Habu.ee, of Florence, is mentioned for It nil road Commis sioner to fill the vacancy caused by the death of Gov. Bonham. Miss Florence Hurst, of Sum ter, has sent in her application to the Southern Missionary Board to be ap pointed a missionary to Mexico. Col. Asbuky Coward has been elected Superintendent of the Citadel to succeed Gen. George Johnson. Col. Coward is and educator of na tional reputation, and loth the State and the institution over which he has been chosen to preside are to be congratulated upon securing his services. The N •‘wherry Observer observes that another interesting census might lie taken next November that would be of particular interest to the far mers—a census to ascertain how many third-rate lawyers and other small politicians shall have got them selves into nice little offices by pre tending to be the special “friends of the farmers.” An Historical Document. Mr. J. M. Waddill, of Society Hill, is undoubtedly, if not the chief lead er, one of the chief leaders of the Tillmauites in this county. Now, in the political revolution of 1876, the Democratic Executive Commit tee of this county prepared an accu rate list of all voters, noting the PARTY TO WHICH EACH BELONGED, and, for convenient use, had it print ed. A few copies have been pre served, and the little book is now an interesting historical record. Look ing through it, one finds in the list for what was then Hamilton (now Society Hill) Township the name of J. M. Waddill, with this significant addition: “(Had.)” How quickly we forget! In a time of political excitement, how prone people are to pardon political and other sins in one who shouts vigorously for their side! Now that the excitement is cooling off, will it not be well for the people to reflect over the above mor sel of political history? If the ‘•(Rad.)” was misapplied by the Committee, Mr. Waddill should be able to explain and correct the mis take. He cannot complain that his self-sought prominence in the present campaign has lead to an inquiry into his political record. Young Hyson Teas, 40c, JiOc and 75c. WEST & HONOUR. Peterson’s Magazine. “The Best for the Ladies,” one only needs to look at the September number of “Peterson" to decide that it is the best magazine for ladies. The fashions are always accurate and novel, and the varied departments are kept up to the highest standard. Lovers of good literature will always find gratification for their tastes in the fiction, poetry and miscellaneous articles. This number lias an illustrated article on Bamboo furniture, full of use ful suggestions and artistic designs, and a paper on the preservation of Autumn leaves will delight all Howcr lovers. Two serials are running, as unlike as they arc original and interesting, and the short stories are all worthy of commendation. “Things Worth Knowing” is for the ben efit of housekeepers this month, and Dr. Abram Livezy has an article on children’s diseases which every mother ought to read.

More Candidates Needed. Gov. Richardson has appointed ,. . .. . i.. congress from this district, two Democrats as Commissioners to e the World’s Fair. When asked by t he President why he had not named a Democrat and a Republican, as re quired by law, he replied that there was not a Republican in this State to whom he could trust so important a mission. We have no greater admiration for B. R. Tillman to-day than we had a month ago. He may be Governor of this great State, but thousands of its Wst citizens have no faith in his honesty and will not vote for him under any circumstances. He not the man for the place, but the ‘•common people” will not find it out until too late to remedy the evil. The Florence Messenger truthful ly remarks: “It is the opinion of many if that Hon. G. W. Dargan would consent to make the race for Congress against Col. Stackhouse he could beat tbe latter out of his boots. Mr. Dargan has made us an able and faithful representative and the peo ple recognize it and are loath to give him up. We all know him and know what to exnect of him. We know that all our interests, when entrusted to his care, will be alike taken care of and protected under all circum stances. With Col. Stackhouse it is different. He goes to Congress (if he goes at all) only in the interest of certain measures. The balance must take their chances.” If we are not mistaken Col. E. T. Stackhouse is the only candidate for As effi cient and as capable a man as Col. Stackhouse might be in some posi tions lie is not the man for congress, and, therefore, the other men in the district who aspire to political honors should not tamely give up the field to him. Col. Stackhouse, of course, is the Alliance candidate, but that is not an insuperable barrier against lion. George Johnstone has beaten Col. D. K. Norris, the Alliance can didate, in the third district; there fore, why is it hot possible for as able a man as Mr. Johnstone to defeat ,s ; Col. Stackhouse, whom we do not consider a man of as much ability as Col. Norris. Have a Complete and Handsome Stock of R. L. DARGAN & CO., Book Seilers and Stationers, DARLINGTON, S. C. The Grec iville News says the State Exchange of the Farmers’ Alliance has ordered one million yards of bag ging for the coming cotton crop of ■this State, and shipments of it are now being made to points in the State. The demand is greater than the supply, the crop being about ten ■days earlier than usual. Only a por tion of the cotton crop of this State will be covered with cotton bagging, a new covering made of sugar sacks sewed together, having been ordered by the Alliance Exchange. This bagginglfe said to be better than jute or cotton bagging. The Exchange has ordered this bagging from three concerns, which employ hundreds of young women to sew the sacks to gether. DEMOCRACY’S COURSE. Its Attitude Towards the Alli ance Clearly Defined. We heartily endorse the following from the National Democrat, pub lished at Washington, D. C., and recommend it to the careful consid eration of our people: We are receiving letters inquiring as to