Mr* Johnson's History.
The candidates for Solicitor of
the 4th Circuit wero present at the
county campaign meeting hero last
Thursday, 18th. The candidates

audience of about 150 entertained
till the 1 o'clock train came, bearing
the Hou. J* M. Johnson. Ex Judge
C. P. Townsend had been in town
since the day before.
Mr Johnson has beon trying to
locate the Judge's appointments for
a day or too. At Gallivants Ferry
on the Tuesday before he found the
genttlernan from Bonnetsvillo would
speak in Conway on Thursday, Ac?
cordingly Mr. Johnson came.
Many inquiries were made as to
who could have been the five or six

to, who wrote from this county asking
the Judge to come out for the
office of (Solicitor. But diligent
hunting has failed to unearth a single
one. Suspicion has lighted on
one or too not very prominent Till
mauitcs, but they did not confess.
The speeches of both genttlemen
werepraised, end both, of course,
beingmuch more than ordinary
speakers,well merited it.
Mr. Johnson having no idea of]tho
Judge's lino of-defence, made his
indictment for adjustability cautiously,
yet clearly and forcibly.
Tho cx Judge claimed to be "as
good a Democrat as he is;" to have
voted tho Democratic ticket or what
he conceived to be the Democratic
ticket over since 187G; to bea Till
man man, standing squarely upon
tho Ocala platform, and not to have
been elected Judge in 72 and 7G;
or recommended in 89 by Judge
Simerton and Sonator Wade Hampton
for tho positon of District Attorney
of this State as a Republican.
HON. J. AC ON HO K .IOIIN* SON,
of Marion opened the debate, introduced
by precinct chairman, Jos,
Todd.
For the first time in tho history of
the State, he began, the candidates
for Solicitor, are requirod to appear
before the people and be voted for
in the primary. This is eminently
fair and just.
The State ^executive Committee
had arranged for the candidates for
this office to meet the appointments
of tho State canvassers. lie said
he was here and at all the other
State meetings in the District and
his frien:ls were congratulating him
on having a walk over. He was also
at many of the Congressional appointments
and fitill seemed to be
having a walk-over. But at this
/^\te day, his apponent appears and ho
must go over the District again, and
will yet have a walk over.
He was surprised to find the ex.Tllilnm'tt
duv.l mil q>ii>nv!anil (n una

