The county campaign meetings
begin at Pinewood on the 17th inst.
and they continue from day to day
until they wind up. We hope that
at each of them the people will give'
the candidates respectful hearings
and that each candidate will be ques
tioned on matters concerning the
office to which he aspires.
The principal candidates to ques
tion are those running for the Leg
islature, and right here we would say
that each man aspiring to that hon
orable place should be a man of in
telligence with fixed views and suf
ficient ability to advocate his views.
%e fact of ama saying he favors a
thing which he believes is popular
will not do; he should be made to
give his reasons in order that the peo
ple can judge whether the man
nows what he is talking about.
A candidate running for the Leg
slature says he favors the free coin
age ofsilver. Well, that is a poplar
sheme, but how in the name of
sense can he bring about free coinage~
in our State Legislature. We need
representatives who are familiar with
the needs of the people's local affairs,
the State educational system, the
aount of money it takes to.. run the
county, the amount necessary to be
levied for the payment of county ex
pnses debts etc.
A man stands up before the people
and advocates reduction. Make that
man show how the reduction is to
come about, and when the reduction
is made that it is sufficient to run
tings efficiently. When a merchant
wants a book-keeper he is not going
to put out the job to the lowest bid
der; he will look for accuracy. A
frmer who wants a horse will look
fr the one to do his work, not for
something he can buy for one-half
prie. The people must not be ca
joled into voting for men on clap
tap; they have a right to require
a an to specify and they should see
tha he does it.
In voting for county officers, by all
means size the candidate's qualifica
tions and not his agility in stirring
around shaking hands and "settin'
them up" to two-fers, jokes and drag
ging down his opponient. We have
important offices to fill and thes of
fices come in direct contact with the
people; their lands are there assessed;
their titles are recorded; the proper
ty of every man in the county is at
stake; the liberty and protection of
he mmunity are to be looked af
te.; ou schools, roads, and otherj
very important matters that the peo
ple are directly interested in will be
voted for this time, and we ask that
each and every voter make an inves
tigation for himself, and then vote
without prejudice or favoriteism.
Let qualification, ability and integri
ty be the ruling elements in this elec
tion,
Son-in-law-Duncan and Pa-pa-in
law-Tompkins have not figured very
extensively the past few meetings.
There is one thing that can not be
taken from Duncan-cheek. At one
of the meetings he asserted "if Evans
had more brothers this would be an
Evans' government." Governor
Evans has no brother holding an
office, but Duncan has two. He is
Pa-pa-in-law-Tompkin's chief clerk,
for which the State pays a salary. He
has also assumed the position of de
tective to shadow Governor Evans,
the pay may come from Mixson with
the enemies of the Reform movement.
Then Mr. Duncan has a brother in
the Secretacy of State's office, and
another brother on the constabulary
force, which shows conclusively that
it is the Duncans and Lot the Evans'
who are trying to capture the govern
ment; just think of it, father-in-law,
two brothers and himself drawing
money from the people and still he
is not happy. Duncan harps on
Evans being a lawyer and he asks
the farmers if they are going back on
their preaching, meaning that the
farmers are opposed to lawyers in
office. Why, Duucan is a lawyer and
a fresh picked one at that; from his
speeches and conduct he was picked
rather green and he will never devel
ope. All of the candidates for the
United States Senate are lawyers and
when Duncan abuses lawyers the peo
ple must surely think that it is a
filthy bird which befouls its own nest.
If Judge Earle is not the candidate
of The News and Courier, why is it
that its headline writer will not be
fair and impartial. The reporter in
reporting the Winnsboro' meeting of
yesterday showed a disposition to be
fair to Governor Evans, but the head
lines of the account are so deceiving
that itis enough to disgust the reader.
The reporter gives Governor Evans
credit for doing all in his power to
make his friends be quiet that his
oppo:ents might have a respectful
heaing; this was too much for the
Nws and Courier, so when the re
port reached their office the headline
writer worked in his juggling busi
ness to deceive the people and to
gain votes for its candidate Judge
Earle. Such are the tactics of the
newspaper that will not advise its
readers to vote the Democratic na
tional ticket and the newspaper ad
vocating the interests of the gold-bugs.
