TERRoRIHED UY IiLLMASITEs.-IIome
Union County, July l4.-On Friday nighl
last, the 9Th inst, six men, under disguise
and cover of darkness, at = o'clock a. m
went to the home Of Richard Harris, q poor
inofiensive white man, earning his bread
by his daily labor, who lives with an aged
wife, near Cow deysville. in this county.
Getting him to tho door to open it, they
seized him, dlaggsd him about q quarter
of n mile. where they lieu Lin 10 @ post
blindfolded him and gave him sixty lashes on
his back with heavy wagon whip. After
the whipping they left Harris tiod to the
post, bleeding and suffering terribly. It. is
rnmored that it was all on account of IIar-
ris using his influence to secure votes for
the Sheppard and Orr ticket
Several other parties have been notified
to leave at once or await fearful conse-
quenSe5 These other parties seem to be-
come the 'oHects y! !Lese fends wrath
merely because they support the Con,srva-
tive ticket.
The above appeared in the "The State"
Of last Friday. The circumstances of the
whipping is strictly correct, in every par
ticular, and is fully corroborated, not only
fy Harris but by others living in the neigh
horifood, Will vi lom W. have talked about
il.
But the cause is not so well established
Harris himself is not satisfied that politics
was at the bottom of the affair. The only
reason no gives for his suspicion is some
questions they asked him before iieine him
as to bis political principles" in connec-
ton with those of a well lnown T.llmanite
but who, Harris says, is not 10 the least con
nected with the whipping.
From conversation with Harris. we arc
inclined to believe "here's a woman nj tbc
bottom fit" with some inprudent talk and
a private business falling out with former
employer mized in.
We care not what was The cause Of Tho
whipping, or who did it; il was wrorp: il
was an unlawful act IL was an outrage. bv
which the good name Of tho people of Union
County is seriously affected.
Our correspondent, Vox, intimates that
there are too many Sheppard and Orr men
in that vicinity to make il safe or wholesome
for the friends of Gov. Tillman to attempt
to intimmidate them by the whip,

OURS" AND COYOTES"

The Register chose Sunday morning to
declare. On The authority of an un,denti-
fed correspondent. that during Mr.. Dibble' $
recent conference with Conservatives at
Greenwood the Tillmani,cs were compared
to "curS' and coyotes"
The organ commented as follows
Talk about your SANDER and abuse !!
Has anything been snid or written by the
Rctormers that, for low-down, scurrillous
abuse, can compare with those Greenwood
harangues They show venom aud hate in
the breast of the old ring-rule crowd; and
see ng an overwhelming defeat staring them
in the face, are denouncing, in the most
offensive manner, every man who refused to
vote for their rcorporation-dictated ticket and
the cnslavement Of our farmers and toilipg
masses.
When Sheppard and his friends come
before you and ask your votes, bear iu mind
that at Dlbble's Greenwood meeting you
were compared by one of the speakers to
cur and coyotes"
We think thee for that w !rl. organ
grinder Of short memory For if those
Eorls were used at all they were used with
quotation marks, and were not directed
.ngains, the Tillmanites.
The eri'hct "crrs" was applied by Lieu
tenant Governor Gary, of Abhcvilc county.
1t was applied TO the country newspapers
which opposed the reelection of Governor
Gilman and himself.
The erjthct "coy yolcs' was applied some
time later by the AbbGville Medium, The
local lillman organ, To the same Conscrva-
tive county Papers, because of their oppo-
sitrn to Tilman.
The State, at the time Of their uttcrance,
condemned the use Of these cpithcis, az in-
sulting TO the Conservatives. IL is truly
glad that the Tillman organ, in II moment of
tGrgelfulness, has at last charnct erizet them
even more strongly.
Lieutenant Governor Gary and Editor
Bob lIenphill, you stand convicted. by
Governor Iiilmsns own pant cular, private
organ, OF using ".Ow-hOwn, scurrillous
abus..' You stand convicte of showing
venom and hate in desperation at the
overwhelming defeat which is staring
Jon in face Now, what are you going to
do about it?-We State.

ques ion now in our minds it., if there is TO
be Il continuance of the sae Of liquors that
intoxicaie in the State of South Carolina
then who is responsible for that sale? II
the men of orr land are still to be debauch ed
and made drunkards if the boys are TO be
shared in bar-rooms-"trap-doorS of hell
fthe wives, mothers and daughters Of our
land are to be slain by heart anguish; il the
children are 10 be raised in homes where
comforts give way TO curses, and drunken
mes, takes the place of happiness, then who
is TO answer at the bRr OF God for this con
tinuanceA answer, every man woman and
child that can talk, and plead aad pray
The question is TO be settled Il, our State
primary election as TO whether we will have
prohibition or not. The man who can and
does not cast ballot for prohibition, or
who helps elect legislator who favors the
license of whiskey selling, is to that extent
guilty Of aiding and abetting in this drunk
ard making. The women who can and does
tion is thereby making herself responsible
This is a fight in which no Que can afford to
be either idle or silent. The grandest oppor-
tunify we have ever hal in South Carolina
to drive this traffic from the State is before

TIE VENEZUELAN WAR-Thc New York
Herald of Tuesday published thrilling ac-
count of the rebel chief Guerras fierce night
attack upon the government troops at FL
Guayaba, Venezuela The carnage is said to
have been fearful beyond description.
The manner in which the rovoutionists
prepared for battle gives a good insight into
the ferocity OF these Venezuelan llaneros, or
fighters of the plains.
Awaiting themselves ola terrific thunder
storm to swoop down upon their unsuspect-
ing enemy, Gucrra's savage soldiers stripped
themselves TO the waist, creased the upper
part of their body, and armed with the
machctc stole into the camp of their foo. The
word was given to kill every one who wore Il
shirt, this being the way in which the gov
eminent soldiers were distinguished in the
darkness and storm from GUcrra's men. The
rout of the government troops was complete,
aud was followed up the next day hY another
disastrous defeat Ii will be seen, therefore,
that while Minister Bolet Peraza in this coun-
try was cndcayoring to convince us that
Crcspo's power was at an end the rebel leader
was in reality the victor of one Of the blood
lest battles of the revolution.
Ex-Dictator Palaco, of Venezuela. in his
manifesto, predicts that after Genoral Urcspo
triumphs the cligaTchy party will rid itself

KILLED AT a CRossING.-Eight sum-
mcr boarders at Middletown. n. Y, on
Tuesday hired a three-seated wagon
and attended a picnic at Wurtsboro.
On returning home yesterday morning
they were obliged to cross the railroad
track at Wurtsboro. As they approach
ed, an engine sent forward for switching
passed They supposed that every
thing was all right, and drove down on
the track just as a train came down
the heavy grade and struck the wagon,
killing George, Walsh MissCarrieMcCoy

occupants of the wagon were badly in
