The campaign meeting in Aiken on Wednesday was an orderly one, more orderly than any that have been held elsewhere. The candi dates arrived by the 10:20 train from Orangeburg on Tuesday night, and were carried to the houses of their respective hosts. On Wed nesday morning at about 10 o’clock they all were assembled in the car riages provided for them on Lau rens Street, and the procession formed. Gov. Tillman was driven by some of his admirers in a four- horse wagon decorated with agri cultural products of various kinds, and this in violaidon of the arrange ments made by the committee. The Stand was erected in front of the Park Avenue Hotel and mittee of each County, and that the same be appointed upon the board of managers for the club for which they were recommended. B. R. Tillman, J. C. Sheppard. Bloody Riot in Pittsburg. The constant fight of protected industries against labor brought its logical results in the heavy loss of life in Pittsburg, Pa., on Wednes day. For some time there have been differences between the Carnegie Company and its workmen at its iron and steel works at Homestead, near Pittsburg. The cause of the trouble was the reduction of wages by this great protected company and the refusal of the employees to submit. As a protection against attacks from the locked-out men, a high wall with port holes was erected around the works. On Wednesday the company attempt ed to smuggle 300 Pinkerton men with their rifles into the stockade. The Pinkertons came down the river in barges and attempted to land opposite the works. The workmen assembled on the banks and resisted their landing. The After the Jiulgeshipfl Six Circuit Judges and one Supreme Court Judge are to be elected by the Legislature to be chosen in Novem ber. The all absorbing interest in the gubernatorial contest has to a great degree overshadowed a most impor tant question. It would, it seems, be incumbent on the friends of these several Judges that they interest themselves in the selection of the legislators. The next Legislature will have to elect successors to Judges Izlar, Ker shaw, Hudson, Witherspoon, Aldrich, Wallace, and Associate Justice Mc Gowan. The only election next fall will be for Judge of the Fifth Circuit, to succeed Judge Kershaw, and the elections for the others will be in the fall of 1893. The News and Courier says:— “It would be considered rather pro phetic to even suggest the opposing candidates of the Judges to be elected by t..o next House. Here is an off- haud list, which may have its inac curacies: Ernest Gary, Ira B. Jones, John L. McLaurin, R. C. Watts, J. G. Evans. It is, of course, very prob able that the candidates will be rein forced. It is stated that Judge James Aldrich is about the suiest of re-elec tion, that is if the Administration forces are in control, on account of his position iu the Coosaw case. Mr. W. C. Benet is suggested as the chief opponent of Associate Justice Mc Gowan.” there the meeting was held. The piazzas of the hotel were well pai- ronized by ladies, of whom about fifty graced the occasion with their presence. The speaker's were Governor Sheppard, Gov. Tillman, Messrs. Orr, Gary, Humbert, Far ley, Murphy, McLaurin and You- mans. Col. Youmans did not make a lengthy speech as it was then late and the time had been very equally divided between the two sets of candidates already, but spoke for about five minutes. The best speeches of the day were made by Gov. Sheppard, and Col. Murphy, although Messrs. Orr and Humbert spoke excellent good sense, and Messrs. Farley and Mc Laurin were exceedingly enter taining. Gov. Tillman’s and Mr. Ga ry’s speeches were not much more than venomous attacks on the conservatives. In his speech Gov. Tillman charged that the candida cy for governor on the conserva tive ticket had been offered to Hon. D. S. Henderson, before it was offered to Gov. She].'paid. Mr. Henderson instantly jumped up and denied that it had been of fered to him at all, and demanded Gov. Tillman’s authority for the statement. This Gov. Tillman did not give. Gov. Tillman slap ped at the railroads by a 1 leging that they had given notice to iheir employees that if they voted for him they would be discharged. This, we are informed by Mr. Tin dall, the agent here, is wholly un true, and the charge is utterly without foundation. About 1,000 people in all were present, of whom probable one- half were Tillmanites, but there were somewhat more Tillman- ite than Sheppard badges visible, from the fact that many boys from the country had them on. The meeting was presided over by County chairman John. T. Gas ton, who showed most commenda ble fairness in his assignments to the speakers, and his general man agement. Mayor Chafee was most energetic in preserving order and to his firmness and excellent ar rangements the good order pre served was largely owing. On the whole the conservatives had every reason to be highly sat isfied with the meeting and to de duce from it that they have the promise of carrying the County by a good majority. If the rest of the State does as well as Aiken prom ises to do, Sheppard will be our next Governor. The community owes a good deal to Mayor Chafee and Chief of Police Gaston for the good order preserved at the meeting. It is said that there was an intention to howl down some of the speakers and to prevent others from speak ing, but the first move to such a thing was put down so promptly that no other attempts were made. While Aiken had one of the most disorderly meetings in 1890, it has earned the credit of having had the best conducted and most orderly meeting thus far