An Explanation, The readers of The E.vtkiipiuse and its exchanges in the Eighth dis¬ trict doubtless noticed that we had nothing to sny of Judge Lawson's nomination for congress in our last issue, and had room to think strange that such an Important matter did receive our attention. We wrote an article in regard to the nomination and did not know that the manuscript had been misplaced until the paper had gone to press, and it was then too late to do anything. The Ex- TEKPuisk was glad to know that the nomination fell upon a man w ith such a distinction as a gentleman and statesman as J udge Lawson has. The Eighth district is not only proud of his nomination, but the whole state is pleased to know that he will be tine of democracy's leading standard bearers in the next congress of the 1 'nited States, Franklin county greets her eleven sisters in their wise selection to represent the Eighth, EDITORIALLY PARAGRAPHED. South Caiiolina has about as much disreputable politics as any state in the Union. Livingston says he will stand by the democratic eaucusses. Ilo and Brother Winn arc not in harmony. Col. Winn says now that be will stand by the democratic eaucusses whenever it is of interest to the dem¬ ocratic party. From the present outlook the peo¬ ple of Georgia had rather see General Gordou in the United States than any of his probable opponents. There is an effort being made among the republicans of the Fifth district to get Mr. John Silvey, wholesale merchant of Atlanta, oppose Col. L. F. Livingston for con¬ gress. D«. Felton on last Tuesday chal¬ lenged lion. R. W. Everett for joint discussion of the political of the day. The answer of is looked forward to with much in¬ terest in tiie Seventh, There is some doubt expressed to which of the candidates—-Felton or Everett—will receive the of Hon. J. C. Clements, who drew from the field of contest tween him and Everett. IIon. John Temple Graves resigned the position as editor-in- chief of the Rome Tribune, he could not consistently support Felton for congress, the stock-hold¬ ers not being wilting for him to otherwise. Brkukenkidge, of Arkansas, been bounced by the republican ma¬ jority in the low er house of Breckeuridgc was elected from district in which Clayton was assas¬ sinated, and the republicans claimed that he was implicated in the though the evidence was overwhelm¬ ing to the contrary. Speaker Reed lias been re-elected to congress, receiving the largest ma¬ jority that lias ever boon given him botore. It is thought that will put Reed in direct line to re¬ ceive the presidential nomination in ’92. While it is considered a for Reed, it is also considered defeat for Blaine. 1 he papers charge Reed with buying many of his votes. I)r. McCuxe is not satisfied with his meanness in advocating tho pas¬ sage of the Conger lard bill, and crip¬ pling an important industry of the South already to the extent of twen¬ ty-five per cent., but he is now sit¬ ting back in Washington City dictat¬ ing to the people of Georgia as to whom they should send to the United States Senate to carry out his dema¬ gogic sub-treasury scheme. McCone ■yvili fall and great will be the failing. Charges of Bribery in the Eighth, There is a sensation in political circles now, caused by the charge of one Mr. Roane, of Wilke* county, that there was money used in the congressional nominating convention at Athens that nominated Judge Lawson, Mr. Roane charges that he offered Mr. Lumpkin, the chairman of the Olive delegation, M00, or more if necessary; if lie would cast Olive’s strength for Colley. Mr. Roane fur- thoy charges that lie saw Lumpkin and one of Lawson’s leading friends in close consultation, and that shortly the Oglethorpe delegation withdrew name and cast her vote for Lawson, and by this Ronuu charges that Judge Lawson's friends must have raised the hid. Mr. Lumpkin and Messrs. Lawson, Colley and Olive all deny emphatically any such a deal being made. Mr. Lumpkin, however, gives this remarkable sym¬ pathy front Mr. Roane: “While discussing the prospects of the different candidates, he (Roane) said he thought Olive or Colley one ought to get the nomination; that neither of them wore as able to hear the burden of the campaign as the othec candidate, and for the kind feel¬ ings that he entertained for Olive, lie would, if Colley should be the suc¬ cessful candidate, ho willing to take from las own pocket *500 towards meeting the expense he incurred in making the race, and if that was not enough he would try and get up more. I only thought ho meant this as an intended Limbless to a defeated This statement bears on its face a bill, whether MrLumpkin construed it this way or not. Wc do not be¬ lieve there was any monev used, hut do believe that Roane attempted to buy Lumpkin for Colley. The three candidates owe it to the pure democ¬ racy of the Eighth and to the State and entire country to make a clean breast of these charges, let the cor¬ ruption fall where it may. As for Frauklm she demands, and w ill con¬ tinue to demand until accomplished, a complete and satisfactory uncov¬ ering. The Financial Situation. • There is just at this time consider¬ able excitement throughout the coun¬ try in regard to tightness in money matters, and the best of financiers differ as to the cause of the alarm. Some think that the stringency is caused by the unprecedented devel¬ opment of the country in the differ¬ ent lines of business, that transfers and exchanges are not made fast enough and the disbursements of the government are too small. Others say that the situation is not unusual for this season of the year, and that the present closeness will he entirely overcome inside of sixty days,, while still others claim—and which from the best information we can com¬ mand are probably the nearest right that there is a corner on money, be¬ ing manipulated by eastern specula¬ tors. There Is no doubt about the situation heiug very unsatisfactory