A CAMPAIGN DODGE,

we were very much surprised last
week to hear an intelligent man Of
this county refer to the large regis.
tering Of negroes lately as an effort
Of the Tillman faction to capture the
negro vote. The idea is preposterous
Some even go so far, in talking Of the
factional fight, as to designate the
contest as race between Democrats
and Tillmanites, insinuating thereby
that Tillman and his supporters are
not Democrats. Absurd Tillmar
and his supporters are as good Dem.
ocrats as are in the State. It is sim.
ply question of one faction or part
Of the Democratic party thinking that
some of the present officers have been
feeding on public pap so long that
they think they are entitled to it, and
have thereby grown careless in the
discharge Of their duties. It is just
such condition of affairs as we have
frequently had in Clarendon county,
where one faction Of the party sup
ported one man, and another faction
another man. Tillman wants to be
governor, there is no doubt of it. And
we confess, as we have said editofially
a number of times, that we cannot see
any extraordinary prerequisites he has
for the Office, yet, as we have likewise
said, he is certainly man of some
fine parts, and we believe he will make
a fair average governor, superior to
many We have had since the time of
the lords proprietors. We acknowl-
edge that we have no special favorite
for whose sake and for whose nomina
ton we would risk life and limb. We
are perfectly willing to trust the helm
of State to Tillman. We also &C.
knowledge that We cannot understand
the immense amount of opposition to
Tillman. He has fine record as an
uncompromising Democrat. No hint
of corruption has been cast against
him. He has not charged the State
with corruption, but simply with ex-
trsvagance: and that the farming in
terests of the State have not received
the proper attention due them.
His suggestion by the March Con-
vention, while out of the regular red
tape line of procedure, is by no means
an act worthy of such censure and
condemnation. The farmers of the
State, or at least large part of them,
favor him, and as this is the first time
since the days of reconstruction that
a candidate has appeared avowedly as
q farmers candidate, and as he is a
man fully competent to fill the duties
of the office, we think it would SIM
ply be an act OF graceful courtesy for
all classes and cliques quietly to ac-
ouiesce in Tillman's favor. We see no
sin in the farmers wanting Tillman,
and we say let them have him, and
we believe they will get him!
But about the negroes registering
having any effect on Tillman's nomi-
nation. It is, as every Democrat
knows, a rule of the Democratic par
ty that no negro can vote in Demo
cratic primary, unless it is known that
he voted the regular Democratic tick
ct at the preceding general election,
and whoever would strive to produce
a contrary opinion is either unpardon-
ably ignorant or desirous of perpe-
trating gross misrepresentation.

Talks With Clarendon Farmers.

Mr.. Winfield Holiaday was at the court
house Saturday He says that the crops about
Pamela are looking well, and the farm
ers are hard at work The MANNING TINES
is very popular. and Tillman is the war CRY.
Mr.. J. r. Horton, OF Davis, was in town
Yesterday, and said to us: Farmers are
hard at work, with good prospects for fine
crop. We find the railroad great eonve-
nience, and Mr.. Wilson, the president, is
very accommodating to our people Politics
is qniet in my neighborhood, but the major
ity of the people are for Tillman. Have
heard of no candidates yet for any OF the
county Offices.
Mr.. J. F. Richbourg. of Foreston, WAS in
town yesterday. Re says that the political
atmosphere is very much inflated with Till
mania, and that with the exception Of a few
persons his neighborhood is for Tillnan.
MIR p. R. Billups, one of the most con-
seryatiTe farmers Of Brunson's Cross Roads,
was in town this morning, and says that the
crops in his section are looking fine. The
people are chock full of Tillman enthusi-
asnl. and on the 26th day of July every man
that can manage to procure vehicle (and
those that cannot will walk) will be in Man
ming to give Ben Tillman rousing well
come He further says that Wade Hampton
is now in the zenith of his glory, but if he
allows the ring-masters to induce him to run
for governor his political doom is fixed.
Mr. W. T. Sprott, of Jordan, prosper
Gus farmer, was in town Saturday, and says
that the farmers in his section are doing fine
work, their crops are small but good stands
The political situation is entirely in favor
Of Tillman, and only occasionally can be
heard the weak voice of an Anti-Tlllmanlte.
Mr.. ". II. H Hobbs, chairman of the
Board of County Commissioners, was in
town to-day. He says politics is lively IN
Salem, and that he doubts if there are twen-
ty men in Salem opposed to Illlman. He
thinks Salem will furnish several candidates,
although none are yet announced. The
crops are in fine condition in Salem.
The News and Courier reports DR.. ". H.
Reynolds, Of Packsville, as saying: "My
impression is that the Alliance in our coun-
ty is being used by its leaders for the pur-
pose Of aiding the candidacy Of Mr.. Tillman.
They all recognize that this is not the legit-
innate aim of the Alliance The Alliance is
however very much divided in its support
of the March Convention suggestion Mr..
Tillman has strong and influential worker
in one of our county Representatives. The
leaders of the old Democracy are not yet as
heartily at work as the Tillmanites. The
sentiment ID favor of Tillnlan has, think,
reached its height in our county, and is
rather on the decrease.

