THE CAMPAIGN.
The State campaign has been in
operation one week. Six meetings
were held last week. They started out
again yesterday. Last week we said
nothing about it. This week we give
pretty full accounts from the six meet
ings of last week. We are a little dis
appointed at the plane upon which the
discussions are pitched. And not much
disappointed either for political discus
sions have been degenerating for some
years into simple menagerie perform
ances in which the performers exhaust
their vocabularies in the use of abuse
and villification. If it is the duty of
the candidates to make such exhibi
ns of themselves it would have been
infinitely better if the plan of having
them go before the people had never
been inaugurated for we could have
been happy under the delusion that we
had high toned and refined Christian
gentlemen in positions of honor and
trust and ruling over us, and our respect
and admiration for them would not
have been lessened. The Senatorial
contest seems to be the only one that
draws. We ask our i eaders to ponder
the speeches and see if they can find
anything in them except personal
abuse. There is no discussion of the
great questions and problems that they
will be expected to deal with, and no
remedies suggested for the ills that
affect humanity. We can see no good
but only evil to come of such discus
sions and it would be a boon to a long
suffering people if these meetings were
called off.
They began at Rock Hill last Mon
day. Gen. Butler *nd Gov. Tillman
had both said that they intended to
discuss issues and so conduct the cam
paign'as to enlighten and instruct the
people. But what do we see. It seems
that Gen. Butler had the crowd at
Rock Hill, and the next day Gov. Till
man charged that he had a corruption
fund and that the railroads were hanl
Ing around on free passes Butler boom
ers whom Tillman charged were Coxey
ites. The next day at Chester Butler
denounced the charge that he had a
corruption fund as a base slander and
false, and since then the Senatorial
speeches are simply an exchange of
ugly epithets as far as reported.
Suppose we cull a few favorite ex
pressions. Gov. Tillman abuses every
body from Cal. Caughman to Grover
Cleveland. He says Cleveland does
not want him in the Senate for, "If I
go there I will use that pitchfork in his
old fat ribs." Speaking of General
Butler he says: "I pulled down his
shirt, lifted his hide and put the salt on
him." Speaking of himself he says:
"They (his enemies) burnt the woods
and sifted the ashes and have not
caught ons louse." Of course his ad
mirers laugh and applaud. We beg
pardon for using these expressions,
even in quotations, but we only want
to show what sort of a campaign of
education we are now havin~g in South
Carolina. Gen. Butler uses such ex
piessions as "infamous liar," "slan
derer" and "scoundrel." And this is
the campaign of education! This is the
sort of stuff that the white people of
South Carolina go out to hear and tear
their throats open cheering and ap
plauding. Is it not a pitiable and a
sad and a deplorable state of things
when intelligent people make such an
exhibition of themselves. It makes
one's heart truly sad to contemplate
such things when he loves to look with
hope to the future of his race. And
what does it all amount to anyway.
There is one thing about it in this cam
paign, however, Gov. Tillman has met
a man who is his match, and who is not
afraid of him, and who is not afraid to
say what he thinks.
To our mind there is only one re
deeming feature in the campaign meet
ings that have been held so far, and
that is, there are but few persons who
are attending any of them. The peo
ple, let us hope, are beginning to realize
'that there is no money to them in going
to these meetings and splitting their
throats open. If we could have dis
cussions of questions in an honorable
and manly way by intelligent men
these meetings would be worth some
thing, but there is nothing to be gained
by going out to hear villification and
abuse.
Gen. Butler has insisted on a separate
box and a direct vote for Senator, but
Gov. Tillman does not seem to fancy
that scheme, though a direct vote of
the people is one of the demands of the
alliance and in accord with the primary
plan. The Herald and News had
favored such a plan, because in that
way we could get the Senatorial con
test somewhat separated from other
elections. If it is not desired to get the
will of the people on this question there
is still less use in making the canvas.
Better just wait and canvas the legis
lators after they are elected.
