The editor of this paper feels truly v
grateful to the numerous friends that sl
so kindly expressed themselves to him
on hearing that we were about to be
removed from the postoffice. It is a
consolation to us to know that there
are men in this community who can
lay aside factional feeling when they V
see an act of injustice about to be
consumated. When we entered the
race for the office of postmaster, we
endeavored to treat our opponents t
fairly, and did not resort to protest- E
ing against their appointments; we e
simply did what they, or any other t
citizen had the right to do, and that -
was to make the best showing possi
ble in our behalf. We succeeded, 0
and of course did not expect the war- C
fare to continue, nor did it continue f
with some; they finding themselves n
not selected, quietly gave up the r
fight, and one who was Mr. J. H. tl
Tesesne, was among the first to gave
us his hand in congratulation. Major C
P. G. Benbow, however, concluded a
that the race is not always to the
swift kept up his fight, if our infor
mation is correct, and the result con
firms it. We knew that our every 1
movement was being watched, be
cause months ago we received infor
mation that efforts were being made f
to have us removed. Editorial clip- d
pings from the Times was sent to F
the authorities, and these were used 5
for all they were worth. Finally we
had the misfortune to have had cause
to discharge from our employ, a
young man who took up his abode t
with the man that was after the post- c
offee. The next thing we knew a
r
government officer came to Manning, I
and after a consultation with our op
ponent, and the young man formerly t
in our employ, and later a boarder
with our opponent; we were charged
with abstracting a $1.25 check from
a letter addressed to the Enterprise,
a suspended newspaper; and now, to r
,-cap the olimax, before we have had t
an opportunity to show our innocence
or guilt, we are on the brink of re- C
moval. Had either of our opponents
defeated us when we were all striving I
for the place, not a word nor act
from us would have been heard, that
would have given them -the least s
anxiety or worry, but p6ople are
differently constituted, in'VMch be- a
ing the case, our official be-d has not 8
been one of roses, and if we could C
produce some letters now in the de- I
partment at Washington, we would C
furnish the public with some surpri- a
ses.C
It is now believed that Hon. J. L.
McLaurin will not have his seat
contested.
President Cleveland, while out r
walkin last evening, stepped on at
--stone which rolled from under him z
causing him to sprain his ankle.
Tom Watson, the Populist candi
date, for Congress from Georgia's I
tenth district, has accepted Col E
Blacks proposition to have the elec- C
tion between them run over.
Captain Kolb, the many-times-de- a
feated-candidate for governor, of f
Alabama, has issued a manifesto de- i
cdaring that he has been legally f
elected and will be sworn in as gov- 3
ernor. He calls upon the good peo- 2
pie of the State to aid him. When- I
ever the people of Alabama can get i
clear of Kolb they may have some e
peace but until then, that State will t
be in a constant uproar. Doctor t
Pope should fly to Kolbs rescue as i
both of them seem to have the same s
desire to kick up a racket. t
The day after the election Dr. c
Pope threatened John Gary Evansi
with the penitentiary in case he did 2
- not perform exactly to suit the papal i
edict, and he was also ready to ex
communicate Tillman from the j
United States Senate, over which he 1
lia a special supervision. Poor 1
Pope! In a few brief months there
will be "none so poor as to do him f
reverence," and his recent allies will r
forsake him now and forever. He
will be remembered as the Pope who j
issued bulls against the comet. ~ t

There will be but one Democrat in '
the next Michigan legislature. This ~
will be the first instance on record, C
we believe,of an organized party rep
resented in a legislative body and
ne having strength enough to move
to adjourn. The Michigan man will
have nobody to second his motion.
He cannot even call the ayes and '
nays. His parliamentary functions E
will be limited to rising to a point of
order, answering on a viva voce vote
and making some few lonesome Dem
ocratic remarks when he can get theE
floor..
Tennesseo has been redamned by a
the Republicans, and if some of the a
people of this State do not let up on 1
their suicidal policy the same fate a
awaits South Carolina. To prevent 3
this State from getting into the hands t
of the enemy our white people must a
come together and bury past differ- i
ences. We must make the start now,d
ane when the time comes for select- fi
ing representatives to the constitu- (
tional convention, none but those t
who have the good of the country at a
heart should be brought forward. '1
The Times holds out the olive branch t
to its opponents and calls upon them J
to join in and help make the consti- d
tutional convention the best assem- P
blage ever seen in the State. If our e
opponents are going to allow the Y
soreness of defeat to influence their a
actions it will be their fault, if men 3
are selected through partisan feeling.
We desire to see the convention a
non-factional body, and so doe's the
leaders of the Reform movement and
it will be such a body if the proper
spirit is displayed by the conserva-m
ties G
From different sections of the
ate have we had responses of ap
oval of our editorial in which we
ggested the name of General
>seph H. Earle for one of the judge
ips, and it would not surprise us if
hen the General Assembly meets,
hear that he has been elected by
i overwhelming majority. To pui
arle upon the bench will show tc
te world that the Reformers ar
oking for merit; that they are noi
narrow minded as to believe thai
)ne but orignial Tillmanites shouc
a given office. The Reform factioz
ill do itself great credit when il
lects for so high and importan
osition Joseph H. Earle.
The Late Election in This State.
"There are none so blind as thos<
,ho will not see."
The Columbia State thinks thal
the anti-reformers had put out I
ill ticket and made a straight fight
aat they could have defeated Johi
rary Evans. The State bases iti
spectations on the reduced majorit3
y which Mr. Evans defeated Dr

