people away from the principles sought to be *gained. Congressman McLaurin has no warmer friend in the State than the Times, and it will remain his true friend just as long as he remains true to the people that elevated him to his present position. If, however, he should allow the bickerings of mal contents to change him from Mc Laurin the people's man, to McLau rin the advocate of the disatisfed, a change will come upon the political stage that williplace another in Con gress equally as useful to the masses. We feel proud of our representa tive because of our personal friend ship for him, and because we know him to be astrue an exponent of the people's demands as any man in our .ranks, and it would be mortiflying, indeed, tous to see his brilliant ca reer cut off by his allowing his differ .ences of opinion in matters of mere detail to put him in a position that would give tbe least grounds for 5gaspicion. In our judgment it would be a grave mistake were he to allow himself to be'dragged into the guber natorial race when his services in Congress are so much needed. McLaurin, like every other man that has achieved greatness, has en emies; men who are jealous of the merited reputation he has made, and who would be delighted to see him make some blunder which they can take advantage of. Then there are ga3me newspapers in the Reform ranks that are constantly nagging at him, but not one of them has ever chedhim with ever being untrue to the people. The most they show is that he has opinions of his own and will not be dictated to by individuals and in this he isthe more to be ad mired; the people will stand square up t him as long as he continues to stand by them, whether his views suit other leaders or not. The guberna torial race will be free for all, and every man that wants to run for Gov ernor can do so. When the time comes to select a standard bearer for the Reform faction the members of the faction will indicate their choice at the local clubs, but we can safely say that no man will be considered by the Reformerswho is in the race to gratify an element of malcontents The great scandal suit in Washing on has at last given the public a rest. Lfter weeks of exposures of the dirty >artering of virtue in what is known Ls polite society in the Nation's Cap tol Congressman Breckinridge and Sliss Pollard have made themselves amous for being the chief actors in me of the dirtiest dramas ever en icted on the public stage. The car ain is rung down on Breekinridge with the hisses of contempt from his ellowman, and Miss Pollard is the recipient of the pity of good women and a $15,000-worthless verdict boquet, with the applause of every dventurerous strumpet in the land. Let the public be spared from a repe tition of the Breckinridge-Pollard drama. General Wade Hampton is again starting up his national league club project. He urges all those that favor the national platform to organize clubs. We see no necessity for such action in this State, but we do see where an organization that would compel our national leaders to stick to the platform upon which the peo ple elected them would do good. The people of South Carolina are in full accord with the National Demo cratic platform, and they voted for Mr. Cleveland to carry out the pledges made in that platform, but in this they were deceived. If Gen. Hampton will just do his missionary work in Washington where he is needed he may accomplish a perpetuation of the Democratic party. It is useless for him to waste his valuable service down here trying to make Demo crats of a people that are complain ing of the National leaders for not being true to the promises made in the party platform, and the only thing that he will accomplish if he continues will be to further divide the white vote, and increase the bitter ness now existing. The Democratic parte of South Carolina is organized and in condition to do its part of the work without being confused with new fangled ideas that are try ing to be injected for the purpose of bringing forward thos3 whom the people-the Democracy have repu diated and will not under any circum stances take dack. If it is the pur pose of Gen. .Hampton to organize a party in this State to fight the State Democratic organization it is to be deplored, and it will meet with about the same success as did the Haskell affair that the gallant Generai re fused to denounce. There was a Lime when the people would fly to anything that had a Democratic label upon it, but in this day they de mand proof. They were burnt in the last election, they thought they had a Democratic administration, and instead of such an administration they got a full fledged mugwump af air, with a general depression and almost starvation thrown in as a pre mium. Hereafter they won't take things without examination, even if it is the gallant Hampton that vouches for them. We are thoroughly convinced that, the Reform Movement is strongeiro~ day than it was in 1890, andit will continue to grow. Nearly every move ment the opposition bas made was a mistake and ajarge number that started wijk~-them.gradually fell off; sojnwdoming