Till: STATE CAMPAIGN. THE DIG MEETINC AT COLUMBIA S|hht'Ik"i by Senator Hampton, Captain Tillmsiii ami Othcra - .\ Horrible Aft'lilriil .MuriiliB Kay The campaign meeting for Kichland came o!V in Columbia < >11 the 'J itli inst. The < b een ville News gives the following report: When the partule arrived at the fair groiutds the speakers were greeted with round after round of cheers. At first only about a thousand people were oftjfohe grounds, but stoady additionsswelled the number to near 4,000. before the hour had arrived tlio speakers' stand. which had been erected iti the exhibition ling facing tin. main exposition building, was oeeupied by about titty people, nearly all being representative men of the State. Chairman John T. Sloan. Jr..called thi' meeting to order ami announced that the proceedings would be opened with prayer by the Itev. Ellison Capers. That reverend gentleman invoked most earnestly and eloquently the guidance and sanction of the Divine power on all tue proceedings oJ the day. Chairman Sloan then rose and made an appeal to the audi etice for order and for respectful at tention for each speaker. He then presented Senator Wade Hampton, th > grand and great hero who in p tee and war had had the prosperity of liis State at heait and had travelled four days to reaeli Columbia to tlisen.ss issues which have a tendency to the disintegration of the party and to soil the name of the grand old Stab. \\ ii n Senator Hampton rose he was eheered to the eeho. Hats went otl'aiid handkerchiefs were waving, wide from every throat went up some ny of applause.

A 1 1 v. < I' i'iiii' n> me mine s great leaner and patriot. Senator Hampton stood erect while Hit' chming nns going on and when it had sutlieiently moderated to allow him to go rh?ad i-oiniuonced his six't eh. He saiil: "Mr. Chairman an !

He was ashamed to hear thai it had not been dOiTETtD some of the meetings. He never expected to see the day when a SoTJfh Carolina audience could insult JqLn Brat ton. who had led South Coro liniuns into the jaws of death. HftcL tlie people forgotten the sf rviecp. of. ;ieh m< u to tlie State? / Senator Hampton urged agaiujft di% don in his most earnest nuumfl. He considered the high tariff-the hiine of tlm farmers and the sub trea-ur? bill a humbug. He said he dreaded to hear of divisions flow when on tin calendar of Congress there were already Iniquitous flection laws which boded incalculable evil to the State. If the people 'had not had self government they were themselves to blame for it. They had not done their duty to the party and State in electing delegates to the conventions. While Senator Hampton was speak'1' dig Colonel Karle arrived 011 the ground and was greeted with a wild demonstration, interrupting Hampton's remarks for some minutes. General Brattoii was presented amid wild choring and gave his warning to the people in 110 uncertain terms. He was heard with earnest attention and occasionally iuterrup ted with vociferous applause. When Tillman was introduced there was a wild hu/.zuh from the crowd in front of the stand, which was largely made up of the Kdgeliehl contingent of Tillmnnites. Hisses mingled with the cheers indicated the opposition sentiment, which Chairman Sloan soon quieted by determined action. During his speech all sorts of jeers were thrown out at the agitator, but his pluck seemed to make an impression 011 the crowd, and such demonstrations grew less frequent as he proceeded. ( uptain Tillman spoke 011 the sumo qm stiona which.have been the body of his other speeches and alluded to he defeats which farmers' convenions had met for three successive years. His speech was interrupted by a heavy shower which drove the people to the main building and most effectually dampened those on tin- stand, where umbrellas were ruirtJfl. On resuming Captain Till man went 011 with the Charge of bamboozling and debauchery. Captain Tillman was questioned as to his war record. He was urged to give it by Col. A. 0. Haskell. Tillman: "I IVas too young to be in the war." Haskell: "How old were you when the war ended' . Tillman: "I was seventeen years old, IvnUf was a ^para^yzed invldul during Hu^last, j}is luonliia of 4ltk* war." Ilefore Captain Tillman made this explanation Colonel Haskell stepped near him to stop the vociferation of' the crowd. Tillman put out his hand to call his attention. I laHkell recoiled from him with the words, "Don't touch mc." Tillman said: "I whh not aware t1 .. Col. Haskell's animosity could Ui. ?far that he would shrink from me us ii i was a poison<xl arrow." r *"' 1 Colonel Haskell hero poii.tc<i to his scarred face. Tillman naid: "Yen-, yon were shot ami I honor you for it." Captain Tilliuun then ealh'tl 011 a General Capers to hear testimony as to the services of his brother in the e war. .1 Geueneral Capers said that Jim Tillman was color bearer of his regi H incut. 1, Here the jieoplc gru?v (piite boisterous ami Hampton had to arise anil bog attention. 5. Captain Tillman's charges of aristoeraey were stronger ami more bit- 1 ter than 1 ver. He alliuleil to the wording of the circular signed by Columbia ' men which he read. "Caste against * caste" was his quotation. He closed 1 by saying that all he had charged had been explained, but as long as the li other side kept up its clamor he a would light into Charleston 011 the e same grounds. If he was Governor lie would not be the Governor of 11 class, city or town but would do his f dutv regardless of whom he of- ? fended. Colonel Earle spoke from u buggy between the stand and building. As he stood there erect ike sun falling on J his classic features and bared forehead the admiration of the people showed itself in a tremendous out- J burst of applause. He pursued his J argument in the calui, masterly man- ner which has marked his utterances from the beginning of the campaign. ( His speech was strong and met with t general approval from all who heard c it. When he had finished he was borne back to the stand on the shoul- ( ders of some of Hie Sumter men who l came here today. 1 Colonel Jno. C. Haskell was the next speaker. His eloquence, so j widely known, failed not of its calling, i He had come to answer the charges ? of Tillman, and this he did in so ef- { fectivc a manner that any reasonable muii should have been convinced. He presented figures in abundance to * show the voice the farmers had iti the ' State government since '70. Tillman ' was not on the stand, notwithstanding the fact that Haskell had informed him of his intention to answer his ' charges, that lie might make good or retract them. <The meeting closed with a speech ' of E. 13. Clary, who was guyed with 1 the utmoi t good nature by the audience. He said he had charged no e corruption against the State govern- 1 ment. I Tin- MrrllnK at KilxrllfM.

