A Conservative Card.

THERE MUST DE NO HowLIEa DOWN IN UNION.
SEpALIA, July 26.-MR. EDIroR.-4
notice in your issue of July %, an editorial
in which you say there is a rumor that the
Conservatives are making arrangements TO
"howl down" the Tlman speakers at the
campaign meeting on the 4th Of August.
In reply l would like to state that the
rumor is absolutely and meanly false. L
have talked with great many Conservatives
from all parts of Union County, and have
yet to find one who favors "howling down."
The Conservatives want free and open dis
oussion, and are willing and anxious for all
the speakers to have q polite and attentive
hearing and l think the intelligent and
peace loving men of the other side ore with
us in that fair democratic desire. But if
our speakers, or any one of them, should be
"howled down" it will be very hsrd to keep
the spirit of retaliation in objection.
The two factions are too nearly even in
this County for either one to attempt 10 run
rough shod over the other, and l sincerely
hope that both may realize this, and treat
all the speakers with the utmost courtesy.
One thing is sure, the Tillman democrats
will have to be the aggressors, if there is
any bowling at Union, and their Speakers
will be treated with the same courtesy that
the Conservative speakers are.
Very Respectfully,

AT Sumter Governor Tillman paofessed
to be amazed at the "legerdemain' by which
Governor Sheppard had estimated that only
four per cent of the judgments of the
Circuit Judges have been reversed when
he (riilman) had stated that, according Ia
an examination of the records by Assistant
Attorney General Townsend, il was 40 per
cent. GLOW does he dare, dorc | say, make
any such statements ?'
perusal of the following reply by Gov
ernor Sheppard will show the public how he
"iared' to make such statement:
''Governor Tiilman tells ycu that 40 per
cent of the judgments of the courts have
been reversed. have had an examination
made and find that out Of 54l cases involved
only 81 were reversed. That is not 40 Der
cent.
'Bnt why didn't the Governor Dauss
mere and inform you that 30 per cent of
the judgments of our circuit Judges are
never carried TO the Supreme Court >
There's the meat of the question Only 1C
per cent of the cases tried are appealed and
taken before the Supreme Court | saw that
II ~ per cent of 10 per cent is reversed it
means only per cent of the whole. That
Is how i dare make the statement.
us It just, is it justifable, is it pardonable
In any citizen of South Carolina to publish
10 the world that our courts are not to b.
relied upon? You, you the people, are tic
ones who suffer from such unjust stang
ments."

J. G. alln,an's Answer to the Grand Jury

y
UNION, July 25.-Mn. EDITOR :--In jus
tice to myself, l wish to say something in
reply TO the prescntment of the Grand Jury,
so far it relates to myself, as Superintendent
Of poor house.
As a matter of course when the poor
house was let to the lowest bidder 1
was elected rs had been oa two previous
terms, my bid being lowest Of al others,
S, far as "Shekels' being poured into

since have been Superintendent of poor
house have often used his stock for tho
beueft of the County,.
SO far as the presentmcnt relates to the
COW transaction will briefly tell all
know: The cow in: question was at tho
| paor house three years ago. when L took
charge of that place: | kept her until she
became n dry COW. I used every effort to
make her useful, but all efforts failed. L
then reported [, County Commissioners her
condition and they decided to sell her
will farther state. if the Grani jury
had examined the books they could have
learned that the COW was Mt poor house Il
months for service.
So far as relates to my being absent from
my post Of duty-poor house; l will say
that never have left there without leaving
n responsible white man in charge OF my
business. never have left my bnsine IN
charge of n man Of "Afriean descent.
That is a positive fAlsehood.
So far as the charge Of paupers dieiog II

will be able TO prove at the proper tim
that the whole report rs relates TO the poo

