You don't see rnnch now about McKin ley and Hobart They are swept away by the Bryan wave. Atlanta Journal: "There is blood on the moon in South Carolina. It will proba bly remain OB the moon, however." That was written before the meeting at Flor ence last Friday. The Charleston Post has recently been enlarged to eight pages, six coluAnns to the page, and ls one of the brightest mem bers of the dally press in this State. Edi tor Ball conduct} the Post on a high plane and has met with remarkable success. Whenever a men becomes prominent in public affairs there is always a crowd who suddenly d Iscover that they are re lated. A man down in Cheraw comes ont now and says that he is a second cousin to Arthur Bewail. Let others fol low; there are jobs to be given away. A cotton tie trust has been formed and the price of ties will bo raised from 65 cents to $1.30, thus robbing the farmers of the South out of the immense sum of from $3 000,000 to $5,000,000, according to the size of tbe crop. Let farmers start a fight at once and break up this tru.tas they did the bagging trust. Tho Democratic candidate for Governor of Maine, Hon. E. B. Winslow, of Port land, has withdrawn his name from the nvaas on the ground that the platform on which he was nominated declared for gold, whereas the Chicago platform favor ed silver and therefore he could not con sistently remain a candidate. Bryan is gaining strength all over the United State?, and many of those who have been wavering have come out and eay they will give Lim their support. The Atlanta Journal bas declarad its sup port for Bryan and Sowall. The Journal says it cannot swallow all of the Chicago platform, but it is the duty of all true Democrats to vote for the nominees. The conference of sound money Demo crats, which wns in session in Chicago for several days last week, finished its work last Friday. Eleven-States were repre sented. The conferenae provided for the selection of a national committee of one from each State to meet on August 7, at Indianapolis, to issue a formal call /or a National Convection to be held not late? than September 2. An executive com mittee was entrusted with the work of or ganizing State meetings. The Populist Convention, which met last W8ek in St. Louis, nominated Bryan for President and Tom Watson, of Geor gia, for vice-President. The nomination of Watson has caused great dissatisfac tion. Bryan has said that he would not accept unless Sawall was put on the tick et for second place. The Populists have split among themselves, and their Con vention was one of the most bnngled-up affairs that was erer held. Watson seem> delighted at the outcome, and says he will accept. - m ? m The rate war between the Seaboard and Southern is going to play havoc with ev ery class of business and will eventually im t the roads in the bands of receivers. A cut of 80 por cent has been made in freight rates from the North, which goes into effect August 1st. When the rate* fire ptit back to their old stand, which is iiure to follow, the persons who have to pay freight will be taxed to make up for the loss sustained by the roads during the times of slashing. It is bettor to have a uniform rate and stick to it. Well, Mr. State Detective Newbold, . how many blind tigers have you captur ed since the opening of the campaign? The people are taxed to protect the dis pensary and part of that money goes to provide a bodyguard for John Garv Evans, Governor of Sooth Carolina, bj the grace of R. R. Tillman. Barney has loft the meetings to write insurance on the dispensaries and Newbold goes atong to keep anybody from hurting Barney's brother. \? e believe all classes of people in this State will condemn this course. A man who fears bodily harm is no fit per son to be Governor of any State. The Chronicle, a New York insurance publication, prints some interesting sta tistics with regard lo fires and fire losses for the year 1895. There were 3-<,000 fires during Che year, involving losses to the extent of 5142,110,030. Of this amount the insurance loss was ?81,693.020. With the exception of the years 1391,1S92 and 1393, the losses o ' 1892 were greater than those of any year since 1875. The great est losses by fire since the first mention ed year were Buffered in 1873, when tbe amount reached npwarda ol ?167,500.000. During last year the records show that about 61 per cent, of the property des troyed was covered by insurance. The July condition of the corn crop, according to the statistician of the Agri cultural Department, promises to make 1896 another record breaking year, with 2,154,600,000 bushels as the crop, or S.400, 000 moro than last year. The total wbeat crop is figured at 434,776,000 bushels, against 467,102,957 last year. The July estimate of cotton is higher than in any year since 1887; it is three points higher than'July, 189-4, the year of the largest crop ever grown. The condition of to bacco is given at 91.5 per cent, against 