TALK WITH TIE RIGHT RING.
Why We Need u New Denl...Onlce cs
by Divine Right.
CurO'inu Spartan.

Crro'inu Spartan.
When the same set of men are kept long In
Office, they begin to look upon office rs their
right. Keep L man In nn office tor two or
thee terms and Ii there is any talk Of honor
ing another citizen with this office, the In
cumbcnt begins to inquire, Nv hat are you
shrlrcd. If you can't give me my cd place,
give ms something better" This spirit enters
into ;licc-holdcr all the way down to door
keepers in The Slate House. There is one no
table example In our State, since 1876. Of Il
brave. independent q retiring of his "
accord to private life. But us II general thing
our State and Federal officers are there to
stay, il they can't step up higher. There Is
not Il tenth maj amongst them, whether elect.
cd by the people or Legislature, or appointed
By the Governor, that would retire gracefully
ii another should DE chosen In his place.
They soon feel that the Office, and the people
also, belong TO them.
Ibis feeling arises from two causeS-f1rst. n
love for office and power, while the patronage
belonging thereto Is q strong induceiient for
them to pcIprtuatc their owe secondly, 1t
is Il matter Of meat and bread, for many OF
our utticc-hOldrlS have reached the conclusion
i'm II most fo:cib!e and logical way, that they
cannot possibly get along without an office.
Hence one hears from various ncWSpa-
pers in the State, as well us from quiet think
ing armcrs that u new deal in Office Is ncccS-
sary. In other words, the people wish to as.
Scrt their sovereignty and show that political
rings and bosses cannot dominate in South
Carolina. They know that there is not Il State
or Federal office that cannot be filled us well
by others as by the incunbcnts. Then in a
republican form Of government there should
DC no aristorracy OF oii!ce-holdcrs, and as soon
rs they Iccrlnc impeiinis they should DC re-
maudrd to the ranks. 1t is folly TO say that
new men could not NIL the offices: 1t Is Il SLAM
der on our people to assert tirain new dea! en-
tircly would bring any detriinent to the state.
Then let US say To the people that they need
not be alarmed If names heretofore unknown
to the public are brought forward in the next
twelve months for the prominent offices OF
our Stale. This would not be revolution or
disloyally, it Is only the divine right the peo-
pie have TO manage their own affairs and Sc
lcct their own servants.

Waste OF Printing.

Quite an amount OF space has been taken
III by the newspapers OF late in discussing the
Presidential appointment which has been
given to James III. Morgan. The appointment,
IS such Us we would not desire to sec, but we
really fail TO sec wherein the appointment
should give mortal offence, except In the fac,
that tho appointment iscliargcd To South Car
DINA. We object to that more than anything
else. When we remember that q large pei
cent. OF the official appointments are to bC
given to the kindred OF those who have infu
encc at Washington, we think it n matter OF
litt!o public concern which one of 4 Senators
or Il Congressman kindred Shall get the Of.
flee.
The great army of Democrats nrc scarcely
rppreSe ntcd in any Office of appointment, and
tie PEOPLE themselves by their rcDrcScnta
tivcs in convention, seem willin. to keep the
same men in Office, and when q new deal is
called for, they merely exchange offices for Il
while, until there is another dcmand for q
new deal, and then there is a scramble and Il
move Of Kitchen furniture, when a new man
may gel in and the other officers will changc
places again with each other. An entire new
1e,l would do gool-whcn rcw men could be
mt IA. office. \. majority Of tho cid officers
luvc held their places long enough.

The Coming wall papers,

Plain papers are made to exactly resemble

copied in the paper. They are not expensive,
except those imit,ting lain or cisele velvet.
Flowercd papers are exceedingly handsome,
and when q room Is large and the walls are
not plentiluIly supplied with pictures and
other ornaments, they are useful to relieve
the general baroness of aspect which will be

Meeting OF Directors or the e.. & I"
Railroad,
{Lrurcnsriilc Ucruld.l

We understand that the protest OF the Lau.
rcrS Directors made ut tie recent meeting
held nj Greenwood. is based In substance OF
the following reasons: The terms embraced
in the resolutions adopted, looking to Il con.
50 ldaiinn with the Georgia Central, propose
to give To Mr.. Itanui Sl7n,Wa of stock In tht
road without my consideration. In tho
Cpiuion Of The IfturcnS Directors stock can
not be issued in this way without rendering
personally liable to the amount OF stock so
issued. In their view stock Is assets ami
must represent something; hence, the per
sou:,l responsibility for stock issued in this
manner.
A"nin, the Lau:cnS Directors, object To
turning over to Mr.. Eaoul the County am
civ bonds, now on hat!d. and amounting Il
about S:N, Lhl. They claim that thc:e bonds
should be retired and the Taxpayers TO this
cytrn! relieved; that Mr.. lia0ul should rom
nlrle the road with the bonds to be issued
They further Object because IL Is using Tho
ncoi,Ic'. money in Il direction not thought OF
nv them when they voted on the measure.
st that time the people looked forward tn
iwo through lines intrrSectinG each other a
I,nreus Court House, and dividing tho entire
inunty about right angles. Under this view
of the question the people voted the railroad
tax. Toapply the money so voted 10 u local
or branch road Is, in the opinion OF the Lnu-
rens directors. q miSappitcition of the money
and n great wrong to u large portion ot Inc
County.

Planting Irish Potatoes In Midsum.

A correspondent OF the Rural Record writes:
In the province Of Ecuador, South America, 1t Il
enid that the finest potatoes Of the w"rld are grown
The climate there Is usually about 50 degrees, Ont
varies but few over or under during the entire year.
The climate Of South Carolina Is naturally too warn
for potatoes, bnt ty planting about the 2Uth Of jun
they mature In September and October, when the eli
r,stc Is Of about the right temperature. Mulchin,
with leaves and other substances, serves the douhl,
purpose Of keeping the ground lnnist and eoul
Hence. Ivy planting In midsummer, with the Md o
lnnlchInc, mn artificial temperature Of about the RICH
degree can be .bHined. Potatoes thus grown are In
clineJ to he round, smooth, frac from protuherancrG
and better every way than those grown without mulch
ing In n climate that 'is naturally too w,rm FOR them
to say nuthing Of the largely increased quantity tha
can be grown where the conditions are favorable.
A farmer iu Georgia planted a small bed 8 by q
fest, very rich-and made \ heavy crop, gathered 1t
md spaded and raked thu he'd preparatory tu putting
In turnips. A rain coming on, the small POTATOES left
In the ground caIne NJ broadcast and he concluded t

This can be done by anyone, provided tha land !!
