The interview reads in part as follows: "We asked Colonel lrhy if he had anything to say aihout Mr MeLaurin.'* ' Nothinir whatever, was the reply. "1 criticised MeLaurin's public record and position so lonir as he remained upon the stand, but when he <piit tlit* campaign I lot him alone. Hut by the way, I do want you to set me rurht about an interview I ?jave out directly after the election, and while irritated over the 111: nier in which 1 luul been treated by Tillman. One sentence in that interview led the public to think that I contemplated making a personal attack on Tillman the li 1st time we met. Now, I denounced Tillman as lyino like a doif, an ! I desire to reiterate and cmpha-n/.c that statement. Hut 1 am neither a bully, an assassin or a murderer, and have no intention <d' making a personal a <sau't on Tillman or any one el-c. H it 1 have not anything to take back that i said either dormer ??r after the lumpai^ii, and if the rare was to be run over n^iin, I would do just as i have done:" ..\Vm . ... I i I.I .a... .. ? x'HMU i I J ' ? > . I 1 # ? i I that intciview published in the Atlanta Constitution.'1 "Why," I to r plied, "It was a fake. 1 was sick in Atlanta with colic, and got a room at the Kimball house. A young man connected with Tie Constitution called on me, Icit 1 was in no humor to talk, and dismissed him with a few common-place words. I suppose he prepared the interview from what ha 1 already been published. I bad no desire to travel over the country repeating a threat igainst Tillman an! expend ing epithets. 1 gave Colonel Hall an interview, which he published as 1 spoke it. and this is all I have sui 1 for publication touching the campaign. Hut I see you arc determined to draw me out on politics, and I assure you I do not want 10 lalK tor publication. COTTON SIIOI'LI) BRING MO! IK. The Kstimate of a Well Known Buyer in Columbia. The State. A well known cotton-buyeryesterday in talking about the enormous crop that had been estimated for this year and the consequent low price of the staple said: "Mr Neal of Liverpool has appeared in an estimate of the cotton crop for l s;?7and 1 Sits of over lo.ouo.ooo hales But that estimate was based upon reports of the condition of the plant in An<_'Ust. Since 1 lie I-t of September, when the 1 S bureau reported a dc; line of so:' ei^ht points I; oOi it - previous report, there has been a nuieb ^renter and rei ious i? n of t' e pjv!-|xat-. and 1 Iris ii tabu d heavy lo-s.

A terrible boiler explosion oe curled l:isi Friday mornm ; nt Mr La he Wilson's jiin and saw mill near Aetronia, savs the (hist-nda l Ja/.-'ttc of riinrsduv. ll was reI . innrkable alike for its violence and for the marvelous nhsene) of > any fatality. i It was ahout 11 o'clock. Mi I Wilson had just thrown on a l>cll i and stopped to one side. Andy Taylor, the colored fireman, wu> at one end of the l.Vhorse powci horizontal boiler, which was very old and separate from the engine. Mr Wilson's 1 .'1-year old son llenrv wiu a few feet from tin boiler also. The feeder and packers were in the trin house near tin I trio. Messrs .lolm Jenkins and Kobert Lontr had linished tinnint ! the roof and shed and had conn j down. After throwing on the belt, Mi Wilson had barely time to ste] aside when terrific report, came which, he said, was very much like the sound of the exhaust one hears from the bit* city compresses. The tlyinir boiler sltol by Mr Wilson's side, rubbintr against li is letr as it went. The nejrro lireman seemed drawn by suction rijrht after tin* lioiler, and tumbled into the open well just under where the hoiler was :i moment before. Mr Wilson's little on was knocked dow ii ind covi red up in the deliris. 'I'lie saw mill shed was hlown to kindling wood. When the lioiler striiek the uin house, it tore two s ineli sills i(l two riirht under the trim liv some strange eoineidenee, the feeder, before any thinji wronir had happened, stepped just to one side from his ein. I he piteker, wtto was ^tandinir near was knocked up from the floor ami oiune down on a girder. The two N-illch sids seemed to hreak the upward force of the hoiler, and. diving d ?wn. it missed the next two joists. But, rising airain. it Hew nloii<? under the ?jinhouse, tearimr in two every joist except the two just mentioned. It sailed out from under the house on to : distance of .">v yards Ijy actual step measure i'roip where it started. A few yards from its stopping place it cut in two a standing tree as big as a telephone pole. \\ hen it stopped living forward, the steam was stiil escaping so violently at the lire-hox on the under side that it whirled the tiling a summersault. Mr .1 It Ilcndorson says there was a general wreckage of almost everything. Nolaxly was seriously hurt. The fireman, who was buried into the well, was scalded so that he is temporarily disabled from work; hut his burns are not regarded serious. Mr Wilson's son, who was knocked down and covered up with flying timbers and the like was taken out unhurt. A trilling burn or two that didn't make any blister is the sum of his damages. It is truly a renin*'kahle deliverance from harm of nil who were concerned. Had the explosion happened a moment sooner, it must have occasioned shocking' fatalities. But when the time came for the boiler to t: :ve! its te. riH: path every in n 1 kI, without knot i-jg he was in . ntcp|)dd aside from-tii? pdh <>f duiker. Mr VViilODy vvh > is :t i're>ovtorian, is ortln d<>x t(? ll??' ' tt "it r In-licvi I /, as he sas 1h:it the whole o? i tirront a v a - planned thousands of vms ago and that it was then fixed ju .1 where every man should t>e when the explosion took place. The marvelous escape from death of all who were there has made a profound impression upon Mr \\ ils-<?n and he has cau-e to he, as he is, truly grateful for the deliverance. No cause is specially oasiirned for the explosion except that the hoi'er was an old onu and its time hud come. . V o * | For the ledger. ! Mr at VAN WYCK ITFMS. ' to inn the i i A!it.
