Last Monday afternoon a small lioy, while rambling on the farm of the Hon 1) E Finiey, ran upon the dead body of an unknown negro man. The body lay at the foot , of a tree which had very recently I been struek by lightning. All evidence pointing that way, the jury etnpannclcd by Coroner Waters rendered the vcalict that 'the deceased eaine to his death j from a stroke of lightning.' The body was not identified.

Aiken, .July 14. ? lletwee 1 thrci and four hundred ..f the 'J.Tui voters in Aiken county eanie on today to hear the senatorial can didates. The court house win comfortably tilled. The oid linn enthusiasm was missing. Messr: Kvans, Irhy and McMaurin eacl spoke for an hour or more am when Mr May field's time eanu the crowd was so weary and Inn scattered so for dinner that lie ha< the merev and p>nd sense b speak for only ten minutes. Gov Kvans said he rej^rettei that there was s<> small an audienn The issues that are now up hav< not been publicly discussed foi years. Mr McLaurin, he said had by acts repudiated the trui Democratic doctrine and platforu and was a Kepublican under l)c mocratie cloak. McLaurin's po liev, he urj*cd, would only riel the few and make the cost o t hours hinrnni" In tlm \t.. ? ^? ?.v iiiv iiiun^vnt I aurin should come out like ??tli crs, ho urged, sis n protection Re publican, for it wns wrong t> servo sis ft Republican in Demo emtio livery. The Republican never gave tlie I)emocrnts an\ thin; unless they sold out or gave tei for one. According to the paper McLaurin is doing evervthing ii Washington and it would pay t( ask the government to let th State have the $.'?0,000 and brim the others home. Ho said In would ssiv nothing about Gov El lorbe's failure to take the endorse inent of 40,000 voters over th measly politicans. He never ask ed for the* appointment. If Me Laurie's policy is carried out i will cost the farmers 20 per cent more on necessaries. He commented on a negro pa per in Washington urging McLau rin's appointment because of hi helping to defeat the Jim Croi hill. He then at length discussed th Peruvian cotton schedules and urg ed that there could !>o no possibh good in it to the farmer, except t pay more for his socks, ami hos and clothes in which these cotton are used. Only 100,000 bales o long staple was raised in thiscoun try, and three-fourths of that i Georgia, and tho idea was to ta the masses to help a few Sen L land "niggers" and pluntet *. T show that McLaurin was a pre lecuonist, no shim .Mri-aurin vote for a 300 per cent, tax on woe against the 55 per cont. tax i the Wilson hill as proposed b the committee. An to Tillman1 position he di<l not think it th sumo as MeLaurin's, but if it wer Tillman was wrong and ho woul tell him so an \ote against him lie spoke a long time on the cot ton schedule uud said it gnve th north the very club it wanted witl w hieh to rob the south on t he com pensntorv tax and on bugging am ties. It was like selling out fo a mess of pottage with the south ern mosses getting nothing. Th . ' speech of Mr Kvans was full on ) the tariff issue Col lrby said ho first came to ) Aiken to see how the reform movement would take in this section, and after his visit told Til 1 i man all was safe. He spoke of taking in now hlood and that Mr Henderson ws the biggest catch since 1S00 (applauseV, said he wanted to talk as a Reformer, Democrat and farmer. Talking' of his being the daddy of Kvans, he said when Tillman wanted Kllerhe for governor, he had told Kvans he should he governor, he ^ made Tillman quit Kllerbe, go to ^ Kvans and elect him. He said he ha<l always been opposed by "the clique" in Columbia, May field was a child of Shell?so an or- ' phan; Duncan of the devil, and McLuurin of (lonzalcs. He said The State misrepresent cd hi in and alleged that it was an j injustice and perversion to have I said lie favored factional strife when he did not, (This is where > i - ., . the word "not was printed to read "now.") lie said The State I , ? - 11mik advantage or hun :it all times. As to his dispensary views he said lie wanted the system given a fu'r 1 chance. It was far better than ' open barrooms. He helped make the law and believed the system ' right yet. If there was any rottenness it should be remedied, and if any dishonesty, punished. He would not charge either. He f' objected to features of the law, especially imprisonment in the penitentiary for the sale oflicpior. The campaign had been forced " on and a horrible schedule arranged by ('<>1 Ncal and otheis. Talking on he said if Tillman ~ had taken his advice he would 11 have had a wooden man run against MeLaurin. He expnlined at length 1 why hi" did not run last year and " other political arts, heretofore ' stated, lie predicted that there would he a Republican and Dc' niocratic party in this State, and in time the suffrage plan would he cursed. Talking of the Uc1 form movement he said if it had not been for him Tillman would still he selling butter In copperas 1 breeches. The movement, he said, started in the defeat of Gen Gary in lHhO. If Gary had lived he " would have been elected in lSh2 and there would have been no s occasion for the movement that v avenged Gary's assassination. He found Tillman, promised to him e at Dan Tompkin's house to run ; for governor, and Tillman readily 3 assented, and he was elected. He o would only have made the first in ? the Democratic party. He said s he would tell what kind of a Demo i >f crat he was and that he was not i- the sort as the governor of the n State who had sold out the Reform x party to the Gonzales party. He i* then went for the governor's o course in reprimanding and dis> missing pi and not repri-! d manding Gen Watts. A repri- j >1 maud was to ahuso and cuss out. n Kllerlio's course was, he said, V 'hnrsll ..