We see ll stated ia some of the news
papen? that Smalls will support Elliot
for Congress io the event of his defea
for the Republican nomination, giving
as a reason, the fact that the interest:
-oMSeasfcrt Port, RoyaL wouid_ b<
moro carefully looked after by .a re s i
dent Democrat than by a RepubHcat
from another section of the District
We have no doubt of thc soundness o:
this reasoning, but we do doubt most
emphatically that Smalls will be influ?
enced by any such motives. Smalls
will support the Republican ticket and
his political followers will do the same,
even though they nominate his Satanic
majesty as ?heir candidate. ' Since the
above was put in type we learn that
Smalls has received the Republican
nomination.
The Chinese, in some of the interior
cities have lately treated some Ameri?
can missionaries very roughly, driving
them out of their towns, and destroy?
ing their property, and our people are
feeling, naturally enongb, very indig?
nant over their misconduct. But we
should not forget that we set them thc
example. In the Rock Springs, Ore?
gon, massacre last year, the Chinese
were treated with shocking cruelty, and
as far as we know, this country has
made no amends whatever for thc bru?
tal conduct of our people ; so we have
no right to complain. If we have thc
right to murder Chinamen, surely they
have the right to object to the religion
of a country, that has treated them with
conspicuous injustice.
Governor Thompson who is Second
Assistant Secretary of the Treasury,
urged one of his sons who had lately
received a clerkship appointment in
that department, to resign, because of
the fact that he (his father) was one of
its Secretaries. His son resigned, and
has since received another appointment
which bis father wishes him to decline.
Such action seems to us Quixotic and
absurd. Young Thompson should not
he debarred from enjoying the privileges
belonging to other Americans just be?
cause his father is a department officer.
Nepotism is most unfair, when carried
to the extremes practiced by the Repub?
licans, but there is no good reason why
Mr. John M. Thompson should not be
a department clerk, even though his
father is Assistant Secretary.
It doesn't pay to lie about candidates
io South Carolina. We have seen sev?
eral instances in which the lying party
has suffered severely as a consequence,
and such should always be the result.
A ease in point may bc seen in the Spar?
enburg primary. Dr. R. A. Smith, i
a member of the Legislature from that j
County, was candidate for the Senate, ?
and in a campaign meeting at Spartan- i
burg said some excessively silly things !
about the S. C. College; and in order ;
to punish him for it, his enemies re- '?
hashed a lot of stale charges made
against him wh??c a member of- thc
Legisla tare daring the negro domina?
tion of the State, and which has been
clearly disproven before the committee
on frauds. Thc result was, the people
of Spartanburg rallied to Dr. Smith and
in the first primary he led by a big plu?
rality and in the second was defeated
by a majority of only fourteen in a vote
of more than four thousand. Smith is
a very big man in Spartanburg, thanks
to his enemies.
SENATOR BLAIR'S NEW PAR?
TY.
\ A meeting of the temperance Rcpub
\ Heans was held at Chicago, some days
ago, and a strong temperance platform
adopted which is to be pressed upon
the National Republican party for its
adoption, if possible. The Northern
Democratic papers seem disposed to
ridicule the movement, and possibly it
may result in smoke, but it may not.
We had much rather that the qu'es
t?on of prohibition should be kept out
of politics, and that the people vote on
it as a moral question entirely away
from the domain of political trickery ;
and we have no doubt their vote would
bc overwhelming against the saloon
curse ; but if the Republican party, or
at least ?he decent element of that par?
ty, should determine to depose their
' political leaders, and lay aside some of
their principles, which are if possible,
more rascally than their leaders, and
consistently advocate, and where they
have control, enforce temperance re?
form, their success would be undoubted.
We do not believe that temperance re?
form would bc the gainer in such a
coaliton, for prohibition is coming de?
spite political opposition, but the
Republicans would gain, more especial?
ly if Democrats pose, as they frequent?
ly do, as friends to the saloon.
The Anderson Intelligencer in writing
on this subject says :
"The leaders of the Republican par?
ty, now seek to give their party a new
mission, and to gather around it the
moral sentiment of the ?uion. It is
a movement which is not to be con?
temned. It has in it possibilities
that may reach further than wc imagine.
Prohibition has the sympathy and well
wishes of the Christians of this land,
and there are thousands of them who
will . vote, as they pray" on this ques?
tion. It will not do to term them
fanatics. They are men who place their
moral principles higher Jt?an they put
the mere questions of government which
relate to finance and taxation. These
are the men to whom these leaders of
the Republican party propose to appeal,
and if the Democratic party shall be so
foolish as to become the champions of
?he saloons, in our opinion, another de?
cade will drive them from power as the
champions of a business that is destruc?
tive alike to the home-life and to the
manhood of our people.
* * 5Jt * * * *
Then call it fanaticism or what you
please, we believe the new departure of
the Republicans will be a most formi?
dable opposition. It will rally the
Christian sentiment of the country
against thc saloons.

