Alabama primaries show that State to have gone for free silver over whelmingly. Doctor Samps Pope and ex-attor Dcy for the C. S. & N. Railroad Clarence S. Nettles, were big "Ikes" in the Republican convention in Co lumbia yesterday. Senator Tillman delivered a speech at the home of Carlisle and his refer ences to the secretary of the treasury was received with thundering ap plause* His audience was large and en thusiastic and the people of Kentucky showed the distinguished Carolinian marked attention. A few months ago the conservative - newspapers could not say enough mean things about Senator Irby, but now since he has expressed opposition to Tillman's ideas, they are slobbering all over him with kind expressions. This may all be good politics, but it strikes us as being rather late to un dertake to resusitate a man after the rattles has set in. We do not know who will succeed Irby, but it does not need much foresight to see that he will not succeed himnself. Under the new constitution, in or der to have the righitto vote, a man must be registered again. All of the old registration certificates are done away with and new onea in- accord ance with the new order .of -things must be secured. It therefore be -comes the duty of every reader of a newspaper to acquaint .his neighbor who does not read the papers of this very important matter and we sin cerely hope that our readers 'will take some interest in the matter and see to it that every white man is informed. The negroes are interesting them selves and we are told that their teachers and preachers have been instructed to prepare them for the necessary legal requirements to ob tain registration certificates. The constitutional convention made it possible for "white supremacy" to last forever, but the convention could not do it all, the white people them selves must do- something towards the scheme; that something is to turn out and become registered and at the elections vote. The State Democratic executive committee did the proper thing, when iii declined to usurp the au thority of the May convention. They had nothing what ever to do with the differences exist ing between Senator Irby and Sena tor Tillman, and by not recognizing either one of these distinguished gentlementhey showed to the people a higher appreciation of the trust re posed in them than they would have shown had they allowed themselves to be swerved by either. 'The May convention will meet and it will then nay what the people want; should either Tillman or Irby become dis satisfied they can get out of the way and others will be found who are ready to take up the people's cause. -The day for leaders running things to suit themselves has become ancient history; the people are in the saddle and they propose to stay there. When the convention assembles, delegates will be sent to Chicago to give voice to wbat the majority feel in South Carolina, and we believe a delegation will be selected who can go without being tied and shackled with instructions All this solicitude for the Demo cratic party that is now being in dulged in by Senator Irby, is nothing but the beating of gongs to keep his courage up. He is a candidate for re-election, and he stands a first-class cance of being defeated, therefore, he must catch at something to stir the people. The name of Democracy is cherished in South Carolina and the people would not drop it unless forced to do so; but while the people love the Democracy, they love Demo cratic principles more than the name, and if the organization now called Democratic allows itself to be con trolled by Republicans masquerad ing in.Democratic garments there will be a 'division. The two elem ents will not live in peace in the same temple, and no man knows this better than Senator Irby himself. Did not the Senator when he believed himself safe from opposition give expression to utteranceS more emphatic than the goprepared-to-boltletter of Senator Tilman? On one occasion in discussing the the financial question, he said: "I make it with reluctance and deep re gret, and would gladly avoid the responsi bility of taking this position, but I behieve ita olemn dut.yto the producers of this matin, in every State and especially to the noble, patriotic, and liberty-loving peiple of South Carolina, to raise the hand of warning and place those who seem intoxi cated with power, upon positive notice that if they ruthlessly and by the aid of Repub lican votes, over-ride our wishes in this, the most important of all the questions of public policy, I for one will not follow their lead another step." Now the Senator without giving any reason would have the people of this State tied hand and foot with in structions to the national convention, and although he gave positive notice that he would not follow the