Y., of the Long Branch sec tion, was asked a day or two since why it was thar he had flopped from the Sheppard crowd to the Ben Tillman party. "Well," saya the Colonel, "thal was trier result of a little deliberate re flection on my part, and it came about this way : On dast Thursday evening J was plowing'the switch-tail filly in the new ground, (you know it was hot at h-1 that evening), and the filly wai a-frettin' and the sand flies were thiel and hungry, and, of course, I wasn't in no good humor myself. Well. ? got t< studying as I 'was plowing along, an< my plow bouncing over, a root or J black-jack stump ever continually, am says I to myself, what a dad-blaste< .fool I am to think of going agin m; brother farmers and neighbors an? their best friend honest Ben Tillmai and turning in favor of Sheppard, th corporation candidate, and the mer chants, and the little cigarette cit; dudes, all of whom are living upon tb sweat of our brows, and the last one o whom are this very minute sitting ii their cool, comfortable offices an stores sipping ice water and smokin, their cigars and cigarettes and ch ucl; ling to themselves : 'What blasted fool the farmers are,' while here I ai / sweating and fretting, and fumin and cussin', fighting flies and roo! and stumps and grass, and the dev knows what.

We notice a correspondent of the Columbia State of July I2th says that "the president of the Liberty Hill Democratic Club, Edgefield county, and all its members except two had renounced Tillman, and ?from now on will work"for the Con servative movement."

EDITOR: It is not ofte take part in politics, but allow just a short space: ' In a campaign meeting hel Abbeville, ?July 18, 1892, that appreciated paper, The State, g the following account: "There were about 800 pei present;. Hon W. C. Benet bf present was called upon as a 1 man supporter to address crowd. On calling for a hand mary it showed the Sheppard were in the majority, there be only 134 Tillmanite? present, WC. McGowan preevied. Benet did not attack the St pardites, but assailed the Pi and Banner and said it publie! falsehoods concerning, his spe there in the State campaign mi in g. At this assertion Mr. '. Gowan came forward and said endorsed what was said Dy Press and Banner. Mr. Be plainly-told <him if ho did he, dorsed. a falsehood and a lie. sooner had the Hon. Mr. Benet s this than McGowan resented it striding -Benet in the mouth w his fiBt. Benet's lip was cm si and blood was shed upon his si bosom. Men of both sides rusl in and prevented a riot." Fellow citizens, I ana a true-b American citizen, and feel prc of my country. In ancient til when Rome was. in the height her glory, her citizens when vii ing abroad were honored and spected, because they were c zens of the mighty and celebra Rome. We are citizens of a s greater country than Rome even her palmiest days, and yet inter troubles prevail as they did in tl ancient city, "which sat upon 1 seven hills and from her throne beauty ruled the world." The conduct of McGowan this occasion was reprehensil indeed almost criminal. But ble ed be Tillman's party ; I feel prc that they have taken all false cusations, and yet preserved peace to such a dregree that a c servative man was the first to si blood in the campaign of '92. 1 honor to W. C. Benet, who to-' stands as a living monument the fact that peace and .unity ' applied,to the Sheppardites ii ' misnomer, but a living verity wi * applied to the Tillman party. r Mr. Benet's blood is the firsl ' be spilled, standing, up for eqi ' rights to all, hut never fear, you ; 3 not alone. One call from j J would bring to your aid thousar of men who think as you thii and who would stand by your s: at the-peril of their lives, and; we would have peace on earth a r* good will to all men. If the so-called Conserv?t party had been attacked this \t by the Tillman party they wo\ a never have got over it. Just 1 cause the Sheppardites were in I '" majority they thought it somethi grand to make a display of th Y courage? It was cowardice in A Q Gowan to make such an aBsai when hiB party was in the majori ? I hope we will have peace duri s the remainder of the campaign.

