Secretary of Slate Tindal has written a letter in reply to an invi tation to a mass meeting at Abbe ville, in which he exp.‘esses his strong opposition to the plan of nominating the candidates, for State offices, by a convention, and claims that a convention always gives birth to ring rule, opposition to which, from his standpoint, was one of the causes that led to the Reform move ment Whenever onr Charleston and Oo- iunil i» contemporaries have a little spurn time they amnse themselves by working np hotel projects that never materialize and probably never will. The capitalists of these two cities are very anxious to have some fine modern hotels provided somebody »lse will famish the money to build ♦hem. Bothplaces,especiallyCharles- ton, are amply able to build their own winter hotels, but lack the pub lic spirit and enterprise necessary to tarry ont what would be of incalcu lable advantage to all classes of their citizens. if Goyernor Tillman would make as much effort to apprehend mur- den ra ai he does to enforce the Dis pensary law, it would be of lasting ing benefit to the peace and good name of the State. To judge by his acts the concluaion would be ineyit- able that be regarded a violation of the Dispensary law as a more serious •Sense than the taking of a human life. The murder or lynching of a poor white or colored man is a very smalj matter, but don’t try to keep a a blind-tiger and thereby interfere with the great moral reform that is being carried on by that truly benificent institution, the Dispensary. It is very much to the credit of Congressman McLanrin that he has fallen nnder the displeasure of the Piedmont Headlight, which paper never loses *n opportunity of giving him a dig in the ribs. If the thing was reversed and Mr. Gannt was giving Mr. McLanrin praise instead •f abase, we would very reasonably conclude that he had been doing something wrong which it was our duty to f vrret ont and criticise him for. The traoble with Mr. Gantt is thst he has no ase for a man that cannot trace hi# lineage, in an unbroken line, hack to Annanias, and who does not keep np the reputation of the family. The fight for Governor Tillman’s shoes has begun and there will be a lively scramble for this much covet ed prize. As far as we can gather it will be practically a fight between John Gary Evans and J. E. Tindal, bnt it must not be understood that there are not a good many others wfio think they not only have the necessary qualifications but deserve the place on wicount of services ren dered the Reform movement. The impression prevails in some quarters that Gov. Tollman will stand for a third term, with John Gary Evans ts Lieutenant Governor, and after the election try and be elected to the U. 8. Senate, leaving Evans to fill the office of governor. It is very ear tain that he can carry ths design ent if he wishes, for there is net the slightest chance for Butler in the noe for Senator, and the position is 1 Tillman’s if he cares for it, which f he very much docs. The &<nster Freeman wants toe women to sxy if they wish to vo’e, i " •’ * " ‘ bnt insists that it ought to be a secret ballot. We would like for our contemporary to explain the neces sity of a secret ballot. If they wish to vote and it is best for them to do so, w hy shonld they be ashamed to express their honest convictions and in this way proclaim them to the world. The fact of the business is that any intelligent fair minded per son who gives the subject proper thought will very readily perceive that this much landed right, as some call it, would be the worst thing for the women that could possibly hap pen. All the talk about their puri fying politics and setting things straight generally, if they could rote, is simple nonsense, for the reason that they would then lose all the influence for good that they now possess. In view of Gov. Tillman’s declara tion that he would not hesitate to break down the doors of private houses or smash trunks that he sus pected of containing whiskey, what becomes of the statement made by his organ that the Dispensary law did not give the right to search houses? The Governor, when he made this threat, which he lacks the courage and power to carry out, was probably, to use his own language, only blowing and trying to make the impression that he has unlimited power. In making this statement he flatly contradicts the one made sometime ago in which he said that the searching of private houses was never contemplated. We suggest that when he puts his spies at this kind of work that they be heavily armored with bullet-proof steel plates, and also have accident insurance policies, for it is very certain that the very first time they attempt to break into the house of any reputa ble self-respecting man, that de structive weapon, the unloaded shot fyin, will take a hand in the busi ness. A STRINGER TO MODESTF. Whatever of other virtues Mr. John Gary Evans may possess, he is au utter stranger to anything like modesty, as the following extract, from his