THE XMIG TIma S. A. NETTLES. Editor. WEDNESDAY. JULY 2. 1890. The people of Clarendon have gen erally organized their Democratic clubs, regardless of the action of the executive committee. Rev. E. J. Meynardie, D. D., of the S. C. Conference, Methodist church, died last Monday in Camden. He was about sixty-three years of age. The News and Courier last week in one of their headlines makes the as sertion that Tillmanism after all is nothing but Radicalism against Dem ocracy. The people are thinking for them selves this year, and the old political leaders have found out that for once they cannot get the masses to follow them like sheep. Another conference of the Anti-Till manites has been called, to meet in Columbia, July 10th. Any Democrat opposed to Tillman is invited to at tend. But Tillman will be governor, nevertheless. Foreston, which bas been counted -the strongest Anti-Tillman den in the county, has come forward manfully and organized a club solid for Till man. A majority of the Democratic voters in Foreston have joined it. On our first page will be found a defense from Senators Smythe and Buist, for their vote on the census reapportionment bill. The taking of the census was not necessary, and we at the time fully agreed with the ma jority, who declined, for the little ood it would accomplish, to place this heavy tax on the people, and we have had no reason since for changing our opinion. - In a primary in the town of Geogetown last Friday, for the pur pose of electing delegates to the counDty convention, the votes stood 48 for Tillman and 49 against him. Georgetown, which was thought to be strong Anti-Tillman, proves to be for the people's candidate. The coun ty is said to be largely in his favor. We shall not be surprised if Tilhman carries every county in the State. Tilman is still far in the lead, and his prospective majority for governor grows larger every day. At Aiken it was hoped to dam the flood tide, but the littleopposition was washed away with a submerging wave of enthusi asm. The meeting yesterday at Winnsboro was the hotitest yet. There were several fisticuffs, and a strong effort was made to keep Tillman from speaing, but he did speak, and gained cnverts too. Candidates who desire to come be fore the public should do so at once. it is not at all improbable that Clar eudn 'will, on account of the hot litica feeling in this county, and& to get matters quieted as easily and as early as possible, nominate the sanious ,wonty ofiers at the first county con vengion, which will assemble in about arinth's time. Those, therefore, who~ propose being candidat4 should at once make their announcements. In the heat and din of the fie~ee awlitical contest now waging in'this Stats it is indeed refreshing to have the political situation thus discussed: "Whom shall we have for governor: Tailman, Earle, or Bratton ? This is gow the all-absorbing question with theaweage Carolinian. A much olader but a far more important ques tilon receives much less attention. It is this: Shall Christ or Satan rule -over me? We may not get the man -.ofour choice for governor, but no oue need be subjected to the domin Sion of Satan unless he so chooses for Some of our Anti-Tillman friends claim that we are one-sided in what -we publish about the campaign. Upon cloe inquiry, however, we find that they are careless readers, and this probably accounts for many of them being Anti-Tiliman. The Tnirs is unneually liberal in its publications. The account of the Columbia meeting as published in the Word, was entire :ly too long for us to reproduce, so we take it from the Greenville News, a 'strong Anti-Tillmian paper. There are numerous little innuendoes and ~unfair expressions in this article, but Tllman is so strong he can stand all such. The Columbia meeting was not a Tillman meeting, but it came so -near being aTillman meeting that it took all the glory from the- "ring." We also publish Senators Smythe and Buist's defense of their vote on the reapportionment question. The State Democratic Executive -Committee has assumed a strictly partisan position in the present cam paign, and are trying to work up some plan "for anything to beat Till wan." ,The farmers' platform did de nisada'primary for delegates to the State convention, but this was refused, the'idea apparently being that if the old political leaders took the field, they would easily annihilate Tillman and the Tillman infin.ence. But when the campaign began, and at meeting after meeting it was undeniably evi dentthatTillmnan was sweeping every thing before him, and that the old leaders no more could lead the people by thenose; then they took another tack, and now, since the "educational plan" works only for Tilliman, they propose a primary. Well, we don't want any primary now, and won't have it, for since we have been insult ed by-being told we lack sense, are Rwadials, agd. all such, we fear there is atrick in this new dodge. We are Democrats, are truer to the party