~-l j ?? ?..j ....uviuuviuuv- iiini uiiwar- j s ranted.' (Applause.) If the conel tract with Gonzales is carried out, 1 | o he said, this great friend of the , d people will run the Slnio and in i. 10 years every factory would have negro labor. Negro la'?or was nl-, e ready used in Charleston and he j Ii understood was to ho used in Coli unibia. Me was opposed to get j d ting negro labor in mills, as this r was suited to farm lulior. i. While in the senate ho only o made two sjieochcs as he saw no use for talking. lie always voted for his people, and when he fought the sugar differential he held the balance of power and' could have gotton a fortune for his vote. When he voted for the people he got no ciedit or newspaper puffs. lie said he was sometimes afraid ; to go about the hotels as some, one might get in trouble for saying things about his farmer-like ap-: pearanee. McLaurin ought to have been beaten when he wrote that s<juedunk letter and he understood that McLauyin and (ion/ales thought of running independent, tickets i against the nominees for the Constitutional convention. (ion Hut-1 lor had McLaurin's blacklist re-j moved and he wanted to know what (Ion But'.or was to get for this and he wanted to know where McLaurin then stood and who lie now favors and if he was for Till - j man's reelection, as that was an issue, and he wanted McLaurin asked how he stood as to Tillman. J Mr McLaurin said if he were I such a remarkable man as to be a[ Populist, Uepubiiean and Demo-j oral and could arrange so many deals he would not think of running for senator, but would aim higher. This was the first time j he had ever been sussed bv a corpse, ho snid in connection with , a joke. 1 The talk about his being in a combination was entirely to throw ; people off of the scent of the coin lunation* against him. lie com"piimejitcd Irby's political -shrewd-; ness. As to there beingnnv com-1 bieation against Mo Ivor !>.? .m-i Mr \Y 1) Kvuns did us much as j anvone to elect Mcl ver and as to Irl?y*s hurrahing ahout defeating grand ? Id men, lir would remind him that I rhv defeated Wadoj Hampton, who had done much for the State. He voted for Irhy as a party man and his only regret was that Irhy did not use his ability and brains to till the place a^ he had hoped lie would. lie said (Jov Hvans had heen unfair to him in attacking him in his own home and trying to tnakj capital out of , ...r. lilt' .Mill \ TOW fill* hill. A majority of tl?o Demo- i orals tleteatoil tlie hill and be op- i jiosed it because of certain fea- j Hires in it. I (is people knew how j he stood and that there was nothing in this sort of talk. His peo-J ' pie for generations were known j in this section and no one before ever tried to make him appear as | opposed to white men and women. I lit* now and has always rented his lands to white tenants, .although he could no doubt get more from colored tenants, but he was doing what ho thought right and what his people before him had done. His very vote he contented was | strictly on the party platform and ' ho has never been a protectionist. ! He thought it robbery to get more money than the government want-1 ed. He cited as an illustration of his position. Suppose the ]>eople voted for a graded school system find parrloil i# nti.l ' ' ' 4 ..... .V ...Ml in- Jiiim HIS UIXCS to support the system, would there i?o uny sense iu hi.> keeping his children away from the school because he did not believe in graded schools? So with the tariff. There was a Republican house and senate and President. None of the Democrats made the hill or had much to say, hut should they try to make it as much non-sec. tional as possible, or not? Tho hill was going to pass. Nothing] could defeat it, and the que was whether to sit down an it go as it was prepared and sented or to try and get some out of it for his people hy ti to get some justice and eq lie wanted such things equal There was never proposed an crease in the price of eatinjj and the hill does not raise price, hut simply changed classification so as to tax the. the hrewers have been using, to the fallacy of the argunien ed against the cotton tax last. ^ short staple cotton was hrti to New Orleans from Mexico more will come unless then duty. Senator llacon and n proposed this tax or cotton, said he would keep up his for all time for free haggin<j ties. As to his sending on tirst speech, lie sent out ><), as many as he could afford, it was printed in nearly c paper and he stood hy it. was not a protectionist, as he hut held that the people of Carolina had as manv rigli any other people. lie neve memhered saying the people cred and loafed too long an Calhoun's grave, t?ut it ocei to him that Kvans likes t< around the grave he was p l ist year. He said he and man stood today where Cal and Iluync stood. llayne a ed in fixing a duty on indigr held it was in strict con for with all of the principles o hill, lie and George 1) l il also held very much the ideas. As to voting for the tariff on wool that was in mittee and had nothing to do the hill. Jt was a fight between McL and I'ailcy and he stood by 11: who, he said, some were tr\ i got in a hole. Theeommitte ed this regardless of hi-? voti il was a purely side light.
