Any one of the dully newspa pers would doubtless like to make a great "scoop” by get ting an interview out of him tehind says that Tillman did not get any of the commissions. If John Gary Zvans made mon ey out of the bond deal it is ah surd to suppose, forma instant, that Ben Tillman did not line his pookets well with commis stone. . .Does any one suppose that Tfihnaa, the hoes, would allow hit little man John Gary Evans tonaake a pile and leave him with nothing. Ben Till man hat simply made use of Evans and^has allowed him to make hia thousands in payment for hia services, but is not in the habit of helping his ooat tail f'gfcBws to tbs biggest piece os pie. It would be interesting to hear what broaer Rhind has to say about those three drafts. Sines be has admitted that John Gary Evans has received al ready $18,000 and. there is more to come, he might as well tell the whole thing and be done with it. The people of South Carolina have heard enough now to make them anxious to know ail. Rhind can do a great service to South Caiiolina and honest government if h« will only show himself equal to the occasion and speak out all he knows. to the editor of Thb Hkvtf soliciting Us aid in the re-elec tion of John Gary 'Watte to the position of Adjutant General andfretting forth so called rea sons why Gen. Watts should be re-elected. In the first place the editor of The Nsws does not believe that either Gen. Watts or Gen. Richburg should be elected Adjutant General, and, in the second place if either of these two men are to be elected, the editor of Tbs News does not care a continen tal whicn one of them gets the position. The names of all the candi dates for State offices will be printed on the tickets for the primary election. Before de positing your ticket ia the box ruu a pencil through the names of the candidates for whom you do not care to vote. For in stance, John Gary Evans, Jo seph H. Earle and John T. Dun- ban are running for the U. S. Senate—if you want to vote for Duncan run your pencil through the names, John Gary Evans and Joaepb H. Earle. . The poles for the primary next Tuesday open at 8 o’clock in toe morning and close at four o’clock in the afternoon. - There is a good deal in what Ex-Senator J. W. Beasley says in this weeks News in regard to the candidates wno live in the territory which it is propos ed to cut off from Darlington to help make the-new county, of which Biehopville is to be the county seat. When the new county i*<ormed it is poe sible that several of Darling tons, county officers, will live within its borders, and the peo pie will be put to the expense and trouble of electing others in their places. But this is question for the people to de cide for themselves—if they chose to elect men to office in Darlington county who may soon be citizens of another county, they have only them selves to blame. ' W. W. Brace, Adj- Dablinoton News, so 'in i the State to express a preference for Duncan over Evans and Earle, most of the others sup porting either Evans or Earle aad some taking no interest one way or the other. It is gratify ing to note that the State and Spat&nburg Herald now see some merit in Duncan as against such men as Evans and Earle. The < MM) <U1U T can be urg perhaps it It will be observed that the esteemed Spartanburg Herald said, a short time ago, that Earle answered satisfactorily the questions propounded to him in the News, and otherwise seemed to be patting him at the back. But where is the esteem ed Herald now—calling for the withdrawal of Judge Earle from the race and patting Dun can on the back. The above are certainly the words of a patriot and one who places country Above party. HI some of Mr. Bryans sapporters, who think that nil democrat# should support everything label ed demoeratic when it isposi tively opposed to their ideas of what is right, would follow the example of their leader, the Pmeidentis l campaign would indeed be conducted on a high plane. Many gold men, too, who are In the habit of speak ing. of the silver men as anar chists and applying to them all sorts of abusive epithets, would do well to profit by Mr. Bryan’s sensible and statesmanlike opinion. It will be observed that the Hon. Joseph H, Earle dose not supplement Tillman these nays quite as much as he did at first ~~ 1 also says that he hap never n a reformer. J udge to ia now trying to with hie former *] ^hnwila i to elect OUT FOR "CAMeMON UAR3.' county candidates finish ed their campaign at Garner’s croes roads last Saturday. From that day until the 25th, the candidates will rest on their oars, but they will ever have to be on the alert for "campaign lies” which will doubtless float about thick and fast during the next few days. Unless voters have some good reason to know that such and snch a report u true, it is always best to turn a deaf ear to all tales which they hear from the time of the cloe ing of the campaign until elec tion day. William H. Ellerbe, who is now a candidate for Governor, has a very fair record in public life and very few objections urged against him. But would be well to men tion, by the way, that Elerbee was very much put out in 1894 because of Tillman’s endorse ment of John Gary Evans for Governor, and, as a sort of salve to his feelings, Benjamin, it is said, promised him that he should occupy the Governor’s mansion in 1896. It is the fact that the position was promised to him two years ago which worries some people. Bryan’s speech at Madison Square Garden was a strong presentation of the cause of free silver and was free from the disgusting stuff indulged in by Tillman and such ilk. It is refreshing, after reading a lot of Tillman’s rubbish about what he has done and is going to do, to toad a long speech, like the one Bryan delivered in New Yerfc, free from all allu sions to self. The free silver men could hardly have chostn a more able champion of their cause and one who is calculated to inspire more respect in his opponents. Mr. R. P. Stackhouse, of Sum ter county, in a commurication to the Register, asks if the re bate chargee preferred by Dun can against Evans are false in toto or whether any part of the chargee be true. The questions were referred to Mr. Mixon but he declined to answer. One of two things, therefore, is certain —John Gary Evans and Mixon have lied or Ben Tillman has lined his pockets with rebates. The county executive com mittee has refused to appoint managers for the primary elec tion at Palmetto because they claim the club was not organised at the time prescribed by law. The rule probably would not have beeu enforced, however, had the clab been Tillmanite. It is reported that Mr. R. L. ms, one of the candidates for sheriff, has been appointed a at Swift Creek. It is to be hoped that Mr. Base will it serve, because be against the he man If the managers of the Bryan campaign desire to do all they can towards the election of Bryan, they will utterly repu diate Ben Tillman and not al lew him to make a speech in the campaign. Such a course would cause thousands of peo pie who are now luke warm to give enthusiastic support to Bryan. The dispenser at Chester has been found about $700 short in his accounts. And thus the disgraceful work goes on. Editor, Darlington News: I beg to call the attention of the voters of Darlington county to a question that has only re cently been bronght to their at tention. The advocates of the newooonty of Bishopville are taking the preliminary steps necessary to its establishment. I am told bv those, who are in E iition to know, what they are king about that the senti ment of the people in Lamar, Cypress and Stokes Bridge townships, which constitute the territory to be cut off from Dar lingtou, is largely in favor of the new county. Under the new constitution those of us who can live outside of the pro posed territory have no voice m the matter. I have no doubt that before twelve months from today the county of Bishopville will be in actual existence. In surveying the field I find that a large number of the can didates for office io this county are from the towoshipe that are going of their own accord and by their own votes to toe new county. Three of the five for supervisor, one of the two for treasurer, one of the four for auditor, one of the five for sher iff and one of three for the House of Representatives are from this territory. The pres ent Senator is a resident of it. For no peisonal reasons, but purely from considerations of prudence and patriotism, I am opposed to the election of a single man to any office from the territory in question. Very Respectfully. J. W. Beasley. ' Table peaches, 10c per can at Coggeshall & Co’s. Where were you John Gary Evans bn the night of the 27th of June, when you returned from too Marion meeting?
