The Anderson Intelligencer

A Red-Handed Warning.

The following, dated from this city and bearing the stamp of "special correspondence," appears in a copy of the New York Voice, the leading temperance paper of the country. The copy was sent to the governor's office, and pointing to it is the warning forefinger of a large hand put on with red ink.

"The Straightout Democrats opposed prohibition to a man in the recent fight over the Childs bill in this State, while the Tillman Democrats favored it in a mild form, as proposed in the Tillman (Senate) bill. Governor Tillman was evidently afraid to allow his administration to commit itself on the question, and while he was said to have suggested and commended the Timmerman Bill he is evidently pleased that nothing was done.

"The great question now is whether prohibition will enter politics another year. Secretary of State Tindal, who is known as a shrewd, far-seeing man, and who is, as well, a prominent member of the Alliance, expressed the opinion the other day that it would. It is stated that Mr. L. D. Childs, the father of prohibition in this State, will become a candidate for Governor in the next campaign. He wants the nomination of the reform, or "Tillman" Democrats, and wants prohibition incorporated in the platform."
