Capital, a iRepubli l paper, says: "Mr. Cleveland deserves \ confidence of his party and the re? set of the country because ho has the trage always and everywhere to say ^what he is, and because he is something ^definaeand intelligible."

Which will you irote for?__. t was Ben Terrell who orgarfijed the ce in this State,, and at that time s vociferous in proclaiming his loyalty the Democratio party and in assuring people* that the order was anon-polit organization. Be it remembered, also? he is one of the most enthusiastio and eminent members of tho Third Party which met at Omaha a few (eeksago. The St." Louis Republic remarks that if he Republican managers want to hold * negro vote this' election they had bet ? try taf get up a bull movementon cot Having been disappointed in the flforty acres and amule," tho cotton-patch 2s cannot bo expected to keep vot ?g the Republican ticket on hoecake vith^ut any bacon. And present prices j^otton mean dry hoecakes for a good j; many of them. Every speech that Go v. Tillman makes | Dves that he i* not a friend to the poor He favors a threeVdollar poll tax ( a property-qualification to vote, j i are good things to save money to ions and put more power in the jda of wealthy men. Tillroan favors 3g away with the lien law, which I forco four-fifths of tho white tenants gantry to go to work in compe i^oit with the negro wage hand. I ?-? I ^wo years ago W. C.

Such a man can do noth jg for the farmers. If men were better understood there l ^vould be less of distrust and doubt as to ['..the honesty of their motives and parpo | ses, A man of good character will Bel . domly be abused where he is known, un ?le?s.by a dishonest person.

What ho has accom? plished is the very highest tribute to ie possibilities of American citizen i Rey. J. B, Middleton, of Caraden, asts that Friday, the 26th day of Au be observed throughout South Car na as a day of lasting and "prayer for o peace of the State;" that there be a eneral suspension of business on that and that all the people being assem f in the Churches, enter into a pledge i carry any coi.cealed deadly weapon. Middleton fuither suggests that on r, August 28, the ministers of the j preach sermons especially directed , the prevailing spirit of lawlesness rath Carolin;.. These suggestions ? wise and propor. It is time the pulpit Iwas. beginning to support the press in its ^pbrts to prevent p, ifi punish ari<ne. WON'T SAME THE MAN. When we inquired of the Advocate what it meant by a reference to a gam? bling and drinking Baptist we had the right to do so. That unfortunate and mysterious fellow has been repeatedly luj;ged before the public in articles in which politics was the topic Knowing of no individual of that description who has anything to do with this campaign, and believing there is none such, we ask? ed for information as to his identity, and stated that if the Advocate really knew of no snoh a character, then the logical inference was that that imaginary, drink? ing and gambling Baptist was used as a disguise over which to apply opprobrious epithets to all Baptist people. If the Advocate knows the individual it carefully guards his name, while ad? vertising bis vices, and the same mystery surrounds the reference as before that paper published a column or two of statements intended to be explanatory and whining reproaches at this paper for criticising its indiscreet reference, to say the least of it. Up to date every reader must judge for himself whether the sins of some unfortunate Baptist were alluded to, or whether, in the absence of that in? dividual, a specific allnsion was made which was intended to include the whole. We could not bring ourselves to believe that the Advocate had in mind either Mr. Hiott or Mr. Sheppard, both prominent Baptists, who are candidates on the Con? servative State ticket. The sobriety and morality of these gentlemen are known of all men. The faot that they were placed in nomination by a Convention of citizens of the highest character, men? tally and morally, is sufficient guarantee of that* The drinking and gambling Baptist must be a Conservative, otherwise the Advocate would not so cruelly expose his shortcomings io the public eye. Yet, where are we to find him? Is there an? other Baptist on the Conservative ticket ? But he wouldn't be there if he was ad? dicted to those vicious habits. Who can he be ? We will have to give it up, but will continue to wonder what the Advo? cate meant, anyhow. As to this paper owing the Advocate an apology, that was a mere ruse to mislead and to create sympathy. The Advocate didn't expect an apology. It should do the apologizing act It owes it to either an individual Baptist or to the whole denomination for calling attent ion to what it must know to be the sins of tho one, or supposes to be the sins of the othjr. We are fortunate that our intelligence and discernment cannot bo accurately es? timated by the Advocate's measure. The frog in the fable made a vain effort to measure the size of the ox by its own standard, and disastrous results folio wed to the frog. We are willing for the same tribunal to which the Advocate has whim? peringly appealed to judge of the correct? ness of what we have said in regsird* to this matter, and