D. Woods, of Darlington, in which he gives some unanswerable reasons why .the white people of South Carolina cannot con sistently take part in the new movement which has been be gun to reorganize the Republi can party in South Carolina. For some time past it has been realized that this effort would be made along lines never be fore attempted, and that owing to the complicated condition of our State politics, it would be made this time with some show of success. While, in our judg ment, the defection which it will cause from the Democratic ranks could never be large un der any circumstances, there are conditions existing at present which tend to make the situa tion graver than it would other wise be. The “Lily White" Republi cans, as they have been aptly termed, argue that the negro will never again be a political factor of any importance in South Carolina, and that there is no reason why a white Re publican party could not be formed in the State. The neces city for it at this time, they say, is apparent, for the two factions of the Democratic party are so far apart that they cannot con tinue much longer as component parts of the same political body The missionary spirit manifest ed by those who have assumed the leadership of the new move ment is already bearing fruit. A club of white Republicans, composed chiefly of those- who have but recently left the Dero- cratic party, was organized in Columbia recently. A similar club has since been formed in Laurens, and the leaders of the movement say they have assur ances that Greenville is to “fol low suit” at an early day. Mr. Woods lays it down as a general proposition that “Those who propose making this change of faith may be, for all practi cal purposes, divided into two classes; one going over with the hope of political preferment, the other erring 'conscientiously, but none the less ignorantly or thoughtlessly, on this account.” It is to this latter class alone, as Mr. Woods truly says, that argument need be addressed ;for, “the first being actuated by en tirely selfish consideration and the desire to be on the winning side are not amenable to argu ment and are only deserving of either contempt for their lack of principle or pity for their weakness.” But surely even this class must realize fully that the presence of any considerable number of representative South era men within the Republican ranks would be an anomaly. The very bed-rook on which that party was founded (as a Northern historian puts it), was that it might “net without the embarrassment of a Southern wing.” It was formed for the purpose of “whipping” the South, and after the object had been gained for which it was brought into existence, it has continued, as a party, up to the present day, hostile to the South and to all the interests of this section. It put the negro over the white man in South Caro lina, and held him there as long again as it could, and it will do the ~ same thing again if ever it gets the chance. The Democratic party is the only one that truly represents the po.itical faith that has been handed down to us from our fathers. It is the correct exponent of political thought that has always existed in the South, and we expect to stand by it to the end. Amisa Malvt. lye in the world Hi.... for Cuts, Bruises, Sores.

Bad Schedulss on tha G. A D. Road. [Cheraw Cor., News and Courier.] The Atlantic Coast' Line still continues to treat Cheraw very shabbily - as to the miserable schedule which is inflicted on the people. The fertilizer freight is now so tremendous that the train anives several hours late every day and Thursday the train did not leave Cheraw for Wadesboro until 4.45 in the af ternoon when it should have left at 11.35 A. M. Returning from Wadesboro it arrived in Cheraw after 9 o’clock and did not leave until about 9 30, thus causing those who wanted to go to Charleston or Columbia to miss connections with their titlins. This miserable arrange ment will probably continue for the next month with more or less intensity each day until the people become thoroughly dis gusted. If the railroad- com panies cannot afford to give us a passenger train every day why can’t they put on one three times a week, or, if they can’t afford so much as that why can’t they indulge the travel ling public for a month with a daily passenger train at a time when they have such an enor mous quantity of fertilizers to haul? One thing is certain, however, our people have suffer ed long enough and it is high time something was being done for their relief. Perhaps when the Seaboard Air Line and the South Bound bqjld their line from Cheraw to Columbia the Atlantic Coast Line may begin to think a little more about ac commodating the people of Che raw and surrounding country. If Railroad Commissioner Evans would interest himself in the schedule on the Cheraw and Darlington as much as he did in one on the Charleston, Sumter and Northern a short time ago he might be able to do some thing for us- But the shoe pinches Mr. Evans himself in the latter case and that prompt ed him to hustle. jail. “Cy” Sulloway undertook to defend them, and so interest ed did he become in their cause that soon afterward he joined the army and married one of the Salvation Army lassies, “Water won’t run up hill,” but if anything could coax it to do so a well worded ad would.

[Chicago Times Herald.] Governor Bob Stewart, who was the chief executive of Mis souri once and afterward United States senator from that state, had a’ strange career. During his gubernatorial in cumbency he was one day look ing through the penitentiary at Jefferson City when he saw among the convicts an aged man whom he recognized. On the following day he sent to the warden of the prison orders to have that man brought to the executive mansion. When the man appeared, the governor, calling him by name, asked him if he hadn’t once been the mate of a Missouri river steamboat. The convict admitted that he had been, and then the following conversation ensued, the governor beginning: “Do you remember at one time of having taken blankets away from a boy who was a stowaway* on the boat and kick ing him asnore?” “The circumstance doesn’t recur to me now, but doubtless I did it. A steamboat mate in those days had to be consider able of a brute.” “Yes, sir, and you filled the bill admirably. I wvas the boy you robbed and kicked ashore very near to this capital city, and thus I became enabled to give you your pardon. Here, sir, take it. Now, right about. March out of that door and off these premises, and never let | me see your brutal told face UNFORTUNATE CHARLESTON. Governor Evans has at last carried out his long promised throat of imposing the odious 'metropolitan police” system on Charleston. The circum stances under which he took the step point strongly to the conclusion that hewas influenced by a desire to reinstate in office one of his followers'who had been displaced. The new May or of Charleston is to be con gratulated on the pluck he dis k>1>referring to have the ▼eageonce inflict- The ola convict walked away quite briskly for one of his age. A little while ago a senator told me that one day about the close of the war, or perhaps a little later, he was walking down Pennsylvania avenue in Washington with another sen ator when his companion ab ruptly called his attention to a rather distinguished looking man in a gang of laborers who were cleaning the streets, and I think he said under police sur veillance. “Do you know who that man is?” the second senator asked. “No.” “Well, that is ex Governor and ex Senator Bob Stewart, of Missouri. He was -bf a convi vial nature, and the conviviali ties of Washington proved too much for him.” N' NOTICE! OTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN THAT _ the copartnership heretofore ex isting in Darlington, S.
