The Democratic clubs throughout the county will assemble on the 2nd day of May for the purpose of elect ing delegates to a county convention to meet in Manning on the 4th day of May. This is a very important matter to the white people, and at all the clubs there should be full turn outs. The new constitution has caused some changes in the registra tion of voters and at these club meet ings committees should be appointed to urge upon the white people to go out and be registered. The name of every white man who has not regist ered should ascertained and they should be informed that their former certificates are out of date and use less. Let every white man turn out to his club meeting and there give heed to what is expected of him as a citizen, for the future welfare of him self and his children. Wherever we look, and from information that reaches us, we see and hear of the activity among the negroes; they are on the alert and as many of them as the law will permit, will become reg istered voters. This means someth ing when we take into consideration the conduct of certain white men, who have already gone with the negro. There are more still to go to them, but at present they prefer waiting to see what the other fellows get out of it; if they see that they have profited well, there will be a regular dis gruntled white slump, and then with a leadership of white men the netgroes will be emboldened. and great trouble will be the result. WVe can avoid agy annoyance if we do our duty to ourselves. If the reg istration books show a good safe white majority the negroes will know it is uselebs to make a fight, and their white allies will not dare to make it. There are some white men who for political advantage will resort to anything; they will volunteer their sworn testimony in behalf of a negro contesting a congressional seat against a white man, and their political morals are so low that in some in stances they will swear falsely to aid thenm in gratifying their groveling spleen. The testimony in the Wilson-Mc Laurin contest would be a revelation to our people were the same tc be published in the newspapers and it would be an incentive to equip them selves, so that whenever such char acters raise their heads they can be struck down indignation. Just think of it! White men so blinded by pre judice as to seek the privilege of cast ing a stigma upon their fellow citi zens, and with brazen affrontery they say their conversion to Republican ism is on principle. These latter-day Blints did not discover their conver sion to republican principles until after the Republican party made such a sweeping victory in the elections last fall, anid the bright prospect at present, for that party getting possession of the government; these things had the effect of bringing the "Lily White' lambs to the altar of Republicanism. One of their leaders, ex-attorney for the C. S. & N. Railroad Clarence S. Nettles, was made the temporary chairman of the "Lily White" Repub lican convention and Sampson Pope was made its permanent presiding offcer, Nettles made a speech with a lump in his throat and a blush on his cheek, for the little conscience thati s left him must have been thump ing him hard. Samps Pope also made a speech in which he spit up all the bitterness at his command and not feeling safe that he had allied himself with the winning faction of the Republican party after giving the Tillmanites the benefit of his venom and wrath, he laid the ground to jump on the winning side by telling them that the St. Louis convention would settle the differences between them and which ever side won, the other side would go over to it. In other words "Samps" wanted them to. understand that if the Websterites won he would be on hand for offcial crumbs. "Samps" struck the dispensary law with sledge hammer blows, but as he did not mention it we presume he forgot to tell his black and tan con stitutents how, when the law was Sassed he carried it away from the taehouse in his bosom to "keep the damned Antis from steahing it," and how he almost breathless took it ?othegovernoris mansion to be signed, but ".-amps" has had such a varigated political caireer that he is not ex pected to remember anything, in fact, he is supposed to be like the justice of the peace in the play of Melise, "accordin to the statoots a jestice has got no sense" and before Samps gets trough with worshipiig at his newl altar he will find that the strange gods have turned against him and he will only too gladly plead insanity asI an exense for his present politics. CHICAGO EXPOSITION. The recent convention in Spartan burg held for the purpose of having South Carolina properly represented at the Chicago exposition next August was a great success and will bring forth good fruit. It was a convention of business men for business pur poses and had it not been for the chronic malice of Mr. Gonzales edi tor of the State, towards Governor Evans, the convention would have done its work without politics being hinted at,but Mr. Gonzales would not have it so. He opposed the election of Governor Evans as president of the committee and