Bryan Challenges McKinley'.
Upper Red Hook, N. Y. August
20.-?-William Jennings Bryan
threw down the gauntlet to-day to
Mt?jor McKinley. It was a digni
fied challenge, for in it he refused
to discuss the issues of the cam
paign with any person except the
one that stands bis equal in office
seeking ambition. He was asked
if he intended to answer Mr. Cock
ran, and said in answer that he
was receiving many invitations
from prominent men to debate the
silver question. In order to avoid
farther invitation of this nature he
said he would not consider any
proposition to debate any ques
tion with anybody during the cam
paign unless a debate be arranged
between Mr. McKinloy and him
self, and he added that so far as
he knew no plan for such a debate
was under consideration by either
national committee.

MILL CREEK CO'S SECRETA
RY REPLIES TO MIXSON.
SAYS THE COMMISSIONER SOUGHT
COMMISSIONS ON WHISKEY PUR
CHASED, AND THAT THE DISTILL
ING COMPANY SET THE DISPEN
SARY UP IN BUSINESS.
Colombia State.
In your issue of the 7th inst.,
you published a letter from Com
missioner Mixson. Every word he
says in that letter about my offer
ing him a rebate directly or indi
rectly of -my amount or i? any
shape, or at any time, is'absolute
ly false from beginning to end.
He further states that "when
Mr. Traxler was commissioner he
discovered that the Mill Cr-jek
company was being paid interest
after 30 days, and each 30 days
calliug for more or bigger inter
est." This statement is also
falbe.
All the goods we sold Commis
sioner Traxler were sold on 60 days
or four months time, and interest
was charged after the maturity of
each invoioe at 6 per cent, per an
num, and so stated on each in
voice. I cannot understand how
a sane man can make such a state
ment overhis own signature, when
he knows the evidence to prove
him a falsifier is on file is the of
fice of the State dispensary.
The reason this man Mixson ie
so bitter against me is because I
would not employ his agent and
pay him a commission. Shortly af
ter bs was appointed commission
er, but before the business of the
dispensary was transferred to him,
, he gave his agent a letter of intro
duction to me. This agent said he
could get me the business of the
State dispensary and wanted a
commission of $1 a bal. on X, $2 a
barrel on XX and $3 a barrel on
XXX whiskey, and wanted this on
( all we sold the State. I told him
' the Mill Creek Distilling company
I furnished the capital to make the
I dispensary a success and that in
stitution owed us more than $92.
' OOO at one time, and the books in
[ the office of the oispensary would
prove it, and I thought the man
agement of the dispensary would
be cold-blooded and ungrateful il
I they did not give us a portion ol
^ their business without our having
1 to l,put up" for it.
i We did not get the business
" Now, I leave the readers if youi

T MR. MixdCN DENIES.
J Yesterday Coi. F. M. Mixson
3 State Liquar Commissioner, gav?
f.^utthe following interview in re
) p?y-tp the letter of Mr. Geo. Hub
i bell, prltiii^hed iu yesterday's Reg
r jeter : ^^-w^ - ' .,
1* *Mr. Hubbell sayS J h rereronc?
. to me : ''Every word he says aboul
my offering him a rebate directly
or indirectly, of any amount, or ir
any shape, or at any time, is abso
lutely false from beginning tc
\ end." Yet he does not deny the
i interview in the sample room noi
j my statement of what occurred
j Should he do so, and when he
does, then he is the liar that ]
j have already branded him in suet
r event. I now go further and say
' when the offer of the 10 per cent,
discount was made in the privacy
of the sample room, (he having
3 previously so peremptorily refus
' ed to give me the 5 per cent, off)
I looked upon it with suspicion
1 and hance the question, ''Will you
? let it appear regularly on the in
voices?" Upon his declining to dc
so and throwing himself behind
"the trust," I was fully satisfied
what his meaning was and conse
quently declined to deal with him
1 and have never done so.
