Every voter in the State who has taken the trouble to watch the poli tical chess boardeannot help but see the danger which confronts the Re form movement. Look at it as you will and it becomes more evident that the Conservatives are not as indiffer ent towards Judge Earlejas some pre tend to be. In Samler last week we were told that since Judge Earle struck Governor Evans it washed him of his sins against the Conservatives and they will support him, hoping it will break the back of Tillman and the Reform cause. We expressed the opinion some time ago that eight out of ten Con servatives would vote for Earle in spite of their pretended indifference and in visiting various towns we find no reason to change our views. The Conservatives do not like Earle, but -they think it good politics to vote for him, hoping that a sufficient number . of Reformers will join them to defeat Tillman's trusted lieutenant. If Till man was not supposed to be in favor of John Gary Evans, the Conserva tives would prefer him to Earle, be cause they can not help but admire a good sticker even if they have to go to their opponents to find him; they detest aman who will make a fight and when hicked,turn around to make fair weather with his conquerors for the sake of position. In 1890 Judge Earle went to every stump declaring the Shell manifesto to be a lie from beginning to endland now when he is twitted with his own utterances he modifies and says the manifesto was false as far as official corruption in 'is office was concerned. If the mani - esto issued forth by the leaders of the Reform movement was a lie, then it must be a lie to-day; the fact that Judge Earle wants another ofice has not changed one word or declaration in that historic instrument. As thetimne draws near to the primary some of theConservatives become more bold; at first they declared they would not vote for Earle under any circum stances,now they are beginning to say that Earle is the ablest man and for that reasonl they will cast their votes for him, and some of the more ex treme kind will come out and say that they will vote for him because he struck Evans. Ifitwas not the purpose of these Conservatives to deceive the Reform ers, why did they declare they would not support him when he first came out? He is no abler to-day than he was the day he made his andbunce ment with its "I-will-supplement Tillman's-efforts-frills," nor is his position any better un derbtood. We believe the tactics of the opposition will fail of its purpose,for the reason that as soon as the Reformers discover the Conser vative faction are, as a faction, going to support Judge Earle, those who are inclined to give him their. support will come back and stand true to the colors under which they have been fighting the past six years. We have no hesitancy in saying that the Con servatives are going to support Earle and there is considerable feeling in their support; as a little incident with us will prove. The Times had a cor respondent in a near village, and he, of course, had been reading some of our editorials; this gentleman belongs to the Conservative faction, he had nothing to do with the editorial pol icy of the paper, his part was to send us the news whenever he felt so dis posed, and we will say to his credit that we valued his letters, because they were well written, reliable, and full of interesting items. It seems that our editorial utterances were too strong for him and he sent us notice that he would not correspond for us any longer. In his letter he uses the fol lowing language: "What little in terest I take in politics is so widely divergent in character from yours that I can not with any pleasure con tribute to your paper. Your last at tack on Judge Earle was so blindly partial that it has precipitated my action." We quote the language used in the letter merely to back up the opin ion we have already published. Here is a gentleman who takes little in terest in politics, and who occasional ly' sends a news letter to his county paper;that because the editorials in that paper does not handle the can didate of his faction with kid gloves he throws down his pencil and with draws his contributions. The little interest he takes in politics is about the same kind of a "little interest" eight out of ten of his faction will take, and we say to the Reformers that if they want to support Judge Earle they have a xight to do so, but they must do it with their eyes open; they shall not, if we can help it, be fooled into believing that the Con servatives have laid down their arms. The are up and doing and their pres ent plan is to break the- Reform lines with a flank movement. We admit there are some Conservatives who will not support Earle and who have laid aside factional prejudice,but these are few and far between. If the Reform eaare ready to surrender what they have gained, then those feeling that way should come square out and re pudiate what they have done since 1890 and apologize for it. But if they want the movement to go on, grow, and be stronger, they should stand by the leaders who they put forward. John Gary Evans is the only candidate for the United States Senate that has been at all conspic ous in pushing through the Reform measures. The records of the Gen eral Assembly will clearly show who it was that did the fighting on the foors of the General Assembly; it was J.ohn Gary Evans who was en trusted with every important meas ure that Goyernor Tillman wanted put through, and he had no bed of roses to sleep on either. He showed his ability as a legislator when in his masterly debates in the house against John C. Haskell, his voice went ring ing through that hall, and by the hardest kind of parlimientary battles he pushed to success the demands of the people. Then afterwards in the Senate chamber Evans, was day after day met in oratorical combat and van quished such able orators and states men as A. T1. Smnythe, Buist, Moses, Barniwell, Mower, and others. Shall we now turn our backs upon such a leader because men who