The following Is a copy of the lettei written by chairman Irby to chair man Dibble in reply to questions which have already been given publi cation : Hon. Samuel Dibble, Chairman, &c., Orangeburg, S. C. Dear Sir: While in Columbia a few days ago I received your com munication at the hands of Mr. Wat son, of date July 4th, 1892. Sickness and business have prevented a reply until now. I beg to say that I know of no third party in South Carolina, notwithstanding a great deal has been said about one. I, therefore, conclude, that any white man known to be a Democrat, who takes the obligation, at the time he votes at the primary eieciion, will and ought to be per mitted to vote whether he has hither to favored a third party, or has been an Independent Haskellite, or now fa vors Prohibition, Woman’s Suffage or otherwise. The State Democratic Executive Committee wili meet Tuesday, the 26th inst., at 8 p. n^, at Columbia, at which time this and otWT Questions will be considered by it and especial ly the question of appointing more than three managers to t onduct the primary election. I cami t say what the Executive Committee will do, but for myself 1 respectfully say that if you, as the representative of any Democrat or Democrats, who have grievances, wisli a hearing, it will be Granted; but I cannot, and I feel sat isfied the Committee will not, feel disposed to to hear you or any other person in South Carolina discuss propositions in which you are not di rectly aggrieved. The Democratic Executive Committee feel satisfied that it is competent to carry out the orders of the State Democratic Con vention and the mandates of the Slate Constitution without interfer ence or mggestion from any one. We are not disposed to convert the State Democratic Executive Committee in to a debating society for questions of imaginary grievances. Very respect fully your obedient servant, [Signed] Jno. L. M. Irby, Chairman State Deni. Ex. Dem. A Tragedy on the Coast Line. A fatal accident occurred to the At lantic Coast Line, about five miles be low Florence, on Sunday morning be fore daylight. The cause of the wreck was the washing out of a small section of road at five-mile post. The load there crosses a little stream and runs on an embankment about five feet high. The ground on each side slopes toward the stream and toward the road. An unprecedented flood of rain, whicli began about dark and kept up almost incessantly during the night, had formed on each side of the road torrents that had eaten into the earthwork and left barely a shell supporting the rails and ties, but strong enough to deceive even the ex perienced and careful engineer, Rob ert Mack. Running at a high speed, when the ill-fated train reachek the bread there was a lurch, a plunge, shrieking and cracking of timbers and the wreck ed train lay on its side in a ditch al most submerged in water. The en gine had leaped the break, broken from the cars and stood unharmed on the firm ground beyond. Six cars were flat on their sides, one sleeper spanned the break with one truck on the track and the forward truck in the water. The last sleeper stood safe. The train crew at once set to work to rescue the injured passengers, who were in momentary danger of drown ing. The night was inky black and the rescuers worked till near day in water waist to neck deep. F. G. Simmons, a white newsboy of Charleston, and Willian Moore, a negro train hand of Summerville were killed; and Wm. Bahr and P. A. Hymes of Charleston, R. W. Har groves of Wilmington, J H. Collins of Richmond, C. F. Plane the postal clerk, and Thos Naismitb of Florence were injured. The Autocrat’s Trap. Danger Ahead! When you need glasses call on Wessels Bros.

