BALL, _ Proprietor. f/LAURENS, 8. C, Sept. 18, 1804. Anil UumbuK largo class of honest mon in tho United States, tired and dis gusted with corruption, ring rule and trusts declared thomsolvos outsido of party and having tho balance of power elected a democrat President, ^those hundred thousand votors bolng f republicans. At th? closo of Clovc ' land's first torm ho burnt tho bridges behind him and doolarod for tarltT re form. Ho was thon boaten by tho ring, who wore terror stricken at tho idea of honesty. But Cleveland per sisted, and in'isi)2 was renomii.Uod uptfn a platform of honest monoy and a tar 10 for revenuo only. A fow hun dred thousand honest mon voted his ticket and tho country was saved. Tho republicans in four years had gutted the troasury, brought on an unexam pled panie, destroyed half the property in tho country and to uso a liguro, scuttled the Ship of Stato. Fortunatoly Jim South has suiTorod loss than other parts of the country, largoly duo to hor lack of groat industries and armies of laborers to bo thrown out of employ ment. But Cleveland alone, in the jL; tooth of Southern traitors and doma goguos in his own party, has suucocdod In bringing back prosperity and hope for tho future South Carolina alono, of all Southorn States, . indulges through tho mouths of blatant dema gogues, filthy abuso of Clovoland. Tho avorago South Carolinian Is to bo pardoned, howovcr. No country in tho history of tho world has boon so uniictcd as South Carolina with char latanism and domagoguolsm. Cleve land knows that a silver dollar, u groonbauk dollar, a sllyor__xflr.tillcato or a gohl?M5rtlTicfcto"Ts not worth its (wjP>UMi*fmrport unless it will command a gold dollar. Clovoland's administra tion has boon directed to tho problom of affording to tho pooplc a sound our roncy. A depreciated curroncy, or an inllatod curroncy, as you please, would holp all of us who aro in debt apd Ab dullnmitos gonerally, but it would bo dishonest and wreck the country. If you havo a sllvor dollar or a silver certificate In your pockot you can now got for it a gold dollar and a gold dol lar is worth its weight in gold all over tho world. But let it bo understood that we aro to havo free unlimited coinage of sllvor, Inaugurate tho pol icy and proscnt tho silver at Undo Sam's cashier's desk and you will got a silvor dollar in exchange. Tho Gov ornmont has no gold except that the pcoplo pay into tho treasury. Tho domagoguo harangues that Govern ment Bonds command a premium. Vory true, but because tho Interest is payablo in gold. Again, if a govern ment repudiates its bonds and thoy get into foreign hands, tho merchandise of tho citizens of tho repudiating coun try is seized wherovcr found In for olgn countries. The North very truly holds to tho theory that without Clove land at tho helm, tho Southorn doma goguo would have ruined tho country. And if wo listen to tho populists in South Carolina, who call thomselves democrats, wo would be In tho catogory of thosowiio would cut our own throats, .f thero aro any democrats left in South Carolina, it is timo that they ^h&almf' assert their Independence of bogus democratic spoilsmen and stand on the Chicago platform, which de mands that all money should bo as good as gold and as good as Jthe gold of all other countries. Clovoland Is a bi metallism We havo bimetallism, sil ver and gold, but adopt freo unlimited coinago of silver and in your natural lives you will never sco a yollow dollar unless in an old stocking. You had better stop back to tho democratic platform, repudiate tho political pi rates of this State and cease to listen to tho populists and humbugs who sug gest new ways of growing rich and "paying old debts." It is ridiculous that you should bo fooled and cajoled into giving them your offices. Tho Right Knmo. Tho Grconvillo News boasts that MorrlttSVillO) a mountain precinct in Greenville county, cast everyone of its sovonty votes in tho recent primary for tho Conservatives. It wants every anti to fling up his hat and hurrah for these freemen, and up goes our torn and tattered tile. They say no country without mountains has maintained its independonco and Poland is cited as an example. Our contemporary cites tho pure air of tho aerial cliffs as lib erty-inspiring without a word as to tho inspiring quality of their crystal dows. 'i d 10an will Ho.su Up-country Negrooa.

