Hero aw Senator Butlor's views on national affairs in reply to the query sub? mitted to him by the New York Times: ''Some concessions can and must be made to a very large number of the American people who sincerely believe that there ought to be a more liberal allowance of currency. Tbe Sherman law furnishes this in a measure. But I think it has very grave defects. Hence I would vote for its repeal If coupled with a proposition to repeal the 10 per cent tax on State bank circulation. This tax is of questionable constitutionality. It has served its purpose and there is no sense in retaining it on the statute books. A .vicious tariff system and the inflated, dishonest capitalization of corporate and iud us trial enterprises have had moie to -do with bringing on our financial trou? bles, than the Sherman law, bad as it is. The prodigality of the last administration ?.eft an empty troaanry, and speculators have taken advantage of this and have aggravated the embarrassments by exag? gerating the situation." Out of a dozen candidates President Cleveland has selected Hon. W. Perry Murphy, ef Colleton, the candidate for Attorney General on the Sheppard and Orr ticket last year, for the position of District Attorney for South Carolina. Without any reflection on the other ap? plicants for the ixKition, all of whom are able lawyers, we do not hesitate to say that President Cleveland could not have made a better selection. Heiseminently qualified for the position, and will per? form bis duty laithfully and zealously. Mr. Murphy is about forty years of age, and having I agun life as a poor boy on a firm, he educated himself and chose the profession of law as his occupation. He has served as Solioitor of the Second Circuit for several terms, and now ranks as one of the brightest lawyers in South Carolina. As soon as the news of the appointment reached Anderson, a n um? ber of our citizens contributed to a small fond, and Mr. C. Ward law was author? ized to send Mr. Murphy a telegram of congratulation in behalf of the citizens of Anderson, which he did immediately. Work at tbe Dispensary* Columbia State. Well, the big State liquor machine is now running in full blast, and the whis? key is being turned out with a rush. The long expected start has been made. The enterprise has been launched on a sea of uncertainty, and it remains to be seen how long it will be before "failure" or 'Success" will bo written across the word ?'Dispensary.'' So far Governor Till man has gone without any interruption; he has a big institution, a well appointed liquor ma? chine, bat there is nojelling what minute an avalanche will swoop down upon him and check his career: It is a risky busi? ness, but no matter what happens the State will lose only $50,000, although the stock and apparatus has cost more than ?200,000. From this day on the progress of mat? ters bearing on the dispensary will pos? sess the greatest interest for tbe people of South Carolina, and every event wiL, *;>e watched closely. The fun hax commenc? ed-, the ball is open, the bands are play? ing, tbe liquor is flowing, the people are talking, the elephant is moving around, and the director of it all, the chief execu? tive of the Palmetto State, Is on the scene, working and shouting his orders, trying to take the wind which threatens de? struction from under the huge canvas, driving down the stakes to make all more secure, and scenting in the liquor many sheckles for the ooners. Early yesterday morning those who had anything to do with the dispensary was on the move. It was the day for the mill to begin turning out, the liquor in drinkable shape. The doors were olosed and a guard placed over them admitting no one except on business. Inside every? thing was all in a hubbub, but very soon order was brought out of chaos, and the big machine began operations, working smoothly. The live men attending to the bottle washing snachines on the ground floor first take the bottles ont of the boxes and pat them upon vhe automatic washers. As soon as they have been thoroughly washed they are dumped into the wash basin and then two or three men rapidly take them therefrom and stack them on a large bottle-carrying truck. As soon as one of these trucks has a load, it is rolled on the elevator and taken up to the first floor. Then it is rolled otf and right alongside the bottling machinery, where the men operating this machinery can reach the bottleu. They are then hung on to the spouts of the automatic bottler and filled. When each bottle has the required amount in it the machine auto? matically outs off the supply, The bot? tles are then placed in crates and passed on to the corkina machines over a roll bed. One stroke of the corker to each bottle does this work. The crates are then taken aorosu tbe hall and the ladies dip the heads of the bottles into the seal? ing wax vats, passing each bottle to her neighbor next above, - who puts on the official stamp. This done the bottle is passed: on to the ladies next above who rte the labels upon them and put them order in the crates. Laborers then take them on up the line to those who handle the wrappers and the wrappers are placed upon them. This done they are once more put in the orate and labor? ers take them to the