them are the Tillman variety, who
| admit the rottenneSS and stealing,
but claim that it can be washed and
| regenerated, and the Blease brand,
who like it best as it is, but on one
point they are agreed-they don't
want the light turned on. There is
nobody whom they attack with such
venom as the man with the search
Ilight.-Chester Lantern.
| Mr.. Fraser Lyons reply to Senator
Tnlman was genteel, cool and delib-
crate, and therefore all the more ef-
fective. He didn't lose his head and
hy off at the handle, but came back
with calm argument. In the exchange
he certainly came out ahead. He prop-
ably convinced Senator Tillman himself
that he, Tillman, endorsed what the
minority members of the investigating
committee has done. Mr.. Lyons reply
was very effective.-Greenville News.
No candidate for the senate or house
of representatives should receive q
vote from the citizens of this county TILL
| he has made his position on the dis-
pensary clear. This county is against
the G. M. l. with its graft and steal
in, and the majority of the voters
are opposed to any man VINO is In
favor of maintaining that corrupter
of politics. Let the candidates speak
out in no mistakable terms-Chero-
kee has spoken and is not yet ready
to retract.-Cherokee News.
The people are in quite a differ
ent frame of mind to what they were
ten or fifteen years ago, and while
Senator Tillman is probably stronger
with the people than he was then,
he is not as strong when he under
takes to tell them what to do, or
what they must not do, and he Will
6nd that they are doing their own
thinking, and as stated, while they
will vote for him, they will not let
him dictate or direct what they
| should do in other matters, and we
think he will find the dispensary
question one of those other matters

with the minority on this question
as the senator would have wished.
The senator criticised the committee
because it did not force Mr.. Parker
to disclose the name of Lanahan
representative. On that question MT
Lyon voted as the senator would nave
wished. The senator criticised the
lcommittee for receding from its posi-
tion holding up whisky claims. Again
Mr.. LYON voted as the senator would
have advised. Yet Mr.. Lyon is the
one candidate for a state office Whom
the senator makes war upon.-NeWs

| o great and mighty Tlllman, from
whom all perfect political prognostl-
cations come, we beseech thee this day
| to give us our daily instructions In
| politics. so that we may be governed
thereby. Thou art the only true po-
litical god and unto thee we come TOT
succor and relief. Hast thou not CIV
en- to us the great moral institution
that has reduced CD drunkenness, de-
creased CD taxes, and taught us how
| to save our hard earned dollars by
passing them over the counters OF the
dispensary? Is it not thee, Q Ben)a-
min, who art too mighty and learned
to condescend to come down and can
vas the state as do other poor NOR
tails who are seeking the suffrage OF
the people? We beseech thee to fur-
give us for the sin Of poor LumpKin'
We ask thee to guide and direct us In
the path we should tread, for we are
meek and lowly and need a guide. All
this we ask in the name Of dispen-
sary graft. and Of demagoguery' OF
which thou are the chief, promising TO
| be guided by thee forever ana ever
lAmen.-Gaffney Ledger.