are aspiring for the same position are making charges by insinuation which they cnnot or do they attempt to prove? Even the impression sought to be made by Duncan that Evans was mixed up in the whiskey rebates has fallen flat. Commissioner Mixson, who is said to be opposed to Govar nor Evans, denounces that insinua tion, and as to the bond business we believe every reasonable unpre judiced man will say the Governor has made a perfect explanation, and one which clearly shows that there is not even a taint of corruption in his connection with the bond matter The Conservatives have about come to that conclusion and have stopped asking "who got the commnissio s' We should not cast aside our leaders to give place to those who come up after the fight has been won. Let us go to the primary election and cast our votes for John Gary Evans for the United States Senate so that we can be certain,that we will have two men in that chamber who have shown by their works that they have the Reform principles at heart in spite of the raalicious attempts of enemies to obstruct them and destroy their IUBBELL OFFERED NO BRIBE. At the Barnwell meeting Duncan ntimated that Mixson, the liquor :ommissioner, was offered a bribe rom Secretary Hubbell, of the Mill Creek Distilling Company. Mr. Hub. bell catue out in a card denying and denouncing the statement as abso lutely false. Commissioner Misson also came out in an explanatory letter and winds it up by denouncit~g Mr. Hubbell should he deny what Mixson; stated. A careful reading of Mixson's letter will not sustain Duncan,in that Hubbell attempted to bribe Mixson, but shows that Hubbell was connect ed with a trust and to comply with Mixson's wishes be would be break ing an agreement, but that lie was willing to break the agreement if Mixson would not make it a matter af record by having it put on the in voices. There is nothing in Mixson's tatement to show that Hubbell of fered him any money for his personal se; the amount of rebates Mixson required he w as willing to give, but wanted to pay it in cash so the other nerr-ocrR of the svndicate would not ir.d out that ~:c had broken his agree nent with them. 7ubbell, from Mix ion's own statemen.. does not say ;hat the rebate he edfered was to go o Mixson, he merely says that Hub ell said "he coi.ld not pat the dis ount on the invoices and .t show up -egularly; that he was a uember of he trust, but for me to pay the in ,oices at the regular price of $2.25 per gallon and he would return me ;he 10 per cent off in cash." Mr diison says "this he refused to do mnd no purchase has been made from uim by me." We see no cause for Mr. Mixson, who is "jealous of his honor" tothrow up his saintly hands in horror at Mr. Hubbell's proposit.on; it is one made every day in business where competi tion is close and the parties anxious to sell,happens to be hampered with be ing in a combination or trust. Now, if Hubbell had said to Mimson, "I will give you a precentage if you will give me the order," then it would have been a base proposition, but bis offer as made to Mixson was one which he required; and Hubbell was trying to screen himself from the trust that he had an agreement with. Mixson could have made the purchase in Hubbell's own way and the State need not have lost one cent of the rebate either. There has been a great deal of rot shoved off on the public about this dispensary business and we think that there should be someiway of get ting at the proof; if any stealing has been, and is going on. A lot of sus picious whisperings were indulged in about one year ago, wvhen a reporter struck up with 3. W. Mixson, a son of the commissioner, at the Denison Hotel in Cincinnati. This reporter obtained an interview from the son of Liquor Commissioner Mixson and queries went the rounds to know what "little Mix" was doing out there. Some one suggested that he went out there to show that he no longer totes the Georgia mark, and others said it was to chew gum and smoke cigar ettes, while others still were, slander ous enough to say that he carried with him a "please pay the bearer" cre dential- Of course, it is not the friends of the dispensary law, who are creating sil of these suspicions, for it is to their interests to bring the management as well as the law into disrepute, but when these suspicions are being whispered about the State and the governor concludes that it is best for the law, and the Reform cause to take the purchasing power away from the Commissioner, and the control of the dispensary out of the hands of the State officers, it should give offense to the commissioner and to sone of the members of the board of control; then the question natural ly arises why shonld they become of fended? The friends of the governor can not -understand why his asking for a change in the law should give such mortal offense to Colonel Mixson and Colonel Tompkins that they are classed as being among the gover nor's bitterest enemies. If our recol lection is correct, Governor Evans voted to make Mixson State commis sioner and it is but natural that he would, out of gratitude support the man who befriended him when he was carrying the Georgia mark. Aside from taking offense at the governor's action in removing him from the board of control Colonel Tompkins has an excuse for not sup porting Governor Evans. Mr. Dun can is his son-in-law and it is natural for a man to prefer aiding those near est to him,but what we cannot under stand, is why Colonel Tompkins was opposed to the governor before his son-in-law entered the race, unless it was on account of the governor's action in wanting him off of the dis pensary board. Tompkins andl Evans were intimate friends before that af fair, in fact, we are under the inmpres sion they are related and have been pulling in the sameo political traces. Notwithstanding this, it is said that after the governor wanted the change in the dispensary board Colonel Tompkins and Colonel Mixson were quietly active in trying to defeat Evans for the Senate, at the same time the