JUDGE EARLE'S SUiCIDE. -At last thie bide-and-seek game of Judge Earle has stopped and he is out in an address in to-day's Newis and Courier. Last Monday one of 'his friends was here and tiled a -pledge for him; a little later said pledge was withdrawn as per instruc tions from Judge Earle, and still later the pledge was renewed, why we cannot say. In the address re ferred to "I-will-and-I-won't" fails to say a word abou r to *Senator Irby, written th reference to this matter. Not a hint is there in that add - t he wrote to his ohn Irby about this race be fore -any explanation on the bond matter came from Governor Evans, and in fact before the insinuation re flecting on the Governor came out in the New York Times. Not one word is there in the address to sy why he has taken Cousin John Irby's place in the fight, nor does he give any reason why Cousin John flunked. We expect to pay our re spects to Judge Earle a little later and we also expect to hammer some nails into his political coffin. I-will and-I-wont-Earle has disappointed not only his former friends, but he has also betrayed the new friends who picked him up out of the politi cal gutter, washed his face and gave him political respectibility, but we will make him feel it regai-dless of the whine he puts up in the address, "I am in accord with Senator Tillman in the positions assumed by him in the Senate, and if elected I shall sup plement his able efforts to protect the rights of the people with such power as I may have and with all the ear nestness of my nature." Talk about coat-tail swinging, what is this? Judge Earle has forgotten that'Till wan's coat-tail has been sent out West and it will not be back until after the Presidential election. Poor Earl, we pity him, and if we could have a mixture prepared as an anti dote for -'Cereboo swingiasis coat tailibus" we would surely beg him to take it until cured of his dreadful greed for office. There was a time when Earl.e was "fit to wear a crown" and when he was looked upon as the noblest Roman of them all, but now "I would rather boe a dog and bay the moon than such a Roman." Judge Earle, do not besmirch the ermine given you by the people, by entering a political scramble for of fice. If you will be greedy and will be a politician, for the sake of decen cy throw down the ermine that it may not become soiled. Resign! Resign ! Resign ! If Judge Earle is a candidate for the high office of Senator why has he not the manhood to make his fight without piteously appealing for a place on Tillman's coat-tail? He should have stated his views on the issues in a clear man mer and then gone before the people with his claims, but this no man will do afficted as Judge Earle appears to be until he has become fully inoculated with turnias~ loosibu~s Benibust-ques coattaitiriumn. This remedy is pre pared by a class living on the farms and in the workshops who work and sweat for a living and they are known to the world at large as the "wool hat boys," and the sooner Judge Earle seeks the remedy the better it will be for him and his will-and-I wont political policy. * * * * It has been for the past two years our desire to heal up iactional differ ences and we hope there will be noting in this campaign to cause us to appeal to factional prejudices, but we say that John Gary Evans is the true representative of the Reform movement now before the people and that his defeat would mean nothing more nor less than a repudiation of the policy pursued the past six years by the people and carried out by Ben Tillman, the greatest Cormnoner of the age. All this stuff about the bond deal is political clap-trap to cause suspicion in the minds of the people. If the records prove any thing they prove that Governor Till man and Treasurer Bates saved to the State in refunding the State debt thousands and thousands of dollars in spite of the malicious attempts to thwart them and to destroy the State's credit. The record also proves that John Gary Evans, before he was governor, became one of the attorneys for one of the brokers who had the placing of the bonds; that his connection with this broker was long before he was governor and per fectly legitimate and proper, and that when he was nominated to the high office of governor he divorced him self from all law practice. The record clearly shows that Lawyer Evans did not become connected with the case until after the State had completed the transaction and that he was employed to help the broker to collect his commissions from the syndicate that had the commissions locked 'up under an injunction pend ing a law-suit in which the heirs of a deceased member of the syndicate was interested. It is not a matter that the State has one cent of interest in and never had, and all this hulla balloo is nothing but John Gary Evan's enemies beating tomtoms to defeat him. Tillman is in the Sen ate and he is a terror there, and with such an able lieutenant as the gov ernor, well might the gold-bugs buy up opposition. We say to our readers that if John Gary Evans is a thief, as his enemies would have us believe, why in the name of common sense do they not come out and make a direct charge and not get some irresponsible indi vidual to go about with insinuations. Evans will succeed Irby in the Sen ate and his enemies had just as well content themselves with it in spite of Duncan's insinuations and Earle's ap plication for a little place on Till man's coat-tail. It was a strange spectacle here last Monday to see the number of promi nent men who were nursing their aspirations. Some came to enter the Senatorial race if the governor did not give a satisfactory explana tion; the governor satisfied them and they gave up the ghost. Then there was another set here to induce John McLaurin to (give up the Congres sional race to tackle the governor and each one of these had a pledge in his pocket ready to jump in McLauru's place, but Johnnie was not playing -'somebody's fool" and he did not en ter the Senatorial fight. One of the men insisting on McLaurin to go in to the Senatorial fight was the indi vidual that wrote the Marion resolu tions wanting a conference to put forward a Congressman, and this man stood ready to enter a Congressional pledge. But oh! the disappointment when Johnnie could not be .allured away from the people w~io-love to honor him. The gang of M' rs that were here us~'i of a lot of hungry a seeking for prey to devour, bt John Gary Evans knocked the props from unlder their aspirations, and Johnnie McLaurin was too shrewd to be taken off of his feet by the cyclone of promises from people who had nothing but promises to give. He has lived too long in this world to now be seduced into feasting on wind pudding. If McLaurin had listened to the Reformers who wanted to make room for themselves and the Conservatives who wanted the "fur fly" and it matters not whose fur as long as it was a Reformer's, he would have been knifed by the former and laughed at by the latter. SILVER IN SALEM. New Zion, June 16.