Wednesday, Sept. 21, 1892. Mr. Bowden ought to start a Thin] party paper and call it the Weaver Feild Humbug, that is if he shonh! desire an appropriate name. We have never heard Git^'Till man accused of modeety, but be cer- ■ *-* -J f •«r> , tainly is uot so conceited aa some of his associates, who an claiming ]o have done such effective work during the campaign. Senator Irby attrib utes the success largely to the Regis ter, and a correspondent of that pa per gives Mr. Benet credit for bring ing victory to the Reformers. It is very possible that Gov. Tillman can sympathize with Gen. Grant, who, after reading the histories of the war, written by some of the Federal gen erals, remarked that he did not ex actly see where he came in. This is probably a question that has also occurred to Mr. Tillman in reference to the late campaign tb “him who makes it, it the consciousness of duty and this shbmd fuwmh sufficient in centive for hopefnl and unceasing work. Since the above was in type we learn that Mr. Smith has strong bus iness reasons for leaving the State, and this being the case it is possible that we haye been unintentionally unjust in atttributing his departure to annoyance over his defeat If Weaver is elected President we nominate Mrs. Leash for Secretary of War. If the country were to be come involved in war she might be tempted to take tne field \n person and get killed, which would rid us of a nuisance. If unblushing impudence and in ordinate vanity will secure a nomi- hation, then that incarnation of con ceit and plausibility, Mr. W. 0. Benet, will be the next Attorney General If other people would take him at his own estimate, her ought to be Chief Justice of ths United States Supreme Court. The Sumter Freeman is the only paper in the State that burns in cense at the shrine of that High Priest of Hypocriscy, Gen. Weaver, and Bra Dargan must have a hard time keeping the fire burning; but he probably consoles himself with the idea that there will be many worshippers in a very short while. The lonely aud melancholy howl of the Third party wolf is heard in faint reverberations throughout the Stote, but there are too few of th m to make a respectable pack, and apprehension need be felt on account of their presence, and it wont pay to hunt them down as they are so harm less, that it has not been deemed necessary to offer a premium for their scalps. Gen. Stevenson, the Democratic condidate for Vice President, made a magnificent speech at Asheville on Thursday, .in which he eloquently and forcibly depicted the injury that is being done to the country by the Republican Party, and clearly de monstrated that the only hope for relief was in the success of the Dem ocracy. He depicted in strong lan guage the dire results that would follow the enactment of the Force Bill, and stated that President Har rison was pledged, in case of re-elec tion, to support this iniquitous and inexcusable measure. He also paid his respects to the McKinley Tariff and showed how, under the guise of protecting the working man, it rob bed the farmer and almost everyone else. He is to speak today at Fay etteville, and will have a large crowd ;o hear him. meeting last night, an nimouny, $100 for tn i members off opnated relief ^ \ (rr The Sumter Freeman says that Governor Tillman and Senator Irby are afraid to oppose the Third party. Well just now there is no organiza tion of that party within the State for them to oppose; and while, as is known, we do not admire either of these gentlemen, we hardly think that they are exactly afraid of such an uncertain spectre as this Third party, which at the outside can only count on about a fourth or fifth of the white vote of the State; that is unless a good many who voted at the Primary fail to keep their pledge. Why is it that so many Sunday School Superintendents neglect the teaching of temperance in the school? No better place in all the world to inculcate temperance principles than the Sunday School—Gospel Bugle. We take the liberty of suggesting to the editor of the Gospel Bugle, that the home is a far better place to inculcate the principles of tem perance than even the Sunday School. We are very far from ig noring the grea^and important work of the Sunday SShool, but at their best they can but reinforce the in fluence and teachings of the home. The childs*best and most lasting im pressions are learned from the true mother, and nothing can lake her place. Col J. J. Dargan, editor of the Snmter Freeman, is now completely beyond the pale os the Democratic party, being an out-and-out Third partyite.