March Convention for Lieutenant

WHO ARE IN THE RING?
The Herald and News is sorely tirec
of hearing politicians who want office
and newspapers that think it popular
talking about "court house rings" anc
"ring rule." It is nauseating. Thi4
cry is the hobby of the demagogue. Il
is done to array the people who live it
the country against those who happer
to live at the court house. Those wh<
engage in this sort of rhetoric an(
oratory are doing it because they thinl
it popular, and they ;,eiteve the peopi
will be deludcd ani induced to whool
them up, and help in this way ,<
further their selfish purposes. But i
there is a genuine ring at the cour
house, and there are real living iudi
viduals inside of it, who are combine(
together for the purpose of controlling
and oppressing the farmers, let us knov
who they are and what mischief the
are doing, and then let us all unite t<
crush the ring and bring to account th4
men who are doing the mischief. It is
utter folly and stupidity to be talking
about "court house ring," and all tha'
sort of stuff without specifying. W4
confess that we are real anxious fo:
those who indulge in these sort o
charges to be a little more specifi'.
This paper*belongs to no faction, an(
we are anxious to do what we can fo:
the public good, and if there is a com
bination at the court house inside s
ring, we wouid be glad for those wh<
make the assertion to be more specific
Make out the couuts in the indictmen
a little more plainly, and we will d<
anything to scatter this combination
either at the court house or the Stat
house; we will touch off what little
combustion we can command.
We cannot see how any sensible mat
in this country would endeavor to com
bine against the farmer, or would desin
to injure him, when the great majorit3
of our people are farmers. We are suri
we desire the success of the farmers
and if we were actuated by no highe:
than a selfish motive, would not say oI
do anything detrimental to the farm
ing interests. The editor of this papel
was born and reared on the farm, and
he is proud of it. We do not want t<
see the farmers of this State deludei
by the demagogue and the politician
whether he lives at the court house oi
forty miles away. We do not want t<
7 see one class of our citizens prejudices
against another class. We want rathel
to see our people united, all working
together for the comnmon good. Al
classes of our citizens are equally in:
terested in good and honest govern
ment, economically administered. Ani
no good and true and patriotic citizem
of South Carolina will try to engende
discord and strife among our people
We have no objection to the farmer
taking charge, but as. they are largely
in the majority we think they can d<
so without abusing other people. Bul
it is not the farmers who indulge ir
these charges so much as some politi,
ticians who are trying to ride this
hobby into some fat place for them
selves.
Let us know these rings and who arn
inside of them. Those fellows who are
talking so loudly .about "rings" are
after something for themselves. Jusi
watch for a little while and you will
be convinced.
-The Oconee Ciunty Alliance met
last Friday and passed resolutions en
dorsing the nomination of B. R. Till
man for Governor. A set of resolutions
were also adopted for the candidates
for Congress in this district to be
guided by in order to secure the sup
port of that body in the race.
The Pickens County Alli-.nee alsc
held a meeting last Friday and B. R.
Tillman was also endorsed for Gover
nor.
One of the delegates to the late State
Convention in explaining why the
delegates from Pickens County voted
for nominations wvhen they had been
instructed to oppose nominations said,
the action of the University students
influenced him to vote for nominations,
and he thought secured the nomination
of Tillman at this Convention.
The Pickens Alliance endorsed the
action of their delegates.
It is a little remarkable that almost
the entire press of the State is so unan
imously opposed to the action of the
late State Convention in "suggesting"
Ca::t. Tillumani for Governor. In the
8ma e i ere is oneC daily for Tillmani and
live agai:st i:im , of the weeklies, ae
cording to t he classification of the
Gireeniviile News, there are six for
Tihun. ii ve non-committal, and
twen,ty-nine agains5t him. It is re
mamrkable~ we -:ay for it cannot be
charged that al tiese editors are the
prope'rty of any ring or fuetion. They
dio not t:de t heir p)ositioni because they
arc opposed t rnmers or the farming
interests. fur ini nearly every cas~e the
fromi the NarRIber-.
The editor of the Abbevilie Pressand
Hamner celebrated his t hirtv4tirst an
niversamry as prop)lrietori of that paper
last wetek. We should judge from this
tha the editor was nearly old enough
to gect mnarrica4. We simplyI miake this
as a suggZest1in. The P'rr ss and Bannuer
is at good) p4alper.
Two out of three papers published in
Edgetieli (County do not support the
nminilationt of .lr. Tillmman for Gov
ernor. Stra nge indeed ! WVe never ue
fore heard of the F.deetield Chronicle
failing to support anm Edgefield man, it
matters not for what he might run.
Bro. B:aeon will have to explain.
FAIR PLAY.
While we do not think the nomina
tion by the March Convention a wise
one, yet we trust that Mr. Tillman may
te treated fairly, and we hope that he
will follow the same rule in his canvass
of the State. We sincerely tru-t that .
we shall not have in this State this 2
year a campaign of abuse and slander
and villification. Nothing can be gained
for either wing of the party by such
tactics. If Mr. Tillman can convince a r
