BALL, Proprietor. 1-AUKENS, S. C. Nov. 12. 1895. The Democratic Slump. Last Tuesday's oleotlons aro very stunning to tho domooratic organlza i^&luuQ \ it will have a hard time to get steady oh its legs for tho battle royal Of '96. There has boon division in the democratic ranks all around and no body will be surprised Jf many shod tears over last Tuesday's catastrophe. Wo are to blamo. Thero should be no division in a party's policy or ranks Its platform should bo so plain and simple that one might run and road, and understand. Then, those who stund with one foot on and tho other off, could be shirked aside aud thero could bo neither doubting nor dividing. Wo have had a fair opportunity. The ex piring democratic congress did the business and so the party is expiring and in its last throes. Cleaveland and Wilson with the other cabinet officers are about all that Is left of tho party. Nobody knows who Is who, or what Is what. To come nearor home: thero Is no knowing if Tillman is with Marlon Butler and tho North Carolina popu list, republican nogro aggregation or not; thero is no guessing whore Liv ingston, of Goorgla, Bacon tholr newly elected Senator, and tho politicians of Alabama, Mississippi and Toxas aro "at." The country can't understand us and the country ropudlatos us. So tho dose at our noso looks fearfully liko "four more years" of Bennlo Harri son, John Sherman and perhaps worso. Wo still feel that our great loaders here In South Carolina, ought by their vehement oloquenoe, and herculean _loglo to have convinced and carried . u^ttuntry. It appoars now that we 8 itb. ^,??*n *n t^me to sympathize ^ifc^^gjo present array of Federal of ficolR?ers. Tho next Congross bei ?ig ?verwhermlugly, .repuWieaa- our only hope Is in their shocking the country this winter and spring with crimes and blunders. Unfortunately it is tho democratic party that can bo relied, on for blunders. * * * In tho Convention* In tho passages botweon delogato Barker ,of Charleston, and delegate Bellinger, of Barnwell, those who road the debate will sympathise with Mr. Bellinger. Sympathy is one of the noble emotions of the human breast. "We can only regret that Mr. Bellinger will have time and occasion to regret, that in his argumont, ho did not have Charleston in mind. If he had not, then his argument had no point?he was apparently slashing the unsubstan tial air. He could not have had Orangeburg or Barnwell In view. It Is unfortunate that the dispensary red flag was injeotod into any debate.? Nevertheless, It appears that you can't keep partlzanship out of a body over whelmingly partlzan. Thero will and must bo microbos as statesmen?this is the eraof microbes. A statesmanship, or want of statesmanship, that inaugu rates centralism, monopoly and sump tuary laws, as tho policy of tho State, has alroady staobed liberty to death.? and it cannot live. When tho curso has como homo to our children, so graphically portrayo 1 by Barker: when in their madness thoy reflect up on, tile rights tholr fathors enjoyed, the revulsion may como, and tho god dess bo restored to her pedestal, and set up pure and fair, in all our groves and high places. The country will applaud Maj. Bar ker for his noble utterance, and oxtend the heartiest sympathy to tho other gentleman in the regrets which he must needs experience. In every litter thero is usually weakling, sometimes called a runt these when nursing aro usually shoved aside and rarely attain hearty, full Stature. Of tho ono hundred and sixty members of tho convention about thirty were elected as half-bred conservatives or mugwumps and about ten as thor oughbred conservatives. Up to this - time. these dozen havo been cajoled, with the idea that a constitution, fal to all tho white peoplo of the State at least, would be framod, and with pa trlotlo zeal they havo labored until this hour in framing a fair and liberal or ganlc instrument. Tho roport of tho committee on suffrago provided that the board of three supervisors of regis tration should consist of two of one par ty and the third of the opposing party in the preceding State general elections. These were considered to bo reform ers and conservatives. On tho night of the 4th a motion was made to kill this provision and it was carriod with a hip, hip, hurrah, Tillman, B. R., vot ing "no," but his nogative was so mild mannered, as to amount to an afflirma tlve sane,lion. Tillman could havo hold up the victim's head a little and admin istered a mild toddy or slight tonlo in the form of a few vigorous sontencos with the usual scowl, but ho loft the prostrate form to dio, without