Wednesday, July 20, is the day appointed for the campaign meeting at this place. i We desire, in advance, to urge on all who fettend this meeting to refrain from insulting the speakers or attempting to bowl them down. Two years ago there was as disgraceful a spectacle presented at the campaign meeting as we ever bave witpessed, and we do not -tare to see the like again. For tbe honor of the county, let each man resolve to conduct himself like a gentleman. In that case, all will go well. U hat been suggested that for that occasion, special policemen be sworn in to police tbe ?ity, while all the regular police force shall be pieced on dutj at tbe stand, with instructions to pat down all attempts at disturbing the meeting. Men wbo thick of doing this should rrflect that bj tbeir actions a terrible collision may be brought on, resulting in loss of life even. such men are public ene mies, and should be so regarded and treated. Bat if our counsels shall prevail, and our peo ple determine that they will give a fair hearing to both sides, everything will pass of pleas antly, and there will be no regrets or vorse. Lei as have no Florence doings bere ! GEK. moise fob congress. It is announced on the authority of some of his friends who are in position to know, that Gen. E. W. Moise has consented to make the race for Congress from the 7th district. Of coarse it ie a matter of local pride to know that Gen. Moise has been thu3 brought out for thit most important place But far beyond this sentiment is tbe satisfaction we feel in supporting bis nomination, on account of his unquestionable fitness in every respect to represent this district in tbe halls of the National assembly. A man of broad view?, extended culture, and wide range of in forma tion, with a depth of patriotism such as is seldom seen, Gen. Moise has no superior in tbe 7th district in all the requisites necessary ter ?access in Congress. Col. Elliott has declined further nomination, and tbe only candidate now in the field is Mr. W. H. Heyward of Colleton. The advantages that Gen. Moise possesses over Mr. Hey ward are that be is so well knowo'all over the district and State, is popular with all class?e, and has a trained legal mind. These are.ad ran tages not to be overlooked m pui ting a candidate before the people. INDEPENDENCE DAY. Aco?her anniversary of our national birth Jaytas come and gone. Here, tbe merchants el wed their stores and tbe banks and public oftscee were also closed, and everybody took a holiday, but as to any special observance of **fae day, there was none. Time was when the "glori?os fourth" meant a big muster of the military, an oration, generally in a church, ?od a reading of the celebrated "Declara tion." But the war came on, aad we lost, ?ad our national enthuaiam fell to a low ebb, from -which it has not wholly recovered. This was a national result, but one that is to be distinctly deplored, for are we not one country, bound up to one destiny, with one 'tag, and one Constitution? Patriotism is one of the strongest guarantees of a nation's strength. Where that is absent, the abstract lave of country which takes men ont of tbe ?arrow atmosphere of provincialism, and makes them work and strive for tbe good of their native land, canaot exist. It isa vir tue that has always been highly esteemed in all nations, bat is more especially valuable in ? republic which can only be maintained by the wise and intelligent love of itsipeople. We advocate, therefore, a return :o the cus toms of our fathers in this particular, at least to a greater extent thac is now manifested. Our children will not be made less good citi zens by aa annual public reminder of the origin of their country, and {a review of the principles on which it is founded. E PLTJBIBUS u??m I -"United we stand?divided we fall." Such is onr country's motto, as generally ooderstood. But look how our latter-day statesmen Interpret it. 1. The National Democratic ticket?Grever Cleveland, and Adlai Stevenson. 2. Tbe National Republican ticket?Benj. Harrison, and Wnitelaw Reid. 3. The National Prohibition ticket?John Bidwell and J. B. Granfili. 