although he pro tested that it was not on account of politics, he did not seem to convince anybody to his way of thinking. The editor of the State was justly and properly rebuked by Mr. Tillinghast, and the convention endorsed him. We hope this State will raise the necessary sum of money to make a fine exhibit and we hope all of her citizens will enter the work with a will. South Carolina has a plenty of good things to induce people to come here to seek, and the way to get them here is to advertise them. We may have our political differences, but when it comes to the business interests of the State we are one people and should all put our shoulders- to the wheel for the State's welfare and prosperity. We want to see every county stirred up in this matter and in every town public meetings called for the purpose of showing the peo pie the advantage a good exbibit at Chicago. From Clarendon we can send woods of every descrip tion, and the finest tobacco that grows in the United States; there is no rea son why Clarendon can not have one of the most attractive exhibits at the exposition. The correspondent of the News and Courier stationed at Washington who signs himself R. M. L. gave his pa per a "song and dance" last Sunday about Senator Tillman going to Co lumbia to get Governor Evans to withdraw from the Senatorial race to prevent mutiny in the Reform ranks. The secret hand in :his report is plainly seen; it is to drag Congress man McLaurin and Talbert into the Senatorial race, and should they be lured into the trap, others will also be persuaded in order that things may be muddled as much as possible. If the scheme succeeds,up will spring a friend of the present national administration and the anti State administration people will go into the fight in solid phal anx against scattered and disorgan ized Reformers, each making a helter skelter-race. R. M. L's report is a chesnut in this State; in every local primary election that scheme of bringing out candidates has been re sorted to, andthe people are on to it. If R. M. L. is not attempting some scheme, then his recent marriage has affected him most peculiarly; it has broken the dream of one who has lost the threads of imagination. Senator Tillman, while in Denver last week, was presented with a pitch fork made of silver and gold, and it is said the young lady that made the presentation is the handsomest woman in Colorado. Farmer Ben is keeping his lamp well trimmed and burning and when he turned up' the wick in the WVest there shone forthI a light the brilliancy of which was as tounding to tbe natives. The light in the West has been discovered and we honestly believe that if- the silver advocates stand firm, they will either elect the next president of the United States or they will push the gold standard people to a great big fright. The agitation has done more towards educating the masses than any other question ever before presented to the people and where the financial ques tion has been properly placed before the people, the results show that sil ver has triumphed- This is true to such an extent that the gold-staadard ites have almost conceded their de feat. Washington, April 21.-Repre sentative MeLauin was the host at a lunheon given at the Capital to day in honor of Mrs. Tiliman, the wife of the junior Senator. The oth er guests were Representative and Mrs. Latimer and Miss Mary Evans, the sister of Governor Evans, who is visiting Mrs. Latimer. Some of the South Carolinians are attaching some political significance to the event, al though it appears that it was purely a courtesev to Mrs. Tillman and her friends, who were sight-seeing at the Capitol. However, in view of the re cent manifestations of friendliness between Senator Tillman and Repre sentative McLauin there is consid erable speculation on the subject. We would advise our readers to shun the candidate for gubernatorial honors whose platform is to tear down existing educational institu tions. There are some men who think it will be popular to swear vengeance against Clemson, South Carolina, Winthrop and Citadel col leges and they will go out to tickle the masses with their rot. Beware of such men; they are simply waving a red flag to inflame the passions of a certain class and thereby hope 'to catch votes. A man who can not go before the people with a .platform of pogress had better stay at home. The question is constantly being sked us "What is McLaurin going to be a candidate for ?" and our answer is that he has not as yet announced his intention of being a candidate for anything. He has always been call ed for by the people and we think if they believe he has made them a faitrful representative, they should indicate in a formal manner their de sire that he should again represent them. McLaurin is Dot an office seeker, but he is a man of the people and he is always ready to respond to their demands and wishes. The gold-standard Democrats have recently prevented the election of a silver Democratic Senator in Ken tucky. Now the question is, must the silver Democrats turn th~e other cheek? or is the action of the gold men a sufliient