Victory is Certain.

EDITOR MANNING TIMEs:-The great polit-
ical war in South Carolina is nearing its
close-a war on the one part headed and led
by B. Il. Tillman, Of Edgeheld, nominated
bv the farmers of South Carolina in conven-
ton assembled March 9th, and placed on n
platform pledged to retrenchment and re-
form in the administration Of the govern
ment of South Carolina, thereby easing the
burden Of taxation on the shoulders OF q
now over and wrongfully taxed people. On
the other part headed and led by Earle and
Bratton, both nominated by that magic
word, duty, and in bitter opposition to this
movement
The Tillman, or Farmers Movement, as
il has been generally known, declares for q
government for equal rights to all AID spec
ial privileges to none, the abolition OF use
less offices, reduction Of taxes generally,
and q chance in life for all laborers regar,l-
less of vocation. The opposition known as
Ants have waged the war on their part with
n bitterness unequaled ii the political his.
tory of this State. They have demanded
Tint the DO itical condition of the State re-
main for the future rs it has in the past:
government Of the few at the expense OF the
many; government in which few are
tbonoht worthy OF confidence, and only
those possessed Of family nameS-names
thnt have been prominent in controlling
and guiding the destinies of onr State IN the
past This is as believe their motive,
though the prctext as they would try to
have it appear is to save the State from the
control Of unworthy men But from the
appearance of the political horizon there is
to be a change, for the indications point to
q complete and sweeping victory to crown
the efforts and the untiinching valor OF i
majority of the farmers assisted By as true
and patriotic men and Democrats OF other
vocations of life rs the bright beams OF the
morning sun ever shone upon: On every
breeze that sweeps over our noble Old State
is waited the glad tidings Of snccess to the
farmers movement.
The farmers movement and its supporters
have been a&sailed in every county IN tins
State, and stubbornly opposed on every
hand, and every trick and scheme brought
to bear against it, but to no purpose. tor the
gigantic blllows Of justice and right have
been and are still rolling over opposition and
will end in final elimination ut Columbia
on the 10th of Sept. next. On that day tue
last ditch of opposition will be reached and
the victorious Democrats for reform under
Tillman will cross that last ditch ami Slorl-
riously plant their banner OF reform On the
last rampant of opposition. cLoDAA'HEG.

News from Silver.

SILVER Aug. Z3.-It has been Saiu that
the EYE = never satisfied with seeing nor
the ear Tith hearing" This is pretty much
the case with your correspondent. Itwonld
be utterly impossible to describe recent
visit made to Earccs on the 2ist over the
C. S. Il y. Railroad, to affiliate with brother
Masons in Masonic picnic. Onr party
from Silver was greatly augmented as We
boarded the train. Some from Sumter and
others picked up from Silver added to the
pleasure of the brethren. Col. Fowler was
aboard and seemed to possess all the reqni-
sites not only of q railroad man uut also of
a Mason. Sumter's Auditor, Capt Dalgar
Mr.. Altamont Moses, Mr.. Martin. who is
auditor for the road. Mr.. Rosendor, Mr.
Levy, ]. II. Mahoney, and Your scribe con-
stituted the visitors. A cordial reception
awaited us from every Mason, in fact Dr.
Sheridan. and the WorShipful Master,
Brother Avinger, were all enticing in their
efforts to make the occasion pleasant.
The colored brass band from Sumter Was
on hand, and charmed the spectators with
fine music rs they headed the Masonic pro-
cession to the beautiful grove, some half
mile distant As we gathered around the
stand and looked upon the faces of the fair
and lovely women We could but exclnim,
what beautiful scene. Speeches We're made
by Brothers Moses, Degar, Fowler, Sanders,
and Thomas. The dinner was most bonn
tiful. The evening was spentin social con-
yersation The hour at last came for the
pleasant good-by, and We were soon aboard
the train.
We stopped at Holly Hill. a small town,
but rapidly growing to a city. 1t is inoor-
,xl, ~, ..ti n1
two bar rooms The inhabitants are peacca-
bic and quiet, except now and then wien
some one gets on bender that forces the
policemen to assert their proper authority.
This is our first visit to Holly Hill since a
town. When boy we visited these grounds
but years have passed since that time, and
heads have grown gray, so that many OF our
kinsmen did no. know MS.
To say something of our home matters.
We looked in on Silver the 23rd. Delegates
were elected to the county convention to
meet on the 29th; the same sent before We're
again elected. The colored people had q
large picnic. attended by several hundred
persons Dancing with them seelEcl TO be
the ruling passion. Their department WAS
quiet and orderly. County politics is hot;
Candidates ere still looming up. The field
is full of them. What will be the result is
easily TO be seen. Cotton picking is all
the go.
Messrs. E. P and A. C. Briggs are putting
in operation large machinery to gin cotton,
also to crush cotton seed. They have also
established IN agency to buy cotton seed.
The ladies of Silver have concluded to
give the public the last treat for the season,
O grand festival OF ice cream, &c. for the
benefit of the church, on Saturday the Both.
The drawing for the silver watch will also
take place at the same time. Those who
have chances are invited to be present and
witness the drawing TON.

