It would sot we a bad idea to boil all wa used for drinking purposes. It will io yo little trouble and may prevent aa attack fever, which is quite pr?taient at present. The terms offered the phosphate mia? whose works were destroyed by the cyclo by the Phosphate Commission, are liberal, t the miners should not expect an y greater e cessoa. We are indebted to HOB. W. Jasper 1 bert for a copy of his speech oo the sil question, io the House of Represent at i res Acgast 18th, and to Hon. Geo. W Mun for a copy of his speech on the same subj* delivered on August 24th. Senator Irby is said to be mad with G< Tillman because be would not believe tl Jim Tillman was the liar and Irby the tra teller in the Farley-Irby-Craddock-Jim T maa embroglio. Close political associati nay have weakened the Governor's faith regard to some things. Yellow fever bas broken out again Brunswick, 6a. About ten days ago the ci was declared free from fever and the quart tine against it was removed, bat now t fever has become more epidemic than at a previous time and there is much sufferi among those remaining tn the city. The Chicago Tribune is responsible for t statement that the bankers of the West ti almost unanimously opposed to the repeal the ten per cent, tax on Stete bank circu? tioo. This may or may not be true, but any event the Democrats should not besitat It if their duty to repeal the law, and tl country demands it. It eau be said in Senator Irby's favor th. be is not in Washington wearying the cont try talking about silver, but it is no* great! io his credit that be was tn Colombia y este day drank as a lord and drew bis pistol o two hackmen. It is said be will be arreste when he next returns to Colombia, but th* remains to be seen. There is an immense crop of grass this y a and it is not an exaggeration to say that i least one-half will be allowed to go to wast? It witt pay the farmers to eave al! that the possibly caa. Daring the earning winter an spring there will be a ready sale for all clean - well-eared bay that is placed on tbv "Jarket Let as have Sn rater County bay instt ic Western hay. The Democrats io the House, having dis posed ot the silver question, as seemed best ti - them, without unnecessary delay and sent i to the Senate, where the Senators are killie] rime and wearying the patience of the country without accomplishing anything, are no? engaged In the praiswortby effort to repea the infamous Republican Federal electioi laws. A repeal in the House is probable. It is a neat little scheme to control politic that the Alliance is said to have, bot will i work? As a believer ia true democrat it principles and not in the so-called democracy now controlling affairs in this Stale, we bavt little choice between Populism and Tillman ism, if any preference it is for Populism un? disguised, but from a miscegenation of Pop? ulism and Tillmanism may some po wei deliver os. . Chief Dispenser Traxler is getting int? trouble oo all sides. His church is after bim Vi th a sharp stick, as it is against the roles to sell liquor. Aod DOW George T. Thompson, Esq., of Barnwell, is after bia with a suit be? fore the Supreme Court, for selling liquor to the Barnwell dispensary at a profit of 100 per cent, instead of 50 per cent., as provided by law. This is aa interesting point and we are glad it is to be raised in a legal way. The siller Senators are more than food ol the sound of their own voices or they would nave long ceased to talk oe the sil ver quest iou. lt may be that they are applying, literally, the old saying; "speech is silver, but silence is gold." So long as they prevent the repeal of the Sherman law by speech making silver most be purchased by the Treasury, bot, if they keep silent, the repeal bili will come to a vote and pam, and for a time, at least? the gold basis will exist alone. The Senate has been petitioned by Federal pensioners, praying that they be protected against toe officials of the Pension Office, wno are seeking to deprive them of their pensions. This is self condemnatory, for the Pension officials, nader the direction of Secretary Hoke Smith, are seeking only to purge the pension rolls of the fradulent pensioners, and the honest ex-soldiers have nothing to fear, or lose, from the investigations. Let the good work go on-the galled jade winces ! The Regents of tue Insane Asylum did exactly right in ref usine to comply with coo? tia oed exactions of toe organization of fire insurance companies known as the South Eastern Tariff Association. This association has required the Regents to make changes tn the Asylum electrical plant each year, and each change bas required a heavy outlay. The Regents have served notice that the in? surance companies may cancel all policies, if they do not care to take risks on the Asylum as it is. Some two months ago the administration dispensary i tes were loud in asserting that taxation would be reduced to a minimum by tba large profit from the dispensaries. Now they are singing a different tobe since tue profits fail to materialize Its the curtailment of the liquor traffic they are after, not profits; a great moral reform, not the reduction of taxes. Yes, to be sure! There is nothing like being id ministration organ-grinders, they render so accurately the notes supplied from headquarters. A oura ber of soft drink daalers were ar? rested in Columbia last week for sel Hog rice beer. They gave bond in the sum of $200 each and were released. The dispensai y authori? ties have had samples of the rice beer analyzed, and it: was found to contain more than the 2j per cent, of alcohol that non-ir>loxicaot drinks are permitted by law to have. These dealers claim to be guaranteed against damage by the Palmetto Brewery. It is tb? dealers' business to know what sort of staff they are selling, and if they bave violated the law they should suffer for it. The financial situation iu New York must be incomparably easier than it was two