If this cannot be; if the politician must still bean exciting factor, and, in consequence, passions continue to be stirred at least let the factions he represented equally, or as nearly so as possible. We like the spirit shown in the meeting of the Conservatives of Sumter county. Every opportu nity is afforded Reformers to co-oper ate. In fact they ask co-operation. If,ho\vcver,this is denied them, then, us a last resort, a nomination is to he made from their own ranks. We dread a renewal of strife that such a canvass must entail. Miles tieddes and Miss \ntionette Hlanton were out at Macedonia last ,'Sunday. They looked very much like the Tar Heels and Sand Uppers were going lo mix up a little.

The gift of life is the most sacred of all gifts. Man cannot take life with impunity. Stain rests upon the soul and deadens the conscience of him who sheds his brother’s blood. And it matters not how humble the victim. ‘‘Thou shall not kill” is as binding now as when the words were spoken from Mt. Sinai amid thun der and lightning. There is a tribunal, before which every offender should be brought for violating the law. This should he made as perfect as man can make it, that crime should not go unpunished. Never aught man to take into his own hands what the state alone can do through judicial process. There is one crime, and only one that man, in his frenzied moments, feels that he must avenge speedily, that brooks no delay*. That cannot wait for a court of justice: that will not consent for the innocent victim to lx* brought lo face the public gaze. But law is inexorable. ‘Jle who breaks one of the ten commandments is guilty of all.’ What is the effect upon the com munity? .Soon the ilood gates are opened to man’s unbridled passions and almost any crime is punished by* the would be upholders of right. Lawlessness prevails, and no man’s life is secure. Much better will it be for us to return to the old landmarks. Improve our laws, let the accused he speedily brought to trial, and, if con victed, let the sentence he executed and the dignity of law upheld. MOVING FORWARD. The Civil Service list is fast enlarg ing. President Cleveland’s adminis tration lias done much towards ex tending and strengthening this new - departure in government. The government needs efficient of ficers as much us any department of business. When they are found ca pable and suited to their positions, they should not be removed simply at the caprice of the Executive de partment. His tenure in office should he co-extensive with efficiency and good behavior. Postmaster General Wilson is mov- * itg in the right direction. His prede cessor, Mr. Bisscll, was an excellent officer, and inaugurated changes that has helped to simplify and im prove the system. Mr. Wilson is re ported as moving more slowly, hut none the less surely. It is reported that he is thinking of trying to have postmasters of a cer tain class placed on the civil service list. Could this be done, a disturbing element of vast proportions would lx* eliiiiinaled from federal politics. To distribute the patronage of the post- office department is an untieing bait. Very likely it will be difficult to make a change, but a change one ought to have. HANGING IN GREENVILLE. Spartanburg is far from being clear in tly matter of lynching, but this does net prevert our condemning the recent lynching m Greenville or any where else. Without law. contrary to law. and in the face <>i law—as court was to convene tlie next day—a negro was taken from jail, from the sheriff's care, where the law had placed him. A mile and u half from town he was hung and his body rid dled with bullets. The comment was that “the crowd was quiet but de termined.” And yet we boast of our civilization. Blacksburg Budget.

Now we think that we discovered a plan by which, if adopted, will bring the church up ta purity. Subject every applicant for membership to the following test: put him to plowing a half deaf, blind mule in a new ground, and if he can stand the racket he’s all right. We don't think anything short of perfect sanctification could stand it. We have been trying it ourselves. The fact is if anyone* ever did say a little “cuss” word and fully mean every thing that the word implicated, it was when ho was plowing a blind mule in a new ground. “Is there any valid reason why land, (or real estate), and money should not be placed upon the same basis us regards, usury.” Now this is a subject that is or should ho, of interest to everyone, and one in which there should bo no reluctantcy on tin* part of your corretqsmdcnts in discussing it, because the usury, or rental, of land is destined to become as prominent in politics us that of money, from the simple fact that there is no just nor valid reason why they should not he placed upon the same basis as regards usury or ren tal. Of course the greater number of people who own their homes, the better it is for the country at large, hut under the present system of Landlordism, the government allow ing, us it does, an unlimited rental or usury of on land, it is almost im possible for the poor n.en to become owners of land.

