Enfield Advertiser HOS. J. ADAMS,.EDITOR WEDNESDAY, JUNE 13,1894. The wheat crop of Dallas county, Texas, now being harvested, will foot up 600,000 bushels, or 150,000 more than lasf year. Dr. Middleton Michel, one of the oldest physicians of Charles ton, died Juno 4th, in the seventy second year of his age. Prof. John C. Kilgo will deliver the literary address before the graduating class of Due West Female Colloge. We believe the gubernatorial fight will be between John Gary Evans and Jas. E. Tindal the present Secretary of State. True bills have been fouud in the Dallington court this week against McClendon, Cain, and fourteen other State constables for the killings during the riot in that town some time since. The triais will not be held until the October terra of court. The Columbia State has told Grover Cleveland "good-bye," it says that his attitude towards the 10 per cent, tax on banks was the ' last feather. We congratulate our contemporary on the destruction of one of its idols. There are some others, however, yet to be broken. Smash 'em a'l, and come over to the side of Gideon. Secretary of State Tindal will positively be a candidate for gov ernor. He will be at the pre liminary meeting at Rock Hill on the 18th and at Yorkville on the 19th and will go through the campaign. This is from undoubted uithority. Mr. Tindal will in a few days make an official an nouncement of his candidacy. In the argument in the United States Senate on .Monday on the tariff bill now pending in that body, by an amendment bagging for cotton was placed on the free -nrrt,.~-j?ar thig amendment and for free bagging SoSt&era farmers are indebted to the much ridiculed Peffer, senator from Kansas. Let us give Peffer a rest, he deserves our thanks. In the vote taken last Wednes day in the House of Representa - ?lYXitr . VIA" tu?' KI11J. KV .v^/vu. . - ^ per cent, tax on State banks, Rep resentatives Strait, Latimer, Mc Laurin, Shell, and Talbert alli voted for the repeal, thus taking all taint or stain of populism from their garments, for this was not one of the demands of the Ocala platform. Talbert expressed the sentiment, worthy of all commen dation, that the demands for the repeal of the 10 per cent, tax was one of the planks in the Chicago Democratic platform, and if that platform was good enough for him to get in on it was good enough to vote on and to fight on. The Columbia State speaking of the senatorial fight, says : "The Sanatoria] fight is going to be the feature of the campaign. Both Butler and Tillman are going to take the stump. They will start the ball rolling at Rock Hill and at every meeting thereafter they both will appear. Their joint de bates promise to be intensely in teresting in every sense of the word, and from all that can be heard there will be some lively passages at arms. What shape the fight is going to take no one knows. The Rock Hill meeting ' will probably tell the story. It might be said here, too, that if there is any hot blood stirred up in the campaign it is going to be from these joint debates and not from anything that may be said in the State campaign deb ites. Never before on the eve of a bier political battle have things been so quiet as they are now." Last year the General Assembly of Massachusetts appointed a com mission of three members, one a learned professor of Cambridge, the other two of equal eminence and without political bias to in vestigate the system of controllirg the sale of liquors in Norway and Sweden. This commission after making a patient and thorough ex amination of the law and its opei ation in these countries made a favorable report on the system, and last week a bill passed the House of Represi ntatives of that State by a large majority. This bill is about the same as our South Carolina dispensary law, and South Carolinians will watch its fate with deep interest. There is one thing the discussion of South Caro lina's dispensary law has done which will certainly ultimate in good and that is the stimulation of nquiry as to the best methods of closing saloons and destroying the power of liquor in these United States. 1 It appears now that thc As sociated Press account of Gov ernor Tillman's speech and re ception at the Staten island pro hibiton meeting was biased and unfair ;and that the governor in reality captured the audience and had most of them with him at the conclusion. So say the reports of the occasion in the New York Re corder. The Recorder, which had no interest in misrepresenting the affair, puts the headlines over its account. "Tillman ^Won Them-South Carolina's Ruler Captures an Audience of 2,000 in 'prohibition Pork-Defends His Dispensaries -When He Got Through with His Address He took a Vote and Nearly Every Hand Went Up in Enthusiastic Approval of His Method of Regulating the Liquor Trame." MUST BE A TADPOLE. The Springfield (Mass.) Repub lican says : "Tillman is an infinite distance from the ideal Senatorial timber but he is a long way better than Irby." We must conclude then that Irby is a tadpole in the opinion of our contemporary. Well, he may be a tadpole, bi2t we have always main tained that Irby was no bugeater, and not to be a bugeater is pretty high up in ramracker phrase ology. GOOD-BYE VAIN WORLD. The Columbia State takes a final adieu of the Democratic party in this State in the following words : "The State cannot recognize the primaries to be held in August, or the committee which invites Popu lists and Republicans to them, as Democratic. We abjure all alle giance to either. Whether there will be a Democratic party organ ized in South Carolina this year depends upon the temper of the real Democrats. They may prefer todo nothing, convinced that the majority is against Democracy But if there should be one organ ized, The State will support it." For Mr. Cleveland's efforts in defeating the repeal of the 10 per cent State bank tax it also bids him farewell : "We have no reason to doubt the statement in the Washington Star -an independent paper-that President Cleveland used his in fluence against the repeal of the Oi.