Good crops will scare the (taunt v/oif from the doors la South Carolina this year. _ _ Small industries help a town wondor fally. Anderson needs more of them and sha muet have them. The more negro office holdere in the South the fewer white Republicans there will be. One instance of getting good out of evil. __ The Japanese minister sayajthe report ed Tappo Spanish alliance against the United States is ridiculous. Everybody know that at the start. Last woek the State Dispensary paid ?15,000 into the State Treasury. This makes $55,009 which the Dispensary has paid hack to the State on the original amount appropriated by the Legislature fur the inauguration of the system. mm * Hon. R. T. Nesbitt, Agricultural Com missioner of Georgia, has issued a circu lar in which he advisee the farmers to gather and market the cotton crop as rap idly as possible. Experience has proved that in the long run itpajB to pursue this plan._ _ Jhe Trustees of Clemeon College met last Wednesday night, but failed tu elect a President A committee, consisting of Gov. Ellerbe, J. E. Wannamaker and M. L. Donaldson, was appointed to consider the candidates for the presidency and re commend a suitable man for the place. The Trastees will meet again in the near fatare to hear the report of this" corn committee. ~\ As Senators Tillman and McLaurin oc cupy ihe same position as to the tariff | question, it would not be a bad idea to fila away the speeches of Irby and Evans and the writings of other leading "Re foraieri*," who are now opposing the election of McLaurin, so the same am munition can be used against Senator Tillman when he offers himself for re election to the United States Senate. The growing extravagance of the American people was never better illus trated than by a recent treasury investi gation. The inquiry into the amount ex pended in personal merchandise in Eu rope, as disclosed by answers from re turning tourists for one year, showed that $40,000,000 was thus spent. This money went for gowns, bonnets, hats, wraps, leather goods, clothing, pictures and presents.

Such squeezing is what causes hard times and stops the circula tion of the American eagle. If it were not for our broad-gauged, enterprising men it would be impossible to build a prosperous city. Floor is rising in price and has reached ?5 a barrel. Last April it cost $4.11, the lowest price of the year. The advance has been steady since, and some of those in the trade think it will continue until war time prices will prevail. The millers say that every advance of one cent in the price of wheat moans an advance of 5 cents in the price of a barrel of flour, and they expect a continuous advance in the price of wheat, basing their opinion on the purchases foreigners, reports of short crops and the fact that this country I has gotten rid of the most ot its surplu?. - m mm - Last Saturday Judge Simonton filed a decision in the case of Guokenheimer & Son vs. W. W. Sellers et al, and three other cases involving virtually the samo points. The cases were brought to settle the vexed question that has been asked ever since the first decision that allowed liquor to be brought into South Carolina In original packages, "What constituted an original package?" Judge Slmonton decided that if a bottle is given to a car rier ouUide the State for shipment into the State, that is an original package. If several bottles are tied together or placed in a barrel, or crate, or box, then the - box, barrel or crate is the original pack age, and muet not be broken for delivery or sale. In the words of the document, an original packago is "the package de livered to the carrier by the importer at the initial place of shipment." -?o * ? - It is stated that the Adjutant and In spector General of the United States Army, Gen. Breckenridge, is making an effort to get a bill through Congress, " which, if passed, will make all graduates oftheSonth Carolina Mi.itary Academy at Charleston eligible to second lieuten ancies in the United States Army. In other words, they will bo able to secure positions in the nation's army but one de gree less than the graduates of the mili tary academy of the United States at West Point. The bill proposes to make the' graduates of all civil mlli'?ary academies of high rank in the country eligible to these positions in the army. It is ex plained that the bill is designed to apply to the institutions heretofore referred to by Inspector General Garllngton, the South Carolina Military Academy, the Virginia Military Institute and Military Academy of Chester, Pa.

