The political conditions are such as to put the wisest to serious thought to know our status. The Washington Sena tors in the Democratic party have organized themselves. into a caucus, to which they have in vited silver Republicans, and Populists, men who have never had any affiliation with the Dem ocratic party except on the free silver question, and without seek ing to ascertain the wishes of the people of this State, virtual lv read Senator McLaurin out of the party, by declining to provide any committee appointments for him, thus forcing the Republi can majority to place him. The purpose of this is plain. Sena tor McLaurin did not conceal his utter lack of confidence in the present Democratic leadership, and this, together with the per sonal hatred between himself and Senator Tillman, it was with very little effort Tillman succeeded in getting Jones the national chairman to join him in discrediting McLaurin so as to cripple him at home, and thus help Tillman carry out his nefari ous scheme to prevent McLaurin from presenting his side of the contention to the people in the primary. - The whole scheme is as plain as day light. Jones, Teller and the other leaders of Democracy will use their utmost endeavors to prevent McLaurin from pro mulgating his views, they are afraid of his arguments, and as long as they remain in leader ship, Tillman can count upon their influence to help him crush McLaurin. We do not know what effect this action will have on McLaurin. but we cannot see what the Democratic minority in the Senate can gain, when it combines with Teller Repub licans who robbed us of the Presidency in 1876 and con verts itself into a band of politi cal tricksters to carry out a little scheme to rid themselves of a member whom they cannot con trol or intimidate. The action of the Democratic-Republican Populist caucus, will be held up in our State convention as or ders from headquarters to take such action as will prevent McLaurin from en tering the primary, and should the convention take such action and carry out the plot. all of us will be bound by it, and forced against our will to commit an outrage against freedom So far as we are concerned, our allegiance to the Democratic party comes first; if that party commits an injustice, no matter how foul, we must stick to it, and hope for time to undo it. There is no fear of the party being sev ered by the action of a few design ing leaders. We can afford to sub mit to the outrages of selfish poli ticians, until the people are con vinced of the wrong, and then come in for our share of the glory when the people themsel ves cry out for justice. If our State convention in its wisdom rules against free speech, and free action in our primaries, then the only remedy is to repu diate at the polls every man who voted to throttle us. There are some great ques tions to be solved affecting the future of this country, and if we are to be a part and parcel of this government, it is our duty to study these questions and act upon them as intelligent beings, but how can this be done if our leaders manipulate matters so as to prevent these questions get ting before us? Are we to be kept in ignorance of public mat ters as the negroes were in the days of carpet bag ruler In those days the leaders handed down the orders, and the masses carried them out. If National Chairman Jones, under whose leadership the Democratic party suffered two defeats, the last more than the first, is to dictate who shall be considered a Demo crat, or what is Democratic, then we see no use for a vote by the people or why we shall have a convention; just let Jones, Tel ler, Tillman and, their kind, get together and tell us how we shall vote and who we shall vote for. But in South Carolina we cani not afford to be independent af ter our party has taken action, until then however, everyv man has a right to give expression to his thoughts, and if lhe cannot succeed in getting his par-ty over to his way of thinking he must submit to the action of the ma jority--majority rule is Demo cratic and right. When we con tend for freedom of speech. we mean within our party r-ules, we want to discuss freely and can didly public questions. If there are those who differ with us ax e want them to give their views freely and candidly also, then when we have done this. the people are the arbitrators and bow to it. I, they decide agamiist us. and we are still of the same opinion. we simply renew the tight in the next campaign, and redouble our efforts to make our arguments convincing. There are some positions Senator Me Laurn has taken. which we ad mit we are not competent to understand-they are too m11 tricate for us and they involve more study than we can apply to thei, but there are others whici meet Our hearty approval and we believe that it is to the interest of the masses that he should not be prevented from from giving an account of his