not only formidable, but practically un-

this ideas all false. They are not strong
they are weak They are not the sort
of organization that wins victories.
They are not what they led the public

TRIAL JUSTICES COST.

The County Convention of the
10th passed II resolution against
paying Trial Justices cost from the
County in criminal cases, less than
felony or when acting as Coroner.
Now, the first question that
arises Is, who must pay this cost?
The Office of Trial Justice is far
more important than some seem to
think. They are conscrvators of
the public peace, and upon their
action depends, in a great measure,
the punishment of crime and sup
preston of lawlcssness. We take
it, that no n will contend for a
moment that the State would re-
quire an offer to issue warrants
and try criminals, without giving Il
reasonable compensation. Who
then, if not the County must pay
for this work? Suppose we say
the party who is convicted or the
prosecutor. How will that work?
So far as the party convicted is
concerned, we see ut Il glance over
the criminal record of this County,
for the past twelve months, that
the citizens generally convicted of
these petit offences are not respon-
siblc for the cost, be it never SO
little. Then on the other hand, if
the prosecutor is compelled to pay
Trial Justice for issuing warrants,
crimes wotld roftem,go unpublished.
Suppose a poor man, who is not
actually able to pay Il small fee, has
his goods taken under false pre-
tcncc. This is not Il felony and so
the poor man is powerlcss to invoke
the aid of law. We think such a
resolution as this is unwisc. When
ever Il government is unable to
punish crime, be it small or great,
we had better abandon government
altogether. Money paid by way of
taxes, should be used in making q
government that will afford protcc-
ton to all classes Of citizens. Re-
trenchment and reform is needed,
but not an indiscriminatc abolition
of salaries. The idea is to pay
officers just enough to insure COM
petent men in Office, and no more.
If we cannot afford to pay for pun
ishing criminals, let us by all
mean abandon GOv'ment altogeth.

Words of

Waste nothing, neither money,
time nor talent.
The wise carry their knowledge
as they do their watches, not for
display, but for their own use.
Put this restriction on your plea
ures BE cautious that they injure
no being which has life.
Happiness is often at our side,
and we pass her by. Misfortune
is afar off, and we rush to meet her.
Receive no satisfaction for pre-
medita ed impertincncc; forget it,
forgive it, but kecr him ineXorably
at Il distance who offered it.
One of the Illusions is that the
present hour is not the critical, de-
cisive hour. Write itin your heart
that every day is the best day in
the year.
Too many young men believe
that "the world owes every man Il
living" and that it requires no Ell
fort on mans part to make the col
lection.
In early childhood you may lay
the foundation Of poverty or riches,
industry or idleness, good or evil,
by the habits to which you train
your children. Teach them right
habits then, and their future life is
safe.
Idleness is the hot-ped of temp
tation, the cradle of disease, the
waster of time, the canker worm
of felicity. TO him that has no em-
ployment, life I'm q little while will

pendent says that there is to be 81
meeting in that city some time in
June to celebrate the completion
of the long desired link that is to
connect HendersonviIl and Ashe-

people here have heard that the
guage Oh the S~partanbug and
Ashcville road will not be changed,
and that no regular trains will be
put on the road beyond Hcndcr-
sonville until next September. 1t
is also said that a depot will be
erected at the Junction, two miles
from Spartanburg, and that freight
and passengers will there be trans
ferred. These are the reports
which have circulation and ere
dcnce here. 1t is hoped that II
scheme so hostile to the interests
of u county and the travelling
public, will not carried out. If the
Richmond and Danville authorities
should attempt such Il "boycott," it
will remain for our citizens to try
them by most earnest petitions.
They are just waiting to sec what
will be done. 1t wouldbc Il most

Senator Sigh, of Newberry, in n
card published in the Ncmbcr1y
Observer, states that his resolutions
relating to taxed costs apply only
to attorneys costs In Equity cases.
Several Farmers Clubs in this Coun-
ty have passed resolutions in favor
Of abolishing "taxed costs" and we
have easo to believe that some of
those who voted for the resolution
did nO6know what it meant. Sew
eral gen have recently when
questioned on the subject, said that
they intended to abolish the cost
paid to. attorneys out of the "taxes"
OF the County. This only shows that
somemen actually think that law
gers arepaid by the County. They
canspe nd all the time they desire i'm
trying to regulate the fee-bill law
gers. generally take care of them
selves. But we venture to suggest
that farmers might spend their
time to better advantage, by max
their farms more productive so that
they would not 50 often fall into
tho hands' of that "despised clasp
called lawyers Taxed cost does
not hurtmen who keep out Of Court.