own paper, the Aiken Times, will show. This in reference to his speech at Abbeville: It makes an Aiken man with the least patriotism and pride in his soul feel pnud of the glorious tri umph made by Aiken’s favorite son, John Gary Evamt His speech was the ablest that be has ever made and ranks with the best ever made in po litical circles since the war. His eloquence, logic, aggressive ness and earnest defense of his peo ple completely captured the large crowd. The defense of the Dispensary law, the attack on the Wall street domination of politics, the exposure of che rotten financial system, the eloquent defense of the Reform par ty and the powerful plea for the unity of the people in their fight for the Alliance, and his devotion to the Ocala principles were told in a matchless, convincing, unanswerable manner. ABE TRET ASLEEP OR WHIPPED! As the political campaign has open-, ed, it occnrs to ns that it is about tinu for the prohibitionists, unless they have given np their cause on account of the splendid temperance work that is being accomplished by the Dispensaries, to get to work and make their much-boasted numerical n ’ority accomplish somell ing. If, however, they can’t show any better resnlts in the present than in the last campaign, tiny are acting wisely to keep quiet and not furnish the Legislature another opportunity to treat them with contempt and en tirely disregard their wishes. We have never known a movement in- angurated under such favorable aus pices and that had such an appar ently large following to end in such miserable failure. The prohibitionists, by their silence haye practically acquiesced in the Dispensary abomination and haye no reason to complain at the criticism which snch inconsistency is sure to provoke. Th^prcsent campaign fur nishes them a splendid opportunity to redeem themselves from the charge of inconsistency, and the question is will they take advantage of it Giye liberally of your time and talent to the help of your fellow men and your life, though it be not crowned with material wealth, will have been more successful and happy than it conld possibly be by devotion to selfish ends.—Sumter Freeman. A noble sentiment well expressed. Capt James Callison, of Edge- field, widely known us the “Duke of Slmtterfield,” dropped dead at his home last Tuesday. Heart failure is supposed to have been the cause of his death. POTATOES AS STOCK FEED. Tery Nourishing aid Fattening for Work Miles. As the time is near at hand for planting potatoes we again call at tention to their valne as stock food. For some years Mr. W. G. Hinson, of James Island, one of the best far mers in (he State, had been feed ing his work mules on potato meal and finds it not only cheap but very nourishing and fattening. Chancellor Johnson, of Marion, and Col. Woodward, of Fairfield, both large and successful plan ters speaks in very high terms of its valne, and such testimony us this should convince the most skeptical of the importance of at least an ex periment with this prolific and easily raised crop. Itis well known that land that will make twenty or twenty-five bushels of corn per acre will easily produce ^several hundred bushels of potatoes, and that too with no more work. When the summer is dry the corn crop is cut short, but it is just the reyerse with the potato which always does better when there is not much rain. The potatoes can be easily sliced, dried and then convert ed into coarse meal, and when this is done they will keep as well as corn. A tobacco barn would furnish ex cellent facilities for drying them and those who do not plant tobacco could {>nt np a barn, at small cost, just for this purpose. Col. Wood ward estimates that three bnshels dried will make one bnshel of meal which is equal to the same measure of corn. The best results from feed ing it are obtained by making the ration about one-fourth or one-fifth corn meal, which prevents any ten dency to clogging in the throat of the animal. When it is considered that it takes all the way from' four to twenty acres of land to make suf ficient feed for a horse, while the same result can be obtained from one or two acres of potatoes, it needs no argument to show the superior economy of planting the potato and the great saving in land and labor. The corn crop was badly injured by the severe storm last Angnst, and the damage was so great as to force many who nsnully make an abun dance of feed to buy it this year. This expense would have been ob viated if each farmer had had several acres planted in potatoes, for the storm would not have injured them in the slightest degree. Anything that will stop the buying of corn by onr farmers will close np a big leak and be a blessing to the whole State. We urgently beg that this sugges tion may bo heeded and that some of onr progressive farmers may be in duced to give the matter a trial. It is almost needless to say that cows and hogs greedily devour the potato meal and rapidly take on fat while they are fed on it. NEWS CONDENSED IN FORM.
