WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 28, 1895.
(overnor Evans Should Preside.
The Constitutional convention,
which convenes in the house of rep
resentatives at the city of Columbia,
September 10, 1895, 12 o'clock noon,
will be the most important assem
blage of men seen together in South
Carolina during the past generation
and will not be forgotten by the im
mediate future one.
Much of the best talent of the
State of all occupations will be in
that convention, including State and
United States officials
Among the distinguished men in
thisbody is quite an array of "master
buildere," possessed of parliament
ary skill, experience and superb exec
utive abilities as presiding oz2eers
over deliberative bodies; mentioned
by their admiring friends and the
different newspapers as the best man
for president of this convention are
United States Senators Tillman and
Irby, Speaker Jones, and Messrs.
Talbert and Sheppard.
Tillman is a man of extraordinary
abilities and Irby made one of the
best and most brilliant speakers the
house of representatives of South
Carolina has ever had.
Speaker Jones, than whom there
is no better, brighter and fairer pre
siding officer known to parliament
ary bodies, and ex-Speaker and ex
Governor Sheppard, whose abilities
and reputation are known through
out the United States-either of
these gentlemen would make a first
class president.
Congresman Talbert, the best of
roughand-tumble fighter in this
State and in the -Congress of the
United States, and one of the best
presiding officers for a political con
vention known to us, would make a
president worthy of the convention.
This is quite an array of talent, but
tere comes yet another, whose
abilities are fully known and recog
nized-Governlor John Gary Evans.
~Governor Evans is a member of this
convention and-to say nothing of
his position as Governor of South
Carolina - possesses the experience
land requisite abilities for this dis
tinguished position.
No governor in the past history of
the State has been a member of such
a convention and not made president
of. the same. There are now no valid
reasons why this precedent should
not be followed and Governor Evans
not recognized as the chief executive
of the State by this convention.
As we understand the temper and
expressions from different parts of
the State by the delegates elected to
this convention, there will not de
velop any material opposition to
thus recognizing this time-honored
precedent and conferring this great
honor upon the Governor of the
State.
Governor Evans should be made
president of the Constitutional con
vention, and his high position should
make him the unanimous choice of
the members. By making him presi
dent of the convention, it shows to
the people abroad the high regard
South Carolinians have for their
chief executive.
No man did more to bring the pop
ular mind round to the necessities of
a new constitution ; no member of
that convention better understands
the needs and necessities for changes
in the present constitution than
Governor Evans, and none will make
a better presiding officer of that con
vention.
Governor Evr.nis for president of
the Constitutional convention.

The following is taken from the
Columbia Register of last Thursday:
"The Register congratulates the
Democrats of Clarendon county up
on the magnificent showing mab by
them in Tuesday's election. N o
county in the State made a better.
The white vote of Clarendon is not
large, but it was practically all
polled. In the Tillman-Sheppard
primary in 1892-when the highways
and byways were searched and the
lame and halt and blind were urged
t the polls to vote-1,541 ballots
were east in Clarendon county; Tues
day, when no great efforts were put
forth, 1,485 votes were polled-only
10 less than in 1892. The Demo
crtic candidates were all Reformers,
but the Conservatives almost with
out exception went to the polls and
voted for them, as they were op
posed by a negro Republican ticket.
There is little or no bitterness be
tween the factions in Clarendon
county. They settle their disputes
inside the Democratic party, and
then join hands to carry out the will
of the majority."
Hector D. Lane, commissioncr of
agriculture of Alabama, has just

