I5U--f One of the most daring feats at robbery ever attempted in this town happened last Thursday night at the residence of Mr. A. 1H. Breedin. TVhe family were all asleep and some rascal lifted a blind on the front piazza, entered the parlor and fromi there passed through all of the sleeping apart inents occupied by the ladies. Ine scoun drel gathered together several articles, but it so happened that. one of the children woke up and its cries aroused its mother. The thief no doubt thinking his game was up, dropped his booty and left without car A new Democratic elnb was organizeZ last Saturday about two miles from Wilson Station, at Mr. W. C.

A man run ninu: for oflice who can show no other qual ification than his view of the lack of quali fieation in his opponent is unworthy of the suffrages of the people. It matters not who he is, the people should want to know the merits of the man seeking their votes, and not be ding-donged at about the other fel low's tritleness. Let this election be a rec ord-breaker by making the primary so de void of petty rumors, scandalous reports and other damaging things that a candidate or his friends will be ashamed to indulge in such. Every man's public record is a matter for criticism and this can be so crit icized that offensiveness will be eliminated. -1 have used Chamberlain's Cough Rem edv in my fami:y for years and always with good results." says Mr. W.

Those who attended the minstrel per formance at the Institute hall last night were entertained to the fullest degree, and those who failed to attend certainly missed a treat. The Summerton Minstrel troupe gave a performance here which was more than creditable: in fact we have seen the boards in Charleston and Columbia not so well mounted. The attendance was only fair, not as good as the company merited, but we think this was largely due to the ex treme heat. The music was delightful and the jokes fresh and full o" snap. The sing ing was great and espec:ally were the solos of Cantain Dick Richardson. The stage last night, from the end man to the inter locutor and from him to the other end man contained the "blackest coons in town." All of the player. did their work well, and we sincerely believe if they can be induced to repeat their visit the receipts will be con siderably increased. The audience seemed captivated with that "black slick coon," Mr. Brooker,who impersonated a darkey to perfction, even to the most minute mo tion, and the same might be said of that long, cadaverous, chicken-stealing looking Parson Burgess. Davis bubbled over with wit and Woodbury handled the boneS like a professional. The Messrs. Brailsford and -Richardson filled the intervals with splen did music, excellently performed, and in fact the whole affair wac one of the best amateur performances we have seen in many a year, and we hope that induce ments will be offered for a return visit.

