Edgefield Advertiser HOS. J. ADAMS,.EDITOR WEDNESDAY, JUNE 20, 1894. The Rev A. J. S. Thomas, editor of the Greenville Baptist received the degree of doctor of divinity from the Columbian University of "Washington at its recenl encamp ment. Democrats may disagree^ to de tails and still be good Democrats, so long as they are loyal -to the party principies and party organ ization and support the party standard. Coxey and his two lieutenants have been released from prison, and Coxey has announced his candidacy for Congress. He wants to get in a position where he will not be made to .'keep off the grass.' The New Orleans States says: The first car load of watermelons consigned to a New Orleans house was received by Segari & Antony, of No. 38 Poydras street. The carload contained 1,200 melons and weighed 30,000 pounds. The Democratic tree of life has about shedded its last sear and withered leaves. The storms of repudiated pledges and promises will blow through its barren boughs with a fury that will make it pray for another budding spring time.-Marion Farmer. ' David McCoy, of San Bernadino county, Cal., a pensioner of the war of 1812, was 104 years old a few days ago. He fought in the battle of Thames river, where he wit nessed tho death of Tecumseh, the Indian ally of ?the British. The gentleman is as well and hearty as most men at 70. The latest sensation in strikes, was that of the choir boys of the Episcopal Church of Holy Com munion, Paterson, N. J. They re fused to sing themselves and en deavored to prevent anybody else singing, and demanded that they be paid a regular salary, being no longer willing to give their ser vices, which had hitherto been re compensed by the valuable musical instruction and education they received. Phosphate Inspector Jones re ports a steady increase in the phosphate business, and the pro bability ; is-JJ&at before i many -?vu-.-us ron atouiiw -.ti?- u'uMiuu>< will resume its wonted proportion^ From September to April inclusive thero were mined 57,005 tons, while the latter shows 14,981 tons. All the companies are getting their plants in good shape again, and the Coosaw campany, which is the the largest, has rebuilt five dredges and now has its entire plant at work. A great many improvements are being made in handling of the rock. The summer encampment to be held at Spartanburg is attracting much attention. Gen. Gordon has promised to deliver his famous lecture July 5, and the old Con federates will hear him with pleasure. Besides about twenty companies from this State pledged to come, the Asheville Light In fantry, two Wilmington companies, three companies from Atlanta and from Augusta have promised to attend. The Clemson College Cadets will be on hand in force. The war department at Washing * ton has promised to supplement the tents furnished by the State. It is expected that there will bo no lack of tents. "Boy evangelists" will have to look to their laurels,, for even in the field of converting sinners there is feminine competition, and already one "girl evangelist" is at work. She is Miss Fannie Edwards, of Louisville, Ky. Miss Edwards is a young person in her teens. Her hair flows over her shoulders in an unconfined way that accentuates her girlshncss. She has just returned to her home from an eight months' tour through Ohio and Indiana, during which she did not lose ten days from her missionary labors. She estimates that during that time she converted 1,000 persons ; or, as sheputs if, "saved 1,000 souls." Section 2479 of the Genera1. Statutes of South Carolina is of practical importance just now, and reads as follows : Any person who shall entice or persuade, by any means whatsoever any tenant, servant or laborer un der contract with another, duly entered into between the parties in the presence of one or more witnesses.whether such contract be verbal or in writing, to violate euch contract, or shall employ any laborer, knowing such laborer to be under contract with another, ?hall be deemed guilty of a mis demeanor, and upon conviction, ehall be fined not less than $25 nor more than $100, or imprisoned 'ic the county jaiJ not less than ten nor more than thirty days. We would rather see five hund red ragged Coxeyites on the Capi toi grounds than twenty-five broad cloth bank presidents and mil lionaire manufacturers. The one steps on public grass ; the other on private toes.