NOW FOR KEITT!

For several good reasons we hope
there is truth in the story that Coi.
Ellison S. Keitt will enter the canvass.
His presence will give dignity and eio-
ouence to the meetings. He mas the
reputation of being tho finest and most
gifted natural orator in the State. he
IS an Alliance msu and Popuilss, but
he has the courage to declare and de-
fend his sentiments without wearing a
mask or trying to look two ways. we
would rather have man who is wrong
but whose position is beyond doubt
than a man who is wrong and ashamed
of it and who is liable to wiggle one
way or the other at the wrong time:
Colonel keitt always has something
to say. He is vigorous, earnest ana
we'll Informed and is not afraid OF any
body. IF he will plunge into this cam-
paicn he will make it hotter. higher,
brighter and better.-Greenvlile News.
The Herald and News does not know
what Col Keitt is going to do, bus evil
IDENTIFY, if he does go on the. stump, ne
will, as we said last week, make things
lively for some of the speakers. He is
a good speaker, as the News says, and
has been student of finance and is
we'll Informed and has his information
at his tongues end.

Dr 6 Pope at Darlington.

DR.. S. Pope joined the campaigners
again at the Darlington meeting. We
give below the report of his speech. He
will never get the other candidates to
agree to his proposition which is decidly
fair and just. They are but giving Dr..
Pope some of the medicine he advised
administering two and four years ago.
DR. SAMPS AROUSED.
DR.. Sampson Pope was the next
speaker and be made quite a stirring
address, making intimations of rings
and cliques. He favored a constitu-
tional convention, and the dispensary
system. He said he could not truthfully
say that the Reformers had reduced
taxation, but he did say that the aver
age rate for the four years of Tillma2's
administration was the same as for
Richardson's, while be claimed that the
present officers had more extra ex-
penses to carry. He praised the Ali.
ance platform, including the sub-treas-
ury plan. DR.. Pope then entered a plea
for fair deal ia the race for Governor.
He said that the newspapers had given
out the impression that be was not in
the race. He did not acsuse the other
candidates of doing anything out of
the way, but he intimated that ones
friends sometimes do such things. He
said that he had come to this meeting
to propose that the candidates for Gov
eruor agree to 60 before the general
primary where all Democrats would be
allowed to vote. He thought this was
ouly fair, and that anything else would
be taking unfair advantage of him and
Mr.. Tindal. He said that he had op-
posed March convention this year be-
cause he had thought a IDEAL" was
contemplated. Now he was sorry that
be opposed it for he feared that the deal
had been consummated any way. He
said that in Spartanburg county Larry
CAN'T had forty clubs in the county to
endorse Tillman for the Senate, Evans
for Governor and Stanyarne Wilson for
Congress even before the campaign
meeting is held in the county. The
Doctor intimated that.
THAT sMELT OF RINGIsM.
He could not see how that was giving
the people an opportunity to hear the
candidates before making their choice.
DR.. Pope spoke very earnestly, and was
attentively listened to.

a correspondent Of the Edgefeld
Advertiser nominates full State ticket
from United States Senator down all
from Edge6eld. That is good idea to
bring Edgefeld men to the front, for
they are really little backward about
coming out and asking for Office. We
only have N. c. Butler and B. 4. Till
man wanting to 60 to the Senate; w
II. Zimmerman asking to be made
Lieutenant-Governor Oh account of his
good looks; ". q. Yeldell wanting to
be Railroad Commissioner because he
promises TO study engineering, and in
fact knows a little about it already; D.
Il. Thompkins running for Secretary
of the State; and Geo. D. Tillman being
urged TO run for Governor. Really we
do not see why one or two Edgefeld
men do not come out yet, and if they
are too modest sbey should be urged to
run, for Edgefeld should have reeog-
milton. We are very much interested
in Edgefeld men, for We lived there
once ourselves. Do urge couple TO
come out.

To-day "Wednesday is the 1lsth an
niversary of the Independence of the
United States of America. In the
"older and better days OF the republic"
slavery was the great question which
agitated the country, now it is tariff
reform. What next? Guess it will be
the trace problem"
The upper part of this community
was visited last Friday afternoon by
high wind and terrible hailstorm: Some
of the crops over which the hailstorm
swept were totally and some partially
ruined.
This community has been very for
tunate 80 far, and since so many storms
have swept over different portions OF
the county and State, leaving ruin and
despair in their wake, The lower por-
ton of this community cannot be too
grateful to Livine Providence for hav-
ing delivered it from the furies of the
storm.
It seems that "blg Winds are be-
coming very frequent in this State any
way, most too frequent for one to feel
pleasant when he thinks what wee
creature he is, when compared with
house or a tree. Yet We have often
heard peopls say, "Oh, amt afraid of
them; nobody will die until his time
comes. No use to rum" etc. But now,
wait! Just let case of smallpox or
measles turn up in q neighborhood,
aud, shoe y,what confusion! Every
body will pack sand in the opposite
direction, while some of the more
thoroughly frightened will nearly
bieak their necks trying to get to and
climb over the horizon as a boy does
over a rail-fence when an unfriendly
dog chases him. And I see where they
are right!
Now, to think of outrunning a cy-
clone is out of the question, but you
can gather yourself together and pull
cut for your cyclone pit, and if your
house is situated in an open place,
where the wind strikes it from every
point OF the COMPASS, and you haven't
a pit, then 60 this blooming minute
and dig one.
You may say what you please about
holding office, but when dark clouds
oyerspread the skies, and the "bellow-
ing thunder rolls rattling through the
heavens profound" and the wind begins
to blow and the Pickering lightning
flashes from zenith to horizon the cy-
clone pit is the safest Office that any
man can hold. The undersigned has
no cyclone pit, but if he did have one
the man is not alive that would live to
finish dumping it full of dirt.

Gen. Ellerbe is improving as stump
speaker, but it seems to US from the re-
ports in the papers that the main thing
he is trying to press home is that bis
opponent, Mr.. Gary Evans, is not as
much of Tillmanite as he, Ellerbe, is.
They both seem to be desperately in
love with Mr.. Tillman, and We cannot
help concluding that they think the
proving of that affection to the dear
people is the nearest and the easiest
and shortest road to the Executive
msnsion. Terrible recommendation,
isn't il?
