" Hampton dub will meet in the Court House on next Saturday at 4'p. m., by order of President J. Glover ^/Tompkins. Dedicatory Service. In a short time there will be a dedi catory service of our new Methodist Church. The exact date has not yet been determined. Lion vs. Tadpole. Dr. Timmerman thinks the idea of Ben Tillman running-from Yonmans is as preposterous and unthinkable as that a lion should, run from a tadpole. Pound a Day. Mr. NZ. L. Brunson, o' our town, has a cow from which he gets a pound.of delicious butter every day. 'this is the kind of cow you read about but don't - often see, Let Ail Go. Next Sunday will be one yearsince Mr. Booth was called to the pastorate of the Baptist Church at this place, and he hopes to see every member of : . his congregation present on that day. lake River Bottoms. Contractor A. B. Waits, who went up in the Good Hope section on last . Saturday, returned on Monday. He ' reports the corn, crops as the best he ever saw; even upland corn looks like river bottoms. No Parsonage. Every church in our town has a par sonage-a locr.l habitation for its pas tor-except the Baptist. This should should not be so. The largest and richest church should have a handsome house for a parsonage. A Gourd Fiddle. We are under profound obligations to our young friend John Tyler Gard ner for the gift of a gourd fiddle, a Tillman fiddle he calls it, and it is the very kind no doubt that David played when he danced before the Children of Israel. Rules Require. The rules of the Democratic party require that all candidates shall make known their views from the stump, ard this includes candidates for county as well as candidates for State offices. Remember this, candidates, and get ready for the catechism. Good News. Our old friend Frank Cooper, of - Cooper Township, says he bas rever seen such fine crops in his country as are growing there at present. He furthermore says that if the rains con tinue Edgeiield county won't have to buy a grain of corn this year. V , Sure to Go. As a good example to the young men and boys of Edgefield we commend the pluck and energy of young Frank Watson. He has a farm in the suburbs of our town to which he goes every day, and plows and hoes it all by him self. Rain or shine, sleet or snow, . Young Frank Watson's sure to go. A Novel Suggestion. The Bamberg Herald says: "The Yankees as a class are very fond of relics, souvenirs and reminders. Why doesn't some enterprising South Caro linian go into the business of selling twiggs from the branches of trees on which desperadoes were lynched. Right here in Barnwell are some his toric trees. 'Over in Edgefield there are forests of them." A Promising Harvest. . The rains and seasons all over Edge fleld county have been magnificent up to- date, and crops of all kinds are looking better than ever before in years; and such a diversity of crops! In addition to cotton and corn,, there has been planted a very large acreage in peas, onions, sweet potatoes, sugar cane and rice.' t Would you believe it, real sugar ca ;ie and rice growing in abundance in Edgefield county! and over in the Et herodge section there is a rice mill built on purpose to clean this cereal. Where They Went. . Professors Lander, Spessard, and Rankin went from Edgefleld to Aiken for the purpose of opening a Teachers1 Institute at that place. The Aiken Journal and Review says: "The at tendance of male teachers upon tin sessions of the Teachers' Institute hat been very small, only two having beet enrolled during, the first two days That they are not all perfect will b? inferred from the following answer ii reply to a question asked yesterday morning : A lady teacher on her wai to the Institute met a male teacher am inquired of him why he had not at tended the Institute, his reply was : *J don't believe in them Institutes nt how.'"

