A hOCKDOLLIGEK.
In his speech at Darlington last
'-week Gov.Tillman read a letter
issued by the Republican commit
tee in the. election of 1890, advis
, ing and instructing Republicans to
watch the Haskellites on the
morning of the election, and if
they did not vote for Deas, Repub
lican nominee for- Congress, as
they had promised to do, then they,
the Republicans," should abstain
from voting for Haskell. This was
~ a bomb-shell, and, in Darlington
- county, Mew the Sheppard ticket
into smithereens and taints it still
more odoriferously with Haskell,
ism.. Here is the letter alluded to :
HEADQUARTERS OF REPUBLICAN )
Ex. COM. OF THITSLXTH CONGRES- >
SIGNAL Dis. OF S. C. )
DARLINGTON, S. C., Oct. 31, ?90.
DEAR SIR: YOU are hereby
instructed, and urged to see that
'Straightouts or Haskell Demo
crats carry out their obligation to
vote for oar Congressional candid
date, Hon. E. H. Deas, as was
promised by them as a condition
of our support of their County and
State ticket. Republican super
-"' visors are expected to ascertain
early in the morning whether or
not Straightouts are redeeming
their promises by voting for our
_ ?tandard hearer for Congress. If
they are not, information must be
given to the present chairman and
other prominent Republicans, who
.must at once give Straightest
leaders ta understand that unless
they vote for Mr. Deas, the
Republicans will not vote for Mr.
Haskell. Yours respectfully,

Hp- OUB STATE TREASURER.
Treasurer Bates has shown him
Vv .' Belf to be a most capable officer,
Ky and notwithstanding the many
difficulties, financial and "other
wise, he hastiad to encounter, has
conducted the affairs of his office
and the finances of the State with
great skill. Th? following extract
lg& from his annual report marks
Treasurer Bates as one of the best
E??}: Stated Treasurers in the United
? States. We beg our readers to
peruse this extract carefully, for
although short, there is a great
deal ic it:
"Notwithstanding the circum
stances that the receipts from
year, and that some
receipts of the fiscal year just
J: . closed were applied to payment of
SE- debts of preceding yearyfortunately
fi we have been able to meet every
demand- made upon the Treasury.
We have paid the loan negotiated
under Act of the Legislature by
the last administration, amounting
wich interest to $50,500, and also
every claim against the State as.it
was presented, without, resorting
toa loan, except in one small
instance."
THE STARTING PROCESS.
-
We clip the following from the
Columbia Register. It is an en
tirely new scheme to make politi
cal convects, and equals Russia in
its brutality and tyranny :
"A gentleman from Charleston
tells us that a drummer recently
invaded a store in Eegefield
. County, and presuming that the
proprietor was an anti, asked how
Tillman stood in his section. The
knight of the grip-sack, was j
informed that the farmers were
about soild for the Governor, and
the only opposition to him was j
found in the towns. At this
information the drummer swelled
with indignation and remarked :
"It's just the same way where
ever I have been over the State.
But it is in the power of the
banker* ard merchants to starve
these d-d scoundrels into sub
jection, and you ought to unite:
and do it. Cut off their rations
and you'll soon have them cring- j
ing at your feet like dogs and beg
ging you to 'run them.' Then tell
the d-d skunks that you will noti
let them have a peck of 'meal or a |
pound of bacon, if their families J
were starving, unless they sign an
obligation and swear to vote for
Sheppard. A good many merchants
that I have seen intend to do this, j
and you all ought to join in. If j
i yon can't argue sense into these
d-d fools and fanatics, why cut |
off their rations and Starve them
into submission. The banks and
corporations are drawing the line
and you merchants ought to do|
the same."
"What is the latest lie the ring
~ rulers have told on Tillman?"
This is the way the "horny headed"
sons of toil put the question to us
. now.
