The decision of the Courts in
the Coosaw case has thrown open
the. immense Coosaw territory to
the competition of all, and already
is it bringing in the shekels to the

men can fight Gov. Tillman and
at the same time enjoy she fruits
of this grand victory we cannot
understand. 1t is like eating a

The friends of ]. C. cAueHaAN have agreed
that the public may know 1.-The mesnness he
has ever committed, therefore, we respectfully
nominate him as candidate for County Treas
urer, pledgfng him to abide the result Of the pr-

war, and we knowing him to be a Christian gem
tleman, heartily recommend him for said Office.
To his political enemies we insist on two things:
ist. That you circulate no false reports. and.
That you tell of no good act of his life.

. soUiN.1D, q ADVICE. /:

judge ]. Charlton, one Of Edge
field u lest thinkers and soundest
reagoners, says that the best thing
the Ants can do at this juncture
issto withdraw their ticket and
leave the field open for the peoples
governor, Ben Tillman. OF course
it is better for Tillman that they
should not, that the lines of de-
marcation between the ringsters
and the people should be more
deeply grooved than before, so that
they cannot be obliterated in the
campaign of 1894. Capt. Charlton
has the utmost respect for Gov.
Sheppard, but believes him to
have been sinformed and mis-
advised by his friends.
There are only two ways for the
minority to whip the majority in
d political fight. One is to have
a strong issue, strong leaders and
speakers and heavy artillery in the
way Of a support from the press,
and to force the fighting all along
Tho line in season and out of sea-
son. The greatest of all these
helps in the fight is strong issue,
and this the majority has not.
They have fairly good speakers,
and a heavy press support, but,
lacking an issue, they cannot and
dare not force the fighting.
The other way for minority
to win against a big majority is to
let the majority alone; it will of
its own distractions go to pieces
then go for it and tear up the
pieces. Calhoun said that the
emoluments of office are in them
selves sufficient to establish two
parties in any government. So it
is with big majority; the desire
for the loaves and fishes of Office
are sufficient to bread up this ma
jority into segments. To have
waited for this denouement would
have been wise generalship on the
part of the opposition to Tillman
in South Carolina.
Their present programme and
schedule is entirely hopeless.

a BLACK Eye for the Third Party
WASHINGTON, D. G., May 5

WASHINGTON, D. G., May 5.
Mr.. Simpson, Mr.. Watson aud
other alliance members of
congress try to put a favorable
construction on the address sent
out yesterday by the conference
of alliance presidents, but there is
a suspicion that the third party
movement has received bad
black eye. Southern Democrats are
much encouraged and believe THE
disintegration of the alliance as a
power in politics has commenced.
The leaders of the alliance, they
saw, wanted to turn the organization
int a political machine and use
i wer for the election Of the
thi party candidates. They
found, however, when it came to
a national election they could not
count on the support of the rank
and file in their party for a policy
that would have no other effect
than to divide the Democrats and
make Republican success compare
lively easy. A senator from. a
Southern State said to-day: aThe
leaders of the alliance have made
a complete failure in their effort
to organize political party, and
the third party cloud that has
been hanging over some OF the
southern States is beginning to
dissipate, do not think the third
party will cut much of a figure in
any locality, and will not carry a
single electoral vote in the whole
country"

Some two or three weeks age
Mr.. E. Norton, Of Conway, Horny

ing letter:

Information regarding his moral
character will be thankfully re-
ceived. I shall use what yeu say
about him and want only the un-
vanished truth"
We didn't reply to this letter,
because he wanted the truth un-
yarnished, and we have always
made it a rule never to send q
certificate of character out Of this
Office without putting little
varnish on it.
At the same time it appears that
he addressed a letter to the Edge
field Chronicle to the same pur-
port. That paper, joyous and
jocund, flew up the creek as fol-
lows:
EDeEF1E1D, s. G., April 25, 1872.
Mr.. E. NORTON,
My Dear Sir:-I have known
John c. Sheppard well and con-
tinuously from his cradle. He
does not drink habitually. He
was never drunk in his life. He is
singularly free from swearing or
any sort of profanity. Even in
his boyhood and early manhood
he was singularly free from any
thing bordering Oh licentiousness.
His home life with his lovely wife
and six little children is worthy
of all admiration. He is a good
man: Help hlm ! In helping him,
you help South Carolina.
Very Truly Yours,
JAS. T. BACON.

of character for Gov. Sheppard
from George Washington, why
should he wish one from Thomas