majority of the Democratic voters of
South Carolina that he is the man they
want for Governor and the regular
State Convent ion puts him forward as t
the nominee of the party, why then we
must make up our minds to abide the
result. If, on the other hand, a ma
jority of the Democrats think some
other man is the man they want for
Governor, then Mr. Tillman and his
friends must make up their minds to
bow to the will of the people grace
fully. If we are to have a primary
canvass of abuseand vlilification neither
side will be in a condition to accept de
feat.
We shall expect to see Mr. Tillman
defeated, but we shall not abuse him
nor his friends. We give them credit
for honesty in their motives and pur
poses, whether we en-iorse their
methods or not. Then let us have fair
play all around.
The editor of The Herald and News
was in Columbia last week and while
there took a walk through the State
House, and amongst other places,
walked into the hall of the House of
Representatives where the late State
Convention was held, and he confesses
that he was greatly surprised at the
condition in which the members of
this March Convention left the beauti
ful marble floor. Every man of them<
must have been a chewer of the "filthy
weed," for the floor was literally
covered, to be plain, with tobacco spit.
And we were told that over two hun
dred spittoons were placed in the hall
for the use of this Convention. Tobacco
will stain the marble and it will be
very difficult to get it off. We wish the
members of that Convention could
have seen the condition of that beauti
ful marble floor when they left it.
We say this in no fault finding or 1
hypercritical spirit, but because it is
plain truth, and one that we much re
gret is so true.
On yesterday at 12 o'cioek Mr. Geo.
B. Cromer turned over to our newly
elected Mayor, J. K. P. Goggans, Esq.,
the management of the affairs of our
city government. Mr. Cromner has
made a good Mayor, and the man who
succeeds him will have no easy job to
fill the .office as well. So far as we
know the administration of Mr. Cromer
has been entirely acceptable to all
classes of our citizens, and Mr. Cromer
in his retirement from the office carries
with him the best wishes of all our
people, and the satisfaction of duty well
and faithfully performed. His suc
cessor, Mr. Goggans, we believe will be
equal to the occasion and will give us a
wise and faithful administration. The
finances of the town are in good con
dition. Mr. Fair, the present clerk, has
managed the Opera House successfully
and well.
CLEMSON COLLEGE IS SAFE.
The Will Sustained by the United States
ISupreme Court.
WASHINGTON, April 7.-In the
United States Supreme Court to-day,
an opinion was rendered affirming ther
judgment of the United States Circuit
Court for the District of South Carolima I
in the case of Isabella Lee, appellant, I
vs. Richard W. Simpson. Mrs Calhoun,<
John C. Calhoun's wife, died in 1886,
leaving part of her property to a mar
ried daughter for life, with power to 1
bequeath it. Before her death she willed
her interest in the estate to her hus
baud, Thomas G. Clemson. The valdi
ty of this will was attacked, on the
ground that it did not amount to a be
quest; but the court, in an opinion
nelivered by Justice Blantchford, sus
tains the will.
SrORMI KING'S REIGN]
A Night of Terror in Kansas City.-A (
Heavy Wind and Rain Storm.
YEW ORLEANS, April 4.-A special
from Arkansas City, received at a late
hour last night, says:
Another wind and rain storm raged
here last night. Rain poured down all
night.
About 1 o'clock several strong blasts
of wind in rapid succession severely
tested the strength of every house in
town and brought their occupants out
of their beds. For several minutes it
looked as though the town would be
blown away. T[he terrors of a storm in
a town covered by' water to a depth of
to 12 feet can hardly be imagined.
CHURCHES AND RESIDENCES SUFFER. ]
A Catholic church, an elegant little
structure, was blown from its founda-r
tion and considerably damaged. The s
building was flooded to a depth 8 feet,d
and all furniture and tixturesdami
aged. c
A negro church was also blown from s
its foundation, but not seriously dam
aged. Three or four residences were
treated likewise. The damage will
aggrgate $2000.
This morning dawned bright and
clear. The river has been falling and
day after a risa of 1 foot last night on
account o,f the rain, and the gauge this
morning registers 48.4 feet, the back- 9
water is falling again, and if it should t
coitue to fall a few days the outskirts
of the overtlooded dlistriets along
crooked bayou will be sulticiently re
lieved for planting operations ton be
Two governmfenit boats, H. ML G ro-t
man and R1. A. Sheed, have been busy ~
all day relieving distressed people ont
the opposite side of thbe river. c
Capt. Trdlliniger, of the government
service, has secured a large compress
building here, and those of the M1issis
sippi people who want to come he is
having brought over.
A barge is at Otfuts landing to-dayt
being loaded with colored families and t
their goods They will be brought here
to-morrow. The building can accommo
date several hundred. Capt. Tollinger
offered to bring the people at Hunting
ton, who are crowded on platforms and
on levees, over to-day and give them s
quarters, but they declined for the Id
present, and will remain where they o
are unless another bad spell of w.eathier 11
sets in. There are two barges lying at v~
Huntington to-day and stock is being
put aboard. in a day or twvo these 1
bares, together with several other '.
bares wimth stock that has been sas ed c

