The City Council has taken no action - on, die-circular of Governor Tillman io regard to the performance of dispensary constable duty by the oity policemen, and it is sot probable that any action will be taken, as the anti-blind tiger or? dinance of November 20th is deemed sufficient. If Gov. Tillman is not satis? fied with this ordinance, and the atti? tude of both City Cooocil and the peo? ple of Sumter, and bas a strong desire tosiese the city's share of the dispensary profits, he can-do so, as the Saw was framed for such a purpose. The Louisiana Lottery having been driven out of thc United Sutes, bas meted to Honduras, where, it is said, the proprietors intend establishing a magnificent and luxurious winter resort, where gambling will be the priocipsl amusement. Monaco will serve as a model, bot even this luxurious and stu? pendous European gambling bell ia to be surpassed. A Hoe of steamers will ply between Port Tampa, Fla., and Honduras to accommodate the travel. A quorum of Democrats has been secured tn Congress, but not without a great effort. The Sergeant-at-Arms had warrants of arrest issued for quite a number of absentees, including Mc? laurin, Strait and Talbert, of this State, but a sufficient number reached Washington to make a quorum on Mon day?nd the warrants were rescinded. The Democrats of the Honse appear to be trying to get together on the tariff, and the prospect of the passage of the Wilson bill is now brighter. Many psople accept it as a fact tba the senatorial race will be between Gov. Tillman and Senator Butler, and that there is no* prospect of a third candidate. A few, among the number being Senator Butler himself, profess to believe that be has a good chance of victory. Per? haps so, if he can carry the votes of one half of Gov. Tillman's staunch sup? porters of former years. He has lost many friends among bis former most steadfast adherents by his endorsements of Perry and Caaghman, and the as? sumption that be had a dead clinch on the votes of the Conservatives. He will find when the campaign waxes warm in these parts that many voters will not belong to him. Votes are not real pro? perty by a long shot-not in this sec? tion, anyway. The Irby plan of campaign is to e^a?r mg within ^t^rfr^sr rings ; I and on Iv those accepta ble to himself and TB^an?-??e^to^ allowed fixed Refawm is a great scheme for ! ofice-seekers wno have the good will of the hftqps. is'oaer and Ben Perry is I not T?Tler Slmuel A.

How do those people who were iofluenced to sign the petition by the hope of profits feei about the ^matter now ? Atlanta has gone to work with vim and enthusiasm preparing for aa Expo? sition to be held next year. An organisation has been perfected and $200,000, raised to start with*- The company will be chartered with the privilege of increasing the capital to $1,000,000. Congress will be asked toaidtbeesterprise, and the pushing, energetic people of Atlanta will leave no means untried to make the Expo j^l^y^ijfT;, if m wi ever heM in the South. * A?? * this enterprise, this energy, thia assured talk of such great expenditure of money sounds strange from a town in which twelve hundred homes were advertised to be sold for taxes only a few weeks ago. But it is this that made Atlanta what she is, aad ''the people knowing the fast, propose to keep it ap and to secure as great an advertisement as possible out of it. The South needs a Jew .more.. Atlantas, or rather we should say many towns in the South need the spirit of Atlanta and her people;: We understand that the Refawmers have concluded that it is no longer needful to keep up the pretence of s"rotronchmeni... and reform.'* They fo??dVthat theycould not retrench any without affecting their own pap, which was.not what they are here for; and that in any other case where a cat was made io one place an increase had to be made somewhere else. Thus end the chapter of "reform and retrench, ment" The "something rotten inj I Denmark" cry bas been stilled these j many days; but now wo may say j with good cause, there is something: rotten ia the State of Denmark ! Be fore us passes io review a herd of I grade cows on their way to the Asylum ; a herd of engrossing clerks boa tiing oat of the State House ; a herd of dispen? sary spies; lawyers fees to the amount of $15.000 ; a weak, bot cringing ly willing orgao, existing by virtu re of several thousand . dollars shamelessly filched from the treasury, a gang ol negroes ruling Charleston, but why go on, it is all a matter of record and the i reckoning will come alter a time. Col. Henry Watterson, the dis tin -\ guished Kentucky editor, is walking into the Wilson tariff bill with spars on. He repudiates it at a compromise be? tween a tariff for revenue only and the old Republican protection. He demanda a pare and simple revenue tariff aitb oo hint of inciden tal protection. He want? the issue made io Congress on such a bill, and if there defeated, he ?ya the Democratic party eau go before the country with clean hands and a clear record with which to