LOUIS APPELT, Editor. Wednesday, June -0, 1894. The Florence Times is soon to be issued as a semi-weekly. The State campaign meeting will be held in Manning on July 10th. Tillman will beat Butler with about the same majority he beat Shepperd. From the investigations going o in Washington it looks like some o the Senators took a little $ugar i3 their'n. Candidates, don't be bashful. Come forward and put your cards in the Times, and let the people know what office you want. . 1 We suspect the Columbia Journal will cut considerable Capers in the campaign while the Ball is rolling around the State. James E. Tindal has the interest of the people at heart, and, if elected Governor, will give us an administra tion that the people will feel proud oL The Prohibitionists of Columbia are jumping the liquor sellers. A number of cases was reported to Mayor Sloan last Monday. What will the harvest be ? When any of our former opponents apply for admission into the Reforlm ranks see that their pockets are not filled with dynamite to destroy the Reform household. Captain John G. Capers, of Colum bia, who -efused to obey orders when the Darlington trouble occurred, is one of Senator Butler's managers ir the present campaign-. From all over the State we hea encouraging reports of Mr. Tindal'i candidacy for Governor. He if looked upon as the right man to car ry on the Reforms started by Be' Tilman, There is to be a meeting of the mil lionaires held in New York to-morrov for the purpose of forming a compan to develop the South by inducing im n and establishing industria When you see a man going abou the country selling flour or some thing else, and at the same time talk ing politics, put himi down as a po litical fence builder for some candi .date who is trying to make inroad' on the Reform Movement. The Democratic Clubs throughou the county should have meetings a often as practicable to discuss tah political situation. This is a ver important campaign year, and th voters should keep informed so tha they may act intelligently. James E.LTindal entered the gu bernatorial race at the earnest dl mand of his friends from all over th< State, and those friends will work foi his election, because they know ha< Mr. Tindal been allowed his choici he would have prefered reting t private life to look after his persons affairs.

Wnthe Reformers tookf charg otthe politics of this State flhe oppo neits of the Movement stood off ani belittled every act. Now that the; se the Reform Movemenlt is a per manent firture there is a regula scramble goingn to get in. Johi km Vener, one of the old timerm ca'me over last wee boy and soul he has not asked for anything _ye lit will do so lafer, modesty requirei him to wait until his chair geti Senator Butler is making his figh fr a retun to the Senate in his owr aynd that way is to split the Re form ranks if possible. Those of tbi Conservative faction that have noi caught the Senator's cue declare then wll not vote for him, but we wil gra button he will receive the Coratives' full -strength in the prmay.Before the. battle is ovei th peoe will see the fight amount. in oa contest between the people and the authorities at Washington. The people should look about the county for a competent man to fill the office of County Supervisor. This is a new office, to take the place of the County Commissioners, and it shoudubldied ~by aman of business uiictions. There is a consider able difference between a jolly good fellow and a man of business, and whwhieit is pleasant to come in con tact with a jolly good fellow, a busi ness man is what the people need for po o ioas imaasw e beforeO you act. The effort to destroy the registra tion law failed so far by the Supreme Court postponing the hearing until the November term. A man that will use such a man as Mitchell Jacobs as a tool'to besmirch another man's character for political revenge is villain enough to employ a demon to burn a house at midnight or rob a pauper of hia last morsel of bread. The first gun of the campaign was fired last Monday at Rock Hill, and from the tone of the press dis patches we gather the following con clusions: Governor Tillman carried the day by an overwhelming majority nothwithstanding the fact of several hundred of Senator Butler's friends from North Carolina were present to play the booming act. James E. Tindal made a telling speech. That the Reform Movement is stronger than ever. The meeting was good natured and no attempt was made to howl down the speakers. The cam paign opened with good conduct, and we hope it will continue as it began. Hon. John Samuel Verner, ex Comptroller General, and former law partner of John C. Haskell, has an nounced his conversion to the Re form Movement, and in doing so he comes out boldly and offers himself for service. Hurrah for John Sam! The doors are open to converts, and as many as will come over will be received with a welcome. The ushers will see