MR. STOKES Is a worthy man, and, if elected, will make a food officer. rT The friends of MAJOR WATSON A- O'CIIN hereby an.wunee him as a candidate for member of. the House of Representatives, subjeet to the action of the primary election. 1ST We offer to the Democratic voters of Orangeburg County tho name of J.

J. ANTLEY, a a- Representative from Orangeburg County, to the Lower House, subject to the action of tho Primary. Mr. Antley is acknowledged by his neighbors to bo one among the best practical farmers uf the Fork, and one who cannot be led or driven from honest conviction's, and who believes that the will of the people should reign supreme. If a war record is requisite to secure confidence.

In a candidate we can safely vouch that J. J. Antley was at the front during the late war between the States, and has often been exposed to the perilous danger-, when it tried the souls of men If elected, he will stand the storm undaunted. No voter will have cause to regret his election. So you can vote early and late, and bo sure to vote straight for J.

J. Antley. MANY VOTERS. Tlie Democrat, of Four The Democracy of Pennsylvania, Ohio, Missouri and Michigan have recently held conventions for the nomination of State candidates, and for the declaration of principles. All these conventions have adopted resolutions expressing their satisfaction with the honest purposes ajid upright conduct of President Cleveland's Administration.

So far as an endorsement of this sort could go they leave little to be desired by his admirers. But when it came to the crucial test, the upholding of that civil service doctrine, framed after the Chinese model, which makes competitive literary exr'ninations the avenue to obtaining work in the civil service of the United States, every one of these conventions passed by that subject in silence. They could not approve the doctrine, and they did not feel it to be necessary or judicious to denounce it. We join with the New York Sun when it says all honor to the Democracy of these four States I They are not frauds and hypocrites. A Deserved Tribute.

The Democratic State Executive Committee at its session in Columbia last week, passed the following resolution unanimously liesolced, That the members of the State Democratic executi ve committee, some of whom have served with him and all of whom are familiar with his public record, do hereby express their high appreciation of the zeal, energy and abiiitv displayed by Gen James F. Izlar, the retiring chairman.duringthe two successive 'terms of office through which the Democratic party has been uniformly successful, and covering the period of the national election, in which South Carolina cast her elective vote for Grover Cleveland, the present President of the United States. The resolution is a deserved tribute to our distinguished fellow-citizen Gen. J. F.

Izlar, who has labored in season and out of season for the welfare7 and success of the Democratic party, and, although he is not now officially connected with the Executive Committee we know that he stands ready to respond to any call that the Democracy may make upon him in the present campaign. At His Old Tricks. Mr. Blaine's recent speech is being sharply criticized by Republicans and Prohibitionists as well as Democrats. The Augusta Chronicle says the higher and more conservative Republican theory is that Mr.

Blaine is a demagogical advocate and not a noble-minded or sincere statesman. Perhaps Mr. Blaine has a very great contempt for the reason of the majority of mankind, who are more apt to be led by passion and prejudice than sober counsel. The most nmusing episode of Mr. Blaine's pronunciamento is that of prohibition.

ir. to reply, anutTcsTsq vYcfiV enom, yigor and versatility. He brands Mr. Blaine as a falsifier, the idol of a rotting political machine and a wholesale charlatan. Mr.

St. John looks to the South for the greatest aid and comfort to prohibition. The ex-Governor admits, as he always has done, that main purpose of prohibition is to "smash both the Democratic and Republican party to smithereens." He Careful. We. would warn voters to be careful in casting their ballots at the primary to vote for only four white men for the Legislature and only two for County Commissioner if they want their votes to count.

It makes no difference whether they are in favor of electing a colored man to either of these positions or not they can only vote effectually as above stated, as the Executive Committee have decided that all ballots containing the names of five white candidates for the Legislature or three for County Commissioner would be thrown out. So if you want your vote counted you must observe this decision of the Executive Committee. A large party of tourists have narrowly escaped death on the Matterhorn. While on that mountain an avalanch occurred, and they were completely imprisoned by a huge bank of snow. Forty guides went to their assistance with ropes and ladders, and after superhuman exertions they rescued them.

Many of the tourists were suffering from frostbite. The rescued travellers received an ovation on their arrival at Zermatt, where the news of their peril had been received. Mr. Dhuleep Singh is a native of India, who was brought up in England under tho influence of Her Majesty's court, and lived like a nobleman in Suffolk, where he was a devout member of the Established Church. Ho has just returned to India, however, and being ninong the Sikhs, he worships the god of Sutguru.