upper end of the hall where they are stacked ready for the hands of those who will manage the shipping. . It does not take a bottle long to get its supply and pass up the line. Everything is done quickly and neatly and the advantage of using female labor in the work is made apoarant from the dispatch with which the bottles are handled. Yesterday morning the larger quart bottles were tried first and then the smaller sizes. Only the Horthern made, brown colored bottles were used. There was practically no loss of liquor from bieakage or any other cause. At 1 o'clock the concern was shut down for one hour for dinner. At 2 operations were resum? ed, and continued till 6 o'clock. Several thousand bottles were put up during the day. Governor Tillman was here, there and everywhere, surpcrvising the work and giving ins tractions. He intends with the present force to bottle from twenty-five to fifty barrels of liquor a day until the law goes into effect. Mr. A. J. White of the firm of A J. W hite <fc Co., of Cincinnati, who furnish? ed most ef the apparatus and supplies for the dispensary, who is an expert in regard to such matters, is remaining here for several days and is rendering the Governor valuable assistance in running the machine, explaining all points that appear most difficult. Only the best quality of Bourbon whis? key was bottled yesterday. The label being used is a novelty, though pretty. It ia engraved and has somewhat the shape of a coffin. At the top is a star. Then comes the word "Palmetto," brand? ed over the design of tbe official seal of the State that is usually used upon the exeoutive letterheads, showing the pal? metto tree with the crossed arrows and the uprooted oak in tbe rear, the inscrip? tion "Animis Opibusque Parati," etc. Just below in large letters are tbe words "Bourbon Whiskey," Below this on the lower half of the label appears these in? scriptions "Warranted U. S. Standard Proof and Chemically Pure," South Caro? lina State Dispensary, Columbia, S. C. Copyrighted 1893. The official seal has this upon it, "D. H. Traxler, Liquor Commissioner, Columbia, S. U." Governor Tillrhan says he wants to purchase a large number of refrigerators tor the several county and city dispensa? ries, and he asks all barkeepers who wish to dispose of snob property to send to him at once the prices they wish to sell their refrigerators at. He says be prefers to purchase them in this way if the bar? keepers of the State are willing to sell at reasonable prices. He has a Did for the furnishing of ice from one company and requests all who wish to compete for the contract to Bend their bids immediately. No official reports of the dispensaries to be established have yet wandered in to the State board. Yesterday W. W. Moss and A. W. Thompson, -who were appointed on the Oconee board, tendered their resignations and Noah A. Burley and John B. Pickett were appointed to nil tbe vacancies. A Fearful Lightning Stroke.

News and Courier. Columbia, S. C, June IS.?During tbe past few months a great deal bas been said in the newspapers and otherwise on the subject of blacklisting. This is a new development in South Carolina's politics, and where it is going to end is altogether problematic. The blacklisting scheme is one of very recent development, and now that it has been started those who are re? sponsible for its origin are somewhat sorry that it was ever started. The great question is, who is to do the black listing, by what authority is it to be. done aud what shall be considered suflicient provo? cation for the official ban to be announc? ed against any one. For instance, just in an off-band way as I can remember it, tbe following men have been put on the political blacklist from time to time by more or less responsible authorities: President Donaldson, of the Farmers' Alliance; Congressman Shell, Ad jr. Gen. Farley, Representatives Perry, Ashley, Blease and Roper, Senator W; D. Evans, Major Townsond, Chief Clerk Norton, Reading Clerk Caughman, Mr. Walter. In fact this list might be continued ad infinitum. Many alleged traitors to tbe Reform camp, however, when the time comes, will he found supporting Gover? nor Tillman for the United States Senate unless he does something to alienate them. There is no reason, for instance, to be? lieve that Congressmen Shell or Gen. Farley will not be supporters of Gover? nor Tillman and the next Reform candi? date for Governor. Their cases are somewhat similar to those of others and are the direct results of personal feeling existing between Senator Irby and them? selves, and there is no reason to expect a patching up. Senator Irby, as it appears, much to the displeasure of the rank and file of the Reformers, bas gotten np a little black list of bis own, for reasons best known to himself, and is giving it as mnch publicity as possible. Senator Irby is responsible for it, and the Re for t mere are getting very tired of this spiri on bis part to take things in his own hands. Governor Tillman is too good a politician to get at "loggerheads" with Congressman Shell and Gen. Farley, but as Tillman was getting jealous of Donald? son's strength so was Senator Irby getting afraid that when the next Senatorial race came off Congressman Shell would be alter