Anderson Intelligencer. PUBLZSmU) EVERY WEDNESDAY. J. P. CLINK SC ALES, [ EDITORS AND C. C. LANGSTON, J PROPRIETORS . TEEMS: ONE YEAR.?1 50. SIX MONTHS . 75 WEDNESDAY, AUG. 19, 1896. THE STATE CAMPAIGN MEETING. After a tour of all tho Counties of the State save one, the State campaign party reached Anderson last Monday, and with one or two exceptions, all the candidates who are anxious to serva the people in State of?ce3 and the six-year term as United States Senator, had their say to an Anderson audience of about six hun dred people. The meeting was conceded by all the candidates to have been one of the most orderly held during this cam paign in the" State. To those who have read the reports of all the other meetings, there was nothing new presented by the speakers. ] It was simply a repetition ol "the Old stories. There were very few in terruptions from the audience and very little enthusiasm manifested. All the speakers had a patient hearing, and we doubt if a dozen votes were changed by what either of them said. About 10:30 o'clock the sweet strains of music from the Anderson Cornet Band were heard on the Court House Square. Stylish carriages were drawn up in front of tho Hotel Chiquola, and in a short time the reception committee had them filled with the candidates, who were carried to the grove ia the Blue Ridge Railroad yard. At ll o'clock Chairman John E. Brea zsale called the assembly to order and in vited R9V. A. C. Wilkins to cher prayer. In opening the meeting Chairman Brea zsale said he hoped the people would hear the speakers discuss the issues patiently and quietly and that there would be no personalities indulged in. He felt sure the people of Anderson County, as they had always done in the past, would con duct themselves in a becoming manne? and treat all the speakers with all the courtesy and respect duo them. He an nounced that the candidates for Governor ? would be heard first-, and introduced Mr. Whitman who was the only one present. Mr. Whitman said he had run all of his opponentsoff the field, that they had given up the fight and gone home. He had pulled the skin off the old "SwamD Fox" (Ellerbe) and there was nothing" lett ot him. He was sure to be the next Gover nor of South Carolina and his opponents knew it. He said he was one of the original Reformers and the only true one in existences now. Tillman had fallen from grace and retired. The Reformers had built a new ring on the ruins of the old ring, and the pap suckers and camp followers had ruined the Reform party. Some of the State and County officers think they own the State and the Reform movement. Tillman could not carry out his pledges to the people because he was tied down by thev leaders, some of whom were scoundrels and robbers. He was opposed to the State selling whiskey and -that the Dispensary law was a humbug. He was also opposed to collegiate educa tion by the Staut. Mr. Whitman's speech caused an occasional laugh and betook his seat without a cheer. Mr. Mr. R. Cooper, candidate for lieu tenant Governor, said he was in the Re form movement in 1SSS. His hearers bad heard the Dispensary and other State is sues discussed, and he would leave them alone. He proposed to discuss himself, which he did thoroughly. He told what he had done for the great movement as a member of the Constitutional Convention and a delegate ti> the Chicago Convention He spoke of his opponent as being a newspaper man,, the newspapers' candi date and a member of the ''subsidized press." His speech was full of big I's. Col. M. B. Mcsweeney, the opponent of Mr. Cooper, was next introduced. He spoke of the great pleasure it gave him to meet the good people of Anderson, and said he appeared before them as a candi date for .Lieutenant Governor, a position of no profit but one of hbnor. He was surprised to hear of his opponent allud ing to the press of South Carolina as the subsidized pres. ?. He was proud of the endorsement of his brother editors, re gardless of factional lines. He had serv ed them as President of the State Press Association for several years, and they knew him. While he had been identified with the Reform movement since its in ception, he had received the unanimous endorsement ol' both factions in his County. Ee had represented his people in various positions-the Legislature, t?e Constitutional Convention-aud.tho Chica go Convention-and had always done his rtuly to the best of his ability. He waa runniDg for the position on his merit and not as a coat tail swinger. He hoped the day was near at hand when all factional strife would ceas e in South Carolina. The speaker then branched off on national is sues, and told of some of the great bene fits that the people would derive from the election of Bryan and Sewall. Eis speech was in striking contrast to that of hi* op ponent. At the conclusion of Col. McS weeney's speech, Gen. Earrison, of Greenville, can didate for Governor, appeared on the stand, having just arrived