In the September number of
Harper's Magazine there is q strik-
ingly interesting account of a gen.
eral election in England written by
Richard Harding Davis. Mr.. Da.
Wis emphasizes very strongly the
points in which an English cleo
ton differs from those to which he
is accustomed in the United States
but Mr.. Davis writes from the
standpoint of a Northern man and
Is therefore familiar only with po-
litical contests as they are fought
and won under Tammany ideals
and standards. If he had been in
South Carolina during the last cam
paign he would have found that
"heckling" and the other unpleas-
ant features of English elections
are not by any means new in the
United States. Mr.. Davis descrip-
ton would apply very accurately
to a Southern campaign If that
part referring to the participation
of the English women were left
out.

If there is q Tillmanite editor in
the State his name Is Nettles. If
there is a dispensary editor in the
State his name is Nettles too. Mr..
Nettles runs a paper In Sumter
and here is what he says in last
weeks issue: g
1t is said that in Laurens the adj
vocates of the dispensary not be-
ing able to get a majority of the
freeholders of that town to sign a
petition for q dispenser, a deed to
to one-eighth of an acre of land
was made to about fifty or sixty
white men and negroes, and that
these additional names were used
to secure the appointment of a dis
penser. This is all wrong, and the
board of control should have re-
fused to appoint a dispenser under
fair play and an honest course, but
such a proceeding is neither fair
nor honest. We suspect that it is
through spite and on account OF
politics that a dispeDsary was not
established in laurens, but then it
is better to quietly submit to these
evils and bide the time than to take
such a rash and revolutionary
course to accomplish ones purpose.
AS to MI. Nettles' suspicion that
sit was through spite and on &C.
count of politics that a dispensary
was not established in Laurens, we
presume to refer him to our Till
mantle Senator, DR.. Fuller, who is
consistent prohibitionist and who
strenuously opposed the intruding
OF a dispensary upon us.
Otherwise, Mr.. Nettles, your
points ire astonishingly we'll taken.

We have abundant faith in the
strength and power of our political
views to convince IL they can be
accorded a fair hearing. We do
confess, however, and it is with
modification, that a very large and
important element of the masses
has been persuaded to ignore and
shut their eyes to anything that
unTillmanistic papers may say,
and we among them are so cut off
from frank and candid argument
with the very persons with whom
1t is u earnest desire to speak.
1t Is not only deplorable but re-
markable that two-thirds of the
white people Of the State seriously
suspect the honesty of all the Anti
TDlman papers published; and this
in the face of the fact that every
Anti Tillman paper is daily losing
dollars by its political course. 1t
is in the face Of the further fact
that there are not more than two
or three Anti Tillman editors who
have been Office seekers while the
Tjllmanite editors who have gained
political rewards may be num-
bered by the dozen.

sist in efforts to advance the cause

ions even though we are prepared
to expect unwelcome receptions

Boistefous and oft repeated as

Boistefous and oft repeated as
sertions that the repeal of the
Sherman act will reduce the
amount of money In circulation
are worthless until they are forth
fed with evidence. During the
past fiscal year while the Treasury
has been buying $4,500,0O0 per
month the circulation has actually
decreased. Inferior dollars whose
faces are full Of false p~retenses of
value expel honest coin and do not
increase the real. stock value on
hand.
1t Is strange that people allow
themselves to be deceived with the
cry that debtors were cheated by
the characterization of silver in '73.
The facts are that only eight mil
lion silver dollars had at that time
been coined since the United
States came into existence. They
were a nominal quantity in the
country's currency and it is folly
to claim that the cessation of their
manufacture affected obligations
of debtors to any appreciable ex-
tent. We believe that a sound and
stable money, whose value at any
moment may be estimated with
reasonable accuracy, is what a
country must have to insure per-
manent prosperity and we doubt If
the health of business depends
upon the number of dollars in cir
culation nearly SO much as the po-
liticians aver. A measure to ex-
pand the currency by Congress
would probably afford some re-
lief but its most important bene-
fetal result would be in removing
the widespread distrust which has
found a lodging deep in the hearts
of the people.

If every man In the State were

A stranger attempted to cross
North Raborn at It. Hellam's ford
on the road leading from Dials
Church to Babbtown, the creek
was up and his horse could not
pull the buggy up steep bank. He
saved his horse by cutting him
loose from the buggy. He lost part
of his harness and umbrella.
Damages at least ten dollars. The
buggy foated down the creek
against the foot log, and the neigh
bors fastened a log chain to it and
drew it q shore.
Our Commissioners ought to
build a bridge at this point or close
