United States senate to succeed Johs j
L. McLaurin is ex-^overnor John Garj {
Evans. In a residence of several yeara
he has establiahed himself in the e?
teem and good will of the people of thii
county to such an extent that he Is ro- j
garded with no less affection and Inter- '
est that would be ths case were he s
native born Spartan. His popularitv
extends to all clssses. Some of hJ
closest political and personal frienu*
are to be found among those who were
formerly his strongest opponents.
To know Governor Evans has been
to appreciate his fine qualities, bit
Stirling honesty and his eminent qual
Mentions as a statesman and citlxea.
He carried this county by large major
ities (or governor and senator, and h?
will carry It this year by a much larger
majority than ever; indeed. It might
almost be said that be will receive th?
unanimous democratic vote of tb? (
county, so great is the local Interest o
ms candidacy, nis personal popular i
ttr extending from Spartanburg County I
as a bssis, is radiated ail over th?
Piedmont section of the state and Is
every profession, trade and calling
Governor Evans is looked upon as '
splendid type of a South Carolinian.
His Strength la With All Classes.
His friendship and aid have ever
been extended to the large agricultural
Interests of the slate, and ouf
large and growing Industrial popular
tlon has come to regard him as s <
staunch tad sincere friend. At th? |
same time Governor Evans has neve*
been retarded aa hostile to capital
and corporationa In any sense, and
has many friends and supporters
among those who have large investmeats
in cotton and other manufactur
ins industries. While there can hard tj
oe said to be any logic in politics,
Governor Evans is nevertheless the
logical candidate to succeed McLaurin,
by reaaon of the vigorous and wonderfully
prophetic flght he made on
the commercial statesman live years
ago. He then aald McLaurin waa a
republican, aad that gentleman has ,
himself since proven the charge he- <
yond a doubt Governor Evans wai I
not the only prophet in that line, bow- 1
ever, but he was the only msn who 1
made a light on McLaurin then who U '
now a candidate before the people a*
his successor. He evidently knows
a republican when he sees oue. ano <
this is some assurance, if any wer? I
needed, that his own democracy Is 1
straight
Has Been Faithful to Every Trust I
Governor Evans' equipment aoJ j
qualifications for the senatorshlp are |
undoubted, and his services to the peo- ,
pie of the stats certainly give him ?
claim upon their earnest consideration
of his candidacy. He has ever been
isiimui lo m? mm repuscu iu uiiu oj
the democrats of South Carolina, and
retains to the utmost the respect and
confidence of those who know him. i
The very fact that he has held the
support of those who were his politics)
associates in times when there wen 1
sharp lines drawn between the factional
affiliations of oar people and has
since the effacement or tftose Unci
drawn to himself the good will and
friendship of those who formerly op
posed him. shows him to be a man
who is steadfast in character and emi'
nent in ability. He is strongest where i
he la best known, snd is backed by
the support of the thickly populated 1
Piedmont counties and he is sure to
be a formidable factor in the race.
Tillman Handa Off.
In view of numerous reports about
this man and that man being "Tillman's
candidate" for the senate, a
statement made by Senator Tillman In
Washington recently may prove of interest
to those watching South Carolina
politics.
"Thertf is really no reason why I
should mix np in this race," said Senator
Tillman, "nor do I Intend to take
the slightest part in It one way or the
other. It la true that before Evans
entered the race there was but one
candidate in the field. Representative
Latimer, who had not at one time op
posed me. For this reason, thinking
? hurt RflnrMcntttln Latimar'a
chances for election, the report his'
been circulated that I was backing |
Latimer. It la untrue to say that I
am backing any one of the candidates.
Now that Mr. Evans has definitely announced
his candidacy for the senate,
there will be two of my former sapporters
In the race. Another reason 1
why I am not called upon to take s i
hand.
"But it should be remembered Uxa: |
none of the candidates in the race are

Ihejr are after the junior senatorship,!
and because in the past the other can-;
didates?Mr. Elliott. Mr. Hemphill, Mr. j
Henderson and Mr. Johnstone?bav? 1
been political opponenta of mine doas
not seem to me to furnish either an
excuse or a reason u>r mj meddling in