This abusive style of campaigning
was inaugurated by Gov. Tillman him
self, and was one of the great objections
that The Herald and News urged
against him several years ago. A fter
his speech at Rock Hill we had hoped
that he meant what he said, and that
henceforth in South Carolina we would
have public discussions on a high plane,
but our highest hopes are not to be re
alized. _______
Col. Ellison S. Keitt, of Enoree, will
start out on the first of July and make
speeches in every county in thbe State
on National questions. He has made
a special study of the financial question
and is prepared to meet any of
the campaigns in joint debate.
It would be a good idea for him
to join the State campaigners and
teach them something in finance.
He is a good speaker and is well in
formed. He may be in the r..ce for the
United States Senate and if he does
enter he will make it lively for both
Gen. Butler and Gov. Tililman. There
is a strong feeling among a great many
people for a new man and a good strong
man could make a winning fight. A
large portion of the good people of the
State would be,glad to lend their aid
and support to some other man. They
are not in love with either one of the
candidates or their style of campaign.
There may be opportunity for a dark
LET ALL THE PEOPLE SPEAK.
The Herald and News publishes a
letter from Dr. S. Pope on. the prelimi
nary primary plan which it gives us
pleasure to endorse. Dr. Pope is right.
It is on the line with the views ex
pressed by The Herald and News a few
weeks ago. If there is to be a prelimi
nary primary the general primary will
be a useless farce. The conservatives
have no ticket out for State officers
and this preliminary primary 1.oks
very much as if the reformers were; i
afraid to let the conservatives make a I
choice between the reformers who are';
rusuing. Such a plan may result in a 4
minority carrying a county. It is I
anothing but a rule of the majority. t
Let us illustrate what we mean. We I
will take Newberry County. Let us E
suppose there are 2,000 Democratic I
voters in the county, 1,200 of whom are I
reformers and 800 are conservatives. 1
The 1,200 go into a primary for Gover- i
nor, and 700 of them vote for John
Gary Evans a, 500 for Dr. Pope. i
Evans carries the county though he I
has only 700 of the 2,000 voters, because i
the 500 Pope voters are to be sworn, i
according to Mr. Sligh, to support this I
candidate. In the general primary i
the 800 conservatives may vote for Dr. i
Pope, but their votes will count for I
nothing because his 500 reform votes, I
having gone in the preliminary primary i
are sworn to vote for Evans. Under I
this scheme the minority may carry I
each county. Is there any justice or 1
fairness in this sort of a plan? Does it 1
get the will of the neople? Under such 4
a plan is there any reason for the con
servatives to go into the primary at all?
It looks very much as if the idea was
not to allow the conservatives to have
a voice in saying whom the nominees
shall be. Yet when the general elec
tion comes they will all be expected to
support the nominees. The same pJan
may be tried as to every officer in the
county.
A good deal has been said about peace
and harmony. If the reformers want
peace and harmdny they have the op
portunity now to secure them. Let
them be fair and maniy, and give us a
free and fair primary. Let them do l
away with the August reform conven
tion and with their reform caucusses
and reform primaries and let everybody 1
go into the canvas who wants to, and
let the people speak with their ballots
and everybody will be in position to i
support the nominees. But if the re
form conventions and reform caucusses
are to be kept up there is no telling
where it will end. The Herald and
News feels free to speak on this subject
because we have no candidate. In en
dorsing Dr. Pope's letter we have no I
personal end in view, but we do it
simply because we think it is right and
fair and just. We are glad to see. that
Dr. Pope has the courage and the man
hood to take this position, and we hope
he will keep it up to the end. And we
do not say this because we want to per
petuate the reform movement, for
really we have been unable to see where
it has benefited the people; nor because
we think there is no danger of the con
servatives getting a majority, but be
cause if we are to have a general pri
mary in which every one is to partici
pate, we should go there and fight it
out there before the people. Let it be
understood also that we are not en
dorsing the candidacy of any man, but
we only seek the good of 'he people,
and want to see fairness and justice.
