to see the farmers Of this coun-

Ages OF Stone und of Bronze.

Ages OF Stone nnd OF Bronze.
The transition from the stone age to
the bronze age can be read in the dis
closures Of the lake dwellers Of Swift
zerland This wonderful people lived
through the stone age and for long
ages continued on until they Tapped
over into the bronze age. Some Of their
settlements disclose only stone jnple-
ments, while others Of later date
show the bronze chisei, the bronze
winged hatchet, the bronze knife, the
hexagonal hammer, the tanged knife Of
ornamental design, the socket knife
and the bronze sickle. They show also
the bronze fshhook, barbed and in
exact similitude Of our present device.
The ornamental hatpin as now used,
together with other articles Of utility
and ornamentation, is plentiful. The
stone mold for casting the copper or
bronze hatchet is Of exceedingly ancient
date, but probably the use Of sand was
far more common, and hence we have
fewer traces Of that method.

The way of the transgressor is hard,
was demonstrated recently in New
York, when the son of Cyrus w. Field,
of Atlantic cable fame: was hauled up
before a magistrate charged with
stealing an overcoat. The young man
was left fortune by his father, but
being "a jolly good fellow" with host
of friends(?j he ran through his money,
friends deserted him, strong drink had
fastened it grip upon him, and he be-
came a tramp. When put in jail he
said ':these meals are a God send. "
Poor fellow, wealth, society and every
thing to make man happy was his
portion, but whiskey, at first was his
pleasure, it gave him and his friends
Joy, then the monster turned and his
cup of JOY was converted to one OF
wormwood and gall. In his prosperity
he had companions, but when in the
mire of degradation these companions
knew him not, and passed him by as
they would any other vagrant. This IS
only one instance in thousands, and yet
there are young men. possessed OF
sound mental faculties who know the
awful consequences OF whiskey, do not
seem to take warning, but 60 right on
defying the horrid monster.
1t is fearful to contemplate the num-
Der of young men whose loved ones are
devoted to them, that do not consider
for moment the heartaches their con-
duct brings. How many fond mothers
lay awake in their beds wondering
"where is my boy tonight while the
thoughtless one may be at that moment
imbibing in Jamaica Ginger. Peruna
or Whiskey, having hilarious time,
never once thinking of the awful con-
sequences to health. and character.
The fate OF young Field should be an
object lesson to young men all over the
land.

ORGANIZE.

The communication signed oc-
casional to which we referred
last week was accidentally left
out, and we did not know it un-
til after the paper was published.
It appears this week, and we
hope it will have effect of caus-
ing the farmers all over the
county to take similar action.
In number Of counties the or
CARNATIONS have been effected to
the extent that a State conven-
ton is calledto meet in Columbia
during the fair. There can be no
harm to anyone to have the
farmers organized to advance
their interests and wehope Clar-
endon will not lag behind in this
movement. The only thing in
the way Of success in organizing
the farmer, is the scuryey poll
tician, who forces himself in, be-
comes the loudest-mouthed man
of the concern, gets what he
wants, and then leaves the
farmer il the lurch. In our opin-
ion it would be wise to look out
for such barnacles and as fast
as they are discovered scrape
them off as you would an ulcer.
Farmers of Clarendon, you can
help yourself much by sensible
organization. not to make intoler-
ant demands, norto expectsome-
thing for nothing, but to market
your crops in a sensible and
businesslike manner. There is
no need in a half dozen profits
being made out OF your cotton
before it reaches the manufac
turer. Organization Will save
this to you, the same as organi-
zation saves to the merchant the
profits formerly paid to middle
men. The farmers Of Summer
ton have started out in the right
direction: they put their cotton
on the marketIon certain days:
in certain quantities, all OF you
can do the same and be benefited
They also will buy their fertili-
zers in large quantities and save
money by it, all of you can do

CAN THE DEMOCRATS WIN?

Now that the great National
contest is on, the prognostiga-
tors are making their estimates
of the strength Of both parties,
and the betting element is plac-
ing their money upon their fav-
orites. So far Roosevelt ap-
pears to be the favorite among
the bettings, at large odds, but
this is not always a sure sign,
for we remember in the Cleve-
land campaign the betting was
in favor Of Harrison, and Cleve-
land won in a landslide, and his
tory may repeat itself.
The election of this year will
be decided by the doubtful
States. It will take 2S9 votes to
elect, of these Parker is sure of
1872, and Roosevelt is equally
certain of 207. Parker to win
must get II votes from the
doubtful States. Those States
considered doubtful are Colo
rado, Connecticut, Delaware, In
diana, Montana, New York, New
Jersey, West Virginia. Utah and
Wisconsin; all of these States
went Republican four years ago,
and unless there is a landslide
the probability is that all of
them but New York and West
Virginia, will give their electoral
votes to the Republican candi-
date. 1t takes 259 votes to elect.
Parker is sure of 1852, and Roose-
velt is equally certain of 207. To
win Parker must get Il more,
and Roosevelt needs 81. New
York can give Parker its 80
votes and then he would have to
get 36 more, but if New York
gives Roosevelt it's vote he is
elected. It looks to US for Par
ker to win he must carry all OF
the doubtful States, which can
only come by a political revolu-
tor. We have very little conf
dence in the claim that Parker
will carry Indiana and Wiscon-
son, true Indiana has gone Dem
ocratic and so has Wisconsin,
but both of these States are the
benefciaries of high price wheat
and the farmers credit the ad-
ministration with bringing about
prosperity. Roosevelt's strength
in New York outside of the city
IS, conceded, but the hope of car
rying New York for the Democ-
racy is the tremendous majorl-
ty in the city, but when we con-
slider the tremendous vote poll
edin that city by the business
element, who are not anxious
for changes in the government
while business affairs. are in a
prosperous condition we cannot
bank too heavily on New York
casting it's vote for Parker, al
though Judge Parker is very
popular. In our opinion the
chances for a change of parties
are not as bright as some of the
enthusiastic newspapers try to
make it appear. The South, of
course will give it's solid strength
to Parker, but to Offset this
comes the West and the Eastern
States, many Of which have
large electoral votes, and it is
also our opinion that the Popu-
list party led by Watson will
take more votes away from Par
ker than from Roosevelt. The
only hope we can figure out lies
in breaking the Republican
strength in the West,

IT does not seem that the Mormons
are the only polygamists. The public
prints now relate that the Rev. Chas.
A. Lyons, who has posed both as a
Christian and Presbyterian pastor,
the past few years, at Pomeroy, this
State, and Sioux Falls, S. d., has four
living wives, and probably others un-
reported. His last victim is Miss Emma
Pervis, of Sioux Fally, to whom he
was married last October and who he
deserted in December. Her faith in
him was unimpaired until short time
ago, when she ascertained that there
were three other women who bad
successfully claimed the clerical scamp
as husband.

Glass Legislation,


Judge Rudkin, of North Yakima,

out 10y all persons doing business in

months therein. The matter came up
on the case of yender of vehicles. for
selling his wares without license.
The court says:
The constitution requires that acts
of this nature shall be equal and uniform
i'll their operation and to be valid must
be directed against the business to be
regulated and not against certain class
of persons engaged therein. This is
clearly a trade and not a police regula-

protection against the class of persons
or business methods described in this
act they must either refrain from trans
acting business in the same manner
