going to the polls on n^xt Tuesday

thing which in tbp least way en- j

The ^arppaig'n liar ia again
.abroad in the county. This time
,he is circulating false and misleading
reports on Mr. T. G. Culp,
.who is a candidate for county
Hupqrvispr. The .principal story
which is .being circulated against
Mr.,Culp is to the effect that ho

a negro overseer, as charged,

Absolutely false. There were only
<wo white men subject to road tax
? .. the locality in which the negro
^3\perintended the road work, and
nether of them would accept the
plice, both preferring to pay in.stcSd
of work. Voters of Rock Hill

Hon.Bourke Cochran, the distinguished
Democrat, who four
years ago opposed the election of
W. J. Bryan, now thiuka that the
hope of the country lies in the
Democratic nominee's election.
He snys:
"Imperialism must always Irest
on n standing army. Its vital
principle and essential element is
the thirst of a mercenary soldiery
for opportunities of plunder and
promotion.
"Republican government must
always rest on the virtue, patriotism,
self-sacrifice and self-coutrol
of tho citizen soldier. We antiimperialists
have no fear for the
security of our country while it is
guarded by the valor of American '
Democracy. We don't sit up I

Germany or any other power
might undertake to injure us or to
seize part of our territory. We
would be perfectly satisfied to trust
the security of American soil to
American laborers, organized as
citizen soldiers, oven if they were
armed with no better weapons
than paving stones.
."The opponents of militarism
have often been called cowards by
its supporters. Who are the cowards?
The men who believe in
the resistless strength of the greatest
citizenship that this world has
ever seen, and who are willing to
trust the safety of their lives and
property to it, or those hysterical,
vociferous patriots who call frantically
for other men to take up arms
and go into the four quarters of

"We have been told that after
wo have acquired these islands and
established a standing army over
them they will all be happy. Well,
they may. An imperial system
might result in benefit to those
islanders. I won't dispute that.
But I do insist that this would be
absolutely ruinous to this country,
and it is in defense of this country
that I write. It has been asked,
What have you anti.imperialists
to propose? I answer. It is not
for ns to propose while McKinley
alone has the right to dispose.
But I will venture to say that
whatover may be the outcome of
this crisis, it will be the very best
solution of which human virtue is
cnpnble.
"I know that the imperialistic
policy is the very worst that could
be suggested, and therefore I am
confident it will bo rejected. I c.An
prophesy what will not happen,
from the whole history of the
American people. I can prophesy
what will happen, because they
have always surpassed the expectation
of the wisest in the splendor
of their actual achievements.
"The issue before the American
people is the vindication of the
declaration of independence. Can
there be a doubt as to how it will
be decided? There is but one, j
and that springs from a doubt as
to whether the people will be able
to vote upon it directly. It is
self evident that opposition to imperialism
must lie made through
the organization of the Democratic
party."
Tha Democratic Campaign Book.
The National Democratic Campaign
Text-Book was issued Saturday.
It wns prepared by Mr. G.
C. Gorham, formerly aocretarv of
the United State* Senate, aud contains
H00 pages. It contains ths
political platforms, the notification
speeches of the Democratic
candidates, and a great deal of
interesting and indispensable information
for the convenience of 1
speakers and writers in the campaign.
In a chapter reviewing the
convention Bpeech of Senator
Lodge, who presided over the Republican
convention, he is con- ;
fronted with the resolutions contained
in the Republican platforms,
both of 1856 and 1860, in which
the $ep ublican party places itself!
squarely op the doctrine that the <
constitution extends of its own i
force intq the territories.
In the phapter on tho Spanish
war the President is charged with
haying held bpck as long as he |
p. >n M Snoniali '?
? f-- i'v ii uuuuuuiucra wuu
wer? receiving t|je Cuban oustonis
revenues on account of the debt.
The writer quotes the Preeidept as
limiting Qpngrem f.o authorize bim
to impose e<jija|
both upon the ^Cubans and the
j|yptni.ard8fiiul force o pence on the
ialnud. TJie administration of the
\Var Department during the war
with.Spain is savagely denounced.
The Commissary Department is
discussed.in a lively manner in
connection with the embalmed
beef contracts and the abuae of
General Miles by General Egan
because pf his statements before
the investigating commission.
Seventeen of the fifty chapters
in the book are devoted to the subject
of imperialism under the title
"The Republic or the Empire."
This was in compliance with the
declaration of the convention that
imperialism is the paramount
issue of the campaign. In this
chapter the author draws largely
from official records and otherdocmnents
to sustain his claim that
the war in the Philippines was
forced by the administration in
order to forestall any action by
Congress.
The proceedings of the antiimperialistic
convention are given
and a comparison instituted between
the speech of ex-Senator
Ikmtwell and present Senator
Lodge on the subject. Judge
William Springer, of Illinois, contributes
a chapter ou the subject
?/. *UV uioiuua lit ?UU
Court on the question of the Constitution
in tbe Territories.
An interesting chapter is given
containing evidences of the exist,
ence of nu unwritten British alii,
ance. The stealings of the United
States Republican officials in Cuba
occupy n long chapter. Uluetra.
tive of the frugal methods prevail,
ing there, the item for $16,000
for ammuuition in "charities and
hospitals" is given.
Several chapters are devoted to
the legislation imposing duties on
commerce of Porto Rico with other
ports of the United States. The
argument is made that such legislation
is in violation of the Constitution
and is "imperialism applied"
A vnst array of newspaper extracts
are given showing the hostility of
leading Republican newspapers to
this legislation.
In dealing with the subject of
the trusts, the remedies proposed
by the two parties are recited. Mr.
Bryan's bill in Congress in 1892 is
quoted as showing that his opinion
at that time has undergone no
change. The struggle between the
armor plate trust and the govern*
ment in the Senate on the last day
of the oession ia dealt with at considerable
length. The trust is
represented as having attained a
victory on that occasion. Chapters
are given on the subjects of railroad
discriminations in favor of
tho trusts and the ship subsidy
bill.

