Two South Carolinians. [ Richmond News-Leader.] In all the varied and remarkable history of American politios there never has been a more impudent episode than the speech of Benjamin Ryan Tillman, United States Sena tor from South Carolina, at Aiken a few days ago, in which he undertook to explain the defeat of Wade Hampton for re-election to the Sen ate in 1808. Aiken is the place | where Gen. Hampton was "howled down" by Tillman's followers in 1892 and denied a hearing when he at tempted to make a public speech. Hampton defeated himself, Till man told his hearers. Hampton would not swear allegiance to tho new movement, would not bow to the new influences. He had mislaid his registration tioket and could not vote between Col. Haskell, his kins man, an independent candidate for Governor, and Tillman, the regular nominee, although he had avowed his purpose to swallow Tillman to maintain the party organizaron. He was defeated by a coalition of the Farmers' Alliance and the Till man forces. He was defeated for the United States Senate by a man who ten year < before had been a fugitive from justice with a price on his head acoused of murder-and at that an infinitely better and manlier man than Tillman. He lived to be deserted and oast aside jy Tillman and to declare before his death that one thing he wanted to live for was to atone to the people of South Carolina for foisting Ben Tillman on them-for he was Tillman's best friend and benefactor and counted him in for his first nomination. In all the political history of the world there is no fouler politioal assassination than that of Wade Hampton. There never has been a more vivid contrast between two men than between Hampton and Tillman. Wade Hampton was born in 1821. At the beginning of the Civil war he was 42 years old, a man of large family and great substance and affairs and boundless influence and he had been a steadfast friend of the Union. When South Carolina se ceded he volunteered personally for active service, gave to the cause with lavish hand, went far to the front, fought to the last, poured out his blood in Virginia fields, saw his oldest son die in battle by his side. Benjamin Ryan Tillman was born in 1849. In 18C5 he was sixteen years old, of military age according to Confederate laws-and he had rheumatism. He has lived forty-one years since then and has no rheuma tism now. In 1876 Hampton went to South Carolina from Mississippi, answering the call of his native State, and led a forlorn hope in a desperate and apparently hopoless fight for white supremacy. In all that bitter strug gle he insulted nobody, made no vaunt of his own prowess, did no act, spoke no word to cause disoord or excite any class, element, faction or race of his people against any other. He had a sharp issue with the then President of the United States, but did not stand out and abuse him at a safe distance. He faced the Presi dent man to man, and when asked what he would do if the radical gov ernment was organized, replied quietly that he would have every radical tax collector in the United States hanged in twenty-four hours -and he meant it, although he knew that iu exeouting his threat he would put his own neck in tho halter, for he was but thc nominal head of an unrecognized government, and in the eyes of the law but a private citizen. He made no vociferous proclama tions of valor, brandished no pitch fork ; but he let bin friends and fol lowers know that he was ready to lead in South Carolina's cause while any wpuld follow, even to the des perate end of pitting the State against the whole power of thc United States if whito supremacy was denied. And nobody who had seen him lead a cavalry chargo doubted that ho would make good his promise. Hampton, cavalier of cavaliers, gentle, quiet, unostentatious, a fight ing man and not a noisy man, an nouncing his courage only by his deeds, giving his blood and estate and offering hil lite for South Caro lina and proving by his readiness to make any sacrifice for love of her, to dare any chance in her cause, too modest to prescut his own claims or to speak of his own services, too proud and too loyal to the traditions even to go to Columbia while his seat was in jeopardy and his political life threatened. Tillman, blatant, coarse, boastful, securing , luco by stirring class feel ing and prejudice, eagerly seeking job after job, gettiug his living from them all these fourteen years, posing in safe sanctuaries as a desperado, vaunting his own valor, sending armed crim?nala to maintain his d?9 pensary law by shooting down citi zens, hurling insult and vituperation from stump and Senate chamber, ex iu??ug uimsol? a* the redeemer and saviour of the people, brandishing his pitchfork while it was popular. And Tillman, with soaroely veiled sneers, undertakes to palliate the crime of the rejection and humilia tion of the man who did more to honor and illustrate and deliver South Carolina than any man she has produced !

Several prominent men will be present and make speeches.

The town authorities of Townville will have several deputies on the grounds and the best of order will be insured. The Rev. Albert Peele, of North Caro lina, has raised 105 bushels of corn on one acre of ground in that State. This was doing very well for North Carolina; but Farmer Zeke Drake, of Marlboro county, South Carolina, still holds the record for the United Statos, and, we believe, for the world. He raised on one aere of land on bis farm in this State more than 155 bushels of corn. Locals from Wayside. [Too Lato for Last Issue.] Wayside, July 24.-We have plenty of rain.

