THERE was quite mistake in our
table of election returns, last week.
Miss ALA Gregg's vote, according
to the table, was 1876, while in fact
it was GAG. We gladly make the
correction-only wish it had been
twice as much.

SPEAKING of Miss ALA GIegg's
vote, Bro. Brooke, of the Plaindeal-
er. who was not aware of her real
vote, said she ran behind her ticket,
which proves that a woman cannot
be elected to office in Anderson
county, When he looks up Miss
Gregg's true vote, he will see that
she did not run behind her ticket.
AS to whether a woman can be elect
ed to office in this county-welI,

PRECEDENTS.

Reforms demanded are not only
change of laws, but change OF
methods, and no reform party will
succeed that adopts the methods or
accepts the precedents of it's pre-
decessors. The POpulist house OF
representatives OF 81 had precenents
for its numerous investigating COM
mittees. but cost in dollars and
cents, cost the party votes and
popularity The Dunsmore house
had presidents. Republicans, for
the course pursued, but being
adopted by new party, furnished
the opposition powerful and effect
i've club with which to beat down
votes. PopuIist officials have
hundreds of precedents, furnished
by both old parties for employing
relatives in the public service as
secretaries, ETC., but while it Is
not necessarily wrong it Injuries the
new movement. '9o'a'.'"f'.'- 2>@
Populists riding on the cars on

lists. AS we go along we are learn

The eyes of the world are upon US.

In the city of Topeka, the city that
furnished the great congintent OF the
Republican traitors last winter, the
Republican rabble dressed silly
bloke in what they termed the garb
of farmer, on the night of their
recent ratification, and chased him
around the streets, shouting, "The
farmers are not in it" The dullest
tiller of the soil should see that the
brass.collar dudes of the cities look
upon farmers as class long way
below themin intelligence and social
worth, and are fit subjects to be
swindled and skinned, right and
left by the brainless pretenders.

The editor of the Topeka Capital
has written another letter to Gov
ernor Lewelling, and no doubt the
Governor feels very badly in conse-
quence thereof.

Business is reviving-in the
newspaper reports-and bankruptcies
continue to loom up on the court
records. We have a wonderful
financial system, and the poor fools
who are being ground to powder by
it continue to uphold ic by their
votes-but, then, men must have
brains to enable them to see into
these. Party prejudice don't help
them. t

Ringing the Dead Home.

In Shropshire, England, there is Gus
tom of ringing the dead home"-viz,
Ginning all the bells instead of ringing
only one while the funeral is on its way
to the church. When the procession
nears the churchyard gate, the Ginning
is stopped, and minute bell is tolled.
The sections fees at Much Wenlock, as
laid down in 1889, include "a-chime, if
required before the funeral, OIL o." At
Hatherleigh, a small town in Deyonshire,
it was the prevalent custom to ring a
lively peal on the church bells after q
funeral, as elsewhere after a wedding. :.
Even in the present day in some re-
mote rural districts, and especially in
Hampshire, the practice still prevails of
leaving open the outer door Of the house
through which the corpse has been car
ried until the mourners return from
church, and in some places tho custom
extends also to the windows. This arises
from a superstition that If the doors or
windows be shut there will certainly be
another death In the house within year.
In some districts there Is belief that Il,
when the moment Of death approaches,
all the doors and windows of the house
are opened, the spirit will leave the body
more easily.-Westminster Gazette.

much of the Bible that was before hid

Put downfall the promises of the Bible
on table for study, and put on one side
the table man who has never had any
trouble, or very little of it, but pile upon
the table beside him all encyclopedias,
and all dictionaries land all archaologies,
and alls commentaries, and on the other
side ofEthe table put man who has had
trial upon trial, disaster upon disaster,
and let him begin the study of the
promises, without lexicon, without COM
mentary, without any book to explain
or help, and this latter man will under
stand far more of the height and depth
and length and breadth of those prom
ises than the learned exegete opposite,
almost submerged in sacred literature.
The one has the advantage over the
other because he has felt the mission of
the frosts. 0. take the consolation OF

month after the landing OF the eoionists.
Two ships sent out by Raleigh TO the sue
