The present administration advo cates the calling of a constitutional convention. If Governor Tillman gets a Legislature to suit him, a con vention will be called; and it will be entirely in the power of that Legisla ture to say whether or not a constitu tion adopted by the convention shall be submitted to the people for their ratification. And if we are to judge by the actions of the Tillman faction in the last Legislature, the people will not be allowed any voice in the matter. At the last session, when the resolution calling a cbnvention was up before the House, Mr Abney, of Richland, offered an amendment providing that no constitution should become effective unless ratified by a direct vote of the people. Messrs J. G. Evans, F. P. Woodward and Owen Alderman voted against this amend ment. Mr M. T Gunter voted for it. [gee House Journal, 1891, p. 319.] Mr Evans has been considered one of the strongest supporters of the adminis tration in the Legislature, add his ac tion then would indicate that he and his faction are opposed to giving the people a voice in this most important matter. If a convention is called under Gov. Tillman’s influence, it is exceedingly probable that a new constitution will become the fundamental law of the State without the people having a chance to vote on it. The people must understand clearly that unless the resolution adopted by the Legislature contains a clause providing that a new constitution shall be referred to them for ratification, it will become a law the moment it is adopted by the convention. Now it remains to be seen whether our people are going to put such power in the hands of any set of men. On this subject.Gov. Sheppard said at Winnsboro: “I advise you to send no man to the Legislature who is in favor of a constitutional convention. Whatever they do will be the law of the land, provided it does not conflict with the Federal Constitution. Don’t forget when you fco home to think of Gov. Tillman’s advocacy of the property qualification. It will be too late for you to say after the convention meets that you are sorry you did not take my advice. If any changes are want ed let it be by an amendment. “The Governor takes me up and says I haven’t confidence in the peo- ole. You elected your last Legisla- _ ire*.aDCKbe has since been calling them driftwood. If you send unwise men to a constitutional convention you cannot correct their folly except by a slow and tedious process. “Men can exert the same influence upon members of a convention as they have upon a Legislature. The fact that the people have had unfaith ful representatives shows that there is a possibility of our being misrepre sented again. There is no need for the three-dollar poll tax and the con stitutional convention.” The State Printing. The State printing contract has come to a head before the Courts. It will be recollected that Mr. James H. Woodrow, who had the contract, died before his bond was filed; whereupon the State authorities decided that his contract was broken, and advertised for new bidders for the State printing. His father, Mr. James Woodrow, then qualified as administrator, executed the proper bond, and presented it for acceptance. This bond was refused, and Mr. Woodrow appealed to the Circuit Court, for the protection of the interest of his late son. Judge Norton has ordered a hearing of the case before him next Monday. The Attorney General has been served with notice to show why a manda mus should not be served against the State authorities for issuing a new contract. Four Huiulredtli Anniversary. Wednesday, the 3d inst, was the four hundredth anniversary of the day on which Columbus set sail from Palos, Spain, on his westward voyage of discovery. And at 6 o’clock in the afternoon—the hour at which he sail ed—the new Santa Maria, the vessel (carayel) constructed in imitation of of the one of that name belonging to Columbus’ expedition, for exhibition at the World’s Fair in Chicago, set sail, from Palos for this country. She was escorted to sea with much pomp, by several Spanish naval vessels, and when the signal was given by the Spanish Minister of Marine for the vessels to return the caravel was giv en a farewell salute. The little cara vel will endeavor to follow the exact course pursued by Columbus across the Atlantic, four hundred years ago. Mr Robert Addison, the husband of the lady who was the victim of the negro Kiuard’s assault at Irmo some time ago, was in Columbia on the 28th ultimo, accompanied by his father- in-law and brother-in-law. They came to take Gov Tillman at his word and ask him to lead a lynching party to dispose of the fiend. But the Governor would not act; he was only blowing. A general re-union of Confederate veterans of the Trans-Mississippi De partment will be held in Dallas, Tex as, Texas, on the 24th and 25th of October next, under the auspices of the Sterling Price Camp, at which time Mrs Jeflerson Davis and her daughter, Miss Winnie Davis, will be in attendance. One of the significant straws of this campaign is the change that has come over the Augusta Chronicle. Here tofore it has favored B. R. Tillman, but of late seems to have lost confi- fience in his re-election. The follow ing paragraph in Saturday’s paper, from its campaign correspondence, is very direct: “The way things look now, Tillman is not going to carry half the Coun ties, and he is about a? likely to be beat as auy man in South Carolina.” As the Tillmanites themselves ac knowledge that the campaign reports of the Chronicle are generally very correct, they may get what