Bank robbers on bicycle? are the latest Illinois novelty, though crooks on bicy cles are quite common everywhere. According to Prof. Bell everybody will soon be able to fly.

South Carolina will have seventy five delegates present. George W. Peck, o? Cleveland, Ohio, who spends bis winters i::i Asheville, has offered to give $2,000 to a fund for the erection of a monumect in honor of the late Senator Vance, cf North Caroli na. The Charleston Netos and Courier re ports that the committee engaged in the work of securing funds fi:* a monument to be erected in memory of the battle of Cowpens has secured the necessary amount and the monument is soon to be erected._ ^_ General P. M. B. Yoonar, United States Ministerin Guatamala, died in New York Monday at noon. He was born in Spar tauburg in 1S39, and has besn a promi nent porsonage for a number of years. en. Young was a relation of tho Butler ily of Sooth Carolina. Cyrus B. Watson, the Democratic nom inee for Governor of No tb Carolina, is 53 years old, and a lawyer; has made a cred itable record in the Legislature of his State, and is a very effective stump speak er. He is said to have began thc life of a plough boy and to have made bis way steadily to the front. Tho'old soldiers who went to Richmond last week had a royal time, and many of them went over the same scenes ibat they did during the stirring days of '6*. An derson County sent ber full sbare, and many of tho old soldiers have seeu Rich mond for the last time. The tribute paid to Gen Wade Hampton was ii worthy honor to a noble leader. We imagine that if Senator Irby was still in the race tor the Senate be would make it warm for John Gary Evans. Duncan pours in bot shot, but he ls not as strong aa Irby and not accustomed to fighting on the stamp. Irby hates Evans with all the venom that is in bis heart, and would not let ao opportunity pass without making a ?trike. Senator lill tuan, Gov. Evans, Secretary Tompkins and Sheriff Bradbam, of the S>rth Carolina delegation, are stopping at the Sherman House in Chicago and are paying $20 a day for their rooms. The other members hunted up cheaper board ing houses, os it was impossible for them to pay that amount, because they had nothing to do with the commissions in the bond deal._ And little Johnny Watta has confessed that he got drunk when he was away from home representing the sovereign State of South Caroliua. That was bad enough, but to come before the people and ask for a continuance of their suf frage is something that most men would decline to do. Johnny should first take the Keeley cure, so that when he goes off again he will not diegrace his State. At the campaign meeting at Hampton last week Gov. Evans admitted that he got part of the commissions in the bond deal, but declined to state bow much he received. Duncan bad pushed bim so olose that be bad to make the confession. And yet on the heels of this the Tillman ites at the meeting endorsed the action of Evans for the coarse that he had taken. Since Bates and Evans have made their ^^^Bfe?gjon^there is nothing left for Till man to do but to come out and tell how much he got. Captain E. B. Fuller is the commandant of cadets detailed by the governmental Clemson College. He is a member of the Seventh Cavalry, and every sane man knows that an army officer has to be ac quainted with military tactics, but John Gary Watts says thai; "Fuller knows nothing about tactics." Captaia Fuller knows more military science in on" min ute than Watts does in a hundred ^eara, ano yet be' is the Adjutant General of j South Carolina. Watts has the consola tion of knowing one thing, however, and that is that be got gloriously drunk iu Atlanta during the Exposition, and in Washington during Cleveland's inaugu ration. The National Democratic Convention assembled at Chicago yesterday at noon. Senator Hill waa recommended as tempo rary chairman by a vote of 27 to 23. Sen ator Daniel was recommended by the minority. Who will be the nominee for - President is the question that no one *seems to be able to answer. Bland and Boies have perhaps the best showing, while a number of the delegations favor Senator Teller. The South Carolina dele gation are remaining quiet to use their vote it necessary for Tillman. Teller and Tillman is the ticket they want. From present indications it looks as if the Con vention will remain in session for some days. The fight will be a warm one be tween the silver and gold factions, but the platform will undoubtedly