If we are to have a primary let us have
one. If the reformers are to have a
primary first to say for whom reformers
must vote in the general primary then
there is no use of the general primary.
We invite expression of opinion on this
qluestion from the reformers of this
county. We want to see the best men
chosen for the positions to be filled.
Does Rev. Mr. Sligh see anything
unfair in this plan? We would like to
have his honest and sincere opinion on
it. Has he any reason to fear a direet
vote of the Democrats of Newberry
County or of the State? There is no
conservative organization or ticket that
we know of. Is he afraid of the con
servative vote in the general primary
when there are only reformers to be
voted for? If we are not mistaken he
said in the executive committee meet
ing that he wanted peace and harmony.
Does he know any better way to secure
peace and harmony tnan by doing
away with caucusses and reform con
ventions and letting every body go into
the primary and vote as he pleasee?
If he does, will he please explain it?
Does he expect peace and harmony by
forever ignoring the rights of the mi
nority and by administering iron clad
oaths to keep the majority together?
Does Mr. Sligh fear that New berry is
so very close and doubtful that only by
swearing his men in he can keep the
county in line? We hope for once to
see him rise to the stature of full man
hood and be fair and just and let us
submit this matter to the arbitration of
all the people in the general primary.
We acknowledge from Hon. W. J.
Talbert a copy of his speech in the
House of June 5 on the repeal of the 10
per cent. tax on State bank issues. Our
own Congressman Latimer never favors
The Herald and News with any of his
speeches in Congress, though we pre
sume, of course, he is making the wel
kin ring.
Col. Cal. Caughman is out for Con
gress. He says he is loaded for the
camJp.ign.t
General Butler has pleaded on every I
sump for a separate box for senator.
Somehow or other Governor Til'man t
seems to be afraid to submit to it. We
thought that was his plea for several
years. We notice, too, that he insists
on his friends requiring the candidates I
for the Legislature to take an oath to
support him.
We would be glad to see the execu
tive committee order a separate box fort
United States Senator so that we might C
dave some other issue in the primary I
'or legisla tors than a personal one. If s
2ot we are going to have the worst sort (
>f a driftwood Legislature in Columbia
2ext winter, for you are not going to
pt good men to make the race on the 'v
timple and idiotic issue of being for s

OUR LAST ISSUE.
The Herald and News gave up its,
entire space last week to the com
wencement exercises in Newberry Col-,
ege. Much of the space was given to a
publication of the addresses delivered
luring the week. They are all good
md will repay any one for a careful
-eading. They should be read and tb, n
)ut aside, for they will bear reading
tgain. They all contain many truths
vell told and a study of their senti
nents and thoughts will be helpful
md elevating. We need to have a
hange of diet for the mind oc
asionally. Our people have been
ed so much on politics and political
Lbuse for the past few years that we
iope they relished the dish The Herald
nd News gave them last week. The
>olitical discussions in this State have
een pitebed on such a low plane for
he past few years that they are any
hing but elevating or educating.
P[ey appeal to our lowest natures and
t would be infinitely better for the
)eace and prosperity of our old State
f there was not another political
neeting until our politicaus had
earned to pitch their discussions on
L higher plane. And the pity is that
nany of our newspapers are down on
bat same level and instead of being
eaders and moulders of public opinion
Lud laboring to elevate and enlighten
iumanity, they are simply camp
ollowers, spending their energies try
ng to find out what is popular and
hen whooping that up and abusing
verything else. But this is slightly
)fl the subject, but it is so true that it
s not out of place to warn the people
>f this dangerous diet they are being
riven. So dangerous is it that it
hould not be considered out of place
tnywhere to warn them against it.
The reader will remember that our
ssue la-t week contained a full ac
ount of the proceedings, up to and in
-!uding commencement day exercises.
rhe .awarding of medals, conferring of
egress and all, and still we made our
:ails on Wednesday. The Herald and
.ews is a newspaper.
