Edenfield Advertiser Tl??S. J. ADAMS,.EDITOR WEDNESDAY, SEPT. 8. A Kentucky paper is somewhat alarmed at the enormous export of corn. It fears that thero might not be enough left for distilling purposes. McLaurin was fairly and legally elected United States Senator, and yet he received only thirty thou sand votes out of a possible one hundred thousand; he received ten thousand votes less than John Gary Evans received last year who was defeated by Earle. Gov. Ellerbe will withdraw all the constables except in a few or the rural "destricts." He says : "On the 1st of October I expect to withdraw all constables from towns and cities. There will only be a few constables retained to sup press blind tigers and the like. Few will be retained to look after the country where there are no po lice. The enforcement of the law will be left entirely to the muni cipal authorities, and I will ask their support and cooperation in he enforcement of the law." "WHAT SHALL THE HAR VEST BE? Mauy are the reasons given for the small vote cast in the senatorial election on the'31st of August last. There is no doubt but that the large proportion of "stay-aways" from the polls is due to the fact of indifference to the result and, in many instances, to an utter dis gust with all three of the candi dates ; and of those who did vote, many voted for the successful can didate because they believed him the least of three evils. More reformers than conserva tives abstained from voting, and the election of McLaurin is dis tinctively a conservative triumph, and it may mean the beginning of the end of the reform movement in South Carolina. It would le useless to speculate as to what the result would have befn had a full \ ote been polled, because, under the conditions pre sented to the voter, such a vote was impossible. Admitting for the sake of argu ment and illustration that Mc Laurin has a better record and characterjhan his opponents, the Carolina democrats. To be fair to him it is admitted that, though with his mouth he eschews protec tion for protection's sake, yet with his feet he stands on the protec tion platform-he voted for pro tection in Congress. This was a straddle that many voters could not reconcile to their voting con sciences, however successful Mc Laurin may have been in this direction. It was a keeping the promise to the ear and breaking it to the hope, a sort of a cross-eyed position that looked one way and walked another, which the ordi nary voter could cot understand or believe to be honest. I A Possible Tribute. We find the follow ing in the Yorkville Enquirer of Wednesday : Editor Gonzales, of the Colum bia State, must take off his hat to Senator Tillman. He is not ob liged to render this obeisance ; but if the story here told is correct, it looks like he ought to. We will say in advance that we are not going to vouch for the story. . It came to the reporter sec ond hand, and may be a little mix ed. But, all the same, it came so straight that unless it is denied, we are inclined to believe it is true. The incident occurred several weeks ago, and the scene was laid on the southbound O. R. & C. pas senger train, on its way to the Tir zah camp meeting. Senator Till man was on board, and so also was quite a number of the senator's enthusiastic friends, gathered from various neighborhoods in the west ern part of the county. One of the friends referred to, an enthusiastic Tillmanite from away back, struck up a couversation with the senator about the condi tion of "Reform" and presently the discussion drifted on to the newspapers, when the senator ask ed : "What paper are you reading anyway?" "The Register," replied the oth er. "Well," said the senator, "you drop that right now and take The State." "The State!" exclaimed the other. "What do you mean?" "I mean just what I say," re plied Senator Tillman. "Take : The State. The Register is so un- i reliable that you can never tell i where it stands, and while Gon- . zales is as bitter as gall, you can I always tell just where to put your I finger on him." I The good "Reformer" to whom < the senator was talking, pondered, I so the reporter is informed. Other f "Reformers" who overheard the < conversation ponderud, and from ( the best info mation obtainable, ( some of them are pondering yet." "Cherry Ripe" at the "Luray" a most delightful drink. ' < RESULT OF THE PRIMARY. Che Pessimistic Views of "A Busted Reformer." Columbia Register. The result of the senatorial pi nary means more than it shows on he Burface. The fight has been a relentless one by the conservatives. They have caught on every little lissension in the ranks of reformers, until a division in their ranks is the result. Ambitious men have taken possession of the reform party, causing bickering, backbiting, antagonism and divi sion, and defeat is the result. To day we have two warring factions within the reform rauke, with the conservatives the balance of power. See the result: Mugwump inform ers and conservatives join hands: the old line original reformers, with John Gary Evans, W. D. Evans, J. L. M. Irby and others on the other side lining up for fight next year. You will see one of two things if Ellerbe removes the metropolitan police, breaks up the dispensary system and many other things that will be necessary for bim to do to keep in the good graces of the consevatives. He may be the nominee of the same old ring rule orowd, and with a solid vote of the conservatives, with the reformers that follow, he may be governor. But, my brother, you have a hard task master. Gonzales will craok his whip over your bead and you must obey ; if not, your name is "Dennis" and you will see a conservative governor and a division of which will be the entire destruction of the whole dispensary system and the final defeat of B. R. Tillman in 1900. Can Senator Tillman call on Evans or Irby's friends to support him?

