Kalisky will always keep on hand a good stock of lime, copperas, and plaster of paris. The time is rapidly approaching when the "dear people," and especial ly the farmer, will realize the absorb ing interest and tender solicitude with which they are regarded by those whose inconsiderate friends are after thrusting some offices upon them. If you wish to hire a nice horse and buggy at a very small cost, go to D. M. Bradham's Livery Stables. The Waverly House, Charleston, is now one of the most - popular hotels in the State. Mr. G. T. Alford, the proprietor, has everything fixed up nicely, and with elegant rooms, clean beds, plenty of towels, electric lights in every room, and a first-class table, our people ought to be satisfied. Rates 2 and $2.50 per day. Do your eyes need help ? If so call on .1. G. Dinkins & Co. and be fitted with a pair ofAqua-Crystal spectacles or eye glasses. Ihe Manning Collegiate Institute toether with the Manning Literary Club ye a picnic last Friday about five im es from town, in the beautiful grove elonging to Mr. Jas. E. Davis. The us al fine dinner, games, plays, and w -s were the order of the day, and ev ybody came back home tired out and satisfied with their day's pleasure, and ready for another pie mc. Jf you wi. h to hire a nice horse anid buggy at a very am 11 cost, go to D. M. Bradham's Livery Stab . We were requested some time back to call the ttention of our city fath ers to the posting of bills and cards on the shade trpes of the town. Some evil minded person had even gone so far as to posit on a tree in front of the Presbyteriaia church a notice of "Al liance Whijskey." We think a line should bedrawn somewhere, and this last instance seems to demand atten tion. A valuable treatise on the care and pres. eruation of the cyes given away to each one of our customars. C all and get one. .J. G. Dn'~rss & Co. Theoferchants of this town entered into a agreement to close their stores at 7 o'clock in the evenings in order to give their clerks a chance to get off but we notice tbat some of them are rot sticking up to their pledges. This delay will create unkind. feel ings with those who do prom&ptly close. Be prompt in this .matter, and when the bell strikes seven close at once. If you wish to hire aniceliorse and buggy at a very small cost, gpo to D. M. Bradham's Livery Stables. Mr. F. W. Macusker, of George town, a supervisor of the census, was in town Saturday, and we are inform ed that his business was to inquire after suitable persons to appoint as enumerators to take the coming cen sus. We hope our information is cor rect that the supervisor says he de sires to appoint reliable gentlemen re gardless of politics, and that Manning would have an appointment that she will be pleased with. J. G. Dinkins &. Co. .are agents for the celebrated Aqua-Crystal spectacles and eye glasses. Call and examine them. Don't forget, when you need furni ture, that Rutledge & Tindal, of Sum mrtn, have an elegant and carefully assorted stock of all kinds of goods usually found in a first-class furniture store, and they sell at popular prices too. They also cary a stock of cheap er goods, and are prepared to suit all tastes. They have in the repair de partent one of the best cabinet makrs in~ the State. Be sure to give Rutledge & Tindal a call. If you wish to hire a nice horse and buggy at a very small cost, go to D. M. Bradhami's Li ary Stables. It is a pleasure for us to learn of the great success Mr. W. A. Barfield is meeting with in Sumter. He is a strictly first-class tailor, and can make as good a fit in a suit of clothes as any man. He has an original method of taking measures, andI never fails to give an accurate fit. His work is not .o'nly neat-it is beautiful. The pee. pe of Sumter have in Mr. Barfield as ine and competent a tailor as is in the State. He deserves the snecess ir is w inninlg. Mr. C. Isadore Hoyt died at his residence in Sumter, Tuesday, May 6, after an illness of several months. Mr. R. F. Horton, of Santee, lost a fine mule last Monday. It probably had lung fever. Mr. C. C. Thames, of Silver, has contracted to build a school house for the white citizens of school district No. 1. If Manning intends to keep pace with the progressive towns of the State, the moneyed men must put their hands in their own pockets. Mr. A. W. Thames, of Silver, re ceived his commission as post master for that place last Monday, and he will at once enter upon the discharge of his duties. We are informed that a good many persons from this place expect to take advantage of the cheap rates to Rich mond where they will witness the largest military display ever had in the South. Rev. James McDowell will preach in New Harmony church next Satur day. On Sabbath he will preach as usual in Manning Presbyterian church at 11 o'clock A. X., and again at New Harmony at 4 P. B. Sumter proposes to build a $35,000 hotel, and most of this amount has already been subscribed. Two men subscribed $5,000 each. That's busi ness. No wonder Sumter is gaining the lion's share of Clarendon's trade, when her business men show such pluck and energy. Subscribers will please remember the Trs is CASH IN ADVANCE Please don't ask us to send it on time: wait till you get the money. And when your subscription expires unless you promptly send us the