I IN HIS HOME COUNTY. hbut m'laurin too unwell to ap I PEAKle Waa H?m*mb?red? sort People Attended the Campaign Meeting Wednesday? Evans and Irby the Only Speakers. Still confined to his bed from the hysical collapse which he sutFer?d at r??w;iio flonotnr MpLiaurin was Iigain unable Wednesday to face his >pponents on the stump in his home sounty of Marlboro. The absent senitor was touchinglv remembered by a lumber of very handsome bcquets or him being: sent to the stand. The rowd which assembled numbered ,bout 800. They listened quietly and as uietly left when the shaking was ver. I Chairman W. D. Evans presiueu. 3e introduced former Governor Evans is "a young and gallant son of South Carolina?one who is not unknown to Mr. Evans expressed his gratiticalon that so many were present, and *>k it to indicate that the people rere awakening to the real issue of his campaign. He did not believe that nimosity of county pride would cause he voters to forget that Democratic riEciples were at stake. It was not i-a.?x;? x- Av.i (Qienuua t.u aumc on his public utterances. He de to oonduct the campaign 7 and honestly, but he did not e his mouth should be estopped 9 one of his opponents lay sick in Especially should he have the of speech, as that sick opponent laving circulars and copies of a :ville paper containing the supl speech of Mr. McLaurin at that . In speaking in McLaurin's ice he was at the disadvantage of lg to read from his speeches and }wing up their fallacies. 3 question of this campaign is, Hr. Evans, "Will you follow new evangel,' who would lead j into the Republican party, or pou cling to the faith of your fa* i" Hastily then he reviewed the y of the tariff from from 1832 to resent He told of nullification I ana aeciareu, xuhu ?uai for making a straight fight." He charged that Mr. McLaurin had spent two hours in Sumter in trying to show there could be no such thing as tariff for rvenm only. A comparison was then drawn between the Democratic and Republican tariff demands. That word "protection" in the Republican platform was misleading, said Mr. Evans. We think of it as the protection of a father for his child, or the I protection told of in holy writ. The farmer of the south and west is a free trader if he's got any sense. Why? Because he's got no manufacturing interest to protect. It is to his interest to buy his goods as cheap a3 possible. A little later Mr. Evans declared ho had to take McLaurin's printed record around with him, for he would deny everything if the record was not pulled on him. He had succeeded in pin-1 ning him down to one thing, and that was his opposition to free raw material. McLaurin has declared. "I don't believe in free raw material." Then he stands with Havemeyer and 'm ' * rii 11 1/.T 2 Iine sugar xrust. onouiu mcijaurm be elected on his platform of opposition to free raw material he could receive, were he corrupt, 11,000,000 for voting to place a duty on sugar. The people would be estopped from criticising him, because prior to his election he had announced that he opposed free raw material. Mr. Evans vigorouslv attacked Mr. McLaurin on the cotton, woo) and hide schedules. In conclusion, he declared thaf. McLaurin was the jackolantern that would lead the people info a K/mt lin+il tVietr wmilH sinlr nA 4UW? ******* yond hope of extrication. Mr. Evans was applauded. OoL Irby was introduced as the "unconquerable leader of Reform in 1890 and 1892." He spoke with more than his accustomed fire and vigor. "I am not the man," he begun, "to strike a sick or fallen foe." He prayed God that McLaurin would be restored to health and vigor in time to meet him once more on the stump. Then, and only until then, would he assail him, "I had rather be defeated ten thousand times than to know that I had been elected by striking the sick." /A 1-,. \ Iininuaiuse;. McLaurin, if possible, should re turn to the stump, but if he can't return, I say he either ought to withdraw from this race or send Governor Ellerbe. Why Governor Eilerbe.' Because he above all other men, is responsible for the political status of affairs in this State, and if he comes Til take care of him. "I am as much oi a Reformer today as l was in l?yu, but I am a i>emocrat." No one could impugn his record as a Democrat or a Rjformer. He told how he was sacrificed last year; spoke of his record and services to the party, and declared tnai McLaurin himself said he never voted wrong. His vote on the Wilson bill and ids defeat of the silver compro mise, placing the ratio at 20 to 1, were recounted. He did not have and had never had a political godfather. Mr. Evans had at Camden intimated that Tillman favored his (Euan's) election. i Mr. Evans denied that he had. He had only said, he declared, that he had wv*fiivftd a lftttpr fmm Tillman I saying he was "hands oil'," in this race, but that if he were elected he would welcome]him as a colleague. Ool. Irby said the explanation was satisfactory. He concluded by saying he had not made the speech he would have made had Senator McLaurin been present. If elected, he said, the people would have two Unit, ed States senators who would ever act for the best interests of the people. jJIailiiy and Murder.

