Liberal reduction made for large Ad? V6rllsotnents. W. W. BALL, Proprietor. LAUREN H, 8. C, Nov. 14, 1898. Correcting u Contemporary. Under tho caption "Information Wanted" tho Aikon Times inquires "Will the Grconvlllb Nows or tho Lau rons Advertiser toll us by what rule or prinolplo they aro govoruod?" and makes an otfort to point out a number of inconslstonces that this paper has boon guilty of. Wo take pleasure in answering tho criticisms relying on tho fairness and courtesy of tho Timos to placo our dofonce before its readers. Tho Timos, misrepresentations of The Advertiser we beliovo wore unintentional and wo havo no doubt that it will hasten to corroct them. Tho Timos begins by saying that "Thoy (Tho Groonvillo Nows and tho Advertiser) praised Ear-lo ono year and 'cussed' him tho next." It is not true that tho advertiser "cussod" Gonoral Earle. It has never abused him nor spoken harshly of him at any timo. Next Tho Timos chargos, and with truth, so as far as wo aro concern ed, that "Thoy donounced the Al llanco for teaching Popullstie doc trines and donouneo it now because it doosn't go into tho Populist party." Wo do denounce tho Popullstie doc trinos and confoss a contempt for tho hypoericy that permits ono to advo cate thorn and vet claim to bo a Demo crat. Doos Tho Timos admire tho man whoso voto botrays his political creed? Tho Times follows with this: Thoy claimed that tho anti option bill kopt cotton down. Tho antl op tion bill was klllod, so was tho price of cotton. Tho Advertiser flies will show that it said nothing of tho kind,1 that It ex pressed no opinion as to tho effect of the Anti option bill. Another foundationloss charge with reforonce to us Is this: Thoy attributed tho panic to the Sherman bill. Tho Sherman bill was repealed and stocks and bonds have boon falling ovor since. Thoy laudod the fllllbustoring tactics against tho "Force Bill," but donounced tho samo against the Silver bill. Sineo tho repeal of tho Sherman act thero has boon no epidemic of bank failures and it is again possible to ne gotiate loans. The panic is ovor. Never has The Advertiser "laudod" filibus tering on any account since the prosont editor has been in control. Horo is a sentonco t'naf. is absurdly untruo because wo donounced Hill as a selfish demigoguo in our issue of week boforo last: "They donounced Hill last year. This, yoar thoy applaud him." This charge is oqually flimsy: \ "They honored and respected Butlor, tin. vanquisher of Watson. Now ho is ;V the vilest man in tho Stato." Tho Advertiser has spoken in But lor's defense within the last month and not an unkind criticism of him has over appeared in our columns, This caps the climax of tho Timos' chain of funny mistatcmcnts: "You have denounced all the Refor mers repeatedly. Now you pat tho back of Farley, Shell, Harris et al." Within tho last fow weeks The Ad -vertiser has mentioned both Farley and Sholl In terms which those gontle raen would not construe as Indicating political friendliness. Nor did The Ad vertiser neglect to condemn tho ap pointment of Harris as postmaster at Union. The Times closes tho arraignment thus: "There aro others too numerous to mention. Can you explain your in consistencies? "Gov. Shoppard, beware, they havo sung your praises and horalded your virtues to tho world; but remombor tho past history of those papers, for thoy will surely turn against you and then you can find a homo only In the house of your antagonists." To prove tho defense we have made, we challenge reforonce to otir files. ' Tho Times ought to learn that' it is possible for a paper to bo bold in de claring its conviction and at tho samo fair in its treatment of mon and mens-. Ul'08. Those charges of The Times aro no loss truthful than the average of them made against The Advertiser. Wo publish thorn as an average sample of Reform accusacy. Our Contemporary, the Cotton Plant, exudes this gummy idea: "Tho Laurens Advertiser should tacklo some Alllanccmnn on tho sul> Troasury when he comos to town If it wants to find out whother tho Alliance has abandoned that demand or not. It has been discussed in reform papers un til tho pooplo understand It nnd wo only ? wait for some such mossback as tho Ad vertiser to opon tho subject to begin tho discussion ngain." So tho Oeala demands are meant to Ik) discussed until tho subjects is ex hausted and then retired. That is just what'tho Advertiser lias boon assort ing. Wo presume of courso that since your recent epidemic of free coinage speeches, tho people understand that question too and that it has now been embalmed and laid away sine dlo. Thank you for your kind admission contom|m>rnry. Tho Oeala domands aro to be talked about and "gassed" about and "blowcd" about and howled about until all the Latimcr and Talbert sort are sent to Congress and thon and then?silonc. and oblivion. Cotton Plant, kindly look In the glass and tell us next week how long mought be your ears. Replying to tho Advertiser our Popullstie and soft contemporary tho Cotton Plant says: "As for what It says about "rieh re form landlords" we will "set 'em up" if we can't show him ten cases where voters woro coerced by railroads, mill owners and morchants where he will show us ono that was coerced by a ''rich reform landlord." Cotton Plant have a lucid inter val for just one moment, please, while wo try to make you understand that if employees aro "coerced" in voting ?re coerced from telling. We oan't prove "coercion," neither can you, you poor old sightless thing! White people not only should but will continue to rule. Racial superi ority cannot be overcome. Intelligence is impregnable and negroes in power are more creatures of frighted imagi nations. Wheuevor the test comes this paper and its editor, cost what it may, will do their part in maintaining the government by white men, "Recon struction" as we know it was an appen dix to tho war and a part of that cruel record. . It was mado possible and in flicted upon us by tho mistaken North. It cannot return. Tho war is over and good government in tho South has the sympathy and commands the aid of all Yankeedom. Wo aro not roady to confess that tho white people ol tho South aro Incapa ble of disagreeing and voting against