There is a general ahnt down among
the manufacturers of Pittsburg. The
McKinley protection plank is already
having its effect.
Mr. Bryan has special luck in speeches.
W A Congressional speech made him famous
r ' and a convention ?paech made him the
Presidential nominee.
Senator Tillman and family will have
tho sympathy, of the entire people of
South Caroilna in the terrible and unex
pected affliction that has befallen them.
There are three States in which women
thia year will roto for Presidential elect
ors just the same at the men do. These
States are Wyoming, Colorado and Utah.
Democrats should not go outside the
party to rectify what they consider to be
mistakes, or to right wrongs which they
think have been committed. Stick to the
old ship. _
The Populist National Convention
meets to-day in St. Louis, Mo. Some of
the leaders favor endorsing Mr. Bryan's
nomination, whilo otbevs are bitterly op
posed to it. . _
Georgia exchange says? "In Oklaho
the other day a man was granted a
roe from his wife on the ground that
she "cared more for her poodle than for
him. In Soeth Carolina no divorce can
be bad for any cau86 whatsoever. These
t'.vo extremes illustrate the need for a
uniform divorce law in all of the States."
Tho coinage of silver dollars by the

Ex-Governor W. E. Russell, of Massa
chusetts, was found dead in.bis bed at a
fishing camp in Quebec last Thursday
morning. He was apparently In the best
of health and death ls supposed to have
boen caused by heart failure. At the re
cent Chicago Convention he took an ac
tive interest in tba proceedings and was
one of the leaders for sound money.
His death Bas cast a gloom over his entire
State.
The campaign meetings are now get
ting like they used to be in the "good old
days." At times the meeting at Lancas
ter last Wednesday was exciting and
dramatic, bu6 the crowd was cool and al
loted the candidates to fight it out amone
themselves. The insurance matter was
brought up again and Judge Earle asked
Evans if be did not cancel tbs insurance
at 1,3- 4 per cent, on the Anderson dispen
sary and give it co his brother, Barney,
. at 2 per cent. Evans said that this was
not so. Duncan also went for Evans with
questions whish he found some difficulty
in answering.
-rn**-* m> *
Under tba caption of "The Winuing
Ticket" tho Summerville News prints
regularly the names of Bryan and Sewall
for President and Vice-President, John
Gary Evans lor Sanator and Ellerbe for
Governor. Tho Noes may think that
Evans will be elected, but it Is not fair to
the other two candidates to make this
distinction. If any namesshould be pub
lished the entire list should be publish
ed, and there should be no discrimina
tion. BoA when the election comes
around the voters in this State will show
the News and Evans a thing or two. Sub
stitute Earle or Duncan for Senator and
then you will have the "winning ticket."
During the la&t six years bhere have
been 43,902 homicides In this country,
and averaging 7,317 pee year. Within
the same period there have been 723 exe
cutions and 1,11S lynchings. In the last
year 10,500 persons were killed, whereas
in 1S90 there were only 4,290, or loss tfmn
halS as many. The figures prove that
homicidal crime is Increasing at an alarm
ing rate. The ineffective administration
of the criminal law is blamed for this
state of affaira. David Dudley FieldB
'says so, Justice Brewer of the United
States Supreme Court says so, and Judge
Elliott Anthony, of Illinois, is of the same
opinion. _^
The following table was prepared last
week at the Democratic headquarters, in

ming 3-total 228. Aa 224 electoral votes
will decide the matter, this combination
would give Bryan a majority of 5. The
sil veri tes place Illinois, Indiana, Minne

They have a total of 73 electoral votes.
Da the Presidential election this year
there will be 447 electoral votes, of which
the successful candidate must have at

including Maryland and Delaware, have
159, or without Maryland and Delaware,
148. These 148 votes are certain to be cast
for Bryan and Sewall, leaving only 78 ne
cessary for a majority. Eveu if Iowa,
Minnesota and Wisconsin are counted as
dobtful, the remaining States west of the
Mississippi river have 58 votes that are
certain. This leaves ODly 18 necessary to
elect. These wiH be more than supplied
by any two of the so-called doubtful
States west of tho river, or by the single
Stato of Illinois or by Indiana and Michi
gan. Illinois and Indiana are counted al
most as certain for the Democracy this
year as Missouri. It looks as if Bryan
would be elected by a larg? majority of
the electoral and popular votes, but the
frght is going to be hotly contested to tho
very end:
- The following is an Alaska newspaper
obituary : . "Henry Brown, a well-known