money for renewal we will stop the paper. We don't want to lose a single subscriber, but our rule is CASH IN ADVANCE, and unless the cash is paid in advance the paper stops. The Manning Guards will drill next Monday afternoon at 7 o'clock. After the drill a meeting of the company will take place, for the purpose of electing officers. Every member of this company should be present, as it is very important to bring about such a state of affairs that its members will take a greater interest in the com pany. For the last twelve months there has been a considerable amount of indifference displayed, and it is to be hoped that after the election of officers Monday night a new interest will be felt. An Ancient Custom. Ever since the day that the Lord made a covenant with Abraham and said to him, "This is my covenant which ye shall keep, between me and you, and thy seed after thee: every man-child among you shall be circumcised." has the custom prevailed among the Israelites to obey this time honored mandate. In every Jewish family when a boy is born it is an event of great rejoicing, as "unto them a prince is born," and at the expira tion of eight days this great event is cele brated by having performed the rite of cir cumision an?'d the child being named. Last Monday morning at the residence of Mr. Aaron Weinberg the solemn rite of cir cumision was performed on his infant son, whose name will go down to posterity as Benedict Abraham. The ceremony was con. ducted in a very impressive manner by the Rev. Mr. Rubin, of Charleston, in the pres ence of quite a number of friends and rela tives of the parents. After the services were over the party fill. ed their glasses with wine, and drank to the health and prosperity of the young hopeful and his parents, and then a general expres sin of congratulation and good wishes took place. These gatherings are always pleasant, and this one was especially so, as the company seemed brimful of pleasant wit and humor, and all seemed to realize that it matters not how many sons are born into a family the last one is the finest. Let's Have a lactory. Last week we mentioned the suggestion of a prominent merchant of this town, that Manning would be a good site for a wagon factory. We hope that the da y is not far distant when this suggestion w ill be put into practi cal operation. By having a wagon factory here a large number of workmen would be employed and as a natural consequence these people would spend considerable money in our town. It would be greatly to the advantage of our merchants to look into this matter and form a joint stock company. We need some thing ofthe kind to make our town grow and prosper, and in order to successfully accomplish any enterprise our people must do away with all feh'iga of seltishness and pull together for the good of all. No project can succeed if the selfish feeling exists that because somebody will be more benenitted than another, and because the trade of an institution will not all go to one, therefore that one will have nothing to do with it. Look at the spirit of progress exhibited in other towns where tie merchants and .other moneyed men are putting their hands down into their pockets and opening their purses for the benefit of the communities in which they live. These towns are booming, while ours is comparatively at a stanSstill. If a wagon factory is not what we want, then let us look for some other industry: we canot afford to sit down idly while our neighbors are working. There is not a town in the State with better facilities for mana facturing industries than Manning: the health of the town is first-class, the water cannot be excelled, and everything that a town requires to induce progress is right here. Let our people come together, consult each other,.and thereby devise some plan of action by which our town will grow and prosper. The spring season is on us. Paint your dwellings, white-wash your fences, build up your vacant lots, and_ otherwise improve and build up your premises. The town council is doing fine work by opening drains, repairing bridges, ixing sidewalks, and opening streets. Their work is being done in a thorough manner. Now let us do ours, so that when a stranger comes here he will see something to attract his attention and induce him to come and invest with us. Festival at Grange Hall. The ladles of Calvary will give an ica cream festival at the Grange Hall for the benefit of the Ladies' Missionary Society on Tuesday evening, the 27th inst., at 8 o'clock. Their friends and the friends of missions are earnestly requested to attend. Local. Full and elegant assortment of ladies', misses', and children's hats and trimmings can be found at Mrs. M. 0. Burgess's store. Ladies wishing such goods are invited to call. These goods are unusually attractive, and prices remarkably low. Buying and selling for cash makes quite a difference in cost. Untrimmed hats from 25c. up. M. Kalisky says that he has the finest supply of men's, youths', and children's summer clothing and hats in town. He says that he bought them at a special bargain aad 1will give his customers the advantage of his cheap purchases. So as the weather is get ting warm throw off your heavy clothing and Read This Offer. Having become convinced from ob servation that there are many persons