The Summerton Star, P. G. Bow
man, editor, made its appearance last
week. It is a four page six column
paper, and makes a very credltable
appearance. The Summerton people
have given it a better advertising
patronage, considering the size OF the
town, than any paper in the State.
Every business house in the town, ex-
cept two, es well as our recollection
serves US, is represented by a good
sized advertisement. MIR. Bowman
should certainly feel encouraged by
this magnificent treatment given him,
The editorial and local matter OF the
paper is very good. The subscription
price is $3.50 year.

The Pull for Governor.

| There has been great deal said abou
who shall be governor Of South Carolina
and this will be nine-tenths Of the politica
talk until the August convention stills the
tempest The newspapers and their cor
respondents write about the governor as i
he were omnipotent; rs if that officer We're
in himself Judge, jury, and sheriff, to enforce
every right and redress every wrong. They
should pause for q moment and learn the
first principles Of State government. The
! Constitution confers the only functions the
Governor can exercise, and these are few.
He cannot pass any new or change any old
law, nor can he prevent the passage of any
measure unless more than one-third OF each
branch Of the General Assembly agree with
him. His duties, as we'll as the duties OF
all State officers, are executive, and pre-
scribed by the Constitution and the Acts OF
the Legislature. Hence all that is said
against any Of these officials who have not
laid themselves liable to an action on their
official bonds, is sheer nonsense. These Of
ficers have not collected more taxes than the
Legislature levied, nor have they spent
more money for any one thing than the
Legislature appropriated. These are facts
and they cannot be denied. With IN hon
est fair-mindel membership IN the LeglSla-
ture, the Govarnor and all his ret;nEe are
not three feet high 3. r. Tillman, or any
other white man with brains and force Of
character, can help or hurt the State forty
times as much by being on the tail end of
the ways and means committee rs he could
possibly do by being ut the head of the en-
ecntive. Then why such 4 fuss about who
shall be governor? Is it not q mere matter
of taste? Many want fine shapely fellow
who is an elegant speaker to show off we'll
at the big dinners and sociables given by
cities, towns, and other States. Rnt there
are scores Of homespnn men in Pickens
county who would discharge all the real d.
ties Of the governor as we'll as any man that
has ever held the Office.
The only way to work q reform in the
State is to begin in the connties which have
been sending the wrong men to the Legisla-
ture. Reform this almighty machine, and,
our word for it, it will pnt everything in
shipshape inside of sixty days. But the
way the people have been stirred up, there
is but Ole way to quiet them, no matter who
is the Governor, or who goes to the Leaisla-
ture. Double the assessed value OF the
property reduce the tax levy one-half, and
knock off one mill from the constitutional al
two mill tax. OF course this cannot be
done, hence We sympathiZe with the mem
bers of the next General Assembl -. Pick

Col. Jos. II. Earle, who was present
at the coroner's investigation the day
after the Pinewood accident, was there
only as a spectator, and not as the
attorney for the Railroad company.
Messrs. Earle 4 Purdy, who are the
attorneys for the Railroad company,
were at once requested to look after
the interests of the Railroad, but Col.
Esrle promptly informed the Railroad
company that from the duties of his
Office as Attorney General of the State
he not only could not represent them
in this matter, but that if his services
were required at all, it would be in
favor of the prosecution. We learn
that the investigation before the cor
oner's jury was conducted without the
assistance Of any lawyer.

LET PATRIOTISM PREVAIL.

