LACHENS, S.e., Keb. 1,1888. DOWN ANO OC'?'. Mr. li. U. Tillman bas written a. letter, which, bul for ?is length, would certainly bc published in this paper, li is in thc main a re hash of former articles, spiced with such new denunciatory gall as tho author could lind. 'Hm great load er proposes to withdraw from com mand, but promise- to aid the forces in the rank while marching "ii to ?.Philippi." Asa citizen, we give Mr. 'i'iil mau praise, but not as loader of any great reform movement, As to many suggestions we think he hos been right, notably when ho says! "I desire to suv thal weean novor hopo for reform or a proper renn rd bo in jr paid I to om wlshos so long ns i\ . send polit leal harlots and Dow-dyo-do stnibsmcn lol moko our laws." Ir. this bo expresse:! Ute truth forcibly, und il was ono of tho grounds upon which many based objection to bis movement, that un worthy men would espouse tho Causo from policy, who were untit led for ofileo. Mr. Tillman doubtless sees now that abuse of persons and classes, und revengo for :i snub nt Ben nottsN ille, do not constitute) good grounds For a farmers' movement-, tho result of which would bo a $200,000 ttxpcrimontal College. Ile has acknowledged that he ha \ been thwarted ut eve: ;.- turn, but in tliis, his narrow view excludes every hypothesis e.vcopt (hat such a course was antagonistic to tho farmers, Ho will not "joe that thc people, through their representa tives, thought best not to indulge in the costly experiment of n sepa rate college, u new constitution, and oilier measure - which ho liked. But wo are glad thal < uptnin Tillman has seen ai last Iiis unlit ness tobe a loader of Ibo farmers, natl bus chosen to "retire to tho shades of private lite." As an agi tator he was i\ groat success, but not a statesman. Wen- proofs of this wanting heretofore,,we lind it in his latest letter, when ho says: "Our beloved constitution * - will yet be Ibo death of I homoerotic unity and white supremacy In South Carolina." Not even Till man's "valedictory," which ho styles "message from tho grave," can convince tho people of this State that our "imbecility shall cause us to relapse under negro control." That Mr. Tillman hits been thc moans of doing good, no one Will deny; and thai ho lias dom; more harm by st irr! tig up strife-poison ing tho miuds of classes against their fellows-than any man in this J?late since '7'">, ls our ililli belief. His object was revolutionary, bul it missed lire; and now, hy hiving aside onvy, strife und malice, what ever is best for tho good farmers of the Stale cm ard will bo done. Let tho farmers choose sound men to load, them j men who will repre sent diem and nil others faithfully, fearlessly, intelligently. A COTTON CACTO RY.

Shall we h.ive n cotton fac tory or not ? Thal ls tho question, and certainly upon lh^ answer bangs tho (ate Of Laurens. Our renders will remember tho strong and sensible let tor of?Col. ll. P. Hammett to the business men of this pince, which wo published last slimmer. Were his words wild sp?culative*dreams of nu enthusi ast, or woro* they from a practical millman who know whereof ho spoke? Lot the Stockholder's of Piedmont nnswor, At Hie Inst mooting of the Direc tors of the Piedmont mills it was decided to erect ii ne w factory rm the Anderson .side, Which, when completed, will make tho Company worth one million dollars, with a CAplt?l stock ol only six hundred thousand. The new mill will Lo of fourteen thousand spindles and four hundred looms, und built with thc surplus flint bus accumulated under the administration of Col. Hammett. When wo remember the handsome dividends, ranging as high us 18 and 20 per cent., then to have this immense factory Iron) tho surplus show the money the factory bus made. Moreover, a great part of the year this factory is run exclusively by steam, w hich also proves that Col. Hammett is justified in saying that want of wa titfr ? ; ol an obstacle. r~T~' ?AOclouMjthat a cotton factory pays? Then take not only Piedmont, hut OVOl'y cotton factory tn South Carolina, and SOO for your self. ; Just now, moro that! over before in tho history of our government, tho money of tho North is socking invest monts boro. Capitalists ure realizing that tho South-tho col ton field-is Ibo place to manufac turo cotton. Shall we of Laurens .allow thom to como nod enrich our neighbors and develop every town around while we ure loo indolent loo cari, less to invite thom to Join us nlsoV No man of experience will invest i ti n town when tho citi zens of that town show by their conduct thal tho money is not wanted, nod that they uro afraid to invest themselves*. What we need isa start.

