('.ip:, li. H.TILLMAN i- reported to huvo said i" recent speech, that ''it was no honor to be among tho coterie of debased und corrupt men who have governed us duce '7?;" \ou. we al) admit thal lhere aro some things in connection with . mr state government that eau bo improved. Some measures could lu- pushed l?y our Legislature with benelit to tin state, ?nit Mr. TILL MAN will find it uphill business to make tho good people of South Carolina, the red-shirt democra cy ot" the Stat >, believe that in the famous struggle ofthat memorable year, 1880, that tho domo eratic vo ters made a mistake, and elected "debased and corrupt" mon. Yet, this ls the term lo- used. Ile suv- "coterie of debased and cor rupt men who have governed tu* since '7i?." HAMPTON, SIMPSON, JETER, ITAOOOD und THOMPPON have occupied the gubernatorial chair since the democratic party has been in power. These gentle men, whoso record-; in private or public life will compare favorably, not only with Mr. TILLMAN", but any man living, aro now called "debased and corrupt." Do the farmers of South Carolina endorse this accusation. Mr. TILLMAN say- his one object is to benefit farmers. He is a "wool hut" and a "one-gallus" man. His movement is md political. The Abbeville Press and Banner reports him as ming these strong words: "Cod forbid that I should be so low and debased as ta meet and commingle willi that low crowd at Columbia, unless 1 go there as a man. intending to do my duty." "Low crowd al Columbia." Now who compose that crowd, willi whom be i> too pure to commingle '.' Taking this utterance in connec tion with the former speech, and the conclusion is forced upon us 'that Mr. TILLMAN alludes to tho government officials. So much for what be says. Now let us look at iii.- actions, We sec him ?a Columbia, at the head of the ridgefield delegation, working in the interest of a particular can didate. What man should be so fortunate as to receive Mr TILL MAN'S endorsement, ls a matter of intense int?r? t. After the w hole sale abuse which he has seen tit to bestow upon lawyers, and after de nouncing generally tho conduct of State officiais and the present ad administration, he advocates the candidacy of Him. JOHN C. SHEP PARD. Mr. SHEPPARD IS a law yer, not only -o. but a politician al so. He has for ten years past, as legislator, lieutenant-governor and governor, "commingled" with this "low crowd." and yet ?a prefer ence to ( cd. RICHARDSON, who has spent the best portion of his life in the pursuit of agriculture, Mr. TILLMAN endorses SHEPPARD. We have no disposition to re joice in the defeat of anyone, but it ls well for South Carolina that the high and honorable office of Governor, ls still above traffic, and cannot bc reached by combinations. "The College and Tree Tuition.*' EDITORS HERALD:-The AD VERTISER in its last ls lue says: "Some warm friends of tho College, (The South < landina ( !ollcge) ure be ing led to advocate ( barging a tui tion fee, because of the denomina tional colleges. When young men aro forced to pay tuition, the appro priation must stop and tho stand ard of this grand old college will necessarily be lowered." Will tho editor of tho ADVER TISER kindly inform the public why "the appropriation must stop" incase a tuition fee i?> charged? Also, why it necessarily follows thal t!ie standard of the College M ill be lowered ?-Inquirer, in Lau* rensville Herald. We take pleasure in complying with the above requ. st. The main argument used by those who ure opposed to thc South Caro lina College, has been that it Is "the rieh man's school." They have found, however, that tho peo ple ave not to be deceived; they know that when they have noth ing to pay but board, (ami board cnn be had in Columbia as cheap AS elsewhere), tin! South (ia foll na University ls the place f.>r poor yoting men. Solids argument has thus far failed lo stop the appro priation. Men have looked at this matter from n business standpoint, and bu ve decided thai they arr' willing to give one cent Upon every hundred dollars worth of (lo ir property, in order that young nun might linvo free tuition. Now tho question itr?KOs, if the boy*/ lind to pay 40, BO, or CO dollars per annum, ; would the people still bo willing to give a stati> appropriation? Wc think not. They would say, I aro not willing ti) be taxed for this Behool, il' my boy must pay for tho | privilege of attending. [lenee the appropriation would censo, and it would be expected that tho insti tution would bo sustained hy tho' tuition of patrons. This would make the very existence or the school precarious. Even tho sola? rios of thc professors would depend upon contingencies. Mon who' bave by merit attained distillvtiou as professors, would scarcely come from institutions whore a fixed salary is guaranteed, to aecept such a precarious situation. It would ht? Impossible to give a guarantee, ns the number of stu dents would depend upon the ti liaiicial condition of the country, crops, Jfcc. lionet1, we think the standard of thc college would bc . lowered, and its usefulness greatly impaired. M i. H. M. SM ITU, of Spartanburg, says it is a mistake about bim steal- , lng $1000 ami a Jug of whiskey from the State, while be was a radical. Before tho campaign ip over, probably it would be well to make ! arrangements for supplying this ? town with gas. Brother JONES, of the Spartan burg Herald, is happy. Ile is in another controversy.
