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

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. \

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-
