Id view of the fact that numbers of Anti-Tillman meetiogs, which bave elected delegates to the Convention which meets today, have adopud reso lutions demanding a direct primary, a reporter for the Register sought au interview with Governor Tillman to hear what he had to say ou that sub ject. The scribe began his probing with the question : Governor, what is your attitude and opinion in regard to a direct primary? He answered : "I am surprised that you should ask this question wheu the matter was fully discussed by me dur ing the last campaign. I am one of the pioneers io the agitation iu advocacy of a State primary, and io 1888, on two occasions, in both State conven tions, I made speeches advocating the nomination of State officers by this method. In both conventions the mat ter was overwhelmingly defeated, and after careful analysis and study of the situation I so far modified my opinion as to advocate the plan, now in vogue, of electing delegates by a primary The demand for a change was made in the March platform, 1S90, which I wrote, and it was incorporated iu the party constitution in September. The present hue and cry for a direct prima ry is a piece of political clap-trap by which my enemies seek to place me in a false position. If it were carried out they would be the first to regret it and advocate a change. They don't want it. But I desire to say right here that individually I am willing aud was in 1890 to submit my candidacy to a di rect vote of the white Democrats of the State. I have every reason to believe that my strength would be more clearly j-hown and I would have a more emphat ic endorsement under that plan than I could uuder the existing one. The counties of Georgetown, Beaufort, Sum ter, llichland and Fairfield, which are all debatable, and which for the f-ake of argnmeut, I will say will go against me, would iu that event be counterbalanced by the majority I expect to obtain in either Spartauburg or Greenville. The demand for the primary arose in the white section of the State and was de signed to break up ring rule. It was never intended to take any advantage of the brave Democrats of the negro counties." "What caused you to modify your opinion and change from a direct pri mary to an eleetiou of delegates by pri mary i "Well the primary system, looks to obtaining the popular voice by allowing the individual voter to express his per sonal preference and the present system gives that. Iam and always have been in favor of the people selecting their own rulers " The Governor here put his hand in bis breast pocket nnd drew out a note book and said : "Here is a table which I have prepared for campaign purposes. This i- my basket of 'rocks,' " he laughingly added, "and I wiii chunk one into the enemy's camp before the campaign opens. It is a table giving the white and colored population, with the delegates in the State Convention, of fourteen counties, and will show very clearly what a disturbing factor iu State politics a direct primary wuuld be. Here is the table. White Colored Delegates Populat'n Popul at'n Stute i 890 . 1890 Con veut'a. Aiken 13,576 18 244 ?

"By deducting the population of these fourteen counties from the total white and colored population of the State, we fiod that these fourteen coun ties, containing only 179,000 of the colored population, would overbalance twenty-one counties, which are compell ed to coutrol 513,000 negroes, or that Spattauburg, entitled to fcurteeu votes in the Convention, w*ould in a primary overbalance Beaufort, Berkeley, Fair field, Georgetown and Sumter, eutitled to fitry votes iu the Convention, and yet have 750 votes to spare You perceive at once that a direct primary would utterly destroy the political equilibrium of the State. It would do more The | Democrats in the heavy negro counties who are now asked to adopt this system of nominating State officers will be ex pected to coutrol the colored vote in their respective counties and send Dem ocrats to the Legislature, although they would never have a chance to obtain any of the State offices by reason of a small white vote. Is it either reasona ble or just '? I don't think s>>, and hence my change of opinion." "But, Governor, if one white man in Berkeley has as much political power in the State Convention as five white men in Spartanburg, will not that breed dissatisfaction"/" "A' the first blush it appears to be wrot.g, but we must lak" things as we find them. This sanie argument is the stock in ti ade <>f the Foraker-Sber? man wing <?f the Radical party, which demand* that the Southern electoral vote .-?lid representation in Congress shall lie based on the votes cast, rather than the j ipuiation They claim that one white ... , in South Carolina has three times ..- much ? "!i i(V;l power ms a white man in Ohi ? or Kansas. Now, if we, ignor ing aii precedent and law, recognize the j ?sirco of their argument iu t.ur part management, how are wc to ex pect that they will stop agitating along Iol?I line, und how would we answer their orators in Congress and on the stump? -presenfation in all political bodies is based on the legal representa tion according to population. Where the conditions are so unrqnal aud the t qui li bri um that exists would be so vio lently disturbed by a change, I cannot believe that such change would add to the harmony and unity of the party which seems so dear to these same pa triots. It is a matter for the party to determine, and ? am ready to submit to the verdict of tlie psople."?Columbia Register, March 24 - Hill? ? ? fill Political Inequality. Tn justice to Governor Tillman, whose position on a direct primary has bren criticised in our columns, we give hie statement of the question as he views it now, so that every one may judge for himself whether or not the changed position of the Governor is tenable ar.d just. Like everything he does, there is no mistake as to where he stands, for it is always easy to place him on every topic of public interest He is not dodging arouud every issue, and while he may reverse his views occasionally, it is simple candor to say that he is always ready to champion the opposite eide when he gets there. Nev ertheless, we believe that Governor Tillman was clearly right in his advo cacy of a direct primary in former years, and that Le is just as decidedly wrong in the position he now occupies The culminating point of his argument lies in the table he has prepared to show the inequality of a direct primary, by which he alleges that fourteen coun ties would gain an undue advantage over the remaining twenty oue. Iu order to take a look at the other side, we have also prepared a table to show the inequality of the present system, through which an UDdue advantage has been given to a minority of the Demo cratic voters in this State for a long time. Look at these figures: White Colored Delegates Populnt'n Pupulat'n Siate 1890 1890 Conv'n.

