now charging him with coi

ardly of. Tillman to lea\

that any such imputatio

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

temper is none of the longe

arouse the Governor to res?
them. What then? Who carr

not. .
Will Colonel Younmans 3
that he has not carried a pistol

will he deny that there waaapist

meeting? What use did he thii

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

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? * *

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.

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 |
