TE M~hG Th am S. A. NETTLESe Editor. WEDIESBAY. JULY 30, 1890. NEXT WEEK. We are crowded out again this week, to our regret. We will, how ever, next week pay our respects to teb intolerant persecution of our Anti aiondsin reference to church matters. Wshall, also, likewise, devote a small amount of space to the wanton mis statements made by the News and Courier about our campaign meeting, y in its headlines. The nn World gave a true but im pereot acoount of the meeting. In eparting the speeches the News and Courier reports fairly, but in express ing opin s and in descriptions it largely deals in imaginative fiction. A QUESTION IN ORA RMA L T'sDher: Has the pronoun the proper cams in the fonowing sentence: I saw the man who-you said would pay the account?" Au-No; it should be whom. We find the above in the query col uMn of last Sunday's Charleston Budget, and if our cotemporary's knowledge of the rules of grammar be as deficient as indicated in the above paragraph, the proper use of the Enbglis language will be very little advanced by such a teacher. We think -hatthe sentenc is correctly written, "who" being the subject of "would We, also, notice the following in another query: "A, B, C. and D are Sr." Will the Budget 'yexplainby what authority he enits a comma after "C?" OLY FOUR OUT OF TEN. The Sumter county convention met last Thursday. It was evident that the Tiaman delegates were in a clear =so* over both Earle and Bratton delegates and in consequence one of the stormiest meetings ever known in Sumter was held. The Earle and Bstion dt determined not to be comr y undone, asked for a owmpromm' as the two sides were y ally divided, and the Till a - delgates gracefully and magnan Incy yielded. Five Tillman and five Anti-Tillnan delegates were then elected. Of these five Anti delegates foer were for Earle and ofie for Brat to. It is thought that had not this omapromise been effected, there would have been a serious row with proba ble les of life. The whole thing nust have been in a fearfully turbu lent state. The convention was not even organized, and immediately after the were selected the con vention was adjourned, without at Iding to other important business. These delegates Pre elected for the August convention only, and the fight for the September convention w1 probably beas hot as this, unless it should happen that by that time the Antis get a majority. yf the Anti shond-hasve a recognized majority, the Tillmanite will of course yield, and there will then probably be a1 quiet meeting.

A Large and Enthusiastic Tihiman Meet ing in Manning, Which Is Pronounced the Most Orderly Campaign Meeting of the State-Roughs and Ruffianism Not Indigenous to Clarendon Soil. The long expected July 26th came at last, and with it the largest crowd that probably ever gathered in Man ning at one time. A heavy rain the day before laid the dust and made everything pleasant. Col. Earle and his wife came in :om Sumter the night before and stopped at the Cen tral hotel. Mr. James E. Tindal, al so, came in the afternoon before, and stopped at the Benbow house. Capt. Tiilman, Gen. Bratton, and the other speakers came in on the morning's train, and were taken to the Central hotel, except Capt. Tillman and Col. Pope, who were the invited guests of M. Clinton Galluchat, Esq. ATI MOTTo.s. The speakers' stand had been erect ed in the southwest part of the court house square, and early Saturday morning the Antis began putting up their mottoes, such as "Bratton in War and Bratton in Peace," "Hamp ton '76 Democracy Good Enough," etc., more than a dozen being placed on and near the stand. A large ban ner in honor of Gen. Earle especially, reaching across the street, was placed near Solicitor John S. Wilson's resi dence, and later in the day was sus pended between Levi's and Loyns's stores. One of the prettiest mottoes was a shield made of ferns, which was arr-anged in the shape of a pal metto tree and surmounted by the words Eer!le and Bratton. A fighting cock was woven on one side of a silk banner, on the reverse side of which was the name Joseph H. Earle. An other motto in the shape of a banner was hung in front of the speakers' stand early in the morning, but it raised such a howl of indignation from the Tillman men and of condem nation from the Antis, that in a short time the sheriff, by direction of Coun ty Chairman Davis, pulled the offen sive thing down. This insulting mot to had on one side, "Mahone started out a Democrat," and on the other, "Down with the Great Bamboozler." Had not this been taken down, the crowd would in a short time have at least pulled it down and trampled it in the dust. The Antis had no club banners, while the Tillmanites had all club i banners, there being one from each i Af