PALMETTO POLITICS.
Tillman Still Stirring Things Up. A Bit
ter and Heated Contest.

[SpFiai Correspondence Of the Sentinel.
SPARTANBURG, s. c., May 25th,
1890. T-.oince my last letter was writ
ten, it looks very much as if Capt.
Tillman is to b. the next Governor of
South Carolina. He has gained
ground by declaring that he is in favor
of maintaining Anglo Saxon suprem-
acy at all .sts, and that he will with
draw frosn the race unless nominated
by she ssgular Democratic convention
which is to meet in September. Till
then he will make an aggressive cam
paign and will probably capture a
majority of the delegates. His oppo-
nents hope, however, that by the time
the convention meets in September
that he will have hung himself in his
own halter by reason of his rashness.
His main stock in trade is, that the
present State government is in the
hands Of an expensive ring, that it is
time for new deal. He claims that
the farmers ought to have showing
for the best offices; he is in favor OF
reducing taxation by abolishing some
of the offices; and that the basis of
representation in the legislature should
be changed.
AS there is considerable discomfort
among the farmers, because of high
taxes especially, it is not at all improb-
able that Mr.. Tillman will be elected.
He has nerve and courage, but his
great drawback will be that his ag
gressiveness is too sweeping. If a
Tillman legislature is elected it is
feared that the appropriation to the
University will be re luced and that
all State support will be withdrawn
from the Citadel. This fear, of course,
alienates many conservative men who
would otherwise be his supporters.
Mr.. Tillman, too, is Extensively per
sonal in his speeches. He is too fond
of calling people liars and thieves. If
he ends the campaign without having
half dozen fights, it will be a great
wonder.
Ofthree leading daily papers in the
State, he is supported by the weakest
the Charleston Worthwhile the
Ne.ps and Courier and the Greenville
Ne,cs are both his opponents. The
Greenville Ne,cs is an able free. lance,
in sympathy with the farmers move
ment as rul :, but does not hesitate
to oppose Mr.. Tillman.
Public opinion has not yet crystal
lied in favor of gubernatorial candi
date to oppose Tillman. Many are
looking to Col. J. l. Orr, of Green
vile, as the coming man, while Ex-
Gov. Hago ID aud Ex Gov. Sheppard
are mentioned. It was rumored that
Hampton was to be brought back from
the Senate to make the race, but this
is not true. He has signi6ed his will
lingness, however, to take hand in
the campaign if his services should be
needed. Hampton's successor will be
elected by the next legislature, and if
Tillman legislature should be elec
ted, Hampton's successor might be no
other than Capt. B. r. Tillman.

Cures Cancer of the Skin.

Mr.. A. c. Tilly, of Arcadia, La,
writes the following under date of
March 25th, 1889: "I have suffered
with maligant form of scrofula for
twenty five years, which afterwards
developed into a cancer. In 1875
l had the cancer cut out, but
not cured. Shortly after this the
scrofula broke out all over my read
and body in ulcers and eruptions, the
ulcers were full of humor and contin-
ually running. l was in such horrible
condition from its effects that could
not sleep, ard the strain on me was so
great that feared would loose my
mind. 1 consulted physician after
physician and took thousands of dol
lars worth of medicine without receiv-
ing any benefit. Early In the spring
of 1888 was Induced to try Swift's
Specific Is. S. S.. That medicine had
a wonderful effect on me, and in a
short time was entirely cured of the
cancer and scrofula that had suffered
a living death from for twenty five
years."

MONEY SAVED TO THE STATE.
An Important Suit Decided in Favor of
the State of North Carolina.
[From the Charlotte Nsws.]

