The Alliance ha? declared in fa vor of it policy which will compel A lliuncemen to oppose the National Democracy* Tho Alllanco Is thoroughly or ganized and at this very timo Is conducting un aggressive campaign in South Carolina. Its methods of appeal to tho farming class are wonderfully effective and as a po litical factor it wields powerful In fluence. It the South Carolina Alliance follows tho courso mapped out at tho Walhalla meeting and is not opposed in timo it will find no dif fleully in transporting a majority of the farmers Into tho Populist party. Wo do not sny that It Is suro to de sert tho Democracy but all tho sign." point that way. Khali tho Democrats of South Carolina allow fheir party to he shorn of It* strength without resist ance? Shall they Ho quietly asleep until they have been ambuscaded, and then surrender without strik ing a blow? Wo believe that tho Democracy in tho State is in imminent peril, and that possibilities of averting disaster to it aro lessening every day. Wo can think of nothing which gives hope of protecting it from n strong and vigorous secret Society bent on its demolition ex cept a courageous democratic or gauiz-tUnn formed to defend Dem ocratic principles. A league of Democrats in South Carolina is necessary to prevent a split among the whites and tosivo the whito man's Democratic party. Retired from Politics. Tho ADVERTISER is pained to chronicle the fact that ah eminent and conspicuous Spartanburg "Re former" has given up politics. We allude to Mr. 0. P. Barrett. Mr, Barrett did Ilerculoan work for the "Reform cause" last year. His editorials in the Greenville Democrat denouncing Judge A. C. Huskell, Mr. Gonzales and others were greatly admired by numerous "llofcrmera." Mr. Barrett was also tho reputed author of some remarkable invective against tho Conservative candidate for Con gress from this district. Mr. Barrett is now in jail on the charge of swindling the mails and has failed to give bail. Tho Ad vf.kthkr is at a loss for a reason Why Mr. Barrett's editorial labors should cease. Ho should bo fur nished with paper and ink and ids productions would doubtless bo ac cepted with thanks by Iiis friend Gautt, at least we should think so. There is no reason whatover why Colonel Earrett should fall in pub lic estimation because ho is in jail. Ho has not degenerated in char acter. Mr. Barrett could not have composed the editorials which were printed in theGreonvillo Democrat had he then been less bad than he now appears. Tho ADVERTISER remembers with pleasure that there were somo Tillmanites in this county who openly declared their contempt and disgust for the Barrett edito rials published during the last cam paign. We congratulate them. Moan while, we rejoice that there is now a possibility 1 hat active measures will be taken to reform Mr. Barrett. Mr. A. W, Anderson. Mr. Albert W. Anderson has been appointed superintendent of the Port Royal & Western Carolina railroad and tho appointment will give great satisfaction. Mr. An dorsotl is one of Hie best informed und most efficient young railroad men in the South. He is a man of brains and high Character. Lailrons has larger interests in this railroad than any other county. Mr. Anderson Is a native Lauren9 man and his deserved promotion makes the Laurens people feel that they have somo voice in tho man H ? inent of the road. His appoint ment is hailed with pleasure in Greenville whero ho now re sides. Mr. Anderson Is liked wherever ho Is know n. Tho people who built tho road aro without exception delighted to havo Mr. Anderson at its head. Mr. Jno, A. Chapman, of New berry, is the author of n school his tory of South Carolina which has Just been published from tho New berry Publishing Company. The book is concisely and clev erly written. As it is intended for juvenile stt'dents tho narrativo Is necessarily condemn I and there is no preionso of elaborate detail. ISo development or improvement in the Ilteraturo of the South can bo expected until Southern peoples, : how that Ihero Is x demand and a desire for Southorn publications and it is a patriotic duly that Southern authors and publishers as well Khouid be given encourage ment. Mr. Chapman has performed n good work and Messrs. Auld and Iiouseal deserve congratulations foi their enterprise. Tho mechanical make up of tho book, printing etc., is excellent. The Message. Tho President's messago is a melancholy visitation to those Western people who are begging that a law be passed by which the product of their mines may be sold for considerably more than it Is worth. It Is also received with sadness by persons who yesrn for the enactment of a law which will have the effect of reducing the amount of whut they owe at the expense of their