Politicians ns well us Republics ne ungrateful. If evidence of this wore needed, it is shown by tile contemptible course of the Repub lieinns in both Houses ot tho pres ent Congress In their cowardly und t ronchoYous trontmout of two of tho most conservative and fair-minded men in public lifo-.J ustiee Lamar and Speaker Carlisle. If possible} Mr. Carlisle bus been treated more basely Ullin Mr Lui.mr by Hie bil l?melos? demagogues who hold sway in the councils ol tho domorall/.ed Republican party. While they privately admitted the justice of the Speaker's claim to his seat, in public they used nil their ofl'orts to prevent consid?rai iou of thu ease, even resorting" to filibus tering, Which lins never been (lone before, except when it was appar ent that the minority was being' de prived of its just rights by tyrani cal majority, in this instance, no such provocation was available. The Republicans uro fail ly char geable with uselessly wasting two days ?d' the valuable lime of Con gress, though candor compels the admission that tho thirty-five Dem ocratic absentees wero nol entirely blameless. Ila?! they hoon in their seats, the Republicans could not have, prevented n quorum by de clining to vote. Alt bongil tho valid I ty of Mr. Car lisle's claim is nt lad established, the friends of Mr. Thoebo declare that tho ond is not yet: that tho matter must bo reconsidered hy? Co n g ross, uni thal thc people will be appealed to for tho vindication of their man. In the Ways and Means Commit tee the turill' question bas not yet been openly discussed, oxcopt very briefly, when Mr .McKinley, of Ohio, proposed til present bis bili, repealing the tobacco tax. i Io was summarily suppressed on tho pion that specific tur I fT legislation was not In order until ?1 bill of n gener al character could be framed. I'Yom Ibo outset it was plain that there could bo 110 harmony Of views be tween the Democrats and the He publican members of this commit tee} therefore thc majority have wisely concluded.toforinulatc ubill of their own before submitting it to the consideration ol tho minor ity, who Will also present u bill. Kach evening members of tho ma jority, are holding secret confer ence ami the work is making sub stantial progress--rou I ly it ls much further advanced than usual this early in the session, The main object ls to largely re duce thc revenue,and the next end in view is to bring thc matter homo to tho people by including in tho list ns many articles nod commo dities (d' commun consumption us possible. All interests-manufact uring as well tis commercial and agricultural, will he conserved, and :t liberal compromise measure is ns inlicit need In-expected under pres ent circumstances. Tho Illnir Educational bill which is some of tho unfinished business on tho Sonnie calendar,' has receiv ed a blow from mi unexpected qua rter. It ta from an authority car rying much weight ?iud of special significance, inasmuch ns it pro ceeds from one who, until recently, was on tho United States Supreme Deneb. Tho allusion is to ICx-Jus tice Strong, whocxprcssos tho opin ion that the bill in question is un constitutional. lie olso stated it ns bis belief that the present mout hers of that Court bold tho same view. No one lias so good un op portunity ns J inigo Strong ol'be ing in their confldoncc. Senator Crockroll's report of thc condition and methods of conduct ing business in tho Executive De partments of Washington is about ready for submission to tho Senate. It i-- the result of un investigation conducted by himself und colleag ues of tlie special committee last summer. It is reported that sovo ral bureaux will bo unsparingly criticised, and many important changes recommended, lt is said tho report in reference to the Land Ofllce will likely causo n sensation. The new cabinet 'offleord* have not yet made .my changes, but around both Departments it is whispered that Mr. Vilas und .Mr. Dickinson Will soon begin to make tholr authority foll lu n way deci dedly unpleasant to many Repub licans wiro have been spared too long. liva, r>.
