Governor Northern, of Georgia, is de termined to do all in his power to sup press lynching in that State, and empha sizes his position by issuing a proclama tion offering a reward of $200 each for the lynchers of James Redmond, Bob Addison and Gus Rohison in Habersham county recently. In the course of his re xaarks the Governor says: "The laws of the State are ample for the protection of the people: the courts are open for con viction, and the Executive stands ready, at all times, to enforce the judgments of the courts against the lawlessness and and violence of any and all kinds. The killing of a citizen by a mob is deliberate murder, and the perpetrators of the crime should suffer, at the hands of the courts, the proper penalty. Lynching is brutal, cruel and barbarous. I now call upon the people of this State, in thc name of law and order, to respond promptly to the summons of the officers of the law for the i>rotection of citizens whose live? may be threatened by a mob. We cannot afford in any case, however aggravated, to justify the defiance of law." That Conditional Requisition Again. The 0> <,/>; . XetCS seems to he densely ignorant both as to the law and the facts on which requh'tions for fugitives from justice are granted. The point we stressed was that the laws of the land guaranteed protection of property to every citizen, and that a conditional requisition was without precedent or authority of law. Enough of the facts were staled to make this clear. The amount of property stolen has nothing todo with the question. If it was of only $20in value, and accompanied by housebreaking, or even a housebreaking without thc loss of any property what ever, a very high crime would have Leen committed, one which *he law visits with heavy penalties. If the private citi zen is to be required to defray the ex penses of apprehension when the accused decs the .State, then the boasted pro tection of property under thc laws of the land becomes a myth. The houses and property of the citizen would be virtually placed at the mercy of bandits and robbers, for all they would have to do is t>> break, enter and steal, and then take their departure to some far oil" state or Territory, so that t he expenses of arrest and transportation will be so great that private purse cannot reach them. Such is not the law nor its requirement, and ^??l^aan had no authority for pro;_ s> coud."/*" before him. we must reiei ...... ... . friend to the tender mercies of those whose testimony would bc competent on a trial of the case: which clearly should not be badin the first instance in the public prints. But our neighbor is such a blind devo tee of Gov. Tillman that there is no hope that the scales will ever fall from its eyes sufficiently for it to sec the truth in alt its glare, or ever rise to the height of criticising one of his official acts, however reprehensible and unlawful it may be. Come up, contemporary: on to the high ground, where you can uphold law and order and do battle for the protection of property and of society. Lynching iu Laurens. lt is supposed that Dave Shaw, colored, was lynched in Laurens on the night of May 27. He had been arrested for burg lary and larceny, and was in the custody of the constable and two assistants. en route to the office of Trial Justice John It. Hellams for preliminary examination. Iii his report to the Governor, Justice Hellams says: ""In crossing the bottoms of South 1'abun creek they were accosted by a oody of men, who were in ambush and called on to hands up." The constable reported tli:tt In* was Covered wi tb pis tols and tired upon and ordered to take the road b;i<-k. Others grabbed hold of him and forced the line, by which beheld the prisoner, from him. He says that it w:is then good dark and he could not recognize any one among the outlaws. "I have been on the scene and have tried to investigate the matter as far as I was able. I fourni where they had car ried the prisoner in the thickets and hung him to a limb, either to whip him or otherwise punish him. I found a pool of blood there, and from the signs there must have been a consid- rabie body of men. My constable says there were fifty or seventy-live. The prisoner ha> not been . cen or heard of since the lynching. I have had the creek ami mil] pond searched for his body, but have made no discovery of bim. It is the gen eral opinion that he was ordered to skip the country. "The facts leading to the lyn? bing are these: it was generally considered that Dave shaw did the stealing and the evi dence leading to proof was circumstan tial and would not probably convict him. It is kn' wn that he was running a one horse farm without any visible means of support, that corn cribs were being entered by means of false keys and corn taken cherefrom. This lynching is deplore?:-, by our l?est citizens. If any further facts come up I will notify you. The negroes are still searching for Dave." Gov. Tillman has instructed Solicitor Schnmport to make a vigorous investiga tion of the facts and bring the outlaws to justice. It is with deep regret we note the seeming increase of disposition among the people to visit summary punishment on supposed criminals in Judge Lynch's court '"Then lynching is resorted to for theft and housebreaking the door is thrown ".vide open for the reign of mob violence. Gov. Tillman should receive the earnest support of e-rcr-? ia.T-ab?ding man in the State in his commendable effort to bring the lynchers to face the awful consequences of their crime. I Mr. Burns in Keply to Mr. Cary. 