The conservatives have no use for Tillman-ner*r have had and never will have: so, senator, it looks to me as if you will have to make a fight that will be harder to win than the one made in 1890. I am an original reformer, but the reform party has been upon a boisterous political sea; the captain steered her upon the breakers; she is stranded, andthis morning she is a political wreck, without a compass, rudder or chart. The old adage is, "To the victor belongs the spoils.'' If this be so, how about Gonzales foi senator in 1900? A Busted Reformer. Sept. 1. JOHNSON'S CHILL AND FEVER TONIC Cures Fever In One Day. AN OUTSIDE VIEW. Result of the Primary for United States Senator. Senator McLauriu seems to have won easily in the South Carolina contest. It is not possible to con gratulate either South Carolina or the senate on this result nor would it have been if either of the other candidates had won. There was not one man in the hst of com petitiug politicians who was fit to represent his State in the highest branch of the national legislature. The blackguardism which all of them indulged in on the stump, culminating in the pretence that a iuel was imminent between Mr. Evans and Mr. McLaurin, showed their lack of the characteristics that should distinguish senators of the United States. The best that ian be said for Mr. McLaurin is '. ;hat he shows some disposition to ( itudy governmental problems and x> express his views independently j )f partisan dictation.-New York Commercial Advertiser. Now is the time to sub? M ;ribe for the Advertiser. li KNIFED TO THE FAT. ?ol. Irby's Bitter Denunciation of Tillman. Laurens, Sept. 1.-IQ a short talk with Col. Irby this evening, be was asked "What have you to Bay about yesterday's primary?" To which he answered: "I have nothing to say except that Tillman, pretending to be hands off, has sneakingly come into the State and knifed me to the fat. I made Tillman what he is today. I never asked his support ; I did not expect it; I gave him credit for being truthful when he said he was hands off. When he attacked me in his intel view I called him down by telegrams. In his answers he lied like a dog, but I was estopped. I make this fight to protect the poor people of the State against the ravages of the North. I expected Tillman would help, because the )K)or people in the State made UB what we are. As to McLaurin, I have nothing to say, As to Tillman I have put him upon notice that when we meet, he may expect trou ble. All that I ask is that he give the rattlesnake's notice before he attacks. Further than this I have nothing to say." From the Atlanta Constitution. FreBh from defeat, but smiling and happy, former Senator Irby, of South Carolina, came into Atlanta yesterday at noon. The late candidate released his vials of vindictive spleen against Tillman, threatened him with the pitohfork of political extermina tion, predicted radical changes in state polities and then rolled over on the couch in his room at the Kimball to toss in pain. Just before reaching Atlanta the ex-senator was seized with a violent attack, and was rather apprehensive as to his condition at first, but upon arrival a physician was summoned and he was aisured that the attack was insignificant and only temporary. Mrs. Irby was also here. She is a middle-aged woman, with a ?pry Election, {lug. 31. LTES SENATE. STATE SENATE, House o?

"I did not want him lo go into it," said Mrs. Irby, with a emile. "The campaigns in our state are so fearfully trj'ing." REBUKE TO TILLMAN. Senator Irby \,as rather weak to talk, but the mention of Tillman nerved him up for the while and he grew violently vindictive. "He is a dead duck," said the big politician, lifting himself on one arm and glaring with emphasis. "I made that man. I have been behind him in many undertakings, but he has now rocei ;ed fair warning and if we meet again there shall be trouble. It was be who said that he wculd hands off the race. He gave promise that he would not interfere with the race but he has been knifing mo from the jump, and his hand was several of the hidden plays which operated against me. In his telegram to me he lied like a dog, and I give him due notice what he is to expect from me." This stinging arraignment Senator Tillman was delivered with all the strength the defeated candidate could control. HOW DEFEAT CAME' As to how he was defeated Senator Irby told of that in a few words. "When I went into the race, he said, "I had the great majority of votes with me. I was the second choice of the friend3 of both candidates and stood between them, but the strong desire of the people to kill these reform men caused all to go McLaurin. I am satisfied in a sense, for I believe I came out of the race with more substantial strength than any candidate, in spite of the fact that I received the lowest vote. . "As to McLaurin I have nothing to say. The reform party is a* dead as a door nail, aud Tillman might as well prapare his obituary. Next year there will come elections from governor to corner, und you can look out for radical changes." Senator Irby left in the afternoon for Nashvillfl, where he will spend ?ome time taking in the exposition. | p tie was muoh better before leaving, ind stated that he would be all right vithin a few hours. of ?lne Apple Sherbet at the "Luray.'

Johnson's Chill and Fever J Tonic Cures Fever In One Day. WARNED OF DANGER. Apparition That SftV?d a Woman Fro? Being- Bitten by a Cobra. The following remarkable occurrence, an absolute fact, was related by a ladj visiting friends in Hartford as it wiu told her by her cousin in Meerai, north western India. It took place in thc houFe of the sister of tho narrator. O? its absolute accuracy there can be no question. The two sisters in India are oonnected with families ot repute and with officers in the British army in In dia. Wo give the story ns the lady here related it. She is a devout member of the Episcopal church and is incapable of misrepresenting in the slightest par ticular. Her cousin, in whose house the occur rence took place, was scated at a lighted table engaged in reading, when, think ing it about time to retire, and happen ing to lift her eyes from the book, she wa3 astonished to see seated in a chair before her, and between herself and the door to the bathroom, a man, a stranger to her, -who calmly regarded her. It was too great a surprise for her to speak and demand who was thus intruding unbid den upon her privacy and what was wanted. Sho remained for a moment in silent astonishment. Then it gradually dawned upon her that the figure was probably not that of a person of real flesh and blood, but a visitor from the unseen world of life. She remembered having once, as aohild, seen a similar figure, under circum stances which seemed to preclude the idea that it waa any person still in the body, and in later years, in revolving those circumstances, she had remember.
