Liberal reduction made Tor large Ad 7erlisenionts. \ LAUREN8, 8. O., June 9.1896. In the primaries this year we are democrats. We are nothing more nor less. The Issues before us as demo crats are first, National. Primarily, as democrats we fight our old foe, the re publican party. The issue there is up on protection and a low tariff?an ex travagant and an economical national administration. This issue Is a cen tury old. This seems now howover to be of minor consideration?the money question rising up like a groat moun tain and overshadowing everything else. Parties may bo reorganized and wo must wait until the middle of July for the action of the Demooratlo conven tion before parties and the country can form any notion as to "whore they are at." Wo may havo our minds mado up?but the machinery may not ,be in working order to put our viows into operation. To illustrate?if tho Demo crats split at Chicago, and the Repub licans at St. Louis, a silver party may at once be formed of the old parties and likewise a gold single standard party of the friends of gold In these 'parties. This noooBsarlly side tracks the old issues upon which tho country has waged battle for a hundred years. So we wait. Then we vote at the primaries In August upon State Issues. As yet .none are formulated. The Roform "faction has It all its own way at pres ent upon no Issues but men. As to (State matters that faction, through the ring masters will agreo upon candidates without a platform or a policy and put up the slate, which is likely to go down as a pineapple bon-bon on a hot Juno afternoon. Gantt and Whitman may lustily kick with the plain result of brokon shins. So, as to State matters wo neod not bother as rauch as to brush away an annoying kousofly. All will bo arranged for us. Th's Is the prospsct as It now ap pears. I/, you can get In tho band wagon you may share In tho plums. In county matters thoro can be no issue llkowlee except as to men. There is nothing now apparant to bo deter mined In tho choice of representatives for the General Assembly or In tho choice of county officers except fitness. If the choice of United States Senator Is made at tho primaries -ikon thoro is now no issue except personal fitness upon which to choose our members of tho General Assembly. As to filling tho county oftloes', cer tainly there can bo no questions, but those of competency, charactor and rtesy. Then we OUghVto have a very genial, pleasant, harmonious settlement of all our home affairs. There shouhyj&JAL Stato and county affairs Implicit hon esty among ourselves and no slate mak ing. Tho office of Solicitor is puroly non polltlcal. Wo waiit in this office a law yer of ability and of such oharacter as to insure his Incorruptablllty, of firm ness, judgment and of ovon tompor.? If he Is not above partlzanshlp ho must necessarily bo a rascal, as a Judge,or Solicitor. A Congressman Is always chosen on political lines. Ho must havo a half dozon first class qualifications. He must bo a sound democrat; able in council; alert and electric In debate; of ready wit; of coolness under aggra vating assault; of Incorruptible hon esty. Thus it will be soon in South Caro lina we havo vory narrow political Is sues to 8ettlo?nothing to divide us? nothing to quarrol about. Tho whlto people of the Stato should bo together. If they divido on tho financial issue let It be with all kindness and good temper. But tho question of "divide" is hardly worth considering. A blue hen's chicken, will die In the pit?a true bluo democrat will hardly swal low a sugar coated republican pill or gilded with gold. Tho Stato Executive Commlttco mot in Columbia on tbo 5th instant and ar ranged for tho coming campaign.? Some now rules were mado for tho government of the primaries, Tho pri mary election is fixed for tho 25th of August, (tho last Tuesday). Govornor and United States Senator and all other officers are to bo voted for on the same day. Tho polls open at 8 A. M. and close at 4 P. M. and are at once counted. There will bo two boxes, one for Senator and Governor, and one for all other officers, Including Congressmen and Solicitors. Candi dates for tho General Assembly and county offices have until ten days be fore the primary to file their pledges and theso to be filed with the county Chairman. Candidates for Stato ofTicos, and theso we take to inolude Congress men and Solicitors, must file their pledges with tho state Chairman on or before the 22d of Juno. Tho campaign opens June 22d at Manning. It pro ceeds fast and furious until July 3 In clusive and skips tho Immortal 4th and the big 7th at Chicago, opening again atSumter tho 13th of July. We have our day on the 