The Court House is an unsightly build? ing, is inconveniently arranged and is located in the wrong place. If these wore the only objectionable features of the present building, we would be opposed to the erection of a new one. Bat the present Court House is badly in need of | repairs, and we think it economy to spend this money on a new one, which the County will be compelled to build before long. 1 he records of the County are kept in the safest place provided for their keeping, bnt if the building should be burned the records would also be con? sumed. These records are of inestima? ble value to every tax-payer in the County, and their being burned would morally amount to criminal negligence on the part of the people for failing to furnish a vault in which to securely keep them. We believe a large majority of j the taxpayers of the County are in favor j of erecting a new building, and if the next Legislature will give the Board of j Commissioners the authority the new Court House will soon be a fact. Pretty Heavy on the Boys. Atlanta Journal. Senator Ben. R. Till man and Governor John Gary Evans of South Carolina, were denounced in no uncertain language by the members of the Exposition Exhibitors Association this morning. Resolutions condemning their speeohes on South Carolina day at the exposition as inflammatory utterances, were adopted, and the two South Carolinians were re? ferred to, as ranting demagogues, cut? throats and moonshiners. The remarks of the two gentlemen from South Carolina caused quite asensatioD at the exposition. Their utterances were reported to the exposition officials before the audience in the building where the speaking occurred had recovered from its great surprise. Tho words traveled through the expo? sition grounds and were condemned alike by exhibitors and visitors, but no move to denounce them was made until yester? day and to-day the movement culminated in the meeting of the Exhibitors' Asso? ciation. The meeting was. held in the transpor? tation building and was called to order by President Johnson at 10 o'clock. All the members were present. After the trans? action of some routine business. the speeches of Senator Tlllmanand Governor Evans were incidentally referred to and the reference aroused one of the members. It was Mr. T. L. Bannet. He said that the association ought to take notice of tbe speeches, that they were beneath the dignity of the body. In his opinion the speeches were bot the utterances of a set of cutthroats and moonshiners who ought to know better and which could not be taken as the sentiment of the South or the feeling of the southern people. He moved that a committee of five be appointed to draft resolutions concerning the speeches. This was done and the committee retired* In ashort while they presented the following resolutions which j were' unanimously adopted: "Whereas, The public expression of representative men who have visited the Atlanta exposition have been of a con? ciliatory character, marked by evidence of tbe broadest patriotism and the most sincere fraternity, and Whereas, This characteristic has been true regarding the expressions of distin? guished visitors, whether those visitors came from the North, the East, the West, or the South, and Whereas, The friends and promoters of tbe Atlanta fair, by reason of the many fraternal expressions their enterprise bad provoked from patriots of all parts of the Union, had begun to regard tbe. more friendly relations between the different sections of our common country as one ot the best and most gratifying results likely to grow out of their stupendous enterprise, therefore be it Resolved, By the Exhibitors' Associa? tion of said Atlanta exposition, a body composed largely of American citizens I and representing all parts of the Union and all shades of political opinion,' that we deeply deplore the one marked fla? grant exception to the heretofore prevail? ing expressions of fraternity, brotherly love, patriotism and loyalty that was made manifest at this Exposition on aouth Carolina day, and In which the Ex- Governor of that State, Ben Till man, and the present Governor, John Gary Evans, were tbe offenders. Resolved, That we know, from our con? tact and intercourse for the past few months with Southern people, that in their disloyal and inflammatory utter? ances these two ranting demagogues are a libel on the better olassof Southerners, and do not give voice to the prevailing Southern sentiment. \ Resolved, That we sympathize with the Southern States of our Union in the affliction which compels them to endure such blots on their inner worth and such clogs to their merited progress; and we especially symyathize with the ignorance ibat must yet prevail in South Carolina to make it possible for such scum to rise tu the surface. Resolved, That for the fame and good name of the Atlanta exposition, at which these men were unfortunately permitted to speak, we denounce their speeohes as tielog devoid of reason, sense and pa? triotism, and we repudiate the speakers. In this we. feel, confident we are bnt voicing the sense of oar country and the earnest feelings of the better