The pink spring beauty greets us first, ] Fed by the me'ting snow. And ground nut blossoms show the place * Of hidden stores below. The pure wake-robin on the bill i*reeis me nrs; uuu again, The starry blood root in the dell Stili leaves its crimson stain, Jack-in the-pulpit preaches yet , To little woodland folk, And liverworts and violets grow At the feet of the hollow oak. The dainty waxen Indian pipe Ber jath the beafl'n tree springs, And the golden bell of the adder tongue Still lightly sways and swiDgs. It tolls the knell?that fairy bell? Of childhood's hopes and fears And ushers in the toil and sin Of later, sadder years, And so I kept the faded dowers My old time playmate gave, With grasses sweet that grow above A ionely western grave. SONG OF THE SHIRT? R v. Dr. Taluxsge'a Eloquent Sennon ? n Woman's Woik. Brooklyn, June 3--Rev. T. De Witt Talmage, who is now on his round the world journey, has chosen as the subject for today "Martyrs cf the Neecl?," the text being Matthew xix, 24, "It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle." Whether this "eye of the needle" be the small gate at the side of the big outran c 3 of the wail of the ancient city, as is generally interpr, ted, or the eye cf a needle such as is now handled in sewing a garment I do not say. In eiiher case it would be a tight thing for a camel to go through the eye of a needle. But there are wholecaravar s of fatigues and hardships goiDg through the eye cf the sewing woman's needle. Very loDg ago the needle was busy. It was considered honorable for women to toil in olden time. Alexander the Great stood in his palace showing gar"? *- -- v.. u merits maae oy nis owa ujuiuci. mc finest tapestries at Buy eux were made by the queen of William the Conqueror. Augustus, the emperor, would not wear any garment except those that were fashioned by acme member of his royal family. So let the toiler everywhere be respected! The greatest blessing that could have happened to cur first parents was being turned out of Eden alter they had done wrong. Adam ana Eve, in their perfect state, might have got along witheht wort, or only such slight employment as a perfect garden, with no weeds in it, demanded. But a3 soon as they had shinned the best thing for them was to be turned sat where they would have to work We know what a withering thing it is for a man to have nothing to do. Good old Ashoel Green, at fourscore years, when asked why he kept on working, said, "I do so to keep out of mischief." We see that a man who has a largs amount of money to start with ba3 no chance. Of the thousand prosperous and honorable men that yen know, 999 had to woik vigorously at the biginning.

Arabella Stuart nev- 3 er was imprisoned in so dark a dungeon < a3 that. f There is no happiness in an idle wo- i man. It may be with hand, it may be with i brain, it may be with foot, but work she i must or be wretched forever. The little j girls of our families must be started with that idea. The curse cf cur American i society is that cur young women are I *? taught that the first, second, third, lourth 1 fifth, sixth, seventh, tenth, fiftieth, i thousandth thing in their life is to get 1 somebody to take care of them. Instead 1 of that, the first lesson should be how h under God, they may take care of themselves. The simple fact is that a majority of them do have to take care oi themselves, and that, too, after having, through the false notions of their parents, wasted the years in which they ought to have learned how successfully to maintain themselves. We now and here declare the inhumanity, cruelty and outrage of that father and mother who pass their daughters into womanhood, tiaviDg given them no facility for earning their livelihood. Mme". de Stael said, "It is not these writmgs that I am proud of, but the fact that I have faculty in 10 occupations, in any one of whicn I could mak a livelihood." You say you have a fortune to leave them. 0 man and woman, have you not learned that, like vultures, like hawks, like eagles, riches have wings and flyaway? Though yoa should be successful in leaving a competency behind you, the trickery of executors may swamp it in a night, or some elders or deacons of our churches may get up a fictitious company and induce ycur orphans to put their money into it and if it be lost prove to them that it was eternally decreed that that wa3 the way tbey were to lose it, and that it went in the most orthodox and heavenly style.

A vast major- 1 ity cf those who would have woman in- 1 du?triou3 shut her up to a few kinds of { work. My judgment in tlris matter is that a woman has a right to do any- t thing she can do well. There should v be no department of merchandise, me- s chanism, art or science barred against z her. If Miss Hosmer has geniuf for j sculpture, give her a chisel. If Rosa Bonheur has a fondness for delineating r animals, let her make "The Horse r Fair." It Miss Mitchell will study as- ? trononiy let her mount the starry lad- 1 der. IfLvdia will be a merchant let J her sell purple. If Lucrecla Mott will J preach the gospel let her thrill with her 1 womanly eloquence the Quaker meeting * house. e It is said it woman is given such op- f portunities she will occupy such places ) that might be taken by men.

