What Haskell Thought of Independentism.

Judge A. C. Haskell, the independent
candidate for governor, occupies a very
anomalous position. AS We said once before,
he reminds us of spoilt child that has
Teen whipped: he keeps a smiling, and a
shaking his head, and a saying, But will
now y In 1887, three years ago, Charles
to,. was, it will be remembered, threatened
with , division in the Democratic party.
The aspect while local was serious and
would AVE had an i'll effect on the entire
State Then Independentism was worse
than Radicalism, and here IS what Judge
Haskell himself then said. Read his own
words and ponder them:
II anu shocked to see this thing. An lnde-
pendent movement in Charleston IS not on
Iy treachery to that city, but to the State,
and if successful would be repudlated by
the State. II, for the sake Of personal DISLIKE
to leaders, the Independents ruin the party
which is the white mans party, and the
party Of conservative and intelligent color
ed people of the State, they will be con-
demned by all The people of the State, they
will be condemned by all the people of South
Carolina as traitors, not only to their own
interests, but to the interests of the entire
State.
"This movement is leading back to the
condition of affairs from which they were
rescued in 1876, and if they get back to it
the people of the State will not help them
ont of it. In South Carolina tits not mat
ter OF local issues or personal preferences;
It is q matter Of life and death.
There is only one way by which we can
hope to maintain an honest government,
and every true citizen is bound to adhere to
that, whatever his opinions of persons or
local questions; and the way is to obey The
coice Of the majority of the Democratic party.
If he does not he is dese,ter, and should be
so treated"

According to official returns South Caro-
lima has population of l,147,1Gl. Claren-
don county has 23,177.
Hon. Robert Aldrich, of Barnwell, has
offered his services to the Democratic State
executive committee to stump the State for
the regular Democratic ticket.
Haskell was burnt in efigy in the town of
Kershaw last Friday night. Among the
large crowd participating in the demonstra-
ton was number of his old soldiers.
The State executive committee Of the
Democratic party has instructed the county
chairman Of each county to have 4 cam
paign meeting at the court house Monday,
Oct 9th.
Haskellism was denounced in unmeasured
terms last Friday by the Williamsburg coun-
ty Democratic executive committed the pre-
amble to the resolutions citing among other
things: 1--WE presume that their candidate
for Secretary of State, from this county, is a
fair representative of the whole; if SO, and
they should get in power. God save our
State" Ed. Harper is the candidate for Sec
retary Of State.

Haskell Beaten by Both Wings OF the
Democracy TrIes Indepenlentism.

The action Of Judge Haskell has p:ccpi-
tatei Il crisis which the conservative citi-
ZenS of South Carolina have hitherto earn
estly striven to avoid. Twice have conven-
tons been called to nominate an An!l-Tlll-
man ticket Twice have men whom Tillman
had arraigncd and abused hurried to Col
umbia, and by voice and vote prevented
the impending crisis We can never forget
that night in August when these men as
senlble,l at the call of Chancellor Johnson
to see what could be done to preserve their
rights of citizenship. Every seat in the
House of Representatives was ocnpicd; all
spectators had been excluded from the gal
leres; the decks We're cleared for action.
The discussion Oh both sides had gone far
into the night Haskells and Barnwell,s
fiery words had famed Indignation into
fame
1t was then that Kennedy and Smyth and
Orr and Cothran threw themselves in the
breach and checked the headlong tide. 1t
was nearly three o'clock in the morning.
The seats were empty. The men had risen
and crowded around the speaker in 4 circle
so close that the gestures almost touched
them. Many OF the men were hot with
wrath. Every indignant word Of defiance
lisille tue ul!l liuS Will CHEERS. 1ue Moi"H
of those who counselled submission to
wrong for the sake of South Carolina fell in
olninous silence. The men who sympa-
thized with them were toe seriously earnest
for clamor. They were about to surrender
as brave men who surrender a fortress for the
sake Of the women and children within 1t.
They did it without tlinchlng.
That action was decisive. Itspoke for the
straightout democracy, and Haskell and ms
aiders knew it was so. 1t was because 1t
was so, that they fought so stTenuonsly TO
carry this convention with them. They
are still free men. They can repudiate
both factions of the Democratic party.
They may claim that the Democracy no
longer holds their allegiance, but let them
do so fairly and honestly. Let them an
nounce themselves as Independent. Let
them not assume the name Of the Straight
out Democracy which they could not con-
troll and whose sentiment they do not voice.
Let them not saddle upon US the conse-
quences of their folly.-Spa7tar'Iurg Herald.

