Samps Pope dou't mind being beatan by the masses, but he says the bosses shall not lav him on the ohelf. Governor Tillman has formally announced his candidacy for the United States Senate iu a letter declining to speak at the Governor's meeting in Spartanburg. The situation precipitated by the celebrated March Convention, th? resalt oi which was predicted that the white people might possibly be divided some day, now seems truly appalling. The advice of Governor Tillman to shoot if insulted, the law to search private houses, aud the willingness of his spie? to spill blood, together with the delay of tie Supreme Court,caused the trouble iu Darlington. It may as well be uuderstood that to refer to the present gubernatorial candidates as "pleasant gentlamen" is not to improve their chances of success. Tillman ran and won, not as a "pleas "* oiwl o morv nrhn Will ? ?- aui. ^CUUCUJAU f auu M UiUU IT uv ? not outrage half the attributes ol a gentleman had better retire at once. Governor Tillman had no business to send Attorney General Buchanan to Darlington. Mr. Buchanan refused twice before he yielded to the orders. We have this on good authority. He went, howev?r, and was trying to stop tke difficulty and came near losing his own life, but this was prevented by cooler heads. He was taken to a private house by tome friends. We are truly glad he arrived without harm. w. N. Marchaxt, of Grauitcrille, - gives the Register a piece of his mind. lie accuses it of being committed to Shell and McLauriu by its conduct in reporting th? Spartauburg meeting. Can you not see, Mr. Marcbant, that ^ tbe Register U trying to keep these reformers from quarreling about the main issue?office? If they quarrel the Register knows that there will be some exposures manifested which have been hiding behind that banner of llefortn. Of course we do not interest ourselves particularly in the conduct of a.iy of the men who spoke at Spartanburg last week, but for th? sake of any lady who may inadvertently be present at the coming meetings, and for the i take of those men 011 whose ears the ' language used by several of the speak( ers would fall rudely, we pray that this campaign may *>e one of decency, and not of vituperation, abuse and j malignancy.

Whatever may be said in Governor Tillman's favor as to his course in the Darlington matter, (and we candidly confess thai much may be said), he has gone to extremes not justified by f the condition of affairs. His declaring martial law was ill-timed aud not warranted by the circumstances. Tyranny is something- that will not be endured. It is true that the Gover nor has the color of statutory law on his side, but he is oppressive in his enforcement of it. He seems to delight in making himself offensive to his political opponents.

C., March 29.?The cold snap has played haroc with vegetation generally, and ?specially gardens. A few days since, Ridge w&y could boast, and did, of its line gar den prospects, tne appearance ui wiucu certainly indicated an early snpplv of vegetables, but in one night, our prospects and hopefc were blasted. The consequence is, there is a great cry for garden seed. We heaad one gentleman, who had planted twenty-four papers say he never had a finer prospact iu his life, tut now he wanted more seed for everything had been killed. Your correspondent was a little more fortunate, having nothing much to be killed, excepting turnips and a few cabbages which he had set out, othtr vegetables luckily, wer? not up. We think the fruit is gone?peach, fig, and strawberry crops especially, and are afraid our old standby, blackberrys, are also gone, but hope not. The great subject for discussion now is, not politics, but whether to plough up and plant over the corn which was "ammo tViaro oi'n cnm* nrlirt U.p? VI wuiog luvtv ?* v wvMiv k contend it should be left a one for a few days any way. Others say plough up and plant over. We agreo with the former, and base our judgment or rather opinion on the past. The corn left will not grow so tall, but will make a much heavier ear. Would be glad to hear some of our old farmers opinion on this. On the loth of April 1849, the day of a verv heavy sleet and snow, corn left, certainly made a much finer and heavier ear of corn than that planted over. This was prov?n conclusively on the plantation of the late E. G. Palmer, Sr., where one-half was planted over and the other half allowed to stand. Other instances might be mentioned, but space and time will not allow. Let us hear from yoa, farmers of Fairfield! The time is near at hand, whea the second division of the Fairfield Association will hold its union meeting with Pine Grove Church (West Wateree) at which meeting we hope to have a large attendance. The meeting will take place on the 28-29 of April. Let all the ckurches belonging to the uni?n be represented, and we would be more than delighted to meet as many of Union No 1 as can find it convenient to attend.