-Marion Farmer. The Democratic nominee for Governor of Alabama, Col. Oates, was well thieshed and winnowed in the great war. Ho was wounded six times in battle. The Raleigh. N. C., Chronicle says he was wounded in the right arm, in the right leg, in the left hip, and clear throngh the right hip and thigh, in the head and finally, in the last gasp of ihe lost cause before Richmond his right arm was car ried away._ We respectfully submit the fol lows domestic colloquy to our venerable friends of tho Uniled States Senate. There is not much difference between domestic and political philosophy : "Josiar," said Farmer Corntossel's wife, "the roof's a leakin agin." "Is it? Well I'll investigate it to moarow." "Josiar"-and she spoke wich something like asperity which was not usual with her-"I dont read the newspapers fur nothin' What thet roof wants ain't investigation; it wants tendin' to-Ex." Here is what Mr. Carlisle said a little more than a year ago : "If there are any bonds issued by tho administration it will be done with some other man than myself as Secretary of the Treasury." And yet fifty millions of bonds of the first issue have already been put out, and the second issue of fifty millions more is already in sight, and still he is the Secretary of the Treasury. But since that time the Wall street devil has taken him up into a high mountain and shown him all the glories that he might have if he would fall down and worship it and issue some bonds and after awhile issue some more.-Ex. RAILROAD BACKET. Some Important Railroad Ru mors. P.;c?s: and Baoner. A gentliman who is in a position to know and who says he has it dead straight told a reporter for The Greenville News this story yesterday : "The South Carolina and South Bound railroadr are going to stir varr xa?njX)l?iX ~~i?lluzCCluli , iU CHIS i State and they are going to do it befoio very long. "The Perkins brothers, of New York, who have a barrel of money have bought the South Carolina railroad and cut the Louisville & Nashville out of a million dollars second mortgage bonds with which it hoped tc control that property. The result is thc- L. & L., joinly with the Coast Line, will build a road of its own to.Augusta from Charleston, and the Coast Line branch, just completed from Sum ter to Denmark, will bo extended to Barnwell to connect with the new line from Charleston to Augusta. "The South Carolina's owners, in order to hold their business will shorten theirjiine. Theyjcan and wil do it with a road from Sumter to Middletown where on tho Colum bia branch it will run to Orange burg. From Orangeburg it will build a short line to Blackville," thus taking a short cut to Augusta where it will have straight con nection with the Xorth over' the South Carolina, Charleston, Sum ter Sc Northern and Seaboard Air Lines. The South Carolina will . buy tho .Cumberland Gap railroad from Aiken to Edgeiield and extend it to Easley and Greenville via Abbeville. "To keep tho pot boiling thc R. D. and G. C. X. will play for each other's territory. The latter will bo the purchasers of the Port Royal it Western Carolina when it is sold and will extend it from from Spartanburg to Rutherford toh X. C. It will also extend the Columbia, Xewberry and Laurens making the shortest through line from Columbia to Greenville. "Tho Three C's will also take a hand and upon its reorganization will extend from Camden to Sum ter and from Catawba Junction I Charlotte." J. P. Denny Shot. Thc State, I WARD?, June 17.-Mr. Phillipp, at Barnes's turpentine and ronin distillery about four miles from Wards, shot Mr. J. P. Denny, owner of the land on which tho distillery stands, this morning, in the bowels tho extent of the in jury being un known. Phillips lias been drinking blind tiger whiskey for some time. Mr. Denny is a substantial citizen of this community. A low class of blacks and lower of whites are selling whiskey on the sly, to the disgust of better people. BUTLER AND TILLMAN. OFF FROM SCRATCH IN SEN ATORIAL SWEEPSTAKES. LONG RUN OVER ROCKY ROADS. Both Saving; Wind for Later Spurts-Loudly Cheered by Admiring: Friends. Both Confident. Thc Columbia State. ROCK HILL, June 18.-The great Senatorial contest has begun, j During the early hours of the day hundreds of people were con gregated around Turner's Hotel, where both Butler and Tillman were quartered, and it was a But ler crowd, the followers of the Gov ernor not coming up into town in large numbers. TILLMAN TROTTED IN THE RING. President White, after caution ing the crowd not to interrupt the speakers, introduced Gov. Till man. The Governor advanced to the front of the platform, paused half minute, and, after the cheering subsided, began by say ing that he occupied a peculiar po sition in that he had commenced to stump the State for the third time. THE $5,000 PER ANNUM LEVEL. "I tyant to get down to the level with you boys that plow," Gover nor Tillman exclaimed. He had met the people of York and Lan caster, and a few weeks before had addressed a great peace and unity public meeting just beyond the railroad when the Winthrop school corner-stone was laid. DON'T LIKE HIS EXAMPLE FOLLOWED. --He said that he had b?en accus ed of having a bitter tongue ; per haps he had but he was not re sponsible for all the dissensions in South Carolina. "Look at the manner in which I have been abused by