to it that all newly made converts will be given good comfort able seats in the rear end of the structure where they can work for promotion. At present there is no room on the front seats as those seats are all occupied by those who were present at the laying of the founda tion. The new converts will, there fore, be content with the best seats the Reformers can afford at present for it will not do to give an untried man preference over one that worked when work was needed. If there are any more John Sam's now is the time for them to come in, provided they are willing to come in on pro bation that the people may test their sincerity. The Democratic State Executive Committee was in session in Colum bia on the 7th inst. Senator Butler was in the city at the time, and he dil not make a request of that body to place a separate box in the pri mary for the people to vote for United States Senator. Now after all the arrangements have been made for the campaign he wants the committee to change things and give him a separ ate box. When the Reformers asked the Executive Committee to give them a primary in 1890 the request was refused until after the campaign was well under way, then the Con servatives seeing Tillman would de feat them with their own plans want ed to swap horses in the middle of the stream. Senator Butler had a fair opportunity to ask the Executive Committee to place a separate box in the primary, but he did not take ad vantage of it, and now it is too late 'to alter the plan of campaign simply to gratify the whim of an interested candidate. Who ever is elected United States Senator will virtually be nominated by a primary as the candidates for the Legislature will be required to announce who they will support for this position and the voters will vote for them accordingly. We publish in another column an -editorial from the Piedmont Head light which is a direct charge of the basest kind of treachery against Con gressman Shell. If what the Head light says is true, then Shell ought to be made to understand that his )double dealing will not be tolerated. If he wants to support Senator But ler for re-election he has a right to do so, but he has not a right to pretend friendship and gratitude for the Re form Movement, and secretly try to assasinate the acknowledged leader of the Movement. If Congressman .Shell has recorded his treachery, the record should be published whether Shell denies it or not. We hope there is- no truth in tbe Headlight's charge against Shell, and base that hope on the Headlight's manner of fighting men it does not agree with. Take Congressman Mc Laurin, a triter and more loyal Re former does not exist, and if he was -disposed to support Butler he has the Smanhood to come out and say so as is evident from the manner he talked out "in meetin" some time back, yet the Headlight, in order to poison the ziinds of the people against McLau .rin, puts him in the same boat with Shell, but is shrewd enough to avoid anmaking a direct charge. If Congress man McLaurin is not true to the Reformers it should be shown, and unless the Headlight shows up the proof against McLaurin it will stand -before the people as an unscrupulous slanderer of those it cannot use. We have faith in our Congressman, and that faith came to us by his zealous efforts to relieve the people; we care not whether he is friendly with cer tain men in Washington, all that we want is faithful service. Shell may have proven untrue, and may be act ing the part of a dastardly scoundrel, but that is no reason why the Head light should associate McLaurin and Bowden with him. If McLaurin and Bowden are pretending to be with us and are really working against us it is the duty of every Reform paper to run down the proof and expose it. We believe we are as near McLaurin as any one in the State, and we do not betray confidence when we say that before us lies a written declara tion that McLaurin never expected to support any one but Tillman for the United States Senate, and that he could not be induced to support But ler. We assert most positively wvhen the Headlight insinuates that Mc Laurin is secretly supporting Butler it insinuates that which is untrue, and we believe it does so knowingly. We do not reproduce the Head light's article because bantered to do so, but we publish it to show our raders how our Congressman is be ig hounded by an enemy who is afraid that McLauin may aspire still igher. The people of the 6th dis tit like open fighting, and Mc Laurin's enemies have an opportun ity to defeat him, if they will openly, show wherein McLaurin has been un rue or is supporting Butler while The Headlight Exposes Shell. Col. John Gaston, of Aiken county, District Alliance lecturer and a gentleman who stands high in our State, tells us that he was shown, a i few days ago, by a prominent gentle man of Greenville, (whose name we can give if the statement is disputed,) a letter writtea by