B. F. S?BPLE, Sec. Longnaires Club. EDITOR ADVERTISER : Allow me space in your paper to make a short statement of the result of the meeting of Hibler Democratic Club dh 9th of April. A motion to elect a local Executive commit tee by ballot was laid on the table by Till man i tes, by a vote of 55 to 53. Then the vote Was taken on election ' of executive committee with this result, 55 Til Im'an i tes and 53 con ser natives. I have been credibly informed thktfourof those who Voted with Tillman i tes Were under 21 y?ars of age. So I say Sheppard fairly won in Hibler. Notice change in two Jears. Two years ago Tillman re ceived in Hibler 160 votes and Earle received 32. If a vote was taken in Hibler to-day Sheppard would win by a good majority. I know whereof I speak, and I say "Old" Hibler will give ex-Gov. Sheppard ? good majority at the primary. Yours respectfully, LUKE D. WHITE. Longmires, S. C. Meeting Street Will Redeem Herself in August. Saturday the 9th of April the Meeting Street Club re-organized and elected delegates to the County Convention, and as there were only 91 of the 138 voters present, the club was carried for Sheppard. It was very amusing to see the Sheppard men elbowing around among the crowd asking for a lit tle priv?te chat with the few weak kneed brethren. I will venture the assertion that if left tb a'primary,; as ?t must be; jh-August, Meeting Street wil? bury Sheppard beyoncj hope of resurrection. I have seen quite a number of the club mern? 1 bers since the~ meeting and 'lam thoroughly convinced that fiad there been- a full attendance on the 9th there would haye beeb1 a very'different result. There are, beyond any ' doubts, some sore heads in this community who would move heaven and: earth to defeat the present administration}: brit tney^ay howl /as* much as they '???e now for they will,' int November, have to settle down to a low growl, "with a deeper scar and ? sorer head than they now enjoy. ; i notice the editor of the E dge field Chronicle last week says, "the opposing forces moved heaven and earth to have it otherwise, but: Edgefield was true to her princi-" pies and her man." Has not the Chronicle been howling at a great' rate to try to move somethin hallooing for all it is worth to g? the people to think it'is on th trail of better principles a,n greater economy in the government But,. Mr. Chronicle, we farme: cannot get any scent at all in you direction, and if you tree at all, i will be at the root of the sa: tree we are all barking up, that;; the Ben Tillman tree. Such' pers as the Chronicle are doin more to widen the breach th their ordinary influence would :i dicate. Some of the soreheads pumping it into the farmers the Tillman administration is t cause of tight times and scarcity of money, which' know to be a whopper. The of hard times is due to the Ti that we farmers raise cotton to)| exclusion of food crops. FARMER.?^ The following excellent anec dote comes in well just now : Congressman John Allen tells a good 'story. Referring to election day B down in Missisippi Mr. Allen told of an electioneerer who grandiloquently referred to the old saying : "The Office should seek the man, not the man the office." A few days afterward the speaker was noticed electioneer ing in old-fashioned style, With drinks and cigars, etc. Being called down arid asked about his assertion of a few d?ys ne'fo're that "the office should seek the man," he replied : "I still maintain my position. The ofnce should seek th? ni?n, but, Dy^^; sahl fte man should be around when the bm is looking for him." ? Girl's Yo un gr Man. A lady who modestly confesses to having had "experience" tells us in the Chicago Tribune what kind of yoting man a woman likes best. To begin, "straight limbs, ? handsome open countenance and fine bearing" go a good w?ys in gaining a lady's favor, as they certainly have a right to do. Then the woman likes a man to be thoroughly well groomed and neat and quited in hi's dress. The mysterious, magnetic quality of sympathy also enters largely into the make-up of the successful l?dy killer. "His manner toward woman is a flattering combination deference and attraction." Th? refined girl knows instinctively when she meets him that whatever h?pp?nt he will never betray faith with a woman. If, too, he would at once fascinate woman and hold them he must impress them with a sense of power in some form. Women ?dore power and achievement in horse and man. Finally, it is the graceful, delicate little attentions that make up the sum of life to a woman, whether she be sweetheart, maiden, aunt or wife. The girls [ -heaven bless them-all like ice cream, bonbons and flowers. Solomon's temple, as described in the Scriptures, would not be regarded as a very imposing structure in this day and age of the world. Its length was 7(? feet ; breadth 36 feet, and it was 54 feet in height, with a portico oi veranda 36 feet long and 18 feet wide. Colorado has a newspaper called The Watermelon. ck Heels on White Necks." A few days sinc? the Greenville ws ptthlished one of the most trageous editorials we h?ve J er read in a Southern paper, give a few ?xtrabts from that ible menace to the white ers in our State. It starts by saying: ' ?"A number of Democrats of the tate who oppose the proserft Iministration have worked hard > prevent a split - among the hite people. They understood ie danger of having a faction of Jdte men, .however, shall, .resenting respe?tability,. in n?e and wealth, outside the ines pf the Democratic party." We would just here ask, was it] "those "who oppose the present [ dmihistration" who