Govkrxor Tii.lman.? A Chronicle reporter 'j had (be pleasure of of carrying the news to ' Governor-elect Iteiy. It. Tillman, of South Carolina, lost night. F After casting his ballot in EJgeficId yeetor- g day he came over to Augusta t ? pay some _ guano notes in hank, and was found a', the Augusta Hotel last night. 7, A card sent up to room No '18 secured nn _ audience, and apologizing for the lateness of the hour, the reporter extended his congratulations to Governor Tillmau and told him pr that tho latest returns from 8011th Carolina only emphasized tho overwhelming victory 0. for the Tillman ticket which wns indicated by the early reports bnught no news of jq difficulties anywhere in the State, and indicated a peaceful and quiet election. t) Governor TiUman said he was not ^ all surprised at trWmall vote rcccived'j^^Ji^ l?, - U?rnn'lt 1'iTT nTaiTtlckJpBl^y was not surprised at the comfilete tiascoof ] tlio Haskell movement.

The few mistaken men who left the democratic foil in a tit of anger and disappointment, we thHk have learned u wbo'^some lesson that they will never forge', unl the rebuke they have received from tho solid democracy and the desertion of the priiuise I uegro voters, ns wel1, will have a snlu ary efleet hereafter upon any discontented faction of the party that may desert its ranks expecting to find friends and followcis among the enemies of their old party rsm The (rue democracy, however, ennnd. afford (o drive (huso erring brother* from its rank*.

At heart they are ns true democrats as ever breathe 1, and deserve to bo treated with cardial respect as such. Iu our opinion they have done more good than harm, in many respects. 1 1'pon >he Tillman government now rests the responsibility of giving to the people of I the State, what it has been charged they have not had, u democratic, pure just and economical government. If it fails to do so, ' the people will surely call them to a strict account. I.ct us hold up their hands and encourage them in their efforts to do good and honor the confidence thai so large ? majority of their fellow citizens have reposed in them. Let us try them before we condemn them.

While we always eousidcr it a very - del cite and dangerous matter to volunteer 0 advice to Farmers in the matter of holding or ttcldng their cotton, it is gratifying to know that this year the financial condition of - out Farmers is bo much better than for 1 years past, they are enabled to withhold an . important portion of the crop from market while prices arc depressed. This wo believe, ? is one of the beueliciol results of the Alliance org mi/at ion. The farmers wid very soon discover that it is not politics nor legislative relief enactments they want to extricate them from their dopresse l condition, hut organization, unity of action, helping each other, intelligence in cultivating and ninrkoiiog their crops and Imvine ihoir snnolics. will do move, in uhort?m?ttiiiv. to iffRKo ffieTtrpTo^pcrons an<T independent than any man ur men, or any logis -.! - - V I.

