The Meekest individual.

The mcckcst individual now-a-
days is the candidate for political
Office when a subscription list for
some purpose or other is pokcd at
him. lie must quictely submit to
the operation of drawing a contribu-
ton out of his pock, tbook or bear
the brunt of gossip and criticism that
he is stingy and mean if he declines
TO respond in aid of some church
scheme or charitable object. All
kinds Of advantage are taken of the
candidates in this respect. Candi-
dates are made the special object OF
soliciting committees, whose efforts
continue throughout the campaign.
1t is taking unfair advantage Of the
candidates. While it is their bust
ness to serve the people (whcn they
set otlice), yet they ought to be given
the opportunity to make their gifts
for worthy objects just like other
people. 1t is the abuse of this Gus
tom which needs condemnation, and
not the objects for which money is
sought. The majority OF the objects
are most worthy, but it is surprising
how many things there are to which
a candidate must contribute, while it
is true, as the Abbcville Medium says
on this subject: "A poor man on a
campaign has about rs much to do
as he is able, to pay out what is just
and proper" Give the candidates a
rest along these lincs.-Newbcrry

Election Of Judges.

Editor Wallace of the Grcenville
News had an editorial yesterday on
the election of Judges by the people
that we endorse. We would regard
a change in the law so as to permit
the Circuit Judges to he elected by
popular vote as decided improve
ment. The people as whole have
as much sense and as good Judgment
as the average Legislature, and we
believe they would come as near
selecting the best man as the Lcgis-
la:urc has done. The Legislature
has gone out of its way at times to
pick up lawyers of one Circuit and
make them Judges of another Cir
cult without cause or excuse and in
disregard of the wishes Of the pco-
pie. This is wrong, and if the cleo
ton Of Judges could be placed in
the hands of the people it will be
impossible to place an Abbcville
man in the Judgeship Of the First
Circuit or Winsboro man in the
Third Circuit, as the Legislature did
in the not distant past.-Sumptcr

A Straightout Platform.

There can be no difficulty in finding
out just where the Democratic party
stands on any issue now before the coun-
try.
The platform adopted unanimously by
the Kansas City Convention is SO clear
and emphatic that he who runs may
read. There is in it no attempt to mys-
.ify or miSlcad, no cquivocation or un-
certainty. 1t is Il plain, straight forward
declaration of the Democratic position
on every question that will be discussed
during the campaign. 1t makes so dis
tinct the differences between the two
great parties that the voter will have no
difficulty in choosing between them
The platform makes the attack upon inn
pcrialism and trusts the lead. 1t sets
forth the necessity Of resisting these
dangers and evils us the permanent duty
of the party and its adhcronts at this
time.
This is well, for the public mind and
the public apprehension arc now much
more fully enlisted on these questions
than upon any that arc now eminent or
are likely to arise before tho election
The manner in which these sections of
the platform were received by tho con
vcntion and the multitude of spectators
indicates the prevalent conviction that
they cmhody the principal issues of the
campaign. The country will echo the
cheers with which they were received in
the convention hall.
The committee on platform divided al
most evenly on the proposition to make
a specific declaration for tho free coin
ago of silver ut lG to |, and the conven-
ton was probably about equally balanced
on that issue. The secondary considcra-
ton accorded it in the platform indi-
Gates quite as much relative cOnSidcra-
ton rs it will receive .ithcr in advocacy
or attack in the aC.llal work of the
campaign. The arrlignmcnt of the
present administration is strong and
logical. 1t is sustained fully by facts
and will be made good by incontcstable
proofs.
From the beginning t. the end of the
campaign the Republican party will be
on the defensive. The Democratic con
vcntiun has outlined an attack upon it
which appeals to the conscience, the
patriotism and the common sense of the
country
On the platform thus laid down stands
leader of the party in whose honesty
the people have absolute confidence and
to whose support Il majority of them,
we believe, will rally with great cntiusi-
there is to be no dodGing, nor will they
permit any on the part of their advcr-
SaricS.
1t will he Il square fight, and united
Democracy will, we think, win Il glori
ous victory. tlanta journal, July 6.

OUT IN KANSAS CITY.
How the South Carolina Delegates Voted In
tho National Convention.

