LAUKENS, S. C, July 28, 1890. Not long ago that notorious docu ment, tho Sholl manifesto appoarod, the authorship of which was an flfiSped by Tue Advertiser as Tin 's. The Advertiser knew that [man was the only man In South larollna that could or would have writ ten tho paper. Tillman has since had the honesty to acknowledge the father hood. Ono of the predominantly promi nent principles proclaimed in the document is that of rotation in office.? Six yoars havo passed since the pro mulgation of that famous or infamous paper, according to taste. During these six years Tillman, Irby, Y. J. i'ope, Homphill, of Abbeville, Ellorbo, Norton, Tiumerman, Mixon, Cooper, McSwconoy, Barber, Ir? Jones, Harri son, Earle, Wiley Jones, Eugene Gary, Ernest Gary, H. L. Farley, J. Gary Watts, J. Gary Evans, and sorao hun dreds more and may be thousands have held the offices of the State notwlth , standing the dootrlne of the aforesaid "manifesto." These above named are they who, In all probability, aro in tended to bo covered Into tho family group so graphically depicted in the happy and euphoniously descriptive language of tho classic Whitman as "pap-suckers." If we understand the "Unapproachable and invaluable Whit man, he would have the doctrine of tho "manifesto" carried into practical operation and a rotation In office put into effect in his little rottonbor ough State of South Carolina. Wc havo been thinking seriously about it. Wo have turned it over and over, rovolved it, and resolved it, and now loavo tho conclusion of tho matter to our many discreet and considerate readers.? There is nothing like authority, tho views of wise men and sagos to bock up our opinions, and even Senator Tillman may need bolstering up in this doc trine'^! the "rotation in office," as urged in his now well known Sholl "manifesto." The reason for the doc trine may bo that money has a cor rupting tendency and after a spell, men conclude that the office belongs to them, they cease to be honest in office, and in plain English proceed to violate the 8th commandment. Now to the ancient authority. We quoto an old fellow called Aesopus, a Greek, who wrote about three thousand years ago ' on tho subject, and since that time ? men have not ohangod, and the lesson taught by this Aesopus is still put into tho hands of our youth for their in struction and example. A fox had been run down by hounds and badly handled, torn and lacerated, but man aged to make his escape, moro dead than alive. Taking refuge undor the shade of a friendly bough, a humane wolf found him covered with a groat [ swarm of Hies who were oargerly suck ing his blood, and begged to be allowed ,;; to drive them away. Whereupon, tho fox protested, saying, lot them alone; they are now full; their hunger satis fled, and if driven away, a now and hungrier swarm would fasten on him and he would not havo a drop of blood left. The lively reader will readily ap prehend, the dangerous doctrine of Senator Tillman in his Sholl manifesto. * * '?Oh that mine enemy had written a book." In the teeth of this exclama ' tlon, aged forty centuries, the youth ful Duncan, aspirant to U. S. Sena tor, writes an epistle to Senator Till man. The Senator soizes the oportu nlty with avidity and answers tho in nocent Dunoan. It was ono of tho Mac :beths who urged?"Duncan is in his grave." Tho Senator writes a lot tor endorsing Evans, his former as ^Goclate in tho Bond businoss?and takes occasion stoutly to endorse that gentleman. This, as this world now goes settles tho business. Duncan will likely inquire as ho arouses him to his lndentity?"whero am I at?"? Others in more ancient and home like phrase of the child-like Duncan will inquire?"Doos your mother know you nre out?" * * a Judge Earlo, who is canvassing for the United States Senate, is a man of imposing and dignified porte and pres ence. But it don't count in these times. Gov. Evans, another canvasser, ad dresses, describes and alludes to him as?"Sonny." It is "sit down, Sonny" ?"koep cool, Sonny"?retiro to Jeri cho, Sonny, until your hair grows.".? Thus it goes. The stylo of tho thing is amusing, stunning, but clearly np-to If wo had any interest in Earlo |}d advise him to "retire" to jirhtful shade where ambro ' bjow, and cool his ambro 'Oh for a retreat in some ioss," or someting like it? abouts. Newbold, a State whisky constable, accompanies tho Stato campaigners. These constables go armed and equip ped to kill, and "who got the commis sions" is supplemented with the ques tion, who is carrying around among the people these State gens de armes ? A walking, bloody minded magazine is a new feature of our Democratic club meetings. But, "the sun do move." ft *?