A Call to the Farmers.
WEI-GEFIBLD, S. C., Sept. 25, 1886.
To the Fanners' of Sumter County :
The Farmers' Movement has accomplished
all that it set out to do up to the present time.
It has caused our candidates to endorse, in the
main, the movement. It has accomplished
this much by the poor Organization we have
been able to effect. It gives the Farmers an
insight into what can be ?ffected by proper
organization.
1 hope now to organize all the farmers, since
they have seen exploded the objections against
the move. We want no class legislation like
that we have now, which operates in diametric
opposition to our interest. We want equal
justice and equal rights. We would not have
more, and we must not be content with less.
You see, too, there is no sign of splitting the
Democratic party. This always seemed a
puerile objection, for the farmers constitute
nine-tenth? of the population, and are rooted
to the soil to stay. They ought certainly to
be as safe guardians of our Democratic party
as the other omiten th who are a boating popu?
lation.
A State Farmers' Convention is called to
meet in Columbia on Nov. 9tb. I therefore
call a Convention to meet in Sumter on the
3rd Saturday in October, the 16th, to elect
f?ve delegates to the State Convention
the representation from the clubs to be one
delegate at large and one delegate for
every 15 members, and one delegate for
every fraction. There are several town?
ships that are not yet organized, and I res?
pectful! j urge upon those who were appointed
to organize their townships, to do so at once
In case they cannot comply, I beg they win
delegate some geutleman in sympathy with
the Farmers' Movement to effect an organiza
tion in their stead.
The State Convention will have gi eat influ?
ence on the future of our Agricultural inter
ests. I therefore appeal to the Farmers of the
County to organize and join their township
clubs, so that we can get at the real wishes of
the majority of the farmers on the issues of
the day, and send delegates to represent the
wishes of the County as will be expressed by
the delegates whom you send to the County
Convention ; so that at your club meet
ings it will behoove you to get at the sense of
your clubs on the various issues which have
been pretty thoroughly discussed during the
last canvass.
Mr. B. R. Tillman will be invited to ad?
dress this meeting. H. R. THOMAS,
Pres'dt. Sumter Farmers' Organization.

Mr. Tillman at Lydia. Bishopville
School Matters and Personals.
BISHOPVILLE, S. C., Sept. 23, 1886.
Hr. Editor : On last Friday, Farmer Till?
man, by special invitation, addressed a large
meeting of farmers at Lydia. Lower taxa?
tion ; a more economical administration of
the Government ; Slate Agricultural College,
were the principal questions discussed. He
made a fine impression on his audience. The
warmest commendations of bis speech are
heard from those who were present on the
occasion.
It cannot be denied that there is room for R
reduction of expenses in the management of
public affairs, and it is hoped the bold utter?
ances of Mr. Tillman may do more than
shake the nerves of the politicals. But if be
would go to the root of the matter, he would
find the main cause of the farmers' financial
trouble nearer the farmer's own door than the
State House. With few exceptions, the poor,
debt-ridden farmer is the pitiful dupe of his
own folly. What would benefit him more
than anything else is retrenchment and reform
at home, in the family. More labor, less loaf?
ing; more saving, less spending; more in
some, less outgo would work a marvellous
change in his financial status in a few years.
When our people learn that the "Philoso?
pher's stone is to pay as^you go," and-live
within their means, the. lien law will die a
natural death, unlamented by anybody ;
"hardtimes" will take wings and fly away,
and they will be happy io the enjoyment of
the good times for which they are now sigh?
ing. By the way, the farmer who is out of
debt to-day and runs bis farm on a cash basis
has never seen better times than the present,
Tor if cotton is low so is everything else.
The interest in the High School enterprise
increases, and the prospect of success bright
ins. The movement is endorsed by a num?
ber of our most progressive aod public-spir?
ited citizens who have subscribed most libe?
rally to the noble and worthy object. A plat
af land bas been furnished by Mr. A. F.
Cousar for the building. The site is a most
eligible and valuable one, and in view of the
;re*t difficulty in obtaining lots in Bisbop
rille Mr. Cousar deserves much credit for his
rery graceful act.
Mr. Sheppard Nash of Marion has opened
i private school in the Bishopville public
?chool house. He is a graduate of Davidson
Jollege, has bad some experience in teaching
md comes well recommended. Mr. Nash ex?
pects to make teaching bis profession and
.viii no doubt do his best to win success in
lis new field. The full attendance with
which he opened is quite encouraging to the
rcung professor.
Misses Lizzie Stuckey and Emmie James hare
?one to Greenville to attend the Greenville
female CoUege.
Mrs. W. D. Scarborough of Providence

