whiskey traffic has, always been under

of tbe United State i government. No

It is absurd then to argue that

dividual rights. In dealing with States,
the same rales apply as in dealing with
an individual. aeu the Reformers
came into power, we found the old
State drunk. The barkeeper ruled our
largest cities and e,ren defied and intimated
our high .tofficials. Every barroom
in Soutn Carolina was a political

of some politician. Our young men

you can horn sty into thieves, but we

be ready for total prohibition and we
shall have it. The young men now

country will be blooming prosperity.
Ninety seven per cent, of the people of
South Carolina are in f^vor ot this law
and yet our laily papers are houndiog
it and trying to produce the impression
in the outside world that the Governor
cannot enforce it and the people
are agaitst it. They are a s weet scented
set, these anti dailies. They cuss
and fume because :he Dispensary made
so they .say, no money for the
.first quarter and they cussed and
fumed louder because it did make
r. - a litTle in tte second quart
er. It has paid expenses from the
start and it is now paying the State a
handsome income. \Ve do L.ot care,
however, for the money, it is the happiness
and protection of the people we
are struggling for. Drunkness in our
st.atft ha? nnAn dec raised overseventv
Ave per cent, aDd many a home no w
*. - radiates wiih tbej.ucshioe of sobriety
x <* and Christianity, which heretofore was
dark with crime and poverty. We are
being watched bv the civilized world
and in les3 than four year this law will
be enacted by a rt.pjonty of the States
of our Union. Already Massachusetts
is following us and cur National Alliance
has made i:;an issue for the Union.
"Who are the men that are fighting
it ? The saloon keepers and scum
of the earth, whc live on the boweries
of Charleston and Columbia, aided by
^ socLi patriots as endeavor to bankrupt
Iiid State, advised insurrection aod connive
at fraud for the purpose of making
a ltt.tlA nnhtieil 'canital aerainst
our movement. I regret to say that a
few extreme prohibitionists are with
them, out I do not impugn their motives.
I shall thrc w the mantle of char^
ity around them and ask to forgive
then for they know net what they do."
Prohibition is ss sure to come as we
are here, but we mast first prepare the
way for it When a man has delirium
tremens, we do not take his whiskey
abruptly away from him. "We mix a
" littlejin his medicine and finally get him
In shape to take it from him entirely
So we must treat the State, for a State
13 Duiaeouecuon 01 muiviauais aiiu
has the same symptoms aad desires as
Its component pirts.
We have been invited to make this
law an issue in the campaign, and we
have taken up the glove. Let the enemv
meet us face to face and we shall
_ ask no quarter. Suffering humanity,
has already arisan to call us blessed and
the true and good must be with us.
Tbe attempt to place me before the
people as the candidate of any one man
or faction is simply an effort of the opposition
to create the impression that
a snilt exists in onr ranks. I am the
candidate of no man or fastion and
those who think that a spilt exists In
the ranks of the Reformers will be in
the position of the little animal who
saw the Ring of beasts asleep. Thinking
him dead, the little skunk offered
the lion aa insult; exuding his offensive
odor. The lie n awakening crushed
him with oneslao and all that remaned
was a small urease soot and a little of-.
fensive odor. Sc in August next, when
the Reform lion awakens, all that will
be left of the opposition will be a small
grease spot and ;i little offensive odor
in the office of tie Columbia state.
WHAT POPE SAID.
Dr. Pope was in the hands of his
it friends and perfectly at home. He is
a forceful speaker and to-day did no
discredit to his reputation, but added
to the high esteem in which he is held.
After the usual introductory remarks
Dr. Pope got down to business. In
substance he said:
I propose first to take up for discussion
State issues and will as auxilliary
to that give, as I believe, the causes
which led to the formation oX the Re
rorm movement, wnion nas swept tnis
State from the mountains to the seaboard.
J.t cannot be deniec that up to 1890
that the State ofices of this State were
parcelled out as ;t were between a few
persons; that the masses voted, did the
electing, but did not participate in the
holding. The Aliance, the great educator
of our people, was organized in
this State in 1889, it gave new life to
the Farmers Movement, and consequently
great and increasing strengh. It
taught our people to think for themselves
on State and national issues, and
once they commenced to think for
iiucuisciv cs au uiiuo tucy uegau tu aut
for themselves and cast about for leaders
to carry out their ideas. In 1888,
without any concert of action, enough
delegates were elected to the August
convention (the number I believe was
146 out of 320) to give them
increased confidence as to the
future success and when to this
was added the AUiaDce education
beginning in 18S0, there was no trouble
in carrying the State in 1890 by an
overwhelming majority. The March
convention of 1&90 had selected B. Ii.
Tillman as the . eader to carry this out
in the canvas w-aich followed he proved

