penfield Advertiser ri?US. T. ADAMS, - - . . - KDITOR WEDNESDAY, JUNE 10, 1S96. Congress will adjourn 'his week. Ken'.ucky's voice is for Black bum. Boise is pronounced as if spell ed b-o-y-s. Chicago goes for free silver, and a?Chicago goes so goos Illinois. Kentucky has gone for free sil ver by a voce of two to oue, and so hus Oregon. The State Board of Control has juBt ordered 500 barrels of liquid damnation for use in the dispen saries. New York city drinks 5,000,000.1 ^gallons of whiskey, and 1GO.O00, 000 gallons cf beer every .yea:-. Ch you need'nt wall u?> your eyes -its so. Editor A. B. Williamsons given up the position on the Greenville^ Daiiy News and bas removed to New York to engage in literary '. ..work in that metropolis. Austin Corbin, president I thc Corbin Banking Corni-uv, with which our people had much to do, was thrown from his carriage al Newport N.'K. cn las! Thursday and killed. The cry of the g ?Idbugs for "hon est" .money. Thecrthodos old tim'1 Democrat us -d to call it "hard" rooney bet as silver is really the harder molal the lingo was chang ed to suit tho demands. Gov. Boise of Iowa is the most probable nominee o?" Ibo Demo cratic convention at Chicago for president, and he is decidedly the liest man to win, ail things con-, sidered. Tillman flabbergasted his chances by to$ much "bolt" talk There does'nt seem to bo a par ticle cf doubt that silver will con trol-at the Chicago Democratic convention. Tho New Yojk Her ald a gold paper, gives the follov ing figures. For silver 503; for gold 373; doubtful 34. So in any j e\->nt, no matter how the doubtful 34 go, silver will control. Boise is almost as far-4n tho lead for the Demoaiaiic nomina tion for president as McKinley is for the Republican nomination. In a recent speech at Des Moines Gov. Boise said he expressed con fidence that if the Democracy would make nnance the overshad owing issue this 3Tear and a brief platform unequivocally demand ing free .silver coinage it would carry all the south and west and Illinois, Indiana and Michigan. ; The Washington Post (mdepc n dent,^- introduced in its dispatch from Louisville on tho free silver victory in Kentucky. "Tho con -vention today proved tbo Water loo of Secretary Carlisle and per haps of Democracy in Kentucky. It does cot matter now about 'that letter' from Mr. Cleveland. Many men will always believe (hat he was waiting to see which way the thing was going and that had it gone his way he would have ac cepted thc nomination." Judge Simonion has just deci ded that the dispensary law is un-J constitutional in so far as it pro hibits citizens from buying li quors abroad and bringing them into the State by rail or otherwise. The decision concludes as follows: "The prosent Act gives to cer tain persons, the Board of Control, the sole power of. purchasing and importing into this State an article recognised as cn article-of com merce. The monopoly is vested ip them '>y provisions of such strin gency and secured by such extra ordinary sanction? thal "very oth er person of tbi.s State and all citi zens of other States aro absolutely deprived cf competion with thom", thus the products, as well as tbb citizens of other State?, are dis criminated against ani interstate commerce is destroyed." The Big Ones. The avowed candidates for thc United States Senate are John Ga ry Evans, J. L. M. Irby, Ellison Keifct of Newberry and Donaldson of Greenville. For Governor ; W. H. Ellerbe of Marion, J. R. Har rison of Greenville and Walt Whit man of Union. The incumbents of the other State offices will stand for re-election, D. H. Tompkins for Secretary of State, Jarnos N?r ten for Comptroller General, \Y. D. Mayfield for Superintendent of ? Education. Lieutenant Governor, W. H. Timmerman wilj be tho on ly candidate for State treasurer. Editor McSweeney will be a can didate for Lieut. Governor and a most acceptable ono, from all indi cations. Attorney General Bar ber will stand, again and so will Watts, for Adjutant and Inspector General. Character of Governor Boise. A gentleman fronrDos. Moines, Iowa, was in our cilice on Tuesday of this week a travelling man, of more than ordinary intelligence. We fell to talking of politics in the'west and of Gov. Boise, just now tho m?gt probable nominee for President. He said : "I know Gov. Boise (pronounced Boys) personally. H? is of i; different po litr'oa? party from myself and I shall vote for McKinley for presi dent. But tho good Lord has never made a higher type of mau than Horace Boise; he is as pure asa woman; and should he be nominated by the Democratic con vention at Chicago he will make a candidate 'against whose private character no man can say aught with truth. He is a no"ble type' of humanity and should he be 'elected Piesident will adorn the position-so far as character is concerned, as few presidents have done; he will bo emphatical ly a high man in a high place. At home wi1 oall him J*affidavjt,wBoise he-cause his honest, open face is an affidavit to everything he says." Tennessee Centennial .Exposi tion. This exposition in commemora tion of the one hundreth anniver sary of T?nnessi e's admission to 'he Union will be opened on May 1 lo97 and