Whiskey Candidates. Those candidates who are making a practice of carrying whiskey to church and treating with it, had better, look out, as by so doing they make three enemies to.one friend. It is both poor morals and poor policy. Competitive Examination.

Washington Township. We commend to our readers the reso lutions of Washington township ? Democratic Club published in this issue. Every club ianthe county should pass j ust such resolutions, so as to give the lie tb those who have charged that there was, or is, any Third party ism in old Edgefield. Remarkable Potatoes. Mr. T. G. Lanham has presented.us with some Irish potatoes that show a remarkable growth. Owing to the long wet spell they have sprouted and taken a second growth, making smaller pota toes in a cluster all around the mother potato. This is certainly one year when the husbandman, cannot com plain of a failure in the garden truck. Meriwether and Hibler. The Edgefield county "antis" had, in the beginning of this campaign, ' a fighting chance in only two townships out of the whole number of townships in the county-those two townships were Meriwether and Hibler, the first named ?the birth-place and home of Tillman, and the second the birth-place and home of Sheppard. We are able to announce that these two townships wrllboth go for Tillman beyond any doubt The Day at Sand Ridge. At a meeting of Alliancemen at Sand Ridge, on Saturday, th? 9th inst., notable speeches were made by. Fresly Ouzts, Dr. Price Ti m merman, Maj. J. W. Aiton, and JJ H. Edwards, Esq., the last named, a candidate for the Legislature. Mr. Edwards's speech was so well received as to have cap . tured even the few "antis" that live in that vicinity. It was temperate, thoughtful, and well delivered. The Clarion Tongued Watson. Col. R. B. Watson, the silver-tongued orator of all Edgefield, adheres stead fastly to his original declaration not to run for any o Alee, notwithstanding the pleadings of his friends, and their name is legion. However, his voice will not be silent, bnt will be heard ever and anon during the progress ol the campaign, and always for Tillman and Reform. Col. Watson's presence would grace any deliberative body and very many hope that he will yet con? senflPberve his district in the National balls, and at no distant day. A New Trick. The latest trick of the "antis" to wu Totes in Edgefield county, is to circa? late the reports that Mr. So and So Col. w. Maj. B., etc., all ardent Till manites, have abandoned the Tillman camp and are converts to Sheppardism These tales are told to Tillmanites ir order to indnce them to do likewise But if you trace these reports up, yoi will find there is not a word of trutl in them, ard that on the contrary Mr So and So, Col. W, and Maj. B. st il muster in the Tillman ranks and ex peet to do so until the c-o-w-i c-o-m-e h-o-m-e. Another Dibble Scheme. Another scheme of the "antis" t< change votes is this : Every anti is in ?tructed to select four Tillmanites, bi; friends, and work on ftTem in ever: way he can to change them to Shep pard. This is what is known as tb "Dibble still-hunt." It is an old racke among Repubobllcans and in Repub Hean States, but is an entirely nev thing in this State where the peopl are supposed tobe enlightened fror the bastings and by the press, am converts made openly and above boah Watch the still-hunter and any we bim thus : "Dibble dis and Dibble dat, And Dibble killed the yaller cat, But you can't get away with me. Tae Rains. The down-pour of rain continues a over Edgefield county, and unlet there is a bait called soon the croj will suffer. Already in some portion of the county the "big leaf is reporte in the eotton, and corn is said to t "bizzing in a strut," wnatevc that means. Bat Edgefield isn't i it like the South-western States. Rea the following from the New Orlear Times-Democrat of July 10th : "Tr heavy rain storm which began a wee ago continues, with no prospect ( ceasing. It is impossible to estim?t the damage to corn and cotton. . great number of bridges have bee washed away, and travel by dirt road bas almost ceased. No trains arrive or departed on the Georgia Paciri Railroad yesterday, and the Mobil and Ohio Road has a washout thirt miles sooth, and no trains have arrive from that direction. Ten inches < rain bas fallen in the last three day The Tombigbee River continues to rb rapidly. No one ever remembers sue a fall of water. The damage will t immense." Ask Their Names. When a Sheppard man tens you that j a Tillman i te has turned from Tillman j to Sheppard, the best plan is to ask for 1 names and then go to the men and get the information from their own- lips. You won't get fooled if you do this. Personal Mention* Mr. W. R.Covar,of the Aiken Times, j I spent Sunday with the borne folks. The Misses Du Bose and Miss Gate wood have re torn ed to the Ridge.

