There are men in South Caro lina who, while calling them selves Democrats, cannot an swer the simple question, what claims have they to Democracy? The fact is they have none. They villify the Democratic President and scoff at Demo cratic doctrines—they spurn the leader and spit upon the plat form. They are Populists, pure and simple, and the manly thing for them to do is to come out and say so. But will they do it? We fear not. They have control of the machinery of the Democratic party and it suits them to claim to be Democrats in order to hold the offices. They well know thai, the bulk of the oeople of South Carolina will not desert Democracy and should they de clare for Populism they would lose the “loaves and fishes”. Ben Terrell, we are afraid, will have difficult work in making these men show their true col ors. While not given to hero ,-worship, .wo regard Grover Cleveland as a great statesman and true patriot. Like all men, he makes mistakes, but they are honest mistakes for he is an honest man. He is our leader and we should stand by him. Abus is heaped upon him by Republicans and Populists and it is certainly unbecoming in Democrats to join in it. We rejoice that this is done, how- ever, only by a certain class of so-called Democratic politicians and that the masses still have .great faith in the honesty of Cleveland. These Populists masquerading as Democrats have no more claim to Democracy than did the wolf, dressed in sheep’s skin, have claim to membership in the most docile family of animals. Let us follow the analogy furnished us by the fable and destroy the wolt that is attempting to ruin the Demo cratic fold. WHAT CONSTITUTES A DRINK? Senator Irby confesses in a letter to the editor of the Pied mont Headlight—hi b friend, Larry Gant—that he was re cently drunk in Columbia, but tmfortpnately the confession is produced by such circumstances that no merit can be attached to it. On account of the high position he holds great publicity was given the affair, so that ‘everybody knows that the Sen- alor was drunk—to own up was all he could do, for a denial was impossible. But the Senator is too vague in his efforts to explain how he got in that unfortunate condi tion. He says he took only two drinks and they flew to his head. Now, what constitutes a drink differs with different people. It may vary, according to the idea the drinker holds on this sub ject, from a thimbleful to a glassful, or since the advent of the dispensary, a drink, as the Greenville Nexes says, may con sist of what may be extracted from an official bottle in one application to the lips, and may mean anything from a single swallow to a pint. The Senator should be more precise, because people may be led to think that two thimbles- ful of whiskey made him so drunk that he had to be helped oat of the car and made him so craty that he flourished his pis tol most promiscuously and that when these two little thimbles- ful got in their full work, they so completely unlimbered him that he rode along the streets with his feet hanging out of the side of the carriage. Should it be thought that two thimblesful of whiskey produced this as tounding effect upon him, it would be a serious reflection up on the mental poise of the Sen ator. Really he should hasten to explain what, with him, con stitutes a drink. - However, the Senator express- erdeep Contrition for his offence and for this we give him credit. He promises not to do so any more and we hope he will not— for the sake of the good name of South Carolina. THE com NEWS. CLYDE. Some of us have saved lots of nice pea vine hay. Mr. and Mrs. G. F. Turnage went to Leavensworth on a visit last Saturday. Our overseer has done some good work on his part of the road through the swamp. We are having nice weather for gathering and our boys are making good use of the time. We are glad to report that Mr. Jack Thompson, who has been quite sick for sometime, is up again. The cotton crop is very short. When some of the fields are picked, there will be but a little more to gather. The Sunday-school at New Market is in a flourishing con dition and we hope for still greater improvement. Mr. A. M. McNair has had so much ginning to do for the last week that he has had to run his gin both day and night. Mr. W. T. Goodson and Miss M. C. Watkins, both of this sec tion, were married on Septem ber 24. We wish the couple a long and happy life. We had the pleasure of listen ing to a very fine sermon at New Market on Sunday after noon by Rev. J. A. White. He took his text from Revelations III, 22. THfe FALL COURT Will Convene on the Fourth Monday of the Present Month. The fall term of Court for Darlington county will convene on the fourth Monday in Octo ber, the 23rd inst. Judge T. B. Fraser will preside. The jury commissioners will meet to morrow (Friday) to draw the petit juries for the first and sec ond weeks. While there are a number of criminal cases to be tried this docket may be said to be very light, as none of the cases are very important nor will the trial of any consume considerable time. Customer—Say, mister, the times are so bad you have to cut down the price of a shave to 10 cents Barber—On the contrary, we have raised the price to a quar ter. Customer—Raised the price of shaving! Why? Barber—Everybody has such a long face nowadays.—Brook lyn Life. When Bnbjr wm «tck, we her CMtcrtn. When «he woe a Child, she cried for CMtortm. When she heemme Mine, she clun« to Caaorfn.

Marco’s mill dam com pleted. If the weather continues fav orable until the last of the week about all the cotton in this com munity will be gathered by then. ^ The meeting of the Welch Neck Baptist Association for 1893 will be held at Mt. Elon Church on Tuesday before the third Sunday in November. The country is so overrun with agents, peddlars and col lectors that one of our neighbors (this being hay season) carried his pitchfork with him for a week for protection. As was suggested by the Green Plain correspondent we will give the views of the peo ple of this section through The News in regard to the county assisting in the removal of the Confederate monument at Dar lington to the Public Square, if all who wish to be heard on the subject will leave their names (not for publication) at Una P. O., together with their views expressed by “yes” or “no.” NEW PROVIDENCE. As time advances the shorter the cotton crop appears to be. These items will hereafter be known as the Nettles Mill items. r. R. H. Goodson has pur chased a new mowing machine which does good work Rev. J. J. Bateman is serious ly sick at this writing. We wish him a speedy recovery. A call meeting of New Provi dence Church will be held on the Saturday before the first Sunday in November. Most of us have cut our rice. Mr. Wm. Heustiss says that he has made enough of this crop for his own use and some to seU besides. Mr. H. J. Nettles gins twelve bales of cotton a day, which is a very good record as his engine is a very small one. Mr. J. T. Goodson is also doing a good business with his gin. CYPRESS. We have lots of apple trees in bloom. The farmers have saved a fine lot of pea vine hay. A colored man near this place has beaten the record on cotton picking in this section. He re cently picked 399 pounds in one day. A party at this place received a box of “fish” last Saturday and when it was opened a very suspicious looking keg was tak en out of it Unless the Tillman spies break open and examine all freight received they will get left. Some of our farmers will not care very much about the price of Western bacon next year. Dr. J. M. Josey, Mr. J. W. Du- Bose and some others around this place will be independent of the Western meat market if they have luck with their hogs. Dr. Josey has On finest shoat we have seen. Notice.