excuse for silver Democrats to refuse to supp<-rt a gold-standard candidate for iresi. Aent?9 The people alnea n anawea. The Democrats of Denver Colorado have organized a Tillman club and paraded with pitchforks, and when the Senator finished his speech a woman threw her arms around his neck.and kissed him. The Senator's wife is not traveling with him. RELIGIOUS THOUGHTS. BY REV. J. O. GOUGH, MANNING, S. C. nEVIVAS. The Lord gave us a true way of success in all Christian work, and more especially in what is called a revival. He said that the work is ac complished "not by might nor by power, but by my Spirit." The Holy Spirit filling the hearts of church members make the church Spiritual. The Spirit of God alone can give a revival. I have less confidence every year in the revival work as carried on by the evangelist. I knew an evan gelist once in my own town to carry on a series of meetings and at the close claimed that two hundred peo ple had been converted. Six months or less had not passed before all who were "moved" were in the same state of living, To this day I know of but one who held out faithful in the church and lived a Christian life. Give us a revival that will last. But I sometimes think that the preachers make a mistake in this special ser vice. A revival means the awakening and reviving of the church members and not so much the gathering in of the lost. A sinner, as I understand it, is rep resented as being "dead in sin," hence he has nothing or but little to revive. Let us in this special work seek to arouse the church, and when the "stumbling blocks" are out of the way and the Eternal Spirit fills our hearts, the "lost will be found" and the sinners saved. We sincerely hope and pray that the revival now in progress at the Methodist church may be the mieans in God's hands of gloriously reviving the church, and bringing back and binding by the bonds of love those "sheep that have gone astray" and the saving of the lost in our midst. PRAYER ETING. We would be so glad to have a re vival in our prayer service. So few of all our churches seem to feel like they have any interest in the prayer meeting. "How many members of your church attend the prayer meet ings?" "I am sorry to say but very few indeed." This is the conversa tion that I recently heard between two ministers. What will you do or think of a church with a membership of three hundred and fifty and only about thirty or forty at the week day ser vice ?" This is a question that re mains to be answered. One has said that "the prayer meet ing is the thermometer of the church." If this be true, many of our churches are not only freezing but they are below zero. When the time comes for prayer-meeting "they all with one consent begin to make excuses," with, of course, a few ex ceptions to the "alL" Dr. S. C. Dixon, of Brooklyn, N. Y., said in Raleigh, N. C., last week: '-Whenever I find a church member quit attending prayer meeting, I say to myself, 'he has been eating a mess of onions.' If some shrewd Yankee trader among the Egyptians had fol lowed the marching Israelites with 'leek and garlic' for sale, he would have made his fortune." The prayer meeting is an impor tant service and you ought to attend because you need the benefit to be derived from it yourself. By so at tending, you will strengthen your pastor and the faithful men and wo men who attend, and by attending the prayer-meeting you can please God and serve Him better. mW S'rocK. "I wish to call the attention of my friends and the public to my new stock of liquors, which I honestly claim will make drunkards, paupers, and beggars for the sober, industri ous and respectable community to suport. My liquor will excite you to robbery, riot and murder, increase your expenses, and shorten your life. My liquor will make fathers fiends, wives widows, mothers cruel, chil dren orphans. As a reference I refer you to the pawn-shop, poor-house, police office, hospital, the jail and gallows." I would like to suggest that this sign be hung out at the door of our dispensary and that all who enter will stop and read. Our people in Clarendon county are failing to pay honest debts, grum bling of "hard times," some not clothing even their wives and chil dren. Nothing to eat at home, and yet, as a general thing, from the poorer class nearly fifteen hundred a month go into the hands of the State, into the dispensary established here in Mauziiug. Fifty dollars e' day goes into whiskey and the whiskey into men. Think of it ! nearly twen ty thousand dollars from Clarerdon county go into the State dispensary. If men would only stop drinking one year and give the sum they spend for whiskey to the payment of Clarendon county's debt, she could pay out of debt and establish in the town of Manning three of the most beautiful churches to worship God. Let them do without whbiskey two years and the county could establish a cotton mill or some manufacturing interest that wvould give employment to hun dreds of hands, build up our town and county and one more be prosper God hasten the time when every drop of whiskey shall be blotted from our town and State.

