I am trying to rewire a chandlier, what wires go where?

Smooth side goes to black, or the gold screw on a socket.
Ribbed side goes to white, or the silver screw on a socket.

Is that what you mean? It is hard to tell from the original post. :confused:

Uhh... the wires that carry electric current go to the electrical connection points.

Really, we need a lot more information.