Bat it is said that her nature is so delicate that she is unfitted for exhausting ? toil. I ask in the name of all past his- ? tory what toil on earth is more severe, ^ exhausting and tremendous than that e of the needle, to which for ages she has been subjected? The battering ram, the sword, the carbine, the battleax, . have made no such havoc as the needle. v I wc uld that these living sepulcher3 in ? which women have for age3 been buried c might bs opsned, and thai seme resur- t rection trumpet might bring up these o living corpses to the fresh air and sua- z light. I Go with me, and I will sho w ycu a woman who, by hardest toil," sup* J ports her children, her drunken husband i, aef old father and mother, pays her t' iicuse rent, always has wholesome food n on the table, and when she can get tl some neighbor on the Sabbath to come n and take care of her family appears a n church with hat and cloak that are tl :ar from indicating the toil to which she tl s subjected. J Such a woman as that has body and "" jou! enough to lit her for any position, & She could stand beside the majority of 0 ^our salesmen and dispose of more | >oods. She could go into your wheel- 1 svright shops and beat one half of your workmen at making carnages. We talk % ibout woman as though we bad resinned ? .o her all the light work, and ourselves .J lad shouldered the heavier. But the day y if judgment, which will reveal the suf- f, erings of the stake and inquisition, will ^ narshai before the throne of God and o .be hierarcb ; of heaven the martyrs cf v, vacMub and needle. 'C iiow, I say, it there be any preference, a n occupation, let iromaa have it. God e mows her trials are the severest. By SJ leracuter sensitiveness to misfortune, ^ iy h*r hcur cf anguish, I demand that 10 oce hedge up her pathway to a livell- tl locd. Oh, the meanness, the despica- cl iility ot men who begrudge a woman the f* ight to work anywhere in any honorable ? : ailing! *( I go still further and say that women ihohld have tquai compensation with g! nen. By what principle of justice is it hat women in many of our cities get ^ inly two thirds as much pay a3 meD, and b n maDy cases only half?

Wholesale Removal. Washington, June 8.?Xotonly ofce holders, but boardinghouse keepers nd businessmen are becoming stirred p over the recent and still contining dismissals in the different departlents. About one tenth of the populaion of the cify is employed by the overnmeDt. That one-tenth represents t least 50,000 people, whose happiness 2 a large majority of cases depends pon the regular receipt of the envelpesattheend of the month. When ne-fifth of the population is thu3 inimately interested in office holding, it 5 easy to imagine the widely divergent fleets of such sweeping charges as ave taken place in the past month, let ween 700 and 800 have been dis hargea trom tne government printing dice, and though Public Printer iieneict has said that no more wholesais ismissals will be made, it is kelj the end is not jet in tie bee hive on North Capitol treet. In the war department, since Lpril, nearly 350 clerks have been re loved, and others are expected to go 1 the near future. These will be in ompany with about 300 of the census ureau employes and these of other epartments when the Dockery bill comes a law. It may, therefore, ba ifely estimated that at least 2,000 perms will have to look for ocher empipylent before the winter comes. Among lose dismissed, particularly in the rar department, are men who have ved a generation in Washington, and ave come to regard it as their home, ome may have managed to buy comirtable homes, and the Ics3 of their 'guiar monthly stipend causes them > wonder how they may now continue ) occupy them. Others have been so >ng at one desk that by reason of their ?e they are absolutely unlitted to enage inother occupations even were lere any opening for them.