LUDEKENS, JR., NOTARY PUBLIC, AIKEN, S. C. Collections and all business will re ceive prompt attention. From The State. A prominent lawyer of the Pied mont section wiites The State, com mending its arguments regarding the danger to the cause of the National Democracy of permitting Third par- tyites to vote in the August primary, and adding: “I call to your attention a case de cided by the Supreme Court of the United States in March, 1890, in re gard to Presidential electors, in which the court holds that such electors are State officers, and that offenses against the election laws under which such officers are elected are punisha- jle in the State courts. The case is, In re Greeu, 134 U. S., 377. You pre sent the idea in your editorials, but I do not think you make it quite plain. “I feel satisfied that a good many persons expect to vote in the August primaiy for State and county officers, and not support Democratic electors for President and Vice-President, on the ground that they are Federal and not State officials, and that participa tion in the primary does not bind them as to these electors. This de cision of the Supreme Court of the United States is as you well know, conclusive and binding on this point upon every court in the Union; there is nothing beyond.” We had not recalled this decision, which clearly strengthens The State’s position. A man cannot vote as a Democrat in State affairs and as a Third partyite in National affairs; for the Presidential electors, through which nis will as to the national nom inations must be expressed, are de clared by the highest judicial author ity to be State officers. If be votes against the Democratic electorial tick et in November, after participating in its noihination in August, he is as guilty of violating bis oath at the primary as if he voted against the State and county tickets. From The Greenv'Ue News- If Governor Tillman is reelected with a legislature to suit him, which he demands, the poor people of this country may find that they have been led into a cruel trap. If he controls the legislature the county government bill, proposed and defeated in the last legislature, will be passed. The governor will then have con trol of the legislature, of the courts, of the county governments. He will have the appointment of all the town ship road commissioners who will make the county governments and control; ail contracts of the commis sioners of the poor; of thejury commis sioners and trial justices. With this power in his hands and the appoint ment of election commissioners and control of the party machinery he will control the election of members of the convention. What does he want the convention to, do? To make a three dollar poll tax. Fix it so that unless a man has a certain amount of property or has a certain degree of education he shall not vote, shall have no voice in the choice of his government. The poor white people are being led into a t ap by the loud talk of the farmers’ government and popular rule. They are being put in a posi tion where they will behelples slaves, denied a vote, subject to the will of the rich or educated', deprived of all privileges but paying tribute of three dollars a year for the schools and be- sold to contractois eight days in every year for work on the public roads. There is cunning claim that the whole thing is agaiust the negro. Thousands of negro farm hands work ing at $9 a month would rather stay in jail twenty days and be fed and lodged than pay the $3 poll tax. At the recent Congressional inves tigation of the Homestead affair at Pittsburg, President Weihe, of the Amalgamated Association, testified that the amount of labor employed to produce a ton of steel costs $1 55. The Baltimore Sun says: “The McKinley bill ‘protects’ Mr. Carnegie with a du ty of $11 20 a ton, or enough to ena ble him to pay $11 20 a ton for the la bor in making it—provided the tariff rate is meant exclusively for labor’s benefit. This tariff rate of $11 20 is really prohibitory. It keeps out for eign steel such as Mr. Carnegie makes. It is high enough for that purpose. McKinley reduced the for mer rate to $11 20 a ton, wiih the as sent of the steel-makers, for the rea son that this lower rate would be pro hibitory. Y’et one of the workmen informed the committee that it was McKinley’s reduction of the tariff rate that caused Carnegie to reduce faett that since the big steel combina- wages! And this in the face of the tion broke up American steel billets have been selling at Dearly the same price as English billets in England. The price of the Carnegie billets of steel at Pittsburg is $23 50 a ton. The price iu Liverpool is $20 65 a ton. With the duty added the English steel would cost here $32 85 a ton, so that nobody would think of buying it. It cannot, therefore, have affect ed Mr. Carnegie’s rate of wages.” Highest of all in Leavening Power.