We litall give the arg ??en t Jue? week/ mad the argument for the other side. ji W a mort pathetic and touching appeal for peace made by Sumter's gen fri ?nd wily member of the State Es .cative Committee. He wants peace? ls feet, he mast have it at any price. We abo desire peace, and we also say, *ay God help os to do oar duty, bot we cannot see that it is our dnty to cover wp a wrong, or to aid io securing, a so culled, peace by the sacrifice of right aod justice. The Khedive of Egypt is dead. Grippe and'the ignorance of his physi? cian caused his death. When be was ia a dying condition several European physicians were sent for, but it was too ? late to save him. He was given large ; cf morphine, when it is said his condition required stimulants. His aaccessor will be installed without dis torrance.* Ia another column will be found an article from the pen of Col. Ellison Keitt, in which Governor Tillman and hts administration is bitterly assailed. Wb*t Col. Keitt says has the power of truth and fact to re-inforce it, and it ssas* cause "brave Ben1' a feel tag of uneasiness when so ardent a sup? porter of the "reform movement" as Col. Keitt comes out so strongly against hi;a. Grover Cleveland'e speech on the an ?rrersary of the Battle of New Orleans baa attracted more attention than any ceeurreace within sever?! months. AU fte leading papers of the country unite ?a commending it as ?? effort full of strength and sound oom mon-sen se de. - ?eeraey. Io it he laid down the mles aad1 principles that govern the party of to-day, and if the party will but ad? here to these principles it will be what it has been in the past, the party of the people. Certainly "every old_ granny knows that the best way to heal a wound is to pat a bandage on it" after the proper treatment has been applied- Even an v old granny ia the last stages of decrept ed dotage would not attempt to beal a wound by bandaging it without first removing the poisoning canker i m beded to it. ? true surgeon first removes the cause.Jeven if the knife must be used ?unspairing?y and the citadel of life itself almost sapped to do so, thea the healing ointments are applied and the wound se co rely bandaged. There were two errors in the testi? mony of W. H. Epperson published last {week, for which we are not re? sponsible. Our report being made direct!y from the coroner's notes. The evidence stated that Mr. Epperson said that Kingman and Burkett left the saloon first and that Norris went out about five minutes after, whereas Mr. Eppsrsou said that Norris left the saloon first; also that Mr. Epperson said te Burkett that he, Burkett, bad killed ?se man, instead of that he, Burkett, had been the cause of the death of one mao. A^e Colombia Stale to-day gives spate items charged against, "repairs, improvement, insurance, and lighting cati ve Mansion. " There are a bai!: dozen charges for flowers, flower seed and flower pots, aggregating $49 25; joggling board, dish pans, lounge and chairs, comb?, pictures, etc., amounting in all to ?511 51 up to Sept. 3d,'1891.' This is ali very interesting, but we should like to see % comparative statement of the same accounts during the terms of bis predecessors. By com? parisons we can arrive at correct con - erosions. ONE FACT. *T?s only the ignorant bigot and bully wbo, wjil.offeosive?y insist upon forcing on ?fters their peculiar ideas of men and things. -H. R. Thomas. This is trae. Mr. Thomas has cer? tainly given expression to one indispu? table fact. Ee is a bully and a bigot who attempts io force another to accept his own peculiar ideas concerning any man or thing. Still Mr. Thomas does not hesitate to attempt that very iden-1 tieal thing himself. He wishes a large j somber of the most intelligent people of this county to discard their own opin? ions concerning certain political events ?a this county, and accept the opinions of himself, that are directly opposed to those they now entertain. He says they .most, for the sake of peace and har? mony, cease to believe that the division of clubs previous to the last campaign was a fraud perpetrated (winked at by some and openly advised by others) for the sole purpose of obtaining represen? tationin the county convokion to which ! numbers did not entitle them to; cease to lemember the fraud perpetrated by j the smashing of thc Rafting Creek bal- j lot boxe?; cease to remember the fraud committed when the returns were; changed after being placed io the office of the Secretary of State. There are other wrong? just as grievous that were com? mitted against the Democrats known as Straightouts, which we could mention, bat we forbear. Against this what does he propose} to do? Forgive them for being opposed to him. He will do all this. Forgive them for not believing as he did con? cerning Tillman and his coat-tail swing? ers, forgive and forget that there were some who thoaght that voting by proxy was aktQ to fraud. Now this paper has ever been trae to the princi? ples of the Democracy and will ever be true to those principles, which are founded on truth,honesty and justice. In the lastcampain, although bitterly op? posed to Tillman, as every one knows, we supported him after he was nomi? nated, as we believed bim to be choice of the msjority of the Democrats of the State. But we have never be? lieved that Tillman, or his representa? tives in this county, could