Editors: In reporting the )roceediugiS of the the two committees tppointed to confer in the interest of >eace and harmony in the Democratic anks, you omit or witliold in my hum jle opinion the most important pans >f the deliberations, viz: Three disinct propositions from the Tillman =ide all of which were rejected. 1st. To told a primary and elect a chairman >y popular vote. 2nd. To go back to the >riginal clubs as they were previous to he split and elect delegates to a County Convention, the majority of whom shall elect a chairman as they should lave done in the beginning. 3rd. [icing fully convinced wc are in lie majority, a proposition to give you n-f civ- wrliilr? n-p ft b W1U11UHVV VJ. C4-k If ?? w w.www M lommittee of sevcw and let these 10 lecide the matter. This latter proposition was received with evident tmusement, and yet I will proceed to >how that it was decidedly fairer than -he one proposed by the Antis. To llustrate, two gamblers agree to win )r loose an hundred dollars. After A lad won all the money B very genernisly and magnanimously offered to lraw straws to see who should keep it. Such is the position of the Antis. When they have lost everything, are indoubtedly in the minority; and are ibout to be left out in the cold, they :ij': Uoys, Jets draw straws 10 see s\iio shall be chairman. Note tins fact: They deny there is a Tillman majority in the county, as it appears, syniply for the sake of argument for tiicy are unwilling to let the popular rote decide it. 1 stated that I was willing personally :o give thein three of the five delegates it each convention. This puts the Liiatte? in its-tr?e light, and'e'vidences', an earnest desire to give them even more than they were justly entitled to. 0?>r. n-f tli/i rlir? VPnort f lint. V1IV/ VI HIV VVlMIIHtWV V..V.V the Antis agreed to postpone the primary called for the 9th ultnio., and no* doubt so understood it. He was corrected at the time by myself explaining it was only talked of, and thought feasible. After our report a motion was made to refer the matter to the County Executive Committee but if it gave them authority to act I am very much mistaken. The records will show. Respectfully. .s. c. One of the Tillman Committee of Five. [Our correspondent is mistaken in supposing that we a'tempud aieport of the proceedings of the two committees. We merely reported the propo Bit ion oi uie conference, mere were several propositions disenssed by the committees, but the one submitted to the Convention was the oj. 1 y one adopted by a inaj >1 ity of the conference. This proposition did not come exclusively from the Anti?, but was the result of a general discussion of a proposition from one of the Tillman committee. Tne primary plan of our c ^respondent diu not seem to have the support of the entire Tillman committee and was not voted upon at all.? Kd.] Scrofula all His Life. I consider my cure by S. S. S. one of the most wonderful on record. I had the worst type of Srofula from my infancy until 1 was 22 years of age. My whole voting life was embittered and made miserable by the loathsome disease. I not only suffered from the Scrofula, but was so marked that I was ashamed to associate with, and was avoided by. my playmates and fellow workmen. I t ried every known patent medicine, and was lirst and last attended by more than a dozen reputable physicians, but in spite of all. the disease continued to grow worse. About four years ago a friend xrom rutsburg aaviseu me to iukc j S. S. S., which I did, and after taking j seven bottles I was cured sound and j well. The old skin peeled off aud was I replaced by a new skin, as smooth and free from blemish as any person. 1 have had no return or symptom of the disease. Henry V. Smith, Belmont, "YY. Va.

Among' the new enterprises we note a .-<100,000 Ilotcl. a $100,000 Fire Insurance Company, an Independent, Silver Cornet Band, a Gala "Week and a news bureau, while the Snartan Mills and Beaumont Mills arc by 110 means old. The Gala week, which begins on 24th inst., promises to be a grand success, and is under the auspices of the Spartanburg Ileal Estate Company. Pigeon glass hall and rock shooting, checker content and lawn tennis, tounament will be among the attractions during the day. Banquet on 24th, Grand ball 2.3tli and German 2Gth will amuse the spectators at night. The ccmps-iiy is. composed ofolUvvvr best business men, and they propose to spare neither money nor pains to make the occasion a successful one. As a consequence of tliis movement, gentlemen from other cities have been here arranging f;;r purchases before the sale, and some very valuable land has, and continues, to change hands. Converse College, one of the most beautiful buildings in the Southern States, will soon open, and doubts arc entertained as to whether it will accommodate its numerous patronage.

