W., Washington. D. C. NORTHERN REPUBLICANS AND DEMO CRATS ALIKE. There are those who, for the purpose of fanning the flames of prejudice, for political purposes, are endeavoring to make our Southern people believe that giv ing social recognition to negroes, is confined to members of the Re publican party, but we will not permit our readers to be fooled by any such deception. President Roosevelt had Booker T. Wash ington todine with him-a court esy very pleasing to President Roosevelt no doubt, by very re pugnant to our Southern social system. No one will deny that the president had a right to in vite to his table any one he might desire, but the selection of his own guests, can influence the standing of the President in so cial matters with people who will not accept the negro as a social equal; those who regard the President a man of low social tastes can refuse to put them selves on a social plane with him. But this "nigger" loving is not confined to the Republi cans, Democrats at the North are tarred with the same black stick as will be noted from the telegram of President Cleveland's Post Master General, and former law partner, which was withheld from print by certain newspapers that are trying to make every incident count for political ad vantage: New Haven. Oct. 23.-An incident attending Booker T. Washington's social recognition occured today when he received an invitation to dine with treasurer Tyler with three other guests. Among them was ex-Postmas ter General Bissell of Buffalo. Mr. Bissell sent a note to Mr. Tyler accep ing as a special honor the invitation to dine with Washington and asking that the fact be publicly announced. Prest. Hadley also asked Washington to din ner. Ever since the Roosevelt Washington incident the "State" has been making far-fetched efforts to draw McLaurin into the line of the fire of the people's wrath, and insulting the intelli gence of the people by indirectly charging that McLaurin is try ing to bring about a condition of social equality between the whites and blacks. McLaurin would not meet on a social plane with Washington nor would he give aid and encouragement to George W. Murray to break up our franchise laws. McLaurin is an advocate and defender of White Supremacy, as is evidenc ed by the results of the influence he has succeeded in exerting so far. But fighting the franchise clause of our State constitution was jeopardizing the Supremacy of the white man, and this is just what the State and its Republi can allies did. Ex-Postmaster General Bissell is a Democrat ansl in his response to the invitation to dine with Washington he boastingly de clares it a special honor, and proudly wants the same to be known. Therefore the social equality matter is not political, it is simply a matter of individ ual taste-the taste, but there is no accounting for tastes, nor any law to prevent people from grat ifying them. If as we have be fore-said they want to eat, drink, sleep, dance,or marry with those of negro blood, let them have the pleasure, but don't try to fool people into believing that, the wineing and dining of negroes is confined to Republicans. CHARACTERISTIC SPLEEN. A report has reached us the effect that the intimations pub lished in the Columbia State, with regard to George R. Koes ter's connection with lynching some years ago. has reached President Roosevelt and he is having the matter investigated. If there is truth in the State's hints that Koester was connected with a lynching bee and claimed the privilege of getting the "first shot," there is a strong probability that the collectorship will not be given to him after all. Now that Koester has been ap pointed it would be a great pity should his enemies succeed in keeping out of the office by rak ing up a news paper man's pres ence at a lynching. The report as it comes to us places the furnishing of the lynching in formation at the State's ofiice. It was in the State wher-e Koes ter's alleged connection with a lynching was published. It is a notorious fact, that the editor of the State, and Mr. Koester are very unfriendly, what is between them we do not know, but it strikes us, to en deavor to have an opponents commission held up because of unfriendliness, is carrying a pri vate grudge a long ways. If, when Koester was connected with The Register he got wind of a lynching and went to it, we Courier the wide-awake Wat son of The State were there also, but they were there as reporters and not as partici pants in the lynching. This thing of bearing malace is a miserable business, and no brave man will go out of his way to throw obstructions in the way of a man's