the following clubs: Cross Roads, 3ilver, Summerton, Panola, Manning Fr-'mers' Platform, and Midway. i Each of these banners was for Till- i nan end reform. BADG~ . Fully he'* of the people wore :adges. Many of them had been got en at other campaign meetings, andi f50 were printed at the MANiJG 1 E s office. We piinted 500 for Till-' nan, 200 for Earle, and 5>0 for Brat on. The badges printed at the t Ei's office were much complimented 1 is the prettiest seen in the entire :ampaign. The Talman badges were listributed from our office, which was he most popular place in town. A ~rowd was in 2ront of it for hours. he MAnse Tim- ' is certainly the nost popular paper ever printed in 3arendon County. -rBE PEOCuSSION. By nine o'clock about five hundred ' >ersens were at the depot to meet the andidates, and at least nine tenths t >f them were for the reform move- is nent. As Capt. Tillmnan got off the rain the crowd gave three cheers for 1 111man, in their regular old rebel tyle. When the candidates got into L he carriages the party divided, the a 'ilman faction coming up the new ' ilroad street, and Col Earle and r1 en. Bratton going around the old e treet. Almost the entire crowd, Il owever, fell into line after the Till- ' " nan procession, while a few boys 2 iearing a baviner, "No Bolters at the e law Mill," followed the other side, a ith an occasiona1 weak cheer. About t~ ifteen or twenty ladies were at the N'esbyterian chprch to see Col. Etrle p ass by. An Earle banner was sus- d ended ."om the lamp in --ont of the 0: esbyterian church. BET cAYP; -GN M9?TANG Lar. ii No one had worked ha-der for ood order on this day than the Ma- b ING L.29, both publicly and privately, d no one was more gratified than b re were to heer en? the campaign par y speak of this meeting, as, all things it onidered, the most orderly of the as rtire campaign. The News and Cou ar and a few others had made des erate efforts to have this a rowdy I aeeting, but thanks to the good sense sa I most of the leading men in this d4 anty on both sides, and of the rank io nd fle, there was no disturbance D uring the entire day. One man, an h4 ti k'om Foreston, wasla little too IV eep in his cups, and becoming bois- i ~rous was gently remonstrated with T y a Ti'lmarite and quieted, but be- er i'ning another little racket ner" -- e a ti and disturbing him, the Ansti at a ace called an Anti policeman, andp ad him arrested, but as the Anti dis-. ca irber promised to be quiet, he was o~ med loose. This same party that in ght got into a serious trouble in of oreston. Praise is due to the whole ce mnty for this model meeting. Clar- ch adon hes, shown that her citizens are t roughs, even though so character sd by or"' mother coL'uty. We ad- th se Sumter to pattera a',,er us in be iteme"'y conduct. Y~ There were about a hu'ndred ladies ti and nert the grounds, and we sup- all se they were about equal'y divided P~ tween the two candidates. There ,s ~re probably one hundred and fifty w 'groes present, about twelve of whom th4 ~re Democrats, about equally divid- co between Earle and T'lma. OnDER. ruj he meeting was called to order about tru f past ten o'clock by County Chairman ele nes E. Davis, who requested Rev. James che :Dowell to open the exercises with prayer. tha mediately the audience beerne silent, ma : reverently listened to the devout im- mio rations for divine benedictions. At the rec se of the prayer, Mr. McDowell exhorted ren people to have a quiet and orderly meet- chai .one that would not bring contempt and kel honor to the fair name of our county. no .Davis then asked the crowd to respect. seel y listes to each speaker, not to interfere eve i questions, and to remembe; thet each the; tker was a guest of the county, to be vot< that he would certainly quell any disturb ance by having offenders promptly arrested. He asserted chat no purer Democracy exist ed in the State than in Clarendon, and that our county contained no boogn Democrats. He introduced G" Bcrairatton as the first snener~:. GENERAL BRrTTON was received with moderate applause. He appeared to be somewhat indisposed, and spoke for only a short while. The News and Courier has this to say of his speech: "Gen. Bratton, as in his previous speeches, attributed the cause of depression in South Carolina, if such existed, not to State legis. lation, but to the Federal authorities. If there be any cause for complaint look not to Columbia but to Washington. The full est and fairest consideration has been sho'wr the farmers by the State legislators and of ficials. We could not have asked for any thing more. The political excitement of to day is not attributable to the corruption o any of our legislators, but entirely to a spirit of personal and partisan gain, which