in the county who are not now taking the MANr.rG Tnims simply be cause they are unacquainted with its many merits, and that if they once contracted the habit of looking for ward to their county paper every week, they would not be able to do without it, we have determined to send out the paper on a "trial trip" at special rates. To all subscribers not now on our list who will pay us the sum of FIFTY CENTS in advance, we will send the MoNxI-o Tnmrs from the date of said payment until Nov. 15, 1890. As the regular price of the paper is $1.50 per annum, it will be seen that this offer, now made solely for the purpose above mentioned, is indeed a generous one. The date of expiration, Nov. 15th, is named in order that these special subscribers, should they decide to discontinue at this time, will be able to obtain any way the full election news, for it must not be forgotten that 1890 will doubt less prove, for reasons too numerous to enumerate at this time, one of the most important election years which has been known in South Carolina since the war. SunImerton's Newsy Budget. Suxzarox, May 12.--The stands of cot ton are very good in this section. We are having fine weather for cleaning ont the crops, and the farmers seem intent on doing it, as we see no loafing around. Eleven cents for cotton will make any of the farmers stir around lively. Hope the price will stay at what it is until the new crop is harvested and sold. Several of our citizens took advantage of the excursion rates, and paid Charleston a visit last week. The Methodists had an ice cream festival last Friday night and realized about $30. The Baptists will have a magic lantern entertainment to-night, conducted by Rev. C. C. Brown, of Sumter. The second quarterly conference for this circuit convened at St. James on the 10th. Rev. J. S. Beasley presided. The finances are about up to the usual standard for the circuit. Delegates to the District Confer ence: J. G. Wells, J. M. DesChamps, R. C. Felder, J. C. Lanham. Politics seems to be as cool as spring wa ter in this section. Hope it will continue so. All we want is good men in office, and we don't want any fool cut about it, either. Our paper, the Star, is a very neat little sheet, and Mr. P. G. Bowman, the eaitor, seems to understand his busineqs. We ex pect to soon see it the equal of any weekly in the State. Mr. J. Adger Smyth's family are visiting at Maj. Briggs's. Miss Sue Choat, of Charleston, and Miss Fannie Burgess, of Manning, are visiting at Dr. T. L. Burgess's. Dr. Brooks Rutledge and wife are on a visit to Mr. J. D. Rutledge. The postoflice at this place has been made a money order office, and we get five mails a day. C. News from Pudding Siwanip. SANDY GRovE, May 9 --News is very scarce down here among us Padding Swamp era. Tillman and the coming campaign is the general topic now. We think two-thirds of the voters will vote for Tillman. Farmers are about all through planting. The corn crop looks tolerably well. Cotton is getting up fact since the rains have comn nmenced. The oat crop is very light in this section, the cause .>eing attributed to the Hessian fly. We are having tine seasons just now, whiich makes the farmers' hearts glad. A little negro child on Mr. ,J. .T. McFad din's plantation was burned to (death on the 3rd inst. The child was an infant not quite a year old, and was left alone in the house. It'is supposed that it crawled into the fire. The good people of Hebron chureb or ganized their Sunday-school last Sunday, the 4th inst., with upwards of tifty mem hers, u hich speaks well for that place. We had a fine picnic and a sentimental drenching last Saturday at Mouizons Bridge. A heavy rain came up during the day, and the ladies were compelled to take shelter under wagons, buggies, and such like until the rain was over. Mr. J. E. .Johnson's infant child about five months old died this week. He has another very sick child. Mr. J. C. Baker has a sick child also. The trouble seems to he diarrhea, which is quite prevalent. A little child of Mr. W. A. JT. Moore, of Moore's X Roads, about two years old, swallowed a Eilver quarter. Threre is no hope of the child's lfe being saved, as there is no relief to be had. With these exceptions the health of the community is good. Snr TT.Er.. A Dangerous Fire Near Greeleyville. Gnrxt.r.v.nse, May 11.-Yesterday after noon a negro woman walking in the woods dropped fire near my place. it was discov ered, and by midnight was partially sub dued. This morning it broke out afresh, and before a furious wind threatened de struction to my dwelling, out houses, and fences. Except for the mercy of God and the persevering and laborious efforts of my' neighbors, white and colored, everything would have been swept away; and I desire here to express my heartfelt thanks for aid and sympathy in this time of distress. JAMrES 23. BUuoFRs. Harmony Presbytery. The Presbytery of Harmony held an ad journed meeting in Sumter on the 13th inst. It was opened with prayer by the Modera tor, Rev. James McDowell. Rev. W. J. Me Kav was requested to act as secretary. Mr. George G. Mayes was examined on his literary and theological studies, and preached his trial sermon, and all being satisfactory, he was licensed to preach the gospel. Rev. S. E. Bishop requested the dissolu tion of the