The Devil Rebukes Sin.
The people of Darlington are making a
strong fight for fair elections. The reports
show that the greatest frauds were perpe
trated at the recent election in the town of
>arlington. and the conduct of Mr. W. F.
Dargan in seeking the punishment of
those who were guilty of the outrage is de
serving of the greatest praise.-News and
Courier.
The above paragraph is about as
cheeky a thing as we have read in a
long time. The idea of the town of
Darlington asking for fair elections
is one of the absurdities of the sea
son. But why is this sudden desire
to be fair? Is it because two of her
prominent citizens ran on the Re
publican ticket in the recent elee
tion and were most ignominiously
and deservedly defeated ? Or is it
because the little negro girl-preacher
has done some good work in that
Sodom, and that hereafter those who
formerly were the strong allies of
the rum-shoes and gambling-hells
are now going to put on the long
white robes of purity and golden
slippers preparatory to climbing the
golden stairs ?
Clarendon's Delegation.
Clarendon's delegation to the Con
stitutional convention are all farmers
and men who will represent their
county with honor. They all belong
to the same faction, but their fac
tional politics will be laid aside on
entering the convention hall.
We are satisfied that Messrs. Brad
ham, Cantey, Kennedy and Sprott
will disapprove of doing anything
extreme, but that they will work for
the bettering of the present condi
tion of things. .
Clarendon has not sent any gas
balloons to the convention, but she
has sent four good, safe, sound and
sensible workers.
If our representatives do their
duty, and we feel assured they will,
the public free schools will take on
new life after the next session of the
Legislature. The taxes collected
from the property of white men will
give the white children nine months
free tuition without increasing the
tax levy one dollar. To accomplish
this much-desired result the schools
must be put under first-class business
management. The trustees must be
business men, and with a deep inter
est in the welfare of the pupils.
Wonder if A. B. Williams has
combed all the carrots out of his
hair; the poor fellow was so severely
ducked in the consomme.
Sergeant Morehead of the Colum
bia police, who assisted in raiding
the Columbia Club recently, has
been suspended. If Columbia is not
put under the metropolitan school
system Governor Evans will just
have to back down, and this we are
sure he will not do; he is not built
that way.
It is a pity that so good a man as
Judge W. H. Wallace allowed his
name used to run as an Independent,
but, like all Independents, a similar
fate awaited him. He, and Williams
of Greenville, Woodard of Fairfield
and Cannon of Darlington should
put on bathing suits and hoist their
umbrellas before they run as Inde.
pendents again.
If Dr. I. M. Woods, who was de
feated in the recent primary, had
voted in the general election, it
would have increased the majority
for the white men of Clarendon
county one more vote and it would
have cut down the number who did
not vote to 105. The doctor certainly
forgot that he filed a pledge to abide
by and support the nominees of the
prmary.
The Constitutional convention can
do agreat deal of good if the mem
bers of that body have the interests
of the people at heart. One of our
greatest needs is good schools that
can be reached by the masses, and
another is good roads, so that our
farmers can haul their produce to
market. Good schools and good
roads make up a progressive and in
telligent community, and where
these things are had, intelligence,
business and piety flourishes.
An exchange says that the policy of
England towards Ireland, India, and
the United States is the same. She
makes the people dependent by mak
ing them poor. It is the financial
and industrial policy of England to
ward Ireland which has prevented
any serious opposition to English
rule. The poverty of England is the
safety of Great Britain. The pover
ty of India is all that perpetuates
English rule in the Orient. The
shrinking fortunes of American free
men under the blighting and wither
ing effects of gold contraction en
larges the power of creditor England
while it impoverishes the wealth pro
ducers of America. Mr. Gladstone's
"Eonomical Fabric" of foreign in
debtedness "unknown ini all the his
tory of the world" is an object lesson
showing where the wealth of Ameri
ca has gone and is going.

