Tho King Of Anam Broke . Custom aok
Crested . RAnih T.
Not long ago there .wasN terrible ex-
citement ut the royal: court Of Anam.
The king, Thanah- Tai. whowas then II
years old, was missing; Etiquette 10
quires that the Anamese' ling shall
never leave the royal grounds He il q
mighty prisoner. But the young po-
tentate was not hard to find. Though 10
was king, he was boy; and it is nat
ural for boy, when he has some mon
ey in his pocket, to want to ret out and
spend it.
That was exactly what the" king of
Anam had done. Entirely alone hs
had started on shopping" expeditioA
through the streets of Hne OF course
no one knew him because, no had never
shown his face in public. He was sim
ply boy, like any other boy, and this
was exactly what he wanted
But he was treated with great respect
by the shopkeepers, because he seemed
to have plenty Of money. Chriously
enough. the thing which seemed to st-
tract him most was head shearing ma
chine, or hair clipper; and when thu
frightened mobiles of the court discovered
him at last it was with this singular
implement in his possession.
He had already begun an attempt to
experiment with it on the heads Of sew
eral small street boys, who were prov
lug rebellious subjects, when the coar-
tiers approached him; prostrating them
selves upon the ground and making
alarmed outcries.
The king no lougen goes ont shopping.
but he retains his hair clipper as SOU
venir Of a happy day of freedom with
the street boys.-Rittsburg Dispatch.

Some OF the Conservative news
papers are now much pressed for
matter, Judging from their contin-
uous whining about the way Dargan
was treated in Edge6eld when be
went there to advocate political and
social equality between the races.
Surely they must feel this constant
denunciation, is finding very little
sympathy among the white people Of
the State. However, if some of these
editors who are boiling over with
indignation at the treatment Mr..
Dargan received and who have *
will go to Edge6eld and meet with
and talk to those people, like they
are writing about them in their
newspapers, we believe that when
they do come away they will be con-
vinced that it is folly to preach Of
fensive doctrines to unwilling ears.

If the Supreme Court sustains the
recent decisions of our Circuit judges
in the contempt cases the blind-tiger
men will have hard road to travel
in the future. It is to be hoped that
the court of last resort will soon
render q decision which will forever
settle the dispensary law, for, as
long as the question remains un-
settled there will be violations Of tne
law and constant source Of trouble
and expense to the government.
Very few will deny that the dispens-
ary system is a great improvement
over the bar-room system, and we
believe all the annoyances in the way
of enforcing the law will stop as soon
as the matter is heard on its merits,
as the State authorities seem anxious
to have done as speedily as possible.

Let every white man 60 the polls
on July 80 and vote for four men to
the Constitutional convention. Con-
servatiyes, if you are in earnest in
asking for peace, go out and vote.
Reformers, if you mean what you
say about a cessation of strife, turn
out like men and vote for the men OF
your choice without considering
which faction a candidate has been
allied with heretofore. Remem Der,
this is not factional fight, and we
are to have free, open and square
primary among white men, and the
four men receiving a majority OF the
vote cast will be our representatives.
Repudiate any candidate who ap-
peals to factions for votes, for such
a one is unfit to represent US.

There is more catarrh in this section of
the country than al other diseases put to-
gether, and until the last few years was
supposed to be incurable. For a great
many years doctors pronounced it a local
disease, aud prescribed local remedies. and
by constantly failing to cure with local
treatment pronounced itincurable. Science
has proven catarrh to be a constitutional
disease and therefore requires constitution
al treatment. Halls Catarrh Cure, manu-
featured by F. Cheney 4 Co., Toledo,
Ohio, is the only constitutional cure on the
market 1t is taken internally in doses
from 10 drops to a teaspoonful. 1t acts di-

The TINES this week gives its
readers dose Of gold cure in the
shape of literature sent ont by an
organization in behalf of those who
are endeavoring to prove that free
silver is not the proper thing for the
country We will send out this mat
ter for while, and later on We will
send out literature for the other
side. As we have frequently said,
we do not understand the intricate
financial problem, and life is too
short for US to devote our time to
studying it. Both sides of the
financial question should be read by
the people in order that they may
intelligently form an opinion. We
have concluded, therefore, to give
our readers both sides, and leave it
to them to say whether they want the
yellow or white metal as & medium
OF exchange.

The "Aiken plan" so long dis
cussed in the newspapers, no longer
exists. The Democratic committee
of Aiken met last Monday and re-
pudiated Senator Jordan's effort to
stihe the voice of the majority. The
idea of a committee debating to the
people who they must vote for, would
not go down in Aiken, and should
not anywhere else. Those who ex
pected to become bene6ciaries of the
"Aiken plan" and sail into the con-
vention through Jordan will find
their Craft left high and dry, and
reaching out to cast an anchor to the
windward.

