STOP 1T!

The Hazelden-Ouzts ''youare-an-
other" correspondence which has
been filing newspaper space for the
past few weeks should be checked,
that the people msy get some rest
from the nauseating elimination and
recrimination. The people are hear
tily sick of both the State Board of
Control and D. 4. G. QUITS; their
tales of woe have been told and re-
told until it is time they were re-
quired to put the matter into the
hands of job printers, where free adj
vertising is an unknown quantity.
Hazelden replies to QUITS charges
by bringing in witnesses from his
home county, and we suppose that
QUITS could procure in that same
county of Marion, cart load of afli-
davits sustaining the charges against
Hazelden. We have hal some e1pe-
rience with Marion county; we well
remember the Norton-Ellerbe fight,
that Ellerbe made horrible charges
against Norton, backed up by afhda-
Wits from Marion men, and, notwith-
standin. all that, Norton whipped
Ellerbe out Of his boots in Marion
county. 1t is therefore PLAN 10 US
that Marion afidavits are not always
conclusive proof for or against any
hody charged. 1t is, however, con-
vincing to us that when q question
arises the people in that county take
sides, and stand by their respective
friends. QUITS, we have no doubt, is
scattering his shot promiscucusly,
but there is no doubt about it, he has
hit somewhere, and bit hard enough
for the Legislature to follow up the
yelpings OF the hit dog.
Some people are wondering why
it is that Governor McSweeney does
not take hand in the dispensary
muddle. We are satisfied that if he
had the power, he would suspend the
entire board and close down the in
stitution until the Legislature came
to his relief and did something, but
he is powerless to act-there is abso-
lately nothing he caaRc. The Board
of Control is supreme for the present
and will remain so until the General
Assembly can take the matter in
hand. We therefore hope that the
newspapers will let up with filing
their columns with the "grinds" of
the "devil rebuking SIM because all
that can be, has already been accom-
plished in establishing the fact that
corruption exists and no remedy can
be had until the Legislature con-
venes.

logic and common sense. he does
not have to resort to meaningless
phrases about American liberties to
make a speech.
America was freed and won her
own flag about a hundred and twenty
five years ago, and yet the President
is always talking about it. Bryan is
talking about freeing the people from
their oppressed condition brought
about by trasts and monopohes.
Some CT his pithy savings, getting at
the root of the evils underlying our
social conditions, read like the prov
erbs of Solomon. They are pungent
truths, logical, forceful, convincing
ana the American people would DO
themselves honor in making him
President. He can do more work,
make more speeches ard better
speeches, than any man in politics to-
dav, and would make better Presi-
dent. Like Thomas Jefferson was
the greatest statesman of former days
and had a deeper and more profound
conception of a great government, so
BRYAN is the statesman of the present,
and is Jeferson's greatest disciple.

A Vigorous Democratic Journal.

The Verdict, the only illustrated
Democratic weekly journal in the
United States, is arousing an unusual
interest not only in the East, but in
the West It's stalwart Democracy is
unquestionable. Certainly it voices
now the issues upon which the Dem
ocratic party intends to 60 before the
people in 1900. 1t is rallying the De-
mocracy to the support OF this 1900
platform:
An Income Tax.
A graded Inheritance Tax.
The destruction of the political
power of the Trusts.
Public ownership of municipal
franchises.
It's editorials, written by Alfred
Henry Lewis, 'are unusually frank in
statement. The Verdict's cartoons,
printed in colors, sum up pictorially
the editors view Of National and
New York affairs. There are char
acter and Individuality in the car
toons that are as refreshing as the
vigor of the editorials. The Verdict
gives promise of being the oracle Of
the advanced Democracy.

Plant Fruit Trees.
Editor The TINES:

