SPARE US FROM SUCH "REFORM".
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-

The charters of railroads and
other corporations are to be re
pealed, if they resist paying
what they consider unjust tax
es. 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.

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.

It is now
^ Thirteen years since the

Lwas first put upon the mar-

responded faithfully to
what is required of a first-class writing machine.
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. The expe
rience of business men, ministers, telegraphers,
short-hand schools and government departments all
go to prove that the Caligraph is without a peer.
