ing, and has, we learn, informed the
State Executive Committe that they
prefer no campaign day in that coun-
ty as they do not care to hear any OF
the candidates speak. The action of
these two counties is reprehen-
sible, and especially so in the case OF
Georgetown. The executive commit
te of this county has coolly and delib-
erately, believing the sentiment to be
Anti-Tillman, called convention be-
fore the day appointed for the candi-
dates to speak, to elect Anti-Tillman
delegates. Hampton county, on the
other hand, acted hastily and in the
heat of provocation. A convention
was called in Hampton for other pnr-
poses than to elect delegates to the
State convention, but among the first
things done in the convention was for
the Anti-Tillman men to Introduce a
set of resolutions condemning I'LL
man and the March convention. 1t
so happened, as will be the case IN a
large majority Of the counties, that
the Tillman influence was IN the as
cendancy, and the resolutions We're
promptly voted down. Then, the
! Tillman men provoked by such con-
duct took the bull by the horns and
elected delegates to the State conven,
ton. This course was not right, but
no more we believe than the other
side would have done had they been
able to pass their resolution. The
Hampton action Was not right; the
GEORGETOWN action will be decidedly
wrong.

Tillmanism ProSpers on Abuse.

FAC-SIMILE, June l9.--Eltor Manning
Times: As have been keeping cool and
letting my mustache grow for short while,
I will set em up few. Not much news
stirring in this section; good crops but no
candidates as yet. or at least none that l
have heard of in the Packsville section.
I notice that politics is getting pretty
hot about Manning on the Tillman question
and the farmers generally, but guess that
won't last very long. think some of those
dudes will cave under before long. They
will get so ashamed that they will act some
thing like onr common toad frogs: they will
souinch their eyes and crawl backwards into
some stump hole. 1 noticea correspondent
of newspaper, signed \, and l think y
suits him pretty we'll. l should judge that
he is crossed pretty much the same way. He
says. II notice some think that the colored
voters are registering so generally in order
to vote for 1illrnan, and if that is what they
are counting on they will be badly left.
Allow me to say right here, Mr.. Editor,
that the farmers of South Carolina don't ask
for any coloreG votes to elect Tillman. They
have the majority to elect him or any other
man they want without the aid Of the col
ored voters. He seems more like he wonld
like to get the colored votes for himself than
any one else. If he wants them there is no
use whipping the devil around the stump:
let him declare himself u candidate and
come out on the Republican ticket.
In conclusion, Mr. Editor, lam informed
by a reliable source that young man
Of your town, occupying an in
fuential position, has said that the
farmers did not have sense enough
to manage the affairs of the State. l will
admit that some Of them are very narrow
minded, but I think that the very worst i'd
lot that we could find among them would
equal this little fellow in that respect. Just
let the little man rear: walk out lawyers and
members of the old ring; walk in Tillman
and reform; that's the way they go. C.B.

personally, and will admit that there was
time when they could and did mould the
political sentiment for this county, and
while they yet have great many admirers
and personal friends. they will find that
their influence is gone as far as this issue
Is concerned.
The people have made up their minds to
support the farmers movement, and all the
wire pulling and political strategy will not
prevent or change them. have been about
considerably within the past few weeks, and
a good portion of my time have been Wis
iting friends and relatives in Salem, and if
1 were to tell you that nine-tenths Of the
people in that section are determined to
support the farmers platform you would
think I was doing some Dragging, but If
there is au Anti that doubts 1t let him take
the trouble to visit that section and be con-
vinced
The recent action of the executive CON-
mittee is almost unanimously disapproved
of, even the few Ants that have heard eX-
press an opinion say that they think it was
step in the wrong direction. However,
clubs will be temporarily organized, and
the officers Of these clubs will have caution
enough to not be caught mapping at the
regular time for recognizing the clubs. On
the End day Of August they will reorganlze
and elect permanent officers, and member
of the executive committee.
hear that some are boasting that this
county will 60 against the movement, an
the prediction is made that Earle will carry
| Clarendon Perhaps those who are making
these boast-predictions can figure them out
on paper, for that is the only way they can
get at it, as the people themselves are the
proper ones to consult, and have consulted
great many and found that Tiliman and
| the platform will receive majority OF al
least FIVE to one Some say that the charges
made by Tillman have been Withdrawn,
and that Col. Dargan made him take water
at Anderson. MIR. Tillman did apologize to
Mr. Dargan for using language about hlm
that he should not have done, and by his
having the manEness to apologize for doing
his fellow-man an lnj justice he has raised
himself in my estimation, for when man
does wrong and becomes convinced OF 1t ne
is not true man if he does not acknowl-
edge his error.
Great stress is laid upon what Mr.. Till
man said about certain senators pepurlng
themselves. Now in the name of common
sense what can you say Of man who taxes
an oath to support the constitution, and
when the constitution requires q certain
thing to be done and he finds that it would
take from certain counties some of their
representatives in the legislature and give
more representatives to other counties, and
thereby defeat certain controlling infu-
ence, what can it be called? Is it perjury,
deception, or wilful misconstruction In
my opinion an oath is a promise to the
Creator, and it matters not whether taken
bya senator or plow boy CONSERVATIVE.