can never be of any good. Such a spirit is a departure from our Democratic rules. I1 is what may properly be termed a political trust, in which certain agitators are to be rewarded with office. The organization of this party, he said, was based upon a con flict between the numerically strongest class and the minority. Such things have beer seen in South Carolina before, and too wel do we remember it. For who of you does not remember the days when this fair State was under the rule of the Republicans ani their bayonets? We, as Anglo-Saxons united our strength and regained our liber ties,. which, I am thankful to say, we have maintained since the day of our liberatior from Republican thraldom. We then de feated a perverted government and in its place enjoy a pure and honest government We must steer our ship of State clear of its impending danger, or we will be wrecked. "Yes, men of Clarendon. do you want t< know the cause of your trouble? [Voices 'Tell us all about it.'] Well, it is the Fed eral Legislature, which is g.owing more and more iniquitous every day. Not only are they burdening us with an outrageous tax, but now they propose to bind us with even more violent Ia--s. While these federal dangers are threatening us we have a repe tition of the ideas and methods adopted by these Radicals to secure posession of our grand old State. The appeal now is to those of our own fesh and blood, and when this is done we aze in greeter danger than if the negro majority were appe-le to. A divis ion caused by such dissension within the ranks of our own party would be undoubted political suicide. We should look very carefully and see if we are not placing our organization beyond our control. The ma terial is at hand and the temptation is of fered for sejious trouble. Bewaie that it is not used! If we p,.rt from our reliance in the bonds of principle that bind us together and rely on these combinations we will be cut up into bands of civilized savages, the strongest to take all while he has the power, which is to be taken away from him as soon as another clique has grown stronger. Such a state of affairs will result in a battle among our own people for supremacy, which will be gained by the strongest. I beg of you to be cautious of your action and not to act iastily." At the close of his address he received iome applause and a number of handsome bouquets. The crowd now began calling for 'illman, but Mr. Davis introduced COLONEL Pun.E. As Col. Earle arose he received a large ;hare of applause from his supporters, a aumber of Tillman men, through courtesy o one for whom all Clarendon has a high espect, joining in. But as the applause :ontinued for some time, counter cheers for 'illman could be heard, and for a moment t looked as if the conduct of so-me of the 'ormer meetings would be repeated. Almost nqtantly, however, both side-, seemed t-) -ealize the responsibility resting on Claren Ion for an orderly meeting, and the cheer ng ceased. We again quote from the News .nid Courier: "Col. Earle, with trub chivalry, addressed tis first remarks to the ladies of Clarendon. Iis kind but deserved words were greeted >y the la~'ies, who were in the carriages, Lot by hurrahs, but by their smiles of en ouragement. "Addressing himself to the discussion of he day, Col. Earle said: I was sorry that efore I came to Clarendon I had heard ertain repor ts. I heard that I should not peak in Clarendon county. I don't believe bat the men of Clarendon county could ave said or meant such a thing. [Voices: l'hey couldn't do it. Hurrah for Earle !'] If was said it was not said by a brave man, aid a coward could not do it. [Deafening pplause for Earle.] "You men of Clarendon know me. Many f you know me in person, and others by eputation. You know that whatever I say rmes from my heart, and I mean every 'ord regardless of the consequences. I am ere to-day as a Democrat, one who has uiith in the integrity of the Democratic par r', and one who is here to meet those who ave made charges against the government 'hich they cannot prove. In South Caro. na we have a Democratic government, hich is synonymous with a white govern kent. When we remember that we were uxed by corrupt men for corrupt purposes ud are now recovering from that misrule, pains me to> see one who fought with usu ow charging us with corruption and mis 2le. Especially painful is it when these iarges are made and they cannot be proven. is not the rank and file of the Democracy hich is denounced, it is its representative-s1 rid leaders. Tillman has said more unjust uings of you than either Scott or Moses, or ren Whittemore. If these charges are uade by a man, is it other than right that uey should be proven ? I can safely say iat no Republican has ever said