The Columbia Register is en gaged m the reprehensible work of arraying the country against the cities and towns on account of the troubles growing out of the dispensary law The Reg ister is well aware that its ef forts may have a dangerous ef fect and should stop imtaediate- ly. Public feeling is running high in this State, and has been for several years, and such in - cendiary talk as the Register deals in may lead to bloodshed. Why should not countryman and townsman live peaceably side by side ? Are we not the same people; does not the same blood course through our veins ? Are we not all South Carolin ians; have we not all one moth erf Why then should we “deal treacherously every man with his brother ?” The interests of the’country and town are identical and in terdependent. The success of the people in the one, means the success of the people in the oth er. Let us, therefore, stand to gether. We may have different political ideas, but let us be friendly. The Register and the so-called leaders it represents see their political existence in the stirring up of strife, and and this is why they want it, but we, the people, the rank and file, are the losers thereby. The cities and towns are not unfriendly towards the country and the latter should not be led to have any such feeling. The Register could recently have seen, if it had so desired, an il lustration of the friendliness that its own city, much abused Columbia, has towards the country. In Lexington county there is a little village called Gaston. Several weeks ago the negroes there rose up and threatened to destroy every thing in the neighborhood. The people around about feared that they could not cope with the in furiated negroes and asked Co lumbia, the nearest city, for as sistance. The summons reach ed the city at a late hour of the night, but before day the three military companies were ready with full ranks to go to the as sistance of the country. They did not proceed to the scene of the disturbance only because on the eve of their departure news came from Gaston that Rhe threatened trouble had passed over. The citizen soldiery of Columbia did not stop to consid er that a Tillmanite Adjutant General had called them out or that the people who wanted their assistance were country men and probably Tillman ites, but they responded promptly because the white people of the country, who are their brothers, asked for succor. Can it be that the Register is blind to this striking and so recent an illustration ? Evans, Tindal, Norris and oth ers have been discussed, but they have all been found want ing and again the net is cast about. The feeling among the Till- manites that none of these men can hold their party together is an evidence of the Ailing of the party’s strength and their ina bility to find a leader among the many “coat-tail swingers,” who nre anxious to serve their country, increases the belief that has ’jeen current for some time that his party will make Tillman run for Governor for a third time. Tillman is a candi date for the United States Sena- torship, but his election to the Governorship need not shut him off from this goal. He may be transferred from the gubernato rial chair to the Senate and the Lieutenant Governor, John Gary Evans or some such man, will then be Governor. There is no doubt but that Tillman is a necessity to his party and without him it would go to pieces. Hence we shall not be surprised to see him run for a third term and then try to go the Senate. But, whether Tillman is elected to the Senate or defeated, the disruption of h's party will soon follow, for in either event he will be re moved from active politics. It is not unreasonable then to be lieve that Tilmanism will be dead before another election fol lows even if ! t should be victo rious next year. THE BEGINNING OF THE END. Although the next State elec tion is a long way off, the poli ticians are already interesting themselves about it. Various prophesies are being advanced as to the nature, the leaders and the result of the contest. Of course it is too early for one to prophesy on this matter with any degree of certainty. There is nothing so fickle as politics and in the time between now and the election many changes may be brought about and new factors introduced which will require men to assume the lead ership who are not now regard ed even as possibilities. Among the Tillman ites espe cially does this feeling of uncer tainty prevail. They are cast ing about to find a candidate for Governor who can hoid the party together, but so far they have not been able to centre up on aman. As fast as one “coat tail swinger” is taken up he is dropped for another, each one in turn having a little boom which soon bursts. John Gary Congress convened in extra session on Monday. On Tues day Piesident Cleveland sent in his message recommending the unconditional repeal of this Sherman law. STATE NEWS.

Des Champs, a pro- inent ar ’ of Clarendon count' SUNDAY SCHOOL CONFERENCE. The Report of the Recent Annual Mae'.* ing at Hebron. [Christian Advocate.] The Darlington County Sun day School Conference conven ed at Hebron, S. C., July 18th, and held four sessions. Kev. S. J. Bethea waselectedC* 1 airman, and presided with satisfaction to the entire Conference. We had some excellent normal work by President Haynes. The report of the Committee on General State of the Sunday School is as follows: In taking a general survey of the Methodist Sunday schools of Darlington County we have reason for some encouragement, and are very much gratified at the reports presented by the delegates from the different schools. The large and regular attendance of officers and teach ers is an indication that the in terest taken in the schools in the past is not only maintained butaugmented. TheCommiitee however, would recommend in creased efforts on the part of Superintendents, teachers and scholars, in order that all, es- E icially the young, may be rought into the Sunday school fold. While the contributions are very good for school pur poses, yet there is a deficiency in regard to missions, and we would recommend special col lections for mission purposes. It is to be lamented that so few Sunday school libraries have been reported. The Committee recognizes the fact that a li brary is a necessity in every live school, which nothing else can take the place of; and, consid ering tt)e fact that pernicious, injurious and infidel works can be obtained by our young peo ple with so little cost and trou ble, they would urge upon all concerned the absolute neces sity of providing our youngpeo- ple with books of the proper moral and intellectual charac ter. We would also recommend that the schools be liberally supported with all the maga zines and lesson helps of our publication. Respectfudy submitted. J. H. Pate, R. E. Mood, J. P. Mozingo, Committee.

It is said that a farmer of Gie^nville county,named Vance, has found a lot of old coins buried valued at $500. This seems to be a straight story. A negro woman named Eva Everly, was struck and killed by lightning in Sumter county last week. She had her baby in her arms at the time, but the child was unhurt. C. P. Barrett, a lawyer of Spartanburg, who has been both a Republican and a Tillmanite, has been arrested by the United States authorities for using the mails for fraudulent purposes. Gen. A. J. Gonzales, father of the editor of the Columbia State, died in New York last week, aged 75 years. He did r service in the Cuban fights freedom and was subse quently a gallant officer of the Confederate army. John Hicks, a well-to do white citizen of Greenville county, on Wednesdav of last week, killed Jeff Reynolds, al so white. Trouble with Hicks’s wife was the cause of the kill ing and public sentiment is strongly with Hicks. John Henson, a white man, was killed by unknown parties in Greenville county on Satur day. It is supposed that his assassins were parties whom he had reported to the United States government for the illi cit manufacture of whiskey. On Thursday last a party of Tillman’s spies raided an ex barkeeper of Sumter, named Morris, who was charged with selling liquor contrary to the dispensary law. The goods that he had left over from his stock when the law went into effect were seized. The conduct of the spies excited considerable indignation among the cftixens and a riot at one time seemed imminent. A party of boys subsequently rotten egged the spies, but this was deplored by the citizens generally. Inconse quence of this, the Governor has armed his spies and given them instructions to shoot any one who interferes with them. The action of the Governor has aroused a storm of indignation throughout the State. The boys who caused the trouble have been arrested. Cholera has appeared in Italy and the ravages of the dread disease in Russia and in Asia continue at a fearful rate. For Rent.
