Views of a Somber Straight-out
To tbe Editor & The! News and
Coarier: A Charleston paper of tbe
29th bas an editorial headed "The
8uoter muddle." The first paragraph
is as follows : ' 1 / !

/P.. P. Gaillard. 88 ex-county chairman
and Dr._Jr?.:S. Ilogbsoa as county
chairman As a representative of the
true Democrats of Somter Coooty in
both of the late State conventions and
in JwHh ?f tha State conf?rences I. will
say that the Democracy of Sumter have
not asked the advice of, and will be
very' suspicious as to any suggestions
eminating from, a political editor, a *o
ealled Democrat, lately imported from
New York.
' To the- Stfsidft<rar<s of the State let
me say ?f?x in roe issue pressing ipon
1* we have risen above men and been
oontendiog, and still wilt contend, for
tbe great principles of government and
tbe honor of our State, bequeathed to
08 by our forefathers, for which some
of as have fongbt in foreign and civil
wars aod domestic strife. We expect
to do oor doty, and our whole duty, to
tbe State till tbe ides of November,
regardless .of the whiaiog cry of our
opponents : **Let as have peace."
"Your 8enio?r?tae ber8 that those words
were flong out to the United States
over Grant's head in tbe Convention
which first nominated him for President.
And the South did bave peace, but.- it
was the peace of strangulation. A
mighty effort in 1876 broke the Mack
chains which bound South Carolins.
God grant that we may not be doomed
to undergo another 187?4n a contest to
break the .political chains, bound upon
as by men of oar own race. If it most
be so to preserve ar d transmit to our
children and oor children's children s
free Democratic Government then let
it come. We have 5ut to do oor duty
sod lea re tbe results to tbe Sovereign of
Dations.x
Bat tbe editorial above alloded to
throws oat a threat. Shortly stated it
is that one J. L. M Irby, so-called
chairman of tbe Democratic State
executive committee, will soon regulate
Srmter Couoty polities, aoless we be
have ourselves like good boys and ootc
tf omise Wir politic J principles, as we
are kindly advised to do Tbe threat
is contemptible and will scare nobody ;
for even an undisputed State executive
committee has do authority, nor is there
precedent: ander the; constitution of the
Democratic party (I mean of cocrse,
the old, for there is no new constitu
tion ; bat not oven ander the latter) to
interfere in matters pertaining pnrely
to the couoty. This "tangle/' as it
ia called, is the doing of tbe people of
Soooter, aod they, and tbey alone, have
tbe right to unravel it, without aid
from die outside world. And if Mr.
?rby tries to usurp. authority over the
true Democrats of Sumter County
(?hose representatives, I am informed,
hi voted in credential committee to
seat in tbe September Convention) they
IwUl only answer "We know you not."
The sam? Charleston paper of to-day
(30th) develops its "plab of compro
mise"?"Montes parturiut et ridieulus
mus oaseitur wbicb Pope or Smart
might sow literally translate, "The
world labors. Behold ! a ridiculous
comp is brought forth " I will not
"waste time to comment on this foolish
effusion farther than to say that both
factions would stultify themselves by
confessing that the political principles
for which each has been contending for
?a^Lj month* are Bot principles at all?,
butanerely .torn* point* of passing pol
icy. However tbe Tiilmanites may
loot ?it, the Aotis will not read through
Ben's specs thus. Political principle
is not principle because "political per
jury is not perjury."
The last sentence declares a novel
and somewhat startling proposition :
"These appellations (Tiilmanites and
AntiTiilmanites) were all right before
the September Convention, but tbey
have no excuse for existence any'longer.
Now we are all Democrats."
: We are not pleading any excuse for
being called Amis, but bold tbat there
is more solid reason now than before
tbe September Convention why true
Democrats should not ooly be called,
but in fact be and continue to be, Anti.
Tillman. Some of us at least will not
vote for, bat oppose to the last, the
election of the self-confessed, foul
mouthed slanderer. No party lash, nor
bug-a-boo "Radical spectre" will drive
or scare us from doing tbat which before
conscience,. our cou a try, our God," we
believe to be right. To be a gentle
man is not,J admit, one of the constitu
tional qualifications -f?r Governor, but
the- Convent!or,, (even that of 1868)
wbich adopted the Constitution, pre
supposed that no elector would vote for
a man wbo was not a gentleman.
! The closing revelation : "Now, we
are all Democrats." The Tills have
admitted before and since the Septem
ber Convention that tbe ?ntis were
Detns., then who have become Dems.
since that Convention, and by what
"process converted ? Let the paper an

Locoed,
This word, which may be new to
most of our readers, has long been cur
rent in the far West, and is likely to be
adopted, into the language, and become
as indispensable as the typic words taboo
and- tabooed, wbich Herman Melville
gave us some forty years ago. There
grows upon the deserts aod the cattle
ranges of the Rockies a slender plant of
tbe lobelia family, with a purple blos
som, which is called the loco. It is
sweet to the taste ; horses and cattle
are fond of it, and when they have
once eaten it they prefer it to anything
else, and often refuse other food. Bat
the plant is poisonous, or, rather, to
speak exactly, it is a weed of insanity.
Its effect upon the' horse seems to be
mental quite as much physical. He
behaves queerty, he is full of whims ;
one wouid say he was "possessed."
He takes freaks, he trembles, be will
not go io certain place3, be will not
pull straight, his mind is evidently ef
fected, he is mildly insane. In point
of fact, he ie ruined ; that is to say, he
is locoed. Further indulgence in the
plant results in death, but rarely does
an animal recover from even one eating
of tbe insane weed.
The shepherd on the great sheep
ranger leids an absolutely insolated
life. For weeks sometimes, for months
together, he does not see a human be
ing. His only companions are bis dogs
and the three or four thousand sheep
he is herding. All day long, under
the burning sun, he follows the herd
over tbe rainless prairie, as it nibbles
here and there the short grass aod
slowly gathers its food. At nignt be
drives the sheep back to tbe corral, aod
lies down alone io his fiat. He speaks
to no one; he almost forgets how to
speak. Day aod night he hears no
sound'except the melancholy, monoto
nous bleat, bleat of the sheep. It be
comes intolerable. Tbe animal stupidi
ty of the herd enters into him. Grad
ually he loses his mind. They say that
he is locoed. Tbe it sane as y turns of
California contain many shepherds.
But tbe word locoed has come to have
a wider application than to the poor
shepherds or tbe horses and cattle tbat
have eaten the loco. Any one wbo acts
qaeerly, talks strangely, is visionary
without being actually a lunatic, who
is what would be called elsewhere a
"crank." is said to be locoed. It is a
term describing a -.bade of mental obli
quity and queerness sometiog short of
irresponsible madness, and something
more than being temporarily ''rattled"
or bewildered for the moment. It is a
good word, and needed to apply to
many people who have gone off into
strange ways, aod behave as if tbey
bad eaten some iosaue plant?tbe in
sane plant being probably a theory in
the mazes of which ti<y have wandered
until tbey are lost.?Charles Dudley
Warner, in tbe Editor's Drawer of
Harper's Magazine for October.

Life Insurance Company, of New York, is entitled to your first consideration,

amounting to more than $136,000,000.
4. ?It is the safest company io which
to, insure.
5. ?It is tbe cheapest company in
which to' insure. Its large dividend
returns reduce the final cost of insur
ance to a minimum.
6?It is the best company in which

10. ?It places no restrictions upon

company presents a most attractive in
vestment feature. It not only accumu
lates the surplus arising from the premi

each policy in force during the distri
