A Democratic League.
State Editorial.
Populism is setting holder in
South Carolina, and now scarce hides
its face in high places. Hen Terrell,
Populist, is coming to the State to
fill appointments for speeches understood
to be arranged for him hy
Congressman McLanrin. He will
talk Tiyrd partyism for a month.
Hen Tillman, after recommending
the hanging of opponents of free and
unlimited silver coinage, has gone to
St. Louis to feel the Populist pulse
on his prosidental cauuidacy and
make as much mischief as he en* for
Js /
''Be True to \
ON WAY. S. C.,
the Democratic party. The Tillman
organs are abusing President Cleveland
and predicting the disruption of
Democracy. The State Alliance
org:in is lamenting the folly of the
farmers in voting for Cleveland last
year, and is whooping up the cause,
of Populism in Virginia. A respon-'
siblc paper in York says thai the
Populists could now sweep the
Piedmont. It is evident that we are
on the eve of a battle for the preservation
of the Democratic party in this
State.
The organization calling itself the
State Democratic Committee is packed
with Tillmanite Alliancemeti and
headed by J. L. M. Irby. Its chair
IP. 1 1 ! !..
recently uinuti a uecisiou ui |
Newberry county which permitted
every man who voted for Weaver
last year to vote in the Democratic}
primary. Can any rational man j
believe that a committee so consti j
tuted will do anything next year to ,
prevent the capture of the Congres ;
sional seats by the Populists? Yet'
that is the committee Democracy is
expected to rely upon.
Immediately after the State Alii
ance adopted its anti Democratic resolutions
we urge the formation of a
State Democratic League, based
upon the national platform, to light
the battle of the party next year, to
maintain Democratic principles and
uphold the national Democratic adnrnistration.
Since that time we
have ascertained that a weapon of
Democratic defense lies ready to our
hands: It is the South Carolina
division of the National League of
Democratic Clubs, <>f which Chauncey
1\ Black of Pennsylvania is
president. The purposes of the
League are. just what we have suggested
as the purposes of a State
Democratic League. It is intended
to he an auxiliary to the National
Democratic Committee in its campaign
work.
Wade Hampton is vico president
For South Carolina, and is charged
with the duty of organizing the
League in tlris State. We now ask
our Democratic contemporaries in
South Carolina to express their opinion
as to whether (Jen. Hampton,
during the coming winter, should or
should not organize this League to
perform the work outlined for it 'work
in thorough harmony with that
of the national Democratic organi zation,
and peculiarly needed, as
every Democrat knows, to combat
tho spread of Populism in this State.
The State will be glad to publish
the opinions of its contemporaries
upon the question. Gen. Hampton!
will lead if his people wish it.
The First Seizure of Liquor in '
Georgetown.
Georgetown Times.
Two cases of liquor arrived over
the G. & W. Iv. It. on Saturday last,
consigned to Bourne & Lucas and
C. L. Ford. Governor Tillman was
communicated with and sent a telegram
to the sheriff to seize it, which
was accordingly done and the two
boxes are now locked up in the
Sheriff's Office. What disposition
will be made of them remains to be
seen.
The strange part of it is that sov
eral cases of liquor have arrived at
this place in the Inst few months,
and Governor Tillman was always
notified of such arrival, but invariably
instructed the railroad anthori
ties to deliver it. Some time ago
Mr. Lucas received a package, and
acting upon the orders of the Governor
it was delivered to him. Mr.
I). 1). Uhem received liquor by the
railroad also, and when Tillman was
notified he offered no objection to
it being turned over to Mr. Khom.
And so with other people. Why a
contrary line of action should he
pursued now in the case against
Messrs. 'Bourne & Lucas and Mr.
0. L Ford is more than we can say.
Why is Ho so Irritable.
Tills question is often hoard and nearly
as often unanswered.
It is not always remembered, as it
should bo, that the occasion of ill-temper
aad irritability Is often to bo found in tlie
physical condition of tpe persons affected.
What is the use of trying to "harmonize"
a man whoso liver lias gone back on him?
If a man is tortured with rhumatism, how
can ho lie expected to be affable and agreeable?
Can a confirmed dyspeptic lie expected
to be cheerful and always ready to
tell a funny story? The only way to remove
the difficulty is to get atHhe cause.
Dyspepsia, rheumatism, impure blood and
liver troubles yield to flood's Sarsnpariiln;
tliis is wlty it is an effective tranquilizer,
a peaceful messenger, and a preventive of
domestic quarrels.
In cases where dandruff, scalp
diseases, falling and grayncssof the
liuir appear, do not neglect them, but
apply a proper remedy and tonic