livlihood. even if he be an enemy. In our opinion there is a con spiracy on to defeat every ap pointment recommended by Senator McLaurin. We are in formed that Senator Tillman has declared he would fight all such appointments, and from the way his new ally, the State. is going on, the two must understand each other, but chickens will come home to roost, when unfair and spiteful tactics are used to accomplish the defeat of an op ponent, these things recoil, and the persecutors are hoisted with their own petards. If Koester was a lyncher and The State is so bitterly opposed lynching, with the proof at its hand, why did not the conscien tious editor of The State swear out a warrant for the arrest of Koester at the time, and have him prosecuted in the courts? Had- he done this, his position on lynching would have carried sin cerity with it. But oh no, about that time the bitter personal feel ing did not exist and, for what we know, they may have been friends, and it is only to gratify a personal grudge then that The State keeps quiet on Koester's lynching record until an office looms up in sight. If the motive prompting the State's fight on Koester is malice, its utterances should not have weight, even if it can prove that Koester when comparatively a boy, took part in a lynching. PLATFORMS END WITH DEFEAT. Party platforms are made for the campaign to be entered upon. when the fight is made and lost, the platform promises ends with the defeat, and those who stood upon it must geek something else to offer the voters. The Chicago platform was not ac cepted, neither was the Kansas City platform, and the Democ racy all over the country is look ing about for an issue which will meet with the approval of the people. The Democratic party cannot again go to the country with the twice defeated platforms; it would be laughed off the stump, therefore it must fid another leader. Bryan could not afford to accept a nomi nation which did not carry with it 16 to 1, and to have it, would mean the piling on of party dis aster. Democrats differing at this stage of the game is nothing but skirmishing to bring out the various views, and out of the multitude of them, something will be gathered to make a party platform. The question has been asked us "why get off the platform before another is made?" Because to swing on to a plat form in spite of defeat would be childish obstinacy, and only ac knowledging the people's depen dence upon politicians to think for them. If the party platform had anything to do with the de feat and it can be pointed out, it is the duty of the man dis covering the defect to make it known and to use his best efforts to find a remedy. Politicians, whose interests it is to keep things as they are, will not tol erate any criticism of their work, and when an attempt is made to show a spirit of independence th.ey raise- a tremendous clamor that a white Republican party is be ing organized, and when a news paper or an individual asserts his independence, motives are at once questioned. These tactics are nothing new, it was a game the old politicians worked until it became threadbare and the people are tired of it. "Hush you'll split the party" worked for a time, but Tillman came along, and although they charg ed him with being in league with the Republicans to Mahonize this State, he won and the party did not split, except the little chip that fell from the log, in 1890. To differ with the party platform, and to seek to make a new one does not endanger the party at all, especially when it is proposed to discuss the issues in the party primary and stand by the result. The politicians do not want the issues discussed, they would much prefer resort ing to trickery to drive out of the party, men they fear to trust the people with. If we have a fair and open primary, as we have always had, there will be great surprises to many politi cians. Deafness Cannot be Cured by local applications, as they cannot re.ch the diseased portion of the ear. There is only one way- to cure deafness, and that is by constdtu tioal remedies. Deafness is caused by an in flamed condition of the mucous lining of the Eustachian Tube. When this tube gets inflam ed you have a rumbling sound or imperfect hear ing, and when it is entirely closed deafness is the result. and unless the inflammation can be taken out and this tube restored to its normal condition.hearing will be destroyed forever: nine cases out of ten are caused by catarrh. which is nothing but an inflamed condition of the mu cou wil cei-e One Hundred Dollars for any case of Deafness (caused by catarrh) that can not be cured by Hall's Catarrh Cure.

