REFORMERS, STAND BY YOUR CAUSE. Our political dalculations fell con siderably short of the mark in so far as the Senatorial contest was con cerned. We did not dream that Judge Earle would poll the vote giv en him and like most everybody else, we thought that Governor Evans had a walk-over; but the results proved to the contrary and we now find that the friends of the governor must lay aside their over-confidence and pitch into the workunot for JohnGary Evans, bdt for the existence of the Reform cause. We never had any confidence in the pretended indifference towards Earle by the Conservative faction, but we 'must give them credit for playing a fine game of politics. They first started out a man to stir up the waters, and with his friends they succeeded in throwing a -mysterious cloud over the governor; the cloud was sufficiently murky to deceive crowds of Reformers and the Reformers who saw through the trick, felt.so satisfied the people would see it, as they did, that they paid very little attention to the matter. But the insinuations and hints at corrupt ion had its weight as will be seen by the vote polled last Tuesday. 'Tis *true, Governor Evans led Judge Earle by several thousand; but Dun can received a sufficient pumber of votes t6 keep Evans from obtaining the necessary majority. The opposi tion to Evanstake this as a good "-sign and they propose to strain every ~arve to win, openly claiming that this is the opportune moment to wrest the government out of the hands of Reformers. The Columbia State, after having for weeks used the whip and spur upon its faction to turn out and vote against Evans, is now wild with de light at the prospect to break down the Reform party. The State urges its friends to turn out next Tuesday and down Tillmanism; it scolds its followers for not turning out in the first primary. This same paper, the people will remember, was the mouth piece of every obstacle the Reform party has had from its beginning, and when it failed with its advocacy of Haskellism it took up Popeism and finally lent aid and comfort to radi ealism. When our registration laws were being assailed and scrutinized by the United States Courts, the CJo lumibia State did all in its power to help the radicals; day after day its columns were full of comfort to the enemies of the people. Shall the Re formiers at this time repudiate men who stood manfully by them, be cause such newspapers as the Colum bia State and a few sore-headed and *disgruntled Reformers want them repudiated? We regret very much that the Senatorial contest was not settled in the first race, because it will furnish an opportunity for can dlidates to make deals and trades, but we hope the people will resent any. thing of this sort by regarding their vote for United States Senator as im portant as it is for a local candidate. With us we regard the Senatorial contest more important than the con test for local affairs, because it mat ters not who is elected to fill our local offices the Reform cause can not be' injured, but if we allow . Gary Evans to be defeated it will shake the Refor.. ship in every tim ber and the whole thing will spring a leak and sink. The Columbia State says that Till-. -anim must be downed and calls upon Tilimanites to stultify them selves to destroy that which it took years for them to build. Reformers will you do it? The enemies of the Reform cause have succeeded in em ploying men from the Reform party to throw a cloud of suspicion over Governor Evans and it bad the effect of making many good Reformers vote against him; it was done for that purpose and now what do we find; the Conservatives gloating over the out-come and openly asserting that they will turn out to a man and vote for Earle to defeat Ben Tillman's trusted lieutenant. Let us take a peep at the men from the Reform ranks who had most to do with creating this mysterious cloud of suspicion. Duucan, on every stump, he showed that he was ac tuated from personal spleen; his every utterance was filledI with gall and bitterness and many of his speeches were the rehashing of what appeared in newspapers noted for their hatred to the Reform cause. When John C. Haskell published his insulting letter about Governor Evans, Duncan rolled it u:Ar his tongue as a sweet morsel. He never during the whole of his outrageous campaign make a direct charge, but what he did was by insinuations, the meanest kind of fighting. He said that Misson told him that John Gary Evans said, that Tillmax "lined his pockets with dispensary rebates." Tillman in an interview upon his re turn from a tour through Pennsylva nia said with reference to the matter: "I feel that it is a duty to the people for me to say that if any men have been in fluenced by the statement that Governor Evans said that I lined my pockets oat of the dispensary rebates' that they should be undeceived. I want to say that I stopped while here at the Mansion, as his guest and friend, have never had the slightest faith in the charge, and do not believe that he said it. I have always believed that it was a slander from start to finish and with out any foundation whatever. I believe the people know that I have too much self respect to associate with a man