the newspapers, and in the last campaign the exponent of the peace and unity crotfd went r.boutthe State before I began ?peaking, saying that I was un worthy to tie the shoe latchet of Judge Wallace. Both of the can didates for the Senate are from EcVgefield. Our plantations are in the same township.. We are friend ly, more or less, and no cross word ever passed between us. If feath ers are to fly each of us must loose.some of our pin-feathers. *- ^nrE TO^OO'L 'OT?? ? The people had been in a fever, he said, for five years. While some good had come of it, the time had come for it to cease. The in terests of the town and country are the same, and when the man who follows the mule in the cotton row cannot pay his debts neither can the lawyer earn a living or the preacher collect his salary. ONLY HUNTS BIG JOBS. ;'I have been Governor four years," said she Governor, "and my record is public property. I am ready to defend every act of my administration. I never stood for office until I was thirty-eight years old ; then I asked for the biggest plum at the top of the trea and climbed up and shook it down, so I can't be called much of an of fice seeker. Offices belong to you. Xo personal title to the office of Senator lies in anybody. My dis tinguished friend has been in the Senate eighteen years next March, but the position ?B not his. It's yours. SHORT WINDED FROM HIGH LIVING. You expect a discussion of na tional issues and I shall take a bird's eye view of them. I can't sweat and puff and cover them all today. "If I tried I should be like a piney woods pond-only knee deep." I DOESN'T PROMISE BETTER TIMES. If the cotton crop is bad in one State today, so it is in another and I the same is true of the wheat crop. In seven States troops are out to keep down insurrection and riot. There is no prospect of better times. I shall not talk of the tariff, I cannot reach it, but I shall talk to you of our financial sys tem. In one word, we.have had too little money in the country to do its business. At the beginning of the war $2,000,000,000 were in circulation, now $1,000,000,000 cir culates. The money system of the country is controlled by capi talists and they are bossed by Lombard street. These have con tracted the currency.. ; WANTS MOPvE MILLIONS FOI? NEW Y ORK BANKS. The Governor then entered into a disquisition, explaining tho dis tinction between greenback and national bank notes. "If thc prom ise to pay on a greenback is dis houest-, v.liy ia the promise on United States bonds so valuable?" be asked, and he road Federal Supreme Court decisions sustain ing greenbacks legality, the green back which whipped you in the war. If it was good enough for that it ought to keep you out of the poor house. He spoke of fictitious panic of last year bi "created, purposely created by Shylocks of Wall street. : Cleveland attempt to carry the silver plank of the Chic platform? No, my God, no! the man in the White House more responsible than any ol man living for the betrayal of Democracy." WHEN HE IS THE PEOPLE'S PRESID: Then the Governor denoun the sale of bonds last year in interest of the bondholders, T burned the candle of povei stricken toilers at both ends, shall have no remedy until we together and turn the whole and boodle out. "When we do in, oh, my God, won't we en grinding that kit or corn." Then the Governor reiterated charge about the fraudulent monetization of silver, declar: that Cleveland and Sherman w cheek by jowl and that Shem was triumphant. ' . COXEY TOOK THE WRONG ROAD "Coxey went to Washington w a crowd of ragamuffins to ask C< grees for help. What did they c They cracked poor Coxey's he But they were afraid of Coxey, the same, and put him in j: True, Coxey was a crauk and a fe He should have stayed at ho and gone to voting. "There," .shouted the Govern with great energy, "is the sw< with which you can kill t dragon, but you must watch 1 they buy you with their moue buy you by hauling you about free passes." MUST LOOK TO THE WEST. The Governor returned to the i monetization question, and stopr. once, declaring that he .could speak unless the buzz about h stopped. Speaking of the si treasury, he differed with some his Alliance brethren, believed tl the two fights to restore silver a to issue paper money direct shoi be done before energy should wasted in divising methods to d tribute it. It was like arrangi to cook the rabbit before it ?w caught. We've got to go to t West for an Alliance. We c look no longer to New7 York a; New Jersey. Owing to the bet raj by Cleveland men, whohad Buck Democracy iu their mothers' mi] they were casting about, helple and disgusted at their party, whl has gone into shivers. "OLD BAG OF BEEF." language characterize that old b; of beef in the White House, wi had failed to carry out any of h promises. PROMISED A LOT IN '90. "What relief can I offer? I