)i Tuesday of last week they playe(
beir every card, and so far from an,
eflection in the reform ranks takini
lace, our power and determinatioi
trengthen each year.* There were ii
partanburg county at least tw<
housand reformers who did not vot
a the late election, for they knei
bat Dr. Pape had no hope whateve
f being made governor, and so the;
emained at home and picked cottor
;ut had an Independent ticket bee1
rotted out, and the reform blood o
dese sturdy farmers stirred up, yoi
rould have seen them turning out ti
man, and those Independents wouL
ave been snowed under a'cut a
ad as was Juge Haskell in 1890. Th
eform movement is just as stron
o-day as it ever was, as its opponent
rill discover when they attempt ti
verthrow it.
No one more earnestly desire
eace and unity among our whit,
oters than the editor of The Head
ght; and we had strong hopes c
eeing this end consummated unti
lection day, when the anti-reformers
lmost to a man, marched to the poll
nd voted for Dr. Sampson Pope fo
overnor, while a few even cast thei
allots for a repulican for congres
ver the nominee of their party, an<
fter they had a candidate of thei
wn in the field, and who was fainl
efeated. The people saw this, too
nd it destroyed all hopes, for a ion,
me at least, of anything like politi
al reconciliation. While the farmer
rere ready to bury the hatchet, th<
ainority showed that they were a
evengeful as ever, and the only peac
hat they will make would be th
nconditional surrender of our far
aers. Well this never be done, an4
if this fact you can rest assured.
For the life of us, we cannot se
tow any self-respecting and consist
nt anti-reformer could ever get hi
onsent to vote for Samps. Pope fo
overnor. You may talk about the
itterness and abuse of Ben Tillmai
gainst antis, but he could not hol<
light to Dr. Pope-the only di:
erence being that the Doctor di<
ot possess the mental powers t<
rame his wrath into as intelligen
rords as the governor. For th
eformers to take up Judge A. C
laskell, and make a hero of hin
rould be about as consistent as tb
spousal of the cause of Dr. Pope b:
be antis. And Dr. Pope has no
be brains or ability t~o even lead th<
litics in a country precinct. Ti
how how silly he is, when fightini
lie antis, he manifested his resent
ent by refusing to ride over the E
a D. railroad. With the same chin
tuepin mental powers, he is nos
harging all manner of frauds an<
ascality against the party to whic1
Le once belonged, and which charge
re as foolish as they are unfounded
I Ben Tillman is such an unscrupu
aus scoundrel and political trickster
)r. Pope should have found it ou
rhen he was in the Governor's con
dence, and while clinging to Till
aan's coat-tail to hold an office.
Now, our advice to the minorit;
iction in South C.aolina is to lose n<
ime in joining the reform movement
nd thus get yourself in a positio.
rhere you can appeal to the reaso:
nd justice of our farmers. And
on't go into this movement, either
rith the expectation of being re
arded with office right away, fo:
be calf is not quite fat enough jus
.0w to kill, and you will have to hell
sed it. Hereafter we will have
rhite pnrmary for the nomination o
very State officer, and against th<
erdict that is then rendered no dem
erat will dare appeal. To do so wil
e to repudiate your own race ani
arty, and throw yourself into the
utstretched arms of the negro ani
be republican.
The Headlight has the well-being
nd the interest of our entire peopl
t heart, and will do anything in its
ower to bring about genuine peact
nd unity. But it is a waste o:
rords and space to preach such doe
eine to intelligent farmers so long
s the minority repudiates the nom
aees of their party, and support In.
ependents and republicans. Thb
rmers are in a majority in Souti
~arolina, and they will rule this State
o. You can appeal to their intelli
'ence and sense of justice, but neve
anquish them by fighting thei
rinciples, by denunciation, and b
yinng forces with the negro. If
emocrat did not see proper to sup