any of his opponents on the stump and
was triumphantly nominated by the
September convention of that year and
at the election in .November was elected
Governor. Again in 1892 he met
ex-Governor SLeppard on the stump
and by a large majority of delegates
was nominated and at the November
election was ;i second time elected
Governor of :he State. The credit
to these trrimphs belongs to tne
Alliance and tc the Farmers Movement
both of which ;o about an equal extent
in the numbsi- of votes cast, contributed
to it In the present
canvass which is soon to be on
ns neither of these factors ?an
or must be ignored; to ensure
success it is ntcessary that both pull
together as in the past ani that in
selecting candidates tnat neitber mast
be ignored.
Theremust.be the utmost harmony,
for without it we cannot succeed. The
Reform, movement, as 1 believe, first
took definite, practical shape in 1884,
although efforts without organization
had been made several years btfore,
having no organization before that
timft if. txrac T*>it IflQ.l
v*?v ? k/uo ia iuin
a caucus was formed by a number of
the members of the General Assembly
which, if it did no othei good at the
time, caused the Farmers Movement in
the State to organized itself into a prac
tical body.
In all of the canvasses which we have
had, the masses, as well as the leaders
deserve the greatest credit, for without
their earnest self-sacrificing support
and vote nothing could have been accomplished.
They have been as true to
the principles of the movement through

poie, whilst unfortunately there has
been difference hwriest 'Jifierenee I
hope, between some of the leaders,
there has beea none among the masses.
Let us hope that all differences among:
ourselves wiii be amicably adjusted
and that every leader will feel tQat the
success ot the movement is paramount
to tfce success of any individual, and
that we will move on to success as a
band of brothers puttinj? behind us ambition,
contention and fault-finding.
And if there are any wno will not do
this, let them be dropped from the roll
of membership and fellowship.

ed into office he had a right to expect
the support of every Democrat in the
State regardless of faction, but 1 am
sorry to say that the bitterness of the
opposition was so gre3t, fed as It was
by a hostile press, that he was obposed
almost at every step. It was known
for years that the Coosaw Company's
leave would expire early m 1890 and
tbat it would become the duty of the
Executive, if the company did "not surrender,
to bring suit to get possession
ot the territory* When the time arrived
the company persisted in still occupying
the territory and suit being instit
uted it was a long time ia the courts,
but the State sucetded. This action on
the part of the company cost us much
loss of royalty and a considerable
amout of money as fees to lawyers, all
of which would have been avoided had
the company surrendered at first.
The railroad Commission increased
to some extent the tax of the-railroads.
Some of these corporations being ia
the hands of Receivers sought the protection
of the United States Courts,
which upheld them in their efforts to
defy the laws of the State and when so
far as to fioe and imprison some of our
sheriffs who had leyid upon the property
of the roads for taxes. It is hoped
and believed that Congress will take
wmp MpMrtn Ir?r?lr1nrr to f.fift D-iSsace Of
a law which will clip the wmgs of this
judiciary and prevent interference oa
their part with the State in the
collection of its t*xes.
Although the Act acc? ting the bequest
of Mr. Clemsoa t as passed in
1S89, still it was left to C jvornor rillman's
administration to complete the
buildings of Clemson College, to elect
the president and professors and open
it to the people of the State, This Is
to-day the grandest educational institu
tion m the Slate, it is educating rrom
the masses, whilst heretofore the State
institutions for the a>03t part have
educated from the clasies. With its
five or six hundred students and its
splendid corps of professors its influence
for good will befe It for all time to
come. And the Legislature has not
been unmindful of the white girles of
the State, for under the Act passed
creatine th-3 Normal and Industrial
College a liberal appropriation supplemented
by a large subscription from
the noble and progresfive citizens of
Rock Hill, the buildings are now going
up and within a year tnis college will
be opened to the girls, enabling them
to be educated. My friends this is a
measure for which the Reform movement
alone deserves th8 credit. It is
the first administration that has recognized
the education of woman.

