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,

Killed the Tamer.
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.
