LAUKENS, S..O., Oot. 13, 1896. Arthur Sewali, Chicago nominee for the Vice Presidency with W. J. Bryan, ?rite? a lettar and publishes it, ac cepting with thanks the compliment. n it he decently anathematises the ?rats, monopolists, trusts, corn ers and tho classeB who aro opposing ho masses. But Arthur is several imes a raillionalro himself, is classed rith the classes and has nothing in the rorld to do but broatho and median i ?1 appliances can be purchased to as ist even this process. The Irish have, time immemorial, eon ready to fight, and for a long ime the Galway code was in vogue Hnry man had to go out when at the pistol's point. Ourran, a lawyer and statesman had been "tho field of honor somo half dozen ??es, occasionally winging his man, nd having occasion for a Burgeon. It ' uln to a man's calling not to be oady to faco tho music when Invited, a tho English Parliament a white -vered Lord proposed to abolish tho Uello whon Curran ropliod, that it ould cost him annually $25,000, to ?te for thoBill; and that his Lordship Ith a ront roll of a quarter of a mil on could vote for it, and In the mean hile his honor and carcass would bo ifo. Now, Arthur Sewali, Is a muohly ilillonolro, and oan afford toexobango ireo or four millions for tho honor of Ding Vice-Prosldont with the Presl jncy a possibility. Gold or silver, awall sits in silver slippers. Indeed, Arthur Sewali were a philosopher, hloh Is but another word for a wlso tan, ho wouldn't oare a snap of the ngors whether free silver won or lost, r his six millions in gold are reduced > one-half their value, or fifty three mts on the dollar by the enactment 116 to 1, he will still be a multl-pluto rat, with not only tho good but the ast things in this world at his call on to touch of a button. It Is therefore ery natural and excusable that 'homas Watson, of Georgia, the Popu st candidate for tho Vice Presidency, rho has to subsist on tho miserably liserly incomo of some hundred balos f cotton derived from a few thousand ?eggarly act es should tear his hair uul denounce the Maine man for not retting out of the way and leavo the leid to the young Nebrascan and him lelf. As we gang along wo still advise >ur good readers of The Advertiser the gold?>* lessons of Benjamin Pranklip -^thatiho true secret lies in jtaKiug care of yourself and tho pen nies, and not to <*pond upon tho result of oloctions. Ftmklin toiled at the jhUmblest trado, t*t of a type setter, pTen published1 Por Richard's Alma Enao, then devoted>hls attontlon to Natural phllosophy.thon joined Wash ington's desperadoes and wound up by twisting the British Lyon's tail at Paris, where he signal the Immortal llpeaty of peace, clad'n a $1000 suit of velvet with a sword an! golden scab at his thigh, a bigger man than i the Presidents and tings, Wash n oxcopted. It all tamo from? e the pennies and the pounds will themselves." The price of cot and corn, as we believe, will still m upon tho law of demand und sup ply, no matter who is ProsUont and Wbioh party make tho laws. Our duty to voto tho democratic ticket and wait events. The Greenville city moetlng called gm tho 7th instant to ratify the nomina tion of Bryan and Sewali was very ap tropriato, as it Is tho first uttoranco Iweide of tho newspapers, in favor of? ho Chicago action, takon In this Itate. So it was better lato than never jjfl.jii will go out as encouraging news. W course tho vote of the State will ipd for Bryan, and no backbones will j eed bracing within those borders, but le notion noted will stiffen tho joints F friends doing yooman service among io heathen outsiders. But In case tho iryan Plume of white should wave In lumph over tho Whlto House on arch 4th 1897 then the rocord of tho roonvlllo doings and the porsonae ramltls will be interesting reading or weeks succeeding that historic day. n the meanwhile, as a general rule, he reoord Is the best evidence. # ? The State Board of Control sent a Ittee t0 8in-8hj-natl to invostlg our officials.

