THEIR XAST CAB* Having charged Ben 1 with everything else, the a: now charging him with coi -running from Youmi Kingstree. This is their lai and it isn't a tromp, as the ing letter written from Kim the Register will show : EDISOR REGISTER r-Much hi said, and more will be said, the course of Governor Tilh leaving the speaker's ste KingBtree, on Trrursday, Ju: His enemies will attempt to a mountain out of this mr1 Colonel Youmons called il ardly of. Tillman to lea\ stand. This is the the first that any such imputatio been made against any ( Tillman family and it will 1 last time it is ever' made a Ben Tillman. I?! Tillman's action saved t] of L. W. Youmans. It ia probable that Till action also saved the live ""others besides Youmans. Youmans, a hieh-toned g man otherwise, is a monorc with reference to Tillman, ply because Tillman won nded mans in his tenderest point vanity; hennas hurt Yoni most conspicuous, quality r> -conceit. . / To all who'hear the v speed the candidates or read the : lished reports there of ene A is patent-that Youmans i tuated in all he,says and doe deep a.nd violent hatred, .personal animosity to the fa who has overturned the clai which Youmans belongs and its pride by putting plain, ffij! mon, everyday men in the oJ to which that class imagine had the perpetual, exclusive, ... abiding right. / Stir Youmans is a powerful v"; and in any other cause his spe( would have a powerful e but two facta vitiate theirinflu with all lovers of fair play. >": ', . First,,That deep-seated und hatred of Tillman prompts bitter things, the caustic vituj tion, that he indnlges in abou Governor and induces him to ; on a platform to many pl?nki which he is opposed. Will Colonel Youmans < that he is opposed to many of i planks of the platform r which he seeks the suffrages ol people? Second. The inordinate sonal vanity of Colonel Youn in continual boasts on the stu and in conversation that he is ?as wijped up the face of the e* with Tillman. Slowly in the minds of rn; people is growing ,up a convict that there is a dark conspiracy "involve^ Tillman in a quarrel w Youmans, ending up possibly i probably with a personal encouu The enemies of the Governor ki that it. iis useless to hope to def - him in any other way. Colo Youmans in each speech brags the valor he showed in the * and in '76; he is supposed to j\ a veritable fire-eater; Tillma temper is none of the longe possibly, Y?uma?s's tirades m arouse the Governor to res? them. What then? Who carr ? pistol? ' The Governor d( not. . Will Colonel Younmans 3 that he has not carried a pistol each campaign meeting? If t will he deny that there waaapist in his pocket at the Kingstn meeting? What use did he thii he would have for a pisto Colonel Youmans said on tl stump that at one time 1 meditated a personal assault c v Tillman, and it is said that 1 bought a certain ?heavy stiel -vMch he carries, for that ver purpose. He says certain frienc ^his induced him abandon th For how long did he abando H. If something Tillman sai provoked a desire on his part t cane him some time ago, perhap something that 4 Tillman migh - say again might awaken the sam desire. Are. Youmans's utterance on . the stump framed with tba purpose in view? . Suppose Tillman had remaine? at the-etand at Kingstree and los temper under Yonmans's crimi nations and made some bitte: retort, would Colonel Youmani have felt it incumbent upon hm there and then to wreak hil vengeance on Tillman by t personal assault [such as he aayt he meditated at "one time? Wat there a pistol in his pocket tc help him in such au undertaking? . Those who were present and knew the temper of the crowd can form an idea of what would have been the result. It would have - bee na not. Many staunch, sturdy farmers were present and they felt keenly all insults levelled at Till man, feeling them to be insults to themselves, viewing Tillman as the representative, in a peculiar sense, of the poor but% honest tillers of the soil. They would have loft but little of Youmans had any trouble occured. The Governor left, as he said, because he was tired, having made three speches and traveled during the week. He had to go to Florence that afternoon and leave there at 3 o,clock in the morning to perform * certain Gubernatorial duties, which had to be attended to before he left for Chicago. Are those not good and sufficient reasons why the Governor should leave the stand, ' after having at three previous meetings listenned to Colonel " Youmaps declaim the same speech and answered all such questions as he desired to ask, speeches and I replies having been published in the papers and ?sent ali over the State? * * Kingstree June 16, 1892. EX. COMMITTEE MEETING The County Executive Commit tee which met in the Court House or? Monday so changed the County Constitution as to make it conform to the State Constitution, which requires that all candidates must receive a majority of the votes cast in order to secure the nomira tion. The rule which has hitherto obtained in this county was that plurality of the votes was sufficient to give the nomination to the can didate receiving such plurality. The committee also adopted a rule"to