pepsia. Read the following:
AZ have been troubled with dyspepsia. had

feeling, as though had not eaten anything.
Hoods Sargapariua did me an immense amount
Of good. II gave me an appetite, and my food
relshed and satisfied the craving had previously

A WOMAN'S FOOT.

What Its Dimensions Should Be, and
 How It Should Be Used.
 A wOman'S foot should be in length little less than One-seventh of her height; it should be arched on the top so that the line is that of one-half of Cupid's bow, and underneath so that if it is wet and set on the floor it will leave in the middle Onlya slender water mark, broadest across the ball; the rosy toes, of which the second should be the longest, should spread flat upon the ground at every step. The heel should be rosy and descend almost in straight line from behind, the ankle delicately rounded. The soft and cushion-like in- step should be marked by faint blue veins.
 The foot, says the New York Journal, donctes character, as well as the face.
 Ladies of Spanish descent have the smallest feet. For long time Spanish etiquette forbade a woman's foot to be seen. Hence the old adage that ''to know the length of woman's foot was to enjoy great degree of favor."
 Women should walk from the hip, the waist being still, except from that gentle willowy motion which accompan- ies the most graceful figures.
 One of the best modes of attaining this walk from the hip is to practice walking with something poised on the head. The graceful Hindoo girl can carry pitcher on her head unsupported by her hand, because she moves from the hip, not from the waist or shoulder.
 Most American women walk badly. A peculiar fact about many New York women with very small feet is that they walk with heavy, humping step, as if they were club-foOted. This may be due to the fact of tight shoes, for it is almost an invariable weakness of ladies with naturally small feet to pinch those members unmercifully.

WITNESS AND JUDGE.
A Victim of the Law Fined for Giving u
 Court Good Advice.

victim Of the Law Fined for Giving the
 Court Good Advice.
 An amusing scene was recently en- acted in country courtroom in Maine, says the Lewiston (Me.) Journal. The trial justice, big, pompous official with a voice like a trombone, took it upon himself to examine witness, a little, withered old man, whose face was ring.
 What is your name?" asked the jus- tice
 "W'y, squire" said the astonished wit ness, ''you know my name as well as I know yourn."
 ''Never you mind what I know, or what l don't know," was the caution given with magisterial severity. Il ask the question in my official capacity, and you're bound to answer it under oath"
 With contemptuous snort the wit ness gave his name, and the questioning proceeded.
 Where do you live?"
 "Wal, 1 snum!' ejaculated the old man. "W'y," he continued, appealing to the laughing listeners, 'I've lived in this town all my life, and sos he," pointing to the justice, ''an', bgosh, to hear him go on you'd think"
 ''Silence!" thundered the irate magis- trate. Answer my question or I'll fine you for contempt of court"
 Alarmed by the threat, the witness named his place of residence and the examination went on
 ''What is your occupation?"
 ''Huh?" A
 What do you do for living?"
 'Oh, git out, squire! Just as if you don't know that tend gardens in the summer season an saw wood winters!" ''As private citizen do know it, but as the court know nothing about you," explained the perspiring justice.
 Wal, 'squire," remarked the puzzled witness, eff you know somethin' outside the courtroom and don't know nothin' in it, you'd better get out an let some body try this case that's got hoss sense."
 The advice may have been well meant, but it cost the witness ten dol lars.

UNDER RECOGNIZANCE.

How Georgia Judge Disposed of Tough Boarding House Ham.
 ''We had all been attending court on the blank circuit" said an old lawyer to an Atlanta Constitution man, ''and old Judge Wisdom had presided with his usual dignity. In the town of Hardluck we had finished the weeks business, and were all seated at the table of Mrs. Edgecut's boarding-house, finishing the farewell dinner.
 ''Mrs. Edgecut had been very kind and attentive to us all during the week, and that day she was more considerate than ever. On the table reposed cold boiled ham, as hard as hickory maui and as stale. We had cut, and hacked, and chipped from it's callous surface all the week, and still it came up fresh and smiling, the center dish on the table meal after meal.
 Gentlemen, ahem!' said Judge Wis dom; conduct yourselves with proper department now Then, rising from his seat he began: TO all and singular the sheriifs, cOnstables and other off, cers of the coenty aforesaid, greeting; I recognize this ham, and do hereby command said ham to be and appear at the fall term of the honorable superior court in and for said county, and to ap- pear from day to day and from term to term until properly dismissed by the court
 "Great gunsl Old Mrs. Edgecut had stood in the corner, arms folded and smile of pleasant anticipation on her face when the judge arose, but as he proceeded she stood mute and paralyzed for moment, and then burst forth such torrent of abuse and invectives as we had never heard before. Judge Wis Eom's conclusion was drowned in the ltorm of her wrath"

NEWSPAPER FAKES.
4 Name Applied to Imaginative Pieces ( News.

