ARE WE NOT KITH AND KIN ?
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.

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.

John Hicks, a well-to do

wife was the cause of the kill

strongly with Hicks.
John Henson, a white man,
was killed by unknown parties
in Greenville county on Satur

assassins were parties whom he
had reported to the United
States government for the illi

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
