We are truly glad to see this, and The Herald and News gives the movement its heartiest sup port. It is a step that should have been taken long ago by our humane men, but better late than never. We know there are enough apostles of Burgh to carry on the movement to a success and that there is enough nobil ity of sentiment among our peoplegen erally to sustain them in their under taking. There have been cases of cruelty to animals in this town that should have been punished. We hope to see heartless and cruel offenders of this 'haracter henceforth speedily and severely called to account. Don't de lay, but let the good work go on; give it your warm and earnest support; strike while the iron is hot, and let it have the ring of the right metal.

But Dr. Pope declined peremptorily some time since, and recently Col. Norris positively declined to run. This action upon the part of these, gentle men, who, by the way, are in every way worthy of this or any other office, reflects credit upon their heads as well as hearts. They are well aware of the injustice of turning a man out of Con gress after serving only one term and hence, they absolutely refuse to be a party to such a scheme. Besides, they both know, as every body else does that the Hon. Geo. Johnstone is in fulf ac cord with the demands of the Farmers' Movement, and is standing on that platform with both feet. His election is as sure as fate.

Powder rELY PURE A HOT DAY AT WHITMIRES. Small Crowd but Good Order-County Chairman Blesse Refuses to Intro duce Dr. McIntosh but the Crowd Calls for Him. The regular county campaign meet ing for No. 4 Township was held at Vhitmires. It was appointed foi Cromer's Store, but that was called in and the meeting was held last Friday at Whitmires. This is on the extreme edge of the township and very near the Laurens and Union lines, and as a con .equence there was a good sprinkling of Laurens and Union voters present al the meeting. The meeting was held in a littlE group of pines within the corporatE limits of the town, and the sun shonE through the pine-needles with all it force. A wagon was improvised as a stand, and some persons said it was a Shep hord wagon, but it seemed to hold ul the Tillman speakers with equal gract and ease as it did the Sheppard men. ] might remark in passing that all thos who desire to be with the people-thal is the majority of the people in New berry County-had better hasten them selves upon the Sheppard wagon, be fore all the good seats and even stand ing room is occupied. The tide it running in that direction and, by the 30th of August, all the boys will be ir line and a great big majority will be rolled up for the restoration of peace and harmony among the Democrat of Newberry County, and the disturb ing elements in our politics will be relegated to t.he rear. I was surprised to find so many Sheppard ment in No. 4 Township. I should not say sur prised either, knowing the good people of that section, but it was different from what I had heard. There were only about 150 persont present with a majority of Tillmar men possibly, but if the Laureus an Union contingents had been taken oul there would have been a pretty equa: division of forces. There was a base ball game in the afternoon between the Whitmires auc Santuc nines, and there is no doubt that a game of this kind can get uI more enthusiasm than a political meet. ing. It was so on this octasioo. TbE game was called after four innings when the score stood 21 to 40 in favor of Santuc. HON. GEO. S. MOWER. The speaking began about 11 o'clock and the first speaker was Hon. Geo. S Mewer, a candidate for the State Sen ate. He spoke of the subject of taxa tion and showed from the record thal the gr V t burden in this line cam( from t Federal government in the shape of an indirect tax, which .wai five times greater than the State and county taxes. He thought taxatior should be limited to the necessities el government,economically and honestly administered. The only plan to re duce our State tax was to refund oui State debt at a lower rate of inter est. He was also in favor of educatior and of Clemson College as he had al ways been. There was no telling the loss to the 800 or 1,000 young men wh< had been knocking. for admission tc this institution since last February when it was promised the college should open. It was a great misfor tune that the college - did not open, though he did not criticize any one. He was in favor of the common school and thought that the property of the country should bear the burden of the tax for the support of them. ME. J. A. SLIGH. The next speaker was the Rev. J. A. Sligh, a candidate for delegate to thE State convention on the Tillmar ticket. He said some people needed one kind of talk and some anothei kind, and he did notknow just what tt talk about, but he wanted to talk or those things that would be of the most advantage to the people; The questior is what is, best for the people and whal wilt restore harmony among the