We hear a good deal from Governor Tillman, his stall, his organs and his adn irers, to < the effect that tin has reduced taxation. He i has not done so. He has slightly reduced the rate ot taxation but has so increased the as- i sessrnents ttiat the Statu taxes amount to more uow than they have done for many } years. The following table, giving the assessed val- I lie of all property in South Carolina, the levy | in mills.and the yield in taxes will prove 1 Ibis.

The above shows that the taxes levied by the Tillman Administration have been larger than those of any previous year during the rule of the Democratic party since 1S70, except 1SS4-85, when an extra levy was made to pay accumulated interest on the public debt. Let us make another comparison. The totals of taxes.

The holiness meeting which has been ?roiufi on for the fast ten days continues, ami great good is being <lone, He vs. Brabham and Kinard are earnest, zealous Christian men, and are doing u irrcal. work in the Cow Grove comniuniiy. Crowds go every day and night from Ninety-Six. Lien Williams, colored,died at (he plantation ol Mr. W. II. Kiu/.ler, on the 2Cth with hydrophobia. lie was bitten by u mad dog several weeks ago. Some of our friends on the opposite side are ?! !?winu iti? lines in tho prima ry election for I lie select ion of coiiuty officers. This would be an unfortunate mistake. We should select the best men lor these oillc.es resjardless of their political opinions, so long as they are Democrats. We intend to vote for the best men. and if weak men come out and expect the support of theantis they will be mistaken. They know the driftwood as well us Gov. Tillman. Miss Ida Lee Hunter, a fascinating young lady froin Hradley, has been visiting Mrs. (jeorge M. Anderson. Dr. Henry Arlhur, who has traveled Kdgetleld extensively, says sheppard andOrrare training giound rapidly in thai county, and that we can safely plaec the county in the Conservat i ve coin inn. Mr W. T. Head, now the oldest member of Eureka Lodge, No. 47 A. K. M. is quite sick at his residence in Edgefield, ills many friends at Ninety-Six and throughout the two counties hope how soon he may recover. Don't forget. the crop of turnips. We notice in your last issue that Dr. T. S. Make, of our township, lias been suggested as a proper person to run for the Legislature. To his neighbors and acquaintances it is useless to say one word. To those who do not know him we say that Dr. Blake is a proper man to represent us. If ho will consent to run we don't believe lie will lose a single vote at his home box He is a pure, clean man, and Abbeville county would honor herself by sending him to the Legislature. Maj. J. A.Stuart, the watermelon king of our township, continues to supply our market with fine, nice, delicious, melons. Mr. J. L. Hughey and Mr. S. W. Tharp. two substantial citizens of the Greenwood vicinity. were down last Friday on business. Mr. \V. 11. Anderson was made a Knight of Pythias at the last convention of Cambridge lodge. Miss Mattle Hugbey, who has taught the Pertville school so acceptably for the past six months, has closed for the summer. Miss Mary Holland, who has been teaching in Laurens, has closed her school und is at home for the summer. The tent meeting was not closed on .Sunday night as was expected. This meeting doubtless sunn lies a irreat want in the community where it was held,?not that the peopieof that zommnnity are any worse than of other communities, but many came out to preaching who never attend church, hence the great good it did. Mr. Edward c. Rice, of Charleston, has been up for a few days visiting his father's family. Kd. Is one of our especial favorites, and his Irlends here are delighted that his future prospects are promising. He lias a nice position with J. H. E. Sloan ?& Son. A great many persons from Laurens attendBd the tent meeting in Cow Grove. Among ihem we noticed l)r. Watts, Mr. John Turner, the Misses Hill and many others. Many of our citizens almost daily visit tlie sulphur wells on Dr. \V. A. Sanders plantation. The water is fine and stronger and cooler than the water at mr. .y of the fashionable resorts. We think if some syndicate would lake hold of these wells and develop them It would pay handsomely. Dr. Sanders should liave the water analyzed and let the people <ee what it is. The speaking at Ninety-Six next Friday will be orderly. Col. Lipscomb, president of lhe club, will see that everybody has an opportunity to speak and howling down will not be tolerated. i?r. Make requests us to say that he will not tie a candidate for the Legislature. His business is such that he cannot neglect it. The Misses I'itts, of Laurens, attended preaching at the tent meeting on last Sunday. Miss Mamie I'itts is assistant teacberofthe school at Cross Hill, and is held in high esteem by his patrons. Prol. James II. Rice, son of Col. J. II. Rice, of this place, has been elected superintendent i)i t lie Chester Graded School. This is a compliment to Mr. Rice, and Ills friends here think a well deserved one. Our Ninety-Six young men arc making their mark wherever they go. The four"? MaJ. Fouche. Capt. McCasIan, Col. Klnard and private Still?went up to the Tillmnnlte m etlug to-day. It took two passenger coaches to transport them. Misses I.ou an<l Archie Bozeman will visit NValhalla and other points iu the skylund this week. Uncle Billie Munday will give an old time barbecue on next Friday. His burgoo is famous. The rain of last night was most opportune. Our crops of late corn and cotton were ready to receive It. Mrs. A. S. Osborne is ofT on a visit to friends at Prosperity. Mr. Thomas Baughtnan has taken the contract to build a dwelling house on North Cambridge street lor Mr. J. II. P.Griflin. Johnnie Is geltinc u 'Head" of the other boys The young ladies and yentlemen of Ninetysix ami vicinity coutemplaled having a "moonlight" picnic at the old Star Fort tonight, but on account of the meeting it has been postponed. Mr. James T. Bozeman, of Cross Hill, was over at the tent meeting on Sunday night, and from appearances enjoyed himself very much. While his meeting was not altogether of a religious character, there seemed to be a good deal of seriousness about it. James admires the "Daisy," no sun flowers or pansies for him. A meeting will be commenced in the Presbyterian church at this place on next Thursday, the 4th, und continue till over Sunday. Fast Knd. COMPARE THE TWO. Ocnln Platform and Alliauco Demands. OCA I.