comfort they can out of them now. The tide has turned, and our es teemed contemporary sees it and will hereafter be found in the good com pany of The Recorder, State, News and Courier, and the other papers that have battled unswervingly for good government. An L'gly Threat. In his speech at Yorkville Governor Tillman said that “if (he Judges did not know upon which side their bread was buttered, they will know before eighteen months will expire.” Now, are the liberty-loying people of South Carolina going to vote for a man for Governor who uses such lan guage from the public stand about the judiciary? Does he not threaten that if the Judges do not support him, or render decisions in accord ance with his wishes, they will be under the ban of his displeasure? It seems to us that this is one of the ug liest threats which Governor Tillman has yet made against the liberty of the people. A Bloody Record. The News and Courier of 1 uesday contains a list of 52 murders that have been committed in South Carolina since the first of last January, during a period of seven months. It says that “during this time not one of the guilty white men has been convicted or punished. This is a very bloody record, and indicates a contempt for law that is disgraceful to our 8tate. The News and Courier says: “The record is incomplete as it stands. It is made up from the re ports of homicides published from time to time in The News and Cour ier. A number of cases were not re ported by our wide awake correspon dents and no attempt has been made to add the missing names to the hor rible exhibit. No note has been ta ken of those who have engaged in dis turbances of the peace and escaped with their lives, nor of those who were wounded by accident, nor of those who went about armed to the teeth, in direct violation of the law, and ready upon provocation to appeal to the pistol pocket as the arbiter of their differences with their neighbors. We have simply made up from the files of The News and Courier a par tial list of those who have been killed in this 8(ate during the past seven months. Disastrous EfTeot ot Tillmanism. The following letter from the Barn well People is strong exidence of the disastrous effect tha." B. R. Tillman has had upon the credit of our people and State: Mr. Editor: About a week ago I wrote a party in Michigan, who I knew to be constantly thrown with monied men, asking him to use bis influence in getting me money for the purpose of pushing a certain enter prise. I received his reply yesterday (24th) and with the view of letting our people know how we are looked upon abroad request that you publish the enclosed extract. G. K. Ryan. Barnwell, S. C., July 25, 1892. Petosky, Michigan. Dear Sir: Just now I cannot give you any encouragement, because cap ital will not be sent into S. C. in the present d’sturbed state of political af fairs down there. As long as the is sue was between the darkies and the whites capital, (although not disposed to ran any great risks in a turbulent community) was willing to take some chances on the theory that the white element would always substantially control affairs there, and that meant sound money and good laws for the preservation of vested rights and the protection of capital legitimately in vested. But, now, the disturbance down there being among the white people themselves—one party having for its Shibboleth “Down with capital and sound money and up with repu diation and (practically) the red flag of anarchy”—the situation is regarded as of the gravest, and wholly at war with the development of the State through the aid of outside capital. This sort of thing scares the life out of money lenders, w ho are proverbial ly timid. However, if the good peo ple down there elect the right men this fall, and there are no riots follow ing the election, I think I can help you through a financial agent in New York, either to get the money there or from the Bank of Montreal, Can ada. The following is the list of ques tions that is to be put to candidates in Abbeville County: 1. Are you a Tillmanite, and do you favor the Ocala platform? 2. Do you agree with Gov. Tillman in his advocacy of the three dollar poll tax? 3. Do you agree with Gov. Tillman in his advocacy of a qualification vote? 4. Are you in favor of a Constitu tional Convention? 5. Are you in favor of a change in our County government? 6. Do you favor the County govern ment bill as introduced in our last Legislature? 7. Do you favor prohibition and a strict prohibitory law? 8. Will you abide the result of the August primary on the 30th by voting for the nominees of the Democratic party? We observe that Lieut-Gov E. B. Gary, in his answer to these ques tions, denies that Gov Tillman advo cates a property or educational quali fication of the right to vote. We call his attention to the latter’s public letter of January 28, 1888, in which he says: “The remembrance of our suffer ings under Radical domination grows dimmer year by year, and contests over railroad taxes, prohibition and municipal politics are familiarizing our people with the use of the negro to carry elections. We toy with this monster which is now lethargic and torpid, but if we do not get a consti tutional convention to draw his fangs while he is yet asleep by a property or educational qualification for suf frage, he will one day be energized by a division among the whites and de stroy us.” Again, in his recent speech at Yorkville, the Columbia Register re ports him as saying: “There must be a provision put in the constitution tc protect us and our children from the chance of negro domination. If it became absolutely necessary to put a property or educa tional q’ualificational on suffrage and thus disfranchise a few white men, he believed all white men in South Carolina would be patriotic enough to put these qualifications on suffrage rather than allow the old ring rule faction to organize the negro vote and get control of the government of South Carolina.