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."

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? He can't call on McLauriu's

friends, for they have whipped

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.

belongs the spoils.'' If this be so,
how about Gonzales foi senator

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

tongue for her husband when he
talk.3 politics, for she claims that
he made the recent race over her
protest.
"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

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.
