EDIrTo MANNING Tnmsi-Believing that we should have true and tried advocates of the great reform movement in the State House at Columbia this winter, we offer for the State Senate the name of Maj. L. H. DESCHAMPS, who is a man of the people, thoroughly identified with the interests and sympathies of the masses, and in every re spect qualified. He is a Christian gentle man of the highest type, has the courage of his convictions, is a successful farmer, and rjoys the confidence of his neighbors, and ' e ask for him the vote of the people at the ensuing election, subject, however, to the action of the Democratic party at their nominating convention or primary election as may be agreed upon. MAEY VoTERs. July 1, 1890. Endorsed for the Legislature. At a meeting of Doctor Swamp Demo cratic Club held July 5, 1890, the following resolution was passed: - Resolved, That we request L. H. DES CHAMPS to--be a candidate for the Senate, and also request M. C.

Dinkins & Co. are agents for the celebrated Aqua-Crysfal spectacles and eye glasses. Call and eamine them.

Fresh arriyal of sugar cured hlams at ten cents per pound; also apple and white wine viinegar at Kalisky's. On our way down to Doctor Swamp last Saturday, we were pleased to see the fine condition of the crops. Mr. B. A. Walker has a crop of cotton, the finest we have seen this year, and we doubt if -it can be eacelled in the county. Mr. W. N. Royal has been promoted to the position of superintendent of the Northeastern and Central rail roads, with his headquarters in Charleston.

If so call on J.G.Dnkins & Co.and be fitted with apan: of Aqua-Crystal spectacles or eye glasses. On campaign day in Sumter last week, after Capt. Tillman made his speech, Mr. G. I. Lesesne, of Santee, went to his hotel and presented him with a pair of cuff buttons. The but tons were highly polished wild gob bier spurs mounted on gold, and are said to be very pretty. Capt. Tillmax after thanking Mr. Lesesne remarked that "Clarendon had spurred him on. The Antis are Weak. Friendship Democratic club was regularly reorganized last Saturday with tu-enty-.eten members, and a part of these had to be taken from th< Summrerton and Fulton clubs. The new club (Panola), sixty-seven strong which was organized a month ago, was present to a man, and of course could have captured the old club, but they magnanimously agreed to let th< Antis organize separately and thus se ure the greatest amount of repre setation. The Tillman faction is foi fair play, and will not be found at an: small tricks. After the Friendshil ,club got organized, and resolved tha no one shiculd be admitted to mem bership except by a two-thirds vot .of the club, they passed resolution ,which will be found in the Summertoa corespondence. Left Out. Owing to the sickness of one of our printers we are thrown a few hours behind this week. Two or three col umns of editorial, local, and news matter that we were very anxious to get in the paper is necessarily left out. The Campaign Liar. Beware the campaign liar who tells you something he does not /:now to be true, but says he hears it is true. The Antis are using every effort pos sible to defeatthe farmers' movement, and mony of them will not for a mo ment hesitate to promulgate what they believe untrue. When they tell you of slates, combinations, etc., ask. fox the author, trace it back, and you will find notja shadow of truth in it "The Tillmanites are Radicals and must be defeated," is their cry, and they will use any and every means to carry out their purposes. Doctor Swamp Picnic. Last Saturday the Doctor Swamp Alliance and Democratic club had a joint picnic at the residence of Mr. A. C. Lee, about five miles from Foreston, which was attended by fully three hundred :persons. Every ar rangement had been made to have things comfortable. Seats were arranged under the gin house, but when the hour arrived for the speaking there were scarcely seats enough for the ladies, and a great part of the crowd were forced to stand on the outside. Mr. J. W. Cole, president of the Doctor Swamp Alliance, called the meeting to order, and the exercises were commenced with a fervent prayer by Mr. Watts; and in a well timed address Mr. Cole extended a hearty I welcome in behalf of both organizations. He said that the alliance and club had join ed in giving this picnic, and that speakers had been invited to address them, but that they would not be confined to matters per taining to the alliance; if they desired to do so they could discuss the political situation, although the people of that community were hand in hand in their efforts for Till man and reform, and while anything in fa vor of Tillman would tend to strengthen them, yet they were all fully convinced that B. R. Tillman was the proper man for gov ernor. He then in a very complimentary manner introduced Capt. D. J. Bradham as the first speaker. Capt. Bradham in a very forcible manner discussed the issues of the day, and in a sound and logical argument showed the ne cessity of standing together. He gave his reasons for supporting the