to the commercial world. The tight that is being made on national banks and high money is causing the mon¬ eyed men to call their money in, and while the present fight is going on many of them will bo slow to let their money out. If it were not for the almost certainty that contracts for cotton will have to be filled the situ¬ ation in the South would lie gloomy, but it is to be hoped that this, if not h¬ ing else, will bring relief to our people. He Wants to Go to Congress. The state lecturer of the Farmers’ Alliance of South Carolina, AY. T. Tolbert, lias announced himself as a candidate for congress against Con¬ gressman George 1). Tillman. Mr. Tolbert appears in a card in which he uses the following language; “When a man joins tho Alliance he takes a solemn obligation to do a great many things. If he fails to do them he violates the obligation. Amongst other things, when he joins he swears to support and protect the principles of the Alliance. Now, this sub-treasury scheme has been adopted and endorsed by lnvth our national and state Alliances. It is one of the great principles of the Alliance, and the Allianccman who refuses to sup¬ port that principle violates his obli¬ gation. I nm making no personal tight against Col. G. 1). Tillman, for, as a man, I admire him, but I don’t hesitate to say that everything hon¬ orable will be done by me openly and above board to put men in congress who are friendly to this great scheme, and put those out who are opposed to it.” —Screven county has endorsed Norwood for tiie senate. General Gordon and the Alliance. The National Economist, the na¬ tional organ of the Farmers’Alliance, of last week has it long editorial on the scmitc contest in Georgia. The article for the moat part appears very lair on its faoe, and there are no praises too great for General Gordon's honesty and patriotism—but all this shrewd praise was for the purpose of getting in an under-handed lick that would cut Gordon’s support from him among tlio members of the Alliance. The editorial says to the jieople of Georgia that Gordon is an honest man, and by his speech before the meeting of the State Alliance at At¬ lanta, he fold them tinder the circum¬ stances, “Gordon does not want or expect your support.” To put such a construction on Gordon’s prophetic and patriotic speech is crawlingly mean. The Economist knows that Gordon wants the votes of the Alli- ancoineii of Georgia, hut that lie was not the hypocrite to speak other than his convictions to gain their support. The Economist’s position is: That an Allianccman should only support men for office who promise to support the sub-treasury scheme, whether the scheme is satisfactory to their indi¬ vidual convictions or not. Notwith¬ standing they have adopted national and state platforms and do not allow their members to vote from convic¬ tion, they still claim their order to he non-political and purely democratic, all of which is very strange to the average thinker. The editorial con¬ cludes with this knifv-in-the-baek style: “It is, however, the plain of every member of the Alliance in Georgia, no matter how groat a friend he may ho to Governor Gordon, to take him at his word in his rejection of their support for this That he would rather he defeated than to have their votes is the only fair and honorable construction can possibly ho put on the The Allianccmen of Georgia may low this imprudent and advice, but we do not bclivc it. People With Big Ideas. From the Atlanta Coostitutlou, A farmer living a few miles from Atlanta complained the other day that it was a hard matter to find la- Iwrors who were willing to at¬ tend to the little odds and ends of farm work. From the highest to the lowest, rich and poor, black and white, we are all under the curse of big ideas. Too many of our young men rush in¬ to professional life because they arc not willing to work their way up m the trades, beginning with a small salary. Our clerks set up for them¬ selves before they have mastered their business because they are in a hurry to get rich, I’rofitable open¬ ings for manufacturing arc neglected because they are small industries. Nothing smaller than a cottou factory or a rolling mill will satisfy most of our people. Bright young men who would make good workmen and earn a good living prefer to begin life as architects, civil engineers and con¬ tractors. Mon waste the money that would jit the end of the year buy a small suburban lot. They cannot consider such trifles. When they in¬ vest in real estate it must be on a large scale, with a big mortgage. Everywhere it is the same. Men dream over their magnificent schemes and neglect the small things of life. They want to leap to the top of the ladder and make a fortune by a single lucky hit. Before they will dig, and hammer, and save nickels until they turn into dollars, they will go to the devil. Our friend, tim. fanner, knew what he was talking about. Ilis laborers were under the spell of big ideas. They wanted to do work that would show and produce great results. They scorned the little trifles of farm work, such as patching fences, cleaning ditches, saving horseshoes and nails, raking up the leaves, and a score of other things. And yet these small matters must be looked after, or the farm will not be a success. It is differentjjup north. The cli¬ mate there makes a man hustle in order to keep warm, The summer is so short that it takes a man’s best work to provide for the winter. Down here it is just the other way. The climate invites a man to do nothing in order to keep cool, and the winter is so mild that the poor do not suffer. Perhaps nature has done too much for us in this southern country. The thing to do is to go into partnership with nature and make this region the richest m the world. We can do this by paying more attention to small af- fairs. Let us keep our big ideas for the fHtnre, and do the work that needs j to be done in tlic present.