The effort of the antis to bring j
out an Alliance candidate for Gov
! i
]
?rnor shows that they are at the end (
of their row, and have give up all j
hope, absolutely all hope, but don't i
they try to keep a stiff upper lip.
Anybody can see through that
"stiff upper lip" business. It is \
simply done to keep their organi- i
.zation from falling all to pieces, t
<The fact and truth is that Dibble j
isn't trying to elect Sheppard Gov
ernor, hut to elect Dibble to some f
thing or other some time or other, i
Has Richardson found his vouch
ers? Not yet. But give him time.
"The cradle of liberty was never
rocked by trusts and monopolies."
-Tindall at Darlington.
Mr. Jasper Miller, who has been
one of A. C. Haskell's staunchest
supporters, and a strong anti-Till
man man, comes out ina card in
the Columbia Register and says
Tillman's re-election is assured,
and advises the people to accept |
the verdict and go to work and
build up that city.
The very latest rumor is that it j
is not Dibble but Hampten whom
the Haskellites are to run for Gov
ernor against Tillman on the Inde
pendent ticket, after his, Tillman's,
nomination in September. Wei
acquit Sheppard here and now of
harboring any such base designs [
against the Democracy. He will
quietly submit and support Till
man after his nomination, just
as every other good Democrat'
will do.
Gen. Hampton's Letter.
We publish* in this issue another
lotter from Gen, Hampton. The
General, as a rnle, has been un
fortunate in his utterances through
the public press, and his last letter
is no exception. It has been truly
said that "silence, at the" proper
time, is golden." ! Whether by
accident or oherwise, the General
usually selects the most critical
time in political affairs in the
State to come to the front with
public expre8sio. In one single
instance did he speak at the right
time. In June, 1882, Gen Ham
ton said :
"In the present condition of
parties in this State, an Independ
ent is, if possible, worse then a
Radical, for he steals the livery of
Heaven Jo serve the devil in,"
This was timely and well said.
But iu 1890, when A. C. Haskell
deserted the Democratic party
and appealed to negro vote, Gen.
Hampton firmly refused to* lend
his great [influence to the Demo
cracy, and thus, in a letter to
Chairman Irby, endorsed Haskell's
loyalty :
"No one who knows Col. Haskell
can doubt, his sincerity, his
conscientiousness Nor his Demo
cracy, I certainly do not."
At the general election in No
vember Haskell proved his loyal ty^
or ratljer his disloyalty, to the
Democracy by voting for Ensor,
the Radical candidate for Congress,
againat . regular Democratic
nominee.
When The -State, as the re
presentative of the old Haskellite
and so-called Conservative
elements, was clamoringv for a
^Tnrr.Y#jM> *hey really...di "
letter to TheI Mte/hJB raV?rTTe
exponent, in whieh he said :
lIf the 'dominant party,' as
those members of the Ring like to
call themselves, refuse that dem
and of those opposed to them, my
opinion is that the convention
which is to meet this month have
a primary, and if the result shows,
as I have no doubt it will, that the
opponents of the present Admin
istration are in a majority, they,
as the true Democretic party,
should assume control, not only of
the policy to be pursued in the
approaching canvass, but of the
State itself."
Italics in the above are ours.
Just what Gen. Hampton meant
when ho said that "they," (mean
ing the orignal Ha skell i tes and
the Haskellite sympathizers, now
calling themselves "Conserva
tives") "should asanme control,
"not only of the policy to be
pursued in "the approaching can
vass but of the "State itself." no
one has yet been able to explain
satisfactorily, not even the most
astute philosopher among the.
"peace and unity" scribes, though (
some have assayed the task.
But now comes hie last tell-tale
latter under consideration. Speak
ing of Tillman and his followers,"
Gen. Hamptnn says :
"I stand by and reiterate what Ii
said about Independents in our
State, and he must pardon me
when I say in perfect frankness }
that I regarded him as an In pend
ent when, he 'suggested' himself
as a gubernatorial canddiate in
the famous March Convention, and
I held then, as I do now, that he ]
and his followers there should \
have been ruled at once out of the ?
