It imiv l>i‘ some yenrs before the much talked of road from Know ills to Kouthport is Itcguu, hut whenever that tine comes Darlington will l>e on hand to show why the road should puss through this town; and without boasting we-oun say that Darlington is not ip "the habit of attending rail road con veil titnts with empty jaiekets. — - 'Does the State, of CaJumbiu, kiujAv''anything about the married th.feffort !=■ made in the right way, favor of State prohibition. While differing from Mr. Chnetzberg in regard to the best methods of com bat ting this monster evil, it gives us pleasure to say that he has made a very strong and admirable presen tation of the arguments in favor of prohibition, and it will probably have the effect of bringing a good many into sympathy with his views. It will he well for the advocates of pro hibition to hear in mind that many of the most ardent temperance advo cates oppose prohibition only for the reason that they think that public sentiment has not yet been brought to the jMiint of sustaining a law of this character, and that the only remedy lies in the direction of bring ing the people up to the point w here the law can he enforced, and then put it into operation. The whole subject, from any standpoint, is a most serious one, and one that calls for all the social and moral influence that can lie brought to bear against it. Mow ever liojadess may seem the tasksif abating thisstcrrihlc evil, it is apafdc of jiecoiuplishnient, provided state?-Pickens Sentinel. ■ Only as a ‘•theory" not as a “con dition.” -The State. Then the arguments of our con- tem|KHary for a divorce law are en- tirelv theoretical and not based on the necessity fora change in the “condition" of our law. Met more knowledge—some that is not merely theoretical—then our zeal may be commended.— Pickens Sentinel. Kxeiise us. We prefer to write from a safe and impartial standpoint, and thus furnish a judgment un biased hv person considerations.— The State. We are very much inclined to' the opinion that a bachelor can discuss this divorce question with a great deal more safety than his married brother. Anyway we protest against any attempt to muzzle the State -simply because it has not succumbed to the charms of one of Columbia’s fair daughters. In another column we publish a letter, on the subject of the Lien Law, written by a farmer to <<ov. Tillman; and are candid enough to say that if we had read it more care fully, it would not have appeared in the columns of Thk Hkiiai.k; simply! for the fact that we fail to see any force or argument in it. The Lien [jaw like every other measure de signed to benefit the people, lias its disadvantages, and has been often taken advantage of by both merchant and farmer, but this fact furnishes uo argument against the law, for it can be safely asserted that it has been- o', material great manv, who, without it. would have and I lay is to elevate the moral sen timent of the people. it is in the homes of the colored people of the South that the great and most effective work of elevating the race must be done. That class of workers, therefore, whose efforts reach the bonu s and influence the moulding of character in that impor tant center are the ones that are do ing most toward lifting the race out of its present unfortunate condi tion. While the work in the school room is not without its influence and im portance it falls far short of its de sired end if it fails to reach and in- Hlienee the homes of our people. Much that is built by the teacher during school hours is completely demolished by the had influence: of ill ordered homes, indeed, it only too often happens that the latter en tirely neutralizes the former.—New South. The article quoted above is from The New South, a paper published at Hoaufort, in the interest of the colored people, and is so suggestive fortihle jietrh. Hifftiw we give some extracts from thit^ remarkable ad dress. Producing classes have hitherto remained impoverished in the midst of the very plenty w hich they created. Those who toiled have too often suffered for the necessaries of life. Hut the advance of civilization and universal education have flooded the minds of the multitude with an ocean of light and taught them the supreme necessity for co-o|K.‘ratioii in the sense of the inborn rights of hu manity. “The producing classes of the •United States are the nation; all others simply live by tolls imposed on the industrv of the workers. We make no war upon the producers a- such; sonic of them render the peo ple the full equivalent of service for all they receive: others are robbers and plunderers, who, through the imperfection of our law s, strip us of our possessions and do not go to the penitentiary. “It is for the par]lose of saving free institutions by the peaceful in strumentalities of education and thej ballot that the people's party of the United States has lieen organized. No honest man can fail to acknowl edge the overwhelmingly necessity which exists for Such a movement. We have seen the shadow of pluto cracy spreading steadily." The address continues: “it is true that in some judical districts of Kansas the people's party candidates were defeated, but it was only by the unholy union of the Democrat and Republican parties against them. Hereditary enemies of half a cen tury gave us their sham battle and under the inspiration of the nionev power rushed into each other’s arms in one fond embrace, resolved to for get protection, reciprocity, silver question and everything else if they could only prevent the oppress d /aT '3T W WK WILL RECKIVK THIS WEKE In Gar Ms ai IT IS UNNECESSARY Are arriving, Daily, at Thf Darlington Book Stoic.

When our farmers determine to raise tlieir own supplies at home, the Lien Law will die a natural death without the interposi tion of the legislature. For the information of our read- • ers, we publish the address of th" 'members of the Alliance who are ‘opposed to the sub-treasury and some ‘of the other planks of the Ocala .platform. We have never believed that the majority of the members of- the Al liance were in favor of these unwise measures, and this address will give the opponents of the sub-treasury an opportunity to make their influence felt: ■“Whereas the national committie of the convention of the i.nti-suh- treasurv Alliaucemen held in St. Louis, .Sept 15th and Kith, 1891, appointed to present to the Supreme Council of the National Farmers' Alliance and Industrial Union, when assembled in Indianapolis, a memo rial and protest against the sub- treasury and laud loan schemes and the proposed governmental control of railroads and telegraph lines, have in due form and respectful manner ap pealed to present the sahl protest to the Supreme Council: and whereas the Supreme Council aforesaid lias declined to hear said protest; and whereas the committee was empower ed and instructed by the St. lamis convention to call another national convention to hear and consider the report of said committee: “Now, therefore, the national exe cutive committee of the St. Louis convention does truly isni- this call fora n oio la! con' •ntio.i for all a: - ti-sub-treasury Alliaucemen to be held in the city of Memphis, Teun . opinion with uo' State Board of Kxaminers, and the substitution of County Board no matter what the motive wliieii prompted our law-makers to make the change, a great mistake, and one that should he rectified at the com ing session of the legislature.

There are a great nianv medical colleges, called so # by a stretch of courtesy, where almost any one can secure a diploma, and it is against institu tions of this kind that it behooves us to he on guard; and it is nothing hut right and proper that the graduates of these colleges should be subjected to a very rigid examination. We are not responsible for the charter ing, by other States, of these apolo gies for medical colleges, and if every State had a good medical examining Itoard, they would soon lie compelled to dose their doors. Kveii if it were practicable to have the County Boards made tip of thoroughly competent, physicians, there would, from the very nature of the case, he a lack of uniformity in the examinations, owing to the fad that some of the examining hoards would "lie far more strict than others. The only practicable safe plan is to re-establish the State Board. This is a matter that should n it lie piKtj oned. The People’s parly, at its recent session in Indianapolis, have issued an address which is certainly one of tRe most extraordinary productions of the kind that has ever appeared. It when necessary, to disbar, how much more neccssarv does it become bound i to pay some attention to life.
