"IloLD THEM Ur TO OBLooUY. TO the
Editor of The Ne,cs and Courier: Some
day s ago Capt. Tillman promised TO "hold up
to the hatred and obloquy Of the State" any
members Of the House of Repl esentatives
Who opposed the reapportionment bill
His attention was called to the fact that
DIR. Sampson Pope, of Newberry, his stanch
supporter and the brother Of the Hon. Y. J..
Pope, one of the lawyers on the tail of his
ticket, had moved in the House to strike out
the enacting words of the bill.
But Capt Tillman will also find that on
the 9TH of December, a. d. 1885, Mc.srs J.
L. rD;iisTow, os Da1 ling ton, aud =. =. s;aT-
ratt, of Union, voted against the reapportion-
ment bill.
Now if Capt. Tillman is man of his word
he must "h4d up to the hatred aud obloquy
of the State:'
j. Z. Pettigrew, of Darlington.
A. A. SarIatt, of Union.
These are&lll his supporters. He can have
more names if he wants them.-Tote Even.
We think our good friend, A. A. Sarratt
voted in accordance with the honest convic-
lions of his conscience, did not commit polit-
cal or any other kind of perjury and does
not deserve to be "held up, to the hatred
and obloquy of the State" for voting against
the rcapportionment bill at that time; but We
cannot see how he can escape being mixed
up with the charge made by Capt. Tilman
against the management of the Penitentiary,
as he has been one of the "visitors" or
Directors of that institution for over four
years, we think.
Everybody that knows Mr.. Sarratt knows
him to be rs honest and true man as lives
a Tillmanite, too-but if Capt. Tillman
"gets his mouth on him." he will think he
has stolen sheep from o neighbor, sure
enough. Don't be afraid, old friend; You
are in the Captain's boat, and he is too
shrewd political helmsman:to capsize any
of his faithful crew.

40 6s W. y.
We have but little time and less inelina-
tirn to knock down the men of straw you
have set up In your communication, but we
will br' eay pay our respects to n few of them
In the first place, surely you do not
"dare' to insiuuate, even, that We assailed
either the political or moral integrity of the
Santnc delegation to the county convention?
IL you DO, you are an apt scholar of boss
Tillmsn, who has been telling tho people all
over the State that there were snakes in
every department Of the State government,
but when Col. Earle asked him to show him
one he could not find single snake, OF
even the track Of one since 1876.
Upon the matter Of the Executive Com
mittee ordering convention, we refer you
to the correspondence between Col. Hoyt
aud DR.. s. Pope, for your spccisl informa-
tion upon democratic methods and laws.
Your unwarranted arraignmeut of Col.
Hoyt is puerils aud without foundation, and
to be plain with you, does both your
head and your natural good sense great
injustice.
| Col. Hoyt bought the Cotton Plant, paid
for 1t, and brought II up to its present pros
porous condition by fair and honest work
for the Alliance; but when the Alliance, the
Farmers Association and the Democratic
party were all merged into new party,
n;der the name Of the Tillman party, or
Tillmanites, rs q consistent and faithful
friend of the Farmers Alliance, and as
n true democrat, opposed TO the methods
adopted by Capt. Tillmsn to secure his own
nomination by forestalling and ignoring the
laws governing the democratic party,
he preferred sacrificing his own pecu-
mary interest TO violating the dictates
Of his conscience in advocating the
election Of Tilluau.
As to your man of straw, representing
yourself as apure democrat, We have neither
seen nor heard any man doubt it. The only
semb!ance of such charge against the fol-
lowers of Capt. Tillman, is tho honest belief,
honestly expressed, that they are good
democrats unduly influenced by a scheming
and shrewd politician and few plant fol-
| lowers.
We regret to find that, like large major
ity Of less intelligent men than yourself,
you have merged oil your political, social,
and (dare we say iD religious principles and
opinions into one individual head-TILLMAN
-aod it really appears to us that you deem
him inf,llible. As we heard q good Tillman-
ite say somc day ago: ''If Tillman was to
steal q sheep from each of one-half the
Farmers in this county 1 believe they
would vote for him. would, know"

TO Marry EIr. Wilkinson, Of Syracuse.
Tho engagement of Miss Winnie Da-

To a reporter, who met her in Mrs

Davis said: Il do not care to converse
about the breaking Of my engagement.
Suffice it to say that no mercenary mo-
tive prompted me in the course decid-
ed to take. Mr.. Wilkinson and sew
cred our relation by mutual agreement
All this chatter about Mr.. Wilkinson
and myself is exceedingly annoying"
she exclaimed. 'Mr. Wilkinson is an
estimable young man. think great
deal of him and his family. That's all
there is to it. As for my friends in
fluencing me, that is absurd. The de-
cisiOn was left entirely to myself Many
of my relatives in the South we're par
ticularly fond of Mr.. Wilkinson. But, +"
said Miss Davis, checking herself and
biting her lip perceptibly, Il don't
think such matters are for the public

self Ny reasons for adopting the
course I have chosen concern my imme-
date family alone. They are perfectly

PANIC IN A CHURCH.

In St Stanislaus Roman Catholic
Church, in the Polish settlement in the
northwestern portion of Chicago, Friday
morning, the pastor, Rev. Father Bar

service for children, and the church was
filed with the little ones. While the
service was in progress the altar trap
pings caught fire from one of the can
dies, and panic ensued. There were
about fifteen hundred children, accom-
panied by their mothers, in the church
at the time. The women and children
became panic-stricken, and rushed pell-
nell to the exits. Those in front were
pressed by those behind them, and lost
their footing on the stone steps in front
of the building. where they wero
trampled on by the fleeing multi

partment added to the stampede.
and in a few minutes ten thousand peo-

the wounded children from the excited
multitude None of the little ones
were dead, but large number were In
