M m~ . Ex SrEAKER Carlisle in the forum L for May shows very conclusively that the Republican party has not kept its promises inviolate. The White Oak people are pushing their fanning company riaht ahead. The btw:ie-> l.i> paid in "th- parts of the S.ar*'. K.?irfiekl can do .? well as any other county. The owr.ers of the eanncrv in Columbia repo it a success, awl are thinking of e Purging the business. Surely other vections will follow close in behind Wh'te O.ik. Every farmer might a canning business. It will only cost him $lofl to do so on a small scale. Mr. Cleveland 5s certainly a wonderful mm. and Mrs. Clev iand a wonderful woman- IIow they talk, how they walk, how they s t, how they lire*-, ho.v and what they eat, what the* do at home, what hey <io away from home, and every th^s? connected with the Ex-President : nd his . wife is :i matter of interest to the whole United. States. But unfortunately they are uiade to do and say many things, they don't do or say. Mr. E. M. Drayton* i6 reported in the Charleston World as saying that the Republican State Convention will not be called until alter the meeting of i he Executive Committee. Hedges not know vet what nominations will be made. "The Republicans were keeping their weather optic* on the present dissatisfaction in the Democratic ranks, and it' that amounted ti? (nothing in the war of a s;?!.r, he thought that the only nominations u? be made would be for Congressmen in the First, Third and Seventh district.-. It is certainly eucoufacing lo see from reports pnOiislx <: t if me farmers arc so well up wi-ii their work. f The indications are that this will be a ^ most jncec^ful \ear.

Even if the seasons art ii?t propitiou2, the goo'! buginuing, the thorough preparations so generally .nade, will count for i great rlo^L We shall send out oosta's for weekly reports. Too Early. ?? It is to be regret led t hat !he political agitation has started >o soon, and thrown int?? the bsclc ground other matters of more consequence to the prosperity of the people. At this season of the year the people, generally, 1 r. . J an.i iiic iaimcrs, jjuiiicui- ??>, ?;??sraged in matters coming nearer to the lire?ide at home than politics, and should be allowed to quietly pursue this course. In 1870 Hampton was nominated in May, and the warmest and in-?.-t. exciting' pv>litical contests the V State has ever had, was brought upon it. The narrow escape of defeat proved that a long, early and vigorous campaign was necessary to accomplish an election <>* the D-.-mof?? . era tic nominee. The indications are that the present campaign will be a, very exciting one, bui there is not, iu the present ?tate of facts, the least necessity for the same tactics. We fail to see the wisdom of forcing a hot campaign before cotton is even chopped out and in many places not even planted. That there is both wisdom and necessity of having a free and onen dircussion, no one *;an deny. ? Certainly we will not, but on the contrary we advocate it. Our criticism is the precipitation of the discussion at this time. The farmers should have been allowed to plant and lay by their crop, and then say whom they wanted for their officers.

A. Aleares, with Captain Till-1 man by ins siue, a Jitue neiore j.i o'clock in the morning, headed the procession for the woods, near Sir. H. \V. Desportes' home, where had been erec'cl a splendid *tand. The pre.^s was not neglected, indeed the cornmitiee .vas especially kind in their attentions, having provided chairs and tables for the reporters. Reporters present were Mr. Tighe, ot the Xexc.t ii/ul Courier, O. N Flanders, of the Columbia licgixtrr, Octavus Uohen, with Stenographer C. G. Link, of the Charleston World, W. C. Casey, of the Augusta Chronicle. F. II. MeMaster and A. \V. Clayton, of the Columbia licco. d, ai.d Thk Nkws axd IIkralu reporter.