people of all the Southern States. Resolved, That we sympathize also - with the management or this exposition that under the cloak of temporary au? thority two such fanatics should have been able to intrude their utterances upon the otherwise healthy and satisfactory proceedings that have characterized this enterprise. Bat while dismissing the ut? terances of these men as unworthy of | farther notice from oar association or the country, we do not forget that in tbe general economy of nature mankind must have his troubles and communities their afflictions. It is not many years since California was greatly annoyed by a brace of bandits known as Evans and Sontag, and what the exhibition witness? ed here on the 2Sth of November is bnt on evidence that South Carolina in its tarn is enduring, through its own indis? cretions, a season of torment from its Tillman and Evans. Committee for association: J. A. Fil? etier, California, chairman; J. William Porta, Maryland; W.P. Anthony, Vir? ginia .Bennett, Tennessee; C. H. Bob? bins, Boston. Approved: George Johnson, prisident Exhibitors' Association. South Carolina's. Delegation. Washington, December 5.?Senator Tillman put an end to-day to farther controversy as to his political status in the Senate by attending tbe first Demo? cratic caucus of the session. Many of tbe newspapers have insisted upon classi? fying him with the Populists, but ho has stoutly denied tbe soft impeachment and contended that he is a better Democrat than President Cleveland. Senator Tillman is rapidly becoming familiar with his Senatorial duties and he is making friends'with his associates. To-day while the Senate was in session Representatives Latimer, Strait and Stokes entered the chamber and took seats on the Democratic side. They were soon joined by Senator Tillman, who chatted with them about the State Con? vention and other local matters. He afterward called up several Senators, inoluding Senators Bacon, of Georgia, and Roach, of North Dakota; Allen, of | Nebraska ; Martin, of Virginia, and pre? sented them to his South Carolina col? leagues. Senator Irby arrived here last night, but he did not appear in the Senate to? day. In South Carolina circles it is said that be does not stand the slightest chance of re-election, for Governor Evans is already slated to succeed blm. Repre? sentatives Latimer and Strait are still on the "black list" at tbe postofflce depart? ment, so far as the distribution of postal patronage is concerned During their drat term in Congress they were placed upon the "black list" by Mr. Bissell. who was then Postmaster General, and up to date they have not been able to control the appointment of even a fourth class postmaster in their respective dis? tricts. Having served in the House of Representatives with Postmaster General Wilson, they looked for some recogni? tion from him, but he appears to be fol? lowing the precedent set by hit prede? cessor, so far as the two South Carolini? ans are concerned.. Messrs. Moorman, Johnson and Murray who are contesting tbe respective seats of Representatives L-uimer, Stokes and Elliott are here witb their attorneys pre? paring to go before tbe House committee on elections as soon as tbe South Caro? lina cases are called ?

Below is given the farewell speech of "Uncle" George Till man, delivered to the Constitutional Convention, when be was uo enthusiastically called for at the close of the Convention's proceedings on the final night. It was the last speech made in the Convention, and coming as it did from Son'b Carolina's veteran statesman at such a time, it was listened to with the closest attention. It deals with the Federal outlook in an interest? ing manner. Here is the speech in full: .Mr. President and gentlemen of the Convention: I had no expectation of being invited to address the Convention on?nothing in particular and everything in general. But since I have boon called on in such a complimentary manner, I wonld either be more or less tba'n a man if I did not thank the Convention for such a compliment. Mr. President, we can all hope a great deal from tbe Constitution we have adopted. It is not such an instrument ax we would have made if we bad been a free people. We are not a free people. We have nut been since tbe war. I fear it will be some time before we can call ourselves free. I have bad that fact very painfully impressed upon me for several years. If we were free, instead of having negro suffrage, we would have negro J slavery. Insead of having tbe United States government we would have the Confederate States government. Inst?ad I o." paying 83,000,000 pension tribute, we would be receiving it. Instead of having j many things thae we have, we would have other and better things. But to the extent that we are permitted to govern ourselves and pay pension tribute to our conquerors, we have framed as good an organic law, take it as a whole, as the wisdom and patriotism of the State could have desired. Perhaps, sir, if I were to Bpeak appro? priately on such .an occasion as this, I ought to speak from a national point oil view?about oar Federal relations and about our future as forecasted