square over into our Lnks, while some refuse to go into either faction. The latter are op posed to Ben Tillman, and equally opposed to the rule or ruin policy of illman's opponents, hence they re main inactive; but since the develop ments of the past week a large num ber, heretofore inactive, have come forward to take a hand in the strug gle in order to show that they pro pose to put their seal of contempt upon the tactics now being resorted to by the political soreheads of Till man's opponents. If the lines are drawn fighter this year than ever be fore the opposition now assuming the role of peacemakers will be to blame, by asking for peace at a sacrifice of manhood. After the very old Nick is kicked up by the opposition and their conduct has aroused the indignation of the Reformers, they come with, "Now let us have peace,'' and when shown it is their conduct that is be ing resented, they quickly acknowl edge their mistake (?) and ask to let it go by to allay strife. When told you will not submit to their outra geous attempts at intimidation with out resentment, they tell you, "Two wrongs do not make a right, and it is the duty of good citizens to work for the bringing about of a more friendly feeling." The people have been stirred up, and we wish it were not so. There is none who deprecates such a state of affairs more than us, and there is none who would try harder to allay the bitterness than us, but as fast as we bury the bitterness on the one side the opposition get to the other and apply the torch of aggravation. It really seems to us the only way they will have peace is for the Reformers to give up every prize captured from them with a premium thrown in. Since the failure to cre ate consternation in the Reform ranks by their insurrectionary methods, the opposition feel keenly their dis: appointment, and in order to catch a. fresh hold to soothe you into their confidence they constitute -themselves into committees of "Let us have peace." The opposition would have the Reformers to allow themselves smitten upon one cheek and for the sake of what they call peace turn the other, but we are afraid these peace (?) missionaries will find up hill work instilling such a sentiment into the minds of the masses. The day has come when every man is held responsible for his acts, and if he offends his fellow man he must shoulder the result. Peace is what should be desired, peace is what we want, and peace is what we will strive for, but it will be that peace which comes without the slightest sacrifice of the principles we seek to maintain. If to procure peace we must throw away our man aood we say No. If to procure peace we must say to the opposition, "Come md share with us the things we were orced to take from you," we say No. We will say peace, however, and hout with joy when our opponents rtop trying to tearing down while we ire building up and show by their leeds that they really want peace, in tead of the oanves and fsnhe of office. The many friends of Mr. Isaac C. Ingram will be delighted to learn that he has received the appointment of Deputy U. S. Revenue Collector. Mr. Ingram is a son of Clarendon, and, although a Conservative, he is popular with both factions of the Democratic party. The Piedment Headlighit with its columns devoted almost entirely to the attempt at injuring Congressman McLaurin, was circulated quite ex tensively in this county last week, and the object is a nystery. The Headlight purports to be a Reform newspaper, and working zealously for the Reform cause. Recently it admitted not having anything against McLaurin, and that it had investi gated his official record, and advised the people of this District to return McLaurin to Congress. Now, upon the heels of this gratuitous advice, it comes back at McLaurin with squib after squib of insinuations of dis loyalty, and its editorial columns is devoted almost entirely to an at tempt is wield the political dagger. Brother Gantt had as well undertake to dip up the Atlantic ocean with a fork as to undertake to cause the people of the Sixth Congressional District to go back on McLaurin. The people are aware of the fact that our Congressman is not of one mind with some other leaders of the Re form Movement and they know that he is honest and sincere in his views. They know that he differs with Sen ator Irby, and often differs with Gov. Tillman on certain matters, but or the matters of vital interest to his constituents they are together. The Congressman from this District was not sent to Washington under the care of a guardian, nor will he have a guardian to watch over his acts. His responsibility is to the people, and it is to them that he will give an ac count of his stewardship. Brother Gantt and every other personal enemy McLaurin has, may go from house to house and distribute their tracts of political assassination, and when they are through John L. Mc Laurin will come out, not only on top but stronger than before. We had reasons to believe the Headlight was going to stop its fool ishness and let McLaurin alone, but for some purpose it continues with its work of baying at the moon.

