Captain Tillman, coutinuing, said that :;hjCwou!d, therefore, only touch upon a /few points which, he felt it necessary now to mention. They had. just bohfer red upon him a nomination to the high? "estbffice 'within the'?? gift of the people, and it has been customary for those .thus honored to speak of the sense of gratitude iwhich pyerwhehna thehij-bnt he must /aay that whilst he was profoundly grate Tfui to the people whose representatives, ?they were, yet the feeling-of gratitude: ' was not so much uppermost in his mind faa was^^ the sense^of responsibility. They . bad not conferred upon him a boon but a burden, aud he felt it so, and- he realiz "ed now that no Governor from the colon i'^tperiod down to the present -time had t?:eye?ibpeh' so much the subject of watch ^.lol'critfcisnr^as. he. wb.old .be. .' Wa have, just passed through a most ??"?remarkable .campaign, an unparallelled che, aud it is. doubtial if such a bt?te of affaire has existed in any .other State. There must be a cause for this, and there .. was a - cause. It was the cause of the .people against ring rule and bossism, and he -was but the engineer, the masses were 'the oDgine. The issues of the campaign had been already fully discussed, and ? most of the members had already heard , him do so at some, point or other in the yState. y^He would only say now in r^ard ??' to them that the .verdict of the people ;: hadr: declared him to be right. Much ' had been said perhaps on both sides that might have been better left unsaid, and inuch hitterness of feeling had been en inderedi and yet be would say now that e.rgreat'-victory for self-governpienfc, which -had been achieved by him in ^behalf of the people, was well worth all gmE the.heart:burn,ings of- the campaign. ?"^W*e entered this morning upon a new era / in the history of the State, and he trusted that the new departure would be looked - back upon ia after times with feelings of deepest gratitude, for it was one which mado the people, the rank and file of the ? Democracy, the true-and only masters of ;^?ie; State. li: He knew that he was a plain, blunt yooan j lie had-been charged sometimes ^Cwith/eyen brutal bluntness; and as a r'cpnsequenceiwas to-day the worst hated . man in the State of South. Carolina; and i-yet after all, the people had endorsed Pe?np Why ? Compared to'his two dis r -tinguished competitors; what was he ? i A- mere nobody. What was the reason "for it? Itvwas .not that the people were for, Tillman; it was that they were for ; the principles of which he was the ex? ponent.: ? .? In accepting this nomination, he felt ^that hia peaceful days were gone and a : heavy - load of. care placed upon his shoulders. Be that as it may, he would assume the office to discharge its duties without fear, favor or affection. : He trusted, now that the campaign bad I closed, the. days-?f yituperation and , abuse had'also closed. He had been .represented thrpugh the medium of the resaas ? dangerous demagogue, a worse bian Red Republican?as one who had lefamed-vhisv mother State. When had he Yeverjacc.used--the people of South Carolina. of .fraud or corruption ? He id charged official mistakes and mis? management, and had said that such iings -should .be righted and must be ghtecL ;; That was all there wa3 in that. Ue t?irn ?f the wheel sometimes brought e>Kohi!tc?' the surface, and there were ?;'-"? those that held that stich was the case with the revolution which had thrown him on top. "If it were so, time wonld show. ?BJlregarded the hisses of those who opposed him, he could say now that he felt no animosity towards them, nor did he entertain a single spark of resentment in his bosom against any man who had not treated him with common decency in the campaign. Some there were who had not done bo, and he could not say that he felt friendly disposed toward them; but he would say that ho had no one to reward, no one to punish, and would enter office with clean hands, un? pledged to anything whatsoever, save to administer the laws faithfully and im : partially. , - Alluding once again to the bitterness ! existing against'him in certain quarters, Captain Tulman asked the Convention to contrast his action in the past, when he had accepted defeat and concurred in ? unsatisfactory nominations, to the action of the people of Bichland,, who had in? structed their delegates to vote against t making his nomination unanimous. Riehl and might refuse to join the Till man column, but, like the absence of the statue of Pompey from Casars triumph, it only made the triumph more conspicu? ous. . . Of the many slanders. uttered against him, and spread broadcast over the land, . he .would only, stop now to notice one. It was that ip.regard to his having him? self ? shadowed by detectives whilst in Charleston. That was an infamous lie; j he did. hot-know that any such had been > done until after he had left that city. Great Btress had been laid upon the matter of the bonded debt of the State, and'fears .were said tobe entertained that his election as Governor. would in .: juriously affect the credit of the State, and it was Baid that inexperienced men - could not successfully manage - the finan? ces of-the State. Where was there any I experience needed in debt paying? All that was needed was common honesty and common sense. J3e had always paid his dwh-debts, always protected his own -credit. Why.then . should'he' do ? anything - to 'impair .the ..credit of the : State?. He .believed that so far from >. any injury resulting in this direction, the i contrary would be the case, and that he would go out of office with -the credit of i; the State standing, higher than ever. t