Massachusetts people are in commuication with the state authorities about securing land in south Carolina for the settlement of a colony of people from that state. Ex-President Cleveland hae been made an L. L. D. by Princeton * College. The same honorary title has been conferred on McKinly and Bryan by a less celebrated institution. Clemson College has not been fortunate under the administra tion of President Craighead, conse quently his resignation is a relief to the friends of the institution who hope his successor will bring prosperity to the college. ?Since the hot weather set in there haye been thousands of pros trations from the heat, many re sulting in death. Northern cities have suffered most, the South be ing almost exempt from fatalities. It is proposed to erect some where in ,:be Southern States a monument to Southern women, whose patriotic and unt iring efforts have raised so many shafts to peipetuate the memory and deeds of Southern men. The dispensary shortages thus far reported aggregate of $20,000. What a blessed thing- it is that there are always so many uouts" to watch the "ins," otherwise short ages would bo much more frequent and heavy. The committee in charge have determined that the State Fair this fall shall surpass in grandeur . all that have been hitherto held. 1 Bicycle displays and contests will , be a new feature as will also a department for dairy products and i utensils. ] ? i We read in the Ineuiance Her- i aid that "the basis rate on frame ( dwellings iu Iowa has just been i reduced from 50 to 40 cents." In 3 this State the basis rate cn frame i dwellings is 100 cents on the hun- 1 hundred dollars. Now, we would like to know why we Southern ( people have to pay twice as much \ for fire insurance as do our West- i ern brethren? t There is a lively demand for ! spot cotton for homo consumption ? in South Carolina towns. Orders t have been placed at all the centers in the State and it nas been hard 0 to fill them. During the last few [ days two agents for Spartanburg ^ mills have purchased 2,250 bales p sn Charleston alone, the stock * in the smaller tcv?ns being pro ?ti- F cally exhausted. A Washington .correspondent' ( oi: an exchange writes this of i Senator Tillman : ' One of the familiar sights once I Uten never tobe forgotten is the) fe-... trio aa BoloDB who are in the habit of wending their homeward way on wheels in company. The most conspicuous of the group is Senator Tillman, who as all the world knows has lost one eye. In bis broad brimmed hat and queerly cut, country looking clothes he looks the veritable farmer and the rough and ready individual his words and actions proclaim him to be. All the more does Mr. Tillman appear the countryman by comparison with his two companions of whom one is the sedate and dignified senator from Georgia. Augustus 0. Bacon pedaling along with the utmost propriety beside him. Senator Chandler as prim and precise as usual, completes the trio, and he is always diligently occupied with his efforts to keep his eyeglasses on his nose as the three celebrities go wheeling up the avenue." THE OUTLOOK. R. G. Dun & Co., say in their weekly report of Saturday last : "Except the great miners strike, which may terminate at any time, there is scarcely a feature of the business outlook which is not en couraging, the aeason considered. Crop prospects have been improved by needed rains in some regions and foreign advices continue to promise a large demand." Thc Meaning: of the Term ''Orig inal Package." The State authorities do not seem to have any further doubt as to what the exact meaning of the term "original package" is in view of the reference to the agit*ment of counsel on both sides as to the definition of the term made by Judge Si mou ton in his last deci sion, and are confident that the propositions in regard lo the term made by toe attorney general in his argument will stand the test. But all the same there is a great deal of speculation among tnose who are contemplating opening original package stores. They had expected Judge Simonton to fully define the term. But no doubt the court will soon have an opportunity to make the matter clear in so many words. Yesterday morning a citizen of Chester, acting as agent for par ties residing outside the State, opened an original package store in that town. He opened up at 7 o'clock ; by 8:30 the State of ficers had seized his stock and stored it in the county dispensary and the proprietor was in a. mag istrate's office to answer to the charge of violating the dispensary law. This case will bring the matter up squarely before the court, no doubt, for the proprietor got his liquor in bottles in cases, broke thfe cases and begun the sale of the individual bottles. The situation ie quite interest ing just