Plenty of Honest Men in South Carolina. Senator Tillman, combattipj^*tbe view that the dispensary cannot be ad-v ministered honestly, is quoted as sayj ing in effect at Chester, “Woe be to the State if there are not enough honest men in it to run properly the dispen sary.” This is buncombe logic to fool the un thinking. There are plenty of honest men in South Carolina. No State has more for its size They are too honest and conscientious to take any part in the dirty and damning business in which the State is now engaged.

He lived selfDh'ly to and for himself, amassing an im mense fortune through the needs o' his fellow-men when these pressed heavily. He added nothing to the val ue of human life by discovery, exploit ation or benefaction. The sole aim and purpose of his career was to make money and this was done through tak ing advantage of the momentary press ure for money under which men of ample property resources found them selves from time to time. He typified in an extreme degree how worthless and how useless an\ man centered in self may be when re garded from the alt r uistic standard the sole standard that has gained ac ceptance among men. He stands on in conspicuous abhorence from iha' standard. He profited by the weak ness of men. He employed their want? to enrich himself. All men served him and he gave no service in return. At Tillmm’s private meeting i-n Ail - en he insinuated that Gen. Hamotnn had dodged the voli ig issue in Colum bia in 1890, when “lie said he had left his registration ticket in Washington.” Every one who knew Gen. Hampton, or even knew of him, knows that 1 e never dodged an issue. And to clinch t .e falsehood of Tillman’s insinuate n here is a letter to the State of Monday on the subject: “To the Editor of The State: 1 have noticed lately in the news papers allusions by Ben Tillman in re gard to my dear old friend, t'ulonel and General, the lai. ented Wade Hamp ton’s voting, etc., in the election for governor of South Carolina in 1890.

According to a long-standing tradi- iou Charleston and vicinity is to have forty days of rain, beginning from Sun day last. Sunday was the first of the “dog days,” and when it rains on that day it fontinues for forty successive days. It has only rained twenty-seven days out of the month of Ji ly, and if it ra' s every day during the month of August the increase will hardly be noticed. Dog days are supposed to be that part of the summer from about the be ginning of July to the middle of Aug ust—originally applied to the time dm- ing which Sirious, or the Dog star, was above the horizon v\ T itli the sun. The r sing of t he Dog star was in ignorance ■mPposed to be the occasion of the ex treme heat and disease incidental. It was by mere accident, it is claimed by scientists, that the rising coincided with'the hottest season of the year, in the times and the countries of thean- eient astronomers. The time of the rising depends on the latitude ot the nlace. and is later and latpr every vear in all latitudes until its orbit is swung around It is claimed, and justly so, that the star may rise in the dead of winter This is the season that the mad dog rage alwaj s seizes the populace, and there is many a poor cur meets his un timely finish just because he has chased •1 jack rabbit till he begins to foam at the mouth : the slightest suspicion and 'he crack of a gun sniffs out the life of faithful Fido During dog days it ig said that a dog’s bite is a very serious matter—it takes much longer to heal uul their is more danger of Hydropho hia But every dog has his day, and dog days are “dog-gone hard dnvs” on - Ne.u^s And X'ourf that satisfactory examinations had been ordered in all of them except Beaufort, which has two vacancies and Georgetown, which has one vacancy In Newberry there is only one -appli* uant for the vacancy.