than the small faction that claims that all the good of the party exists only in them, but when we are rebuffed, ill treated, and called Radicals, we will not submit as of yore. Tillman is to be our next governor. At the A ug ust convention we will endor& himn, or nominate him, it all amounts to the same thing, and then at the Sep tenber convention we will do likewise. While it is expensive, yet we are ready and willing to meet in as many conventions as the other side asks for, because we propose not simply to ominate Tillman, but to prevent if possible the other side from splitting away from the party. We have such an overwhelzping majority that we can be generous without running any risks BRu+ Tilman will be governor. The Clarendon Farmers' Assoiation En thuslastically Endorses Ben Tillman. Last Saturday at 12 o'clock the large body of farmers who had assembled from all parts of the county was called to order by Maj. L. H. DesChamps, president of the Farmers' County Asssciation. Louis Ap pelt was requested to act as secretary. Maj. DeRChamps in an earnestspeech au nounced that the object of the meeting was for the people of the county, especially the farmers and those who sympathize with the farmers in this movement, to have an oppor tunity of freely expressing their opinions on the living issues of the day, and he hoped that the expressions would be full and free. Mr. E. G. DaBose said that while he had many friends on the other side, yet he was opposed to all kinds of aristocracy, and was heart and soul in favor of Tillman. During his speech he shouted "1 am for Tillman! Hurrah for Tillman!" This brought down the house in a deafening cheer. There was no Mahonism, he said, to be apprehended in this State, for the farmers were the soul of the Democracy. He spoke at length, and with considerable emphasis. At the close of Mr. DuBose's speech. Mr. R. S. Harvin asked if there was an Antie Tillman in the house who desired to speak. Notreceiving a response, Mr. James E. Tin. dal was loudly called for. Mr. Tindal began by saying that it was at first thought to be unnecessary to call the Farmers' Association together, but the ac tion of the six members of the county exec utive committee in attempting to prevent the Democratic party from an early organi zation had put a new aspect on the face of things, and the farmers' association pro posed to take a hand in the matter. The evident intention of the executive commit tee was to change the Tillman sentiment in this county but a large majority of our peo ple refused to submit to such a proceeding. Mr. Tindal spoke at length making an able and logical argument, giving a history of the rise of the farmers' movement, and showing the necessity for such a step. He discussed a large number of the different measures af fecting the farmers' interest, showing that the farmers must be orgar'ized to derive ac tual benefit. In speaking of Mr. Till man he said his private character was absolutely unimpeachable. It was not however Mr. Tillman but the movement that the farmers had originated, and any effort to make it ap pear as if it was a campaign of Tillman against Earle or any other candidate was an injustice to the cause. Mr. Tillman was simply the exponent of the farmers' plat form, and any other candidate would have been as strongly opposed. He counseled organization, immediate and systematic or ganization. He spoke at length in a ration al, conservative, and dispassionate manner, and his remarks were well received and fr-equently appauded. Mr. E. G. DuBose again made another long speech, at the close of which he intro duced John R. Keels, Eso., of Sumter, who msde a lengthy speech, in which he advocat ed Tillman and the farmers' movement, and violently attacked the position of Col. Earle in the State canvass. He was often ap plauded. Mr. Keels is a lawyer from Sum ter, and the object' of his visit to this meet ing in Clarendon was by no means apparent to those present. X. C. Gallachat, Esq., was called for, an d endorsed the farmers' platform. He spoke principally in favor of the free public schools, and advised the people to a conser vative course. The farmers' movement, he believed, after a careful study, to be the salvation of the farmers. His remarks were frequently cheered. Mr. J. H. Lesesne was calldd for, but he declined making any remarks. Capt. D). J. Bradham was then loudly diled for, and it was insisted that he should come to the front. His speech was short but strong anid to the point, and was received with loud applause. Mr. J. Mi. Richardson read the follow ing paper. Wnmar.s self-government is the basis of ourgeifritthutons;,mad--,whereas equal rights or justice and a government in sym pathy with the whole people can only be mintained when the majority of the people who compose the Democratic party direct its policy;.and whereas a convention of the people assembled in Columbia in March and adopted a platform of principles with a view to that end, upon which all friends of justice and ig u.ni rights may stand: There fore, be u,. resolved by the assembly dfthe farmers and their friends 1. That we heartily endorse the platform of the March convention, and will support no candidate for public offices who oppose its principles. 