BALL, ^__Proprietor. LAURELS, 8. 0., Aug. 28, 1804. f Col. Klillson Keitt, of Nowberry, as good rttid innocent a follow as ovor "ttoTe ffhoe leathor and a financial fad ist of the finest, feather, in an alarming letter lo "Mon of Carolina," warns them against the dangers that threaten their liberties and especially against a certain young stripling lawyer. Tho Col.'s warning comes after the horse has been stolen. The cry of "Catch tho thief!" comes from a rathor sus piolou8 quarter also. Up at Wost Point not long since a colored cadot was found in his quarters bound hand and foot with cords and protty well hacklod up in his person. Investiga tion, however, satisfied the country that tho victim had himself supplied tho cords that bound his writhing limbs and that tho stripes woro solf inflicted. * * ? After all, follow citizens, it's tho clevoro8t ofllco-grabblng scoop of tho ages; beautiful, beautiful! Woro It not tragical, tho biggost practical joko on rocord. Tho troublo lies in good manners having always proscribed the practical joko. We must bo pardoned if wo enter into tho spirit of tho time and join in tho unlvorsal tlttor. Ono hundred and twonty-llvo has bcon our avoirdupois for a third of a contury, but we aro now in danger of grow ing fat: Obosity, And two fifty, Our fated destiny. Yos, friohds, lot all the dofoatcd laugh and bo of good choor. Tho noat noss of tho trick tukes away the least savour of ugliness. * * * Dr. Pope withdraws -feora tho con toatj/tff Governor' Tho Reformers pf*ovod too much for him though he was handy with his woapon as a Giant roformor. Young David now has his sword. So closos tho career of another politician of poetic temperament, who had his dream of imparting purity and honesty to party. We have been laughing at him occasionally and scold ing him some and now wo make amends to tho man who refuses to wear a master's collar. * * * It is a grave rcsposlbility to hold office. A good man who loves his State, county and people, assumos office for their sake; ho doos it with fear and trembling. Tho host and most con scientious cltizons aro needed. Cast your vote this day for your choice oven when you, think you havo only a cholco of evils. "After tho ball Is over" hav ing failed to voto you may sco where your ballot could havo done incalcula ble good. * * * It is pleasant to read tho great speech of Joseph Barnwoll to Democrats in Charleston on Wednesday evening last and to know that there is ono man left in the State ablo to discuss with force tho state of tho country and the issues of tho hour. Wo only regret we havo not tho space to glvo our readers the ben efit of it. Wo present in another place a specimen of tho educational litera ture of the campaign just closing, a -fair^poolmen, to which our follow clt izons of Lancaster have been listening. * * ti Gen. Farley in his ''Epistle General" says that he will not recalcitrate. "Once a reformer, always a reformer.'' In ye olden days a plain old codger who was a captain of tho mollsh in formed his good wife that ho was a candidate for General. Tho good wo man protested and wanted to know tho reasons for his ambition. His suf ficient answor was: "Onco a gincral, always a ginoral." # * * In tho late lovoly campaign by tho crowned heads of South Carolina Gov ernor Tillman twitted Gon. Butler upon his encounter with Tom Watson at Prosperity. In convention, Georgia negroes and Populists during last week nominated Watson to represent tho 10th Georgia District in Congross. * * * Mr. Frank Moon, a sober sided Re former and farmer, of Nowberry county, kicking against ring rule, de clares himself a candidate for Gover nor. Ho avoids the cut and dried pri maries and will fight it out in tho No vember tussle. * * * Tho Stato authorties aro gottlng up a case for tho Supremo Court to test tho Constitutionality of tho Dispensary Law. An oxtra sosslon of tho Supreme Court is askod to hoar tho case. That court scorns to have llttlo rest since Tillman came in. * * * Tho Supremo Court with Melvor, McCowan and Popo had a light job. In tho absonco of concrote cases they ontcrtainod the country with u moot case, to tho authority of which Judge Popo courteously l>owcd. He and Judge Gary can bow In harmony now. * ? ? To tho Attornoy General of tho Stato: Whllo tho Supremo Court is in oxtra sosslon why not submit tho Acts of 1803 and havo them passed upon in bulk? Glvo tho Court a llttlo rost. * * * While Gov.

