The free list is of that pe sufficient to-satxsfy the most vacates of drastio reform, and repudiation of the principle of recip? rocity is decisive and emphatic. The following summary of the bill has been prepared by Representative Bryan, of Nebraska, who is a member of the Committee: Th? bill just completed puts wool, coal, lumber, salt and iron ore on the free list 'uces the tariff on sugar from one one-quarter of a cent, per pound, provides for extermination of the ?by degrees. As a rule, the tariff been made lowest upon the cheaper s of necessary use and left highest pon more exepnsi ve articles. The wool schedule will perhaps attract most atten? tion. We have left no duty higher than 45 per cent, on manufactures of wool and that only on ready made garments aver? aging less than 40 per cent. The cheaper quality of blankets and flannels are only taxed 25 per cent, and the lower grades of carpets only 20. We have also applied gradual reduction to the woolen sched? ule so that if/the end of Uvb years the ghestdjty wlU be 40 and the average ear 30 per'-ient. Verv material red ac? tions have been made in the cotton schedules. We have placed iron ore on .the free list and made a large cut all along the metal schedule. The duty on steal raiis is reduced more than 50 per cent. Free lumber wUl be a great beoe - fit to the people of the prairie States and j| free salt will give to those who need Bait . for their cattle or for caring meat the same advantages which have been secur? ed heretofore by means of a rebate to those who cured fish. Agricultural im Element") have been placed upon the free st in order to enable the farmer to bet i' ter compete injbxeiga markets and be vt-oause many ofour agricultural imple? ments are being made cheaper abroad than at homo. - Among tbe> principal additions to the free list are the following : Bacon and |!jStf?^--beef, mutton, pork and meats of . all kinds not specially provided for in ^ this act.

On Wednesday of last week, accompa? nied by over sixty members of Camp Benson, United Veterans, vre boarded the train for Augosta to be present at the Confederate re-union and take a look at the Exposition. We arrived in the olty at half-past nine o'clock, and were mot at the depot by a committee of old vete? rans and a brass band, marched to the Confederate monument on Broad street, where a speech of welcome"was made, after which the Camp dispersed to seen re lodging for the night. On Thursday morning, bright and ear? ly, tbe>ld soldiers could be seen stand? ing in groups, talking about events which took place thirty years ago, and of times which tried the souls of men. Listening to the many stories told, one thing struck us as very peculiar, and that was that the old soldiers seamed to have forgotten all tbe dangers and hardships of the war, and loved to dwell on the humorous side. At ten o'clock the veterans assembled at Masonic Hall and boarded the electric cars for the Exposition grounds. Ar? riving there they were marched into the building and seated, being greeted by shouts and huzzas from thousands of vis? itors who had pieceded them. After some speech-making the veterans were dismissed for the day, and dispersed in every direction to see Augusta's great show. It is estimated tbat over 3,000 old soldiers participated in the re-union. On Friday Gen. Wade Hampton ar? rived in Augusta, but it was not gene? rally known that he would be present, and for this reason a great many of his friends failed to meet him at the depot. We did not know that he was in the city until after his reception at the Exposi? tion. We think this part of tbe pro? gramme was badly managed by the com? mittee in charge, who should have made greater efforts to have his presence made known. We copy below :he Associated Press' account of Gen. Hampton's recep? tion : . ? \ "The feature of the last day of the Confederate Veterans' reunion at the Au? gusta Exposition was the arrival of ex Senator Wade Hampton upon the scene. It was an unexpected event, but furnish? ed a happy occasion for a climax of en? thusiasm that was touchingly sublime. The day was a veritable love-feast for the veterans, who were here by thousands from everywhere. 'Cannon boomed in honor of the hero of Carolina, and old soldiers wept with emotion when Gen. Hampton and Gen. Evans marched side by side up to the stage in music hall. They were greeted by prolonged shouts that were as lasting as they were vehe? ment. Gen, Hampton was introduced by Gen. Evans.. He spoke briefly, but most feelingly. He paid a lofty tribute to the heroes of Georgia, but took no oc? casion to refer to his retirement from tbe Senate by the Legislature of South Caro? lina." 