Captain Till man closed hiB speech, which j was of much greater length than; hiB opening remarks seemed to promise, with an appeal for harmony, and said in con? clusion that if all of the people of the State, would but hold op his hands, we would, enter . upon an unprecedented (jsjeerV happinessand. prosperity. ' The Garden Spot of the World. : SpaetAtIbueg, September 13.?CpL T. J. Moore,"commissionerto. the" Farmers' i Congress at Indianapolis, has returned, and is running over with enthusiasm for the Piedmont region of Sonth Carolina. He passed through the fertile fields of Tennessee, tno blue grass regions of Ken 3 t?cky, the wheat, grass and corn lands of : Ohio, Illinois, Indiana ? and Iowa.: He then crossed the Mississippi and viewed the rich prairies of Missouri and Kansas: He went as far West-as Denver, and on his return came through the Panhandle, .p'f Texas. He saw the rice and . sugar "fielda'of Louisiana^ the.wonderfoj Missis? sippi bottoms, and then returned through Alabama and Georgia to his home on the Tyger. Col. Moore comes back fully impress? ed that we have here, in Upper South k Carolina, the garden spot of all the States i that he visited.' Here we have a variety of productions, an equable climate, the best of water gushing from every hillside, unsurpassed health, ard rains distributed throughout the twelve months. He found better cotton on his farm than he saw in the Mississippi bottoms, and sev? eral of his neighbors have belter cotton than he has. It looked more like living here in South Carolina than any place ho saw, unless it was in the sugar plan j tatioos of Louisiana. The' oat crop of t the West was short; wheat was a partial failure and ? there was a general drought prevailing' from the banks of the Ohio to Denver.' In many places the corn was parched up, with no signs of ears. In very few sections was there a full crop. All over the fertile prairies of the West it looked like hard times and worse com? ing. I ? ' . On HiB way to the Texas Panhandle his expectations were high. From what he had heard he thought he would see an inviting country, bat when he reached it he saw treeless plains, parched up with heat and drought. ' Along the road the meagre crops made no show. The spirit of desolation seemed to hover over the country. The only flourishing crop he Bsw in that* section was the prairie dogs. It looked as if they would meas? ure out a thousand bushels to the acre. They prove very destructive to crops, uprooting the young corn and wheat, A settler there, from New York State, said they had destroyed his corn crop, but, he added : "I tell you what we can d? here. We can raise a steer until be Tis S years old cheaper than we can feed a chicken six months back in New York." ' Col. Moore asked a lady how Jong the drought had been prevailing in the Panhandle. She replied: "When God laid the foundations of the world he ordained a drought for this country, and it seems to continue to this day." Col. Moore discussed the relative con? dition of Farmers East, West and South, and says he is bound to conclude from all .that the.farmers of the Piedmont section of. this State enjoy a degree of health, happiness and prosperity unknown to those in other sections. He wonld not advise any one to sellout here and move westward to better his condition. He thinks professional and business young men and real estate agents may do well to go West and settle in some of the pro? gressive towns." i The South was not fully represented in the Congress. -The most of the commis? sioners were from the East and West. They had a free discussion as to the sub treasury bill' and about four-fifths of the members were opposed to the scheme, because they saw no possible good it could do them. After Beeing the finest sections of the Mississippi valley and conversing with farmers from many States, Col. Moore is fixed in his opinion that he saw no fairer land and better crops than we have to day in .old Spartanbnrg. He loves his native county as he never did before, because, by comparing it with other places, he sees attractions that had heretofore escaped his notice.?News and Courier. . . A Preacher Convicted. Vebnon, Ai<a., Sept. 14.?In the cir? cuit court here yesterday Beg. Thomas Owen, a primitive Baptist preacher, was convicted of disturbing public worship and using obscene language in the pres? ence of ladies. The case was a very sen? sational one, Owen having committed the offences while in the pulpit of one of his churches. He was conducting a re? vival meeting, which was attended by a number of ladies who were not members. One day Owen denounced these ladies who refused to believe hiB teaching and join his church in unmeasured terms, ap? plying to them the vilest of epithets. This brought on a riot in the church. The gentlemen, relatives and friends of the insulted ladies, trying to mob the preacher. The riot broke up the meet? ing. Owen was warned never to preach in the neighborhood again. Both Duelists Killed. Geeensboeo,% Ala., Sept. 15.?A donbly fatal street duel took place be? tween two prominent young men at Newberne, Ala., nine miles below here, on Sunday evening. Robert Turpin and GlenDuskinhad a fuss Saturday even? ing, at which time Duskin drew a pistol on Tnrph), who, being unarmed, told him to wait until they met again, and they would then shoot it out. This agreement was satisfactory. The next evening they met and firing at once began. Turpin emptied his re? volver, four of the five shots taking effect in Duskin's body. There is no hope of Daskin'8 recovery. Duskin fired five times at Turpin. Only one shot struck Turpin?the last, hitting him in the fore? head killing him almost instantly. Ai,LiAN?fl Column. %3S- All comninnications intended for this Column should be addressed to j. W. Bowden, Denver,-S. C. We call the attention of the Sub-Alli? ances to the suggestion of the Directors of the State Exchange at their meeting of Greenville in July,- that the County Exchange Agents should be elected at the County Alliance meeting, the 1st Friday in October, The County Alliance.

