Anderson Intelligencer PUBLISHED EVERY WEDNESDAY. I J. F. CLINKSCALES, I EDITORS AND O. C. LANGSTON, I PROPRIETORS TEEMS: ^)NE YEAR.?1 50 SIX MONTHS . 75 WEDNESDAY, JULY I, 1896. A wail is coming up from all over the State to have the campaign meetings stopped. The crowds have boen exceed ingly slim, and very little interest is manifested. Ben Tillman spoke in Nsw ?York Thursday night at a silver mass meeting. Besides the usual abuse of the press, there was nothing remarkable in what he had to say. He did not explain the bond deal. South Carolina and Anderson County were at tho front from 'Cl to'65 at Rich mond with her brave soldiers. To-day most of those who escaped with their lives have returned to do honor to the oc cisi?n. . Walt Whltmau had betti r go back to his one-horse farm, or perhaps he might improve himself by taking a summer course at the South Carolina College. We ali know that it is a good educational in stitution. -IMBI ?-??? Can't John Gary Evans fight J. T. Dun can alone? If he is able to do this, why should he carry his big brother around ? Barney Evans cannot bluff anybody, even if he did get a monopoly on dispen sary insurance. Walt Whitman was called down at Conway last week by a newspaper man. He spoke of "those lying reporters," and when one called on him to specify he dis any reference to him. There is t in Walt. .Gay, a correspondent of the New k World, baa been expelled from the island of Coba because Weylor fays be does not tell the truth. Weyler will not let any report go out from the island un til his press censors have first read and approved. It is proposed to send 40,000 unmarried women from Eastern Canada to British Columbia for the purpos?j of supplying the demand of wives. The same thine was once done by France for the benefit of the preponderant bachelors of Eastern Canada, and the result was entirely satis factory. ^A short time ago Editor Boar, of tb> Georgetown Times, was getting after hif delinquent subscribers and complaining about having to wear patched breeches. Two weeks later, in bis local column, ht says: "Remember, that we receive hand some free gifts per every trip of th? New York steamer, which we cheerfully givi away to our customers at the Ladles' Ba zaar." Any person with an eye to the welfar* of the County can go the Court Hous? and sit there a week during a term of oui . 'Court and soe the need of a reform atioi - as to the number and nature of the nu ru cases which occupy the time at the ex pense of the taxpayers. More than bah * of the petty larceny, assault and batten oases could or ought to be tried by * Magistrate instead of being sent to tb* Court of" Sessions. When a man i> charged with a serious crime, then it it well for a higher Court to try. The National Democratic Conventior which meets in Chicago next week will practically declare for free silver. Then are a great many candidates in the fielr fir the presidential nomination, the moM promindnt among them being Horace Boies, with Tillman bringing up the rear. Boies has a clean re cord, and the chance* are now that he will win. Senator Teller, of Colorado, who bolted the St. Loui% Convention because of the gold platform, is prominetly spoken of for the place, but the Democrats would be more thai, foolish to pot bim up. There seems to be a general kick throughout the Stato 'at the action of tb? Executive Committee in closing the tim? for candidates to file their pledges before the Chicago Convention Besides an ex-? or bi tact fee was charged to all candidate* pfjilftb seems tc hare been the work ol S^the reform office-holders at Columbia Tompkins, Norton, Barberand Timmer man have no opposition, which woulo not have been the (?se had the action o' the Execuitve Committee been otherwise. Dan Tompkins seems to have a great dea) do with the wire pulling. Tho Democratic State Conv ition o' Georgia, held at Macon, adopted the uni rale and elected a solid delegation to Chi cago instructed for Iree silver at 1G to 1 All the present State officers were renom inated with the exception of Treasurer IC U. Hardeman, who declined, and A* Eistant Treasurer W. J. Spead was nomi nated to succeed bim. The platform adopted declares for free silver; tariff foi revenue only and a graduated income tax. Hon. Patrick Walsh, E. P. Howell, Hal Lewis and J. Pope Brown were chosen a delegates-at-large to tho Chicago Conven tion, bot no Presidential candidate wa? named. - Editor Horace R. Hobart contributes to the Railway Age on its twentieth an niver6ary a very valuable review oftht -past twenty years in the railway work?. In the past twenty years the railwaj lines of the Unitfd States have grown from 74,000 to 181,000 miles ; and the rail ways of the world from 184,000 miles b the vast stretch of 400,000 miles. Th growth of population, rapid aa it ha< been, has not kept pace with the growth of railways, although in the 20 years thp people of the United States have incr?as? d from 45,000,0000 to 70,000,000. In