IS ME THE MAN Darlington has not, for many years, presented a candidate for office be yond her own borders. Circumstan ces are now such that she feels more than justified in doing so. Mr. 3. W. McCullough, formerly of Greenville County, now a Darlingtonianl, is pre sentedf by friends frcnm both sections as a candidate for the office of super intendent of the Penitentiary. The Press of Darlington and the people here heartily endorse the candidacy of Mr. McCullough. and hope to see his election.-Cor. News and Courier. We remember during the dispensa ry troubles in Darlington, there was a McCollough who made himself quite conspicious in stiring up trou ble, and was among the number that followed the Constables to the depot which precipitated the riot. It is said, that at the first crack of a rifie McCullough outran a pair of horses which had become frightened by the noise of the guns. Is he the same McCullough? If he is, somebody ought to tell him that the guards at the penitentiary tote ridles and his nerves are liable to get such a shock that the high brick walls may not be able to hold him at his post. That McCullough is too nervous. The Maria Teresa, one of the Span ish war ships that was sunk at Santi ago has been raised and is now on her way to the Norfork navy yard. Senator Marion Butler of North Carolina, the Populist leader, has an nounced himself for "white suprem acy" and will co-operate with the Democracy to restore "white man's rule" in the only Southern State where negro domination exists. Judge C. P. Townsend, assistant attorney general, has resigned his po sition and accepted a private secre taryship under Senator John L. Mc Laurin. Judge Townsend is one of the ablest lawyers in the State and we have no doubt but that he will find a profitable field for his profes sion in Washington. There is a man living in Alabama by the name of Dunning, who claims that he is the author of Senator Mc Laurin's speeches. He has written a letter to the Greenville News in which he threatens to bring suit against the Senator. WVe do not know who is at the bottom of this devilment, but its dollars to doughnuts that dirt is at its foundation. The occupation of troops in Colum bia means a regular windfall for the business interests of that city this winter; atout $75,000 each month will be paid out to the soldiers and three-fourths of that amount will be spent right there. This is from one brigade only; if there should be an other sent as is very likely, the amount of business will be increascd accordingly. Columbia should al ways feel under obligations to our United States Senators, for it was through their efforts this golden op Charleston's "Fall Festival" was a grand success and the visitors from all over the State came away highly pleased with the way they were en tertained. There was not as large a crowd as heretofore, due principally to the depressed condition of the peo ple's finances, but those present agree that Charleston maintained her well earned reputation for hospitality on the European plan. Senator McLaurin is in North Car olina raking the welkin ring with Democratic doctrine, and his speech es are having the effect of bringing back into the fold, hundreds who wandered off into the populistic camp. When it comes to making a fight for white supremacy McLaurin and Till man are heavy draught horses that will drag the people of the Old North State from the mire of despondency. The State Fair opens 14th inst., and continues to 18th inst. inclusive. The management has gone to extra ex pense to provide entertainment for the vast crowd expected, and already additional help has been employed to arrange for the exhibits. It is expect ed that the exhibits will be larger than any year heretofore and the best attractions that can be, are being secu.ed to furnish pleasure and amus ment for the crowds. The newspapers throughout the State are indulging in a lot of hypo critical rot about the Edgefield lynch. ing. Those Edgefield people knew their business and they attended to it. Now, those editors whose nerves have been so terribly shattered be cause of the lynching of three negro's for the foul murder of an innocent lady on her way home to her children, had better go over to Edgefield and deliver a lecture to the "mob" instead of giving their readers a dose of their hypocrisy. Senator George F. Hoar, of Massa chusetts, the Nestor of the United States Senate is to deliver an address before the Charleston New England Society. Last year we believe it was, that Col. R.B. Watson of Ridge Spring was a guest at this distinguished So ciety's dinner, accompanied by the distinguished editor of the News and Courier. Colonel Watson was not the principle orator of the evening, but he orated just the same, and it did'nt make him governor either. Hey! brother Hemphill? It is very evident that Colonel yames H. Tillman and editor N. G. Gon zales have very little love for each other; the antipathy dates farther than the organization of the first reg iment. We remember having heard of Colonel Tillman's rejection as a member of the Columbia club, or the South Carolina Society and a duel1 between he and the editor of the State was looked for-it did not come off. Then a little episode in a Washington barber shop was not calculated to cause these gentlemen to have a warm love for one another. A close reader, (d dhe State can detect a spirit of par :iality against Col Tillman. Notwithstanding this, James Till man will come out of the army, the most popular officer of the First Reg iment. Uncle Sam is determined to scoop in the Phillipine group of islands, and thus give the American people more intricate problems to solve. What this country wants with a barbarian population attached to it, is a conun drum sure. The American commis sioners, under the instructions of President McKinley have notified Spain that it is their intention to take the entire group of Phillipine Islands, and that the United States wvill assume so much of the debt as was spent for public works, and permanent better ments. Just why the commission agrees to assume any portion of the debt is not made clear; it could with as much grace take the Islands and make the Phillipinos paid the debt too. This new acquisition of terri tory will be an elephant on the hands of this country and before many years roll around, we will be glad to un load it for a price "less than cost." The News and Courier of last Mon day says: "Senator Appelt's paper, THE MN maTh TmD, says that the dispensary won at the last primary election in spite of the strong opposition to it. Most people are of the opinion, howv ever, that 'the champion of the dis pensary' would have been defeated but for the support of the opponents of the dispensary who voted for him upon the assurance that he would fa vor high license legislation or local ption in regulating the whiskey traf fic. It is strange how the promises that were made for the Governor on the eve of the primary election are overlooked-" All of such stuff as "most people are of the opinion" etc, is the sheerest kind of poppycock. The advocates of the dispensary did win in spite of combinations of saints and sinners, politicians out of jobs, and those who felt their grips upon their jobs loos ening. We have personal knowledge of the fact that men voted for Feath erstone in the second primary, who Iare strong believers in the dispensary system, and they voted for Feather stone for no other reason than Feath erstone was a Conservative. 