Thoren? no Domocratie party in this i State. /Wo havo a very radically rc- ' in party in South Carolina artd Iis itself tho domocratie pa.-ty. Tom Reld, tho chioftain and <^'rand tycoon of tho ropubllcans would, reject it as too utterly utter radical for his followers in tho utterly uttor down East. All tho same, in South Carolina .thoy pass for domocrats; God save tho mark. There has novcr in tho history of manhood been such a fraud. "Am I a dog that I should do this thing." How many democrats of tho true faith, real democrats in South Carolina, havo boon kicked, cuffed, spat upon in tho last four years, utterly ignored and Hold to tri?, go, stand aside as rotton and utterly unworthy, thoro is no knowing. At presont thoy aro counted with tho Tillmanltos who spurn thorn and whoso shoos they are licking. Thoy havo boon sont to tho shambles. Will you stand It? How long aro you to Uck tho hand of tho master, as tho "mongrel, puppy, whelp and hound and cur of low degree," fawns and whines uround tho whlpporln? Answor upon your manhood, if any Is*loft. * * * The popular party in this State has for four years denounced tho demo cratic party and its lcadors. Populism, ugrarianism, socialism and every othor ism foreign to democracy enters into tho platform of tho so-called de mocracy. Thoro is a rospcctablo mi nority of puro democrats in this State, who do not bow down nor proposo to bow down and worship these strange gods. What aro thoy to do? Thoy havo boon told by tho ruling majority ?wo will havo nothing to do with you. Then lot this minority go in peace; form their society,ami set Up tho God Of their fathers, holding to the tubor -"-"inscto, if thoro bo but ton of them to savo tho city. * * * Sonator Irby ralllos to tho dofencc of poor Gov. Tillman, who is unable to tako care of himself. Ho says that Tillman is a simon puro Democrat and Cleveland's sort ought to lcavo the party, if anybody ought. Thoro is an old procldont of tho members rebelling and tho hands rofusing to supply food to tbo stomach and tho logs to carry tho body. This is tho first proposition recorded of the ontiro body robolling against tho head. * * * The conservatives aro tho authors, makers and finishors of the olection laws of South Carolina which gavo her without fraud a whito man's govern ment. And now by audacity and fraud tho conservatives aro robbed of any participation in tho Stato Government or Stato affairs. And with reluctance wo say thut those who formed the Democratic Stato Executives Com mittco in 1888-00 arc solely responsi ble for tho fraudulent situation. * * ? Gov. Tillman begins to soo that tho ADVERTISER was right some time ago in tho position that light didn't come from tho West. For tho last four yours ho has hud onactcd In Columbia by his multifarious mongrol conventions n popullstic platform. It scorns now that ho is troublod with something liko the buck ague, and will snouk on to the , .Democratic Platform. * * ? A movement of some sort Is antici pated in opposition to tho Ring which named Evans for Governor and' in which ruovemont the Conservatives wore contemptuously oxcludod. What ever is dono will bo done in the inter est of true democracy and not in the interest of Gon. Butlor or any one man. ? Judgo B. C. Prossloy died at his res idence at Suinmorvllle ut an ndvnnccd ago on last Wednesday. Ho was an ablo lawyer and upright man who stood to his convictions, us fur removed from a timo server us any man who has lived In tho Stato, and was an honor to his raco. And tho proposition is for "Reform ers" to namo tho candidates for a groat party and thon donouncc those who woro excluded from participation as "Indepondonts" and worse than radi cals. Eh? * ??* Tho Supromo Court orders an extra session for Wednesday tho 12th to dc tormlno tho constitutionality of tho Dispensary Aet of 1893. Tho doclsion of tho question will likewise decide if tho Supreme Court is supromo in this State. * * * In Arkansas tho Democrats boat the Populists hollow. The troublo with """the Populists lies in the fact that thoy are not sufficiently populous. Watch South Carolina, if you plooso. * ? John Gary Evans says lr oicctcd ho will bo Govornor of tho wholo State. Tillman has givon up Georgia and don't ovon holp Tom Watson. * * 4 Judgo Cobb, of Alabama, "Wbero am I at," is renominatcd for Congress, whllo Tom Watson pulls at tho off wheel Populist wagon in