EDITOR: In last week's Vhronlde, Mr. Bacon says: '.We know, literally, of no class of men who have been so wronged by Till nianism as the quiet, Conservative citi zens of towns and villages. And not content with hatred and malice and abuse towards the?e Conservative citi izens eif towns and villages, it seems Mint Tillinanism is rapidly going from had to worse." Now. if this hatred by the T ?11 manit.es for ti e conservatives is so -and I know it is not the case to any CMi si lera ble extent it might possibly have been brought about, not through tb? teachings of Till man, but by tho eternal, perpetual, hateful abuse and ridicule toe con servative papers, tor the las?, four years have daily and weekly heap ed upon the Reformers,orTillman ites, as Mr. Bacon prefers to call those not belonging to the conser vative faction. For instance, here is a mild specimen from the pen of the would-be-esteemed mild-man nered, lamb-like high-toned gentle man, Editor Bacon, as published in his paper of the 22ud May bast : HA! HA! HA! HA! HA! ".Since Judge Golf's very righteous decision as regards the registration law of South Carolina has brought vulgar tyrants to their senses and brutal bul lies to their knees, what are the so-call ed Democratic Executive Committee of ICdgetield going to do about their pri mary on the 16th July? With their ability gone to basely turn the regis tration laws against their own while brethren, what are the Tilimaruts go ing to do anyway? Gentlemen, the Conservatives cannot be expected to take too much on faith. They know the parties they are dealing with too well ; and unless a perfectly fair con tract is proposed, then, let come what may, the Conservatives will control the Constitutional Convention, and the Tillmanites will know what it is to be in a helpless minority." Actually shouting hozanuahs at the overthrow of the Registration law-our only protection against negro rule ami negro domination. Bul fiiend Bacon was a little loo previous in his glorification. And the Registration law is still the law of the land, and only those negroes who are duly enrolled and have their registration certificates will be entitled to vote at the election of delegates to the constitutional convention. The above, as stated, is only a mild specimen of the rough abuse and vinification Mr. Bacon has poured out through his paper, for The One O of farming-gradually exhausts the la high percentage of Potash is used k\w larger bank account can only then b< lim Write for our ' ' Farmers' Guide, M is brim full of useful information for m will make and save you money.

So let him go on with his mud-slinging to the gratification of his own sweet will -but he will very likely gather what he sows. HA-HA! HA-HA! HA! Will the Conservatives Vole at the Primary? That's what we want to know, Mr. Editor, and if you can give us any in'ormation on that line we will thank you to do 60. We notice that the two conserv ative county organs-the Edgeiield "Chronicle" and the EdgeHeld ''Monitor"-both advise the con servatives not. to havfi anything to do with the appteaching Primary election for the nomination of can didates for election to the consti tutional convention. And Capt, George Lake, a prominent conserv ative, in a recent communication to the "State" says: ''The Con servatives here will not go into a primary, and the Conservative, so called, who will consent lo be a candidate before the primary had just as well join in with the enemy and be done with if. Everything has its ending and so will the Till man craze in this Stale." Of course we Reformers will vote at the Primary and obligate our seves *o abide the result, as weal ways do. And iurlher, many of us expect lo vote for two conservative candidates, if the Conservatives will go to the polls with us and help elect the licker. But for them to shout "hands off" and fold their anns, and stand aloof, and refuse to pledge themselves to abide the primary, is quite another thing. And for them,under ibis condition of affairs, to expect the Reformers alone lo vote for and elect two Co n se rva t i ves on their ticket, would seem somewhat cheeky, to say the least. But will the Conservatives vote at (he Primary? That's what wi.1 want to know. REFORM VOTER. HOT AND HEAVY. S?ni ph rouie us Shells the Woods for George Johnson. ."To George Johnston li. WI. E. It. (Burn up iny everlasting round about:") LtAiiKST GKOIU?IK : Your most lov ing letter ol' some time since was read with amusement (a fool always amus es me). You assumed the style of a nigger, which was best suited to your mental complexion; perhaps by eating and consorting with cullud bredren and sistern as long as you have, you have gained that control over their idiom which lits you for being what you most earnestly crave, to be, a nig ger '*to the manor born," to which end 1 give you a fervent God speed. You fear that my supply of powder is scant and so il is. But it doesn't take much to blow out such a light wad a> yourself, and then Tom Adams will furnish me more when mine runs out. As you say, I sometimes aim at noth ing, and 1 weep that 1 can see nothing to draw a bead on now; you are too sicall even to be seen through a mi croscope which magnilles ten thou sand diameters. You are afraid I have been straining my gun with overload; I have, but 1 had to do it because I was shooting at big dogs, but i rest it when I shool at such lice as you are. Dearest Georgie, you are fearful that my little engagement with Mr. John Boper gave me (he bighead. You seem to forget that I waited nearly three months before writing again and in that time the bighead wore oil'. You say a little education is a dan gerous thing; Bill Arp says you are a liar, a little education is a good thing. You should by all means get a little, if for nothing else than to lind out what a gallant .Jackass you are, and then Col. T)ar?ran might employ you to black his boots and be a breastwork to him when a volley of decayed eggs threatens his person. George, some of my friends tells me you are a nigger. If you are not a black nigger, you are certainly a white nigger. If you are a black nigger, 1 conclude that some old Bani about the Court ll ti uso ia nggiitgyoti ou. 1 sim ply wish to tell you that they have sei you on a Ben Tillman ram, who will run through your infernal carcass be fore you know it. As to what my issue is, I.wouid say that a nigger (black or white) hastio business with politics. Such men as Mart Gary and Tom Whittle and oth er heroes of 70, taught you this lesson with guns, pistols, hickory clubs etc. Col. Dargau's treatment a lew days ago ought to revive these fond(?) memo ries. 1 had rather fall into (he halals of "woman sqtuzitly bea uti fur1 than to come in nose range of such a squizitly scurvy scoundrel as thou art.

