LAI KI NS, S. C, Sept. 11, 11)01. Ton Years of Tlllmaiiism. Tub Laurens Advertiser says: "Tlllman i> right now, conscrvalive, strong, and wo aro free to say, Is the master spirit who has brought the State back to where it normally should be, where it has stood for half a cen tury before Tillman, and stood nobly and honorably." if our contemporary is serious in this statement It is conspicuously un familiar with the position occupied by South Carolina "for half a century bo fore Tillman." To say that Tillman '?has brought the State back to where It normally should be," is a matter for the exercise of individual taste, but to say that he has brought the Stato back, politically, morally or materially to "where it bad stood nobly and honora bly for fifty years" exhibits a pitiful ignorance of the history of South Car olina and hor noble traditions. Till man's accession to political power in this Stato was essentially revolutionary. Hohns been from fust to last an icono clast ol the most, radical type. With nought but the gift of gab and the sal tish instincts of tho demagogue ho came to tho surface in 1HU0 solely by dragging down Into the mire tho idols and honorable traditions of tho people which had lived for generations before his political existence was possible. There was no name too sacred, no in '.oitution too honored to escapo his vi tuporatlon so long as he conceived It neoessary to bis advancement over their blackened ruins Was it bringing the Stato back to "where It had stood for half a century la-fore Tillman, and stood nobly and honorably," to defame tho fair names of Hampton, Wallace, Frasor, Hudson, llaskell, Kershaw, McGowun, clarom, et venerable no men, and the host of other true and tried heroes of Carolina who had olTor ed their lives, and fortunes upon the touted field for tho liberty of their people in time of war and had been again in tho van of that great Strug gle for political freedom in 187(i? Was It bringing the State back to the noblo and honorable position occupied by her pcoplo for a half century, to Invade the judicial sanctuary of South Carolina und stab justice in hor own temple? Was It bringing the State back to where it normally should be, to climb rough shod over her educational Institutions and by stirring up tho prejudices of the masses against the classes seok to poso as the patron of the poor? Was It the work of a great benefac tor and savior of tho people to crush "with a mailed bund" the prosperous phosphate industry reducing tho State's revenue from nearly a half million dol lars yearly to a mere bagatelle? Was it the work of a great moral leader to blot out the business Of the State's Chief City and upon tho ruins build up a gigantic whiskey trust the very lifo of which has beon sustained by the blood of tho people and the sacrifice Of tho State's fair name? Was it upon such a rum -cask pedestal that South Carolina "stood for half a century be foro Tillman, and stood nobly and hon orably?" Was it a return to the "noble and honorable place whore South Carolina lias stood for a half century," for this "master spirit" to degrade such namos as McDuffy. Hayne, Pockens, Hampton, Hagood by coupling the executive office with such Incendiary and lawless utte rances as: "I as governor would lead a mob to lynch a nigger for rape." Has the. pitchfork methods and the barnyard manners of this demagogue in the Sonate of the United States tend ed to bring back tho State to the no ble and honorable position where It stood in the days of Cnlhoun? But why go further into this sicken ing record of "Ten years of Tillman ism" in South Carolina! Like the deadly upas tree its blight has black oned all within its intluence, and nought but the "master spirit" him self has grown fat and sleek upon Its poisonous exhalations!?Greenville Dally News. Wo reproduce the above with pleas ure, "Ten Years of Tillmanism", from the Greonvillo Daily News, con tent to have furnished a convenient text for our talented contemporary? consoled "that we are not only w'tty in ourselves, but the causo of wit bolng In othor people." But the Ingonlus News must not be allowed to divert the issuo?It is not Tillman's caroerlng from 181)0 until now, but his present attitude towards immediate and pend ing issues that wo have to deal with. Tillman's attitude to-day Is adverso to Imperialism and Republicanism, and therefore "normally" bringing the Stato back to tho attitude of Hampton and her honorable holding, before Till man. Wo accept Tillman ns ho is and stands to-day, not at his price ten years ago. Tillman was an accident in 1890. There was unrest In South Carolina, and that unrest, undctlnablo, hoisted Tillman into power and placed South Carolina in a false attitude Yet two thirds of tho whito people of South Carolina took Tillman on their shoul ders. Tho Greenville News therefore In assaulting Tillman's past, Indicts more than two thirds of tho white peo ple of South Carolina It Is not now, or unexampled, that the musses of mon are arousod and mako a revolution with out reason. Thoro has never boon a Govorment without llaw, with all pure agents, by Anglo saxons. If this wore so, then "Thou shalt not steal" coming from Mt. Sinai, had been superfluous. South Carolina's govormont at Till man's oxodus was probably as puro as any that over existed. But it is altogether a mistake, to charge tho uprising by tho pooplo of tho Stato in 1890 as an indictmoDt of tho noblo South Carolinians named by tho Nows. Haskell, was not evon In position, but a private citizen. Hampton, llaskell, Hudson, Wallace, Hagood, Butler, Mo Gowan, and all tho rost wero victims of tho prevailing unrost, (unaccountable) and uprising led by Tillman, of which he was tho accidental agent. In fact our immediate successors, (polities and passion removed,) and whon wo are all gone, will without dissenting voice, na'mo