While wo view this result with great regret, and while we honestly a n d conscientiously believe that it will be injurious to every interest, we cannot for get that there is a far greater calamity that could befall us than having Tillman to rule over us for another two years, or, for th it matter, for even twenty years more. Whoever is responsible for it, (ire, of course, think Tillman is t h e man,) there can be no doubt that a b-each has been formed in the ranks of the Democratic party in South Carolina, and that it has gradually widened and widened, until there is now very little prospect of its ever being healed. While this is to be regretted, it cannot be help ed. That there are always to be two factions in the future it seems is a necessary evil: then the party in South Carolina must be made to understand that the faction which is victor ious at the primary every two years must receive the support of the white people of the State at the general election. This is our only safe guard amid the conditions which environ us, and it is the bounden duty of every patriotic citizen to do all in his power to accomplish this end. The dose may be bad, but the preservation of the suprem acy of the white man in South Carolina demands that we “take it Ifce men.” Appreciating the strong feel ing of dissatisfaction which ex ists in our ranks, it is not at all improbable that the Republicans | will put forward a State ticket, in the hope that they may be able to win over some of the disaffected to their side. In this their labors will certainly be in vain. Ourpeople.one and all, promised at the polls on August 30 that they would sup port the nominee of the party. Tillman is that nominee, and however unfortunate they may regard this result, they are not going to open the way for re storing to power the vampires who fed upon the very life-blood of the commonwealth sixteen years ago. A RIFT IN THE CLOUD. The defeat of the Anti-Till- manites in this County last week was bad enough in all conscience, but bad as it was, it might worse. Townsend, the Republi can and scalawag, might have An old cattle in Prussia, been elected Solicitor instead of , wllich 1 was be .ng repaired, col- , , lapsed last Thursday and nine Johnson, and the total returns j workmen wer; killed, from the four counties ofjtar liugton, Marion, Marlboro and Horry indicated that he had been; but old Chesterfield, slow though her returns were in com ing in, finally rolled up a ma jority sutlicient to ensure the election of a Democrat to the office of Solicitor. It is said that this result was due to the fact that at a meeting held in Ches terfield County shortly prior to the p’imary, Johnson exhibited to the audience an old ballot which some one had saved up carefully ever since Republican days, whereon appeared the name of this same Townsend sand-wiched among those of several well-known negroes and scalawags. The Chesterfield Tillmanites can stand a good deal, but this was most too much even for them. Arising in their wrath, they calmly and quietly, though very effectually, rebuked the effrontery of Till man’s candidate for Solicitor. But this is not all that the “Anti's” havecause to be thank ful for. Of scarcely less inter est to them was the race for Clerk of the Court between W. A. Parrott and J. N. Parrott. When we think of the “close shave” we had there, it’senough to make one’s head swim. The office of Clerk of the Court is oiy? of the most important in the gift of the people, and Mr.W. A. Parrott is one of the most effi cient and capable officers Dar liugton County has ever had That he is to serve us for four years more is the source of the greatest gratification to the “Anti’s,” who labored so faith fully to accomplish this result. STATE NEWS. Gathered From Our Exchanges, And Put in Paragraphs. In the recent primary election irohibition was carried by ittle over 9,000 majority. J. L. Worthy, white, was run ny, over and killed by a train in Greenville county, on Friday. The Young Men’s Christian Association of Greenville has disbanded. Want of money is the cause. Geo. W. Murry, a Young ne gro of Sumpter county, has been nominated for Congress in the Seventh district by the Republi cans. This is the “black” dis trict, which the Republicans always have a chance of carry ing. Mr. W. C. Caldwell of Col umbia, and Mr. W. A. Wynne, of Raleigh, N. C., started from Charleston last week on a tour across the continent to San Francisco on bicycles. They expect to make the journey in eighty days. There is much talk of the Re publicans placing a State ticket in the field with ex-Judge S. W. Melton, of Columbia, for Gov ernor. Judge Melton says he will not accept the nomination. State chairman Webster states that the party will nominate a ticket. The News and Courier, with its customary enterprise, pub lished on Monday last a trade review of Charleston which made a fine showing for the old city. The business done during the past twelve moths, accord ing to thisreview, amounted to over $83,000,000. Managing Editor Bowden, of the Cotfon Plant, who is re garded as the Third party lead er in this State, says that the Third party will put out an electorial ticket for South Caro lina. Gen. Weaver, the Third party candidate for President, will, he says make several speeches in the State. On the 28th of last November a train on the South Carolina Railway was wrecked near Summerville. One man was THE THIRD PARTY. Managing Editor Bowden, of the Cotton Plant, has stated ia an interview that the Third par ty would certainly be organized in South Carolina and that a full electoral ticket would be put in the field by the 15th of the present month. Gen. John B. Weaver, the third party candidate for President, will make several speeches in the State. Who the Third party people in South Carolina are is as yet a mystery. The membership is enshrouded in secrecy. There have been but few open avow als of Third partyism and these have not been made by men of any prominence. Mr. Bowden is probably the most prominent and, as he does not amount to much, we can judge from his standard what the rest of the party is. He is the spokesman and from his utterances we gather that the party has been quietly or ganizing for sometime and that its ticket will be presented to the people in a sudden stroke ; that is, the Third party will try for a coup d'etat But the scheme wih be a dis mal failure. There is no room for a Third party in South Caro lina. The lines are strictly drawned between the Democrat-j j-ii) e( j an( j 8e veral injured. It ic or white man’s party and the has always been suspected that Republican or negro party. There i some party or parties wrecked is no half-way or middleground. A detective was put George Wil iam Curtis, a most distinguished author and states man and editor of Harper'e. Weekly, died ast week. Mis. Marga-et Rivera died in Monterey, Mexico, on Saturday, at the remarkable age of 132. Documents aie in existence that prove the dat* of her birth be yond doubt. George Feeiner, of Steuben ville, Ohio, diichargedaservent on Thursday. The enraged ser vant thereupon killed Feeiner, the latter’s w fe and mother-in- law and then killed himself. Besides ch dera threatening this country, there is fear of yellow fever. Several persons afflicted with yellow fever were brought to lew Orleans last week in a vessel from Havana. On Friday the daughter of John Valley, who lives near Bardstown, Ky., had a difficulty with her step mother. The girl took a doubl ;barrel shot gun and blew her step-mother’s head off. At San Pie-res, Ind., on Fri day, Nichola i Oeriarty had a quarrel witn his wife who knocked him down with an axe. She then held him down while his daughter stabbed him to death with a mtcher knife. The switchi aen on a railroad in New Orlea is went out on a strike. Other men were em ployed to t ike their places. Last week a battle took place between the strikers and the new men. O le of the former and four of tl e latter were shot. Several of thi wounded will die. The Asiatic cholera is still destroying pe >ple by the thou sands in Europe.

P The Third party would divide the white vote and this would mean the return of the negro to power, which the white men of South Carolina will not permit. They prefer to remain in the to work and he found evidence sufficient to have two negroes arrested for the crime on Satur day. and enjoy Democratic party white supremacy. The Third party people are reckoning without their hosts. Nearly ninety thousand votes were cast in the recent Demo cratic primary and this is the full white vote of the State. All who participated in the pri mary are p’eded to remain faith ful to the Democracy and so they will. The Th.rd parlyites cannot expect to get aay of i votes, and we should like ask from whence do they ex- reir votes to come? Items of GENERAL NEWS. Interest From All Over The World.
