Edeefield Advertiser / THUS. J. ADAMS,.EDITOR WEDNESDAY, JULY 14,1897. John T. Duncan is ale) a candi date, for the United States Semite, but has not yet appeared iu the jamborees. The Jewish organization in Co lumbia called "The Tree of Life" has determined to build a Syna gogue m that city. Dr. Talley, one of the ablest and roost d'otinguished physicians of the State, died at his home in the city of Columbia last week. Dr. Edwin C. Dargan has been elected President of Furman Uni versity. Dr. Dargan is a native of j Darlington, this State, ?md is at present a professor in the Louis ville Theological Seminary. tm Th are is a good deal of curiosi ty to know on whose sido Tillman will stand in the Senatorial Scrap now going on in this State. We apprehend that he will tote his own skillet, simple and pure. Mr. J. 6. Douthit, a member of | the Board of Control, and of tho special committee detailed to re? port on the chargos made by Mr. L. J. Williams against Chairman Jones, refused to sign the report j of the majority exonerating Col. Jones, ar d has now submitted his j minority report. The bears say that tho world's cottOD countries are now growing j a crop of 14,000,000 to 15,000,000, bf les, with fully two-thirds of j that amount to como from the j United States. They contend that the supply on Sept. 1, will be only j slightly less than last year, and that with the prospect of a crop I considerably larger, prices should | not be abo^e 6 cents. John Gary Evans entered the scrap at Walterboro and made a "tariff for revenue only" speech. The Columbia State says : "Mr. Evans appeared in a cr ash suit which he said he wore as an object ieseon to show the use of Peru:an cotton and how next year such a suit wouldcoBiHonore, thanks to the junior United Stat?? sena lieb th^JW^^ounty ie immediately resign ed as soon as the "cut off" was le gally established, ran for tho Sen ate in the new county, was elect. I ed, and now represents Bamberg county. "HOLDTIGHT" IS GOOD. The Monitor says: "Senator |* Gaines need have no fear that the interests of the people of Edge field would suffer him to tender his resignation at Senator. It may be true that few of Edgefield's pa triotic sons could cope with Sena tor Gaines, of Greenwood county, but in tue past old Edgefield has been in the habit of meeting every h emergency, overcoming every ob- P stacie, domestic and political. fc Though his resignation might en- ? tail a monstrous calamity, we are h confident a vast majority of our f people are willing to hazard the consequences. We might add here that the same applies-with over increasing impetus-to Rep resentative Wm. Holdtight Yel dell, also of Greenwood county? SENATOR HARRIS DEAD. United States Senator John G. Harris, of Tennessee, died at ^feWSfiJnWfij^ Thursday last. "Senator Harris was last in the senate chamber about ten days ago, but was unable to stay for any length of time, and had to be taken home in a carriage. During the past six months the senator had been unable to attend to his du ties only at intervals, having been away from the city several times endeavoring to recuperate. Probably no man in public life had been identified with more of the history of *this country than had Senator Harris. He had al most completed his 79th year, hav ing been born in February, 1818 and first became a member of con greas in 1849. His congressional career thus began earlier than that of any member of either house, antedating Senators Morrill and Sherman by seven years, and Hon Galusha A. Grow, now a member of the house from Pennsylvania, by one year.