2. That we recognize Mr. B. R. Tillman as the exponent of the principles and mecas uhre andc we advocate and especially the ineetadinalienable rights of self-gov enent, and the rule of the majority fairly exposed, and pledge him our united and earnest support as our candidate for gov ernor, until the election is decided by the Democratic party of the State. The resolutions were by a rising vote unanimously adopted. Mr. Jas. E. Tindal moved that one mam ber from each Democratic club in the county be requeste to meet in private conference immeiately after the adjocrament of this club. The meeting was then adjourned. The Tillmnan influence in this, county is overwhelmingly strong, and this large meet ing of over three hundred farmers unani mously endorsing Tillmran and the platform is an evidence of what the election will be. Tillmanism in Fairfield. Mr. RI E Mood, late principal of the Summerton higb school, and now a traveling correspondent of the Charleston World, writing from Winnsboro, gives the following sum mary-'of the political status in Fair fiea county: There are twenty to twenty-one Democrat ic clubs in Fairfield. 'T.welve clubs are Till man, and the following figures, given to the World. are as near correct as they can be had at this time: Jackson Creek club 70, 2 members are "anti;" Feastervilie 105, 2 anti; Green Briar (Maj. Woodward's old club) has endorsed Tillman; White Oak, Gen. Brat ton's club, 60 for Tillman to 21 against; Mossy Dale, almost solid; Monticello. sixty to fifty; Horeb, seventy-tive per cent. for Tiliman; Cedar Creek and Longtown, strong for Tillman; Blythewood, two-thirds for Tillnan; Ridgeway, for Tillman: Shady Grove, solid for Tillman. This leaves eight or nine clubs for Bratton, and it is believed that some of them will be carried by TIill man. At a meeting oi the Farmers' association executive committee, of one member of each club, held a few days ago, after a thorough canvass it was ascertained that the county stood, by their count, 64 per cent. for Till man. It is said that Maj. Woodward had to leave his own club and join a club in Winns boro in order to get to be a delegate to the county convention. Another Outrage. Mrs. Gadd:.

A Conservative Opinion from One of the State's .Most Prominent Men-Where the People Have Cause of Complaint, and flow it. is to be Righted-Tillman's Mistakes and Shorteoings. [Olarleston Wor61d.] Col. Robert Aldrich, of Barnwell, was in the city yesterday, and was niet at the Charleston hotel by at World reporter, who addressed to him several questions on the political situation in Barnwell and the State generally. "Four-fifths of oar people," said Col. Ald rich, "are for Til!mian." "N there likely to be any change in this condition between now and the election?" "Yes." "What?" "The other fifth will be for him by then." "To what do you attribute the strong sup port the Tillman movement is receiving throughout the State ?" "'There is a tide in the affairs of "en which, taken at the flood, leads on to for tune.' There has been a wave of popular discontent with our party methods gather ing in the State for years. Capt. Tillman has done a great deal to work it up, and at the opportune moment he leaped upon its crest, and it is bearing him into the guber natorial office." "Then you do not think it is dissatisfac tion with our State government or officials that inspires this support of Tillman ?" "Certainly not. We have had since 1876 a clean, economical government, and our offices have been filled by good me--I may say our best men- -and there is no ground for discontent on that score; but our meth ods haye been faulty, and it is against these that dissatisfaction has been growing for years, and Tiliman offering the occasion, the people are responding with earnestness and enthusiasm to secure a change. After all that may be said, the underlying princi ple which controls the actions of our people is a love of liberty, and they are not going to submit to the despotism of a party any more than they will to the despotism of a government, any longer than they can help it. For years past our elections have been decided in Columbia. I do not mean by the State tflicers alone, or by any ring-there is no ring that I know of-but by public men from all parts of the State, who meet there periodically, and who 'shake up' and give direction to events, and under our peculiar conditions the people have been forced to ratify their actions. In other words, instead of the people choosing their own servants, they have had candidates in which they have had little or no voice in the selecting, forced upon them with the alternative, "Take these or go to the Radicals." Now, Tillman saw this