I Strong Presentation of the Situation. I Reasons Whv Primary is Not Wise. The Antis Don't Want a Primary, that's Only a Bluff. Columbia Register. In view of the fact that numbers of anti-Tillman meetings, which have elected delegates to the convention which meets to-day, have adopted resolutions demanding a direct primary, a reporter for the Register sought an interview with Governor Tillman to hear what he had to say on that subject. The scribe began his probing with the question: Governor, what is your attitude and opinion in regard to a direct primary? He answered: "I am surprised that you should ask this question when the matter was fully discussed by me during the last campaign. I am nriA rvf the uioneers in the a<nta tion in advocacy of a State primary, and in 1S88, on two occasions, in both State conventions, I made speeches advocating the nomination of State officers by this method. In both conventions the matter was over whelmingly defeated and after careful analysis and study of the situation I so far modified my opinion as to advocate the plan, now in vogue, of electing delegates by a primary. The demand for a change was made in the March platform, 1890, which I wrote, and it was incorporated in the party constitution in September. The present hue and cry for a direct primary is a peice of political clap' ' _l_ i_ trap by wnicn my enemies see*; 10 place me in a false position. If it were earned out they would be the first to regret it and advocate a change. They don't want it. But I desire to say right here that individually I am willing and was in 1S90 to submit m}T candidacy to a direct vote of the white Democrats of the State. I have every reason to believe that my strength would be more clearly shown and I would have ar muiy emphatic eudDincun.^1 uxx^ovthat plan than I could under the existing one. The counties of Georgetown, Beaufort, Sumter, Richland and Fairfield, which are all debatable and which for the sake of argument I will say will go against me, would in that event be counterbalanced by the majority I expect to * 'it C* i_ T ? obtain in eitner opananuurg ux Greenville. The demand for the primary arose in the white section of the State and was designed break to up ring rule. It was never intended to take any advantage of the brave Democrats of the negro counties. "What caused you to modify your opinion and change from a direct primary to an election of delegates by primary? " ""Well the primary system looks to obtaining the popular voice by allowing the indivual voter to express his personal preference and the present system gives that. I am and always have been in favor of the people selecting their own rulers." The Governor here nut his hand in his breast pocket drew out a note book, and said: Here is a table which > have prepared for campaign purposes. This is my basket of "rock," he laughingly added, and I will chunk one into the enemy's camp before the campaign opens. It is a table giving the white and colored population with the dele gates in the State Convention oi fourteen counties and will show very clearlv what a disturbing factor in v O State politics a direct primary would be. Here is the table: White i Colored | '? Populat'n Populat'n s?-r 1890. ; 1890. c? = j _ \iT"5 Aikeu I 13.570 I 18.244 I ?

You per ceive at once that a direct primar i would utterly destroy the politi cal equilibrium of the State. I would do more. The Democrats ii the heavy negro counties who ar< now asked to adopt this system o nominating State officers will be ex peoted to control the colored vote ii their respective counties, and sent Democrats to the Legislature, al though they would never have i chance to obtain any of the Stab offices by reason of a small whiti vote. Is it either reason or just? " don't think so, and hence my changi ol opinion.' ''But, Governor, if one white mai in Berkeley has as much politca power in the State Convention ai five white men in Spartanburg wil not that breed dissatisfaction ?'' "At the first blush it appears t< be wrong, but we must take thing! as we find them. This same argu ment is the stock in trade of tin Foraker-Sherman wing of the Radi cal party, which demand that th< Southern electoral vote and repre sentation in Congress shall be basec on the votes cast, rather than th< population. They claim that on< white man in South Carolina ha; three times as much political powe: as a white man in Ohio or Kansas Now, if we, ignoring all preceden and law, recognize the justice o their argument in our party manage ment, how are we to expect that the; will stop agitating along that line and how would we answer thei orators in Congress and on th< stump? Representation in all politi eal bodies is based on the lega representation according to popula tion; where the conditions are so un equal and the equilibrium .that exis higj^peO-tryTi change. I cannoE Relieve that sucl change would add to the harmon; and unity of the party which seem so dear to these same patriots. I is a matter for the party to deter mine, and I am ready to submit i the verdict of the poeple." The brusque and lussy impulse c these days of false impression woul< rate down all as worthless becaus one is unworthy. As if there wer no motes in sunbeams! Or comet stars! Or cataracts in peacefu rivers! Because one remedy pre fesses to do what it never wa adapted to do, are all remedie worthless ? Because one doctor let his patient die, are all humbugs It requires a fine eye and a fine brain to discriminate-to draw th differential line.