The Lesson or the Hour.
The election last week in this State
was very damaging to the unity of
the white people. Men are boasting
that they broke away from all the re
straints of the past, and cast their
ballots openly and advisedly for Re
publicans. Hundreds and thousands
voted for an Independent, claiming
that they were fully justified by the
conduct of the dominant faction, and
that they acted in this manner as a
rebuke to the leaders of that faction.
White men were aiding and abetting
the negroes in trying to defeat the i
regular nominee of the Democracy,
and some went so far as to confer
1 with negro leaders in order to obtain
b their support for an Independent.
b On the other hand, it is freely
charged that the commissioners and
managers of election stuffed ballot
boxes, falsified returns and counted
out the opposition in many places.
The daily newspapers have teemed
3 with such charges every day, while
Dr. Pope and his friends are prepar
t ing to make a contest, which will in
tensify the troubles already existing
and widen the breach already made.
The vote on the constitutional con
vention is very close, and it is alleged
that orders were issued from the
leaders of the Reform faction to
manipulate the returns so that a ma
jority would be secured for the con
vention, whether or not the votes
counted out that way.
This state of affairs is truly lament
e able, and presages greater trouble in
the future. The charges of fraud
will not be sustained in many in
a stances, but there is no doubt that
a gross irregularities have occurred in
r the recent election, as indeed they
are always occurring where the laws
are not stringent and carefully guard
ed. It is doubtful whether a strictly
7 legal election has been held in South
r Carolina since the war., if mere irreg
I ularities are to count against it, and
since the passage of the registration
law it has been easy enough to find
fault with the registration of voters
or the manner of holding elections.
So long as those irregularities did
i not effect white men, there was an
indifference in the public mind as to
the result, but with the recent divis
ions and dissentions a different feel
3 ing has arisen in regard to the mat
3 ter.
e The Legislature should provide at
7 once for ballot reform in South Coro
r lina. We have reached that point
when it is necessary that a strict and
7 uniform law shall be enacted, which
L would guarantee fairness and justice,
a and for the violation of which an ad
f equate punishment will be meted
out. It is entirely feasible to frame
a law which will guarantee to the
a voter that his ballot shall be counted
just as it was east, and to take away
s from partisan or factional managers
E the opportunity of annulling the
wish of the voter. The gravity of
' the situation to-day in South Caroli
na is made more serious by the con
a victin in the minds of many that
the election returns do not represent
the popular will. All hope of white
unity will be destroyed forever unless
measures are devised in a short time
for the restoration of good feeling.
The Legislature can do much in every
1 way to allay the existing dissensions
among the white people, but in no
particular can they make a greater
stride than by passing an election
r law which will give assurance of fair
r and honorable conduct in future
s elections. But this is not the only
3 thing to be done at this juncture,
r when the tension is so great that the
bonds of unity are snapping on every
i side.
, The opportunity for bringing
; about a better state of affairs lies
. just before us. The constitutional
convention has been called by a
Bsmall majority on the face of the re
a turns, and it is going to be held. The
B election of delegates to that conven
e tion will naturally arouse much in
e terest among the people. This means
,an irrevocable division in our State,
~adeeyinterest is going to suffer
Sfrom such madness and folly. Some
thing must be done at the start to
e heal the breaches already made, or
. else the gap will widen without much
Sdifficulty. In our judgment, the in
sitiative must be taken by the leaders
r of the Reform faction, because they
B are supposed to represent a majority
2 of the white people.
SThe election of delegates to the
constitutional convention furnishes
the test as to whether reconciliation
Swill take place, and the Reformers
a have tt in their power to show un
t mistakably that they do not wish to
e ostracise and punish their white
brethren. Will they do it? Can
'they rise superior toa factional spirit,
" and lead the way for the choice of
B solid, substantial, intellIgent, far
7 seeing and patriotic men who are to
t constitute the mainstay of our peo
Sple in a great emergency ? The rank
Sand file of the Reformers are ready
3 to follow their leaders in a move
Sment which will surely obliterate
. much of the past estrangement, and
they will vote for men who can best
serve the State in the capacity of
delegates unless they are stirred by
passion and prejudice. Are these
Ileaders equal to the task before them ?
2 Upon their answer will depend the
weal or woe of South Carolina for a
generation.-Greenville Mountaineer.