'These same men were loud in their profes sions to do away with factionalism, at the same time whenever a choice was to be made between a Conserva tive and a Reformer, qualification and merit was not considered, and they voted for the Conservative. It was so in the second primary, Featherstone being a conservative got most of the votes of that faction, while the Prohi bition Reformers who voted for Feath erstone were beguiled into the idea that they were voting for a religous principle. The opposition to the fac tion in power, played a shrewd game in the last primary, but they did not win, nor can they play that game any more. The scheme to capture the government was so adroitly managed that, before the other side could see into the game, it had so completely blinded a large proportion of our vo ters, it was useless to undertake to expose the hypocrisy. We do not believe that Ellerbe re ceived support from the anti-dispen saryites to any great extent; possibly, in the city of Columbia, somo oppo nents to the dispensary system voted for him, but they did so for other reasons than any "promises that were made for the governor on the eve of the primary election." The large vote given Ellerbe in Columbia was in ap preciation of his friendliness to that city, when Charleston was doing her level best to get the troops mobilized in that city. The anti-dispensary newspapers may turn and twist as they may, but the fact stands out that a majority of the people of this State want liquor controlled, and they be lieve that under the dispensary sys tem they have the stuff as near under control as it can be gotten. We do not believe as long as the present system of drawing juries stands, that violators of the dispensa ry law can be convicted in Charleston or Columbia, because the officials who have the filling of the boxes in charge, stand in with the men who violate the law, it is for this reason that the dis pensary law is not enforced in Char l6ston and Columbia, where barrooms are run openly. We are satisfied that something will have to be done by the coming session of the General Assembly to remedy the evils now existing with regard to the enforement of the law. That evils exist there can be no doubt the constable system will have to be completely revolutionized if not re moved entirely and a new system inaugurated.

Thbis Administration is em inntly one of infamies; from thle day of inauguration down to this good our there has not been one solitary hour when the present regime was free from giving its active aid and good offices in furthering some gigan ti steal, filehing enterprise or con scinceless scheme of popular looting plundering or robbing; but this "bond-sndicate steal of Philippine infamy" puts the blush upon the cheek of any other attempt at bold, brazeu, outrageous infamy ever before perpe trated up)on the people of this coun try under the auspices of their own Government. Mr. McKinley and his co-adjutors in crime actually propose to pledge the credit,faith and honor of our great Government towards guar anteeing the payment at par of some $40,000,000 Philippine bonds which Hanna-Elkins-Atkins-MCook and others have recently purchased at about 15ents on the dollar. But it is attempted to conceal the deep infamy of the whole transaction behind a er thin and transparent subterfuge-an effort to do even and exact justice to wards Spain by paying her "some thing" for the Philippine. The secret of Mr. McKinley's sudden conversion to expansionist ideas recently is found in his first grasping full knowledge of the huge proportions and infamous iniouity of this latest "highway rob bery" Ibv the hami-strung and quar terd in' the interest of public decen y and popular safety. It is announc ed that the Administrationi is agreed that it is "only fair that Spain should receive pay'ment for the Phili ppine-s, whether it be $40,000,000, or more or less." But the Administration's sud den conversion and mysterous change of front on the whole question is to e found in the bond-guarentee scheme. These bonds do not mature for thirty- nine years yet and are not held by either Spain or Spaniards and it is only a subterfuge to say that this immense bonus is demanded by Spain before she will quietly submit to a peaceful surrender of her Philippine colonies. Why should Spain hang so much importance upon the hundreds of millions of debt hanging over her on account of Cuba? Why should she s positively and subtlety make this the fulcrum-point upon which all fur ther peaceful negotiations hinge? Why should she give up Cuba and still stand responsible for the hun dreds of millions of Cuban bonds and still say that she will suffer torment and go the way to perdition before she will give up the Philippines and. stand responsible for some 840,000, 000? Has all of Spain suddenily gone mad or has it beeni suggested to her that the United St ates can be induced to pay an immense bonus? There can be but one answer to that ques tion. Sagasta has never been ac cused of beinganyhody's fool, and lhe would have to be the veriest fool upon earth to have taken the stand which he is represented as having taken without some such pointer as the one evidently given to him. But it is safe to say the American people are on to the Administration's curves or will be before this infamous scheme has been finally consummated. Con gress will be called upon in the pre mises; the Senate will have to ratify the treaty and the House and Senate both will have to assent to the pay ment of the bonus and appropriations necessary to consummate the deal. But are the people going to stand by idly and see this infamy consummat ed and raise no voice of opposition? If they do they will have no one to blame but themselves. If they are going to leave all in the hands of an Administration which is at the beck and call of a gang of thieves, they can expect nothing but robbery and filch ing to characterize all the acts and deeds purporting to be done in their names and in their behalf. It would be a good thing for the people to give the Administration sone sort of hint as to how they feel in the premises in the fall elections. An out and out popular repudiation of the Adminis tration might save the people not only money and taxes, but a vast amount of trouble and everlasting annoyances.
