Tili.man wants to pav the United States tax on whi>kev in bonded warehouses and seize the whiskey on a charge of violation of the dispeusv.-v law. The riiiht to do so is presented to the Attorney General of the United State? for his opinion. Tillman is gettinggre( dy, sure enough. The Conservative Press Must Xot JEx press its Opinion or? A> to the constitution of that convention when held, let us hope that it will consist of upright, unselfish, patriotic Carolinians. It is not an unmixed evil that Colonel Gantt is opposed to the holding of it; he may not be able to right about face in time to get into if, but if Ellerbe and Tindal and Geo. Tillman and George Evans and D. F. Bradley and YV. D. Evens are mem~bers, i feel sure that the people of the State need not fesr that any injury will be done them. I have 110 doabt that there are mauy othev men, both Con-" serservatives and Reformers, whose /' patriotism is <is high and whose influence f?r good would be as marked as those itai?;;d abjve, bat if the Conservative press eoiitiirnes to oppose the hoUiin<f i>t the convention as hotly as i< now doe.-, there will be littie change Of any Co:?-erva:ive participating in its deliberations. ?a Carolina" in Columbia Iicjlstcr. j?o :i a man is ol a difforeut opinion from t!:e "domineering" element he tnnsl b-; denied the rights of a citiz' n m. en The Constitutional Convention. X Although a large portion of the ? white voters in the State do-net feel a great deal of interest in the candidacy [ of Dr. Pope or John Gary Evans in the election next month, mere is one very important matter to bs determined by that election which should bring every good citizen to the polls, and it is his duty to cast a ba'lot on it. That is the question whether or not a constitutional convention should be held. A constitution is not made in a diy. It cannot be constructed properly by the convention, especially in the present state of the public mind. ? The constitution of a people is a growth, and for this reason among many others we think that the wisest mode of obtaining a written constitution adaptable to the needs of our people is by amendments from time to y-" time. Certainly parfis of the present constitution are just as good as we can ever hope to have, and if any part of it needs changing why not submit such change? to the people, and let them vote on it? If the homestead law should be abolished, let it be submitted; and so with any other changes. Cut the secret of the whole business is, that the State is now controlled by ^ a ring, and this ring is trying to change the constitution so that it will ever afterwards be in power. Chairman Irby talks about its being a "Reform measure", but he never once dares to tell the people what he wants in ihe new constitution.. He has never told ?.? them what reform he proposes to make in the document. It is time for the white people to thl-. k, and think seriously. The educational and property qualification for voting may appear very attractive to some when the argument is made that * it will practically disfranchise the negro. It will no doubt prevent a great many of them from voting, but it will likewise debar a great many of our most worthy white citizens from this high privilege of citizenship. Many poor white men of this State, who cinnot read and write, joined their more fortunate white fellowcitizens and helped to redeem tin State from corruption and misrule, and it would be an injustice to take away their right to vote, whitliout even allowing them a chance to protest against it. Yet this is called "Reform", the cardinal principle of which is "selfgovernment"! Oh, what outrages are committed in the name of "Reform"! Wlut has come over the spirit of such champions of the poor, down-trodden, "common people" like Governor Tillman, Senator Irby and John Gary Evans that they want to steal away the ballot from thc;c "common people", "the one-gallus and wool hat boys"! Yes, it will take away the right to vote from a vast majority of the ( negroes, but the negro has made connvAtrrflJ! flio wiv in/1 I , it will be found that thousands of Kl them will be entitled to voto. What a Hh humiliation it will be to the "onegallus and wool hat" boy to be put on a level with the ignorant negro. That's what .is coming, and ;'the one-gallns B and wool bat boy'' will soon find out ? who are his real friends when the test shall have been made. I ON THE IMMIGRATION SUBJ EOT. 1 u 1_ \ Mr. Geo. If. Mc if aster, Winnsboro, S C.: c Q Dear Sir? Am sorry to hear that you have not been ab!e to get up a large j enough meeting to organize an auxn- <lary society in your county. Your | people cannot base the right view of ^ the movement or they would surely t take a greater interest in it. It is the ( only hope we have or can have to bring into our section a class of immigrants { or I should say settlers with money, j We may in the future have a chance e to get a low. class of foreign labor, but we will never have a chance again | during our life time to get any number j of good, practical farmers?men of means and men who have the knowledge and experience to assist us in 1 making our section of the country j what it should be, the finest section of the United States. These people that we will get are not rich men, but are men who are worth from $1,000 to $5,000 and have what we need even more than money, experience in diversified farming? < * * ? ?"U^-v ?