Our Denny Budget.
DEAR ADVERTISER: Before your
columns commence to be crowded
with reports of speeches of those
soon to level their guns in the cam.
paign now upon US, allow US to sliE
in edgewise another item or two
from our side.
We are very quiet politically
speaking; no excitement; enthu.
siasm below normal; every one il
appears being settled already upon
whom he will support. Tillman
almost solid for the Senate. But
Ter, Notwithstanding the pretty gen.
eral distribution of his "beauti.
fully gotten up" pamphlets in
which be attempts to magnify his
official services and to show the
people that he has been and is a
servant worthy of the benediction
"Well done," is, to put it frankly,
simply not Gin it,"
We congratulate the General,
however, on this little piece of
modern enterprise, for had he not
coUated and published his official
acts we would always have re-
NAMED ignorant of what he had
done. Shows up rather badly
though when one mas to go to the
expense of having his services as
public servant published and
distributed in order that his con-
stituents may be made cognizant
Of the fact that be really did do
something.
Of the gubernatorial candidates
John Gary Evans seems to be con-
siderably in the lead, with the
latest one out, Tindal next.
We hope for a quiet campaign
one of an educational nature in
deed and in truth; with all per-
sonal abuse, little chickering's, and
harsh criticism entirely eliminated,
one with truth in all it's beauty
and simplicity as the guiding star,
facts and figures as the chart, and
honesty, old Anglo-saxon honesty,
for the rudder. Then may we ex-
pect smooth sailing and safe
anchorage. But enough of politics.
The harvest is 3! oyerasA Abopt &. g
half crop Of oats. Wheat a failure.
The long wished for showers have
come. Cotton will "get a move on
itself" Corn, while having suffer-
ed a considerable drawback, is
already knowing" and the farmers
are jubilant.
Our young friend Johu Peurifoy
is just home from Wofford, looking
as well as could be expected of a
study-worn student.
We also welcome home our lady
friend Miss Leila Yarbrough, who
after two sessions attendance of
the Trenton High School returns
looking as fresh as full blown
rose.
A sad, and what was at first
feared might prove fatal accident,
befell Mr.. L. B. Hazel, an estima-
bic citizen or our community a few
days age. While engaged in cell
ing the new Methodist church at
Zoar, by a careless step he was
thrown from the scaffolding and
striking heavily upon some large
timbers below, crushed his thigh
bone and bruised himself in sew
eral places. DR.. Kirksey being
summoned soon re-adjusted the
broken parts, and he is now doing
we'll.
Rev. E. P. Taylor, pastor of the
Saluda circuit, preached most
learned and eloquent sermon on
the judgment and it's effects at
Butler on Sunday last. His con-
gregations are unusually large and
appreciative. He has warm place
in the hearts of his people. A
bright future is surely before him.

house, you Will Hnd generally tnaI
those who are most comfortably
circumstanced when at home find
the least fault with the table, the
service, the environment. If they
are not suited, they Igo elsewhere !;
if there is nowhere else to 60, they
are too we'll bred to make public
their discomfort; and if they can
not quietly improve their sur
roundings,th bear patiently what
cannot be..helped. Invariably a
loud mouthed complainer is not
as we'll served at home as in the
hotel or boarding house with
which be or she finds fault. This
applies as well to boys and girls in
boarding schools as to adults in
hotels.
There are not a few people who
think it an indication of su-
periority to discover detects in
whatever they are pleased to re-
mark on. They affect the nil ad-
mirari in manner, and are found
of saying, "Nothing delights me
very, very much" In looking at a
picture they comment on it's faults
rather than on it's merits. In lis
tening to a concert the discords
catch their ear rather than the con-
cords. At a feast the dishes that are
overseasoned or imperfect excite
their comment, rather than those
above criticism, and so in every
thing. Such people will generally
be found to be either stupid or
nouveaux rlche. Your really fine
Bnd noble gentleman and gentle
woman wear calico as though it
were silk, and silk as though it
were calico; eat from pewter as
though it were silver, and from
silver as though it were pewter.
Like Hamlet, they have "that
within which passes show"
So terribly severe a critic as
James Russell Lowell says: II
would not advocate critical habit
at the expense of an unquestioning
and hearty enjoyment CT literature
i'll and for itself. Nay; as I think
the great advantage to be gained
by it is that it compels US to see
two sides to every question, it
should, when rightly understood
and fairly applied, tend t5ot, to
liberal EifEy d dof % ind / a and M shosp itshts
Of thought" 5F
This remark is as true and just
applied to general culture as to
literary culture, and to manners aa
the evidence of general culture.

