The Democratic campaign t? xt book has been issued. Too first part is do j voted to tho Democratic platform of 1900, with that of 1890 aided Tho affirmation of tho latter at tho Kansas City convention makes it virtually a part of tho platform of 1000.

KOIIOKS OF TilK SPANISH WAR. Part 3 states tho origin of the war with Spain and recalls tho stubborn reBistenco n>ado by President McKinley against intervention in Cuba, even ufter tho Maine had boeu destroyed and tho causes thereof made plain. Tho administration of tho war department during the war with Spain is drauiatio ally set forth. "Tho disgraceful pros titution of tho commissary department to tho intorcsts of tho dealers in can ncd beef'- is produced in a condensed form from tho testimony of tho com mission appointed by tho President, a tribunal which was popularly understood to have been organized to acquit. Tho testimony of Uencral Miles and of numerous officers is preeontod to con vioi mc administration of tlio charge of poruiitting tho business interests of meat packers to outweigh the health and comfort of tho bravo soldiers who volunteered to fight the country's battloB. Commissary General Ktgan's foulmouthed abuse of General Miles, for whioh ho was court inartialcd ami sentenced to dismissal from the army, iH also given. This is followed by President Mc Kinley's approval of the con viotion and reversal of tho sentcuco. Instead of executiig the sentence of dismissal, the president decorated Gen. Kagan by relieving him from all furthor servioo in tho army, but permitted him to draw full pay. Attention is also givon to tho reck less disregard of sanitation in the several oamps of tho army, more dost rue tivo to our soldiers than Spanish bill lets. The Roosevelt attack on tho war do partuientand tho "round robin," signed by all our high military officers in Cuba, demanding withdrawal of the troops to a northern climate to save them from utter destruction by discaso is presented in full. "the paramount issue. In compliance with tho mandate of the national convention and following tho example of the candidate, another section is devoted to imperialism as tho paramount issue under the titlo of "Tho Republic or tho Empire? ' "Tho President's Philippine War" is the longest chapter iu tho book. It charges against tho president gros and palpable violations of tho constitution and the usurpation by him both of the treatymaking power and tho war making powor. It shows from tho rooord that, although Spanish sovereignity in the Philippines did not pass to the United States until April 11, 1891), tho prcsiilnnf t I ? 4 ~ A II * ovut mkv*in i/vwuiuiT iu ^vprn roaa rough shod over tho constitution to foreo n war upon tho Filipinos in order to for*-stall oongrcfiss in tho excroiso of its power both under tho treaty and the constitution, to dctormino tho civil and political fltatuB of tho Filipinos. The war wagod upon thorn by tho pen is treated as a usurpation by hiui of tho war-making power for tho purpose of transforming friendly allies into iiu placable enemies. The possibility of a Republican reconstruction polioy in tho Philippine? and their division into five States for admission into tho 1'nion is clearly prosonted. Tho president's approval of tho agreement with tho 8ultan of Sulu is prcBontcd, in which ho upholds sla very and polygamy under tho United States flag. The roport of tho liberty oougress of tho anti imperialists is fol lowod by a chapter giving numerous decisions of tho supremo oourt which clearly oontradiot tho new Republican dootrino that tho constitution is not tho supremo law in tho territories. Tho chapter on the oost of imperialism will attraot goneral attention. ANGLO AMERICAN ALLIANCE. The British allianoo is shown to exist, and somo of its work is rcoitcd? notably tho surrondcr to Great Britain of our proper rightH in tho construction of a oanal through Nioaragua; the surrender to Great Britain of valuablo mining territory in Alatka under tho buiso of atemonrarv urmnnomont' I ? ? r ?" --- j uf)VUiuu I , llic effort to screen the British fortign oifi oers from tbo noooBsity of an apology for the violation of Uuitod States mails in South Africa by a British official, and finally tho circulation through one of tho departments in Washington of British political pamphlots to oreato falso impressions concerning tho oausc of the Boers. Tho stealings by United States llopublioan officials in Cuba oocupy an entire ohapter. It deals with facts from tho rooords. Tho nullification of the oonstitution by the Puerto ltico aot is shown to bo "impeiialism applied." Extracts from tho proocediDgs of oongrcssional committees expose the visiblo oontrol of oongress by the sugar trust. Extracts from tho proceedings of those committees show the presence j of Mr. Oxoard, ohief lobbyist for tie sugar trust, and his advice, which wa* obeyed when the customs tariff wm j imposed on oemmeroe between Puerto j Rico and other port* of the United States. A parallel in dra ?n bctt?