The Tendency.

1t looks to us as II the violent and uprea'
sonable opposition to the present State ad.
minlstration is breaking up and going to
pieces, and that the press is more disposed to
let the administration stand or fall on Its mer
its or dement's.
For instance: For the last few weeks the
News and Courier has devoted very little OF
Its energy to abuse of Tillman, and has on
one or two occasions spoken very nicely Of
him.
The Greenville News is disposed to act fair.
ly with him. giving credit where credit is due
and at other times letting the just censure at
tend the true event.
The Spartanburg Herald, whose editor has
personal reasons to hate Tillman, is willing 10
be just and sensible, while showing character
and Independence enough TO say what he
thinks TO be right.
The Newberry Herald and News, which has
been an anti OF the most pronounced type, has
the courage and the manhood TO protest
against unfair and unjust treatment which
may be awarded to Tillman.
The Anderson Intelligencer Is willing to be
fair, and doesn't find as much to complain OF
as formerly. It now comes nearer to printing
a paper for all the people Of Anderson than
at any other time since the Tillman move
ment began.
It seems to us that the very violence with
which Tillman's almost every act has been
assailed is having its effect, in demand for
peace. The people are tired Of so much fault
finding, and when 1t is hardly susceptible OF
proof that all that has been said about him
has had the effect OF gaining one convert 10
the opposition, 1t would seem that 1t Is about
time for reason 10 resume Its throne.

Some men were out for sail, when
a mist came on and everything grew
dim. 1t thickened into fog, and soon
nothing could be seen but edge of the
water against the boat. "pd give five
pounds to know where We are," said
one of the men. Suddenly a far.ofI
sound was heard. 1t was the custom,
in that fishing village, when the
fathers and sons were out in their
boats and q fog came on, for the wo-
men and children to gather on the
shore and sing high and clear. They
were doing it now. "Steer for the
voices" said the owner 10 the man at
the rudder. He did so and they were
saved. Some years ago fisherman
was out in a fog in danger of himself.
He was in danger of running upon
rocks. and began to think that ne
must be lost. At length he heard the
cry of a small voice. He thought he
knew it, and listened again. Then he
heard clear, "steer straight for me,
father" 1t was the voice of his little
daughter. He called and she replied
again and again, "Steer straight"
He passed the rocks, he stepped on the
shore, and caught her in his arms.
His little daughter had saved him.
some months afterwards he lost her.
All was dark in his life now, but after
q time he remembered what she had
said, "steer straight for me, father"
She was safe Oh the heavenly shore
How was he to join her there? Then
he heard another voice in his heart
cry, "Steer for Jesus Christ Steer for
Jesus Christ :" He did it.

The Exercises 10 be Continued

Clemson College. May l2.
South Carolina and the youth OF the State
have sustained great loss In the destr uctIon
of Clemson College.
This morning, at halipast four o'clock, the
usual quiet of the campus at this hour was
broken by the cry of fire. 1t was discovered
in the third story of the College building in
the room which Lad been used as museum.
The fire had then made such headway that 1t
could not be stopped, though every possible
effort was made to save the building from de.
struction.
By halfdast seven o'clock the devouring
did structure OF which we yesterday felt so
proud. was ashes and blackened walls Its
shapely parapets and its beautiful proper
tions are no longer visible; and the class
rooms in which some six hundred young
men were being daily trained for all the use
ful pursuits In life, are numbered with the
things that we're.
Up to this time 1t is impossible TO account
for the origin Of the fire.
Amid all the excitement OF the fire 1t Is
gratifying TO be able to report that there
were no casualties.
The friends and patrons of the College will
be glad to learn that the destruction OF the
building will not interfere with the regular
exercises Of the school. Other buildings on
the grounds will be used, and the boys will
pursue their studies as heretofore.
Everything movable on the first and second
floors was taken out.
The chapel was saved.
The barracks, or sleeping apartments, was
not hurt.

The ReSfstration Law.

