An "AntI,y srsesku Ont.

Mr.. EDfroR: 1t now becomes the
duty OF every citizen of Pickens
county, and not only of the county,
but Of the State, to. see that on the
election day in November, A. G. Has.
kell and and his independent follow
ers are buried SO deep politically
that they will know no resurrection.
l am sure that there is no white man
in this county who has heretofore
voted the Democratic ticket but what
will vote for: the nominees of the
party. Haskell and his crowd have
not only bolted the Democratic party,
but have bolted that wing Of the
party after it was decided by them
to stay III ranks. 49,.
We, in this part the State, cannot
but look upon Haskell and his folio ~
ers as ''straightout Radicals" instead
of ''straightout Democrats" rs they
term themselves. While we know
that Haskell will not get ans votes in
this county except the Republicans,
yet some in other parts of the State
might want to vote for him through
malice toward Tillman, all of whom,
doubtless, have participated and vot-
ed i'll the primary elections in the diff
ferent counties. If anyone votes for
Haskell and his ticket after having
voted III any or all of the primaries,
would not such voter be guilty of
peri jury? Not political or moral per-
jury alone, but of legal perjury.
Section 5 of the act Of 1883, p II,
reads as follows:
"Any voter who shall swear falsely
in taking the prescribed oath Z +
shall be guilty of perjury and be
panished upon conviction as for per-
jury"
Now then, the 'Fprescribed oath"
says we must abide by and support
the nominees, National, State and
county, made by the Democratic par
ty. Can anyone who votes for the
Haskell ticket say that he he has not
violated the oath he took when he
voted i'll the primary election Gf he
did vote in primary? And if he
did vote i'll q primary and now votes
for Haskell and his ticket, he is gull.
ty of perjury and ought to be prose
cuted. This movement by Haskell
is to be regretted, but let us, who
love white supremacy and white gov
crnment, have no mercy upon him,
but to look upon him rs our worst
enemy, because he calls upon the ne
gro to elect him, and let us go to the
polls Oh election day end roll up such
a majority fof Tillmah and his ticket
that we will never hear of an indo-
pendent candidate in this State
again. G.. E. r.

THE ANTT-LOTTERY LAW,

This law, or rather the enforcement
of it by the postoffice officials, scoop,
ed up about $4,000 copies of the At,
lanta Constitution last week. 1t was
advertising drawing for Christmas
times, for the benefit of its subscrib
crs and itself. 1t and many othel
newspapers defcd tho laws of this
State by advertising the Louisiana
Lottery, but they havo run against
a stump now. The S. S. Superin
intondont, John Wanamaker, will
soon have carloads of confscated
news, unless the gambling editors
are more careful about mixing it up
with their prize drawings.

The reason the SENTINEL did not
publish the names of tho treasurer,
auditor and trial Justices elected in
the primary, along with the ticket for
the other officers, is that those whose
names were left off are already elect
ed, while those we continued to pub
lish are to be voted for on the fourth
OF November. 81.

The SENTINEL speaks with great re-
spect, but honestly believes that
Judge Haskell ought to be lee, instead
OF his trying to lead something. Hc
nsed to be rs strong as Samson-ho

that he IS trying to get Joe Barnwcll
to show him tho sills of the Philis-
tine opera house.

The Charleston World calls anti

Tillman would not say that. This is
the way to keep the party solid.
That is good democray. That is
state pride, patriotism, party foolty
and fine democracy.

WHAT HAVE II BONE,

"horreet taste says Josh Billings.
els another tirm we have herd people
uso hoose finger males resided cleenin
Iout." This kind of criticism is caus-
ed By people looking at the faults of
others, without ever becoming inter
ested in their own. It is caused too
by people being able to see the con-
sequences of the bad acts of others,
without once thinking of the evil that
may result from their own little fsil-
rres. We are led to these reflections
by the following item in the Easley
Messenger:
"One Of our good old citizens was
carried before Intendant Thornton
last Monday charged with retailing
the red wine that sparkles to boys on
the previous day. The town treasu-
ny, in consequence thereof, was en-.
riched to the amount of $500"
Not knowing the party, we presume
he is correctly described as "good
old citizen" He would lift his hands
in holy horror ut murder, arson, theft,
and perhaps scorn to cheat in horse
swap. But if he had taken seven
minutes to consider, to look at the
possibilities of his small offence, he
would have snuddcrcd ut the thought.
He may have furnished the drink
that will form the appetite to carry
some noble hearted youth u helpless
captive to the drunkard's grave, or a
murderer's cell.
The man who thanked God that
che was not as other men," was a
good citizen. He knew of many lit.
tie violations of law that he did not
report to the authorities, and thus
became party to the greatest
crimes. Many who read this, per-
haps know members of the church,
good citizens, who will buy blockade
liquor, and know of others selling, or
buying, and meet the trial justice the
next day without saying anything to
him about it. A riot occurs, and they
cry out for the enforcement of the
law, when they arc rs guilty as the
rioters.
Criminals arc putting the good cit
izens i'll fear. The latter feel like
they are alone because they do not
talk these things over together. If
you will just speak out, you will be
surprised to find so many on your
side. Discuss the ultimate results
of allowing Offenders to so unpun-
ished. This will give you nerve. OF
iicers are often partners in the
crimes they punish. A councilman
will often allow II man to curse in
his store, Office, or on the streets with
out rcproof or shame, because the Of
fender is a customer. Tho offender
himself may do nothing worse, but
his influence may consume the haPpi-
ness Of your homo.
The fine imposed in the above case
was all that custom would justify.
But it should have been not less than
fifty dollars. The crime was n hun.
drcd fold worse than cutting down
the shade tree or pitching n dead
dog in the public we'll
Let every citizen when he hears of
any crime i'll the community, put his
own responsibility in the scales of
conscience, and ask himself the
question "What have I done?"

