The gold-bugs had made preparations in dvance for Tillman and as soon as is name was mentioned, and before e had opened his mouth the gallaries packed with their hirelings began issing, which they kept up until he fiished his speech; at one time when the hissers found they could not rown his voice an employed band camne to their rescue, but Benjamin made his speech just the same, and as the correspondents for the gold standard papers admit, it was a spe.ch which 'will furnish thought for every orator that takes the stump in behalf of the Democratic party. Tillman told truths that will prevail, even if they do leave an unpleasant sensation in the mouths of some peo ple. He insisted that the silver ques tion was a sectional issue and he is right; not in the sense tilat the gold ites pretend to construne the assertion, but in the sense that the. aouth and West have joined hand to battle for a common cause, and to fight against the enslavement of the producers by the manipulations of the money hangers of the Northi and East. It is sectional and it is the fight of a class who are daily being made poor er by a class backed by the govern ment that are growving richer. It is class who are strugglingr for an equal show with those who are now privileged. They may prate as much as they please about Tillnman being impolitic in alluding to the sections. What he said was the truth and with that honesty which has made him aous, he had the manhood to dare assert it. The people have become -accustomed to newspaper condemna tion of Tillman and had they been influenced by the press, and instead of his being a leader of leaders and of the people, he would have long ago been relegated to oblivion. He is at the front to-day and the more the *newspapers cuss aud decry him, the more does he become endeared to the masses. The people of the South and West have been watching Till man and they know that the press is against him. There are but fewv dailies in the Union but what are con trolled by the gold element and of ourse they are strong advocates of the gold standar d. In South Caro jina the Columbia State is a strong ive paper and has done a <great deal or faithful work for the cause, but its hatred for Tillman personally will not let it give Tillman credit for his just dues. The Columbia State, while a strong lover of the silver cause, is equally as strong a hater of DBenr Tillman, therefore the PeOple of this State can not, nor do tbey look for any praise for their leader from that quarter. The News and Courier is a pro nounced gold standard advocate and from its editorials we believe it vill not support the nominees of the Democratic party. It is the mouth piece of bankers and factors and of course the people do not expect a paper of that stripe io praise a man who is tig ing for the destruction of the means which has been used to make these bankers and factors rich and their unfortunat. patrons poor. In 1890 Ben I illman not only had the political leaders to combat, but he had nearly every newspaper in the State against him; they first tried to ridicule him, then they at tempted to ignore him, but the further he went the stronger became the movement which he led and then when all other tactics failed, misrepresentation, villification, slan der and abuse was resorted to; but all in vain, Tillman was destined to make the movement of the people the greatest the world ever saw, and in spite of all obstacles he goes right along fighting for the rights of the people. Has the agitation done any good in South Carolina? The question is answered in the affirmative by taking up the weekly newspapers and read the long lists of candidates announce ments. It brought people to the front, who in the days of the old order of things,would not have dared to go forward. It made it possible for a John L. McLaurin to. go to Congress and with his burning elo quence attract the attention of the nation to South Carolina, that they might be convinced of falsity of the charges of ignorance made by the newspapers opposed to the Tillman movement. If the agitation inaug rated by Tillman in South Carolina has been unproductive of good, why is it that a similar attempt has been made in nearly every State in the Union? His leadership certainly was not aided by the newspaper praise of him; if he was aided at all, was by thiir unbridled and intolerant abuse of a :an who did not quail or cringe be fore their powerful influence. Watch the prediction! Ben Tillman will be in greater demna'nd all oler the Union than; anyv other one moan, to speak in aid of the Democratic ticket. His counsel will be sought after and his advice heeded. If Ben Tillman was a Westerner, no power on earth could have prevenited his nonlination and election, but being a South Caro linian' it was impossible at this time to make him the standard-bearer and he said as much in his .great speech in our State convention. If, however, the silver cause is successful Ben Tilman, the Great Commoner, will be high up in the temple and the day will not be far distant when a Southern man can get a presidential nomination and be elected. THE TRUMPET HAS SOUNDED The Democratic convention is now a thing of the past. It was no doubt the greatest convention in the his tory of the party. V ital issues cause; great differences of opinion between the party's leaders. Time will alone say which side is right. The gold men contend that the succ,:ss of silver means disaster, and the silver forces contend that a gold standard