HeAp The County oampai gn opened los
Tuesday at Kelton. All but one or two of
the candidates for County Offices werc pres
ent. and some good speeches were made.
Notwithstanding Tillmsn claimed a majority
in the.hand primary on the SO poll tax, at
the meeting on the 4th, We learn, as a sig
nificant fact, that no candidate for the legisla.
ture dares to openly advocate that increase
before tho people, but, ON the contrary, one
or two at least directly oppose it. We also
learn that the County government law of
last session, which would put poor men not
able to pay road tax into the chain gang,
meets with no favor among the people All
going to show that the "hond primary" vote
at campaign meetings did not express the
sentiments of the peopie-not oven of these
who voted.

The People Should Think Before voting,

1t is being industriously circulated among
the people that if State Conv, ntion is
held under the call OF q Tillman Legislature,
and new constitution is adopted, in which
30 poll tax is substituted for the present
81 tax, it will be comm tied to the people for
their ratification or rejection. Judging from
the record Of the last legislature, wo are
inclined to think the people will have no vote
in the matter, and the scheme is misleading
"a trap 10 catch too con6ding administrs-
ton voters. Let's to the record, and let the
people think and vote against the dangers,
before it is too late:
On the 11th of last December, 1891, Till
mans Pet scheme OF o 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 to the
people of the State for ratification, and shall
have been ra'i6ed by the votes of majority
of the qualified voters Of the State, voting
upon such question"
This was voted down by Governor Till>
man friends Here are their names:
Speaker Jones, Alderman, Dlease, Bowen,
Bowden, Breazeals, Brice, Browning Buist,
Carpenter, Carwile, Chandler, Connor, Cox,
Dukes, ]. L. Dupre Earle, Elder, Evans,
Finley, Folk, Fex. Fuller, F. Is. Gary, T. A.

lor, Todd. Townes; Traytor, Wolfe, Wood
| ward, Yeldell, Youmans, Zimmerman.
In the Senate similar proviso, offered by
Senator Smythe, Of Charleston, (Conserva-
hve) was voted down, rs to IL. We have
not this vote in detail.
Now, how can the So poll tax be settled
by "dirsct vote of the people" when Till.
mans friends won't allow the new Const;tu-
ton n, providing for it to go to the people p
The State.

| 'oA An the " o. court and Gresnville 8. 8
| GREEsvILLB. s. c., Aug. 6.-The U. q.
Court is making considerable headway with
the business before it. The Grand Jury have
passed on about 125 bills during this week
and there are about 85 yet to go before it.
The Union delegates here all kept up, and
at their posts. So far as we know, none OF
them have bssn appointed to investigate the
guard house.
Mr.. II. s. Porter has taken in the city OF
GreenVills, and thinks 1t larger place than
Kelton. He has found crane that WEIGHS
about l62 lbs, and is nearly 6 feet in height.
He would be glad for Mr.. Frank Hsmes TO
see 1t. Billy" Smith is here, away from
home, and hes set tomorrow to call on some
ladies--his kin folks, though.
The Telephone" was with us few dave
last week, but being out of order. has return
ed to Jsnesville for repairs
AS usual, Jonesville has its pro rata share
OF cssos in the court at this term.
Mr.. Chas. McGurkin, formerly of Union
but now Of Chester, is here on the Jury. He
has an eye on the Chester post office also.
A good rain fell here this evening, greatly
refreshing vegetation and dispellipg the
Intense heat
Great Improvements have been made in
the management Of the U. s. Court. Instead
OF calling oil The witnesses and suitors here
the hrst day, to remain until their cases are
disposed OF, certain cases are called on GER
tain days; and when disposed Of the parties
are dismissed This keeps some coming in
all the time, while others are going out,
Tpken all in all, the U. s. Court is a big
thing We will get through next week we
think.
AUG. z. We attended the Washington
street Presbyterian church and Sunday
school this morning. 235 scholars were in
their places, and reported for duty to-day.
The music was superb, and the Rotations
excellent. If all the Presbyterian churches
(snd othrs toO) n..the land had such go-ahesd
teachers and pastors as Washington street
church has, the institution would be worthy
the name of Sunday school
Plenty Of old men and women are in the
classes. They are neither toe old nor too
wise to iearn,'as many of our rural church
members seem to think they are.
A new batch Of Union men came in tbi.

Fatal Accident

living on Col. 7. C. Duucau's plantation,

his cousin Aaron Humphries. Aaron had
come 10 mile to see Green, and Green stayed

got shot gun aud went out to kill crows.
While they were watching for the "cOrn
destroyers," they sa, down to enjoy water
melon. After devouring the melon, Green
got up and said let's 60 to the house, and
picked up the gun, when the load was dis

tearing the shoulder blade clean off, part
Of the load entering in his lungs. He lived
about hours, breathing through the wound

FARLEY AS A TAX xDoDGER-Geueral Far
| ley is Spartauburg man. He was a gallent
soldier in the war; he worked for the suo-
| 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
and honored him with ct1ice. He has rapid
ly degenerated into one Of the most abusive
of all the campaiguers. He hos 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 Tillman
ticket. AS one of the men to be houored
with office if Tillman delegates form the
State convention, his views and record are
subjects for legitimate criticism.
In his speech at Winnsboro Gen. Farley
answered yes to the questions:
"Ars you ia favor Of the $500 poll tax 7''
Are you in favor of putting white men
tax 2'
Gen. Farley did not dodge these oucs
tons but emphatically expressed himself
favorable to them both.
He was Charged with having failed to pay
his own poll tax in this county until execu
tions were issued. lie explained that the
treasurer failed TO enter the poll tax ON the
list, and then wanted him to pay $l.5O, so
cents Of which he refused to pay.
An examination Of the auditors books
shows that Gen. Farley is mistaken. For
the years l879-80. .82-87-89 he paid neither
the 81 nor the so cents, nor any tax of any
description.
In five years out of twelve, under tho law
he now seeks to put in operation, the illus
trious General would himself have been ON
the chain gang
Governor TIllman, Ellerbee, Batos and
Iindal are all rich men, and we are not
surprised that they should have forgotten
how hard II was for poor man with no
property to pay his taxes, but General Far
Icy has once been poor himself. IL.
1t is amazing that this man who SAYS th.t
the man who voted for Tillman when he
promised reform and low taxes and refuse,
to vote for him now, since he has given bieb
taxes and promises still higher ''is coward
and traitor" should so soon imbibe tho
hobbies Of his boss and forget how il was
when he was poor 1t is amazing that n
man who found il too inconyenient to nav
81 to public schools the year before he was
elected to 81 500 job, should two years
later favor making other poor men psy
three times as much and work them ON the
chain gang if they are too poor to raise the
