paign of education You will excuse
nc if 7 asll you a question OF two.
First, where are we country people
to get the much talked of education
from? ! take The weekly News and
Courier and Charleston World, be-
sides tho two county papers. Now,
if | take my lesson from the News
and Courier; the World says I am
stuffed full Of lies &c and vice verse.
One paper says q thing is true and
the other says it is untrue. TO tell
the truth, we folk in the back co,m-
tics have no idea as to what Tillman
Will do to better our condition.
Several OF us went to the Pickcns
meeting the other day to hear Till
man speak and learn for ourselves
what he intended to do to make our
burdens SO much lighter. We came
back with no more knowledge than
We went with. There was II lot
of talk about turning out Office -hold-
crs and rings and BOSSES and;puttirg
III somebody else, ! u nothing about
what the other fellows would do for
us when they got in. We all talked
1T over ut meeting the next Sunday
and not one Of us could make heads
nor tails Of it,
We hear Il heap Of tail, of aris.o-
Gratis and oligarchirs. As to the ari,;
tocrat&, L have ALWAYS understood
that all them low country planters
''w"r built that way" and / reckon
Tl!lmn belongs to them, as report
says he is rich. 70 tell yuu the truth
he den t luok like man that wu,lld
wclcomr Il cludh"rpcr to his big
Whit" house and put him in the com
panv room to sleep. In my opinion,
Tic Tll!manS arc heightened folk, hut
that docs not hurt him fr Office if
he Would only show us how he will do
more for the poor cass than The 9th
or hi&h-toncd Governors have done,
hut n"nc Oh us can see as yet that he
will. Ill not not say anything about
tic "Oli%a"ch' for don't know them.
AS to having IN aristpcrut for Gov
crn"r, this State has nlwnvH been
jrroud OF hcr 'hlur hlnuls" and the
poorest among us love to rcad of how
high they stand i'll all parts Of the
world. Take The Buffers, Brooks.
llnml'tnnS, ithcttS, Callou..s, IInvncs',
ail Of those honurcl names of the
"hlurAt Of ih" blue, who docs not
honor a'd revere thcnr! and not II
man III "il the State cam say they
ever oppressed th" poor. Zen will
have to talk Somcthin" else besides
"ar'stocrat to make himself Govern,

Judge Hudson from maxim" his usual

Judge Hudson WAS elected to Office
to administer the law, and not to oc
cupv the time Of ihc court in cXprcss
ing his own cranky notions as to the
prop llcty Of han%ing prisoner on a
! popular vote OF the Jury.

a service, h,;t ii Judge Hudson should
be able I" hang prisoners on II vote

nlar arru,cI persons Mould have no
chance fer life.
just think of the idea Of holding
a primary election tn tnH ou wlrth.
&c Il prisoner should hr hanged.
We cannot think judge Hudson
has ever Thought Of the cMormitv Of
the Grim" that would be inflicted
against Justice in South Carolina, if
las notions of han%inE prisoner on
his Popularity or m,rpu!ariiy should
prevail.
The Same rule governs in the Uni
tea States Court rs uhtnills in the
State Courts. Ii then, Judge Hud-
son $ idea could prevail, every Demo-
cratic prisoner would be convicted in
~" Onhcd States court lay, Radical
jurors, and il the negroes and Radi.
