General Farley.

General Hugh L. Farley, than whom there
was no more gallant soldier in the Lost
Cause" came to town last Monday to consult
with General MCGOWAN as 10 the history
which he is writing and to see the printer
who is preparing the Con federate rolls.
After remaining until today he will leave
at one O'Clock for Greenville.
General Farley's ability as writer, togeth'
or with his knowledge of men and things EN-.
inently qualify him for writing history OF
South Carolina's part in the sublime struggle
for the Southern Confederacy. 1t is right and
proper that General Farley should confer
with the aged actors in the historical events
OF the country, and it is important that he
make a record of the facts SO learned from
the lips of the living. Unless recorded In
little while our history would be nothing but
tradition.

Political Forecast.

While We make no pretense at knowing
anything, yet we believe the Presidential fore'
cast is somew hat as follows:
The Democrats will nominate silver GILL
didate.
The Republicans in Convention VIII noin
nate Nick inley, and the people at tne po'''
next November will elect him Preslueu''
The demand for pewter dollars VIII serve
its purpose in thrusting forward canoIoa'es
who would otherwise have no nope ol eleo-
ton. but the business interest of this county
will not likely be overturned so easily.
Ifthe Democratic party dissolves ana goes
into an organization whose only aim is the
denreciation OF our money aud the distur-
bance of all values its days are numbered.
Tn connection with this we are reminded OF
tho remark once made by prominent law
yer of the Abbeville Bar, namely: He"neyer
knew a candidate for the Legislature who ran
on ON ,sspe TO be of much force in shaping
Legislation"
Ifan tissue candidate" is generally of little
force. what are we to expect Of a political par
ty which is organized on the same plan?
Autbe great reforms that have been brought
about In this country have been effected by
great political pditiSo, AoS's
cratic and the Republican parties.
The other little political organizations have
been of such little Importance that even their
names cannot now be remembered.
The demand for pewter dollars will never
bring the deprecated currency.
We have no doubt Of the inefficicncy OF the
Democratic party to govern the country, and
the ills from which we now suffer will be rem
edied in relegating the Democratic party to
the rear. The policy of reducing the tariff
below figure which will raise the revenue
to meet the appropriations, and the system OF
paying silver certificates in gold is. enough to
ruin any country. With sound financial
policy and sufficiency OF sound money this
country will resume its prosperity.
The outrage from which this country is suf-
fering is the payment Of silver certificates In
gold. The need of more bonds arises from the
lack of revenue to meet the current demands
upon the government.
The pewter dollars will win at the prelimi-
nary contest in nominating candidate for
President. but the candidate who will be
elected will win in November.

WOOD FRAMES DEAD.
Ode TO Kerr's AII.SteeI Spring.

Dear BUYER, list to what we say,
Nor tare your patient ear away,
Hear we'll (and profit while you may)
Our simple song OF all-Steel springs,
whcreOn to lay.
Our al-stee beds are known so well
There's little new for us 10 Tell. Ill
While others '.stick," these always sell,
And hence we chant of wood frame HPrlHse
the sad death-knell.
This cleanest, llghtest, strongest spring,
Az brilliant black as ravens wing,
sweet balmy sleep to eyelids bring,
And thus the death OF wood frame sprlnss
we loudly sing.
The wearied one, with o'er-wrought oraln-
The sick and suffering, wrecked WIN palu-
will seek for springs like these, In vain.
These chant the death Of wood frame springs
in loudest strain.
No bloody-minded Insect dread
Can flourish on this perfect bed,
Not even ONE from foot to head.
This fact alone should class the wood-irames
with the dead.
Conclusion (au Naturel)
Who seeks for calm and sweet respose,
In slumber deep, or quiet doze.
BUYS all-steel springs, and only those
or kerr's make-wood-fram are uead,
the whole world knows.

CLIFTON BROOKS.
Death of q Good Citizen.

