THURSDAY, JULY 7,1892. THOS. J. ADAMS, ...... EDITOR FOB ATTORNEY GENERAL. Should Attorney General Mc Laurin be made a circuit judge, as has been suggested, Edgefleld has a son she would be proud to present to the State for the vacated office in the person of Col. W.H. Folk. Able, astute, conscientious, Col. Folk, would make a magnificent State's attorney ; he would always fill the b?l. EDGEFIELD'S SHEETING. Edgefield's campaign meeting takes place on Thursday of this week. The following gentlemen have been selected as the commit tee of reception and will see to the distribution and domiciling of the candidates upon their arrival at the depot: Maj. E. Gary, W. A. Strom, J. D. Holstein, Col. W. H. Folk, 0. Sheppard, Esq., and A. J. Norris, Esq. H PEACE. Let everybody go to the meeting to-morrow with the determination to have a quiet and orderly day of it. the vaporings of Youmans to the contrary notwithstanding. With the single exception of You mans there need be no apprehen sion, and he is a small potato-let him fire away. Make the odium of intemperate utterances and acts to rest on tne side of the Mantis." We've got the votes ; what more is desired? THE DAY WAS BEN'S. A telegram from Columbia re-1 ceived just as we go to press, re ferring to the campaign meeting in that city on Monday of this week, says : "Tillman gathered in the sheaves; he had the crowdl with him.'' This is too good to be true. That Columbia has succumbed to Till manism and swallowed Tillman, "free pass," asylum cows, "not a d-d bit," and all rs as hard to be lieve as that the devil had taken I .to holy water as a daily beverage. SUCH IS A SAMPLE. The Greenville News of "June 30 says that "an Abbeville man said yesterday that a man from Pickens county told him that in that county he can count the conserva tive voters by tens now where one .w hard - to find two years aw;" ??iriEe r^pTsumsupas"^ lows: "Such is a sample of the encouraging news brought in every ?day.* This reminds us of the drmmt >r for a wholesale liquor house who carried around a valise full of sample liquors to exhibit to cus tomers. On one occasion being overcome by the instigations of the evil one, the drummer got on a "tare" and drank up all the sam ples. Upon recovering from his debauch he wrote to his house to "send him more samples, they are good as far as they go, but they don't go far enough." So with the "samples" of the Greenville News, there are not enough of em to amount to a row of pins. There aren't enough joy in 'em to make one "tare." TILLMAN WILL BE HEBE. The report having been circu lated that Gov. Tillman would not be at tho campaign meeting to be held? at Edgefield on Thursday, July 7th, Maj. Ernest Gary wrote to Gov. Tillman in the matter, and received a letter in response which settles the question, not only of the Governor's attendance at Edgefield, but at every other campaign meet ing in the State. The report that Tillman would not be here was evidently the work of the evil one, and manufactured and circulated in the interest of the "antis." The following is the letter to which we referred : STATE OF SOUTH CAROLINA, EXECUTIVE CHAMBER. COLUMBIA, S. C., July 1, '92. MAJ. GABY : Replying to your letter of yester day, you can say that Gov. Tillman will be at the Edgefield meeting, and at every other meeting called by the State Executive Committee, unless he is providentially pre vented from attending. He never had an idea.of not going to Edge field if they had a meeting. D. H. TOMPKINS, Private Sec'y. A Connecticut man has invented I a bicycle for riding on a fence. Read our account of the Flor ence meeting, and see who did the "flunking" on that occasion. The people in his own county call Youmans June BLg Ye .ans, because the least little thing always sets Him to zooning about the way he "fit" in the war. The "peace and unity" candi dates are belying their professions, and trying their best to develop a bull-dozing strategy and tactics, by pushing Youmaus to the front. THE DAY AT FLORENCE. THE SCENE OF A MOST TUR BULENT MEETING. Transparencies and Banners Arouse the Ire of Tillman!tes and Bloodshed Narrowly Averted. FLORENCE, S. C., Jnne 30. The meeting today was ono of [turbulence from beginning to end. j j A high wind prevailed though out ' and lashed the waves, and at times j almost churned them into fury, j and though no serious conse quences resulted, as yet manifested, there were stinging words spoken, and the wind popped the ropes among the rigging like whips. The ship, as it were, never ceased tossing from the time the I meeting opened until it closed.. j There were rocks beneath, which, j though not struck. forcibly, per haps, as yet seen, were touched ? at intervals with a grating sound that brought a good degree of terror to the tried, and apprehen sion of danger to all. There were HANDS LAID CN PISTOLS. It was feared at ono time that Gov. Tillman and Col. Youmans might have a personal encounter. Banners were flaunted and defended, hoisted and pulled down. There were fights in the crowd threatening to involve the factions. Peace and unity were on