CLuMSON COLLcG-Vreniueot Ui<V>KSiaari Say* Home t;?tu Thiuj;* A boot the nrftiiutiois. The farmers institute at Sumi.tr or Saturday ended tn k rather unexppct ed manner with an eneonium o.*Oi?m son and a defense of its course bj President Crai?hr?d. At the co;iciu sion of his addrc-R same one iu tk< audience asked if ii wi-ro true, as sotn< claimed, that Clemson was being turned into a iilerary institute. Mr Craighead replied that such was no the case, and he did r,oi s*e hove an] intelligent man who knew amythin< of tho work 81 Uleuisoa could forrr such an opinion. He said there wr-.r< no literary studies in the college enr riculum but English acd bis'orj ; tba he did not think that a student shouk be allowed to graduate !rom the col le^e without a knowledge of the moth er tongue, and no man could c!ai;n t( be educated who did net have a least a general knowledge of the lead ins facts of history. He said that nt money bad been spent on liie literan department, but that tens of thousand had been scent on the industrial ani scientific, such as the dairying, horti culture, agriculture a-?d veterinary departments; to equip the machine shop, foundary a ad forge, the clectri cal, geological, botanical and chemi cal laboratories. Iu short, the litera ry features of the college had beer completely overshadowed, auu if anj mistake had bean made it was no sriven enough prominence, perhaps to the English literature and language Compare Clemson with the two lead ing agricultural and mechanical col leges in the south, that of Alabama and of Virginia, over which latte: McBride, has so ably presided. Ther< were only two general cours?s ii Clemson, while in Alabama or Vir gina there were seven or eight. It both tbese institutions a boy couli graduate without taking any agricui tural or industrial studies. For ex amnle, iu one of the four year course at the Virginia school, and also it Alabama, the following studies wen included: French, German, cDnsti tutional history, astronomy, politica economy, etnics anu psycnoiogy. xi other words, just such a course as i: given m the ordinary litorary colleg< for the B. S. degree. In short, Clem son has been doing her own legitimat* work and is not duplicating tho wori of the South Carolina college or th< denominational schools. Further more the industrial feature of Clem son was more prominent than that o any other southern agricultural anc mechanical college, except that o: Mississippi. Some one in the audi ence asked President Craighead whj he telegraphed that there was malari al fever at Clemson when the stat< board of health had declared it to bs an epidemic of typhoid. In reply, h< said he wired that they had 3U cases o malarial fever and only one of ty phoid, because that was the informa tion furnish3d him by the college sur geon, backed by two or three promi nent local physicians. He did no know whether they had an opidemii ? * J TTTftP M At ui lypuuiu ur uut, it uui v mush concern at this time. Wha was of concern was the promise of th< trustees to make sanitary condition; as perfect as possible, and thereby prevent fever or any other trouble He would not o a any consideratioi reUecton the state board of health but that it appeared a little singular t( a plain man that the two out of foui cases of typhoid fever treated by th( most modern methods should die whereas 50 or t>D other cases dosed or quinine and calamel, the old fashion ed malarial treatment, should recovei in three to fifteen days. That, how ever, was a question that concerne: the doctors, and the only question o importance now before the trustoei was to assure the people of perfect san itary conditions for the future. Ir concluding, he paid a high compli ment to the faculty, whom he consid dered able and energetic. The insti tute was conducted by Professor: Shiver, Connor and Craighead anc and was well attended, considerinj the little advertising it had had. Pres ident Craighead's address on the ag ricultural problem was eloquent anc interesting. He leaves the last part o this week for Missouri. FEVER AND MALARIA. What la not Known AlMtut Tlu.m Wonli Fill Many Books. In a communication in the Stales vilieLandmark, Dr. John F. Foarc discusses fevers and malarial disease; and their cause:. He charges them tc impure air, decaying animal and vcge table matter, and thinks that a fruit ful source of these diseases in the ru ral districts is the felling pf trees ir streams, causing their overflow, tht decaying timber also giving oil'poi sonous vapors. lie says that froir 1810 to 1S50, "many thousands o: lives were thus prematurely sacrificed annually in that section betweer Charlotte and Greensboro, when health and happiness had previously reigned. Some of the counties em ployed from 20 to 30 physicians eacfc constantly, and they using from on< to three horses to do their riding.' In the conclusion of this articlc ne refers 10 an lnisresuug anu noia ble fact of history thus: Soon aftei the late war, 21 men from Wilkes county attended Federal court at Sal isbury and camped on the ridge be tween the large McCoy mill uond am the town. On their return home 17 oJ of them soon died of fever. Sinct the nthat pond has beeu drained, th( creek above and below straightened and thousands of acres of the verj best land put in succcssfu cultivation, which has greatlj improved the health ot thf town and surrounding country. Thes< and many other cases prove that ele vation is no guarantee against thos< poisonous vapors. Besides, the mosi obstinate and fatal cases of fever cc cur in the mountains. In this las connection we reier to me lact teat ? member of the stat? of The Observer in an article from Asheville appear ing in this paper telis that typhoid fe ver has invaded Mr. Vanderbilt'i mansion at Biltmore. The water with which it is supplied is the purest, tin piumbing and sewerage are perfect and it may be depended upon that thi drainage of the whole premises i faultless and that nowhere in the vi cinity is there lurking a cause of dis ease which any ordinary intelligent can detect.

