A Spartan burg special of the 5th
inst says : In a few more days the
dispensary question for thia oity will be
settled. The prohibitionists for the past
week bave been workiog the city and
tbe township, for the voters to sign a
petition against a dispensary for this
city. Tbe conservatives and the no
whiskey men have combined and are
pulling together like a charm. Already
there are a long list of names to the
no-dispensary petition. Several Till
manites, .believing that the dispensary
is wrong, have signed their names. It
is thought that the number of names on
the petition will som up to something
like 1,500.
A reporter of the Herald witnessed
an exhibition of the Christopher Rotary
Steam engine, invented and patented
C. F. Christopher. The engine is
surely destined to revolutionize tbe
motive power of the world. It is
extremely simple io construction, with?
out piston rods or valves, and bas no
deed center. It reverses with great
ease and its power is jost double that
of the old piston rod engine. Mr.
Christopher says the company is
going to build a lng plant for the pur
pote of manufacturing the engines.
The engine is undoubtedly a success,
and should be seen at the Morgan Iron
Works by every one,-Spartan burg

Not His Idea of Reform.
The Lancaster Review, which has
heretofore supported the "reform move?
ment/' has rebelled with a vengeance,
and Editor Connors handles the re?
cent legislature without gloves. He
declares that be bas the most supreme
contempt for the men who have ignored
every sense of right, decency and
justice, and takes no stock io the re?
form movement as at present conduct?
ed.
"Some good," he says, "was at ooo
time expected to result from the move*
ment, but it has since degenerated into
a mere political machine for sliding
incompetent and unprincipled men into
office. Nov and then a good man gets
in, bat these cases are rare indeed.
Never before in the history of this
country have so many grossly incom?
petent and densely ignorant men fill?
ed positions of public trust, as is the
case to-day, from the office of trial
justice op to the United States senate.
Seal reform bas evidently been lost
sight of by the leaders in their scramble
for office, in the meantime expenses
and taxes are jumping up higher.
Tbe people need not look for
any improvement io the present con?
dition of affairs until they begin to
show;judgment in the selection of their

Badical Resolutions, j
The Laurens Alliance, Reads Conservative
Democrats Out of the Varty.
LAURSKS, Jauary 6.-The County Alliance
met tc-day. About forty delegates were
present. Speeches were made by Dr. Samp?
son Pope and Senator Irby.. Non-mem bera
of the Alliance, but in sympathy witb it,
were admitted to tbe speaking. The follow?
ing resolutions* -offered by J. Andy Jones
were passed unanimously by the Alliance.
"Be it resolved bp the county Alliance now
BBSSSsMsdC ' -^-v ^??-?.---- --~'?f?#i3??ifc .-. ?
_ First. That the Alliancemen of Laurens
county reassert their allegiance to the' princi?
ples of the national and State Alliance and
aiybe planks of tbe^?eala platform; and
that a candidate whose stomacfciS too weak
to sma!low it need not expect our support.
Second. That in State politics, as members
of the Democratic party, and as believers in
and as members of the reform movement of
mat party, we.approve of the calling of a j <
convention to name candidates who are in
acccord with it to be roted for in the general
primary election : but we insist as a matter of
right that that convention shall not be held
sooner iban the first of July of this year, for
tbe reason tbat we want to see and bear the
sentiments of the candidates among the
Reformers. To do otherwise is forestall?
tog the people aad re-enacting the tricks of
the ring that controlled this State, so long
to wit: the naming of candidates who are
unknown to the masses of this State, and in
whose candidacy they have cot partici?
pated.
"Third. We bold ourselves bound to
support tbe nominees of tbe Joly convention
in the primary election in September, but
demand tbat simon pure Reformers be named,
men against whom naught can be said as to
their loyalty to truth, to tbe Alliance and to
the Reform movement.
Fourth. Tbat great care must be used,
both in calling and holding the town?
ship and county primary conventions,
to send delegates to said State July
convention, and we recommend that
Governor Tillman select three Reformers who
will act with bira and draft rules for the call?
ing and holding of said township and county
primary conventions, so tbat none but Re
fromers will participate in the election of
delegates to the July State convention,
and that the four gentlemen referred to above,
call the said July convention if such be tbej
sentiment of the Reform movement.
"Fifth. That we further suggest that in
the naming of candidates from United States
Senator to Adjutant and Inspector General,
the convention shall not ignore that element
in the Reform faction who are non-Alliance
men and ineligible to membership io the
Alliance, but who are true to the princi?
ples of the Alliance and the Reform fac?
tion.
"Sixth. That the Laurensville Herald, the
Columbia Daily Register, the Cotton Plant,
Piedmont Headlight and other Reform papers
in the State, are requested to publish these
resolutions."-?^ State.