C-" disingenuously attempt bring censure upon the conclue my office by calling attention tc execution issued against one V ley Etheredge, a negro, who fa: to pay taxes on twenty acres land owned by him. After having served the pul so long, I regret being called on the first time to explain any j of my official conduct under imputation of injustice done anyone, even a negro, While '. Hare seems to be very an xi om hunt justice for his friend, darkey, I believe it is unnecess for me to say to the people of Ed field county that it has been greatest effort to extend leniei aud justice to every taxpayer. Here is the whole matter ai appears on my tax duplicate. W the preparation and making out this duplicate, I have nothing do. So after submitting this I ; willing to let the people be t judges. I find Wesley Etherec charged with personal proper $20, and a poll. When the gent man referred to by Mr. Hare call to pay taxes for Wesley Etherec I collected taxes on property ready mentioned as charged agah Wesley Etheredge. .? On my duplicate also appei the name of Wash Ethered] charged with twenty acres of lai personal property $30, and a pc By reference to tax duplicate 1890 I found the same ont against Waah Etheredge and tas paid in his name. During the til for collecting taxes some one frc Caughmans called roy attention the entry against \Vash Ethered and said it should be Wes! Etheredge. Whereupon I mark? opposite the entry, Wesley Etht edge. Before executions we issued I wrote twice to Wesl? Etheredge at Caughmans, S. ( that taxes upon property alrea< mentioned were unpaid. After expiration of time for pa ing taxes, as was my duty, I issu? executions against Weslev Ethe edge for taxes on twenty acres land, $30 of personal property, ar a poll, as I found the entry on rr tax duplicate. What else could do after writing twice and taxes b ing unpaid? But the Sheriff c presentation of execution, aft finding out that. Wesley had pai taxes on personal property ai a poll, only collected taxes on tl land. Where is the injustice < hardship? Wesley Etheredge kn? ? -trhltir he owned the land, and mu have known that he had not pai . taxes on it. i Now, as regards the lette: i ^written by Wesley to me, one < < these letters was received at m office after the execution had bee : issued and in the hands of tl I Sheriff, No reply was made to th } letter because the matter was the : out of my hands. Now, I am willing to leave th matter to the public for just jud] ment. But, Mr. Hare, is it m I very evident to everybody that ye i were moved to write your artic i endeavoring to injure me, not * I much because voa were intereste t in the financial affairs of yot darky friend, but rather becaui ? you hoped to gain an advantaj for one of your white friends polit cally? Furthermore I do not b t lieve that your white friends a] ' proves of such tactics, j W. L. STEVENS. - "Troyites" Reply to "Wild-Ca e and Giants. r !~* ? MR. EDITOR : We did not expei ^ that the Wild Cats of Callisc y would not feel honored at the tit we gave them, as it is very suiti , ble, and as we know them to r semble them in many respect Wild Cats are all the time seekii the lwoest places, and woul rather be in the swamps of Cuffei tj town than among people. Th ?? was the reason we are so much su ' prised at another visit to Tro; ?g Oh ! how we sympathize with tl k innocent girls of Troy and knowir ? the timidity of the feminine gei i der, we beseach the Wild Cats u< \| to go &ny more. Wild Cats, do n< think the girls of Troy please ^e with your visit because they don express their feelings. There ai .? many unpleasant faults whic those ?ind of varmints are ?( dieted to, but the Troyites mui try and bear with them. Now, M ig .

We know it to be the most Offensive of any varmint, very much like that of a polecat. It seems that it has taken them some time to think them selves.'good looking; certainly everything to its kind, as the scrip tures-fl?y. There are many kinds of animals, also of varmints, there are co\ys, hogs, goats, horses, and dogs, and s wild varmints too nu merous to mention. Think for one moment how a wildcat could be good-looking that resembled a giant, it would be too much of a raw-boned nature to be good-look ing, v Mr. Editor, we leave the subject with you by saying, we do sincerely hope those pests will stay in their swamps, And'will not mar the place and harmony and the placid faces ? f those they think most beautiful of the Troy girls that are in.-'dread of them.

Governors Simpson and Jeter were not; elected, but succeeded their predecessors by constitution al provision, Both of them have gone to that "bourne from which no traveler returns."
