The editor of the Charleston Post
should not waste his labors where
his talents have such a narrow scope.
He should get a position on Ira
Hicks's periodical and have full and
complete charge of the funny depart
ment of prognostications, Ball says
that the Antis will elect the next
governor; of course he is joking, but
such a joker as he, should not confine
his jokes to such a small area as
Charleston. for it is down right self
ishness to have the laugh all to her
self.
The Crocodile tears shed by The
Sumter Herald about our having pub
lished the county treasurer's report
and will get no pay for the same is
entirely gratuitous, and we will in
form it that we know the law in ref
erence to the matter. Our rule is to
give our readers as much information
as we can for the money they pay us.
There is such a thing as public spirit
in this town that cannot be suppressed
- by the weight of a few dollars, nor do
our ideas change about the usefulness
f publishing said report when we
e placed in a position of not being
able to get it-from the officer author.
ized to give out the contract.
The name of General John Gary
Watts has been going the rounds ol
the press recently with reference to
a re-election and with but one or twe
destiba, because he has done more to
build up the militia and put it on a
firm ,basis than any of his pre
dmesrs. We sincerely hope that
General Watts will be re-elected with
out opposition and should he have an
opponent we can be counted on, re
gardless from whence comes the op.
~position to give him a hearty sup
*port.
.The campaign is about here and
we think it will be well for us to say
in the begining that this newspaper
proposes to treat each and every
candidate for local offices with ab
solute impartiality. We will not ad
vocate the interests of any local can
didate through these columns. As an
individual the Editor of the Times
will vote for and support whom he
may see fit; this is his private busi
ness. This statement is made in
order that all who expect to become
candidates, be they friends or not,
may know exactly what the attitude
of this paper will be. We want to
see a whole lot of candidates, because
it gives the people a better chance to
make a selection, and that is one of
the reasons why the primary system
was adopted. So patriots come out
from every section and offer your.
selves to be sacrificed upon the altar
otyour country. Come out candi
dates, it matters not how you get out,
whether it is through the "solicita
tion of many friends" a combination
cliqe, or any other way just so you
get otwhere the people can see who
you are and what you want.
Politics makes strange bed-fellows;
it was only a few months ago the
Conservatives were scraching the
hide from their scalps to find words
strong enough to express their con
tempt for Senator Irby, and now it
seems that they are falling over each
other to give him support. In Laurens
the Reformers repudiated Irby, and
would have prevented his election
to the State convention, but for the
Conservatives, who went to Irby's
rescue and saved him with a profit of
two delegates out of their ranks for
themselves. Senator Irby through
this deal got himself elected to the
State convention, but that is as far as
he will go. The people well remem
br how Irby's friends hounded Col.
Shell for no greater offense to the
Reform cause than treating Conser
vativeswith common politeness; he
made no deals, nevertheless he pre
ferred to retire rather than jeopardize
the cause which he helped to build.
On the other hand, Irby proposes to
force himself upon the people, or
rn the cans they worked for io
bard. He has become desperate since
defeat stares him in the face, and his
present conduct can only be trans
lated to mean "return me to the Sen
ate, or I will do everything im my
power to turn the Reform colors over
to our opponents." But fortunately
the Reform colors do not belong to
Irby or any other man; they belong
to a majority of the people, and in
our opinion they will take the colors
from Irby's grasp and he will be told
to go home and soak the soreness out
of his bead.
A resolution was offered at the
meeting of the Marion County Al
liance asking for a district conference
to suggest a candidate for Congress
to advocate alliance demands. We
are at a loss to know why this step
should be taken for it strikes us that
we have in Congress at present rep
resentating the sixth district a power
ful advocate of the alliance demands.
Is it possible that Marion has a man
who thinks he can make a louder
noise, demanding the "alliance de
mands" than our present representa
tive. Perhaps though, the confer
ence call is part and parcel of a deal.
Marion may call district conferences
to suggest a candidate, but we will
state, and the result will prove the
correctness of our asertion that John
L. McLaurin will be re-elected to
Congress with or without the endorse
ment of the conference suggest by
Marion.
There is such a thing as having
friends whom we may pray to be de
livered from and we think that Gen
eral Ellerbe is in this fix. The people
of this section of the congressional
district are very friendly to General
Ellerbe's candidacy for governor;
they want to support him, but if a
sacrifice has to be made between
Ellerbe and McLaurin, why Ellerbe
will be the one sacrificed, because
they regard it important to have
John L. McLaurin in Congress, and
a governor can be picked up any
where. We hope the people of this
congressional district will be able
to work harmoniously together, and
they will do so if jealous politicians
will just let the- people alone. If,
however, a fight is to be had, we give
notice that it will be to a finish, and
like all other family fights, the results
will be disastrious.