Dr. Nardin, Sr., left him in charge of Dr. Nardin, Jr, resting comfortably on a lounge. He convened with the latter and members of his family, and it was thought he would soon be able to return to bis office. In a few minutes, however, he turned on the lounge, end with a few gasps suddenly expired. Neuralgia of the heart ?3 supposed to have caused his death. On 8aturd?y morning at 10 o'clock the funeral services took place at the Baptist Church, being conducted by R?v. Cbas. Manly, D. D., of Greenville, in the pres ence of a large crowd of sorrowing friends. His remains were in charge of the mem bere of Hiram Lodge, No. GS, A. F. M., of which he had long oeen a member, and at the conclusion of the services nt the Church, were escorted to Sdver Brook Cemetery and laid to rest with the impres sive funeral rites of that fraternity. Mr. Stephens was born twelve miles north of Pendleton. in old Pickens dis trict, March 25, 1832, and wes therefore in the G6th year of his age. His school advantages were limited to the country schools of his vicinity, but by appreciation and hard study he obtained a very liberal education. At the age of 20 years he went to Pendleton and entered the employment of Gaillard & Sloans, who were then en gaged In manufacturing carriages, bug gies end wagons. He remained with this firm for five years, and then moved to Fair Play, and opened business on his own account. Honest industry aod fair deal ings soon brought him reputation and success. His manufacture of carriages j and buggies was known far and near for their superiority of workmanship and durability. In 1857 he married Miss Mary Chandler, of Hart County, Ga., who with a grown 6on and daughter survive him, two children having preceded him to the grave. At the breaking ont of the war, havirjg two brothers-in-law in Georgia, ho went to that State and enlisted in Co. D. lG'.h Georgia Infantry. Subsequently he ob tained his discharge from this Company and immediately entered the Tch South Carolina, Co. G, Gary's brigade of Cavalry. Mr. Stephens was a gallant soldier, and Berved to the close of the war. Il9 was in a number of olose engagements, but escap ed without being wounded. At the close of the war he was a prisoner, a-td had been for five months previous. He retched home in July, 1865, to find himself, as did bo many more, almost penniless. After farming for several years he enter ed his old business again, and by careful industry soon found himself prospering. He moved to Anderson in 1875 and formed a partnership with Mr. C. A. Reed, under the firm name of Reed & Stephens, for the manufacture of vehicles, and continued in this firm until ISSO, when it was dissolved Since then he has continued the business alone. In his young manhood, while at Pendle ton, Mr. Stephens joined the Baptist Church, and throughout bis life was a most zealous end consistent member. For a number of years past he occupied the office of deacon of the Baptist ChurcJ)^*' this city^Hq w??^/?Bt ?jjent citizen, and had ffi?^?nfideuce and good will of every acquaintance. He had &erved as an Alderman of tho city, and In every rela tion of life discharged his duties most faithfully. His memory will long be cher ished by his many friends, who deeply oympatbize with the loved ones who are left to monrn his death. Beaverdam Association. Editort Intelligencer : The annual meet ing of Beaverdam Baptist Association at Broyles, in this County, running through Tuesday, Wednesday aud Thursday of last week, proved to be an occasion of un usual interest. Although one of the youngest, it is rapididly impressing itself as one of the most vigorous and influen tial of the numerous Associations in the State. Organized ten or twelve years ago at Fair Play, in Oconee, by a union of Bethel and Fork Associations, each of which was weak numerically and finan cially, it already numbers thirty-fivo Churches, and accessions are made at every annual meetiDg. The territory covered comprises nearly all of Oconee aud some halfa dozsn Churches in Anderson Coun ty. The last Church to seek memberihip with the Association ?3 Fant's Grove, built during the past Associational year, and located in the strip of Oconee border iog the east