—Manning Times. Yes and candid enough to say so, and also make his acts correspond with his mords. We would like to know what the Times thinks of all the'other Third party sympathizers whpVoted at the Democratic Primary. Ought they not to have been as much out of the pale of the 'Democratic party as Col. Dargan? Of course Col. Dargan is all wrong, but then we respect him for his hon esty. He did not vote at the primary, having too much respect for his po litical consistency to do so. The editor of the Sumter Freeman professes to believe in white suprem acy above all else, and yet is advo cating a policy that he must know endangers it. It is impossible, as every one ought to know, for Gen. Weaver to be elected President, but the advocacy of his claims in the South, is just helping the Republi can party, and it is perfectly idle to deny the truth of this statement Of course the only hope for the Re publicans, in the South, is in the di vision of the Democratic party, and while we believe the Third party fa natics .are comparatively helpless in South Carolina, at the same time it is neither wise or patriotic to give them aid and encouragement; espe cially when the notoriously bad char acter of General Weaver and the ut ter idiocy of their platform is taken into consideration. It would be hard to frame one, that if carried out, would work more irremediable mischief. BETTING ON THE PRIMARY. We are sorry to observe that only a few of our contemporaries have spokeu in condemnation of the many wagers that were made on the result of the election. The practice is repre hensible in the highest degree, and deserves the severest censure; es pecially when indulged in by those who thrust themselves forward as leaders of the people. It is with sin cere regret that we see that Gov. Tillman was gnilty of this offense, which, in all essential respect, is nothing more nor less than gambling. Of course he was not the only offen der, as there were prominent men in both factions that are equally guilty. If the newspapers would persistently refuse to take any notice of these wagers, except to condemn them,, it would, do something in the way of putting an end to the practice, for the simple reason that a good many men bet simply for the notoriety that it gives them, and wonld proba bly refrain if they could not be ad vertised. If the moral sentiment of the people was what it ought to be, our public men, even if they had the inclination, would not dare to thus outrage the moral sense of the State. The same moral laws that apply to every day life ought to exercise the same force at all times, even in the heat of a political campaign. STAY AT HOME. We are sorry to learn, from one of our exchanges, that Mr. Jeremiah Smith has taken his defeat so much to heart, and is so upset by the tri umph of the Tillman faction, that he intends leaying the State, and casting his fortune elsewhere. If this be true, then Mr. Smith is not the kind of man we took him for, and he wonld hardly made a good Congressman if he is so sensitive to defeat as his actions would seem to indicate. We have no special admi ration for Mr. McLaunn, but we have no idea that defeat would have driven him out of the State. He would simply have accepted it and waited for a change in public senti ment. , The mere fact that the political condition of the State is not such as some of us would like for it to be, is no reason why we should leave it and try our fortune elsewhere, but, on the contrary a very strong incentive to remain just where we are, and use our efforts to bring about a better condition of affairs, and the man who takes any other view of the case, is lacking both in common sense and patriotism. When things do not go to suit us, either in buiness, the church or the State, it would be the height of folly to relax our efforts and by this relaxation allow matters to go from bad to worse. It is only by holding on and redoubling our efforts that we can hope to bring or der out of confusion. The greater the political igno rance, bigotry and lack of general intelligence that exists among the people, the more imperative the ne cessity exists that those wh« have had better opportunities for gaining knowledge concerning political and social problems, should use that knowledge for the enlightenment of those who otherwise would be at the mercy of the Demagogue or the fa natic. No honest intelligent effort for the moral or social elevation of those arOctod ns is ever lost, bnt will, at ■ome fntnre time bear fruit; at least, A SENSATIONAL AFFAIR AT FORT MILLS. The long and unpleasant discus sion which has continued between Revs. Harley nhd McMannaway was brought to a crisis last Monday when fight was proposed. Daring the entire length of the discussion a g deal of bitterness has existed on both sides, but this has been suppressed as far as possible, but the matter began to assume an openly serious air when Rev. McMauaway, m a card in the News of last week’s issue, denounced as liars a committee who claimed to have investigated the charges made by him against Rev. Harley, and “found them false.” Mri Harley was away on the date of issue of the paper, but returned Sunday and after reading the card i the News became so enraged that Sunday night after service he arose and read the card to the congrega tion, and after savagely commenting upon it, then and there, publicly branded Rev. McManaway a “sneaking scoundrel, liar and cow ard.” Mr. Harley further said that Mr. McManaway had sneaked off that (Sunday) afternoon, aud threat ened to have him arrested and brought back. Mr. Harley denied that he had been arraigned before the Methapist Conference on any charge, as was accused by Rev. Mc- Msnaway, and referred his congrega tion to several prominent ministers and presiding elders with request that they write to