We are in heartily in ay mpethy with the temperance movement, but de not believe that mea.c&n be made tempe rate by lejpalatrve enactment, hence doubt tbe wisdom of a prohibition law. One of the peculiar features of tbe Stokes wem, proceeding tbe State Convention, was that only those whom Stokes favored, were invited so take part in it. Col. J. Harvey W?sos, was a delegate from this County, and if also the president of tbe Sumter County Alliance, jet be was not invited to go into tbe eeaeas and did not go. He was elected a dtregstc as an anti-Tillmanite, which possi bly explains why he was not invited to go Hto that Stokes Alliance caucus. There is a violent revolution in progress iu Teas?esa.

The decision of tbe Fire Insurance Com panies to increase the rates of insurance from 9e to 400 per cent if cotton is bandied on the jtreett of this city, within the fire limits, this iwasew, as baa been tbe custom of former *?eer?, -pieces the matter in each shape that tbe <iejf warnt the principal streets of Sumter cao iSe ased aeeotton yards are at an end. The sfoaperty owners and merchants on. these streets ymW are not engaged in handling cotton are ?et going to sit tamely down and allow this , ?az to be placed open them. They will at 6*ce take steps to put an end to the cotton tmitaace about which so moeh has been said And written in the past. The surest way to convince tbe average man is to mash bis pocket-book, and we are assured that already tbe property owners are convinced that it will luanwise to handle cotton on tbe streets. . Wo do not think it will be necessary for the 4*ty eo*oeil to pass an ordinance making it *o4aw?*l Car cotton to be unloaded within the are-limits, far with this 50 to 100 per cent, increase in insurance rates staring tbe mer chants xn tbesaee, tbey will at once see the | tt?c***i?y for a osttoa warehouse and yard. iJt is a as* we of great satisfaction to know Ifeat o*r *<rf?ts be ?cept free from cotton dui?cg the eemmg fall, and we believe that there -are many persons who would be willing j to join in a^oteof thanks to tue Sou lb Eastern ] T*reT A saociat ion. CEJ?TBALI2ATION. The twrt-and most important principle of i?fl>r?n?an democracy, is Iii st of lot*.] self government. This is directly and irrevocably opposed te eestraiifatioe and Nationalization xf the pewarnaaent whereby $ower is all col- ! Jetted ioto tbe hands of the general govern- j meat, i'et we have presented in this State j the peculiar spectacle of a body of men calling tfcemsetv** Oemocrats, declaring their adher ence to Jefer&oniao principles, and 8t tbf same time adopting ?r?solutions showing a belief in the principles of centralization. What does the demaad for government ownership of railroads mean but eeotrniiza iion ? What does tfee eab-Vee^ury demand mean but centralisation, fer by it every farm er would be brought into the condition of an abject dependent oo tbe bounty of &e gov ernment? When tbe scheme is put ioto ope-: *T*t?on it will be uael&u to apeak of Democracy, tor st will be a cubing of tbe past. If Democracy xaeans anything, it means that we are to have local eetf-govemmeret, the nearest approach to individual t>o?-eroi??*nt, which is tbe best government, when tbe indivi duals coodact themselves according to rhe rules of equity and justice, and such conduct is all that a government seeks to obtain. It would not surprise us to see "Looking Backward" adopted as a Democratic consti tution At no distant day, if things go oo as tbey am sow going. liZarca law. A Lftaeess County negre named Dave Shaw, wae loeoosed of tare* n y and a mes ted oo a warrant from Trial Jus'iee HeKaros. While in the custody of two constables he ?" a? seized by a posse of men, wbo i tiruir 4 tied the constable:. Shaw has disappetutd and bis body bas not yet been found, but at one place there were evidences that a crowd had been collected together and that violence had been done to some person. A rope was found swinging from a limb and there was blood on the rope and a pool of blood on the ground. As yet no one ap pears to know who took part in the mob. The country is being searched for Shaw, either dead or alive, and unless he is found the national conclusion will be tkat he was done to death. This is an ontrage and the perpetrators should be bucied down and punished to the utmost extent of the law. Even if the negro was aot murdered in cold blood, the mob is guilty of an offence against the laws of the State and should be punished, but if the negro was killed, then hanging is the just deserts of the individual members of the mob, for it is murder in the the most