''BecauSe I am Il Democrat"

Not many mass meetings were held
on Monday, nor was it desirable that
any should be held The argument
is exhausted. The time for speaking
has passed; the time for action has az
rived. But the meetings held on
Monday showed undoubtedly the
DRIFT of the political current, and fore
shadowed the certain triumph of the
regular Democratic State ticEet-the
ticket nominated by the September
convention, the only ticket which the
Democratic voters can support, and
upon the success of which the unity
of the party and the supremacy of
the white man in the government of
South Carolina absolutely depend.
The meetings were all one way.
Some of the speakers were intensely
bitter in their denunciation of the
Haskell movement, but all were very
earnest in their pleas for party unity
and party success No other indie
pendent movement in South Carolina
has been treated with so great consid-
Grafton OF has been more deeply de-
plored. The Haskell Independents
are regarded as more dangerous than
the Independents who have heretofore
attempted to disrupt the Democratic
party, because by their intelligence,
honesty, and courage they are more
dangerous to the future of the party
and the State, and because it will re-
quire the united efforts of all her sons
''to save South Carolina in greater
emergencies than the one now upon
u.s. The choice that the Democratic
voter will have to make in this contest
is not simply choice between men.
The integrity OF the Democratic par
ty and the unity of the white people
Of South Carolina are the great issues
at stake. The wise course, the patri-
otto course to be pursued in this cri
sis is not to drive the Haskell men out
of the party forever, but to bring
them back under the Democratic bar
ner, and to teach such a lesson at the
ballot-box on Tuesday next as will be
a warning to all who may be disposed
in the future to set up their personal
preferences against the will of the
party.
There is no time for speech-making.
ing. The few remaining days before
the election must be devoted to hard,
nnceasing political work Look after
every Democratic voter, find out where
he stands and how he will vote. If he
be weak i'll the faith, strengthen him.
If be be hating between two opin-
ions, show him that his duty to the
State can best be discharged by bis
fidelity to the party If he say that
be is inclined to support the Inde-
pendent ticket because of his person
al preference for the candidates on
that ticket, impress the fact upon
him that it IS lot the election CT &
candidate, but the preservation of the
Integrity and supremacy OF the Dem
ocratic party for which we are strug-
CLING. Reclaim the backsliders,
strengthen the weak, encourage the
despondeat, succor the helpless, and
rally the voters from one end of the
State to the ather in support of the
only Democratic ticket in the field
the ticket nominated by the Septem-
Der convention.-Neus and Courier.

A Poligam0us Villain.

EDITOR MANNING TrMEs:-Please call the
attention of the grand jury to the fact that
there is on Santee, near Wyboo Bridge, a
negro. Henry Jones. who claims to be Christ
or one of his prophets, and that his mission
is to save good looking young women, and
they must leave all and follow him. The
women may be either married or single, but
when he calls they must obey. He has qulte
. number of, as he calls them, female dis.
ciples,s one of whom. has recently given
birth to a son, and this same son Is called
the young Christ. If the grand jury wish
to inquire into this matter let them call on
the editor of the Manning Times for the
name of this writer, and they may through
him get all the evidence needed to convict

THE GREAT MAJORITY

Of cases of scrofula and other blood diseases
are hereditary, and therefore difficult to
cure. But we wish to state in the most pos
tive, emphatic manner that Hoods Sarsapa-
rilla does cure scrofula in every form. The
most severe cases. too terrible for descrlp-
ton, have yielded to this medicine when
all others failed If you suffer from impure
blood in any way take Hoods Sarsaparilla.

The New WEBSTER. Interna-
tional Dictionary is the book which is des-
tined to go into every library, every public
school, every household where American
literature is received and where the English
, language is studied.
The publishers have spent more than a
quarter Of million dollars in bringing this
work out in its unabridged, revised, enlarg-
| ed and authentic form. 1t now takes the
name international, and this IS intended
to emphasize the fact that the language Of
the mother country now encircles the globe.
Every page has been treated as if the book
were now published for the first time. The
claim OF the publishers is that it retains
! that excellence in definition which has
made Webster the safe and familiar author
| ity to which judges. journalist, scholar, art
! isan, and man of business refer, and that
! in etymology, pronunciation, citations and
, pictorial illustrations it carries to greater
perfection the merits Of its predecessors.

Jack. the hair cutter, has swOoDed down
on Chicago at last. He has come with his
shears and supreme nerve. His first ex-
plot here was recorded when he invaded
the home of pretty Mrs. Stomer, at 613
North Lincoln street, and after fierce
fight choked her into seriousness and
then stripped her of her splendid brown
hair. Mrs. Stomer's husband, who is a
plumber, left home to go to work at
o'clock. Ten minutes after he had gone
tall stranger, whose features were partly
hidden by the broad brim of a SLOUGH hat,
rang the door bell, and Mrs. Stomer, who
answered the summons, admitted him to the
parlor, thinking he had business to transact.
The instant the fellow was inside he seized
Mrs Stnmer by the throat with both hands
and choked. her. Unable to make any out
cry to bring assistance, the plucky little
woman fought desperately with. her hands
and feet until her strength failed, and she
fell TO the floor unconscious.
When she was awakened fifteen minutes
later she was lying on the parl0r fiUor, and
several women of the neighborhood were
bending over her. anxiously watching for
signs of returning animation. Her beauti-
full brown hair, which was her pride and
the envy OF her female acquaintance, was
gone. The stranger had cut il off close to
the scalp, and in his hurry and anxiety to
get the tresses had sent the keen blades of
his shears into the flesh in a number of
places, leaving wounds which were bleed

but though they hunted high and low for
the fellow all day they could get no trace of
him. Mrs. Stomer is % years old and she
has one child, a bright-eyed little girl. 1t
was the latter's shrieks while lying in her
crib that brought assistance to Mrs. Stomer.
The police have little hope of catching the
hair-cutter. Nobody saw him go into or
leave the house, and the only one who saw
his face was Mrs. StOmer, who says she