Id a community ovorwholmingly agricultural it is hard for communism and nihilism to get firmly rooted in tho social fabric. This is tho condition in South Carolina, tho paramount in tore8t being agriculturo, that interest being so universal that ovcry other is in some way interwoven with it?to such extent that tho economic conditions hero at tho South may bo considorcd as an agricultural entirety. Leaving out tho nogro (and as a fuetor, having an in?uonco, he need not be re garded) this is preeminently a land lord's community. Compared with the northern communities tho holdings of tho landlords at tho South aro largor and yot while this Is tho fact tho land lords compose tho groat bulk of tho population or aro so related to every other element as that tho landed Influ ence dominates tho sentiment of tho South. What is known as Conservatism is overywherc, und innatoly inoldont to landholding. They aro Inseparable, und land ownership cannot exist in communities without tho constant prosouco of tho staid, quiet, non-ag gresslvo and, if you like, non-progros 8lvo quality of lot well onough alone, commonly denominated conservatism. This has been tho "stato of man'1 at tho South for two hundred years; and until right rocently, sineo tho trend of largo populations to tho North-West, tho South has boon a peculiar people and constituting a peculiar civilization in these States. Her pooplo established until now no othor i u t o r o s t: thoy found it to their interest to become and remain staple producers, and consumers of tho products of tho manufactures of other peoples and States. Tho result of the war loft them still landlords with tho same holdings and without capital to establish other industries, when it boeamo to their interest to do so. This Is the situation to-day. By industry and economy thoy havo largely recuperated and havo sub stantially preserved tho peculiar fea tures of living which characterized their fathers of fifty years ago. In fact hundreds of industries formerly prac ticed at the South in a domestic way havo been abandoned and wo stand more exclusively than ever a purely agricultural society. With those con ditions it is not out of place to look well to the influences about us. Every reader of tho history of our Government need not be told that tho South has been tho prey of the commercial and mauufacturing North by unfriendly tariff and financial legislation since the establishment of the Government, But other enemies and antagonisms are assailing us at this juncture. They aro so Insidious thai their dangerous and deadly character aro so much tho greater. Tho landed interest has been assailed by Agrarian ism in all ages. All classes have and do attack It. Thero is not a feature of political agitation at present in this country that is not an indirect attack upon land ownership as fostering and sustaining exelusivencss and building up an aristocratic class in the country. No matter what may bo the proposi tion, direct ownership of railroads and telegraphs, the assumption of the of fice of furnishing money direct to the people or any other fad or flattering proposition of relief in times of finan cial distress, thoy point to tho general idea of the Government being the fa ther of the people, the ownership of all tho lands by the Stato, for tho uso of which the people must pay: the ab olition of all property except personal property; the exclusive education of all tho people by the State: tho anni hilation of all individuality: tho ab sorption of tho State by the general Government, the conversion of State and Federal Governments into one great consolidated communistic com munity. To this extent wo are not prepared to say tho present leaders of popular sontimcnt and olllee grabbers aro prepared to go, but we do say, that tho necessary tendency of their speak ings and teachings aro to these ends and that tho seed Is being sown in our land, which, if not checked, must breed anarchy and subvert our peculiar civi lization. For four years In our State dragon's tooth have boon sown broad cast. As a lcgitimoto outgrowth of these teachings we havo the abnormal and dangerous instance of this State entering into a groat monopoly of a business employing thousands of agents appointed by the chief magis trate, who necessarily become his tools for tho perpetuation of his party and partizans in power, employing the peo ple's taxos, credit, and money without guard or check and without tho oppor tunity