sentenced last Tuesday to be hanged
September 5th.
Manning must have a railroad to
the C. S. & n. line. Something must
be done. Is it impossible to get our
business men to see the great and
absolute need of this road? Are they
asleep to their interests? Wake up!
Inaction means death!
On our first page will be found a
ticket suggested in the Augusta
Chronicle: It's anything to beat Till
man, but the farmers Of this State
will not be sidetracked by any such
tricks: they viii stand by Ben Iiliman
till he is fairly elected.
Commissioner OF Agriculture But
ler's reply to Tillman's charges will be
found on the first page. He deals
largely in vituperation. "Panola IN
a communication in this issue dis
cussss this letter, showing that extray-
sgance has not been wanting IN the
Office.
Mr.. James E. Tindal has declared
himself 8 candidate for the Office OF
Secretary OF State, and he will make
an excellent officer. He is IN every
respect fitted for the position, and
viii be an able and conservative ad-
wiser in Capt Iillman's cabinet. he
viii be elected.
Politics continues warm and excit-
ing, bnt we are glsd to say that the
bitter feelings that were brewing in
the beginning of the campaign are
fast dying out, and friends are dis
cussing the political situation in a
friendly spirit, each man giving to the
other the right af his own opinion.
Some persons in this county say
they viii not vote for any i';;l!2o,snits
for a county Office. Such talk should
stop, but if that is the proposed trick,
It's game that both sides can play
at We have counseled moderation
and conservatism, but such talk as
this viii not do, and we propose
keeping the people posted.
Democratic clubs are being. organ
izsd in every part of the county, and
the action of a majority of the county
executive committee is thus condemn
ed in the strongest possible manner.
The people are right in THIS acting.
They have rights that should be re-
spected, and when a very large ma
jority rightly demand a thing. very
small minority should not thus at
tempt to keep it from them.
On our first page viii be found a
condensed account OF the campaign
meetings held last week. These ac-
counts are impartial, the intention
being to give each candidate fair
showing, and while necessarily brief,
yet they win give a fair idea of the
extraordinary enthusiasm and success
Hnman meets wherever he goes. In
every county yet, except at Columbia
yesterday, Tllman has had the people
with him. Some claim wave OF re-
seton follows him, but the September
viii show him to be on the
topmost crest of popular enthusiasm,
riding proudly into the gubernator1al
chair.
We don't believe in cursi1ss SID
swearing, and think all ms should
let their conversatiSas s Zee from
slang and oaths y siy all public
men do CUT drink, and good
many pay their debts. If Ben
= 1appens to let "cuss word
has lips it's awful: if another
Hdate does likewise, it's nothing.
Gilman should not curse, and we
hope ne Will let # alone. but we have
no idea he can do so until the present
canvass is over. Everything Tillman
does and says is contorted into hage
mountain; but the people will not be
thus bamboozled, and Tillman will be
elected.
It win not do this year for any club
20 organize by simply taking its last
yeas's roll and adding new names to
it. So many new clubs have been or.
ganized that the only proper way i,
TO reorganize entirely with new club
roll, which should be signed by every
) person who is member of the club
fhe clubs viii find this actually nee.
esssry this year, and that club that
attempts to send in delegation based
on q lagge unreyised club roll, which
probably is made up largely of per.
sons dead, moved away, or members
of other clubs, viii find that it vii
not work. We are a family, and sucE
bad things Will not be allowed.
We were in Columbia yesterday a
the campaign meeting, and were
pleased with the manner in which
illman conducted himself It wa
an Earle meeting, and Col. Earle wa
the hero of the occasion, very large
majority being Earle men; but Till
man had quite respectable following
both as to the number and characte,
OF the men, and he left the meeting
with colors flying higher than ever
The Anti -Tiilman crowd tried to how
him down, but his followers stood t.
him manfully, and while he did no
have half showing, yet he gained
Eotes, and not one word that he utter
ed would have offended the ears of any
OF the large number of ladies present
If yesterdays showing is fair sam
pie OF the man, he is man every incl
