"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 what we said. We have but one price, the lowest. Sumter, S. C. Opposite Bank of Sumter. BUILD A FACTORY. South Carolina is now numbered among the cotton manufacturing States, and in a few years she will be among the foremost in this great industry. The tariff discussion in Congress has brought to light that this State is considered a strong com petitor with the manufacturing States of the East. Then why do not our home people .put their capital to gether and bring to us a mill within the reach of our farmers whereby the _cotten grown in this community can be- manufactured instead of having the raw material shipped abroad. If the business men of this county, whether, they be merchants, profes sional men or farmers,would come to gether there would soon be in our midst the humming of spindles as is the case in the up country. If we had a factory in this county every man who raises cotton would feel its benefit in the increased price they would receive for the product. We would like to see some enterprisig citizen take this matter in hand and work it with a determination to suc ceed. A few years ago if some one had suggested a knitting factory, at once he would have been discouraged, but let it be said in honor of Mr. W. Scott Harvin that he did not wait, and with that nerve which makes the successful business man he invested his money, and the result has proven a boon to this town. There are now, from the industry started by Mr. Har vin, not less than fifty people receiv ing employment and in a short time double the number will be employed. Now, if others would follow in the footsteps of our enterprising friend, Manning would soon spread out, the town would soon be filled in with people fromr elsewhere and property would take a jump. The "News and Courier," Green ville "News" and the Charleston "Post" have been laboring very in dustriously to make the people be lieve that Governor Ellerbe has been guilty of deception, or to put it more forceful, lying. The Governor has made a full, complete and convincing statement as to his connection with the Metropolitan police, and Mayor Smythe has made his official report to the City Council. -These two dis tinguished gentlemen differ as to what took place between them and the newspapers above referred to have taken advantage of that differ ence to endeavor to place Governor Ellerbe in an unenviable position. In our humble opinion the Governor is about as well known to the people as either or all of the newspapers and we believe they will prefer believing Governor Ellerbe's statement. It may suit the purposes of a certain class of politicians and newspapers to keep up friction, and in this Metro politan police matter it looks as if it is about the only bone that they can gnaw upon. If they only knew what the people were thinking about them, we believe a change of subject would come quick. We have no doubt that Mayor Smythe is honestly mistaken in his understanding of what took place in the executive chamber and we be lieve the Governor gives him credit for being honest. The newspapers, however, would have it "that there is a lie out" and the Mayor did not tell it. All the same, the Metropolitan police is still on guard and very likely to be for some time to come. SOMETHING TO KNO W. It may be worth something to know that the very best medicine for restoring the tiied out nervous system to a healthy vigor is Electric Bitters. The medicine is purely vegetable, acts by giving tone to the nerve centres in the stomach, gently stimulates the liver and kidneys, and aids these or gans in throwing off impurities in the blood. Electric Bitters improves the ap petite, aids digestion, and is pronounced by those who have tried it as the very best blood purifier and nerve tonic. Tfry it. Sold for 50c. or SI.00 per bottle at R.

