Who will forecast the political fal ofEHerbe, Tindal and Pope ? HOD. J. E. Tindal now realizes I dignity, conservatism and good rhet io campaign speeches is not in ace with ref a wm. Refawn is the an ti tb of all of these. All the people of the State are in vi to come to oar Gala Week daring third week ia October. If they dc leave Sumter proud that they live i State thai contains such a town we si be greatly mistaken. J. Hendrix McLane, the ooe-ti - Gre enbacker died in Columbia yest day, after a lengthy illness. The 1 few yeats be has lived to retirement the North, returning South a f months ago with the seal of death ready upon him. The vote in the Reform . primary 1; . Saturday does not promise much -Reform success io this couoty. ft - are the leaders claiming to be able '.carry the county. Their main relias for the election of any of. their, can dates is on the presumed disaffection Conservative voters. Cte July number of the Southe States Magazine contains a well writt and instructive description of the cou try which the Atlantic Coast Line tn erses. The article is illustrated aj will undoubtedly draw attention to to country, whieh is the Soest io tl South. The Southern StA tes is doit a good work for the South. Conservatives arerin a bad way pol . leally if they are relied upo* by tl Reformers to elect them to office ov? t he men that these same Conservative or their direct representatives, brougl ?ut and pledged themselves * to suppo by participating in either the norn uating convection or the election of tl delegates to this convention. The report from the reform primas throughout the State indicate a < x treme lack of interest in the ran and file of reform. It may be th; reformers are so lost in the wishes < refawm that they have lost all desii for making personal choice of rulen Just so it is a refawm er it will gc This is the lesson we draw from th special primary. The question whether the Columbi Register is to be the object of sympath <>ver the defeat of its candidate, Ellerbe <>r the subject of congratulation tba John Gary Evans, the saccesful candi .?ate, will be able to bay it oat again, i u a decided in oar mind. We want t s*y the appropriate thing io this, th t>tne of the organ's affliction, therefor we shall neither condole nor congra ' ti late jost yet. Kolb the pestiferous Alabama offioi hunter, and taker of a retaining fee fron Republican Sooth-haters is now talking .?f resorting to arms to secare thc ?T?vernship which he failed to wit iii rough the ballot box. We imagine he will remain at the post of daoger ic his headquarters io Birmingham, safe fr?MD any stray ballets that might be dying around at the front. This is thc approved custom. The tariff bili has at last been ptssed by Congress. The House ac. >epted the Senate bill as amended. The new compromise bill, is an im? provement on the McKinley bill, and w ts the best that could be obtained under the circumstances. We are glad thc matter is at last settled, as the business of the entire country was k-pt io a state of uncertainty while (. Congress was tinkering with the ques? tion. The Baltimore Amer ?can ina recent is?ue says that the new Sou tb Caro? lina 4J Bonds are in good demand and "?at osly about $300,000 worth arc DOW tn the bands of the holders. The b ads are selling at 100J and most of ?2.000,000 worth have been sold to S.mth Carolinians. We are glad to see that South Carolinians, at least, h ive confidence enough io the State to pot their money in the bonds. It is an t t coaraging sign. We have heard it said by Reformers rb*t they would vote for Capt. T. B. ? boston in preference to Congressman iz ar if he is the Democratic nominee. A ?td we have also heard Conservatives say that they wo aid vote for Capt. J oh os ton io preference to Dr. Stokes. This sort of thing will not do at all, and men who claim to be Democrats should consider what they would countenance were they to cast their votes as inti? mated. The days of reconstruction should not be forgotten so easily. We do not admire Dr. Stokes personally, and his political vagaries are worse than his individuality; but we propose to vote for him with a wry face if he is norn io a ted. To avoid the nauseous dose all unadulterated Democrats should work io season and out to nomi? cate Izlar, who is faithfully discharging his duties io Washington instead of running arouod this district soliciting votes. He is the mao we teed, and if we do oot have a true and tried Demo? crat, io the person of James F. Izlar, to represent us io the oext Coogress it will be our owo fault. THE PBESS. The Clarendon News, the first issue of winch appeared on the 10th, is the latest candidate for journalistic