A Christian college is the greatest
>oon any community can possess, for
Ls was brought out in several of the
addresses last week, Christian educa
ion is the great need of the State, and
we truly believe with the speakt rs that
;uch an education is the solution for
he problems that are confronting our
eople to-day. The great need of the
imes is greater love in the heart,
nore charity, a broadening of views
td such an education as lifts the man
yn a plane that rises above the seeking
)f purely selfish and sordid ends. The
rouble is that the country is overrun
vith and being led by narrow minded
ad selfish demagogues. This being
rue we shall always take pleasure in
iving aid and encouragement to any
ustitution that has for its object the ele
ating and bettering of humanity. Our
~ollege is worth a great deal to our com
nunity-much more than we some
.ies realize-and we feel it a duty as
well as esteem it a pleasnre, to bring
~uch institutions prominently to the
ttention of our people. In no way
~an we better do this than in giving
otne idiea of what is being done at
bhese institutions.
THEY HAVE DETERMINEB TO BE
FEREEMEN.
From all the information we have
yeen able to gather, the reformers did
amt rally to any great extent under the
allying cry issued by the Rev. J. A.
Bligh. We note that he had a second
~all last week in his organ exclusively.
5ow it may be that in consequence of
his exclusiveness not many of the re
ormers knew of it or saw it, and that,
herefore, they had forgotten about it.
HE did act ask The Herald and News
o print it or we should have done so
ih p'easure; and w.e presume that he
lso slighted the other two newspa
ers in the county.
We have heard from two clubs and
bey only elected officers and are awa1t
ng further instructions. The factory
~lub did not meet and we made special
nquiry from other sections and we do
ot think that reform clubs were
~ormed in half or even one-third of the
~ounty.
We hope it means that the people
utenid this year to be freemen and
;ote and act as they please, indepen
lent of rings and caucusses and dicta
ion from any source. We have a
yrimary in which every white person
who will take the pledge to abide the
-esult is allowed to participate and this
xclusive primary business smacks too
ruch of bossism arnd dictation and ring
rule. We say we hope thbat this indif
~erence means that the white voters of
ewberry County, zat least, have made
p their minds that they are compe
ent to vote intelligently at the general
rimary for the best men who offer
emselves and that they do not need
. be told how they must do it or be
>ossed by any one. That is a good sign.
Let it be understod, however, that
rbe Herald and News has no candi
ate and only wants to see fair play
md justice, for in this way only can
ur people be united and peace arid
yarmony be restored.
Gen. Evans has retired and with
Irawn from the race for Governor in
seorgia, and the field is left to W. Y.
atkinson. The Herald and Neiws had
bought Evans would get the nomnina
ion, and in his card of withdrawal he
urther confirms us in the belief that
e is the man who should have been
ominated. He withdraws in order
hat peace and harmony may be main
ained in the Democratic party, and
olds that allegiance is due to the Na
ional as well as thbe State Democratic
arty. He also says that differences of
pinions among the Democrats should
ot cause personal and bitter criticisms
f those of ourleaders upon whom had
ee imposed the responsibilities of
flice, nor produce factional divisions
a Democratic ranks. This is not the
tyle of candidates we have in South
~aroina.
The prohibitionists seem to be some
that at sea. If they will put up good
trong men for the Legislature in this
un ty, they can make the fight very
interesting. A great many people are
ist a little tired of voting.for measures
agardless of men. They are beginning
>want mnen.and they believe they will
ien have measures.
SPARTAN5URG AND GLENN SPINGS.
Some ten days ago I had the oppor
tunity of spending several days in
Spartanburg on business. I do not pro
pose to write an account of my trip or
any sketch of travels, but there are one
are two things that I had occasion to
observe and they are mentioned for our
mutual good, and I trust may be worth
something to our town.
One of things that impressed me was
that everybody you met had some
good word to say about Spartanburg.
