ELBERT H. ALLL, EDITOR. ELBERT H. AU-LL, Proprietors. WM. P. HOUSEAL, NEWBERRY. S. C. WEDSESDhfl, aPRIL '7. 1,92. HOW IS THI.? The Tillnanites in Richland County are no doubt in the ninority. Last Friday they held a meeting in Colun bia to consider the situation. Among other things the following resolution was adopted: "Resolred, That the delegates to the next ensuing Democratic County Con vention, who favor tlq present State ad ministration, demand . just represen tation in said conventic. :and if such representation be refused them, then they shall withdraw and organize them selves into a County Democratic Con vention and send delegates to the May State Convention." How does this read for men who are talking so much about bolting and in dependents. Suppose the anti-Tillman men inNewberry,when they were in the minority, had held a meeting and made any such resolutions, why they would have been characterized as bolters and independents, but in the other fellow it is right. Another thing we don't understand is how, under the new constitution, clubs can meet and elect delegats to the County Conventions for May 2, on any other day than April 9. Yet in Spar tanburg the Tillmanite chairman or ders clubs that have already met and elected, to meet again and elect over. These things are all very queer to us. It seems that the law is to be strictly enforced where it will help the powers that be, and where such construction will not, then it can be enlarged or so construed as to meet the demands of the case. Our County Convention is to meet at the court house next Monday to elect delegates to the State Convention which is called to elect delegates to the National Democrat ic Convention. The Herald and News hopes that our con vention will be peaceful and harmoni ous. Ther is no reason why it should be otherwise. IL fact there is no earthly reason why the State campaign should be otherwise. Everybody has gone into it pledged to abide the result at the polls, and why not let each candidate have his say and when the ballots are counted let the man who has the most receive the support of every one. There is no profit to the voter in ripping around and tearing his shirt. It matters not who ,s elected the ma jority of us will have to go on earning our bread as heretofore. Civis makes final reply to Col. Keitt's new financial scheme, in this issue of The Herald and News, while Col. Keitt says they propose to smash both old parties and build a new one that will give the relief wve need. We publish on our first page this week Governor Tillman's speech at Greenville as reported in the Register, his own pet journal, and we presume it can be counted on as giving his side of the case in the strongest possible light. It is our purpose to be fair to all parties. A call has been issued for a secret conference of Southern representatives of the Alliance at Birmingham, on Tuesday, May 3. The call has been is sued by C. WV. Mlacune with the ap provalof L. L. Polk. Theschemeseems to be for a new party founded on a silvir plank, led by Mr. Teller. Mr. L. L. Polk is to be the candidate for presi dent. We will see what we shall see. "I met the boys in 1890, and have got themi in my breeches pockets." * Tillman at Edgefield. Is that true, "boys?" The Governor should not be telling it so publicly. Freemen don't always like to admit that they are being carried around in other people's breeches p)ockets. But, then, we suppose Governor Tillman knows. It is a great pity we can't get the truth in regard to the political meet ings that are being held. Each man wants to boom his side and possibly sees things differently, but th!ere should not be such great discrepancies. In the report of the Edgefield meeting on Saturday the State and the News and Courier agree in estimating the crowd as about equally divided between Shep pard and Tillman. The Greenville Demuocrat says that Tillman "had at least three to the opposition's one in the audience, and his triumph was com plete." But the Register did not think that was sufficient to make the "triumph" "complete,'' and puts the crowd ten to one in favor of Till man. Well, surely, somebody, failed to see things as they were. If the news papers on all sides would keep nearer the truth their inf!uence would be more powerful. TILL MAN IsMS. Tfillmnan in reply to Sheppard: "D)on't hide behind Tillman's letters; by God, come up to the rack." "'I never nmade any p)retenlsio..s to re ligion. I amt not a mem ber of the Bap tist church who gambles and drinks. I stand here and humbly say I anm noth ing but a poor sinner. I talk fronm the w~ord( plain and straight from my heart. I amt rough and uncouth, but before God Almighty I am honest." The above are extraea fronm Gov. Tillman's speech at Edgetield last Sat urday. This is a Christian St2te and he is the Governor of this p)rould com: monwealth. Christian men antd ministers of the gospel in some eases are helping to re tain him in this position. Thte G;overnor also explained his Greenville utterance as follows: "When I said that I would go to hell with my followers if they would not follow me rather than to .go to heaven with these other people. 