who I be lieved made any such charges against me. I don't believe he ever thought it. much less said it." In conclusion he wanted to say in con nection with a statement published t his morning that he was hands off, that be did not see anyone in Washington to whom he spoke of the Senatorial race, and that any statement from him on the question from Washington was unauthorized. We have no doubt but that a great many people did believe what Dun can said Mixson told him, be cause Mixson has not shown the manhood to either confirm or deny the statement, therefore leaving it under a cloud, and many people were deceived thereby. As for us we do not doubt that Mirson did tell Dun can just what he says he did, but we do not believe there is one word of truth in it as far as John Gary Evans is concerned, and we further believe that if Mixson did make a false state ment to Duncan it was a "stop thief'' cry to withdraw attention from his own acts. A reading of the corres pondence between Mixson and Hub bell of the Mill Creek Distilling Co., will develop the fact, that Mixson does not wear the white robe of in nocence, and it should have the effect of lifting the veil of mystery which Mison and Duncan has sought and partially succeeded in throwing around Governor Evans. It should cause the people to inquire why did Mison wish to injure the Governor if it was not to throw suspicion from himself. Mixson gave out to the people that Mr. Hubbell attempted to bribe him, but with withering scorn he put Hub bell to flight. Hubbell in reply said that Mizson, though a nephew, made propositions to him which he de clined, and from that moment Mixson] became his enemy. All tais may- or may not be true. Governor Evans has nothing whatever to do with it, but the mess was started for political clap-trap, and once started, it has dug down deeper than some of the schemers to ruin Governor Evans and the Reform cause contemplated. When Mixson made a confident of Duncan, if he did so, he had no idea that his own integrity would be called into question. He did not know that his conduct towards Evans opened the eyes of Evan's friends and that they will ferrit out just why Miison started to injure the Govern or by whispering a slander into the ear of a bitter enemy and all of a sud den crawls away and refuses to open his mouth. Can it be that Mixson deliberately slandered the Governor and then be came alarmed at his fiendish conduct ? or is he afraid his own sin is being daily brought to the public gaze ? Mison's game in this affair re minds us of the darkey who had just robbed a hen roost and when taken by surprise and caught, 'he held up both hands, saint-like, and with eyes rolled heavenward, said:- "'Claie, boss, I ain't seed a chicken; it was de odder fellow," but the fellow had a hole in the top of his hat and a chicken's head was sticking out of it. Mison may be as innocent as a babe and the correspondence between him and Hubbell might have result ed in a question of veracity, but Mix son's witness, who is his nephew, has given some very damaging testimony, not against John Gary Evans, not against Hubbell, but against State Commissioner Mixson. Readers, we reproduce the corres pondence and ask if there is a Re former or a Conservative anywhere who will not say that they believe Mix3on's purpose in slandering Evans was to deceive the people, sire to revenge himself because Gov ernor Evans took the purchasing power out of Mixson's hands. Here is what passed between the Mixsons and Hubbell. The Mill Creek Distilling Company. Cincinnati. Aug. 28, 1896. Dear Sir:-Please publish the enclosed letter troi R. U.

MaxsoN. -9 Senator Tillman's relationship to wards Governor Evans has been so misrepresented that the Senator is considerably annoyed thereby. He says that Evans has.been foully and maliciously dealt with, for the pur pose of defeating him and the dis rupting of the Reform cause, and while Senator Tillman does not dic tate to his friends for whom they should vote, he feels that to sit quiet ly down and allow his friend and trusted co-worker slaughtered by misrepresentation, would be a crime against the honest farmers through out the State who are the strong pil lars of the great Reform cause. Till man says that John Gary Evans has been true in every position he has held and the fact of Tillman going to him in his hour of peril and stay iig with him is proof sufficient that Tillrnan wants his friends to support Governor Evans. To repudiate Evans means repudiation to Tillman and as sure as night follows day the whole Reform structure will go down too. The Earle forces after reading this issue 'will set up the howl that the Times is endeavoring to draw fac tional lines.We admit it, as far as the Senatorial race is concerned, because we find that the Conservatives them selves are drawing the factional lines to take advantage of what they be lieve is a split in the Reform ranks. We are not supporting Evans for the sake of Evans, but our whole heart is in the Reform cause 'and John Gary Evans is the only candidate in the race representing reform principles. The national Democratic com mittee is being besciged with de mands for Senator Tillman to be re turned to