THE MING TIMSo ran IM-ing, 0. C S. A. NETTLES, Editor. WEDNESDAY, JULY 9. 1890. Salem has few Anti-Tillmanites, and it is almost an assured fact that no Anti-Tillman club can be formed over there. There are not fifty Anti-Till manites in Salem. Our business men are totally care less about the future progress of our town. They are not imbued with enough energy to meet together to discuss probable benefits. All the clubs must meet Saturday, July 19th. Let every member who can possibly do so be at his club meeting promptly. The meeting Aug. 2d is also important. Be sure to at tend these two meetings. It is now almost an assured fact that Clarendon will have but one county convention, that on Aug. 9th. Delegates to the State conventions for the season will then be elected, and all county officers will be nom inated. . Mr. Junius E. Scott has accepted the position of editor of the Sumter -Watchnan and Southron, and began his work on that paper last week. Mr. Scott is an easy and fluent writer, has had some experience in newspa per work, and will give his readers something to think about. Clarendon must be the banner coun ty in the State for order on the 26th. Of course we will "whoop it up" for TiBman, but we must give a decent hearing to every candidate. Tillman is a good speaker, talks sense, and can easlyh6ld his own with any of the candidates. We do hope that the Manning meeting will prove the qui etest of the campaign. Give every speaker a quiet and attentive hearing. The Tilimanites attempted to hold a private conference in Columbia last Monday night, but a sharp newspaper reporter stole a march on them, got his ear to the key hole, and next morning reported full proceedings of the private conference. But when they got the private remarks public, it was all right, all for Tillman, and nothing in the conference to be ashamed of. And Tillman will get there. Seven county conventions have so far been held, and six of them are for Tillman. Abbeville, Chester, Colle ton, Hampton, Marlboro, and Union, .ve elected delegates for Tillman, while Georgetown is against him. These seven counties cast sixty votes, and of these sixty votes Tillman has fifty-four, or nine-tenths. And so it ..' v be when the long roll is called in " Columbia at the August and Septem ber conventions. Day after day and week after week we hear the cry that the political tide has turned, but to our vision the great Tilman tidal wave is simply rushing forward, gathering increased force as it goes, climbing higher and higher. SA few clubs opposed to Tillman meet eamlgaseesoutions condemning the '-iarmers' movement, but the vast ma jority of the Democratic clubs in this State endorse Tillman and reform; ani Tilinan will be elected. KThe regular odline politicians are n aturally ilearly'all on the anybody lo-beatifillman side, and were it not for the fact that the reform side num, ~bers three or four to one,th ow ing a great prepond numbers the Till, e would be ~~gine of success. The ensnpporting Tillmnan are few of ~ themn politicians, but are a quiet, cori niesrvative set, who desire to do what is ~best for the country. Taking our ~coatyas afair sample there will be -found comparatively very few who can be bought over, either by a silver dollar, a drink of whiskey, or a bull doze. They will be found standing Brm, shoulder to shoulder, when the Slast roll call is heard. TiSummerton Star has changed bands, and Mr. J. E. Gardner is now the editor. In his farewell Mr. P. G. Bowman, who has been editing the perthe two months of its existence, asthat there was such a pressure ogtto bear on him that he had dedebetween financial embar rassment or advocacy of Tillman, and as his convictions were of an Anti P ilinan character, he would not com iosehis principles: so he sold out inbmterest in the paper to Mr. Gard nor, who proclaims his hearty support ;Tmlman and reform. All this sim ply corroborates our views, that Till ~man is and has been very strong in thiis county. But we had no idea he was as strong as he really is. He gains new strength every day. To think of 5of it: a large, strong, and influential R Tiflan club in the town of Foreston, an sd Summer ton likewise for Tillman! SI this "campaign of education" does not soon terminate, all opposition to m.a will disappear. We suppose, however, there will be a few Anti Tillinan delegates in the county con - egion, but there will be only a few. To-morrow an Anti-Tillmnan confer nce will be held in Columbia, and anybody opposed to Tillman is invit ed to attend. The object apparently ,aimed at is for everybody to come to geter, get all their heads in a caucus, ~and see if they can't scratch out some plan to consummate the slogan, 'any thing to beat Tmlman.' But Tillman won't be beat. Conferences, however, are all the fashion now, and by these conferences we suppose the Anti side of the house is trying to prepare for thorough organization. An Anti con ference is said to have been held in Manning last Monday. The Tnus man was not invited nor was he fur nished with any part of the proceed igs, but we will wager two cents that Clarendon sends a