Ti DARLINGTON HERALD W.D. WOODS, ) T. J. DREW. \ EDITORS AND PROPRIETORS. DARLINGTON, S. C. Wednesday, April 27, 1892. There was a dance at the Opera Heusc last night, but occurring just as we go to press, we will have to give the details in our next issue. We earnestly request our corres pondents to give us the news from their respective sections. Several of them after promising to keep us posted have only written once or twice. We hope our editorial friends won’t get envious at the intelligence that the editor of the Darlington News is building a house. He ought to be made to give a housewarming to the press. The man who, during a political campaign, writes abusive or denuncia tory articles, without signing his name to them, is simply lacking in fairness and deserves the contempt of all brave men. Governor Tillman, in his speech at Edgefield, repeated the blasphemous words used at Greenville. Can the Christian people of South Carolina consent for such a man to be Gov ernor of the State ? Mrs. Margaret McIntosh, the old est daughter of Col. I). G. McIntosh, a former resident of our town, will be married to-day, at Towson, Md., to Mr. W. W. Morton, of Richmond, Va. We copy our account of the Green ville meeting from the News and Courier, only omitting, for lack of, space, the numerous interruptions of; the crowd, and a few paragraphs from some of the speeches, which are not of special importance. Postmaster Gatlin fell from the' piazza of his house, on Thursday! j)ight ( and has been confined to his }>Cf] evgr sjnep.

Miss Nannie Pegues, of Cheraw, is visiting Miss Nonie Williamson. Miss Fuller, of Ninety-Six is visit ing Miss Sallie Wardlaw. Mr. and Mrs. W. F. Dargan spent a portion of last week in Marion. Mr. C. R. Woods has returned from a business trip to Nashville, Teuu. Miss Bessie Williamson, after spending. Easter at home, returned to Columbia on Monday. Miss Jennie Evans, of Florence, and her friend Miss Baer, of Vir ginia, are at Dr. Norment’s. Mr. C. A. Smith, of Timmonsville, alitor of the temperance paper, “The Broad Axe,” paid The Herald a visit on Tuesday. Major Earle has been confined to his bed for the past week or two and is still quite sick. We hope that he will soon beout again. Miss Carrie Hayncsworth, of Flor ence, accompanied by her friends, Miss Emmie Sanders, of Sumter, and Miss Merrie Vaughan, of Tumpa,Fla., spent part of last week with Mrs. H. E. P. Sanders. Mr. T. J. Drew, the Darlington delegate to the meeting of the State Convention of the Y. M. C. A., in Spartanburg, returned home on Mon day night. While in Spartanburg he was entertained, in a most hospita ble manner, at the home of Mr. D. E. Hydrick. A Good Work. Alderman Ward, who has special charge of the street department, with characteristic energy is having the channel of the creek cleared out so as to let the water run off freely after a heavy rain. This is a start in the direction of shortening the channel and adding very materially to the swiftness of the current. Wc have an abundant supply of good water, and this with perfect drainage will secure to us one of the healthiest towns in the State. Mr. C. B. Pate and Mrs. Lula P. Pate were married, at the home of the bride, on Wednesday evening, April 20th, by Rev. J. E. Rushton. The attendants were: Misses Lila Kelley, Sallie Du Bose, Eva Huggins and Lila DnBose; Messrs. C. W. Du Bose, W. L. Floyd, T. E. Muon and B. L. Harris. Major U. A. Withers and Mr. C. M. Felder, both of Augusta, were in town last week in the interests of a Building and Loan Association. Major Withers is a native of Ken- tncky and belonged to John H. Mor gan’s famous command, and gave some very interesting incidents in connection with that adventurous commander, whose exploits have made his name immortal. Miss Edna Brunson celebrated her seventh birthday on Friday by giving a reception to her little friends on that afternoon. The little misses who attended were: Misses Emmie Griffin, Marip MpCullqqgh, May Welling, Bessie Blackwell, Alleen Ward and Ixniise Parrott The little gentlemen were: Peter Griffin,Herbert Parrott and Zim llearon. The editor had the pleasure of being present and enjoying the little lady’s hospi tality. Mr. C. J. Milling will be married, af 12 o’clock to-day, to Miss Mamie Wlfildeq, of Charleston, by Rev. G. R. Brppket, D. 1}. The ceremony will take place at the residence of bride’s mother, Mrs. B. F. Whilden, after which a reception will be held. Messrs. C. W. and Claude Milling and C. R. Woods accompanied Mr. Milling. The bridal party will reach Darlington to-night and will have a reception tendered them at the residence of Dr. Willcox. Owing to the great press upon our columns we are unable, in this issue, to publish the editorial of the York Enterprise on the silver question, and a* the same time show, as we hope to do, that our contemporary is mis taken. Our readers can look for it next week, and we ask that they give the article of the Enterprise a care ful fading, written as it is by a native and former resident of Dar lington, Gen. Law, and one of the most gallant men that served his State during the war. One of our subscribers sends us a nomination for the Legislature, but we can’t publish it until |>aid for. A moments reflection will convince our friend of the justice of this, and see how imperative it is that we adhere to it. It is worth every cent we charge, Five Dollars, and even if we were able to make the announcement for nothing we can’t show any favors in this way. The nomination is an ex ccllent'one, as the gentleman named is one of the best men in the county, but we can’t make the announcement until it is paid for. A Card.