A recent act of Congress makes

any benefit under the Act, If it makes
any distinction in race or color in the
admission of students. The Clanin

law can be changed so rs to open its
doors TO all comers. This will not

have it. If the Governments had so
much money, that all the gold on the

CONSTABLES SEdOULD zsEI ucI,ECvrV:D


Trial Justice Garvin, of Central,
has several times called the attention
of the SENTINEL to this subject.
There is not bonded constable in
the county. If there is, an action on
the bond for any wrong that might
be done by the constable, would fail,
because the constable was not elected
as provided by the constitution. Not
withstanding the plain provisions of
the constitution, no law has vet been
made for the election of this impor-
tant officer. The offices of trial ius.
tlcc and constable nre the most i'm
portant in the county. The former
should be fully equipped by having a
lcgol and bonded constable to serve
the process of the court. 1t would
not make him any more expensive to
the county to be elected and put I'M

AN ANTI.GERMAN ADMINS TRATION

Mayor Cregier announced the fol-
lowing School Board appointments
Monday:
Thomas Brennan and John McLaren,
to be their own successors; Miss Mary
E. Burt, Donald H. Morrill,, D. R.
Cameron, and F. J. Jerka, to succeed
Messrs. Beale, Forch, Wenter, and
Kozminski.
1t will be noted that there is not the
name Of solitary German in the list
of new appointments.
Two Germans go out of the Board
Messrs Winter and Forch.
Two avowed enemies of the Ger
man in the public schools are among
the appointees.
Is this accident or is it design?
Is it the intention of Cregier to
crowd German out of the public
schools?
What is the meaning of Cregier's
anti German policy, anyway?

ment of its stolen easement over city
property.
Here, then, is proposed clean steal
of over s25,OO0,OOO.
Cregier is such knave or such a
fool as to advocate that.
And he has actually succeeded in
duping others into believing that the
miserable price offered by the Illinois
Central is big one.
Well, the steal cannot be consum-
mated this time.
But Cregier will bear watching about
this matter. Readers of The EAGLE,

The New District Secretary OF the Liquor
Dealers Protective Association.
We are pleased to note the progress
that our esteemed contemporary,
Mired Drinks, the saloonkeepers'
iosrnal, is making. Scarcely twelve
months ago, Mr.. r. J. Halle, the ed
itor and proprietor, launched his craft
upon the tempestuous sea of journal
ism, and during that,time two anti-pro-
hibition journals have been started in
this city only to strike the rocks of
financial destruction, leaving only
Mired Drinks an the old time CHAM
piol in full control of the anti-pro-
hibition field We hear nothing but
good words spoken of Mr.. Halles jour
nal among the retail liquor dealers of
Chicago, and scarcely saloonkeeper
Of any prominence can be found who
is not a subscriber.
At the last meeting of the retail
liquor dealers of Chicago, Mr.. Halle's
efforts were recognized by his election
to the Office of Secretary of the First
District over Col. Schuster, the old
time editor Of the Champion, nor is.
this to be wondered at when Mr..
Halle's nomination was indorsed by
such prominent persons as the Hon. A.
Mette, Aid. M. r. Harris, County Com
missioner P. T. Maloney, South Town
Supervisor Jas. Cummings, South
Town Attorney John McKeough, and
others. Col. Schuster and Champion

That put the case cogently. The

tho1ties, while the small property

JUST WHAT AIS IT.

Some well-meaning Republicans are
trying to find out what ails their party
in Cook County. They cannot under
stand why it has lost the confidence of
the people. If they will look at the
men holding some of the public Offices
by virtue of Republican votes, they
will find out the cause.
A gang Of political cormorants, who
have had mortgage on the public
offices Of this county for the past
twenty-five years, are eating the Re.
publican party 10 death.
Look at Jack Stephens.
When was he ont OF Office?
The oldest inhabitant cannot tell.
and he is a fair sample Of the kind OF
men who control the Republican party
for their own benefit.
just what ails the Republican party
Is lack Of fresh blood. It's old blood
