Bill Nye says that one of the ques

hell with a good draught to it, and if
so, whom would you like to meet
there beside the framers of these in

Last Monday we had a talk with
Trial Justice Fleming, of Salem, and
the "Squire" seemed pretty well in
formed on the political situation of
that section. He says that the action
of the county executive committee
does not meet with general favor, and
that the Democratic clubs will go to
Iwork at once and organize temnporari
1y, so that when the 2nd day of Aug
uist comes they will be in a condition
to know who to elect as permanent
officers of their respective clubs. In
reply to the question of the political
sentiments of his neighbors he said
that the Tillmanites are largely in the
majorify, and that Salem will send
Tillman delegates to the county coa
vention.

at M. KalIsky's.
The Columbia Regi.9er says, "that
Ex-Gov. John C. Sheppard, of Edge
tield, has made the mistake of his
life, in declining to be a candidate for
the office of governor." The Register
ought to remember that Ex-Governor
Sheppard hasn't a very thick coating
of hair on his cranium, and it would
be utterly useless for him to bring that
well balanced appendage in contact
with a Tillman wall. Mr. Sheppard
has no doubt heard of "the ways that
are dark and the tricks that are vain,
the antis are dangerously peculiar;"
therefore he shows good judgment in
declining. The News and Courier of
yesterday asks, "what has becompe of
Lieutenant Governor Mauldin, of
Greenville? Why is he not on the
stump, speaking for himself and the
party ?" Perhaps Mauldin has been
to mill also, and yet this paper is not
discouraged. If keeps on crying for
help, and still it is not happy. Who
next ?
A Miraculous Escape.
Leila Johnson, the little three-year
old daughter of Mr. N. M. Johnson,
while playing with some other chil
dren yesterday morning in the yard
of Mr. C. R. Harvin, accidentally fell
into the well and would have drowned
had it not been for the quick assist
ance rendered. It appears from what
we could gather, that this child stood
upon a box that was by the well curb,
and undertook to draw some water,
when it became overbalanced or was
dragged down by the weight of the
bucket. She fell a distance of about
twenty-five feet and held on to the
bucket until a colored man went down
the well and brought her out.
The little girl had been in the water
about ten minutes and was very cold
when taken out, but upon examination
she was found to be unhurt, with the
exception of a slight bruise on the
side of the head.
This is another warning to parents
to keep their cnildren away from open
wells, and with but a very small cost
well curbs could have covers on them,
and thereby prevent the danger from
such places on one's premises.
Annual Meeting County Alliance.
The annual meeting of the County Alli
ance will take place in the court house at
Manning on Friday, 4th July next, at 12
o'clock. An election of officers for the en
suing year will take place. Sub-secretaries
will please hand their repxorts in by 25th
Juna now. Col. E. T. Stackhouse and Hon.
M. L. Donaldson will be present to address
the convention. All members of the order
are invited to attend. D. J. BRaDAnn,
JTune 18, 1890. Secretary.
For the Ladies!
A nice assortment of ladie~s' collars and
cuffs, ruching, handkercheifs, veiling,
glove, fans, buttons, dress shields, whale
bone, lace caps, laces, embroideries, ribbons,
and millinery goods is to be found at Mrs. M.

SU avmwlos., June 16.--Last Wednes
day evening we had a cloud burst in
this section, doing considerable dam
age to the growing crop and washing
the lands. In some places great
ditches have been cut, taking up the
crops in their course.
J. R. Tarleton, post master at this
place, died Saturday evening on the
train between Sumter and Packsville,
on his return from Sumter where he
had gone for medical treatment. It is
unfortunate for the patrons of the of
fice, as I doubt very much if we get
another Republican in his place that
will give as general satisfaction as he
did in the office.
There was a Sunday-school mass
meeting in the Presbyterian church
on Sunday afternoon, conducted by
Mr. Frank Whilden, of Charleston.
The program was well rendered, and
was very instructive; the music was
very fine, led by Mr. Whilden on the
cornet.
Rev. Mr. Workman, the Presbyte
rian preacher at this church, has been
given two or three months' vacation
by his churches, on account of his
feeble health. He will visit Glenn
Springs and other health resorts
through the summer.
Mrs. H. R. Thomas is visiting rela
tives in the village.
Miss Belle Caldwell, of Wedgefield,
is visiting at Maj. Briggs's.
Mrs. Dr. J. M. Burgess and daugh