-A few days Mr. L. P. Hardy, of New Zion, found fifty cents in silver in his field. He can't account for it unless it rained down last week. He is plowing deep to see if he can't find more and B. M. Hardy and WV. L. Gowdy arc trying nets to catch all that falls~ in the niext rain. Look out, boys, for free silver, for it is raining down. Three or four boys called on Mr. H. G. Dennis, of New Zion, to go rabbit hunting in his corn field and say that their dogs got lost and can't be found. Salem's corn, cotton, and tobacco are very fine. Mr. WV. E. Flemming, of Newv Zion, who has been living the bachelor's life for about five 3 ears, has just com pleted a nice little cottage. It is thought that he is going to get mar ried some time soon. Since the heavy rain the past week General Green has come to see us all, and I think, made his visit a little too long at J. E. Green's But 3. E. Green can't insult General Green; nothing can now, except old Jack Frost, for he has let him stay too long, so long until it feels like home to him. Mr. J. W. Kennedy, of New Zion, has a small patch of tobacco that is very fine. It will average waist high and the leaves will measure in width sixteen to eighteen inches and in height about twenty to thirty inches. This tobacco was set out the 25th of April. He gave it to his girls and it never did wilt, so we can account for Mr. Kennedy's fine tobacco. It is said that Mr. A. 0. Hudson, of New Z.'n has one of the finest chufa patches in thbe county. Mr. John Henry DuBose, of New Zion, is very ill. WVe hope to see him up again soon. JOHNNIE BiowN. HEADQUARTERS MANNING GUAnDs, MANNISG, 8. C..

RELIGIOUS THOUGHTS. BY REV. J. 0. GouGTG. MANNN". THE TEMPERANCE MOVE'- LN ". 'There has been organid in 0.; town a "Gospel Teipe-rance. Ln nba. We were glad to see so unI out a its first meeting last Suundy rcr. noon. And while this work in iis organized form is new to the :mostf us, -%et we expect. great things fr :nm it. At these meetings the music will be as lively and as attractive as p sible, and all the services vn ill i he~ very long. We believe that tbis ew organization tills a lou; felt vacancy in our community. Some t;:cre are who believe and feel that the vhi:skey business is one of the greyaest driw backs to the onword progress of Christianity, and in many case:: it throttles the influence of the church. The time has come when Chrisian people need to be aroused to this great evil. How long will the soldiers of Christ allow the greatest enecmyI to their cause to exist aiongby the side of the church and they on as good tormw with the agencies of the enemy as with the church. The lines need to be drawn between the church and the world and when a so-called Christ ian allows his influence to fall on the side of whiskey, let Christian senti ment rise so strongly that he will feel an eternal disgrace to be thus en gaged. It is the intention of the Gospel Temperance Union, not to fight the dispensary as such, but its great object shall be to carry out its prime meaning, that of trying to arouse Christian sentiment against this evil. It is called "Gospel Tem perance Union," because the people want to see what the Bible says about dram-drinking, and the duty of Christians in this matter. This organization, as I understand it, is not political in any sense of the word. It is the church fulfilling one of her God-given missions. I knew of nothing in all the range of sin and crime that does so much injury to the cause of Christ and the least in terest of humanity as whiskey. Think of about seventy thousand precious souls going into an untimely grave every year, yes, down to a diunkard's hell through the influence of strong drink. Think of ifteen hundred or two thousand dollars going into the hands of our own dispensary from the poorer class of people in our own coiu munity, spending that which God has given them for that which God most dislikes. Drinking, cursing, gam bling, murdering, while feasting on the devil's wine. The hand of God is written on the wall, "No drunkard shall enter the Kingdom of Heaven." Also one interested in humanity, and who wvould like to see whiskey banished from our midst, and see Christian sentiment i-ise above this shame and disgiace we would be glad to see you at the Methodist church next Friday evening at 8:30. Let every man, wonma,. boy and girl go to tee Methodist chur-ch next Friday night at half-past eight. Let the. brothers and sisters; of thne Baptist church bear in mind that they are most earnestly requested to be present next Sunday inorning at and hear the report of our building conumittee. The church is near c*.n. pletiou anu they wish to mjaiie their report to a large audience. Don't forget the "Piesen Thiugs' at the Institute next Thursday after noon. Rev. Ewond Wells, of Charleston, will entertain everybody who will go to go the Institute hall next Thurs day evening at 8:30. lie will have something to show you and also soeting to say to you. Everybody is invited, seats free to all denomuina tions. We regret to hear so many of our candidates express themselves as "Prohibition will not prohibit." It will prohibit if enforced. No lawv ol our State will prohibit crime, unless that lawv is enforced. Try- as hardi to enforce prohibition as you do tihe law of theft or rape, and see if it does not prohibit. The truth of the business is a large majority of humanity do not want it to prohibit. Personal liberty is the old cry, men want liberty to destroy their lives and usefulness, not to build up and make the very most of self.

