The Sunday'* is?ue of the (treenville

from Mr. J. K. RichardHon,

f too.
He hal not read the editorial, and
while We diseuased the whole business,
I simply a*ked him to make a statement
of fads, showing my readin??M<
to deal fairly with botli sides. He wa*
ou Pari* Mountain when the "circumstance*"
took place, and certainly
knew nothi* g of my actions until informed
by me. and why should I ask
him to make any "explanation" of my
oonduct? As he has seen pro|ier to
eularge upon the re?piest made to him,
I will acquaint the puolic with the
facta:
Monday night. July 7th, at 9:30
fVnlork. Messrs. H. H. Evans and j
( O. K. Mauldin called at tuy residence,
and informed me of tbe altercation
that bad taken place earlier in the evening.
I a?ked Mr. Mauldin to make a
atatement of the fact* connected with
the affair, but he said that a* he wa?
not an eye-witness Mr. Kvans could
better give me theoelailx, and hii??tatement
was substantially incorporated iu
the dispatch sent that night to The
Btate. The special wss written immediately
after these geutlemeu left the
bouse, aud Iweut to tbe telegraph -office
at 10 o'clock, when the manager
informed me that the office would uoi
close until 11 o'clock. Thereupon 1
* wrote auotber special to The Slate
concerning the death of Col. Ferry,
and held back the one describing the
fracas at the News office. I went out
on Main street, which was practically
Huartwl ami found nlllv two DerXMltt
who could give me any information,
one of theui confirming from hearsu>
what had been written. The other wa?
a boy who saw the difficulty, and wiil>
a sii.gle exception, be agreed with
Evans' account of the affair. I then
filed tbe special at the telegraph office
and returned to my home at 10:45 p. m.
Tbe special (tent to Tbe S.ate did no;
purport to be "a true and complete account,"
as not a word is Mild on tbu'
line; Mr. Richardson did not use tb?phrase,
' palpable misrepresentation*,*'
but said that the accouut did a great
Injustice to the edior of the >ews
which is a very differeut way of expressing
himself; Mr. liichardsou din
not tell me "he thought it a as a very
remarkable piece of journalism" thai
j should ' have fathered the untrue
Mlatemeut of Evmis without auy effort
to get at the fact* of the other side."
This way of putting it is altogether an
afterthought on the part of Mr. Richardson,
aud the proof of it is that lie
kuo?* such language would have failed
to secure compliance with the requeM
he bad come to make, to draw it a
mildly as poa ible. 1 would not have
'cheerfully ac*|ule?K5ed" in a proposition
couched in such otl'eoHive lauguag*froui
Mr. liicb&rdnon or any one el?e.
and to Hay the lea-u of it tbe interview
would have ended then and there.
Mr. Kicnardwm did meet tut* ut 1:4.'*
o'clock on Tuesday, and he did nay th?
he thought my acoouut in The Siaie
wan unfair aud unjust to the editor or
the New*, to which 1 responded verj
readily that any Ntatemem he wbbeo
o make iu reward lo tbe matter would
he priuted in Tbe Mountaineer aud neni
at ouce to Tbe Statei if he would furnish
me with copies by 4 o'clock ; tbat
my pa|>er went to 'prim ai *> o'cloc-,
aud it would be uecexsary to have lh*
manuscrlpt an hour beiore. He furnished
me with ow copy a few miiiutsa
before 6 o'clock, and I mailed that
oopy to Tbe State, an The Mouutaiueer
had already gone to pre?H, aud I wired
TKa State to send tbat niuht to the
post office for it, which ww done ami
the statements appeared the next morning.
Mr. Ricbardaon baa aitice told
tue that hia statement was ready at .'i
o'clock, aud if he had scut it at thai
time it would have appeared that afternoon
along with the other accouut of
tbe scrim wage.
The "cin:m?tauce?" have l?eeii given
already in detail, and tbe public can
Judge whether or not proper effort wax
made to verify the account that wa*
aeut off that night. Mr. Richardson
ay* tbat I could eaaily have rung up
tbe News office over the telephoue and
obtained the other story of the occurrence,
but he forgets lhal the News
office waa "doing nothing" on that
line Monday night, aud that not a
word appeared the uext morning about
Lite "occurrence'' iu the News or three
other daily newspapets whose "accredited
corresjaindent" ia an attache of
tbe News He likewise faila to atate
tbat, on last Friday morning, wlivn bsuggested
this very thing to me, I asked
him to whom application mi^ht
have been made, as 1 knew that he
was on Paria Mountain and I had hear.i
tb it the editor wan dibbled, and he
made no reply. I repeated the question
and received no satisfaction whatever
from him.
Mr. Richardson seems to be dissatisfied
with tbe fact that I did not enitor.-e
the Mateinents he gave me, hut
went them to Tbe Sate as "a sort ol
aftermath." He lias a very short and
imperfect memory, as one of these
sateiueuts said it was "corroborated by
several witnesses," but I did not know
them aud never heard their stories aud
why should I endorse them ? Keside*,
the statements were bent out a* emanating
from the hu*ines? manager and
the editor of the Daily New*, and thin
would Hceiii suftU-ient in any event.
Mr. Richardson known very well the
r?asouwhy the sUtemeuts furnished
by hi in did uot apjtear in the Mouulaiueer,
because I went to hitn oil Kridav
morning and called his attention
lo the fal*e hiid venomous language
ti??d in the editorial columns on that
day, which could not be regarded oliierwise
titan a* intended tor nie, and
which I supposed would not meet with
hia approval. ! would have carried
out my original purp? ?e t? print theii
veraion of the affair in the Mountain'
etr, but when this nuati and craven at'
tack wan made ill the New* it wa?
hardly to be expected even by .Mr.
Kichard-on that anything emanating
from the editor of the News could find
place in thic newspaper.
I a n entirely willing for the publi<
to judge as to who ban been courteoui
and reliable in this affair, and as to tin
general nurport of the account give!
by me, 1 have the aasurance of reapou