weeks ago. Theo cash was at a premtnm of 2? per cent.; now the banks bave so much gold, silver and legal tender notes on hand that they do not know what to do wno it. This money is snid to have come from toe country banks? and, if this be true, it indicates that the money boarded away during the scare is be? ing returned to circulation. Those who with? drew their money from the baal? gained nota tog Wad injured tween tim cou at rr more thoo an? one ? able to estimate io dollars nod coots. And now wheo it is apparently all at an end, we are more than over of the opinion that the panic wat brought abowt for a par pose by those who control the money centers of the country. This sudden plethora is a auspicious circumstance. Miss Clara Barton of the Red Cross Society and several of her assistants together with GOT Tillman and party have, within the last few days, made a tour of the sea island cyclone district for the purpose of obtaining an idea of the extent of the damage, and amount of suffering now existing. Miss Barton aud assistants were impressed with the magnitude of the disaster aud have decided to enter the field and work for the relief of the sufferers. By unanimous consent of Gov. Tillman aud the Relief Committees the eu ti re work of relief has been placed in charge of the Red Cross Society. Col. Ben Terrell is' to lecture al different places in this Slate duriug the next few months on Alliance principles. For personal satisfaction, merely-we suppose the public i3 better informed than this writer-we would be glad for some one to tell us the political principles of Col. Terrell, and if his principles are those of thc Alliance, or are the principles of the Alliance bis? Is the Alliance in this State a detached corps of the Populist party, or is it a uon-partisau organ z*tiou, composed of men, free to vote as they think without re? gard to oath-bound caucuses? Is Col. Terrell a Democrat or a Populist? Does he seek to re-organize the Alliance or to disorganize the Democracy ? These questions occur to us as to an outsider. The sigus of the times seem to point lo an inward movement of the Alliance to discover whether the Populist strength is yet sufficient to warrant the discarding ol their Demoratic sheep's clothing. Our Exchanges. The Gaffney Nari is the latest addition to our exchange list. It ie a worthy candidate for popular favor, and we wish it success. The Picken* Sentinel with its last issue at? tained its twenty-second year. The Sentinel's continued success and present bright outlook is noted with pleasure. It is a paper of the right metal, and is one of our most valued exchanges. The Spartanbury Daily Herald has entered upon its fourth year. Mr. Cbas. H. Henry formerly of the Greenville News bas purchased a half iuterest in the paper aud will hare charge of the business department. Mr. J. C. Garlington, whose editorials have made the Herald one of ;the most often quoted and highly respected journals iu South Carolina, will continue to fill the editorial chair. That be will fill it well goes without saying. The Annual Trade Raview of Tlu yews and Courier, a notice of which was omitted last week on account of t be sn usual pressure on our space, is a most favorable showing for Charles? ton during the past year. I tis remarkable that the trade ot the city held up se well dur? ing a year of such general depression. The News and Courier, in this Annual Review, does a great work for tbs cuy it so ably, represents. Tue State bas put in typesetting machines, and in a short time the entire paper will be printed from machine-set type. We trust the State will find the venture a paying one, and that it will enter upon an era ol renewed prosperity. The State fills a sphere in journal? ism in this State that no other paper now existing can fill. It is an object lesson in fearless, out-spoken, consistent adherence to principle. At times the State seems too bitter, even vindictive, in rubbing salty truth into the raw places on the political bodies of its opponents Yet we enjoy tue.fun. The Plan of the Next Campaign Candidate* Mutt Answer the Alliance Cale' chum. From the ?State, Sept. 16. While every one is seemingly ab? sorbed iu the national political matters that aro exciting the interest of the entire country, those who are interested in the next State election in South Carolina, are alive and at work laying their plans for this campaign. Thc time is not far off now when South Carol i ua politics will be thc one absorb ?og topic again. It is bot a few short months before the campaign will be fairly opened, and everything is work? ing on the under current right now for the early opening of the show. The conting campaign is goiug to be eutirely differeut from anything tbat bas ever been known iu the State be? fore-certainly entirely differeut from anything knowu in the last four years. There will bc au element in the coming campaign which will relegate the real State politics far in the rear and make national issues the borden of the whole fight. It will seem safe, too, from what eao be ascertained, to say that the bitter personal State feeling will be elimaoated and a feeling perhaps as bitter will take its place, which feeling will be caused by the prosecotiou of national questions, repugnant to a Urge proportion of the people of the State There is Bot going to bc a'y Till manism and ?nti-Tillmanism as those terms have been applied heretofore. Tillman will not be in the eampaigu at ali except insofar as his fight for thc Senate ts concern ed, bot the Alliance is going to take bis place io the attempt to dictate things. As Tillman's inter? ests are the Alliance's interests and vice versa, he will of course take a baud Lo the real State fight so far as that is concerned. Bot none of h is pe t sch em es will be made issues io thc comiog tight. He is looking for bigger game DOW The Alliance is spreading itself to take the leading role in the State campaign