Somo of our (otemporarlos are omphathizlng that e wont in as a blatant Reformer.? kit this had nothing to do with it.? he point is io oleot and appoint to of ee good men without regard to fac (on. And in popular elections and aking appointments to office, here id there, we are bound to be cheated. The Newberry Herald and News imes Senator Goorgo Mower as a iltable person for Judge of this tho ih Judloiai Circuit and Bays that the ect'on comes off in January next be ire the incoming Legislature. Judge lownsond, of Union, is the.Incumbent. ? her Dutch have again oaptured dland, the Democrats have carried -ia and Florida and tho question here hAio at" comes home to Tom ifrwavtlta Resolutions Tho Advertiser Is rarely critical, al ways kiwi. The Greeaviile ratification meeting is a Big Whereas more than a column in length with a resolution aa inch long. When it comes to the Populist points in the Chicago platform the wheresses squint and. look the other way with a wry face, and should they reach tho eyes of Bryan, Sowall or Tom Watson, these gontlemen will be sure to wonder "where they are at.' The elongated whereas never reaches the Federal Court or greenback plank. Tho Greenvllltans, met for business, were in this quanderary: "We'll be damned if wo do. We'll be damned if we don't." **? ? Greenville Again. For handling a matter deftly give us a Greenville roan every crack. In the omnium gatherum wheroascs elongated at their ratification pow-wow they for got Cleaveland's outrageous invasion of State rights at Chicago. ? * ? There are eight candidates for Judge In the EightClrouit, composed of Ab beville, Anderson, Greenville,' Oconoo and Piokens Saul stood head and shoulders over all his countrymen and was easily seleoted King. With Eight Judicial Sauls looming abovo the horizon what a task the Legislators havo to make a choice And what giants we are producing in this ago of advancement and reform! # ? * Mixon goes by tho Board?of Con trol. ?** Bryans prospects aro brightening. ?*# Twenty one days and the tale is told. ?I have been studying this silver question myself,' said Mrs. Jilson, as sho looked up from the paper, with a gleam of intelligence that usually set Jilson on edge, says tho Washington Star. '1 am glad you have/ rematked Jilson. Hoping to avoid a political discussion ho asked: 'What are tho weather indications?' ?Never mind tho weather,' said Mrs. Jilson severely. 'Every time I want to talk to you about impor tant matters you try to turn the conversation on tho weather, base ball, or some other equally unim portant thing. Now, what I want to do is to convince you that you ought to be for silver and for Bryan and all the rest of it instead of belog a goldbug, and a McKin ley man.' 'Every other man I meet on tho street talks the same thing,' said Jilson desperately, 'and when I got home I would like to hear some thing else.' 'That is just like a man,' snid Mrs. Jilson, with emphasis. 'Lis tening to a lot of fool men all day long, who don't know anything but when you come homo you don't want to hear a little com mon Ksnae.' Jilson disappeared behind his newspaper, but it did no good. The paper was swept away by a deter mined hand. ?Now, you've got to listen to what I say, and I know when you have studied it carefully as I havo you will be for silver.' Jilson looked resigned. 'X have been figuring up ho v much our silver ware cost,' con tinued Mrs. Jilson. 'With my toilet silver, and all tho odds and ends, there must be near a thou sand dollars' worth. Well, if we have got a thonsand dollars worth now, when Bryan is elected with his i(5-to-l business ratio, as some of them call it, our silver will be worth about sixteen thousand dol lars. Now, you are not going to throw away all that money, uro you ?' 'If Bryan is elected I supposo you will havo the silver waro coined?' asked Jilson, freely. 'No, I'll just add $15,000 to tho value of it, and wo will be that much richer,' said Mrs. Jilson with complacency. Jilson said nothing, and Mrs. Jilson knew the had made a con vert to tho sllvor cause.

M, TURNER, General Southern Agent, - 41 N. Broad Street, Atlanta, Ga. MEN, who hohl 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 Instrhment 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 minuto! 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.
