Who's got your $31.16 ? It is thought there is a strong proba' bility of the next congress being Demo?fcf~; ers-tic. This will be almost as good as ' having a Democrat in the white house, ' but we ought to attain both results. The |pf < country has had a sufficiency of one. j pv Theodore Roosevelt, president by grace lip of the assassin's bullet. gfc ?It is stated that Mr. T. G.

Wilie Jones, State chairman of the ||jjL Democratic party, has issued an appeal to i|pv the voters to turn out and vote at the III coming general election. Over 100,000 Totes were polled in the first primary, and it will be interesting to note the total ^ somber in the general election. Each Rv TOter pledged himself to support the nom- j j||V7 # inees of the party, and they should do so. Orangeburg now has a daily paper, ? the Orangeburg Evening News being launched last Wednesday by R. Lewis Berry & Co., publishers and proprietors, r: It is a five-column four-page sheet, and is neatly and attractively gotten up. We wish our contemporary a pleasant and ir successful voyage on the troubled sea of journalism and wish we could predict | . success for it. But there is lots of work and no money in small dailies. The Aiken Journal and Review has changed hands. Mr. W. L. Washburne, y who has been in charge of the paper since J. the death of his partner, L. C. Ligon, a lew years ago, has retired, and Messrs. * ? P ond A IT T nron7 oro 14* auics x'. jjj ? UVC7 OUU XL* AX* juvavuu M*V the new editors and proprietors. These gentlemen are young, energetic men, and -will no doubt keep the paper up to the high standard of Mr. Washburne. Mr. Byrne6 is a young attorney of Aiken, and is now court stenographer of this circuit. He has many friends in Bamberg, whowieh him suecess. Mr. Lorenz is an ex. perienced printer and newspaper man, having been with the paper several years. We regret Brother Washburne's retirement, but extend the glad hand to the | new editors. The lynching of a white man in Lan, caster county last Saturday night was only the inevitable result of the spirit of lawlessness in South Carolina, and the cause is the failure of the courts to convict. It is true Morrison was a desperate character, a red-handed murderer, and a menace to the community. We cannot feel bnt that the mob did a safe if not a wise act in lynching him. He had been acquitted for murder, had killed four men, and is aaid to have boasted that he would not be touched in a trial. But where will this spirit lead to ? Really it begins to look as if the only court to administer justice is that of the mob, and what a fearful thing this is to contemplate! The remedy is in the courts and juries, for just so long as murderers are turned loose will there be Jynchings. Some interesting decisions of the State Supreme Court were published in Tuesday's News and Courier, all going to show that when the conditions of a pardon are violated, the prisoner can be again incarcerated. They were published in view of the discussion over the case of Ben Bennett, from Hampton county, who violated the conditions of a pardon granted by Governor M. B. McSweeney. There have been several cases exactly like his in this State years ago, and in every case the - Supreme Court held that the parties could be held by the law. In the light of these decisions it seems clear that Bennett can be returned to the penitentiary to serve out his life sentence in case he is acquitted for the murder of his wife. It is not settled yet as to what will be done, as the case for murdering his wife is to be tried first. Mrs. Flannery?Mrs. Dooley's been rale sick. D'ye think she will raycover?

The Bamberg Herald says: "The Orangeburg Times and Democrat asks us for information as to the benefits to be derived from two white parties in South Carolina. We are in a hurry to-day and cannot answer fully, but a few reasons will suffice. Two white parties would do much to create interest in politics and keep down a lot of corruption and dirty work. Our opinion is that the Democratic party of South Carolina is not doing itself credit as a rule in the matter of its selections for office and the manner of campaigning by the candidates and their friends. Thqre is too much apathy and indifference among the voters, and "questionable means are used by many men - - - - - "at2 T_ ma rrnnH trot hot. 10 gel UlilCC. XU BliUlV, nt nuuiu few. WW. ter men as office-holders, more interest would be taken, and politics would be cleaner. We do not believe our contemporary will deny that these results would) be brought about by having two white j parties in existence in this State." Bam- j berg county may need an opposition white: party for the reasons assigned by the Herald, but Orangeburg county does not Over here our people take great interest in politics, and if there is any corruption or dirty work in our primaries we have never heard of it. Men elected to office over here, as a rule are good and true men, and will compare favorablv with those elected in any State in the "Union, and we are sure their manner of campaigning is unobjectionable. Neither do they use questionable means to get office. Of course we would not for one moment deny that Bamberg politics need cleansing if the Herald says they do, because ----- - ? /I our contemporary is on iuc giuuuu ouu knows the conditions there, but we deny j that such conditions exist in Orangeburg county. In the late primary we nad a host of good men out for office, and