THE MANMNG TIES. LOUIS APPELT, Editor. WednesdaY, November 14, 1S94. The famous Coxey was also a vic tim of the Republican landslide, al though he polled a large vote. Who could have thought that North Carolina would be the first Southern State to break the solid South? Adolph Sutro, Populist candidate for mayor of Sanfrancisco, was elect ed over five other candidates by a plurality of 18,000. When Dr. Pope goes back to Tex as to peddle on silver-plated spoons, won't he have an interesting tale of woe to tell his customers? As long as the liquor dealers will put up the money, just so long will Dr. Pope keep up his crazy fight against the Democratic party. The silver men of the West have lost confidence in both of the old po litical parties and will soon begin the work of organizing a new party. The Piedmoat Headlight is mak ing a strong fight for a further reduc tion of the salaries of State officials. It wants the salaries reduced on a par with the present prices of cotton. The Democratic party of the United States was given an indefinate vaca tion on the 6th inst. The vacation will no doubt be spent up the famous Salt river with Dr. Samps. Pope as sponsor. A german statician predicts that in three thousand years from now there will be two hundred and twenty wo men to one man. If our friends of the opposition will wait until that auspicious day they may possibly be come sought after in politics. The recent election throughout the Union shows very plainly that the populist party is swamped along with the Democrats. Governor Waite, the great Populist leader, has been sent to the rear; so has silver dollar Bland, and Cleveland's champion of tariff reform, W. L. Wilson. The case of the State against the town of Timmonsville for dam ages done to the dispensary at that place during the Darlington riot, was heard in Georgetown be fore a juy and resulted in a verdict for the State to the amount of $285.75, which the town of Timmonsville will have to pay. That dispensary was entered during the excitement by parties unknown and looted and dam aged to the amount claimed by the State. The case against the city of Florence has been continued. In both of these towns the rioters took advantage of the excited state of the people to help themselves to State property, and now the taxpayers of those towns are called upon to make. good the shortage. Rev. W. T. Thompson, pastor of the First Presbyterian church in Charleston, in the course of his ser mon last Sunday, speaking of the recent election, said, "Those who are now crying fraud ! fraud ! the loudest, are those who gave the first lessons in political impurity, and are only concerned because their too apt pupils have become their masters." 'The cry of fraud coming from the source it does, is the height of by pocracy, and they are making them selves the laughing stock of the coun try. The Republicans, howe~ver, may take advantage of the cry of fraud to unseat some of our Democratic Con gressmen; that may be a source of gratification to those that cannot rule, for it really seems some people would. rather ruin if they are not allowed to have their own way. The result of the election showsI that we are to have a constitutional~ convention, and it may be well for the people to look about them for suita ble men to represent them. We sin cerely hope that men will be selected, not for the amount of hurrahing they did for the Reform movement, but upon their true merit. To -%elect representatives to change the organic law of the land is one of the most im portant duties the people are called upon to perform, and it behooves them to be careful in their selection. They should not allow their recent victory to excite them into making mistakes, and above all, let the men who are to represent us be such as are able to leave their factional preju dices at home. We have labored hard for the Reform movement, and we labored for the constitutional conven tion, but while we realize the exis tence of two factions, and admit be ing a partisan in factional politics, yet we would not allow our factional feelings to control us in the matter of voting for delegates to the con vention. In casting our vote we will select men of conservative views re gardless of factional affiliations, and we sincerely believe if every man in the county will do likewise, the ne cessity for factional lines will be ob literated. Let us come together and send men to the convention that will be able to cope with delegations from other counties. The material is here, and it can be utilized if the proper methods are used. This should be one time when the people will need good, level-headed business men. Pkolitical fire-brands and sore-heads ought not to be called in consulta tion. The Greenville News, heretofore conservative, is now so disappointed in the result of the election on the constitutional convention that it wants the fight continued. It wants to go into the election of delegates with the issue of submitting the work of the convention back to the people, ann it continues to charge fraud and1 wants the election managers prose ::nted both in the federal and State :ourts. It invites the election com mittees of Congress to throw out our Democratic representatives and sug gests all manner of things and ideas to keep up a constant irritation. Such a paper should have no weight in influencing the make-up of the convention. There are a certain class of newspapers in the State that feed upon agitation; they do not want to see the people at peace with each oth er, for they know only too well if the people come together they will be out of inflamable material and their machinery will stop. They will offer all the obstacles they can invent to obstruct the work of the constitution al convention so that it will cost a whole lot of money and then they will cry out, "I told you so." It therefore behooves those anxious for more peaceful and prosperous times to relegate all mal-contents, sore beads, kickers, and 'croakers to the rear, and 'et the men with non-parti san reason come to the front to han dIe this all-important matter.