bank of the Seneca Rev. W. W. Leathers, who has been moderator for the last Bavera! successive meetiogs, and who previously served the A8SOCiation as e'erkin an eminently satis factory manner, was re-elected. Rev. M. C. Birton, the young and promising eon of the late '.ev. H. M. Barton, was re elected c!ork. In the enforced absence of the appointee, Rev J. H. Stone, the R-iV. V. i. MH?ters, the representative of the Baptist Courier, delivered a strong and thoughtful introductory sermon. The reports Bent In by tbe various Churches show accessions by experience in nearly every instance, but it Is doubtful if there baa been any net gain to the gen eral membership Twenty seven Churches reporting?and this gives eightdelicquents out of a total of thirty-five, or 22 per cent, a dereliction we are sure the brethren will look after?give a total membership of2 2G0. The total contributions by these twentv-teven churches to all objects is ?3,310 20, or ?1 4G p?r member. This is not a bad showing. The Church making the largest average contribution per mem ber is Seneca, which gave $S.14 per mem ber. Tho avera-o valuation of Church buildings is ?522, which is of Itself an en couraging showing, when we rc-rnember that nearly ell of these are in the couutry places. The fund* raised areas foilows : Pastors' salaries ?2175, 23 Churches contributing ; home expanses S?95 G7, 17 Churches con tributiDg ; State missione ?155 4S 20 Churches contributing ; home missions S10G 04. 15 Cburehes contributing ; foreign mieslone 3228.50, 17 Churches contribu ting; orphanage 31419 9 Churches con tributing ; education S15.78, 4 Churches? Seneca, Newry, South Union and Sh?ob (Anderson) contributing ; aged ministers SG0 96.12 Churches contributiog ; building Churches 811 30 2 Churches contributing; other objects $ 9.31, 5 Churches oontribu ting ; minutes ?17 97, 2G Churches contribu ting. If there has been no increase in tbe membership during the year, it is observed that progress has been made in tho matter of contribution?, that giving as a means of grace is more generally recognized and appreciated. Rev. T. M. B-dley was present, of course he was, and made his usual strong plea for State missions, and pocketed some ?G0 for his hour's work. Rev. J. L. Vas?, who has done so much to carry the Connie Maxwell Orphanage successfully through the experimental stage and biing it to that degree of efficiency and usefulness that makee it the pride of every Baptist worthy of the name in the State, was present, too, and made a good impression and collec tion Rev. R N. Pratt, the fiuancial agent of Furman University, was on band and made a powerful plea for higher Chris tian education All these addresses aside from immedi ate reeults in the shapo of cash down are bound to do good in the tini9 to come. They put people to thinking and aro edu cative. Tbe next meeting of the Associa tion will convene on Tuesday before tbe second Sunday in August, 1898, with Bea verdam Church at Fair Play. Visitor.

Sixty miles thoro and back, the route he traveled, and It was made, he says, in 5 hours and 35 minutes, early in the morning and lato in tho evo ning, giving him nearly a wholo day with those clever people.

McGee and Miss Lou Camp bell left on the 1st inst. for Gainesville, Ga., on a relative trip. They will return some time this week. Prof. J. F. Harper, of this place, is still holding the fort at Iva teaching tbe young idea to shoot. Misa Emma Latban has charge of tho school at Liuoity. Miss Lathan is an ex cellent lady, and the patrons speak in highest ternes of her. Mr. B. B. Evans is off on an extended trip through Georgia, and will be gone several days. A goodly number of our people have been attending tho tent .meeting at tho Ridge during the past week. Mrs. Sallio Seigler and family, from Slate, Ga., spent a few days here recently visiting tho family of J. M. Stacks. Found, on the road leading from this place to Genoro?teo church, one night last week by a lady, ono "Brown Cape " For particulars, t;eo Ernest Hall. We have heard and read many sto ries about absent-minded people, but thero is a man living ne?r here that boats thorn all. Ho came hero to Church re cently, and when tho congregation