Congressman G. W. Shell. This letter was of a most outrageous and traitorous character, and substantiates every charge that The Headlight has made against Captain Shell and those who are his political affiliators. In that letter Shell goes on to say that General Butler will shortly make a speech in our Piedmont. section, and he wants the gentleman to whom he writes to work up as good an audience as pos eible, and see that the people turn out and give Butler a good and attentive hearing. He then went on to tell his friend that he wanted him to be on hand and feel the sentiments of the crowd. If they were for Butler, to telegraph him at once at his ex pense, the word, "Good," and he (Shell) would understand it. But if, on the other hand, Butler's speech did not seem to have much impression, and the farmers were against him, to telegraph, "Crops are bad." In this letter Shell went on to say that from what he could gather Spartanburg would go for Gary Evans for Governor, in spite of all they could do, and above all things Evans must be beaten. Shell said that if Anderson, Greenville and Spartanburg went for Gary Evans it meant his (Evans) nomination, and which would never do. Shell had also sent this gentle man a free pass to go to Washington. The party to whom this letter was addressed says he went to Washing ton on business and saw.Shell, when an earnest effort was made to get him to pledge his influence to Butler, but he refused td commit himself. He replied to Shell's letter, stating that he was a Reformer, and did not propose to sell out his principles; that he was a Tillman supporter, and againsL Butler; and further consider ed G. W. Shell a scoundrel and a traitor to attempt to injure a move ment to which he professed to be long. Now, does not this letter clinch every charge that we made against Shell. McLaurin, Bowden & Co., and don't it also show why Shell and McLaurin refused to commit them selves for Tillman when they came Spartanburg? and furthermore does it not throw a great flood of light upon that Sunday caucus, the door of which was guarded by a negro? Will our intelligent Reformers be deceived by Shell and his crowd any longer? This letter is in existence, and if Shell denies the fact, we are ready to give the name of the gentleman to whom it was written. But Shell will not deny it, and he cannot and dare not deny it. This letter exposes one of the most infamous plots ever organized in our State to defeat Gov. Tillman, while professing to be his friend. It com pletely unmasks 0. W. Shell, and he can no longer remain under the cloak of Reform. It shows up his evasiveness when asked to commit himself for Tillman upon the stump, and that he was simply playing our farmers for a set of fools. and what do our reformers think of the other men who werein that Sunday caucus? Don't you see that they must have known what Shell was working for? And dont you now see the importance of keeping that door locked and guarded while plotting' against the people and Tillman. And Shell says that Gary Evans must be beaten at all hazards. Well, the question is, will our reformers permit Shell to dictate candidates for them, after this conclusive proof of his treachery and deceit? We say, No ! And now that we have exposed this damnable conspiracy, we want to see if those so-called 'Reform news papers in McLaurin's district will have the manbood and the patriotism to expose and denounce the infamy? or do they servilely belong to J. L. McLaurin that they must condone the blackest treachery in order to bolster him up? As these papers know, Shell and McLaurin are work ing together in Washington city, and what applies to one applies to the other. But we believe that the tried and true Reformers of our Pee Dee section will refuse longer to be lead and controlled by a man so steeped in deceit and treachery, and that they will repudiate McLaurin, and send to Congress a :nan on whom they can rely, and not be found pro fessing the Reform principles at home and while in Washington consorting. and working with such a black hearted traitor and conspirator as G. W. Shell. We dare Congressman Shell to de ny writing the letter to which we re fer. He is down in black and white as plotting to encompass the defeat of Tillman for the U. S. Senate, but with the low cunning that has ever characterized the man, he is afraid to have a direct answer to his questions even flashed over the wires, but uses an evasion and a fraud. So far as Wash. Shell is concerned, if he even again comes before his deceived and betrayed constituents asking their support, he will certainly find that "Crops are bad," and it impresses us that "Curly-Haired Johnnie" is pretty badly in the grass himself, if we are not deceived as to the loyalty of the voters of his district. G. W. Shell do you deny writing that letter? You can't answer this direct charge with silence.-Pied mont Headlight. BUTCKLEN'S ARMCA SALVE.

