The baainees prospects of the Haws will be perceptibly brighten ed ii our patrons will follow oa for mm moment Let oor subscribers look at the top of the first column on our first page, and they willses there a notice that all subscriptions are to be paid la advanoe. This is no new notioe; R ban been there ever since the pa per was established. Under the atw management, we are compell ed to ask that it be adhered to. At the commencement of an en terprise such as this it is necessary to porehase very many articles in order that the paper may be suo- oeesfully conducted; so we hope that all of oor subscribers who are pablio-qrirttedy and who wish to see a first-class newspaper established in the eouuty, will remember this rale. This, together with their good will, is all we ask. The press needs “oiling,” and needs it badly, too. It would not do to tarn out the paper and then “oil the press” afterwards; tbit would not accom plish the purpose. It mast be “oil- ed” before the paper can be snooess telly taened. Again, there is a general rale, well recognised in printing offices nil over the ooantry, that running advertisements must be psid for after the first insertion. The new proprietor does not pro pose to adopt any more stringent regulations in regard to payments than were need by his several pre- >; he only desires to en- two general rales of long standing, which embody purely bn siness principles; and he feels sore their Importance to this entei prise will readily be perceived by every bnsioess man. With some subscribers it may not be convenient to make immediate payment. Of coarse, they will be reasonably indulged as heretofore. This explanation is made in order that those who receive om notices daring the next few weeks may un derstand the situation; and we only ask that those who can make im- SMdiate payment will remember the two important principles above referred to and govern themselves accordingly. “FRIENDSHIP, BROTHERHOOD, CO- OPERATION.” This is the titla of an editorial In the Pm Dee Index of- last week, which we reproduce in this issue of the Mews, referring to the resent spaseh of oar Congressman at Mar lon. Those of ns who wera at Ly dia will remember that thin was the test so ably and appropriately elab- bj Mr. Dargaaoo that oc- the county should occupy to dar. Before the oouveutiou met there was much interest taken in the uoai iuationft, and it seemed as if there were two separate factions in the comity. What wonder then that, since these nominations have been made, considerable dissatisfaction should ensue f One side or the otb er bad to lose, and somebody bad to be disappointed. But, remember, we are all iu fhe Democratic party and these nominations were made within oar ranks. If yonr personal friends did not happen to be put on the ticket, good Democrats were placed there, anyhow. Remember that! If you have been iu doubt as to what you would do on the 2nd of November, dismiss that doubt now and forever, for the success ot the Demociacic party, (and we alt know what that means) depends upon how we act on that day. There is no use to argue that you can quietly stay at home tbw time; that there is nothing to fight lor, and that yonr absence from the polls will not be noticed. There is din satisfaction, snd if yon act iu that manner you will only add to it. Pause and consider well before it is too late! Tbe clond in tbe sky is no larger than a man’s hand. In two years, if allowed to spread, it may cover tbe whole heavens. He who refrains from veting because tbe ticket does not please him only increases tbe existing dissatisfac tion, which ought to be choked out at once. Beware, lest this same dissatisfaction shall prove an enter ing wedge, which shall cleave the now nnited party, until by the next general election, when so much de pends on our success, the breach, intensified by two years of bicker- ering and heart barnings, will have become so widened that tbe two parts cannot be brought together again. It is need lees to refer to what we went through with np to ’76. That is still too fresh in tbe minds of os all. We do not wish to be direful ij our productions and are only trying to show what will inevitably ensue unless every Democrat does bis duty on tbe 2nd ot November. Go to tbe polls and vote tbe straight ticket, frrtu Governor to Coroner. Remember, we are all in tbe same boat; our interests are common, whether we be professional men, farmers or mechanics. Then, “let us oast aside whatever previous passions or prejudices may have crept in,” and let our waten words be “Friendship, Brotherhood, Co operatiou ” Chairman of the County Democratic Executive Committee, on calling the Convention to order on the INth instant, said be hoped that whatever previous passions or