THE LEDGER. Tliarlow S. Ca.r*ter, EDITOR AND MANAGER. SATURDAY AI'CUST 4, 1000. It) tho Southern Christian Advocate this week tho editor, Or John () Wilson, prints over his initials this pithy article: As Senator Tillman is trying to escape deserved censure and to tltllL'n (Hit Iltul /*?? |> /?AntH/??A * ???(?? V UJ'.Vll. wilt m (% t'UllliUf t'l he alone canned, it is well to remember and repeat to any who may forget: 1. That while nearly all the preachers of our State advocate prohibition, not one ol them had assailed Senator Tillman, publicly at least, previous to his attack on them at Bennettsville. 2. That he came voluntarily into the campaign and in his tirst speech ait Bennettsville asserted 1 There is an unholy ailliance between the preachers and barkeepers, led by Col lloyt." That he has not denied or recalled this insulting assertion, but acknowledging the language, has attempted to twist the plain meaning of his words into some- ; thing no hearer of common sense would understand of them. 4. That all protests by preach- ' ers. in sharn or soft words norninst i > ~D Senator Tillman's speech, have been occasioned hy their natural and necessary correction of his offensive charge against them. f>. That while now professing respect for preachers of the gospel, he continues his misstatements and misrepresentations, his efforts to put them in false positions and his disrespect in speech and act. 0. That this is not the first time he has manifested disrespect towards men specially honored hy the christian people of our State. Keep the facts before the people. Do not permit the case to lie clouded. Mold Senator Tillnn'l U:.. _ 1 _: _ IIJIWI null inn IUUBC IU lUU pilllll, unvarnished truth ! Finger l>y finger Hen Tillman is showing his hand, and the haek of it is toward Miles U McSwcenoy. The tendency of a'd his remarks about the enforcement of the dispensary law is distinctly against the governor, lie would ho for Patterson,"as the most servile of coattail-swingers, if Patterson were not such a weakling. Hut as he could not possibly ho elected he is tending toward Gary. Gary however, is pledged to local option between the dispensary and prohibition. !f Tillman supports him on that basis ho will go back on his own word and record ; and if Gary gets his support on a straight, dispensary basis ho in turn will go back on his word and record. So there is a quandary. I hi i depend on this: the dispensary vote will be concentrated on one can lid.ite if Tillman can manage it I?y either speeches or winks, and that candidate will own Tillman as his maker.?The Stale.

Judge Cage Refuses to Appoint a Receiver for tho Rank? Hope That the Hunk und till Both he Saved. Yorkville Special, July 30ih, to Charleston News and Courier. | The financial situation appears ; much brighter today than was inI dicated in nay dispatch of Satur-| (lay night. The information sent then came direct from the hank officials, but it has since developed that in their demoralization they exagerated tho situation. .Judge Gage was here today to hear petitions for tho appointment of a receiver for the hank. VV W Lewis, counsel for petitioners, presented a petition that was signed last Saturday by a majority | of the directors and some deposi- j tors. W B MoCnw, attoiney for the hank, presented another pet!-1 tion signed subsequently by the same directors ami numerous depositors; asking that tho directors be allowed to wind up the affairs without compensation. It is! (piite clear that tho Sutro Mill has . been earning a large protit on its j entire capital, and that it is still i capable of netting one thousand dollars a month, oven at present prices of yarn and cotton. With a little financiering it is easily pos sih'o to bring the mill out safe and it i? possible to stive the bunk. It is only a question of backbone and business ability on the one hand against the baby act on tho other, and it now looks as if the neees- 1 nary backbone and business ability is about to develop, i At any rate .Judge dago refused 5 to appoint a receiver at this time, and allowed the directors and 1 | stockholders of the bank 21 days I in which to work out their salvaI tion. As the situation now stands I | it appears that if ihe stockholders of the bank Ktnnil fii-ml.. /? lil Mil J tv> HiU rack they will save Mr McClain, of the Sutro Mill, whole, and their own bank stock also. Otherwise they are likely to get badly squeezed under the wreck of the mill. The situation appears clear enough to all aud it is only a ! question of the appearance of tho man for the emergency.

Reports from all parts of the State indicate that the amendment and the State ticket have a Democratic majority of more than forty thousand. The election passed off peaceably everywhere. In the eastern part of the Stato thousands of negroes stayed away from the polls, anil those that did vote in many cubes cast their ballots for Aycock. In one precinct in this county 20 per cent of the negroes voted for the amendment despite strong Republican pressure. j Even the most sanguine Demo crats are surprised by the landslide for white supremacy. At 11 o'clock tonight Democratic Chairman Simmons said : U1 think we have a safe majority of f>0,000 and at least fourfifths of the legislature. The returns so far are most satisfactory, and no surprises. IIOW'S Til IS ? I We offer One Hundred Dollars Howard for any case of ( u'arrh ihat (a?n1 not be cured by Hall's Catarrh Cure.

The Rock Hill District conference, in Kossion at Hickory Grove last week on Friday, adopted the following report of the committee on temperance: The M E Church, South, has ! always taken strong grounds on j the subject of temperance. Her [legislation on this subject is sufli oient and in full harmony with tho teaching# of God's word. If our member# respect and observe thi# legislation, drinking and drunkenness will be bunished from us, and our church will bo entirely free | from any responsibility in the ! liquor trnftic. Therefore, bo it resolved: I 1. That wo urgo all members to observe the legislation of tho | church as contained in chapter V of the Discipline, realizing that the church is tho "light of the world," and is not to consult. popular opinion in dealing with men and measures ; hut the plain teaching of God's word is to he her guide. 2 That recognizing that the liquor traffic in any form is an j enemy to tho church, home and [citizenship of the state, we record our relentless opposition to it. 3. That all right thinking men recognize that Christian men and women, and especially Christian ministers, should oppose this evil of the ages, wo will consistently do so in the future as we havo done in the past. By our record j wo are willing to stand. We cannot be driven from it by the baseless charges of an "unholy alliance with barkeepers." We are the true allies of this unconi promising declaration of God's word: "Woe unto him that giveth his neighbor drink, that pattest thy bottle to him, and makest him drunken also."