Chicago, however, essentially a city of the rail ways, the growth has been in keeping with the extension of railways into the Western country, its population bas risen Jr om about 245,000 to abont l.OOO.COOor nearly four times what it was in 1876. mm ? -e? - Ever Bince the year 1865 we have hear'' . tfie annual cry of "short cotton crop,'' "too much rain," "drought," "lice," "rust," "shedding fruit," and "making too much weed," but, excepting extreme ly bad years, it has averaged fairly well considering the annual drain from the Boil. Providence receives the blame for human stupidity in that direction. Up to date this year cotton generally never promised better. We have no recollec tion of seeing the standard of 100 record ed. It is an imaginary standard that has never been reached, and our humble ad vice to the farmers is to pay diligent at tention to food crops, give little heed to the talk about short crop. With plenty on whioh to live the farmer can stand the calamity of a big low priced cotton crop ora little crop either. Cotton will sell cheap this year. Look after the pigs and corn. Judge Eirle is now ic the race for Uni ted States Senator, but so far has attended none of the campaign meetings. He is holding court in Charleston, and ns soon as bis official duties will permit, he will go to the meetings and plead bis cause before the people. Duncan and Evans are furnishing all the excitement, and the lie between thom bas been passed rather freely. There are a great many people in this State who rejoice to-day that Judge Earle has entered the field, and it looks as ? t he wi'.i have a good following at the last' stretch. HH is a strong man aud i-? far better qualified to occupy a seat in the 8euato than John Gary Evans. In this c^nnectioujt might be well to state that Gov. Evans has not yet told who got those commissions in the bond deal. He would confer a great favor if he would come out like a man and tell the truth. He cannot expect fairminded people to think him innocent as long as he insists on dodging the issue. The INTLLEIGENCKR has completed its thirtieth volume, and this issue makes first on the thirty-first. There are not thirty volumes o? tho record of any Coun ty in the S ate more interesting than that contained in the files ol the INTELLIGEN CER, and as time goes by they oet ome more and more interesting and valuable. In this thirty yejrstbe INTELLIGENCES ha* faitfully recorded the rise aud tall of many men and measures, but withal has pursued tho even tenor of its way. It has been blissed with a constituency as true as steel, and if it Lus not actually deserv ed the sympathy aud support of this con stituency, it tus received large credit for itrj good intentions:. It has tried in its turn to be faithful to this constituency, and tbis eifort bas perhaps made it a few enemies, but it is a source of much con gratulation that it can still "boa-.t ol a larg er and more iutelligeut list of bona fide euoscribers than any other country paper in South Carolina. As an independent Democratic newspaper, the INTELLIGEN CER will never cease to do ita duty. In the future as in the past, it will continue to batile for the material welfare and pro gress of the city and county ot Anderson. Commencement at Greenville. MR.

CEABLESTOX, June 2<.-The firat week'" staue o the two months'journey of the Reform band wagou through South Carolina having been accomplished it might be of interest to review some of the incidents of the trip and give promi nent characteristics of several of the can daren. Five counties have been visltfd-Clar endon, Willi-imsbulrr, Georgetown, Kor ry and Marion-and the speeches bas been beard bv no moro than 1,700 people. Al Marion yesterday OOH was a liberal es time of the number of the audienoo and the reason for even that much interest was because Marion bad two sons ou the stump-Elierbe and Norton. George town broke the record for a small meet* ing, I ber? being le s than 50 white men of that county in attendance. Careful readers of the S ate are about as familiar with what bas transpired a9 those who attended the meetings. They have had the gist of the argumenta in all the salient points made in those five days condensed into about 3u,000 words of dis patches to the State. Next to the senatorial race, the contest for the job of keeping warm the execu tive chair in the State House next winter by a n tural process, is the most interest ing. This is occasioned by the fact that a favor?te son of the lowlands and Pee Dee Fection is one of the candidates ; an equally favored sou of the Piedmont is another, and that the hills or old Union send forth a candidate, who tells some unsavory truths about Keforrn, grinds a crank about colleges, and sprinkles ao ac ceptable amount of ginger and pepper into the debates. Mr. W. H. ?llerbe, of Marion, is well known in public life in this State. By the c aanging of four votes from Stokes of Colleton by the Richland delegation he was