has our thanks for n basket OF the finest "Till-
mantle" fruit and vegetables. we beg 10 as
sure her that they are all the more highly ap,
preciated coming rs they do from her, ana
that If we thought Tillman was TO the ami
NAL kingdom what her fruit Is TO the Tegeta-

cept him too with thanks, The brand OF her

In the death of Rev. B. +. Miller the Abbe-

ablest and most Jealous ministers. ana the
loss of him will be keenly felt by the denoml-
nation throughout the State. Through all his
many months Of intense suffering, ne dls-
played the same Christian fortitude that char
acterzed him In health. He never murInur-
ed nor com planned, but it is all over with him
now, and his bereaved ones have the sweet
consolation Of knowing that 1t is we'll with
his soul.

! Our Board OF Health have gone TO work in
earnest, ana We hope To see them continue un-
| I'll the last visible veStlge OF possible malaria
| has been removed.
| 1t is curious to note how different the ad-
ministration papers are toward the Register
correspondents denial that Mr.. Prince used
"cIrs and coyotes" us first reported oy MIN,
with reference TO the Tillmanites. Common
fairness demands that they give as much
prominence 10 the correction as they did 10
! the charge, yet not one OF them have ever
mentioned II. Some OF them-at least In this
county-hare no doubt been reminded that
the words were coined rs campaign eplthets
by two men in a farmers meeting at Aooe-
vile directly after call was issued for our
March convention, and were applied TO all the
leading men and newspapers who dared 10
oppose Tillman. These particular words were
and are the exclusive property OF those two
particular men, but at least one Of the lesser
lights caught the idea, and soon thereafter
came near eXhausting the list OF the canine
species In abusing our delegates TO that .edso con-
and chimney corner tice." Now, ask any
fair minded man, and / know there are Il
great many of them, how can you tolerate
such fragrant attempt at unfairness? Cant
you see you are being msled by men who
know they could not get your vote lE any
other way?

drews. are visiting In North Carolina. MIR.
burst will join them in few days, and TO.
gether they Will go TO Red sulphur springs,
Va, where they will spend the heated term.
| Viewed In the light of reason IL 10 passing
strange that so many good men Will endorse
the manifest spirit Of unfairness, the base
ISLANDERS, gross Interpretations ana petty
| insinualionS of the Tillman papers and office
seekers. These alone are responsible Tor all
| the diSsensions and arrangements that nave
sprung up among neghbors. In our churches,
and around our fresides. Men VINO encoor-
age and foster such u state of affairs may pros
| per Tor a season, but their pernlciouS methods
will not long go unrebuked, for there Is
just God who presdes over the destlnles oi
nations" and the right must inevitably pre-.
vail Revolutions that come so quickly are
reactionary because they are almost invaria-
bly, wrought by deception, excitement and
prejudice. A movement that receives us mo
mentum from the baleful, poisonous forces
now eXtant is surely such an one and al
though the time OF their wick kedness God
may yet little while wink at. we kkow that
| il must soon fall for the preponderance OF
wrong there is in IL, but whatever Of good
| there Is will be preserved.
| The Episcopal service Is beautiful In form
and very impressive: but just little emoar,
RAISING 10 one not sufficiently well acquainted
with the ritual to know when TO stand up, SIT
down. kueel or say amen.
Mrs. Gussie Bland; Of Augusta. Is visiting
| We have been able to refute every charge
yet made against the Conservatives. Refer
! ring TO the election OF school trustees in
Greenville about which SO much has been
said by leading Tillmanites. Mr. ]. H. O'Neil

friend TO Mr.. Cover, and an honorable and
truthful gentleman, told the writer that State
politics had nothing whatever to do with It,.
