W. D. DOUGLASS, Editor. JAS. Q. DAvis, Treasurer. W. J. ELLIOTT. Business Manager. WINNSBORO, S. C. Thursda3, September 19, t :3!5 The Constitutional Convention. There will be no ButlerCounty now. It was run .red on Saturday eveji,g that there would be a mo.ion to recon sider the matter of Butle- Unty, which nane the Constitivimiial Con vention had siven to ti new county to be cat off from Edgetield, and the rumor became rea!istic on Monday. The figh- was ma!le m,inly by B. R. Tilnian, W. J. Taibert and R. B. Wa'son, fom Edgefie!d Cniitv, who were against the But!erCouity sc'ivme, and George D. Till i;an, J. L. M. Irby and Stanyarne Wilon, wh , favel ed naming the county Butler. Senator Tillwan mad.- a notio.i to change the name from Butler to Sa luda. George D. Tillma-i asked for the reason. B. it. Tillmnan stated that he was absent when th3 vote was taken and the speeches were made in support of the Batler County scheme. He had left to see a daughter who had been ill in Georgia and. wh:> had re turned home, and he wanted to see her. It was nothing but a natural paternal desire. It was best perhaps that he was not present when the speech was made, or be might not be able to discuss the matter in cold blood. He hoped he had recovered self-posses sionl and could speak calmly and dis passionately, lHe had never shirked a duty and always st.o I on principle. He rose to do justice to the living and also to the dead. The people who propose to change the county want it named Saluda; they drew the ordi nance as Salada and they still want it called Saluda. The question is neces sc.sily personal toXa large extent, be tause'the name already given (Butkr) is the name which is considered what as supplanted by mec in the Unhi ted States Senate, and some think I oppose it because of his name. It is true, but not from prejudice. Hie was no3t fighting an individual, but was simply keeping the convent ion from stultifying itself by sending the news abroad that the Rteform Constitutional Convention of South Carolina rebuked the Legislature which retired Butler from the United States Senate. It must be remzemiberd that Butler (M. C.) is the only living representa live of that famous family; all the others have passed ont of the memory of the outside world; their deeds are ancient history and it would be her aIded abroad that this convention has rev-ersed the action of the last Legis lature. In measured words he said this last representative has disgraced the name of Butler and .made it a stench in the nostrils of every white man in South Carolina. After makin'g his fight before the people an't was bseaten fairly lhe sti,l opp.o.-ed th - will ef the people.. You have been told that it were hungry ofmie-seekers who b.arked at his hees. You were toed that it was doub,tful if his cqual will ever be found in the Senate from this State. UXe- could meet this stah, comn.. iug from the source it did, (Geo. D. 'iilmnan) in silence. He did not set himself up as Butler's eqnal or supe- I rior; had never blown his own horn;. had met all opponents fa=rly and bravely in debate and the people have giveni substantial recognition and be could pass this by. As to my friend (Irby) on the right who was the subject of this same comn parison, it is his concern and not mine. Hie may acknowledge his own inferi ority to Butler i,f he choses. Per haps there are others here who will agree with. him. By his vote (in favor of Butler County) he pats in a plea of guilty and admits the justice of the tan-nt. He would pass to another phase of the subject, would do justice to the deed. It was asserted that Mart Gary died under a cloud of preindice. I say it is not true. Hle died under a cloud of slander and lies heaped on him by men who defeated him by un fair .nuethods, taking snap judgment and nominating Hiagood. I can dis pryve the assertion as a personal wit ness. I met a friend of Butler's in Augusta who lit it out to me that this was a plan to defeat Gary (for Governor), and Gary was Seing char.ed with in dependetismn. IndtifiedGarv~ an;d told him to put the l'e on any inrdepenIdent ismi on his pirt. iIe sh:n ed mae his speech to be published on the mt- er. ion which might have giveu his ene nies a chance to bring unjust charg es igainst him. He pledged himself to 5:and by the choice of the people of ou State. When his enemies got his speech and know of the pledge they tricked him and nominated Ilagood, and we all had to submit. Here Geo. ). Tillman asked him if he ever heard of the letter Mart Gary sent Col. Cash. Senator TiUm in replied, "Yes, and that letter contained reference .o But ler's cow,-rdly and ungratefut attack on Col. Ca6h about a duel with Shan non, but no reference to indep.ndent ism ani was not published until after Gary's death " At a mass meceing called to raise a monument to Gary, it was Butler and his friends who prevented action being taken. They pursued the dead hero to his grave and prevented efiort to honor his memory. This and false charges of independentism prevented raising the monument. He had a right to run as an independent after beiDg swindled by Hampton, Butler and lagood. After Butler was defeated last year We are told that he organized the Pope movement and tried to put independent legilative tickets out, even trying to u-e the negro. Does this convention want to stran ge me by naming the new county But:er? I know Butler did his full duty in '76; but Gary was the peerless leader who Eaved the State frum thra' doin. In 1876, John Chainberliin was to sp)ek, the red thirt proc(s-ion was forming and Gary was c>unty chair m1anA anp in clarge f the best organi zLion kLow.1, but 3u-ler took it upon Idine!f to ride at the head of the column and pick out the line of march. Ile held a conference with a white scalawa. marshal for the negroes and agreed that the procession of red