4. The National Third Party ticket? J. B. Weaver, and Jas. G. Field. Wbo says that politics will not be lively in Cncle Sam's 'later patch this year ? Who says that the Alliance has nothing to do with politics? Wbo says that our Prohibitionists are not earnest, when they forsake all old parties and launch out on tbe stormy sea of politics, sustained by the moral power of the courage of their cooTictions ? Ont of all these movements there emerges this patent fact, i. e., the old war parties are doomed to disintegration. Other issues) tare come to the front, and cerne to stay, and in the near future our peopk will divide on them. We of the South have t>een holding for some years that our sectional integrity and prosperity are bound up with the fortunes of the national democracy It may be well to take into consideration our next more, and how to preserve what we hold so essential to oar progress, before the break up is actually o pou us. Four years ago the vote for Cleve land was 5,538,233 ; tbe vote for Harrison was 5,440,216 ; tbe vote for Fisk, prohibi tionist, was 249,907?one hundred thousand more than in 1884. What the Third Party will poll remains to be seen, bui there is food for thought in these figures and facts, ?0 ?? independentism". Time was when it was said "an Indepen dent it worse than a Radical." By an Inde pendent was meant one who acted, or wa? inclined to act, or gave even remote evidence of an inclination to act, oot?ide the rules, regulations, edicts and platforms of tbe Dem ocratic party. An Independent was then a snake to be hit, a traitor to be held up to j public scorn and contempt, no words were too severe to be applied to him, no /ate too horrible to visit upon him. It was said that white supremacy could be maintained only by crushing out independentism, and that every such man was a foe to that race and its supremacy. But now ? Independentism seems to be the glory of all except the servile followers of self-imposed leaders?it shows growth of mind, fearlessness, pure patriotism, large in formation, devotion to principle, adherence to trutb, an ? many other admirable qualities. And it all came in with the Alliance I The Alliance fathers or fosters it. The Delphic ? oracle of AI ianceisra in South Carolina ad- ; VH-Mie* it in the form of opposition to Cleve land and tbe organization of a Third Party. ' , The touch of Midas turned to gold all it came in contact with. Does the touch of the Alliance convert independentistn into the most admirable and desirable of cut?es and I obligations? Does might make right? When it is too late, and when all the waves and storms that are resulting and will result from distrust, suspicion, demoralisation, disinte gration, mutual abuse, demagoguery and fac tioniem bave 8w over our uahappy State, I and the innocent alike witb the guilty bare j been made to drain to ite dregs the cup of II folly now held ' high in this Bacchanalian revet of political chaos and upheaval, then, perhaps, the eyes of the blinded devotees who have brought this thing upon us will be open ed, and in the wisdom and sadness born o bitter experience, they will begia to gather the fragments that remain, and seek to reha bilitate the doubly prostrate State upoo the principles of righteousness and pure patriot ism. _ AN EXPLANATION. We regret very much that in the hurry of going to press last week, the letter of the Hon. J. E. DuPre, on which we made edito rial comment, should have been left out. It was set up and ready to go in, but by a con catenation of circumstances to which alj newspaper offices are occasionally subject, it was omitted. We wrote at osco t? ifr. DuPre explaining the circumstance, but we feel that it is due to our readers aed.ourselves, as well as to him to make the explanation public. We ask all who may be interested to rend his letter in this issue, and refer to our editorial in last week's. Mr. Editor ; In your issue of the let iost. you say : Only those whom Stokes favored were invited to take part in the Alliance caucus preceding the May Convention, and that Col. J. H. Wilson was not invited to go in and did not, &c. From this I infer that invitation? were issued to those that were wanted (Tillroanites) and that Col. Wilson being an ami, did not get one. This is a remarkable statement from one who knows nothing about the principles of the order except what is published. If any invitation was issued to any one I never heard of it. I was in the caucus and was not invited except by the general invitation ex tended to all ellianccmen, Col. Wiison in cluded. Col. Wilson knows as well as I do that Stokes or anyone else has not any au thority to pick and choose a caucus of Al j liancemea on account of politics, and why he j did not attend that caucus and help to pro ? mote the order of which he is the head in this j county, he aloue can tell. One reason why be did not go into that caucus was that he was not in Columbia at the time it was held. With ail true Alitancemen, politics is not thought