The Htate troops are still in control, and on Monday a large quantity of ammu nition was distributed among them as a precautionary measure in case of any riot. Gov. Pattison has «one to the spot, and will remain there in persona] command until a settlement is effected. It is stated that some non-union men have been smuggled into the Carnegie Company’s mills, but work has not been yet resumed. Ten or twelve of the leaders among the riot ous strikers have been arrested, charged with murder, and other ar rests will probally be made,; as it is said to be intention of the company to prosecute all the men who were prominent in the attacks on the Pink erton men. The Cholera. The plague of cholera is steadily making Its way towards the United States. Starting in India, where it always originates, it lias pursued its regular westward course through Russia, and is now reported at several places in France. It has not vet reached England, but it will almost inevitably do so in due time, aud from there will be brought to this country. Tl\e regular lines of travel that epi demics of cholera take are now well known, so that the visitation of the plague here may be certainly antici pated. While the presence of cholera always creates more or less of a panic, it is doubtful whether the disease is as fatal among members of the Cau casian race as the grip, which has slain its thousands so silently during the past two seasons. In any event, we in Aiken have no cause for anx iety. Cholera, as a rule, is confined to seaports and tow ns on rivers. High and dry as we are there is nothing for us to fear. _ Give the Proof. The Register of Sunday, says: “A railroad mechanic stated to us, yesterday, that there is no doubt but a great pressure is beiug brought to bear ou the employees of these cor porations to vote against Tillman, and it will be equivalent to a dis missal to utter a word in support of the people’s cause. Private letters have been written by officers and hints given that every man is expect ed to support the ring-rule ticket.” The Register’s assertions are usually so unreliable that we are constrained to call for proof. Receiver Chamber lain has promised to discharge any officers making such threats, aud if the officers alluded to are conuected with the South Carolina Railroad, now is the chance to have them pun ished. Until the proof is given we must believe the charge to be an elec tioneering falsehood. It having been noised abroad that Mr. William C. Wolfe, lecturer of the Orangeburg County Alliance, a can didate for legislative honors, and a very prominent citizen of Orangeburg County, had written a letter to the editor of the News and Courier, de claring that it was to the best inter est of South Carolina to defeat Ben Tillman, and that iie would be one of a committee to organize the negro vote for this purpose, a reporter for The Register called on Mr. Wolfe on Mon day and asked him what he had to say about the report. Mr. Wolfe iu reply furnished a long open lettei for publi cation in the Register, addressed to to Mr. J. C. Hemphill, editor of the News and Courier, and one to Mr. W. St. Julien Jervey of Charleston. Both letters being exceedingly abusive, aud insulting. These letters were published and the News and Courier of Wednesday contained Mr. Hemp hill dignified reply, aud a copy of the original letter from Mr. Wolfe, which is published elsewhere. In reply to an inquiry whether it is necessary for a voter to have a regis tration certificate and to be a member of a Democratic club iu order to vote in the August primary this year, Chairman Irby says that it is not necessary to have a registration ticket in.order to vote iu the primary elec tion. The Constitution is silent upon this subject, but the custom since 1870 and the Constitution allow any known Democrat to vote. The Third Party in Georgia. The Third Party Convention in At lanta, Ga., on Wednesday, adopted the preamble, resolutions, aud plat form of the Omaha Convention, and nominated the following State ticket: For Governor, W. L. Peek; Secretary of State, W. R. Gorman; Treasurer, H. L. Peeples; Comptroller General Branch; Attorney General, J. B. Mahatle; Commissioner of Agricul ture, Jas. Barrett; A full electoral ticket was also nominated for the presidential elec tion. The Chronicle says: In politics, the bulk of the new party are “innocents abroad,” aud it is with a certain de gree of sympathy that we contem plate their consternation and chagrin when thev read tlte returns the morn ing after the State election, but this feeling is overbalanced by the pro found sense of satisfaction that will be felt throughout the State at the overwhelming way iu which the peo ple will sit down upon some of tlte marplots and political soreheads who have, in their greed for office, been willing to impose upon and mislead the honest citizens of this good State, aud tempt them astray even to the extent of imperilling the Solid South, and the right of local *elf-govern- inept. Cleveland and Stevenson