Brawley Spurns HaSkellism.

Moi. W. q. Brawley, OF Charleston, SAID
Monday in an interview with Charleston
World reporter:
81 am the regular nominee Of the Demo
cratic party of the first congressional dis
trict. This Democracy is in organic union
with the Democratic party Of the State and
of the United States. AS such could sup
port no other; every consideration of party
loyalty and personal honor demands that I
stand by the regular nominees of the party.
II T did not do so, should surrender to the
party the trust they placed in my hands.
The fact that my law partner has become a
candidate Of an opposition party cannot al
ter nv obligation OF affect my action. en-
deaYored in every way possible to dissuade
him from this course, not knowing to what
deplorahle consequences it might lead, but
as you may well know he isa gentleman who
links for himself.
His partner alluded to above isl. W. Barn
well, candidate for Attorney General on the
Haskell ticket, and the man who ravlngly
swore Tillman should never be governor, and
that the poor misguided people must be
taught better sense than to vote for Tillman.

WONDERFUL CURES.
ATLANTA, GA, Jan. 2, ]S90.-Six months
ago, at the request Of q friend who was in
terested in the sale of Kings Royal Germe-
tuer, I made written statement of the ben
efts T had received from the use of that
medicine. In that statement l expressed the
belief that it would cure me entirely of ca
tarrh. Within the last two months I have
received letters from every quarter OF the
nation calling on me for further informa-
ton j regard to my health. 1t has been
impossible for me to write privately to each
person who has made this request, and I am
therefore under the necessity of making
another public statement.
I am free from catarrh. I believe that
could get certificate to this effect from any
competent physician. have used no med
lcine within the last six months except
Kings Royal Germctuer. My health is bet
ter than it has been in thirty years. I am
in possession of information which war
rants me in saying that the relief which l
have exnar; cnceu from the use of the medi-
cine is not more certain and radical than
that which it has brought to hundreds of
persons in Georgia and other States.
feel it to be my duty to say, also, that
the effects of this remedy upon my wife
have been even more signal and wonderful.
She has been almost lifelong invalid from
nervous headache, neuralgia, and rheuma-
tism. In a period of thirty years she has
scarcely had days exemption from pain.
She has been using Germetuer about two
months. A more complete transformation
I have never witnessed. Every symptom Of
disease has disappeared, She appears to be
twenty years younger, and is as happy and
playful as healthy child. We lave per-
suaded many of our friends to take the
medicine, and the testimony of all OF them
is that it is great remedy.

Another Account of the Dis urbanoe in
Coffee County.

Coffee County.
WAYCRoss, Ga, Oct 25.-The fol-
lowing facts in relation to the riot at
Stokes Still, near McDonald's Mill, Ga,
have been obtained from an authorita-
tive source and personal investigation:
l.. s. Varne leased q lot of land from
the Waycross Lumber company, Just
over the Ware line in Coffee county,
and recently commenced preparations
for working it for turpentine this fall.
The same lot of land was sold by Fl. NJ,
Hit to Tom Sears and the timber
leased to F. M. Stokes for turpentine
purposes A week or ten days ago
Tom Sears ordered Varne's hands off
the land with his gun. The first Of the
week Varne had the work resumed,
notifying the parties that he would sub
nit to legal process. Otherwise he
should work the lot, but cautioned his
hands against trouble and ordered
them to act strictly ON the defensive.
Tuesday Thomas Sears waylaid
Varne's wagon and shot his steamster
who is not expected TO live. Wednes-
day afternoon Thomas Sears, his father.
Frank Sears, Bryan McLendon, James
Hendricks and others came over into
Ware. about mile and half from the
land in dispute, to the house of Robert
Knight, colored, where Welcome Col
den and other colored employees Of
Varne were stopping out of the rain,
and commenced firing into the house
The hands all ran except Knight and
Golden, who returned the fire, killing
McLendon and Hendricks, woodmen of
Stokes, and wounding Frank SearB
Mr.. Varne was six miles away, at his
still, and knew nothing of the trouble
until afterwards.
The sheriff, coroner and Waycross
