A circuit judge assaulted the governor of the State. Shame! Shame! Let it be proclaimed all over the State that the man who so far forgets the high honor and trust reposed in him by the people shall be asked to step down and out. Judge Earle violently assaulted the person of Governor Evans, for what ? Be cause the Governor used a figure of speech which gave Earle an excuse to -do what he seems to have been itch ing to do for several days. The gov ernor said that sines the Tillman let ter exposing the misrepresentations of his opponents, they have not been having so much to sy about Tmlman, but that they "were like little fie with their tails cut ofE"' Judge Earle fancied himself insulted, and in a very insolent and intimidating man ner attempted to make the Governor quail before him, but the Governor, although a much smaller man, did not quail and the Judge struck at him; in return hegot his face badly pum atThe Governor, to use a slang epression, brought the claret from the Judge's busted jaw. This affair is a blot on the State, a dis grace that brings the blush of shame to the cheeks of all good citizens. We have been very careful as to how we pronounced judgment. It is well known that we are emphatically op posed to Judge Earle, and last week we gave our reasons, and it is also known that we favor Governor Evans and our reasons have been given for supporting him. To avoid being ac csed of taking a prejudiced view of this deplorable affair, we carefully read the accounts from all of the cor respondents and then came to the honest conclusion that Governor Evans only did what any other man would do under the circumstances. Judge Earle assaulted him and the Governor defended himself. He got the best of the Judge and brought the blood from his face. It was only because he happened to get in his blow right, but it makes no difference who got the best of the fight, the question is who is to blame for the disgraceful scene. He claimed that Governor Evans offended him at Chesterfield, but the newspaper re ports do not show that Earle let it be known that Evans's joke at Chester fiel was offensive to him until the party reached Bennfttsville, after having driven in private carriages from Chesterfield to Cheraw, one be hind the other, and then, not until Evans was up making his speech. If Judge Earle is the courageous man he would have us believe, when he became offended at the Governor's joke, he would have, after the meet ing, informed the Governor that such jokes were offensive to him, and we have no doubt the Governor would have expressed regrets. But Earle did not do this; he waited for an op portunity and when Florence was reached, a place where the bitterest haters of the administration reside, he takes a little figure of speech for an excuse to win the plaudits of the Governor's enemies. Well, he suc ceeded, for as soon as he assaulted the Governor the Conservatives went to his side and stood ready and wil ing to nght for the man they despise, simply because he struck the Govern or who had recently threatened to put Florence under a metropolitan police,for not closing up blind tigers. The sr.me crowd would have applaud ed a aegro fresh from the penititen tiary under the same circumstances. If it was not Earle's purpose to win the plaudits of those administra tion haters at Florence, why did he not, when he rose to inquire if the Governor referred to him, do so in a manner to bring back a kind answer? No, he rose in that audience and in an intimidating and bull-dozing man ner attempted to make the Governor hack, and when the Governor re plied in a rather apologetic manner Judge Earle imagined he saw the white feather; this emboldened him, and becoming more bull-dozing than before, he again pressed his question. Governor Evans is a man; he looked his adversary square in the face and told him who he meant. Earle strikes and in return is struck; then what a scene-a circuit judge stands before on excited multitude with blood trickling down his cheeks drawn from him by the fist of the Governor of the State. Hundreds of men, wild with excitement, and one little indis cretion would have caused the floor of that court house to be flooded with human blood. For the sake of argument let us say the remark of Governor Evans was insulting, which we do not admit, is that any reason for a judge to pre cipitate a riot ? If the Governor of fended Judge Earle, it was Earle's right to require the Governor to make amends for the offence, but he should have done it in a gentlemanly manner and not after the manner of a ruffian or tough. The people of this State do not propose to send a man to the Senate on his fighting abilities. If fighting is the necessary requisite to make a good Senator, then we would like to import a Fitz simmons, Sullivan or Corbett. Judge Earle need not think he can fight his way into the Senate. Nor need be think that the people