and through prejudice.
Very Respectfully,

Tillmau is charged with injuring the
States credit. Here is an another error.
The opposition is sending out broadcast in
the world that everything in South Carolina
is wrong side up that the Governor Is op-
posed 10 all lawful enterprises, and by this
means the State bonds are run down below
par.
Yes, not only ",he opposition" but the
Administration is telling the world from
the stump, that everything has been aud will
continue 10 he "wrong side up" if they are
not re- elected to Office; and the people, inside
and outside the State, arc looking on and
waiting 10 see if the election vii! pa. things
| right side up. In the meanwhile the State
wants outside capital to come aud establish
new Factories, new enterprises of all kinds,
but the people are advised no. to vote for q
President Of factory or a President Of a
bank, as the managers Of such institutions.
and, from parity of reasoning, the inst-
tutions also, are opposed to the interests of
S,oasrnas.p pr Sey; atiso possi'alo ihee build S
the Southern farm, employ labor that not
only work up those products for market but
again buy the food products of the farm for
their own sus,ennauce.
But the mea selected to manage those
institutions, chosen because Of their ability
| and integrity of character, are now held up
| in derision, as unworthy the confidence OF
the people and should not be elected to
| position of honor or trust in the govern
ment.
Under such teachings, from the Slate
Administration too, how ON we expect out
side capital to come into the State, to build
up industrial enterprises that give employ
ment to thousands who buy and consume
the products of the farms
| We, who have no capital to invest, even in
home enterprises, may not be able to see
why such teachings should keep capital from
our State, but those who have capital to
invest are norlikely 10 risk it in a State
that the officials and people are prejudiced
against it. There is too much danger from
the taxing power of such State govern
msnt to invite capital, particularly where
that power has once been arbitrarily exercis-
ed against public institutions built and man
aged by private capital and individuals.
In that light it can ensiIy be seen why
our State bonds are run down below par.
The Shell manifesto, in charging corruption
and extravaganza against the State Govern
ment, first put "South Carolina wrong side
up" and we really do not see, after two
years Of trial, how we are going to get right
side up, with the same mon aud methods.

ACARD TO THE PUBLIC.
TIMELY AND PROPER ACTION.

Eta JANE, July 20, 1892.
Ata meeting Of the Eta Jane Farmers
Alliance No. lott, held this day, the follow
ing was read and adopted:
Whereas, Certain newspapers have given
publicity to statement that one Richard
Harris was taken from his house near Cow
deysyills, on the night Of July 8, 1892, by
disguised men aud whipped for his political
opinions, or the exercise OF his political
rights.
Therefore, We, collectively and individual
ly. eondsm the report - unreasonable, no.
truthful and unoalled for, and say thss u Is
not possible that either Gov. Tilman, Gov,
Sheppard, nor the cause they represent is In
anyway responsible for the trouble with
Mr.. Harris. The report Is an insult to the
law-abiding citizens Of Gowdeysvills town
ship, and We most respectfully request The
State to correct II, and we further ask oil
other papers friendly to truth and justice to
copy this.
We further Rssoipe that We will do oil in
ovr power to aid the officers Of the law in
bringing to justice any and all parties con-
nscted with that affair.

9G4- On reading the Columbia Register
and The State of Wednesday, we have come
TO the conclusion that Tillman will be nomi-
mated by 10000, and that Sheppard will
receive at least 25 900 more votes thnn Till
man. We gather the above reliable informa
ton from reports taken to Columbia by the
members of both the Conservative and Dem.
ocrat,d State Committees which met in that
, city on Tuesday, the news was published
by those journals with as much confidence
and delight, as If they really telievedit.
From' the present political outlook, Tillman
and Sheppard are bound to be nominated
We don't bet, but will hold the stakes
%-herc may be some truth in all this boast
lng- but If somebody amt Heing-under q
great mistake, nobody ever made us a pres
ent of "big watermillon."

Proceedings Of the County Democratic Ex-
ecutive Committee.

