Anderson Intelligencer. PEBUSgED EVERY WEDNESDAY iJ. F. CLINKSCALES, ) Editors and IO. C. LANGSTON, j Proprietors. TERMS : ONE TEAR.fl 50 SIX MONTHS . 75 WEDNESDAY, JULY 21, 1897. The total amount of shortages in the State dispensaries runs up to nearly 320, 000 and not one of tho dispensera has been punished. Tho people of the State are takln y very little Interest in tho Senatorial campaign scTfar^end the candidates are speaking to small audiences. The wheat crop throughout the coun is very fine this year, and especially in the northwest. No doubt the price )f flour will be cheaper. An \nderson man says he will vote for fohn T. Duncan on account of the valua ble service rendered South Carolina last pear in olectiDg the late Judge Earle Uni 'ted States Senator. Spartanburg ought to have a first-class ailitary company. Why not??Spartan ^burg Herald. Spartanburg is, perhaps, like Anderson and other places in the State, waiting to have a firot-ciass man elected to the position of Adjutant Gen eral. _ Rev. Dr! Hopkins, of Atlanta, Ga., quit the Democratic party and the pastorate of a big Church to get a Republican plum ?minister to Greece. The President, however, -appointed another man with out even consulting the doctor. He now has neither Chureh nor party. ? m - A statement prepared at the mint bu reau shows the number of silver dollars coined at the United States mints during the last fiscal year was 21,203,701 on which the seignorage, or profits to the govern ment, amounted to ?6,336,104. The prof ita have been turned into the treasury from time to time as tho coinage pro gressed. The Washington dispatches in the pa pers of yesterday quote Senator Tillman as saying that he would vote for the infa mous and oppressive Dingley tariff bill if j his vote was necessary to pass it. It is said that the South Carolina delegation depl?m his course in the matter, but, like Irby and Evans, they will be afraid to d? nonce his action. - ? ? ? The Dingley tariti'bill passed the House yesterday, and it goes back to the Senate now to become a law. As a result of the conference, ties and bagging are restored to the dutiable lis:, and the doty of 20 per cent on imported cotton is stricken out. The bill will probably pass the Sen ate promptly and Congress will adjourn in a few days. The Dingley bill is more oppressive than the old McKinley Law. The Atlanta Journal says the move ment of population from the West to the South is based on the grow ing conviction that this section offers advantages. It is becoming more and more generally known that the South is both a pleasanter and more profitable place to live in than the West, and neither the misrepresen tations of newspapers nor the discrimina tions of railroads can avert the natural re sult of this knowledge or stop the tide of | emigration from the West to the South. Over a hundred thousand coal miners in Ohio. Indiana, Illinois and Pennsyl vania are out on a strike for higher wa ges. For a long time they have earned barely enough to keep soul and body to gether, but tbeir Republican bosses-1 prouiioc-d that McKlnley's election would bring prosperity, and the grimy under ground toilers believed it, but their oyes aro at last opened. Many railroads and manufacturers have been caught short of coal and will have trouble unless some early settlement Is reached. An exchange truly says: "When you see a 3'outh who will do nny sort of work, no matter how menial it may be, rather than bo idle, you can make up your mind that be amounts to something. The young man who would starve before he would do anything beneath what be con ceives to be his. dignity, is not made of the right kind of stuff to cut much of a figure in this life. All honest toil is hon orable. There is nothing so morally de grading as that aversion to manual labor, which is usually a combination of laziness and conceit." It is incomprehensible that Kansas farmers are appealing for help to save their wheat, offering as high as $2 per - day for laborers, while the State is swarming with tramps, who refuse to work; but that is the condition now. Thousands of acres of wheat is still in the shock because farmers cannot get help to stack it. Tramps swarm along the rail roads, bet they refuso to work. The peo ple in the towns and country, however, have organized against them and refuse to give them food. The women slam the doors in their faces when they come to their homes begging for something to eat, and tell them to go to the field and work or starve. The American people are proverbially a restless, buey, hurrying people. Even tbo summer season bringa no rest to tho larger portion of our people. Pleasure seeking itself has assumed the formida ble features of an occupation. It used to be considored as a period of delightful idleness for those who could indulge in tho luxury of idleness. It is this class which makes a business of pleasure and rushes madly from mountain to seashore and then back to the lakes and so on un til the summer is one hurried rush of travel and change. We hear a great deal of the troubles of the poor, but a thought ful consideration of aoruo phases of the