are being blinded by his tactics; they notice that at every meeting he harasses the Governor all through that gentleman's speeches with all kinds of questions. They also notice that the Judge is exasperating in his conduct towards the Governor and they are believing that the affair at Florence was a cold blooded and premeditated affair; that it was a part of the program of the anti-administration forces mapped out by Irby, who is supposed to have something to do with Earle's candi dacy. IF THERE IS CORRUTPTION PROVE IT. At the campaign flheeling inthisplace Duncan asserted that all the officers in the State house were Governor Evans's enemies and when he made this bold assertion we did not be lieve it, and later when we heard several of the State house officers repudiated the statement we were convinced of the falsity of the as sertion, but that there is some truth in what Duncan said, we are now be gining to believe. Governor Evans has enemies in the State house and they are in the office of Duncan's father-in-law, the Secretary of State, where Duncan and a brother is em ployed,and that is about whereDuncan got his idea tbat the whole State house w-as opposed to the Governor. Time will tell the truth, and the animus existing against the governor in the Secretary of State's office will be revealed. If President Patterson will reconvene the State convention in time to open the doors for candidate pledges, we are sure that the cat will jump out of the bag and there will be some mighty big explaining in order, but as things stand now, it would be useless to waste time bat tering at a stone wall with a tooth pick. We notice that an editorial from the "Euxes has disturbed some of the campaigners considerably, but we cannot gather enough from the news paper reports to ascertain what hurts them. If our information is correct we understand that Secretary of State Tompkins denies that he got any re bates in the dispensary business. We certainly did not say that he did, nor do we believe that Colonel Tompkins is in any land deal- with his son-in law Duncan. What we said was based entirely upon the rumors that have filled the air for the past two years, viz- that somebody got rebates. Tompkins was on the board; the governor proposes a change which gives offense; son-in-law Duncan who is Tompkin's confidential and chief clerk announces himself a candidate against the man who gave offense to his father-in-law; he starts his fight by making insinuations of dishonesty in the bond transaction against the governor who gave offense to the Secretary of State for proposing a change in the dispensary board of control. Now here we are facing rumors of dishonesty in the dispen sary and the bond business. Then it is reported that Son-in-law Duncan made a large land deal recently, and because we had something to say about these things, it has become the subject of discussion on the stump, and Duncan and Tompkins accuses the governor of giving us the information. The governor did not give us any information directly nor indirectly. we said if there is any corruption in the "bond transaction" show it by convincing proof and not by vague insinuations, and we said that if there is any corruption in the dis pensary business show it up also. Duncan has as much right to buy land as anybody else and he can have the titles made in anybody's name he may select, male or female and have them recorded in Lexington or where he pleases, it is all right, but if it took any money that rightfully be longs to the State to buy that land the people have a right to ferrit out whether the money came out of dispensary rebates, commissions, or any other source that did not belong to Duncan. But it would be highly improper to charge that Dun can and some associates have been making money through rebates and commissions, unless the party mak ing the charge is backed up with the proof to sustain it. There is nothing in our editorial that can be construed as a charge on our part, for we would not make a charge of such a character without proof; just why our editorial created such a furore in the office of Secre tary of State Tompkins that should have caused him to go to Chesterfield and give "I don't recollect testimony" in Earles behalf, we fail to under stand. If we did Mr. Tompkins an injustice he had. our whole paper at his disposal in which to set himself straight, and being on friendly terms with the gentleman he could have written to us, and shown us where we did him wrong, but he does not write, and he and Son-in-law Duncan tell their tale of wvoe to a Chesterfield audience and Tompkins is used as Earle's "I don't recollect" witness Was it a put up job for Tompkins, the State cbairman of the Democratic party, to go to Chesterfield to give aid to his Son-in-law Duncan, who is regarded a pacer for Earle? The Time's editorial was certainly a flimsy excuse for the chairman of