Pursuant TO call Of the County chairman
the Democratic Executive Committee met at
Union, e. H., July 25;h, 1892, every meu-
Der of the commute ee being present.
The first business before the meeting wa,
to decide where tho State campaign meeting
for this County would be held.
After conference by the committee with
DR.. Munro, the inteudant of tho town of
Union, satisfactory agreement was reacbei !,
and it was decided to hold the meeting at
Union C. H., aud the plaza selected, the
grove back of the Graded school building.
1t was the sense of the committee that on
the day of the speaking the very best of
order may prevail, aud That each speaker
may have fair and respectful hearing, and
the rowdyism aud howiiHg down process
which has characterized some Of the previ:
Gus meetings will be entirely eliminated,
and to this end it was agreed by the Inten-
dant of the town Of Union that the Executive
Committee be allowed to select one man
from each township who would be empow-
cred to act as marshall on that day. The
names suggested rs IN ,rshals are as follows:
w. r. Gillian, Bogansville; w. N. Block,
Goshen Hill; Sylvanus F. tastes, Gowdeysv
vile; II. b. Murphy, Cross Keys; John Whit
lock, Jr., Jonesvil,e; J. W. James, Santuc;
]. G. Howell, Union; W. ii. Jeter, Fish Dam;
w. II. Gault, Pinckney; G. 7. Mabry, Dray-
tonville.
1t was decided that there be no primary
election for Trial Justices, but that they be
appoi lted by the Governor on recommcnda-
tion from the townships in which they reside.
Now it is to be hoped that the good people Of
Union County will join the committee in see
ing that good order prevpils at the State
campaign meeting on Aug. 4th, and thai the
old county Of Union maintains her reputi-
iion for christian civilization, law and order.

The CHRISTIAN MILLRSYIUM.-Tbs R.v
Dr. >. l.. Girardeau preached to a large con-
gregasion OF the First Presbyterian church
yesterday morning. His sermon was char
acteristic, clear, logical and eloquent. His
text was from Matthew xvi, %: 90. VIC
bypocrites, ye can discern the face of the
SKY; how is it that ye cannot discern the
signs Of the times ~
The discourse was intended 10 show thai
tho signs of the times indicate the approach
OF the close of tho present religious period
and OF the conflicts and revolutionary
changes which will usher in the millennisl
reign OF Christ on the earth. This was
eV'nced from the prophetic times Of the
apocalypse and Daniel, from the fact that
the Jews are beginning to return to the Holv
Land from the increased evangelization of
the world; from the rapidly extending
facilities Of international Communication
from the failure Of modern philosophy to
md out God from the growing prevalence
OF radical 1a.wlassnss.-y-frous-~t vide
spread influence Of oecultism-the art O,
black magic and necromancy, and from the
AWFUL portents of nature.-Ne,cs and Cor
rier.

FOR the ZINES.
The True Fcenomy Endorsed.

MR.. EDITOR 1 full agree with Pro Bond
Pu6lico in his recent article in your paper,
headed "Reform Needed and with your
consent. will tell some thugs l know
wherein our bankrupt County has been put
to most useless expenditure OF money.
There is bridge not thousand miles
from my home. whose abutments, not hun
drcd years ago, needed some small repairs.
The County Commissioners offered to pay
$75 t. have il repaired, when the contractor
could have done il for $25, cash, and thon
have made q big profit. A short time after
another workman was given 500 to undo
this same work. This same bridge that l
speek of, that should have been put on rock
piers, was built on post that are gradasliy
sinking in the mud. This same bridge has
cost our 5ehind-hdnd County 90, 900, when.
| So, 500 cash would have well paid for thc
work is now in n running condition, for want
of covering, putting on rock pillars and key
ing up.
Mr.. Editor, l have no ill will against any
of our present or former County Commits
| sioners but can't ho' p saying that our County
| finances have been badly managed for some
| time. 1t is not I'll Imam this time, but it is
we voters of Union County who are to blame
that our taxes are noarly twice what strict
economy and good management would re-
| quirc. 8
| Our County Commissioners should be men
of good business qualifications, who UNDER
stand what each expenditure for each piece
Of work should be We should elect only
such men for our County Commissioners as
manage their o,oa business succcsYuiiy-men of
good judgment, and strict integrity. We
| have such mon in our County, and we should
call them out.
am glad TO believe that our people arc
being educ,ted to what their suffrage should
be, aud that they are not going to vote for
many of the Office seekers who have made o
failure in life, and who are now swarming
over our county seeking Offices, not for tho
good of the people, but for The money that
they can get out of the office.