now as to the liquor traf fic in this State. Judge Simon ton's decision lias let down the bars for competition for the dis pensary. The State intends to take an appeal at once to the Uni ted States supreme court. It is hard to tell what will be the fate of the dispensary in the interim. If the appeal is taken no matter how the case is advanced upon the docket a decision can hardly be expected before next spring. Yestarday morning Attorney General Barber returned to the city. He was greeted with the question: "What is an original package now?" The reply was : "Judge Simonton has not said in this case what he considered an original package, but he has said that at the hearing it appeared that there was no difference of opinion between counsel as to what constituted an original package. From this I infer that if his honor enterai ns views as to what constitutes an original package different from those submitted by counsel on both sideB he would have said so in his opinion. In this connection you might publish the propositions announced by myself in my argument of the cass and conceded by Mr. Nathans, the counsel for the petitioner. These are the propositions as stated by Attorney General Barber in his argument : "What is an original package? From all the cases we announce the following propositions. "I. Any package containing five gallons or more, when imported by a manufacturer or rectifier and wholesale dealer, to be an original package, within the meaning of law nust bear the stamps and brands required by the revenue laws of ;he United States. "II. Any package containing lees than five gallons put up by a manufacturer or rectifier and i Y h ol es ale dealer is an original ( package, without stamps and ' Hands, so long as it is exactly the j condition in which it is mported. 1 "III. When liquors are put up n bottles and a nuber of bottles } ire packed in a box or case, it; is ( he original package. "IV If bottles are shipped in < lars packed in straw or otherwise, . ach bottle cannot be considered ( an orignal package and sold as luch." It is thus seen that the policy f the State will be to give the ight to get original packages of iquor in stamped flasks shipped rithin the State in carload lots >acked in straw.-Columbia State. !

C., July 15.-1 largest and liveliest meeting of 1 campaign was held here to-d Between 400 and 500 people w present. The usual routine x broken when Senator McLaur following Colonel Irby, went the later's career in the Senate. l\ Luarin, armed with the Cc gressional Records of the Fifi second and Fifty-third Congress frequently brought Irby to his f to make Jexplantions. COLNEL IRBY. Colonel Irby, the first speak was greeted with some appian He was in Edgefield for the fi time since 1890, said he, to see 1 reception of the people,s gr? tribune, Ben Tillman. He i here then fighting combinatio and waa here now fighting t '.State House gang," which was J tempting to parcel out the offic of this State from Senator down croner. "I am running as a dem erat," declard Ireby. "I am t enly original package in the lot McLaurin has patented his speec At Beaufort he wanted pr o iee ti? on rice, at Charleston on rice ai long staple cotton, and so for eve conuty, but he didn't think he hi a patented protection speech f Edgefield. McLaurin had ti people fooled. He is not on tl same platform as Tillma Tillman bad ? blared he wasn't. I declared that cLaurin had goth Gonzales for ? political dade and the world s't beat him. I then declared ne and Ti I lmr were the polite:, addies of all the candidates, but thought thi were treating him with disrespei by opposing him. He had been political! assassinated and thrown cut fi dead because ha resisted the gre; conspiracy last year against th democratic party. He was a dem erat, always had been and cou] be nothing else, because he was fe the interest of the people. Colonel Irbv then attacked Mi Laurin's tariff views, declarin that Tilliman had said they wei iniquitous, and "I know you wi believe him if you won't mi You people here love him an believe what he says." Colonel Irby attacked the news papers. He declared that Mi Gonzales had prevented Conservative from entering thi race. Mr. Gonzales had calle? him a liar in to-day's papei which was unparliamentary; m one usually called him that whei close to him, however. He attackec the Forty movement. He bei ie vet that every white man should bi allowed to vote and therefor) disapproved of the con stiutona suffrage clause. Colonel Irby made the assertior that he and not Tillman had made Evans Governor. He with Tillman, he de dared, had Saluda made into a county and left Edgefield Conservative with Sheppard to run it. Reviewing past political history, Irby asserted that last year he could have gone to the Chicago