Tho Famine In Russia.

The story of the famine in Russia
should cause outsiders to change some OF
their opinions concerning the classes and
the masses of that country.
The Russian government has loaned
Sl00,000,0O0 to the sufferers. 1t is called
loan, but the Car does not expect it to
be repaid, and will take no step to COL
lect it. Then the Government lottery has
raised $4,000, ,000 for the poor, the tick
cts being purchased by the wealthy
classes simply as matter of charity.
Some noblemen purchased, each one OF
them, SIS, ,0O0 worth of tickets. The dona-
tions of private citizens amount to Sl75-
100000.
Nor is this all. Men and women be-
longing to the first families have gone
into the famine districts, Drawing small
pox and typhus fever, to stay with thc
unfortunate poor in their huts, distribut-
ing food and clothing and nursing the
sick. One man, Count Bobiensky, is sup.
porting 10000 people out of his own
means.
Russia should bless her rich people.
Without them, millions of peasants would
have starved to death this year. These
peasants, by the way, are Tmprovident'
They never think OF tomorrow and are
the most non-progressive race Of white
people in the world. They are lucky in
having so many kind-hearted and
wealthy millionaires to take care OF
them.

We have had nice week for killing

their crops and fixing to rest for awhile.
It is hot and they need rest.

Mr.. Jim Nance has nice time around
here swinging the pretty girls, especially
when he goes up on the First Creek side.
He speaks frequently Of two most excel

can't make up his mind which one he
will select for a life companion.
Come down, Mr.. Editor, and see US.
We have some roasting ears and water
melons, and, as you are bachelor you
can have good time and assist your cor
respondent in entertaining the girls. We
had only eight Of the fair sex to visit US
the other afternoon. You may bet it
made me stir around, tor had just come
from the field in my fine clothes. We
were thinking more about supper, for we
knew it would take big pile of good
things to feed them on. When we boys go

1st of August of that year 1t was nom
taxable. That, said the speaker, was di-
rect legislation for the farmer. Now,
point out, if you can, where the present
administration has even sought to do one
thing for the farmer.
Tho speeches were mastery efforts,
and produced visible effects. They were
addressed to men of sound sense and
good judgment. They were such speeches
as one honest, business man would use
to influence another honest, business man.
They were free FROM any suggestion of
bitterness or abuse, and the most extreme
Tillmanite could listen to them and keep
in perfect good humor.
By actual count, over one thousand
persons were in the procession that
marched to the stand at II o'clock. Many
had already gathered there. Many others
come to the place for an hour or two after
the speaking began. There is good au-
thority for saying not far from 1,5OO per-
sous heard the speeches. When the
Advocate estimates the procession at SIG
persons 1t is either wilfully and densely
ignorant Of the facts or is grossly
unfair in it5 estimate.
The order of the day was perfect. Ev-
erybody was in good humor. The An
derson Conservatives set an example for
decency and order worthy Of all emula-
ton.
The citizens of Anderson paid all the
expenses of the meeting. Those who
came over by rail paid their fare. Any
intimations to the contrary are false.
There was short meeting of the Con-
seryatives in the Court House Wednesday
evening for the purpose of organizing a
Club. It was decided to have some
speeches, and to organize on the next
evening.
Col. Orr was serenaded at the hotel
Wednesday night, and made short
speech. Maj. Murray, George E. Prince,
ESQ.,, Mayor Tolly and Capt. q. W. sulli-
van were called for and made short
speeches.
Wednesday was 81 glorious day for the
Conservatives, and gave promise of sue
cess on the 3Oth inst.

the Madison Square Garden last Wednes.
day night and looked over the vast audi
ence gathered there to do him honor.
Perhaps no other man ever experienced
greater personal triumph than he did at
that time. Against all political precedent,
and against bitter personal opposition, he
had been nominated for the third time for
the highest office in the world, and there
he stood In the biggest ball of the greatest
city of the State which had had voted
against him at Chicago, and, in the pres
ence Of his enemies as well as his friends,
and, amid the plaudits Of %, 600 people, he
was formally notified of his nomination
to the post Of leadership. Yet there was
not the slightest sign of triumph in his
face. His countenanoe mirrored forth no
exultation of soul, no pride Of victory, no
Joy over the discontinue of his enemies.
He neyer smiled once from the time he
entered the ball until he left 1t.
No Roman conqueror eyer had more
notable triumph. No political leader In
this country vas ever welcomed by
grander audience. Yet Grover Cleveland
Surveyed the scene Of triumph with
face that showed more humility than
pride, more sadness than joy. At one time
it seemed as if be really was going to
break down end shed tears-this man of
iron will and aeryeR OF oak, who, on
March 4, 1885, stood in front Of the Capt.
tol and delivered his inaugural address
without manuscript, feat of memory
never before attempted, believe, by any
other President. What produced this ap-
pearance of sadness on the face of Mr..
Cleveland do not know, bat certainly
he seemed to regard the occasion as
most serious affair, and with something
Of the feelings Of o priest who is being
consecrated tor the holy service of Bish-
op. But he never lost bis self-possession,
and, though be began bis speech amid the
shouts Of 10000 people, who would not
stop cheering for him, he repeated his

HASTEN TO REPEAL 1T.

