In mors nml ItroUrn Limits ? Deaths. Greenwood, S. C., Aug. SENATORIAL t'AN DI DATES A l)I)ilEJ'.S GKKKN Last Thursday wan the day appointed for the cum] Id ales for United States Senate to speak in Urecnwood. Long before the time lor the speaking parties began to come into town eager to hear from those who are asking for their nut!rages for the highest, ofhce in the gitt of the people of the Stale. The speakers did not get here until one o'clock, and speaking tlid not begin until two. Nevertheless the crowd stayed to hear them and when Chairman Magitl called the meeting to order about eight hundred voters were present. It is IlOl our purpose lOgncuuj bjuu^iiu,. i?t spetehes, on ly to eive our observation of the meeting. Gov. Kviius led o(I and made Ills usual speech against. Senator MsLaurin's tariff views. His argument struck us as being made up for the most part of misrepresentations ol tiie views of .McLaurin. He tried to make McLaurin vote a hundred ways a sane man never t hought of voting. He liad a lew friends in 1 tie audieuce who greeted his charges with cheers. Some of these were from Greenwood county and some from Andersou and Abbeville. He was fol'owed by senator McLaurin who made the ablest stumD sneecli it hus ever been our pleasure to lisien" to. He took up the charges of Evans and denounced them as misrepresentations. He explained his tariff views to an audience which nave him the closest attention. There was sense and manhood In his speech, and it told on the Greenwood audience. He took up Gov. Evans direct lax doctriue, and completely demolished it. Col. Irby followed Senator McLaurln with his "original package," circus "lemonade" speech. He bad many trlendsln the crowd. Mr. Maytleld spoke only a few minutes stating where he stood on the Issues before the people. If the meeting here was any Indication as to how the county will go, the Pee l>ee statesman will be endorsed by Greenwood county. We have heard more than one man say that he was converted from one of the other candidates to McLhuriu by his brilliant argument. We venture to predict that McLaurln when elected will not lie Rlnw lo be heard from as one of the brainiest men in the United States Senate. We believe lu him in preference to any man in the State. SURGERY. IVs. Maxwell <Jfc Neel and B. W. Cobb performed two dilllcuit surgical operations on last Thursday with good success. In the morning they cut six tumors from the neck of a negro, who lives ou Mr. McLees' place uear town. The negro 1b doing well. On that afternoon I hey were called into the country to amputate an arm lor Mr. John Hlntou. When they arrived they lound Mr. Hlnton s arm terribly mangled. Whiiedriving a wagon iroui town he was throwu between one of the wheels and a tree with the above results. Dr. Neelaud Dr Cobb upon an examination ot the arm lound it dislocated at the elbow, and almost mashed oil'. However they determiuen to try to save It. Accordingly his elbow was set and the wounds sewed up as best they could. At this writing Mr. Hlnton Is do- | lug well, and his arm is sale. So much for men who are skilled in their profession, and Know when to cut and when to spare.

