HAMPTON IlTrS HIM HARD

Chvri.ottksyiixb, V*., Jul/ 7, 1892.
To the Klitur of The State?>1/ D?ar
Sir: lu /our paper i;.viug the account of the
meeting in I Vumbia on the 4<h ins'., 1 find
the following reference to nt/self by Governor
Tillman, and 1 beg you to allow me
pace enough in your columns te show how
abaolir-el/ false ere the statements made by
this tuan. who never hesitites to retort t>
falsehood* when speaking of political opponents,
or to | rom<>te Irs own selfish personal
ends. 1 shall tako his statements in the
order they were made, and I shall convict
him of falsehood in regard to the first out
of hie own mouth.
"AI A i k n two years ngo I laid Hampton
ought to be in Ilia Unit id States Sena'u
forever. and ih*t 1 ma* willing fur liiui to

in the Senate ! Vet be now give.*
>h?l ?e one reason why he subsequently opj.o?el
my re r ecti in.
Now. as to the facta i i rafaier.cato my tefusel
to tide to the meeting in the carriage
with Uiiu ; 1 wis tbe gnait of one of tbe
iiivmb-rs of tbe executive, wbo bid invite t
me to ride with liim. and hie invi atim bal
been accepted, as 1 courteous y informed
Mr. Tillman when be asked me to drive
with liim; and, besides this, i have yet to
learn that the new regime now pre?a ling
in South Carolina forbids a gentleman to
choose his own associates ?r companions.
The Coventor proceeds to say, "But lie
had no bus'ties* to interfere in this family
quaricl." It seems to nie that ovcy patri
otic citizen of our Suite was called oa to
deplore and to deprecate aay i|U*r.el amoiigsi
brethren whose on y noju I r tho
welfare of the State depends on concert
of action and unity of feeling. But waiving
this v|<nmt<in, t niKri, nithout tamo /
contradiction, ilint at the rn-eting in Columhin
not one seutence, not otio worJ, in tho
remarks l there made warrant* the assertion
tliHt I lojk j'Hit in ibe unhappy ' family
quarrel" which has brought. auch disaster

ohi constituents of lliohluul t> | lead fur
pence and harmony I rxprc*s?d no ptcfei*
nee fi r ar.y candidate. no d sapproval of
any, and I appeal to tho report of my s|eech
mi i hat occasion, as ptiblistioto gubsian
tiate my assertion and to prove the fa'sily
of tbeehurgo made by tioveriinr Tillman.
"lie compared 1 il mnn utid his fiend* to
Mubone. ' i* the nest count iu tho indictment
made ngainst me by the tinventor. I
did nothing of the sort. 1 warned our people.

to Ilia terriblo consequeneo* which htd
btfilleii Virginia by the qutrrcl in the Democrat
cranks, brought about by the un!
crapulous conduct of Mehonc. So much
for tint charge of the Governor, which, like
so uiany of hie on other occasion*, prove* to
tie utterly falae.
' 1 will tell you," proceeds the Governor,
"where he now i*. lie is in retirement,
where he belongs and where he ought to l>e.
Hampton ba<l taught us that au Independent
wee worse than a Radical. That depended
whether the lndepettdent was hie friend or
not. If Hampton had simp'y tail that an
Independent was slid worse than a Radical
and that he stood to what he said, ho would
be iu the roiled State* Senate to-day." 1
beg to assure his "Kxcellency" that 1 stand
by and reiterate what 1 said about Independent*
iu our State, and lie must parden me
when 1 say in perfect frankness that 1 regarded
him as an Independent when ho
"suggested" himself as a gubernatorial candidate
in the famous March convention, and
I held then, as 1 do now, that lio, ^nd^Jiis
followers there should have beeo-htr %(

,v, . 'faarerl ma from what I should always have
. ' retarded as su inevitable but unmitigated
calamity
1 cafussd to speak on the invitation of
Irliy. for my experience at Aiktu, when the
Tillman roughs howled bo down, taught mlthat
nothing 1 could say would touch tho
hearts of my fellow citizens, nor influence
their conduct. 1 confess it was with a dssp
sense of pain and mortification that I found
a Carolina audience refusing me, even a
respectable hearing. 1 determined then?a
determination to wbieli 1 have adherod?
that I would not ngsin obtrude my advice
on niv fcliow-oitizeas on any publio question.
I am only a private citizen, nskiog nothing
from my State snve a last resting place
by tho s-ds of my kindred.
I am "in retirement where I belong, and
wlitre 1 ought to be," if the vevdict of the
majority of the Legislature is endorsed bv
(lit psople of ilio Siat*. I haso mad* uo
complaint a* to thst verdic', hut 1 nun re
tU* Gosernor that I prefer to t>* in retirement
rnlhor than to hold office by tlie disreputable
and disgraceful methods resorted
to by him to obtain it.
It may seem strange that 1 should ootice
anything emanating from the siouroe of these
misrepresentations. but
"Fate neror wounds more dcop the generous
boart,
Than when a blackguard poin's the dart."
1 hope that those papers in the State
which still have tee fairness to do justice
even to u political opponent will give as
wide a circulation to my dtnial of the
slanders utterod by the GeTernor ns was
gisen to them, and I am, very respectfully,