Notified. Grover Cleveland and Anlai E. Stevenson have been officially noti fied that they are the choice of the Democracy of this great country to lead it on to victory. The notifi cation ceremonies took place Wed nesday evening in the presence of a large crowd of people that surpassed in enthusiasm and numbers even Ural vast throng that ou September 6, 1888, at the same place gave a greet ing to Allen G. Thurman. The great amphitheatre of the Madison Square Garden in New York was covered as it never had been before It is no exaggeration to say that f >robably never has there been in the listory of New Yoik City such an immense crowd gathered under one roof. An idea of the crowd can be had when it is known that the seat ing capacity of Madison Square Gar den is in the neighborhood 8,ftO<» and that between 25,000 and 30,000 people were there assembled. Gen. Stevenson was the first to ap pear but Mr. Cleveland soon followed. After waiting some time for an oppor tunity to be heard, and for the uproar of applause to subside, Mr. Cleveland arose and Mr. Wilson notified him in a speech of ten minutes duration that he had been nominated for the presidency. When Mr. Cleveland rose to reply pandemonium reigned. It was one terrible roar aud to add to the excite ment the immense standing crowd of 10,000 people swayed back and forth and crushed in upon the press enclosure. Mr. Cleveland began to speak in the midst of the noise, and his voice could not be heard ten feet from the platform. The people were not aware that he had begun, and when it grad ually dawned upon them that they were losing the best part of the meeting they quieted down, and the resonant tone/i of the ex-President were heard in every part of the House, He was listened to atten tively, and interrupted but seldom. Applause came at the end of his speech. The next speaker, ex-Lieut.-Gov. Stephen M. White, of Colifornia, had more success with his speed) notifying Gen. Stevenson of his nomination than did Mr. Wilson in his effort. Gen. Stevenson exhibited some signs of nervousness as lie stepped forward to respond, but quickly re covered his composure and gazed calmly on the crowd as it cheered. If Gen, Stevenson had any doubts iu his mind as to the enthusiasm of a New York audience they were com pletely affaced by the reception he got. He delivered his speech with effect: Results of the British Elections. The Liberals have won in the Brit ish elections by the very small ma jority of only about 40 in 670 members of the House of Commons. This ma jority will, however, small as it is, render a change of government al most inevitable. But a month will elapst before the actual business of the House begins. The swearing in of members takes a fortnight; then the election of Speaker and of chair man of committees proceeds, involv ing possib y debate, and next comes the discussion of the amendment to the address in reply to the speech from the throne. If this is followed by a change of government Gladstone may take a fortnignt to form a minis try, a number of members of which may require re-election. Liberals thus calculate that it will be October before the new government can be called upon to present to Parliament its programme. With the small majority the new government will have a troublesome time. Among the difficulties will be the habit Irish members have of irregular attendance. Many of them have had busiuess affairs iu Ireland to look after hitherto aud only ap peared iu the House when they were summoned there by 1 he exigency of Irish affairs. Special business being finished they vanished again. If this practice is continued under the new government, the absence of some party Irish members will render the government liable to defeat at any moment. GENET’S MOUTH IS MASHED. An Exciting Episode at the Abbe ville Meeting. 1 Correspondence of the State.] At a meeting of the Conservatives held in Abbevillq, on Monday last, about 800 being present, some of the anxious Tillmanites expressed a desire for a reply to Orr aud Murray, which was granted. Hon. W C. Benet, the champion of Tillmanism, went upon the stand and commenced his address—after being introduced by Col. McGowan—by taking a hand primary, asking all the anti-Tillman- ites to hold up their hands. This was not done. Then he asked the Till- mauites to hold up. McGowan count ed sixty-six, another eighty-six. Beuet one hundred and twenty. He turned to McGowan and insinuated tiiat the chairman was not a good mathematician and did not count correctly. He called upon Col. Gray- don to come up and count the raised hands. During this discussion some thirty or forty more Tillmanites came forward and bv actual couut there were one hundred and thirty-four. Beuet said he and these had cheek euougli to face the crowd of anti’s, and assailed the Press and Banner, and accused its editor of publishing a deliberate falsification concerning his address before the ratification meet ing Held here a short time ago. Editor Wilson arose aud attempted to reach the front