<. en the 1'uerto Kioo bill and the British colonial synem, showing that the Kopubli can party prefers the British colonial system to tho liopub'ioin I?rritorin 1 sjstotn of the Uiiud St ?tt A. TilK Tltl STK. Bart treats of iho trusts, giving a list of those corporations and giving the romodies proposed by each party. It gives the record <?f the victory in congress of the arinor-plato trust when that body relinquished its oontrol over the suhjcct of tho prioo of armor plate and gnvo it over to tho secretary of the navv. This it did in the taco of the fact that the United States haH been compelled to pay f(10(5 a ton for plate which was being s. Id by the sure trust to the Kcpublican government at filth) a ton. There is a chapter on the dis- I crimination by tho railroad companion in favor of tbo trusts, which giveH thorn absolute control of tho prices of all the products dealt in by them. The ship subsidy bill for tho shipbuildio^ trust is rcviowtd. Til K JIONKY qt KSTION. l'arl (? is dovoted to tho unonoy quostion. The first chapter is a record of McKinby's btoken plrdgo for international biinctalism and demonstrates by tho speech of Senator Woloott and by McKinley's messago in favor of tho ludianapolis gold standard plan, that an international agrofment for bimetallism was only prevented hv a troaoh err.us blow by MoKinley himself when it was on tho eve of consummation. Senator Woloot quotes from tho speeches of members of tbo l?ri ish ministry, and these quotations demonstrate this faot. Tho interesting state mcnt is made that, during McKinlej's administration Secretary (Jive h?s ooined 53,000,000 of "fifty^oontolippfd dollars," all of which aro preserved by the gold standard act as a legal tender. Mr. (Jane has just expressed great fear that if Mr. I5r\an is elected he would oauso those f>d 000.00(1 of dollars to be paid out of tho treasury asmonoy. An aualysis of tho gold standard, national-hank, anti-grcenhaek financial bill is given, mainly from tho speech of Sonator Teller, together tfith Scnaator Chandler's protest against the same. Tho relations of tlx? Standard Oil national city hank of New York with the treasury department and its purchase of tho old Now York oily customhouse arc fully set forth. It is snowi) unit thin healthy institution is an annex of the treasury department. Labor organizations and the treatment they liavo received from the two great parties, respectively, form tlie subject of important chapters. The chapter on pension shows that not only the pension aots in favor of the soldiers have been construed greatly to the dis ad van t ago of thousands of thcui, but that the present commissioner pcrsistontly disregards a new aot passed expressly to do away with such misconstructions. Oilier minor subjects also are dealt with. McKinley's Prosperity. A statement has been sent out from Cli'iton, Mass., that a general wage reduction in New Kncland cotton mills is contemplated. I'lio report could not ho verified here A reduction in wages is under consideration in Full Kivcr, hut as yet no decision has been posi tively announced, though treasurers representing I0f),000 spindles have agreed to a reduction plan. Should wages ho reduced in that city it is thought that many manufacturers olso whero mav take up tho wago question, hut as far as can ho learned hero no action has yet been decided upon. Considerable tocrooy is maintained at Fall Itivo*, concerning tne proposed roduotion hceauso of feared objections of some stockholders oppt sod io a reduction at this time, and for fear of tho effect on trado Opponents of tho plan claim that while there is no demand for goods, a roduotion of waves cannot solvo the market probVm which confronts tho mill men today. Curtailment of production is tho only means of relieving tho market and oreating a demand. Chinese are dangerous nomies, for they arc troaohorciu.