'The good people of Augusta, and espe? cially the ladies, did everything possible to make our visit pleasant, and their kindness will never be lorgotten by the old soldiers. The re-union was a glori? ous Buccesa. And now a word as to the Exposition It is a good show, and well worth t ho time* and money expended in seeing it. We spent the greater part of two days on the grounds, and kept moving pretty much all the time, and are surprised to hear people talking of seeing things we never saw. The fireworks at night were grand, at least to a countryman. We ? took in but one of the side-shows, and it was such a grand humbug that we were disgusted. The others may have been better. The prettiest sight we saw at the Exposition was the insulated woman. An insulated suit of clothes was put upon her made of wire, and the electricity from a dynamo turned on. At one moment a necklace of diamonds appeared, at an? other diamond ear-rings, another a wreath of diamonds, and so on. It may -have been entirely harmless, but money could not have hired us to put on tbat suit. This is a part of the Exposition, and is free to all. The people of Augusta are acting sen? sibly. There is no extortion. The rates for lodging remain the same as before tbe Exposition began. You can live at a good, boarding-house for 91.50 per day, or 'you can pay fifty cents for a bed and eat where you please. Restaurant rates are moderate. You can get a lunch on the Exposition grounds for a quarter. It need not cost much. Go and see it. At noon to-morrow tbe General Assem I bly of South Carolina will convene in an? nual session?a session that will be of more than the usual duration and exceed? ingly interesting. Yesterday the members of the two houses began to come in by every train and tbe hotel lobbies are beginning, to look very lively. Speaker Jones and Lieut.-Governor Gary, tbe presiding offi? cers of tbe two houses, are here, and the sergeant-at-arms of both tbe Senate and House, are also present, as are the clerks. Circulation Expert Kodgers is also here. A good many of tbe members are stop? ping at private boarding houses. To-day tbe big majority of the members will come in and it will be lively about the various offices in the Capitol. The session begins this year about u week 'later than usual, and inasmuch an there is so much more legislation to bo attended to this year than has been known for a good many sessions, it is predicted that tbe body will come back after Christ? mas for a week or more. Of course the principal thing to engage the attention of the Legislature is tbe dis? pensary law, and the many patches that will have to be given it if it Is to be con? tinued. In this connection it is well to say that, a great many surprises are in store not only for tbe liquor men but for che advocates of the dispensary sys? tem. It is ascertained that tbe election of the five judges will come up early in the session?probably the first of next week. The terms of Associate Justice McGowan and Judges Hudson, Witherspoon, Izlar, and Wallace expire at the present term. A man of prominence in the re? form movement, yesterday said that all the old fudges would likely pass the board with, perhaps, the exception of Judge Iz? lar. His idea is that tbe reform members will hold a caucus and agree upon the men they would vote for. He says it is pretty well settled that by a strict party vote Eugene Gary will be elected to suc? ceed Justice McGowan; Townsend to succeed Judge Wallace; R. C. Watts to succeed Judge Hudson ; and Ira B. Jone? to succeed Judge Witherspoon. He says Ira B. Jones' chance to succeed Justice McGowan has disappeared. He does not think that W. C. Benet will have any chance against Judge Izlar. If Maj. Townsend is elected to succeed Jndge Wallace, Assistant Attorney-Gen? eral Buchanan will be elevated to the va? cant Attorney-Generalship without oppo? sition.? Columbia State, Nov. 20. ? Col. James B. Simpson, of Dallas, Texas, is in jail on nine indictments for embezzling $50,000 from tbe Scottish American Mortgage Company. ' ? The dispensary law has been kicked and cuffed around the State to an extent that no other law on tbe statute books has ever undergone, and it has been fought vigorously by the liquor element at every step. Liquor dealers cutslde of the State are taking a hand in tbe war against the dispensary, and from a recent circular issued by a liquor house in Louisville, Ky., it is apparent that the law is put at defiance by the firm. Tho folllowing extracts are made from the circular, which is a shameless reflection upon the authorities of our State: "Whiskies are delivered at our risk in any part of South Carolina. We keep no accounts with the consumer, as our busi? ness is to soli directly to the dealer. We are making an exception of the people of South Carolina merely to give them an opportunity to compare first class, high grade Kentucky whiskey with the suff tnat Governor Tillman is trying to force them to buy. Our first circular was tbe means of bringing hundreds of orders to us from the citizens of your State. We intend to-give everybody an opportunity to by whiskey from first hands at whole? sale prices until the Governor of South Carolina concludes to discontinue the sa? loon business," A Judicial Sweep.

