The -Republican managers are lay ing their plans to get control of the next Senate and to reduce the Demo cratic majority in the next House of Representatives, and as part of the programme, to accomplish this, we find them pooling their issues with th Populists in tbe South, and play innr Afrt rtn frrtA cflvr nflPCfinrl uuuutk vru ,uv ...... v. v.- to fool the Populists of the West. They do not expect to elect a ma jority in the next House of Repre sentatives, but, they are going to try to elect all the Populists they can in "districts where there is no reasonable prospect of electing a Republican. They are ' not particularly anxious for a clear Republican majority in the next House, for if they had ! it they could carry through no party measure with a Dem ocratic President to pass upon the measure, and hence while puffing themselves in a position to be held responsible for x legislation on the eve of another Presidential election, they would be utterly powerless to do anything. If they should have a majority, the silver Republicans of the West might ball on them to re deem some of their free coinage promises and they would thus be forced to do what they didn't want to do, or by refusing confess that they had been playing to humbug the silver people of the West to get them into the Republican party for the presidential election of 1896. They have not the plain sailing before them now that thev have had in former years, for they have not . the backing they had in" former years when the protected interest contributed theiij money freely to keep Republi cans in Congress and to keep Demo crats out. They were interested in having the protective tariff remain as it was, and they knew it would not remain as it was if the Govern ment got into Democratic hands. But the thing which they strove to prevent and spent their money freely to prevent happened in spite of them. The tariff which they didn't want changed has been changed, and they will be far more likely to content themselves with what they have than to contribute their money Vith the expectation of again revolutionizing politics and securing a return to McKinleyism. Hence the protected manufacturers are not going to take the same interest nor put as many dollars in the next Congressional elections as they had been in the habit of doinc .This elimtnatpe nn very potent factor and deprives the Republican . machine managers of some very effective co-operation. This makes it all the more neces sary tor tne machine managers to seek co-operation in other quarters and form where they can alliances direct or indirect with the Populists in the South, and to give Populism all the moral and material aid they can in this section. They know that me majority ot the Populist vote in the South comes from men who have not voted the Republican ticket and that therefore the Republican party has nothing to lose by splicing with 1 the Populists, nor by helping to strengthen that party. The way they look at it is that every Populist Congressman elected or every Popu list elected to the Legislature's a gain to the Republicans, by weakening to that extent the Democracy. They would very gladly, if they could, help to elect a majority of Populist Con-, gressmen and members of Legisla tures from all the Southern States, and indoicg that they would be ac comlpishing something that they might turn to good account in set tling the question of the next Presi dency. litis not impossible that the elec tion of the next President may be thrown into the House of Represen tatives. There is no telling what may happen between this and 1896. If the new tariff works well and busi ness revives and the people become prosperous the Democratic party will held the fort with little effort. If not . there will be several Presidential can didates in the field, and the result may tbe failure of. the Electoral Col lege to elect, and throwing the elec tion into the House of Representa- i 17 Ac Tr ie thto rnntinrranxi, fa 13 publican managers are now scheming to take advantage ot Dy working to secure a majority of the State dele gations in as many States as they can, and by helping the Populists in those States where the Republicans can t elect. If they can thus keep the Democrats from having a ma jority of States they might drive such a bargain with the Populists who would hold the balance of power as to secure the election of a Republican President. It is partly with this view they are playing the Populists now. The proposed big Trust of Calif or nia grape-growers and wine dealers has collapsed. The grape growers wouldn't trust the manipulators of of the Trust. " v' THE DEMOCRATIC CLtttS. Mr. Julian S. Carr, President of the State Association of Democratic Clubs, has called a convention of the clubs to meet at Raleigh, at noon on the 20th inst. The call has the hearty endorsement of the Demo, cratic State Executive Committee, j Arrangements for reduced rates have been or will be made with the railroads, and the intention is to make this a grand rally, especially of the young Democracy, and the practical inauguration of the State campaign, 1 .. r - j Each club will be entitled to ten delegates, and a like number of alternates, and. an additional -delegate and an additional alternate for every twenty-five members of a club in good standing. ! Senators Ransom and Jarvis, our members of Congress and nominees for Congress are expected to be present and take part in inaugurating the campaign. ' Every county in the State should be represented in this convention, which is in reality a convention of the working men of the party "the men who bear the'banners and fol low them because they believe in'the principles and love the cause for which they do battle. ; j These clubs are powerful . factors in our political contests and no time should be lost in organizing them in every county in the State where they may not be already organized. j Have you received a bill for sub scription to the Weekly Star re cently ?