Peace, Unity and Reconelliation. For the next two years our people will b relieved from all political excitement, anc this peaceful interyal should be employed in reconciling our white voters, in educat ing the white people on the great public issues of the day, and working for the pros perity and upbuilding of our State. "Lei the dead past bury its dead," and lool only to the future. Partisan politics and bitterness never really benefited a peoplE or built up ajountry. A house divided against itself cannot stand, and neither can a people, who must live together and whc have a common interest and a common des tiny. Last week, in an address favoring a constitutional convention, Governor '.ill man sounded the key-note of the political situation in our State, and gave utterance to a patriotic sentiment, when, in speaking of the selection of delegates to the conven tion, he said, the people should choose "men of the very high 'at character, pures1 lives, greatest wisdom and knowledge, and they should be selected without regard as to how they stood." WVe should adopt this rule in all future contests in our State, for what applies to a member of'that constitu tional convention will apply with equal force to county, State and federal officers. There is much work to do in the next two years. First, that chasm of factional bitterness that has divided our voters since 1890 must be bridged, so that the people may meet togeather as fellow South Caro lians and fellow democrats, discuss theit differences, and see if we cannot, by mutual concessions and appeals to reason, get to gether once more, and then go to work for the advancement of our grand old State. The financial situation is a most impor ant matter to be solved, and in this the farmers and business men are alike equal ly interested-for when the tiller of the .coil is imi .,-eask-ed and oppressed, all other lines of business must alike feel the injurious effects, for it is most truthfully said, "the farmer feeds the world." There fore by next spring the merchant,the farmer, the professional man, and every other class and avocation interested in the prosperity of our country, should get together, and by an interchange of views, try and discover where their trouble lies and what remedy it is neccessary to apply. It will takea longe pull, a strong pull, and a pull alto. gether to circumvent and overthrow the all. powerful influence that we must combat, but we can do it by all working together. If by next fall we can add one cent to every pound of cotton grown in South Carolina, it will be worth more to our farmers than all the politiesthat you can pack in the capital at Columbia. But just so long as one faction of our white voters are pulling in one direction, and the other faction in a directly opposite direction, each trying to nullify what the other is doing, there is nc hope for the people, and who are the vic tims to this unwise policy. There should be no material differences among the demo crats of South Carolina,e for they havea common country, a common interest, and a common future. Let the motto of every true Carolinian be, "an injury to one is the concern of all." Then again, every patriotic citizen wants to see his State prosper and build up. South Carolina now outranks all of our southern states as a cotton manufacturing centre, and the eyes of not only American, but European capitalists, are now directed towads us. But so long as our people are divided on politics, and are fighting and pullng against each other, we can never attain that degree of prosperity as we would otherwise attain. We must quit our foolish bickering over factional politics, anditurn our talent and our energy in a more profi. table direction. If we can make two blades of grass grow where one grew before, or manufacture two bales of cotton where we are now only manufacturing one bale, it will be far more beneficial, and a far more commendable work, than making two re form votes, or two anti-reform votes, where the rival factions now have only one vote. And our own county and city of Spartan. burg are vitally interested in this matter,for even the London, England, papers speak of this section as the idanchester of the new South. So for the next two yea-s let s devote special and untiring attention to the development of our manufacturing enterprises; and instead of our home pa. pers publishing to the wvorld the libel that capital is not safe in South Carolina, let them show up the unrivalled advantages that we can offer to investors, and then tell capitalists that our's is the only southern state where the blighting hand of populism has not been laid, and that South Carolina is absolutely ruled by her white people. If certain newspapers in our State will devote one-half the space to advertising its re sources that they are now doing to bring it into disrepute and distrust, you will see in the next two years many of our idle water-powers enchained, many wasteiplaces built up, and the wilderness made to blos som as the rose. There is nothing more timerous than capital, and when the monied men of the country see an infloential ele met of our home people distrusting the honor and stability of their state's govern. ment, they 'very naturally take fright. And in this connection we wish to say that our agricultural classes are vitally in terested in encouraging manufacturing en terprises, for the day is not far distant when they must give up the production of cotton as a money crop, and turn their at. tention to something else. Now, if we can dot our state with mills and manufacturies, giving employment to thousands of people who must depend upon the farmer for their sustenance, we then open at our doors a ready and profitable market for other pro ducts than the fleecy staple. It is a mis taken idea that the farmer should array himself in hostility against the town and dent upon the other, and their business and interest in no manner whatever con flicts. One farmer never needs the surplus vegetables, stock, chickens, eggs, butter, wood, or even grain and cotton of another farmer, but it is the town people, and hands employed in and around mills, that p are his patrons. Therefore the larger a number of customers there