on the 12:15 train, and was introduced. Gen. Harri son said he hud not been run off the track, for he expected to be elected Gov ernorjjf_South Carolina, and he would ~confine his speech to the discussion ol . State issues. He said taxes had not been reduoed, though taxable property had been increased ?20,000 iu recent years. There was too much extravagance in Stats affairs. Then he took up the Clem son Coliego matters and explained his vi9Wsofhow things could be more eco nomically run. That institution receiv ed more money than was necessary, and that the phosphate tax shouid go directly to the general Ireasury, where it was needed. He nex I took up the Dispensa ry law, and said it could tn greatly im proved. The last Legislature had made somo steps in that direction, but the law could yet bo greatly improived. As to profits on liquor his plan would leave it to every " mnty whether it wanted profits or not, or whether it would sell liquor at all. He favored doing aw3y with the cumbersome and expensive machinery in Columbia. Tho constabulary force should also be done away with. The Sheriffs, Deputy Sheriffs and Magistrate's Constables, with a littie more pay, could enforce the law, and the Grand Jury ol each County coui'.d do the work of the Boards of Control. Cheap liquor, he ; thought, was the best thing with which to fight "blind tigers" and "moonshin ers." He wanted the office of Governor because ho felt able to perform the duties satisfactorily to the whole people. The candidates for United States Sena tor were next on the program, and Mr J. T. Duncan was introduced as the first speaker. Mr. Duncan said he was before the people seeking the position of United States Senator. He told of the various positions in which he had served the peo ple of his County. They knew his re cord, and he was proud to say that it had never been assailed. In national affairs the people were almost united, and a grand victory awaited the Democracy ia November. Ho was opposed to Na tional Banks, the single gold standard, etc., but it was useless to discuss these is sues. Asa Reformer he felt it his duty to discuss the condition of South Caroli na to-day. He knew the farmers' needs JggrJiejvasJborn and reared on the farm, and was better fitted to represent their in terests in the Senate than either of his opponents. He had not uttered a false hood against his opponents. Thought Earle's candidacy unfortunate, as he stood no chanco whatever of being eleo ted. Earle did not: mount the stump un til the eleventh meeting, and under the rules of the Democratic party was not le gitimately in the race, as he had not filed his pledge for several hours after the time required. He" and Earle could discusa matters without the least feeling. As to his other opponent; he regretted that he had to show him up. Because he had en dorsed Evans two years ago, did not re quire him to support him further in his rascality. Some people do not like to hear the truth. Here the speaker read a paragraph from the House Journal of 1888. and said from that record it waa shown that Evans was fighting the farm ers and their cause. Evans would say this was ancient history, and when mod ern history was produced his opponent claimed it was too fresh. Evans had abused Haskellism, but had voted with Haskell on many measures against the interests of the masses. Evans had voted against Tillman's candidate-Y. J. Pope - for the position of Judge on the Supreme Bench. At Greenville Evans said as soon as he got in the Senate he was going to pitchfork t?imonton. All Evans could do was to maka extravagant promises. Evans said he was going to make Tillman President, but had failed in that as in ev erything else he undertook to do. Evans needs help, and if he had se conducted himself as he ought to have done, he would deserve it. Evans had denied re ceiving any of tho bond commissions, but (Joally admitted, after it had been brought out iu a Maryland Court, that ho was go iDg to get a fee. After referring to Till man's position and tho Mixon mattor, he presented a paper and asked Gov. Evaus to sigu it. Evans, he said, would not'sign the paper for the simple reason that Mixou would show him up at once. At this juncture the Chairman notified the speak er that his time was up. Calls from the audience for "more time," "go on" were made, but Mr. Duncan said, injustice to those who were follow him, ho could not do so. He concluded by saying that all he had said about Evans would at no dis tant day be proven by scores of witnesses and the people would then realize that he had told the truth. Gov. Evans followed Mr. Duncan, and said before proceeding to the discussion of any of the issues, he desired to make a personal statement. He then referred to what he had said about Col. J. D. Max well, of this city, at the Florence meeting, in reference to Dispensary insurance, and said he had dono the gentleman a great injustice and cheerfully retracted every word