I know negroes for whose abil ity I have respect, but they attend to their own business and give no heed to seditious' white scoundrels and live right.

EDITOR : It is a custom of mine in the school room, when I call upon my pupils for recitations, if they begin with, "The boy stood on the burning deck,"' then and there I take my hickory to them. Pitts reply to the illtimed reflec tions of Walpole is an older chest nut and he, Semphronicus, de serves 'i flagellation with words, for its use. But we suppose he bad nothing better and in his despera tion to break the force of argu ment he must resort to ridicule; but no sensible reader will be led away by such diatribes. Semphron icus reminds me4>f another youth, Icarug, who, when his father had their wings, secured upon each with wax charged him to keep up on a line with him in their flight from Crete; if he should go too near the sun the wax would melt ami.he would be hurled to destruc tion. Now, Isarus was as egotist ical as Semphronicus. He thought lie knew more than Iiis father and he departed fr un the lines upon which his father flew, the wax up on his winga was melted and the hapless youth met a watery grave beneath the ?carion sea. Beware, Semphronicus, of the fate of Ica rus. Why I believe this presump tuous youth would essay to drive the chariot of the sun-would dis regard the directions of Apollo, would set the universe on lire and destroy the whole realm of nature. Semphronicus in his straits is calling upon his friend Crouch by flattering him, to come to his aid. Now I believe that Mr. Crouch is too sensiblero be led by flattery into any such discussion as Sem phronicus desires, vilification. He can say as many line things about his friend as he desires, but 1 am sure Mr. Crouch is toogood a critic not to be able to decide who has the argument and who has not in the discussion. No posit ion I have taken on the school system,, has been successfully assailed. All persons in their right mind, and outside the asylum know that all de nomiuatioual colleges and schools are built and sustained to build up their /respective churches. The very names indicate that thpy are sects and if they are sects they are sectarian. The mere fact that, a minister who '-uigages in secular pursuits, argues that he is in it for the money; and he has not enough faith in his God's promises to be a teacher of any body else. We thought when the Advertiser was patting Semphronicus on the back that bc would ruin him and lo! he has caused him to burst with vanity. Mr. Crouch learned one thing at school that Semphron icus failed to learn and thut is courtesy and we advise Semphron icus to go back to school and learn that one thing, for we assure him that he needs it very much. One of the main reasons that we attacked sectarianism in schools was the editorial in the Cotton Plant advocating the election of a Baptist as president of the Rock Hill school was on account of sec tarianism in the schools, and we hope that the Advertiser will pub lish it and we will be sustained in our position. We entered into the discussion that good might evolve out of it to the school system and for no other purpose. But unfort unately some vain young men to show off their learning, wit and sarcasm have diverted the discus sion into other channels, all from no fault of mine. if he was as well versed in his tory as he pretends he would know that the French revolution broke more chains of slavery than any ot her event which ever occur red upon tho continent and more impetus to a progressive civiliza tion. The catholic church was re sponsible for the dark ages, and had it not been for Luther or some man like him. it would still be the dark ages. In conclusion we have this to sa)', we are willing to discuss any live question in ii gen tlemanly way, but if the Advertiser is to be the medium of mud 'fling ing, we would rather wash our bands of it. We can assure Sem phronicus we can say just as saucy; things as he or any of his friends and if it is his purpose to degrade the discussion to that level why I am in for all the summer. So "lay on McDuff and d-d be he who first cries hoi 1 enough." PEDAGOGUE Prompt and Generous. Mr. li li Evans. Manager of the Union Mutual Life Insurance Com pany, of Portland, Maine, has received the fol lowing letters : [Copy.] TRENTON, S. C., J une lath, 1S!)5. Mr. Barnard B.
