Tillman, it appears from the newspapers, denies the truth of the matters contained in Mr. Ancrum's Wtoiv Somebody. evidently, is badly | in error". What has become of the savings bank proposed by the Alliance? This was a move in the right dire lion, and we had hoped that the Alliance would successfully execute the scheme. 1^,1 Says th? (<re?'nvilie Xeics: "Let everv fillm i:i mitn stand to his gu;is nutil the !a*t is fired, doing all he can t? ket-p ?! ?* n stride bat plac-: ing ilii? rt?si>??:?-iw i \ tor strife whero J it belong* ami >f*Mi inhering that he h | ti ft?tinjf tor a j..i riple." To which we i>ay hiik-h. No one that opposes Gen. Bratton for Governor, with any reason whatever, can deny his absolute justice and fairness in private or political life. No one dreams that General Bratton would use any trickery or any underhanded method to injure our person for the sake of another. Every Democrat can safely rely upon receiving his due in any matter that would come before such a Governor. General I>ration's record in the past proves this. ii ii m If the Alliance would unite with a determination to reduce the tariff, the condition of the farmer would be greatly improved and we would not hear of the err of high taxes and the need of retrenchment and reform in the State Government. The trouble is the tariff has become more and more burdensome each year ana as it is an ? indirect tax its great depression upon the farmer is merely passive. The farmer is not conscious of the real cause of his burden. This fact was predicted by John C. Calhoun years - ago. *1 u "We will attention to the letter of Col Lipscomb, Superintendent of the penitentiary, which reputes the . charge that the institution had been a burden to the State and wa^. not self supporting. Some time ago we made the statement that the penitentiary was making clear money and our authority for the assertion was the official reports of the institution winch we then had in our possession. We know of one intelligent and honest man who confidently believed that the assertion made by Capt. Tillman was tme until he was shown the reports. If there ar? any more doubting ones, we can show thein from the records that the penitentiary has paid money into the State treasury above expenses. Read Col. Lipscomb's letter for the figures, and you will see how the penitentiary is xnanaged. | X? Walk Over for Anyone. Much of Captain Tillman's strength has come from the adhesion of those who, in the language of Pickwick, v desire to "shout with those who shout the loudest," and assumed that the voting would be measured by the shouting". There are many such votes in the State. Another large portion of Captain Tillman's strength has come from those who believed that the governt *? ment had been corrupt and needed a cleansing. These have found that such charges were without foundation, and they are drawing- off. On the other hand many did not approve of Capt. Tillman's candidacy, yet seeing no strong show of opposition took for granted he would be elected, held their peace. J5ut now w that they see so many others of their wav of thinking thev are encouraged I to speak out and to unite. "While it is impossible to predict the result, it is now conceded there will be no walk over for anybody, and that the advocates of Bratton and Earle are growing stronger every day, while September is yet a good while oft". Political Inconsistences We wish our readers to ponder the following fact*. For yiar* the Democrats of Laurens have drutanded a State primary, i Lauteno led the movement in the State Convention four jears ago. Nttwthey r~' oppose if. In the beginning of the campaign the Charleston World claimed that Tillman had carried ADDevuie oy a vow; 01 2,SOO to 900. Now the alleged 2,800 refuse to enter a primary against the alleged 900. The fundamental plank of the March platform calls for a State primary to be held in August it is reported that the last conference of Captain Tillman's adeoca.es opposed the primary. The object of the March Convention was said to be the breaking up of bossistn and packed conventions uud cut and dried tickets. Col. E. B. Gaiy says he was offered the caudidacy for U Lieuteuant Governor by Cap J. Shell. Another object was "toi have a change." Capt. Tillman is jhe only candidate on the ticket who has" not held office before. If is a fanners' < ticket, c>?ni{)'?^ed <>t one fanner and five lawyers. It Win coiiaitlered important not to have ilelcyateb chosen until Ati^u>t. r r > i I.Ka L".?r-Hfcf Hampton, union ami ville ijjtVe rlecu'd delegates already for conventions. We ire informed that ilie Union ami Laurens conventions are not based on population or membership. Each township sends the >ame number 01 delegate?, regardless of the voting' strength. Yet the strongest card Captain Tillman plays is that about apportionment. Two years ago Captain Tillman who was avowedly not a candidate followed Governor Richardson around the State making speeches. Now his followers denounce the County Chairmen that allow any other than candidates to ?peak. These inconsistence* may not hear fruit at present, owing to the heated canvass which blinds reason. But they are bound in the long run to react disastrously on tho>e who