how our candidates stand Oh the fac

Two years ago everybody proclaimed
that facti0nalism (if there is such i,

his followers insultcd General lamp

Is it true. Mr.. Editor, that 1'illman.
whilst protesting not to lc siding with
any particular candidate in the race
for Governor has passed around the
word that the "taithful'' must vote for
Gary! 1t IS SO reported, and it seems
from current comment on the street to
be true. Well, Mr.. 1'illman tried in
the race between Earle aud Evans to
dictate to the people OF Anderson how
they should vote; but he failed miscra
independent, thinking people of this
County lie will fail again. The day
has gone by when he can crack his
whip over the heads of Anderson pcO-
pie and make them dance to his will
Is it truo that ticket for County
offices has been arrangcde if not sllg-

enough men to fill out the Legislative
ticket. Is this 'ring rule" 1t looks
so to Il man up IL tree.
Do the people OF this County believe
that the preachers are II set OF liars and
hypocritcs: An "insOlent hierarchy"
because they dare to entertain opinions
which do not accord with those of
Senator Tllman! DO the people be
lievc that Ben Tillman knows more
about religion, morality, virtue, truth
and honesty than do Bishop duncan,
Bishop Cnpers. DR. Gardner, DR.. Car
isle, Mr.. Richardson, and others like
them! If our people believe that, then
let lis shut up our Churches and wei
come the sentiment which prevailed
during the black days Of The French
Revolution, and let us admit that Till
man is bigger and greater than moral
ity and religion, superior to law, and
above criticism.
Mr.. Editor, one Of the greatest Com
mOners and Democrats, though in
name Republican, that this country
ever produced, said: "YOu may fool
some of the people some of the time,
you may fool all the people some Of
the time, but you can't fool all the
people all the time" We have got in
this County brave people who won't
be led by the nose. They intend to
vote for their honest convictions, and
Tillman can't fool them any longer,
