. V' Why TH«7 The Post reproduced yeeter- day from the Louisville ( Courier Journal a strikiuR editorial call ing attention to the absence from active participation in the campaign of most of the old sil ver leaders. ▲naved on the side of silver heretofore have been Vest and Oockerill, of Missouri, Harris and Bate, of Tennessee. Morgan, of Alabama, Turpie and Voor- hees, of Indiana, Morrill, of Missouri, Pugh, of Alabama, Blanchard, of Louisiana, Reagan, of Texas, Daniel of Virginia and Berry of Arkansas. They are silver men still. The conversion of not one of them has not been noted. These sen ators have all been regarded as representative Southern de mocrats in the past. The strength of the silver movement lay in the confidence which their names insnired. Many Southerners have been unable to believe that these leaders have lost their clear heads or that they have turned deaf ears to the voice of conscience. They were expected to lead the silver movement in behalf of demo cratic silver men and thousands of sound money democrats, trusting in their wisdom, have been willing to set aside their own convictions and join the procession. But where are these men now? How often have you who read this, seen Isham Harris’ name in print since the Chicago con vention adjourned? Tillman roars in Pennsylvania and rants in North Carolina, but is Daniel speaking in Mavland? Every newspaper which tells of the utterances of Bryan speaks of the actions of Altgeld. What about Vest? Populist Marion Butler flits from city to cicy in nervous agitation about the de mocaatic candidate. Turpie is quiet. In the ‘‘democratic” campaign Debs and even Coxey are conspicuous, but from these silver leaders of the former “de mocracy” like Cockerill and Pugh comes not a word. Why? The reason is simple. They are not populists. They advocate free coinage because it seemed to them a model fiscal reform As the Courier Journal obser ves, they did not desire or expect that its support would commit their party to the panic-breed ing vagaries which the conven tion at Chicago incorporated in the platform. Now, when it is too late, they realize the “de mocracy” is populism through and through, that Tillman and Altgeld and Marion Butler do minate it, that they cannot keep pace with these wild and irre sponsible demagogues, and so they are satisfied to yield the Chicago ticket a silent, lethargic support. They see that “mis chief is afoot,” that their party is ruined and that its leaders are engaged in a desperate ef fort to scatter ruin broadcast in the nation. They are stopp from any effort to check it but at least they will not help to spur it on in its self-destructive career. — Charleston Evening Post. Meeting ef Pm Dm Presbytery. The regular fall meeting of Pee Dee Presbytery was held in the Presbyterian church of Cheraw, beginning October 1st at 8 p. m. and adjourning at 1 o’clock Saturday Oct. 3rd. At the request of Rev. A B McArn, the retiring Moderator, the opening sermon was preach ed by Rev. E. C. Bailey, of Timmonsville. Rev. J. G. Richards, of Blenheim, was elected Moderator, and Elder W. E. James, Temporary clerk. There were 8 ministers and 5 Elders present. Dr. J. W. Me. Kay, of Harmony and Rev. Mr- Siler, of Wadesboro, were in vited to sit and deliberate as corresponding members. Rev. J. W. McClure, of Bethel Pres bytery, presented letters and after the usual examination was enrolled as a member of this Presbytery. Friday morning was taken up in hearing the naratives from the various churches and a “Free Conference on the state of Religion in our bounds.” While these narratives were not as encouraging as could have been wished, yet they gave much encouragement, and showed a marked improve ment in many of our churches. At 12 o’clock, m., a sermon was preached by Rev. D. M. Fulton, of Darlington. Friday night was given to the usual confer ence on Home Missions, and short addresses were made by Rev. Messrs. J. H. Dixon, D. M. Fulton, J. W. McClure, E. C. Bailey and J. G. Richards. Saturday morning was devot ed to the transaction of routine business, and the discussion touching the union of Pee Dee and Harmony Presbyteries, and after much discussion, pro and con, it was decided to notify the synod, “that notwithstand ing a former action of this Presbytery, it was the judge ment of this body, that the union of the two Presbyteries would be for the promotion of the cause of Presbyterians in our bounds.” At 12 m., a ser mon was preached by Rev. A. M. McNaull, of Dillon. The Presbytery then adjourned to meet at the call of the Modera tor at the approaching meeting of Synod in Orangeburg. Tim monsville was chosen as the place, and the first Wednesday night in April as the time, for the next regular meeting. The meeting was a very pleas ant and harmonious one throughout, and eveiy mem ber of the body left with the feeling that the people of Che raw understood now to make the members of a church court feel at home in their midst, and very heartily did each one re spond when the vote of thanks was extended to the pastor and people of the Cheraw church.