IMiile all around us are progressing in populntion, business enterprises and wealth, and taking ndvautngc of our apathy to belittle us and draw nil the business they can from us, our own people voluntarily play ioto llio hands of the ir enemies, by sending them the patronage that should be kept among theiu to encourage home labor, liome enterprise, home people, and iuvile others to "come over and help us." This is not a "dead town," unless the pconln lUlirmiiin In L.ll it 'n (tividillC into r,v --? cr f iction* ? c? Varhig nothing for (ho welfare of his neighbor, ami none willing (o make a sacrifice or risk a dollar for (lie general good. Net only that, (he town is injuring its refutation abroad, for strangers seeing the business men sending their work to bo done in other towns, will assuredly arrive at ono of two conclusions, f. e : either Union .is a very insignificant place, with no facilities for executing the most ordinary mechauical work, or her business men arc so indifferent to the success sad prosperity of the industrial enterprises of the town that they send their patronage auy and everywhere else. In cither cf the jibovc views, tho town receives a serious blow, a*id from its own people, alike discouraging to those who liavo any thought of coining among us nud those already here, who are struggling to earn an honest living and earnestly working to put nil .businesses on a solid hcoiu. There's too much of the Terrapin about tho people of this town for it to improve. When all is quiet and there is no danger of being called on to make a sacrifice for the public good, their heads are out the full length ; hut start a public enterprise, when most of them will scrutinize the sip rounding s ami if they cannot sec any benefit pointing directly to them, and on short time at tlint, they shake their heads and draw back into their shells, to cogitate, we suppose, upon the weight of evidence in the case of self vx lite public gcod. A few years ago ot umi was suoscnbed here for a Cotton Victory, but that was not considcrc 1 lig enough for Cuion. niul whtu it was proposed to petition the town council to subscribe $30,000 in bon is, such a howl went up agui ist it from eotne of the subscribers, who threatened to withdraw their iudividual subscriptions if they had to A T,p^- 1f ",c ,0wn; ' ^ftTdnf^frtih matter was dropped, and the people fctlback into their former lethargy. Had we gone earnestly to work then, with $100,000, the experience of other similar enterprises, then and now. proves that the remaining S ">0,000 wonhl have voluntari'y come to us, and at this time the Town Council and all the other stockholders would ' he receiving f-oni 10 to 1"> per cent, on their investment and the slock worth l">0. Besides lha', our population would have been largely increased, ami there is no tolling what other enterprises would have heen cstablishsd here. We hope the completion of the Augusta Division of the Three C's road will put new life into our people and induce them to do something for the advancement of the town before other local ilies along tlie line take the wind out of oui sails. Now, fellow-citizens, cannot we get to cilltl ptrsoYiaT'projudices, unite in doing something for tlie public good ; something that will put new life, new spirit and new hopes into the hearts of all classes nud conditions of the people? 1 Again we ?ay, this is not a dead town, but we cannot call it a very live town, and in a few short months, when the trains on the new road commence to pass through it, - the passengers will ctdl it a very sleepy, although a very pretty town?a kind of a dudisli place, handsome in outward appearance, hut sr.dly deficient in most of the essentials necessary to make it prosperous and attractive to business and business men of Capital and enterprise. ( ciitlcincn, it won't do to stand about your stores complaining that nobody will fight for the town, and your interest in particular, while you not only withhold "the einows of war" from those who are really trying to tight f r you, but are actually giving "aid and comfort" to those who care nothing for you and do nil in their power to cripple the I roirrcss of the town. Much individual must do .something, sacrifice something, for the gi>i>d of the whole; aud if we do 11 thing olse, we can stand logo her, the weak and the strong, the i icli an I the poor, united, each contributing all in his power to the prosperity of all. Who Wants a Home! Any person wishing to buy a good Home Place, so located that all the advantages of schools, churches and employment in town \ may l>o enjoyed, without being subject to town taxation, and at the same time secure n'l the advantages of the country, will have an opportunity to suit themselves next saleday, by purchasing one of the Fair Grounds lots which* wftPthen he offered for sal e. That property has been surveyed by Col. Jolm I.

There is a young lady, a member of our Union (represented through her paper) at litis Convention, who would he an honor to any State. Her father (a young man in the war) lost his arm. He married nml has a ' (?. ,.?-iiUiv.., mo girls neuig the oldest. His daughter, from the time she J could toddle, followed papa like a shadow, helping him in every way. She was on the wagon; in the cotton field, helping to piek and further on t> weigh, with a book always on hand. When she grew older, wishing to go to college, she proposed to her father to let her have charge of the engine and so save the money to pay her way through. The neighbors 1 tttghed at the idea, hut soon found their cotton was goincd no. where bettir tlnn by the young girl, who na<! a tareck or i.tim hook anviijs uamiy. At college slie took the studies of two years in one ttuil then graduated with first honcr, immediately having a professorship offered her, which she acceptod in older to help to educate her sisters. She is only 23 and there is a bright future awaiting her unless something unforeseen occurs. Are not such girls worthy of encouragement ? Give our girls a chance that they may keep abreast of the ngo. Mississippi has a model college, and Georgia proposes to have one ia tbo near future. Will booth Carolina hear unheeded the apcal for the girls of Carolina ?the future mothers of the State? bet us again ask the Legislature to establish an industrial school for our girls, and keep asking them.

My experience as a Judge has satisfied my mind that ordinarily a mau who will icll a lie when he is livi ig wi 1 tell a lie when he is dying. 1 have presided on the trial of probably fifty murder cases, and do not remember a single instance where a bad man told tlio plain, unvarnished truth in his dying-^p-? duration, but on the other hand I do remember instances where unprincipled men, in spite of the terrors of impending death, hell and the grave have told palpable lies in order to wreak vengeance through tlio law on their enemies. When jurors ceisefo pay ^ so much uttcution to the dying declarations 4 of batl men, it wi11 be bettor for the causo of justice; for there seems to be a kind cf superstitious reverence, tending t? persuade, that the la*t words of a dying mau must bo true.
