Nance loaned the Nard negro a
pistol with which to protect herself

Hite woman several days ago, and
the latter entered the grocery and
recognized the pistol as Nance's.
Saying she would return it to the
owner herself. she accompanied the
negro woman back home.
Nance was sitting in a room una
ware of any danger when the Hlte
woman opened fire. The bullet

whipped her and threatened to kill
her.
The bullet entered Nance's face
under the left eye and came out in
the back of the head, passing under

Hon. George B. Cortelyou sec.
retary of the treasury: whom the
anti-Roosevelt newspapers have
been endeavorlng to place in the
position of being in an intrigue
to use the appointive federal Off
ces to secure the republican NOM
ination for president, has issued
a signed statement; declaring
that he is not. and has not been
a candidate for the presidency,
and he alsodenies that his friends
have used their influence in his
behalf, that should ne become a
candidate he will frankly say so,
and give the reasons for his can
didacy. The statement has the
true ring of sincerity, and it will
have the effect Of putting the
manufactures of falsehood to
their trump's to find other mate
rial. The Cortelyou letter while
manly and sincere, will be re-
ceived throughout the country
with disappointment by many:
who, regardless of party afili-
ations look upon him as one of
greatest men of the age, and
would like to see him succeed
his Chief.

The cotton price prospect is
becoming brighter, as is eviden-
ced by the steadiness of the cot
ton goods market. Those in
close touch with the situation
are convinced that as soon as
confidence is fully restored and
the hoardings Of the stampeded
money savers is returned to the
banks, cotton will reach a price
beyond the expectations Of those
who have been standing out for
a high price. The money scare
has effected all of the manufac-
turing industries to the extent;
that many of them have closed
down and their laborers are out
of employment, others are run
ming on shortened time, but as
soon as matters reach a normal
condition which we confidently
look forward to, unless dema-
gogueS IN congress bring ABOUT
another scare by their insane at.
tacks upon all manner of money
creating industries. If the po-
litical capital.makers, the crea-
tors ofissues which appeal to the
ignorant prejudices of the un-
thinking, and socialistic masses
can be choked down, the country
will return to it's normal reason,
and business will once more re-
sumo the even tenor of its way.
The present conditions are un-
natural, the country was never
more prosperous, and yet, in the
very midst of an unprecedented
prosperity, on account of the bad
conduct of a few, confidence is
shaken, and a semi-panic is the
result.

CONSTRUCT DO ROT oBsTRUCT.

Senator Tillman hoped on to
the administration Monday with
one Of his characteristic spec
ches. He plunged his pitchfork
deep into the bowels of the f.
nancial department to dig up and
expose the methods of the ad-
ministration in flying to.the re-
lief of Wall street when the d
nancial furry began, the Senator
admits he has given no study 10
finance, his own labors in tha5
direction having been connneo
to nv own expenses, and ne
might had added that it was un'
necessary to worry about his
own expenses until the Hepburn
rate bill became law. There
is not enough of the senator's
speech reported in the press dis
patches to judge Of its merits,
but the inquiry he is demanding
should be made, unless the agl-
tation is likely to intensity the
present lack of confidence which
is gradually being restored, we
agree with the senator's view
that handouts should be put on
the wrists of these frenzied f.
nanciers, but such characters are
usually shrewd enough to dodge
prisons walls; they manage to
keep their secrets until opportu-
nifty comes along to bury them
with the dead.
The senator ridicules the issu-
ance of clearing house certit-
Gates, and there is much in his
contention, these issues have no
doubt given considerable relief,
but in our Judgment the govern
ment alone should have theright
to issue them. The calling at.
tention to the management ot
the financial branch of the gov
ernment may result IN good and
we hope South Carolina's senior
senator will empty his pockets
of the rocks he has been BOAST
ing of, and go to work to con.
struct a firm financial system.

The National Democratic Con

The National Democratic Con-
vention which will. by acclama-
ton nominate William Jennings
Bryan for president, will assem-
BILE in Denver. There is very
grave doubt of any Democrat
being able to win the presidency
but in our opinion William Jen-
nings Bryan will have a larger
vote polled for him than any
other mar the party can put
forward. The difference in the
policies Of Roosevelt and Bryan
are very slight, but should the
democracy win, perhaps Bryan
will have influence enough with
some OF our southern statesmen
now making spectacles of them
selves, and bringing their States
into discredit to have them keep
quiet.

STAND PAT.

Hon. Cole L. Blease, of New
berry, has given out that he pro
poses to introduce at the coming
session of the General Assembly
bill to declare the State under
Prohibition, with a provision to
permit counties to vote a license
system, which if he succeeds,
would simply put one or two
counties in the State under a
license system-Charleston, and
Georgetown, with possibly Rich
land and Beaufort. Senator
Blease was the leader of the
State Dispensary forces last ses-
sion, and he made a very able
fight for his cause, but now that
the General Assembly is COM
mitted to the Carey-Cothran Act
we had hoped ti1c.. suoi men as
the Senator from Newberry
would be willing to let well en-
ough alone until the matter can
be pat before the people next
summer for their arbitration. In
our Judgment the cause Of tenn
perance will not be advanced by
changing the States present
policy. Under the present law
those counties unwilling to sell
LIQUOR, can be rid of it, therefore
we cannot see any need OF dis
turbing the present status at
this session. Let the question
20 to the people, and if they
want State Prohibition, a gen
eral assembly will be chosen to
carry out their wishes, but if
this legislature makes any radl-
cal change it will only create
confusion and make opportunity
for a very corrupting campaign
next summer. In the mean time
let Colonel Bleaseand his friends
aid in securing legislation which
will Investigate the conduct of
the State dispensary from it's
birth to it's death, and if it is a
fact that any man Or set of men
are guilty of wrong doing a way