them in order to substantiate what he said. Thns the drama progresses very interest ingly. But in the next act Rev. McMana way appeared upon the scene, not having gone to CharTottte, as was supposed. Having heard of the manner in which Mr. Harley had used him the previous night, he ap peared at the gate of Mr. Harley's residence, and calling his opponent, out, in turn poured a shower of un becoming epithets such as had been E 'ven the previous night and chal- nged Mr. Harley for a fight on the ground. Bnt the latter will have recourse to law as his plan of action, and whether the matter will be car ried any further or not we do not know, several propositions of a com promising nature have been produc ed, but none have been found satis factory to both parties. The news has endeavored to state the case devoid of partiality, and, the above facts are just as we have heard, and just as they occurred.—The Fort Mill News. .Never since our connection with -journalism have we read anything that deserves such severe condemna tion, as the conduct of the two min isters whose names appear above, and unless the account of their quarrel, and the extremely coarse and un christian language they have used towards each other, is grossly exag gerated they ought both to be silenc ed immediately and their credentials as ministers taken away from them by their respective cl arches. The denunciatory language, and even the profanity, of some of the speakers in the late Campaign sinks into insig- uificance when compared with that used by these men, who have shown so little respect for themselves and for the religion they profess to teach. Viewed from any standpoint the spectacle they present is a sad and humiliating one, and one that will bring grief and mortification to both the Methodist and Baptist churches. Even a truly good man may, in moment of passion, use language that is unkind and unchristion, but when he speaks such language from the pulpit, it is conclusive proof that he is a stranger h’mself to the grand cardinal doctrines of Christianity, and is ignorant concerning that which he has assumed to teach to others. at a meetin unanim such members of the G. A. It *8 may be sick daring the piesent encamp ment, and ask that vou will use the enclosed check of the treasurer for that purpose. Some of ns, when wounded, or sick, and in prison, leceived kind at tention from enen.ies whom we now greet as friends, and we trust that this slight token from veteran to veteran will cement more closely the bonds that should unite men who taught the world the worth of Amer ican valor.

An historic personality has passed away by the death, in Italy,, of the Countess Caroline Tattini, who be fore her marriage was the Countess Pepoli, daughter of King Joachim Murat and of the Princess Caroline, who was a sister of Napoleon 1. The Countess wrs 68 years of age at her death. Her relations with the French Emperor were such that, in conjunction with her influence with Cavour, d’Azeglio and Minghetti, she was enabled to accomplish much for Italy and to impress her liberal views upon the Constitution of the Italian Kingdom. “As an indication of the Republi can effort made in Maine,” says the Boston Herald.. (Ind.) “it is noted that there were on the stump in that State, to speak for this party, such ora tors as Senator Aldrich, of Rhode Island; Congressman Henry Cabot Lodge, Senator Hawley, of Connecti- ent; Gen Stewart L. Woodford and J. Sloat Fasset, of New York; Ex- Goveanor Lucius Fairchild, of Wis consin, and Senator Allison oi Iowa. Ex-Speeker Reed aud the three other Republican Congressmen—Dingley, Boutelle and Milliken—-were also upon the stump. Mr. Blaine could nol be induced to speak, but his re cent letter was sent over the State by tens of thousands. Against them the Democrats had almost no orators of prominence to present” a deleterious extent of course it is primarily because they are so cheap that they appeal so generally to boys but even with boys, who ought not to be allowed to smoke at all, it is not so mnch the tobacco m the cigar ette that does the mischief as the pestilent and insinuating practice of inhaling the smoke. An ordinary boy of wholesome appetites won’t smoke cigars or pipe tobacco enough to do him serious damage, even if he can get them. Nor would the cigarettes he might smoke be so serious a menace to his welfare if he would only smoke them as he would smoke a cigar. The trou ble is that as soon as he gets used to cigarette-smoking he begins to in hale the smoke, and presently is fixed in a habit that plays the mischief with him. Whether anything besides tobacco goes into ord'nary cigarettes is a much discussed question. The effect they sometimes produce on the brain is so different from that due to tobacco in other forms as to favor the theory that many of them contain opium ofralerian, but tbjs the manufac turers deny, usually asserting that snob drugs are too expensive to put into cWp cigarettes, even if it help ed their marketable qualities. One thing besides the tobacco obviously goes into them, aud that is the paper, fumes to which are doubtless bad for the throat and lungs as far they go.—From Harpers’s Weekly. ifo "cnsro.