the family quarrel'' that was' tk^i^goUvpi^di^V
in that oampnign. We now ask what busi.
nest baa Senator Irby tearing hia duties at

witb the present "family quarrel ?"
If Hampton had no business in the quarrel
of 1800, *e can't see what business
Irby baa in the quarrel of 1892.
As we have raid before, the constitution
of the democratic party should be so changed
that no candidate for publio office, and no 1
person holding any publio office, should be a 1
member of ei'her the Stato or County Executive
committee.
I#* It ia generally predicted that much
aickaaaa will follow the reiny season we
have had thie Spring. Ae a precaution and
potent preventive, we call on every bouse
keeper and business parson in the town to j
havo ihe premises around their dwellings
an 1 places of business thoroughly cleansed j
and liino freely sprinkled on &U damp
places whore stagnant water settles, in gar- ^
den houses and around kitchens.
Union is no doubt the healthiest town in ,
the State, but we can cause sickoeis ameng
us by neglect of proper precautions and making
the air impure from filth and decaying
egetation 011 any part within the corporals (

Ex.Gov sheppard HowUd Down.
Iu tho rep rU of the proceedings of Ike
campaign nucting at Orangeburg, we find
Ibe following, and ask every fair-ooinded
man who blieves in the right of free speech
and equal justice to all, if it is not time to
s op whoopimj men into office, and let reason
ami oommou decency govern the uclioti of
the people when candidates for publio office
appear before them to discuss pub ic affairs :
Ex-Geveraer Sheppard wee then introduced,
and he walked to Ike front to begin
his speech. This was at fourteen minutes
to 1 o'clock. Immediately the most disgraceful
howling wae intugurnted, and Governor
Sheppard triad in vain to make himself
heard. The howling continued and,
realising the helplessness of the task, he
at'iod waiting for tha mob to cool down. Tba
disturbance continuad unabated and some of
the Ti Imaoites on lift s'aid characterized
the so iou of their brethren ae disgraceful
and such aa ought not to be allowed.
In addition to tho howling, many doriaivo
remarks were iudulged in; and froquont d scourteous
ttllusious wore mado to Governor
Sheppard. Some one went so far as to sing I
out: Drag him off tba stand.
County Chairman Bowman vainly appealed
t> the crowd which grew more boisterous
than ever. Even tbe appeal of Presidaul E.
K. Walter of the Alliance fell on deaf ears.
Mr. Walter begged them in behtWf of the
rupuimun 01 i/rangeourg county to behave
tlieimelros and bear Goveroor Slieppard It
was in vin. They shouted for Tillman and
yolled and howlel continuously for seventeen
niit.ules.
Governor Shcpperd finally took his seat,
und Gen. F?rley ciuie to the front to speak,
hut Col- D bble objected to this, on the ground
that if anybody was entitled to speak Governor
Sheppard was, and as be had been
howled dowo, it was Dot fair ih*t an opponent
should bo allowed to apeak.
The point was conceded an I the meeting
was adjourned.

Editor.?The Court has just closed,
and the pre-idiug Judge, Hon. James Aldrich,
by his prompt, courteous and business
like ways during the titling of the court has
made himself very popular.
During this term ef curt our effioient
Grand Jury made a presentment, part of
which created much sutprise and comment.
Atlho last term it compliiueute I the county
commisdouTa very highly, but at the
present term they presented quite a number
of doubtful transnotions aud oiq|esione by
the oommiss oners, ruunlng baok some years,
of which the Grand Jury greatly disapprered.
Among the charges made against the
county ootnmissioneis are that they hare
sold the nio>t taluable portion of the poor
house land under its propsr value.
They also clurje bad management of the
poor house affa're genoralljr, and say that
tho superintendent of tha poor house has
baau a gainer by iha management. In a
word, they charge that the whale affair haa
becu run in tho iuterest of tho obairnian of
the Board of County Couiiu'ssioners an I hie
brother, who is ?uperintendent of tho poor
house.
1 was in tbe courtroom wban tha presentment
wus toad, and being curious to
know what tha commissioners would say
about it, I called at their office to interview
them, as tho newspaper men say. I
found them working away quietly, with
their efficient cleik, Mr. Cha?. Bol*, at his
post.
In snswer to n question propounded to
thorn as to what they had to say about the
presentment of the giadjury, Messrs. J. A.
Chambers and 1 M. Mobley auawered first,
saying in suhe'ance, that they had become
members of the Board only rsosntly, the former
at tho beginning of this term, and the
latter sometime later, and consequently
neither one know anything of the matter
charged against tho board, except from
hearsay.
The poor house land transaction, they aa:d,
took plaea before they oame in o office, but
they understood that the whole matter had
been settled under proceedings in Ciurt
before Judge Wallace.
I asked fhem concerning the ill treatment
of one of the inmates of the poor-boust,
charged against them in the presentment.
They replied that according to their inf rma(inn
h* Ka?l ?a? ?*-? ? 1 -* "

