All this soic;tude for the Demo
cratic party that is now being in
dulged in by Senator Irby, is nothing
but the beating of gongs to keep his
courage up. He is candidate for
reelection, and he stands a first class
chance of being defeated, therefore,
he must catch at something to stir the
people. The name of Democracy is
cherished in South Carolina and the
people would not drop it unless
forced to do so; but while the people
love the Democracy, they love Demo
cratic principles more than the name,
and if the organization now called
Democratic allows itself to be con-
troled by Republicans masquerad-
ing in Democratic garments there will
be a division. The two elem ents will
not live in peace in the same temple,
and nc man knows this better than
Senator Irby himself. Did not the
Senator when he believed himself
safe from opposition give expression
to utterances more emphatic than the
go-prepared-to-bolt-letter of Senator
Tillman?

SELOC SIFTINGS.

Seloc, April 12.-The farmers over
here have finished planting corn and
are now getting ready to transplant
their tobacco.
We now have eighty-6ve tobacco
barns in Douglass township and there
will be four hundred and twenty-five
acres planted in this township alone.
The cotton acreage will not exceed
seventy-6ve acres, when formerly one
man would plant that much.
Mr.. J. E. Tomlinson is now build
ing a pack house for his tobacco. Mr..
r. ". Green, another of our success
ful growers, has one already.
The artisan wells over here fur
nish good, healthy water, and there
are plenty of them.
The Douglass farmers are going to
make plenty of hog and hominy and
when the candidates begin to infest
us we will prepare to give them more

Under The new constitution, in or
der to have the right to vote, man
must be registered again. All of the
old registration certificates are done
away with and new ones in accord
ance with the new order of things
must be secured. It therefore be-
comes the duty of every reader Of a
newspaper to acqusint his neighbor
who does not read the papers of this
very important matter and we sim
cerely hope that our readers will take
some interest in the matter and see
to it that every white man is informed.
The negroes are interesting them
selves and we are told that their
teachers and preachers have been
instructed to prepare them for the
necessary legal requirements to OBJ
tain registration certificates. The
constitutional convention made it
possible for "white supremacy" to
last forever, but the convention could
not do it all, the white people them
selves must do something towards
the scheme; that something is to turn
out and become registered and at the
elections vote.

The State Democratic executive
committee did the proper thing, when
il declined to usurp the au-
thority of the May convention.
They had nothing what
ever to do with the differences exist
ing between Senator Irby and Sens
tor Tillman, and by not recognizing
either one OF these distinguished
gentlemen, they showed to the people
q higher appreciation of the trust re-
posed in them than they would have
shown had they allowed themselves
to be swerved by either. The May
convention will meet and It will then
say what the people want; should
either T,llman or Irby become dis
satisfied they can get out of the way
and others will be found who are
ready to take up the peoples cause.
The day for leaders running things
to suit themselves has become ancient
history; the people are in the saddle
and they propose to stay there.
When the convention assemblies,
delegates will be sent to Chicago to
give voice to what the majority feel
in South Carolina, and We believe a
delegation will be selected who can
80 without being tied and shackled
with instructions.

FAC-SIMILE POINTERS.

Packsville, April 7.-Easter ser.
vices last Sunday at this place was
largely attended. We were all de.
lighted to see that the beautiful pro.
gram which had been arranged was
so nicely carried out. The music
was good indeed. The recitations
dialogues and singing by the little
folks, we think, were excellent; also
an address by Rev. c. NJ. Billings
was greatly enjoyed.
Mr.. J. L. knight left this place on
last Monday for Darlington. MIR.
Knight has been for the last few
years employed by this railroad as
section master, and most always
made Packsville his headquarters.
We regret his leaving very much, and
hope him every happiness and pros
perity.
MIR. J. NJ. Bradham, our clever lit
tie postmaster, left last Monday for
Charleston, where be will attend
United States Court this week.
We have had two very pleasant lit
tie sociables in our neighborhood
during the past week, which were
largely enjoyed by all who attended.
While We don't object to sociables,
we would rather have them change
into picnics, and we think it is about
time they should begin as the writer's
grocery lien has about expired and
be needs some help of that kind to
brace him over this long, hard sum-
mer until cotton picking time.
Packsville is still on boom. The
new Methodist church is about COM
pleted; the school is rapidly increas-
ing; our merchants are stirring in an
industrious mode, while the echo
from the blacksmith's hammer and
the settings OF dust from the distant
plow fields proves that oar little
town and surrounding neigtborhood
are in a prospering condition.