Sub-Alliance Secretaries will please be prompt and send their Quar? terly reports and dues to the County Secretary, so that he willreceive them by the I?t day of October. That is the con? stitution, and to facilitate business, it should be obeyed. The County Secretary will be in the Court House, at ten o'clock to enroll delegates. Secretaries will please send their Post Office address to meat once, so that I can send them the new re? ports that are to he used for this Quarter. J. W. Bowden, Sec. A. 0. F. A. -o A Review. The smoke, dust and confusion of a tierce and prolonged fight, between the masses of- the people and the "intelligent minority," who think they should rule by divine right, having somewhat subsided, we, the average farmer and Allianceman, should stop and take a calm, dispassionate and intelligent view of the political events of the last eight months, which in many-respects, form the most remarkable, and in some respects, the most disgraceful campaign that has ever been in South Carolina. In making this review the ay age farmer will find a great many ideas in political economy that are entirely new to him, ideas that are laid down by editors, and other leaders of his opponents, who claim to be infallible, as law and gospel, and any one who dares to differ with them, can be nothing leea than a radical, dem? agogue, greenbacker or any other abusive epithet that could be thought of or invent? ed. In order of time, the first of these new ideas advanced is what it takes to make a representative body of men. The March Convention, composed as it was of 235 regularly elected delegates, they said was not a representative body, oh, no; hat a little/conference of 21 men, who voluntarily came together, were truly a representative body. Queer idea. Anoth? er idea was that the people didn't have the right to!re-organize the party until the bosses said they might do it. The constitution says plainly that the party shall be re-organized at the opening of the campaign, and yet the antis opposed it in every county in the State becanee they had control of the party machinery. A great howl was raised all. through the campaign about the farmers bolting the party. How has "that turned out? Why, the very men who howled, the loudest about splitting, and who had the cheek to style themselves "straightout" Democrats, were the very ones that did the bolting. They bolted the August Convention, and refused to make the nomination of the Governor and other State officers unani? mous, in the September Convention, Which is equivalent to a bolt, and now so prominent a "straightout" as Gen. Earle says that he does not feel bound* by the State Convention, and that he will meet the farmers at the polls next November. Does that mean that he will run as an in? dependent ? If he does not mean that, it is queer talk, and noTone but a "straight out" would be guilty of using such lan? guage. . One of the cardinal principles of Democracy is that the. majority should rule, and it seems a cardinal principle of ^migEtq?^ Democracy that an "inielli gent minarify>>' should rale. Another qaeer idea. It has been a revelation to most of the farmers, how bitterly the politicians and town people have opposed their candidate and platform, both- State and National; and here is where the disgrace of it comes in. Candidates who were particularly active in defending and maintaining'the 'Farmer's Movement and alliance platform were outrageously abased by the opposi? tion, who did not hesitate to make up and circulate in underhanded ways various slanderous lies, doing their utmost to in? jure the character of the farmers' candi? date for Governor; Congressman and on down to the legislature. We are surprised and sorry to see white men in South Car? olina, who claim to be Democrats, finding themselves deficient in argument, resort to the cesspool of slander, and dirty themselves trying to blacken the white garments of fellow white men and Dem? ocrats. A man who is a gentleman will not meet argument with abuse or facts and figures with personalities. A great deal has been said about the farmers stir? ring up class prejudice, demanding class' legislation, &c. If you will examine the tabulated returns of the Primary election you will see that the towns voted more solidly against every candidate the far? mers put up than the country for them, Doesn't it look as if there was class preju? dice on the other side. To illustrate, take the vote for Congress, in the town of Anderson. In the first election Maj. Murray received 295 votes and Mr. Nor? rie 19. That was all right, they were both Anderson County men; but in the second election Mr. Johnstone received 307, and Mr. Norris only 31. Why did' the city of Anders?n go back on the county can? didate? Wasn't it class prejudice? Mr. Norris was the farmers' candidate ? Most assuredly it was, and it is absurd to claim otherwise. Fellow farmers, you may as well open your eyes to the fact that that is the kind of class prejudice you will stir np as long as you hold your own ideas of governmental policy and dare maintain the principles of right and justice you have so persistently fought for this year, and so long as yon put up a candidate who will stand by