There is the chance to obtain full control of both branches of the government for the second time since the war. the chance not only to put Dem ocrats into office but to bring the republic back to the paths that are well-beaten and safe. To accomplish this only unity of effort and the subordination of personal ambitions to the gener al good are needed. Past differ er-ces must be forgotton, not be cause this factinn or that should confess error but because the dangers lie ahead and we should look to the future, not to the - past. At heart the people of the United States are in sympathy with the principles of the Demo cratic party: if they are not, then the people are not in sym pathy with the-form of govern ment which has been so long preserved in its magnificent or ignality. The Republican party / today, more than ever before, stands for centralization and federalism, if not for an actual oligarchy. It attracts all who believe, for one reason or anoth er, in strong government as well as those-not a few-who have no confidence in popular rule and sincerely hold to doctrines against which the founders of the repubhc fought. Imperial ism, colonialism, the oppression of weaker states, needlessly high tariffs which shelter mon opolies and pile up a great sur - plus, personal favoritism in the bestowal of offices and an allh ance between senate and presi dent based upon patronage these are unrepublican pr-actices which bode no good for our once cherished theories. It is meet and fitting that in issuing- the call for ,the Demo cratic convention the national committee should have invited the cooperation of "all Demo cratic citizens in the United States who can unite with us 'in the effort for a pure and econom ical constitutional government." That is a concise and yet comn -plete statement of the paramount issue of 1904---a pure and econ omical constitutional govern ment." For that the Democratic party can afford to stand, be cause it is just and proper and timely, and because "a p~ure and constitutional government is not to be had under Republican rule. Excessive tariffs, presidential favoritism'~ and usurpation of power, disregard of other na tions' rights, corruption in the public service-these are the proofs that can be presented against the party in power. While the opportunity and the duty are alike manifest, there is also evident danger that instead of uniting in -a common cause and with a common purpose the two wings of the party, each pro fessing equal allegiance to the basic principles of the party, are most likely to fall to fighting each other, leaving the way open again for Republican success and the continuation of imipure and unconstitutional govern ment. The fight is even now on. It is in a sense a seational fight, and the south should assert its right to be heard in the settle ment, for a Democratic ticket cannot be elected without the electorial votes of the southern states from Maryland to Texas. Knowing. or believing, that these States will vote solidly for a'ny ticket that may be labelled "Democratic." certain leaders, chiefly in the east, are planning to nominate and elect a candi date of their own choosing on a platform of their own without consulting the preferences and desires of the people upon whom the ticket must mainly depend for its success. The southern States, we will admit and have said before, are inclined to favor-all things being equal any acceptable candidate who can carry New York and other eastern States, say New Jersey, Delaware and perhaps Connecti cut. But this does not mean that the Democrats of the South are ready to stultify themselves for the sake of victory, it does not mean that they are so eager for the fieshoots of federal office that they will vote willingly for a whited sepulchre or a stuffed prophet of disunion and defeat. The Democrats of tile south can not be brought to support any man who has repudiated their friendship and betrayed their trust, and any man who has ac cepted the leader-ship of his par ty and then refused to keep step with the rank and file. In other words, Cleveland is impossible. We might take a Cleveland man, even Olney, but not Cleveland himself. To try to thrust Cleveland upon the party is to disregard not only the south's self-respect tions. It is to goad Bryan to a natural fury. Now Bryan has done his party service, as he has by his party been highly honored as few men are. Twice the nominee for , Dresident. he has-whatever may 1 be said against his wisdom twice received the support, the enthusiastic support, of six and a half million Democrats. It is folly to read him out of the 1 party now, it is absurb to humil iate him and set at naught i his counsels. The declared de sire to treat him so is largely responsible for his