1 meant every word of it. [A pplause.i I want to say that I didn't intend any irreveren:ce and mteant to emphasize the fact that 1 amt with the farmers now and expect to THE EDGEFIELI) MEETING. The meeting at Edgefield last Satur day seems to have been less boisterous t han the one at Greenville the Satur day previous. We are glad to see this change. All the :peakers were given very good attention, and from all the reports we conclude that both factions had a good follow ng at the n'eeting. The speeches were very much on the same line as those delivered at Green ville. Gov. Tillman was kept on the defen sive at lialgefield. He has a lot to ex plain away, and if he sniceeds in this he will not have much time left to make new promises or renew old ones unfulfilled. He says the accept:ance of that free pass No. 1 was the mistake of his life, and he seems now to be sorry for it. He never saved the State the $100,000 he promised he would in his Newber ry speech two years ago, but then he had only a "driftwood" Legislature. He says he promised to reduce the sal aries, but his Legislature couldn't get along with less than $5 a day and they wouldn't. But did Gov. Tillman re commend a reduction of salaries? Every little speaker that gets up now has got to have his say about the news papers, and Gov. Tillman is no excep tion. The newspapers can afford it. The majority of them are honest and are writing what they believe to be for the best interests of the State without reward or the hope of reward. We are glad to see the campaign meeting at Edgefield was decent and orderly and that every speaker was given a hear'ng. There is no excuse or reason in a meeting being otherwise. The indications now plainly are that Cleveland will be the nominee of the Democrats for President, and that there will be no serious objection. Senator Irby is again home from Washington. The State campaign is troubling him about now a great deal worse than his oner:us duties in Wash ington. We Should Make the Most of Life. To the Editor of The Herald and News: Little did I think, when I penned you my la I. t+"-. weees ago, that to-night, Monday, i would again .be found begging the use of the columns of your valuable and highly appreci ated paper, whose subscriber I have been for more than thirty years; though its name has been changed more than once, yet it is still the grand old stand ard of our beloved county. Saturday last, with loved ones and friends, I followed the remains of my old friend Henry H. Blease, and saw them laid away in our beautiful Rose mont Cemetery, while weeping loved ones stood around and witnessed and listened to the sad but solermu services, and tender liands placed beautiful and lovely flowers upon his grave; and to day, Monday, I agrin joined a large concourse of relatives, neighbors and friends in following to the grave, the hallowed spot of odi Ebenezer camp ground, one whom I have known only to honor and respect, my old friend and fellow laborer, A ndrew J. Kilgore. It was there at this hallowed spot that he and I, with others, worked to gether with heart, hand and means in re-establishing and erecting at old Ebe nezer the largest, most substantial and well arranged arbor ever built in this county, and hard by each other we had our tents, where it was our pleasure to entertain and welcome our friends and brethren, but sad to say, many of whom have passed away, but such is life. "We know the past, we know the present too, but, oh! who the un born future knows." May God in his wisdom protect, keep, bless and preserve the orphans of our deceased friends, and may the con solations of those who trust in a re union beyond the grave be their com fort and stay through these years to come. Our hearts are sad as we think there is no home in our dear old county and town but has either a vacant chair or an em pty cradle. How I am reminded of the words used in an eloquent and impressive sermon preached by the be loved Rev. R. D.Smart, D. D., when pastor of this charge. There is no home without its skeleton. How few are here now that were here forty or fifty years ago. Fifty-eight years will soon have passed over~The writer's head, and yet how short seems the time. But when the mind runs back over the cares, trials, afflictions and disappointments of the past, we find among these many gardens filled with beautiful flowers, where we have stopped and enjoyed, to our heart's content-even to over flowing-the pleasures and joys of life while mingling with loved ones and friends. How guarded we ought to live, that we may not let the cares and disappointments of life rob us too much of our time, but to determine to make this life, as far as possible, a life that we can look back upon and find many oases of joy and gladnss. Oh how we need these things at this time, when we hear so mnuch political discussion which 1 fear will yet culmi nate in feelings of not only bitterness, but strife. How forcible ought the Scripture injunction to come to each one of us, that every city or house di vided shall not stand. Heed the warn ing that was given at a memorable period in the past, that roused every heart that heard it, and to-day should ring out in clarion notes and rouse every true Carolinian's heart.