Senator Tillman has a*ked the pul?licatton
of the following announcement
of interest to young men of South

The recent naval appropriation hill
authorized the appointment of two
midshipmen at larg", for each State ;
to he selected hy its two senators.
The navy department, hy ai rangemen
t witli the civil herviee eommii*aion,
will have examined youug men,
designated by Senators, on the 11th of
August at either(ireeuville, Columbia,
or Charleston. This saves the expense

The examination papers are prepared j
by the academic board at Annapolis, |
mo there will be no examination on entrance
to tiie academy except a physical
one.
In order to make sure that there
shall be yo vacancy, each Senator in
authorized to designate six young meu,
one as principal aud the others* as first,
second, third, fourth and fifth alternate*.
If the principal fails the others
take his place by aucce^sion, in their
order. lu order to aflbrd an opportunity
for the best talent in our State to
win the priz^, I have decided to have a
competitive examination held in the
State House at Columbia on Monday,
July 'JS, beginning at9 o'clock a. ill.,
to select a principal aud five alternates.
These selected will appear before the
examiners of tiie civil service commissioners
on the lltli of August, after
having been nominated by me to the

milted to enter the examination who
in not physically sound, an it would
only cause a waj?te of time. No student
who has been expelled from college
uud none but bona tide white resident*
of I he State need apply.
All applicant* for examination will
report promptly to the board of examiners
to be appointed hereafter and announced
through the paper* at the
hour and place designated. The board
will prepare the examination papers
and hand them out that day.
The hcope of the examination in a* j
follow*: Heading, writing, spelling, |
arithmetic, geography, English grammar,
LT. S. history, world's h's'ory,j
algebra through quadratic equations, I
and plane geometry (live books of j
t.'hnuveiiet's (ieometry, or an equivalent.)
Ttie age limits are from 1"> to 9>
years.
For the information of candidates
the following is quoted from the regulatioiis:
"A bound body and constitution,
suitable preparation, good natural capacity,
an aptitude tor study, industrious
habits, perseverance, an obedient
and orderly dis|tosition, and a correct
mors! deportment, are such essential
qualification* that candidates kuowing!
<Ueir iiencieucus in any in iuw ir j?ecis
should not, as inuny do, subject
themselves and ibeir friend?* to the
chances of future mnrtitlc >lion and
disappointment by accepting ttppolntmenu
ut the naval Mcaderuy and eneiing
on a career which they cannot
successfully pursue."
Ibis examination will beat my personal
exjjense, and the six hiifhes'. candidates
will then be examined before
he examiuent of the civil service cornmissioners.
The examiualiou will be absolutely
in the hands of the exnmiuer* 1 se ect,
but previous good conduct at school,
character aud Kood habits will no
doubt have weight with them in making
their selection, as well as common
sense aud manliness. Mental ability
is not the only teat to be applied.
The names" of the six liighent competitors
will be sent by ni" to the navy
department immediately after the examination,
not later tban tbe first of
August, and that department will issue
|>ermit? to appear befcre the examiners
??f the civil service commission on
the 11th of August, at one of the three
cities herein before specified. All the
paper* will lie forwarded to Annapolis
by the civil service commission examiners
and the highest successful competitor
will receive the appointment
to enter the naval academy at the beginning
of the next sessiou. In the
event the midshipman thus appointed
full* on physical examination or at the
11 r>t annual examination, I will give
the place to tbe next highest competitor
on the list.