Editor HE LINES:
Some time ago received from the
Department OF Agriculture ut Wash
ington the new catalogue OF s:nit
trees, vines and plants adapted to
this country.
The United States is divided into
different sections, nineteen in num-
her. These sections are moi made
with reference to State boundaries,
but according to temperatures and
altitude. 1t is compiled by pomolo-
gists of national repute and is au-
thoritative. Among the compilers
is Mr.. Berckman of Augusta. Sec.
ton 5 takes in those portions of
North Carolina, South Carolina, Geor-
eia and Florida that are under 500
feet above sea level, and we are in
this section. BY going over the lists
laid down of every fruit, berry and
nut, we can pick out those adapted,
specially adapted, promising, un-
promising, not suited.
This is very important and valu-
able pamphlet to any one who is in
terested in growing fruits, as it is a
reliable guide in choosing varieties.
If everybody would buy from such a
house as Berckmans, and rely on
their advice as to varieties suited to
our own section, then they would be
safe. We, however, buy mostly
through travelling agents who some
times know very little if anything
about the adaptability of the different
varieties, and so we lose money and
time by buying trees, etc, that are
not suited to our climate.
As this is the season to put out
trees, it would be we'll for all intend
ing purchasers to get copies OF the
catalogue and go overit as I have done
and mark every apple, peach. plum,
grape, strawberry, pear, ETC., then IN
buying from the nursery direct OF
from an agent consult this list and
buy nothing else.
The preseut generation is doing
little or nothing to leave orchards for
posterity. Years ago could be seen
the work of former generation evil
denced by an orchard near every
farm house. Time and neglect have
killed these old orchards and no new
ones have been planted.
Years ago, in the pioneer days, out
on the frontier lived an eccentric
man who travelled about OH foot, ap-
parently friendless and penniless, as
much at home among the Indians as
the whites. This old man was always
planting apple seed as he wandered
over the West. Years afterwards
there rose up orchards of apple trees
along his different pathways, which
proved blessings toa new generation.
It is Il custom in European coun-
try of planting the seed OF fruit eaten
at the place of eating. AS conse-
quence, the highways and byways are
friDsed with trees bearing different
fruits of which the traveller is free to
eat.
No food is more healthy than ma
tive ripe fruit. We can have it on
our own farms twelve months in the
year if we apply ourselves, yet I doubt
if there are dozen men in Claren-
don county who are qualified to grow
and take care OF an orchard.

BRYAN AND MCKINLEY.

Next year is campaign year, and in
most OF the States everything will
have to be elected from President
down to coroner. No one seems to
be thinking about the election more
than William Mckinley, and he now
quite often finds it convenient to take
a junketing trip out into some West
ern State to lay a cornerstone for
some school building or public hall,
making dozen or more speeches,
with the American flag as his subject.
Mckinley and his crowd have spoken
of the old flag until it is a wonder it
is not frazzled at the edges, and when
they wear out the flag entirely it is
hard to conceive what his next sub
ject will be, unless he takes the old
liberty bell. This will last him awhile
and is sufficiently abstract for him to
speak on through a whole campaign
without saying anything.
Mckinley speaks on broad plati-
tpdes and never commits himself to
anything. He is a politician. Bryan
is statesman. Mckinley speaks
in Generalities Bryan goes to the
root OF q matter, lays down his lines,
hews to them and never contradicts
himself. Mckinley will make dozen
speeches and every one will be al
most alike and mean nothing. Bryan
will make the same number, every
one will be different, and every one
will be pitby and to the point, full of

TUE BRITISH-BOER WAR.

The fighting in South Africa be-
tween the British and Beers during
the past week has been of minor I'M
portance. Only two great battles
have as yet been fought, one at Glen
coe Hill and the other at Glands
laagte, and in both OF these the Brit
ish cot the best of the situation, but
in most of the minor engagements
the Beers are doing better. While
the English troops occupied the field
after both great battles, yet their
losses were quite heavy, and their
gain in ground covered is quite
small. In other words, the Boers are
proving themselves better soldiers
than they were estimated to be last
week after the fight at Glencoe Hill
4 late dispatch reports a capture
of fifteen hundred mules from the
British by the Boers, and General
Joubert is holding General White
pretty we'll in check. But there is
yet much blood TO be shed in South
Africa.
England's great army of something
like eighty thousand troops have not
all reached the Cape Colony country
yet, through which they will enter
the Transvaal and the Orange Free
State, and when Sir Redvers Butler,
the chief commaader, arrives, it is
said he will destroy all wires behind
him, like Dewey did at Manila, so as
not TO be handicapped by any mes
sages from home. Then the war will
begin in dead earnest, and no doubt
thousands OF brave soldiers on both
sides will bite the dust. While
there can be but one inevitable re-
suit, that of England's coming out IN
top and owning all of South Africa,
vet the Transvaalers and the Free
Staters, backed against the wall, so to
speak, and fighting for their own
countries, their liberties and their
property, will surely die fighting.
There is many an English mother
who will mourn the loss of son, OF
Irish or Scotch wife who will weep
the death of a husband in South
Africa before England shall have fin
ished her work of unjust subjugatiop,
and as the Beers are fighting for
principle and right, it would seem
that kind Providence will give them
many English lives for their fighting
before they are inevitably conquered
and put under the bonds of English
slavery. The cause of the Beers is
like the cause OF the Confederate
States, and when they die they are
going to die game
The latest from the British-Boer
war in the Transvaal, is that the Brit
ons in their greed to swallow weak
Republics have bitten off more than
they can easily chew. The Beers
who are fighting for home and God
given rights, have captured two Brit
ish regiments and battery of artil-
lery. They have also created conster-
nation among the English by the way
they are killing off British officers.
After the drubbing the English got
last Monday they will be re-enforced
with more soldiers.
