The Legislature has passed the Congressional redistricting biM and Charleston has been put in a district with an overwhelm ing negro majority. Charleston had two grevious faults in the eyes of the “reformers”. The city is opposed to Tillman and has always elected a Conserva tive Congressman. For these sins there must be punishment. The “reformers” had rather have a negro to represent Char leston’s district than a white man who is an anti-Tillmanite The influence of a Conservative Congressman at Washington thwarts the “reformers” in their gready grasp for federal pap. so a negro must take his place. Charleston would not bend the knee to t h e dictator, so she must suffer the humiliation of having a negro to represent her in Congress and her great com mercial interests must be seri ously impaired. If this be “re form”, spare us from further re formation. It is needless to repeat the history of noble Charleston; it i» familiar to everyone. Her people are of our own blood; they are our brothers, for we are sons of the same mother. Charlestonians are as good peo ple as ever blessed a commun ity. In every peril that has threatened South Carolina they have been loyal to the State, and will continue so. Has the old city bravely stood the fires of war, the convulsions of earth and the storms of wind and wave only to be sacrificed, cruelly sacrificed, by people that should be bound to her by every tie ? If this be “reform”, spare us from further reformation. Down in Orangeburg there is a man hungry for a soft seat in Congress at $5,000 a year. He is loudmouthed for “reform” and J. Billy Stokes in his name. But unfortnately for Billy he lived in the Charleston district and Charleston would not elect him to Congress. This was too bad for the hungry office seeker. So ardent a leader of “reform” should have an office as all the other leaders of the “great movement” got what they were after—fat jobs. So Charleston was turned over to the tender mercies of the negroes and Billy may yet go to Congress. The commercial interests of our metropolis are seriously hamp ered by the change and what effects her interests effects the interests of the State. But this counts for naught when a “re former” must be rewarded. If this be “reform”, spare us from further reformation. * * * The Columbia Register is the “ weak but willing” organ of “reform” It has faithfully served the cause, but, neverthe less, it is now financially em barrassed and needs some pap to keep it alive. The “reform- •fs” to whom it has cringed in ill servility are not quick enough with their pocket-books, so the State must help. The Legisla ture creates the office of public printer (mind you, it promised to reduce the number of offices) id elects the proprietor ot the Register to the position. Com petition is shut off and the compensation of the public printer is fixed at a certain rate, notwithstanding the fact that another printing house offered to do the work at figures rang ing from eight to seventy per cent cheaper. This is but a re turn to the old public printing scandal of radical days. Several thousands of dollars of the pub lic money is taken from the public treasury to support the “weak but willing” organ. If this be “refonh,” spare us from further reformation. * * * The spy is now permitted to enter one’s house in search for juor. The person-' B lioerties of the been taken from' i privacy of his home tity of his fireside have been destroyed. His house is no longer his castle, for the door must be opened for the obnoxious spy whenever it may please him to obtrude upon the household. The freedom of our people is gone. If this be “re form,” spare us from further reformation. * * * Not content with clothing the spy with a most extraordinary power never before given any officer in a land of freedom, the Legislature exempts him from the usual liability for damages, a privilege which no man should enjoy, because it removes all re straint upon unlawful acts. Even if you speak to a spy in uncomplimentary terms,youwill be punished for showing disre spect to that gracious person. The spy is privileged to do what he pleases. No man has hereto fore enjoyed that right in South Carolina and it remains for the “reformers” to give it to the spy. If this be “reform,” spare us from further reformation. * « * Three State bars may now be located in each county. Under the first dispensary law in order to a secure dispensary a major ity of the people had to petition for it, but now a majority of the people have to petition against it in order to prevent the estab lishment of a State bar. The law is changed in favor of those wishing the State to sell liquor and the burden of keeping down the whiskey traffic is put upon those opposed to it. This is a step backwards, yet the “reform ers” claim that the dispensary is a step towards the prohibition demanded by the people at the last election. If this be “re form”. spare us from further re formation. * • * Able and upright Judges, who have served the State long and faithfully, are displaced by new and untried men whose on ly claim to the positions is that they are “reformers.” The judiciary, the safeguard of the people has been lowered into politics. If this be “reform,” spare us from further reforma- To Our Customers of the Pee Dee Section: We have decided here after to conduct our business in your terri tory direct with buyers.

This means endless litiga tion and the expenditure of large sums of the people’s money, yet the “reformers” promised to cut down expenses. If this be “reform”, sparo us from further reformation. * * * The dictator cracked his whip and whatever he said must be the law the Legislature made it the law. The people’s interests were not considered. If this be “reform”, spare us from further reformation. * * * The Darlington “reform” del egation voted for nearly if not all of these abuses. If this be "reform”, spare us from further reformation. A GOOD APPOINTMENT. The President last week ap pointed Congressman W. H. Brawley, of Charleston, Judge of the United States District Court for South Carolina. While Judge Hudson was the choice of the bar of Darlington and of the lawyers generally throughout the State for this position, Ma jor Brawley’s appointment gives eminent satisfaction. He is a man of great ability and is a Democrat of the old school. He has received his share of abuse from the “reformers” and we do not suppose the appointment is pleasing to that faction.

The Caligraph is recognized everywhere as the most simple and most durable typewriter. It is easily learned, does beautiful wotk, and will last a decade, if properly cared for. In speed contests it has repeatedly taken first place and in telegraphic work has nevei been excelled. For manifold work it has no superior. With interchangable parts the Caligraph is well nigh indestructible.