Miss Lillie Bigby has resumed ber school, and we congratulate the Welcome people in keepiog her. She is one of our foremost teachers, and we wish her a large attendance. Miss Roy Nance has been installed In the Tuckerville chair, and we know she will make a good and efficient teacher. Miss Nance has had several years experi? ence in the school room, and knows just how to manage bad boys like ourselves. We would hunt up our books and begin right away if we did not have to atay at home and "tend" to the mail. Yesterday was Sam's unlucky day. Our folks scoured, and they pressed us into service. Just about day break, when we were peacefully lying in the embrace of old Morpheus, we suddenly beard our mother calling up the rickety stairs, "Sammy, Sammy! do get up, we have got lots to do to-day and we want you to help us " We turned over and was juut scoring away when that melodious voice came np the stairway this time sharper than before: "Sam, I don't want to come np there to you, but if you don't in med!, ately get up I'll come up to you with a switch." We doggedly obeyed the sum ..u6. When we had presented onrself, w rfceiv?-.! ;ue orders to go over tn*Mr>. Vv'iggins' and borrow bur mop. "Fur," b iia mother, "run, Simmy, and be quirk, you know our mop hasn't got any Fhuck* in it" And sister chimed in, "yes, do be quick, it will just be a nice tramp for a fifteen-year-old boy." Nice tramp! Well, I would say no. Just think of inking a mile and a halt tramp on a cold, frosty morniog, with the wind whistliug in your eara and you will have our feeliDgs exact? ly. When we arrived at our destination we found the boys engaged in pulling "sorghum candy." Now, we love "can dv" better th^.n anything else, bo at tbe Wiggins boys' invitation we dived into the pulling with a heartiness so character? istic of the average boy. In fooling with the "candy" we forgot all about our rou slon until it was about 9 o'clock, when we suddenly thongbt of it, and when we re? ceived the mop we struck for home in a trot. We found mother awaiting our ar? rival with a shingle concealed under her apron. When the angry passion gathering in my mother's face I see, And Bhe leads me to the bed room? genly lays me on her knee, Then I snow* that I'll catch it, and my flesh in fancy itche.*, As I listen to tbe patter of the shingle on my breeches. Every tinkle of the shingle has an echo and a sting. And a thousand burning fancies into ac? tive beim; spring, And a thousand bees and hornets beneath my coat tail seem to swarm, As I listen to the patter of the shingle, oh ! so warm. In a Budden intermission, which appears ray only chance, l8ay: "Strike gently, mother, or you'll split my Sunday pants ;" Bhe stops a moment, draws her breath, tbe sbingie holds aloft, And frays: "I bad not thought of that, ray son, just take them off." In addition to that we turned the pot of hot water over on our feet, scalding them very badly. Sister scolded us for being bo careless. If girls had to do what boys does, they would be careless, too. But that is not ai). When we mounted our donkey to ride him to water, be suddenly elevated his bind logs and we found our? selves in mid air, where, after performing a few acrobatics feats, landed gracefully on our head. If any lady bad went through with what we had, we expect they would bo cross, too. Sam Dewbebby. The Anderson County Poultry Show.

