GETTING ON THE BAND WAGON.
Donaldsyille township is a very important
part Of the Saluda side, having interests COM
mon with our own, and the promoters of the
new county welcome them to front seat on
the band wagon, which, notwithstanding
strong opposition from without, and little
from within, is going In on schedule time. So
say the engineers and conductors.

MISTAKE AS TO OUR MOTIVES.
The friends of the new county have all
along expected the people OF Abbeville to do
every thing possible to thwart the movement.
not that II will injure AbbeVille but beneht
Greenwood. This Is only In keeping with n.y.
man nature, and communities, like individ.
uals, often spend more toward tearing down
others than in building up themselves Our
Abbeville friends had better put their opposi-
tion money into cotton mill, for our cause
will succeed despite their protests as any
movement with correct basic principles must
sooner or later.
PEN PICTURES.
In lieu of what we were wont to say Of the
Carolina campaign, we reproduce the follow
Ing perfect pen picture from the Atlanta Jour-
nal os Friday:
zone of the most improbable discussions
tina: has ever come to our attention Is that
which Is now going on between Senator But
ler and Governor 1illman, OF South Carolina.
.'These politicians are contending for the
Senatorship which Butler now holds ana
which Tillman wants and will probably get.
"Their speeches have little relation TO the
public questions. The main object OF each OF
the contestants seems to be to say as many
mean things about each other as possible ana
TO arouse the passions of the crowds that
waste their time by going 10 hear Them.
When these joint discussions between butler
and Tlllman are over probably not one man
In South Carolina will be one whit better In
formed on any issue of the day than ne was
before and If the people believe what the
speakers say about each other they must con
ciude that neither OF them Is nj TO be 2 Sena-
tor. There seems TO be very little dinerence
between Butler and Tilman, Judging them
by their records and utterances on polltlcaI Is
sues. Butler has gone almost as far as III
man in the propagation of financial heresies
and at the special session OF tne senate ap.
peared to be pandering TO the element that Is
In control of South Carolina politics, all ele-
ment that is nearer to Populism than TO true
Democracy. ,,---,,-
