BATTLE OF THE TITANS. A Day of Sensations at Chester, and Looks Like Blood on the Moon. News and Courier. CHESTER, June 20.-There was no mistaking the tone of to-day's campaign meeting at Chester. It was personal ; it was aggressive ; it was daring; it was fierce; it was red hot; it set the pace for possi bly a very ugly campaign ; it show ed, that Gem Butler is deeply in earnest ; that he expects to say just what he pleases about politi cians and issues, and that he does not intend to brook what he con ceives an insult; that is plain. Gov. Tillman had the reply at Yorkville, and when he spoke of what he called the Coxey army as he did something sharp was ex pected in reply. The wonder is that the rock-throwing did not start at the very first meeting. Most seemed to expect it. THE MEETING WAS OPENED by Chairman Will A. Barber, who called upon the Rev. Mr. Child for prayer. He then asked for good ^orTj^~-fnt#e-a^ Of the storm that was going to break loose in tho comparatively small crowd. He introduced Gov. Tillman as the first speaker, and, strange as it would seem, there was not a flutter of applause when the Governor began to speak. This is explained by the instructions for quiet to be maintained. The applause came later, and at times came in tor rents. Gov. Tillman did not to day tread to any extent on the powder magazines. He made very much of a general talk. It was much more connected than yester day's and touched upon some of the issues of the day. Yet he could not help touching on what ho has styled the Coxey army in Carolina As it was very much on the line of his previous addresses a brief synopsis only is given : He said he had heard and said a good deal of rings, but this was too much of a ring all round the stand. These discussions, he weut on to say, were a sort of school, and if the public speakers do right they can lend you a good deal of light. Now this is my third year aB Governor. This is my last year. Voice : "Thank God for that." You don't thank Him any more than I do. Voices: "Hurrah for Tillman! You are the man !" Counter hur rahs. Tillman then went on to say: The first time I ran the people de manded it, the next time I ran to show your faith in mn, for I bad been charged with everything ex cept stealing, and now I want to go to the Senate. Voices: "You will get there." The newspapers then came in for a share of his usual kicks. They followed, he said, behind the met ropolitan papers and did the bid ding of their bosses. He insisted they did not represent public senti ment. Incidentally he said the farmers raised too much cotton and now they have to go to raising other products. Then he returned to the theme of the condition of the farmers. The farmers may not be legislated into prosperity, but they can be legislated into the poor house. They want help. We have things reasonably straight in this State, and it only behooves the farmers to keep things straight by watching. He attributed the " trouble of the farmers to national legisla!ion. As to what he co do, be as one of the eighty-ei Senators would try to give, ev man equality and justice. I -v do justice for you and not sell yonr interests. Voice: "You'll sell 'em (fai ers) in." Tillman : 'Tl give everybod, show. My oppouent will tell j about my riding up in an ox c with his tail tied. Voice: "Taint a Jersey bull." Gov. Tillman went on to s what he as an individual merni could do in the Sen?te, what t Senate could do, and that certs members could buy in the wh< Senate and not miss the mom Trusts and monopolies are nurti ed there and in the House. T people plough on while the Sene is controlled by the money powi I want to teil you boldly and fei lessly that the Democratic party rotten. Voice : "How about Weaver?" Tillman : He's rotten too. I a afraid he has too many ismB ai too many cranks around him. Ti man seemed to be somewhat afra that the whiskey ring was at wo in this State. Voice : "Well, whiskey is rm'gh high." . Tillman : I'll talk to you on di pensary justas long as you wat He took occasion to reiterate tl charge about hauling "boomen to Rock Hill, and again dubb( them Coxeyites. This army, 1 said, was run by the railroads, cc lected and carried from points : North Carolina and one-half i South Carolina, tapped by tl Richmond and Danville Railroad They went there without payir. their way ; they told me and othe: so. I shall not charge anyone wit the outrage, but the responsibilil rests on one of four-Senator Bu 1er, Mr. Cleveland, the whiske ring, or the railroads representir. the money interests. Last year he remarked that I rode with one foot on the Demo racy, the other on Weaver, and I nearly got split in two. He, hov ever, claimed to have led thb pe< pi? to the Democrats and to Clev< land. What have we got from him Nothing. Voices : Hurrah for Tillman ! He went into Cleveland agai and thought he was working agaim his interests, and said he was egc tistic enough to think Clevelan knew he was a goad on the ox, an was intimating to his Wall stree friends that Tillman had better b left at home. (Hurrahs for Butle and Tillman. "You'll get there, and "You won't," in reply.) But if Cleveland is