party nominations against party nOml-
nations, machine against machine, boss
rule against boss rule. Each party
impelled by that intangible but mighty
force called party spirit, and which
ever Of the parties may succeed, one
thing is sure to follow that the adj.
ministration, however honest and COM
petent, will be on party lines, down to
the smallest office holder.
We may study the history of two of
the most boss ridden States in the
Union, New York and Pennsylvania.
4 y supreme effort was made to break
the machine and dethrone Quay in
Pennsylvania and Plat in New York
by the election of Pattison and Cleve-
land Governors in their respective
States. But did the effort succeed ?
Did not these men keep their hands
on the throttle all this time their par
ties were out of power and are they
not the supreme directors to-day?
In respect 10 your county ticket, |
am informed that there is special effort
being made against your nominees Tor
Clerk and States Attorney. for what
reason cannot conceive. My business
has brought me in contact with these
two gentlemen, in a professional capac-
ity, and take great pleasure in saying
that orgentlemanly demeanor, thorough
competency for the offices now held by
them and efficient discharge OF their
respective duties, they measure up to a
high standard. | do not say this as a
disparagement Of the nominees on the
other tickets. assume they will re.
ceive the support of their respective
parties, but do not see why any Dem
ocrat or any citizen who wishes to rise
above party influence, cannot east a
vote for Francis ii. Purnell and Rob
ley ID. Jones.

Greenville Fertilizer Company.

The advertisement OF the Greenville Fer.
tilizer Company appears In The lNTELLI
aENCER to-day, more in the form Of
statement .>of the kinds and qualities OF
goodB manufactured than as string Of
assertions of the great value Of the goods
The company presents the official analysis
made by the chemist OF Clemson College,
from samples drawn at different places
from goods sold by the company. This
analysis shows that the quality of the goods
ie greatly superior to the guarantee given
This desirable result is obtained by the use
Of the best ingredients in compoundinR
the fertilizers, the company holding TO
the original plan Of having but one stand
ard and that the best.
The sales Of this company are large.
which Is natural, because the prices are
very low and it is the determination OF the
management to give the best goods at rea
sonable coat to the consumer. It ia graft
fioation to the officers of the company to
know that their efforts are appreciated.
Thouuands Of letters have been received
from those who have used the Greenville
fertilizers, and there is but one opinion
expressed and that of commentator.
Probably another reason why the goods
Of this company have such hold, outside
Of their merits, is the fact that the company
deals literally with it's patrons.
Liberal dealing and goods Of the highest
grade will always command public patron
age and the Greenville Fertilizer Company
ask patronage on these grounds

might have an opportunity to examine
it and perhaps become sufficiently in
terested in it to become regular
reader. Is it good paper? Is it not
an advocate of the rightSof the people
as against the bad isppelitics Is there
not a necessity for such u paper and is
it not to the public interest to give it
your support2 A large subscription
list from among the leading and most
conservative citizens of this State,
will give wonderful moral support
that can come in no other way. 1t is
not the subscription fund, though that
is not small consideration, so much
as it is the feeling that the best citizens,
the most patriotic, are giving to the
paper the influence of their support in
its efforts for honest aud good govern
ment. II you are not subscriber,
will you not become one, and also show
the paper to your neighbor and interest
him IN it?