nominated in 1890 for comptroller general, and on taking the stand to accept bis nomination Mr. Ellerbe said be wi-b ed it understood that he was not one of those who believed there had been any corruption in the State-that the fight was simply on the principle of "outs"* wishing to be * ina." His administration of the comptroller's office for four years was creditable. lu 1894 be was one of the candidatees forgoveruor, but bis "br ches holt" on Tillman was not one of the strongest, so he fell behind. Mr. Ellerbe is an ardent Reformer, but not of the Tiil man-Evans stamp. His platform seems to be one on which mode atioo, with jus tice to all factions, will have a stauoiug crowding off the arrogance and insolent partisanship which have characterize the governor's ofH ;9 for six years. Mr. Eilerbe is the youngest candidate. State Senator John R. Harrison, ot Greenville has bebn a member of the leg islature a greater longth of time than any othrr mau in that body, with the possi ble exception of Major Buist, of Charles ton. After serving in the lower branch so vc - il terms be bas graced a chair in tba Senate for eight years. He is tho eldest oT the candidates, being about .">, and is of rather distinguished appearance. Iron gray, with a bead shaped like James G. Blaine and beard trimmed in hig*t?le, uis side face is not unlike that of the Maine statesman 10 years ago. Io politics Mr. Harrison is a conserva tive Reformer. His promise is to reoog ? ize no class or laction if be is elected goveraor, and to try and bring the peo ple together. His votnagainsttbe metro politan police bill will probably be re membered in Charleston on election day. The only clash between Mr. Harrison aud Mr. Ellerbe is on Clemson College the former claiming that the institution is conducted more as a literary than an industrial school; that it costs too much sud tbat whatever it gets should be ap propriated directly from the treasury aud not go to it in the uncertain privilege tax; Mr. Ellerbe, a member of the i.lem _sou boar:*, defending that college as it "stands. Both favor State institutions of higher learning. M'. Harrisou likes a joke exceedingly iu private conversation, und he is fond of tellb-gathem on the stand. Jonesville, Union couuty, IsbeingJ-laily advertised by a son wbe is certainly one of the moat interesting features of the campaign. M-.G. Wa t Whitman is be tween 48 and 50 years of age, of medium height, Htout, with black hair, moustache and close cropped spiders. His training m the Methodist pulpit makes him a flu ent speaker, and he has a rather forcible style of delivery. It is not chaste or polished, bnt be says he can put these frills on if he wanted to, be j UM chunks them "the facts like throwing ear corn to hogs," as he puts it. Mr. Whitman tells them that be was a Reformer bef?te Ben Tillman was heard of and has been keeping on that same tack ever since. When he talks, beseems to be iu earnest, gets very much wrought up, and it' be should be so fortunate as to win tba office, could truthfully claim to have earned every dollar of his salary by theawaatof his brow, perspiration now being ?.t a discount. Mr. Wnitmau's platform is the tearing do*n of colleges, improving public school?, wiping out factional lines, chok ing uti' pap-suckerd and getting a hold himself. The attention given bim when be had told some exceedingly uncompli mentary truths about Ben Tillman and the movement bas been really quite sur prising; he bax had bis say and made the people laugh at some of his vehement de [. u ucla nous. Ho bas.overi beeo HO riariog as to prahe the fairness of the State &u? was permitted to sit down unrebuked The Reformers sneer at Whit. They call bim a crank and other more uncom plimentary names for enterta'ning the notion that he.can be governor. Yet the Reform cry has been tbatany man, under their rt'ign, could aspire. Old Whit cer tainly is a crank on the education plank, but there are bigger fools than he in the house and senate to-day, who are en trusted by Reform with the great respon -ibility of making our laws. They may nut have been relieved of minlsterialduty in the pu pit, but then they were never elevated to that position. A State officer nearly fainted when I said it would not surprise me If Whitman was elected; he does not seem near so impossible now as Tillman did In 18S6, and their style of reaching the people is not dissimilar. Of course the public bas been most in terested; in th? debates betwoen Governor Evans and Mr. Duncan, candidates for the United States Senate. At every meet ing except Georgetown, Governor Evans has seemed to have the crowd with him, but Mr. Duncan has been given courteous bearings at every point via ted and I know that he has caused some men to think. It is vety difficult, if not impossible, for a countryman uf intelligence even above the average, to understand ful'y the points iu this bond matter. But there is au imp rtant point overlooked by the governor; is