But ler knew nothing of the operation un til the next morning. His foot was paining him and upon examination he found it had been eaten by a rat. Even the negroes of Edgefield Coun ty, the majority of them, are not in sympathy with Dargan. They say that he, Dargan, wants an ollice. Capt Stan Ryan says that he has heard a number of them say that "Dargan ought not to be allowed to stir up strife between the whites and blacks when we are getting on so well." The Newberry Observer says: "We liave had no sympathy whatever with the ideas recently expressed oil the hustings of Col. John J. Dargan, of Sumter, which it seemed to us, hada tendency to inspire the negroes with the hope that there is a possibility of social equality. Therefore, we bave no comments lo make on his treatment at Ed ge li eld." Altd so does the Lexington Dispatch : "The silencing of (Jul. Dargan was not a suppression of free speech within the meaning of the Constitution, out only the prevention of an incendiary from hurling his burning brand among Mitlam mable material; it was but an emphatic and effective protea against an effort tend?i g toward a conflict bot ween the races; it was but the strong arin of the law stretched forth to prevent riot, and the prompt action of the Sheriff and his advisers will receive the commendation of ev ery thoughtful man in the State irre spective of race or party affiliation." The Southern Cultivator says: "Sweet potatoes may be set out during the entire month of July, tlie latest planted slips making the smoothest and best keeping potatoes. Even the first of August, if the season is suita ble and the varietv, the quick matur ing kind, like the St. Domingo, the po tatoes will mature before frost. Vines can also be cut from the earlier plant ed slips which are beginning to run? and when planted in short lengths, one eye below and or e above ground, root very quickly." Work Well Done. CEDAR RAPIDS, IOWA.- "I suffered with Dyspepsia and Disordered Liver, and would frequently throw up bile.

The grand opening ball of the season at Glenn Springs on Saturday night What "Scratch" Said. County Supervisor Whittle, in our oflice on Monday of this week, said that we had him down wrong last week as to his actings and doings at the Dargan picnic. Ile says that he did not banter Dargan for a light but did shake his linger in his face and say to him these words : "If you want togo to the negro, go, but let me and mine alone. This was all said and done so far as I was concerned, and the state ment in Dargan's Asylum Gazette that I bantered him for a tight is a positive falsehood."

EDITOR: I beg a little more space to say a few words in reply to Mr. Bacon, of the Chronic?*?, 5lr. Bacon usjs s mie pretty strong lan guage denouncing those who might have acted so indecently in or near his office in tho presence of his nieces, but none too strong. He basjust cause for complaint and to denounce in the strongest language such conduct us he reports was perpetrated on that occasion, as every good citizen and Christian gentleman should. There is no man deprecates the occurrence more than I do, and that was the very thing that prompted the commit tee that waited upon Col. Dargan, at the Chronicle office early in the morning. They were trying to avoid such and perhaps other things which might have occurred of a more serious nature, if possi ble. There was no indecent lan guage used upon that occasion by either one of the committeemen. There was nothing unpleasant du ring the interview, nothing said or done as far as I could hear or see but might have been said with propriety in any gentleman's par lor and in the presence ot the most refined ladies-nothing at all objectionable, which each of the committee will substantiate. Mr. Bacon should have endeav ored to ascertain the facts before proceeding lo pour out his venom on innocent heads. He speaks of the committee as being a lawless mob of Tilmanites, invading his sanctuary, acting ungentlemanly in every particular, and holding them responsible for everything that was done during the day. That is, in my opinion, exactly what, is 'he matter with Mr. Ba con. He has let his prejudices run so far on what he calls "Till manism" until he has become a rebellious maniac, doing every thing possible to overthrow the State government. Every mean thing done is doue under the in fluence of Tillmanism, le would have you believe. I believe in do ing the right thing to all men al all times, regardless of politics. The people of this county know me too well to believe any of the vile epithets which he seeks to place upon me. He say fi, speaking of the com mittee, that anything we could give would not appease bis venom, but would contaminate his soul, which has already boen de monstrated, is that the spirit which should animate the breast of a Christian gentleman? If Mr. Bacon, ns I have above mentioned, really desired to have done ?be right thing and done justice and give fair dealing wi th every one, he would not have gone off in such a. frenzied manner. The truth of this whole matter is, that Mr. Bacon himself is more to blame than any citizen of this grand old county. In the first place, it was through bis utter ances in his paper about Col. Dar Fertilizers fi should contain a high p insure the largest yield an of the soil. Write for our " Farmers' Guidi is brim full of useful information foi will make and save you money. A GERMAN gan, when ht? saw that he was to speak at Edgefield, that gave h'm encouragement to come here, for instance, he spoke of him as "The bravest man in the State." "a man that straight-out Democrats could safely follow," ua represen tative of the true blue Democra cy." But alas, he invited every body to come to hear the patriot and" then deserts bb brave andi