II YOU can get il cheap. Therefore, you
should keep it here instead Of driving it

him say that he would lead iynchng
patty.
A voice Would not you?
Col. Or: Not i'll was bound by -oh to-
support the law. Gov. Tillmau has shown
his appreciation of lynch law by appointing
to office Col. Coughmsn, who openly huasrs
that he lie lynching party. How ,an you
expect the people to respect the law when
the chief executive of the State brrnss =. .u'o
disrepnte?
Gov. Tillmau has criticised and made fun
Of the judges. What has been his dcclnra-
'ion in regard to religion? He has stood
before Ion and women and said THAT Ne haG
rather 20 20 hell with one crowu of I,eu
iUa" tC heaven with another. Under excite
men' you might try to excuse these senti.
Iuen,s out the christian people Of South
Narc''n. will not endorse such conduct. As

GOV. TILLMAN.
Sohoplmas'ers and had come to give an ac-
count of their stewardship.
A voice: We are satisfied with IL.
Til'man: Yes, 1 knew that l could have
! heen elected without coming out of my
! flee, but the constitution of the democratic
! Variy requires the candidates for the State
! Offices to address the people. This was done
! N order to free the people from the papers
which could not tell the truth
And now what do these men promise you
Nothing. Look at their arguments. They
are all personal abuse of me. They have

through Gonzales spectacles. Col. Orr is
whipped aud he shows it in his countc
nance.

any officer whom | believe to be wrong
When my tongue fails TO do this il will be
s,illed in death.
There is n lot of people who would like to
get on the band wagon if they were not
afraid ofbeing charged with being coat-,ai
swingers.
Gov. Tillman said that he could under
stand Eng ish and the law us we'll as
aDyb dy in South Carolina. and he then
charged the courts with being hQiud and
wrong.
Continuing he said With the Conserva
tives it is rs plain rs the picture in the back
of the old spelling book Of the little boy
who went up the tree after apples and
wouldn't como down until the old mar
threw rocks at him. | am throwing rock,

Tillman took the pass and used it ant
doh't care a snap for It.
! COUNTY GOVERNMENT
We want change of county government
We want bridges and schools. My idea o
a county government is this: The peopl
should eect three officers, give them a goo,
salary aud then make them look after tn
county properly. You are in your poiitica
babyhood. You were only born in 1S9
and you have got incompetent mea at tn
head of your county government.
A voice: Ben, tell thcm about the So po

Tillman am not going to dodge that.
