SOWD ADVICE.
Jud^L. Charlton, one of Edge
field*?eit thinkers and soundest
rea?paers, says that the best thing
thfj ??ntis can do at this juncture
j4.-to withdraw their ticket and
ave the field open for the people's
governor, Ben Tillman. Of course
' it is better for Tillman ;thatthey
should not, that the lines of de
marcation between the ringsters
-and the people should be more
deeply grooved than before, so that
they cannot be obliterated in the
campaign of 1894. Capt. Charlton
has the utmost respect for Gov.
Sheppard, but believes him to
have been misinformed and mis
advised by his friends.
There are only two ways for the
minority to whip the majority in
a political fight. One is to have
a strong issue, strong leaders and
speakers and heavy artillery in the
way of a support from the press,
and to force the fighting all along
the line in season and out of sea
son. The greatest of all these
helps in the -fight is a strong issue,,
and this the majority has not.
They have fairly good speakers,
and a heavy press support, but,
lacking an issue, they cannot and
dare not force the fighting.
The other way for a minority
to win against a big majority is to
let the'majority alone ; it will of
its own distractions go to pieces
then go for it and tear up the>
pieees. Calhoun said that the
emoluments of office are in them
selves BuflBcient to establish two
parties m any government. So it
is with a big majority ; .the desire
for the loaves and fishes of office
-are sufficient to bread up this ma
jority into segments. To have
waited for thiB denouement would
have been wise generalship on the
part of the opposition to Tillman
in South. Carolina.
Their present programme and
schedule is entirely hopeless.
FLEW UP THE CREEK.
Some two or three weeks ago
Mr. E. Norton, of Conway, Horry
County, S. C., editor of the Horry
Herald, addressed us the follow
ing^ letter :
"I wish you to give me the
imputation of. Hon^gJUb. Sheppard
... l as)to moral. c?^wfi*?.,, Dpes. ie,
...-^c^^g^age?^-And aloj^ortiyr'
information regarding his moral
character will " be thankfully re
ceived. I shall use what you say
about him and want only the un
varnished truth."
.We didn't reply to this letter,
beoauso he wanted the truth un
varnished, and we have always
made it a rule viever to send a
certificate of character out of this
office wifnnut putting a little
varnish on it.
At the same time.it appears that
be addressed a letter to the Edge
field Chronicle to the same pur
port. That paper, joyous and
jocund, flew up the creek as fol- j
lows : (
EDGEFIELD, S. C., April 25, '92. (
MR. E. NORTON,
My Dear Sir:-I have known .
John C. Sheppard well and con- 1
tinuously from his cradle. He s
does not drink habitually. He t
was never drunk in his life. He is 1
singularly free from swearing or \
any sort of profanity. Even in
his boyhood and early manhood
he was singularly free from any
thing bordering on licentiousness. ?
His home life with his lovely wife
and six little children is worthy ?
of all admiration. He is a good
man. Help him I In helping him,
you help South Carolina. e
Very Truly Yours, 0:

