“FARMER TILLMAN.”
If ■ndewtand wbat Farmer
Tillman la driving at, be la eodeav-
oriug flrHt to peraoade tbe farmers
to orgaaiie and torn regular dobs ; *
secondly, to abow them tbeneoes-
aety far an agnoaltaral college;
and thirdly to call tbeir attention
to existing abases in tbe State and
ooonty governments. He is right
wbeahearge* Hie farmer’s to or
ganise and to bold regular meet
ings. Lawyers, doctors and men
ot other callings have formed them
selves into societies snd meet at
stated periods to exchange views
aad disease snob subjects as are
calculated to advance tbeir several
interests. If these men find Ibis
profitable, bow much tbe more will
it prove so to tbe agriculturalists,
to whom an interchange of views
anil experiences and a comparison
of ideas has alwsys been of snob
advantage. .Let the
i form theee dabs, they will
nndoabtedly be benefitted there-
▲s to the second proposition, all
tY have to My is that U the farm
era want a separate agricultural
so liege, they ooght to bare it.
Mr. TUhnaa’s third object ie to
sail attention to existing abases is
ths Stats aad eoanty govermeats.
Hers, In oar opinion, hs is at fault.
His abases are not “existing," bat
>.* la spsakiag to the
lOf Dariingtoa, he telle them
ie some extravagance
i la eoanty aflairs; if by
thia statement he referred to eoun
ties ether then this one, there
i at aee in hie
ee it wookl have
of no interest to n body
Dariingtoa farmers. So, for fear
teat Darlington, by silence on onr
part, be tacladed in thia sweeping
it becomes incumbent
ns to show whether tbe state-
which has been made applies
to oar eoanty. The closest extra
will fail to show extrava
any when in. tbs manage
t of oar eoanty affairs. Dar
is the only eoanty la the
State which is tree from debt Oar
taxes are aef “almost as high as
they ware in radical
mast be rsammhered that taxes
are higher in BdgeAeld than they
are here, Mr. Tillman should ear-
tolly discriminate between the
eoanty of Dariingtoa and the conn
ty of BdgeAeld. If his “abates,
i la Bdgefleld, hs ought to stay
and look after them; they
exist here. The statement
you eaa “hardly get the coun
ty commissioners to fix the bridges,”
may be true of Bdgefleld; it does
not apply to Darlington; oar coun
ty oommissioners art all efficient
mca, aad they do their doty well.
The aadienee at Lydia knew this
to be the eaee; so that portion of
Mr. Tillman’s talk was rather col
dly received; as alec was tbe state-
amut which be-made shoot tbe
Trial Tostioes “down his way.” It
mfiy hs true that the Edgefield
Trial Jastiees “bant op all tbe little
trifling nsssnlt aad battery cases
ttwy eaa And so as to get costs,”;
it is not true as regards Darlington.
Bat one should not be surprised at
for Judges, both
aad itinerant, appear to
net qoeerly in that portion of tbe
world. Didn’t Mr. Tillman tell os
•boat a Cirooit Judge wbo allowed
tbe Cosrt preoeedings to be delay
ed la order that two men might
“go bird-banting,” f If they do
that way where be lives,
like borne,” for
*i— be
ha told as at Lydia that
make every effort to become so,
bat they are not “impoverished ”
Does tbe assertion that the farmers
heretofore in tbe Legislature were
“bobtailed,” farmers, and that the
lawyers “bad them in tbeir pock
ets,” apply to those farmers wbo
were sent from this County siuce
1876—Beasley, Caunon, Clements,
Lee, Mclver, Pettigrew and Wil-
Did any mau living ever
have one of these men in bis (sock
et 1 Can better representative
armers than they are be found in
tbe eoanty f There may have been
“bobtail” farmers in tbe Legista
tare; they did not come from Darl
ington County. Ob, no, Darling

THE EARTHQUAKE.
