10 Ms Cotton Ptant !:


Laws are bulli'ies when they are not
funded on the will Of The people and sup
ported by tho forces necessary for their
execution. This is strictly trde under q
popular form Of govern whore the
maj ofiiy rules. AT no time and in no way
have the PEOPLE Of this State signi6ed in the
s'ighic-t degree that they wanted the Dir
pens.-: ,..--.. u is founded on tbs ~ oitrary
will OF B. X. Tilman. 1t is n nuli'y. 1t
was conceived in sin, brought forth in .ini
a9ui'y, and is execution is being forced
hrough crimes Of murdrr. These facts are
made manifest ty Til man filing the State
with cons'ables and spies and sending cir
cnlars TO the Trial Justices throughout the
State threatening them with dismissal from
office if they do not pack their jurics and
convict every one brought before them,
whether guilty or not.
This monsirous man a sumes all the pow
e,s Of tho Executive, Legislative and judi
oiary. If he controls, liberty is dead iu this
State. Tie sanctiry of every home in the
State from the mountains to the sea is liable
TO be Invaded at any hour If the day or
night by his ccns'ables and spies with mur-
der"us intent. Already one quiet home il
Spartanburg has been entered under the
cover OF the night, the occupant murdered
in cold blood and the spy killed.
1t becomes all God.lovng people to wash
their hands of this whole nasty business.
The State is in fearful condition and grow
ing worse each day. TIllmsn W II soon
raise the foodgates and dc'uge the State
with whskey. lie is getting ready to do
so at the earliest day POS sable. The only
check to the flow of his whiskey will he the
lack of whiskey or money &c buy il at S3 a
gallon, worth only Sl.25 gallon. The
Ds;cnsary law is the creation of his br"in
and will after sleeplrss nights. lIc is not
working TO improve the morals of the peop'c
aud TO raise them in christian virtues. Ii
he is, why is he forcing his whiskcy saloons
on dry counties and dry towns? lie is not
solicitous about the morals If the people.
lie wants the money that is in the whiskcy.
lie wants it to employ dispensers at large
salaries aud to fill the State with coustables
and spies. lie wants il rs corruption
fund to extend his power over and make
sure his grin on the pcon'" c: ;mc stats.
lie is not wo, king for the good of the p,o-
pie Ills every act is conclusive that he is
working for j.. Il. Tillman's advancement,
for that and nothing else. The short time
hc has been in office he has done more to
destroy the peace, harmony and prosperity
of the people of the state than all the men
who have occupied the position he now
holds from the foundation of the gorcln
mcnt In the rrcscn' time, including Scot
and Moses Of infamous wcnory.
Farmers of the STATE, | am talking To you
in frankn'ss aud caudor. 1t bchnov,s you
to think VIC | on these things and cease to
give further aft TO Titlmau IN his chortt to
destroy your liberties and the peace cf the
State. 10 deprive any one of the right to
ct, drink nni wear what he desires AMI
pays for aud does not use u The injury Of
any one else is tiie issue u: tyranny not to
h tolerate by free born men. 1t wi Il DO
for s'ris and slaves, held down at the point
of the bnyonct
Farmers of the State, a of y,u who have
made sorghum svr"c. know wh":: ;nc Juice
Is put III the kettles as so1n as il begins to
sumner aud bell the fuulcSt scum cDmcs to
the top. To make clear and good syrup the
scum is promptly skinned OF and thrown
out. If thai IS not done the scum will mix
into the syrup and ruin it. The same thing
holds good in political revolutions We are
now experiencing that unfortunate condi-
tion IL you do net raSt off aud send into
meried o. security the false leaders you have
been fol owing b!indly, leaders who have
promised You to do many things if you
would elect them to office and have not per-
formed single one: leaders who, to advance
their Interests, have done many things they
ought not to have done all of rs sooner or
