"Governor TillmaR promised to save
you SlU0 0G0 year if elected. He has
not doue it.
"The dispensary was never demand
of the Reform movement. 1t has De-
come, in my judgment, huge political
machine.

know that large number of men have
been appointed constables all over the
State, and each constable q friend and

A MENACING DANGER
TO the rights and liberties of the people
of South Carolina. 1t has been con-
Quoted in such way as to cause bad
blood among our people, and / am sor-
ry to say it has been the cause OF the
shedding of the blood of our people:
Private residences have been searched
without cause or provocation at the

power by the executive prevented.

constitutional convention, and yet the
executive com uittee Of the Democratic
party has refused to send out tickets
which would enable You to vote against
it. l have had them printed through
the kindness of friends and you will

to the people for ratification.
PARTING WORD
"Now, my friends, the peace and
harmony of our people have been de-
stroyed by evil and designing men for
the purpose of perpetuating themselves
in power. This is not only wrong but
it is unchristian. Those you are taught
to hate and despise are your own
brothers, sons, fathers, neighbors and
friends.
SAYS IT'S INDUSTRIOUS.
"It is monstrous in the extreme, and
YOU should put your feet down upon it.
A movement that must be upheld by
such Will sooner or later end in infamy.
In 1892 I Was editing daily journal
in this State. Objections were raised
by certain leaders to my editing it, be-

abuse the opposition.
AS TO CAN'T.
II found it out and resigned the posi-
ton and one was brought in who for bit.
terness and vindictiveness has no equal
in journalism in South Carolina. 1have
told you these things, because believe
it is my duty to do so, in order that you
may see how evil and designing men

power. You have the opportunity to