his scalp, and it is his intention, if gssible, to kill out the father of the iform Movement before that time. He is down on Farley simply because of his opposition to him in his candidaev for United States Senator against Wade Hampton. Of course. Perry and Caugh? man and Harris and Roper and all of that olass of men have voluntarily gone from the "Reform" camp so far as Senator Irby and Governor Tillman are concerned, and are most generally ardent supporters of Senator Butler for re-election. Some of these men it will t be found will be "Reformers" so far as State politics are concerned, but when it comes to national politics will draw tbe line and hold that tbe duty of a Reformer in State politics does hot extend to the support of Gover? nor Tillman lor the United States Senate. They claim that they have the right to draw the line between State and United States politics. It is a recognized fact that Governor Tillman in his candidacy for the United States Senate will not have tbe undivided support of the Reform Movement against Butler. Senator Butler bas a great nKy j warm personal friends in the ranks of [ the Reform party, who will not under 'any consideration surrender their per? sonal preferences to any imaginary politi? cal allegiance. Then there is another class of reformers who think that Gover? nor Tillman has received as much politi? cal honor as he deserves at the hands of! the party, and still another class who will vote for the return of Senator Butler on account of bis recognized qualifica? tions, unquestioned services to the State and his unremitting attention to the work intrusted to him. There is one thing that seems to be certain, and that is that the imaginary dread of quitting the "Reform" Move? ment seems to have been dispelled. There does not seem to be any uneasiness about the matter, and men who were at one time prominent "Reformers" are now on tbe other side of the political fight, and do not seem at all ashamed of it The quitting of the "Reform" party seems to be getting so general now that nothing strange is thought of it when those who leave have so many compan? ions that they have no reason to feel lost. It has from time to time been suggested that Governor Tillman would have to run for a third time in order to hold his faction together. While the necessity of | holding it together may be true, it may bo said with authority that Governor Tiilman's closest political friends regard this third term project as a Bcheme for side tracking him, .and will not permit him to abandon the original plan of be? coming a candidate at the next election for the United States Senate and nothing else. It is pretty well agreed that if it is fonnd that the struggle between John Gary Evans and Tindal for the nomina? tion of Governor by the "Reform" party ?ets too bitter, a March convention will e held to settle the issue, or a dark horse be put up as a "Reform" candidate for Governor. Govornor Tiilman's devotion to the dispensary is something remarkable. He is there all day, and during the past few weeks, and' especially during the illness of Commissioner Traxler, has been there almost all the time directing the work. His headquarters have been removed from tbe State House to tbe dispensary building. Important papers have been sent to him at tbo dispensary by Secretary TompkinB for hi* official signature. It is very clear that Governor Tillman is completely wedded to the new law and wants, if possible, to make it a success. For the present Governor Till? man is very much more de facto Gover? nor of the dispensary than of the State. While the most extensive preparations are going on for the opening of the dis? pensary business there is pretty good reason to believe that tbe dispensary will have to go through a rough and stumpy road both in tbe Courts and public opin? ion. It is announced that tbe directory of the Southern Express Company had decided to refuse' to make a test case of their right to haul goods into the State from other States, but have decided to co-operate with the dispensary authori? ties under the rules recently announced. He wait a Sourer* Millen, Ga., June 16.?The central portion of our town for the past few weeks has been greatly disturbed and alarmed at night by the hideous sounds of what was supposed to be some wild animal that was making nightly visits to our town. These unearthly sounds ac? tually brought consternation and fear to the older and more thoughtful people, while those ot nervous temperament were thrown into spasmodic fits, Small children woke with frightful fits of] soreaming and refused to be quieted. Our bravest and most atout-hearted men dared not go out to investigate. These distressing sounds were varied from tbe screaming of a torn cat to tbe braying of a mule, and concluded with a growl very much resembling that of an angry tigress while at other times it took tbe sound of a hungry, roaring lion. The whole thing remained a profound mystery until a few nights ago Dr. J. L. Farmer, while out on a professional call, passed through the immediate vicinity of J the disturbance, and discovered that these unearthly sounds proceeded from a certain boarding house aud were caused by a new cecupant of said bouse who is now best known