laas; through the energy, perseverance
and management of Governor Tillman
ably assisted by that prince of fiaan
ciers the State Treasurer, the Hon. W.
T. C. Bates, the debt was funded in 4
1-2 per cent bonds, a saving to the State
in annual interest of over .eighty thousand
dollars,and when you remember
that it was funded during a panic jou
will see that it was a splendid piece
of financiering, worthy of your praise
and admiration. The Legislature of
1892 passed what is known as the Dispensary
bill, which not being as perfect
as desired a new bill was passed at the
session or i?ya. ine nrsc om wem,
into effect on the. 1st day of July, 1893
?of course there was great opposition
to it and every effort that could be was
made to defeat its going into effect or
its success whilst in operation. The
greater part of this opposition came
from citzens of cities, towns and vlllieges.
So far the law has held its own
and the dispensary has more than, made
expenses. The constitutionality of the
first bill is no r before the Supreme
Court; it is hoped that the court will
sustain its constitutionality, but as
f.herfl a n?w hill nndftr which we are 1
now workine different in the main
from the old lone a decission affecting
the first would not effect the last The
courtis called upon therefore to decide
a mere fancy question without the decision
being of any practical benefit to
the State or the opposition. In other
words a decision that the old law was
unconstitutional would not affect the
new law. The law has I believe been
of great benifit to the people, there is
much less liquor drunk, we have gotten
rid of the barrooms, of night sales
aaa 01 selling to naouiai uruu&arus ui
minors. 1 for one hope that the revenue
will never be more than to pay
all of the expenses^ whether or not it is
to be more remains to be seen. The
present Legislature has been unable to
reduce taxation to any great extent because
the railroads are withholding a
large amount of taxes due the State and
because of the storm on the phosphate
industry, thus cutting down a revenue
of 8238,000 to an estimated revenue of
?75,000, all of which will go to the
Sinking Fund under the terms of the
Act funding the bonded debt. Still the

