SIt was a happy thought that struck some one in Columbia last week ~ hen they suggested Colonel Miles B. Mesweeney,of Hampton,for Lieu te'nant Governor. A better selec Stion could not be made throughout the entire State. Col McSweeney is a representative of progressive ideas, Nand be has considerable legislative Sexperience. As a member of the Shouse he took a prominent stand and Theld it throughout, meriting the E>respect and confidence with all whom The came in contact. He is a natural Sparlimentarian and quick to grasp an & idea, and there is no man in the '.State who would be more fair and Simpartial. The Times takes great ~pleasure in asking that Colonel Mc Sweeney allow his name presented a a carndidate for Lieutenant Gover nor. The great convention so long the subject of many surmises and predic Stions has come and gone and still the Sworld moves along. There was noth ~ing to si .~y disintgeration of .the or m cause, but there was great ?'evidence of a growth of that cause. The fmnancial issue in national affairs has given a great many of the con servative people of the Conservative faction an opportunity to link 'their political fortunes with ours, and to Sday miore true conservatives are al lied with the Reformers than QReformers have gone out -afflicted with sore-head from Sbeing defeated for office. The con :vention was harmonious, not even the -dying throes of Senator Irby caused a ripple of excitement. He said his speech, and it was applauded by a few Columbians-nlot delegates, but when Tillman arose there was an out burst which put the Irby applause in the shade. Irby showed up badly and is taking the defeat which awaits him and which is self-invited very -hard; at the same time a great many feel sorry for the man for it can not be denied that Irby made a good leader and nobly led the Democratic party to victory. In last week's issue of the Marion Star there appears an editorial which purports to be a defense of the Al liance when it is really a stab at Con gressman McLaurin. We read "Sen eca's" letter which the Star takes umbrage at, and for the life of us we can not see where "Seneca" made an attack upon the Alliance. He -made an attack upon what he says is an attempt to use the Alliance in promoting the political interests of individuals against a man who was put forward by the Alliance and who stood nmanfully by its principles. Suppose Seneca did attack the Alli ance, is that good reason for the Star to attack McLaurin? What has Mc Laurin got to do with the views of any man who rushes into print to air his view? Seneca may be one of Mc Laurin's enemies for ought we know, and wrote the article for the purpose of bringing out an attack from the Star. There is one thing certain that McLaurin is worrying himself not half as much as others are about his Con gressional race, and if the people of Marion do not appreciate his services it is the only county in the district that does not. The resolutions adopted by the Marion county Alliance did create a little suspicion, but wye have been assured the resolutions were not intended as construed by McLaurin's friends; that being the case we can go into the coming fight side by side with Marion and help crown W. H. Enlerbe mwt gubernatorial honors. The State Convention paid Clar endon a most graceful compliment by selecting one of her citizens a dele gate at large to the National Conven tion. The delegates at large are Senator B. R. Tillman, Gov. J. Gary Evans, General W. H. Ellerbe and Capt. D. J. Bradham. The people of Clarendon will no doubt appreciate the compliment. A delegate at large is an honor worthy of being sought after and in most cases it is the prize which ambitious men strive to secure; but in this instance the members of the convention wanted the very best and strongest material from the silver ranks to bear the siver standard from South Carolina. Capt. Bradham is proud of the great honor conferred upon him and his people are also proud to know that one whom they have trusted and honored, is honored and trusted by the people of the State. The Marion Star concludes an edi torial as follows: "The people remember the "Dear Appelt" letter, and when the time comes for them to vote he will find out whether it is a matter of "per sonal spite" or not." Yes, they remember the letter re ferred to and, they know that when said letter was written there was great provocation for it, and they further remember the manly spirit shown in that letter, when others were cringing with fear to express their views on the mode of enforcing the dispensary law McLaurin came out like a man ..nd dared to differ with Governor Tillman and others. His manliness has won for him Tillman's high re gard and when Tillman was attacked in Washington McLaurin's voice was the first and only one heard in his defense. If we remember right, Mc Laurin was not the only one who differed with Tillman on the mode of enforcing the dispensary law, and a perusal of some of the speeches in the last campaign will show the Star the wis dom of sweeping before its own door first, if it considers it an offense to differ with Tillman on anything. McLaurin may have made some mis takes in some of his letters. Ie may have been indiscreet or impolitic, but what he said he believed at the time and he had the manhood to express himself just as Ellerbe had the man hood to disclaim responsibility in cer tain matters connected with the dis pensary. But McLaurin is not run ning for a State office nor is his letter an issue in this campaign, the ques tion is, has McLaurin been faithful to the trust reposed in him and has he done his duty. If he has done what the people expected of him, are they willing to cast him aside for a man untried and with no experience when one of great experience is needed so much at this time. We do not believe the people of Marion or the sixth district want to swap horses in the middle of the stream. SANDY GROVE SIFTINGS. Sandy Grove. May 22.