the effect that candidates for the office .of Trial ./ustice should be voted for only by .persons living in the samo townships with themselves and over which juris diction is sought, v The committee also appointed the following series of county cam paign meetings at which candi dates may address the people : Colliers, Aug. 5. -Bold Spring, Aug. 9. - Good Hope, Aug. 12. /Mt. Willing, Aug. 16. WardB, Augv19. Edgefield, Aug. 23. The South Carolina . Railroad will be sold on tho 17th of Novem ber. That ever rolling, constantly moving, always audible "whirligig of Time" continues .to bring its proverbial revenges. As an in stance, the Bible whose ; reading was forbidden the slaves in ante bellum times has just been translated by a former slave of Mr. Jefferson Davis in the iSweetswa tongue, which is spoken by 260,000 Africans. Some would call this coincidence; others Providence. Christian'at Work. Others still would call it a "no such-of-a-thing," at least so-much of it as alleges that the reading of the Bible was forbidden to slaves. The editar of the ADVERTISER re* members when as a boy it was one of his duties on every Sunday afternoon to go around to all the negro cabins on his father's plan tation and read tile Bible to all whor-might care to hear it. He did not-like the task t/ie/i, but is glad nore that he can refute the above slander from his own ex Tjerience and knowledge. Snap Shots from the Berkeley Meeting. Yo?m^mvgs?-?^ tory about his course in theSen ?te. "He, said j Haskell. He Youmans, voted for Tillman, though they didn't speak. The crowd told Youmans they clid not believe he ever worked between plow handles. Youmans was joked much by the crowd He told a joke about the pig in the pea patch and the crowd told him they would fence Tillman in the pea patch. . Youmans : "Tillman is getting mighty fat since he has been in office." Voice: "Well, keep him there till he gets mui?le-jawed." Youmans : "Tillman says Shep pardites don't change." Voice : "Can a leopard change his spots?" Voice: '-Governor Tillman just beginning to do us good." Youmans: "Why you couldn't buy a postage stamp according to Tillman." > Voice "If you got in we could not buy a postal card : we'd have to writ to gals on tho ground." Youmans : "If I got credit for all I've done I could get any office in the State." Voice: "Come over on our side?" Youmans : "If I came over your e;oat fleas would get in my wool." He then tom hed on the $3 poll tax. Voice : "My hog, my dog, my cow are taxed, but your bank stock is not. We want to pay the $3 poll tax to educate : ar children." Poor old Coosaw was raked sver against to find something that Tillman had" done which he ought not to have done. Voice: "Do you believe that Sheppard, will make a better Gov ernor than Tillman?" Youmans : "No use for me to talk about that." Voice: "Must le some reason why you want to turn him out?" Voice : "He wants to get in." Youmans: "The people don't want Tillman." Voice : "We do. Take a vote and you will get about six . men here," Youmans : "I don't want to fool none of you." An old farmer asked if he meant this in the literal sense. Youmans: "Yes." Farmer: "Call him down on his grammar, t\yo negatives makein'g an affirmative." Who says the farmer don't get there. Tillman says farms and mules ar? only returned at half value. Why, then, make banks pay at full assessment?" Voice: "Mules might die, but the bank stock stays there." Youmans taffied the crowd about the demands of the farmers for more money and they told him he wa s coming over, and they would send him to Congress. He said he would rather go there than be Secretary, of State. The crowd said they were in for Youmans after Youmans said he was not for the Ocala platform. Youmanu would not say where he stood on tho State platform though the crowd aBked him to. The crowd said they were going to'make Tillman something big in the country. After some nice things said about the order at the . -Hampton and Berkeley meetings, Youroans concluded. He is the most forcible , fighter the Sheppardites have, and was so conservative today as to gain the good opinion, but tnot the votes of the crowd. Attorney General McLaurin in keen "humor held up Youmans to ridicule, and the crowd laughed at his pictures, of Youmans's vanity and anti-Tillinan. The crowd suggested that You mans ougt to be the last speaker | on each programme. McLauin said that the ad mimistration -had found certain lawson the books, and had tried to carry them out in the spirit of | equal rights to all and special favors to none. [Applause.] McLaurin said he would not I keep on, as Youmans was cou- J sidered Farley's especial meat, and all the other candidates on the Sheep side had flown the track. The crowd demanded that he keep on speaking. McLaurin snowed the mag nificent courage of Tillman in the Agricultural Hall case. Voice ; "He is.a hoss of aman." The crowd applauded to the echo McLaurin's prediction that unless Tillman was knifed by the efforts of smooth, scheming and wily politicians, ?nd if he is kept be fore the people, he would continue ? to grow and would be the greatest | mm South CcroMna has produc d since the days of J.