CHAND] SImt4 Several of the newspapers have commented on the "Story of the sor re mare Salley," in which Governoi Ellerbe and Major Barnard B. Evanu are the most interested parties. W do not regard it a public matter, bt altogether, the settlement of a private affair with which the public has nc concern. If Ellerbe loses the suit he will be very careful in the future hov he expresses his confidence in elec ion returns, and if he wins, his ei* erience in the preser.t episode wil and him in good stead. If Evane lses he too, will learn to have wit. sses present when enterning intc sch aln important transaction and i: ewins, "Salley" will still be at the rvice of the gallant Major's host o: fiends. To say the least of it, this horse case has created a great dea ofdiscussion all over the State and geat interest is manifested as to the inal outcome. In last week's issue we took occa son to express our opinion of Con essan Stokes for taking issue witi ur Representative without coming out in the open and delivering his sech in Mctaurin's presence. We made our comment without saying what Stokes said, therefore, in spirit of fairness, we reproduce his speech and give our readers an op. portunity of seeing the other side tokes clings to the old traditions jut like some fanatics cling to any oher antiquated ideas and withoul tking into consideration that condi ios change they continue to carry te rock in one end of the mill sael eause their great-grandfathers did Congressman McLaurin has agair paced himself on record in the tarif dscussion. His last speech was wonderful exhibition of the resourcel ofSouth Carolina. As an advertise ment the speech will do incalculable good, because capitalists connt help bt be impressed with the showing Mr. McLaurin makes for his State. There is one thing which the enemies ofMLaurin will not attempt to say nd that is, he is neglectful of the iterests of his people. There is nc man in Congress who is more devotec tothe trust reposed in him than Mc Laurin, which is sbown by his con tant efforts in their behalf. In an interview with Senator Till man recently, Postmaster-Genera Gary gave him to understand tha trms of postmasters which are fixec by law would remain undisturbed until the term has been completed but fourth-class offices which ar< flled at the pleasure of the Postmnas tr-General do not come under th< rle and that he will appoint Repub lians to these places as soon as suit table applicants present themselves All the offices in this county ar< fourth-class.

A foul murder was committed near Salters in Williamsburg County last Saturday. The victims were two harmless Italians. Robbery is sup posed to be the motive. Senator Earle has returned to South Carolina to recuperate from a spell of Washington grippe. During the winter of 1893, F. M. Martin, of Long Reach, West Va., contracted a severe cold which left him a cough. In speaking of how he cured it he says: "I used several kinds of cough syrup but found no relief until I bought a bottle of Chamberlain's Cough Remedy, which re lieved me almost instantly, and in a short time brought about a complete cure." When troubled with a cough or cold use this remedy and you will not find it necessary to try 'several kinds before you get relief. It has been in the market for over twenty years and cn.autly grown in favor and popularity. For sale at 25 and 50 cents per bottle by R. B. Loryeo, the druggist. Effect of The Turko-Greek War. Last week we gave an account of the dis turbance existing between Turkey and Greece, and briefly related the causes which led up to the hostilities, and also stated that the whole world was looking on in atazement and speculation as to what the outcome would be and predicted that much bloodshed would probably result. our predictions have been verified. Since our last writing the Greek troops have invaded Turkish territory in the provinces known as Thessaly and Macedonia, and some very hot fighting has been done. The policy of thec Greeks ever since the first of the trouble on the island of Crete has been vigorously aggressive. On last Friday and Saturday some very hot fighting was engaged in, and thus far the Greeks seem to be on top. The Greeks estimate that the killed and wounded among the Turks in the recent battle was about seven hundred, but more conservative estinrates place the losses not quite so great. The situation in Europe is now becoming serious. Turkey has with -drawn her minister to Greece and sent the Grecian minister to Turkey home, and has [also given all Grecian merchants in Turkey fourteen days in which to wind up their business affairs and leave, thus severing all diplomatic and commercial relations between the two countries. A most bloody war seems imminent. It is surmised that should the six gre3at powers become drawn into the trouble, Germany, Austria and Russia will side with Turkey, while Eng land, France and ]taly will espouse the cause of little Greece. Should a general - war break out it. will have a great effect upon the markets in this country. The cotton market would hardly be much affectedl unless the war assumed such pro portions as to cause England to draw large from her citizenship and put them in t'he field after exhausting her army, Eng land being the chief manufacturer of the six. But this is a condition that would hardly be probable, and the English fac. - tories'would likely run on just as before. With the grain market, however, things would be different. A general war would mean large exportations of wheat, corn ani pork, and as a consequence these arties would rise materially. Bat be tbhe coequences as they may, as some old entlman expressed it a few years ago. "The Geese and the Turkeys are a-fightin,' and Uncle Sam says its none of his quarrel ad he means to keep hands oil. TIIEB GRANDEST REMEDY. .r. R. 1.
