Each to His own Trade.

President Hayes had for one of his
Ohio neighbors testy old fellow who
kept a small truck farm. During Mr..
Hayes's four years in the White House,
on one of his visits home he passed this
old mans farm, and found him planting
potatoes. The president, being some
what of a farmer himself, noticed some
eccentricity in his neighbor's style OF
planting, and, after a little chat, called
attention to it. The old man defended
his method, and finally Mr.. Hayes said,
as he started along: well, don't
think you will get the best kind OF a
crop if you plant in that manner"
The farmer rested on his elbows on
the fence. "They amt neither one OF
us above havin' fault found with us,
he said; "but if you just go on pres1-
dentin' the United States your way, an
I go on plantin' pertaters my way, !

Proof from the Enemy.

The Augusta Chronicle says some OF
its esteemed southern contemporaries
are Ginning in with northern goldoug
papers about "the silver craze being
dead" If they really think so their
dream will suffer rude awakening.
Certainly Mark Hanna is not of their
opinion, for he has ordered a new
campaign to begin forthwith, and is
about to establish headquarters at
Washington. We were willing to give
the matter rest, but we can scarcely
pick up an exchange from the north
that does not contain assaults upon
the free coinage party, ana already
the Republicans are splitting over the
single gold standard and information
al bimetallism. But perhaps the most
significant proof of the vital charac-
ter of the silver question comes from
Senator Burrows, of Michigan, who,
in recent interview, uses these mem
orable words: "The Republican party
comes back to power, burdened with
great responsibility. 1t promised the
people that its restoration would be
attended with individual and nation
al prosperity. If these results should
not follow, it will speedily fall into
disfavor and at the earliest opportuni-
ty be deposed. The people will be sat
isfed with nothing short of general
revival of business and safe and
sound condition of the public treasury.
If these conditions are not attained
without much delay the cause of free
silver will receive fresh impetus, and
in 1900 become an alarming if not a
resistless force. A sound currency.
with closed mills and idle workmen
will not meet the public demand:
There must be restoration of good
times and if not attained under sound
money there is darger that the people
will resort to any method, however
questionable, which gives promise Of
relief. Something must be done. and
that something is such legislation as
will insure a full treasury and a pros
porous people. This accomplished, we
have heard the last Of the silver ques-
ton. Without it the contest OF 1895
was but skirmish compared with the
battle to come in 1900"

Pay Your Taxes.

The time for the payment Of State
and county taxes without the assessed
penalty, expires on the 3lst Of Decem-
Der. 1t would be we'll for the taxpay-
ers of this county to bear the above
announcement in mind. Probably
many citiZens are not aware that the
failure to pay the taxes practically
means disfranchisement, for at all
subsequent elections the presentation
of the tax receipt will be one Of the
main qualifications for voting. The
penalty for failure to meet this obliga-
lion is the forced sale Of the deiln-
quents property by the sheriff. There
is no possible chance for an extension
OF time, for it can be done by a legls'
lative enactment only, and as the leg
islature does not meet again until next
January, just about one month re-
mains for the tardy payers to remit
the required amount and procure their
receipt. In regard to the voting phase
of the matter, it might be said that the
department possesses no duplication
blanks for those who have already
paid their trxes, therefore, it would be
4 good idea for every citizen to pre-
serve his receipt. The Treasurer in
the falfllment of his duties can exer-
else no Discrimination whatever and
the delinquents must abide bJ the
consequences.

Got Rid of Eutted Roads.

The following timely and sensible
remarks are taken from the Southern
Cultivator, and we reprint them as
supporting the position long held by
The Times and Democrat. a rough,
rutted road is an impediment to trans
portation and destructive to vehicles
and patience. Itseems paradoxical to
construct good roads and proceed at
once to cut them up into ruts and
holes by the use of narrow tires.
Broad tires, in drawing loads through
fields and on farm roads, sink less
deeply into the soft earth and employ
less draught to move them than do
narrow tires. The narrow tire has a
slight advantage over wide tires on
rough, rutted roads. Should wide
tires be used, however, there will be
no rutted roads. Their broad surfac-
es perform the work of rollers in
keeping smooth and compact road
way free from ruts. They distribute
toe wear over the surface Of the road.
The difference between broad and mar
row tires may be summed up thus:
Wide tires do the work OF FOUNDER
and consolidate; narrow tires do the
work of pick and tear up. While
the times demand the construction Of
improved public highways, the inter
ests of the taxpayer imperatively de-
mand that the work shall be preserv'
ed and made permanent. The Use Of
broad tires enures to the interest Of
the farmer, and should be adopted
without DELAY.