more bit *r or violent things against the Democratic1 arty than Capt. Tillman. Col. Earle theni iscussed the false arraignment of the Dem :racy made by Capt. Tillman and conclu vely showed their fallacy. If I believed uese charges true I would be ashamed to be the Democratic party. [Applause for 2 illman and counter applause for Earle.] "For a few moments there was considera Le confusion. "Col. Earle continued t y dissect the ram ing talk of Tillmnan as to political leprosy, leged corruption and political perjury. ".T, as Capt. Tillman says, the Democrat legislators can be bribed with $25,000, we e indeed in a pitiable condition, and it ] Duld be almost preferable to have the Re iblicans return to power, for then we[ auld know what to expect. "Capt. Tillman and his committee have e id that your Representatives have been( ~bauched. Is that proper talk for a Dem- 1 'rat? Is it right ? Is it just ? J there is ue man here who can possibly charge the a emocratic party with corruption or dis- t mnesty I dare him to raise his hands. Time r s given for a response, but it was not I rthcoming. None of you dare make a s arge. Yet some of you endorse Capt. [ llman and what he has said. How differ tly would you think were anyone to circu- i '. a report that you had stolen a horse 1 d then did not attempt to prove it. "Col. Earle then discussed the charges of a litical peijury and their provocation. t4 pt. Tillman has gone so far as to charge y .e of our noblest sons, one who has led us war and in peace, with securing office by t~ shonorable means. Can you believe this h that noble patriot, James F. Izlar ? If *pt. Tillman cannot squarely say that this c arge is true, if he cannot prove it, then o as an honorable man ought to apologize. sj :urrah for Earle ! Hurrah for Tillman !] o' "After another outburst of conflicting en asiasm. Col. Earle continued: 'Let us all tI quiet,' he said. 'I will give you my views. si u may accept them if you want to. There [] no use of getting mad.' Just about this ae two men in the audienc were unusu-! tc y noisy and seemed to be on the war th. Col. Earle pointed to the men and I a d: 'See those men. Thcy are not going do anything; if they wanted to fight they i i uld not talk so much.' Several men in crowd called for peace, and the speaking utinued. 'Bra~ion, said Col. Earle, has never ac ied the Democratic party of being cor- p >t. He knew such charges would be uin-! h< e. He has accused us of manipulating I I etions, but he has never thought of fo rging us with dishonesty-, for he knew. t he could not prove it. Capt. Tillman or kes these charges, and they have the re power to huit us, as Capt. Tillman is Al >gnized as a Democrat. Then aain, you er tember that at Lancaster Capt. Tilmnan rged that the Democratic party has not , pr t its pledges. Then he says you have; self-government and that you have netver' or a a live candidate for governor. Did you ca e see Capt. Tillman or Mr. Gary before he r were named and selected for you to ed for? You will have to swallow them th, then amusingly illustrated how Col. Gary and Col. Pope divided the spoils on the farmers' ticket. He ridiculed the idea of I the Tillmanites asking for farmers as a re form and ending up by making a ticket on which it would be impossible to find but two farmers. Capt. Tillman, I want you to know, is no clodhopper, as he calls himself, but a well-to-do farmer, who owns two farms. Yes, they have a place for Mr. Tin dal also. I believe Mr. Tindal is a lawyer. At this the aspiring Secretary of State shook his head, whereupon Col. Earle said: 'Well, if you are not one you have always tried to be a lawyer.' "Is it not ridiculous for you to cry for self-government and yet have a ticket named in a room at the Mansion House? "He then related the various stands of the Tailmanites on the primary question. Do you not know.that it Tillman wants a pri mary his following will give it? The only thing to save the Democratic party, if it is saved at all from serious division, is the pri mary. "If the August convention should nomi nate Capt. Tillman, or even if the Septem ber convention nominates him, there will be thousands who will not vote for him, and there is a good chance for the State to fall an easy prey to the Republican party. Why should the primary plan become wrong so soon ? [A voice: 'The rain makes the change necessary.'] A reformer always does what is right. Capt. Tillman told me at George town that he would advocate the primary plan at the convention. Turning to Capt. Tillman: 'Did I understand you correctly?' "Tillman: 'I'll do it.' "Earle: 'It the primary election is or dered, you will see some people get left, and I think Capt. Tillman will be among them.' [Voices: 'Never.' 