An Anti Conference.

In the Furstenburg hall last Saturday s.
number Of gentlemen from different sections
of the county congregated, and held a pri-
vate meeting. We did not learn who had
the honor of presiding over this august
body, nor what the object of the meeting
was, but having the honor of being acquaint-
ed with these gentlemen and knowing the
subject that is now agitating their minds.
we can safely say that they did not congre-
gate privately for the purpose of organizing
JOINT stock company, bank, a trust or
any kind of industrial enterprise by which
the laboring man would ges more work and
the merchant more trade. No, these gentle.
men were weighted down with politics, and
being strong and powerfully Of the Anti
Tillman persuasion we think it likely that
at their little private consultation, caucus,
conference, or whatever it was, they wanted
to know ''who would bell the Tillman cat"
and as we believe that the conference was
of political significance We imagine that a
plan of action was formulated for the con-
vention next Friday, and We also imagine
tha, bottles Of eloquence were opened; and
in order to carry out the resolvable mania
they adopted resolution resolving to be
resoluts in purpose Of preventing Tillman
from, being governor.

Dishonest Politics.

Last Saturday at the Jordan clnb meeting
a paper was read. the first part Of which WAS
a notice signed by D. c. Shorter, j. NJ.
Shorter, and r. H. Gaymon in which they
requested that their names should be strick-
en- from the Jordan club roll Below this
was certificate, signed by }. N. Shorter
and R. II. Gaymon, IN which it was stated
that they did not desire their names strick-
en- from tae club roll, and that their sigma
lures to the notice above had been obtained
by gross and malicious misrepresentation.
DR.. s. c. G. Richardson's name WAS in some
way connected with this paper, probably be-
canse he had carried the paper to Mr..
Shorters to be signed, and it was stated
that the misrepresentation was, if Tlllman
should be elected all the property Of the
rich would be divided out among the poor
farmers. As Mr.. Shorter is possessed OF
considerable property, he was, is claimed,
thus Influenced to sign the certificate to
leave the club In yesterdays News and
Courier are atiidavits from the three gen
tlemen above first named, in which they
swear that no such gross and malicious
Misrepresentation were made to them ol
influenced them to sign the first notice; and
thew also state that they were not in any
wise influenced by DR.. Richardson to sign
the first notice; and Messrs. j. NJ. Shorte,
and r. H. Gaymon further state that they
did not know what they We're signing when
they signed the second certificate, but sup
posed it to be simply certificate that they
desired to remain members OF the Jordan
club.
There is something about this transaction
that looks exceedingly dshy, and shows a
piece OF dishonest politics, for which some.
body is responsible. No one for momen,
would believe that Dr.. Richardson was
guilty of so dishonorable an act, as in any
way to grossly and maliciously deceive a
fellow man, and the Doctors many friends
are naturally Indignant at the charge.
Somebody is however, as we said above, re-
sponsible, and we think it is due both to
Dr. Richardson and to the members of the
Jordan club that the matter he properly in.
y.stisated. The aaidavits are. however as
complete yindication OF Dr.. Richardson as
he could desire, though it is to be greatly
regretted that his name should indiscreetly
have been given so nnenvieble and uncalled
for publicity rs to publish these afidavits
in a paper out Of the county, and it was
done without the knowledge or consent Of
,, the Doctor AMI greatly to his regret.