cowardly form. There is but one offence that justifies lynching, and there is no one to raise a voice against lynch law ander such circumstances, but when a body of men take it upon themselves to put a helpless prisoner to death for stealing a few dollars worth of goods, then it is time for all law-abiding men to cry out agiast the iniquity. It is the duty of the State officials to tbor oughly ferret out this matter and to see that the dignity of the law is maintained and that no guilty party escapes. POLITICAL RESOLUTIONS. A meeting of negroes wa3 held in the Sec ond Calvary Church, Columbia, S. C. on the evening of May 31st. After a number of speeches had been m*de, resolutions were adopted appealing to law abiding citizens of all races to unite for the purpose of putting a stop to lynch-law in the Southern States. This meeting, like numbers of others being held throughout the country, was gotten up solely for political effect, and to manufacture bloody-shirt campaign thunder for the Force Bill Republicans. There is bo doubt that the freqnent lynchings are calculated to destroy a respect for law, but lynchings also occur in the North and West as well as in the South. If we appeal for the suppression of lynch law, let us appeal for its suppression everywhere, and not only in the Southern States. Our colored friends may rest assured of one thing. So long as negroes outrage white women, just that long will lynch law be ap pealed to for quick and certain punishment. Let these colored friends adopt some more resolutions warning the members of their race to behave themselves and abstain from crime, which if heeded, will have more effect ia suppressing lynch law, than if they were to meet every day for the next ten years and adopt resolutions denouncing lynchers at every meeting. KOT A SONNET. We have an important addition to our office force. We now own, in fee simple, a "Howling Thomas" of engaging and insinuat ing manners. This Thomas is a double dis tilled Straightout and a Democrat of the strictest sect. In honor of the commencement season we have dyed the tip of his nose, his whiskers and the bottom of his feet, a bright red, which signifies that this is a gala occasion, and, at the same time, is a badge of bis Dimocracy. Being out of blue ink we could not put a streak of that color around his neck to harmonize with our visions of sweet girl graduates and blue ribbons. The above is dedicated to our new office cat. Fair Play Will be Given. Democrats in every section of the State will be glad to read the correspondence given below, for it shows that th? conservatives fully recognize the authority of the State Democratic Executive Committee und will pay due obedience to its behests. Mr. Di??ble writes as follows: HeaDO/JA rtkrs of the coxskkvativr Democracy ok Socxn Carolina, Columbia, S. C, May 17, 18:>2. Hon. John ! . M Irby. Chairman of the State Democratic Committee of South Carolina. SiR: A convention of South Carolina Democrat.-", acknowledging full allegiance to the regular party organization and claiming equal rights with alt other Democrats as members of the party, has namrd as candi dates for nomination to State office?: John C. Sheppard of EdgefiVld, as candidate for Governor; James L. Orr of Greenville, as candidate for'Lieutenant Governor; Lau rens M. Yonmana of Barn well, as candidate for Secretary of State; W. Perry Murphy of Colleton, as candidate for Attorney Getierai ; E. R. Mclver of Darlington, as candidate for State Treasurer: Joseph B Humbert ot Laurens, as candidate for Comptroller Gen eral; Rer. D. M. Hiott of Anderson, as can didate for State Superintendent of Educa tion, ajnd W. Woodward Dixon of York, as candidate for Adjutant aod Inspector Genend, and have a committee ch?r>:ed with the duty of presenting th^-se candidates to the Democ racy of the State, and of submitting to the Democratic voters at the August primary the the cames of delgates to the September con vention favorable to the nomination of the candidates above named. A3 chairman of the said committee I de sire to reiterate, in behalf of our entire or ganization, our allegiance to the Democratic party of South C:roii<:a, the national Demo cratic party tf the United States, the con stitution of the Domocratic party of the State, and of the jurisdiction of the commit tee over which you preside as the'Executive Committee of the enure Democracy of South Carolina. Submitting cur ticket to the arbitrament of the Democratic voters at the August primary, tinder all the rules of the party, we, of course, claim from the State Democratic Committee, irrespective of the