If he should become a candidate it will take a hustler to win over him. Aull has the friendship ef every news paper man worth having, and besides he is personally acquaint ed with people in every county in the State. It would afford us great pleasure to support Col onel Aull, if Clarendon has no candidate for the place, and so far we have heard of none who will likely run. Aull will cer tainly be our choice, next to a home man. C. -M. Phelps, Forestdale, Vt, says his child was completely cured of a bad case of eczema by the use of DeWitt's Witch Hazel Salve.

The merchants all over this section of the State are very much demoralized over the col lection outlook, and unless some thing comes along to relieve the people, the prospect for next year is very discouraging. un less the merchants can collect, they will not be able to advance, and without advances what are the people to do, after depend ing on the advance system so long? With a short grain crop, and unpaid debts, the prospect for farmer and merchant is in deed gloomy.

This rush of cotton to the ports is caused by the coming due of fall paper, and is not an indication that a large crop has been made. The influx cannot last much longer, because the crop a] 1 over the entire cot ton belt is short and very short. The manufacturers have not en tered the market yet, and when they do enter, and it is realized how short the crop, we look for a rapid advance in price. Just when this much desired day will come we cannot say, but better prices must come if supply and demand cut any figure at all.

Charleston has two, and Orangeburg only one so far, but with a strong probability another. Judge Benet was one of the ablest Judges on the bench and his retirement is to be regretted. It would have been a great pleasure for us to have cast our vote for him, but now that he is not to be consid ered, and not knowing enough about those who are announced, to make a choice, we will wait until all of the entries are made before making a selection.

The con tant tirades of abuse and petty misrepresentations has at last at racted attention sufficiently to make us inquire after the ail ment of this distinguished edi or. If the junior Senator has seen fit to ignore Mr. Ayer on' some occasion, that is no reason why the public should be made to suffer. Editor Ayer and a couple more little echoes of the State dont seem contented with their lot and they imagine that Senator McLaurin whom they assigned to political perdition long ago, is the cause of all of their woes. It really does seem strange to us that a man like editor Ayer who lives near a rail-road station cannot find anything to write besides the abuse of McLaurin. The Flor ence Times and some of the other dailies have time and again declared that McLaurin is defeat ed in advance of the primary, these newspapers have said it, and it must be so; the people are not in it, yet, they hardly let a day pass brt what they belie their own ) rds, by showing that McLaurin's defeat is not so certain as they would like. Keep on Ayer. and those you are imitating, the people are watching the effect of your tac tics. "I had long suffered from indiges tion" writes G. A. LeDeis, Cedar City, Mo.

Many Southern newspapers in discussing the Booker Washing ton incident have taken the ground that in dining the negro at the White House the Presi dent has negatived all his pro fessions of friendship for the South by going out of his way to heap upon the Southern people an unnecessary insult. We do not believe that the President intended by his action to insult anyone, and so far as the South is concerned we do not believe he gave this section a thought in connection with the matter. Towards the act per se, of din ing with a negro upon terms of social equality it is impossible for a Southern man to feel anything but a sense of revul sion. It is an impossibility for the Southern bred gentleman to un derstand the existence of a dif ferent feeling in any other white man. The Washington incident, therefore. is a matter which we of the South decline to discuss from a social standpoint. The negro problem has never been a social problem in the South; it never can be. The fact that the President of the United States and the President of Yale College and other prom inent dignitaries have seen fit to dine with a negro upon terms of social equality tends to degrade Northern society by inducing other prominent social leaders in that section to display what they term their independence of thought and action, but it can have no hurtful effect upon so cial conditions in the South. Those conditions will not be changed one scintilla. South of Mason and Dixon's line the ne gro will continue to dine in the kitchen, so to speak, with only those of his color. The fact that a prominent representative of the negro race has found in the North and East prominent white men who consider him their social equal should not dis turb -he South. When some prominent Southern gentleman descends to the negro's social level it will be time enough for the South to become alarmed. That time will never come. We repeat that the President had nc thought of insulting the South when he dined the negro Washington at the White House. Had he so intended he would have arranged his dining so that Mr. Clark Howell, a repre sentative Southerner, who re cently dined with the President, would have found himself upon terms of social equality with the negro. The President, however appears to have confined his so cial recognition of the negro to his family circle. The South will continue to regulate its so cial affairs according to instincts and principles which are to the manor born and which so far as the negro is concerned, will be no more influenced by the so Special Notice Our Friends Our GROCER IES are fresh and flne.

Pyny-Balsam Relieves Right Away and makes a speedy end of coughs and colds. "Lord, Kindly Light" In reprinting below Cardinal New man's famous hymn, which ii said to have been one of President McKinlev's favorites, the Indianapolis Journal has given the version used in-"L ra An-licana," a hymnal of sacred poetry published by the Appletpns in 1865. The difference is in the first line only -"Lord, Kindly Light:" but it is an1 important difference, the opening word adding a force which the invoca tion otherwise lacks. It is presuma bly the form in which the line came from Newman's pen. though the other has been incorporated in the hymnal in common use and is the only one known to most readers. In the "Lyra Anglicana" the hymn is called. "The True Light," and reads thus: THE TRUE LIGHT. Lord, Kindly Light, amid the encircl ing gloom, Lead Thou me on. The night is dark and I am far from home: Lead Thou me on! Keep Thou my feet, I do not ask t- see The distant way; one step's enough for me. I was not ever thas. nor prayed that Thou. Wouldst lead me on: I love to see and choose my path. but now Lead Thou me on. I loved the garish day, and, spite of fears, Pride ruled my will: remember not )ast years.