in this campaign. While in Aiken the two candi dates for Governor signed the fol lowing letter of request to the Democratic Executive Committee: State oe South Carolina. We, the undersigned candidates for Governor, hereby request the Democratic Executive Committee of each and every County in the State to so divide the board of managers (including the clerk of said board) of the primary election to be held on August 30, 1892, as to give each of the factions in the Democratic primary of this State equal representation on said board. And we further request that each faction shall have the right to rec ommend two names from each club to the Democratic Executive Corn- fight was a stubborn and a bloody one. For twelve hours, off and on, the battle raged, and the sharp rattle of the Pinkerton rifles was answered by the sullen roar of thousands of angry voices, and the report of every kind of firearms, from cannon to derringers. The Pinkertons had the advantage of position, or rather shelter, but the workmen had ihe advantage of numbers and artillery. It w r as a bitter fight, and ended only with the unconditional surrender of the Pinkertons. As far as has been ascertained, 20 men have been killed outright and 42 wounded, in addition to nearly ico of the Pinkerton men beaten and injured after the sur render. Now that the workmen The State Teachers Association. The State Association of South Car olina teachers is a very important body, and its meetings are always looked forward to with great interest by the teachers of the State. The meeting this year will be held in Co lumbia July 19, 20 and 21, and bids fair to be a most successful affair. The work by departments, college su pervision and primary will be at tempted for the first time and will no doubt add much to the effectiveness of the meeting, and all the wide awake teachers should be present. The officers of the Association say they expect the largest attendance of recent years. Governor Tillman has made several references to Col. Orr’s “quitting” the campaign, etc. Col. Orr will have the sympathy of ail good people when it is known that he has been have apparently been victorious, it is said that a settlement of the dif ficulty is probable. The Third Party. The Third Party Convention met in Omaha on the 4th inst. and nomina ted James B. Weaver of Iowa for the Presidency, and J. G. Field of Virgi nia for the Vice-Presidency. The convention in its platform drew an awfully sensational picture of the ruin threatening the country, as fol lows: “We meet in the midst of a nation brought to the verge of moral, politi- can and material ruin. Corruption dominates the ballot box, legislatures, Congress and touches even I lie ermin of the bench. The people are demor alized ; most of the states have been compelled to isolate the voters at the polls to prevent universal intimida tion or bribery. Newspapers are large ly subsidized or muzzled; public opinion silenced; business prostrated ; our homes covered with mortages; la bor impoverished and land concentra ting iu the J auds of capitalists. Ttie urban workmen are denied the rights of organization for self protection; imported pauperized labor beats dowu their wages, a hireling standing army unrecognized by our laws is es tablished to shoot them down and they are rapidly degenerating into European conditions. The fruits of the toil of millious are boldly stolen to build up colossal fortunes for a few, unprecideuted in the history of man kind, and the possessors of these, in turn despise the republic and endan ger liberty, and from the same pro lific womb of governmental injustice we breed two classes, tramps and millionaires. The national power to create money is appropriated to enrich bondholders, vast public debts paya ble in legal tender currency have been funded into gold-bearing bonds, thereby adding millions to the bur dens of the people. The platform demands a National currency issued direct to the people at a tax not to exceed 2 per cent, per an num, to be provided as set forth in the sub-treasury plan of the Farmers Alliance, or a better system; the free and unlimited coinage of silver and gold at the present legal ratio of 16 10 J; that the amount of circulating medium be speedly increased to not less than $50 per capita; a graduated income tax; the government owner ship of the railroads and telegraphs; and the alien ownership of laud pro hibited. Presidential Tickets. very apprehensive about his son who was bitten by a dog, supposed to be mad, and who had to be carried to Augusta. The many devoted friends of Bishop Howe will be relieved to learn of the improvement in his health. The ed itor of the Church Mesaenger states that he was recently with the Bishop, who is constantly improving. The good results of the rest at Saluda are being shown. The Prohibition National Conven tion at Cincinnati on the 30th ultimo nominated John Bidwell of New York for President and J. B. Cranfill of Texas for Vice- President. The Blacksburg, S. C., News says: “The five o’clock tea which was given by Mrs. T. B. Gautier and Mrs. J. W. Betton, in honor of Mrs. Alonzo Tripp, wife of the genial Supt., of the 3 C’s It. It. on Saturday Juue 25th, eclipsed all former affairs. The Cher okee Inn has claimed Mrs. Tripp as a guest for the past year, and her de parture for a northern clime for the summer was considered unnecessary by her selfish friends, for where can cooler breezes lie found than on the spacious verandas of the Cherokee.” Hood’s Sarsaparilla absolutely cures all diseases caused by impure blood aud it builds up the whole sys tem.