Pennsylvania. He made a number of speeches in that State and the common people have been com pletely captured by him as are the people of this State. McLaurin has also become a favorite as a stump speaker and the farmers of Ohio are constantly urging him to return to them to talk free silver and Bryan. In a speech in New York recently, Ex-President Harrison took occasion to attack Senator Tillman and as soon as the Senator read the speech he immediately sent-Harrison a chal lenge for a joint debate. Should H arrison accept, the debate will be one of the great events of the national campaign and our Ben will wipe the earth with the Republican Ben. Every reader of this paper who is a Reformer from principle snould go to work and see that John Gary Evans is elected. Do not let the Reform cause trail in the dust be cause some men holler "step thief" win the evidence is coming that they are the thieves themselves. The men throughout the State whom the people have entrusted with leadership have within the last few days seen the necessity of undo ing the damage to the reform cause done by men who have personal griev ances to avenge. A TIELY REhiINDER. Each season forces upon our considera tion its own pecutiac perils to health. The a.vent of fall finds many reduced in stength and vigor, poorly prepared to continue the business of life. The atom ach and bowels, the great highway of ani mal economy, is especially liable to disor der in the fall. The nervous system ha also suffered in the struggle. Typhoid fe ver and malaria in particular find in the fall that combination of earth, air and was ter that mark this season as especially dangerous. The falling leaves, the decay ing vegetables, contribute their share of contamination. Hood's Sarsaparilla fur nishes a most valuable safeguardi at these important points, and should be used in the fall before serious sickness has laid you THE LATE JAMES M. TURNER ON THE FINANCIAL POLICY OF THE REPUBLICAN PARTY. Of the many distinguished Repub licans who promptly repudiated the gold plank of the St. Louis platform, none spoke with greater empbasis and power than the Hon. James M. Turner, of Michigan. Immediate ly after the "revolt" of the Detroit Tribune Mr. Turner wrote to that able paper the following letter: To the Editor: I believe that you fairly expressed the sentiments of three-fourths of the republicans of the State of Michigan in your able editorial of this date on the financial plank of the St. Louis platforni,wbich is the culminating imfamy of this age. Four %ears ago the party made a platfoi n at Minneapolis which was in accord with all former platforms, and told us iv effect to go forth and preach the doctrine of bimetallism and protection which has always been taugut by the republican party. Now, in 1896, the men who ad hered to that doctrine are to be con sidered without the pale of the party. It only goes to show that organized selfishness and greed are in the sad dle and with the aid of foreign syndi cates expect to run the country as it has been run for the past four years, only the troubles and distress of the common people will, of course, be in tensified. When Vanderbilt sent his hired man, Depew, up to Detroit, to the last state convention of the republi can party to instruct the party in Michigan how Vanderbilt and his plutocratic friends desired the party platform to be formed, it boded no good to the plain people, and I noticed that when it came to the selection of the delegates to the St. Louis convention, with the one excep tion of one colored man, no one but gentleman interested in banks were permitted to go as delegates. DISHONEsT TO FARMERS. Although in the past perhaps one-half of the republican votes of Michigan have come from the farmers, not a single farmer or a representa tive of the producers of Michigan was permitted to go upon the delegation. Even Cyrus G. Luce, whom the peo ple have delighted to honor and "the greatest Roman of them all," was promptly turned down for a pot-house politician and banker in order that no mistake in the programe could be* made at St. Louis. Gentleman so intent upon adopt ing the ever increasing gold standard of value seem to lose sight of the fact that whenever the money is put up the property and all products are correspondingly put down, and that there is 42 times as much property to go down as there is money to go up. It can readily be seen from tlis which would promote the greatest good to the greatest number. Mich igan farmers believe in honest money; they also believe in honest prices, but they have seen little of the latter of late years. They have been raising honest wheat and corn and oats and potatoes, bat they have received dishonest prices for them because they have measured of late by the gold standard which is rapidly pauperizing the pro ducers of this country. An attempt was made at St. Louis to convince the people that the McKinley idea alone would restore prosperity; but Michigan farmers will remember that in the distress of the past few years a great portion of the time the Mc kinley bill was in full force, but with out a circulating medium to do the business of the country it afforded but little relief.. The reports of our