The strong opposition to Ben I'LL
man is gradually quieting down, and
it looks as if people and papers are
beginning to realize that Tillman is
not such a monster after all. We 90
not know how it is in other counties,
but in this county Tillman will re-
ceive an overwhelming vote. And
why not? If the people want him,
they have'a right to elect him. He
may not be as cultured and polished
IS others who have won gubernato-
rial honors, but he is man, fully
competent and qualified to perform
the duties of the Office.
Some claim that all this much-a-do
is simply for the purpose OF getting
the Sins out, and letting fresh crew
feed awhile on public pap. There
may be considerable truth in this,
but then there are many, very large
majority engaged in this movement,
who never expect to realize any profit
os6Ea@ ~9fEsS are he--bope and
sf the party, and it is useless to
their making any split in the
They will go to the polls, do
hey can for the Democratic party,
snd stand as firm and true rs in 81
or in '76.
It has been said that the ms and
the cold line Democrats will feel so
hurt at this movement, that they will
simply leave politics severely alone.
We think this all wrong. Patriotism
must prevail, and if the people in
their power decide that one man must
give place for another, the ousted one
should patriotically exclaim, Il am
thankful for past kindness and will con-
tinuetopro7o my devotion" he pstri-
otism that Will endure only while me or
my friend is holding Office is not the
kind on which strong government
may be built.
There is one thing, however, that
we do not like to hear, and we are
truly glad we seldom hear it: the
charge that our State government is
corrupt. We do not believe a word
Of it. Extravaganza is some times
shown, especially in the Legislature,
but in the State Offices we believe we
have as honest government as in the
United States. Dishonesty, if it ex-
lists at all, is more likely to he found
in county and petty Offices. And
should there be an entirely new set of
officers elected, we would not expect
any great change. Few would care to
see their own salaries reduced, and
when the new crew once got in Office,
just like those who now hold Office,
they would want as near life tenure
to it as possible. There seems to be
fascination about holding public Of
fee, that causes one never to want to
give it up.
The farmers have determined to
have change, and the best thing to
do, is not to oppose and thereby lose
all influence, but to gracefully yield,
and all will be well. Ben Tillman is
going to be the next governor of this
State, and he will make good one,
too.

The Sub.Treasury Bill.

We have published several articles
of late on the Sub-Treasury Bill, and
below we publish a very able article
by Judge Cothran. It is well worth
the careful and thoughtful perusal of
every intelligent citizen:
The bill provides for the storage in ware
houses of al kinds of farm products which
are suitable for storage and shipment and
not of an Immediately perishable nature.
These ware houses are to be built al over
the country. at an estimated expense, to be
borne by the Government, of something
like S50,O0O.0O0. Upon the products so
stored certificates shall be issued by the
Government, and to the amount Of 50 per
cent. of the yalue of the articles so stored
the Government shall lend to the holders of
these certificates, or receipts, money At the
rate of per cent. PEI annum.
REASON FOR TEE BILL.
The obvious reason of the demand for
this extraordinary legislation is the present
depressed condition of the agricultural in
terests all over the United States, and es-
pscially in the Western and Northwestern
States. The burning OF corn fol fuel IL the

DO NOT BORROW MONEY.

And so it is with one of the features of
this sub-treasury scheme which is so well
calculated to catch gudgeons, by holding
out the offer Of lending money at 4 cheap
rate of interest. 1t matters not what the
rate of interest is, in the end You will find
that You have to foot the bill. The present
Indebtedness of the Government, whose
mainstay and support You are, is in round
numbers 100000, 00O dollars, requiring
nearly so million dollars to meet the annual
interest. Now how does it strike yon rs a
financial policy for one who owes l,4OO mil
lion dollars bearing interest at 3 and 4 per
cent. to lend cat Its money at per cent
per annum, to say nothing Of paying ont
other millions for ware horses, for salaried
officials and so on, in order to get a chance
to commit such stupendonS folly? Com
mon sense, sonnd reason, and good judg-
ment are just as necessary in managing the
affairs of government as they are in con-
ducting farm, store, or {; bank.
Some persons of much financial skill and
energy may handle successfully borrowed
money. These constitute the exception to
the rule The rule itself is exactly the re-
verse Of this.
a lesson more valuable to our people than
any pontico-financial device that can be
conceived Of is to be found in the practical
precept, borrow not at all.
