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.

The Fight for the Senate.
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,

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

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.?

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.

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.

follows: Mayor, A. B. Campbell; Alder

shal, M. A- Mahaffey; Board of Health,

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

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

What is Tour Prospect for
Fruit?
The Jersey Fruit Journal tells us
that we are to have the biggest fruit
crop ever known in this country.
Already arrangements are being
made for the largest Canning business
ever recorded,
What are you going to do in the
matter? Let your fruit fall and rot
oq the ground and buy of your neigh?
bor or grocer ? No! You can't af?
ford it. Better, by far, "let each tub
stand on its own bottom."
Can your own fruit. Be sure to
Can what you need for home use.
Then, if you have time, Can some to
sell your improvident neighbors.
There are always sure to be some
who nevev prepare for the future.
They arc like the drones iu a bee hive.
Some oue else must furnish bread for
their mouth and oil for their vessels.
"Why not you ?
Right here let us say a word that
will save a few cans of fruit and a
great deal of vexation : If you want
to use your old jars, get new rubbers
for them. The rubbers cost you very
little, and you will not regret the out?
lay. Your fruit may keep with old
rubbers, but it is much safer with
clean new ones.
Get the original and geuuino MA?
SON JAR, and trust to the good
sense of your thrifty wife for the bal?
ance, and you'll be sure to have plenty
to eat next Winter, if you never have
it again.
"We have a limited supply of Fruit
Jars and extra Rubbers.
We trust all will be supplied, but
can't promise to bold goods for late
comers,
Hoping that the grain crop will
only bo as good as the fruit crop is
sure to he,
We are yours always truly,

Now the reason why we can sell these goods so cheap is plain to any one who will
give the matter a moment's thonght; and. judging from the liberal trade our friends
are giving us, they have already given it more than a moment's thought. We do our
own clerking, book-keeping and all store work, and at the end of each month don't
have to pay out several hundred dollars to clerks, book-keepers, &c, thereby saving,
our customers that amount, which would necessarily have to be made on them.
No, these are plain facts that any one can see for himself and be convinced. We
know that buying cheap for the cash, and doing our -own work, and dealing honestly
with everybody will give us plenty of work to do, and on this depend for success.
Best Coffee in the world. One Car Flour just received, that we can sell cheaper
than the same grade wad ever before offered in this Town, and every Barrel guaranteed..

J. P. GOSSETT & CO,
WHOLESALE
AND
RETAIL DEALERS IN
BOOTS AND SHOES,
HAVE postponed the reorganization of their Firm
until AUGUST 1st, 1893, and have extended until that
time the closing out of their LARGE STOCK of
BOOTS and SHOES. They will also throw on the
market at least one hundred Cases of NEW SHOES,
which have already been bought for the Spring and
Summer trade. This extension of time gives to the
people of Upper Carolina the grandest opportunity that
they have ever had, and will probably ever have again,
of saving money so largely in the purchase of Shoes.
Just think of it! One of the largest, newest, best as?
sorted, best bought stock of Boots and Shoes in the
State thrown on the market for five months?
At Cost?Actual Cost of Goods in New York and Boston,
With freight added. All parties not satisfied with their
purchases can get the money back by returning the
Shoes unsoiled.
AH Shoes bearing our name or the name of the man?
ufacturers are guaranteed to give a reasonable amount
of wear,