News and Courier, July 8: or tho dele
gates TO tho Kansas City Convention,
Governor McSwccncy, Senator Talbird,
and Messrs. Garrs and Welborn returned
this afternoon. While in Kansas CITY
the delegation rented small dwelling
sufficient to accommodate them, and
they took their meals wherever it hap
poncd to be most convenient. Whilo the
delegation acted unanimously in tho con
vontion and cast IS votes for Stevenson,
there was quite lively little racket
stirred up when tho delegation met to
decide whom they would support for
tho vice presidency. Tho first choice of
most of them was Hill, but his positive
declaration that he would not accept the
honor, made tho Carolinians cast about
for another man to support. Senator
Tillman was an enthusiastic supporter of
Townc, and mado u characteristical)y
earnest and ardent speech at tho dclcea-
ton meeting, urging them to support
him. But his efforts were in vain, and
the Senator was much put out because
the delegation refused to look AT it in
the light he did. Had it not been for
the unit rllc he would doubtless have
made speech in favor Of Townc i'm the
convention and would have voted for
him, too. But majority of tho dclega-
ton was not willing to support Rcpub-
lcan, even though he favored free silver.
whilc lifelong Democrats were available,
and Senator Uillman had to Weld to their
opinion. The following is tho result of
the ballot whereby tho delegation do
cidcd to vote for Stevenson: For Townc,
Fillman, Stokes, Wclborn, Traxlcr, Gar
riS, 8; for Hill, Latimcr, /; for Steven
son, Governor McSwccncy, Wilson, Strib-
ling, Melee, Bouchicr, McGhcc, John
Gary Evans, Polaty, Talbird, Mooney,
Grubcr, IT; for Carr, of North Carolina.

Presidential Possibilities.

Is there any chance for Bryan's
election? Chairman Jones says
there is, and all the other Dcmocra-
tic politicians say the same. Quite
natural they should; they couldn't
go into the campaign with any
other declaration. But Chairman
Hanna and all the other Republican
politicians say Mckinley is certain
to be reelected.
What do people who arc not poll
ticians say9 They can only guess,
and when they guess "out loud" they
guess according to there political
affiliations.
But what does The Grccnvile
News think. 1t thinks that Bryan
will be elected if he gets enough
ELECTORAL votes. Will he do that :?
Let's figure on it little. In 1896
Bryan had 17G votes to Mckinlcy's
III. lie will get all he got in 1896.
There is some talk of North Carolina
and Louisiana going Republican, but
it is not at all probable. lie will
need 4S votes more than he had in
1886. OF those he is pretty sure Of
getting l2 from Kentucky. Then
if he could only get New York's SO
he would be all right; but that is
hardly to be hoped for, though it is
possible. New York went Rcpubi-
ba" four years ago by 2GS,00O. Mary
land ought to be Democratic, but it
went Republican in 1896 by over
$4,000. There is good chance for
8 in California and 3 in Delaware.
The Democratic politicians arc going
to fight for lndiana's IS and for
Illinois 2l. They hope Uncle Adlai
may pull them through in his own
State ; but it will take change of
mole than II votes to do it.
N'ho'S INC DIalcS thaI went
Democratic in 1892 were New York,
New Jersey, Connecticut, West
Virginia, California, Illinois and
Indiana but these all went Rcpub-
iican in 1896, and the dscouraging
thing about it is, they have been
going Republican in their State clec-
tions since.
The most that can be said is, the
Democrats have a fighting chance

District Meeting Of W. F. M. Society.

The District Meeting of the w. f..
Missionary Society of Grcenvillc
District M. f.. Church, convened
with the Piedmont auxiliary July G.,
7 and 8.
Mrs. Nj. II. Goodgion, of William
ston, the District Secretary, though
SO feeble as to be unable to conduct
the meeting, was present for part
of the time, but had requested Mrs.
j. w. llumbcrt, the beloved Cores
ponding Secretary Of the State
Board, to take her place, which she
did most ably and faithfully.
Mrs. Waite, of Nincty-Six, one of
the Vice Presidents Of the State
Board, was also present and added
greatly to the interest Of the occa-
sion by her appropriat" talks on diff
fcrent missionary subjects.
Miss Della Wright, of Anderson,
who has just finished course at the
Scarritt Bible and Training School,
and Miss Bertha Anderson, of Will
liamston, the newly elected District
Secretary, were also here and proved
their zeal for the cause they have
cspouscd by their willing responses
when called to any duty by Mrs.
llumbert as presiding officer.
Rev. NJ. b. Kelly delivered the
Sunday morning sermon most ably,
and Rev. ". g. Ligon did all il. his
po"cr to see that the delegates were
properly received and entertained,
and to lend his influence in every
way to the cause they represented.
Mrs. j. b. Marshall, Of Piedmont,
welcomed the delegates in an ad-
dress that was thrilling and
aboundcd in the most lofty senti-
mcnts of Christian affection, and to
which Miss Della Wright responded
in the same happy manner
Miss Bertha Anderson was called
TO the position of Secretary and filled
the position well, giving us minutes
that were not merely dry statistics,
but rather interesting essays.
Those who were present will re-
member the occasion as one of the
most pleasant in their missionary
Iabors, and we hope and pray that
"llc who sccth in secret" may sec
good seed sown that shall bear fruit
to the glory of God.
The place and time of next dis
trct meeting was left to the discrc
ton Of the District Secretary.

The Ancient Faith OF China.