to make a reply or address Mr. Beuet. The latter, in a gruff tone, said: “I don’t want to speak to you,” and continued to speak to the crowd. Col. McGowan came to the front and said he endorsed what was said iu the Press and Banner as to the account of the meeting. He attended the meeting, and the account was true. Beuet said: “Well, you en dorse a malicious falsehood or lie.” McGowan at once resented this insult by striking Beuet in the mouth with his fist, cutting his lip and bring ing the blood, which stained his shirt aud the shirts of others who were standing near. Friends of both rushed forward and separated them, and by the prompt action of Major Hill iu adjourning the meeting a general row was averted. Col. McGowan apolo gized to the crowd for his rashness, and Benet addressed the crowd say ing he had nothing to retract or apologize for. No further trouble is anticipated. Tillman’s followers were amazed at the crowd of antis, and we believe on the 30th of August we will roll up a good majority for Sheppard and Orr. Many ladies were present and good music was furnished by the Abbeville Cornet Baud. A Personal Matter. From The News and Courier. The following letter was received at The News and Courier office on Mon day afternoon: Ohaxoeburg, S. C., July 16, 1892. Mr. J. C Hemphill, Editor The News and Courier—Dear Sir: Under standing that you have a letter in your possession, written by Wm.C. Wolfe, of Orangeburg, S. C., which reflects on him as one who professes to he a supporter of Governor Tillman, we respectfully request the publication of the same. Respectfully, Wm. C. Wolfe, D. C. Sanders. Mr Wolfe having stated in his let ter, published below, that “nothing in this is intended for publication, but is simply a private suggestion,” the said letter was not published, but his request for the publication of the letter, coupled with his denial in the Columbia Register yesterday moi ning of having written the same causes us to produce the letter and stop us from making any comment, as the public cau, with the facts before it, judge of the propriety of our conduct and tiiat of Mr. Wolfe. The letter is as fol lows: Orangeburg, S. C., Aug 5, ’90. Major Jno. C. Hemphill—Dear Ma jor: I am astonished that so little ef fort is beiug made to defeat “Tillman ism.” The Haskell Convention, the Central Com are doing fine work but are effecting tio good. A giauce will show tiiat the negro vote must be used and that money and hustling is needed to do this My idea of cam paign is tliis—an address very aggres sive in its ideas and pointed iu its charges must be issued without delay. There must be a campaign committee of five appointed in each county and the ch’rman of this committee must represent his county iu the State Campaign Committee. This Com mittee must issue the address ami make the best bargain they can wivh the negro leaders for the negro vote. Then, through these leaders, organize the negroes into Clubs and send dele gates to the County Conventions to elect delegates to the State Nom Con ou 10th prox. We must at all haz ards control that Convention and nominate a candidate, so that if any bolting is done the Tillmanites cau do it. I would suggest that you are iu a position to select 5 good men in each county tor this Committee and let them get to work right off. If you do not act at once in this manner, I am afraid your paper will lose some infiu- euce. I do not think when it comes to a fight between a bitter Radical (Tillman) and the Negro, we should hesitate to select which side to go with. The intelligence of the coun try is with you, aud I believe that every one is willing to contribute to the fight. So let us get at it. I am willing to serve and work in my coun ty, and can name 4 other good men. Nothing in this is intended for jiub- lication, hut is simply a private sug gestion. lam yr’s, very truly, Wm C. Wolfe. A Good Example. The campaign meeting at Manning last Monday was well conducted and orderly. The speeches were more like lectures delivered in a hall, and there was no interruption outside of legiti mate cheering. Governor Tillman’s speech was mainiy a repetition of his charges against the newspapers and the Conservatives ns being Haskellites. In regard to his Holly’s Ferry decla ration that tbe Conservatives were Republicans be said he meant in na tional politics and he acquitted them of any intention to appeal to the ne gro. He said they had not advanced a solitary measure for the benefit of the people aud tiiat they would be willing to sink the Slate iu perdtion iu order to defeat him. Col. Youmans-made a strong speech entirely free from abuse. Regarding Governor Tillman’s statement tiiat the Conservatives would be williug to sink the State in perdition, he said that no Conservative was guilty of Mr. Tillman’s remark, tiiat he would prefer to go to hell with his crowd rather than to heaven with the oppo sition. The Crops of the State. By A. P. Butler, Observer. The rainfall for the past week, end ing July 19th, has been above the