he had uttered. The speaker then referred to Duncan's speech, and said the latter had related the same old story, but had not yet produced no proof ol the charges. The" people knew facts and proofs, and would pav no attention .to dirty insinuations. Duncan had sup ported him for Governor two years ago, because he thought "I was Ben Tillman's candidate." After indulgingin consider able sarcasm, the Governor got warmed up, and said he was willing to stand by his record in the Legislature and its Journal. Hoped Duncan had read it through. He was proud of his record. The boys knew him, and knew he had always stood by them in the middle of the road. He voted for Wallace and would do so again under the same cir cumstances. Pope was his friend and had no hard feelings against him. He be lieved the Governor ought to be a mem ber of every State Board created by the Legislature, as he was chief executive and could better serve the people, as he would then be familiar with all the work of the State Government. He said he had been employed by Rhind as an attorney in refunding the State bonds. Rhind had succeeded in placing the bonds after numbers of others had failed. Here Gov. Evans read a letter from Ben. Tillman to Duncan, a copy of which, he said, had been sent to him. Continuing his re marks, the speaker said he, like Tillman, had been charged with many crimes, but would answer no questions from stich a man as Duncan., There had never been an agreement what his fee in the bond matter would be. He hoped he wculd receive ?15,000. If he did he would buy Duncan a new suit of clothes. He de nied having any conference with conser vatives in Charleston. Ho had answer ed all charges against him. When facts were brought up he would meet them. But this line of talk, he said, was not the speech of a statesman, and he would leave it. He spoke of the demands of the Alli ance, and said he had helpjed the Dsmoc racy of South Carolina to adopt them. The National Democracy bad now adopt ed the same platform. He denounced Cleveland and Simonton, and said that that the first measure he would advocate after he got to Washington would be to impeach the scoundrels from the United States Courts and drive the thieves out of the nation's capital. The farmers were doing their own thinking, and would not >. swap their votes as had been done in for mer years. He received some applause as he took his seat. Judge Earle was introduced next. He said he felt at home when he appeared befora an Anderson audience. He was a native of both Greenville and Anderson Counties, for it was here that he had won the heart and hand of his better half, and it always gave him great pleasure to meet the people of this County. He appeared before them to-day as "a candidate for United State3 Senator. He was the can didate of no particular man nor of the newspapers, but was seeking the position on his merits. He was a truo reformer, and favored all laws that benefited the people. When Tillman was nominated in 1890 he advised the people to support bim. For this he had* been denounced , by some of his best friends, He was be fore the people now as asimple Demo erat. He was opposed to unjust criticism but the people nad a right to demand of auy o iii jinl at any time au explanation of bis acts as a public officer. He had at a former meeting propounded certain questions, by request, to one of his oppo nents. He did it respectfully, and at the time stated that he was not at liberty tn give the name of the author of the ques tions. To-day he would name the gen tleman, who was Mr. J. B. Douthir, of this city, who was nowa member of the State Board of Control Mr. Douthit was responsible for these questions and was present to provo what had been denied by his opponent. Had he known that the canvass would have descended to the low plane it had been conducted on, he would have never been a candidate. He knew nothing of the bond deal or whis key rebates, and had nothing to say about them. The Dispensary law was a good law, but the people asked for a fish and were given a stone. The law was now a political machine, and if no Improve ments were made in it, he believed the people would soon cry it down. Ho re gretted the little incident that bad hap pened at Florence. The Piedmont Head light had recently published an article in reference to him, which he denounced as alie. As to the enforcement of the Dis pensary law, moro convictions had been seoared bet?re him than before any other presiding Judge in the State. The people of Anderson knew "bis record in that re spect. From what Duncan had said, he doubtless had made a great mistake in not going to him and asking his permis sion to be a candidate. He had served the people for four years prior to 1890 as Attorney General, and no ehargo had been preferred against him. He had al ways been an exponent of Democracy, and bad a right to seek any office in the gift of tho people. He wanted to see the white people