personal predilections of its members, ?qua! and exact justice?no more and no less?in the arrangements for campaign meetings appointed by the State Democratic Committee, and in the conduct of the primary election, which is to decide upon the nominations for the Star?, hy the selection of delegates to the September con vention, and ? am r" .d to notice. Ux reported interviews giren uy y cm to the preSe, that as the head of the Democratic pa: 'y of the State you candid ly and fully accord to us til is claim as one of right and justice. Communicating with you in this spirit I desire Co ascertain tiie r:i!ing of the Stnte Democratic Committee upon a point not com prehended by u? dearly, as expressed in the constitution of the party. It is this: Article Vi provides that the nominating convention for State officers shall be com posed of delegates frota each County, in the numereial proportio? to which such County is entitled ia bot?i orauches of the General Assembly. Our inquiry is, whether tJw number of del egates in e?ch County shall be. equal to the Rtnuberof members of th* (general Assembly to which each County is entitled ; or shall be double tint number, as has been the custom in the conventions hitherto, including the May convention of this year? Also, whether alternates maybe voted for at the primary, or whether the delegates shall fill sracane'es. Please present thesv views to the State Kk ecutive Committee at the meeting about to be held, and favor me with an earlj reply, and obi ig*-, v?uri truly, Samuel Dibble, Chairman. The reply is as follow? : Columbia, S C, May 18, 1892. Hon. Samuel Diobie, Chairman, Orangeburg, S. C. My Dear Sj? : In reply to your communi cation of recent date, i neg leave to pay that in the appointment of the times and places for holding j >int di$?*i?$ionfl in South Caroli na, the committee ba-ve been fj*Lr and impar tial us to the opposing candidates for State J The committee desite me to say that it will j :onform to the cus'om of having two dele-! rates for every representative in the "General ; Assembly in 'neSta:e nominating convention or each Counjy as heretofore, and that it ; frill be unnecessary to elect alternates, for j Udegalea wi'i have the privilege of filling j raca:icie3. Very respectfully, your obedient lervant. J L M. Irky. Chairman, | Per WitOe JoueS, Ac ting Secretary. ? C luttibia uCyiniyT. Coneernirjg Tindal. Editor Columbia Register ?I have read with surprise a slauderous statemeut about the Hon. J. E. Tindal. I lived near biru and met him almost every week during the years of Radical rule. No man in the county had a greater disgust for Radicalism or made greater sacrifices for the Democratic party, i As for his enteitaming Mackey, that was perhaps due to me. Mackey met me in the road and asked where he might spend the night. He meant to ask me to take him, but it was out of the way or I should have done I it. I directed him to Mr. Tindal's, and he went there. At that time neither Mr. Tindal nor anv of us knew anything of Mackey, ex cept that he and one Butts were opposing each other for Congress, in which we took no interest. We beard about him afterward, j when Mr. O'Connor entered the race for Con gress Rgainst Mackey. Mr. Tindal took an active part for Mr. O'Connor, carried him through the County in his *>wn vehicle and recruited him when sick at bis home, and did all in his power for his election. Any insinua tion against Mr. Tindal about this is utterly and absolutely false. I was among those who condemned him jus? after the war. The newspapers and poli ticians wete denouncing General Grant as a blackguard and proclaiming the certainty of Seymore's electiou. The people were excited. Many of them had been dragged up before the i military by the negroes, which greatly incens ! ed them, and they wanted to believe that Grant would be defeated. Mr. Tindal had the boldnes9 to declare the negro code a fatal blunder, that Grant would be elected, tb*t the course the State was pursuing was unwise, that the proper thing and only thing we could do was to engraft in our Constitution the right of the negroes to vote when they could read the Constitution, and treat with the United States government for that settlement of the dispute ; that if we did not. do that uni versal suffrage would be forced upon us and the State would go to the bad. I had a hot dispute with him, but afterward, as all his old frieuds did, saw that his judgment was right. I knew his family intimately and thestatement that his nearest relatives scorned him is ab solutely false. Jno. H. Mahoney. Silver, S. <!., May 15, 1892. m . -t?

