Tapestry was brought into general us
in western Europe, with many othe,
elegancies of life, by the Moors of Spain.
The Oldest known specimen is the Bayeux

Strickland says Of this piece Of work:
"It is beyond all competition the
most wonderful achievement in the gen.

executed by fair and royal hands.
It was done by Matilda of Flanders
wife of William the Conqueror, and the
ladies of her court. 1t is coarse linen

The People.Are The Masters.

AT present we believe there is
considerable disaffection from the
Tillman ranks, but we do not be-
live that Tillman can be beaten.
We do not believe the opposi-
ton, no matter what its numeri-
cal strength, can beat Tillman for
the simple reason that they divided
amongst themselves. There are at
least two factions in the ranks of
the opposition-the Haskellites
and the anti-Haskellites.
The great mass of the Demo
cratic party will be slow to give
their votes to any bolter.
Tillman is a bitter pill to many
of onr people, but it is the pa
triotic duty of every good citizen
to maintain the integrity of the
party in South Carolina.
We believe in rule by the peo-
pie, and if a majority of the
Democratic party name a candi-
date, then it is our duty to sup
port him, We have nothing to
gain by going back on our
neighbors and friends. We have
everything to lose by quitting thu
company Of our kindred and the
men of our own race. We have a
right to beat Tillman, If we can,
but we are in honor bound to
stick to the nomination after it is
made.
AT present the opposition to
Tillman can not harmonise.. The
newspapers can not get on the
same platform, and the individual
members of the opposition are i'm
alterably divided. 1t may not be
that the boilers are trying to take
charge of the Democratic party,
but it looks a little that way to us.
The other wing of the Democratic
party which opposed Tillman is,
we presume, as much opposed to
giving the management of the
party to the boilers, as they are to
| giving the Governorship to B. R.
Tillman.
Harmony then is out of the
question. Without harmony, we
can do nothing against Tillman's
organized forces.-Abbeville Press

Ailments of the Eyes.

No organ of the body is liable tc q
greater variety Of ailments than tho eye
More than forty such diseases are emu
merated in medical works.
Some of these tend toward blindness,
partial or complete. Some are highly
contagious. Some are peculiar to the
earliest stages of infancy; some to old
age Some are due to other diseases:
some originate with the eye itself; some
are the result Of external wounds. Some
are brought on by the improper use of
the eye; some by the abuse of other or
gans. Some are partially OF. wholly
durable; others are.not.
AS we have two eyes, the loss of one
does not materially affect the other.
The double provision is wise and be-
neyolent one in the case of an organ e1-
posed to so many accidents from with
out and so many diseases from within

to vote in that primary, and if the op-
position to Tillman, counting negroes
and all, makes a majority against him
in the State, then Hampton's counsel
is that athey, as the true Democratic
party, should assume control not only
of the policy to be pursued in the ap-

itself;" and thus he who said IAN inde-

This newspaper is anti-Iillman, but
it claims discernment enough to see a
plain fact before us and until some
one can make it clear to US that more
than a divided one-fifth of the Demo
cratic party is in favor of an opposi-
ton candidate, we think good policy
and love for the welfare of the State,
would dictate non-action on the part
of the anti-Tillman men in 1892.
The opponents of Tillman, at most,
can only further excite the people, alta
time when harmony and good feeling
should prevail.