^’ First Chapter oi the Book ol the Prophet Zeracchaboam. Alice Mitchell Declared Insane. It Is and It Isn't. When you pay taxes this fall, oh beloved, you will find a reduction in the rate of three-fourths of a mill from that which the ring rulers put upon you. Please remember this, oh ye of little faith.—Edgefield Adver tiser. But also remember that the faithful reformers, while reducing the rate of levy, have to a greater degree in creased the assessments, so the tax payers will have more taxes to pay next fall than ever. If ye doubt this, oh ye of little faith, ask our County Auditor. ' Attempt to Lynch Kinard. An unsuccessful attempt was made in Lexington on Sunday night to lynch George Kinard, the negro who is charged with assault on Mrs. Rob ert Addison at Irmo last week.. The Lexington Rifles, first as individuals and then as a corps, have been guard ing the jail, There has a 1 wavs been considerable doubt about Kinard’s guilt, except in the minds of the peo ple around Irmo. The Columbia Record says: “Sun day night was chosen because it was thought that no one at the Court House would suspect an attempt and they would have no opposition. But in this they miscalculated, for the Ri fles and Sheriff were determined to protect George Kinard at the expense of their lives if need be, and did not hesitate to say so. The lynchers w’ere well organised and numbered over a hundred and fifty men. They were determined to have Kinard if it be came necessary to kill the guard and blow the jail up to get him, and they carried the dynamite with which to carry out their purposes. They pro posed, if they found the jail guarded, to pour hot shot into it from both ends and front with Winchester rifles and to use their dynamite in the rear, which they could approach with more safety. That they would have carried out this plan of action there is but lit tle doubt from all that could be gathered, but Sheriff Drafts’s discre- made it unnecessary. Some of the would-be lynchers could not control their tongues, and at a church near Lexington inadvertently gave a hint of their purpose where a friend of the sheriff heard it. He straightway hastened to the village and notified the sheriff, and without hesitation he determined to assume the responsi bility of bringing Kinard to Colum bia. He accordingly got him ready and sent him by tw’o trusted deputies on the 11 o’clock train. Governor Tillman was called from his slumbers to advise what should be done with him. He ordered him taken to the Penitentiary for safe keeping.” Some time after midnight the crowd went to the Lexington jail, awakened the sheriff, and demanded the prisoner. But they were soon convinced that Kinard had been re moved, and thereupon went away as quietly as they had come. Carnegie’s Oilicers ami the Pinker tons Prosecuted for Murder. Assistant Attorney General D. A. Townsend appeared, before the meet ing at Winnsboro as a candidate for Attorney General, in the place of Mr. J. L. McLaurin, who has been placed by the Alliance in the congressional race in the Sixth Distiict. It is stated that Mr. W. C. Beuet will also run for the position. Alabama has set the example to other Southern States. Gov. Jones, her Democratic Governor, has de feated Mr. Kolb, the Third Party can didate, by about fifty thousand ma jority. At the Alliance meeting in Colum bia on Thursday, the 28th ult., Hon M. L. Donaldson of Greenville, was elected president of the State Alli ance. _ A large number of the friends of Rev Manning Brown attended the funeral of that gentleman Friday af ternoon. The funeral services were held at the Washington Street Church, at 5 o’clock. He was interred in the Taylor burial ground in Co lumbia.—Register. 1. Now in the fullness of time arose one Benjamin, a man haughty of spirit and subtile of heait, who great ly deceived the people. The same as was spoken of by the Prophet, saying “A one-eyed man shall be king among the blind.” 2. He feared not God, neither re garded man, and had his raiment of coarse cloth, and covered his head with a hat of wool, and his nether garment was upheld by one gallus. 3. Being desirous of ruling over all the people, he lifted up his voice against the scribes and the rulers and the judges of the people, and hard ened his face against those who were the weavers of cloth, and went about to overthrow the tables of the money changers and destroy those who car ried travellers and n erchandise for hire. 4. And he lifted up his voice among the people and said, “Hearken unto me this day and ponder my words. The country is filled with rottenness, and your rulers are but as lepers and are debauched by the money changers and are carried about whithersoever they will by the carriers of travellers. They have laid burdens heavy and grievous to be borne upon the people, and I alone am able to deliver you out of their hands.” 5. But when these things were noised abroad, the people came run ning together and said among them selves, surely this man is some great one, even Moses or Elias, or that prophet which is to come. 6. Whereupon they answered and said unto him, Oh, Benjamin the Tillmanite, live forever! Take, we pray you, unto yourself the wisest among us and let us fight against the rulers and scribes that we may over come them and deprive them o~f their holdings. 