***!] nc? fA fol'D ? tney arc men wuu wm icovu no ?.v muv care of small things and not to depend on o cents cotton, or spend our money before we make it. A few of them scattered in every settlement in our counties will in a very bhort time make such a change for the" better that -our own people will be surprised at themselves for thinking and feeling that cotton is the only thing to plant in South Carolina?and that the first thing a farmer must do in the spring is to arrange with some merchant to carry him till crop time. I am not a prophet, but I think I can safely predict that two years after one company gets to work, a lien in our section will be a curiosity almost. And if you will oulv think the matter over you will agree with me. There is no doubt but that we have as good soil and climate as there is in the United States; we cau grow every- ' thing excepting tropical fruits?we 1 have as good railroad facilities as any I other section, as near to market as we j could wish?that being the case what , do we lack; only one thing, a change ill our system of farming, and to get * that change we mast get amongst us ' some good, practical men?men who J know how to farm aud make money. < Men who have not only the experience ] but have the money "to show us by | example what to do. Now we can get < the very men we need, for the class we propose to bring here are good, practi- i cal farmers?men who can pay their 3 own way?who will buy a farm aud ] go to work at once, men who will i show us hew to make money at.'farm- i ing, because if they can make it we can certainly by foilowiug their example do the same and you kno w that our i people have the intelligence and all < they need is some one to show them i what to do. 1 Now we cau get this at a very slight j expense, all that it wiil cost your < county is an investment of $500 not a < gift of thai and because the stock will pay good dividends yon can easiiy < make the calculation Supple we i sell the iirst year 10.000 acres of land | of-nn nvnrao-p nf SLO ner ac e?it is I ( $100.000; 10 per cent comm ssiou on I < that amount is $10,000->ay our ex- pense for the year is $5,000, it will j leave us a profit of 85,000 or 100 per j -cent which ihe stock-holders will get < in div deni.?. I But out side of that every man who s has one hundred acres of land to sell will willingly give $5 to have it advertised and sold, "will he not! Well can he find a better and cheaper way -he lives in town or country but what will be tenefiitted by immigration. Your churches and schools will be easier supported because you will have' ( more people to con tin but'', your taxes j will be less, for the same leasons and < I can give you hundreds of ways by | which people will be benifittcd, and I would defy anyone to give a single ' intelligent reason to >h<\v that they ) will not. i T hq* haw Mirpf> awnlieations?one < from a representative of tub.icco farmers?who wish to change their locations, two others from thein wt.o wish ' to engage in business?all of them have ] money. I look for jnst such applica- s tions daily now as the news is spread- , ing all over the couutry. I have written you a longer letter than I intended but I am aHxious to 1 have your county in our company. As I told you before, your county was only taken in (as it is really out of the Piedmont section of the State) and the * urgent request of one of the Com- i mittee, and I would not like to see it left out for that and then for another reason Laurens and Abbeville both have asked to be allowed to come in ' and have been refused as we only in- 1 tended to have ten counties. j I hope that you will start it again and trust that in a few days I will get a much more satisfactory letter from you.

KiDoEavav, October 16.?Since our ; lasr, we have had the pleasure or' at- ' tending the annual meeting of the Fairfield Association, which convened i Friday, Ootobsr 12, with the First ! Baptist Church, Columbia. At the appointed hour the body was , called to order by the fcrraer moderu- I tor, Dr. B. J. Quattlcbaum, of your '< city. Alter the roll of churches was 1 called and the delegates enrolled, the , body was organized by ( he re-election j of Dr. Quatllebaum moderator, Dr. Joo. Boyd clerk, and the election of j W. 11 Ufibb Treasurer. This a-s >cia- } tion is toniposed of churches located j in Ker.-havv, Richland and Fairfield ] counties. There was quite a goodly |. number ol delega-.es present, and the bnsine*sof the body tranactcd rapidly and harmoniously in the time allotted for the purpose. Utv. II. K. Ezell. of Blythcwood, having been appointed by the last association to deliver the introductory serin n at this meeting, preached quite au iustruc ive and interf sting sermon to quite a large congregation' on Fri dav night.