85.9 last year; potatoes, 99 per cent, against 91-5, and oats and rye above last year's condition. The Scientific American, of New York, has signalized Its 50th anniversary by the publication of a very handsome 72 page special number, which consists of a re view ot tho development of science and the industrial arts in the United States dnring the past 50 years. It was an am bitions undertaking, and the work has been wen done. Tbe many articles are thoroughly technical, and they are writ ten in a racy ana popular style, which makes the whole volume-it is nothing less, being equal to a book of 44? ordinary pages-thoroughly readable. It is in closed for preservation in a handsome cover, and is sold at the price of ten cent?. There ls nothing left now to be dore but to call off the campaign meetings al together. The trouble at Florence could hardly be helped. No gentleman is going to let aman insult him on the stump, and many others would have done just as Earle did. Tt e whole business is dis gusting. South Carolina has received enough black names without the Gover nor of the State trying to make the re cord worse than it really is. The entire State would rejoice if the campaign meet ings were stopper?, and an end be put to such disgraceful scenes. Watts and Richbourg are still slinging mud and making idiots of themselves before the people. It would be a good thing for all parties concerned if they would get on another glorious drunk and remain so until after the election. We would like very much to see Watts and Riet bourg both defeated; such conductas theirs can not be swallowed by decent people. Would that there was another man in the race. A Fisticuff Between Earle and E>ans at Florence. FLORENCE, July 21 -Th!? ja the great campaigu of education! It is a campaign 'hat lu growing from bad to worse. The Govtirnor of the -tat? of South Carolina and a Cjrcuit Court Judge came to blows >n the rostrum in tho Court House. Blood was spilled as a result of ibis campaign of education. The cam paign can hardly Bink any lower. The personal fight was perhaps no more be low the plane of the campaign than sev eral of the speeches and many cf the re ferences. The speakers Cdlled each otb Br liars with almost the same alacrity that they would call each other gentlemen. One candidate charged the other with be ing helplessly drunk, while the other charged his adversary with having failed three times, and becoming wealthier on the occasion of each failure. A Governor charged insurance agents with "doing the same as stealing money " A Senato rial candidate referred to his adversary HS being a jumping jack, a "toad," and "unworthy to breathe the 'fair name' of a young lady." and finally said of a Gov ernor, "Watch him, he has been in a Court room before, and may yet be in the dock." And a Governor said of bis oppo nents that they were going around like "fice dogs with their tails cut." But why g?? on? 1'heBe are just a few samples of one of the campaign meetings. The list of such complimentary expressions may, (by a search of the records be found to con tinue ad infinitum. But what is the need of this? Actions often speak louder than words. Judge Earle could not stand it any longer and came to blows with his adversary, and a couple of the other can didates gave the audience to understand that there waa a possibility of a meeting "on the outside." Ob, yes! this is the great campaign of education. It is one of the things of which the movement boasts, for it h?s said that it is a great privilege for candi dates to come face to face before tho peo ple It may not make much difference whether the lives of the people are jeop ardized by such meetings, but to-day it looked very threatening, for numerous were the pistols that were drawn, and hap oy the result that not a one of them was fired. Kow there will naturally be a variety of stories about the encounter between Governor Evans aud Gen. Earle, as well tn the effect of several of the t*h "jhes. Without any Intention of doing auy one an injustice, or mixing up the facts, they will be given just KS they were seen or understood from those best able to de tail the matters, for in the excitement of the moment it was difficult to see every thing. Naturally the chief excitement and the most sensational and dramatio incident of the campaign up to this time was the encounter between Governor Evans and Judge Ear e. It will DH remembered that at previous meetings Judge Earle bad warned Gov ernor Evans not to make any personal reflections on him, or to use any improp er language, and il be did so it would be it bis peril. Governor Evans at each such warning took occasion to say that he would say whatever ho pleased, and as s sequence to th's there occurred to-day the first personal eneounter'iu the tour nanipaigns that have occurred since State .atnpaigning between candidates began. Both men did what they promised, and .wcasioned thereby a very considerable