Now Mrr Norton has a certificate y
of character for Gov. Sheppard
from George Washington, why|J
should he wish one from Thomas
Jefferson?
COMPARISON OF EXPENDI- L
TUBES.
ai
A correspondent of the Newberry tl
Observer makes the following com- th
parison of expenditures between G<
Gov. Tillman and Gov. Richard- Gi
son : in
As a good deal* has been said ca
about the expenses of the Richard- la
son and Tillman governments, I bu
herewith give you a few figurosas ho
to those funds directly controlled ?a
by the Governor. an
In 1890 Gov.- Richardson had a
contingent fund for rewards and
other purposes of $5,000.00. He Ec
spent $4,951.76 leaving $48.24 in Ja
treasury. ka
In 1891 Gov. Tillman had a con- vil
tingent fund of $5,000.00 for the ?*
same puiposes. He spent $3,382.18
leaving $1,617.82 in the treasury. thf
In 1890 Gov. Richardson had a No
civil contingent fund of $1,000.00, Thi
of which ie spent $704.79.
In 1891 Gov. Tillman had a
civil contingent fund of $1,000.00, Ani
of which he spent nothing. -We
In 1890 Gov. Richardson had
$750.00 for repairs of Executive
Tba
Mansion, etc., and spent $518.27.
In 1891 Gov. Tillman had for
the same - purpose $500.00 and
spent $500.00.
This shows the snm of $2,262.641
in favpr of Governor- Tillman as j
against Gov. Richardson, and in
Gov. Tillman's case an itemized
statement of expenses was filed as
required by law._
It is reported that A. B. Wil
liams, of the Greenville News, will
resign his position on that journal
and seek a better field for his
talents elsewhere.
The Register says we'll promise
that Senator Irby won't forget his
registration ticket when the issue
of Democracy vs. Independentism
is at stake.
The Tillmanites have carried
every county in the State except
Richland, Spartanburg and prob
ably Charleston. They lost Spar
tanburg and gained Beaufort and |
Georgetown._
The Atlanta Constitution. says|
that the willipus-wallipus has
rolled on the News and Courier.
We don't know what the willipus
wallipus is, but if it's a friend of
Ben Tillman let 'er roll some
more.
The Philadelphia Press esti
mates that there are now 328
delegates to the Minneapolis Con
vention instructed for Harrison,
312 uninstructed, but favorable to
Harrison, 50 for Blaine, 24 for
Alger and 186 unknown.
Should Mr. Tillman remain in
the field until August, Mr. Shep
pard will administer to him a
most inglorious defeat. Nothing
has yet occurred to weaken the
Conservative side ; on the contrary
everything has tended to strength
en it.-Columbia Record. .
Bully for you !
The Columbia Register says
that the ring-rulers express great
surprise and indignation that a j
gentleman of Mr. W. C. Benet's
"culture and refinement" should
so far condescend as to address an
audience of workingmen and me
chanics in the classic city of
Columbia !
A special to the Bee from Rush
ville, Neb., says : "Snow has fallen
here during the past thirty-eight |
hours to the depth of sixteen
inches. It will be severe on cattle
on the sand hills and will retard

In India a favorite taDg for a |
jaded palate is ant-mash. The
insects are caught in pitfalls and

raisins.-Record.
This dish should be called anti
mash, and as the antis will need a
good supply of "tang" this fall we
suggest that the editor of the |
Record send for a car load of ant
mash and have it ready.
A telegram from New Orleans,
May 9th, says: The Mississippi
to-day is one vast, rushing sea.
I?e levees throughout this State

levasses. At Greenville the river f

The ADVERTISER had a full re
ort of Tillman's speech at Edge- fi
eld, and not a line of Sheppard's ti
r Orr's or anybody's else.-New- a

The ADVERTISER doesn't make ti
icuses, or very rarely, for its sins g!
f omission or commission, but in j|j
lis case we havn't sinned at all.

ad Orr's utterances than of a

Not long ago the anti papers were ?
using Cain because Tillman ?J
imoved Cantwell from office, o
ur the reason that he already held ai
ii office, Judge Wallace deciding C<
tat he could hold two offices ; now ?*
ley are raising Ned because the
overnor has appointed Lieut.
DT. Gary to sit in one case only ,mj

w, but a Tillmanite can hold m

The report that A. B. Williams, ow

It will be remembered that in
the organization of clubs in Edge
field County on the 9th of April,
ult., Plum Branch, Fruit Hill,
Meeting Street and Cleveland went
for Sheppard. We now have the
moBt sanguine' statements that
these clubs, every one, will go for
Tillman in the primaries. The
same is. true of Johnston and

at the same time enjoy the fruits
of this grand victory we cannot

Dr. J. II. Burkhalter, of Edge
field passed through the city this
morning en route to Atlanta
to attend the Southern Baptist
convention, which meets thereto
morrow.
When questioned as to ' how
South Carolina would go in the
approaching election he said in
his opinion it would go for Shep
pard.
"Doctor, how do you arrive at
that conclusion in view of the face
that a majority of the delegates
elected througout the state are
strong adherents of the Tillman
movement"?
"The opposition to Tillman." he
answered, "did not endeavor to
poll their strength in the election
of delegates, as they did not want
the Tillman men to know their
strength and wished the people to
know, by the delegates sent, just
what sort of material the Tillman
faction is composed of.-Augusta
Herald.
"Wished the people to know by

composed of." Ahl indeed.