in it "I agree to abide the Democratic
primaryand the Democratic not

a Juihje. ? a judcho aspiring to be
Solicitor. This seems to be a retrogration.
Townsend and MoLaurin is a law
Arm in Bennettsvillo, S. O. McLaurin
is now running for Congress
and Townsend for Solicitor and another
lawyer there. Hudson is
adge of the 4th Circuit. Does
Bonncttsville want every thing?
Let them como one ut a time not
three at a time to seek the suffrages
of the Peo Deo country.
The Judgo's card surprised him
mostly because it came so late. It's
out now and Mr. .Johnson intends to
stay with the Judge till Aug, 29 at
sunset. The Judge may not be
averse to discussion; but there ought
y to bo a rule, said Mr. Johnson, comI:
pelling candidates to declare them
pdves such in time to canvass the
liJld thoroughly.
The Judge said in his card he
cante out because of solicitations
from the counties. Who in Horry
County asked him to come out? Did
the Alliance Convention at Florence
asked ex-Judge Townsend to come
out? Why not? It honored his
Tillman partner,
r The office of Solicitor is not political,
but it is being drawn into poli.
tios. When the ox-Judge comes as
a Tillmanitc expecting the support
\
CON^
of his faction?lie comes on his politics
and our record must be com
pared
When a country gets ft political
Solicitor and political judges she is
in a bud lix. There wus a time in
the history of this State when judges
luont nlonfrwl Imnnnan tliov tnaua 1?n_
publicans. What a stato of affairs
there was in South Carolina then!
Kopuhlicanistn! Give mo u country
that "blocks of five'' can't rule.
It was assumed that the .Judge
was running against him on account
of his political record; and factions
would divide upon the too candidates.
The Judge seems to bo a coat
tail swinger,
Two years ago there was an tin
fortunate state of affairs in South
Carolina. The Democratic party
was divided. One sido in convention
adopted a platfoifh?a Third
Party platform and succeeded in
capturing the party machinery and
electing a Stato ticket.
Both sides made mistakes two
years ago and are making them to
day. Mr. Johnson said he was a
Democrat and he was proud of it.
There was a report that two yearr
ago lie voted for a negro. This charge
was started far in the hack woods
and could not be traced to its
source. *'1 voted for no negro two
years ago. The report, is false, willfully
false. 1 am a white man in
favor of white supremacy.M
The only thing that could be charged
against him was that he voted
irregularly two years ago. lie felt
that he was not bound by the caucus
nomination of March 00. His object:on
was to the caucus. Col.
Hoyt should have enlled in April
Convention and straightened matters.
Wow J. \j. M.lrbyand his com
miltee have met and put him on
equal footing with any Democrat.
Irby has given us a primary in which
all Democrats are recognized. After
that primary ho says he'll support
the straight nomination from
bottom to top.
' If my friend is nominated I'll
support him hut I'll hate to do it.
Why? I'll tell you why before I
sit down.
0. !' Townsend was elected .Judge
of the 4th Circuit in 1872: Even in
those dark days Marion had four
jjomocrais in me vjrenerai Assembly.
There was only about twcenty-two
in the whole House* Then Soath
Carolina was called the prostrate
State.
At a caucus, from which Democrats
were excluded, Townsend was
present.
Townsend: I deny it I was not
there.
Johnson: You were elected by the
negroes, scalawags, and Radicals ?in
the Legislature, You mere the caucus
nominee.
Judge Townscnd was elected for a
second term at the Legislative session
of '75-G by Republicans. lie
was displaced in 1877 by Democrats
and Judge Hudson elected in bis
stead. The Judge sought ro election,
but they couldn't stand his politics.
"I'm not charging the Judge with
Republicanism, or Radicalism, or
Third-Pnrtyism or Ilaskillisin or
Tillmanism. The matters is, he's
too adjustable. Office is a position
of honor and 1 would not, could not,

Maybe the Judge may claim to bo
a Democrat.
Tillman's waggon started from
Bonnettsvlllc in 1885. Did the
Judge get on then? No, he waited
till Tillman got it on level road
out of the jolt's and jars and mud.
Then the Judge wanted to get
aboard. Frantically lie shouted and
cryed "Mo too! nie too!"
In 1889 a tremendous Devolution
swept over this country. That
grandest man in history, tho firm,
great and broad-minded statesman,
GroVBK Ot.evrlano was made President
of the United States. Four years
later Benjamin Harrison put on his
grandfathers hat and was eleotod in
his stead?that Republican.
J udgo Townsend sought from him
tho place of the silver tongned Leroy
F. Voumans, U. S. District Attorney
for this State then.
Townsend: Did not Harrison appoint
Democrats. Is there not a
Democrat in Charleston Post Office
now?

Ed. of Houuy IIkuald:
Will you please allow ine space in
your valuable paper for a few lines
from Good Hope section.
The crop9 in this section are gonerally
good. Mr. George Hardee and
Mr. Hartford Iloitnes has the finest
cotton that I have seen.
The people seem to progress finely
in farming now if they will take
greater interest in " the1 educational
cause 1 think that they will be fairly
fixed.
The children are now having a
fine time going to the free school. "
The school opened July 11, 1892,
with 42 schollars, and now there are
85, and they keep coming in, the
most of them belong to the school.
We would be glad to see the commissioner
arom.d to see us.
The neighborhood is also blessed
with a very good Sunday School
with good workers in the cause of
Christ.
The writer thinks this to be one
oi tho best places to build up a
School of nine months he ever saw,

and surely there must ho a plenty of
children. I don't know why any
community like this should neglect
so great a duty for there is no reason
why any person should grow up in
ignorance when a good clnsical ed
ucation can bo obtained for $200,
even at the age of 2 1 years.
Now a few words to the hoys and
girls. It seems as if the most of the
boys think that if they don't get married
before they are 21 that they will
die an old bachelor and that is the
grandest trouble.
Now boys stop ami think about
the duties of life before entering
upon them.
1 have got too much work to do
or I am too old and renrlly 1 am a
shame to go and show my ignorance
any how. Now which is the host to
show your ignoranco for 2 or .'J years
or for life time. Therefore will you
for your own benefit go to school
and strive to improve your talents,
and if you cant find any satisfactory
school in your community let me
recommend Burroughs School to you
which is sufficient to give every boy

ical education (everything thorough
and instructive and I think is doing
a great deal of good to the boys of
Horry.) Will you patronize homo.
Girls, don't count the boys unless
they have quit school and you know
it. Hut will you do likewise and
dont bo afraid because you dont get
married before you are 18, for you
will be sure to get married before
you are an old maid.
Now boys and girls will you take
this advice and for your own benefit
for what is bettor than an education*
Christainity and friends.