were the bolt in 1890, arid who appealed to ie negro to defeat the nominees bf te Democratic party? And were ot these same men the leaders the convention that placed the heppard-Orr ticket in the field? e deny'that the Thirteen's Con ehtion and Haskellite faction as ? News intimates represents the spectability, influence ' and ealth" of our State. When a j ^an guides the plow, or toils for his;daily bread, he can be and is Jas respectable as the bloated f hondholder or president of a rail road, a bank or a cotton mill. So I far as influence in concerned, our blican form of goverment needes that power to thema The dictatorial influence ?realth the people intend to ^curtail, and keep it in the proper | Ipj^re. It was to place this power raver the people that the Piedmont Jdirectors were consulted before .candidate for Governor ot South ^Carolina could be nominated; but, ?hank God, their little scheme to {.enthrone wealth and corporate power as the rulers of free born Carolinians was exposed, and the .jpeople will now understand the real issue in our State campaign. jSi'at one paragraph in the Green News is an insult to every u who-does not wear the purple and who earns his bread by thu ? sweat of the brow. But here comes in a dire threat, that will make the blood of every Democrat and believer in white supremacy over the African boil in his veins. Read it, and see if it does not stir your heart and nerve your arm for the contest now upon us. The following menace is not taken from Yankee bloody-shirt-waving Bheet, but from a South Carolina paper, professing to be a Democratic organ, arid whose editor boasted that he was reared on the farm and in full touch with the people | -a paper now upholding the Sheppard-Orr banner : "But suppose we split? t . "? very large part of the wealth and brains of the State will not go into a Aird party. .It - will go. into, the Republican party sb soon as it is plain that the Democratic party has gone td pieces. "Let twenty-five . thousand intelligent, courageous, respectable white men with money behind them become Republicans, and take charge of the nejgro vote to mould and Use it, and what will ? be.the result? "The negroes now have a ma jority of from 20,000 to 40,000. de's anybody believe that any considerable part of . that vote would go for ? third party with t?e Republican party representing wealth and intelligence demanding its help? "With white men to back it the negro vote would swarm out of the rice fields and sea islands and cot ton plantations in the lower part of the State, so that a unanimous vote this side of Columbia could not touch it.. With white men interested in enforcing the election aws and aiding, the machinery of the United States Courts would | be used against any opposition to Republicanism with fearful effect, With a few votes from the South to help it the force bill would be made a law, and then it would be goodbye' for the masses of the white people in the State. They would be hopeless and helpless political slaves under the control j of a solid negro vote backed by money power at home and abroad and.Federal bayonets if necessary." We do not endorse the third party movement, as it menaces the success of the Democracy ; but if it comes to the issue of the Peo ple's party against the Republican party, we cannot soe how any Southern man could hesitate for an I instant. The one is certainly in tended as a reform movement, while the other is the embodiment of class legislation and oppression ; and to that party does South Caro lina ow? her shame and humilia tion. Then how could a son of the old Palmetto State get his consent to reinvest with power this mon ster evil, "synonymous of all that is villainous, vile and degrading? The corporations 'that dictated the ticket''supported"by the Greenville News 'may go into the Republican party-for its principles give them the privilege of exactiug a usu rious profit on their capital-but we deny that one South Carolina Democrat in one hundred, yes, in a thousand, would so debase and prostitute himself in order to de feat the will of the majority of our white voters. If the third party is organized in our State, it will be fought from b?hind the ramparts of Democracy, and not by coal?scing with Republicans and negroes, as the News threatens will be done. But that Greenville paper even goes further than-* this. It threatens that if any number of our Alliancemen decide to vote for the third party, that the wealth of our State will go into the rice fields and sea islands, and with the votes of ignorant and purchasable blacks trample the white majority in our upper counties under foot, and place the heel of the African laborer upon the political neck of the Anglo Saxon farmer ; that if the money and corporations of our State can't rule it, they will crush the white majority and Africanize it. And then the Greenville News threatens these honest white farmers with the infamous force bill and bayonet rule. It says that the white masses in our State will be made hopeless and helpless political slaves, under the con trol of a solid negro vote, backed by the money power at home and abroad, and Federal bayonets, if necessary. Now let the organs of that corporation-dictated ticket deny The Register was wrong when it exposed the conspiracy between the defeated politicians and corporations to rulo South Caro lina and make slaves of its people ! Here is an avowal from one of ... .the-leaders- in - that- -Thirteen's, convention, and the up country organ of the ring ticket, who says that the white mases will be crushed by negro