To the Englishmen who have charged him with heresy, he explains that when he returns to England he will worship the God of the English. A real tragedy of the theatre has occurred at Casale, a town of Piedmont, in northern Italy. An actor, who was playing a leading part, failed to please the audience, who displayed their dis- unnrrtvul liv hmlnncrwl hlauinr Tfeo actor stopped suddenly in his lines, and advancing 10 me loouignts, drew a revolver and shot himself dead. Since the Canadian girls brought vials of the water in which the Prince of Wales washed his hands, there has been no specimen of toadyism quite so striking1 as the Washington people in the church pew behind Mrs. Cleveland refusing one communion cup and waiting for the other, from which she had partaken of the sacrament.

One sign that the Republicans do not expect to gain the next House is that no encouragement la given to Con- glW'onnl candidates at the South, 1 N( A. nn ORDINANCE TO MAKE AP-t J.X. nronriations to meet the liabilities of; the Cltv of Orangeburg and to raise sup plies for the fiscal year beginning April 1st, ISHd, and ending March 3ist, 18S7.

Honor to Whom Honor 1 Dae. To the Demockatic Votehb op Orakgk-bdkg County We offer to you a true and tried colored Democrat. A man who had to leave his house, and make his bed in the forest among the wild beast. Would you go back on such a man? No, you would not! Through all that, this man never came to the front and ask you for any recompense.

That man is Rev. Paul E. Govan. We do hope and trust that these noble and heroic deeds will startle the minds of every true Democrat In Orangeburg County. Look, fellow-Democrats, nt 1878, On account of public opinion his good man was compelled to yield his claim to the pulpit and resort to private life.

Examine his record, and enquire of the bodv politic of the County and find out for yourself, and then fellow-Democrat I will safely say, when that Is done, to be true to yourself and true to your promise, all of you will be compelled to put your hands upon your heart on the 14th of September and say tnnt it is Govan's turn.

This does not apply to notes, which draw interest on the added-in-the-beginning interest all day Sunday, and cheer the heart of the good old deacon as he meditates in his pew, Thk Mutual Admiration Free Trade Association of South Carolina is booked to meet in Columbia ftt an early day.

If these gentlemen would modify the aims of their association to a reformation of the tariff instead of do-' manding free trade, its membership would grow rapidly. As Cutting is a Yankee, we expect to see him turn his Mexican experience into cash by taking to the lecture platform. The Yankees are a wonderful people. With two eyes always on the main chance, they hail with outstretched arms an opportunity like Cutting's to rake in the ducats. An American, now residing in the City of Mexico, in a private letter to his brother in New York, says "It would amuse an American who understood Spanish to hear some of the talk indulged in by Mexicans.

They say that they could whip the United States if it were not for Texas Tiik Democratic State Executive Committee is being roundly abused in some quarters for having nominated Capt. M. L. Boriham for Adjutant and Inspector General. This is all wrong.

Of all the candidates, Capt. Bonham was the best man for the position, and the committee did exactly right in nominating him. Democratic members of the lust Congress who deserted their party, betrayed its principles, and voted with the Republicans to defeat the consideration of a tariff reform bill, and 'who are candidates for re-election, should be left at home. The Demo cratic party i pledged to tariff reform, aiu'; no man Kvho votes against It has any business representing the party in Congress. The Abbeville editors are lucky.

Week before last Brother Hemphill, 'of the Medium, was unanimously nomi nated for Senator, and last week Broth. er Bonham, of the Messenger, was nominated for Adjutant and Inspector General of the State. We congratulate these brethren on their popularity, and hope to see them climb higher and higher in the affections of the people. ihey are both worthy of the honors conferral upon them. DritiNG Mr.

Blaine's speech at Seba- go Lake Itev. John Collins, a leading prohibitionist, asked him thin direct question "Mr. Blaine is the Republican party prohibition party?" To which Mr. Blaine replied "Nothe national Republican party is not a prohi bition party, but the Republican party of Maine is." Mr. Collins then said to him "Mr.

Blaine, is there a State Republican party distinct from the national party? Parties are not State but national, are they not?" to which Mr. Blaine made no replay. "Thkkk could not," says Mr. Blaine, "in my judgment, be a more deplorable event than a war between tho United States and any other American repub lic. Mr.