1 In the matter of interest my let
' ter should have read interest be
' ing paid after 60 days, in place of
? 30 as stated. I now say that hie
. invoices for all goods bear upon
' their face ' interest after 60 days
. at 6 per cent, per annum," except
? on the XXX rye, which he bills at
? $2.25 per gallon, foui months.
' You must understand that the
' quantity of XXX rye is very small
indeed in comparison with the
quantity of the other which wap
; billed on the 60 days' time.
\ After assuming the duties of
; Commissioner a draft came in
from Mr. Hubboll's company,
claiming a balance of interest due
them. As Mr. Traxler had not re
turned any amount due them as
such I refused to pay for some
time and did not do so until I had
Mr. Hubbell to come out and had
Mr. Traxler to go over the account
with my book-keeper, Mr. S. W.
Scrags, who was soon convinced
that thero was an accumulated in
terest from partial payments of
aecounts due them amounti .g to
$1,255.34, for which amount I is
sued a warrant on the State Treas
urer, Mr. Traxler agreeing to the
same in writing, which I now have
in my office. Even if Mr. Hubbell
did not intend my putting the re
turn "cash" from the 10 per cent
offered in my own pocket, as is so
religiously claimed, he certainly
offered to act, must I say, in bad
faith in trying to beat and deceive
the trust of which he is au honor
ed member and, I am iuformed, au
officer, and in doing so he laid
himself open to be adjudged capa
ble of making any kind of a prop
osition. Afi -o the part of his let-]
ter which states "an agent of his
called on me with a le'ter of ?n
? troduction," and as tho only party
to whom I a letter of intro
duction was Mr. Robert M. Mix
son, under the following circum
stances: About the time I assum
ed tho duties of the office, Mr.
Robert M. Mixson, a nephew or
mine, who is and has been for the
last ten or twelve years the solic
iting freight agent of the South
ern department of the Louisville
aud Nashville Railroad with head
quarters in Atlanta. Ga., asked me
for letters of introduction to sev
eral parties in the interest of his
road. I readily ard gladly com
plied with his request and gave
him polite and gentlemanly let
ters to the following parties:
George Hubbell, Cine inn ati;
Messrs. Bloce, Acme Brewing Com
pany, Macon, Ga.; Penn ulass
Company, Anderson,Indiana; and
perhaps to another oue or two, I
do not recollect. What took place
between Mr. Hubbell, the secreta
ry of the Mill Creek Distilling
Company, and Mr. Robert. M.
Mixsou, agent of the Louisville
and Nashville Road, I do not know,
but this I do know, Mr. Mixsou
never intimated to me that his
letter was to be used fer other than
the purpose it was written, nor was
he authorized to make any propo
sition coming from me and if any
such proposition was made it was
without my knowledge.
Immediately on reading Mr.
Hubbell's letter I wired Mr. Rob
ert M. Mixson asking lum what
occurred between himself and Mr.
Hubbell that in any manner rela
ted to me, and herewith I give you
his reply. Mr. Hubbell' statement
JU reference to my sending him an
agent to negotiate bears badly on
his side for after refusing to give
the agent as he slates $1 for X, $2
per barrel for XX, and $3 per bar
rel for XXX, he himself offers me
$11.25 per barrel for XXX and
would not conseut to put it on the
invoices.
Besides, had I any intention of
such a deal I would have been
more discreet and not allowed a
third party tho knowledge nor a
pait of the deal.
I dislike very much to be forced
to inflict all this upon the people,
but it would be suicidal to be si
lent when struck and however dis
agreeable it may be for me to
make these appearances in print
the people may rest assured when
I strike back when struck.
The Cotton Outlook.