The above card should have ap peared last week, but was inadvert ently omitted. Drath of Mr. Janes T. Bristow. We regret to announce the death of Mr. James T. Bristow, which event occurred at his residence, on Broad street, at two o’clock, Monday after noon. He was born in Bennettsville on the first of June 1837, and was nearly fifty-five years old at the time of his depth* Q» the 8th of Nov, 1859, he was married to Miss Eliza beth Blackwell, who, with eight children, survives him. He was one of the first to enter the service of his State, and made a faithful soldier. Up to within a few months ago, when failing health compelled him to re linquish the position, he was Secre tary of the Darlington Manufacturing Company, and had held the jiosition ever since the Factory commenced operations. Nearly a ypay ago h c » while attending to some duty, fell from a ladder and his health steadily declined from that time, and it is very probable that this was in a large measure responsible for bis death. He was a man of generous, noble im pulses, a siiiiny,genial disposition,and his uniform courtesy made him very pleasant and agreeable in sqcjpl in tercourse. He had, fur agqud many years, lieen a consistent member of the Baptist Chnrch, and death, al though its approach was somewhat sudden, did not find him unprepared. The funeral services were conducted by Rev. John Stout, at the Baptist Church, and the interment was at Grove Hill Cemetery. The A. r. Hill MeiMeit. The following invitation has been received by Mr. E. Keith Dargau, who was for nearly three years the Adjutant of the famous Pegram Battalion of Artillery, which after Stonewall Jackson’s death was at tached to the corps of A. P. Rill, where it remained until the close of the war, taking a conspicuous part in every engagement, and al ways under the most terrible fire, fighting with dauntless courage. A. P. Hill was one of the bravest and knightliest of the galaxy of great warriors that executed the orders of that master of strategy, Ijee, and his name is indissolubly connected with all the grand triumphs of the bravest army that hasever waved its banners on a battle field. Gen. Hill was killed just a few days before the sur render, and this monument is to per petuate the record of his skill, cour age anil devotion to the cause of the South: headquarters a. r. hill MONU MENT ASSOCIATION. 602 E. Main St. Richmond, Va. April 20th, 1892. You are cordially invited to par ticipate in the ceremoney of the un veiling of the Monument to Lieuten ant General Ambrose Powell Hill, near Richmond, Va., on Monday, May 30th, 1892. The ceremonies on the occasion will be conducted by the Pegram Battalion Association. John Tyler, Prest. fontlnned From First Page. The District Fcafcrrner. This body met at Tiinnionsville last week, and bad a very pleasant and profitable session. Most of the re ports, from the different charges, were encouraging and prove that the work of the Church is being successfully carried on. The success of a meet ing of this kind depends to some ex tent, at least, on the place where it is held, and this being the case it could hardly fail to be a good one in every way, for if Timmonsville don't under stand how to entertain a religious body, then we would like to know the place that does know how to welcome the stranger to her homes. In fuel the hospitable people of that little town are never so happy or contented as when they are entertaining some kind of a meeting, and their untiring kindness in this respect is known far uud wide. Besides all this the |>eo- plc, no matter what time of the year it is, always manage to have plenty of fat chickens, and where <8 the preacher that can turn his back ou such a toothsome dish.

