And now it is alleged that there was a rebate allowed on tho corks and sealing wax. In the second primary Earle re ceived twelve thousand more votes than in the first; Evans received three thousand more. Ev^ry true son of Carolina must blush as he reads of the present disgraceful status of the Dispen sary. .It is all due to the fact that the Dispensary law instead of be ing administered in the interest of less drinking and les3 drunken ness, was made a political ladder on which to climb higher. "We do not think it good policy, good sense, or honorable warfare to keep on fighting after the victo ry is won. We do not believe in Hectoring it over a fallen foe; *hence we have nothing to say against Gov. Evans. We may say of him however as an historical truth that "He was stuck up, And in the very upness of bis stucki tude He fell." Old Edffefield Wanted Daylisht. "During the heaviest of the fir ing from Fort Sumter (1861) Col. Lamar, who was making a tour of the batteries on Morris Island, found one of the men needlessly exposed, but stolidly maintaining his position at a gun which, being pointed seaward, was of no man ner of present use. Knowing the man, (who was from Edgefield District), he called out: "Hello, there. Lloyd, what in thunder are you doing by that gun in the midst of this fire? Jump into your rat hole, man, quick ! ' But Lloyd re mained immovtiblo and looking asiauce at the excavation thus humanely recommended to his at tention, he slowly replied, "Not now, Colonel, the durned thing might cave in you know, and then, eome day after the battle may be they'd dig me out and be sure to say: "Well, ef here ain't Lloyd Mitchell, who run away from Ma jor Anderson and stuck himself in a rat-hole. Served him right! No sir-ree, Colonel, they put me by thisgun and I'll stand by it or bust! Durn your rat-holes when thar 's plenty of daylight."

CONDITION OF CROP WORSE THAN FOR TWENTY-SEVEN YEARS. Washington, Sent. 10.-The cot ton report of the department or ag riculture for September shows a decline from the August condition lof the crop, which was 80.1, to 64.2 ?per cent, a decline of 15.9 condi tion reported in tho last twenty seven years. The State averages are as follows : Virginia 80, North Carolina 70, South Carolina 70, Georgia 71, Florida 72, Alabama 66, Mississis sippi 61, Louisiana 60, Texas 62, Arkansas 60, Tennessee 61, Mis-' souri 81, Indian Territory 60, Okla homa 65. There has been a general decline in the condition of the cotton crop throughout the cotton belt in the past month. A few counties and parishes in Mississippi and Louis iana report fairly good crops, but the complaint is almost universal that the excessive heat and dry weather have caused the plant to shed leaves, blooms and bolls, and that where rains have fallen they have come too lato to be of mate rial benefit. The plant has conse quently matured prematurely and bolls have opened so rapidly that the crop is being gathered earlier than for many years. Some coun ties report lhat the crop will all be harvested by October 1, others by the middle of October. A few counties in Mississippi report da.n- j age to open cotton by heavy rains. The staple is much lighter than usual in consequence of drouth and heat and the shedding of k-ave3 and bolls will result in material damage to the yield from the top crop. The Dispensary Rottenness. News and Courier. Washington, Sept. 8.-The Phil adelphia Press to-day prints a long story from Columbia in connection with the Mixson scandal and the dispensary. Following the dis patch is an interview with Senator Tillman, admitting the truth of tho statement. Senator Tillman, in conversation with a Press re porter, admitted, with manifest chagrin, that the dispatches from Columbia, S. C., detailing disclo sures of improper practices on the part of officials connected with the State dispensary of liquors are probably founded on facts. Sena tor Tillman said that he ha 1 known foi some time that an investiga tion of such charges had benn in progress, In fact, Governor Evans had consulted him about them. "My advice to him was to search i he scandal to the bottom and punish any person found guilty, if officials remove them from office and then prosecute them crimi nally. At that time the evidence did not seem conclusive, but my advices received since seem clear er. The confession of Mixsou's son, if authentic, should ieave no doubt. There is no doubt that a great deal has to be left to the honesty of men who handle public funds. If they are honest they will keep themselves clean. If] dishonest they can get the better! of almost any system for a while. All we can do is to punish thom wheo detected.

