CROWN. DiSaGectiOn.

The Reform leaders are quarreling among
and thus con fusion and demorali-
zation follow in the Reform ranks.
In 1876 Wade Hampton led a great revolu-
ton. At least ninety per cent. of the white
people were enthusiastic supporters of the
movement of which be was the recognized
head.
In 1890, Hampton and his followers had en-
ioyed the honors and emoluments of office
for fourteen years, the people became tired OF
the very rule for which they had struggled SO
zealously.
Under the lead OF Tliman. the people were
as victorious in 1890 as they had been in 1915
But Tillman had not SO large majority as
Hampton had.
The Reformers In 1890 had everything their
own way In politics, and were satisfied with
their victory until the Courts began to inter
fere. The Reformers then took another ster
forward and removed the old judges.
The anti-Reformers died hard, and fought
until their numbers dwinded into such pro
portions that no hope for the politician could
be found in their ranks, and then the Conser
vatives disbanded.
The fight was then directed at individuals
The solid ranks of Reformers were broken
Disa ffection in the Reform ranks now pre-.
walls.
The handwriting can be plainly seen on the
wall The leaders OF lS90-one by one-are
disappearing from the scene; an element
has fought valiently against the restrlc
tions OF the dlspensary, and has left no stone
unturned In their effort for the restoration o
the liquor traffic.
The opponents OF Reform will likely unite
forces with the liquor element, and com
bined assault will be made on the Reform
party as it now stands.
Whether the liquor element succeeds In
opening the bars again, they will certainly
seek 10 oust the present variety Of politicians.
Their race is nearly run.
While 1t may be set down as true that the
old line politicians will never again have pos.
session, yet 1t Is certain that new men will
ONE to the front. The demand of the times
will always developes the right man for the
place.
But it matters not which individual, or
which coterie Of ofindividuals, may gain the as
tendency. 1t may be safely predicted that the
bars will not again be opened in South Caro-
lima. The liquor traffic has received blow
from which it will not recover, and the peo-
pie Of South Carolina will not return 10 the
former plan Of liquor-dealng.

Treason in the Tainted Breeze.

"Wuen hear a northern statesman say,
Give us a protective tariff, methinks | near
when hear q southern statesman cry. Give
us a protective tariff methinksl snuft trsa-
son In the tainted breeze.'-George McDulne
McDuffie. 1t will be remembered. was lieu
tenant and neighbor OF the great Calhoun.
Volumes of such stuff could no doubt be quot
ed, all going to prove the correctness Oh our
position in reference to Calhoun, slavery, and
free trade.
The tainted breeze" to which reference was
had by McDuffie, was African slavery.
The robber band was that of the abolition
lists who would free the slaves.
The treason" referred to without doubt
was the disloyalty OF the poor white trash
to the "cherished institution" Protection
meant employment TO the white trash" and
employment TO the white trash" meant the
presence Of an element which might some day
prove a meanance to "our peculiar lnstitu-
tion."
The very word slavery was so offensive
even here In the south that many persons
spoke of 1t as "our peculiar institution" ""our
domestic relations" and other words OF like
sound, but which meant abject slavery.
Slavery at that time was stencil in the nos
globe, while the nations of the earth held up
their hands at the recital Of the horrors OF "our
peculiar institution" 1t was then no wonder
McDuffe snuffed treason in the tainted
breeze"
Yes McDuffie was right in speaking of the
tainted air." II there ever was breeze which
was tainted" it was that Of "our peculiar
institution"
And any detection from that "tainted breeze"
by people Of the south was treason" That
treason was so offensive to our "cherished In
stitution" that "poor white trash" were made
to move on, even upon suspicion Of not being
loyal to slavery.
If a man like Col. John p. Thomas had
written In the fffties letter about any Of the
'.poor white trash" as he wrote about the
editor of the Press and Banner, the indiVid-
ual would either have been lynched or ordered
to leave the country. Yes, sir, the breeze was
tainted" and the slave-owner feared moth
ing as much, as the disloyalty OF the
"poor white trash" 1t was treason most pro-
nounced 10 say or to do anything that might
possibly be construed as endangering "our
domestic relations"
McDuffie was right about the Tainted breze.'
1t was tainted. He was also right about the
treason" "Our. cherished institution" could
brook no opposition at home. The northern
Republicans were soaring "our set TO death
and "poor white trash" at home had to be
lyrched. beaten or run out OF the
country, If they held any but orthodox
opinions.

The COnstabIes to Go.

Governor Ellerbe has given notice that the
whiskey constables will be discharged on
October first.
Opinions may differ as to the wisdom or
expediency Of the move. but we presume no.
body will doubt Governor Ellerbe's fidelity
to the dispensary. He has stood to 1t in the
past, and we have no reason to believe that
he has surrendered to our friends OF the
liquor element.
Several vicious attacks have been made in
the newspapers upon Governor Ellerbe, for
ss, we presume. the purpose OF weakening
him with the people.
Governor Ellerbe, to be reelected Governor
OF South Carolina has only to show himself
steadfast and true to the temperance element
of the people, and he can do this in no way so
we'll as by standing squarely to the dispen-
sary Law.
The attacks upon Governor Elerbe have
come, we believe, alone from the enemies Of
the law, who may hope to have his place fill
ed by friend ofbarrooms and free liquor.
The dispensary or free liquor will probably
be the questions upon which the campaign
will be run.
The voter should be slow to 60 back on
Governor Ellerbe because the liquor element
attacks him.
:. AS far as we now remember, no temperance
man in this state has assailed him.
The morals Of the people are to be guarded
against the foreign whiskey element, who
are doing everything In their power to flood
this country with their liquor.
The large amount which they are spend
ing to force their liquor into this state may
not be so much on account Of the profit and
drunkards which they can make In South
Carolina, but it may be to prevent a prece.
cedent. Ifiby expending: Of large sums Of
money they may break down the laws and
the sobriety OF this people, they may thus set
aprecedent which may deter the good people
OF other states from making laws to prevent
the debauchery Of their youths.
The question reduced TO the last analysis
is we believe, q contest between the foreign
liquor dealer and the temperance people OF
this state.
The liquor dealer and his agents, or the
temperance people Of the Commonwealth
must rule. Which shall It be?.

The Cotton Mill.

Because Of the scarcity of cotton the Abbe-
willie Cotton Mill was shut down several days
last week, but on Monday morning the
wheels began to turn, and We presume they
will not again be stopped for many day.
With reasonable supply OF cotton on hand,
and the new crop daily coming into market,
it is not likely that the mill will ever again
be short of cotton. The mill has plenty of
money with which TO buy cotton, and since
the market opened the highest prices have
been paid. AS yet there are few buyers IN the
market. AS a rule, the mill men are not
anxious TO get the first bales that are put
upon the market. The early cotton is green
and damp. Besides the loss in weight 1t Is
hard to put through the machinery.