command a majority of tbs Democratic votes, and we never shall believe it, until it has been settled by a fair contest in a primary election. The primaries of last .year proved nothing, and a correct conclusion cannot be reached from them. We want peace and harmony, and say, let us have it, but not wy one fac? tion forcing the other to accept its opin? ion of men and measures. We want peaee, and ssy let us have it, but not by the Straightouts giving up everything. Let the matter be settled by a primary ; and then whichever side is victorious will receive this paper's support, and we will be the first to say peace and harmony, for then we will be satisfied that it is just and right. Then we will say pat the bandage on the wound, for the canker will have been removed. B?SXXVIS. That soaring bir^b.therwise the Bish opville Eag^^nttcs a few remarks.for ia- its last issue. See said jother column. Sphere was something wrong mebody connected with the or the futile attempt to confioe in fetters of prose the ringing rhyme of that Christmas toast would 'never have been made- So it was caused by things incident to Christmas week ? W6 are real sorry our reply was taken so much to heart, and wc now find that in attempting to paraphrase a verse of Scott's Lady of the Lake to fit the case, that we made an error, and at the same time seem to have exactly hit the nail on the head. * * * Tossed bis beamed frontlet to tbe sky ; A moment gazed adowa tbe dale, A moment snuffed thc tainted yxle. * *" The other naragranh which seems to grate upon the sensibilities of the new editor of the Eagh, more than any other, contained two errors that were not discovered until too late to be cor? rected. One was the omission jof Mr. before the name of Mr. Wf-A. Jitnes, Jr , and the other the substitution of the word. position for profession. We would not have, had rue omission to occur for a 'great" deal,- and called the attention of toe proof, reader to the error as soon as discover^ and re? marked that the Eagles editor was just the man to construe it as au intentional slight. Now, 3/r. Eagle drop down from the lofty attitude, whither you have soared, a pardon for an omission that was unin? tentional and regretted. " The Watchman and Southron and all connected with it from the devil np, will ase the utmost care not to omit, when speaking of the editor of the Eagle, the title that Thomas Jefferson objected to having applied to himself. OTJB STKEETS AGAIN. Mud, mush, slush, bottomless pits of blaok and unmitigated mack, pools of foul and turbid dirt, acres of sticky and ?limy sediment-such are the character? istic features of our thoroughfares at this present writing Every man who swears, or has ever sworn, or has in him the incipient germs, the protoplas? mic atoms of a swearer, is tempted now to lead the air with forcible exple? tives on the subject of the streets and sidewalks. Even the gentler sex to whom swearing is au unknown art, feel rising within their perturbed besoms a violent protest against the condition of the things under foot, and judging by the frowns upon their fair brows, it is evident that the inherited instincts de? rived from male progenitors who were proficient ia the art of using profane language, seek expression, when they gsze upon a street crossing, or trip gin? gerly aroutid a paddle on the sidewalk. Ducks and geese find themselves ?D their native element anywhere and everywhere in the city limits, and were it not too cold, ?he boys would have no | need to go to Green Swamp for a bath. I This may be putting ir. a infle to<j > strongly, perhaps, Lut i here is no need of exaggeration in this matter-the facts cannot bo over stated. What we want and what everybody wants, is to have that election for the issuing of ?100,000 of bonds for city j improvements, held as soon as possible. Since it will take months to make read j even after the bonds are voted for, we do not soe any cause for further delay iu arranging the preliminaries. Let the election be advertised ! TO OUK CO?tI? S3 POI?DENTS. Our regular correspondents will please observe four things when writ? ing : give all news, personal, social, political and religious that you can ob- j tain in your neighborhood ; make your j paragraphs short and pointed ; do uot ! moralize and do not give expression to I political views. If you wish to express ! your political views at any time, our J columns are open to you if you will put j your views io the form of a commui i- j cation. Never incorporate such opinions ? in your regular correspondence. PURPOSE OF A CHARIT ABL i ASSOCIATION. The organized effort made durin Christmas week ia behalf of the poe of the city was so successful, and mc with so liberal a response that the prc moters of the movement and all COD oeeted with it, concluded that the or ganization of a permanent associadot would be feasible. We understood, s the time, that steps would be taken im mediately to perfect the organization but up to this time we are not informet of any such organization having beei made. The Advance has persistent! and feelingly urged chat the Charitabl Association be formed at once, and w suppose that with customary persevet ance will continue its advocacy. We are in favor of the movement anc so expressed ourselves when it was firs spoken of. There is abundant argu ment for the organization of a chants ble association