newspaper controversy, but I wish to
show tlio public how some people,
and even some who claim to be
Christians, will resort to falsehood to
achieve their political ends. I have
been reliably informed that a report
is being circulated that I am hired to
canvass for the conservatives. Some
say that I am to get one dollar,
others say two dollars, and somo say
as high as five dollars, for each name
that I get on the clubroll. Personally,
T care nothing about the report
but I wish to lot the public know
how things are moving. The originator
of the report is guilty of malicious
lying and is not worthy to be
called a Tillmanite.
Another report in circulation is
that Burroughs and Collins relieved
me of a two hundred dollar mort
gage in 1890 for what I did in that
campaign. There is not ono jot or
tittle of truth in the report and the
father of it is an unmitigated and unscrupulous
sooundrel. If any one
doubts the truth of my denial 1
would suggest that a committee bo
appointed to examine Burroughs &
Collins' books (and I would not
object to a Tillmanite committee
provided it was composed of honest
and truthful men) and if' auy such
transaction can bo found then I will
admit that I am the sooundrel and
r Word, Your Work and Y

liar. If nocessary the book-keeper
can bo sworn, but. 1 bolievo ho is
honest ami truthful. In conclusion
I may say, hurrah, for tho conservative
ticket, and let's carry it to a
grand success in August 30th.

the mule seemed to be in greater

were, ho took to bis best at once and
ran away and threw Mr. Archie out
of the buggy and hurt him baddly,
Ilis brother being a little slow did
not get in tho buggy as soon as ho
did, so he escaped all danger. The
accident was a very dangerous scene
to witness, indeed. The fall rendered
Mr. Archie almost senseless for
fclio time, and he was dehirious more
or less for a day or two, but ho is
fast getting bank to himself again,
and we hope ho will soon be strong
and activo again, and ready for the
duties of school teaching. lie has
lost one week of school on account of

Washington Letter.
Regular Correspondent.
Washington Aug. 15,'0*2.
Politicians arc not plentiful in
Washington just at this time, but
those who are here have not lacked
for a sensation to discuss since the
announcement was made a few days
ago that .fudge Grosham intended to
take the stump for Weaver and Field.
Democrats and republicans alike refuse
to believe that the announcement
is authentic, but they agree
that it will make hard sledding for
the republicans in Indiana, if Ores
I II.. .1 II.. . r ..
iiiiiu runny uuua gu tm liic sunup i or
tho People's party, owing to tho
great personal influonco lie wields j
with a large numborof voters in that I
State, and it is stated that lie could j
control almost as many votes in Illinois
where he has made his home of
lato years. At the National Parmer's
Alliance headquarters, where People's
Party men usually may bo
found, no doubt was expressed of the
authenticity ot the announcement,
which was thero regarded as a boom
for Weaver and Kield.
Speaking of (Jrcsham, just before
I the Omaha convention mot when all
indications seemed to point to him as
the head of tho ticket to bo nominated,
there was a secret conference of
prominent republicans, presidod over
by Mr. Clarkson, then chairman of
tho National republican committee,
hold in Washington, at which it was
practically agreed that in enso Oresham
was nominated and he carried
enough .States to throw the election
into the House the republican electors
wore to make a (lank movement
to prevent the elootion of Cleveland
by the House, by casting their votes
in the electoral college for Greshani
instead of for Harrison. Think of
what a sensation would have been
caused by such a proceeding as that
in the electoral college; that is, if
the agreement could have been carried
out.
Why should the United States
Treasury pay fancy prices to express
companies for transporting large
amounts of its money from ono
point to another? is a question which
has beon often askod since it was
known that $20,000^)00 in gold was
recently taken from San Francisco
to New York by Government ofti
cials at a cost of about $2,500, while
the express company's charge for doing
tho same work was $00,000.
Surely it is cheaper for the United
States to assume the risk of loss
than to pay such enormous profits to
tho exprass companies for doing so.
Nof long ago the United States Express
company was paid .$.'1,500 for
less than throe hours time of a few
of its employes, just enough to load
boxes containing $7,000,000 in gold
on an express car at Philadelphia
and two hours later to transfer the
same from the car to the sub-treasury
at New York. Secretary Foster is understood
to bo in favor of tho Treasury
doing its own transportation
when the amounts are largo enough
to tempt the express companies tc
tnale such big charges.
From Saturday at noon, when the
the Secretary of State retnmod from
the mountain resort, where he spenl
Sunday, Washington was without ?