Riordan & Co., of New York, tho
emiuent cotton experts, have the
followiug to say of cotton :
New York, Aug. 22.-The week
closes without any adequate relief
from the long and seveie drought
that has blighted the colton which
in June gave so fair a promise ot
? an enormous yield. The market
; today wa6 extremely nervous iu
? the fluctuations. Liverpool reports
1 were disappointing to the bulli
and opening prices here were aboul
'. 8 points lowei. January opened at
8.36, but soon advauced. In an
hour the market had become strong
and January sold up to 8.50. Just
then, upon telegrams announcing
indications of min in Texas, thor*
was some heavy selling, and Janua
ry declined to8.36; but !he offer
\ ings at the decline were quickly
absorbed and the close was steady
. with January at 8.69@8 40. Af
. the end of the cotton year ap
proacho8 the difference^e^gfiej
" itug'u'sTmm^De later mordhs ii
I melting away, as we expected. The
r advance in prices finds the mar
, ket in a peculiar position. The
. traders here having until very late
) ly little faith in the serious char
? acter of the crop disaster, were all
f short of cotton. These have ut last
become thoroughly frightened and
? have covered their ventures at a
[ thumping loss. On the other hand,
i there is a marked absence of those
. vast pyramids of long cotton built
up by southern speculators with
; which the market was so topheavy
r lait August, and which ended in
.' the memorable October collapse,
Thus Ihe market at the moment is
ueither oversold nor overbought,
and cotton in tho immediate fu
, ture is likely to rise or fall upon
, it? merits alone, and in obedience
to the law of supply a?d demand.
The trade seems undismayed by
, the tremendous volume of the ear
ly receipts, and judging from the
brisk demand for now cotton, spin
, uers realize that the unprecedent
ed receipts portend a short pick
? ing season and a coming scarcity
, of the staple. We think cotton
will gradually go higher, though
, frequent reactions are to be ex
pected. We see no reason to change
our advice last week-don't sell
cotton, except to take profits ; take
advantage of every break to buy
as much as you feel able to protect
' against adverse fluctuations.
Would be to His Honor.
What is the significance of Sen
ator Tillman's visit to the Popu
list nominee for Vice President,
Thos. E. Watson? The su gestion
that arrangements were made by
which Watson is to receive the
electoral vote of South Carolina is
not entitled to any credence. The
goods could not he delivered, and
Senator Tillman would not at
tempt such an impracticable
scheme, unless he has lost his po
litical balance. It is more ;han
probable that the visit was to in
duce the withdrawal of Watson, as
the Senator had been in consulta
tion with the Democratic leaders
last week in New York. It would
be a feather in his cap if he could
get Watson to withdraw, and there
by fuse all the elements in behalf
of free silver, making truly a solid

A Change for the Better.
Waltham, Mass., Aug. 20.-The
American Watch company posted
a notice at the factory this morn
ing announcing fiat that the fac
tory would close tonight and not
reopen until September 1.
President Fitch stated that the
(shutdown is due entirely to the
present agitation of the silver
question, A similar notice was
posted at the Boston Manufactur
ing company. The time of the
shutdown here was extended to
September 28.
Superintendent Bailey said that
the business depression was so
great that the company could not
possibly continue business until
there was somo chango for the
better.
O*-" .ss ion er Nesbitt Says at
Least 30 Per Cent.
Colonel R. T. Nesbitt, the Geor
gia State commissioner of agricul
ture, was asked for a carefu? esti
mate of the damage to the crop
from the heat and drouth. He
said that he believed it had al
ready amounted to 30 percent, in
this State. He estimated the crop
at but 7,500,008 ba1 es, where near
ly 11,000,000 was expected less
than a month ago.
"I have but recently returned
from a visit t:? several parts of the
Statft, where I took particular pains
to examine carefully into the ag
ricultural conditions which exist
ed, I found the weed of the plant
almost lifeless and limp. This
was due to the effect of the exces
sive heat and drouth, which came
upon ihe plant when it was unu
sually full of sap.