based upon the soundes reason. In every city where charitabl associations have been established th results have been most satisfactory The whole system of alms-giving ha been revolutionized. The profess iona beggar has been done away with, be oause the charitable associations mab it a rule to investigate every case be fore bestowing alms. It is the provine of the associations to aid deserving per sons and to free the community of th parisitical impostors who make it a busi ness to solicit alms. We trust an asso tion will be organized speedily, ant whatever we can do to bring about tb* organization will be done heartily ant gladly. Since the above was written a cal for a meeting to be held in the Couri Rouse on next Wednesday evening ha been handed us. The call is published in another column. Mr. L I, Parrott the chairman of the Christmas Com mittee, makes the call, and as he ha done more than any other single man to promote the organization, ace is thoroughly interested in the move? ment, will he, as bas been suggestec before, a most suitable head for the As sociation wheo formed. Col. Ellison Seltt on Tillman. EKOREE PLANTATION, S. C. Jan. I, '92 To the Editor of the Daily News : The condition of the people is deplor able and is rapidly growing worse On one side we are threatened witt financial disaster. On the other dema? gogues, in their greed for ofice, art "blowing" the flames of sectional and factional hate. Intelligent and virtuous men alone can. say?? ,us>' No heed Should be gi'ven to unclean men-they ive the lepers of society, ana" bring dis? aster and ruin. Five years ago B. Tx. Tillman made his appearance before the public as the advocate of an agricultural and mechani? cal college, which was ""necessary to place the farmers on an equality with other classes and on the road to pros? perity. The farmers met in convention iu Columbia in ApriU.1885 under his leadership f<T the1 purpose of taking steps lo establUb such a college. Till? man declared he wanted no o?cc-that ali he desired was to be a trustee of such an instirutipn. The writer was a mem? ber of ther'cp.uventiou and was in full sympathy with the movement, as he alwa^fea^ .beet*and is with everything lookioj^ftifc -the advancement of the agricultural Interest. The convention had not adjourned thirty days before the press of the State aunounced as a fact that Tillman sold out the farmer's movement to Dawson. When the State convention met in the summer, Tillman heid a caucus of the farmers' movement delegates and tried to get them to vote for Sheppard, a lawyer, Dawson's candidate, against Richardson, a farmer. As Tillman had been taking delight in abusing lawyers, his course was conclusive with many that what the press stated was true that he had sold us out to Dawson. The writer lost confidence in him and reluctantly consented in lS90to support him. Ile did not do so until he was as? sured Tillman was an Alliaoceman and after he heard him speak at Newberry, where, among other things, he made the following pledges, not one which he has kept. He said : "If you elect me governor, the first message I send to the Legislature I will ask them to reduce the salaries of all the State officers." Earle said : "But you will be elected and they can't reduce yours." Tillman replied : "I don't care if they do." Did he send that message to the Legis? lature ? No. Why cot ? Was he "blowing?" He said : "Fellow-citizensyou know nothing about your State government. You have been ruled by aristocrats since the days of the Lords Proprietors. If you elect me Governor I will ask the Legislature io print 10,000 copies of the comptroller general's report and ? will send them all over the State, and you wiil then known what is being done." Did he make this request of the Legis? lature ? No. Whas excuse has he for failing to do so ? Was he "blowing V He said : "Pellew citizens if you oiect mo Governor I will save you I ?100,000 " Was he hi-wing? How ! nov,- F fand matt terr? Iri^f'.-nd of saving { the Hu'e ?100 OOO bo has lost tho j b?a?e, ?!;e first year of his administra- ! tion, near g 1,000,OOO. ile has put us I ?;u the do.wo grille. Malters are seri- ! nus and tinder his administration they j ?ro growing worse very fast. By his j bad management of :ho phosphate iutcr- ! pst trio estimate is he wiil have lost the State ?108 000 on royalty at the end of thc ?<c.-i) year March '92. When he went into office the bonds of the State were at a premium of about 5 per ceut. Now they are worth only niuet.y-three cents on the dollar, liy their deprecia? tion he has lost the St tte about $700, 000. Tho public debt, amounting to millions of dollars, is due next year and will have to be paid or refunded. Georgia refunded her do hr. at per cjnt. and ours ought tobo refunded for t h 3 same or less. The si^ns are a Tillman ! administration cannot refund it except : ai a high interest, if at all. Capita:-I ists h.?. vo no confidence in an ad minis-1 tration headed hy a man who recently j said, "? did a great deal <-f blowing ! last summer. I don't recollect ali I j said." Blowers never inspire c.;:.;li- i dence in anybody. When the legislature, realizing the scarcity of money and the straits to which the people arc reduced, extended the time for the payment of texes to thc 29th of Februay, Tillman refused to ' ipprcve it. Ile is in a soft place* Be :ias feathered