Song ot the Candidate- Buruxotoh Hawkbti, ••Father, who trareli the road so latet” ••Hush my child I 'tie the candidate. Fit example of human woes— Early he comes and late be gose; He greets the women with oonrtly grace, He kieses the baby’e dirty face, Be cells te the fence the farmer at work, He bores the merchant he bores the olerk. The blacksmith, while his annl rings, He gleets and this is the song he sings: “Howdy, howdy, howdy do ? How is your wife, end how are yon t Ah 1 it fils my fist as no other can, The horny head of the working man.' “Husband, who is that man at the gate t" “Hash, my lore I 'tie the candidate.” “Husband, why can’t he work like you T Hea he nothing at home to do?” “My deer, whenever n man is down. No eash at home, no money in town. Toe stupid to preach, too proud to beg, Toe timid to rob, too lasy to dig. Then over bis horse bis legs he flings. And to the dear people this song he sings .* “Howdy, howdy, howdy do T How is yonr wife, and bow are you ? Ah I it fits my fist as no other oan, Tbs horny hand of the working man." Brothers who labor early and late, A ek these things of the candidate ; What’s hi* reeord ? How does hs eland At home? No matter about bis hand, B* it hard or soft, so it be prone To close over moner not bis own. Has he in view no thieving plan ? is he honest or eapabte ?—is he our man ? Cheer such a men till the welkin rings. Join in the chorus when thus be sings: “Howdy, howdy, dowdy do? How is your wife, end bow are yon? Obi it file ny fi.tae no other can. The horny hand of the working man.' Faith Care and the Holiness Associa tion- (W. D. Woods, in 8. C. Advocate.) Please allow me space to call at tention to some of the mistakes of the Her. T. t). Ligon in his article, “the Faith Core Delusion.” All people with well balanced minds will agree with him in denouncing soch fanaticism as ibis; but when be undertakes to prove that the Holiness Association have njthing to do with the faith cure absurdity he simply makes au assertion which is not warranted by the facts of the case, ‘ as the following statement drill prove: Mis«tiord>>n attended the meeting of the Holiness Asso ciation in Dailingtonon the invita tion of the Rev. H. G Scudday, ex tended it is presumed iu the name of the association. While here she taught the faith care in the most earnest and persuasive way, and with such success that quite a num her of excitable, enthusiastic peo ple expressed their belief in it and openly asserted that they would not in case of sickness think of hav ing the services of a physician or taking any medicine. This was all done in the Holiness tent, and neither mini-ter or layman opened his month in the way of dissent. In addition to this, the Rev. R. 0 Oli ver, a prominent member of the aa sociation, followed in the same line, spoke very emphatically of bis be lief iu it, and gave a number of in stances that came under bis own obaervation where the sick were cored by faith, mentioning special ly his being jured of a very bad toothache. If the holiness Association did not wish to commit itself to this delusion, why did they allow all this to go on without putting a stop to it f It is simply absurd to say that they cannot control the pro oeedings in their own meetings. The general impression is that this was their purpose in procuring the tent: that they might manage things to suit themselves. In re gard to the case in Darlington that has attracted so mnch attention and concerning which two entirely opposite statements have been made, the writer knows nothing personally, and of course cannot enter into the controversy, but mere wishes to call attention to the fact that whatever of evil has re anlted from au attempt to put this belief into practice, or may result in the futare, the Holiness Associa tion is responsible for it; and no denial or assertion can avail to pat the responsibility anywhere else. The writer has the almost respect for Miss G( rdon personally, and the most implicit confidence in her piety, and he oan say the same of the members of the Holiness Asso ciation, some of whom si tonal friends, bat feeh time has come for thoee who wish to maintain the purity and integri ty of the Chorch to speak out and v use whatever influeoce they may have to put a stop to these deiu done that are working ao much in Jury to the Oburcb. It is true that Mies Gordon made many friends iu Darlington, but it is a mistake to assert that she would bo welcomed back by the whole community, for there are quite a numbs; of people who, while entertaining the kindest feelings both to Mias Gordon and the Holiness Association, will join with the writer in the wish that the advocates of the second blessing and the faith cure apostles may never again visit Darlington, be lieving, as they conscientiously do, that the preaching of these onecrip- ‘ doctrines and some of the ex- indulged in daring i have to some extent | (good effect of Mr. Leitch’s revival services, and have resulted in injury to the cause of Methodism iu this community. It is very pleasant to be able to say in conclusion that, putting aside the faith cure delusion and her ad vocacy of it, Miss Gordon is a very earnest and impressive speaker and some of her talks did mnch good; bat all this should not make ns by silence virtuallv give assent to the promulgation of dangerons and er roneous doctrines. The main object of the comma nication baa been to place the re sponsibility, so far as the faith core delusion has taken foothold in this town, where it properly belongs: on the shoulders of the Holiness Association. Dargan and the Democracy. (From the News end Oonrier.) The work of the Congressional Convention at Florence on Wednes day was well done. Congressman Dargan is to be congratulated upon his nomination, and the people of the Sixth District are to be con gratulated that they have so wor thy and competent a representa tive. Mr. Dargan, however, was not nominated withont