DR.. Hamilton, one of the aldermen
at-large, has been absent for months
or an indefinite leave of absence, and
no comment has been made. Mr..
ROnse might be excused under the

There are others besides the council
are interested in this matter-the
people at large. The people are en-
titled to the reasonable services of AL
derman Ronse. To excuse him from
public duty would be an injury to the
public. Another view is that the peo-
pie would prefer the office to be left
blank rather than incur the expense of
a SDecial election.

MEDDLESOME LEGISLATION.

MEDDLESOME LEGISLATION.
There is g bill before the legisla-
ture to regulate the sale ofcigarettes,
the purpose being, We presume to
put stop to the sale of the obnox-
ious things. The law may be alright
and the motive prompting its intro
duction good, but how is such law
to be enforced? We do not believe
that putting a privilege tax on the
manufacture Of cigarettes will have
any other tendency than to cripple
an industry in this State, compar-
atiyely in its infancy; and the injured
ones will be our tobacco growing
farmers. We admit the evil of the
cigarette habit and would like to see
the evil stopped, but the boys will
smoke them and law or no law they
will continue gratifying their tastes;
then why should we, because some
people will smoke cigarettes go de-
lberately to workandstrikeIa murder

ing employment to thousands of men

COUNTY GOVERNMENT TOP
HEAVY.

The county government law is un'
dergoing considerable discussion
among some of our leading men and
newspapers. Is the present law any
improvement over the old law? As
far as this county is concerned, we
do not believe our county affairs are
being administered as cheap as under
the old system and we doubt the wis
dom Of having so large a board to
manage affairs. The law as operated
for the past two years convinces us
the machinery is entirely too cumber-
some to do good work, and instead
Of it saving the taxpayers it will be
an additional cost. We feel certain
an amendment to the county govern
ment law which will make the con-
cern less cumbersome would be &C.
ceptable to both the people and the
commissioners who have its manage
ment.

aBut never did he cross the
threshold of that room. The door
stood open when the weather was
fine, and the outer gate of the prison
was frequently left Enclosed, so that
he might have walked out at almost
any time without molestation while
the jailer was occupied with bis du-
ties about the prison, but George
Tillman had given his word that he
would not set his foot on the ground
until his term expired, and he valued
his promise too highly to violate it in
the slightest. I have seen him sit
ting on the porch with lis feet dang
ling over the edge, but he never let
them get any nearer the ground. He
was hard student and during the
two years of his incarceration he
read a great deal, and acquired vast
fund of information. He had trav-
eled so extensively that with the
large fund of book learning he was
one of the best informed men in the
State when he came out of prison.
"When the two years were out he
packed up his things and left the
place where he had resided more like
an honored guest than like State
convict, and resumed his law prac-
tice. People seemed to have lost
sight of the fact that he had served a
term in Jail, and he soon established
himself in the estimation OF the COM
munity, and it was not long before
he was nominated for Congress and
elected with, very little opposition.
For sixteen years he represented his
district, and only recently he suffered
his first defeat His has been one of
the most remarkable careers in the
history of this country He has sur
mounted every obstacle that fate has
thrown in his way, and has overcome
some difficulties that must have de-
barred other men of less determine
tion and strength of character, but
that experience in jail, of which I had
personal knowledge, before the war,
was, I think, without parallel in the
prison history of the country. New

I would again try to gather few
items for your paper. They should
not find their way to the waste basket
The news Of the DAY in Sandy Grove
is sickness and deaths; in the the last
few weeks there have been five deaths
in the small territory ofSandy Grove
The dead are: Mr.. W. J. Floyd and
son. Mrs. NJ. D. Floyd and son, an6
Mrs. T. P. Odom. The eldest daugh,
ter Of the late W. J. Floyd is very i'll
Mr.. Rush Mckenzie is quite sick
Capt. ". D. McFaddin and three
other members of his family are very
til. Mrs. Margaret johnson is also
quite i'll. Mrs. w. W. Kennedy and
little son are slowly improving. With
but few exceptions the trouble has
been grippe or pneumonia.
We have just had the coldest wave
of the winter, our thermometer reg.
istered as low as Is in the open air;
Gov. Ellerbe's icaageraladdress has
the right ring and proves him to be a
man Of marked ability. It seems that
the Legislature is trying to legislate
the very hammer off of the pistols.
Mr.. editor, please tell us when the
legislature adjourns, how many new
counties are there being formed SO
fast. We hardly can keep up with
them-Cherokee, Saluda, Bamberg,
Dorchester and the Lord knows how
many by the close of the session.
Well, we see that all the newly
elected county officers have at last,
succeeded in giving bond.
We would have been more than
glad to have attended the Teachers
Association to-day, hadit beeu SO that
we could, but on account Of sickness
we cant be there. We wish it much
success and will try and attend next
time.

