Executive Committee met on the follow
Ing Thursday night and appointed the DIFF,
ferent committees. This organization
has done incaculable good in this town
and community, and there Is much to en-
courage the belief that the coming year
will be the brightest of them all.
The Presbyteriens have purchased
new organ for their Church. Its asweet.
toned, handsome instrument. and Is a
great improvement on their former de-
pendence for music.

should have been there.
Mr.. J. G.. Thomas has finished his new

cottage of four rooms, and presents nice

it is located Mr.. Thomas is progressive,
energetic fellow.citizen. and. outside OF
his innocent blindness on the great politi-

This seems to be day of poetry, espe-
cially if we read certain papers. But that
which gives this poetry marked signi1i-
canoe, and renders it, indeed, peculiar to
itself, is the admittance of such literature
in certain papers only. We are truly glad
that only few Of our Journalistic have cnn-
descended to notice these doggerel produc
tions, for it lowers any paper, in the esti-
nation Of decent people, that contains
them, and shows up the editor who winks
at them and publishes them. Those who
would be enlightened on the Tariff ques-
ton should read the speech of Josiah Pat
terson, recently delivered in the House of
Representatives. 1t is a strong and able
argument against this Law, and clearly
shows the discrimination it makes be-
tween the classes.
There is nothing that would do more
justice to both Tillman and his opponents
In the coming campaign than quiet,
peaceful audience. In this way the merits
Of both sides could be well considered,

intelligently. This would allow Tillman
to give an account of his administration,
and the opposition to fully substantiate
their charges against him before the peo-
pie. But If the meeting at Greenville is
fair sample of the campaign, it would be
far better to do away with any debates,
and let the people make their choice for
Governor with the best light before them.
Nothing can possibly be accomplished By
gathering the strength of the two oppos-
Ing factions at some public speaking 70 cry
down each others candidates, except re.
newed strife and animosity. There Is ab-
solutely nothing to be gained by such
meetings. where bitter feeling controls
the decency and intelligence of people.

have intended to attend as occasion suited,
