May win, but in case he don't, what will become of all our many plans for doing this and doing that? Our advise to you is to buy your dry goods now while every. thing is at such a reasonable cost. Goods were never as cheap as they are to-day and it is a conceded fact, and a fact that is sure to follow as your left foot follows your right when you walk, that no matter who is elected goods and everything else will ad vance in price from what they are to-day. The reason, there is but one, the manu facturers of merchandise claim that as it is now everything is uncertain at present, they don't know what kind of money they ae going to be paid for their merchandise. When -c-e or the other is elected they claim they will know precisely what to do. We, The Diamond Racket Store of SumterS. C., have bought everything at the botton of the market and we are selling in the same pro portition as long as the goods last. We buy for cash and in this way we take ad vantage of every ailable discount thereby get fne goods far cheaper than merchants who buy on time and we are selling our goods In proportion to the way they were bought. The proportion being far cheaper than other merchants as the following will show: Matces at 4 doz boxes, paper of pins at Ic, paper best needles at same pri. Just received another 5000 yards worsted plaid and duchess suitings in all shades that we are selling at the rediculons. ly low price of five cents a yard. Don't mis take the place, opposite bank of Sumter. The construction placed upon an editorial of ours, in which we aiuded to the conspirators who conspired to defeat Governor Evans, is altogether wrong. We did not refer to the thous ands of Reformers that voted for Judge Earle at all, we meant the clique whichflhled the public mind full of suspicion against the governor. It would be foolish indeed, in us to un dertake to read out of* the reform ranks those who voted for Judge Earle, when we are aware of the fact that many good and loyal Reformers voted against the governor because, they preferred Judge Earle for the high position of United States Sena tor. The parties referred to by us as "conspirators" are such as bandedj voters by making the impression that the governor was guilty of mis-con duct. We said then, and we say again, if Governor Evans proves him self innocent of the charges made against him by his opponents in the Reform ranks,-he cannot with self respect remain in the same political househohl with them. If the gover-1 -nor is an innocent man and we be- 2 lieve he is, thesparties that filled the public mind with suspicion against him, did so for the purpose of bring ing about his defeat and in ouri humble judgment, the overthrow of 1 the Reform faction. The Reform movement gave to~the people a direct primary which en abled'them to vote for whom they pleased, and we have no quarrel with the Reformers who voted for Judgei Earle; they had a right to do so, it was their privilege, and in voting for Judge Earle they voted for a man who will ably represent the State in the national council. The complaint we make is not against the voters,i but against the men who Governor < -Evans had a right to expect support< from, and who by unfair and deceiv ing methods did all in their power to crush him with slander and misrepre sentation. We cannot see how Gov-1 ernor Evans can with consistency have political a~iliation with J. T. ' Duncan and those who aided him, if he is not guilty of the charges made by Duncanfor it looks to us like a case of oil and water which cannot mix. It however, Mr. Duncan and his friends prove the charges against the governor, then they should be accorded the well done of the people and the Governor must seek other abselter elsewhere, but if they fail,and the governor shows clean hands, it is I hardly reasonable to expect the Re. form masses to have confidence in such men in the future and the soon er they are dumped the better it will I be for the Reform faction. At first we were inclined to the I opinion that the defeat of Governor Evans meant a disintregration of the Reform party, but we do not hold to that view now, because we have seen indications already which convinces us that the Reforn faction is all right, and only needs a little careful man agemnent to make it as strong as it ever was. When the General Assembly con venes and it makes a thorough in vestigation of the charges made 1 during the campaign, and it punishes I those who are guilty of' wrong-doing, regardless of who they are, the peo ple will be satisfied. And as Gover nor Evans was made the target in the campaign and he receives a com plete exoneration from the General Assembly the people will demand that justice be done him and all the power of the politicians combined, will not be able to prevent his again coming to the front and becoming a leader. As a rule we do not favor a prop osition to increase taxes, but on the question of building a new jail, we must favor the proposition. The present jail is totally unfit for the incarceration of a human being; and it is so arranged and constructed that it is impossible to make it com fortable. We think the people are fully informed as to the condition of Clarendon's jail; nearly every grand jury for years has made its complaint to the courts. At the last session of the Legislature an act was passed leaving it to the people to say whether or not they were willing to be taxed.to build a new jail, and at the election a separate! box will be provided for that purpose. Human ity demands that unfortunate creat ures be comfortably cared for and it often happens that a man is placed in the jail innocent of the crime charged. We hope the people will cast their votes in favor of the proposition. Hon. JohnL. McLaurin, is in great demand to discuss the national issues. Mr, J. H. Moore, the Register's Char leston correspondent wants the silver tongued orator, of the Pee Dee, to talk silver to the Charleston goldites. It will be remembered that some time. ago McLaurin issued a challenge to the News and Courier to produce a gold-standard man to have a joint discussion in Charleston, but so far the challenge has not been accepted. We hope az opportunity will be given our Congressman to talk silver in the City by the Sea and we believe that the result will be a victory for the Democratic cause. If the News and Courier cannot be induced to put up a man, what's the matter with friend Ball of the Post. We make the prediction thatiHon. John A. Brezeale, of Anderson, will succeed Judge Earle on the bench and a more worthy selection could not be made by the General As sembly. Judge L. D. Witherspoon has an nounced that he will not stand for re-election, which no doubt, will make some aspirants happy. PULL TOGETH New EnterprisesN Build Up Our Tow lzingxome In -- Home ar. If there is a town that needs mann tacturing enterprises it is Manning diversified Industries, even If they aire sinall. Henry Grady, in writing uip a funeral, once said, "The coffin was made in Maine, the shroud in Kfassachusetts, and all that was fur iashed at home was the corpse and he hole in the ground." There are hundreds of things arought here which caia be made at iome and save to the buyers the lost of freights and other expenses. All that Is necessary to build up a own is for the people of the town to mil together, drop selfishness and go o work for the town's general up milding. Then when an enterprise s started, give it every encourage nent. Manning can, if it will, make ome less enterprising community do :he furnishing of the "corpse and the ole in the ground." The man who avests his capital, however little, in ro this community, deserves encour Lgement. The success of small enterprises de reloparge ones, which in turn, pro notes the prosperity and aids every ranch of business. It is our duty, also, to lend a help. ng hand whenever we have any pur hases to make, to our home mer ~hants. They- are anchored here ~mong us and their capital is invest. d here, and- they deserve preference, lways. The same might be said of he mechanics; if there is any work obe done our home mechanics hould be first spoken to and given au opportunity to do the work. In his way and with such a spirit, the own Is bound to prosper, for, after 1. the pull-together spirit is the iidden secret of the prosperity of very business town.1 TAE or Omro, Crrr on Toano Lucas Couzarr.