be for free silver. Senator Hill seemed to think that the action pf the National Committee in electing him Chairman would not go. There are any number of Vice-Presiden cy possibilities, but these receive no at tention. The big righi will be for the Presidency. The campaign meeting at Walterboro last Wednesday was the most disgrace ful that bas ever been held in South Car olina. A mob of white men howled down Solicitor .Bellinger and attempted to do violence to him only because he did bis sworn duty in prosecuting the Broxton Bridge lynchers. All the time that this disgraceful scene waa being carried on, Gov. Evans sat immovable on the stand, while at a word from him the men would have probably stopped. The Broxton Bridge lynchers have become well known in' this State. They were tried at Walter boro last Febraary and managed to come clear in one case by having the jury pack ed or resorting to some other dishonest means. Solicitor Bellinger fought the case to the bitter end, and when he saw that he could not secure a fair verdict in Colleton he asked for a change of venue to Aiken. We sincerely trust that every law-abiding citizen in the judicial circuit will go to the polls aud cast a solid ballot for Mr. Bellinger, because he has shown to the world that he will do his duty in the face of every dunger. Such conduct as that by the friends of the men under indictment cannot help but prejudice their caso before the pbople. A day of retribution will como at last, and then Solicitor Bellinger will carry off the hon ors* Dr. Gardner, of tho First Baptist Church at Greenville, delivered a powerful ser mon on Sunday night, 28th ult, on the cheapness of human life. He gave sta tistics which went to show that crime is rampant in that county, and men would shoot down another with little provoca tion. Tuesday the Greenville New3 pub lished a synopsis of the sermon, and in the same issue told that a mob of white men were in the city the night before at tempting to lynch a prisoner; and that one woman shot four times at another; aud that a mau bad tried to murder a woman. Such was the record of a day. Io Anderson County, on the other hand, it is seldom that a murder is committed, but the people are toiling to advance their own interests and that of the Coun G?n. Wade. Hampton, received the grandest ovation of any of the old Con federate officers at the Reuuion in Rich mond last week. The special correspon dent of the Atlanta Constitution, in refer ring to the ovation, says : "When Gener al Wade Hampton, the daring cavalry chieftain of the Confederacy, entered the Convention hall to-day there was a dem onstration the like of which io ail its pa thetic sympathies was never witnessed by a hero since Napoleon was greeted by the old guard. And when General Hamp ton stood amid a cyclone of old flags, tat tered and torn by the ravages of bullets, and said ; 'Ab, boys, I came this time be cause I think it will be the last time I'll ever see you till we meet beyond the riv er,'the scene was like unto pandem?ni um." When we read of the noble tribute paid to our grand old hero it thrilled our heart with Joy. Yes, he will soon cross the river, but his name and fame will ever be a record on the pages of history. ?mm 9 m - Dr. J. William Jones hasjust published a tschool history of the United States from a Southern standpoint. Heretofore near ly all the histories unid in the Southern schools have been written by Northern men, and there is more or less bias ex pressed, a?pecially in regard to the late war. A copy of the took was eept to Col. John B. Patrick, of this city, and he has made the following Bhort statement of the work: "I have read with pleasure the School History of the United States by Rev. J. Wm. Jones, D. D. The arrangement into parts and paragraphs is good, while the introduction with the body of the work of matter which is omit ed in some histori?e, and in others ?3 printed in footnotes orin small type, is an improvement. In speakiug of is sues that have unhappily divided the dif ferent sections of the Union, the author is fair, and for this reason, if for no other, the book ought to be used in the schools, both North and South. The btyle is clear and attractive and will not, I thluk, fail to interest students who have any taste for historical studies. On the whole I regard the book as a work of superior merit as a school history. It is our in tention to use it in the Patrick Military Institute." The Confederate Reunion at Richmond last