LSpecial to Greenville News.j COLU1MIA, S. C., Apri. l d--GovernOr Tillmnan made an appointment to-day that will raise a howl about his ears and assist in his defeat f'or re-election. I t is that of Tom Kiernan as trial jus tie in this city. Kiertan is a young mechanic wvho was discharged several weeks ago from the rail road shops for rnaking a socialistic speech attacking; the compar.y that emiployed him and tending to array capital against labor. Kiernan has no education andl is en tirely ignorant of the law;. Thle governor favored the appoint ment of John G. Capers, but Superin tendent of the Pen itentia ry Talbert and . Rt. Brooks, another administration ofice holder, in behalf of the working men bearded the lion in his deni and threatened open war if Kiernani was not appointedt and the pupilage of Kier nan was made iiecessary. He was ac cordingly put through a two week's course of law by Attorney General 31eLaurin and to-day lhe graduated as a full liedged trio l justice.

Governor Tillinan's Appeal to the Men of hna Own County Created no Special EnthuelaAin-The Arraignment of the Ad:ninistration by Ex Governor Sheppard and Col. James L. Orr Divided. [Special to News and Courier.I EI>(; FIFLI., April ::.--The Edgetield caipaigin meeting occurred to-day. Every condition was favorable for a large political gathering. Naturesmiled and the people turned out to see and hear. The discussion between the in vited speakers took place in the Acade my Grove, in the suburbs of the town, where a substantial stand and seats for ive hundred peoplehad been provided. ARRIVAL OF THE SPEAKERS. About 9 o'clock Governor Tillman, accompanied by Col. John Gary Evans, rode through the :treets of the town. but the Governor's appearance caused no flurry or especial manifestation. Mr. Sheppard and Col. Orr came to the place of meeting together. An informal procession formed on the public square and accompanied by the Edgefield Brass Band reached the place of speak ingat 11 o'clock, and rapidly utilized the seats and the vacant space adjacent to the stand. i)GEFIELD ON GoOD BEHAVIOR. The gathering numbered from 2.0(X) to 2,5U persons, including about 150 ladies. The crowd was much more orderly than that at Greenville a week ago, and while excitement ran high the exhibitions of ill-temper and howling were not nearly so frequent and boiste rous The speakers were, in the main, accorded a respectful reception. THE RECEPTION OF THE ORATORS. Governor Tillman opened the pro ceedings in a two hours' speech and was given good attention and hearty appla use and was the recipient of several bouquets. Ex-Governor Sheppard fol lowed in an address of fif0y minutes, during which he was repeatedly and enthusiastically cheered and made a vigorous argument againt Tillman and his methods. He also received some extremely beautiful floral offerings and made a de':idedly favorable impression. Attorney General McLaurin followed in a twenty minutes' speech of a mild characte:. Col. Orr spoke an hour and handled his points in a manner that elicited much applause. BOTH SIDES PLEASED. At ti-ues both Sheppard and Orr were compelled to suspend temporarily by the noise and interruptions of the opposition. Tillman at times spoke with some feeling, and frequently when hits were made by his opponents arose i'nd interrupted them. At one time the Governor undertook to test the senti ments of the audience by a hand pri mary, and about half the crowd signi fied the preference for himself. Accord ing to the best estimates the audience was very nearly evenly divided, and the enthusiasm and ability of the dis cussion were such as to have been a source of gratification to the Conserva tives, and probably to the Tillmanites likewise. Tillman acted on the defen sive, and was close pressed with two hours to make an effectual argument. Among those on the stand were the following members of the two tickets: Tillman, Sheppard, Orr, Murphy, Dixon, McLaurin, Tindall, Youmans and Farley, and Ernest Gary, Senator Timmerman, U. Reversible Brooks and others. Lieutenant (overnor Gary was not present. Capt. Ernest Gary pre sided and the meeting was opened witb prayer by the Rev. A. B. Watson. Governor Tillman began his remarks by saying, in the language of Sir Wal ter Scott, that he was on his native heath and that hi name was Mc Gregor. After havitig been equally traduced,slandered and misrepresented with Scott's Irish patriot since he took up the cudgel for the farmers' rights, he was proud to meet the people of his home once more. He defied anyone to point to any falsehood that he had uttered, or to any mean or little act that he had ever performed. He was rough and uncouth, without the silken arts of the bamboozler. He was the most hated man in the State. Tne issue in 1890 was whether the people or the Ring should rule-the tight is now between the people