The Williamsburg Mooting. Tho meeting today, after - that of yostordayv was liko a calm aft or n storm. Tho two speakers oxhaustod their supply of invectives at George town, but ha^l'fin hand a few jjow ones for today's meeting. Thoy wovo lis tened to 1>3' about *200 men, who were quite undemonstrative. Both speakers wero mildly applauded when they con cluded. Col. J. Ii. M. Irby began: "This campaign is unparalloled in tho history of tho Stato for taking un (lerhaudod advantago and for dirty tricks of dirty henchmen. I cannot speak of Mr. MoL-aurin's record while he is on a bed of sickness, for fear of doing him an injustieo, but 1 can speak of tho infamous light that is boing made against me. " ... Col. . Irby hero vohornontly denied - tho roport that, ho va? running as a . "loose horso" to olect JCvaus. "They have established a lyintr bu re?^ over there in Columbia, 'l'hoy juo seiVding oii'oulars nil over tlio^ State *uud they aro flying, about as thick as enowflakes. And to add to the infamy of the act, tho circulars aro not signod -by anyone. They are anonymous, and there is no ouowhom lean hold rospou sible. In addition to being lies, the circulars aro writton by a pack of cow ards. The men at tho head of that bu reau in Columbia are liars and cowards. Horo's ono of tho littlo darlings. " And Col. Irby took from his pocket a circu lar containing remarks' ho and Governor Evans worn said to lmvo mado about ? each other Ipst year, v After reading it, Col. Irby tdVo it up aud denied that he ,e vol' said any of tho things attributed to him. ' . He then wont over much of hisspoech of yesterday concerning tho Murphy load, but failed to bring out anything new. His rocord as a Democrat and his op position to bolts wero ropoated. IIo told how lie mado ISvans Governor and muz zled Tillman to carry out tho scheme, liill Meal, over hero in Columbia, came on to Washington with Tillman to hoi muzzlo him. Bill Ncal, who hasn't ten cents worth of sense, was trying to dab bio in politics then, as ho is now.* Col. Irby (joncluded by warning the voters of the dangers of tho suffrage clause. Mr. 3ohn Gary Evans opened hit speech with somo pleasantries about Col. Irby being bin political daddy, and then passed on to a defense of tho suf frage clause. I "But," said ho, "I do join him in ono thing, and that is tho way this campaign is being run. Follow citi- ' Kens, you know tho low campaign that was waged against mo last sum mer.' But the newspapers havo held up in their abuse this year, and in stead havo put two guttorsnipo3 in charge of a bureau in Columbia. And ? i Kavrhoro that unloss Mr. McLanrin openly and publicly denounces thie v bureau I will liohl him personally re _ sponsible. JrbyJias. shown you ono ol 'these circulars, and this morning I got ono giving uiy supposed rocord and putting .words in my mputh that J^nevei said.'' >>>.; "All the papers of the State are sup porting Mr. MeLaurin, but, not satis fied with that, somo of liis friends have resorted to this guttorsnipa practice ol sending out circulars to slab Irby and myself in tho back. " After this denunciation of the bureau, Mr. Evans took up tho tariff, and said all farmers should be freo traders, fox tho roason Hint they sold their products in freo t ratio markets but could only buy their goods in protection markets, Farmers should also favor free raw, materials Sbecauso tho manufacture could /hakoHiinvaroodfj cheaper and the farm or s couV.*.li thoioforo buj' tnon) - ohcn|Wjr. ( / Mr. Evans concluded with his argu ment on tho tariff. Ho was applauded^ The Meeting at Manning. With tho exception of a declaration bv Colonol Irbv that Ito cheated in tht March convention of 18U0 to securo the nomination of Tillman, the candidates inado their usual speeches, without va j ml ions. Tho crowd numbered 000. Mr.'Kvana, rtt the outsotof his speocb repeated much that 'llo said yesterday about tho dishonorable warfare thai was boing Avagod against him. He compared the sending onfcjof ciroular to tumblcbug tactics, and taking up a circular entitled "Evans's Evil JKecord Unrolled," ho hastily read the sub heads and denied the allegations until ho canto to tho bond deal charge, lie Jiatl. he deelarod, eXpJntnod last yoar in this very court-houso his connection with refunding tho Htato debt. Hie explanation sathsfiod tho peoplo thoq/ and after lie had finished, Mr. McLau i in c?mo to him and said ho shewed conclusively thai his transactions in Uia Matter had l>een honorable. Pear Appelt" has said that' lie 190 votes Jin Clarendon, out Appelt doesn't carrv the voted of ttxt* comity in hts pocket. Ho made several other allusions to "Mr Dear ArtpelV' which woro received with ?7?lls and hurrahs for Appelt. Home oo# iu tbeaudienoe asked Mr. E van* if the constables returned to thoir . homes last year and, worked for h?w rr -taflUr hli Wlw ~ V- Mr. EvaiQ- ' 'How da yon know they was Col.

