TiElrnan. The OrifIanme.

ED1roE MANNING Tn1Es:-At a po-
litical campaign meeting lately held
in Columbia, S. c., Rev. Ellison Ca
pers, who commanded regiment and
attained the rank of brigadier general
in the Confederate army, said, "Jim
Tillman was the orifamme of my reg
iment."
The word orifamme was used met
apborically, and in order to realize
fully the compliment paid, its original
meaning must be understood. 1t will
then be seen that no higher praise
could be given by military officer to
private soldier of his command.
I find the following in the chroni-
cles of Sir John Froissart, who wrote
in the 18th century. He is describing
the battle of Rosbecque, fought on
Mount de Or, the Thursday before
Advent, November 27th, 1882, be-
tween the King of France and the
Flemings led by Philip Won Artaveld.
The orifamme was sort OF ganfanon
or red pennon fixed to the end Of q
lance. 1t was a sacred banner, care.
fully preserved, of red color, and
had the name Of St. Dionysius on it
It was never called out but on the
most urgent occasions, when the king
himself was present, and displayed
solely against heretics: 1t was most
excellent banner, and had been sent
down from heaven with great mys'
terry, and is of much comfort in the
day of battle to those who see it. Al

this battle of Rosebecque the ori.
famine was displayed by Sir Peter de
Vilhers who bore it. Some say, as
they find it written, chat it was never
before displayed against Christians,
and that it was a matter of great
doubt during the march whether it
should be displayed or not. Howev-
er, the matter having been fully con-
sidered, they resolved to display it,
because the Flenings followed opin-
ions contrary to that of Pope Clement,
and called themselves Urbanists; for
which the French said they were re-
bellious and out OF the pale of the
church. This was the principal cause
why it had been displayed in Flan-
ders. Proof was made of its virtues
at this time, for all the morning there
was SO thick fog that with difficulty
could they see each other, but the
moment the Knight had displayed it
and raised his lance in the air, this
fog instantly dispersed and the sky
was as clear as it had been during 6
the whole year.
The Lord d'Estonnenort told ne
that he saw, as well as several others,
when the orifamme was displayed
and the fog dispersed, a white dove
fly many times round the Kings bat
talon. When it had made several
circles, and the engagement was about
to begin, it perched on one of the
Kings banners. This was considered
a fortunate omen The King of
France gained the victory.
The belief that the orifamme or
orifame had been sent from heaven;
that the fog dispersed because it was
displayed: and a white dove perched
on one OF the Kings banners, was
due to the superstition and magma
ton of the people of that age.
This battle was fought, and the ac-
count of it written during the dark
ages or middle ages, the period Of
time between the fall of the Roman
Empire and the Renaissance or re-
vival of learning. When knowledge,
religious and political, was confined to
Romish priests and cloisters; when
the art of printing was not known,
and the light of the Reformation had
not shined upon the world; when
might made right, and war and plum
der was the business Of kings, dukes,
and princes. J.M.B
Greeleyville, July ~, 1890.

The Ants are Weak.

Friendship Democratic club was
regularly reorganized last Saturday
with t.centy-seuen members, and part
of these had to be taken from the
Su.nmerton and Fulton clubs. The
new club (Panola), sixty-seven strong,
which was organized a month ago,
was present to a man, and OF course
could have captured the old club, but
they magnanimously agreed to let the
Ants organize separately and thus Sc
cnre the greatest amount OF repre-
.seatation. The Tillman faction is for
fair play, and viii not be found at any
small tricks. After the Friendship
club got organized, and resolved that
no one should be admitted to mem
bership except by two-thirds vote
of the club, they passed resolutions
which will be found in the Summerton
co rrespondence.

The Campaign Liar.

Beware the campaign liar who tells
you something he does not knooo to
be true, but says he hears it is true.
The Ants are using every effort pos
sible to defeatsthe farmers movement,
and mony of them will not for mo-
ment hesitate to promulgate what
they believe untrue. When they tell
you of states, combinations, etc., ask
fol- the author, trace it back, and you
will find not2a shadow of truth in it.
"The Tillmanites are Radicals and
must be defeated" is their cry, and
they will use any and every means to
carry out their purposes.

News from Silver.

