We read in the Ineuiance Her- i

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. !

Colombia Register
Edgefiield. S. 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

tempting to parcel out the offic
of this State from Senator down
croner. "I am running as a dem

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.

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.