not respon sible then this whiskey ring don' like our dispensary. Mr. Cleve land was straining every nerve t get him (Tillman) defeated. Cleve land would rather have Gen. Butle re-elected. In 1878 Butler wa about the only Senator from thi section who voted against free sil ver. Then he injected a statemen that he was sure of election. H gave Gen. Butler credit for beiuj honest and poor. In Gen. Butler' little pamphlet whioh he had sei i he hasn't shown that he has dom anything for you, boys. He doesn' realize that you have gone beyon( "Baker." He doesn't realize you: needs as one who has sprung fron among you. He went over pretty much thc same ground as in his othe: speeches. He wanted the member! of the Legislature pledged to him and no Mugwumpishness. He waE willing to stand before the people in a separate box. Whatever the committee wanted he was willing to do That was not his concern, but he was confident that in any way he could get a majority ol the votes. Tillman was frequently inter rupted with burrahB and as surances that he would be elected, and with counter cheers for Gen Butler. Governor Tillman got the enthusiasm up to a good pitch and sat down amidst considerable applause. For some good reason he called no primary. When GEN. BUTLER. was announced there was au out burst of real old time cheer's and they were met with coun ter cheers, for Tillman. When Gen. Butler began he said qnietly that at Rock Hill he announced that he would do nothing to prevoke trouble. Governor Tillman said he wanted issues discussed and yet at Yorkvilie, where he had the reply, be put an insult on my character that I permit no man living to do without resenting. Gen Butler: Now, boys I prop< to talk. I'll give it to bi [Hnrrab? an cheers.] Gen Butler raised his voi walked across the platform a said: He must take his punii ment like a mau. He said y terday, or it* he did not say so adopted a meaner form, by : sinuation innuendo and suggest! that I had a corruption fund Wall street or elsewhere with whi to buy my seat into the Senal Then turning around towards G( ernor Tillman he went on to say say in reply that if Governor Tl man or anyone else makes tl charge against me HE IS AN INFAMOUS LIAR. The crowd was dumbfounde They looked at Gan. Butler ai Gen Butler at Governor Tillma Everything was as quie' as t. calmest sea. Then all of a sudde there was an outburst of applau a mixture for Tillman and Butle Chairman Barber asked for ord and Gen Butler continued: When he has charges to mal against me let him make the like a man of courage and trutl specify and not indulge in the ii nuendo of a blackguard and bull Tnen rising up" in front of h audience: The man nevr wi live who imputes dishonesty I me THurrahs for Butler and Til man. "Give him hell !"] Goverix j Governor Tillman may go to tl ?Seuate, but he shall not go thei standering me. Let. him go 01 I there on his own merits aud no ?by villifyinglampooning and mil representing better mee than he i [Hurrah] Talk about my having corruption fund. He says I ai no tiu sympathy with you men. Voice: "Were you at Brand Station?" Yes, I was, and I am here to-da and will be with the Governc every day, I hope I have not som of the defects of character whereb he accuses a man behind his bac' and the next day denies he sai' it. Voice ; "be'll do it every time. [Hurrah for Tillman and Butler. He talks of my friends being a Rock Hill as CoxeyiteB. There' one of my gallant friends fron Edgefield. as true a man as eve lived. He would no more under take to tell that man he was i tramp if he were on equal term with him .than he would to fly These men simply did not get thi permission to do as they pleasec from "Marse" Ben. I did not pro vide these men with transporta tion and had nothing to do wit! there coming. I could have hac nothing to do with it. Governo: Tiliman perhaps thought he hac been bossing the State long enougl to think h? had a right title anc interest it. "How about that blacklisting?' Some one fired in. I had no more to do with it thai you had. Then he went on : Gov ernor Tillman says I declined tc make speeches in 1S90. I do uoi believe that committee ever made the request in the first place. The} ignored me and* GOVERNOR TILLMAN DOES NOT TE LI THE TRUTH when he spys I was invited tc speak in that campaign. I wa'? systematically ignored. Gen Hampton went to Aiken, where he was invited, and was bowled down by Tillman's myrmidons, and they tried to disgrace and humilate that old man. I did not go because I was not. invited. Then, too, in 1892, although I offered my ser vices, there seemed to be a design to keep me away fjom the people. There never seemed to be any place for me. Governor Tillman eays I was elected because of the Hamburg riots, and that he too was there. Maybe he was, but I was there and did not see Till man, and I have been told that when the shooting began he could not be found. "How about Brandy Station?" was again asked. I was there, but Tillman wasn't. He says he was too young, yet I had couriers as young or younger. Then Gen Butler branched off on the destructive genius line. ["That's McLaurin" sonn -one called cut.] Tillman