I'.i'i : Senator Till man (hink.s thai tliv questions which arc engaging (lie attention of our pcoplcoiight ehiel ly to he sett led by the Legislature, sind are not questions the solution of which ran he iiiiluenced l>y State ollicors, und I am inclined to think he is, lor once iii Ir's life, right. Then it is pertinent lor us to inquire of the candidates who aspire to represent Anderson Count.*. :n the Legislature, a leu questions. Now do these gentlemen stand on the question of child hihor in factories.' This i- becoming :i burningquestion in Anderson County. The rapid in crease in factories points to the. fart that in two ycaisthis L'on ut y will lu be dominated by the "faelon vote." l'ici 11M 0111. I'el/er, Williaiiiston. I'" lion, lionea l'ath, Anderson So. !. No.'.', \o. ' '>. ( M r. COX, Uivei siil? . These are die cotton mills alone. Tin n .ne vari oils other manufacturing .nul em poiatc concerns in the Count v. Mo we want .1 race of tallow-laced, stunted, half developed people raised in Anderson.' If we; don't, then we want lo prohibit chilo labor in factories, and 1. for one, want to know how oui legislators stand on I he subject, It won"! he many years before the (i^lit between "country vole" ami 'factory vole" is <ui in Anderson County. I would like to a>k, furthermore, how our candidates stand on the fac tional issues, which once divided us.' Two years ago everybody proclaimed that factionalism (it there is such a word.i was dead, lint this year Men Till man is on the stump, and for his own purposes lie is bent on raising the factional question again, lb- lias no opposition lor re-election, and he does not discuss any national questions, but he goes about "raising rain" in the State. 1 wonder if he remembers how his followers insulted <:encrai 1 lamp ton at Aiken in I.V00, because he came to Aikcu, in response to an invitation, t ? ? make a speech on campaign day.' Is it true, Mr. Editor, t hai Tillman, whilst professing not to be siding with any particular candidate in the race for Governor has passed around the word that the "faithful1' must vote for Gary? It is so reported, and it seems from current comment on the street to be true. Well, Mr. Tillman tried in the race between Karle aud Evans to dictate to the people of Anderson how they should vote, nut he failed misera bly. And if I know anything of the independent, thinking people of this County he will fail again. The day has gone by when lu; can crack his whip over the heads of Anderson peo ple and make them dance to his will. Is it true that a ticket for County offices has been arranged^ if not. sug gested, by the little "bosses" in the Court House.' It is whispered around, tor instance, that there were not. enough men to till out the legislative ticket. Is this "ring rule.'" It looks so to a man up a tree. Do the people of this County believe that the preachers are a set of liars and hypocrites.' An "insolent hierarchy," because they dare to entertain opinions which do not accord with those of Senator Tillman.' Do the people be lieve that Hen Tillman knows more about religion, morality, virtue, truth and honesty than do Bishop Duncan, Kishon Canors. Dr. (?'irdnor, Dr. Car lisle, Mr. Uichnrdson, and others like them.' If our people believe that, then Ictus shut up our Churches and wel come tho sentiment which prevailed during the black days of the French Revolution, and let us admit that Till man is bigger and greater than moral ity aud religion, superior to law, and above criticism. Mr. Editor, one of the greatest Com moners and Domocrats, though in name a Republican, that this country ever produced, said: "You may tool some of the people some of the time, you may tool all the people some of the time, but you cnu't tool all the people all the time." We have got iu this County a brave peonle who won't be led by the nose. They intend to vote for their honest convictions, ami Tillman can't fool them any longer. Lanci:. Corner Creek News.

It was our pleasure to attend the re union of old soldiers at Cars well Insti tute last Wednesday. A large crowd of 'some 2,000 people were there to bave a big time, and they had it, too Excellent speeches were made by Col. E. M H?ck er and J. B. Tillman in the forenoon, and in the afternoon the commutes turned things over to the office-seekers. Hon. Julius E. Boggs was tho first speaker, end he mado an excellent talk concerning the late war between the States. Next came his able opponent, J. A. Mooney, who waa followed by Col. John T. 81oan, candidate for Lieutenant Governor. Next came the prohibition candidate. Col. Jas. A. Hoyt, which ended the speech mak ing, except among young people, who certainly enjoyed themselves hugely. It was our good fortune to take dinner with that "big-hearted" candidate, Hon. John B. Leverett, and we euro had a good din ner. If Col. Hoyt is elected to the office of Governor, and we get prohibition and it prohibits the sale of whiskey in South Carolina, it will no doubt be something grand to behold, and will mark a new er? in the closing of this nineteenth cen tury. Bis election may be sure, but to prohibit the sale of intoxicating liquors may not be counted as assured. There fore, as the present solution is a very good ens, and as MoSweeney's administration is very creditable, we aay hurrah for the present incumbent. This County went solid for prohibition two years ago, but from the way the voters voted In Ben Tillman's hand primary at Ande.-son it seems to us that they have changed their minds to some extent, and dispensary is still favored to a large measure.