Colored, Del. in Conv. In State 453 454 692,503 320 Deduct 168 086 413 112 160 290;368 279,391 160 Fifteen counties, representing a little over one-third of the whites and nearly two-thirds of the negroes, only lack one vote of controlling the Staio Conven tion. Twenty counties, representing nearly two-thirds of the whites aud a little over one third of the negroes, are entitled to only one-half the delegates in a State Convention. The Governor declares "that a direct primary would utterly destroy the polit ical equilibrium of the State,'' How could it destroy that which has never existed ? Political power in this vState has been unequally balanced since its earliest, history, aud the contention now is to rectify the abuse of generations Examine the figures given in the two tables, and decide whether the inequali ty which continues to exist under the convention plan docs not far exceed the injustice alleged against the direct pri mary. It is true that the re apportion ment under the last census has modi fied the inequality to some exteut, and that the distribution of power is not so glaringly unjust as in former years, but when it comes to one-third being on an equal footing with two-thirds inside the party lines, we are not willing to stop the agitation of this subject. There is no excuse in the claim that this inequal ity ought to continue because the negro counties are harder to control in the general election, and in point of fact we do not admit that it requires any mere exer'ion to gain the election in one section of the State than another. So long as the eight box law exists, and the negroes ate not generally regis tered, it is absurd to claim any special credit in controlling the colored vote, which has not reached 25.000 at auy election in the last ten years. The Cooveution system of itself is sufficiently unjust to the majority of white voters, by which one third virtu ally controls two-thirds, as we have already shown. But the indirect pri mary for the election of delegates, a? now provided under the party constitu tion, can work even a jjieater hardship upon the majority of Democrats in this State. In the fifteen counties we have named, in order to elect delegates by a majority in each conty, it. would re quire only lG.SOO votes at a full prima ry, excluding the negroes from the count. In the other twenty counties it would r< quire 29.O?0 votes to elect the same number ot delegates by a majority in each county. This fresh device to blind the people is even worse than the old system which Gov. Tillman sought to destroy prior to 1890. It is a piti ful subterfuge aud a miserable evasion of the true issue involved, which was aptly stated by Gov. Tillman in one of his speeches during the last campaign : " We have never had a Democratic Governor, and I cau prove it by show ing vou, because you never have voted for a Governor in your life except after he was nominated in November. Now the fight is that the people shall have the right for themselves, that each and every man shall have a voice in the election of the Chief Magistrate and chief officers." The people are stiii denied this right, and uutil we get a direct primary, are we still without a Democratic Governor Who is respon sible '??Enterprise and Mountaineer.

