Irby and Evans Have It All to Themselves On the Hustings. Since the physical collapse of McLaurin at Yorkville, and the withdrawal of May field from the race, Messrs. Irby and Evans have been running the senatorial canvass alone. Some of the i papers have suggested that they agree to a postponement until the recovery of McLaurin; but this, as they have a perfect right to do, they have refused, and have filled the regular appointments at Lancaster, Camden, Kershaw, Bennettsville and Darlington since the meeting at Yorkville. AT LANCASTER. The crowd at Lancaster, on last Friday, was estimated by the reporter aj about 600. It was orderly and well behaved. Irby, during the course of his remarks, said that McLaurin was not in the race; that the race was between himself and Evans, and that be would beat Evans. During his speech, Evans referred to Irby's "indisposition" at Yorkville, and said that the senator was now able to speak only with the help of stimulants. Irby protested that the only stimulant he had used was a little paragoric. Somebody asked Evaus about the bond deal and Evans told the man to attend to bis own business. CAMDEN AND CHESTERFIELD. The speeches at Camden were in about the usual line with no new developments of especial interest. The crowd was large and well behaved. The Chesterfield meeting was also devoid of especial incident. BENNETTSVILLE. The meeting on Wednesday was held at Bennettsville, the borne of Senator McLaurin. The senator was still confined to his bed unable to be present. He was remembered, however, by a number of handsome boquets which were sent to the stand. The crowd is said to have numbered about 800 people. They listened quietly, and when the speaking was over quietly left. Governor Evans expressed regrets at the illness of Senator McLaurin, and said that he would only strike the senator in regard to his public utterances. He did not think his mouth should be stopped, hoxvever, especially in view of the fact that the sick senator was having circulated copies of a Yorkville paper containing a supposed speech. He then proceed' ed to read from McLaurin's published speeches, and to give his views in regard to certain utterances. At the conclusion of his remarks he was ap piauaea. Colonel Irby was introduced as the "unconquerable leader of Reform in 1890 and in 1892," and was received with applause. He said that he was as much a Reformer now as he was then. Referring to McLaurin, he said : "I am not the man to strike a fallen foe. I would rather be defeated 10,000 times than to know that I bad been elected by striking the sick." Then he went on to say that if McLaurin was not able to continue the fight, he should withdraw or seud Ellerbe. Colonel Irby got after Mr. Evans for having said, at Camden, that Tillman bad said to him that he would welcome him with open arms, and Evans explained that Tillman had only said that he would welcome him in the event of his election, etc. AT DARLINGTON. On Thursday, the campaigners were at Darlington. There was a steady rain during the morning; but there were some 400 people in the courthouse and they listened attentively to the candidates. Colonel Irby was the first speaker. He said the story to the effect that he was running in the interest of Evans was an iufamous lie, and wanted to know whether anybody thought he was such a miserable cur as to prostitute his mauhood in any such manner, when Evaus had forced him to retire from the race last year. He said that he did not crawl on his belly to ask the forgiveness of Evans. He then went on to review the history of the Reform movement, and told how Evans, at the outset, had said that the movement would prove a fiasco ; but how "after awhile the political cloud kept gettin' bigger and bigger. The houses began to shake trv onon TKto /Intrc r?n IUC W --to barkin' under the houses, aud it got so dark the chickens went to roost. Evans saw then that Tillman was going to be elected. I was down in that section pretty soon afterwards. Evans saw me aud grabbed my hand and said, 'Irby, I'm with you. Tillmau's going to be elected, and I'm with you in this fight.' I took him in aud made a man of him. I made him governor and kept Tillman from hurting him. But last year he forgot his political daddy. He slipped up on me while I was asleep * and struck me, 'and the blow almost killed father.' " In conclusion, Colonel Irby asked the suffrages of the people as a Demo* crat, "Not that I am a Reformer, for I am as good a one as ever wore hair; but I am a Democrat. [Applause.] Evans was next introduced. Herecounted that certain newspapers had dared him to make this race. He had accepted and not one of the lies and charges against him of last year had been repeated. Colonel Irby in saying that he (Evans) feared to make this race, did himself an injustice. Was he afraid last year when he expected to have Irby for an opponent? Then why should Irby say he feared to make the race when he again had him for an opponent. He believed Irby spoke without reflection, for Irby was as brave a man as ever_ lived. The Reformers did not vote for him (Evans) last year under the lash of Tillman. Irby?Didn't he try to drive them to support you? Evans?No, he did not. He said be would support me because I represented the principles for which the Reform fight was made. Mr. Evans then entered on a defense of the suffrage clause. Why, if Irby was so opposed to it, did he not offer a better plan ? Irby interrupted and said he did in committee. Mr. Evans replied that the committee rejected it because it was not feasible. Was the convention then to adjourn because a suffrage clause could not be prepared? Was the convention to admit that it