Georgia. ? * ? Wo glvo largo spaco to Col. L. W. Youman'8 letter in this issuo as it so apply oxprossos our vlow of tho. situa tion in South Carolina. * * * Senator Jonos, of Novada, Republi can, bolloving in freo silyor and bollov ing that ho cannot sorvo two masters, goes ovor to tho Populists. * * Pray, how mauy populist conventions did GDvornor Tillman attend in tho North-West? "Tho Year of Jubilee." The Charleston News and Courier publishes on tho 5th tnst an exhaustive Review of the Good Cities' -work for tho industrial year closing with tho 31st of August, 1801. It includes also a roview of tho industrial conditions of the ontiro State, from mountains to sea. from soa to tho Savannah. It shows tho good old city with a harbor of 23 foot of water, a yoar of hopeful conditions amid the depression which in all lands has characterized tho last two years. Tho conditions aro hope f?'l' throughout tho Stato. Tho Re view is a work of splendid enterprise, worthy of tho News u*-d Courier. It is also in pamphlet and should be on tho dosk of ovory business man in South Carolina. Tho conservatives who have boon as dumb as oystors for two years aro told that they aro persecuted becauso they arc not democrats. If opposition to Tillman and his methods, his dispen sary and spies and that sort of opposi tion indulgod by sucking dovos, puts thorn out of tho fold, thoy aro not dem ocrats. So tho wolf complained that Jho lamb muddied tho water and the lamb impudently answering that ho is bolow tho wolf in the stream, tho wolf ato him for his supper. Thus the con servatives aro warned that thoy must not organize and oxorclse tho right of manhood and form a political associ ation of their own. * Undor tho popular doetrino of evolu tion or moro strictly "selection," very small animal productions have resulted in a small Stato like South Carolina. Thus wo havo diminutive intellectual specimens developed. Lilliputian poli ticians seem to think ihat Gon. Butler prefers his own interest to that of true democracy. Gen. Butler answers tho picayune insinuation and says that his interest must not bo regarded when tho interest of true democracy is in volved. Gon. Butler is a product of the environment of the "wide, wide world and of no pent up Utiea. * * * A Westorn North Carolina moon sir nor struck Laurcns a few days ago: then be struck a Democrat: then he struck a populist; then ho struck a straightout: then he struck a Tillman ito; then ho struck a Reformer. Says tho Tarheel on mooting this last, and draining his keg: "See here, friend, can't you manage to re form your infernal universal political vocabulary, by the time I cross tho lino again." * * * Tho News and Courier takes a Chris tian view of tho situation. For four yoars they havo argued, exhorted, begged, warned, entreated. And now that the white people manning tho Ship of State are approaching Drunken Dick's Shoals, wo will all go to tho bow wows together. "Where thou dlest will I die, and there will I bo buried." * * * Big elephants, when they come ton bridge, put out a foot and feel their way mighty carefully. Tho great big dailies In the State are picking1 a path way mighty gingerly. These bo tick lish times. * Tho Devil can quote scripture for his purpose. Every Tillmanite sheet in the the country is appealing to Gen. Hampton for his political gospel. * * * One urges Ifl to 1: the othor Hi to 1 with "parity," and of the speeches and writings thoro is no end. "Fifty-four forty, or light" was the way old Lewis Cass had of putting it. * * * Who is the author of this sort of stuff? "Neither of tho old parties will give the relief that the people de mand." * * * Gen. Ear-le is a little late with his advice to tho people. Ho charges into print, but advises to stand still.

Hood's Sarsaparilla is peculiar to it self, in a strictly medicinal sonso, in three Important particulars, viz: first in tho combination of remedial agents used; second, In tho proportion in which they aro mixed: third, in tho process by which tho active curative properties of the preparation aro se cured. These threo important points mako Howl's Sarsaparilla peculiar in its medicinal merit, as it accomplishes cures hitherto unknown. But it is not what wo say but what Hood's Sursaparllla does, that tolls tho story. What Hood's Sarsaparilla has dono for others Is reason for confidence that It Is tho mcdicino for vou.
