: THURSDAY, JUNE 16,1892. ? g." ' ' - ^ -- THOS,JyADAMS, - - - - - '- EDITOR THE CAMPAIGN MEETINGS. ? I Last week campaign meetings were held at Barnwell, Hampton, I Beaufort, and Walterboro, at all of which Tillman carried the day and I won tKe honors. TheGreenville News concedes that .the Governor's speech at Barnwell was the finest of his life. Ninety per cent, of ./the crowd were with him, and the antis had a slim showing. Orr in : his address told again what Till man had said about hell, and said ' it was very naughty to use such language before ladies, forgetful of the fact that it must be equally naughty in him to repeat it before the ladies at all the campaign meetings. We think the antis must onjoy the opportunity of using what they call "bad language." They remind one of the little boy who is always tellling his mother some "dreadful" words that an other little boy said, with the as " sertion that ho himself is too good ?: r- to say anything so wicked. At Hampton Tillman's friends were again in the majority, and hiB -wit and logic were enthusiastically applauded. Orr continued ?o repeat at all the meetings the "naughty" words, and Sheppard to recite "Mary had a little lamb." ? They /^seem to think nothing more origi nal is necessary to success in stump speaking. At Beaufort the attendance was slim and the Governor spoke only . thirty minutes. After fhe meeting | the Beaufort Democratic club tes id to the loyalty of the county - by tendering the Governor and his parly a delightful excursion down the river. Af Walterboro the Tillmanites were so enthusiastic that they would r.ot-even listen to the antis. In his .speech here the Governor said, apropos of his reference to \ prohibition in his inaugural ad dress: "Men will no more stop drinking*than they will stop marry . ing, and as it is an evil, the best thing to be done is to make it as little evil as possible. If three? fourths of the license was paid into the State and county treas uries, there would be less induce ment to cities to license bars, and many of them would declare for local prohibition. This change wouM reduce taxes." The correspondent ofSthe News and Courier states that* at the Barnwell meeting-Governor Till man wore a salmon colored helmet hatband wore it wrong, side before. P?rhr?s^hresdid, and perhaps^he it a man wears.or the way he wears it, but what's in the hat that j tells the tale of "in the soup" ori .*inthe swim." It will be a great disappointment to the people of this county not to | hear Tillman and Sheppard once again during this campaign. These ? duenn ial jamborees are all the fun we poor sinners have, and when we are left out in the cold it makes us shiver. At Walterboro an old negro sold the crowd what he called "Tillman cake and ice cream." The old fellow was politic if he wasn't a . politician. He knew what name to give to his stuff. Nicodemus Democrats-that is what they call the Haskell ites now ; and the reason they call 'em that is because they had to be born again before Irby would let 'em into the kingdom of Democracy. An Edgefielcl lady who was atthe Beaufort campaign meeting on last Friday says that, when Tillman arose to speak at that place he shut the other eye ; whether to empha size the fact that he had but one eye or not she does not know. He stood in this attitude for a minute or so, the ladies in the meantime making such remarks as this "Why that old thing can't speak.' "Cau it talk?" "Isn't it ugly," etc But not more than five words had been spoken when the old thing had captured ladies and all. They were completely carried away with his wit and bonhommie, his logic ; and sparkling repartee. This lady was and is an anti-Tillman lady and what she says does not have to be token with even a grain of salt. THE RECORD SET RIGHT. Last week we announced that it had been mutually agreed be tween Tillman and Sheppard that a campaign meeting should not be held at Edgefield. Upon this matter the Edgefield Chronicle of last week said.. "The overture for abandoning the Edgefield meeting certainly came from the Tillman side." Upon this subject Maj. Ernest Gary is reported in the Columbia Register of the 8th inst, as saying that which makes it appear that the proposition came direct from Sheppard himself. The following is the interviewe. ? Register ' reporter yesterday approached Mr. Ernest Gary and asked him for his version of the "calling off" the Edgefield meeting. His reply was as follows : "On my return home