Democratic party. This however, ?j
was not done, and as the Demo
cratic Executive Committee unfor
tunately recognized him subse
quently, I stated that I should
vote for him. This I should have
done, but for a fortunate accident
which saved me from what I
should always have regarded as an
inevitable but unmitigated
calamity,"
So Gen. Hampton thought in
1890 as he thinks now-that Till
man "and his followers should
have been ruled out of the Domo-.
sratic party;" that Haskell was|_
?nd is a goad Democrat, and Till
man is an Independent, and the
rillm?nitee are "roughs."-Ex.
Then and Now.
In his letter from Charlottesville
Va, dated July 7th 1892. Gen.
Hampton speaking of his course in
;he last campaign when invited by
Chairman Irby to address the peo
ple after Tillman had been nomi
nated among other things, says:
"I refused to speak on the in
vitation of Irby, for ray experience
it Aiken, when the Tillman roughs
?owled me down? taught me that
lothing I could say would touch
he heart of my fellow citizens
mr influence their conduct, I con
ess it was with a deep sense of r
>ain and mortification that I
bund a Caroni ia audience refusing tr
oe even arespecful hearing. I de
i
^irrl-^rff?Trri
termined then-a determination
to which I have adhered-that ~
would not again obtrude on my fol
low citizens on any public ques
tion
Gen. Hampton characterizes
the friends of Reform as "Tillman
roughs"
Just after the Aiken meeting in
1890 the Memphis Commercial)
made the following publication :
"Senator Wade; Hamptom was j
seen by The Commercial correspon
dent to day and asked if the
printed reports as to the people of
South Carolina having offered]
him insults were true.
The Senator replied with a good j
deal of. emphasis that they were
the work of the fertile brain of |
sensational correspondents."
"No attempt was made to insult j
me, though there were a few men
who did not behave as they should
have done. The people of South
Carolina are made of different
material, and such an effort would j
have been resented."
From this is will be seen Gen.
Hampton did not regard himself
as being insulted in 1890 His
speaking of the Til Imam roughs"
must be an after thought-Medium
Rabbits-Foot Luck.
A correspondent of the New
York Sun had a conversation some
time ago with a negro who was the
happy owner of a priceless charm,
nothing less than a rabbit's foot.
But some reader wiil say rabbitr
are common enough. If a rabbit's
foot, will bring good luck, why
should any of us be nnfortunate?
One has only to hear the darkey
through, however, to discover that
the right kind of a rabbit's foot to j
make a slight change in the old
saying, doesn't grow on every
bush.
"Do I believe dat dis yere rabbit's j
fut brings me luck?" theoid darke
repeated, as he soflly br ushed his
chin with it. "Why sah, if it
hadn't 'a' bin fur dis fut dar's no
tellin' what might fa' happened to
me! Look at dat JuliusThmpkins
He 'lowed dat a rabbit's fut was
no good, au'whar is he now? Went j
?p to Louisville to work in a pork
house, an' died wid small-pox.''
?Yes?"
"An' look at de time I was on
dat coal barge at Mobile. Had dis'
yere fut haugin' to my neck ' by a
blue string,an' some of dem niggers
called me 'Hoodoo,' an' was gwine
to take it away from me an' feed
it to a dog. When bat barge struck
a snag an' went to de bottom, who
50t saved? Dis yere pusson, an'
nobody else. Four of 'em went I
right down like rocks, just like j
dey might hev expected."
.'Lucky for you."
"Yes, sah, an' how was it de time
de ghost of Peter Robbins come
scroonin' frew our neighborhood?
Pete, he was hung up at Greenville,
you know. I was right dar an' seed
it all, an' when he swung off I
kissed dis rabbit's fut fo' times.
Some of de folks laughed at me,
on1 rad]ed, me a fool-nigger. But
"Peter's ghost come .up
Langville an' scart everybody outer
his" shoes-eveabody but me.
