Friend "Zack," Of Cray ton, IN his at

the 10Th ult., lost his footing and got into
deep water First. he didn't seem to have
enough politics in his make up 10 know
whether be was proud Of his Tillmanites
or not. Next be misrepresepts US by say
ing we were proud of the fact that our
community was divided. His visual or
gans must be very deficient, or his MEM
ory very poor, for our article plainly said
that we were glad our section was not
solid for the "bamboozler," which does
not imply that we are glad of our division,
bnt that we are proud OF our Sheppard
friends, and intend working faithfully for
the Conservative ticket. We suspect the
Tillmanites all wish the antics would
keep quiet "at such time as this" but
that is not our politics, and if good. man
to man work will accomplish anything be-
tween this and the August primary, we
to the rear, where they we'll deserve to
stay. AS to the twenty-one conference,
our friend seems to be very poorly in
formed. If that convention of sober
minded and Conservative men ever did
anything but coolly and impassionately
discuss the issues of the day we never
heard of it, nor did we see 1t in the pub
lishment of the same. And if Tillman
has ever aspired to anything higher than
bosssm and self ggrandizement, We
would be pleased to be so informed.
Mr.. J. A. Mattison opened his school at
Eureka Monday morning.
We had the pleasure few days back of
passing by the County Poor House, which,
we are glad to stay is well-ordered and
neatly kept institution. Mr.. Perry King,
the manager of the same, seems to be the
right man in the right place. The broad
it is surrounded speaks in high terms of
Mr.. Kings management of the farm.
The Misses Lewis, of the Midway com.
munity, accom- panied by Mr.. w. q. Ham,
mond and wife, honored our Sunday
School with their presence last third Sun.
day evening. We hig bly, appreciated their
visit, and would be pleased very much to
see them again soon.
Misses Retta Breazeale and Rosa Green,
of Belton, are visiting Miss Lena Camp.

Mr.. G. B. McCown paid flying visit in
this section last week.
The Sunday School Institute Is thing
of the past, the memories of which will
ever be fondly cherished by visitors and
delegates who were the recipients OF 30
many kindnesses from the people of An.
derson. We have often heard it said that
the town and country can not mix agree
ably in social or religious gathering, but
never was the falseness of such assertions
more beautifully demonstrated than 1t
was at the recent Institute. To Mr.. Lu-
ther Smith is due the thanks of the dele
gates for his untiring efforts towards
making their stay pleasant one.
Before the appearance OF candidate Till.
man on the political arena of South Caro-.
lima things were quiet and serene. Coun.
try and towns supported the Democratic
nominee with the same patriotic devotion,
but since the debut of that sower of dis.
sension and discord, the State has been
stirred up from center to circumference.
The poor and ignorant have been aroused
and led to believe that they are burdened
and oppressed by the corporations that
really are their best friends. The preju:-
dice of the country has been excited
against the towns to an extent that is
hurtful to both. Not only communities
but families have been divided by that
boastful reformer who does not reform.
Brother is pitted against brother, neighbor
against neighbor, and the country against
the towns and to B. r. Tillman is due
the credit for this state of affairs. 1t may
be that the State will rise up from her
present state of political degradation
Strengthened by the ordeal through watch
she has passed, but however that mey be,
no credit will be due Tillman for the way
IL has been brought about.