Clifton Brooks was born in July and fel! l!
asleep in Jesus May 9Th, 1876; he had Deen III
for months, and his suffering was intense,
still never one impatient word escaped him.
An afectionate son, n kind loving orolher,
genial favorite. Just budding into manhood,
the voice of God called him home. He leaves
O mother, two sisters, and brother, besides
host of relatives and friends TO mourn his
loss. May the Almighty arm sustain them
and the word of God comfort them, FOR hath
he not said "When thou passeth through the
waters l will be with thee ; and through tile
fire thou shalt not be burned"
Jesus, while our hearts are bleedlug
O'er the spoils that death has won,
We would, at this solemn meeting
Calmly suy, "Thy will be DONE"
Though cast down, we're not forsaken;
Though atii cted, not alone:
Thou didst give, and thou hast taken;
Blessed Lord, "Thy will be DONE"
BY thy hands the boon was given;
Thou hast taken but thine own:
Lord of earth. and God OF heaven,
Evermore, "Thy will be doue.' ,

SPAIN NOT in
A FIGHTING MOOD
DcniaIs from Madrid Of Alleged Signs 0f
q Conflict.
WAR REGARDED AS MOST REMOTE
The Facts us to Spain's Proposed
Note to the Powers. ithhcld ut
Our Minister'S Wish..NO Oh,ensc
Was Intended to the United states
Government.

Madrid Nov. l2.-With reference TO
the DISPATCHES from Washington re-
ferring to the possibility of trouble be-
tween the United States and Spain, 1t
is semi officially denied that the Span
ish premier Senor CanOvaS del Castil-
10. has communicated with the powers
in the sense indicated. that of seek
ing support against the United States.
1t is explained that the story is prob
ably "a rehash of the report circulated
in August last when Spain prepared Il
memorandum on Cuban relations with
America. suggesting that the powers
assist Spain in bringing amicable pres
sure to bear on the United States. But,
on the advice of the ambassadors of
the powers. the Spanish minister for
foreign affairs consulted with the
United States minister before sending
the memorandum. and the latter had
no hesitation in saying that the dis
patch of such a note directly after Pres
ident Cleveland's proclamation calling
for observance of the neutrality laws
would be calculated to seriously affect
relations between Spain and the United
States.
The Spanish minister for foreign af-
fairs thereupon assured Minister Tay
lor that the memorandum would be
withheld, also stating that no offense
was intended to President Cleveland or
to the government of the United States,
and that Spain had only desired to
sound the powers with the view of
contingencies which might arise out of
the presidential election.
1t is now added that the possibility
of war between the United States and
Spain is regarded as being most re-
mote, and it is pointed out that so
far as desiring to force trouble with
the United States, Spain remained per-
fectly neutral during the presidential
election.

Importance Of SaIisbury's Admis.
sion Recognized by the English
Misrepresentation Wheeier's

London. Nov 12.-An official of the
Foreign Office said to-day that it was
not likely King Oscar of Sweden and
Norway would be chosen to sit with the
four Venezuelan arbitration jurists. ap-
parently intimating that he would he
represented by fifth jurist to be nom
mated by himself.
In regard to the report published here
this morning that the cief justices of
the United States and Great Britain
would not select natives of the United
States, to act as arbitrators, it is said
that this report is untrue. and 1t is
added that the chief justices will have
rohing to do in the matter.
The St. James's Gazette. this after
noon. publishes leading article head
ed, AN Historic Moment" during the
course of which it says:
Lord Salisbury's great admission of
the principle that the United States
have the right to intervene in frontier
disputes of the American powers and
to compel the disputants to arbitrate.
altogether transcends in importance the
question Of the Guiana boundary. 1t
is formal recognition of the hegemony
of the United States on the American
continent and gives the president a
position in the new world which the
medieval popes and emperors tried
vainly to claim in Europe"
q. F. Wheeler. the eminent barrister
and chief clerk of the privy council. in
an interview on the subject of probable
composition of the Venezuelan arbitra-
ton tribunal. as far as Great Britain is
concerned, informed representative
of the United Associated Presses to-day
that it was an unusual thing for judges
to sit on arbitration tribunals.
1t was more than likely. he thought,
that eminent International jurists. such
as Sir w. r. Anson. Warden of All
Souls College, oxford, and Lord Davey.
Lord of Appeal in Ordinary, would be
appointed. though the latter would pos
sibly refuse to serve.