points to Clemson and Winthrop as his work. I give him full credit for what he has done, yet anybody else with the money could have done the same thing. Mr. Tindal I. know had something to do with Clemson. Mr. Simpson I have been informed has taken an active Dart in bui'ding and securing it. Why with the money I could build another Solomon's Temple. A Yorkville. GOVERNOR TILLMAN HAD THE I? DECENCY to lng Col. McBee's wife's nam into his speech. He would no mox dare to fling an insult in McBee* face on terms of equality than h would to tear that tree up by th roots. (Governor Tillman ha made a remark that Mrs. McBe was reported to have talked c quitting her husband becaus Governor Tillman had slept in th berth) Governor Tillman admittei yesterday that some of his friend went to Rock Hill on free {. a-:ses. Voices : 'Given by your friends, Gen. Butler then carefully -ool out his pocket pass No 1 in favo of B. K. Tillman and familp unti December 31,1S91, and signed b; Col A. A. Andrews. "Where did you get it, General? Gen Butler, in reply : I don' know if it's any of your business I have it. To Governor Tillman : I wan to know if you deny it? Governor Tillman : No indeed sir, and the man who gave it t< you passed as your friend. Great hurrahs and conside rabie commotion. I think he had better stop or this matter LIKE A THIEF WITH STOLEN GOODS When the Governor was caught with this pass he gave it up ano1 threw himsef behind his wife foi protection. Then Gen Butler begaE untieing a package of his rocks, but before beginning he remarked thal he had not heard a breath oi suspicion against Mr. Ellerbe. Mr, Tindal, Gen Farley or any of the State departments. Now Governor Tillman talks about my junketting and I've not been away for thirty days altogether But he went on a junket to CinciuLatt to buy whis key to rain down the throats of our people. Before I get to the Senate I will criticise Governor Tillman's Administration, and when I have any charges I shall be prepared to prove them.. J hold.in. my., hands reports of the State dispensary. (Great hurrahs and confusion.) I have a right to criticise a public officer. He talks about my having bought votes with patronage. Here is Mr. Hunter. United States marshal. Was he bought? Mr. Hunter spoke up : "I defy any man to say that I was bought." Here was another outburst of applause. Butler: I know of but one ap pointment given at my suggestion, and Governor Tillman is talking through his hat when he says Cleveland gave me patronage. He and I arc not in sympathy on the silver question. I have here a report of the dis pensary for the quarter ending November 1. Any of you can see it. Here the assets are put down at $280,347 27 and the liabilities at $280,347 27. If any of you count up the items you would see that it does not figure up on one side but $200,634 16, a shortage of $19,713 ll. Where is that $19,000? HAS ANY OF IT STUCK TO HIS POCKETS to bribe you? Let him account for that, and if he can nobody will be more delighted than myself. Here are wines put down without an}' prices given, and yet they call that an honest administration of a pub lic trust. Here is in one quarter $5,172 of wines and no prices. Whoever hoard of a public trust and a public fund being handled that way, and Gov. Tillman olaims all responsibility for the dispen sary. lie says Congress is bought and the Senate is controlled by Wall street. He charges absent men with corruption. I wonder if he stays there six years if any of their money will st ick t o his pock ets? But ho has and is perpetuat ing a deliberate slander when he is continually talking of bribery and corruption in thc Senate. I don't believe any of them can be bought half as easy as the mau who stigmatizes them, for there are from the South such irue, hon est men as Gordon and Walsh, and Yest and Cockrell, and Morgan and Pugh, Blackburn and Lindsay, and Berry and Jones, and Jarvis and others, against whom the foul breath of suspicion never has been hurled except by this man, who is hundreds of miles away. I repeat it to you. I am going back there, and by your votes. [Hurrahs and counter cheers.J My friends did talk of getting up a fund for me, but I refused it, and I borrowed some money. Gov. Tillman will never give me an an swer on the primary I have buen suggesting. I undertake to say that if he will go into a primary I WILL BEAT HIM THREE TO ONE. Here again there was a great hurrah for each of the candidates. I can beat him before the people, but I do not know what manipula tions he will be able to make be fore rings and conventions. Gen. Butler insisted that all he knew of the existence of the rings came from the published state ments of Tillman's friend, Senator Irby. The DISPENSARY AS A POLITICAL MACHINE. Gen. Butler went on to charge that in his opinion the dispensary law was rushed through to use it as apolitical machine when the campaign opened. Governor Till man had said be would not have the office in such a way. Voice: "He will play hell re signing." But when the decision of the Court came overthrowing the law, Governor Tillman was paralyzed, and BO were his force of constables and