Then peace rill wave her banners to the breezes. taking charge of the police of all fie towns and cities of the State, Govrnor Tillman either intends to back own from his obnoxious and autoratic methods of enforcing the dispeniry law, or he wishes to produce colssions in every town as was done in arlfngton. As he is not one of the ack down kind, he probably wants fie collisions and bloodshed. Let the i>ol, conservative citizens of both paries be on their guard to prevent disarbances of any sort. Darlington is ot the only town in which the Governor would like to see a few people iot down. Oar people should not ive him the shadow of a chance to ave this done. The Washington Correspondent of fie New York Sun of last Saturday: (,The contest between Gov. Tillman nd Butler of South Carolina for the srm beginning the 4th of March next, i apt to b? very bitter. It waa ill-nanred enough before the recent "inear?ction" in the Palmetto State, and nd that event haa bat added fael to tie flamea. It reeently came to the enator'a ear* that the Governor had itimated that he had better remain in Washington and attend to bia datiee i anticipation of an indefinite far>agh. Thia led the Senator to remark >-day: "Yea, it ia eery natural that Got. 'illman ahoald not want me in the tate, of all men in the world. I paneare the bubblea he blow* up, and of aarae he doea not reliah that. I'll com* are record of absence from oar poet* f duty with him. When I have been way from my poet, il has been in the itereat of peace and harmony among I Mr: Editor; Kindly {rive us 6pace In your paper to reply to an article by Rev. J E. Covington in your issue ol 11th instant. W e regret very much that Mr. Covington has forced us into this controversy. There is seldom any bsneflt to either party from such controversies arirt tViev nfr<>n hard feelincrs. We are forced, in justice to ourselve.-, and the Wellford Academy, to deny certain charges brought against us in Mr. Covington's communication. We deny that the Pierian School has any lawful claim whatever to any part of the'public school fund of the Wellford School District. That school is a denominational institution. This fact Mr. Covington does not, and can not, deny. We are told by ft member of the County Board?himself a Baptist?that Mr. Covington came to him and said: 4,Tbe Baptists of Wellford have decided to withdraw from the Wellford 8chool and organize a Baptist school, and asked him to recommend a good Baptist teacher." It was generally understood in the community that the "Pierian" was to to be a Baptist school. Mr. Covington refers to an effort to establish a non-denominational school in the center of the town. At that time Trustees were chosen. Plans were formed. Subscriptions were taken. A suitable lot was bought, and the titles drawn and delivered to the Trustees. Lumber was laid down on the lot. About this time at a meeting of the Trustees, the chairman?a Baptist?informed the Board that he was instruc ted to say that unless the Baptist controlled the school they would have nothing more to do with it. Thus failed the enterprise, and not because, as Mr. Covington assert*, sufficient funds could not be raised. Then as Mr. Covington states the Baptists chose live Trustees, four members of their church, all li log outside of the school District; who erected a suitable building and elected teaehers, the Principal being a Baptist. We thought, until recently, our friends were perfectly satisfied. A short time since we were called to appear before the County Board of Examiners, the Pierian school having petitioned for a part of the public fands of our school district. After a full and impartial investigation, each side being represented by good legal talent, the County Board unanimously offered this lesolution: "Whereas, it appears to the B^ard of Examiners that the Pierian school is under the management of a Board of Trustees not elected by the free halders of Wellfordjschool district, as provided by law; and that the teachers employed in said school were not chosen by the Public School Board the .appeal from the decision of the Public School Board of Wellford School District in relation to the division of publio.school funds is not sustained/' We have no ill will whatever towards the Pierian school. We wish it great success, but have always considered it a private enterprise, with which, we as trustees, have nothing whatever to do. Mr. Covington states: "That the local school authorities have persistently set themselves against any improvement of the school, claiming that it must be devoted to instruction-in primary branches alone." *Tn this statement he contradict^ hixselfi -saying much a htgh scliool as to its curriculum is the Pierian." m ; We have a good school, tanght by a most competent teacher, a graduate of the Nashville Normal <^>llege, Prof. J. H. Teague, with an enrollment of 43 pupils?33 in actual attendance last week (although Mr. Covington allows us only 28), only one under age, and none from outside of the district. Our school doors are open to every scholar t the district that is entitled to bene* t of free school fund good ground wetting rain.

Kershaw. , Ex-Judge Joseph Brevard Kershaw died at bis borne in Camden Friday night about 10 o'clock in the 73d year of his 8ge. He was so distinguished for justice, fairneFs and genuine^ manhood that all classes and political factions respected him while living and honored him when dead. As soldier, ' citizen, lawyer and judge his record was that of a true and good man. The Hon. Joseph B. Kershaw first saw the light in Camden, S. C., January 5,1899, and was educated principally in that plan?- For a time he waa a student is the Orphans' Society Aoademv at Camdea, and at the age of 19 entered the office of J. M.

After the addr< sees were over Pocahontas Tribe and their visitors repaired to the Jervey House where a n ost enmtnons repast was awaiting them. After this was disposed of in a manner that did the bretheren credit, the speakers of the evening were introduced as follows: ? The Great Council of South Carolina ?Past Grand Sechem W. H. Thomas. -x PocahontkF OT&e? Past* Sachem 0. Conley. Oar Sister Societies?Past Master, H. 0. Moses. Woman?Rev. C C. Brown. It is needless to say that this feature of the program was carried oat to the delight and satisfaction of everyone^ Rev. C. C. Brown's talk en Woman vu especially bamoroaa an throughly characteristic of the speaker?Sumter Freeman. People are talking about harmony, and getting together and living in peaee and all that, sort of thing. There U no trouble about that. Just let everybody abuse Cleveland and the national Democracy. Pitch into towns, btnks, factories, lawyers and merchants. Hvethe Haskellites particular fits. If a man hints that Tillman eaa make a mistake, or that Jagari Evam is not the smartest man in the State, denounce him as an enemy, a dog, a bnzsard and a moccasin. Do not believe that any one is honest or trnthf al unless he is "with us." Oa that platform all can stand and there will be no jostling or crowding. Since the Darlington trouble then has been tome sharp political prospect ing done to asoertain wbat the results are. All subsequent events indicate that Tillman, Irby and Jagari Evaui either cooeocted the plan for political purposes, or else they availed themselvee of the difficulty to pormote tbeli political aims. Bat up to date It seems a drawn battle, ^The two factions o Reformers stand about where tbey die before. It is said that many Reformer! in the counties lately in "rebellion" in cline to the Conservative wing of Reformers. In 8partanbarg county thej stand where they did before. So "hon ora are easy" as to advantages gainee by either faction.