present angry, attitude which threatens to dis rupt the party. We have no sympathy at all with his demand 1 that the platforms of 1896 and 1900 be reaffirmed plank for plank, word for word. But w can very readily understand how, being human,thesuggestion to nominate the former nominee who later refused his support to Bryan is a taunt and a dare to the entleman from Nebraska. If leveland could sulk in '96, and could not speak even in 1900, why should Bryan be expected meekly to submit to his nomina tion now ? to mention Cleveland, t therefore, is to drive Bryan to an extreme that, if unreasonable and unwise, is not past the un derstanding of men who have 1 pride and good red blood. t The campaigns of 1896 and 1900 proved pretty conclusively that the Democratic ticket can not carry the country without the assistance of that action of 1 which Mr. Cleveland is general ly referred to as representative. There can be no doubt, on the other hand, that the election of 1904 cannot be won without the votes of those millions who sup ported Bryan in his two cam paigns. Harmony, then, means t not the victory of one faction over the other but the coming t together of both on a common f ground with due respect to each. t In bringing this about the Democrats of the south can, and should, take the lead. They I have remained true to the party i at all times-under all conditions I and all leaders-true not to the party alone but to the political I theories upon which a pure and r constitutional government has rested and must rest. The Democrats of the south have no candidate to present, they will c support an eastern or a western man who is sound in doctrine and strong in the regard of the t people, one whose name spells principle as wenl as victory and who will honor the party as the party honors him. The southern Democrats will refuse to be used for the purposes of any person 1 or any faction striving to con- j trol the party; they are lookmgng for a leader who can lead and 1 whom all Democrats can honora bly follow in the fight for "a pue and constitutional govern ment." They are not to be< round between the upper and the nether millstone nor kicked, from one side to the other as an: inanimate and unintelligent foot- 1 ball. The 120 votes or more which the south will cast in the electorial college are necessary to the success of a Democratic candidate and if the south is to be "solid" there it can as well be solid when it comes to thei framing of the platfornm and the naming of the nominees. And the south is conservative and charitable, not radical nor sel fish. It has no "isms" or oddi- I ties -to present and no candidate; it is desirous of securing a pure and economical constitutional government with a president I and a congress who will main tai the laws and the principles of the republic. The party and the country must respect the south, and the south must not allow itself to be disregarded.-The State. Congratlationls. Mr. John H. Cullom, Editor of the t Garland, Texas, News, has written a 1 letter of congratulations~ to the manu facturers of Chamberlain's Cough Rem- I edy as follows: "Sixteen years agog when our first child was a baby he was! subject to croupy spells and we would be verv uneasy about him. We began t using Chamberlain's Cough Remedy in 187, and finding it such a reliable rem ed for colds and croup, we have neverC been without it in the house since that time. We have five children and have given it to all of them with good re sults. Oue good feature of this remedy. is that it is not disagreeable to take and our babies really like it. Another is I that it is not dangerous, and there is not risk from giving an overdose. I con- I gratulate you upon the success of your remedy." For sale by The R. B. Lor yea Drug Store, Isaac M. Loryea,Prop. Joseph Ochs, Washington cor respondent of the Atlanta Con stitution says, there will be sev enteen Democratic senators who will vote for the ratification of I the Panama treaty. Among the number he mentions is Senator Latimer,the junior member fromt South Carolina. Senator Tillman 1 is classed on the opposition side. We do not know how this differ ene will effect their relationship but Latimer is taking the risk of a split between he and Tillman, and if such a thing does come the advantage will be with Till- t man because he will be in when I Latimer's time is out. But Till- 1 man is shrewd enough to see that he has made as many ene mies as he can stand and cannot afford to make any more, hence he will think well before he forces a rupture between Lati mer and himself.

I use Chamberlain's Stomach andi iver Tablets for indigestion and find] that they suit my case better tnan any dyspepsia remedy I have ever tried and< I have used many different remedies.