Elsewhere we print the minutes Of the
County Executive Committee, which met
on Monday morning last. We wish to
call attention to the action Of that Com
mittee in fsgrantly interfering with the
right Of voters to exercise their judgment
In casting their votes for certain offices.
BY resolution of that Committee man.
ayers Of primary elections are required to
throw out tickets that are "pop-shot" OF
aplumped" in so far as those particular
offices are concerned.
Should any man vote for only four OF
less than four Legislators his vote for leg
islators win be thrown ont, forsooth be-
cause he did not put five legislators on
his ticket. Should he intend and desire
to vote for five legislators, and by acci-
dent or otherwise five names were not
put on his ticket, fer the same reason his
vote for legislators goes for naught.
The same is true Of County Commits
sioners and electors Tor the Nominating
Convention in September. A man must
vote for all three Commissioners and all
twelve electors. Should he vote for less,
his vote will not be counted.
5; We submit that the Committee over
stepped their authority in making this
rule, and that it is undemocratio and die.
tatorial in character.
The effect Of it is to put qualification
on tho right Of suffrage. With as much
right could the Committee require voters
to fiIl out their ticket in every instanoe
before depositing them, or refuse to allow
them to be voted.
Fit is fair and just and legal to impose
qualifications ION votes, why could the
same Committee notimposeq qualifications
on voters?
Has the Committee any precedent 70,
attempting to force men to vote for can.
didate or candi idates they do not wish te
vote for? Is there any good reason why
a man who by choice or accident does moi
fill out his ticket for certain offices should
have his vote throWn OUT 1or nls ialu1e
to insert other names?
Cannot everyone see that the tendency
Of such action is to circumscribe and tam
per with the rights Of voters, and for the
I Committee TO assume undue power il
defining the rights of voters :
That action of the Committee is unjust
and undemocratic, and, as we believe, IL
legal. It cannot be reversed too early
The voters Of the County haYe the righ'
to demand its repeal, and in their name
we demand it
Surely the attention of the Committee
has only to be called to the improperly O.
this rule to have. them repeal it. Good
Democracy and common sense require it
early correction.

So Logical, clear In style, common-sense and
sgsbnsiness like, 1t was an able arraignment
of Tllman's folNes and blunders, and an
admirabie exposition of Conservative
principles.
former Tiilmanite, now q Conserva-
tive, admitted publicly that he was a
member OF tho Caucus" that named the
Legislators in the last General Assembly.
He said there we're 25 or IS present. That
ssmaeks strongly of "Gideon's Band"
ATillmanite admitted the same thing,
and wanted to explain something about
ssit, but it developed that he was Third
Partyite, and Col. Orr cut him off by say
ling that II he was Third Party man
5 he had no business in Democratic scau-
I cns.''
Col. Orr told citizen Ashley that that
scancusss OF 1890 had left him out, and
that he had heard that similar caucus
had hsn is'd on the Saturday before, and
Jam sorry to say, Josh, that they have
left you ont again."
Citizen Ashley stood with his hand over
his face and with one finger resting
slightly on his eye during this revelation,
E$and his face wore e. "brown study"
Evidently Josh has on bis thinking

j, s.caucus, is not his friend.
Rev. D, w. Hiott was the next speaker
& and wittily claimed to be the son-in-law
sofeA Anderson, as he had married one OF
her Mirest daughters. After this happy
Introduction the speaker made broad
and liberal speech-one calculated to
warm his friends and win opponents
4 and his very bearing and presence be-
spoke the Christian gentleman.
g Maj. Murray was the last speaker, and
his speech was capital one-vigorous
and aggressive, and those who sought to
!: confuse him with questions found out
that they had walked up the wrong pas
ssnger.
Maj. Murray challenged the Tillmanites
TO point out one instance in which tho
present administration had accomplished,
sor had even sought to accomplish, any
thing for the farmer as farmer. Yet
1the previous administration, sa;d the
speaker, had made it greater crime for
I rogue to steal crops, as roasting ears,