Anything relating TO the Chinese
is OF present interest. Their rclig-
louS faith is peculiarly so, for one of
the main causes Of the war now 90
ing on in the Celestial Empire is the
wide. spread hatred Of Christian mis-
slonarlcs now operating in that
country. Most Of the Chinese be-
licvc in Buddha.
The moral code Of this religion
contains ten prohibilions--killing,
stealing, adultery, lying, selling wine,
speaking falsely Of others, self
praise ami hackbi,ing, parSimony
and scofling, uncorrcc,cd anger and
rcviling the three precious Ones.
The Buddhist Church in Thibct
has its pope, its cardinals, It's bishops,
priests and nuns, exactly as has the
Roman Catholic Church and more,
it has its infant baptism, coniirma-
ton masses for the dead, rosarcS,
chaplcts, sacred water and process
Sions.
The teachings of Buhlha were re-
dnccd to writing 93 b. G. The en-
tire canon Of the faith was compiled
in \. ID. ll0. In this Buddha is de-
scribcd as coming from heaven, be-
Ing born Of virgin, welcomed 10y
angels, received by an old saint, pre-
scn,ed in a temple, baptized with
water and later with fire. He is de-
scrlbcd rs astonishing the doctors
with his understanding, was later led
into wilderness where he was
tempted by the devil, and there
after he went about doing wonders
and preaching. He was n friend tc
the poor, was tranSiigurcd on {
mount, descended into hell and iinall,
asccnlcd into heaven.

Hoyt and Gary.

Col. lIoyt and Mr.. Gary made the best
impression Of the candidates for Gov
ern0r who spoke here last week. Here
tofore Mr.. Gary has not been considered
in this county rs Il strong candidate. 1t
has been question of Iloyt or Nc
Sweeney, but yesterday changed things
with many who attended the meeting,
and McSweency stock went down and
Gary stock advanced proportionatcly.
We have not heard Of a single vote
changing from lloyt to either of the
other candidates, but at least twenty five
changed from McSwccncy to Gary. If
the talk on the streets since the meeting
counts for anything Gary stands fair
chance Of beating McSwccncy in Sumter
county. COL Iloyt is by long odds the
favoritc in this city, and from what we
heard yesterday from men from all sec
tionS of the county his strength is fully
rs great in the county as it is in the town.
Many men predict that he will receive
more votes in this county than all the
other candidates combined, and while
we regard this Us an over estimate we
have no doubt he will lead by some hun
dfcd votes. Patterson ..a% some friends
here and they and those whose always
enjoy seeing the candidates scrap,
whoOped him up for all they were worth,
but noise don't elect, and when the votes
are counted he will not feel as proud OF
his Sumter supporters as he appeared to
be after the meeting. In our opinion
Patterson is injuring McSwccncy without
helping his own cause materially, while
loyt and Gary arc gaining strength daily.
The open blind tigers in Charleston and
Columbia are to the minds of many pco
pie convincing that GOV. McSwccncy has
failed to enforce the law, and when t,
this is added the often made and never
liSpr0vcd assertion that Charleston Will
300 blind tigers is solid for MCSwccnrN
there is no power on earth to make them
believe that MCSwccncy and the blind
tigers have no: made Il deal. Whitman
will not cut any figure in the primary
but he makes charges that arc hard
to answer and here again Me
Sweeney is the sufferer. All things con
sidcrcd, McSwccncy is having Il har,
road to travel with Patterson, Gary an,
Whitman all attacking his record il
Office and bidding for the diSpcnSarN
vote, while lIoyt has not only the Who'll,
prohibition strength at his back, but alSt
the support Of all who believe that he i!
the best man in the race on account o
his high personal character, his wei
known ability and the conhdcnc that i
he is elected the laws will bc wisely
justly and fcarlcsSly enforced. Sumtc

TiIIman and the Dispensary.

Everybody in the State knows how
Senator Tillman stands on the dispcn-
Sary question. Now the interesting
question is, will he take the stump to
save il from impending defeat He has
no opposition, the people are satisfied
with his course in the United States Sen
ate. but will he throw the weight of his
influence into the state campaign to save
that political child Of his, the diSpcn-
Sary? 1t is said he will wait until the
first primary is over and then, if he
should see the diSpcnSary in the throcs
Of defeat, he i'll take the stump for the
candidate who favorS the diSpcnSary and
who may be in the second race with Col.
Ilnyt. The race for Governor may vet
be the liyclicSt one since 1892 The
campaign has been dull with very little
animation To stir up the candidates and
things are moving just now that the
quarter stretch will be an exciting one.
Neither Prohibition nor DiSpcnsary will
triumph in this campaign without a hard
tight. Friends of Senator Tillman be-
licvc that he should stay out Of the
state campaign, but Tillman does not
always take what his friends believe and
advise as his idea Of the proper thing to
do, and away he goes following nobody
but Tillman, and the remarkable thing
is that he has never made blundcr
from which he did not recover. Green