InquIsition Revived.

SAN Francisco, Nov. 25.-News
from Manila, brought by the steamer
City of fPekin from Hong Kong, shows
that the Spaniards have res0rsed to
tortue of natives and half casts OF the
Philippines which surpass in cruelty
that practiced by the Chinese man
drains in cases OF the most atrccious
crimes. They are also charged with
conGscating the estates OF wealthy
half casts and deporting these wretch
ed victims to Fernandopo, on the
West coast of Africa, place which
has climate that will quickly prove
fatal to the stranger. These state.
ments are not given on the strength
of reports OF refugees. James w.
Davidson, a well known correspond
ent, was recently commissioned by the
Hong Kong Press to go to Manila
and cautioned to evade the press cen
sorship, and in several letters which
he smuggle3 through the lines he tells
of what ne has seen and what he has
heard on good authority. According
to him, the instruments Of torture
used in the Spanish iniquisltion three
centuries ago have been kept in the
monasteries of Manila and were
brought out recently to extort confes-
sions from natives and mestizo sus-
poets, who have been arrested and
kept in Jail in Manila subjected to
hideous treatment. Mr.. Davidson al
so intimates that the leading powers
of Christendom will be called upon to
interfere and putan end to the torlures,
which revive the worst features Of the
Spanish inquistion.

HornbloWer Has Id Gag.

New York, Nov. 25.-The 18th
anniversary of the evacuation OF New
York by the British was celebrated By
the New York State Society, Sons OF
the Revolution, at Delmonico's to-
night. The principal speaker was W.
B. Hornblower, who responded to the
toast, American Common Sense.s
He said in part: What of the future
Suggestions are made that old party
lines must be abandoned and that ali
men who are in favor of sound cur
rency and of honest enforcement OF
public and private obligations and OF
the maintenance of law and order
should combine in one party against
the elements of discomfort and disor,
der and dishonesty. Such a result
would be most unfortunate. If the
day snail ever come when all sober
minded men are on one side and all
extremists and revolutionists on the
otter side, lined up in rCrty align
nlents, the knell of republican institu
tions will have sounded. Our form
OF government cannot continue unless
there are two great parties who are di-
vided upon questions on which men
ofsound judgment and honest princi-
pies can fairly differ. believe that
party lines will be reformed, based
upon the same general lines Of diVis.
ion that have heretofore separated the
two great parties, and l believe that
thus ard thus only, can our instltu-
tions be preserved"

The Death Penalty

BARCELONA, Nov. 24.-The attor.
ney general, who is personally con-
ducting the prosecution of the prison
ers who are under arrest for connect
ing with the throwing of bomb in a
crowded street while religious pro-
cesssion was passing on June 7, last,
has announced that he will ask the
court that % Of the prisoners be SEN
fenced to death and IS condemned to
penal servitude for life. Great pre-
cautions will be taken against disor-
der when the sentences are published.
The court will sit in the vault Of the
fortress of Mont Juich and only mill
tary officers will be admitted to its
proceedings. The crime for which the
prisoners are to answer to military
court, was one of the most fendish Of
the many similar outrages committed
by anarchists within the last few years.

An Impending Conflict.

One of the really great works on
the economic topics OF the day is that
of Charles =. Sparks, OF Brooklyn,
entitled AN Essay on the Present
Distribution OF Wealth in the United
States." published by Thomas Y. Gro
well Il Co., in their library Of econo-
mics series. The Springfield Republi
can reviews it elahorately and says:
There is here presented problem
which the people OF wealth and influ.
ence must face whether they will or
no. 1t cannot be laughed down or
beaten down. We have only just seen
the first lifting of the standard of re-
volt against the present social order
call to its support over 5000, 900 OF the
5000, 600 voters of the nation. That
vast power was not concentrated by
any whim of the moment, but deep
seated sense of wrong and injustice
in the control and direction OF INDUS
try. And as surely as there exists
good ground for complaint, so surely
will this movement grow up to a day
of change-and whether change shall
come gradually or radically or violent
ly will depend, as all history shows,
upon whether the problem is earnestly
aud conscientiouly faced by the in
fuential classes early or late or not at
all -