that the people of South Carolina do not care at this particular juncture one picayune whether Mr. Dun can is ii gorilla, a gyascutus, a jack leg lawyer, a tailed farmer or an insignificant clerk in the State bouse. They are not even particularly interested just now as to whether or not Mr. Duncan is aliar. For whatever Governor Evans may say to the contrary, it is not lyiug to ask for explanations of matters about whien there is suspicion, but no proof; and if the ex planation given appears unconvincing, to reiterate the call? tor more proot. If, nowever, Governor Evans' contention at Marion is true, then Ben Tillman won the gove rnorship of this ?tate on slander ons lies, and the record will bear me out. Tillman did not make "charges" in '88 and '90 ; they-were insinuations, and in sinuations not so direct as Mr. Duncan's, and not particularizing any mao, but like afoul blanket thrown over the whole administration. "I make the charges and--'; "ve it to you to disprove them." Doe?^i?jvernor Evans remember thatoft repei;Zd speech of Capt. Tillman, and did ho no approve it and applaud it? Ob,' ibese chicken*, when they come home to roost, are the devil incarnate. Mr. Duncan does need more facts and more direct evidence. As a debater, Gov eriior Evans hashim at a disadvautage, und iu ono or two places his cau.se bas appeared to ce weakly su&taiued. Again, in South Carolina, a man is expected to reseutau iusult, aud when be does n t do so the crowd is very a^t to cheer the other man. It, however, may require more fortitude and self command to re frain from doing so, when an indulgence would spoil carefully laid plans, than otherwise, so there may be exceptions to that good rule that "damn lie means knock down." The end may show in this case. It does not seem to me now to be a question of "Who got the com missions?" . hat part of the commissions already disposed of seems to b* accounted for But what Duncan has boen hamraeriug at is to get a statement from Governor Evans as to whether he has, from tho first, had an agreement with Rhind to divide in any proportion the com missions that Rhind would get, and if so when such agreement wis made. There are Sl.S.OOO yet to come to Rbind. Out of that Governor Evans says he is to get afee, the amount of which has never boen named. One point is, whether such fee contemplates a reward fur G ivernor Evaux' recommending Mr. Rhind to Governor Tillman as a good mau to re fuud the bonds ; another is whether there was an agreemeut between thurn to divide commissions, and it so whether Governor Evans' share will be-or would have - --- - --? ? 1 * - ~rrrrrrv. been ii' this row waa not raised about it out of proportion to hifl services in the case. If these points have been settled, or attempted to be, it bas escaped my attention. It is, unquestionably, distasteful, aggra vating, riling, maddening to be accused unjustly, but to accuse, charge anil in sinuate were the forerunners and camp followers of Reform. Governor Evans must have it iu his power and ability to make the whole thing light as dav. W. E. GONZALES. J litige fiarle a Candidate. Judge Joseph IT. Earle bas issued an address to the people ot'the State announc ing his candidacy for the United States Senate and giving an outline of the plat" rortn on which he stands. The addrefea is asfollowsjt To the Democratic Voters of South Car olina: I have the bonor to place my name before yon asa candidate for the otlice of United States Senator-the high est otllce in the gilt of our rtato. Controlled by the requirements of duty, ! cannot leave the Beuch tu go upon the bustlings, and I know that you will ex cuse my absence from the political meet ings now being held, aud that you will permit me to adopt this modo of commu nication. If I should receive your favorable con sideration I can only promise to do my duty. My record iu before you, and it ia for you to determine whether or not I am deemed worthy of this high honor. lu State politics I belong to no clique or fao'ion other than the Domouratie party I occupy the same position th t truth, fairness and fidelity to the causo of Anglo Saxon eupremacv han always compelled me to occupy, and that is, that the major ity must rulei When the verdict has been rendered all strife and contentinu should cease, and at the general election all Democrats should stand together and work together for the common Weal. To thia end I have used my best efforts to reconcile the differences which haye ex isted among our people, and I shall con tinue upon this line. I have always deprecated any unjust censure or abuse of our public officials. They are the servants of the people and should so act as to be above suspicion, and while they should always be held to a strict accountability, no one should be brought before the bar of public opinion and condemned bet?re being heard. In seeking your suffrages I shall not descend to the low plane of vituperation or abuse, success by the use of