Halmon, Chief of the Bureau of Animsl lu lustry in the Agricultural Pepartmont, said rocently that there hact not been any pleuropneumonia among cattle in the Unite!

Salmon, "nor is there an unusual prevalence of the disease. It has existed from time immemorial, bnt it can be lessened, and can probably be era Heated by adopting proper measures. It is a disease of the lungs among oattle and contagions, being coinmnnicated by germs. It is most prevalent in dairy oatt'e which are raised and kept under conditions where contagion can he easily communicated. The disease is more apt to apre* I among cattle kept in stables than among those in a pasture or on a ranoh."

"Thay Burnt the Wood* ana Siftad tha Ashat and Hava Not Found a Louso," said Tillman. ChAHijRRToy, 8. O.?The fifth of the series of campaign meetings was held at Camden. The crowd wan smalt and reasonably well behaved. The Interest of the campaign centers in the senatorial race, Senator Butler and Governor Tillman being the chief attractions of the circus. Tillman was very tame and Sunday school-like in his in troductory remark*, but warmed up aa he went along. He spoke of bin unit anal experience in this campaign and protested against the policy of conducting* on the lino of personal abuse. Speaking of the way he had responded at Lancaster to the attack made upon him by Senator Butler he said: "When I got to Lancaster I pulled off his shirt and lifted the hide and put som* salt and pepper under it. We Edgefield fellows know how to use pepper. He may have some more pepper and I will give him all the time he wants as T will only take twenty minutes. Butler's charges that I ain a liar and a thief and a coward do no good." He was willing to discuss public issues if permitted to do so or if it were preferred that he should pitch rocks, he promised to pitch two rocks to Butler's one. There was nothing to hide in his publie record. His private life was open to most careful scrutiny. He had lived for the last five years under a calcium light, and if anything could have been found agahist hfm It would have been discovered by this time. Here there was a vigorous outburst of applause for Governor Tillman, and in response to this he eried out: "They burnt the woods and sifted the ashes and have not found a louse." Ho challenged SpHHfnr in hrtnrr mil umlliino * hnndrett mil fifty dollars every month ont of the taxes of the people to import * detective to follow me around and guard mo." Butler then devoted soma time to the idle talk about the aaaaai nation of Governor Tillman and walking up to bim with otitetreiohed arnia said: ."I'll guard him myself, and in heaven's name let him atop that penny game of demagogy. What ia he doing it for he had against hia private or public record. He intimated that there might be flomething in General Butler's record but that he did not fight that w*v, but if Butler wanted it that way he could give him more than he Bent, ten to one. General Butler had been Baking for a primary for the aenutorahip at every point. It made no difference to himtaa he waa aura to get theaenatorahip, but he aaw no neceaaitv for a primary when the membera of the Legialature wbo elected the Senator were directly ehoaen by the people. He urged hia follower** to be very careful who they elected. Butler waa the friend of the corporationa and their candidate. Mr. Cleveland would rather see Butler in the Senate than to have Ben Tillman go there. "If 1 go there. I promise that T will use that pitchfork in hia old fat riha." He intended to call Butler "Coxey" Butler from this time on and would planter that name or hia forehead at every meeting in the State. Tillman apoko for only about fifteen minntes and wound np with an appeal for peace. The people of the Htate needed peace and unity in every aenae of the word. In hia peroration he declared that he wauted to go to the Henate to aee what he could do against the Wall street influence. Wall street owned Congreas and owned the Senate and the President and all the rent of them were under the influence of Wall tarect. Senator Butler was rec? ived with great applause, and made a telling speech. When Governor Tilluinn made the proposition to dinenss public issues he willingly met him more than half war, hut as the first opportunity Tillinan had ^indulged in a line of speaking which reduced the campaign to the line of a dog tight almost. He agait^ denounced as untrue any statement that he had or knew of a cami paign fund in hia interest. He made a telling point against Tillman by dubbing him "Newbold" Tillman, in honor of the Teaas detective by that Dame who has been employed by Governor Tillman. "I don't send to Texaa for defectives and I do not par ,v?.- I t la a-Mta j?n? Mrmr'thy' T Ulint thai by the time I get throngh with him, that ii if T harp atrength to fit thrnngh, he won't he worth killing, t'a all nonaenae about biabeing killed; it ia all bnncombe. He haa played that cara for the lant time, and I promiae I'll guard him all the time if he'll jnat qnit talking about being killed General Butlc? than talked abont the Darlington matter and aaid it waa a ridicnlona idea on the Oorernor'a Birt to apeak of being wanted in arlington ao that he might be killed. What had he done? Think of it. The Mea of thf Governor of a Commonwealth being nfrnid to (to among hU people for fear of being killH! What bad he done for anybody to kill him? There waa some attempt at thia point by Tillman'a friend* to interrupt BntIgr'a apeech bnt the Senator naid to the chairman ef the meeting that theee men mnat ehnt their montha; that there ware not enough men in the country to intimidate him and they' need not think they could frighten hitn, and they kept quiet. Oeneral Butlor aaid he had heard of thia howling down hiiaineaa that had ao diagracetl the I fit ate in recent yeara and he noticed that when a man blialered Tillman'a back hia frienda began to bowl him down. He did not pro|u?ae to be howl* j ed down In reply to Governor Tillinun he ( aaid: "Ha it Inclined to attack my rtcord ftbeol vUcb ba knap* talking, and I would hove much mure icapect for him if he come out nnd said what he wanted Io and ?iid not keep intimating thing*. He said something about what it meant to give the lie over in Edgefield. What he said is so; but I'll tell yon they don't come back and say 'you are another.' They act. Now, 1 commend him for not resenting what ho regarded as an insult because he u Governor, but because he is Governor I is no reason why he should offer insult* nnd then hide behind that fact. That'* his way. Now, if he hides behind hi* being Governor, he has no right to whine. That's tho baby act and H won't do him any good. I want him and every one to understand that he n ?.t absolute liberty to attack my char aeter, private and public. When h? and I get to comparing records, if h? does not come out behind I'm the most mistaken man alive." Senator Bntlei said that he had heard that detective* had been sent to Washington to hunt up his record and play the spy on him. i but that they had come back with theii fingers in theif mouthy. General Sutler made a determined attack on the dispensary; characterized it as a political machine built up ii Tillman's interest; said that it had no* been conducted according to law, and generally riddled it with holes. Hit speech made a lasting impression and was received with much enthusiasm by the Butler followers. The day passed off without trouble. The meeting Saturday was held a* Sumter. MURDERS HIS NIECE.