Address by Mr. G. W. McFaddin.
Subject: The Poet as Teacher.
The May Party was the grandest
affair of that character we have ever
had in Salem. The stage was deco
rated by the young ladies in the most
artistic style. Ivy, roses, and ferns
were used in profusion. The sur
rounding atmosphere was loaded
with the most fragrant perfumes.
The spacious front yard was crammed
with buggies and carriages and tbey
were crammed with pretty girls. The
young ladies that took part in the
exercises were most charming, most
angelic. dome with outstretched
pinions, made us feel sure that we
were standing -face to face with
angels; others with wands in hand,
reminding one of the mythical fairies;
and still yet the comet, with her long:
train bedecked with flowers of the
rarest hues, in all her brilliancy, is
too much to described. They all de
serve credit for their dilligence in
preparing for an entertainment of I
such high merit.
We can only say that Miss Olivia
has evinced a rare talent in prepar
ing entertainments and "learning the
young idea how to shoot." We
would say more, but to describe so
brilliant an affair is like trying to
"paint the sunbeams." SA.EIL.
DEAFNESS CANNOT BE CURED
by local applicationsi, as they cannot reach I

only one'way to cure deafness, an d th it is
by costitutional remedies. Deafness is

mucous lining of the Eustachian Tab '
When tbis tabe gets inflamed you have a.
rumbling sound or imperfect hearing, an i C
when it is entirely closed Deafness is the t,
result, and unless the inflammation can be t
taken out and this tube restored to its
normal condition, hearing will be destroy

by catarh, which is nothing but an in

-The churches of all denominations
should never cease to fight strong

-The churches have become to look
upon the curse of strong drink as a
fixture, that is Christian men and
women seem to feel that strong drink
must exist in our town, blotting and
blighting hearts and homes, when if
they only knew their strength they
could sweep it from our midst.
-Out of the (about) $1500,00 per
month that goes into the dispensary,
a large majority comes from the
poorer classes, who need it in their
homes and in the mouths of their
wives and children.

robs his wife and child, to fill himself

-The jail was two small to hold
Diaz, (known as Paul to the Cubans,)
because the Lord Jesus was behind

-God bless the man who sacri

greater the sacrifice the greater will
be the blessing.
-Sunday is "The Lord's day" and
should be kept andjhonored as such;
it should be a day of religious read

and reading business letters, and
thinking of same.
-The darkest night that ever
hovered over Sodomn was the night
when Lot entertained the angels,
when not ten rightecus persons could