It was a fight against Evans in the first primary, but in the seeontl it was a fight against infinitely more. All the powers of Ben Till manisiTi and officialdom were ex erted for the elect', m of the tat tooed candidate, and all thc aid which liquor and money could give to him was lavished. With out, these influences behind him John Gary Evans would have been beaten by fifteen or twenty thou sand votes. The editor of the State has s?en a letter from Tillman to an ac quaintance, begging him to do ev erything in his power for Evans and waining him that if Evans should be defeated his own reelec tion to the senate would be im periled. He must have sent out a great many such letters, for his signature was imprinted upon this one with a rubber stamp. Of his public mandate to the Reform vo ters to support Evans, we under stand that 200,000 copies were printed; and they were distributed in every county by dispensary constables and oilier official and unofficial runners. When in Edge field, Tillman, as more than one note from Trenton has informed us, canvassed personally among his neighbors in Evans's behalf. The result of this personal solici tation, however, was less marked there than elsewhere, for Evans lost one' of the two votes he had received at that precinct in the first primary, and Earle gained ten votes. As for the liquor influence, it was flagrant. The people cf this State so opposed "the rum power iu politics" that they cousented to the abolition of the barrooms and the erection of the dispensary sys tem ; but we do not hesitate to as sert that never in the worst days of the liquor license era was there such a flagrant and systematic ef fort to debauch the voters with in toxicants as there was during the last week. Either certain dispen saries wi.l develop mysterious shortages or thousands of dollars have gone to buy whiskey and beer to corrupt voters. It is not. neces sary to go into details, but it is a notorious fact that in this city and county there was a flood of liquor poured out on election day and the two or three days preced ing it. It went into the country by the load, and in the city it was used unsparingly. Reports to sim ilar effect come to us from various quarters. We are informed tl)at hundreds of dollars were sent to the Sand Hills->f this county to buy votes. There is unfortunately a large, venal element among the sandhill ers, and the vote for Evans shows who spent the money. Advices of attempted bribery by Slate liquor constables iu other counties have been received and published. There was a lot of money on the EvauB side and it was spent freely. The Evans circular letter went i to all the executive appointees There were some 2,000 of them printed, so we conclude that the number if officeholders sought to be influenced approximated to that number. Prominent officials in all the counties were enlisted and worked hard. State officers and their clerks went out as canvassers for Evans. The force of dispen sar)' constables was employed to ramify the State with Evans influ ence. It has been published, and not denied, that appointments of new constables were made just be fore the election in order to secure Evans workers at State expense. We understand that over 400,000 copies of the Tillman letter, the anonymous appeal for Evans and other documents were circulated about five to the voter. Evans had a force of clerks af work night and day seoding out his lit erature. In short, every nerve was strain ed and every device used to divide the people on factional lines, to whip the revolting "Reformers" iiUo the Evans ?ranks, to stimulate prejudice and to debauch the float ing vote. The State machinery was unblushingly employed, and it was supplemented by a large expendi ture of somebody's money. On the other hand, Judge Earle's campaign practically ran itself. Three or four friends gathered here and volunteered their services. Judge Earle was with them only one evening a.id took little part in their consultations. There was practically no campaign fund. Some 200,000 Earle- ballots and 30,000 circulars were distributed, but there was money for nothing els?. We happen to know that thcro was not oven money enough to provide in this city the custo mary carriages to bring voters to the polls. If as much as $2o0 was spent by any save volunteer work ers in the various counties we are greatly mistaken in our esti mates. John Gary Evans failed because the people were against bim and and not all the strength ol* Till man, and the dispensary machine, an officialdom, and partisanship, and corruption combined could se duce en'nigh of them fro .TI their position of antagonism to him. Had these agencies not been em ployed ho would have been buried under a mnjoii'y five times as groat ! as that which vanquished him. i'hat all the,?e usually potential] influences failed to save him ?sal oncea demonstration of his ex treme obnoxiousness and a Iribul . to the integrity and pat not ism of tho majority of the Democratic v > tors of South Carolina. Ail these efforts grained him porno 1.3001 votes above his total of Iii" first) primary, while Judge Earl do\i\y practically not liing to advance himself, gained over 12,000 voten. It is only by considering these! things tint tho real extent of the victory can*Le realized/ THE HEW JUNIOR SENATOR. Interesting Sketch of the Life o? Joseph H. Earle. Career of the 3Ian Who Has Just Beaten Evans and Will be the Successor to Irby A Man of Destiny. Below is given a (-ketch of the life and career of South Carolina's junior United States seualor-elect, whose election has been such a complete surprise to a great many people of the state: General Joseph Earle was born in Greenville, S. C., April 30.1847, and received his education at Sum ter, S. C. He afterward attended ?the Furman University at Green ville, graduating from, the latter institution in 1867. General Earle entered the Confederate army in July, 1864, siarting