lead of men who are over-riding the wishes of the people, he faces about at this time,and tells them they must pledge themselves to swallow anything the national convention chooses to give them. Senator Irby's doctrine may be good, but it comes from him with considerable inconsistancy. If when he felt safe in his position he could not follow the lead of the over-riders, how can he do so now? The Senator has a great many warm friends throughout the State, and he merits them for his excellent management of our political affairs. but the people have amply repaid him for his services, and his present gymnastics in our opinion is nothing but a little side-show to draw the votes of the conservative faction to him. He believing that on account the bitterness of the past the conser vative faction would support any body to side-track Tillman, but the faction he is now courting remember Irby's connection with past bitterness and they accredit him with a full share of the responsibility of it. Senator Irby cannot by his abuse of Tillman tickle the conservative ear sufficiently to win their votes nor can he be re-elected with his hip-hip hurrah-for-Democracy tactics, and if he goes before the people and does not show a better record as a repre sentative than he has been credited with in the Congressional Record his name is Mud. Senator Tillman is now making a tour of the West. This trip is by invitation from a large number of people who are anxious to be relieved from their present political moorings, and the whole country is now watch ing and waiting to see the effect. The politicians have so beclouded the financial problem, that the masses are at sea and all that they know is that there is something radically wrong somewhere. Senator Tillman and men of his way of thinking believe the remedy lays with national legis lation; they believe the government is responsible for the ills endured, and they also believe the present leaders in both of the old parties are tarred with the same stick and that they are in league with the moneyed interests against, and to the detri ment of the masses. There has been a great deal said about South Caro lina's Senator looking for a light in the West and the result of his tour will be eagerly watched. Whether Tilman will turn up the light suffici ently to give a blaze bright enough to illuminate thewhole of the United States remains to be seen, but there is one thing certain, he will agitate his views and plant in the hearts and .minds of the Western people such a sentiment that those holding contrary views will be put to their trumps to stop the silver wave that is now gathering through out the entire West and South. The people feel a depression grow ing more heavily every day, and the prospect for relief does not seem to loom up. The Republican party was held responsible for the depression, the people drove them from power and gave the entire management of affairs into the hand of the Demo cratic party, but the relief looked for did not materialize. Now both of the old parties are blamed and a spirit of unrest exists everywhere; what the outcome of the present con ditions will be cannot be foreseen. Senator Tillman thinks the relief can be obtained by a coalition with the producers of the West who appear to be paddling along the political stream with the producers of the South; each section seeking a haven of prosperlty. The question with those of the West, is whether or not to break from their party ties and put new leaders for ward, and the South is hesitating whether to tear loose from the party of their fathers and join hands with those of the West who have the same interests and objects at stake. SELOC SIFTINGS. Seloc, April 12.-The farmers over here have finished planting corn and are now getting ready to transplant their tobacco. We now have eighty-five tobacco barna in Douglass township and there will be four hundred and t wenty-five acres planted in this township alone. The cotton acreage will not exceed seventy-five acres, when fornmerly one man would plant that much. Mr. J. E. Tomlinson is now build ing a pack house for his tobacco. Mr. R. W. Green, another of our success ful growers, has one already. The artsian wells over here fur nish good, healthy water, and there are plenty of them. The Douglass farmers are going to make plenty of hog and hominy and when the candidates begin to infest us we will prepare to give them more to eat than they get at home. I be lieve many a man announces himself a candidate just to get a chance to go around the country to get himself and horse fed without expense. We We notice that no candidates have published their cards in the Times. They must be a sorry set that cannot spend five dollars to let the people know that they want office and want votes.