M. S. Cantey's. C.
News from Jordan.
JoRDaN, June 17.-Nelson Sprott,
an industrious colored farrier, sent us
a cotton bloom on the 10th inst. This
is the first bloom for Jordan. Can
Summerton beat it?
On Tuesday and Wednesday, the
10th and 11th inst., we had the heav
iest rainfall of the season, but cotton
has a nice color and seems to be grow
ing rapidly. Other crops are very
fair, and the farmers anticipate an
abundant yield.
The closing exercises of the Jordan
Academy will take place next Thurs
day evening, 19th inst.
Miss Jessie McLean, a charming
young lady.of Charlotte, N. C., is vis
iting her sister, Miss Josie.
Mrs. Cantey, of Foreston, is visiting
her daughter, Mrs. J. H. Burgess.
Mr. C. R. Sprott, of Wofford, is
spending vacation at home.
Mr. J. H. Burgess's new dwelling
is nearing completion. Jordan is im
proving.
Mr. Editor, I notice the "red head"
whom I alluded to two weeks ago
shoots off his lip and compares your
Jordan correspondent to a "bag of
meat" or a "beer keg." Of course it
is all fun and I could very easily reply
and make a much worse comparison
and tell the truth too, but I think it
wise to treat a disrail with contempt.
Politics is growing a little warm,
and I think Tillman is losing ground.
I am afraid he will lose his coat-tail if
too many office-seekers hold to it, to
pull them into office. C.
News from Silver.
SI..vER, June 14.-We had a most
delightful trip to Eutaw Springs on
the 13th. This grand old spring has
its history that will ever live to be
cherished in the memory of South
Carolinians. It was a most pleasant
day to some of Clarendon's folks who
had never visited the springs before.
There was nothing to attract atten
tion on the road from Silver except
the crops. At Eutawville we took
the branch which runs to Pon Bluff.
This put us down in one-half mile of
the springs. This road has been
built for the convcnience of the Mich
igan lumber company. From the
springs we went to see the fine plan
tation of Mr. W. H. Sinkler. Here
you behold one of the finest pl'nta
tions in Berkley. His line stock farm
is an elegant arrangement, and his
imported Jersey and Ayrshire sLeep
is only another evidence that South
Carolina would compete with any
State in the union.
I had the pleasure of the company
of Mr. McDonald Furman, reporter
of the Nett and Couirier. Mr. Fur
man's abilities as a writer has never
been questioned, and as a man he is
pleasant and sociable, deeply interest
ed concerning the politics of the State.
'The festival given by the ladies on
Saturday proved to be a success.
Representatives from all parts of the
county were present. Another will
be given next Saturday.
A very large and representative
part of this community met at Silver
to-day and organizcd a Democratic
club. A vote was taken unanimously
endorsing Tillmnan for governor. I
never saw more enthusiasm manifest
ed. The Friendship Democratic club
will organize next Saturday.
Mrs. Eliza Jones, of Knoxville, Ten
nessee, is on a visit to relatives at
Silver.
Rev. J. B. Kershaw camne dlown
from Sumter to-day to seea Mr. L. B.
Owen who has been sick for- several
weeks.
Mr. C. C. Way has been forced to
kill his fine mare which had glanders.
J. R. Tarleton, the colored post
master at Summerton, whose health
has been precarious for several
months, died on the train between
here and Sumter to-day. Toy.
Levi -Cohen.
The Washington Rorw of JTnue 11th gives
the following description of the marriage of
Mr. Levi and Miiss Cohen:
Miss Lily May Cohen, daughte.r of Mr.
Max Cohen, of this city, editor of "Vew,
was tuarried to Mr. Ferdinand Levi, of Sum
ter, S. C., yesterday afternoon at the Eighth
Street Temple by Rev. L. stern. Th'ie ushers
were Messrs. Harry Frane, Al. Marks, of
Philadelphia, Jos. Strasburge~r, A. Levi, and
M. Rosenberg. A handsome dinner was
given at the residence of the bride's parents,
921 8th street, in honor of the young couple.
During the course of the dinner toasts were
offered by Rev. L. Stern, Mr. Cohen, Dr. A.
Behrend, A. A. Solomnons, B. F. Schwar tz.
Simon Wolf, Lewis Abrahiams and others.
The father of' the groomi presented the brzide~
with the deed to a honse and h~t, and more
than two hundred other hzandsome presents
were received. In the evening an eleg int
reception was given by Mr. Cohen, at which
a number of promirent people fromn out of
town were present, including Mr. and Mrs.
IMendelsson, of New York: David Levi, of
St. Paul, S. C.; Mr. and Mrs. Hirseh, of
Philadelphia: A. A. Solomnons, of Philade'l
phia; B. F. Schwartz., of Buffalo, N. Y.: Mr.
and Mrs. M. Levi, of Manninig, S. C.; Mrs.
L. Ense!, of Kansas Citv, Mo.; Miss Tillie~
Moss, of New Y'ork; Mitchell Levi, of Sum
ter, S. C.; Mr. A. Levi and Miss S. Levi, of
Manning, S. C.; anda Al. Marks, of Philadel
phia. Tihe young couple have left for a
three months' wedding trip, after which
they will go to live in their new home at
To My Friends and Patrons.
I will soon go North to purchase
my fall and winter stock, and in order
to make room I will sell my summer
goods at marvelously low prices.
There is in my stock right now some