A boat 5 o’clock on Monday after
noon s slight shock of earthquake
was felt in Darington, Charleston,
Columbia and other parts of tbe
State, though no damage was done.
Tbe very sensitive portion of onr
community assert that they felt two
more shocks on Tuesde^—one in
tbe morning and one at night
Tbe contributions continue to
pour into Charleston; buildings are
being rapidly rebuilt and tbe noble
old city Is beginning to resume its
accustomed businesslike ap)>ear :
anus.
Notwithstanding the tael that
daring tbe pant week many ot tbe
ablest scientists of tbe day have
pronounced Wiggins, the “prophet’’
to ba an arrant bnmbug, and si
though Wiggins himself has, piece
by piece, eaten tbe whole of bis
'‘prophecy yet there are a good
many people who begin to teel ner
voua as ths night ot the 29th ap
proaobes—ths night on which Wig
gins said the great shake was to
oooor.
By th« time those of onr readers
receive the Niwfl on Thursday,
they will have realised the fact that
Wiggins, coward that he is, made
his “prophecy” for the fun of fright
ening nervous women and children.
No words of condemnation which
we could use would convey an idea
ot the ooutempt felt for tbe man
wbo baa in his breast such a mean,
cowardly heart
able to get through ithout tbe free
tuiticn. Why should the 150 who
were able to pay be educated at tbe
expense of the tax payers ot tbe
Slate f The tuition of these 150
men put. si the figures before tbe
war, 640 per anuuoi, would make
66,000, enough uiouey to pay the
board and tuition of 87 young men
Why should not that number be so
educated—the bojs thus battling
for themselvesf Many of whom
are more worthy k may be than
some who lead there a life of dissi
pation perhaps. Already have 1
taxed your patience too long.
Thanking jon for yonr kind atten
tion, I u6w give place to othere.”
Hon. Geo. W. Brown was the-
next speak er, and, after a few intro
dnetory remarks, proceeded to give
bia views on the public issues. He
said:
“Now as to a redaction of tbe
taxes. I am a tax payer aa well as
any of you. I do not want to pay
money to a governraeiit that is i ot
getting it honestly. Some people
want you to believe that the poor
people pay all tbe taxes. The Leg
islature has never been against the
farmers. Nine tenths t f the people
are farmers. Many members ot the
Legislature are far.ntrs. By join
kindness alone was I ever made
your representative.
“Yon say your tax.-s are too high
1 can tell you why that is. We are
one year behind. No taxes were
collected the year Hampton became
your Governor. Evqr since then
the Governor had to borrow money
to ran through tbe summer until
now. I am informed that no money
was borrowed this year. So you
see there i$ improvement already.
I can give you another reason for
high taxes What weald you do
with those whom God has seen fit
to deprive of their minds t Would
you put them In your poor-house at
Darlington to suffer there for no
fault of theirs f The Asylum was
found to be too small and another
had to be built. That noble sirnc-
tnro which cost 1260,000 is an hon
or to the people of your State. No
man of you wbo would go to Colum
bia and see that institution would
grudgo the money be paid to sup
port it. Now what of tbs State
House 1 voted to put that build-
iogina proper condition. There
are in it thousands of dollars in
property belonging to the State,
which would be lost but for proper
At this stage, Mr. D. H. Trailer,
tbe courteous and competent Trea-
urer ot tbe coauty made a clear and
business like statement of bis
views on the subject ol a reduc
tion of taxation to this county. He
stated that the county was oat of
debt and would sfrl tbe next fiscal
year with a little money ahead. He
saw already a brighter prospect for
us in the future.
J. E. Pettigrew being called for
came forward aud thanked tbe peo
pie tor having without solicitation
elected him as tbeir representative.
He was not now a candidate—did
not wish to bo one.
W L. King being called for also
declined to speak.
