We invite Special attention to the
call Of G"n. John Bratton, published
in another part Of this paper. The
call mado by him for a public meet,
ing should meet full and spirited
response from the people of Fair
ticid Whatever differences of opin.

rs to the proper policy to be pur,
sue Wy tho democrats of South
CT"lina in the present crisis, there
can surely DO no reasonable obicc
ton to u perfect organization, or at
all events to u coming together OF
Inc honest and intelligent people, to
interchange views upon tho situa-
h"H, and to adopt a course which
existing circumstances may seem to
rrnd"r most cxpcdicnt. For our
selves We are heartily in favor of
such an organization of Tho democ-
rary aa that it may be welded Ms
one solid mass Of determined voters
against the Extravaganza, vcnalitv

the all-important end is the cmbod;

hon as possible. This is n prime
necessity. TO ignore that necessity

Gov. THOMPSON writes to the SAFES
man that he will start for Idaho in
February; that the reason he is no,
here now is because he thinks he can
do more good for the Territory by
staying there and assisting Delegate
Tom Bennett in his burdensome and
manifold duties Probably he could
do the most good by not coming ut
all. The fact is Dave has got bet

Two things ought 10 be strongly
impressed upon the Young people OF
our country: The insecurity of riches
even when acquired. and their unsatis.
flying character. Thrc is no fallacv
so universally cherished as the notion
that wealth is surely means Of hap
pi,css. The care of large property
is one Of the most burdensome of
earth's trusts. The only material
good which comes from any estate is
to be made out Of moderate income
far more easily than large one, and
with fewer attendant disadvantages
Few thoughtful men would undergo
the entire stewardship of large cs-
tate on = positive bargain that they
should receive no more for taking care
Of it than ordinarily falls into the lap
Of the owner. The scramble after
wealth is due to a wrong estimate of
