For several weeks our good old friend

down the Rocky River some two weeks ago.

good old friend who has for years written
with the regularity of the passing week. he
will confer favor by writing to the Press and

The Executive Committee.

We do not agree with the position Of the
Charleston Post and the Columbia Record In
reference to the statement OF Col. Jones. The
editorials In the State take substantially the
same ground as the Post and Record. though
expressed in different way, and possibly fol-
a different purpose.
The Press and Banner Is disposed to take
the statement of Col. Jones at its face value
We do not believe that Senator McLaurin
will be ruled off the track next year however
much a few individuals may be disposed To
do SO. The Committee cannot afford to be
partisan or unfair. Taking the Committee
at Col. JoneS's own estimate. they would
have no desire to commit an act which the
country would not and could not endorse.
The Committee, among other reasons, may
be depended upon not to lend themselves To
any body's scheme:
l. The natural impulse OF good men is 10
be fair and honest.
2 In the general chapter of accidents, hall
the members OF any Committee may be ex.
pected to be true TO their trust.
8. Even If the Individual members OF the
Committee we're prejudiced and disposed 10
crowd McLaurin to the wall, they could not
afford to do an act that would incur the dis
pleasure and bring down upon their own
heads the contempt OF honest and just men
in all parts Of the State.
4. II the Committee should excommuni-
cate McLaurin, they must, to be consistent
debsr many others from the privileges OF the
Democratic party.
5. Every white man In South Carolina
who claims to be Democrat and supports
the nominee Of the party, is practically a
Democrat.
8. The proposition to excommunicate Nc
Laurin because he does not approve ali the
populistic planks OF the Kansas City plat
form is retroactive. and he cannot lawfully
be punished for doing or thinking thing for
which no legal penalty was provided at the
time.
7. The Constitution OF the State provides
that no ex post facto law shall be passed.
OF course the Constitution ofthe State may
not govern the Democratic party. In that
case the Democracy may be above all law.
II that body next year proposes to pass law
which would make last years act amenable
TO law which was not then in existence, It
could do SO, with fatal political effect to the
actors.
s. Any idea that the right which was
granted to negroes to vote on the conditions
named Is not q precedent 1t was mere re-
ward for fidelity, which conferred upon them
privilege which they did not possess before.
Such right was conferred as an honor, or as
q mark OF distinction, and affords no preced-
ent for an excuse or pretext for excommuni-
eating lifelong Democrat because he differs
in opinion from others in the matter Of FORM
ing political platform. To deny freedom OF
thought and speech is to assume the role Of
master or dictator.

was somewhat delayed on this account.
There was much delay in getting to work at
the proper pace and the fire made great head

insufficient.

The Abbevlle Press and Ban ner suggests
that Senator McLaurin be required to swear
that his great grandmother had never had the

HOME AGAIN.
Return Of Mr.. j. G. Thomas, Formerly
OF LOwndesviIIe, this County. But
Now Of Pearl Mills, Ga.


Mr.. J. G. Thomas, of the Pearl Mill, in El.
bert County, Georgia, was In town one day
last week, and right glad were we to shak
his hand again. AS iron sharpeneth iron. so
doth the countenance of mans friend. Sey-
eral years ago Mr.. Thomas left Low ndesville
to take position in the company store for q
few mon tbs. and he has remained for years,
and we have no doubt that he will be there
the next time you hear from him.
He IL a great admirer Of the methods OF
Mr.. Swift, the owner of the Pearl Mill. He
thinks Mr.. Swift makes money whenever bis
wheels turn. And whether the price of cot
ton goes up or down, he generally iignts s on on
cents for his cotton: He saw the price goipg
down, and when It had fallen 67 points he
sold out his holdings. Later, he replaced the
cotton at IN cents.
The Pearl Mill, when the ordinary goods
are In slim demand, makes twiue or other
goods to meet the demand, and. 80 whatever
the condition of the markets. the Pearl Mill
usually comes out head.
The mill keeps company store, of which
Mr.. Thomas is In charge. A large and varied
assortment of goods is kept, and the profit
never falls 10 come.

Was FalsehOOd Intended ?

The State few days ago had something to
say OF "McLaurin organs" We have no
means Of knowing to whom that epithet was
applied, but in so far as 1t may have had re-
ference, II any at all, or was Intended to in.
clude the Press and Banner, 1t was untrue.
The Press and Banner would further assert
that newspaper which claims to be, or pre-
tends to be, leader Of public sentiment
should be truthful. Public opinion demands
fair play, even II the speaker entertain partl-
cular contempt for his less pretentious breth-
rem. And We would venture to predict, II
jury OF their coun trymen were empanelled TO
pass upon the comparative character OF the
State and the newspapers which support Nc
Laurin, that there is not one of the following
named newspapers which would have any
thing to lose. They no doubt stand as we'll at
their own homes as does the State In the city
OF Columbia. AS far as we know, not one OF
the McLaurin papers in this State has ever
sold, bartered, barsained or otherwise made
q deal, directly or indirectly, with any officer,
politician, or other person, for the modfica.