Can the gold standard be main .ained by borrowing gold? Obviously aut. Gold is not wanted for use at home, and it is not borrowed for that purpose. It is wanted for export; it is wanted to pay for imports or for interest on debts our people owe to other countries, for the carrying trade etc. When will the necessity for bor rowing for such purposes end? Man ifestly only when we pay in some other way. The borrower does not keep the money he borrows;he pays it away. Borrowed gold never stays in the country that borrows it. Cou ditions that make it necessary to bor row gold will send it out again as faet as it is liberated. Gold stays only where it goes of itself, in the course of trade. Gold will stay in this country only as it comes here in the course of trade, and it will come here in that way on the one condition that the prices here are enough be low the price level of other countries to make this the best market to buy in; that is, to invest gold in. We can get gold and keep it in no other way High prices and the gold standard do not go together, and they cannot both be had at the same time. The one condition on which the gold standard can be maintained is low prices; that is, the conditions under which gold will come here of itself must first be created. Nor can debtor nations maintain an even price level with creditor countries. Prices must be lower with us than in countries owing no outside debts. Besides exporting enough to pay for all our imports, we must pay an nually, as interest and other charges, not less than $100,000,000. This must be paid with products of some kind or with gold. We can pay with products only on condition that we will sell as low as any other country, and we must compete with all other debtor countries for the privilege of paying in commodities. The condition, therefore, on which the gold standard can be maintained here is not only lower prices than now, but prices lower than in countries not in debt-enough lower to induce our creditors to take of us commodities for what we owe them rather than demand gold. No matter, therefore, how ruinous the fall of prices has been, nor what the consequences of a further fall may be, they must go a good deal lower before gold can be made to stay here, and until then we will not in fact be on a gold basis. That is the cost of the gold standard, and it can be had at no less price. We have borrowed since 1893, $162,000,000, and are now issuing bonds for $100,000,000 more. All that we have borrowed has gone from us, and all that we are now borrowing will undoubtedly go in the same way. And will there not be the same neces sity to borrow again when this is gone as now? If, after $160,000,000 had1 been borrowed, more borrowing is necessary, will not more borrowing be necessary after $260,000,000 have been borrowed, and will the necessity stop at $500,000,000 or at $1000,000, 000? What will stop it? The truth is, every loan for such a purpose in creases the necessity for more loans, and there is no end but the limit- of credt, and that, of course means bankruptcy. This is so plain a proposition that any body can see through it, and hard headed men all over the country do see through it, if banker's don't, and are asking when it is to stop. If Mr. Cleveland and Mr. Carlisle think this policy has the approval of the peopleflet them take a trip through almost any part of the country out side of Wall street, and they will hear denunciations of it in language that would make Tillman's epithets appear mild. The truth is, plain people know the attempt to maintain the gold standard by borrowing gold, is a blunder, and they believe it is approaching very near the line of criminal blundering. Nor is it possible to change - this condition by tariffs. If prices of commodities that must go to pay what we owe abroad, could be, and were, raised by tariffs above 'prices for like commodities in other countries, then our creditors would refuse to take goods and demand gold. And if a protective tariff can not be made operative on the things produced by half our people, it ought not to be made to operate in favor of the other half, or for the benefit of one and injury of another; and it cannot long be made to operate in that way, for it is not possible, by tariffs or in any other way, perman ently to maintain a low price level for half of our industries and a high level for the other half. Tariffs, to be justitied, must be made to cover our industrial system as a whole. Again, the question of maintaining the gold standard,or of keeping gold in this country, is not one of revenue. If twice as much revenue were col lected as is now paid into the Treas ury, it would have little or no effect on the outflow of gold. Gold is not demanded at the Treasury for in ternal use, where other currency serves every purpose just as well as gold, and is more convenient. Gold is wanted to pay debts abroad where other currency cannot be used. It would therefore be the height of folly now that $250,000,000 have been put into the Treasury to lay there idle, to add to this idle hoard by increased taxation. One thing more: It is not because of the existence of greenbacks that gold goes out of the country. It would go out just as quickly and just as certainly if banknotes took the place of greenbacks. Nor would it make any difference to the business interests of the country whether the gold that went abroad was gathered first in the Treasury and was then taken from there, or went directly from the banks. The question of the gold standard is at bottom a question of price levels and nothing else; and price levels do not depend onl who issues the paper currency, or on whether the volume is made up of bank notes or of Treasury notes. Keep this in mind. To main ain the gold standard prices in the United States must go ~o the lowest level of prices in other ;old standard countries, and if prices riust go to that level wages must go SIMMONS REGULATOR THE BEST SPRING MEDICINE is SIMMONS LIVER REGULATOR.

