"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.