4 Most Horrible Crime.

SUMTER, Nov. 2S.-A most horrible
killing took place on Wednesday
night on DR.. Hamilton Cooper's place
near Wisaccy. Two colored girls,
aged respectively 13 and II years,
named Rosa Joe and Anna isaac,
were in a house by themselves. Anna
says she was awakened by rapping
on the side OF the house. She got up
and made light and saw some one in
the room. She ran into an adjoining
house and told her mother, who went
with her to investigate. They were
Mortified to find the girl. Rosa, weller
ing in blood, her head having been
cut nearly in half. Only one blow
had been struck, and that with keen
axe, which was lying by the body Of
the girl. The surrounding premises
were diligently searched, but no one
could be found upon winch the crime
could be laid. As Anna l,..4c was the
last person seen with the dead girl and
as there was no motive for the murder
she was brought to Sumter and pit in
jail until some further light ccU be
thrown on the crime.

AConyepleu. Invention.

An Orangeburg farmer comes to the
front with a new invention in the
shape of Lubricator for oiling We
hicle wheels without taking them Off
the axle. 1t is inserted in the hub
between two of the spokes. When
you want to grease your wheel all you
have to do is to Withdraw plunger,
which operates with spring, and put
as much oil as is needed on the axle.
Upon being released the spring closes
up the oil hole until it is opened for
oiling up again. 1t is very ingeni-
Gus and clever device. and is bound to
be used generally. With these lubri-
Gators vehicle can be oiled up any
where along the road in less than one
minute. The patent for this valuable
invention is owned by the National
Lubricator Company of Orangeburg,

Wheeling is manufacturing city, q

election that Mckinley meant pros
perity. They believed what was told
them and gave their ballots for good
times" n. B. Scott is a member OF
the national Republican committee for
the state OF West Virginia and is also
president of the Central Glass COM
pany, of Wheeling. He knows how
efficiently the manufacturers aided
McKinley's election and he also knows
why they desired his election. n. B.
Scott did not betray any political
secrets to his emploes beyond assuring
them that prosperity would follow
Mckinley's elevation to the presl-
dency. He is now more confidential
with his men and tells them that the
Central Glass company cannot manu-
facture and compete with "non-unlon
plants" His object in taking his men
into his confidence since the election
is to notify them that their wages will
be cut 20 per cent. The men voted for
this quality of prosperity, but when
offered them it is not accepted with
the same relish and yell they greeted
McKinley's ard the gold standards s

Barber: An important question has
seen brought to my attention in re
gard to our election for the formation
OF Greenwood county on which We
wish your construction. There are
qualified voters residing within the
proposed area of the new county whose
coting precincts are without said lines.
IAN the Commissioners of Election
order polls open outside Of the line, or
uan they send the books of such pre-
cincts to the nearest inside the line, or
sill the Supervisor have power TO
transfer each individual voter to 4
polling place inside The line? Please
give me your decision in duplicate SO

or of Election in both Edgefeld and
Abbeville, and ] will be much obliged
10 you if you will send the decision
rs soon as possible. Yours truly,
w. L. DURST,
Chairman Of Committee.
As the Attorney General is not per-
mitted to render opinions for private
parties, the conclusion arrived at was
directed to the Secretary OF State and
by him mailed to Mr.. Durst. 1t fol-
lows:
The letter of Mr.. W. L. burst re-
ferred to me has had careful consider
alton. When qualified voters reside
within the proposed area of new
county, and their voting places are
without said lines, they must vote a!
some polling place within the lines.
The commissioners cannot order an
election at voting place without the
area Registrations OF such electors
must be furnished managers Of elec.
ton at a voting place within the area
and such electors will be entitled to
vote if their names appear on the
books. 1t would be advisable for the
registration books containing names
of voters who vote outside OF the area
to be sent to the managers of the vot
ing place nearest the territory in
which the electors reside.

There is an increase of $50, 344 or

though defeated, the Democracy even
in Kentucky is much stronger IN point
OF numbers than it was four years
ago. The only states where there was
a decrease in the Democratic vote are
Alabama, Georgia, Louisiana and
Virginia. In all these states. save
Virginia, the loss was due TO the fact
that there had been an exciting state
election Immediately before the ma

people of politics, produces a reaction
and cuts down the vote. In Georgia
the unfortunate nomination OF Wat

the vote, but no one would venture to

not far stronger than it has been for
many years. Here and there the old
struggle between the Democrats and
Populists was kept up; but with the
possible exception of North Carolina
the result of the election was to bring
back many Populists into the ranks of
