A BIT OF PAST RECORD.

The Demo-Siver Fusionists have
held turbulent conferences termina-
ting in the selection of mixed Demo-
Mugwump- Silver Goldbug layout for
place. The platform forward and
aft is an admixture of verbiage. Its
candidate for governor, though a
respectable man, taxpayer and mil
lionaire- the best man they could
have selected-is in bad company
and will be defeated. He possesses
the distinction of being gold-bug
Mckinley Democrat, of which many
were in evidence during the last
campaign. He takes no stock in the
paramount dead issue, nor the doc
trine of imperialism. He is home
ruler; a staunch believer in Nevada
for Nevadans. He is lover of
thoroughbreds. and it is surprising
that he should be found in this bunch
of renegades, who are simply out for
place.
The Silver party grand-stand con
tains the following
We favor the protection Of labor unions IN
every lust right and such legislation as will
make eight hours a lawful days work.
The Democratic side walk contains
this;
We pledge our candidates for the legislature
to the passage OF an eight.hour law applicable
D. all labor in the mines, mills, smelters and
other works for reducing or refining ores aId TO
extend such laws to other classes OF labor so lar
as Il can be made 20 apply.
We remember that the Demo
Silver combination at its biennial
conventions has repeatedly so de-
clared; and Notwithstanding their
absolute control of the executive and
legislative departments of our state
government they have hopelessly
failed and refused to deliver the
goods.
Assembly bill No. II, AN act to
regulate the hours of labor in all
public works, mines, smelters, etc, "
better known as the "Dooley eight
hour law" was defeated by the
Silver party assembly on Feb
ruary Ii, 1899.
The Burke bill, another eight-hour
law, AN act regulating the hours OF
employment in underground mines,
passed the assembly of 1901, every
Republican member voting for it
was transmitted to the senate and
referred to the committee on mines
and mining, of which Senator Bell OF
Nye was the chairman. This Demo.
| cratic committee violated the pledge
of the party platform by reporting
unfavorably on the bill, with the
recommendation that it do not pass.
And on February 10, 1901, the bill
was defeated by the Democratic
Silver senate.
Party platforms, pledges and
promises do not count with this office,
seeking party, which for the past
decade has made a political ot-bal
of silver in order that they might be
permitted to feast at the public crib

Captain De Lamar is the hero of a
sad tale OF bad luck as lurid as any
story of bonanza kings. When Tono-
pah was discovered he sent his best
expert to see the camp with view
to buying everything good in sight,
and the expert turned it down. The
millionaire lost Tonopah and Tono-
pah's destiny was profoundly chang
ed. At least, that's the story

RURAL MAIL BOXES.

The postofnce department has finally
disposed of the rural delivery mail box
question by an order which prescribes
the style of box that may be used IN
the service. This question has been
before the department for several years
and has caused much discussion. The
salient provisions of the order are us
follows: Each person desiring the rural
free delivery service must erect at his
own cost and in the manner prescribed
by the regulations Of the department.
a box complying with the following
specifications:
All square or oblong boxes shall be

riveting to the edges band iron or
steel at least one-sixteenth Of an inch
in thickness and at least half an inch
in width by wiring with at least No. III
gauge wire.
Circular, semi-circular or rounding
boxes shall be made of not less than "
gauge iron or steel. provided, however,
that should boxes be made Of black
iron or steel and galvanized after they
are made, they shall not be made of
lighter than "a gauge. Circular. semi
circular or rounding boxes shall have
the openings made so that there shall
be no unsupported edges: and edges
must be strengthened by either CORFU
eating, bending, curling or wiring with

AN Associated Press dispatch of Mon
day, from Oyster Bay, L. l., brings the
information that Senator John L. Nc
I.aurin has declined the presidents Of
fer of an appointment to the vacant
judgeship on the court of claims. The
dispatch does not give great many de-
tails; but intimates that the president
was very anxious for Senator McLau-
rim to accept the position, and that
there was no reason to believe that
Senator Tillman's opposition would
count for anything against his confir-
nation. Senator McLaurin has given
in letter his reasons for declining, but
the letter is not published. 1t is stated,
however, that he did not care to put
himself in the position of. even appear
ing to have sold his principles for re-
ward. To arrive at the real facts about
this appointment is difficult. 1t will be
remembered that it was once stated as
a fact that Senator McLaurin was after
Judge Simonton's job. The senator, sc

dignified the accusation with a public
denial: but he assured his personal
friends that there was no truth in it.
Next, his newspaper enemies asserted
as fact that he was to be appointed
Il member of the Philippine commits
sion, and candidates flocked to Column
bia in drovcS to secure appointment as
his successor. The senator assured his
intimate friends that although he had
been offered a place on the Philippines
commission, he had never dreamed of
taking it or any other place that would
remove him from South Carolina. Next
in connection with the movement by
which Senator McLaurin was forced
out of the race for reelection, was

THERE is an element Of mystery about
the story in which it is alleged that
Colonel Talbert took Colonel Tillman's
mail from the Pickens postoftice, and
people do not understand it. People
are not ready to believe that Colonel
Talbert could be guilty of such trick,
and they are puzzled to know what he
could want with Colonel Tillman's mail
even If he could be guilty of taking it.
But while both Colonels Tillman and
Talbert claim that they have been mis-
represented, there is evidently some
foundation for the story that was sent
out by the correspondent Of the Green
vile News. Otherwise there would be
no reason for Colonel Tillman's call for
a government inspector to investigate
the matter. Probably the whole trouble
grew out of some unfortunate misun-
derstanding: but in justice to all con-
cerned it is hoped that the matter will
be speedily cleared up.

