As We See the Situation.
The sun risen higher in the heavens
.and the ides of May will assuredly
come. Tillman knows that in the
Demoeratio organization he is a feath
er weight. He takes the chances and
therefore wrote his letter to Bold,
leaving the way open to the Populist's
party, a silver party or any other party
to bo hatohed from tho acoldonts of the
next four months. A tame submission
to the conservative non-revolutionary
poiloy of a steady going old fashioned
democratic machine, will stultify his
past, blast the expectations ho has
raised the dream of his future and tho
hope of his following.
What will he do? Ho will go to the
State Demooratio Conventiou from old
Edgefleld. He will havo the pro
gramme ? tho resolutions in his
breeches pockot?ho will movo thorn
And they will go to tho committee of
thirty-six, one from oach county. All
Others will be referred to this commit
tee without debate. Till man's resolu
tions will be reported; a minority will
report a substitute proposing instruc
tions to stand by tho Chicago platform;
it will promptly go to the table; die; and
Tillman and a Tillman delegation go
to Ohicago uninstructod with tho fate
of the Democratic party of South Caro
lina in their pookots. There are four
months however for tho Democratic
leaders to formulate a policy and get
together as a party. Tn this contin
gency the party in this State may hold
together, otherwise to atoms and tho
winds it goes. If the Chicago platform
adopts silver, Tillman sticks; if it
straddles he may stick; it is more pro
bable howovor that he will see nothing
for Tillman in tho old staid ranks and
over the fence ho goes. As goes tho
bell weather so goes tho flook and
South Carolina is no longor in the
democratic column. In that caso tho
Simon pure democrats will organize,
but will bo unable to savo tho vote for
the Chicago ticket. Thus far wo proph
esy and no farther. All will conclude
that the steadfast, steady, unconquera
ble but passive unaggressivo and help
less conservatives (socalled) are and
will not be responsible.
? *
Not Materializing.
One argument for a Constitutional
Convention was tho promise of all
white people In South Carolina
getting together. One comment af
ter the rising of that body was that
euch had been the result. Tho fact
however appears to bo that tho
only eggs that hatched towards tho
verification of tho promise were a few
mugwumps here and there, in Charles
ton, Columbia, Greenville, Abbeville,
and old Edgefleld might bo included.
Now after all it appears we are to havo
a bitter campaign in the State with as
much savagery and bitterness as has
divided our people during the last five
years. This is the conclusion of the
whole matter as tho political weather
flags indicato at this writing. Tho
philosophy of tho whole thing lies in
the fact that there aro fow heroes, few
that are anxious to sacrifice their po
litical hopes and prospects on the altar
of their country for peace and harmony
sake. Fortunately tho Indications now
are that there will be little animosity
growing out of the contest for county
offices and the warring elements will
be contestants for the high places as
Governor, State offices, Senators and
members of Congress.
Ihere has been some recent com
ment upon the pronunciation of tho
word "clerk" by officials of our House
Of Representatives and Judges of our
Supreme and Circuit Courts. They are
charged with pronouncing "clerk"
"dark"?as, "will tho clark do so and
so," "tho clark will call the roll." It is
further stated that it was che rule with
the ante-Tiollum Judges, Speakers and
other presiding officers. The assortlon
is in the category of allegations fre
quently made, with llttlo or no ovi
denoe to support them. A like state
ment is made with reference to tho
pronunciation of "either and neither"
as "ither and nlthor" under the old
regime. In both instances the allega
tion is untrue in faot. Just as now,
these pronunciations were regarded as
fantastic, pure affectations, and when
ever Indulged, furnished occasion for
observation and criticism. Nobody
ever hoard Harper, O'Neal, Wardlaw,
MoDuffiow Orr speak of tho "Clark"
of the Colkt This prpnuncHtlc.i was
the exnWnion. regarded an affectation
noJg#wsay tho affectation of small mon.
??rift this State, while not conclusive, it
has always been held as prima facia of
dimlnutlveness, putting the burden of
proof on the other side. It is safo to
say that those gentlemen who aro now
. remarked for their pronunciation of
the words noted will bo hereafter re
membered for little or nothing else.?
As matter of fact these little manner
isms of pronunciation are -usually loft
to men of smaller mould, just as a gon
/ tleman's man servant is oxpocted to be
more nearly point-de-vice and up to
date in the matter of oravats than his
master.

The Trustees of Clerason held their
meeting during last week. Senator
Tillman attended from Washington.
The study of the French and German
Languages was abolished, greater at
tention to be given to the English.
This was a mistake. CTemson, it is
true, is primarily, to instruot in Agri
culture and the mechanical arts; yet
the men to come out of Olemson should
be fitted to enter other fields than cot
ton and corn fields. Many of them by
force of intellect and general charac
ter will bo worthy of ministerial and
consular appointments and will bo
hrndloapped for life by want of a
knowledge of foreign tongues. French
or German or both Bhould be taught in
every academy. English, of course,
should not bo ignored; but with the ed
ucational advantages now o very where
afforded it should not bo long when
English pure and undefiled should be
caught up at every fireside.

Ben Tillman is tho center of tho
whole system. Everything revolves
around Benjamin?or has to this sec
ond?but there appears to bo some
hysterics among the small political
planets at this junoture. Some aro in
apogee, some in perigee and some
In opposition and in danger of
imminent collision. But thore is
no great reason for alarm. Tho law
of gravitation throughout the material
world and worlds, holds to the weight
of a hair. Thero nood be no appro
hension. Comots nor earthquakes as
yet have disturbed the harmonious
movoments of tho thousands lessor
sphores. Benjamin is still the center
around which the aerolite of three in
ches diameter revolves. The sun gov
erns. You may watch any littlo moon
and planot by her phases, but there is
no germination excopt by tho rays of
Bonjamin?the milky way?the myriad
little nameless stars shine by reflected
light. Obey the injunction of Green

In combination, proportion and
process Hood's Sarsaparilla is peculiar
to itself, and unequalled in true merit.
No other medicine ever possessed so
much curative power, or reached such
enormous sales, or made such won
derful cures, as Hood's Sarsaparilla.
It is undoubtedly the best medicine
ever mado to purify, vitalize and cn
rioh tho blood.
That is tho secret of its success.
ltcad this statement:
" When my son was 7 years of age, he
had rheumatic (ever and acute rheuraa
tlsm, which settled in hia left hip. He
was so sick that no one thought there was
any help for him. Five sores broke out
on his thigh, which the doctor said were
Scrofula
sores. Wo had three different doctors.
Pieces of bone camo out of the sores. The
last doctor said the leg would have to be
cut open and tho bone scraped, before ho
could got well. Howard>became so low
that he would eat notching, and ono doc
tor Bald thero wob no chance for him.
"One day, a newspaper recommending
Hood's Sarsaparilla was loft St our door.
We decided to try this medicine. Howard
commenced taking it tho laot of February,
after having been sick for a year and a

half. Ho hadn't taken it a week beforo I
saw that his appetite began to improve,
and then he gained rapidly. I gavo him
five bottles, whon the uorcs wcro nil hoaled
and they nevor broko out agnin. Tho
crutches ho had used for tour yearn woro
laid aside, as he had no further uso for