III. HOW SHALL READ
think it would be wise for US to
read with two.fold purpose in view.
l. We want to read so as to gather
food for ourselves or personal needs,
spiritual, moral and intellectual.
2. We want to read so as to fill our
own minds with the great thoughts
of great men so that we may be able
to impart to others the knowledge
that we have received. We would
not like to be like the sponge, all the
time receiving, but rather like the
fountain, giving out. TO do this, we
must be sure to read with care and
think over what we read. Many
read in careless, thoaghtless way
and all they learn is soon forgotten.
Let US read ever with q purpose not
simply to pass the time, but to re-
ceive something that will help me in
life's great battle, or help me to help
some one else.
David said' Psalms 1875, 81 will
mediate il thy precepts, and have
respect unto thy ways" Like David,
we must think about what we read if
would be benefited.

noble, patriotic, and hberty-loving people
of South Carolina, to raise the land OF
warning and place those who seem !nto1i-
Gated with power. upon positive notice that
if they ruthlessly and by the aid of Repub-
lican votes, override our wishes in this,
the most important of oil the questions Of
public policy, for one will not follow their
lead another step"
Now the Senator without giving
any reason would have the people of
this State tied hand and foot with in
structions to the national convention,
and although he gave positive notice
that he would not follow the lead OF
men who are overriding the wishes
of the people, he faces about at this
time,and tells them they must pledge
themselves to swallow anything the
national convention chooses to give
them. Senator Irby's doctrine may
be good, but it comes from him with
considerable Inconsistency. If when
he felt safe in his position he could
not follow the lead of the over-riders,
how can he do so now?
The Senator has s great many
warm friends throughout the State
and be merits them for his excellent
management of our political affairs
but the people have amply repaid
him for his services, and his present
gymnastics in our opinion is nothing
but a little side-show to draw the
votes of the conservative faction tt
him. He believing that on account
the bitterness of the past the conser
vative faction would support any.
body to side-track Tillman, but the
faction he is now courting remember
Eby's connection with past bitterness!
and they accredit him with a ful
share of the responsibility of it.
Senator Irby cannot by his abuse
of Tillman tickle the conservative
ear sufficiently to win their votes mol

hurrah-for-Democracy tactics, and i

not show better record as a repre-
sentative than he has been credited
with in the Congressional Record hi'

Senator Tillman is now making 9
tour of the West. This trip is by
invitation from a large number Of
people who are anxious to be relieved
from their present political moorings
and the whole country is now watch
ing and waiting to see the effect. The
politicians have so beclouded the
financial problem, that the masses are
at sea and all that they know is that
there is something radically wrong
somewhere. Senator Tillman and
men of his way of thinking believe
the remedy lays with national legis'
lation; they believe the government
is responsible for the ills endured,
and they also believe the present
leaders in both of the old parties are
tarred with the same stick and that
they are in league with the moneyed
interests against, and to the detri-
ment of the masses. There has been
great deal said about South Caro-
lina's Senator looking for a light in
the West and the result of his tour
will be eagerly watched. Whether
Tillman will turn up the light sufici-
emily to give q blaze bright enough
to illuminate theSwhole of the United
States remains to be seen, but there
is one thing certain, he will agitate
his views and plant in the
hesrts and minds of the
Western people such sentiment that
those holding contrary views will be
put to their trumps to stop the silver
wave that is now gathering through
out the entire West and South.
The people feel a depression grow
ing more heavily every day, and the
prospect for relief does not seem to
loom up. The Republican party was
held responsible for the depression,
the people drove them from power
and gave the entire management of
affairs into the hand of the Demo-
cratic party, but the relief looked for
did not materialize. Now both of
the old parties are blamed and a
spirit of unrest exists everywhere;
what the outcome of the present con-
ditions will be cannot be foreseen.
Senator Tillnan thinks the relief can
be obtained by coalition with the
,.o5,,oore of fho Woet Who oonoor RI
be padding along the political stream
with the producers of the South; each
section seeking q haven Of prosperity.
The question with those of the West,
is whether or not to break from their
party ties and put new leaders for
ward, and the South is hesitsting
whether to tear loose from the party
of their fathers and join hands with
those of the West who have the same
interests and objects at stake.

KINGSTREEsITEMS.

