AUGUST 20, 1002. | i Wonder if a pence jubilee could < be pulled oil' tit (Su'Tliey willmtlt ( n scrap. I - ! , "Col. .Tim Tillman is a pretty i shrewd campaigner, (hie day Inst week he worked the d >d^e on lii^ < opponents by jumping severtil low t country mcetitmK and tpiing 1<> j i Spartanburg, where, it i-; Haiti, he , . did some earnest .work ainon^ tin- t cotton mill people of that county. \ Col. Tillman, according to reports, 'I assorted that his sister was ill and I he could not continue with the 1 campaign party. Some news s papers say the statement was untrue and charge Tillinan with lyintj. Whether his sister was really siek and whether the illness was so serious as to necessitate his 1 visit, can best bo proven by tin f lady in question. !? > that as it f may, it is an incident that shows r up more forcibly the superiority a of Col. dim, as a vote maker, over <' his opponents. t Candidates Hemphill and hali n inor en^apred in a little ti-ticutf at t (itilTney Thursday, in which ti n : v lutter landed a stilT jab on the t (Jhoster man's htind. The scrap \ was brought about by Latimer'* using language about Hemphill's t motive in a trivial ntTuir which ! v the latter considered otTensiv?'. f After the meeting Hemphill told i Latimer the statement was uii- a called for and untrue, whereupon n the tight began. Hemphill made n several attempt* to strike Latimer t but was unable to do so on ac- ?! count of friends rushing between the two men. The Times shall ?: not attempt to shift the blame up- j on oither of the gentlemen, as it t is what we consider an occurrence i which will result only in the t weakening of tho weakest. i Who Can Vole? ) There i* considerable interest as 1 v to who is entitled to vote in the ' primaries. Below is a synopsis of j v mo qiMiiiientums ot tin* voter as | ^ proscribed 1 ?y tlio law of t ho I Join - ^ oorutic party. All Democratic white voters who have been residents of the State ( twelve months and of the county | sixty days preceding tho next gen ( oral election, and ?ill negroes who ^ voted for General Hampton in 187(? and have voted the Denio 1 emtio ticket continuously since.: are entitled <0 vote in the Democratic primary elections. Kach 1 voter must take the following oath I and pledge, viz: "I do solemnly 1 ( swear that I am duly qualified to 1 * vote at this election according to the rules of the Democratic party. 13 and that I have not voted before ? at this election, and pledge myself s to support the nominees of this sprimary." ;c No person shall ho allowed to ! a vote unless his name has heen on- ' rolled on the particular club list at ' which he offers to vote at least live 1 days before tho primary election, v the elub list inspected and ccrtilied t to by tin* president ami set-rotary j " nnd turned over to managers to be used as t-hu regi-try lists. o liegistration tickets are not re- i t quired in primary elect ions. Two boxes shall be used, one for United Slates s-nator and State officers, and the other for congress j men and county officers. ^ The names of all eondslates will , j be printed on the tickets and voters ^ must scratch out the names of j j those for whom they do not wish to j ; vote. No other tickets will be al , ; lowed. Partly written and partly printed tickets cannot be used. No vote for house of represetdn ^ fives shall be counted unless it ^ contains as many names as the ^ county is entitled to representatives. York county is entitled to four representatives and each voter , must vote for four or his vote for that particular office will not bo counted. The polls will open at -S o clock \ ' in the morning and close at 1 ^ o'clock in the afternoon. All protests and contests for t ^ county offices must be filed with the comity chairman within live j days after the election. ? -? ?? ? M r. \V. K. Sledge; a former res- I ideut of Fort Mill but now of I Cheater, spent several dnys of the * past week with relatives and ] friends in thin towoahip. ;, Dodging the Pistol Law. 11 was hardly to be expected that pistol dealers would comply ( fully with tin"1 law. becauRf no law is e ver completely observed, llouee