(Tri- Wet:I'll/ JVgin.i and lL'.r-ihl, /.) j To lit#' K'litoi* of Tin: X' ic.s mi'l Herald: I In your issue of the 271h I uoiicc that I have bicn taken to (ask by Sir. E. 1>. Itagsdale, who, judging from the sour tone of his communication, has taken an overdose of anti-Tilimanism and is now Irving to disgorge by swallowing a still larger dose of anti-Ailiance in the way of an attack upon ralOert ai.cl the snu-i reasnry. ui!?! j remarks only prove what I said at j Wiuiisboro and elsewhere, that the i farmers oi' our country have been accustomed to taking back seats while the statesmanship of the country has been mostly conducted by lawyers; so far has this been the case that they have come to feel that they arc entitled to it by riglu of inheritance or primogeniture, and as a general rule a firmer j ~wn6 the nerve, and I might add! the audacity and iffrper&JLcnce, to take j Hip fctnmn and inveiirh ayain^vjjie established order of llfngs, has bcent~ hounded down as a demagogue and demoralizer, called an idiot, a crank and an ignoramus. Mr. llagsdale is J playing this role with ine, but I have heard of a plucky little animal once who put himself on the track to butt oft' the engine, and I want to say to him (Mr. liagsdalo) that I represent a powerful organization called (he Alliance, and when he undertakes to throw himself before that procession he will; probably find himself jsst where the i other little auimal did. This man says of me: "I listened j for two hours or more to the gentle- j man with varied emotions sometimes j indiguant, c'c." No doubt his cino-1 lions were varied when listening to a ! plain, unsophisticated farmer, who, j tkontrh not so learned as Mr. Iiairsdaie, j yet had the manhood to speak what he ! believed to be the truth even in the j august presence of banisters like him- i self and other grandees. Neither am I I surprised that the gentleman became ' at times indignant when ["recollect1 that the devil always becomes so when listening to the tiuth and scriptural j doctrine, lie further says: "lie con-' tradictcd himself upon many essential1 propositions, appealed to the prc-ju-j dices ot his hearers, falsified history ; and maligned the dead." These are j ??iaiiillUU3 Iiwno Vf Ktivui ~ SV4? , tiller of proof. He pretends to say I j contradicted myself by saying {lie j "government contracted the currency, j etc., and then in the next breath saving i national banks did it." Now I have! not space here to discuss these issue.-, j but I said in substance. that Congress ; having the right to control tlie cur. j rency'and i>sue a circulating medium. j stamp its value, etc., but that Con-1 gress had delegated that right iudi- J rectly to the national bankers, and thev | had gone on in this contrasting and j ,'v.iMn ;,t nloasnre Ml a! i v-v l?anu .

As to the go vern ment. lo:inii>g money j on whiskey, I do say so, Mr. Jtagsdalc | to the contrary notwithstanding, the i collection of revenue is deferred for! three years amounting to millions, and ; certificates arc issued on the deposit, ! which certifica'cs arc good coila'eral in ! any national bank for cash, and that cash is government money on deposit ; with national banks even wMimt interest. If that is not loaning money I would like for this disciple of Blackstone to say what? As to Mr. I?agsdale?s insinuations j about "aspirins- demagogues ricing i into office on the Alliance," etc., I will i say that men may say v\ hat they please i of me. Low, grovelling souls, who, I forever kcepirg their own selfish aims 111 view, decide all public measures by ?heir presumed influence 011 their own aggrandisement, will, I suppose, jadge me by the venal and corrupt, which they ought to prescribe to themselves, i In answer to his challenge to di<-cn?s fie sub-treasury, I will siy that nature is taken up to lhe t'*me of the September Convention am! a good while afterward* with appointments so tint i will not te able (o meet him at Winiisboro before that time, Kut lie ! can s-e my appointments in the papers, j and it he wishes Jje will be welcomed to j m < t me ai any of them he may choose ; wish all 1 i* cohorts and I will give all j the 'ime he wants.
