The political agitators are about to begin in earnest. heretofore all of this talk and speech-mak in( was nothing more than the advance guard making demon strations to make and feel sen timent. It becomes our duty to follow in the wake of these agi tators and point out to the people - what we deem is to their detri ment. "There are tricks in all trades," and in this particular political agitation the tricksters have played a cunning game, but in our opinion, when exposed the people will stamp it out. We call their methods tricks and de velopments will justify such a characterization. What are the methods so far: first, the forma tion of a combination of men who were no longeg- than two years ago opposed to each other: second, to select one for destruc tion who is in position that mon ey, political favor and nothing else can buy, and by this combi nation or intrigue accomplish that which would fail with the people if merit were relied upon, third, the head conspirator in the scheme to protect certain in terests, wants to be sent to the General Assembly, but with great pretense he will not pose as a candidate, and lays much stress upon his private affairs, at the same time he has friends who will circulate a peti tion asking him to become a can didate. and in that event he mounts a pedestal of patriotism and responds to the call regard less of how the petition came to be put in circulation or who is pro cured to circulate it. This trick is an old one, it has been worked elsewhere and its purpose is to shackle free white men in ad vance,by binding them in writing to support a candidate in advance of the primary; a practice, which if not resented, will pervert the primary into a throttling ma chine far worse than the old-time convention system. A man who has a spark of independence will regard any attempt to bind him in advance of the primary, an in sult to his manhood and will sic his dogs upon the circulator of such a petition. This is a free country and any man who fels qualified to represent an intelli gent people should be willing to come square out like a man and take his chances like all other candidates. But if he realizes that he is not qualified for the place he seeks, and that his ad versary ma'.y be able-to show up his lack of qualification and also the motive prompting his candi dacy, the binding of voters by petition in advance of the prima ry will no doubt be to his advan tage, for he knows that many voters if they sign such a peti tion will feel obligated to either cast their vote for the man they petitioned for, or stey away from the polls, regardless of what may develope in the campaign. We earnestly warn white men against the petition trick. If you favor a man vote for him, but do not sign away your man hood, the only thing a free man can boast of. There is great dan ger ahead of the people, and it is our duty to sound the alarm; for several years past, there has been a decided activity on the part of combined capital, these combinations are known as cor porations, which, under a char ter from the Secretary of State have certain legal advantages, and from year to year they seek more power, to the extent that the encrouchments upon the people through the General As sembly is becoming a matter of serious consideration, and the people cannot help but realize the* harmful effect of this combined capital by legislative aid. How is it done? A few individuals organ ize a "joint stock company" se cure a charter, then they com bine several similar "joint stock companies" and form a "trust." The trust when formed, either buys or crushes out competition and the people become the vic tims of this vampire. As an il lustration, we point to the cot ton seed oil mills, and as these come in the direct view of our farmers we will attempt to show the danger of having corporation people in the General Assembly. Everybody knows that since the "trust" h'as taken hold of the cotton seed manufacture the pro duct has been steadily advancing in price, and that the mills not in the "trust" are out because the trust would not let them in: notwithstanding this, the outside mills will not undertake to com pete with the trust, they would rather be governed by the prices fixed by the trust because it makes mnore money for them out of the farmer. When the trust reduces the pr-ice of seed the out side mills do the same. and when the trust raises the price of meal the outside mills raise also. There is absolutely no compe tition and no help for the farmer and the p~eop~le are left in the condition of the Indian who hunted with the white man: the result of the hunt was a turkey and a buzzard, at the de vision, white man (the corpora buzzard, and I the turkey." In dian (the farmer) did not fancy that, so white man said, "well, Indian, I will take the turkey and you the buzzard." Soit was buzzard every time for the in dian, and so it is with the peo ple, the corporations with their combined wealth aided ard en couraged by the laws made by our General Assembly give the corporations every advantage, and the reason for it is plain. The corporate interests in the General Assemlbly is being look ed after either by paid attorneys, or by men who have money in veste in corporations. This (on1d ition was so apparent, that Senator Ilderton of Florence in troduced a joint resolution to make it unlawful for a corpora tion attorney to hold a seat in the General Assembly, but it did not get through, the corpor ation element continues to grow, simply because the people allow themselves tricked into voting for men under a hue and cry about some matter