as an aid to the pnblic.in determining what was meant, the follow? ing clipping from last week's Advocate may throw additional light on the sub? ject: "I noticed in the Intelligencer not long since, a man who wanted to see a -man that could plough an ox in a new ground without swearing. < If he'll come up hero I will show nun a man that plou two last year and I am sure he did not swear and he is not an evangelist nor a fool Baptist" The above was written by one of its correspondents and is published without comment by the editor. SUCCESS AHEAD. The Conservatives have not been boast? ing much but they have been working bard, and now they have good reason to believe that the August primary will give their ticket a good majority over their opponents. Anderson County, which has been hitherto conceded to be & Tillman Coun? ty, and reckoned by some as a Third Party County, has made most encourag? ing strides toward the Sheppard and Orr columns, and there is reason to believe that' by the time of the primary onr County will not only go overwhelmingly Democratic but will give a good majority for the Conservative Democracy. Oov. Tillman has furnished abundant evidence that he has been a failure as Chief Executive of South Carolina, and hence that the Conservative ticket should be elected. ? His mismanagement of the Coosaw matter cost the State over 9100,000. His efforts to control the Judiciary and the legislature, and his abuse of individ? ual members of those departments and of the latter as a whole, are evidenoe that he is inordinately ambitious and tyranni? cal. His proposition to make the poll tax three dollars and to repeal the lien law prove him an enemy of the poor man. His acceptance of froe passes and his sale of cows to the asylum bring in dura? tion his honesty. His profanity and indecencies of speech ?tamp him as a blackguard. Ever sine? he has sought office, which began in about 1886, he has been a stirrer np of strife and 'passion between neigh? bors. Since Ben Terrell made him swallow the sub-treasury scheme and Col. Yon mftTis ran him from the stand he has eve? rywhere been declared a coward. ' He wanted to fasten a system of govern? ment on the Counties that was not only impracticable and tin wise, ? but would have proven a failure. He wants the power to remove Sheriffs at will. It is just such follies as these that the Conservatives are fighting, and there are many not enumerated above. The man who cannot find a sufficient reason for casting his influence and vote against Gov. Tillman has sorely become so joined to bis Idol that his eyes have been blinded and his ears made deaf, and he deserves pity rather than censure. . Formerly a combination of politiciano for self-advancement was a ring. Now it is a "canons." A difference in terms, not hi character._ Columbia Slate: Things Governor Till? man would like to do to help the poor man?the "wool-hat, one gattos boy," to j whom he refers so often in. his speeches: 1. Make him pay a poll tax of 83. 2. Sell him to a contractor to work the public roads eight days a year, while the man with ready money pays 81.50 commuta? tion tax. 3. Put a property qualification upon his right to vote. 4. Abolish the lien law so that he can't get advances and will have to work for wages in his wealthy neighbor's field. Tillman and a coat-tail Legislature will give him these blessings and many more of the same sort, and the "one-gallus boy" should be encouraged to stick to the "poor man's fri'snd g_ ' The Carolina Spartan says that accord? ing to Tillman and his imitators our State will soon be scarce of Democrats. Till? man declares that all who opposed him two years ago are not Democrats. He says they are ''dogs," "moccasins/ "Haskelites," worse than negroes. His Adjutant-General, Farley, declares that all who supported Tillman two years ago and who are now opposed to him are traitors and cowards. According to their way of thinking the only Democrats in the State worthy of the name are Tillman ?and those who think and act as he does. Is that the way to bring about peace and harmony? Will that course keep the white people together and insure white supremacy? About one-fifth of all the voters or t!ie State are Tillmanltes. Shall thev >>'? -fate to and tyrannize over all the ot :- ? A freo people will pip; test * i Goo. R. Wendling, the lecturer, says that while he was delivering his address on Stonewall Jackson, in Kansas City, Mo., some timo ago, when he reached the point where Lee, driven hack by the Union advance, called to his men, ''Rally behind tho Virginians; there Jackson stands like a stone wall!" a man in the gallery rose up, his face on Are with en? thusiasm, and shouted Glory to God! As he shouted he seized his hat and sent it sailing over the audience, and in an in? stant, to quote the time-honored phrase, pandemonium reigned. For five minutes tbe audience cheered and yelled with a vigor that rattled both Wendling and the windows. Have the delegates who represented Anderson in the May Convention?the same in whioh Grover Cleveland was de? nounced as false to the Democracy?con? vinced the people that they voted like Democrats on the resolutions proposed by a Richland delegate denouncing the for? mation of a Third Party