Death ol Aurelia Pearl Ordway. [Camden (Me.) Herald, July 20.] [The following announcement will be read with sorrow by the many friends of Mr. and Mrs. D. P. Ord ! way in Oconee county. It will be remembered that the subject of tbis notioe visited at the home of ber grandfather, J. E. Barrett, near Hopewell, during the past winter.] Born March 22,1S93 ; died July 9, 1906. Aurelia Pearl Ordway, the only child of Mr. and Mrs. D. P. Ordway, passed quietly away Mon day morning at her parent's home, on High street, with valvular heart disease. Her sickness was very brief, being confined to her bed only two days. She was born in Camden, and, with the exception of two winters spent in the South, has lived here. In her early ohildhood she showed the admirable characteristics of self forgetfulness, purity and the great est thoughtfulness for the welfare of others. In her last trip South a woman was so impressed with her genial manner and kindly spirit that she wrote her a letter, from which the following is taken : To the Pearl of "The Comanche," December, 1905 - Greeting : My Dear Sweet Friend-Many times since my return from tho South has my mind reverted to the dear little miss who so kindly played the piano for ns on our way South, and who so kindly found some of the steamer's souvenir cards and brought them to me. I can see you now. It would afford me great pleasure to hear from the dear lu ari who so kindly enter tained the passengers on that South ern trip. In her Behool and home life her sweet disposition, pleasant smile and bright face won for her many fond friends and loving associates. Letters from her received by her playmates and friends, while she was m the South last winter, show her mature intellect, her manifest ability and her ready wit, coupled with a taste for illustrating with her pen i eil, especially in caricature, which will always be most oherished by the recipients. Little Pearl has passed from our sight, but ber beautiful example of self-abnegation, chastity and remark able patience will ever live in our fondest memories. The deep affection and sincere regard for her, as well as the sympa thy and desire to give comfort and cheer to the parents and relatives, were expressed in loving messages, tender sen-ices and beautiful floral tributes. The funeral servioes were held at 2 o'clock Wednesday afternoon, July ll, from hor home on High street. "I know no life divided, O Lord of Life, from Thee; In Thee is life provided For all mankind and me; I know no death, O Father, Because I live in Thee; Thy life it is which frees us From death eternally."

Ansel that he is a "straddler" and all that sort of thing are unwarranted and unworthy. His position on the living issues of the campaign are as sharply deflued as possible, we object in part to his platform beoause it is not broad enough as to local option, not because we do not know his attitude. His dis pensary views were announced about a ?'ear before the campaign oponed-favor og loo ul option as bet ween county dis tensarles, independent, and prohibition; e being personally a prohibitionist. This announcement was far ahead of those of most of the other candidate* and it is down in black and white. Il? j han circulated it in posters over bis sig nature all over the State sinoe the oam paign opened. Is that dodging? The fact? in the ease axe: io 1800, when most of us were partisans, either for or against Tillman, Mr. Ansel waa not a partisan. He refused to array himself sharply against either faction. He was not a fnotionalist. But nobody says that he occupied two positions. We are free to gay that we prefer a partisan at times and we liked the politics of those who were in the fight with us bet ter than we liked the politics of Mr. Ansel. At the same time, fairness com pels us to say that Mr. Absei showed no sign of weakness. On the contrary it required more inflexible firmness to be a non-partisan in those days than lt did to get out and "holler1,* for one side or another. Mr. Aus?! chose his place then and be stuok to it. There is no doubt about that-nobody could move him to anger against either group of Demoorats in South Carolina. Mr. Ansel is the son of a German im migrant and was a poor boy in Walhalla. He had brains and he workod bis way up. He became a lawyer and succeeded. He made a capital solicitor. He lacked two votes in the Legislature of being elected judge. We lived in Greenville and we never heard a man breathe a syl lable against bis personal record. He is not rich, but he is fairly independent and his word is as good as any man's bond. He pays bis debts. He drinks no whiskey. He is an elder in his church. He was the law partner of such men as the late George G. Wells, the late Judge James 8. Co th ran and the late James L. Orr, and no one of those men would have been associated with any but a worthy man. If the refusal of Mr. Ansel to get ex cited about Tillmanism or Anti-Tillman ism was a orlme, he ought to be defeated, but that is the sum and substance of the charges against him. There are other men in the race just as good personally as Ansel, but there is no other any less of a sti add 1er. You don't see the State dispensary candidates going into the Brice law "dry" counties and Baying that they will ask for the repeal of the Brice law-except perhaps Mr. Blease. And we don't believe that even Mr. Blease will dare go into Marlboro county, where they have bad prohibition about sixty years and toll those people that if elected he will try to have dispensary liquor shops established in that county.

Washington, July 23.-Discussing the new meat inspection law, Secretary Wil son said that there was considerable mis apprehension regarding its scope. It does not, he said, apply to any but slaughtering and meat paoking houses doing au in tor-State business. "If the people of this country," said the Secretary, "want to he assured that the meat that goos into their homes from those establishments doing a purely State and local business is clean and whole some, they enter on a crusade for a gene ral cleaning up. I am powerless myself to act. Recently I wont through some of these houses, not embraced within the Federal law, and found them in a nasty, filthy condition, and in some cases using diseased animals. "It is my one regret that the Federal law does not reach them, but I earnestly hope the State and oity officials will look after them as rigorously as we propose to look after the others.''