Youmans ; wc:?j brought on i he stand and were i j very kindly received by Mr. K. R. j J Til!man. SPEAKING BEGINS. Mr. 11. A. Meares, at 11 o'clock, arose and said, in substance: I have the pleasure of introducing y< n a gentleman distinguished, tirst bi-eause he ha.* been chosen by the recent Farmers' Convention to expound its plat form, and second as one suggested i<> the Democracy of the State a- the fitte>t man for Governor. [Vociferous applause. Cries of Tillman! Tillman!] 1 now introduce to you OAl'T. K. II. TILLMAN. OF EDGEFIELD. Mr. Tillman spoke abont two hours or a little more, and wc regret very inuch that we cannot give a verbatim report of his speech. We were unable to secure the >-erv:ee> of a stenographer. The foll.nvi g is, in the mail), his address: Mr. Chairman ai.tl Fellow-Citizens of Fairfield inunty; IJefoe I begin to "ay what I imv i.? %:ty, I request that those men !? h;nd ihe -tand comc m ironi s? inm run i<?tiK me m Uie eve. (Cheer? ) I t'.ir h-r request thnt voh give me > nr ti:i livided attention, and if any ???> ' interest I a^k him to step a*id?- when* ho won't disturb those who waul t.? listen. It affords me uleasnre fo mi* t-Howcitizen!* and have them I >..k nn* in the eye and see whether I am i.n- nun thk newspal'eks hare painted. From what you have read in the papers you would expect to see a man with hoof?, horns and brimstone pourin? from his nostrils. Cut vou see only U plain iuru:er wnu ivnr i cm s ago had never made a speech.. I want to th^nk the newspapers of the State for so liberally advertising me, and they should nnke up a purse for havj iny gjvcti theni so much to write about. We are here as CHILDREN OF ONE FAMILY and I hope that nothing will be said to create any ill feeling. This is a fight of brother against brother. It is a family contest and when it is a!) over, I hope that you will come together as one man and maintain the ascendency of the Democracy. He felt not tnc sngruesi anger ;o warns the press. for maltreatment and persecution. By abuse and persecution from the nature <.f our people man/ conservative uien had been brought to his support. And in some places a most effective way has been taken to call newspapers to taw for this intolerant abuse of an honest white man, by refusing to subscribe to such papers. I don't want to be misunderstood: believe in the freedom of the press. They have the right to express their t ominous in the editorial columns, but should give both sides equal showing in impressing their epinions. His objection applied to those papers which refused to publish articles on both sides. A l'ree press is the palladium of our liberties. They will all come around right after a while. We need more papers; we read too little. We need education. This is one of the troubles in the Democratic party today. This action of the newspapers to garble things has forced the campaign iuio which wc are now going. While they have thundered to the right of me, to the left of me, under me and ni-ninu! me. it has been all smoke and no powder. A gentleman is here (referring to Colonel Youmans) with a carpet sack fall of them, and I hope you will give him a respectful hearing. (The crowd shouted: We will listen to him, but they did hear you. Subsequently proceedings will show they didn't keep their word inviolate.) Captain Tillman: I had a good deal of cheering the last time 1 was down iu Barnwell. Taking up his address after this interruption he said: T\*hat is the charge thfty bring agaiu?t B. I{. Tillman? lloiied down it is nothing more than that I have dared to allow my name to be used before the people as a candidate for Governor. My speeches have been suppressed. The Jforh! tried to <rive it. but the stenographer got his manuscript mixed. J am the exponent of a principle and the advocate of n policy, which T V \ P" believe will give n.s th* best government. WHAT IS TILLMAX1SM? It is self-government and eeonomi- i cal government. Xow why did the i convention assemble in Columbia?; It had been charged that lie as mem- j ber of the executive committee' of the Fanners* Association had the; call issued for the purpose of getting himself nominated for Governor. It was done to prevent the politicians : from forestalling the farmers by an exercise of superior political tactics, j I