DARLINGTON A leading North Carolina Demo crat and Alliance man assured the Rale’gh correspondent of the Wil mington Messenger, the other day, that “the present strength of the Al liance in North Carolina does not exceed 24,000. Of this certainly not over one-fourth, and possibly not over one-sixth, is in the Third party. Dr, Exum claims that there are 15,- 000 in the parly. Wake County may be taken as a basis for calculation. It will be found that only about one- sixth of the members of the Sub-Al liances are in the new party. Each day the Third party is losing.

Erank Hatton, Editor of the Wash ington Post Dear Sin When the ancient Macedonians and Athenians met af ter many a bloody conflict, “Where Greek jotoed Greek,” they ci owned each other with laurel in token of proud respect for “foemen worthy of their steel.” The Confederate Veterans Asso ciation of the District of Columhia, [Augusta Evening Herald.] Mr Hugh Inman, advising curtail ment of the cotton crop, says: The cotton buyer stands before yon with $300,000,000 to spend. You can get that money for 5,000,000 bales as readily as you cau for the 9,000,000. Therefore, when you see our farmery raising 4,000,000 more bales than they need, and then sending $100,000,000 of the money they get west for breadstuffs, you can see where we are wasting money on our fields, and throwing the balance away on western products. “All this leads me to say,” said Mr Inman in conclusion, “that we have the richest lands in the world, and that our remedy is to cut down the cotton crop, to put that extra energy into raising onr own bread- stuffs and live stock and to take the $100,000,000 which we are now send ing west and put it away for a rainy day.

The Healthiest Spet »■ Earth- Flie Miieral Water—The best Place to spei4 the Spriig aiiSuMer Months. Southern Pines, Moore Co., N. C., Is situated on a high sand mountain, and there are several causes which go to make it the healthiest spot on earth, and the very best place to stop at dur- ng the spring and summer months. Its elevation above the surrounding lection for more than one hundred miles causes a delightful breeze at all times during the summer. Itslocation amid a vast forest of long leaf pines gives it an atmospherewbteh physicians of na tional reputation say is the most health 1U1 to be found in the United States.

The Mineral Springs nearby,issuingfromasingular medical store house built bynatureand curiously situated in this sand moun tain seems as though the Creator in tended this spot as a place where man' kind might rest and regain health. This place was first noted as a winter health resort, and thousands of persons from the Northen States have come to It during the past few years: and with out a single exception they have been benentced. During the past two sumireis it has been shown by actual test that those suffering from weakness of mind er body can find greater relief at this place than any other known resort. Dr. Wile, an eminent phv- sician of Connecticut and editor of tne ''New England Medical Monthly,’’ has been investigating for the benefit of Northern phyiclans, and he saysSouth era Pines is the best known place for those who need rest and sleep. He says the first inclination one has is to ‘ p, and that this rest, without the of drugs, enables the natural forces of the body to impart strength to the diseased parts.