Hampton, Hagood, Haskell and Bullor, with a fow others, as tho fcroat horoesof South Carolina. Hut all this Is asido from tho roal, ponding, prosont Issue. Tillman's prosont attitude is to antagonize a "movement" that would harpoon the State into following after false gods and KopnbHcanlsm, and his "IconodHHiii" (which wo accept) is to ?mash and knock this movement Into Bpllthereons. We are to remain Dem ocrats. We could write more in this vein. Again, there has been no "icono clnsni," in tho State, unless we oxcopt tho franchise clause Hi the now constitution as "radical" and wc all accept this as tho work ' of ull tho people of South Carolina. I n questionably, however,Tillman was tho Paul of this movement, hoadand shoul ders over all tho rest. Wo arc only alarmed that our bright contemporary may havo got an over dose of that pop ular remedy the "Gold Cure." ? ? Laurons Mills. The Stato Kquill/.atlon Board has fixed tho following values for Taxa tion of Laurcns Cotton Mill property. Tho basis throughout the State is 00 per cout of tho market value of the stocks. Clinton Mills,.* ?0,000. Laurcns Cotton Mills, 21)0,000. Goldvillo Man'g Co.,.. J8.000. Olympia Cotton Mill, Columbia, leads all tho rest, 11,131,000. Then follows Clifton Manufacturing Co., Spartan burg, $1,020,000. Spartanburg County is far ahead of allothors in cotton man ufacturing. One of tho Summer School orators recently spoke of South Carolina as a Manufacturing State. It wa9 a weak blunder. Our Cotton Manufacturing is an item in tho list of thousands of manufactured articles of our dally con sumption. Wo should not veil until we are ont of tho woods. Tdio maturing cotton crop is ostiinatod at a million bales for this State. All tho mills of tho South take one and a half million bales. When we manufacture our plow stock, plow share, backhand, plow line, blind bridle, and plow gear wo may begin to blow a little. Most that we woar is mado of our own cotton, but tho indus try and skill of other States and peoples return tho stuff to us in shape for con sumption. They add 500 per cout io tho value of tho raw material. Temple of Fame. In 1864 Congress passed an Act giv ing each Slato the right to place in statuary hall, in tho Capitol at Wash ington, the statues of two of it?s citi zens. Eighteen States have exercised this privilege, although some of them are represented by but ono statue. Vir ginia has piaoed in the hall a statue of Washington, and Missouri is ropro sonted by statues of Bonton and Blair. There aro no othors from what is known as tho Southorn States, but some attention is now being given to tho matter in the South and there is much reason to beliovo that in the near future this section of the country will bo fully roprosentcd in statuary hall." Tho News and Courier says: "There is no occasion for hurry in this particu lar movement, wo believe. Tt is very hard for any Southern State to decide which two of Its sons should havo a place In tho collection, and tho decision becomes harder to make every year with the stoady increase of prominent citizens." Wo beg to suggost that a choico is becoming easier and easier with South Carolina as tho years como and go. Wo should tako Hampton and Calhoun at once and there an end. The prospect of improvement is not bright. * * Spartanburg is tho great county of "Grand old" South Carolina?tho ad jectives borrowed. Some of her citi zens held a public gathering Salesday at tho Court House town, and resolved to be ropresonted with an exhibit in Charleston. A resolution went unan imously to ask tho Legislature to auth orize a special county levy to raise tho funds. But tho Gods help those who help themselves. Seo Aesop on Jovo in a passing cloud and tho clown and his cart stuck in tho mud. The Chairman of the meeting ol enthusiastic citizens said: "It was difficult for tho committee to accomplish anything for two reasons. In tho first placo they had no money and saw no source from which they could got any." Then it is apparent, that tho "second place" was suporlluous. Ninety-nine per cent, of tho obstacles in this worlds pilgrimage aro encountered right bore. We are growing sceptical about our Laurens oxhlbit. (irooniing Him.

Vannoy Cleveland, a gentleman well known in this state and whose home was Id Georgia, died in this city a few days ago, at tho home of John 15. Cleveland. Mr. Cleveland died of paralysis. He had a stroke about five years ago. Fri day he was again struck and did not raflv. The funeral services will be held to morrow and tho interment made in this city. Vannoy Cleveland was sixty years of ago, and was a son of Robert Memphis Cleveland. His mother, Mrs. Fannnie Cleveland, whose home is in Marietta, Ga., was with him when he died. His half brother, W. C. Cleveland, and bis slater, Mrs. H. 1>. Cleveland, live in Greenville. Two brothers live in Ten nessee, and his ?lstor, Mrs. John B. Cloveland, livos in this city. Mr. Cleveland, who was known to his intlma'e friends as "Cap." was a great favorite wherever known II?' had not an enemy and was never know n to say an unkind word. He had friends all over Ibis state and in other states. For a long while he was a resident of Groenvillo. He served four years In the war between tho states and was a valliant member of tho Hampton Le gion.?Spartanbnrg Journal. - "Van" Cleveland was brave among the bravest and a noble, generous spirit. In 1803 Lougstreet lay seige to Sulfolk, Va. Vau came to Head quarters as firing was not allowed in camp and announced that ho wanted to clean his gun. There was sharp tiring in the rille pits and Van asked leave to go down on the lines and discharge his pioce. Onco one the line ho could not resist engaging In a duel with a blue coat in tho opposite pits. After a while Van reported, smiling, shot through the shoulder, and the blood trickling towards his shoes. It was a 30 days furlough ho said.

