LOUI7S APELT, EDITORi. M A NN ING, S. C.: W EDNESDAY, NOV. 9, 189 AN EXL*LANATION WANTED. We have 'endeavored to bring, to light an explanation froml the proper source, that the taxpayers might un derstand the traisaction by which Iearly $,3,000 were taken away from the school fund to pay for maps and charts; so far we have not succeeded in getting this desired information or explanation, and we still hope that those entrusted with handling the people's money will yet condescend to come down from their lofty perch and give the public the satisfaction of knowing why it was that such extravagance was indulg ed in. when the children are actually suffering for the want of an efficient school service. If those to whom we confidethe great trust of educating our children, are not to give an ac count of their stewardship, then the sooner we change the system the bett. r it will be for those who are to soon shoulder the responsibility of this government. Here in Clarendon County, where the people are taxed for the main tainance of the public shools that the children might at least. get an edueational foundation laid, and where we are constantly complain ing of the short term of free schools, and where many of our people are solely dependent upon the free schools to educate their children, nearly three thousand dollars of the imnc'ey to be collected for the pur pz3e of running the schools is pledg ed for something that could have been dispensed with, at least, until we reached a more prosperous condi tion. For the sake of argument let us say that no swindle has been practiced upon the people, and that the maps and charts reccommended by the State Superintendent of Education, and also by the head of our county board, and purchased by the dis trict trustees, are worth every cent paid or to be paid, and that the things are not worthless as some eminent educators claim; are - i in such a financial condition to aff' -d the luxury? Doe's the pur chase of these things in our present condition display good business judg ment on the part of those entrusted with the spending of our taxes?

The elections yesterday through out the United States places the Democrats in control of the lower house of Congress, and takes North Carolina from under negro domina tion. New York went Republican; Teddy Roosevelt's war tom-toms were too much for Tammany. The whole country was interested in the North Carolina situation, and the people of South Carolina espe cially, prayed earnestly for "white . supremacy' for the sister State. The determination of our brethren and the success whlich followed is only another practical illustration of what white men marching in solid phal anx will do when the race is endan gered. We rejoice to know that our breth ren across the line are in possession of the government, and we hope that the sad experience they have passed through will teach them to stand to gether in the future. The first thing for them to do is to insure white su premnacy by enacting an election law similar to that of South Carolina, and whenever a white man under takes to appeal to the other race, see that his efforts are nipped in the bud. North Carolina shook off her radical yoke by a majority of 50,000. STAT or Onmo, Crr oF ToLEi Lrcas Cors. SS Fraxv J. CHENEY makes oath that be is ti~e semnor partner of the firm of F. J.

