Bererml of oar osehaagM are m»k
ing forecast! as to the next election
commenting on “ring lale,” “farm
eHscandidate” and “new deals.” As
long as the present form ot govern
ment stands and two or more great
political parties exist, there will
always be what the “oats” call a
ring. This ring, so called, ensures
the safety of the party daring the
time between elections, and when
the ring ceases, the party goes oat
of power. It was the Hampton ring
which defeated the Chamberlain
ring, nod it ia the State and Nation
al Democratic rings which placed
Cleveland in tbs Presidential chair
That there have been several errors
made by the “Colombia ring,” as
someof onr editors call it, ia true, bat
these mistakes will always happen,
and are made by the wisest and best
men. The trouble does not come
from these errors, bat from that
characteristic of many of mankind,
ambition, and an inordinate desire
for pablio honors. This desire is
commendable in as much as it acta
as a regulator ot I be conduct of those
who are Intrusted with the powers
of government, and so far is benefi
cial to a State; bat when this de
sire, clothing itself order the garb
of patriotism, nrges forward the
office-seeker touae any and all means
to seenre his ends, then it should be
eondemaed by all good people. We
very much fear that tbs tendency
M present ia to mistake the latter
phase of this desire, for lore of State
Much has been said of class legisla
tion, bat the tendency of some of
oar people is towards class legisla
tion in one of its worst forma. The
effort to fores the State to the
expense of a eensna, was the np-
coantry against the low-country
The “Agricultural Moses” boom is I
intended to array the farmers of
the State, as a class, against all oth
er trades and professions, and can
lead to no good. The new Moses is
said to be a hard working, soocess
ful farmer, bat we doabt If that fact
alone fits him for the office of Gov
ernor.
In some counties, the convention
or primary system is already being
discussed; in others legislative can
didates are si ready getting in their
work, and the fitness of certain
men for State offices is being moot
ed. All of this work at this early
data doss more barm than good. A
politieal campaign should be abort,
•harp and decisive. Oar people
have a long spring and summer of
hard work before them, and have
no time to waste on those who, in*
•tend of showing their patriotism
and love of their fellow-men by ad
ding their quota of honest toil to the
welfare of the State, are going about
seeking for office. We do not know
how it is in other counties, bat the
farmers of Darlington ean make
their erope and then have time to
take ears of their interests in the
Stats Government.
that Mr. Plowdeep h*»s raised a 600
lb. bog, than to read of a scandal;
suit in Omaha. The Qaxette baa
the correct idea, and if the editor
literally means to write articles on
cabbage culture, we will be pleased
to reprint them in our agricultural
department.
Gen. W. S Haucock died at his
residence on Governor’s. Island at
2.35 in the afternoon of February 9,
at the age of 62. Hisdea^h was the
result of a malignant carbuncle on
the back of his neck, w hich confin
ed him to his l*ed for several days.
No serious alarm was fell, however,
until shortly before be expired. He
is best known to most of onr read
ers as the Democratic candidate for
President in the campaign of 1880,
against Garfield. His funeral took
place at Norristown, Pa., on Satur
day.
Irt What It lr
(W»lhalls Courier.)
Bow few |>eople seem to know,
says tbe Berkeley Oatetie, wbat it
costa to “run” a newspaper,
This
Cabbages, Leas PalKtm
M lf tbe editors o( some of onr ex
changes would devote more time
and talent to nrtiolea on cabbage
ealture, and k as on editorials on
on tbe Presidential aueoeasion bill
and tbe monetary problem, they
would find tbe subject better fitted
to their calibre.”
This from tbe Berkeley Gazette is
good advice and eootnios much
troth. The disponitioo of the over
age men ia to atrive after tbe unat
tainable, and as every editor ex
pects to be either President or Groe-
•as, it is bat natantl that tbeir
thoughts should ran in tbe direc
tion of their ambition. Yet all men
do not dsalra tbe same reward, thus
the Berkeley brother seems to sim
at being a second Horace Greeley,
and will thus tell his sabaoribera
wbat be knows about farming, oth
er brethren with the Presidential,
Gabernathmal, or Legislative bee
la tbeii bonnets give long editorials
on ‘-ring rale,” Democratic extrav
agance, political oppression, une
qual representation, and unjnst tax
ation. Others show what they
know and don’t know about tbs Mi
ner bill nod the tariff, and ou these
several subjects the Naws, not to be
odd, boa vectored some occasional
remarks. While, aa a general thing,
tbe average coantry editor does the
bant be can for bia readers, yet
the idea of the Gazette ia a good one,
taking “caboage culture* as a syno
nym for those industrial parsuits
which tend to the development ot
the several counties. There is too
politics and sensational news
ia amny of onr journals, and
ant enough attention pnM to what
ia going on at homo. It is modi
interesting to the general
era of oonnty papers to hear
is an ejaculation often beard in
newspaper offices after tbe depar
ture of somebody who bas tried to
confiscate a paper, or get in a puff
of somebody ou the strength of old
friendship or some imaginary reason
equally as strong.