them, be he pious as a Saint, and as wise a Solomon.. And then there is that ear splitting cry of "ring rule" that is going up from the soreheads of the opposition. A great many of the newspapers are weeping themselves blind over the terrible state of "ring-rule" that we have fallen into. And what is it all about ? Why it is be? cause the Alliance, through its regularly elected representations was bold enough to lay down a platform, and say that candidates for Congress must get on it to receive their vote, and representative men from 27 clubs of the county got to? gether and suggested to the people four men to vote for for the legislature. Was there any ring about that. Yes, sir, there was a ring of business and earnest? ness about it that the politicians and op ponentB of the farmers did not fail to un? derstand, and it is a ring that has rever? berated from one end of the United States to the other, and has sounded the death knell of all political boBaism, party ty? ranny and sectional hatred by which the capitalists and speculators have so long held the power over the great Agricultu? ral and working classes. There are a great many other ideas, equally fallacious, that have been advanc? ed in this campaign, but we havn't space to enumerate them, To anyone who will recall them and put his thinker to work, and study them over carefully, this will have proved to him a campaign of educa? tion, indeed. Adyauces on Cotton. Nashville, Sept. 13.?A special from Montgomery, Ala., says : A prom? inent member of the Farmers' Alliance stated in the city this morning that the cotton committee of the Alliance has perfected arrangements with a syndicate of European capitalists to advance ?32 per bale upon a million bales of cotton at a yearly interest of 4 per cent. The farmers will be allowed to store their cotton, and on the warehouse re? ceipts the advance arranged for will be paid, while the farmer will have the privi? lege of selling the cotton at any time within twelve months. Prominent cotton men think that the withdrawal of this amount of cotton from the market will tend to advance the price of cotton within twelve months to 12 or 13 cents per pound. Severe Western Weather. Washington,. September IS.?The, special weather bulletin of the'signal office furnishes the following special bulletin to the press. The Bignal service reports of yesterday and this morning show the advance from the Northwest over Dakota, Nebraska, Iowa, Kansas, Northern Texas, Missouri and Northern Illinois of a severe cold wave, which has produced an unprecedented low temper? ature and unusually early frosts through? out these sections. Killing frosts were reported this morn? ing from Central and Northwestern Iowa two weeks earlier, and from Denver three days earlier than there is any previous record. Light frosts were reported from other portions of Iowa, Nebraska and from Kansas and Northern Missouri. Frost warnings were sent yesterday to Northwestern Iowa and Dakota, and this morning were issued for the cranberry and tobacco districts of Wisconsin and ?the tobacco districts of Missouri, Western Kentucky and Northwest Tennessee. A, Short Crop iu Georgia. Atlanta, September 14.?The rains since the 1st of August have made a vast difference in the cotton crop, and the present outlook is. that in Georgia it will be at let.at 25 per cent short. Thia in? formation comes from the department of agriculture of the State through an in? terview with Col. John Waddell, com? missioner. He says: ""Our report of the condition of the crop of September 1 was 81 per cent of the average. That was a falling oil of 12 points during August. This was due to rust, caused by excessive rain, and the same cause will -depreciate" the condition of the crop at least 10 points more by the time our October reports come in. The rains of the past two weeks have made the rust much worse, and there is already an additional damage of 10 points since the 1st of September. I have been nearly all over the State, and know whereof I speak. Rust is particularly bad in Southwest Georgia. In North Georgia the condition' of the crop is better, but the best reports come from Counties where there is not much cotton raised." . Dea's Philosophy. Manning, Sept; 13.?The Republican County Convention was held here to day. Si Milton was president. He is a black negro with little-education, but he makes .a splendid presiding officer, and kept the Convention in excellent order. Several speeches-were made, most of which were conservative. ?. H. Deas of Darlington was present and made one of his charac? teristic speeches. He is not in favor of a ticket, Tor be says the Antis will not help them, but only would be glad, so that they would only then say, "You see what has been done because Ti 11 man was nom? inated." He is "agin" both factions of the Democracy, He reasons philosophi? cally : The negroes were in power from 1868 to 1876 ; then the Antis, or aristoc? racy ; now the common white people, or the "poor buckra" are to have their day. Two years hence, he reasons, both factions will bid for the negro vote; he advises them to go where they can get the most. ?Charleston World,. ? The Confederate Home, near Atlan? ta, Ga, the money for the erection of which was raised principally through the efforts of the late Henry W. Grady, is now nearing completion. It has coat about $22,000 to build it. The grounds cover 120 acres and cost about $8,000. Their value now is $100,000. The Leg? islature will be asked to receive the home and place it on the basis of other State charitable institutions. TAX NOTICE. OlEco of County Treasurer. Anderson, S. C, September 1C, 1890.