I think it would be wise for us to read with a two-fold purpose in view. 1. We want to read so as to gather food for ourselves or personal needs, spiritual, moral and intellectual. 2. We want to read so as to fill our own winds with the great thoughts of great men so that we may be able to impart to others the knowledge that we have received. We would not like to be like the sponge, all the time receiving, but rather like the fountain, giving out. To do this, we must be sure to read with care and think over what we read. Many read in a careless, thoughtless way and all they learn is soon forgotten. Let us read ever with a purpose not simply to pass the time, but to re ceive something that will help me in life's great battle, or help me to help some one else. David said' Psalms 119:15, "I will meditate in thy precepts, and have respect unto thy ways." Like David, we must think about what we read if would be benefitted. You step aboard the average pas senger train and ere you have taken your seat some one will present be fore you an armful of books, their ti ties, etc., some of them enough to make a Christian man turn pale. And yet this is the kind of literature that thousands are reading "just to pass away the time." Stop! You have no time to pass away. Life at its best is short, and each moment should be filled. To read a bad book is infinitely worse that to "waste time.;' Don't do it. There are more than 25,000 books published every year. Let us select from them the good and pure. And always be care ful what you read, when you read, and how you read. DOTS FROM FORESTON. Foreston, April 8.-On account of being pressed for time, I haven't been able to send you the news from Foreston for the past three weeks, and will only give your readers a few dots this week. Our town seems to be getting on a boom, Several new families moved in lately. Our newly elected town authori ties organized to-day and passed several important ordinances in ref erence to the health of our town. I understand that they elected, or rather appointed, a board of health, which was organized with Maj. Land, S. Y. Barnes, and Dr. L. W. Nettles as members. The council seems to be having a good deal of business to day, having cooped several birds on Sunday that didn't belong to the town for creating a disturbance in the town. Had them brought into court and receive their just dues. Some of them paid up and others will work theirs out on the streets. I hope yet to see our little town grow to be much larger. Sunday dawned bright and a most propitious day for this happy Easter tide. This occasion was participated in by both the aged and youths of our live little town of Foreston. The exercises on Children's Day was at the Methodist church. The music rendered by our choir, composed of three denominations, was certainly very good. The organist, Miss Barnes, did her part admirably. A solo by hfr. Jno. Wilson, as a volun tary, was fine. All the choir deserve much praise. The best feature of this ideal Sab bath was the recitations by little girls. All did excellent, but the best was by Miss Cora Sprott, who is only nine years old, rendered in a modest and graceful1 style. There are many others who deserve much commendation for the exercises. The "moticn song of praise," sung by nearly all the Sunday-school scholars of the junior class, was con sidered the best of the exercises. The marching and singing by these little ones was most excellent. The church was crowded with a pleased audience. The floral decora tions were very pretty and tastily ar ranged. Some rare exotics from Mrs. WV. T. Sprott's hot house added much to the beauty. These eiercises were under the su pervision of the able superintendent, Mr. R. R. Hudgins. Like all he un dertakes, it was quite a success. All would have done credit to a much larger place. There is a neat boarding~ house here now kept by Messrs. Maurice & Boyd, which will be good news for the traveling "angels," I should have said agents. Last week our town was visited by Mr. Yates with his phonograph, which was enjoyed by many. A Mr. Somebody had a pigeon show at the school house-a show in every sense of the word. 3. A. MATESVILLE MIDGETS. Mayesvill6, April 15.--We have been reading the Times every week and have got so attached to it that we would not do without it. We venture to say that there is not a better county paper in the State. Our citizens have concluded to build a tobacco warehouse here, so you see we try to keep even with, if not ahead of other places. Our farmers have been planting corn and potatoes in abundance. The town election came off on the 6th inst. Little interest was taken init. C~so.1 REORGANIZATION OF CLUBS. OrrcE or CoUr CairnMAN, DEMocEALTIC EYECUTIVE CoMMrrmEE, CIENoN COUNTY. J Manning, 8. C.

