At the campaign meeting In Wal- halla, Governor Sheppard secured the admission from Governor Tillman that the work of the constitutional convention was not intended to be submitted back to the people, and that therefore the people would not have a chance to ratify or reject Till man’s scheme to qualify suffrage. Goveinor Sheppard said: “I told you so; he denies your r wer to understand your own minds. haye been trying to draw out the Governor on this question for two months, Now Mr Benet will never again have the power, with his basso profundo voice, to say a law limiting suffrage can be passed without sub mitting it to the people.” According to the Columbia Regis ter, Governor Tillman justifies his unwillingness to have the people vote on the constitution, by the assertion that there is a pieponderance of negro votes, when nobody knows better than he that for the past ten or more years the negroes have not cast one- fifth of the total vote of the State at any general election. The fact that he well knows this is proved by his assertion in his last annual message, delivered in December, 1891, when he said, “We have no reason to dread a return of negro rule in South Caro lina, and there is now no reason, if there ever existed any, why our Con gressional districts should not be ar ranged in reasonably compact shape.” The people need no stronger proof that it is his intention, and that of the leading members of his adminis tration, to prevent, if possible, the white voters from haying a chance to ratify or reject a new constitution. The negro is brought to the front now only as a blind to hide his scheme. Second Chapter of the Book of the Prophet Zeracchaboam. Tillman and Factory Operatives. Governor Tillman has said cn one occasion that he had “rather deal with the negro any day than the damn factory class.” This can be proved (and sworn to if necessary) by such gentlemen as Toll Gloyer, John Hightower, George Walker, Hugh Shaw, M. D., and Col A. P. Butler, all of Aiken County. This question was asked him at the Aiken meeting and he would neither deny nor affirm it.— The Stale In reference to these worthy opera- pla£<jtP_EJA^ e in the isml, and found T. • i -T7. . n .1-_ _ ^ XL attpnd to thfi hnsinpss with tiyes, President E. A. Sjmythe, of the Pelzer Manufacturing ^^^vhjle dis cussing the Snipes matiW^L'ade inci- degtaJly a ntgp.tfloaTit statement. He JMfidthe operatives at Pelzer had de posited in the savings bank there $32,000. On this they were paid 4 per cent, interest. Eleven thousand dol lars of the deposits have been with drawn, however, much of it being loaned by the operatives to farmers at 8 to 10 per cent. In other words, the laborers have become capitalists. Men and women too are putting out the money they have worked for and honestly earned to earn them more and to accumulate so as to make their old age honorable and easy. Yet these earnest people are denounced by Governor Tillman as “the damn fac tory class.” It has been falsely asserted by some of the administration papers, that the Cedar Grove meeting, at which Ma jor E. B. Murray was beaten by Till- manites, was not a regular meeting, but was only a family affair. This meeting was really called by the County Executive Committee, and duly advertised in the Anderson In telligencer on July 30th; in the An derson Journal on August 5th, and al so in the People’s Advocate, a strong administration paper, on August 8. Governor Tillman advocates a road law by which the rich man can be re lieved of road work by paying a com mutation of $1.50, while the poor man will have to work the roads for eight days, at I8J4 cents a day. Will the poor man support a measure that allows such unjust disciim'nation? Tho Prohibition Boxes. The following circular has been is sued by the State executive commit tee, which is beingsent out to all coun ty chairmen, and fully explains the manner of taking the vote on prohi- tion: Headquarters ) State Dem. Executive Com. -- Columbia, S. C,. August 15th, 1892.) The county chairman in each coun ty is hereby instructed to deliver to the board of managers of each club the following special instruction: The managers of election shall pro vide at their respective voting place a special ballot box, to be known as the prohibition box, into which are to be cast the votes relating to the ques tion of “Prohibition” or “No Prohi bition.” This box shall be under the charge and control of the said managers, and their duties relating thereto to be gov erned by the same rules applicable to the other ballot box in which votes for candidates are cast. By order of the executive com mittee. John L. M. Irby. Chairman. G. Duncan Bellinger, Secretary. This shows how the question of pro hibition was intended to be settled, but from what has developed recently the prohibitionists are making a big fight in every county to secure the election of members of the Legisla ture. who favor prohibition. What success they will have in this line remains to be seen, but they are working hard and even though the verdict of the people be “no pro hibition,” it is not at all improbable that the same fight for prohibition made at the last session will be re peared this year. 1. Now it came to pass that there were certain of the congregation of the Tillmanites who deserted the tra ditions of the fathers and followed af ter strange gods, and did worship Benjamin as though he were some brazen image. 2. Being blinded by their wrath they stood up against Zeracchaboam the Prophet, and did speak despite- .ully of him, saying this man is a false prophet and speaketh not the words of truth and soberness. 3. But the prophet was unmoved thereat, for he knew that long afore time it was written “a prophet is not without honor save in his own coun try and among his own people. 