0feourse we have had plenty of

interested in politics.
There area very few Sheppard
ties #heres and hereabouts, and I

Iamsorry for them.
After the campaign meeting at
Edgefeld, Isaw some of tie Shop

the dry cattle. 1t is strange that
people ewill fall out;with each other

Mr.. EDITOR; I don't think there
isanything that affords me more
pleasure than writing to the sub
stantial and steadfast old ADvER-
.T1sER. It's words are in no wise
doubted by or doubtful to YOU
corresp pondent, or anybody else.
The great rains have ceased, and
I'VE are entertaining brighter hopes
now.

gery good IN this section as the

are realizing a good profit on what
they have made.
AS Ishaye written before, 1 have
been greatly puzzled at the many
pheliomena Of State politics this
year, but at last, l have arrived at
a satisfactory conclusion concern
ing the opponents of Gov. Till
man. My1coaclusion is this: Gov.
1rillman is a great man. His mag
nanimity is not excelled in the
State of, South Carolina. Chris
topher Columbus startled thesold
world by discovering a new world.
Many great philosophers have
been criticised and abused.
Michael, the arch angel, could not
convince all men of his justice,
should he condescend to reveal the
truth to them. How can we be
amazed at the abuse hoaped upon
our present Governor, when all
great men are hated by those who
try to rival them? This alone is
enough. to convince us that Gov.
Tillman is a great character.
The so-called Conservatives beg
for peace aud harmony, but where
is the peace and harmony? Where
Is that March convention! WhaC
are its results? By it peace and
harmony were thrown overheard
and now strife and rivalry reign
throughout the State. How we
long to see the election over and
every true citizen enjoying the
blessings Of good result.
I am very glad to see SO many
interesting correspondents to your
paper, and hope they will yet get
more numerous.
Iwould write more but circum-
stances prevent. I am glad if your
correspondent "Ignota" knows me,