disturbance. Judge Earle spoke first, and in the course of bis remarks said nothing about his antagonist, hut dealt entirely with na tional issues. When Governor Evans be <an to speak there was a C"ll< quy be tween himself and Judge Earle about ??ertain questions that were asked at the Lancaster meeting, the issue arising through a controversy as to who started the campaign on tho decline. This con troversy, Involving tho reading of affida vits, and a rather harsh tone between the two candidates, was temporarily settled without blows. Later on Governor Evans bad occasion to speak of the Till man letter, and went on to say that bis opponents were stating what position Tillman had taken or would take, aad that the day before he bad gotten the let ter one of bis opponents bad talked about Tillman, and said that he was bands off in the fight, but that tho day be got the letter nuthing was f-aid about this, and 'ben he went on to say : "They are going ?round here like fice dogs, witb their tails cut." Judge Earle was seated just about a man's length from Governor Evans, who was speaking from the slight elevation In front of the Judge's stand. Just as the words "like fica dogs with their tails ont" came out Gen. Earle jumped up, ?ind facing Governor Evans, butsti'lon che main floor, said: "Now, Governor, that's going ton far," and walking up a itep or two, with one foot on the eleva ron leading to Governor EvanB, said to him, looking bim t-quarely in the faee: "Po you refer to me?" Governor Evans, with a little wave of the band, said: ' Now, General, I wasn't hurting you." or something like that. Judge Earle wanted no mistake about '.he matter, and ?aid: "What did you mean." And Governor Evans, still look ing at him, said* "I meant just what I said; that you and Duncan aro going around like two little fice dogs." If Governor Evans intended to say any thing further there was no chanco for it, 'or with that Geo. Earle deliberately put himself in position, drew back bis arm. . \od let it ont'at Governor Evans' bead -vUh alt the force that he had. Governor Evans dodged, and if the blow struck bim it was on the head or back, but not in the face. Governor Evans struck back while still bending, and hit Gen. Earle. In an instant fifty people around were op and all was excitement. Sheriff Scarborough and two or three other people got ahead of Judge Earle and pinned bis arms to his side, and Chairman McCall and others pulled Governor Evans to one side. In less time than it takes to say it the two men were several feet apart. Governor Evans was standing on the elevation without any bruises, and pale with ex citement, while facing him was bis ad versary with a sharp blow on the left cheek bone. The biood was trickling down the side of Judge Earle's face, but this was of apparently no concern to him, for he was there ready for tbe next move. Of course both men had their friends there, but at the instant that the blow was struck it appeared that there wero more of Governor Evans' friends about than those of Judge Eurie, but within a min ute there were a dozen of Judge Earle's friends about bim. There was a great to do about it, and quite a number of the oarty seemed to want to get into a fight but ibero was more talking than anything else. Several of Governor EvanB' lriends were crying out that they were ready and willing to tight it out. Several of the hot heads in the crowd drew their pistols while others did not draw them, but made ready to do BO. The reporters' stand was within a few feet of the scene of combat, and it was but an instant before men began trampling over their papers and persons. When tba first shock was over the cool headed men in the audience, and around the combatants, cried for everyone to sit dowD, but everyone didn't Bit down, but kept on threatening to tight and hurrah ing for their favorite. The friends of Governor Evans seemed to get the notion ibat after the fight it was an effort to keep bim from speakiog, bot no one seemed to have auy sucb Idea, and a few minutes Hfter the blows bad been passed Judge Earle, with the blood still on bis face, mounted a chair and cried out, "This thiug is all over, and let everybody sit down, and I am sorry for lt." A minute or two afterwards Governor Evans cried out to his friends that if'bey were friends of bis to Bit down and be quiet, as the fight was ali over. By the concerted efforts of some of the leading men in the crowd something like peace was restored, and Governor Evans began to speak again, but was interrupt ed and bad to desist for a few minutes, until the friends of each of the candidates bad given several more cheers for their friends. 