from the May Convention the train on which Governor Sheppard was also a passenger, missed connec tion at Trenton with the ?train for Edgefield. Governor Sheppard and myself hired a conveyance at Trenton, and during the drive to Edgefield I stated to him that inasmuch as he and Governor Tillman hadr eccntlyjaddressed the people of Edgefield County, and were both born and raised in the County that it would be useless to address the people again in so short a time. Governor Sheppard replied that he fully agreed with rue, and requested me to write Governor Tillman and ascertain if the meeting could not dispensed with. - I immediately wrote the above facts to Governor Tillman and submitted the letter to Governor Sheppard before sending it. He stated that it was all right. "Governor Tillman replied in a short time, stating that, in view of tht> fact.that he intended to speak at Wise's Ferry on the Saluda side of the County? he did not object to-having the Edgefield meeting cancelled. Governor Tillman's letter was also shown to Governor Sheppard on the day of its reception. "Gov?rnpr Tillman had nothing whatever to do with the cancelling of the appointment, and simply acquiesced in the arrangement made by Governor Sheppard and myself. HARRISONLETS. Harrison walked off with his Igrandpap's hat and didn't half] ?ry. - As the Republicans have nomi nated Harrison, a-Western man, for President, the logic of the sit uation would seem to demand that the Democracy should put up a| Western man to "do him up." It's a great mistake to suppose it will be an easier matter to beat ben Harrison than it would have been to beat Jim Blaine. The tribe of Benjamin is a hard tribe to down. . We must fight if we would win. ; . -V+-f-? It is alv ays easier to beat a bril liant man like Blaine than a plod ding get-there-Eli sort like Harri son. OUTLOO K FOR COTTON. The government report on cotton [was published on last Friday. It j I estimates the reduction in cotton ?acreage at 16 per cent, and a frac rounQ numners. Supposing the seasons this year to be as good as last year, the production per acre the same,|we will havethe following J figures Production, 1891, 9,000,000, Less 16 per cent., 1,440,000 j Production, 1892, 7,560,0001 It-ddesn't seem probable that in 1892 we can have another phenome nally good cotton year, and it is the general impression that 16 per cent, is too small an estimate of the re duction of cotton acreage. Such being the case, 7,560,000 bales are very conservative figures, and it looks as if cotton ought to go up sometime in the sweet by and by. NEGRO DEMOCRATS. The negroes of New York State are joining the Democratic party. At a recenteonvention consisting of two hundred delegates a platform was adopted, one of the planks of which is as follows : "The Democratic party, is the poor man's party ; it is the exponent of labor, which is our lot. We are consumers. We have no place in < the protected manufactories. The < key to the tariff that contains the 1 solution of all the problems is in j !the interest of labor.' To this the ! Democratic party is committed. The day of sycophancy and truckling and sentimental politics has passed. The demand of the i lour is for men ; men with strong J ?onvictious ,* men to develop an * sducational citizenship ; new men 1 with new ideas suited to a new cf ara." A resolution adopted by the same body reads thus : "There are to-day m our country I, 470,000 legal colored voters. We believe that it is neither sound politics nor good statesmanship that they should unalterably ittach themselves to one party, md base their demands on the needs, wants, and desires of the aegro rather than of the citizens, md that the accident of color T mould now control the way in 1 yhich men should vote." Of this new departure our generally level-headed con tem- t >rary, the Columbia Register. r lays: J "It is evident that the Republican p jarty is rapidly losing its grip so tl ar as the negro vote is concerned. ?Vhen the negroes of New York ;ut loose from it their brethern in he South will sooD follow suit." We can't sympathize with the aspirations of our contemporary i-.-."" ?^r?'i?