'Yes, he will.') T you are not afraid of the primary, then why do you object to it? [Voice: 'There's a trick in it.'] Answering the author of the suggestion of trickery Col. Earle said: 'Those who suspect others of trickery are not beyond suspicion themselves. I can't see why the people of South Carolina should defraud each other. If the two factions of the State can be brought together it is far. more important than the election of any one man. I'll fight Capt. Tillman as long as I can and if de feated will vote for him.' [Deafening hp plause for Earle.] "Col. Earle then discussed the March convention. He asked it' the State did not already have a Democratic organization. Some one answered it was run by the ring, but refused to name any one connected with the ring. "He explained his connection with the farmers' nomination to the satisfaction of all. Col. Earle at this juncture asked for his time, and the chairman announced that he had spoken an hour. He then hurriedly e efended the board of agriculture, the pen itentiary, the railroad commission, and the legislature from the charges made against them. "In ending his admirable and complete argument in vindication of the State, the Democracy, and its representatives, he ap pealed to the audience to do all it could to secure a primary, the only salvation of the party." At the close of his speech Col. Earle re ceived an armful of bouquets and consider able applause. He had made one of his best efforts during the campaign, but the people had already read or heard his argu ments, their opinions were already formed, and they saw no reason, from anything he had said, to change their minds; so, impa tient to hear their gallant leader, the great bamboozler, as he is styled by his political haters, the shout went up for Tillman. TILLMAN WAS LNTRODUCED, and a mighty shout, loud and prolonged, rose from every part of the crowd. They had quietly and orderly listened to Gens. Bratton and Earle, and now their time for applause had come. Tillman and every one of his supporters were delighted and elec trified by the almost unanimous enthusiasm. Fully three-fourths of the crowd was with him. The News and Courier thus reports his speech: "Capt. Tillman did not make a speech on the issues of the day. He saw that most of is followers did not want argument, they wanted to see him. The Democratic circus has been on the road for seven weeks, and t was surprising to see so many people out to see the performance to-day.1 "Voices: 'We come to see Tillman !' "Tillman: 'Well, it does look so, for when 1 I wasn't in Charleston they didn't have any-1 one at the meeting.' [Hurrah for Tillman!J "'f I am to speak to you then bottle upi our enthusiasm. So far as I can see, the campaign speeches have done no good.' ] "He told of the difference of his reception o-day and four years ago when he visited danning to make a speech. Then he had b walk up town unescorted. Here theret sas an unprovoked outburst of Tillmania.i rhe leader turned to his underlhngs and aid: 'You are hollering for Tillman and nany of you don't kmnow why.'1 "Voice: 'We want you for Governor.' "Tillman: 'Those of you who haven't easoned out that desire know it by intui ion. You have smelled it out.' "He asked his auditors what they wanted liscussed, whether it should be 'Peter's ife's mother.' or the issues of the day. h? crcwd cried back that he should me'':e e is own selection. Thea the new-fangled E teformer discussed the necessity for his'i farch convention and how Col. Gar'y hap ~ened to be named on his ticket. He reit- i rated his charges about the nouentity of' a c rovernor, aristocracy, the Jerry Smith r ligarchy,' and the needlessness of attrib ting our troubles to federal legislation. "Then he relapsed into his talk abont ings and concentric rings. Tillman thena omplimented the Farmers' Association fora s work and said that they had given up :e study of principles and were now tsking ~ a the methodq. The other side don't want e LS to handle the methods, and 'that's what's t e matter with Hannah.' "Here the crowd yelled, and Capt. Tillman ~ shed them to 'shet up.' "If you ask me what's the matter with il outh Carolina, I simply say that you have n ~eglected your duties as citizens and our ex- p ting affairs are due to your continued re- b isal to cast your ballots for the right man t the right time. When I am Governor we 8 :1 have a Government of the people, by e people, and for the people, instead of a overnment of the people, by the poli cians, for the office-holders. "I beg you to send good legislators to the ~egislature. and I beg you, for God's sake, 0 > keep your fence-straddlers at home. 0 Applause.] Lord, what a falling off the nce there has been recently ! Guard a ainst such cattle, for when they get to . olambia they will be bamboozled and de- e uched, as thiey have been in the past. 0 "I have been rather harshly talked about 1 :d written about. 