"You can fool some of the people all the time and all of the people some of the time, but you can't fool all of the people all of the time.

Ago Sumter, S. C. Opposite Bank of Sumter. CHARLESTON SAYS SHE WON'T. The Metropolitan police matter must indeed be embarassing and an noying to Governor Ellerbe, since the the Charleston City Council refused to accede to his proposition. He showed a disposition to listen to the appeals from Charleston, to let that city have control of her police and at 16aset. one-third of the Council de clined to accept the terms of the "turn over." Now, the situation stands thus; The Governor is willing to take off the Metropolitan police, conditioned that the City Council sign an agreement to enforce the Dispensary law. A portion of the Council have signed and the other members decline; among the signers are those who are "blind tiger" sus pects, in fact, true bills at a former term of court were found against them. With such a condition of things existing, we see little prospect for the enforcement of the law should Governor Ellerbe recede from the terms of his proposed agreement. The members of the Council who refused to sign the agreement have gone too far to recede from their position, be cause they have placed their reasons on record and if what they say is true, self-respect demands of them to stand by their action. The Governor has given Charleston a chance to rid herself of the Metro politan police, the opportunity has been rejected, and in effect, the State authorities have been told, Charles ton will not obey the Dispensary law. This condition needs heroic treatment aud now is the time to administer the dose. If the Governor will give Charleston to understand that she is a part of the State and the State laws were made to be enforced with or without a Metropolitan police, and as his proposition has been rejected, he will not only stand by thepresent police system, but will give it all necessary aid to accomplish the enforcement of the law; he will have the sympathy of an element whose influence for good is bound to tell. There is no doubt that a very large portion ol the good element in that city favor the enforcement of the Dispensary law,and if they succeed in holding oE to the present police machinery, they will regard it a victory won, and tc sustain that victory they will greatly aid the officers in the discharge o. their duties. The Governor should go a stei further and give that city to under stand that such a flagrant trampling of the law under foot, as was doni recently by the grand jury, will no' be tolerated and steps syill be taker to correct the evil; that as long as the law is on the Statute books, juron shall not have the right to act upox the principle: "It not the violaton of the law, but the Dispensary itsel. which is on trial." Suppose the Governor recedes fron: the position he assumed, the resuli will be far reaching; the effect will be felt in every town whose officers are not favorable to the law, and the Gov. ernor will find himself with a moun tain of trouble on his hands. There are a number of towns in the Stat4 whose municipal officers are antag onistic to the Dispensary law anc we,-e it not for the fear of having Metropolitan police thrust upon them and the juries drawn by county officials who are beyond their control, not the slightest effort would be made to subdue the illicit selling of liquor; but if Charleston is released from the supervision of a police who will en deavor to enforce the law, it will embolden the smaller towns and in a short while the authorities will find it necessary to increase the constabu lary to a larger force than we have ever had before. EARLE PROMISED. The Greenville "Mountaineer,' edited by Col. J. A. Hoyt, for whom we have the highest esteem, says: -THE M NI.NG TntEs was a staunch supporter of ex-Governor Evans in the Democratic primary last summer, but the result was accepted by THE TixEs with fairly good grace" and then takes occassion to read us a kind of lecture for saying, "We did not support Earle in the pri mary election, but we know that he has the ability, and we believe he will not let local politics hamper him in supplementing Tillman's efforts for the good of the people who so highly honored him." Our esteemed con temporary does n3t appear to lik our use of the word "supplementing" and makes the following retort: All that is said about Senator Earle's ability and patriotism will be readily recognized and appreciated, but the talk about "supplementing" the efforts of his colleague is scarcely in keeping with the record he has made in public life. He will co-oper ate with the senior Senator in all measures that meet the approval of his judgment, but Tillman knows that Earle will act independently and conscientiously, and will not take the position of a "supplement" in any respect. He is just as much of a United States Senator as his colleague, and he was elected by the people of South Carolina, to whom alone he is responsible for his acts." In using the language complained of, we but use the words of Judge Earle when he became a candidate for the United States Senate. In his letter announcing has candidacy, or rather his appeal to the voters, he said: "I am in accord with Senator Tillman in the positions assumed by him in the Senate, and if elected I shall supplement his able efforts to protect the rights of the people with such power as I may have and with all the earnestness of my nature." Refer to the files of the "Moun taineer" andit will be seen that we quote Judge Earle correctly; there fore, when we talk about "supple. menting" the efforts of Tillman, it is in keeping not only with Earle's record, but also with his solemn written promise made to people when asking for their votes. Would the "Mountaineer" place Senator Earle in the position of a tricky politician, who has no regard for promises made? We be. lee that Senator Earle is a con scientious man, and we know him to be as "much of a United States Sena tor as his colleague," but neverthe less he was made a United States Sena tor after his promise to "sus ->lement' Tillman's