I could produce fifty o sixty of iny own knowledge. j INSTKlXTF.lt TO VOTE FOB MOOUMAN. I I know that three or four hundred wouli ) have voted for Moorman, it they had no tteen rejected: because they were Instructei j to do so. There are more Republican voter ! in this township than there are Democratic .Between nine hundred and twelve hundrei voters in the township. Then several bun dred of men whose names I did not get 01 election. I was notified to iustruct the Board of Man agers that I would contest Mr. I.atlinet'8 elec tion on account of imperfeotiou of the ticket of Latimer. That W is six days after the elec lion, county uoara wan u. ti. .woore. i no tifled them, the County Board. six days afte the election, as required by law. THE REASON REPUBLICANS IHD'T VOTE. The Republican voters did not get to vot last, year, because tbey wore rej-jcl-ecl at th< office of Supervisor of Registration. Tbej had objections to the colored men, and wou>? not register tuem at all. White men had < trouble at.all in getting registration tickets Republicans were rejected Id every shape form nnd fashion. I knewot three men who lived in anotlie township who tried to vote here. The Stale boxes wete In the same bulldlni ?same room. Twenty teet apart. No parti t ?on between them. The same way togoinu both boxes, as there was to go out. Manager did not seem to Hike any interest in sliowlD| the Federal from the state boxes. ONE OK THE Ol.nEST V'OTEltS SHOWN HOW Ti VOTE. I was not here at the counting of the votes but I (lid couie up here to show one of the old est voters in the town how to vote. Some o he State officers asked me what in tne hel riuhi I hail lo show a man how to vote. I was almost impossible for a m m to kuov where to vote for Robert Moorman. I opposed Robert Moorman in the nominal ing Convention for a longtime. 1 was votlui and working lor Moorman's adversary, voled to nominate hltn. Mr, Moorman wai nominated and I have h?en supporting hitr all the time. Three or Tour of us were at tin same time tor Pope, and then tor Moorman There was no intimidation. COt"LiTIN'T 'I t:I,I.

Mr. J.l> Carwilo was Su pervisorof Registration last year. I did no see any colored men vote tor Mr. Latimer or that (lay. Mr. Latimer's ticket did uot mi3 what No. of (Jongres* he was a candidate for hut I thought it must have hern fllth. I saw Republican voters rejected who had reidtstra tion tickets. The managers claimed thai they did not have registration tickets. Non< were rejected who lived in the precinct. ]ilt? Not expkct them to vote. I did not cxpeet those who had no registra tion tickets to vote. Three or four hundrei wanted to vote and were rejected at the Su per visor of Registration's ollice. I do noi know exactly how many I saw the Supervi sorof Registration reject. The men Intended to vote in I lie Ki'deial box, but. could not. i did not wee any Republican votes rejected al the ballot box. because they had no registra' tion tickets they did not come up stairs tc vote. About out* hundred sinned their iiameF I to the list which J exhibited] the rest I wrote myself, but they told me themselves to do ho The km me way with my brother. I saw nc reason why Republican voters could not vot( here, exeept 111*-fact lhat they had no regis (ration tickets. The Congressional box man' steers were Messrs. Hughes, Allen and .Moore liut I am not certain. I din work for Mr Tolbert. in the Nominating Convention be en use I was from tils county, and not because I had an* personal feelings against Mr. Moorman.

Such a man is Judge Kimsey who is holding court in UaitieMville at this time.

He Joined the Bible class and reri'ed the lesson, after which be made an interesting address to the snnday school.

Hon.C L.BIease represented Mr. Latimer. It was not our funeral and we were not present, therefore can give no report of the proceedings.

Our State constable displays great intrepidity when opening boxes of merchandise belonging loa merchant who isabove suspicion. But.

Then he will have his posse or wake np every citizen on the square, but then conscience makes cowards ot us all. J. K. Durst bought a vacant one acre lot in town at auction on Saleday for *2,000. We will watch with interest the attitude of the administration toward the blind tiger after he begins to bny Itis supply from tbedlspensary. If the fact that the champions of the dispensary here?those who worked for it so assiduously in the interest of law and order as they claimed?afterward refused point blank to sign the petition to council pledging their support in upholding the law by putting down the illicit sale of whiskey, Is indicative of his excellency's position it will be one of luconslstennv anct stolid indifference.

Mr. O'Neill, in the last issue of the Press and Banner. To be held iu such high esteem by one's closest neighbor is the highest recommendation loan honorable citizenship. During a business and social intercourse covering a period of several years we always found Col. Law honorable, upright and pleasant. Few meu possess a greater fund of information, and for the power of imparting It fluently, intelligently and entertainingly he is the peer r>f any; a polished gentleman and rare conversationalist of whom you never tire. His plsce in this community will not be easily tilled, and while we all regret his departure we hope he will prosper as he deserves in Barnwell whither he has gone. Messrs. Harrison & Wells will soon have their custom grist ml'l In operation. The liquor traffic may bo said to be onr hobt>y this week, but the occasion seems to demand it.
