Maaofoctaren, AUGUSTA, GEORGIA. 80TT0K niCSS OH Evaporators, ’ Smoke Stacks and General Sheet Iron Work- Pat Fab.16, 1 Au Orderly Gathering of About 1,500 Persons. The second meeting of the cam paign was held in Edgefield on Sat urday, iu the presence of about 1,500 persons, of whom a good many were ladies. The complexion of the crowd, from a political standpoint, was such as to afford much satisfaction to the Conservative ticket. It was six of one and half a dozen of the other. There was the usual amount of cheer ing and some howling, but nothing of the boisterousuess and turbulence that characterized the Greenville meeting. There was enthusiasm ga lore, but tbe utmost good order pre vailed. Governor Tillman’s speech was very lengthy, consuming ten minutes more time thau tbe combined speeches of Sheppard and Orr. He exhibitec much bitterness, and, as usual, fel back on his stock of choice expres sions. His drive through the town in the morning elicited no enthusi asm whatever Governor Sheppard’s reception was such as to inspire him with the be lief that he was near to the hearts of his people. He was warmly greeted ami enthusiastically cheered. He and Col. Orr struck some sledge hammer blows that evidently had their effect. A half dozen other speakers were heard from, aud the meeting lasted six hours. Gov. Tillmau spoke first, and we condense from the Augusta Cbroui cle’s report: He said he had been maligned and traduced, and he was proud to stand iu Edgefield and let his people judge between him and the men who op posed him. [Prolonged applause and cries of “Tell it, Governor.”] He asked for order, reminding tha audience that some of them had come thirty miles to hear the speaking on both sides, and that it was necessary to have quiet in order to hear it. He said that if Sheppard was elect ed the corportions would rule, but if he were elected the people would rule. He said the election of Sheppard meant playing to the corporations, banks and railroads. “Now let me unfold man Mr. Sheppard was brought forward for the office of Goveruor,” He said that “up to March all the people and the press of the State had been pleased with his administration, because it was a success, and they said Tillman made a good Governor,' but the mo ment it was found that tbe Legisla ture didn’t support him and did not make into law the measures he rec ommended, his old onponents and nine-tenths of the newspapers of the State took hope again to defeat him. He said that nine-tenths of the news papers of South Carolina were subsi dized and bought. I will tell you what a bank president in Greenville, (a friend of his,) told me aud also what a. friend in Columbia told^^B&s was told that tne bub‘au v PTrs of the State had said they would give. $100,000 to defeat Tillman’s re-elec- to you,” said Governor Till- “the manifestation by which tion. He referred to the Coosaw case and reminded his audience that all those who in the last campaign were Auti- Tillmanites were against him and were for the Coosaw Company in the case. He read a portion of a letter written to the manager of the Coosaw Company, in which he stated that the State would willingly allow the com pany to go ahead and mine pending the trial of the case. They wanted to compromise, but, as I have said, I have no compromise in me, and that’s what I am. Goveruor Tillman referred to his advocacy of a $3 poll tax. He defend ed his position and explained it, say ing that it was right, aud that he did it for the good of tbe people of the State. It was to aid the public school system, which was a farce now aud always would be without something like this to raise more money for the purpose of schools. In regard to his seeking office he said that at the last election he did not seek the office of Governor, but that he was the only man among the farmers who had the pluck and brains to carry the fight to a successful issue. His speech about preferring to go to hell with his followers thau to heaven witli Sheppard and his had not been fully quoted. He had said originally that he meant no irreverance, but used the expression to show the strength of his feeling iu the matter. He was not a member of the church, not a Baptist who drank aud gambled, but a poor sinner. Gov. Sheppard was the next one to speak after Gov. Tillman stopped. He was received with applause, which seemed to many to exceed that accorded to Governor Tillman, which was not looked for by the Till- mauites. He spoke for one hour iu a strong telling speech, one of the best, t is said, that he has ever made, and which it is believed won many votes. His speech contained many fine points, which were applauded loudly, and frequently it seemed by adherents of both sides. He repeatedly de clared that the movement at the head of which he was, was not Haskellism u any sense of the word. He