could not do the work it had been elected to perform ? If any white man was disqualified he bad no one to blame but himself. The Negro was eliminated from politics and the suffrage clause was satisfactory to the people. Taking up the issues involved in this race, Mr. Evans said this was the most important campaign since 1832, made so by the issues involved. The newpapers tried to make the speeches appear ridiculous by publishing only the jokes and leaving out the real discussion ; but he hoped no one would be fooled by this. McLaurin's public niara nnhlin npftnort.V nnri UllCI aiiUCO VVCIV |/uwuv |/i v|/v? vj v.m ? as such be was going to criticise them. He then took up the cotton, sugar, wool and bide schedules. He pointed out what be considered the fallacies of McLaurin's position on free raw materials meant that manufacturers could make goods cheaper and the farmers could therefore buy them cheaper. A coat, for instance, which costs $1 in Europe would cost $4 under the Dingley bill. Yet that was the kind of protection to the wool grower that McLaurin wanted to give. Mr. Evans referred to an editorial in The News and Courier condemning McLaurin's anti-raw material ideas a'nd declared that no honest paper would support him after condemning him as The New and Courier was now doing. It was nothing but a display of animosity and an attempt to revive factional issues on the part of The * ^ L. J..I J JNews ana courier, iie uevmicu. Mr. Evans repeated bis direct tax views and concluded after an exhaustive speech of more than an hour. He was applauded. The next meeting will be at Marion today. MERE-MENTION. Ex-Secretary Carlisle is advising the putting up of an independent gold ticket wherever elections are held next year. President Faure, of France, is visiting the Czar of Russia. He left Paris last Wednesday, and great excitement was occasioned by the explosion of a bomb along his route soon after his departure. The Sultan of Turkey denies that he has had anything to do with the rebellion that the Ameer of Afghanistan is fomenting in India. It has been definitely ascertained that five fillibustering expeditions have escaped from the coast of the United States to Cuba during the past few weeks. W. B. L. Davis, a wealthy Georgia farmer, was killed last week by an explosion of dynamite that he had placed under his kitchen stove to dry. The courts of the Pittsburg, Pa., coal mining districts have prohibited striking miners from camping or marching in the vicinity of the property of the coal corncompanies. SOUTH CAROLINA NEWS.

Van Wyck correspondence of The Ledger : Some of our people went to Lancaster last Friday to hear the senatorial candidates. All that I have heard express themselves, were much disappointed in not heariug McLaurin. The speeches of Irby and " * ? ? * m Kair Hivans cave uui tuaugw i^ui?iuvj are still for McLaurin, who has been the favorite all the while in this part of the county. The Metropolitan Police Matter. Columbia Register, Wednesday: Chief Constable Babr was in the city yesterday. In reference to tbe report that he was trying to get the six aldermen in Charleston who refused to sign the agreement to enforce the dispensary law, if metropolitan police was removed, he said that he was circulating such a petition and had gotten several of the aldermen to sign it. He expected to get them all before he finished. He said he was doing this on his own responsibility and that Governor Ellerbe had nothing to do with it. In other words, he positively asserts that his action in the matter is suggested from Columbia. Snuirt Trick of CoiiHtableg. There was a general stir among the "blind tigers," at Greenwood, on last Saturday afternoon, says a special to the Columbia Register, and, as the result, some of the tigers have had their eyes open wide. Newell brothers and Price, state constables, caught the "boys" this time in a clever manner. Some ten days ago they came to town with trowels, plumb-lines, etc., pur porting to be bricklayers, and expecting, so tbey said, to begin work on the new courthouse as soou as they could get employment. One of them went so far as to go to the Grenday Cotton mills aud lay brick all day. Naturally they became ''acquainted" around town, and when tbey grew a little thirsty they were introduced to the gentlemen who could satisfy their wants. All went aloug smoothly until Saturday afternoon, wheu all three appeared in a different garb, and wearing badges with the inscription, "State Constables." Then it was that the fuu began. With Policeman Riley and McMillau, every place in town where there was the slighest suspicion of liquor-selling was visited. About forty or fifty gallons of mountain juice changed hands, and some teu or twelve citizens, some white and others colored, had to go before Judge Austin, and ask to be admitted to bail for their appearuuce Monday morning. It was a regular Fitzsimmous blow to the business here, and will stop the liquor men from so freely supplying the town with their stuff, for a time at least. AT THE CHURCHES. baptist.

Deaftiess Cannot be Cured by local applications, as they cannot reach the diseased portion of the ear. There is only one way to cure deafness, and that is by constitutional remedies. Deafness is caused by an inflamed condition of the mucous lining of the Eustachian Tube. When this tube gets inllamed you have a rumbling sound or imperfect hearing, and when it is entirely closed deafness is the result, and unless the inflammation can be taken out and this tube restored to its normal condition, hearing will be destroyed forever; nine cases out of ten are caused by catarrh, which is nothing out an innamea conuiuou ui iue muwus surfaces.