by our present surroundings. But it is too vast a snbject to be taken offhand. Tbe Convention, though, is tired out. Many of them are making . preparations* to go home, and I shall therelore not at tempt it. I will casually allude to a few matters in national politics which give me hope of a better future lor us. One is tbe fart I that I am satisfied that the Republican party has adopted a new departure to wards the negro. The silver question has to a great extent superceded tbe negro question. It was tbe silver question that saved us from not only more reconstruc- | tion hell in 1890. bat that saved the gov ernment of tbe United States from being revolutionized from top to bottom. Tbe Lodge force bill under Reed's manipula? tion, passed the House of Representatives and came within one vote of passing tbe Senate. So near did we come to having oar present form of government over thrown, and yet South' Carolinians were wrangling over local matters here, simply scram bling for office without any prinoi pie at stake and didn't seem to realize how near we were to having a political volcano exploded under oar feet. Free silver saved us. Tbe free silver Senators I said: "We are more interested in free I silver than we are in tbe rights or wrongs of the negro. And as tbe South is almost unanimous for free silver, we would be a parcel of fools to help the Eastern States oppress the Sooth on tbe negro question." Free silver then saved as in 1890, and I believe, gentlemen, ''free silver will save ns in the presence of tbe overwhelming Republican sentiment that now domi nates the North. Not only dominates the North, but all the border slave States. Remember Delaware, Maryland, Weat Virginia, North Carolina, Tennessee and I Missouri all went Republican at the last election on account of the Federal elec? tion laws being repealed. Tbe free silver question will not die soon. It Ib a living question. It has as mach vitality as tbe negro question ever had. Of coarse, Disraeli was right when be said a race issue in politics was the most vital that ever could be started. But a financial I question like free silver is almost an strong. It will be years perhaps before the silver question Is finally settled, and until it is the negro question will be relegated to the rear. The Republicans realize that the negro question is a secon dary question now, and hence it was they consented to tbe repeal of tbe Federal election laws, which gave them back tbe Southern border States, and those border States have gone to thb Republican party to stay. They have gone where they naturally belong. Hence there is no more solid Democratic Soutb. We are to find other alliances and economic I issues are to take tbe place of tbe once great race issue. Besides, the Repobli cans, when they choose to exercise it, without passing: any laws, can exercise great power over the South?admitting or excluding her Representatives or Senators. They will ? be put to tbe test whether they will be willing to shot the j doors of Congress to the South Caro'ina Representatives in the present Congress. Not feeling the necessity for it in tbe I boose, tbey may not do it except in some cases where tbey may feel it necessary to keep the negro in heart, to retain*the j balance of power in the Northern States, which are controlled by tbe negro votes because they have to d? something ncoa- I sionallv to warm that race up. But I am satisfied they have adopted a new depar- I tare. Tbey are divided themselves on the silver question. The East is not solid 1 for silver. The West bas a large majority of silver and to-day the only two princi? ples left to the Democratic partv in Snnth Carolina are enmity to Cleveland and friendship to free silver and the silver Senators will not permit any legislation on the negro question and the Courts I have recently shown that they are not eager to punish South Carolina. So we J can reasonably hope to have some peace and quiet for a few years at least. Thev are going to let us alone and if we don't pile on too mach animus opibnsqne parati in attempting to assert oar sover- I eighty they will let as have considerable elbow room. But tbey are a queer peo pie, especially under tbe rule of Tom Reed, who at tbe present stands the best, chance of being the next President of the United States, and if be in, I tremble at what may happen. I was langhing the other day with some gentlemen at the idea of aoybodv quoting tbe Constitution Of the United States to Tom Reed, if be were President. He is a very ambitious man, but there ia many a slip betwixt the oup and tbe lip and a better fate mi-v be in store for this country than to have such a dangerous man for President. I could go on and enlarge on this theme if I bad dreamed that it was the pleasure of tbe Convention to listen to me. If I bad bad any idea that it was the pleasure of the gentlemen to call on me I j would have presented other silver linines { to the cloud tbat hovers over us. I do I not despair for the republic. I cannot believe tbat the great God above us is going to desert this people and turn over to anarchy or civil war. I believe in tbe sober second