AIKEN, 8. C , AUGUST 12,1892.
The Gist of the Matter.
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,

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

Co., 185 Race Street Cincinnati. Ohio.
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.

First Chapter oi the Book ot the
Prophet Zeracchaboam.
1. 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
