Larry Gantton Reform.
The Piedmont Headlight, which
! lias been one of I he strongest l?e- j
j form papers in the State ever]
| since its establishment, and which
i has ^backed uj)"' uearly every
Reform office holder and Reform
measure through all its lile, is
getting pretty throughly disjrus-1
led with the way things are being
! managed and in a very lengthy
!editorial last week editor Larry
jdantt, in speaking of the x elbrm ,
(movement says:
I The people were promised by
1 heir Reform leaders:
i 1. Rotation in office.
2. A reduction in taxes.
3. An economical administra
lion of the State government.
The poorpeople constitute the
backbone of the Reform movement,
and their locality and de
votion to their leaders showed
their faith and their gratitude.
For six years they remained as
true to their old leaders as tlie
needle to the pole, and so indelibly
were the great principles of
reform implanted 011 their hearts
that they upheld Tillman even
when he was advocating that they
be loaded down with a $3 poll
tax, which ment bread and raiment
to many poor families.
Now, after six years' trial what
do we find?
Has theie been any rotation in
office? Go to Columbia and vou
will sec the same men in power
who were planted there more
than six years ago.
Has there been any reduction
in taxes? While the wealth 01
mtr li ;i? inrrpnspil mnnv
millions of dollars, taxes are
equally as high, and in some
counties even higher, than when
our reformers took charge of the
government. On the other hand
thex burden placed upon our
poorer classes has beeti largely
augmented. Even the fertilizers
that the tenant farmer lises under
his mortgaged crop is taxed to
maintain a college where only
the sons of rich or well-to-do men
can be educated. In fact, a big
shortage has been discovered in
the treasury, and the dispensary
receipts, given by the constitutional
convention to educate the
poor children of our Slate, have
been stolen from our little ones
and turned over to the State treasurer
to pay the running expenses
of the government.
Has there been an ecouomieal
administration oft he government?
While the farmer must sell his
crops' below actual cost of production,
not only have additional
and high-salaried offices been oreatad,
but whenever an effort is
made in the legislature to cut
I
i salaries state officials organize
themselves into a band of lobbyists,
and reset the plane of retrenchment
and reform so as to
cut the thinnest shave possible,
and which will fool the ptopb.
Look at the dispensary and its

is true that the axe of reduction