Two years have passed, and during his administration not a salary has been reduced nor an office abol ished, but on the contrary two new ones have been created. Did he keep his promise in that respect? There is more money now collected, being col lected and to be collected this year than for any year KTore Governor Tillman went into office. At Anderson Cpl. Earle asked him jf he would giyc a thousand dollars of lps salary tqsqmo educational pm 1 - j>qse jf he should he elected, Col, Earle obligating himself if the pro position was accepted to do the same. This Mr. Tillman declined to do. He promised to save you one hundred thousand dollars a year. Has he saved a cent? Notone. During his administration more taxes have been collected than ever before, and liecau.se the appropriations this year have not been large enough to meet the expenditures your taxes next year will be higher than this. Governor Tillman takes all the credit of the administration, and I suppose all the blame. In the Coosaw ease instead of letting the Coosaw Company go qq and mine that rock apd‘ pay {he malty of a dollar a ton as itqfffred tq'du, the Governor refused to do this, and last year lost to the State $135,- 000 which must be made up by taxa tion. This additional .burden comes from his mismanagement of the Coosaw ease. Governor Tillman tells yon that lie is in favor of a $3 poll tax. Will i that help the j>oor man? The people j now grumble because they have to 1 pay $1 and many of them find it hard to do it. [“We want tq rHIl ouri sphools ten months.”] Then do it by i taxation of the people that are able to pay for it. I am in favor of good | schools and supporting thjgn by taxa tion, but not in that way. • I believe that people should pay taxes accord ing to their ability to do so. I don’t believe in giving all the jiower in tlfc State Government tqq ^man thqugh he be as gqq^asTillMlRll thinks him self to be. 1 am opposed to having any inaii given absolute power and being made Dictator of South Caro lina. Mr Orr then referred to Mr Till man’s criticism of the judiciary of thp State, and stated that 1^ iqsleqt] of upholding [he laws qf the State |ia\l n\ade theni th c object qf his ppflfil. Th 11 Judges occupy jhuir posi tion and are^sworn to carry out the law as they understand it, just the same as Governor Tillman is sworn todo his Juty, and our rights of lib erty and of property depend upon our obedience to and enforcement of the law. Governor Tillman wants the legis lature, and such uiouas Mr. Goodwin and Mr Donaldson and others to re flect not your sentiments, but to re flect bis own. I do not believe that yon have so far forgotten your right and your manhood as to surrender your right of representation and your desire to liuvy reiKTsentativp men ael for yon in the Slate legis lature. If you have then you havp had letter abolish yqur legislature and nuiHe Tillman Dictator at mice, Because they see fit to differ from the Governor, and represent their constituents as they deem advisable, he has sought fit to call them drift wood. He has sought to have in vested in himself the |M>wer to re move the sheriffs which the people have elected, and in that manner to nullify the will of the people as ex pressed at the ballot box in their counties. Governor Til I man has liecn assert ing that Uic railroads ought to be amendment which Senator Keitt in troduced providing that the appoint ment of commissioners be given to the Governor. While, he is not re sponsible for the actions of Col Keitt, don’t you know that if he had so wished he could have secured the withdrawal of this amendment; so that at last Governor Tillman stands responsible for the failure to pass laws to regulate the railroads. Governor Tillman went through this country criticising in the most severe manner th»se who accept and ride on a free pass. He said that no man who occupied a position as a managed, and I agree with him. And why has not the lust Legisla ture passed a law with that object in view ? This driftwood legislature passed a law providing for a board of railroad commissioners to look after the railroad business, and it is not a law now because the Governor vetoed the bill. The reason, he said he vetoed it was because the selec tion of the commissioners was given to the Legislature instead of to the people. Said that he was willing to have these commissioners elected by the legislature or the people. They took him at his work and vested the selection in the legislature; therefore he vetoes the bill. At the next ses sion another bill with this object in view passed the House and would have passed the Senate, but for an State officer should have a free pass •r ride on it, because it would put him under obligations to the railroads. And yet after all this, after Gbvernor Tillman had been in office three months he had a free pass on several railroads and a frank over the express lines. Notwithstanding what Gov ernor Tillman said two years ago as to the impropriety of this action, this has been his action, and he is not en titled to your suffrage again because he has knowingly done what he had been severely criticising other people for doing. It may be a mistake. There is no doubt about that, but it is a mistake in his own favor aud against the people. TILLMAN. He said he had voted for Gover nor ,Sheppard and had tried to elect him because ho then knew no other public man in the State, and Mr. Sheppard and he were schoolmates and still remained