Hon. G. W. Dargan was then in
trod need and came forward amid
hearty cheers. He spoke first ot
taxation. He said that a cheap
Judicial y waa the most expensive
thing a people could bay. A poor
ly paid Judge could be bought per
haps aud wbo would suffer f The
poor man. You give your money
in taxes tor some one to serve yon.
You waut gojd service and must
give go d pay. I am opposed to
free tuition Ik the South Carolina
College. Tbe taxes are paid by tbe
property of the State aud not by in
dividuala. Tbe [toormen are tbe ones
moat betiefilUXL by tree tuition, for
they con Id get no education at al
otherwise.
Mr. Dargan then made a very
forcible argument on Natioual is
sues making tbe silver question tbe
burdeu of bis theme aud quoting
from bis able pauiplet on the aub
ject.
Mr. J. N. Parrott then spoke on
thesilver qn -ttiou, taking issue with
the last speaker and elaiming that
the policy of the President was to
blame for tbe scarcity of money
among farmers.
Here tbe meeting adjourned. The
Reporter for tbe News waa arrest
ed by Mr. Trailer and carried to
getber with others to bis bospita
ble home to rest after tbe fatigues
of tbe day. Here be waa delight
fully entertained, aud a pleasant

The TimmonsvlHe Meeting.
(R«parted for tko Nswt
When the News Reporter reach
ed Timmonsville on Saturday, Sep
tember 25, the Baud bad already
assembled and ladies were seen
wending their way to the Baptist
Church near which tbe stand bad
been erected. This meeting had
been called for tbe purpose of bear
ing tbe opinions of candidates on
the varioos questions which now
are oppermoet in tbe minds of men
Mr. Tillman, the “Moses” of tbe
farmer element, bad been invited to
speak, as be had done in Lydia; an
acoonut of which appeared in these
columns last week. Hon. Jos. H.
Earle, tbe Democratic nominee fer
Attorney General, was also expect
ed. Tbeae gentlemen did not come,
bat letters were read from them ex
plaining their absence. The speak
ing, therefore, waa upon questions
belonging entirely to tbe political
situation in the county. At the ap
pointed hoar tbe prooesgiou was
formed, with Kuker’s Band at the
head, and marched to the atand to
the inapiiing strains of music.
On the stand were seated Col. B.
W. Edwards, Hon. G. W. Dargan,
Messrs. G. W. Brown, 0.8. Nettles,
E C. Baker, J. E. Pettigrew, Dr. J.
O. Byrd and A. B. Stuckey, the
chairman of the meeting. Near at
hand were seated many ladies. Af
ter music by the Rand, A. B. Stack
ey called tbe meeting to order in a
short bat excellent address. He
then read tbe questions which were
to be disenssed, vix: Free tuition
in the South Carolina College, the
Colombia Canal, the Beneficiary
system in the Citadel, Completion
of the State House and Reduction
of Taxes in the State.
After expresaing the hope that
these questions would be fully and
freely disenssed, snd again extend
ing a welcome to those present, Mr,
Stuckey introduced Col. B. W. Ed
wards. Amid enthusiastic applause
and mosio by tbe band, t ol. Ed
wards, after an interesting introdne-
tion, proceeded tp give his views
a poo the important subjects which
the meeting bad been oalled to con
sider. He said:
“We will first disooM the Colum
bia Canal. Let ns see first if ws
are paying any money for tbe work.
If this work is being done by life
coaviots wbo cannot ns hired to ad
vantage oatsids of tbs wails, then
ths Stats sea be at no expense.
“Ia regard to yoor county ex
penses, I hflHeve that some reduc
tion msy bemade there. I will,
however, lento that question to
those who are mooh better inform
ed. In respect to free taition, my
views are too well known. Already
have they been fully expressed in
the public prints, snd to recount
them here woold be use lees. Edo-
cation should be brought to tbe
doors of the people, bat those wbo
ere able to pay for it should do so.