of tho State once more uni ted, and peace, happiness and prosperity prevail everywhere. The people of An derson County had no rope around their necks. They* were too intelligent to bo dictated to by any one man or sot of men. The speaker then launched out on na tional issues and ably discussed the mon ey and and tariff ^questions. He said Bryan's speech in Now York was a sec ond declaration of independence, and ho would sweep the country. Ile was just getting deep into these questions when the Chairman notified him that his time was up. Voices from the audience: "Give him more time I" "That's good Alliance talk -we want to hear moro of it." The Judge was applauded as he took his seat. The next speakers were the candidates for Adjutaut and Inspector Genera", John Gary Watts and B. N. Kichbourg, who were allowed ton minutes each to present their claims for the office. The candidates for State Superintendent of Educatiou, Mr. T. Chris. Robinson, of Pickens, and W. D. Mayfield, of Green ville, were noxt heard from in the order named. By this time the crowd had dwindled down to a few dozen, and these gentlemen did not have much to enthuse thein. They consumed 15 minutes each. They were both Reformersaud advocated about the same measures. Mr. Mayfield has filled the office for six years, and aa he advocated rotation in ofiice in 1890, Mr. Robinson thought it time to make a change and he wanted tho position, for he felt he could discharge tba duties effi ciently and faithfully. At the conclusion of Mr. Mayfield's speech, Chairman Breazeale thanked the audience for their patient hearing and the good order maintained and adjourned the meeting. The Anderson Cornet Band inter spersed sweet musio throughout the meeting, which was appreciated by all present. lu this report we have given only a brief synopsis of the speeches and we have done our best to make it fair and impar tial. The meeting turned out as wo hoped lt would-peaceably and orderly. Col. M. B. Mcsweeney, tue genial edi tor of the Hampton Guardian, who is a candidate for Lieutenant Governor, is receiving the unanimous endorsement of his brother editors, without regard to faction, throughout the State, and we, like the others, would be more than pleased to seo him nominated for the po sition he aspires to. From a personal acquaintance with him for a number of years we can commend him to the voters of Anderson $?punty as a most worthy, high-toned goutlemau. Though identi fied with the Reformers, he has always received the unanimous support ol both factions in his County, which is certainly a high compliment to him. The Edgefield Advertiser, a red-hot Tillmanite paper, says John Gary Evans will not get the votes of the Reformers of that County. Public office is a public trust, theroforo a public officer is an acting trustee of the peopia. The people commit certain things to him and he is accountable for his ac tions to them. His obligations are aa binding as steel, as confidence and trust aro placed in him and as he is relied upon by those who made him a trustee. s COMPARE THESE STATEMENTS; Thc following i' the lefter written by Col. J D Maxwell in reference to the in surance mutier, and which was read at the Flore ace.meeting : Anderson, S. C., July 2d, 1896. Elon. Joseph Ii. Earle, Greenville, S C. : Dear Sir-I have been requested to give you the following facts in reference to tbe insurance of the dispensarj at this place : Tue entire risk had been placed, at the opening up of the dispensary, in Ander son, in my agency of the London and Liv erpool aud Globe Insurance Co. at 2 per cent., being the Southeastern Tariff Asso ciation rate on saloons in that location Tho said Southeastern Tariff Associa tion, on the 24th November, 1S94, issued the enclosed slip, which explains itstlf, aad.on the ieceipt of same I gave notice to our dispenser that I would renew the iEiSuranca at li per cent. Did not got the renewal, but was informed ihat the busi ness had beeu placed, by the State Board of Control at Columbia, in Mr. li. B. Evans' agency, at the old rate of 2 per cent. Very respectfully. (Signed) J. D MAXWELL. The following is the language used by Gov. Evans in refer ?ice to the aoove let ter, as reported by the daily prc3i of the State : "Why did not that thiofwbo had been getting from the State 12 of 1 percent more on insurance than it was worth, not inform the authorities of it before he was about to lose the.insurance?'' "Governor Evans said these people at tempt to break him down with the testi mony of a man who convicts himself of stealing 1 2 of 1 per cent, of this insurance money." Here is ,Gov. Evans' statement of what he said at Florence, and hi* apology to Col. Maxwell: 1 Fellow citizens," said Gov. Evan?, ''be fore proceeding I wish to make a state ment. At Florence, I Btated in reference to some insurance of the dispensary in Anderson, that if the agent of the company -Mr. Maxwell-after he received notice of his company that