The registration law Of this State is now re-
ceiving more or less attention from all the
politicians of this State, and it really seems
as If we were on the verge of important &C
tion in reference TO the regulation OF the cl'i'
zen's right to the ballot.
The Republicans, we are told, will contest
in the Courts the constitutionality of the reg
istration law.
The Democrats are restive under the law,
and there seems to be a lack OF III animity
among them as to the best measures 70 adopt
Viewing 1t as we do, the situation In South
Carolina is serious one, and II the Issues are
unwsely met, the rule OF the white man In
south Carolina may be overthrown, and the
worst conditions may follow.
The white people of this State are minori-
ty. This minority is divided among them.
selyes.
The minority of the minority assume to
have superior ability, respectability, or a bet
ter right to govern this country, than their
less presumptu0us neighbors, and take no
particular pains TO conceal their contempt for
all such citizens as do not yield TO the will ol
the minority.
The treating Of people dlsrespectfully never
wins strength with the voters.
Some of the people seem to think that q
system Of property or educational qualifica.
tion should be adopted, whereby poor people
and uneducated people may be denied the ex-
ercise of their right to vote. TO The adoption
of any such system the Press and Banner
would protest.
mans honesty, integrity, good citizenship
or patriotism in this country is not measured
by his education or his wealth.
The placing Of the examination Of citi-
zen's educational qualification into the hands
Of committee. gives too great an opportuni-
~ for favoritism or tyranny, and such an ex-
animation is offensive in ITSELF
We know not what Is needed, but II we are
to have change We are inclined to think that
the Australian ballot system is the best and
least Objectionable. That system seems to be
exactly fair to all.

South Carolinians need 10 be united In feel
ing and sentiment. and those who are sowing
the seeds Of distrust and hatred, are doing 6
harm to the welfare Of this people.
All true South Carolinians love this State
and the best citizenship would lead to friend
ship and good will between the people. There
is no reason for estrangement. Let each mar
hold his own peculiar views, and let hin
make as many converts to his way Of think
ing as he can, but let no man doubt the sin
cerity and honesty Of those who differ from
him.
There is no essential difference In the pat
rlotism or honesty of the different factions
Each contends for the right as he sees 1t, ant
whoever distrusts his neighbor, excites dis
trust in himself and the act brings weakness

trusts a neighbor, who an impartial jury
might judge to be as good and as worthy as
his accusers..

Without respect TO the age Of any, and re-.

ALI are bidden to come unto the bounteous
feast, which their royal hands have prepared

shall have gone down In glory beyond the
Western hills and when the evening star in
splendor shall have appeared above the hor.

The overhanging branches of the monarchs

Beautiful women, brave men, innocent
youth, trusting old age; all will be there with
intermingled joy-each giving, and each re.

OF us all.
No messengers will be sent into the high
ways and the streets of the city to compel the
unwilling to come unto this feast, which is TO
celebrate their own natal day, and which Is
given in their personal honor.
Those who care not for the loving kindness
which has been conferred upon them will be
allowed to 60 their way.
In their pleasure, they will retire from the

have been generously prepared for them by
beautiful hands and loving hearts without
price and without money.

State Banks Of Issue.

The Press and Banner would register Its
protest against the repeal .of the ten per cent
tax on the bills issued by State banks.
The National Banking system is the best
thing that resulted from the war.
There are citizens living to-day who can
recollect something Of the trouble which the
citizens realized from banks that issued bills
that were worthless, and which were often
passed upon the good citizen. The majority
of the banks had only local reputation, and
their bills were practically without value
when they reached distant cities or remote
country towns. and were actually without in
trinsic value at home.
Before the war q man might have a pocket
full of local bank bills, and in two days time
he could travel where all his money would
scarcely buy q meal or q nights lodging at q
cross roads dinner house.
There may be good and sufficient reasons
for the demand for more greenbacks, or good
money Of any kind, but we can conceive OF
no good reason for flooding the country with
the issue OF worthless State bank bills, or
with bills which at best have only local rep.
utation.
Such bills often die on the hands Of the peo-
pie who have sought to save something, or II
kept in circulation they are constant source
of annoyance and loss.
We believe In the issne of bills by the gov
ernment in which the people in every part OF
the country will have confidence, but we do
not wish to see the people cheated by money
which in fact Is worthless.
We make no pretense at understanding the
financial sltuation in this country. Nobody
but an ignorant seltconceited ass would pre-
sumo to solve that question. but we do know
that the public welfare does not demand trif
ling bills of issue from State banks or private
corporations.