Mrs. Dr. McLeod'has been seriously ill for

>resent though she is not yet regarded as out
;f danger.
Mr. R. 0. Dixon has had quite a sick turn

It looks like the cotton crop will be even
borter than we expected. I judge by the
.ase with which it is being picked out.- It is
lard to keep the hands out of afield until it is
veil open, aud then they flock in so that it is
?ut the work of a day to clear? out a man's
ields, and go to the next. Indeed I know of
ever*l instances where so many hands went

i?est place that I ever saw lor such a purpose.

Mr. Hussy's sermon last night from Ile?. |
XXII ch 17, was the finest that I haye heard I
lint preach. Six persons were received; ?nd I
[he interest is unabated. There was scarcely j
?oom itt ila* church for the congregation : and '

I icuds. Me '.viii breach lu-nTit-hi and u?-mor- .
row night, at 7.30 o'clock. Wednesday he
wifi preach at Mr. Lampley's request, in the
Presbyterian chureb at Wedgefield, the ser
moa on grace thai he preached here Friday
morniag. This wifl) probably close the series
of meetings. Where the others from Wedge?
field and Bethel will be baptized, I do not
know, but respectfully suggest that the font
be used.
Much interest was shown in the meeting at
the Presbyterian Chnrch in Wedgefield.
Rev. Mr. Plowden preached four eloquent
gospel sermons. We regretted very much
that his engagements prevented his staying
with us Sunday. He is a young man of
great promise; burning with zeal for the
Lord's work, his whole soul filled to overflow*
ing with love to God and souls ; scholarly,
without affectation, be is destined to become
a Girardeau in oar church. -
On Sunday the pastor preached ; the sacre?
ment of the Lord's Supper was administered,
our brethren of sister churches communing
with us. Hpw pleasant it is* for brethren to
dwell together in unity. Six persons con?
nected themselves with the church upon pro?
fession^ their faith in the Lord Jesus Christ.
Others said afterward that they wished they
bad done likewise. Not the least part of this
meeting wag the warming up of God's people
to more earnest work for the Master.
And now a few words in conclusion ; there
seems to be a feeling that persons cannot join
the church except at revivals, or communion
seasons, or other set times. I am compelled
to say this by the experience of those who
have joined ; but three or four date their con?
version to the last few days ; others date it
several months ago ; and fully half that have
joined date their converiion to a short time
after Rev. R. W. Lide preached here two years
ago. Kow shall the church fall into a state
of deadness and inaction ; and wait for a week
of special preaching a year or two hence ? If
so, O converted sinner, your conversion has
been in vain ! Take care, lest in leaving
others alone, God leaves you alone.
This applies to every denomination. Min?
isters of God everywhere, impress upon your
people that the spirit waits not for set times :
that death will not wait until after a revival.
And 0, rank and file of Christianity the
skirmish waxes hot all along the line ; there
are no reserves in this great army, every
man is expected "to do bis doty," and march
right op to.the wall, and in a "hand to
hand" conflict with sin to conquer it through
the strong arm, and sustaining grace of the
Holy Spirit. DEW.