How sad the death-bed scene, how bright the endearing words. There on I,;, death-bed lay the great writer, “the wizard of the North," the author of Waverley and its hosts of successors that had taken the literary world by storm. There, waiting the inevitable shadow through which his dimming eyes caught glimpses of the bright¬ ening vistas that led to the “Golden Somewhere,” lay the great man dy¬ ing. There, by his bedside weeping, stood the young, the handsome, the gifted, and popular essayist. How thrilling those six words from the pale lips of his more than father must have fallen on the ear and heart of tll.Tt , already , , famous . young man, com- * . of , such , men as JrlHWCr, ., .

It - was not a dvmg , . request to his son to be great as an author, but to be good as a man. It was as if he had said, be good to the poor, the weary, the wayworn, and sad. Be a light and a blessiong wherever yon go. Be charitable to the faults and the failings of your fellow men. And when your heart overflows with mirth and humor, ami your frank and cordial laughter must be heard amid the gay throng of your young associ¬ ates, let it never be heard so as to wound the feelings of others. Be gentle and genial and tender, and you will be dear to all and hated by none. The utterances of great authors, whether with tongue or pen, are priceless legacies to t’'C few who read them in after ages. The modern novelists, compared with the great authors from Fielding down to Thackeray, arc stale and unattractive. They are like the autumn leaf in R. II. Wilde's beautiful poeiu, “restless and soon to pass away.” Where now is the writer front whose peu flashes the diamond splendor*, that stood out as separate and insulated glories on the pages of Scott and press lias forbidden such utterances to die out of the world of mcu. How glad we are that their point, their brilliancy, their wit, their humor, their pathos, are embodied and em¬ balmed and yet alive to remain ns forever. O wliat charities in lienedictions still smile on pages to greet and to bless us! O what rainbows of beauty grace summer days of prosperity, and span the dark gloom of our seasons sorrow ! The literary man in the of his books may be sad, because poor and neglected and misappreciated, but he can never be lonely. He lias company that the common world knows nothing of. He “calls spirits from the vasty deep" of the past, and holds converse with the deathless dead. There before him are the crowned kings of thought. There Hector lights again with Achilles, an< l side by side stalk Agamemnon ai Hail “| Homer to the on beauty the garnished and the stage. glory l> ^ books. limy make the past our heritage and home. They are the everlasting monuments for thoughts that cannot die. Dead kings may lie nameless under hoary pyramids, but crowned thoughts, when once uttered, live on forever on the living pages of our books. From the study of these silent pages, with their tongues of fire, how many an ardent genius has risen inspired for the liar, the senate, the pulpit. l>nt from all there never came a sweeter message to youthful aspirant than this, “lie a good man, my dear.” -—Father Rvan, the sweetest war poet of the South, and indeed one of the grandest of all the priests of the beautiful in the temple of song, said in one of his fine poems: “There’s a grandeur in graves and a glory in gloom.” —Reason, being of the earth earthy, wanders and blunders amid the scenes within the bounds of the finite. Faith, being of the heaven heavenly, leaps at a bound to the pos¬ sibilities within the upbore of the in¬ finite. ‘ ant,K1 tho an,i umoroHR at, cndant of the redoubta- - ^ on Q u ' x °te, gave utterance to secular beatitude, “Blessed be the who invented bicep.” Sheriff Sales I\7TIX itc Md on the first Tuestlaylin Octoter YV next*uttlwuourt house tlixir in Carnos- vl1W\ K»i«l county, within flu* Weii\ hour* of sal**, to tint highest bidder for cami, the following iiroiierty, to-wit: ... ‘“,*1*.^ must Uiwlraltlu lots in tin- town.