oven a gentle laying on of hands or tondorly dosing its eyes. Vorily, "what fools we mortals be." Nodoubt, nodoubt. All tho managors, commissioners and coun ty and Stato convasscrs aro to bo of tho samo kottlo of fish. The Govornor can porpotuato himself and friends in office to the crack of doom. It was but recently tho Advertiser animadverted upon so many -'inno cents" being abroad in the land; It was right then; eminently right; now anoth er gudgeon has swollowod tho bait and must be added to the strintr; tho Ad vertiser has beon made a fool of, and "motley is tho only wear." Tho dry fall has had Its natural of feot. According to tho roport of tho Grand Jury for Anderson county whis key seized and doposlted in the Sher iff's office under the Dispensary law evaporated, and thoy thereforo recom mended that it bo sent to the dampor atmosphere of Columbia, The Stale Fair. iy our great exhibition opens in Columbia?Pair week?and we trust the majority of our fellow citizens, youug and old, can have a day off and a good big time at the fair, -'seeing all that Is thete." Messrs. Chapman, of Falrvlew, Peden of Gray Court md Jack Brown of our city, went down on Friday last with a car load of noblo speolmens of Laurons horses. Col. J. W. Watts and Col. J. H Wharton em barked splendid exhibits at Monnt ville. ?*? S? A* Ii. Tho Sea Board Air Lino is doing a heroic work in aid of the development of the South and particularly tho Piedmont regions of North and South Carolina. Thoy havo issued a conven ient pamphlet descriptive of tho ro glons traversed by their system, cov ering Its varied products and attrac tions. Of these also thoy have a splon - did exhibit at Atlanta. The pamphlet is a valuable sourvenlr. * * The News and Courier prints a roll by counties of young ladies attonding tho Winthrop Industrial and Normal Stato Schoo!, Laurons boing credited with the following: Laurons?Salllo Copeland, Mary ITol lams, Arva Honry, music; Lizzie Hun ter, senior normal; Allene Shell, Emily Smith, Irene Teague. Ella Berta Tur ner, Rosa Wham, music. Wo would bo ploasod to see the Lau rons roll groatly enlarged. It Is further stated: Each pupil Is obliged to take ono of tho industrial branches. Many take more than ono. Tho enrollment In these departments is as follows: Dressmak ing, 130; cooking, 40, stenography, and typewriting, 50; bookkeeping, 35; art, 15. In the music dopartmont there arc 103. Music Is all right and has wonderful charms, indeed, and dross doos mako tho man often and perhaps tho woman too, but dyspeptics would liko to sec the list of "cooks" a little swelled. If the girls moan marriage and expect to live happily with tholr lords, they should know that tho way to their hearts is through tho digestlvo appa ratus. * , *** A valued exchange says: Mr. Hen derson, of Berkley, was right whon ho said, "tho negroes are learning to road and write fastor than tho whites."? This we do not believe. It Is easy enough to make assertions. It may be true of Berkley; wo do not know the white population of Berkley oxcept by thoir representatives, as Mr, Hender son* It is not the fact of Laurons and it will not bo the fact in tho future.? Illitoraoy among whites ought to cut no figure In tho political factorage of this Stato. It is disgusting to listen to tho blatant gush of the demagogue about Anglo-Saxon superiority, In ono breath, and in tho next, to tho bugaboo of his annihilation by a confessed in ferior race. By the proclamation of President Oleaveland the 28th of this month has been fixed as a day of national thanks giving and prayer. Proclamations by all the Chief Magistrates of States will probably follow, adopting that day.? With overflowing plenty? exemption from pestilonco, war, or other calam ity, sixty five millions of people havo overy occasion to recognizo a beno fi cont overruling Providence aud to of for tholr heartfelt thanks. * ? ? Mr. Henderson, of Berkloy, said fair elections wouldn't suit his county. If started thero the whito men wore "gone sure." Thero are soino people who it is not always safe to trust away from tho house?at loast beyond tho spring. What was tho matter with Hardin of tho Blue Grass Stato? He was a free silverito and therefore not regarded a democrat. It is tho first time the Republicans have dofoated tho Democracy in old Kentucky, as thoy say in Edgofiold. ?*# Delegate Smith is reported to have mado a strong speech against tho suf frage plan proposed by the committeo ?disfavoring the property and educa tional qualifications. m # # What has becomo of cx-candidato Tillman's candidatal phrase?"so to speak ?"
