EDITORIAL NOTES. \n the absence of tbe editor, daring tbe past month, valuable assistance baa been ren derejjfcby Rer. John Kersbaw and Rev. J. S. HartxelL So sati3f*c rory has beeo the' work done by these gentlemen that we fuel called upon to congratulate both oar readers and oar* self that their aid was secured. If TiHraar is tbe poor man's friend, as he *prei?n& te be, %by does he seek to take the % lax from property and place it upon the ^ft?t?daal. Think about that $3.00 poll ax. Jones,tbe Democratic candidate for Govern or of Alabama has defeated Kclb tbe bolting Alliance candidate by 50,000 majority. This is good news, and Alabama is to be congratu lated. JThe roles adopted by the Bicycle Clib are commended to the attention of all'*our citi *eas. If others will do their part we are con talent the bicyclists will.ose every effort to avoid, accidents. The rules are evidence of. It is apparent that tbe Homestead Strike is almost at aa end. Twenty-fire of the skilled workmen bare made overtures to be taken back by tbe Carnegie Company. The Com pany will re-eraploy all .workmen on tbe terms orguially offered them. President Harrison's production making October 21st a general holiday, is given in another column. Similar proclamations , have already been issued by the Governors of j New York, Illinois, Minnesota and Florida. It is to be hoped that the Governor of South Carolina will do likewise. The people of Inno, Lexington County, Tatsed a mob on Sunday night for the purpose *>f taking George Kinard from the Lexington ytli and lynching him, but he was taken to Columbia before tbe mob reached Lexington. . Kinard was accused of assaulting Mrs. Robt. < Addison a respectable white woman of Irmo 'S*be Sheriff of Lexington deserves credit, for by bis promptness he saved tbe prisoners life. Bow will the poor, but honest, man relish being hired by tue county to a road contract er to be worked along with tbe county con victs. Have yon read Tillman's road law which provider that unless a man pays $1 50 road tax be wili be compelled to work eight days on the road, under a contractor, who will pay the county 50 cents per day for his -Services? Got. Tiilmao says that Sheppard and Orr will not recieve mere than 24000 votes of tbe 95,000 that wUl.be cast; in only six coaoties, Richkod, Charleston, Fairfield, Sumter, Beaufort and Georgetown?will they receive an average of 1000, and in tbe remaining counties the average Conservative vote will not average more than 600. He will be forced to revise his estimate after tbe primary, for mat 50,000 majority is but an idle dream. The following, taken fron an exchange, may be true or not. We, at least, hope it is, and feel that all men that bave been so unfortunate as to tread on a demi agree with as. "The sensible woman will be glad to (earn that the train skirt is no longer a neces sity, except for fall dress evening, dinner or reception wear. At all pleasurable gather ings where there will be dancing, the regu lation skirt is to be fall, and must just escape touching tbe floor. la 1890 Sealer County fave Tillaaa 838 -votes, and Hasfceil 749?a majrity of 89 for Tiflasa ; in a total of 153?, yet in 1888 Sum ter fare Cleveland a complimentary rote of 1735. Hence it will be readily seen that those voters* who would not cast their ballots against Tillaaa, the nominee, and could not eoaesiesrtioasly vote for HaskslI, will decide the TiUmae-Sbeppard question in this county. THE FINAL EFFORT. Tinman and his official household are frightened. They see that thefanatie enthu siasm, based mainly on class prejadiee, fanned <o bitterness by themselves two years ago, is dying o*t. They knew that when this feel ing has died sway, tbe back-bone of their cause will be broken, that tbe main-stay of Tillasanism will be taken away, sod that the most potent actor in gaining votes for Till maa will be destroyed. Hence, as a final effort for the retention of power ; as the last, -desperate resort, they hare all, with a com- j aoa purpose, commenced blowing, asTillman I bhnsetf expresses it ; and the effort is to once | j more fan into a blase the now dying embers of class bitterness. Upon this they depend forsoceess. They themselves recognize the - feet, and the Conservatives also know their 'intention: to stir ap bitterness in tbe hope cf regaining lost votes. Mr. H. R. Thomas's statement that Major Purdy, had, in his official capacity re warded negroes for howling at Tillinan dur ing tbs campaign meeting in this city in 1890, istta example of the methods the Tillmanites are resorting to. If Mr. Purdy rewarded negroes for howling atTtllman, as charged by Mr. Thomas, that fact wcild have nothing more to do with the present issue than some of the acts of Mr. Thomas in past years. But the troth or falsity of the charg; whs not consid ered at all. In a case like this, a br?z*n falsehood serves the purpose better than the truth would. The intention was to revive the bitterness agaiosT the town and from this, as the people of the town ebieSy favor Shep pard, to induce tbe country people to Tote for Tiilmao. If Mr. Thomas could deceive oniy a very few persons