WHAT DOES IT MEAN?

ST. LOUIS, Nov. g. 3.-Every four mill in this city has closed down for an indefinite period. The reason given by the millers is that the market is glatted with flour and suffering from overproduction. A differ ent view of the situation is taken by local dealers, who point to the fact that the mills are suddenly closed at time when the question of cheaper bread is being vigor- ously sgitated by the newspapers. So much fraud in the sales of bread has been discovered in the city that the council is considernga a measure to compel dealers to sell bread by weight.

ANY one bat simpleton and John
T. Duncan knows that The Herald
ann News has not and does not give
encouragement or endorsement to Re
publicans or to their registering ne
groes to vote against white people.
When he undertook to make political
capital out of little local that ap-
peared in The Herald and News he
was getting hard up for something
with which to arouse the boys, but it
didn't stir much. And when he says
or insinuates that The Herald aud
News is giving encouragement or sym
pathy to Republicans he simply says
or insiuuates what is untrue, and the
editor of The Herald and News has
already told him So We must believe
that be knew be was misrepresent-

put that construction on the local 10
question. Such construction required

THE ELECTION YESTERDAY.

The herald and News had the re"
turns about all in from the primary
yesterday by eleven O'Clock last night
and our extra was out. So far as We
have heard everything passed of quiet
~ and pleasantly. There were two or
three little fights at Newberry but
they did not amount to much and no
one was seriously hurt.
The result is not just as We would
have had it if it had been left to us,
bat The Herald and News accepts the
situation and will stand by the nomi'
nations.
The ring kept the boys in line for
the legislative ticket, but when 1t came
to county offices there was q general
scattering, and every one seems to have
voted as he pleased.
The vote is smaller than it was two
years ago. For delegates to the State
convention and for Congress not many
more than half of the voters voted.
The Herald and News hopes there
will be no effort to so into the general
election. We can see no good that it
will do, and it will only intensity the
situation. All things come 70 him
who waits.

DARLINGTON, August 2.-The oppo-

Withdrawn their names from the pri-
mary election and proposes not to be
bound by the primary, but to 60 to the
November election. This step was
taken at meeting of the "Reformers"
held last Saturday. This meeting was
held for the purpose of allowing candi-
dates 70 declare themselves. These
men have refused to abide by the nomi-
nation of the ringsters of the Reform"
party. This bold and outspoken action
means a great deal, as it IS taken by
representative farmers who are among
the best men in our county.

The following is 'copy of the letter
filed. The public can judge what it all
means. The pertiuence Of the with
drawal is to be found in the last sent
ence but one in Senator Buffers letter.
Does it mean that he will appeal to the
general election?

WHAT DOES 1T MEAN?
Especial to News and Courier.