A Lesson.
SThe vote for Dr. Pope, the Inde
pendent Reform candidate for Gov
ernor against John Gary Evans, the
2 regular nominee of the Democratic
Sparty, furnishes another proof that
Abbeville is not a fruitful field in
:which Independents may flourish.
rA large majority of our people par
t ticipated in the primaries, and, as a
Srule, they felt bound not to vote
Sagainst the nominee of the party.
SBut aside from the party obligations
Sto support the nominees of the party,
-our people, on a dead level, could
jnot support Dr. Pope. This is large
jly a prohibition county-having cast
about eighty per cent of her votes
jthat way-as a consequence, recognmz
ing the advantages of the dispensary
system of dealing with liquor, would
vote against Dr. Pope, for the simple
Sreason that he would exert his in
fluence for the repeal of the best
fliquor law ever put on the Statute
books.-Abbeville Press and Bann er.
The angmnan's Stone.
-There is a large bowider lying in a
field near Foremark, England, which
is known throughout Derbyshire as
"hangman's stone." The exposed
- portion of the bowlder rises about six
e feet above the surface of the sur
' rounding field and has a narrow
I ditch or- indentation rnnng across
' the top. The mark, so tradition says,
- was made in this way: A sheepthief,
3 in the dead of night, while leang
tagainst the bowider to rest, placed
b his booty above on the fiat surface
t of the stone. The man had the sheep
tied with arope, and in its effort to
escape the creature slipped onth
opposite side, and the rope, catchtig
under the thief's chin, choked him t
tdeath. The indentation in the rock'
was made by the friction of the rope
while the dying man was engagedin

Squeaing For Justie.
A few mornings ago, shortly after
the adjournment of the Jefferson
market court, a man came in and
wanted a warrant.
"You can't get it now," explained
one of the officers. "The judge is
gone for the day."
"Where can I find himI"
"You'll have to wait until tomor
row morning to transact any busi
ness of that sort."
"Wait until tomorrow!" he ex
claimed, wiping the perspiration
from his forehead and gazing at the
empty bench as if he'd like to jump
aboard of it and issue the warrant
himself.
"There ain't no use of getting ex
cited," continued the officer. "You

And nobody ain't going to burn your

Two Mammoth Tree.
We find in our National park in
upper California two mammoths of
the vegetable kingdom, the redwood
(Sequoia sempervirens) and Welling
tonia (Sequoia gigantea). A perfect
specimen of the latter was found to
be 327 feet high and 90 feet in girth
at the base, while one that was bro
ken off at an elevation of 300 feet
from the ground was found to meas
ure 55 feet at the point of fracture
and 112 feet at the base. This free
in the fullness of its growth could not
have been less than 450 feet tall.
Some scientists have estimated its
age at 3,000 years, but an actual
count of its concentric rings reduced
this estimate somewhat. The soil of
that portion of our continent is vol
canic, and the seed of those mam
moth conifers must have germinated
when the upper stratum was hot.
This was atime far back in the his
tory of the earth, when the Rocky

Ye Ancient Civility.
The "Rule of Civility," published
in 1657, is not without interest, as the
following quotations show:
"It is nndsome among ladies,
or in any other serious company, to
throw off one's coat, to pull off one's
peruke, to clean one's nails, to tie
one's garter, to change one's shoes If
they pinch, to call for one's slippers
to be at ease, to sing between the
teeth or to drum with one's fingers.
It is too juvenile and light when in
the company of ladies to play with
them, toss or tumble them, to force
away their hoods, fans or cuffs.
"In eating," the writer cautions his
readers. "observe that your hands
be clean. Dip not your fingers in the
foods nor lick them when you have
done eating. If you have occasion
to sneeze or cough, hold your napkin
before your face. Drink not with
your mouth full nor unwiped, nor

After years of experience in the mercantile business, I have never seen
goods as cheap as they are to-day. The tariff has
Knocked the Bottom out of PriCsS,
and although cotton is bringing a small price, I am enabled to sell goods at
equally low figures.

Iasole dealer for the celebrated
James Means' Shoes,
And also handle Ladies Shoes that every pair can be guaranteed.
My store is divided into various departments, and each department is
well equipped with polite salesmen who will take pleasure in showing the
people through my establishment. I can beat the State in
for either men or boys, and I can sell Boys' Knee Pants for less money than
it takes to buy the cloth.
A cordial invitation is extended to the entire community to come and
take odvantage of the low prices I am offering. Your attention is also in
