me of tfto
'*????One of me blazing, burning, corrod
ing questions of the hour is that of con
stituting new counties. Many smart
and pushing towns in thoStato want to
have a court house and a court crier:
"Oh, yoz! Oh, yez," and so forth. Ours
is tho smallest Slate territorially south
of Mason and Dixon,_ although a big
fooling Stuto. This "is all fright pro
vided she don't got too largo .for hot-?.
She oan't conveniently hold as many
counties as Goorgla or North Carolina.
But there are somo largo counties, as
Edgoflold, Abbovillo, Spartanburg,
Orangeburg, Colleton; with tho area
reduced, it may be practicable to ero
ate now counties out of thoso to the
convenience and betterment of tho peo
ple. In tho eastern part of tho State tho
counties are all small and ought not to
be tampered with. In tho wost, Lau
rons, Nowborry, Union, Greenvlllo,
Lexington, Oconoo, and Pickons, have
not too much territory. Very few peoplo
?" Indeed are otttsido of seventeen miles
from a court bouse in any of thoso
counties. Resides, railroad conven
iences aro all around and tho court
house is ten-fold moro accosslblo to tho
people than twonty years ago.
Tho writor lived at Laurons court
house fifty yoars ago and tho court
house did not mako it a town?.150 pco
^^to. whlto and black, making up tho
^^^rporatlon. Tho writor was at a Caro
lina court house ton yoars ago and tho
court houso and the jail with a cottogo
?^nvtwo for the court officers and a black
ItJtmado up tho city. Railroads,
MH^^^fSxi^ories and hundreds of in
""dustrles motto towns and flourishing
oitles. Evontho county officers noed
not resldo at th^TjOuTt Tiouso and marly
do not. Every ambitious town in the
Stato can't havo so dignified a porson
age as a court crier. Tho big counties
wo named might bo sub-divided, but a
general cutting and slashing among
tho counties of tho Stato is not desira
ble. Wo think a good county can bo
had over tho Enoreo with our good
neighbor Woodruff as county seat with
out an inch of Laurens dirt. Wo will
send them a car load of Laurens clay
to salt their snowy sands with and give
them savour.
The Convention has decided that tho
term of tho Governor under tho con
stitution now building lb hall bo two
years, as against four. a majority of
the conservatives votod two, as more
agrooablo to democratic doctrine than
four. The argument for four yeurs was
silly sometimes, but it is not every
reader that will oxpect every member
of that convention to bo a Solomon.?
Such is not the case by odds. It was
urged that it is a law of custom that a
Governor shall now havo two terms,
which is equal to a four years term.?
Thoro is no such custom although it has
so happened since '76 except in tho caso
of Governor Hogood who was too mod
est to take a second term and believed
in what is called rotation in office Tho
convention has settled the matter woll
to makeJ-bo term two years. Of course
.the^^l M&y out. qJ Stato Ilouso ofil
two terms of two, four
yoars Whoovor hoard of an
offlce-holdor, county or Stato who vol
untarily rotired, having bad enough ?
Tho cry is still for "morj, moro, moro."
Thon, it is well sottlod, at a two years
term, leaving tho peoplo to put a man
In again if ho is found to be tho right
man for tho place. Tho same reasoning
applies to other officers, county and
State. It is mere foldorol that tho peo
ple got tired of elections. The fact Is
that an off year is a dead failure at the
Sou ti\. Voting is elegant fun and oven
tho now woman is now moving hoavon
and earth to got Into the swim. Ta-ta-ta.
Susan B. Anthony is "on her oar
mtor Irby would sav about the
Massachusetts referendum plan of de
ciding tho question of woman suffrage.
She says that tho question raised by
tho Logi8laturo was really ovasivo, and
tho idoa of gaining tho privilego of
themselves deciding whothor or not
they dOslred sufTrago had never oc
curred before to hor knowledge. "But
then," she said, "ono may expect noth
ing hotter from Masschusotts anyway.
It is only a ponny and a half Stato.?
The Idea of docidlng tho great suffrage
cause in that way is simply a makeshift
of tho Legi8laturoand away of getting
around it. The stiffrago womon look
upon it as a direct insult to them and
foel very blttorly about it. Tho ques
tion is not whothor tho majority of wo
men want it, but.whothor it is a ques
tion of citizenship, which must oither
bo right or all wrong. Wo did not
care*for a vote on municipal suffrage,
" but perhaps that is bottor than nothing
at a'i."?News and Courier.
'?Jingoism" is a w.rd of recont
growth of English origin and signifies
greed for a fight. It comes from tho
eong:
!'We do not want to fight, but, by
Jingo, if wo do,
Wo havo tho ships, wo havo tho men,
And wo havo tho money, too."
It is coming into play with roforenco
to our rolations with Spain and tho ex
ploitations of tho recent Chicago Con
vention givo tho now word proecnt
relish. Tho Atlanta Constitution
hints that wo have tho stuff to oxclto
the avidity of marauders and wo havo
tho men, but that guns and amunition
are scarce. So water is a comfortable
expedlont in caso of flro.
Miss Consuelo Vandorbilt will marry
an English Lord and tho lady becomes
ft Duchess. Sho carrios with hor ten
I millions and tho country will bo lucky
L If a bond issue don't follow her.