Everybody seemed interested in doing
something and saying something that
would help the town. That sort of
thing of itself will not build up nor
make a great city, but it is one of the
great factors in doing so. You let every
body in a community begin to talk of
the advantages of that community and
manifest a great interest in building it
up and you will soon interest other
people and some how the town or com
munity will go forward. On the other
hand you let everybody in a town be
gin to show up the bad side, and uut
only so, but make it worse than it
really is, and you will have little trouble
in eonvincing people that it is a good
place to get away from. Spartanburg is
moving forward. There are a great
many handsome residences there and I
saw much building going on-in fact
I believe more than I bave seen in any
other town in theState outside of New
berry. There are more evidences of
progress right here in our midst to-day
than any town in the State. There have
been more buildings going up than in
any other town I have seen, and some
as handsome as in any town. Yet you
will find people right here, who have
not only made a competence, but good
money, talk as if this was the poorest
town in the State, and a good place to
leave. If you were to ask them to help
in any public enterprise, orin anything
that would bring our town forward,
you would have to show them how it
would put money in their pockets be
fore you could get them to lend a help
ing hand. Not only so, 3 ou will find
s>me who would try to throw cold
water on any advance movement. We
have a good town. There is no doubt
about that, but we want to get a litt!e
more public spirit into our men wbo
have made their fortunes here. Let us
resolve always to have a good word for
our town.
Next week the State Teachers' As
sociation will meet in Spartan burg and
there will be a military encampment.
These things will bring many people to
the city and they will help the town.
I had never been to Glenn Springs,
and so I concluded that I would run
down and spend lone night at this
famous watering place. When you get
there it is a mighty nice place, and I
felt like remaining, but what a job it is
to get there. The thing that puzzled
me was that so enterprising a people as
these Spartans seem to be had not long
ago built a dummy road, or an electric
railway, from Spartanburg to the
springs. The season had hardly opened,
still there were several persons there.
The water is known to be good and for
a quiet and retired place it must be
hard to beat. A railroad has been
graded and is being built from astat ion
on the Augusta and Spartanburg road
which will make the place much more
accessible. Thbey expected to have trains
running by the first of July. The
Messrs Simpson, who have charge of
the Springs, are very clever gentlemen
and will do all they can for the accom
modat ion of guiests. I have not seen a
place that I would rather go and spend
a month than at Glenn Springs. I left
W. H. Wallace there and could not
help wishing that I was a cnllege pro
fessor instead of a country editor, and
then, possibly, I, too, could have re
mained over for a couple of weeks and
would aot have been bothered with the
printer waiting "copy," and, most
important of all, his money on Safur
day evening. I hope I may be able to
slip off yet before the summer is over
and while away a few days at this most
delightful resort.
But it was just as hot in Spartanburg
as it is here in New berry. I could see
no difference and if there was any it
was in favor of Newberry.
E. H. A.
The appearance now is that the only
issue in the coming campaign will be
whetber you are for Tillman or Butler
for United States Senator. If that is
to be the case we had better elect one
set of representatives to go down to
Columbia and vote for Senator and
then another set who are competent
and fit to go there and make laws and
legislate for an intelligent common
wealthb. It will be a pitiable sight we
will present to the world of men as
piring to the position of law makers
who are to be tested by their allegiance
to one of two men regardless of their
fitness for the position they aspire to
fill. And yet that is about t be test we
will undertake to put. So far as we
are concerned we want to see men sent
to the Legislature and elected to fill the
various offices who are competent to
discharge the duties regardless of whbom
they are for for United States Senator.
It has been re.ported in several
papers recently that Hon. Geo. D.
Tillman would enter the race for Gov
eror, t,ut as yet no formal announce
ment of tire fact has been made by Mr.
Tillman himself and we do not believe
be is going in the race. If he should
decide to do so he would ma~ke thinogs
live ly. _________
The Herald and News does not credit
the report G. B. D. gives in bis Stock
ran D4ts about a plot being entered
into by the conservatives of that sec
tion to howl down the reform speakers
rn campaign day at Newberry. We
know those conservatives in that sec-i
ion and they are not made of the howl
ing down stuff. The Hunters, Longs,
Stocknans and other canservatives are
good men and true and if the reformers
are not prevented from speaking until
hese men do it they will be permitted
o speak until their lungs are worn out.
hey do not fight their battles with
weapons of that kind. All they will
isk is fair play and an open field.
hey are honorable men and when they
o down it will be with their face to the
memy.
