pic of Governor Tillman's diguity. A young S
gentleman from Durlington, who attended <]
the convention of the Young Men's Chris- v

stopped ovor in Columbia on his return home. c
While in the city he chanced to meet with i
Governor Tillman, who took the occasion a
to interview him on the status of politics in
Darlington county.

nor aslo how matters stood the young man
told him that the town was unti-Tillman '
without doubt, while there was no certainty t
mat the county as a whole would go in his ,
favor. .

over there, but they couldn't do it if I hal 1
a leider there who was worth a d . j
Spartanburg and Darlington arc the only ,
counties of which I have any doubt, and if I
had leaders there who had any managmcnt 1
about them I would apprehend no dander. c

icy were ovorpowcred, the elder being
adly injured before tho brutes accomplished

were frightened, and ran rw*y from

ere captured end taken before the girls for

voit devclopmsn'a. before he died. Henry
rizzard confessed his crime and implicated
!ack Harper, but the girls wrre too excited
positively iden'ify Harper at the time,
o Grixzard's bidy was pinned a card read- ,
g : "Death to the man who cuts the boly i

Detective Morlou of the Louisville and

artcd to Knshvi le with ?ph Grizzard, !
>hn Grizza-d and Mack Harper. They ,
ere pursued by the mob and overtaken a I

ople from the domination of the ignorant, it
e alien, and the free biuter, he challenges (]
id receives the highest respect, the sincerest
teem, mo>-t unstinted gratitude, and s
arrocst admiration." <
Wade Hampton is one of the purest anl <

on for him and hla Stats the respect of the
hols nation. It is one of the greatest com- j
entar.es upon the history of the Palmetto |
ate that any body of white men could be
uod to defeat Hampton for the United ]
ates Senate. It was a demonstration dis- 1
editable to the people and astounding to
e whole country And yet during tho 1
rugg'e for liis seat Governor Hampton i
i}? no appeal for support, did not go near
eSfate'houte jo Gtdun}b|a, and behaved 1
ith such Ijigh digaity 'tl^at he became udder i
