The opposition is sending out broadcast iu Mm \\<ul I that everything in South Carolina is wrong aide up ; Unit the Uovcrnor is npposeil to oil lawful enterprises, and by this means the Suite bonds arc run down below par.

In the meanwhile the Slate wants outs'de capit il to c ime aud establish new P.actoriei, new enterprises of all kinds, but the people me advised not to vote for a President of a factory or a President of a hank, as the managers of such institutions, and, from a piritvof reasoning, the institutions also, are opposed to the interests of k'lr-ii enfri|o I^es; ?',ko oliy.v'f.lc the S >?nhorn fuim, emp'oy labor (hit not only work up those pro I nets for market but again buy the food products of tlio farm for their own susteniiance.

We don't feel that tho?e papers arc treating the people fairly right that eay the Tillmnuitcs arc looking around for Anli-Tilim,mites to take care of the ollioe.s and get the country out of its present financial troubles, etc. We think the messes of our people arc honest, arid will if let atone, do what they think is right, liy voting for the best, mtu, irrespective of party. But when a paper begins to sing out that this or that paity has all the character, nil the sense, and all the honesty, it is sure to hurt the cause it is trying to help. When a good man's name is suggested it should go before the people upon the merits of the mar? himself.