went around with Governor liich- j ardson to the seven meetings held in j 1888. In four counties out of the! "" - ' "-J J ? I seven they nan "roresiaiieu us, anu uic delegates had their credentials in their pockets. So the old plow fanner had to ?0 home and swallow Richardson although he wasn't the choice of the people. "What did the State Convention do? They made two important changes in the party constitution. They abrogated the State canvass. They prefer working in the dark. They propose to take a breeches hold on ns. We arc just A HTJL J.fc 1w sji.vui i for them, and we have now got the breeches hold. The other side is in the bush looking for a candidate., but haven't yet found one with courage screwed up to the sticking point. Turning to Colonel Youinans, Captain Tillman said: Are you a candidate for Governor: Colonel Yonmans: No, sir, TIIE KINGSTERS. Resuming, Captain Tillman said: We were at home seeing afier our negroes, while a few?shall I call them ringsters? [A voice: Yes!] Well, the ringsters would meet and get control of the conventions. NOMINATIONS NECESSAliT. Some arrangement* were necessary to get the farmers waked up. A platform and nothing more would not suffice. It would be broken down with office-peekers. The whole ring would get on it. NOT N* A HKD OF ROSKS. I am nc. on a bed of ro?e$. My plantation will suffer by what I am doing now It will be left to the old woman and children. The other side will move heaven aud earth to defeat me. Then the vituperation. Some on the other side said that thev wouldn't vote fur him if he was nominated bv the Democrats. Yet no one . V * , nao nearu 11 man uu un? oju? ?&j mai he would not vote for another man if Tillman was not nominated. We can have but OXE l'AKTl. Division of the white* would mean a return of jrood stealing. Bid9 would be made by each side for the ne^ro votes. K AI x! rain! It n?w be^an to rain s.o hard that the audience retired to Mr. H. W. Desportes" ginhoufce, where Captain Tillman got on top of a xill, and asked if a.H th(> reporter* were fixed. saving be wanted the press to see the differ^ ence between bad treatment and decency. Are the gentlemen of the press ready? said he. Silence gave consent. So Captain Tillman proceeded with his discourse. DISCISSION NECESSARY. The condition of things in the State heretofore have made discus-ion practicably impossible. This is onejof the evils which grows ?ut of the existence of one parly, hence anything like friction in the party has always been cried down. It was thought better to sutler something than to run the risk of Radical rule. This has given ri*c to t'.e election of slick-tongued iellows, who run vith the hare and bark with the hound. Men are elected to offices on personal popularity. Such men, it you have any in your County, should be spewed out of your month. What a flutter the March Convention has caused, so different from ten years ago when JOHNSON flAGOOD AND M. \V. GABY were out for Governor. The crowd which has ruled the State since '76 condemn those who redeemed it This crowd chose delegates to St. Lmis to nominate a candidate for President They controlled the County conventions, and when they got to Columbia in June, seeing that they could nominate Ilagood, they did it. What a howl, though, has been raised because we farmers had a convention in March! DON'T WANT TILLMAN CLUBS. t i. . m;n ..V.-. j i aon t wain any unman uuujuiganized as has been done in your County, but lei's tight it out inside the Democracy. Eternal vigilance is the price of our liberty. ALLIANCE NOT IN POLITICS. The Alliance i- not political, and I don't want it to make any endorsements of a man for Governor. I mean no reflections on Mr. Mearet=. THE REAPPORTIONMENT question was next discussed and table* in reference to this matter were read by the speaker. [Mr. Tillman said if the County paper would publish them they could be better understood. They will be published hereafter.] THE COUNTER CONFERENCE was touched upon. In reading its a.ldres*, the speaker quoted the lan guage of Job: "Ob, would tbat mine enemies would write a book." He styled Messrs. .Tones, Woodward and Iredell as three blind mice, and aristocrats. COLONEL YOLJIANS, of Barnwell, was introduced by Captain Tillman as a distinguished gentleman, who uutortuuately had