condition, and discerned the appro priate relief for it. He has inaugurated a policy by which the people will in fact, as well as in theory, choose their own servants. He offers to the people self-government, pure and simple, and they seized the oppor tunity with avidity, and hailed him as a liberator. "Ideas, not nien nor measures, govern this world, and it is this idea of their rights and privileges being brought within their own grasp that is controlling the people ot the State, and there is no power on earth that can shake them loose from it." "What will be the result of it all ?" "The immediate result will be the election of Capt. Tillman. That is a matter of small import. Men like him, while bold and ag gressive in the fight for power, are proverb ialy conservative once they have gained it. Ht, will administer the duties of the office as they are prescribed by law; no more, no less. "There has been one roarked good effect already; the people are more cheerful; they are working more hopefully; their farms and crops are in better condition than for years past, and generally life has taken the place of stagnation. But the ultimate re stilt will be of the greatest good to the State. Hereafter, when men aspire to office, they won't go to Columbia to make interest for themselves by the employment of the wiles and arts of the machine politicians, but they will go to the people, where the broad gauge principles of the statesman tell in the long run. Our young men will be taught to cultivate these, and the people themselves will be elevated and educated. Look at Georgia, where the people them selves, unaided by cliques and caucuses and conventions, have always elected their offic ials, governors, presidential electors, con gressmen, and state officers after thorough canvasses under the leadership of great men. The ordinary farmer in that State, at a cross roads store, can tell you more about the political history of this country, and understands the theory of the constitution, and the government under it, better than half the lawyers in South Carolina, and un der the paralyzing influence of our system over here, hundreds of Crawfords and Beri ens, Toombses, Cobb%, Stephenses, Herschel V. Johnsons, and Ben Hills have been born, lived, and died without anybody knowing it, and without knowing it themselves." "You think, then, that hereafter all candi dates will have to get down to personal electioneering for the offices they aspire to ?" "I do not think it much of a descent to get on the plane of the sovereign people. Some men elevate themselves upon an im aginary pedestal and preternd to look down upon the great body of their fellowmen. But they have always appeared very silly to sen sible people. If you mean that hereafter candidates will have to go out among the people and address public meetings, and visit the people in their homes, and present their views, and hear the views and opin ions of the people on public questions, (which many of our so-called public men could do with much profit to themselves,) in order to secure public favor, that is ex actly what I mean, and the man who ques tions the integrity of the people, or doubts that the people will do right when left a fair and unfettered opportunity to do so, is unfit to represent a free people, for he has no confidence in free institutions. That the people will do right is the keystone upon which the whole fabric of free government rests." "What of Capt. Tillman's charges against the State government and its officials ?" "Capt. Tillman is an untrained man, and of course he has made and will make mis takes. The most adept politicians and practiced statesmen make them. What wonder, then, that a man fresh from the farm should do likewise. But I have no ticed that whenever he is convinced of his errors, he has the manliness to acknowledge them and make suitable reparation. He has' made some very reckless charges: for in-' stance, the one against Judge Izlar was shockingly and painfully and totally unjus tifiable. Senator Izlar took an oath to sup port the constitution; that means he was to support it as he construed it, or understood it, and that his construction differs from Capt. Tillman's furnished ground Ior the charge of peijury is ahsurd. But, utter all, howv does that stand ? Day after day, wher ever you go, you hear menMose opportu nities to know better have been equally as good as Capt. Tillman's, ascribing the con duct of others who don't happen to please them, to the vilest motives and most crimni nail inducements. The only difference is that they do it in a sneaking, cowardly way, and Tillmian does it openly and above board. Hundreds, yes, thousands of the supporters of Tillan condenmn these things as positively ats his opponents tlO, but all the samue, there he standis as the great cham pion of popular rights, and the people are going to receive him with open arms in his mission~ of bringing to them their own, with al his imperfections."