An Appeal to the Ministry. The prohibitionists are pushing their movement now with great ener gy and the very latest step is an at tempt to enlist the entire ministry of the State in the cause. An appeal wus issued from the prohibition head quarters in Columdiaoii Monday, and Is being sent to ministers of the gos pel of every denomination through out the State, asking for their en dorsement counsel, aid aud above all for their prayers. KiileU by the Train. A negro of the Branchville neigh- borhoop was run oyer and instantly killed at Branchville by the Sunday excursion train from Augusta to Charleston, which passed that point at 8:50 a. m. The deceased had been drinking heavily, and had set out to walk to his residenee by way of the railroad, and after going a short dis tance of his way, he became too much intoxicated to proceed farther and laid dowu upon the t~ack. He was soon asleep, aud while in this condi- the above train came along aud killed him. Sally, S. C., July 5, 1892. The Sally Rifles attended the en campment of the First Regimeut S. C. V. T. at Barnwell on Tuesday and Thursday. They carried over a full company both days and made a fine show. It was generally conceded that they were the best drilled and physi cally the finest body of men on the ground. Pursuant to call the meeting of the legal voters resident in the new Sally school district was held here on last Saturday afterus.on to decide whether the extra tax of 2 mills allowed by the bill of incorporation should be allowed or not, The attendance was large and intense interest was mani fested iu the proceedings. Through an unfortunate error of the Represen tative having the bill in charge at the last session of the Legislature the area of the district was extended be yond the lines mapped out in the original petition. Especially was this the case iu the South Edisto portion, and it must be candidly acknowl edged that the parties living iu that corner are too far to derive any possi ble benefit from a school at Sally. However, the friends of the measure stood pledged to request the Legisla ture to reduce the area and leave all such parties outside of the line, and very earnest appeals were made against any opposition to the levying of the tax. These pledges aud ap peals had no effect, and the residents of the “corner” above mentioned very bitterly opposed the bill in its entire ty. They had also done considerable electioneering, not only in their im mediate neighborhood, but all oyer the new district. The meeting was called to order by the chairman, Rev. E. A. Price, and the leader of the no tax faction, Mr. J. D. Knotts, imme diately demanded the right to speak on the subject at issue. Permission having been granted, Mr. Knotts op posed the the proposed tax in a twenty minutes argument, having for its main points—as well as your corre spondent was able to discover—1st, that the whole scheme was one for the upbuilding of the Town of Sally at the expense of the poor people; and, 2d, that he would be false to the blood in his \eins if be did not op pose the tax, because he had two grand-fathers in the Revolutionary war, which was a fight against taxa tion on tea! What connection this tea tax fight in 1776 had with a popu lar tax in 1890 for educational pur poses was not explained, Calls were then made for some re marks on the other side of the ques tion, and Capt. T. C. S:eedmau ad dressed the meeting in advocacy of the tax. The ten minutes address was strictly to the point, and the close was a heartfelt request to the resi dents of the district to avail them selves of the great opportunities of fered to the masses by the new bill, secured in iheir interest by one who had always proved himself to be the poor man’s friend, Capt. D. H. Sally. The election was then proceeded with by the appointment of James R. Sally aud J. F. Phillips as mana gers, aud J. I. Tucker aud T. C. Steed man as secretaries. The total number of votes cast were 180, against the tax 94, for the tax 86;—which showed a defeat for the cause of edu cation. A careful examination of the voting list shows that there were enough illegal votes cast to alter the result, aud it is probable that the County Auditors of Aiken and Or angeburg will be requested to furnish a list of the legal voters residing iu the district, and that after the receipt of these rolls a new election will be ordered. Hart’s Battery will have their usual annual re-union here on July 21st. As crops will be generally “laid by” before that time, it is proposed to make this event the crowning point of a gala week for Sally. The Sally Rifles will go into campon July 18th, and several companies have been in vited to take part. The encampment will continue for five days aud will be conducted en strict military princi ples. The program for the five days is under advisement, and will be for warded in ample time for your next issue. The comfort and amusement of our guests will be carefully con sidered, and all who come will be guaranteed a very enjoyable time. July 20th will be “political day,” and all candidates for Congress, Sen ate, House of Representatives and County otfices are hereby notified to be present and let our citizens know the why’s aud wherefore’s of their aspirations. The editors of The Recorder are cordially invited to come over and spend the five days with us. A very good opportunity to increase your circulation. Holly. Seivern Notes- Seivern, 8. C., July 5. 1892. As I have seen nothing from this part of the County for some time, I will try to give you some of the news. We had on the first day of July the heaviest rain of the year, with wind and hail, doing much damage to the crops, which are looking exceedingly well. Most farmers are in good spirits. The Democratic club of this pre cinct met at Seivern on the 2d inst., and transacted some important busi ness. Among other things it passed a resolution requesting out executive committeemen to ask for managers from both factious of the Democratic party for this precinct; and it is the opinion of this club that the same thing should be done in all parts of the County. After the club adjourned, the school trustees met and selected Mr. R. L. Gunter, of Wageuer, to teach the balance of the present school term for Juniper Creek school. Jean. Mrs. L. R.