tn tbe county into believ ing that the people of Sumter, both indivi dually and as a corporation, were opposed to the exercise of individual opinions on the part of coaotry people,and then get them to vote for Tillman, be knew that tbe effort would repay him, for the result would be changed. He selected the wrong man, however, when he made Mr, Purd^ tbe scape-goa". on which to hang his "politics." Mr. Purdy is a man whose reputation for veracity is well estab lished, &tj& when be says that ha did not re ward the negroes for attempting to how! dowo Tiilman, he is believed, especially when so one save Mr. H. R. Thomas makes the ?barge. We wonder if tbe comparison is not particularly odious to Mr. Thomas. Tbe tactics of Tillman in tbe State, at large arc similar to those of Thomas in Sumter County. He appeals to the passions of his listeners and sedulously avoids replying to tbe Conservative arguments against his offi cial acts and proposed measures. When bis proposed road law is attacked he replies fey asking whose wagons cot rats in the roads, the poor man's or tbe rich, and who ought tojjay for repairing and keeping up the roads. Or if his $3.00 poll tax law is shown up in its true relation to tbe poor man, be says that law li intended to catch the negro and fares bim to pay bis portion for the support of the school*. When Sheppard exposes the J unfairness of Tillman'a scheme for holding a j Const:totional Convention, aud advocates amendment* to tbe Constitution by the direct ' vote of the people, Tili man'3 reply is that 1 the people should be ashamed to live under j a Coastiiutioa that waaframed by the Rad- j icals. . Ia Darlington, Tillman read a circular pur porting to expose an agreement between the Republicans end the Haskeilites, made prior to the election of 1890. This circular bad been proven, and published, as a forgery two years ago and Tillman knew it, yet be did not hesitate to make political capital of it. So did Mr. H. R. Thomas use the Purdy ioci dent in this county?knowing at the time the facts, he so perverted them as to serve his purpose ef arousing feeling. But it is "poli tics." No wonder the Tillmanites distrust [ * 'politicians, " for they evidently judge others by themselves. ' TO THE POOR MAN. The State, in speaking of the effect of S3.00 1 poll tax oa the property owners and poor men, respectively, gives the subjoined illus tration. Let the poor men of Sumter Coun ty study the matter and then decide whether they will vote for a man who desires to make this imposition on them : "Now, to make the difference plain to every one between the present system and the one wLsch will be made possible by Tillraan's success, let us do a little figuring. Governor. TUlmau returns bis property for Uxtation at $8,375. It is worth three tlmrs as much, but "we will give him all the advan tage he secure* by the return of $10 cows, $1.33 hogs, $50 mutes and $3.37 land. His 2-miU public sch?bt tax on ?8,3*5 amounts. to $16 75. H?3 $1.00 poll tax added makes bis present contribution to public education : L$17 75. ; John Smith, let us say, is a renter, with I. practica Os no prT?^erty^ -He pays now only/ fSf '"po?rtaxV So we have", as the present 'figures. i t' g. R. Tillman, $17 75. John Smith, $1.00. Under the Til?man-Gary Evans plan of a $3 poll tax. and no 2-mill tax we would bave these figures: B. R. Tillman, $3.00. John Smith, S3 00. As results of the change there would be these gains and losses : Gain for B. R. Tillman, $14.75. Loss for John Smith, $2.00. How many John Smiths are there who want to save"the B. R. Tillmans $14 75 each, at a cost to themselves of $2 00 each?" South Carolina's Health Resort. Glenn Springs, S. C, July 28, 1892. As August draws near, the number of guests, both health aud pleasure seekers, grows larger day by day. At present there is in the neigborhood of two hundred reople at the hotel, besides quite a number quartered at the several private boarding bouses, and there is yet room for other*. August, for many years, has been the mouth when the largest crowd gathers at Glenn's and the pro portion of gay and youthful ple.tsure seekers is then greatest. This season has been no ex ception, for the number of young ladies and gentlemen has had a number of welcomed ad ditions within the p&st few days, aud others ore daily expected. Of amusements^ dancing is the favorite, aud seldom an evening passes without an informal dance. Tuesday, and usually Thursday, evening there is a full dress German, which have been en each occasion, elegant and en I joyable affairs. The German on last Tuesday evening was particularly pleasant, and cos tumes of the leaders handsome and beautiful. The bowling alley is well patronized by those who are energetic and desirous of build ing up a physique, while the indolent give it a wide berth. It is really very fine exercise and at the same time affords as much amuse ment as any game in mind > In the early morning, when many are in dulging in a final nap, two or more couples are seen playing tennis on the lawn in front of the Hotel ; and later in the day, when the weather is not too oppressive, the game goes