We would suppose at least 200 Southern votes would be given him as the delegates more than double the electoral votes.?Wilmington Mes senger. The South at the World's Fair. In its issue for this week the Manu facturera' Record appeal to the South to prepare for the World's Columbian Exposition : "The display of apathy regarding preparation that is being manifested in several sections of the South is greatiy to be lamented. Iu the absence it coustitu'ional obstacles, the refusal of any Southern legislature to make lib eral appropriation for Sfate representa t m at Chicago is false economy of the most conspicuous kind. Neglect to make ample provi.siou for this great event is short-sighted policy that is sure to react in an injurious manner upon the whole South. The older industrial sections of the North are making liberal prepa rations for representation in the World's Fair, and the West is providing for the occasion with a wouderful display of prodigality. Money appropriated for this purpose does not indicate extra vagance in any respeci, but the indif ferent policy that has been adopted by a few of the Southern Spates must be regarded as either parsimony or a fail ure to appreciate the importance of the opportunity. "There is not, to our knowledge, any other use to which a reasonable appropriation could be devoted with better results than in the provision of a suitable exhibit of the resources aud industries of any Southern State in this great exposition. Advertising is the life of industry in these days, and States that desire to attract atteution and promote development might as well en close their borders with a high fence as to neglect any good opportunity for making their advantages known to the world. The business man who does not advertise confines his operations to a narrow field, and this rule applies equally well to a town, county or State. The World's Columbian Exposition is a huge advertising enterprise, and tho*e who do not participate in it will feel the effects iu an unfortunate manner. "There is a peculiar nrcsfiy for the South to utilize this opportnnity to the fullest possible exteut. There are thousands of people in the North, in New England and across the ocean who have invested largely in various enter prises for furthering the development of the South. Nine cut of ten of such investors have nev^r been in the South and will never visit that section of the eountry. They have read and heard much of the wunderful resources of the South, its rapidly growing industries, its mines, forets, mills and furnaces, and when they go to Chicago next year they will naturally expect to see a Southern exhibit proportioned to the wealth and resources of that section. They are fully justified in such an ex pectation, and the responsibility for ful fii) ment rests wi h the South?with ! each State as well as wi:h individuals "vVc earnestly hope that all consider ation of false economy will be set a ide in this matter, and that all the South ern States will act iu unison in provid for a liberal display at Chicago. It is uot a matter of willingness or inclina tion, but of necessity that is imperative, Let there be no delay, no differences of opinion ai to plans, but let there be j everywhere a united and determined effort to place tlie South ou au equal footing with the entire world iu the World's Columbian Exposition. We have no interest whatever in this expo- j s i r i apart from its bearing upon the 1 South, hut wc fully appreciate ?he im- | portance of the occasion, and warn the j Sourh not. m let such an opportunity I pass unheeded.''?Manufacturer:?'

If he de sires whisky, it is give hi:n in moder ate quantities, the amount being les-i sened, until invariably at the end of the third day he ceases taking it of Iiis own volition. A powerful tonic is also given, the ingredients of which some say ate arsenic, strychnine, belladonna, cin chona, atropin, alcohol, opium, and morphine. What it really does con-1 tain is not known. It is exceedingly bitter, and its foundation is supposed to be bichloride of gold. It produces a vigorous appetite, brings refreshing sleep to the patient's confused brain, and entirely destroys the craving for drink. It is taken every two houis while the patient is awake. Hypodermic treatment is given at the institute four times a day. The patien'8 are formed into a line in which every one meets his neighbor aR an equal. No partiality is shown. The rich and poor touch elbows, and every face beats the impress of a new hope. A word may not be amiss concern ing the effect of the g'dd treatment during a stay at Dwight and the condition of the system at its comple tion. During the first three days peculiar and trying sensations are experienced The continual puncturing of the arm lenders it sensitive and gradually aj hard spot about the size of a walnut appears. ir is only with an effort that the patient can raise the arm from the side; the eyes become affected, in some cases to absolute blindness ; the memory is impaired, as the followiug incident in the case of one ptient will show. Ile asked the manager of the hotel if he could have a couple of friends coin? to spend Sunday with him. Being answered in the affirma tive he requested a telegraph blank. It was given him. He stood for half an hour thinking, and handed the blank back to the clerk, saying, "1 guess 1 won't telegraph now. I can not think who it was to whom I want ed to send the message." Ina few days these conditions dis appear and the benefits of the gold remedy become apparent At the end of the treatment a complete reno vation has taken place. A person addicted to alcohol has twisted aud confused ideas on all subjects Keep liquor away from such a person twen ty-one days and he will be half dead: A bichloride of gold patient after twenty-one days' treatment seems to have a new hold on life Iiis com plexion is clear, the bloated and careworn expression is gone, and instead of being an irritable, unreason able person, he becomes a pleasant and agreeable companion. If an habitual diunkard should