G. H. Bnrt?n, Inspector General of the United States Army, on the South Carolina Citadel Academy, iu very complimentary to that Institution. He says: "It is so superior in all its methods, scope, appointments and its distinctive military features that v it must be cJaaaod among, and can only be compared to our National Military Academy. In the set up, military bear? ing, cohesion and drill off ?11 hinds in the infantry tactics this battalion equals any organization in the army, and is but little short of that superb excellence gen? erally believed to be possessed: by the na? tional cadets. m*~'* mm GoV. Tillman has issued his proclama? tion declaring that on August 1st the dispensaries would be re-opened, and that the reinforcement of the suspended Act of 1893, xhioh it is generally conced? ed was declared unconstitutional by the Supreme Court, would bo enforced more rigidly than ever. This action is unpre? cedented in the history of any civilized government in the world, and we do not believe the supporters of Governor Till? man will uphold him in it. It is an exceedingly unfortunate step, and will only tend to widen the breach that al? ready exists among the white people of South Carolina. While this section Is undoubtedly feel the effects of the so-called "bard ' yet it is but little more than the i rbance of the atmosphero at the edge of a cyclone as compared with certain other sections. At times we are inclined to bo discontented, and conclude that we live a very slow life, and long to be in the world where fortunes and names are made more rapidly, but in Just such crises are seen the extenuating features of our situation. We have no fear of strikes or shut-downs, and have but little else to do than to carefully and economically manage our affairs, what? ever they may be, and wait for the storm to pass. ___ A press dispatch from Houston, Texas, under dato of 22nd lnst, says: "Cotton picking in South Texas will begin In the morning. Already about fifty bales of new cotton in different sections have bean picked out -During the last forty eight hours splendid showers have fallen over a vast area of territory, doing Ira? ni 3 nse good to the crop. Cotton in gen? eral looks better than ever known in Texas, and a well posted authority pre? dicts a crop of two and a half million bales. Reports from 90 per cent of the ?fields are of the most flattering nature, und It is doubtful it the crop can be har ested unless the fall is open for picking until January." ? Bishop W. J. Gaines, of Atlanta, Ga., presiding Bishop of the Second Episcopal district of the African Metho? dist Episcopal Church, in a sermon at Baltimore last Sunday said: "I rejoice that we do not belong to any Coxey army, and that we do not strike nor raise any disturbance in the country. We are peaceful citizens. The colored labor of this country is tho b st this country can boast of. We are the reserve force of la bor, When the white man strikes we are called upon to fill his place. The country, will soon recognize onr worth. The heart of the colored man is with the American people, and he is always for peace and harmony. Of cource, we have some bad fellows amongst ui?but where is the race that has. not?'* BARELY MISSEI> IT. Tbe most Exciting Meeting of the Cum ?Special to Greenville News. Edqefield, S. 0., July 19? Nobody knows exactly what prevented tbe killing and wounding of many men here to-day. For ten minutes men stood with bands on pistols and with knives tightly clutch? ed ready to use those deadly weapons on each other. A hundred ladies were pres? ent, but they did not run and after tbe row was over, listened with commenda? ble composure to the end of Senator But? ler's speech. The trouble occurred during Senator Butler's speech, and was caused by tbe denunciatibn by Butler of a man who bad insulted bim by saying ?bat he had denied bis participation in the Hamburg riot at Washington. The story of the event is given below. Tillman was brusque in bis speech, end concluded by challenging Butler to pro? duce tbe proof that he (Tiliman) could not be found during tbe Hambarg riot. Tbe facts about this are also below. Tiliman had a majority of the crowd and was wildly greeted by bis adherents. Butler was given plenty of applause, too. After talking on different subjects some time, General Butler said that he endors? ed tbe noble sentiments of Mr. Tindal. He endorsed every word and believed 'that Tlndal's advice could be accepted by -every man of either faction. Tiliman, General Butler said, accused bim of rid? ing two horses, if he (Butler) was any judge, Tiliman was riding four. "But keeping in tbe middle of tbe road, anyhow," remarked Tiliman. - Butte:: "Yea, but allow yourself plenty of margin on each side." 4iHow much sugar has he put in your gourd?V asked Butler, of the audience. Voice: "How much have you put in there .during eighteen years in tbe Sen? ate?" (Cheers and counter cheers and applause.) Butler: "Just keep quiet now. I know I am hitting you in a soft place, but you ? must take lit" Butler jumped on Tili? man harder than he has for days, and ac? cused him of being stingy and penurious, j He charged Tiliman with not paying bis subscription to a reform paper. The ye'ls and applause . for Tiliman partially drowned Butler's voice, and the noise was terrific. When it was over Butler said that every time he hit Tiliman tbe Gover? nor's'supporters winced and tried to drown out his voice by cheering. . Butler said that be had been riding only one boras since 1876, and that horse was the deliverance of tbo hope of tbe people. He told what he did in 1876, and of his participation in tbe Hamburg riot. While he was speaking of tbe Hamburg riot H. H. Townes asked Butler if bis house had f not been burned by negroes because he took part in the riot. "Tee," answered Butler. Joe Atkin? son, a Tillmanlte, who was standing on the stand, to the right of Butler, said, "yes, butyoudenieditin Washington."" Butler turned like a panther, and quick as lightning said: "That is a lie?an infer? nal lie." i If he had stopped at this there might not have been any trouble at that time, but he repeated what he had said two or three times. Men began to surge toward the stand while Butler continued his de - nunciatlon. In an instant Charles Ham? mond jumped np on the stand, followed by H. H. Townes, eacb with, his band on the butt of a pistol in bis hip pocket. It was then that the desperate men of ' .both sides jumped upon the stand and those of less courage moved off. Ham? mond and Townes got behind Butler and TUlman's friends crowded around him. The-antagonists began to glare at each other and to talk in strong language to each other. Pistols were changed ^from one pocket to another to be convenient for quick use.' It wa3 a squally .time. . The excitement was beyond description. Atkinson did not move an inch from where he had. been standing. He was surrounded by excited, men. General Butler quickly recovered his wits and worked masterfully to cbeckthe riot which seemed imminent. Tiliman did likewise. Each appealed to the men of both sides to stop lowering. They begged those trying to get on the stand to stay off, and those who were already on to get off. Among some of the men to bO ready with their pistols were several known to have boon in thrilling affrays and noted for coolness and recklessness. The uproar continued for what appeared * to be ten minutes. During this time the hundreds of men who bad remained on the stand had gotten ready for action. 1 know'dt to be a /act that almost every man had singled out a target for his pis? tol and merely awaited the signal to turn loose. The excitement gradually subsi? ded, but was really never suppressed. ' Butler resumed his speech to try to get i the audience back In its former dlsposi-| tion. Ho gradually grew salty again, and there w ss another outbreak of cheering for Tiliman. Butler got mad again, and said there was an attempt to drown his voice with their braying. "Any common iackass," said he, vehemenently, "may )ray, but I do not propose to be stopped la free speech by c lot of blatant jackasses. ? I cannot be frightened. I have seen too much of real danger to be intimidated. Governor Tiliman ssys I am not in this race. He says be will beat me. I say if he will leave* odt bis rings and give a sep? arate box I will beat him three to one. I will beat bim three to one in Merl weth? er township, where both of ua live." Butler charged Tiliman with being a ring and cad ous nominee. He said it was charged that there is a ring controlling the gubernatorial race. Tiliman, he said, has not denied this charge. Turning to Tiliman Butler exclaimed: "I dare you? I dare yon to give me a primary. You will never do it because yon are afraid. Even rings won't save you." Butler attacked Tiliman for his denun? ciation of Cleveland. He took from his pocket the certificate relating to Tiliman at Hamburg. He said that he had not considered it a matter of much impor? tance and had not intended to refer to it again, but as Tiliman demanded it he would give it. Tbe certificate is as fol? lows: .'