A rattlesnake was killed at Goforth's
mill, in Bethany, this
county,one day last week. It measured
feet in length and had five
rattles and a button. It is the first
that has been killed in this neighborhood
in a good many years,
though they are known to exist in
considerable numbers at the King's

negroes have permanently * left
Wake oounty, N. C., going toother
States to live, and it is stated that
from the black belt of the eastern

Now, it appears, we are going to
! have college milk hauled about iu {
the horseless carts. "A stock company
is forming," says a promoter
quoted by the Philadelphia Record,
"for the manufacture and distribution
of artificial milk on a vast
scale. Our chemists tel. us that
the article is just as nutritious as
the best cow's milk, aud we are
experimenting with it 011 babiea
and sickly persons with most grutifying
results. The factory where
we are now making milk is a most
cleanly plant. The water, fat, albumen,
casein, and sagar which we 1
use for bases is all of the finest 1
quality. Our gases?carbonic acid, j
oxygen, nitrogen, and sulphuretted j
hydrogen?are filtered three times
iu our patent gas filter before we '
use them. Our kreotin, pepton,
and tyrosin are soaked for twenty- <
four hours in pure spring water

It is proposed to erect upon the
exposition grounds at Charleston a
State building designated to show
in detail the resources of every
county in South Carolina, says the
Columbia Record. This building
will be somewhat in the form of a
horse shoe. Along the circumference
of this horse shoe each county
will be represented in a commodious
booth, while the opening in
the center of the horse shoe will
be filled in with a great embossed
map, occupying a space of not less
than 2,500 square feet. On this
map the visitor may see at a glance
the entire conformation of the
State, with the details of every
county, showing its mountains and
hills.itii riv?ra villi khair rl
,
and undeveloped water powers, its <
growth of timber, its railroads and \
principal county roada. If these
plans shall be carried out there
will be afforded to each county, 1
city, and village of the State an 1
opportunity never before offered to i
fully exploit its resources and the
advantages which it offers intending
settlers and investors. No )
doubt every county in the State '
will readily realize the benefits to i
be derived from so clear a setting
forth of the industrial possibilities
of the State, and will be eager to I
co-operate with the managers of
the exposition in making this
building a house beautiful, whose
contents shall be as rich and varied
as the natural and manufactured <
products ? agricultural, mineral,
and textile?of the State itself.