to our citizens as tbe champion snoror of the world. The doc? tor states on oath that these sounds could be heard distinctly for 300 yards, and had it not been for a freight train running in just at that time ho thinks it might have been heard a mile. The doctor is staking his reputation as a practicing physician against any man who will compete with this notorious anoter.?Atlanta Constitu? tion. Farewell to the Jilep, Editor Blackburn, of the Atlanta Even? ing Herald, is moved by our dispensary law to tbe production of the following prose poem; "Impenetrable gloom has settled over the State of South Carolina and there is weeping and wailing and gnashing of teeth. In the Palmetto State you must take your liquor as the crow flies. "Tbe mixologist has been banished, and with him goes tbe mahogany, the mirrors, the cut glass, the glare, the glitter and tbe fancy drinks that tbe world bas been inventing for thousands pf years. "youth Carolina has gone back to first principles. "No more shall the tinkle, tinkle, tin? kle of tbe ice keep company with the fragrance of the mint, nor the treasures of the brown bees mingle with the dews of the orchard, nor tbe gin-fizz, nor the whiskey sours, nor the sherry cobblers, know or be known by Thomas and Jere? miah. "The little brown iug rules the roost, and tbe flask in the hip pocket is the sub? stitute for tbe old regime. "Savannah's day has come!" ? A Texas man was driven insane by swallowing a live frog while drinking from a spring. All Yon Cnn Carry. We pointed out, a few days ago when the latest 1 Rules" of the State board of control were published, that some mis? apprehension and confusion was likely to arise in consequence of the failure of the board to specify in Rule 5 just what quantity of liquor a person could bring into the Sta:o on a railroad train without incurring the official suspicion of bring? ing it in for the purpose of sale. The rule, it will be remembered, read as follows: "Rule 5. Liquors purchased beyond the limits of tbe State may be brought into the State and transported by public carri? ers as personal baggage in charge of the passenger who owns the same, provided that it be not in such quantity as to indi? cate that it is for sale." On Saturday the board caused this rule to be enlarged by the addition of an ex? planatory c ause, as follows: "Personal baggage as used above moans such packages as are carried by hand into the cars." So that tha rule is perfectly plain now. Under the Dispensary law, as it is offi? cially cons;rued and declared by the State board of control, a person may purchase outside tbe State and bring into the State or. a railroad, "as his personal baggage," any "package" of intoxicating liquor which he can "carry by hand into the cars." Almost any man ought to be able to carry a five gallon demijohn. A strong drinker ought to be able to carry a ten gallon keg with ease. Men of exceptional muscle ought to be able to carry a twer-ty gallon keg. All depends on your roxrying capacity. You can purchase in Augusta, for instance, and take home vith you on the train just as much whiskey as you can "carry by hand into the cars " without subjecting yourself to the slightest penalty or inter? ference. For the State board of control have said It, and they are the highest authority on the subject. We suggest that, under this ruling, a convenient form of "package" for such purchases would be a tin valise, holding say five gallons. Such a package would not strain the arm to carry it into the cars, and it would be well within tbe limits of the law as defined by the board in Rule 5, as amended. Demijohns would be awkward to handle and liable to break. The tin valise would be "handy" and would staod considerable knocking abont on and under the car seats until it reached its destination. On five gallons of the cheapest whiskey, which wonld cost say 810 in Augusta as compared witb $15 at tbe nei.rest dispensary there would be a saving cf 55 at once. Every drinker along the liues of the railroads leading across tbe ?ltate border should provide himself therefore witb a five gallon valise at once. Th) saving on one purchase of whiskey in Augusta, Wilmington, Char? lotte or Savannah would pay the cost of the tin valiss, and the saving of every subsequent t rip would be so much clear profit. The board have construed the law in the most liberal way It only remains for interested parties to avail themselves of such construction on every favorable occasion.?Nsws and Courier. He Is oat of Politics. Last night a reporter of tbe News called on Congressman G. W. Shell at tbe resi? dence of W. D. Metts, on Whitner street. Captain Shell is in fine health and seems to nave little care or trouble judging from bis personal appearance. The reporter opened up on politics as a matter of course. The captain smiled pleasantly, but re? marked : "You remember, I announced in Jan nary that I was out of politics, I want to re-affirm whut I then said. I am out of politics. It is strange this cannot be un? derstood." There was something of a pathetic tone to his voice as be said: "I wanted to retire from public life quietly, carrying with me the kind feel? ing and good will of my follow citizens: I wanted to retire gracefully and