there is no surprise that schemes | ate devised to avoid it. In Charleston; "and perhaps in other parts of the Siato, ingenious merchants have hit upon a clever method of getting around the le w pish I law. It is stiictly against the recent act to manufacture or sell ft rear ins that are less than twenty inches lonir and which weigh anything less than three pounds, but no provision was made for the renting or leasing of the weapon. Several hardware dealt rs , in tlit) upper part of tin* State are loing a lively business disposing >f shooting irons for a period on Leu years, which, of course, iniounts to *!io same tiling as sell. niC tliom outright. In order to ell'oct a tranfiftetioi. >f this kind lej^al eontractB are 1 rawn up and pr< perly signed, ae online to the laws of the State. V pistol worth ten dollars under he old law will now rent for ten ears for about the same sum. | I'heie is sort of a silent agreement let ween the dealer and the eusloner that the ti n year lease about etths the transaction. What Will 0? the Tela! Vole? The Columbia correspondent of lie News and Courioi oives the ollowim* valuable election tables' I'ani which speculative p >1.1 irians nay make their own calculations is to the size of the vote at the oniinp' primary: Tlit re are si>:!v < ndidales in lie !; !?! for State, (Am^ivssionul in! Senatorial voles, und this null iplieity of candidates, together villi the local candidates, oiij^ht | o, iitid no doiilit will, hriii^ (lie ote lip to hij?h water mark. The United Stales census shows hat in I HOI) there were 1 'J'.I.Mo.'l vliite persons of voting aire, there ore that is the maximum vote, ncludin^ the few negroes who are | '.lowed to vote as the diilVroiiees .re more than made up by the ab j once of voters from the State, not ' o count the sick and lame and lisqnalitied. or open Republicans It is pretty safe 1o figure that if ver 1 tH),000 votes uro east in tliei n iinary next week there is some- J liiiit^ wroiitf. tuitl that the smtdeii ncrease in the vote needs explana ion. The largest vote over cast i n the State on a primary was two ' rears ajjo in the junbernatiomd ace, where there were live candilat.es and the total vote was 02,4MO. vmie p.-ople seetn to think and ire writing that the largest vote | vub in the Tillman-Sheppard conest in 1802. This is a mistake, as here were only 88,102 votes east | n that, primary, and in the laf-t I nininry there were 88,775 votes j i.'ifit, and the opinion has always >ocn that this was a eloaner count ; han in the Tillman Sheppard ' ontost. Latimer's Scat: Products. Speaking ot" tin- products from ho government seeds distributed )y Congressman Latimer in his ! hstriet, tho Spartanburg Herald ins this to Kay: The corn is of the nubbin varity, of the kind that shoots and nisses tho stalk; the squash is as mall as a 4r;vn eyed squash could ;row. The beet will 'squash" the mtire indictment if it develops, nd the beau could scarcely be nude out as that particular kind >f vegetable. owing t?? its ditninuive size. The entire lay out eould perhaps make a feast fur he blunted Lilipuliau bondholder,! lid if I i ulliver ever trn\ els in that unntry again, he must take plenty if seed of jnsi such products along 0 win out ihe kingdom. Little Hope For Wilcox. Condemned to die for the tinnier of Nellie Cropsio, at Klizabeth V.ty, N. C., handsome dim Wilcox s said to be giving away under he terrible suspense while his life s in the hands of the supreme >urt. He lets henrd. it is stated, hat he will not he given a new tial. but that even if he shonld ;et one and be neipiitted, he would > lynched, and the strain his old on his mind. There are p ?rotis who claim tlmt he is feigning nsnnity in an cfFoit to escape the ;nlh?ws. It is stab d that the man, who is 1 cigarette tiend, has been acting trangely for some time and that ocently having sent the jailer for i match, lie became exasperated at he delay in his return and threw i knife at him, almost severing hreo lingers. Wilcox has many friends who jelieve him guiltless, and who nsit him frequently at the jail. YOU SIIOTTI.T) TRY OA lit ITHKKS' DANDRUFF CURK.