their white wings far away sailing indistinctly after the precincts. It should be said, however, that all this unpleasantness is not the fault of Florence or its people, or the good countrymen who were assembled at the meeting. It is J a result of the bitter feeling which is engendered by the campaign and which seems to overwhelm the people everywhere. From the time the campaigu party arrivedat the Florence depot last night at 10 o'clock until the campaign meeting ended today at j 4 o'clock the atmosphere iu. FLORENCE WAS UNEARTHLY HOT. Gov. Sheppard and the con servative party were met at the depot by a brass bandand recieved with loud demonstrations not unmixed with resentment towards the administration, by a large body of men and youths of the town and escorted to the principal hoted of the beautiful and progressive little city. Governor Tillman and party ?were accorded a quiet reception by friends Governor Tillman went j immediately to his room after arrival at the hotel and did not reappear until this morning. A crowd of three hundred people 1 composed of Conservatives (Flor ence is by a large majority a Con servative city) assembled on the street, cheered lustily for the Conservatives, and were addressed by Col Youmans and Goverr. Sheppard. Half a dozer trans j pawnees with spirit <; jocendsj .HHSfiTesteel..??7* ' 'temp r ???'l, predilect?'-as of thc crowd. . After thu rp-- ing, :i long series of cheers for the Consolation, au ! continue?! groans for T?lra?.n, [ wore given, while i h> crow?;? stoot : al aii Lour. U was j ?let ll '?>) clock before th? . ro..ddispersed, I [and ihey wmt off singing-| .UM G BEN TILLMAN. on .?rsour apple tree." Two years ago the Governor was hooted and groaned here in a like manner. The crowds began arriving early | j this morning to attend the meet I ing and men said there would be t trouble. It always required the utmost effort that could be put I forth to carry the Florence meet ing over peaceably. At ll' o'clock the crowds, numbering about 700, assembled at the stand. They stood upon their feet in a determined way. It was plain that the hosts were al. most evenly divided, or at least thought themselves so, though it waB subsequently made evident that the Tillman faction was in the majority. The crowd pressed close to the I stand. They seemed jealous of J the ground. Pushed up out of the crowd were . the transparencies of the night before. The opposition eyed the transparencies and wishod them down. , The legends were: "Save the Credit of the State." "Sheppard and Orr," "Save the State," We Will Build the College," "Bingham for Congress," "We Will Whip Sheppard and His Orrful Flock." j "Youmans and Truth." These legends acted more to) inaflme the crowds and to keep them inflamed than every speech delivered. They were red flags! contantly flaunting and strife j stirring amongst the factions and J put practical end to patient listening by them to any of the j speeches. The first speech was made by I Lieut. Gov. Gary. Hardly had| he began before. THE FIRST EXCITEMENT. arose. The audience surged and exclaimed wildly and pointed to the wall at the back of the speakers stand. Here two men stood bearing aloft at the back of Gov. Tillman I a huge banner held taut bearing] the running figure of a man surrounded by the following j inscription in naming characters : "The great Baraboozler running away from Youman; compliment! of Timmonsville." BLOOD IN THE AIR. . The meeting was thrown into| confusion. Hundreds of voices were crying at their highest pitch "It shan't stay up there." "It shall." "Tear it down," tear it down," "pull it off," Tillman is solid." The .principal bearer, a large burly Timmon8oninn, cried, "? brought it up here, and by G-d it I shall stay." The stand was almost instantly Siled with Tillmanites and, Conservatives, the first to remove tho banner, the second to suppor it. Col. Youmans arose and said, "removejit, I "m Youmans, "remov? it, take it off the stand." . There were cries of "fight." "Lei 'em fight." The chairman, a Tillmante ex claimed, "They've been bothering us long enough. .If they wan I blood, we will give it to them. Bj G-d I AM READY TO DIE NOW," The banner was removed to the crowd and planted in front of the stand, where it stood through the meeting, a source of irritation. Everybody was mad. Men stood around tho objeotionable banner to support it and others stood around it to level it at the first opportunity, The speaking proceeded under ; difficulties. The crowd interrupted all speakers" by hot questisns or cries and 'countercries and disturbances. Lieutenant Governor Gary made a statement. A man cried "he is a lie'" Lieutenant Gary said clearly, "if anybody wants to insult me today, if he will wait until after this meeting, he can have all the chance he wants." Many voices-A good many more of us." The chairmam-"Yes." Col. Gary spoke thirty minutes. Col. Youmans was introuced. He had a difference with the county chairman about .a division of time. He had gone to Governor Tillman, who had referred him back to the chairman. Col. You mans addressiug