summer question suggest "tbesorrowsof j tho rich." __ special to the Atlanta Constitution from Greeuville says it is stated upon good authority that the Southern Railway will very Boon put on double daily trains |Sr*'"~betW8en Columbia und Greenville. No official announcement hae yet been made, but it is believed that the change will go int'> effect at an earl}' date. For years the people along the line of the Columbia A Grecnvlllo Road have desired to this plan carried out, but have never been able to bring it abeut. The chango will be welcomed all along the line, and we beli vo would prove profitable to the Road. It would increase travel and would be a great convenience to tho pub lic. The business and the population along tbo line are increasing, and one train a day each way is not sufficient io meet the demands of the public. We hope to see the double servico inaugura ted at once. _ Mr. . V. Richards, the wide-awake land and industrial agent of the Southern Railway, has taken advantage of the re vival of interest in gold mining by the discoveries of the Alaskan fields, to get up a most valuable little work devoted to gold mining in the Southern States North and South Carolina, Virginia, Georgia, Tennessee, Alabama and Mary land. The articlo contained therein on tho industry in the Carolinas is by Messrs. Holmes and Nitz*, of tho North Carolina geological survey. The records show that South Carolina has mined more gold a in co 1690 than any other Lu 1895 the output of her ( ? ?> iiiliiMir ni nui minea was $128,403, while Georgia's out put, the largest of all tho Son'horn State0, was only ?100 mor?. Thn total pnv?nnt of gold rained in the Pouthprn Staus since 1S7?) is placed at $45.5C5,483. < >!' this South Carolina mined ?3,7?9,5GC, and takes third place among the States North Carolina coming first and Georgia second The bulk of both Georgia and North Carolina's output was minod, how ever, prior to 1879, while nearly all of South Carolina's mining has been dono since. Tho Senatorial Campaign. Columbia, July 18.?Tho first two weeks of tho Stato Senatorial campaign have passed, and eleven campaign meet ings have been held in tho various coun ties of tho State. There are twenty-nino meetings yet to be hold, and it is thus seen that the campaign has really but just begun. It is certainly too early to attempt to say anything as to the results of the campaign work. All the speakers, save Duncan, have been on tho stump and talked to the people, but the crowds have been small thus far. Some votes may have been changed by what the can didates have had to say, but how many and the character of the changes are un known quantities. Col. Irby's friends say that he has been making a very good impression, although he has been devot ing more time to jokes and a few hard slaps in various directions than he has to argument on national Issues. Ex-Gover nor Evans has been making very good arguments on the real issues. Mr. May field sticks to his attack on the dispen sary law, and now an interesting issue has been raised between himself and Governor Ellerbe as to what tho'latter said to him about the formation of a new political party in South Carolina. Sona tor McLaurin is said to be holding his own, making strong arguments upon the tariff. He is considered tho most practi cal speaker of all the candidates so far in the field. Mr. Duncan has now comple ted the trial ot the case which has been keeping him in Columbia since the cam paign opened, and it is just possible that he will take the stump at Wionsboro to morrow or wait until Tuesday, when the party will speak in Colombia. It is gen erally thought that Mr. Duncan will con fine his speeches to arguments upon the tariff issue. He will, of course, make the most of his viotory before Judge Benet last week upon the jurisdiction issue. Mr. Walt Whitman is barred the privi lege of running in the primary and ap pearing on the stump as a candidate. It la considered praotically certain that he will not be allowed to etand in the pri mary election. He has intimated, how ever, that he will appeal to the whole Democracy from State Chairman Tomp kins' decision, and this is taken to mean that he will be a candidate for election before the General Assembly next win ter. After the Columbia meeting the party will visit Orangeburg, Dorchester and Bamberg counties this week, and the week following they will go to tho up country, continuing the meetings in that section until they come back to the Poe Dee section for the finish. To day three of the candidates are in Columbia?Senator McLaurin, Mr. May field and Mr. Duncan. Senator McLau rin is quartered at tbo Grand Central Hotel, where he has been visited by many of hie political friends. To-day he dined, in company with several others, with the Governor's family at the Executive man sion. When I asked him to-day for an expression as to the results of the cam paign thus far and bis satisfaction or dis satisfaction with them, he said that he was taking a day of rest, and declined to have anything whatever to say. I also asked Mr. May field tor a similar expres sion. He stated that he was very much tired out ~ith bis campaign work, and was taking a day of complete rest; be did not care to have a word to Bay. Ex-Governor Evans is spending Sun day in Augusta and, of course, could not be seen. Col. Irby is at his home in Lau rens, having gone there Saturday after noon complaining of being sick. He ex pects to attend the Winnsboro meeting?, however, if he is not too unwell.