COTTON IN SOUTH CAROLINA.
The Crop Probably cut Oown
100,000 Bales by the Great
Storm
t'oH'Miit .v, S. t', Oct, 2. The
grout storm that sw-jpt t his Statu probably
reduced tho cotton yield by
1 r>(),00() bales. An average crop for
South Carolina is from GOO,000 to
050,000 bales. Last year, with an!
acreage that was about 25 per cent,
short, 550,000 bales wore produced.
The estimated crop for this year is
500,000 bales, and that, too, with an
unusually large acreage.
Caterpillars in Marion, Orangeburg,
and other counties have strip
ped the leaves clean o,f tho plant.
All through tho middle counties cotton
is "Trenching,'' that is, tho leaves
are dropping off.
The storm ruined the top crop,
leaving no young fruit for frost to
kill. Most of the fruit on the plant
that can mature has done so.
No section of the State will yield
an average crop. The best yields
will be in tho upper section, whero
the crop will probably, be 10 per
cent, short. In the lower and mid
He sections the damage will bo from
25 to 30 per coot.
Along the coast some <>f the cotton
is reported as still under water,
and will be a dead loss. Along the
Great l'co Deo the damage has boon
oxccssivo.
Tho crop is two wee Us late. I p
to this time only about, one-fourth as
much has been received as there was
this time last year. The Alliance

Some lime ago The State; publish-1
ed a letter from lien Terrell, the
Populist loader, in reply to an invitation
extended him to come to
this State and assist in the proposed
campaign of education, saying that
he would be hero about October 1
and remain, making a canvass of the
Stato for a month. As Mr Terrell
did not appear according to schedule
some investigations were made hist
night as to why he was not here.
A leader said that he had jlist
been advised that Terrell's engage
merit had been called olf, and he
would not come to this State. When
reminded of Terrell's letter, he made
the significant remark that Terrell]
was not yet running tilings in South I
Carolina.
It would seem that tho AlliancePopulist
Itefawn loaders, when,
they saw what effect tho announce j
ment of Terrell's visit was having,
quickly changed their tactics. They
realized that tho appearance of a man
of Terrell's past political reputation
would not do here yet. Anyhow
Terrell is not coming, and the work
that Terrell was to do will doudtless
bo done on the quiet, while no one is
thinkingahout it.
(>yo of the leaders who has ad
vanned a great many Third party
ideas, said last night that the party
was gaining in strength now as rap
idly as '.lie sun rose. \\ hen asked
what party he meant, ho said "The
Kefawni party." When asked for a
further explanation he said: "The
Democratic party, hut not the Cleveland
Democratic party." Ho remarked
also that "there was no end of
fun ahead," and said that he "could
tell a good deal, hut he did not care
to talk about it just yet awhile."

I'liore are somo unpleasant signs r

Democrats and others who do not
j yield to their dictated fcliat they arc 11
bent on giving the country another ! n

givicn out that a few moro turns of
the linaueial jack screw will be given.
At any rate there are not wanting
signs to show that some such j v
feeling and purpose are cherished, is
The money power in politics is neitli- i>
er a vain show nor a dream, but a j d
very real thing. If Washington b
could only speak and toll all that has li
happened there since 18<?o, it would v
ua tale unfold" of venality, rascality, n
baseness, sordid gain, sell-outs by c
j distinguished men that would bring li
a blot upon the whole country that n
would remain for a century. Look j t
at the Credit Mohelie and other re h
j vealod corrr.pt ions and frauds. Look s
I at the \ an Alen alTair. h
Take the recent visit of (lovornor I

an illustrative point. Ho went there p
to borrow $300,000 for his State. I

interest and obtained it with much n
difficulty. Why? lie tells it. Hoar a
him: o
"Ho says all the money men and 11
corporal ions of New York whom ho a
approached wanted to argue with n
him about the position of the Ala- | w
baina Senators on the hVpen! bill, p
and some of them held that they n
could not all'ord to loan money to a n
State uho-e Senators occupied the o
position of the Alabama Senators, li
It seems that such arguments are v
used on all occasions to coerce Sout h- s
ern Senators into voting for the in c
teres!s of Wall street against the s
Miterests of other sections of the
count ry" t
\ Ahl there is no unwarranted un- s
bje, nhu .ivo oxercise of the power t
money in politics you say! Hot t
is going on daily and in every 1
.o^ssible way and direction. The I

Candy-Making and Candy-Eating. i1
' 1 am told," said a cynoiCftl gen I I
(Ionian, "that confectionery is made, ' w
put up und handled entirely by girls' \\
and women, but I do not believe it. e
From what I know of women, I J s<
infer that if the preparation of con- ! h
fectionery wore completely in their | c
hands, none of it would ever reach n
the public. It would till be eaten c
op." This cynical person, like most ll
cynics in their judgement, ignored e
tin important characteristic of Int. s
mat. nature. It is this, that liberty h
is often one of the best moans of li
regulation. I h
iu most establishments where i i!
: confectionery is manufactured, the j|
female employes, when they begin o
their services,, arc told to eat as much I
candy as they like. Their employes
even show a solicitous interest that tl
hoy shall consume as much as pos-1 t<
si bio. ' o
"Von are doing very well," said a a
superintendent in a candy making n
shop to ii girl who had been in his I t
employ for a day or two, "except in t]
one respect you don't eat candy t?
enough. ITiless you can eat more tl
wo shall have no confidence in yon." , s
Thus mioniirntrpd. tlin <rirl ntn 11 t

