cess. They had said to him that, while
they were "Reformers," they had come
to distrust Evans honesty. He had fail
ed to meet the charges against him. He
had lodged and been dumb. They be-
lieved there was something rascally that
he was hiding and they didn't propose to
send man like that to the United States
Senate.
We have similar stories from various
counties, away off in the backwoods. The
people are doing their own thinking this
year, and they are thinking to good ef-
feet. In the second primary the REFORM
ers" cannot be rallied to the support OF
this candidate, whose brazenness in pre-
sentipg himself for Calhoun's great chair
with dirty hands and suspicious pockets
is an insult to the people Of South Caroll-
ma. They will take care that All honest man

Congratulations.

In the common cause of decency and in
the further behalf of official honesty and
manliness, we offer to the many thous-
snds of" "Reformers'' who voted against
the election of John Gary Evans to the
United States Senate our most hearty
CONGRATULATIONS. They have shown
that to them at least the name "Re-
former" signifies something higher than
training with the majority and securing
offices.
A local organ affects to fear that "Con
serYatives' will claim the defeat of Ev-
ans as their victory and as a presage Of
power two years hence. We shall VEN
ture to say that any man who may make
such claim is fool. The former fac
tional lines have been broken and cannot
be re-established. The issue in this cam
paign was not between "Reformsrs" and
conservatives" but between honesty
and dishonesty. Without heavy vote
by the Performers" for Earle and Dun
can, the opposition to Evans would have
been utterly resultless. Indeed, the Gre
formers" did better than the former "Con-
seryatives" in rebuking Evans, .or those
who were against him voted against him,
while thousands of conservatives" sat
in sloth and hopelessness and gave up the
fight.
No, it is not conservative" victory,
and it means no resumption or old align
ments. The cities and towns cast as
rule hardly two-thirds OF their normal
vote; some of them-like Columbia and
Charleston-hardly half oft. While the
returns from the cities came in it looked
as if the vote OF the State would not ex-
ceed s., 900, but when the back districts
were heard from they increased the esti-
mate by over 10000 votes. AuC. of these
votes, cast mainly by 'Reformers," Ev-
ans hardly received half. The Reform
ers'' did it, and we freely accord them the
credit.
It is no secret why they did it. They
doubted the honesty of this slated candi
date. They recognized his lack Of ability.
They realized that he could not be
credible representative Of this State in
the United States Senate. They did not
propose to support tainted candidate
hecause he had got clutch on the coat
tails of a bigger man and expected TO he
hauled into a position many sizes too
large for him and ten times too high for
him.
They didn'tyote for Evans because they
couldn't trust him; because by his course
he had forfeited all confidence in his per-
sonal integrity. Take an incident IN EY-
ans own county to illustrate this feeling:
A high officer of the dispensary COIL
stabulary had spent two weeks in Aiken
county before the election, working for
his chief while drawing the States money
for services not rendered. He had spent
election day at factory precinct and
came into Aiken that night worn out and
disheartened. He told how the factory
operatives had streamed to the polls with
their ballots in their pockets, already
prepared, and how he had labored with
them to vote for Evans, even if only from
"county PRIDE" He told Of biz non-Huo.

He walked rapidly away, II May
stood as If entranced, watching his re
treating form; till Rose, laying hel
hand gently on her shoulder, aroused
her from her meditations.
May little knew how long it would DC
before she would again see her haifd
some lover, nor under what clrculn'
stances their next meeting would take
place.
what does 1t all mean, May asked
Rose, eagerly. II more than once was
minded to interrupt you-for you re
member what father said?' !.
.'Oh, Rose, Rose, | am so happy.
and then, as il to contradict her words,
the tears flowed rapidly from hel
bright eyes.
After a while, when she had suffi,
GENTLY recovered her composure, May,
first binding her cousin to secrecy, told
her all that had taken place.
Rose listened eargerly, for sine was
always keenly alive to Il love story
and the confidence in this instance re-
posed in her was gratifying to her
vanity; still, despite the romance, the
objections which Sir Harold Hartrey
would certainly raise, were not CLOSED
over by either of the girls, though, per

informed OF what he would call a mes

He was proud to a degree-proud Of

riches, and, above all. his son His
son. whom he had destined 10 be the
husband of a marquis daughter, and
who had contracted an engagement
with a peasant girl, with a maltster for
a father, and a retired tradesman for
an uncle.
With heightened color, and renewed
elasticity OF step, May returned To the
house, more joyful and happy than she
had been since the day when David
Deacon so rudely dashed away her
happiness by the announcement of
ErneSt's engagement with the rich and
beautiful daughter of a peer Of the
realm.
And thus it ia that youth takes ii hue
from surrounding objects, dancing
when others pipe, mourning when
others weep. May was happy in the
present, and looked hopefully to the
fUtCrc, never thinking that the cause
of joy one day is but too often a source
OF misery the next.
Cheerfully she returned to her uncle's
house-gleefully she entered it. Now
life was to her all couleur de rose, for
she loved, and was beloved.
Goethe makes one of his heroines ex-
claim, II have tasted all the happiness
earth can give; | have lived and loved"
So felt May Rivers, as she laid her
head upon her pillow that night.