It has been charged that the expenses
of litigation under Governor Tillman's
admlstration have been very* heavy.
Who caused it? Coosaw and the
railroads caused the m93t of it by openly
defying the State. Should" the
State have quietly andtam submitted
V Governor Tillman has sworn to
execute the laws, he could not under
hisoath have done less than he has done.
If you will refer to the back numbers
ot tne (old) Board of agriculture of tbis
State T thins? that vou will find that as
much or more money was spent. In
prosecuting the case or cases against
the Pacific Guano Company for the
benifitof the Coosaw Company by the
Agricultural Department, and not satisfied
in those days witn paying large
fees- I think the State gave a fee of
SI,000 to one of the Attorney Generals,
and 1 have no doubt he deserved every
dollar given him.
Having consumed this much time on
State affairs, I now propose to touch
upon national affairs.
I favor all of the Ocala demands, I
believe them all to be Democratic, any
?x 4-rv fk/s wjvKa* A
IiiC*3UlC iUU&.UJg IAJ UUQ 1CHCL U1 uuc
people not antagonistic to the Constitution
of the United States is Democratic.
I believe that all of these
measures are constitutional. The free
and unlimited coinage of silver is called
for under the constitution of the Democratic
party, it was expected that the
present Congress would pass a bill to
that end, and if it had been put on as
an amendment to the repeal of the
Sherman purchasing bill it might have
gone through, the one pulling the oth
er aiuug as it, were, out m tuat byoui.
the President would have vetoed it, for
heis,andhas been for years, opposed
to the free coinage of silver, and I predict
that if the bill which has just
passed the House for the coinage of the
seigniorage passes the Senate that the*
President will veto it. 1 do not believe
however, that it will pass the Senate.
We want the free coinage of silver onja
ratio of 16 to 1. We cars nothing for
rm xuck Qro in An
ey for our own people.
The national banking law is at the
bottom of all of thi3 devilment in finances,
opposition to free silver and to
tbe government issuing all of the money
and enough of it until we shall have
a per capita circulation of at lea3t $50.
Under that law national banks can
contract or expand th9 currency at will
they can contract 75 per cenb. of their
issue and some of them have done it,
all of them have contracted to a greater
or less extent. When the panic oc X'.
-- ' .' V . - ,
curred the? got scarred and expanded j
a little. Wall atxftef, af-.arr.pd thfi oanie
for the purpose of influencing financial
legislatloa in Congress, but the thing
got out of their control and it took
hard work on .heir part to stop it. In
order to do so, the national banks
(some of them) expanded their curren- S
cy; mont-y like any other commodity is 1<
governed by the law of supply and de- S
maud. When plenty it is cheap, when e
scarce it is high. It is to the interest "5,
of every banker and money lender to
keep the government from enacting a e
law to issue and lend money direct to
the planter upon non perishable products,
but last, summer tae national J;
and other banks did worse, they pooled
your paper (notes) that you had given s
them and issued as money, clearance * '
house certificates oa it, which circulated r
until the hard times were over, but it X
isaU wrong, so they say, for tne government
to do the same thing for the ti
benefit of the farmer. d
I favor tbi3 issue by the government. Q
We have been shown the practical and n
beneficial workings of such a system by 8
the banks themselves as I above set
forth. :
I am in favor of a protective tariff ^
primarily ior revenue ana seconuaruy
for the protectiou of American labor v
and American manufacturers. The
Democratic (national) constitution 6
calls for a tariff for revenue and it ap- a
pears that the present tariff lacks S65- o
000,000 of being sufficient; now instead t:
of reducing: I favor the addition of su- t
gar, the difference remaining to be g
raised by a tax on incomes. The farm- t
er buys his plows and agricultu al ma- E
chinery cheaper under the present high t
tariff than he ever did under a lower e
tariff. If the tariff remains the mills j
are coming to the cotton. You now
get from H to >?c. per ponnd more than 8
for your cotton by reason of these F
mills and in addition von sell VOUr Sur- 11
plus from your gardens and "farms to
the operatives. The profit made from i
manufacturing remains with you c
where the stocfc is owned or to the ex- t
tent that it is owned by our o wn people. r
We are just now getting in a condi- i
tion to reap some of the rewards of c
protection. r
If Mr. Calhoun, the great apo3tle of ?
Democracy, was alive today, with our
different surroundings and associations
I believe that he would b9 as he was 1
when he first entered political life, in 1
favor of protection. Time changes ev- c
erything; the man who is wedded to an c
idea and will not succumb to changed
circumstances will not. change nis j
views to accord with those changes, is a
very hard-headed to say the least of \
him. I own no man on earth for mas- v
ter. I have my own views and dare e
maintain them, if popular it is all <1
right with me and the same thing if unpopular.
we nave ail witnessed toe prejudice of
Mr. Cleveland to our faction with jj
feelings of astonishment and disgust. *
Our faction gave him the electoral vote ?
of this State, without our vote he could 8
not have carried it, and our vote was f
counted a8 a Democratic vote In the c
Electoral College for him. He has
seen fit, however, under the tutelage of a
others to refuse to recognize U3 In the r
distribution of Federal patronage; all ?
of it has been given (I mean State at ,
large) to the minority. We offered to
divide, this was refused. "We got nothing,
they got everything; if he and tney .
are satisfied, we are. I3ut the strang;est 11
part of this patronage is that whilst 1
OUGIJ, laiueib auu ikiui>auuu aic iu uuo
same beat with Latimer and Strait, the
first three are allowed the patronage of
their districts whilst the same is refused
to Latimer and Straic. None of
the five are "cuckoos." None have done
tne bidding of President Cleveland.
Then why this difference? I must confess
that it is a mystery to me unless
it be that the ex-Congressmen of those
two districts are given it to strengthen
themselves for another race; the only
other ex-Congressman was too proud to
have interfered with his successor, and
the other two succeeded themselves.
ha if tallrtw niMzpna* iflt: ns trn t.n
work ia this district and roll up for our 1
Congressman a larger majority than be a
fore; he deserves it at your hands, for ?
he has been faithful in every trust, and
I for one think more of him today than t
I ever did before for his manly behav- c
iour in the matter. I hope that our j,
friends in Dr. Strait's .district will do n
likewise for he too has acted a manly :
part. 1
And now in conclusion, I am a candi- a
date for the office of Governor. I am E
between two fires, I have a part of the
anti press damning me with faint ?
praise, ridicule and irony. On theoth- e
er hand there are those of our side who 1
when thev needed my services thought u
me everything, some of whom now p
think me "a crank," ''eccentric" or "too p
extreme." Well my friends, in reply ?
to this I c.in only say that I have tried c
to do my dnty in my humble way and
have contributed all that I could to tbe ,
success of the movement. Iu reply to ,c
the extreme part I will say that I am 11
the only man in any county wha has r
presided over a County invention c
since 1890, and am the only one who c
has presided over the State Convention n
daring that time without friction. I
am in the race and will bow to the will e
of the people. a
My hope is, I am free to say, with the n
masses. . All that I ask of the Reform 0
voters 13 cnat in selecting aeiegawjs tu a
the nominating convention, give every .
candidate a fair showing. I reiterate: 4!
All that I ask is a fair, square deal. I J
thank you for your attention, and am ?
only sorry that I could not be more in
terestiug to you.
Several letters from other candidates
who were invited to be present will be