i had crept la would now be Add Mr. Brown’s remarks to the teat et Mr. Dargaa and yon will have ear view of the poeition which •Tery good end true Democrat in THE DARLINGTON DELEGATION. Col. B. W. Edwards, who has re ceived tbe Democratic nomination for Senator, is too well known in tbe connty and State to require any introdnetiou to tbe public. His let ters in opposition to free tuition have been widely read and his ar guments are constantly referred to by prominent men all over tbe State who hold his views on that subject. Col. Edwards’ name has, on more than one occasion, been mentioned in connection with the office of Governor. He is an advanced think er and believes generally in State appropriations for educational pur poses. As is well known be is op posed to free tuition in tbe Col lege, but he is not opposed to the provisions of tbe Aot of 1878, giv ing tuition free tc one student Irom each connty. He is not prepared to say how he stands on tbe ques tion of the Citadel, nor on the ques tion of the Colombia Caual. He will support tbe canal if on investi gation he fiode that it will piove a benefit to the whole State, aud is uot designed merely to build up tbe local interests of Oolnmbia. Tbe Colonel fears that a separate agri cultural college would involve too much additional expense to the State, but be thinks it would bo highly practicable to establish such an institntioo in connection with the Citadel. He thinks that the State House should be completed sufficiently to protect the proiierty, and believes thst while there are a few “leaks” which might be stop ped, there is, not any great room for the reductiou of expenses iu the State and connty governments. Mr. W. 8. King, tbs gentleman who received the highest namber nf votes for the House is 43 years years of age, and resides oearHarts- ville. He is by profession a farm er, bat, in addition holds the office of Trial Jastice. Mr. King is op posed to free tuition in tbe College; he is unfavorably disposed towards the Citadel, thongh he is not pre pared yet to commit himself, snd would rather bear more on the sub ject before he acts; nor is he pre pared to commit himself one w^y or the other on the question of a separate agricultural college. He is opposed to the Columbia Canal if the people art to be taxed farth er for it, and thinks that tbe State House shvold be completed, on the ground that tbe Slate ought to take care of the property, and tecHusethe people have s|)enttoo ina<-b money on it tolbrow it away. Mr. King thinks th it there is room for retrench men t and reform in the expenditures of the State and county government. Dr J. O. By'd, who received the next highest vote, is a physician by uofrsaion, is 30 years of age aud resiiles at Timmon-ville. He is op posed to free tuition in the College and (o aay appropriation for the Citadel, as be thinks both of these institution' should b« self sup|K>rt- ug. He will not commit himself on the subject of tbe canal until be earns whether it is a benefit to the State. Mr. Byrd thinks the State House should be made habitable, ibat the farmers thould have a sep arate agricultural college if they want it, and that there is room for retrenchment iu the administration of the State aud county govern, ments. Mr. Z. T. Kershaw, the third rep resentative is a Northern m-'u orig inally bnt, for some yenrs past has been living at Florence, where he now bolds tbe office of Trial Justice. Mr. Kershaw is 34 years of age aud is a mechanic by profession. It is said that he owes his nomination to Koights of Labor influence. He is infavorof a modification of the man agement of the College, but is pro bably in favor of the Gre^g resolu tions which were adopted in the re cent comity con veil lion. He is in favor of the present appropriation lor the Citadel, and thinks that the State has so mneb money in the canal that it ought to lie developed further, as far as it can be done by convict labor He tbinks that the State Honse should be made habit able, and that there should be no cutting of present salaries, as be does uot deem them too bitib for competent men. Mr. John S. DuBose, the fourth representative, is a preacher and farmer. He is abont 48 years of age, and resides in tbe Lamar sec tiou. Mr. DuBose is opjx sed to free tuition, to the Citadel appro priatiou, and to the State -paying out any more money on the canal Hs is iu favor of a separate agricnl tnral college, believes that tbe State House ought to be finished, and tbinks that there is room for re trenchment in State aud anility affairs. THE COUNTY ^TICKET. Tbe renominations of Col. W. H. Evans, tbe present School Com missioner, aud of Mr. D. H. Trailer, the Treasurer, aeetn to have given general satisfaction So well has Mr. Trailer