of the prettiest lines of dry goods,
consistiug of prints, white goods, inus
lins, mulls, challies, cambrics, nain
sooks, and the best assortment of
laces and embroideries that has ever
been offered in this town.
My stock of yellow and checked
homespun was never more complete,
and bought direct from the mills and
at a time when they were considera
bly lower than now.
I guarantee that my stock of shoes
is second to none in the State. They
are made of the very best material
and latest styles, especially for
my trade, and are offered at such
prices that I can compete with any
shoe store.
Just come to my store and look at
the immense line of straw hats I car
ry. You will find any style and any
price you want, and I have ordered
them marked down to almost cost.
I have been very successful in my
efforts this year in purchasing cloth
ing: my stock has been selected
with such care and good taste
that (all who have purchased
from me express their satisfaction. I
can sell suits all the way from five
dollars to twenty-five. I can show
you a cheviot suit for ten dollars that
cannot be bought elsewhere for less
than twelve.
A pretty line of geuts' furnishing
goods can be found at my store. If a
person wants a neat cravat or tie I
have it; if they want a fancy flannel
shirt I have it; if they want collars
and cuffs they will find them with me;
and if there is anything at all in the
gents' furnishing line I guarantee that
no other merchant has a better assort
ment or can sell them cheaper.
My grocery stock is always full, and
by purchasing heavy goods in car
load lots I get them cheaper and
save money on freights. Therefore it
is natural to suppose that I have a
great advantage over other merchants,
and I propose to give my customers
the full benefit of any advantage I
may have.
As I have said before I desire to
make room for my fall stock, and in or
der to do so will sell cheap: so if there
are any persons wanting to buy now is
the time, because greater inducements
will be offered now than have ever
been offered before. This is no idle
boast, and when you come to town
come right into my store and I will
prove to you that you will save money
by making your purchases from me.
Yours very respectfully,
M. LEVI.
Silver Democratie Cl) Organized.
EnIvonfMANN Taits:-At a called meet
ing held at Silver Saturday, June 14th, Sil
v'er Democratic Club was organized with
eighty-seven members. The officers elected
were: A. W. Thames, president: Jas. W.
McCauley, 1st vier president; H. S. Briggs,
2nd vice president; and 1P. C. Cochran sec
retary.
The following resolutions were offered
and unanimously adopted by the club:
WHF.InEAs, as citizens in mass meeting as
semble-d at Silver for the purpose of orgain
izing a Democratic club, and feehing it to be
our duntv to place on record onr solemn pro
test against the actioni and revolutionary
methods of the Clarendon Executive Comn
tittee when they openly say no organiza
tion of the Democratic clibs must be effect
ed before. the 2d day of August next: to this
end we do now organize and elect our of
flcers, as we feel it to he our duty to set
forth our views to the world, and to place on
record onr in dignant protest against the few
who lent their aid to such unfair revolution
ary proceedhngs. We desire to express our
opinion~ as to the said committe-, believing
that they .seek the destruction of the Demo
eratic party in forcing measures against the
majority of Democrats who compose the
bone and sinew of the country, for the os
tensible purpose of manipulating the "old
guard;" therefore be it
1&solced, That the members composing
that execative committee who on the 6th day
of June opposed the reorganization of the
Democratic clubs in Clarendon county, (lid
no't voice the sentimen t of the people; that
their action was revolutionary, void, and
un warran table; an d their action meets the
greatest condemnation of a liberty-loving
people.
2. That we cordially endorse the action
of the March convention, in adopting the
platform so well suited to the fairmers' wants
and conditions, and do hereby heartily en
dorse the suggestion of Capt. .I. R. Tillmn
for the no1.ination of governor; and we
pledge ourselves to do all in our power to
make him the standard bearer, pledging
ourselves at the same time to support the
nominee whoever he may be at the Septem
er convention.
3. That we endorse the bold and fearless
stand taken by Truz MAxxG TIMEs and
Charleston WorlM, in support of Tillman
and the farmers' cause; that we withdraw
our support from the Keres ada Courier~ and
Clarendon En1terpise, wvhose belabored ef
forts have been to destroy the unity of the
Democratic party of South Carolina for
ring rule and bossism.
4. That these resolutions; be given to THE
MAxxINO TIMEs and Charleston UJol~ for
publication.
In addition to the above resolutions the
club unanimously endorse~d E. B. Gary, for
leutenant governor; Y. J. Pope, for attorney
ueral; and H. S. Farley, for adljutant gen
era. A fter a short but very po.nte-d speech
by Maj. DesChamips the club> adjourned to
meet again on Saturday, -July i;, 1890.