It is very strange to us how easy it is
:o get rumors afloat. Without know-,
g the facts or having seen any of the
nen we must think G. B. D. is mis-1
akn.
Capt. "Bunch" McBee gave Gov.
Tillman to understand that he must
not drag the name of Mrs. MeBee into
his political barangues and the Gover
nor promised not to do so any more.
Capt. McBee was right and we con
gratulate him for putting a stop to that
sort of mudslinging.
Gen. R. N. Richbourg has an
nounced himself as a candidate for
Adjutant and Inspector General.
OPPOSED TO A REFORM CONVENTION.
Dr. Pope Comes Out Squarely for Fair
Play and Only the General Primary
Opposed to Ringt and Cliques.
To the Reform Voters of the Demo
eratic Party:-The perpetuation of the
Reform movement depends upon the
ianuer of conducting the ensuing pri
mary. Under rules of the State Primary,
emndidlates are required to get a -major
i.y of the votes cast, and if more twan
two are running for the same office and
none geta majority in the first primary,
then a second primary settles it, the
two highest in the first prirnary being
the candidates in the second. There is
no danger therefore of a conservative
getting a majority, exe-pt in those
cqunties controlled by them, which are
few in number. In other counties a
Conservative and a reformer would run
it over and the Reformers would con
centrate on the heform candidate at the
second primary.
The Reform ?xecutive committee
have orderec an intervening primary
between the Reform candidates for
Governor and Lieutenant Goveruor to
take place in August, vibich will be in
advance of some of tbe county meetings;
in s me of the c )unties it is proposed to
substitute mass meetings fora primary.
The candidates for Governor have al
ready been forestalled in some of the
counties by Reform clubs endorsing
certain candidates. This is unfair, to
say the least of it. If all the other can
didates, even those who are running
for the General Assembly which is to
elect a United States Senator, are al
lowed to submit their claims to the
general primary why not the candi
dates for Governor and Lieutenant
Governor?
The Conservatives say that they will
not run a candidate for Governor and
Lieutenant Governor, if they are al
lowed to choose one froui those running
but if not allowed to do so, that they
may not be bound by the action of the
Reform primary.
We are for peace and fair dealing; we
are opposed to rings and cliques, then
let us give them aw equal chance with
us. All white men are allowed to
part ici pate in the general primary, who
will take the oath prescribed by the
General Assembly. This is a step for
ward in the interest of p-ace and bar
mony. Then let all have a fair showing.
The Reform Executive Committee can
be called together, rescind their call
for a primary, and the State Democra
tic Committee can make the necessary
arrangements for a box at each poll for
State officers, and fix it so that those
who get the majority iu the respective
counties shall receive the vote of the
delegates from these counties to the
State Convention. All of the candi
dates are pronounced Reformers. No
advantage can procure to any one of
them over the others. I am willing to
take my chances in the primary and I
believe that the other candidates will
be wiiling also. Respectfully,
SAMPSON POPE.

THE STATE CAMPAIGN.
CONTINUED FROM FIRST PAGE
carload. Gen. Butler replied that it
was none of his business. He wanted
it put down. Then, said the Governor
you had better let the dispensary
alone.
He said that so far as Terrell was con
cerned that his position to-day with re
gard to the Alliance was the s2me as
then, and asked what about Tom Wat
son.
Oh, replied Gen. Butler, be used me
up.
Just about here Tillman said that he
did not intend to call Butler his friend
again until he apologized for what he,
had said at Chester. He made a run
Ding account of the dispensary, and
claimed that it showed a profit of $90,
000 which would be turned over to the
State as soon as the stock was turned t
loose. At Abbeville, for instance, where
the sales amountod to $29,651, the net
profits divided betweec town and coun
ty were $4,565. which was virtually
that much picked up by the county.
