Between three sod four h-:cce ef the twenty seven :?u.odred voers in Aiken County came cut today to hear the St uatorisl candidates. Te court house was cmcroabiv iled. Tha old tie enthusiasn was mssr e. Messrs. Evans, l-b and YcLaurin each spoke for ac brur or '-ore. slrd6 when Mr. Ma- field's time caine crowd was so weary and had scat:ered so for dinner that he had the :e and good sense to speak for only ten minutes. EX GOVERNOR EVANS. Governor Evans said he rezret cd that there was so small an audience. The issues that are now u have not been publicly discussed for years.: r McLaurin, he said. hid by act repudi ated the true Democratic doctrine and platform and was a Republican under Democratic cloak. McLaurin's poli cy, he urged, would only enrich the few and make the cest of things hig h er to the masses. McLaurin should come out like others, he urged, as a protection Republican. for it was wrong to serve as a Republican in Democratic livery. The Republicans. never gave the Democrats anythong unless they sold cut or gave ten for one. According to the papers. Mc. Laurin is doing e-erything in Wash ington, and it would pay to ask the government to let the State have the $30,000 and brir g the others } ome. He said he would say nothing about Governor Ellerbe's taking the endorse ment of 40,000 voters over the few weazly politicians. He never asked for the appointment. If McLaurin's policy is carried out it will cost the farmers 20 per cent, more on necessa ries. He commented cn a negro paper in Washington urging McLaurin's ap pointment because--of his helping to defeat the "Jim crow" bill. He then at length discussed the Pe ruvian and Egyptian cotton schedules and urged that there could be no pos sible good in it to the farmers, ex ept to pay more for his socks, and hose and clothes in which these cottons are used. Only 100 000 bales of long sta ple was raised in this country and three-fourths of that in Georgia, and the idea was to tax the masses to help a few sea island "negroes" and plant ers. To show that McLaurin was a protectionist he said McLaurin voted for a 300 percent. tax on wool against the 55 per cent. tax in the Wilson bill, as proposed in committee. As to Tillman's position, he did not think it the same as McLaurin's, but if it were Tillman was wrong and he would tell him so and vote against him. lie spoke a long time on the cotton schedules and said it gave the North the very club it wanted with which to rob the South on the compensatory tax on bagging and ties. It was like selling out for a mess of pottage, with the Southern masses getting nothing. The speech of Mr. Evans was full on the tariff issue. COLONEL IRBY. Colonel Irby said he first came to Aiken to see how the Reform move ment would take in this section and and after his visit told Tillmnan all wss safe. He spoke of taking in new blood and that Mr. Hen derson was the biggest catch since 1890. ~Applause ) Said he wanted to talk as a Reformer, Democrat and farmer. Talkin of his being the daddy of Evans he said when Tillman wanted Ellerbe for Governor, he had told Evans he should be Governor, he made Tillman quit i~llerbe and go to Erans and elect him. He said he had always been op posed by "the d.ique" in Cohlunbia. Mayfield was tre child of Shell, are so an orphan; Doncan of the de vil. and McLaurin of Gonzales. He said The State misrepresented him and alleged that it was an ircjus tice and rerversicn to have said he favored factional strife when he said he did not. (This is where the word not was printed to read now.) Hie said The State took advantage cof him at times. As to his Dispensary viewr. he said he wanted the system giver. a fair chance. It was far better than open barrooms. He helped make the 'law and believed the system right yet. If there were any rottenness it should be remedied and if any dishcne sty it should be punished. He would not change either. He objccted to fea tures of the law, esnecially imprison ment in the Penitentiary foi sale of liquor. The campaign had been forced on and a horrible schedule as anged by CoL Neal and others. Talking on, he said i' Tiliman had taken his advice he would have had a wocden man run against McLaurin He explained at length why he aid dot run last year and other political sets, heretofore stats~d. He predicted~ that there would be a Republican and Demccratic party in this State, and in time the sairage plan would be cursed.. Talking of the Reform mnovement, he said if it had not be en for hims Till man would still be selling butter in coperas breeches. The movement, he said, starte d in the defeat of Geti. Gary, in 1880. If Gary had lived he wen id have been elected in 1$S2 and there would have been no cccasio-n for the movement that vindicated Gary's as sassination. He found Tillm.an, pro posed to him at Dan Toninkin's house to run for Governor and Tillmian read ily assented , and he was elected. H e would only have msade the .tght in the Democratic party. He said he would tell what kind of a Demccrat he was and that he was not the sort as the Governor of the State, who has sold cut the Reform party to the Gonzales tarty. He then went for the Governor's course inr - rimanding and dismissing privates and not rq-rimandinsg Gen. Warn. A reprimand was to abuse .and cuts cout, Ellerbe's course was, he sa2d. "harsb, undemocratic arnd unwarrant ed." (Applause.) If the cor'r with Gonzales is carrien dCut, he said, this great fierd of the people is to run the State atid in ten years every factory wculd have negro 'a bor. Negro labor was alreadv used in Charleston, and he un derstood was to be used inl Coum bia. He was opposed to gettong negro labor in mills, as this was ge:tit'g th girls too near negro labor, ta hich we suited to farm labor. While in the Senas he only nae. -- ,j J'l ::tA! .