Nobber knock?d on my doan one
single time, an' nobber left no
smelly of brimstone 'round my
cabbih. Could't do it, you know
Dis yera fut was pawin' him away
all de time."
"Will any rabbit's foot bring a
person luck?"
No, sah ! no, sah ! Dat's de reason
T would'nt sell dis one fur a mill
ion dollars in gole! De sarcum
stances has got to be right. You
has got to find your rabbit in de
full of de moon. De wind has got
to be from de east. Dat rabbit has
got to be;huntin'fur jimsonweed to
cure a cataract in his left eye. You
has got to creep up an' kill him
wid a stick dat a dead man has
carried, an' when yo? ar' (akin
jff de fut you has got to h'ar a'
?host cry out down in de cotton.
"Oh no, sah 1 Doan' you let none
Df d?se yere common niggers
lound yere sell you no common
rabbits' futs. Dey would't keep]
iekyarson de track till you got |
>ver to Decatur."

OBITUARY.
DR. HENRY MIDDLETON FOLK wa
born April 6.1872, and died Marc h 28
1892, age 64 years, ll months and 22
days . The subject of this notice wa
a native of Newberry District, gi Cy
bat in early life, after completing bis
medical course, he moved to the east
ern section of Edgefield county, where
his subsequent life was spent. On the
21st of January, 1861 he was married
to Julia Ann Long, who still survives
him. From this truly happy union
sprang five children,, three of whom
are still living-Mrs Dr. E. F. Strother, |
of Batesburg, and Messrs W. H. and i
E. H. Folk, two talented lawyers of thal
Edgefield bar. After practicing medi-5|
cine very succssfully for a few year?j
he abandoned to a great extent the
profession and devoted himself to the
calling more congenial to his taste-'
that of farming. In this sphere he was
emiuently successful, having acquired
considerable property. The distingush
ing trsaits of Dr. Folk's life were bis
frank, open hearted manner of address,
conservatism of opinion, thorough
business tact and his fervent zeal in
all he undertook. Especially was
this last trait most prominent when
he united with the Luther chapel
congregation. Leesville, S. C. five,
years befor his death. By his ardent
love, self sacrificing zeal and loyal'
devotion, he at once placed himself
among the most loyal members of the
church and was ere long elected an.
officer of the congregation. The
wisdom'of the choice was fnlly dis
played in his intelligent counsel]
prudent management, ' persistent
energy, and liberal support of the
church. He was also elected superin
tendent of the Sunday school. In (his.
Work his love constantly increased,
his eneragy never relaxed, his child
like search after religious knowledge
abounded more and more. Whenever
and wherever duty called he was ever
ready to respond, lt may trnly be;
said of him, "it was his meatr and:
drink to do his Farher's will." His.
last illness was of two weeks duration.'.
In the sore need of the church .we
prayed that (?od would\spare him.;:
God's wisdom decreed it otherwise.'
His remains were deposited in the.
cemetery at Batesburg, S. C., March
30th. We sadly miss him from his
aceustomed seat in the church, and
from the daily walks of ?life. We miss"
him, too, in. the kind expressions of
sympathy and encouragment which so:
often came from his lips. We feel that
his loss to the church, to his family,
and to the community ia- veay great.
With a heart chastened byt his sorrow
we ext?Mid out sympathy to the family
so sorely bereaved, and commend thuin i
to the comfort, love and protection of
our heavenly Father. To the sorrow
ing wife, who for forty years was-suV
premely happy in a husband's love and
loyalty our heart goes out in'tenderest i
sympathy, while we beseech our dear
Father in heaven to grant unto her di
vine grace in this bereavment. While:
we as a congregation and friends feel
chastened by our loss,- we trust thatr
our zeal and faithfulness will be aug
mented by the remembrance of the
noble qualities that adorned the Chris-:
tian life of our departed brother und
friend. Farewell! dear, departed,
one!
