Sumter, S. C. Opposite Bank of Sumter. THE DAWNING OF POLITICAL PEACE. The great political battle has been fought and won. The people have in loud acclaim endorsed Governor El lerbe's appointment of John L. Mc Laurin as United States Senator. There was a great meaning in the result of the contest; it sealed the political doom of professional politi cians, it smashed the fetters of fac .tionalism and it proved the people can be trusted. The election of John McLaurin is the keystone in the bridge of recon ciliation; the white men of South Carolina are now in solid array, ready to fight for a common cause and no man can divide them by appealing to passion'and faction. Hereafter men will be selected for public place, not for their intensiveness;r but for their qualifications and merit; the re sult will be, that our polities will be cleaner and purer, and that it will be an honor worth achieving to be se lected by the people to be commis sioned with a public trust. There are still some who would like to blow up the embers of faction al division, but they won't succeed, for the people have put their seal of condemnation upon it. Now let us all, not with a lip ser vice, but with sincere hearts, stand together. Let there be a sentiment that he who appeals to pas".ion and arouses strife, is dangerous and must be put down. Let us all put aside our prejudices. give credit where it is deserving, hold up the bands of our public servants, encourage them to a full discharge of their duty. When Congress as sembles the people of South Carolina. can feel that in Senator McLamin, they have a representative who was elected, not as a Conservaive, not as as Reformer, but as a Democrat who had been tried and-jound faithful to his trust. He is not the representa tive of.a factioni, but he is the repre sentative othe people of South Caro M adwe feel sure that his record will not be blotted, but that it will be as clear as a noonday sun, and thai his name will be written high upot the tower of fame as a true, broad minded and fearless tribune. WE PROP'HESIED CORRECTLY. It is a source of real gratificatior to us to be able to recall what Johr Gary Evans said in his speech al Manning: "Appelt has said that ] won't get one hundred votes in Clar endon, I say Appelt does not carry the votes of Clarendon in his breeches pocket." In the first place, Governor Evans misquoted us and we told him so after the meeting. What we did say was the combination "Irby and Evans together would not get one hundred votes in Clarendon." We said it because we knew the people to be capable df judging and appre. ciating true merit; we knew that all of the misrepresentations of McLaur in's record could not swerve our peo pe and we further k-new that this people were heartily disgusted with the persistent attempts on the part ol politicians to keep up a constant irri tation. The people of Clarerdon by a large majority, allied themselves with the Reform faction, because they knew there was a festering sore upor the body politic of the State, then the leaders of the Reform factior represented certain principles whicl the people wanted enacted into law The main principles and objects o: the Reform faction have been accom pshed and there is no need now tt keep pounding the opposition simply to get offie-. The time has come and the recent election shows it, that factions are no longer a controlling power; that to I single out a man in a crowd who is I actively supporting an opponent, and appeal to prejudice by saying that I man "does carry the vote of Claren don in his breeches pocket" is a poli tician's trick the people ignore. When Evans made the remark that we do not "carry the vote of Clarendon in our breeches pocket" he knew full well neither by word nor act have we ever tried to create such an impres sion and what he said was a fruitless effort to drive votes away from Mc Laurin by arousing a prejudice against us. He failed. It is a delightful pleasure to inform Governor Evans that our estimate of Clarendon was correct and we can further say that had a full vote been polled McLaurin would not have lost one hundred votes in the Co'unty, and we take this opportunity to thank the good people of Clarendon for the handsome endorsement they gave THE Tras in both Senatorial and Congressional contest; having received such a hearty endorsement we feel that it would be impertinent on our part were we now to attempt to use any influence for or against either candidate in the second con test. WE ARE HANDS OFF. Our choice for Congress, Hon. J. E. Ellerbe, failed to receive a suflici ent number of votes to put him in the second race, nevertheless, he has every reason to feel proud of the vote he did receive. Had Clarendon polled her usual vote, Mr. Ellerbe would have, without a doubt, been in the second race with Mr. Johnson, but as it now stands the second con test will be between Johnson and Norton. Our readers have had an opportun ity to judge of both of these candi dates, therefore, we will not through these columns indicate which of the two is our personal choice; but as we regard it the duty of every citizen to vote we will on the day of election go to the polls and cast our individ ual vote for one of the two. Friends of both of the candidates have called upon us to solicit our support, and our reply has been "we are hands off." We have determined on this course and we intend to faithfully carry it out. We regret exceedingly the neces sity for a second race, for the reason the people are heartily tired of so much politics and so many elections; at this season of the year the farmers are busy harvesting their crops and preparing them for market,and under the circumstances we look for a very light vote all over the district. Re member the contestants in the second primary are General James Norton and Solicitor J. M. Johnsen, both are asking the suffrages of the people and of the two all that we will say is, vote for the man of your choice. OUR