SILVER, July 15.-We have our full
share of news this week. We rejoice
to know that our community is pos
sessed with the greatest health; crops
luxuriant; all our farmers wear
smile. 1t is time of activity, energy,
and promise.
It was my good fortune to attend
festival at the Panoia Academy the
night Of the 11th. It was a special
night for every one who desired to
participate in the pleasures of life.
Capt. d. ". Brailsford in his usual
way rendered pleasant greeting, and
I believe everybody had d delightful
time.
On the 18th I attended the reorgan-
ization of the old Friendship Demo
cratic club at Pamela. Efforts were
made to unite the two factions: the
Tillman and Anti-Tillman The Pa
nola club, lately formed, was out sixty
seven strong. No agreement could
be reached, hence the Pamela retains
it's present organization. Friendship
reorganized with twenty-seveu men.
This part of the county is largely Till
man. Mr.. c. R. Fielder, president Of
the Pamela (Tillman) club made quite
a lengthy speech. 1t had the right
ring; the speaker reviewed the past,
contrasted the present, dealing some
heavy blows to the Anti-Tillman fac
ton.
Much comment has been made on
the Sumter meeting. It was the most
riotous and disgraceful affair ever
attended. This is campaign of ed
ucation, but the Anti-Tillman men
don't want enlightenment. They are
responsible for all confusion that day
at Sumter. I regret there is so much
bad feeling engendered. 1t seems to
be gaining strength over here; men
speak rashly, entirely unbecoming
about Capt Tillman, use disrespect-
full language about those OF US who
propose to see things for ourselves
This ought not to be SO, you never
will get all men to think alike; all men
will not vote alike; free speech is one
of the guardians of our liberties; the
right of suffrage belongs to every cit
izen of the United States: to exercise
that right fully is the duty of every
man.
The C. S. & N. Railroad put an ex-
cursion train on the road on the 9th
with certain promises. I Isuppose the
passengers aboard numbered five or
; six hundred. Every delay possible
: was made by the managers of the
train. 1t is charged in common con-
versation that this delay was made to
prevent the Tillmanites from reachin 6
Sumter on schedule time. What sur
prised US more the train was stopped
for three quarters of an hour on q long
trestle. Col Fowler should explain
, why this was done. He is charged
: with having it done; the people de-
c mand of him an explanation. 1t is
e due an enraged community who have
= a right to this explanation: they paid
t their fare; the train was due at Sum-
: ter by his own appointed time but
r failed to reach there on time
It is said that several of our citi-
4 zens have combined to prevent Col
: Earle from speaking at Manning; this
I believe to be false in every particu-
3 lar. We know Col. Ealle's strength
they follow him from county to coun-
ty; the people have their eyes open

SANDY GROVE, July IA meeting
was called for the purpose ofreorgan-

club, but after the cali was made we
learned of the action of the county
executive committe, and decided not
to organize until the 10Th. The SEN
timent of the meeting was solid for
the farmers movement and Tillman.

Doctor Swamp Picnic.

Last Saturday the Doctor Swamp Alliance
and Democratic club had joint picnic at
the residence of Mr. A. c. Lee, about five
miles from Foreston, which was attended
by fully three hundred persons. Every ar
rangement had been made to have things
comfortable. Seats were arranged under
the gin house, but when the hour arrived
for the speaking there were scarcely seats
enough for the ladies, and a great part
of the crowd were forced to stand on the
outside
Mr. J. ". Cole, president of the Doctor
Swamp Alliance, called the meeting to order,
and the exercises were commenced with a
fervent prayer by Mr.. Watts; and in we'll
timed address Mr.. Cole extended hearty
welcome in behalf Of both organizations.
He said that the alliance and club had join
ed in giving this picnic, and that speakers
had been invited to address them, but that
they would not be confined to matters per-
tanning to the alliance; if they desired to do
so they could discuss the political situation,
although the people of that community
were hand in hand in their efforts for Till
man and reform, and while anything in IA
vor of Tillman would tend to strengthen
them, yet they were all fully Convinced that
B. R. Tllman was the proper man for gov
ernor. He then in very complimentary
manner introduced Capt. D. J. Bradham as
the first speaker.
Capt. Bradham in very forcible manner
discussed the issues of the day, and in a
sound and logical argument showed the ne
cessity of standing together. He gave his