Birmingham, Ala., June 20.?Charles H. J. Taylor, a negro lawyer of At- V lanta, who was minister to Liberia [ during the Cleveland administration, y proposes to take the colored voters over to the Democratic party in a (' body. Taylor has perfected a plan ft for a convention to be held in Atlanta ' next month, to be composed of one j" colored delegate from each State in , the Union. The purpose of the con- y ention, as announced by Taylor, is * to decide upon the best plan of pre- . paring figures to prove to the negroes that they have never received any u favors from the Republican [party and ^ never will receive any. In an inter view with the Sun correspondent today Taylor said that he has visited a . number of States, North and South, " in the interest of his nlan, and everywhere finds most of the educated and intelligent negroes in full sympathy with the movement. They be- " gin to reali/e, he r lys, that they can ?never hope to bo more than mere vot ing machines v.hil they remain in , the Republican i?arty, and that their 11 real fricnds are the Democrats. Tay lor thinks fully 1,000,000 negro voters will vote the Democratic ticket at the M "next national elcdtion. \ Short Will.

My Dear Sir: I call with pleasure your friendly mouiieeinont, on behalf of the eiti iis of Rock Hill, four years ago, and ncwed in 1888, proposing my canidacy for Governor ofSouthUurolina. 'bile absent tcni|>ornvily in Alabama ,st spring I received a copy of your rper renewing the nomination for 190. As the evidence of friendly reird by the chitons of Rock Hill, iese several mentions of my name >r the executive ollieo have been iglily appreciated and greatly valued 0 me, coming, as they do, from a immunity in tlio front rank of pro ressive South Carolina cities, niovig forward 011 the correct liues of tduslrial and business development -a suggestive example, worthy of nitation. 1r looked forward to this campaign h presenting a favorable opportunity 1 discuss important party mothods nd matters of grave public concern ;> the State. Both call imperatively jr reform. The canvass lias been liti ited, however, and the issues are cemingly made upon certain personal lies. What, in my humble opinion, liould have invited a temperate'disussion by the best thought and exerionce of our State, has been unwisely forced into a purely personal jsue, marked by misrepresentation nd invective. Disguise it as we may, there are irge questions in South Carolina to c wisely solved, pressing public mat ers evolved by the slow growth of lauy years, either originating in iuiiquated precedent, or founded in an nported constitution. To such high lane this year's canvass should have een raised and might have been eleated, but has not been; only an cnoreed personal campaign is in proress. Nevertheless, its general direcion is toward reform, and the only iroper course now, in my opinion, is o surround it with every conciliatory lfluenee and wisest counsel. The ltimate result cannot bring harm to outh Carolina, if a prudent managelent of tlio canvass is mutually greed upon, with recognition of the ict that conciliatory language is bet3i' than unmerited abuse. The excitement of the canvass will resumably run its course, and the cptember Convention will finally ecide fox- the wholo party. Then ill come a season of quiet and rest, time for calm rellection, which, isely used, can bo utilized to the enefit of the party and the State. You are well aware that I have not t any time been an active candidate >r Governor. My position, publicly inted, has been, that I would take o step to that end, and yet I have It, and have frankly said, that I ould not decline a service-call which felt came from a majority of the arty, in responding to which I might 0 useful. Under the circumstances, and in ic present condition of the campaign 1 the State, I would ask that you iscontinue the mention of my name >r Governor in your valued journal. "With renewed thanks to my itock '.ill friends, whose good wishes I due, and in the hope that unoflially I may be of use to our party id people, at all times I am yours >spectfully, Wm. A. Courteney.