Irby then announced that ho would not attack Molmurin's record in his ubttouoo; denied ho was running as n ' 'loose horse'" to oloct Evans; told his "stud colt" joke; gave his reasons for not uAuning last year, and dououucod tj^/campaign bureau in Columbia for ? tfu> circulars which it was sending out. i flo oxplainod how ho made Evans (?ov jruor, and Raid ho wan tho daddy ami jrand-dnddy of all tho politicians, bi^j md littlo, in tho .State, ox<H'l>t Tillman, mt ho hatched him. "Tho truth of ibis wholoi, matter is," said Col. J rby, "that Tillman and 1 joined teams in lM8(t, after his agitation in IKS;>, for tho purposo, first , to establish an a^ricnl tural college in South Carolina. As ! romombor, tho counties of Clarendon, Marlboro, Marion, Now hurry, Chester %nd Laurens responded to tho call frOm Edgofiold. Homo of tho representatives from those counties even HuSiked ami on tho question of collego or no college wo wfero defoatcd. "Tillman bocanio disgusted with any fittompt to organize the farmors^of tho tho State, throw up tho spongd, Jwroto \ long lotter to tho people of thNwStato expressing his contempt, androtived to his homo among tho liillsof old Kdge I field. I didn't surrender, howover, and kopt up tho fight in the logislaturo along tho lines of reform in tho admin istration of tho State government. Tho Tho college seems to he hopelessly gono; hut Cod came to tho rosouo by putting it into tho heart of Mr. Clom son to make his bequest . A fresh hold was taken, tho fight was ronowed ami fhb college established. Hut Tillman was out, voluntarily out. To get him back 1 originated the March convention idoa a yoar before tho convention was held and gnvo him tho nomination on a silver waiter. On the question of nom ination or no nomination in that con vention we woro defeated by ono voto. I cheated vtho question of nomination which savtfd Tillman, who was to bo tho noininqo,^ Tho end justified tho means becauso a person opposed to nominations had not been invited to that' convention, nud they had no right to control its deliberations. Tillman is tho last man in (lie world to raiso his hand against mo, for up to , lastycnr I hud beon a bettor friend and closor to him oven than a brother. Without ino ho would have been on his plantation today, an liumblq farmer and a busted politician. Ifo says lie's hands off in tho fight. Cod tgrant it! 1 ask uo man to bo my political godfather. If I can't mako tho fight with my ownhcolfl I am not fit to bo senator. " Colonel lrby closed with an appeal for the factions tc? got toeothor and save tho democratic party in this stato. Both ho and Evans wero applauded. Chairman Bradham announced^ that ho had been requested to read tlio ad dress of Senator McLaurin to tho voter* of the state, which wus published m to da3''s newspapers. On account of being toounwoll to do so, he asked Mr. Appolt to read it. Mr. Appelt Complied, and on concluding tho address was applauded. The Florence Meeting. At Florence Col. Irby ..declared wru against Til Iman. In tho most remark able speech ho has ma^lo in this cam paign he reproached Tillman for ingrat itude and vehomently doulated: "I'll strike back if it defeats mo." As one liery denunciation after another rolled from his lips the crowd would yell, "Hit him again," and break into ap plause. t4 - Hesaid:JTho Hoforaiers ?'nerificcd mi lOTt vear because lvyas a Domofcr'atT I am tiio only one who has stood by the out Democrat id ship of {State sinco 1870. I don't expect. Tillman's support in this light, though 1 was the best friend h< over had since 1880: 1 stood by hire until I saw him seated in the Jjighest ollico in the gift of the pooplo. "Up tc then 1 was the "bully boy with the glass oyo;" since then ho lias pone bach on mo. * Tillman says he's hands off, but ho is mouth ,.ou. Ho has been prec&linp mo in thi3-<ianvas8. He was in Abbe ville before I reached thero; ho was in York, where 1 have friends, and now J hoar of him being in Union. What right has he to go found in my section of the State making speeches if he'f hands off? I'm getting tired of llm [ ^MTlg. It has got to stop. I'll strike back illtrslttfoats mo. (lo says nC Union that McLaurin is with him for tho good of the Soutli^ What does Tto mean by that? He meaus, "Voto for McLaurin; he's as gpod a tool as I want." it means Me/ Huaurin will voto with him for protection^ and this is the good of the South lit talks of. Vet this comes from the man who snid ho would voto for tbo l>in?m.\ bill were his vote neoded. What cloot he say about Kvans? "Oh, yes, h< would be with mo too if ho was there; but I havo nothing to do or saj about tho election for United Statee Senator." ? Evans interrupted and said: "Till man can't control mo. " Irby: lam resenting an instill tc you that you ought to havo rosonted vonrself. It's a nice thing after, yon have made such an able campaign in defenso of Democracy and tho people of tho Stato to be told by Tillman thai when you got to the United Stales Sen ate you will be all right to voto with him for protecti?mvi?nd fJiog ley bill fc, In othor words, if you vote for Mo lyfturin we aro togethor; vote for Kvana and I'll have him all right.