each-other without consenting for thomselvos to sink into a race of scala wags. If wo cannot take issue with each othor on quostlons of public ocon omy unless to end in anarchy wo aro all slaves. If wo can suppress tho ne gro and aro yet helpless to restrain our own groed and passions thon we are oolleetlvely a sot of beastly, crazy and IrroBponsiblo fools, and ontltled to no moro rospect than bruto force in spires. Tho Advertiser has not al ways believed as it does now. Touch ing theso matters it has felt with tho Greenville Nows. Now it thinks dif ferently hoping that its vision is cloar or and that its porspoetlvo of our om barassing political condition is seen in a stronger light. Aro wo to have no political convic tions? Aro those of us who aro Demo crats by instinct and training to stand ready to surrender our opinions and become tho llunkoys of others who out number us?. Must wo woar this gar ment of Democracy whoso toxture of truth wo honor and trust only at tho bidding and by tho Indulgonce of Popu lists? Submitting in meekness and tame sorvillty shall we tear It oft* while Mr. Tillman cries: "Down, you dog, bo quiet whllo I protect you from tho nig ger!" What conlldonco shall wo place in Tillman who treated with negro State Senators for thoir votes and aidod and abetted tho disposal of Mr. Moiso's congressional majority to Goo. W. Murray! And In the mcantimo what shall wo say for oursolves when tho pa triotic domocrats of othor states de mand of us tho voto of South Carolina in tho struggle against Republican fraud and robbery? Do circumstances justify us now In becoming ingrates to all our Northern frionds and In cancel ling ovory political obligation that wo owe to tho country? The Greenville Nows onco drew a painfully graphic picturo of tho times that South Carolinians saw boforo Hampton came In '70 and it is "not pleasant to contemplate thoir recur rence. But tho question now is ono of froo thought. Tho slavery of opinions is infinitely worse than the servitude which simply exacts labor. Tho lib erty of thinking and speaking and vot ing as one's conscience tolls him is not to bo Idly Hung away ovon at tho mon aco of a dark apparition which to some is as real as to us it is disgusting. We should not say that it is not worthy of defence although wo knew that It would bring a timo when "a white man could not show his faco on the streots unless ho was prepared to fight his way through and shoot quick and straight." The Advertiser does not under stand that tho organization of a loaguo of Domocratic clubs Is equivalent to a divido of tho Democratic party in this Stato. On tho contrary tho Adverti ser trusts that thoir mission will bo to hold tho factions together. Tho Ocal aito faction has boon gradually odglng away from the party standards for sovo ral years. Dominated by jnen who do not believe in tho principles of any party and who live by and for the spoils of otfico, tho mass of those who com prise it have almost unconsciously al lowed themselves to bo towod and yanked along until now thoy have been landed on tho frontier of a party for which they have at heart no kindly feeling at all. Tho progress of this re bellion by tho leadors has gono so far because It has been unopposed. The policy which tho Domocrats in South Carolina havo pursued has boon one of apathy since tho close of tho Shoppard campaign whllo through tho means of a socret society having branches in ovory corner of tho State tho doctrines of Populism havo been porsoverlngly taught. In view of this It would havo boon puzzling had not tho Ocalaito leadors (who moro resemble Populists than any other kind of political agita tors) become audacious In tho utterunco of throats towards tho Democ racy. Tho Hampton lottor Is already having tho effect of chastising thoso loaders back into line. Prior to its publication tho Columbia Register would not have ventured to havo hinted that Senator IrbyV defiant, tar Iff talk In tho Sonate did not necessarily rep resent the Tillman wing. When tho formation of tho leaguo clubs actually begins wo shall expect to behold Governor Tillman renounce his Third Party foolishness and become an enthusiastic partisan of Clovoland, while tho suttlers who now vend Peo ple's Party mush In print will become shoutors for Chicago Platform Democ racy. In othor words wo aro persuaded that only a little Democratic aggres sion ? is needed to frighten Populists out of the borders of tho Stato and that with the oxception of bold but daft men liko Dargan and tho Koitts tho ring leadors of the mutiny seeing them selves opposed, will spit at tho soci alistic idols which they are now striv ing to entice the people to worship. General Hampton's letter has already accomplished much in this direction. Of course It is nonsense to say that tho formation of Democratic Clubs by General Hampton will-canso a split in the Democratic party. If there is to be a split it will be caused by persons who will not join Democratic clubs, in other words .Populists. Such clubs ex ist in other states, why not in this? There is no roason for - haste In forming these clubs but It had just as well be understood now that hereaf ter there is to be a real Democratic party in South Carolina. When the proper time comes for the movement to take shape (and it is not far off) nearly all the white people of every faction will join It. High class job printing done at I in pro V Ol no Ii Is. Tho announcement some weoks ago that thesubscription price of the An V?BTI8ER would be increased next year was accompanied with a promise of early and considerable improve ments. This week the promise is ful filled. A now dress of body typo of an average smallor sizo in tho Inside pages, sot solid, (editorials excoptcd) gives our readers the equivalent of about a column and a half moro of roadlng matter than heretofore. In other words, the size of tho paper is practically Increased to that extent. In futuro we shall use one size of typo in tho inside pages and tho paper will be a much neater and moro pre 8ontlblo shoot. In tho meantimo and for tho next few weeks we continue tosoll tho paper at tho old prico of ono dollar a year. Now is tho ominontly proper time to subscribe and delays aro oxponslvo.