convention as a delegate. Gantt, said he, came to him at 2 o'clock a. m. and said that the State convention had left a place open for him. He sent word back that he would not accept becausejbe was unalterably opposed to the declared bolting policy of the party. Editor Ball next came in for praise for coming out against the newspaper combination at Columbia. The Ellerbe-Watts episode was repeatrd but elicited no applause. He declared that he could prove that the "State House clique"were goiDg to turn out Mc iver and that Tillman knew they were plotting against him. He concluded by reviewing his record and declaring that he had always been with the people, Col. Irby was wildly applauded when he took his seat. He kept the crowd in a good humor and they listened attentively. SENATOR MCLAURIN. Senator McLaurin begau by reviewing his record as a Reformer. The Reform movement, he declared, did not depend on the life of any man, not even that af Tillman. He jumped on Irby for Haying that he nade Tillman rapport Evans for Governor. He thought it time for a Reformer to step in when a man like Irby boasted that he made the Governor. 'Who ought to make the Governors ! >f South Carolina, the white voters >r John Irby?" Irby, from his seat-"The whiie i roters." I "But you said just now that you ? nado Evaos Goyeroar." i Irby ; "Well.J I helped (Laugh- i ter.) McLaurin attacked him for < levisiog the Colleton plan in order t JO foist Evans on the people when: f hey didn,t want him. Senator Mo- i taurin caused much merriment by ( laraphasing Henry IV, substitut- v ng Irby for Falstaff, Evans for t *rince Hal and Larry Gantt for a 5istol in the aoone where Prince r lal becomes king and ignores a falstaff. I He had no political daddy, A ie declared, but ne.did not know j ti . , . i ni in rr ul lim wu before that Editor Ball was acting in that capacity for Col. Irby. Mr. .Rall hotly ?interrupted, saying that he was the political daddy of no man and was opposed to Irby. "Well, you are not for me." "That's true, too," rejoned Mr. Ball. Senator McLaurin then proceeded to severely attack Irby's record while in the Senate. Before beginning he explained the terms "paired" and "vote called." Irby's record for the first session of the Fifty second for the first 8espion of the Fity-second Congress was as followp: Votes taken, 89. Irby voted 13 times, paired 10 times, not paired 66. The first session of the Fifty third Congress, he said, was called to repeal the purchasing clause of the Sherman act. Sena tor Irby's love for silver should be seen in his record during this session, 'lhere were 49 votes taken; Irby voted 19 times and did not vote 30; was not paired 22 times ; did not answer to call of Senate ll calls. Col. Irby's record for this Congress was gone into further. Senator McLaurin then declared : "I am sick lokiugupsuch a record. Here was a life aud death struggle for silver and absolute indifference as to its fate." As to his absence from the Fifty third Congress. Col. Irby expaiined by Baying that he and Senator Butler absented themselves to break a quorum and keep the Senato from repealing the Sherman purchasing clause. It was a filibustering measure. He was always on hand to cast his vote. As to his absence from the Fifty-second Congress, Col. Irby said that was a Presidential elect ion year and he was at home as State chairman looking after the interest of the party. "You all know the Conservatives didn't know they were whipped, aad they were whipped, and they were planning to capture the May convention. Tillman was runuing for reelection. We wanted the delegates to the Chicago convent ion. I was sent there, and this passing back and forward accounts for much of my absence." Besides, continued Col. Irby, be was paired on all positions. On other questions his "pair" would always ascertain by telegram how he stood. Senator McLaurin again le'urn?d to the Congressioal Reco.td. After a little he asked : "Do you want to elect a man to the Senate to represent the State and then let him absent hmself to run all the State?" Irby-"I have quit that now." "Yes. because the people have quit you," answend McLaurin. Col. Irby, getting permission to interrupt ?Senator McLaurin, jumped on him for his affiliations with so many parties. He ' again excused his absences from the Senate on the ground of sickness and death in his family. Senator McLaurin continued on this aggressive line for, a while longer and then proceeded to make hs usual tariff speech. His speech in all lasted about 2 hours frequently applauded and the crowd evidently favored it. Before taking his seat, McLaurin took a hand primary on his tariff views. Abont one-half showed, their approval by voting. It was after 2 o'clock when Senator McLaurin had concluded. The audience