Washington (D. C.) Silver Knight.
The hypocritical pretense of the golilites
that they are bimetallists, but want bi
metallism secured by an international von
ference has been a cover for more rea
wickedness and rascality than any devic
of hypocrisy invented by the Evil One
since Milton wrote "Paradise Lost." It is
true, Milton conceived many cnuning de
vices of the devil to delude mankind, but
the death of Milton bef ore the hypocrites
invented the scheme of deceiving the
American people by the device of an inter
national conference, has depaived the
world of a full description of Lhat hypo
critical device for the want of Milton to
describe it.
England, which is Europe, demonetized
silver in 1816, and labored from that time
until 1893 to finally consummate the work
by the suspension of coinage in India and
the repeal of the Sherman act.
During the twenty years preceding 1893
the golditas, who were helping England,
consummated the work of establishing the
gold standard in her financial dependen
cies, the United States and continental
Europe. under pretense of an international
conference, with England in the lead.
Three times during that period the
United States solinited and obtained s. ch
a conference, and three times the repre
sentatives of England, at the conference so
held, terminated the proceedings by in
forming the delegates of the United States
that the remonetization of silver could
under no circumstances be con.idercd.
In February, 1893, Mr. Gladstone, ini
commenting upon a resolution introduced
in parliament looking to the reasseniblage
of the Brussels conference, ridiculed the
idea of bimetallism in the most scating
and sarcastic lanuage. He stated that the
world outside of the United Kingdom was
in debt to the United Kingdom of Great
Britain more than ten thousand million
dollars, and that it would be extreme folly
to allow the payment of such a vast sum
in anything but gold ;^e declared that
it would be a gracious gift to the world
outside of the United Kingdom-wlhich
would be willingly received, but which
would not increase the respect of the
outside world for the sagacity of the Brit
ish statesman.
It is true that the distress of the masses
has created a strong party both in England
and Germany in favor of making a large
use of silver, but the bimetallists of those
countries have hesitated to even suggest
the possibility of the coinage of the two
metals upon equal terms, at the ratio of
of 16 to 1, or 154 to 1, or any other namned
ratio.
The money powers of Europe-which
have governed for almost acentury-are
united in favor of the gold standard, and
there is no hope of overthrowing that
wer. The most that the silver men of
~urope can anticipate would be a larger
use of silver as a token bubsidiary coin.
This would do no good ; it would not in
crease the volume of btandard money
upon which the circulation and credit of
the commercial world must depend. A
larger use of paper money redeenlable in
gold would answer the same punrpose.
The fixed gold obligations of the United
tates to Europe aggregate about five hun
dred millions, viz.--one hundred and fity
millions for carrying trade ; one hundred
millions for excursionists abroad, and two
hundred and fifty millions for interests
and dividends on foreign investmeints.
These obligations secore for Europe at
gold prices more than the United States
can realize by the sale. of produce in
foreign markets, after paying for imports.
The national deb't has been increased one
hundred and sixty-two millions in the last
two years to meet the government's part of
the deficiency. How much has been bor
rowed by corporations for the same pur
pose during that period is not known, but
it is very large.
It is not reasonable to suppose that
Europe will surrender the advantage she
holds in making this country a tributary
of the world by renmonetizing silver, which
would mean the liberation of the Amneri
can people. They know that if the United
States were allowed to coin money instead
of borrowing it from Europe that we would
be able to pay our debts and liberate our
selves from vassalage to the Old World. In,
the language of the royal commission it
would endanger the commercial supremacy
of England, which means it would liberate
America.
When did England voluntarily consent
to the freedom and independence of the
United States? and is it reasonable to sup
pose that she will ever consent to our
financial independence by joining in a
onference for the remonetization of

THE SILVER MEN
o Try and Regain American Lib
erty in 1896.
Washington (D. C.) Silver Knight.
The silver men in the two old parties
hve in the past been the most efficient
workers in the cause of gold monopoly.
The goldites have controlled the National
Conventions of both parties, and the silver
itos have led the silver forces and ratified
the goldite platform and nominees. As
long as the silverites5 of the two old parties
wll continue to ratify the action of goldite
National Conventions the Rothschilds gold
combination will continue to zule the coun
hedis a movement of these silverites
in the Deiyjocratic party to capture the
National Convention in 1898. It is the
most pronounced and 'rigorous movement
of the kind which has taken place since the
crime of 1873. If it should succeed in
nominating a man with an unquestioned
silver record, on a platform of 16 to 1 b~y
the Unied States alone, the Democracy
ww:Ld be victorious in 1896. and American
lierty would be regained. But if the free
siver men fail, what then ? Will they join
the gold forces against their country and
fight in the ranks of the enemies of civili
--tionbecaus the onsolidated, banks and
money changers of Europe and Americe,
with the press and railroads at their com
mand, have been able to again pack a Na
tional Democratic Convention and misrep.

We sincerely hope our good friends will
succeed in that convention in 1896. But
we warn all true lovers of liberty that the
struggle in the Democrutic Conventi-n of
'9G will be, to say the least, doubtful. Is it
safe to make the cause of silver dependeit
upon the action of a party w hich has been
for many years subject to the will of an
alien gold trust? Honest Democrats had

CROPS AND BUSINESS PROS
PECTS.
Our Farmers Have Learned a Lesson
in Economy.
As an illustration showing how
much expense our farmers saved this
year in making their crops we took
up the article of commercial fertil
izers and asked one of our leading
merchants how much guano he had
advanced this year. His reply was:
"Five hundred dollars."
"How much did you advance in
former years *"
"I used to pay out on the first of
every September and October $5000,"
he said.
"Well, how do you account for the
decrease ?"
"Well," said he, "in the first place
the stringency of the times kept the
merchants from advancing and the
farmer was unable to get what he
wanted. The result was that he did
-like the fellow over the river-the
best he could. He went to work
economizing and working hard,
which taught him that necessity is
the mother of invention and that
where there's a will there's a way.
In the second place the low- price
received for produce made him learn
that he wouldhave to depend upon
his own resources more than he had
in the past, and finally, his labors
have been blessed with a bountiful
crop of provisions, which should
make him feel easy. His cotton crop
is much better than that of his fel
low-farmers in other States. If the
reports are true I do not see why he
should not gt a good price this
year."
"Do you think trade will be better
this year than last ?"
"Why, certainly I do. For the past
few years it took everything a farmer
could scrape to keep the sheriff off
of him, and he could not buy any
thing except such things as nature
demanded to keep body and soul to
gether. This year, however, his in
debtedness is small ; no guano notes
to pay, small store accounts, and
what he gets for his produce will be
in clean cash. He will once more
feel that he is a free man. I venture
to.say that go to any public gather
ing or church service between now
and Christmas, you will observe
the better condition in the bright
faces of our honest farmers and in
the new clothes of their sons and
daughters; their horses will be
dressed in new harness, and they
will drive out again in new turnouts.
There will be a general exhibit of
prosperity all along the line, and the
merchant who is wide awake, prop
erly advertises his business and.. of
fers inducements to the people'wiill
get the trade. This, I predict, will
be the jubilee year aor farmer and
merchant."
Not one complaint h .s ever been miade
by those using Ayer's .xrsaparilla accord
ing to directions. Fuithermore we have
yet to larn of a ease in~ which it has failed
to afbord benefit. So say hutndreds of

