When The Headlight sticks its lancet into a fistula that hiis ap;>eared ui>on our State government, every little coat-tail s\\ inger organ in South Carolina raises the cry of "betraying the Reform moveiiiiiil.** Now, just here we will add, by way of parenthesis, that we had a thousand t hues rather'"betray the Reform movement" than betray the yeomanry ?i' lite o!d Palmetto State, and .... ?U" COi?Sl!lUt,. ,jl0 |,;K.kbone of (n|fi ,{(S | . 01:11. j I,..

And not only this, hut we have the word of the State chemist to prove that the vilest liquors have lieen sol.l to the people under a a guarantee that they are chemically pure, and an; !\,.ed by said state chemist.

We have sltown how every Slate ollieo t is overrun with idle and unnecc.?auy I clerks, who are fed and fattened at the expense of the poor tax payers and i farmers, while the heads of dei>artmcnts > aire lolling at their cause and drawing princely salaries for doing nothing. We contend that when a man is i>aid hv the State to perform certain duties lie should discharge those duties and not emnlov an army of i>olitical friends and kinsmen to jierform the work tliat he himself should do, unless he paystlios? assistants out of his own pocket. Hut this is a fair sample of the Reform given over victimized tanners. i We have sliown how the tax valuation i of property in South Carolina, during ' the uist six years, has advanced many I millions, while taxes are not only getting higher and ldglter each year, but even i with the increased levy, it is now neces- 1 sary for tlie State to borrow $150,000 to ? pay the running expenses of the government. The taxable proixnlv in our own county of Spartanburg, so Auditor Kj>- \ ton says, has increased more tluui 51,000- \ 000 over last year. And yet taxes con- | tiuue to pile up mouulaiii high, and the t etal is not yet, for next year an additional c levy must be made to ro|>ay the $150,000 t tlie State treasurer will borrow. While f our fanners must raise cotton af. la-s a Hum the cost of production, and our SI ate t is filling with manufacturing enterprise-* v iulding to the assessment, taxes nre ad- ii vanning year by year, ami the good Lord si only knows where tliey will slop. There u are to<lay hi South'Carol inn, we believe, p twice as many men drawing sidaries from r< the State jis there were in 1s0o. We ei demand a publication of the roll of ollice at liolders during the year of IStlOaiid IStiT. at and this JUMertjon will lx; proven to be a true. li This is Reform with a very small r. in We have siiown that Senator Tillman, ta the bell-wether of Reform, who was elected to ollice by tlie voters of p Mir men pi and wlio attacked the old udmiuistrati ?ii in for wilful extravagance, did his b >st to sii have $'i ih)!1 tax fixed upon the pnoi ci people of his State, which would ad nave tioki tlioui into slavery for at least Jo y,-Xfr !'-iy;u,t.1 a!v' \ his messages. nt< What <lo you think of lliis for Ucfoi in V i!i The Headlight has worked hard and ea unceasingly for the true principles of lief or in, witlmit reward or the hope ?c thereof.

And we intend to eon- te tinue to defend the rights of the masses, to it matters not where our rooks ||y or ot whom we offend. The people arc begin- t! ning to think for themselves, and can no to longer l? fooled hy any sham cry of u Iteform or Tillman. They have now a d? direct primary, where every white voter te can repair to the ih?11s and east his ballot ci for the men of his choice. The reformer is willing and ready to accord to his eon- pi servative neighbor the same privilege si that lie himself enjoys, and that lie shall ti have his vote fairly counted. Our pii- ti mary system gives to the poorest and h most illiterate white man the same power b jus is accorded to the richest and most c< learned.

But few men can mako the boast that they fought at the liattle of Waterloo and saw Napoleon after the light. That is, however, the claim of John Henry Beurd, who for years lived at Richmond, Me., and for the last year and a half luis been a resident of Lynn, Mass. He will be the siwcial guest of the Englishmen of Boston at their celebration on Monday ofjtlio queen's diamond jubilee. Of course his nearly 07 ycara?for he ' is two months older than the country? have left their marks upon him, but talk to him of Wellington and Napo- leon, and he is again one of the thin red line that 82 years ago Napoleon's Old Uunrd's last desperate charge could not jreak.