peacefully. But it seems that I am not understood, ro I say to you to-night, I am no longer in politics and I wish this un? derstood." The roportor asked him if he had seen the two contradictory statements publish? ed in the Colimbia Journal, interviews with two Tillmanites, one affirming that he was a true blue Tillmanite and the other that he was a traitor and wonld be bounced out of the reform party. He re? plied that he bad not seen tbe articles and in consequents could not express any opinion in regard to them. " What about the bitter attack of tbe Register ?" asked the reporter. He smiled pleasantly, thought a mo? ment and replied: "Well, to tell the truth, I am not advised as to tbe motives of tbe Regis? ter in making a gratuitous attack upon me." Hes'tating a moment, Captain Shell raised his hand and with quick utteranoe said: "I am to-day as much wedded to the reform movement as I was in 1888 when I was elected president of the Farmera's association. No man can deny this. When I had the management of the re? form movement I considered it in a strong and healthy condition. To those who have chnrge of tbe movement I wish great success. It does seem 'strange that my loyalty to a party which I had con? siderable par-; in building up should be doubted at this late day. But these doubts can exist only in the' minds of those who are embittered by jealousy. I have tried to do my duty in congress, fairly and conscientiously, and now I am out of politic*." Captain Shrill seems to feel relieved by the idea O:'being, out of the politi? cal arena and be will evidently en jo*: observing tho making and breaking of slates, and the tussle for places and pow? er. Captain Sboll was given a drive over the city in about tbe handsomest landau in town by prominent citizens who have been well known as supporters of his and many of them gathered "around him in the streets or called upon him.?Green? ville News, June 16. No Ettortion Practiced. Chicago, June 15.?We have been agreeably surprised since arriving in Chicago to find that it is not as expensive to visit the World's Fair as Charleston ians imagined it would be. We heard all sorts of tales before we left home ; among others that an extra atnoun t of at least $35 would be required to see all that was necessary; that the food of tbe restau? rants was very poor and tbe prices very high ; that no seats were to be had, and that you woutd have to carry a heavy camp chair over the grounds wherever you went; that the orowd would be enormous; that board was very high, and the.accommodations poor; that bag* Sigo was never delivered under three ays, etc., etc, AH of these things we have found to be untrue. Good board oau be obtained at from one to two dollars a day without food, and me Us are furnished at some places at fifty cents apiece. Lower rates than these can be found. At the restau? rants in the grounds one can make a sub? stantial meal for less than a dollar, and a lunch for from ten to twenty-five cents. Of course the-e is a choice of cafes. The Casino, the Polish Restaurant, the White Horse Inn wo have found to be the best, but there are a great many of them. There are sea ?s all about the different buildings and grounds and can be hired at ten cents a day, and many people use them. I havi bean here ten days and have not needed one yet. Gno may rest for hours without let or hindrance in any of the State buildings, which are always hospitably opened and are usually luxu? riously fijrniiihed. Everything outsido the Midway Plais ance is free, ?nd can be seen without ex? tra charge. In fact never was so much given to the visitor for fifty cents since the world began. It includes all tbe Government and State buildings, all the educational, scientific, horticultural, etc., etc., exhibits^ which it would require a life time to see properly and a world of knowledge tc fully understand. Besides these Thorn a;; gives frequent free concerts where the finest music can be heard for nothing, in a very delightful music ball where one may comfortably sit, rest and listen. In the Midway Plaisance each exhibit makes an extra charge, but it is distinct from the Fair, and the loss would not be very great if it was not Been at all, Tbe Fair is a grand, a magnificent success, The beauty of the buildings architectur? ally and the loveliness of the grounds is enjoyment enough for the eye if there was nothing also to be seen. Boston may retire at presont into obscurity, for Jack? son park is now the hub of the universe, tbe meeting place of all the nations. We converse daily and without astonishment with French, Germans, English, Japan? ese, Chinese and representatives from Siam, Egypt, Africa, not to speak of per? sons from ?ll States- of tho Union, and this also is a delightful feature of the {rroat Fair, for all are smiling and all are polite. In fact tho ?Ood nature of the crowd and of all tho officials is really remarka? ble. Everyone seems glad to answer evon the most, absurd question, and there are guards at every point from whom in? formation may be obtained. Altogether 3 advise everyone who can possibly scrape together the money to como and sen this magnificent Fair.? Special to News and Courier, liUCTAJL NEWS. COUNTY CORRESPONDENCE. Williamston Items.