-"Good news! Good rains! Good morning! Have any tobacco plants ? Whbere can I find some ?" This is the usual greeting in Sandy Grove just now. One night some weeks ago some one robbed Mr. R. E. Smiley's plant bed. Several are through transplanting; others are not. You may bet there have been millions of plants set with in the last three days in this section. Other crops are very well consid ering the long dry spell. Look out for General Green, now boys; he is coming in full force. The fish will get a rest since the rains. We learn that William Cade, the murderer of Sanders, near Cade's Depot some time ago, was sentenced for life. We also learned that Mr. Rob ert Cade, father of the murderer, dropped dead of heart disease at the front of the court house steps last Tuesday, the morning on which his son's trial began. Rev. C. I. Bradsbhaw's little infant child died this week of that prevalent disease, dysentery. Well, when we get our crop raised and harvested, our tobacco marketed, and Tillman elected President, won't we be happy though. Set TmLFixa. RESPOND TO THIS CALL. Citizens of Manning: What are you going to do about the cemetery ? It is sad to think about the condition of our cemetery, all grown up in weeds and briars, and many of the graves entirely ob litrated. To say the least of it it is a shame that such a state of affairs should exist in our town. There arc some lots that are well kept, and to those owning them I extend a hearty commendation, but the greater part of the cemetery is in a most deplora ble condition and should be attended to at once. City Fathers, arouse yourselves and let us have a cemetery kept in such condition as will do credit to our town. Let us elect a Cemetery Board and make such laws as will further the interest of all concerned. We need more land, for I frequent ly have applications for lots and there is none to selL If we could minage to buy a piece of land on the south side of our present grounds and sell off the lots, then apply the money to the cemetery, it would not be long before we would have a place in which to bury our dead that would be a credit to our town and community instead of a reproch as it now is. I did not intend to say as much as I have said but having made several attempts to get a meeting of the citi zens and failed. I take this method of presenting this matter before the public with the hope of getting it at tended to at once. My business calls me to the ceme ter more than any one man in town, anl I am ready and willing to ren der any assistance to put the same in proper shape and keep it so. Trusting that the above will not be read by men with ears (lull of hear ing and hearts dull of feeling, I am yours for the good of the town and ommunity. W. C.

Joel *Chandler Harris, the Cracker Humorist, Writes of Tillman Heard Him Speak in Atlanta and Was Delighted-Analyses the Unique Character of the Youu; South Carolina Senator. What is the truth about Tillba.? I have asked myself the question iun, dreds of times, and I presume that a great many other people who care more for ideas and principles than they do for politicians hive asked themselves the same question. Why. Because, on the one hand, we have heard a lot of newspaper editors, correspondents and reporters de nouncing the South Carolinian as a Populist and an anarchist, and des cribing him as a blackguard and a buffoon; wbile, on the other hand, we have seen the Democratic voters of South Carolina standing almost as a unit in his support. Naturally, therefore, the question arose in my mind, what is the truth about Tillman? If he is not what various newspapers describe him to be, what profit do they find in a monstrous perversion of the truth? But if the newspapers are correct, what is the secret of the man's hold on the people of South Carolina. Here was a mystery, indeed. I re membered a fact that a great mian;y people seem to hive forgotten-that, from the foundation of the repuie down to the present hour, there has never arisen a genuine Democrat-a man of the people-of any degree of prominence who has been denounced by the so-called "conservatives" as a communist and an anarchist. In his day and time, Jeffersonwas an "anar chist" and a "communist," and his doctrines were denounced as danger ous." Andrew Jackson was "a dirt y blackguard." Toombs was an "anar chist." Stephens was a "demagogue." And even poor Mr. Tilden was said to be in favor of "promoting danger ous doctrines." I remembered these thiugs but they failed to solve the Tiliman mvtery, for the very newspapers that de nounced him as a "blackguard anti a "buffoon" were loud in their pre tentions.of Democracy. Then came Tillman's promotion