DEATH OF MISS TILLMAN,
Instantly Killed by Lightning Near Bre
vard, N. C.
Columbia Register, July 17.
Miss Addie Tillman spent several years
of her life in Columbia and had a host of
friends in this city. The brief announce
ment in yesterday's Register that Bhe bad
been killed by lightning in the moun
tains of North Carolina caused general
sorrow in this city and throughout the
State. There was general anxiety to learn
tho particulars of the sad affair, but they
were unobtainable until last night, when
the body of the unfortunate young lady
was brought to the city on the train from
Asheville, which arrived about 9:30
o'clock. There were nearly 200 people at
the Union depot la-t night, when the train
arrived, and many were the expressions
of heartfelt'sorrow and sympathy.
Full details of th? tragedy were obtain
ed from Mr. T. C. McNeely, eeneral agent
of the Hendersonville and Brevard Rail
road, who was with Miss Tillman
when she was killed and who accompa
nied the remains to Columbia. Mr. McNee
ly said:
"MissAddio Tillman was visiting h<*r
friend. Miss Nettie Addickes, of Hender
sonville Wednesday morning a party
left Henderponvilie to go to Brevard and
ascend Rich Mountain. In the party
wore myself, Mr H. F. Adrticks, Jr.,and
Miss Nettie Addickes. of Hendersonville,
N. C.; Miss Addie Tillman, Miss Mae
O'Bryan, of Allendale, S. C., who wasac
companving Miss Tillman on her visit to
Miss Addickes; Miss Lizzie Bingham, of
Salisbury, N. C.; Miss Annie Warren, of
Hendersonville, N. C.; Rev. Robt. A.
Lee, of Yorkville, S. C. an Episcopal
minister, who was visiting Mr. and Mrs.
Addickes; and Mr. M. D. Cooper, of Bre
vard, a gentleman about 50 years old, who
was in charge of the party as guide and
cicerone.
"The party left Hendersonville at 9:*0
a. m. Wednesday and arrived at Brevard
at 11:30. Horses were obtained and the
party started to ride to the summit of I
Riob Mountain, about B?X miles distant,
leaving Brevard at 12:30 p. m. At 3:30 p.
m. we were about three-fourths of a mile
from the summit of the mountain. A
storm was approaching, and all of the
party except Miss Tillman, Mr. Lee and
myself pushed on and reached the Bum
mer home of Mr. Wm. H. Treacott of
Charleston, before the storm broke. We
three stopped in order for Miss Tillman
and myself to exchange horses. After
exchanging, Miss Tillman remounted. It
commenced raining and she, Mr. Leeand
myself got under a clump of chestnut
trees for shelter from the storm. About
'orty feet from us was a tall oak tree. Mr.
Lee was nearest the oak, standing and
holding the horse by the bridle. Miss
Tillman was seated o? her horse, holding
an umbrella over ber head. I bad moved
away about fifteen or twenty feet to get
on a stump and mount my horse. Sud
denly a bolt of lightning struck the oak
and then came our way. Mr. Lee and his
horso and Miss Tillman and her horse
were killed instantly, all fulling to tbe
ground My horso was km cked over,
but not killed. By that time the bolt had
expended itself and I only felt a light
shock to the hand which I had on my
horse' .' bridle.
"7 .inmediately ran to thom, but they
weie dead having been killed instantly.
They were only slightly bumed. There
was no disfiguration as a result of the
stroke. I obtained a wagon from Mr. Mc
Creery, a farmer who lived near by, and