Spabtanbubg, S. ft, Nov. 21.?There was one of tbe old time battles near Campobello Monday, reminding one of the days when human life was cheap and whiskey plenty. Last week Henry Fisher and a young man named John? son, acting as United States marshals or whiskey spies for the State, attempted to arrest Wm. H. Paris, who bad some li? quor in his wagon. He resisted and prevented tbe arrest. Monday tbey met about three miles from Campobello at Tom Bum's sale. After tbey bad scowled at each other awhile and filled up with the cup that makes people dan? gerous and desperate tbe quarrel was renewed. The shooting soon began. Wm. H. Paris and Henry Fisher were instantly killed, Three others, names not ascertained, were dangerously woun? ded. The coroner went there yesterday afternoon or this morning. The evi? dence goes to show tbat Tom Calmes shot Paris. It is not known who shot Fisher and the others. It is the most bloody battle we have had in this county in many days. Up to 2 p.m. Sheriff Dean had no warrants placed in his hands.?SpaHanburg correspondent Greenville News. ANOTHEB ApOOUNT. A gentleman came to Greenville yes. terday from Gownesville, which is a mile and a half from the scene of tbe Fisher-Paris killing. He attended the sale at the Barnes place but left before shooting occurred. He says about a hundred men were present and about fifty of them were drunk, whiskey being stored in a neighboring stable and sold freely and openly. There was much dis? order before he left and one man had been locked In a stable to prevent trou? ble and had kicked his way out. Tom Calmes, who is said to have shot Fisher or Paris or both men, returned to his home near Gowensville and slept there Monday night. Fisher's body was not found until nearly dark. After the shooting was over he was inquired f?r and at last somebody found him in the kitchen lying in a chimney corner dead with a bullet through his breast. It bad struck the top button of his waist? coat. Paris' son, a boy of fourteen, wcs bad? ly cut in tbe breast and his condition at last accounts was critical. A telegram was received here last night from Lee Fisher at Tryon, N. ft, saying that a reward will be paid for the arrest of Calmes, who is described as 23 years old, with fresh complexion, red moustache, loot; nose, red at the end, good looking and neatly dressed and weighing 140 pounds. His father is an old resident of the Gownesville section and Is widely known in the State having once been a prominent and wealthy resi? dent of Newberry and a man noted for his attainments and convivial qualities. Fisher is thought to have been a cousin of Jack, John and Lee Fisher who are well known here.?Orcenville News. Will Fight to tbe End. Tbe prohibitionists of the State have been very quiet in th-j last few months, but it is still water?in this case it might be said "cold water"?that runs deep, They have by no means relinquished their fight for total abstinence and they are going to resume their fight with the opening of the Legislature or the coming campaign. A representative of the State had a long talk with one of the prohibition leaders yesterday, and his remarks indicate tbat the prohibitionists are as anxious, to continue their fight as they were to bogin it. He Baid : "Ye9, we are going to fight, but no definite plan ol campaign is yet arranged. That will depend in great measure upon the nature of Governor Till man's message to the General Assem? bly upon the Dispensary problem. It is beginning tc appear to all that the Stato has an elephant on its hands in the Dis? pensary law, and does not know what to do with it. I do know this, however? we started this fight to carry it through to the bitter ond, and wo intend to push the cause of prohibition for all it is worth. We will take advantage of every oppor? tunity tbat offers itself to push the causo of total prohibition or endeavor to secure something better if that be possible. Tho fight is going to bo a never-ending, relentless one, and we hone in the long run to win and forever abolish the traffic in iiquor in this Stato. After tho Gover? nor's message appoars and tho General Assembly meets I will be able to say exactly what we propose to do."?Colum? bia Slate. ?

