LAURENS, 8. C, Aug. 18, 1806.
The following in the cateoblsra of
questions to which the candidates for
county ofiloes aud members of the
?Benoral Assembly now canvassing the
county aro called upon to answor
categorically;
Have you voted for, or given your
?oral and actlvo support to tho regu
?r Democratic nominees at tho gen
eral elootlon from 1800 to 1804, In
clusive? Did you voto for Pope In
Did you voto for Evans, the
regular Democratic nominee?
Do you indorse tho present State Re
form Administration, and the logisla
lon enacted since 1800?
For whom will you vote for United
tales Senator at the approaching pri
mary election?
Are you in favor of the enforcement
of tho law enactod by tho Legislature
creating a Bank Examiner?
?*"Are you in favor of a strict enforce
ment of tho Dispensary law, as regards
nj?e Illegal trafflo in whiskey? *
IpAre you in favor of tbo Metropolitan
Folloe Bill and of its enforcement
^whenover nocossary?
* Are you in favor of expending any
Jiortion whatever of the free school
und for any other purpose than in the
support of the common froe schools of
the county?
It is prepared by tho rod hot reform
ers probably who roason that an aspir
ant's fitness is fixed not by what he is
now?but what he has been?not upon
Integrity, compotoncy and ability but
by submission to party shackles?a tal
ent for saorifioing his political soul to
factional expedlenoy. What wo want is
integrity and competency for tho coun
ty offices?ability to formulate legisla
tion for tho good of the pooplo?brav
ery and honesty to stand by men nnd
measures regardless of factional af
filiation. Give us honest brave truo
Democrats.
As to the 1st question: Ho may or ho
may not; he may havo boon a resident
of Ireland; the point is?is the man now
an able, true Democrat, and honest
man, unsuspected of rascality, un
tainted by insinuation, chargo or
suspicion. "As for 'old Pope" as somo
?'?nes rendered?ho was a coat-tail
swinger of swingors?tho most violont
Reformer in tne Stute; had shared Re
form "pap" for yoars, but when he
wanted to bo Governor, and Ellerbo
and Evans wore proposed, ho flunked,
sulked, and lator, wont over body and
soul to tho Republicans. Tlllman had
no further use for him and he skedad
dled to look further for pap. His
brothers who wore continued in office
stuck and stick. Those who voted for
him mado the same blunder that the
Reformers did who put him on the
country. Ho declared himself a pro
teotlonist, therefore a Republican.
Tillman was a protectionist till he
touched the hem of Bryan's garment
and abandoned it. We want no more
of Pope.
No. 2. It ia a cyclopedia of matter,
much of it vicious, somo of it good.
The good is endorsed; the bad should
be repudiated. Much of it is experi
mental, as with all legislation, and
time is tho only tost.
No. 3. Of course for tho man choson
at tho primaries; but all three of tho
candidates ground into ono can't make
a renaler. Tho General Assembly
should have the whole Stato to choose
from, unshackled. Tho primary for
United States Senator is a bad mistake
?the old plan the boat, holding the
representatives responsible to tho peo
plo. Ours is a represontativo govern
ment, not a pure democracy. Tho
Stato is led away from her ancient
landmarks. Hayne or Calhoun nolthor
could havo beon sleeted under such-a
system. Any mouthy blathorsklte
lawyer or cross-roads demagogue could
havo beaten them. Senators aro cho
sen every six years so that thoy may
be removed from popular clamor.
Walt a few years until light comes
with socialism and nihilism from the
monster West?the west now pushing
and crowding with tho dangerous isms
of the old world?tho rofuse of tho old
monarchies.
Tho bank examiner. This officer Is
to examine tho Stato Banks only,
whioh are not banks of issue. Tho ex
pense will fall on tho banks, and there
fore on tho monoy borrowor. Tho
examiner will catoh up with a thief
after the robbery. It is only giving to
the Administration tho appointment
to a fat place, and giving so much
power to an Administration is endan
gering tho people's liberties. Besides,
tho officers of a bank aro usually, if
rascals, plenty able to fool tho exami
nor, and if the oxaminer is a rascal, ho
. can be bought. It is, however, of
doubt fuj expediency. Tho Federal
Government alono suppllos our monoy,
through its machinery, and all domo
orats,"pposo tho Govornmont having
^uu^hing to do with tho business.
\^m! Let tho oxperimont of tho dispon
Htry go on. After awhile it will stink
(pfn the nostrils of the peoplo, as undem
ocratic; as giving tho managers of the
thing inordinate power, as oroating a
filthy ring?aa extremely corrupting?
as a monstrous monopoly by the state.
Better havo prohibition?anything.
0. As long as this dispensary busi
ness is persisted in, it may bo necessa
ry. A metropolitan system destroys
local self-govornment, and any system
that necessitates it is vicious, unre
publican, undemocratic.
7. No. Let tho money levied for
? schools go to support the schools, with
out diversion.
No; We are wild as rabbits with new
theories of government. Our "dad
dies" knew something and had a simple
government. Put men in offlco that
you have sufficiently observed to be
satisfied of themMfcttflcations: 1. Men
of ability to discharge the duties of the
particular office. 2. Democrats, anti
protectionists, who bollovo and swear
by as little governing as possible; who
wont fow offices arnL^w appointment*
by the ppwoi ji that flfcwho belong to

Tub Advertiser hoars a rumor
from Charleston, which sooms to have
somo basis in fact, that a deal has been
arranged by which a large number of
Charleston Antl-Tilluianltes are to
vote for Evans for the Senate. It is
stated that Evans has promised that
Charleston shall have beer privileges
or special saloons or that the dispen
sary law will be in somo way modified
to permit Charlestonians to get a "wee
nippy" without paying the exorbitant
dispensary prices. There is a class of
Charlestonians who are specially fond
of a glass and Governor Evans has
probably found out that there is still a
way open to obtain the Charleston vote,
?or somo of it. It is notorious that
Evans' metropolitan scheme has proven
a dismal failure, and, Indeed, it is
hinted at least that the Governor is
himself opposed to a vigorous enforce
ment of the liquor law in the City by
the Sea. At any rate, the statement of
a dispensary official, Mr. Yates, has
recently appeared in several newspa
pers that as much liquor is sold in
Charleston now as was sold before tho
Governor took charge of the police and
it has not been denied, so far as we
havo nenn. It is said that any man
who wears good olothos oan buy a
drink almost anywhero in Charleston.
The Charlestonians complain bit
terly of being proseoutod by Governor
Evans but it is true all the samo that
Governor Evaus has loft it much easier
Uh a Oharlestonlan to get a drink
than for his so-called "wool hat"
friends in the country. And the
Charleston Ian purchases at a more rea
sonable price. But there are somo
who say Charleston can nevor be
pleased. "Equal rights to all" has
a very pretty sound but Governor
Evans will not bo blamod for extend
ing "special privileges" to the boor
and whlskoy consumers of Charleston
when an election for the Sonate Is
about to take placo. Meanwhllo pro
fits of tho dispensary may como out of
tho country boys.
If only those who can moot tho test
implied in tho cateohism of questions
bolng submitted to candidates for office
In this county can bo voted for by Dem
ocrats thon the peace and harmony Mr.
Ellorbe Implores in his speeches will
hardly bo realized. Now is tho time to
secure harmony by ignoring factional
lines and voting for men of merit and
fitness.

Whereas, the manufacturers of
cotton ties havo combined and
have advanced the price of their
goods 05 per centum, while in
the prico of the orudo material
there has been an advance of only

MEV, 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 father, 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 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.