we polled in the neighborhood of four thou-! sand votes, Not much apathy and indifference about that. Judging political conditions in South Carolina by Orangeburg county we are still of the opinion that no good could come to the State by the division of her white voters into j two hostile political camps.?Orangeburg j Times and Democrat. Our contemporary utterly fails to com-1 prehend our meaning. We alluded to the party as a whole, and had no reference J whatever to Bamberg county. The politics of this county are as clean as any that we know of, and we can say the same thing of Orangeburg. There are never any charges of fraud, corruption or bribry in these two counties, and our remarks were meant to apply to the State as a whole. We are still of the opinion that two white parties would be a good thing for South Carolina for reasons already stated, our contemporary to the contrary notwithstanding. j The Editors in Politics. There is an idea in some quarters that a newspaper man should not become a candidate or hold an office. There is no reason for such an opinion. In fact news paper men ought to be entrusted with even the highest political positions in the eift of the people: j ~ The newspaper business requires the | highest order of talent. No one can sue-! ceed in the calling unless he keeps up with what is going on in the world. The editor is bound to have knowledge of public matters. Our observation has been that counties which have sent editors to the legislature have been intelligently represented. A man who reads all the newspapers of his State must be better informed than any one who lives in some remote section and puts up with one newspaper. . When Gen. Hagood was elected governor he subscribed for all the county newspapers in order to know what was going on in the State so that he could wisely administer the government. If the best informed are peculiarly suited for office there is no sound reason in the proposition that a newspaper man should never seek or hold office.?Abbeville Medium. Want No Negro in Chnrch. It now seems that the prospective reunion of the Presbyterian church north and south will not be effected. The southern Presbyteries which have been considering the matter have expressed some grave fears of being mixed up in too close terms of intimacy with the negroes in the northern church where there is so little difference between races recognized. This will probably put an effective stop to the whole plan. Yaliift of Ton federate Money. That Confederate money was never taken seriously is well illustrated in the following story told by the late General John B. Gordon, and which, as far as can be ascertained, has never appeared in print: One day during a temporary cessation of hostilities between the opposing forces a tall, strapping Yankee rode into the Confederate camp on a sorry-looking old horse to effect a trade for some tobacco. "Hullo, Yank!" hailed one of a number of Confederate soldiers lolling on the grass in front of the tent, "that's a right smart horse you all got there." "Think so ?" returned the Yank. "Yes; what'll you take for him." "Oh, I don't know." "Well, I'll give you seven thousand dollars for him," bantered the Confederate. "You go to blazes !" indignantly returned the Yank; "I've just paid ten thousand dollars of your money to have him curried." "I want to see the man of the house," said the fakir to the red-haired lady who opened the door. "Do you want to see the man of the house or the boss of the house?" inquired the latter, with energy. "I guess it's you I want to see, leddy," ti.o fotir trith ft nnirk annre I tuv iMU44 , fI w ? X'X hension. GOOD FOR CHILDREN. The pleasant to take and harmless One Minute Cough Cure gives instant relief in cases of cough, croup and lagrippe because it does not pass immediately into the stomach, but takes effect right at the seat of the trouble. It draws out the inflammation, heals, soothes and cures by enabling the lungs to contribute pure life-giving and life-sustaining oxygen to the blood and tissues. Sold by H. F. Hoover. Retort Courteous. Pet Ridge, the London journalist and author, is of the opinion that the keenest repartee, after all, is that half unconscious sort which springs so whole-heartedly from the masses, and here is a story he tells in support of his theory: A woman who had been selling fish entered an omnibus with the empty basket on her arm still giving forth an unmistakable odor of the finny folk it had car ried. She took a vacant seat next a young "gentleman," who drew his coat-tails away and plainly showed his disgust. "I s'pose," remarked the woman presently, "that you'd rather there was a gentleman sittin' beside you ?" "Yes, I would," was the prompt repiy. There was a moment's pause, and then came, "So would I." CHAMBERLAIN'S COUGH REMEDY. No one acquainted with its good quali* ities is surprised at the great popularity of Chamberlain's Cough Kemedy. It not only cures colds and grip, but prevents these diseases from resulting in pneumonia. It is a certain cure for croup. Whooping cough is not dangerous when this .remedy is given. It contains no opium or other harmful substance and may be given as confidently to a baby as to an adult. It is pleasant to take. When all these facts are taken into consideration it io nnt. cnmrisincr that DeoDle in foreign lands, as well as at home, esteem this remedy highly and few are willing to take any other after having used it.
