The Negro Press Association devoted a considerable part of its session in Rich ond to a discussion of the . question hethex the word negro should be spelled yltha capital .or a small'initial letter. Rev. Mr. Cooiey, one of the dele , ^gave the convention some good vice when he said: "We put too much portance upon the name by which we .called. Let us improve ourselves, and allow tbe people to spell our name ith a little 'n' or a big 'N' or any kind 'end' they wish to." It seems silly to talk aboct the compe ition of labor, the over crowding of this >untry and monopoly of the land caus ag proverty in this part of the universe. i is the size of France. The latter >untry supports a population of' 38,000, I or more than half the inhabitants of i our States and Territories. When we consider the met if this country had 300, (000,000 people it would not be as crowded as Belgium or China, we must come to i conclusion that our present 63,000,000 rple have scarcely tickled the surface ' (he land with a hoe. 'There is a movement on for a shot 5wn of all the New England textile lufactories, owing to the stringency the money market. The movement i inaugurated last week, when the big Amoakesg cotton plant at Manchester, N. BL, closed. This mill carried monthly pay roll of 9225,000. Its action was folio wed by many others. There are three reasons that unite to cause the shnt&ing-dowu. The goods now being manufactured cannot besold until Oclo ; ber, and no money can be realized on [them until next Spring, and it is not leemed advisable to pile up goods. The Atlanta, Constitution says the little town of Tipton, Iowa, is laboring in the ^throes of anew religious frenzy. Anew sect has strubk the town called the "Htttvenly Recruits." Where they came fror.1 nobody seems to know. They spri ng up apparently out of the ground, or possibly fell down from heaven, and are holding services every hour of the day and night, with twelve preachers, or evangelists, who relieve one another and keep the thing a-going. The preaching is of the most lurid hell-fire and brim? stone sort, and already a great many con? verts have been made, also several luna? tics. Somebody goes insane almost every day, and the wildest scenes are constantly enacted. The Recruits ssy that the end of the world is only a few days off. ~ Tie closing down of many silver mines, smefters and the reduction of tbe working 1 mines, railways and rnanu-^ etc ties in Colorado because of the reduc on in the price of silver has caused a eplorable condition of affairs among the boring classes ot tbat State, It is esti ' id that there are 30,000 men, with ep< ndant families, thrown out of enj? oyment.

The people of th e South are complaining of hard times, when, in fact, they cannot reaPze the meaning of the term if they will, compare their condition with the condition of the people of the far West We ought to thank God every hour of our lives for the many blessings we are receiving, and cease onr grumbling. ST ATM 1'KESft ASSOCIATION. The nineteenth annual session of the South Carolina Frees-Association was held in Columbia last week, and was one of the most profitable and interesting meeting of the press gang we have ever had the pleasure of attending. The meet? ing was called to order Wednesday after? noon, at 5 o'clock, in Bepreuentatives' Hall, in the State House, which had been kindly tendered for our use by Secretary of State Tindall, with President Wallace, of the Newberry Observer, in the chair, and the- proceedings were opened with prayer by the Chaplain, Rev. Sid? H. Brown. All of the other officers were present and readyfor business. The at? tendance was large, and quite a number of new names were enrolled as members of tiae Association. President Wallace then delivered a most excellent and interesting address, and at its inclusion Mayor Fisher, on behalf of the citizens of Columbia, ex? tended a cordial welcome to the Associ? ation. The reports of the officers were called for, and, after reading the same, the Asso? ciation entered, upon its work promptly. At about 7.30 o'clock the Association took a recess for an hour. At the night session considerable busi? ness was transacted, and Editor Wilson, of the Abbeville Press and Banner, delivered the annual address before the Association. His subject was "The Amenities and Mistakes in Journalism." Of course, it was a masterly effort and exceedingly interesting to the members* He was followed by Mr. Reynolds, of the state, upon "improvements in the mod? em printing office," which he handled in a very entertaining manner. \ The session of the Association opened early Thursday morning and, with the exception of a short recess at noorrpcon? tinued throughout the day. The Asso? ciation was entertained during the day by addresses from several of the mem? bers on subjects of interest to the gang. The election of officers was made the special order for 12 m. and resulted as follows: President, Hugh