' ' Columbia, Juno '24.- One of the r. , saddest and most hen iblo accidents tluit have over happened was caused * j by the preniatuie explosion of a can 11011 at the fair grounds today just i before the speaking began. The ar , tillory had been located in tlio valloy in the rear of the speakers' stand, 1 and several s ilvos had been tired. . W. H. Cassou had his lingers on the vent and a charge was being rammed in when a messenger caiue with in| struclions to cease tiling. Mr. Cas- 1 son's hand slipped from the toucliholc, the air rushed in, and before 1 the men around could stir, there was ' an explosion, and they were knocked aside like so many chips. Ol.in Barr of Bavr'sLanding, fifteen miles from Columbia, had been loading. He was thrown forward as if by a catapult, and horribly mangled. Such a spectacle is rarely if ever beheld. The poor fellow's arms were litterally shot to pieces and his hands hung by threads. Through the coagulated blood that disguised his face could be seen a deep hollow where an eyo ought to have been. Dowu to the waist there were bloody wounds causing a sick eniug sightAfter being strapped to the boards he was tenderly removed, and as they us? : s ? iiuii iu 11 carnage 1110 orave xeilow's mangled lips parted, and he stammered: "Did anyone else get hurt." After being carried down the street both arms wore amputated just below the elbow. Both eyes are going. Lieutenant John M. Stork, one of the most popular young men in the city, was also horribly wounded. Blood ran from his arms like water, and formed a crimson pool around him. His right hand was in shreds, and his face was blackened and bloody. He was removed to his Lome and his right arm was amputated. \V. H. Casson was also painfully injured. Though his left hand was horribly mangled he thought not of himself until the other wounded men had been attended to. Ban- died tonight at 11 o'clock, his father being present. Casson will lose the fingers of hs left hand. He says that ho did not take his fiuger from the vent, but that thoy forgot to swab the cannon. ll.uiipaiit lladicalM. 1 Crihaoo, June '2f>.?The Republicans of the Third Illinois District today renominated William E.

The lump was cut off, and on being opened was found to contain a lot of small-sized rattlesnakes. Mi-. Ballard says the day after the mare was bred she was bitten by a rattlesnake, but suffered no serious effect. The question that puzzles local scientists is by what means the rattlesnakes were propagated in the colt's jaw. Happy Women, What is it that makes women moro smiling and lmppy looking than men? 1 We meet them on the cars, on the streets, in the country, by the sea shore, ulwnys smiling, teeth a glistening, eyes a dancing. Ah! tho secret ' is thoy aim to please. It is an effort 1 in many instances for them to smile, ! and wore it not for a desire to look pleasing and pretty many would never smile again. Why? Because in a huge majority of instances they (ion 1 ieei iikc smiling. liioy feci more like crying. With their nervous ' aches, weakness and bearing down pains, life to them is a burden. What a gold-find to many a physician is a rich sick woman. Why should ho aim to cure her and deny himself the pleasure of presenting his bills with i the usual regularity.

White, 310 Wythe Street, Petersburg, Vs., writes: "I have used B. B. B. with happy rosults, and others have taken it at my advice and ore delighted with its curative re suits." J. N. Gregory, Butler Postoftice, S.

She is now doing her own washing, a thing she had not been able to do for four years." Criticising a Young Ladj. "8h*o would be a pretty girl but for ono thing." "What's that ?" asked Charley.