straightaut solid Tillman delegation to Columbia, Sit matters not how many conferences are held. In this connection, let it be. remembered that the sentinels muabrremain at their posts till the war is over. The Tillmanites do not need -so much conference, as we have some .ting better yet, regularly organized Democratic clubs, nevertheless we must be cautious and vigilant and not over confident, and an occasional Till man conference, just to keep in the L~fasicm might not be a bad idea after ButDn Tiliman will be electd any.. County Executive Committee Meeting. The county executive committee met in the court house last Saturday, at 10.15, and was called to order by County Chairman James E. Davis. The following members were present: . A. Mills, E. G. Duoose, R. M. McKnight, J. S. Wilson, C. S. Land, W. D. Gamble, C. M. Davis, J. S. Cole, J. E. Tindal, Jno. 0. Brock, and E. D. Hodge. Mr. Eavis read the call of the State execu tive committee, and stated that he had call ed this meeting, in order to reconsider tht action of the last meeting, as it was nece-s sary. under this call of the State executive committee, tW have a county convention at an earlier date than agred upon. It was moved that, under this last call of the State executive committee, the clubs in this county be organized Saturday, July 19th; delegates be elected Aug. 2d: and the county convention be held Aug. 9th. This motion was adopted. , Col. Brock asked, as a number of the members of his (Friendship) club would be absent on the 19th, that his club be allowed to organize July 12th. On motion this re quest was granted. The following rules and regulations, gov erning the organization of the party in this county, were then adopted: At a meeting ot the Democratic Executive Committee of Clarendon county held on the 4th of July, 1890, the following paper was ordered published for the information of the Democratic clubs of Clarendon county, viz: 1st. That on Saturday, the 19th day of July 1890, all clubs now in existence shall elect officers for the next two years, and that there shall at the same time be a complete revision of the rolls of such clubs; except the Friend ship club, which may be organized on the 12th of July if they so desire. 2nd. That on the same day above named, July 19, 1890, all new clubs may likewise be organized; provided, no new clubs shall be organized unless at least fifty Democratic voters join in the formation of such new clubs. 3rd. The presiding officers of all reorgan ized clubs and of each new club which may be formed shall cause a certified roll of the members of their respective clubs, to be de livered to the chairman of the County Exec utive Committee on or before the 9th day of August, 1890. 4th. That the certificates of the said of ficers shall state that the club roll so certi fied to contains the names of actual members of such clubs and that from the best infor mation obtainable the persons whose names appear in the respective rolls are not mem bers of any other club and are Democratic voters. II. That a County Democratic Convention for the purposes hereinafter named shall be held in the court house in Maining on Sat urday, the 9th day of August, 1890, at 11 A. .; that such convention shall be com posed of delegates to be elected by the sev eral clubs in the county in the proportion of one delegate for each club and one delegate for every 25 enrolled members; that the election of such delegates shall be held by the respective clubs, at the usual places of meeting, on Saturday, the 2nd day of Au gust, 1890. III. That said convention is hereby called for the following puiposes: 1st. To elect a County Chairman and Ex ecutive Committee. 2nd. To elect delegates to the State Con vention, which is caled to meet in Colum bia on the 13th day of August 1890; to de cide the manner of making county nomina tions; and for the transaction of any other business that may be brought before it. By order of Executive Committee. JAMES E. DAVIS, J. A. Mn.rs, Chairman. Secretaty. In reply to a question about reorganiza tion the chairman ruled that in reorganizing the old clubs the nanme of no person shall be retained on the club roll unless by re quest of each individual member: in other words that old club rolls shall be thrown aside, and new rolls made out, the same as if it were the .organization 'of a vTeWhb. Jos. F. Rhame, Esq., sent in a letter re questing, as he would be absent a large part of the~ime, that his name be withdrawn from the committee of arrangements. J. S. Wilson, Esq., was elected in his place. O'motion of Mr. Tindal the president of e a club was requested to collect and for ward by July 21st as much as five cents for each member on his club roil, for campaign purposes. The committee then adjourned, after one of the'quietest and most harmonious ses sions of the executive committee held in this county. Gen. Stackhouse's Speech. If the very large number of persons in town last Friday is any indication of the public pulse, we would say the people are thinking more in thuis county than ever be fore. It was understood that it was to be an Alliance meeting, and