Mr. Editor: Looks as though the ( :laitn that a qualified right of suffrage ] n this State would only affect the '< legroes should be set aside by the fol- 5 fn/vm n K r\f (Zf\XT Til ImQll vWIIIj; 1L l/Ill Ck op&guu V/i. VIVI . JU AtiLU^.i 7 1 :he recoguized leader of tb? farmers' novement. I call attention to the fact 1 :hat in this part of his speech the Gov- * irnor says "we", in reference to the ( opinion advanced. This makes it ippcar that he had advised and con- < salted with his associates, and there- ' fore gives the weight of mature delib jration to his expressed opinions. i Guv. Tillman said: "The whites < iave absolute control of the Slate gov- 1 ? , jrnment, and we intend at any and all . hazards to retain it. The intelligent . jxercise of the right of suffrage, at >nce the highest privilege and most 1 ncred duty of the citizen i?, as yet, ; beyond the capacity of the vast ma- ( ority of colored rnen. We deny, < without regard to color, that all men 1 ire created equal. It is not true now, jvas not true when Jefierson wrote it. But we cannot deny,and it is our duty as the governing power in South Carolina to ensure t? every individual, 3la':k and white, the right to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness." This looks "plain. He is discussing j :he question of sullrage, ana savs tne najority of negroes are as yet incapa- j ale of intelligently exercising the right, *nd in the same breath denies that the whites are created equal. ( George VV. Murray is oue negro ; whose right to suffrage Gov. Tillman won't contest. Murrav and Tillman . ilimb the plum bush ai.d feast together, . svhile the white farmers of the State, who Tillman had in line to lead to the promised land, are straggling with the lirest proverty that ever I felt in this jountr.. I just believe that we farmers will starve if we don't quit waiting around for Tillman to skin ihat financial rabbit. Tillman and the rabbit will be >ut of sight, and we will be left to bark , jver the empty track. I ain in for , white man rule, based on honesty and ; intelligence leading. 1 oppose the call ing of a constitutional convention in ] Ills State for the one reason: that 1 fear the partisan, prejudiced, hateful < spirit that exists ainon<? ourselves. . E. G. Palmer. ; ... ( i Plillrlren Trv fnr PItrfior'c f!flctnr!a : VIIIIWl VII VIJ IVI IkVIIVI W V?y?VHI THE NEGRO IN THE WOOD-PILE. Mr. Editor: My attention lias been \ jailed to an article in the Columbia ? Register signed "Fairfield". I feel i.o < joncern as to contents of ihe article, < l>ut a; I have been personally ap- ] proacbed a? a candidate on the strict ! Democratic platform, utterly opposed i o Ocalaism, and asked for an expies- : ?i'?n. I will make it public: First. As to the negro voters eniorsing the ticket of which I am a representative. It was news to me, and I have no more to do with it than ! the Reform movement had in 1890, : whtn hundreds of negroes voted the ticket. Second. I think it pretty cheeky for i in individual to write an abusive arti- : jle and then conceal his identity by ; dguiiig the whole county to it. He - t ? - L.j * i.? L_ J ' must nave me Dig neau pretty uau. Third. I su^gef-t that "the author lome out over his signature with the names of the "irresponsible individuals", is he terms them, who attend nogro meetings in the dear! hours of night, with offers of trial justiceships. His ijuarrel is with ihem. I will state for the benefit of the public who may be inierested in my position, that uever j have I tried to induce a negro to vote j mv war. Truly circumstances alier cases. Did Gov. Tillman or "Fairfield" abase the negroes who voted with them in 189?, or revile the many staunch Reformers who solicited their votes? I think not. Tillman's very heart seemed to swell with gratitude. For awhi'e he even resolved to stop lynch mg. Among other things the Gorcrnor said: "Many who voted cast their ballots fur the regular Deinecratie ticket, and the consequence is that, to-day there is less race pacjudice and race feeling between white men and black men of South Carolina than has existed since 1S63." Again he said: "Ilis conduct in the recent political campaign shows that tie has begun to think for himself and realize that his best friends and safest advisers are the white men who own the land and give him employment. When it is clearly shown that a majority of our colored voters are no longer Imbued with Republican ideas, then ;he vexed negro problem will be ' solved and the nightmare of return to negro domination will haunt ns no 1 more." Here the Governor actually advises .he negroes to quit the Republican *anks and sro with white men who )wn land and give them emplyment. [Je seemed entirely to forget the white nan who owned 110 land and is obliged 0 compete with cntfee on the bare nuscle. s I was at tho time struck with the 3 nconsist'jncv of his position, after * ettinsr oat as the special champion of t he Anglo-Saxon who had nothing left \ >ut the grit and pride of our race. t E.

The majority of people die sooner than they should. Evidence of this fact is growing daily. Waring says: " Disease is r.o; a consequence of life; it is due to unnatuml conditions of living?neglect, abuse, wart.' Dr. Stephen Smith, on the same subject, 11 Man is born to health and long life; disease is unnatural, death, except from old age, is accidental, and both_are preventable ( by human agencies." This is almost invari- ! ably true of death resulting from heait dis- ! ease. Careless over-exertion, intemperate use of tea, coffee, tobacco, alcoholic or other ( stimulants are generally the causes of this difficulty, and indifference to its progress re- ! suits in sudden death, or long sickness end- 1 ing in death. By the newspapers it can be < seen that many prominent and hundreds ol persons in'private life'die frcm heart disease every day. 1 If you have any of the . following s-vmp- < fnme- cTinr fn&cc nf 'Tinlnitntirvn irn-o ular pulse, faintiDg and smothering spells, pain in shoulder, side, or arm, swollen J ankles, etc., begin treatment immediately for ] heart disease.'