continue the fight against the robber tarriff and the robber barons. He desires a strict construc? tion of the party platform io respect to the tariff, and asserts that it would be better for all parties if this view should j prevail among the Democratic Congress men. But it is difficult to conceive how it would bc possible to secure to ! j such a tariff measure the support of I Democratic Congressmen when such j numbers have strenuously objected to I the Wilson bill as too radical and sweep : ing. Col. Watterson's oration sounds : nice, but within the last year or two he ' has proved himself to be wholly wrong . in just as nice sounding orations. Per I haps he is. Who knows? And since . the members of thc Ways and Means : Committee-leading Democrats-have ! agreed cn the Wilson bill as thc best ; under the present circumstances, they ! are deserving of as much credence as I Col. Watterson. Court convened in Orangeburg County on Monday morning but was quickly adjourned on account of a defect in the law providing for thc drawing of the Juries passed at the last session of the Legislator?. The O range borg correspondent of The Neics and Courier give? the following account of the incident : "To 611 the vacancy caused by the death ot Jury Commissioner Riggs, Governor Tillman on the 13th of December- appointed C. D. Kortjobo as jury commissioner for this county. Under bis duties Mr. Kortjobo with tbe clerk of Court and chairman Of the board, of county commissioners, prepared the new jury Rsm for'?894 and drew the grand and petit juries for the January term. In the meantime, however, the Legislature enacted a law abolishing the office of jury commissioner arid' devolving all bis duties upon a board to be composed of the county treasurer, auditor and clerk of Coori. This Act was approved December 18, white the juries were not drawn by Mr. Kortjobo until December 27. The jury lists were thus prepared and the juries were drawn by persons who under the new law bad no author? ity to draw them. Mr. Browning, representing the members of the Bar, made a motion challenging the ?rray of grand and petit jurors upon the grounds above set forth. Mr. T. M. Raysor. Mr. Herbert and Mr. Abial Lathrop supported the motion. Solici? tor Jerver concurred with the Bar that the defect was fatal and urged the ! discharge of the juries. Judge Town- j seod accordingly issued an order dis charging the grand and petit juries. Toe Judge will return here on Wed? nesday next to dispose of civil business and equity matters not requiring jury, j The criminal business will go over to the May term. In order to save expense sod avoid hardships to the prisoners in jail the solicitor consented to bail in all cases where it was possi? ble." THE DEMOCRACY. The present outlook of the- National D?mocratie Party is not pregnant with probabilities of future victories. It seems, on the other hand, that the party; or, rather, its representatives in Congres?, is courting repudiation by the truly democratic masses and consequent defeat and di*integratioo. The Demo? cratic Party has reached another crisis in its own history ; aud it remains yet within the power of our representstive.? to meet the crisis in democratic and statesmanlike manner, seize the oppor? tunity presented and make the party I an instrument of untold benefit to the people of the land. But they are frittering away the time, allowing the favored moment te pass unutilised; and disappointment, distrust and resent? ment are beginning to take the place of the entire confidence reposed in the Democratic majority one year ago. As we said above, the majority can yet regain the confidence of the people, but the redemption of the party can be wrought only - by means of works relieving us from the burdens left by the Repub? licans. The people repudiated the Republican party by an overwhelming vote and committed the entire government into the bands of the Democracy. But this was done with certain clearly implied conditions-tbe Democratic platform and wheo these conditions are not ful? filled the party will prove itself recreant to the trust imposed in it, and will be repudiated. If the Democrats of Con? gress are to be subservient to the pro? tected classas andiail to give us relief, then tee must in self defence get rid of them and elect new men who will have some respect for the pledges of the party they claim to represent. A thor? ough overhauling of the party will be necessary, or the true democrats of the nation will find themselves in the same position as the true democrats of South Carolina now occupy, that of affiliation with an organization non-democratic in every respect save that of name. They will have either to repudiate the fore ! sworn representatives and purify the party or leave it. There are many of the Democratic Congressmen who are laboring to carry out their pledges and earnestly desire the enactment of laws for the relief of the country, but they find themselves ham? pered by other so-called democrats who have either gone bodily over to the