KOESTER CLAIMS OF "NOBLER" BREED, BU I' Ills ACTS INDICA E TIlE TALLER KID. The Columbia Record of last Sat urday, in about a column editorial, gives vent to some groans and grunts and in endeavoring to show how weak our defense of Governor Eller be was, it gives the public a song and - dance on matters irrelevant to the subject, and it tries to lead its read ers off, that they may not have an in telligent idea as to the nature of the defense we made of the Governor. The Record says, " 'My Dear Ap pelt' rushes to the defense of Gover nor Ellerbe. The i'ecord has no ob jection, for it would be pleased if a clean bill of health could be made out for the Chief Executive." THE TnES will always be found endeavoring to hold up the bands of any official who is performing the duties of his office honestly. When we see newspapers taking advantage of every occurrence to make political capital against an official for no other reason than some private spleen we feel it a duty to e: pose their hypocrisy, if we can. It would not teke a wise man to see that some personal matter actuates the nagging editorials against Governor Ellerbe in the Record. We do not think the public has any desire to know what th'tt personal matter is, as it has "iroubles of its own." The Record is welcome to all the glory it finds in dragging Jobhn Gary Evans into its editorial- and our sup port of him in 1890. We did sup port Mr. Evans for the United States Senate against Judge Earle and gave him-a hearty support then, and would have done so again had not a person al filend entered the race against1 him, because we did not believe there was any truth in the charges of cor raption that were made against him. Mr. Evans represented what we re -gatrded Reform principles and Judge Earle did not. This year when John L. McLaurin entered the race we gave him our support against Evans and we would have given him that support against any man in South Carolina. Mr. Evans professed to scorn the tactics of those who opposed him in 1896 and undertook to win sympathy for himself by reminding the people that he was defeated by falsehood. He ~was defeated by' un fair methods, we believe, but when he resorted to the same methods he dE stroyed wvhat good there was in his plea. He went upon the stump and slandered Col. W. A. Neal iu an out rageous manner and it was for this that we repudiated him. The editor of the Record may be a noble "dog," and we are glad to see that he, at least, is proud of being a dog that 'pulled down the stag;" that is the kind of pulling he does, is it? It is well he informed us, for wve might have mistaken him for the kind that nulls down hen nests or the kind that pulls the legs of prominent men. The editor of the Record must have borrowed a feather to tickle himself into the idea that he had any influence in the Sixth District and he displays a powerful lot of cheek or a mountain of ignorance when he at tempts to create the impression that he is a "kingmaker." But as a mat ter of fact THE MAINCG TIES sup ported Hon. J. E. Ellerbe against a half dozen other candidates and the people of Clarendon endorsed the candidate of THE TIMES by giving him 75 per cent. of the votcs and by giving Candidate Norton less than 10 per cent. Other counties did bet ter for Mr. Norton and our- caudidat~ failed to get into the second race. The iight then came between Norton and Johrnston and Claiendon gave Norton her vote. THE TIMrxs, in ac cordance with its promise, was "hands off' in the second race. For ibe in formaion of the Record we will state that our choice only fell short of a few votes of getting into the second race and these few and more were lost to him in this countyv on :account of iWO funerals which k-ept molre!!,a en Ugo Mr. Ellerbe's suppoirter's away from the pri:nary to h::ve put him into the see-end race agsiust Jonon. THE: T1Mrs supported E! lerbe an.d be received O81 votes; the Record supported Norton and he re ceived 82 votes. We think Editor Koester "had better leave such com narisns alne." Our complaint against the newspa >ers who are criticising Governor El erbe is that they are doing this to nanufacture capital against the Dis cnSary law and to further the inter sts of some favorite politician who ias his eve on the Goveruor's chair. We would not presunt to intimate hat the Ilecord initends to "create 'rejudice against the Dispensary law." HoW could we, i hen we see its a,1 erisiig columns? No, the Record wo'ld not ere:,te prejudice agast he ibis:.nnsary at present, but it does not hesitate to mlisreprosent the Gov ernor i Sutli Carolina and make use of every flimsy excuse to snear at im. We think if the Record's editor will lay aside personal disappointmentI he will not see so much to complain f, and if he will get his friends to weal candidly with him he will ns.er tain that his indiuence does not ex tend all over the State, and in the fu Lure he can wear a hat several sizes smaller than has been his custon iuce the idea struck hin that the .estiny of South Carolina rested upon is shoulders. Merchant Prince John Ryan of Atlanta Is No More. AT ONE TIME LIVED IN AUGUSTA tVent to the Gate City Neary " isty Years Ago and A ccum t ated Great Wealth. sCCUumbed to a l'ar.&'y;cat Stroke Sus taiued Over Ihree Mnt:4 'iuc-t ame From Ireland to Thir Country. ATLANTA, Nov. 22.