The so-called democratic club Of New
York City must not be confounded with
Tarnmany Hall. The former is an aIis-
tocratic institution controlled by million
aires who claim 10 be made Of better clay
than are common democrats. Tammany
Hall is an organization having constit-
uency. The club is self-constituted
body having no constituency, but the
men composing it are OF that class who
think that the Lord ought to be proud to
know them as His sons.

THURSDAY, APRIL 90. 1899.
The ROAD DEF EAT ed.

The city council laid the ordinance cali
Ing special election ~ determine the
issrance Of bonds for the building 81 that
portion Vi the MOntesano road lying IN
the CITY limits on the table last night, in
the full know ledge that a postponement
waa equivalent to killing the Tneasure,in-
asrnnch az the election should have been
had before the next meeting Of the county
commissioners, May 8, in order to have
the county part built.
There has been quiet opposition TO
this road in this city whenever it has
been mooted, which developed great &C.
tivity since the passage Of the ordinance
referred to at its first reading, two weeks
ago. number Of the business men OF
the city signed petition TO the council
asking that the matter he submitted to
vote, and no one questioned that great
benefits would, in time, accrue 10 the city
by reason d the road, but a number Oi
reasons we're advanced by those inter
eated against the proposition, some Of
which deserved consideration and others
that were absurd, and all Of which would
have been duly discussed and weighed
had the matter come TO an election.
The HERALD believes the voters Of
Aberdeen to be as competent to decide
this matter as they were to select the
council that is now disposed to doubt
their judgment, and that that body
should have deferred its personal views
OF its own small number to that Of the
greater number OF representative Dus-
ness men who petitiOned 10 have it sub
mitted to vote. To save the trtiing
cost OF the election was not the reason
for smothering the ordinance but the
fear that the measure would carry il left
to the people. The dread was openly
expressed to the HERALD by one Of the
councilman in conversation yesterday,
and goes to show how fortunate the fool
people OF Aberdeen are in having such
an aggregation Of brains to keep them
from running away with themselves on
some proportions that only have the
merit OF bencftling the public instead Of
a favored few.
II there were valid objections to the
building of the road as proposed and
there may have been some--there would
have been ample time to have had them
fully understood before the election, the
discussion of which would have given q
general insight to city affairs that ap.
pears to be needed.

A Boys Essay On Hornets.

The Boys Friend.
A hornet is the smartest bug that
flies anywhere. He comes when he
pleases, and goes when he gets ready.
One way a hornet shows his smart
ness is by attending to his own bust
ness, and making everybody who in
terferes with him wish they bad
done the same thing.
When hornet stings fellow he
knows it and never stops talking
about it as long az his friends will
listen to him. One day a hornet
stung my pa (my pa is a preacher}
on the nose, and he did not do any
pastoral visiting for a month without
taking that hornet.
Another way hornet shows his
smartness is by not procrastinating.
If he has any business with you he
will attend to it at once, and then
leaves you to think it over to yourself
He don't like the mosquito, who comes
fooling around for half an hour sing
ing, s'Cousip, cousin" and then, when

Carolina Spartan.
Senator Tillman is good subject
for the philosopher to watch. He
suddenly foated in on top of great
revolutionary wave and while he had
the confidence of the people he found
no difficulty in remaining on top. He
could laugh at and defy his enemies
who were foundering about in the
depths below. But now the wave
has subsided. The people have lost
their admiration for him, and the
senator, far seeing and planning in q
very wise manner, will not array
himself against towns any more.
The campaign of 1900 will be very
different from his others. His main
support will come from those he
formerly called his enemies. The
people that once abused him are
going to support him. Unless the
political wind changes, the man has
not been named that can beat him in
1900.

Competition Between Counties to be
Encouraged by the State Fair.
Columbia State.
The executive committee of the
State Fair society has made several
important changes in the premium
list by offering larger premiums for
certain exhibits, the total amount set
aside for the premiums something
like $4,000.
The committee also decided to re-
new the prizes for the best county
exhibits, and it is believed that this
will stimulate the farmers of each
county to prepare fine exhibits by
reason of county pride. The county
having the best exhibit of agricultu-
raj products will get prize of $3.50,
the second best $3.50 and the third
S1OC.
The committee will from now until
November 9th hope and pray for
good weather at that time and if this
is had, it is thought The fair will be
a great success.

Hong Kong, Feb. 22-Aguinaldo
has issued a manifesto and accepted
the situation caused by the "unex.
pected proclamation Of the Ameri-
cans" While lamenting the hostili-
ties, which he says he tried to avoid
by every means in his power, making
humilisting concessions and tolerat-
ing insults and outrages by the army
Of occupation against the people Of
Manila, he adds that he is prepared
to sacrifice everything to maintain
the integrity OF the national honor"
He further alleges the country is
unanimous in his support and that
the people will perish rather than
accept the odious American domin-
ion, alleging that "even corrupt
Spanish dominion is preferable"
The Philippine commission is con-
sidered farce. Otis, DENLY, Dewey

Finally, Aguinaldo expresses the
wish to proclaim to the world and
officially dispel any false rumors that
Germany or any other power has
rendered assistance, moral or ma
terial, to the Filipinos, nor have the
Filipinos solicited it.

Blight On Pear Trees.
Edgeield Advertis r.

Edge6eld Advertis r.
1t is a proven fact that calomel
will prevent blight in pear trees, and
now, right now, is the proper time
to dose them, and the way to do it is
this: With your knife split the bark
two or three inches on the body Of
the tree, lift it up and insert from
three to five grains of calomel, then
tie up the cleft with cloth. During
the past month we saw an orchard OF
LeConte pear trees, eight years old,
that had never blighted, and the
owner assured US that calomel pre-
vented the blight and gave him fruit
every year, except when the fruit
buds were killed by the frost. CAL
omel is only i0c or 15c an ounce.
Try it.

however, spoiled their plans, the

Death Of Mr.. Elhsgt Hall.
To the Editor of the Dispatch:

To the Editor of the Dispatch:
Death has again visited this section
and claimed one of our old and re-
spscted citizens. For sometime Mr..
Elbert Hall has been suffering with
a stroke of paralysis and about a
week or so ago was stricken the
second time, from which he died on
the night of the 18th, and today the
18Th, the funeral was preached by
Rev. n. G. Cooner of Batesburg, at
Samaria church, assisted by Rev.
Evans Hall. Rev. Cooner took for
his text the 18th chapter, 6-h verse
of Genesis, "And be believed in the
Lord; and he counted it to him for
righteousness" His discourse was
very appropriate and was listened to
by large congregation of sympa-
tbising relatives and friends who
had met to pay the last sad tribute
of respect to our old friend and
neighbor.
Mr.. Hall was once very popular
citizen in this section of the county,
both in church and politics. He had
been leading member and deacon
of Samaria church for many years.
The sympathy of the community is
extended to the family in their sad
bereavement.