was dismissed ho took leg-bail for home, and travelled a milo before he romombercd that he had lelt his mulo and saddlo at church. A mackintosh (lady's) wa3 picked up near the church during tho Association, and is now in possession of Mr. E. L. Hall. Tbe owner Ct.n get it by calling and describing samo. A very email bait catches some people. A trout seldom bites at an angleworm, and a sucker never gets caught with a miunow. Amudcatwill take any thing. What is true of fishes is true of men, aud Mr. F. W. ??anister is no exception to the saying because we caught him with a pin hook with no bait at all. Mr. Locko tells us that upon asking a blind man what he tboi ght scarlet was he answered that he believed it was like the sound of a trumpet. He was forced to form his conceptions of idea=, which ho had not, by those which he had. In the same manner an envious man cannot but see perfections, yet, having contracted the distemper of *, cquired blindness, ho will not own then:, but will sometimes de grade or misrepresent things which are excollent. Just so with Mr. Banister. For instance, be is charged with saying that the arbor was a very shabby affair, that the negroes iu his section built bet ter ones, and then a few remarks similar about the paiutiDg of tho church, which resulted in an indignation moetiug. Con sequently, we voiced the sentiment of the community, with porhaps a few ex ceptions. Now, Mr. Banister, if you will pardon us, we will undertake to explain your explanation. You say the seats wero made of old fiooring planks, con taining nail;*, etc., also, some of them wore old slat s. But wo wish to state that lumber had been provided for the seats, plenty and to spare, but almostat tbe last moment the good people decided to "swing" the ceiling in tho new church, and was obliged to use a portion of the lumber provided for the seats at the ar bor, hence a fow flooring planks had to bo ueed, but not a singlo slab. After tbe seats were briiBhod clean and supported, and that they wero comfortable was evi dent lrom tho fact that they wore filled during each Bervice, and tho best atten tion prevailed, which could not bave been the case had they been as you say thoy were. Tho Baptist Courier, dated August 5th, has this to say: "Union Church, with which the Associa tion met, is not as strong as some of the other churches, but the abundant way in which they provided for the comfort of the delegates and multitudinous visitors left nothing to bo desired." And now tho good people say that you came down hero to gather fishes and loavos, or, in other words, to mako money, and that that you failed, hence your article last week." However, wo have no ill will to wards you, and don't mind telling you how to mako money. 1st. Take a live dollar bill aud fold it several times; un fold, and you will lind it in croases. Keep the increase and sond the original bill to tho Editor for printing that silly article of yours last week. Then tako a silver dol lar, drop it on the lloor and you will no tice the ring it makes. < ;iyo tho ring to your wife and seud tho dollar to tho man who put you onto tho scheme. For your careful consideration I will add that Saul, while hunting his father's "asses," stum bled upon a kingdom, and tumbled from tho kingdom playing tho meanest ass that ever kickod or brayed. I am just Pedj-.o. Townville Items. Wo attended tho Beaverdam Associa tion and speni a pleasant timo listening to those grand men talk, such as T. M. Bailey, J. L. Vaae, J. R, Karle, J. P. Sin gleton and many others too todious to mention ; but at tho closo of tho session on Thursday evening, and whilo wo woro in the houso, 'thoro camo ono of tho worst storms that it has ever been our unhappy lot to bo in.

Dobbins, -with Mrs. Gray, wore sitting in their carriage and a largo treo blow down on it, seriously hurting Mrs. Dobbins and badly burling Mrs. Gray. Mrs. Dobbins is not expect ed to Ilvo. The church, wbich was pack ed with peonie, swayed back and forth, but did not fall. Wo praise God that it was no worso than it was, while we dcep lj' sympathise with those tbat were hurt and those who suffered loss. Later news savs tbat Mrs. Dobbins is improving a little. Mesera.