Especial to News and Courier
COLUMBIA, s. c., August 2S.-
With view at getting at the real
significance of the telegram and with
drawal of the letter, and with the idea
of the doing no one any wrong, I asked
Capt. John G. Capers for his view of
the telegram. A copy of the telegram
was shown to Capt. Capers, who is
familiar with the details of Gen.
Buffers campaign, and be said:
''The telegram must speak for itself.
Certain it is, however, that it places
Gen. Butler entirely independent Of the
action of the primary OF the 18th. You
will know great deal before ten days
elapse, and you can rest assured that
Senator Butler is still most active
factor in State and national politics."
AS Capt CapeTs says, it is, perhaps,
best to let the telegram '.sreaa for
ITSELF Some have even suggested that
it might he construed to mean that
Senator Butler has Withdrawn from
the race. That is altogether too far
fetched. 1t is ss simprobable as it is un-
reasonable. Those who ale on the
inside know that Gen. Butler or his
friends have no idea of giving up the
fight, but on the other hand are conf
dent of success.
It is understood that Legislative
candidates will be nominated in Nc
vember who will support Butler. 1t is
further said that zen. Butler, If de-
feated by Governor Tillman, will make
a contest before the United States
Senate, contendipg that the registra-
ton laws of the State are illegal, and
that if full vote could have been
polled Butler legislators would have
been elected.
Senator Butler, in a telegram to the
Columbia Register, says: II beg to say,
in withdrawing the paper filed by me
with Tompkins, secretary Democratic
executive committee, announcing my
candidacy, am following the footsteps
of distinguished Reformers, who are
unwilling to submit their claims to a
primary where everything, from coro-
ner up has been cut, dried, packed and
salted down by the ring; when the re-
salt is stated and known by the ring
before vote has been put to the ballot
box"
Several counties have already taken
action and nominated candidates op-
posed to Tillman, and there is likely to
be bitter political fghtin the Staten
consequence Of Senator Buffers actions.
PERFORMERS" FEEL QUALMY.
The nearer the primary election comes
the less the interest in that affair. It's
one sidedness has made it an excessively
tame and un-exciting event. The Re
formers will have for once in their politi-
cal lives had a primary, no matter
what it will amount to, pretty much
their own way. In a majority of the
counties there will be no opposition
whatever to the dominant element
They will be allowed to 60 through the
formula with an electoral ticket, county
and Legislative candidates, without
any interference. There are many Re
formers who think that this is almost
too good thing to last and are fearful
that their real opposition will come
later on. Of that DO one is in a position
to speak with any degree of authority.
It looks something like it from the
action taken in Fairfeld and the symp.
toms in other counties.

BUTLER wIrHDRAWs his PLEDGE.

BUTLER WITHDEAWS HIS PLEDGE.
The political situation in this State
at this time seems to be all chaos and
confusion. No one seems to know who
is who or what is what. The primary
is Just over, but as the Reformers had
held a preliminary affair and fixed
everything up cut and dried, a great
many people took 10 interest IN the
election yesterday.
Really there was no use for the Con-
servatives to take any hand IN 1t as
they had been ruled out, the very OBJ
iect of the Reform convention being to
keep their vote from having any infiu-
ence on the result Of the primary yes
terday.
IN some counties there was no iegls-
lasive ticket out in the primary at all,
and many of them already say they
intend to make the fight at the general
election in November. The provoca-
ton has been great. The whole pur-
pose of the ring inside the ranks Of the
Reformers seems to have been to lg-
more and run roughshod over the Con-
servatives; and such Reformers as
were not on the inside of the ring
to do anything and everything
that would keep the white peo-
pie divided and drive away every
vestige of peace and unity. The Her
aid and News has used its influence to
keep the white people together. We
have tried to reason with the men of all
factions to be fair and just and to
remember that they were dealing
with white men who could not and
would not bear everything. We still
hope that an amicable adjustment may
be made. We are not willing to see
the white people further divided. The
great question is, whether it is better
to bear the ills we have than to flee to
others we know not of.
Many developments and changes
may take place, and that shortly. We
cannot advise or encourage al appeal
to the general election. We doubt the
wisdom OF it, and very seriously Nues-
ton whether it would help matters
But as the Reformers are the ones who
are in revolt, we shall await develop
ments. Things political will take
shape very soon.
AS to Gen. Buffers letter it looks
very much as he desired to be free
for the general election but as matter
of fact he does not come before the
primary any way and there was no
need for him ever to have submitted
pledge after the executive committee
refused to allow a separate box for
Senator. The Legislature elects q Sena-
tor and the people have nothing to do
with it after they elect the members Of
the Legislature and neither Senator
Butler DOR Gov. Tillman have anything
to do with the primary.
The Conservatives, as q rule, have
RETAINED from voting for delegates to
the State convention, and there was no
need of it unless they desired to con-
firm what the ring had done. In New
berry, for instance, the executive COM
mittee had all the tickets printed with
Evans delegates printed on them as if
they hcd already been agreed upon as
the delegates to represent the entire
county in the State convention.
The whole thing just now is badly
mixed, and there is no telling what
day may bring forth.