—Latest U. S. Gov’t Report. © ADSOH/TEUif FI SR P? rvfc ' r 7 '►>'i , T ' Ql A Warning From Cleveland. The State of Sunday contained the following letter from Mr. Cleveland, In response to one written to him by the editor of that paper: ‘•Gray Gables, Buzzard Bay, Mass., July 13,1892. N. G. Gonzales, Esq. My dear sir: I received your letter of June 28th and read it with much satisfaction. I have never been able to satisfy myself that there was any real fear that South Carolina would be swept away from her Democratic moorings, although I suppose any cause of disquietude appareut to those in the State would not be fully ap preciated by me. I am glad to learn from your letter, however, that the chances of harmful division iu your State have very much decreased and that with proper attention and intel ligent management the State will re main in the Democratic column. This canvas means so much to the people of the South and is fraught with cousequences so much more se rious to them than ordinary cam paigns, that it seems impossible to suppose that persons who could make a pretense to Democratic affiliation would at this time looks anwyhere save to the Democracy for protection agaiust the evils that threaten them in case of Republican success. Thanking you sincerely for your congratulations and the kind wishes expressed in your letter, I am Very truly yours, Grover Cleveland.” A Chance for Composers. What the Question Is. A correspondent asks the Sun for “a common-sense, every day, school boy explanation of the silver ques tion,” and that paper gives the facts in a few words. The “silver question” at issue is •whether the. mints of thf United States shall coin silver dollars weigh ing 512>£ grains as freely as they coin gold money. Any owners of gold bullion can take it to the mint and have it coined into gold twenty, ten, five and two-aud-a-half dollar pieces at his option and to any amount. The same “freedom” is sought by the sil ver men for the holders of silver bul lion. The objection made to tiffs free coinage of silver is that 412ja grains of silver are notnow worth 25.8 grains of gold, as they once were. In other words, the quantity of silver it is pro posed to put iu the silver dollar — whose coinage is to be made free — is not now wortli 100 cents, but is worth only 66 cents. All free coinage bills make the silver dollar of 412’2 grains legal tender in payment of debts for 100 cents—an obviously unjust thing to do. If free coinage, as advocated in Congress, meact putting 100 cents, worth of silver—over 500 grains—in a dollar, nobody could object to it, but there is decided objection to making 66 cents’ worth of silver pass for 100. The silver men insist on the free coinage of the light dollar. For Revenue Only, In order to stimulate American composition, Tne Ladies’ Home Jour nal has just made public an attrac tive series of liberal prizes for the best original musical composition by composers resident in the United States and Canada. The prices call for a waltz, a piano composition, a pleasing ballad and a popular song, an anthem and the four best hymn tunes. The competition is open un til November 1st, neut. The oppor tunity has an additional attractive ness since the prize composition will form part of a series for whicli Strauss is writing an original waltz, and Charles Gounod and Sir Arthur Sullivan each an original song.

The Anderson Intelligencer says: Mr. W. C. Benet’s oratory is of a high order, hut his weather-cock propensi ties. his newly accepted views and his appareut “in for revenue only” policy, has created “that tired feel ing” iu so many meu, that his speech es are shorn of their influence where they were heard with applause. Kindness to An mals. No better evidence is needed of the impression that Christianity has made upon men, than the increase of the sentiment of kindness to animals. A London newspaper, handed us, contains the following advertisement: “Sixteen thousand five hundred dogs have been received this vea*' at the temporary home for starving dogs, Battersea. Dogs kept six days for indentifica- tiou, valuable ones longer, and where suitable homes are guaranteed cau be purchased at uominal prices. Cats Boarded at the comfortable Cat’s House at the above Home. Funds urgently needed for daily supply of food and shelter of 1,000 dogs.” It is to cultivate this sentiment of kindness that the excellent magazine, Dumb Animals, is published month ly Mr. Geo T. Angell, at 19 Milk St.,! Boston. This magazine always con- j tains much matter of interest, and as j it’s cost is only 50 cents a year, it should be in every household. Sir Chas Dilke lias been electe d to Parliament. Moral character seems to have but little value in English high life. The more one hears from the South Carolina delegation at < iffcago the more reason good Democrats have to be ashamed of those who mis-repre- ented the State. The July Wide Awake contains a stirring Revolutionary story by Ade laide Cilley Waldron, the cnief inci dent of which furnislies the frontis piece for the number.

Mr. Stephens had a simi lar experience. He said: “I knew it was a lie as soon as I saw it.” The Sumter Freeman (Alliance) says: “Sheppard and Orr are the nat ural and logical allies of Cleveland and Stevenson. Cleveland will not get the electoral vote of South Caro lina if the Reformers (Tillmanites) win.” The agreement signed by the candi dates at Aiken ought to be respected everywhere. Men of all factious are equally interested in having an elec tion in whicli there will be no possi ble cause for doubt or continued dis turbance.