"Reading the press dispatches one would think that Governor Tillman had stolen his office and thast the dispensary law wvas put upon the statute book's by fraud. "The truth is that he was elected the first time because -the masses' were disgusted with the dishonesty and intolerance of the then governing class. He was elected the second time on account of his unimpeach able honesty and firm determination to car ry out every law on the statute book. He accused the previous administrations of dishonesty and he proved it in his speeches and even the very papeis that opposed bin gave accounts of how certain State offliit were dishonest.

A Debtor Gave Him a Mortgage on His Growing Crop, but There Was a Slip. One of the best lawyers at the lo cal bar tells a true story at his own expense. He was employed in the summer to go into Calhoun county and looX after a claim of some $3,000 which a Selma (Ala.) merchant had on a farmei and preacher named Tayloc. The firm had heard that Tayloe was preparing to swindle them and instructed the lawyer to protect them. The attorney went down, and with very little difficulty found Tayloe's house. The farmer preacher and his good wife treated the lawyer like a lord and gave him one of the best dinners he ever ate. They had the best of everything, and he was given the cream of what they had. After dinner Tayloe, having learned the lawyer's business soon after his arrival, invited the latter tc look around the place with him. The dwelling and garden were on one side of a pretty creek and all of the land in cultivation; the stock, stables, toolhouses, etc., were on the other side. The cotton was as high as a horse's back, and the corn was extr a fine. It was a big place, and the lawyer says he never saw a prettier crop. Tayloe called the law yer's attention to all these things and begged him to be -patient. He ex plained how a fraction of his crop would pay the claim, whereas it would take his whole crop and his land, too, for that matter, to do it at that time. This all looked reason able, and the lawyer after examin ing the county records of Calhoun county and finding no mortgages nor liens against Tayloe's crop or land decided that it would be a sin to break the man up. The farmer cheerfully agreed to a mortgage on the whole of his crop and all of his stock to secure the debt, and the lawyer drew up an in strument by which Tayloe and his wife pledged every growing thing and every domestic animal then on their place in Calhoun county. This was properly signed, acknowledged and recorded in Talladega county. The lawyer wrote his client that he had had the debt abundantly se cured, and that he might feel entire ly safe about it. Finally the debt matured again, and as crops had begun to move it was expected that it would certainly be paid. It was not, however, and the lawyer went down to foreclose his mortgage. He and an officer of Calhoun county went out to take charge of the property. They reached the house. The lawyer passed it and started to cross the creek. "What are you going over there fori" asked the officer. --That is Talledega coun ty. This creek is the dividing line." The truth flashed over the lawyer in a moment. He hurried to the county seat of Talladega and inspected the records. There were recorded mortgages bear ing '.te long before his was filed in Calhoun county and covering every thing that Tayloe owned in the for mer county. The farmer, however. had gone with his wife to Texas, and there he is today preaching. The lawyer wrote the facts to his client .. and told him he would serve him as a slave the balance of his life, but the merchant was charitable and let him off with a basket of champagne. -Atlanta Constitution. The Oldest Labor Organization. In London there is a quaint old or ganization known as the Fellowship| of Free Porters. It was organized some time in the thirteenth century, and for nearly 590 years its membei's had the monopoly of the discharging of grain from boats coming up the Thames. A century ago the organ ization had 2,500 members, with a surplus which- in 1852 grew to ?81, 000. The construction of docks and the abolition of metage, or measurement of corn, destroyed the prosperity of the fellowship. It has been lan-a guishing for several years and re-( fuses to die because no provision has been made for the disposal of its funds. An arrangement has been a made recently whereby the funds are to be distributed, and meanwhile each member is to be paid 10 shil 1.ings a week.-Toronto Mail. Pythons Born In Captivity.
