YOURS "ERGIN" SAMPS.
A WORD OR TWO ABOUT
SAMPS POPE,

Prayed from Sadlers, Stradlers,
Kickers, Backers, Boilers,
Buffers, and the Devil, All in
One.
Mr.. EDITOR: samps Pope, the
festive didaper of South Carolina
politics, has again bobbed up Sc
renely at another place in the gu
bernatorial race. His rawlings and
opportunities have been the laugh
ing-stock of men of every political
persuasion. He is making the
third (and last, we hope) attempt
to grasp the prize which his heart
covets-the rulership of a great
commonwealth.
In the winter and spring every
conclave of Reformers was graced
by his scowling face and deler-
mined gesture; the leafy boughs
of summer heard his gentle COO
ings and overtures to his Conserva-
tive brethren; now, the quiet
winds of autumn are whispering
his wooings Gin accents mild" to
the darkey singing in the corn.
So this apostle of protection,
erstwhile follower of the meek
and lowly Benjamin, would have
been United States marshal; one
who wouldn't touch a copy OF the
Columbia State, ti-dispensary-
ite; and one who was never beaten
for Office, (always backs out), is
going to appeal to the niger? OF
coarse, Bro. Sampson, in his mani
festo doesn't go this far, but his
position implies as much. How
else does he expect to get elected?
Out with Reformers, never been IN
with Conservatives, the negro is
his only hope. Most of the ants,
even if they didn't vote, are good
Democrats, and are not going to
repudiate their Democracy for a
man who might desert in the hour
of need. Alec. Haskell, with the
full support of his faction, failed
ignominiously; where will Samps
with a few soreheads from each
party appear, If he doesn't call on
the negro?
Pope says: Governor Tillman
had a three hours chat with Muir
ray, the negro Congressman. This
looks as if they had gone to the
negro" Now this is the most ab-
surd thing put forth during the
whole campaign. Ben Tillman,
already elected by a white majority
appealing to "cuff"? Utter rot!
To my mind this is only forerun-
ner and an extenuation of an ap-
peal about to be made by Pope
himself. If Samps doesn't ask for
negro suffrage, it will be because
of his doing as he always does
funking.
The man we want for Governor
is man of backbone; a man who
will stand firm as a rock. Pope's
record this year fully demonstrates
that he is unfit for anything-much
less Governor. AS between Evans
and Pope no one can hesitate-the
one firm, and even when an enemy,
an honest one, the other, a feeting
Will O'wisp blown by every wind OF
doctrine, and chasing the widest
fancies. May the good Lord de-
liver US from Sadlers, Stradlers,
Kickers, Backers, Boilers, and
Buffers like Samps Pope, Ellison
Keitt, Cal Caughman, Jerry Cog
gans, md der 7seJeI.
Yours "ergin" Samps,
SEMPHRoNICUs.

TFor the ADVERTISER.
Items from the Antioch Section.


Politics, hard times and short crops
are the many topics of conversa-
ton. The cotton is even shorter
than we expected a month ago.
This, coupled with the low price
and high bacon and lard and other
neccssaries, make our people wear
long faces.
Now, friends, look here, if you
wear long faces you need not wear
old clothes. For five cents you
can buy a bottle of "Carter's Black
Ink" take an old toothbrush and
apply ink freely and you will in a
half hour have converted an old
hat into new one. Buy three
packages of Diamond dye and boil
YOUR old suit and cravat in it for
one or two hours and you have a
new outfit. Now step into a pair
of cigar boxes and present yourself
at tea and your loving, tender wife
will not recognize you.
Of course I need not make any
suggestions as to the nobler and
fairer sex, for there is no end to
the turning of skirts and twisting
of bows and remodelling Of hats
Let's call q convention. What say