~L. 1-1, fnv \VD Imnw fW Kilt for his attitude of hostility or in difference the. vote would have been very different. We have been hoping against hope that Mr, Cleveland would at leest rise to a broad and national view of the currency question, but we now realize that he is obstinate in his purpose to force upon the country a narrow and sectional policy, hostile to Southern interests. It is hardly necessary to say that if we could have anticipated this three years ago, The State would never have supported him for the Democratic nomination. His first term gave no indication of a course so radical. Weean excuse minor policies which are the product of his Eastern environments, but we cannot forgive his desertion of the platform upon which he gained the Presidency. At this spot we take our leave of President Cleve^ land." Will "Uncle George" Run? We clip the following from the Columbia State of Monday, June 11th: It was started in this city yester day on pretty good authority that ex-Congressman George D. Till man, at the earnest solicitation of his friends all over the State, had decided to enter the race for Gov ernor. Whether the statement is true or not is not known. The announcement yesterday, however was acceptably received in Co lumbia, for many admire the politi cal course of "Uncle George," and believe that he would make a most formidable candidate. The New York Recorder gives this villainous report, so far as re lates to the dialect used of Gov ernor Tillman's hand primary at Saten Island. Just before closing, the Governor said: "I .want to take a little hand primary to see whether. I win or lose. How many of yo's against me, and want total pro hibition or neither?" About fifty hands went up. "Now, how many's with me on the dispensary question, to take a half loaf, if you can't get all?' Nearly every hand in the entire audience went up. '.Dar ! Dar 1 I tole you I'se got 'em It's with these little hand primaries I've won every time, and I'm goin' to do it again in December, and Farmer Tillman will reprnsent the good old State of South Carolina in tho Senate, Good-night."

WASHINGTON, June 7.-The Evening News says; "Represen tative Oates, who will soon be Governor of Alabama, lately had a notable interview with the pr? sidant. A short time after the rep r?sentative had reached the presi dent's office and had engaged in conversation with him, Mr. Cleve land asked Oates what he thought of the best way to bring the coun try out of its financial difficulties. They had been speaking of silver and of the ideas of the ''plenty-of money people." Colonel Oates replied that the subject was a most intricate one, and while in a general way out lining his views, he confessed to the president that he did not know what should be done. Mr. Cleve land watched him closely as he talked, and when this confessson came out, the president brought I his fist down on the table with a | bang that shook it from one end to the other and said : "Well, I'll be d-d if I know what to do!" The Somersault of the Demo cratic Party. Reviews of Reviews. When one considers the loss to every business interest that results from the suspense and disturbance of new tariff legislation, it is evident to any - unprejudiced mind that the retention for some years to come of the McKinley acts precisely as it stands would be greatly preferable to the adop tion of a measure like the one now pending in the Senate,'which Bettles nothing either as to princi ple or as to practice. The Demo cratic party has shamelessly and scandalously ignored the promise upon which it came into power to give the country a tariff on revenue lines. The Wilson bi 1 as originally drafted by the Ways and Means Committee of the House was a faltering and lame attempt to take one infinitesimal step in the direc tion of a revenue tariff. But the amended and revised bill now un der consideration in the Senate has retraced that little step, and the Chicago platform is without a defender in the halls of Congress. Even Mr. Mills, of Texas, while opposing the compromise, announ- j any tariff bill which make a re duction of duties by the very smallest degree. His position ?6 an absurd one, for it meaus in plain English that Mr. Mills would justify a disturbance of) business interests that costs the country hundreds of million of | dollars for the sake of a slight nominal reduction of tariff rates, when the altered rates would be just as effectively protective as they were before. So long as the principle remains unaltered, nothing whatever is accomplished by a casual reduction, here and there, of tariff rates ; and such work would be the most trifling I child's play but for the mischief it | accomplishes. Curiously enough, the income tax holds its pla/ie practically unaltered in the Demo cratic scheme. The one great plank of the Democratic platform pronounced protection unconsti tutional and demanded a revenue tariff. This has been repudiated without cause and without apology. But the Domocratic platform did not mention in any way the laying j of a tax upon incomes, while this | was one of the principal features of the Populist programe. The Democrats in Congress have now made the income tax their