What is the matter with Sumter 2 Both factions seem to be badly muddled and, instead of getting to gether-as a few patriotic men are trying to accomplish-they are drift ing further apart. We have watched our sister county with considerable anxiety, and regret to confess that the present condition in Sumter is the fault of the men allied with the Reform faction. 'Tis true, the rules of the Demo cratic party require a primary, and that all candidates in the primary shall file their pledges by a certain time. This is a technical require ment, but the main thing, and the spirit intended, is to have the candi dates pledged before the primary conies off. As we understand the situation, the Conservatives offered to divide with the Reformers, which proposi tion was rejected on account of ex tremists being in control of the Re form convention. Later another meeting was called by Reformers who were in favor of peace, and they, together with the Conservatives, agreed upon a divi sion and, in order to comply with the rules of the Democratic party, these gentlemen went to County Chairman Keels and asked him to accept their pledges, which he re fused to do. Under the circumstances there was no other course left open to the com promise ticket but an appeal to the people, which they have made. In our opinion Chairman Keels did wrong, and the white voters of his county will repudiate his conduct just as the voters of Georgetown did Doar in the campaign of 1892 for trying to take advantage of a techni +d ~+ lhie nnnonent. The forced fight to be had in the general election the compromise ticket will scorn to appeal to the negro vote, and that every white man who favors fair play will turn out 'and vote the ticket of the people that want peace and a reconciliation. We are in full sympathy with Sumter's compromise ticket because we feel that a grave injustice has been done them with out cause or reason. The School System. The Constitutional convention, soon to meet, will have a question before it that is more important to the people of South Carolina than all other questions will be-the free schoolg. If there is anything that needs a radical change it is our free school system, for, as it is now, it is a farce. People are taxed and forced to pay for the maintenance of the present system and get scarcely any benefit from it. The colleges are bountifully provided for, while the schools at home get such a small pittance that to close them entirely would not be felt. Why should the people be taxed to support colleges ? It seems to us that if a parent is able to spare a child from home to go to college that parent is sufficiently able to pay Richmond, Va., some time next Monday. From what we can gather out of the published proceedings the object of those seeking these injunc tions seems to be to have the election of delegates to the Constitutional convention held without any restric tions, so that the ignorant mass of negro voters can be brought into ac quisition by the treacherous scoun drels who would again put as under negro rule. The Constitutional con vention will be held, and it will be ruled by white men-regardless of the attempts of the dirty hirelings who are bought and hired to prevent A Homestead Should Protect. One of the problems for our states men to solve is the homestead, and, next to the suffrage question, it will be the most important that will come up in the Constitutional con vention. In our present condition the people would be badly crippled were the homestead exemption to be wiped out, but in the course of time it would be a blessing. If the homestead exemption was out of the way and all of a man's property responsible for his debts, great care and precaution would be taken to keep out of debt, and there would be very little display in bor rowed plumage. Men who now go into.debt and hope by speculation to pay will stand off, because that which he has may be lost to him; but when he can borrow and obstruct his creditors with the homestead, lie is not so careful and will take chances. The homestead exemption should be what it is intended for-a protec tion to the wife and children. As it is to-day it is not a protection to them, but a screen and a license to swindle. Under the present law a man buys supplies for the sustenance of his family and clothing to keep the wintry winds from their bodies; he buys the coffin to bury the dead and medicine to heal the sick; but, when the time comes to pay, he will not. He obtained the credit on his honor and property; the merchant is forced to sue, and gets a judgment; the sheriff, under his oath of office and a severe penalty, must set aside the homestead; the creditor selects a man, the debtor another, and the sheriff a third; these commissioners are from the community and possibly in the same boat, and what do they do? They usually set all of the debtor's property aside as his home stead, and the creditor gets nothing. The next day the man who has just beat his creditors and had his homestead set aside has no money to conduct his business and he goes to town, hunts up a money-lender, gives him a mortgage of the homestead which was intended as a protection for his wife and children, at an exorbitant rate of discount (and in some cases interest besides), and away he goes. It is not long before the mortgage is due. The borrower has spent the money on his crop and made a fair crop, but the prices of produce do not bring the cost of the outlay; he simply can not pay the mortgage. The result is the mortgage is foreclosed, and the wife and children are not protected, as was intended when the homestead law was made. If we are to have a homestead and we believe the present condition of the people demands it-our law makers should make the homestead beyond the reach of the greedy, merciless creditor, and when it is set aside let be a protection-which it can not be, if the party having it set aside is allowed to dispose of it ; let it become entailed property, so that it enMon b nvewtowed~p. Then. if Sne couurab can iiea? the iaLc .juo as they do now in partition cases, where minors are interested, and if a proper showing is made, orders can be given for the property to be sold and the money re-invested, or such disposition as will best subserve the interests of those whom the law sought to protect from the misfor tunes or mismanagement of heads of families. "Figgering" Their Way Out. We