practice them in the face of their own protest against holism and suppression of the will vf;he people. X'atfonal Politics. Don't loose sight of national politics, even though we are in the midst of a sea of political turmoil at home. Issues of untold importance are transpiring at the National Capital and unless our whole people unite their whole might and power to help overthrow the adverse tendencies of Federal misrule, we will suffer such a onoc/vn tv-fonTiv miso-overnmeut. as has scarcely been equalled in the most perilous times of our history. Teach the rising generation to study national questions, and impress on thctn how a misdirected national policy affects even the most secluded spots in our country. There is much corruption in national affairs, it always has been more or less so and when our people were free from the existence of present conditions, we had more thorough students iu the principles of government; and such a galaxy of brilliant statesmen as we had in the earlier days of the Republic has never been equaled eveu in this age of intellectual culture auu SCieHllllC auuicycmcnu-'. The great questions of our government and its policy which our forefathers discusscd with all the foresight and patriotism of true statesmen are no* become the property of shrewd politicians, and made the agents of a narrow sectionalism and it takes ihc united effort of all our j>eople to stem the tide with wh'ch a tyraunical federal legislation is trying to sweep our country. To study these things is to learn more of our government, to get a better insight into its principles and to be more able to see the results of bad legislation on all sections of our coun try. "We are so situated now that we overlook outside politics in the present crisis at home and vre think tbat the results of the iniquitous tarill are responsible in a great measure for the oriw-Lf that some of our people are charging the conduct of our own state affairs with having produced. There has been no more equitable administration of public affairs any where than we have had in South Carolina, and th* charges of fraud and corruption that have been made against her, have been trumped up by shrewd politicians in our midst with le?s of patriotic desire, and more for office gain thau comes from the tru'y disinterested statesman.

Up to about that lime they simply pooh-poohed the whole thing; but like Banquo's ghost it would not down.

It seems strange to an intelligent mind. Yet nevertheless true, they are all 4<of a sameness/' and almost compel the belief that the edition was stereotyped. Of all weak arguments emanating from great minds, they most assuredly cap the climax. One moat doughty Senator from the great State of Alabama, is so hard pressed for arguments, as to resurrect the wild cat schemes of Mississippi and the old State Bank of Alabama and olFer them as arguments against the sub-treasury plan as though J one Denny bank or State could sue-j cessfully cope with the power of the | irigantic corporations and combinations ! oft be present day.

Editor*: We took advantage of our vacation 10 maKe a uvuix mt> to Union, and thought lhat we would "ive tiie read its of our newsy and undaunted county paper. The News axd Herald, some of the things we heard and >aw along the route. In company with man's best and truest companion, his wife, we hoarded the train at Shelj tjn and were soon flying through the i once fertile fields of Union County. We do not mean bv this language to sa> that all of Union County is a waste, onlv a part of what we saw along the line of railroad from She 1 ton to Union C. 11. After leaving the town by private conveyance, traveling westward in the direction of Laurens, we saw ome as fine crops as ever grew, particularly about Col. McBeth's and alonj* Tiger and Fair Forest livers, also in and around Cross Keys. / The people whom we met were cheerful, and judging from the general appearance of their surroundings they were prospering. Cheeriulness is one of the best evidences of prosperity, and whenever met with is sure to be surrounded bv a sufficiency of the necessaries of life. We do not hesitaie to say that we believe the industrious farmers of Union are about as contented a set of yoomaiirv as we have met eutside of Fairfield. They are rronorniic tutil ho>r?> t fthle. OVei* IVIUMf ^vuv? vt?v ?r 7 _ - __ ready to lend a helping hand to ihe deserving needy. They also seem to be waking np to the advantages of railroad facilities, which needs no mention here. Politically, Union goes for Tillman for Governor. Cut our own big hearted Braiton has uiany friends in Union County, even those who differ with him politically are personally his friends. And amrty the many with whom it was our pleasure to talk not one ever spoke a single word ajainst him. JLJnt how could they? A man whose character is spotless, whose inj tegrity is undoubted, and whose pa| trioiism is too pure to be touched by the pcil 01 me bisuueais, iswunnv uui only of their kind words, but we believe that he i? entitled to the generous support of every voter in South ,Carolina. Allow us to borrow a little from the immortal Hayne. No milter what be the condition of the domest ic affiirs of South Carolina, though deprived of