Mb. Ciiaikman, Ladies axd Fklxow Citizens :
NVeari* here today order of the Executive Committee of the
Democratic party tr jit lo you aud the people of the Third (,'ouk
regional Oiftrii-t our viewx 011 the leading question* of the day, oo
tliat you may t>e aide to determine by your ballot at the approaching
nrimarv flection, whom you wish to represent you in the Lower
House of Congress. I, therefore, appear before you today, not at* a
trained public speaker, but dimply as a farmer. One who has al- *
ways taken an active iu"?re*t in the affairs of our State and the
National Government, especially the reform movement, ba*>ed upon
Democratic principlea and looking to the general good of our .State
mid common country. When a boy of sixteen I east my fortunes j
with those who carry the burdens of our government. That class j
i?f people who till the soil and make their bread and butter hy the t
iweat of their brow ; I mean (he farmef. It is as a farmer that I t
<hall speak to you and with my experience ou the farm and in busl- h
ness matters generally, I think I know their needs and can Intelli- r
gently represent them and their interests iu Congress. I
This is a great country of ours. Great in agriculture, commerce f
?nd manufactures. Its history as a Republic is one of which every c
American citizen may well be proud. Like a magnificent and giant t
>ak of the forest it has spread its boughs from the Atlantic ocean ou
the east to the Pacific ou the west, from the Lakes on the north to t
the Gulf on the south. And yea. more, it has extended its roots [
into the very islands of the *eas.
Mince the adoptiou of our national constitution a century and a i
? ??? 1 " iw ? iiHtion from the infant reDublic of fc
IUUI 1CI O^U, WW M??V - ?? ? ? m
hirteen origiual State* to one of forty-live States. From a popula- i
ion of four tnillioun (3,929,827 in the year I7!M>) to tliat of tteveuty- j
tlx millions of people. We have lived through four ware, and we t
Hand today umong the nation* of the world the greatest nation on
iarth. f
Each of theae con I] iota have brought the American people to face <j
jrave and re?pom?ible question*. Hut the result of the tipanigh- f
\uierican war haa brought um an issue more important and far- c
-eaching thau any that has demanded golution nince the formation
if the government. Them; vital question* concern the |>olitical and (
nriuHtrial liberties of the |>eople. f
I'ptnr to ilie war with Suain the foreign policy of the United
States was in line with the principles set forth by the founders of
ur Government, aud the Constitution was found sufficiently broad
md comprehensive to meet all the requirements of our wonderful j
levelopment.
We have come into possession of foreign territory as a result of ,
his war aud the ijuestiou before Congress and the American people j
s, bow shall it be governed. The Itepublicau party has anewered n
hat i|Uestioti so far us they are concerned by the measures already *
>a*sed by Congress. The answer that they give { ?, that the foreign
erritory of the United btates shall be governed as independent j
'olonies, whether uuder the power of the cons>itution or not (
fhey have provided a form of government for their foreign terriory
which is a colonial system. [
The people art "rade subjects, being taxed without representation r
md they are inaorto pay duties ou their goods before being allow- t
..i i??..nr.uiiitntii? I'tilled State*. This is the contention of the u
Itepublican party and it shows their utter disregard for the Constb T
ution of the United States.
It never dared to uliow its disregard of the Constitution fo far
is our foreign relations were concerned until the American people
iad been wrought up Jo a (mint of unendurable anger over the
:rueltie? of the Spanish government to the Cubans, and then i?eame
engaged in a war in the name of humanity. Then it was the v
tepublican party, in no desire to carry out the wishes or the people /
>eguu its policy of imperialism which resulted iu the acquisition of t
breigu territory by the United States and the governing of the ter- <
itory outside of I lie Constitution and by direct legislation by Con- .
jreas. .
The Democratic party eon tends that the foreign territory of the
,'nited States became a part of the United States under the terms [
?f the peace Irettty with this country and Spain ; that the provisons
of the Coiistitutiou extended over that territory and that it 1
iiould be governed i>y its terms. That the inhabitants of the I'hil*
?-* ? ..II in nur war villi M rutin
ppllie ISlanUH, WOOII1 W? unci an ?IMC^ - , ,
ihould be considered citizen* of the Cnited State* and entitled to
h<* protection him! right Hint alt other citizens are, or that they
