No Southern Man Can Frvor the
Force Bill.

Any man in any Southern State
who should knowingly lend his
support directly or indirectly, to
the Lodge force bill would not
dare to look an honest woman in
the face, and honest men would
regard him with scorn. 1t is the
very natnre of things that such
should be the case. From an ex-
perience in some of the States
more terrible than that Of the war,
and from traditions which curdle
the blood of rising generations,
nothing Imaginable could be 80
dreadful to the white men and
women of the South as negro
domination. There is not even an
honest negro in the Sonth who
has acquired an interest in the
soil and has a family to look after
who would not dread it. The
friends of Mr.. Cleveland in the
Northern States need feel no con.
Germ about Third Party South,
nor need they waste anathemas on
the Democratic renegades in that
section who are trying to play the
role of Alliance brokers in treating
with Republican emissaries, for
they will be unable to deliver the
goods.-Philadelphia Record.

Political JObbery.

"Dr. w. P. Exum, the Third
party gubernatorial nominee, has
confded to a most intimate
friend that his party has perfected
arrangements with National
Republican headquarters, that in
case Ha-rison's election looks
favorablSon November 9Th. next,
the entire vote of the Peoples
party will be thrown into the
hands of the Republicans.
"In return, the Republicans
have pledged themselves to give
their entire vote to Weaver If
Harrison's chances of elections
should look doubtful that day.
This bargain according to the
Weaverite candidate, was made
between both parties to beat
Cleveland at all hazards and with
the express view to break the
Solid South.
"The gentleman who informed
us of this conspiracy, and to
whom this confession was made
by DR.. Exum, is a most reputable
citizen of this county, and is will
ing to make affidavit to the above
statement if it comes to the ques-
tion of veracity between himself
and DR.. Exum.
Doesn't this show plainly that
a vote for Weaver means a ballot
for Harrison and vice versa

To theVictors.

Any fool can afford to be nice
and magnanimous when every
thing goes his way but it take q
true men to stand the fires of de-
feat. Let the vanquished be true
to the cause they have honestly
espousad by stole submission to
the gibes of those who are in the
majority. If the minority is
right, it will grow in strength till
it will be irresistible. 1t cannot be
suppressed-it cannot be smothe-
red out. If it is not right it will
go down-its name will be for
gotten as tale that was told, as
a shadow that passeth by. We
are looking for manly men-men
who know how to behave whether
victors, or vanquished. The State
was never in such sore need of
kindness, liberation, Cancellation.
The supremacy and unity of the
democracy OF South Corollna is
as high above men and all other
measures, as the heavens are above
the earth. Woe unto us if not

honor, our liberty to the i'm
placable god ambition. Lord, keep

Necessity of Governmental
Reform

Reform in our national govern
ment is essentially one impulse,
one principle, one policy. Demo-
ralizing and iniquitous taxation is
intimately associated with all
other demoralizing and iniquitous
methods of legislation and ad-
ministration. Thoughtful students
of history will see the connection
between our vicious tariff system
and that extension of ''bossism"
which makes a complete reform of
the civil service more essential
than ever. They see that the waste
and corruption of our pensions
are largely a result of the same
cause. They see that the schemes
by which ignorance, fanaticism,
and avarice are comspirng to
disgrace the currency owe most of
their dangerous strength to the laws
which have trained men to seek
wealth in legislation rather than
in industry. The revolt of 1890
against the Mckinley tariff was
the first expression of an outraged
people against a great wrong, and
the passion exhausted in the effort.
But there is deeper meaning in
the widespread growth of an in
telligent sentiment of reform, in
the profound conviction that
public Office is public trust, and
that its powers must be exercised
only for the peoples good. 1t is
the rapid growth of this sentiment,
demanding a single eye to the
natiou's welfare in every appoint
ment to Office, in every enactment
of a tax, in every expenditure of
the peoples money, that is the
significant feature of American
political life. With the call for
tariff reform as the type of it's
demands, as the first and i'm
mediate practical end to be the
reached by success in this election,
independents unite with the
young Democracy and proclaim
their purpose to apply this princi-
pie everywhere.-From Harper's
Weekly.