movement of the Farmers' Association, and at considerable length explained the Platform, closing by expressing the hope of seeing every one of them in Manning on the 26th inst. Capt. Bradham's speech was listened to with rapt attention and was frequently applaud ed. It was one of his best efforts. Mr. S. A. Nettles was next introducel, and his speech was also on the issues of the day. He advocated the Farmers' Platform, and especially advocated peace and good or der on the 26th. He did not want it said that the Clarendon Tillmanites made any attempt to -howl down a speaker, but that he hoped Clarendon would be the banner county for peace and good order. Mr. L. Appelt was also called upon. He stated that it was unnecesary for him to re iterate his position as he believed every body knew that he was heart and soul in favor of the movement now led by Ben Till man. He advised thorough organization: and harmonious work with each other. The: opposition are fully equipped for the fray, and unless the farmers were also, this would be a time when the minority would whip out the majority. The day had passed when men could be led about, and if there were any persons who could not support the Farmers' Platform and Ben Tillman now was the- time to-ma~ke it known and have their names stricken from the roll, but if they were in earnest in their efforts to sup port Tillman and the platform it would beI isulting to their manhood for even an at tempt to be make to lead them from their honest convictions. Mr. Harvey Mitchum followed in a happy speech, expressing his approval of seeing the people of his home once more asserting their rights and manhood. The president of the meeting then ex tended an invitation to any person who de sired to make a speech against the move ment, but this invitation was not re sponded to. Capt. R.RI. Hudgins was'then introduced, and in a dispassionate manner he stated his position and dwelt specially on advocating the 'mprovement of the free school system. Mr. L. L. Wells was called for and ac knowledged the compliment by rising and asking to be excused. Mr. Cole then introduced the last speaker, Mr. Joseph Sprott, Sr., whom he alluded to as one of the fathers of this county. When this grand old gentleman came forward love and veneration was depicted on every countenance, and he was received with a round of applause. He addressed the audi ence in a very pleasant manner, and closed his remarks by asking the audience to .join him in giving three cheers for Tillman, which they did heartily. He then asked those favoring Tiliman to stand, and every man rose with the exception of two, to which Mr. Sprott bowed his acknowledge ments and said "Tillman is elected." As soon as the speaking was over the crowd were invited to dinner, which was spread on tables arranged for the occasion under the trees, and we venture the asser tion that this dinner was never excelled by any picnic dinner ever given in this county. Everything that could temnpt a hungry appe tite was there in great abundance: chickens, barbecued mutton and pig, hams, vegeta bles, rice, pies, cakes, puddings, coffee, iced lemonade-but why try to enumerate ? There were four beautifully iced cakes on the ta ble, each bearing a motto: "Tillman and Re form," "The Broken Ring," "United we Stand," "Divided we Fall." Mr. John Barnes, president of the Doctor Swamp Democratic Club, called a meeting of his club for the purpose of letting them know that next Saturday was the <iay for the club to elect officers, and invited signa tures to his club roll. Several persons en rolled. He then requested Mr. J. H. Tim mons, the secretary of the club, to address theft, which he did in a ringing and sensi ble speech. He wanted it distinctly under stood that the members of this club were true blue Democrats, and no one but a Dem ocrat was wanted on their roll; that they were men and would not be influenced to go against their convictions, and the party who would have the audacity to try to bribe or influence them would meet with a scorn ful reception. This picnic was one of the most pleasant we have ever attended, and everything went off as happily as a wedding feast. Capt. Jos. Sprott voiced the sentiment of all pres -ent, when just before leaving he said "Iam glad I came: I have had a very pleasant time." iFarmers' Platform Democratic Club. Under instructions from the County Ex ecutive Committee, the Manning Farmers' Platform Democratic Club will meet in the court house, Saturday afternoon. July 19th. at 3 o'clock. Every member is urged to be present as business of importance will be before the club. Let every member be pres et promptly at 3 o'clock. S. J. Bows, S. A. NETTLES, Secretary. President. Pudding Swamp is for Tililman. SANDY GRovE, J 14.--A meeting was called for the purpose of reorgan izing the old Sandy Grove Democratic club, but after the call was made we - learned of the action of the county executive committe, and decided not eto organize until the 19th. The sen timent of the meeting was solid for >the farmers' movement and Tillman. t iWe are needing rain very much - down here on the swamp, more es e pecially the corn crop. s The health of the community is a tolerable good. Items scarce. SwAM TITE. Summerton News. SUMMrox, July 14.