7. And he arose and called unto himself Hugh, the captain of the hosts, and John, his chief priest, who was made a Senator of the people, and others with them 8. And when they had gone from place to place and stirred up a great tumult among the people, they fought against the rulers and scribes and pre vailed against them mightily, so that they were no longer to be found. 9. And there were many who clove to the hinder parts of the garments of Benjamin, saying among them selves, if we can but keep our hold upon his garments olir labor will not be in vain. 10. Now Benjamin seized upon the places of the rulers and scribes, and took unto himself the place of the chief ruler over all the people, and rewarded those who clung to his gar ments, from the least even unto the greatest. 11. When all these the people rejoiced one to another, sui Moses who will dell our enemies and wj hands the vine an< rich neighbors, if own whereunder we 12.

A. Potter and G. A. Corey, super intendents at the works, and Frick, Lovejoy, Leishman and Curry, offi cials of the company, and several Pinkerton men. Judge Ewing said: I think, if the newspapers are true, that none of the men charged in the information can be held for murder, and certainly not in the first degree. The men on shore were there illegally, and unless you can show there w’as malicious and deliberate killing there is no use wasting any more time. The men on the barges were there legally, and the others were there illegally. There is no equality between these two parties. It is not very material who began the shooting. The men in the barges had the right to use all necessary force to maintain their rightful pos session of the property. If there is a case here I will hear it, but you must show me some wilful and uncalled for killing. One of these crowds was a mob, the other was there legally. You do not stand in the same posi tion. I take your own statement and can see no parallel case. The people on the bank were in Court from the start. If this is a case of retaliation I would like to know it.” Alice Mitchell, the young woman who cut the throat of Freda Ward in Memphis last spring, killing her in stantly, bits been tried, but the ques tion of the sanity or the insanity of the prisoner was the only one considered. The jury found the fol lowing verdict: “We, the jury, find the defendant, Alice Mitchell, insane and believe it would endanger the safety of the community to set her at liberty.” Alice was then reminded to the custody of the sheriff and ordered placed in a insane asylum. Should be released as sane at any time she can then be placed on trial on the charge of mnrder, as she was only tried as her mental soundness or un- souuduess. At the time of her trial the question as to her mental condi tion at the time of the commission of the homicide was not touched on dur ing her trial till concluded. When the yerdict was read by the clerk a faint smile spread over thede- fendent’s features, as she had been confident of the jury’s verdict throughout the entire trial. She was taken to jail, gaily chatting as she went, and sent to one of the State in sane asylums. A CARD. 820 Powers’ Block ns paper , Rocues ester, N. Y. The Crops ol the State at. the Close ol • the Week Ending August 3d. By A. P. Butiler, Observer. The rainfall for ,tbe past week has been below the normal; temperature and sunshine above the average. The report of the condition of the cotton plant was not altogether favor able for the previous week. The plant had not f.-uited as abundantly as' usual on account of the rapid growth during the wet weather. The hot sunshine and dryness of the past week has checked the rapid growth without causing the plant to shed its fruit on clay lands; but on sandy soils the plant has changed color and to some extent cast off its forms. The plant for the past week has taken on little or no fruit The early corn has been slightly in jured for lack of rain and by the ex cessive heat, preventing it from fully maturing. Corn planted on stubble lands has been injuriously affected, but is young, and if the rains have been well distributed will soon recov er from such injury. Tobacco and other crops have not been materially injured for lack of rain, high temperature and sunshine. Fatal Explosion. News was received Satuiday morn ing of a fatal engine explosion on Mr. Amos Eubank’s plantation near An tioch Church, Edgefield County, and one man was killed and several wounded. Friday afternoon while Mr. J. H. Bussey was running his thrashing machine in a field of oats belonging to Mr. Eubanks, the engine attached to the thrasher suddenly exploded, There were a number of persons near at the time all of whom were wound ed. The young son of Mr. Whitfield Reynolds was instantly killed and his brother was mortally wounded, also the negro fireman who was at tending to the engine. Capt. Bussey was struck by a piece of the flying iron from the engine and a gash three inches long was cut in his body, the wound however, not be ing a serious one. A piece of the boiler narrowly missed Mr. Wm. Glenn, who was sitting on a shock of oats near the thrasher. It is thought that the explosion was probably caused from the inter ior of the boiler being crystallized, but this is not known to be definite ly so. iVIcElree’s Wine of Carduf and theoford's black-draught are for sale by the following merchants in Aiken County: Dr. W.