at once began to leave the' court house for dinner. MR MAYFIELD. Then Mr. Mayfield arose to speak. Mr. Mayfield made his characteristic anti-dispensary speech, but in addition said that after introducing his bill for its abolition he had had conference with Governor Ellerbe. The Governor asked him to withdraw it, which he did. Mr. Mayfield said that inasmuch as McLaurin charged him with being in a combination that he would say McLaurin is the appointee of the j Governor and Governor Ellerbee declared to him (Mayfield) that he would back McLaurin with the whole force of his admin stratiou. Ellerbe urged him not to run. say ing they intended to favor a new party composed of conservative Conservatives and conservative Reformers. EX-GOVEROOR EVANS. By the time Mr. John Gary Evan's turn to speak came around the crowd had returned from dinner. He made his usual tariff speech and in it Beverly attacked McLaurin i for his views. He read favorable som men ts from republcan papers. Evans charged that McLaurin had ?ever been faithful to his friends. Had it not been for McLaurin, he i ?sserled, Judge Wallace would now be a justice on the supreme bench. 1 While he was working for him McLaurin was knifing him for . Pope, in order to get Pope's place is Attorney General. When he vas running for the Senate last year McLaurin knifed him, he declared. He said he would say nothing < ibout Governor EJlerbe's taking ;he endorsement of 40,000 voters >ver the few weazly politician*. He never asked for the appoint ment. If McLaurin's policy s carried out will cost the farmers 10 per cent, more on necessaries. He commented on .* negro paper n Washington urging McLaurin's ippointment because of his helping \ o de feat the "Jim crow" bill. ? Ie then at length dicussed the Pe- ( uviau and Egyptian cotton ? chedules and urged that there ! ould be no possible good in it to ? he farmers, exeept to pay more \ or bis socks, aud hose and ckthes n wbieh these cottons are used. Inly 100,QO balees of long staple ras raised in tb is country and ree fourths of that in /Georgia, r. nd the idea was to tax the masses i o help a few sea island "negroes" t nd planters. To show that Mc- s ?surin was a protectionist he said c IcLaurin voted for a 300 per cent, ix on wool against the 55 per cent, a i tax ib the.Wislon bill, as pro posee iu committee. McLauriu, who had just return ed from dinner, said that he had helped from Evans in his race foi the Senate. His defeat was due tc Irby having forced him, as Gover nor, down the people's threat. Evans declared that the lie wa: out somewhere. Then McLaurin sat silent. A lively spat on McLaurin'e vote on the tariff bill ensued. The crowd listened attentively. There was decided evidehce of vindictive ness towards Evans, while the crowd cheered McLaurin at every opportunity. When Evans finished at 3:30 p, m. the crowd began to call again for McLaurin. He declined, how? .ver, to respond. Johnson's Chill and Fever Tonic Cures Fever in One Day. TILLMAN HANDS Ol F. He Takes No Part in the Sena torial Campaign. COLUMBIA, S. C., July 13.-The State's Washington correspondent wires his paper that in reply to inquiries of the State's represen tative today, Senator Tillman made the following statement in refer ence to th? pending senatorial contest in the State : "Personally, the relations be tween Irby and myself are friend ly, at least they are not so strain ed as they were at one time, but that fact has no significance what ever, so far as the senatorial cam paign in the state is concerned. We were brought together by a mutual friend a year or so ago without any possible reference to prosent or future conditions." THE ALLEGED COMBINAI ION. Speaking of his alleged connec tion with tho Irby-Evans combi nation to defeat McLaurin, he said-: "While in Washington some time ago Evans talked with me about his candidacy for the Son ate and I advised him against it and the announcement of his can didacy in the newspapers was a surprise to me, and I was even more surprised to see that Irby and Evans were running together -surprised because they had knif ed each other so mercilessly in the past." "Now," he added, "I want it understood that I am taking no part in the contest. I will not be drawn into it, and any statement to the contrary is absolutely false. The people must decide it for themselves." About the possible result he had no opinion to express. He will remain here until Congress adjourns unless called home by the illness of Mrs. Tillman. There are a number of women lawyers in the Tnited States? The largest fee gained by one of them was made by Miss Ella L. Knowles, of Montana. She received $10,000 in a law suit involving mining interests. She afterwards came within a few votes of being elected state state attorney. Beal.
