Letter From Sheriff BradIam.

GLENN SPRINGS, S. c., August 18th, 1891.
EDITOR MANNING TIMEs:-We left Man
ming on the morning of the 18th inst, and
arrived at this place Oh the same day about
five o'clock There was great crowd on
| the section wc travelled with, seven coaches,
all clevcrly !illed. not crowded, however.
The Atlantic Coast Line, with It's usual
| wisdom and foresight, sent that genial and
clever gentleman, Capt W. &. Webb, t"
look after the safety and comfort of their
friends, SO We all were cared Tor, and each
in due season was put down at bis or her
destination. We left the train at Rich Hill,
Just six miles from this place, and found
carriages waiting to take Us TO the Springs
for lust one dollar apiece The carriage
which fell to our lot was driven by Il Mr.
| Griffin, very clever gentleman he was, and
with Dexter and Alex" we made the trip
in a short Tune. The section of country we
travelled over is hllly and broken, most Of
the farms we passed are cultivated by ten
ants. The crops are very promising, but
about three weeks later than ours. l don't
think from what see that full crop can
be made.
We meet people here from all sections
representing almost all Of the Southern
States, and they talk freely. find very
few opposed to free silver. none opposed to
increase Of the circulation OF currency, and
none opposed to reduction Of the tariff all
pretty we'll opposed to sub-treasury, and
yet they say we must have relief In fact
there's not as much difference of opinion as
some people think. One man offers the
following in lieu of the sub-treasury: 'Let
the general government loan the States
what money they need, say South Cardinals
loan is 5,000000 and let the State, through
the State bank loan this money to the peo-
pie at two per cent. per annunl. Abolish
the national banks, and secure to the States
their sovereignty and independence. and
then each State would furnish that relief
needed to her people,
From what l hear our honest and much
beloved ex-president will not be in the race
in '92 Villas, of Wisconsin, Palmer, Of Il
linois, Gray, of Indiana, and Campbell, of
Ohio, "laSt, lat not least" are the coming
men. fad also that Tillman is still i'll
the hearts of the people, and will have an
easy lob in '92 to continue his work Of re-
form. I understand the reports which will
be submitted by his cabinet Will make
fine showing, and that another year it will
be simply grand SO may it be. Col.
Keitt. of Newberry, is here talking and
talking-one can hardly tell what he wants.
I think be will be all right ct the proper
time, and that Newberry, with her sister
counties, Will give the grand old Democrat
ic party the grandest victory she has ever
had in South Carolina.
On Sunday went to church and heard a
fine sermon from Mr.. James, a Presbyte.
rian minister. 4 large crowd attended, but
doubt very much if the minister had per-
sonal acquaintance with fifty persons pres
ent
1 am improving some, but not as fast
as hoped for. l had chill the second
day got here, but hope, with the help Of
Glenn Springs water and rest, to get en-
tirely clear OF those miserable things which
have been following me for the last month
or two. We will return on Friday next, in
order that we may attend the meeting Of
the dear old Sprott Guards on the 22d.
Yours truly,
DAN'1 }. BRADHAM.
