The action of the State au thorities in preventing a speedy solution of the liquor question will not meet with the approval of anybody. So much bad feel ing, friction and bloodshed have already been caused by the question that the people are thoroughly tired of it an 1 wish it settled one way or another, and that, too, as soon as possi ble. They are weary of so much contention and will wel come any solution that will bring a surcease from the un certainty and apprehension arising from it Things are badly mixed and wo know not what to expect nex,. It is harassing to be in doubt as to where we stand and to feel that our condition is so unsettled that at any time the politicians may again stir up the whole matter from the bot tom for their own advancement and to the detriment of peace. A "clincher” should be put up on the recent Supreme Court de cision. The people have a right to know whether prohibition, free liquor or the old license system prevails. They wish an end put to animosity and fratri cidal strife and fear that har mony cannot be obtained until the liquor question is settled. Hence they demand that the politicians stand aside that an amicable adjustment may be reached. Governor Tillman’s action in thwarting all test cases that would put an end to our unfor tunate condition is very repre hensible. He is wrong when he says it is not his business to find a solution of the difficulty, for he is the servant of the peo ple and should use every means at his command to free them from their present predicament, and he makes the wrong greater when he undertakes to thwart citizens who are seeking a peaceful end to the matter. His objection to test cases is also in consistent. Several years ago when he wanted the validity of the new bonds settled he had a test case made. The Supreme Court heard the case one night and the next day rendered its decision. Why does not the Governor show the same zeal to have the liquor question settled? But worst of all he is giving his authority a great stretch, to say the least of it, when he orders trial justices to release men they have arrested for selling liquor. From what we can learn we have great hopes of our people coming together again if the politicians will let them alone. But to have harmony and unity again prevail, order must be re stored from the present chaos. In the efforts to bring this about no interference for political pur poses should be countenanced. The safety of the Common wealth is at stake and we need just now patriots not politic ians. ••THE LESSON OF THE HOUR. 1 A Prominent Reformer Endorses the Position of this Paper. The following endorsement of the position taken by this paper in regard to the present politi cal condition is appreciated the more because it comes from a J irominent member of the Re- orm faction: Editor Darlington News: I have read with gratification your editorial in a recent issue, entitled “The Lesson of the Hour,” but circumstances over which I had no control prevent ed me from sooner writing to give it my endorsement. I think your suggestion both timely and sensible and I heart ily concur with you when yon you say that “it behooves every patriotic citizen to use his ut most endeavors to restrain our { >olitical differences within their egitimate limits,” etc. I am for peace first, last and always and especially here among our selves. Let us be law-abiding, peaceful citizens and may God speed the day when good will and happiness shall be -e-estab- iished in our county and State. 1 speak from the standpoint of a Reformer and I think 1 voice the sentiments of many others of the same political faith when I say I most earnestly de sire to “let by gones be by gones” and let us shake hands and be once more a united and happy people. Hoping that a recurrence of our recent unpleasantness may never disgrace our dear old Pal metto State, I should say broth er, friend, neighbor, let us all in the future accord to everyone his own political convictions without impugning the same and let us work together for the peace and prosperity of our country.

L' Current Events at Cypress—A New Doctor and Drug Store. Miss Maggie Rollins, of Tim- monsville, is visiting friends at this place. Most of the public roads in this section have been worked and put in good condition. Dr. J. M. Josey’s new barn and stable is nearing comple tion. It is a model building and its like is rarely seen in the country. A public road has been open ed from the Timmonsville road to the Lamar road through Mr. Boyd DuBose’s plantation. It will be a great convenience to the travelling public. Dr. C. W. Harris who grad uated a few weeks ago at Van derbilt University, Nashville, Tenn., passed his examination before the State Medical Board last week and has located here for the practice of his profes sion, in connection with which he will run a drug store. We wish the young doctor every success. A heavy storm passed over this section on Sunday after noon, but we have heard of no damage having been done. Ram was badly needed to bring up good stands of cotton and it just came in time to save the oat crop, which was suffering much and which looks as if it will be a short crop at best on account of the freeze about a month ago. LAMAR. To-morrow (Friday) is Child ren’s Day at Newman Swamp. The oat crop in this section is ooking well and bids fair for a good crop. Mr. E. C. Reynolds has erect ed a very neat dwelling on his farm near where the old one stood, which was burned down some months ago. Died on the 24th. inst., near Lamar, Mrs. Mary Watford, aged 76 years. Her remains were interred at Salem on the following day. Mrs. Watford leaves a host of friends, and re latives to mourn her loss. A musical was given at the residence of Mr. G. W. Stith on the evening of the 24th., which far excelled any thing of the kind ever given in Lamar. The music was rendered by Prof. J. L. Massey, of Lancaster, and Miss Claudia Cox, of Carters ville. PHILADELPHIA. The oat crop is very sorry ant wheat is almost a failure. A good rain now would com plete our stands of cotton. Mr C. W. Stewart boasts of having the finest corn in the county. The death of the dispensary caused a mighty slaughter among our political bigots and a better feeling seems to pre vail. Messrs. Parrott and Munn have their machinery on the spot and will soon be sawing lumber. How can the building enterprise stop? The building boom continues Mr. W. A. Dowling has erected for himself a spacious barn af ter the modern fashion. Mr. M. N. Gray is building one also. Quite a number of our peo attended the Sunday School Conference at Wesley Chapel last week, and all report having both a pleasant and profitable time. On the 18th. ult. death visitec our community and took awa; Mrs. Elizabeth, wife of Mr. N. Galloway. She had for long time been a rheumatic suffer but her death was a sur prise to many of her friends, as ner last illness was very short Besides the husband two children remain to mourn the sad loss. They have sympathy of the community. ‘Z SWIFT CREEK. Miss Eunice Broom, visiting in of Dar- this sec- MARRIED. At the residence of the bride’s father by Rev. J. E.