to the United States Senate, and, at the first op portunity, he made a speech before that body. Practically, the speech was suppressed by many of the news papers both North and South, East and West. But the Washington cor respondents described it as "unparlia mentary,",-coarse" and "undignified." I made haste to get hold of a copy of the speech, and read it through in the Record from beginning to end. To my utter bewilderment I found not a paragraph, nor a sentence, nor phrase, nor a word, nor a allusion to public matters that the condition of affairs did not call for and the occasion d mand. I found marks of indignation in it, but from the first word to the last the sentiments expressed on pub lic matters were those of-a Democra?. Hundred of speeches !oller of in vective and more "unragnidied" have been delivered in bothi houses of Congress. But this only deepened the mystery. Perhaps Tillnmau had delivxered a "coarse"~ speech and af terwards revised for publication. Con sequently, when Mr. Tillmnan was an nounced to make a speech in the tabernacle, I resolved to make one of the audience and see and hear for myself. What I saw was a trim, vigorous man, full of energy and lire, standing before a vast assemblage of men ap parently as much in earnest as he was. Behind him on the platform there was the flutter of fans in feminine hands. Before him streched a sea of faces, many of them, perhaps the ma jority, belonging to middle-aged men. In the seats to the right of the plat form were gathered an audience ot younger men-as if though the co hesion of youth had brought them to gether. A more thoughtful audience I have never seen. What I heard was a speech as purely and as truly dewocr-atic as has ever been delivered in Atlanta, or anywhere else, for that matter. "He carries his Jefferson with him," said a man at my side, and this was the fact. Tillman went to the fountain-head of Democracy for his doctr-ine. He quoted from Jefferson's first inaugu ral. He quoted from Jackson's mes sage vetoing the renewval of the United States bank charter. In no part of his speech did he depart in the slightest particular from Demo cratic principles as Democrats uneri statnd them. He spoke bluntly when dealing with the conditions we see around us--when dealing with the results of what he pithily called "Re pu blican legislation and 'Democrati: administration." But the truth is' ever blut. It sometimes hurts, andi ought to hurt. When you begin to soften the natural asper-ity of truth, you must, in the nature of things, adulterate its essence. Bunt a politi cal truth is never unpalatable to those who are pledged to the people's in terests. I listened in vain to hear some hint of the "-coarseness" and "vulgarity" which the newspapers led me to ex pect. I listened in vain to bear some intimation of "buffoonerv~." But these were entirely lacking. What I did hear was an earnest and patriotic ap peal to Democratie voters to arouse themselves to the crisis that now en dangers the country. In a cer-tatn picturesque employment of homely metaphors he reminded me of Joe Brown, who was a South Car-olinian. In his iluency and vigor of expression he reminded me of Colonel Tomn Howard, who was the greatest of our Georgia orators. In force and fire and directness, he reminded mec of Toombs. In gesture and courage he was not unlike Henry Grady. And although these reminiscent comparisons were thrust upon my mind, they took nothing from tihe vital and giaring individuality of Tiliman himself. As the speec-h progressed, it w easy to see that Tilhan was disap pointed. There were moments when1 he would pause after making an ar gument or asking a question, and I soon discoveredl the cause. He lad come to Atlanta expecting to be "pu to the question," as it were-to be laid out on the rack of interruptin and inquiry. Hie had expected to nd at least one half of his audhieuc~e composed if gold-standard mien. A ne point he pausd and turnedi to the crowd on the platform behind him, saying: "I know there must be some gold bug among yc u. Where are they? 1 s:- long lists of names in a news P'aler hecre.". Thcre was a wild shout of derisiou at thi-, and 'T'illmnaun threw up his hands une )k despair, but his face wetre S .ieeC'n an eXpre;si.1u of disap p;;i.oi: as I have ever seen on a speai:er's :ace. 1) to that moment his aitu.l. 1:l been one of eager expectation. He had come expect ing to lace a crowd of guldbugs, and had rcpared himself for the occa Siu. He was anxious for the frav. lie would pai.se in the midst of a sentence and listen to what some one in the audience was sayin, and if any'rem;r'k was ddressed to him, his auswer came quick as a flash. Once when he was complaining of Democratic teal-administration, a Populist standing near asked: . "Wv didn't 'ou follow us out?" "Wi:ere have you got to that I should have followed you?" cried Tillmati, so promptly and vigorously that the man dodged involuntarily. This gave the eakcr a cue, and his iebake to m:en who have left the Dewoci ic p:rty was both eloquent and truthful. It was blunt and yet kindly. "1ou could have had every thing you wanted 'xcept the sub treasuy and govri ne'rt ownership of railroads," he s:i , "aud these are nt Deuocatic." ie then weut on to show now the subtreasurv plan is simply the national bank scheme ap plied to