The Stanly News of last week calls attention to the fact that the Popu list Convention for that county had nominated for the most important office in the county a man who had candidly told them before the nomi-j nation that he was not competent to discharge the duties of the office.! But that is not as remarkable as the course pursued by managers of the State Populist machine in nomina ing for Judges, Judge Clark and ex-j Judge Connor, after both bad de-j clared emphatically that they did not want the nomination and would not accept it. They were both known to be Democrats, in sympathy in no way with the Populist party, and both had taken occasion to say so in public and in print, that there might be no mistake about it, and both repu diated the nomination after it was made. Marion Butler went so far after the nomination as to write to Mr. Connor,, from whom he re ceived an answer, stating firmly, but courteously, that he did not want and could not accept the nomina tion, that he did not. want an elec tion to an office which for good and sufficient reasons he had resigned, and yet Mr. Butler persists in keep ing his name on the ticket and run ning him in the face of all these utterances and protests. The result has been, that Mr. Connor, has been forced to write and publish another letter (the third or fourth) saying emphatically that if in spite of his declarations he should be voted for and elected, he will not accept the office nor serve. For a piece of un adulterated cheek and persistent im pudence this liberty taken with Mr. Connor's name beats anything we ever heard of. Forest fires are of almost annual occurrence in the Northwest, but those of this year far exce'ed in the extent of territory swept by the flames, and in the destruction of timber, houses, and in the loss of human life and of stock any on record as far as our knowledge goes. There were great fires raging at the same time in Michigan, Wisconsin, Minnesota, and in the far off State Washington, which for mile after mile destroyed everything and left nothing in the wake of the flames but ashes, the charred trunks of trees and the roasted bodies of men, women and children, and of animals. Who can imagine the mental torture of those wretched people who heard the roar of the coming fiery cyclone, saw the red flames running along the earth and bounding from tree top to tree top, travelling with the rapidity of the wind and spreading afar on either side and felt that they could not escape it, that their fate was to be caught in its embrace and burned alive. Such a death is horrid to contemplate, and yet it is scarcely more so than the agony that preceded it when fathers and mothers looked upon their crouching and pleading children were powerless to help ' them or themselves and felt that a tomb of4 fire would soon be theirs. In the sight of such human holocausts the loss of property counts nothing. It is hard to believe that such tragedies as these could be the work of men who started these fires to secure work in cutting down the injured trees. St The announcement by Senator Jones, ot Neyada, published y ester day, that he had withdrawn from the Republican party need not to have created the sensation it is alleged to have done in political circles, for Senator Jones has been out of place in the Republican party for several years. Senator j Stewart discovered that he was some time ago, renounced his allegiance to the Republican party, and his adhesion to the Popu list party, which was in accord with his views on the silver question. Sen ator Stewart became a Populist on the silver issue, and now Senator Jones, follows his example. The politics of both are concentrated on this one issue, to which all others are subordinated. This action of Sena tor Jones shows that he had no con fidence in the declarations of Repub lican Conventions in favor of the, silver dollar, which he was smart enough to see through. With two such leaders in tbe silver States as Stewart and Jones (for they are both very able men) the Populist party ought to be able to present a pretty aggressive front, but the trouble with it is that the only real interest they take in it is on the one question of free and unlimited coinage, and in stead of the party using them to fur ther its aims, they will be using it to carry out their silver programme. Have you received a bill for sub scription to the Weekly Star re