pledged limself, aud all those he represented to abide the result of tbe Democratic primary, and on li is part to so con duct the campaign that its close, who ever might win, independentism might be buried forever iu South Car olina. He repelled an insinuation which Governor Tiiltnan had cast at him, aud said that there had never been a single spot upon his escutcheon and that he had not a superior in Gover nor Tillman in personal integrity, virtue or honesty. He said that the expenditures under Governor Till man’s administration last year were over $8000 more thau in the" last year time, and it was done to pay a politi cal debt. WHlard had stood by the Democrats aud Hampton when on the supreme bench, and was already an associate justice theu, with an un expired term lasting four years longer and that by electing him to fill the unexpired term of the Chief Justice the debt wa- paid aud two years from his office gained to the Democrats. He upheld Col. Orr in his vote. He attacked Governor Tillman for ap pointing a Republican—Judge Melton —as his attorney in the agricultural hall case. He repeated Goveruor Tillman’s maxim that men were known by the company' they kept, and asked the audience if they knew that two of the men who were in the Republican convention in Columbia last week were in the Tillman convention of two years ago. He was followed by Col. Orr in a good speech, perhaps the most telling of the day. Secretary of State Tindall, Gen. Hugh Farley r Attorney General Mc- Laurin and Mr Dixon then spoke. No date is set for the next debate. A MYSTERY HAPPILY SOLVED Barnwell County’s Phosphate Mines. The correspondent of the News and Courier, writing from Denmark, Barnwell County, says: My article descriptive of and rela tlvetoCapt. Miller’s bed of phosphate rock has created a stir in phosphate circles jn general. Nearly every mail brings Capt. Miller letters inquiring as to the depth of the rock beneath the surface, the thickness of the stratum, the quantity of rock and the price per acre of the laud, etc., etc. To make the matter understood by those interested in the discovery, 1 give the results of a prospecting in vestigation by Capt. Miller and this correspondent, made on the 16th in stant. Of course our investigation does not extend below high water, we having no means of ascertaining the depth of the stratum down into the ground. We saw enough, however, to satisfy us that the quantity of rock is almost inexhaustible. From our measurement it is adjudged that the stratum is not less than 14 feet in thickness above hign water mark. The bed of rock lies beneath the sur face a distance ranging from five to eight feet, the top earth being formed of almost equal parta of sand and clay. The stratum of rock is of oval shape, that |b, it rises and falls grad ually with the hill, the crest of which is, as before stated, some twenty or thirty feet above the river level and at a distance of one hundred and fifty feet from the river embankment. The thickness of the stratum may be much greater than the thickness as above stated. I have saiii that the quantity of rock seemed almost inexhaustible. From present indications I think the facts will bear out in the state ment. The bed the river., L :pk extends an a quarter i stratum co| thickness, safely cone! s-half^- T .»f a 1 that tract of Und in efore stated, we may e that Barnwell Coun ty can supply the demand for phos phate rock fer many years to come. There is no doubt that the discovery of this bed of rock is tbe biggest dis covery yet /made within the State, except the (discovery of phosphate rock in and around Charleston some years ago. Steps will be taken in the near fu ture to organize a joint stock com pany for the purpose of mining the rock. Capt, Miller, one of our most progressive planters, has his shoulder to the wneei, and no stone will be left unturned develop one of the best paying industries in the world right here at hoiae, where a decade since such a thinj j was never dreamed of. A Big Lumber Company. From Ihe State. For maT»y^jvti«a_Uie rich and heavy virgin forest of cypress LreW •i*v l ting in Congaree swamp, on both sides of the Congaree river lying partly in this and partly! in Orangeburg counties has been tljle envy of investors from all over the country who have seen the territori’ and realized the untold and undeveloped resources that lay slumbering/there. Steadily for many years Capt. J. A. Peterkiu, i mowing the value of this great cyprt s property, lying so near Columbia, 1 las been buying up all tbe lands as he eould. Now when he has succeeded i n getting all the property lying betw< en Kingville and the Con garee and o n the other side of the riv er, he has oiganized a big company of capitals ts, and they propose to en ter at once upon the manufacturing of lumber aut I shingles of cypress wood.