Only a century a*o, while the sounds of toil in the New England States re-echoed far md wide, the etc* c* __xi. n i_* n .1 "?>unny douiu nveu armu suhuuijuings that combined tie luraries of the Orient with the ripest "culture of European civilization. The effects of climate and scenery were never more impressively illustrated than in the people of this region of the young Republic. In the settlement of South Carolina the grants of Charles II had not the power of attracting that the intolerant oppression had in driving the unconquerable spirits to a land from tyranical rule. Many of these early settlers were the out shoots of families whose escutcheons were emblazoned with valient deeds of historic ancestors. Not being hampered by the rigid code marked out by the Puritan fathers, their descendants developed into a chivalric people, characterized by frankness of speech, courtesy of manners and free hospitality which can be fcund here in this renowned old city 021 Winyah bay. Eloquence was a prominent attribute of their public men, and this section produced many who shed lustre upon the forum, the pulpit and in the national councils of our country. Approaching Georgetown from the sea, the voyager passes two islands know as North and South island. The lighthouse on North island was erected by the government in 1801, and just beyond it, rising above the surrounding country is a high sandy bluff, know as Lafayette Hill, the place where the hero first set foot on American soil in April 1777. Lafayette was received by Major Benjamin Hager, who tendered the first American hospitalities by entertaining him, DeKalb and ten other foreign officers. At that time there were ihany residences along the shores; of North island, especially at its nBthern extremity; but in gale of were, "by a sudde hurled with such im^^^HH against the island from tMRSBRhat the shifting sands gave^Bij^sweeping houses aDd inhabitants into the sea. Since the war South island has become a summer resort for the planters of the Santee and vicinity. In approaching the island from the main land the monotony of the level landscape is lost in luxuriant vegetation, dreamy atmosphere and beautiful vista of old ocean. The waters seem to pass through spacious avenues so densely are the banks edged with majestic cotton trees and giant cypress, often enterlacing their banks and forming grand aisles, adorned with flowering shrubs and budding flowers. Stop, stop, I must to tell you that here abounds the famous Palmetto tree that made Fort Moultrie the great guardian of our rights in 1776 and is now the emblem of our banner. The banner which I ?~.7 l never was umuneu uui< ?vuu uuuui tu its fold. Along the waters of Winyah bay may be mentioned wbat is known as Dover's Bluff which is the sight of the residence of Col. Peter Horry, famous among Marion's patriot's in the Revolution. A generation or two before the Revolution the Johnston's settled in Georgetown. Not many miles from here is Annandale, the estate of Mr. Win. Johnston, a name which, in quoting the few lines taken by Sir Walter Scott from an old ballard, gives a glimpse of their record as being lineal de scendants of the house of Annandale, Scotland: "Within the bounds of Annoudal, the gentle -Thonston's ride; They have been there a thousand years, a thousand more they'll bide." More anon. F. C. Caughman. The Poll Tax Delinquents. Comptroller General Ellerbe beinghandicapped in regard to all the large corporations, and his efforts in that direction being cut short by the courts, has turned his attention to carrying out the law governing the collection of overdue taxes. A few days ago his attention and that of the Auditor of Charleston -t ? i* a i r t r\i\r\ r\ -i was called to tne Act 01 ibuu-ujl requiring the names of delinquents to be published, etc., and asking what officials were to pay for such publication, as well as what steps were to be pursued in the collection of this class of taxes. The Treasurer of Charleston also wrote calling attention to the fact that there were about 2,000 delinquent polls on the list in that county, stating that it would take time to get up the lists, and asking for a construction of the law and alos for instructions as tc the mode of procedure in the collection of this class of taxes. This matter applies to the whole State, and it being so important the Attorney General was asked to construe the law in both cases. He has furnished his opinion, and holds that poll taxes against delinquents are enforcible by excutions or distress, as in the case of the collection of other taxes; but as the failure to pay is a misdemeanor by law, the County Treasurer many take cirminal proceedings against delinquents. As to the publication of the names of all taxable polls as required by the Act of 1891, he holds that the School Commissioner should do this and that the expense of said publication should be paid out of the county school fund. On the foregoing opinions the Comptroller has prepared and sent out to all the Treasurers in the State a circular instructing them to advertise all poll lists, as required by the new Act. This has never been done in this State, and it will undoubtedly have its effect. The Comptroller says that he is going to collect all ' " i polls or Know tne reason wiry. The Treasurers have also been instructed to issue executions against all polls where there is any amount of real or personal property assessed with them. In cases where there is no property they will be instructed to go before Trial Justices, make affidavits and have all delinquents, who refuse to pay arrested. That "Tired Feeling." The newspapers are having a good deal of fun nawadays over that "tired feeling,"' so much spoken of in medical advertisements, in connection with the ill-health of females. It may be a source of hilarity paragraphers, but not so to suffering women, who, by overwork, and a disregard of the laws of health, have lapsed into a condition bordering on invalidism.