HarvTi -xmiiratr ^.astayg Hard at
Work.
We clip the following from The
State of the 9th inst. :
Governor Tillman yesterday
afternoon returned ffom his visit
to Washington and the North, but
he failed in getting the matter
settled in regard to securing the
$18,000 interest on the direct tax
which he claims is still due this
State under the refundment act
and the money is still in the
United States Treasury.
The Governor although he fully
expected to get it, says that he is
in nowise disconcerted, but is al
the more resolved that the
imount shall be secured, come
ft'hatmay.
He says that he appeared before
Secretary Foster and explained
;he grounds on which he stands,
md that official fully agreed with
lim that the amount was justly
lue, but said that the First Comp
roller of the United States hav
ng already decided the question,
he only remedy that this State
Tould have would be to carry the
natter into the courts.
Governor Tillman says that be
ore leaving he saw the represen
atives of another Southern State
nd they, after a consultation,
ecided that they would at once
ike the matter into the courts,
etting the other Southern States
milarly situated to join with
lem in the fight.
The Governor has fully made up
is mind as to his course, and in
short time will cause mandamus
roceedings to be inaugurated to
impel the Secretary of the
reasury to pay over the money to
ie State. These proceedings will
i inaugurated in the Supreme
ourt for the District of Columbia
id will then go the Supreme
mrtof the United States where
ie law will have to be construed.
ORDERING A STATE VES8EL.
After completing his business in
e National Capital, Governor
liman went to New York, where
i spent some days. He went
ere for the purpose of exam
ing vessels, with the view of
dering a new coastwise vesse_

A Black Eye for the Third Party.
WASHINGTION, D. C., May 5.
-Mr. Simpson, Mr. Watson and
other alliance members of
congress try. to put a favorable
construction on the address sent
out yesterday by the conference
of alliance presidents, but there is
a suspicion that the third party
[movement has received a bad
? black eye. Southern Democrats are
much encourged and believe Hhe
disintegration of the alliance as a
power in politics has commenced.
The leaders of the alliance, they
say, wanted to turn the organization
in' a political machine and use
i wer for the election of the
tir? party candidates. They
found, however, when it came to
a national election they could; riot
count on the support of the rank
and file in their party for a policy
that would have no other effect
than to divide the Democrats and
make Republican success compara
tively easy. A senator from, a
Southern State said to-day : "The
leaders of the alliance have made
a complete failure in their ?ffort
to organize a political party, and
the third party cloud that has
been hanging over some of the
southern States is beginning to
dissipate, I do not think; the third
party will cut much of a figure in
any locality, and will not carry a
single electoral vote in the whole
country."
Although Robert ToombB may
have been a rash talker, he was a
Bafe counsellor, and evinced the
nicest scruples in tbe practice of
his profession. On one occasion
he said to a client who had stated
his case to him : "Yes, you can
recover in this suit, but you ought
not to do so. This is a case where
law and justice are on opposite
sides" The client told him he
would push the case any how.
"Then," said Mr. Toomba, "you
must hire some one else to assist
you in your damned rascality."
At another time, a luwyer went to
him and asked him what he
should charge a client in a case to
which Mr. Toombs had ,ju6t
listened in the court house Well,"
said Mr. Toombs, "I should charge
a thousand dollars, but you. ought
to have five thousand, for you did
a great many things that I would,
not have done."_jg .'

Cheap Editions and reprints have been frequently offered by
riodicals as premiums to subscribers, but never before has an origi
l subscription edition on best paper, and in cloth binding (sold at
ail at $7.p0), been reduced to fifty cents-probably less than the
it of the binding alone-and presented to the readers of a magazine
Dil receipt of fifty cents.
Such an offer will never be made again. No publisher could af
d to make it unless he wished to present 8 magazine which he felt
e had only to be introduced to retain its permanent place on the
lily book table-a magazine just as interesting to the young boy or
I as to the oldest grey head.

ablest authors in tho world, with over 1300 illustrations by clever
;sts. a magazine whose field is the world, andas the best test of
rit is success, its growth from 16,000 to 100,000 copies within the
t three years, best attests its worth.