A Shocking Tragedy. Bennettsville, June G.?Our usual} quiet and orderly town has been shocked by a tragedy unparalleled in sadness. Last night about 9:30 o'clock a horseman, with lightning speed, rushed up town to notify phvsicians ard relatives that Mr. J. I)ongla3 Moore had been shot down with, a double barreled shotgun at the residence of Mr. Henry T. Breeden by Mr. Breeden himself. They are both resirWif s nf fhis town and are brothers-in la*', Mr Bretden having married Mr. Moore's sister. They are young men, representatives of the very best and most pjominent families in Marlboro county, and had been fast friend3. Your correspondent immediately secured a buggy and drove to the place of the sad affair. J found three physicians and about one dozen citizens present. Mr. Moore was stretched on a mattress on the floor of one of the pcrchfs near where he was shot and fell. Your correspondent obtained the following facts: Both men were under the inlluenae of liquor, they drank together in Breeden's house; hot words passed in reference to family matters. Breeden got his gun, but Moore induced hind to put it up; they then drank together. Moore started home, and was on the porch near the steps when shot. The load entered just below the navel. The wound bled profusely, and the unfortunate man suffered much pain. Moore told your correspondent that he was leaving for home and was shot without provocation. Mrs. Adams proprietress of the Adams House, is the mother of Mr. Moore, and she, with her daughter, Miss Moore, were sent for. When they arrived i witnessed the most touching and heartrending scene of my life. Early this morning the wounded man was removed to his mother's. His two uncles and cousin arrived from the country. His ante mortem statement was taken by Trial Justice Easterling. The contents of the statement have not been made public. Dr. C. Kollock of Cheraw, assisted by local physicians, by investigation discovered that the bladder had been shot to pieces, and they at once pronounced his case hope less, lie can live Dutaiewnours. iYLoore stated that he entertained no ill will toward Breedeu and that he freely forgave him. Whiskey caused the trouble. Xo arrests have been made this evening.?State. Two Lynchln&s Yorkville, S. C., June 2.?Jed Crawford, colored, was lynched this morning at 1:30 o'clock. At that hour, a crowd called at the county jail and waked up the Sheriff, telling him they had a prisoner. He had heard that there W38 talk ot lynching Crawford, and he refused to open the jail. The crowd broke into the jail. Crawford was found in the duogeon and taken near the Chester and Lenior depot. Fifteen minutes were given him in which to make hi3 peace with God, He confessed to having murdered Mr. D. A. Blackburn. He was swung up and a few bullets fired through his body . Mr. D. A. Blackburn wa3 found dead last autumn near Rock Hill. His bodv was horribly mutilated. Jeff Crawford was suspected ct having commuted trie crime. He was arrested, tried, convicted and sentenced to be hung on June 1. In application tor a new irilal wa3 made, and was granted by Judge Watts. The people would wait no longer for Crawford's life to pay for his crime. Judge Lynch w&3 appealed to and gave a speedy sentence.?Register. one at lancaster. Lancaster, June 3 ?Hardy Gill, a young negro, about thirty years old, was taken from the jail this morning between 1 and 2 o'clock, by a crowd of men and shot to death, about three miles from town. Gill was in jail for cruelly beating Mrs. James A. Clark, of Cedar Creek Township, on Monday last. Gill went to Mr. Clark's promises in his ab 3ence and commenced raising a disturbance in the yard. Upon being ordered away by Mrs. Clark, he turned on her with an andiron and beat her unmercifully. He then picked up Mrs. Clark's baby and threw it across the house. Mrs. Clark's injuries are such that she is not expected to live. The little child's injuries are also of a serious nature. The negro was immediately arrested and lodged in jail. Yesterday he was adjudged insane before Trial Justice Burns.?State. More Men lhan Women. The United States census bureau has issued a special bulletin containing marriage statistics. It has been as carefully compiled as the nature of the case would admit. Its conclusions upset several ppints of popular belief. One of these is that there are more women than men in the country. The cold figures show that this is not true of the country at large, even if it be so of Massachusetts. - But Massachusetts is not the country, through Boston may think the country revolves around her as a pivot. The fact is that we have 1,422,410 more males than females in the United States, so that every woman could have a husband if she wanted one and have a fraction of a man to spare besides, so far as the mere supply of men goes. This ought to comfort those maidens who still have hope that their affinities may be found, thought it holds out small consolation to baehelors. Statistics of widowhood and widowerhood show a difference on the otner side. Widows are for some reason far more constant to the memonry of the dear departed than widowers. For every widower who remains in the single state there are three widows. And yet,with the ma jority of widowers remarrying, there are still nearly a million and a half husbands left over for the ladles who want them. Perhaps they are not distributed is. the right districts. Crime ol Universal Suffrage. London, June 2.?The Economist, commenting