About this juncture he made an uu
warranted thrust at the truthfulness
of newspaper accounts.
JUMPS ON SIMONLON AGAIN.
The reason he thought Judge Sim
onton decided in favor of the btate in
the tax cases was because Simonton
feared Congress was after him with a
sharp stick, through the memorial pre
sented by him, and Simonton thought i
it best to come down from the tree.
Simonton was a simple tool of Cham
berlain, and went on the bench with- i
out objection from Butler, who knew c
of his "invasion of States' rights." But
he was of the kind his friend, Bunch S
McBee, wanted. t
Governor Tillman paid some atten- I
tion to the separate box matter, and
said that the reason Gen. Butler wanted
it was because in many counties he
coild get no one to run as legislator
for him. He was t illing for anything
the executive committee wanted. He
closed by making renew,:. promises of
what be would do for the jeople, and
ventured the prediction that he wou'd
be overwhelmingly elected Seuator.
As he wanted to get off on the spf-cial
he had to stop although his friends
wanted him to go on. He worked the
crowd up to a considerable degree of
enthusiasm and when he left everyone
else went too.
The formal anouncements were
made, and at 4 o'clock everyone had
his "goods and chattels" at the.station
ready for the trip to Camden.
THE SUMTER MEETING.
SUMTER, S. C., June 23.-Sumter
County is one of the five anti-Tillman
counties in the State, but the majority
against the reformers is less than 100.
The crowd to-day numbered about
1,000, nearly one-half of whom were ne
groes. It was a Tillman day, and all
the demonstrations were favorable to
the Governor. The speaking was fron
a platform in rear of the courthouse,
and twoor three hundred country boys
massed up against it, almost splitting
their lungs cheering Farmer Ben. The
anti-Tillmanites did not turn out in
full force, and those on hand kept very
quiet'. . 9
The majority of the crowd were for
John Gary Evans for Governor, who
spoke first. He was cheered lustily
and repeatedly, and wade a catchy
speech.
Ellerbe r.ttacked Evans vigorously.
charging that he was on the fence until
the cat jumped in Tillman's direction,
and now he hugged Tillman harder
than a young fellow would bug his girl.
He referred to Evans as his "distina
guished little cousin." Etlerbe said
that he was pleased to address "game
cocks." (Sumter people are known by
that sobriquet ) But he was a Marion
County man, a "swamp fox," and ex-1
pected to catch some of the game cocks.
Senator Btatler was received with<
slight hand-clapping. His speech dealt
with his record almost exclusively.1
He defended the Southern Senators 1
from Tillman's charges of corruption,
and complimented Voorhees and
Turpie as true Democrats.
TILLMAN GOT THE CH EERS.
Tillman was tremendously cheered
when be arose to speak. He said he
had the unpleasant task to perform of
answering Butler's insinuations made
to an audiencesin anotber county. He
reviewed his remarks about the corrup
tion fun'-1 and about the free transport a
tion of Butler boomers to -Rock Hilt,
and took a "hand primary" of 'he
crowd as to whether tbey were insult
ing. The Tillmanites by hundreds shot
up their right hands in vindication of (
his course, and only t wo men voted the
other way, the Butlerites refusing to
participate in it.
IWesley Villeneuve, a Butlerite,
standing directly in front, and below
Tillman, asked Tillman if he bad not
circulated $2,004) as a corruption fund.
"Are you drunk?" inquired Tillman,
sternly.
The man became enraged, and in
vited the Governor to come off the plat
form to settle it.
WANTED TO GET AT TILLMAN.
"Three thousand people want to
hear me speak," shouted the governor;
"shall I go off to discuss this matter
with one fool?"
Villeneuve sprang towards the stand
and attempted to climbup, but adozen
men seized him. The crowd rose to
their feet. Chairman Keels, above the
crowd, begg'ed for order. The Tillman- I
ites yelled like hyenas. The men on
the packed platform surged to the fron t,
and for a moment it seemed that the
magazine of angry passion must explode
and tiat a battle would ensue.
