IF the county remains Democratic
some heroic measures must DO takS
en-" These were the words of Geo.
Streby in the Dushore Gazette, pub
lished in his issue of Nov. 7th. 1t
would appear that some OF his Dem
ocIatic friends have taken exceptions
TO this article and last week the
Gazette contained an article purport
ing that all is harmony in the DEM
ocratic ranks and that u large nuns
Der of ofDomocrats had been interview
ed and all was quiet and hopeful
on the Potomac.
Now, the truth of the matter is,
SStreby was right, he says: cit Is
very evident that there Is something
wrong somewhere. What are the
causes OF our defeat ? What can be
lone to stem the tide which has set
in against the Democratic party in
Sullivan county,"
The article in the Goz tie LASS week
would like to have covered up the
words of Mr.. Streby, but that is i'm
possible, they were too forcible and
true to be cast aside. The people
Of Sullivan, like Mr.. Streby, are sat
sfied that our county will give a
Republican majority in 1896. The
farmers and laboring people are sat-
isfied that Democratic ruling is dis
astrous to their business, and why
should they support the party, know
ing this fact

MED hell because he thought it lm>
possible. He also thought it impos-
sible for kentucky TO go republican.

The judicial contest court has now
virtually completed it's work so far
as the contest for the judgship is
concerned. In the district there
were l9l votes cast for Dnnham res
iected, aad 313 cast for Sittser re-
jected, in addition to which the Ist
Ward in this borough, giving Sittser
II majority, was thrown out because
the polling place was changed with
out m order of court. This gives
Durham majority in the district OF
III. On December 10Th the court
will convene to file its report and
fix the matter Of costs, which will
complete its work. Should the cost
be placed on the counties, the county
commissioners will probably be
forced to levy special tax for their
payment, and each taxpayer will
know just how much he has to pay
in the matter.-Tunkhannock Rep.

Wiunsboro Neus and Herald: "Sena-
tor Tillman can't be any more than the
same Tillman who began to stir up strife
as far back as 1SsO-1s9O. We had never
expected him to rise to a very high plane,
but when he first began to talk about the
Tillman- Barnwell- Hemphill, etc., con-
ference, and dilated In such patriotic and
statesmanIke veins, we begun then to
think that perhaps after all we had un-
;derestimated and to some extent mis-
Judged the man, but after his speech in
his native County the other day we are
compelled to believe that peace and unity
in South Carolina can never come from
B. r. Tillman. The truth is that the
people themselves must make peace, II
there Is to be any. We believe they
want an end to strife and bitterness,
which is doing so much harm, and it is
time they were letting the politicians
know that the people are stronger than
they. When this is done, then you will
find Tillman and all other politicians on
the side Of the people. When will the
people show their powers? When will
they rise in their might and show the
politicians that they are independent
sovereigns, free and absolutely indepen-
dent of politicians, free to do their own
thinking, free to vote as they please, free
to vote for whom and for what they
please7 They can do it, and some day
they will. This state Of things will be-
come unbearable, and the sooner it does
the better, for then the people will take
charge and run it to suit themselves"

A New Melon In the Town.

There is an entirely new brand of
watermelon In the market, and the heart
of the wholesale dealer is glad in conse-
quence. The aggregate of loss from mel
ons broken in handling has amounted to
considerable sum every season, anu the
dealers have been praying for the evolu-
ton of bullet-proof, tron.clad variety
that can stand some handling without
falling to pieces.
At last such kind has been produced
by iudicious blending Of two we'll
known varieties-the "nigger-head" and
the "gem." The result has been remar-
kable. A watermelon has been grown
with tough exterior. It can be thrown
around like cannon ball without much
material injury. It is darker than the
usual, and is more dubious. 1t is sweet
to the palate, and fragrant.to the smell.
It is grown in Florida, but next season 1t
will be raised in all the big melon pro-
ducing States.
One of this kind Of melons was shown
Yesterday to reporter for the New York
Times by William M. Hines, of the firm
of Hines & Mansfield, Washington and
Chambers streets. Mr.. Hines has been
handling watermelons for several decades
and is a recognized authority on the
question of melons. Mr.. Hines trundled
one alOnS VIII nlS 1oot anu tnen, as all
evidence Of it's durability. proceeded to
cut it in half with the aid of a big saw.
The interior of the melon was as hard
and crisp as brick Of Neopolitan ice
cream. Mr.. Hines talked of 1t as follows !:
"We have amalgamated an old.time
"nigger-head" with "gem," and there
Is no question that it is gcing to be the
leading melon. We are undecided as yet
what to call it. One ofthe chief advan-
tages of this melon, from our point OF
view, is that it will carry better than
other varieties. The "nigge1- head" is ten
der in the rind, SO that If you pile it in
bulk it cracks. This is black seed mel
on, and we firmly believe that it will take
supremacy over all other watermelons.
At present it is being grown in Florida,
but next year 1t will be raised throughout
Georgia, North Carolina and Maryland" )"

Carried to GreenvlIIe Jail.

CHARLESTON, s.. c., July 4.-The COM
plication growing out of the dispensary
law are multiplying. To.day udge Buch-
anan, Of the State Court, sentenced +. j..
Bowen, Of Charle leston, to the penitentiary
on the charge of contempt Of Court and
without q Jury trial. Bowen had been
arrested for violating the dispensary law,
and had been served with an injunction
prohibiting him from selling liquor, until
his case had been tried Afidavits wore
submitted, to the Judge alleging that
Bower had sold liquor after the iniunc.
tion had been served, and without being
heard the sentence was imposed. On the
other hand Judge Simonton, of the United
States Circuit Court, has just signed an
order directing the removal Of all Federal
prisoners from the jail at Anderson. On
June 20, r. NJ. Wright, dispensary
constable, was sentenced to jail for con-
tempt Of Court in disobeying its ipjuno-
ding the dispensary constables from
seizing liquor imported by citizens of
this State for private purposes. Wright
was sent to the jail in Anderson County
last week. Judge Silnonton received
several letters from responsible parties
in Anderson which sisted that the con-
stable was only nominally in jail, for
owing to the Kindness of the jailor he
was frequently given the freedom of the
town. In brief he was taking life easy,
as the saying goes.
Judge Simonton requested United
States Marshal John P. Hunter to inves-
tigate the matter. He Immediately dis.
patched Marshal p. Moore to, look into
the case, and after careful investigation
OF several days he returned to the city
and reported to the Judge that he had
been correctly informed Of the liberty
which Wright was enjoying. Judge
Simonton issued an order which will be
served tomorrow removing Wright from
Gaines, care to that of Gilreath, the keep
er of the Greenville County jail. It IS
also understood that for the 1nfraction OF
the Courts orders all tho United States
prisoners in the Anderson Jail will be
taken to other jails.-specialt to GTeenvslle