on the campaign oi Ida Wells against the lynching of negroes in the Southern States of America, says: "The equality ot the races does not exist. The whites who granted the suffrage to the negro were guilty of a grave offence against republicanism as a system assuring the moral and intellectual competence of a citizen. There is nothing to be done except to tolerate the negro as a subordinate citizen until he becomes civilized, which he may never be. We do not ask good Americans to interfere in behalf of the negro, but we do ask our own countrymen, who cannot be good repubh cans in the midst of lynch law." The Spectator says: "The action of the North after the war made the condition ot the negro infinitely worse than if tbey had adopted a wiser and more unselfish policy. It is a terrible example of mischief due to vindictive and short sighted partisanship. It wa3 impossible to maintain a system under which a despised and ignorant race was cncoraged to play the despot over a race of higher political intelligence." Don Dickson said in an interview the other day that he believed in Grover Cleveland more than ever. "There was a time," said he, "when they mimed Andrew Jackson in elligF all over this country, and yet two years after that, so popular had Jackson become, vou couldn't Had a man who had said a word against him. That is the way it will be with President Cleveland. He is an able, fearless man; a man with the courage to do what he believes to be right. And he is doing more for bimetallism than any other man living today. lie is a believer in silver. The only question is as to the best way in which to do it. They will J come to his idea of it yet. England is already receding from her situation and the day will come when you will see silver restored to the world; and Grover Cleveland is doing more to that end, as I said than any other man or force in the world today. " GOV. TILLMAN ON TEMPERANCE. He A?td!e?a?8 au Aadieneo of Two Thousar.d People. Prohibition Park. Staten Island, June 4.?Governor Tiilman, of Sou h Carolina, presented his State agency plan for the solution of the liquor question to an audience oi two thousand Prohibitionists at this evening's session of the international Temperance Congress. The Governor's hearers did not agree with him as to the plan, but they listeaed closely to the cod. and found some points at which they could applaid without doing violence to their conscience At other times they loudly expressed their disapproval. Before the arrival of Governor Tillman Col. Alexanders. Bacon, of Brooklyn, made au appeal for the raisins: of $2,500. At this point the ekctr.c hght3 went out and the auditorium w?.3 in darkness. A score of lanterns were brought In and the guest from South Car olina was led forward iu -cmi-darkness. He was introduced by the Kiv Lr II. L. Wayland, ot P liladelphia. Governor Tiilmm began by saving that he wished there wa3 more light so he could look the people :u the eye and have them lock him m the eye and tell whether he was telling the truth. Continuing he said: "I have come a long way and left my cilicial duties m the interest of truth and right. I have heard a great deal at the session I base attended of 'sana' and 'backbone.' It has been said that I possess those qualities. I will say that I will show here to night that I am willing to advance my convictions on my audience, and I am going to controvert you: dearest ideas and firmest beliefs. I am probably the only politician present. I have been elected Governor of a State, and I am a candidale for the United States Senate, and expect to be elected." The Governor then went on to say iViot Vio iron n/\t o nrvlifipion in UViU'w U\s ?T ao UVU CAUVWJ fc? I'Uii OiViU u *u the ordinary acceptance ot the term, lie said he always spoke his convictions and that was not characteristic of politicians. lie said that he was a farmer; that his Gubernatorial position was his first cfilce. He announced that he proposed to have his say and if anyone in the audience wanted to throw rocks at him he would throw recks back. Then drawing himself to his full height he said, in tones that made the rafters ring: "I am here to night to tell ycu that prohibition don't prohibit, and never will prohibit. We have got a , plan m South Carolina that completely wipes out saloons, and we have done more than you have. Now, I am a temperance man. [Applause.] I never drank five gallons of whiskey ail together in my life. [Laughter.] I sometimes take a social glass with my friends, but I don't like the stuff." The Governor then produced a bottle of whiskey with the South Carolina Iable on in. He waved it like a firebrand in the faces of the total abstainers and described the State dispensary plan. He said that prior to the decision by the Supreme Court of the State there were sixty-six dispensaries in operation, and the State had paid cut $379,000 for liquor, $57,000 for bottles and $37,000 for labels and other expenses. From the total outlay of $475,000 aud with $98 000 worth of liquor cn hand, $567,000, worth had been sold and a net profit of $100,000 to the State and $84,000 to the counties had been realized. He said that the quality of the whiskey was chemically pure, so that the people quit having a headache when they got drunk on it. He said a moment later than no one got druak on dispensary whiskey; they got drunk on blind tiger whiskey, which, he said, they hid in holes in the ground or "toted" ia their boot legs. He stirred up the