stewardship to the people whose cominission he holds. Senator Tillman bantered him to resign, and we are glad that McLaurin did not allow his enemy to goad him into resigning, because the present legislature has given a strong indication of its subser vency to Tillman's will and the result would have been a fore gone conclusion-the endorse ment of Tillnan and the election of anybody Tillman dictated. If Tilhnan i's so very anxious to have an exciting campaign, he can get into this summer's cam paign by tendering his resigna tion in time to be a candidate and enter the primary. He need not wait for McLaurin to resign, because if McLaurin desires a re-election he must go before the people this coming summer. When the South Carolina legis lature adjourns if Tillman is so cock-sure he will be re-elected and he wants a tilt with McLau riin, let him resign then, and if he does, perhaps both McLaurin and himself will not be returned but two new men will be sent -who will content themselves with attending to the people's business instead of nursing their individual jealousies. People are getting tired of these rows between public men, and if they cannot get along in public po sition without quarrelling, we say send them home where they caln quarrel in private. NOW FOR PROGRESS. We are living in a day of ad vancement and on every hand there are great exertions being made to get in with the march of progress, and it is usually the case that with all of the great enterprises, one man starts the ball in motion, and by his persistence and confidence in the scheme he induces others, with a result, that hislabors are a bless ing to the community. In our own town we have just such a man, Mr. W. Scott Harvin has for a number of years made a study of the progress of indus trial enterprises in this State He watched their effect upon the communities in which they were located and imbued with a spirit to help himself and at the same time be a helper to his fellow man, with his own limited means he set the example by investing his money in, and establishing what is known to-day through out the Union as "The Manning Hosiery Mill." This institution has been a great success finan cially to its projector, as well as to many poor white people, who could not maintain a decent existence upon their farms; Now these same people not only have steady work where they make a comfrtable livlihood, but they are in close touch with day and Sunday schools, churches and and all that goes toward aiding the good influences necessary for good citizenship. The Man ning Hosiery mill has beer- a blessing to many and a financial! elp to the commercial interests >f 'the town. Every merchant in the place has felt the effect of its pay roll. If what has been ccomplished by one citizen with limited means, what can be ac cmplished by a community of citizens with combined nmeans? Mr. Harvin in his letter to us rges the organization of an in ustrial enterprise which will not only benefit the town of Man ning, but the entire county of Clarendon will share the bene fits: in fact, if we have a well onducted cotton mill here, there is every reason to believe the farmers will get for their cotton from one-fourth to one-half cent :ore per pound than without such an institution, and if we are correct in this, the money nvested to put a cotton mill in to operation goes back to the people in a very short time, in the way of more money for their produce. We therefore say that itis to the interest of every otton farmer, be he black or hite, to join Mr. Harvin in :ringing about the culmnina:ion f this happy result. Just as Mr. Harvin says, where there is mill a market is opened up for all kinds of produce, small far :ers living close by can make a omfortable living supplying vegetables, owners of property reap a benefit by the advance of real estate caused by a demand for property. With a cotton ill here, having a payroll of sev arl thousand dollars per month, new life would be infused into u- commercial body. and trade conditions would become more viorous aind more attractive to buyers of merchandise. We sincerely hope that Man ning, and in fact, the p~eople of the county will think ser-iously of this matter,. and remember that this is a proposition for mu tual benefit. We arme glad that Mr. Harvin is not discour-aged,. and that he still has hope of see ing the people of this c'ommuni v arouse themselves to their: own interests. With such a uan, in whom the people have every confidence pressing the schme we believe the p~eole will wake up after a while. As a citizen we can promise to give ieady we have been taikim th matter up with friends and w< feel authorized to sav, if the citi zens of this comniunity want ( cotton il we can secure sub s(criptiolls to the amount of i50m and promise to do so just as soo1 as we see an earnest etffot b) those who will be mostly bene tited-the business men.