'EnrroKS EEO VEE COUKTEB: In your last issue Mr. Jolm C. Cary makes a brief reply to my partial review of bis review, published in your issue of the 12th ultimo. I appreciate the gentlemanly spirit he evinces in the discussion of our factional j differences of opinion, and shall endeavor I to be equally respectful in what I shall ! say in reply. ! He, by a process of reasoning, which ! h? fails to make clear, reaches the illogi I cal conclusion that all Democrats who favor the platform adopted by the indus trial conference at St. Louis in February last are no more -Democrats, but belong to the Third or People's Party. How can Mr. Cary, as a loyal Democrat, hold ? such an unwarranted opinion, after the recent action of the county and State Democratic conventions has, by an over whelming vote, declared the principles of the St. Louis platform (which the Oconee convention adopted as its own resolutions) to be sound Jeffersonian Democracy? As a delegate in the last convention he exercised his legitimate right in opposing the adoption of these resolutions, but numbers won and he lost. Now, the minority should acqui-. esce in the will of the majority. How ever, if this action of the convention was so undemocratic, as he seems to think, why did he not bolt'.' Under Democratic rules submission or secession are thc only alternatives of a minority. Mr. Cary says my "position, v.hich in a nutshell amounts to this, viz: 'If the Democratic party does certain things-adopts thc Third or People's Party principles-we are Democrats!' " Where have I ever predicated my De mocracy on such hypothesis? I have always been a regular straight Democrat and have never affiliated with bolters, scratchers an independents. My Democ racy i.s older than the People's Party, and the principles which it now advocates were first formulated by industrial, non partisan organizations, including the Fanne rs' Alliance, of which I am a mem ber. Again. Mr. Cary attempts to predicate such to be my Democratic "position*" by taking two jungled, garbled extracts from my former article. In this he is very unfortunate, for those who will read my speech, made in the convention in its regular connection, will see from thc con text that the certain things I said if the D?mocratie party did not do, "it would go to pieces." "it was doomed." bao not the slightest reference to the Third or People's Party or ?ts principles. T will give tlie conditional admonitions made on the occasion alluded to. I said: "Unless there was an honest effort to give the people the relief they demanded the Democratic party would go IOP>"CS." I'lic other was: "If the Democratic party would not "need the voice of the people, and continued to bc run by machine politicians in thc interest of the pluto crats of the North, it was doomed.*' Does this alford a pretext for Mr. Cary's sinis ter charge that "if the Democratic party docs not do certain things adopts the Third or People's Party principles*'-1 am not a Democrat? If so, then the New York World, thc most influential Democratic paper in the United States, is also not D?mocrate, hecausc in one of its recent editorials it makes a terri!ile arraignment of the Democracy, when it said, "If ahaltisnot called in the prod?gate expenditures by the present Congress the Chicago conven ti<-?i may as well not meet." I but voice the sentiments of true Democracy hrcughout the country, which Mr. Cary -yjsst admit, and that is all there is in it. ?hese admonitions were not specific as to any set of demands of the people, but . ''-and hi support of the plain right ; - 3 to make any to pieces, is merely a gratu.*? tion of his own. If it were not so at! variance with his former utterances, I ? would say that it was his political "posi- j tion" resulting from a change of heart; since the adjournment of the recent j Mate convention. 