thought of the great Anglo Saxon roce, who will deoide tbeir differ? ences at tbe ballot box es rather than with the cartridge. I believe tbat we are I going to have a new alignment of politi? cal parties. There is no telling what parties or factions we will have in tbe future. None of us need make any rash promises or assume any extreme posi? tions as to where we will be one year hence in politics. I believe new political parties will be organized. Democracy ia not dead. Its principles are eternal, and the principles announced bv Jefferson, the great father of it, in his first message in 1801, have been tbe political bible of freemen throughout tbe world; it is tbeir bible to-day, and all tbat we have to do is to teach our boys and young men those principles and let tbem always refer to them as the test of every public man and publio measure. We may join the Republican party down here for mo fives of policy. I sometimes think tbat if we bad joined the Republican party just after the war it might have b^en better for us, but we could not do it. We were too honest and too proud. We had I to come down sorter by degrees. Now our party has been almost dis? banded by the treacberv of Cleveland, and the policy of the Republican partv. There is no change of heart in tbem. They never went back on tbe negro from principle; it was policy. Tbeir gold bugs would insist that Rilver should be destroyed as money, and their own peo? ple revolted at it because tbey were not willing to have white slavery established by these who wished to regulate wages by controlling the amount of money in circulation. That is what saved us once; it is what saves ns now. It is what will save us for many years in tbe future, which shows that God in his mysterious way works out things to tbe right end in the long run. There are general causes which, under tbe same circumstances, with the same men, will work out the same results. Those causes have been at work for our good as well as for our harm in some respects. . Mr. President, this is perhaps the last time I shall ever talk in a deliberative assembly of my countrymen. I am done with publio life. As I remarked on a previous occasion, I have enjoyed far more than the average share of publio honor. My ambitions have been grati? fied. I have nothing to regret except that I could not do more for my country. In our debates here I perhaps may, in the heat of tbe moment, have said things in a tone of irritation or mado remarks that had better not been uttered. There was no personal feeling If I did so. It was but tbe impulse of an honest heart trying to speak the truth as it was under? stood by me. If I have hurt any mem? ber's feelings in any way, either in de? bate or in free personal intercourse, I beg his pardon. For the few years that are left me, sir, I shall always cherish the remembrances of this Convention with pleasure. I believe 1 speak what every uiomoeron this floor feels In bis heart when I say from the first day when we met here to tho present hour, the Con? vention has become more and more con? solidated as one man. and umpired by one purpose, stimulated by one tffort, to do the best we could for our old mother State, showing that we never have been divided on principle during tbe last six year* of tstrife, and ihat our politics have been based upon men and not measures, personalities and not principle*, and true i emocracy as defined by Jeff arson de? mands measures, not men. It must be a source of great gratifica lion to every member here and to their constituents at home to see with what unanimity, with what courteousness and yet with what independence of action their representatives in this body have made the Constitution which we have just ratified. It is a rainbow o." hope that tbe State may hereaiter be united as in the past, as one man. For, remember, my countrymen, it took all tbe efforts we could lay forth in '76, and for many years thereafter, to control tbis State; and if we become divided, as I fear we may be, and as I hope we will not for some time to come, we may find it still more difficult?I won't say impossible. I have an abiding faith in tbe Anglo Saxon race, as there never bus been a considerable number of tbem together anywhere that they did not dominate any race with which they came in con? tact; and whatever may happen I have faith that tbey will rule. But as I said, let us never forget that it took tbe com? bined forces of all the men, women and children in South Carolina to get and keep control, and that we ought to try in a spirit ol self-sacrifice to come together here as we were in 76. Gentlemen, I will not detain you lon? ger. I tbauk you for tbe high compli? ment you have paid me. Would to God I could have done more in my feeble way to help on tbe labors of ibis body. I have done my best, and so have you all. I hope that as South Carolinians, as white men and Democrats we will go on as prosperously in tbe future as we ever have in tbe past. And no matter what shall betide us in tbe future I believe we can meet any fate, and nothing can go amiss with us nuless we forget that we are white men, Carolinians and Demo? crats.