ab stain from whisky for this length of time, disease might follow, or even death. But with the gold cure the abstinence brings vigor and courage, aud the man becomes fully capable of performing the work of life. Such results as these are practical and show something tangible to work on A stay of twenty-one days in most cases is sufficient to effect a cure. Others require four and five weeks; The utmost freedom is allowed pa tients. No restrictions are placed on their liberiiy, the only requirement being that all act the pait of gentle men. In no place in the world does one see such good fellowship as here One is not scorned lor what he has done, but instead sympathetic hearts and willing hands encourage and help the weak of spirit to a future that un folds itself toward a life of manhood, sobriety, aud usefulness It is truly said by many that this very fellow feeling is of great help in making the bichloride of gold pet form its work effectively. Many peculia~ and interesting inci dents are related showing the enthusi asm of persons who have been there for treatment. One generous man in Illinois returning home put a standing offer iu the local paper that any man iu the town addicted to the use of liquor, and desiring to he cured, might come to him and he would furnish the mon ey to get this treatment, with no seen rity at all. He said that if aman had nerve enough to go lie would risk the pay iu any case. This gentleman i< at the p ?sent time paying for the treatment of a dozen men, and his faith in bicloride of gold is unabated. The Bichloride ol Gold Club of Chicago has sent upward of three hundred men to Dwight. The club g i hers in men in all stages of drunk enness and becomes responsible tor their treatment; in no case so far has their confidence in their treat ment been shattered, and in evrey in stall?e the outlay has been returned shortly after the cure was made. The e fleets of alcohol on the sys tem from a physiological point of view as gathered from the reports of anthoi ities upon the subject and presented in an outline in the circu lais tf the Dwight Institution, are substantially as fohuvs: Alcohol taken into the body enters the blood j from the stomach without digestion J aud reaches every ii"ivc of the body, j After having entered the blood, it undergoes oxidation and is irorned up. A simple experiment shows ite work of the nerve tisanes. Take the white of an egg, put it in a glass and ! beat it np: add a little alcohol a:?d the albumen coagulale? and become* hard. As the nerve tissues of the bod/ are for the major put album inous, alcohol affects them in a sim ilar manner and this form? what is known as the preliminary step to chronic aleoho?Mii. ( this con dition alcohol is required to Rptir up the nerves to perfoim their duty, so deadened have they become. Tiie human system vili admit of the oxidation of about six ounces o? alcohol in tw -.v.y-four hours, but iti effect when consumed by contact with oxygen in the organs of the body is the same as when burned in the lamp; heat is the result; and when alcohol is taken to excess the man a living; lite within himself. Millions of the tissues molecules of the body aro de.-troyed. A few hours' rest Would restore the waste by new material from the blood, but if in condition a moderate amount of alcohol be taken, it seems to lesson the fatigue because the albuminous portion of the tissues becomes hardened; thus the habit grows and the man becomes wholly dependent upon stimulants. )ii considering alcoholism a disease, it is said that it permeates with a wavelike tendency, rising and filling in a manner characteristic to the temperament of the individual, aud as long as this continues, the craving for a stimulant remains. The object to be accomplished is the breaking of this waveiike tendency. Once broken, the patient is free for all timo to come. Bichloride of gold ?.oee this, and puts a man in the condition in which he was before he ever tasted a drop of liquor. A meeting is to be held shortly in Chicago which will be the most remark able gathering known in our history. Delegites from every state in the Union, all farmer patients of Dwight, will meet to devise ways for making it possible for the worst and most helpless case to obtain the bichloride of gold treatment. A grand gather* ing it will be, and it cannot fail to do a world of practial good.? By John R Barlow in April Chaulauquan. A Generous Brother. In 1872 I was pastor of a church iu a beautiful New Hampshire village. Among the members was an elderly farmer, residing seven miles from the church. It was generally known that he had some fifteen or eighteen thone* and dollars in bonds and other securi ties, besides a large and well stocked farm. At his earnest and repeated solicitations to pi each on some Sen day afternoon in an old church near his home, I finally consented. It was an exceedingly warm Sunday in July* I hired a horse and carriage, drove to the old meeting house, and preached to perhaps a hundred persons. After the service the old gentleman invited rac to call at his house. I did so, in hope that he would pay my horse bill or at least offer me a lit le food for I had tasted nothing since break* fast. In both I was disappointed. As I was leaving I asked him if he would give me two or three apples to eat as I drove back home. He pro duced four small russet apples. Knowing his penurious disposition, I asked, "How much shall I pay yoa for these?' "I gueqs about three cents," was the reply. "1 would give 'em to you, but its getting late fir apples, and they are mighty scarce around here." Solid Truth in This. The Carolina Spartan of Spartan* burg calls attention to the fact that busy, prosperous fanners are not the ones who are kicking up the political rumpus. It says: There a-e hundreds of them in this county, but they are not the sott that are found swinging on to the coat tails of three-for-a quarter pol i liane and yelling themselves hoarse iu the interest of special candidates. They are too busy with their own affairs,, They talk * little.