Mr.. A. c. Latimer says that the tar
iff is a rather dangerous issue to mon
key with at this time. and as a reason
for his assertion calls attention to the
fact that as the result of tariff reduc-
ton during Cleveland's administration,
it became necessary to issue bonds to
the amount Of $26O,0OU,O0O. That is
hardly the whole story: but there Is
good deal in the point that Mr.. Lati-
mer makes. Not only did the country,
as a whole, suffer on account Of the un-
fortunate Wilson bill, but the Demo-
cratic merchants of the south received
the most stunning financial blow that
had previously come their way since the
war. The tariff question is one which
should be approached with exceeding
care.

With good rains throughout the
county generally, Yorkville and vicin-
ity have been suffering until Sunday
afternoon when there came a shower
that served to lay the dust and cool

enough rain, however, to be Of a great
deal Of practical benefit.
when plans now we'll underway are
completed, the Victor Cotton OIL COM

convenient ginning plant that has ever

in a large two-story iron-clad, frame
building. The plant Is to be equipped
with what is known as the Murray
pneumatic system and is to be driven
by a 57-horse power engine. The plant
will easily be able to gin and pack SO
bales Of cotton in day Of IL hours, or
100 bales every "a hours. The ginnery
will be ready for business at the open
ing Of the coming season.

STATE CAMPAIGN NOTES.
What the Candidates For Office Are
Saying and Doing.

What the Candidates For once Are
Saying and Doing.
Mr.. George Johnstone gave Mr.. Lat
inner a round rasping at Hampton the
other day, charging him with having
been in Columbia eIectioneering among
the delegates to the state convention at
the time he claims to have delivered IN
the house a speech against ship SUBJ
sidy. According to Mr.. tombstone, the
speech which is being circulated whole
sale under Mr.. Latimer's frank. bears
delusion and fraud on its face. Mr..
Latimer explained that he arose to de-
liver the speech. but was cut short be-
cause his remarks were not germane
TO the subject under consideration, and
the speech was printed with leave.
Referring to Mr.. Hemphills claim
that he led the fight against the force
bill, Mr.. Johnstone points out that he
was not successful in the house. and
compares Mr.. Hemphill to the ignorant
Negro fireman who claimed to have
saved the boiler from bursting because
he blew the whistle.
Mr.. John Gary Evans continues to
urge his claim to election because he
was the first to charge Senator Nc
Laurin with Republicanism and be-
cause events have justified his claim.
Mr.. Latimer said at Hampton. that
he had a hand in getting the $l6O,OOO
appropriation for Charleston. but does
not claim all the credit. He Is reported
to have talked at Charleston as If he
had done 1t all.
At Beaufort, the other day, the crowd
gave the senatorial candidates to un-
derstand that it cared nothing for force
bill, ship subsidy or anti-expansion
talk; but wanted to hear only Of the
improvement Of Port Royal harbor.

tative Of nothing especially beyond the
more or less selfish desire to win the
honor Of going to the legislature or OF
enjoying the small salary connected
with the office. the principle seems to
be pretty nearly the same.
There should be some better way OF
selecting representatives. I would no,
like to see our present primary system
interfered with. There are things
about 1t that recommend 1t to Demo
Gratis. I would deplore the adoption OF
the convention system pure and simple
because the tendency would be to put
us more than ever under the domination
of the politicians. But, it occurs to me
that the two ideas might be mixed
with advantage, and I would like tc
throw out a little suggestion. How
would it do to have a rule that would
require county conventions to nominate
at least eight suitable men for the gen.
eral assembly-conscript them, so tc
speak, and then leave the field open te
llC oS liO" 49, oSSAAA-
to ME that under a regulation Of this
kind the convention could be depended
upon to name us good men. With sucf
endorsement to begin with, these mer
could hardly refuse to allow the people
to select between them, and then agair
there would be nothing to prevent vol.
unteers from submitting their claims.
AS to whether there are any sins Of
commission to be charged against oul
present representatives I am unable tt
say; but there is much complaint about
the sin Of omission in allowing the roat
law to get into the shape 1t now Is
Maybe they could not have helpee
themselves; but whether they could OF
not, so far as have seen, not one o.
them ever called attention to the mat
ter while it was under discussion. MeI
of experience and capacity would no
have committed a blunder like this
But after all these representatives art
not to blame and no blame should bt
visited upon them. The fault lies will
our volunteer candidate system ant
consequently with the people.
In conclusion, I want to say tha
in York county there are plenty of mer
of fitness and capacity to make credita
BILE representatives in the legislature
but as a rule such men are not going t.
volunteer their services without some
encouragement from neighbors ant
friends, and until the people, as
whole, begin to look after their inter
ests better, they will not deserve any
better representation than they have
been having. OBSERVER.