Loryea ] Drug Store, Isaac M. Loryea, Prop. Ii CAPITOL CORRESPONDENCE. :ditur The Manning Times: Complying with your request I am ending you a few lines from the State apitol, where the Legislature is in ses ion. But you must not expect any fine etter; I am just going to scribble at andom as my pen seems to run. It will be two weeks tomorrow since he General Assembly convened, and oth the Senate and the House got own to work pretty quickly. There vere enough measures left over from he last session to give the mill some hing to grind on at once, and it has >een grinding pretty regularly ever ince, occasioually grinding something nto law, but mostly grinding bills to eath. There are 124 men in me louse and 41 in the Senate, making 65 in all. Every man who comes up resh from the people and the cam )aign has from one to three bills to in roduce. Of this number about three >ut of every four are killed, aud still he State lives and the government urvives. This is about my experience. Jr. Editor, and you know how it is. I ot through two or three little meas ires last session and had one other re ating to the recording of chattel mort ages to prevent fraud left over to ome up this session. The daily papers ive such brief mention of bills some imes that the general public do not get he true substance of the measure, and. uch was the case with this chattei nortgage bill of mine. However, I ex >ected it to be killed, and when it came tp did not put up much of a fight for it, he House was in a killing frame of nind that day, so my bill w ant the way 'f many others. I have a ms : re now ntrodiced which proposes to simplify he matter of tax collecting an1 put ing on penalties and doing away with he present complicated and cumber ome arrangement, but if I get it brough I am going to have a hard ight. However, I think some remedy s a great necessity, and I propose to ake a good fight for it if I am whip oed out. The measure may not pass at his session, but something similar to ay bill will have to be adopted in the ext year or two. The present ar anement was only made to help out anks, cotton mills and other corpora ions and big taxpayers, while the av rage taxpayer, the masses of the peo le, get practically no benefit from the rrangement. But the worst part of he present law is that it complicates he system so and the treasurers never et through gathering taxes. I think he State ought to have one fixed time or the tax books to close, and when hat time is out then put on a penal:y f say 10 per cent and clcse up the mat er of tax collecting and be done with it. Mr. Lanham's baggage bill, which assed the House last session, has also assed the Senate, making the amount f baggage that a passenger can carry n trains 200 pounds instead of 250 'ounds as Mr. Lanham wanted. The louse refused to agree to the amend 2ent, and the matter is now in a com ittee of conference, where I am in lined to think it will find its death. Mr. DesChamps has introduced a 2easure for the establishment of agri ultural experiment stations in all the ounties, under the direction largely f the professor of agriculture of Clem on College. I like the plan, but it is oo long for me to go into its details LOW. Considering that there is now so nuch rmore work in our County Treas trer's office than there was a few years .go on account of so many special chool districts and general increase in he work, we have decided to increase he salary of the County Treasurer rm eight hundred to a thousand dol ars. The Treasurer has to give a wenty thousand dollar bond. which osts about $100 per year, and then pay ut about $150 for a clerk, so that after ie pays for these out of his salary it rill not quite come up to some of the ther regular salaried officers yet. I understand that our county has 8GO00 n hand which accrued from the sale of e old poor farm some years o. I am trying to get our delega ,ion to provide that the county comn nissioners shall buy a piece of land for Lbout $1,000 and put a house on it to :ost something like $1,500 for taking are of the county's poor. The pres mt system of supplying the poor at heir homes has grown to be unman Lgeable, and besides, I think the count y should have some place where the soor and mendicant can go, and where ick convicts can be sent. I believe hat such a farm can be worked with he short term convicts and help large y towards sustaining the chaingang. There is a big proposition on foot ere, introduced by Mr. Herbert of )rangeburg to create 124 scholarships n Clemson College. I don't know bout the wisdom of such a proposition, s the board of trustees has always >een composed mostly of agricultural sts, and such a proposition might hange materially the regularly estab ished plans of the college. However, am not well posted on the matter yet, nd have not fully made up my mind. There was a proposition also for the tate penitentiary to go into the manu acturing of fertilizers for sale, but the roposition fell through, as it should ave, as such a scheme would soon ankrupt the State. By the way, I thought that a commit ee from the farmers''convention wvere o send up some recommendations to or delegation,but we have heard noth og from them as yet. Senator Dai'is .nd Messrs. Lanham and DesChamps, s well as myself, are always glad to be formed as'to the people's needs and here isn't a man on the delegation but rho will vote for anything reasonably alculated to help the masses. Our elegation usually splits npon votes and -ote as we all please, but we are always Larmoous. The'tax levy for our county has not et been made, but it will not be raised. am satisfied that we can make the oor farm improvements which I men ioned above without any additional Sut I have written more than I start d out to write, so I'll quit until an ther time.