people We wanted inore money of the right kind and more people of the righi kind, and in our.Democratic primaries we wanted free speech, a free balloi and the rule of the majority. He thought the Alliance doctrine was right, but the Alliance did .not want cheap money as had been accused. HE did not mean that the bill known ai the subtreasury in its details was the thing wanted, but the principles of thE subtreasury were right. The people of South Carolina are too much governed by prejudice. We need a thrifty and a industrious population that wilt makE this country blossom like the rose. I. he had his way he would put a thrifty intelligent and industrious populatior in that section of the county. In hi, section, the lower part of the county, he would leave it as it is for they havE already a thrifty, intelligent and in dustrous white people, who own theim own homes. He believed in free speech u free ballot and the rule of the majori ty among Democrats. Is the Democ racy threatened in this gountry? HavE you not heard of the Third party? Il a man lives on yo'lr place and is undel obligations to you, don't deprive himo: free speech and the right to vote as hE pleases. I am here as one of the Till man electors. It is not Tillman the opposition is after. It is not the met but the measures they represent. Il Sheppard occupied the position that Tilman does, the Sheppard men now would be fighting Sheppard. Speak ing to the ladies present Mr. Sligh saic that he was proud of the stand he hac taken for the Winthrop Traininj School. He was also proud of the fac1 that N. G. (%nzales, the then corre spondent of the News and Courier, and now editor of The State, had shaker his hand and congratulated him or the speech he made in favor of th~ Winthrop School. Mr. Sligh though the politicians were the bane of thi country. I did not hear the other speeches ex cept in broken doses and will not un dertake a synopsis. Speeches wer made by Messrs. Johnistone. Miller Blease and Wilson, cau.didates for the Legislature; and Sease and Hill. DR. .TAMES M'INTOSIH. Just before the close of the meeting calls were made for Dr. James McIn tosh, but Mr. H. H. Blease as count3 chairman refused to introduce Dr McIntosh and adjourned the meeting The crowd did not disperse, however and the calls for Dr. McIntosh weri renewed and he responded without in troduction and was given a most at tentive and interesting hearing. He said he had come to speak it place of Mr. Goggans, one of the elec tors on the Sheppard ticket. TherE was one point to which he desired tc direct their attention, and that was the sale of the State lands. He had been told by Col. Gibbes, in the'Secretary oI State's office, that during the past fif teen months 350,000 acres of this land had been sold in South Carolina by the Sinking Fund Commission, and that on the first of August 30.000 acres were sold. He said that he had examined the Register, the News and Courier, the Greenville News and The State and had failed to see any advertise ment of this land and it-had not been properly advertised. Mr. Gibbes said that after the sale the 1st of August, they would sell no more land until late in the fall and then have it better ad vertised than they had done. Does any of you know when that land was sold or where one acre of it is? You, as citizens of South Carolina, own that land and it has been sold without your knowledge. And most of it sold from 15 to 20 cents an aere. If any of it was ever appraised I have not been able to find out when, or where, or how. This land was sold in the months of June. July and August, when the law does not permit administrators and execu tors to sell land at this. season of the year. I don't say this land is worth ten cents, or fifty cents, or $1.00, or $5.0 pne acre,- r Ihave never seen an acre of it and know personally nothing about it. It has been represented to me as good timber land-good cypress swamp land-swamp land-pasture land and marsh land accordingly as i" was located. But whatever the land may have been worth-the mode of selling was wrong, and I do say it has not been properly sold. Not sold as a set of business men would have sold land. Not sold as executors or admin istrators would have sold estate land. No man's land should be sold without his knowing it. Who in this assembly has ever seen a notice of sale of one acre of this 30.000 acres sold August 1, 1892; or of this 350,000 acres sold pre viously? Not one of us, and the whole State is in as great ignorance as we are on this matter. Our land-your land and my land-we all own it-is gone it has been sold from under our feet and we know nothing at all about it. This land is under the supervision of the Sinking Fund Commission, which is composed of the Governor, Attorney-General, Comproller-General, Secretary of State, the Chairman of the Ways and Means Committee in the House and of the Judiciary Committee of the Senate. The points that Dr. McIntosh made were in brief these: 1st. This land had never been ap praised before it was put on the mar ket, as is done by the United States and all the States that have State land to s;ll: and it should have been witb drawn from sale if it did not bring the appraised price. 