the persons in at tendance were principally Alliance men. In order, however, to allow anyone to hear Gen. Stackhouse's speech, it was decided to have him speak first, before the Alliance met, and to invite the public to listen to him. At exactly half past eleven o'clock Mr. James E. Tindal called the meeting to order, and stated this was a public meeting and would be so until Gen. Stackhouse had spoken, after which the county alliance would hold its regular quarterly meeting. Mr. Tindal divided the people into six grand classes, each of which was interde pendent. The farming interest was the poorest represented, and the one which the Alliance was endeavoring to advance and to raise equal to any other class, and unless their condition was raised the farmers would be lowered into a degraded and unrespect ed class. He spoke for some time, and then in complimentary terms introduced Gen. Stackhouse, president of the State Alliance. Gen. Stackhouse at once proceeded to his speech and first discussed the sub-treasury bill, which, while denounced by some, was in his opinion a good and wise scheme. In 1850 the farmer owned 70 per cent. of the wealth of the country; in 1800, 50 per cent.; in 1880, 30 per cent.; and now the farmers owned less than 25 per cent. of the wealth of the country. The agricultural values of the country have, also, been constantly de creasing, and lands and products alike con tinue decreasing in value. The number of small farms is constantly decreasing, wvhile the number of mortgages is increasing. The farming classes live and dress poorer than other classes, and receive less for their labors. The farmer has to live hard and live with the most rigid economy. High priced money and low priced farming prod ucts hurt the farmers more than any high tariff. The strong. st objection to the sub treasury bill urged in congress was that 20 per~ cent. was not a sufficient margin to a! low for fiuctuations in the farm products market, that these tiuctuations sometimes amounted to moie than 50 per cent. This he considered one of the strongest arguments in favor of the bill, as it showed, to what disadvantages the farmer was subjected in placing his crop on the market. Could he hold this crop a few months, the price would go up. Prices are always lowest when the farmer must sell and highest when he must buy. The saving to the farmers in one season on one cotton crop alone would far more than pay for the building of the ware houses, and as far as the Northwest was concerned, they were greatly more oppress ed than we of the South. The treasury bill is no more unconstitu it has an advantage in giving a margin of 20 per cent., while the national banking act gives only 10 per cent. The constitution gives Congress the right to legislate for the general welfare. The farmers have nobly but not wisely hid their wounds and con cealed their discontent, but by this course they are surely tending to financial rain. Those that oppose the bill argue that it is unconstitutional and class legislation, but it is not nearly so much so as the national banking act. It is a thousand times more for the general welfare, as it is to relieve a needy and dependent class, but the largest class in the goveriinment; whereas the bank ing act is fur only a few comparratively. The adoption of the sub-treasury selieuie would of course cheapen money, as it would remove the power to oppress. It would, however, do violence to no one, since it would simply tend to lighten the burden of the producer. Gen. Stackhouse spoke for iarly an hour, and throughout his speech was atten tively listened to. His arguments were strong and forcibly put. Gen. Stackhouse is an able speaker, but much of the effec tiveness of his speaking is lost by confining himself too closely to his manuscript. He should throw his manuscript aside. The day was extremely hot, and the close atten tion paid by the densely packed house was quite a compliment to Gen. Stackhouse. The speaking was held in the court house, and there were present about five hundred persons. Our notes of the speech are necessarily brief and incomplete, and by no means do justice, but our readers will nevertheless find therein considerable food for thought. Mr. S. E. Ingram moved that this meeting endorse the sub-treasury bill. The motion was unanimously adopted, after which the meeting adjourned. County Alliance. The county alliance met in the court house last Friday at half-past eleven o'clock. After the regular opening exercises Mr. 31. L. Donaldson, of Greenville, State business agent, was introduced to the Alliance. Mr. Donaldson began his speech by com menting on the wonderful growth of the Alliance. It had grown until it was. the largest organization in the country. It is still growing, and is doing great good. The farmer has been so pressed that he has at last aroused himself, and is now reading, thinking, and investigating for himself. The farmers know more, and many have learned more, the past twelve months than the preceding twelve years. He thought we had now got to the point where we could see brightness ahead, and he believed