Practically 110 picking was possible during the week, and but few bolls opened ex cept in places where it is repotted that cotton ia"oponing rapidly, ltust is common and reported from nearly every county. Blooms aro still numer ous except on light suils where the plant is uppnrentlv dying. Sou Island cotton remains in good condition, generally and is heavily fruited, but is shedding alarmingly in places. Tho condition of corn lias steadily im proved and the estimates of yield are increased by correspondents, except on somo bottom lands where it is too wet arid w hero it is turning yellow. Fodder pulling made slow progress and much fodder was spoiled by tho rains before it could bo cured and boused. Late corn continues to look very promising and will soon bo mado. Tobacco curing practically finished except very late fields. This crop is reported to be of high quality, gener ally; the yield was large and sal<js sat isfactory of that portion of tho crop which has been mnrbotod. Rico harvest was delayed both on a<' count of unfavorable weather and slow ly ripening grain but will soon he gen e'ral. Lato rice shows improvement during th?j week, especially ovor the northernly sections of tho rice holt. " Peas were injured in places by tho heavy rains, but generally aro very promising. Pea-vine. hay euttiug will begin this week. Sweet potatoes aro looking well ami digging bus begun with 'excellent yields. This'^crop promises to bo a largo one. Turnip sowing continues and tho seed is coming up to good stands. Much grass for hay was dostroyod by worms in tho southwestern counties. Pastures continues in oxcellont con dition. Pall ve^ot?hles aro being plant ed in tho trucking disttiets. Late fruit scarce, except i ears which aro plentiful and of lino quality. Grinding cane and boiling syrup is in progress. Tho cano is said to bo too nappy. Minor crops generally aro very promising. ALMOST A ltlOT. Ofllcors and Negroes Clash at Charleston. A special to the Columbia Stato from Charleston, dated 25th, says: A seri ous riot was narrowly averted thin afteriiooa/(jojn' tho cotton factory which gave rise to the wildest kinds of rumors on tho sweets to the offoct that the ox reeled clWh between tho white and uegrc opacutertfa liad at last taken place. Tho trouble arose by Police Officer Walton ordering a number of negroes to clear off tho sidewalk. Ono particularly impudent negro rofusod to oboy tho officer's order and was im mediately placed under arrest. . Tho negro resistod crrost and when th6 olH cor brought his club into action a num ber of negroes jumped upon hi in. Kx JLioutouuut.of Police Fvrdham. a bravo and very Respectable colored citizen, who now has a position in the mill, poizod his rifle and came to tho assist ance of Walton, His action saved tho officer's life and had the effect of sub duing tho bltyod-thirstiuofls of tho negroes. ' The riot call tyul in tho meantime tfeen sent in mid in a short while (.'apt. Alrfrtin, Lieut. Ogilvio. and a>?juad,-6f mdieo had arrived upon tho^cona../Hix of, tho ringleaders woro immediately ar rejfted and sent to the station. The charce entered on tho books is resist ing oirest and assaulting the officer. It is provable Jlwit iho charge of rioting will also tJS preferred. Capt. Martin, in speaking of tho trouble, said that from what ho hail learned, tho offonding parties were not mill operatives. Thero seems, ? how ovor, to bo sonio doubt on this point, as several havo been found who say that the negroes were employed at the mill?}, Tho white oporativos, wno still frequent tho neighborhood had no hand in tho disturbance. ( , It is said that the oftlcors of tbo mills aro thinking about doing away with negro labor and coming back* to the whito, and this report probably ac counts for tho goncral impression that tho negroes, fearful of, losirig their jobs, are . disposed to create troublo, as a number of mill hands from Langloy aro in the city, which seems to give color to tho rumor that the 'nays of negro labor aro numbered.
