SHEPPARD AND THE BANKS.
The friends of Governor Till
man and tho Governor himself
have been making much ado be
cause Sheppard is president of a
bank in Edgefield. We have
never understood this hostility
to the banks, for how many
men in this State have at one

regardless of factional differen
ces,

“TOTE FAIR
The Manning Times comments
editorally upon the fact that a
prominent member of the lle-
j publican State Convention, held
| in Columbia last week, was E.
Brooks Sligh, of Chester, who
was also a member of the Hask
ell Convention of 1890, and
seems to find much sasisfaction
in it. The Times says nothing
about W. P. Russell, of Charles
ton. He was a prominent mem
her of the “Reform” Republi
can State Convention which

opened Sheppard has made sev
eral good “hits” about the
bank presidency. At the recent
Greenville meeting when asked
by someone in the audience
whether he was a bank presi

was and that many farmers in
Edgefield thanked God that he
was because he had tided them

parried the argument against
his connection with a bank in a
telling'manner. He said:
Who within the sound of my
voice can say that when he

which nominated Tillman, the
vote upon the motion that nomi
nations should be made was
very close and that the motion
was only carried by the votes of
the “Belgian block” farmers of
the Charleston delegation. One
of these “farmer” delegates
from the city of Charleston was
| this same W. P. Russell, who
| now figures so prominently in
Republican Conventions. “Tote
ir,” contemporary.
THE COUNTY CONVENTION.
The County Convention will
meet on Monday. A spirit of
conservatism prevailed in many
of the township clubs at the re
cent election for delegates, and
that we hope that this spirit will be
do it ? (Cries of carried into the convention. If
applause.) Didn t con8er vatism would alwayspre-
Whatever may be the result I sincerely trust that, as factional
will be same friend to my fellow
citizens that I have always
been.
A voice : “You are president
of a bank.”
Another voice : “We won’t
let that man have any money.”
Sheppard: Yes we will. I
will let them have as much as I
have got. (Applause.) I want
to talk to the friends of Govern
or Tillman for the benefit of the
reporter for the Register. I
want him to tell the truth when
he goes home. It has been pub
lished in his paper that I
with the money of the Edgefield
bank have been lending to the
farmers with the end that I
might be supported in this race.
A voice : “It is a lie.” (Ap
plause.)
Sheppard : I am speaking to
the friends of Governor Tillman.
Is there a man here who will
say that he ever heard me in
quire directly or indirectly how
he stood in this campaign as be
tween Tillman and myself?
(“No I” “No!”) Is there a man
here who will say that I ever
intimated that I would lend him
money if he would support me ?
(Cries of “No.”) Did you (men
tioning Tillman men by name)
ever hear me say any such
thing? (“No.”) If there is a
man here, let him say so
(“No.”) If there is a man here
let him say so. (No response,
and great applause.) I denounce
the statement as slander—the
slander of a viper, the slander
of a liar. (Cheers.) Whoever
states that I was thus influenced
knew that he was telling an un
truth, and whoever repeats it
will know that he is telling an
untruth. (Applause.
At the same meeting Col. Orr
explained the relation between
the banks and the people as fol
lows :
We are all borrowers, and in
stead of fighting banks we want
more of them, to the end that
competition may make lower
the rates we pay for our money.
(Applause.)
NO STRATEGY IN THIS.
Those who think that the
anti-Tillmanites have put up a
State ticket only as a “feint”
to draw attention from the con
test for the Legislature, hoping
thereby to capture that body, are
very much mistaken. The antis
are open in their actions. They
intend to make the contest all
along the line and wish everyone
to know it. They will present
a bold front, not depending up
on strategy for success, but up
on an appeal made “openly and
above board” to the good judg
ment of the people. The State
ticket will remain in the con
test until the end and it will
win.
As to the Legislature—we do
not deny that we hope that in
every County in the State good
men will be put forward as
candidates at the primary; nor
do we wish to draw the atten
tion of the people from this par
ticular part of the contest.
We believe that men of the
highest integrity and ability,
men who inspire tho confidence
of their respective communities,
will be candidates for the Legis
lature ct the primary and we
further believe that the people
will elect them. The people
know that it is important to
have a good Legislature and
differences were in a large meas
ure ignored in making up the
composition of the convention,
every member will forget these
differences and that the pro
ceedings will be characterized
by a desire to heal the breach,
not to widen it.

