Gex. W. W. 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An Historical Document.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.

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. Terms, Two Dollars a year. Ad

The State Fair.
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.

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,

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.