her resources, surrounded by diffi cnlties, or divided by parties, the c:ill of his State hag always been to him as the voice from liod. A* a private soldier, as a company's officer, a* a regimental commander, a* a Brigadier Gei.eral, a? an officer of fctate, as a repre*etilative of his Slate at the National Capital, and us a farmer and ! private ei^zcu, duty has ever been his wartchward, and he performed it. with a zealous care and due regard to good ending. We sincerely hope that au era will soon dawn upon us when the scrutiny of our observant people will be more considerate, an era when errors in speech will not be construed into intentional falsehood nor mistakes in the complicated affairs of our gov eminent construed into theft. But let ilie names (hat have so long shone brightly upon the escutcheon of our grand old commonwealth continue to shine until they sink by something more tangible than mere surmise. What thev are, of what they have been will not detract fro in ttie honest effort* of any man who desires to ekvate himself among his fcllowmeu, but, on the other hand, it will be an inspiration to lift him to the higher spheres of life. It wtts our pleasure during the trip lO Oe LUKCII 1(1 uuai'sc u\ LIIUL IIH.V ui hospitality, Maj. Rubt. J, Defpoll. of Oo?8 Keys. 1 he Major was an :er in the J7ih S. C. Regiment, and gave us several interesting incidents ot that eventful period, the war, The Major is one of Union's most successful planters He commenced after the war at tne foot of the ladder, but by close application to business, ami tin* proper use of economy, lie stand* to-day un independent mail. In tnost things he is a very modest man till he comes to | talk of his estimable wife, and she is I indeed entitled to hi* most lavish praise. We know her to be a loving j wife, a kind mother, a nodest bnt enj tertaining acquaintance, a noble reprei coi.rotivp r?f h rmlil* hi?r?? of revolution ary lame. She is the great granddaughter of Isaac Van Wert, who with John Paulding and David Williams, captured Maj. Andrew near Tarrytown. Her maiden name was Miss M. Kale Van Wert. This briugs us back to our humble sphere at home where duty stares us in the facc whichever way we turn. Well, we accept it in good faith, and will try to act our part. The crops from Feasterville to Monticello are very promising, and unless they are cut off by storm or drought an abundant harvest will crown the efforts of the farmers in this section. Mr. J. B. Giadney, of this neighborhood, hai a v??rv sensible mule. He was plowing urn a iew aavs auu when within a few rows of finishing up a piece of corn, lie sstt>pp"d and left the mule hitched to the plow; after having been gone for some time the ! mule, of his own accord, turned into I the rows and dragged the plow after j him till lie had dragged it twice I through each row and then went to the house. Bring in another mule. We neglected to mention before that Union is far ahead of Fairfield in the number of her candidates for county offices. She already has twenty-nine in the tield and too re tu hear from. Among those announced is a lady lor School Commissioner, Miss Eliza A. Garner. She proposes to conduct the duties of the office for $140 per annum and donate the balance of her salary to geneial school purposes. Politics are assuming interesting proportions in and around Monticello. The Dratlon men are confident, while the Tillman men are equally so. Saturday will relieve the minds of both parties, as on that day the great question as to who the people of Monticello will support for Governor will be decided. Will the voters of Fairfield allow this golden opportunity to honor a faithful servant escape them? Is there any reason for it? More anon. VERITAS. An Atlanta Lady's Sail Condition.

Instead of lessening your tax, it has had to go into the State House and borrow money to run itself."' Tuis occurred at La n caste. In the Xeics and Courier of July the | 10th, in the report of the Sumter meet ing, there appears this passage: "L'n- | der the head of 'further rascalit\' Cap- j tain Tillman paid his respects to tlw? 5 conduct ot the penitentiary, declaring j it to be a burden on the people instead f of a support to itself." If Captain Tillman had had any ctesire whatever to be fair and truthful in his statements in regard to the pewtentiarv he could with very little trouble have secured the reports of the ihsiituiion for all oi" the years since I have had the honor to preside over it. aud would thereby have seen that there was no earthly excuse for making the statements he is reported to have made.' In the annual report of the peuiten- ] tiary lor t he ti>ical year endiug October 31st, 188S, there occurs this statement: 'There seems to be a disposition on the party of many of the citizens of the State to complain that the penitentiary is not self-supporting-, and that it should be made a revenue to the Stale, particularly since the General Assembly granted the loan to us two years ago. While I do not agree with those who think that the prison should be made a source of revenue, 1 do agree with those who desire to sec it self-supporting, and I think it proper at this timu to reproduce here a statement which appeared in my report for the year rr?ifl? of'lijltwino oo T iOW UVj YTicll OUVU CtUUillVS HO AO J, Lllllia necessary to express in money value what lias been done by the prison in the last ten \ ears, and to show conclusively to any unprejudiced mind that it has been largely more than selfsustaining." The statement referred to is as follows* Improvement of prison, estimated, $20,000 per year tor eight years,..SI60,000 00 Cash to Treasurer 40,COO 00 Cash expended on Columbia canal 44,579 58 Railroad scrip received for hire of convicts bv Act of L>*ffislatore 14 9S7 3J> Land purchased 7,375 00 | Improvements on farm.... 1,000 00 j . $267 941 911 From which deduct the entire amount appropriated lor eight years... 