Our sometimes level headed contemporary, the Abbeville Press and Banner, (and we are all level headed at times) has the follow ing to say of the last and the pres ent Senatorial campaign : "We have no sort of doubt that John Gary Evans lost his election because he submitted to personal abuse and iusult. It is fair to presume that he did ao, as he sup posed, in obedience to a public sentiment. In this he was mis taken. If he had resented the insults offered him at Abbeville the election returns would have been quite different-in this coun ty at least. This added to the fact, that Earle refused to take that sort of talk changed the pop ular vote. If Evans had defend ed himself as Earle did,.he would have been overwhelmingly elected on the first ballot That is our opinion, based on the evident re sult of the canvass at Abbeville. At present there is no sort of doubt that McLaurin would lead all the other candidates-even if he could not poll a majority over all. But if he proposes to take in sults on every stump in the State he will not be elected. Tne Executive Committees at the different places of speaking should demand the observance of the amenities, and failing to do so, the insulted candidate should hit somebody's nose, or quit the race." AN APPEAL FOB JUSTICE* Unrepresented Edgefield Asks a | Voice in General Assembly. The Columbia State. * To the President of the Senate and Speaker of the House Represen tatives of South Carolina: 1 respectfully call your atten tion to the fact that Edgefield county is without ber senator and one representative in the general assembly ; and, on behalf of many citizens, ask that you order an election to fill such vacancies, on the same day as that of the pri mary for United States senator. In the creation of Greenwood county it was found necessary to further mangle old Edgefield for that purpose ; and by so doing that portion that was required, therein lived and had tneir residences, our then Senator J. M. Gaines, and Representative YV. H. Ye!Idell. These are the simple facts. Now, when Greenwood obtained fall and complete county hood, ordered an election for her various offices, senator and representatives, jtfBtnoment, : and tho representa Edgefield county. It was not were legislated out of thJir posi- ( lions-they became vacant. j After being prodded by persons j in the public press from various sections of this county. Senator j Graines, after a tardy plea of con- ] ?ession, avoids thus:. I feel the \ iwarked position I am in as I did j aot expect Greenwood to become ] i full-fledged county so soon, and i low would resign were it not an election at present would be onor- ] ms to the people; that the ? >eople would not turn out j o elect a fit person, and urthermore, I can represent Edge- r [eld as well as any other citizen * although I be a citizen of Green- r rood county) of Edgefield. o Now to have the election as * hove indicated, Senator Gaines b as no prop to hold to, except j praiseworthy anxiety and sol ici- q ade for the dear people. r< I have a high regard for Mr. d raines-believe sincere, but mis- ii ad by overzealous or mistaken I rienda. He is a truly modest gen- \\ leman, the rarity of which, like ome precious stones, deserve its tl alue from that very fact; does ? ot olaim to rule the legislature, ft or to be the cock-robbin of all U ax bills. But he assumes (kind- rx carted man that he is) (hat thero re not enough men left in old fe ismembered Edgefield to fillJive* tl ost-they think so at lea^^mch p unices-the fact ift^*the woods ii refall qfju?^jadfare ready, will Bgah? eager to sacrifice them elves, and run to the finish at he risk of lightning and sun troke. Mr, Yeldell, be it known as to ll men, has at all times and on U occasions, shown his willing- m ess and readiness to do so ; and ingular to say Messrs. Gaines and P' eldell to whom Greenwood is in- 1* ebted for a slice of Edgefield, ol ad by which they cut themselves te ff, disfranchised themselves in Q1 urely Edgefield elections, and , ut themselves in Greenwood dl ounty. It is said that for and in al DnsideratiDii of his services Mr. w eldell was promised the office of 8V ierk of the court, but that the arty or persons were unable to sliver the goods. Now, we are to e blamed for this. Did he not A now that he was a citizen of reenwood aud bonce eligible to ic lid office when he ran ; or since tl is defeat has it dawned on him TJ lat he still resides in Edgefield.