Capi. Tilhnan's Views on the Tariff.
CoNxoR's, S. C., May 31, 1890.
Capt. B. R. Tillman, Edgefield, S. C.--Dear
Sir: The Orangeburg Spectator of this week,
in an editorial, accuses you of being a pro
tectionist. I always thought you were a low
tariff man, as every true Southerner should
be.
While a protectionist governor could not
hurt us much, set his influence tending in
that way might injure us indirectly. By an
swering, giving a full explanation of how
you stand on this great political issue, you
will satisfy many voters in this 'icinity.

Dear Sir: While I agree with you that my
candidacy has nothing to do with national
issues. I cheerfully answer your questions
about my being a "Protectionist," which
charge is being made against me in many
quarters.
My position on the tariff is simply this:
The United States government must have
money to defray its expenses, and with a
constantly increasing pension roll there is
likelihood of those expenses being largely
increased in future rather than diminished.
We cannot bear a direct tax, therefore "free
trade is a barren ideality," as I have said be
fore, and the bulk of the revenue must come
from duties on imports.
I hold that these should be laid on luxu
ries as far as practicable, and that the neces
saries of life and those articles consumed
by the masses should be burdened as lightly
as possible. I would not make the duty so
light as to destroy the chances of the Amer
ican manufacturer to compete against his
foreign rival, and I certainly would not
make it heavy enough to give a monopoly
to home-made goods. Everything which is
made by a trust or monopoly, like jute bag
ging, should be put on the free list, congress
thus serving notice on all combinations of
capital that any attempt to rob the people
by means of a trust would be met by the
competition of the world in open market.
This is simpler and easier than any attempt
to control or punish trusts. It is farcical
for congress to create trusts and monopolies
by means of the tariff, and thus throw dust
in the eyes of the peopl. by pretending to
try to control and prevent them by statute.
Boiled down. my ideas on the tariff mean:
A tariff for revenue with incidental protec
tion, so graduated and levied as to admit the
necessaries of life free of duty as far as
practicable and prevent trusts or monopolies
of any kind. There will be enough protec
tion for me under any schedule that can be
devised which will raise the necessary rev
enue. But there will have to be a national
farmers' movement before we will see any
thing approximating this. The Alliance
pronises to become such an agency. God
grant that its membership shall increase,
and their minds be enlightened; that we
hold steadfast to the faith and move steadily
forward till we see the national government
run in a way to give equal rights to all and
special privileges to none. When the masses
shall no longer be enslaved for the benefit of
corporations, banks, and manufactures. I
am very truly yours, B. Rt. TLLtMA.

If you feel unable to do your work and
have that tired feeling, take Dr. JT. H. Mc
Lean's Sarsaparilla; it will make you bright,
active and vigorous.
No liniment is in better repute or more
widely known than Dr. J1. H. Mcfean's Vol
canie Oil Liniment. It is a wonderful rem
edy.
One of Dr. J. H. McLean's little liver and
kidney pillets, taken at night before going
to bed, will move the bowels; the effect will
astonish you.
Sick headache is the bane of many lives.
This annoying complaint may be cured and
prevented by the occasional use of Dr. J. H.
McLean's liver and kidney pillets (little
pills).
Persons advanced in years feel younger
and stronger, as well as freer from the in
firmities of age, by taking Dr. J. H. Mc
Lean's Sarsaparilla.
The most populr liniment, is the old re
liable, Dr. J1. H. McLean's Volcanic Oil Lin
iment.
Pimples, boils and other humors, are lia.
ble to appear when the blood gets heated.
The best remedy is Dr. J1. H. McLean's Sars.