week was the greatest gathering of old veterans that has taken place since the war. There were probably one hun dred thousand strangers in the city, one third of whom were Confederate veterans, and the meeting together of so many old soldiers, who had not seen"each other for over thirty years, was an event never to be forgotten by those present. All of the old soldiers were anxious to see Rich mond one more time before "crossing over the river," and from all over the South and West they came by the thou sands. They found Richmond as hospit able as during the war. They fed aud lodged from 10,000 to 15,000 people every day fr6e, and the provisions were til that could be desired. Tho en thusiasm was great, and reminded one very much of wartimes The old soldiers spent their time visiting the battlefields around the city, walking through the cemeteries and taking in the Bights of the town. On Thursday the laying of the cor ner stone of the monument to Jefferson Davis took place. All places of business were closed and the city turned out by the thousands to see the procession aud witness the ceremonies, and it was esti mated that 200,000 people were in the procession and along the line of march. Several thousand uniformed soldiers from almost every State in the South headed the procession, and it was a grand Bight. It is impossible to give anything like a detailed account of the occasion, and we will content ourselves by saying that we found Richmond almost a new city. Our old camp grounds near the city are now covered by houses, and very few places looked as they did thirty-five years ago. The old Capital Park was the only place that had remained unchanged. We could go on and write for boura about Rich mond and its hospitable people, but suffice it to say that, in our opinion, only Virginians could or would en tertain 75,000 or 100,000 strangers aa they did on this occasion. If any one present did no?? have a good time, it was certainly not the fault of Richmond. God bless Richmond and the people of Virginia, in the prayer of one who will never regret or forget being present on this glorious occasion. Tillman in Chicago. WASHINGTON, July 3.-A dispatch from Chicago describes Senator Tillman as be appears in the Convention throng. Senator Tillman is here, achieving plenty -?f notoriety .of the unique, if not envia ble, Ttllmanefque kind. He preserved all of his individualities. His clothes are full of wrinkles, his white vest bas been ironed and ironed until the margins are jagged, his bat is old. He says almost everybody is wearing old hats these days. His delega' ion says it is a relic of bis Gu bernatorial days, when he bad the lawn of the Governor's Mansion ploughed and planted with corn. He hates the very appearance of plutocracy, and condemns style as he condemns the flower beds and smooth grass of hii official home. The ruralists passing the place pointed to the tassels and ears with joy. Up in bis room at the Sherman House he rollb upon the bed during tbe day with his b..ot* upon the white counterpane. "Hungry stomachs and hard times are conditions which kill argument and refuse to b? sat isfied with theories." He says this is a typically Tillman expression: 4 There is a whirlwind brewing. The people are rising. The rule of the aristocrat is com ing to an end. It came to an end in New York State when the farmers threw off the bhackles of their oppressors and drove the money changers from the temple of their liberties. We will have a revolt of which the French revolution was but child's piny if conditions are not changed. We, who are near to the people, can see it coming. There are days of devastation ahead." He thunders dramatically and bis followers nod their heads in approval. Tillman is being courted by some ofthe gold men. They would like to see the .diver men nominate Tillman for Presi dent, as they would like to Bee the free silver movement handicapped by the candidate if possible.-Sp -, cial lo Naos and Courier. A Gavel From Fort Hill. CLEMSON, July 3.