his nest and cares not a stiver now for the people, only for their votes, ile saw very differently when be had uo gloves. In the campaign of 1800 Tillman de? nounced all who received free passes on railroads as bribe-takers, aud sat 1 they were "tamed v He must have bee? "blowing."' It. is alieged that he rode on free pass No. * 1, and the railroads and express companies carried every? thing free for him, and he has not de? nied it. By bis silence he picad? guiltv. The Legislature fixed him OD the free pass business- He has to pay now like ether people when he rides on the cars ; hence his abuse of the mem? bers of the Legislature. He is mad. He calls for a Legislature ot henchmen to execute his orders. As the execu? tive, if ii3 can, he will seize ali the powers of the other departments of the government and use them for his OWQ benefit. His ambition has crazed him. He aspires to be a Palatine. Popular government with such men in oSce cannot long snrvive. In his speech this year in vilification and abuse, he surpassed even what he said in 18S0 when he swung round the circle. Then he was plain B. R. Tillman. Now he is chief magistrate of the State. Farmers of the State, what do you think of our governor whom we elected ? I own I am ashamed I voted for him and will never do it again. He has deieived us inteotionally and badly and has proven himself to be a fraud. Tillman, realizing he. has not made good a single pledge be gave us during the campaign of 1890, that he brought great pecuniary loss upon the State, that his administration has been a fail? ure and the people feel and know it is, now trying to fasten the blame on the legislature. Farmers, merchants, business men, citizens, all, let us come together. Let ail of our efforts be for the common j good and general welfare. Our once proud old State sorely needs the services : of every good and loyal citizen if our Christian civilization and homes are redeemed and saved from the vile. Let every one to his duty to God and his j country. Banish all persona! prefer? ences. Let every communi'y be closely scanned and men, clean, capable and loyal to principle alone, be selected and j elected to office. Elect them whther j they want thc ?-?Bce or not, and tell ! them they must serve. If this is done ? all will be well-the State will be re deemed and saved, the people ag3<n j united and happy and Tillman quietly j laid away with eight following his politi- | cal corpse to its last resting place-six j pall bearers and two mourners, Irby and Shell. Respectfully, ELLISON S. KEITT, "Watchman and Soutbron. Owing to the hurry, and other things incident to Christmas week, and a change of management besides, the printer made this scribbler's rhynie ap? pear as prose, and tho phraseology of the little toast was also changed some? what. What wc intended to convey was that the "Eagle" soared above such trifles, and worked solely for the best interest of the masses, and also to remind the Watchman and Southron, which \<* as good a Democrat as the State of South Carolioa holds, that its policy might bc a little loo nagging. And lo ! what have we in return from the old vet. Here it is, personal comparison is made, and our paper is compared to the stinking, filthy, loathsome; scavenger, commonly called the buzzard. In reply we would beg to say that never before have we seen such in print, but on a few occasions have heard women compare each other to all man? ner of nameless tilings, both animate and inanimate during a plantation scrap. We will beg thc furber indulgence of the editor of the Watchman and South? ron, by th inking him for reminding us in his article noticing the change in the "Eagle" management, that the editor of this paper ia not worthy of having the commonest style of compliment pre? fixed to his name. And also we can assure him that it was not surprising at ali, for only a few years have pas?ed|?ince WP 'occupied r.nd plied with manly vigor the humble posi? tion of a fi?ld hand at ^10.00 per month, so therefore we have no grounds whatever for becoming "huffed" at his pointed discourtesy.-Bishop ville Eagle.

Not only has the literary ?nd artistic excellence been n;ain tained c:?rl increased, but a corrcspondim: gain has Leen made ic the sale and influence of the Magazine. At tbs end cf 130! the cir? culation has risen to more than 140.0?0. It may justly be promised that the further ira provenants for the vear will be proportion ale to these largely increased opportunities. FOR NEXT YEAR. it is not possible to give, in a brief apace, an account of all the features in preparation, bot the material is d?ficient in neither impor? tance nor runge of subject. Among thc sub? jects treated : THE POOR IN THE WORLD'S GREAT CITIES. It is proposed to publish a series of arti? cles upon a scale not before attempted, giving the results of special study and work among: the poor of the great cities. The plan will include an account of the conditions of life in those cities (in many lands) where the re? sults of research will be helpful for purposes of comparison as well as for their own intrin? sic interest. Whiie, from a scientific point of view, the articles will be a contribution of pr^at importance, the treatment will be thoroughly popular, and the elaborate illus? trations will serve to make the presentation of the subject vivid as well as pictr.reeque.