continues to October Sis1 1897. lt will be State, National and International in character. Tho st??ug features of the Exposition proper will come. from every part of the world. Tennessee will prop, ?rly eh?w her n sources and illus trate ber history. "A unique f ature" of the Exposi tion will be Iii?' buildings of the fraternal orders and societies. The Knights of Pythias have already arranged f?r.b?ilding their head qua: tors on the ground, and th*' Concatenated Order of Hoo-Hoo has also made a like preparation. This building will be in the shape of a huge cat ?sixty feet high, with a tail in .air* like the well-known mack cat of the order, Up the front leg of the big cat will run an ele vator, and in the head of the beast will.he an observ?t ?ry. We are under obligations lo Capt. L. Charl lou of lowir-a Ten r.eseoan by bil th, for a beautiful souvenir of this Exposition. Fr-un the Augusta correspon dre of the Columbia Stele wt rcfifiy the following interview vWntb Sensftoir Tillman : Senator Tillman, now better know as Pitchfork Ben, came d own from Washington on Thursday. He has been spending a few days quietly at his hom^. He will not return io Washington before con gress adjourns.. When I asked him about the boii?l matter he said he would not rep.y to The Times article ; he had no time to notice ever}' such charge '.made hy lying correspondents" of newspapers, and when the charges were presented in regular form by some responsible part}- he would answer them. If Governor Evans and Dr. Bates wanted to answer, all well and good. He said he was in Augusta cn route to Indiana, where he will deliver a series of speeches this week at Lebauuon, Carterville and other points. Next week he v iii deliver speeches in Kentucky, Senator. Tillman says lhere is nov,- no question about the attitude of the Chicago convention as to free sil ver. Kentucky's act ion made the result cocksure, ile says it is bound to be fer free silver from first to last. He is of the opinion that a Democratic national victory depends on the man placed at the head of the ticket. He say3 Boies is now considered the most likely man in Washington, but he fears Boies ?3 too recent a convert to Democracy to win. Ho gays the Republicans are beginning to show signs of great .?neasiness. Tillman does not talk of his own boom at all. He says the Chicago convention is ?'oing to be for IG to 1 all right, but the "bust is going to be made by the gold bugs." A Soap Factory^ Spartanburg has a soap factory. Here is what tao Herald says of it: . ' * "The Carolina Soap Factory is an assured fact. Right here in Spartanhurg there is a soap facto ry in operation that is turning out good laundry soap by the car load. Lp to ibis date o??y laundry soa*p is made. "Thc Caroline" is the only kind we Lave seen, but it is equal-to the "Octagon" which is considered star dard. The compa ny is now prepared with wrappers and boxes so as to ship by the car load. One advantage to the people of the county is that n de mand is creator] for all sorts of grease. Tallow will he bought in small or large quantities. This being a horne enterprise it should be encouraged. Tons of soap have been au hua) ly shipped ?o this market. Why not bry from the factory here and keep the money moving around at home? Give it a trial and von will lind it as good as any so?p on the market."

Jjuiuso*:, Agt. . Time to Speak. Por so verdi mouths, tho Green ville Nos, Spartan burg Herald and other State papers have been making serious charges with ref erence to the refunding of the State debt in 1893. The Regist-r has published the only answer to these charges, an answer which was much too vague and indefi nite in view of the specific na ture of the charges. It was little more than a general disclaimer and the reporter was requestod not to use tho name of the officer who gave it. It is high that Senator Tillman, Governor Evans or State Treasurer Bates gave tho public a more definite deina! of the very serious charges which have been made, for papers beyond th J bor ders of the State aro taking them up and ringing the changes upon them. Further silence on the part of be State officers who had charge of the bond deal will injure South Carolina and they should speak out plainly. The Register republishes to-day from the New York Times a long dispatch from Baltimore, giving an alleged his tory of tho rotunding transaction. It will be se?*n that grave charges are pre erred n gai us', Tillman, Balesand Evans, -with some show of proof. To let those charges g'i uiicontradicted will injure South Carolina's credit abroad and bring ber government into disrepute. Ii tlnV are not refuted, Northern capitalists will accept silence as tantamount to a confession of guilt and will tight shy of sending enpitaJ for investment into a State whose government they believe is corrupt. The Register does not be lie ve that there W?S the least crookodufrs about the .South Caro lina bond deal and hup repeatedly .-aid so, but must. romain silent hereat ter ii tho men against whom the charges M re ?nade choose 'o HI ?tow them to ;uncontVaiuic'erl. .".pocilio accusations requiresp< cif ic refutation, jim! ibo people of South Cnrolinv.