Til den the Democratic nominee, and this same Teller wanted con gressional interference to pre vent the disfranchisment of ne groes in the south. Today, hE is still a Republican on all ques tions, but silver, and yet he is admitted into the -Democrati< eaucus, and votes to refuse as signments for Senator McLaurin. Is it any wonder that a man witl: the pride of McLaurin refuses tc be 16' by such leaders? Look~ over tne roll of the Democratic Senatorial caucus, and it is dom iated by Silver Republicans and Populists, men who never voted a Democratic ticket in their lives until the silver issue was sprung, and only then, because they were personally interested in silve: mining industry. The life-lona Democratic Senators aside fronr a few from the South are a small minority in the much prated Democratic caucus which Sena tor McLaurin declines to bE shackled by. AlNew Remedy.

Every Senator must be assign A to committee work, in Wash ington, the custom has been to permit the minority party in power to suggest or rather ask the majority for assignments. The Demnocratic minority under the leadership of Senator J. K. Jones, head of the round bale trust, Teller, a rank Republican nd Southern hater. Tillman a personal enemy, influenced th~e Democratic minority to not ask for assignments for Senator icLaurin, thus forcing the Re publican majority to place him yherever they saw tit. Now the opponents of McLaurin are Lsing this circumstance to cre ate the impression amnong the people that McLaurin is no long er a Democrat, and they will attempt to extend the Washing ton conspiracy to South Carolina and lit it so that McLaurin will naot be p~ermlitted1 to go into our primary. They will not, in words, say that McLaurin shall niot enter, but they will strike the sand-bag blow, by requir ing a pledge directly in opposi tion to what McLaurin has been adocating, knowing that he is too honorable to do as others have done, take a false pledge. [f the party pledge remains as it has always been, McLaurin :'an go before the people, and they will be the judges of his :emocracy, but if the scheming politicians are permitted to have their way a trick-pledge will be zoncocted and the people will be robbed of their rights.

This will be our last issue for the year 1901. We have endea vored to give our readers not on ly a readable newspaper, but it has been our purpose to put foward such views as we be lieved were for the best inter ests of the people, We know, - at times our ideas did not meet with approval. but believing that our readers recognize our right to submit for their con sideration such views as we may hold, we did not hesitate to let them have such in a fair, free and open manner: we despise hypocrisy, hate vaccilation and fawning, and to run a newspa per with one eye over the shoul der to see the effect of our writings, would make us scorn ourself. It has been our endea vor to be frank and honest, and all men who pursue a similar course must necessarialy meet with opposition: it then becomes a race between honesty of pur pose, and sycophancy, which re quires but a short time for the people to decide. It is indeed satisfactory to us to realize that our efforts to give the people a first class journal is appreciated, and every day are we receiving evidences of continued confidence and even from some who differ from us on national questions. The year is nearing its end, and we will have reached another mile stone on the road of life in a few days, let us all put the past behind us, and resolve to let the future be brighter for us and those depen dent upon us; let us put aside our petty differences, if we think ill of a man, brush aside the thought and take a new start with him. Life is too short for men to harbor malice, and mal ice should have no place in a true man's breast. Of Benefit to You. D. S.

Brogdon, Dec. 19.-The cry of "hard times' is louder, and more constant than for several years. It is true that both coru and cotton crops are short, as compared with an average year. Yet scme farmers have done very well, all th!.ngs considered. Th'e principal sufferers by reason of the short crops will be the negroes. Comparatively few of them have been able to pay for the supplies advanced to them by the merchants during the present year and to pay the rent due the landowner. As a result many of them will not be able to get advances necessary to make a crop another year and will be forced to work for wages. On account of the gloomy outlook, at leas;t, a dozen white persons have left this section and taken employment in the Cotton Mills of Columbia. The School trustees of this township have at last concluded to supply the different schools with patent desks. The teacher and pupils of the Brogdon school were much rejoiced a few days ago to hear of the arrival of the much neededI and long expected desks. The desks are in the depot-all save the legs, they are-we don't know where. This the school and the desks will find it hard to stand.

All real estate and personal property must be returned this year. Asessonrs nd r1inpaes will enteI the first given name of the taxpayer in full, also make a separate return for each party for the township the prop erty is in. and where the taxpayers owns realty, to insert the postoffice as their place of residence, and those who only own personal property. to give the party's name who owns the land they live on as their residence, which aids the taxpayer as well as the County Treasurer in making the collections and preventing errors. Every male citizen between tne ages of twenty-one and sixty years on the first day of January, 1902, except those incapable of earning a support from being maimed, or from other causes, shall be deemed taxable polls. This does not apply to Confederate soldiers over fifty years of age. All the returns that are made after the twentieth day of February will have a penalty of 50 per cent. added thereto. unless out of the county during the time of listing. Not knowing the time of listing is no excuse. The assessing and collecting of taxes is all done now in the same year, and we have to aggregate the number and value of all the horses, cattle, mules, etc.. and their value that there is in the county, and have same on file in the Comptroller General's office by the thirtieth day of June each year. And from that time to the first day of Octo ber each year the Auditor and Treas-i urer's duplicate has to be completed ! and an abstract of the work in the Comptroller's olfice by that time, which will show at a glance that the Auditor i has no time to take in returns or do anything else much, between the first day of March and the first day of Octo ber each year but work on the books and blanks. Therefore I hope that all taxpayers will do me the favor of mak ing their returns in time. E. C. DICKSON, Auditor Clarendon County. 21-3L] a A60 Wi T2 OM 2.A.