ANDERSON, August 4.?The campaign meeting to-day was attended by about six or seven hundred of the five thousand voters of this county. The audience was good-natured, quiet and generally un demonstrative. It might be said for whom this audience appeared to be, but that might provoke tho charge of partml ity, which is so studiously ought to be avoided. Mr. Maylield to-day was vig orous in what ho had to say about the reply of Governor Ellerbe and that alleged double dealing. He talked right out by way of supplementing what was printed Sunday. To-day Governor Evaue c .me out boldly in defence of his cause with the metropolitan police, and said tbat if he was to be condemned Governor Ellerbe was lully as liable to condemnation by Mr. McLaurin. The meeting was alto gether harmonious and intortatlng. mr. mayfield began by saying he had nothing to do with combinations, and insisted he never approved of combinations. He said in responso to the charge tbat he was in a combination tbat he struck back, and that it was in the interest of McLaurin, and was made up of Ellerbe, Neal, Mc Laurin and the Record. He repeated his story of how the stock of the paper was subscribed, and asked whether it was fair that this paper, supported by these men, should attack him and he not strike back. He then repeated the statement made as to tho removal of the metropolitan police, and said ho bad a letter from Mr. Ashley saying thatGuvernor Ellerbe bad promised him to remove the metropolitan police. He could show tbat the falsehood about the matter did not He in his breast, but ?d that ot the Governor. On the 23th of February Governor Ellerbo told Mr. Cru m tbat all of the aldermen must sign. Martin wanted this in writing, so Mr. Cru m wrote Governor Ellerbo. This was before the Legislature adjourned. Gov ernor Ellerbe knew all the Aldermen would not sign the agreement, and this course was pursued, he believed, to get an excuse lor not removing the police. He went over tho whole matter, as printed on Sunday. He thought somo lawyer wroto the "agreement;" Ellerbe did not do so. In the body of his interview El lerbe said he wrote several letters, and in a postscript he says he wrote Crum. Mr. Maylield insisted tbat Ellerbe had a secret agreement about the police, while giving the masses to understand he would remove the police. When Ellerbe accused him of falsehood Ellerbe convicted him self. Before the final bar of justice El lerbo would be couvictea of double deal ing with Charleston and utterly false. Majlield said that he had proved his charges, every one, and that Ellerbe was not worthy toocenpy the seu> oi'Governor. Ho would not have made these chargea If ho had not been attacked by tho Record, owned and controlled by McLaurin, El lorbo aud Neal. Mr. May-field went over the whole matter and said hie latest writ ten proof was from Messrs. Ashley and Hderton. Ashley, Bacot and all could provo everything he charged. Mr. May Hold then branched off and outlined bis local option dispensary plan. He went for the ' open-handed outrage" in Spar tanburg, and said he did not know by whoso orders thoy were there, but the constables were charged with walking tho streets electioneering for certain can didate?. The dispensary, ho charged, was dishonestly conducted. Mr. Latimer wanted to know how the Latimer bill would extend the dispensary law at all. Mr. Latimer said ho believed in local self-government, and tbat was all there was in the bill. Mr. Maylield explained that the bill provides tbat the Stato may engage in the liquor business, and that was what he opposed. Mr. Latimer: "The bill simply gives tho right to tbo Stato to 6 11 liquor." Mr. Mnyfleld said this was what he op Eosed, and McLaurin favored the Latimer ill. Tho law as now enforced is a stench in the nostrils or the people, and should be abolished. He vigorously denounced the constabulary system. He helped to pass the law, but God knows he never expected such uso to be made of it. What he wantod was personal liberty. He thon attacked McLaurin's tariff views, and made his light regardless of factional lines, lie could point to three Republi can ideas of McLauriu, and nothing done for the good of his people. mr, vans said that tho poople of Anderson never woro any man's collar, and that when it promised tho old farmers showed differ ently. Some people will somo time see they can't promise tho vote of Anderson. He then branched off, and eaid no one need to try to twit him about tbo metro politan police. No man can accuse him of duplicity or taking a back track, He wanted to say to Mr. McLaurin that be cause ho thought him unpopular in Charleston thoro was no use for him to toll him tho metropolitan police was un knowu to Calhouu. Ho wantod to say that he put the metropolitan police on Charitston, and bad no regrets for it, and stood to-day