Wilson,ol the Abbeville Press and Banner; Vice Pres? idents, K. T. Jaynes, of the Keowee Cou? rier, and John Q. Capers, of the Columbia Journal; Chaplain, Rev. Sidi H. Brown; Secretary,C H. Prince; Treasurer, F. Melchers. Secretary Prince, as chairman of the committee on trip to the World's Fair, reported that he had succeeded in arrang? ing transportation for the members, and the 17th of August was selected as the date to start on the trip. The route will be via Asheville, Paint Rock and Cincin? nati. Thia meeting throughout was exceed? ingly interesting and harmonious. Each individual member no doubt was profit? ed by being present and returned home with better opinions of each other and a nobler appreciation of our profession. The editors were treated to a drive around the city, a ride on the electric cars, and on Thursday night the Associa? tion enjoyed a banquet given by the citi? zens of Columbia. During the evening Mr. Jaynes, in behalf of the Association, presented Secretary Prince with a gold watch in token of appreciation of his suc? cessful i efforts in perfecting the trip of the Association to the World's Fab*. The citizens of Columbia and the mem? bers of her local press left nothing un? done that would tend to the comfort and enjoyment of the editors, all of whom regretted that their stay ic the city could not be prolonged. Daring our drive around the city we were impressed with the fact that the grand old .Capitol City "s arousing from her apparent lethargy. Her citizens are wide awake, and, displte the stringency of the times, improvements could be seen going on in almost every section of the city. On the banks of the famous canal am, immense cotton mill is in process of erection, and when completed will be one of the largest in, the South. The Com? pany has a capital of $750,000, which will be expended in building and equipping the mill, which will give employment to one thousand persons. In this enterprise the citizens are on the right track, and we' hope in the near future to see other enter? prises inaugurated there. Every true Carolinian feels an interest in the welfare of the old city, which has been the scene of so many historical incidents in the past, and would rejoice to see it a thriv? ing, prosperous city of several hundred thousand inhabitants. May that day be not far distant A press dispatch from Pittsburgh re? ports that every plate glass factory ! n the United States is closed and that indefi? nitely, and that 10,000 men are idle as a result. The cause of this disastrous state of affairs Is attributed to over production, a tight money market and the arbl trary methods of the plate glass trust Muoh distress has been caused among the em? ployes by being thrown out of employ? ment It is a matter of great regret to bee this branch of industry in its entirety suc? cumb to- -the stress of the times. It is painful to contemplate the sore straits to which many of this army of employes will be driven by the misfortune. The mere influence of the closing of these establishments will be in a measure per? nicious. It is worthy of note that the present occasion is the first in the history of the trade that all plate glass factories in the country have closed their doors. Jadge Hudson's rest?inin? order against Floyd and others, forbidding them to open a dispensary In the town of Darlington, was carried to Justice Pope, of the Supreme Bench, by the Attorney General, and the Justice granted an order staying and superseding the order issued by Judge Hudson. The effect of Justice Pope's action was to nullify the order of Jndge Hudson and to allow the opening of the dispensary at Darlington. The dispensary was accordingly opened, but on the 24th inst tho dispenser and Board of Control were served with an order from Judge Hudson to show cause before him on Friday next why they should not be punished for contempt of I Court ia disregarding his injunction. Judge Hudson evidently regarded the unusual interference from Justice Pope as an over-reaching of his authority and he took stops to enforce the order which j Justice Pope sought to set aside. The case Is one of much interest, and the ! vigor with which Judge Hudsonstands to his convictions must command the respect and admiration of even those who so much hope to see his decision over-rul? ed. This able Jadge also refused to grant an order of injunction against one James from keeping and maintaining a place for the sale of intoxicating liquors in the town of Darlington, or to grant an order to search bis premises, and to abate the nuisance alleged to have been created by him. He bases his decisions in these matters upon the fundamental law of the State, and declares that the constitution does not grant such powers an the Dis? pensary Act has sought to give to the Judges for the enforcement of its provis? ions. ? ? ? -, The New York World prints the replies it has received to its telegraph i c request sent to the Governors