On the 11th of December, 1891, when the question of a Constitutional Convention was up before the House, Mr. Abne^, of Richland County, of fered the following proviso: “Provided, however, that no consti tution formed, or which may be form ed, by such convention, shall be bind ing or go into effect until it shall have been submitted to the people of the State for ratification, and shall have been ratified by the votes of a majority of the qualified voters of the State voting upon such question.” This was voted down by the sup porters of the administration, inclu ding Messrs. Alderman, Woodward and Evans of Aiken County. In the Senate a similar proviso, offered by Senator Smythe of Charleston was voted down by a vote of 25 to 11. Now the gist of the matter is, that if Tillman succeeds in getting a Leg islature to suit him, it will order a Constitutional Convention that will impose a $3 poll tax, an educational or property qualification, and repeal the Hen and the homestead laws, without referring these changes back to the people for ratification. Now it will be said that the mem bers of the convention will have to be elected by the people and need not carryout Gov. Tillman’s ideas; but it is evident that the same influences that can elect a Legislature to suit Tillman can elect a convention to suit him. Railway Taxation. The oppressson that is being exer cised upon the railroads of this State by the present administration was clearly shown by Gov. Sheppard at the campaign meeting in Greenville. He cited railroads running through both Georgia and South Carolina, and in every instance the assessment per mile on the road’s property in South Carolina was much greater than the assessment on that same road as soon as it crosses the Georgia line. The figures are as follows: Roads. Georgia. S. C. Ch’ston and Kav *7,000 *13,000 Char., Col. and Aug.. 5,000 14,000 Pt. R’l and W. Car.. . (>,000 10,(XX) Geor., Car. and Nor.. 5.000 10,000 These facts should be enough to convince all unprejudiced minds of the injustice that Tillman and his of ficials are doing towards the railroads. A Mistake Corrected. At the campaign meeting at Pick ens. the report that Col. Orr had pulled Gov- TiUman around at a pre vious meeting, was contradicted in the following colloquy: “Col Orr.” said Governor Tillman, turning to that gentleman, “did you catch me by the arm at Union and wheel me around two or three times?” Orr: I wish to say that I did not and would not have done so. Tillman: You touched me to call my attention? Orr: I am glad to make the correc tion. I touched you to call your at tention. I had not the slightest idea of having a personal altercation. In reference to the shameful con duct of the Tillmanites in beating Major E. B. Murray at Cedar Grove, the Columbia Register admits that “the regular county meeting was ap pointed for Cedar Groye, for the voters of Anderson County.” And while A. C. Latimer, candidate for Congress, and Tindall and Mayfield made speeches, Mr. Murray, County candidate for the convention, was driven with blows from the stand. If the meeting was only for candidates for County officers, what right had Messrs. Latimer, Tindall, and May- field to make speeches? There is a good deal being said re garding tax-dodging in Aiken. It would perhaps be well for the Town Council to take some action in this matter. Some years ago, in Charles ton, tax-dodging was carried on theie to such an extent that the Council of that city had the returns of all busi nesses and incomes published. A great sensation was created, but also a great increase in the returns the next year. We would respectfully suggest this plan to the consideration of Council. The assault upon Major E. B. Mur ray at the regular County campaign meeting at Williamston on Monday, was an outrage and a disgrace upon the citizens of Anderson County. Certainly South Carolina politics have been brought very low when regularly nominated candidates are so shamefully treated when they en deavor to exercise their rights to speak at a meeting called by the reg ular party authorities for the County. The municipal election will now soon be on hand, and the citizens of Aiken will do well to re-instate the capable officials that have had charge of the affairs of the town for tne past two years. During that period much very substantial progress has been made, a great portion of which has been rightly attributable to the ener getic and intelligent administration we have had. The queen has summoned Mr Glad stone to attend her to-day at Osborne House, Isle of Wight. The object is to entrust to him the formation of a pew government for Great Britain. Railroads and Receivers. From The News and Courier. The State Board of Railroad Equal ization will perhaps be satisfied with its policy of oppressing the railroad corporations as soon as it forces a few more roads into the hands of the re ceiver and brings about the sale of some more roads. While itcannoi be said that the Administration is alto gether to be blamed for the existing state of railroad affairs, the situation is very suggestive and furnishes abun dant food for thought. When one thinks how few roads there are in the State, and that fifteen of the few are in the hands of receivers, it must be realized that there is something radi cally wrong. Here is a list of the fated fifteen: . . Asheville and Spartanburg. Atlanta and Charlotte Air Line. Columbia, Knoxville and Western. Three C’s. Charleston, Sumter and Northern. Charlotte, Columbia and Augusta. Cheraw and Chester. Chester and Lenoir. Columbia and Greenville. Laurens Railroad. Port Royal and Augusta. Port Royal and Western Carolina. South Carolina Railway. Spartanburg, Union and Columbia. 