efforts and we feel satisfied he will stand by that promise. The time for the "Mountaineer" to have objected to Senator Earle "sup plementing" Tillman's efforts was when Judge Earle's letter appeared. It offered no objections then, and it should not do so now. We remem ber the able fight the "Mountaineer' made for Judge Earle and how it endorsed his every utterance, in fact, the "Mountaineer" was as zealous for Earle as THEn Tms was for Evans. Our man was defeated and we tool his defeat as gracefully as we knew how ; we remembered our promise te submit to the will of the majority and to support the nominee, no more could be done-even with "fairly good grace," but our contemporary is not satisfied with having defeated us, it wants to go farther and forget the promises made by its candidate. Earle did promise to supplement Tillman's efforts and we do sincerely hope that our little local quarrels will not interfere with his doing so. 0. course, none of us like to play seco'nd fiddle when we feel able to play first but we have to sometir ce, mecially when the people ha'e our wrae promise. The amended pension law, whicli we publish this week for the ben efil of those interested is the work of the recent session of the General Assem bly, and in our opinion they havy made a bungling job out of a law which was intended to help a class o people who deserve all the help the State can afford to give them. The amended law is not only a cumber some affair, but it is an expense t< 'the people the State professes to help William Jennings Bryan has beer invited to deliver an address to tNi students of the Newberry College dring the June commencemen exercises, and it is thought be wil accept. ______ ___ DID YOU~ EVER Try Electric Bitters as a remedy for yoi Itroublos ?

Fifty cents and $1.00 at R. B. Lorn NONE 80 BLIND, ETC. All of the newspapers in the State opposed to the Dispensary system take great delight in prating on the increase of whiskey drinking. They will tell how awful it is to behold men who never before carried liquor to their homes, walking about with a bottle in their pockets and carrying quantities of the vile stuff to their homes where little innocent children will have the temptation set before them. But these same papers do not say anything about the decrease of drunkenness on the streets and pub lic places. Any unprejudiced man will admit that under the present system a drunken man on the -streets is a rare sight. When the law first went into oper ation the change came freighted down with political animosities, and it was necessarily in a crude state, but with time the management be came better, and to-day, with its present management, it is making converts out of some who were most bitter in their opposition. There was considerable opposition to what is known as special privileges for tourist hotels and when the author ities reorganized the constabulary force, the first step taken was to for bid the hotel Dispensaries from sell ing after the hour fixed by law and to take away whatever special priv ileges they heretofore had. In this step the authorities are backed up with the intention of the law and we believe it will have a wholesome effect in convincing outsiders that the authorities are not so much after revenue as they are for controlling the sale and decreasing the whiskey habit. The hotels naturally object to hav ing their business closed up so early, because the principal part of their income comes after the business houses close and after the night trains arrive; we doubt exceedingzly, if the present regulations hold out,if any ^ the hotels in Charleston will continu running Dispensaries. The hue and cry in Charleston is not against the hotels; it is agains the "private clubs" and defiant "blinc tigers." Chief Bahr has an opportu nity to make a name for himself by breaking up these dens of iniquity. He is a Charleston man and knows where these whiskey dens are, and if he will do his duty the life of the "sightless tiger" is short. Chief Bahr has started out well, but he must keep up the pace or the people will think that he has been tamed by the "Home Rule" lovers und Fritz who keeps mit der corner or Moike over the strate. WE NEED REFORU. We agree with the Orangeburg Patriot, which says: "A simon pure reformer has to hold his nose when, he undertakes to justify some things that have been done under the name of reform. Too much money is spent in running the State government and some of its institutions. There is ample room for real reform." Those of us who went into the Re form movement from purely patriotic motives, and worked hard to correct the very evils of which we now com plain,feel that our efforts have been in a measure wasted ;we feel that we drove one set of money changers from the temple and allowed another set to to get in. The Reform faction was made up of both, the good and the bad; like every new movement, it takes time to eliminate the bad from 'the good. The people now have had time to see who have been faithful to the trusts reposed in them, and who have used that trust for self ag. grandisement. The men who did not come up to the expectations of the people must be retired and a new set put in their stead. There is room for reform and the people want to put men in office who are reform. ers; it matters not which faction they used to belong to. There must be something done to lessen taxes. We have about $20,000,000 more prop. erty now than we had in 1890 and our State levy is only one-fourth of a mill less, and we have more property now than we had in 1895 and our State levy is one-half a mill more. Trus we have made some improve m uts which cost large sums of non, y, and the phosphate income has bken greatly reduced, but we have incomes now which we did not have waen the taxes were lower. What is needed at Headquarters isa few good financiers who will manage Sthe State'.3 interests as if it were their own. The Florence Daily "Times" and the Columbia Evening "News" have both suspended publication, ar'd yet some people will say newspapers are making money too fast and should be legislated against.