This was the first he had ever been sassed by at corpe he told in co-,nn t wIts a gae. The talk about his bein g in a corn binatien w-asentir-v to throw people off of the :cent of t:e. combination against him. He conmi mested Lrbv's political shrewdness. As to there being any combination against 'cive', hel an'd Mr. W. D. Evans did as much as anyone to elect dIdrelr, and as to irb's hurrahing about defeating ra'nd wd men, he would remind him I-at Irty defeated Wade Hamptor, who had done much for the tate. He voted for Irby as a party man, and his cnir regret was that Irby did not use cis abilitv and brain to till thplace as he hadbeoped he would. He sate Governor Evans lad been unfair to him in attacking h'm in' his own hcma~ and trying to make cspital out of his opposirng toe 'jim crow car bili. A majority of the Democrats dereate d the bill, and he opposed it because of certain features in it. His people: knew how he stood and that there was nothing in this sort of talk. His pet nie for gererations were kaown in his section, and no one before ever tried to make him appesr as opposed to ; white men and women. He now and has always ren.ed Lis lands to white tenants, aithougn he could, no doubt, 1 get more from colored tenants, but he was doing what heethought rizht and what his people before him had done. His every vote he contended wasI strictly on tte party platform, and he has never been a protectionist. He thought it robbery to get more money than the government wanted. He cited the following as an illustration of his position: Suppose the people voted for a graded school system and carried it, and he paid his taxes to support the system, would there be any sense in his keeping his c ildren, away from the school because he did not believe in graded schools? S: with the tariff. There was a Republi can House and Senate and President, , and none of the Democrats made the bill or had much to say; but should they try to make it as much non sec tional as possible, or nund? Should they try to equalize the bill or not? The bill was going to pass; nothing could defeat it, and the question was whether to sit down and let it go as it was prepared and presented, or to try and get something cut o' it for hi tropie by tryirg to get justice and Iq~ality. He wanted su.ch thines equalized. There was never propcse any inc--ease in the price ct eating1 rice, and the bill does not raise th e cainso as to tax the rice the brew ers have been? using. As to the fallacy of thearuen used rgainst the cotton tax: Las ya sn'ort sipi cotton was brought to New Orleans fromMexico, and more, will come unless there is a duty. Sen mor Bacon, and not he, proposed this tax on cotton. He said he would keep up hins fight for all time for free bag -As to his rot ser ding out his nirsi spech he sent out 3-.000,. as many as h'e could afford, and it wt printedi in nearly every piper, and he stood by it. He was not a nrotectioniist, as r e ad, but held that the people of Soiuth Carolina had as manry rights as any ether people.

He had been in the woods without food over two days .rd running most of the time, so that he was exhausted.

The mob was composed of Met substan tial men. The victim was shortly to have been marritd to a young man in Nashville. Her intended husband came down from Nashville Thursday, and was at West Point.to meet the crowd of avengers and assist them. The young lady left her home early Tuesday mcrning to pick berries. When she did not return for dinner her friends went in search cf her. She was found dead, and tied to a sapling with a strap around her neck.

