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 i*- 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 v 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. Bar'ier, who called upon the Rev. Mr. Child for prayer. He then asked for good -Sr^^-int^^ 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 tho 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 went 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 as 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 me, for I had 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 be 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 iE only behooves the farmers to keep things straight by watching. He attributed the " trouble of the farmers to national legislation. As to what he c( do, he as one of the eighty-e Senators would try to give, ei man equality and justice. I do justice for you and not sell yonr interests. Voice: "You'll sell'em (fa ers) in." Tillman : "I'l give everybod show. My oppouent will tell ; about my riding up in an ox ( with his tail tied. Voice : "Taint a Jersey bull.' Gov. Tillman went on to what he as an individual mern could do in the Senate, what Senate could do, and that cert members could buy in the wh Senate and not miss the mon Trusts and monopolies are nurt ed there and in the House. 1 people plough on while the Sen is controlled by the raouey pow I want to teil you boldly and fe lessiy that the Democratic part] rotten. Voice : "How about Weavn;?' Tillman : He's rotten too. I ? afraid he has too many isms a too many cranks around him. T; man sepmed to be somewhat afri that the whiskey ring was at wc iu this State. Voice : "Well, whiskey is migt high.'* . Tillman : I'll talk to you ou d pensary just as long as you wa He took occasion to reiterate t charge about hauling "boomei to Rock Hill, and again dubb them Coxeyites. This army, said, was run by the railroads, c< lected and carried from points North Carolina and one-half South Carolina, tapped by t Richmond and Danville Railroa They went there without payii their way ; they told me and othe so. I shall not charge anyone wi the outrage, but the responsibili rests on one of four-Senator Bi 1er, Mr. Cleveland, the whisk ring, or the railroads represents the money interests. Last year he remarked that ] rode with one foot on the Derne racy, the other on Weaver, and 1 nearly got split in two.. He, ho1 ever, claimed to have led thb pe pie to the Democrats and to Clev land. What have we got from hin Nothing. Voices: Hurrah for Tillman He went into Cleveland aga; and thought he was working again his interests, and said he was eg tistic enough to think Clevelar knew he was a goad on the ox, ar was intimating to his Wall stre friends that Tillman had better 1 left at home. (Hurrahs for Butli and Tillman. "You'll get there and "You won't," in reply.) But if Cleveland is not respoi sible then this whiskey ring don like our dispensary. Mr. Clevi land was straining every nerve 1 get him (Tillman) defeated. Clevi land would rather have Gen. Buth re-elected. In 1878 Butler w? about the only Senator from th: section who voted against free si ver. Then he injected a statemer that he was sure of election. H gave Gen. Butler credit for bein honest and poor. In Gen. Butler little pamphlet whioh he had sei he hasn't shown that he has don anything for you, boys. He doesn realize that you have gone beyon "Baker." He doesn't realize you needs as one who has sprung fror among you. He went over pretty much th same ground as in his othe speeches. He wanted the member of the Legislature pledged to hirr and no Mugwumpishness. He wa willing to stand before the peopl in a separate box. Whatever thi committee wanted he was willini to do That was not his concern but he was confident that in am way he could get a majority o the votes. Tillman was frequently inter rupted with burrahs and as surances that he would be elected and with counter cheers for Ger Butler. Governor Tillman got th< enthusiasm up to a good pitel and eat down amidst considerable applause. For some good reasor he called no primary. When GEN. BUTLER. was announced there was an 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 Yorkville, where he had the reply, be put an insult on my character that I permit no mau living to do without resenting. Gen Butler: Now, boys I pro] to talk. I']] give it to 1 [Hnrrahs arj cheers.] Gen Butler raised his vo walked across the platform said: He must take his pun ment like a man. He said ; terday, or if 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 wi to buy my seat into the Sem Then turning around towards 0 ernor Tillman he went on to saj say in reply that if Governor I man or anyone else makes t charge against me HE IS AN INFAMOUS LIAR. The crowd was dumbfound They looked at Gen. Butler ? Gen Butler at Governor Tillm Everything was as quiet as calmest sea. Then all of a sude there was an outburst of applai a mixture for Tillman and But! Chairman Barber asked for ori and Gen Butler continued: When he has charges to ma against me let him make th like a man of courage and tm specify and not indulge in the nuendo of a blackguard and bul Tuen rising up in front of 1 audience : The man nevr ? live who imputes dishonesty me THurrahs for Butler and Ti man.