Five 10 One for 'Tillman.

EDITOR MANNING T1MEs:--It has been
some weeks since have written to you, and
in fact had almost come to the conclusion
to stop writing on the political situation, as
see that YOU have other correspondents
whose letters are more interesting than
mine. There is not an issue but that my
neichbors want to know what Pamela Far
mer' or Tom" or '"Fil!man Convert" has to
say, and read with ayidity what they write.
A few of my personal friends, whose
friendship value very highly, differ from
me on the political situation. They seem
to think that the issue before the people is
between Tllman and Earle or Bratton but
I do not think so, and am satisfied that l
am right. The question for the people to
decide is whether or not they favor the plat
form of principles adopted by the Farmers
Association which met in Columbia last
March. If they are opposed to the platform,
then they cannot support Tillman for gov
ernor; but if they favor the platform they
must support rillman as he is the spirit OF
that platform. The opposition admit that
they would have opposed any other man as
bitterly as they are opposing IllIman had
the Association named some one other than
Tilln4an. Thus it is plain to my way OF
thinking that it is not Tillman who is being
opposed but the principles Of the farmers,
q set Of principles that we have been struG-
Cling for until We have grown weary with
waiting, and with no chance OF success with
our present leaders.

There is more catarrh in this section of
the country than all other diseases put to-
gether, and until the last few years was sup
posed to be incurable. For great many
years doctors pronounced it q local disease.
and prescribed local remedies, aad by con-
stantly failing to cure with local treatment,
pronounced itincurable. Science has proven
catarrh to be a constitutional disease, and
therefore requires constitutional treatment.
Halls catarrh cure, manufactured by F. J.
Cheney & Co., Toledo, Ohio, is the only
constitutional cure on the market. 1t is
tnken internally in doses from 10 drops to q

ton was called at Capt. Brailsfords store,

Democrats who felt an interest in the pres
ent political campaign to organize to discuss
the situation and unite for the purpose of
upholding the principles of the March plat
form and more especially to strengthen and
uphold the hands of Capt. 3. r. Iillman,
the champion of the farmer and the de-
fender of the right.
The Pamela Democratic Club was then
formed and the following officers were
elected: C. R. Felder, president;J. NJ. Rich
ardson, vice president; r. B. Owen, secre
tary and treasurer The president on TAX
ing his seat made q stirring appeal to the

PAcKsvu.LE, June 23--Eato Mtnming
Tames:-A meeting of the Dreadnaught
Democratic club was called for the purpose
of reorganization and was largely attended
The meeting was enthusiastic throughout.
1l6 names were enrolled The following
officers were elected: president, Dread
naught Jones; vice president, Sandy Craw-
grit; secretary and treasurer, Collectum
Scribe; member of executive committee,
Fearless Daretalk.l
The following preamble and resolutions
were read and adopted without dissenting
voice:
WHEREAS. The News and Courier, Column
bia Register, Greenville News, and other
papers throughout the State have thought
lit to antagoniZe the Farmers Movement
we acknowledge their right to do so, but
condemn the systematic course of abuse
and Misrepresentation they have adopted,
which, however, has failed of its purpose
and only strengthened our movement; and
WHEREAS The executive committee Of
our county have in opposition to the wish
es of large majority Of the Democratic
voters of Clarendon county forbid the reor-
ganiZatlon of tue Democratic clubs OF said
county until the 2nd Of August next, in op-
position to the recommendation OF the State
executive committee, and by their action
have shown to the people that they desired
to prevent them from discussing the issues
Of the day; and as their action has TO their
great disnlay resulted in closing up our
ranks and wheeling Clarendon into line
solid for Tllman and reform: be it
ReSolUed, That We return our most hearty
thanks to the above named papers and ex-
ecutive committee for the great service they
have unwittingly done us.
Resolued 2, That q page on the minutes Of
our club be inscribed to the defunct bour-
bonism in this county.
Mr. Doggerel Scribble read the following
which which was received with applause
and ordered published:
THE TILLMAN WAVE.
The Tillman wave is rolling On
With q resistless force,
And all opponents one by one
Are thrown out of its course.
The News and Courier with Hemphill
Have tried to stem the tide,
But that it's floating onward still
Can never be denied
Malignant sheet, its prophesies
Like Baalam's always prove
Blessings instead Of curses: lies,
True Democrats don't move.
Our executive committee too
Have followed in the lead,
But will try and show to You
Where they were wrong indeed.
For when a loaded club they took
The Tillman ranks to smash,
They met with such a stern rebuke,
Swift as the lightning's flash.
The farmers more united stand
And with determined mein
Intent at once to take hand
And let it now be seen.
That once for all their rights they dare
Maintain. Though foes be strong
Democracy need never fear
From them aught that is wrong
So brother farmers firmly stand
Mid sunshine and mid storm;
Bear your proud banner through the land,
For Tllman and reform.
