The Angosta Chronicle lays down ~r.be following safe rule for Democrats to follow : It matters oot whether a coun? try is hopelessly Populistic or not, it is Tfche duty .of every Deomratcto vote. Bxs YQW reduces the populist majority, ?b? bis failure ?a vote increases it. The result of the Populist vote in Colorado has bad the effect of crippling every i ad asiry and investors are with? drawing tbeirmope? as vapidly as pos? sible. They areafraid of sta j laws ano} other senseless legislation advocated by the Pops. It is stated that the report of the American Cotton Oil Compaoy for the fiscal year ended August SI, 1894, will show that the company during the year paid off about $250,000 of its bonds, all its interest charges and six per ocnt. dividend on its preferred stock and earn? ed in addition a small surplus 00 its com? mon stock. ' Oscar Morton, a prominent citizen of Powell County, Ly., was lynebed at Beatyville. Ky., Saturday. He killed a man about two weeks ago, and was out on bond. Saturday he got drunk and killed the Sheriff of the county and was immediately lynched by the infuriated people. This is the eighth victim of judge lynch in central Kentucky within ttfrWtf?ltu*^^ The open letter of Dr. .Lowqgan, of Orangeburg, chairman of Dr. J?tokes' Executive Committee, to the chairman of the Congressional Committee, of the First District^ is the mos^uperlative exhibition of gail extant ?) threap that unless the Alliance Doctor is elect? ed io the Sev?ajb District, Shat the Re? formers in the First will knife Col. Elliott. Are the Reformers seeking ao opportunity to break their pledges ? Col. W. R. Davie is canvassing the Fifth District as an independent Demo carat against Dr. Strait, the popula-re fawm Congressman. Col. Davie is a man of culture and great native ability, and would be a much more creditable representative for the Fifth than the unspeakable doctor. Dr. Strait uttered one wise remark while to Congress, aod loir tins we have credited him. It is related that ? South Carolina visitor to Washington asked him why he had cot made more speeches. Dr. Strait said that he did not propose to be gettiog up and making a fool of him? self for Tom Reed to ball doze. "In ease; the South Carolinians con? clude to hold a constitutional conven? tion, the increase of the poll tax from gi to $3 is one of the changes that will be made. Gov. li lim au made his cam palgn for the change in 1892, and the people voted him ?Dto office. As the projective, new constitution would not [be so?mittea1 to the people for ratificar iron, r.ne $ott cai won ia prooapiy go toto it^whetbel^e taboring classes like|l it or not. It may be that the Caro lioiaps delight -in-paying lazes aod find : lt aa easy fe par $3- as $1. Bot Over |ou this "aide of lie river it.? migaty l?trd to iget M fr |t J pyp Savannah Netcs. This is all true. Therefore it behoves ?Q ateo ;Jto vote ! against the Constitutional Conven? tion. T&e immense expense of the Convention is sufficient reason for de? feating it; bot wheo to this is added the determination of the Reform leaders to adopt a Constitution aod make it the law of thc State without submitting it to the people, it is impossible to realize how aoy min caa consent to vote for holding the Convention. AH things have conspired to make the Carnival a complete and glorpos success. ike weather has been perfect, Indian summer is the perfect season, much more rare tba a a day ?D June, aod there heyer nave been more beautiful ?days tba^e have had for ti^^s^jval. rating |>r day and night. The city rs beautifully decorated and has never been surpassed io this State. . The details of toe celebration are told elsewhere. All of the attrapions aod contests have been successfal. We feel proud of Sumter/ bot oot surprised, we knew it was 3D ber. We are ooder obligations to the Dar? lington Herald for the following : "Very i os tractive papers were read by R. T. .iayoes oo '^The Coooty Press as an Educator," by S. A. Net? tles oo "The Advantages to County Editors io Beiog Priorers," aod by H. G. Osteeo oo "The Press aod Publie Opinion." TE?a? papers, were all of special in? terest, that of Mr. Osteeo beiog ooe of the best we have ever read. Io it be clearly shows what a paper ought to be, bot what is tar better, illustrates, io his own journal, the highest standard of conscientious work." POOR HENRY R. Our dear friend aod admirer, ,Mr. Henry R; Thomas, lias written asa charmiog, non-partisan aod well-tem? pered letter, that, while entirely per? sonal to the editor, we caooot withhold it from the public. We kp'ow that Mr. Thomas will forgive the liberty we take in publishing his letter, wheo be con? siders how greatly edified the readers of this paper will be. It is so free from all insinuations aod is so eminently fair, temperate aod evenly balanced io all the statements of facts and fiction that it can be used as a model eve* hereafter. It should be read with so? licitude by the pare?te of all good little boys, ?ho are io the habit of memoriz? ing gems of prose aod poesy, dealiog indiscriminately with facts of to-day aod myths of the recent aod distant past. A part, however, from the beauty of the prodootioo attention must be direct? ed to a feature of the gem that might escape the ootutored eye. Mr. Thomas rehashes the charge that this paper favored the* Haskell movemeot io 1890, which fee koowa to be false aod without the semblance of fact as a foundation. Tho Watchman and Southron has stock to the organized democracy io ajjite af, its .unsavoriness through thick aod thin, an! its editor aod proprietor have both voted the whole ticket every time. * We are out of patience with Thomas ano: this repeated charge, which he oakes out.of pare malicfoosness, and it is denounced once foi alf as false. We did*oa$ vote for Judge Haskell, because his movement was independent and un? timely, although, personally, we pre? ferred him to Tillman. It is gratifying to koow that Mr. Thomas will respect his pledge aod vote for Mr. Mellett and the other gen tlemeo nominated by the democrats of Sumter County. As for the report io regard to this couoty going for Capt. Johnston, or a promise having been made to deliver it to bim, we believe it false, unless Mr. Thomas is speaking from personal knowledge of a bargain. Unless the Reformers vote for -Capt. Johnston Dr. Stokes will carry the coaoty, if white votes can carry it. This paper announced before the elec-' tion that Stokes would be supported in preference tor Judge Idar, should the latter roo as an independent. We are not in the habit of disregarding pledges, nor are we at all concerned about Mr. Thomas's opinion of the manner in which we perform our duty to'the Domin?es of the party. - , 1 fl B?iis: ; .