ou on* occasion sioco tl,ey cms* into offio*
lie baoanta unmanageable and naaaulted the
Superintendent, and lh? superintendent was
compelled (o usubim prettj roughly to save
his own life. Ibey aaid further thai this
earn* person, a Mr. Giles, was, according to
their information, a very unruly and dangerous
parson, and had on several oocasions
assaulted tho other inmates of the poor
house, beforo he could be restrained; that he
had been there from boyhood, and although
an idiqt, they felt boupd to keep him and.
do the best they could with hint, and bad
alnayj rscotnmend?<l that be treated Justas
leniently as possible.
To tho charge about a cow purchased for
$40, and afterward* sold for $20, thoy replied
that tho transaction was before their time
and that they knew nothing of it, except
that the money the cow was sold for was
accounted for on their books, which are
open to public inspection.
They denied thai there waa a -'scheme on
foot" to sell the poor house property. They
tied the land surveyed, but it was for the
purpose of settling a long disputed line, and
net with any intention of disposing of tits
propsrty.
Mr. Wm. M. Gallmsn, who is chairman of
the present board, end also was a member
of (he preoeding hoard, was present, and
confirmed what was said by .Messrs. Mohley
and chambers aoout matters whioh took
place before their time. He denied emphatically
thnt ho terras of the sale of the
land mentioned in the presentment had not
besn complied with, and said the whole
matter was on the books, and open to public
Mr. Gsllman said when the cow was sold
to the poor house site was a very fine oow,
hut after awLiie went dry, and after every
effort to make her further useful fai'ed, she
was sold for beef, and the nieney turned
over to the county.
In referonc* to the mules, Mr. Gullmati
said |hat he had borrowed them two 01- three
times, but had amply repaid the county
milk i ksa seas* ? " *- ; *

Mr, Oalluinn also stoutly denied the
charge in reference to the ilaath of tha two
paupers. Ha says ha personally attendad

indeed. Upland corn is very goad, and it is

On the 4<h day of Juni 1892, the death
Angel came to our home and carried away
with him the sweet spirit of our dear little
'-Willie Cain" and left our home filled with
sadness. Since then the days have been
filled with ho meny memories. Where'er we
look there is to be seen some reminder of
him who so often looked for us, but for
whom we now look, but tied net. A na l in
the floor, a scratch on the wall, aa euipiy
crib, an ills spoon,* pla'e and waiter, a
secant chair at the table; yonder is his little
hat. wbils hsro is his lulls pioture on the
wall, a familiar footstep and sweet tinging
soice are heard no more. The children so <
oftso speak ef their lose for him, and quote
his littls sayings. At the family alter the i
mind will flash back and eall up one who so |
oftsn sat pa'ienCy upon father's knee, an i i
lietaned to ihe reading of God'a word. Who
always knseled at father's chair with fathers i
hand resting upon hie head, but for whom I
ws need now offer no prayer, who Deedeth I
not our prayers. God losed him bettor thnn
we, Ac took him and we are left to mourn. i
When God gave him to us. Not. 6th, 1889, !
he was perfect in hit little form, under the I
blessings of Gud he know no s ckness, but <
he developed in our eyes, more and more i
beautiful every day. H s was su affoctlon- i
ate disposition, sustained by one of the
strongest will powers over manifested iu one 1
so young. Tbsrs was a magnetism about
him which attracted ths attention of all
love:s of ohildrtn, and that made him so i
dear, so sweet to us. lis kusw no ('rangers
but met nil who came to sur horns with a I
marks 1 degree cf kindness. As several
have said, he was a little man in his ways.

