Any party that refuses to govern
honestly wisely and we'll, ought to b.
kicked out Of power at the 6rst oppor,u
nifty. And that is just what is going to
happen to the Republican party in thil
State unless it comes to the fright about,
forward, double quick" i'll hurry
People are getting heartily aick Of the
stealing and knavery in general tha,
has been going on in our ranks for the
last few years and if He wish to pre-.
serve our organization we must do bet.
ter than We have been doing. Scoun.
drels must bo incontinently jerked from
their high places and honcst men be
allowed to have some show in .a.lc
government. All this We saw do easily
enough in our owl ranks If we arc enly
so ft11sed. IF we ara not sa dirpnsed
people will take matters Int their
own hands and do it anyhow.
The idea of noblo party being
ruined and -diasraced by a pack OF
thieves who have had things in their
own hands SO long that they arc beginning
to think they own the whole State aud
everything in it! And yet .hia very
thing will be sure to happen uulcsu We
take bold and decided steps tosard
reform in every branch Of the govern.
ment.
Let us take such sscps, and take
them at once.

Base Ball.
On Friday the base ball match came
off MS announced. The Athletics were on
hand punctually, and presented quite a
formidable appearance in THUR fancy
uniform. The game was called punctu-
ally ut half past three, with the Athletics
ut the lat. The Athletics went out with
out scoring round and the "Oranges"
came in and secured fourteen. The
Blackville club tried to rally after this
but luck seemed to be against them, the
Orangeburg club beating the game by a
score of So to Is. A large crowd of peo-
pie witnessed the game and good deal
of interest was manifested in it by out
sldcrs Perhaps it was owing to being on
strange ground that caused the Ath-
letlcs to be beaten SO badly; but they
showed the right spirit all the way
through. The next game will take place

The chief Characteristic of the stock market to-
day is Its senstiveness any attempt to sell large
amount of stock being sure To be attended by de-
cline as offers to buy impaired immediate strength
to prices. So many of the larger operators being
still absent the market is left almost entirely to
the little folk who buy and sell sparingly, and are
wary and shy of those who deal in thousands.
Should the cool weather bring back the absentees ut
an earlier day than usual, may have a lively
market before the expiration of the present month,
and the fight between bull and bear may become as
fierce as at any time in the past The great bear
himself if we may believe all that the wise
acres Of the curbsstone say of him, has
had a strong conviction. based no doubt upon care
full investigation that most of our railroads are on
the down grade; that the materials entering into
their construction are lessonlng III value, while
their business is diminishing and their debts in
creasing. If the aforesaid Ursd MAJOR still holds to
this view. he will be liable to make an attack that
will not DO easily resisted. On the other hand, II
he is as other wiscacres assert, large holder OF
stocks picked up in driblets during the dull season
and is daily adding to his stores, prices must ad-
vance. and new buyers will be tempted in to assist