audience by declariDg that prohibition would never be established by yotcs. "Give us a chance," said a man in front. This brought a volley of applause, when the Governorshcuted. "You are not read/to remove ttie Government tax on whiskey." "Yes we are," came from all parts, of the hall. "Then you are blinder than I tbcught you were," said the Governor. A moment later he alluded to "prohibition narrow-mindedness" and complained that the audience would only go half way with him. Then he said: "Before you are a dczm yea's older you will see half the States in the Union following the example of South Carolina," "Never," shcuted a woman delegate. "If ycu can't get prohibition, will you take the dispensary?" asked the goveruor.They vne a litdifd cccs.snd one man in the back of the hall said yes. "That is encouraging," said the Governor. He said that in ail the country of South Carolina and nearly all the towns public sentiment is in favor of the dispensary law, and it will be car ntu out eventually, i.x? wcui uu. uu far as backbone is concerned I have as much as any other man, but when you tackle the liquor trade entrenched behind its hundreds of millions you need to have the backbone of the statue of Licerity." The Governor left for the South after the meeting adjourned, at 4 15 P. M A Tboaaand Killed. New York, June 1.?A special from Han-Kow says that 1,000 persons at least have lost their lives in a catastrophe peculiar to this singular section; Heavy rains, caused apparently by a waterspout or "cloudburst" fell early last week on the upper IIan,suddenlv flooding the lowlands to the depth of several feet. Two great rafts moored to the bank were torn away by the maddened waters ana hurried down stream, smashing everything in their way for over 200 miles, leaviDg death and ruin in thei* wake. They reached the mouth of the Ilan, where it empties into the Yangtse King, at this place, Friday night. Like two huge catapults they crashed into the junks and swept them into the Yaug-tse-Kiang, where a whirlpool was formed and the hapless crafts with their crews were sucked I beneath the furious waters. Six small Chinese gunooars were suns wane trying to rescue the hundreds of persons thus placed in jeopardy. Life saving boats also did what they could but the current was so rapid that all efforts proved of little value. The vast, impetuous volume of water that rushed out of the Han did much damage on the opposite shore of the Yang-tse-Kiaog, over a mile distant, and to the bund in front of the iron works. Many frail houses on the bank were carried away, occupants and all, the water coming down like a tidal wave, almost without wamiDg. Over 400 bodies have been found floating m the Yacg-tse-Kiang below this ptace, and others are found daily. The Ilan drains an immense area and its surface is covered with junks and small craft. The only wonder is that the destruction was not greater, the pecuniary loss being conlined to the destruction of junks and boats and the lloodiDg of rice fields, of which no estimate can be obtained. To Start at R >ck Hill. Columbia, Jane 9.?The campaign will really start at Hock Hill and the fun will begin on Monday. June 18th. The Yorkvills meeting will be held cn the 19;n according to schedule, but a meeting has been agreed upon for Rock llill on the date named. Tnis meeting was arranged by Senator Finley, of York, and it is understood that both Governor Tillman and Senator Butler ' have accepted invitations to be present. ! Candidates for Congress from that dis- , trict wili also be invited and are ex- 1 pected to speak, besides the Guberna-11 torial candidates and the seekers for J1 State otlices. i The Need of the Country. Senator Patrick Walsh, of Georgia, made one day last week one of the best a speeches ot' the session in favor of tariff h reform. lie repudiated the charge h made by Senator Iloar, of Massachu- n setts, that the South is in any sense hos- d tile to the industries of New England, b atid claimed that the South is destined n to be the great manufacturing centre p of this country. He declared that the o Democrats of the South favor the in- ti come tax, not as a sectional measure, tJ but because it is just and equitable, y The revenue tariff plank in the Chicago ? platform is solidly endorsed in the n South, but our people [recogniz9 the S fact that the i;emocrauc parry is National and not sectional, and'itis e absurd to suppose that they have any f; desire to discriminate against any c American industry or lower the wage's ii of the mechanic or laborers. We have 1 seen under the McKinley bill millions v of dollars vverth of our products shut \ out from foreign markets because we would not allow other countries to compete with us for'the custom of our home markets. The jolicy of the ? Democratic party has not been free " trade but tariff reduction. It has de n clared not only for lower taxation but u for non-interfernce with the capital !| and labor engaged in the manufactur- " ing interests ot the country. The over - s: whelming election of Mr. Cleveland on y a revenue tariff platform leaves no * doubt as to the wishes ot the people. t: Under the McKinley tariff we have had more failures, suspensions, en- * forced idleness ana general distress than ba3 ever been known within the J pasi two generations, In three years it \ has caused an increase of 18 per cent. { in the number of failures and 44 per f3 cent, in the liabilities. The prices of *' farm products have declined lower 1 than at any time within fifty years. 