Mr. Base, of Abbeville, will deliver the address before tbe Alumna* Associa? tion. On Friday night the annual recep? tion of the Alummo will be held. Every one is invited to the two addresses, and invitations have been sent out for the re? ception. Jeter H. Piedmont Items. The threshers are now upon us and we have got so much grass that I don't see how we are to get time to stop and haul up wheat now and thresh it, but tbe good wife says if they don't come right now and thresh our wheat and let us have some to take to mill that I will have to buy some flour, for I havent got the money, and they won't credit me, or I don't want them to. So you see I am between two fires you might say, and Just how to get out I don't see. Anyhow ', will make the beat I can of it. The crops are growing fast and that consoles ns to some extent in these days of adversity. I did say that Spring oats was no account and would not make any? thing, but I see now thatl spoke in haste. I wish I bad not said it, for they have come out so since the rains Bet in that they give us promise now of plenty of feed until corn can be gathered in the fall. I will say again to the farmers to plant some little' rich spots of their stubble land in corn and peas, putting a little manure in the drill, and if you have never tried it you will be surprised at the result. It is not too late to plant anything this month ?it don't take much work to make it, and it will grow thicker on tbe ground. I see some of your correspondents wants to have a meeting, some suggesting Anderson, some Williamston the place. I vote it to be at or near Anderson, at some good spring?a good place for a pic nie, and I move and second that we all take our families and baskets and invite the whole Intelligencer crow, from editors and proprietors down to the man that turns the printing press, to be with us and help us eat our dinner. All in favor of the motion say "I." Let the time be after crops are laid by?say about 25th of July, or near that time, on what? ever day of the week the printers can spare to go. Wheat is good in this settlement, so is corn and cotton, and as I said oats are a Sood deal better than we expected, bo I on't see that the people have so much to be grumbling about hard times, but they do and I reckon always will. With a good wheat crop and as much fruit as there is, there's no danger of perishing that I can see?not very close at hand no way. If Mr. Tillman sells us pure liquor cheap, as he says he will do, all who like it and wish to, can put up plenty of brandy peaches, and bo on to have plenty of fine drinks for the next year. But! don't know how this dispensary business is going to work. South Carolina is Setting in bad shape some how, and I on't see how we are to get straight again soon. It reminds me of what an intelli? gent bebrew said once, which was this: That when Alexander Hamilton retired from public life he purchased a tract of land out in the rural districts of New York State and improved it for his coun? try home, and among other improve? ments he set out a row of trees along a lane? thirteen in number, to represent tbe thirteen States and named them, one after each of the thirteen States. They all grew to make nice trees and all were very straight except two. The one for Massachusetts, leaned a little, for, he said, Sou know Massachusetts was always a ttle cranky and one-sided but, says he, the one named for South Carolina was so very crooked that it wouldn't stay inside the fence, and, says he, that is the way Sooth Carolina is, she won't stay any? where, and it does begin to iook so. Tbe health of this community is tolera? ble good now, though wo have been siok ourself and some of our neighbors bavo but we are all doing better now. To get done laying by now is the cry all aroundand another month will about Eut us through, and it has been a close, usy season, too, but that ia what it takes to make a living. The farmer has his work all to do in about ten months while people of other occupations can take the whole twelve months to do their year's work in. So you see we haye to rush to make up that two months lost time. Come over, Messrs. Editors, and see us. Our watermelons are a little late, but they will be in after awhile, and Spring chickens are now beginning to come in. So I will close by saying write soon etc., etc. Squire Fewel. 