Our readers will remember that it is
charged the gold-bugs are fighting
Evans, and the News and Courier
seems to be backing Earle to do the
fighting in their interests.
Every day the prospects .for the
election of Bryan and Sewall grow
brighter and if the cause continues
to grow, it would surprise us very
much if the Democracy fail to win in
New York, Indiana, Michigan and
llnois. Thousands of life-long Re
publicans are leaving their party to
help along the cause of silver, and in
many instances whole townships in
former Republican strongholds have
come over. Whenever a large bank
er or speculator quits the Democratic
party it opens the eyes of farmers,
and laborers and they come to the
conclusion that there is something in
the assertion, that the issue this year
is ot so much a party one, as it is
one between wealth and existance.
We have are not now, nor have we
ever been in perfect harmony with
the political utterances of the Colum
bia State,but in the present financial
fight we are heart and soul with it.The
State has done a large amount of
good work for the silver cause, and
its editorials on matters of finance
are certainly the ablest we have read
anywhere. They are clear and in
cisive, the humblest reader can un
derstand them. We mention our ap
proval of the State's course specially,
because it deserves it, and we hope
every reader in the State will take
advantage of its campaign offer,which
will give the people cheap, entertain
in and instructive reading.
From what the Laurens Silver
Democrat says we judge that Senator
Irby intends to give Governor Evans
a hot time in Laurens next Saturday.
Senator Irby has been out in the back
woods of his county making speeches
and marshalling his forces to be in
Laurens to howl down Evans. If
that game is attempted we hope the
Governor will have a sufficient num
ber of friends present to see that he
is given a fair opportunity to make
his speech and we also hope that if
his opponents undertake any of their
harassing tactics that he will treat
them with the contempt that such
conduct deserves.
Judge Earle said in one of his
speeches that Governor Evans was a
copartner with Rhind in the bond
deal, because he is to participate in a
fee that comes out of the commis
sions. Surely the learned judge does
uo believe that gettingz a fee for
-ervices rendered creates a copartner
ship, if he does and it is true, the
avery murderer, or thief defended in
the courts by Earle, was his part net
If a lawyer is made a copartner whi
ever he receives a fee then he should
also be tried for the crime his partner
ks charged with.
The gold standard Democrats are
in a bad way, they know there is no
chance for them to stand before the
arguments of the silver men, and they
do not fancy the idea of helping to
fasten McKinleyism on themselves.
If they go fishing on election day, the
loyal Demociats will never forgive
them; if they support an independen
ticket they can not win and -they
know it, and they will be treated in
the nation as were the Haskellites in
this State.
Our brilliant Congressman John L.
McLaurin has covered himself with
glory in the great West. In Congress
he made a national reputation by
tackling some of the ablest gold
standard advocates, and now he is
adding fresh laurels to his crown of
glory by going right into the hot-bed
of Republicanism to beard the lion in
his den.
We predict that Judge Earle and
Duncan together will not poll 300
votes in Clarendon and that their
combined vote in the State will not
exceed 15.000.
Every fence straddling newspaper
in the State is now advocating Judge
Earle for the Senate. "Birds of a
feather will flock together."
FINANCIAL CATECHISM.
By an Old-Time Republican.
1. What is bimetallism ?
A. The equal legal treatment of
the two metals, gold and silver, as
money, at a given ratio of coinage.
2. What is meant by 16 to 1?
That in coining the two metals in
to money 16 oz. of silver are to be
deemed equal to one oz. of gold.
3. What is the present commercial
ratio of silver and gold bullion ?
It is about 30 to 1.
4 What bas caused the divergence
between the coin and bullion value
of silver?
The demonetization of silver in
1873 by the country and some of the
nations of Europe.
5. Why was silver demonetized?
It was demonetized because of the
desire to limit the supply of money,
make money dearer, thus increase its
purchasing power, and therefore to
the advantage of money dealers,
bond-holders, creditor classes and
those having fixed incomes.