the party who is a candidate without op position to go to Chesterfield. Evans recommended to the legislature the removal of. State officers from the dispensary board; Tompkins took offense and in our opinion has been fighting Evans ever since, and when the truth is known it will turn out that this is whereon Duncan based his assertion that the State officers were the enemies of the governor. The fact stands forth in blazing let ters that John Gary Evans is not the candidate of a State house ring, hut according to the testimony of a con fidential clerk and son-in-law of Col. Tompkins, who is classed as one of the State house ring, and wvho be came offended at the Governor's ac-. ion in the dispensar y change, John Gary Evans is a thorn in the flesh to the ring and "we will beat him," says the pacer for Earle. JOHN HASKELL ADMITS HIS NE - ARIOUS OCCUPATION. In last Sunday morning's issue of the Columbia State, Colonel John C. Haskell denounces Governor Evans, and hints that Tillman is corrupt, but the Colonel in attempting to tear down these two leaders of the Reform movement, convicts himself of having advised his clients to bribe legislation- He says: "From conver sations I had with him (speaking of Evans) I came to the conclusion that he wanted to be employedi by the railroad- Soon after my professional connection with clearing th e titles of coal and iron property in Virginia1 and Noith Carolina took up so much of my time that I resigned as counsel for the Richmond & Danville railroad, I was-consulted by the officers as to who to retain, and among others, advised them to employ ini some ca pacity Mr. John Gary Evans, as I warned them he would give trouble if not bought." When the Reform movement first started and the charge was made that the railroads had em ployees in the, lobbies of the General Assembly to bribe legislation, and that some of the members on the floor were in the employ of the corpora tions, the charge was indignantly resented, and none protested more indignantly, than did Colonel John . Haskell, who was regarded "king : the gang." But in the letter he publishes he lets his venom get away withlis usual shrewdness and gives himself away. He virtually acknowl edges now, that, which he formerly vehmently denied. A self confessed briber can offer no testimony to the i people of South Carolina which they will believe, and if Colonel Haskell between his tits of madness does not confess that he advised his clients to I bribe legislation, then we admit we can not read english. Colonel Haskell is like the fellow who was drunk and clinging to a lamup post saw a man passing on the other side and he thus soliloquised: "Damn that man," and the man paying no attention to him, the drunken fellow became indignant and between his clenched teeth lie hissed "damn me." If Haskell cannot damn Ben Tillman he surely wants to damn John Gary Evans, and failing lo damn either of them he is willing to be damned himself. That was a reprehensible thing on the part of Duncan to insinuate that Governor Evans went to Senator Till man's to attend a funeral, but that his main purpose was to get Tillman to write him a letter of endorsement.Then after he made the insinuation and saw the bad effect of it, he turned around and endeavored to create the impres sion that Governor Evans was taking Tillman's misfortune as an excuse to win sympathy for himself. Another thing, Duncan produced newspaper dispatches hinting that Evans was engaged to the larrented young lady; Duncan endeavored to make people believe that Evans had these des patches published to aid him in his race. We say that such things are reprehensible and Duncan may talk his lungs out he will never convince anybody but what he is getting paid for the mean work he is engaged in. If our readers will open their eyes they will discover that the apparent in difference towards Earle by the Con servatives is a desceptive sham. We believe that eight out of every ten Anti-administration men will vote for Earle, not that they have confidence in him, but because it will defeat a Reform leader. In this Senatorial fight we do not hesitate to say that every Reform vote cast for Earle is that much towards the breaking up of the Reform cause and turning it over to our opponents. The Conser vatives do not claim Earle, in fact, they speak of him in very uncompli mentary terms and some of them mean what they say, but as a faction they will vote for him. Watch and see! To a man up a tree it looks as if there is a combination between Dun can and Earle to defeat Evans for the Senate. At the Florence meeting we believe it was,Duncan became ceited and dropped the game when he said, "We intend to beat him,because of his sins." Who is We? We means more than I. It means in this particular, that two men have combined against one and the methcds to be resorted to, shall be on the principle of "any thing is fair in