1 Towuvllle Locals. We are having an abundance of rain at present. Prof. J. W. Gaines and lovely yfite, of | Westminister, S. C, are visiting relatives in Town ville at this time. Mrs. C. W. ^ay and Miss Llllie Major, of Beltoh, S. C? are visiting W. F. If. Fant, Esq., this week. Mr. James Hanby, of Oconee, presented us with a very unique pipe not long ago Tbe pipe is carved out of a briar root and lined with tin, while the stem Is composed of stone aud cane. Mr. Hanby did all tbe work about it, whioh proves that he is a genius of a high order. If some friend will be so kind ;acd condescending to this most humble, obedient and obsequious servant as to present me with some tobace o I will take a smoke. Mrs. Elizabeth Bruoe, living near this place, is suffering with a cancer on ber nose. Tbe cancer made its appearance about twenty years ago, and Mrs. Bruoe made plasters of sheep sorrel and loaf su? gar and applied to it and thought at the time that the roots were all drawn out, but recently it bas made its appearance very near where it was before, in a more malignantform. Mr. Clifton Brown, one of our talented youtbs, will attend tbe Fort Hill College. Capt. H. R. Yandiver is able to be out again. Miss Ella Brown and sister, of Anderson, S. C, are boarding awhile with Or. W? K. Sharpe, of this place. Mrs. Malinda Buttles, of this plaoe, is in very bad health at present, Mrs. J. P. Bradberry and Mrs. Ida Ma rett, of Fair Play, spent the day with your correspondent not long ago, If you have a County baby show Mrs. J. P. Brad ber? ry's baby will certainly take the prize. It weighed twenty-two pounds at three months old. Miss Eliza Gantt, one of our most charming girls, Is visiting relatives in Pendleton, S. C, this week. Old Robin De Bow. Cedar Grove Items. We guess, Mr. Editor, that nearly every one of tbe Intelligencer's correspon? dents will commence bis items this week by referring to tbe rajn and grass. Well, we have a few bunches of grass, and the old woman wants to send samples to the World's Fair, but as it would take too much time to find the best bunches she will have to give it up. We believe, how? ever, we would get the premium. We have elected our town officers, as follows: Mayor, A. B. Campbell; Alder meo, J. B. Balson and Will. Lollis ; Mar? shal, M. A- Mahaffey; Board of Health, Dr. A. L. Copeland. The Dispensary law is being freely dis? cussed in our section. We tbink it is time that every man, be he a Tillmanite or anti-Tillmanite, should talk about it and express his honest opinion. There are a large number of Reformers who are not pleased with the law. What do Christian people and prohibitionists mean by advo? cating the Dispensary law and encourag? ing the sale of whiskey ? Tbe selling of intoxicating liquors as a beverage is against the teachings of Christianity and is wrong, no matter by whom it is sold? the State or an Individual. Our State has surely come to a pretty pass when it has to sell hell-fire to get money to run the Government, Grit. a Grand Reunion of Old Survivors. Greenwood, S. C, .Tune 17, 1893. Editors Intelligence)': From the reso? lutions below it will be seen that the next Fourth of July will be a big day for Greenwood and S. C. Survivors. Gen. John B. Gordon will be present to deliv? er an address to "*e Confederate veterans. Greeuwood Is proud of being selected as the place ef meeting, and extends through this medium a cordial invitation to all Confederate survivors?rank and file?to be present. A Committee has been appointed to secure special ratos, and excursion trains run all lines passing through Greenwood frem the following points : Columbia, Greenville, Walhalla, Augusta, Spartanburg, Atlanta, Monroe, and all intermediate points. Trains will arrive here at a reasonable hour in the forenoon, and depart in the afternoon or night, as the occasion may require.

Tickots will bo sold at greatly reduced rates. In addition to addresses by Gen.

The following are tbe resolutions: "Whereas, the survivors of the Sixth South Carolina Cavalry have called a meeting for the Fourth of July next, at Greenwood, for the purpose of effecting a permanent organization ; and, whereas, the citizens of Greenwood and vicinity feel a deep interest in tbe movement and desire to make the occasion enjoyable.

