t , >Iu. Tillman, it appears from the
newspapers, denies the truth of the
matters contained in Mr. Ancrum's
Wtoiv Somebody. evidently, is badly |
in error".
What has become of the savings
bank proposed by the Alliance? This
was a move in the right dire lion, and
we had hoped that the Alliance would
successfully execute the scheme.
1^,1 Says th? (<re?'nvilie Xeics: "Let
everv fillm i:i mitn stand to his
gu;is nutil the !a*t is fired, doing
all he can t? ket-p ?! ?* n stride bat plac-:

we i>ay hiik-h.
No one that opposes Gen. Bratton
for Governor, with any reason whatever,
can deny his absolute justice and
fairness in private or political life.
No one dreams that General Bratton
would use any trickery or any underhanded
method to injure our person
for the sake of another. Every Democrat
can safely rely upon receiving his
due in any matter that would come
before such a Governor. General
I>ration's record in the past proves
this.

If the Alliance would unite with a
determination to reduce the tariff, the
condition of the farmer would be
greatly improved and we would not
hear of the err of high taxes and the
need of retrenchment and reform in
the State Government. The trouble is
the tariff has become more and more
burdensome each year ana as it is an ?
indirect tax its great depression upon
the farmer is merely passive. The
farmer is not conscious of the real
cause of his burden. This fact was
predicted by John C. Calhoun years
- ago.
*1 u
"We will attention to the letter of
Col Lipscomb, Superintendent of the
penitentiary, which reputes the
. charge that the institution had been a
burden to the State and wa^. not self
supporting. Some time ago we made
the statement that the penitentiary
was making clear money and our
authority for the assertion was the
official reports of the institution winch
we then had in our possession. We
know of one intelligent and honest
man who confidently believed that the
assertion made by Capt. Tillman was
tme until he was shown the reports.
If there ar? any more doubting ones,
we can show thein from the records
that the penitentiary has paid money
into the State treasury above expenses.
Read Col. Lipscomb's letter for the
figures, and you will see how the penitentiary
is xnanaged.
| X? Walk Over for Anyone.
Much of Captain Tillman's strength
has come from the adhesion of those
who, in the language of Pickwick,
v desire to "shout with those who shout
the loudest," and assumed that the
voting would be measured by the
shouting". There are many such votes
in the State.
Another large portion of Captain
Tillman's strength has come from
those who believed that the governt
*?
ment had been corrupt and needed a
cleansing. These have found that
such charges were without foundation,
and they are drawing- off.
On the other hand many did not
approve of Capt. Tillman's candidacy,
yet seeing no strong show of opposition
took for granted he would be
elected, held their peace. J5ut now
w that they see so many others of their
wav of thinking thev are encouraged I
to speak out and to unite.
"While it is impossible to predict the
result, it is now conceded there will
be no walk over for anybody, and that
the advocates of Bratton and Earle are
growing stronger every day, while
September is yet a good while oft".
Political Inconsistences
We wish our readers to ponder the
following fact*.
For yiar* the Democrats of Laurens
have drutanded a State primary,
i Lauteno led the movement in the State
Convention four jears ago. Nttwthey
r~' oppose if.
In the beginning of the campaign the
Charleston World claimed that Tillman
had carried ADDevuie oy a vow; 01
2,SOO to 900. Now the alleged 2,800
refuse to enter a primary against the
alleged 900.
The fundamental plank of the March
platform calls for a State primary to
be held in August it is reported that
the last conference of Captain Tillman's
adeoca.es opposed the primary.
The object of the March Convention
was said to be the breaking up of bossistn
and packed conventions uud cut
and dried tickets. Col. E. B. Gaiy
says he was offered the caudidacy for
U Lieuteuant Governor by Cap J. Shell.
Another object was "toi have a
change." Capt. Tillman is jhe only
candidate on the ticket who has" not
held office before. If is a fanners' <
ticket, c>?ni{)'?^ed <>t one fanner and
five lawyers.
It Win coiiaitlered important not to
have ilelcyateb chosen until Ati^u>t.
r r > i I.Ka
L".?r-Hfcf Hampton, union ami
ville ijjtVe rlecu'd delegates already for
conventions.
We ire informed that ilie Union ami
Laurens conventions are not based on
population or membership. Each
township sends the >ame number 01
delegate?, regardless of the voting'
strength. Yet the strongest card
Captain Tillman plays is that about
apportionment.
Two years ago Captain Tillman who
was avowedly not a candidate followed
Governor Richardson around the State
making speeches. Now his followers
denounce the County Chairmen that
allow any other than candidates to
?peak.
These inconsistence* may not hear
fruit at present, owing to the heated
canvass which blinds reason. But
they are bound in the long run to react
disastrously on tho>e who practice
them in the face of their own protest
against holism and suppression of the
will vf;he people.
X'atfonal Politics.
Don't loose sight of national politics,
even though we are in the midst of a
sea of political turmoil at home.
Issues of untold importance are
transpiring at the National Capital and
unless our whole people unite their
whole might and power to help overthrow
the adverse tendencies of Federal
misrule, we will suffer such a
onoc/vn tv-fonTiv miso-overnmeut.
as has scarcely been equalled in the
most perilous times of our history.
Teach the rising generation to study
national questions, and impress on
thctn how a misdirected national
policy affects even the most secluded
spots in our country.
There is much corruption in national
affairs, it always has been more
or less so and when our people were
free from the existence of present
conditions, we had more thorough students
iu the principles of government;
and such a galaxy of brilliant statesmen
as we had in the earlier days of
the Republic has never been equaled
eveu in this age of intellectual
culture auu SCieHllllC auuicycmcnu-'.
The great questions of our government
and its policy which our forefathers
discusscd with all the foresight
and patriotism of true statesmen are
no* become the property of shrewd
politicians, and made the agents of a
narrow sectionalism and it takes ihc
united effort of all our j>eople to stem
the tide with wh'ch a tyraunical
federal legislation is trying to sweep
our country.
To study these things is to learn
more of our government, to get a
better insight into its principles and to
be more able to see the results of bad
legislation on all sections of our coun
try.
"We are so situated now that we
overlook outside politics in the present
crisis at home and vre think tbat the
results of the iniquitous tarill are responsible
in a great measure for the
oriw-Lf that some of our
people are charging the conduct of our
own state affairs with having produced.
There has been no more equitable
administration of public affairs any
where than we have had in South
Carolina, and th* charges of fraud
and corruption that have been made
against her, have been trumped up by
shrewd politicians in our midst with
le?s of patriotic desire, and more for
office gain thau comes from the tru'y
disinterested statesman.