4. Now Benjamin did further har den his heart among the people, and sought to make the poor do grievous and heavy labor upon the highways of the land, while the rich could give of his abundance a few pence and go his way, 5. And in the subtlety of his heart he sought to deprive those who -were unlearned and of little substance from lifting up their voices in the choice of the rulers of the land, reasoning with himself “if I can but put the people under subjection, I shall rule for ever.” 6. Being himself possessed of a goodly heritage, he sought to make the poor tiller of the soil but as the servants of those who had great pos session. 7. Now in the second year of the reign of this Benjamin, the Tillmau- ite, when the camp of the Sheppard- ites was pitched over against him, there was sore division among the people, and the father was found to fight against the sou and brother against brother, this discord and di vision among the people having been brought about by the deceitful prac tices of Benjamin, who loved rule far more than the good of his brethren. 8. But seeing how great was the camp of the Sheppardites, he waxed exceeding wroth and swore amazing ly; even in the presence of the priests of the people did he open his mouth in blasphemies. And his followers were gathered unto him and he went to and fro among the people, exclaim ing vehemently, “Lo, I am a whale!” 9. But those that heard this saying reasoned among themselves, saying, “Why calleth he himself a whale? A whale is mightv among living crea tures and can in no wise be tamed to the will of men, while this man hath been taken upon the little hook of the carriers of travellers, baited with a free pass. He seemeth unto us to be but a small fish.” 10. Others said: “He is the might iest among men and the greatest of magicians, who can change oxen into horses and cause gold to grow upon the trees of the forest. Yet others more wisely said, “he is neither Moses or Eli'as, nor yet that prophet, but simply Benjamin the Tillmanite, who desireth further rule in which to deceive the people and waste their treasure and sell more herds unto the State to his own profit.” 11. And Hugh, the Captain of the Hosts, and John, the Senator, were sorely troubled in mind and quaked exceedingly, and did run about from ^iotime'to attend to the business with which they had been eutn^ted by the people. • 12. And Hugh, the Captaiiyjf the Hosts, though a man mighty in, bat tle, did flee before the face of the tax- gatherer as though he were more ter rible than an army with banners, and could not be found; yet he did seek with Benjamin to lay greater taxes on his brethren, while he rendered not his own- 13. And going iw and out among the people he did greatly belittle himself, until he became a jest and a by-word throughout all the land, tell ing unseemly stories and making pre tense that the beasts of the field could reason together and talk among them selves. 14. And there came one John, of curly locks, who was made law-giver to the people, the same John, hav ing seized upon Benjamin’s nether garment after he had begun to rule over the land. 15. Now Benjamin was mindful to put him away privily, but John did so hardly cling to his hindmost gar ment that he could in no way loose his hold except he made him law giver to the people. 16. But when this John had come unto his office, he greatly pleased Benjamin, his master, inasmuch that he was so skilled in his reading of the book of the law that he found that Benjamin could not err, but pretend ed to find a law to justify all his do ings, whether the same were right or wrong. 17. But this John was of timorous nature^and when he beheld the great ness of the camp of the Sheppardites he quaked even more exceedingly than John the Senator and Hugh the Captain of the Hosts, and loosing his hold on Benjamin’s hinder garment he straightway forsook him and lied again to his own country. 18. Ar.d while Benjamin sought daily opportunity to set the people one against the other, there arose one Lawrence, surnamed Youmans, who disputed against him and showed unto the people how grievously their false ruler had deceived them. 19. Now when they had all gathered together at a place called the Kings- tree, Lawrence did rise up against Benjamin and smote him sore; and when the disputation had lasted from morning even unto the going down of the sun, Benjamin was carried away even as it were with a flood of many waters and fled with great haste back into his own camp, and could not again be persuaded under any pretense to do battle versary. against this ad- An Assistanl Bishop Requested. At a meeting of the standing com- mitte held in Charleston on the 6th the following communication was read from the Rt. Rey. \V. B. W. Howe, Bishop of the Diocese of South Carolina:^ “I shall ask the convention at its next meeingt to elect an Assistant Bishop. I regret to sav that by the advice of my physical!, I must not take up the work of the Diocese before the next Diocesan Convention. In the meantime, I shall, with the as- asistauceof the standing committee, make provision for all necessar}’ Episcopal visitations. ’’During my enforced inability I hope the Standing Committee will continue to act as the ecclesiastical authority of the diocese, and I beg the gentlemen of the committee to take such action as seems best for bringing this paper to the notice of the diocese.

This roll constitutes the registry list and is the only one to be used by the managers in accordance with Art. VI, of the State Democratic constitution. Every voter must be pledged by the managers to support the nominees of the Democratic party, and in voting sub scribe theoatn provided in Rule 1, page 1, of Regulations. This primary election is held under the law of the State legalizing the same, and the managers are cautioned to be careful that absolute fairness in voting be obtained according to the Rules and Regulations of the Democratic party which also governs along with the spe cial State law in this party election, and they will exercise all due dilligence to prevent any unfair means at tempted, as a strict accountability will be had for all overt acts or violations of the Constitution, Rules and Regu lations and the act of the State of South Carolina.