The Times as newspaper has no
fayorite candidates for the Constitu-
tional convention therefore, it will
not use its editorial columns to ad-
Yocate any mans cause. OF course,
the editor has his individual choice,
and will exercise that choice at the
primary.
We make this statement because
we have been asked to advocate the
fitness of certain candidates. In
other words, we do not propose to
dictate even by a suggestion who the
people shall vote for.
The Constitutional convention will
be the most important body that has
met since the Democratic party came
into possession of the government,
and every white man, be he rich or
poor, farmer or merchant, lawyer or
doctor, should wake up to the i'm
portance of this matter, and ..send
good, solid men to represent them
men whose past has made record.
A man who has always stood square
up to the Democratic organization
will stand square and true to the in
terest of the white man and is de-
serving of confidence.
Do not let factional differences
have any weight with you in the Sc
lection of candidates.
Go to the polls on the 3Oth OF
July and vote for the four best men.
The county executive committee has
wisely permitted white men to vote

Mr.. Barnard B. Evans, Manager Union
Mutual Life Insurance Co., Columbia,
S. c.:
Dear Sir-I beg to acknowledge the re-
ceipt of your company'S draft in payment
of policy No. 9S.0Gl, being the face of
policy on the life Of my late husband,
John c. Swearingen, for 81 800 less amount
of premium and interest, which was due
the company for the year 1894 making the
exact amount received $2,369.S4
My husband after having made three
annual payments, defaulted on premium
for 1894
The action Of your company in paying
this claim under such conditions, is en-
titled to most honorable recognition; also
for their promptnesS and liberality.
The agreement on the policy allows the
company three months after the filing of
proofs in which to make the payment-yet
though the proofs were not filed until
June s, your draft was received this day
(June 13) covering same.
Such promptneSs certainty should re.
ceive cordial recognition at the hands of
the iusuring public and I take great
pleasure IL commencing the Union alutual

in safe and reliable company.
Yours, very respectfully,

The farmers in the Salem section
have made a fine tobacco crop, and
they are now busy curing the weed.
Tobacco is becoming a great in
dustry in this county, and if our
business men will make the effort
they can keep the money that is now
being taken elsewhere by the plant
ers, who are forced to carry their
produce to other places because we
have no warehouse here. Let some
one take up the matter to build q
warehouse so that we can induce the
trade to come TO its natural ana
proper channel.

WEDNESDAY, JULY II, 1895.
Primary Must BE Held.

The Conservative faction Of Sumter
met last Friday and expressed them
selves in favor of dividing equally
the delegates to the Constitutional
convention.
The difference between the two
factions in that county was consld-
erably less than one hundred in the
lYllman-Shepperd campaign, not
withstandiog the fact that the c., 5.
l. n. R. R. had large number Of
employees living in the city OF Sumter
and who have since moved away.
We believe that with a strict fac
tional fight the Reformers can now
carry Sumter, but to avoid contest
we hope the Reformers will agree to
the division and each side nominate
its men and elect them in the primary
on the 30th.
a primary should be had regard
less of any preliminary agreements,
because the Democratic party has
ordered a primary, and the order
must be obeyed.
1t viii not do to allow a county to
ignore the mandates of the State
Democratic committee, as some are
wanting to do because they have had
public meetings or conventions and
made some sort of az arrangement.
In Marion there was a convention
which adopted conditional resolu-
ton, the condition being that the
ticket nominated in that convention
would be voted for providing all of
the Conservative counties divided the
delegations.
The men who engineered the
scheme and had themselves nom
mated will never get to the conven-
ton if Marion remains in accord
with and in subordination to the
State Democratic Executive Com
mittee, as one OF the nominees on
the ticket had pledged himself to do
IN the "Forty conference"
In that conference every member
of it was bound to act with the
Democratic committee, and that COM
mittee has ordered primary to be
held July 80.
Those who attended the Forty con-
ference and now refuse to participate
in the primary ordered by the Demo
cratic party, will violate their
pledges, and they should not have
a place on the Democratic ticket in
the general election.

The Storm Played Havoc With Tobacco
And Other Crops.
HARTFORD, Conn, July 1G.-Fuller
accounts of the damage done by the
hail storm of Saturday afternoon, show
that in Glastonbury alone 300 acres of
tobacco are ruined. The greatest dam
age was done in that vicinity. 1t was
calculated that the weight of the hail
stones on four-acre field was 6,i tons.
The hail was gathered from section
s by l6 feet and weighed. 1t was found
that the fall was 200 pounds to the
square rod or $4,000 pound to the acre.
The hail fell in streaks. Wherever it
fell in quantities, tobacco was ruined
and grapes, cucumbe-s, tomatoes and
other vine plants were stripped. The
grape crop is badly damaged. Or the
east side of the river the tobacco crop
from north of east Windsor Hill to
South Glastonbury is ruined except a
few acres of small plants recently set

Maine law that gives a person injured II
right to collect the full aiaount or face of

amount of the premium unpaid, and it
should make your company very popular.
Such insurance is really an investment.

forma ton Of the deliberations of the
committee will be given to the public
but it is known the committee was al
most unanimous in favor Of g. conven-

of the committeeman insisted on a vote
and it was carried by to in favor of a
convention.
After great deal of wrangling
among the partisans of the different
cities of the state. it was decided to
hold the convention at Pertle Springs,

One OF the most horrible cases
that has ever been heard in q South
Carolina court is now pending be-
fore Judge Buchanan in Charleston
and was made public by the Colum-
bia Register. The case is one in
which a husband deserts his wife
after having most brutally treated
her and she sues him for alimony.
To justify his conduct the brute OF a
husband int, oduces negro witnesses
to break down the character OF his
wife, who is also the mother of his
five children. One OF the witnesses,
big, burly negro, gives testimony
which, even if true, should hang him
and would do it almost anywhere
outside of Charleston. The husband
defendant is James McAllister, a
livery-stable man, and who is sad to
be assistant chief of the politics in
that city. It is also said that his
chief, Sheriff Ferguson, will soon re-
tire, and that McAllister is already
slated for the place. The News and
Courier has kept remarkably quiet
on this matter; in fact, has had nothing
to say about it. Whether it is afraid
OF McAllister's "pull'' or not we do
not know, but one thing is certain
the News and Courier allowed the
Columbia Register to scoop" in a
great sensation from under its very
nose.