and monopolies and corporations. The opposition movement was prompted by those who had appealed to the negro two years ago and who hated the one gallused farmers who pretended to take part in the Governmient of their State. All the good government that has been obtained has been through the farmers. Lawyers and Haskellites controlled the Conservative Conven tioni, though it tried to obtain favor by swallowing the farmers' demands. He defended his action in the Coosaw and railroad cases and favored a $3 poll tax in order to compel the negroes to help support the schools. He was opposed to working convicts on public improve ments and taxing the people to support them. THE MISTAKE OF HIS LIFE. Governor Tillman proceeded to dis uss Col. Orr's speeches at Laurens and Anderson, and said the Legislature had betrayed its pledges and refused to support himi. He refused to extend the time for the payment of taxes because the January interest on the State bonds had to be met, and his action in the Agricultural Hall matter was to save the people from loss. He said, in an swer to a question, that he had ac epted a free pass from Bunch McBee, that it was the greatest mistake of his life, that it had hurt him, but never injured the people, and if he had fol lowed his wife's advice he would not have accepted it. He accused Col. Orr of voting for Judge Willard against Judge Mc Gowan, and of opressing the employees of his factory, and accused him of hav ing been a Republican office-holder, attached to the Russian legation. Mr. Orr arose and announced the last state ment as untrue. He said Sheppard was swinging to Orr's coat tails, and if elected it would be a case of the tail wagging the dlog. Thbe opposition newspapers were blind as ad ders and venomous as rattlesnakes. H e did say at Green ville that be would go to hell with his followers rather than go to heaven with those other people; but he (did not intend irrever ence and wished merely to emphasize his devotion to the farmers' cause. He had never made any preten tions to re ligion, anid was not a member of the Baptist Church who ganib!ed and drank. He was rough and uncouth, but before God Almighty lie was hon est. Governor Tillman made use of' several profane expressions. SII EP'PA RD'S ARtA IGNMENT. Mr. Sheppard said it was a matter of congratulation that this campaign was to be counducted within the party and asserted that the first lank of the Con servative platform centradicted the charge of H-askellism. He produced figures to prove that Tillman's Admin istrationl had heen miore extravaganit thant the precedingonies, that taxes had een inicreased arid that Tillman's promises had never beeni kept. He said ie had miade utore reconinendations in his own miessaige to the Legislature for the 'armiers' good thtan Tillman had ever done, and that Tillmtan had comn mended his message at the timie. Tilirrian had charged Orr with hay ing voted for a Republican. Three of the men wvho helpod to nominate Till man, andl tbut for whose help he would not have been nominated, attended the Republican Convention in Columbia this week amid he had employed a Re pubican. attorney to conduct his litiga tion. Tillhuan two or three times arose to interrupt Mr. Nheppard, whereupon the latter declared thbat the Governor cringc J when a soft spot was touched. The Columbia Register had stated tield Bank in lending money to influ ence votes. He proved the falsity of the assertion by Tillman men in the audience and denounced the clarge of the Register as the slander of a viper and a liar. He argued that Tillman's advocacy of a three dollar poll tax was a discrimination against the poor and scored a hit on Tilliman for his attempt toihave the lien law repealed. TIIE ATTORNEY GENERAL'S SPEECH. Attorney General McLauriii followed in a well-worded but mild speech of twenty minutes, which created no en thusiasm. ORR'S.NEAT TURN ON TILLMAN. Col. Orr spoke an hour, and appealed to reason instead of noise. Governor Til'wan had taunted him with running for ottice after he had said he wanted none. Tillman had for years said lie would not accept an office, yet he ran for a $3,500 position, and he himself for one which only yielded a per die, during the Legislature. Governor Tillman had promised to save a hundred thousand dollars a year. He had failed to do it. He had condemned extra attorneys, yet had employed more than the State had in ten years preceding. Tillman's action in the Agricultural Hall matter was all for political effect. He had voted for Judge Willard be cause Willard had recognized Hampton as Governor through an agreement with the Democrats, and would pay a political debt as well as a private one, because his honor and his politics went together. He had not opposed Sanm Johnson, a negro in Anderson, because Johnson voted for Hampton and carried eighteen hundred negroes