LOUIS APPELT, Editor. Wednesday, June 13, 1894. Mrs. Mary Ellen Lease, the famous female -politician, is announced a can didate for Congress at large in the State of Kansas. The Prohibition Convention would not nominate an independent ticket, much to the discomfiture oi Mr. Gon zales and Jerry Smith. , The military court of inquiry has made its report to Gov. Tillman. The report shows a thorough investi gation and free from white wash. Let us all lay aside our personal differences and go to work for the accomplishment of bringing about a more united sentiment in the State. From the way some of the Antis are applying for admission into the Reform ranks it would be well to put out sentinels to keep them all from coming in at one time. , Our last issue of the Times, con taining Congressman McLaurin's speechhas attracted considerable at tention abroad judging from the ap plications for extra copies of the paper. Gov. McKinley, of Ohio, ordered out troops last Thursday to quell the uprising of mine workers and the military promptly obeyed. The same action was taken by Gov. Jones, of Alabama, with the same result. S nzales ifelares that he will have nothing to do with the coming Dem ocratie primary, because a few white men in the State that voted for Weaver wil-be allowed to partici pate. What a calamity! We have received a, request to publish a very interesting letter from the pen of Captain D. W. Brailsford, which appeared in the News and Courier last week, but the article is so long that we can not do so this week. Col. Wilie Jones, of Columbia, - is announced by his friends a candidate for State Treasurer. Col. Jones is one of the bet men in the State, a thorough man of business and a strong friend of the Reform adminis tration. The Democratic Executive Coin .nittee offended Mr. Gonzales, the ex ponent of Haskellism, by adopting a resolution allowing all white men to -participate in the Democratic pri mary who will come within the rules of the party. We warn Brother Bowden, of the Cotton Plant, to keep an eye on -Brother Gonzales, of the State, or he mighitwake up some day and find himself crowded off the Third party plstform and Gonzales claiming full *posssson of it. -There isasly game going on -to give Congressman McLaurin opposi tion in the sixth district, but the peo ple are on the lookout for such -things, and the sneaking efforts of a few malcontents now opposed to Mc Tenn will amount to nothing. -This is one campaign year that the people demand argument and reason instead of vituperation and abuse. The candidate that enters the canvass to villify and abuse his opponents -will come out lacking in votes. Can didates take notice and govern your selves accordingly. Hon. James E. Tindal has consent ed to gratify his friends in Clarendon to become a candidate for Governor. -If Mr. Tindal is chosen Governor the Reform Movement will go on with its progressive march to the accomplish ment of the many reforms needed in the State, and the present irritation and strife will soon be a thing of the past. __ Clarendon is away behind with her -crop of candidates. So far theredis not a sing'le announcement of the 'umany friends" nominating a man for office. It is historical fact that no man was over elected to office in this county who did not first announce his can didacy through the Times. The voters make up their ticket from the Times. In the court at Darlington last Monday true hills were found against State -Constables McLendon and Cain for the killing of Frank Nor ment in the Darlington insurrection. The jury also found a true bill against Dr.Payne for killing the negro that asserted he was one of - the parties that broke into the .Darlington dis pensary. -The Prohibition convention in Co uimnbia seems to have been captured by the'Tillmnan dispensary crowd of the Nettles stripe. This is bad ! What eould be worse?-Sumter Free man. Why, of course, to have been cap tured by the Anti-Tillman, anti-dis pensary crowd of the Dargan stripe. The answer comes easy; give us something hard. The latest scheme devised by the political opponents of Gov. Tillmnan u to send men through the State pre tending to sell flour, and while thus engaged they try to get in their work for Butler. A nice, shrewd game this, and no doubt a few may be taken in by it, but the masses where the Governor expects his support will not be deceived by the pretending drummers. Waddill, of Darlington, is one of Butler's latest acquisitions, and with Perry, of Greenville, and Cftughmian, of Lexington, the Senator enters the race with a spiked team of politisal hacks. Since Gonzales has cussed oit the lleveland Democracy he has been aintly rapping on the Third party loor for adnission, but Bowden is :he doorkeeper, and he says, "If he is 2ot good looking he can't get in." If every county in the State is like larendon the Reformers will not vote for a candidate for the Legisla Lure who does not publicly pledge himself to vote for Ben Tillman for the United States Senate. No sneak ing tactics will be tolerated. The people of Clarendon want Tillman for Senator, Tindal for Governor and McLaurin for Congress. Our many readers will read with deep interest the able letter from Rev. Henry M. Mood that we reproduce from the Columbia Journal. Mr. Mood is a student of human nature, a close observer, and from his long experience with the ways and man ners of man he is able to discuss the liquor problem in that practical man ner which is characteristic of the man. If the prohibitionists through out this State will listen to the good advice given in Mr. Mood's letter and act in accordance therewith, the day will not be far off when the banner of total prohibition will be wavering from our State