sub stantial good would come upon the people. A financial business system is absolutely necessary to keep the Alliance together and working for good. Farmers had no fitan cial organization till the Alliance was estab lished. He explained in detail the work ings of the Exchange, comparing it with other similar organizations, and showing the great advantages to be derived there from. It is not the railroads and money corporations that are injuring us. He depre cated that idea. It was the force of circum stances. If our people were more prosper ous, had niore money, then we would be more respected and have more influence, becoming a mighty power in the land. Let's stop fussing, and villifying, and abusing other people, and let us get above that pa ition where we have to get some merchant or man with money to '"run" us. If we get in the pathway of success and accumulate property, then, and not till then, will we become a power for influence. He believed the agricultural interests of dhe South to be growing, and our prospects for prosperity. to be bright. Thie great evil that threatens us is from the federal government. It is not so much a financial depression that hurts us, but a financial extravagance. The State Exchange is working successfully, is simple in its plan, and will the coming year show a large and decided growth. The State Exchange had already lowered the' prices of standard goods in every part of the State, anid if con tinued and properly supported high prices will soon be a thing of the past. The State Exchange is a creature of the Sub-Alliance, and its usefulness depends entirely ou the patronage of these Sub-Alliances. Co-oper ation is absolutely necessary. Mr. Donaldson's speech was interspersed with numerous anecdotes, and was a clear and succinct idea of the operation of the Alliance Exchange. It was listened to ,vith close attention. All his remarks were con servative, and we wish every man in the county could have heard what he had to say. After Mr. Donaldson's speech the subject of bagging was discussed. The difficulty of obtaining cotton bagging was explained, and at the suggestion of Gen. Stackhouse, the motion adopted at the last meeting to use cotton bagging was reconsidered, and it was agreed to use another kind of bag ging. Jute bagging will, however, not be used. Mr. J. E. Tindal was elected a delegate to the State Alliance. The following officers were elected and installed for the ensuing year: J. E. Tindal, president; L. H. DesChamps, vice president; D. J. Bradhami, secretary; D. R. Chewning, treasurer; Rev. H. W. Mahoney, chaplain; Dr. I. M. Woods, lec turer; R. R. Dingle, steward: J. S. Evans, door-keeper; .J. Elbert Davis, assistant door keeper. The several sub-alliances were requested to send in their orders for bagging at once. Mr. Donaldson explained the warehouse scheme, and a committee of one from each: sub-alliance was appointed to solicit sub scriptions for building a county warehouse. The alliance then adjourned after a long and pleasant session. Children who are troubled with worms may be quickly relieved by giving them Dr. L H. Mc1ean 's Liquid Vermituge.

There are many women who are wholly unfit to do even the lightest of their household tasks, yet they are obliged to do them all for want of means to employ help. Every mo ment's work must be carefully planned to save time and strength, and even then how hard it is to get through with it all! Then to have it made doubly bard by careless people who know little of the physical pAin cauised by overwork! Is it any wonder that the overwrought nerves give way, and the wearv worker scolds? Such a state of affairs is certainly not con ducive to sweet temper. The sharp words may be bitterly regretted and atoned for by extra attentions during the rest of the day, and after all wlho has a right to judge her? If hus bands would only be a little more thoughtful, much of home unpleas antness could be easily avoided. They will not try to realize half what woman suflers patiently. There are many good, thoughtful men, but there are many more who will see a woman dragging aloug day after day under burdens much too heavy for her to bear. What a fuss there would be should a woman go into her husband's office and begin to tumble thiing-s about in search of a let ter or paper she may happen to want, and then go away and leave drawers and boxes in a tumbled condition ! Yet men will do that very thing in the honse, and consider themselves greatly abused if anything is said to them about it. When men learn to be as neat about the house as they want their wives to be, there will be fewer scolding wives. -T1heHusdeepe. Rustic cake is vry nice.

Ill's catarrh cure is takei internally, acting directly upon the blood and mucous surfaces of the system, thereby destroying the foundation of the disease, and giving the patient strength by building up the constitution and assisting niture in doing its work. The proprietors have so much faith in its curative powers that they offer ore hundred dollars for any ease that it fails to cure. Send fur list of; testimonials. Address. F. J.