dispensaries could be Insured tur cheaper rate3 and failed to do BO, that Mr. Maxwell had robbed the State of the difference. Mr. Maxwell assures me to day that it was not in his power to make the reduction before he notified the dispenser of his willingness to do so. "I desire to say here, in justice to Mr. Maxwell, he not having it in bis power to make the reduction, that any words of in justice of mine, I retract here in tho pres ence of his people. I never did any man a wrong knowingly. If it is brought to my attention that I have doneany man an injustice, I have the manhood to acknowl edge it." . Read the let'.er, read the charge?, and then read the statement and apology. No comment is necessary. Ananias could not have done a better job. Vote for Righteons Men. Fellow Citizens of Anderson County : There is an untold amouut of nonest conviction asleep down in the dormito ries of your hearts unutilized-dead cap ital which ought to be invested in speech and action for the public welfare in the present political campaigu. It is a moral responsibility to be a citizen of a groat State. We ought now, courageously, to assert our convictions in behalf of truth and righteousness against dishonesty, in trigue and scurrility in high places. We bave beguiled ourselves in the past by voting partizan tickets, without thinking of the moral element involved in it. We have satisfied ourselves with the-tact and managing skill of the nominee for public office without demanding the "higher qualification of moral character. Gentlemen, can we possibly run a safe government without political righteous ness in those whom we put at the wheels? Can we wisely lay our morality and re ligion on the shelf at home v/hen we go to a campaign platform or a voting pre cinct? As much as to say, this business is ours, that is God's. We must accept the sovereignty of God over Skates as well as over individuals. We must ac cept divine sovereignty here, or get out of the way and out of the world. God reigns here by original, unchallenged ano eternal right, and we forfeit our right to honorable citizenship and safe govern ment when we leave out of our voting and our personal influence the indispen sable element ol moral weight and pure character. I don't mean to say that you ought to carry your theological views into your politics, or even to say that a candidate should De a professor of reli gion ; but I mean to say that all morality runs up for its highest sanction to Al mighty God, and that there is no other morality on the earth than that which God planted originaliy in the human constitution. Gentlemen, ought we to bo willing to subject our sous and daughters to the corrupting influence of immoral charac ters iu high places? Does not the honor of the position varnish over the scanda lous, that is in it, and seemingly diminish the ugliness of iniquity ? Will it not sophisticate and corrupt young people to entice them to excuse respectable : as ea! ny ? Not only for tbe good of the State, bqt for the Batety and purity of our children, we are bound to cant an honest and cour ageous vole, the highest franchise of free men. It is a critical time with us at pres ent. A. careless regard to the moral and decent qualities ol' government runs at once into blustering socialism, which is nothing but semi*anarchism. And an archism is a catching disease. Shamed virtue retires, and howling confusion carries the day. The tendencies of tho time were exhibited recently at the Coop er Institute, New York, when a womau (?) harangued a vast crowd applauding with anarchistic outcries. Order is nature's first law, and it must be man's il he v/ould stay here. Lat the mao, the citi zen and the Christian, the "highest type of man," carry his manhood with him into the political campaigu and to the polls, and refuse to be dictated to by par tizau nominations. If the election fails, let it fail. We'll try again. lt would seem to be almost useless to lift up a weak appeal in the midst of a thousand strong voices ou the intermina ble questions of bi-metallism and mono metaliatu ; but, gentlemen, we are trying to legislate what the natural laws of trade, of good sense and mutual interest will regulate. Wo have got into a mess by In troducing into trade a legitimated right eousness to supplement God's righteous ness, and we are confused. Let us get out of this mess-not mesh-thrown over us by some other, but our own neg lect, and forsaking the grand, eternal laws of purity, honesty aud good faith. Let us as individual meu hold our self respect, and behave under tbe dictates of a pure conscience. Let the sound sense of the couutry assert itself, aud iusert it into the government, and God will bring order out ol' confusion. D. E. P. Alice Items.