?This is to certify that at Hamburg, July, 1876, we, tbe undersigned, were present, and that B. R. Tiliman was not seen by any one of us when the fight be? gan. That we were in the thickest of it from start to finish, and if he had been there we would have seen him, and cer? tainly did not, after tbe firing began. (Signed.) "W. H. Hammond, T. H. Hammond. E. F. Strom, H. D. Strom, Jno. Ml HIghtowsr, G. W. Walker, Jas. B. McRle, Jno.. A. Butler." The reading of the certificate finished, Bulter sat down. The governor waited a few seconds and walked to the front. Sis eye was flashing and he read the follow? ing certificate, refuting the charges of the other: "South Carolina, Aiken County. "To all concerned: This is to certify that on the night of the Hamburg riot in 1876 we, the undersigned, were in the town of Hamburg from the beginning to the ending of said riot,-and that we know of our own knowledge that B. B. Tiliman was at said riot and that he, B. B. Tiliman, staved in said" town and did his whole duty until the ending of said riot." (Signed) Henry Getzen, L. W. Reese, J. O. Holder, W. H. H. Butler, J. C. Hammond, P. O. Thurman, L. D. Reese, G. W. Medlock, J. F. Atkins, S. B. Mays, T. A. Hays, J. A. Timmerman, S. W. Miller, W. F. Roper, J. C. Lanham, J. A. White, T. N; Timmerman, W. F. Dobey. As tbe governor read each name he asked tbe signers if they were not with him and they answered in the affirma? tive. Another row was expected at any minute during the reading of the certifi? cate, but it did not materialize. A large number of men who bad not signed the certificate shouted to Tiliman "Yes, you were there! Wo were with you and saw you." The Hamburg riot incident was wound up by tbe following from Gover? nor Tiliman, "If any man doubts that (referring to the certificate,) let him meet me on tbe public square." While Tiliman was reading ten or fifteen of bis friends surrounded him. A whirlwind of ap? plause followed bim aud a hundred of his admirers warmly shook his hands. Ellerbe and Evann had their usual sparring match. The speech of tbo day was by Tindal. Mr. Tindal said tbat there is a matter of personal independence confronting the reformers of the State, and it was proper that this subject should be brought up In this county, a county re? nowned for Independence In thought and action. The question was how to get a fair expression of the refbrmors of the State for Governor. He proceeded to say that under the plan adopted by the reform executive committee the people will not get an opportunity of expressing a fair, square opinion. To illustrate, ho said tbat he supposed there are 4,000 reformers voting in Edgefield County. If three of the candidates for governor should get 2,700 votes tbe last man would get tbe del? egation to the State reform convention. Mr. Tindal wanted to know if it was fair or just for the man who gets 1,300 votes to get the county. Tbat would not be an expression of the will of the majority and the minority man would get everything. He did not believe tbat tbe people wanted to be counted out or to lose their votes. The struggle of the last four years has I been for every man to have his vote counted. Was the plan to be operated tbe right one to get the votes counted 7 I "Now," he said, "I have a proposition to ! make to the people of this county, and through you to tbe people of tbe State. At each of the elub meetings let a tabula < ted statement of the vole for each candi > date be given aud lot this be sent to the county convention, and there tabulated, and let the delegates be elected in propor? tion to tbe vote or each of the candidates as given at the club primaries. This will warrant an honest expression of the opinion of the voters of the State." Another Sunday at Chaotanqaa, N. T. Editoes Intklligenceb : Another Sunday at Cbautauqua defines more dis? tinctly tbe religious and moral tone of tbe place. T e quiet lake is undisturbed, either by the whistle of engines or landing of boats, or tbe streets by tbe wheels of ve? hicles. It is, indeed, a religious and edu? cational community, bleeaed with tbe bast theologians and scholars. Dr. W. R. Harper, of Chicago University, gave ue a fine lecture on tbe first twelve chapters of Genesis, and by bis own invitation was made a target