simply pooh-poohed the whole thing;
but like Banquo's ghost it would not

It seems strange to an intelligent
mind. Yet nevertheless true,
they are all 4<of a sameness/' and
almost compel the belief that the
edition was stereotyped. Of all weak
arguments emanating from great
minds, they most assuredly cap the
climax. One moat doughty Senator
from the great State of Alabama, is so
hard pressed for arguments, as to
resurrect the wild cat schemes of

I Fairfield's l-'avorlte Son?A Prosperous
Citizen of Union -Other Matters.
| Messrs. Editor*: We took advantage
of our vacation 10 maKe a uvuix mt>
to Union, and thought lhat we would
"ive tiie read its of our newsy and undaunted
county paper. The News axd
Herald, some of the things we heard
and >aw along the route. In company
with man's best and truest companion,
his wife, we hoarded the train at Shelj
tjn and were soon flying through the
i once fertile fields of Union County.
We do not mean bv this language to
sa> that all of Union County is a waste,
onlv a part of what we saw along the
line of railroad from She 1 ton to Union
C. 11. After leaving the town by private
conveyance, traveling westward
in the direction of Laurens, we saw
ome as fine crops as ever grew, particularly
about Col. McBeth's and
alonj* Tiger and Fair Forest livers,
also in and around Cross Keys. /
The people whom we met were
cheerful, and judging from the general
appearance of their surroundings they
were prospering. Cheeriulness is one
of the best evidences of prosperity, and
whenever met with is sure to be surrounded
bv a sufficiency of the necessaries
of life. We do not hesitaie to
say that we believe the industrious
farmers of Union are about as contented
a set of yoomaiirv as we have
met eutside of Fairfield. They are