Their kind acts shall never be forgotten, aud may God reward them is my prayer. J. P. Tom. Help Hie Orphans. Tho Thornwell Orphanage, located in Clinton, South Carolina, is just now in need of hrend to supply its largo family of one hundred and fifty. A barrel of flour will feed one person for a year. Surely there are in the State very many who could afford to ship to that Institution one barrel of Hour or rice or syrup, or at least a sack of meal, to provide for at least one child. This institution is most liberal in its dealings with the fatherless. It is in no sense local, only one child from Clinton ever having been in the Orphanage. Its orphans are from every Southern State. Though Presbyterians are in control, more children are in the institution, to-day, of Baptist and Methodist parentage than ol Presbyterian. It was the pioneer institu tion to refuse logal control over its orphan wards, preferring to restrain them by the power of love than of bars and bolts. It educates its pupils liberally and sends them out qualified to oare for themselves, and hence does not, and does not need, to bind them out. It needs aid because it is endowed only with the love of a charitable people, be cause it refuses to receive any orphan able to pay any part of its own expenses, mak ing the absolute dependence of tho child a pre-requisite for admission. Two Cottages are now going up, both built by Northern friends of this Southern institution, and so the family will be in creased to 150 or 100 in the early fall. Who can refuse to help? Send gifts to Thornwell Orphanage, Clinton, 8. C., or to Rev. Dr, Jacobs, President. Mrs. L9aae, the noted female politician of Kansas, waa in New York the other day and in a talk with a newspaper re porter she said: "Tom "Watson is a silly, great, big, erratic schoolboy; Tillman ia a miserable wretch; Bryan is fearless and indepondont, and as for Sevrai!, h?'s a splendid unselfish man." Rumors havo it that Queen Victoria will abdicate. We do not belidve there is any truth in it. We could as easily be lieve that some South Carolina office holder was going to resign. Royalty and officeholders die, but resign-never! The country would be in a fine pickle if the existence and term of the United States Supreme Court 'depended on dom inant political parties. The constitution builders aro decidedly wiser than platform builders. LATfMER'S RECORD. One ot His Count lt nen tn Cur* Tully and Analytically Revises it. EDITOR OF COLUMBIA REGISTEH : The Tot rs of the Third Congressional District will Boon have un opportunity to cast their ballots for th- ir . crt Representative In Congress. Ii I? woll rememb?r cd by all who ard familiar with the politics of the dav, what wan i aid of our present Bepre?enUtive la Congress (Hon. A. C. Lat IBO er) by the antl-Rc hrm press of th? State immediately after he was de clared the noni into of th . Democratic party in 1892. i twas ope ly asserted that he was unfit io represent the Third Ctngre si nal District ia Congr SB, and bein; the candidate of .the farmers he v.03 styled as an "ignoramus." Thia, together with rainy other exprtss ona of a similar nature, which need Lot be repeated here, were circulated on all sides, endeavoring to weaken his hoM on tb'people who had elected him. But instead of h .vl:og the desired effect, lt strengthened him wita his constituency and he was returned to Congress a rec>nd time Now let us review the situation and the records of Congress, and sceiftbc calamity howlers and those who could see nothing but po'ltlcal ruin in this election were correct in their estimates and predictions In 1876 the Third Congr?ssional District elected as Its representative In Congress the Hon. D. Wyatt Aikei of Cokesbury. This was the Korty fifth Congress. In this Congress he introduced five hills, presented eight petitions and u emorials und made some incidental remarks on the bills introduced. None of the bills were reported by the committees to which thoy were refer ea, hence did not pass. His first speech, and only ?peech ?D this Congress, wai on the petition of the McKay Sewing Machine Association asking for the intension of the Mathies patent. Col Aiken ?as re-elected to tho Forty-sixth Congress and in it he presented 35 petitions and memorials, and introduced three bills, none of which passed. He mado incidental remarks on these bills and one joint resolution and made a iipeecb. on 'ho 'Tefundiug of thc national debt " Itvr.s in this Congress that Mr. Muldrow of Missinsippi introduced a bill to make the Agricul tural Department- one of the Executive Depart ment!! of the United States. Celonel Aiken intro duced a substitute for this bill but it failed to pass at tba'- Congress. He obtained leave of absence four different times during bia teim of service tn the Forty-fifth and Forty-sixth Congresses. His term of service ended with the Forty-ninth Congress In the Fiftieth Congress, the Third Congressional District was represented by Hon -lames 8. othran of Abbeville. He presented three petitions, offer ed ono amendment and made thrco reports. Ho made Incidental remarks on the "support of p iso ners" an i was granted leave of