It is said that '"whorn the godi- wou! deitroy they first make iead.'" W beg the rood peop:e of this count; especially. to ii--ten for this one Whether you :gree with the poi tion of The Herald and News in al thiugs or not, listen, we have a word t sy. You love your country. you lov r State, you love your family: the: for the rood of your country, you State and your fu mi!y, let u= reasoi together. No good can roml,e to you, you country or your State, nor to thor whom you hold dear. by falling ou with your neighbor. or causing a feu that may last for year_. over this littl family quarrel that we have in thi State now. We do not ask you to sacrifice an principle which you may think to b right, but in your advcacy of it, d not get mad with your neighbor. c your friend. who may not think jus as you do. lie may be just as Cor scientious asyou are. and, in all faii nexs give him credit fer pure motive If you do not, our word for it, you wi be sorry for it sooner or later.

There are men in this State toda who are posing as fr:h-nds of the farme and talking ioudy, and writing o uminously about the cri mon peopl and the men who wa:k between th plow had!ts, and ab, ut all this agit: tion being in 'he interest of the labo ng people. who n:ever' pl'.wed a furro' in their lives, and who have no mioi interest in the comm on popl than tt King of Prussia. What they want is your vote. The want a soft pisc-e for themselves, an they' think this sort of appeal is popt bar with the working people of th country. and they are trying to delud you with it. Our word for it. you wi tind out the truth of what we sa sooner or lter. The editor of thbis paper was reared o the farm, and has done a great dei -.more hard work there than many< those who are now posing as t1 friends of the laboringr class. His fathe now resides ou a farm and earns b daily bread by the labor of his hand: All his family connections live on th~ farm, and have for generations bael All that we hold dear on earti whether you believe it or not, isi some way or other eksv~ely identifie with the farmer, and those who lab< daily. We are proud of 't. and ot sympathies are naturally with thee people. We want no o$er:~ for oursel and there is no one near us by famil connection, or othberwise, who is seel lng office. We write in the interest: no man or set of men. We try to be 2 free from prejudice as man can bi Then, listen! If we k.now ourself, we w ant to pr< mote the interest of all the people< this dear old S!ate. No one can truthfuliy charge us wit belonging to the aristocracy. We ai 'from the rank and file of the commo people. if such a term is proper in th! country. Then we beg you to listen. Do nc he deluded by tbis cry of the comnmo people against the aristocracy.