votes, backed by the money power at home and abroad, and, if necessary, even the force bill will be passed and put into effect ! The editor of the Greenville News cannot evade his menace by saying that it was meant only in the event of an organization of the third party in this State. We cannot dictate what ticket a voter shall cast, for this is a free conutry and we live under a republican form of government. If the third party is made an issue, have we not our Democratic voters to combat it with? And in that event, will it not be the duty of our members to J stand the closer together, instead of a defeated minority accepting this new party as an excuse to unite with the party that sought to bankrupt and disgrace our State, and reinvest with power an ignorant and venal class of voters? Had the editor of the News rather aee his State ruled by wealth at home and abroad, and brutal Africans from the sea islands, than by the intelligent white farmers of upper Carolina, and from whom he derives his supporc? But the editor of the Shepp?rd Orr organ in Greenville certainly does not know his own people. Let his crowd aiempt such methods as he threatens, and he will see that the spirit of resist ance is not yet desd in Our people. Does the News editor suppose that the "white mases," as he terms the farmers of our State, will submit to having their votes and their rights overthrown by the money power and negro votes? By the Eternal, no I So long as there is a drop of Carolina blood coursing through the veins of our people such a disgraceful state of affairs as predicted by this Greenville paper will never exist in our midst. The yeomanry of the Palmetto State would again raise the banner of revolt and shed their blood like water before submitting to be robbed by capital and ruled by negroes 1 The Greenville News has drawn the lines in the pending State campaign, and we only hope that every white voter will read this menace. It endorses every word the Register has printed, and throws a flood of light on the de signs of at least a portion of the mon who placed the Sheppard-Orr ticket in the field. For the honor of our State we trust that the editor of the Green ville News will be able to explain away the editorial we have re produced. We studied it for days I with . the desire that some other construction than we have made could be placed upon it. But the words are so clear and explicit, and the menace so diabolical and dire, that it now becomes our duty to give it to the public, and ask every white Democratic voter in ; the State to read and ponder on it. We cannot see, after this expose of the designs of the "wealth of our State," how a man. who has the prosperity of our people and the supremacy of the white race at heart, can vote for a ticket put into the ifield and chaperoned hy the editor of the Greenville News. -Register. The Pardoning Power. Gov. Tillman's alleged abuse of the pardoning power has been frequently referred to and he has been sharply criticised for Iiis too free uso of it, and at the mass meeting on March 22nd last one of the speakers dilated extensively on the matter until one would al most think the whole kit of penitentiary convicts were about to be turned loose upon socie ty. As well as we remember the state ment was made that but one gov ernor since 1876 had exceeded him iu the number of pardons J tl issued and the dramatic pathos with which it was uttered was cheered to the echo. But the cold facts which we submit below only show how wildly reckless public speakers are sometimes in their utterances and how recklessly people sometimes believe what }hey want to believe. Here is the record : Hagood, 1880-81-28 pardons and commutations. par par- E par par years Tillman Hagood, 1881-82-27 pardons | and comutation8. Thompson, 1882-83-34 pardons | and commutations. Thompson, 1883-84-53 pardons;^ and commutations^ Thompson, 1884-85-34 pardons and commutations. Thompson, 1885, to July 9,1886 -43 pardons and commutation. Sheppard, July 12, to Novem ber 23, 1886-36 pardons and commutations. Richardson, 1886-87-59 dons and commutations. Richardson, 1887-88-92 dons and commutations. Richardson, 1888-89-^61 dons and commutations. Richardson, 1889-90-71 dons and commutations. Tillman, 1890-91-34 pardons \1 and commutations. Tillman, November 23, 1891, to April 13,1892-52 pardons and commutations. This is the record for ten and so far from Gov, having issued more pardons than any other governor the record shows that Gov. Richardson issued more pardons in each of his four years than Gov. Tillman, and that Sheppard during the short time he was governor, a period a little less than five months, issued more pardons and commutations than Tillman, and | j that Thompson during two of his years issued exactly the same number as Tillman during his first year, and in one of the years issued more, while Hagood is the only one who during the decade issued fewer pardons and com mutations than Tillman. During the fourjyears of the administration Thompson and Sheppard together there was an average of exactly 50 pardons and com mutations a year. During Richardson's four years, there was an average of a fraction over 70 a year. Now we aro not disposed to criti cize either of these governors for their exercise of this merciful prerogative of their high' office, but we submit that in common fairness the facts should be stated and that Gov. Tillman should not be charged with sins of which he is not guilty-People's Advance. 3 J When a young man thinks that he knows more than his father he gets the idea that the world is progressing.