I am as yon know utterly opposed
to free taition in the Sooth Caroline
College. Do not anderetand me to
mj one word against that college,
lam only opposed to educating
yoang men who are
ft. Thei
men wbo are able to pay fer
9re were on the rolla of that
protection from the weather.
“At tbe last session of tbe Gen
eral Assembly I voted for a charge
of tuition in the South Carolina
College, (applause).
“Let ns see about the Constitu
tional Convention. Tbe Constitu
tion of tbe Statu has already been
passed upon by tbe courts, ami for
that reason had liest lie let alone
“Now about the Hen law. There
Is nothing to prevent a mau from
selling any property he has. He
can mortgage his crop if he choses,
under the common law. 1 would
have voted for tbe lien law. I be
lieve it has been the means of help
ing many poor men who had f.uui
lies to support. It is true it has
been abused, but that was not the
fault of the law. Get honest men
to deal with you
“I would net have voted for the
Colombia Canal when the question
was first started, bat I did vote tor
money (65,000) to buy implements
to do toe work with. Machinery
and tools had to be bought and
you might say that they were
bought with the earnings of the
Penitentiary Itself, b« cause that
meney would have been paid into
tbe treasury aud then paid out
again for tools. I do not think that
convicts should be badly treated
They should be made to « ork. That
is wbat they are sent there for.
“Only those boys who cannot ed
uuate themselves get tbe places at
the Citadel. I am in favor of that.
“Now as you have heard, I did
not oome here to speak. 1 have
answered all the questions. In
sending me to the Legislature tbe
honor was yours to confer and 1
heartily thank you for your confi
dence. (cheers, applause)
After Mr. Brown, E. C. Baker,
Esq., wbo was loudly cheered as be
was introduced next by the
chairman, excused himself from
making a speech. Being under tbe
orders of his physician he could on
ly thank his friends for their kind
reception
Letters were here read by the
chairman from persons unable to
atteud. At tbe mention of Till-
mao’s name there were three dis
tinct cheers from three different
people. Dr. J. O. Byrd waa then
introdnoed and made a speech in
which he expressed himself as in
favor ot the primary system ; and
as opposed to free taition. He took
issue with the previous speaker on
the subject of the Citadel Academy,
and gave as his opinion that the
Colombia Canal waa for tbe benefit
of Colombia. Dr. Byrd is In favor of
completing the State House, if the
State oao afford it, aud he pronoun-
eee tbe lien law to be tbe worst
corse that was ever perpetrated on
a poor people. He is opposed to a
Constitutional Convention because
he thinks it will cost too mneb, and
he urged tbe people to send the
right men to Colambia.to stop tbe
leaks. Tbe speaker insisted that
onr taxes are too high, spoke in
opposition to tree taition in the
College, and said that tbe offices of
Auditor and Treasurer should be
combined.. Hs is in favor of sav-
ing money by reducing offioes; be
thinks there are too many courts
and Trial Jnstice cases sod that

Educational Meeting at Hebron.
Mb. Editob :
A large and interested aadienee
assembled in Hebron Church on
tbe night of tbe 21st, iust. to bear
speeches on the subject of educa
tion from John T Grt-eu, Ksq., o'
Sumter aud tbe Hon. R. W, Boy<
of Darlington.
The exercises were opened with
prayer by tbe Rev. M. Mozingo,
Mr. John H. Pate, Chairman of tbe
Board of Trustees presiding, caller
on Mr J. M. Dennis, Principal
tbe Hebron Academy, who after
few preliminary remarks, introduc
ed tbe speakers in very appn pnate
and complimentary terms.
Mr. Green entertained the an
diet'ce for nearly an hour in a chaste
aud elegant address which was
received a ith marked attention and
has been very highly complimen
ted
The Hon. R. W. Boyd then pro
nounced a learned and elaborate
discussion of the whole subject,
exhibiting profound study and
investigation and occupying: tbe
attention of tbe audience for more
than two hours.
