Sheppard Replies. | j ED>EF.xtorH.-C.,'April 14 EDITOR ADVERTISER : In the is- f sue of your paper of this date, ap- > pears a"very temperate and respect ful editorial entitled "Advice to t Gov. Sheppard." r 1 You-thereby, in^jthe presence of the people of Edgefield county, j advise me to "withdraw.from the 1 pace" for Governor'of* South Caro lina. Permit me to say, in the pres ance of the same'audience, that I [lid not enter the - race for Gov srnor of my own accord; but was ?alled upon .'by a large body of representativei^u'th"^ Carolinians, a majority of whom were farmers, to go before the people as a candi- \ iate for Governor, upon a plat- li form of peace and unity in the Democratic party, which is essen- F bial to the maintenance of white 0 supremacy, which is essential to lf Ehe maintenance of good govern- y ment in our State. o I accepted the commission thus & imposed upon me as a high, and a g holy trust ; and shall hold it sacred 11 to my heart, without the slightest c regard to the consequences that ? may fall upon me. '?Hin bearing this message of peace \ ?o our-people, I shall not inflict r upon them a "useless, senseless, f and bitter conflict,".but will so J conduct myself, and the campaign, jj that yr???n the result is known, it t will be a m at ter.of patriotic pleas ure to every Demoorat in the State ?j to "close up" and march shoulder 8 to shoulder to certain victory for I the nominees of the party* c You may rely upon ifc Mr. Edi- 1 tor, that if our people shall "be t torn into 'factions, harassed and s distracted by the bitterness of the canvass, and convulsed, perhaps, 1 by internecine strife, brother 0 against brother, son against father," the fault will not be mine, a God knows that there was "bit- g terness" enough in 1890, was I re- ^ sponsible for that? My desire and t mission now is to beal the wounds * then inflicted, to close the breach ? then created, to the end that here after, as well as heretofore, the Democracy of South Carolina may be invincible at home, and re spected abroad, I acknowledge gratefully my]] indebtedness to the people of Edgefield county for the support they have given me, and for the honors they have conferred upon me; in their presence I declare that I have never been forgetful of their interest, nor unfaithful to any trust they confided to me ; and I obligate myself, by every con sideration that is binding upon my conscience, so to conduct my self as to justify their confidence in me. / Thanking you for your sugges tion '.'in the interest of peace and harmony," will you permit me to ask, if you sincerely believe that you are contributing to "peace and harmony," when you refer to some of our people as "Goat Dem ocrats," and others as "Sheep Democrats?" Are we not all Demo crats alike? Have you and I not stood shoulder to shoulder, hand in hand, in the past, in all that pertains to the honor of our State and the welfare of our people? So hereafter let us stand, for the honor of the State we love, and for the welfare of the people whose destiny is our destiny. Very respectfully, J. C. SHEPPARD. Haskellites on the "Sheep" Ticket and Committee! It'is abad thing for a candidate ;o have a rotten record ; it will al lays be coming up and bothering lim. It is a Banquo that will lot down and cannot be downed. ?VouM not some of the candidates m the Sheep Democratic ticket 'eel a little easier in conscience lad they not voted the Haskell ;icket? At any rate had they lot voted that ticket they would stand a some what better chance >f polling ballots. As it is they sannot hope to poll any but the ?askellite votes of two years ago, md not all of them. A Democrat said yesterday to a Register reporter : I do not know low many of the Sheep candidates roted the Haskellite ticket, but .' know that one at least did e,o md there may have been others. The people of the State would ike to hear from them on this lubject. Democrats only, need ipply to the Democratic party for .Sices. One of the nominees of he Sheep faction said he would ather vote for the blackest iadical that ever disgraced the state before he would cast his >allot for the Democratic nominee br Congress in his district, just >ecause the nominee of the Democracy of that district was a nember of the Farmers' Move nent. Can this man expect "Dem ocratic suffrages? It might also >e gently enquired how many nembers of the Sheep Executive ?ommittee bolted the regular Democratic nominations in 1890 md voted for the Independent la?didates. Some of them will loubtless dislike to answer this [uestion, but the people .will lemand an answer and will receive t. Several Haskellites are on the Jheep committees and they ?rill be a heavy incubus for the Sheppard to carry."-Columbia Register. The statements is made that 5ecretary Blaine intends resigning rom the Cabinet and residing in he South, probably Mississippi tr Louisiana. This of course, nean8 permanent retirement rom politics. But the state nent requires confirmation, and i> great deal of it. True Love. . A young man at the risk of his life laved a beautiful girl from drowning. 1er grateful father seized the rescuer of lis daughter by the hand, and in a voice rambling with emotion said: "Noble youth, to yon I am indebted or everything that makes life dear to oe. Which reward will you take 200,000 or the hand of my daughter?" "I'll take the daughter," replied the leroic rescuer, thinking thereby to get .otb the girl and the money. "You have well chosen," replied the grateful father, "I could not have given ?ou the $200,000 just yet, anyhow, as I lave not 1 aid np that amount, being only .n editor, but my daughter is yours for if e.