Secretary of State show that since the last report tenant farmers have increased in the south tier of counties to the number 6,533. This indicates something of the process that is goiug on here in Michigan. Republicans have charged Cleveland and Carlisle with the res ponsibility of this condition for their imfamious financial policy, and the arraignment at St. Louis of this ad ministration is most scatching, as it should be; then the converition delib erately indorsed the financial policy inaugurated by Cleveland and Car lisle, of which we have been com plaining. I believe that the people generally want protection, and all parties are now convinced that certainly enough revenue should be raised to pay the expenses of the government; but will life-long Republicans vote their chil dren into slavery for the purpose of insuring protection? Tnat is a ques tion which each man must settle for himself. I was born and bred i Re publican, and have been a Republi can all my life, and I shall preach the doctrine that has been taught to me by the party in the past and not the new departure that was adopted at St. Louis, which I believe if adhered to would be destructive to the best interests of humanity and would in time deprive us of our civilization. We should be able to learn some les sons on this point from history. .SOME AMcI!HI S'RY. The Cleveland and Carlisle plan was tried by the Pbcenicians, bnt un der this system soon went to decay. Greece afterwards tried it and fell a prey to the Roman legions, as its life blood had been sapped. The Ro mans then finally fell an easy victim to the same pernicious system, and now in 1896, it is proposed to try the experiment of following in their foot steps. As a rule men are slow in changing their politics or their religion, and I think the loyal Republicans of the past will hesitate before adopting a new creed, as it is a doctrine that was never heard of before in their party councils. Daniel Webster de clared that "Liberty cannot long en dure in any country where the ten dency is to concentrate the wealth in the hands of the few," and this is the testimony of history. When ancient Egypt fell, 2 per cent. of its people owned 97 per cent. of its wealth. Persia fell when 1 per cent. of the people owned all the land; Babylon when 2 per cent. owned all the wealth and imperial Rome did not sucenmb' until 1,800, persons owned all the known world. The single gold standard was never advanced except for the purpose of making the rich richer and the poor poorer, and is a crime against the republic and against humanity. The St. Louis convention no doubt did the work it was select ed to do. It Wan really not a convention strictly speaking, but a ratification meeting. Mark Hanna of Cleveland and Kohl saat of Chicago and other members of the millionaire syndicate made this platform and nomination months ago and simply went through the form of gathering together the sym pathizers at St. Louis and ratifying the platform of their choice. If the scheme relieves the increas ing want and depression throughout the country, it will receive the bless ing of all good men; but if it fails to do so, as I believe it will, it is but the beginning of the end of the greatest party ever founded upon earth. The coumon people are not in temper to pernait their burdens to be very greatly increased by the single gold standard or any other plutocratic s -heme. Very respectfully, J.AMIs 31. TURNE.IL The primary election of last week brought with it rejoicings to a few and heartaches to many. The suc cessful candidates were naturally made glad and the unsuccessful ones were disappointed. Then there is another set who have yet to learn their fate and they will, after next Tuesday, join either the glad oi the cast down. A primary election puts a man to the test; it gives the people an opportunity to see whether he is one who is afflicted with a political tape-worm or if his professions to them while he was canvassing for votes were genuine. The candidate who after having gone all over the country pleading for votes and failed to get those necessary ingredients to get office must resign himself to his fate and come to the conclusion that the people did not know him as well as he does himself. But when de feated he becomes *sore and dis gruntled and swears that this man or that man knifed him, he may think he is talking to symphathetic ears, but he is not. In nine cases out of ten the people to whom be tells his tale of woe go off and laugh at him, and when he comes out as a candi date again they remember how sore he was before, and they use it to electioneer against him. Immediately after the votes were counted last week the snake-work of election schcmers began and one of their favorite methods was to take a candidate aside and whisper into his ear that a certain candidate had used the political knife on him and that he must in turn get his friends to defeat that man. These schemers may gain a great deal of satisfaction from such methods, but fortunately the average candidate can see through such tactics and will not be fooled thereby. It is really amusing at the pre sumption some people have; they with a bold face approach a man and proceed