6. Was'not the demonetization of
silver in 1873 due to its over pro
duction as compared with gold ?
It was not due to the over-produac-j
tion of silver, because (a) for many~
years prior to 1873 the world's pro
duction of gold had seen about
three times as great as that of silver,
and (b) in 1873 silver bullion was at
a premium of 3 per cent. over gold.
7. How does the world's produc
tion of gold and silver for the last
100 years compare with each other ?
Between the years of 1792 and
1892 the world's production of gold
exceeded that of silver about 600 mil
lion dollars.
8. What is the ratio of the two
metals as they exist by weight in the
world to-day (available for money)?
It is about 15 2-3 to 1, which means
that there are only about sixteen
times as many tons of silver in the
world available for money as there
are tons of gold.
9, What, therefore, is the natural
ratio between silver and gold?
Sixteen to 1 is the natural ratio be.
tween silver and gold bullion and
would manifestly be the pr esent comi
mercial ratio had not there been
legal interference.
10. To whose advantage is it that
nations have been induced to adopt
the gold standard?
To the advantage of all creditor
nations, especially England. Two
hundred million people now use gold
alone as redemptive money who in
1873 used both gold and silver; hence
the constant rise in the power of
gold (and money based on gold),
"which rise shows itself in the fall of
prices of commodities.
11. If we had free coinage of silver
would not this country become the
"dumping ground" for silver from all
nations?
There are, it is supposed, about
four billion dollars of silver coin and
bullion in the world, and if all of this
should come here it would only give
thi United States a per capita of
about $58, which is only a little more
than we had of all kinds of money in
the North at the close of the war
when times were exceedingly pros
perous. France to-day has nearly
this amount of money per capita, and
is one of the most prosperous coun
tries in the world.
12. What is there to prevent this
silver from coming to our mints for
coinage?
There are three conclusive reasons:
(a) Other nations have no more sil
ver than they need; (b) Europe an
nualy uses about twice as much sil
ver as she produces, and (c) the great
bulk of the silver now in existence is
already coined at ratios more favor
able to silver than 16 to 1, some be
ing 15 to 1 and some 15-12- to 1.
13. If silver coin should not come
to our mints for recoinage would
not Europe continue as at present to
depress the price of silver bullion?
North and South America produce
75 per cent of all the silver now being
produced in the world and ten times
as much as Europe does, so that the
United States and other countries of
the western continents could easily
control the price of silver bullion re
gardless of other nations.
14. Why not put more silver in
our silver dollar so as to make the
bullion and face value equal?
Because this disagreement is due
to adverse legislation, which, when
corrected, will restore the parity by,
reucn the demand for gold and.
increasing the demand for silver. Be
sides we would be foolish to under
value our own products. By rights
wO should demand 15 1-2 iustet:i of
1) to 1.
15. If silver should come to our
mints for coinage inaier than their
presenft capacity, would not that pre
vent the full rise in the price of sil
ver bullion?
The capacity of our mints c ould
easily be enlarged to meet all de
mands.
1;j. Will not the people ubject to
using so unch silver o,, account ,f
its bulk?
Silver certi3':te, as now used. 'sill
easily float all t:eo silver that mav- be
preserted.
17. Woold the: b vault room.
the storage of soiimch silver?
Al! the sil-er c('ir. .,1n bullion. In
world could be put i a room t
six feet squa: a(nd s -six feet high,
silver being like gold. a reciaus
metal, all the gold coin and bullion 4u
the werid.l ca'n be put in a rcom
twe.ty-to fecd square 'Md twenty
two feet high, -which sl-owsh'>v easily
it mayv be "cornered."
18. Woudi :ot iho free coiuoge of
silver s:.' stiIIulaIC the production at
the mine, as to ereate a flood of the
whi t;- ?
T'f'. annual output of gold and sil
ver 4 small and is ha-rdly 5 per cent
of tl e present sup)ply, so that it would
take twenty years before the present
amount of the metals is doubled, and
that would not more than keep pace
with the increase of the population
and wealth of the world, and espec
ially not of the U. 8.