as a private in Charles' battery of light artillery, at the close of the war a part of Kern]?er's artillery. On his return from the war, as above stated, he entered Furman university. Leav ing this institution, he was ap pointed principal of the Chicks Springs high EchooJ at. Greenville, holding that position two years, studying law in the meantime. In April, 1870, he was admit ted to tbe bur before Judge James L. Orr, afierward minister to .Russia. Following his admission to the bar he opened a law office at An derson, S. C., where he practiced until 1875, when he removed to Sumter, at which place he resided and practiced his profession with R. 0. Purdy as a law partner for several vears. Iti 1878 General Earle was elec ted member of the State legisla ture from Sumter county and serv ed two terms, declining a nomina tion for re-election in 1880. In 1882 he was eleeted to Hie State senate fer four years, and in 1886 w<:S elected attorney general of the Stilts, being re-elected in 1S88. Pie was selected in 1880 as a delegate from South Carolina to the national convent ion which met in Cincinnati ami nominated Gen eral Hancock for Pres i tl nt. In 1881 he was selected as a delegate to the Chicago national convention^ wh ch nominated Grover Cl' w land, and was ono of the e. unmic tee selected, one from each State, to notify Mr. Cleveland of his nomination. He has also been chosen a delegate to the S'ate conventions on a number of occa sions. General Earle was married May 19, 1869, to Miss Anna M. Earle, daughtei of Baylis J. Earle of An derson. To them havn been born nine children, one dying in infan ' cy. The Christian names of those surviving are: 'Baylis H., John H., Eleanor M., Lucia PM Anna C , Joseph H., Lilliau and- Wilto?*-i_ In 1888 General Earle refused the nomination on the Democratic ticket for governor, not desiriug to oppose the re-election of Governor Richardson, declaring that if nom inated, he would not stand as a candidate; but in spite of his de claration more thau 100 votes were cast for him in tho convention. In 1880 he made a can vassof the State for the nomina tion of governor, but was superse ded by B. R, Tillman, who was nominated by the Reform move ment, after whose nomination Gen eral Earle refused to oppose him, though strongly urged to do so. General Earle's father was Elias I). Earle, who was born in Green ville, S. C., and there practiced law for man)'years, at one time hold ing the oiliee of supeiiutencle.nt of public works of the State. He was married inlSi>6 to Susan C. Hayus worth of Sumter, S. C., and they had eight children, ol' whom the subject of this sketch is the young est. The father died in 1842 and the mother in 1S49. Some years ago he-removed to Greenville and his home is now in that city. After General Earle made the fight against Tillman in 1890, he returned lo his home in Sumter county and resumed Hie practice of his profession. At. tho session of tho general as sembly two years ago he was elec ted circuit judge over Mr. G. E. Breazeale, one of the strongest Re formers in the State, by a legisla ture that was more thoroughly Reform than any before or likely to be again. General Earle was elected upon his merits and in consequence of the efforts ho had made to bring the white people of the State to gether again. This he now con siders his proudest and greatest achievement. He has had a re markable career. But few men, occupying the pot iti on he did in 1890, could stand where he does today without a blemish upon his character, with his integrity and honest)' of purpose unchallenged by any one. Asa ciicuit judge he has been a success. He has given uni vernal satisfaction. Saved the Babies. Mr. J, T. Mc Al ister. of Atlanta, Ga., says: "Last June Gernietner saved our baby, Paul, carried him safely through au extremely |Jil(j case of dysentery and teething, anti from u mere skeleton nf skin and bones, it has made him a great big solid chunk of thirty or thirty-five pounds."

The Chairman Thinks That an Investigation lias Keen Made Necessary. - MANY ADDITIONAL REVELATIONS MAY.BE EXPECTED WHEN THE LIGHT IS TURNED ON THE GREAT MORAI. INSTI TUTION. If what has been whispered about in the last few days since the revelations made by Governor Evans as to what certain people know about the affairs of the State dispensary be true, then the out side world may look for spicy read ing next- week bearing upon the big State scandal. The Stat? board of control has been called in extra session to fully investigate the scandal and see what is behind Colonel Wilie Jones, chairman of the State board of control of the State dispensary, yesterday notifi ed the four other members of the j board that there would be an extra j session on Tuesday night next. The | first Tuesday night in each month is the time for regular meetings. He was seen by a representative of the Slate and asked why ho was | ?oing to hold an extra meeting. Ile replied that in view of the re cent charges made b}' Governor Evans against Liquor Commis sioner Mixson he did not>oe how the State board could do otherwise than investigate the matter. There were charges and count.-reharges by Governor Evans and Commis sioner Mixson, and these naturally reflected upon the management of the dispensary, in fae', if charges lite those o'Governor Evans had boen made by any reputable citi zen it would rest on the bnard to sift the matter. This investigation Vr'?.s due the board itself, be said, and due the people of the Statp, and div"' also Commissioner Mix son. In answer lo tho question of what the probalde notion of the board vfould be, he replied that be did not. !:now. As chairman of the State board he felt that it rested upon him to assemble the board aud let it take whatever acti m it saw proper In his letter of noti fication to thc board lie made no mention of his masons for culling the meeting, but simply s!al? tl [hat ertain business demanded their immediate attention.