I Tim., 4, 13: "Till I come give at tendance to reading." There are some people in the world who seldom ever read any thing but the secular newspaper. But to those who have found time for an hour's reading among the re ligious thought of the world, have desired to know what to read; "what can I read to spend this hour in the most profitable way ?" there may be, I think three questions asked as to Christian reading. 1. WHAT SHALL I BEAD Reading is an educator, but whether our readingjresults in a good or bad education depends upon what we read. The thought of reading seems to have risen in the minds of the prophet, Isaiah, when he said, "Seek ye out the book of the Lord, and read." This I would say is the best of all books to read. If you can spend only one hour in reading let me ask you tc spend that hour in reading and medi tating over the "book of the ages, the Bible." Here you will find the grandest history that has ever beer recorded. Here the biography of the most glorious and illustrious met that have ever existed upon this earth. In the bible are to be found some of the most thrilling stories t< be found in any book. So in short what ever our inclinations are, o1 whatever be our desire, we will find inthe bible just what we need. Colridge has said that there ar four kinds of readers: "First-claa are those, who may be compared t< an hour glass, their reading being a the sand: it runs in and runs out, anc leaves not a vestage behind. Second-class resembles a sponge; which imbibes everything and re turns it in nearly the same state, onl3 a little dirtier. Third-class is like a jelly-bag, whicl allows all that is pure to pass away and retains only the refuse and dregs Fourth-class may be compared tc the slaves of Golcando, who, casting aside all that is worthless, preserve: only the pure gems." "Books are like friends, should be few, and well chosen," and from these well chosen books let us gather the gems. Rober t Weidensall, an activE Christian worker, was once being, en tertained at the home of a Christiar woman. The woman desired, as shE expressed it, to "grow in grace," and requested him to give her all the help he could. As he was leaving hE told her the little story so full of truth: "Once," said he, "when at my old home in the country, I saw a hen vigorously scratching in the yard for her dinrner. As I stood watching her she scratched up a silver quarter. L she had known the value of the money, and could have used it, she could have provided herself with that which she needed. Around and around, back and forth, went the quarter, as the hen scratched for her food. I was reminded of this hen,' said the gentleman, "as I saw you in your library this morning. Hungry for spiritual food, you came in your library to read, and s our bible, that which would give you the food you needed lay on your table. You scratched over and pulled from the bottom of the papers 'Harper's monthly,' and like the hen you kept sratching the bible to right side and left, ignorant of its value, trying to get food from the books of men." How true this lesson, does it not strike us all? There are many books that should never enter our homes. It has been my great pleasure to burn some which have come to me as a gift. There is a book being circulat ed through the mails, entitled "Heav en and its Wonders and Hell" by Swedenborg. This is the most fatal book, outside of positive infidelity. that you could place in your home, It is infidelism. The writer claims to have died and gone to heaven, and investigated all of the heavenly courts, and then returned to hell and saw all of its horrors,etc,then back to earth to tell the people. Never should a book of this nature enter my home or have any one influenced by it. "The Science of Correspondence Eluci dated," by Madeley, is another of the same publications, and while I have not read it, I believe it to be a dan gerous book. Dr. Brouders said that"a man could not spend one hour in reading the bible without being greatly benefitted; likewise he could not read "The Chicago Times" one hour without being badly injured." Many people who call themselves Christians are spending not only hours but days over the Chicago Times or some trashy novel. The influence of a bad book is as vicious as that of an evil companion, and in some cases more so. I know of a boy who spent night after night reading the daring stories of an adventure. He became tired of home, restless, and from his kindred and home and friends he has wan dered. To-day, like the prodigal, he is in "a far country," somewhere in the unknown West. I believe the continual reading fired his soul for that life. I would that the Christian homes all over this country would look into their book-cases, and like the Chris tians at Ephesus, recorded in the 19th chapter of Acts and 19 verse: "Many of them brought their books together, and burned them before all men." I do not believe that parents are care ful enough as to what their children are reading. There are plenty of good books-let us place them in the hands of the children. Most of us would doubtless say that the best time to read is when you get a chance. No one is so busy that he or she cannot findl some time to read if they will I believe that where there is a will there is a way. We can find time to read and not rob urselves of sleep or neglect duty. Just a few moments before breakfast r at dinner or supper will fill the mind with thought while you are plowing or working, as duty de mands. Schliemaa, as a boy, while at the postoffice waiting for his mail, was iccustomed to reading a little greek book that he carried in his pocket. ary Stmmaerfield. the astronomer, REGULATOR THE BEST SPRING MEDICINE Is SIMMONS LIVER REGULATOR.