Governor Sheppard attacked Gov eruor Tillmau upon the question of a i;3 poll tax, and declared that it was injust. The system of taxes should ae relative to tbe wealth aud capaci ty of the citizen to pay, aud this would be great oppression to the poor man. And yet Governor Tillman pro fessed to have the interest of the poor man at heart. Governor Sheppard said that the Alliance platform was right upon this point—equal rights to all aud special privileges to none. He explained tbe matter of Judge Willard ; saying that Coi. Orr had vo- ted for him alone with two-thirds of (lie Democrats of tbe House at that W. H.

Miss Etta McBride Found in Florida. The mystery of the strange disap pearance of Miss Etta McBride has at last been solved. It will be remembered that last No vember the young girl came to Char leston, and after she had spent two days in the city she disappeared. Her trunk of clothing aud $100 were sent to her parents in Minnesota, ac companied by a letter signed “PM. Brown,” rtating that Miss McBride had died in this city. Her people were satisfied that she was still alive and her brother-in-law, Mr. F. W. Lambeiton, visited Charleston, Au gusta, Savannah and Atlanta in search of tbe missing one. The following letter to Mr. Connel ly, who aided Mr. Lamberton in his search through Charleston, explains why the detectives were so complete ly baffled: Blue Earth City, Minn, April 8, 1882. Mr. J. M. Connelly. Dear Sir: I write to tell you, what you no doubt already know, that I have at last succeeded in ftud- the girl. Enclosed find clipping from local paper here. Some of the par ticulars of my search 1 did not feel inclined to have published. I will give you the particulars here. You remember we lost her on the night of the 24th of November. After leaving the Ann Street depot she stayed over night at a boarding house on King street. On the 25th she went by rail- to Jacksonville, thence by boat to Sanford, thence by rail to Tampa. She had to wait a few hours at San ford for a train, so she wandered into the high school and got to talk to Prof. Lynch during the recess. He discovered that she was an experi enced teacher aud cultured lady, and so suggested that they would like to have her take a little school near San ford, where they were much in need of a good teacher. She went to Tam pa, and was thinking of taking a steamer to cross the Gulf of Mexico, when a telegram from the director of the school took her back to Sanford. She was engaged as teacher Decem ber tbe 3d, and went to work Monday December, the 7th where she staid up to the time I found her, March 28th. A strange part is, that she had not seen anything of my search, in the pa per o, and no one here did, till very recently. Word was sent to me, and I boarded a train at once, found my sis ter and brought her home. With gratitude to yourself and wife for your unfailing kindness and cour tesy, I am, sincerely yours, F. W. Lamberton. As to the reason for the young wo man’s strange actions, it is only nec essary to say that she had experienced a great shock, and in her grief aud desperation she resolved to hide for ever her iudeutity by going far from home and friends, and, if possible, forget the sorrow through which she has passed.