1 advocated thc adoption of the St. j Louis platform, because I believe the ; masses to be right in the principles they ' there enunciated. I urged the Democ- . racy to adopt these planks, thus provej itself the party of the people, by becom- ' lng the means for them to secure the I ends of wise, honest, economical govern-1 ment. Now the fact, that after thc ad- : journment of this conference, the execu- j tive committee of the People's Party met and adopted this platform in t:>to, is | no n ason why the Democracy should ig- ? nore these demands of the people. On; the contrary, it should say to them that the People's Party is young and untried, while we are old and established, and take np these demands along with our: one idea tariff reform and lead to victory! Why does not Mr. Cary urge the Demo krat ;.. party to abandon its demand for free coinage of silver, tariif reform and against National banks and alien owner ship of land? For him to be consistent he should, because thc People's Party have incorporated these planks also in its platform. We have more regard for true Democ racy than many of its pretended friends. The large majority of white Democrats of South Carolina who endorse the St. Louis platform do not desire to sec the party commit suicide, but throw aside machine politicians and return to the principles taught by Jefferson and Jack son. (?..?nee should feel proud of the advanced position she assumed in her recent convention after a slight skirmish with the Antis, for the State convention fully vindicated her action. The l?g Four-Tillman. Irby, Talbert and Stokes -will put the national Democracy on record as regards our resolutions at Chi cago. Oconee declared her demands on the national Democracy, delegates were elected to support them before the State convention, that convention endorsed them and sends delegates to Chicago to try, as the ser mts of the whole people of South Carolina, to have them incor porated in the Chicago platform. This was sublime Democracy: true in princi ple, true in practice. Let us contrast Mr. Cary's idea of "endorsing the party and its nominees unconditionally." It would operate about this way: The local clubs would meet, thc people unconditionally endorse the party, the local bosses get themselves elected delegates to the county conven tion, where these bosses would fix county politics and the shrewdest get elected to the State convention; when it would meet they would fix matters to suit them selves, make slates, pull wires, cut and dry everything, nominate a State ticket and elect delegates to the national con vention of the shrewdest old rats in the barn-those who could make the people think they were doing the most, when in reality doing the least. Is it not the plainest declaration of bossism and machine politics that yon ever before heard? Time has been when it would work i but when the people felt that they were being robbed for the betefit of the few, they meekly asked these bosses, "What of .the night?" They arrogantly I replied, '(All's well; plow harder, work more and spend less," but the people were wiser than they thought, and in their indignation they arose in 1S90 and swept these bosses from off the face of the earth in South Carolina. It will, ne rer return to infest this generation with political leprosy. Mr. Cary imparts news indeed when he says: "For instance, when assembled as a secret, oath-bound organization, twenty-four members decided to adopt the platform and resolution of another political party as sound Democratic prin ciples and say to two thousand Demo cratic voters, 'This is Democracy.' " To what secret, oath-bound organization does he allude? Has Mr. Cary a little band of twenty-four members, joined in a secret, oath-bound organization in Seneca, of which he is president, who hold their dark lantern caucuses in the stilly night, after the Reformers have gone to bed, and grind out their resolutions and say to the two thousand Democrats in Oconee, this is Democracy! It would seem so, and this is his warning. So Democrats look out! Mr. Cary says the St. Louis. Ocala, anti-Cleveland Democrats threw off the name of Democracy and have unfurled the banner of the Third Party over in North Carolina. From which I infer that he would be glad to see the large majority of white Democrats in this State follow their example. If they would what would become of the Democ racy? What would become of white supremacy tn South Carolina? No, no. Mr. Cary, we propose to take care of the white man's government un der the rule of majorities. We have a State platform that suits us. on which wc propose to stand with both feet. This platform was made by the people of I South Carolina, its principles identical j with the St. Louis platform. Docs Mr. j Cary stand squarely upon this platform:' I Will he vote for Benjamin R Tillman for ? Governor if nominated by the September j convention? Respectfully yours. C. lt. D. .BlTRXS.

A large and attentive crowd were present, who showed by their attentiveness their appreciation of tho many good things said. The good people of Beaverdam were far more than equal to the emergency w:th their hospitality. During the meet ing Christians were brought nearer together and nearer to God, and we feel :issured that much good was accomplished .'or God and humanity. W. W. LEATHERS, Moderator. M. C.