the meeting, said he would DECLINE TO SPEA*K. He would wait until he could have a fair opportunity. He dwelt with bitterness upon the action of the County Executive Commitee iii giving the admini stration the op'ening and closing and allowintr only thirty minutes for a speech. Governor Tillman refusing to interfere, he would de cline to speak at all- He could not speak in thirty minutes, He gave his time to coleague, Col. Murphy. THE EXCITEMENT WAS HEIOATENED. by this action of Col. Youmaus. Secretary of State, Tindell, followed with a powerful speech full of wisdom of learning and kindly spirit which seemed almost to quiet the turburlent audience. W. P. Murphey, Conservative, followed and the waves ran high during the whole of his speech. He delivered heavy blows for the Conservatives. He made reference to Gen. Mart W. Gary, and the crowd went w over the name, Tillmanit*?' n aird cheering Governor Ge' - <. the echo.! Gen.

' , - i GREAT EXCITEMENT. . from the crowd. He ridiculed Timmonsvide and its standard borers. He attacked Youmans. At 2.15 Governor Tillman began to speak. There was almost immediately trouble. Governor Sheppard had been introduced in Governor Tillman's place by mistake, and received cheers, but when Governor Tillman appeared immediately thereafter, the Till man faction was seen, by the extent of the cheering, to be in the majority. Governor Tillman spoke without reserve.oHe jumped upon the peo ple of Florence and 'ABUSED (THEM TO THEIR TEETH referring to his reception there the night before by a lot of '^bullies, "when he was the guest of the town. He slung his axe, and the chips filled the air, amidst the cheers of his friends and the curses of opposition in the audience, while the Governor's face wore a LOOK OF EXTREME BITTERNESS He spoke of Gen. Earle* his opponent of two years ago, "a man more truthful and honorable than any of these." Col. Youmans sprang up. "Do you mean to say that Earle is more honorable the I am? Governoi Tillman, "I do sir." The noise from the crowd almost drowned the voices, Friends crowded together. Col. Youmans, "Then I will see you sir." Governor Tillman proceeded and said to the audience that Gen. Earle had conducted the campaign on a high and honorable plan. Col. Youmans, "Then do you mean to qualify what you said just now?" Governor Tillman wheeled quick and fiercely like a flash and as quick as lightning said, "NOT A DAMN BIT SIR." The words rang like a pistol shot. Governor Tillman stood and scowled at Col. Youmans a moment. The crowd want wild. Nobody knew what would happen the next moment. Men, friends, Antis crowded around the Governor. Tillmanites and Antis drew near Col. Youmans Col. Youmans: "well I will see you sir." Governor Tillman proceded with his speech. PISTOLS IN ABUNDANCE. If one pistol had appeared fifty would heve leaped out. The men around had them. Col. Youmaus remained stand ing. A Tillmanite,(one of a num ber who had got ten near Col You mans)-"You had just as well keep still Col..Youmans ; we've got mr eye on you." Col. Youmans threw the remark iside saying he did not purpose to lurt Governor Till maa, . Before Governor; Tillman con t eluded, trouble arose over the Timmonsvilie banner. One oJ , the three brothers Lee cursed j McBride, the bearer of the ban ner. t Something widespread and "disturbing had been apprehended from this source. McBride cried. \ "I'll,whip you"' and started to t ward Lee. One of the brothrrs ' who had a nook on the platform,. FILLED THE AIR WITH CUR SES, ' and cried to be let down, that he i would kill McBride. , He sprang into the crowd and i made for the fray. The meeting broke up. The father and anothei brother of Lee dashed forward. CHAIRS WERE SEIYED aud raised in the air. The audience moved off,following the beligerents Deafening cries filled the air. Men pulled their coats off and stamped ground in their anger and excitement. The leaders cried "keep cool, keep cool." The Timmonsvilie banner was seized and borne away- A Till manite sent his stick through the banner, tearing its face The police broke up the fight. McBride ran back, took a party and res cued his banner and bore it back and planted it upon its former place. Governor Tillman proceeded with and concluded his speech. Governor Sheppard followed, after which the meeting adjourned, not, however, before an anti had monn ted a chair and aunouueed that Col. Youmaus would spenxik from ..the balcony of the hotel within two honrB. Col. Youmans delivered this speech, which contained not hing new to the public. HUGH C. MIDDLETON. in AugustaChronicle. ? The utter hypocrisy of the peace and unity crowd is shown by the braggadocio of Youmans at all the meetings since the Kingstree meet ing. Oh he's a fighter ,'from fight ersville, Youmans is. The report which has been so ex tensively circulated that Gov. Till man would not Rpeak at the Edge field meeting on Thursday, will, we fear, keep many away ; but we hope all will come who know the fact that, the Governor will be pres 1 eut, otherwise the "antis" .\ ' again say "Sheppard is SP ground," or "extre- . ly Gen.

