Our town has been, and is still lc-
markably dull. In consequence of the
late strikes, our merchants have had
some difficulty in keeping up supply
of rations, but they have managed to
supply their customers not being
out at the same time.
We are having little too much rain
in some sections. A fine crop of corn
will be harvested, and the prospect for
cotton is fine. In fact, if no disaster
occurs, there will be the finest crops
of corn and cotton in this section we
have had in several years.
We were pleased 10 have with MS on
the third Wednesday (the regular day
of Masonic meeting here) Messrs.

THE plane upon which political cam
paingns in South Carolina are coll
Quoted are calculated to keep our best
men from entering actively into poll
tics, and it should make thoughtful
men reflect and diseountensnce this
method Of gaining popular favor.
The people have it in their power to
raise the standard by which an office
shall be gained, and they may be sure
that if they shall applaud billingsgate
it is going to bring out all the black
guard in candidate. We regret to
observe the tendency to crave for this
low practice in politics, and that
higher things meet with very little, if
any favor. If 2 candidate strives to
conduct himself on high plane, and
makes sensible, dignified speeches he
is called too slow and tarae. 1t is
worth noting that any meeting fol-
lowing a stormy and lively one is
attended by large crowd.
Msny will not agree with us, but as
we see it the present state of affairs is
the logical result and outcome of the
methods Of four years ago. The bitter
denunciation Of men met with an un-
mistakable approval. The more per-
sonal campaign becomes the more
interest it evokes. 1t is not surprising
that Reformers should now DC using
some such cheap stuff against each
other; for instance, the following
from Col. Can't in reference to Col.
Duncan at Inman: II started out by
asking Duncan if he was not running
as an Alliance candidate for Congress.
Duncan replied that he was farmers
and not an Alliance candidate. I then
asked him to please remove his hat,
which he did, and I replied: "Well,
boys, hers's your farmers candidate;
and isn't he a regular rose geranium
leaf Of an agriculturist? Look at him!
Who ever heard Of farmer parting
his hair in the middle, who divided
his name with an apostrophe, and
named DARCY" This is not SO bad,
but still there is no dignity in it, and
we are almost certain it turned votes
from Duncan. Duncan arose." says
Col. CAN'T, "and said something about
being attacked by Georgia buzzard.
stepped in front of him, shook my
finger in his face and told him that the
business Of q buzzard was to discover
carrion, and that I had found itin him;
that had rather be Georgia buzzard
than South Carolina thief, which
charge l had branded upon his (Dun-
cs2D brow" "Buzzard", "carrion",
''taief', all of them elegant and very
elegant words-are they not? And
yet they have very great fascination
for the public ear, and the man whose
vocabulary is the fullest with such
words and whose tongue can turn them
out most fuently is the man who
seems to get the votes.

To the editor of the Ne,rs and Courier:
If the Neus and Couier's report of
Governor Tillman's speech at Walter
bero is correct, it appears to me to be
3 confession on his part that after all
the talk he did not even refund the
State debt. It was done by broker,
a Mr.. Rhind, and one hundred and
eighteen thousand dollars of the peo-
pies money was lost on the transac-
tion. Governor Tillman says he don't
know who got this money. He feels
called on to defy heaven and earth to
prove that he pocket any of 1t. Gov
ernor Tillman claimed that riding on
free pass was evidence of corruption
in State officials. He was afterwards
found riding around free. Governor
Tillman claims that it is the hit dog
that howls. lie hoWled in his speech
at Walterboro that it had been insinu-
ated that he had pocketed some Of the
money speA: to refund the State debt.
I would like for Governor Tillman's
friends to explain why go able q man,
one who is to strsighten the United
States Senate, scare Cleveland worse
than the devil; q man who knows all
about system of finance that will
upright the United Statee and check
the power of the British Empire; why
does he get q little unknown broker to
attend to business he is hired to per-
form himself. and have hundred and
eighteen thousand dollars of the States
money spent without even positive
knowledge Of who got it?