heard a darky say once, when he was dissatisfied with a settlement he had with his employer, that he could not understand how it was that he did not get more money for his labor. It was with him like with most darkies, he "tek out'n de com misary endurin' ob de week"; when it came to settling he fell short in his calculations. He went about grum bling, and when asked if he did not see the boss' figures he said "yes, and when dat buckra git to hell and de devil fool to true' em with pencil, swear fo' God he will figger hisself out in two minutes." Just so it is with the arguments of the "gold bugs." We see ourselves daily getting poorer, our little homes about to be taken away from us, our children depriV'ed of the things they should have, to make their young hearts light and haDDv. and in our two delegates have been instructed to vote for Coxey for the guberna torial nomination of Ohio. A man to be thus honored by his people must be something more than a crank or a tramp. Coxey's non-in Terest-bearing bonds and his good roads scheme is beginning to attract the attention of people all over the Union. Grove's Tasteless Chill Tonic is a pec fec~t M alarial Liver tonic and Blood purifier. Removes biliousness without purging. As pleasant as Lemon Syrup. It is as large us any dollar tonic and retails for 50 cents. To get the genuine ask for Grove's. Sold on its merits. No cure, no pay. For sale The people throughout this broad union are waking to the seriousness of our financial situation. On every train that is traveled passengers are reading books on the money ques tion; in every town the matter is being discussed; at every cross-road where men congregate the financial question is hammered on, and yet we have not been able to find a man who can convince us that the repeal of the Sherman silver-purchasing clause, which placed this country on a gold standard, has helped us. But the opposite is seen and realized without any argument further than the cold, thin finger of a famished hand pointing to the destruction of the values of those who toil in the broiling sun: the debt-enslaved farmers, who are anxious to relieve themselves from the coils of debt, but can not do so because the men who were entrusted to make laws for them were bought up by blood sucking enemies. The people want relief, and they will have it sooner or later. The merciless manipulator has had his day, and the people sub mitted vith wonderful patience; but that submission is about at an end, and if a change does not take place soon the shackles will be broken by force. There is more catarrh in this section of the country than all othe? diseases put to gether, and until the last few years was supposed to be incurable. For a great many years doctors pronounced it a local disease, and prescribed local remedies, and by constantly failing to cure with local treatment pronounced it incurable. Science has proven catarrh to be a constitutional disease and therefore require.s constitution al treatment. Hall's Catarrh Cure, mann factured by F. J. Cheney & Co., Toledo, Ohio, is the only constitutional cure on the market. It is taken internally in doses from 10 drops to a teaspoonful. It acts di rectly on the blood and mucous surfaces of the system. They offer one hundred dol lars for any case it fails to cure. Send for circulars and testimonialz. Address. F. J.

Thomas Dixon of the People's Church in New York city recently took a trip 6outh, and in the course of a sermon to his congregation after his return, said : "I regret that I can not give a full account of the working of the saloon system in South Carolina, as I announced on last Sunday that I would do to-day. I could speak for one hour on the subject. It is the most difficult of all problems of all to solve. I looked forward with pleasure to investigating the operation of the dispen sary system in South Carolina. The sit nation is this : "The State closed up all bar-rooms and opened instead places where all forms of liquors could be bought--from the finest to the poorest-but none of it could be consumed on the place. The officer in charge has no interest in the profits or success of the business, as he receives a salary. It was inaugurated and put into effect by the cyclone Tillman, then Gover nor, now United States Senator. It met with great opposition and the severest criticism; but anything from him would have been the same. I honestly believe that if an angel had stood on St. Michael's in Charleston and said that it was a divine to the vast majority of people. "I spent twenty-four hours in Charles ton, and went through the roughest por tions of the city until one o'clock in the moning, and never any city so quiet, ex cept Portland, Maine. and there the same conditions exist, except that the South. Carolina law is a poor edition of the Maine law, where liquor is only sold by prescrip tion. In South Carolina it is sold to any one. The revenue feature of the dispen sary law is its worst feature. I never saw a an or woman in the city under the in fluence of liquor. "I spent the Fourth of July in a city of 8000 in South Carolina, where half the pop ulation is colored, and not an arrest was made for drunkenness or disorderly con duct. I did not see one person the slight eat ninder the influence of liquor. "They drink yet in South Carolina. of course ; but, as you lesseni the temptation you lessen drunkenness. (Cheers.) They have eight dispensaries in Charleston now instead of 300 bar-rooms, and instead of all the attractions of a first-class bar-room they present nothing more attractive to the passer-by than the plainest hardwaie store where you buy ten-penny nails and mon key wrenches. (Cheers.) Oh, no ! No one ever thinks of going to a dispensary on account of its attractiveness. You see only the shelves with the goods stacked away on them and a plain bulletin board against the wall giving in detail the latest price on the goods. "The blind tigers are running, and just as it always was; any fool that wants to get drunk can get drunk without going to the dispensary-can get drunk at any time. (Cheers.) "I believe that South Carolina, with her impulsiveness and her disposition to lead, has given to the world the solution of the iquor problem, aud that it could be ex tended to the other forty odd States w'ith tAni4~~ ,T-- tion." - , 0 TAKE. , ,July 15, 1895.-The -ere sent for one trade Pills and ten cents in etty.