a Mr. Smith were|shot at Screven Tues- t
day night by Calvan Carter, a negro. .
Smith was killed outright and Flynn
was seriously wounded. Smith lived at -t
Coffee and went to Screven in search
of runaway turpentine hands. He was
told that a number of turpentine hands
who said they runaway from Coffee
were in hiding at the house of Calvin
Carter a bad negro. Smith andFlynn
went to the negro's house and inquired
about the runaway hands. Carter
would not answer their questions. He
became anery and without a word of
waring picked up his Winchester rifle ?
and began firing at the white men. Smith
was hit first. He staggered from ^
the door a few feet and fell dead. Then 8
Flynn who was standing some distance !j
from the house was shot at A second ?
shot struck him, inflicting a terrible 1:
wound. Carter, when he had finished t
1 his crime made his escape. *

he law ot supply and demand? They
hould comtnaad the situation and cotirol
their moat profitable staple, which
fleets Lheir welfare more than all poItical
questions, to the discussion of
rhich so much time is given.
Which is more profitable, to raise
,000,000 bales at 12 cents, or 9,000,000
,t 5 cents? Some argue that the pries
f cottor. muBt equal the cost cf producion.
This is a misleading argument,
ecauss even some of the Southern
;tales possess special aovaulages, so
oat wnue at a certain price some winnunities
would get a fair or small profit,
he same price would mean ruin toothra.
S>me farmers will say: '-Well,
. make enough of everything: to do me
,nd can afford to plant the r.alaoce of
ay land in cotton." This extra.plantDg
is the cau3e ot the low price.
The WDret trouble in some sections,
fc seems, (in my opinion.) is the merhant,
because if a laborer can borrow,
>uy, beg or reDt a mule, he can easily
ent the land, and the merchant permits
tis lien to be in proportion to the amount
>f land he has in cotton. Many farmers
>romise to pay big prices for corn, provilions
and other necessities, expecting so
mormous crop ofcottoo to pay for everyhing.
The big crop comes and prices
nust necessarily be low. Then the debts
;annot be paid, and of course, general
lemoralization is the result.
OTVMT nonnrtf fjrmf-ra nraarvz* some
)laa which would permit only so many