nerer seeu anything good in Tillman or Tillmanism. It had now stopped raining and all went back 1'roai the ginhouse to the woods, where Mr. Youmane, "with his carpet sack of newspapers" and a very interesting little scrap book with all of Tillman's articles to the newspapers began hi* speech. He soon proved that Capt. Tillman bad written one book too many. It is well that Mr. Youtnans is a ctto), deliberate man; fur confusion was at ita highest pitch a!l through his speech, in spite of the tact that the meeting wa? called for a fair and open discussion of the issues. He was not to be discomforted by the effort to >now him tinder; not even the rain was to stop him, for he expressed a willingness to speak in the torrents that fell from the heavens at times. Mr. Youmans occupied about four hours in the delivery of his address, and no one but an expert stenographer could d-> him full justice, so the crudest svnoposis is given here. He quoted David A. "Wells and Sumner on the tarili' and argued at great length that therein lies the trouble with the fanners, lie was not here as the '-suggcstfd*' candidate of any man or set of men, and explained that his interest and the farmers were the same. He very learnedly produced authority to show that the dissatisfaction among the farmers was common throughout the whole country. lie dwelt at length on the manipulation of the currency. That crowd, however, didn't giro a snap for currency or anything else but Tillman and even he couldn't quiet theia. They were not disposed to hear Mr. Youmans. Capt./Tillman asked them to ?ive Mr. Youmans a respectful hearing-. The rest is taken from the 2?evs$ and Courier, the onlv paper whi^h had 1 ' a a stenographer present during the entire speech, and we observe it does not publish all that Mr Youmans said, i but it has most of what took place in j' the ware house, where the crowd ', went by unanimous consent on account of the rain. Most of the proceedings t were in the shape of repartees, and j a long hand writer was at sea on this sort of thing. The .Veirs and Courier j concludes the performance which Mr. ! Meares characterized at one time as j indecent as follows: THE PKOrKCflOX 1'BESS. On reassembling Col. Youmans re-1 sumtd the >nbject of the tariff news- j papers, and began '.villi the Augunta' Chronicle, which he said supports Till man. "That paper." he sai.L, "is a protection paper- Maying the farmers , sell in ooeii markets of the world, but | making them buy at 40 per cent tariff, i which goes into ihe treasury or :nanu-1 factures. Will Mr. I'illman deny lhal j John C. Calhoun said that the tariff was a tax on the people?" Mr. Tiilinan: "No, 1 will not deny it." Mr. Youmans: l,Now, as to* the Charleston World: where is Mr.' Cohen, who, I underhand, is to deny that it is a protection paper, and that it j is run iu the interest of capitalists and manufacturer.''? Let ih s-ee where Ihei World stands. In the first nbee it | ?P:Ii tha I SUpfXJi IS ft. 11 I IU4tl | AUU 13 luv only one of tlit live dailies that has endorsed iiiin. Isn't ih.if so, Mr. Tillman Tillman: "I don't know. I harw nothing to do with the World, and I don't take all or'the live paper#." Col. Youman*: "Well, 1 will tell you why it supports you. I have been informed (and now ie the time to 'deny it) that that paper it owned by capitalists rich men financially, and by some of the aristocracy uf the country. Capt. Shell swears at the aristocracy and Capt. Tillman swears at the taxing of the poople, and yet in the paper that supports hiiii ihoic U to | be found the aristocrat and the manufacturer. Do you want any prool? I don't think it can be contradicted that the majority of the stock of that paper is held b/ men who own nearly a half million dollars in stock iii the iron mills of Alabama. Where is Mr. Cohen? Can he deny thin?" THE SECESSION. There being 110 reply from Capt. Tillman, or anybody else, the meeting proceeded until the rupture, which occurred in this way: Capt. Tillman to Col. Youm&ns: "Do you stand here to-day, in the face of the Constitution of this State, wMMi vaii TOprp own rn t<? and JVM. fl v. V W .. ? "J ? . justify the act of robbing Reaufort 'County of Representatives to give to Hampton County?" Youmane: "No; 1 dou't admit it, I do not admit that I or any of the party