WASUINGToN, July 30.-The Chika'* mauga Park commission has received notice of the contemplated attendance of twenty governors of states with their staffs at the dedication of the park September 18, 19, and 20. Most of these will be accompanied, besides, by the leading elective officers of the state governments and representatives of the legislatures. The state commis missioners of 26 states are also expect ed. The twenty governors concerning which this information has been re ceived. are of Massachusetts, Rhode Is land, Connecticut. Vermont,New York. Pennsylvania, Ohio, Michigan, Wiscon sin, Illinois, Minnesota, Indiana, Mis souri, Kansas, Mississippi, Louisiana, Alabama, Georgia, Tennessee and South Carolina. Dana Davenport, a divinity student in charge of an Episcopal chapel at Harrisonville. Baltimore county, Mary land, mysteriously disappeared July 10, and the most vigilant search since that time has failed to discover a clue to his whereabouts or fate. He went to Bal timore on that date, made a social call and there all trace of him was lost. Mr. Davenport, if living, is23 years old. He is the son of Rev. M. Davenport. of Anacosta, D. C., who yesterday notified the chief of police of every large city of the country, senditg a photograph and description of his son. Prof. Moore, chief of the weather bureau, has issued a new order to of ficials of the service, impressing upon them the importance of giving special attention to those agricultural, com mercial and other property interests in their localities that are to be injurious ly affected by unusually severe weath er conditions, such as cold waves, frosts, heavy rains, or snows, violent wind storms, etc., to the end that those interests may be protected by timely warning of the expected occurrence of the conditions mentioned. The object is to bring the service up to the degree of efficiency where it shall not only predict the weather, but afford some practical results to the commercial and agricultural interests by letting them know of critical changes in time to pro tect property. More news of the distressed negro colonists from Georgia and Alabama, who deserted their Mexican Eldorado has been received at the State Depart ment in a telegram from Jesse W. Sparks, United States consul at Piedras Negras. Mr. Sparks says that 46 ne groes are quarantined at Eagle Pass by the Texas authorities. They were brought across the Rio Grande by Mr. Sparks on Friday night. Twenty-five are ill with small-pox at Torren, eight seriously. The local authorities at Tocrean announced that they could no longer maintain the negroes, and Mr. Sparks says all the well ones, number ing 150, would arrive at Piedras Negras yesterday. He intended to send rations to the sick who remained. Mr. Sparks calls attention to the praiseworthy con duct of Mr. L. M. Johnson, the general manager of the Central Railroad, who is feeding the negroes in Mexico at his own expense. Mr. Sparks adds that everythinir was moving smoothly for day and Monday, the treasury gained almost all the gold it had lost during the past two weeks, the increase since Saturday being $1,69,868. Tlhis sudden accummulation of gold attracted con siderable attention and it was supposed that it was due to some action on the part of the bond syndicate. Secretary Curtis, however, said that this was not true, so far as the treasury was advised. Tile increase, he said, came almost in the ordinary course of business and was due to an exchange of gold for bills, probably caused by the settlement of accounts in New York. The Incident was, he said, not infrequent. The re serve today amounted to $107,321,670. FOUR COWS KILLED And fune Others of the Kammali Were Wouaded. AUors'rA, Ga., July 30.-A train on the Port Royal and Western Carolina Railroad ran into a herd of milch cows up near the Isaetta mill yesterday and' four of the animal were killed outright. Nine others were hit and more or less injured by the violent contact with the engine. It was an unavoidable accident, as the train was rounding a curve. at a good rate of speed, just as the small boys who were driving the animals home brought them to the track. Many injured at a Negro Bilot. CoLLI~sVILLE, Ala., July 30.-A riot tookc place at a negro pie nic near Ed ward's bridge, in which about fifty men and women took part, and all kinds of weapons were used. One negro was badly cut about the shoulder and arm with a razor; two others re eived heavy blows on the head with sticks, which knocked them senseless, and one of them is thought to be fatal ly injured. It is feared that the trou le Is not y-et ended. The Naval Reserves Leave for DrilL. CuantEs-roN, S. C., July 30.-The [nited States wanr ship.