Voice: "Were you at Bram Station?" Yes, I was, and I am here to-di and will be with the Govern every day, I hope I have not sor of the defects of character wherel he accuses a man behind his bai and the next day dtnies he sa it. Voice; "be'll do it every time [Hurrah for Tillman and Butler He talks of my friends being Rock Hill as Coxeyites. There one of ray gallant friends fro Edgefield. as true a mau as ev lived. He would no more unde take to tell that man he was tramp if he were on equal tern with him .than he would to fl, These men simply did not get tl permission to do as they please from "Marse" Ben. I did not pn vide these men with transport; tion and had nothing to do wit there coming. I could have ha nothing to do with it. Governe Tiliman perhaps thought he ha been bossing the State longenoug to think h? had a right title an interest it. "How about that blacklisting' Some one fired in. I had no more to do with it tha you bad. Then he went on : Goy ernor Tillman says I declined t make speeches in 1890. I do nc believe that committee ever mad the request in the first place. The ignored me and* GOVERNOR TILLMAN DOES NOT TEL THE TRUTH when he says I was invited t speak in that campaign. I wa systematically ignored. Gei Hampton went to Aiken, where h was invited, and was howled dowj by Tillman's myrmidons, and the; tried to disgrace and humilat that old man. I did not go becaus I was not invited. Then, too, ii 1892, although I offered my ser vices, there seemed to be a desigi to keep me away fjom the people There never seemed to be an] place for me. Governor Till mar eays I was elected because of the Hamburg riots, and that he toe was there. Maybe he was, but 1 was there and did not see Till man, and I have been told thal when the shooting began he could not be found. "How about Brandy Station?'' was again asked. I was there, but Tillman wasn't. Ile say s he wns too young, yet I had couriers as young or younger. Then Gen Butler branched oiT on the destructive genius line. ["That's McLaurin" some -one called cut.] Tillman points to Clemson and Winthrop as his work. I give him full credit for what he ha6 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 part in bui'ding and securing it. Why with the money I could build j another Solomon's Temple. . York vii le. GOVERNOR TILLMAN HAD TnE I DECENCY to lug Col. McBee's wife's nan into his speech. He would no mo dare to fling an insult in McBec face on terms of equality than 3 would to tear that tree up by tl roots. (Governor Tillman hi made a remark that Mrs. McB< was reported to have talked quitting her husband becau Governor Tillman had slept in tl berth) Governor Tillman admitti yesterday that some of his frienc went to Rock Hill on free raises. Voices : 'Given by your friend: Gen. Butler then carefully -oe out his pocket pass No 1 in fav< of B. R. Tillman and familp unt 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 busines I have it. To Governor Tillman : I war to know if you deny it? Governor Tillman : No indeec sir, and the man who gave it t you passed as your friend. Great hurrahs and conside rabi commotion. I think he bad better stop o this matter LIKE A THIEF WITH STOLEN GOOD! When the Governor was caugh with this pass he gave it up an threw himsef behind his wife fo protection. Then Gen Butler bega: untieing a package of his rockf but before beginning he remarkei that he bad not heard a breath o suspicion against Mr. Ellerbe. Mi Tindal, Gen Farley or any of th Slate departments. Now Governo Tillman talks about my junkettinj and I've not been away for thirt; days altogether But he went on : junket to Cincinnati to buy whis key to ram down the throats of ou people. Before I get to the Senat I will criticise Governor Tillman' Administration, and when I havi any charges I shall be prepared t< prove them. I hold.in. my. handi 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. Hen is Mr. Hunter. United Statei marshal. Was he bought? Mr. Hunter spoke up: "I def} any man to say that I was bought/ Here was another outburst o: applause. Butler : I know of but one ap pointment, given at my suggestion and Governor Tillman is talking through his hat when he say* Cleveland gave me patronage. He and I arc not in sympathy on thc silver question. I have here a report of the dis pensary for the quarter ending November 1. Any of you can sec it. Here the assets are put dowr at $280,347 27 and the liabilities at $2S0,347 27. If any of vou counl up the items you would see that it does not figure up on one side bul $200,634 16, a shortage of $19,712 ll. Where is that $19,000? HAS ANY OF IT STUCK TO HIS POCKETS to bribe you? Let him account foi that, and if he can nobody will be more delighted than myself. Here are wines put down without any 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 heard of a public trust and a public fund being handled that way, and Gov. Tillman claims all responsibility for the dispen sary. Ile 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 