8ome> comment was made on the fact that Detective Newbold was one ef the first on the scene. At the time of the en counter be was in the audience, but was quick to come to the front, and while see iaa lo his friends urged them to be quiet and sic down. It was stated, and might be mentioned as a matter of information, that there were four State constables in the audience, or in the city. They did not, however, take any part in the fight. Judge Earle, and quite a number of others, nre confident that the blow on Earle's face, from which the blood came, was not inflicted by Governor Evans, but came from a young man who was stand ing at the side ot Judge Eirle. Governor Evan?, however, is confident that he struck Judge Earle, and that h more than likely, for it appears that there might have been two blows, or possibly three, as there was a slight redness be tween the eyebrows, as well as at tho sido of the ear, and any one of these three blows may have been received from Gov ernor Evans, and the others from out siders, or all from the outsiders. Governor Evans went on with his speech after this without reference to the en counter, and Judge Earle was surround ed by his friends aud escorted into an ante-room, where the abrasion on his face was treated with arnica, or some such preparation. There were many around in the audience who seemed to expect further trouble, and who no doubt would have liked it, but after the meeting the participants went to tho hotel. The encounter stands for itself, and people will have to judge for themselves whether Judge Earle or Governor Evans WEB justified in the course taken. Tbat is a matter for everyone to judge in bis own way. That is whether a man in such a campaign as this is prepared to bo li kened to a Seo dog, and whether, after warning, it should be resented. The Governor Above tho Law. FLORENCE, July 25.-The pugilistic en counter between Judge Joseph H. Earle and Governor John Gary Evans before an audience of Florence people, and in fact on the rostrum, where the Circuit Judge, as it were, sits upon the Bench t-> bold the scales of justice, has been the topio of conversation from one end of our city to the other to-day. It was a discraceful scene and Florence will, of course, be made to suffer for John Garv Evans' face being punched by Judge Earle's left band. The row was started at Lancaster ann" Lancaster is the place where the fisticuff should have been "pulled off." Regarding tho arrest of Judge Earle and the attempt to arrest Governor Evans the Florence Times of to-day publishes the following interview between Mayor W. H. bay and Chief of Police George S. lorbeville : Yesterdav afternoon upon an affidavit signed by Chief of Police G. S. Trrbevilie, a warrant was issued against Governor Evans and Judge E*rle, the partiel cants in the fracas at the Court House. Judge Earle was found in bis mom at the Cen tral Hotel, tb? warrant wa* served, and he deposited 910 for his appearance this morning. There was come question as to the right of the town to arrest the Governor, but acting under the advice of the city attor ney the mayor instructed the chief ol police to serve the warrant. The service was made, bot the Governor treated it with contempt and refused to be arrested. He went to the depot to take the afternoon train for Columbia, and there had sn interview with Mayor W. H. Day. The matter was not urged and Governor Evans boarded the train. Capt Day and Chief Turbeville were seen this morning, and, as a result, exact ly what passed between ench of them and tbe Governor is given below : Chier Turbeville said : "I served the warrant on tho Governor and he refused to be arrested. Be de clined to recognizo the warrant and gave as bis reasons for so doing that he was the Chief Executive officer of th? State, that I was a State officer acting under him as much so as any of his constables, and that the only way to reach him would be through impeachment. Ha said that he considered it a great insult, and told me to take the warrant back and tell Capt. Day that he would take charge ot bim and the town. Others were present and beard what passed." Capt. Day said : "I told Governor Evans that I was sorry that it had become necessary to issue the warrant ; that I was acting un der tbe advice of our city counsel, and tba!, there was no spite on the part of any of toe city officials. G ?vernor Evans said that under tbe law I bad no power to ar rest him, and that if the lawyers so ad vised it they know very little about the law on this subject, or words to that effect. He said that be supposed it was spite work. I told him lt was not; that we were doing our duty and that nobody had any spite against bim " Capt. Day said furthermore : "I did not urge the arrest because I wanted to act as conservatively as possible. I did no want the citizens to suffer from any in discreet action on my part. The Gover nor said that I bad no' legal right to arrest bim, and he, hiing a lawyer, some doubt was created in my mind. I did not know exactly where I stood. Though I was advised by the city attorney I thought that possibly be, having made a hasty examination and naturally under some excitement, may have been mistaken. I was in great doubt and preferred to err on the side of prudence." Capt. Day, when asked what would be done, said : "If there is any chance under i the law to bring bim to justice as any other offender we will do it." Capt. Day said in addition that he was asked by citizens of Florence to withdraw the warrant, but he did not do it. Cipe Day said furthermore that he made no apology to the Governor, a? has been erroneously reported. Cnief Turbeville said in counection with Judge Earle'? arrest : "I went to his room at the hotel. He said : 'I give up, I am guilty,' before I had shown him the warrant. I told bim he would have to put up $10 for his ap pearance before the mayor. He said : 'Ii I do not appear, what tben ?' I told bim his |10 would be forfeited. 