The fate of individual* and of

by beau'y and that sweet attractive

the fate of men, they should cultivate
their phy*i<jue and traiu their voices

From the catalogue of the Due West
Female College we take the following
paragraphs:
LOCATION.
Due West Female College is situated
in the pleasaut village of Due Weal,
Abbeville County, 8. C. The village
lias a population of about 1,(J00, aud if
libtinutively a college towu, havicg

Lablbhed here more than half a century
ago, Erekiuc College and Krakine
Ideological Seminary iu 1&49, and the
Female College iu 18iW. Consequently
*e have a community of peculiarly
tdmirable characteristics. There Ih a
high degree of intellectual culture and
tocial refinement, with none of the dislipations
and extravagauces of large
towns. The example set before stulents
in dre*s, dwelling and manners
is must helpful and wholesome. The
moral and religious toue of the community
is Dure aud high. Iq this rt?oeut
the town is without an eoual.

The College Building is large and
"paciou*.aud admirably adapted to the
purpose for which it wax erected. It i*
a large three-ttory brick, sixty-live feet
?|iiare, with two wiugH two stories
hii(h aud forty-four by thirty-two feet
ach. To this additions were made iu
I SSI aud l&i7, giving in addition to
Chapel, Dining-Room, Clam Rooms,
Society Halls, Music Ha'l, Music
Rooms, aud rooms for the President's
family, accommodations for some
eighty boarders. The majority of the
dormitories are 12 x 14 feet aud accommodate
two you iu la<lies, while a few
are 20 x 20 feet, aud may be pleasantly
occupied by four youug ladies. The
rooms have beeu recently furuislied in
oak of a neat and attractive design.
Kvery room is well ventilated aud is
penetrated by the suii-light neveral
hours a day, both wluter and Hummer.
Our aim is to provide a comfortable
and homelike apartment for the young I

WATER al'I'I'I.Y.
Our new water HUpply htm given perfect
xatixfaclion. It eome* from a tui?ular
well 82 feet deep. A two-inch g?lvauized
iron tube, with air-tight joints,
pasHes through several strata of perviouaclay
ami two or three 8truta of r<?ck,
and Klopa iu the xolid urauite. A line!
dow of tbe purest water cornea from |
thi? granite l>ed at depth of 82 feet, and !
as every drop cornea Irotu that depth,
it nnul lui fruu from nil MiirfMiv immiri- 1
itim. It may almost be called artesian,'
as it rises to within tteveii feet of thel
surface. The water heretofore Used!
came from wells not over feet deep.
That was considered good. This is
surely above reproach. The health of
the boarders the past year lias been remarkably
good.

Stringed instruments are becoming
more popular ea<*h day. While one
cannot always afford a piano, a mandolin,
violin or guitar is in the reach of 11
all. The convenience of these in-tru- I
menU makes them doubly |s>pular, as t
they are easily carried *ith you. v
The violin for Young ludies, uud the n
mandolin as a nolo instrument, are rapidly
gaining popularity. 5

The Coil**ge. while non-sectarian, in
positively Christian. The moral and
ipiritual culture of the girls is our
'ondest desire and highest aim. In

principal thing is* lacking. By daily
worship in the cliapel, the teaching of
he Bible hs a text bm?k, Sabbath
ichool exercises on the Sabbath, and
ittendance oh public worship in the
hurch of their choice, and special reigious
services among the pupils? by
ill these and other means we hope to
ead the young ladies to kuow and to

our cotton mill men cannot provide f>r their
own houaehold without having men aent to
the legntlainre to compel them to do ao I hope
that (ior: will have mercy on them.
I cannot believe that our cotton mill men
are In favor of auch a law. It would be an
Inault to their intelligence to aay that thay
r e mini to control tbelr own ruin III?-?.
I think thai the good women at all the factory
town* 10 Ibfl mate will ri*e ngha?t at
hucIi a law ax they gather their children
around their knee* at night before they r?Mro
und offer up their humble petition* lo God.
that their voire* will be heard lamenting mid
weeping for tbelr children aa Kacbel did, und
they will not be comforted.
Are IIicm; m?-n who operate in the cotton
mill true and patriotic *on* of Moutb Carolina?
Are they not mm* of fathera who bought
freedom with I heir own blood where Concord
and f^exlngton were the battle-field*?
Will not the blood faat turn back In the
vein* agalnot nuch a law and agalnat every
Irglalature that attempU to take that liberty
away from them? If it la neceaaary to better
the condition of the mill men to lake the
eoat from tbelr back*, they will face the cold
of winter In tbelr thirl aleeve*. They will
not complain If yoa t**r the *hoo* from their
teet.they will at III go to their duly in their bar*
feel lint whenever you tnakea law and try lo
enforce It on k.lm to take from him hi* own
tlherty and hlaown rlgbu and deprive him
nfibtt right to control hla own family then
you will make It h wet day for Moutb Carolina,
mid wheu tbut day conic* tbe ootton mill
men will Murely Indorae tbe word* of Patrtn
Henry,"Give me liberty or give me death."