discharged the difficult duties of bis office that he bad no opposition iu the convention and was unanimously uomi iated by ac clamation, a complim-nt which was paid no other nominee. The opposition to Col. Evans, judging from tbe vote polled, amounted to little or nothing. Fora man who has bean in office so long to have received such a flattering vote iu a convention where coin petition was so rite bears oat the opinion express ed long ago that “he is one of the best school commissioners in tbe State.” Mr. T. H. Spain, the nominee for Judge of Probate is known to be a young man of energy and ability. He is devoted to bis cbosen profes sion, tbe law, and will discharge most acceptably the duties ol the office to which he will be elected. The nominations for county Com missioners were undoubtedly very fine, and will give strength to the ticket. It will be difficult to find a better board iu the whole State. Messrs. J. E. Bass, J. E. Ward, and H. Lide Law, are all men of tbe highest iutegritv and have tbe respect and esteem of everybody in the Connty. Mr. H. E. ('. Fountain, the nomi nee tor Auditor is an old confeder ate soldier, who lost one leg iu tbe war. As was appropriately said by the gentlemen who nominated him, “If bis cratch was here, it would speak moree oqnently for his claims than any words ot mine.” Mr. R. G. Parnell is said, like Mr. Kersbaw, to owe his ncmina tion to the infloenoeof tbe Knights of Labor. Mr. Parnell, for some years past, has been tbe deputy of Sheriff Cole, and, in that capacity, has doubtless obtained a familiarity with tbe duties of tbe offler of Cor oner lor which he has been nomina ted. THE STATE FAIR. The people of the Pee Dee sec tion are always interested in tbe sucoess of the State Fair, and gen erally attend in large numbers. It is)greatly to be hoped therefore that tbe authorities will make every ef fort to have a day train run from here to Oolnmbia daring tbe week, as many persons from this section who would otherwise attend the Fair are deterred from doing so tty tbe bad railroad connections. We understand that, daring the lost Fair week, special daily trains were ran from Cheraw to Colombia, and the railroad authorities found them selves well compensated for their trouble Wbycoudn’t it bs dons again ! We sincerely hope It wilt The Democratic Rally at Florence Tbe Democratic rally of the Sixth Congressional District was held at Florence on Tlmrs-lay, October 14. Mach to the disappointment of everybody, only one of the State canvasaers. Col. John Peter Rich ardson, tbs Democratic uotrineefer Governor was present, but bis *|H‘ech which has been universally commented upon as a model ot elo quence, made amends for tbe small uniuber of speakers present. Tbe morning train from Darlington brought Congressman Dargan ami Col. B. W. Edwards, the nominee for the Senate from Dailington. connty. The atand for tbe apeaking was erected on Evans Street, in a bean tifnlly shaded |K»rtiou of the town, while just opposite were assembled a number of ladies who, at such limes, always do their duty by ad ding to tbe occasion with the sweet enconrageoieut which their pres euce affords. The Darlington Baud was ou band and added greatly to the sneoesa of the day. The meeting was called to order at 11 o’clock by Geo. W. Brown, Bsq M tbe chairman of the Democra tic Executive Committee of the Sixth Congressional District who gracefully introduced Col. Jno. P. Richardson, the candidate for Gov ernor. The andieuoc was small, bat very appreciative aud attentive; daring the whole of Col. Richard son’s speech be was constantly in terrupted by cheering and applause. Col Richardson, iu a clear and most interesting manner, rendered an ac count of bis stewardship since he bad been State Treasurer; showed what be believed to be the true causes of the depressed condition of tbo farming interests, aud logi cally, by applying figures to the test, successfully refuted the general charges which have been filling tbe air of extravagance in tbe adminis tration of the State government. As one in a position to know where of he spoke he made a masterly ar gument, which greatly impressed his bearers, on the snhject of taxes and the present State debt, and by contrasting onr hardens with those which were now upon the citizens of neighboring States, he showed how far superior onr condition is to theirs. Tbe speaker then contrast ed our situation with the one we occupied ten years ago, and elo quently urged the nt-cessity for nu ion in the Democratic ranks as tbe only thing to prevent ns from re lapsing into our former deplorable condition. In speaking ot tbe ad ministration ol the Treasury depart meat, be said: “There has uot been a single year that tbe transactions of my depart meat have not