LAUKENS, S. C. July 14, 1800. The Star of Empire* The Convention finished its work on Saturday after tho most remarka ble and noteworthy characteristics in the history of the great Democratic party. Bryan, a young Clay of the West, Nebraska, trans?Mississippi, is named by the silverites for our stand ard bearer. "Then charge where you see this white plume wave. Amid the ranks of war, And be your oriilamo this day, The standard of Navarre." So wall, of Malno, is named without much ado, for second placo. Bryan is a young man of about thirty six years, just old enough to qualify If elected, ha* served in tho Lower House, and made a groat reputation as an orator and is regarded, outsido his sil ver fetich a man of fine judgmont and statesmanlike qualities. He came, ho saw, he overcame, ho went to tho ros trum, opened his mouth, threw an at titude and tho great convention was his, swept as a prairie fire careers over the mighty plain. His craze Is silver?he believes 10 ounces of silver with the govornmont's superscription Is as good as un ounco of gold, and he bollovos it because ho wants it so and his terrible earnestness, was tho electric power that crushed all opposition. He believes in silver, and in his speech, gave a crushing blow to Tillman's populistlo idea of greenbacks, fiat money, and with a few words, sounding quick death to Till man's attack on Clcavoland. For Till man, by the way, tho eighteen votes of this State wero transferred from Co lumbia and recorded, Tillman not voting or voting for some other candi date ob tho first throw of tho ballots.? For Tillman, however, it must bo stated, that ho was in all tho councils of the leaders, his power rocognizod, and but for his popullstlc and extreme views, he would havo had Influence in tho great body. He failed in his speech and comes homo a sadder if not a wiser man. New York did not vote in tho ballot ing, unwilling to stand committed to the silvor craze. Can the kite fly?? Can the ticket win? Here is the situation: with Connecti cut gone to tho Republican New Eng land column, Now York, Now Jersey, and "My Maryland" added to tho great Republican phalanx?it was useless to look to tho East for a candidate The little States beyond tho Mississippi, with few electoral votes all mustered and in Uno with the South for silver wo must still necessarily looso. Bryan is oxpee'Le:. '.o hold tiu trans-Mlsslssippl States for silver and for t'n. groat val ley States, Ohio, Illinois, India...-. Wis consin Iowa, Michican. Some of those States must be added to the West and South to assure victory in November. What New York and the other East ern democracy will do, wo must wait to know. For the present The Ad vertiser follows tho democratic flag now flying and will fight it out as mat ters now stand?reserving always the right to onroll under a purer standard, should Hill and the East unfurl it? that is to say?offer something bettor --sounder democracy. * * ?* No Issues. There should bo no drawing tho lines in the present campaign upon dead and buried issues. Lot us havo peaco. Let Laurens be well roprescntod In tho C. H. offices by efficient, courteous, faith ful servants of tho people. The samo as to our representatives In tho General Assembly. We want our county repre sented by a strong delegation. Thoro is no reason why this should not be the case. Thoro is not an Issue before us but competency?and wo want ability to devise, shape and guide legislation and public policy. Again, there Is no issue boforo us that should divert us and well wishers of tho State from casting our votes for tho most compet ent men. There is now no question of reform; no legislation proposed upon which factions can arise. Nothing could be more absurd and ridiculous than to now make a tost upon Bon Tillman or Senator Irby in dotermlng tho qual ifications of candidates for Congress, Solicitor, State Senate, House Repre sentatives, county coronor or Treasu rer. Thoro is no possible sense In u factional fight. Only extremists will search nit tho dead linos of two yoars ago. They can only divert tho minds of voters from the truo issuo?the ques tion of competency, ability, fitness.? There should bo a unanimous pulling together as democrats looking In Na tional matters to tho success of true dfnnooraoy?in gtate and county to an Economical, honest administration of affairs. Come," now, and let us dwell togotbor In harmony, in State and county affairs. Certainly in national affairs if wo can with honor. *u* Pierce M. B. Young. The South loses a noble son In tho death of Gon. Pierce M. B. Young, who died on the sixth instant in New York. He had just roturned from Guatemala, where he was Minister, on