and United States Senators of every State sooth of Mason and Dlxon's line and west of the Missis? sippi River for their views upon tha questions whether or not they favor the repeal of the Sherman law, and what measure to be substituted for the Sher? man law if they do not favor its uncondi? tional repeal; and if at the extra session Congress should enact tariff legislation. Replies have not been received from all the persons addressed because many of them were taking their vacations at p'tu c* beyond telegraphio communication, but so far as they have been heard from not a single Southern or Western Governor or United States Senator favors the Sherman law out and out. Some of the Southern? ers favor its unconditional repeal. All are willing and many anxious that it should be repealed conditionally, but they do net agree as to what should be substituted for it. Nearly all the Western and some of the Southern statesmen favor absolute free coinage of silver. Several of them refer vaguely to a cold conspiracy, and others condemn the crime of'73 when silver was demonetized. Even, tho Sherman law is said by some to have degraded silver and to have mado necessary the rehabilitation of white metal money. Several of the replies from Republicans as well as Democrats favor tariff legislation at the special session, but most of them say that the tariff ques? tion has been displaced by the financial problem and ooght to be left alone until Congress meets in regular session. Sen? ator Coke, of Texas, however, thinks Congress could and should deal with both queationn at once. JUDGE HUDSON'S DECISION. One ?f the Ablest imd Oldest Members of the Anderson Dar Gives His Opinion of the Decision. Mb. Editor : You have asked me for an article in relation to Judge Hudson's decision holding the Dispensary Law to be unconstitutional. I have thought that this law as a revenue measure would be a success, notwithstanding all that has been said against it, but if it be a viola? tion of the Constitution of the State it is an usurpation of power we cannot afford to justify upon such a consideration. This is a question for the decision of the Supreme Court, upon a calm and im? partial consideration of all the interest? ing questions raised by Judge Hudson in his decision. His objections to the Act are numerous, and some of them no doubt well founded, but that which par? ticularly! struck me was the direct con? flict between the principles of constitu? tional law announced by him, and some of the pernicious doctrines which are being disseminated among our people in reference to the powers and functions of government, and which are embodied in some of the political platforms. It is this very conflict of opinion that has pro? voked the injudicious threats that he must be decapitated, and which may be made the subject of discussion without invading the province of the Supreme Court. Judge Hudson holds, no doubt correct? ly, that the police power of the State must be exercised subject to constitu? tional limitations. That the Dispensary Act, In so far as it prohibits the manufac? ture and sale of intoxicating liquors, is a proper exercise of this power, and to that .extent the Act is constitutional. But what he .denies, as I understand him, is that the*Constitution contains any dele? gation of power, either in express terms or by necessary implication, authorizing the Legislature to confer on any other branch of the government the exclusive right to trade and traffic in intoxicating lieuors, and to tax the people to carry on the business. He maintains that trade and commerce are not proper functions of government, and that if the Legisla? ture, in the exercise of its police power, can confer on any branch of the govern? ment a monopoly in one business, it can confer a like monopoly in another, and that suob a doctrine. logically pursued would lead to the overthrow ot Republi? can government. He affirms the right of the State to either regulate or totally pro? hibit the manufacture and sale of intoxi? cating liquors, but what he denies is that the Legislature can confer on any other branch of the government a monopoly of the business, for if it can confer a mo-' nopoly in one business it can confer a like monopoly in another, and so on un? til the whole business of the country is monopolized by the State. And thisjs precisely the condition of things advo? cated by the Socialists. It may be argned in favor of the law that it is a proper ex? ercise of the police power because it be? longs to the L?r islature to enact all such wholesome and reasonable laws not re i pugnant to the Constitution as shall be lor the good of the commonwealth and i its citizens; that intemperance is a great evil, and the fruitful source of poverty and crime, and that the Act is a Constitu? tional exeroise of this power, inasmuch as ic is but another method for the regu? lation of the evil. Now let us see wheth? er the Socialists may not