or the present system continued1, means the enslavement of the masses and the enrichment of those already rolling in wealth. The convention of the party has spoken, and put forth its standard bearers, they are William J. Bryan, of Nebraska, for President and Arthur Sewell, of Maine, for Vice-Presi dent. Bryan made a speech in the convention which electrified the thousands assembled in that audience and it resulted in his nomination He is no stranger, and it is not the first time "the young orator of the Platte" made himself famous. WVhile a member of Congress he took parr in the tariff and financial debates and when he came in contact with Reed and other leaders of the Republican party' be proved himself a tower of uellectual strength. He made a peech on finance and in a fewv min utes after it was delivered the print ing preses were at work to supply he popular demand and the speech went over the entire length and breadth. of the land; the newspapers in A merica and Europe discussed it as they never discussed a speech be fore, and to-day he is quoted by nearly every writer on finance. Bryan is only 36 years of age but lie is a giant in brain. The nominee for Vice-President, Arthur Sewell, of Maine, is one of the largest ship owners in the United States. His vessels enter every port on the globe. He is president of a national bank and a leader in busi ness circles in the Eastern States. Mr. Sewell, although a millionaire, a banker and a man whose avocatio clshmin contact with all the foreign powers, vet he is a strong1 advocate for the free- and unlimited coinage of silver at a ratio of 1G to 1, and his nomination will, it is believed leaders in the silver cause and make thousands of business men refuse to be driven from the Democratic fold by the gold-bug element whose in terests are identical with the enemies of the inasses and who prosper and fatten by the down-fall and ruin of the people. Brvan and Sewell shall be the bat tle cry until the election in November and as far as South Carolina is con cet!:ed they will get her vote by a large majority. STRUCK THE SHACKLES OF IN DUSTRIAL SLAVERY. Everything that is said against Tillman by the gold-standard news papers is taken up by our State press and heralded as "glad tidings of great joy," and to give them the sem blaice of fairness, occasionally one of them will slip in something that sounds a little favorable. We have gone carefully over the extracts from the Northern t.nd Western newspa pers publilhed by the News and Courier and State, and we find that they have studiously avoided pub lishing any extracts from newspapers advocating the silver [cause; which proves conclusively to our mind that they are endeavoring to kick up a political.dust to blind the people. Out of the number of extracts they publish, the only one that sounds like the writer was trying to tell the truth is from the pen of Henry George, in the New York Journal, and is as fol lows: It was worth coming so far to see and hear the great debate which has brought to the final issue the most momentous action that a political party in our generation has given. Tillman began it. Strong and rugged, careless of the niceties and courte sies of expression, yet with a rude genius that goes to its mark like the blows of a 4ledge-hataner. he voiced the wrong of the producers and the determination of the men who had gathered under the standard of free silver to ring in this Convention the death knell of industrial slavery as in the Democratic Convention of 1860 the death knell of chattel slavery had been sounded. He met the charge that this was a sec tional movement by admitting it, asserting. however, that its sectionalism was not geo graphical, but the conflict between twb sec tions of the people-the toiling masses and those who grew rich on their sweat. Dis daining coudemnation of sin without rAf erance to the sinner, he denounced Cleve land by nauie and offered a resolution that he proposed '.> %dd to the majority report to give form to his denunciation. Politicians may take advantage of an expression to twist it into a shape to suit their purposes, but the truth ill prevail in the end, and the man who gave utterance to it will be the greater in the eyes of the people. There, was not a delegate within the sound of Tillman's voice that did not understand his reference to "a sec tional issue" to mean a conflict of in terests between the toiling masses and the few wealthy classes. They knew he did not nean to stir up the old sectional issue which was settled and sealed with the blood of brave men on both sides, but his voice went through that immense hal pleading for the emancipation of toil ing millions. DON'T SPEAK UNTIL SPOKEN TO, OLD SIS! The News and Courier editorially said in its issue last Monday, "We could not advise anyone to vote for McKinley, because of his platform and the party which he represents we cannot urge Democrats to vote for Bryan when we urged them to vote against Weaver." Just what the News and Courier would advise is a question that the people all over the State are standing on. tip-toe to ask to be sure; and of course they will not act in the prem ises until the old lady of Broad Street issues forth her dictum. The News and Courier is a powerful vote maker in its editorial room, but out side of that sanctum its plant for manufactu ring votes is not sufficient, and the machinery is eaten up with rust. Any little weekly in South Carolina has a greater political in fluence than the News and