creditors. To these two classos of citizens the Advkbtiser offer's no consola tion, ft is just as well to candidly acknowledge that President Cleve land and the Democratic Congress aro inimical to them. They have neither tho sympathy nor respect of the votors who had most to do in last year's Democratic triumph and wo fear they will be left to whine and complain at what they will choose to regard merciless treatment by tho administration. between the lines of the mes sago to Congress there is to bo read a plain message from the Prosident to his party. It is sub stantially that the President has done what he could to place the party in an advantageous position to fulfill the mission to which the tho country has called it. The tariff cannot bo reduced while sil ver purchases continue. So long as tho Sherman act remains on the statute books tho solvency of the natiou is threatened and all busi ness will be unstable. Under this condition of things Congress could scarcely dare undertake any far ronching reforms and any attempt to deal with tho tariff question would necessarily prove futilo. Tariff relorm is In tho nature of a surgical operation. It involves the application of tho knife to an unnatural but extensive growth which has beon allowed to tako deep root in our governmental sys tem. It will be accompanied by somo loss of blood and a temporary financial depression, serious in a few localities, is to bo expected. While tho whole country is tremb ling with nervous agitation und fright caused by tho symptoms of a depreciated currency It would be perilous for law making of other than a perfunctory kind to bo con templated. Mr. Cleveland is great in all the ways of statesmen but ho is great est and strongest as a Democratic tariff reformer. In that character he has earnod and deserved the conlldonce of raoro than six million votors and saved the Democratic party from disability which but for him would have probably lasted for another quarter of a century. It now lies with Democratic Con gressman to accomplish their part of tho performance of the task which the people have delegated to them. Mr. Cleveland has blazed the way, removed obstacles as far as lay in his power and made it comparatively easy. Rebellion against Cleveland's leadership means the sulcido of the Democracy. Two Great Problems. Twenty-one white free-hold vo ters have petitioned for a dispen sary in Laufens. Thirty-four ne groes aro with them in tho request. Seventy-five whlto freehold voters aud ono negro have not asked for a dispensary. If a dispensary is established here on tho present showing the whiskey and negro problems will have solved each other. A great many people charged Judge Haskell with appealing to tho negro. Wo trust that none of these countenance an appeal to tho negro In tho matter of establishing a dispensary at Laurens. Thirty four whites and twenty-one colored against seventy-five whites and ono colored. That is how tho mat tor stands j soe lists published in Advertiser of Augusts. Who of those seventy-five whites are not freehold voters? "If any, speak!" There is moro catarrh in this sec tion of tno country than all other diseases put together, and until the last few years was supposed to be incuinble. For a great many yoars doctors pronounced it a local dis ease, and proscribed local remedies and by constantly falling to cure pronounced it incurable. Scionco has proven catarrh to bo a consti tutional disease, and thoroforc re quires constitutional treatment. Hall's Catarrh Cure, manufactured by P. J. Cheney & Co., Toledo, Ohio, is the only constitutional euro on tho 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 caso it fails to cure. Send for circulars and testimonials. Address P. J.

C LARDY, July 10, '93-ot j. p. I., c. The Southern baso ball league haa "played out" just as it always does beforo summer is over. Southern eitles are too small and too poor to pay tlw> expensos of flrst rate teams. It would bo very much better it professional baso ball was not at tempted in the South. Base ball leagues are very good things and furnish u great deal of pleasant amusement but it would be more sensible and decent If tho mem bership of the teams was conflnod to amateurs. It would be impossi ble for amateurs to spend four or Ave months at baso ball to the ne glect of their regular business but experience clearly shows that the South docs not desire so much of the game as tho professional leagues furnish. It would be a practical scheme for a leaguo of amateurs to bo or ganized among Southern cities, tho teams of which should each take, say, one trip, visiting all tho others, during tho season. Amateur leagues among tho smallor towns would do much to mako (he gamo more interesting and popular.