been thorough‘y and carefully examined by an intelligent aud able committee of the Legiala ture, and 1 can, iu yonr county, refer you to one, that grand man, W (). Coker, th in whom there is no better iu the State ot South Car olina, (applause) or mo e patriotic or worthy of the confidence and es teem of our whole ped^i’e ” (ap plausc). The speaker closed with an elo quent peroration, in which he urg ed his bearers not to lie discourag ed by temporary misfortunes but to overcome them by maulally toiling upward aud onward Seldom has a more interesting oration than Col. Ricbardson’a been heard on the soil of Darlington comity. Those who were absent missed a trea . Hon. Geo. VV. Dargan. Congress man from the Sixth District was next introduced, and made a capi tal argument against the nulimited coinage of silver and dwelt ou other intereating topics Mr. Dargan was followed by Col. Edwards the nominee tor Senator. Col. Edwards had only gone to F'lor euce as a listener, not expecting to be called on tor a speech. When bronebt to tbe front, however, be made an interesting address. At the oouclusioi of Col. Ed wards’ s|>eecli Mr. Z. T. Kersbaw was londly called tor bv bis friends, and, iu response, made a short but very appropriate aud sensible speech. This ended the speaking for the day. Tbe crowd dispersed aud C*d. Richardson was driven to the hotel, where a number of prominent gen tlemeu bad been invited to dine with him, aud during the evening many citizens of Florence called to pay their respects to the distinguish ed viaitor. Col Richardaou left for Columbia early on Friday morning. The Democratic party is uot slumbering in Darlington. Tuere is no enemy iu sight, but past expe rieuce has taught us to be on the alert and well prepared against any who may be concealed. The Proof of the Padding. (Prom lh« Now* *nd Courier.} Col. Richardson, tbe Democratic candidate for Governor of Sooth Carolina, expo**'! at F orence tbe iallacy of the statements so freely made, of late, that tbe exiienses of tbe State Government have been enormously aud unnecessarily in creased under Democratic rule. Who can speak w<th more authority ou this subject than Col. Richard son, who has been the State treas urer for nearly six yearst Every dollar paid into tbe State treasury, iu tbe period named, went into his bauds, and through him was psid out every dollar that was spent. Look st the record. I. It has been charged that in 1878 the State taxation amounted tp about 4368,000, and that since that time te tbe present it has steadily increased. We admit that the State spends more than was spent ten years ago. Bat tbe reason is that tbe Stete pays its debts now, aud did not pay them at tbe earlier time, and that ore is given to tbe people, for the greater good ot the greater number, than was formerly given them. Iu 1878 tbe litigation concerning ike State’ll debt was in progress and ao levy wan made for interest. This interest, which ig now paid regular ly, amounts to about four hundred thousand dollars. Add this amount to tbe amount of tbe ex|>enditares iu 1878, and tbe total is just ab< at what ia spent to day. Col. Rich ardson says, indeed, that be finds that taxation is somewhat less than it was eight years ago. 1L The general expenses of tbe State Government have diminished since 1880. There have been ad ditional appropriations, and for whatf The South Carolina Col lege, tbe Citadel Academy, tbe Louatic Asylum ; n«i elections Tbe expenses of elections mast be paid. Tbs Democratic party has no power to suppress or extirpate lunacy. All over the State tbe henefi s of tbe South Carolina College and State Military Academy are handsomely telt. There is, also, tbe appropria- tiou for making tbe State House safe and decent. Yon can’t have a State Government without a place for tbe officer# and representatives to work iu. Tbe piney woods or sandy streets will uot serve aalegis lative balls, committee rooms and quarters for Governor, treasurer, aud the like. Tbe State-House was in appearance, a rain, a bankrupt concern deserted of builder and owner and iu fact it was not much better What is to be spent is to make tbe State-House reasonably safe aud comfortable, so that those who are constrained by official duty to abide there shall be in uo special danger as regards health or life and limb—as by falling ceilings and humid rooms. III. But if the necessary appro priations have increased, so has the revenue. The phosphate loyal ty amounts to about 9200,000 a year, instead of 9100,000. This goes far to compensate—without additional taxation—for the enforc ed increase in expenditures. IV. W bat is the rate of taxation f The assessed value of the real and personal property in South Carolina is about $150,000,000. Col. Rich- ardsou