whoro he then Btood. Tho Legislature roplacod the law on tho books to soe tbo dispensary law enforced, and he had to use it to carry out tho lawa as aworn to do. Charleston thought he was blulllngand refused to bring in true bills, but when he applied the metropolitan police law he got seventeen convictions, and an honest law3'er told him for a long lime Charleston had had hor first honest jurios, and besides thoy collected ?7,000 in lines. Ho wanted Anderson and Charles ton put on tho same plane. McLaurin had said if ho had beon Governor ho would havo removed the police. Governor El lerbe didn't do it, yet ho says Governor Ellerbe is an honest, conscientious man, Thon how can he say Ellerbe did right in keeping tho polico and be (Evans) did wrong in putting It there? Yet he does not censurjfKUerbo, but censures Evans. Ellerbe h^felvice and Evana experience to go by. He could not aee how Mc Laurin could taunt him, and come along and cover up Ellerbe. He believed El lerbo did right. Ho did not believe El lorbe would da anythingagainst him. Ho liad nothing pai if:, t Ellerbe and had done much for bim ; oven if he would try to work against him, ho believed the people acted for themselves. He then went on to mako a strong tariff speech, and said if Tillman and McLanrln were on the samo platform and agreed, ho did not be lievo Tillman's or McLaurin's position would be endorsed. Evans said if Charles ton voted for him he would be pleased, but ho was not crying or bootlicking for votes. E vain attacked McLanrln on his new "evangftlj" and thon his free raw ma terial views, .do ridiculed tho expressions of Republican newspapers on McLaurir. He argued that McLuurin was convicted by his own statements of advocating Re publican doctrines. The farmer wh" wears the clothes pays tho duties Mc Laurin would impose. The South has paid too much already. Bailey wante protection fo ? wool, as he wauts to pro tect a little wool they raise in Texas. Ho made much of the alleged statement of McLaurin that "we bavelingerdd around the gravo of C'alhoun too long." McLau rin has gone ?vith the champagne crowd, and has forge tten his placo down hero. Tho farmer has no share in protection, no matter how it is pnt. He said Mc Laurin should have gone with the Re publicans, like Miles Hazzard, of George town. Mr. ICvans was frequently ap plauded. mr. m'laurin said he thoujht ho could satisfactorily answer every point macTo against hir^ to any fair-miaded man. He did not see why he should be attacked as to ? ho dis pensary bil l, when Evans, the father of the bill, was here. The Latimer bill, he said, should bave been passed, as a mat ter of Stat6'e rights. It was voted for by every Demociat in the Senate. It simply carried out the intention of the Wilson Act. All that was wanted was to let the people regalate their own affairs. He wanted to know why when he had to answer three speeches, and make his own ho should have to defend Governor Eller be. These are all State matters, and should not be forced into this national cam paign. He aaid all of them were running after him. He was not here to j oke, but to render an account of his stewardship. Mr. Evans had talked as if he (McLaurin) had some power in framing a tariff bill, as if he could fix the bill. A Democrat is almost powerless. He first defended his raw material principles. He said he never eaid anything against Calhoun's memory, and always defended him, and stood on Calhoun's principle. Free raw material was left-banded protection, and even more insidious and dangerous. He took exactly the position of Cal houn in xs40. He spoke as rapidly and forcibly as he conld as to the Dingloy bill and his position on it. He took up the only fight that could have been made against the tariff iniquity. He made his fights and took his position when Gen. Earle was in the full power of health, and never until there wae a va cancy and they wanted his office was thore the insulting insinuation that ha was a Republican. He tried to point out tho hoi ibi? inequalities of the tariff bill, and his and Tillman's ficht was the only way it could be done. He could not see why a duty on wheat should be support ed and not one on cotton. Ev5ry ?"