"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. What's right is right, sooner or later the meaningless boasts and pre tenses of jingo merchants will be found out by the people. We have done vhat we said. We have but one price, the lowest. Sumter, S. C. Opposite Bank of Sumter. The Fitzsimmons and Corbett ex hibition of rowdyism is a- thing of the past. Corbett was knooked out on the fourteenth round and he wants another show. He believes he can whip Fitzsimmons. Congress should put a stop to prize fighting. When Governor J. Gary Evans put the Metropolitan police on Charles ton, a great many, even some of his ~.fdriedubted the wisdom of the step, but recents have given conclu sive evidence that the Governor -acted properly and wisely. The ac tion of the -law-abiding citizens of Charleston is a vindication of Gover nor Evan's course in regard to the police matter. A Mrs. K. Sisk, in Monday's "News and Courier," comes out and wants -Goveinor Ellerbe to keep his prom ise to remove the Metropolitan police. The lady might employ her time to better service by doing missionary work among Charleston's Cit~y Coun cil and teach them that it is a crime in the sight of God and man to violate an oath. The councilmen swore on being inducted into office that they would enforce the laws of the city and State, and now some of them openly refuse to enforce a Statute because they are opposed to the law and because it operates against their indi'!idual business interests. The only criticisms of any, kind that we have so far noticed of Sena tor Earle, comes from those news papers which supported him in the primary campaign. The newspapers that were opposed to him have shown a disposition to treat him kindly. It is reported by the Senator's newspa per friends that the Senator has made his son his private Secretary and be cause he has, such 'papers as the Sum ter "Herald," thinks "a grave mistake has been made, and one which will injure the new Senator very much.'' We annot see why it should injure him. Does it not add $1,200 a year more to the income of the Senator?If we could have $1,200 more put to our income we would not feel like bringing suit for damages for injuries done us. Congressman McLaurin created a sensation by his speech on the tariff yesterday. It wats the effort of his life and we will endeavor to repro duce it next week. The correspondent from Washington says: "McLaurin's speech was the event of the day in the House, because of its able advo cacy of the doctrine of protecting Southern 'raw materials,' and especi ally cotton. As the first of the new Democratic members of the Ways and Means Committee, all of whom hold this doctrine, to address the House,McLauirinl receifved especial at tention, and many congratulations, not only on the argument he made, but also on the admirable way in which he parried the interrogatior~s with which he was attacked." The tariff tinkers have about laid their plans to carry out the adminis tration measures, and after some de bate the high tariff idea of the Re publican party will be enacted into la. Prices of all manufacrdr goods will rise and the people dependent on agriculture will have to grin and bear it. Congressman McLaurin has introduced a resolution to put a duty of -. i-2 cents per pound on cotton and if it goes through it will be a great boon to the cotton growers of the South. Foreign cotton is now brought into competition with our products and the speculators take advantage of it to depress prices, but with a duty on, the competition ceases and "King Cotton" will once again reign supreme. The Government has been sending out through the representatives, various kind of seed, and now comes the seedsmen with a great big kick against the practice. They have issued circular letters and spread them broad-cast among the editors, imploring them to make war against the free distribution of seed. We are among the number asked to come to the relief of the seedsmen and our jetter came froi the head of the very concern the Government bought seed from. We believe that'great good has re sulted from the free distribution of seeds and we hope the practice will continue. The experiments which have followed the introduction of new seed have often been the cause of changing the system of farming in the communities where the experi ments were made and the results show a vast amount of good. The State Sinking Fund Commis sion is authorized to loan money to the various counties at an interest rate of five per cent. This is a good thing for counties in debt, and with proper business management the money borrowed can put the county on a cash paying basis, which will be a saving of many times the interest paid. This county is forced to bor row money every year in order to meet court expenses, of course the bank nor any other private institution can afford to make loans at five per cent, because their money is worth more to them. The Sinking Fund Commission can afford to take five per cent because it does not lend money for the purpose of profit. We hope that when the