It is a foolish policy to swa ses while crossing a stream, ai The Register does not believe the voters of the Sixth Dis trict will pursue any such policy, They have tried John MeLaurin, and he has not been found wanting. He has been absolutely faithful to the trust reposed in him, and has battled for the interests of the masses with conspicuous ability. As a speaker on public questions, he has few equals and no superiors in South Carolina. On the stump be is invincible, as those who have met him there can testify. The Register ois nt believe there is 1 single flaw in his Congressional re cord to which Mr. Evans can point as al reasoU for his jetireinent and fails to see on what grounds he can justify hi.; candidaev---save a desire for the otice. Can Mr. Evans do better work for the cause of silver and the interests of the people of the Sixth thanlL has been done by John Mc Laurin? Even admitting that he can do as well, it will take him several years to gain the experience and in tiuence McLaurin has acquired by his several years' service in the House, so imanifestly the voters of the Sixth would be the losers should they make the exchange of public servants de sired by Mr. Evans. McLaurin is strouger in his District to-day than ever -before, and .will be re-elected no matter who opposes him.-Columbia llegister. CEMETERY MEETING. The Manning Times a week or so agn o containedi a stirring call to the citizens of this town and community, overV the signature of Mr. W. C. C han dle-r.snumoning them to shake off their lethii rgy and leni a helping hand in making the resting place of our dead a little less humuiliating to us iu the eyes of strangers. Although not rceiving the attention such a cal dem . ds, it was -not without rit, :md~ ast weuek fouant few earn es*-~t eieu's in the court house to sta the1 b dl a rolling. It could be ~:eeni from'i the verv beginning that th-- mtin.g meant business, and the chainuan t, Mr. .Joseph Sprott, at once proce--ded to take up the businiess preseuted. It was found that the old charter of incorporation was lost, and that it wvould be necessary t> obtain a new charter; a committee consisting oi Messrs. B. P. Barro:', WV. C. Chan dler and WV. C. Daivis were promptly appointed to look after this matter; they were instructed to name Mr. Josephi Sprott as presiudent and Mr. W. C. Chiar.dler as secretary and treatsurer in the application for char ter. Seeing that this mnight take ai lit tle tniebeforethe charter was secured, it wasi the sense of the meeting that someth ing should be done in the in terum. Accordingly, Mr. Chandler wsrqete:d to issue another' call to all interested in or owning lots in our cemetery on a specitied 'lay, bringing with them laborers to clean their lots, or the equivolEnt of such labor in moner. The question of the need of more grround was carefully gone over and. discussed; it was the opinion of some. who had I exauinedl grounds that a larg"e strip- of !aud could be made u-lfor- urig puriposes by Ilevel. .ng down the dhic bank on the east cru Side of the ceinetery. An offer was made by'. Mr. Wilkins to put this bank in such condition for its use for planting purposes during this suunner, turning thbe samne over to in corp~orators next fall. rThe proposi tion wais accepted. Let every good citizen of this town aini community who has loved ones buried in our midst, or w.ho owns a lot within our cemetery, come to the front noW and aid in making our ceme-tery certainly not less beautiful than those in mauny unincorporated towns and communities in our count v.

Sandy Grove, June 23.-Elsewhere we hear of fine rains, in some places too wet to plow corn. Crops gener ally good. Corn planted in March especially good. Cotton in some sections seems to be it.jured, from some cause, too much rain we sup pose. Tobacco is looking very well, taking in consideration the scarcity of plants till late, therefore it is gen eralI.- small, with a few exceptions. Mr. Jack Welch, of Douglas, has the finest we have seen. Most tobacco that was set very early is said to be buttoning too low, which is often the case. 'We hear of some that will be gin curing next week. Mr. D. Kirby informs us that be has some tobacco with leaves measuring 14x27 inches. Who can beat that ? One of our progressive young farmers who has enjoyed double blessedness for only about three years and who is now expecting an other addition to the family circle, tells his beloved companion if she will present him with a fine son he will give her ten dollars, and if two sons, fifty dollars, but if another daughter he will give her the devil. Boys preferred. We learn that Mr. H. Z. Graham, ex-clerk of court of Williamsburg county, died of typhoid fever this week. Politics is beginning to simmer a little in Salem now.