enemy, or absent themselves and allow the Republican minority to dominate the situation. Que class is as untrue to thc party and the people who elected them as the other. The first are open deserters, while the others are cowardly skulkers, and both should be held accountable at the polls. They are using the surest means within their power to wreck the Democracy and they do so knowingly, for they are well aware that the party as a whole will be held accountable for thc unredeemed pledges, whose redemption was pre? vented by the desertion of the party. The Democrats of South Carolina will have a score to ?ettie with several of the Refawm Congressmen, who failed to be OD band and perform the duty due Democracy, to which they profess to belong. Their conduct seems to say j quite, plainly that they prefer to see the j party wrecked than that the unjustly ! burdened masses should receive, at the hands of the Democracy, relief from the robber tariff. A Pointed Reply. . -? Mayor W. G. Chafes, of Aiken, who, by the way, is the author of the ''Prophecies of Zeracbaboam," which have been published from time to time in this paper, bas written the following letter in reply to the circulars sent out to all towns by Gov. Till ni an : AIKEN, S. C , Jan. 3rd, 1894 STATS BOARD OF CONTROL, COLUMBIA, S. C. SIR : I acknowledge by doe course of mail, your communication without date directed to ibe Mayor.of Aiken. I Satter myself that lam acquainted with my duties as Mayor of the city and do not seek instructions from your Board or any one else My police force has always and now bas instruction to report alt violations of thc liquor law and I stand prepared to act in any proper case and punish all offenders. If you expect me to become an ally of your dirty spies and act the sneak upon my neighbors I must respectfully decline: Your game, I presume, like the fabled story of the wolf and the lamb, is on some pretext or other, to rob the various municipalities of their share of the dispensary profits to which they are, under the law entitled, however this may be, I am ready at any time to aid you in what I deem a proper case. Yours, W. G. CHAFER, Mayor City of Aiken. A CARD. T~ Tbree papers io this State having seen fit to unkindly charge that I bad associated with me a negro as editor of The Sumter Herold I desire to make the following expiai nation : Daring December the band of afSction was most grievously laid upon me, sod only such things received my attention as were impera? tively urgent. The conduct and man? agement of my two papera was left entirely io other iiands. Mr. A. W. Knight, my . local editor and business manager in Sumter (and to whom I have sold Thc Herald), mentioned to me during that time that be thought it would be a good idea to get Re?, jp A. Sro wo a colored preacher, to W'r?te a column "of news especially fors the colored people. I approved of the plan and told bim to use bis judgment. The Herald basa considerable number of colored sub? scribers, and such news is really of interest to all subscribers. The idea was not new, for The Manning Time* baa io years past fre? quently published a similar eolomn, aud would have continued it but for the fact tbat we found it difficult to get a good correspon? dent. This column waa never edited by the negro : be simply furnished the news the same as any other correspondent, and it was regularly .edited, in Jtbe. office, omitting any? thing that won id be objectionable. Mr. Knight mad elbe mistake of putting ' 'Edited by J. A.In*\" be should of courte have put simply "By J. A. B " Yet any one who knows me, or is at all familiar with my his? tory, would not for a moment believe any such charge aa that I waa thus associated with i a negro. This explanation is, therefore, written for only those who are not acquainted with me. I have been io the newspaper business eleven years and feel proud of my record. Some times in the line of duty I have bad occasion to condemn the action of certain ones, and it ia for this I have the ill will of the tbree papers that have attacked me, but my every -word and act bas been at the dictate of what I conceived to be right and houest, and in retiring from the journal- j istic field, aa I have done having sold both my j pipers, I do so with not a pang of conscience of having ever **set down aught io malice."

Applied it about the 10th of March, and in my opinion the yield was increased from 25 or 27 bushels per acre to 40 or 45 per acre. I was much pleased with the dress? ing. In 4 days after the application I could ! see a marked improvement in the growth and condition of the crops. The soil on which crop was grown is a light sandy loam, which, without fertilizer, would produce say, 25 bnshels oats per acre, or 12 bushels corn. I used some of* the "Cereal i te" on corn, applied it at time of planting and was much pleased with the result. The com grew off rapidly aod matured early. 1 am much pleased with your "Cerealite," and will continue lo use it. j . Yours very respectfully, * E. MILLER BOYKIN.