--News and Courier. Gov. Ellerbe Makes a Denial. Columbia, C, July 17.?S.G. Mayfield, candidate for the Senate, has in his latest campaign speeches had something to say about Governor Ellerbe having told him that he proposed to form a new party of conservative conservatives and conserva tive reformers; and that the Governor bad declared his purpose to back McLau rin with tho full force of his Administra tion. Asked about this, Governor Ellerbe ex pressed great surprise that Mr. Mayfield should have made such a statement. Ho said that Mayfield came into bis office and gave Information of bis intention to be a Senatorial candidate. Mayfield then asked the Governor what course he would pursue, desiring to know if the Governor, because of his appointment of McLaurin, was going to make any special eifort to secure his election. Governor Ellerbe replied that while McLaurin was in the Senate by virtue oi an executive appointment, that would not bias bim and he would let the Sena torial race run its own course, provided, however, none of the candidates assailed him and bis Administration, in which case be would be obliged for self-preser vation to oppose the man who had drag ged him into a campaign in which he had no part or parcel. To this, of course, Mr. Mayfield could make no objection. In a friendly and confidential way, the Governor informed Mayfield be had heard it was bis intention to make the race as an old or original Reformer anil attempt to draw the factional lines in or der to profit by a bitter division of the people. As a friend be advised him not to pursue such a policy, stating his belief that the best people of the State were get ting together, irrespective of past faction al differences, and that public sentiment would not approve an effort to divide the white voters of South Carolina into two hostilo camps. Senator Tillman's Dispensary Law. Senator Tillman's Dispensary bill has passed the Senate, but it will hardly pass the House. Ifit should pass both Houses, however, and bo approved by the Presi dent, we are satisfied that it will not pass the United States Courts, which have in recent years been the sole defecce of our people from tho tyranny and oppression of factional legislation. The bill pro vides that all fermented, distilled or oth er liquor transported into any State or Territory for use, consumption or sale shall be subject to the operation and ef fect of the laws of such State, and shall not be exempt by reason of being intro duced in original packages for private uso or otherwise, and each State shall have absoluto control of such liquors within its borders, by whomsoever produced and for whatever use imported. That appears to be "horse high, bull strong and pig tight," and it would prob ably stand but for the fact that the pro vision of tho Constitution controlling the commerce of the States cannot be set a. Je by an act of Congress. As long as tL3 State itself is engaged in tho liquor traffic, not in the exercise of the police power but for the money that it can make out of it, dealers in liquor from other States cannot be restrained from the ex ercise of their constitutional rights. The Dispensary law in South Carolina, as Judge Simonton says in one of his decis ions, "is an attempt under the guise of tho police power to secure for the State the emoluments of the liquor traffic here tofore ot?joyed by individual citizens, and so inorease her revenue." "The State cannot engage in this business for this purpose in contravention of the rights of citizens of the other States." The true lntont of Mr. Tillman's Senate bill will be considered in connection with the true intent of the Dispensary law in this State. Both laws are fraudulent in their purpo ses, and the Courts will tear away all flimsy disguises when they aro put to tho test. A State can prohibit; a Stato cannot trade- According to a dispatch from Washington one of the 8ouators says that tho bill was allowed to pass tbo Senate ''with the understanding that it has not possible reference to local exigencies in South Carolina."?News and Courier. Wheat Yield will be Large. Kansas Cm*, Mo., July 18.?Long train? of empty freight cars have rolled out of Kansas City for two weeks and dropped off in*twos, threes and lives on s:do tracks along the lines of tho railroads in Missouri, Iowa, Kansas, Nebraska and Oklahoma. These empty freight cars of which there aro thousands, will be filled with new 1897 wheat inside of four or fivo weeks. A tremendous grain rush is expected and the best of management by railroad officials will be needed to prevent a huge grain blockade, or grain car famine. Conservative estimates of crop statisti cians place the yield of wheat for this year in Kansas alone at 60,000,000 bushels. ?