-Some time p.go Mr. John F. Calhoun, of this place, conceived the idea that a gavel made at Fort Hill would be a very appropriate thing to send to the National Dnmocratic Conven tion just as one had been sent to the late Republican Convention from the home of Henry Clay. So Prof. McGee ap proving the idea interested himself and set about to collect twenty different kinds of wood urown on Fort Hill to be used in the making. The gavel made-' f red . edar cut from a tree in the . ff the old mansion and is inlaid wit., e ghteen varieties of wood while the handle is of bl*?k locust A silver plate, fastened with four screw?, is put diagonally on the side opposite the handle and bears the inscription 'From the home of John C. Calhoun, Clemson College, S. C., 1H%." The gave> was made ny Mr. W. M- Yager, instructor in drawing, is well proportion ed and is a very pretty piece ol' work. It was forwarded this afternoon by express ? to Chicago, care of Senator Tiliman. Keeping Track of "Our" CroTfd. CHICAGO, July 5.-The calendar was about tbe only thing in Chicago to indi cate that this was Sunday. Of course it is an ordinary thing to have the theatres, base ball eames and bar rooms open on Sunday, but to day the sound of the Pres idential boomers, the bum and push of delegates and their followers, and a hun dred other things prevented the day from being recognized as Sunday. Indeed, it is doubtful if many here to-day remem bered that thiti was Sunday, instead ot hearing sermons there were throngs in and around the hotels listening to heated political discussions. Two men would get to talking and a few friends would come up to bear the argument, and it would wind up by a half hour argument listened to by the people. The lobbies of the Auditorium, the Sherman and Palmer hotels looked like rushes for bargain counters, and it was a matter of push and time to get from the door to the stnirway. A National Convention isdecidedly some thing bigger than a State Convention. Many States already have more delegates and boomers here than attend the South Carolina conventions in a dozen years. The boomers come in by the train loads with brass bands at their head. Well, the crowd is immense and growing, but there are no indications of any gouging by any of the hotels or public institu tions. What the chances of tho candidates aro lt would be as easy to say as when there will be double-enders running between Charleston and Sullivan's Island. The indications, however, are that Boies is losing ground, while Bland is gaining. It would not be eafe, however, to W8ger on either candidate. The silver men are accusing B iee' lieutenants of coquetting with the sound money forces, and the in tention of the silver leaden* is to hold a caucus to-morrow and knife any candi date who will not submit bl s name to the caucus. Senator Tillman is one of the movers in the caucus, and insists that he wants no weak kneed silver man who owes his nomination to gold votes. Bland'o boom seems to be holding its shape, although there is a grea. deal of talk in favor of Teller on the ground that ho can carry the West. In ease the fight ing gets severe an outsider may be run in. All now concede that the platform will be for free silver at 16 to 1. The eil yer people Bay they will not have Hill or any other gold man for temporary chair man or anything else, but they wAnt a distinctive Free Silver Convention. Very little is beard of Senator Tillman's boom. I.t costs a great deal of money to maintain and vitalize a boom ata Convention, and Senator Tillman bas found no Hanna or Wetmore or Whitney. The" talk now 1H of others than Tillman, although the sug gestion has been made that a good cry would be "Tillers' and toilers' team, Till man and Teller." Senator Tillman will not be adverse to this. He has been at tending all the silver conference?, and seoms.to be quite in demand. He bsd many callers during the day, among them a delegation of women representing a la bor organization. A number of promi nent delegates called on Senator Tillman to get bis views on platforms and candi dates. Senator Tillman told them that be bad no candidate, bad made no pledges, ane would make none. He wanted a man nominated who would win, and, while be does not say so, be may have a pre sentment that he is that individual. He never talks of this, Governor Evans, who is here together with other South Carolina delegates, will be expected to push^be Tillmau-Teller, tiller and toiler idea. The South Carolina delegation arrived here at 5 o'clock via the Pennsylvania Koad. Governor Evans, Sheriff' Bradbam and Col. J. D. M. Shaw went to the Sher man House and will occupy a room with Senator Tillman. The other fourteen members of tb? delegation went to Oak land Hotel on 39th street with Chairman Tompkins Tbe delegates all Ray that they bad a pleasant trip, and that they met with cheers for Tillman ?11 along the route. The coach was decorated with a couple of 16 to 1 or bust