'AU right,' aaid be " Last night Judge Earle's ?10 wa? offered to him, but ho refused to take it saying that he was gnilty. People from the country have express ed themselves freely on the subject. One farmer said that both should be arrested ; that he would have nothing more to di. with the town If something were not done in this case.-News and Courier. A Fight to the Finish. Columbia State, July 24. The second day's session of the State Farmer's Alliance waa held yesterday and everything was pushed along so that a final adjournment was reached by 2 p. m. The most important action taken wa?, in regard to tbe fight against the cotton tie trust. The South Carolina Alliance bas, as expected, taken tho initiative in s big fight which will doubtless spread rapidly throughout the cotton belt. While, owing to the fact that it is ne cessary to keep the Alliance free from politics, no direct endorsement was given tbe National Democratic ticket, a resolu tion was adopted endorsing the address of President Keitt, in which he thorough ly endorsed Bryan and Sewall. No en dorsement could have been stronger. A leading member of tbe Alliance stated that every man in attendance waa for the ticket of the National Democracy, and he did not know of a single exception. Tbe members all left-for their homes on the evening trains. When the Alliance met at 10 o'clock yesterday morning and tbe usual opening exercises had boen held, the annual ?leo tion of officers took place. Mr. Joseph L. Keitt was unanimously re-elected president, Hon J. C. Wi I born Was re elected vice president and State Lecturer J. W. Reid was unanimously re-elected secretary and treasurer. Dr. J. L. Shuter of Lexington, was elected a member ot the executive committee to succeed E. R Walter, of Orangeburg, who declined re election on account of his health. President Keitt was elected delegate to the National Alliance. Tbe special committee appointed at the opening aesalon to look into th? matter ot tbe tight against the cotton tie*:-trust sub mitted the following report Which was unanimously adopted: ~ 7. Whereas, the manufacturersand whole sale dealers in cotton ties have advanced prices of ties about 95 per cent, over last season's, while the market - price of steel only justifies an advance of 10 per cent., thus furnishing us with another evidence that this is a day of trusts and combines against all producers ; and, Whereas, suitable wire can be had at a cost of 12 cents per bale, against 28 cents per bale for ties, thus affecting a saving ot 1G cents per bale on the crop which * mounts to a saving to this State alone ot $128,000 on one year's crop; therefore, be it Resolved. Tbat we ask all alliaocemen and farmers interested in the bailing ot cotton in this State and the cotton States to co-operate with us in breaking down this new formed trust by placing their orders at once for wire, to be used instead of ties in bailing the present crop of cot ton. And your committee further recom mend that our State business agent be re quested to at once obtain information as to the supply and cost cf using this wire as a substitute for iron ties and report to all sub-Alliances and that our ageut also be directed to correspond with the agencie? of the other Southern States.

WILLIAMS, Acting Chairman State B jard of Con trol. Butter in Ulass. A new method of packing butter for market, as described by an Australian newspaper, ls that of packing it in glHBS boxf s. Each "box" is made of six sheets or panes of ordinary glass, all the edges of which are carefully covered with gum med paper. The box so made is thnn en veloped in a layer of plaster of Paris, a quarter of an inch thick, and this is c>v ured with specially prepared paper. The pl? ? ter and paper being bad conductors of heat, the temperature of the butter inside the hermetically sealed package remains constant, being unaffected by external changes. The merits of the invention are best shown perhaps in the statement that but ter packed in this wav bas been shipped from Melbourne to Cape Town, Africa, and thence 700 miles to Kimberley, and OD reaching its destination *'was found to ho CB sound as when it left the factory." Cases are rn?de, it is