SUMMERTON SAYINGS. Summerton, April 20.-The atten tion of an officer of this town was called one day last week to what was, as circumstances developed, a most dastardly at tempt to injure and probably to destroy the'life of a fel low man. From the facts given to your correspondent, it seems that a certain citadel in this town is the ob ject of attack by two different invad ing forces. I say invading because neither live in this town. Contrary to the ordinary mode of warfare they both rush to the attack at night. Both are mounted forces, but gener ally dismount, hitching their horses at the front gate and advancing to the attack on foot, directly against the front. Of late, however, on ac count of either too stout a resist ence by the besieged, or word that the other party was approaching in force the party which happens to be fartherest away from his base of sup plies, say about fifteen miles, deter mined on a more desperate battle, and remembering luckily the favorite move of the great "Stonewall," emu lated that hero by executing a gal lant flank move to the enemy's left. This put him on the back yard, con siderably nearer to the object of at tack. Now, in this yard there is a most convenient swinging limb, mak ing a suitable hitching place. Fear ing the attack might not prove suc cessful, a certain horse. which must be a very intelligent animal, was set to dig a rifle pit just under the limb to which he was attached, into which his rival might probably fall if he should attempt a similar move. In this assault the redoubtable knight was captured, and found to be des perately wounded. And now follows the most remarkable part of the sto ry. By an act of magnanimity un precedented in the annals of war, af ter being most hospitably cared for during the night, was furnished an escort by the besieged and conduct ed with all the honors of war to his own castle, where it is hoped Richard will soon be himself again. Will he return ? I am somewhat Harried by doubt as to whether he will or not. Sure enough, the rival party, who must have just read Longstreet's book on the war, coming up to. the attack fell-upon the identical flank move, and in an attempt to. use the same swinging limb, fell crashing in to the yawning pit, the noise of which brought out the fair garrison and he was conquered on the spot. Now, I have no experience in such matters, but have read several times where wounded knights, nursed back to health by fair damsels, thank their lucky stars for the accident which brought the love that was life to them. Therefore, I would say to contending parties that if you con template digging pits for each other, be sure and dig deep enough to kill. In this case, the one who dug the pit probably judged his adversary's height by his own, happening to be quite short himself. For his infor mation I will say that his rival is head and ears. above him, and in ad dition is named after, and no doubt has some of the genius of him who thousands of ragged Johnny Rebs delighted to call "Uncle Robert." Whether he is head and ears above him in this fight now on is none of my business. Our little town is now abloom with all its spring beauty. This is the season at which we, the town, looks its best, and now arrayed in all its summer finery awaits the usual in coming of its summer guest. Rev. Mr. Watson, taking advantage of the moonshine, will commence a meeting at the Methodist church to night. Rev. J. Walter Daniel, of Sumter, has been asked to assist in the meeting. Nearly all the cotton is planted now and our farmers are patiently waiting for thxe pleasant April showers. Miss Daisy Griffiths, of Bainbridge, is on a visit to her aunt, Mrs. WVat son. Mrs. Hane, of Darlington, is on a visit to her father, Rev. Mr. WVat son. Miss Caro Belser is visiting friends in Sumter. Mrs. R. R. Briggs returned from a visit to friends in Sumter on Satur dy. Mr. Davey Thomas, of Wedgefield, is visiting relatives here. * MAYESVILLE MIDGETS. Mayesville, April 18.-Last Friday, the 17th, the stockholders of the to bacco warehouse met and elected iheir officers as follows: President, W. D. Gamble of Lower Salem; clerk and treasurer, A. A. Strauss of this town; general superintendent, Elija Tomlinson; board of directors, J. E. Atkins, D. E. Keels, R. M. Cooper, J. E. Barnett, and some other officers which your correspondent has not been able to get. There will be no doubt that we will have a tobacco warehouse for our town and sur rounding country. Cotton planting seems to be the order of the day, although we are in great need of rain. We have not had any rain in several weeks. Politics seem to be at a stand-still here. We have three white churches, ne Presbyterian, one Methodist, and one Baptist. There are also four coloedr chnurches CANO. STATE OF SOUTH CAROLINA, COUNTY OF CLARENDON. COURT OF COMMON PLEAS. S. A.