Not having seen anything in your pa ?er from tbis section in quite a long time, [essrs. Editors, we will try to give you a few lines. We are all anticipating a big time Christmas. Plenty of back rihs, spare bones and sausage in Brushy Creek now. Most all home raised, too. Nearly everybody hereabouts haa had tbe measles or been to tbe Atlauta Expo? sition one. Its contagious.

Though we have missed the contribu? tions of our good old friend, "Ned Needle," very much this fall, we have not been at all surprised at his not writ? ing, and you, dear reader, will not be either when we tell you what that boy has been doing.

We used to thiuk that be wasn't fit for an\thing but a counter jumper, but we have changed our notion. We have seen him at nearly every kind of work this fall, from picking up chips to printing, and have about come to the conclusion that he is good for most anything with out it's'possums. He is always the same "jolly Ned" wherever you find him ?behind the counter, in the shop, at the engine?anywhere, except when be is in company with the girls, and then he looks scared (?)

Columbia, December 5.?The details of an ugl v lynching wbich occurred in this State last Monday night came to light to? night. It took place in Col leton County, near the Barn well and Hampton lines, and was not known generally in tbat vicinity until Wednesday morning, when the dead bodies of two of tbe victims stripped of their clothing were found one being an old woman. Tbey bad been taken out and beaten to death with new boggy traces?tbe man's offence being tbat be was suspected of having stolen a Bible and some furniture from a church, and the woman's offence being tbat she was supposed to know some? thing of it. Liquor seems to be tbe onlv excuse for tbe deed, if excuse there can be. The affair occurred in Broxton Town? ship, Colleton County, at Broxton Bridge or ford, as it is frequently called. Sev? eral months ago St. Nicholas Church, in Barnwell County, was broken open and robbed, a Bible and some pulpit furni? ture being taken away. A young negro named Isora Kearse, who disappeared from the neighborhood about that time, was suspected of being tbe thief. He bad become somewhat notorious for thefts and had been suspected of bnrning a store some time ago. In some way four Barnwell men had gotten information that he was at his mother's home, near Broxton Ford, and they went over there on Monday night last. Tbese men got two men from tho neighborhood to assist them, one of them being Frank Hiers. Then they went to Isom's house. They found him just coming out of the door. The party took tbe negro, put a rope around his neck and tied him behind their buggy. Then they drove to tbe ferry, two miles away, very rapidly. The poor negro kept up as long as be could, and it is said tbat finally be fell and several times was dragged along. On the way two of the party were sent oack to get the negro's aged mother, "Old Mauma Hannah," and bis young wife, a girl about 17 years of age, who has a five-months-old infant. At tbe ferry tbe party held up and awaited tbe arrival of tbe detail. When tbe women arrived none of the three would or could tell anything about tbe church property. Upon their refusal tbey were all stripped naked and bvaten with a new bnggy trace, which, it is said, was almost worn nut Tbe man was given about 150 lashes and fell insensible, bis body being in a terrible condition. The women were likewise severely beaten. Tbe man several times pleaded with his tormen? tors to shoot him. The old woman broke away and dasbed into tbe woods. Tbe voung woman did likewise, going in a different direction. The men built a fire near the insensible negro, threw his old coat over bim and left. On Wednesday morning bis body was found where it was left, cold in death. It bad been there one night and one day. About one hundred yards away in the swamp, lying in a pool of water about knee deep was found tbe old woman's body, cola and stiff. She bad fallen face downward, with her hands extended. The young woman managed to find ber way borne and is said to be in a critical condition. She told some of tbe negroes about it Tuesday afternoon, but they seemed to be afraid to mention it. Trial Justice A. C. Walker held an in? quest yesterday evening, tbe bodies still being where found. The |ury, composed almost entirely of good white men from the neighborhood, upon the testimony of Hiers, who, it develops, tried to prevent the deed, and who gave all the details, has rendered a verdict charging directly four prominent men, one a physician, with tbe crime.?News and Courier.
