WE PROpHESIED CORRECTLY.

It is a source OF real qualification
to US to be able to recall what John
Gary Evans said in his speech at
Manning: "Appelt has said that /
won't get one hundred votes in Clar-
endon, I say Applet does not carry
the votes of Clarendon in his breeches
pocket" In the first place, Governor
Evans misquoted US and we told him
so after the meeting. What we did
say was the combination "Irby and
Evans together would not get one
hundred votes IN Clarendon" We
said it because We knew the people
to be capable If Judging and appre.
ciating true merit; we knew that all
Of the misrepresentation OF McLaur-
ms record could not swerve our peo-
pie and we further knew that this
people were heartily disgusted with
the persistent attempts on the part OF
politicians to keep up constant irri-
tation. The people of Clarendon by
large majority, allied themselves
with the Reform faction, because they
knew there was a fostering sore upon
the body polite of the State, then,
the leaders of the Reform faction
represented certain principles which
the people wanted enacted into law
The main principles and objects Of
the Reform faction have been accom-
plished and there is no need now tc
keep pounding the opposition simply
to Get Office.

THE DAWNING OF POLITICAL PEACE.

The great political battle has been
fought and won. The people have IN
loud acclaim endorsed Governor Ell
lerbe's appointment of John L. Nc
Laurin as United States Senator.
There was great meaning in the
result Of the contest; it sealed the
political doom of professional poilti-
clans, it smashed the fetters of fac
.tionalism and it proved the people
can be trusted.
The election of John McLaurin is
the keystone N the bridge of recon
ciliation; the white men of South
Carolina are now in solid array, ready
to fight fer common cause and no
man can divide them by appealing to
passion and faction. Hereafter men
will be selected for public place, not
for their intensiveness, but foc their
qualifications and merit; the re-
suit will be, that our politics will be
cleaner and purer, and that it will be
an honor worth achieving to be Sc
lected by the people to be commits
stoned with public trust
There are still some who would
like to blow up the embers of faction
al division, but they won't succeed,
for the people have put their seal OF
condemnation upon it
Now let us all, not with lip SER
vice, but with sincere hearts, stand
together. Let there be sentiment
that he who appeals to passion and
arouses strife, is dangerous and must
be put down.
Let US all put aside our prejudices,
give credit where it is deserving, hold
up the bands of our public servants,
encourage them to full discharge OF
their duty. When Congress as
sembles the people Of South Caroline
can feel that in Senator McLa.:ln,
they have representative who was
elected, not as Conservative, not as
as Reformer, but as q Democrat who
had been tried and found faithful tc
his trust. He is not the representa-
tive ola facticn, but he is the repre-
sentative e;the people of South Caro-.
~2;na and we feel sure that his record
will not be blotted, but that it will be
as clear as a MONDAY sun, and tha
his name will be written high upol
the tower of fame as true, broad
minded and fearless tribune.

Governor Ellerbe has given notice
to remove all of the State Constables
from the cities and towns. He has
come to the conclusion to rely upon
the municipal authorities to enforce
the Dispensary law and thus save to
the people the enormous expense OF
keeping up the constabulary. Nheth-
er the towns will carry out the wishes
of the Governor remains to be seen,
AID it also remains to be seen if the
Governors action is founded in wis
dom. We realize the fact that under
the hampered condition Of affairs the
Constables are practically helpless to
enforce the law and their mainten-
ance is q heavy drain upon the tax
PAYERS. Governor Ellerbe is acting
for what he believes the best liter
ests of the people and We hope the
towns and cities will give him a
hearty cooperation. There is one
thing certain, the removal OF
the Constables will carry with
it the allaying to a very
great extent, the irritation and strife
that has been existing ever since the
constabulary came on, and very many
who opposed the law on account of
the Constables will now put aside
their opposition and lend their irtlu-
ence toward enforcing the law.

The time has come and the recent
election shows it, that factions are no
longer a controlling power; that to
single out man in a crowd VITO is
activelv supporting an opponent, and
appeal to prejudice by saying that
man "does CARY the vote OF Claren-
DON in his breeches poke" is a poll
tician's trick the people Ignore. When
Evans made the remark that we dc
not "carry the vote of Clarendon IN
onr breeches pocket" he knew full
we'll neither by word nor act have we
ever tried to create such an impres
sion and what he said was a frult!es:
effort to drive votes away from Me
Laurin by arousing prejudice
against us. He failed.
It is delightful pleasure to inform
Governor Evans that our estimate o
Clarendon was correct and we cal
further say that had a full vote beer
polled McLaurin would not have los
one hundred votes in the County
and we take this opportunity t
thank the good people OF Clarendon
for the handsome endorsement the,
cave The TINES in both Senatorial
and Congressional contest; having
received such hearty endorsement
we feel that it would be impertinen
on opr part were we now to attemp
to use anv influence for or asalns
either candidate in the second con
| test.

