from the lordly newspaper directories, threat
ening 10 put q "k' opposite our name as in
dicative OF the circulation Of the Press and
Banner, II we do not do as they demand.
AS we are perfectly indifferent as to whether
they give truthful or untruthful reports of us,
they can pat us down at zero, II they prefer
to do SO. Newspapers that rely on patent
medicine advertisements may feel warranted
in sending in their "statements." and ten dol
lars for sixty words Of an advertisement in a
paper that has done more TO ruin the foreign
advertising business than anything else, but
we will neither send $40 or swear TO an Item
lied STATEMENT" The circulation OF this
newspaper Is no secret. and everybody may
learn exactly what II Is by simply asking.
But those gentlemen who ask for the infor-
nation. and then expect us to run off In
search OF an officer, before whom 10 make
oath TO the same, will be disappointed,
though we have no idea they will lose any
sleep on that account.
The business men Of the country will soon
learn IL the directory is truthful, which we
believe IL is not. This opinion is based on a
report which a travelling man said was given
of our paper In q directory, and which is forti-
fled by the threat on their own part to lower
our rating, if we do not do as they demand.

In each mans soul there lives dream
Lit by a wOman's eyes,
Whose glance is like the tender gleam
That thrills the evening skies.
IL Is d dream that never iaints
Though veal or woe bealis,
But haunts the heart, and softly paints
\ picture on It's walls.
1t is my dream ut midnight,
And IN The crowded mart.
That darling face
With gentle grace
The picture In my heart.
In each mans heart there floats q voice
That speaks TO him alone,
The voice Of her. his spirits choice,
lie longs TO call his own.
The days may hasten like the wind,
Or lag with sullen feet,
Some day his wandering heart shall ma
The face he longs to meet.
# is my dream al midnight,
It's dear eyes neer depart.
Oh, where Is she.
My bride TO be
The picture in my heart:
oh, some hearts range the wide world through
And through TO find their mate.
And some amid the darkness rue
That they have met too late;
A wistful glance betrays to each
What neither dares TO sign;
A welded bond 1orbids the speech
That's uttered by the eye.
1t is my dream at midnight.
II makes my pulses start,
Oh, Fate, be kind
And let me find
The picture in my heart!

The Negroes and the Convention.

The negroes of South Carolina are greatly
excited over the registration of voters, and
seem to be greatly scared about the safety OF
their political rights.
The Conservatives who contemplate run.
ming for the State Convention. we believe
have been encouraged to think that they will
get the solid negro vote.
The negroes seem to think that the Reform
ers may deprive them of their political rights
and for this reason are appealing to the Con-
servatives who in fact deprived them Of every
right OF which they are not now possessed.
The Conservatives enacted the registration
law. and under that law nearly all the negroes
of this county have forfeited their right 10
vote because Of their failure TO register. That
law was passed in 1882. The Reformers came
into ROVER in 1890. Since lSo) If any negro
has lost his right to vote 1t is likely his own
fault.
The fact is, we do not believe that any white
man, be be Conservative or Retormer, desires
to see this State turned over to the negroes.