I The Call ison Giants Reply to the Troy Midgets. MB. EDITOR : The Callison giants took a trip to Troy last week and were sorry to see that evolution had advanced no further in the city. We don't know what they evoluted from unless it was a tad pole. . The Callison boys do feel hon ored to be called giants. We have always known that the Troy mid gets looked upon us as giants, so they are not "all surprised to hear of it. Large fruits spring from rich soil. As to the young ladies, Troy can boast of some beauties; but we think they should like the Calli son giants or Cuffeetown wild-cats. So perhaps the midgets will smell the breath of the wild-cats again. Do not think, Mr. Editor, that the Callison boys dislike to be called giants or wild-cats, for they are proud of the title. We would be glad to have some of the mid j gets over here, as it would improve their physical condition by merely I being with our giants and drinking Cuffeetown water.? GIANTS AND WILD -CAT. Callison, S. C. Insulting The Reformers. A correspondent, writing from Greenwood, says that Chairman Dibble recently visited that town and held one of his Sheppard glorification meetings. One of the speakers boasted that the vote he cast for Judge A. C. Haskell was the proudest act of hie life ; and during the discussion the sup porters of our State administration were compared to "curs" and coyotes." We would like to know with what sense of propriety can these ring rule candidates, groomed by Dib ble, now come before an audience of South Carolina Democrats and farmers, begging their support, while uttering such dire and infamous insults about them? We are surprised that the ticket representing the "culture" and re finement" of our State would wish to be placed in office and power by the votes of "curs" and "coyotes I? As nine-tenths or more of the far. mers of our State are friends and supporters of Governor Tillman, ol course when this outrageous and vile comparison was made, they were presumed to come under that head. When Judge Haskell made thc race against the nominees of the Democratic party he was ar Independent, and you can make nothing else of his candidacy And it certainly comes with pool grace from one of Sheppard's most blatant supporters to boast of hh voting against the nominees of hie party in 1890, and then seek tc cast ridicule one such sterling Democrats as Tillman, Irby am I. Talbert, because they accepted the r verdict of the Chicago convention We want to know how many o: these "curs" and "coyotes" intec to be driven by abuse and insulti from standing up for Tillman an( Reform? The tone of those Green wood speeches shows the rea ll opinion that the old ring leaden is entertain of our country people m And then you must bear in min< is that this meeting was called at th d instance of Mr. Dibble, and wh< >e presided over the same. Talk about your slander an< abuse i Has anything been said o writen by the Reformers that, fo low-down scurrillous abuse, cai compare with those Greenwoo< kl harangues? They show the ven OE >f j and hate in the breast of the ol ring rule crowd ; and seeing an ove whelming defeat 3 tar i ngt h em in th face,are denouncing,in the most ot fensive manner, every man who re fuses to vote for their corporation dictated ticket and the enslave ment of our farmers and toil in y masses. d When Sheppard and his friend >f come before you and ask your votei s. bear in mind that at Dibble9 Greenwood meeting you were com pared by one of the speakers t curs" and "coyotes."--Columbi Register. ?STOP^THE CAMPAIGN: The Conservatives Sick of Their Physic. Editor Register : Says the News and Courier in a long, leading edi toral : "The conduct of the friends and supporters of Governor Tillman at the laet three campaign meetings proves, we think, that they do not want to hear the issues or the campaign fairly discussed by the candidates,and it is very question able, therefore, whether any more of the joint discussions, so-called, should be held." The Register has on various occa8ions,from time to time, warned the opposition press and party that they were pursuing a false and foolish policy, the legitimate outcom? of which would be that the people would soon arrive at that point when they would no longer tolerate a campaign of abuse. Its warnings have been unheeded, and now that they find that they cannot drive Governor Tillman from the field by such tactics as they have purused, but that a justly indignant people have at last, just as was anticipated^ refused to tolerate such a campaign as they were conductings. With blind folly they pursued the Governor, until at Florence "the lion turned and put his foot upon the mouse ;" but still governed by a fien dish h a to, they followed him to Colombia and repeated their outrage in the face of the whole State keeping the Governor and the whole audience stading for two and a half hours t;? listen to Colonel You mans as he vainly and weakly ex> hausted himself of his venom. Governor Tillman stood undaunted but the people could and would stand it no longer. At Orangeburg they utterly refused to hear Shep pard or Youmans either; at Aiken they listtned to everyone else, but refused to let Youmans speak ; at Edgefield Youmans'3 speech caused all the trouble and at Lexington they boldly announced that he should not speak, that they would hoot and driye him from the stand if he tried to speak without guaranteeing that he would not indulge in his personal abuse and vilification* Sheppard a*nd Orr had already failed ignomiously to meet their antagonist or to make any im pression upon the people, and they fell back upon Youmans as the only resource left. His vanity prevented him from seeing that he was duped into putting his head in the lion's mouht. Now they all see it,and whipped and beaten at their own game