young Brunswick LADY of wealth, ac-

latter. As she went her saddle girth

bred leaves OF the finest rice paper. octa-
gonal in shape, and measuring from side
to side onehalf inch, stitched together
and covered in silk. Nothing can ex-
coed the liGhtness, delicacy and softness
of the material, or the neatness of the
penmanship. This dainty little morsel
of caligraphy. which at the first glance
precisely resembles, in its glass prison. a
very tiny butterfly of some uncommon
kind, is very probably unique in the
western world. How it escaped immi.
nent destruction is not the least wonder
full feature of its history, for it was looted
at Ghanzi in India, by a private soldier
during the mutiny, but it has been safe
in the possession of the Stafford library
for many years. The work has not been
translated, but is officially defined, on
the authority of an Indian scholar, to be
an example of the 'Kathas, or Sacred
Recitations of (the) Mahrattas Brah-
MANS and it is written, without blot OF
alteration, in the Mahrattas character
in glossy black ink, with brilliant mar.

biblical minuteness is reached in this
beautiful little work of art, which, for

THE ANTS WILL SILT.

If Tillman is nominated the Republicans
will put full State ticket in the field, at
least, E. VI. Brayton, chairman of the Re
publican State committee told reporter OF
the Columbia Register so.
The above from the Sumter Adcance shows
exactly which way the political straws are
blowing. It simply means should Earle,
Bratton, or any other man receive the NOM
ination of the State Democratic Convention
then Tillman and his supporters will fall
into line like true patriots, and support the
regular ticket, but, on the other hand,
should Tillman be the nominee, then, per
instructions of the Anti conference, Earle
and Bratton and their followers will split
and unite on Brayton or some other Radical
for governor. Bosh! Disgusting! Col.
Earle and Gen. Bratton and thousands OF
their followers are too noble and true to for
moment entertain such an idea. Though
they may not personally like the man, yet
when Tillman is nominated in September
these gentlemen will fall into line and press
to the front as boldly and fearlessly as ever,
or we are most woefully mistaken IN the
men. A few of the Ants would love to
split, but these wayfaring brothers will be
hogged into line.

Aiken Did Not Insult Senator Hampton.

AIKEN, July 12.-The following resoll-
tons were adopted by the Aiken county
Democratic convention, July 10, 1890:
'.WHEREAs, at campaign meeting held in
the town of Aiken on June 81, 1890, the
Hon. Wade Hampton was present, and pre-
sented by the chairman of the Democratic
party of Aiken county to address the peo-
pie; and upon presentation he received m
ovation from the people, and no interrupt
ion OF any kind or character occurred until
the speaker compared the movement headed
by Capt 3. Il. Tillman to that of the Ma
hone of Virginia; that thereupon there was
m outcry from the audience that we are
not Mahonites, neither will We ever be, nor
is Capt Tillman Malone, AMI cries Of Till
man, Tillman' were uttered, and several in
the crowd were heard to say General, we
followed you through Virginia in '6l, but
we are following Tillman in '90;' and where
as the News and Courier, to carry ont its
nefarions scheme to override the will of the
people, has published to the world that the
people of Aiken were roughs and wanting
in manhood and they had insnlted the hero
of '7G; Therefore be it
''Resolred Thai we, the people in conyen-
ton assembled, denounce the vile and SIAN
derous reports as published by the News
and Courier to be maliciously false.
80. That copy Of these resolutions be
sent for publication in the Charleston World
and the News and Courier.

day. Suppose some foolish Tillman man
had said that it vas intended that Earle
should not speak, were the Sumter people
50 foolish as to believe it expressed the SEN
timent of any considerable number No,
the first wrong WAS with the Ants, who at
tempted to howl down Wllman. That was
radically wrong. And then in the heat OF
the excitement the other side naturally at
tempted to correct it by doing another
wrong. Had there been one or two arrests
in the beginning, while Tillman was speak
ing, it would have saved Sumter the dis
grace of that meeting. We are told that
there was secreted on the court house square
!; number Of rifles. Is this possible Brother
in arms against brother! We are told that
company of little boys was organized to
howl 1illman down. SIrely this cannot be
true Of our mother county. We are told
that the Columbia brass band play ed twice
while Tillman was speaking. We are not
surprised at this.
Well, when the candidates come to Man
ming we shall endeavor to show onr sister
town how political audience should be-
have.
We give below three separate accounts of
this meeting, and our readers may form
their own ideas as to the fairness and truth
fulneSs of each account.