i of the cabinet here so late that thej

time.
State department officials seldom
givo ont news until after it has long
since ceased to be new; but I have it
on excellent authority that are a lit
tic worried by the fean that tho Gladstone
Government of Great Britain
may not be as friendly towards the
International monetary conferonce as
that of Lord Salisbury was. The
dato for the meeting of tho confer- <
cneo cannot bo fixed until tho wishes
of Mr. Gladstone aro ascertained,
and should he be disposed to bo unfriendly
towards it, ho could easily
cause it to bo indefinitely postponed (
by deferring its consideration upon
one or another plea without actually
committing himself against it. The
most that will be said about it at tho
State department is that "it is c.xpoc
tod that the now cabinet to bo formed
by Mr. Gladstone will givo its
early attontion to the matter."
It is not often that a spoeoh delivered

Washington, Aug. 10. -The
August report of tho Statistician of
the Department of Agriculture shows
a reduction in tho condition of cotton
during .Iuly, from 8<!.9. This
is tho lowest average since August,
1880, when tho general condition
was one point lower. Tho season
has been almost overy where too wot,
though in South CarolTha and Georgia
tho alternations of oxco3sive rainfall
and blistering sunshine have
boon injurious. In Texas the need
of rain is reported by some correspondents*
The natural result of these conditions
appears in tho grassy fields,
rain plant growth and small fruitago,
with considerable shedding.
Grass worms and caterpillars have
appeared in the inoro southern and
westorn districts, but no material
damage has yet resulted.

News and Courier
Ralkkjh, N. C., August 10.?The
Third Party Htato Convention was
called to order here to-day at noon
l>y the chairman of the State executive
committee, VV. It. Lindsay,
Marion Buttler, president of the
State Alliance, was called to the
chair as tcnipory chairman, and addressing
the Convention, said ho had
heretofore differed with the People's
party in many respects, but that he
proposed to go with the majority.
Butler had not heretofore committed
himso'f entirely to the Third Party.
On calling tho roll of counties it
was found that sevonty-ono of the
ninety-six counties in the Stato were
represented. The Convention adjourned
until 3 P. M. to allow committees
to confer. Prominent Ucpublicans

When the Convention roasscmblcd
tl?is afternoon it was to witness some
exciting scones. Marion Hutler was
announced as permanent chairman
and J. \V. Danmark as secretary.
The report of tho committee on platform
and resolutions was adopted*
11 endorsed the Omaha platform and
has several additional planks demanding
that the noxt Legislature
adopt G per cent as the legal rato of
interest and recommending that the
powers of tho railroad commissioners
ho increased.
When the nomination of a candidate
for Governor was reached the
name of Col. 1 Larry Skinner, of Pitt.
was pmceu ooioro me v. onvenuon.
It received a dozen seconds, and by
a wave of unanimity Skinner was
nominated by acclamation. Skinner
was called and applauded, and,
thanking the Convention, docleared
?
that if he accepted the nomination it
would be on certain conditions, one
of which was that if ho saw that the
Third Party would cause such a division
of the white people of this
State as to let tho Republicans into
power he would have to warn them
and hid them turn from the danger.
This was greeted with nnitterings
of discontent, and Skinner was again
called for, as the Convention was not
satisfied with his position.
\'\ W* Strand, the Third Party
nominee for Congress, declared that
he was authorized to speak for Skinner
and that he was unconditionally
in the hands of this Convention, hut
Skinne., was forced lo appear again
in person and did not satisfy the