19. What then is really the only
problem that we as a .uation have to
solve regarding the free coinage of
silver?
We have practically only to take
care of and absorb our share of the
annual production of silver, which is
for the whole world only about 5 per
cent of the present available supply.
To be continued.'
SEED COTTON LAW.
Panola, S. C., Aug. 4, 1896.-Mr.
Editor: I am glad that in your issue
of the 29th, you called the attention
of the candidates for the legislature,
to the seed cotton license, which as
you say it is a farce. The law re
quires a license, registry of names,
weights, and of whom bought. Pur
chaser allowed only certain hours of
the day and not at night. Now these
stipulations are so seldom regarded
that not one would go to a country
store to try to trace tip seed cotton
which he may have Lad stolen. A
citizen who boys a license, in the
hurry of business, i: tempted to
ignore the law, and :o weights or
names of whom bo-.ght is kept.
If I am not mistakeni, the law re
quires a very stringent petitiou for
license. Applicants must come up to
a high standard of citizenship and
must be recommended by ten free
holders in his immediate neighbor
hood. Any ten neas is not which
is required, but owners of real prop
erty. The business induces wrong
in various ways. ro say nothing of
thefts from the fieil, or cotton under
lien. The business of seed cotton
traffic is really played out with the
whites and is carried on illictly by
others among thenaselves. I would
like to see the law so changed as to
prohibit the sale of seed cotton, say
until the fifteenth of December at
least. I believe it woald be to the
advantage oif both- producer and
merchaut. My section is decidedly
in favor or abolishing ihe seed cotton
traffic and would like to k-now from
candidates when the7 attend cam
paign appointments their opinions.

The National Campamgn now i-ecmn will

William J. Bryan, will take the flag of
Free Silver in to the very citadels of Gold,
and from first to last the struggle will be
sensational. There will not be a dull week
from now until November.
THE STATE
is the leading South Carolina newspaper
supporting the national Domocratie ticket
and the national Democratic platform. It
is the admitted champion of the great issue
of Bimetallism, upon which the battle will
be fought. It has always been a good
newspaper, and will be better than ever
during this struggle. It wil :keep the peo
ple of South Carolina closely informed of
the progress and prospects of the camn

THE ADVANTAGES OF A
HOME MARKET.
If our farmer friends will
think for a moment they can
soon see the advantage of hav
ing a market near them. In
the first place they can save
considerable in a season in
time alone, and as "time is
money," time saved is money
made. In the second place, a
market near home is conven
ient because farmers can easi
lv receive information as to
prices, best time for selling,
&c.
Then, another advantage is
knowing the men with whom
you deal. Farmers know
better the men with whom
they have been dealing, and
if their business have been of
long standing, there is a mu
tual confidence existing which
makes it more pleasant for
home folks to deal with each
other. In fact, there are m=ny
reasons why farmers should
assist in building a home mar
ket. Manning will try hard
to build up a first-class tobac
co market. Let the farmers
co-operate with the men who
expect to work for their in
terest.
Tobacco men of experience
tell us that it is quite impor
tant that farmers should as
sort and tie their tobacco as
soon after curing as possible.
Remember, too, that it is nec
essary that care should be
taken in the work, and farm
ers who have no experience in
grading tobacco should seek
the advice and help of some
one who knows how it ought
to be done.
The Clarendon Tobacco
Warehouse and Supply Coin
paiy have received the ser
vices of Col. G. E. Webb, of
Winston, N. C., to assist them
in organizing and starting the
market. Col. Webb has more
than twenty years' experience
in the warehouse business and
is now connected with the
largest tobacco warehouse in
the Old North State. It will
be remembered by many of
the farmers in this section
that Col. Webb started the
Timmonsville market last
year. He is said by all to
bacco men who know him to
be the best tobacco auctioneer
in the world.
T he Clarendon T ob ac eo
W arehouse Co., have decided
to have their opening sale Fri
day, Augusb 2 1st. Farmers will
do well to remember this date,
and to bring a load of good to
bacco on that day.
