TIE N0cA8ULARY TAXED.

The Constitution is the medium through
which prominent citizen of Sumter
county, promscuously throws oat big
gobs of gloom. From the exhaustive man
ner in which the vocabulary is taxed and
distorted may be recognized the hand of
Mr.. Bascom Myriek. From the inter
view we quote:
For thirty years the democrats have
frothed at the mouth over 'goldbugs,
'bloated bondholders,' piratical tools of
Wall street, and all that genus of Shy
lockian monstrOsities. And, from pres
eut indications, if they succeed in secur-
ing enough democratic votes in congress
to carry the gold brigandage scheme
through, which republicans could not
have done, there will hardly be solvent
man, firm, corporation, or concern be-
tween the Atlantic anu Pacific oceans.
Railroads will go into receivers hands,
banks will be busted; mines, mills and
factories will be shut down; merchants
and farmers will be sold out at forced
sales; the whole earth will be plastered

ELECTION LAWS 10 BE REPEALED.

Within a few days every law relating
to federal interference with the conduct
of elections at the polls will be wiped off
the statute books. Prompt repeal OF
these laws has been decided upon by the
democratic congressman and a bill has
been prepared and introduced by MI
Fitch chairman of the committee.
While the bill is under consideration
there will be lively times in the house,
even in comparison with the fight on the
sherman bill. MI. Fitch, of course,
will lead the fight on the demo-
cratic side, and Mr.. Reed will take up
the cudgel and make a speech for the
opposition. This will give Bonrke Coch-
ran chance to add 10 his brilliant rec
ord and score Reed as before when the
subject was brought up. Mr.. Cannon,
of Illinois, will be the red shirt waver,
and his speech will drip with blood from
start to finish. Messrs. Black, # Geor-
gia, Catchings and Mcmillan will also
have something to say. This will be an
occasion for Mr.. Breckenridge, of Ken
lucky. lie hopes to talk himself back
into popularity in the heated discussion
which will follow.

4 GREAT MERCHANT.

Mr.. c. A Davis, who died recently at
Greensboro, in this state, was in some
respects very remarkable man. He was
probably by far the most successful
merchant in the south, his estate being
estimated at about one million dollars.
In short article devoted to this re-
markably successful country merchant
the Macon News says:
Mr.Davis' life was devoted almost ex-
clusively to merchandising. He owned
no plantations, backed no outside enter
prises and engaged in no speculations,
but confined his attention strictly to his
immense mercantile establishment He
practically monopolized the trade of
Greensboro and the surrounding terrific
~ for miles around.
rhe methods employed by Mr.. Davis
were such as must have commanded sue
cess under almost any circumstances.
He started just after the war with very
limited means. The country was flush
at the time; credit was worth but the
asking for it. Mr.. Davis, however, adj
hered strictly to the cash system aud
allowed his competitors to do all the
credit business. His business increased
very rapidly and soon his competitors
began to fall by the wayside. Finally be
became master of the field, having built
up an enormous business and amassed a
great fortune. He then opened bank
ing business in connection with his store.
He still continued to sell his goods only
for the cash, but persons with good Sc
curity could borrow the money from him
with which to make their purchases.
A striking feature of Mr.. Davis policy
was his thorough faith in newspaper adj
yertising Notwiths anding the fact that
for years he was practically without com
petition he continually made yearly con
tracts with the home paper for an unu-
sualIy large space which received his
constant attention. He often remarked
that newspaper advertising vas noves-
sary adjunct to successful business and
il paid handsomely ev. II when there was
no competitor, from the fact that it slim
ulated the demand for goods

NO DlsoRGANizER NEED 4PpLt.

The Rome Tribune is rightfully of the
opinion that if the Hon. w. Y. Atkin-
sons candidacy for gubernatorial honors
is to have no basis but opposition to the
administration, he will not make head
way very fast. Every citizen has right
to mis- opinion ON the conduct of the ma
tional administration, but if any man
thinks he can climb 20 honor by foment-
ing strife, division and Reorganization
in the democratic ranks, he will find him
self mistaken. The need of the Eour is
a peacemaker.

Not the way to Raise the Price

From the Eufaula Times.
The white caps of Mississippi who
threaten to fire every cotton npl in
the STATE that gins the staple befFe its
price rises to ten cents pound have
begun operations by burning ivy big
mills and posting notices upon ders.
Bat they cannot thus RAISE the Price,
not if they burn every gin house ad all
the cotton in Mississippi, or IN 4 the
cotton, growing states. They hnot
burn the cotton of the Indies, or sypt,
or Brazil, or Mexico. The price Scot-
ton in this country is regulated the
piice in the other countries in web it
is raised. 1t good cotton can be Rght
in India at SIX cents a pound, coth of
the same kind Will not sell for mort han
that in Mississippi. The cotton p Fers
of a dozen counrries are now comking
with each other in the worlds md ets,
and the competition between thA iii
these years is far closer than 1T v in
former times.