The first m jeting of the campaign for the democratic nomination for United States senator to fill the place now occupied by J. L. Mc laurin hy Appointment from Gov. Ellerbe, was held here to-day and proved sensational in the extreme. It* opened, quietly in the opera house, which was only comfortably filled. County Chairman Pur ly intro duced Senator McLaurin as the first speaker. The senator's address was conservative. He paid tribute to the memory of Senator Earle and gave an account of his own political stowardship. Mr. Mclau rin was warmly received and sat down with the pleasing assurance of having made a good impression. Then the storm broke. Ex-United Senator John L. M. Irby was in troduced, and for three-quarters of an hour was enacted as exciting scenes as perhaps have ever been witnessed at a campaign meeting in this or any other State. Things looked serious time and again. At one time Irby and McLaurin were only prevented from clinohing by interference of those on the stage, irby in bis speech applied the se verest language tc McLaurin and be came to the front. When Irby rose the cheers for McLauriu were deafening. He made an opening sally, McLaurin made an apt re mark aside and the cheering was such that ?rby, despite repeated efforts, could not go on. Then whet" Chairman Purdy quieted tho crowd, he ?tarted out again by chargiug tte crowd with trying to bowl bim down. He said he knew that it was all fixed in this hot-bed of Haskell ism and conservatism. Pretty soon he said he did not care how many of these city henchmen tried to prevent him from speak ing. Chairman Purdy advanced then and said that it was their de sire to give Irby a respectful hear ing, and he asked that he not re peat that insulting language. If he could not be respectful they did not waut to hear.him, The com mittee was not responsible for the outbursts cf feeling. Irby replied that they had insulted him first. M'LAURIS* MJ.DE ANGRY. Irby went on then and charac terized McLaurin as a ri ng-streak hnnesty and with being guilty of the foulest COL *$fflf that ever existed in the State was now in . force, and t.lat McLaurin was the beneficiary. Finally McLaurin, who had ' ;urned pale, jumped up and faced I lim, saying : '-Irby, let's have an inderstand.ng right here. We 8 lave known each other some time, ? fou can't accuse me of dishonesty, fou can't insult me in that way." 8 The two men faced each other. , irby repeated what he had said md added : "I say further that if -on hit me you'll be hit back." " At this juncture Editor Appelt ushed up to Irby and told him be 1 rould have % reply. Chas. Emanuel n ashed in and said to Irby : "Mo ne but a coward would talk that 'ay.', Irby replied that no one ut a coward would insult a guest, fr. Purdy r,nd others got the men nie ted the bonse being in an up oar. Irby finished and McLaurin a' enounced the charge that he was ^ i a combine as absolutely false. l* rby retorted that he would prove al '* No other candidates appeared, w lough Irby said that other pledges 81 ould be filad, and feff'fast and fe irious moating..' ^nded, having 8i isted only or?? honr aud twenty ai linutes;/" hi Irjbyuinounces that he is in the m ffit to succeed McLaurin and lat be will make an active cam- cc aign for the senatorship and stay " i the race -until the end. WHERE 18 GOV. EVANS? Nothing Heard From Him at Charleston Meeting:. CHARLESTON, S. C., July 7.-The lembers of the Senatorial cam- c aigu party arrived in the city ta ist night, and, with the exception bi i Senator McLaurin, were quar- 00 ired at the St. Charles Hotol. A to. wi amber of friends of the candi- to ites call sd on them this morning ; the hotel and tba candidates ere kept busy shaping and an faring questions. During his stay here Senator cLaurin is the guest of Major . H. Mowry, Ex-Senator Irby was not feel ig well to-day, although better ian he has been for several days, be heat does not agree with him. he people of Charleston, he said, ected a monument to Calhoun, it now, if they were going to >te for a protectionist, they had ?tter pull it down and send it to ie people of the up-country. The --Senator is confident of his sue ss in the present race. State SOD itor ?, G. Mayfield ar red in the city yesterday to reit ) far the meeting this evening, e said this morning that he would ake bis debut at the meeting is evening. In response to a quest for nome 'ud?cation as to e line of bis campaign, Mr. ay field said: "I am going to discuss the tar ve di op an H til Li m St bu th Wi St uc lei wt ti( of tic th th hii dei cei r. nit i"i-iii!? ! Timm iff, money and the Dispensary, On the tariff I hold that the two great political parties keep a check on each other. .The Republican party has always plundered the people, The Democratic party has always sought to protect the rights of the masses. If the Democracy departs from the principles which have been held since tho days of Calhoun and condones on the ground, of equalizing it, there be comes to