A Card From Mr. Rlrhitnlnon.
Grfenvllle Newa.
At the request oI Col. Jaiue* A. Hoyt 1
cheerfully publish the following explanation
of the clrruroaiancea surrounding the dl?patch
which beaenl out from Greenville on
Monday night, concerning the aasault made
np?>n the editor ofTba Greenville Newa:
On Turodiy morning X read tbe account In
The Slate which Col. Hoyt Kent purporting to
embody a true and complete account of tbe
traoaactlon between Evans and tbe editor o<
The Newa on Monday night.
I went to Col. Hoyt on 'lue*day after reading
hla account In The State, and told hlin
that be bad done tbe editor of Tbe Greenville
Newa a Rreat Injustice by pobllablng a
atory ao full or palpable misrepresentation*,
and ao calculated to bolater up ttie aide of tbe
valiant.
Col. H<vt replied that be had ?ent bin dlapatch
to TbeHtate upon Information received
*oiHy from fcvana blmaelf and tiU frleod.
He told me that be bad wlabrd to obialn
information concerning tbe otber Hide of the
tory, but that the boar waa too late: conaequeutly
be aent tbe Kvana report of tbe
aflafr.
I Mid to Col. Hoyt tbat I thought It a very
remarkable piece or Jooroalltm, tbat be
bouid have lathered tbe untrue atatement of
Kvana aud hla friend without making any
effort to get tbe facta of the other aide, and I
bought It only fair tbat he abould aend to
The Htate a true statement of tbe transaction.
Col. Hoyt cheerfully acqulraced In aendlng
10 Tbe Htate any atatement on the other aide.
Accordingly I had tbe aiatementa of myaelf
and Mr. Blarkman mude out and banded
i bem to btm at als o'clock Tneaday afternoon.
It will be ?een by tbe above that Col. Hoyt
at-ol hi* report a? The state'* accredited correapondent
on Information furnlabed aolrly
hy Kvana and hi* frlenda, and tbat be uiade
ahaolutdy no eflort to obtain further Information
looking to the verification of Rvan'a
KiatrmonU, owing, ao be aaya, to tbe lateueaa
of the- hour.
It l? true ?hn? the nut Kstie of The *tate
publl?li?d an'*lpt.e *11 xrrnro Mr. B'ackman
and one from myself. These ulairmrniii
werea?<m by Col. Hoyt to The State, not n
representing facta?which wan the supposed
nature of hi*, drat rommun lent Ion?bill slmply
?? a sort of aftermath, for which he did
not M>nmr responsibility. In other wotd* he 1
aeut the flrnt Mtory aa facta on bla own responsibility.
th-* subsequent evidence which was
given him (and which he did not Keek) ami
which he knew waa reliable and corroborated
by eve-wltncwes. he aont to The .State, not '
over III* own signature; not accepting It a*
controversl ve of hla Aral communication, but
Nimplr a* Interesting addenda.
tin the evening or receiving hla llrat Information
of the affair. Col. Hoyt could easily
have rung up The News olllcw over the tele- \
phone and obtained the other and proven
?tnry of the occurrence; and ? la Interfiling
in a>k the question here: Would not thm 1
have been 'lie right and fair and only proper
way of fulfilling theduMeaof an accredited cor <
re?nonilent of a reputable newspaper?
Yet. In spite of tnia Information having 1
Heen given Col Hoyt on Tuesday afternoon,
he printed in bla own paper on Wedneaday 1
morning su?"?tantla lv the aame account of
'be aff*|r as lie had flrat aent to The Slate.
Kven If he hud not ben given thl* uiforma