NEW SENATOR. In the election of J. Harry Lesesne to the State Senate, the ycple of Clarendon can boast of ha ving the youngest Senator in the State. We realize that Mr. Lesesne goes to the Senate under a great disadvantage, lack of experience and only one ses sion to work in, however, we sincerely hope that he will take an interest in the work before him and in the short time be able to do something for the County. Mr. Lesesne takes a deep interest in educational matters and if he can have enacted a law which will im prove our free school system, and does nothing else, the people wilt be repaid for honoring him. Our young Senator will have some advantage which is not always the good fortune of a new legislator, that is, an expe rience in County affairs. Mr. Lesesne has had occasion to examine as grand jury expert the books of the ,County officials, and he has been upon the school examining board, has been connected with the tax collecting dle partment and the Sheriff's office, all of which puts him in a position to be conversant with County affairs and he should know just what needs his d tention. It will be his duty, ansi we are satisfied his pleaaure, to give his County affairis hiis first and special efforts, anirwe hope he will .be able to dvise some plan by which our County affairs can be more econom ically administered without reducing the efficiency of the service. Governor Ellerbe has given notice to remove all of the State Constables from the cities and towns. He has come to the conclusion to rely upon Ithe municipal authorities to enforce the Dispensary law and thus save to the people the enormous expense of keeping up the constabulary. Wheth er the towns will carry out the wishes of the Governor remains to be seen, and it also remains to be seen if the Governor's action is founded in wis dom. We realize the fact that under the hampered condition of affairs the Constables are practically helpless to enforce the law and their mainten ance is a heavy drain upon the tax payers. Governor Ellerbe is acting for what he believes the best inter ests of the people and we hope the towns and cities will give him a hearty co-operation. There is one thing certain, the removal of the Constables will carry with it the allaying to a very great extent, the irritation and strife Ithat has been existing ever since the constabulary came on, and very many who opposed the law on account of the Constables will now put aside their opposition and lend their influ nce toward enforcing the law.

Irby in an inter riew says there will be trouble when I 1e and Tillman meet. In our opinion his threat of the feather-legged statesman will be disappointing to hose who expect to hear of a person-. 11 collision between the two. A man who nieans to dl personal violence is not likely to post a notice of his in- 1 teutious, and a man of Irby's compo sition -.ill hardly do what his words imply. Irby complains of Tillman going into his section of the State to make speeches and to interfere in the Senatorial contest after professing to be "hands off." We have been watching Tillman's movements in this State since the campaign opened and we have vet to see where there is any foundation !or Irby's claim. If Till man said anything about Irbv, we have not seen it, but then, Irby wants an excuse to relieve himself of the ac cumulation of gas, and he has select ed the most conspicuous object he can iind. If Colonel Irby will take a double lose of Doctor Strait's Toma to-Fig Syrup, followed by a few pills made up of the votes of Charleston, Clarendon, Marion, and other Coun ties, we think he will get cured of his bad case of chagrin. The campaign promise of prosper ity has in a measure struck the wheat growers of the West. but a little in vestigation shows that the Republi can party had nothing to do with it. The European crop of cereals has failed and in India there is a famine. This condi tion has created an unusual demand for American breadstuff' which naturally forces prices up and the farmers of the West are reaping the benefit. The farmers of the South, however, are not getting this benefit, but on the contrary, are suffering from it; they buy their breadstuffs and must pay high prices for it, while their cotton is not bringing a propor tionate price. Cotton continues to go down in the face of a short crop and the necessaries of life grown else where and all manufactured articles made at the North are going up every day. The defeat of John Gary Evans and John. L. .M. Irby is followed with the silliest display of soreness we have ever heard of. Both of them are act ing like children by making grimaces at those wb" could not be induced to support them. Irby wants to whip somebody and Evans swears that Till man shan't play in his yard any more. Poor Tillman is damned if he does, and he is damned if he don't, but we will wager a muscovey drake and a game cock that when Tillman returns from the North, where he is speaking in behalf of true Democ racy, the "rattlesnake notice" will not have to be given, for Irby's outburst against Tillman sounds very much like he is seeing snakes now. McLaurin is elected by over twelve thousand majority. The people are happy and the friends of Irby and Evans are weeping and wailing; Irby is attem'pting to tind solace in utter ing wild and incoherent threats against Tiliman, and Evans is finding consolation in imagining that the people did not know what they were doing when they voted for 3McLaurin. It may be safely said that the result of this election is the passing of poli ticians of the Evans-Irby school and that South Carolina will hereafter give no heed to such. We take pleasure in congratulating the people of Clarendon for the hand some endoisement given to Senator John L. MIcLaurin, and we know the Senator himself is proud of this County. We hope that some day in the near future the people of this county will have the pleasure of see ing and hearing their favorite repre sentative.
