Thire came dangerously near being a personal difficulty i>n the stand, betwfeen Governor Tillman and Col. Orr, the Conservative candidate for Lieutenant Governor,which voyld have resulted in a Hot. In his speech, Governor Tillman asked Colonel Orr for h:s authority for saying that a preacher had said that he (Tillman) daunted his profanity in public. Col. Orr replied that he did Qet divulge conversations and added that Tollman knew i he statement was true ae he couid ascertain by appealing to the preachers ih general The Governor said thkt sometimes an oath slipped out. hut, Jwu? so nitty on <foe occasion during the campaign. He appealed to the ladies prescntjo signify if in their opinion they considered him a blackguard, but there was no response from them. I'lic Governor then said that Orr or any other mm who said he flaunted his profanity in public lied. Col. Orr advanced to the Governor and atching him by the arm wheeled him around and asked him if he Was trying to rnise a personal difficulty.. Tillman said he was not and Orr shook hi* Anger in his face aud told him that he Could not iutiinsti that he (Orr) lied Without having it thrown in his (Tillman'c) teeth. He told him further that Tillman bad boasted of being "Almighty God gentleman." The Governor said so he had, and Orr replied that He did not do himself oredit when He made you.

The reCo.d is one which every Southerner will read with pride and every other American should rejoice in. Ws can take only a few of the most striking passages in that record. The 8outh produced 585,942,000 bushels of corn in 1891, a gain of bout 75 per cent, over the production in 1881. The gain in cotton production wa< about the-same, from 5,450,000 bales in 1881 to nearly 9,000,000 bales last year. The gain in railroads is even more remarkable. Ten years ago the South had 23,000 miles of railroad; now it has about 45,000, a gain of nearly 90 per cent, and the increase in the number ol passengers and the amount of freight carried has been enormous. Between 23,000,000 and 24,000,000 tons of coal were mined in tbu South in 1891, only about 6,000,000 in 1881. The value of exports from Southern ports has increased from $257,533,401 to $349,801,999, a gain of 36 per cent., which is nearly five times ,the gain made at the other ports of the United States. The Southern output of iron is nearly 325 per cent, greater than in 1881. The gain in manufacturing and banking and all branches of business has been great. The assessed value of property is nearly two billions greatai than in 1881. _______ Growing Cotton in Connecticut.

David is gardeuer fo Benjamin Orosvenor and has a little farn of his own at Pomfret Street. He har been trying vainly for several years t< make peofne believe his cotton theory, and th's year has verified it by growini cotton on his farm. His crop is a stnai one, but it looks splendid. Johnson, who tended thousands of seres of cottOE in the South, says that his Pomfret Street {slants are quite as luxuriant and prorais |ng as any that are raised in Dixie. H< adds that, while the Northern season is i short one, the soil here is richet and th< plants thrive better than in the South. He also grows tine sweet potatoes.

Replying to your request nnder date 1 of the 5th instant inrelation to supplying the place of national band circulation, I hw to eifi that io my own judgment the beat eubatituto is what the people of Kan tea favored fourteen years ago, namely, United 8t .tea notes, commonly called greenbacks; for ns you know, national bank notes are fcdecraable in United States notes. I think it would be well to abolish the whole sysiMaettoX ^lta|s Ifo banking institution shonld^dg^pef-mitted t? issue anything which i*TO be used as legal tender money unless the issue is supported by the power, au<J the inaterinl used, whatever it may hi, should not be redeemable in anythibg. It ought to go out to the people as ~$ioney, fullfledgod, ready for duty, without any weight or impediment or conditions of nny sort, what ver. What we use as money should be absolutely free frjfii all conditions, so that there could be up "runs" on banks in time of stringency, and no panics because debtors are unable to obtain legaltender money. I belr ve that the time has come to nationalize our money. We bonk one long step in that directiou when we adopted our national banking system. We taxed Otitis bank notes out of existence, substituted a national currency for a purely lo. al ouifency; and it was | only a short time alter embarking in this new enterprise until! rie discovered that the bankers of the cointry were masters of the financial situation. We find that lusiead of servin* thrlneoulB thev kci-vpH . themselves. "In "188a "frei v were $858,- J 000,000 of bank notesjeircutatiou Bince that timo about $219)0 0,000 of it has ! been retired, not bee use the people did * not need the money, , but because the banks realized a profit' frftm the sale of 1 their bond at premium, the bonds that ? they had deposited as 1 security for ciiQU ' latiou . Our experience and that of other ' nations has been thabt banking corpora- ' tioos are private scheme* for profit to indi- 1 vidual persons, and oiir observation has taught tit that there is, only one safe way J i to avoid the dangers 10 which that sot t of financial management subject us; tint 1 is for the nation itself io prepare its own 1 money, every dollar of-it, isauo it to the people directly though government agencies, wholly without "the use ifd in tervention of banking corporations or other private agencie^J You undersUud fjrrm the forcg-.ing that I would aot onlx ubstitutC United ' "fJlSTbis tfoteJ,, of frensudy'Botes," if you choose, for national hank notes as they 1 are being retired, but I would substitute that sort of money forari bauk issues; and I -would do even more than that; I would not make money--dlit of a promise to pay; that is to say, I would not wiite out a promise to pay rfonev and call that promise money; but I would use a piece of paper just as we arc now us:ng a piece of gold or a piece of silver, and make that money, providing} in the law what its functions shall bo That puts the Influence, the credit, and the power of all the people behind the money. Then we will have gold and silver and paper at par, one with the Aher; and that, if we will reduce rates ofinterest down to the level of profit on Hbor, so that men can make as tnuch npney farming or blacksmithing or carmntering as they can by lending money/ will give us a safe currency, a sound J financial system, and no more motley panics. v I * i I,. l. folk on ras dollar.
