Reformers should refuse the offer Of

The Conservatives in Sumter County
are already organized, this work having
been accomplished in past years, there
fore the ouly thing for them to do is to
act. Let each club meet promptly and
elect delegates to the Convention to be

IRBY'S 1BLUSTER.

Senator Irby may abuse the Conser-
vatives as much as he pleases, and We
shall think the more Of them. for lrby
is sworn enemy of deceocy. honesty
and Justice 10 matters political. His
record az chairman Of the Executive
Committee, as Senator aud as man,
do not en,i,le him to the respect, not to
meutioo confidence of the State. aud we
should much rather be enlisted IN a
movement that he abused than to be
affiliated with anything whatsoever
that he approved When division of
the delegates to the Constitutional Con-
vention was first proposed aud then
when the division was proposed TO be
carried out by the l'illman- Barnwell-
Hemphill plan he poured ont the v'als
of bis wrath against every man COZ
nec,ed with the plan He has steadily
refused to hear Of peace and unity for
tie welfare of the State. even though
it was an established fact that large
majority Of the people were sick of
strife and enmity and desired peace 10
politics. It was be who whipped Till
man and Evans back into line and
forced them to repudiate their compact.
1t was he who did more than any other
man to defeat the coosummation of the
division plan by exertiog his lnf1uence
10 Laurens and Spartauburg to prevent
a division of delegates. 1t is like the
devil preaching against deceit for lrby
to ran: abou. the Conservatives break
ing faith with the organization, mis-
called the Democratic party, Of which

proof of the tremendous audacity Of the

cially his pig. The other day he found
he would be obliged to be away at the

careful and feed the pig just on the
stroke of IL. This advice was repeated
several times before he started, and as
he drove off his parting admonition
was +" Remember the pig" His bust
ness took him to a neighboring town,
and he had been there but a short
time when a telegram was handed to
him. Fearing the worst, he opened it
and read; Shall / feed the pig on To-
cal or standard time ?" and the mes
sage was collect. Lewiston Journal.

A Washington dispatch says that
Mint Director Preston said that he had
heard intimations that the State treas
urer of Nevada had a large quantity Of
silver dollars Of the coinage Of 1898 on
hand. During that year 677 900 STAN
dard silver dollars we're coined at the
Carson mint. The mint there was
closed on June LIST last. The accounts
Of the mint were settled, the presses
dismantled and he did not think there
could have been any secret coinage.
Why the State Treasurer had so many
as $4,000 new standard silver dollars
in his cash was a matter that con.
cerned the State OF Nevada and not the
United States.

Rev. Charles ii. Parkhurst, ID. D.,
in writing of 1.-The Passion Of Money
making" in December Ladies' Home
Journal says, concerning the prevalent
idea regarding the value Of an educs-
ton to boys: We are considering the
effect which is going to be had upon
the boy by being led to feel that the
value Of his training, whether it be
obtained in a business college or in
any other kind Of a college, is deter
minable by the amount in cash, stocks
and securities in which it may be ex-
pected ultimately to eventuate. That
is an indirect but none the less effec-
tive for being indirect-way Of telling
the boy that money is 20 transcend
emily great a thing that the only value
that anything else car have is its eff
cheney in contributing to that end. 1t
is an indirect way of telling him that
the only value OF an idea, the only
value of mental energy, the only value
Of a disciplined brain, in fact, is its
cash value, which amounts substanti-
ally to listing intelligence and putting
it upon the market in mercantile COM
petition with wheat, leather and rail-
road stock. OF corse there is no such
intention as this on the part Of parents
when they hurry their sons into the
store or banking house or on the Ex-
change. but the effect just stated is
bound to come and is damning in its
consequences"

Sam Davis, whose bump OF humor
is largely developed, has the following
to say in his Carson Appeal concern
ing the Enterprise: The Enterprise is
the fret paper in Nevada to place a
~type-setting machinein use. II seems
odd that the State in the Union where
the rates for composition we're the
highest should be the last to adopt the
machine. 1t is Of the Morganthaler
pattern and the whole paper is set up
by one compositor.
This will be quite a contrast to the
old flush days OF the lode when Joe
Goodman and Dennis Mccarthy ran
the Enterprise. They carried home
their gains every night in buckets.
The gold and silver they took in daily
would generally fill a couple of two
gallon pals, and Joe would pack one
and Dennis the other. They usually
stopped on the line Of march and gave
their friends a night cap" Onthese
occasions they would lift their buckets
Of coin onto the bar, and tell the boss
to treat the crowd and take what
money was necessary.
There we're honest bar-keepers in
those days, and Joe and Dennis would
drop into the next room and talk poll
tics. while they left their buckets of
cash on the bar with instructions to
treat any Of their friends that came in,
leaving word with the bar-keeper to
weed out the silver, as they had to walk
a long way up hill.
II was in those days that the print
ers were getting rs cents a thousand,
and seeing how prosperous the paper
was, struck for 95 cents.
"Oh, make it q dollar" said Joe
Goodman, and Mccarthy agreed, as he
said it was easier to keep the accounts
that way and " made less figuring"