LIVES SELL FOR SBO.
The Valuation Placed Upon Men by
the Cattle Ownera.
Cheyenne, Wyo., April 22.—
If the story of A. C. Dunning,
one of the invading cattlemen
sent out to fight the rustlers is
true, a new phase has develop
ed in the border warfare which
is blood curdling in the extreme.
He says he was hired to join
the expedition by the secretary
of the State Stock Commission.
The hired assassins, he says,
were to receive $fi a day and
$50 apiece for every man killed.
At this rate, he claims, the kill
ing of Champion and Ray cost
the cattle owners over $3,000.
Dunning, who hails from
Idaho, escaped to Buffalo, where
he was arrested on suspicion,
after having been kicked about
the streets by the excited citi
zens. A letter found in his
pocket, which he had written to
a friend, told the whole story of
the scheme. The 'etter is now
in the possession of the sheriff,
together with other evidence.
Jim Dudley, alias GusGreene,
of Paris, Texas, an invader who
was wounded in the fight with
the rustlers, and who had a leg
amputated at Fort McKinney,
died Saturday and was buried at
Buffalo Sunday. The stockmen
put up $25 to pay his funeral
expenses.
Both the captured cattlemen
and their escort are expected to
arrive at Fort Fetterman to
night, where they will strike
the railroad. They have suffer
ed terrible hardships. On the
first day out a severe snow
storm set in, and for three days
the party rode in the teeth of a
blinding nor’-easter, accompan
ied with sleet and drifting snow.
The escort comprises three com
panies.
At various points along the
route armed men were seen,
and on several occasions cow
boys slipped up and with six-
shooters in their hip pockets
held consultation with some of
the captives, but not a shot was
fired and no symptoms of hostili
ty were manifested anywhere.
A scarcity of forage along the
route has used up the animals
and caused the delay.
Last night a special train from
Cheyenne arrived at Douglas,
bearing Major Egbert and 110
men from Fort Russell, with a
small hospital corps. They will
remain at Douglas until Colonel
Van Horne’s arrival. Major
Egbert with a detail of men
took a special train to Fort Fet-
terson this afternoon, to receive
the prisoners.
The captive cattlemen have
not yet been in the hands of the
civil authorities even theoreti
cally. Deputy Sheriff Roles is
with the detachment, and the
first judicial steps in what pro
mises to be a lengthy and ex
pensive, as well as famous, le
gal war, will probably take
place as soon as the invaders
are safely out of danger from
the rustlers.
FARM ECONOMY.
“John Plowman" Gives Good Advice
to Farmers.
First: Ask 99 farmers out of
100 this question : Is it not to
the interest of the farmer to
raise his own supplies and make
the farm self sustaining? and
the answer will be invariably
yes, and still in the face of such
knowledge eight tenths of the
farmers are planting large cot
ton crops and small provision
crops and buy provisions to sup-
S ort their farms, and this is
one admitting it to be a wrong
and ruinous system, in a word,
it is persisting in error know
ingly.
Second: Let me say to all my
brother farmers that farming
under such a system insures the
same ruin as it would to a man
whose capital was in money,
and his family expenses exceed
ed the interest income, and
yearly he had to draw on the
principal to support his extra
vagances, whicn would be con
suming the capital in addition
to interest. The judicious farm
er should manage his farming
interests as a good financier
would his money.
Third: The plain truth is, to
make farming profitable farm
ing farmers must return
to first principles, which is
undivided attention to their
business; live within themselves;
pay as they go, and build up
their lands by rotating crops,
plowing under vegetable matter
and have stock yards and save
all manures.
Fourth: It is necessary for
every farmer to know the rudi
ments of agricultural science;
it is necessary for him to have
a business capacity, some fore
thought and sound judgment.
If he has none of these he will
do well to hire out to somebody
who has.
Sheppard's Views When Governor.
Extract from Messagsof Gov
ernor Sheppard t» 1886: “The
S le demand the abolition of
«s offices. I have called
your attention to those with
which I think we can dispense,
without affecting the efficiency
of the whole.
“They demand strict economy
and rigid accountability in the
expenditure of public monies,
but it should not be forgotten
that it is not always the small
est expenditure that constitutes
the wisest economy.
“They demand a simple and i
business-like conduct of the af
fairs of the Government. I have
made suggestions by t' e adopt
ion of which, I believe, the ad
ministration of our affairs, State
and county, will be simplified
and improved, but in the con
sideration of appropriations it
should not be forgotten tnateffi
ciency is the great purpose to
be achieved, and from this end
our attention should not be di
verted.
“The people demand that the
burdens as well as the benefits
of government should be dis
tributed with fairness, justness
and impartiality. They demand
uniformity and simplicity in
taxation, and its distribution in
such a manner as that while all
should bear their just share of
the common burdens, those
shall contribute most who re
ceive most, and those suffer
least, who can bear least.”
A—
A Platform that Appeals to Reason.
[Pickens Sentinel;]
There is to be no abusive
epithets used by the Conserva
tives in this campaign. All the
friends of the movement are
requested to go armed with the
platform. It is a calm, sober
statement of the situation.
Those who are determined to
grant to every opponent what
we claim for ourselves—the
right to judge men and meas
ures on the facts. We give the
proceedings of the convention
and the platform adopted.
Every section of it can be easily
proved. Only those who do not
believe the statements made,
can refuse to vote with us. It
will be said that this movement
is against the farmers, because
it is against Tillman. This
must be promptly disputed
Tillman claims to be the Farm
ers’ Movement, but his claims
are not allowed, for his policy
and all the facts fly right in the
face of the claim.
Do not say anything against
the ticket until you read the
platform. If it appeals to your
reason and common sense, vote
forexponents at yourfirst oppor
tunity.