Hall's Family Pills are the best. The unexpected happens; while the whole country was watching North Carolina with an intense in terest and expecting every moment for some act of indiscretion to pre eipitate a race war, no one had the least idea of any trouble in this State. But there wvas trouble in Greenwood, near the Edgefield line, and a bloody race riot was caused by a w:hite Republican named Tolbert, in which a very estimable gentleman named Ethridge lost his life and sev eral others were wounded. The trou ble was about a separate box being placed to i-eceive certificates from negroes who were not allowed to vote on account of not having registra tion tickets. T. P. Tolbert, a brother of the Republican candidate for Con gress, was seriously wounded in the The Cainpaiii of 1S9S and its Bearig on National Issues. Although the elections this year are considered to be those of an off year in politics, as only State officers and representatives in Congress were to be elected. yet the result will have a far-reaching effect towards deter mining the sentiment of the people upon the national issues of two years ago. It is true that the financial question, as such. has not actively entered into every State platform and has not been prominently push ed to the front in some of the pivotal States, like New York; yet, in the campaign from the stump and press, old party 1ues have been very sharp lv drawn along the lines which divid ed the country into political parties in the memorable campaign of two years ago, and those who favored the Chicago platform in that contest have opposed the Administration in this. while those who supported the goldstandard in that contest have supported the Administration in this so that the result goes a long way to wards determining whether the ad vocates of bimetallism have lost or gained in strength since the last Pres idential campaign. The questions growing out of the management of the war have been discussed by everybody, but they have changed very few votes; ana the questions of national policy grow ing out of the war have "cut no fig ure' whatever in the control of the result, since they have not been for mulated into political issues by party conventions the discussions and opin ions upon these questions have there fore, been more individual than pol itical, and should not be considered as having been either indorsed or re pudiated by the result of this fall's elections. The Congressional cam paign has hinged almost entirely up on the lines of party-policy, which controlled in the last Presidential campaign, annd nobody knows this fact better than the Administration. Hence, as a natural result of this con sciousness, the Administration has thrown its whole power, prestige and influence into the contest and will regard the result as an indorsement of the election two years ago; or a change of heart, on the part of the people, according as the one or the other 'zMe prevails. Of course, this fact will be vehemently proclaimed, if the result indorses the Adminis tration of President McKinley; and the protestation will be made that the national question two years ago did not enter into the result at all, if the reverse be the showing at the polls. But, as all thinking and ob serving people know, these after election claims are made for political effect and not as indications of the real, heart felt convictions of those who make them. Every republican orator has appealed to the voters whom he has addressed to support the Administration and show that the "heresy of free silver" is dead forever-and to do so by voting for the republican candidates; and every democratic orator has likewise ap pealed to those whom he has addres ed to show their condemnation of the Administration and indorsement of opposition policies-and to do so by voting for the candidates who stand as representatives of the poli cies of opposition announced in the various localities. Not only so, bnt the Administration has worked as hard, spent as much money and ex erted its every energy to control the next House of Representatives, as if te whole policy and success of the Administration hinged upon that condition alone. Although at this writing it is not known what result the people will express at the polls, it is useless to shut our eyes to the fact that the expression~ registered is far-reaching in its significance-as an indication of the sentiment of the people upon the real issues of party policy before this people, and the only real party issues that can be made distinctvely divisional lines of party-fealty until the two representative parties have again assembled in national council and proclaimed new articles of party faith. The campaign has been vig orously waged and the result will come mnighty near indicating the re lalive strength of the political senti ments of the people of the whole country upon the great financial princilles which formed the battle line of t wo years ago.

The Graded School is moving on nicely enough. Teachers and pupils have gone to work in earnest, and -the indications are that we shall have a very prosperous years work. The books for the library for the school have been received and put in the case, and are now ready to be used. They certainly present a nice appearance in their differently col ored bindings. We have started off with one hundred and sixty volumes, and hope to double the number be fore the year is out. The Missionary Rally Day for New Zion Circuit was held at Pine Grove on the fifth Sunday. The nicely ar range program was well carried out, and some good thrusts made for the cause of missions. The paper read by Miss Viola Lavender was espec ia'ily good, being full of food for thought, and withal an inspiration to missionary work. On last Friday evening, there was at Pine Grove a hot supper for the benefit of the new church. It was a success in every particular, and those having the matter in hand certainly d-rve the highest praise. At the ''est estimate the number present was two hundred and nearly all par took of the supper so nicely pre pared by the good ladies of the com munity. Despite the large crowd there wvas nothing to mar the happi ness and general good feeling of those present. Everybody seemed anxious to have everybody else have a good time; consequently it was, indeed, an enjoyale occasion,, and those pres ent will always think of the time with pleasure. One of the best feat ures of the occasion was the selling of beautiful bouquets by one or two of our Christan young ladies. They had their hearts in the work to make something for their church; therefore they did make something, and turn ed over to the committee six dollars and thirty five cents as the outcome of their evenings work. There were various schemes afloat to gather in money, and the whole amount real ized was sixty eight dollars and forty five cents. And the writer feels safe in saying that no one regrets spend ing one cent at Pine Grove on Friday evening Oct. 28, 1898. We need such ccasions more frequently, where we can all be jovial, free-hearted and generous, striving to make one an other happy, and at the same help ing on the noblest work that has ever been instituted. We are expecting to have Prof. C. B. Smith of Wofford College with us on Thanksgiving Day to make a lec ture on Christian Education. Prof. Smith is well known in this section, having served one year as pastor of this crcuit; and we all are looking forward with pleasure to his coming. P The Best Plaster.