a; reminded of Bill Arp's story of B: John, who, when the Yankees we: hot after him, tied the tail of h 'ox to the dashboard so that the ca: couldn't gt t away from him. I can do exactly as Big John did, bi when Iget to the Senate I can't I bought, or bribed or bulldozed; can go up on a mountain and gail er a great many big rocks and hu: them at everybody that coruf along." "But you can't do it, Governor, yelled somebody in the crowd. The remark seemed to infuriat tie Governor. "But there are sixtv o<id thousand men who voted fo me for Governor because the. thought I'd do it, and they are go ing to do it again, sir," exclaime< the Governor with frantic em pjiasis, and sat down, BUTLER MEN ENTHUSIASTIC. The cheering was spirited bu brief. The band played. As thi last note fell there was a cry fo: "Butler." "Butler, Butler," re sounded through all parts of th? crowd, and for"the first time dur iug the day-the cheering was gen eral. When the chairman had intro duced the Senator the cheering wai renewed. Senator Butler said : THE SENATOR SPEAKS. "I'm mighty glad to see you. ] am glad to see you in a good hu mor. I'm glad that Gov. Tillman was in a good humor. I shall meet him with the same respectful bear ing. Tho Governor says he has been accused of having a bitter tongue. Well, a fish woman can wield a bitter tongue, but it re quires courage to speak to an intel ligent and well informed audience like this before me. A PROPOSITION. "I have a proposition to make to the Governor. If he will -igree to have a separate ballot box at each voting precinct in which the peo ple, in the primary in September may register their choice for Sena tor, without the interference of rings and caucuses, I shall agree to iibide by it. Will he do that?" Voicos-"No, no, no." "Oh, I think he will," said the Senator". "WiH.he agree to submit to the people whether be or I should represent them in the Senate? - I will abide by il," (Cheers.) DIDN'T ASK FOR IT. "Thc Governor says that the Sen ate doesn't belong tome; I didn't ask togo there. I did not ask for the privilege of accepting the vol ume of abuse which the Republi cans hurled upon me when I was lighting for my seat. Men who rode by mo in camp and bivouac called on me for what seemed a forlorn hope, and I would not refuse, be cause I felt it was my duty. I ? id not go through that experi again for any office. "If we are to judge of tbeGover or in the Senate by the speech be as made, what a spectacle he \rould bv, driving an ox cart with tie ox tail in the dashb' rd ; fling i ig rocks from the mountain top. What could he accomplish in the Senate making such a veritable spectacle of himself? DELICATE SUBJEC'I OF PASSES. '": <;We have heard a good deal said atieut finance, Cleveland being Bought and free passes. I submit that is a delicate question for the (governor. (Cheers.) I think he had better lot the subject drop. Has it/j come to this that a man in South Carolina can't ride on a train with put asking Mar6e Ben? I have ask ed for passes for poor men out of a job. Has the Governor ever asked a\ pass for a poor man? (Wild cheering.) T Voice-"He asked for one for himself." (Fierce cheering, which ?utler had to quiet.) j Some voices shouted for Tillman j A HOMELY COMPARISON. ^jKThe speaker then compared Till man to a young mule who, when forking in double harness, kicked ?,ndbitatthe other mule and did ?0 pulling. He then ridiculed the Qpvernor'slove of office. /Manin the crowdr- "Don't you leve office, too?" j YeB,I do, pretty well, responded tjhe Senator, eyeing the man coolly. '(Aye God. I tell the truth ; I have $ot gone crazy about office, though. THE GOVERNOR'S CHOICE AT CHICAGO. ? The Governor is in his "A. B. C's" about finance. One of his friends ?alls him a "genius of destruction." A common tramp may blow up a house With dynamite. The Governor talks about monopolies and cobberies, but he suggests no remedy. Ile will get on amountianand throw rocks; drive an ox cart with the ox's tail in the dash board. 1m under the impression that he went to Chicago a supporter of David B. Hill, who at the beginning of his career, has stabbed the party by declaring against the income lax, the fairest clause in the tari if bill. That should teach you what to expect of the Governor. I am as far from Cleveland as the poles from each other, and no one is better aware of it than he, bnt I take no stock in tm's abuse of him. The tariff bill will be passed, lt is the best tariff bill before Congress, because it is not satisfactory to the extremes of each side. Voice: "Itdoes not represent the Democratic party." Butler : -'It is a bill which the Demo cratic party can stand on." The Sena tor then defended the bill fully, assert ing that its duties were G per cent, lower than the Mills bill. ADVOCATES SILVER LEAGUES. "I predict that the nex' Repub lican national conventioi