explained, to hold *s much as 200 pounds of butter each, and the factory employs forty bands, mostly boys and girls, in making the glass recep tacles and covering them with plaster. The cost of packing is about 2 cent? per pound of butter, and a paving of 25 per cent OD freight and packing is claimed in comparUon with the cost of frozen butter carried in the usual way. This short account of this device and ita advantages may interest some of the country merchants and prodnce dealers in these parts who have been so much ex ercised over the question of packing but ter in the interior for shipment to market at Charleston end elsewhere, andover thc sudden and losing change in quality which it usually experiences in transit. Tf butter can be shipped two or three thousand miles on the other side of the globe without acquiring new and undo sirable flavors, and retain its consistency, as well, and that without the use ot ice, and at a saving in the cost of freight and packing, it should be practicable for it to be shipped a hundred miles on this side ot tbd ?lot J, under the Bame favorable c nditions, to the advantage and delight ot ail concerned. That is to say all except the transporta tion companies. Toe suggestion of such .V development of the butter industry and trade in this region as will involve the handling of hundreds of "glass boxes" daily on these lines, is enough to cause our esteemed railroad and express friends m experience "cold chills down the spine of their backs" even in this fei vent bwt ? - melting weather. It will be interesting to all our butter-making and handling friends at any rate to learn that they can "keep" butter indefinitely in good shape and condition, without ice. by simply packing ir- in glass and hermetically seal ing it. This discovery should lead 'o im portant results.-News and Courier. The Coming State Fair. COLUMBIA, July 24.-The indications are that the next annual State Fair, to be held in November, will be a grand suc cess. The Society ls in a better financial condit'on this year than it bas been in a number of years. Those connected witb the association havelanored industriously for a grand Fair for '06 and now that the management of the Society is out of poli tics and the Legislature has appropriated ?2,400 as a starter, there is every reason to believe the Fair will be largely attended, and that the farmers all over the y tate will take au active interest in the welfare of the Society. The railroads have not definitely decid ed on the rate for the '06 Fair, but the Fair authorities are in communication with the roads and thev reply that a rate ...an not be fixed until about two montait before the Fair. The chances are that the same rate as was given last year will be granted tor this Fair. In a letter from Hecretary Thomas W. Holloway, of the Sooiety, to Treasurer George tl. Huggins, of Columbia, the sec retary says: "The premium list of the approaching 3tate Fair tobe held November0 to 13 ?s now ready to be mailed to all who may apply for a copy. It is to be hoped that the demand f> r copies will commence at once, so as to give ample time for ex hibitors to get their exhibits ready. ?n > rv sheets will also be furbished when de sired. "It bas bren a hard struggle with the grand old Society to survive the past four years, but the people of the State are in better condition financially, socially and politically, strong hopes are entertained that the bitterness throughout the State bas in a measure passed away, and that henceforth all may become harmonious again and that happiness may reign su preme and that prosperity may be en joyed by all our peope. "Tbe Fair next November promises to be unusually successiul. Stalls are al ready engaged for ?-tock. Sales of live >?tock on the grounds at auction will be ..ne of the interesting features of the Fair. Notice has been given of quite a number of standard-bred horses to oe sold at auc tion, of a class of as well bred as any where in the country. The large sales at the approaching Kair practically transfers tbOBalesdays in Kentucky and Tennessee of thorough and well-bred horses to Co lumbia, S. C. It is the intention of breed ers to continue such sales from year to year, until the improvement in the stock w II be found in the hands of every humble farmer in the Statte. "The bsll hau been started and when the Fair opens all are cordially invited to give their presence to the occasion. Not alone for pecuniary advantages let the Fair be upheld, but let the social feature be another reason for bringing together the largest attendance of visitojs ever seen on any occas'on in our State. "The managers feel assured that the press of the State will give their readers frequent notices of the Fair. That tbis will be done there is no doubt, as the press is regarded as the embodiment of patriotism and progress, and may bo re lied upon to do its full duty in promoting the industrial development of the State."