The counties of Abbeville, Anderson, Barn-well, Berke ley, Chester, Clarendon, Darlington^ Edgefi?ld, Florence, Hampton, Lan?as ter, Laurens, Lexington, Marion, New berry, Orangeburg, Richland, Spartan burg, Sumter, U:aion, Williamsburg and York were represented. After discussion the following plat form was unanimously adopted: We, the prohibitionists of South Caro lina, in convention assembled, bow before Almighty God, and acknowledge Him as the Guide and Ruler in all true govern . ment. L We are unalterably opposed to che liquor traffic, a traffic by which at least $5,000,000 are annually taken from our already impoverished people to be squan dered by the liquor dealer and gambler, by which our courts are kept occupied with criminal business, our jails filled with prisoners, our penitentiary with convicts, our poor houses with paupers and our asylums with lunatics; by which many of our boys, after being educated, are unfitted for business and utterly ruined, and many of our girls degraded "into servants of drunken husbands, while the parents suffer untold misery; and by which our civilization is demoralized and thc very church of God hindered in its work: in brief, a traffic against the intel lectual, financial, moral, educational and religious intereste of the people. We, therefore, earnestly favor and will work for the enactment of such laws as will prohibit the manufacture and sale of intoxicating liquors for use as a beverage in our State. 2. We cordially invite the co-operation of all Democrats in this laudable effort for State prohibition, irrespective of their opinions on other issues already ! made up in the State. The following address was submitted by the same committee and adopted: The prohibitionists of South Carolina, in convention assembled, acknowledging Almighty God as thc source of all power in government, do hereby, in the name of God and humanity, issue to the people of South Carolina this address: The liquor traffic, as now fostered by governments, protected by laws, entrenched by long usage and tolerated beyond tue bounds of endurance, impos ing enormous, avoidable and economic burdens upon individuals, families and the State; the mother cause of poverty, rice and crime: the nucleus for impurity, anarchy and death is in either high or low license, which is unscrintural in princ iple and contrary to good govern ment, and should be utterly prohibited by law. Therefore we appeal to thc peo ple who have the right to be heard on all measures affecting them socially, morally, j financially and politcally, but who have I not heretofore tully exercised this right j in this question, to come to our aid. We call upon all lovers of righteous government in the State to use every ( effort for the prohibition of this traffic in ! this State. Wc recommend that the people demand that all candidates for the nouse and Senate be placed on record upon this question and thai no man shall receive the vote of the prohibitionists who refuses to announce his position on the question of prohibition. Among other resolutions the following were adopted : Resolved, That we r*"uest the Demo cratic State executive committee to place a separate box at the first primary elec I tion. in which the question of prohibi ? von may be voted on by thc Democratic voters of this Stat e, so as to arrive at the true sentiment of the people on this important question. Resolved, That a State executive com mittee be appointed to arrange a cam paign in the interest of prohibition, and that a county e?:ecutive committee be aajjnpjijied jbi__each county, whose duty it shall be to arrange \f..J\Tc m??xm?' each county, in' which the subject si be discussed by the people, and f uri" i appoint suitable men to attend the vot ing precincts, and such other duties as they may regard necessary. Resolved. That we earnestly request the Hon. L. D. Childs to canvass the State in the interest of prohibition.