him he said it worked like charm. This

The newspapers are making a big
to-do over the fact that Governor Ell
lerbe is recognizing the recommend
ations of the delegations irrespective
of factions. Governors Tillman and
Evans did the very same thing except
in such counties as gave 8 majority
against the Democratic party nomi-
nees. Governor Tillman would not
respect the recommendations of Rich
land because that county cast its vote
for Haskell. Governor Evans re-
fused the wishes of Charleston and
Richland, because those counties cast
their vote for Pope, and We dare say
that if Ellerbe bad an independent
opponent and an. county in the State
had acted ike Cha sston, ne would
have felt under no o igations to re-
spect their wishes in the matter Of
appointments and would have acted
as his predecessors. Fortunately,
such contingency did not arise in
our last election and Governor Eller-
be can do nothing but abide the re-
suit of the primary. We favor doing
away with iactional lines because
there are no issues but what the
Democratic party can agree upon,
and we feel that Governor Ellerbe
was brought upon the scene at a
time when all of the people will lend
him helping hand to bring back
some, who through passion and dis
appointments, allowed themselves to
drift away. The people of South
Carolina are almost unit on nation
al issues, in fact one Of the strongest
exponents of South Carolina's nation
al politics is Editor Gonzales, of the
Columbia State, and every newspa-
per reader knows he hated Tillman
and Evans and the Reform party
with holy hatred, but in national
affairs Tillman and Gonzales were
like Siamese twins, aud both made a
hard fight for the peoples cause.
They were together in national poll
tics and we see no reason for any ir-
ritating contentious in onr State pol
itics.

mortgage yoke from the necks OF our
farmers. It is matter beyond dis
pute, that the culture OF tobacco in
this State has saved many a farmer
from ruin; it has caused the building
up of places made waste, because the
production of cotton would not afford
the necessary means to build. Debts
have been paid, lands have been i'm
proved, and where an open log house
stood to shelter from sunshine
and rain, there now stands a neat,
comfortable dwelling with such cheer
full surroundings that pride mantles
the cheek Of the owner when he re-
fers to his home. This happy con-
dition was brought about by our
farmers finding some other crop be-
sides cotton, and if the bill to put g
privilege tax on cigarettes becomes g
law, the manufacturers will not suffer:
the consumer will not be harmed, but
the man who tills the soil and pays
the taxes to run this government, and
upon whom every branch Of our com
mercial and industrial ezistance must
depend, will be the injured one.
We believe in abating nuisances
and cigarette smoking isa nuisance
on a small scale compared with other
things which have free reign IN
South Carolina. The sale Of impure
food-meats, -four sugar, etc., is s
nuisance and we believe it is against
the law; but there is no enforcement
and impure articles of food are sold
in every town in South Carolina. The
Shylock practices of cotton factors, tc
require commissions upon cotton
they do not handle, is not only q
nuisance, but robbery, -yes|we dc
not see where any OF our humanitar,
ians in the legislature have given the
matter a thought. Let cigarettes
alone.

How Our Success Was Won

First of all it was won by hard labor and close at
tention to business; in the second place it won
by selling frst-class goods at the lowest living
prices; and in the third place it was won by the
hearty support of many friends from all parts Of
the county.
Last September two years ago we unfurled our
banner enscribed upon it QUICK SALES AND
SMALL PROFITS FOR THE CASH ONLY
Though small as it was, the people it, and they
saw what was inscribed upon it and they saw the
standard-bearer and they saw that he meant bust
ness. They focked to our standard from all quar-
ters and the result was an unprecedented success.
Last December one year ago the fire came and
swept US from the face of the earth and many
thought that our Great Cash Store was no more but
it only an incentive to rise in greater splendor