absence soren dif ferent times. Judge Cothran was re-elected to the Fifty-first Congress He presented two petitions, made souo incidental remarks on "Southern affuirs," and ob tained leave of absenco twice during the first ses sion- 'the record shows that ho attended the second session but took no part in the proceedings. In the Ffty-second Congres*, tho Third Con gressional District was lepresented by Hon. Georgs Johnstone of Newberry He presented five pt tltlons, int educed leren bills, all of which were private bills except ono and none passed, ex cept ono of the private bills, which was for th8 re lief of the heirs of John R. Ireutlen He made remarks -n the following subjects : "The Colored Race " Indian appropriation DUI, public printer, and World's Columbian Exposition. He obtained leave of absence twice and took no part in the proceedings of the second session In tho Fifty-third Congress, the Third Con gressional District was represented by Hon A. C. Latimer of Belton. He presented one petition, eade lix repoits, and Introduced four bills. One ol tho bills passed tho Rouse and Senate, which was to "prevent interference in tho collection of Sta e, County and municipal taxes asspssid against colorations." Another one of the bills was the Newberry College bill, which was defeated in tho House by a narrow majority. Another ono W?B the bill to chango the distribution of seed, nd then the bill to refund to tho State certain fines imposed in the Uni'ed States Courts. Ho made incidental remarks on refunding fines to tho SUte of South Carolina, on public lands, and a speech on the Newberry College bill, railroad taxes, school lands, and the coinage of silver bullion. He waj granted no leave of absenco. In the Fifty-fourth Congress Mr. Latimer wes returned as the Representative of the Third Di trict Ho presented ono petition, luftue two reports, introduced one bill, which is still pending, and made a speech on tho bond issue and silver coinage. Hisseat In ?he Fifty-fourth Congress was contested by a Republican and ho retained it in a Republi can House Now, Mr. Editor, hero is the record of th? differ ent Representatives of tho Third Congressional District since 1870, for two Congresses for tho present Representative, except as to tho last ses sion wh ch is yet to be held. This record baa been made and must stand for all time to come as history. The record of Colonel Aiken wail a long andan honorable one, hut his first two terms of service were taken in order to compare them with the samo length of service of oar present Repre sen tat i ve. It is not our purpose to indulge in invidious comparisons, but this record stands for itself, and it needs no comment to prove that our Repr?sen tai ve has made a record nequualled br any other Representative who has ever had tue honor to represent the Third Congressional District, 'le went to Congress us the Represen Uti vo 0i the tolling masses and bin record is thc proof of what he has endeavored to do In behalf of his constitu ency. His remarks and speeches when in Congress were upon tho great questions that are now before the American people for adjustment at the coming elecions. Is not this rec >rd a coaplete-vindica tion of his efforts to serve his constituency faith fully and well ? Is it not an answer to the charge tba. he was Incompetent to represent tho interests of the farmers of the Third District? Does it not compare favorably with the record of those who represented the district heretofore, and who have stood high in the political history of our State? .Let any fair minded man and hones; man read this record, compare it, then answer for himself. Aside from this record, lt ls a well known fact that our present Representativo has sent out more Congressional literature and seed 'han all his pre decessors put together sent out. It should also bo remembered that as a representative of tho people hq has distributed these seed and documer.ts irre spective of former factional dltferonces. and now the Hon. A C. .Latimer ls seeking a rc-clccliod, based upon a record which ho has made against great odds and against the combined opposition of the Presidont of tho United States and his entire Cabinet, ibis record ia tho proof of the trusts thac were reposed in him, let it go to the people and they will soe to lt that he is re turned as our Representative to to do bsttlefor their causo.