-We haven't had rains enough in the village to wet the ground a half inch deep for nearly four weeks. The gardens and crops in and around here are in a bad fix. A large crowd attended the meet ing in Sumter last Wednesday from this section. The fuss and confusion beggars description. If the confusion at the building of Babel could beat it I am not surprised at the people forgetting their language. Such meet ings are a disgrace to the political honor of the State. Lieut. Cabaniss and family are boarding at Mrs. Ingram's, and will be here for the summer. We are glad to welcome the Lieut. and family back to the village. The Friendship Democratic club met on last Saturdlay evening to or ganize. After a long parley between the straightouts and 'the Tillmanites an agreement was come to: the Till manites withdrew from the old club and will organize a Panola club on next Saturday. The old club organ ized by electing J. 0. Brock, presi dent; A. L. Lesesne, vice president; A. D. Rhame, secretary and treasurer. The following resolutions were pass ad: WHEREAs, we, the farmers and members )f the Friendship Democratic club, believe that the State administration since 1876 bas been honest, wise, and economical. and that our State offiials have performed their respective duties honestly and faithfully; Resoved 1st. That we denounce as un warranted and untrue, the charges of fraud md corruption. against the administration Af the State government, and its officials, by public men, now seeking the honors and emoluments of the State offices. 2nd. That we are heartily opposed to elass legislation, realizing fully that to ob tain confidence, promote progress, and en joy unity and prosperity, all classes mnst be fully represented; thereby securing abso lute protection to all and special privileges to none. 3rd. That we pledge ourselves to abide the result of the State convention to be held in Columbia September 10th, and support the nominee, whether our choice or not, 'rom a sense of Democratic duty. 4th. That we express our condemnation mud raise our voice of stern rebuke against the disgraceful insult offered at Aiken to the Eon. Wade Hampton. An interesting game of base ball was played here last Friday between the Summerton and Juneville clubs. The game was well played and was argely attended. Mr. J. Elbert Davis ampired the game.

We rejoice to know that our community is pos sessed with the greatest health; crops luxuriant; all our farmers wear a smile. It is a time of activity, energy, and promise. It was my good fortune to attend a festival at the Panola Academy the night of the 11th. It was a special night for every one who desired to participate in the pleasures of life. Capt. D. W. Brailsford in his usual way rendered pleasant greeting, and I believe everybody had a delightful time. On the 12th I attended the reorgan ization of the old Friendship Demo cratic club at Panola. Efforts were made to unite the two factions: the Tilman and Anti-Tillman. The Pa nola club, lately formed, was out sixty seven strong. No agreement could be reached, hence the Panola retains its present organization. Friendship reorganized with twenty-seven men. This part of the county is largely Till mau. Mr. C. R. Felder, president of the Panola (Tillman) club made quite a lengthy speech. It had the right ring; the speaker reviewed the past, contrasted the present, dealing some heavy blows to the Anti-Tillman fac tion. Much comment has been made on the Sumter meeting. It was the most riotous and disgraceful affair I ever attended. This is a campaign of ed ucation, but the Anti-Tiliman men don't want enlightenment. They are responsible for all confusion that day at Sumter. I regret there is so much bad feeling engendered. It seems to be gaining strength over here; men speak rashly, entirely unbecoming about Capt. Tillman, use disrespect ful language about those of us who propose to see things for ourselves. This ought not to be so, you never will get all men to think alike; all men will not vote alike; free speech is one of the guardians of our liberties; the right of suffrage belongs to every cit izen of the IUnited States: to exercise that right fully is the duty of every man. The C. S. & N. Railroad put an ex cursion train on the road on the 9th with certain promises. I suppose the passengers aboard numbered five or six hundred. Every delay possible was made by the managers of the train. It is charged in common con versation that this delay was made to prevent the Tillmanites from reaching Sumter on schedule time. What sur prised us more the train was stopped for three quarters of an hour on a long trestle. CoL. Fowler should explai why this was done. He is charged with having it done; the people de mand of him an explanation. It is due an enraged community who have a right to this explanation: they pai their fare; the train was due at Sum