7'hese roads represent more than one-half of the total railroad mileage of the State, 1,487*0 miles out of a total mileage of 2,358)^ miles. Con siderably more than half of the roads are already in the hands of the Courts, simply because they cannot make money with as good or better man agement than most businesses have. The railroad situation in South Car olina is a serious one. It is one that is being carefully watched by the capitalists of the East and North, and the next Legislature would do well to act with as much conserva tism as possible. The Cholera in Russia. The official list of the deaths from cholera in Russia has been published. The number of victims up to August*! is given as 23,919. Appalling reports have been re ceived of the ravages in the govern ment of Saratoff and Samara. It is officially reported that the deaths number not less than 300 daily. The ignorant multitude in many places resist all sanitary precautions and at tack the doctors and others engaged in attempting to alleviate the disease. The latest advices from Moscow state that the panic there is on the increase. The cholera is becoming more viru lent at Novorgod, and people there blame Baranoff, the governor, for not taking better measures of preven- toin. Baranoff, in reply to popular criti cism, has increased the severity with which he punishes his critics. Two respectable citizens, by orders of the governor, were publicly punished with 100 lashes of the knout for hav ing spoken unfavorably regarding the sanitary arrangements made by Bar- auoff. The Condition of the Crops. Capt. Brown, in charge of the weather bureau, has made quite a fa vorable report of the crop conditions. He says: “During the week showers have fal len in nearly every county in the State. Temperature has been about the average, with but little sunshine. “The condition of the weather has been much more favorable for cotton than that of the previous week. The promising condition of the plant con tinues unchanged, except in some of the sandy lands, where it has changed color and shed its fruit to some ex tent. “The general outlook for a fair crop is very encouraging. Cotton is now opening, and picking will begin in the next few days. “All other crops have continued to improve, although some of them were somewhat retarded by the ex cessive heat of the previous week, but have not entirely recovered from its effects and are now in splendid condi tion. “The early corn crop has fully ma tured, and the blades are now being stripped. “The harvesting of the hay crop has been retarded by the frequent shower. The yield will be a large one. “The work-stock is in better condi tion now at the close of the season than usual. “The fermers have greater cause to he satisfied with the present condi tion of their farming operations than for many years. The Cotton Crop. The August leport of the statisti cian of the Department of Agricul ture shows a reduction in the condition of cotton during July, from 86.« to 82.3 This is the lowest average since Au gust, 1886, when the general condition was one point lower. The season has been almost every where too wet, though in South Car olina and Georgia the alterations of excessive rainfall and blistering have been injurious. In Texas need of rain is reported by some correspondents. Tiie natural result of these condi tions appears in grassy fields, rank plant growth and small fruitage, with considerable shedding. Grass worms and caterpilars have appeared in the more southern and western districts, but no material damage has yet resulted. The state average of conditions are: Virginia 83; North Carolina 82; South Carolina 83; Georgia 84; Flori da 81; Alabama 83; Mississippi 80; Louisiana 83; Texas 86; Arkansas 75; Tennessee 79. Carnegie Victorious. The Edgefield Killing. The killing of the negro Isham Glover in Edgefield on Monday after noon seems to be surrounded with some kind of mystery. From reports that are current it is said that the ne gro Gloyer had threatened to kill Mr. Anderson whenever he met him, in consequence of some difficulty. An derson hearing this, it is reported went to Covar’s bar-room, where he got a rifle and seeing Glover standing in the middle of the public square, about 30 yards from the saloon, shot him down. The bullet entered Glover’s right arm, passing through his body, and lodged in his left hand. Glover died next morning. A cordners jury was impanelled, and rendered a ver dict that “Isham Glover came to his death by a gunshot wound inflicted by some unknown persons.” Solicitor Nelson was dissatisfied with the ver dict, and had a new jury impanelled which rendered a verdict that “Isham Glover came to his death by a gun shot wound in the hands of C. H. Anderson.” The is the wav the mat ter now stands. The Edgefield papers of Thursday are strangely silent about this homicide committed in the heart of their town, in'broad daylight on the Monday previous. The strikers at Duquesne went to work Monday morning, and the Car negie Steel Company has scored one victory. On Saturday Superinten dent Morrison posted a notice to the effect that all men who had applied for their old jobs should report at the mill at 7 o’clock Monday morning as the mill would resume at that hour. Long before the time set, however, workers with dinner pails stole up un frequented streets and along the rail road tracks, and entered the mill un observed by their fellow strikers. As 7 o’clock approached, the num ber of men who had entered the m.ll yard through thisjneans, reached four hundred. About sixty men, who were leaders in the sympathy strike movement, gathered on the road near the mill gate and watched in moody silence the men going into work. Finally the mill whistle blew for 7 o’clock. At that a large Irish man exclaimed in a loud voice! “Well, men, the jig is up; We had better