The People Should Think Before Voting.

1t is being industriously circulated anon z
the people that if Stale ConV, ntion is
held under the call OF Tillman Legislature,
and new constitution i, adopted, In which
SO poll tax is substituted for the present
81 tax, it will be CON m tied ID the people for
.h-;- -s.:..Sa; or rejection. Judging from
the record OF the l,st legislature, We are
inclined to think the people will have no vote
in the matter, and the scheme is misleading
"a trap TO catch too con6ding administra.
ton voters. Let's TO the record, and let the
people think aud vote against the dangers,
before il is too late:
On the 11th of last December, 1891, Till
mans pet scheme OF q new Constitution
came up in the house Mr.. Abney Of Rich
land Conservative offered the following
| proviso:
| provided, however, that no Constitution
formed, or which may be formed, by such
convention, shall be binding or 60 into effect
until it shall have been submitted 10 the
people of the State for ratification, and shall
have been ra'ifed 10y the votes of u majority
of the qualified voters of the State, voting
| upon such question"

FARLEY As \ TAX DODGER. Far
ley is Spartanburg man. He was gallant
soldier in the war: he worked for the sue
cess of Democracy in 1876. So far as VIC
know he has performed the duties of his
present Office acceptably
During the progress Of the campaign
however he has gone back on his former
friends who stood by him in trying times
aud honored him with office He has rapid
ly degenerated into one Of the most abusive
of all the campaigners. lie has gone far
ther than any in endeavoring to excite the
people along the line of prejudice.
Gen. Farley is running for office. He
says he stands squarely by Governor Till
man, and is part and parcel of the Tilman
ticket. AS one Of the men to be honored
with office # Tillman delegates form the
State convention, his views and record arc
subjects for legitimate criticism.
In his speech at Winnsboro Gen. Farley
answered "yes" to the questions:
care you in favor of the So 90 poll tax ?''
Are you in favor of putting white men
in the cham gang for not paying the poll
tax p
Gen. Farley did not dodge these qucs-
tons but cmphatcally expressed himself
favorable to them both
He was charged with having failed u pay
his own poll tax i'll this county until cXccu-
tons were issued. lie explained that the
treasurer fniled To enter the poll tax ON The
list, and then wanted him to pay 81 30, 80
cents of which he refused to pay
An examination of the auditors books
shows that Gen. Farley is mistaken. For
tho years lSI9-S0. S2-87-S9 hc paid neither
the 81 nor the 30 cents, nor any tax of any
description.
In five years out of twelve. under the law
he now socks 10 put in operation, the illus
trious General would himself have been on
the cham gang!
Governor TIllman, Elerber, Bates a3d
Iindal arc al rich men, and we are not
surprised that they should have forgotten
how hard 1t was for poor man with no
property to pay his taxes, but General Far
ley has once been poor himself
1t is amazing that this man who says that
the man who voted for Tilman when he
promised reform and low taxes and refuses
TO vote for him now, since lie has given high
taxes and promises still! higher lis coward
ana traitor should 50 soon imbibc the
hobbies Of his bIss and forget how it was
when he was poor 1t is amazing that u
man who found it too inconYenient to pay
81 to public schools the year before he was
elected to 81. 800 job. should two years
later favor making other poor men pay
three times "a much and work them on the
chain gang if they are too poor TO raise the
money. Spnrt"nJwry UcraH

Tillman the Only Issue.

Tillman the Only Issue.
We have been taught to believe that the
great moving doctrine OF the Farmers Ali
ancc aud Farmers Movcmcnt--no, half Il
hairs breadth diiterence-was principles
not men, bat the leaders of the Tillm,n or
Farmers Movement party hive gone square
back OH their professions, and demand that
the candidates shall ignore principles and
make tho man they will support paramount.
| The Grecnville Ncws thus aptly exposes
the arbitrary, undemocratic and unmau ly
demand of the Tillman faction of the demo-
cratic party upon candidates for Office, who
are supposed to be free men actuatei by
| principle and not b ssel by any man or men
Men who ask for office in this county are
| not to be asked what principles they repre-
| sent, what they cUn do or will try to do for
| the people, or as To their fitness OF chlrac-
| ter. Old Thomas jefferson gave as the three
| questions 10 be asked ofa candidate for pub
| lie office, "ls he honest? Is he capable? Is
| he faithful TO the constitution Greenville
county democrats are now Instructed that
| they must overlook all such matters as that
| The important questions are
| "liave you been an expressed and an
avowed Tillmanite from March, 1890 to the
present time
"Did you vote for Shell or Duncan in 1890
in Il primary?
"Will you vote for thc.tselve men nomi-
mated the lst Of August by II conference Of
TIllman men to represent this county in tho
September conycntion?"
| Are you in favor of he recollection of Till
! man and other State ofccrs"'
Do you belong TO Tillman or an anti
1illman club ?"
Now we submit that i, is just this kind of
thing against which the conservative move

Poultry Notes.

Egg foods are principally ground
oyster shells, ground bones with gypsum,
rand, oxide of iron and cayenne pepper,
Selling pure bred chickens in the fall
is becoming popular among fanciers.
One bushel of corn and oats ground
together and fed to poultry will produce
fifteen pounds of flesh. How many
pounds of pork would tue same quantity
of food produce?
During cold transforms and the morn
ings after. season the mixed food, with
IA free spiinkling of red pepper; little
in the drinking water will also be bene-
fetal,
Save all the earliest and finest pullets;
feed them up well with milk and scraps
or good variety of rich food If you
want them to lay bountiful supply Of
eggs this winter.

acquainted with their new friends and
accustomed to their new quarters before

A Convenience for Smokers.

A box to hold burned matches and cigar
ashes is a great convenience to those
who smoke. Such receptacles are not
always ornamental in room, but here
is one that is. 1t is designed to be hung
on the wall, and the foundation is q
board as wide or trihe wider than a
cigar box and twice as long. This is
covered with rough drawing paper
tackled on after being danpened with a
sponge and water. 1t shrinkS slightly
in drying, and SO dries perfectly smooth
over the board Somewhat below the
center of the board shelf of thin wood
is placed, painted black and set on two
fancy black iron brackets. This shelf
is little wider than the width of a
cigar box which is to be set on it.
The box is covered inside and out with
a coat of asphalt varnish, which is black.
Before the outside dries sprinkle the
the sides with bird gravel; let it dry on
then put another coat of the varnish.
On the shelf above the box a water color
scene is painted on the paper, and the
rest of it down to the bottom of the
board is gilded A few dashes of black