What Right Hail State Censtabloi. to Interfere in a Private Fight?Norment Advised Against a Difficulty?Darling ? -- ? ^ -M- fka ton reopie txpecien uw h?bu?i uv Depot. Columbia, S. C., March 31,1894. { The condition in Darlington is such 1 a* words cannot paint. What will be t the ontcorae no man can sar. God along knows what it will he. I Lave s just returned from Darlington. After s careful inquiry from eye witnesses. j I have gathered what I belie ee to be i the true story of the lamentable oc- i currence there Friday afternoon, and 1 I give it without fear or faror. Many < stories are told and it is hard to get J the straight account. Sifting down < all the stories I hare heard, 1 believe ' the following to be as near the truth as can be ascertained at this time: 1 The constables had performed their < duty in Darlington aid five we?t to the Charleston, Sumter and Northern ] depot to take the train, while the I others, eighteen in number, went to ' K* Pharanr atiA Durlinorf^n flpnnf. fO ( UI? *iiv? take the train there. The train was ] behind time and the constables sat and stood around, waiting for it to come ' along. Three or four of the citizens ' of Darlington were standing around, ] waiting for the train also. Paul I Sogers, clerk in the Enterprise Hotel, 1 came down on the bus. He had a few '< words with Billv Floyd, a brother of 1 the Dispenser at Darlington, and a i man who has been accused of carry-P**r\rY\ trv fKft 1D lUg Uil^? 1IVIU VUV OIUV cv U4V WMV4 ? Darlington. Floyd struck Rogers in the face, kuocking him duwn, and then jumped on him. Constable McLendon said: "Go it, Billy; whip h?11 out of ." The men were separated and Rogers went off, coming 1 back a few minutes later with several 1 others. Chief of Police Dargan had meantime approached Floyd and told him to appear before the mayor next morning. Floyd offered to go with Dargan at once, but he said it was not necessary. When' Rogers appeared, Dargan went up to him and asked him what he wanted. He said .t'loyil iiad not fought him fairly. He wanted a fair fight. Frank Norment said: "You town boys can have your light up town. This is no place for a tight." At the time he was sitting down. iVJcLendon said something about the fight having been fair. Norment then *aid it had not been. \IcLondon said: "You're & damn liar." Xorment replied: "Yoivie a lying and the cause of all the trouble.*' McLendon said: "I won't stand it," drawinsr his pistsl as he uttered the words and firing quick as ho c?uld get it level. Norment had risen as he spoke te McLendon. As he fell, killed by a bullet through hi? breast, he knocked aside another man, which probably saved his life. McLendon said as he fired: "It's got to come, boys. Let 'er roll." One of the constables attempted to kn?ck upMcLendon's hand when he saw him going to fire, but was not quick enough. At McLendon fired, those citizens present who had pistols in their pocsets, arew laem, supposing there would be a fight. The constables, seeing the status of affairs, drew their weapons also and the tiring began almost simultaneously. On one point there is a difference of testimony. -Chief of Police Dargan was between the two parties trying to preserve order. Some say he was struck by the first bullet, others that he was struck by the second. The firing lasted not orer a minute, but deadly work was done. Mr. Redmond emptied his pi.-t?l, it being reported that he gave Constable Pepper his death wound and also wounded McLendon. As lie half turned to reI load, a bullet struck the back of his i neck, coming out under his chin. He dropped dead. As Dargan started to get off the platform, one of the constables drew a bead on him and pulled trigger. Fortunately his gun missed fire. An old gentleman, Mr. Fountain, an unarmed spectator, said to him; "My God, man, hasn't enough blood been shed?" * The constable then - v _ ji . turn?d ana ran atter tne ooay ox constables, who were making for the woods near the oil mill. When Constable Pepper fell one of the constables stooped down and tried to attend to him. He held his ground after his comrades had disappeared. The noise of the shooting brought a crowd of armed men to the depot on a run. The town bell was rung and more ir.en turned out. Several went to the constable attending to Pepper, cursing and threatening him. The constable said, "Gentlemen, I have not drawn my weapons and took 110 part in the fight. 1 am simply attending to mv wounded friend." He was left alone, but later others turned to him and renewed the threats that had been made. The constable then drew his pistols and said that he would hare to do what he could to protect himself, but that he had no desire to shoot anybody and had not participated in the shooting. The crowd then ru-hed off in pursuit ef the fleeing constables and the remaining constable, soon as he found that Pepper was dead, left also. The names of the wounded 11 gave in yesterday's dispatches. The | wounded citizens are all getting along well. The bullet was cut from Dargan's side today. Several of the constables a:e reported to have been wounded, one iu the face, one in the leg, one in the knee and another in the breast. The wife of Mr. Normenf, a daughter of Zimmerman Davis, of Charleston, was brought to the depot and ir is saift that the scene when she reached the dead body of her husband was so bearu ending that it wrung tears from stroBg men. She fell upon his body and when die was lifted up her face and clothe-? weie red with the bl?od of . - _J rr>u:? ,K? rsf ner onsuanu. awio pui Uic ubi'M vrj the crowd at fever heat and created a thirst for blood which robbed men of their rea?on and allowed passion to rale It was known that Gaillurd, Swann, Meakin and two oihor eonsta bles had gone to the other depot to jke the train. A crowd of men, in less time than it takes to read this account, had dashed down to ;he crossing and when the traia went by they j fired at it, utterly reckless of the fact ( thit there were uthrrs in the train be- J sides constables, and that those con-1 stables in it had had no part jn trie, fight.