Make School Room* Attractive, The Savannah News suggests that school rooms in the future be made more attractive for puplis, as paints and pictures and pottery and plants are very cheap. Historical engravings on the walls would interest the children in history. A few paintings of good selection, would cultivate the sense of color and harmony. A narrow shelf on the top of the black board would carry some cheap copies of busts and statues, which would inculcate a love of the beautiful. From the shelf might be dependeu drapery for the blackboard, which would suggest decoration. Plants from various sections of the country, or the world, in the nooks and corners would create interest in gegraphy and botany. Spec imens of artistic pottery in the room would lead to a more com prehensive knowledge of the industries of the countries from which they came. And the whole would exert a broadening and refined influence upon the mind. The school room would be no longer a place to be dread ed by the young. They would learn to love it, and not to shun it.—Skylond News. Sme a little cash now. Re liable insurance, any kinds—all ■i^every kind. Mrs. Lucy M. N ment. A PATAL JUMP. A Broken Hernree Co»tt a Bennctu- Vllle Partner Hi* Life. Bennettsville, Got. 3.—Mr. Younger Adams, a highly re spected citizen of this county, met with an accident today which cost him his life. He and his nephew were coming to town in a buggy; his nephew doing the driving. When they reached the edge of town and were driving down a small hill, the breeching of the harness broke and the buggy ran on the horse, causing it to run. Mr. Adams attempted to jump out, and in jumping his foot caught in the wheel, which turned his body and threw him on his head and shoulders, the back of his head striking the hard clay ground. Medical aid was im mediately summoned but the case was hopeless. The accident occurred about 12 o’clock and an hour after wards Mr. Adams died. Death was caused by internal fracture of the skull and cerebral hem orrhage. Mr. Adams was a successful farmer of the Adamsville sec tion, about 45 years old and a man of good, sterling qualities. He leaves a wife and daughter to mourn his untimely death. Now is the time for Gin House and Tornado Insurance. Best companies in the world. Mrs. Lucy M. Norment.

Pennsylvania Pitchforks. de- Ex-President Harrison dined to debate the with Tillman a week of two ago, with the pungent remark that he “had no pitchfork. Hitherto Tillman has enjoyed a monopoly of that appropriate implement for the porterage of his abuse. But in Reading, which, for all he knows may be the capital of New Jersey, he stumbled up against an au dience of Democratic farmers, who appear to have attended the county fair armed with forks, long handled and acute of time. They knew intuitive ly what they were to encounter, it seems, for when the foul- mouthed Populist denounced the Democrats of the North as thievees and robbers the stauch Pennsylvanians fell on him and drove him from the platform with the weapons of his choice. The improved reading suggest ed, doubtless, by Mr. Bryan to his South Carolina guide is that “they who take up the pitch- fork shall perish by the pitch fork.” Tillman has adopted the ancient and familiar tactics of the knave who cries “Stop thief!” to cover his own retreat, but South Carolina is the only State in which they will serve. Now that the Pennsylvania far mere havo shown the way, Till man’s oratorical future prom ues to be full of animation and movement.—New York Adver tiser. Two Lives Saved. Mrs.Phoebe Thomas, of Junc tion City, 111. was told by hos doctors she had Cosumpt nby and that there wasn hope r p t her, but two bottlen Dr. Kingyt New Discovery if completelt cured her and she says it save her life.