Allow ne small space in your valuable
paper to speak word IN behalf OF our

for Congress to De voted for on the 14th
inst. At the election on the 3lSt of August
our County voted for good man: Hon. Nlr.
Ellerbe, bnt be is now ont of the race, and
we must look for another. IN examining
tl,e vote in tie district, we find that Gene
raj Na,ton received 7lS votes in Marion
County his home, the largest vote poIed
for either of the candidates in the race; at
his own polling place (Mullins) he received
234 out OF 2SS votes. in Horny County, near
his home. he received a majority of al! the
votes cast. Thus We see at home he stands
well.
Now, my purpose is to call upon the boys
TO turn out on tie 14th and vote for our
man: a man OF the people; p successful and
experienced man who has never failed ID
anv political effort IN the last ten years.
His past experience in the Comptroller

The defeat of John Gary Evans
and John, L. NJ. Irby is followed with
the silliest display OF soreness We have
ever heard of. Both of them are act
ing like children BY making srimases
at those who could not be induced to
support them. Irby wants to whip
somebody and Evans swears that I'LL
man shan't play in his yard any more.
Poor Iillman is damned If he
does, and he is damued # lie don't,
but we will wager a muscovey drake
and a game cock that when Tillman
returns from the North, where ne is
speaking in behalf OF true Democ-
racy, the "rattlesnake notice" will not
have to be given, for Irby's outburst
against Tillman sounds very much
like he is seeing snakes now.

WE ARE HANDS OFF.

Our choice for Congress, hon. j..
E. Ellerbe, failed to receive a sutlel-
ent number Of votes to put him IN
the second race, nevertheless, he has
every reason to feel proud of the vote
he did receive. Had Clarendon
polled her usual vote, Mr.. Ellerbe
would have, without a doubt, been IN
the second race with Mr.. johnson,
but as it now stands the second con-
test will be between johnson and
Norton.
Our readers have had an opportun-
ity to Judge of both of these candl-
dates, therefore, we will not through
these columns indicate which of the
| two is our personal choice; but as
we regard it the duty OF every citizen
to vote we will on the day OF election
go to the polls and cast our indlv'd-
usl vote for one of the two. Friends
of both of the candidates have called
upon US to solicit our support, and
our reply has been "we are hands OF.
We have determined on this course
and we intend to faithfully carry 1t
out.
We regret exceedingly the neces-
sity for second race, for the reason
the people are heartily tired OF SO
much politics and so many elections;
at this season of the year the farmers
are busy harvesting their crops and
preparing them for market,and under
the circumstances we look for very
light vote all over the district. Re
membsr the contestants in the second
primary are General James Norton
and Solicitor J. NJ. johnson, both are
asking the sufrages OF the people
and Of the two all that we will say IS,
vote for the man OF your choice.

Col John T. N Ichv IN an inter

Col. John L. NJ. Icby n an inter
view says there will be trouble when
he and Tillman meet In our opinion
this threat OF the feather-legged
statesman will be disappointing to
those who expect to hear of a person
al collision between the two. 4 man
who means to do personal violence IS
not likely to post a notice OF his IN
tentiops, and man of Irbys compo-
sition will hardly do what his words
imply. Irby complains OF Ililman
going into his section Of the State to
make speeches and to interfere IN the
Senatorial contest after protesting tc
be shands off. We have beer
watching TilIman's movements in TIN:
State since the campaign opened anc
we have vet to see where there is an!
foundation lor Irby's claim. If Till
man said ANYTHING about Jrby, VIZ
have not seen it, but then, lrby want:
an excuse to relieve himself Of the &C
emulation OF gas, and he las select
ed the most conspicuous object h'
can find. If Colonel Irby will take

ties, we think he will get cured OF BIZ

McLaurin is elected by over twelve
thousand majority The people are
happy and the friends of Irby and
Evans are weeping and wailing; Irby
is attempting to find solace in utter,
ing wild and incoherent threats
against Tillman, and Evans is finding
consolation in imagining that the
people did not know what they were
doing when they voted for McLaurin'
It may be safely said that the result
of this election is the passing Of poll,
ticians of the Evans-Irby school and
that South Carolina will hereafter
give no heed to such.

OUR NEW SENATOR.

In the election Of J. Harry Lesesne
to the State Senate, the people OF
Clarendon can boast OF having the
Youngest Senator in the State. We
realize that Mr.. Lesesne goes to the
Senate under great disadvantage,
lack of experience and only one ses-
sion to work in, however, we sincerely
hope that be will take an interest in
the work before him and in the short
time be able to do something for the
County.
Mr.. Lesesne takes deep interest
in educational matters and if he can
have enacted law which will i'm
prove our free school system, and
does nothing else, the people will be
repaid for honoring him. Our young
Senator will have some advantage
which is not always the good fortune
of new legislator, that is, an expe-
rience in County affairs. Mr.. Lesesne
has had occasion to examine as grand
| Jury expert the books of the County
officials, and he has been upon the
school examining board, has been
connected with the tax collecting de-
partment aud the Sherifs Office, all
of which puts him in position to be
conversant with County affairs and he
should know just what needs his aa-
tention.
1t will be his duty, aSi we are
satisfied his pleasure, to give his
County affairs ais first and special
efforts, and We hope he will be able
to devise some plan by which our
County affairs can be more econom-
fically administered without reducing
the efficiency OF the service.

The campaign promise OF prosper
ity has in measure struck the wheat
growers of the West. but a little IN
vestigation shows that the Republi-
can party had nothing to do with 1t.
The European crop OF cereals
has failed and in India there
is a famine. This condl-
ton has created an unusual demand
for American breadstuffs which
naturally forces prices up and the
farmers of the West are reaping the
benefit. The farmers of the South,
however, are not getting this benefit,
but on the contrary, are suffering
from it; they buy their breadstutfs
and must pay high prices for it, while
.heir cotton is not bringing a proper
tionate price. Cotton continues to
60 down in the face of a short crop
and the Decessaries of life grown else
where and all manufactured articles
made at the North are going up
every day.
