Farley and Irby.
The sensation of the day Is
the letter of Adjutant and Inspec
tor Oeneral Farley denouncing U.
S. Senator Irby.
The charges *?re of a most seri
ous character?reflecting upon Gol.
Irby'e personal honor as a gentle
man as well a denouncing him as a
political failure.
It is sufficient for the Adver
tiser to advise a suspension of
Judgment until the Senator states
his defence. It Is unfair as well
as foolish for Tillmanite or Anti to
attempt to arrive atany conclusion
as to the merits of the caso until It
has been fully presented from every
possible standpoint.
So far as tho Antis are concerned
tho dispute is of the smallest mas
ter imaginable anyhow and It is
not worth their while to become
disturbed or excited about the re
sult.
Of course, It is ridiculously funny
to sonsible peoplo on the outside
that two citizens, both eminent and
honored as "reformers," should be
caught in the wallow of a personal
controversy.
The Herald remarks that "the
Advertiser and its faction are
only in favor of prohl dtion when
they think that, perhaps there is
some chance of making political
capital out of It."
The Herald has no right to say
this. It is in a position to know
that the. Advertiser is squarely
opposed to prohibition.
The Advertiser believes the
dispensary law the worst form of
whiskey regulation because it in
vades individual rights and makes
tbe State a party "to a venal com
promise with vice." Therefore we
are ready for the time to accept an
attempt at prohibition as the lesser
of the two blunders in legislation,
but what wo favor is a return to
the old system.
Whon at the last State primary
the vote was taken directly on the
question of prohibition and no pro
hibition and the former idea pre
vailed, then the Advertiser hav
ing participated in the election put
aside its preferences and Joined in
the demand for a prohibitory law,
?believing that the verdict of the
people merited respect and that the
prohibition experiment should bo
tried in order to determine the is
sue one way or another.
When the Legislature ignored
the will of the democrats of the
State so expressed did ^the Herald
refrain from condemning its un
faithfulness because it was a Till
maniti8h body?
Who will fill tho shoos of Capt.
G. W. Shell in Congross ? There
is Oolonel Stanyarne Wilson, smart
young Tillmanite, good speaker,
speaks loud, voted for Hampton
against Irby and author of the
magnanimous railroad bill. Then
there is General Hugh Farley, who
possesses a genius for anecdotes
and is well acquainted with the
genealogy of the cotton tail family,
besides being the deservedly cele
brated author of a scheme whereby
the warlike militia force of South
Oarolina may some day become a
life insurance company. Neither
of those engines of "refawm" wants
to bo flagged down just yet,
In the Newberry Senatorial race
last Septembor, Sligh, ' reformer"
beat Mower, Conservative, at thir
teen out ef sixteen boxes.
In the race two weeks ago
Mower, conservative, beat Wyche,
"reformer" at eight out of sixteen
boxes, winning at five country box
es where he had previously been de
feated. He was elected by a ma
jority of one hundred and eighty
one though Sligh's majority which
ho had to overcome was one hun
dred aud Arty.
How Is that for progress for the
real reform movement?
II, as the Herald asserts, "the Ad
vertiser and Its faction are only
In favor of prohibition whon they
think that, perhaps, there is some
chance of making political capital
out of It," why did not Uiey seize
the opportunity to endorse prohib
ition in the laot campaign, when
the sentiment of the county was
l?i? to 670 In Its favor,?the trend
of which they could not but have
foreseen before the primary?
President Cleveland can hardly
do better for South Carolina than
appoint tho Hon. John E. Bacon to
an important diplomatic position.
Mr. Bacon is thoroughly repre
sentative of the South, is a man of
the highest character and isdeslin
guished for his ability. Having
already sorved well as a foreign
mlnlater of our Government It
seems to us that his claims should
obtain marked and favorable atten
tion from the President.
Tho President has gone to Buz
zard'a Bay for a rest,
Nobody ever heard of buzzard
being an office seeker and His Ex
cellency will enjoy Inoccuous des
uetude undisturbed.
I Two Opinions About the
Dispensary,
Says U. 8. Senator Irby In the
Piedmont Headlight:
"Our dispensary law Is the best
prohibition bill ever passed, and
every discerning man knows It,
too. If it fails, it does not mean j
prohibition, but a return to bujr
rooms. The fight against It is pure
ly political. As is well known, the
State has gone to an expense of
about $100,000 to preparo for this
business, and (he Autis now think
that if they can prevent the vari
ous counties from establishing dis
pensaries, and thus entail a heavy
loss on the tax-payers, that they
can use it as a bludgeon to fl^ht
Tillman with."
Says State Senator Fuller in an
other column:
"It is ldlo and vain to say that
politics Is at the bottom of the op
position to the dispensary. The
prohibition sentiment of the State
entertained by people of all fac
tions represents the opposition to
tho dispensary.'-'
The Columbia Register has sound
ed an alarm that tho "old soldier"
sentiment is to be employed in the
interest of Senator Butler.
The warning might have deserv
ed more attention had it come from
a man who was old enough to tote
a musket in the war and who was
not a native of Northern soil.
There is a prospect that tho State
of South Carolina will be relieved
of editors for not less than two
weeks anyhow.
The modern degeneracy of tho
silver dollar is woeful to contem
plate.
How the South Has Stood the
Crisis.
Chatanooga, July 8.?An analysis
of the statistics of the business
failures in the United States for
the first six mouths of this year by
the Tradesman discloses the lact
that Southern States have with
stood the financial crisis better than
any other section of the country.
The Tradesman's figures show that
while the total number of failures
in the United 8tates was 16 2-5 per
cent greater for the first half of
1893 than the corresponding period
of 1802, in the Southern states the
increase was only one and three
fourths of one per cent. The assets
of embarasseu firms in the same
period for the whole of tho United
States increased 260 per cent,
whereas in the South the increase
was only 100 per cent. The liabil
ities for the whole country in
creased 200 per cent over the same
period of last year, and for tho
South the increase was 100 per
cent.
It is hardly a rumor now but a
certainty that Mr. Blount has re
signed his position as Minister at
Honolulu.
The President is reported as
looking around for some efficient
man to send to his place. We would
like the President to turn his at
tention in this direetion and select
the Hon. John E. Bacon of this
city. Mr. Bacon has had an un
usually large diplomatic expori
enco both at St. Petersburg and
in South America. He speaks
French and Spanish and is thor
oughly conversant with internat
ional law. Mr. Bacon now has full
and flattering endorsements from
the first men in our State and Na
tion.
The appointment would be a
good one for Mr. Bacon, it's true,
but it would also be a good one for
this country, and the position
would bo filled, we feel sure, with
dignity and a b 1111y.?Columbia