4 Name Applied to Imaginative Pieces of News.
 Many interesting stories could be told by some newspaper writers if they choose as their subject the significant little word ''fake''
 Years ago, observes the New York Commercial Advertiser, when the ''moon hoax" was printed in the Sun, ''faking" was known as ''hoaxing." Asit became more and more common in certain news papers, particularly during the war, a fake was called canard. At last an apparently suitable name has been found for a falsehood clothed in truth ful type. Imaginative pieces of news are now called simple ''fakes."
 Fakes are often killed in their infancy or before they appear in print to go be- fore the world as genuine news. An in- stance of this kind occurred recently in the editorial rooms of a morning paper. It was midnight when newspaper writer of note hurried into the city de- partment and whispered hurriedly into the ever-ready ear of the night city editor
 Ut must be a good beat to be worth S50,' said the editor. What is it?" There was more whispering by the newspaper writer, low whistle from the editor and nod of approval. Half an hour later the copy of ''an exclusive sensation" lay on his desk and the news paper writer was hurrying to the count ing-room with an order for $50 in cash.
 But the story never appeared, although it had narrow escape. The plot was laid in Washington, but through one small error the hoax was discovered. While tEe writer acknowl- edged the fake he unconcernedly ex- cused it by saying that he arrived in town without his pocket-book and had to raise money immediately"
 Other less daring fakers confne them selves to bogus interviews with promi- nent persons in stories that are published as rumors in one edition to be con- tradicted in the next. Some fake writers delight to write wonderful yarns about actors and actresses. Jay Gould has furnished columns of clever fakes in his eventful career, while MT. CI0HcIdI1u, OoAeId1 OHerIHdL, OHduuC6y M. Depew and numher of other not able men have been victims of fakes, many of which have almost passed as facts into history of their lives. As a specimen of the genuine flake" the Hayes chicken-raising story may be cited. Many persons believe to-day that Rutherford B. Hayes, once President of the United States, is raising chickens for pleasure and profit at his Ohio home. That story was an amusing ''fake," and it lived.

LONG TOM FLETCHER.
How He SiIenced Hostile Meeting and
 Had Things HIS Own Way.


 How He Silenced q Hostile Meeting and Had Things HIS Own Way.
 "Long Tom Fletcher" is one of the conspicuous figures in the streets of Washington. "Way down" in Missouri, and ''befo' de wah," the Colonel, who afterward became the first Republican Governor of Missouri, was known throughout the State as the best shot within it's borders. He thought nothing of throwing a silver half-dollar up in the air and hitting it with pistol ball, and he had so frequently competed with a pistol at forty yards against rifle at two hundred, that the country yokels would no longer permit him to enjoy those trials of craftsmanship at the county fairs. In the early days of 1861, says Washington correspondent of the New York Tribune, when politics were red hot in the State of Missouri, ''Long Tom Fletcher was once billed to ad- dress meeting in a country town upon the burning questions of the hour. It was generally understood before the au- dience assembled that certain ruf1ans in the neighborhood had pledged them selves to break up the meeting and make things lively for the orator of the occasion besides. Evidence of stormy times ahead was by no means wanting the moment Fletcher stepped upon the platform, but coming forward he quietly placed large Colts army revolver upon the table and addressed his audience as follows, with a pleasant smile, and in -s
 ''GENTLENEN: understand that there are some among you here who differ slightly from me in politics, and that you propose to start riot upon this occasion. Now, this is a free country, and speech and opinions are free to all, so want it distinctly understood" d"-and here he significantly tapped the weapon beside him-''that If any of you think you can get away with me you can just wade right in and help yourselves"
 ''Well, sir," said the Colonel's friend, who told me the story, Fletcher just went right for 'em, from the word go. And, would you believe 1t? Those same fellows who were so sanguinary before, now in sight of that shooting-iron, lying there so peacefully and lamb-like, began presently to shout: Right you air, Cunel! Yew jest give 'em thunder, an weuns II stan right up fer yew every time, yew kin jest betr
 ''This incident," remarked my in formant, ''aptly illustrated the curious fact that even inanimate objects are gifted, at times, with remarkably per- SuaSiVe elOouence."
