they are to both factions in this

1at1on in the north eastern section
of the County, to the effect that l
was present at a.caucus of the.

Tillman party in the Court House.
The other report promulgated in
the eastern portion OF Gray town
ship, that I5had promised if Gov
ernor Sheppard was nominated at
the March convention that L
would support him during the
campaign, is asfalse and erroneous
as the first report hereinbefor
alluded to. and fabricated doubt
less with evil intent.
S Were I IN concert with the
Conservative Sheppard party, it
would be my pleasure to- do al ! !
could in a fair and honorable way
Il furtherthe cause Of. that faction.
But as many Of the people Of the
County we'll know, ] have been in
full sympathy and accord with the
Reform or Tillman movement
from its earliest incipiency; and
those who know me best, know that
if I have a single notable :charac-
teristic it is my persistent adher-
ence to my own political and
other opinions when once formed.
I believe in every man standing
square to the front with one fac
tion or the other, and any intima-
tion or report that I have acted
otherwise is all untruth, unwar-
ranted by any act, word or deed of
mine.

aBefore 1 die,n said the vener-
able Ex-senator D. H. Armstrong,
of Missouri, the other day, 81 ex-
pect to see o huge bronze statue of
Thomas Jefferson overlooking the
Mississippi from one of the
numerous promontories of the
river bluffs near the city of St
Louis. I have canvassed the
sentiment of Congressman on this
matter, and all of whom heartily
endorse the idea. But for Jeffer-
sons genius Americanism and
stroke Of craftsmanship all the
magnificent territory west of the
river might yet be In the possession
of France and Spain. Nothing
has ever been done to honor the
memory of Jefferson for extend
ing the domain of the United States
from ocean to ocean, and it is time
that some fitting recognition
should be accorded. What better
would embody this idea than for
the nation to erect a statue of the
far-seeing statesman on the west
bank of the Mississippi?

GOODNESS and courage and self
possession of Gov. Tillman saved
us from riot. We all know that
he is a conservative man, and does
not want any blood shed among
his friends and neighbors, but that
in real danger he would be as cool,
and as brave as lion.
1t was fortunate that the notice
of the Edgefeld meeting was not
gener ally known, for had cur peo-
pie been out inforce they would not
only have resented the bringing of
a Barnwell bully and braggart here
to abuse an Edgefeld man, but
would have been hard to control in
their Indignation against other
things that occurred that day.
Finally let it be said for Gov.
Tillman, that he has inaugurated,
and indeed created, a great.move-
ment for the education, relief, and
advancement of our people. He
was warmly encouraged and en-
dorsed by Edgefield in this great
work, and all ofsus who encour-
aged and aided him before are in
honor boud to stand by him now
when treacherous friends and Bit
ter enemies are trying to break
down his work and his admins
tration before it is completed.
Let brave old Edgefcld stand by
her colors, and sustain her bold,
brave, original son, and she will
but add another star to the bright
galaxy which ALREADY adorns her
frmament.
