The President, however, -appointed another man with out even consulting the doctor. He now has neither Church nor party. ia m m - A statement prepared at the mint bu reau shows the number of silver dollars coir od at tuo United States mints during the last fiscal year was 21,203,701 on which the seignorage, or profits to the govern ment, amounted to $0,336,104. The prof its have been turned into the treasury from time to timo as tho coinage pro gressed. The Washington d ispatches in the pa pers of yesterday quote Senator Tillman as saying that he would vote for the infa mous and oppressivo Dingley tariff bill if his vote was necessury to pass it. It is said that the South Carolina delegation deploro his course in the matter, but, like Irby and Ev?ns, they will be afraid to d? nonce his action. The Dingley tariff bill passed the House yesterday, and it goes back to the Senate now to become a law. As a resnlt of the conference, ties and bagging are restored to tho dutiable list, and the duty 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. Tho Atlanta Journal says the move ment of population from the West to the South is based on tho 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 profitablo 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 atop the tide of emigration from the West to tho South. Over a hundred thousand coal miners in Ohio, Indiana, Illinois and Pennsyl vania aro 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 their Republican bosses promised that McKlnley's election would bring prosperity, and the grimy under ground toilers believed it, but thoir eyes are 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 youth who will do any sort of work, no matter how menial it may be, rather than bo idle, you can make up your mind that he amounts to something. The yonng man who would starve before he would do anything beneath what he 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 trampB, 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, but they refuse to work. The peo ple in the towns and country, however, have organized sgainst them and refuse to give them food. The women slam the doors in their faces whon 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, busy, hurrying people. Even tho summer season bringa no rest to the larger portion of our people. Pleasure seeking itself hes assumed the formida ble features of an occupation. It used to be considored aa 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 travol and change. We hear a great deal of the troubles of the poor, but a thought ful consideration of some phases of the summer question suggest "tbesorrowsof ] tho rich." A special to the Atlanta Constitute from Greenville ssys It is stated upon good authority that the Southern Railway will vory soon put on double daily trains between Columbia and Greenville. No official announcement has yet been made, but it is believed that the change will go int') effect at an early date. For years tho people along the line of the Columbia 4 Groonvillo Road have desired to see this plan earriod out, but have never been able to bring it abeut. The change will be welcomed all along the line, and we bollivo would prove profitable to the Road. It would increase travel and would be a great convenience to the pub lic. The business and the population along thu lino arti increasing, and one train a day each way is not sufficient io meet the demands of the public. We hope to see the double service inaugura ted at once._ Mr. . V. Richards, the wide-awako land and industrial agent of the Southorn Railway, has taken advantage of the re vival of interest in gold mining by the discoveries of the Alaskan fields, to get np a most valuable little work devoted to gold mining in tho Southern States North and South Carolina, Virginia, Georgia, Tennessee, Alabama and Mary land. The artlclo contained therein on the industry in the Carolinas is by Messrs. Holmes and Nltze, of the North Carolina geological survey. The records show that South Carolina has mined more gold since 1S90 than any other ite. In 1S95 the output of her mines was $128,403, while- Georgia's out put, tbf? iRi-fTPPt of all fltoSoa'horn State?, was r>nly ?100 mor?. Tbo total pminnt of gold rained in the Southern RtoMrs Binco 1S7P is placed at $45,565,483. < >!' thin South Carolina mined $3,709.500, and takes third placo among the States North Carolina coming first and Georgia second The bulk of both Georgia and North Carolina'? output was minod, how ever, prior to 1S7?>, while nearly all of South Carolina's mining has been dono Bince. The Senatorial Campaign. Columbia, July 1H.?The first two weeks of tho State Senatorial campaign have passed, and eleven campaign meet ings have been held in tho various coun ties of tho State. There are twenty-nine meetings yet to be hold, and it is thus soen 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 tho 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 be has been making a very good impression, although he has been devot ing more time to jokee and a few hard elaps 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 Bald to him about the formation of a new political party in South Carolina. Sena tor McLaurin Is said to bo holding his own, making strong arguments upon the tariff. He is considered the most practi cal speaker of all tho candidates so far in the field. Mr. Duncan has now comple ted the trial o? 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 tho party will speak in Columbia. It is gen erally thought that Mr. Duncan will cou 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 Btump as a candidate. It is considered practically 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 thoy will go to tho up country, continuing the meetings in that section until they come back to the Pee Dee section for the finish. To day three oT the candidates are in Columbia?Senator McLaurin, Mr. May field and Mr. Duncan. Senator McLau rin is quartered at the Grand Central Hotel, where he has been visited by many of his 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 his 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. Mayfield for a similar expres sion. He stated that he was very much tired out with his campaign work, and was taking a day of complete rest; he did not care to have a word to say. Ex-Governor Evans is spending Sun day in Augusta and, of course, could not be seen. Col. Irbj 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.?Beit's and Courier. Gov. Ellerbe Makes a Denial. Columbia, C, July 17.?S.G. Mayfield, candidato for the Senate, has in his latest campaign speeches had something to say about Governor Ellerbe having told him that he propoeed to form a new party of ? conservative conservatives and conserva tive reformers; and that the Governor had 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 shonld have made such a statement. Ho said that Mayfield came into his office and gave information of his intention to be a Senatorial candidate. Mayfield then asked the Governor what course he would pursue, desiring to know if the Governor, beoause of his appointment of McLaurin, was going to make any special effort to secure his election. "Governor Ellerb9 replied that while McLaurin was in tho Senate by virtue o? an executive appointment, that would not bias him and he would let the Sena torial race run its own course, provided, however, none of the candidates assailed him and his Administration, in which case he would be obliged for self-preser vation to oppose the man who bad 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 he had heard it was his intention to make the race as an old or original Roformer and attempt to draw the factional lines in or der to profit by a bitter division of the people. As a friend he advised him not to pursue such a policy, stating his belief thai the best people of the State were get ting together, irrespective of past faction al differences, and that public Fentiment would not approve an effort to divide the white voters of South Carolina into two hostile- camps. Senator Tillniau's Dispensary Law. Senator Tillman'a 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 yeara been the sole defence of our people from the 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 absolute 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 faot that the pro vision of the Constitution controlling tho commerce of the States cannot be set aside by an act of Congress. As long as the 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 Statee 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 Stale the ?moluments of the liquor traffic here tofore enjoyed by individual citizens, and so inorease her revenu?." ''The State cannot engage In this businer-s for this purpose in contravention of the rights of citizens of the other States." The true Intent of Mr. Tillman'a Sonale 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 tboy aro put lo tho test. A State can prohibit; a State cannot trade. According to a dispatch from Washington one of the Senators says that tho bill was allowed to pass tho Senate ''with the understanding that it has not possible reference to local exigencies in South Carolina."?Netus <ind Courier. Wheat Yield will he Large. Kaksas Citv, Mo., July is.?Long trains of empty freight cars have rolled out of Kansas City for two weeks and dropped off in*twos, threes and lives on s:de tracks along the lines of tho railroads in Missouri, Iowa, Kansas, Nebraska and Oklahoma. These empty freight cars of which there are thousands, will be filled with new 1897 wheat inside of four or five 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 00,000,000 bushels. ?

