Perhaps there has been more new nost-

year than in any other county in the State.
There has been one at Old Pickcns by the
name OF Hill, with j. B. Hill formerly of

pose to say, in nonpartlsan spirit, (for |

iali"d to accomplish the object for which
i'S leaders declared it was gotten up). 1t
mas augmented the political strife and an
lmosity in our State more than allay II.
lhls no doubt you will admit after YOU
| nave come down to Il calm and deliberate G
| conSlncratiOn of the matter in all its
| effects
Mr.. Editor VIC can't disguise the fact
That there is not something and has bccn
something" in South Carolina like a polit-
zeal revolution and not only in South Car
Dina, but almost throughout the United
| States The cause Of this | will not at
tempt to give, but will say no one cause
has lc, up to the present political condi.
| tiOn Of our State
I'm my humble judgement, the best
| thing Tor the press Of South Carolina and
every man to do, is to go to work for the
| peace and har rmOny OF our State by en-
u"rS;ES th' measures and men endorsed
ny the majority of our people. 1 think
the public interest is not likely to suffer
when an overwhelming majority of our
people endorse certain measures or a Ger
lail man Tor Governor. let that man be
lillnan or Sheppard, care not which,
just SO he IS freely endorsed by the bal
lots of majority Of our people.
nohcStly believe our people with their
lhtcliScncc and patriotism will vote for
no man tor office who is not qualified and
iikcly 10 bring ruin upon tho State and
the public
have confidence in the decision of the
majority "i our people and will abide the
result.
1t seems that Mr.. Tilman will again he
trlumphantly elected Governor of South
Carolina, and in that event let us go TO
his ald and help him to work for the in
'"rrsl "1 our Stale and peace aud Dros
rrrity. Let us do likewise in case Mr.
Sheppard is elected or any other GOOD
man. think great many papers in our
"lalc have made II great mistake in so
nunlcly aud generally crilcising NIr.
lliiman'S official acts. This spirit on
the part Of those newspapers has served
l" produce division among our people and
injured the State in Il financial sense
1t may be true. that Mr.. Tillman has
made mistakcS, let us he as generous to
hlS mistakes Gf any rs possible and if
ne has done one official act that has been
TO the interest of The State, let us rive
hin credit for il.
1t iSa matter of common sense that
When we make II bad trade it is wise TO
put tn" best foot foremost, granting
that South Carolina made il mistake in
ciccting Mr Tillman as Governor, would
IT not have been wise for the press to
have said as little about his incnmpctancy
as possible? Let the people Judge his
acts. Instead of this conservative course
ON the part Of some of the leading ua-
perS, they hove kept up an almost cOntin |
ial bombar,lmcnt upon him. Under these
circumstances it is Il wonder to me that |
MI Tillman did not make more mistakes
Than he is accused Of.
don want You to infer from what / |
have said, that mean to curtail the libcr-
" OF the press or any citiz en- of express
ing his will, but what | speak OF on that
line is the wisdom of such a course as
pcrSu"d 10y some of on! papers relative to
some of Mr.. Tillnans Official acts
Let us stand hy the man that is elected
by the ma jority of the people whether
that man be 1'llman or Sheppard, and
work for the prosperity of our State both
morally ami financially. when we have
donr this you will see peace and harmony
throughout cur grand old State.