Council left Apej with Oeorge Mills, white, who standi charged with the murder and attempted rape of his niece, Miaalana Wimberly. The officers drove through the country to Raleigh and the reason they left at such an hour as midnight was that il Mills had remained there over night be would have been lynched. Milla is about' 45 years of age, and is of a low order of intelligence. His eyesight is very poor and he is small in stature. His character is not good. Some years ago he was charged with an outrageous assault upon a whits wummi his enmin limn merried, and tho proof of her had character nlotie saved him. It is alleged that he has made several attempts of the kind at variotis times. The Wimherlys armed their neighhorn and a party of eight went to the eld Vaughan house, from which th* old mnn had just returned and told them he reckoned Inna wan at the Vaughan house, dead; that somebody had certainly knocked her in the head. They found it in a freshly ploughed field, and there were plaiuly visible the footprints of a man and a woman leading to the door, while only the tracks of a man were found leading a?ay from the house. Abont two feet inside the door lay Mian Wimberly. To all appearances she wan dead. Her head wan literally beaten to pieces. Her templps were crushed in and there was a ghastly bole in the aide of her head. The entire rear of the skull was crushed, and the brain was visible. There were evidences of a struggle. On the floor were found the prints oi five nails made by a footstep. It was found that Mills' shoe made just such an impression, having the five naila. T.,_? ......I.. .1 ?...

The London l'ost thinks that tli decrease of emigration to the Unitei States is not so much due to the exclu sion laws as it is to the fact that th west has had ita day, and that the tid of emigration has turned toward Africa. It declares that the omnipo tence of capital in this country ha grown into an almost intolerabl tyranny, and has driven the farnie and the workingman to the wall. Surprising as this view may seem t many of our readers,it is, neverthelesi * tact that the rush to Africa lias nil only resulted in the establishment ?> many European eolouies in the dai continent,hut has also led a number < Americans to organi/.e with a view t settling in eastern Africa, about HO miles north of Zanzibar, on both sid< of Jnba river, for about 450 miles ir land. It is not the intention to estal lish missions. It will be a free settb ment. Hiee, sugar, tobacco and ml ber arc the natural products of the region, and cattle, sheep and horsr do well in that climate. Already abor 3,000 American workingmen principa ly in the west, have signified tliei desire to join the new colony, and is .believed that the settlers w ill li ready in about five years to begin ei porting their products.

By the last census there were 1,1147 '285 square miles of territory in tl United States, where there were onl two people to the square mile. Thei were 592,037 square miles whic averaged from two to six individua I to each; 393,943 square miles th i averaged from six to eighteen popul tion; 701,845 square miles that averaj ed from eighteen to forty-five po] illation; '235,148 square miles tin averaged from forty-five to ninety,an only 25,312 square miles where tl population was above ninety to tl square mile.