u that the latter can be grown all over
he world. Snpply and demaod must
lontrol prices. When it is known how
nany acres the S:uth has planted in colon,
spinners immediately begin to figure
iow low they can buy your cotton nest
rear. No doubt, Manchester spinners
lave representatives in the South now,
iguring on how many acres y">u will
)lant, aaisfor how little they can buy
four cotton.
There is one ptint I wish especially
o emphasize, and that is the tendency
if the South to send out false reports in
egard to the probable amount of cotton
hey will ravse. This works gieal injury
o prices. Whj? Experts go South,
ook up the crop, estimate the acreage
md the amount you will make. Tneso
armere will say five bales to the horse.
Che experts, having taken in the situaion.
know Dositivelv that seven bales oi
otton will ba made to the horse, or at
east a difference of easily 20 per cent.
7he reports of the farmers, who estimate
he crop at only five bales to the horse
,re given to the government and
aany large houses, who send
hem cut. Then, the jSouth, with this
a'se idea, will imagine that the crop is
xceedingly small, and will buy cotton,
ihe experts give their opinion, wbich is
.sually correct, to many influential peo*
tie, who then sell you the cotton at high
dees, based on the estimate of five
>ales to the horse. When the time
omes around for you to sell your cottoD
t is apparent that the crop will be seven
sales to the horse, and jou will get the
dw price cn this basis. So you can
eadily see that hundreds of speculators,
ottcn traders and merchants live?and
omtortably too?on your false eafciaates
of the crops.
I am a native Southerner, with Southrc

Washington, March 5.?Representative
Talbert, of South Carolina, has
a "touch-and-go" style about him that
often creates a breeze when the House
Is experiencing a"dead calm." To-dsy
during the consideration of the pension
appropriation bill Representative Ilebburn,
of Iowa, was arraigning the
Southern Scates for opposing pensions
to Union soldiers. Mr. Hepburn is a
persistent waver of the t;bloody shirt,"
and he never loses an opportunity to

proposition to increase the appropriation
for the improvement of the Charleston
harbor pendiDg the debate upon
a river and harbor bill. However, today
he wa3 denounceing the Secretary
of the Interior and everybody in the
South for opposing, and Mr. Talbert
thought that as none of the older members
of the House would call the Iowa
cyclone down he would undertake the
task. Mr. Talbert is not sufficiently
familiar with the rules of the House to
ask permission of the Speaker to interrupt
a member who has the floor, so
he broke right in an proceeded to de
nounce the statements of the gentleman
from Iowa as unfounded and unjust
to the people of the Southern
States. 2Ir. Talbert has a voice like a
fog horn, and he could be heard aboye
the noise and confession caused by
the ponding of the Speaker's gavel and
the shouts of ecouragement from his
Democratic associates. He declared
th?t the records showed tnat the, pension
rolls are honeycombed with fraud
and coiniptiOD, and flatly contradicted
the statements of the gentleman from
Iowa amid shouts of approval on the
Democratic side. It was a lively scene
and Mr. Talbert msre than held his
own against the experienced member
from Iowa. Finally Representative
Latimer too? a seat nesiae ms colleague
and persuaded him to let the Iowa |
cyclone rave, he could do the southern
people no harm. The House eDjoyed ,