conmmissioners meet they will authorize the Super visor to borrow the necessary money to run the connty and then when the loan is obtained that every piece of work done will be paid for in cash when completed. Will the Demderatic Party Take We observe that the goldbug pa pers of the Bourbon order, that de fended the Cleveland-McKinley com bine in the last campaign, are dis cussing compromise and harmony between the Democratic party and the English Tory and Swiss soldiers of the Cleveland, Carlisle Hill stripe. In other words they propose to poison the Democratic party with its own vomit and introduce a sufficient dose of the deadly drug of the Indian apolis excrescence to expel from that great organization every person who seeks to avoid contamination and the dregs of poverty with which the gold bugs supply the cpuntry. They know full wvell the repulsive force of English Tories, who were kicked out of the Democratic party last year, and are laboring not only to disrupt the party, but to prevent honest sil ver Republicans and Populists from again co-operating with the organi ation. If they can make the organ ization sufficiently vile and odious to keep patriotic citizens out of it they are confident of the success of the gold combination through the instru mentality of its natural ally the Re publican party. We warn the new Democracy that if they abate one jot >r tittle of the demands of the Chica go platform on the money question, there will be nothing left for Popu lists and silver Riepublicans but to act independently ansi in opposition to the Democratic party. We do net make these remarks because we think there is the slightest danger of the regenerated Democracy taking to their breast and warming the ser pent which they cast out, and giving him new life to set his fangs into the organization and poison and destroy it. The serpent that beguiled Eve was not more insidious and false than the Cleveland Democracy which is now seeking the destruction of the party which they betrayed. What would have been said of Washington if he had called Benedict Arnold back and given him command of the Con tinential forces? And what will be said of the leaders of the Chicago Democracy if they call back the trait ors who betrayed and defeated them in the last election? We warn those in command of the destinies of the new Democracy that there is danger in the slightest semblance of recon ilation, much less union, with the Cleveland Democracy, or any other Democracy that did not give cordial support to the Chicago platform and to the election of Bryan. The restora-' tion, either of the skulkers or the aiders or abettors of the Indianapolis :onentionr to command in the Dem :cratic party will drive into other parties at least one-half of the Demo rats who voted for Bryan, and all those belonging to other parties, who onstituted between one-third and ne-half of the grand total of six and half :millions who acted with the Democratic party to obtain relief rom intolerable evils. Altgeld has set the pace in Chica o, and driven the Hessians and Swiss soldiers out of the party, and ompelled them to masquerade un cler the name of a "business men's arty," with '-Wash" Hessing, Cleve and's old postmaster, as nominee for ayor. Good for Altgeld! His ex unple will be followed in the West md South, and should be followed! verywhere, One more word to Dem crats. The reorganization of the emocratic party with goldbugs in ommand might at one time have and emoluments in conjunction with the Republicans. But that time has passed. There are other organiza tions row that are willing to asso ciate and co-operate with the regen erated Democracy of Chicago, but who will not associate with any or ganization which includes in its mem bership the traitors who were cost out.-Silver Knight. It Appears Ugly. M. EDITo:-I saw in your paper, the issue of the 10th, inst., wherein a conversation between you and a busi ness man of this town, in which the question was asked, after viewing a number of hail, hearty men loitering around the street: "How do they live*?" I became interested in your apparent solution. We thank you for condemning this evil, only wish you cou!d say some thing that would put a stop to it. But we are forced to differ with you a little. Your solution may be good, but not complete, namely: "They have a wife or sweetheart in the white folks' yard." Facts place the problem in a different light. You can find more by two, in that non-in dustrious band, who haven't wives or "sweethearts in the white folks'yard." Their wives are satisfied-don't look for anything. The purport of this article is, if possible, to clothe itin its right gar ment. We find a-growing evil in our town, which tends to make drones. Scat tering hopes of a living without la boring, makes sluggards of our boys; changes the minds of the industrious into waywardness; seizes the strong with its iron hands of depravity and changes his love for God and human ity into a foolish fancy; defies the sacred decalogue and makes a brute of its possession. IV think that the