Arrested

Sheriff r. P. Jones of Iowa City, Is.,
arrived in Los Angeles yesterday morn.
ing with requisition papers for T. E.
Murphy. wanted there on a charge of
seduction.
The crime with which Murphy is
charged was committed last August, the
victim being Maud M. Bane, the dsugh-
ter of well-to-do parents Of Johnson
county. Her ruin wac accomp lished un-
der promise of marriage.
After the fellow go wrongfully betrayed
the girl he fad the state, coming to this
city on the 23d of last February. Chief
Glass was notified that Murphy was
thought to be here, and Detectives Au-
BILE and HAwley soon found him. While
awaiting advices from the sheriff ct Iowa
City, who had been notified by Chief
6lass of Murphy's presence, the much
wanted man left the city and
it looked for time as though
he had escaped. But it fell to the lot of
Detective Benson to locate Murphy in
San BernardinO.
Detectives Auble and Hawley went at
once to San Bernardino and arrested the
Iowa refugee, whom they found ready to
60 on q prospecting tour through the

NEW CHARTER SUGGESTIONS i,
Some Points offered by Knights
of Labor.
A Proposal Submitted Regarding the
Referendum.
What the COMMITTEES Think of One Man
Power and the Charter of tho City
of Brooklyn-DattssO OF Tax
Colloctor-Othor Points.

The charter revision committee met
last night with Mr.. Rhodes in the chair.
Mr.. Louis K. Webb appeared before the
committee and read len gthy paper on
the advisability of adopting the initia-
tive and referendum as now used on all
questions OF public interest which may
come before the city council; and fur
ther, that the rules OF civil service
should be introduced In the municipal
offices. He was also in favor of central
izing the power OF appointing the heads
of all departments as suggested by Mr..
Harmon of Brooklyn and Mr.. Medill OF
Chicago.
Mr.. Nickell-I am opposed to too
much one-man power. The people select
the city officials and they are responei-
BILE for the character and fitness of the
men whom they select, and aa the peo'
pie constitute the body polite all power
naturally rests with them.
Mr.. Munson-If the people of Brook.
lyn had the same charter that we now
have, it would not have been possible
with their centralized power to have
wiped out nineteen millions OF the peo-
pG's money.
Mr. J. ID. Bailey, OF committee OF the
Knights of Labor, submitted the follow
ing paper:
ave respectfully recommend that the
city charter be amended 80 Rs to include
direct legislation by the people through
the initiative and referendum; that the
salaries of all officials be reduced to COR
respond to the earnings OF the masses of
the people, and that no pay be allowed
them when voluntarily absent from
duty; that all public work shall De done
by the day, under the direction of the
proper officials, and eight hours shall be
a legal days work in each calendar day
of "a hours, and no overtime ehall be
allowed except in cases OF extreme ne
cessity, and none but actual citizens
shall be employed, unskilled labsrerH to
receive not less than 81 per day and me-
chanics the average wages of such me-
chanics."
The above communications we're
placed on file for future consideration.
Article ~. of the old charter was then
read, relating to the powers OF the city
officers, and a memorandum was made
to consider the duties OF the auditor at
future time, particularly with regard
to exporting the books of the different
city officials at stated intervals.
It was decided that the duties Of COL
lecting the licenses be transferred from
the city license collector to the city clerk,
it being designed to abolish the Office of
city tax and license collector.
The committee then adjourned.

KNOWLEDGE

Brings comfort and improvement and
tends to personal enjoyment when
rightly used. The many, who live bet
ter than others and enjoy life more, with
less expenditure, by more promptly
adapting the worlds best products to
the needs of physical being, will attest
the value to health of the pure liquid
laxative principles embraced in the
remedy, Syrup Of Figs.
Its excellence is due to its presenting
in the form most acceptable and pleas
ant to the taste, the refreshing and truly
beneficial properties of a perfect lax
atiYe; effectually cleansing the system
dispelling colds, headaches and feyers
and permanently curing constipation.
1t has given satisfaction to millions and
met with the approval of the medical
profession because it acts on the Kid
neys, Liver and Bowels without weak
ening them and it is perfectly free from
every Objectionable substance.
Syrup of Figs is for sale by all drug
gists in 5Oc and ST bottles, but it is man
ufactured by the California Fig Syrup
Co. only, whose name is printed on every
package, also the name, Syrup of Figs,
and being well informed, you will not
accept any substitute if offered.