Washington, May 30, 1892 Mr. Harrison is the first, and it i3 hoped that he may be the last President who ever personally took charge of the canvas to get himself renominated, and it is only since the Blaine boom assumed such daogerous pro portions that Mr Harrison so far forgot his dignity as to do so. But there is noqnestion about his having taken the management of his fight into bis own hands. Whether this was hecause he doubted the honesty or the politi cal sagacity of Secretaries Etkinsand Foster, or because he feared they woujd carry out their threats of revolt if he transferr-d the management of his affairs to Join C. New, is more than your correspondent cares to say, but whatever the cause, Mr. Hanison is perso nally bossing his own political machine, tele grams signed by him are being sent to the shaky delegates among the "instructed", and he is tobe kept in instantaneous communica tion with the Minneapolis convention by means of a private telegraph wire Since as-u cing command Mr. Harrison has instructed his fighting men to hit every Blaine head that comes up, and hi3 supporters are now openly threatening that if they cannot nominate Harrison they can at least prevent the nomination of Blaine without a struggle so bitter that he cannot accept without prac tically confessing that his February letter was but a shrewd move toward getting the nomi nation. Ex Cztr Reed, who has made up with Mr. Biaine, with wh? m he has been on bad terms for years, is shedding no tears over the situation, as it is on the programme for him to fall heir to the Blaine ttrengih, if for any reason Mr. Blaineshall decide not to make use of it for himself; he also experts to be made temporary chairman of the convention. R-presentative Stevens, of Massachusetts' has introduced a tariff bill bill, cohering the metn! 8- hedule, which is the result of many consultations with his democratic colleagues on the House Ways and Means committee. It places iron ore and scrap iron on the free list, and about cu's in half the duties on manufac tured metal, as they are in the McKinley law. The bill is based upon the report of the U. S. Commissioner of Labor, upon the compara tive cost of manufacture< of iron and steel in the United States and Europe, and Mr. Stev ens cays the proposed durits are more than sufficient to cover the whole difference between the co*t of articles manufactured in thr United States and in Great Britaio. More than that no manufacturer has even the shadow of a right to claim. Representative Hatch's motion to take up the anti-option bill, notwithstanding the derision of the democratic caucus that the appropriation bills were to have exclusive right of way until tbey are all disposed of, receivrd the solid snpport of the republicans of the House and enough democratic votes to make a tie vote on the motion. Whether Mr. Hatch will have better luck when he makes another trial, is a question?he undoubtedly thinks he will, and that the bill will be passed by the Houee before adjournment. Representative Johnson, of Indiana, has been heartily cursed, on the quiet, by the republican leaders for having given away the sentiments of Mr. Harrison on the force bill. They say that if Johnson had the sense he was born with he would have known that he could not have po'sibly pleased the Democrats better than by m?king such a speech as he made last week. Some of then pretend to believe that Johnson was "put up" to it by some wicked democrat in search of campaign material for his party. Whatever the cause, the party got the campaign amrauoiticn. The Senate will give the country some silver talk for a while, but just how long it would be difficult to say, in the discussion of Senator Stewart's free coinage bill, which was some time ago adversely reported by the Finance committee, and which is to come up tomorrow as the "unfinished business." Senators opposed to the bill admit that it will pass by a majority of from 1 to 5 if it is allowed to reach a vote, aud there is a suspicion afloat that they do not propose to allow it to come to a vote. Mr. Blaine is again at ht3 Washington residence, but he is not doing any talking, at least that is what the favored few who get to see him say. He listens and smiles, but says not a word that can by any possible twisting be made to give even the slightest indication of how ! -?gards the efforts that are being made for nim, or whether he will accept if t.iey are successful in getting him nominated. Secretary Elkins is sulking. He was to have gone to Rochester with Mr. Harrison, but at the last minute he refused positively to go. He is suspected of having a leaning toward Blaine, and he know3 it, which cau { ses him to magnify the significance of little things. From a national standpoint it would have been difficult for the Governor of Virginia to have selected a more satisfactory successor to the late Senator Harbour than Gen. Eppa liunton. ???-^m^??? ? Destructive Storms in Williamsburg County. Kisr.sTREE, S. C, May 24.? Heavy rains have been general in this county the past few days. In the Grteleyville section, along the San tee and Black rivers, and in and around Harperg, on the Georgetown & Western rail road, severe tornadoes accompanied with destructive hail storms, did much damage, unroofing houses, uprooting trees and almost totally destroying crops of all kinds. Edwin Harper says Charleston, after the earthquake, did not show more complete destruction. Hail is said to have drifted till it was three feet deep ia fence corners. No lives lost.
