THE MAlThIDTG TDMES. LOUIS APPELT, Editor. Wednesday, January 2, 1895. The year 1895 is now being en tered into, and all of us should re solve to makE this year surpass any of the past. Let us all feel that we are here breathing the same atmos phere, depending on each other to make life a pleasure, and work for the brightning of our future pros pects. We will be called upon be fore long to select men to represent us in a convention that is to change our constitution, and every voter should seriously take this matter into his mind and consider well before he casts his vote. He should select his representatives on their merits and not be influenced by the hurrahs of politicians. We want the constitution changed so that our people can get better school facilities where their children can at least get a primary 6ducation at home: We also want the consti tution changed whereby the State Government can be run with less ex pense in order that the now tax burdened people can get some relief, and to get the desired changes the people must steer clear of politicians and look about for men that have no political friends to reward or foes to punish. The constitutional conven tion should be composed of good practical business men, without such there is great danger of bringing about ruin instead of good. A convention to change a constitu tion is far different from a political caucus or convention. One is for the betterment of the people for many years to come and the other is for the advancement of a few individ uals for a short period. It therefore behooves every voter to think well before he acts. The acts of a politi cal convention may be overthrown at an election following it, but the acts of a constitutional convention may stand for generations. When the time comes to select our represen tatives let us all make our selection with a view to bettering our present condition and this we can do if we will not allow factional prejudice to interfere. The Times has battled as had for the Reform faction as any newq! aper in the State, and it still cheriihes its principles, but at the same time we are willing to concede that in the conservative faction there are men who have the welfare of the State at heart and are willing to join in to help work for the good of the masses. The Lexow committee has suc eeeded in exposing the corruption of the New York city police force, and now another committee should go to work and expose the corruption of the Lexow committee. The Governor of South Carolina has been given the power to estab ummjha Metropolitan police in the ~ad cities throughiout the State. ~'~ther or not the giving of this power will result to the benefit of the cities and towns remains to be seen. If a city makes honest efforts to enforce the dispensary law they will be in no danger of having the -Metropolitan police measure thrust upon them, but if they are going to Kallow the law to be violated as they have done in the past, the governor will have the law enforced with the power given him. We hope that governor Evans will not find it necessary to take the police control from the cities and towns, because we do not think that the establishing of police other than by the municipalities will have a tendency to bring about the har mony so much desired. -They're After Keoster. It is rumored that a committee representing the extreme wing of the Reform faction have demanded the removal of Editor Keoster of the Co lumbia Register upon the ground that his editorial utterances are too iild to suit the exremists. If this is -true then the sooner the people take up the cudgel and beat out of the Re form ranks men who desire an editor to be a fire band, the better it will be for the Reform faction. Editor Keoster has stood up manfully for thie Reform movement, at the same time he has not allowed himself dic tated to by a few hungry office-seek ers, whose only hope of continuing in office is to have the people in con stant turmoil and strife. The conser vative course adopted by euch editors as Keoster is not only the proper .course, but the only one that will make the Reform ranks hold together. The day for exciting the masses has passed and now, what the people want is the discussion of meures and not men. We believe the people are thoroughly satisfied that extreme ut terances are doing harm and-thae desjenwn paper~ish public men make an effort to restore a kind er feeling than has been existing the past four years. We hope the Register will continue on in its conservative course and long after the men who are trying to have Keoster removed are forgotton, the the Register and its editor will be enjoying the respect and confidence of the people. Theodore S. Gaillard Dead. Theodore S. Gaillard, ex-chief State con stable, died in Charleston Christmas day and was buried at St. Stephen's. Mr. Gail lard was known to many of the members of the gallant old 23rd regiment having served with that regiment during a portion of the war. His death will come as a surprise to many who knew him, but he had been in ill-health for some time. He was the first chief constable under the Dispensary re gime. and though not at Darlington during thie riot, he was with the constables in the swamps a day after, remaining with them until the trouble was at an end. After the decision of the Supreme Court c:osing the dispensaries he was appointed~ a trial justice at Charleston, which posi tion he filled at the time of his death, hav ing only recently been reappointed by Gov ernor Evans. The only way to cure catarrh is to purify the blood. Hood's Sarsaparilla purifies the blood and thus cnres the disease. Silver News. SUyRn Dec. 31.-Dear Times:-As you have not heard from us in some time we will give you a few dots from Silver, although news is scarce and times are hard, though I suppose you are aware of that fact. Christmas passed off like Sunday here. People are getting ready for an other crop, but Mr. Editor, we don't see any use in planting cotton at five cents per pound. But what are we to do if we don't plant it? The mer chant won't advance to us, so we have it to do in self-defence. Miss Annie Thompson, who has been visiting her sister, Mrs. 11. M. Mims, has returned to Elloree. Dr. Salley spent Christmas in Or angeburg with relatives, and has re turned to his post of duty. But, Mr. Editor, he will go to Manning every week if it snows. Master Lee Thames continues to improve slowly. The Silver Sunday-school will have a Christmas tree to-morrow night. F. A. M. P. S.-The People's paper, The Times, is in the lead up here. Dr. shields, an eminent physician of Tennessee, says: " regard Ayer's Sarsapa rilla as the best blood-medicine on earth, and I know of many wonderful cures ef fected by its use." Physiciaus all over the land have made similar statements. SENATOR BUTLER'S FAREWELL Closes His Political Career With a Din ner to His Colleagues. Washington, Dec. 19.