Marriage at For'eston. Married at Foreston, on Thursday after noon, July 14, at the Methodist church, by he ev. r. E. Wannamaker, grandfather o the bride, Miss Olive Hudgins, youngest dauhter of Mr. George E. Hudgins, to Mr. . N. Robs~on of Chadleston. The church was tastilv decorated, being darkened, and lamps burning, and was filled with friends of the party. The wed dig mar ch was be.au:ifa~ly r.endered by Miss Gussie Barns, the accomplished or gait of the church. At the close of the ereny~L the parties drove to, the depot nd boaded the train for Charleston, their utur. home, their friends covering them COMMENTS 0 The Political Situation aE Other Ne Is it a Con:bination: Wherever the can paigni meettings have been held in the diferent counties, the people are more than ever convinced that the politicians have been at work and have had a perfect understanding among them selves, that no matter who, or which can didate is elected, it miust not be Ellerbe. Every phase of the whiskey question is represented by the ditrrent anti-Dispensa ry candidates, and while they air their dif feren: views as to the best manner of ing with the whiskey question--high l eense, prohibition, etc-his Reform oppo nents are to attack him on Reform lines, accusing him of appointing Conservatives to olice while ignoring Reformers, thieir common object being, the defeat of Gover Ellerbe-one side appealing to the pre judices of the anti-Dispensary Conserva tives, the other side endeavoring to poison the minds of Reformers against Ellerbe on the plea that he has used the prerogative of his office against them in making his ap pointmients. This is a very shrewd way to break down the influence and political merit of a worthy candidate and, ordinarily would succeed; butt happily, the people have had an opportunity to see how the thing is working, and to satisfy themselves that the fight now waging against Gover nor Ellerbe is but the planning and chi canery of shrewd politicians, and the vo ters are having their eyes opened to such low and unjust campaign methods. The Herald has not been one of those who believed that there was any good in that peace-and-unity clamor about which we heard so much two or three years ago, although we have never opposed the com ing together of the rank and file of the vo ters, freed from the wiles and influence of the professional politician. But Governor Ellerbe has shown that he did not advocate peace for the sole purpose of having him self elected Governor of the State. The Conservative faction, indeed both factions, seemed to regard 11r. Ellerbe as the logi cal representative of the peace-and-unity idea, and the people. viewing his candida cy in this light, gave him the largest vote ever polled in South Carolina; and after being thus chosen to bring about this much desired era of good feeling, he proclained in his inaugural address that, as Governor, he would do all in his power to bring about this happy condition, and that in the dis charge of his gubernatorial duties,be would know no faction, but be the Governor of the whole people! And now we submit, that the very lines upon which he is being opposed by the other candidates and some newspapers, shows conciusively that he has carried out his promise. Far knowing LO faction he is being assailed by opposing Reform candidates; for upholding the Dis pensary, Clemson College and the other higher institutions of learning he is being besmirched by his Conservative opponents. Then, in such case, what is the duty of the fair-minded voter, be he Reformer or Con servative? Unless the peace and unity politicians have been using this political slogan for their own selfish purposes, they can not do otherwise than endorse Gover nor Ellerbe's administration; and unless those who are accusing him of slighting or snubbing his own faction desire to debar all Conservatives from appointment to of fle by the Governor, then they also will have to endorse it. We cannot but admire the man who lends his influence to bring about peace and harmony, however much we may have doubted the political policy of such a course or the sincerity of those who first proposed it, notwithstanding we see some ;.of those same advocates, politi cans and newspapers, now opposing it and trying to defeat the very man whom two years ago they elected Governor on a peace and-unity platform. When any man (as Governor Ellerbe has already shown) proves that he is honest and sincere in bis convictions, and consults the interests of the people generally rather than the advice of professional demagogues, no one has the least excuse to blame or criticise his motives; and we are convinced that the en dorsement of Governor Ellerbe's non-fac tional administration by the fair-minded voters will be so overwhelming as to leave no doubt that his memorable declaration, that he would be the Governor of the whole people, has touched a responsive chord in the breast of every honest voter.-Laurens ville Herald. The opponents of Governor Ellerbe do not seem to be making much headway. The only thing which could defeat him has been Colonel Watson's bugaboo of corrup tion, etc., slung about in South Carolina polities so often recently. Colonel Watson has not met the demands of an inquiring public by making good his charges and un less he does so very soon, must of necessity sffer from the recoil of a badly loaded gun. We have great respect for the colonel and are willing to believe that he was honest in is ciearges, but at the same time we think he w mistaken, and we yet believe that if he cann -' substantiate his reflections on the Gova:nt-, in due time he will admit his error. "Un-.e-' Geoi o Tillman, with his char acterh tic honesty and candor has publicly anno need upon :he stump that he believes Govex nor Ellerbe -o be a pure man, saying, as is characteristic of the man, that if he believed him to be otherwise he would say so.-Greenwood Indax.