rofusiug to lake anything tendered him. Hie
humble trust ia those who were anxious for <
his relief, taught us all the way in which I
we should ever lojk up unto llim who knows i
what is bart for us. The last ten hours of I
his life was ouo scene of bitter suffering. ,
His little frame was jerked and drawn by
one epasna after another. Oh! how gladly |
wou'd, we have dono something, anything
for his relief, but the hands of loving ones
wore tied. How plainly were all who stood
by taught the lesson of man's inability to do
even when he would, and pointed up to that '
Uod from whom all help must come. T^ut
our darliog boy is uo tnore, rye cannot, if we <
.would, call hiss bauk again; our borne is so
lonely, our hearts so pained as we realize <
how hard it is to be without him. We submit
to that whioh ws cinnot change; we do
uolmurmer nor complain at our Father's
work. Wo humbly ssy : "Thy will be
done." In our deep sorrow we know thut <

what his portion would have besn hers. New t
we know lylier# he is?in heaven? we know j
what his poftio.n is?joy eternal. We shall c
always remember him as the sweat, bright i

A Ketghber's Tribute to a Christian Lady.
MRS. O. H. VAUGHN.
\Te are oalled on this week to chroniolo'
the death of oue of Riverside's brightest
jewels. It is, iadeed, a vory sad death to
many.
Mrs. C. II. Vaughn, nee Miss C. II.
Hughes, departed ibis life on the 8d iust.
On the loth of Ootober 1890, Miss Hughe*
wns happily united in the holy bonds of
weilloek to Mr E. F. Vaughn. Their houie
had been a paradise, indeed. Not ouo wave
of troub'e intervened to mar the pleasures
of this peaoeful, quiet home.
Ou the ltiih ult., a new light was a ided
to their household ?a gem of beauty?to
give new life to the silent hours as they
sped on their fleeting wings. Rut an ailwise
God, in His mysterious providence, has
seen fit to call the Mother to her home in
thai "house not made with hands, eternal in
the heavens."
The sorrowing and stricken family have*
the sweet assurance that the departed oue
is at rest, for she had boen a faithful member
of the M. K. Church for 18 years, an
earnest worker in the Sunday sihool, and
ever ready to give of her means, i er timo
and her talents to the work of her Master.
The iuilucnce of her Godly example will
bs fe'.t and apprec:?ted by a host of friends.
The mortal remains were laid to rest at
Wesley Chapel Church on lite 4th inst. A
congregation of sorrowing friends and relatives
were in ntlendanco to pny their last
tribute of respest. Tito funeral services
were conductc 1 by lleve. W. llr .Miller and
M. II. Kelly.
Bro. Kelly having been -very intimately
fisiooialod with the family for soiuo years,
wa? oh'e to sptnk knowingly of tho high
christian chancier of llio departed ; her
Solly walk, her unselfish devotion to tho
cause of religion, her goal au(' devoted to
the cliaroh and Sunday school.

Mi, that tliero ie a possibility of erecting a

tave been negligent to a large degree to the jl

iould perform no better act than to
ireot a tasting monument over the grave cf
lobert Macbeth. For ninety yours he lived
,nd moved amoug the people of tlie good
Id county and for over fifty years he was a
iroroiuent figure in everything tint looked
o the beoefll and welfare, not cnly of his
isiive County, but of his na'ive State. He
ras tried end found true in everything that
ie did privately and publicly during his lifo

'o Hit Honor JAMES ALDRJCH /'residing
Judge :
Having discharged our duties for this
rm of court in as proper a manuer as time
nd oiroumstances would admit of, we ask
aoattention of the court to make the followig
presentment and recommendations:
TBS ROADS AMD BRIDGES.
The roads of the County are generally,
ioce the recent heavy rains, in a very bad
nndition, and wa recommend that the over:ore
of roads do take immedia'e steps,
toking to thair betterment.
The bridges on Fair Forest creok, known
i the Dunoan and Thomsom bridgos, are in
very dangerous ana oritioal condition, nnvi
ora what vyo ean learn tbeTa is now danpor
f lawsuits for damage. We reeonnoond the
epairing ef these bridges at onco.
THE J ATI..
In our examination of the Jail wo find
tat none of our recommendations mule a*,
at term of coart have been attended to and
e roiterate (be recommendations made at

ipairing the kitchen, that I he kitchen bu
rn down and added lo (lie re>r eido of
ail, at the most convenient place to be dos- naled
by our Sheriff.
TUB COUNTY OYKICKS.
We find the office of Prrbate Judge, wliioh,
ring to good and suftioiont reason, win

i exoeptienably good condition and kept
ith'eare and acouraoy.
We paid our new Auditor our regular
lit and fouqd Iptq holding dowq tho books

ninat^on, which we are now having mq lo
the oflice of County Commissioners, we
ade no o'.oie report. We will at the next
rro of court make a full report on Auditor,
reaeurer and County Commietionera cflicvs.
We repeat what waa continued in our Inst
eeentment with reforenco to the way In
hich the of&oes of Auditor and Treaeurer
all be filled, via : That they be olerio.il

The offices of Sheriff and Master woro veirled

An examination of tlie Coroner's oflioo
veals the fact that our recommendations

Only four Trial Justices have submitted
snscripts of their dockets, viz: Messrs