that is of no practical value to them. When this element finds a man in the General Assembly with the back bone to fight the encrouchments of corporations, and they cannot flatter or buy him, then they mark him for political slaughter: all kinds of devices are resorted to, they will take up some ex pression of his, which has no practical value, and convert it into a political issue, then they will combine with the personal enemies of the man,-men who are known to be standing off watching an opportunity to loot the public treasury; they will use every effort to prejudice the minds of the people against the man who dares t obstruct them, and with a lot of hypocritical cant invite a popular idol to help them out in their nefarious scheme, and to fit the key stone into this conspiracy arch, they pose as sacrifices and consent to become candidates only after the people have been asked to bind themselves. or mortgage their birth right, by signing a peti tion. We assert, that corporations are gradually fastening their manacles upon the limbs of the masses, and unless their is a gen eral awakening to resist, corpor ate greed will clutch the throats of the people and choke them into a condition of servitude: "lethargy" on the part of the people says William Jennings Bryan "will permit these rapid ly increasing corporations to weld chains of slavery upon the ankles of those who are forced to buy from, and sell to these combines, whether the same are local or foreign and any man chosen by the people to repre sent them in a General Assem bly whose money is invested in corporations or combines will cer tainly betray you, because such men will surely legislate where their moneyed interests are, even to the extent of oppressing the people who have trusted them." Bryan has, time and again char acterized corporation legislators as "money changers that should be driven from the temple." Do the people want South Car olina clutched by the tentacles of the corporation octopus, as is the State of New Jersey today? Then they had better heed the warning of William Jennings Bryan,~and keep men who are interested in corporations out of the General Assembly whether they come out as candidates at the request of a petition volun tarily put forward, or the result of a stable caucus. A look over the legislation of the past few years will convince us that the farmer, laborer and mechanic, has but few friends in the Gen eral Assembly, and that nearly all of the legislation tends to the advantage of corporations. We cannot urge too strongly the repudiation of any effort to bind the people in advance of the primary. The primary sys tem was inaugurated to require candidates to meet the people face to face, and show to them what qualification they have for the position they seek, but if the candidate is permitted to trick the people into a pledge of sup port by a petition, then the pri mary is absolutely a farce. Any man who aspires to go to the Senate or House of Representa tives. should be required to come out fair and square, on his indi vidual merit, and let the people with an untrammelled judgment pass upon him. A petition is a stroke at liberty which self re spect should resent; a man may sign a petition today and .to morrow it developes that he re grets his action, but having once signed he feels bound. Keep your signatures off of petitions in behalf of candidates for office posing as making "a sacrifice of his business," this is a trick that has been worked threadbare and should be mocked at, especially in this day when the people are feeling the oppression of cor porations, and the efforts being put forth by them to capture our government. When a petition is presented to you, inquire if the oarty in whose interest it is, has any interest in corpor-ations, and how many? Also why it is the people must be pledged in ad vance of the primary? Then in dignantly refuse to sign upon the ground that it would be un fai,and totally at variance with Democratic principles. The Clemson trouble has been happily settled by the r-einstate inent of Mr. Thornwell and the return of the dissenting cadets. President Hartzog has been in jured in the estimation of the ~ubic by the glaring lack of confidece the students have in him. His usefulness is ended, we believe.

We want every one of ou readers to know that this news paper is opposed to changins the party pledge for reason previously stated, but at th< same time. whatever action th' Deocratic State Conventioi takes will meet with our sub mission and loyal support. Thi: declaration is repeated because of the systematic effort on the part of some unscrupulous poli ticians to create false impres sions. We also say emphatic ally that any man who ignore the primary can have no voice i] the councils of the Democrati party and should have none. N man can be a Democrat in Sout] Carolina if he refuses to be gov~ erned by party discip)line. Th State Convention will lay dow: a platform of principles, adopt constitution and by-laws an< every white man in the Stat whose name is on a Democrati club roll must adopt said plat form, constitution and by-law or step out of the party. Thi; is our contention now, and ever; editorial expression we have eve made has so contended. W may have certain views as to th poic of the party which w 1! think would be best for the par a ty's welfare, but that is a matter of personal opinion only, and Scan only be offered to the major a ity as a suggestion. If the ma jority accepts our view it is grat ifying, but if it does not we are e in honor bound to accept the ma jority's view. This is what