in thin State and those promulgating Third Party princi? ples? Some of them are now candidates "subject to tbe Democratic primary." Voters may find some amusement in hearing explanations. They will be va? ried, with contortions to match. The fact is that the Committee to which tbe reso? lutions were referred reported tbem un? favorably and the Convention sustained the Committee. Howling Down. Editor Intelligencer: This thing of howling down and throttling free Seech is undermining and destroying e fundamental principles of our Amer? ican institutions, and is threatening our civil liberties. ? The very principles for which our illustrious forefathers fought and died, and the very soil which is con? secrated with their blood, is desecrated by the howls and tramp of a wild and in? furiated crowd of American citizens. Men of Carolina, stop and think 1 'Can yon be trne to yourselves, yonr God, and your country when you refuse to hear argument on State questions and will madly oppose men and measures simply upon the ground of prejudice ? Would j yon, as honest men, be willing to render I a verdict in a case in Court when yon had heard but one aide of the case? I an? swer for you?no. Then are you willing to oast a vote' in an election when you have heard but one side of the question ? Think for a moment and your answer will be no?no. Yonr verdict in Court would probably affect but one person, while your vote shapes the destiny of your State. - "Breathes there the man with aoul so dead, Who never tc himself hath said. This is my own, my native land?" , J. P. G. Into a Trap* The question of how to keep the negro out of our politics was for a long time a living one in this State. It was at last solved by Edward McCrady, of Charles? ton, with the present eight box and regis? tration law. 'if By the way, not as strictly part r* this subject, but as an independent observa? tion, has anybody noticed how the men who did most for the State daring and since 1876 stand in this present contest? James L Orr was tbe first man of the Wallace house in the storming of the State House that year; John C. Sheppard was ?l?se behind him.' Samuel Dibble led the forlorn hope in the fight for Con? gress in the then black district. Wade Hampton is on the same side with them. Edward McCrady, who devised and intro? duced the eight box law and gave ns a guarantee of peace and security so long as we stick together, was the first signer of the thirteen call. But, to return: The eight box law made ns safe so long as there was white unity. From a condition of doubt and anxiety and a new fight every two years we pass? ed into a feeling of serene security and South Carolina was taken out of the doubtful column and put in the list of States surely and always Democratic. As a chronio kicker, a neighborhood oracle who could improve everything while knowing but little of the mots of anything, B. It. Tlliman, in 1888, sought to improve on the eight box law. Ina letter to the News and Courier he urged as one of the things to be done by a con? stitutional convention the adoption of a property or educational qualification for voters. His .friends talk of his nerve. ? He said1 at Bamwell that if he believed a thing was right he would do it if every man in the State was against him. But h6 hasn't had the nerve to propose or support on the stump as a candidate what he propos? ed and supported in the newspapers as a citizen who would (he promised) accept no office but that of trustee of an agricul? tural College. The last Senate adopted a resolution call ins: a Constitutional Convention. A proposed amendment requiring that the work of that Convention be submitted to the people was defeated by Governor Till man's friends and supporters. The reso? lution failed in the House?the "drift? wood" House?only because a two-thirds majority could not be mustered for it, tbe anci-Tillmna men standing fast against it. If Governor Tiilman is re-elected "with a Legislature to suit him," which he de? mands, the poor people of this country may find that they have been led into a cruel trap. The governor has shown and spoken his purposes. They are plain. ? If he controls the Legislature the Co u u ty Government Bill, proposed and de? feated in the last Legislature, will be pass? ed. j The governor will then have control of ! the Legislature, of the Courts, of the j ' County Governments. He will have the ' appointment of aU the township road commissioners, who will make the I County Government and control all con? tracts of the commissioners of the poor, [ of the jury commissioners and trial justi? ces. With this power in his hands and the I appointment of election commissioners ! and control of the party machinery he will control the election of members of the constitutional Convention. What does he want that Convention to do? > Make a three dollar poll tax. Fix it so that unless a man he a cer? tain amount of property or has a certain degree of education he shall not vote, shall have no voice in the choice of his government. The poor white people are being led into a trap by the loud talk of the farm? ers' government and popular rule. They are being put in a position where they will be helpless slaves, denied a vote, subjeot to the will