Mr.. Till1nan Replies.

"Farmer Tillman" rises this week to
reply to the many criticism of the peo-
pie and press on the recent convention
and it's results. He emphatically denies
that it was "Tillman's Convention all
the way through" that he controlled
its deliberations or appointed its COM
mittee on business; but he asserts posi-
lively and boldly that it was repre-
sentative body Of the farmers Of the
State and that time would prove the
truth of his assertion. He indulgeS a
prediction that the farmers Of the
State will ratify most if not all the acts
of the convention. In meeting the OBJ
lection made to the Agricultural Col
lege that it will cost two much, Mr..
Tillman declares that an appropriation
of $4,000 and $4,000 tax on fertilizers
which can be used the first year to
build and equip it, are all the funds he
wants for present purposes. He pro-
poses to use convict labor wherever it
can be utilized, also the chemical labora-
tory of the board of agriculture and to
make up the library out of the agricul-
tural books of the State library and
with these helps heguarantees that the
college can be opened on the 1st of
January, 1888.
We admire the candor Of Mr.. Tillman
and his positive manner in dealing
with the questions before him, but hope
that these topics will engage the best
thinkers, before they he finally determ-
ined upon. In our present condition
it is not wise to hurry over important
matters, but let us work cautiously
and surely.

SENATOR BECK's zeal for the confir-
nation of the Republican postmaster
of Louisville is untempered. Why
should Republican woman be appoint
ed to office in preference to q Democrat?
And why should Democrats ask for
such an appointment? Willis, the
Blairite of the House, caused the ap-
pointment, aided and abetted by Sena-
tor Beck. 1t is avery censurable pro-
cedure and deserves rebuke.

CHARLESTON thinks it outrageous
that she should be represented in Con-
gress by a man from a country town,
and is anxious to send one Of her law
yers to look after her interest there.
This is pardonable enough, but the
gallant sons of Charleston did not want
the position when it required hard
work and money to get it. A country
man was good enough then, and unless
we are very much mistaken will have
to be good enough for some time to
come.

"YEs," remarked the Hon. Posey
Stubbs of the wire grass district, IL
managed to get $4,000 out of the River
and Harbor Doodle for the improve
ment of Bearwallow Creek, but my
constituents have not risen to the
emergency, 1 am sorry to say" "How
is that?" asked the stranger. "Why,
they write me that they can't find the
id creek" cried Mr.. Stubbs in dis
gust. "Did you ever hear of such
stupidity? photographed the blooming
innocents at once to rechristen con-
venient watering trough" The above
pretty well illustrates on what flimsy
ground appropriations are made by
Congress.

THE News and Courier of Tuesday
publishes side by side thu expressions
used in Congressman Tillman's last
letter as to the present relations OF the
Southern people to their fellow-citizens
Of the North, and those used by Senator
Butler upon the same subject in his re-
cent speech to the Dragons. The COM
parison places Tillman in an unenviable
light.

The Reason We are Poor.

The Greenwood correspondent of the
Press and Banner has been getting up
some figures on the amount OF groceries
sold by the merchants of that place
since the beginning OF the present year,
and his figures are no doubt correct.
lie says the following figures will show
the amount of groceries sold there from
1st January to 10th May: 81 car loads
corn, % car loads bacon, $3.50 bushels
meal, 1891 barrels flour and AS barrels
molasses. There is not an article
enumerated in the above list but what
could have been raised right there in
the neighborhood. With such facts as
these staring us in the face should we
wonder that we are an impoverished
people, and that the cry of "hard times
goes up from one end of the State to
the other. The idea of raising cotton
to buy meat and bread is so preposter-
Gus that it does seem that it would re-
quire no argument to demonstrate the
fact to our farmers. But somehow
they fail to see it.

AS will be seen by an article publish
ed elsewhere in this issue from the
Charleston Sunday Dispatch, it is likely
that Mr.. Dibble will be opposed for
reelection to Congress by Mr.. W. II.
Brawley, Of Charleston. Mr.. Brawley
is no doubt a most excellent gentleman,
but we rather think he is too much
interested in railroads and other corpora
tions to make good representative of
the people. There are too many such
men in Congress now, and we hope
South Carolina will not add another to
the number already there. We fully
endorse every word the Dispatch says
is reference to Mr.. Dibble.