A baking powder that can be de pended upon to be free from lime and alum is a .desieratitm in these days of adulterated food. Ho far as can be judged from the official re ports. the “Uoyal” seems to be the only one yet found by chemical an- j alyses to he entirely without one or | the other of these substances, and | abosolutely pure. This, it is shown, results from the exclusive use by its manufacturers of cream of tartar specially refined find prepared by patent process which totally remove the tartar of lime and other impur ities. The cost of this chemically pure cream of tartar is much greater than any other, and it is used in no baking powder except the “Ryoal,” the manufacturers of which controls the patents under which it's refined. Dr. Edward G. Love, for i ■ rly an alytical chemists for the l . r. Gov ernment, who made the analyses for the New York State Board of Health in their investigation of baking powders, and whose intimate knowl edge of the ingredients of all those sold in this market enables him to speak authoritatively, says of the purity, wholeiiomeness and superior quality of the “Royal.” “J find the Royal Baking 1'owder comjtosed of pore and wholesome in gredients. It is u cream of turlur powder, and does not contain either alum or phosphates or other injuri ous substance.” l*rof. Love's tests, and the recent Canadian Governments, show the Royal Baking Powder to he superior to all others in strength and leaven ing power. It is not only the most economical in use, hut makes the purest, finest flavored and most wholesome food.

July 15.—Brother Occasionally is highly pleased with Mr. Flaw Picker since lie has made his ncq : •iutance. He says he is a nice In!’ liigent man and is much bet ter lo ;king than lie expected to find him. The picnic I mentioned last week as coming off at Unity Spring was postponed until next Thursday, 18th inst. It will heat the Hickory Grove academy. 1 attended a meeting at Broad River academy Sunday school in York county yesterday. I took din- i ner with the family of Wilson Brown. ! They arc enthusiastic Lkixjkritks | and say they can’t get along without i 1 hr paper now. it does seem that wherever this paper goes it makes friends. To the young lady who drew me so ; unceremoniously over the coals for 1 mentioning the names of certain ! young men in a former corrcspon- ' ilence, I take oil my hat and ask her pardon. I will he sure to mention i some others, I sec the next time, and i perhaps tell what girls I sec them wont like that juile so well n fitc a congregation assembled at Salem church yesterday afternoon to witness the training of the children preparatory to the children’s day ex- , irises. Such parts of the programme as wire considered devotional in spirit and suitable for Sabbath e::- . rises were taken up and .the chil dren acquitted themselves with.com- niendabie efficiency. We gladly we I come our new brother “Glib” to our corps of correspondents and will he glad to hear from him frequently if not oftener. We en dorse his new county proposition to a letter, hut I don’t know* that the properly holders of Gaffney will he particular anxious for a court house in their midst. While there are some rumors In favor of it there maybe some urged against it. It would perhaps he more accommodation to t lie country than the town people and no doubt it would be but a short time until they would have a mythi cal body in their midst generally known as the “court house ring” or ‘•clique.” The town at present is made up of buisness men who would not stultify themselves with any thing iike politics. Yet political ad vent urerex would naturally gravitate there and thus destroy, or at least cripple, that feeling which prompts them to work for ouch others welfare as well as that of their country neigh bors and friends. But “Glib” I notice one thing that I wish to speak of. You say that a crowd of hoys thought so much of “poor little Dixie” that they met around his grave at night and preached his funeral. Had those hoys met at the grave of the lamented Dixie, formed themselves into a jury of inquest, appointed one of their number coroner and gone through with the usual formalities in such cases, 1 could have laughed ns heart ily as anybody. But they were thoughtless (to say the least) in turn ing their mockery into sermonizing over a dead dog, thus bringing one of the most solemn rites know to Chris tian civilization into a disgraceful and solemn disrepute. The boys were thoughtless, I admit, and hadn’t calculated that their action would go out to the world to be received by in telligent Christian people, as well as olliers who have no sympathy with great mockeries, and who will notice in their action a fatally loose screw in somebodys moral training. Boys, when you want fun have it, hut don’t make it at the expense of any thing that is so sacred or solemn as a funeral service. Such an action on your part is an insult to the ashes of some of the best men and women who ever lived. Ed Edmonds, colored, (“Deaf Ed”), came around lust Saturday and could tell nearly everything he had seen in the way of news from this section during this year. He reads Tin; Led ger, he says. Should we have no rain for a few days farmers will get pretty well through with their work this week, except their late planted corn. The wheat crops in this section arc turning out tolerably well I understand. Some are making an average of I2A bushels to the acre. We have no candidates in this county who have announced them selves for the constitutional conven tion that I know of. Judge D. L. Townsend and Representative J. C. Otts arc both spoken of. Hon. Wm. Jefferies, a conservative, I believe would be elected if he will come out. He is a man of spotless character and no one will doubt his ability. 4. L. s. Bowlinsville Budget. Bowi.ixsville, S.