of in connection with the order. Col. Wilson bad as much right in that caucus as any of the delegates from this county, Stokes, or any one else, and none knows this better than he does. It has come to a Sue pnse that a mere difference of opinion in the government of our State should affect our churches, our society and our orders. J. E. DdPrs. Pisgab, S. C, June 17, 1892. THE COLUMBIA MEETING*. Contrary to the dreary vaticinations of the Regitttr mnn, the campaign meeting in Co lumbia was without any specially exciting incident. Tillman's scalpe lock etili adorns his cranium, and the Administration yet lives uninjured. Col. Youmans was howled at, not down, for fifteen or twenty minutes, hut he finally made good his opportunity and made a powerful speech, though shamefully inter rupted. The crowd was not large, and ap pears to have been equally divided in their sympathies. A number of Sumter people were at the meeting, which was held on the j green near the Sooth Carolina College. THE CHABLESTON POSTMAS TEBSHIP. Grandfather's Hat has nominated Dr. W. D. Crum for the Cnarleston postmastership, to displace Mr. Mowry whose administration bas been eminently satisfactory. The nomi nation is said to be the price paid for the sup port of Harrison by Crum aud colleagues at the recent National Republican convention. Petitions that tbe nomination be not con- 1 firmed hare been forwarded by tbe Chamber 1 of Commerce, Board of Tiade, and other , commercial associations of the city. The sen ate is republican, and may disregard these 1 petitions, but it is proper that the administra- | tion be put in possession of the wishes of tboee cbiefiy interested. \ THAT BOOMEBANG. _ < Gov. Tillman has published a list of the expenditures from the contingent fund under ^ 9x-Gov. Richardson's administration. He does this by way of retorting on those who nave criticized him for buying a joggling- 1 board and a dishpan, and flower seed out of c his contingent fund. j W? have always considered that in a cam paign involving so much that was grave ' and momentous, it was condescending to ' very small potatoes indeed to be attempting to bold bim up to ridicule, by bringing out ! such contemptible matters. There is no doubt that Gov. Tillman bas a right under-the cir- . cumstances to make this publication, and we are not at all sorry that he has done so. If | crookedness existed in administrations prior to his, let the facts be made public, let who may suffer 1 ( But let this also be considered?that the op ponents of Tillman are cot responsible for 1 what ex-Gov. Richardson did or did not do ; that to blacken bim does not whitewash Till man ; that he began this method of attack, and should, therefore, have been absolutely immaculate himself, before posing as the apostle of purity, economy and reform ; that he must be reduced to severe straits when he j finds it oecL-sswry to boost himself at the ex pense of one who has retired to private life, and when to excite the sympathies of his fol lowers he use? such means to attempt to hold responsible all who oppose bim fur alleged un warrantable use of public funds. We abject to the offensive tone adopted by the Register in speaking of this matter. We mean his fling9 against "culture, refinement and intelligence," as if these were deserving of condemnation in themselves, or as if tbe claim that they possessed these qualities, by the.anti-Tillmanites, whs merely a hypocriti cal pretense, and btlse in fact. It would be wild to claim that the Antis possess all the culture, refinement and intelligence of the State, but it would also be wilder still to claim that tbe Pros possess them all to the ex" elusion of others. As a matter of fact it j makes "8 tir"d to hear a man of the stamp of the Register's <*ditor ir.veiijh against quali ties of which he knows hs little as a color blind ra;in dors of colore?if we may j idge by the methods of expression be babitualiy employs. , And while in one column he declares that it < is the clear purpose of Gov Tillman and his 1 lieutenants to take as much of the bitterness j j out of the campaign as possihle, yet he shows \ no intention of following the alleged ead of 1 bis chief, but on the contrary, by covert in sinuation and open charge, he does what he can to foment bitterness, and bring on open ^ rupture, by charging that it is the intention c of the Amis so to do! It is a distinct relie t to know that stich a man could not be found * within the bounds of the .State, but had to be 11 imported A New Paper Born. At Kingstree. June 30, 1892, was born the ?