105,oSl 47 Balance of profit $1G2,560 44 Besides the entire support of the prison for >ix years, the work done on the i'unol f.n> I...If \y\J (UIIIU4U VW4IU1 IVI luut Mini <* nan years, arid t he brick made and the worK dune for the State iion>e Commission this vear, the cyclone in 1880 and" the explosion ?f the boiler in 1885 ouised a loss ot about 810,000, and reduced the showing made above by that amount. The abave statement brought down t? the present time would be as follows: Balance of profit above....? 102,560 44 Work on the canal for tour and a halt years 120,00") 00 Work for State House Commission three years.... 1,250 00 L'liul purchased last two wars 2 82a 00 Yalueoflive stock, catlie, hog's, &c., on State lai uis G,(KiO 00 Improvement ol prison last two year? 25,000 00 Total $222,GS5 44 Deduct loans..$25,000 00 And all salaries for two years 12,G00 00 37,000 00 . Balance of profit $285,035 44 The engineer of the Columbia canal, m ws repurt xur me years isoo-oo, states that there had been expended in the prosecution of the work 244,193 days labor. Besides this there was expended a large amount of labor on the same enterprise before and after his connection with it amply sufficient, in my judgment, to make a total of 250,00*0 days' labor, which I have put at 50 cents per capita per day, the amount we are receiving for labor within the prison, making a total of $125,000 as stated above. A careful perusal of the above and a little thought on the part of any one disposed to cavil at the management of the prison for the last ten Tears, it seems to me, should silence all complaint, particularly when it is remembered that the prison has been supported during eight years of the time without a dollars appropriation for the maintenance or improvement of any kind from the State Treasury, except the loan deducted above. Tlxis statement was furnished by me to Captain G. W. Shell., and he promised me that he would call Captain Tillman's attention to it. This was previous to the Sumter meeting, and I have no doubt that Captain Shell did what he promised me to do, as he stated tlinf-. if. w,is! wrftiio" -fnv a Captain Tillman to make such charges. Besides this, General Earle, in his speech at Camden, read this statement in vindication of the penitentiary management, and left 110 excuse for Captain Tillman to reiterate his charges as he did at Sumter. The penitentiary, while it has been unrW niv nersonal management since 1879, lias had over it and me a board of directors, which lias been changed eleven times since I took charge. These boards have been composed of such men as George A. Shields, Richland County; A P. Butler, Aiken County; AV. K. Bradley, Abbeville County, sines dead: E. S. Allen, Spartanburg County.; J. C. Seegers, Richland County; D.F. Bradlev, Pickens County; C. S. McCall, Marlboro County: B. II. Massey, York Countv, since dead: C.

Sanders, Sumter County; Amos Davis, Fairfield County; Thomas Anderson, Fairfiield County. And I am satisfied that there is 110 honest man in this State who will believe Captain Tillman's un- ' supported eliarge of "rascality" against such men as these. It was their duty . to revise and examine these reports before they were printed, and inform themselves as to their correctness, and they invariably did so to their entire satisfaction. Iu addition to the statement for the year 1888, the report for the year 188'J shows that the penitentiary had a balance on hand over and above the expenses for that year, in caslf and available assets, $30,S80.o0, which the Board of Directors were authorized to retain j for the support of the prison and the purchase of a farm. I have in my possession a letter from ' Captain G. "VV. Shell, in which he states that the charges in the proclamation of i ________ the Faraijers'Association "were not intended :ts an assault upon me or my personal, management.'7 and I had hoped i hat Captain Tillman would have re framed from making such uuwarran led charge* about the penitentiary. Some of hi.- anient supporters I have been and arc my warm personal J friendjs and advocates, and I am j satisfi ed do not endorse Captain Till-1 man's slanders, for they know them to be faJse. And 1 do not hesitate to call upon, the honest thinking men of both factions to repudiate any such slan- j cierocBs statements. Ijci conclusion, I would say that if Captain Tillman intends to impute to me personally any "rascality" in my management of this institution, I will be constrained to denounce him as a mischievous demagogue and an unscrupulous liar.