on, with it3 constant and natural complement ?a harmless fiirtatiou. There are other means of amusement at band, horseback riding, buggy driving, etc., for which a good livery stable affords every facility ; and the fertile faculties of the guests are ever evolving some new way to kill time and have fun. One Georgian actually spends wbole forenoons shooting minnows in four inches of water, with a 32-cahbre rifle. He kills few, but that makes little difference, as he always manages to have a companion and be is an incessant talker. Gleno Springs, it is true has great attrac tions to the mere pleasur*-*eeker, but it is principally to the sick and tired, those need ing recuperation and rest, that it holds out greatest inducements. Here hundreds bare found health, when they had ceased, long be fore, to entertain euch a hope, and each month names are being added to this list. For all 1 euratok disorder*of the liver and kidneys the j water is a specific, it acts so gently and nat ; urmlly that a care is often perfected"before the patient realizes that the water has begun to I act! The .waterSs- most efficient in c!ean?ing ; and rehabilitating a system vitiated and run down by residence in a malarial country. For bowe? complaints there is no remedy equal to the water. There are cases 00 rec ord where the water bas permanently cured cases of cbronicdUrrUetasd dyseutery with : in two weeks. Many of the obscure aud ; compHcated diseases to ^bich women Rre subject, yield promptly to the action of the I water and numbers of cures are recorded. The ionic influence of the water are most beneficial aud efScacious iu such cases. The women have pronounced the water a wonder ful blessing to the sex. Ta&t unfortunate class of humanity?the tired, either those constitutionally that way, ' having been born so, or those with whom it is an acquired habit?find themselves in their element, for this is a most restful place. One may literally take no thought for the morrow, and still be a3 well, if not better off, than his follow who wonders and worries about how be will fare on the coming day. The man with the over-worked brain and shattered nerves, and the one with exhausted body and malaria-ridden system meet, and mutually decide that they are not so bad off as they might be, or as some others are; and gain cheerfuiness from the thought. A person with an appreciation of a certain kind of grim humor can find occupation for that faculty by listening to the various persons re couping their ill*, each one painting his i case in the most sombre hue<s and yet invari- : ably closing his rtarrative with a sympathetic and condoling reference to some one riot pres ent in tine conversational circle, but supposed to be worse off than the speaker. But ail the humor is not grim?far from it There is more reai. genuine humor, because orginal and often unconscious, to be benrd at the Spring in the mornings, or the hotel I porch in the evenings, when the crowd of sociables get together, ?h?n could be collated j by reading bsilf the so-called humorous pub ! 'irakiens With euch humor the hearty ?a'?tih is a consequent result, and they laugh and grow fnt. A crowd of South Carolinians will ?;vk politic? under circumstances even the most unfavorable, and, quire frequently, when Jit is dangerous. Here political discussion is at h J premium, for the men are from all portions of j the state and naturally wish to learn the con I ditionsand sentiment of other sections than their own; and then they have all the time needed. The gentleman from oth-r States take great interest in ;he political situation, 1 and are uniformly in sympathy with Con servatives. But thm is not surprising as nil Democrats of other Sta'.es are in the Con servantes iu sentiment ; while Til! man ism has the sympathy of Third Part;, ites or o'her States. The consensus of opinion amort: the representative :nen here, is that thestrength j of the Conservai!ves throughout the State is greatly in excess of what the Conservatives ' J themselves suppose, and that when t;>e votes j J are counted n?'ier *hr August Primary the ! Tillmanite leader? vrill be the most surprised ! j men seen in the State since top earthquake, j I Organization and systematic work for the] j ?ducation of the vut?-re tell in a campaign 1 like thij, and the Conservative Committee has done good work, it is also said that the j Tiilmariite lenders in almost every county are ! losing their confident assurance und are beginning to jret badly frightened. These repor's show the good results of mnking the fight e.gainst Tillman nnd his coat-tail- j era, even if victory is not won. As an illustration of ?!ie manner residents 1 of other 5tnleg discuss our ''gallant" <Jover nor I will rep^H' as nearly *?.? possible a dia loene i h**rd a few days ago : Georgian (to Flondianj 4iO*pfain. whnt do you think of the Governor of South Caro lina thnt bought, for his own us?*, a fine-tooth com h and maie the State pay for it ?" j Floridian (Removing hnt ard displays a ! very bald pa'e) "Well Sir, be is a younger ' mar, thnn ? ?m?I wouldn't need" one " I .and this was about the Governor of our | State!