demand an ex? ercise of this police power upon precisely the same grounds to accomplish their views. They believe in the abrogation of the institution of property, that it should all belong to the State, which should fur? nish employment to its citizens and reg? ulate their pay. And it is a plank in the Peoples' Party platform,according to my notes, that "the land, including all the natural sources of wealth, is the heritage of ail the people" ; and Qen. Field, who was a candidate with Gen. Weaver for the Presidency and Vice Presidency on this platform, is reported to have said in a speech at Atlanta that he wanted to see the day come when the land will belong to all the people. This is the doctrine of Mr. Henry George, who denounces the individual ownership of land as robbery. He says that it is tho evil which under? lies all out social and political discontent ?that it has caused those monstrous in? equalities in the distribution of wealth so much complained of, and that it is the fruitful souroe of all the pauperism and crime which everywhere exi^t. He maintains, with the insolence of injus? tice, that the State should confiscate it without compensation to the owner, by taxing it to the full extent of its rental value, and that by letting it out to the highest bidder the State wonld raise a revenue which would make it possible for it to assume tho running of railroads, telegraphs and other businesses, which being monopolies cannot be safely left in the hands of private individuals or cor? porations, and to show what he thinks are proper functions of government, I will quote his language; "The govern? ment would thus gradually become the administrative agent of the great corpo? rative association?society." He and his numerous followers may insist that they present a case precisely similar, and de? mand an exercise of this police power on the very same grounds to remedy the evils of which they complain. Does any man in bis right senses suppose that the framera ot our republican Constitutions ever thought of conferring on our govern? ments?State or Federal?any such pow? ers? and yet this literature is being scat? tered broadcast over the land, in blue and gilt, and is making converts to these doc? trines among well-meaning people, who donot appreciate the fact that in em bracing them they must of necessity decide whether they prefer the government of the Socialist or the one they have, for they cannot co-exist. Such doctrines in? corporated into the fundamental law of any State would raise (be question wheth? er it would not be the duty of Congress to interfere and set it aside, under that clause of the Federal Constitution which makes it the duty of the United States to guarantee every State in the Union a re? publican form of government. Such doctrines are revolutionary, and I be? lieve that our people, when they under? stand them, will repudiate them. I know of nothing more important to the interests of our people than a Judi? ciary composed of men distinguished for their ability and integrity, and it is equally important that they should be free to decide all matters brought before them according to their best Judgment. Our government has been said to be one of checks and balances, and it was made eo to protect the liberties of the people. The important duty of declaring an Act of j the law-making power unconstitutional has been devolved on the Courts, but when a Judge on the Bench, under the j solemn sanction of an oath, to administer justice according to his beat judgment, is given to understand that his tenure of office depends, not upon a conscientious discbarge of duty according to his convic? tions, but upon his willingness to conform his decisions to popular opinion, what becomes of that independence of the judiciary, so necessary to enable it to perform its proper functions under our form of government. The Judge is placed upon the bed of Procrustes ? If he fits it well and good?if he is too long he must be cut off to suit; it he is too short he must be mado long enough by stretching him with pulleys and ropes. Whenever subserviency to party is made a condition of the tenure of office, and especially on the Bench, then the post of honor is a {>rivate station. There is no use of treat ng lightly the opinion of Judge Hudson on any question. He is a Judge of acknowledged integrity and ability, and ls,~ in my humble opinion, without a superior on the Circuit or Supremo Court Bench of tho State. He has had the courage to decide according to his convic? tions at the risk of his official position, and in doing bo has furnished the highest evidence that he is a man to be trusted and whether he is to be victimized for doing so, remains to be seen. A. T. Broyles. 