Courier, and while the paper is meritoriously popular as a newspaper, it is the news service and not the political editorial utterances that makes it so. It is therefore useless for the editor of that paper to advise anything on the political situation. The people outside of the News and Courier building and the offices of the factors and bankers which are interested in her financial management will get along very easily without any advice from that quarter. We base our judgment from the gr'eat influence(?) that paper has wielded in the past six years. Outside of Charleston we venture it cannot control a single township in the State on a political issue, and in Charleston it dares not oppose the wisbes of the politicians in control. A newspaper thus politically situ ated should not attempt to give ad vice on political matters, but if we may be pardoned for the suggestion, it should devote its entire life to ad vising the people how to "cook pork and beans and molasses together." Williamsburg county is to be con gratulated, for the wonderful im provement made in her county unews paper. In perusing its columns last week we actually saw something in them: it was a criticism of a figure of speech employed by us in an edi to-ial. That is right brother, y on watch these editors who have some thing in their papers for their patrons to read, and after a long and constant study of them, you will be able to "a" in a mass of matter and from it fish out an article giving the news of a very sad happening which occured in Kingstree court weekand when you have publislied this news the people of Williamsburg will be amazed at the wonderful thrift and enterprise you have exhibited; then you will not have time to waste your enterprise(?)in criticizing an un fortunate brother who !has a news paper fit for editors of other news papers to examine so closely as did the editorial critic of the Williams burg Becord. A great stress is being laid -pon the opposition of nearly all the great daily newspapers, to the platform and the nominees of the Democratic .,arty. Let them oppose, did not these same newspapers fight every inch of ground before the convention, in their local primaries and in their conventions? Did not they use every effort in their power to stop the silver wave? What did it amount to, other than to make the movement stronger and stronger, and to run old "star eyed goddess" Watterson,of the Louis ville Courier Journal crazy. When Watterson saw the silver moon, and he realized its immensity, his mind became unhinged; he imagined that his party was going to bell, and what silver there was in it would be melted; his party did not gc to hell, however, but instead, it took an excursiou up Lake Michigan and on its embark ment set up a silver altar where the millions of voters will place their offerings next November. All over the Western States enthu siastic demonstrations are being held in honor of Bryan and Sewell the Democratic standard-bearers. At nearly all of these demonstrations we note the conspicuous presence of promirent Republicans on the ar rangement committees. In the West, Bryan will receive the vote of all parties and he will sweep that country from one end to the other. The Re publicans will surely strike a blizzard out there and if Indiana and Illinois stands true to the Democracy, New York, New Jersey and Maryland can go fishing on election day if they wont to. The people of South Carolina, without regard to factional adher ance, are in favor of silver by a vote of 90 to 1. In other words, for ev ery white voter in favor of a gold standard, there are ninety white voters in favor of Silver. How strange it is, that whenever any question arises affecting the Re form leaders of this State, Colonel John C. Haskell, always bobs up and pours out his vitriol. On our first page we have the bril jant oration delivered by Hon. John L. McLaurin in Sumter last week. Our distinguished Congressman did not lose himseli in a maze of beau tiful sentences but, in a strong elo quent address, reviewded the history of the Citadel warming the hearts of ts admirers as he pointed out the splendid work accomplished and showed the relevancy of the militia mda republican form of govern ent. From a review of the past de directed the attention of his hear rs to the future ar4d in an earnest ippeal begged that all citizens turn )ut on election days,and "use the bal ot box as a high and sacred- trust." lhe address was that of a patriot and statesmnan andl with more auch men o lead them South Carolinians would throw aside their petty spites and passions and 'neath the ihade of the 'Old Palmetto Tree" would gather >nce again as friends and brothers. -1immonsville Enterprise. SUMTER MEETING. The campaign was resumed at Sumter last Monday and it was eatureless, with the exception of Jdge Earle's appearence. His Honor was received with a little applause md considerable indifference. Gov arnor Evans did not get back from Dicago in time for the meeting. Duncan said nothing as usual; this was a disappointment, because it was known that he spent some of last week at Laurens, the home of Sena tor Irby, and everybody expected him to draw his little squirt-gun and Let fly some of that Laurens blue mud, but he didn't. It may be that he is waiting to shoot the Governor be tween the eyes when that gentleman reaches the stump. Harrison made his speech, but Ellerbe was en route from Chicago with the Governor, Senator Tillman and Sheriff D. J. Bradham, and of course, was