The Two Revolutions.

Two of the most remarkable
revolutions that ever graced the history
of any commonwealth is now being
enacted in this State. The frat one was
the revolution of '7G, or sometimes called d
the Hampton revolution, and the second,
which is now being enacted, which might
be properly called the Tillman revolution
lin both cases, the public mind had been
preparing for years, under a series of
acts, which showed an utter disregard to
the wishes of the masses of the people.
For proof, seq the reckless bribery and
corruption under the rule of Chamberlain,
ct i'd omne ge'aus, and under the Demo
cratic administration, see the extravagant
appropriation for the State House and
College, and the repeated refusal of the
Legislature to even seriously consider
the practicability of reducing salaries,
abolishing useless Offices, &c, &C., in the
line of economising in the administration
of State Government for an impover-
ished people. Hence, the nomination of
Tillman for Governor was the match
which ignited the combustible material
of an outraged people in these respects.
Such an upheaval has never before been
experienced in this State. In '76 the
revolution had the endorsement Of every
newspaper in the State-in the revolution
of 80. under Tillman, it is an uprising of
the masses of the people against the press
of the State, for with the exception of a
half dozen payers, the entire press of the
State are hammering away against the
peoples candidate for Governor. And
yet, Mr.. Tillmsn is gaining strength with
the masses of the people every day. 1n-
deed, the probability is that by the time
the Convention meets, there will scarcely
be the show of opposition. What is the
moral lesson to be learned from this
anomalous political condition of things in
this State =? Why, it is this-You may
fool part of tie people awhile, but you
cannot fool all the people all the time.
A FARMER.

The County Alliance.

The next regular quarterly meeting of
the County Alliance will be on Friday,
4th July. The election of officers to serve
for the ensuing year, the election Of del
egates to the meeting of the State Alli-
ance, which meets July 23rd, the report of
the various committees, and other busi-
ness of Importance will come up. 1t will
be busy day, and delegates should come
prepared to attend to Alliance business,
and nothing else on that day. The
meeting will convene at II o'clock. Sec
retary Walters will be in the Court House
before that time to enroll delegates. Sec
retaries of Sub. b.Alliances should send in
their quarterly reports and dues prompt
ly, 30 that the County Secretary will
get them before the lst Of July, which is
required by ghe Constitution, and not ex.
pect to make them on the day of meeting,
as it creates confusion and consumes
time, and besides the Executive Commit.
tee has to examine the Secretary's books,
and report ON them at that meeting, and
the County fSecretary's report should be
in the hands of the State Secretary by
the day of meeting.

1t is time 60 be making arrangements
about what tagging and ties that we may
use, and as itseems that the mills are slow
about undertaking to make cotton bag
ging, and it Geems that failure has been
made in getting the tare regulated, we
think it would be wise to take some of
the substitutes that Mr.. Donaldson has
obtained prices on, and buy the heaviest
ne can get. rs long as the tare remains as
it is, We should get all the benefit from it
we could. According to Mr.. Donaldson's
prices we can get 2 or q pound bagging
for seven or eight cents, and it will even
up matters Il little. But we are in
worse condition about ties than we are
about bagging, if the Mckinley tariff bill
passes Congress, and there is no doubt
but what it will, it will increase the price
Of ties so per cent. over what they were
last year. Our members to Congress
make great blow of what they try to do
about tariff reduction, but if they have
said one word or raised a finger to pre-
vent that wholesale robbery of the
Southern farmer, we have been unable to
learn of it. As it seems that all they
were sent there for was to reduce the tar
i'll, We think they had better attend to it,
and quit fighting the Sub Treasury bill.
Practical relief is what we want and what
We must havs. Theory without practice
is worth nothing.

The farmers in this section have been
fighting old General Green" manfully,
and will "whip the fight" if it doesn't
rain too much for them. Some think
cotton is smaller than it was this time last
year, others think it is larger.
We think every one present-and there
was large crowd of them-enjoyed the
closing exercises of Mr.. j. B. Harris's
school, which took place last Saturday
night. In the afternoon very instructive
speech was delivered by Rev. D. I. Spear
man. The other speakers being absent,
there was nothing more-except few
short talks to the little ones-until 8
o'clock, when the exhibition began,
which gave credit 10 both teacher and
pupils. The remarks: "Don't that little
boy speak WELL" and 'Don't that little
girl speak WE'LL" were often heard among
the audience. BY the way, it won't be
out of place to say right here, that the
visitors did themselves great credit by the
good order which they kept during the
exercises. We don't mean to say that the
order was just as good as it should haYe
been during the exercises, for you know in
every gathering there is scme back
woodsman who. poor fellow, doesn't
know how to behave himself, and hasn't
any more sense than to think that if he
takes drink before he leaves home it
will make him look manly, and give him
more "cheek" and more brass" so he
can talk to the girls; but alas !! what a
mistake the poor fellow finds he has made
when he sees all first class people shun-
ming him as they would snake-as they
would q young man or woman-we mean
young gentleman or lady" who chews
chewing gum or any other kind Of cud,
or smoke cigarettes In company. But we
hope the above named class will soon
"play OUT as we believe they will. We
know they are playing out about here, for
the order kept the other night goes to
prove it.
We had tho pleasure to meet, at the
exhibition, one Of Texas's most acconl.
plished young ladies, Miss Pallie Harper,
who is visiting her uncle and aunt, Mr..
and Mrs. Aaron Welborn. Miss Harper
will spend the summer with her friends
and relatives of Anderson County.
Two OF our young mon were talking the
other day whom one said: IT have always
intended to so to Texas somo day, and l
think it would be q good idea to go out
there to get my wife, so she will not get
dissatisfied and want to como back"
Quite sudden idea, isn't it.? We know
how to sympathize with you, young man,
fol- ne have been along there ourselves.