AN ABLE ARGUMENT From an Esteemed Contributor Showing; Up the Hypocrisy and Pecutiarilies of thc ?'Antis." MR. EDITOR: Wonder why the anti-administration editors and part of the anti-snpporters in South" Carolina were created im maculate? Judging from their utterances and acts, they certainly believe that they are more than mortal. They vainly imagine that what they don't know it would be folly for others to try to learn. These editors must surely think that i hey have a hoad as large as a half-bushel, and if these heads don't quit expanding, we will soon have a circus, consisting of a bat talion of "enlarged noddles" wear ing cheese boxes for hats, "beavers" all too small. Tested by any means it will be clearly shown that all people are made of the same "mud," all are equal by nature. Then is it as they imagine, that they have a monopoly of brains and intelligence? If an editor espouses the cause of the farmer he is accused of growing wealthy by actiuy "lick spittle" for them. The leaders of the farmers are demagogues, mug wumps, etc. Yes, South Carolina is a demagogue ridden State; they say. Right here, is an editor any better than other people? Is the editor of the county -paper any more brilliant than the man of ordinary intelligence? Some of them evidently think so. Some imagine that because they are the editors of anti papers they are in fallible. They are not lo be consistent at all ; because they belong to the anti phalanx they say, and do anything simply tocaTry their point politi cally. They may call others liars, demagogues, and undemocratic, in fact- the ordinary country editor may accuse a whole delegation of good and tru& men sent to a national convention of being un democratic, and of being.igno ramuses, etc., and all his readers must hereafter consider them as such, because this wisc and in fallible anti lias placed their brains in one side of the balances and aptly put his in the otherside, and his statement is, his out weighed 'em all. Let a reformer return the com pliment-and they at once find a man BO small he can't be seen un der the microscope. Some have found human beings that-are smaller than animalculis. Some of the purest men in the State are hypocrites,, simply be causo they are Tillmanites. They are ever watchful, looking for mot?is in the eyes of the reform ers, but apparently too busily en gaged are they to see the beams in their own eyes. What is an offense in a reformer is commendable in an anti, according to their logic. For instance it has gone the rounds of the press and is starting on a second trip, that Senator Irby and Attorney General McLaurin car ried concealed weapons. Yebyou have never heard a .word from them about Col. Youmans's pistol at Kingstree, except that papers and men a hundred miles from Col. Youmans, can, without hear ing from him, denounce the report as false ; and so you must treat it, because some of the immaculate conservatives command you to. If the town marshals w?re to examine the hip-pockets of these same ed itors when they "step down the street," perhaps these officials would find something to report to the town councils about "little pistols." They may hold secret caucuses, yet it is very undemocratic for the reformers to do the very same thing. Every means is being used tc prejudice the farmers and theil friends against the present admin istration. The papers have beer full of lengthy editorials aboui Tillman's profanity, yet some oj these editors don't even go inside of a church once in three months In fact very few of the antis tha harp so on Tillman's immoralit) have any religion to spare. If the} were one-thousandth as religiouf as they claim to be, they woulc have dome charity-abuse Tillmai less and pray for him more. I they are as good as they claim ti be their united prayers would ac complish good, for "the prayer of the righteous availeth much." The conservatives say that the] will win if they can devise Bomi scheme to get all their men to tin polls. Surely the day of miracle has returned and they are jus creating full grown men bj' th thousands. One of their campaign argy ments is that their forces are gain ing largely each day from the re form ranks. Hoping by this argu ment to win some that always see the popular side, but evidently th reform ranks have no "weakness, all are strong and arni and bomi to remain so. They admit tha they can change many votes i they can get good workers at ?ach box. ' Thus these vain and sophis ticated antis rise to the very height of impudence and practi cally state that the farmers haven't the sense to make a wise selection. If these "horny handed sons of toil" had the brain to make the choice, why do the antis claim they were duped and deceived by Till man? By their reasoning, therefore, the farmers are 'ignorant, and criminally ignorant, else they could ne^ er have been so basely deceived. Some even use as an argument against Gov. Tillman's election, that he said, for that almost unmentionable crime, he would head a mob to lynch the vile scoundrel who committed the deed. They surely must not know the inestimable value of the virtue of ou? pure women. Tillman will lose no, votes by protecting the purity of woman. All the con servatives' arguments are, however, equally as fantastic as the above. "Tillman arrays class against class." One of their men, they say their strongest, Col. Youmans, when a candidate for Congress said in a speech at Wards : "All the other candidates are lawyers, I am a farmer,you are farmers, therefore, the shoe that pinches my foot will hurt yours also." Has Tillman said any more than this to "array class against class?" That is that the farmers have the majority and should therefore rule it. These same "consistent con servatives" did not wish any bit terness in the campaign, they were going to throw roses instead of rocks. Have their speakers acted thus? Have their papers done it? These same straightouts de nounce independentism in one breath and in the next eulogise papers run by "independents." Every act of the antis is for "peace and unity" in the Demo cratic party. Yel they subscribe to papers gotten up by "bolters" whose highest object was to op poso the Democratic administra tion. This they have nurtured and helped to cultivate this same discord and dissension, that they so fiercely oppose. They will claim, however, that they have the right to