Demand for a Pure Democracy.

"This paper believes the Democratic party
In this State should amend the primary ma
chinery that none but Democrats can partici-
pate. We see no reason why Republicans,
anti-Bryan men, Prohibitionists, Johnnyites.
and hundred other "ites' should be allowed
to mix up In party primary and aid in af-
fecting the decisions Of that party TO bind
genuine ocrats."-Yorkville Yeoman.
The Yorkville Yeomsn, in the above para.
graph, solves the problem. There is nothing
like having pure Democracy, in which there
should be no division Of sentiment. When
every body thinks alike the millennium will
be in sight, and the way to bring the millen-
mum Ia to get unity OF sentiment and
oneness Of thought and interest. 10 secure
the absolute purity Of the Democratic party,
some men in South Carolina might favor the
following specifications In the oath:
SHOULD VOTE.
All Democrats or Tillmanites can vote.

indianapolis Journal.

indianapolis Journal.
A writer in one of the July magazines
saws 1.-THE pawning of new possessions for
money is the civilized method of breaking
up and conquering a weaker country.
Such ACQUISITION of territory does not at
tract so much attention as conquerlng
with armies, but it Is much cheaper and
more effective.
Today Persia is owned by Russia and
Great Britain because those Governments
have loaned it money and hold Its rail-
roads and chief industries as security. As
it can never pay the loans, Persia is en-
tirelv under the control of those two coun'
tries. Portugal is owned by Great Britain.
In South America the conquest of Govern
ments by loaning them money is steadily
going on. The Argentine Republic has
been sold to its European creditors, whom
it owes $500 900, 900, for the payment Of
which its railroads, mines and other pub
lie interests are pledged. Bolivia has bCT-
rowed all the money it can upon its natur-
al resources. In time it will cease TO be a
nation except in name.
1t was the knowledge that Cuba would
soon be mortgaged to European Govern
nIents which led the Republicans to pass
the platt amendment, which makes it i'm
possible for Cuba to borrow money or pay
the millions of alleged bonds issued by
Spain and the provisional governments OF
the reyolutIonists. Without such prohl'
bition and without the supervision of the
United States the untried rulers of Cuba
and the adventures who seek their own
advantage would soon have involved the
Independent government Of Cuba in debt
which would make it dependent upon the
Government whose people had purchased
the bonds of the Republic.
1t is probable that most of the Opposi'
ton TO the Plat amendment came lndl-
rectly from intriguers and spectators who
would have obtained practical control OF
the island by the mortgaging Of Its re-
sources to European money lenders. Be-
cause of the insistence of the President
and bis party in Congress, Cuba will not
be mortgaged Republic.

A WORTHY SUCCESSOR.
Something New Under The Sun"

All doctors have tried to cure CATARRH
by the use of powders, acid gases, inhaler
and drugs in paste form. Their powders
dry up the mucuOus membranes causing
them to crack open and bleed. The pow
erful acids used in the inhalers have en-
tirely eaten away the same membranes
that their makers have aimed to cure,
while pastes and Ointments can not reach
the disease. An old and experienced
practitioner who has for many years made
a close study and speciality of the treat
ment of CATARRH, has at last perfected
Treatment which when faithfully used,
not only relieves at once, but permanently
cures CATARRh, by removing the cause,
stopping the discharges, and curing all H.
hanation. 1t rs the only remedy known
to science that actually reaches the aiillct-
ed parts. This wonderful remedy Is known
as "SNUFFLES the GUARANTEED Ca
TARRH CURE" and is sold at the ex-
tremely low price of One Dollar, each

w. D. Wade in Rural World.
There is disposition to criticise farm
hired hands, which is to be deplored.
When lined up with an equal number of
farm owners and those who employ them,
they will make fair average. The per
cent of unworthy, dishonest and unreli-
able men among them will not exceed
those who follow other means of liveli'
hood.
A good manv years ago landlady said
to me, a comparative stranger, that she
liked the idea of regarding all men as
rogues and villains until they proved
themselves otherwise. l prefer to treat
my hands as honorable gentlemen until
they break my confidence. Some en-
ployers treat their hands as if they were
underlings. aim to put mine on an
equality with myself. pay the maximum
wages of our county, and am entitled to
the best hands in the county. My ex-
perience, covering twelve years, with
never less than one and generally two
regular hands, to whom furnish homes,
is that low priced man is the most eX-
pensive piece Of property l can handle.