The Convention.
Not much has been settled. There
is too much talk. Thero aro a few mein
tiers who have talked the General
Statutes to overflowing. The Laurens
delegation have kept wise tongues in
their head*. Senator Tillman occa
sionally reminds the gentlemen of how
it is in "jorgy."
Hereafter the Legislature >s to sit in
January and not longer than forty
days. Thoy aro to have $4.00 per diom
to fast upon.
There is a strong flavor of puritanism
in the body, the members bavin < a
tincturo 61 Connecticut Blue Laws in
their talk. .
The Dispensary excites interest.?
The prohibitionists want prohibition
or the dispensary and tho dispensers
want the dispensary or prohibition.?
The80 things curiously aro noithor kin
by blood nor affinity. Tho dispensary
has mado a drinking plaeo of every
avonuo, highway, alloy or cranny in its
neighborhood. If tho dispensary is to
stand it should have as an adjunet an
elegant and most comfortablo bar
whore the chemically pure could bo
taken as Falstaff took his sack. Bc
sldos tho olfactoriesof the prohibition
ists should bo respected; wheroas tho
whole surrounding atmosphoro Is now
tainted with whiskey. And as by the
election of '92 tho prohibitionists were
so ovorwholmingly in the majority,
thoy should be tendorly rogardod. It
will tako two weeks or more to do the
job. Throo woeks havo been absorbed
by tho Solons.
? *?
Sparring.
In tho convention on Thursday last
thero was discussion on municipal pow
ors participated between about ono
hundred and sixty of tho body.?
Sometimes all wanted to talk at onco
and tho Prosidont was called on to
hammer with his gavel. Of courso
there wore big dogs and little dogs
all barking at onco now and thon. But
it does not follow that any perinanont
break will follow. Noithor will it holp
tho cause, to play tho 6mall boy and
sick thorn On. When the big cogs
fight tho fico somotimos run off with tho
bones, but tho big fight over, tho big
mastiffs usually compromise and re
cover the marrow.
Extraordinary.
Gov. Culborson, of Texas, has order
ed tbo Legislature of that State con
vonod in extraordinary session to stop
by legislation tho fight between Jim
Corbett and Bob Fitzslramons. It is a
blunder. Better to havo allowed the
two bruisers to hammer each other. ?
An extra sossion will cost onough to
sot up colleges and tho thing could bo
remldied at tho regular sossion. Evon
if tho fight should be pulled off only
tho toughs would attend and that cluss
can't bo demoralized. Besldos, many
readers outsldo the State would pro
bably not skip the account of tho bat
tle.
In answer to Dr. Aikon's card it is
sufileiont to say that, no such discrim
ination exists in Laurens as was sug
gested by tho learned Solon of Flor
ence. Rich and poor all havo tho samo
license and use tho samo license and
pay tho samo license and now and then
go it on their own hook without li
cense Tho suggestion of tho large
sum in the gcntloman's reference cer
talnly had reference to his own envir
onment. However, It is moro likely
tho reporters wore at fault and con
founded Laurens with Florence
A learned dologatein tho convention
instanced "as in Laurens where a man
worth $150,000 paid as much (for his li
cense) as a man without a cent." What
did tho great commoner refor to?
Tho Columbia Register declares
that tho Hon. George Johnstono has
done a big share of tho talking in tho
convention. Very truo; but as a rule it
has been very sensible talk.

Harris Lithia Water.
The most remarkable Water on the Market to-day which is
Shown by its Analysis and Testimonials of the Most
Noted Physicians of the Country.
Read what a prominent merchant of Columbia, S. C, has to say for
Harris Lithia Water.
"I had long been affected with kidney troubles. I had tried all the
mineral waters from Saratoga to Porter Springs. I had tried the
Western waters and all others that 1 could hear of, and I have no hesi
tancy in saying that none have benefited me even approximately as
much as the Harris Lithia Water. I was using the Buffalo Lithia Water
when I heard of this. I do not expect to use the Buffalo Water again.
"When I went to Harris Lithia Springs, ] had to be assisted out of
my chair. After remaining two weeks 1 could get about as'good as
anybody. It acted on mo like a charm?cpiickly and eftectively". This
water is now being largely sold in Columbia, and I think every person
who has tried it will agree with nie in the belief that it is the most re
markable water in the country. From a simple interest in suffering hu
manity, I would like very much to see it given a trial.
C. A. BALDWIN, Columbia, S. C.
Harris Lithia Water Co., Harris Springs, S. C.
Asiieville, N. C, September, ?, 1893.
Mr. J. T. Harris:
Wc have been selling the Harris Lithia Water for sonic time, and
lind it a ready seller; those who have tried it arc loud in its praise. The
doctors here regard it superior to either the Buffalo or Londonderry
Waters. We predict for it a wonderful sale when the merits become
more generally known.
Yours very truly, RAYSOR & SMITH,
Prescription Druggist,
PjlOSPBRITY, S. C. Feb. 2S, 18(14.
Mr. I. T. Harris:
I have been under the treatment of several physicians and been to
different watering places during the last ten years for kidney disease. It
afibrds me pleasure to say that I have received more benefit from thp
use of Han is Lithia Water than all remedies combined.
Respectfully,