be, the greater e the demand for the products of his land, and the better the prices. On the other hand, but for these farmers our factories 0 and merchants would have to close their e doors and the people would starve. Now do you not see the folly in any antagonism between classes so mutually dependent e upon one ainother, and whose lues of busi- e ness do not, in the slightest degree, come c in conflict? There is neither sense or reason S in the country people entertaining hostility t toward the town people, or the residents of our towns antagonizing the denizens of the rural sections. We can understand why a a greedy or envious merchant should a fight another merchant in the same line of business that he is engaged in, or a jealous (armer falling out with his neighboring farmer because lie sold to some of his cus- C tomers; but it is the height of folly for the t consumer and producer, or the seller and the buyer, to be at the dagger's point, when their lines of business, lead in diametrical ly opposite directions. C It is only a little handful of office-holders f who fatten and prosper on polities. The I great rank and file of our voters are not in the slighest degree interested, except so far as to secure the enactment of laws looking to their rehef and bent-fit. When a set ot t men once get in office. they are going to r look out for self every time, and forget the promises they made the people when btg ging their sutfrage. Take our own reform party for examuple. The rallying cry in 18M0 was that salaries were too high, and t should be reduced. Well, the guileless C and confiuding farmier desposed the old political oligarchy, and elevated to power these reformers. And yet what do we find? Why, our reformers have now been t in office for four tong years, and to day are C drawing identically the same salaries as were fixed when the farmer sold a bale of cotton for $100, instead of $25, as he must now do. And these officers are efficient t and honest men, too; but when a fellow I I must take a few hundred dollars out of his own pocket and restore it to the tax-payers, it is "agin human nature," and too great a tax on one's patriotism. "To self the wavering balance shakes-'tis rarely right 1 adjusted." But when the next campaign rolls around, the people are again worked up to a fever heat of political excitement, and some new war-whoop sounded. The voter, while laboring under political excite- I ment, forgets all about those past and t violated promises, and feels thst as he is t responsible for the existence of the ruling dynasty, it is his patriotic drnty to uphold and sustain it. - Well, so far as the The Peidmont Head light is concerned, we sball hereafter let politicians and office-holders paddle their own canoe, except to remind them of the pledges they made th. people, and demand their fulfilment. We shall devote our entire time and care Ito looking after the well-being and happiness of the toiling and I I tax-paying masses, for the fellow who is 2 drawing a big salary is already content, and can take care of himself. We shall devote the next tw.y years of our work in striving to bring about a bet ter feeling among all classes of our people, I and show them the folly of a fraticidal con test. We shall do all that lies within our power to build up and develop our section and State, and direct the attention of the farmer into more profitable channels than . politics. Our Southern people are natural ly of an inflammable and excitable tempera ment, and it is easy to get them worked up to a white heat on some political issue. We shall pour the oil of peace and unity upon 1 these troubled waters, but, at the same 2 time, carefully guard the well-being of our agricultural classes, and tell them every thing that transpires, and point ont thie dangers in their path. We have the great money power of the world to fight in 1896,I and need every voter that we can command. We shall insist upon our state adnilnistra tion redeeming those pledges made the people in 1890, and that our public servants give full value in return for the money they take from the tax-payers.C Henceforth we will have a white primaryt in South Carolina for the nomination of all state officers, and the people will. be our suprewe rulers. Factiond politics must then perish from the very face of the earth, for henceforth appeal-; must be made not to class or to faction but to every man, every business, and every profession. We 1 will then have a fuller, a freer and fairer -representation in our state government. And when these Anglo.Saxon voters speak,1 no man will dare appeal from tbe decision that they make, for such an appeal would] be to allign one's self with the negro. Let me have peace; let our people get together anti pull together; and let the up building of our state be paramount to al else. SCROFULA CURED. "About two years ago I had a very bad breaking out on my neck and face and fi nally it came out all over miy body. 'rhe doctor said it was scrofula, and he treated me for nearly a year, bnt it grew worse in stead of better, and at last he said I could not be cured. My suffering was terrible. One of my friends got me a bottle of Hood's " Sarsaparilla and I began taking it and si very soon felt better. I continued taking u Hood's Sarsaparilla until I had uses seven bottles and I was then comipletely Lured." Henry C. Baker, Lansford, S. C. Hood's Pills cure all liver ills. c DANGER FROM CAT.ARH-. The most important feature about that very common complaint, catarrh in the e head, is its tendency to develop into soae n other more serious and dangerous disease. j The foul matter dropping from the head down into the bronchial tubes or lungs is very liab'.e to lead to bronchitis or con- C sumption, that destroyer which causes C more deaths in this country than any other disease. As catarrh originates in impuri-e ties in the blood, local applications can do but little good. The c -mmon sense meth- a od of treatment is to purify the blood, and b for this purpose there if no preparation r superior to Hood's Sarsaparilla. The pow erful action of this medicine upon the blood expells every impurity, and by so doing cures catarrh and gives health to the entire organism.