UP TO this date the President has IN
all sent about 2,1O0 nominations for
civil offices to the Senate. OF these
LOO have been confirmed and only Ii
rejected. The remaining 400 will be
disposed of in a comparatively short
time, and it is not expected that the
proportion OF reflections will be in
creased. The nominations of Mr.. Cleve-
land, therefore, are treated every whit
as well by a Republican Senate as if
made by an executive of their own
party. Pennsylvania nominations it
had been anticipated would meet
with much objection, but of the entire
$50 sent in all have been confirmed
with but two or three exceptions, and
these are still pending and will go
through. Nearly all Of these nomina-
tions were made ut the instance OF MIR.
Randall, and Senator Don Cameron has
taken as much interest in having them
confirmed as if they were his own per-
soma! and political friends.

REPRESENTATIVE WARD, Of Indiana,
says the Democrats will lose that State
in the next election unless the present
War Tariff is reduced. They will be
hurt in other States than Indiana if
the blood sucking is not cut down. On
the other hand it is claimed by some
Democrats in Washington that they
will gain two members in California
and one each in Louisiana, Tennessee,
Missouri and Illinois. But they are GER
tain to lose heavily in Ohio, Iowa and
Michigan. If the Democrats do not
hold their own in the South and gain
IN New York they may wake up in
November with consciousness that
something has hit them and that the
next House will be Republican.

A Sad Story.

The lady to whom we referred last
week as having been found on the
r,ilrood track and taken to the Cen
trail Hot i, has been the theme
much speculation ever since. On
Wednesday she was removed 10 the
residence of Mrs. S. G. Knight where
she could receive better care than at
The hotel.
Her story is pitiful and calls out all
the sympathy of the human heart.
She saws, in brief: My name is Dora
Temple. my home is or has been In
Louisville, KY, where my father and
four brothers lie buried. Ny mother was
nm invalid, and last Summer we went
70 her sisters at Duluth, where she
died on Thanksgiving day. My only
remaining brother was then sick II
Louisville but soon after started tt
COME after me, but was taken worse a.
Albion. and wrote me. i telegraphet
there and learned that he had started
north. and heard nothing more unit
two weeks ago learned that he ha'
died enroute and was buried at som
place on this line. ] am going to nm
his body and take it to Louisville I
rest beside his brothers.
Supervisor Finn has cndeavored I
ascertain the address of her friends
ms to communicate with them, but
no avail. She persists in asking no II
vors of the kind and declares her II
tention Of continuing her search
soon Us she can move. She is great
Frustrated from shock and exposure.
Mr. Hicks has endeavored by tel
graph. to find from the different agen
on this line il there has been such
death and burial az she describes,
any station on this division, but FIN
nothing. 1t is TO be hoped that WI
returning strength she may reco'
fully n mental powers which SEEM,
this subject, to be wandering, thou
in all respects she appears to be an
ucated and refined lady.

Editor AvALANcHK- May address
you as Comrads. A few weeks since,
l received p copy of your paper con-
tanning a letter copied from the Toledo

fussy little newspaper called the Neto

Gratis and said Insisted that they were.
and are all reb,'ls, andthat 1t would
answer my letternext week, and that
II would take the starch out of me.
The promised answer came, and it
was this: I'VE will bet nickel Edel
man was never In a battle. and no good
soldier will talk as he did, etc., etc. F"
Now comrades. or those of you who
have read my letter, what do you say9
l know that the loyal State of Michi-
gan has for citizens thousands of brave
citizens who endorse every charge
preferred, and who are day by day suf-
fering the consequences of a war that
was prolonged by the actions and in
fiuence of such men as Hendricks,
Voorhees,, Bowles, MilligaD, Horsey,
ct. al. There are thousands of moth.
ers and widows who can testify TO the
truth of what / say, while shedding
bitter teers caused to flow by their
aching hearts. There are Thousands
upon thousands of orphans; empty
coat sleeves and pant legs; cords OF
crutches and mechanical appliances to
assist the Lincoln hiTelings' to wend
their weary way through life TO pre-
mature grave; oil of which is monu
ment of the rebellion. AS | said be-
fore no man can truthtully deny the
guilty participation of the leaders OF
the democratic party during the exist.
ence of that struggle for the Union and
our flag. All democrats were not reb-
els, but all rebels were democrats.

A gentleman well posted in such
matters says that during over 90 years
of observation he has never witnessed
such change In the way of travelling
as during the past two years.
When questioned as to what he
meant, lie explained that up to that
time parties travelling to the East for
business or pleasure would go any way
it'happened. but that now there seem
cd 10 be universal desire to go by u
particular road. lie had reflected up
on why this should be SO, and had CON
cluded It was on account Of two things
scenery and comfort.

whereby traveller could speed on his
way without loss Of time, and at the