M. 1KEELS, Agent, HOUSEHOLD NOTES. MRS S. A. NFTrLES. CAmxNG FaUIr.-Pare all fruit with a silver knife, and, as it darkens by exposure to the air, drop each piece as pared into cold water, and prepare only the quantity needed to fill two cans. Fruit looks and is better when whole, the juices are clearer, and the flavor is, more fully retained. It is diflicult to cook a large quantity even without injuring the shape. For this reason it is better to cook only enough to fill a few jars at a time. Cook fruit in a porcelain-lined or granite kettle. If tin is used it should be new. Cook evenly for fifteen minutes after it be gins to boil. There is no necessity for using sugar in canning fruit, but one tablespoonful to a quart of fruit is sometimes added. When ready to can have all articles needed close at hand. Set the can on two thicknesses of warm, wet flannel. Dip out the boiling fruit with a long-handled ladle, and fill the jar to overflowing. Run a knitting needle three times down to the bottom of the filled can, and lib erate the air bubbles. Then with a quick movement, break the bubbles lying on top and seal without the loss of a second. In ten minutes tighten the tops again with your wrench, and when the cans are cool wrap in paper, and keep in a cool, dry, dark place. Be sure there are no seeds or sediment on the rubber ring before sealing. Another way of canning fruit is as follows: Fill the jars with fruit and pour over cold water, slightly sweet ened, until the jars are tilled to over flowing and seal. Place a cloth in the bottom of kettle and fill with cold water, let the jars remain in the ket tle for fifteen minutes after the water begins to boil, or until the water boils in the jars. Remove and set out of a draught to cool. Before putting away tighten the tops. I have tried both methods with success, having them to keep perfectly sweet and firm until the next summer. I prefer the latter method, as it is much easier, and I think preserves the fla7or best. Cr.ri C.kE.-Two cups of coffee A ugar, butter the size of an egg, three eggs, a pinch of salt, two cups of sweet milk, two heaping teaspoonfuls of baking-powder sifted through six lev el cups of flour. Should you not wish to use biitter for shortening, take two thirds cup thick sweet cream, one and one-third cups of sweet milk, and about five cups of flour. This quan tity will make six layers of cake, three for each loaf. Beat the butter and sugar first, then add the eggs, beat until very light, then add the other ingredients, the flour and baking powder last. Bake in jelly-cake tins if you have them, if not, in pie-tins, in a moderate oven. When cool, sread the filling between and sprin kle sugar on the last layer. CREAM Foi FILLLNG.---Place one pint: of new milk in a new basin over boil ing water to scald; beat two eggs smooth wit two tablespoonfuls of flour, add one cup of sugar, stir into the boiling .milk until it thickens, re move from the fire, let cool, and flavor with lemon or vanilla. LEroN On~.or.-This cream may be used for filling the cake instead of that given, if desired; it also is nice for tarts: Juice, yellow rind (grated), and pulp of two lemons, being careful to remove every seed and not to grate' in the white part of the rind or t~he jelly will be bitter; beat three heap ing tablespoonfuls of flour with two small eggs, add two cups of wvater, two cups of coffee A or standard gran lated sugar, a pinch of salt, and tLhe lemon juice; place in a new tin dish in boiling water and cook until the mixture thickens. I sometimes add a layer of raspberry or other nice jam or jelly to the cream when spreadig it between cake layers, for variety. It is the attractive way in which food is arranged and served that adds: much to its relish. SILK must never be ironed, as the heat takes all the life out of it and makes it seem stringy and flabby.
