BRYAN'S DEFEAT and McKinlev's election are things of -e past and THE Tiumxs would rejuid its readers that there are much deeper issues o at stake than conjecturing and holding tj post-mortems over what might have been or rehashing the merits of free silver an:1 deno'incing the single gold standard as S insufficient to meet the demands of the t people. Take hold and do the best with y what's in sight. You are not goitg to im prove either your own or your neighbor's circumstances by exploding what you a would have people think are your own r original thonghts. Wait natil 1898, and f . then give tLem to us. together with all you might have learned, in one grand, final combustific.ttion. What yon would have to do with now are the necessities of life, good substantial shoes, Try Goods and Clothing. Your first thought is : In what market I can buy them cheapest? Your next thought: In what particular store can I purchase to the best advantage of myself ? This question has had its answer for some time, and many there are who can testify to the fact that Ihe Diamond Racket Store of Sumter. tl S. C.. has long sinep held the supremacy s in Shtis, Dry Goods. Notions, Hats, Caps, Hardware and Tinware-especially Shoes. The Diamond Racket Store is opposite f, Bank of Sumter. next door to Dr. Lorme's drug store. Sumter, S. C. The mills all over the country f, have started up, and the gold stan dard newspapers are making a great deal of capital out of it, but those i who bare the products of the soil to sell can not see why it is, that with t] all of this revival of business, the f hard worked-farmer can not realize more for his cotton. Instead of cot ton bringing a better price as every body thought when the election was 4over, it is going down, down, and the bottom has not been struck yet, we The opposition already fear that their victory is only temporary, and the cause led by William Jennings Bryan will eventually win. They are therefore, organizing for the next battle already. Orders have been sent down the Republican lines to r keep up the organizations lest the silver heresy might take root in un expected quarters; the.. friends and a allies, the gold Democrats(?) are b also organizing to render all the aid ti possible to keep the e >utrol of our finances from getting out of the hands -of the present manipulator-s. But the may be organized as much as e they like, nothing short of a more p)r.operous condition will satisfy thbe \ pec ple and if Mr. McKinley's regime 41-eS not br-ing about such a con- t dition, the Republican par-ty will be I limried under such a mass of ballots b that a r-essureetioni wi!! be almost im possible.___ r Strong pr-essulre is being brought to bear- 0n Go.vernor Evans to take t off the metropolitan police from Char lesIon, We do not know what the E Governor will do, but ther-e is one thing certain, Captain Martin, chief tnarshall, should make a strong show ing to the governor whythe metropol itan system should be continued. If under that system the law is better enforced than under the old order of w~ things, the governor should stand by f it, by all means, but if under the d present- sy'stemn, blind tiger-s, and i foot-pads, glass smashers and burg- fa jars, have free re'a, then take it off 2 and let Charleston manage her own ai affai:- We believe in local self- 7' government, but when those in - power are hand-in-glove with viola-w tors of th~e law, the law will not be ct fr respected and enforced. In such a case the State should step in to pro- -A teet the law abiding citizenship. Chief Martin has made a first-clas3 officer and we believe if left to a vote, the 9 people cf Charleston would ask that t he be r-etained at the head of the po- , lice department, even if the gover- b nor withdraws the present system. S Governor Evans should act in the n matter from a business standpoint e and not be governed, either by a ti desire to relieve the incoming admnin- m isdration or to continue the systemP - al bez'anse some of his friends may loset position. The governing question Ir shoubl '-e, has the mnetropolitan St systemi done more towar-ds enforcing re a~~-nd order than the old sy-stem'. gi tr N ki Notgze to Creditors. i All person) havin~g uims uainst the estate of Ne-.

Library Association Formed-The Epworth League Mvetingand a -'Mother Goose" Play. JORDAN, Nov. 21-Jordan now has library. The people are all very sirous of making this a center of )od influence that will tell for years come There are already a large amber of members and more are pected to join soon. It will be for e present in the Academy building,! that is a central location. At the, rst meeting the following officers 0 ere chosen to direct the Association: ist Gee, presideut; Miss Beulah t urgess, secretary and treasurer; and R. Sprott, 'Mrs. H. L. Wilson and i iss Janette Wells were elected as t e book committee. It was decided I have a meeting once a month to 1 ansact any business that might r >me up. This is a decided step forward, for s v this means all of the good books a the community will be collected t ether in one place and all mem- I ers can have access to them. There t -e no better companions than good 1 oks and even if they are not read a iev have a refining influence. Their a eing at the school house will also ive the pupils access to them as t ference books for a great deal of Ais kind of work is done. The Epworth League held its reg lar monthly business meeting last riday night and after the regular usiness had been completed, a I 'Mother Goose Mleeting" was con :cted by a young lady dressed as lother Goose in the flashy colors t f red and Yellow. She cunducted 4 ie exercises'to the satisfaction of all e resent and the frequent applause i iowed the hearty appreciation of r ae whole audience. Several essays i ere read on different subjects relat- t g to "Mother Goose's Melodies,' so each member answering to the >lI call with a quotation from this miliar book. The whole evening assed off very pleasantly. The farmers in this section are all asy with their oats. CoRt. TRIBUTE. To the memory of James E. Davis P. M. t. Peter's Lodge, No. 54, A. F. & A.