Tht> Value of a Military Training.
To get the best possibilities for beauty
oat of training wo must havo all round
Influences for good. Among these I
would place first military training for
youths. I say military rather than
gymnastic or tarn verein exercise, be
cause sound drill includes something of
these and adds the moral influence) of
discipline.
In my opinion it wonld bo for tho
benefit of the country, the family and
the individual if every mother's son
were obliged to pass a certain amount
of military service beforo ho could vote.
The military training is tho only one
nowadays whioh teaches men to obey
and gives them any notion of the value
of obedience. No training makes men
bo effeotivo for every day use or leaves
them bo alert, prompt and fall of re
source. The adoption of military edu
cation in earnest would leal to the ad
justment of serious questions, physical
and national.
The merely useless meohanical part of
drill which is mainly for parade pur
poses would have to be dropped, and
useless schooling wonld have to be
thrown out.
A child taught to obey in tho first
place and efficiently gnided in study can
master tho courses of our schools in half
the time now spbnt. This by the way.
The great point about military training
is that it onforcos exerciso for a pur
posa not merely for the sake of exercise.

Who would Imagine that the actual
sloeping dream of an author could bo
used as literary material?part of his
mental stock in trade? Bat this has
been so.
They are of little use for consecutive
narrative, although I have been told
that Mrs. Southworth derived tho plots
of some of her stories from suggestions
of her dreams. As a rulo dreams fur
nish only situations or impressions which
are likely to be both subtle and intense.
Who does not remember some haunting
melody of his dreams whose sweetness
moved him to .tears, some glimmering
landscape, some strange and weird jour
neying or faces that suddenly appeared
and as suddenly vanished in this quaint
borderland of tho mind?
"Dr. Jekyll and Mr. HydeM oame, it is
said, from Mr. Stevenson's dream people,
and the intensity of the impression pro
duced by this fantastic creation would
joggest snoh an origin. But no moral
renso exists in the irresponsible region
of sleep, so that the graver and deeper
losson which the thoughtful reader must
draw from Mr. Stevenson's pages must
have been evolved in his waking mo

Mrs. Mary Jane Murff, wife of
Mino* Mnrffof Brewerton, Laurens
county, died on tho20lh June, 1893.
Rhe was a daughter <>f tho lato
John and Mary Knight, and was
born February 13th, 1829, and on
December 10th, 1841 she was mar
ried to Minos Murff and spent her
life in the community in which
sbo hud been born and raised. ^She
was the mother ot 10 children's of
whom are still living and those to
gether with the husband and,
father are left to mourn their loss.
To hor death camo as a thief in the
night. In her usual health sho
had returned from homo from a
neighborly visit, when she was
suddenly attacked and died In a
few minutes from heart failure.
Sho had been a member of tho
Baptist church at Poplar Springs,
for about 10 years. Her ploty was
not of the impulsive, demonstra
tive kind which would take king
dom of heaven by force, but her
religious convictions were deep
and her faith was grounded in
Christ, moving her to tho constant
performance of those duties that
came within tho sphere of wife,
mother, neighbor and frlond.
Kindness marked her actions and
words. She has bequeathed to her
children an inheritance rnthor to
bo chosen than great riches, a good
name. In compliance with her re
quest she was buried at Poplar
Springs. A large number of rela
tives and friends attonding gave
touching tokens of the high esteem
in which she was held in sobs and
tears and floral offerings. Rev. A.
C. Stepp, who had been her pastor
for 28 years at ono time, performed
the funeral service.