But the land knows where that ther gallus is a coming from. There's Leaps ofP us that ain't quite finisied >aing for the one we got last summer. Vouldn't we simply be in it if we could rear two gallus's like other people: ike the oil mill men,for instance. They rear two gallus's all the time, but they cake us wool-hatters pay for one of em. And if you will notice close, Mr. Editor, you never see one of these trust ellows wearing a wool hat either. cmebody might take 'em for a farmer f they did, and that would never do. 3ut we ain't ashamed one bit. We gill cover our one gallus with a fifty :nt jacket, hang our wool hat on a ail, and set down to a mess of hog and ominy and digest it better than Mr. ockfellow wvith all his millions. And hat brings me to a fine point to decide. Yhat are we going to do with Mr. ockfellow? They say he has gone to nes-ing in the guano businae ard has run the price up way pass our compre auction. He wasn't satisfied with messing in the kerosine oil business. but must dabble in guano too. I don1t see any chance but for us to write to Mr. Rockfellow and tell him how the thing is. I don't know what the rest of the boys think but here's about what I would like to tell him: Dear Mr. 1ockefellow: We received your letter saying as how you was go ing to charge us a heap more for guano this year than you ever did before, and saying as how you would have to do that to keep even with the other trust business,and as how you couldent break a farmer no how. You are right there, Mr. Rockfellow, you can't break a farmer until you break his neck. But we ain't going to let you set down on on us that way. Our advice to you is to build a big shed somewhere and pile up all your guano under it and let it stay there until we call for it, and if we never call tor it. don't think the time long. We have to use your kerosene oil but we don't have to buy your guano. We are going to experiment on a big compost pile this year. Yours truly, THE FARMERS. That would be a pretty big pill to swallow but we can do it, and I say lets swallow pill, box and all if they don't get the prices of guano right. It is not a fact that we are obliged to use guano. No sir, it would be pretty tough for a while. But we could very well swallow that, along with the other tough things that have to go. We wouldent make as much cotton but we'd have less ex pense. We don't bestir ourselves to make enough home-made manure, any how. 1 believe it, would be a God-send to the farmer if eveszy pound of guano in the U. S. could be destroyed, or put beyond the farmers reach for one year just to throw the farmer on his own re sources. and let him prove to the world and himself what he could do. And I tell you it would surprise you, for the farmer is one of the most resourceful animals that lives. Why he can live on brierberries one half the year and go fishing the other half if necessary. Now look here fellows, make up your minds to work harder than you ever, did, make more home- made manure, buy less guano and next, fall pay out and be happy. Yours truly. JOHN SLAB. No Pity Shown.

Editor The Manning Times: The young people of our community have organized a literary club which will prove very pleasant and beneficial to the members. The club will meet every Monday evening at 8 o'clock in the school building. One meeting eaeh month is to be devoted to current liter ature, one to Southern, one to Ameri can, and one to foreign. Everything possible will be done to make each meet ing both pleasant and instructive. Our new pastor, Rev. B. J. Guess, has settled down to work in earnest: he can be seen visiting his members, and the sick throughout his entire work. He has already made many friends in the community, "to know him is to love him." The stewards of this charge have shown their apprecia tion of his good work by raising his sal ary $200. A building committee with Mr. S. 0. Turbeville as chairman has been elected to take charge of our new school build ing. The committee is a good oue, and will push the work as rapidly as possi ble. The building is to be a modern one, and when completed will be the nicest school building in the county. It will be ready for the opening of the fall term. Our music teacher, Miss Harmon, had to leave us on account of her health. Miss Kermaghan of Columbia has charge of that department, and is doing excellent work, giving satisfac tion to both patrons and students.