All communication with the back country, except by skiff or dugout, is cut off. The water is cutting all kinds of capers. Bayous and sloughs that have heretofore run down stream during tlood times are now rushing up stream at lightning rapidity, regardless of all the laws of gravitation, taking not only farmers* fences, but actually taking Iiis crops by the roots, soil and all, and carrying it no m ?n knows where. Whole fields are reported from which every p?r ele of loose soil bas been swept away. While the back water at Arkansas City is eight-tenths below that of IS'.K), six miles West of here it is reported up to 1890, and np about the Amos Bayou country it is above 1S90. Water from thc Arkansas passing through Gum swamp and other places is now pouring over the banks into Bayou Bartholomew in a num ber of ?daces and overflowing that stream, damaging thc planting community along its banks. A trip through a portion of thc sub merged districts of the Arkansas and White rivers reveals thc fact that the stories of suffering have not l>een half told. Without any attempt at exaggera tion it can be said that the entire valley is in a condition bordering on a state of horror. In Desha county, Arkansas, one of the richest farming counties in the South, there are not one thousand acres of dry land to be seen outside of L&voni circles. Not a farm has escaped, and of the entire population, with the exception of a few negroes, who are roosting in the second stories of houses, not a human being is to be seen. Hollindel, up the White river, has been swept off the face of the earth and the remnants of houses are lodged among the limbs of the trees along the banks of that mighty torrent There is not an inhabitant there to-day, nor a soul living at Chicot City. The back water has come forty miles from the Arkansas river and is up to the sec ond story of buildings. Red Fork, a place of 400 people, is no more, and the same can be said of Pen dleton. Relief boats have come in from that section, bringing surviving families. Large plantations, known as the Black more place, Allen Maples and Green places, are under water and ruined, and tenants are camping around on high spots of ?round, wet and hungry. ? All around Catfish Point the waters come rushing in from th? *Arkap#as river, sweeping through forty mile's of planta tion property. The State Executive Committee. The State Democratic executive com mittee held a meeting in the Carolina National bank on Tuesday night of last Week and agreed on a programme for the ?tete campaign. It was at first arranged that the campaign should open at Barn well o* June 14, but after the election of Gov. Tillman as a delegate to the national/ convention, it was decided to make a change in the dates, so that he will be ?ble to keep both appointments. As changed, the dates of the various county meetings will be as follows : Barnwell, June 7. Hampton, June 8. Beaufort, Juno 9. Copeton, June 10. Charleston, June 14. Berkeley, June 15. ,- Williamsburg, June l?. Georgetown, June 17. Horry, June 27. Marion, June 29. Florence, June 30. Darlington, July 1. Richland, July 4. Orangeburg, July 5. Aiken, July 6. Edgefield, July 7. Lexington, July 8. Clarendon, July 19. Sumter, July 20. Marlboro. July 21. Chesterfield, July 23. Kershaw, July 26. Lancaster, July 28. York, July 29. Chester, July 30. Fairfield, August 2. Union, August 4. Spartanburg, August ?'?. Greenville, August 9. Pickens, August 10. Oconee, August ll. Anderson. August 12. Abbeville. August 16. Newberry, August 18. Laurens, August 20. As will bc seen, the candidates, as well as the people of the State, will have a breathing spell of ten days between the meetings at Georgetown and Horry, and eleven days between the meeting at Lex ington and Clarendon. At the request of Mr. S. A. Nettles, of Clarendon, the executive committee passed a resolution instructing the county executive committees throughout the State to provide for a test of the prohi bition sentiment of the Democratic party. The arrangement will be as fol lows: In addition to the other boxes provided at the regular Democratic pri maries, there will be a box in which the question of prohibition or no prohibition can be voted on. The vote will be tabu lated and announced the same as the other votes of the State, and the party will stand committed on the question as a majority of the votes are cast. Rectal $ota.

Don't Take Our Word, but call your druggist to one side and ask him privately which of all the reme dies advertised to cure rheumatism he would recommend.

A fact worth knowing is that blood diseases which all other medicines fail to cure yield slowly but surely to thc blood purifying properties of P. P. P. (Prickly Ash, Poke Root and Potassium). Many letters are received by the P. P. P. Co. from patients, saying they had used such and such a blood purifier and sarsaparillas, mentioning their names and stating they did no good, and they did not get well until P. P. P. (Prickly Ash, Poke Root and Potassium) was tried. These letters we started to publish, when the various manufacturers wrote us fear ful letters, and we discontinued same, but P. P. P. (Prickly Ash. Poke Root and Potassium) is triumphant on every occa sion, and has made a host of friends in cures of syphilis, rheumatism, scrofula, blood poison, dyspepsia, malaria and female complaints. People wonder when they find how rapidly health is restored by taking P. P. P. (Prickly Ash, Poke Root and Potas sium). The reason is simple, as it is a powerful combination of the roots and herbs of the home woods.

Mrs. Owens had a- tender feeling for Taylor, and when she saw him locked up she repented. Then she got Attorney Burrows to de fend Taylor, and herself gave bonds upon which he was released. Instead of being eager to prosecute him, she said she would do anything to save the prisoner. The evidence, however, was conclusive, and there was only one way to save him. By the statutes a wife in Illinois is not a competent witness against her husband unless she chooses to testify. So they got married.