house, and it will be backed by such a powerful sentiment thot illicit selling will not be tolerat ed. According to E. A. Webster, State chairman of the Republican party, the News and Courier and State ap prove of the movement that is being made by the Republicans to test the constitutionality of the registration law. He says these papers have de clared the law plainly unconstitution al. The registration law was enacted long before the Reformers came into power and the Newa and Courier never doubted the constitutionality of the law until now. How strange? The courts may declare the law un constitutional, but white man's su premacy will go on all the same' in spite of the News and Courier and State, and national league clubs and the few malcontents who would rather see the old order of things than to have the rule of the masses. Tne following appealing letter has been sent out: Headquart ers of the Republican State Ex ecutive Committee. OMANGEBUEG, S. C.. May 31. 1894. To the Republicans of South Carolina: At a meeting of the State executive com mittee held at Columbia on the 15th inst., a special committee was appointed consist ing of the State chairman, Hon. E. M. Brayton, Major J. H. Fordham and E. J. Dickerson, Esq., for the purpose of taking some action to test before the courts the constitutionality of the registration law. This committee have consulted with able and eminent attorneys and have been ad vised that there is a strong probability of having this unjust and odious law set aside as unconstitutional. The times are favor able and the political situation in the State is such that an effort of this kind will meet with the sympathy and support of many of the best citizens without regard to political affiliations. Already the News and Courier and the State have approved of the move ment and declared the law as plainly un constitutional, Funds are immediately and urgently needed that the test cases may be started at once and prosecuted with as little delay as possible to the courts of last re sort. Great interests are at stake, involv ing not only your right to vote, but that of your children for many years to come. -At the election this fall a vote will be taken on holding a constitutional convention. Every Republican in the State is interested and should contribute as he is able to a common fund for meeting the expenses of employ ing the best legal talent in the State in pushing these cases to, a speedy adjudica tion. The county chairmen should immediately take steps to collect a fund for their various counties; pastors of churches are earnestly requested to present this matter to their, congregations and to solicit and forward contributions. Prompt action is necessary in forwarding contributions as a certain1 amount must be raised within the next ten days. All funds should be sent to E. M. Bray ton, Columbia, S. C., or E. A. Webster. Orangeburg, S. C. E. A. WznsmE, State Chairman. A SHY!STER STATESMAN~. According to the doctrine of the opponents of the Reform Movement, only such as will give obedience to the wishes and dictates of Wall street regardless of the solemn promises made to the people are considered Democrats. Congressman Rayner, of Maryland, who was elected upon the National Democratic platform not only repudiates the platform, but had the brazen effronteryin a recent speech delivered in Congress in referring to that plank of the Democratic plat form pledging _the repeal of the tax npon State bank circulation to lay: Its explicit character, he admitted; how it got there he didn't know. But as far as he was concerned, the platform might as well have pledged a repeal of the Ten Commandments: "I do not know how it may be with others, but with me the time has not yet arrived when I have surrendered my conscience and my convictions to the keeping of a political convention. I utterly deny that it lies within the province or the jurisdiction of a con vention to trammel me in the dis charge of my duties by any such de claration as this. This bill to rep-eal the tax upon State bac~k circulation failed to pass at the last Congress in a Democratie House, and now~ I am told that because some one ~slipped these words inato the platform that 1 am to be manacled like a slave and robbed of the greatest boon that a free man in these halls can claim, and that is the right to vote upon ques tions of public policy in accordance with the dictates of duty, that it lies not within the power of any man or set of men to shackle or trample upon." Yet our opposition press will day in and day out abuse the Reform representatives of South Carolina, and call them Third partyites, Pop ulists and everything but Democrats when they know that not one vote has been cast but what was in accord ance with the pledge made at Chicago and upon which the Democracy was entrusted with power. Rayner, of Maryland, was elected upon the Dem ocratic platform, and so was McLau rin. The Marylander regards a party promise a "glittering generality," and the South Carolinian regards a party promise a solemn pledge. The form er mocks at the people and says Wall street shall rule, and the latter re spects the wishes of the people, and says the government is of the people, WATCH OUT 1OR MORE BONDS. c Congressman Oates, of' Alabama, f :ne of the President's gouthern riends, and who recently received I the Democratic nomination for Gov ernor, said to a reporter of the At anta Constitution, who asked him if he had said that "the money power had the Government by the leg." re plied: "Yes, I did say it, and while the words were not Mr. Cleveland's-I have been quoted as saying they were--the sentiment was his. I have talked a good deal with Mr. Cleveland and in discussing the