Democratic Club Meetings.

Reports have been received from thu
Democratic Club meetings, held last Sat
urday in many of the towns Throughout
the State. These show a strong follow
ing for Sheppard, but the country Club:
will probably more than Offset the show
ing made.
At Edgefield Court House Tillman wa.
beaten by a vote of 1870 to rs, and the
Clubs at Meeting Street, Landrum'.
Store. Johnston and Pleasant Lane were
captured by the Conservatives.
In Sumter the Sheppard men numbered
$50, while the Tillmanites mustered IS.
At Greenwood, in Abbeville county

At Marion the Conservatives beat the
Tillmanites by a vote of 30 to l3G and

bercd the Tillmanites nearly three to ole.
The Club at S%partanburg took its place
in the Conservative ranks.
Charleston may be counted upon to roll
up a big majority for Sheppard.
Notwithstanding this showing by the
cities and towns the Tillmanites will
probably have a large majority in the
May State Convention. But this conven-
ton has to do solely with national poll
tics, aud the real fight will be made in
the August primaries for the election of
delegates 10 the September State Con-
vention. And the strength OF Sheppard
and the Conservative ticket may then be
stronger than many people now think.

articles is at least one million and eight
hundred thousand dollars. The minority
report states that the bagging industry
is conducted by sixteen mills employing
eight million dollars of capital, so that
this is a contest between sixteen mill
owners and eight million dollars OF CAPT
tai and the great body of cotton-growers
in the Southern country, who contribute
annually so mue. to the wealth OF this
country. Eight hundred thousand dol
lars which the tariff adds to the price OF
cotton bagging is 10 per cent upon the
eight million dollars employed in manu-
featuring it. This 10 per cent is taken
out of the cotton-growers Of the land
to increase the profits OF the manufac-
turer over and above the legitimate
profits which he would make in this
business without this tax. The minority
further state that the cotton tie
industry Of this country gives partial
employment to eleven thousand men.
Even If they were wholly employed the
tax is enormous, for if the tax is a mil
lion dollars, as it has been shown TO be,
then these eleven thousand men get
more than ninety dollars a piece out OF
those who grow cotton, in addition to
the wages that they would otherwise
receive without this TX. Some relief to
the farmers Of this country now grow
ing cotton is of especial importance at
this time. The crop which on an aver
age usually sells at about forty dollars
bale andwhich would bring in the mar
kets of the world at least three hundred
and twenty millions of dollars, is now
worth only about TWENTY-FIVE dollars :
bale. and the total crop VIII bring a little
less .Ilan two hundred millions of dol
lars, so that this year there will be al
least a,Ioss of n hundred and twenty
fire millions of dollars by reason Of tho
depressed price of this product. They
are entitled to consideration further be
cause their exports annually amount t'
between two hundred and fifty and three
hundred millions of dollars, which is a
least one-third of the total exports o
this entire country. and to that exten