not there, but when Har rison finished,the crowd cheered for Ellerbe. Generals Richbourg and Watts gave the crowd their song and dance, Richburg wanted the people to vote for him, because he did not drink nor gamble. Watts wanted their votes as an endorsement of his official record. If General Richbourg thinks he is making votes by charging Watts with getting drunk at Cleveland's inuagura tion he is simply off his base, and when Richbourgsays that he knows Watts was draikbecause he permited him to use his'rosin he shows him self up very badly before the people. If Watts did get drunk at that jollifi cation four years ago, what has that to do with his official duties the past two years. Watts may have been drunk one day four years ago, but that is not half ?o grave a political sin as Richbourg committed when he permitted his name to be used on the Haskell ticket as a candidate for the same office he now se- ks..

MANUFACTURED ONLY BY J. H. ZEILIN A CO.. Philadelphia, Pa. A REBUKE TO SLANDERERS. Davis, July 10.-As there has not appeared anything in your columns from this section lately, I thought I would pen a line or two. Politics is the most favored topic of conversa tion and while it is, if a fellow does not wont to vote for another, he in variably finds some fault. Although it may not be true, as an illustration I heard one man Saturday the 4th of this month say,that one of the presen t candidates for office told him last fall that there was something rotton in the court house and when he got in there it was his intention to un earth it, we would say to such an one, they had better clear their own skirts before they insinuate wrong doing to others. Such campaign thunder wont work. Again another man said he had heard that one of the present representatives stayed at home one week and went in Santee Swamp fishing during the last ses sion of the legislature; which is an absolute lie, and in this last case we could verify the assertion if necessary by facts. Now Mr. editor we think that candidates should refrain from insinuations and say no more than they can prove, and they will come a great deal nearer making votes for themselves than they will to insinuate wrong to others when they have nothing at all, not even the semblance of truth in their insinuations. The people are fast becoming disgusted with the lies going about and they are also finding out the tricks of some of the candidates. From what we can learn, men who are not can didates are employed to go about to poison the minds of the people against a certain candidate, but chickens will come home to roost and before the primary election comes off these lies will rebound and crush out1 those who expect to be benefited by them. Other people can do as they please, but the people in this neighborhood have got the thing down so fine that when they hear a man reflecting upon a candidate they at once put him down asia hired pimp, hired to do this candidate's dirty work. The ball of slander and misrepresentation is rolling in various sections, but it will soon strike a stump and then, it will burst all to pieces and woe will be the crash to the hopes of certain men who are now feeling sure of election. Clarendon county is a peculiar place, its people like and ad mire a man who makes his race upon is own merit and his claims upon the people; they have no use for a an who seeks to build himself up on the ruin of others and especially when those they seek to ruin have been tried and have never been: found to falter. B. NEW ZION NEWS. New Zion, July 6.-We have fine esons and very good corn crops. 1 otton has got a move on her for the 1 past ten days. Tobacco is looking ine. Hope to make a full crop. I see Manning has put her shoul :er to the wheel of enterprise and some of the business men have put their hands in their pockets and are going to have a warehouse of their own. There is some one who de serves credit for that. If she gets the buyers I believe Manning will buy her share of the golden weed this year. I have taken a close inspection of 1 Messrs. Thomas & Bradham's tobac-1 o last week. They have fifteen acres just as good average as there can be found in Salem. If properly ured it will sell for one hundred and fifty dollars per acre. Mr. Harry Dickson, of Bishopville, is spending some time with Rev. W. A. Wright. Rev. WV. A. Wright and Rev. Mr.1 Porter, of Lynchburg, conducted a revival meeting at Pine Grove church, which lasted two weeks. It was a revival meeting, indeed. It was thei good, old-time religion at that place to all that would accept Christ. One will commence at New Zion church, July 6. We hope to have a good meeting here. I would like to say just here, that we will not invite can didtes to attend this meeting to elecioneer, bnt we invite all who will come for the good of their souls. Mr. Editor, I see a communication of the 24t~h from Johnnie Brown, where he said the frost would kill the grass in J. E. Green's field. We can account for what he said. You know when a man is going to take wife he is liable to say most anything, and from what I can learn Johnnie is go ing to take a wife and I believe what frets poor Johnnie is that he is not making enough to support the fair one. I am satisfied that Johnnie Brown has not been in J. E. Green's field since the grass came to see him. The order of the day in Salem is in1 the tobacco farms.4 Mr. Leighton DuBose is very ill. We hope to see him up again soon. A women Candidates' Cards. FOR COUNTY SUPERVISOR.