.'Three weeks ago the cotton
crop was the most promising that
has been seen in Georgia in many
a year. In fact, I have never in
my life seen the outlook so favor
able. There was a very early
crop planted that is now being
picked, but this part o? the crop
was small in comparison to the
amount planted later. The major
part of the crop was planted after
good showers had fallen, later in
the season, and this part of the
crop was in full sap when the h.>t
spell came on. It was the major
portion of the crop; consequently
it suffered most.
Tillman and Watson.
In the Atlanta Journal article
about the recent visit of Senator
Tillman to candidate Watson there
occurred this interpretation of the
visit: "Leading Populists who are
in closo touch with Watson say
to-day that the arrangements were
made by which Watson will re
ceive the electoral vote of South
Carolina."
There, was some talk about this
to-day. and while many thought
the goods could be delivered to
Watson if needed the general ini
pression SCPIUS to be that no such
proposition or deal has been made.
There is no need for it. Nothing
. has been h? ard hereon tha* line,
and such a deal bren on hand
there would have been something
. heard at this end ot* the line, More
over. Senator Tillman was a mem
ber of the Convention that nomi
nated Sewall ; he voted for Se wa ll
and is now a mern ber of the na
tional committee, charged witb
; the election of Bryan and Sewall
' No faith is pluced in the idea thal
\ Tillman favors Watson, but ht
1 likely had so.ne offer to make hin
\ from the national committee.

sion on the money question. We
were going it in a quiet, gentle
1 way, v hen suddenly a peaked face
was poked out of a berth, and a
penetraing, rasping voice said:
"This is a sleeping car, not n po
litical car. I don't see why you
gentlemen do not refrain and
' leave your fellow passengers alone.
That broke the monetary discus
sion, and we went to bed," contin
ued Senator Tillman.
Thc Candidate at Home.
It is always very touching when
one of these newly nominated can
didates for the Presidency strikes
the town where he spent his child
hood days. That was what William
Jennings Bryan did recently,
Thoughts of the old cow pasture
and the swimming hole must have
filled his mind and choked his ut
terance as he stood before the old
boys ho used to fight and the girlf
he used to kiss when th'? Ilinois
sun was low aud dsar old Salem
lay like a pearl on the bosom ol
the prairie. Ah yes! Those were
happy days, and there was never s
candidate for the Presidency whe
wouldn't rather be a boy again.

also beaten frightfully. Officers

Returns.
STATE ELECTION.
The daily newspapers of this, Wed
nesday morning;, while the returns are
not full, indicate that Earle is elected
over Evans by a vote of two to one.
While we do not believe that the ma.
jority for Earle, is so great, it is high
ly probable that he is elected.
Ellerbe is elected Governor.
McSweeny (probably) Lt. Governor.
Timmerman State Treasurer.
Tompkins Secetary of State.
Richbourg (probably) Adjutant-Gen
eral.
Wi]oom h. IL Commissioner.
Barber Attorney-General.
Norton Comptroller-General.
Mayfield Supt.Education.
Thurmond is ahead for Solicitor, but
there may be a second race to deter
mine the matter.
Up to this writing we have returns
from enongh boxe3 in the county to
indicate who are elected to the various
county offlces :
State Senate-It is probable that
Gaines and Townes will have to run
this race over, neither of the candi
dates having received a majority of
the votes cast.
The names of those elected to the
House of Representatives are, proba
bly in the order named :
Thos. H. Rainsford,
S. McG. Simkins,
W. H. Yeldell.
Sheriff-W. H. Ouzts.
Auditor-J. B. Haiti wanger.
School Commissionej-A. R Nichol
son.
For the otlice of County Supervisor,
Talbert, Dorn and Kidson lead of these*
two will have to make a second race.
The Clerk's race is very close, so close
that it will take au olllcial count to de
termine the result. This oflicial count
will be made tomorrow, Thursday.
Mays and Morgan will probably
have to make a second race for the of
fice of County Treasurer.
In this county Earle beats Evans