1 n, KM SON'S TROUBLES. A K iil, Frtitik and Clear Statement of the Acta, Greenville News, July 23. The following communication was re? ceived here yesterday in reply to a tele? gram of enquiry sent to Clemson college Friday evening regarding the reports of trouble among the cadets: Fort Hill,S. C, July 22,1S93 : Bear Sir: Your telegram asking for fact) in regard to rumored trouble here, was promptly answered. For having first inquired of us iu regard to tbe mat? ter, I desire on the part of the faculty to thunk you. The people have a right to knew what is going on at Clemson and I trurt the day may uever come whon the college shall strive to conceal from the publio the real state of affairs here. We invite investigation. At tbe outset, I am compelled to state that it was the unanimous opinion of those competent to judge, that the college is moving on far more smoothly than even ber most ardent admirers an? ticipated. Many ncembers of the board thought that; it would require at least six weeks to classify students. By almost marvellous insight the faculty were enabled to classify students within one week. To those informed in educa? tional matters this will seem simply in? credible. There has been trouble here, we must admit, but it is just that which any sen? sible man would expect. Tbe first trouble happened at our laun? dry. The board bad selected, as they thought, a young man capable of mana? ging it. They sent him to Atlanta, pay? ing his expenses for six weeks that he misfit learn the business thoroughly. After graduating in an Atlanta laundry, he returned to Clemson at our opening to tak a charge. After a few days, I found thai he was utterly incompetent. The represetative of tbe board, Alan Jobn stone, sent to Atlanta for an expert. He came, but only to condemn the machin? ery, declaring that the board had been fleeced by a rascal. As some of the boys were needing a change of clothing, I hired some uegro women and put them to work. We took every possible pre? caution to have clothes marked bo as to prevent any possible confusion, yet, in spile of all our effort, it is probable that we may not'be able to straighten out in an entirely satisfactory manner last weok's washing. We still hope to be able to do this, as our laundry is now in charge of Mr. Tbackston, who for the pas;; two years has managed so success? fully tbe Spartanburg steam laundry. We intend to make the Clemson laundry equal to any in tbe State. The foundry is novr working smoothly. Our next trouble occurred in the dor? mitory. Monday morning a week ago some fifteen students stopped me on my way to college. They said that they must go home, that fly blown meat had been put on tbe table Sunday. I was satisfied the boys were telling facts and quitted them for the timo being as best I icould. At our morning exercises in memorial hall I showed tbe boys how difficult it would be to manage such an imtlonse dining hall without some se? rious trouble at first. The boys were satisfied, all but one young man, who declared to the faoulty that if he were not permitted to go home, be would go anyhow. It is needless to say that the young man was sent off at once. This same young man went home and spread? ing the report tbat things were going wrong at Clemson, caused one of our patrons in that community to telegraph for his son. Two other young men, too ignurant to enter even our lowest classes, declared that' they could not stand our fare and woro, therefore, permitted to re? turn home. Knowing how impulsive South Carolina boys are, I went to tbe dormitory, taking my own meals with the ooys until I was satis tied everything was moving on smoothly. On last Sun? day, however, some spolied meat was one ) more found on tbe table. I knew that the matter must be mot at once. At our morning exercises I told tbe boys tbat I had no excuse to make for the spoiled meat; that a mammoth refriger? ator had been ordered - and when tbat came they would certainly have nice mil;: and meat and butter; that if I ever was determined about anything in this world it was that the boarding depart? ment should be a success. I toldihem that one trouble came from the fact that they had Negro waiters who were not careful of the kind of food they brought on the table; tbat I saw no disgrace in Son :h Carolina boys waiting on South Carolina boys ; tbat if they themselves waiied upon tbe table they could then report to tbe bursar whatever was going wrong. I asked those who were willing to ti ke their turn at waiting on the table to raise their bands. In tbe twinkling of an eye three hundred hai.ds went up I It is needless to say tbat everything is moving on smoothly at the Dormitory. There are about thirty tables in tbe din? ing room and one boy is to serve each table. The boys are paid for this, as weU as for other work at the rate of 8 cenls per hour. B. R. Till man, Jr., is am eng the first set of "waiters." It these factit are not indications of the dawning of a new era in South Carolina, then I can? not read tbe signs of tbe times. We have here 200 boys who are willing to do any kind of work to secure au education. Thin, too, means something. Now, Mr. Edicorj