The following account is taken from the Augusta Chronicle, excepting the part that relates to the rebuke of Gov. Tillman by the Rev. S. M. Richard so 3, for using profane language, which is told thus by the corres pondent of the News and Courier ; "Governor Tillman proceeded to explain that the campaign meetings were not conducted on so high and honorable a plane. "Colonel Youmaos : Do you mean to qualify what you said ? Governor Tillman, fiercely : "Not a damn ed bit, sir." Colonel Yoamans, very cooily ; "Very well ; I will see about it." Governor Tillman, after a pause: "I will apologize to the audieuce for using an expres sion which well expressed my meaniog." The Rev, S. M. Richardson advanced toward the governor and, pausing, said : "Governor Tillman, do you believe in a God?" Governor Tillman : "I do and trust in Him." Mr. Richardson: "Then you should apologize for your expression." Governor Tillman: "I have already apologized." Mr. Richardson: "I wish to rebuke be fore this audience any such language. It shall not go a rebuked." I The crowds began arriving early this morniog to attend the meeting and men said : there would be trouble. It always required : the utmost effort that could be pat forth to ? carry the Florence meeting over peaceably. At 11 o'clock the crowd, numbering about 600, assembled at the stand. They stood upon their feet in a determined way. It was plain that the hosts were almost evenly divi ded, or at least thought themselves so, though it was subsequently made e vident that the Tillman faction was in the majority. The legends were: "Save the credit of the Stat* " ""Sbeppard and Orr," "Save the State," "We will build the College," ? Bing ham for Congress," "We Will Whip Sbeppard and His Orrful Flock." "Youmans and Truth." The legends aeted more to inflame the crowds and to' keep them iufiamed than every speech delivered. They were red flags constantly flaunting and strife stirring amongst the factio'.s and pat a practical end to patient listening by them to any of the speeches. Tbe first speech wa3 made by Lieutenant Gary. Hardly had he bagun before the first excitement arose. The audience surged and exclaimed wildly and pointed to the wall back of tbe speakers' stand. Here two men stood bearing aloft at the back of Governor Tillman a huge banner held taut bearing tbe running figure of a man surrounded by tbe following inscription in flaming characters : "The great Bamboozler running away from Youmaos ; compliments of Timmonsville." Tbe meeting was thrown into confusion. Hundreds of voices were crying at their highest pitch, "It shan't stay up there." "It shall." "Tear it down," "tear it down," "pall it off," "Tillman is solid." The principal bearer, a large, burly Tim monsonian, cried, "I brought it up here, and by G?d it shall stay. The stand was almost instantly filled with Tillmauites and conservatives, the first to remove the banner, the second to support it. Colonel Youmans arose and said, "remove it. I am Youmaus, remove it, take it off tbe stand." There were cries of "fight." "Let 'em fight." Tbe chairman, a Til'manite, exclaimed, ''They've been bothering us long enough. If they want blood, we will give it to them. By God I am ready to die now." The banner was removed to the crowd and planted in front of the stand, where it s'uod through tbe meeting, a source of irritation. Lieutenant Governor Gary made a state meot. A man cried "he is a lie." Lieuten ant Gary said clearly, "if anybody wants to insult me today, if he will wait until after this meeting, he can have all the chance he wants." Many voices?"A good many more of us." The chairman?"Yes." Colonel Gary-epoke thirty miau tes. Colonel Youmans was introduced. He had had a difference with the county chairman about a division of time. He bad gone to Governor Tillman, who bad referred him back to the chairman. Colonel Youmans addressing the meeting, said be would decline to speak. He would wait until he could have a fair opportunity. He gave his time to his colleague, Colonel Murphy. At 2.15 Governor Tillman began to speak. Governor Tillman spoke without reserve. He jumped upon tbe people of Florence and abused t?em to their teeth, referring to his re ception there tbe night before by a lot of"bul liee" when he was the guest of the town. He ilung his axe, the cbtps filled the air, amidst the cheers of his friends and the curses of the opposition in the audience, while the governor's face wore a look of extreme bitterness. He jpoke of General Karle, his opponent of two rears ago, "a man more truthful and bonor ible than any of these." Col. Youmans sprang up. "Do you mean to say that Earle is more hon orable than I am?" Governor Tillman?"I do, sir." The noise from the crowd almost drowned :he voices. Friends crowded together. Col. Youmans?"Then I will.see yon, sir." Governor