ter by his own appointed time but failed to reach there on time. It is said that several of our citi zens have combined to prevent Col Earle from speaking at Manning; this I believe to be false in every particu lar. We know Col. Eaile's strength they follow him from county to coun ty; the people have their eyes open this battle of Rosebecque the ori flamme was displayed by Sir Peter de Villiers who bore it. Some say, as they find it written, that it was never before displayed against Christians, and that it was a matter of great doubt during the march whether it should be displayed or not. Howev er, the matter having been fully con sidered, they resolved to display it, because the Flemaings followed opin ions contrary to that of Pope Clement, and called theimselves Urbanists; for which the French said they were re bellious and out of the pale of the church. This was the principal cause why it had been displayed in Flan ders. Proof was made of its virtues at this time, for all the morning there was so thick a fog that with difficulty could they see each other, but the moment the Knight had displayed it and raised his lance in the air, this fog instantly dispersed and the sky was as clear as it had been during the whole year. The Lord d'Estonnenort told me that he saw, as well as several others, when the oriflamme was displayed and the fog dispersed, a white dove fly many times round the King's bat talion. When it had made several circles, and the engagement was about to begin, it perched on one of the King's banners. This was considered a fortunate omen. The King of France gained the victory. The belief that the oriflamme or oriflame had .been sent from heaven; that the-fog dispersed because it was displayed; and a white dove perched on one of the King's banrers, was due to the superstition and imagina tion of the geople of that age. This battle was fought, and the ac count of it written during the dark ages or middle ages, the period of time between the fall of the Roman Empire and the Renaissance or re vival of learning. When knowledge, religious and political, was confined to Romish priests and cloisters; when the art of printing was not known, and the light of the Reformation had not shined upon the world; when might made right, and war and plun der was the business of kings, dukes, and princes. .r. M. n. Greeleyville, July 12, 1890. WHAT DOES IT MEAN? "100 Doses One Dollar" means simply that Hood's Sarsaparilla is the most ecoiomical medicine to buy, because it gives more for the money than any other preparation. Each bottle contains 100 doses and will average to last a month, while other preparations taken according to directions, are gone in a week. Therefore, be sure to get Hood's Sarsaparil la, the best blood purifier. Salem Solid for Tillman. EDIToR MANNIXG TDm:-Salem's drought of three weeks or more came to a close recently with a series of re freshing showers, not without, howev er, leaving its blighting imprint upon the crops generally. With anything like average seasons from now on there will be at least two thirds of a corn crop made, with the heaviest cotton crop in this section's history. We have been mingling recently to a considerable extent with the people holding the various shades of political coloring, and find that the Braterlites are gradually assuming a decided au relian hue, and we confidentially ex pect at no distant day to witness a complete evolution with a general shaking off of tails. From the diagnostic signs observed the Surater meeting did throw a wet blanket around the livid, shivering form of that huge amphibious mon ster whom we are told bellowed him self hoarse to dispel if possible that dreadful malady, congestion, but find ing in it no balm for his wounds is actually getting ready to take some Tillman restorative. W~e, the Tillman ites of Salem, being of sympathetic natures and lovers of 'charity, will see to it that our mites go into the mis missionary box on the 26th for the purpose of having on hand an ample supply .of cordial for the real needy. However. Mr. Editor, we have an other class, the Protoearlitemanites. We class them the crocodilus species, genera lizard, whose chief character istic, from the highly sensitive nature of its epidermis, is to imbibe the col oring matter of whatever it comes in contact with, having the peculiar trait of exchanging one csos~ng for an other as often as changes are made, always holding the last. This class will be looked after by the very gracious and unique sympathies of the candidates of the various -hues, and regaled from Wolkoviskie's and Weinberg's campaign headache cor dial, that is really a specific in its way. We hear of no new political devel opments by the Braterlites in Salem; they are in a hopeless minority and will soon be over on the Tillman side, for they naturally lean towards the evolution theory anyway. They are getting into awful straits for the evo lution portion of the pulpit are com ing to their aid, but into the quick sands they will ultimately go, whether evolution be true or false. rAIANT.