1l sad, because of the removal of lit
e "Elmer," the youngest ehild of! -
rother and Sister Howie. It is sol
ard to give up the tiny babe. We
mnno understand it: now, "bnt: we
;h:dl knowlcreatter." Elmer was so
ood, so sweet, so sensible. Often as
we would look at her in the bloom of
bealth, she seemed more fitted for
heavu than earth. One night as we
sat in the hush and stillness of the
darkness the angel hovered lower,
and up from the bed of pain he rose,
bturiug aloft on angel pinions the
sweet spirit of our babe. She is
gone. Her little voice is hushed on
rth. We are left trying to gather
up fh fragments of a crushed and
amangled hope. But let us not weep;
God has but taken that which wits
his own. "The Lord gave, and the
Lord hath taken away, blessed be the
iame of the Lord." She is gone to
sing the "new song" which no man
ea:ui learn--the song of innocence
swelling out from infant voices and
echci::g through the world above.
"We shall meet our loved ones gone
some sweet day."
SOUND MONEY.
"Hypocrisy is the tribute that vice
pa'.s to virtue." The world's en
lightenment to-day will not sanction
tyranny and oppression under a gen
uine label that discloses its intent and
purpose. Fair words and delusive
phrases of necessity are used, like the
livery of heaven in the service of the
devii, to bolster every scheme aimed
at human rights. Every prostitution
of government to private uses, every
undue advantage of the few over the
many, everything done in public
affairs that would pull the bandage
from the eyes of the little goddess
with the scales, and fire her cheek
with indignation, must be done cov
ertly in the name of justice. Only
with popular catch words as mottoes
can the great heart of America be
deceived. Collectively, in the interest
of the public weal, we are honest.
The American people are pioneers in
"of the people and by the people,"
and sone of the untrodden paths in
our front seem equally alluring, and
must be traveled and tried before we
know whether they lead to better and
igi her ground. This should enjoin
u- to patience with all honest differ
ere s of opinion, but hypocracy de
-:r' s no shield.
the d0iscasion of money it will
te impute dishonesty to all
use tle terms "sound ioney,"
money," 'cheap money,"
, or it would not be true. Yet
toi pople will take heel of what
these terms imply, and see if injustice
is not being paradled under its usual
cloak. Suund : money means stable,
secure money. It means a basic
money proportioned to the credit
money resting on it. Was the base
excessive with gold and silver both
as standard money, v.ith two and a
half billions excess of paper money
above the world's specie? If not, was
the reduction of that base by nearly
one-half conducive to soundness? It
has been shown by trial that the new
base is too small, and has to be sup
plemented. Does that dem onstrate
its sufiiciency or insufficiency? Is
not the unsoundness of the present
system exactly- measured by the
considered, why do we borrow to int
crease the base? To call that sound
finance that projects a mountain of
credit money into the air, the excess
of which has no metal base whatever,
seems to reverse all our previous
conception of things. If this "goes,"
we shall have to cudgel our brains to
invent a new term for unsoundness.
It would not do for the advocates of
the new theory to admit that an ex
clusive gold base altered values by
increasing the purchasing power of
money. This, in the face of billions
of debt, would be an admission that
a great crime had been committed.
It would be an admission that con
tracts had been impaired, tbe legal
right to do which does not exist; but
there are imiplied admissions from
which there is no logical escape. The
allegation that a return to bimetalism
will make "cheap money" is an ad
mission that the dleparture from it
made d-ar money. What becomes
of all the long arguments to show
that the gold standard had no effect
to increase the burden of debt or
lessen the price of land and its oro
ducts, if retracing our steps by re
mounetizing silver will make cheap
money? The use of the term "cheap
mney" is a confession that money
can be mauipulated as to its value.
If there are some who do not see
whiat the two contrary arguments
imply, it will be shown more clearly
v:L~e:1 reduced to its lowest terms,
'I:., thie departure from himetallism
honl no effet on values, but the re
o:ration of bimjetallism will make
ei:cesp money andl be calamitous.I
Were it not for debt and credit,
money manipulation would be with
out an object and would cease. The
sole object of metallic money is, that
nature, in the ouitput of the precious
metals, helps to limit the supply. This
is a more positive restriction than
mankind have yet shown themselves
iapable of. Time will show the folly
f disturbing the old relation. If
restriction of coinage makes dearer
money for creditors, the debtors who
s.tnumber the others ten to one,
when they learn the game, will not, it
s feared, stop at 16 to 1, will infiate
paper money to a ruinous extent in
cetaliation. With the money lords
na hapless minority, where will it
stop? It is useless to argue with
.hose who contend that the value of
;old is fixed and unch'ange~able with
>ut regard to its quantity or demand,
nio prove its stability by measuring
.t by itself. Nothing but surgical
>peration would seem to help such a
:ase. If their memories are not too
hort, they can recall the time when
he nations of Europe made their
:rusade against the yellow metal;
vhen it was demonetized in the Ger
nan states, Holland and Belgium,
ond railed against as silver is now
od for the same cause. We must
bolish debt, or again establish the
coney' of the constitution.

shadowy oaks and gossipped of jicuitcs
gone by, when they, too, were young, at
least Nounger, anI recounted, silently of
course, the many wounds they made in

that the whole crowd, under tu uaruage

upon buggies, a irriages, wagon:, and
everytking big enough to hold a basket or
hamper. The result is startling and
enough to remind old veterans present of
the time when Jackson got hold of Pope's
stores at 2nd :ianass.as. No use to say
anythin; about that dinner, one reason is
that there wast't much said during its
progress. Each was intent on the busi

During the day excursions tre made by

half mile distant, and the old fort is once

only weapons 'ised are those of Cupid,
and it takes Roentgen and his X rays to
see where the damage is done, as no doubt
there has been inischiet done.
During the whole afternoon the lakeside,
the grove, the old fort, is picketed, not by

seems to be need for str ager outposts as

JOTTIMS FROM JORDAN.
Jordan, May i1.-Scarcely has the
dark cloud of affliction rolled from
before our grief-stricken hearts and
with her slow rays of sunshine and
hope have somewhat palliated the
bitter pangs of grief, ere we are
again called upon to:.lay away to
rest another of our loved ones. This
time, God in his mercy, has taken
from the home of Mr. C. R. Sprott
their joy, their bright and sweet
girl, Mary Thomas, aged one and
one-half years. This is the fifth
death which has occurred in the
large family in about twe've months.
May God give them submission and
grace to say, "Thy will be done."
and to remember that "What I do
now, ye know not, but ye shall know
hereafter." The family'. has the
heart-felt sympathy; of the co:nmu
nity.
There was not quite as clean a
sweep of Jordan during the;week of
the meeting as you were informed,
Mr. Editor, though a good many
were changed from their wayward
ness, more than one remains "un
captured."
Jordan is quieti..and peaceful,
slowlyv'and unostentatiously .moving
onward. Some of the recent addi
tions for our convenience are good
pa.-senger accommodations on our
railroad; new depot just completed,
express office, morning and evening
mail and the completion of the Meth
odist parsonage, where we now have
our preacher right in our midst.
Rain has been plentiful here of late
and in consequence oats are looking
fine. Corn is growing and we are
getting fine stands of cotton and
grass simultaneously, and, I'm afraid,
inseparably,