very formida ble opposition. Throe most excel lent and thorongh-goiog Democrats were willing to take his place at Washington, any one of whom would make an acceptable Con gressman. They made a fair fight for the nomination, and, when they had been fairly beaten, the vote for Mr. Dargan was made unanimous. Col. Blue, Mr. Newton and Col Benbow, with their respective friends, will now go into the cam paign solidly for Dargan, which means his election in November in spite of any factions opposition that may be organized. All this is, of coarse, very gratify ing to Mr. Dargan and very reas suring to the Democracy, bat it mast not be forgotten anywhere that Mr Dargan’s renomination was due more largely to his politi cal strength and to bis consistent course in Congress than his person al popularity. Mr. Dargan is a Democrat, aud is in thorough ac cord with the faith and poll- y of bis party. He is au earnest sap porter of the Democratic Adminis tration and an ardent believer in the political integrity of President Cleveland. He’s in barmouv with the Democracy on the great living, distinctive issues of the day and has been honored by bis Democra tic constituents as he deserved to be honored. It during his service in Congress Mr. Dargan had gone astray on the question of tariff reform; if his coarse on the silver issae had not been in sympathy with the best in terests of the country; if he had used his position as a representa live to antagonize the Administra tion and to defame the President, we believe that be would not have been renominated. The Democra cy of the Pee Dee are brave and resolnte and consistent. They have honored Mr. Dargan in recognition of bis consistent political course iu the past, and because they know that they oau rely upon him in the futuie to stand with the party and by the President on all questions points Sooth, to various points in North Carolina, which are good from Jane 1st to Oct. 31st. Par ties attending the Convention and desiring to bring their families to oar charming summer resorts iu our mountains or on the seashore, will find these excursion tickets convenient and cheap. Special rates will be secared and furnished to those who may desire simply to attend the Convention and retorn. VICE-PRESIDENTS.

The Inter-State Farmers’ Association This body was organized by the Inter-State Oonvention of Farmers which met in Atlanta, Ga, iu Au gust, 1887. It was a magnificent body of broad minded, patriotic, representative agriculturists of the ten ootton States. The Association was born of necessity. The peon lar at d langnisbiog condition of ag riculture especially in the South, is a matter of Intense interest and profonnd concern. Toreachajns: conception of onr environments and to devise the wisest methods for relief, is the great and grand object of the Association. In all departments of industrial enter prise in the Sooth except in the great field of agriculture, we wit ness and feel the invigorating pul sations of quickened life and ener gy. There are causes which have unbalanced the industries ot the country. They most be readjusted ao aa to aeeure to agriculture (the greateatof all) a fair ahowing in the race. To thia end the Inter-State Farmers’ Aaaoeialion waa organ ixed. Ita next meeting will be held In the city of Raleigh, N. O., on Tuea- day, 21et day of Angnat next. It will be composed of delegatee appointed by the Vlce-Pceaidenta of their reapeetive Btatea—five del egates and their alternates, from each Congressional district. Of course, all who may come will be welcomed, bat the vote la limited by the Ckmatitation of the Aasocia tlon to five tor each Congressional district. RATSS. The Southern Paaaeoger Associa tion baa established a schedule of Sommer Excursion Bates from all It may be passing out of the minds ot some of our people, and may be unknown to others, that Florence and its vicinity, in the decade between the years ’67 and ’77, and in the days of Whittemore, was at times in a condition, in some respects, more terrible than war. Bands of well armed robbers did their work by night, attempting to murder all who offered resistance. It was the first of these, the “Soott Nettles Baud.” that among their other develish work, attacked the house of John K Law, Esq, then owning the Morris place, and in the melee shot oat bis eye. Here W. P. Cole began his work. Afterwards a political band was formed from around Ebenezer. whose avowed purpose waa to des troy all property of Democrats, and take their lives. This was known as the “Bill Jackson Band.” Cole was one of the victims, bis houses beiug robbed and burned on the night of Jauuary 29tb, 1877. From this time be was sleepless in bis vigilance to bring the destroyers to justice. Eighteen of the baud were captured in what is known as the Ebenezer riot by Capt J. C. Blackwell, W. P. Cole aud others of the Ebenezer troop, and brought to the Trial Justice at Florence. They were marched in a body to jail. But perhaps the most daring of all was the band of “Mtq. Man ning,” as Mose Wilson styled turns-If, co cistiog, besides of the one-eyed Henry Mack, the one- armed cutthroat Horace Greely, Aaron Braoy, Peter Hinds, Andrew and Ed Fennel and others. This band, on the night of March 2nd, 1877, the night before the guard boose riot at Florence, attacked the premises of Mr. P. A. Branson, robbed aud burnt six honses, and boldly attempted to enter the dwelling bouse, from which they were (Liven with bloodshed by •Mr. Brunson and his sons. It was here that Cole didbis mostsplendid work, spending uigbt after night on the roadside and in the swamps in all kinds of weather, on the track of these rognes, and never resting until the last one met the bang- man’s rope or entered the peniten tiary. We cannot forget these things, and if meritoriros public service and efficiency go to make op the desired officer, we would like to know where a better man can be found for Sheriff than W. P. Cole.