Voorhees Scored. ,
Indianapolis, March 3.?'There is !
a surprise in local political circles over ]
an open letter addressed to Senator .
Voorhees by William L. Hig^ins, of 1
Elvator D, in this city, in rssponse to ]
an inaniry by the senator, addressed to J
manufacturers, for information relative j
to tariff revision. Altogether 35 ques- <
ticas are presented ;a the inquiry," but \
Mr. Hig2T-n3 makes answer to but one, ?
the seventeenth, which he claims that i
the main cause of the present depres- 1
sion is an over production of senatorial
courtesy, "which has become a byword
ana reproach in every corner of the land 1
and which has caused ycur once honor- [
able body, the EeDate, to be regarded as j
a s! umbling block in the way of advance- j
ment and reform, and which has caused .
a widespread feeling that it should fce t
abolished, or in some way made reepon- .
sible to the people for its acts. The dis
regard which it has shown for the suf- i
fering country, ''continues Mr. Higgins, t
"has its only historic parallel in Jfero \
and his fiddle." Mr. Higgins argues ?
thai the people have already returned ?
this verdict, and all the senate should do |
is to give iu'lgment without stopping to *
call upon the beneficiaries of a vicicu^ i
tax system for opinions. Mr. .Higgins |
then as?ails Mr. Yoohees personally, |
saying that he, Higgins, is un- *
able to reconcile hi3 present I
conduct with his speech at ihe \
Cotton exposition at Atlanta, and \
that the yGung Democracy of Indiana, ?
to which the writer belongs, is demand- *
ing that he show a reason for longer |
continuance in office. "There are no \
longer anyJJemocrats in Pennsylvania," g
says Mr. Jtuggms, "ana 11 you aua your
associates persist iD your present con- 5j
duct tbere will not be enough Demo- >'
crais in our next legislature to caucus i
for ycur nomination." What Mr. His:- j
gins evidently wants is for the senate to '
do something and to do it quick.

There is still some talk about certain

Senators sav they are not fall? satisfied

to state that they propose to vote against

There has been considerable ,kblaffias>"
on the part ol the so called "conservative"
Senators, and tljey have

these dispatches the Democrats of the
Senate are pledged to pass a tariff reform
measure through the present Congress
and they propose to redeem that
pledge in spite of the contaminating
influence of the Sugar Trast

the Senators from semi protection states
have been obliged to make a fight for
dutieit on certain articles, but after all
they will walk up and vote with the

all predictions to-the contrary notwithstanding.

Tbo President today nominated Mr 'A.
A. Gaudy to be postmaster at Darlington,
S. C. This ii> supposed to end one
of the hardest fights over a Federal appointment
that has ever occurred in
South Carolina. The appointment was
made at the instance of Representative
McLaurin as a compromise between Mr
Waddill and those who cuccessfully opposed
the latter's unexpected appointment.
Mr. McLaurin had a long con
SQltation with Postmaster lien. uissen
this morning in behalf oi Mr.Gandy and
be was afterwards referred t the President.
To the White House Mr. McLaurin
went, and before he left the President
signed the appointment.
It will be remembered that Mrs. Lsw
ami Mr. J. P. Kirven were the the original
applicants. Mrs. Law's friends
attacked .the character of Mr, Kiiven,
and Mrs. Law was about to receive the
appointment when Mr. McLiurin withdrew
Mr. Kirven's name and recommended
Mr. J. M. Waddill. There was
a meeting called bj Messrs Thompson,
Wilcox, Woods and those of the town
who hied a protest against the appointment
of Mr. Waddill. The Law side of
the controversy was backed by ex
Governor Hugh S. Thompson and Ex
Senator Hampl.cn. Mr. "Waddill by
Ssnator Batler and Mr. McLaurin. Mr
Waddill's appointment was confirmed
b7 the Senate, bat the commission was
held back by the Postmaster General.
Charges of all kinds were made pre and
con. but it was plainly evident that 90
per cent, of the people of the town opposed
Waddill, at the Postmaster General's
request finally Mr. McLaurin
recommended Gandy, and immediately
the same fight was begun against him,
with Henry Thompson, the son of JEx ,
Governor Thompson, as their candidate
Senator Irby says there will be no opposition
to Gaudy's confirmation.?

as many suppose. It_exists in several <
States of tbe union; Virginia, oy a law
passed in 1884, taxes all incomes in excess
of 3600 a year. Massachusetts collects
an income tax on all Incomes over