By some unaccountable misappre
hension of facts there is a large
clam of people in tbe world who
think that it costa little or nothing
to “run” a newspaper, and that if
they boy a copy when too far from
tbe office to come and beg one, they
are regular patrons, and entitled to
nuiimited favors. Men call fre
quently at oewspa|»er offices to get
a copy of tbe paper just from press,
for aotbing, who would never dream
of begging a pocket-handkerchief
from a dry-goods store, an apple
from n trait-stand, or a piece of con-
dy from a confectioner, even upon
tbe plea of old acquaintance or hav
ing bought aometbiog once before.
One paper is not much, bat one
hundred a week amoauta to some
thing in course of time.
Bat this is a small drain com
pared with tbe free advertising a
newspaper is expected to do. Some
men who have paid two dollars at
an early period in life for an silver
tisement worth fear or five, appear
to think they are st:>ckboldeni in
tbe establishment for eternity.
They demand tbe pnblioatiou of all
marriages and fnuerai notices,
obituaries and family episodes for
tbe next forty years gratis. Speak
of pay and they grow indignant.
‘‘Don’t I patronize your paper T”
“Yea, bat yon receive tbe worth of
your money for what you pay.”
“Bat,” says tbe patron, “it will not
cost yon anything to pat this in,”
which is just as ridiculous as to ask
a man to griod your axe on his
grindstone, and graciously tell him
that it won’t cost him a cent
It takes money to “run” a news
paper, as well as any other busk
ness, and do paper will succeed
financially that carries a dead head
Aystem. Any mention ol the )>eo-
ple’s affairs that they are anxious
to see in print is worth paying for,
and when printed is gene ally as
beneficial as any other iuvestmei t
of tbe same amount.
Tbe newspaper business is very
exacting ou all connected with it,
and tbe pay ia comparatively small;
tbe proprietora risk more money tor
small profits, and tbe editors and re
porters and typos work harder and
cheaper than the same number ot
meu iu any other profession requir
ing tbe same amount of intelligence
and training and drudgery.
Tbe life baa its charms, and its
pleasautaasoeiatiousacaroely known
by tbe dutaide world; but it bas its
earnest work and anxieties and
hours of exhaustion, which likewise
are not known to those who think
the business all fun. Tbe idea that
newspaperdom ia a charmed circle
where the favored members live a
life of ease and free from care, and
go to the various places of amuse
meet at night, ou a free ticket, and
to tbe springs on a free pass iu the
summer, ia au idea which «e desire
to exp ode practically and theoretic
ally.
• “Business is badness,” and the
journal that succeeds ia the one that
ia “ruu” ou a square ousiuess foot
ing. the same aa banking or build
ing bridges, keeping a hotel or
“running” a livery stable.

On tbe evening of February 2 an
interesting and enthusiastic meet
iug ot the alumni of lhe Chi Psi
fraternity of this State was held at
tbe office ol Mr. C. S. Nettles, for
tbe purpose of establishing a per
mauent organization, tbe object ol ’
which ia to bring about a closer
and more intimate association of
its members. Tbe meeting was
organized by calling the Rev. E.
Forrester, ot Uartsville. to tbe chair
and electing C. B. Edwards as
secretary and treasurer pro tern.
Alter reading letters and tele
grams expressing syiu|»atli.v am
hearty cooperation from various
members necessarily absent, the
P ^rmsueut organization of the Chi

Tbe bell Telephone monopoly is
regarded as one of tbe most greedy
and insatiable of any in existence.
It is alleged that tbe patent was
obtained by fraud and iu order to
decide tbe matter its validity will
be tested before the Supreme Court.
To distract tbe atleutiou of the read
ing public, tbe Bell people are rais
ing a tremeud< us bue and cry
against Secretary Lamar and At
torney-General Garland for alleged
oorrupt practices. Newspapers like
tbe World, the 8uu and the Tribune
of New York, whose main object
seems to he to prejudice the people
against President Cleveland’s ad
ministration, are filled with col
ons of abase diiected towards
those two cabinet officers, all of
which go to show that tbe Bell Com
pany are afraid of a judicial loves
tigation. Tbeir claims may not be
fraudnieot but their acts justify
sack an opinion.