If straightoutism could but see they are invading the rights and privilegs of the citizens of every county by these persistent efforts to force upon our people their political notions and methods, and by trying to force our people to adopt measures calculated to oppose their wishes. Let Col. Earle keep his followers from invading every county, as was done in Sumter: this in my opinion will give peace. Will the Peniten tiary, the South Carolina University, and Haskell attempt to run it over Clarendon as lie tried to do at Sumter? A candidate must see his inevitable doom when he has to bolster up his strength wherever he speaks by im porting men and boys from all parts of the State. This seems to be the way that Earle gets his following. Clarendon county has a majority for Tillman, and there will be no dis turbance at Manning on the 26th, unless the threat is carried out which I hear is made at Columbia. It is ths duty of every good citizen to keep the peace, an(d I kn9w the voters who favor Capt. Tillman want peace, but they are determined to nominate him as their choice. 'rox. "The People are Misicuiided Fools." EDITon Mxxixa Tuims:-If the grand army of reformers who are bearing the victorious Tillman ban ners on to the sea needed one word of cheer it was abundantly furnished in the mad antics of those pure and disinterested patriots who again met in Columbia on last Thursday to de vise more desperate remedies and measures to "save the State." It now appears that the free and uninter rupted flow of public pap for fourteen years in a certain carefully guarded channel has so inflated and developed the imbibers that in their now im mense corporosity and egotism they constitute the State, and to save the dear old commonwealth it is essential they be given life tenure of office. What a disgusting spectacle is the po iltical death-throe of these perpetual office holders! How hard they die! While the conference was not com posed as a whole of the office holders they were nevertheless there in the interest of and at the earnest solicita tion of these gentry as put forth by their mouth-piece, "the great mogul" at Columbia. Note too the temper and attitude of these would-be dictators when they had assembled. The first speech after the installation of officers was delivered by a Broad street Char leston lawyer, full of blood, thunder, defiance, and insult. He swore that the sovereign will of the people of the State as now being expressed in thun der tones for Tilllman as their chief executive should never be fulfilled. The clearly defined choice of three fourths of the voters of the State for their next governor set at defiance by the powers that be. The News and Courier declared that this escape of Broad street gas fairly enthused the faithful, and the meeting went wild: the hoary headed senators, the ring, and their sympathizers in their im pending fate so near and certain, clam bered upon chairs and frantically tossed their hats in the air. The nieet ing, therefore, by their action, enthu siastically endorsed this revolutionary declaration, and has thus served time ly notice upon us. We will be certain to furnish them the occasion, and we defy them to try it. Being so long and loudly applaud ed, this Broad street Demosthenes loses his head, and insultingly declares that he and his brother patriots are fighting an enemyi unscrupulous and skillful Was ever a grosser insult thrown in the teeth of a party ? who have not deserved it, and should promptly re sent it by holding the Hon. Joseph W. Barnwell, of Charleston, to speedy account. Now, sir, in contrast with this bom bast, which clearly reveals the animus of our opponents, let us recall the loyal and patriotic words of the heroic Tillman. He declared in his address to the March convention that this was purely a family quarrel; that the fight would be made strictly within the party lines; and that he who received the nomination for governor would receive his hearty and unqualified sup port. This he has continuously re peated from the rostrum, and I have yet to know a Tillmanite but that swears eternal allegiance to the party and an enthusiastic support of the September convention candidate for gov~rnor. As opposed to this fealty and adherence to party hear the moans and bickerings of the Antis. The mayor of Columbia says he will leave the State upon Gov. Tillman's in auguration; the editor of the News and Courier prefers a return to Republican ism, so reported; and King Joseph, of Broad street, Charleston, summarily disposes of the whole matter by swearing he shall not be inaugurated at all. But, sir, with the glow of an as sured victory already pervading our being, and with the magnanimity of brave conquerors filling our hearts, Iwe have already forgiven and will soon forget these undemoc~ratic, un brotherly, and ungenerous speeches. July 14, 1890. PANOLA. Titilman, The Oriflamme. Enrron: MIAxxa Trinm:-At a po litical campaign meeting lately held in Columbia, S. C., R1ev. Ellison Ca pers, who commanded a regiment and attained the rank of brigadier general in the Confederate army, said, "Jim Tillman wvas the oriflamme of my reg iment." The word oritlamme was used met aphorically, and in order to realize fully the compliment paid, its original meaning must be understood. It will then be seen that no higher praise could be given by a military officer to a private soldier of his command. 'I find the following in the chroni cles of Sir John Froissart, who wrote in the 14th century. He is describing the battle of Rosbecque, fought on pIounr. de Or, the Thursday before Advent, November 27th, 1:382, be 'tween the King of France and the Flemings led by Philip von Artaveld. The orifiamme was a sort'or ganfanon or red pennon fixed to the end of a lance. It was a sacrcd banner, care fully preserved, of a red color, and had the name of St. Dionysius on it. It was never called out but on the most urgent occasions, when the king himself was present, and displayed solely against heretics. It was a most excellent banner, and had been sent down from heaven with great mys tery, and is of much comfort in the J. D. RUTLEDGE. E. A. TINDAL.