Bruslly Creek Items.

The warm weather and good seasons
have given cotton fine start. Mr.. G. B.
Sheriff has the finest we have noticed.
Mr.. William Laboou claims that on his
fathers place cotton blooms came on the
18th inst. We are inclined to think the
seed was not planted in April.
Mrs. Malinda Orr, wife Of Mr.. Alexan.
dor Orr, died at her home Friday, the
goth inst after an illness of one week, and
was buried at the family burying ground
the day following. She leaves ten chill
dren and many friends to mourn her
death.
Mr.. Richard Davis, formerly of Brushy
Greek, has been to the Indian Territory
but has returned home. We don't think
he will try it again.
The thresher engines are In hearing
again. We think some of them must be
candidates for some Office, or electioneer-
ing for the next crop.
j. w. Wyatt & Co. have fine trade.
We wish them all the SUCCESS that awaits
them.
The ginners try to be the most popular
men Of the day. We think if the seasons
hold out they will all have something to
do this season. Mr.. John T. Long seems
to be wide awake on the subject.
Most farmers are done laying by corn
and stepping around their watermelon
patches calculating how long it will be
before they can handle a few dimes.

The campaign meeting is past, and in
this issue we give both sides the speeches
in full of their candidates for Governor.
This report is correct, and we trust our
people will read the speeches and study
them, and think over them, and tten
when the time comes to discharge that
duty intrusted to her citizens by the
State, that each man will vote according
to his honest, conscientious convictions
of duty. He who votes not thus is not
worthy of the name of a good citizen,
and is not rightly entitled to the right of
suffrage. One other thing we will say in
this connection, and that is that no man
has right to object in the least to the
manner in which his neighbor votes, nor
for whom he casts his ballot. Tillman's
friends have the same right to support
him that Earle or Bratton's friends have
for supporting them, provided it is done
as above indicated, according to conscien-
tious discharge of duty. In this cam.
paigu South Carolina expects every man
to discharge his duty, and we can imagine
that some one is ready to say, "Yes,
here you come with the old cry Of duty."s
Let that be as it will, friend, remember
that you will have to suffer the conse-
quence of violated conscience. God
will hold every man responsible for the
way in which he votes. 1t is very unkind
to fall out with your neighbor as to how
he votes. Just as we'll demand that he
should pray standing, or should use
prayer book, or should not baptize by
immersion. If we are free men, let us
be free indeed. Let no man dictate to
you for whom you shall vote. The time
is coming when we will see what iujus-
tice ne have done ourselves and others
by trying to enforce our opinions upon
others. Men will difer-that is human
experience-but because they differ is no
reason why they should not entertain the
very kindest feelings for each other. We
are all dependent one on another, and
there can truthfully be no class against
class in this country among Democrats.
a man is no less Democrat, and good
one, too. because he lives in town, and
it is very unfortunate that there should
ever have been engendered such feel
ing. L only tends to lessen our useful.
ness one toward another. 1t is wrong,
and We enter our most solemn protest
against it. The people who live in town
entertain the kindest and best of feelings
for those who live in the country, and
there is no reason why that should not
be mutual. We also warn our readers
against listening to one who has no con.
fdence in people who live in town, and
in the press. Snch men it would be we'll
to watch. IF he can see no good in any.
body else, there is apt to be very little
good in him. He knows himself, and
tries to measure all men by the standard
of himself, consequently he draws very
poor opinion of all mankind. We are
sorry to see SO many pessimists IF we
could swap them all off for optimists
what different time ne would enjoy.

tariff might be an important question,
but the tax and lien laws of the State
had done more damage than even that or
the National banking laws. The only
way in the world to accomplish anything.
was to send men to the Legislature
whose positions we're definitely known to
be in favor of the farming classes.
While the value of farms in 1860 Was
100000, and remained the same in
1888, that of other industries had, in the
same period of time, increased from
$500, 900 10 s56, 100000. The farmers
movement was organized not to make
war upon any other class, but to apply a
true remedy to existing evils, and to lift
politics to a higher plane than they now
occupy.
Owing to the approach of the trains no
other candidates spoke. but letters were
read from a number who had failed to be
present. The meeting dispersed, after
giving three cheers for Chairman Orr.

Nearly all the farmers are hollering for
Tillman, and nearly all other classes are
hollerng against him. So we had just as
well take our seats and let the farmers
elect Tillman, for we ought to know that
when the farmers set their heads together
to do thirg they are going to do it.
Let's not take it too hard, but make up
our minds to be satisfied with whatever
the Democratic Convention does at its
next meeting, ANDREW"

The James L. Haven Company's
NEW SOUTH CANE MILL.

THE GEARING is cast separate from
i the Rollers, and is made very heavy,
with three clutches on each Wheel, which
fit into corresponding ones in each Roller,
doing away with all keys and the conse-
quent danger of splitting the Wheels when
they are driven too tight; also enabling
any one to take the mill apart by remov-
ing four bolts.
THE MAIN ROLLS ARE FLANG-
ED at top and bottom, preventing the cane
from passing up or down.
THE SHAFTS are of Steel, and have
turned bearings. The Rolls are Lathe
turned with serrated faces, enabling reg :
ular and constant feed to be maintained.
BRASS BEARINGS.-Both top and
bottom journals run in brass bearings. ma:
king the mill work smoothly, easily and
durably. The step boxes have oil cham.
bers which hold sufficient oil to run long
time, and are so constructed as to prevent
any oil from getting into the juice.