personal friends At that time the farmers had two demands—the reorganization of the agricultural bureau and the cstablsh- ineut of an agricultural college. There were three candidates. Coker would not support the farmer’s de mands, Richardson was the candi date of the Ring, and Sheppard prom ised to support all the demands except the abolition of the Citadel, the dude factory. Mauldin and Orr arc responsible for Sheppard’s defeat The. latter defeated Orr for Speaker and Orr hates Ipni yet for it OrVI “liplq’t yon vote for Hudson, who opposed the Agricul tural College, for Lieutenant Gov ernor?” Mr. Tillman: “Yes, and MrMaul din opposed the College too!” Mr. Orn “He did not, he cast the vote that saved the College.” Mr. Tillman, continuing, and that farmers wanted to run Gen. Earle for Governor in 1888, and Mr. Orr was a member of the Convention which defeated him. That platform in front of the State House to which Mr. Sheppard had referred had cost $300 and was to accomodate six or seven thusand people who wanted to go to Columbia and see their Gov- uor inaugurated. The Governor agajn alluded to his rocks, anil IhrcaU'iied to throw one that would knock down half a dozen of the men of straw that Sheppard and Orr had erected. Mr. Tillman then read extracts from his inaugural address and his message, and denied that he aspired to be a Dictator. The Legislate, with few excep tions, was composed of strong adher ents of '['illmuii.Anyone who has not previously served in that capacity is iiicffloout until he learns the forms and is liable to la* controlled by dema* gogties. He read more extracts, and asserted that legislature had under gone a change. A man in the crowd: “Did you get u free puss?” Mr. Tillman: Yes, I got it in Jan uary. The Legislature was so busy electing a Senator that they didn’t have time to carry out proposed meas ures. The newspapers began to abuse and ridicule us. When John Irby was elected United Stages Sen ator we lost the only leader we had except myself. These men up stairs, John C. llaske.ll, leading the rest began to bamboozle those members by apjicnlmg to their iguorance and vanity until all the Administration pipasavcs were destroyed. The I .eg. islutiiro went back on their pledges and voted against me. They did not do their duty. I did call them driftwood and I rejieat it. Mr. Tillman again alluded to his rocks and said be had enough to kill all the Haskell!tes. Some of you Imte me with an inveteracy which you have no right to, ami I am obliged to strike back. 1 represent a mujorityof the white men of South Carolina. I wrote the March platform and carried it to Columbia, and felt that if I could accomplish what it con' tained I would have done you some service. I will read from the Green ville News as a witness to what I say. In the campagin two years ago Gen Earle accused me of trying to Ma- honeize the State and join the Re publicans. I told him if I was de feated I wonld support the nominee, and that the division if it came would be from the other side, and in the Haskell movement it did come. A Tillman man in the crowd at tempted to make a speech at this juncture, bnt was suppressed by vig orous applause for Wade Hampton. Mr. Tillman: I have told yon why the platform was not carried out Mr Tillman: I dare Shepperd and Orr to lead off their crowd here. If I haven’t got four men to their one I will hush and go home. I want to write a new platform, and, boys, I want you to make the candidates descuss it aud swear by the Bible to support it. They say it is an insnlt to call them driftwood. Some stood as true and loyal as I was, many did not. God forbid that l should have a Legislature who would be subservient to me rather than to y< u. If I have a drop of blood in my veins that does not beat true to the Democracy of Jefferson— the rule of the majority—I don’t know it. It had been charged that he op posed railroad legislature. The Legis lature is not fit to elect railroad com missioners; it is not fit to elect any body after they reach Columbia, lie wanted everything elected by the peo ple, from United States Senator to coroner and trial justice. Referring to his criticism of Judge Wallace in the Cantwell ease, the sjieaker said Charleston hud suffered from the most outrageous and tyran nical ring that ever existed in the State, and Cantwell was the tool of that ring, and issued bogus registra tion certificates to keep the ring in power. He feR that he ought to sus pend him until the Senate met. lie had no motive in criticising Judge Wallace, nut are these Judges in fallible? Do they never do wrong? Gen Gray announced thatMrTill- man’s time after due allowance bad been made for interrupt ions had ex pired and that the discussion had end ed. Mr Tillman, however, refused to vacate aud proceeded to still further enlighten his hearers. He said lie was opposed to the sub-treasury but was going to keep his mouth shut on the matter, as the rule of the Alliance requires that the majority shall rule, and so if they wautek the sub-treasury he wasn’t going to op pose it. Mr Tillman said he had rather go to hell with his followers than to heaven with the othercrowd. Gen. Gray again went to Governor Tillman and requested him to cease speaking, and for the second time an nounced that thc meeting had ad journed. Mr Tillman, nothing daunt ed, continued to harangue his follow ers nutil half thc audience had left the grounds. Children Cry for Pitcher's Castoria. >• For Solicitor.