subscribe to or to discontinue any paper they wish, yet if the farmers were to drop the anti pa pers which have fought them- so bitterly, these same "conserva tives" would cry out boycott. But it is no boycott when an anti puts an administration and reform pa perback in the office. and writes on it, "We don't read the --:."' In justification of their "course these papers say: "Fighting the Farmers' Movement, Agricultural College, Alliance, etc., is not fight I ing the farmers." As an illustra tion, suppose a certain Baptist church was to call Mr. A. to preach for them, and when he gets in the pulpit he denounces most ardently close communion and immersion. His members go to him and say, "Mr. A. your course is objection able to us-instead of advocating our church, you fight it." He re plies : "Oh, no, you are mistaken, I didn't say anything against the Baptists, I spoke of close com munion and Immersion." Now, wouldn't this be a flimsy get out, since these are two of the cardinal doctrines of the Baptist denomi nation? Just so the farmers or re form element in South Carolina, is what makes the Farmers' Move ment, the Alliance, etc,, therefore it follows, that when they strike one of these "principal parts," as it were, they aim a blow directly at the farmers. Some of the zealous anti organs are willing to lose South Caro lina's electoral vote if thereby they might defeat Tillman. But the very papers and men that so strenuously opposed Cleveland's nomination, will now he is nomi nated work hardest for his success in South Carolina, for they don't belong to the "bolting" class. The antis have their most dex trous smiths at work making small and comely wedges, and their most cunning and scheming politicians are endeavoring to find' a weak place in the ranks of the reform ers, to drive these wedges so as to cause a split, but most probably they will learn before the Ides of next November that tho reformers' log is too tough to split. WOOL HAT. Witty and Wise Saws from Old "Rip Van'Winkle." MR. EDITOR : Please have "Tim," "Dido,'' "One Gallus," and all your host of correspondents make room at the front for "Rip" once more. I cannot bear vituperation so ask space for vindication. The ladies are giving me "Hail Colum bia" for writing from "Choty." They say we don't live in Choty. Does the good Lord know where Choty is? Start out, Mr. Editor, and see ii you can discover Choty. Should you discover it, Columbus will bc "second person spoken of." . This place is five miles' east ol Clark's Hill,'sixteen miles west Edgefield C. H., aDd the vicina, the home of the McKies, Garret Talberts, Tillmanp, Busseys, Ha: monds, Prescotts, etc. Choty derived its name frc the aborniginecs, whose town this section was Echota.

EDITOR: Will you allow n a, short space in your valuable pj per for a dot or two. In your last issue I read that a old lady near Parksville set a he abd not one single chick did tilt hen bring off, and she, (the ol lady) says that Tillman .was tl: cause' of it. I beg her pardoi Tillman is not to blame at al She is an "anti" and tho reaso her eggs did not hatch is that the were too dry. If she will groas her next setting, they will a hatch. Sheppard eggs are all tc dry to hatch. Grass crops are looking ever s fine, down here, and we are expec ing a bountiful harvest. In othe words, if we do not hustle, Genen Green will do us up badly.

Prc gramme to be published by a coir nrittee for that purpose. , 1, ' L. F. DORN, Mod'r. SJ E. FREELAND, Sec. & Treas. Progress of The Campaign. Ten meetings have been held, o nearly one-third of the State ha been canvassed up to this date and'the plans and policy of bot] sides have been pretty wei developed, so that a looker on cai easily foretell what the rest of i will. be.Before the regular campaigi opened, the main hope of th opposition was that Sheppard an< Orr would overwhelm and crusl Governor Tillman, but the Green ville and Edgefield meetings dem onstrated too plainly that neithe nor both were able to cope wit] him in a square fight before th j people, and therefore that hop vanished. When th.3 regular cam paign opened at Barnwell, Messrs Sheppard and Orr were bot! present ; but the latter soon lef the field, and was superseded b Youmans who made his firs appearance at Hampton, in hi native County. The policy c withdrawing Orr, abd whe: necessary Sheppard, and placin Youmans immediately after Til] man, so that the latter could nc reply, was developed there, but wa immediately checkmated by Ger eral Farley's speech, which turne Youmans to ridicule and left hir a,sorry spectacle before the crowe As Youmans's speech containe all the venom, and misrepresent tion of the old stale, oft-repeate charges against the Governor, i was seized upon by the extrem antis and Haskellites as represen ting their idea of how the cam paign should be conducted, an the opposition press at once laude him to th?* skies. Sheppard soon proved himsel an "artful dodger," and Orr was big blunderer, but Youmans -wa a new element, as a vituperato] they proceeded to make the moe of him, hoping that they could a least gratify spite and take reveng if they could not secure success While Governor Tillman paid n attention, practically, to Youmans the speeches of the latter wer made -failures at every point b; his able lieutenants, Farley am McLaurin, and this hope begun t vanish until the Kingstrea rneetin which the newspapers, not th people present, made a regula ; "mare's nest" of. At the close o the second week the meeting a Florence settled thc fact that You ' mans himself knew that his speed 1 was worth nothing unless h could speak with impunity, afte . Governor Tillman, and therefor I he flunked and wonld not speak a all. Hence the last hope for th antis is practically dead, and tin campaign virtually decided, fo I- although they may provoke am annoy Governor Tillman some what in its further progress, by way of malice and revenge, it is clear to the people that the game has been played aud won on the second round-Columbia Register. The very papers in our State that championed Cleveland's cause so persistently would sacrifice him to-morrow, if by so doing they could defeat Tillman for Governor. But both Cleveland and Tillmrn are solid in South Carolina. The Reformers will see that banner of Democracy is upheld in the Palmetto State.-Register. ANNOUNCEMENTS $5 For the Round Trip.