a word to tho public. We have here here some two or three boys who wer 3 dissatisfied because they could not study Latin or Greek here. If you wish you;* son to study the ancient languages do not send him to Clemson, One boy was displeased because he did not like the military drill. The military feature we are compelled to maintain here, and if you do not like it do not send your b >y to Clemson college. Sc me boys do not like our work feature ?perhaps a good many?and hence are dissatisfied. If you are not willing for your boy to do manual labor do not send him to Clemson. A few boys were dissatisfied because they did not like our fare. If you are not willing for your boy to have such fare as can be provided for ?7 per month do r ot send him to Clemson, Our dormitory is as weil equipped as any hotel in this State, having electric lights in every room, and bath rooms and wat)r closets on every floor, but for 87 a month we can furnish only plain fare, and if you haven't sense enough to know this, do not send your son to Clemson. Oace more; tv? o or three boys were dissatisfied because their parents told them, "If you don't like it at Clemson con e right home." If that is the way you talk to your boy we do not waut him, This )s not a school for spoiled children, 0 ice for all, this is not a reformatory school. If your boy is n :orrigibly bad do not send him here, for, in all probability, you will be requested to take him home. If you cannot raise at least 850 do not send your boy to Clemson. He must pay 833.75 to enter here; ?7 for first month's board; $2.60. for medical fee for five months | $23,75 for uniforms which ought to last lor one year at least; 50 cenls for month's washing, in all 833.75 whioh amount the student must have to enter here. If ho bo industrious and willing to do any kind of work, it will be f)ostible for him to work two hoars dai y a:. 8 cents per hour, thus enabling him to bring his board down to about 83 a moiith. He may do even better than this, but tho probability is against it. If you have no money, do not come to Clomson, but go to work and make at least. ?50, and we will do what we can for you, I havo no faith in a boy who wish? es an education and yet is not willing to wor-c for it. 1 would like to say more, but I must basten on. There have been a few dis eonteptB here?in all not more tban fif? teen?not half so many as 1 expected. It is not surprising that our educational net, while gathering in hundreds of fish? es, ?hould find entangled within its folds a few mud-turtles, tadpoles, igno? ramuses and fools, The oojlcge Is des? tined to play an important part in the history of the State and hopes to win the support of good people, Ji, B. cuaiohead. "Whereas, the certain false reports oal oula'ied to produco wrong impressions concerning the managemont of our Col? lege have been circulated by the Green? ville News of July 22nu inst.; and whereas we consider it of the gravest im? portance that these reports be denied, therefore be it "Kcsolved, 1st.

Latjrens, July 20.?A matter is now under consideration here and in New York which will be of special interest to the farmers of tho Piedmont. It is per? haps not generally known that great efforts have been made and much money spent on tho cultivation of the sugar beet in the United States. In California and Nebraska the experiments have been successful; that is, that factories in those two States are now in operation, beet sugar being produced there at paying prices. Efforts were also made some years ago in various parts of Canada with the same object in view but the result was a failure. The people of the Piedmont know that an impulse was given to the cultivation of the wine grape in this section by the discovery that the climate, conditions and soil were the same here as in the best grape producing regions of Franco. Most people who read geography also know that the beet industry is one of the largest and most profitable in France. It was perhaps the putting of these facts together that induced an investigation now in progress into the merits of the Piedmont as a beet producer. Some days ago the accredited agent of a New York" syndicate paid a visit to Sena? tor Irby. The people In this syndicate have undertaken to establish five beet factories in various parts of the South. The agent of the capitalists who has a practical knowledge of the subject in all its bearings, has already made sufficient examinations in Florida. Reports, analy? ses of soil, were made from this sec? tion some time ago. Future examina? tions are to be made in Tennessee and Mississippi ard oue other State. The agent of the capitalists was directed by them to oome here and endeavor to interest Senator Irby, in a general way, in the undertaking. He called on Sena? tor Irby last night and sketched to him the intention, capabilities and earnestness of bis moneyed principals. In brief, the object of the company is to make success? ful in