New, in thiscase is right or wrong4 we have the approval of our own conscience. and what we desire to im pre: now. is, that this preliminary tampaign be conducted on a high plane and above personalities, and that the peeple think for themselves, and listen to botb side-. and that good feeling be prezeretd, and that all the people make up their minds to abide the result of l the will of the majority. Let us differ if we like, but let good will prevail. Doi't listen too much to those who e would endeavor to array one class c against another. We all have the same Ii interest.'. and if we want to prosper we iust all labor together for the common good. Those who would preach other wise are common enemies to the com munities in which they live, and to the 3 whole State. Then let us have peace and harmony. Let us differ if we like, but not be too i quick to precipitate a street fight. Let us stand up for our positions and what we think right, but let good will pre vail. Let us maintain our position, but not be too quick to question the motives of our neighbors. Let us show ourselves men, true, manly men. in this . matter, and not be led about by the r demagogue who would array brother against brother to promote his own in terests, and let us never forget that harmony within our own ranks is e essential to white suprenmacy in South t Carolina. i We read only the other day in a e book of poems for children, the follow ing lines, which it might be well for some people to commit to memory, in the present political situation in South e Carolina: S"A little bit of patience often makes the r ~ sunshine come, And a little bit of love makes a very t happy home; - A little bit of hope makes a rainy day look gay, And a little bit of charity makes glad a weary way." Hon. W. A. Courtenay positively refuses to let his name be used as a candidate for Governor. t . The State Campaign will open next , Tuesday at Greenville. We will know by that time who all are to be in the s race for the various State offices. Col. R. E. Bowen, of Pickens, is said t to be a candidate for Congress from this District. What's the matter with Oconee, can't she trot out a candidate too? Then every cotnty in the District would have one or more candidates. Let 'em all come. e .o far the following gentlemen have - been announced, or announced them selves, as candidates for State offices: r For Governor-Capt. B. R. Tiliman, e of Edgefield: Gen. John Brat ton, of e Fairtield. IFor Attorney General-Gen. Y. J. v Pope, of Newberry. and Col. E. B. d Gary, of Abbeville. - For Comptroller General.-Honi. J. S. s; Verner, of Oconee. SFor Superintendent of Education LI Hon. Jas. H. Rice, of Abbeville. v For Adjutant and Inspeetor General -Col. Hugh L. Farley, of Spartan 1 burg, and Cot. 3!. L. Bonham, of I Abbaeville. f It is reported, but not formally an e nounced, that GJen. Jos. H. Earle, of r~ Sumter, will be out as a candidate for s Governor, within the next few days. eThe unveiling of the Lee Mionument -in Richmond last week was a great event in the history of the South and this country. Lee was one of the Sgreatest men this country has ever pro duced. Great in that which makes r true men. Great in character. No edisloyalty to the Union was meant. It rwas simply a beautiful tribute to one whose memory will live while time shall last. We publish this week the Constitu tion prepared by the County Demo eratic Executive Committee under fdirection from the last County Conven tion held in 1888, to be submitted to the next County Convention for adop etion, amendment, or rejection. It Thel be well to preserve this copy of TeHerald and News, and if you have aychanges to offer to this constitution come prepared to do so in the County 2Convention which will be called for the :28th of June. .The Abbeville Press and Banner says .'that it is rumored in Abbeville that the Iconference held at Greenwood somie ftwo weeks ago by the Tillmian men >was for the purpose of effecting a comn 1promise bet ween Gen. Y. J. Pope, of Newberry, and Col. E. lB. Gary, of Abbeville, both of whom are candi dates for Attorney General on the -Tillmnan ticket. It is said that Col. Gary would likely be tendered the Lieutenant Governorship on' the Till man ticket with a view to leaving the ffield clear to Gen. Pope. We have heard nothing further of the rumor. We publish elsewhere what the Press jand Banner said. I The Herald and News so far has not expressed its preference for Governor ( among the various candidates who have been mentioned, as likely to be in the race. We presume that we mightt be permitrted that privilege. Ex-Gov-. ernor John C. Sheppard, of Edgefield, is the man of our choice, and we hope to see him enter the race. We trust the people of Newberry will remember that the mass meetingc appointed for this place on June 13th, is neither a Tillman meeting nor an auti-Tillman meeting, but that it is a nmass-meetingt of Democrats held undera the auspices of ithe Democratic party to hear those who aspire to positions- on the State ticket discuss the issues ofa the day.L Let it be conducted in such a manner as will be a credit to the good people of Newberry. We trust that those who attend will come with a determination to see that fair play and an equal showing and a, respectful hearing is given every man i who comes here to deliver an addressv on that day,. That is all that any manx or candidate can ask. That is what we shall expect : the people of Newberry to do.

A- a political h.,nor that of Lieuten ant (overnuor would be more to be desired than that of Attorney-'*enera!. from the fact that if the Tillnan ticket is elected. the Lieutenant-Governor would possibly become the (;overnor after the fourth of next March. The success of the Tillman faction would bring about a revolution of political sentiment and a breaking up of old lines of policy. For this rea.son Senator Hampton would find opposition to his re-election. and Governor Tillmsn would likely be nothing loth to taking the place which Senator Hampton now holds. If he can be electea Governor a majority of the Legislature will pro'. ably be his fI,llowers. With a stron_ delegation supporting hin, and with a large per cent. of the members of the Legislature pronounced in their oppo sition to him, as Governor. Mr. TilIan would be elected to the Senate at the expiration of Senator Hampton's term. leaving the Lieutenant-Governor to become Governor. With prospects like this, it wou:d not be surprising if the nomination for Lieutenant-Governor should be greatly desired by tho-e who look forward to political pref'erm:en:. Should Colonel Gary win the honors in this contest it will add another vie tory to hirn whose success in polities and at the bar has been so marked.

They are given publicity in The World inasmuch as they have become street talk, and caused much surprise and sonme doubt.