love or war." Duncan says,"We"will beat Evans. We wonder if the Florence episode is a part of the "WVe" programe. If it is, then it is Duncan's turn next to find an excuse to become insulted. The State campaigners have made things so hot that we think every county chairman should lay down the rule that no speaker shall be in terrupted by a candidate until the speaker finishes his speech, and then if there are any questions to be asked they must be asked through the county chairman. In this way every speaker will have a fair showing. Otherwise the constant interruptiorns of a speaker is calculated to provoke harsh remarks and it is unfair to the people attending the meetings, many of whom traveled long distances to hear the issues discussed. The Populist party instead of do ing the sensible thing by endorsing Bryan and Sewail, the exponents of the burning siver issue, they played havoc by nonminating Bryan and Tom Watson. This leaves the silver peo ple with a split in their ranks and whether it amounts to anything or not such cranks as Tom Watson, of Georgia, and Marion Butler, of North Carolina, are responsible for the split. With the silverites marching in solid phalanx it is our honest opinion victory will be the result, but divided they are beat at the start. Earle is so anxions to be a Tillman ite now that he rarely ever fails to give Tillman a certificate of good character. He was not asked for it, but he makes it a point at every meeting to let the people know that Tillman is an honest man. WVhat is it for? to catch the votes of Tillman's supporters. Earle is such a great Tillmianite now that it is a pity John Gary Evans did not knock out one of his eyes at Florence so that our scrapper-judge at future meetings might not only claim to be a Tillman ite, but to actually look like Tillman himself. Congressman John L. McLaurin has accepted an invitation to go to Ohio to talk finances against Con gressman Horr.

Behre is a journalist of experience and we can expect a live breezy and spicy paper for the grow ing city of Walterboro'. Old Samps Pope is now trying to organize a white man's Republican party. His address appeared in the Columbia State. He will, no doubt, be a candidate for governor, but it will not amount to a row of pins. Pope joined the "Lily Whites," but after their down fall he had to hunt new pastures to feed upon.The regular Republicans wout hare Pope and now he has got a box of matches to start a hell of his own. Somebody must have touched the spring, because -John Haskell has bobbed up again to spit his vitriol at Evans and Tillman. He has a letter in the Columbia State that might help Earle and Duncan out with their list of questions, but it will have no effect on the voters of this State. The very malice contained in the letter kills it. We are glad to know that the double-teaming methods of Govern or Evans's opponents is having the proper effect. Go where you will and the people are expressing .their disgust at the high plane(?) methods of Earle and Duncan, and especially are they disgusted with Duncan dragging into the campaign the pri vate conversations of Mrs. Tillman.

If our farmer friends will think for a moment they can soon see the advantage of hav ing a market near them. In the first place they can save considerable in a season in time alone, and as "time is money," time saved is money made. In the second place, a market near home is conven ient because farmers can easi ly receive information as to prices, best time for selling, &c. Then, another advantage is knowing the men with whom you deal. Farmers know better the men with whom they have been dealing, and if their business have been of long standing, there is a mu tual conadence existing which makes it more pleasant for home folks to deal with each other. In fact, there are many reasons why farmers should assist in building a home mar ket. Manning will try hard to build up a first-class tobac co market. Let the farmers co-operate with the men who expect to work for their in terest. Tobacco men of experience tell us that it is quite impor tant that farmers should as sort and tie their tobacco as soon after curing as possible. Remember, too, that it is nec essary that care should be taken in the work, and farm ers who have no experience in grading tobacco should seek the advice and help of some one who knowvs how it ought to be done. The Clarendon T obacceo1 Warehouse and Supply Coin pany have received the ser vices of Col. 0. E. Webb, of Winston, N. C., to assist them in organizing and starting the market. Col. Webb has more than twenty years' experience1 in the warehiouse business and is now connected with the largest tobacco warehouse in the Old North State. It will be remembered by many of the farmers in this section that Col. Webb started the Iimmonsville market last year. He is said by bacco men who know be the best tobacco au in the world.
