HOW THE MATTER STANDS.
Much has been written and
said lately about the organiza
tion of the Populist party in
South Carolina. Tnis paper has
taken the position that those
who are preaching Populistic
doctrines, while masquerading
as Democrats, would do 1 h e
manly thing by declaring open
ly for Populism; and that it
would be far better for pure
Democracy that the lines be
strictly drawn. The men to
whom we refer are many of the
leaders of the “reform” faction,
who are loud in their abuse of
Cleveland and the Democratic
platform and even louder in
their advocacy of Populistic
ideas.
But this matter should be
clearly understood. There is no
implication that all the members
of the reform faction are Popu
lists at heart. As good Demo
crats are to be found in the
ranks of that faction as any
where. It is some of the lead
ers that we are after—those who
are disseminating un-Democrat
ic doctrines, with the evident
purpose of disrupting the party.
These so-called leaders believe
as we do, that the majority of
the white people at present wish
to remain in the Democratic
party. Did they believe other
wise they would not resort to
covert tactics, but would declare
openly for Populism. They
know, as matters now stand,
that to hold the offices they
must continue to call them
selves Democrats, but that they
have hope of ultimately carry
ing the bulk of the white people
over to another party with them
cannot be doubted. If the
time shall ripen they will de
clare for Populism. But we
wish to warn in time the many
reformers who desire to stick to
Democracy.
Governor Tillman’s recent
utterances at St. Louis and Sen
ator Irby’s only speech in the
Senate, which was made last
week, show very clearly that
they are not too much in love
with Democracy and are ready
to go into another party if the
majority of the white people
will follow them, but this we
believe most of the reformers
will refuse to do.

The house of George Kosmat,
near Minot, lud., was destroyed
by fire on Thursday night and
his four sons were burned to

The White Caps in the South
west are stil 1 mak ing war against

following notice is stuck on the
gins: “Under penalty of burn
ing don’t run this gin till cotton
is worth 10 cents a pound”. The
threats of the White Caps are

Explanation from Our Harttville
Corratpondent.
Editor Darlington Newt:
Doubtless your readers would
like to know what has become
of the “pond controversy” be
tween the editor of the Messen
ger and your correspondent, and
the facts in the case briefly sta
ted will probubly not be amiss.
At the request of the editor of
the Messenger I wrote recently
for his paper a communication
explaining my position and his
promise was that he would also
make an explanation and then
let the matter drop. I wrote
the communication thinking
this would be the end, and, so
far as we are concerned, it will
be the end, but we deem it only
justice to us to let The News,
where the controversy started,
know how the matter now
stands. The editor of the Mes
senger failed to keep his prom
ise, for, instead of making an
explanation, he made further
unjust criticisms upon us. He
admits that there was a body of
water there but refuses to call
it a “pond;” well, so far as the
writer is concerned, the editor
may call it a lake, savanna, ba
you, ocean, or anything else he
pleases—the writer still calls it
a pond and so does everybody
else who has to ride through it.
He says prominent physicians
claim that the water is not un
healthy. We only stated it as
our opinion that it was unheal
thy and, with all due deference
to the “prominent physicians,”
we are of the same opinion still.
: in conclusion we will say that
we have never made any apolo
gies as the Messenger alleges,
nor will we. We have said that
we are sorry if anything we
have written has done anybody
harm; more than this we have
not said, nor will say. The on
ly apologies made were made
by the editor of the Messenger
to us, when he “took back”
what he said, both in a letter
and in conversations. Now,
will he do the manly thing and
make the same apologies in the
public prints ? We have no de
sire to prolong the controversy
and this will be the only just
way to put an end to it.

Hartsville, Oct H.
A Vila Lla la tha Plllarj.
Weeks before the royal wadding it
was openly whimpered that the Bake of
York, a gallant sailor and a gentleman,
had made a faUe step, had been forget
ful of his princely and knightly duties
md obligations, and had, in fact, been
eeoretly married and involved himself in
a mesalliance, repugnant to his sense of
honor and illep 1 in the eyes of the well
known statute Hw. That law is simple.
None of our bio id royal can legally con
tract marriage without the consent of
the reigning sovereign. Morganatic
marriages have been recognized as such,
and such love inspired sanctity as at
taches to these unions when faithfully
adhered to. The world knows all about
them and sympathizes with them. But
what said the quidnuncs, the tattlers,
the irresponsible, the chattering spar
rows who build under the eaves of pal-
£C6B?
Blankly this, that George of Wales
was married;’tl at the niune of the place
and the name ef the lady, alleged to be
the daughter of a naval officer of high
degree, were known, and both names
and places chaqged and fluctuated as the
price of scandal shares rose or fell in the
goesip market. Like ill winds, the ugly
rufnor grew apt.ee over the dinner table
and afternoon teapot. Men talked of It
—more shame to them—women mur
mured it with giggles and innuendo; the
very •‘outsider*' , got hold of it, and all
the time the story was positively and ab
solutely untrue. Think you for an in-
sptnt that the head of our church would
have married oar prince and prim
bad he not first satisfied himself, as we
have reason to know he did, that the
silly story was wholly untrue, absolutely
baseless? The question carries its own
answer. We contradict it directly with
authority.—London Gentlewoman.
Why They Would Not Klu the Stone.
A corresj>ondent is guilty of being the
originator of the following joke: “Many
people would not kiss the Blarney stone
at the World’s fair if they knew it was
merely a sham-rock.” — Philadelphia

“That grave on the right hand of the
path as you go down to the porch door,
that heap of airth with no growth, not

Pooley’s grave that was hanged unjust-

“Why, you see, sir, they got poor
Will down to Bodmin, all among stran
gers, and there were bribery and false
swearing, and an unjust judge came
down—and the jury all bad rascals, tin
and copper men—and so they all agreed
together, and they hanged poor Will.
But his friends begged the body and
brought the corpse home here to his own
parish, and they turfed the grave, and
they sowed the grass 20 times over, but
'twas all no use, nothing would ever
grow—he was banged unjustly.”
