To the Democratic Voters of Newber ryCounty: The election on the bond question is over aind you are to be congratu lated upon the very large majority against the issuing of bonds. Person ally I thank you for the interest that you took in the matter and for your vote against the bonds. It will not be long before other elec tions will be upon us and I want to ask, beg and request that each of you that did not get to vote because you had not registered at all or had lost your certifica.te to go and get you a registration certificate on the first Monday in this month and if for any reason yo cannot go at that time then go the first Monday is the next month and be prepared and not be eaught again without one. It may be that some day an election of more im portance than this one will be held a.nd then you will want your ticket and want it abadly, so why not get it right now and have it when that time comes. Suppose that the .next State Democratic convention should pass a rule requiring all persons who vote in the Primary to be registered, where would you be'? You may say, Oh! well, I could get one then. You don't konw about that, some men got one once and we saw the Grand Jury in vestigating it anid you can nev6r tell what the line up will be or who wdl1 be the supervisors, they may not al ways be white men in principle as well as in color. Get it now. Register, if you never need it all -r.ight, no harm done, if you do need it you have it, no harm done. If you have not it then your vote is gone and you can look on like! the nigger does while the man that has it votes and laughs at you be ause you ean 't. Whi.eh is the best'? Go and Register. What harm does it; do you to have it'? How do you feel when you want to vote and haven 't got it. Go and get it. Respectfully, Cole L. Blease. The News From St. Paul. St. Paul.

Is Writing Reminiscences of Recon struction Times.-Still Believes in the Dispensary. Edgefield, Sept. 1.-Last Sunday the representative of the News and Courier paid Senator Tillman a pop call. He found -the Senato.r sitting on his piazza, husy wi:l('A a palnietw) fan trying to keep cool. and dictat ing to his very efficient. private sec retary personal recollections and reminiseences of reconstruction times. Now and then he would east his eye on some full bloom red roses near him, as if to catch inspiration from their color and beauty, and then italk on. T-he Senator, who by the way is in splendid health had just returneld ;4i+n Anderson where he and Ex Governor Sheppard addressed the "Red Shirt'' rally. and he was full of the subject. In spite of his declar ation .that he is not an orator, he talkeP eloquently of those .times: times, as h-e said. when the blood of the white man was at fever heat. typ ified 1 the red s.hirt. and when. un der the lead of Hampton, they waged the fi,lht that threw off the scalawa. and negro suiprenacy by whi-h ou ivilization was de,-ra-ded. 'IMe Anlderson meeting. one of tie largest and most entilsiastic. said the Senator, that he ever addressed. passed a resolution requesting the spea-kers to prepa.re their remarks for pu1b!iption, and it is the evident in tentiGn of both Mr. Sheppard and Mr. Tillman to give the public the.full benefit of their personal recollections of those stirring times. The Senator, while modestly ignoring himself in the matter, recognizes t1bat it is a duty that Mr. Sheppaild and others, who participated in the events of '76 owe to history to record the happen ings of those eventful days, and he sent a message to the Ex-Governor to this effect. As suggested by the Senator the most initeresting and au thentie history comes from tihe pens of those who helped A-o make it. The Sothern people, he r&narked, a.re in excusably indifferent to saeh matiters, and it is a lamentable fact that the local historian receives little sympathy or eneoaragement. How of-ten do the old soldiers tell of war experiences and tragic incidents, simply told, yet pthetic by reason of t'heike truthful simplicity, but wthe.re is ,the reord ' There is none, and soon, too soon, not only the memory of it all, but the men will be go'ne, and gone forever. The Senator touched ligh.t.ly on the whiskey siituaition. He has never quite forgiven those who killed the State dispensary, his baby, as it is called, and his remarks indieated tcat, hon estly administe-red, he still considers it the best solution of the vexed ques tion. He sees no improvemnt over it i-n the county dispensary for when the interviewer ventured to suggest that the .latter had been conducted without stealing or fraud,his rejoinder was ha.t the time had been too short to develop wrong-doing and yet he was unwilling to say that stealing was being practiced. While he did not say so, it can probably be written down that the Senator hasnVt -any great amount of faith. in the practial efficacy of .pro hijbition. He touched up the News and Courier for its hitter fight agains~t the State dispensary, ad~d then for its support of the county dispensary, the ultimate object, as he sees it, be ing to obtain high liense for Oberles ton. The Senator did not talIk with any idea of a write u,p, but one of the things that constitutes his great force, is his readiness to express his qpiiions irespective of whether he catches the popular ear or appxlause or no. He is presemi.nently a leader and not a follower. WANT ENTIRE STATE DRY. Ant-Saooni League Will Fight For Sta,te-Wide Prohibition. Spartanburg, September 1.-At a meeting of the Anti-Saloon league of Sot1 Carol.nea. held in t'he office of the Rev. J. L. Harley.