In the meantime Villeneuve, strug
gling like a madman, was hurried
through, the dense crowd and hustled
away.
Chairman Keels, standing on a high
table, declared that the one drunken
man was alone responsible for the trou
ble, and that the speaking must pro
ceed. The noise subaided as quickly as
it began, and Tillman continued. He
characterized Butler's conduct at Ches
ter as disgraceful, where be declared,
three or four men had been purposely
brought to precipitate a bloody riot.
"They permitted me to be cursed and
abused," he said, "but the pulsation of
my heart did not quicken, and I was
too much of a Governor to start my
fellow citizens to shooting each other
like dogs by resentinig it there-'~
THE PEOPLE PROTECT HI.
He then took another hand primary
to determine whether his course was
right, and thbe result was the same as
that of the previous one. Tillman said
that Newbold, tbe Texan, was a de
tective a' Chester working up a dis
pensary burglary case-not protecting
him. The people were always his pro
tectors, just as they had, a few minutes
before, proteeted him against the
drunken man i ho tried to kill him.
Sometimes he thought be might be
assassinated by a lunatic like Guiteau,
but the m-'an who shot would go down
with him.
The Governor alluded to Butler as
"that poor old fellow," and said if the
Senator really wanted harmony, he would
relieve the situation of what fi i:,tion there
was by withdrawing, and so escape the
humiliation of seeing every county in the
State go against him. The Governor in
sisted th4t Butle's shafts of malice did
not hurt him, asserting,that he had 'the
hide of a rhinoceros" and that it was
' impenetrable." He had lifted the Sena
tor's shirt and given him a hypodermic
injection.
HE CALLED A SHIRT A SHIRT.
A Voice-You should not say that in
the presence of ladies.
Tillman--Ladies know all about shirts.
They ;know Ihow to make them. You
are in your shirt sleeves, sir, and should
have the decency to wear your coat in the
presence of ladies.
Turning to General Butler the Gover
nor defied him to prove that he was not
Richmond and Danvil'e railro, hired
o act as his bodyguard.
Ile defended the dispensary, and took a
iand primary on the choice of the crowd
)etween it and prohibition, and also be
ween himself and Butler, in both of
,hich he wa.s sustained as before.
Tillman was applauded from the begin
iing to the end of his speech.
Butler and Tiltman.

it would surprise a goo4 many
people who live in this Town and
County to know the success I have
met with in the beginning of my
business, with Furnishing Goods.
If they knew the amount of Cash I
had taken in the first month (and
one of the dullest months of the
summer), they would then be able
to understand how new and desira
ble goods at close on to wholesale
prices are appreciated. The prices
I have put on Men's Overshirts,
White Shirt,-; Balbriggan Under
shirts and Drawers, Collars and
Cuffs, ndkerchiefs. Ties and
Scarfs, U las, Bosiery and
Gloves has bee uch below the
prices they have" aying, that
I have heard many e ons like
these: "I have been p $1.25
for Overshirt like this, on
only ask 90c." "I paid
these Wizard Cuff Holders
you only ask 10c." "$1.25 for an
Umbrella no better than the one
you offer for 75c." "$1.25 a suit
ior Underwear not as good as you.
have for 90c." "20c. for Collars
you sell at 12.c.' '40c. for Cuffs
you only ask 2.~c." This proves
that it has paid the people of New
herry for me to open my stock of
Furnishing Goods; that they know
deirable goods when they see them,
and that as soon as we stop croak
ing and go to work we will have
the best town in the State. I will
move my stock in my new store, in
the Post Office Building, soon after
July 1st, and in order to reduce
stock and have another
Fresh Supply for the New
Store, I will on Thursday,
Friday and Saturday sell all
of my Colored OvPrffirts, Laun
dried and Unlaundried above
50c. in Price, at Actual Cost.
I will leave for Philadelphia Mon

while there will pick up some new