hould be allowed to mm up a uovernmsnt of their owu, just ax Cuba
ia<? done, and that they should realize that for which they fought,
heir indejHMidence. Those |?eople should at lea-t t?e iiiven the op[>ortunity
ot governing themselves. They have shown confidence
u their ieaWers in tlie past, and they have also shown their reifaro
Tor law and order. They area ChristiM) |)eople, though it nuty be
>f a primitive kind of Christianity, yet they are taught of tiie
Savior, of His suflerings and His teachings, and of such a Chrisianity
you will llud In every country in the rural district*. Their
iands should not l>e taken from them, they idiould not he robbed
md then buried in debt. The strong arm of the United States
diould protect them from all the wronps that we of the South slitre
red from the Reconstruction period, and the rule of the Carpel
I larger.
Let in endeavor by our ellbrts to prevent their homes and lands
Lieing made wet with their tears and red with their blood. Our
r..r ..nutiirv fur lit>ertv. and indeiiendeiice not alone for our- ,
? . .
selves, but for all struggling people, should cause us to grant those
|>eople the right to elect their owu oftlcers, to enact their own laws,
to struggle under their owu Hug, aud after the United State* .shall
liave restored order, in these island*, and they hIiow that they are
capable of Helf-goveriiiueut, they Hhould be allowed to work out
Lheir own destinies.
Isthmian Canal.
The question of an iHthmiau Canal has long been one of the imIKirtaut
questions liefore Congress. The commerce of our country
[JemandH a connection of the Atlantic and I'acitlc oceans. That demand
has been ho pronounced on the part of the people of the enLire
country, that lioth of the great political parties in their national
inventions have not dareu to ignore it, and they have earnestly
ilemauded that Congress commence this great national and international
work by their respective national conventions. With the!**
iu..iiDU<if water coniie(rie?l. no section of ourcouutry would
be more tieuelitted than our beloved (Southland.
The production of coal in the various countries of the world in
becoming more and more every day on? of the moat powerful factors
in the woild'acommerce. Thirty-live yean ago Great Britain
produced IIfly |>er cent, of the world's coal supply, and the United
States but a little over fourteen atuJ thirty-tive hundredths, while
two yean* ago Great Britain produced but thirty perceut., while ihe
lTliited Stales produced thirty-two |*>r cent. of the total. With
uual an one of the leaning factors in the world's commerce, with the
iMiUNlructiou of the I?thmiaii Canal, cannot it lie easily seen what
ureal uud speedy development will come to our coal fields in north
Georgia, Alabama and Tennessee. The coal that is now being
shipped from Kuglatid to the Pacific coast, to the Philippines,
Hawaii and into China will then be taken from the coal fields of
the South.
The construction of the great water way will open up a new route
and greatly facilitate the commerce of the South in every way.
Our Southern |s>rts will hustle with new life and the increase in
the exports of our manufactured goods to the Orient will be the
marvel of the age. 1 have made an investigation with a view of
ascertaining from what source the I'hiIippiue Islands obtain their
manufactured goods. I have examined with great care the importations
of cotton and cotton goods to tlie Philippine Islands, both
1 ..f.w.i.,r^.i f?r ilia rut'lve months endiut;
IllltllU Ittl't UI I'll uim
June. 1!H?1. I timl that the total importations to those Islands
amounted to nine million, live hundred ami ten thousand, three
hundred and seven dollars. Of this amount the Cnited State* furnished
the Miiall amount of one hundred ami t wenfy-seven thousami,
three hundred ami twenty-live dollars. These iigures are sur- 1
prisintr, hut true. Those Island* im|iortcd nine million, three hundred
and eighty-two tliou-aml, nine hundred ami eighty-two
dollars worth of cotton goods from other countries than tliei
(jnited States. Does it not stand to reason that when our
commerce with those Islands is firmly established, as it surely J
will l?e at an early date, that the South will furnish the greater p >r- j
tion of this nine million ami a ?|uarter's worth of cotton ? Heticej
the great imiNirtance to the South for the construction of an interoceMliic
canal that will ex|>edite theirever-increasiiiK commerce that j
must find its way to China and those Islands in the eastern seas.
Tai-ill" ami Trusts.
i
No less important to the liberties of the |?eople is the Democratic
uilirv of the ( overnmcnt. Under Kepuhlk-aii rule the people have
had iuipmed u|niii them taxation iu the way of tariffs upon t'verj
article which lliey re?juiri- to" meet their nwli*. The Democratic
