Electric Bitters.

Electric Bitters is a medicine suite
for any season: but perhaps more gen
orally needed in the Spring, when th|
languid exhausted feeling prevail
when the liver is torpid and sluggisl
and the need of tonic and alteratiVjj
is felt. A prompt use of this medicinj
has often averted long and perhap
fatal bilious fevers. No medicine vii
act more surely in counteractlng ami
freeing the system from the malariS
poison. Headache, Indigestion, Con
stipation, Dizziness yield to Electro
Bitters. Only fifty cents per bottle q

DEAR SIR:-The Globeman purports
to haye a communication from DR..
Quarry, who he says is secretary of the
state board Of medical examiners,
which is not so, stating that failed to
pass examination.
DR.. Wheeler, who is secretary and
who conducted the examination, told
me he thought I had typhoid fever the
morning of the examination. I re-
quested to be allowed to write the next
two days, which ] could not do. I was
totally unable to write and consec-
quently did not pass, nor did I tell any
one that did pass. Neither does it
make any difference as far :as my
practice is concerned. 1t wlll not
Gnterfere with me in in.anyway.

The Primary in the State last Tuos-
day was generally a very tame affair.
In most OF the counties, 1t was to a
great extent ignored by both Refor-
mers and Conservatives. In many
counties, this n among them, the
number and variety of candidates were
SO limited and there was such q s'me
too way OF discussing the great ques-
tions involved, that the voter even IL
he felt that the matter was one legiti-
mately within the ranged a party pri-
mary, felt also that, whether by design
or by chance, the whole thing was fixed
for him and there was nothing left him
on which to exercise O choice. AS
matters stood In this county, the voter
If disposed to go into the primary, had
no more chance to express his choice
than II the primary had already been
had and he was voting for the nominees
at the general election. Whether it
was owing to over nice rules, or to the
deft management OF politicians or to
what not, the fact was the voter was
confronted on the day of election with
three injunctions urged in the name Of
party fealty: L. You must vote at the
primary OR dire will be the conse-
quence. q. You must vote for four men
no less. 3. You must vote for four
certain men-none others. Where
could the voters privilege-the right
OF election-come in? Is there any
wonder that 100 of the 200 white vot-
ers ignored the whole thing? The thus
made nominees in our county will go
to the convention with the tremendous
responsibilities of the crisis resting
heavily on them-whether conscious of
1t or not.
The composition of the Convention
will likely be nearly three-fourths Re-
formers and something over one-fourth
Conservatives. S.

LAURENs, s. G.. Aug. 9, 1896.

The abstract proposition that the
majority must rule is not @ democratic
doctrine; it is the reverse of what de-
mocracy holds in this and all other
lands. In this country, the rule of the
people by the people is the democratic
doctrine. The founde g of the RepuL-
lie understood this theory and pro-
vided for its enforcement in practice.
When the present government was es-
t%ablished, territorial divisions as exist
Ing In colonial times were adhered to.
A Federal constitution was adopted and
provisions made for State constitution.
AS a rule they have worked harmonious
ly and are now, after q c%entury's test
In q fair way to secure the happiness
OF the governed. But the absurdity of
a majority governing is every where
apparentin these constitutions. Checks
and balances bristle all through these
instruments. The President is clothed
with a veto power, and SO the Cover
nors OF nearly every State, to check
the madness OF the majority. A consti-
tuition in the very first instance, is en-
acted, to regulate and limit and bal
ance legislation. A legislature fresh
from the people is held fast by it's linn
itations. Otherwise, the madness, the
passion, the apparent interest of the
hour and the time, and the very whims
of a party in power, might override all
right, all sound theories of Govern
ment and thereby destroy and endan-
ger the bitterness of the people,
Without these restraints upon the pas
sions of men, civilization itself is al
ways In danger. The right of property
could not exist O day, order could not
be conserved, society would be over
whelmed by mob law without powerful
restraints checking its lunacy. The
majority have rights, the minority the
man, the citizen. AT the conclusion OF
the war, w~ithout-the restraints OF the
American Constitution and stout, wise
and brave men, true to its limitations,
looking to the future and the happiness
OF the people to come after them, the
southern people would boon utterly
annihilated and every little Of their
property c~onfiscated. Upon policies
rather than principles the people of
this State for four years have been di-
vided.
sore than all have they been divided
by their passions.
With reference to the constitutional
convention, soon to be held, the har-
monising propositions, so well known
we're made. The opportunity is posi-
bly, now lost. Aconstitution should be
made that will satisfy the intelligent
conscience of the whole state. Grounds
for higgling should be avoided.
1t is amusing that people reared in
democratic schools, claiming to be
democrats, proud of the history of de-
mocracy, heirs to it's faith through
five generations, should now ring the
changes perpetually upon the radical
doctrine Of "the rule of the Majority
The Yankees have from time immemo-
rial urged this theory and the South
by bitterly contesting has conserved
what little of genuine liberty is founded
in this country.

LIZ MlSSlSSlppl CONSTITUTION pro-
vides as one of the qualifications of the
franchise that the citizen must have
paid on or before the first day Of Feb
ruary Of the year in which ne shall Of
fer 10 vote, all taxes which may have
been legally required of him, and
which he has had an opportunity of
paying according to law for the two
preceding years."
A uniform poll-tax OF two dollars q
year is imposed for common schools
purposes. This may be increased, in
any county desiring IL, to not exceed
ing $500. This tax is a lien only upon
taxable property and no criminal pro-
ceeding is allowed to enforce it's col
lection. The effect OF these provisions
upon the great mass of the colored vot-
ers Is at once conjectured; and the cX
perience in the State of Mississippi
confirms the conjecture. Reliable in
formation comes from that State that
it is this part of the mississippi PLAN
that constitutes the bulwark against
the great horde of negro voters in that
State and that renders unnecessary re-
sort to the very doubtful expedient Of
having election managers or supervis-
ors of registration arbitrarily pass up
on the mental capacity of the voter
In the one instance the citizen through
choice or negligence ~disqualifies him
self; In the other he is disqualified by
the action of another influenced it
may he by monetary passion, partizan
zeal, or sheer ignorance in the official
himself. In the one case it is fair, le-
gal and free from any suspicion of COR
ruption; In the other, it is at least capa-
BILE OF being used as a means Of oppres-
sion; and the temptation to so use it in
the ups and downs of partizan politics
is great. May 1t not be well to consider
whether or not this part OF the Mis-
sissippi Plan" can be made effective
here wen without the increase OF the
poll tax, by eliminating the criminal
proceeding by which q citizen Is hunted
down for this tax and by leaving it OPP
tional with him to pay and vote
or not to pay and not to vote. But even
IL 1t were necessary to increase
the poll tax to two dollars, is
not white supremacy worth that much,
when secured by entirely fair and le-
gal means? Especially as the tax
goes to the Common Schools. AT
any rate, II we are bound to adopt any
part of the mississippi Plan," it were
we'll to suppress no part of it, but CON
slider 1t as a whole, accepting so much
Of 1t as promises effectiveness consist
emit with honesty, and rejecting all
that has in 1t the possibility of oppres-
sion and corruption. s.