McSwocnoy. ])vnur bv Hundreds A dispatch from Charleston says tho unprecedented heat wavo lias played deadly havoc with tho poor Negroes living on the sea islands a ion* tho count. It appears that tho Negroes have been dying from f< ver, which is primarily caused from tho heat and allowed to thrive because the sick cannot get medical attention required in suoh eases. I'his mi inner there has boon tuoro fiver on tho sea islands than for nonio years past, and this disoaso has been sent thriving on by tho hot and dry weather. I'ooplo who havo been around su k rooms with fovor pationts oan best imagine the condition of tho poor No grots in tho hovels who have to depend on voodooism for relief ami who have to stay in a serious way without proper attention and without ice. The island Negroes havo felt tho b.ttorncss of it all, and they simply lio down and die when tho fever strikes them. In some of tho huts it has been told here that a whole family would be ill at a time, and that their only attention would 001110 from tho neighbors who wcro inclined to lend assistance. Tho physicians in these island neighborhoods havo dono their host to givo relief to the Negroes, and pretty much all of this has boon charity. K von with charity physicians, however, tho sufferers have not been oared for as their conditions might do uiand, and with weird shouting and chaining about them havo laid down to die, with nothing but a voodoo dootor to drivo off tho ills. Tho class of Negroes now suffering from tho discaso brought on by tho heat uro the ones who bullorocl most a low years ago by the terrible storuis whioh a wept up tho coast. Weather Statistics.

Some Facts About It Not Generally Known Ueing interested in the adoption of text books lor the schools of the State, by tho Statu Hoard of Kduoation, noxt month, tlio writer has examined tho publications of various houses, and inquired into their authorship and merits, and wo feel that wo have a right to say something along this lino. Wo beliovo, with every true son of tho south, that tho histories urographies and readers used in our soItoooIh should bo written by Southern men and women who can do justice to our litcraturo, our heroic deeds and our georgraph'eal advantages. Wo find that tho .1'niv< ri-ity Publishing Company is tho pioneer in this Southern school hook work. It was organized by Southern men soon after th? war and it has labored long ami faithfully, somottiuicn almost without hope. General Kobt. V) Loo was the originator of too idea that our school books should bo written by Southern men, to pro servo onr history; and he fully endorsed tho efforts of tlio University Publishing Company, of (Jen. Cordon, and ot hers, in providing books for our South orn children. Wo have now in uso in tho schools of this county and State, Maury's geographies, lloltnos' readers and I Ian sell's (Chambers) histories; ar d in several counties San ford's arithmetics. Those hooks, wo believe, are giving satisfaction There are none better, that we liavo seen, and wo see no use of changing them now, thereby upsetting the work of the schools and causing tho people needless expense, with the possibility of getting inferior books. They aro by Southern men Commodore Maury was horn in Virginia, and went to school to .lames (Hoy, afterwards bishop, of llnrpoth Shoals, Tenn. Th's "Pathfinder of the Seas" great scientist, inventor of the weather charts, etc., is known as the world's greatest geographer, and ono of its greatest benefactors, lie was a Confederate soldier. Dr. (leorgo F. Holmes spent his boyhood and early manhood in South Carolina, lie graduated at tho South Carolina college, and, we havo hocn told taught his liist school lu re at lionnottHvillo, Ho was for a timo a professor in tho University of Huorgia, and later president of tho University of Mi-sissi|pi. For nearly forty years, and at the timo of his death last, your, lie was profossor of Knglish and History in the University of Yir ginia. lie was a Southern man and a Conloderato soldier. Prof. II K Chambers, author of Uansoll's Histories, was for a timo a professor in Tulano University, Louisiana, and is now head master of "Tho Hoys High School," of Now Orleans. Ho was not old enough to go into the war, hut his father was a Confederate soldier. Prof. Sand ford, author of Sanford's arithmetics and algebra, established, and was principal ol a preparatory high aonooi ui i/rooDo county, ueorgia; ami whon Mircer, tlio Baptist University, was established at Maooit, ho booanio Professor of Mathoaiatios in that institution. Jol. ('lias F.

Later he was raised to tho rank of Colonel, and made ohief of the Topgraphionl Knginocring Corps, on the stall of Gen. 11. K Lcc, in which capacity ho served throughout the war. Since tho war, ho lias beon Senior Professor of Mathematiofl in tho University of Virginia, lie died last Saturday, Aug. 11. Another South Carolinian whoso b xks arn publisbod by tho University Publishing Company, is the great Latin Scholar, Dr. Basil L Oildorslocvo, a native of Charleston. 11 is books are the acknowledged L tin 4 gems" of the contury. Hois now Profcst.or of Latin in John Hopkins University, Baltimore, lie was a Confederate soldier and lost his left leg in the scrvico. At present in tho South Carolina Collogo is Professor Pain, author of First Litin Itook, universally acknowledged as one of tho best beginncm hooks on the market, and heartily endorsed as such by the Profcs-'ors of the Univcr.-itios of Uoorgia, North Carolina, Mississippi, and others. Another Latin hook (Ovid,) by Professor Anderson, of Williaiuston, S. UM is receiving highest eoututondalion by our Latin t-cholars. Tho oontpany is owned and controlled bv Southern men. Charles L.

