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.

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.

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