For the past three weeks Capt Wni. Burress, of Baldwin, Miss., has been vis iting rolatives and friends of this city and Connty. Capr. Burross wns born in Anderson County and lived hern until bis seven teenth year, when his father, Mr. Thorn as Burrow, removed to Mississippi. Once hefnre, twenty-tivu years Rfjn, be visited the land of his boyhood, and now. when he lias almost reached biH.threo score and ten years, it has been to his relatives and friends an indescribible pleasure to en tertain him again. It was in his honor, thon, that tho Burrcss and Watson fami lies mot at Jolly's Spring last Friday, July 16, and enjoyed a reunion, a pic nie and a barbocue. More than one hundred representatives of these two families were present to do honor to this rospected relative. Two other relatives from a distance, Miss Alberto, tho daughter of Capt. Bur ress, and Miss Kathleen Ayor, from Ma con, Ga., addod pleasure to the occasion. Under tho skillful management of r Joe McGee, both the fatted calf and the fatted pig were barbecued, and at 2 o'clock a table, loaded with eatables sub stantial and eatables dainty, was sur rounded by those relatives and a few in vited friends, and lor an hour all were engaged in executing not tho least enjoy able part of the programme Just after dinner a rain prevented gen - eral conversation, and perhaps caused tho home-going to take place at an earlier hour, but the clay was enjoyed by every one, and will be one long and lovingly romombored by Capt.

Protracted services will begin at Mt, Pisgah Church (Baptist) on Friday before the second Sunday. Occasionally you will hoar a little talk about the Senatorial race, but aside from this, there is nothing stirring politically Wo understand that Mr. Evans is to be supported at this box by seme of our strongest citizens; in fact, it is stated that he will carry this box. We don't know whether Mr. Snelgrove or Mr. Tripp, the township supervisor, is to blame for tho condition of the road between Glenn's store and the Pickene line, but someone is and deserves to be soundly reprimanded for allowing the puhlio highway to get in such a fix. The road, in some places, is hardly fit to walk over, and unless there is some very urgent reason for it, it is not wise for a mau to put his wife, or daughter or sweetheart in his buggy and go in that direction. Those men get tho pay prom ised them, and, in turn, the people want tho roads promised thorn. Itenerant Majors Dew Drops.

Editors Intelligencer : As law-abiding citizoDB, and to some extent leaders of our people, we feel it our imperative duty lo show to the world our unanimous con demnation of the crime attempted to bo committed rocently in our city. We havo mothers, daughters and sisters whose vir tue aud chastity are sacred, and we would not, for one moment, shield or protect any person guilty of such a foul deed from the full extent of tho law. Wo know that the moral standard of many of our people is not as high as it should be, but we know scores of the belter class who would defend a white or colored woman, even though it cost their lives, in such a case. We would have gladly assisted in trying to bring the guilty one to justice in this case or any other, as some one else may become his victim. We have been asked why we did not assist, and to eome extent condemned for remaining silent. This request and condemnation is not groundless when you first see it, but when coolly and wisely considered we think our action is in keeping with the law of the land. Had either or all of us assisted, and had we been successful in capturing the accused, there is no doubt in our minds from the excited condition of the greater portion of the citizens that he would have been hanged to the first limb or shot to doath. This is not bring ing the prisoner to justice. Hence we would become murderers and stand guilty before a just God. We would be no loss guilty than the man that pulled at the end of tho rope or the one that perfo rated his body with lead. We know there were many cool, law-abiding white citizsns who would not think of partici pating in such a crime, but there were mauy ethers infuriated with passion that would not be coutrollod at that time. Many times havo wo seen municipal and State and county ollicials, backed up by cool hoads, overpowered by tho raadoned crowd and the prisoner lynched. This we loel is very unjust, and is educating and leading tho young mon of our great and grand county into a very dangerous custom, as it leads mob3 to resort to lynch law for crimes of less magnitude Wo also feel that the moral standard of ?coros of our people is so high that tb'"' would not, for a moment, entertain . .j idea of harboring or secreting tho accused in their homes, and as the officers made uo oxcoptiou8, but searched all of our homos, regardless of the good name we havo boon trying to build up during our lifo time, hence we wore all placed on tho samo basi* with the rabble of the city.