with him. He score d Tillrnan for his arrogance in the Alliance, and for his backdown, and told him that he did not dare state his position on the Ocala demand. He condemned his dictatorial tendencies, his three dollar poll tax, his criticism of thejudiciary, and his losing the State $135,000 in the Coosaw case. His action in bringing suit was following out the advice of the previous Attorney Gen erals. HE DI)N'T KNOW ANY BETTER. Governor Tillman then inquired, why then do you blame me? "For the fool way in which you did it," was the reply. The State bonds had depreciated from 103 to 93, and Tillman had broken faith with the poor farmers in the tax extension matter. Tillman said at Greenville that he was going to write a new platform and have his boys swear the candidates for the Legislature to support its provisions. He (Col Orr) be lieved that the people would never give him (Tillman) the power. he sought. It would be better to establish Tillman dictator and abolish what would be a farce of a Legislature. Judge Tillman not by his promises, but by his works. He has done nothing for the farner, and it is well to hide be hind the farmers when he can't stand the fire. There is no antipathy what ever between the farmers and the other classes in South Carolina, and the man who undertakes to array class against class, man against man, and neighbor against neighbor is no friend to any class. THE LESSER LIGHTS. Speeches were delivered by Secretary of State Tindal, who exceeded Tillman in the bitterness of his remarks. W. Perry Murphy. H. L. Farley and W. W. Dixon. Solicitor Murphy made a strong talk, and the '-cung Conserva tive candidate for Adjutant General acquitted himself with much credit. CALLS FOR ORR. At Johnsten to-night there were :epeated calls for Orr when the train passed that station, but no time was allowed. J. D. CA MPBELL. A FIGHT TO THE FINIsH. ov. Sheppard's Answer to the Silly Re qnest for Him to Wilthdraw. EDGEFI ELD, S. C., A pril 14, '92. Editor Advertiser : In the issue of your paper of this date, appears a very temperate and respectful editorial, en titled "Advice to Governor Sheppard." You thereby, in the presence of the pc .ple of Edgefield county, advise me to "withdraw from the race" for Gov rnor of South Carolina. Permit me to say, in the presence of the same au dience, that I did not enter the race for Governor of my own accord, but was called upon by a large body of representative South Carolinians- a majority of whom were farmers-to go efore the people as a candidate for overnor, upon a platform of peace and unity in the Democratic party, which s essential to the maintenance of white supremacy, which is essential to the maintenance of good Governmwent in our State. I accepted the commission thus im posed upon me as a high and holy trust, and shall hold it sacred to my eart without the slightest regard to the consequences that may fall upon me. In bearing this message of peace to our people, 1 shall not inflict upon them a "useless, senseless and bitter conflict," but will conduct myself and the campaign so that when the re sult is known it will be a matter of pa triotic pleasure to every Democrat in the State to "close up" and march shoulder to shoulder to certain victory for the nominees of the party. You may rely upon it, Mr. Editor, that it ur~people shall "be torn into factions, arassed and distracted by the bitter ess of the canvass, and convulsed per haps by internecine strife, brother against brother, son against father," the fault will not be mine. God knows that there was "bitterness" enough in 190. Was I responsible for that? My desire and mission now is to heal the wound then inflicted, to close the breach then created, to the end that ereafter, as well as heretofore, the Democracy of South Carolina may be invincible at horue and respected abroad. I acknowledge gratefully ray in debtedness to the peeple of Edgefield ounty for the support they have given me, and for the honors they have con ferred upon me. In their presence I declare that I have never been forgetiul f their interest, un faithful to any trust they confided in me; and I obligate myself, by every consideration that is bindiing upon my conscience, so to con duct myself as to justify their confi :ence in me. Thanking you for your suggestion '-in the interest of peace and harmony,' you will permit me to ask if you sin cerely believe tnat yon are con tributing to "peace and harmony," when you refer to some of our people as "Goat Democrats," and to others as "Sheep Democrats?" Are we not all Democrats alike? Have you and I not stood shoulder to shoulder, hand in hand, in all that pertains to the honor of our State, and the welfare of our peoplet So hereafter let us stand for the honor of the State we love, and for the wel fare of the people whose destiny is our detn.Very respectfully, .3J.

