Address all communications and re- , mittances to THE DARLINGTON HERALD, Darlington, B. V. FRIDAY, MAY 4, 1894. The Colnmbiu Journal, in speak ing of Memorial Day, calls attention to the fact that in some of the towns of Onr State the day is not observed as it should be, and strongly urges upon our {teople the importance of }>aying this annual tribute to the memory of our gallant dead. We have no idea what towns the Jonrnal^the honor of South refers to, but the charge certainly does not apply to Darlington. On the contrary the number of people that turn out, on that occasion, here seems to l>e larger every year, ami the exercises of last year were wit nessed by almost the entire ^wpula- tion of the town and surrounding country hnd were yery solemn and impressive. The Confederate monu ment was almost hidden with ever greens and ilowers. Mcmi-UI Day. The moetanblime virtue that can adort^the fcnman character is char ity. With the rising of that bright star which flashed its beams across the plains of Bethlehem, and which guided the wise men to where the infant Savior lay, there was ushered n the beginning of a new dispensa tion, and that was a dispensation of peace and love. If we are true to the purer and nobler instincts of our nature and mindfo! of the words and example of that Divine teacher, whose pre cepts should be the gniding principle of onr lives, we cannot truly com memorate this day, which should be forever hallowed as one set apart to honor the memories of those who died for the sacred conrse of liberty, whose deeds of heroism have written the brightest pages of all military history, and whose snblime con stancy and self-sacrifice will be an incentive and inspiration to all future generations of men. It is not in the spirit of bitterness or hate, not to revive the animosities of the great stjnggle, that brings ns together in honor of this day, but it is for higher and bo.ier purpose. It is to keep in perpetual remembrance the record of those whose lives were a noble sacrifice of interest to prin ciple; to teach the present genera tion of young people and children to honor and revere the memory of the men, who, at the call of duty, {mured out their blood fighting for Carolina and her sitter States; and to show to the world that, while accepting in good faith the decision of the sword, we have never doubted the justice of our cause or will ever cease to honor the men who carried the Confeder ate flag in triumph over so many blood-stained battle fields. Some of the grandest pages of history give the records not of the victors, bnt of the vnwinislied, and the warrior who lavs down his sword Dlsprisary Derlsioa. The Supreme Court has decjded the Dispensary iaw to he The Prohibitionists will labor on der a great disadvantage .in the coming campaign, in consequence of so many of them having given their > support to the Dispensary iniquity This will lay them open to the charge of inconsistency and they will find it very difficult to give anything like a satisfactory explanation in regard to thia compromise of their princr- ples. Another difficulty that they will encounter is that they will di« cover, when they get actively to work, that a good many of the former advocates of prohibition are now in favor of high license. We are satisfied that if they had been trne to their colors that there wonli now be very little donbt of snccess, bnt some of them were more intent on the success of a faction than they were to advance the cause of tem perance. Will some of onr Reform organa please explain by what right Gov ernor Tillman undertakes to apply, as it seems he intends doing, the money ef the State to seen re counsel for McCeudon and Cain, who are to be tried for murder at the next term of theoourtin Darlington! 1 These men are to be tried for a violation of law, and the stisnge spectacle is presented of the 8tat\ in the person of its Governor, whig its beet efforts to shield them from the consequences of their unlawful act Governor Tillman has no more right to employ counsel for these men than he bus for any other violators of the law, and if he persists in trying to pro tect McLendon and Cain, be ought to be made to appear before a com mittee of the ijegisluture and asked to explain himself. In making reflections on the Su preme Court, ou account of its Din petuary decision, some of our Reform contcniporNrif* are over - reaching themselves and without being cuusei- ous id it, apparently, an-, if what they say be true, putting Justice Elect Gary in the {KNition of I wing a mere pupjiet who was simply elect ed to carry out the wishes of our lawless Governor They a.sert thm withiii a few months the Dw|ieiisary will be in full blast again, and that too without the danger of any more 'drerse decisions. The only mean ing that can be attached to this is that when Mr. Gary takes his seal on the Supreme Court lieneh, the decision will be reversed. -We