South Carolina an industry which has proved eminently so in. sections which are not as naturally adapted to beet culture as our semi-tropical land. The establishment of the factory is of course dependent upon the success of a beet crop or the success of a sufficient number of experiments to show that beets can be grown here in the way desired. In South Carolina the natural conditions are granted to be what they should be. In Nebraska they raise ten tons to the acre, in California sixteen tons to the acre. South Carolina can at least do as well as California. It has been determined by experience that it will pay to raise beets for sugar if the produc? tion per acre is as much as eight tons. In Nebraska the producers of the raw material and the factory people make money notwithstanding that labor is scarce and dear. The agent after explaining the matter thoroughly said that he was authorized to make Senator Irby a proposition. The capitalists desire his co-operation but that he shall make no promises or give no advice to the farmers of this section or State until after he shall have seen the beet plantations of the West, investigated the cost of production, net result to the farmer, etc. They desire that he shall report the result of his observations, if desired, through the newspapers of the State. j The company has tendered him for this purpose a trip to California and Nebraska, and also to Canada if he wishes to be informed on the ground of the causes of failure there. They wished him to set out at once, but it being out of the ques? tion now Senator Irby accepted the ten? der for September, and he will in all probability leave Washington for the West about the first of that month. He said to-day that he would make thorough examination into all that had been stated by the agent with reference to the indus? try and would offer his suggestions and advice only after he had been thoroughly informed on the subject. Something more on this interesting subject will be given in a few days.?Greenville News. News Paragraphs. ? An impecunious debtor in Mecklen? burg, N.

Lively Times in Laurens. Laurens, S. C- July 20.?Rumor has it that, during last week, Senator Irby <and Congressman Shell met at the house of Col. J. D. M. Shaw, of Governor Tin? man's personal staff. In an altercation commencing about the "Craddock" and Farley letter, blows were ex? changed. The particulars I have failed to get. LAunENS, July 22?The Irby-Shell incident was an accidental meeting at Col. J. D. M. Shaw's residence. Sen? ator Irby asked Congressman Shell if be saw the Farley letter before publication. Shell said he did. Irby then asked him if he endorsed it. Shell responded that he did, in part. Whereupon Irby struck Shell, who was seated,, overturning him and the chair. Irby drew a knife and Shell picked up a chair. Parties inter? posed aud the incident closed. A gentleman who arrived in Colum? bia yesterday from Laurens tells a story of tue Irby-Shell encouuter, which ho claims to havo secured from interested parties. It is merely given for what it is worth, the Stale having no means of in? vestigating it further. He says that on the night before the difficulty Shaw sent to Congressman Shell's house, and told him to come to see him?that he wanted to see him on a very important matter. Ic was very dark, and Congressman Shell, being somewhat suspicious, did not go, but waited till after daylight, and then went. After be had been there a little while, Irby came in. Sbaw, in admitting Irby, went out himself. Irby at once asked Shell if Farley had shown him his article bofore it was published. Shell told him that Gen. Farley had done so. Irby then asked him if he approved of it. Shell re? plied that he approved of that portion that referred to what "Craddock" had written. Irby, so the story goes, then hit Shell, and drew a dirk, making for the Congressman. 0. C. Cunningham, who was present, drew a pistol and pointing it at Irby, told bim that if he advanced he would have to fire. The relator states also that Congress? man Shell considers that he owes his lire to Cunningham. He states also that Shell's friends believe that it was an at? tempt to assassinate Shell. As stated above, this story is merely given as it is related, and its correctness is not vouched for. ? Mrs. Rodney, who is attempting to walk from Galveston to the World's Fair reached St. Louis on Friday ahead of the schedule time. She is confident of ac? complishing the allotted task. ? Martin Molilep, of Topeka, Kan., says that the corn crop this year will be the largest in the history of Kansas, with tho exception of 1889, when 273,000,000 bushels were harvested.

Gresham will go down to history as the first mem? ber of tho Cabinet who became acting President in consequence of the inability of both the President and Vice President.

Mr. Cleveland was on board the yacht One id a, sailing out to find deep sea fishing oil' the coast of Massachusetts.