financial situa tion and the condition of the treasury he has gone so far as to say in the strong language that is characteristic of the man, that the New York banks have such control of the situation that he, the President, didn't know what to do." 0-4 4 GONZALES ISGRUN fLED. "Chickens will come home- to roost," is an old saying and a true one. It will be remembered that in the May convention of 1892 a set of resolutions was adopted known as the Latimer resolutions which denouuced Grover Cleveland as the tool of Wall street, and that his election would be a prostitution of Democratic princi ples. As soon as Cleveland was elect ed N. G. Gonzales; editor of- the Co lumbia State, unlimbered his guns of vituperation and from day to day kept up a constant fire of abuse upon the Reform faction. He not only did this, but with his friends went to Washington and directed the atten tion of the authorities to what the Reformers of this State said about Mr. Cleveland, in order to prevent the chosen representatives of the peo ple from exercising an influence to wards getting patronage from the federal government. The effect of this fight against the Reformors was a holding up of appointments in this State, and in some instances a disre gard for the recommendations made by the Reform Congressmen. This condition of affairs continued until the failure of Mr. Gonzales to get a consulship which he desired. When all hope of getting an official crumb from Mr. Cleveland's table had fled, a change comes over the spirit of Gon zales and in last Friday's issue of the State we read the following: "We have no reason to doubt the statement in the Washington Star an independent paper-that Presi dent Cleveland used his influence against the repeal of the State bank tax. We know that but for his atti tude of hostility or indifference the vote would have been very different. We have been hoping against hope that Mr. Cleveland would at least rise to a broad and national view of the currency question, but we now real ize that he is obstinate in his purpose to force upon the country a narrow and sectional policy, hostie to South ern interests. It is hardly necessary to say that if we could have antici pated this three years ago The Slate would never have supported him for the Democratic nomination. His first term gave no indication of a course so radical. We can excuse minor policies which are the product of his Eastern environments, but we cannot forgive his desertion of the platform upon which he gained the Presidency. At this spot we take our leave of President Cleveland." This is really amusing, and it only shows that it was not the principles of Grover Cleveland Mr. Gonzales was defending with so much ability, but [it was his way of pressing. a claim for official favor. We imagine hearing the editor of the State thus soliloquizing: "I tried my best to make Cleveland believe the Tillman ites were not Democrats, and showed him where they said he was the tool of'Wall street. I done my best to make him believe be was my ideal Statesman, and asked him to give me a meaisly consulship, but he let me go on until I spent all the abuse and vituperation at my command and then cast me aside. I now say damn Cleveland, damn Tillman, and damn me for making this spectacle of my self. Latimer sized old Grover up three years ago, but I did not have sense enough to find it out until too late, how unfortunate I am. I can not follow Cleveland any ldnger, and the Tillmanites won't have anything to do with me, so I will enjoy the privilege of cussing out the whole fix and bid adieu to the Democratic party, and if I behave myself in the future I might stand a chance for recognition with the brother in black for whose political advancement I have been craving ever since Tillmnan became the exponent of white man's supremacy." Bowden of the Cotton Plant, and Gonzales of the State, are two polit ical .orphan twins, both without a political parent, and neither knows whither he is drifting. The news papers throughout the state should treat them tenderly because there is a possibility of one of them at least being adopted by the Democracy. Bowdena has already been accorded the privilege'of attending the Demo cratic frolic in August if he will be a good boy and keep his face clean, but Gonzales is a head strong child, and we doubt if he will go to the frolic if a clean face is required. We clip from the National Watch man a number of edito1-ial paragraphs which show that the representative of this district has attracted the atten tion of other newspapers besides those in South Carolina: "The customary Congressional speech is read from a type-written manuscript to empty benches or to members engaged in the occupation of writing letters or reading news papers. ** "McLaurin, of South Carolina, is not of the "cut and dried" type; he speaks offhand without even a note and is very earnest in delivery, and with the rare faculty of handling figures so as to make them interest ing. He can always command atten tion. Last Thursday he gave the old party hacks something not down on the program, when he launched out into an attack on Springer and the formation of the banking and currency committee. There was a1 ine vein of sarcastic humor woven into his remarks. Thme reference to "rude tramplers upon the grass in lignities of the great American Con 7ress," and the sneering allusion to sherman, Springer and Harter as the yarents of "Cozeyism," was a well nerited rebuke to the grasping self shness of these men. "It is refreshing to find a Democrat Nith the courage of his convictions. ust such a speech was needed and %IcLaurin was the man to make it. [mmediately after Cleveland's elec ,ion, there was great talk of