Tillman proceeded and said to the audience that Gen. Earle had conducted the campaign on a high and honorable plan. Col. Youmans?"Then do you mean to qual ify what you said just now?" Gov. Tillman wheeled qnick and fiercely ike a flash and as quick as lighting said: Not damn bit, sir." The word rang like a pistol shot. Gov. Tillman stood and scowled at Col. Youmans a moment. Tbe crowd went wild. Nobody knew what would happen the next noment. Men, friends, antis crowded around the governor. I Til Imam tes and antis drew near Colonel I ** Youmans. Colonel Youmans?"Weil I will see vou \ sir " Governor Tillman proceeded with his speech. If one pistol had appeared fifty would bave leaped out. The men aroend had them. Colonel Youmans remained standing. A Tillmanite (one of a number who had gotten near Colonel Youmans)?"you had just as well keep still Colonel Youmans; we've got our eye on \ ou." Colonel Youmans threw the remark aside i saving he did not purpose to hurt Governor j Tillman. * j F Before Governor Tillmnn concluded, trou- I ?' hie arose over the Timmcnsviiie banner. ? i One cf the three brothers Lee cursed McBride. the bearer of the banner. Something wisdepread and disturbing had been apprehended from this source. McBride cried, "I'll whip you," and started toward Lee. One of the brothers, who had a nook on the platform, filled the air with curses, and cried to be let down, (hat he would kill McBride. He sprang into the crowd and made for the fray. The meeting broke up. The father and another brother of Lee dashed forward. Chairs were seized and ra;---d in the air. The audience moved otl. f. ilowioc the belligerents. deafening cries fined the air Men pulled their coats off and stumped the ground in their anger and excitement. The leaders cried "keep cool, knp cool." The Timmonsville banner was seized and borne away. A Tillmanite sent his stick through the banner, tearing its fare. The police broke up the fight. McBride ran back, took a panv and rescued bis banner and bore it back and planted it upon its former place. Governor Tillman proceeded with and con cluded Ins speech. Colonel Youmans explained to The Chroni cle reporter after tbe meeting that he intend ed to express no intention of persona! vio lence toward Governor Tillman. He meant fhat he would answer him on the stand. He would not attack Governor Tillman vi<> ently or any other man without giving him "air notice. C. S. & N. Extension. The Charleston, Sa m ter and Northern Railroad will extend its line to Gibson, a imail town in North Carolina. Work upon he extension has already ^egun.

To the Editors of The Freeman: Dear Sirs?At an un usually well at tended meeting of the Stateburg Demo cratic Club, held at 12 o'clock M. on Saturday, 2d of July, the following preamble and resolutions were unani mously adopted. Will you kindly grant us space for publication in the next issue of your paper. W. W. Anderson, Jr., President Stateburg Dem. Club. Whereas, there seems to be a well grounded belief in the minds of many that the People's Party, or so-called Third Party, may develop some strength in this State should a nation al ticket be nominated by their con vention soon to be assembled; and whereas we believe that our material prosperity, and our political safety can only be promoted by a steady and un swerving loyalty to the National Demo cratic party, therefore be it resolved, 1st. That we heartily approve the platform of principles enunciated by the National Democratic Convention recently held in Chicago, according es pecial commendation to the planks with reference to tariff reform, the sil ver question, and the repeal of the tax on State banks. 2d. That we hereby express our un qualified endorsement of the wisdom of that Convention in the nomination of Cleveland and Stevenson, and that we pledge our best efforts to secure the success of that electoral ticket. ' 3d. That wc cordially invite all of the Democratic clubs throughout our County and State to unite with us in giving public expression to a similar ratification of party action, thereby effectually repudiating the pernicious teaching of those, wiio, from selfish mo tives, would attempt to cause division in our rank:-, and seduce our citizens into a betrayal of our traditional party faith. 4th. That wTe emphatically denounce those political masqueraders, who, "stealing the livery of Heaven to serve the devil in," would endeavor to foist themselves into public olMce by Demo cratic votes while personally advoca ting the principles of another and op posing party. 5th. That a copy of these resolutions he furnished to each of the three-Coun ty papers with a request to publish, and also to the News and Courier and to the State. "Cleve and Steva" will be the Democratic rallying cry in this campaign. Tyler Desks. $21. The Tyler Desk Co , of St. Loois.