Governor Ellerbe has been the objeT of much criticism on accont of his appoint ments of officers in the State militia. What ever may be said against the Governor in other respects, he eannot be called a parti san in regard to the appointment of these officers. Ary unpr(judiced man ought to be able to see that circmnstances necessa rily govern nimany matters of this kind, and one in whom is vested the appointing power quite naturally has to select the best men of the difterent politica! parties in such a manner as to conciiat:- the various factions of the people. So far, only two regiients hiave enlisted from South Carolina. Col. Joseph K. Al ston of the old Conscrvtive party, was made colonel of the First Regiment, and nobody can question his ability to lead it. Then such men as Watson began to assail Governor Ellerbe for not appointing a Re former. This attempt to revive factionalism was made for political effect in the present campaign and for nothing else. For these positions brave, courageous military men are needed, whether they belong to any fac tion or to none at all. Governor Ellerbe was elected by the whole people and is right in recognizing no party in a matter of such consequences as the appointment of officers to lead our troops in the present war. When the Second Regiment was to be formed there wias great doubt as to who would command it. Colonel Wilie Jones, Colonel J. G. Wardlaw and Major H. T. Thompson were in the lead for the posi tion. This time Governor Ellerbe desired to select a man who had been allied with a different faction from that of Colonel Al. ston. So Colonel Wilie Jones was appoint ed colonel and Major Thompson lieutenant colonel, and nothing can be said against either. It is to be regretted that there is not a like position for such a man of ability and splendid military training as Colonel Wardlaw. However, to allay any prejudice and satisfy both parties, a competent man from the Reform ranks was chosen. So matters had to be equalized for the Gover nor to provd an executive of the whole State and no faction in it. As to ignoring the regular officers of the militia, that is a matter of no consequence whatever, even if all of them had been dis regarded for others, provided those chosen were better men. But the militia officers have not been ignored. Only two regi ments have been formed and one of the col onels was a colonel in the State militia. Again, we cannot see where the up country has been discriminated against in the appointment of officers. Both the col oriels are from Columbia in the centre of the State, and the capital of it. The up country has a large share of officers below the rank of colonel, and we fail utterly to see where it has been wrongly treated. The larger offices had to fall somewhere. Char leston did not get them, neither did Spar tanburg. Columbia did. Quite rightly men and factions, and not sections, were considered. What we have said need not be con strued as an unconditional endorsement of Governor Ellerbe's administration and as an indication as to whom we will support. We have not entered the lists as Governor Ellerbe's champion, but we do like to see a man given credit for the good he does. The Governor has been the object of much tin just criticism and abuse. He has made ap pointments from both factions and from the different sections as well as he could, for the reason that he has tried to be an executive of the people and would not be a partisan in the hands of any party. We respect him for his independence of action and firmness in what he believes to be right -Trenton (Edgefield) Call: We have the highest respect for and con fidence in the Hon. George D. Tillman and sincerely wish that at least two Governors could be elected at one time. But we think that he has entered the race at an inoppor tune moment. According to the traditions of the State, Governor Ellerbe is entitled to re-election on his past record as an hon est man who has endeavored to do his duty to his State without regard to old factional ties. His whole energies have been direct ed to the extermination of factional lines. If he has made enemies in the puirsuance of this most laudable course, we honor him for those enemies whom he has made and confidently believe that all right thinking men will commend him for the same. The honesty of purpose and sterling worth of "Uncle" George Tillman has ap pealed to the good will of the whole people of our State and we doubt not with the present Governor out of the race he would be overwhelmingly elected on the firzt bal lot. His candidacy however has been ill timed and ill advised and ne is destined to defeat under the c.rcumstances, not be cause of any fault o: his, but by the inex orable, unwritten law of South Carolina, which says that p 'Governor of the State, seeking re-electicd, is entitled to the same unless his e'ouduct in the first term was such as to hled him up to public scorn and brand him is a social pariah.-Gireenwood Index.

In announcing myself a candidate for the office of State Senator I think it proper to define my position on one of the leading questions now be fore the people-Prohibition. I be lieve the dispensary law to be the most practical liquor regulation that we can have at present and its en forcement makes it a temperance measure, beeun.se as long as the United States government permits persons to receive liquor froma out side of the State for "personal use," just so long will prohibition fail to prohibit. My idea of a true representative of the people, is to let the pet'ple know his views on a question of such im portance, and if the people whom he represents differ with him and a ma jority express that difference of opin ;on at the ballot box, it is the duty of said representative to respect their wishes. Now. therefore, in order to learn whether a majority of the vot ers favor prohibition, I will request the county chairman to provide a separate box at each precinct and furnish tickets printed "Prohibition" and "Dispensary." Should the "Pro ibtion" ticket receive a majority of the votes cast, I will pledge myself to vote for and work earnestly for pro bibition,feeling that to do otherwise, I would be misrepresenting the ma jority. I also pledge if elected, to make a study of the county's needs and work for its interests. Louis APPELT. For House of Representatives. I hereby announce myself a candi date for the Legislature. C.