of the rich or educated, deprived of all privileges but paying a tribute of three dollars a year for the schools and being sold to contractors eight days in every year for work on the public roads. There is cunning claim that the whole thing is against the negro. Thousands of negro farm hands working at ?9 a month would rather stay in jail twenty days and be fed and lodged than pay their $3 poll tax. Abolish the eight box law and fix an educational or property qualification. Then the white man, who cannot come up to the standard must pay 83 a year to help the sons of colored parents to go to school and learn enough to vote while the white man is turned from the ballot box and left without voice or power. We are doing very well as it is. Every white man has his vote and the State is surely Democratic under the eight box law. Do you want white men and Democrats to be denied tbe right to vote because they are poor or have been unable to find means to lsarn to read or write, while negroes who have gathered property or education under tbe government white men fought and have paid for walk freely to the polls ? Do you want tbe laboring men of this State to be subicccted to a three dollar poll tax ? Do you want free white men and South Carolinians to be given into slavery eight days a year at fifty cents a day, while their wealthier neighbors take their ease by paying 81.50 commutation tax ? It you want all these things and war against money and corporations to keep and drive both out of tk?* State Vote foe B. R. Tiilman for Governor.? Greenville News. ? Col. Powell, of the United States ar? my, is authority for the statement that among the Cheyonnes a man is nevor permittted to speak to his mother-in-law except through tho intermediation of a third person. ? On oxamining tho field glasses used at the observatory on Mount Arie, situa? ted near the summer resorts, West Ba? den and French Lick, it was found that one of tbe field glasses had an impres? sion of flowers in both lenses, like a neg? ative. It must have been caused by lightning, as tho glass was left on the upper platform of the observatory, and the impression is of Buch flowers as are growing on Mount Arie. The quality of the glass is not impainH ut all, though the impression seems to c.o ulnar through the lenses. To The Farmers. Friends and Fellow? Citizens: I hope you will not consider me presumptuous in at? tempting to address you through the col? umns of this paper, or in any other way, but as I am in a position to appreciate your situation in the present campaign, I hope you will do me the honor of consid? ering, just for a few moments, what I will havo to say. Thero is one growing evil in South Car? olina which threatens the peace and pros? perity of the State; an evil which every peace-loving citizen, man and woman, should resolve upon stamping out of ex? istence. The evil which I refer to is the growing prejudice between the County and the town. That this thing does exist and is growing and becoming more inten? sified daily, no one will deny. That the situation is becoming dangerous and alarming is proven in every polit? ical discussion, and at every cam? paign meeting. Now, gentlemen, I bold the opinion that this prejudice must be overcome and put under toot before we ?townsman or countryman?can or are capable of casting a icyal vote in tbe com? inp elections. Some one is responsible for thin evil, but it is not my business here to Bay who it is. We should not stop to en? quire who net tbe bouse on fire, but tbe tret duty is to put out tbe fire, then ap Srebend and punish the guilty party. u*t so in this case. Let's not stop to fasten the blame upon uny one just now, but all join hands in crushing out the evil nod time will not be slow in laying tbe charge at tbe guilty man's door. Now, bow are we to get at the trouble and to etop it? The first blow should be hurled at tbe men who are attempting to sow tbe seeds of discord, be tbey whom they may?Tillmanites or anties. The town and Ccuuty should unite and refuse to support any man for office who would, for political purposes, attempt to array one class against another. ''United we ahmd, divided we fall" should bo our watch-word, and every man who attempts to divide ns shonld be looked upon and treated as an enemy. Tbe class agitators once put under foot, fellowship and broth? erly love, once characteristic of South Carolinians, would in due time be re-es tshlisbed and tbe dead past barv its dead. J. P. G. ShlloT? Puffit. As it 1b raining now, I concluded to write you a short epistle and give yon the news in brief. The farmers are busy fighting tbe grass, and if sunshine does not make its appear? ance tbe grass will gain tbe victory. Laying by corn seems to be tbe order of the day. Concerning politics, we are very near equally divided, but I am still bowling for Sheppard and Cleveland. I think A. L. Smith was right When be composed that beautiful poem, "Hard Times." ' I heard a young lady say she was waiting to get a chance to propose to him, but be is so sby he won't come in a mile of this place. Come up, Smith, she has the prettiest flowers of anybody around here. Sadness ss pictured on the faces of tbe girls. They are downcast about the bachelors' club.