one dis tinctive tenet. The country will hardly again in twenty years ac cept any pretense from the Demo cratic party that it is opposed to protection, and that party will ap parently be compelled to stand or fall upon a totally new doctrine which has never had a place in its platform except by way of j cocnemnation of the Republican income tax of the war period. The situation is a highly absurd one, and the Democratic party will have no light task in adjusting itself to its novel position. A New Railroad. A new railroad between Augusta and Charleston will be a thing of the near future. Surveys have already begun. The Louisville aud Nashville system is behind this project. That corporation has some large interests in Charleston property, and failing to get control of the South Carolina and Georgia road, they are going to build their own outlet to the sea. This new road will pass through Aiksn county nearly parallel to the South Carolina and Georgia road. It is announced that MrR. Mary Lease will be nominated by Lhe "Prohibitionists for congress man at largo from Kansas. It is ilso reported that the nomination j prill be endorsed by the Populists. IN A LION S JAWS. Mlle. Beatrice Mangled By Her Pet. CoRxVEY Island, N. Y.. June 10. Mlle. Beatrice, the lion tamer at the London Zoo, who is giving a wild animal show on the old pier at West Brighton had a nar row escape from being mangled to death to-night by lion. It was just about 10 o'clock and the enclosure on the pier where the animals are on exhibition was crowded with people. The last performance of the day was being given and Beatrice appeared in the hall, climbed up the ladder leading to the wild lions' cage and entered. There are two big Asiatic lions in the cage, a male and a female. The male is a great pet of the tamer and she plays with him for fifteen minutes at every performance: Her act with the wild beast is closed by opening his mouth and kissing him. She always succeeded in kissing the brute until tongiht. While she was making her bold attempt to smack the lips of Brutus tonight, the man who feeds the lions made his appearance near the cage with a box of raw beef. Brutus caught sight of the beef and in a moment he unfasten ed Beatrice's hold upon him and sprang upon her. Both had a lively tussle which finally resulted in the lion tamer falling to the floor and the lion grabbing the left side of her face in his mouth. The wo men and children in the audience screamed and looking for clubs and 6ticks with which to beat the lion away from the woman. In a few moments Manager Farrare and Trainers Bronce and Ordawy rushed with pitchforks. After pinnging the forks several times in the head and body of the lion they managed to make him lessen his hold and got the girl out of the cage. She was unconscious and blood was pouring from her face as she was carried into the office. Dr. Hill was summoned and the woman was put to bed. When the doctor arrived the wo mau; was delirious aud opiates had to be given to quiet her. Upon examination, Dr, Hill found that the lion had succeeded in sticking three of his big teeth through the woman's left jaw. Other parts of her face were also chewed. It took some time for the Burgeon to stop the flow of blood. Dr. Hill said tonight that it was the worst -case of animal bite that he ever saw. Tpe wnrrian waa deliroiiH at mir! - nighFand Dr. Mill says she is in a precarious condition. Mlle. Beatrice is twenty years old. Her father was a lion tamer and she went ^into the business when twelve years old. She came !from London with the show three weeks ago. A Pretty Tough Snake Story. Yorkville Enquirer. Here is a pretty tough snake story. It comes to us second handed. Our informant vouches for the truth of it; understood that we are not responsible. One day last week Mr. Sara Lauth ridge. who lives near Philadelphia church, sent a little negro under his house to get the eggs from a hen's nest. Shortly after his dis appearance under the house the little negro gave a yell, and with all possible speed crawled back ward. Hanging to his head was a writhing and twisting snake about two and a half feet in length. Just as he got from under the house, the boy seized the snake with a frantic snatch and threw it vio lently to the ground, where it was quickly dispatched by Mr. Lauthridge. A careful examination showed that the boy had not been bitten at all ; but entangled in the thick wool, was one of the fangs of the snake which had evidently been pulled out as the boy snatched the reptile from his head. The snake is said to have been a "spreading" adder. A Big Ship at Port Royal. The Palmetto Post, The steamship British King, row in this harbor, is so large and commodious and so far ahead of what may ever be seen in what politeness is pleased to term com mercial ports in the South, that we deem it only proper to say an extra word about her, and at the same time suggest that citizens of neighboring ports*(?) paya visit here and see a big ship loading in a harbor never too big for ut terance. The British King is 420 feet long47 feet 6 inches beam and 28 feet depth of hold. Capacity 8,281 tons measurement and 6,500 tons dead weight. She is commanded by Capt O'Hagen. Chief Officer Hutchinson. This steamship carries from this port 3,5090 tons phosphate rock, 2.000 tous flour, 2,000 bales cotton and timber and lumber consisting of poplar logs poplar, walnut and oak lumber, and grist, meal, cotton seed, ochre and staves. Mark this, she carries 1,800 barrels soap 6tock from Charleston. When the British King leaveB here she will call at Newport News for 600 head of cattle for Liverpool.