If we can by repeating some of the good thiing. done or learned, impress theni upot some earnest Lsnday-school worke: it will not be amiss. It has been my privilege to attent four of these State conventions. Ti last one, just held at .arion, S. C. was the very best of all when we con sider it from the standpoint of a prac tical Sunday-school worker. The "Normal Teaching," by Rev H. M. Hamill, of Illinois, was exactly what our live teachers all over tih State need and long for. This grea leader in the work opened up to somtit of us a new line of thought, and wt trust it may tell in our action. Th young men at W'oftord College havc been often told by the President of the advantage there is in realizing low% little they knew. It is a step forward So it was at the State convention, al least with some of us. Bro. Hamill it his lessons in Old and New Testaneni history showed us how iutt.le we knewt of it, and at the same tinie we learnec how interesting is the study. 1 wisl tere had beetnr one teacher at lea't1 fron every school in New% berry Couit theire to catch the eatltuiln sifrom thi: mrster Sunday-school worker. There was another uan there. ont better known than Bro. Haimill-Wmii Reynolds-a member of the exeentiv< cotirmmittee of the international con veution. He spends ,everal month: in every year visiting State con:ven. tions. He was in good trim for li: best work this year. Our State one: him a great deal of gratitude for hi: kind, firm leadership for the past four or five years. His speeches have beet full of good, helpful stggestions. Some of our own State workers'werc present, ready to learn of the newt methods and take them home to put in practice. It is a little singular that at the lasl two conventions the number of attend ance was almost the saine. Seventeer counties were represented in each and in '91 there were 89 names enrollec and in '92 there were 92. Bro. Charles H. Carlisle, of Spartan burg, is at the head of the work in thin State. He is chairman of the Statit executive committee. Bro. Carlislc has a large furniture business to run but he believes that God calls upol him to do this work too, and be there fore greatly in earnest in the work He is superintendent of one of the bes1 Sunday-schools in the State and has helped largely to make it what it is. I do sincerely believe, brethren, thtal if we can get the Sunday-school work ers of our State to attend these Statt meetings and get the help they aflorc we will make many steps in advance of our present condition. It is wel for them to attend the County convyen tions, but best to go to both if possible For it is not possible-as yet at least to get into our County conventions what we find in the State meetings. By the resolution of the conventiot in Marion it is proposed to make an etfort to improve the State work bi employing an organizer for twelve months instead of six as heretofore it is hoped, too that we may securi an organizer who Will throw himsel into tbis "Normal work," so thati may be brought into the reach of al the teachers of our State.

I bonght a :ottle of CrTict na REso.vaieT, One b~x CrTr nIA SALVE, and one cake of CriTI IRA soAr, for my son, aged thirteen years, who has been _tilicted with eczema for a lang tm:ne. and I am pleased to say that I believe the reue dies have ctred him. His sufferings were in tense, his head :>eing nearly raw, his ears being cone except the zristle, and his body was covered with sores. His -ondition was frightful to behold. The sores have now all disappeared, his skin is healthy, eyes bri-ht, eheerfui in disposition, and is workin:- every d y.