cently? If so, is it correct? If cor rect, why not pay it? Is there a man on earth who can print a newspaper for nothing, and pay the postage be sides? Can a. farmer give away his corn, and cotton, and wheat, 'and chickens, and eggs, and keep out of the poor-house? If so, let us have the recipe. It will be valuable to us just now. The State of Pennsylvania is suf fering from a drought which not only threatens the destruction of growing crops but has so dried up the streams that many towns are cut off from their water supplies and are suffering much. With the long and destruc tive drought in the' West, 1894 has made a record which has probably never been equalled for the length of the drought! and the area covered. An English syndicate has bought the thirty-four in Wisconsin paper and pulp mills for $14,000,000, half cash. A nu mber ot the leading English journals are now printed on American-made paper. If with this they would import some American managers, editors and reporters, the English press j might become inter esting. I It is said that when Tom Reed puts up at a hotel and doesn't want to be bothered with callers after night he slips his shoes out into the hall to make them believe he has gone to bed. There is no danger of the shoes being stolen, for outside of Chicago there isn't one man in a thousand who could wear Tom's bro- gans. Hon. Levi P. Morton has just completed ; his j new barn, built of Georgia pine, 300 feet long, 65 feet wide and 65 feet high, to accommo date his 100 Gurnsey cows. ' He has attached to it a hen house large enough for 4,000 chickens. And with all this they have persuaded him to run for Governor. The l&rritory of Utah will hold her convention to frame a State con stitution next March. The constitu tlon will be voted on in November 1895. If ratified by the people and there is nothing in it to prevent its approval by the President, the new State can come in in time to take a hand in the election business in 1896. A Boston man has struck on the idea of the revolving brush, similar to that used in street sweeping, as a car-f ender. ' It sweeps everything be fore it clear off the track. A chemist claims to have hit upon a way of solidifying whiskey and other liquors into tablets, so a fellow can chaw his liquor and carry around two or three jamborees in his vest pocket.

Lockhart Opens tbe Campaign in this Dis trict. A dispatch to the Charlotte Observer from Wadesboro savs : James A.

About UM) Projects of the Iiouisvttle and BsaaVIUe and the Atlantic Coast Line People. wjV . , ,.- " v The Orangeburg correspondent of the Charleston News and Courier recently had an interview with Col. Gardner, the engineer of the Atlantic Coast Line sys tem, during the course of which CoL Gardner is reported as having said that he had beard it rumored that the Louis ville and Nashville had bought the South Carolina and Georgia road. Col. Gard ner did not vouch for the statement, but merely save it as a rumor which had reached him. Discussing the matter farther. Col. Gardner is reported as hav ing said that the line recently surveyed to Augusta would "probably" be built if the Louisville and Nashville did not suc ceed in purchasing the South Carolina and Georgia property. Commenting on, the above the News and Courier says : N " The fact that Col, Gardner is officially connected with one of the lines which proposes to build the new road lends a weight to whatever he may say on the subject which it would not otherwise have. There is no reason for presuming that Col. Gardner was speaking ex ca thedra, yet ' in cases of this kind the public will find it hard to forget that he is an Atlantic Coast Line official, and that the name of the Atlantic Coast Line has been intimately associated with that of the Louisville and Nashville system both in the project to build a new route to Augusta or to obtain con trol over the old one.. In regard to the rumor that the Louis ville and Nashville has actually arranged to purchase the South Carolina and Georgia Road, railroad men In this city place little faith in it. No one questions that such a transfer has been and still is one of tbe possibilities, but that any of its details have been arranged at the present time is another question. The present owners have taken possession of their property, and are operating it in a manner which suggests that they have come to stay, at least for a period some