dispensers, and the whole ma chine that was being built up for his campaign. The Legislature, Gen. Butler argued gave Governor Tillman -$50,000 with which to open the dispensary, and yet, it is alleged, he bought more than twice that much liquor with which tu start the dispensary. This was clearly against one of the most sa cred rights in the Constitution for the protection of the people, that no official could use money except where specifically appropriated. It was a great outrage for him to have contracted any additional debt to that authorized in the appropria tion, no matter what the amount was. The wrong and violation of the public trust were equally great if the amount was $10 as if it was $1,000,000. It is wrong for any State official to be allowed to break loose from the constitutional moor ings. He. related how he saw offi cial cler?iB deprived of their money because there was no specific appro priation.- them.-* The-system is entirely too loose for your good. He thought it would be best for the Governor not to tackle anyone be hind his back, and who is away. Someone asked: ''Tell us what you are going to do in the Senate?" Butler: I don't know if I could satisfy you if I brought on the millenium. Then Gen Butler went onto de fend his course in the Senate and show specifically what he had done and remarked that the man did not live who could charge him with a violation of duty. Gen. Butler went on to say that he had ploughed twenty +imes as much as Goyernor Tillman and that he noticed about the only time Governor Tillman spoke about be ing a farmer was when he wanted the votes of farmers. CONFESSING HIS SINS. He then went on to say : I voted for him for Governor twice, and I hope the Lord will forgive me for it. [Great laughter all around the stand.] He then gave a hurried re view of Tillman's promises when going into office, and laid special Btress on the fact that Governor Tillman had promised to see that salaries would be reduced, yet he took good care the reductions should go into effect after he had gone out of office. He reiterated hisstatements about his being the only member ' of his family who had held office for forty years and the comparson as to pay. Ho paid a compliment to Col Geo Tillman, who was the other member of the Tillman family who had office. Then some one asked him what he had done in the Senate. I replied : I have not gone around blowing and bragging what I will do when I get there. I know the causes of the present troubles bet ter than he does. I have studied them better and longer. I know how they can be reached. I have some settled plans which is not abuse and chunking rocks. You notice that he ha3 no remedies to suggest to you, and abuses people miles away. Then Gen Butler had something to say about his being. "A SIMON PURE DEMOCHAT," and predicted that he would be in the party long after Tillman as he had been there before him. Ile said that he was not going to tear down the partypillarbyabusing.it and those who may be displeased with certain things that had been done, for instance the veto of the seigniorage bill, but that was no CONTINUED ON SECOND PAGE. CORRESPONDENCE [For the ADVERTISER. Our Denny Budget. DEAR ADVERTISER : Before your columns commence to be crowded with reports of speeches of those soon to level their guns in the cam paign now upon us, allow us to slip in edgewise another item or two from our side. We are very quiet politically speaking; no excitement; enthu siasm below normal ; every one it appears being settled already upon whom he will support. Tillman almost solid for the Senate. But ler, notwithstanding the pretty gen eral distribution of his "beauti fully gotten up" pamphlots in which he attempts to magnify his official services and to show the people that he has been and is a servant worthy of the benediction "Well done," is, to put it frankly, simply not "in il." We congratulate the General, however, on this little piece of modern enterprise, for had he not collated and published his official acts we would always have re mained ignorant of what he had done. Shows up rather badly though when one has to go to the expense of having his services as a public servant published and distributed in order that his con stituents may 'be made cognizant (if the fact that he really did do something. Of thc gubernatorial candidates John Gary Evans seems to be con siderably in the lead, with the latest one out, Tindal next. We hope for a quiet campaign ; ono of au educational nature in deed and in truth; with all per sonal abuse, little bickerings, and harsh criticism entirely eliminated, one with truth in all its beauty and simplicity as the guiding star, facts and figures as the chart, and honesty, old Anglo-Saxon honesty, for the rudder. Then may we ex pect smooth sailing and a safe anchorage. But enough of politics. The harvest is over.kl"About a. half crop of oats. Wheat a failure. The long wished for showers have come. Cotton will "get a move on itself." Corn, while having suffer ed a considerable drawback, is already "moving" and the farmers are jubilant. Our young friend John Peurifoy is just home from Wofford, looking as