Afterwards, if we are not mis. aken, the State was convinced that the t ferald was right. When President Cleve and began to show that the policy of the astern bankers was his policy, when he f ised extraordinary efforts to have the Sher- e nan law unconditionally repealed, being I nore careful to exclnde conditions than to iecure repeal, the Herald refused to follow he President's lead and the State again ook us to task. t When we find cur Columbia contempo- * .ary at list coming to the conclusion a leached several months ago by the Herald is to the President's policy, we feel a cer ain amount of satisfaction in the perform- I Lace. But we unhesitatingly agree with t ;ho State in the conclusion that notlaing 9 :an possibly be gained by having the Dam >crats abandon their party and organiza ;ion because the national administration ias abandoned its platform. The prinei. ples of the Democratic party are all right. 'hey are as sound to-day as they were one iundred years ago, and will survive be ;rayal at Washington and treachery in outh Carolina. But it must be admitted that nati nal 5 politics in the South is in the wildest con !usion. Who will be the leader and what he organizition by which order cin be Irawn from the present chaos, we cannot ray, but it will come. The only thing for I he real Democrats to do at present is to .sit * iteady in the boaL It is folly to think of bandoning the valient old craft that has . eathered so mary storms, simply because :he "man at the wheel" has chosen to face a he wind and stop progress rather than a nake a judicious tack. It would be equally ( lisastrous to place a new man at the wheel who would allow the boat to drift about with every varying eurrent. C We have one element in the Democratic C party who advise leaving that party in the x State, because the leaders seen to be lean ng too much towards the Alliance. . On tbe other hand there are those who advise urrender tA the Ocala party because the Leaders at Washington refuse to carry out j he Democratic platform. Under such con litions it is of the highest importance that Democrats sit steady in the boat. If anything is certain, it is thit the peo ple of this country are not ready to sur render to the Eastern bankers, who have F power to create a panic at will, to squeeze the people by contracting and expanding he currency as their interests dictate.1 rhere will be a change, and while the de- C ertion of the Democracy by the leaders nay delay reforms, it can never prevent hem.-Spartanburg Herald. The following, which appeared in Boston aily papers of April 10th, was sent in April to every member of congress, and is I now sent to the editors of about ten thous md American newspapers and magazines i who receive "Our Dumb Animals" each month: ro the members of the Honorable Senate and House of Represeutatives of the United States of America: Coiay's ARMY. I have read with interest in our daily I papers of the progress of this army and of g the various bodies of men who propose to join it, either at or before its arrival at Washington, also the opinions of General cCooc of our United States army, and various others upon the subject. This army may not reach Washington with a sufficient force to endanger congress or the United States treasury, and these opinions of General McCook and others may be wrong. But there is no doubt that 1 there is in this country at the present time a very large number of laboring men, will ing to work, who cannot find employment, and another class whio are anxious to stir1 up these men to anarchy and the destruct ion of property and life. On the other hand there can be no ques tion that half a million of laboring men could be usefully employed to-day by .our National and State governmrents on i u'>lic improvements of great. va'ue. 100,000 men could be put at work on a) ship canal fronm the Mississippi river to Chicago-another 100,000 on a ship canal from Laike Michigan, opposite Chicago, to Detroit-another 100,000 on enlarging the] Erie to a ship canal frorn Buffalo to Albany, 1 (possibly by the use of electricity, or other wise, these canals might be kept open a large part of the winter)-another 100,000 on a ship canal across upper Florida from the Gulf of Mexico to the St. John's river another large force in strengthening the levees of the lowerllMississippi and other Southern rivers-another in draining and irrigatE.g vast tracts of waste lands, and so preparing them for settlement-another in constructing fortifizations and breakwaters 1 for the protection of our harbors-another in constructing and improving National and State roads, and other in lighting the Russian thisde, and in various ways too nu merous to mention. If I mistake not, a very considerable body ofmen might be profitably employed in Washington itself, securing better sew erage, the filling of the Potomac fists, building proper bridges across the river, and killing out the causes of malaria. Now, I am not a congressmen, never held a political office in my life, and never want to; but I have in common with others an interest in the welfare of our country and in promoting peace and good-will between all classes of its citizens, and with that view would inquire whether it is not eu tirely witnin the power of congress to ani thorize the immediate enlistment of one, two, three or more hundred thousand men as an "Industrial Corps'' of our regular army, to be employed only in useful indus tries, but to be subject to as strict military disciple, court martial trials, etc , as the reglar army;-this "'Industrial Corps" to be placed under the control of offic,-rs desig nated by congress or the President. 'The enlistment to be for one, two or more years, and the men put at work as soon as 'possi ble in some of the ways above specified. State governments may fol'ow the example of the United States, and every unemployed man in the country, willing to work, have plenty to do. 1f the question be asked, "Can we afford to give all th'ese unemployed men employ ment?" I answer, "Uan .we afford not to?" Suppose, if absolutely necessary, we post pone for a year or two the building of any more $1,000,000 war sbips and $80,000 can nons, every discharge of one of which costs from $300 to $.&00. Suppose during the naext year or two we watch the costly experiments of European goernments, which are much more likely to try to keep their own restless citizens gaiet by setting them at fighting each other than to meddle with us if we properly be- I have ourselves. If we should go to war to-day could we not arm, equip and support 500,000 men in the field as easily as we did 30 years ago? And would not the wheels of industry move as they did then? And is it not a thousand times better and vastly cheaper to put 500,000 men to work on great internal improvements of public value than to have a war, or have them stand idle? Presden oftheGEO. T.
