THE DEMOCRATIC -WATERLOO.” The November elections show that a perfect “landslide” has taken place in favor of the Re publicans, just ns it did two years ago in favor of the Demo crats when Cleveland beat Har rison. Hill has been overwhel mingly defeated in New York, and even old North Carolina has joined the Republican col umn. The Republican majority in the House is fully as large as the Democratic one has been for the last two years, and “Czar Reed” will again preside over that august body. The Senate, too, will be under the control of the victorious Republicans. We cannot say that we are sorry; we never expected to li ve to see the day when we could utter such a sentiment in regard to a severe defeat of the Democratic party, but these are truly "re cord-breaking” times we are liv ing in. The Democratic party an i its leaders havs only them selves to blame for this political “Waterloo.” For the past two years they have had the execu tive department of the govern ment, as well as both branches of the legislative, absolutely un der their control. It was their’s to make or mar the party’s his tory during that time, and their mistakes followed so closely on each other that it seemed some times as if they tried to make them. It is hard to feel that one’s partyloyaltyisgradually slipping away from him, but some thing of the kind must inevitably be the case when we can view the result in New York, in particu lar, with equanimnity. But how could it be otherwise? The re gret we would feel at the loss to the party of the pivotal State at this critical juncture is surely tempered by our knowledge of the fact that it is accompanied by the overthrow of Hill and the “machine” politics of which he is the exponent. Such a lesson as is here inculcated cannot fail to have a salutary effect—an ef fect, too, which may prove suf ficiently far-reaching to result finally in smashing “the ma chine” in *other States besides New York. Let us hope that we may live to see the day when that lesson is thoroughly learn ed in South Carolina. not at fault. For surely, in the absence of anything in bis past career to warrant it, the choice must have falh-n upon Mr. Evans because of his leader’s belief in the promise he gave for the fu ture. The coming two years will show whether or not that promise is to be fulfilled. In the mean time, while enjoying the rest afforded by the two years of immunity from politics which our people stand so much in need of, let us accept the inevit able as philosophically as pos sible, standing ready to up-hold the hands of the new Qovernor when he tries to do right, so that the responsibility for the success or failure of the admin istration of the high office which has fallen to him will rest with him alone. er who sells his crop at prevail ing prices, unless forced to do so to meet his obligations, is throwing away his money. THE NEW QOVERNOR. And so Mr. John Gary Evans is to be the next Governor of South Carolina! Tux News pre dicted two years ago that he would be, not that we recogniz ed in him any higher qualifica tions for the discharge of the duties of that high office than were to be found in several thousand other young South Corolinians of average ability; but it was seen, even then, that Tillman was getting ready to cast his mantle upon him, and we knew that would settle it. It needed not that Mr. Evans should work his way up from the ranks higher and higher until at last he should receive as his reward for signal services rendered the State this crowning honor at the hands of his fellow- citizens: it was only necessary for Tillman to endorse him, and in our (judgment, if he had chosen to endorse some less prominent individual, the result would have been the same: his word was law. Mr. Evans has an opportunity before him which falls to the lot of few men at his time of life. Though elected by a faction, he will be the Governor of the whole people, and if, in recogn ition of that fact, he conducts his administration’ v on a broad and liberal basis, baftwill vindi cate the conduct or Hiose who supported him on amount of their laith in his patron, and will show to the world that the that patron was Th* Killing of Jim King. [News and Courier.] Florence, Nov. 8. Special: The whole city was startled this morning when it was announced that young Jim King, son of County CommiHsiouerJ. W.King had been killed last night by a switch engine in the freight yard in this city. It was n hor'- rible tragedy and yet a purely accidental one. The facts are that young King was employed by the Coast Line as a switchman about a month ago, He had become perfect’y familiar with the duties of his position and gave perfect satis faction to his employers. Last night shortly after the arrival of train No 84, the Columbia through freight, the yard force began the work of shifting the train. It was about 1.52 this morning when the switch engine in charge of Engineer Eawin Layton backed out of the siding and voung King changed the switch ana signed his engineer to go ahead. Young King start ed across the track ahead of the engine, which was pushing three box cars down the mam line near the Cheraw & Darlington crossing. In going across the track ahead of the cars it is sup posed that he tripped over the rail and fell, two of the cars pas sing over the body before the signal was given by the coupler to stop. The body was horribly cut and bruised by the wheels. Bill Williams, the coupler, told the Times reporter that he saw young King start across the track with his light in his hand, but did not notice which way he went. He heard the wheels run over something,and instant ly thought of poor young King. He instantly signaled the engin eer down, but it was too late, for when he got to where the body was lying he saw the blood running so freely that he instant ly called the engineer. The bod- y was taken out and carried to the City Hotel, several physicins summoned, but life was then extinct. The coroner was notified, viewed the remains and ordered the body prepared for burial. Mr. King’s father, who lives at Ebenezer, was sent for and ar rived here shortly before day light. In the meantime kind friends looked after the body. The remains were taken to Pis- gah Church this afternoon and interred at 4 o’clock. The coro ner held an inquest todaj and the verdict was that James H. King came to his death by being run over by some cars, and that it was purely accidental, and no blame rests upon the engineer, crew or the company. Mr. King was a clever young man and was well known here. He had reached the age of 22 last August, was the only son of Mr. and Mrs. J. W. King and was the idol of their hearts. He leaves a father, mother, several sisters and a large circle of friends to grieve over bis un timely end. He was a member of Pisgah Church six miles above here. \ Cotton Nsarly All Hsrvsstod. [News and Courier.] Dillon, Nov. 7.—Special: I have just completed a canvass of Marion, Marlboro, Chester field, Darlington, Florence and Horry Counties, and never be fore have I seen the cotton crop so nearly harvested at this sea son of the year. I talked with a number of farmers in these counties and the consensus of opinion was that 90 per cent of the crop had been gathered, and tnat it had been sold as fast as ginned. One of the largest buyers at Bennettsville said that he had never seen the farmers hold so little cotton as they were hold ing this season, and believed that 85 per cent of the Marlboro crop had been sold by Nov. 1. An old farmer told me he had never seen the crop open so ear ly nor labor more satisfactory in gathering i}. One of the largest and most successful planters in the Little Rock sec tion sold about half of this year’s crop before the price got below six cents. These facts are given in support of the advice you gave the farmers some time ago to hold their cotton. Tne farm- Ags Improves It.