Beaufort, S. C, Nov. 23?The dis? pensary Jaw liiis raised considerable of a row bore, and the iniquitous Swan has gone off with a badly bunged.eyo and a bleeding nasal organ. The row occurred on Tuesday night. It seems that Swan and Strobel, two of the whiskey spies, had boarded the steamer Alpha from Savannah, for the purpose of seizing a barrel of whiskey. The negroes in town got wind of the fact, and crowded to the wharf on the arrival of the Alpha, presumable to see the fun. By this time the steamer had been moored to the dock. The crowd had be? come hilarious. The town authorities and police were powerless to prevent the surging crowd from reaching the dock, nd by the time the goods were being landed there must have been, from all accounts, three or four hundred negroes, who had forced their way, and who com? menced to guy and to abuse the con? stabulary and to put obstacles in the way of getting the object of their search away. It turned out to be a barrel of beer, instead of whiskey, as described in the warrant. The constables had a bard time getting the barrel rolled from the steamer up to the street, where tbey endeavored to hire a wagon to take it to some designated place. They offered to pay 510 to some of the howling mob to assist in rolling it away. This was indignantly declined, with curses and abuse by the mob of men, half grown boys and wenches, who even kicked and cuffed the constables having charge of the barrel between tbem. From $25 to $100 was jeeringly demanded by the hackmen for a wagon. Finally, when gotten near the street, a brickbat or some other missile was hurled, and struck Constable Swan over the right eye, breaking his nose and in? flicting a terrible cut in the eye, which bled profusely. He was knocked al? most senseless, and staggered with pain. During the whole progress.of their at? tempt to get the barrel secured, I be spies were pelted with rotten eggs and other objectionable missiles. The barrel was placed in the hands of the sheriff and given to two negro men to be carried to the jail, as be could not hire a wagon for love or money. During their transportation of the bar? rel along the streets they let it drop, and thr. contents rolled out, and some smashed, and then such a scramble com? menced that all that was left of the con? tents when it reached the jail was six bottles. Swan and Strobel left town on the train Wednesday morning for Charles? ton.?Special to the State. ? It has bee calculated that eight hun? dred shots were fired for every man wounded during the civil war. ? W. B. Meetze, the man who defied arrest by the Governor of South Carolina at the State fair in Columbia last week, is in the city. A Herald representa? tive had a talk with Mr. Meetze this morning. Mr. Meetze is in the city on a pleasure trip, and will take in the expo? sition before returning home. It is in? teresting to hear him tell how the people everywhere seek an introduction to him in order to shake the hand ot the man who got the best of "Ben" Tillman. He says he has received numerous invita? tions from political enemios of the gov? ernor from all over the Stale to come and spend all the winter with them and it will cost him nothing."?Augusta Her? ald. ? As ordered by that terrible man Gov. B. R. Tillman, "more terrible than an army with banners," Solicitor Nelson gave to the Grand Jury a bill of indict? ment against Dr. Thomas E. Jennings, of Modoc, and Dr. D. A. J. Bell, of Parksville, charging them with outrag? ing the provisions of law in regard to Miss Gulledge being taken to the Luna i tic ?Bylum. The Grand Jury promptly threw the bill out as unworthy of con? sideration. Thus have our friends, Jen? nings and Bell, been mercifully deliver? ed from the jaws of the lion. Faithful, .brave and guiltless, they have come forth, like Shadrach, Mosbach and Abed nego, untouched. And Nebuchadnezzar, you remember, was finally hurled from bis throne and sent out to grass.?Edge field Chronicle. A Million Friends.

Nov 15,1893 20 2 ST. REGIS INDIAN BASKETS! Mr. Editor : The St. Regis tribe of Indians are located on a Reserva? tion of14,000 acres in "Western Kansas. The tribe numbers 2,100 souls, inclu? ding bucks, squaws and papoose. They still adhere to their own language, few of them being able to speak English. They, like the red men in general, never want to be civilized enough to do much hard work. That is one of the accomplishments ef the pale-face that they regard as unfit for warriors, and should only be tolerated when per? formed by squaws. During the hunt? ing and fishing season the bucks are. seldom found at home, as they had rather hunt a deer ten hours a day for a week than hoe a half acre of corn. This rambling life, spent on rip? pling streams, mirror lakes and virgin forests, studying the beautiful foliage, the exquisite colorings of the forest leaves, the lovely hues of the prairie flowers, and their natural blending and sh ad i ng to produce brilliant and showy effects. These dreamy hours, spent in studying nature, has developed a very keen conception of the artistic blend? ing of colors, so as to produce most gorgeous results. For centuries past they have studied the making of bril? liant and delicate colored dyes, until at last they have acquired such skill that they can dye strips of wood that cannot be distinguished from the finest colored ribbons. These strips of' ash are then heated, so that the colors will be "fast," when they are wound in and out in the most beautiful styles of Bas? kets, and when finished they represents a picture of color-blending unequalled in a studio. ? <; I N F B D A A INDIANS FANCY BASKETS.