GRANTS MEMOIRS ORIGINAL $7.00 EDITION, No book has ever had such a sale in the United States as General Grant's Memoirs. Over 650,000 copies have already gone into the homes of the rich, but the subscription price of $7.00 has placed it beyond the reach of people in moderate circumstances. If 650,000 people have been willing to pay $7.00 for Grant's Memoirs, there must be a couple of million people in the United States who want Jthem, and will jump at the opportunity to buy at the low figure here offered. 1 We will send you General Grant's Memoirs, publishers' original edition, best paper, cloth, green and gold binding, hitherto sold by subscription at $7.00. For 50 cents and absolutely a proposition such as has never been mode in the history of book publishing. The two splendid volumes of Grant's Memoirs, of which 650,000 copies have already been sold not a cheap edition, but the best-for 50 cents ; provided you send your subscription to the ADVERTISER for one year, and also a subscrip tion of $3.00 for the Cosmopolitan Magazine, the brightest and cheap est of the great illustrated monthlies, itself equal to the best $4.00 magazine. If, however, you have Gront's books, the Cosmopolitan's offer will permit you to take instead, Gen. Sherman's Memoire, two volumes, sold by subscription for $5.00 Gen. Sheriden's Memoirs, two volumes sold by subscription for $6.00 Gen. McClellan's Memoirs, sold by subscription for $3.75. Gen. R. E. Lee's Memoirs, sold by subscription for $3.75. All of these are bound in cloth, green and gold, in uniform style with Grant's Memoirs. The Cosmopolitan and Edgefield ADVERTISER are sent postage pre paid, but the postage on the books at the rate of half .cent per ounce, must be remitted with the of der : Gen. Grant's Memoirs, 96 ounces, 48 cents ; Cen. Sheriden's Memoirs, 92 ounces, 46 cents ; Gen. Sher man's Memoirs, 84 ounces, 42 cents: Gen. McClellan's Memoirs, 52 ounces, 26 cents; Gen. Robt. E. Lee's I >oirs, 56 ounces, 28 cents, or books can be sent by express at the expense of the subscriber. Send at once $3.00 for year's subscription to the Cosmopolitan, $1.50 for year's subscription to the ADVERTISER and 50 cents for a set of memoirs-$5.00 in all- to v hich add postage on the particular set of Memoirs selected. Cheap Editions and reprints have been frequently offered by periodicals as premiums to subscribers, but never before has an origi nal subscription edition on best paper, and in cloth binding (sold at retail at $7.00), been reduced to fifty cents-probably less tuan the cost of the binding alone-and presented to the readers of a magazine upon receipt of fifty cents. Such an offer will never be made again. No publisher could af ford to make it unless he wished to present a magazine which he felt sure had only to be introduced to retain its permanent place on the family book table-a magazine just as interesting to the young boy or girl as to the oldest grey head. THE COSMOPOLITAN gives in a year, 1586 pages of reading by the ablest authors in the world, with over 1300 illustrations by clever artists, a magazine whose field is the world, and as the best test of merit is suocess, its growth from 16,000 to 100,000, copies within the past three years, best attests its worth.