for bard questions. He an - awered them all readily aud acceptably ex? cept tbe last, "Do you believe in a per? sonal Devil?" He answered that, "It ia a hard question." This reminded me tbat in my childhood the theology of the colored people impressed me tbat bis Sa? tanic Majesty had great horns and other terrible appendages, with a great pitch? fork to toss the worst of tbe wicked where the fires burned hottest. Yesterday (Snnday) Bishop Kendrix, of Kansas City, Mo., preaohed an able ser? mon on "Work.'1 Tbe congregation numbered about three thonsand. The amphitheater will seat about five thou? sand. .Bithrp John H. Vincent, the rul lug spirit here, is a native of Tuacaiooaa, Ala., and a great Sunday School leader. Besides tbe attractiveness to tbe religious public, .the fine library here famishes a variety of the best reading matter, suited to tbe tastes of nearly all classes of read? ers. Every hour bare can.be made one of entertainment. Your correspondent found some military reports of his own, printed in tbe reoords of tbe war of tbe "Rebellion." Here we find students in colleges, male and female, in the capacity of waiters and maids, utilizing their leiaure time In pros? ecuting their studies, meanwhile making some money. It looks Btrauge to see your waiter, or the maid, with books of advanced learning, making themselves at home with scholars in tbe lecture room and library. Many of them are better ed? ucated than tbe guests on whom tbey wait. ? In tbe library we read up a little on our political history, and found it quite re? freshing. It shows tbat in tbe struggle for office and power, political excitement has run higher in our country than it does at present. Since we have survived it, as well as the Civil War, we need not de? spair of the Republic But not being a politician, it reminds me that it is a good place to close. "B." Chautaitqua, N. Y., July 19,1894. The Governor's Proclamation. Governor Tiliman promised in his campaign speeches a few days ago to re? open the dispensaries the first day of Au? gust. He has issued tbe following pre clam^Uon: State of South Carolina, Executive Chamber. Whereas, under the provisions of an Act "to prohibit the manufacture and sale of Intoxicating liquors as a beverage within the State except as herein provi? ded," approved December 24tb, 1892, tbe State assumed control of tbe legal liquor traffic in South Carolina, commencing July 1st, 1893 j And whereas, tbe said policy and pur? pose of the State to permit the sale of li? quor by and through the State's officers only was reaffirmed by an act approved December 23rd, 1893, entitled "an act to declrae the law in reference to and fur? ther regulate the use, sale, consumption, transportation and disposition of al? coholic liquids or liquors within the State of South Carolina and to police the same." And whereas, the Supreme Court of tbe State of South Carolina by a decision rendered the 10th of'April, 1894, declared the first act above mentioned unconsti? tutional except one section; tbe execu? tive, In obedience to what be conceived to bo the will of the Court, closed the dispensaries and discharged the constab? ulary. In a subsequent decision the. court still ignored the Act of 1893 above mentioned and construed the decision to mean "there can be no legal sale of li? quor, by license," but has, Beamingly on purpose, omitted to mention or construe the Actof'93-'94. And whereas, the State of Sooth Caro? lina, acting in good faith through the executive branch ot the government and relying upon the decision ot the Supreme Court In the case of Hoover vs. tbe town council of Chester, iu which it was de? clared tbat the Act of 1892 "was in effect an Act to regulate the sale of spirituoun liquors, the power to do which is uni? versally recognized," has invested large sums of money in liquors for sale under thopro visions of the two Acts mentioned. And whereas, this liquor is now being held at heavy expense while the State is flooded with contraband whiskey sold withont authority of law. Now, therefore, I, B. R. Tiliman, Gov? ernor of the State .of South Carolina, in exercise of my discretion as executive, do issue this my proclamation and declare that the said Supremo Court, having ad? journed without in anywise giving ex? pression in regard to the Act or 1893, that the said Act is of full force and effect, and will be enforced in accordance with my oath of office until tbe Court shall have passed upon