Oanovas was said to be a cold loodttl, crucl man, who had treated narchists and others who were prisners with the most appalling'cruelty, nd for this reason the anarchists had ondernned him to death, and detailed bis man to do the work.

ArUoxm liundlta Arc Naw Employed lo Fin for on the Lnivg. ^ The old fashion of selting a train tt robber at either end of a drawing m room car, with instructions to require m the passengers to surrender their val- th uablcs under pain of instant death, has d< ouiie pone out: it too often hannened tc that an iritablo passenger drew a bead ra on the nearest bandit and shot him te wherehe atood. The custom now i3 for e? t'ae road aguit to cut oil the express ctr C trom the rest of the train, anu to rob cc it at leisure. leaving the passengers u a- el molested. If the express messenger is hi recalcitrant or slow in his movements, tr his car is blown open with dynamite, ai s.nd the robbers make a careful sejec c? tion of its contents. Even this has Z been checked in its infant struggles by a tendency on the part of express messengers - when left alive, to take quick shots at the robbers with a sawed olF rifle loaded with buck snot, as they retired with their plunder. Deplorable accidents have occurred from this reprehensible praclica. It has been observed that when a well known road agent meets an untimely death in this way his pals retire from business for a time, probably for prayer and meditation. The most famous of the Ar.'zana outlaws, Black Jack, was an epicure 4 v* Uin Insinurc- U?W^ HMTOwlu I hu 01OOQ ILL ma l/unuccu, U1IU kL-iiuiuj I uv utuuv of Jife robbed nothing but post cilices. The gaias wore small, but the risk was almost nothing, the office being e often kept by a woman, and Black = Jack was so much of a gentleman ^ that he never laid his hand upon a woman save in the way of kindness, so long as she handed out the regis terod mail promptly. He did some w little business likewise in looting the di offices in mining companies just before pay day. Tnia branch was iucra J1 tive, but there was always the risk p that the watchman might get the drop p, on the robber. P It became tne lasmon years ago ior k mining companies and other concerns ?j which handled large sums of money w in Arizona to employ the -worst of the road agents t3 act as watchman at ci high wages, Thus, one of the most *] prosperous copper companies hire at a very high salary, a fellow who is said w to have eighteen murders on his con- sc science, and yet is a most faithful and E; trustworthy guardian of the property p [under hia charge. Towns followed jt the example. Tombstone had for a tr long time in its employ as a city mar " shal one of the brothers Earp, each of whom always fired with his gun rest- jj ing on iiis arm. Experience has 8t taught them that this practice gave 4 them a start of two or three seconds ? I over the shooter who raises his gun _ I to the level of his eye, and in pothunting two or three seconds are everything. A town not far from M Tombstone had been greatly injured ? by the riotous bshavior of some of its residents, who were "bad men." It engaged, at a salary of $10,000 a year, the very worse desperado in the Territory to act as chief marshal. The day after his appointment he was 2 accosted by three noted ruilians, who drawing their guns, sneered: "So you're a goin'to run this here town, air yee?" The new marshal had his gun up his sleeve, and before toe rascals could pull trigger he fired three times and each time laid a man dead at his feet. C "Taint everything," said he, "to draw quick and shoot straight; yer must Y.ni- -uflr load whflre it will do most good. Ef yer don't, tother party may siico yer with his knife after j you've shot him." u SHOE EYELETS. On? of t'!?? Comparatively Few Tilings That Aro Sold by tho Million.