to play upon his disappoint ment, without for a moment giving the man addressed, credit for having sense enough to see through the game. Why any man who was a candidate in this last election knows the working supporters of every can didate in the field and when one of these supporters' approaches, with a cock and bull story about A having knifed B a thought of curiosity mingled with' contempt must run through the mind of the man ap proached. His curiosity is aroused to know why this haeeler should in this, his hour of defeat become so much interested in his 'health and welfare and he feels a contempt for the man who would so presume upon his manhood and intelligence. We say to the defeated candidates no man is responsible for your de feat; it was a case of choice from many and those who were chosen came into the world under a lucky star. Some day your turn may come, so do not become disheartened and by all means do not let your disap pointment become a running sore to become offeniKve to those who did not, as well as those who did support you. GOOD ROADS AND BRIDGES. Mr. Hudgins Gives His Views and Would Like to Have the Views Of Others. Mr. Editor:-From some remarks I made at Manning on the day of the meeting there in regard to improving the roads and bridges has caused some to be alarmed in case of my election that I wonld ruin the county by running it in debt. For their in formation I would say the supervisor has no authority to create a single debt, nor would the county board have the right to issue a single bond without authority from the Legisla ture which they would not give with out being petitioned by a large ma jority of the free-holders. So there is no cause for alarm, though I will venture the assertion that if every man in the county could be ap proached and asked what he would pay annually to have first-class roads and safe bridges that -the amount would reach ten to fifteen thousand dollars, and they would save money by the investment in time, wear and tear to stock and vehicles. With good roads and bridges in five years your lands would double in value and in ten years your population would double. The county is in the back ground. Why not bring her to the front rank as in former years. We have been waiting for some one to come in with capital. They are not coming and we dont need tllem. There is plenty ere. All it wants is for the people to come together and as one moan take hold and push the county af fairs forward, making the best we can of what we have, and when that is seen help will come. Every man in the county 'should not only take the county paper but some other newspapers to see what is being done in other portions of the State. Then use a quantity of print er's ink; it is a powerful lever in pushing enierprises. Keep your ed itor posted of the progress of your section; it is not only read by the people of your county, but all over the State and out of it, too. I have merely given my views and would be glad to have the views of others on the great, important sub jet of good roads and safe bridges. Most respectfully, R. R. HUJDGLNs. Tobocco Column. The Clarendon Tobacco Warehouse is now open every day and ready to receive to bacco. We guarantee to protect the interest of the farmer at all times. We have the best arranged and best lighted warehouse in the State, and a splendid 1 t with nice dry stables, camp rooms, artesian water, etc. While our house is open and ready at all times to re ceive tobacco, we have decided to have a SPECIAL SALE EVERY WEDNESDAY. E. L. WILKINS, Manager. Tobacco men of experience tell us that it is quite impor tant that farmers should as sort and tie their tobacco as soon after curing as possible. Remember, too, that it is nec essary that care should be taken in the work, and farm ers who have no experience in grading tobacco should seek the advice and help of some one who knows how it ought to be done. The Clarendon Tobacco Warehouse and Supply Com pany have received the ser vices of Col. G-. E. Webb, of Winston, N. C., to assist them in organizing and starting the market. Col. Webb has more than twenty years' experience in the warehouse business and is now connected with the largest tobacco warehouse in the Old North State. It will be rememliered by many of the farmers in this section that Col. Webb started the Timmonsville market last year. He is said by all to bacco men who know him to be the best tobacco auctioneer in the world. T he Clarendon T obacco Warehouse Co., have decided to have their opening sale Fri day, August 21st. Farmers will do well to remember this date, and to bring a load of good to bacco on that day. Arrangements are b e i n g made to have a large number of buyers from all the impor tant tobacco markets in N. C. and Virginia, and Col. G. E. Webb, of Winston, N. C., the veteran warehouseman and to bacco auctioneer, will be on hand to see that farmers re ceive market price for their tobacco. Everybody come, and see the way a first-class tobac o sale is conducted. August the 21st.is the date, Manning, S. C., is the place. Don't forget it. Remember farmers, it is to your interest to patronize your home market. Tobacco farmers, keep a harp lookout for Manning.