ready to lend a helping hand to ihe deserving
needy. They also seem to be
waking np to the advantages of railroad
facilities, which needs no mention
here. Politically, Union goes for Tillman
for Governor. Cut our own big
hearted Braiton has uiany friends in
Union County, even those who differ
with him politically are personally his
friends. And amrty the many with
whom it was our pleasure to talk not
one ever spoke a single word ajainst
him. JLJnt how could they? A man
whose character is spotless, whose inj
tegrity is undoubted, and whose pa|
trioiism is too pure to be touched by
the pcil 01 me bisuueais, iswunnv uui
only of their kind words, but we believe
that he i? entitled to the generous
support of every voter in South
,Carolina.
Allow us to borrow a little from the
immortal Hayne. No milter what be
the condition of the domest ic affiirs of
South Carolina, though deprived of
her resources, surrounded by diffi
cnlties, or divided by parties, the c:ill
of his State hag always been to him as
the voice from liod. A* a private
soldier, as a company's officer, a* a
regimental commander, a* a Brigadier
Gei.eral, a? an officer of fctate, as a
repre*etilative of his Slate at the
National Capital, and us a farmer and
! private ei^zcu, duty has ever been his
wartchward, and he performed it. with
a zealous care and due regard to
good ending. We sincerely hope that
au era will soon dawn upon us when
the scrutiny of our observant people
will be more considerate, an era when
errors in speech will not be construed
into intentional falsehood nor mistakes
in the complicated affairs of our gov
eminent construed into theft. But let
ilie names (hat have so long shone
brightly upon the escutcheon of our
grand old commonwealth continue to
shine until they sink by something
more tangible than mere surmise.
What thev are, of what they have been
will not detract fro in ttie honest effort*
of any man who desires to ekvate himself
among his fcllowmeu, but, on the
other hand, it will be an inspiration to
lift him to the higher spheres of life.

of Isaac Van Wert, who with
John Paulding and David Williams,
captured Maj. Andrew near Tarrytown.
Her maiden name was Miss M.
Kale Van Wert. This briugs us back
to our humble sphere at home where
duty stares us in the facc whichever
way we turn. Well, we accept it in
good faith, and will try to act our part.
The crops from Feasterville to Monticello
are very promising, and unless
they are cut off by storm or drought
an abundant harvest will crown the
efforts of the farmers in this section.

the mule hitched to the plow; after
having been gone for some time the
! mule, of his own accord, turned into
I the rows and dragged the plow after
j him till lie had dragged it twice
I through each row and then went to
the house. Bring in another mule.
We neglected to mention before that
Union is far ahead of Fairfield in the
number of her candidates for county
offices. She already has twenty-nine
in the tield and too re tu hear from.
Among those announced is a lady lor
School Commissioner, Miss Eliza A.
Garner. She proposes to conduct the
duties of the office for $140 per annum
and donate the balance of her salary to
geneial school purposes.
Politics are assuming interesting
proportions in and around Monticello.
The Dratlon men are confident, while
the Tillman men are equally so. Saturday
will relieve the minds of both
parties, as on that day the great question
as to who the people of Monticello
will support for Governor will be decided.
Will the voters of Fairfield allow
this golden opportunity to honor a
faithful servant escape them? Is there
any reason for it? More anon.

in ! lie World of Jul v lhe Olh he Is
quoted us saying: "Let us revert 10 ^
ttie penitentiary. Here are 800 convicts.
Instead of lessening your tax,
it has had to go into the State House
and borrow money to run itself."'
Tuis occurred at La n caste.
In the Xeics and Courier of July the |
10th, in the report of the Sumter meet
ing, there appears this passage: "L'n- |
der the head of 'further rascalit\' Cap- j
tain Tillman paid his respects to tlw? 5
conduct ot the penitentiary, declaring j
it to be a burden on the people instead f
of a support to itself."
If Captain Tillman had had any ctesire
whatever to be fair and truthful in
his statements in regard to the pewtentiarv
he could with very little
trouble have secured the reports of the
ihsiituiion for all oi" the years since I
have had the honor to preside over it.
aud would thereby have seen that there
was no earthly excuse for making the
statements he is reported to have made.'
In the annual report of the peuiten- ]
tiary lor t he ti>ical year endiug October
31st, 188S, there occurs this statement:
'There seems to be a disposition on
the party of many of the citizens of the
State to complain that the penitentiary
is not self-supporting-, and that it should
be made a revenue to the Stale, particularly
since the General Assembly
granted the loan to us two years ago.
While I do not agree with those who
think that the prison should be made a
source of revenue, 1 do agree with
those who desire to sec it self-supporting,
and I think it proper at this timu
to reproduce here a statement which
appeared in my report for the year
rr?ifl? of'lijltwino oo T
iOW UVj YTicll OUVU CtUUillVS HO AO J, Lllllia
necessary to express in money value
what lias been done by the prison in
the last ten \ ears, and to show conclusively
to any unprejudiced mind
that it has been largely more than selfsustaining."