The Conservatives seem to-havl 1 been responsible for the row which " was started at theulivliest meeting', of the campaign--that at Florance yesterday. "Bloodshed (was) j narrowly averted" in consequence of a cartoon ridiculing Tillman which some of his enemies persis ted in elevating on the stand and ! in full view of the audience. Of \ course this was a creditable action as- viewed by the anti-Tillman , papers, and the kick made by Till man friends against it was entirely uncalled for-Charleston Sun. THO S tor If? of Lucky Miners. A few of the many stories that are ' told of miners' lnck will enable the reader to understand how and why the ; heads of whole communities may be , turned in mining regions. Jim Whit latch, the discoverer of the Whitlatch Union mine, near Helena, led a typical western miner's life. The mine in ques ' tion is now owned in England and has produced $30,000,000 in gold. After Jim i Whit latch had gold the property for $1,500,000 he went to New York "to i make as much money as Vanderbilt." ; He was a rare treat to Wall street, which fattened on him, and in one year let him go with only the clothes on his back. He returned to Montana, began "pros pecting" again and discovered a mine for which he got $250,000. He went to Chicago to rival Mr. Potter Palmer in wealth and returned just as he did from New York-"flat strapped," as he would have expressed it. He made still an other fortune and went to San Francisco, where he died a poor man. Another Lewis apd Clarke county mine-the Drum Lummon-provides an other such story. It was discovered by an Irish immigrant named Thomas Cruse. Although he owned it, he could not get a sack of flour on credit. He sold it to an English syndicate for $1,500,000. But he remains one of the wealthy men of Helena.-Julian Ralph in Harper's. A Loving Jay. Olive Thorne Miller tells of a jay that she once tamed, and that repaid her kindness with every mark of gentle re gard. The jay never squawked at her as he would at others, but whistled gen tly and cooingly. He always got as near her as possible, and did as near kissing as a bird can; that is, he laid his beak on her cheek. Cabmen'^ Examinations. Cabmen have to pass an examination in knowledge of London streets before they can obtain a license, and this is far more necessary than might be supposed, fot 691 men in the year 188? failed in the examination, and not a severe one at that, while 1,211 were passed.-London Tit-Bits._ Dinner Table Amenities. Young Van Sprawl-I believe in be ing above board in all that I do. Old De Go?te-Then I wish you would stop kicking me under the table.-Kate Field's Washington.

I am in a position to make you W. F How Opium Li Gathered. It is a sort of garden cultivation, the P?PPy plants being grown in little squares or beds intersected by tiny wa ter channels for irrigation wherever this is possible. The growth of the plants is carefully tended, and at length the time comes when they burst out into flower, and the fields look like a sheet of silver as the white petals of the flowers glisten in the morning dew. These beautiful petals are the first produce of the crop, for the women and children of the cultivators' families come forth and pick them off one by one and carefully dry them, so that they may serve afterward as the covering of the manufactured cakes of opium. Then the poppies, with. their bare capsule heads, remain standing in the open field until it is considered that they are ripe for lancing. The cultivators then come forth in the evening, and, with an implement not unlike the knivea of. a cupping instrument, they scarify the capsule on its sides with deep incisions, so that the juice may exude. In the early morning the cultivators reappear with a scraping knife and their earthenware pots, and they scrape off the exuded juice and collect it in their pots. And thia is crude opium.-Black wood's Magazine. A Tragic Kindergarten Episode. A certain kindergarten is blessed with the attendance of a very original youth named Richard.