2. This .land had not been properly advertised and sold so as to realize its full value. 3. If, as has been said by Mr. Gibbes, these lands were sold to get them back on the .tax lists, what does it amount to to sell 1,000 acres of land at 15 cents an acre-only $150, and the tax on that would be say only $1.50. The State sacrifices her land and when it is put on the tax list, the taxes at last amount to nothing and the State loses her land and gets no return. Dr. McIntosh said he wanted Gov. Tillman to explain it. He was only stating facts as he had received them from the Secretary of State's office in Columbia. There were several questions and a good many interruptions during the speech. It was evident that this was a new and unexpected issue and no one present seemed prepared to meet it or to answer it. COUNTY CHAIRMAN H. H. BLEASE was called for and mounted again the Sheppard wagon, but did not reply to Dr. McIntosh further than to say that it was a very remarkable thing to him that Dr. McIntosh would get in his buggy and ride eighteen miles simply to say that some few thousand acres of State land had been sold. He thought it was better to ?ell it at a low price and get it on the tax books, than to let it stand as it has been and pay no taxes to the State: He then talked about Richardson's administra tion being in debt and Sheppard's bank charging 10 per cent. At the conclu sion of this the crowd repaird to the base ball ground and gave vent to their enthusiasm by applauding for their favorite men. There were quite a number of ladies present at the meeting and every thing passed off serenely. Messrs. Fant and McCarley served a .good barbecue dinner. Whitmires has not grown any since my last visit, but when the new bridge that is now being constructed across the Enoree by Mr. J. L.

Candidates are very plentiful. Indeed, it is the best turnout we have had at any meet ing. Speeches were made by Messrs. Jno. T. Duncan, W. D. Hardy, J. M. John stone, L. P. Miller, Jno. W. Scott, Jno. C. Wilson and Cole. L. Blease, and Messrs. Mower and Sligh, and T. S. 1 Sease. Col. Walter H. Hunt, Jr., was called to represent Geo. B. Cromer on the con servative ticket. The Rev. J. A. Sligh had the reply. Besides these, very prominent was citizen "Snib" Ruff, also a good little crowd from No. 10. In short, this was a very political meeting. While there was plenty of life and stir in the crowd -the very best of order prevailed. The two factions were well represented. In fact these are the best fighting grounds in the county. The speeches were good, yet nothing new. Nothing out of the common run. The only noticeable feature is that the Tillmanite speakers make it an em phatic point to draw the lines sharp and deep. Also, to their shame, some of them delight to criticise and censure Wade Hampton. But to the people's honor these taunts always fall flat. The meeting was held in the grove at Mr. Thos. W. Keitt's, a grand place for such an occasion. To add to its beauty, the weather was "perfectly grand." Col. J. C. S. Brown acted as chair man and presided with justice and ease until Chairman Blease arrived. Thirty minutes are allowed to every speaker. The meeting ended with considerable enthusiasm over the speeches of Col. Hunt and Rev. Sligb. As the sun was near setting we adjourned to meet again to-morrow at Mt. Pleasant, No.3 To,vnship. THE MEETING AT MT. PLEASANT. MT. PLEASANT, August 4. "In such a night as this, When the sweet wind did gently kiss the trees,1 And they did make no- noise-in such a night." Ah, well. I'm not talking of the night alto gether. You may brag of nice people, good treatment if you want to, but I can tell you once for all time to come, that you won't find a place like Mr. Albert Gibson's every day in the week. To say that we enjoyed ourselves would be to say very little. With reluctance we departed, and here we are. It is a beautiful place. The grand old oaks knit their mighty branches together into one powerful mass. Assembled here are about 100 ladies. Sweet ladies too, for they all brought baskets and we had a grand old picnic dinner. Chairman Blease called the meeting to order and made some very appro priate remarks in glowing terms. He introduced Messrs. Geo; S. Mower, W. D. Hardy, J. M. Johnstone, L. P. Mil ler, Jno. W. Scott, Cole. L. Blease, Jno. T. Duncan and T. S. Sease. The best of attention was accorded these speakers. There was only one or two interruptions by a prominent "sinart Aleck." On the grounds Tillman was repre sented by Job Hughey and Sheppard by P. Clark Smith. CoL Beitt put in some good time. And "Snib" is here, too. Everything passed off withoutscial event. The meeting was adjourned, and everybody turned homeward and to wards Whitmire. AN OFF MEETING AT POMARIA.