governor was believing he ad the support of both of them. Corporation Counsel Thompson for the city of Florence furnished to the city council of that city a very elabor ate opinion as to whether Governor Fvans was subject to arrest. He de cides that Governor Evans when in Florence was a private Individual and not governor, and therefore sub ject to arrest the sane as any other person. We will not presume to say whether Lawyer Thompson is right or wrong, but we will say that a read ing of the paper purporting to be a legal opinion will show more venom to the line than any attack heretofore made by the governor's bitterest en emies, and consequently, it will have about qs much weight with the pub lie, as did Haskell's confession about advising his clients to bribe legisla tion. A legal oninion and an attack filled with vituperation and abuse ae by no means the samie,and should be as far apart as the poles. if Lawyer Thompson wanted to make a political harangue against the governor, he should select some other way than through a legal opinion. He suld have rented a hall with a ],ud tiger attachment. His conduct has the ap pearence of bushw:.cking. The News and Cr urier is a strong gold standard newzpaper and it re fuses to advise the people to vote for Bryan and S'.wall, yet it advocates the election cf Judge Earle. Why is this? Remember it has been asserted tht the gold men would use efforts to defeat John Gary Evans, because they think Tillman wants him as his lieutenant in the Senate. They know that Evans was the trusted aid of Tillman in all important measures affecting the Reform cause-hence their bate. Duncan thought he made -a ten strike when he charged Evans with voting for Judge Wallace. But Evans was not ashamed of the part he played in that electipn, and very promptly replied that he would vote for Judge Wallace again. When Evans voted to place Judge Wallace upon the supreine bench he voted for a patriot, soldier and gentleman and we think his defeat was one of the mistakes of the Reform cause. Does Duncan tote a razor? What made him put his band on his hip pocket when he turned on Governor Evans at Union last Monday. We are glad the governor paid no attention to him. Duncan at last. has had it to dawn upon him, that the people are on to his and Whitman's racket. It would be well for both Duncan and Whitman,' when the campaign is over to swear off from politics and go to fiddling on cord wood with an able bodied buck -saw, the occupation would suit their dispositions and the exercise will prove very beneficial to such dyspeptics. State Constable Newbold has haa enough to exasperate him, but the telegram he sent to Duncan, warning him not to use his name on the stump was a bad break. It gave Duncan capital and an opportunity to cry persecution and to play the role of a fellow who don't scare. It would have been better had Newbold warn ed Duncan privately and if he per sisted in using his name, he could then have held him to account pri vately without giving him a chance to make political capital. It is the duty of an editor to point out matters concerning the people and for him to make such suggestions as iu his judgemaent is best for the public good. When hie does this, it is for the people to consider the views of the editor and if they think lie is right to stand by him; but if they think him wrong, no matter how popular lie may be personally, it is their duty to disagree with him, and no sensible editor will blame them.

If our farmer friends wi] think for a moment they cal soon see the advantage of hav ing a market near them. I the first place they can sav considerable in a season i time alone, and as "time i money," time saved is mone; made. In the second place, market near hoine is conver ient because farmers can easi ly receive information as t prices, best time for selling &c. Then, another advantage i knowing the men with whoi you deal. Farmers knoi better the men with whoi they have been dealing, an if their business have been c lona standing, there is a mu tual confidence existing whic' makes it more pleasant fc home folks to deal with eac: other. In fact, there are man; reasons why farmers shoul assist in building a home mai ket. Manning will try hari to build up a first-class tobac co market. Let the farmer co-operate with the men wh expect to work for their in terest. Tobacco men of experiene tell us that it is quite impoi tant that farmers should as sort and tie their tobacco a soon after curing as possible Remember, too, that it is ne< essary that care should b taken in the work, and farn ers who have no experience i grading tobacco should see the advice and help of somn one who knows how it ough to be done. The Clarendon Tobacc Warehouse and Supply Com pany have received the set vices of Col. G. E. Webb,< Winston, N. C., to assist ther in organizing and starting th market. Col. Webb has mor than twenty years' experienc in the warehouse business an< is now connected with th largest tobacco warehouse i: the Old North State.. It wi] be remembered by many c the farmers in this sectio1 that Col. Webb started th, Timmonsville market las year. He is said by all to bacco men who know him ti be the best tobacco auctionee in the world. T he Clarendon T ob a c, Warehouse Co., have decide' to have their opening sale Fri day, August 2 1st. Farmers wvi] do well to remember this date and to bring a load of good tc bacco on that day. Arrangements are b e i n:; made to have a large numbe of buyers from all the impor tant tobacco markets in N. C and Virginia, and Col. U. E Webb, of Winston, N. C., thi veteran warehousemnan and to bacco auctioneer, will be o1 hand to see that farmers re ceive market price for thei: tobacco. Everybody come, an< see the way a first-class tobac co sale is conducted. August the 21st is the date Manning, S. C., is the place Don't forget it. Remember farmers, it is t< our interest to patronize you: home market.. Tobacco farmers, kee'p sarp lookout for Manning. [candidates' Cards.] FOR COUNTY SUPERVISOR.
