A STATEMENT.
We learn that Mr. C. G. Moore is¬
sued a paper at this place last week
called the “Advocate-Democrat.” We
have endeavored to get a copy of the
paper, but have failed. But in this
connection we will say that Mr. Moore
has no right to claim the name of the
Advocate. We shall continue to pub¬
lish the Advocate and propose to jstill
espouse and defend the principles of
the People’s Party.

The papers all over the country are
giving a note of warning to the farm¬

On the 12th of March, the “Indiana,”
a large battle ship of the United States,
will be docked at Port Royal, S. C.
The Port Royal & Augusta Railroad
will offer excursion rates from Augusta
to Port Royal and return on that dale.
Everybody who can should avail them¬
selves of this opportunity to see the
big ship.
This is a mighty hoggish world.
There are a lot of liberal-hearted people
in it, but there are human hogs to de
vour you. Tliey are au envious, back
bitiug set. You have seen hogs run
after another hog that had an ear of
corn in its mouth, and squeal and light
for the corn. Then if he loses it they
pick up the ear and run off with it, and
leave the other hog to lament over his
loss. If a man has money, a large num¬
ber of people will run after him, flatter
him, court him and try to get some of
it. If misfortune or adversity over¬
takes him and he loses it. then these
fawning sycophants leave him and talk
about him as a failure. 7’liere are a
number or mes willmg to help a man
that needs no help, but if the poor fel¬
low stai-ts down bill, the track seems
to be greased for the occasion and there
are people who give him a kick to ac¬
celerate his speed.—Ex.
CARR’S FATE UNDECIDED.
Seems that the Legislature Must Meet
and Pass a Law.
It is the general opinion that Alex
Carr will not hang on the 27th of next
month, as ordered by Judge Clark a
few weeks ago.
The Governor will refer the case of
Carr to the attorney general, and it is
thought that he will advise that Carr
be respited until the legislature meets,
when some law can be passed govern¬
ing what shall be done in the case of
the murderer who has been adjudged
insane by four physicians.
The attorney general says that there
is no law governing such cases as Can’s
the law drawn by the late Judge Clark
not having been passed by the late leg¬
islature. it is thought that the next
legislature will pass a law whereby
can be disposed of in some way.
The attorney general thinks that Carr
cannot be sent to the asylum until a
law regarding insane criminals has been
passed.
The attorney general will take up the
matter aud consider it more fully when
he gets through with the high court of
Governor AUinson.

THE LABOR QUESTION.
Mr. Eugene V. Debs, in an inter¬
view with a Constitution reporter,
seems to be rather at a loss as to what
is best to do about the labor question.
He does not seem to have any clear
conception of the problem, except or¬
ganization. Now, tins noted man
appears to , have undergone , some
eitl changes in his views since thei
strike at Chicago. On some phases of
this question he talks very wisely, but
when lie views it from another angle
he , is . considerably .. tl confused .. . and . very
wrong. He is correct when he says
that legislation is unable to check the
iujustice to the laborer, for no law can
force men into right doing unless j
they are honest from principle and
Christian hearts. The man who lives
for money alone is lit for slrategems,
spoils and treasons. lie cannot be
just, to say nothing of being merciful.
Any corporation that bands itself to¬
gether for mere gain is, as a matter of
necessity, blinded to the interests of
its employees. There are very few
men or combines, corporations or
trusts that regard men for tlie love of
them. All the interest they have in
men is what they can make out of
them, Now r , money is an absolute
necessity for the commerce of the
world and is a power for good when it
is the servant aud not the master, but
when it becomes the master of a man
it is a curse aud the most tyrauuical of
all rulers that govern men. No sane
man would be so blinded as to see on¬
ly one side of the question and say that
money in itself was wrong; hut of all
the sins that dry up the milk of human
kindness in man’s bosom, this is the
most effective. It creates an appetite
that it cannot satiate, a coveteousness
it cannot cure, hut so dwarfs a man
and blinds him that he cannot attain
to any growth mentally, nor cun hi!
see the rights of his brother. Now
.ifcs Ol
anything else—hence, love is banished.
I do not wonder that labor desires
to organize itself, for it has rights, and
these rights ought to be respected, but
the mere fact of organization will not
obtain the rights sought for That
only attempts to do from without,
what ought to begin within. Capital
should learn the same lesson and both
will have to learn, before the question
is ever settled, that each have their
rights and are brothers. The one is
dependent on the other, neither can
do anything without mutual agree¬
ment, and until thc capitalist feels
other than the interest that he has
in a machine for his employe, and the
laborer has other interest in his em¬
ployer than hjs pay, the present
state of affairs will continue. Humani¬
ty seems to be left out of the question
by the former, and bonds other than
mercenary by the latter. There is no
excuse for tramps in a country like
this, with its acres of untilled land, no
healthy man is ever driven to the ne¬
cessity of begging his bread. The
question will be asked: “Where can
these men obtain the small capital
that is necessary lo begin with?” I
answer by raising this question:
Where did the men who settled this
country, wrested from the red man and
subdued its wild primeval growth to
the production of plenty for themselves
and their families ? They were poor
and yet were not dismayed by the
difficulties which they encountered nor
rendered helpless by their poverty.
The real poveity of the poor is theii
lack of manhood, which deficiency
causes the ills of which they can com
plain. No amount of organization
can supply this loss. For it does not
lend strength to the individual, but
the organization is only strong in pro
portion to the individual strength of its
members. When men permit
selves lo be the machines of others it
is their own fault. But the real cause
of all the trouble is that men have for¬
gotten justice, mercy and love. With
these kept in their lives, the troubles
that now disturb both classes will ad¬
just themselves with equal rights to all
Peace and a fair interest will reward
the capitalist, and plenty and inde¬
pendence will repay the laborer.
M. L. Troutman.
The last bond issue of a hundred
million dollars will cost the people,
principal and interest, two hundred and
sixteen million dollars, without a penny
of advantage to show for the villainous
transaction! It is continental highway
robbery under the fornts of a shame
less law.