the same, or until the Legislature shall have repealed it. The county dispensers In the various coun? ties will of en their dispensaries on Wednesday, August 1st. All persons interested! including public carriers, are notified that the importation of liquors will be at a risk of seizure and prosecu? tion, and all contraband liquors round in the bordeis of the State will be seized and confiscated, according to law. " In testimony thereof I have hereunto set my band and caused the great seal of the State to be affixed at Columbia this Twenty-third day of July, A. D. 1894, and in the One Hundred and Nineteenth year of the Independence of the United States of America. B. B. Tilemanv J. E. TimdalTj, Secretary of State. Br. Pope on the Dl&pensary. Columbia Register. Dr. Sampson Pope came to the city yesterday to arrange about issuing writs of election for two vacant Senatorshlps. The writs are to bo signed by tbe Presi? dent of the Senate and by himself as clerk in order tbat the candidates for Senator may be voted for at the coming general election. Two Senators?Messrs. Hazard, of Georgetown, and Smy the, of Charleston?have resigned, and an election must be held to fill up the vacan? cies. Dr. Pope was seen by a reporter and with other matters the liquor question was discussed. "What do you think of Governor Tiliman opening the dispensary, Doc? tor?" "I see by the papers that at Ht... pton Governor Tiliman said that be would open the dispensary in two or three weeks. I am sorry to see this, as I think that it will irritate our people and possi? bly may lead to bloodshed, and I cannot see how he can do so without the sanc? tion of a majority of the board of control. The Act of 1892 has been declared by the Supreme Court to be unconstitutional and I think it would be much better to wait until the Supreme Court meets in November and test tbe Act of 1893, which Act is really almost the same as that of 1892. "There are cases I believe which will come before the Court at that time and it would be better to wait until then. Tne Legislature will then be In session and if tbe Court should declare tbe Act uncon? stitutional the Legislature could pass an Act disposing of the stock on hand and at tbe same time could enact a high license law. I have favored the dispensary, but I bad rather see it go forever than cause the loss of a single citizen or the shedding of another drop of blood, "Everything is quiet now, our people are coming together, why disturb tnis peace and quiet? It has been demon? strated that prohibition does not prohib? it At least, let tbe people have a chance at the coming election to pass upon the matter and settle It for once and for? ever.

Is the man who writes something the people will read, and reading, believe. In this age of education and enlightenment, when men read and think for themselves, all that stuff about "selling goods cheaper than your competitors buy them," being the "only competent dealers in the line," "handling better stuff than anybody else," Ac, ia mere clap trap, and subjects the writer and the firm back of it to the contempt of all right-thinking people. The man who has something to offer, and then tells the folks about in a plain, business way, Is the man who "gets there," and getting there, stands. Lots of people bandle Paint. Some handle one kind, some another, but they all realize, if they have any business sense at all, that in order to make that buainees a permanent success it is absolutely neces? sary to give the people the very best ma? terial. This we have tried to do, and at a price that puts it in the reach of all. In this connection we call attention to the fact that crops are about laid by, time Is plentiful, and a little paint not only freshe ns and beautifies, but improves won? derfully the sanitary condition of the premises. If your ho us 2 is all right may? be the fence needs a coat, A little Paint wonld keep that old buggy from falling down, and the wagon might last a year or two longer by spending seventy-five cents or a dollar in Paint on it. , Remember this, the longer you put it off the more it takes and the less good it does* Remember another thing, it coats just as much, and takes just aa much time, to have cheap ps .in t put on aa it does good Paint. Always buy the best, even if you pay more for it. HILL BROS., Druggists. ANDERSON, S. 0. A BURNING QUESTION I WHAT KIND TO BUY AND WHERE TO BUY IT. PURE wATEit WHITE . EVERY GALLON FULLY GUARANTEED.