better element of our people, be it white or black, ouht to frown upon the habit of gambling. Is not there force'enough in the scene presented to us daily to convince us that it is allied to every thing that is dirty and low? A host of men studiously studying how to put their hands, as it were into their neighbors pockets and draw there from his hard earned dollars. Does not reason tell us that when their chicanery fails they will resort to more daring deeds under circum stances of bolder nature, for "the hungry must. be fed," so goes the maxum of old. From a passing view, we conclude that our white friends do us a great deal of harm by respecting, in their way, the baser element of our people and then branding us as a whole with this infamy. Our best boys are not known to you any further than their honest labor goes; on the other hand, you are brought in close contact with the indolent. The second evil presenting itself to me is, that a large Dumber of those men yu saw, are supported by ill breeded white men, to serve as cats paw, in accelerating their hellish deeds upon our weak and forlorn women. Shame, shame on humanity. Oh! Anglo-Saxon mothers, don't you hear the prayers from the depressed negro mothers in thunder tones, be seeching your help. You can help by teaebing your boys to scorn this evil; impress them with purposes more exalted; paint this crime in its most shameful hue. We would say to our colored moth ers, do likewise for we admit that part of our boys are tending to des truction. A united effort of both races will sink this evil into oblivion. When the better element of both races will condemn these evils and discriminate against the indulgers, we believe men will work. I trust, I will see the day when our town au thorities will have laws enacted suffi ient to suppress loafing on our streets. I am looking for the chain gang. Yours for Humanity N. S. DELAN. l'aeksville News. Packsville, March 22:-Some of our farmers are planting corn, others spreading fertilizers preparitory to planting cotton. The oat crop is looking well since the last warm rains. ur roads are being put in good con dition by road hands this week. The free term of school closed here Fri day and gave an exhibition tljiat night, which was a grand success. Miss Maggie Corbett received the prize for the best recitation and Janie Cut tin'. the o-ne for best declamation. There wvere several recitations; among those needing special mention were Misses. Elma Geddings, Louise Mc Enight, Lellie Huggins, Bessie Cor bett, Portia McKnight and Viola Cor bett, and of the deciaimers were Ed ie Brown, Boyd Cole and David uttino. The principal, Rev. C. M. Billings, and his efficient assistant, Miss Annie Hundley, deserve great redit for the way these children have been trained. This school numbers ne hundred and ten pupils and ught not to close. We hope the pat ons will feel the great responsibility esting upon them and have the school opened right away out of their private funds and give the children he best educational advantages poss ible. This school should run at least ine months in the year, and it could easily be done if the patrons would nly take the proper interest in the oatter. Rev. C. M. Billings, pastor of the Baptist church here, is holding a re vival meeting which will continue for several days. He will preach at night only for the present.

Work That Requires Application During Long Days For Small Returns-Pictur esque Situations, but There Is Too Much Poverty to Admit of roetry. Yesterday I spent at Malling, an an cient market town about 30 miles from London, which is in the midst of one of the Lcost fertile and extensive hop dis tricts in the world, the soil being of the rich quality that produces the famous golden hop. I stood on an eminence and surveyed in every direction the plantations of tall hops, luxuriant on the straight, firmly set poles, the deep green of the vine leaves beautifully gemmed by the great bunches of golden flowcr. On a hillside a little distance to the left were the uniform white tents of the hop pickers, like the encampment of an army-for you must know that the hop pickers are not residents of the neighborhood. They come from distances by families, a large proportion of them from London. And, be it known, the majority of the hop pickers are wretch edly poor. The pay for hop picking is so very little that only by the united efforts of a family of three or four workers is tho result of the day's labor worth the effort. Last year, for exam ple, the pay for picking was a shilling for seven bushels, so that a worker Ltd to complete seven bushels before the shilling was earned. This year condi tions are a little better, but at the best hop picking is only profitable when the family has six or eight pairs of expert hands to strip the vines swiftly. Some of the women have reduced this picking to an art, the deft facility with which they take four or five flowers at a time completely deceiving the novice, who imagines skill to be nothing in this business. The poles in a hopfield are so