Home Matters in Washington. Washington, July 15.?Senator Till man succeeded to-day in passing his dis pensary bill through the Senate without objection. Thie bill provides that all fer mented, distilled or other liquor trans ported into any State or Territory for use, consumption or sale shall be subject to :he operation and effect of the laws of such State, and shall not be exempt by reason )f being Introduced in original pakages tor private use or otherwise, and eaoh State shall have absolute control of such iquors within its borders, by whomso jver produced and for whatever use im ported: Provided, that nothing herein contained shall be construed as affecting me internal revenue laws of the United States or of liquors in transit through juch State?. The general effect of tho bill ? to carry out the provisions of the 3outh Carolina dispensary law, notwith standing the numerous decisions obnox ouB to tho enforcement of said Jaw. The Pill passed the Senate without a word of liscusslon by unanimous consent. It was reported from the commerce com mittee more than a month ago, and Sena Or Tilintan has been industriously at work upon it ever since. The trouble will oome when the at ;ompt is made to pass it through the Souse. Senator Tillman admits that he jardly expects to get the House to pass jpon it during the present session, but xe looks for favorable action next winter. The position of the bill is improved by ts passage through the Senate, although many bills have failed to becomo laws af ,er having passed one branch of Con gress.

To the Editor of the News and Courier : I xras appointed a life trustee of Clomson College without my knowledge or con- i sent. At great inconvenience and mach personal sacrifice havo endeavored to discharge my full duty from the founda tion of the College to the present timo. Criticisms, flings and eneers rrt the board have hitherto failed to provoke lrom mo a reply. I have kept the even tenor of my way, sustained by a consciousness of the fact that I am but ono member of a board of thirteen, and that I have always tried to do my duty with an eye eingle to the highest and best interests of the whole people, to whom the College belongs. Even now I write in the interest of others rather than myself, and for the eako of truth. That the board has made many mistakes I do not for a moment doubt. Legitimate criticism, made in the proper spirit, is both rieht and healthful. This we invite, for it develops strength and light and life. What I object to is the strained relations rapidly being developed between the members of the State board oi health and the trustees, tho authorities Immediately in charge of the College, and others friendly to the institution. This feeling seems to me to be altogether unnecessary and unwarranted. The board of health made a report (as to the reoent outbreak of fever at Clem son.) which they now admit was not care fully and fully prepared. The board of trustees, anxious tor the safety of the College, and face to face with high medi cal authority antagonistic to the views held by the board of health, ventured to point out what they thought to be several g? ave errors (matters of fact) in the report of the board of health. Whereupon one member of the health board publishes for the first time vital and important data which should have b'oen in the com mittee's official report. Another member feels it his duty to place the board of trustees, the College authorities and all connected therowith under the surgeon's knife. After flaying them alive, he pro ceeds to offer them up as a sacrifice?a port, fittingly, upon "Mount Ignorance" and a part upon "Mount Imbecility." Eut the unkindest cut of all is the suggestion that there are those who would knowing ly "guard the secret" (true naturo of the fever at the College) "and let fathers and mothers come, and, after weary days and nights of ceaseless vigils, and with bleed ing hearts, carry back to their homes their own dear dead." I submit Mr. Editor, that such language does not con tain the words of wisdom and of soberness one has aright t; expect from a distin guished scientific expert writing a State paper on so grave a subject. I half sus pect my esteemed friend will admit the soft impeachment. Others in reply bave written with heat and bitterness. A fourth deliverance is promised by the board of health ; and the end ie not yet. But my intention is not to wound or to stir up feeling. My sole aim is to allay feeling. Let all concerned keep cool. Let the white searchlight of truth be turned on the College and its management. Let feeling and passion and prejudice be rele gated to the rear, and let pure patriotism and clear headed reason and hard common sonso be heard and heeded, and all will be well. The trustees, I am suro, will do all in their power to make the sanitary condition of the College all thai it ought to be. Then, if wise councils prevail, Clemson College will indeed bee no of the brightest gems in the educational crown of the State. j. E. Wanxamakkr. Marvellous Results From a letter written by Rev. J.

The crowd was gathor ed about whero formerly stood a tail pine, Just south of Anderson County's venera ble Court House. That something out of the ordinary was transpiring was ?viden* ced by the jam and push. Those on the outer circle wtre scrambling to get inside, while those en the inner circle conceded their ground reluctantly. Useless to say it, we joined the PUSH. The centre of attraction was a gentle man of ordinary appearance, weighing about one hundred and fifty. To say there wee nothing iu the appearance of the man to attract special attention is putting it mild, but to Ik-ten to bis tale of woe would touch a sympathetic chord in the moat callous nature.