1 have said harsh ings and bitter things, but, as God hears e, I have never said what I did not mean. bave paid no special respects to people f ith an honorable tacked on their name. c tpplause.] "The only reason I want to be Governor to emancipate the people of South Caro a from political bondage. "Capt. Tillman then rehashed the oft-told hi ory of the Farmers' Association, and its at- p ~mpts to elect Govesnors. 'WVhy didn't T u come out in 1888,' asked some one. "Tillman: 'Simply because I didn't want ,and because if I had every one would - ~ve said I was only an office-seeker.' "Col. Earle: 'In speaking of my candida by the farmers, I want you to explain e thing. What did you mean when you d you selected the man with the least tar lI him?' a "Tilhman: 'I meant you had sonic sympa- r y for the old things. I meant no slur or spicion upon your character or record.' C [rrahs for Earle and Tillman.] 0 "'Tillman: 'Earlc saiys hc wants a primary defeat us, and lhe knows he caue't do0 it.' "Earle: 'Yet you arc afraLid of the p'riniar3v' ad won't give it to the people.' ni "Tillmanu: 'i'm not the boss of the party. j, an't rule the people.'

We'll have a primary right 'i e now with this crowd,' and then followv a scene which resembled pandemonuiu'm, result of which has already been given. primary unanimous, but there was no re sponse. "Then Tillman paid his usual compli nent to the News and Courier, referring to it as the lrlot which has dominated in the politics of South1 Carolina. This was pro vocation for loud and pronounced applause for the News and Courier. To the crowd which cheered the News and Courier and its representative Tillman said: 'If you peo ple read any other paper you wouldn't be so besotted. You only read one side.' The only reply was applause for the -News and Courier. "He said that the only counties where there was a chance fo, a split were Charles ton, Richland, Sumter, and Fairiield. We will take the white men and negroes of these counties by the throat and beat them into line. [Hurrah for Tillman.) "A Voice: 'Did you say you would abolish the lien law?' "Tilhuan: 'I can't do that. The Legisla. ture only can decide.' "Earle: 'I suppose he means if you favor the lien law, and would recommend its re peal.' "Tillman: 'The lien law has teen our -greatest curse. The Alliance will give all the credit needed. I want the lien law re pealed. I am not afraid to say this.' "Then Tillman talked in his stereotyped language about the board of agriculture and the itslicized frauds, and the italicized rich man, and the poor man who goes to the penitentiary. "Col. Earle asked him if the juries were not responsible for this. 'A Voice: 'I want to know if you ever tok back anything you ever said.' "Tillman: 'Where did you come from? I want to say that anyone who says I ever retracted anything siiuply lies. Of course I except the apology I made to Col. Dargan.' Capt. Tiliman continued for some time, covering the old ground." At the close of his speech Capt. Tillman received a number of handsome bouquets and a long and wild burst of applause. A horseshoe made of choice flowers was sent him by a lady admirer, and called forth froi him a little speech to the ladies. Capt. Tillman was followed by four other speakers in the order named: Col. Y. J. Pope, candidate for attorney general; Col. H. L. Farley, candidate for adjutant and inspector general; Mr. W. D. Maytield. can didate for superintendent of education; and Mr. James E. Tindal, candidate for secre tary of Sf:te, each of whom is running on the Tillman ticket. We would like to give a syLopsis of each of these gentle men's speeches, but we have taken up so much space with the first three that we have not space. There were none of the Anti Tillman candidates here except the two for Governor. The day was cloudy, and two or three showers of rain fell during the speaking, but the crowd held together well. The meeting was adjourned about three o'clock. BUCKLEN'S ARNICA SALVE.

The readers of the Tnms will be pleased to learn gat there is at least one dreaded disease that science has been able to cure in all its stages, and that is catarrh. Hall's catarrh cure is the only positive cure now known to the medical fraternity. Catarrh being a constitutional disease, requires con stitutional treatment. Hall's catarrh cure is taken 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 nature in doing its work. The proprietors have so much faith in its curative powers that they offer one hundred dollars for any case that it fails to cure. Send for list of testimonials. Address. F. J.