normal; temperature aud sunshine below the average. The continuous and excessive rains liaye been detrimental to the cotton crop. The plant has grown rapidly, causing it to put on no fruit and to shed its forms. The rains have brought up an abundant crop of grass. The soil has been so saturated that it has been impossible to destroy the grass; it has continued to grow, so that even with good weather it will be impossible to free the crop from it without serious injury to the plant. The weed is sappy or succulent, and it is feared that it will not be iu a condition when the rain ceases to re sist and be benefited by the hot rays of the sun, and that scalding and rust will follow on light soils. This condition of the crop is confined to nearly every section of the State. There are some favored sections where the plant has not been injuriously ef fected by rains. The corn crop is decidedly the finest and will be the largest yield ever pro duced in the State, and will exceed that of the large crop of 1882. The early corn iu the southern section is nearly matured, and at an early day will be ready for stripping the blades. Son e portion of the crop was dam aged ou creek bottoms. Corn on the river bottoms is late, but very flour ishing. The rice crop has been slightly in jured by incessant rains aud lack of sunshine, causing it to change color; and iu many places for want of culti vation it has been injured by weeds. The tobacco crop has been injured by the continued wet weather. Some of it has been harvested and more of it is now ready for cutting, bnt cau not be until the weather settles. Potatoes, sorghum and sugar cane are very fine and have not been in jured by Lie unfavorable weather. The farmers are somewhat depress ed by the unfavorable seasons of the past few weeks, but they still have much to encourage them. CONFEDERATE GRAND ARMY'. Effort to Organize an Association in Columbia. From The State of July 20th . Some time ago Mr. B. A. Makib- beti, of Aiken, issued a call for a meet ing of Confederate survivors to be held here yesterday for the purpose of forming a Confederate Grand Ar my Association. For some reason the call was not well advertised, and the local survivor’s association was not even notified of the gathering. The survivors who came found that uo preparations had been made for a meeting aud no one seemed to know anything about the gathering. After a useless hunt a number of the visi tors gave up the search and went home. At about 1 o’clock it was ar ranged to hold the meeting in the Su preme Court Library at 4:30 o’clock. The meeting was called to order by that noble veteran Gen. J. B. Ker shaw, who was invited to preside. Mr. Thos. S. Moorman was asked to act as temporary secretary. In the absence of Mr. Makibben, Gen. Henry Capers explained the workings of the United Confederate Veterans Associations, with which he was familiar. Soon afterwards, Mr. Makibben, who had called the meet ing, came in, and upon invitation said that the call as published in the daily press set forth in tbe main the purposes of the intended association. Briefly reviewed they were: To raise money, the interest ou which was to be a fund to be expend ed in aiding poor Confederates and the widows and orphans of soldiers. To collect information about the Confederate war and government; to secure for coming generations a cor rect account of incidents now mis represented in history. To institute an insurance feature, if thought advisable, not for individu als, but divisions in tbe state. The constitution prepared by Col. Sawyer was not there, because Col. Sawyer, who expected to be present, was quite ill. Once tbe organization is started it will soon include thousands of mem bers. Primary' Election Managers.

Elizabeth Holley vs Stella A. Glover, and the same plaintift'vs sundry other persons named in the opinion. Judg ment of the Circuit in each of the cases stated in the title reversed and the com plaints therein dismissed. Opinion by Mclyer, 0. J. The above cases, 16 in number, brought to recover dower in several thousand acres of land on and near Hol low Creek in this County, were tried to gether before Judge Izlar at ^ the fall term, 1891. On the Circuit a decree was rendered in favor of the plaintiff who was tiie widow of the late Alfred Hol ley, and the cases created some atten tion as the principle involved was novel and the quantity of land considerable. The legal question was whether the wife of a tenant in common was bound by a decree in partition to which the wife was not a party. The decree in parti tion here was rendered in the Court of Equity for Edgefield about 1847 and the laud sold under said decree. The Su preme Court as indicated above, sus tains the defendants in their position that the wife of a tenant in common is jiot a necessary party to such suits, and that her do wer is barred by it. The plaintiffs were represented by Messrs Hammond and Evans, and the defen dants by Henderson Bros and O. C. Jordan. Ti Headquarters 1’or Brick, Li me.