doctrine in, that land's should tie levied fur revenue only, and
should, as for as jmssihle, he laid on the luxuries and liot nil the ue H-hitieH
of life. I 'lit under Kepuhlieali rule everything is made to
contribute to the greed of millionaire* w ho control the party.
Com | iet it ion lias been hindered ny the high land's with the result
that the |>eo|ile have to huy Ht a price fix?*?l by the uianufacturers
without regard to ?|iiality or value. Milliors have been taken I
from the pocket* of the people hy force of these ini<piitou?
laws, and Ihe money found its way into the hi mis of *poj|siuen of
the Itepuhlicau party. The full eHeet of such legislation is found in
(lie dangerous growth and monopolies in this country, which threaten
the freedom of the |ieople. Kvery article of voiiHUmptiou is eontrolled
either directly or indirectly, hy a trust. The |?eople have
no voice, uud unless measures are taken to rcntraiu this growing
?
menace to the safety of our industrial lit>erty, they will lie slaves to
lill practical purposes. Congress should deui with thin ijuestionjin a
l?old and courageous manner. There should tx> 110 intention to destroy
legit iiiiate organization of capital, but iuouo|M?liea should he
prevented. Laws should be (uin-ed putting all articles, sought lo t>e
controlled by monopoly, on the free list, and all powers of Congress
i>ver interstate commerce should be exercised to control the trusts
rnd prevent monopolies. The States should require that all corporations
should show that there was no water in their Mock before
granting them charters. Now that aggregations of wealth have become
ho many and powerful, it is difficult to deal with them in the
'iirht wav. and it is for the neoule to rise up and protect themselves
>y sending inenjto Congress who have positive convictions on these
lubject* and who will he pledged to work to that end.
Ship Subsidy.
The greatest trust of the future will be the transportation trust.
Mready the great railroads ofthe country have combined In coounction
with the Iraus-Allauiicsteamshipti. All but 70,000 miles of
he railroads ihut we have and all the steamship companies are in
he combine. The result of ?-ucb a combination will be to put the
hackles on the industries of the country by arbitrarily fixing the
ates of freight and the markets to which products shall go. The
onuewt route* will be forced upon uh, and the highest rates of
reight. The *hip subsidy bill represent* an effort ou the part cf the
ombinatiou to lake from the people millions of dollars annually to
lid them iu thin unlawful and outrageous purpose.
There is no reason why a subsidy should be paid to ships any more
han to farming, ribip* can be built in the United States at greater
troflt than cotton can be produced ten times over, and yet the Re>ublie?*n
paity propose* to tax the farmers to aid an industry which
h controlled by four companies to the exteut of million* of dollars,
iucli legislation 1* in Hue with all the tendencie* of the Republican
Administration. We are on the verge of a plutocracy that will
>rove more tyrannical and disastrous to the liberties of the people
ban all the monarch* and kirgs.
Why should we longer bear the burdens fur the enrichment of tbe
ew? Tbe lime has come when tbe people must awaken to their
langer or (hey will see their birthrights taken from them, and will
eel the yoke of the oppressor upon their necks, and their only rewmpence
will be to labor for another, to make brick without straw.
I am unalterably opposed to such legislation, and If elected to
Ingres by jour suffrages, I will bend every efl'ort lo relieve the
teople of ihe country of the class legislatiou and special favor.

The aystein of rural free delivery of the mail* has come to stay,
t in a strange thing that (he Republican party should be willing to
illow us the blessings or tliat nervice. I am in hearty sympathy
with the exteiinion of the service an rapidly as possible, until every
iome in our land will have the mail broght to itH doors every day.

troductw, and lo uh this rural delivery i* a boon which must not be
aken away. The citie* and larger towns have two or three delivers

I am in favor of liberal appropriations for tbe extension of the
ervice and, iu tills connection, I will say that I believe in securing
very tiling possible for our people here at home; a liberal supply of
eeds and literature for the farmers. .
Why should they not have them ? They are taxed just the same
vhether they get them or uot, and I am for a distribution of the
avors. Through the Department of Agriculture, great good cau
e done the agricultural classes of the country if one who is Tamilar
with your needs is sent to represent you. We are largely an agicultural