11 The demonetization of silver was a largely responsible for this shrinkage, but it will be seen that the claims of the protectionists are not sustained by the facts. The Wilson bill may not be a t complete remedy but it is a reform and 0 on the right line. In regard to the in- v come tax Senator Walsh made a strong r point when he called attention to the t fact that the British masses never com- t plain of the tax, because it falls on ^ these who are able to pay it, whereas, v under our system we collected last year over 00 per cent of our tariff duties out of the necessaries of life while the ' luxuries paid only 37 per cent. Uader J lue preaeuL law lue pjui man paja ao much and sometimes more than the millionaire for the support of the Gov- , ernment because the tax is laid on consumption. This is inequitable. The senator urges the Democrats in Congress to redeem the free silver and < State Banks planks of their platform. ( He contends that it is safe for this < country to adopt free coinage, with or ' without international agreement, and that our population, wealth and re sources will enable U3 to sus.ainiton ] a parity with gold, and 'compel recog- i nition for it from the enlightened governments of Europe. His view of the State bank tax is a sound one. He argues that it is an unconstitutional war measure, prohibitory tax, and that it should b6 repealed, because it has served its purpose and because the States have just as much right to control their own local banks as tbey have to exercise any other right uader the Constitution The tax should be unconditionally repealed. The speech is j a clear presentation of the facts of the ? situation and an unanswerable argil- ' ment for the redemption of.the Democratic pledges of the remonetlzation of silver, State banks and a revenue tariff. Until these pledges are redeemed the senator frankly aay3 that he sees little prospect of the improvement of trade, the revival of industry and better prices for farm products.

Woman Asaasilaatedt Greenville, Jane 8.?News has i jast been received here of aaother crime 1 in the ''Dark Corner." On Thursday , morning about 11 o'clock, while all the t male members of her family were in t the fields working, Mrs. Plumley was shot and will probably die. She is the wife of William Plarnley, owner of considerable property and of a promi nent family. Mrs. Plumley saw some i one on the hill above her house and his i movements excited her suspicion. She went into the yard and saw a man en- , ter her house. He ran toward the | house and left, taking a trunk contain- ? ing 6600. As she reached the door, a i gun was fired and she was struck by a B bullet which went in her side, coming * cut on the other. The news spread j rapidly. A posse was formed and the assassin was tracked bv the mountain- eers five miles around Hogback MountolD, across the headwaters of the Saluda, the trail ending a few yards from the house of Van Durwell. Mr. Plumlev says the Dur wells were the only people who knew ne had money in the house: The mouutaineers say that if Mrs. Piumley dies, the man who fired the shot will never get out of the mountains alive. The shooting took ^ place about thirty miles above Greenvi)la, in the edge of the "Dark Corner." a?a a UiO lOAUWlU *-? VM VU| New York, June 9.?Y peculiar case of suicide is given out by the authorities of the prison at Chester. 111., in the death of Jame3 Murray, a convict sentenced from Marion county,111., for laceny. Murray resorted to all kinds of methods to avoid working. Shortly after he came to the prison he feigned illness and was seDt to the hospital. So well did he act his part of a hospital patient that for several days I he lay apparently in great agony, refusing to eat, and took with eagerness all the bitter prescriptions prescribed for him by the physicians. His trick w2s (inallv discovered and it failed to work on several occasions afterward. Being determined not to work and knowing no way out of it but real sick- 1 ness. Murray attempted several methods of carrying out his purpose. About two week3 ago he ate a large quantity of soap. It was the most successful Z plan he had hit upon, and he lay in the li the hospital for more than a week really suffering. Last Saturday Murray was released from the hospital, and on Monday he again succeeded in securing a large bar of lye soap. This he ate and was at once taken with violent spasms. He died a horrible death. says Ir Is a Lie. Columbia, S. C., June 10.?Governor Tillman was in hi3 office at the State House yesterday, having returned from the North yesterday morning- The Governor was in a good humor except over the story which was sent out by the Associated Tress about his speech before the Trohibition Convention in Xew York. lie denounced the entire report as false and said that he could prove it by any officer of the convention. He said that h9 had the Convention with him by a majority of at least three to one and believes that the majority was nearer ten to one. He said that the New York Times was the only paper which came near giving him justice. That paper headed its account of his speech "Tillman Wins the Day. Prohibitionists Vote for the South Carolina L'quor Law." The Governor was warm under the collar when talking about the way he had been treated by the Associated Press and requested the representative of the Association here to ask that an investigation be made into the story sent out.?Uegister.