August will soon ..bo here, and you tennis players should revive the club. The boys should have some amusement to keep them out of mischief.

Your correspondent from Eureka, Mr. E??tor, made a few mistakes recently, I think. First, he says I seemed very proud of my Tiilman community. I did not say so in my communication. He says be la proud to say that his community is di? vided. Isn't it a mistake for a thinking, intelligent man to make such expressions at euch a time as this? Is it not a mis? take to criticise the whole movement be car.'ie one does not like the leader. Again, he says tbat be does not like bo much boBiiism as Tiilman and his ring desires. Now, we think if he could have seen tbat famous convention of twenty-one, tbat met in Columbia some two years ago, be would have seen more bosslsm in two hours than he has seen in tbe farmers' movement in two years. The wet weather is doing serious damage to the crops in this community. Cotton on sandy land is failing for want of work and sunshine, and corn on the bottom land is badly hurt from overflow. The farmers are becoming downcast over the situation. One of our young men, Mr. C. W. C. King, has left ub for Piedmont. We hope he may soon find out that Piedmont is. not the place for him, and tbat be may return to ub decided to stay on tbe farm. Miss Bannah Williams, of Greenville, has been visiting at her aunt's, Mrs. Susan Alewine's. Miss Lou McGee, of Honea Path, was on a visit to her brothers last week. The Sunday School at Bethany la largely attended, and much interest is manifested in the lesson. To "Ears and Eyea" I say your guess is correct. Yours, <&c., for "equal rights to all, and special privileges to none." Zach. More Facts About Flat Bock. Mb Editor : In your issue of May 25th last was published a communication from me giving a history of the establishment and organization of Flat Rock Church. In it, among other things, I stated that the Presbyterian and Baptist denominations owned eight acres jointly, and I also stated who were the. original Trustees, and who are now the Trustees. This communica? tion called forth another communication signed "Fist" in your issue of June 30th, in which it is stated that Grief T?te holds the title to four acres of this land. This may be true, and I do not doubt it, but I do unhesitatingly say that he would have a lively time enforcing possession and ownership. In the deed from Joseph Hall to Joab Hall, the four acres, being part of tbe eight acres claimed by the two denominations, was expressly reserved. Hence Joab Hall nevet had title to these four aores, and it logically follows that he could not convey what he did not have. Besides, these two congregations since 185G have claimed and exercised owner? ship over this land, and, if for no higher reason, hold it by adverse possession. Besides, if Mr. T?te baa titles they would be in trust for said denomination. So much for this assertion as to who are the Trustees. In tbe communication signed ''Flat" my name is not mentioned as one of tbe Trustees. In reference to this, all I have to st.y, is that under act of tbe General Assembly of South Carolina, I vas ap? pointed one of tbe Trustees, that I have continued to act as such Trustee, and es I have not resigned or been removed from said Trusteeship, I still regard myself as uot/untus officio, and expect to discharge the duties of Trustee to the end. As matter of information, 1 will state that tbe present building was erected by subscription in 1856; tbat Aaron Hall was tbe contractor, and his books show that the Baptist paid towards the erection of said Church the autn of $58.25, the Pres? byterians paid $181.75, which w8h insuffi? cient to complete the Church by about $50, which sum Aaron Hnll furnished himself. The Joseph Hall referred to was my father. He was a Baptist, liberal und charitable in his views. I am very proud of his memory. "Flat" related several things, but for? got, to tell tbat they bad a 'Squire and a Nomrv Public, both of whom together f ini .-t comp^"??, a parable.