# As tho HolPd&u proceeded at St. Leu Is South Carolina was set down as blank. Not a man or woma . but what had deserted Ooala and Tom Watson. Tillman, Stokes and tho rest have only the Free Silvor of George Tillman and Gen. Butler to stand on. Qov. Evans indulges the familiar style "boys" in addressing tho voters of tho State. We had thought the ! "boys" the special property < ididuto for tho Dei every man At St. Iionl*. The wild and wooly West indulged its wayward way during last week.? Th* Silverites had an easy time and promptly endorsed Bryan and Bewail. The Populists after a weeks struggle hatehc' out Tom Watson, of Georgia for second place and surmounted blm with Bryan. Thus the plot thickens, as Bryan cannot mate with Tom. There has been nothing like tboso aggrega tions and the wild oratory, save tho Colorado cyclones and JNobraeka prairie fires. Thero has been nothing to degrado munhood and decency, how-1 ever, comporablo to tho vulgar exhi bition at Florence. Wo are afraid that tho braggart, tho bully and tho vul garian, will bo located near homo. What's the Matter With Hannah 1 Mark Hannah played his cards with skill at St. Ijouis- His declarod pur pose was to mako tho Tariff tho issue of the campaign. But Bryan puts tho silvor oyolone going and it looks that tho tariff is alroady ewampod and will be no further heard of in tho tooth of tho Bryan hurricane ?% Anachronistic Tho papers continue to parado tho pictures of Bland and Tillman. They arc baok numbers?out of dato. * ? * "Como to think of It, oould any ser vice have beenTondorod broker Rhind other than to throw him into tho arms of Tillman and Bates, tho Bond Com missioners? We pause for reply. ? 7 ? Tho Charleston Post regards tho State and Spartanburg Horald as Sil ver Annoxes and says that Tillman could carry tho State for Gold if ho so chose. *?* For threo thousand years tho contest of the sovon cities for tho birth place of Homer has remained open. It re mains now to sattle who drew Earlo|s blood at Floronce. In tho "scrap" at fair Floronce Earlo losta wee drop of "claret." It was in doubt who struck tho stroke, but Kl?t id's Attorney claims that ho was the successful "bruiser." Our rofoi in frlonds aro i fond of the fashions of tho good old honest days of our "daddies." Tho champions at Flor ence shouUl have boen allowed to pro coed to a finish after tho old tlmo fash Ion. Tammany, it is announced, will sup port Bryan and his mate. But a little while ago the genteel (excuse the term) politicians were awfully scolding these breves. The Charleston Evening Post has steadily grown and enlarged under the editorial management of Mr. W. W. Ball. It is now an eight page paper. Editor Ball is one of the best editorial writers 'in the state, and the paper could not help growing under his management. He may be a little wrong on some things, but he argues his point well and always fairly, and what ever he writes is good reading. We wifah the Post great success, and wo believo it will attain unto it under the. management of our young and accomplished friend, W. W- Ball.?Newberry Herald and News. "Miss Oldunisone old maid who doesn't try to conceal her age. "Yes, but she knows it's no use." "Why?" "Her twin brother lives with her!" "She doesn't seem to have many friends."

Broad Street, Atlanta, Ga. MEN, who hold the purse strings, often deprive women of articles of inestimable value. 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 he indulges. The daughter asks lather, or guardian, to buy an Instrument to enable her to cultivate that beautiful talent, music. Docs any sane man not relize 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 reair/ed. Now, father, husband, or guardian, arc 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.