opposi 'ion to Crisp who was snubbed at the Reform Club banquet. During the spring Mr. Crisp visited the Presi dent and it was charged made his peace by promising to organize the ommittees on certain lines. * * "What is result? No step has been taken to present a silver bill. Bland is the chairman- of the committee on coinage, weights and measures, and is unable to get his bill out of the com mittee. It was organized against him. Springer, chairman of the B. & C. committee, as McLaurin said, "boldly, openly and impudently re pudiated the platform of the party on the currency question," and McLau rin more than insinuates that he was appointed to his present position to "defeat" not to "redeem pledges," because it was known that he was a "mugwump, true to no party or plat form, faithful to no tie, save the one that binds him to the money power, whose merciless oppression is robbing the people of the fruits of their toils a severe arraignment, but true. Al ready there is talk of bringing in a rule to shut off debate, the "old sin ners" are afraid another McLaurin will bob up. And there will, for now that McLaurin has had the boldness to break the ice others will follow and expose the rottenness of the hollow sham that is being played upon the people. "Governor Tillman is outspoken on the necessity of a union between the South and West and he has a bold and tireless lieutenant in McLaurin. When such men as these begin to move it means something. We in tend to print a portrait of McLaurin soon and give our readers P chance to see this young Carolinian, and we wish every farmer and laboring man in the country would read his speech. Elsewhere we quote some of the statistics." How's This. We offer One Hundred Dollars, Reward for any case of catarrh that cannot be cured by Hall's Catarrh Cure. F. J. CHEN & Co., Props., Toledo, 0.

Our readers will remember that last week we mentioned the disposition made of the case in Charleaton against that maccaroni eater, the famous Mr. Chicco, who ran a Market street blind tiger during the time the dispensary law was in operation, and to get a return of $50 from the county treasurer made an affidavit that he had not sold any liquor, etc. We clip from the Charleston San a fnlier statement of the affair: "When the news had been receive~t that the dispensary law bad been declared un constitutional, a reporter was sent to inter view the saloon keepers to get their opinion as to what they thought 'about it. He went into Vincent Chicco's establishment on Market street, and in the course of an in terview that took place Chicco declared to to the reporter that he had been selling liquor during the time that the dispensary law was in operation. Chicco said this much of his own volition. "He made the statement voluntarily and spoke in a boastful spirit. In order to be sure of his words, the reporter said to him: "'Do you mean to say that you were selling liquor while the dispensary law was in effect?' "Chicco replied: ' Yes, I was and I don't care if Gov. Tillman or anyone else knows it.' Chicco saw the reporter as he wrote his declaration down and the latter took the pains to read the words out to him not once but twice for his approval. No exception was taken to the publi:a tion by Chieco nor was any dissent offered to it. Last week, Gov. Tillman having taken cognizance of the discrepancy be tween this statement and the affidavit made by Chicco in order to obtain a refund on his license tax, directed County Treasurer Walter to institute proceedings against him. The county treasurer asked the ed itor of the Sun for the name of the reporter and whether he would make affidavit of the facts in order to base a warrant for Chicco's prosecution. He was told that the reporter would testify to Chicco's words as substantially stated in the Sun, but that he would not be placed in* the position of prosecutor, as while he could only tell the truth if called on to testify, neither he or this newspaper was called on to assume the office of prose cutor. The treasurer then requested that the reporter be asked to wait on him which was done. Those are the "instructions" which it has been insinuated the reporter was given. Monday afternoon Chicco in company with Mr. A. L Brodie called at the report er's residence. The reporter was not in, but later in the evening he called at Chicco's store on Market street to see what was wanted. Chiceo and Mr. Brodie were both present and what occurred there and then may be told briefly. The reporter was asked to see Mr. Le gare. Chicco's lawyer, for the purpose, as. he understood it, of changing the character of his evidence. The reporter declined to yield to this suggestion when Chieco be. came angry and assaulted him. He struck at the reporter (who is anything but Chic co's physical equal) three times, but the latter managed to dodge the blows. There were some Italians in the store at the time and it appeared as if the reporter would be mobbed. There were no officers passing at the time and therefore assistance in this direc tion could not be had. The reporter appeared yesterday in obe dience to a summons and testified to the statement of Chicco as published. The defendant's counsel took advantage of his position as attorney to draw infer erences as to the correct meaning of the word "liquor." There was no opposing counsel which gave Mr. Legare an opportunity to display his ability as a lawyer and to play upon the fancy of Judge Milan. The reporter was not a prosecutor but was simply in court in obedience to a sum mons as a law-abiding citizen to verify what he had stated in the Sun with Chicco's consent. d S ESSENIL 00 HEALTH If you are troubled lb BOILS, ULCERS OR PIMPLES, SORES our blood is bad.
