Notwithstanding the 1 summer dullness, every thing has a cheerful appearance, and the citizens 1 are full of enterprise and hope.

To the Editor of the Dispatch: From my youth up I have been . taught by a pious mother to respect ?to revere?the holy office of a minister of the gospel; and it is this early training and habit of thought I that act as a short check rein upon the old Adam just here preventing an immoderate use of strong, emphatic language, and constraining me to carefully weigh my words. If "a cobbler should stick to his last" and a fanner to his farm, (the inquiry is irresistible) should not a minister stick to the truth (to his calling) and not be led by the devil to endorse a lie that he (the devil) himself had forged in his own workshop within the skull of "a poor, misguided fool" of an editor? Dr. Stokes never said Union soldiers "should have added to their pension bills a gold premium pay roll." We deny it and call for the proof. Until this is done I forbear noticeing any personal allusions to myself. I pass on to the next slanderous "statement"?a wholesale slander. This: "I venture the statement that idleness, extravagance and mismanagement on the farm is the cause of whatever disadvantage financially attends the farmers today." Senator Yoorhees replied to a similar statement thus: "The hard handed, sun burnt millions who raise to their daily tasks while the morning star is yet in the sky, and toil for a subsistence till the evening star appears, are constantly lectured on the virtues of economy by the dwellers in palaces, by the inmates of gilded mansions, l?y the masters of liveried attendants, by the lords of millions, by all such as derive their incomes and their luxuries from the labor and the privation of others. The poor are exhorted to give up luxuries which they have not, in order that the rich may add to their already great abundance. Go to the houses of these who eat their bread in the sweat of their faces, and ascertain if you can the extravagances in which Lhey indulge. Do they maintain costly equipages, splendid carraiges and richly caparisoned horses? Are their aurnble dwellings adorned with valible paintings, or fitted up with expensive furniture? Do you see pier jla9s on their walls and feel velvet rarpets beneath your feet on their floors? Take a seat with them at heir frugal but hospitable tables. Do you find extravagance there? SVhere is the solid silverware, the ong succession of delicate dishes, he various brands of high priced vines? None of these things are 'ouiid to tempt the epicurean taste >f those who, while preaching econ>my to the industrial i^iTeach'day to banquet^suc^T^ Dives presided over while Lazarus ay at his gates begging bread." I could well afford to stop here, put there is one thing more "J. E." lays: "We are farmers," &c. (I disike to be personal, or to ask pointed questions.) Is "J. E." a farmer, and 10 "disadvantage financially attends" rim? Is he rich? And if not, why lot? Is it due to idleness, extravagance and mismanagement" or what? IVhy is cotton so cheap? "Overproduction" is the stereotyped answer, you know. Over production yy "idleness, extravagance and nrisnanagement?" Isn't that beautifully ogical and consistent? I conclude bat "J. E." favors Mr. Brawley for 1 - ? 11 ,_1 A 11 Jongress. 11 lie wm piease texi me .vhy, I will tell him why I favor Dr. Stokes. I challenge him to the ssur, Selwood, S. C. J. L. Shuler. Be Not Deceived. Fo the Editor of the Dispatch : "Will the people of Lexington ;ounty and South Carolina be careess and negligent and allow the government to be wrested from them md placed in the hands of those vho are spending all their talent and noney at their command in order to lefeat the will of the people? Is ?r ? re j ui such me case; 4.1 auj uuuui>, ici ;hem read the opposition papers and :hey cannot fail to see the situation. A powerful effort is being made to lefeat Tillman, and why? Is it bemuse Tillman has not made a good governor? Is it because he has proved a traitor to South Carolina? So. It is because he represents the ivill of the people. It is because he las the courage to defend the interest of the people. Let us weigh the 'acts in the case and see if these things are so. Over one-half of the iditorial comments of the opposition, .s fired directly at Tillman. He is always wrong; is always out of place md is unfit to be Governor of the State. And what are the facts? ire not the public official acts of rillman on record? Has he not opposed trusts and monopolies in the interest of the people? And when tie is so severely criticized for these things, it is plain that the will of the people is being criticized, thpugii Tillman is the target. The people are all right. Oh! the iear people's rights and interests! &kc could say aught against them? \Yc are &? people's friend! But Tillman we don't like. in the Srst place, has not enough sense iq be Governor. Yes; but we are lookng for a Governor who represents Jie people and not monopolies, and iucjh a man is Tillman, and therefore we are fed with soft corn in order to be chocked with the cob. Fellowcitizen, this is just the situation. Tillman is unmercifully blamed for his action in the -Coosaw matter and yet the highest court in our country has said that he was right. The Ooosaw was a big monopoly that wanted everything its own way so that the people would have to render obedience to its acts. When Tillman fights Coosaw he fights for the people, and when he is blamed for hoist- j ing this giant monopoly it is only j another way to try to keep down the people. Be not deceived. There are many ways to whip the old adversary around the stump. Again, Tillman is held out as a monster on account of his action in the Agricultural Hall matter. He is blamed for not receiving Blue Bidge Railroad Scrip in payment for the State 8 building, and tor rerusicg posession on tbose grounds. And jet, if Tillman had received this worthless stuff in payment, the people would have been called upon to redeem thousands of dollars worth of fraudulent bonds. Be not deceived; Tillman is being shot at in order that the people may be hit. Tillman is charged with injuring the State's credit. Here is another error. The opposition is sending out broadcast in the world that everything in South Carolina is wrong side up; that the Governor is op posed to all lawful enterprises, and by this means the State bonds are run down below par. The policy is to get rid of Tillman even if the State has to suffer. Friends, be not deceived; "All is not gold that glitters." It was said sometime ago that "light was just beginning to dawn in Lexington." Let us take that expression in a different sense to that which it was meant. Let us show a solid front that the light may shine in other sections where it has not yet even dawned. But is it not terrible that Tillman should presume to criticize one of our Judges! Wonder what will turn up next? Well, here is a little. The opposition is very much opposed to prohibition because it comes in conflict with the personal rights and liberties of the people. But then the highest court in our country has said that a State has a right to enforce prohibition. But, of course, prohibition does not suit, therefore it is condemned in the strongest terms. .But when .Ben Tillman attempts to criticize Judges he commits an unpardonable sin. uOh consistency, thou art a jewel!" Be not deceived. If Ben Tillman has no right to say aught against a Judge, then the people have no right. Under such a course about the only righ^efLthe people is to meekly few aristocrats. ibaidJiey-. may get the power in the hands of a few at the expense of the many. T ??

Committee of Lexington county J met on the 11th., and called to order > by Chairman Crosson. The Clerk called the roll and it was ascertained that there was present a quorum. A resolution was passed authorizing the Clerk to arrange printed instructions for the managers at the primary election: also to have printed four (4,000) thousand blank tickets as prescribed by the State Constitution. A petition was handed in by the Committeeman of the Conservatives of this county, S. P. Wingard. asking to have appointed two of their managers at each precinct. Mr. Sharpe moved to give them one as Tillman and Sheppard had agreed to a division. This motion was agreed to. Col. A.