we call Democracy in South Caro lina,and a Democracy that stable caucuses and tishing party cau cuses cannot alter. The object 1 of the primary was to give every aspirant for office an equal show before the people; it was also for the purpose of repudiating t snap judgments, and when the people learn that a candidate has a snap judgment in the nature of a petition, that candidate will be repudiated at the polls. Why? Because such action is at deti ance of the principles of the Democratic primary system. Won't Follow Advice After Paying for It. In a recent article a prominent phy sician says, "It is next to impossible for the physician to get his patients to carry out any prescribed course of hy , giene or diet to the smallest extent; he 1 has but one resort left, namely, the drug treatment." When medicines are used for chronic constipation, the most mild and gentle obtainable, such as 1 Chamberlain's Stomach and Liver Tab lets, should be employed. Their use is not followed by constipation, as they leave the bowels in a natural and heal thy condition. For sale by The R. B. Loryea Drug Store. HOMICIDE IN WILLIAMSBURG. Holleman is a Brother-in-L.w of Mr. Charles SE. Strange of Felder. 1 Kingstree, May 12.-Another grue - some page has been added to the homi cidal chronicles of Williamsburg and tonight Harry H. Brown lies in jail on the charge of having slain his brother 1 in-law, W. H. Holleman. This morning 1 the two men, who lived together, about ten miles from town, came to Kingstree in a wagon and, after making some pur chases, started to return home. The shooting occurred near Belser's Cross f roads, about four miles from town. The only witnesses to the affair were two negro women, whose testimony was a substantially the same. Being a short a distance ahead of the wagon they heard - some one cry out: "By God, stop!" t Then a little later: " You are fixin to get your head broke." They looed a back and saw Holleman jerk Brown - across a bale of hay and commence > beating him, whereupon Brown drew a pistol and shot his assailant. Brown's testimony was entirely dif ferent. He said that Holleman had shot at a bird, and was breaking and unbreaking his weapon with the muz zle pointing towards himself, when it was accidentally discharged. He said further that he and Holleman were perfectly friendly, and that he (Brown) tnever carried a pistol. When the pis tol was fired the horse took fright and ra-n a distance, which cause Holleman to fall out of the wagon and one of the wheels ran over his body. Finding that Holleman was dead, he drove on to Greeleyville and reported that Holle n-an had accidentally killed himself. The shooting took place about I1p. m. Sand the inquest was held at 4. After t hearing the evidence the coroner's jury 3 returned the following verdict: That > the deceased came to his death from a Sgunshot wound at the hands of Harry - . Brown. The bullet, which was fired -from a 38-calibre Smith & Wesson pis t tol, penetrated the abdomen, about six a inches below the left nipple to the left .of the median line and, ranging up w ard. struck the apex of the breast. 3 Dr. A. D. Epps, the attending physi 1 ecan, said that death must have ensued a instantly. Holleman was about 26 years old and leaves a wife, but no children. He was employed as night watchman by the Mallard Lumber Company of r Greeleyville. Brown is unmarried and 3 only 23 years old. . fWhen the verdict was rendered a warrant was immediately issued, and Sheriff G. J. Graham took Brown in t custody and brought him here to jail. r C. W.

The Exposition Duing the Month of May. fThe Southern Railroad, the Atlantic Coast Line and the Plant System have arranged to continue the sale of the a cheap tuesday tickets to the Exposi 3 tion, as sold during the month of April, on every Tuesday and Thursday during the month of May. This will enable all who have not yet visited the Expo sition to do so during its closing month, and those who have visited it, to again take advantage of the low rate offered, sas many will undoubtedly so. SThere has been a great deal said -through the columns of the papers in regard to the Exposition and its many attractive features. There is one how ever that has been almost entirely ig s nored or overlooked by our correspon t dents, and probably from the fact that its location is much as not to attract s general attention. Reference is made - to the Grass Garden of the U. S. Agri s cultural Department, which consists of four acres of ground. and is located just east of the encampment of the Marine -Corps. Every farmer who visits the Exposition, should visit this Garden. Here are to be found growing over fifty different specimens of forage crops suitable for our Southern suns, as well - as wheat, rye and barley of many kinds. r The seeds of the different forage crops referreg to have been gathered from Egypt, Africa. China, Ireland, Scot land, England, Australia and many 3. other countries. The representative of the Agricultural Department in . charge of the Garden is a practical .farmer, and can give the visitor full information regarding each and every species of the crop, and it can be said 3 to every farmer, if he can spare time .to come down. even if he spends only one day at the Exposition, let him care ~ fully study these forage crops, get a - list of such as he wants to use, and he swill be ten times repaid for the expense of the trip, and for the time he may think he is losing from his farm, i Dangerous if Neglected. - B lurus~c-uts and other wounds often fail C to heal properly if neglected and be come troublesome sores.