Some newspapers put considerable stress on Cleveland's duck hunting expedition on a government vessel after he went out of office. We see no harm in it. 'Tis true, when McKin ley took the oath of office, Cleveland was no more than any other citizen, but nevertheless, this would be a small and narrow government indeed if it should not extend a courtesy to an ex-President. We do not believe in this constant nagging, because it does no good, an& when Grover Cleveland went out of office, the only thing in order, to be discussed, are those acts performed while in office. The people do not care a cent whether Mr. Cleveland went on a ducking expedition on a vessel belonging to the government, but what is a source of worry to them is what the result of his administra tion will be. If he was right, his name will be written on the pages of history as the greatest of Presidents, but if, as many think, he was the tool of the money power and through him the Democratic party was betrayed intothe hands of the Republican agents of monopolies and trusts, then will the pages of history record him as the blackest of ingrates and traitors. A TARIFF SESSION. Congress is in extra session now and the principle business for which it was called is to manufacture a tariff law similar to the one Mr. McKinley offered years ago and which sent the Republican party down to defeat. We expect to hear from our own rep resentative when the tariff is being discussed,ras we know that Congress man McLaurin has been anticipating what McKinley would do, and like a t -.. 01 OlTur, Lakrn, .~ ~. h -vill be something to make hink, because he never o handle a subject with -.ing carefully investigated ley "News" has changed former owner, Mr. H. t have accepted more .loyment-entered into -act to plow for some armer.

[From the Silver Knight-Watchman.j The rallying cry of the Republican campaign was the return of pros perity and McKinley was proclaimed as the "advance agent of prosperity." Cleveland's policy was denounced for having produced universal dis tress. The first act of the incoming administration is the full and com plete adoption of Cleveland's finan cial policy. Mr. McKinley was not satisfied with the adoption of the Cleveland policy in words, but he selected a Cabinet, every one of whom is a conspicuous advocate of Cleveland's most extreme vic on the money question. It is now p'o posed to cure every evil which flesh is heir to by tariff tinkering. It is understood that a tariff bill has been in course of preparation by the com mitteeon ways and means of the House of Representatives since De cember last and that it is to be forced through the House under drastic rules immediately after the conven ing of the extra session. Already the organs of the conspiracy are making war upon the Senate and the Senate rules. They insist that no time shall be wasted in recording the edicts which come from the House; that the House of Representatives will re main idle and do no other business to emphasize any hesitation which may be manifested in the Senate to pass a tariff bill. Reasonable time for de bate and investigation is denounced in advance as an obstruction to de prive people of their rights. The muzzling of the Senate to create a one man power in that body on the model of the power exercised by the czar of thE House was mildly sug gested by the Vice President and that suggestion is re-echoed through the gold press of the country. If free amendment and free debate can be cut off in the Senate, there will be no legislative body in any just sense of the term in the United States. It is manifest that this imperious demand for tariff legislation is solely and ex clusively in the interests of manufac turing trusts, to enable them to fix the price of the necessaries of life without competitio from abroad, while agriculture must continue in competition with the silver st: -4ard countries with one hundred p, advantage and with the cooli of Asia.