robbed Beaufort County of its Delegate?." Tillman: "Can you stand here today to justify that fact, that Richland, with its 9,000 white people, his two mure delegates than Spartanburg, with nearly twice as many Democratic votes? I want to a?k you if, when a man yoes and swears to a constitution* if he doe# not obey it isn't he a liar?" Yfiiuians: "You mean to say then that the Leginlature perjured iuelf in ulblllg ii1c usui lu (uc v^una*luniwu j and because the census for a reapportionment was not taken?" Tillm&u: "Ye*. The Ie?islatore swore to obev the Constitution of 1868, which is to-day in forcc; and It provided for the taking of the census. Let me read it. [The section was read.] "What I mean to say i* that the legislators swore to obey it, and they didn't do it." [Loud applause, confusion and hurrahs for Tillman; counter hurrahs for Youtliatu 1 "Now let me read from Article 9.'| [The veiling and shouting for Tillman not ceasing, he turned round on the crowd fiercely and shouted: "Hush up, yon are worse than a set of jackasses."] Capt. Tillman then went ou to read the section requiring a reapportionment on the basis of population, stating that the Legislature had not done Its duty. Youraans: "Th# Legislature passed an Act requiring ?uch an enumeration to be made and I defy Capt. Tillman to say that such provision was not made." Tillman: "[ know the census wa* not taken. What was the use of passing an Act without jnvinsr the tnonev for the work." Younuns: uOb? that ii not the question. Yen charge the legislator* with being purjurers. You don't deny that they passed such an Act?" Tillmau: "Produce the Act" Youmans: "Oh, no; you made the indictment; }Ou must sustain it or admit that the accusation ie false." At thispoiufcin the proceedings the meeting was wild with excitement. It was beyond the control of any human agency. Tillman got up pale and excited. lie evidently desired to talk, but there was no chance. Eventually Col. Woodward got up on the bend of tho iqUI* onH thnnfprl ? "Thrte cheers for srraighont Democracy!" This started pandemonium again, and besides it was raining torrents. When partial silence was restored Cvd. Youmans got hack on the stand and f>aid: ' 'Gentlemen, Capt. Tillman ha9 indicted the State as a perjurer and the legislators as perjurers. This is a big indictment, and I ask him to prove it." [Great confusion.] Tillman: "Gentlemen of Fairfield, I came here proposing a fair and honorable discussion. 1 ask you to say if I hav? done anything to-day to suffer such unfairness. I will not listen to another word from you (Col. Youmans) if you don't prove your charge of lying against me." Youmans: "Well, I hare forgotten . 5? ? nnmrvoinm VA11 m* 111 A V/Aiayaig it j vu w renegade and a traitor. It was you who charged me first with being a perjurer and you can't prove the indictment" Tillman then turned his back on the speaker and left the depot, beingfollowed eut by about the 200 friends. Outside on "the platform he called Ills friends together and sent for the Reporter of the Sunday Neics. Capt. Tillman was about to speak when Mr. Meares, ths chairmau of the Ridgeway Alliance, got up on the box and said that the meeting wa* called in the interest of Tillman and that "it was bound to him." Capt. Tillman then addressed the briefly. He wanted to know if in all fairness they had any excuse for attempting to treat him in that way. He called Col. Youman's speech a rigmarole. He said that Col. Youmans had put himself beyond the palt of a gentleman and that he couldn't continue the discussion. After some further remarks Capt. Tillmaa dismissed the meeting. It was he, by the vray, who introduced Col. Youmans to" the meeting in a rerv cordial manner. ?pocli. The transition from long, lingering and painful sickness to robust health marks an eDoch in the life of the individual. Such a' remarkable event is treasured in the memory ami the agency whereby the good health "has b?en attained is gratefully blessed. Hence it is that so much is heard in praise oi Electric Bitters. So many feel they owe their restoration to health, to i the use of the Great Alterative and Tonic. ' If vou are troubled with any disease of Kidneys, Liver or Stomach, of long or short standing you will surely find relief f i by use of Electric Bitters.