FOUR ARE LYNCHED
The Californians Got Rid of Vio
lators by Wholesale.
A SHAM FIGHT DELUDES THE OFFICERS
The Mob Then Quiety Gets Into the JaiL
Brakes Locks, andi Four Prisoners
are Taken Out, One at the
Time. and Put Away.
YREKA, Cal, Aug. 7.-About one
o'clock yesterday inorning, a crowd of
two hundred and fifty men gathered
here to lynch the f.our murderers in
the county jail. So quietly were their
preparations made thut the sheriff had
no intimation of the coming. Small
groups from all over Sisdkiyou county
began to arrive on the outskirts of the
town about 9 o'clock last night. At one
o'clock the crowd having gathered they
secured an old rail at the depot and car
ried it to the court house square, plac
ing it between two trees. The local
police were called away by a sham
fight. By the tiine they returned they
realized the intention of the crowd.
The chief of police went to the engine
house to ring the lire alarm bell but
found that the ropes had been cut. He
then went to the jail but the mob had
already arrived, and in such numbers
that the police were powerless. A num
ber of men, all masked. awukened un
der-Sheriff Radford at the sheriff's of
fiee in the court house and demanded
the keys of the jail from him. He pos
itively refused to open or give up the
keys. Finding that Radford was im
movable, the mob went across to the
jail and got on top of the stone wall
which surrounds it. Deputy Sheriff
Brautlacht, who sleeps in the jail fired
two shots to alarm the city marshal,
thinking soma of the prisoners were
trying to escape. He then opened the
doors and was immediately seized by
the mob who entered the jail. Having
no keys to the cells, ihey were com
pelled to smash the locks with sledge
hammers.
Lawrence 11. Johnson, who stabbed
his wife to death on July 28th, was
first to receive the attention of the
mob. They broke the lock from the
door of his cell and placing a rope
around his neck led him out of the jail
and across the street to where the iron
rail was laid between the forks of twc
trees. Johnson pleaded for mercy but
the silent gathering gave no heed tc
his appeals. He was quickly strung up,
dying from strangulation. The mob
then returned to jail and broke into
the cell of Wil-liam Null, who shot
Henry Hayton at Callahans on April
21st. Null asked to make a statement
but the mob refused to listen and he
was soon hanging beside Johnson.
Louis Moreno who killed George Sears
on the fifth instant was next taken out
and hanged. Thp last and youngest
of the four was Garland Semler, aged
19, who killed C. Moierhaus at Bailey
Hill, on the 5th instant. A rope was
placed around his neak and in a few
minutes he was swinging beside his
companions. About this time Sheriff
Holtz arrived on the scene but was met
by several of the mob who notified him
that "the job was finished." By this
time, the greater part of the mob had
disappeared, leaving only a few on
guard. Soon these departed also and
the square was soon deserted.
The bodies were taken down by Cor
oner Schofield and Marshal Parks who
removed them in a wagon to the engine
house where they were laid side by
side. The coroner summoned a jury to
hold the inquest.
REPORTS~ CORRECTED.

Wull Ofrer Bteasoable Rates.
ATLANTA, Aug. 27.-In regard to
sensational reports sent out from At

Ieepers have increased their rates, Mr.
Alex W. Smith, chief of the depart
mnent of public comfort, makes the offi
ial statement, that rates at the regu

boarding house rates will be from fifty
ents to 51.50 for lodging, and from $1
to $2.50 a day for lodging and board.
Weekly and monthly engagements can
be made at the usual reductions. No
reasonable person can complain of the

Atlanta of the plea for unreasonable or
xhorbitant charges Is entirely un
