LAUREMS, S. C Aug. 8, 1893. A Counter Organization* There is wisdom in the sugges tion offered by the Columbia State for the organization of a Demo cratic league. Thero are symptoms boding the down-fall of the Democ racy In South Carolina and if the a9cendaucy of the party Is to be pre served the dictates of common Bouse are that it should entrench Itself while there is time. The Advertiser does not pre tend to say that the Alliance will certainly cooperate with the Third party next year and we do not be lieve that the leaders of the Re form movement will consent to a renunciation of the Democratic name unless they see victory in their grasp under anothor which better signifies their political doc trines. It is a fact, however, that the recent action of the State Al liance is Intended to bind Alliance men to vote for candidates who promise to maintain the leading planks of the Populist platform against the policy of all other par ties. If it is submitted to the Democracy will find itself forcod to fight for existence. The danger to the party can only be met by an organization which will hold the teachings of the De mocracy above Populists, Republi cans or other organizations and that is what the State proposes. This organization should not be in any sense a political party. It should invite to membership all citizens who pledge themselves to adhere to tho National Democratic party and who profess to believe in Its principles as declared in the platforms or the National Conven tions. It would be expected that its membership should bo com posed of persons of all lactions of the Stale Democracy. Thero are hundreds of Tlllmanites, and we hope the majority of them, whoaro still faithful to puro Democracy and who have no disposition to join the Populists. Many of those, we believe, would willingly and gladly unite with an organization whoso reason for existence would be to save the party from disrup tion. Inasmuch as the suggestion comes from Anti Tillman papers, the proposed league would be favored with tho customary de nunciations und slanders. Accusa tions that it was an independent ring rule machine would be hurled against it from sucli mud mortars as the Piedmont Hoad light and tho Abbeville Medium, but tho time has happily come when even the most rancorous "Reformers" are beginning to ques tion tho responsibility of their ut terances. After a time prejudice would die a natural death and tho league would be recognized in its true character of a device to bind together those whose Democracy remained untainted. Nothing is so necessary to South Carolinians as that the white peo ple should continue united and to this end the league would serve its highest purpose. Normally and loft free to follow their own judg ment three-fourths of our people are Democrats but the menace is that a portion of them will be cor ralled apart from tho old organiza tion by a few shrewd leaders. It is probable that a determined and concentrated opposition in the field before the rebellion of these treacherous leaders has made great headway would have the effect of quelling it before they commit any overt act of treason. On the other hand, if those Dem ocrats who are loyal remain idle now it is just as likely as not that they will awake after a few months to discover themselves cap-, tured, disarmed, helpless and hope loss. The Oheraw Reporter commenc ed its ninth year last week. It there fore has one week's advantago of tho ADVERTISER, and is a kind of twin brother. We congratulate our strong and lusty contemporary and commend it to tho pcoplo of Eastern Carolina. The Advertiser through the absence of its editor has neglected to congratulate Mr. Hugh Wilson upon his deserved election to the presidency of the Stato Pross As sociation. The Greenvillo News is soon to have a leasod wire press service. The News is already worth about a dollar an issue and only costs seven dollars a year. It was Gen. Farley's threo col umn Christmas article which he was reading to his friends in Wash ington which caused the trouble. It is a miracle that ho escapod Washington with whole bones. As a hair drossing and for the prevention of baldnoss, Ayer's Hair Vigor has no equal in merit and efficiency. It eradicates dan druff, koeps the scalp moist, clean and healthy, and gives vitality and color to weak, faded and gray hair. Tho most popular of tollot articles. General Gonzales. General Ambrosio Jose Gonzales died In New York city on July 8l8t. Gonoral Gonzales was a member of a distinguished Cuban family. He was a Journalist by profession. The earlier half of his life was de* voted to the cause of freeing his native island from Spanish oppres sion and was full of self sacrificing acts of bravery and romantic ad venture. Having married Miss Harriet Elliott, of South Carolina and having adopted this Btate as hin home, at the breaking out of the late war he volunteered as a private In the armies of the Con federacy. He was soon after made Inspector General on General Beauregard's staff und throughout the struggle did gallant and valua ble service. He was in a low state of health for several years prior to his death. General Gonzales* life was given to causes which though just did not triumph, but his indi vidual part was that of an able and gallant soldier whose memory should be equally dear to the land of his birth and the homo of his adoption. The Cotton Plant is fairly enti tled to notoriety. It has seldom occurred that the press of South Carolina has been disgraced by the publicat ion of an insinuation so base as that contained In this paragraph referring to Judge Hudson: "It has been stated that the Li quor Dealers' Association has put up $250,000 to defeat the Dispensary law. The question is frequently asked if the learned judge took his position in order to wreak ven geance on political enemios or in obedience to a more potent power in these avaricious times." Mt. Gallagher. Miss Emma Clardy is visiting her sister Mrs. B. L. Henderson. Miss Sallie Lee Henderson is vis iting at Rabun. Miss Annie Clardy of your town is visiting at this place. Miss Annie Owings who has been visiting R. P. Milam at Lanford Station has returned home. Mrs. B. L. Owings who has been at Enoree has returned home.

Tho protracted meeting at Mt. Olive will commence on next Sun day. Tho J. B. Parrott will assist the Rev. J. A. Martin. Mrs. John E. Goddard has just returned from a visit to Cross Hill. J. C. Martin visited at Ninety Six last week. Sit Steady in the Saddle. ?We have read Gen. Hugh L. Far ley's "snow-bound manifesto," otherwise known as his "Christmas reflection*," and are inclined to be lieve that the Gen. wants to suc ceed Capt. 8hell in Congress. And if he ugits there" he'll havo to beat the Hon. Stanyarne Wilson to it. And that will be mighty hard for him to do. In our opinion, if Brer Rabbit don't wish to get out of a job entirely, he'd better "sit steady in the saddle."?Clinton Gazette. "A farmer in Somerset county, Md." says tho New Orleans Times Democrat, "finds that his straw is worth more than his wheat. Ho produced 030 bushels of wheat on 83 acres, or about 19 bushels to the acre, which at the price ruling when the calculation was mado in dicated for the crop a value of $12 per acre. His straw weighed two tons per acre, and was worth $8 per ton, or $IG per acre. The ag gregate value of the grain was $103; of the straw $528." This is . of in terest to wheat growers in all parts of tho country, but it would be more Instructive if they were told whero they can all get $8 a ton for their straw.?News & Courier. There is more catarrh in this sec tion of the country than all othor diseases put together, and until tho last few years was supposed to bo incurable. For a great many years doctors pronounced it a local dis ease, and proscribed local remedies and by constantly failing to euro pronounced it incurable. Science has proven catarrh to be a consti tutional disease, and therefore re quires constitutional treatment. Hall's Catarrh Cure, manufactured by P. J. Cheney & Co., Toledo, Ohio, is the only constitntional cure on the market. It is taken internally in doses from 10 drops to a tea spoonful. It acts directly on the blood and mucous surfaces of the system. They offer ono hundred dollars for any case it fails to cure. Send for circulars and testimonials. Address F. J.
