How it is Going.
Mr.. John Edison, President ofsthe
vaucluse Democratic Club, wasin our
town and office on Tuesday of this

Tillman, and that the few Sheppard
men there are changing to Tillman.
He gave us the names of four in his
own knowledge who had changed to
Tillman from Sheppard, and he con-
cluded his remarks by saying that
Aiken county is overwhelmingly for
Farmer Ben. And this is the way the
thing is going IN Vaucluse.
ATerrible Affair.