success. It is pub? lished in Manoing by C. F. Sausbury, editor and publisher. lu politics it is Conserva? tive. The subscription price is one dollar a year. May the News deserve success and be rewarded. The Republican Advocate is the 'name of a new paper established at Beaufort by W. J. Whipper and J. I. Wasbiugton. It is, of course, Republican in politics. The remark? able fact iu connection with the paper is that it advocares the election of George W. Hurray over Robert Smalls, wbo is generally believed to be supreme ia tbe Beaufort Bailewick. The death of j. W. Hammond editor of tbe Florence Messenger removed one of tbe most fearless and outspoken members of the press of South Carolina. He was a native of I North Carolina and removed to this State about 1875. He established a paper in Timmonsville, and in the campaign ol 1876 d?d splendid work. Subsequent to the cam paign he removed Ins paper to Darlington and the name iras changed to the Darlington News. He has ran papers in several place? since then, but for the past seven years bas been in Florence. He wielded a caustic pen and dorins the political turmoil of the past four yea ra has made ' the Reformers wince by many a keen tbrast. Mr. Hartwell M. Ayer, for four years editor of tbe Florence Times has sold the Times to to Mr. Jobn P. Coffin, a pushing, aggres? sive and experienced aewspaper men. Mr. Coffin started at tbe case and bas occupied nearly every position in all classes of papers. He was for quite a while on the staff of tbe Baltimore Manufacturer's Record and did good work for tbe South. His purpose is to establish an industrial. monthly, which will be devoted to the development of the re? sources of South and North Carolina. We wish Mr. Coffin succss with both of bis ventures. Mr. Hartwell M. Ayer will be at tbe bead of a new afternoon daily to be established, io Charleston. Mr. Ayer is a versatile and grace? ful writer and has bad experience in the newspaper business that should insure h is success in Charleston. The Journal of Progress, the organ of the colored people which suspended about two months ago, on account of financial em? barrassment has resumed publication. The Result of the Beform Primary. The Reform, primary ou last Saturday resulted in a sweeping victory for the official candidate, John Gary Evans. The vote was light. From the most reliable sources it is ascertained that little above 18,000 votes were polled. lu the strongest as weil as the weak? est Reform counties the conditions were the same and there was a great falling off in Reform strength. Dr. Ti m mer man of Edge field being the only candidate for Lieutenant Governor, of course gets the nomination.

Since tbe conclusion of the campaign Gov. Tillman bas taken up tbe enforcement of the Dispensary law with vigor. He says that the law will be enforced peaceably, if possible, but by force when necessary, and he will call out the whole military force of the State if be thinks oecssary. The following instructions have been given to the constables : "In resuming operations under the Dis? pensary law of 1893, constables, while exer? cising all tbe powers and duties conferred by that act, will be careful to avoid any unneces? sary friction or get into any brawls. They will seize all contraband liquors and make arrests uuder evidence sufficient to convict, tbe same as heretofore. When necessary, they will apply to tbe sheriff of the county for assistance in making arrests or searches. When these are not convenient they may apply to mayors and intendants of towns for search warrants'and for the aid of the police Any ref osai on the part of mayors or intend? ants and police to co-operate most be reported promptly to the Governor. Constables will not search express cars without specific in? struction. But if they see any contraband liquor in one they can order it to be detained and carried to the local express ' office for ex? amination. Freight depots may be entered and searched whenever open for business without a warrant; and freight cars which are being unloaded may also be searched. In opening suspicious paekages care must be ex? ercised not to i nj are the contents. All saloons and other open places of busi? ness where contraband liquor is supposed to be sold, may be searched without a warrant. Constables will wear their badges at all times. B. R. TILLMAN, Governar." Pleasant Reunion. TABERNACLE CAMP GROUND NEAR LYNCHBURG, Aug. 3,1S94. Mr. Editor : About this season of the year, almost all who can, aud perhaps some who cannot, afford it are casting about in their minds, for a place to go off, "and rest awhile" from their busi? ness cares and troubles. No doubt these annual "rests," when properly improved, are of real benefit, in every way, to those who enjoy them, and they are prepared to enter, with renewed zeal and energy, upon their duties. But to the most of us, the "stay at homes" these "rests" never come, and we must be content to "plod on our weary way," "year in and year out." How delightful, then, it is for us to have one day, in which to lay aside our cares, meet old friends, and pass the day in pleasant social intercourse. These thoughts were suggested to my mind by the annual reunion of the survivors of Co. E. Palmetto Sharp? shooters, which was held at this place on Friday, 3rd inst. It was my good fortune to be present and participate in this meeting, and I am satisfied that all who were here would have been glad if the day could have been longthened. The time for "breaking up" came all too soon. There was a small attendance of the survivors, they being scattered all over the coun? try, one being in Mexico, another in Arkansas, and so on. The morning was spent in pleasant conversation, till about the dinner hour, wiien a barrel of ice, sugar, and lemons arrived, contributed by a com? rade who could not attend. As soon as it could be prepared, the lemonade was freely and fully discussed, till all "bands" were invited to dinner. It did not take a second invitation to get all prtjent around the table, (two benches) and very soon all were busy attacking the rations, there spread out, in regular soldier fashion. Of the dinner, I need only say that the "comrades" of Shiloh furnished the bulk of it, and was just such a "spread" as they know how, and love to make. One "old Keb" was so much enthused, that he proposed that hereafter "we meet on the day before the regular time, and camp out all night." AftiT dinner the regular business meeting was held. As usual the roll was called, and it caused a feeling of sadness to come over us all, as the res? ponse was made to so many names, dead. The roll call showed that of over one hundred men, twenty nine are ali ve. A committee was appointed to bring in, at next meeting, a- memorial of comrade W. D. Ilinds, who has died since last reunion. The old officers were re-elected as follows, J. E. Atkins, President; A. L. Childs, Vice President; J. E. McKin? ney, 8ec. and Treasurer, lt was de? cided to hold the next meeting at or near Mayesville, on the first Friday of August 1S95, and the survivors were urged to attend and carry their fami? lies, so as to make the social feature more prominent. A committee of arrangements for next meeting, con? sisting of W. J. DuKant, H. T. Abbott, J. E. Atkins, K. W. Welch, E. M. Coop? er, E. G. Brown and Burrows Col? clough was appointed, and specially charged with the duty of procuring au orator for the occasion. The association then adjourned, and soon all of us were on our way to our respective homes, wishing for many returns ot' the pleasant day. (>NK oK TliKM. This Should Interest You.

While pare Water may not cure Fever-certainly it may be largely the means of preventing illlness, and we all know that "an ounce of prevention is worth a pouod of cure.'* We are told that there is not a case of fever in a family where our Water is used. We quote from a recent article in New York Evening Post : "As water is the chief medium through which the germ is transmitted, we generally find that typhoid breaks ont sporadically, each colony being formed and bounded by the number of people who have used the same well. If careful search is made one often finds that the vault or cesspool has been carelessly constructed and located quite near the well. Frequently it is found in the SAme or a higher level. If the soil is porous or sandy and the strata are accommodating, it is quite an easy matter for the germ to travel in sewage for twenty-five or fifty feet,it has even been known to go twice that distance. Most of those who drink the contaminated water contract the disease and carelessness in disposing of ex? creta in these cases many times leads to a further spreading of the disease. "In country towns and villages little or nothing is done to prevent outbreaks such as have beea seen rceenlly in the suburbs. It seems that physicians in the local health boards do not know enough of the disease to be impressed with the dangers of allowing it to spread. Another powerful factor with them, which in many cases prevents them from taking active steps, is their desire to avoid a 'scare,' which they think would in? jure the reputation of the town and drive away summer visitors from the hotels. This argument has great force with, and undoubt? edly leads to the biding of many cases under the vague term of malaria or something of the sort.