When the train arrived in Suruti r, Commander and Dreunan walked through the armed mob that was thii s:ing i?r constabulary gore, and stopp.d , within twenty feet ?f it to lalk with ne of Commander'* friends. Commander kept with him to allay suspicion, until he got i fT on the Wilmington, Co:umbia and Angu-ta train for Columbia. When the crowd ascertained that Mr. Commander had assisted a constable to escape, the sentiment againn him became so strong that threats of lynching him were openly made. &t times his chances looked rather bad, but sober -second thought and the statement of Commander as to his part, pulled him through.

March 29.?The jo Id wave that struck u* last Sunday, md increased to the fr czing point on Monday, was the severest and most ilislructive known for a number of rears s:> late in March. Vegetation that had sprung up like magic during the preceding two weeks of summerlike weather, and the trees ilut had put forth their buds and blooms with such phenomenal rapidity have now a singed appearance as if a wave of fire liad swept ever them All kind of fruit tree- were either in bloom or had bloomed and the young fruit beginning to be noticed whin the freeze came. The consequence is we will have no fruit at a 1 this year. Gardens were ruined and will have to be planted again. Peas that had been 3tuck and were ready to bloom, potatoes that had been worked over, and other hardier plants, succumbed to the rigidity of the freeze and will not make anything. In some corn fields where there were good stands and about ready to be worked the corn is completely killed and will in all probability hare to be planted over. Should this be found necessary, a good plan to expedite the work, as well as to get the benefit of the manure that was used 111 the first planting, would be to simply make a hole with a stick in the old hill, drop a grain or two and kick a little dirt oyer it with the foot. The use of a plow in making a new furrow would, as a matter of fact, pl?ugh up and watte the manure or fertilizer that had already been used. Our farmers are well advanced with their work, and some had thought before the cold snap of planting >ome rvktfnii wflek; bill, will not likelr do so now.