Tho printing is done in New Orleans and Nashville, cxcopt that which oan he dono best by using tho New York presses, euoh as colored maps, etc. Tho books fully represent the produets, eocnery, brains and chivalry of the South. They arc as well made and as cheap as any we havo seen. The company does not deal in sectionalism. They do not ask adoption on aooountof Southorn authorship Thoy rely on intrinsio merit, believing that their books aro tho equal of any in this country. They havo dono more than all other agencies combined to prcsorvo and protcot our Southern history and litcraturo, and thoy dcscrvo our substantial oneouragoment.

Old rosidonts havo slight remombranoo of th.) affair. i X Hauling Down Old GloryTho Augusta Chronicle took occasion a lew days ago when the news came that the Ainori- 1 can Hag was Hying over the imperial granary in Peking, to inquire what tho llopublican administration was going to do about it whether the Chinese capital should ever remain an ' American outpost, or if the ad- 1 ministration would dare to \ "pull down the Hag." Mr. Pry an took occasion in his speech to puncture tho same point, and did it in such admirable stylo as to extort praise even from his vigorous oppon- < cut, the New York Evening 1 Post, one of the ablest independent newspapers in America. The Post says: lie took hold of ! one of the most cherished of tho ' Republican scarecrows?the awful sacrilege of hauling down j "< >hl Glory"?and showed up i its composition very happily, l 1 le pointed out th'at the admin- 1 ist ration is now engaged in hauling down the Mag in Alaska, for tlm very good reason that it was i Mying over territory that did not ' belong to us. I lo asked whether , the fact that the Mag had been raised over Peking compelled < us to maintain an army per- " inaiiciitly there to keep it from , being hauled down. Andhe inquired particularly as to the matter of hauling down the Mag in Cuba. Is President McKinley going to haul down our Mag when the Cubans set up a government, or not? If he is not going to haul it down, what is the meaning of our talk of Cuban freedom and independence? If he is going to haul it down, what does ho mean by talking as if the act was sacrilege? On this subject Mr. Rryan has scored a distinct advantage. Ho has offered the Republican orators a dilemma, from which they can escape only after the manner of the cuttlelish. They have formed the habit uttering a larire ouantitv of emit mnl 1 r? ~ l" "? *v" v vv"' % T bombast and plat itude, ami pass- . ing it ofV on patient audiences, i with the idea that it would be I received as profound wisdom. 1 Now they have to deal with an . orator who is not afraid to ex pose / their sham p itriotism, and who i makes their most exalted and 1 impressive appeals ridiculous. Test Vote Favois lhyan. According to a. test vote taken ] by the New York Journal recently, William J. Bryan will sweept Greater New York in November by at least so,080 plurality. < hit of the total vote ' taken, l,8f)8, only 82 who had no vote in 180G will vote for Mo Kin lev this year, whereas 20a indicate their intention, on ' signed blanks, to vote for William Jennings Bryan. Two thousand, five hundred and fifty-six votes were recorded for Bryan, 1802 for McKinley, and 1 18 scattering. At this ratio, if the total vote in Greater New York this year is as large as in 1800, when it reached f> 1.0,200, the proportion of the two candi- J dates in November should be: For Bryan 804,010 For McKinley 214,680 The Journal's advance poll of the mayoralty contest two years ago proved a wonderfully accurate test of the real vote. It was a forecast the fairness and completeness of which were proven fully l>y the oflicial returns. This straw vote was I taken with the same decree of conscientiousness, and the figures may he accepted as prophetic of the actual returns in 1 November next. bit. Henry Wade Rogers, expresident of Northwestern I'ni- 1 versify, in Illinois, and recently called to a professorship at Yale, says he will vote for Bryan and Stevenson. In 180(5 he voted for Me K inley and llobart. ?