what longer than would bejthe case bad they sold out to the Louisville and Nashville system. Col. Gardner's belief that the new line lo Augusta will be built if the purchase ot the south Carolina & Oeorgia bv tbe Louisville & Nashville is not finally effected is shared by many people. On this point Col. Gardner's opinion is en titled to some consideration. He was selected by his road as the man to make the preliminary survey for the new line, and he did it. When the road was first projected it was stated that it would be built if it could be constructed within a given figure. That Col. Gardner be lieves it will be done in case trie com peting line cannot be bought would seem to indicate that his survey had demon strated that the road be built for a sum falling within the limit set. But every thing pertaining 10 tbe subject has been discussed so often that there is no reason for adding an additional word now. Col. Gardner's statements stand for them selves. I BUSINESS IS BETTER. How It Looks in Virginia and Else N where New Life Intnsod into Business MnnufeoturinR Enterprises Booming, The Philadelphia Record is enthusias tic over tbe situation in trade circles. It says. There is a business boom all along the line. In Pennsylvania the iron and steel works are rapidly increasing the number of their employes and lengthening the hours of labor. Car shops, coal mines. saw mills, furniture factories, general manufacturing plants are all feeling the energy of new life. In the towns the stores feel tbe awakening, and trade is humming. New Jersey's glass factories are light ing their fires for renewed activity. The big canning establishments are rushed with orders. West Virginia and the Ohio Valley are alive, and in the one State 9.000 men have returned to work within a few weeks. Scarcity of water and coke are the only checks upon complete resump tion of business in every branch. Maryland seems to have suffered less than her sister States from the depres sion, and has not so much lost ground to regain. She is taking big strides to recover what was lost, and all industrial prospects are bright, The Richmond Dispatch has this to say of the marked improvement in Richmond: There is no question that the settle ment of the tariff has infused new life into business in Richmond. This has been apparent ever since the conclusion was reached that the fight was over and the Senate bill would become a law. The good effects of the end of the agita tion are noticeable on every side, and are indicated in the conversation and experience of men representing all in terests, A feeling of hopefulness and confidence pervades the entire business community, and already practical re sults are manifesting themselves. A prominent manufacturer told Dispatch reporter yesterday that in the last week he had received more orders than all during the preceding three weeks, and that instead, of running on two-thirds time, as had been the case for a considerable period, his plant was making extra time. He looked, he said, for a pressure of orders from now until Christmas. Another gentleman told the Dispatch representative that he bad i list been summoned North in regard to a deal which involved putting a larger amount of money into Virginia, which had been hanging fire for a year and a half. He now expected its consummation. The railroads have also felt the stimu lus. The earnings of the Chesapeake and Ohio have picked up in all depart' ments during the last ten days, and the system is taking on force all along the line. The Southern Railway also reports a gratifying increase ot business. A very high railroad official, who is noted lor his conservatism, said yester day afternoon that he expected to see within tbe next year such activity at the Richmond - Locomotive-Works as the people of Richmond had never dreamed of. i Cold-Blooded Murder. A correspondent of the Star writing from Maxton, N. C. yesterday says: Last nigtft Mr, James Martin, living just across the State line, was shot in bed and killed by a negro, with whom Martin had had some trouble a few days before. Mr. Martin belongs to one of the best families in South Carolina, and the 'negro, if caught, will be roughly dealt with. Telegrams have been sent in all directions giving a description of the negro, while parties are searching at all points for bim, Officers here have been notified to be on the look-out for the murderer.