For the past three weokn Capt Win. Barrees, of Baldwin, Miss., has been vis iting relatives and friends of this city and County. Capt. Barrees was horn in Anderson County and lived hero until his seven teenth year, when hi? father, Mr. Thorn as Burrow, removed to Mississippi. Once before, twenty-live years ago, be visited tho land of ?j ?m boyhood, and now, when be has almost reached bis three score and ten years, it has been to his relatives and friends an indescribable pleasure to en tertain him again. It waB in his honor, thon, that tun Barrosa and Watson fami lies mot nt Jolly's Spring last Friday, July 16, and enjoyed reunion, a pic nie and a barbocue. More than one hundred representatives of these two families wero prosont to do honor to this respected relative. Two other relatives from a distance, Miss Alberta, tho daughter of Capt. Bur res?, and Miss Kathleen Ayer, from Ma con, Ga., added pleasure to tho occasion. Under tho skillful management of Hr. Joe McGee, both the fatted calf and tho fatted pig wero 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 earlior hour, but the clay was enjoyed by every one, and will bo one long and lovingly romombored by Capt. Burress and his relativos. . M II. Slabtowii Items. This is ideal weather on the crops. Saturday night a gentle rain began falling at about midnight and continued until up in the next day. Tho water all went in. giving us a genuine season. A majority of our farmers will "h by" this week, and then for picnics, big meetings, otc School opened last Monday, tho 12.h, with only a few in attendance, but the indications are that, when work is over, it will be largor than usual. 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. We understand that Mr. Evans is to be supported at this box by some 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 Pickens line, but someono is and deserves to be soundly reprimanded for allowing the public 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 wantv tho roads promised them. / Itenerant. Majors Dew Drops. Miss Estolle Folger, one of Central's most charming young ladiep, paid our town a most enjoyable visit last week. Her visit waa not very long, but she was lucky enough to carry awey with her the heart of one of our young men. There was a pic nie at tho Walker-Mc E:moyle Academy by the young people of our town last Saturday. Everybody seemod to enjoy themselves a great deal.