banners with a pitchfork insignia. One of these banners was taken from tbe car at Knoxville. The South Carolina delegation has been called to meet at headquarters at the Sherman to-nigbr, but there is hardly anything for tbe delegation to do. It is under the unit rule, and is instructed to vote for Tillman for President, and will do BO, unless there is a caucus nominee **y the free silver men, which Senator Tillman favors. Incase there is no cau cus the present intention is to keep Till man's name before the Convention so as to make it possible that be will be struck by the Presidential lightning. Senato Tillmao dined to-day with Mr. J. W. Gregory, who came here from South Car olina iu 18(16 and bas mr.de money. Sen ator Tillman is bedecked with badges like the average delegate. He has a pitch fork, a hand-painted 16 to 1, a free Cuba medallion and a free silver 16 tn 1 or bust outton. Col. Larry Gantt and Mr. Lem uel Hill, of Spartanburg, accompanied the delegates in their special car. Mr. Donaldson, executive committee man from South Carolina, is stopping at the Palmer House. The national com mittee will bold its first meeting to-mor row. The South Carolina delegation din not meet to-night as expected. Tho dele gates have been beseiged by the Bland and Boies workers on the basis that Till man's vote will be entirely complimenta ry if polled at all. The delegation has boen provided with neat silk badges. Newt and Courier. On What Docs Cosar Feed! "But when the clerk in the office of my Secretary of State criticises my Adminis tration it's time for me to speak." There are the contemptuous words that Governor Evans is reported to have ut tered after Mr. John T. Duncan, of New berry, and candidate for United States Senate, had completed his arraignment of the present Administration, at Manning, last Monday. In an European country, where there isa puffed-up aristocracy and the "com mon people" constitute a bootlicking herd, the result of such a remark would have been withering humiliation. But in South Carolina all men are entitled to the ?jame rights and privileges. Tillman used to say that public officers are merely servants and that tbe people are masters. Is there any office in this State too high for any citizen to aspire to? A few years ago John Gary Evans was a comparative ly unknown, highflying lawyer about Aiken, with only an indifferent practice. More on account of favor and accident than on account of any inherent worth, he has been raised to the high office ot Gov ernor of the sovereign State of South Car olina. Such a posiMon is calculated to make any man feel puffed up, it is true; but the moment he shews signs of being puffed up there is evidence th.it there has been a mistake in bis selection. John T. Duncan is a graduate of Fur man University, a farmer, and Ex-Repre sentative in the Legislature, and is now chief clerk in the office of the Secretary of State. He has more than once shown himself to be possessed of convictions of his own, and the moral anJ physical courage to uphold those convictions". And what did Duncan do under the present circumstances? Deliberately ris tug to his feet and looking the Governor squarely in the eye, with quiet but omi nous determination, be asked, "Do you mean any personal reflection ?" In the indignant manner ol the governor there was a Budden change. With all the suavity possible, he mildly replied, "I meant nothing personal ; I am glad to have opposition." Are all men equal in this country of ours? If so, why this remark of the Governor's? If not, who, in the incident related, appears to be possessed of the most genuine manhood, the man who is Governor of South Carolina, or the man * ho is "only a clerk in the office of his Secretary of Statu ?"- Yorkvitle Enquirer, Reform. Ile Was a Good Soldier. . Hence B. Broome, who died at Hickory Grove, the other day, was one of the heroes of the late war. He was color bearer of the Seventeenth Regiment and his comrades say that a braver man never drew the breath of life. There was a re-union of the 17th regi ment at Blacksburg several years ago, and the speaker was F. W. McMaster, the regiment's old colonel. The soldiers had just lined up to a long table prepara tory to attacking a magnificent banquet that had been prepared, and the reporter remembers that just before divine bless lugs were asked on the food, etc., Colo nel McMaster said, "Tell Heuce Broome to come up this way ; his place ls at the head of the table." As two or three