such methods is lesB to be desired than failure without thom. I now beg and invite your attention to a short statement of my views of the important national questions now being agitated 1. The monentary question overshadows all others and its determination will re sult in the return of peace and prosperity, if truth and justice prevail, or in ruin and bankruptcy, if the blind worshippers of the siugiu gold etaudard should suc ceed. Let u* return to the money of our forefathers, the money of the Constitution, the money that made this country the greatest under the sun ; and let gold and silver be both coined freely and without limit?t a ratio of sixteen to one, as money of ii nal redemption, with equal legal ten der power, without waiting tor interna tional agreement. If other nations tall into line, so much the better ; but if not, this nation should occupy that position of independence justified by its power and required by the needs of its people. I do not approve of the financial policy recently pursued by the General Govern meut in Burrnnriering ita option to redeem its obligation* in either gold or silver. If it bad not been for thia b under the neca sity for issuing bonds would not have existed. 2. I advocate the enforcement of the Ddtnocratic doctrine of a tariff for re ven ue only. 3. I am in favor of a graduated(income tax and such amendments of the Consti tution of the United States as will permit legislation to umt end. The accumulation of the colossal fortunes by a lew people is a constant menace to our free instituions The laws of supply aud demand, no longer fix the value of the products of in dustry, but they are forced to yield to unjust exactions of combined capital, and as a result the rich grow richer^ the poor become poorer. Sometbiug must bo wrong, and a reme dy must be found aud speedily applied. I am in accord with Senator Tillman in the positions assumed by bim in the Sen ate, and if elected I shall supplement bis able efforts to protect the rights of the people with such power as I may have and with all the earnestness of my nature. Trusting that I may at some future time have the opportunity to appear be fore you to discuss the issues involved, I am respectfully, ', JosEnr H. EARLE. Joy and Mourning. SALLY, S. C., June 25.-This entire community yesterday morning was shocked to learn that Mr. Wm. H. Price bad died suddenly of heart trouble, ac the home of bin newly made bride, near Springfield. On the evening of the 24tb he marr ed Miss Julia Phillips, daughter of Mr. Wm. T. Phillips, and one of the most estimable young ladies of Orange burg County. After the ceremony a re ception was tenden d the couple at the residence of the bride, the party enjoying themselves until a late hour.' This re caption was to have been followed by another at the borne of the groom at Sally nn the following evenirjp, tbe?25tb. Little did the happy crowd expect that their season of rejoicing would so soon be turned to one of mourning ere another evening came. Mr. Price retired and aa usual rose early the next morning, and Beemed bright and cheerful. He-ate a hearty breakfast; excusing himself from the others, be leit the table. Going to the front porch of the bouse, which he barely reached, and without a word or single sound fell dead. He possessed many good qualities and his ginial face will be missed from the old accustomed places. - North Carolina comes forward with the story of a terrific snake and eel ti g hr. Tbeanake was a bull moccasin about six feet long and two and a half inches in diameter. Tba eel was a common yellow one, butof uncommon size. When fi st s-en the two sleek combatants were in shallow water, each standing erect with tails twisted around roots. The snake bad evidently attempted to swallow its smaller opponent, but had found him a slippery and wiry foe. They soon came together again, however, and for several minutes the water was churned as if by a side-wheeler. They formed a cork screw shaped column on the water and each tried to squeeze the life out o? the other. Finding this futile, they com menced wreathing and the eel scored a victory, throwing ita opponent with ease. They both wont under tho water and were lost to sight. Presently something "a-panting aud a-blowing" was beard making for the shore, and to the aston ishment of the thunderstruck spectators, the snake threw itself out of the water and lay gasping for breath on the bauk A glimpse was caught of the victorious eel as it turned, just before reaching the bank and glided into its watery element. The snake was dispatched and the spec tators returned home to tell the glorious news. - An earthquake in Northern Japan, accompanied by a tidal wave destroyed the town of Kamaishi killing about 1,000 people. In 20 hours there were 150 shock". - In proportion to its size, the horse ban a smaller stomach than any other quadruped. - West Woolwick, Me., is perhaps unique in not having a dog within the villuge limits.