cherished friend at such an i nop-j portune time! He should have been there aiding and assis1 ing in preserving the peace and good or der of the town and preserving the body of his beloved friend from bodily harm, protecting and de fending h'.s nieces from insults and indecencies, and if unable to do this, he should have informed tho officials and the citizens of the town who would have gladly as sisted him. That is the way a true and brave gentleman would have acted instead of going two miles away as he himself says to see'an old wrecked engine. A pitiful ex cuse to offer. You can't fool Edgefield people; they know full well that you deserted your of fice and friend. Mr. Bacon, you ought to have postponed going to se- the old wrecked engine and have been looking after matters which might have led to the wrecking of our grand old county anil State, turn ing it over into the hands of scala wags and negroes-for which the people would in some measure hold you responsible. This is the type of the man that attempts with the stroke of his pen to brand as outlaws six reputable, law-abiding citizens, destroying, if possibh the good name they bear in the county which took a life time to hui i d up. However I feel sorry for Mr. cou; b^ should be pitied to some extent rather than censured for his past conduct, poor fellow! Iiis mind is becoming so clouded he only sees dimly theough his glass es and can't see any into the fu ture. CODICAL No. 1. In conclusion will sa}', that this reply is not written in that ma licious spirit as was Mr. Bacon's unwarranted attr.ck which elicited the reply. I would still try to ex hibit that magnanimous spirit of right and justice which no one knows better than himself is one of my chief characteristics. I will not cloBe the doors to all the ave nues, as did Mr. Bacon, when he said that "anything we could give would not only contaminate his hands but his soul," whieh may lead to a better state of feeling be tween us and also a reconciliation of our "vast" connection and friends, of which he speaks in so bold and fearless a manner, invi ting as it were their ill will to wards him unnecessarily. Pi or fellow, as I have already said tia is more to be pittied than censure?',. His prejudices have dethroned him of his reason. His mind is beclouded. He has sui cided his interest. Nothing is now left but the little frai!: sinful body which he carries and i would not be surprised to bear thaf- he had taken ;hat by his own haut!?. W. H. Ofz??. Edgefield, S. C., July 5th'95, 1 Card From I>. Ii. Durisoc, Esq. MR. EDITOR: I have read Sher iff Ouzts' card, published above, and I h< arti ly eudorse the same. It is a sufficient refutation of Jim Bacon's slanderous villification of our committee, but as the follow ing paragraphs, from an article I had also prepared in reply, are pertinent to the matter I will thank you to allow them space in the ADVERTISER: For three score years and longer Jim Bacon and myself have sojourned down the path of life together-from our happy school boy days, all along the ups and down of life, to ripe old age-but always, as I have ever thought and felt, with our boyhood friendship unbroken! And under these cir cumstances. Mr. Editor, it would hardly have been possible for Jim Bacon to have so provoked me as to cause me to make an attack on him so unwarranted aud un kind, and so totally void of truth, as the vindictive editorial in the last issue of Iiis paper in reference to the conduct of the committee appointed to wait on Col. Dargan whilst in his office. * * * The idea of Sheriff Bill Ouzts and Capt. Bill Stevens and E. R. Steadman and Pick Holloway and Elbert Ryan and myself, inva ding his private office and acting ungentlemanly ! Bah ! A far-fetch ed fallacy and a malignant whim ! A spiteful after-thought! And no one knows better than Jim Bacon himself that no member of that committee had the faintest thought of offending him or any member of his family. Nor did they do it, by word, deed or act, directly or indirectly. The committee went to seo Col. Dargan in the interest of peac?* and to keep down a general dis turbance; met Col. Dargan; made known their request to him in a gentlemanly manner; then quietly withdrew, and soon af'er dispers ed. The conference pass"d off pleasantly, and not one offensive word was uttered by one of the committee that the most sensitive and polished lady in the land >r Fall Crops ercentage of Potash to d a permanent enrichment e," a 142-page illustrated book. It . farmers. It will be sent free, and iddress, KALI WORKS, 93 Nassau Street, New York. could not have heard with perfect proprie1 y. * * * As to thp ugly conduct of tho half dozen young meu, (surrounded as they were by some thirty-five or forty lookers on) in jeering, abus ing and cursing Col. Dargan, we have no apologies to offer; but re gret the occurrence, inasmuch as some young ladies unfortunately overheard some of the rough lan guage bef-towed on the doughty Ool nel. But tho committee were in no way responsible for any ill treatment that Dargan received, as even bo by knows, and ho who says aught to the contrary, utter? a willful falsehood. Jim Bacon, in bringing his friend Dargan here, is as much if not more, re sponsible for the day's disturbance than any one else. * * * But enough. Jim Bacon's friend Dargan-the fellow who says "I for ot.e hrtve gone to I he nigger and glory in it," and "I lavor plac ing negroes on each county ticket," and wants negro wom<->n to vote was not pt-rmitted to disseminate his poisonous doctrines in Edge IHd, and departed hence, without bodily injury. The boys-"the howling devils" as Jim Bacon calle them-had a bit of fun, and went home happy. And therefore "All's well, that ends well." D. R. DURISOE. COUNTY Y. M. C. A. CONVEN TION.
