wTBD?XSDAY, MARCH 23, '92? The Sage pf Enoree Write* of Tillman and the Credit of the State. To the Editor of The Ilerald and Kew* : Tillman, the first year of bis ?tiniiTiTnintirn, has seriously impaired inc credit oUhe State, as the follow lng beta show : Tbe bonded debt of the State doe Joly, 1893, according to tbe re po it of tbe Comptroller-General, sobmitted tn tbe last General Assembly, .mounts to $5,952,916 20. These bonds mo3t be paid or refunded on or before July, 1893. The time for do lag it is near at band. When Till? man wa? inaugurated tbe bonds of tbe State commanded a premium of .bofl ^ per cent. What is the con MoWf W.T. C. Bates, State Treasurer, in bis last report to the General Assembly, says : From tbe Statements or exhibits given in this report, an idea can be found of the condition of tbe financial affairs of tbe Stats. No one can say that they are in an **emiaently satisfactory condition." An investigation clearly shows tkt* they are tn an eminently unsatis? factory condition. The State Treas? urer, ?peaking of tue act of tbe Gen? era} Assembly authorizing the refund? ing of the bonds, saya: "I complied with io8tiactions given me in tbe act, ?nd bad proper notices inserted in newspapers, 1 also biid circulars and copies of the act printed, and notices ?ven that they could be had upon application by partie 3 desiring infor? mation, and have sent out a large Bamber of copies. Copies of the cir? calata and notices are furnished with this report. I also bad prepared with much care the necessary books in which *o record all transactions under ?i?e refund io g act, and d apl i t. uttfi of these books for the offices of | tbe Governor and Secretary of State. An agreement was entered into with tbe American Banknote Company to tbe necessary plates and to tbe bond and stock certifi I needed." The Treasurer goes on and tells os be ordered and pa?4for ba?dreds of thousanda of ] bonds and stock certificates, ile .JV* be bas been able to exchange only $29,369.10 of new four per . for an equal amount of Brown Gcneob. ile acknowledges be bas foiled to refund the debt at 4 per cent. Georgia refunded ber debt at $ per cent, lt is clear a Tillman ad ?r??stration cxttroot refund ii at all. Tb? above mets are taken from tbe report of tl,e Comptroller-General, a book Tillman promised us two years ago be would tak the Legislature to pri?t ten thousand copies, and would distribute teeta among tbe people tbetibey m?gbfc know what is being like ail hfs other promises, be failed to keep. . People who have pnjfljr to invest have no confidence fa such an administration-one that but. never performs. We la tbe bands of a gang of trading lead by Tillman, who celed .out tbs offices. They promised any and everything to be and Jxalfided none-. They MO any and everything to a. They have no care for us. Want Is to feather their nests a good time. They have crec??t of tbe Stale. They reatened u* with tbe breaking ap of the framework and general dis? integration of society. Citizens of the State, what shall we do to avert the calamity ? We must get rid of Tillman, or sink to the bot? tom and live in the dregs, while he sad bis gang feast on- the fat of the land at our expense Tillman, by his acts, bas clearly .bown be bas no knowledge of our popular form of government and laws. He is domineering, dictatorial and tyrannical. Iiis conduct bas shown fi) is dangerous, and utterly.unfit to | ? bold any official position, ile has involved the State in lawsuit after lawsuit, in every one of which he is wrong, except that of Coosaw. lt was based on the'opinion of Attorney General Connor, given. in 1877, and concurred in by ry Attorney Gen? eral since tba *e. Tillman's ad? ministration is entitled to no credit for gaining it ; but deserve censure for its bad management, whereby the State bas and is losing large sums of money. Farmers of the State, we elected Tillman, we did not know him two years ago as we know bim now. Then be was suggested by a conven? tion of the fanner's movement . men, tbef. champion of retrenchment and refmm. ?Now, he thinks he is the snobassent, and declares himself a candidate for reelection, and after denouncing as "rotten drift wood," our farmer members of the Legisla? ture calls for % Legislature of men who will obey his orders. The Leg lalatare acted wisely in taking his free pass from him, and refusing to enact into law his absurd proposi? tions, all looking to concentration of power into his hands, fur his own benefit. Tillman and Ellerbe have well nigh tifoed tbe State financially. A nother tJrfirwill finish us Think well tm it and vote them down and out when tbe time comes, Government is business of the highest order. No man's personality ia worth anything. Common sense and honesty are badly needed, partic? ularly among our officials. We want principles sustained, and our meas? ures carried to sucess. To do this, lay aside prejudice and personal pre? ference. Look over sud scan closely each community and select for the offices capable honest and successful business men. We have them in every community Elect them and tell them the country demands their time and success. Those who de clare their candidacy, as a rufe, are dead failures and unworthy of con fi dence and trnsi. Never touch a mau bas always been a failure tu the nagement of his owii affairs. Farmers of the State, let me ask you a question. Suppose one of you bad a patch of beautiful cotton, and ft was, the last of July, ready to be laid by. A fine season comes, you need a plowman. An able bodied man c mes along and offers his ser? vie*?