perfectly set at right angles that you may look down a uniform avenue of overhanging vines in whatever direction you turn your eyes. But this exactitude is less for beauty of appearance than for con venience of arrangement of picking par ties, for a field is let out in small sec tions, so many hills-two poles make a hill-to a family, according as the fam ily has agreed for half a bin or more. Therefore, as you walk down the path that intersects a hopfield, you see here and there at fixed distances apart the different independent groups of pickers, their canvas bins, with wide, flaring mouths, all of regular size, stretched on poles and set on crosspieces the length of their section, and while the man cuts the vines a third of the way up the poles and pulls up the poles to carry to the bin side the women and children inces santly work from 6 a. n. to 7 p. m., save only for the half hour at noon for dinner. And what a sight it is! At the very edge of the field where I spent most time rears, rugged and tall, the ivy draped tower of St. Leonards, said to be the very first, and therefore the oldest, of the Norman towers, the pic turesque ruins of which so interest the intelligent visitor to rural England. This tower was built by Gundulf, bishop of Rochester, somewhere about 1078-90. This abbey, by the way, has been re stored and is once more a home of nuns. At the foot of this old tower yesterday rolled and tumbled a score of grimy, half naked, tatterdemalion children, of ages running from the infant that should have been in arms to a pair of 4-year old twins, in patched, dirty red dresses, and witb huge brass earrings hiding the lobes of their unclean little ears. Thuis did half barbarous young modesty kidk up its slovenly little legs in contempt of that still grim though dismantled tower, built eight centuries ago to repel the assaults of those savages who were fore runners of the present day Englishman. And among the vines yonder were the motley groups of persons to whom these little human blots appertained. Not by any merans as picturesque and fascinit ing as Italian grape pickers ; nothing'of the rich, dark beauty of the southern types, but a different sort of interest at taches to these hopelessly ignorant, half vagrant creatures, who have come ,to the picking-by donkey cart, by train, on foot-bearing with them their mis erable utensils for cooking and faring, in their rags and their tatters, the filth of which they are not ashamed, sleep ing by night in tents if they are so for tunate, behind hedges and under rude wigwams of boughs, if they must, work ing from day dawn to evening close for a mere pittance-yet not wolfish or sur ly, not rude-iudeed, good natured when you address them, and in rough way jocular or in shy way communica tive. Here and there, to be sure, some thing more pretentious, the epitome of lower middle class shift and tidiness, but in the main a hop picking scene such as you may witness at Malling tells you what pitiful poverty and wretchedness are hidden from the world by the purple splendor of the richest na tion upon which the curious sun looks askance. Fill in imaginatively the picture of which I have given but true outlines. Scan the hillside encampment, where in fancy and age swarm about the evening fires. Walk through the fields of vine girt poles, that seem a compact mass as you look down upon them. Talk with thes3 women and children stripping the yel low flowers swiftly froni the stems. Glance at the various troops of thought lessly begotten infants rolling on the green grass or burrowing in the soft earth, and then, as you blow the froth from your next glass of beer, ref ect how 'the best hops yielded by bountiful nature are gathered for your benefit. cr.

GERMAN KALI WORKS, 93 Nassau St., New York. Growing the Bermuda Lily. "The Bermuda lily should be planted in deep pots," writes Eben E. Rexford in The Ladies' Home Journal. "Put in a shallow layer of soil over the drain age material when you pot the bulbs of this plant, and on this plaeo the bulb, which should be covered lightly. Leave it like this until n stalk starts. Then fill in, as this stalk reaches up, until the pot is full of compost. I would not ad vise the use of any fertilizer af ter bring ing a plant to the light if the compost in which it was planted contained an ordinary amount of nutriment. Develop ment is quite likely to be sufficiently rapid in ordinary rich soil, and the ap plication of a stimulant will so hasten it that the plant will be forced beyond healthy limits. Watch the plants when in the cellar and give a little water now and then if needed. Aim to keep the soil moist-never wet. When you bring them up, do not place them at once in a very warm room. A room adjoining one in which there is a fire is better for them, if it is frostproof, than one in which the heat is likely to run up to a high figure. When they come into bloom, be sure to keep them as cool as nossi ble if you want the flowers to last." SUPERVISOR'S NOTICE. OFFICE COUNTY SUPERVISOR, J CLAREYNToN CoUNTY. Maaning, S. C..
