Orr and Sheppard evidently
had some nice little tricks, some

from the Greenyille meeting, which
they had fixed up for the Edgefeld
meeting, but 10 and behold at the
Edgefeld meeting Tillman had
Eve tricks and counter charges to

Hats in the House of Commons.

No honorable member sits in the Eng
lish house of commons without his "'pot''
hat on his head. If he rises to address
the house, greet a friend or cross the
room he must hold his shiny tile in his
hand. Should his name be mentioned
in the speech of another member he lifts
his hat respectfully. If it is in his hand
when his name is uttered etiquette re-
quires him to clap it hastily on his head
in order that he may lift it with proper
deference.-Youth's Companion.

Never since 1876 has Edgefeld

dollar for dollar, and as soon as

any thing about financial matters

The Augusta Chronicle on Sun
day published the addresses of the
candidates at the campaign meet
ing here last Saturday, and along
with itapicture, or what purported
to be a picture, of Gov. Sheppard.
This picture was not picture of
Gov. Sheppard at all, but a combi-
nation of Judas Iscariot, Benedict
Arnold, and Nebachadnezzar, and
we protest against it in the name
of "peace and unity in Edgefeld
county.

When Tillman asked that all
those who voted for him before

should hold up their hands only
seven responded. These half
repented and let their hands droop,
but the boys made 'em hold 'em up
long enough to be counted.

a hand primary was asked for.
The Governor asked all who had
voted for him in 1890 and had lost
faith in him to hold up their
hands. l counted only two. He
then. asked all who intended to
vote for him at the fall election to
hold up their hands. Fully nine
tenths of the crowd responded.
The Governor then said: 'Now |

shown by the movement at its equator

hours of our time, while at or near its

forty-six of our days. This would only

Ben Tillman must have studied
the methods Of Gen. Forrest in

Ben generally manages to get there
first with the most men and he
always kills his antagonists and

The riff-raff, the rag-tag and
bobtail of Edgefeld county, if
there be any such, may be behind
Tillman, but the large majority of
his followers in Edgefeld county
are as honest, Intelligent, and
brave as can be found behind any
body, and the individual who says
or insinuates to the contrary
perpetrates ali Infamous slander.

We were amused on Saturday to
observe the difficulty with which

Listen to this platform: "We
denounce the proposition to in
crease the poll tax to So year,
because it would unjustly put a
burden on people not able to bear
it. We pledge ourselves, however,
to use every just means to further
develope and improve our public
school system, the deficiencies of
which cannot be overlooked" That
matter of a SO poll tax is aimed
at me. The other is taffy like
they've been giving you since 1876.
The speaker here went on to de-
fend his advocacy of the poll tax
as a matter of justice and a bene-
| fit to the schools. He then took
up some of the minor planks of
the platform and showed how un-
sound and inconsistent they are,
and continuing he said: "Shep-
pard was Governor, Speaker of the
House, Lieutenant Governor and a
member of the Wallace House.
Has he ever done anything for you,
the farmers? ["No! nol"] When
Sheppard accepted the nomination
he said go home, and tell the peo-
ple that it is dishonorable to make
charges which you can'tprove and
promises you can't carry out. This
was aimed at me, threshing over
Earle's old straw. They never
proved that I told a lie. l said
then it was incipient rottenness.