On Wednesday the Farmers' Institute wi held when various Professors of Clemsc college took part. Senator Tillman spoke c that day. On Friday the candidates for senator!) honors addressed the people, namely: M Laurln, Evans, Mayflela, Irby. Except on Monday night, the editor of tl Press and Banner was not present at tt Teachers' Institute. Dr. Rice, President i the Columbia Female College, was the orat< of the evening. He has great lung pov?*e and bis physical condition seemed at 1 best. He spoke uo as to be heard dlBtlnctl; We didn't quite understand the point or pit of the remarks which he made, though seemed to us that be meant to enlarge on tt Importance and responsibility of teacbin; We thought his manner at times lacked little of proper reverence and hie frequei reference to "God's green earth," and "Clod universe" rather confirmed that lmpressioi "As deep a8 hell and as high as heaven" wf one of hlB favorite expressions. He ha something to say about "a pair of minutes, the drift of which we did not catch. Tt Doctor has many admirers in Abbeville, wh are always glad to hear him. The high oflh which be holds is the best evidence of bis si perlor gifts and endowments. The music during the evening was excellec and the recltatlou by Mr. Slaughter brougt down the house. Pp*alHont nilllom nnnnvinrfiri t.hfi nnnp.li sion of the exercises, and said tbat an lnte siting program bad been prepared for tomo row night. We beard Professor Newman's addrsss o Plant Growth." He commenced by payln x nice tribute to the wisdom and sagacity < the Almighty in the preparation of the sol and the perfecting of other conditions necei ?ary for plant growth He, in fact, approve ibout all tbat the Lord bad done in that d rection, and from bis frequent mention of uh name of "God" we presume tbat he, like Ml aammed, is a special friend of God. Professor Newman had specimens of plaol before him, and he explained In a leartie way, the whys and the wherefores ol plitc jrowtb, all of which was highly instructiv .0 the scientific audience. The lecture, b *aid. was very much the same as tbat delh jred to the students at Ciemson, and wai therefore, a specimen brick In tbat lnstiti ;lon. When he concluded his speech, 8om< jjody asked him something about terracei In reply to this the learned Professor applle some good bard horse sense In plain Engllst ?hinh will llkfllv do miiflh pood. He showe ,be great value of properly constructed terra :es. After Professor Newman bad finished th erraces, Chairman Blake Introduced Senate rillman as the next speaker on the pro-grurr Senator Tillman made a speech which lm pressed bis bearers. He has In him the el? nents of oratory and the power to sway a: ludlence. As compared with the speaker )n Friday, Senator Tillman Is a great mar I'he Senator Is a bold and fearless speakei ind while the audience was wltb him, ye ,heattention was so respectful tbat Itmut lave been more or less painful to the orato whose speeches hava been heretofore so get srously punctuated by enthusiastic applause We thought he paused several times for tb ipnlause which did not come. ile denounced the newspapers, without ez jepilon, but even this did not excite an ec .huslastlc response. Senator Tillman said tbat McLaurln ha >een charged with not belrg a Democra The speaker said that be bad voted lor everj :blng that McLaurln had voted lor, and salt 'I swear to God tbat I am noi. a Republican! When he touched upon the dispensary b made an able presentation ol the benefits c ;he law, and pledged his eternal falthfulnee :o the people. He urged the people to stand to Clemso college, and spoke of the difficulties wblc he trustees had experienced In getting suit ible teachers. The Agricultural college wo necessary to the most successful farming. During his speech he frequently spoke c 'learning" people to do so and bo, wbec, h meant to say "teaching." This newspape made the same mistake? ;not knowing se ;er)-Rome ten years ago. The Register, li in articleof a column's length kindly polntei jut the error, and made it so plain tbat w recognize It now whenever we hear it. W jnderstand that some of the teachers at tb nstitute said ''learn" when they mean teach," and said "progrum" when It wa morally certain that they meant "program, rhe Superintendent of Eduoation will poss sly see tbat the first grade certificates are U ten away from such teachers as do not knoi setter than to pronounce program progrum On Friday Senator McLaurin defended hi ;iews on the tariff measure In ajdlgnlfied am m personal way, luiprcBaiug wc ^cu^ic it forably. Hon. John Gary Evans, spent most of h) :ime In exposing McLaurln's unfitness fo Senator, and combatting the fallacy of pro ectlon for the South. He bad something t say of Calhoun, the speaker having seem ngly forgotten "-hat the principles for wblcl Calhoun struggled In the time of slavery ar low exploded theories. Mr. Mayfleld exposed the weakness, wlok idness and worthlessness of the dlspensar; aw. He felt kindly to Senator McLaurlc >ut he wanted the place himself, and wouli letter represent the State in Washlngtoi .ban could McLaurin. Hon. J. L. M. Irby appeared as the las ipeakeron the program. He, like tbeothe ipeakers, thought that McLaurln's plac ivould be better filled by another?and tha >tber was himself. He thought Mc*-aurli vas a Populist, and spoke of tbe political lc tolerance of the Democratic party. "Why ellow-cltizens, when I was chairman of tb larty, some of them actually talked of turn ng me out of the party." People ought to b in their guard against Populists.