How They Stand, on the Silver Question. On the consideration of the free silver bill in congress on 23rd. Mr. Brawley from this District opposed the bill, because the ratio fixed by markets of the world, as Jefferson and Hamilton both said it should be. This was, as Jefferson said it should be, a purely business question, and the ratio should be fixed by the ratio of relative prices of the two metals. We of the South have but one product to sell?cotton. The great part of it is exported and brings gold? money of international value. Why should we sell it for silver money of only local value? It would poison the source of prosperity if we depart from that standard, which has unvarying equivalence with the money of the world. Mr. Hemphill favored the measure. He was opposed to the present law, which authorized the purchase of $4,500,000, and thought the present bill was prefable to it. No nation on earth could hoard in its vaults the bullion from which the coinage of the world was made. He would move, at the proper time, two amendments?one to increase the amount of silver dollars to 525 grains, so as to make it equal in market value to the gold dollar: another authorizing the Secretary of the Treasury to increase or diminish the amount of bullion in the silver dollar to make it equal in value to the gold dobar. Mr. George Tillman remark the other day that he was sorry to see the stand that Brawley and Elliott are taking. They are against the free coinage bill, and in that respect they do not represent their constituents. "I am for free coinage and against Grover Cleveland. I was against his nomination in 1888, and predicted his defeat. Hill is the man to lead j the Democratic party. He is a true j leader, and has never been defeated, j He has given us New York State. ! and his services should be recognized. "The Bland bill will have thirty majority in the House, and will also i pass the Senate/ COL ORR'S MISTAKE. One of His Wild and Misleading Assertions Corrected. The Treasurer of Abbeville County Says that Col. Orr's Charge that Governor Tillman is Responsible for the Railroads Not Paying Their Tovoa ic AViHnlnfcelv Erroneous. J ? Editor Press and Banner: In the speech of Col. Orr delivered at Laurens on the 18th instant, occurs a statement which I desire to correct through your columns. In holding Gov. Tillman responsible for the non-payment of taxes bv the railroads, he uses the following language: "Some of you ask if he is respon sible for it. I say, yes. It was his duty as Governor to instruct th( treasurers when the railroads ten dered the county taxes to accept anc give a receipt Quo tanto, instead o: which he instructed them to refus< and today we are in the humiliating position of the State of South Caro lina going into courts to try to mak< the railrods pay taxes we refused t< take." So far as the above statement per tains to the Treasurer of Abbe villi county it is absolutely erroneous, ai the attorney who tendered the mono; and other witnesses will testify. Thi Governor neither instructed th Treasurer to refuse the money, no did the Treasurer refuse it, but oi s fered to take it, and give the railroai credit to that amount for the taxes i was due. We^an scarcely conceive how Go^ Tillman can be rcsonsible for the ac tion of the Treasurers in this matte] when the railroads put their schem into execution almost at the expira tion of the time for collecting taxes when the Treasurer's office wa crowded with tax payers, and whe: the limited time precluded any coj respondenee between the Governo and Treasurer, except by .vire.
