At the Charleston campaign meeting Mr. Lyon, candidate for attorney general, proposed to Mr. J. W. Ragsdale, also a candidate for the same office, to withdraw from the race in favor of Gen. Leroy F. Youmans, if he, Ragsdale, thought conscientiously as a man it was proper for them both to oppose Gen. Youmans. Mr. Ragsdale replied the next day by proposing to Mr. Lyon to withdraw outright with> out any strings tied to the withdrawal ** * 1J nvux TITQa li vyoa woiuu. IliC pU|A.VUWVU If wu not accepted, so it is safe to say they will both continue in the race. Hon. J. J. McMahan, candidate for V governor, sprung a surprise on Monday .by proposing that the State conduct an insurance beureau. He saw no reason why we should send thousands of dollars away from the State each year in premiums. He wants to see the profits spent in improving schools, public roads and'draining lowlands. Senator Tillman is still in Washington, attending his duties in the senate, andJias not yet joined the campaign > ;' party. It is a pretty safe prediction that when he and Lumpkin meet there will be some interesting talking done. The State campaign party will be at Lexington on Saturday next, and the people of this county will have an opportunity to see and hear the big y - guns. ? Senator Cole L. Bleas is the only candidate for governor who favors the ' dispensary as it stands, with the repeal of the Briee Law. Senator Manning 2nd Col.. Sloan both favor it, with what are termed some purification measures added. Mr. J. E. Brunson v - stands squarely on the prohibition platform. Mr. A. C. Jones is a pro* ? hibition, local option man. Hon. M. F. Ansel is purely a local option candidate, so also is Mr. Tvr. A. Edwards. In addition Mr, Edwards vigorously attacks the railroads for alleged violations of law. At Birmingham, Ala., June 22 Dudley Brown and Harry Knight, of Talladega, Ala., shot and killed each other in a duel in the presence of I three hundred people at ^masquerade ball skating rink. Various^causes are assigned. Knight leaves a widow. ! Brown was unmarried. 5 Beginning July 2, the Clemson college t agricultural car will start on a tour through "the State, stopping at various points. The car has been fitted out with various kinds of seeds and dairy machinery. Prof. J. N. Harper of Clemson college will have charge of the car and wi^l make talks on agril'-: culture. > . ... ^ It is now probable that the encampment of the South Carolina troops at Chickamauga as anticipated sometime since, joining the regular troops of the United States, with State troops from various States, will be called off and the usual State encampment may be held in Columbia as usual instead. "* % i A dispatch from Athens, Ga., on Friday says that hail fell that day to the depth of fourteen inches in some portions of Clark and Oconee counties, doing great damage to crops. , It is said Uncle Joe Cannon, speaker of the House, has knocked all the Starch out of the Port Royal naval training school bill.

Mr. kndre\y Stabler was a guest of the writer last Saturday night. Mrs. Rebecca Day has gone for a short stay to Irene, among relatives 1 and friends. ^ Well I must stop, for my horse is about through eating, the grass is growing and the plow must go. A Tramp.

Amah ? 1^9 YV Orv ., / i * Too many X's of .booze Saturday night caused a "fracus" among several "gem'nfe of color" in the upper part of town. Consequently some of them spent Sunday in jail, and Monday Judge J. B. Wingard was engag ed in hearing charges of assault and battery, etc., of which Casberry Rish, Will Meetze, Doll Chaple, Coot Mims and Will Harris were found guilty by a jury, and yesterday under another count, carrying concealed weapons and riot, was considered by the same judge. Messrs. F. E. Dreher and T. C. Sturkie defended the prisoners. Mr. Archie Martin was prosecuting attorney on part of the State. For the j initiation of first degree they were j charged $8 each or twenty days on j chain gang. On the second charge, which was for riot the case was compromised with the prosecutor, each of the five j paying ?20, and they were released, | Casberry Rish and Will Chappel were j indicted for carrying concealed weaI pons. Chappel come clear, but Casberry Rish was found guilty and had to pay $20, and thus ended the Saturday night brawl. ' Where to Spend the Fourth. Do you want a first-class dinner on the 4th.

Old uncle Josh Gunter, one of Chinquepin's, oldest citizens, and a good, clever old gentleman, active and industrious in his better days; was a true and faithful Confederate soldier of the Palmetto Sharp Shooters. He was quite old and lived his allotted time, becoming helpless and truly an invalid in his last days, poverty stricken, he was placed in the poor house not many weeks since and died there yesterday. His remains were sent to Leesville for burial, and thus another old soldier has crossed over the river to answer the roll call of those better blessed. Senator Latimer has been appointed as one of the senate conferees on the niirp fnnd hill. I ^? ? J ANNOUNCEMENTS.