what will be the course we pro pose to pursue in regard to the Far mers’ Alliance movement, which has become such a prominent feature in the polities of the country. There can be no uncertainty as to the atti tude of a national Democratic news paper in this matter. We sympa thize with the legitimate aims and purposes of the Farmers’ movement, and shall do all in our power to aid In securing the benefits of which the agricultural element in our popula tion stands in such great need. In these aims we cannot, of course, in clude the sub-treasury or warehouse scheme, which the leaders of the party in Congress have so fully dis cussed in our columns. That is an un-Democratic and impracticable plan calculated to do the farmers in justice if it could be carried ouL So far as the Farmers’Alliance connects itself with the choice of candidates for public offices, we are in favor of it when it undertakes to support Democratic candidates and Demo cratic principles, and opposed to it when it takes ground against them. And if it shall appear, that selfish and unscrupulous men, having no sympathy with the Democratic party and in reality bitterly opposed to it, have obtained influential offices in the Alliance organizations and are seeking to destroy our organization and prevent us from obtaining con trol of the government, we shall not hesitate to expose their character and their conduct, and to Ao all in our power to prevent them frtyi carrying •ut their evil scheme-. v v The Convention. The State Convention meets to day in Columbia, and, as everybody knows, a large majority of the dele gates are pledged to Tillman. If the majority are conservative and con tent with running the convention in a decent and orderly manner, which they did not do in August, they will secure the good will of many of the Anfla; hut if, iia we oxpeet:, they un dertake to rim rough shod over the minority and revolutionize things generally, they will encounter the censure and, it may he, the opj>osi- tion of some of their most conservative men not te speak of the Antis. The eyes of the whole people are upon this convention and upon its action much depends for the future of the State. On page 10 of the Premium List of the State Agricultural and Mechanical Socie ty for the present year, will he found the offer of Premiums amounting in the ag gregate to $500, for the Counties making the host display of County Products, to be shown at the Fair November 10, 1890. The requirements arc: “To tlie Coun ty making the Rest and Largest Display of Products grown or produced by resi dents of the County, Pcmiums will he awarded as follows: 1st Premium, $230j 2nd Premium, $150; 3rd Premium $100— In all, $300. All Grain must he shown in quantities not less than one-half bushel. The Judges making tlieawanl in this con test, will consider first, Quality; second, Quantity ; third. Variety; and fourth, Ar rangement. Articles for the Conntydis- play will not count in the Individual Premium.” I heg that you call special attention to this feature, and urge your County to he a competitor in the contest. Aside from the money involved, County pride should stimulate our farmers to enter heartily into the matter, and thus show the pro gress of Agriculture in our State. I take it that the most effective plan would he for the several County Allian ces from the Sub-Alliances, to canvass the matter at an early day, and thus become organized, so that by the first of Novem- liereach County will lie able to know what will tie shown, and at what Railroad Sta tion shipments will be made. Railroads require prepayment of freight, hut upon its return to the original point of shipment, with the Certificate of the Secretary that the same had been on ex hibition, the amount will he refunded. I will he pleased to furnish a copy of the Premium List to all who may apply to Titos. AY. Holloway, Secretary, Pomaria, S. C. Office in HERALD Building.

Dar- Fim for the Antis. Tilings arc beginning to as we had expected in the turn out political line. The Tillntanites, led by their overbearing bosses, have been acting as though the world belonged to them, and when men become so arro gant their downfall is not far dis tant. Reports come from all about over the State that they are quarrel ling among themselves; but in Mar ion county \V. Harrell and II. B. Harrington, two prominent men among them, have become so dis gusted that that they have kicked entirely out of the traces. The cause of their grievance is about as follows: In the recent county convention in Marion the majority decided that county officers should be nominated by primary, but immediately after the adjournment of the convention, seventy voters met in caucus and par celled out the different offices in the face of a considerable minority in the caucus opposed to such unscru pulous ring measures. The majority of this caucus, whoassumed to them selves the right to say who should run for office in Marion county, gave it out that no one need offer for any office who had not received their en dorsement, thus constituting them selves into a tribunal from which there could be no appeal. The two gentlemen above named could not stand being bushwhacked and bull dozed to this extent; they considered a caucus of seventy men, in a purely arbitrary manner, worse than the ringism of conventions of which the Tillntanites have been complaining, and Mr. Harrington says: “I prefer the old ring to the new one that bids fair to be tenfold worse.” The above is only a sample of what is going on in almost every county in the Stale, and the more the Tillmauites quar rel the more the Antis laugh. In fact the Antis are getting into such a fine humor these days that their op- poneuts are becoming angry with them. The Antis wear such smiling faces that one would suppose they had bagged all the offices instead of the reverse being the case. The whole thing is becoming ludicrous, and there is any amount of fun yet in store for those who have been op posed first, last and all the time to Ben Tillman for Governor.