There are two distinct classes of re- ; ceptioiis hel i by i !?e 1'fident at the White flouio. ?) tliese, however, include those vi-i - midetoihe Chief Executive, ??wcu break his health and brinff hi- ?\-iy hairs in sorrow to J)e jrruv?, it !.-n-t to a political grave, it' he d??? tot or may not listen to the demand* undo on him to , repay political obli^'ioHa. The daily papers here jrive a list of i the President's caller*, and with an > ?1"? ?r r.i(l i n i-a 1 active iiuagiiJAuwii wut in.** |<u/iuib i the anxiety of these visitor.-* as they ; enter and the look of exultation or ! disappointment they wear on their exit, depending on how their partictt- j lar tale of woe was received. Seeing j this class ofcallets if, however, not j counted a reception. In the olden time?, in order to satisfy the curiosity of their subjects, crowned heads were often subjected to considerable annoyance aud inconvenience. At one time in France the lfoyal Family dined where any one who chose could come and gaze on them perform tne necessary but unjnajestic feat of supplying the inner man. Although the President of the United Sutei may dine in private, still public sentiment requires him to show himself to hi' loyal subjects at certain intervals. In other word*, he receives or hnnrQ UJ AilU *11 CUIIIVI Q Ul liVM* V j during ca. h Wetk. This reception does not lend to iuipro* one with greatness and power of t!.- liighvM. office in the gilt of the greatest people on the ylobr. The East R?oni ot the White House is alwavs open to sight-seer?, and here the crowd collects on public reception days and await the appointed time to gaze on the Presideut and shake his hand. The hour having arriyed, a door leading to the other rooms is opened aud presently the victim is brought in. He is accompanied by some member of his official family, and takes his stand near the door. The callers form line and as they pass shake hands with the President without anv introduction. A "good morn ing" or "I am glad to see yon" is the most that escapes the President's lips as he presses the hand of a sovereign oter. A child occasionally causes a diversion. President Harrison sometimes kisses these, probably being drawn to them by his thought* of Baby McKee whom he has just left at luncheon. Sometime t-ince* young lady from Canada was visiting here. One day she and her escort were out ti^ht6eeing and among other places visited the VVkite Hou?e. In the East Room were found several persons appareutly waiting for something to oc.:ur. The number soon increased to about seventy-five or one huadred. These teemed to be ktraugers in the city and to hail from all parts of the Union. On interrogation an usher said it was nonofol roi-enlinn ilav. Ilpr Maififctv'rt I Ovl4v* *' vvv^^w.. ?; - -v / ' subject was very much disconcerted by this announcement, and more so by the invitatiou to remain and "be presented." She had visions of court dresses, flashing jewels, long trains, and of kneeling to kiss the royal hand. She probably also thought of the skill necessary to retire without turning the back on the Queen and at the same time to uvoid tripping: over the train of her dress. With these in her tninu wue may imagine Ucr dismay on looking at the street casta me and thick boots uot improved as to polish by the mist and raiu and tnml of the street. Her escort uorsuaded her to Iremaiu and she "passed by" with the throng", ihtrebv losing: much of her respect for the greatness of the highest office in our land. This cla.s* of reception mast he to the President what the whispering; slave was to the Koman Emperor. The receptions of the other class are fear in number for each rear. These are given in the evening from 9 to 11, and are tendered, one each, to the followin* persons. 1. To the Diplomatic Corps. 2. To the Senators and Representatives auu Judge* of the Supreme Court. 3. To the officers ot the Army, Nary ana Marine Corp*. 4. To the distinguished citizens. Cards of invitation are necessary for oue to attend these. Usually three of the ilas*e* named above are ifvited to meet the other one, whose special reception is to take place. Ladies attend in full oveniugdress and all officers wear the uniform or other insignia of office. For display the reception to the Diplomats is" usually ahead of the others. In addition to these at noon u New Year's day the President receives all officials and dignitaries. Only men "pass by" on this occasion, but there are always ladies on hand as spectators. A short description of one of these evening receptions may be of interest and will suffice for all. All the lower floor of the White House is thrown open, including an exquisite conservatory. Floral decoratious abound, but the East Room is