~yertcrday. Now Mr.. Editor who
but the democratic party holds con-
troll of the State? Are they sound
cr Democrats than they propose to
capture? l hardly believe it! are
they wiser? this is dcbatablc! have
they less selfish ends for the pro-
scription they suggest in pronounc-
ing for candidates? we say no; if
this so called villianouS party the
democratic party needs purifying
and purging, is ii not as easy to be
done from the inside as from the
outside? Especially since the res
olutions of clubs say the dose is to
be taken from all classes, /. G. for
mulatcd compound! Does the
Democratic platform or the plat
form of the Farmers State Conven-
ask more or offer less p, do they
both agree upon the Primary
mode? we answer yes. Then the
trouble seems to be who is to give
the dose. Those who scccdc from
the platform Of the Farmers State
Convention or those who scccdc
from the Democratic PLATFORM! Is
this not Il dual mode of nomination,
an! thereby instantancOusly pro-
ducing division. Now if this is not
so, tell me wherin we arc in error
In proclaimed doctrines of the two
platforms. Then, if correct, tell
me if this is not Il now departure

measures. Then again, if the cap
turcrs Of the State make q nOIni-
nation for the County it will be
likewise done for the state. Now
they have taken two modes of nom
nations. TO whom are they bound?
| answer, | think, correctly, if we
fail to keep the pledges of the plat
form of the Farmers Convention,
which is in harmony with the
Democratic primaries, we are nci-
ther bound as farmers nor as Dem
ocrats. The right to the penny
here implies the right to the pound.
Now hope We Will remember that
the Democratic party is not dead,
but is IL grand old party yet, with
some faults TO be pruncd Off; but if
| am mistaken, and it is d, adj, it

O WE STAND.

We can't understand its position.
Under caption "Aristocracy VS.. De-
mocraoy,o he giNeS'thc great farm-
ers' movement Ats, then he speaks
of 1t as q good movement and will
be prbdu ctive OF good rcsults.-"En
Peasant, in Ld,lrensriite Ueraid.
Inasmuch MS "En PEASANT has
clearly mistaken our article, "Aris-
tocracy VS.. Democracy" when he
says it "gives the great farmers
movement Ats" we are not sur
prised that lie does not understand
position. If he will take the
trouble to read that article care
fully, he will find that we attempt
ed to show the difference between
an aristocratic form Of governmcnt,
or an olegarchy, and II democratic
form of government. If the farm
ers' movement means to induce
me to pledge their support to the
men selected by Il convention,
whether this convention be com
posed Of eighteen, cighty-onc or
II hundred, it takes the choice
from the people and gives it to the
6e,c, and hence, is tending towards
an aristocratic form Of government.
So far as the Farmers move
ment" is concerned, we frankly adj
NIT that we have not pledged our
selves to it without knowing what
it is. If tho resolutions of the State
Convention be taken as n platform,
while we heartily endorse some Of
these resolutions, we cannot swal-
low them asa whole. But it seems
that some Clubs in this County
have unanimously passed res0lu-
tions in favor of all of these rcso-
lutions and yet tine individual
members express themselves in
favor of measures contrary to these
resolutions. We have expressed
ourselves on every subject, SO far
as we know, that has yet been be-
fore the Clubs, and if anyone has
failed to see 0ur position on the
"mOVement," they certainly know
how we stand upon these measures.
Whatever we believe to be for the
best interests of the farmers and
the whole State, we Will advocate
and whatever Is against that inter-
est will be condemned. The files
of TIE ADVERTISER will show
that we have advocated Farmers
Clubs from the beginning, but that
from the first we have opposed the
idea Of turning these organizations
into political conventions.
On May 5th, just after the Con-
vention TIE ADVERTISER said:
We presume no one has, been so
unjust as to accuse Mr.. TILLMAN
or his followers Of becoming wilful
Instruments for the disruption Of
the Democratic Party. Such an
idea would stamp any man who
advocated 1t as as a, fool, to say the
least.
But'thare arc those who did fear
thatrtife convention might assume
such a political shade as to have II
different effect from that intended.
If they had claimed II right tonom-
mate State officers; if this "down
trodden" majority, who have or
ganiZed as q farmers convention,
should nominate candidates., these
candida es would run, not as Dem
Ocrdts, butas farmers. And, wheth-
er SUCH he. the. intention or not,
this course would sink in Oblivion