old veterans led a tall sunburned man, dressed ina worn suit of rough home spun to the from, the reporter wondered what lt all meant and asked tho question. "Hence Broom!" replied an enthusi astic veteran. "He was the color bearer of the 17'ih regiment and was one of the bravest meu in Lee's army, and tho men who kept up with bim were always where shotand shell were flying thickest. He did not tbiuk any more of sticking tho stHlf of his colors into tho enemy's breastworks than he did of going to the spring after water; but if he was Jever even wounded I do not know it. Ouce, when in great danger of being captured, he hid his colors in his bosom and when the boys would joke him about it, he would fiwear that he would eat every stitch of them before he would give them up to the enemy,"- Yorkville Enquirer, (xov. Eians Confesses. J COLUMBIA, S. C., July ji.-?=The meeting at hampton to-day dkHiot develop into a riot, aa was expected last night. Carroll Simms, opposing Solicitor Bellinger, Baid the implication tbat be was tbe candidate .f the lawless element was unfair to bim and an insult to the people. Solicitor Bellinger described the duties of a law (.fficer as even second to those of the master of the gospel. In but two cases out of four hundred convictions, many of them being lriends or relatives of friends, he had been condemned by the sufferers for doing his duty. The Broxton bridge cases had made him en emies and his opponent had been prom ised victory because of that case. If he had done aught wrong, whynot appeal to tho supreme court ? For the name of law and order, be hoped he would bo re jected. There were fifteen men there from the Broxton bridge section where Hannah Walkerand Ishara Kearse wore whipped to death, but the friends of Bel linger were too numerous for them to attempt a demonstration against bim. Mr. Duncan opposing Governor Evanp, j to-day received "the first hearty applause ol the campaign. Governor Evana said he would answer the oft-repeated question of "Who got the commissions?" by say ing he cot a small part cf them. Duncan asked him why he had hidden the fact from the people for three years and in 1894 had allowed Governor Till man to be accused of having a part in the bond deal and remained silent. Evans retorted that Tillman bad always been able to take care of himself and needed no defense from him. If Rbind had paid $40,000, be said, the State would have made a bnrgain. Governor EvaDS was interrogated by prominent men in the audience as to the time of his connection with Rbind, and he did not answer positively. Governor Evans scornfully asked Dun can why bo bad entered this race when he stood no chance of being elected. Duncan-"Because I thought it my duty to show you up; to show up the young man who had fallen by the way side." (Loud cheers). Governor Evans, on taking the stand, was received in silence. He devoted his whole time to the bond-matter and was applauded at the end. With this the campaigners took a recess from to-dav until July 13tb, in order to attend the Chicago convention. Calling off the Campaign. COLOMBIA, July 5.-It is very likely that, after tbe return of tbe South Carolina delegation to Chicago the campagn meet ings will be called off. There can hardly be a doubt that tbe people would not ob ject and it is certain tbat the candidates are willing, if the voters are. A gentle man who bau the confidence of the politi cal powers, gives the information tbat it is realized that the people are taking lit tle or no interest in the campaign and that it would be a useless expenso to keep up the campaign Candidates who have opposition do not agree with that idea and they will in all likelihood oppose any shutting oft of an opportunity to address the "dear people." But the campaign bas developed so little interest that tho people generally have bad enough of it and some have written letters to members of the executive committee ex pressing disgust at the personalities in dulged*in in the debates and calling upon the committee to stop the meetings unless issues are discussed. It is reported among politicians ".bat the committee will meet soon after the delegation comes from Chicago and consider the matter of call ing off the campaign entirely. One or two candidates will object, but a majority of them will be glad to quit. From what can be learned of the sentiment of the people they will not object.