Blaine appears to have undergone a notable change of mind since, as Secretary of State, he sought to precipitate a war between the United States and the republic of Chili. The Knight of the White Feather ought to have a carefully Indexed record of his life and speeches before him when preparing his addresses. It might prove unpleasant reading, but the systematic consultation of its pages would probably save him from such exhibitions of inconsistency as that noted above. Tiik action of the grand jury of Aiken County, at its last session, in presenting certain parties for living in adultery and publishing their names in the County papers, has had a wholesome effect upon a groat many others who were living in tho same way. causing some to end "their women" away; others continue to take the risks of being dealt with at the next meeting of Court.

A good luany negroes who had been living as man and wife for years and have numbersof children are having the marriage ceremony performed nt this late day by preachers and notaries public. One fellow with brood of eight children has recently married. As many as ten couples, who have been living as man and wife for years, have been united in a week's time, and a great many others at different Cljf ands of people homeless in Charleston and Sumrnerville and they cry unto us in their distress. We must not let them cry in vain, but must come to their rescue manfully and liberally. Let an.

organized effort be made at once, and let Orangeburg raise at least one thousand dollars for these distressed people. Other parts of the State will act, but Orangeburg should take the initative in this grand and noble work. As a modest starter to the enterprise The Times ani Democrat will subscribe ten dollars to the fund. Let us hear from others. Any amounts subscribed will be acknowledged through these columns and will bu forwarded to the relief committee in the devastated district as soon as one is appointed.

In preserving our town from the terrible fate of Charleston and Sumrnerville God has wonderfully blessed us, and we know of no more ef fective way of showing our gratitude for His watchful care than by helping to our fullest ability those of his crea tures who have been rendered homeless by the earthquakes of the past week. Let the response be quick and liberal. Civil Service Humbug. The Times and Demockat has the highest opinion of President Cleveland, and believes that evejy Democrat in the country should give his administration a warm and cordial support, but when, it is asked to endorse the civil service law it respectfully declines, and it does so without giving up one iota of its loyalty to the great Democratic party. No one finds fault with President Cleveland for enforcing the law, because as long as it is a law, it is his plain duty to enforce it, and no one expects him to shirk his duty.

The fight, therefore, is against the law and not against the administration of President Cleveland, who, if the truth was known, would like to have the law repealed himself. So far as the people of this State are concerned, we do not believe that they are really in favor of the absurd doctrine that the offices of the country belong of right to the defeated party. As the Wilmington Star says a good many of our peo ple, have been misled by Messrs. Daw son and.Tremholm and men of that stripe but the great mass of the party that followed Hampton to victory can hardly be suspected of holding to the doctrine that a humbug system that only regulates and reaches-mntlerUngs auu small omciais is oi. very great, importance as a reform measure.

Can they be fairly suspected of holding that when they voted to ''turn ths rascals out" in 1884, they really meant that they should be kept in office? The regulations of the boasted system have served to retain a great many Republi cans in office. In fact, it began busi ness with nearly every office in the land in the possession of the old corrupt Republicans that plundered and oppressed South Carolina. If those who started the humbug had meant to be fair and honest they would have certainly turned out half the Republi cans before setting the rules in motion and put Democrats in. Can South Carolina Democrats of the true blue stripe tolerate this? Can they ap plaud a Republican system that prevented the Democrats over forty-five years old from holding office? A Failure. Editor who was released from a Mexican prison recently is trying to become a national issue.

He has published an address to the people of the United States, in which he thanked tho citizens of El Pa-so, the press of Texas, and particularly Consul Brig-ham, for the interest taken in his case and the assistance rendered him during his imprisonment. He says the main issue that of Mexico's right to extra territorial jurisdiction over foreigners is not at all settled by his release. He winds up by violently abusing Mexico and her institutions, and hopes the United States will soon invade and conquer the whole country. We think the best thing Cutting can do is to shut his mouth and keep it shut. There has been entirely too much sympathy bestowed on him already, aud as a war issue we are glad to say he has proved a complete failure.

The United States Government and the Mexican Government can settle their differences without any assistance from adventurers like Cutting. So he will please retire and give us a rest. A (inoil Hi'l tlon. We congratulate the State upon the selection of Capt. M.

L. Bonhaiw, for the position of Adjutant and Inspector General by the State Democratic Executive Committee. lie is young, talented and full of military enthusiasm, and will make a most admirable successor to the lamented Manigault.

He was our choice, and we rejoice at his selection.