sick loave. Oen. Young was born In Spartanburg county,* removed with his father to Georgia, whero he was roared, was educated at West Point, entered the Confederate army as a Lieutenant and rose through all the grados to be Ma j. Gen. of Cavalry. Since tho war he has been member of Congress, served abroad in the consular aervico and died a foreign minister. He was a most ac complished and true - gentleman and typical Southerner. Ho was distingu ished in the army for chivalric bearing, personal courage and dash. Ho was of that splendid school of ohevaliors, pe culiar to tho Southern armies, and will bo always nafned with. .Hampton, 8tow **, John Mof gan, Forest and Cal But illustrated all tho Our People. Chicago, B. It. Tinman was as signed as Chairman of the delegation; J. Gary Evans, vice chairman; Mo Sweeney was rocorAmonded as Honor ary Secrotary. B. R. Tillman repre sented the delegation on resolutions, (platform); Rules, W. D. Evans; Cre dentials, W. H. Ellerbe. B. h Tillman represents the State on the National Committee. MoSwoonoy is on the com mittee to notify tho Vice President nominoo of tho lightning stroke. Judge Earle and Gov. Evans are criticised for bel?g candidates while holding office. Gov. Evans suggests that Earle should resign and by the same token Evans should resign. But these gentlemen are hot candidates:" they are only soliciting votes at a democratic primary to make them candidates. Those who are successful at the primaries can bocomo candi dates. The primary signification of candidate ? "whlto" ? anelontly can didates appeared in public wearing white robes inviting scrutiny into their characters and holdfl|p^. them-, selves roady to answer am^^'stmni involving their intogrijjp laid trust worth noss. Jack's oloak of d&lriujefs is now tho popular habit. *** There is talk of calling off tho State oampaign for tho reason that tho meetings aro slimly attonded and the debate of such a low order as to cor rupt the listeners. Just wait, if you please, till they strike the Piedmont Belt. Wo aro all in for the olrcus, at a quarter per head, and will leavo our small boys at homo. Johnnlo Lowlow is as far as we could risk our shavers. Lot the band wagon and tho monagorio move forward. #** The wicked aro now asking if thoro is no Presidential vacancy In tho many State Colleges in South Caro lina. Impudent politicians suggested that Bon Tillman should come homo and build a University. Novor mind; all is well whon one is woll with his neighbors. Just wait till you hoar from tho "boys" in old Edgoflold. ? * After a reaplto of ten days tho State campaign oponod again yesterday with its siege guns. It will tax tho powors of endurance of Press and people to hold out for tho next six weeks. The only rollef Is tho versatilo Whitman.? Wo havo already bespoken thanks for Whitman. *?* In Sumter county whoro tho Con servative olemont is in tho majority no factional lines will bo drawn and can didates for ofllec will bo voted for, with reference to qualifications. Karle went to the Sumtev mooting yesterday. Evans would not bo able to reach?tho convention only adjourn ing on Saturday at Chicago. * * * It looks as if Tillman must find out how the pitchfork feels. Reading a book Won't tell you about your health. Ask your neighbor what he and his family took last Spring when they felt so miserable, so tired out. He will tell you Dr. CLARK JOHNSON'S INDIAN BLOOD SYRUP the standard family remedy for 30 years for Malaria, Chills and Fever, Lassitude, Scrofula, Rheumatism, and all Blood Dis eases.

I also believo a largo majority of tho voters in this State would ap^J provo such a law if they were con sulted in a proper way.

The wife pleads with her husband for a Piano or an Organ, which is tenfold more essential than the cigar and other luxuries in which lie indulges. The daughter asks father, or guardian, to buy an Instrument to enable her to cultivate that beautiful talent, music. Docs any sane man not rclizc this a reasonable right to plead and ask for? Reflect a minute! Think of the means expended for instruction, and the many tedious hours employed in practice by wife and daughter, and of their glowing anticipations subsequently to be realized. Now, father, husband, or guardian, are you going to blast all these bright anticipations by denying them of this merited right?simply the gift of a Piano or an Organ? Give your wives and daughters their merited rights in the home, which is "Woman's Kingdom," then she will cease to clamor for politi cal suffrage. Don't plead inability when such liberal terms and prices are available, My prices are right, terms ea?y, and quality of Instruments un surpassed.