Uli! <;<ul, let thy comforting angel follow closely in the footsteps of the angel of death, that lie may bind up the bleed ing, broken hearts that death has pass ed. Let thy richest ami omnipotent guidance rest upon Mrs. Keasler's two daughters, who are thus left with all the cares anil anxieties of bringing up a number of younger brothers and sisters. Peace, daughters, your moth er is resting. The election is drawing near, and we notice that some are already begin ning to boost their favorite candidates. It is not our intention to boost any par ticular candidate. Hut there are some principles which must be a large con stituent of the one who is to receive a majority vote of the State, or at. least Anderson County. We do not want a man in olliec who sets his face towards the past. Those men who use their energies in strcuously opposing such advancements as the building of good roads, and raising the State out of the depths of a degrading and sin-cursed liquor rule, are not the men to sit in high places governing this people in this day, w hen peace and advancement should he our highest aim. The pros perity of any State depends upon the prosperity of i?s constituent units?the home- ami, how can this State expect to prospur while it sells a drug that de stroys the manhood, the purposes, the lifo and tho property of its constituents? What would tho people say of a man who used every precaution possible to maintain n wolf ami sheep in the. same pasture peaceably? Would they not say: "Tool, separate, them?" Just so, if our people w;ant a land of peace and plenty, they must, without fear, remove forever this damnable drug that works upon the vital life chords of man. If the men that wo havo gladly followed in the past, reiuso to comply with our wishes, why in the name of reason let's put other men in their places. B. It. Tillmnn hns swayed tho public mind in this State during tho lust ton years, and many people havo followed him implicity. Hut, without any intention of ensting a shadow of a doubt in any one, we must say that many dire and unt hough toi calamities have been per petuated by seemingly friends. It is plainly to be seen by all, that Tillman is bent on maintaining and supporting the machine that hns given him supre macy in this State. I remember when Tillman, in all humbleness, addressed the people solicitously, calling himself a "Wool hat and ono gnllus iuuu." But where is the "Wool hat and ono gnllus man" now? He is transformed into a bold, daring, arrogant man of ingrati tude, assaulting the highest calling in the universe?too ministry. These re marks are not intended to bo taken contemptuously. Wc have high re gards for Senator Tillmnn. Hut. when a man refuses to grant his aid to his supporters, it is our advisory to support one who will. Why will our people doubt ami fear the results of prohibi tion? Thcro or? absolutely no evil consequences that can possibly follow strict prohibition, and it is not a pro blem that can bo solved in dollars and cents. Lnst Sunday we passed along the public road and saw a crowd of drinking and riotous white men and boys naked and bathing in tho creek. Wc also entered a Church recently and saw a boy sitting there sanctimonious ly under the voice of the preacher with a half-pint of liquor in his vest pocket. Now, we admit that prohibition would not prohibit a man or boy from bath ing in public viow or on Sunday if thoy wished to do so. But it would remove beyond their reach this damnable agent that so emboldens their brutish na tures. Hurrah for every candidate who stands for prohibition! Bon Amateur. Holland's Store.

AnrWscu lnst Friday, and, in sum ming up the matter, can say that while some or the speeches were good, the most of them contained precious little. We had the pleasure on the Oth inst. of visiting Oconee County, in the vi cinity of Walhalla, the occasion being the meeting of the Beaverdam Asso ciation at Pleasant Ridge, 8 miles above Walhalla. The meeting was harmon ious and pleasant and the trip a most delightful one.N Crops in Oconee are not promising. We think at least one halt of tho cotton of that section is turned out. The corn also looks very discouraging, bntnotwithstanding the f;loomy outlook tho people were chcer ul and happy, which, by the way* is for better than growling, snapping, and complaining. Buukc. Septus Hems. Lay-by (inn; lias at last arrived ami the farmers eau now lie mound in the -hade and eat watermelons and talk politics.

We recently beard a story which very nicely suits the ptcs ent situation of the prohibitionists. It was about an old darky who went with his master to the army at the breaking out of the war between the States. It seems that just after the first battle this old darky was very much fright ened and told his master that he would have to go home. "Why, John, what's the matter?" asked his master. "Well, boss," replied John, "I scared if I stays here dat I gwinc 'ter have to hurt somebody." "John, when you get home are you going to tell the folks that we run?" asked his master. "S'o, no, boss," replied John, "I'll jes tell uni youse advancin' backwards." Such is the progress made by the prohibi tionists.