pastoral relation existing be tween himself and the churches of Midway and Bethel, on account of his ill health, and the churches concurring, his request was granted. After transacting seine other items of bus iness, Presbytery adjourned, with prayer by Rev. W. J. McKay, to meet in Summierton next October. Hocus Pocus I Told You So. Enrron MANNIN TMs :-I have been watching since the March Convention, and have come to the conclusion that we have some funny men in our county. Some few are out and out Anti-Tillmnan, a great many are for Tillmnan, and a great many are like Harry Hinton's funny man: "Ncow I will and now I won't; Now youi see it and now you (lon't; Under my hips and -over your nose. Hocus pocus and there she goes." These when they express themselves will look over their sLoulder to see if any one can hear, and they remind me of the saying of the old darkey: "Oh, Lordy, Massa Joe, What makes you fool them darkies so." I suppose when the lines are drawn and the pot boils, these will discover the win ning side, and after the fight is over they will say "I told you so, Bletsey and I kill-l the~ bear," when Betsey did all the killing. In my humble opinion the time hiasconme when ererybody should speak out, and let us remember that we be brethren and are sin cre in our opinions, and that affter our family quarrel is over we will b~e as one man and the Democeratic party will be- more united than ever. The drom m:y horn a little, but, being purified, the old party will shine brighter and brighter. Tillmnan in 90, G rover Cleveland in Mi, anid we will have two of the foremost reforwirrs in the land. m Takup your town; work for your wn; p atronize vontdo4yn. Political and Literary iotes from Wilsons. Wn.soss, May 12.-Tillman and Anti-Till man are having a big fight, truly, but from the signs of the times not as big as it is go ing to be. Such proceedings as was had at Ridgeway on the fourth is, to say the least of it, simply disgraceful. Tillman's most bitter enemies are doing him a great deal more good, and by slandering and villifying him are on a more direct road to elect him governor than his best friends are. We be lieve Tillman will be the next governor, but if his Antis don't "quit their bebabeness and learn Low to don't," we know he will be governor. We claim to be no part of a politician, and are willing to stand (,ff and try to see that there is a fair fight, but we reckon nobody can prevent our hollerin', "Hurrah for Tillman and his Aunty!" Wilsons Literary Club met as usual at Mrs. Nelson's, Friday night, with quite a large and appreciative audience. Sorry we can't give you the program in full. Excel lent music was furnished by two accom plished organists: Miss Fannie Burgess, of yonr town, and Miss Josie McLean, of Jor dan. We remember enough about one of the pieces to say that Mr. Irvin Plowden got there in his role of "Big injun, whoop, yah, whoop !" There was also a debate on the question, "Which is best calculated to dle velop character, riches or poverty ?" On the affirmative were Messrs. Ed. Wilson and A. P. Burgess, and on the negative Messrs. J. Champe Strange and J. L. Cannon. A committee of three, Rev. J. C. Bissell, J. H. Lesesne, and W. L. Burgess, were requested to act as judges. The committee, in a re port very flattering to the society, said that the subject had been well handled by both sides but decided in favor of the affirmative. The infantry and artillery we spoke of last week were there and (lid blaze away tre mendously, and we believe that the artil lery, which was on the negative side, would have carried off the laurels, but for the fact that one of their guns, intended to have been most effective, hurled its missiles high and harmlessly on the "hills of Bethlehem." The society will take a rest from now until the second Friday night in September. The entertainment was closed with the most appropriate so'g, "God be with you till we ieet again." B. Tillman Convert Talks Again. Since writing my last letter I have been somewhat amused at the efforts that certain individuals are making to discover the au thor of the communication signed "Tillman Convert." Some said it was a fellow living on Black River, others said it was a man living in or near Manning, and another said it was one of Tillman's campaign documents that was prepared by him and sent to a zealous admirer to have published in order to create a Tillman sentiment, and thus they keep on guessing antd they have not been able to discover the writer yet. I re gretted very much that I did not see you when you were here a few nights ago. I wanted to ask you to loan me some of your up-country exchanges, but did not know you were here until I went to the postoffice the next morning, and while there some one mentioned it. I see from the papers that the State Exec utive Committee had a meeting and selected the 26th of July for a mass meeting to be at Manning. I hope we will not be disappointed in having the largest gathering ever held at the county seat. Every farmer ought to be on hand and hear the speakers. I hope Farmer Tillman will be there, and if he is I will venture the assertion that fair play will be the order of the day. I do not believe that the people of this counDty are going to submit to the brow-beater and bull-dozer. All that we