Sho is followed horo by English cranks who call themsolvos a "committco" who propose to investi gate tho mnttor and roport to brothor ranks in trioir country. Tho con sensus of high authority is that thoy arc cheeky intormoddlors. It ought not to bo treated as an "English, you Vuow" affair. Tho probabilities aro ?^ad tyjj?-' At this writing we aro unadvised of tho action"of tho true Democratic Con ference held at Columbia last night. We do know something of its composi tion and that it held a largo clement of tho ablest and most patriotic men in South Carolina. Ono thing, there must bo a cutting looso absolutely from tho present organization in tho Stato calling itsolf democratic. Truo, no body outsido tho Stato is fooled, but tho present organization must be ac cepted by tho national democracy, so long as wo oursolvcs do not protest. In tho meanwhile no aolf-respocting dem ocrat can continue to bear a part in the fraud which for four years has consti tuted our attitude. Ho must thereforo withdraw himsolf and forma pure and unadulterated party to bo hold guilt less and not pnrticep in tho fraud. Tho action at Columbia should bo to pro vide for this organization. It should not put out candidates for State olllccs for November, but loavo oach county and euch domocrrat to act for himself. It is too lato to make a winning light. If Tillmun goes to the Senate ho will accomplish nothing; in two years our peoplo will appreciate tho bursting of the Tillmun Bubblo and our banners will bo to tho brcezo under which thoy will gladly rally. ? Here is ono thing wo take pleasure in testifying to in Laurens county. Dur ing tho reign of political excitement for four years there has been little or no Intoloranco, bull-dozing or boycot ting of thoso in tho minority and all havo been allowed their political opin ions without hindrance or insult. The majority havo recognized manli ness and honesty in their opponents. As holding stubbornly to tho views of tho minority and persistently, we freely make this statement. Wo believe at no distant day the falso teachings and selllshnes8 of demagogues will bo ap preciated and relinked and all our peo plo, us of old, will stand on u genuine democratic platform and shoulder to shoulder. * * * At an extra session of the Supreme Court on tho 12th Instant cuses involv ing tho constitutionality of tho Dis pensary law of '03 came on to be heard. Justice Gary occupied his seat for the lirst timo. On tho part of the citizens. Major Croft, of Aikcn, and Mr. J. 1'. Kennedy, of Charleston, made ar guments whilo the Stato was repre sented by Attorney-General O. W. Buchanan and Col. It. W. Boyd, of Darlington. Tho Court intimated that there would be an early decision. If the decision should be adverse for the citizens and in favor of the consti tutionality of the law tho question wiM go to theo federal courts on appeal. * * * The democrats in this State could not, if they so chose, got into the populist Or reform ranks in this State. Last night they met in conference at Columbia. They have no doubt placed themselves upon a platform of genuine democracy. If they have nominated a ticket against the populist ring Tilhnan?Gary?Irby ?Gantt ticket, or not, no matter. I f beaten, horse, foot and dragoons in Novembor, they havo lost nothing, onrned their own self-respect and that of all democrats throughout the coun try. it If Governor Tillman's convention on the 10th should havo to swallow the Democratic platform after for four years in many conventions repudiating it with scorn and unanimously accept ing Oealaism and Populism, it will be exceedsngly humiliating. What will their people think of Tillman, Irby, Strait, Latimor and Gantt us leaders "koeping the word of promise to the oar and breaking it to the hope." Most of tho Southern Gavernors cut up high jinks and wrote heroics in an swer to tho proposition of the English Committee to investigate lynchings down here. Gov. Tillman.acted dif ferently and expressed his pleasure that they should come. But suppose they should aecept his courteous prof fer? * * ? And now thoy say that Gen. Barle and John Sam Vornor will be candi dates for Judgo of the 8th circuit at the expiration of Judgo Norton's term. The Latins had u maxim, "Item, quo ctinque rem," which, liberally t rans lated, might read, "Git there, in any ovent, git there." * * * There is nothing more admirable than tho adherence to principle and true democracy which has character ized tho "Old Guard" of Laurens county for the four years last past. * * ? The Cantts, of Spartanburg, tried fisticuff arguments last week on the young Floyds. Tho Guntts went to their corner with bloody nosos. Let it bo remembered; "The pen is mightier than the sword." * * * "And tho peoplo just now are follow ing the politicians." Precisely; ninety nino out of every hundred are politic iuns mid expecting soonor or later to havo office.

Mr. J. Fowler Park was boru in Lau fens county. 8. 0., near Rocky Spring church on tho 13th July, 1821, whero he gr?w up to manhood and spent his life as a diligent husbandrann. Ho was a good, quiet and useful cltlzon, a man of Integrity <loved and respected by his neighbors for his kind and un f>ro tending manners, was honored by lis church by boing called to sorvons ono of its deacons, which ofllco ho held and discharged most faithfully for moro than thirty years. Whon his county called for volunteers ho re sponded promptly to the call and tho LostCauso cannot boast of ono moro truo to tbecauso or inoro bravo in its defence. He went whon and whero duty culled him and showed no signs of fear. On tho evening of tho 8th of last May ho rotlred to rest innppnront health, but on tho morning of tho Oth, just as tho llrstdawu of day was to be seen, the mcssengor came to his couch and ere his nearest neighbors and friends could reach his bedside ho without a murmur laid down tho tonc meutof clay and passed on to his eter nal reward.

"An IntraMural View," a vory artis tic brochure, has boon roccived from Tho Curtis Publishing Company, Phil adelphia, publishers of Tlio Ladies' Home Journal. As tho title indicates, the booklet gives us glimpsos of tho interiors of the Journal's olllces, and some idea of thowork carried on there. The main building, entirely occupied by the editorial and business ollicos, was designed by Mr. Hardenbergh, tho architect of tho Hotel Waldorf, New York, and was completed in January, 1803. Tho exterior is attractive and the lltterioT elegantly appointed and admirably planned. The numerous il lustrations, showing the commodious and well-litted olllces, and tho accom panying text, giving us some insight into the work in tho different bureaus, requiring u force approximating four hundred employees. Indicate the won derful success which The Ladies' Home Journal has achieved in an almost in credibly short time., Tho lirst number was issued in December, 1883, so that less than eleven years havo olapsed sincu Mr. Curtis conceived the idea which has developed into so vast an enterprise. In this short tittle' its merit and steady improvement in all departments have received such recog nition that its circulation has reached the enormous average of about 700,0(10, tho largest magazine output in the world. The brochure also doscribes atctirao length tho work of printing and binding tho Journal, which Is car ried on in a separate building. "An Intra-Mural View" will bo sent to any ono who will address The Curtis Pub lishing Company, and inclose four cents in stamps for postage. PRAISE, ONLY, FROM ALI.