-Ncivs and Courier. Dealing in Futures and Options. The Missouri Supreme Court has af? firmed the constitutionality of the State statute against dealing in futures and op tions. It was attacked as being special legislation and cou'rary to the provision tbat no person shall be deprived of prop erty without due process of ?aw. The Court bolds that the law is not special be cause il relates to persons or things as a class rather than to'particular persons or things of a class. It need not embrace all kinds of personal property, since not all kinds are the subjects of option dealing. It is sufficient if it embraces all such ar ticles and classes of personal property aa are ordinarily employed in such dealing. As to the second point, tbe Court says ibat tbe Constitution secures liberty LO contract in any lawful manner, but lt does not granta license to gamble. If the Legislature is of the opinion that option dealing is fimp o gambling, it has the right to prohibitif, for the Constitution leaves it entirely to that body to draw the line between legitimate contracts and gambling transactions The case affords mother illustration of the troth that laws may be anachronistio and mischievous and inexpedient without being repugnant to constitutional law, Bays the Chicago Post. Dueling in options can never be suppressed by law, and the prejudice against it is based on ignorance of actual commercial needs and conditions, but the appeal should be made to tho Legis lature, not to the Courts. Hints to Cyclists. A Columbia physician recently ad dressed us in protest against the unscien tific manner in which many of the rapid ly increasing number of women cyclists in this city were using their wheels. We suggested that he should put his protest and advice in writing, and he has done so briefly, as follows under the caption ! of "Hints to Women Cyclists": Do not ride if you have valvular hpart troubles. A weak heart need not prove a bar to cycling; on the contrary, this con dition is benefited by a proper use of the wheel. Have your handle-bars well up-turned and sit erect. A stooped position, even slightly so, is unbecoming as well as in jurious. Consult your physician about your sad dle, and do not ride another day without his approval of its suitability Do not ride up a steep incline nor against a strong wind. , Ride fast enough to receive the exhila rating affects of speed, but careful ly avoid taxing your strength and breath. The rythm of inhalation and exhalation should be sustained without effort. Observe these suggestions and your cycling will prove healthful, graceful and joyful. These suggestions are few, but they cover the essentials, and we commend them freely to the scores of fair riders who have lately adopted the wheel. The sum of the whole matter is that neither women nor men should ride bicycles without taking the advice of competent physicians as to their freedom from heart disease, the proper posture to be assumed and the suitability of the saddle to be used. Bicycling under proper conditions is a most healthful and vitalizing exer cise, but it would surprise the average layman to find how many pages of tbe medical journals are devoted to the dis cussion of ills and Injuries resulting from reckless and un-cien tifie riding. In probably no city of equal size in the country is wheeling so rapidly extending as in Columbia, and it is time that a note of warning should be sounded against the evils which may follow if th? so who ride shall ride without judgment.-The State.

Mu EDITOR: I wish to say a few words through your columns in regard to the coming campaign meetings in Anncrnnn County. We have all read with disgust of tbe manner of procedure u-ed in the State campaign meetings-bandying the lie. slinging mud, etc., with very little rega-d being given to the various issues of the day. Candidates seem to think it their whole duty to besmirch a rival's character, and thus lepaen bia chances nf election. Verily, the whole thing is pitched on a very low plane, and thoa we have a true index to the characters of those who are so engaged, for the tune of the meetings can not rise above the level of their makers. We do not wish to see this spirit mani fested In our County meetings, and we do not think we will, for there are good men running for each office, and if any one at tempt? to stoop from the position of a free born gentleman of South Carolina in order to hnrl insinuation and slander at a fellow candidato, wiby lat the people of our Coun ty let it be known that their suffrage can not be secured by euch methods.