A New Move to Drive Ou Concerns from the Business The Iflcheme Said to Be an Inorease of Pneight v. Bates from Norfolk to New Yor . - What is alleged to be the latest move of "the Virginia Peanut Tipst is thus stated by the New York Wournat of Commerce: .'"' - 'Hi 1-'' The Peanut Trust, or Virginia Peanut Association, as it is called, if making a strong effort to drive the few outsiders out of the business, and its jitest .move has (Seen to obtain the increase in freight rates from Norfolk to New Mork on all lots less than a car-load, wbici is said to i have proved an injury to thd outsiders. The American Peanut Association was formed about a year ago of most of the cleaners in Virginia. Tbe firm's entering into it were the Merchants & Farmers', the Norfolk & Virginia Peanth Co., the Waverly Peanut Co., the Bjaine Pea nut Co.. the Norfolk Storage Pea nut Co.. the M. Levy po., Wil liams Peanut Co, Standard Peanut Co. Kind Gwaltney & Bunkljsy Peanut Co. In the new combine the firms keep their former names, but all orders have to be sent to the Association. Which dis tributes them among tbe different clean ing firms according to their stocks and business. It a dealer, here wants Mer chants & Farmers' goods be writes to that effect when he sends his order to the Association, but if the Merchants & Farmers Co. has already filled its quota of orders the order is sent to some other concern and tbe Northern buyer mast take the goods shipped bim. : Three firms of Deanut cleaners refused to go into the Trust, the principal of wnicn is tne cawaras t'eanut Co. These outsiders have been doing a jarge busi ness witn new i one lortne neason that they have supplied goods id small or large lots cheaper than the Association has furnished them. In othei words, the outsiders have delivered j goods in this market at the same price per pound that the Association charged for tbe same goods at the factories. Dealers here claim that tbeyj could save 19c per 100 pounds on the outsiders' goods. The Trust charged X&c per bag lor cartage in Norfolk, a Shing which was never done before in the history of the trade, and that added td the 18c per 100 pounds freight from Norfolk to New York, the cartage here and! the cost of the peanuts in Norfolk, which was 4c per pound, brmght the price of he Associa tion's goods up to 4c delivered here. while the outsiders would deliver their goods here at 4c Then the Trust charged more for small bag fcts than for car-loads, while the outsiders would sell small ;ots at the same figures as large. In time the outsiders pot so deeolv in to the trade of the Trust in tiis city that its otneers b:gan to cast abovt for some means to regain their control, and it is said that it was through their influence that the Old Dominion Steamship Co, recently advanced Us freight! rates on all lots of peanuts less than a car-load from 18c. to 28c. While this does not put a stop to the business of the Outsiders, it puis au cuckiivc luc(.& uuuu 11, lur a large portion of their trade wias in lots of 25, 50 or 100 bags. Dealers hp re are con siderably exercised over the natter, and it is said some interesting developments may be expected latter. A gentleman prominent in the peanut trade in this city, in conver ;ation with an active member of the Trust the other day. asked him this question: "I suppose the next move of the Trust will be to reluse to sell us goods, we who have thought from outsiders when pea nuts ocgin to get scarce, will it not ?" "No such action has been taken by the Trust as yet." was the teply, "but, of course we cannot tell what may be dene." "From the way be answered me," said this dealer to the writer, "I was led to be lieve that the Trust was already contem plating such a step." j . " .. Tbe supply of old peanuts begins to give out about the first of September and then the new crop is hardly ready for shipment, so that for a tiiie there is a lack of supplies, and it is feared that this year the outside cleaners will be unable to supply their ! customers, who will then be obliged to go to the Trust for goods. i j; EDWARD J.

Last night an attempt was made to as sassinate Daniel McDougald, who was tried at Fayetteville same tine since for the .murder of his uncle, Simon P. Conoly, in this county. McDougald was sitting on the piazza at the old Conoly homestead, about eighteen miles from Laurinburg, when ,he was fifed upon by an unknown party with a gun loaded with mixed shot. Several shot tof different sizes struck McDongald in tie head and neck. He went immediately his home, at Laurinburg, where the shpt were ex tracted by Dr. Prince. His wounds are not dangerous.