?QlU? name^Qber^^i^-Uu? duty on wheat an?rfio was sick and tired of seeing this sectional tariff. Tho Democratic \Vilson bill had protection in it. The duty on cotton was, if nothing more, a good pre cautionary measure. He read a strong letter from Mr. Fred O. Brown, of An derson, tho largest cotton buyer here. Mr. Brown defended Mr, McLaurin's cotton views on the ground that the duty was necessary to protect Allan cotton against Egyptian cotton that came in competition free of duty. He could not free how tho short staple man could bo icjured by the duty proposed. Mr. Mc Laurin went on to Bay now he triad to benefit this promising section, and then went on to explain His vote on lumbor and orossties and rice. He said ho felt it his duty to stand by his people, and had it not been for this campaign nobody would have heard of these attacks on his record. He took his position before Tillman took his, although it was identical. He was called a Republican simply because he tried to stand up for his people. His purpose had been to get every free silver man to work together, and they have to be given a platform big and broad enough for all to stand on. He said Evans' talking of Bailey being a little Texas pol itician was like a toothpick talking of a telegraph pole. (Applause.) Mr. Mc Laurin was well applauded. Col. spoke last. He said ho was not goiug to talk long. Tbo liar, be said, was still abroad. He would allow no friend to at tack the personal rocord of his opponents. They found some one in North Carolina to daddy the lie. No one here was mean enough to do so. Ho knew it was a lie, but it bad to be nailed to the cross. He then read the following letter: Trenton, 8. C, July 30, 1897. Hon. J. L. .V?. Irby?Dear Sir: I have just returned from "Mooresville, C, and write to s;iy the interview copied in the State from tho Charlotte Chronicle is a fake. I did not see a reporter as I pass ed through Charlotte Sunday, and I have had nothing to say about your candidacy I do this in justice to myself as well as you. Iam absolutely hands off in the Senatorial raco. Yours truly, R. Tillman. This was just what he expected. He ridiculed the idea that he was in any combination against McLanrln, or that he was running with Evans. This all took well. Ho wbs not pleading persecu tion, but was telling facts. He was fight ing tho world, the flesh and the devil? Gonzalos, Ellerbe and Neal. It was fine to think of big fat Bill Neal lying up with Gonzales. Neal actually did not want the Conservatives to vote way back yon der, and thoy now wanted a now party, Ho supposed a Republican party, because McLaurin is to head it. The newspapers did not once love McLaurin, that is, tho State, the ;sTows and Courierand tho Tom Tit Herald.. McLaurin would have had a walk-over had it not been for his en tering tho . , and after he has broken the pony (McLaurin) tbo others want to ride him. Some 0116 ggestod that Irby get to facts and not run. Col. Irby then wont on to say that what the people wantod was Democracy, and that was why he ran. lie condemned the threatoned bolt of the National Con vention, bceauso he condemned bolting in 1S90. The politicians tried to unload him because he could not be used like putty, and tho only thing against him was that ho was a Democrat, and for that he was sacrificed. Latimer and Strait were never taken off the black list. He did not know why McLaurin was taken off the black list, and he knew the friends of Butler claim that be was for Butler against Tillman. He had the right to run for office whether Mr. Ellerbe will use the constabulary against him or not. "Why is it that Gonzales, who has been fighting the people for six years, takes up Mc Laurin? Is it as an available candidate to split the Reform log? Why should Neal fight him? He had left his work to go to Laurens and do political work. The newspapers and others wanted McLaurin because they wanted a new party and wanted to relegate the old leaders. He was offered any duty he wanted on rice if he would yote for the Wilson bill, but he would not. He did not want the Wil son bill, but it was the best possible. He said Samps Pope was a good bed-felloW for McLaurin, and some timo ho would explain the whole of that Murphy mat ter. It was easily explained If pe had timo. Thore was not a blur or blemish on his record. He was a Democrat and Reformer above all things. Col. Irby spoke perhaps longer than he expected. Tho matter Mr. Mayfield referred to as having the earmarks of a lawyer, was an Interview in the Charleston Critic, and not the agreement. The meeting to-morrow will bo held at Greenwood, and the ?? hedules for reaching that place from here are poor. Free Pills. Sond your address to H. E.

Fl was orni uf iliosii hot Summer days In June?I now recall the timo exactly? it was June. 1M>7. The crowd was gather ed about wVere formerly stood a tall pine, Just south of Anderson County's venera ble Court House. That something out of the ordinary was transpiring was eviden ced by the jam and push. Tho;e on the outor circle wire scrambling to get inside, while those on the iuner circle conceded their ground reluctantly. U?ekss to say it, we joined the PUSH. The centre of attraction was a gentle man of ordinary appearance, weighi&g about one hundred and fifty. To say there was nothing in the appeal ance of the man to attract special attention is putting it mild, but to H?t?n to his tale of woe would touch a sympathetic chord in the most calions nature.