-Senator Butler of South Carolina, whose Sen atorial career is rapidly coming to a close, gave a farewell dinner to a number of his colleagues at the Country Club to-night. Socially, Mr. Butler will be a great loss. He is very popular in the Senate, and is the most cultured member of that body hailing from the South. But ler apparently is without political prospects, and a- he is comparative ly poor there seems nothing for him but return to South Carolina and vegetate. With the Tillmanites in the ascendancy there is no chance for him at home. Butler has been a strong ant i-Cleveland man, so he cannot expect to be taken care of by the administration. It would be a nice thing for Cleveland to overlook the fact that Senator Butler has hon estly differed from him, and provide some dignified place for the chival rous South Carolinian. However the President is not that kind of a man. Mr. Butler might have a sbow with the Republican President if Don Cameron had any influence, as there are several places like Inter state Commissioner that have to be filled by 1Democrats. The dinner of Senator Butler was a very lovely affair, and the deep feel ing that Don Cameron displayed in a speech was said to be affecting. The remarkable friendship between Cam eron and Butler, which was referred to at to-night's dinner, was begun in rather a dramatic way. The present Butler's uncle, Pierce Butler, who was one of the leading men in the Senate in the fifties, and old Simon Cameron were great friends. Old Simon had been elected to the Senate over Col. John W. Forney, and Governor Bigley of Pennsylvania endeavored to contest Cameron's right to the seat. Pierce Butler, who liked Cameron, got up and objected to the Keystone State washing their dirty linen in the Senate, and moved that the whole subject be laid on the table, which was agreed to. Butler walked over to Cameron immediate lyafterward and said: "Simon, you ought to send me a bottle of whiskey for that stroke." "By jove," said Cameron, "I will send you a barrel," and he did, For this'good turn Don Cameron, who succeeded his father in the Senate, voted to seat the present Butler when he was contesting for a seat in the Senate. Thus the son paid the debt of his father, and the present Senator Butler received his seat by a Repub lican vote. A Letter from Mr. Ragin. Pinewcod, S. 0., Dec. 27th, 1894. Editor The Manning Times:-I am no5 often seen in public print, but do now ask space in your paper to in quire of our honorable body of Rep resentatives why they treated our neighborhood with such little respect in so utterly disregarding a petition recommending myself as the Demo cratic choice to fill the trial justice office to be established at this place, and again after rejecting my name with an overwhelming petition signed by every white man in the expected precinct, together with the endorse ment of such men as Capt. D. W. Brailsford, Messrs. J. S. Cantey, C. R. Felder, and others, as prominent men who not only know my politics but my raising and ability, and rec ommended by over one hundred of the best men of both factions. Ig noring their wishes entirely, and again after the refusing of my name by your body, another choice was made and signed by this the very people who has the office to support and like the first was laid aside as be ing not your body's choice. After our people giving up in dispair, your body selects a man and recommends his name without the consulting of a single wish of the people, and I foj one know - ""^ irtci wrettion.' So far .as I am con cerned I am perfectly satisfied and am proud of your accidental choice. He is a good man and will give satis faction to all sides and factions, but just suppose your recommendation was not the right man, what redress has a community left with a delega tion to represent their interest who by action says you are unfit to choose for yourselvesland again byignoring a second request say, I will do your thinking right or wrong and leave you no redress. Now, gentlemen, I am not sore for not being your choice, and it is an other proof that politics teaches to go back on one's political friends is true. I have always been styled at Anti but have never deviated from~ true Democracy and always voted a full ticket at the primaries, and I'm sorry only now to say I supported the present delegation who are trying to make themselves predominent and will not consult the wishes of the peo ple. Rcmemnber there was at least two Tillmanites to one Anti on my petition, and they are men of sterling qualities and who I venture to say that their recollection will live at least two years. If any of you are fishing by this act, for votes, for the constitutional convention, y o u slipped up. You may do things more rediculous and I guarantee your votes wvill show you your mistake in this neighborhood. Very respectfully submitted, Dandruff is due to an enfeebled state of the skin.

My dear Mr. MeLaurin: A little coterie of women, who with me, have watched the onward progress of Congress, towards de stroving the foundation principles of our tinancal: structure, and, violently destroying tlie inajestic sovereignty of this govcrzmnent of its inherent right to issue its money, with no toc sin of alarn sounded by the watch man on the citadels in behalf of the people, but all our lkc1presentatives apparently bowing their 'neks to the yoke of foreign boodlers, and native shy-locks, were agreeably surprised and joyously delighted this morning in reading your noble and patriotic sentiments in behalf of the govern ment. We had almost felt that there was no hope for the people, and nothing but enslavemuent fcr the masses, and that Congress ha I been sold out, body and soul to the money -changers. But your words of courage and speech in behalf of the right, has put new hopes in our hearts, and brings fresh courage to our spirits. God bless you for their utterance. May we hope for others who will rally to your standard, and be en abled to overthrow this enemy who is reaching out for our liberties and that of comiin ggenerations. Sincerely yours, Por.DE W.

FALL G S! 1894 Again do I announce to the people of Clarendon that to do busi ness in this day of business progress one must first understand what business is, and then confine himself strictly to business- priucipics, which are to study the wants of the people first; then study the mode of manufacturing the various fabrics and articles that the consnumier must have; next to ascertain the best and most reliable ianufct i ers, and only deal with such, thus insuring to the patrons Value Received for Their Money, I have this season visited the best markets, and realizing the efleet the tariff bill would have on goods, I was exceedingly cautious to get every advantage possible in order that my large patronage would se cure the benefit.
