POLITICS MAKE STRANGE BEDFEL-
LOWS.

We see it stated that Capt ". c..
MCGOWAN of Abbeville will be can
didate for Governor, and we have had
It whispered into our ears that man
named John L. N. Irby, known to the
political world as the "feller" with the
sslulu hand" has something to do
with Mr.. McGowan's determination
to enter the race. We are also in
formed that Rev. Mr. Archer of Spar
tanburg, once preacher, but now a
member of the Legislature and a
pretty slick all-round politician, will
also be a candidate for the governor
ship, and if our advisor is correct in
his guess, ''lulu hand" John Irby will
play MCGOWAN the Conservative to
catch the Conservatives and Archer
the Reformer to split the Reformers
to defeat Elerbe for reelection. This
is to be sort of a three-card monte
arrangement in which revenge is ex-
pected to find the winning card. If
this surmise is correct, Irby will be, as
far as the anti-Ellerbe forces are con-
cerned, expected to stay in his grave
yard where he was buried last sum
mer, but from that quiet retreat ne
will send his voice from the tomb
through his Sancho Panzo, Col. I.
Larioso CAN'T, who will go among
Ellerbe's friends and endeavor to
trick them into picking up the wrong
card.
This is free country. Everybody
has a right to run for Office, but we
would feel mortified if handsome
Willie MCGOWAN allowed himself to
be made cat'spaw of by designing
politicians who are only after the

Governor Ellerbe may have COM
mitted some errors OF judgment
who has ever held such high and
important trust that has lot? Hamp-
ton in his day, with no tantalizing
surroundings. made some mistakes,
and so did every one of his success
ors, including Ben TiJlman, but the
people are not going to set down on
a man for making an honest mistake,
especially when that mistake is over
balanced hundredfold, by an honest
administration Of Office.
Let the candidates who desire to
break the precedent of giving Gov
ernor second term come out; they
will only show the people their greed
for Office, that is all. The people will
look after them in due time and each
and every one Of them might as well,
IL packing their grips for the stump,
carry along their political shrouds,
for they will surely need them when
Governor Ellerbe gets through giving
the rotess an account of his steward
ship.
The day for kicking up dust and
binding the people has passed, as
was proven in the last senatorial race.
No longer do politicians rule. Tie
people must be consulted when q
man is to be chosen, and they lave
reposed confidence in our present
Governor that all the chickering's OF
soreheaded politicians can not shake,
nor can the tricks of political monte
players divert the people from exer-
cising their choice. Therefore the
game may proceed; the voters will
cut the cards and they will see to it
that no "cold decks" are wrung in on
them. When Governor Ellerbe in
his Inaugural address gave out his
policy, it was received with a univer-
sal approval The only question then
Will be, has he carried out his prom
ises on the lines indicated in his
pledge to the people? We believe he
has, and we also believe the people
think likewise.

ACTIVE ADVANCING MARKETS

The stock and grain markets are gaining new
life, broadening, and going abroad The best
outlook for every interest in this country for
years. everything favors making money in
stocks 10 per cent should be made in each one
of a large number and 20 per cent in some of
them. The present absorption of Securities is
similar to the memorable campaign OF 1881
which carried the price of ST. Paul to 1870; O. B.
g. @. 1888; Rock Island $50; Northwest 100 I;
Atkinson 149; Union Pacific 1870; Reading "a !;
Jersey Central 112; Erie So; Louisville and
Nashville ia and Pacific Mail GO.
1t should be borne in mind that the cost of all
production, and also the cost of operating
Railroads is lower at this time than ever before
in the history of the country.
The condition OF the money market could not
be stronger and is immeasureably superior to
that of 1879 when high interest rates were the
rule and when railroad first mortgages were
put out at per cent. The financial question is
being solved by the continual decline in the
price of silver This fact will bring Europe
where the money rate is one half of one per
cent per annum; in as a buyer of our securities
for the investment of their idle funds and gold
will follow to us, in payment of them and of
wheat, in greater volume than ever before.
From every point of view the comparison be-
tween the two periods is in favor of the pres ent
time and future prices will prove the fact.