L Carr, Secretary." Irby Gets in Some Work, Washington, June 10.?Senator Irby made a quick manoeuvre to-day. He ar? rived here this morning at 6 o'clock, and left again to-night at 11. The junior Sen? ator is a hustler when he starts. He vis? ited every department, and did more walking to-day than the average Con? gressman does in a week. He called on the President at 4 o'clock this afternoon, and bad nearly an hour's interview. He discussed South Carolina affairs, and feels satisfied, be says, at the result. He stuck a knife in Ben Perry and got even for the latter's recent sarcastic telelegram. "You may say one thing as certain," he said, "Perry will not be the next Collec? tor of South Carolina." The Senator put in a goed word for McCalla, and urged John T. Gaston for Marshal. He also took a bout in the in? terest of Barle for the attorneyship. He says he did all the harm he could to those who do not agree with him. Senator Irby called on Secretary La mont and bad Lieut. Donaldson, at pres? ent commandant of cadets at Patrick's Military Institute, Anderson, transferred to Clemson College. The change will be made at once. The Senator called on the Sergeant of-arms of the Senate and secured places for three of bis constituents, at a salary of 5750 each. He refused to say whom he had appointed to these places. He also called on Postmaster General Bissell and secured the appointment of T. E. Harris, in place of T. B. Anderson, as postmaster at Waterloo. Congressman Brawley called on the Secretary of the Treasury to-day to see if Bob Smalls would be removed from the collector's office at Beaufort. Mr. Car? lisle had previously written Mr. Brawley to call and name a successor to Smalls. When he did so to-day, the Secretary said that the President bad deoided to let SmallB hold over until tho end of his term, from the date of his commission. Congressman Brawley had Mrs. W. D. Porcher appointed postmaster at Fort Motte and H. N. Fair at St. Matthews. Tbe postmaster at St. George's will hold over until the end of his term. Home News from Washington, Washington, June 15.?E. M. Ruck er, of Columbia, flung a big stick into tbe government fruit tree to-day and a nice plum fell into bis apron. Secretary Hoke Smith appointed him to a $2,000 clerkship in the office of the Assistant Attorney General for the Interior, Department. Though a Conservative, Mr. Rucker was endorsed by both Senators Butler and Irby. Ex-Congressman Johnstone call? ed with Mr. Rucker to-day on Sec? retary Smith, when the latter shook the tree. Mr, Brantly, of Orangeburgt who has been a clerk in the Treasury for some time, was to-day made a chief of a divis? ion, at 83,0QQ salary. Senator Bdtler and Representative Brawley called to-day on the President. They had quite a lengthy interview, but nothing was definitely settled, The Distriot attroney will be the next appointment made. It will come between now and the first of July. The fight has narrowed down between ex Congressman George W. Dargan, of Darlington, and W. Perry Murphy, Walterboro. The in? dications are that Dargan will land. If he does, Hugh S. Thompson will stand as sponsor. Mr. Cleveland said the other day1 that at present Dargan seemed to him to be the liest man. This was shortly after a talk between the President and Governor Thompson. Two important appointments for South Carolina will be made to-morrow, which have peculiar significance. D. R. Darby will be appointed postmaster at Walhalla and A. McN. Turner at Ninety-Six. Post? master General Bissell said to-day that these names had been sent down for the official list. Robert Smalls' official life is searing its end. It should have become extinct two days ago, when his term as collector at tho'port of Beaufort ended. If his term dates from the corn mission, be will last over six months yet, but this is hard? ly thought) possible, Senator Butler left to-night for home. He will be gone some time, Representa? tive Brawley will remain on the field for some time to come.?Special to Columbia Slate. -? m a mm - Cut for Her Witch Tein. Buchanan, Ga., June 14.?Willis Wes? ley Shaw, oolored, is now under the ous tody of Sheriff Johnson for assault with intent to murder an old negro woman near Bremen yesterday afternoon. Shaw was plowing when the old woman came near picking berries. He ordered her away, calling her a thief. At this the old witch, as she is known, followed after him pretending to pick up his tracks. In or? der to keep from being bewitched Shaw turned upon her with a knife to cut her witch vein, as he says, and inflicted a three-inch gash in her neck, which it is thought will prove fatal.