-Mr. John Ryan, Sr., a pioneer citizen of Atlanta. and one of the richest and most widely known men in the south, died at his home in this city after a protracted ill ness caused by paralysis. Mr. Iyan wa the victim of the stroke a little over three months ago. It was thought at the time that he would recover. but he gradually grew worse until the end came. Mr. Ryan made a great success as a business man in Atlanta, and up to his retirement his name was as well known in the great commercial centers of the country as that of any man in the south. For 40 years he was engaged in the-dry goods business on Whitehall street. except for a short period during the war, and millions and millions of dollars' worth of goods passed over his counters during his long and active ca reer. Mr. Ryan was born in Dublin, Ire land, about 71 years ago, and there he spent the early days of his young man hood. In 1851 he decided to emigrate to America. and cams to Augusta dur ing that year. In 1852 he came to At lanta and began a business on the White hall road, for it hardly rose to the dig nity of a street then. He married a Miss Gray, a young iady of Augusta, who was born in Ireland, and after his marriage he built the house in which he has since resided and which was a novelty then. It was one of the first brick residences in Atlanta, and was a very conspicuous landmark- to the wild and wooly "crack ers" and the "hill billies" who drove into the little town with their produce from the outlying districts. A SHOOTING IN ATLANTA, To Men Probably F'atally Wounded by an Outraged Husband. ATLmT, Nov. 22.-W. A. Sharpton, a switchman for the Southern railroad, living in BeJlwood, surrendered himself to the police after having shot and probably fatally wounded Ralph Gibson and Henry Joyner, two white men em ployed as operatives in the Exposition cotton mill. Sharpton's wife was the cause of the bloody affair. He was jealous of Gibson and went gunning for him and in the fusilade Joyner was ac cidentally shot. Gibson has four bullets in his body and may die at any time. Joyner is not badly wounded and will in all proba bility recover, though being wounded in the face by the discharge from a shot gun, he will be horribly disfigured. Sometime ago Sharpton was a patient at the Grady hospital. having been sent there to have his head dressed after be ing hit by a negro with a rock. WVhen there he claims Gibson played the de voted to his wife and when he got out he warned him to let her alone, but Gibson did not heed the warning, al though it was repeated at the muzzle of a pistol. Sharpton and his wife moved to a dif ferent boardinghouse and Gibson fol lowed. Several days ago the husband asked the mill boss to discharge his wife, so he could get her to leave town with him. While out walking with her in Belwood they met Gibson, who com menced to upbraid Sharpton for his con duct in asking for his wife's dismissal from the mill. At this Sharpton, who said he had warned Gibson never to speak to him, drew his pistol and emptied it at Gib son. Three bullets struck him. Then he ran to his brother-in-law's store and getting a shotgun came back and fired again at Gibson, and this time Joyner,. a bystander, was also shot. Plaut la Once .3Iore President.

The City by the Sea to Don Her Gala Dress on Monday. Dec. 13. CHARLESTON, Nov. 20.-All eyes are turned towards Charleston's gala week, which begins on Monday, Dec. 13. It was intended to hold the festal week during the month of October, but the prevalence of yellow fever in the south and the requirements of the board of health that all persons entering the city should be armed with health certiilcates forced the committee to defer the fes tivities. The postponement of the gala week has given the committee additional time to perfect the arrangements, with the result that the gala week this year will be one of the most attractive and successful that has ever taken place here. A grand firemen's tournament reel contest is to be he:d. A number of reel companies from all over South Carolina and North Carolina have signified their intention of participating in the contest. A floral parade, bicycle races, fantas tic parade and trades displiy and the grand pageant of the Minions of 11.i nerva, parade of the militia, shotgun and rifle contests, and numerous other attractions have been provided. CONVICTS TO RAISE RICE. The Latest scheme of the North Carolina Penitentiary DircCtnrs. RALEIGH, Nov. 20.-The penitentiary directors desire to employ convicts at Navassa rice plantation, near Wilmning ton, provided it can be operated in con nection with the state convict camp at the phosphate mines at Castle Hayne. The penitentiary has bought the phos phate property. The Navassa company wishes to secure the entire output. It is possible that some bottom lands in Bladen county will also be used for rice culture, an option having been se cured en 1.500 acres there, but this also is conditioned upon the practicability of operating with the Castle Hayne camp as a base. A 20J-acre farm ad joining the penitentiary. belonging to the Boylan family, is leased and is now being put in cultivation. The contract with S. P. Hildebrand of Cohoes, N. Y, to furnish him con victs to make shirts in the prison is signed. He is to pay 24 cents a dozen for the labor on the shirts. COFSUMPTION POSITIVELY CURED. Mr. R. B.