NEW roNw.7.. e ~A~AA~~' P'INTS FROM PINETOP. Once more! Did you ever see the like of so many iewspapers? "What do you want to start another >aper for?" said Ben Franklin to liis >rother Jim. "There are already three n the United States." That was over a hundred years ago. There are 27,000 now-counting our >wn Herald and News. What will Bennie say to Jimmie beu he hears this? How can a man attend to business Lnd listen to his wife and play with he baby and read all the papers? How does he manage to keep up with everything-and iive? I like to read mysel'-and something lse besides politics. But I do not have the time to do his and attend the barbecues and Irink in the speeches of the dear can lidates. I wish there were only a few papers nd they contained the concentrated Lnd combined extract and essence of tll the news and intelligence of the ;lobe. Then a fellow could succeed in fully ceeping abreast of the times. But if he were to attempt to keep up with everything now he would hardly iave time to eat and sleep. He'd have to sell his old clothes for ags, burn green and sobby pjte in the winter, huddle up in the smoke on a old and rainy day by the mewing and lea-bitten. cat and sit beside the wet mnd hungry dog. [N. B.-Have you ever tried that? Dog my cats, but I've been there. Babies.yelling all around you at the saine time. Oh, it's nice.] I like to keep posted as near as possi le, but I also like to go fishing in the ummer time and see Manager Mc iaughrin's boys play ball in trout of fr. Wilson's handsome residence And eat cherry pie and peach pre serves and jam-be jamued if I don't. Why a dude wouldn't have the time o go see his best girl and admire the atest fashions and feast on the taste of ier style, you know. What would Solomon say about ooks and newspapers now? If he.were living in these days and ;imes I don't think he would have as nuch sense as they say he had in his eneration. (Not if he read the State and the Register everyday and Sunday too and yelieved what they said all the way hrough). And neither would the late lamented Fob have had the exalted reputation that is now paid to his memory. The only man of this or that dispen ation who could sustain his reputation iow would be Ananias. And he could do very well withoul the aid of Sapphira if he lived in New ;erry during an election year. But to proceed. By the time one gets through dail with Queen Victoria and the Prince of Wales, the Czar of Russia and his dy amiters, the Emperor of Germany mnd his labor strikers, the President of the French Republic and his commu aists, and with all the uneasy heads of Europe that wear a crown; And comes over to America and bat tles with free coinage and the Pinker. tons and our anarehists; And then comes down into Soutt arolina and tackles the State cam paign, to say nothing of Newberry pol itics, I tell you, Mr. Chairman, He has his hands full. And by the time he reaches Pinetol ind goes to bed, after having tried it ain to keep up with the procession with the thermometer 97 and a half ii the shade, he goes to sleep and has the nightmare and cramp colic in his weary miL d; "nature's sweet restorer balmy sleep," is turned into troublei ireams; his alleged brain is tired tot ad tosses in the heat-all jumbled U] in one unintelligible, unrecognizable impenetrable mass and mess IRinging in his'very ears Tillmnan and Sheppard, banks ani rairoads,- corporation and labor, Coo iaw and Clemson, News and Couriei ad Greenville News, State and Begis er, Irby and -Dibble, Gantt this ani Gonzales. that, lie and no lie, Cleve land, Cleveland, Cleveland, third par ty, who said it? prove it, name th man, take it back, you're another, ol phaw! $3 pole cat, edubcational qualifi cation, caucus, caucus. caucus, Johi Smith-lumber-and-Duncan, etc., ec etc., until those o'f us who Are 110t quite fit subjects for the unatic asylum, don't exactly know What would be the best thing to de under the circumstances for the goo< of the country.