well as could be expected of a study-worn student. We also welcome home our lady friend Miss Leila Yarbrough, who after two sessions attendance of the Trenton High School returns looking as fresh as a full blown rose. A sad, and what was at first feared might prove fatal accident, befell Mr. L. B. Hazel, an estima ble citizen or our community a few days ago. While engaged in ceil ing the new Methodist church at Zoar, by a careless step he was thrown from the scaffolding and striking heavily upon some large timbers below, crushed his thigh bone and bruised himself in sev eral places. Dr. Kirksey being summoned soon re-adjusted the broken parts, and he is now doing well. Rev. E. P. Taylor, pastor of the Saluda circuit, preached a most learned and eloquent sermon on the judgment and its effects at Butler on Sunday last. His con gregations are unusually large and appreciative. He has a warm place in the hearts of his people. A bright future is surely before him. More anon. Bun. Denny, S. C. Something About Manners. "The easiest to meet in society." said the late Rev. Robert Baird, "are the crowned heads, and the hardest are the mushroom aristo cracy." As the representative in Europe of American Protestantism he met the sovereigns of Europe socially and qualified to speak of their manners m social gatherings. Ho decribed them as invariably affable courteous, and friendly, seeking out any guests that seemed constrained, and putting them at ease. De Quincy says somewhere that the wives and daughters of Engish bishops may be known by their nianuers. Unaccustomed to the honors of a peerage, they must put on airs to show their fellows that they have been elevated toa higher social round,or her or theirjquality will not be recognised. Of course this does not apply to all members of this class, but to the majority of them. If you go to a hotel or boarding house, you will find generally tha those who are most comfortabl circumstanced when at home fin the least fault with the table, th service, the environment. If the; arc not suited, they [go elsewhere if there is nowhere else to go, the; are too well bred to make publi their discomfort; and if they can not quietly improve their sur roundingSjthey bear patiently wha cannot be^helped. Invariably ' ; loud mouthed complainer is no ?s well served at home as in th hotel or boarding house wit! which he or she finds fault. Thi applies as well to boys and girls ii boarding schools as to adults ii hotels. There are not a few people wh< think it an indication of su periority to discover defects ii whatever they are pleased to re mark on. They affect the nil ad mirari in manner, and are founc of saying, "Nothing delights m< very, very much." In looking at i picture they comment on its faulti rather than on its merits. In lis tening to a concert the discord! catch their ear rather than the con cords. At a feast the dishes that ari; overseasoned or imprefect excite their comment, rather than those above criticism, and so in every thing. Such people will generali) be found to be either stupid 01 nouveaux riche. Your really fine ?end noble gentleman and gentle woman wear calico as though il were si^k, and silk as though il were calico; eat from pewter as though it were silver, and from silver as though it were pewter. Like Hamlet, they have "that within which passes show." So terribly severe a critic as James Russell Lowell says: "I would not advocate a critical habit at the expense of an unquestioning and hearty enjoyment cf literature in and for itself. Nay ; as I think the great advantage to be gained by it is that it compels us to see two ?ides to every question, it should, when rightly understood and fairly applied, ;tend to Jibeial i?y ?f mind -an d hospi t al itv of thought." This remark is as true and just applied to general cultur? as to literary culture, and to manners as the evidence of general culture. OFFICE OF S.

Quite a sensation was created in the Bluff Springs neighborhood, 10 miles north of this cit}*, by the arrest of Rex Myers, a well known man of the vicinity, on the charge of having attempted to outrage the person of Mrs. Wiley Robinson, ' of the same locality. According to the anti-dispensary papers the State cannot become a partner ina "monopoly of sin, in famy, and crime," but, for a con sideration (license), may delegate the sole power of engaging in sin, infamy, debaucher}-, and crime to another party, and yet bc blame less. Great are tho hair-splitting distinctions in anti-dispensary log?.'.-Ex. At the marriage of a sweet Virginia girl the other day there was a pref ty innovation. Instead of the orthodox bouquets, the bridesmaids, who wore" white organdie over apple green silk white hats trimmed with green ribbon and white roses, carried dainty parasols in Dresden desigus striped with bands of green silk. "Thsre be three things," says Bacon, "which makes a nartion great : A fe?tile soil, busy work shops, and easy conveyance of men and goods from place to place." Multiply the time of the sun's rising by two and you will get the length of the night. Multiply the time of his setting by two and you will eet the length of the day.