that extent a party wh.chj builds up one class of its citizens! by helping to plunder the other/ classes. We are all agreed on the money lines and I believe in ad dition that that we should have a more flexible system. I will de velop this system more fully later on. On the Dispensary my posi-f" tion is pretty well understood, i] will take a positive stand on. l:he/ Dispensary during the campaign,! on the line of the bill which I in-J troduced last winter in the Statcg Senate, and will discuss it at somei length this evening." / Ex-Governor Evans arrived iii the c.ty on the noon train, but es? caped the vigilance of the Regi ter correspondent. He had n^t registered at any of the hotel ncr could he be found at the plac he usually stays while here. Some said he had gone to enjoy the breezes on Sullivan's Island, au.l that is probably where he was. The campaign party will leave here to-morrow morning, for Walterboro, where the next meet ing will b'j held. THE CAMPAIGN MEETING. The ouiv thing out of the usual run at the Senatorial campaign meeting thin evening was the in cident between Ool. Irby and Edi tor Appelt of the Manning Times When Senator Irby got up he sail ed right into Editor Appelt, who was sitting in the audience. Col. Irby said he had always made i a rule in life whenever hit to hit back. He had been gratuilously insulted, and proposed tobit back. He did not accuse Mr. McLaurin of the wrong, and d.d not believe him guilty of such things. He said the insult appeared in an af ternoon paper, and was an inter view from Mr. Appelt, who was McLaurin's great friend. He s.iid he had no one following him about, aud did not want to have any one going around with him, as he could lake care of himself. He needed no striker. He sa d he noticed in an aftertioou papor an interview with this friend, for he must l e a friend as he was called "My Dear nppelt." (Much laughter.) Now Mr. Appelt had, without cause or occasion, offered him a gratuitu ou"? insult. He was among almost strangers, and be bad sarci and preached thal I would not carry. Laurens County. Now that was said to injure me, and when it is indecently and cowardly naid that I cannot and will not carry my, own county it is too muoh of ai good thing. - ^^m'r''' voj2iovred to maK?l fi BM.. +..?Hl?o <^l(he will deny it I'll stop;* ?aid Col. Irby. Mr. Appelt went on to say that ie bad been talking with a news paper friend about the situation ind bad jokingly said: "I'll bet rou Col. Irby does not carry jaurens Couuty." Mr. Appelt aid what he bad said was a joke nd was without malice or inton ion of hurting him or showing ny disrespect. Col, Irby wanted to know if be enied the interview. The audience broke out into ap lauso, many crying "Irby!" Chair. Barnwell said: That's Qougb ; he's explained. He meant 0 disrespect." Col. Irby answered the applause, ad then cried out: "Then that fe m tam ou nt to saying the report aB a lie." There the incident closed. Col. Irby went on to say that 1 he wanted was fair play, and tat he expected to have or die in ie attempt. This provoked much jplause. . ^. ^^w geaaWr Irby charged that lhere as a deep plot afloat which if ?ccessful would raise sectional leling and ruin Charleston. He lid be wes in the fight to a finish, id could not be bulldozed, and 3 would fight on. Tbe first ten leetings may demoralize candi ites, but when be got up into the luntry where the rivers ran, lings would bo diffeieut. He tried some ridicule on Mc aurin's record, and said he made is first Congressional speech do inciatory of tije apis tocracy of )uth Carolina and said in Berke V that McLaurin was even a eater Reformer than Tillnan, it to-night he was different. McLaurin had the crowd and mfiued himself entirely to the riff issue, explaining very fully s views and vote on lumber, Jgng itton and rice. These sentiments ok well. McLaurin is ill and ill be unable to go to Colleton -morrow. He bas a case ef se ire indigestion. State Senator Mayfield had the 8advantage of speaking las". He ?posed Mclyaprin's tariff viewe id called them "breezy nothings," e said he would avoid personal! )s, and was congratulated by Mc turin and others on his speech His Dispensary views were very uch applauded. He said the ate had maa> a failure in every isiness it undertook, and that e Dispensary as now managed is an unquestioned failure, Tbe ate Board of Coutrol were not lited, and the best thing was to t the people 3ay whether th9y mted prohibition or local op >n. He insisted on the benefits the restrictions of the constitu in to the sale of liquor, and said ese were of great advantage. Tho audience did not object to is expression, and applauded 8 views of letting; the counties cide whether they wanted't?o'li; rjse with restrictions or not, A message was read from John Duncan, expressing regrets at i not being able to be present. hi ai m P? ar al J> hi al th to 80 Aj tb co pr tel fn Mi Ec Gr po in tel sin cu i ab Mr. Evans was not at the meet ing, and sent no message.