WILL. BEAT HIM THREE TO ONE.
Here again there was a great
hurrah for each of the candidates.
I can beat him before the people,
but I do not know what manipula-
tions he will be able to make be-
fore rings and conventions.
Gen. Butler insisted that all he
knew of the existence of the rings
came from the published state
ments of Tillman's friend, Senator
Irry. The
D1sPENsARY AS POLITICAL MACHINE
Gen. Butler went on to charge
that in his opinion the dispensary
law was rushed through to use it
as political machine when the
campaign opened. Governor Till
man had said be would not have
the office in such a way.
Voice: "He will play hell re-
signing
But when the decision of the
Court came overthrowing the law,
Governor Tillman was paralyzed,
and so were his force of constables
and dispensers, and the whole ma
chine that was being built up for
his campaign. The Legislature,
Gen. Butler argued gave Governor
Tillman $4,000 with which to
open thefdispensary, and yet, 1t is
alleged, he bought more than twice
that much liquor with which to
start the dispensary. This was
clearly against one of the most sa-
cred rights in the Constitution for
the protection of the people, that
no official could use money except
where specifically appropriated. 1t
was a great outrage for him to have
contracted any additional debt to
that authorized in the appropria-
ton, no matter what the amount
was. The wrong and violation of
the public trust were equally great
if the amount was $40 as if it was
$1,O00,000. 1t is wrong for any
State official to be allowed to break
loose from the constitutional moor
ings. He related how he saw off,
cial CLERKS deprived of their money
becausethere was no specific appro-
.priatios them. The system~is
entirely 100 loose for your good. He
thought it would be best for the
Governor not to tackle anyone be-
hind his back, and who is away.
Someone asked: Tell US what
you are going to do in the Senator"
Butler: / don't know if I could
satisfy you if I brought Oh the
millennium.
Then Gen Butler went on to de-
fend his course in the Senate and
show specifically what he had done
and remarked that the man did not
live who could charge him with a
violation of duty.
Gen. Butler went on to say that
he had ploughed twenty times as
much as Governor Tillman and that
he noticed about the only time
Governor Tlllman spoke about be-
ing farmer was when he wanted
the votes of farmers.

CHESTER, June 20.-There was
no mistakipg the tone of to-day's
campaign meeting at Chester. 1t
was personal; it was aggressive !;
it was daring; it was fierce; it was
red hot; it set the pace for posi-
bly, a very ugly campaign; it show
ed that Gen. Butler is deeply in
earnest; that he expects to say
just what he pleases about politl-
clans and issues, and that he does
not intend to brook what he con-
ceives an insult; that is plain.
Gov. Tillman had the reply at
Yorkville, and when he spoke of
what he called the Coxey army as
he did something sharp was ex-
pected in reply. The wonder is
that the rock-throwing did not
start at the very first meeting.
Most seemed to expect it.
THE MEETING WAS OPENED
by Chairman Will A. Barber, who
called upon the Rev. Mr.. Child for
prayer. He then asked for good
order. Little dtd II he think of the
storm that was going to break loose
in tho comparatively small crowd.
He introduced Gov. Tillman as the
first speaker, and, strange as it
would seem, there was not futter
of applause when the Governor
began to speak. This is explained
by the instructions for quiet to be
maintained. The applause came
later, and at times came in tor
rents. Gov. Tillman did not to-
day tread to any extent on the
powder magazines. He made very
much of general talk. 1t was
much more connected than yester-
days and touched upon some of
the issues of the day. Yet be could
not help touching on what he has
styled the Coxey army in Carolina
AS 1t was very much on the line OF
his previous addresses brief
synopsis only is given:
He said he had heard and said a
good deal of rings, but this was
too much of a ring all round the
stand. These discussions, he went
on to say, were a sort of school.
and if the public speakers do right
they can lend you a good deal of
light. Now this is my third year
as Governor. This is my last year
Voice: "Thank God for that"
You don't thank Him any more
than I do.
Voices: "Hurrah for Tillman
You are the man |" Counter bur.
rahs.
Tillman then went on to say
The first time I ran the people de-
manded it, the next time I ran tc
show your faith in me, for I had
been charged with everything ex.
cept stealing, and now want to
go to the Senate.
Voices: "You will get there"
The newspapers then came in for
a share of his usual kicks. They
followed, he said, behind the met
ropolitan papers and did the bid
ding of their bosses. He insisted
they did not represent public senti-
ment. Incidentally he said the
farmers raised too much cotton and
now they have TO 60 to raising other
products. Then be returned to the
theme of the condition of the
farmers. The farmers may not oe
legislated into prosperity, but they
can be legislated into the poor
house. They want help. We have
things reasonably straight in this
State, and it only behooves the
farmers to keep things straight by
watching. He attributed the
trouble of the farmers to national