The Scheme to Defeat Befeat
BrOOker. -

A deeply laid scheme by the
ants to defeat N. w. Brooker, the
Reform candidate, for Solicitor OF
the Fifth Circuit, with Col. P. H.
Nelson, has been revealed.
Colonel Nelson, who is Straight
out and has always been opposed
to Governor Tillman and his
administration, went through the
campaign silent as to his politics,
except on one occasion, when he
said he would vote for Sheppard
and Orr, while his friends reported
him as Tillmanite, thus deceiv-
ing many of the friends of Gov
ernor Tiilman's administration.
The ants throughout the cir
cult understood that Colonel Mel
son was their candidate and cast a
solid vote for him. Such unfair
tricks and schemes in election
should be exposed and rebuked.
The scheme was called to
Colonel Nelson's attention near
the close of the campaign, and he
refused to correct or deny it
Mr.. Brooker has ably and
zealously defended the administra-
ton, not concealing in politics to
deceive the: people. He is a we'll
read lawyer and eminently qnali--
fed to fill position. He is, and
has been from it's inception, a Re-
form movement man, and deserves
the support of every friend of the
administration, and we call upon
them to give Mr.. Brooker their
united support
Let every man turn out and

LE1TcH GETS IN AF1GHT.
The South Carolina Evangelist
Attacked in Texas

scoT1sv1LLE, Tex, Ang. A
Thomas H. Leitch, the noted South
Carolina evangelist, was assaulted
here on the holiness camp grounds
this morning by T. S. Scott, q
prominent lawyer of Marshall.
|. Last night during the services
in the tabernacle o snake was dis
covered to be in the building. It
ran near to where Mrs. Scott was
sitting and she becoming frightened
made small outcry, which caused
some disturbance in the meeting.
Leitch went at once to Mrs. Scott,
and upon being informed what was
the cause of her excitement, told
her that the devil was a snake,
and that she was on holy ground
and would therefore not be harmed.
About .this.time the snake, which
was quite a rattler, ran over the
feet of young lady who was sitt-
ing next to Mrs Scott, and they
both endeavored to get out of its
way, the young lady attempting to
get on top of the banch Leitch then
said to Mrs. Scott, "If I were in
your place I would be lady," She
replied: 81 am lady, but you are
no gentleman"
Mr.. Scott was not in the build
ing at the time that this occurred,
but leavingit soon afterwards
sought Leitch-all over the grounds
without finding him. This morning
during the early services he did
succeed in locating Leitch on the
veranda of the building, used as
sleeping place by the ministers.
Scott called Leitch out and be
he came a few steps, near the
corner of the home, Here Scott
charged him with insulting his
wife, quoting his exact language.
Leitch denied the accusation,
and as he did so Scott struck hlm
in the face, saying, "You say that
my wife lied to me?' Leitch
staggered back from the blow,
saying, "Brother Scott, don't do
that again." Scott replied, "Say
that you did insult her or Fll kill
you" Leitch then acknowledged
that he did make the insulting
remark. He made no resistance
after being struck.
AS soon as Leitch heard Scott
was. looking for him he sent
several of his friends to Scott with
an apology, which the latter
refused to accept.-Forth Worth
Gazette.

We know that many read
ers of the Advertiser dist-ust
the advertisement which an
nounces goods at cost; and
such distrust is a wise skepti-
cism on the part of the public,
for no merchant can sell goods
at cost and meet his own bills,
when presented for payment.
And yet we are going to offer
our stock Of fShoes-one thou
and dollars worth-at actual
cost, less the freight. These
Shoes are of all grades and
sizes for ladies', gents, and
children. We also offer all
our Notions, Dry Goods, and
Crockery at cost, less the
fre1ght. Our reasons Tor SELL
ing at cost are, first, we can
as well afford to sell at cost as
to keep them at cost; and
secondly, we propose in the
future to do only a grocery
business, and must dispose of
everything we keep, except
groceries, in order to get the
store room.
These two reasons ought to
satisfy the most skeptical that
we mean business. If parties
wish it we will show our bills.