believes that tbe true value is at least 9300.000,000. Upon tbe low valuatiou of 9150,000, 00. tbe taxation—covering the expenses uf tbe State Government, the interest on the public debt, tbe cost of tbe charitable and penal inatitations aud the institutions for higher edu cation—m jutt a fraction over fiflg cent* on everg hundred dollars l Taxesare high, very high iu many counties, but this is because those roiuittes have incurred meal debts by luibscriptious to the stock ol de sirable railways, aud otherwise. The counties would uot dream ofeharg ing tbeir own expenditures to tbe State Government—the DeinouiStic party They will bear their own burdens, as they assumed them. The State has naught to do with it VI. Compare onr expenditures for State govern men La I purposes with those ot other States, le-aring iu mind always that the rate uf ex pense should decrease as imputation increases. South Carolina, in 1880, bad a imputation of only 1,000,000 while Alabama had 1.262,505, Geor gia 1,542,180. Louisiana 930.146, Pennsylvania 4,282.891, New York 5.082,871 and Massachusetts 1,783,- 085. Her*- is the State tax lor each person iu theseverai Sta es, as com puted by Col llicbardsou, ou the basis of one mi lion inhabitants for each. South Carolina. 9 1 83 Alabama. 1 83 Georgia. 2 00 Louisiana. 4 07 Pennsylvania. 7 00 New York. 11 00 Massachusetts. 13 00 Well may the Democratic party in South Carolina be proud ol their achievements. The saving, the re habilitation aud tbe restoration are their work for the people, and by the people too. Col. Richardson is more than an eloquent speaker. It is in him to make bard facts aud plain figures attractive and pleasing Colder men would weary their audiences with bald arithmetical propositions, but Col. Richardson has the power to breathe life into numbers.rad give to treasury statements the charm of personal interest and the attraction of hard cash. Mr. Glad stone waa tbe first Chancellor ot the Exchequer to make a speech ou the budget a delight to hear, and CoL Richardson, in that happy respect, has tbe same accompisb- ment. Unholy Alliance, Editor Darlington Xe»i: The late convention was said to be in favor of tbe farmer. Perhaps it was. The nominees of that body for tbe Legislature were aa follows. One preacher, one doctor, one farm er aud one machinist. Very well so far; one of tbe nominees is an exalted ‘Knight of Labor.” If the farmer in this country has any natural enemy that organization is moat of ail to be feared and dread ed. It waa certainly a singular aud unholy alliance. B. Cheraw Union. Tbe next meeting of the Cheraw Union will be held with the Antioch Baptisb Church, October 29tb, to 31at.

Oongressman Dargan in his ad mirable speech on Monday made an eloquent plea for coo|>eration, brotherhood, friendship, confidence. It is along tbe line of a text the Index has preached from time and again, and to bis sound, practical, philosophical sermon we desire to add, to carry out tbe figure, a word ot exhortation to the people of Mar ion County. We, aud in tbia the editorial “we” will doabtless em brace tbe great majority of tbe good people of the county, reverently thank God that we are practically rid of politics for two years, and may we not wish that the heart burnings caused by tbe falsehoods and misrepresentations which hare been retailed throughout tbe coun ty in tbe beat of partiaan strife could alao be forgotten. At least tor this we should strive, bat an fortunately it has been humorously bat iruibiully said, there is letsot human nature iu mankind, and it is quite difficult to wipe these things from memory. Bit as a peo|iie let us try to do so, aud endeavor to co-operate to make our county prosper. No community, no county no 8tate can be prosiierous or hap py without cooperation and busi ness confidence in all matters which appertain to their social, industrial or political welfare. Farmer# and lawyers, doctors and preachers, should aud must pull together tor tbe common good, aud be who seeks to divide the people is an enemy to his race. To our people let us say bury your difiereuces and as one mau march forward to build up our common couatry. Our Congressman, Col. Geo. W. Dargan, was here among his con stituents of Williamsburg last Mon day, and we had the pleasure of meeting him and talking with him. A man of energy and ability, be has served his State well in other posi tions than that of Representative in tbe National Legislative Halls, where bis coarse has been snch that his constituents have determined to return him. Tbe result, we believe, will justify tbeir confidence, for Col Dargan is said to be making him self a fine reputation for ability and business capacity among his fellow Congressmen.— WiHiamburg Star and Herald.