The cause of this .. VDeclaration is : Those who aspire to be the biggest people in this line, at times, seem profoundly ignorant of the fact that we, also, in a modest way, claim to be "in it." We do not allege that there is an "iron clad" combination against us, though "Straws show which way the wind blows," and a number of incidents and circumstances might point strongly in that direction. We assert and advertise nothing but what we can and will fully maintain. We do say, however, that it is very singular and suggestive * that we so often hear, inci dentally, that our competitors, when they miss a sale, advise the would-be customer to go somewhere else than to us, and we cannot recall a single in stance where we have been informed that one has been so sent us. This thing has gone on so loDg that it is becoming monotonous. Very recently a gentle man came into our Store and asked to see a fine Suit. He was soon fitted up, and expressed great surprise at finding the best line of Clothing in An derson.. He stated to the Salesman who waited on him that he first went into (say) Mr. B.'s Store, and not finding what he wanted, and being somewhat a stranger here, asked where he could most likely get suited, and was told either at C's or D.'s. He went io C's, and failing there, upon making the same inquiry, was directed to B. or D. Going to D.'s with the same result and upon making the same inquiry he was directed to go either to B. or C. So, whether intentional and premeditated and pre-arranged or otherwise, Ihis gentleman said these people made an impression on his mind that lhere were no other Clothing Houses in Anderson outside of these three. He, however, (luckily for him) chanced to meet a man by the wayside who informed him that old man "A." was still in the ring and not even disfigured, to he came to our Store with the result as above stated. We can conscientiously say that if we know ourselves we bear not the slightest malice or ill-feeling toward any living man, and further, that we would be glad of the prosperity of all our neighbors. We have always, at least, tried to accord lair treatment to others in competition and otherwise, and whilst we give little heed to a great many things we hear, still we have overwhelming proof to the fact that, at least, we have not been treated in accordance with the Golden Rule, We have never thought it necessary for one to endeavor to pull down an other in order to rise himself. This kind of thing, if persevered in, which seems inevitable, will prove quite unprofitable to those of us engaged in the .conflict, but will result in a corresponding gain to the purchasers. Hithertoj we have paid but little attention to the attitude of our competitors towards us, but we hereby, openly, serve due and timely notice on all whom it may concern, that old "A." has awoke from his slumber, shaken himself, scratched open his eyes, and from now on can be counted strictly "in it." So, in addition to the big drives in Summer Dry Goods, Notions, Ladies' and Misses Slippers and Oxfords, etc., advertised last week, we this week cut deep in prices on Clothing and Furnishings. The Cash will cut an unusual figure in our Store henceforth. This is to make room, and is preparatory to laying in such a Stock for Fall that for quality, quantity, variety and price will astonish the natives and force the conviction on our neighbors that we are indeed "in it." "Lay on, McDuflf," etc. The longest pole reaches the persimmons. We heartily appreciate and thank the people for their very liberal pa tronage in the past, and assure them that, now being possesed of more essen tial "ingredients" of success, we will be enabled to serve them better. A? "free silver or bust" seems to be the prevailing sentiment of thia country now, so more "trade or bust" is hereby adopted as our new motto. Very respectfully, Ft* S. HILL. Agent Butterick's Patterns. Thone 59. FUNNY TO US, BUT MONEY TO-YOU. 18 Boxes Imported Matches for 5c. We want to see how long it will take us to get one thousand dollars out of our Match business. Potter's Al Fancy Table Oil Cloth, best known to the civilized world, at 15c per yardf A big lot bought at reduced price, and you get the benefit. These are the 25c. goods, and must not be compared with the common stuff offered by other parties at similar or even higher prices. 3,000 gallons Jug and Jar Ware to go at 8c. per gallon. What do you say to that? Eh ! One hundred thousand pounds first-class Spices, thrown upon the market suddenly by a large house in a bursting condition, is enough to create a stir in the market, and we are in it head and ears. We shall use our good luck in these goods as sledge-hammers to pound competition over the head with. If you bear somebody holler you may know we hit bim. Goods are warrant ed strictly pure and absolutely fresh. So here goes : Black Pepper, Race Ginger, Cloves, Allspice, all at 10c. per pound. Strictly pure ground Pepper and Allspice at 15c. per pound.

One thousaud yards in one pattern Turkey Red Table Cloth enough to cover four hundred large size tables. Do you want to be one of Anderson's four hundred ? If so, now you have the chance at a cost of 15c. per yard. Do other people ask you 20c. and 25c. for these goods ? Then don't buy, but make your way as straight as an arrow to the TEN CENT STORE, where a free silver dollar is counted sound money, and gets a dol lar's worth every time. Do you want a Water Cooler?