Governor Tillman usually likes to take knotty questions by the horn and deal with them summarily, but he has just given up one that he does not hesitate to say is too much for him. All will remember that some time ago he received a requisition from the Gov? ernor of Georgia for the extradition of a white man named Simpson, who resides . in Anderson County. The case was per? haps the most peculiar one that has ever come before any Governor, involving questions of interstate comity that have probably never before been raised. The charge that the man was wanted on was assault and battery. He shot at a man who was in a boat in the middle of the Savannah river, he standing on the South Carolina shore. When the Governor received the re? quisition he was sorely puzzled and an? swering the Governor of Georgia that he would give it his most careful attention he referred the questions involved to the Attorney General for his investigation and opinion. It also proved too much for that official, and he yesterday gave a verbal opinion to the Governor, the substance of which was to advise him, that inas? much as the case involved so many ques? tion on fine points as to the jurisdic? tion of States, that had never been adju? dicated by any court or tribunal, it would be best to honor the requisition and let the parties fight it out and settle it in either the courts of Georgia or this State. The Governor has decided to act in ac? cordance with this opinion and the re? quisition will bo honored.?Columbia State. A Shocking Accident. Princessanne, Md., July 17.?Chris? topher C. Ball, a farmer living about a mile and a half from here on Manokin River, yesterday morning was the happy father of nine children, six boys and three girls. Yesterday afternoon four of his boys were drowned while swimming in-the river back of his farm. The names of the victims are: Willie, aged 10; Lewis, 15;. Thomas, 12, and John, 10. These, with their brother, George, 11 years, went in swimming. George was the last to go in. When he began to wade out he saw his brothers were in trouble. He hesitated. Ho thou saw his brothers drown, one after anoth? er, within twenty feet of him, and he was poweiless to assist them. The current was running very strong, and the water was very deep. / The only person besides the boy to witness the sad accident was a colored man on a hill some distance away, but he was too far off to give assistance. The bodies of the boys were recovered during the night. TiUman's $3 Foil Tax. Governor Tillman advocates the ?3 poll tax. It is ill-advised, because: 1. It is at variance with tho theory of taxation, viz: that he who has much pays much; he who has little pays little; he who has nothing pays nothing?henco it is equitable and unjust: 2. Because a largo per cent, of tho ne? groes would evade it?every whito man would have it to pay. Whito men have a permanent habitation?negroes move about every year and thousands escape tho poll tax. 3. Because it makes the burden too great upon the poor. It is easy for the rich to pay?it is hard for the poor. The man worth ?100 pays the same as a man worth 3100,000. 4. It makes the poor pay for the educa? tion of the rich, while the"reverse should be. 5. Because if $3 is better than SI, then ?5 would be better than ?3, and ?10 better than ?5. If taxes are to be raised this way, abolish our present system and levy the amount por capita. 6. Because many negroes would go to jail for a while rather than pay the ?3, and the taxpayers must pay their board while in jail. We fail utterly to see how it relieves the poor man.?Abbeville Press ami Banner. ? Pedestrian Stouo walked from San Francisco to New York, 3,324 miles, in 28 days.

Tho Macon Telegraph givos an in? teresting description of > tho farm of Mr. ?W.O. Wadley, in Burke County, Georgia. He has 2,000 acres in corn, 1,700 acres in cotton and a splendid Jierd of cattle. He raises everything on a big scale. Ho has already threshed 2,500 bushels of oats from this year's crop and has several barns filled to overflowing with oats in the shock besides. One of tho most in? teresting things about the placo is the re? sult of Mr. Wadley's experiments in the matter of raising earn. Tho rows in a portion of his crop are six feet, another seven feet and another ten feot apart. The corn in the ten-feet rows was given eighteen inches in the drill, and this promises by far the best yield of the lot. Mr. Wadley's idea is that corn must havo plenty of room for the air and light to strike it, or it will be dwarfed. mit m nimm ,??????^m??ia? ANNOUNCEMENTS. For Clerk of Court.