conveyed the bodies to Mr. Trescott's
house and thence to Brevard. Mr. Cnr
r dl and Miss Pleasams, of Asheville, who
were also ascending the mountain, reach
ed Mr. Trescott's house about the same
time as the first section of our party. They
were exceedingly kind in helping us care
tor the corpses.
"We left Brevard at 11:30 p. ra. Wed
nesday and arrivbd in Hendersonville at
1 a. m. Thursday, the surviving mem
bers of thepartv accompanying the bodies
to that point. I immediately telegraphed
the families of Miss Tillman and Mr.
Lee. The bodies were brought to South
. arolina to-day. Mr Lee's remains were
taken to the home of his father, Mr. J. F.
Lee, in Abbeville, for interment. Mr.
Lee was about 312 years old and single.
Is was impossible for Mr. Addickes
to leave his family, so I accompanied the
remains of Miss Tillman to Colombia
and will go on to Trenton to attend the
funeral."
Mr. McNeely bad a miraculous escape
from death by the bolt which killed his
companions. Their sudden and terrible
death in bi* presence was a severe ehnck.
Mr. J. W. Bunch, an uncle of M?SB
Tillman, and Private Secretary Gunter
went to Spartan burg yesterday morning
to meet the train bearing Miss Till
rna?'s remains and accompany them to
Columbia.
Governor Evans had obtained a special
train to convey Miss Tillman's remains
to her father's home in Trenton. When
the train from Asheville arrived, the cas
ket was transferred to the special train,
being borne by six of the young men em
ployed in the Sta?e House. Many beau
tiful wreaths and bouquets of lovely flow
ers were brought to the depot last night
by friends of Miss Tillman, to be placed
on bsr casket.
Governor Evana, his mother and his
sister, Mr. J. W. Bunch and wife, Private
Secretary Gunter, General John Gary
Watts, Mr. McNeely, Miss Lona Tillman
and B. R Tillman, Jr., accompanied the
remains on the special train. Youmt
Tillman came down from Clemson Col
lage . yesterday afternoon. His sister,
Miss Lona Tillman, who had been visit
ing friends in Abbeville, came to Colum
bia on the same train with bim. They
were prostrated with grief at the untime
ly death of their elder siBter.
" The funeral will be held to-day at High
View Church, about twelve miles from
Trenton at 12 o'clock. Most of the State
House officials will go to Trenton to-day
to attend the funeral.
Miss Addie Tillman was the*eldest
child of Senator and Mr?. B. R. Tillman.
8be was born in Edgefield County and
received her primary education there.
When her father was elected Governor in
1S90, she came to C dumbia to live. She
attended the public school here several
years and was popular with teachers and
pupils, because of her winning ways and
studious habits. Alter spending a year
at Hollins Institute in Virginia, she en
tered Winthrop College when it opened
its session at Rock Hill. She was a hard
?tudent there, and had already won the
love and esteem of her teachers and fel
low-students. She was enjoying her
summer vacation, when death called her
from enjoyment of youth, health and
good spirits to the greater joys in the
realms where there is no deal h. All who
came in contact with her liked ber and
-be will be long and sincerely mourned.
Her father, mother and family will have
the sympathy of the entire State in their
hour of sore affliction.

