day and Monday, the treasury gained
almost all the gold it had lost during
the past two weeks, the increase since
Saturday being s1.e9, s6s. This sudden
accommodation Of gold attracted con-
sidcrab BILE attention and it was supposed
that it was due to some action on the
part of the bond syndicate. Secretary
Curtis, however, said that this wes not
true, so far as the treasury was advised.
The increase, he said, came almost In
the ordinary course of business and was
due to an exchange OF gold for bills,
probably caused by the settlement Of
accounts in New York The incident
was, he said, not infrequent. The re-
serve today amounted to SlO7, ,sa1,d79

A Homestead Should Protect.

One of the problems for our states
men to solve is the homestead, and,
next to the suffrage question, it will
be the most important that will
come up in the Constitutional con-
vention. In our present condition
the people would be badly crippled
were the homestead exemption to be
wiped out, but in the course OF time
it would be blessing.
If the homestead exemption was
out of the way and all of a mans
property responsible for his debts,
great care and precaution would be
taken to keep out of debt, and there
would be very little display in bor-
rowed plumage. Men who now go
into debt and hope by speculation to
pay will stand off, because that
which he has may be lost to him; but
when he can borrow and obstruct
his creditors with the homestead, he
is not so careful and will take
chances.
The homestead exemption should
be what it is intended fora protec-
tion to the wife and children. AS it
is to-day it is not a protection to
them, but a screen and a license to
swindle.
Under the present law man buys
supplies for the sustenance of his
family and clothing to keep the
wintry winds from their bodies; he
buys the coffin to bury the dead and
medicine to heal the sick; but, when
the time comes to pay, he will not.
He obtained the credit on his honor
and property; the merchant is
forced to sue, and gets judgment;
the sheriff, under his oath of Office
and a severe penalty, must set aside
the homestead the creditor selects
a man, the debtor another, and the
sheriff third these commissioners
are from the community and possibly
in the same boat, and what do they
do? They usually set all of the
debtors property aside as his home
stead, and the creditor gets nothing.
The next day the man who has
just beat his creditors and had his
homestead set aside has no money to
conduct his business and ne goes to
town, hunts up a money-lender, gives
him mortgage of the homestead
which was intended as a protection for
his wife and children, at an eXorbitant
rate of discount (and in some cases
interest besides), and away he goes.
1t is not long before the mortgage is
due. The borrower has spent the
money on his crop and made fair
crop, but the prices of produce do
not bring the cost of the outlay; he
simply can not pay the mortgage.
The result is the mortgage is
foreclosed, and the wife and children
are not protected, as was intended
when the homestead law was made.
If we are to have a homestead
and we believe the present condition
of the people demands it-our law
makers should make the homestead
beyond the reach Of the greedy,
merciless creditor, and when it is set
aside let be Professionalism it
can not be, if the party having it set
aside is allowed to dispose of it; let
it become entailed property, so that
it can not he n,ortoaped. Then. II

There is more catarrh in this section OF
the country than all othef diseases put to-
gether, and until the last few years was
supposed to be incurable For q great
many years doctors pronounced it q loca!
disease, and prescribed local remedies, and
by constantly failing to cure with local
treatment pronounced it incurablc. Science
has proven catarrh to be Il constitutional
disease and therefore requires constitution
al treatment. Halls Catarrh Cure, manu-
factured by F.. j. Cheney L. Co., Toledo,
Ohio, is the only constitutional cure on the
market. It is taken internally in doses
from 10 drops to teaspoonful. 1t acts di.

The School System.

The Constitutional convention,
soon to meet, will have question
before it that is more important to
the people of South Carolina than
all other questions viii be-the free
schools. If there is anything that
needs a radical change it is our free
school system, for, as it is now, it is
a farce.
People are taxed and forced to pay
for the maintenance of the present
system and get scarcely any benefit
from it. The colleges are bountifully
provided for, while the schools at
home get such small pittance that
to close them entirely would not be
felt.
Why should the people be taxed to
support colleges? 1t seems to us that
if a parent is able to spare child
from home to go to college that
parent is sufficiently able to pay

Snmter,S Bad Break.

What is the matter with Sumter
Both factions seem to be badly
muddled and, instead of getting to-
gether-as few patriotic men are
trying to accompiish-they are drift
ing further apart. We have watched
our sister county with considerable
anxiety, and regret to confess that
the present condition in Sumter is
the fault of the men allied with the
Reform faction.
'Tis true, the rules of the Demo
cratic party require a primary, and
that all candidates in the primary
shall file their pledges by a certain
time. This is a technical require
ment, but the main thing, and the
spirit intended, is to have the candi-
dates pledged before the primary
COMES off.
AS we understand the situation,
the Conservatives offered to divide
with the Reformers, which PROPOSE
ton was rejected on account Of ex-
tremists being in control of the Re-
form convention.
Later another meeting was called
by Reformers who were in favor OF
peace, and they, together with the
Conservatives, agreed upon a divi-
sion and, in order to comply with
the rules of the Democratic party,
these gentlemen went to County
Chairman Keels and asked him to
accept their pledges, which he re-
fused to do.
Under the circumstances there was
no other course left open to the COM
promise ticket but an appeal to the
people, which they have made. In
our opinion Chairman Keels did
wrong, and the white voters Of his
county will repudiate his conduct
just as the voters of Georgetown did
Doar in the campaign Of 1892 for
trying to take advantage Of techni-
oali+v to 1efoet his onnonent. The