as an organization and a re? form candidate will it teems, be worse than nothing in the present Tillman camp onleas be has the Alliance at bis back, lt is going to start in the next few months to prosecute the most pecu? liar and interesting oampaign that has perhaps ever been seen iu this country, and the coming of Bea Terrell, thc National Alliance lecturer to make a tour among the Alliaocemeo of the State in the next month, meaus oo more or less than the starting of tbe campaign work. The ?kate representative bad a long talk yesterday with oue of the most prominent Alliance politicians io the State sod be said poiot blank that thc Alliance was simply going to wait a little wbiie till Congress acted un thc silver problem, and then the State oampaign wonld open immediately and be pushed for all it was worth strictly opon national issues. He said further that ordioary State matters which have in the past characterized tbc State campaigns in this State woold be entirely wanting. He says the campaign will opeo io dead earnest not later than Janoary. He does not think that Tillman will be abie to dictate to the people who shall compose the State ticket unies ike meu he names are thoroughly satisfactory to the Alliance He says the reform party, as a party, if it attempts to go ahead without pay ?ag any attention to tie Al li? anes will oot be io it at all. He says that Norris, Tindal, W 1). j Evans and John Gary Evans will be ' the four candidates representing th* Alliance and reform patty jointly Hi thinks that Tindal will be the coman* mau He says that W. D Evan would teally be the stronger man, bu he is handicapped in being the presiden of the State Alliance. The rules of thi order require that a mau, when he ac cepts that office, caouot run for auy po litioal office He does not think (ha these four men will go into the priman and stand fur election Such a thing would be suicidal to the Alliance and t< the Reform party, as it would split uj the vote. His idea is that these met will be thoroughly questioned by tb< various Alliances A preliminary con veuttuu will be held early in the spring and the man who agrees to the dem od? of the Alliance in the most satisfactorj way will bc nominated and support?e by ?be Alliance and the Reformers, wlu arc uuu-Alliancctueu, tu a tuan Out tbiog is certain, every mau who wauti office will be obliged to go through the Alliaucc catechism as soon 'as he auuouuces his candidacy, aud long before the primary comes around it will be kuowu exactly bow they staud un ali national issues that will have a bearing un the rumored Farmers' party which is tu lake a big part in the South in thc next Presidential campaign. The mau referred tu when asked about the plau uf campaign yesterday said that wurk would soon begin iu accordance with the fullowing resolu tiuus passed by the State Alliaucc at its last meeting : In urder tu further protect our de manus aud force them as au issue in thc political campaigus the executive com? mittee uf this body is hereby instructed to submit the latest legislative demands of tbe National Farmers' Alliance aud Industrial Union tu each candidate fur a State office aud request a written an? swer witbuut ambiguity ur equivocation upon the following questions: "First-'Will you discuss the Alli? ac?e demands io tbe coming campaign, particoiarly those relatiug to the finances uf the country, and defend them against the enemies of uur Order ?" "Second--* Will you pledge loyalty to the demands of the National Farmer's Alliance and Industrial Union above loyalty tu party caucus and vute against any aud all candidates wbo decline to commit themselves to this extent ?'' "4. That thc executive committee of the District Alliance and Cuuuty Alliance are hereby instructed to carry into effect resolutious with respect to'all candidates fur office within their respec? tive jurisdictions. "5 That tbe executive committee of this Alliance shall have printed the above questions and answers thereto, and have copies transmitted to every subordinate Alliance in the State, and the District and County Alliances are advised and urged to adopt the same course. "6. That a copy ?>f these resulutiuns be seul not by the ecretary to each Al? liance in the State.1' These resulutioos he says will be car? ried ont tu the very letter The que? tioos will be priutcd and placed in thc hands of every Alliance in the State, no matter how small, befure the month of January arrives, aud every man who is seekiog office, even d- wu to the candidates fur the Legislature will be required tu answer them Theil thc Alliance will prucecd tu agree tu vute as a budy fur the men who accede must thuruu: * ly tu the demands uf the organization . In this WKy the Alliance meo uf tbe State will kuow lung befurc anyone else exactly how tvery utan stands and will be guverued aceurd iogly. He sayw there will be nothing tu pre? vent any Conservative candidate, if auy is put up for auy office, making re spouses to these questions also. Altogether it seems tu bc a great scheme, one calculated to prevent any air aud opeu fight by any mau upon his personal merits, for-any office in the State. Senator Butler will have tu gu through the same precess, and su will all others even down to candidates fur trial justiceships, no doubt. But no matter how it ends the above is the situation as it uuw appears, and the outlook for thc future, audit need unly be said that Suuth Carolina is guing to witness the must remarkable and uovel campaign next spring that has ever been known in any State Like the dispensary law, and several other things uf like uature, this campaign will attract widespread netice from its very novelty. If yuu have sick or nervous headache, take Ayer's Cathartic Pills. They will cleanse the stomach, restore healthy action to the digestive organs, remove effete matter (the presence of which depresses the t;erves ?nd brain), and thus give speedy relief.