Dr. Henry D. Green being eaU-
ed in a very elegant and forcible
manner, offered tbe following reso-
lotion wbieb was uuai^nously
adopted
Resolved, That this meeting ap
preciating the elegant entertain
ment afforeded us, aud alsocongrat
nlatiugoarselves upou tbe iucreased
interest which must result from a
higher appreciation of the iai|»or

our sincere thanks to tbe Hon. R
W, Boyd and John T. Green, Esq.,
for the able, interesting aud edify
ing addresses on the subject of edu
eation pronounced by them on this
occasion.
A splendid choir under the lead
of that skillful and accomplished

The Florence Rifles.
Under their new commander,
Uapt W. J. Elgie, this company has
made a marked improvement siuee
ts recent reorganisation. Oapt
Elgie ie determined to do all in bia
power to increase the interest of
his men—wbieb, after all, is tbe se
cret of success in an undertaking of
this kind. He baa purchased two
elegant gold medals, which are now
on exhibition at Sulubacber’s, In
Florence, and which are to be
awarded to tbe two best-drilled men
in tbe Company at a contest to
take plaoe early in November. At
the receut inspection by tbe Adju-
taut-Generai, tbe Rifles had 40 men
in Hue ami presented a most credi
table appearance.
Tbe Lieatftnanta of the Company
are Messrs. W M. Brown, J. P.
McNeill and Z. T. Kershaw. After
the inspection, Gen. Bonham (with
whom, by the way, the men were
most favorably impressed) made a
short address in which be express
ed himself as much pleased with
their appearance. After the inspeo
tion the Rifles passed in review be
fore the Adjutant General and Col.
W. E. James, and then gave an ex
hibition drill for half an hoar. There
Is no doubt about it that in the
Florence Rifles and the Darlington
Hoards, Darlington County has two
military companies of whom she
may justly be proud. What a good
idea it would be, and how it wouU
add to the attractions ot the Coun
ty Fair, if tbe authorities would
arrange to get these two compauiee
together at that time for tbe pur
pose of engaging in a military par
ade aud a friendly competitive drill

The Union Meeting at the Presbyte
rian Church.
Thia meetitg which baa been in
progrew since Sunday night, Sep
teiiiber 17th, iaoneof unusual inter
cat both as regards its results, to
the present time, and the very ex
traordinary spirit of brotherly love
which has been exhibited by tbe
pastors and members ot the differ
ent churches. Tbe congregations
have been very large from the first,
aod tbe very close attention which
ia paid to tbe preaching is tbe sur
est indication ot the interest which
has been awakened. The preach
ing for the past week ban been done
by the Rev. Mr. McMannaway, of
Charlotte, N. G. His preaching is
straight-forward and simple, but ut
tbe same time full of pathos and
power. About thirty have profess
ed conversioD. aud will connect
themselves with the different
churches. The pastors of all tbe
churches have beeu untiring in
tbeir efforts, aod it is gratifying to
know that they have been crowned
with a lar^e measure of success.
Any notice of tbe meeting would
be manifestly incomplete without
some mention of tbe singing ou
which so much of tbe success of a
meeting depends. The singing has
beeu to a greet extent oouprega-
tional aud given with spirit and
understanding too, hot the eboire
of tbe different churches have occu
pied seats near tbe organ, and have
to some extent led the singiug. A
great deal of tbe saooeae of tbe mu-
tic has been owing to the uotiriug
energy of the aooomphsbed organ-
ist of tbe Methodist Gburoh, wbo
has had tbe direction of the music;
aod who has been ably seconded by
Mr, O. B. Edwards of the Baptist
Church.
Tbe congregation on Sunday was
beyond tbe capacity of tbe church,
but Col. W. B. James wss equsi to
tho emergeocy, aod with extra
chain aod benches succeeded iu
comfortably seating all wbo came.
Tbe meeting will be continued
through this week, aod all will join
in tbe wish that tbe good work may
ooutinae and that its effects msy be
permvneut