Gov. :Sheppard’s Answer to the Re quest for Him to Withdraw. Edgefield, S. C., April 14, ’92- Editor Advertiser: In the issue of your paper of this date, appears a very temperate and respectful edito rial, entitled “Advice to Governor Sheppard.” You thereby, in tbe pres ence of the people of Edgefield Coun ty, advise me to “withdraw from tbe race” for Governor of South Carolina. Permit me to say, in the presence of the same audience, that I did not en ter the race for Governor of my own accord, but was called upon by a large body of representative South Caro- iliuiaus—a majority of whom were farmers—to go before the people as a candidate for Governor, upon a plat form of peace and unity in the Dem ocratic party, which is essential to the maintenance of white supremacy, which is essential to the maintenance of good government in our State. I accepted the commission thus im posed upon me as a high and holy trust, and shall hold it sacred to my heart, without the slightest regard to the consequences that may fall upon me. In bearing this message of peace to our people, I shall not inflict upon them a “useless, senseless aud bitter conflict,” but will conduct myself aud the campaign so that when the result is known it will be a matter of patri otic pleasure to every Democrat in the State to “close up” and march shoulder to shoulder to certain victory for the nominees of the party. You may rely upon it, Mr. Editor, that if our people shall “be torn into fac tions, harassed and distracted by the bitterness of the canvass, and con vulsed perhaps by internecine strife, brother against brother, sou against father,” the fauJtiWill|not be mine. God knows that there was bitterness enough in 1890. Was Irresponsible for that? My desire and mission now is to heal the wounds then inflicted, to close the breach then created, to the end that hereafter, as well as hereto fore, the Democracy of South Caro lina may be invincible at home and respected abroad. A Bit of Natural History. ge gratefully my in- the people of Edgefield lie support they have for the honors they The Danger to the State. Greenville News. Governor Tillman has expressed profound contempt for the legislature that the people elected. After him self yielding to the free pass bamboo zlement of the railroads he says the legislators were bamboozled. He is working to have a legislature elected to suit his wiews. If he gets a legis lature obedient to bis wishes he will have judges obedient to his wishes. With all the departments iu his hands the people will be at his mercy. They will be slaves sure enough. If be sticks, to h!s pledges and declara tions he will continue his war against the banks, be will abolish tbe lien law, he will make a three dollar poll tax. The course of the banks is easy. They will all do as some of them have already done—distribute their surplus and send the money out of the State. They keep here only what they can make profitable and they will make it profitable by taking the a out of the people iu ex tra interesTrSVvis a plain matter of business with iVliem. Money goes where it can commaihils^good prices and easy terms. With motreiv^scarcer and higher than it is, with the lieu*riWT abolished and a three dollars poll tax, with all the power of the State in the hands of one man whose blunders have already cost the people heavily and whose disposition plainly shown is to persecute, run over and injure all who dare to oppose his will, the poor man, white aud black, will be a slave or an emigrant. The whole power pf the State will be in the hands of the large land owner, to which class Gov ernor Tillman belongs. I acknow debtednes; County given hav* cj ’"presmi^f %*~ w m _ been forgetful'«« their interest, nor unfaithful to any trust they confided in me; and I obligate myself, by every consideration that is binding upon my conscience, so to conduct myself as to justify their confidence iu me. Thanking you for youi suggestions “in the interest of peace and harmo ny,” you will permit me to ask if you sincerely believe that you are con tributing to “peace and harmony,” when you refer to some of our people as “Goat Democrats,” and to others as “Sheep Democrats?” Are we not all Democrats alike? Have you and I not stood shoulder to shoulder, hand in hand, in all that pertains to the honor of our State and the welfare of our people? So hereafter let usstan^ for the honor of the State we lovi t and for the welfare of the peon e whose destiny is our destiny. Very respectfully, J. C. Sheppard. “A mistake that is very generally made,” said Gen. Rosecrans, “is the phrase. ‘Everything is lovely and the goose hangs high.’ Now-, this is en tirely wrong. It should read, ’Every thing is lovely aud the goose honks high.’ This saying originated away up iu the Northern States, where in rainy, foggy, or stormy weather it is a well known fact that the geese fly low—skimming along oyer the very housetops. In fine and pleasant weather you will remember that they fly in long strings so high in the heavens that their peculiar cry, ‘honk, honk,’ can scarcely be heard on the earth below, hence the old saying that everything is lovely when ‘the goose honks high,’ and not ‘hangs high,’ which is a most nonsensical nerversion of the original old New England saying.” About none of the magazine of this month seems there to be such a fresh ness of spring time as the May La dies’ Home Journal goes out to its hundreds of thousands of readers la den with song, story, and a wealth of good material.