farm products, "and two wrougs don't make a right," he de clared. His exposition of the rail way ownership scheme was felicitous. "Before you can own the railroads," he said, "you ve' got to make them quit owning you. They've got you neariv swallowed now, and they'll have to ui.swniiow you before you can swallow them." Then, more seriously, he went on to show that governmeut ownership of railroads meii not only a vast in crease in the army of super-servitable lederal oiiicil :' but an increase of the public d- bt to the extent of at least ,OUOiU6000,00, Concluding this branch of his subject, he urged the Populists of ri to return to the Democratic part" and join hands with t hose in that pary who are true to Demncratic principles; and he warned them against the men who are leading theim away from the par.' ty in the hope of getting some small oike o .' "f thei. This portion of his speech was earnest, vigorous and masterly, and the populist who had called it forth had nothing more to say. But it was plain to see that what Tillwan needed, in order to display the full power of I his remarkable gifts, was contradic tion, opposition, the antagonism that finds vent in questions inviting re nort'te, or leading to suggestions. An old gentleman sitting just below Tillmau, asked: "Why not legislate value into wheat as well as into silver?' lie received his ainswecr before he could sit down again. "Be cause it was le-gislated out of silver ! Because silver has been lawv ful money ever since the days of Abraham. Isaae and Jacob-!" - Once, vihen some one made a re mark or asked a question, the crowvd grew impatient and hooted him down'. B~ut Till:un wouldn't have it so. "Let ime alou!" lie etied to the aiudienice. "I caui take care of my self. That's what I'm here for." When the audience quieted down he paused and waited for the man to renew his inquiry or remark. But the inquirer remained silent. Again, when two or three persons wvalked out, Tillmnan said he would detain the audience no longer, as lie sawv tacy were getting tired. But the cries of "No, no ! Go on!" were so unanimous and vehement that he wenton ithhis speeCch. N ow, 1 have in moure interest in Tiilbmm e cepmt as so far as he is a Democrat, thait I haive in the man in the m1')nl. We nieed just such a man at this nmonient ini the State of Georgiau. We need leaders who are not afraid to stand up for the people anywhere and in any' crowd, and at any time of day or night. Instead of that, we have too many who are ready to turn when they hear' a bush shake, and who are so uncertain as to their own views that they don't know where they stand. "Boys," says Friday, "let's be conservative," and the word is passed from this Fridi r t. that um:it Democratic p'rinciples arc drowned out in a tidal wave of "couse'rvatism."

DAVIS. KINGSTREE ITEMS. Kingstree, May 25th--The May term of the court of general sessions for this county convened here on Monday, the 18th inst., at 9:30 o'clock a. in., Judge Aldrich presidiag. Solicitor John S. Wilson and Stbn ographer Mixson were at their pcsts of duty, and the jurors responded promptly to their names. The :$o licitor gave out only one indictment to the grand jury upon which they made out a true bill. The case was docketed and tried and the defend ant acquitted. This was the case of the State vs. Kelly Powell, charged with an aggravated assault and bat tery. The next case tried was that of of the State vs. Ephriamn Johnson, in ited for larceny. The defendant was found guilty (and fined $30,00, but as he had no money and no im prisonment was provided by the Statutes he wvent "scot~t free." The trial of WV. R. Cade, a you:;g white man charged with the murder of W. L. Sanders on the 9th of last January, occupied the court all day Tuesday and a part of the day Wednesday. Solicitor Wilson con ducted the prosecution and Messrs. Kelley & McConnell the defense. Both sides were ably handled. The trial excited great interest and the court room was pretty well crow ded while it was going on. The ar gument was concluded Wednesday about noon and the jur.y retired for their finding. They we ce out about 30 minutes when they returned with a verdict of guilty with a recom mendation to the mercy of the court. Cade was sentenced to the peniten tiary for the period of his natural life at hard labor. So far as we have heard an expression of opinion the verdict has met the approbation of all. Mr. C. W. Cade, the father of W. I. Cade, dropped dead on the court house square Tuesday morning. He had just arrived in town to atterda the trial of his son. He was abtut 65 years of age. The candidates for the T arious county onfices are coming to th 3 front and are urging their elaims on the "dear people." A good many have announced themselves in the papers since our last letter to the Times, and there are "more to come." So far we have only one candidate for the legis lature. Editor Carter, of the Lake Ciy Times, is being run for the lower house. Mr. Carter is a suitable man and we would like to s'ee him elected. There are several candidates for the office of sherilff and clerk of court, all of whom are good men and we think either of them would m:ake a competent and efficier.t officer We are glad that alcLauriin has consented to stand for re-elec:ion to Congress froom the 6th. district.