to his pock els? But he has and is perpetuat ing a deliberate slander when he is continually talking of bribery and corruption in tho Senate. I don't believe any of them can be bought half as easy as the man who stigmatizes them, for there are from the South such true, hon est men as Gordon and Walsh, and Vest and Cockrell, and Morgan and Pugh, Blackburn and Lindsay, and Berry and Jones, and Jarvis and others, against whom tho foul breath ol' 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.] My friends did talk of getting up a fund for mo, but I refused it, and I borrowed some money. Gov. Tillman will never give mean au swer on the primary I have been 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 heat 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. GeD. 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 he would net 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 so 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 to 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 clerk's deprived of their money becausethere 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 on to 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 times 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 stress 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 i of his family who had held office for forty years and the comparson as to pay. He paid a compilment to Col Geo Tillman, who was the other member of the Tillman family who had ofiice. 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 bo 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 Iiis 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 go! og 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 ADVEKTISEK. 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 beiow 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" pamphlets 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 it." 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 exDense 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 thc 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^(hjiryest^is ^oyer^^^bgrjn^^ 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 6ad, 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 largo 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. BUD. 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 thc sovereigns of Europe socially and qualified to speak of their manners in social gatherings. He 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 Engisb bishops may bo known by their manners. Unaccustomed to the honors of a peerage, they must put on airs to show their fellows that tliey 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 bouse, you will find generally th those who are most comfortab circumstanced when at home fii the least fault with the table, tl service, the environmenr. If th< are not suited, they [go elsewhere if there is nowhere else to go, the are too well bred to make publ their discomfort ; and if they ca: not quietly improve their EU rounding8,they bear patiently wh cannot bejbelped. Invariably ' loud mouthed complainer is ni Ss well served at home as in tl hotel or boarding house wit which he or she finds fault. Th applies as weil to boys and girls i boarding schools as to adults i hotels. There are not a few people wt think it an indication of si periority to discover defects i whatever they are pleased to ri mark on. They affect the nil ac mirari in manner, and are foun of saying, "Nothing delights m very, very much." In looking at picture they comment on its fault rather than on its mei its. In Iii tening to a concert the discord catch their ear rather than the cor cords. At a feast the dishes that ar overseasoned or imprefect excit their comment, rather than thos above criticism, and so in every thing. Such people will generali be found to be either stupid o nouveaux riche. Your really fin ?and noble gentleman and gentle woman wear calico as though i were sijk, and silk as though i were calico; eat from pewter a though it were silver, and fron silver as though it were pewter Like Hamlet, they have "tba within which passes show."

HOPKINSVILLE, Ky., June 20. Quite a sensation was created in the Bluff Springs neighborhood, 10 miles north of this city, 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 samo locality. According to the anti-dispensary papers the State cannot become a partner in a "monopoly of sin, in famy, and crime," but, for a con sideration (license), may delegate the sole power of engaging in sin, infamy, debauchery, and crime to another party, and yet be blame less. Great are the hair-splitting distinctions in anti-dispensary logo-Ex. At the marriage of a sweet Virginia girl the other day there was a pretty 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 designs striped with bauds of green silk. "Thsre be three things," says Bacon, "which makes a nartion great : A feitile soil, busy work shops, and easy conveyance of men and goods from place to place."
