The man who seeks to array
country against town is the
worst enemy a people can have.
Ever since Ben Tillman started
on his career it has been bis
purpose to inflame the preju
dices of his followers in the
worst manner, because therein
lay his success. Bad Tillman
made his campaign in a states
man like manner, he never
would have been elected to
office, and South Carolina
would have been saved from the
evils through which she has
passed during the last six years.
But it is a mistake for the
country people to suppose that
the town people are cppoeed to
them, because the reverse is
the case. Of course the town
people cannot support Tillman
and John Gary Evans &c., but
every man is entitled to his po
litical, as well as his religious
opinions. The Editor or The
News always thought that the
masses of the people were hon
est, though mistaken in their
suppoit of Ben Tillman, and
only blames them for sticking
to him when they see plainly
enough that he has done all
classes and the State at large
harm. No man can point to a
single instance wherein the
Editor ok The News has tried
to array country against town
or clam against class—exposing
the corruption of politicians is
one thing and stirring up strife
among different classes and
conditions of the people is
another.
No, the town people have no
fight against the country peo
ple and could not possibly have
any—the interests of the too are
closely allied that the one can
not get along without the other.
Tnerefore let us stop all this
strife and allow every man the
privilige cf criticizing politi
cians without it being said that
he is fighting the town people
or the country people as the
case may be.
Mixon says that
unauthorised
make the statements which he
made about John Gary Evans '
to the end of accomplish-
this most worthy public
work may thus be briefly stat
ed:
l. Bj voluntary, unremuner-
and Tillman at Barnwell. But ated personal efforts, securing
it must be distinctly borne in
mind that Mixon has not denied
them, and thus the matter
stands. John Gary Evans says
Ben Tillman lined his pockets
with rebates and John Gary
Evans doubtless knows more
about Ben Tillman than any one
else. The whole matter is be
ing gradually sifted and the
■whole truth will come out before
a great while.
There is no doubt but that
the town of Darlington is bless
ed with fine, pure drinkiug wa
ter. If many people in this sec
tion of the State who go to sum
mer resorts a long distance
away, would come to Darling
ton and drink artesian wa
ter for a few weeks, they would
probably be greatly benefitted.
I am a great believer in Dar
lington’s artesian water and
think the day is coming when
it will be much more appreciat
ed and better advertised than it
is now.
The Charleston Evening Poet
has changed its size from an
eight column folio to a six col
umn quarto. The Post is doing
a good work for Charleston
politically and materially and
is the only really out spoken
paper in the city. It must be
refreshing to the people of the
old city to read a positive paper
and one that stands up for Char
leston against the outrages
which are heaped upon her by
Tillmanism.

Those who desire to vote for
a bond commission getter
will cast their ballots for John
Gary Evans—those who dosire
to vote for a supplement to Ben
Tillman will cast their ballots
for Joseph H. Earle—and those
who prefer a man with nothing
against him, except that he ii
a coat tail swinger, will cast
their ballots for John T. Dun
can. There is the crowd—take
your pick.
Although Saluda has only
just become a county, she al
ready one homicide to her cred
it. On the evening of August
1st, Walter Duncan and Bub
Loric k became involvtxl in a
difficulty in which the latter
was shot and killed by the for
mer.
What a great pity the new
county could not have held one
term of court without a murder
trial.
Messars. Johnson and Sellers
are doing some pretty hard
campaigning in this circuit for
the office of solicitor. Mr. Sel
lers has a horse and buggy and
drives from point to point in
the circuit, while Mr. Johnson
goes as far as he can by rail
and drives the rest of the way
Both of them spoke at Mt. (Jrog-
han in Chesterfield last Satur
day and from there they were
to go to Ashland in this count/.
Mr. Johnson drove from Mt.
Croghan to Cheraw, a distance
of 22 miles, in about four hours,
and Mr Sellers took his long
and weary road through the
country to Ashland, probably
SO or 60 miles away. Such cam
paigning is hard work in this
weather and no one can say
that the two candidates for
solicitor in this circuit do not
work to get elected.
Poor Saluda county — to
think that her people should
have given an ovation to the
little puppet, John Gary Evans.
Old mother Edgefield should
have advised her against an
act which will some day re
dound to her discredit. But
the trouble is the old woman is
a wicked old woman herself.
As the best cotton market in
the Pee Dee section of the State
and the leading tobacco market
of the State, Darlington is and
should remain one of the very
best towns in the State. Even
with low prices for cotton her
merchants will doubtless enjoy
a large trade this fall.
Two miles from Atlantic City,
a week ago t>-day, one railroad
train crashed into another just
at the point where the two
tracks cross each other, killing
more than forty people and
wounding many other* Some
mistake about the signals at the
tower house is thought to be
the cause of the accident, but it

A Movement to Rais# a Memorial Fund
With Which to Honor tha Memory of
Henry Tlmrod.
The wish has been expressed
from different parts of the State
(by ladies and gentlemen) that
an organization be effected, and
a co-operative effort made, to
secure a Memorial Fund with
which to honor the memory,
and preserve to posterity the
name and fame of Henry Tim'
rod. The undersigned have
voluntarily associated themsel
ves as a committee to initiate
such a movement, and have as-
sumed gratuitiously the labors
incident to its successful ac
complishment.
To this end, their first
thought is to ideniify every
county in South Carolina in this
K scions work, and it has been
ppily suggested that no re
presentative body of gentlemen
will more promptly and enthu
siastically take the initiative, in
contributing to the success of
such an undertaking, than the
editors of Timrod’z native State.
Certainly, nothing could be
mors appropriate than the corn
ed and earnest influence of
the Press of Sonth Carolina, in
ing tbs foundations of the
vary Tim rod Memorial,”
which will commemorate his
s&r work, and as well
to their own.
in each County a minimum of
Teh subscribing ladies and gen
tlemen, in amount f5.00 each,
to be paid November 16th, 1806
2. The receipt for each sepa
rate sum of $5.00 to be ultimate
ly exchanged for an elegant
volume of Timrod’s poems, with
his portrait. This edition will
necessarily be limited to actual
subscribers; no extra copies
will be printed. It will possess
a distinct individuality in its
type, paper binding; the only au
thentic portrait of Timrod will
be reproduced in this volume;
as the years go by its intrinsic
value will be greatly enhanced
by its rarity.
The old custom of identify-
inf? subscribers with memorial
editions of special books, by in
serting their names in the vol
ume, will be observed iu this
coming edition* Each county
will have its list of subscribers,
and every one will please write
his or her name in full, so that
the lists may be accurately
printed.
3. The. calculation of success
is based on the expectation of
co operative and gratuitous ser
vices, thus saving the publish
ers and booksellers customary
profits the memorial can be
erected. The form and cost can
only be intelligently determined
later, by the measure of success
achieved; every dollar realized
will be spent for it. To indi
cate the general scope of the
Committee’s plans, a total of
about six hundred subscribers
in and out of the State is count
ed on. The money, when paid
in, will be deposited in trust
with a responsible Bank, a
Treasurer appointed, and the
fund judiciously disbursed un
der the direction of the Com
mittee, for the purpose propos
ed; the labor of editing, pub
lishing, delivering, etc., will be
done by the undersigned with
out charge.
As soon as responses equal to
ten subscribers in each county
are advised, the undersigned
will extend this memorial pur
se beyond the borders of
nth Carolina.
In conclusion, the undersign
ed unite in requesting that you
give this communication one or
more publications in your jour
nal, and that you, jointly or
separately, unite in the early
securing of at lerst ten sub
scribers in your county, each
sinning the enclosed blank form
which please forward to Mr.
Wm. A. Courtenay, Newry P.