would be very glad to know. hosr.tWy .can speak w-’ih so much confidence as to what Mr. Gary will or wRi not do when ha assn toes the rubes of office, lie certainly should not bo con demned before he has hud u chance to show how t-« will conduct him self on the bench, wild this oondem- . nation coming too fii»u those who supported him for the high position fy which be way cK-cted. tutional. The decision- is ay long bnt interesting pa|>er.. TJto ik- cision was prepared by Chief Jus tice Mclver and concurred in by McGowan, Ju.'itee I’ope dissents in a strong opinion. The decision of n t majority of the conrt is simplv the result of political prejudice. Mclver is known to de violently opposed ^ t*» thrj Dispensary as well as all other reforms. Judge McGowan, with all the hatred, spleen and reven of a defeated candidate, takes tl last opportunity to wreak his ven- nce, outrage justice and tultify imseif. ' Judge Pope’s arraignment of the two political judges is dignified, yet caustic and terrible. He shows them willing to thwart the peoples’ law to vent their prejudice. He proves them by their own acta and decis- ons to be lawyers without regard for law, custom and tradition. They left the high position of honor and trust imposed on them by a confiding people and stooped to the #low plane of -prejudiced poli ticians. Bnt this is not the end of the Disjensaiy law. The fight has just begun. The people want it and will have it, for the people role South Carolina. The man that thinks the Dispensa y law is crushed is mistaken. He mistakes the Reform Administration, he mistakes the {>eople, and has forgotten Coosaw and the railroad tax cases. Moreover, it has welded the Re form {wrty solid. We see and feel the necessity of a Reform govern ment. from the judiciary down-, and we will have it. Before many months the Dispen sary iaw will again be in force and once more law, order, peace and sobriety will rule the land. The law is engrafted into the hearts and souls of the people. It ha: become a part of their polities, religion and life, and and no power can keep them from .having it.—Aiken Times. We deem it almost unnecessary to make any comments on the above editorial, except to call attention to the fact that it is taken from the organ of John Gary Evans and if he is not the writer, be is at least the Pass Him Aruuafl. , A special from Florence to the sti- Colombia State of April 26, says: A slick rascal worked ibe -‘library” racket on some of our innocent citi zens last week.

Ptiilsdelphia Record. The mission of the .Democratic party has always been to give eyery man an opportunity to take care of himself, and to insist that every man shall take care of himself. It believes that when every man has a fair opportunity he can take care of liimseif, and that that government is best which governs least This is precisely the opposite of the ’’generil walfai-^’ ideas of the parties which have opposed Democracy from the time of the Adamses down to Covey. They insist that it is the duty, in one way or another, of the govern ment to protect eve.-ybody. This is the idea that fills the addled brains of Coxey and his followers. They arc marching to Washington for protection. {■proved Public Highways. Bonthern Cultivator. The importance of improved ptib- Hc highways was appreciated by the National Farmers’ Congress at its Savannah session, and with wis dom and forethought they adopted n resolution urging the Governors of each of the States to specifically cull the attention of their Legislatures to the necessity of promptly adopting measures for the permanent improve ment pf the pupbc highways under the most improved system. It is a subject of such grave and vital importance tbat it cannot be over looked, and we trnst that each Chief Execntivc in the Union will respect this reqnest of the congress and pass the word for reform all along the line.

How Is This I Something unique even in these days of tnammoth premium offers, is the latest effort of Stafford’s Maga zine, a New York monthly of home and general-reading. The proposition is to send the Magazine one year for one dollar, the regular subscription price, aud in ad dition to send each subscriber fifty- two complete novels during the twelve mouths; one each week. Think of it. You -receive a uew and complete hovel, by mail, post paid, eyery week for fifty-two weeks, and in addition you get the maga zine once a month for twelve mouths, all for one dollar. It is an offer which the publishers can only afford to make in the confident expectation, of getting a hundred thousand new subscribers. Among the authors, in the coming series are, Wilkie Collins, Walter Reasant, Mrs. Olipliant, Mary Cecil Hay, Florence Marryat, An thony Troliu(ie, A. Conan Doyle, Miss Braddou, Captain Murryut Miss Thackery and Jules Verne, it yon wish to take advantage of this unusual opportunity, send one dollar for Stafford’s Magazine, one year.