follows*

The engineer of the Columbia canal,
m ws repurt xur me years isoo-oo,
states that there had been expended in
the prosecution of the work 244,193
days labor. Besides this there was
expended a large amount of labor on
the same enterprise before and after his
connection with it amply sufficient, in
my judgment, to make a total of 250,00*0
days' labor, which I have put at 50
cents per capita per day, the amount we
are receiving for labor within the
prison, making a total of $125,000 as
stated above. A careful perusal of the
above and a little thought on the part
of any one disposed to cavil at the management
of the prison for the last ten
Tears, it seems to me, should silence
all complaint, particularly when it is
remembered that the prison has been
supported during eight years of the
time without a dollars appropriation
for the maintenance or improvement
of any kind from the State Treasury,
except the loan deducted above.
Tlxis statement was furnished by me
to Captain G. W. Shell., and he promised
me that he would call Captain Tillman's
attention to it. This was previous
to the Sumter meeting, and I
have no doubt that Captain Shell did
what he promised me to do, as he stated
tlinf-. if. w,is! wrftiio" -fnv
a
Captain Tillman to make such charges.
Besides this, General Earle, in his
speech at Camden, read this statement
in vindication of the penitentiary
management, and left 110 excuse for
Captain Tillman to reiterate his charges
as he did at Sumter.
The penitentiary, while it has been
unrW niv nersonal management since
1879, lias had over it and me a board of
directors, which lias been changed
eleven times since I took charge. These
boards have been composed of such
men as George A. Shields, Richland
County; A P. Butler, Aiken County;
AV. K. Bradley, Abbeville County, sines
dead: E. S. Allen, Spartanburg County.;
J. C. Seegers, Richland County; D.F.
Bradlev, Pickens County; C. S. McCall,

C. \Y. McFadden, Chester County; i
| A. A. Sarratt. Union County; T. O.
Sanders, Sumter County; Amos Davis,
Fairfield County; Thomas Anderson,
Fairfiield County. And I am satisfied
that there is 110 honest man in this State
who will believe Captain Tillman's un- '
supported eliarge of "rascality" against
such men as these. It was their duty .
to revise and examine these reports
before they were printed, and inform
themselves as to their correctness, and
they invariably did so to their entire
satisfaction.
Iu addition to the statement for the
year 1888, the report for the year 188'J
shows that the penitentiary had a
balance on hand over and above the expenses
for that year, in caslf and available
assets, $30,S80.o0, which the Board
of Directors were authorized to retain j
for the support of the prison and the
purchase of a farm.
I have in my possession a letter from '
Captain G. "VV. Shell, in which he states
that the charges in the proclamation of
i
________
the Faraijers'Association "were not intended
:ts an assault upon me or my
personal, management.'7 and I had
hoped i hat Captain Tillman would
have re framed from making such uuwarran
led charge* about the penitentiary.
Some of hi.- anient supporters I
have been and arc my warm personal J
friendjs and advocates, and I am j
satisfi ed do not endorse Captain Till-1
man's slanders, for they know them to
be faJse. And 1 do not hesitate to call
upon, the honest thinking men of both
factions to repudiate any such slan- j
cierocBs statements.
Ijci conclusion, I would say that if
Captain Tillman intends to impute to
me personally any "rascality" in my
management of this institution, I will
be constrained to denounce him as a
mischievous demagogue and an unscrupulous
liar. T. J. Lipscomb,