hustle for our old places.” This was the signal for a panic, and the en tire crowd ran toward the gate. A freight train was backed in front of the gate, but the men did not wait tor it to be moved, but scrambled over and under it in their frantic haste to get inside the mill before the whistle stopped blowing, It was a complete stampede. The Sale of the New Brighton. From The News and Courier. The New Brighton Hotel has now changed hands. Upon the authority of Mr. Dennis O’Neill, the agent of the property, it is given out that the transfer is bona fide. In other words Mr. James F. Burnham is no longer the proprietor. It was learned that he has for some time been acting as the manager of the hotel while it was under a heavy mortgage. The new owner, Mr. De Graaf, is said to be a man of means. It is ex pected that his agents, who were here some time ago and negotiated his business, will return in a few days to anticipate next year’s season and make the preliminary arrangements towards opening the New Brighton in 1893 Grover Cleveland is one of the few public men of the world who knows how to write a safe letter, this is at tributable to the fact that Grover Cleveland is a statesman and a pa triot and there is nothing dishonest or corrupt in anything he puts upon paper. In fact, every letter he ever wrote has strengthened him and this in the face of the fact that his tariff and silver letters were severely criti cised the moment they came out. Col. L. W. Youmans was howled down in Lauiens Countv, making the third outrage upon decency and free speech committed in two days by the misled men v/ho adhere to the desperate cause of Tillman. Well, these acts prove two things very clearly. One is that Tillman’s follow ers are afraid to have his record dis sected. The other is that they know he js loosing ground, and resort to violence to overawe his opponents. A CARD. Having been informed that there are many ladies who say that they have asked us to change their old style trunks to the roller-trav. and that we have refused to accommo date them, we beg to say that we would like very much to oblige them, but we cannot make the change with credit to ourselves, the roller-tray trunks being made in every way su perior to the ordinary trunk. Very respectfully, H. W. Rountree & Bro., Richmond, Va. The only objections the Inter Ocean has so far found to Hon. Adlai Steve nson is the fact that while Assistant Postmaster General under Mr. Cleve land 40,000 Republicans were outside offices and as many good Democrats putin their places. That point is no objection from a Democratic stand point. The ntxt adminstration will be Democratic, and 100,000 Republi cans may as well prepare to move. DRUNKENNESS, or the LIQUOR HABIT, Cured at Home in Ten Days by administering Dr. Haines’ Golden Specific. If can be given in a glass of beer, a cup of coffee or tea, or in food, with out the knowledge of the patient. It is absolutely harmless, and will effect a permanent and speedy cure, wheth er the patient is a moderate drinker or an alcoholic wreck. It has been given in thousands of cases, and in every instance a perfect cure has fol lowed. It never fails. The system once impregnated with the specific, it becomes an utter impossibility for the liquor habit to exist. Cures guaran teed. 48-page book of particulars free.

The news of the destruction of the Island of Sangir and the death of 14,000 people by a volcanic eruption, has been confirmed, and it easily takes its place as the most horrible disaster of the present year. The burial of 14,000 people beneath lava and ashes is too terrible to contem plate. A Perfect Emulsion.

The Pickens Sentinal says that be ing a witness in the United States Court is not so lucrative as it used to t e. The witnesses are now summoned to be here the day the case is tried and are paid only for actual service. The effect of this reform is to reduce the attendance of witnesses very largely, and our streets are not so crowded as formerly. (/ON81'MPTiON < TRED.

Now iu the fullness of time arose one Benjamin, a man haughty of spirit and subtile of heart, 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 merchandise for hire. 4. And he lifted up bis 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 he borne upon the people, and I alone am able to deliver you out of tbeir 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 of 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 our 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 sill these things were done the people rejoiced greatly and said one to another, surely this is the Moses who will deliver us from all our enemies and will give into our hands the vine and fig tree of our rich neighbors, if we have none of our own whereunder we may sit. 12. Now no sooner had this Benja min begun to hear rule among the people than he hardened his heart, and strove to lay grievous taxes upon the heads of men, and wasted the treasure of the people and did go from place to place with the carriers of travellers without paying his pence therefor, and he did sell his herds unto the State, wherewithal he made large profit unto himself, and rendered not promptly unto the tax- gatherer the thing* thKt were his, and clothed himself in costly raiment and fine linen and tw 3 galluses with- all, and fared sumptuously every day. 13. Now the peo^jJe were moved greatly, saying onj to another, we accounted our ancAnt rulers but as devils, but surely we have cast them out by Beelzebub, Ihe Prince of the Devils. J 14. So they callfc unto them one John, surnamed t A Sheppard, to do battle against tliil Benjamin, who had so giievously Aceived them, and even now their tenls are pitched over against each othA, for the day of battle is at hand. 1 Masters Sale.