A Woman's Strange Death.
DONNINGTON*, July 13.-Bessie Mc
Name? was buried here to-day, the fun
eral service being held in St Joseph's
Catbolio Church, and very largely attend
ed. Bessie died from blood poisoning,
.which was brought about in a peculiar
manner.
On the Fourth of July the young wo
man attended a picnic at Solitude Grove,
near this place. She danced a great deal,
and a bole was worn in the heel of her
stocking. The shoe rubbed the akin off
the heel, and the perspiration affected the
color in the stocking. A day or so later
she complained of pain in her heel. A
Ehysician was summoned, but the poison
ad done its werk, and after a few days
of intense suffering sbe died in sgony.
The peculiarly sad "death and the popu
larity of the young woman served to at
tract a large number of people to the
church this morning to attend the ser
vice.
Chimes of thc Southern.
Commencing on Saturday the Southern
Railway system will put into practice the
northern plan of ringing the bells on the
locomotives on all the ljnes of the syRtsm
continuously while the locomotives are in
motion. This means that the bell on the
locomotive will be kept ringing without
intermission from the time the wheels be
gin to turn at one station until they come
to a full stop at another. A special at
tachment is put on every locomotive, by
which the ringing is done by steam power
which is controlled by the engineer with 3
special throttle. Tho system was first
used by the Chicago, Burlington and
Quincy road uome years ago and was
lound to work very satisfactorily.
The object of the continuous ringing of
the bell is to le?ve no room for the state
ment to be made when any one is killed
ata railroad crossing that the warning
signal was not given. In a country where
there are numerous railroad crossings, as
for instance, between Columbia and Char
lotte, and Columbia and Augusta, it is
difficult for the firemen to give the proper
warnings when approaching crossings
without such a system.-Columbia Stale.
A Negroes' Cottou Mill.
CONCORD, N. C, July 13.-Negro capi
talists are about to do what white capital
ists once thought of doing a year or more
ago, viz. build a cotton mill for the express
purpose of manning it with negro labor,
and thus trying to settle the disputed
question of whether the negro would
make a good mill operative. The term
negro "capitalists" is perhaps a large one
to use, however, though the leading spirit
in the enterprise, W. C. Coleman, of this
city, is worth from ?25,000 to $50,000, all of
which he bas made at industrial pursuits
in this State (-ince the war. He explains
the scheme as follows :
..I and other colored men are endeavor
ing to secure subscriptions for enough
stool: to build a mill here in Concord,
which is the second largest mill centre in
the State, where the experiment of work
ing black operatives in a cotton mill will
be tested. If necessary, we are satisfied
that our white iriends will help us out
with subscriptions, bot if possible we
should like to have all the stock taken by
negroes, in order to make the mill essen
tially and in fact a negro enterprise from
beginning to end. There is little doubt
that the mill will bo built and put in ope
ration this year. Tho company will be
formed very soon, and I suppose I shall
bo the president of it."-New York Post.
Hung on a Gate.
Yesterday news reached the city of the
death of Robert Simms which occurred
last Friday morning in a very unusual
manner.
Simms lived just across the North Car
olina line, but was well kuown in this
city.
Very early Friday morning his body
waa found banging from a gate post, or
rather from two posts fastened together
near the top, which held the rails to the
gate post.
Tho supposition is that he had left his
own home to go to Mr. Pitman's, on whose
fence he was found not far from the house.
Instead of opening the gate to pass through
be had climbed up on the fence close to
it, probably !'<>r the purpose of resting
awhile, and bad laid bis head down on
tbe chain which held the pots together.
While thus resting it ii thought ho bad
fallen asleep and rolled off, but his chin
catching over the chain with the weight
of his body drew the posts together, ren
dering ic impossible for him to draw his
head out. Thus he was suspended and
choked to death.
Mr. Simms was a very large, strong
man. rather under middle life. He leaves
a wife and mother, two brothers and a
sister to mourn his loss.-Spartanburg
Herald, 16th.
A Judicial Reform Suggested.
To the Editor of the Neics and Courier:
The Rev. Mr Gardner's sermon on "The
Cheapness of Human Life" should be
read from every pulpit ir. South Carolina.
Some reform of our judicial methods
must come very soon. It years ago oc
curred to me that a long step toward rec
tifying the frequent miscarriages of jus
tice in our Criminal Conrts would be tbe
election by tbe people of a defendant's at
torney to go around the circuit (as the
solicitor now does as prosecuting attor
ney,) employed and paid by the State to
defend all cases that come up for trial in
the Criminal Courts. This would unload
us of a body of men who now make it
their constant labor and study to defeat
justice by any art that will pass muster
in a so-called Court of law. The Court is
real ly incomplete without a defendant's
attorney. We have a Judge, a jury, a
prosecuting attorney, a sheriff, a clerk,
all elected by tbe people and paid as pub
lic officers, and, in place of a defendant's
attorney so elected and paid, we have a
body of private citizens whose living de
pends upon their so using *he arts ot
their profession-their "trade"-that they
will be sought after by persons accused
of crime. Tbe bigger and more obvious
the crime the better tbe pay for the lawyer
who defends against the infliction of its
penalties.
I wish to suggest to my brethren of the
Bar a discussion through the public
prints of the practicability and desirabili
ty of having our judicial system so amend
ed that the people will elect and the State
will pay a regular defendant's attorney
for oach circuit, at the same time and by
same methods we now electa prosecuting
attorney. Speak out, brethren of the
Bar. Respectfully,
JOHN J. DARGAN.

EDITOR INTELLIGENCER: Plevo allow
me space in your paper to thank my
friends for the compliment tbey paid me in
nominating me for the House of Repre

be rather presumptuous upon my part to
aspire to that high honor, especially when
you have worthy and intelligent citizens
who are anxious and willing to serve you
in that capacity. I apprtclate, however,
and will ever remember gratefully, the
kind expressions of my friends.