Gn0 STATE OF NOfGn OarOnna.
From the Charlotte NsUs.]
North Carolina, by decision of the
United States Supreme court, is saved
$4,000
This is how it comes about.
The general government before the
war had invested a large amount of
the Indian fund, in certain class of
bonds issued by the State of North
Carolina known as the CONSTRUCTION
Bonds ofythe North Carolina Railroad
Company"
The bill for the compromising, ad-
justing and settling the State debt,
authorized the issue of new bonds for
the principal Of these old bonds. The
new bonds bearing the same rate of
interest, (namely, 6 per cent? with
the stock of the North Carolina Rail
road owned by the State, pledged as
collateral security for the payment
of these bonds. The amount in suit
is just the interest, (s47 .OO0,) due on
these bonds, and the Supreme cou<t
has just decided it in favor of the
State.
These old bonds held by the Indian
fund, are the only remaining ones
unadjusted, and will now be exchang-
ed for the new bonds at saving to
the State of nearly fifty thousand dol
lars. Gov. Fowle was instrumental
in having this question left to the Su
preme court for their decision. He
has acted eininently wise aud conser-
vative. This is the final settlement of
the 100000 of bonds known as the
Construction Bonds of the North Car
olina Railroad Company.

THE SCALES FROM HIS EYES.
A Former Philadelphia Republican Now
Wants to Kill ingalls,.
[Fyom the Salisbury Natchman.]


[Fyons the Salisbury Hatchman.1
A citizen of Salisbury drifted into a
con- nversation with fellow passenger
on a r. & D. train lately and was en-
Lertained. The passenger was Phil
adelphia physician, former Repub.
licap and ultra red shirtist, a follower
of Filter and a believer in Ingalls,. It
seems that his physical condition this
winter presented him two alternatives.
One of them was rest in a Southern
climate and the other the narrow
house. Hesitating between two re-
puted evlls, he finally chose the former
and went to spend some weeks in Lam
caster, S. G. He was now returning
refreshed and strengthened. More
over, he had accumulated store of
useful information.
Said he, 81 was almost afraid to 90,
SO thoroughly was I iadoctrinated
with the bitter creed Of bloody -shirtism.
After l had gotten there, and when
next day local physician found me
out and called on me, was disposed
to be offish. When he invited me to
drive that afternoon was at first
surprised and then delighted over the
pleasing nature of the result. When
he asked me to tea the next evening I
was eager to go. / wanted to see the

when house after house was opened to

The Tariff Cost of Being an American.
[ From the Ne,o York Herald. I

Mckinley prices to Americans are
going to be higher than present prices,
for the Mckinley tariff puts higher
duties on almost everything that
Americans use. But prices to for
eigners are to be as low as ever.
The tariff cost of being an Ameri-
can citizen is SO great that it would be
money in his pocket to make himself
foreigner. The highly protected
"home manufacture" lays his heavy
hand on the American citizen, and
that is what he wants a tariff for. For
Under the present tariff aud before
we get to Mckinley prices American
axes cost American citizens S7.76 per
d zen, but the same axes are sold by
American manufacturers to foreign
ers for $6.75 per dozen. A plough
for which the American farmer is
charged by the American manufac-
turer $11 is sold to foreigners by the
same manufacturer for $8.4O, A
plough for which the American man
ufacturer charges his fellow citizen, the
American farmer, $500, the same
manufacturer sells to a foreigner for
$504. For gang plough the Amer
ican manufacturer charges the Amer
lean farmer $3.50, but he charges the
foreigner only S52 90. For dozen
shovels the American manufactures
charges his fellow citizen 1920, but
he lets the foreigner have them for
1886.
The copper lords having got in 1861
SO heavy duty on foreign copper. ore
as to exclude those ores entirely, and
thus give them a monopoly of the
celebrated "home Market" have for
many years sold the surplus copper
in Europe cent or two per pound
cheaper than they woald sell it to
Americans, to the great injury of
American copper workers and the de-
preston Of the wages of this large
class of mechanics.
What is the use of being Ameri-
cans when laws are SO "fixed" that
the protected manufacturers are en-
abled to charge and do charge much
higher prices for their protected pro-
ducts to Americans than the charge
for the same goods to foreigners?

side struck soldier squarely on top of
his head. 1t ripped around his scalp,
went down the back Of his neck,

took down one of his legs ond came out

Just after the explosion of the mine
at Petersburg, party of Confederates
found negro soldier pinned to an oak
tree with ramrod. Pete McLlucb

in the charge on the crater, when he
saw d negro soldier sitting down at the
foot of tree eating piece of corn

fastened in his gun, but he took aim at
the negro and fired. The ramrod
went through him and imbedded itself
in tree, securely pinning the colored

Two years ago when he was a can

that party had no organization in