8th of August. The place will be fixed by the County Exeoutlve Committee. A second primary Is pro vided for after an Interval of two weeks from tho first. These aro promi nent points whloh our home rea ders will bo Interested in. We hope publish at an early day tho rules overnlng tho primary elections and amended by these new rules. The now State Committee Inherited $1300 ?from tho old committee. To pay tho oxpenses of the cam paign prott.y tall assessments wore put on candidates: Senator, Governor and Congressman, $100; State officers $75: except Adjutant General and Solicitors 950. To defeated candidates half the sum is to be returned. Counties aro for each representative $5, for W. W. ?ALXi, Proprietor. The Issues. For somo month* the dally State proa* has been beating the bushes to start something like a trail of what wont with the large commission al lowed by this State in floating her re Issue of Bonds two years ago. In a law suit in New York among the bene ficiaries in a quarrel over the spoilt, the game is partially frightened from its form and some suggestive facts come out. The New York Times airs these straws and the State dailies of Saturday last give them to their read ers. Gov. Evans and Treasurer Bates figure In the ozposed figuring. It will bo remembered that the Bonds were negotiated though one Rhine an un heard of broker of Augusta. Sunday's papers state that Gov. Evans had gone to Augusta and that he would publish a statement at once. It Is un fortunate that the facts have not been made public long ago as to the least farthing of this negotiotlon in which all the people of . the State are naturally curious. Some times seereoy is necessary, as in diplomaoy; but seereoy le rarely a badge of honesty. We do hope that our public offloials aro prepared to show clean hands in this matter. Months ago it was announced that Editor A. B. Williams, of the Green ville News contemplated going North to engage in literary work. It is now announced that ho has carried into ef fect that intention. His removal leaves a gap in State and Southern journalism that cannot be closed. As a journalistic writer, A. B. Williams was sul generis, eccentric possibly, hover common place, always original, fresh, strong and all in all approaoh Ing noarer to genius than any man we know of. Williams, besides, Is an hon est man, a patriot, and all round good follow. Ho will be missed in South Carolina as was Dawson. We wish him tonfold as well as ho could wish himself, as no mortal Is more unsel fish. * ? Judgo Bimonton gets rid of ono more of the many Bar-berous whiskey casos in his court. Ho deoides that tho re cent Act authorising tho seizure of spirits consigned to private parties that tho State chemist might anyllze and save the follow citizen from"pizin" is puro bosh. For that matter, the host of tho stuff, ovon tho "chemically puro" is best not to bo fooled with. But from tho strain upon the Intellec tuals of the author of the device in this lato Act, serious consequences may yot "ensuo^ A careful regimen and convenient rest should ho adhered to. There is no knowing when tho man will bo out of danger. ? * * Mr. Butler (Pop. of North Carolina) spoke of tho Presidential uso of pa tronage to influence legislation and elections. This, with tho veto power, made tho President an autocrat more dangerous than a king of England could over bo. All wrong, Mr. Butler; bad, bad; bad gpvernmont, Mr. Butler.

Fivo South Carolina socalled Demo crats, Elliott, Latlmer, Strait, Talbort and Wilson voted with tho Republi cans. It would bo uncharitable to sug gest that we might have found Elliott in other and bettor company were not his seat in direst jeopardy at the mercy of tho Republicans. *.* Ex-Gov.

WOMAN'S MEN, who hold the purse strings, often deprive women of articles of inestimable value. The wife pleads with her husband for a Piano or an Organ, which is tenfold more essential lhan the cigar and other luxuries in which he indulges. The daughter asks lather, or guardian, to buy an Instrument to enable her to cultivate that beautiful talent, music. Does any sane man not relize this a reasonable right to plead and ask for? Reflect a minute ! Think of the means expended for instruction, and the many tedious hours employed in practice by wife and daughter, and of their glowing anticipations subsequently to be realized. Now, father, husband, or guardian, are you going to blast all these bright anticipations by denying them of this merited night?simply the gift of a Piano or an Organ? Give your wives and daughters their merited rights in the home, which is " Woman's Kingdom," then she will cease to clamor for politi cal suffrage.
