The smartest girl in Washington coun-
ty is said to be Miss Edith Kaler,. the 16-
year-old daughter of Charles Kaler of
Centreville. She does the cooking for
the logging crew in her fathers camp,
and s'totes'' their dinner one and a half
miles through the forest. Unless the
crew is very small one, this would al
most seem a bad thingto boast about
and the example one hardly worth fol-
lowing.

THE UNION MIDDLE.
The County Still Without Treasurer and
an Auditor.
lThe State. !

UNION, Feb. 6-To-day was the time
fixed for the county commissioners to
hold special meeting for the purpose
of examining the bond Of Thomas H.
Gore, who received the appointment of
treasurer in place OF J. B. Scott. Mr..
Gore was on hand and presented bis
bond to that honorable body, who after
a thorough Investigation of the solven-
cy of the endorsers refused to approve
it. The endorsers are w. r., ]. F. and
j. A. Betsill, H. G. Lawson, and NJ. P.
Patton, the latter being aSpartanburg
man. The consequence IS Mr.. Gore
will have to try again.
Gore says that be has thirty days in
which to file his bond and that be does
not think it will pay him to ride the
country over to get up a $40, 900 bond
for the very small amount of salary in
the office, and furthermore that the
torn-up condition of affairs in the office
Just at this time would be quite a
hazardous risk for him to undertake.
James r. Blanton who received the
appointment of auditor, in place Of =.
3. Morgan, has taken a more sensible
view of the situation Of things, and has
positively refused to make his bond
until after the examination of the Off
ces, which is now in progress.
So the county is still without treas
urer and auditor, and the time for col
lecting the taxes expires on the 10th OF
this month. Up to this time there is
but little over SO per cent. of the taxes
collected. What shall We do? Must
we pay the Is per cent. penalty?

Dana's Democracy.

Editor of The Herald and News: The
present Sun building, at Frankfort and
Nassau streets, in New York City, is
he same structure slightly remodeled,
which up to 1867 had earned national
notoriety as "Tammany Hail." The
politicians of Tammany last used it dur
ing the mayorality campaigns of 1867,
at which time the new Wigwam on
Fourteenth street was in course of erec-
ton. This latter was formally dedi-
Gated on July 4, 1868, at the meeting of
the National Democratic convention
which nominated Horatio Seymour for
President of the United States.
Meanwhile Charles A. Dana, having
purchased the Sun from Moses l.
Beach, had also bought the old Tam
mary hall building and transformed it
into a newspaper publication office
whence was to issue rampant Repub-
lican daily whose main purpose was to
boost General L. S. Grant for the Presi
dency. Unon the nomination of Cen
eral Grant the Sun stated that he
would ''sweep the country like tidal
wave"
With rare ability and assiduity the
Sun championed Grants fitness and
predicted his triumph, and upon his
election and Induction into office i. con-
tinued with fulsome laudation of his
executive acts.
or Dana's devotion General Grant
bethought him to tender some suitable
appointment to the editor. He made
Dana Surveyor of the Port of New
York. Dana had been Assistant Secre-
tary of War under Lincoln, ,and there is
little doubt that be expected to be Sec
retary Of War under Grant. At any
rate, he turned up his nose at the trivial
position offered him, and, having de-
clined with polite sarcasm, thencefor-
ward trained his relentless guns upon
Grant, bis administration, and the r.
publican party. Tracing Dana's appa-
rent change of political faith to its
correct source, personal pique, it has
always been question whether in any
true sense he ever became a Demo-
crat.
At present he is taking pains to coun-
sci the Democracy as to its proper
course in the coming Presidential CAM
paign, and his paper, the Sun, is ran
tankercus David Bennett Hill organ.
With this brief glimpse of Mr.. Dana's
milk-andwater Democracy, it might
be suspected with reason that his advo-
cacy of Democratic principles and of
Hill is very liable, even if not designed
to be, if effective, an irretrievable i'll
jury in the impending struggle for
Presidential triumph.

GOOD ALLIANCE DOCTRINE.