A1uSSLAcS, ApiA OIu. 4O-ooJ
Monday, has been lively one il
Kingstree. The public sales and the
meeting OF Camp Presley brought
in large crowd. The candidates
we're out in full force and presented
their claims to the dear people. Moth
ing occurred to mar the good feel
ings that pervailed.
The meeting of Camp Presley was
we'll attended by the old veterans OF
the "lost cause" The meeting was
held in the court house and presided
over by Commander Gordon. DR..
Finn, OF the South Carolina college,
was present and delivered an address
to the delight of all present
The sheriff sold two tracts OF land
under foreclosure, which were bid off
by the mortgage. The clerk Of
court also sold one tract CT 829 acres
under the order of the court, which
was bid off for $4,000 by one Taylor.
Mr.. r. II. Hudson an aged and
highly respected citizen, who resided
over Black River about eleven miles
out from Kingstree, died yesterday,
9TH inst, and was buried this after
noon in the Presbyterian cemetery at
this place. He was tuneralized by
DR.. Finn, of Columbia.
AIr. Thomas Parlor, young man
who lived at Lanes, this county, died
Saturday, 4th inst, and was buried
at Scranton last evening. Mr. Parlor
was accidently shot through the head
about two weeks ago, by one Robt-
Davis. Davis and Parlor were warm
friends and no blame whatever is at
tached to Davis.
Miss Bessie, the beautiful and ac-
complished daughter of Capt. John A.
Kelley, is home from the Columbia
Female college visiting her parents.
Miss Bessie graduated at this college
last year, but is pursuing postgrad-
uate course there now.
Miss Retta Withers, of Camden, is
visiting the family of Hon. Thos. NJ.
Gilland. Miss Withers was an as
sistant teacher in the Kingstree Col
legiate Institute last year, and during
her sojourn here made many warm
and admiring friends.
DR.. Finn delivered an address on
female education in the Methodist
church here Sunday evening. The
address was fine effort, and calcu-
lated to stimulate thought and activity
in the great and important matter Of
educating the daughters of our peo-
pie. DR.. Finn called particular at
tention to the great work of the Co.
lumbia Female college along this
line.
Messrs. Lesesne & Epps are surely
quartered in the retreats of bachel-
orhood. We are inclined to think,
however, that this is only temp orary
resort.
The Florence District Conference
will convene here on the 30th inst.
Miss Bessie Welch left here Sunday
to 60 to Black Mingo, where she has
accepted school.
DR.. Darby has returned from Tim
monsville where he has been assist

A few months ago the conservative
newspapers could not say enough mean
things about Senator 1rby, but now
since he has expressed opposition to
Iyllman's ideas, they are soldering
all over MIN with kind expressions.
This may all be good politics, but it
strikes US as being rather late to un-
dertake to resusitate man after the
rattles has set in. We do not know
who will succeed Irby, but it does
not need much foresight to see that
he will not succeed himself.

DOTS FROM FORESTON.

Foreston, April Son account o
being pressed for time, l haven
been able to send you the news from
Foreston for the past three weeks
and will only give your readers few
dots this week.
Our town seems to be getting on
boom, Several new families moved
in lately.
Our newly elected town authori.
ties organized to-day and passed
several Important ordinances in ref,
erence to the health of our town.
understand that they elected, OF
rather appointed, a board of health
which was organized with Maj. Land
S. Y. Barnes, and DR.. L. ". Nettles
as members. The council seems tc
be having d good deal of business to,
day, having cooped several birds on
Sunday that didn't belong to the
town for creating a disturbance in
the town. Had them brought into
court and receive their just dues
Some of them paid up and Others
will work theirs out on the streets
I hope yet to see our little town
grow to be much larger.
Sunday dawned bright and most
propitious day for this happy Easter
tide. This occasion was participated
in by both the aged and youths ol
our live little town of Foreston. The
exercises on Children's Day was al
the Methodist church. The music
rendered by our choir, composed oi
three denominations, was certainly
very good. The organist, Miss
Barnes, did her part admirably. a
solo by Mr.. Jno. Wilson, as volun-
tary, was fine. All the choir deserve
much praise.
The best feature of this ideal Sab
bath was the recitations by little
girls. All did excellent, but the best
was by Miss Cora Sprott, who is only
nine years old, rendered in
a modest and graceful
style. There are many others
who deserve much commendation for
the exercises.
The "moticn song of praise" sung
by nearly all the Sunday-school
scholars of the junior class, was con-
sidered the best of the exercises.
The marching and singing by these
little ones was most excellent.
The church was crowded with a
pleased audience. The floral decora-
tions were very pretty and tastily ar
ranged. Some rare exotics from
Mrs. W. I. Sprott's hot house added
much to the beauty.
These exercises were under the su-
pervision of the able superintendent,
Mr.. R. R. Hudgins. Like all he un-
dertakes, it was quite success. All
would have done credit to much
larger place.
There is q neat boarding house
here now kept by Messrs. Maurice &
Boyd, which will be good news for
the travelling "angels," I should have
said agents.
Last week our town was visited by
Mr.. Yates with his phonograph,
which was enjoyed by many.