Our Mugwump friends are very much
disturbed on account of the danger of
the defeat or mutilation beyond recog-
milton of the Wilson bill. The New
York Post solemnly warns the New York
Democrats that they Will surely be de-
feated if the bill is defeated, and the
Springfield Republican informs them
and all other Democrats that they will
appeal in vain for the support OF the
people if they monkey with the bill as
it was passed by the House. Neverthe-
less the Democrats are keeping right on
monkeying. The election of Quigg in a
Tammany district makes much more i'm
preston on them than solemn Mugwump
warnings.

The Republicans of Ward l ought to
see to it that every Republican voter
is stirred UP sufficiently to go to the
polls on Monday. They have good
ticket and only united and hearty sup
port is needed to elect by a large
majority. Too much reliance must not
be placed on Democratic apathy. In a
ward naturally close that apathy is not
likely to he SO tense as in the upper
wards where there is no chance of
victory. The best policy for the Repub-
licans to pursue is to assume that the
Democrats will be as active as usual,
ind to prepare to meet them On that
assumption. Then not only will they
win but they will win by a large
majority,

ing. But, then, it must be understood
that the matter of leaving will be op-
tional with the negroes, and a great
many will elect to remain in this coun-
try. That will decrease the total cost.
Then, again, the deportation cannot
along from year to year. The government
might make reasonable appropriation
for each year, and the work of deporta-
ton could be carried on each year to the
limit of that appropriation. So, you see,
the cost need not be exorbitant. The
Knights of Labor do not wish to impose
upon the country a tax burden they
therefore, in their petition they will
propose to pay, by way of tax, for this
purpose poll assessment on their mem

The Argus is disposed to find fault
with the management of the liquor
agency. Very likely it has good reason
for doing SO, for the institution has
been during the year entirely under the
control OF Democrats. Mr.. Ingraham
took advantage of the days of grace con-
ferred upon him by the peculiar Harper
method of computation to pack the COM
mittee on agency with Democrats, and
later on the Democratic members of the
Board of Aldermen, with the assistance
of Alderman Prince, succeeded in re-
electing the agent who the year before
had made the agency disgracefully noto-
rious. That the agency, conducted as
it has been under the auspices of the
same crowd that ran it during Mayor
Ingraham's administration, has not been
managed in all respects as it ought is not
strange. But no Republican has had
anything to do with it, with the excep-
ton of Alderman Prince, who is partial
ly responsible for the retention of Mr..
Carr, and Alderman Prince is not can
didate for reelection. The only man in
any degree responsible for the bad man
agement which the Argus alleges who is
a candidate for reelection is Mr.. Joseph

stituency rebuke him.

TO GET RID OF THE NEGROES.
vast Scheme of Deportation Devised by the
knights of Labor.

The knights of Labor of the United
States are about to EN- bark upon.a cam
naien having for its object the removal
of the negroes from the United States
and their colonization in the Congo
Basin. Liberia, or some other part of
Africa.
The first substantial step looking in
that direction was taken in Memphis,
when the Trades Council was called to
meet to make arrangements to entertain
General Master Workman j. r. Sovereign
Of the Knights of Labor, who will make
a tour of the South during March and
lecture in the principal cities upon this
subject
The undertaking is not a new one in
the ranks of the Knights of Labor, or it
has progressed SO far that the order in
every State of the Union has been p3lled
on the question, and every State has
been found favorable to the movement.
General Master Workman Sovereign is
much interested in the undertaking, and
Tor some time to come will give it his
entire attention.
1T. Rogers, mem ber,of the Executive
Board of the Knights of Labor, in an in
teryiew said: "The plan has been wide
ly and well considered by the knights
| of labor. 1t proposes that the govern,
| ment shall meet the expense. We intend
| to send a monster petition to Congress
| from ali parts of the country to make an
| appropriation to meet the expense.
| "A colonization company is in opera
tion at birmingham, Ala. which has
engaged to transport some 500 negroes at
a cost of about $25 per head. If it cost
| this government that much to transport
each of the 100000 negroes Ill this
country, the sum total might be appall-
