Noise and Buster.

The action Of Governor McSweeney
in nipping in the bud the demoraliza-
ton incident to a campaign that would
be waged for the purpose Of proving
that Senator Tillman is the keeper Of
the minds and consciences Of the peo-
pie of South Carolina, will meet the
hearty approval of all citizens whose
patriotism exceeds their love of turmoil
and strife.
Notwithstanding his demagogic pro-
testations to the contrary, most people
of reasonable intelligence will concede
that Senator Tillman's object in going
to Gaffney was not to defend principles
that he claims to uphold himself; but
because of his anticipations as to what
will be the fate of his hitherto undis-
puted leadership in South Carolina, If
the people once get fair comprehen-
sion of the doctrines that are now being
so ably expounded by his former lieu
tenant and present rival, Senator Nc
Laurin.
The developments at Gaffney and
since, are all in accordance with we'll
established laws Of human nature.
Most men Of ability have a tendency
to underestimate the strength of their
opponents. Some men become so arro-
CANT as to absolutely despise all oppo-
sition. When such men are rudely
awakened to a realization of the mis-
takes along this line, it is their tenden-
cy to fly to pieces in impotent rage.
Senator Tillman went to Gaffney with
the idea that he was going to squelch
Senator McLaurin as easily as if the
latter were fly, and so completely up
set was he at his failure, that it will
be weeks probably before his equilibri-
um is fully restored.
In refusing the ill-considered resig-
nations Of the two United States sena-
tors, Governor McSweeney acted with
wisdom and judgment that do full
credit to the high position he holds
He no doubt recognizes the full import
ance of the issues at stake; but he has
no inclination to permit settlement of
those issues by means of another stam-
nede of passion and prejudice. Which
ever side Of the question he takes him
self. he will not willingly allow the peo-
pie to be driven into snap judgment
Unlike Senator Tillman, he evidently
believes the Democratic voters Of the
state may be safely trusted to dispose
of the impending questions at the
proper time.
The reasons given by Governor Nc
Sweeney for returning the designations
of the senators for further considera-
ton are good. Whether he has the
right to decline the designations, we do
not know; but that is immaterial. He
does not have to accept them before
September Is, unless they be made per-
emptory and imperative, in which case
the governor is reported to have said
that he will accept them at once, and
appoint successors in q minutes.
In view of the fact that there was
more or less bluff in the rendering of
the designations, it Is natural that
there should be great deal Of bluster
about the governors refusal to accept
them; but this will not deceive any
body. The public has sense enough to
know that both senators have a right
to be pleased under the circumstances,
and the one that tries the hardest to
show that he is not pleased, will only
show the greater dishonesty.

That is important information that
the town council is giving today about
town taxes.
1t would seem that along about now
is a pretty good time to purchase har-
vesting machinery.
EAccording to the record kept by
/Mr. J. r. Schorb, voluntary weather
observer, the rainfall for May was
500 inches.
The street tax this year will only be
81. The town council is satisfied that
it cannot impose larger tax without
violation of the law.

Yes, August Flower still has the
largest sale of any medicine in the
civilized world. Your mothers and
grandmothers never thought of using
anything else for Indigestion or Bilious
ness. Doctors we're scarce, and they
seldom heard OF Appendicitis, Nervous
Prostitution or Heart Failure, etc, They
used August Flower to clean cut the
system and stop fermentation Of un-
digested food, regulate the action OF
the liver, stimulate the nervous and
organic action Of the system, and that
il all they took when feeling dull and

Don't pet an animal one time and

Don't boast of your friends wealth