groat qunnity of various sorts of con j t<
fectionery tlio next clay anil never ?<
wished to eat any more as long as j<
she lived. si
This is the secret of the free pro- n
mission. A now employee, set down n
in the presence of so inucli sweet- s<
nesst and free to help herself, con j ii
sums too" much for her palato and w
digestion; disgust follows .satiety, oi
and from that timo forward the can- p
dy-mnking is content to lot her con h
lections pass through her hands with- w
out tasting them. ui
In Russia, where repression rather d
than freedom is the order of the day, si
a different practice, and apparently w
a cruel one, prevails in the confec- rc
tioncry establishments. The girls ei
etnployeil there are never permitted w
to taste the candies; and in ordor tl
that they shall not do so secretly, a b
sort of moral muzzle is put on them, j
Thev are made to sing incessantly,1
when at work; a song specially com - ((
posed for the purpose. Any young (|
woman who interrupts her singing p
for nn instant is at once under sus
picion. and is watched.
Of course the employees, in such
circumstances, are continually tempted
to cat the candy, and their torture
is made the more liko that of Tan- oi
talus by the words of their song, f(

It is always a hopeful sign in any

means; Ins parentage may bo very
nimble; bis surrounding may be

to do his very best with all of

Nkw Y<m:k,<)cL 5.?The Sun's
New Orleans correspondent stiys:
Nearly two thousand pooplo killed
and live millions of property destroyed
is the rosult of the great storm of
two days ago in Louisiana.
More than half the people in the
region over which the hurricane
swept arc dead. Probably ono lmn.se
in ten is standing and tho surviving
people aro loft in a destitute condition.
They are without food and
most of them have no clothing f<?r
they were asleep when the houses
were crushed by tho wind and
waves.
It is known that tho death list already
is above 1,800 and only part
of the devastated country has boon
heard from. All have a terrible
story to tell and every one was badly
bruised. Those who escaoed rot
I o - away
mainly on drifts, rafts or log",
floating from twenty to forty hours
in the water with the wind ! 15 miles *
an hour.
So mo 150 small vessels missing
are apposed to he lost. The entire
gulf coast of Mississippi and Louisiana
is strewn with wrecks.
N'kw Oim.kans, Oct. 7.?Stories
of death and desolation which eon
tin no to come from tho storm districts
between Point l?a llatclic and
the quarantine station arc of the
most harrowing nature.
Scores of dwjid people pro still lying
on the river's edge or in the high
and tangled weeds of tho marsh,
wlnther they were driven. Many of
those who escaped ate starving. It
is reported that men ami women,
driven to desperation !>y hunger, are
feeding on dead animals.
A large number of bodies have
already been thrown into trenches
and covered up, but those still ox
posed to the hot sun tiro rapidly do
composing, adding further peril to
the situation.
To relieve this bad condition the
board of health this morning sent
down lite coast a large quantity of
little for sanitary purposes. Tito distress
is so great the board of health
has concluded to send to similar
bodies in the leading cities an appeal
for help, promising that Louisiana
will bury her dead and food the
starving, but soliciting assistance of
charitable association in getting1 the
o r>
unfortunater, who are well nigh
ruined, upon their feet again.
The total dead is now estimated

The Model for Good Women.
What an obstinate, curious set we
women are, to be sure. We do not
like to bo called strong minded
because the frivolous ones among us
regard that slate of mental being as
incompatible with style, and yet we
would resent very vigorously the as
scrtion made by any one that wa
wore weak minded. Of course wo
would, yot what do we want? Is
there any half way term suggestive
of just that correct balance that we
arc anxious to acquire?
Perhaps no word aptly fills the
bill, but the state can be acquired,
and it will repay us for any little
sacrifices we may be compelled to
make imh"<o or real work that must
bo undergone to reach it. No man
admires a woman whose intellectuality
makes her forget all about the
most becoming arrangement of her
In.ir, nor does ho fancy tlio extremist
who regards books es of secondary
in| ortance to personal beauty and
whose every remark is punctured by
the comma, semicolon , and periods of
self praise, fashion comment and
inane small talk.
There is a happy medium that
combines wit and wisdom with
womanly grace that does not. air its
superiority ana mat is not aoovo a
lesiro to please by both mental ami
personal attractiveness. That is the
type to copy. Becomo less of extremists,
ye great vvorl 1 of women, ami
your lives will he longer, your homes
happier ami your souls more tranjtii!
in the serenity of a combination
>f strength ami weakness, rcliunco
imi dependency, that makes you far