Editors Intelligencer : As law-abiding citizens, and to some extent leaders of j our people, we feel it our imperative duty to show to the world our unanimous con demnation of the crime attompted to be committed recently in our city. We havo mothers, daughters and sisters whose vir tue and chastity are sacred, and we would not, for ono moment, ehield or protect any person guilty of such a foul deed from the full extent of tho law. We know that the moral standard of many of our people is notas high as it should be, but we know scores of the better class who would defend a white or colored woman, even though it cost their lives, in suoh 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 some extent condemned for remaining eilent. 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 murdorors and etand 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. Wo know there were many cool, law-abiding white citizens who would not think of partici pating in such a crime, but there were many others Infuriated with paesion that would not bo controlled at that time. Many times bave wo seen municipal and State and county officials, backed up by cool heads, overpowered by the madoned 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 magnitudo. We also feel that the moral standard of ?coros of our people is so high that they would not, lor a moment, ontertain the idea of harboring or socroting tho accused in their homes, and as the olfioers made no oxcoptious, but searched all of our homes, regardless of the good name we havo boon trying to build up during our life time, hence wo wore all placed on the samo basi* with the rabble of the city.

C, July 19th, 1897. Home Matters in Washington. Washington, July 15.?Senator Till man succeeded to-day in passing his dis pensary bill through the Senate without objection. This bill provides that all fer mented, distilled or other liquor trans ported Into any 8tate or Territory for use, consumption or sale shall be subject to the operation and effect of the laws of such State, and shall not be exempt by reason of being introduced in original pakages for private use or otherwise, and each State shall have absolute control of Buch liquors within its borders, by whomso ever produced and for whatever use Im ported: Provided, that nothing herein contained shall be construed as affecting the internal revenue laws of the United States or of liquors in transit through such States. The general effect of the bill is to carry out the provisions of the South Carolina dlepensary law, notwith standing the numerous decisions obnox ious to the enforcement of said Jaw. The bill passed the Senate without a word of discussion by unanimous consent. It was reported from the commerce com mittee more than a month ago, and Sena tor Tillraan has been industriously at work upon it ever since. The trouble will come wh?jn the at tempt is made to pass it through the House. Senator Tillman admits that be hardly expects to get the House to pass upon it during the present session, but he looks for favorable action next winter. The position of the bill is improved by its passage through the Senate, although many bills have failed to becomo laws af ter having passed one branch of Con gress. Senator Bacon says the House conferees are making a stubborn fight against free cotton bagging and free cotton ties, and the friends o? the Senate amendment will have a hard fight to keep those articles off the dutiable list. The Senate confer ees Insist that these articles shall be on the free list, and the question may have to be fought out in open session again. Senator Bacon is of the opinion that tho House will finally yield to the Senate on these Items. He say i he has every reason to believe that the duty on raw cotton imposed by the Senate will ?tand.?Special to News and Courier._ ? The Rev.

To the Editor of the News and Courier: I "was appointed a life trustee of Clemson College without my knowledge or con sont. At great inconvenience and much personal sacrifice I ha?O endeavored to discharge toy full duty from the founda tion of the College to the present timo. Criticisms, flings and sneers at the board have hitherto failed to provoke ?rom mo a reply. I have kept the oven tenor of my way, sustained by a consciousness of the fact that I am but ono tieraberofa board of thirteeu, and thnf I have always tried to do my duty with an eye single to the highest and best intercuts of the whole people, to whom the College belongs. Even now I write in the interest of others rather than myself, and for the eake 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 right 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 ol health and the trustee--, the 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 o? fever at Clem eon,) which they now admit was not care fully and fully prepared. The board of trustees, anxious for 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 tobe noverai g? avo 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"Sen in the com mittee's oflicial report. Another member feels it his duty to place the board of trustees, the College authorities and all connected therewith under the surgeon's knife. After flaying them alive, he pro ceeds to offer them up as a sacrifice?a part, fittingly, upon "Aiount Ignorance" and apart upon "Mount Imbecility." But the un kindest cut of all io 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 nighte of ceaseless viv 'i, 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 woids of wisdom and of soberness one has a right to expect from a distin guished scientific expert writing a State paper on so grave a subject. I half sus peot my esteemed friend will admit the soft impeachment. Others in reply have written with heat and bitterness. A fourth deliverance Is promised by the board of health ; and the end is 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 euro, will do all in their power to make the sanitary condition of the College all that it ought to be. Then, if wise councils prevail, Clemson College will indeed beone of the brightest gems in the educational crown of the State. j. E. Wanxamakeu, Marvellous Eesults From a letter written by Rev. J. Gun derman, of Dimondale, Mich., we are per mitted to make this extract : "I have no hesitation in recommending Dr. King's New Discovery, aa the results were almost marvellous in the case of my wife.

The crowd was gather ed about wliero formerly stood a tall pine, just south of Anderson County's venera ble Court House.

The centre of attraction was a gentle man of ordinary appearance, weighing about one hundred and fifty.