will put in a free silver plank in their plat form. I favor that the Democrats of the South and North and West begin now aud organize silver leagues. I believe the country can sustain double the amount of greenbacks in the country. The Republican part}' is responsible for the condition of the South. I believe when the tariff bill is pass ed that the revenues will be ample |tejcL?ha.surpor^of. the government [Tam as much opposed to the bond issue as the Governor is. WHAT BECAME OF THE DOLLAR? To illustrate a point in silver] demonetization, the Senator said : "If the Governor will lend me the dollar he has, I'll show you; (smiling) he's better off than I am." (The crowd laughed up roariously.) I'll give it back to him, or else play crack-loo for it." The Governor came forward with a grin and handed him the dollar. The Governor says greenbacks whipped UP. I was thar. It was muskets and bayonets which whipped us, or rather we got tired out whipping the Yankees. The Senator explained the pension infamy and said that the reason why it was not checked was because we hadn't the votes. He incidentally paid a tribute to the Confederates, saying that there never were such soldiers as the soldiers of Lee and Jackson. The Senator held up a large yel low envelope. "I have plenty of] ammunition hore. I want the Gov ernor to understand that when I tackle the State administration I shall do it frankly, though in per fect good humor. When I warm his back he must take it like a little man. He must take his pun ishment. I shall take mine. I am used to it. A WORD ABOUT RECORDS, I know the farmers are poor. I un derstood that the Governor promired when elected that he would help the farmers. Are they better off? On the other hand taxes have been increased. I shall stand side by side with my peo ple in their struggle. I challenge Gov ernor Tillman to point to an instance where I have not done my duty. It is wrong to turn a man out of the Senate only because he has done his duty. I would lay down public life forever if I could thereby see my people united and living as brothers as they we're four years ago. I utter a wari 'ng and a prediction, that when the w" te peo ple divide and appeal to the ir o vote we shall have a period of degradation worse than reconstruction, There is nothing for me in the Senate. 1 am a poorer man than when I went there. I have not learned Lo steal or accept bribes. I cin't be captured by ?old or free passes. (Cheers.) It may be a little vain, but 1 believe I am the man to bring the people together. Senator Butler was continually cheered, and often had to stop and quiet his friends before proceeding. Col, Jones said that Governor Till man was enii tied to a reply. TniC GOVERNOR LOUDLY CRKERED. When Governor Tillman came to the front ha was loudly cheered. .Much than at any earlier period ip the meet ing. NOT ix LOVE wrrn THE PLAN. , Tn answer to Senator Butler's sug gestion of a separate box he said that he favored a constitutional amend ment providing the plection f?f Sena., tors by popular voie, but that shouiu be iii the general elections. Ile was Willing to leave Hie matter for them to decide. Ile would be satisfied with their action, bul the people could make known their wishes by vo?ng for or against candidates for I he Legislature >vho had declared their preferoifcr.'t for Senator. I THE PEOPLE CALLED HIV, I The Senator jad i\\ il ted him abou his love for office. The people knew ?hat they had called upon him o lea I their forlorn hope in '90, and le ha I done it. Xever liad a man been ,?o slandered and lied upon, ile had look- | cd down tho vista of thc future at (hat March convention and seen that ho nada long and stumpy road lo travel. "I ain't uneasy now. though, I've got the coon skin and gone." CLAMS YORK BY 1.000 VOTES. "A man in the crowd, whose tongue was longer than his brains were deep,' had accused him of asking for a free pass. It was false. Bunch McBee knew that it was sent him voluntarily and he accepted it so as not: to appear picayunish. I have letters from friends in four counties, saying that Butler men were to ba brought here free from God knows where. 1 do know this they don't represent York, and i've got this county by a thousand votts. (Great applause.) A HIGH STEPPING MULE. The Governor then told how he kick ed and fitren for the people in the Coosaw and railroad cases, declaring that a young, high stepping mule was better than a llop-earcd old one. He denied that he voted for Hill and closed by thanking York in advance for its Vote, which he knew he was going to get. _ CiflD mn TES. A V" IS ALL ITCOSTS! We're for thc poor man c%*'ry time, And in this 'ere campaign We'll stump old Edgeficld county Through the sunshine and the rain, And hold thc banner up'ards From a-trailin' in the dus'., And cut loose on monopolies, And cuss and cuss and cuss.
