Lady Somerset gives the following
touching account and how she became
total abstainer: II see before me
happy home with all that wealth and
luxury and rank can give. see two
happy children come down to their
dinner time after time, and I see the
happy father and mother laugh to see
these children drink the wine set be-
fore them. At last it became known
that something is wrong. I see the
boy on his way to college. and by and
by see him a sad and hopeless drunk
ard. saw him at twenty-three, all
the beauty gone from his once fair face,
and at twenty-four 1 saw him laid in a
drunkard's grave. The girl grew TO
the sweetest womanhood / ever saw,
and had everything this world could
give her by and by saw little cloud
no bigger than a mans hand shadow
that young life. IIprayed with her. /
wept with her. implOred her by all
she held sacred. Her reply was that,

I had never thought of that before. I
over / thought about it; when saw
her again l told her would do it to
save her. She said: You are too late;
l cannot give it up That home is
broken up. The children know some
thing is wrong with the mother, the
husband is heartbroken. If had not
hesitated I might have saved that wo-
man. With this experience, when
God gave me true light on this ques-
ton, I told him would 60 out and
plead with men and women and do
battle with this gigantic evil"

TIRED OF TILLMAN.
The Three Dollar Poll Tax and the
DisfrancHisement of the Cucdu-

I.owndcsvllle, s. e., August 20 1892
In 1890 was a supporter OF Is. X. llllman,
and relied upon his promises To the people for
reform in our government. Al the beginning
of this campaign | was In favor OF his re-clpc-
ton, but when the issueS began To be dis
cussed | saw that he had failed TO fulfill his
promises, and moreover he was advocating
in his speech So poll tax and Il quaific ttiOn
vote attended the Conservative meeting at
Abbeville, and after hearing the speeches |
made up my mind to cast my vote for Shep-
pard and Orr.
want no man for Governor who advocates
q three dollor poll tax, and wants to dlsfrTn-
chise the poor white man in order TO disfran-
ch iSe the negro.
Why, the morning aftcr the conservative
meeting ut Abbcville met Il man who lives
in the country, but who clerks in i0wE. and
he asked me what business had at that Con-
scrvalivc meeting? Whilst | considered him
TO be a good friend OF mine, he has treated
me scarcely with respect since lett the Till
man ranks.
Again, have been denounced by II promi-
nent church member as Il fool and as playing
the Judas Iscariat act.
Social OStrOcism has been practiced upon
me by the very people who claim To he try
ing to rescue the governIne mt from artist iOcratic
rule Let me ask the thinking people OF this
community and OF this county ! I this can be
| ca He'd II free country. when white man can
not cast his ballot tor the man OF his choice,
| without being slandercd from one side of the
| county 10 the other. nS and others have been
who live in this community.