*, telling you Le is an expert with the plow tn giving the finishing touches toa cotton ci wp. You em ploy bi& and give htm a good horse and plow, and send him to lay by the patch of cotton as with a smoothing irou. Having business elsewhere you depart. Returning in the after? noon and going to the cotton patch, yon find he has plowed up every stalk of cotton, what are your feel? ings and what will yon do with him ? When election day comes give Tillman the treatment the ploughman deserved and got at your hands, for Tillman has injured the State financially more than the . ploughman injured you by ploughing up your, cotton. The injury the , ploughman did you was small and and temporary. The injury. Tillman has done the State is great and lasting. Citizens of the State, one and all, Tillman is the cause of our greatest trouble. Ile has destroyed our peace and harmony. Let us come together and get rid of him and his gang of tra? ding politicians and work for the common good. There can be no peace and prosperity in the State as long as. Tillman is fa power. Ile is all the time stirring up strife. Farmers, Tillman knows he bas de? stroyed the peace and harmony of the people. Ile knows his adminis? tration has been a disastrous failure. If he is as anxious for the success of the principles and mensures the farmers' movement as he is to fill his pockets with gold and silver rocks and have a good time, he will quietly retire and advise the farmers to look for another leader. But no, he thinks we belong to him and he can do what he pleases with us. He does not wait to know oar wishes. He has declared his candidacy for re-election. He has denounced our farmer members of the Legislature as "totten drift wood" because they took his free railroad pass from him, and refused to enact into law his absurd prepositions giving him al* most absolute power. He intends to be. elected whether we say so or not. He bas the count. He calls for a Legislature of slaves to- obey his orders. I have beard all my life, you can lead a horse to water but you can't make him drink. Farmers, relying on Tillman's promises, and anxions for the success of our cause, we took bim from noth? ing and elected him Governor of the State. He now laughs at ns, and tells the country he was "blowing." Let us brush him' aside, and move on, and never pause until we get a man who does what be promises, and carries our measures of relief to suc? cess, or does his best to do it With? out capable, honest and loyal leaders our cause is doomed to defeat. If we fail it is our own fault. AJHancemen, we all know Tillman last year fought the chief demands of oar order, ile did all be could :o divide us and min the Alliance. Never trust him again. We cannot afford to be again deceived. Our condition demands immediate relief. If we are to get it we must put men clean, able and loyal to all our demands in all the offices you can from the President to coroner-require all to speak out, that we may know what we are doing. In China there Has not been a bank failure in 900 years. Why? Be? cause, if a batik fails, every officer of the bank loses his head. If a public man, to get office, makes promises and fails to redeem them, he ought to lose his bead It this waa the law, and enforced, we would have a gov? ernment right. Let UR all speak plain. The writer intends to du his Tull duty He stand* for the rights of the people where Washington stood. [Ie knows uo party or man in this epeat contest. Ile is fighting for principle, and measures, and the com* non good, and will do so to the snd. Carolinians, if you would be free men . and have th<? country prosperous, you must be true men ?nd fight like brave men. If your sires had not been heroes you would now be slaves. Show that you are worthy of their best efforts. Respectfully, ELLISON S KEITT. Enoree Plantation, S. C., March 5th. 1892.

We might tdd that gettiug drunk costs the people >f the Uuited States more than ?600, )00,000 annually, or much more than getting born, married sod buried put ogetber and more than ail the >read and meat consumed in the talion.

Daring a eirena performance in Hed oeaford, Staffordshire, England on March 16, Delhi Montano, a negro lion tamer, entered a cage, being adver? tised to subdue three savage bears aod a hyena which were together within. Jost as be was entering the cage be made a misstep and before be could recover himself he stumbled forward and fell into the cage, and the heavy iron door fell with a crash behind bim, cut? ting off his only meaos of escape. Instantly the animals, which he had many times mastered and made cower before the stroke of his whip, realized the tamer was at their mercy. The hyena seised him with its fangs. The brute tore the mao's flesh io a horrible manner, and then lifted bim from the floor of the cage and flung his body to the opposite side. The bears now seised the tamer and tossing bim from one to the other worried him like a tarrier would a rat, at the same time repeatedly bitiog bim in a savage manner and tearing bis limbs and body cruelly. Whoa the brutes were finally beaten. off and Montano was dragged from the cage be was found to be jost alive. He was torn and bruised from bead to foot and was completely covered with the blood which flowed from his many wounds. He was conveyed to a nearby hotel and medica! assistance was immediately summoned, bot bo gradually sank, aod after lingering in great agony for an hour death finally put an eod to his misery. At the inquest the proprietor of the menagerie testified that Montano had never before experienced ao accident daring his long coooection with me? nageries in the capacity of an animal tamer. He said that he had tried to resole the unfortunate man as sooon as he was attacked, but that it was with the greatest difficulty that the animals were beaten off and forced to relinquish their prey. mww I a-?Sea Politicians as a mle bave bad memo-, ries and no gratitude whatever.