of howling down, they begin to cry, "Stop the campaign?" One of the speakers at Lexington said to the speakers of the opposi tion ; You see that you can make this campaign whatever you want it to be. No matter what plane you pitch it upon, we must meet you." This is true beyond doubt. Orr and Governor Sheppard commenced with abuse, but were quickly made to abadon it as foolish and unwise, and that part of the programme was left to Colonel Youmans.Although utterly routed and discomfited at various points under the flattery and encouragement of a few bitter partisans and Hask'ellites and the opposition press, he persisted until he found in his week's campaign that he woula\no longer be tolerated He is but the dupe of the opposition and his own inordinate vanity, and we cannot but feel sorry for him, So far as its effects upon the peo ple are concerned, the campaign is already over. It has been fought and won, and ended with the Col umbia meeting-and outrage. If the opposition wish to continue the farce they can do so, but they will first have to assure the people that they have abaudoned theil policy of hate, ab"se, slander and vituperation. Nothingelse will do. They must do this and confine themselves to the issues of the campaign or with? draw from the field. They can with? draw Colonel Youmans or not, ai they see fit, but the campaign ol abuse, not education, must be stop ped or it is over. The poeple see who is to blame and will have no more of it. Thc responsibility for all that hat occurred, and that may occur, is or the shoulders of the opposition, be cause it is the result of their policy It is a clear case of 'Tnt up or sh ul up." A CLOSE READER. SHAKEN BY EXPLOSION. Destruction of Immense Powdei Works Near San Francisco. SAN FRANCISCO, July 9.-An ex plosion occured at the Giant anc judson Power Works, near Wes Berkeley, shortly after 9 o'clocl this morning, destroying the worki and much property for severa miles around. Five shocks were fel in this city within a few minutes the last four being of terrific force shaking buildings, cracking a num ber of walls and breaking plat glass in buildings eight block away from the water front. Th scene of the explosion is twelvi miles from the city. The giant powder works wen completely destroyed. One hudre< and eighty men, principally Chin ese, were employed there. It is noi believed that one hundred and fou persons were killed, iuelucLn; three white men. The explosion se the adjoining buildinings fire, an< owing to the danger of additions explosions no one is venturing nea the works to stop the progress 0 the flames. The fire is close to 1 magazine containing 3.000 ton of powder, and fear is expresse* that it may be destroyed. Among the white men known t killed are Wallace Dickerson, Chai lei Can hurdy and John Bow. Th body of a Chinaman was found 0 the railroad track half a mile fror the works. The remains of -a boj frightfully mangled, were found | near the scene. Every window in the county jail at Oakland was broken by ihe ex plosion. All the windows in the I residences in the town of West \ Berkeley were broken and several buildings were reported destroyed. At the office of the giant powder company, in this city it was thought that the Judson works, which are located at Labelle, about j three miles from the giant works, were safe. The giant works are lo-1 cated at Point Isabelle and High land near Stege, and comprime five buildings and three magazines. Of. these buildings the acid and nitro glycerine were destroyed, and at least one magazine is blown put The other buildings not ijnme diately destroyed tooK fire. The j loss on the property wilL be great. The explosion shattered the | window all over San Francisco, blew in the skylights, broke the | plate glass on Montgomery avenue, California stree. Monigomery street, Kearney" street and othe thorough fore and causedpeople to rush into the streets as though the convulsion was about to tumble all the buildings about their ears. Consternation was still at its hightwhen.there followed two more shocks, little less severe than the terrific one which had just been felt Glass rattled into the streets. ail over the ci ty,and. nob a few build ings, according to their inmates, came near collapsing. The menin the tower of the fire alarm station were sure that that struicure was | going to collapse. The intensity ot the shock can be appreciated when it is Known that it was distinctly, felt at Secramento, eighty miles distant, and that windows were cracKed at Napa and other points along the bay shore, twenty-five miles from the scene of the explosion. ??The powder company decline to give particulars regarding the number of men employed, but three white men, heretofore men tioned, are believed to be all the whites Killed. As to the Chinamen no definite information can be had but the figures heretafore given ( 101 Killed) are probably exagger ated. One magasine, containing 300 tons of giant powder and dyna mite/escaped destruction.^ Even'-1 thing else wont. The loss .is be tween $150,000 a - d $200,000. A Good Point. A darkey and a white man were discussing the liquor question the other day, when the white man said the way to stop the whole thing is to make more and take the tax off. The darkey with. the air of a philospher, said, "Boss, dat's like piecin' a dog's tail to make it shorter."-Clinton Cau cassian. _ ov. Tillman gave the Rev. T~. Richardson a poser at Florence last Thursday when the reverend gentleman asserted that Florence was too religious to vote for a man who would use "cuss" words. . 'He asked the brother if Florence was religious enough to vote for a member of the Baptist church who drinks and gambles. And that preacher has concluded that it is dangerous to fool with a buzz-saw. -People Advecate. Splendid Farm For Sale.