sh.r:s sh uld take a cr:ain route up to within one Lundred yards of Chamber ait's stand. This radical marthal t.et Gary at the head of a mile of men and -wanted him to observe Butler's agreement. In loud tones the Bald Eagle replied, "This is public prep erty, get out of my way, you damed white puppy, I will ride where I please," and rode on. Senator Till wan recited another instance whien Mart Gary filled the square at Edge field Court [louse and defied Gen. Ruger, of the United States army, on election day refusing to give up the vantage ground. Butler <tid his duty at Hamburg, bt you remember the stab he tried to give me last summer about this matter with reference to the Hamburg riot. Ie has been repaid for his services to tie State, and if he had one scintilla of patriotism he would have died be fore he would act as he did in 1894. We are asked to name this county after this traitor. Will you disgrace yourselves by naming this county after Butler? IRBY G ETS HOT IN TUE COLLAE. ~Senator Irby .egretted the necessity ofreplying. Had Senator Tillmian not seen fit to criticise his silence on Saturday lie would say nothing. It is very nice on Ben Tillmnan's part, after arraying Reformers and Con servatives against each other in this convention to talk about peace and quiet as he usually does. I did not join the politicians in this State in crying for peace, all that was mere rre ext for office. We are here reprc sentinig the people and should have peace and harmony. Ie dares to criticise me because I voted as I pleased. I paid no special compl: ment to M. C. Butler by my vote and I throw it back in his teeth that nothing M. C. Buticer may do wvi.1 ever disgrace the name of Butler ic So,uth Carolina. (Loud applause.) It will live (the name Butler) wheni )on are dead and forgot.en (pointing to Tillmnan). I do not hamipioni 13utler, but fought him earnestly and was instrumnental in his defest, but whe Gen. Bu'lcr went down lie was guilty of indiscretion, he~ w .s ignmiiniousl,' deieaaed by yun, o y..a shonhi have been in:gnzanimnotus eough not t' follow himt on the this souvetionI. We are not here to :bampion anybody andt so help me God [ wil vote for no lawv that is not for the good of both factions. I reminded Senator Tillman of that and hope he may not forget it-the people never will-that M1. C. Butler is as good as Joe Barnivell. You say, sir, that utler disgraced himself. Where does Barn well stand? The first man to oppose the people and had courage enough to run on the Haskell ticket. Has he disgraced the Barnwell name? ie may disgrace himself, but never the Barnwell name. But Barnwell is not such an objectionable name, good enough for Senator Tillman to enter into a written contract with, which would defeat the will of the people. He signed this with Barnell and it comes with bad grace from him to say that a man who Totes for Butler County has disgraced himself. I have always voted and acted as I pleased. I have done as much for him person ally and politically as any man in South Carolina. Yet he dares after gog home to Ineet his daughter, to reprimand me. I thought he went to see a sick daughter. Why did he not stay here and answer that speech on Saturday? IIere Geo. Tilirman stated his former remarks as to comparison of senators. Irby replied that lie understood it as rep'(d. We all strud on our nmersts and it is for the people of South Carolinia to say who s great ai Who is not amongst her :itizens. I sincerely regret th, it the treat leader (tD. R.

Before they are aware of. it they become nervous, sleepless, exhausted and irritable. They are tired, a -anguid, nerveless and physically are going down hill at s, rapid rate. Dr. Miles' Nervine Restores,-brings back health.-cUnEs,-just such people. The Re':. I. V. McCarty, pastor of the First United Brethren church of Wabash, Ind., writes Nov. 19, 1894: "IC was very healthy until seven years ago, thought I could stand anything; but, from overwork and exposure, I was stricken down with brain fever and narrowly escaped death. Since that time I have suffered more than ever. "tbegan with neuralgia and a continuous, terrible pain in the left side; at times I was dizzy and had the severest of headaches. My digestion was very baa and I had a great deal of stomach trouble, and suffered untold agony: I was constipated nearly all of the time. I was thin in fiesh and so much re duced in nerve force that I had little life and no ambition. "Six weeks ago I began taking Dr. Miles' remedies and have taken nearly two bottles of the Restorative Nervinc and three boxes of the Nerve and Liver Pills. The result is truly marvelous. I feel liko a boy again. I have gained eighteen pounds and have more strength and nierve force than I have - had at any time in the past seven years. -"Last evening at the close of service, I publicly stated to the large audi ence the facts of the marvelous benefits that I. had received from your remc dies, how they had given me strength and hope and vitality to better go on with the work of the Master. May the Dear Master abundantly bless you. January 30, 1895, he again writes: "Prior to last October, when I began the use of your valuable, remedies, I was almost an entire mental and physical wreck, but now, thanks to Dr. Miles for his Restorative Nervine and Nerve and Liver Pills, I am a healthy and exceedingly happy man. Before I began the use of your medicines I very seriously contemplated resigning my position as pastor of the First U. B. church of this city, but now with restored health I can remain, to the great ic~y of my people. "After two months revival work, two services each day, I am still strong and well. May the dear Master of life abundantly bless you." r. Miles NeineRestores RIDE Helt Ask any STE ARNS rider what be thinks of his I YELLOW FELLOW. STEARNS idersi are satisfied riders.