- i to have the negro come into the D?mocraties party South. It is best that the Southern negro should always remain what he is, Republican. It may be well enough in New York, where there are so few negroes, that should join the Democracy, but it will be a sad day for the South when the negro becomes a Democrat. It would mean disin tegration, dissolution, and corrup tion, of the party and political and social damnation from Maryland to Texas. President L. L. Polk, of the Farmers Alliance, died in Washington on last Saturday.' Col Polk was a relative of Presi dent Polk. He was a native of North Carolina, where he was born about fifty-five yjeras ago, His edu cation was recived in the common schools. During the war he served for a timo in the Confederate army, and resigned to go to the Legislature, to which body he had been elected. Later he filled for several years the office of commissioner of agriculture for North Carolina, and later still he began the publication of the Progressive Farmer, which he managed for a long time. At the time of his death he "was serving third term as president of the body to which he has given so much of his time and attention. Col. Polk's home was at Raleigh, N. C. He leaves a wife and three children. '?The Begats." The late Mr. Conington, professor of Latin in the University of Oxford, was noted for his prodigious memory. At a very early age it began to show it self. When he was a child of four or thereabouts lie was sleeping one night in the same room with a relative, when, at the dead of night, his voice was to be heard crying out in the darkness from his little cot in the corner: "Uncle! Uncle! I know tho Begats. Uncle-The what? Go to sleep, my boy, you are dreaming. Child-I know the Begats. Listen! And he began: "Abraham begat Lsaac and Isaac begat Jacob and Jacob begat Judah," and so on to the end, sou ie forty-two generations, without a mis take.--London Tit-Bits. Too Previous. "And you won't many me, Kit?" "I won't." "No use talking about it any uioie?" "Not a bit. It won't do any good, Hank." The Oklahoma youth, hurt and angry, reached under his chair for his hat. "It's my own fault, I s'pose," he grumbled. "I ort to have waited till we'd got a little better acquainted." "Yes, that's about the size of it, Hank," assented the young woman cold ly. "When it comes to courtin you're too much of s sooner to suit me. Good evenin."-Chicago Tribune. Accurate. * In a breach of promise case, the other day, the lady on the stand said that when a friend suggested that she would make birq a good wife, he answered: W something of that krna." This reminds one of the accu rate witness who swore that some one had called ovar the banisters, "Tom, Tom," or words to that effect.-San Francisco Argonaut. The Thumb an Index to Character. The way in which the thumb is held is a true sign of character. The man who turns it in under his fingers is al ways weak. That is the position in which it is alyraya held by a child. The thumbs of great men are large and point out conspicuously from their fel low members.-Interview in St. Louis Globe-Democrat. A Trick of Cross Examination. in an action for payment of a tailor's bill, a witness swore that a certain dress coat was badly made, one of the sleeves being longer than the other. "You will," said Erskine alowly, having risen to cross examine, "swear-that one of the sleeves was-longer-than the other?*' Witness-I do swear it. Erskine (quickly, and with a flash of indignation)-Then, sir, I am to under stand that you positively deny that one of the sleeves was shorter than the other? Startled into a self contradiction by the suddenness and impetuosity of this thrust, the witness said, "I do deny it." Erskine (raising his voice as the tu multuous laughter died away)-Thank ?rou, sir; I don't want to trouble you with another question.-San Francisco Argonaut. Soldiers Prefer Grain Food. Cornmeal was the grand necessary of life to those legionaries who, led by Caesar, subdued the world, and who 1 counted themselves starved and were ( ipt to mutiny if reduced to the "famine { "are" of animal food. Even British Toops have been known to suffer from in exclusive meat diet, as indeed we found tn our cost in the Zulu campaign )f 1878, while the preference of the Ro nan soldiery for the vegetable food has ta justification in the experience of the ctussian army, and still more of the 11 German one In 1870, which carried that 11 nemorable campaign to ita triumphant dose ou the Erbswurst (pea sausage fav ored tor a little bacon).-London Lancet ( ti ?argn Family g Patay Dooley was a very poor arith- t notician, and was puzzled by a great nany questions of numbers which did lot enter other people's heads. | * One day a new acquaintance remarked n his presence: "I have eight brothers."