ask is to give our man a fair showing and a respectful hearing, and we will give their men the same treatment. I have just iinished reading the account of that horrible lynching in Lexington. It is awful beyond expression, but why this lawlessness? Is it becartse the law~ is not strong enough ? or is it that proper efforts are not made to excente the laws ? In my judgment a new and thorough system ought to be organized by which the law of the land can be enforced. It has got to such a pass that people enn take the law in their own hands without the slightest fear of punish ment. Men can commoit crime in this State and n'knouwledlge it. and then go impnn iihed. A thorough change is: necessary. en ought to be tried, and if they fail, then keep on electing new men until we do get officers and juries that will do their duty. Some say that tile present officers are good men and will do their duty, but that tile jury system is to blame. If this be true then the jury system should be changed. Somethmng must and should be done if the already blood-stained name of South Caro lina is to be cleansed. I am glad to see that the newspapers are holdling up with their abuse of our leader. They are beginning to find out that the more they abused him the closer his triends woultd cling to him, and if they had in the beginning of the family fight resorted to sound argunment instead of abuse it is very likely they would have succeeded in mak Iing their ~eause stronger, but b~y indulging in calling him hard name-s and ridiculing his personal appearance, they irritated Till man and his brother farmers, and not only them but others also, to feel that sympathy which is aroused when a fellow man is be ing unjustly persecuted. The die is east, the opposition have done their work, and it now behooves us to do ours. We have got to watch as well as pray, and not let them with their trained methods blind us with all kinds of sweet promises. The Democratic clubs will soon be organ ized, and then it will be our duty to turn out and see that our men are sent to the conventions and that we have our friends on the executive committee. If we sit idly at home and let the opposition attend the club meetings of course they will elect their friends, and the farmer will be to blame. Once we lose our opportunity at home the work will be done, and it will be useless for us to open our mouths. Now let me say to my brother farmers that it is their bounden duty to turn out to the meetings of their respective clubs, and when they do turn out they must cause themselves to be heard. If they cannot get up and make a speech get up any way and state your feeiings, how you want to vote, and who you want to vote for. Whatever you do don't allow yourselves to be dictated to by your former leaders, but select the men that you have every reason to believe are sincerely advocating your cause, and all will be well. I was disgusted to hear one of the oppo stion say a few days ago that he would sup port Tilliman if somie one had not told him that he was an infidel. He admitted, how ever, that he believed Tillman would make a first-class governor, and that his adminis tration wvould b~e a progressive one. I mere ly mention this to show how some people stoop in order to dig filth to throw at a can didate. After calling Tillman all kinds of hard namues and finding that it did not have the desired effet they are now trying to ap Ipead to the retigious sentiment by telling our people that our leader is one that refutses to believe in Gsod. I do not know wheither Tillmian is a be lieer in God or not, but I do believe that f he at any' time ever expressed himself as being an neliever these fellows instead of handing the news around by word of mouth w ould get the Anti-Tillmain papeis to pro caim it in large headlines. I do not believe thait Thian is an unbeliever, and will not blieve it until I can hear it from a source hait is~ not trying everything possible to cush him. TnLLrA Co~vErT. Fori'stonMayv 1:3, 1890. We have b~eenc noticing for the past few weeks that the political pot was simmering, and only a few degrees more heart was needed to put it boil ing. Realizing this fact, we take the oppotunlity' of stating that the dear peple would be glad to hear from he' c:andidate's, and that the MaNynm TnwMS will insert cards of announce ment from this date until the primary election for' $5. We will be glad to hear from vou, gentlernien. One of Dr. JT. H. McLean's little liver and kidney pillets, taken at night before going to bed, will move the bowels; the effect will Fish and Polities at Brewington. Eoiron MANNINo Tnis:-Hearing that you were at Foreston last week, and also hearing that you bought a lot of fish to car ry home with you, I thought I would give you an idea of what we are doing down here with the finny tribe. For the past week the catch of mawmouth has averaged about 300 per day, and as I see you are very fond of fish I would be glad indeed to have you come down and try your luck. I can assure you that you will get a.i many as you can eat and enough for the folks at home. We are having fine seasons; cotton is up with a good stand; our farmers are wide awake and well up with their work; and the health of this section was never better. Politics with us is entirely one-sided- ev