A Sufferer for Twelve months Cured. . Mr. Allen Leard, Pharmacist, Ches ter, S. C writes: "Gentlemen: We had just as soon be without quinine as to be out of Hughes' Chill Tonic. We believe we give our customers more value for their money in this than any other chill cure. One of the most wonderful cares of Chills and Fever came, under my ob servation. A . man suffering for about twelve months from a most obstinate attack of Chills and Fever tried every remedy that he could hear of, Sail to no purpose. I persuaded him o try a bottle of Hughes' Tonic; from tjhat time, over twelve months ago, he ha not had a chill. I am perfectly willing! for you - m - to use tnis letter as you may see nt. Sold by Druggists. Slaves to Their Homes. PHTSICIAKS: PRESCRIBE PAINE'S COMPOUND FOR CELERY S CE WOMEN. I There are thousands of tired women to-day on the verge of breaking down be cause they are martyrs to their own ideas of domestic duty. ' 'They are slaves to their homes; and their exalted notions of absolute order and cleanliness keep them from morning to night upon tbe rack of mental and physical torture until they grow old, care worn, nervous, irritable and sickly, in their foolish struggle with dust. Only the exceptionally strong can stand the debilitating j effect j of over heated rooms!. lack of fresh air and exer cise, over-burdened stomachs and the artificial, nervous, hurried life of so many good wives and mothers. Just as nature prompts young children to cry and grow irritable when hungry, so poorly fed, over-worked nerves cry out for their proper food by twinges of rheumatism and neuralgia. It is nature's language in each case, - Just as the fretting, crying child drops to refreshing sleep after being properly fed, exactly so the nervous system feels right away the equalizing, restoring ac tion of Paine's celery compound. A fair trial of this greatest of all reme dies brings j strength to tired, "run dowfl" men and women, and frees them permanently jfrom debility, heart palpi tation, despondent feelings and inability to sleep because of nervous weakness. Mrs. S. E. Welch, of Lynn, Mass.,' whose portrait appears above, writes as follows; 'I' "I was taken ill last January "with the grip, and it left me with the rheumatism in my hands and feet. My feet were swollen so bad and were so sore that I found it . hard work to walk.' My hus band brought me home two : bottles of Paine's celefy compound. Seeing that it was doing me good. I continued its use until I had taken five bottles, when I was ftee from rheumatism and have not had any since, j i "To-day I jean truly say that I am as well as I evef was in my life." That's it. I Paine's celery 'compound makes people well, i ' i j ALABAMA DEMOCRATS. Congreaaionalj Conventions Nominations Cleveland's Administration Endorsed. Hv Telegraph to' the Morning Star.

Harrison, passed resolutions unqualifiedly endors ing the administration of Cleveland, the "people's President," and closed with: "We commend him for his uufaltering integrity, his bold adherence to the right, his uncompromising fealty to his party and his country; and we look for ward for such results from his adminis tration as shall secure the fulfillment of our party's pledges, and the discom fiture of Republican misrule." SENATQR JONES. OF NEVADA, Formally Renounces His Allegiance to the Republican Party and Joins the Popu lists. By Telegraph to the Morning Star Washington, Sept. 4. The Evening Star to-day says: "To-day furnished a genuine sensation in political circles by the statement that Senator John P. Jones, of Nevada, who has represented his State in the United States Senate for over 21 years as a Republican, has for mally renounced his allegiance to that party and cast his lot with the Populists. Senator Jones bas written a letter to his constituency which will be published in Nevada to morrow and will be the first intimation to the people of that State that he has doffed the political garment which he has worn with such distinction for so many years, and will don the garb of the Third party. His intentions have ; been kept secret irom all but his roost intimate associates, and it was his intention to have the first, public announcement of his action made in tbe letter which will be published in bis political home. With this end in view, Senator Jones declined to-day to speak of tbe contents of his letter, but it is understood that his change of policy is based almost entirely upon the question ot silver." Senator Jones left Washington to-day for New York. His bolt makes the Nevada Congressional delegation solidly Populist, Senator Stewart having left the Republican party some time ago. Representative Newlands having ben elected as a silverite. SOUTH CAROLINA. Congressional Nominations by Democratlo Primaries. Bt Telegraph to the Morning Star. Columbia, S. C, September 4.