The Executive Committee of the
Alliance Of Kansas, through the official
organ of that State, has promulgated
and set forth some good doctrine. It
says there is 40 legitimate connection
between the Alliance and the third
party, or the Peoples Party-"the
Peoples Party being outside of, and
independent of the Alliance"
In addition to this it says that the
Alliance is net political party. 1t
says:
"We now officially declare that there
IS no such thing as an Alliance ticket
Neither can the Alliance hold party
political caucus, q party primary elec-
ton or adopt strict measures as such
within Alliance meetings proper with
out liability of forfeiting their charter.
We have not the shadow Of right to
use the funds Of the treasury for strict
party purposes, yet we have the right
TO advocate any principle or platform
adopted by State or National organiza-
tions, and to judiciouSly spend money
for institutes, encampments, ETC., held
or legally authorized as part of the
work of our order"
We hope this is good Alliance doc
trine, and that the Alliance as a dis
tinct organization will not go into poll
tics, especially in this State. Let US
all get together and elect the best men
to office without regard to factions or
prejudices.
The Alliance should not attempt to
bind the coasciences Of its members in
the matter of voting. Let every man
vote as his judgment dictates, regard
less of any combinations.

STAND EY THE FARMERS.

Many of the farmers are in distress
ing condition. The percentage OF their
cotton yield has been poor, prices have
been ruinous, and as a conseq uence
many Of them have been unable to bal
apce their accounts.
Too strong disposition on the part
of the factors and merchants to be rlgld
and eXacting with. the farmers would
prove disastrous and distressing. 1t Is
true that their embarrassment is due IN
many cases 10 their own mismanage-
ment, but over and above this there
have been conditions which it was be-
yond their power to modify. They have
moreover learned some valuable lessons
from the experience Of the past year.
Altogether they are entitled to the SYM
pathy and support of those who have
their success or failure in their bands.
If there ever was time when the
factors and merchants should stand by
the farmers it is now, when, without
money or supplies, they are not able to
stand by Observation-Disclosures Chron-
icle.
This is probably ali very true. But
at any and all times the farmers and
the factors and the merchants and the
bankers ought all to pull together and
work together, for they are all mutu-
ally dependent upon each other. In
this stringency of the money market
the man who wants to borrow realizes
)re than any other the truth of this
deposition. Those who have money
to lend and can help ont this stringency
should not hoard it nor should they take
advantage of the necessities Of their less
favored brethren and charge them ex-
horbitant rates of interest. This time
when it is necessary for our people to
help one ano her. 1t is 20 time for
class strifes nor prejudices. Those who
owed money and depended on cotton
to pay it, have been unable in many
cases to do 50. Where there is honest
effort the more favored should be in-
cined to help and encourage. But
The Herald and News believes that
good will come out of it. Our people
will realize the necessity and i'm
portance of raising at home all their
food stuffs ard then what cotton is
raised, the nlouey we get for it will be
kept among Us for the uses Of trade and
exchange.
Another lesson will be impressed
which is that we are all interested in
one another and mutually dependent
upon each other. The farmer will need
the banker and the merchant and vice
versa
It is time to get settled down to busi-
ness and take courage for the future.
Let US hope and believe that there is a
good time ahead of US and go to work
to realize the fruition of that hope.

That was a grand ovation given
Grover Cleveland in Atlanta last week,
when it is remembered it was without
previous notice. Mr.. Cleveland was
on a pleasure trip South. and did not
care for any notoriety. There is not
another living American in private
life who can arouse the enthusiasm of
Mr.. Cleveland among the people. He
is great man and statesman and we
believe will be the choice Of the people
for the next President.
No ex-Presdent since the early days
Of the republic has so lived in the love,
respect and admiration of the people
as Mr.. Cleveland.

WHY HE WITHDREW.


WASHINGTON, Feb. S.-Fragmentary
and incorrect reports of q conversation
had some time ago between Secretary
Blaine and Col. Vincent A Taylor,
member of Congress from the Cleve-
land (Ohio) district, which throws
much light upon the reasons for the
Secretary's letter of withdrawal, having
recently been circulated, Col. Taylor to-
night gave to United Press reporter
the following account of the converse
ton. In answer to direct question
whether such a conversation actually
took place, Col. Taylor said:
"Yes, I did have a talk with Mr..
Blaine, some two months ago, on the
situation regarding the coming cam
paign, and as he has now arrived at
decision, there can be nothing wrong
in my giving you an account of what
was said by him at that time; and as
our interview occurred some two
months ago, it will be Of more interest
as tending to show that some of the
theories held by some persons had no
foundation in fact. | refer to one, that
Mr.. Blaine was holding on SO as to pre-
vent others from coming into the field;
and to another, that there was an un-
friendly feeling between himself and
the President.
"Mr. Blaine said: Il do not want
the nomination. There was a time
when I did, but that time is past.
Next, the unwritten law of parties ac-
cords to faithful public servant re-
nomination; and so, unless it be clearly
shown that the party is i'll danger of
defeat in the coming campaign, and
that +, as a candidate. would he the
stronger man, I would have no right
to be candidate, no matter if wanted
the nomination, rather than not want
ing it,"