ery man that I have talked to is true blue for Tillman and reform. Gen. Earle was the first choice of my neighbors, but as the Farmers' Convention selected Ben Tillman we will all grab up our old hats and wave them as lustily for him as we did for Wade Hampton in '7t. I see that there is some talk of Hampton' being pitted against Tillman, but I don't believe old Wade is the kind of a man to be fooled by as flimsy a trick as that. Why it would not take much of a philosopher to see that it is simply a game to pull him out of the Senate to place him on the shelf alongside of a number of other political characters that will be shelved after the meeting of the Democratic Convention. The ol.d leaders have had their day, and will soon be things of the past. They re mind me of the boy and his father and the boy's dog. The dog was young, and the boy asked his father to allow him to set the dog after him to see if the dog would obey. The father agreed. So the dug was set on, and he caught the old man. The old man cried out with a painful cry for the son to take the dog off, but the son said, "No, I cannot; the dog is young and it will ruin him to take him off: you are old and cannot last much longer no how." Just so, with our party: the old fellows are calling for help and ask ing that we let them alone as we have done in the past, and allow them to go on filling all the offices with their men. They think Ben Tillman is only working for office, and if he gets the nomination they will have to seek other employment, as he will not allow an old-timer to remain. Therefore, if you want to retain in public office men who have held on to their offices ever since 1876 like grim death, and men whose only fitness for office is a long line of distinguished ancestors, vote for them as you have always done, and they will continue feasag at public dinners and formal re ceptions, and allow the people to read in the papers of how they cut a swell as their rep sentatives. I say hurrah for Tillman, and let us all labor for peace, harmony, and a triumphant victory. H. Brewingtci, May 12, 1890. THE STANDARD. "1 regard Hood's Sarsaparilla as having passed above the grade of what are common ly called patent or proprietary medicines," said a well known physician recently. "It is fully entitled to be considered a standard medicine, and has won this position by its uradoubted merit and by the many remarka ble cures it has effected. For an alterative and tonic it has never been equalled." W. F. Ostendorff, 223 Meeting St., opp. Charleston hotel, Charleston, S.

Styles and prices equal to any North ern house. Saddles made to order. Send for prices. A. G. Cudworth, Supt. Clarendon Favors Tillman. EDrronIxANNx.G Trxcs:-I noticed in yes terday's News and Courier a letter from W. A. Ancrum, of Boykins, S. C., suggesting the name of John C. Sheppard for Governor. He also suggests that a convention be called of all those opposed to Tillman's charges and candidacy, to meet in Columbia at an early day, and to be composed of the usual representation of the rlifferent counties. He says that "without some such action it real ly seems that we invite defeat." He admits that there is a feeling of unrest and dissat isfaction broadcast over the State, and that many farmers believe that the solution of their troubles requires a "new deal," and they are not willinig to accept Mr. Tillmian as their "Moses." I think Mr. Ancruni mistaken, as far asz this county is concerned. 'The farmers of Clarendon are almost solidly united in their support of Tillmian. They believe him to he a man fully able to assume the leader ship of their movement, and they propose to stand by him let come what will. Mr. Ancrum says that Mr. Tillman's fol lowers consists "of e.very sore-head, weak kneed Democrat, disappointed office-seeker, who is willing to follow any mian or move mient which may cause a change in the po htical life of the government.' Can it be possible for a man to believe Isuch a wild statement? I do not believe Mr. Ancrum believes his own assertion. There is no doubt that a man who is zeal ously advocating a cause that has given him honor and position might forget himself and say some things that he does not mean, and especially might this be the case when he considers the fact that lie is one of the "gang" that this great tight is made against, and if success should attend this movement his position would go also. To say that the farmers of South Carolina are office seekers, sore heads, etc., is actual ly insulting to our manhood, and we will show thyse men at a proper time that such remarks will be promptly rebuked. We farmers are to be slandered and insulted becauso we have had the manhood to say to our old leaders, step down and out as we have a man among our own profession whom we desire to place in position. When we said this, a bowl was raised and Tillmian was accused of Mahoneism, of "insincerity" and of everything else that lying tongues could utter and eager opposition papers would publish. I am glad that I happened to see this letter. It gives me the chance to inform my brethren of what is going on, and to call their attention to the fact that the apposition are "fixing" to manufacture their soft-soap at the same old stand on Main street, usually known as the Colum bia Club.