KINGSTREE:ITEMS. Kingstree, April 6th:-To-day, Monday, has been a lively one in Kingstree. The public sales and the meeting of Camp Pressley brought in a large crowd. The candidates were out in full force and presented their claims to the dear people. Noth ing occurred to mar the good feel ings that pervailed. The meeting of Camp Preesley was well attended by the old veterans of the "lost cause." The meeting was held in the court house and presided over by Commander Gordon. Dr. Flinn, of the South Carolina college, was present and delivered an address to the delight of all present. The sheriff sold two tracts of land under foreclosure, which were bid off by the mortgagee. The clerk of court also sold one tract of 829 acres under the order of the court, which was bid off for $2000 by one Taylor. Mr. It. H. Hudson an aged and bighly respected citizen, who resided over Black River about eleven miles out from Kingstree, died yesterday, 5th inst., and was buried this after noon in the Presbyterian cemetery at this place. He was funeralized by Dr. Flinn, of Columbia. Mr. Thomas Parlor, a young man who lived at Lanes, this county, died Saturday, 4th inst., and was buried it Scranton last evening. Mr. Parlor was accidently shot through the head ibout two weeks ago, by one Robt Davis. Davis and Parlor were warm rriends and no blame whatever is at bached to Davis. Miss Bessie, the beautiful and ac :omplished daughter of Capt. John A. Kelley, is home from the Columbia Eemale college visiting her parents. biss Bessie graduated at this college Last year, but is pursuing a postgrad aate course there now. Miss Retta Withers, of Camden, is risiting the family of Hon. Thos. M. Siland. Miss Withers was an as istant teacher in the Kiagstree Col Legiate Institute last year, and during ier sojourn here made many warm ind admiring friends. Dr. Flinn delivered an address on emale education in the Methodist ~hurch here Sunday evening. The ddress was a fine effort, and calcu ated to stimulate thought and activity .n the great and important matter of aducating the daughters of our peo le. Dr. Flinn called particular at ention to the great work of the Co umbia Female college along this Line. Messrs. Lesesne & Epps are surely jartered in the retreats of bachel rhood. We are inclined to think, iowever, that this is only a temporary ~esort. The Florence District Conference vill convene here on the 30th inst. Miss Bessie Welch left here Sunday o go to Black Mingo, where she has icepted a school. Dr. Darby has returned from Tim nonsville where he has been assist ng the Rev. C. D. Mann in a pro ;racted meeting. Messrs. Thorne & Inow have put ip and have in operation a brick man ifactory. Mr. L. B. Johnson has returned iome from Baltimore Medical college. kr.

WVe were all de ighted to see that the beautiful pro ram which had been arranged was io nicely carried out. The music as good indeed. The recitations lialogues and singing by the little olks, we think, were excellent; also n address by Rev. C. M. Billings as greatly enjoyed. Mr. J. L,. Knight left this place on ast Monday for Darlington. Mr. Enight has been for the Jast few rears employed by this railroad as ection master, and most always nade Packsville his headquarters. HVe regret his leaving very much, and ope him every happiness and pros >erity. Mr. J. M. Bradham, our clever lit le postmaster, left last Monday for )harleston, where he will attend Jnited states Court this week. We have had two very pleasant lit le sociables in our neighborhood uringw the past week, which were argely ernjoyed by all who attended. Vhile we don't object to sociables, ye would rather have them change nto picnics, and we think it is about ime they should begin as the writer's ~rocery lien has about expired and e needs some help of that kind to ~rce him over this long, hard sum ner until cotton picking time. Packsville is still on a boom. The Lew Metaodist church is about com leted; the school is rapidly increas ng; our merchants are stirring in an adustrious mode, while the echo com the blacksmith's hammer and be settlings of dust from the 'distant ilw fields proves that our little wn and surrounding neighborhood re in a prospering conditior.