specially given over to the florists' treasures. Cut flowers, smiUx and palms abound. At the last reception to the officer! of the army, navy and marine corp ou Tuesday, April 22, a new departure was made iii decoration. Exquisite cut flower* and lovely roses were joined i?to incbers and stars with green back ground of palms. The Marine Band, oue of the finest in the United States, discourse such music that one fee's inclined to sit still and listen. The guests begiu to assemble at 8 or 8.15, and so*n the rooms are alive with the elegautly dressed throng. It is not uncommon to see a fla*h of li?ht aud on looking for its origin find a diamond necklace or tiara that makes one almost believe iu Rider Haggard's "King Solomon's Mines." At iiini* nVlnr.k thn Presidential! part) comes down stairs. It consists ot the President and the ladies of the White House, mombers of the Cabinet and their ladies. This party Voon passes to the Blue Parlor and take position in all readiness for the "work" of the evening. The reception properly begins then. An usher, usually the" marshal ?f the District, introduce? the guests to the President and another repeats the name for the receiving ladie?. These latter stand in order of the rank of their husbands on the President's right, while iu rear and filling the Blue Parlor entirely are the specially invited guests. After passing the receiving party the guests enter the East lloom and from there scatter all over the lower floor.

At the meeting ' of the Euphradian Society on last Saturday night week Frank C. Withers | was elected president of that society.: Mr. Withers is now a junior and is the first president chosen from his class. This is considered one of the highest honors conferred in the University and can be taken as an indication of llr. Withers stand amoii^ his fellow-; students. Among tlie other students : from Fairfield who are taking a good stand at the University are II. L. j Elliott who is one of the brightest men j in the class and is very popular, Otis j Withers, the best base ball pitcher in j the University and bids fair to be one j or the leaders ot ms class, ocoti Douglass who stands well in his class and who is reputed to use the best English of any student of the University, Means Beaty a hard student and with bright prospects ahead, Hamilton Ilanilian, who is accused of being lazy but who is one of the most popular boys of the Institution, and Frank Duke, who was highly distinguished at the February examinations. There are others who have not made themselves prominent yet but by their gentlemanly manner and studiousness promise to maintain the reputation Fairfield has established at the University. On last Monday night a dance was given at the asylum in which the in mates joined. Dances are given there very frequently. A few of the towns people always go and assist in making a few hours of pleasure for the poor unfortunates, who seem to enjoy themselves very much on these occasions. A base ball league has been formed among the tliree Columbia clubs, the Midgets, the University Club, and the Mechanics. A series of games will be played for the pennant and the Erenin Record has offered a medal for the best all round player. The first game of the series was played on April -2otli and was between the University team and the Midgets. It resulted in a victory of 1) to f> in favor of the Midgets. The meeting of the anti-Tillman farmers on last Wednesday was a matter of much interest to Columbians. The gentlemen who composed the i convention received every courtesy afc the hands of our citizens and conducted their convention in a most proner maimer. Prominent amoHg the delegates was Maj. T. \V. Woodward, of Faiilield, who lias many friends and admirers here. The address issued by the convention is considered as the proper thing and its mildness and justice is commended. The sentiment in Columbia is strongly in favor of that expressed by this convention. A number of our citizens expect to attend the meeting at llidgeway on next Friday. The meeting of the board of directors of the State Alliance Exchange passed off quietly. The proceedings of the meeting were not made public but it is stated that the exchange is in flourishing condition and that its first years work was a success. Action has been taken for the making of arrangements ior purciiasiug uagjjxug and ties for the next season. The Southern Press Association which meets in Charleston.

The city wa6 canvassed bv a joint committee of the Columbia Press Club and the Board of Trade and $700 was raised by contributions from the citizens to be used in entertaining the visitors. It is not known whether or not the; association can come to Columbia, but' it is hoped that it will.
