Hon. Geo. D. Tillman's Opinion of Gen. Gary. ? short ii me ago the Press and Banner published the remarks of Senator B. R. Tillma' made in the Constitutional Convention of 1895 in reference to the part'Q'en. M. W Gary took in the campaign of 18V6. Further light is thrown upon this question by the folio wing' quotati on from the speech of ?on. Geo. D. Tillman on taking the chair to pre side over the mass meeting held at Edgefield, S. C., on the 20th day of June 1881. shortly after the death ,of Gen. Gary: '"But what should preserve Gary's .memory fresh and i inmortal, in the hearts of our people, is what he did for the County and State in 1870 towards throwing efl: the miserable carpetbag tyranny that then tramp led us in the dust. ''Until several weeks after the election, and not until envy . and jealousy had had time to do their work, no one ever heard of Gary's ? right to the palm of being styled the Rupert of the campaiim called in question. "Gen. Butler s name was the only one, sometimes mentioned as being entitled, to divide the first honor with him;'and candor compels me to say, that, in my judgement, he was the only leader that deserved to be mentioned at all, in such a connection. ."'Gen. Hampton w|s. enthusias tically and justly praised -for the tact.-moderation and wisdom, with which he .managed affairs before and especially after the election but what color or pretext of title would or coiild Hampton and the other candidates for the State offices, have had to their places, but for the large and unexpected ma jority of .thirty-three hundred achieved by Edgetield. "Many other conspicuous leaders were deservedly extolled, for the part they bore, but "Gary's policy Gary's example, and above all Gary's astounding majority in "Edgetield, obtained by your .un flinching and enthusiastic support, < decided the contest i;n the State. ] "Ile had always contended, that a t straiphtor.t fight would win, and. ? ??S a result, Gary was followed, ? chsiilted, and obeyed, almost like ? second loiter the Hermit.

A prominent and-ivery attractive feature of the Pair on Friday was the . cotton parade, composed of thirty wagons loaded with 100 bale? of cotton from the farms of Hon. W. A. Strom. The procession was headed by a decorated wagon in which was seated the Limestone brass band of about twenty-pieces. Next came Mr. Strom in his buggy, to which was hitched a beautiful pair of home-raised colts, only three years old, each of which was cover ed with a blanket bearing this in scription, "The Boles Mountain Farm." Little Harry, Mr. Strom's oldest son, drove a little yellow mule to a small wagon, upon which was loaded a bale of cotton covered with white cotton goodi. Besides being loaded with two to four bales of cotton, each wagon had from two to five colored people upon it, representing the makers of the cot ton. The .cotton in the parade was worth something over $7,000 00, not including the value of the wag ons, teams and drivers. After driv ing around the public square and flown Main street, the Cotton Pa rade went over to the Fair grounds and made a circuit of the arena, to the delight of the hundreds of ?l>eclators. The sight of thirty teams and 100 bales of cotton with ?bout that number of negroes upon the wagons, was quite unusual and very-novel. Late in the afternoon the cotton was unloaded at the de pot for shipment to Mr. Strom'? factors in Augusta. School Bookit Wc have just received a full snp )ly of text books that arc used at .he 8. C.