JNO. K. HOOD, City Clerk aud Treasurer. Anderson, S. C., Aug. 14,1893. Shot to Death. SrAUTANBURO, Aug. 10.-Oue of the saddest and most shocking tragedies ever known in th's county occurred here to day. Capt. J. II. Blassiufjame, one of the oldest and most respected citizens of the town, was shot and instantly killed this afternoon about 1 o'clock. Capt. Blassin game was at his brother-in-law's house, having gone there while the family were away, for the purpose of protecting it from the robbers, as it had been for sev eral Sundays past broken into and robbed of jewelry and silverware. Whilo he was lying on a sofa in the hall he heard a noise, and upon goinc in he was fired at by the negro. Ten shots were tired, and it is supposed that both did the shooting, as two pisto a wore found lying empty in the room. Capt. Blassingamu was shot twice through the heart. A short time after tbe Bhooting ?. nogro by the name of Chris Cannon was found at his home suffering from a pistol wound in his left side, and it is supposed tbat ho did the shooting. Cannon is a noted thief and bas for some time boen suspected. Cannon's wound is thought to bo fatal. Great excitement prevails, but the law will take its course. Capt. Blassingame was about 04 years of age. He was one of tho best known men in the up country and had held of fice in this county longer than any other man. Ho served as sheriff und treasurer for years and year*. He was at one time chief of police. He served through the war, and a braver soldier never drew a sword. Before the war he was a coionel in the United States army. Another negro by the name of Johnson has just been arrested as an accomplice to the killing.-Special to Columbia State. - ??<???? - - Lightning is zigzag because as it condenses the air in the immediate ad vance of its path it Hies from side to side in order to pass where there ia the least resistance to its progress.

Glad to shake your hands this morning, and hope you feel hal:: as well as I do and have a buoyant spirit, which takes you through this hot weather just like it does me ! WELL, I have a few words to say to you th 3 morning without a further waste of lime. I proceed with my chat It is not exactly war stories nor politics, but to the true man and true woman it is just as important. I want to tell you about a thing I saw a day or two ago. In passing tho Ten Cent Store, at 27 South Side of Public Square in Anderson, I noticed a few Lampa In the window, and, bless goodness, the prices on those Lamps mad-- the hair stand on my heed. Why, man alive, they give you. a large Lamp eighteen Inches high, with Ko. 2 burner and chimney and wide wick fo:r 20c. complete. The same style, fifteen inches high, with No. 1 burner and chimney complete, for 153. Exaotly tho same thing, fourteen inches high, complete, for 12j. I saw a large Vase Lamp, decorated base, and shade, as pretty as the faines make them, sold last Fall for ?I 50, marked to-day at 95c. each. MINOR says that he does not wish to oppress competition, but he will lighten the spirits of his customers or bust the bottom out of the ?hip of trade. Minor is a man that when his mind is made up the thing is "g wine ter be did." Here, listen ! For the bot Summer days he sells half gallon Pitchers for 15c. other people sell them at 25c. and 35c. Bat that aiot the biggest thing. Yon know those common Stone Jars that sell the world over and several other places at 10c. per gallon. Minor sees 'em that and goes 'om one. He is selling these Jan a: 5;. per gal lon. He has them marked "Hobson's Choice," and I am satisfied you will like nia choice. But wait, be bits them again. He has got something new in the way of a deep Loaf Pan, made just like a biscuit pan, but very deep, 81 inches wide by 13i inch es long, marked 10c. each. . Hts line of Biscuit Pans run as follows : 10x16 inches 10c, 10x15 inches 9 u, 8x17 inches 9&, 8x15 Inches 8c, 10x12 inches. 8j., 8x12 inches 8 :, 7xU incaes 8c., 7x13 inch es 7c. 8x10 inches 7c, 7x8 Inches 4c. aad 0x9 Inches 43. Now, here you nra ri^ht ready to stretch your mouth and blab out "no good," bat j ist befora yoa siy that see the Pans. So far as I can see they are by all odds superior to the common Pans, w'aico. I haye always paid twice as much for. * ? MiDor tells me about that Fire Proof Oil, which is absolutely safe, novv sold at 153. per gallon. It Ls as cheap as the cheapest. . I could not help mentioning, while talking wich the old man, the matter of Fruit Jars. Wheu Sal heard that Minor had boagbt 135 gross of Fruit Jits for Anderson trade, she went wild with astonishment. Why, aha says, that's over 20,000 JARS; whatever does he expect to do with them? Well, Minor toi s me that out of 20,000 or more that be has got only about 800 single Jars left, and ? few days mere will clean them out. 1 could not help it, old boy, I jost jumped ont on the street, hit my breast with my two fists, jumped up and cracked my heels together throe times, and yelled as loud as I could. If the police had took me then and thar I would hive yelled just the same. But no fear of that ; they knew 1 had something to holier about, aci they let me holler. Yell, good-bye, b o. I am glad to see you with a smile on your faoe and happi ness beaming in your countenance. Hope you will see Minor scon and soe what he is doing for his country. If be aint doing theright and fair thing, then it's esme hedon;t know how to do it. Yours always truly, j AND THE J No. 27 South Side Public Square, Anderson, S. C. Fresh Tu? Seed ORR &> SLOAN'S