(Written for last week.) After a long silence we will try to give you some, of the happenings around our quiet little village. We have had rain almost, every day since tho 28th of July. Our streams have been higher than ever be fore known, ami have left nothing on bottom lands. Cotton has loo much wood and If the rains continue thcro will be a vory short crop, especially the late plant ing. There is plenty of grass and our far mers should be careful to save it all. Mr. O. L. Lanford now has bis saw mill In full operation cutting lumber 't repair our buildings. Mr. Crow had tho misfortune to lose his houso and nearly everything there in by lire last Sunday morning. Some of tho family barely escape with tbelrd llvos. Capt. J. W. Lanford has bis ginnery ready lo prepare the new crop for mar kot. We hope thcro is an abundant crop coming on. Quito a number of our people have been attending tho camp meeting at Laurens this week. Among them Capt. J. W. Lanford, Mis3 Mossle Lanford, Mr. and Mrs. M. Fleming, Mr. and Mrs. T. R. DeShields, J. E. Johnson, C. W. McCravy and others. They report some very lino preaching. We need a meeting of that kind in our little town. Mr. C.L. Waldrop is going to en large his store room by building a gro cery department to one end. Mrs. J. M. Fleming and Miss Minnie. Lanford who have been visiting friends and relatives in Tonnessoo and North Carolina have returned home. Mr. J. M. Fleming went to Ashvillc last Sunday, returning on Monday. . Mrs. J. E. Johnson is on a visit to friends and relatives near Fvansville, in Spartnnburg county. The protracted meeting at tho Meth odist church will begin on the 2nd Sun day in this month. Your humble scribe, in company with a member of the stall, attended the Laurons County News' picnic held in a beautiful grove near Maddens. There wore about 76 in attendance.

Tho good people of Lau rens county are noted for their hos pitality, jnd it was never hotter shown at a picnic than on that oc casion, for wo certainly had a great amount of good things to eat.

Antlio Watts Fuller, tho beloved wife of Mr. Hittloge Fuller, and daugh ter of Col. J. Wash Watts, in the 28tb year of her age. Was horn December 12th, 1^7:$. She was married June the 1st, 1008, to Mr. James Dial. Tlieir union was 0110 of unalloyed happiness. Ho died August 1st, just two months aftcr waids. She passed through this fiery trial and came out subniissivc, and purer if that were possible. On the 6th of last November she was United in marriage to Mr. Kutlegc Ful- j ler, but their happy married lifo was of short duration also, she dying Au gust tho 1st., just three years to tho day that Mr. Dial died. Our entire community was very much saddened by the death of our highly esteemed young friend, but siui as is " he loss to us, her friends and ad mirers, who can essay to express the great sorrow of her grief stricken hus band and family. One sister especially was completely prostrated with grief, and for the time our thoughts were partly drawn from Antho in striving to comfort Jayne, for it seemed almost like parting with her own lifo in giving up Antho. They were perfectly devot-" od to each other from their childhood, and their "souls seemed knit together" with an undying affection. But soon the "Healer,.was there, pouring halm on her heart." and saying "I love thee pass uuder the rod." And it was beau tiful to see with what Christian resig nation sho and the rest of her loved ones accepted. Our friend, early in life, gave her heart to the Saviour, and joined the Chestnut Kidgo Baptist Church, and by her pure Christian life gave more than ample proof that all was "well with her soul." Indeed, purity of thought, word and deed was the chief characteristic of life: for before and after she died three of her sisters made such remarkable statements of her as the following: "Antho is as pure as a snowtlake." ' She was so pure, so pure.' ' There never was a purer soul that ever entered the gates of Heaven than Antho." Could there bo greater eulogies pass ed on anyone by the home circle? And be it said tho praise of herself and no ble Christian husband, that during the eight months Of their married life, not one unkind word was spoken by cither of them. Sho often Spoke Of her death, but without the slightest dread, and with prospects so beautiful and bright. "When the (lowers of hope bent their dewy lips to kiss her sanguine feet," she so sweetly and peacefully relinquished the pleasures of this lifo 'for the joys eternal! Her remains were laid to rest beside those of her Infant daughter in the Fuller family cemetery. May her pure Christian example over be a constant inspiration to us to live just such a life, that it may bo said of us too, "Blessed are the pure in heart, for they shall 896 God."