awarded tho citizen of examin ing into its operations, its windings and nocessary corruptions. Tts agents aro armed by the government with tho badges and emblems of power, as patent and more Offensive than tho hirelings of monarchs, because we are supposed to go In and out in a free land without encountering upon the highway the uniformed tools of the Govornment. Wo set those views down hurriedly: wo hopo to Cause men to think and beware: wo love the civilization of our fathers: it was simple, honest and free: It had no patornal fonturc; it smacked not of fatherhood by the State; the peoplo governed and the Stato gov erned as little as possible. Tn the meanwhile thero Is an insidious assault Upon those who uro content to acquire homes and who hope to transmit them to their children. The radicalism of the North tended to affect the rights of the States, but it did not Infringe upon tho rights of property and the pursuit of happinos-s by its acquisition. Paternalism, popu lism, and grcenbackism and nil the ories in sympathy with theso ideas of governmental policy assail property and establish communism. As a jour nalist we fcol It an Incumbent duty to suy and to repoat and to emphasize that thore is not and has not been a popular leader and sponkcr in this Stato for four years whoso proachings do not inovitubly lead to centralism, populism and the utter annihilation of ovory healthy Idea of property and so cial order In our Stato. On this lino wo will havo moro to say. I'implos, bolls and 'othor humors of tho blood are liable to,break out in the .a weather. Prevo'nt it by taklik' Hood's Sarsaparlllu. \ Education a' Tal ff. I Wo givo tho following extract from a speech mado by tho Hon. Mr. Cullln9 candidate for tho houso for Lancaster, dollvorcd at Korshaw on Thursday last. It scorns that there aro sovcral lawyers, candidates for that county and among thcin tho present Speaker of tho House, tho Hon. Ira B. Jones, tho gcrtleman who recolved tho lovely fees over thero in a bond case a fow years ago. Other lawyers aro candi dates und tho Hon. Cullins don't like tho way the plums uro going. Tho probabilities aro ho was for Farmer lOUcrbo and feels that it is time to put on his war paint. Wo will givo our readers in next issuo too issuo of Cul lins' eloquence. Ho is indebted to tho Lancaster Review for his immortality. Hut hoar tho statesman: Farmers can't vote an independent tlckot?lho boot-blacks are pulling at you all tho time.

Why, it was killed by amendments?it looks like a nigger bill. Jones, talks about paregoric-, but it's weak pare gorie, and ho's got a sting in his tail. Old fool Cullins, eh??want to getont and whip him'.?come; out and try it! I don't want your votes.

It'll take 40 devils to beat Cullins if I get down there. * * * Tho straight-out democrats of Fair field county are organizing into clubs and will form a county convention. They will not participate in the State and county primaries to-day. They adopt the platform of the democracy In this State anterior to 1800. They have been excluded from all participa tion In tho present so-called democracy for four years. They voted with tho thirty-two thousand conservatives for Tlllman two years ago and all his ticket. They were exoluded on the 13th instant as unworthy and along with the negroes, from selecting a can didate for Covornor. Now tho cry goes forth: '"To your tents, O Israel." ' And now, whereas my father did lade you with a heavy yoke. I will add to your yoke: my fathor hath chastised you with whips, but I will chastise you with scorpions.'' "But he forsook the counsel of tho old men. which they had given him and counselled with the young men that were grown up with him and which stood before him.'' And so tho kingdom was disrupted. * John Temple Graves, the eloquent young orator of Georgia, addresses a letter to the Constitution deploring the prostitution of politics in that State. The people believe that every thing is fixed by big and little rings and that the judicial departments of the government are a part of the un holy alliance. Judges and solicitors, county judges and the whole judicial machinery of the Stato are manipu lated. The property, lives and liberty of the people depend on whether they take snuff with the ringsters. The times are out of joint in Georgia. The situation is a little grave, indeed, but Graves would make a grave mistake if ho advises Georgians to transfer their allegiance to this sido the Savannah. * * ?
