We had hoped to see The Euqnirer reply to t he Record's article, but were disappointed. Per haps the statements of th0 Rock tiill paper are too true for argument, or may he The Enqnirer is too busy iu engineering ?h? matters ot the ring" fn givo the matter notice. Be that ns it mpy, The Hecprd comes very noar sizing up correctly tho advertising matter nt fchp etinrc hpuF". .Npt only do \vc find very little legal advertising iu t he papers ontBide pf the county seat, but.it al^o appears that even in York villp one of the newspapers, the New Km, is also a victiip of the boycott, seemingly because ;it does not truokle to uud e^crt its influence in the interest of the "ring.V There pre, however, indications that all w.ill be .different in the near fnttiro.

We wonder how many of our hoys realize that land is going fast ?boys (brought np to think that in America land can never -be acarce, that wpen they have played put at everything else they can somewhere got a piece or land for nothing and the next day be a prosperous farmer, can with difficulty be n>ado to see it In I86f> there were but little over #1,000,000 acres under cultivation in tho United Stages Today thp cultivated acres number 286,000,090 and these acres are not. .only our best, but they are fast going np in value beyond the roach of men fi.t tunall means. Keen scented corporations snuffing tho inevitable battle .from afar, arc turning their attention to land and greedily buying whole ,counties with no idea of ever letting an acre go, but the boy who thiuks he is mude for something higher looks calmly on thiukiug there will he plenty loft for him should )m ever have to stoop for it. The sons of half starved teachers, lawyers, tradors and ill hern, ivlm ai-c nimnnpixufnl in thitir .over crowded calling, are turning to oar cheaper lands, sure to liud then? what they nor their parents have hnown never la-fore?truly independent homes. One thing can bo truthfully said of ,the teachers in our schools at the presant time, and tpose employed for the ensuing year, that their daily wullc und conversation, and their moral lives are such as to form a goo<l oxample for their pupils. Our people can rafely follow tho exumple of the teacher. " Wheu the roll is .called up yonder" the teachers of our schools can all answer '* present." Good morals and good maimers are taught in our schools and the worthy example sot by our present corps of teachers has a great influence in moulding the character of the youth of our little cUy. Hon.

So Jonah was ex- . eeodiug glad of the gourd. But God ! prepared a wyrru when the morning rose the next day, und it smote the gcu.d that it withered.

Mr. Editor, is this j not true? Yet these "bullies" will tell j you we are not after Tillman. Oh, no! They thought they had the boys fooled j on t he dis}>ensary question, but the i ; uuterrifled fcjcotch-Irish Democracy of I Kort Mill saw the point aud prepared the bait in the shape of a resolution which caught the "suckers'' 1 note that the Rock Hill Record thinks Tillman will be heard from this summer and says "watch the little fellows run to cover."

Gold Hill S. C , May 1%. ) So a dispensary' is to be establish in Kershaw to keep down the dind-tiger traffic in liquor I j Th* . *"? not in keeping with the ! cu .if of the "calamity howlers" | who are seeking to destroy the I j best practical means of eon- j trolling the liquor business. But, j then, the Kershaw condition will ! be overlooked when the anti i ring-master cracks his whip in the campaign this summer. Senator Cole L. Illease, of Newberry, on Friday filed his I pledge and paid his assessment | as a candidate for governor. Senator Blease will make the j race on a straight dispensary I j platform. Upon the the same j ; platform there are announced to ! i l _ i _ t -1 m rti r n.i 1 *. ! I uaie uunn i. moan, 01 v oiumDia, 1 I and M. L. Smith, of Camden. J Richard I.

The prohibitionists are still in the timbers, and have | made no announcement as to who j thev will offe- for the office. We clip the following communication from the Yorkville New j Era: "We have been informed by a ! return delegate l'rom the State j n.iinocratic Convention, that he I :' simian, Mr. J. S.

The town of Kershaw is to have a dispensary in a short time, according to the Lancaster News. Kersh;. town is located on the line of Lancaster and Kershaw counties and has been without whiskey since the dispensary " as closed by the election in Lancaster county some months a go. Mayor Blakeney of Kershaw petitioned the State board to establish a dispensary 011 the Kershaw side of the town and the board granted the petition. It was decided to have the dis| pensar.v re-opened in Kershaw to 1 keep down the tiger business | which was steadily increasing. I Showing the Right Spirit. Managers of a big spiritualist camp-meeting at Anderson, Ind.. a few days ago arranged a program in which Senator Tillman and Booker T. Washington, a negro educator, were put down ! for a debate. The plan failed to materialize, however, for, upon! learning of the arrangement. Senator Tillman wired this: "I am informed that arrangements are being- made lor a de1 luj|ini.ii?iR()i||<^r W^ahinortw ' and myself at your place. So | far as Washington following me is concerned. I don't care, but I I will not meet him on the platform. If it is a negro equality crov r' that I am to talk to. I prefer cancelling the engagement. I In reply to this the manager wired Senator Tillman that the , plan to have the negro present had been abandoned. The State Convention. The State Democratic conven-' tion met Wednesday at noon in the house of representatives at Crlumbia. The meeting was! called to order hv State Chairman Wylie Jones. The following officers were elected: J. Wm. Thurmond. permanent chairman; J. \\) f f" 1 1. t rr< ?t. vjx ay, 1^1 CI 11, Willi J. 1. flU'K^ assistant; Col. T. C. Hamer, treasurer, and .T. S. Wilson of Lancaster sergeant-at-arms. There wore no contests over j th 2 election of officers and every- i thing passed of smoothly. The opening of the State campaign; was set for June 19. Resolutions were adopted en- i dorsing both Governor Ileywacd j and Senator Tillman. The dispensary question, over J which the last legislature had such a lengthy wrangle, was not brought up. but from reports sent out it appears that had an j issue been raised along this line, j the friends of the institution1 would have had things their own i w av. Senator Tillman, who wasi elected a delegate from Edgefield | county, could not get off from I his duties at Washington to at-! tend the c ?nvention. The Untied States government has released the u4 barrels of j w hiskey seized some time ago at1 1 hn Stflt-P it i?T?#?r?car>\7 anrl I property of the Deep Springs i Distilling company of Savannah j It will be recalled that the whiskey, valued at about $30,000, was taken by the revenue department because of failure to properly state the tare or gauge anil l*icause of technical violations of the laws on these points, j The proper statement has since been made to the government and an order has been received from Washington to release the whiskey. It will be turned over to the State dispensary, the purchasers, if arrangements are so made with the state board of control. Ml A Tribute to Dr. J. H. Thomwell. I In his report to the Pythian! grand lodge at Sumter on Tues- \ day. Hon. B. A. Morgan, the retiring grand chancellor, paid the following tribute to Lr. J. H. Thomwell: I "I have told you very nearly ; all. but one thing that I have done more than any other I have I not told. This one thing is the j persistent requisitions I have. I made upon our grand keeper of' records and seals, dear Brother! Thomwell. Day ancr day I have 'called him to help me, called him i to tell me how to do and what to I do, called him to go here and i there for me. to do this, that and almost everything for me. And he did it. And, brethren, let me in parting with him and with my | office, tell him that I love him 1 for beinj? so gentle, patient and painstaking v;ith me. and to commend him to my successor, I for in him he will find the happiest feature of his many and varied experiences as grand | chancellor."