SOME OF TUE FIRST FI''[TS.
low the Press of the State Stands on thw
Suggestion of Capt. Tillman.
[Greenville News.]
No political organization has ever
ceu in better shape titan the Farmters'
dovement, representing the reformu
ad progress wing of the Democratic
)arty of this State, was two mnontis
go. It had grown from a small and
lerided minority to a large majority,
espected and feared. It controlled it
he House of Representatives and
aeked but one vote of controlling the ri
senate. It had virtually controlled
tie last two Democratic State ('onven- d
ions. It was solid, strong and conti
lent and had the great lody of the
)eople and all the press, excepl t half a [
lozen newspapers, with it. It had
'rced the general adoption of the pri- ti
nary system, securing the direct and al
Lbsolute rule of the people. All it had l.
o do was to go into the State Derio- si
:ratie Convention in August and nomni- .j
late its own ticket for State ot;icers e1
Lid togo into the county primaries and c<
iominate its owni men for represelta- al
ives and senators. There would have ri
)een no opposition to it worth con- o
idering and it would have had every- s(
hing its own way, peacefully and v,
>asily. t<
But Captain Shell and (aq: in Till- t<
nan and the others of theni: -t ed to Li
he front. They issued a mianifesto and w
alled a convention of the Farmers' tl
1ovemlent and forced it to do their ri
will, which was to "suggest" t:tain n
'illnan for Governor.
We have been during the last two El
lays printing the connilents of the rr
veekly newspapers on the convention's ci
vork-not the daily newspapers y
>rited in the cities, but weeklies, h
)rinted in the smaller comiiunities, li
,irculating among the people, close to e:
hem and retlecting their opinious and
eading their tho' ght. All who have
-ead these iiuterest ig expressions must
lave been impress. d by the unanimity
ith which Captain Tillmnan's "sugges
ion" is oppose(l and denounced. We b
lo not know that t he State press has r<
wver before been so uiear;y s>lid on any c
luestion. U
We have been at some pains to take o

Where there was strength, unity and *

nd doubt. The faith of the people in
.he Farmers' Movement has been
haken, we fear beyond restoration,T
Lnd all because somie of Captaiu Till
nan's special friends sought to gratify
sis amibition to be governor. A mighty
novement which pronsised to do great
md lasting work for the State and the d
;eerations of her children who are to
:ome after has been wveakened and
mperilled for the sake of one man.
It is easay to tell lies aboLit the press

E-rTA JANE, Mlarch :',1.-Last week

ong the Union side of Broad river, s
eating the line of the A ugusta divi: 11
oil or the Three C's railroad. The "
oht of way, .I think, is practically se- t
ired, and it is probable that work will t
)nmence soon. Col. A. Urquhart was (
ong the line last week securing the w
ght of way from property holders. In ir
le or two eases the right hasn't been P
cured yet, and the parties may hold el
it, but I hardly think they can afford
stem the current of public sentiment
r the paltry sum they may secure for

.Somte few changes will be made on