Cadwaider, the head of one of Philadelphia's oldest and most exclusive :arniies was married Thurs day afternoon in St. Paul's Episcopal Cnurch to Bridget Mary Ryan, his for mer house maid. The marriage caused quite a sensation in society circles in mais city. The bride came to this coun try five years ago from Tipnerary, Ire land, and three years later entered the doctor's employ as house maid.

In addition to the iinht thus thrown or tibx subject. we have made a personal examination of the college buildings and the surrounding grounds. and we aire tnt satisnied at all as to the nature of the fdver which has prevailed or as to is cause. "We have great respect for the sci ertific ability and :earning of the Slate Board of Health. but we are bound to question their conclusions. from the fact that eminent physicians in the neighboring cuut.cs nave de clared the fever at the college to be malarial and not typhoid in its na ture;and there is grave doubt whether more than four cases of typhoid fever have been at the college tb is yar. "The cursory and imperfect exaui nation made by the state oard of Health is shown by the fact that two paipabhe errors are made in their re port. The dairy, which they place under the ban as a probable cause of disease. was not built on a pond which hid been filled in, and there is not a sin de privy on the "surrounding hills" above the dairv. The water from the only privy in the neighbor hood reaches the ravine below the d.rv. Then the statement is made, three separate times, that the water closets should be outside the barracks and not inside, and should be "de tached" from them. In fact, the wa I terciosets were removed from the }uilding more than two years ago,and they are now detached, with an open current of air passing between. Trey are reached by a latticed gallery if teen feet long, and there is no possi bility of sewer gas getting into the building. "But We are not disposed to criticise the State Board of Health, and will carry out all of their recommenda tions that are possible, and leave no stoue unturned to allay all cause of doubt as to the proper sanitation of the college buildings and grounds. "We have never had any trouble before, and we anticipate none in the future other than the usual climatic and unavoidable disease of the coun try. "The vacation will be changed, and instead of being in the winter will be in summer. the scholastic year bein ning hereafter on the second Wednes day in September and closing the sec ona Thursday in June. "Every surgesttd or possible cause of fever will be removed and the building thoroughly disinfected and puigo order. "We d nothesitate to give assur ances that the college will boe guarded against a recurrence of the trouble, if ~it be possible." Chairman Taber Repite. To the Editor of The St-ate: In the latter part of June, the comn mittee of the State board of healhh were instructed to investigate the cuse and type of fever at C1a?isou, and t:> eport the results to the gove anr. This was done and the repu~rto the cannmttee was published turouih ou 1he State. The Re2ister of the 10h of Jui cmntains a statement by ti~ trustees or Clemson, in which they critici-se the report of the commttee and while denying certain statement ma e by them, they ailiem additional ytat. the examnination of Ckmso by the committee had been "very cur sory and imperfect. 'Against profes tional gentlemen, sent u~pon an n prtant .ission by the highest author ity of the State, these charges are grave, and cannot pass unchallenged. The committee were content to deter mine the type of the fever, and by re quest, to make whatever suggestions they thought best. They blamed no one, even by insination, and were very glad to be the means, if possible, of relieving the oilicials of Clemisou of unpleasant embarrassment.

The Liquor Situation-What the Attorney General and Goverror Say-Original Package iDealer Arrested. The State authorities do not seem to have any further doubt as to what the exact meaning of the term "original package" is in view of the reference to the agreement of counsel on both sides as to the delinition of the term made by Judge Simonton in his last deci sion, and are confident that the propo sitions in regard to the term made by the attorney general in his argument will stand the test. But all the same there is a great deal of speculation caong those who are contemplating opening rriginal package stores. They had expected Judge Simonton to fully dcfine the term. But no doubt the court will soon have an opportunity to make the mat ter clear in so many words. Yester day morning a citizen of Chester, act ing as agent for parties residing out side the State, opened an original package store #n that town. He opened up at 7 o'clock; by 5:30 the State oficers had seized his stock and stored it in the county dispensary and the proprietor was in a magistrates of fice to answer to the charge of violat ing the disnensary law. Thiscase will bring the matter up squarely before the ccurt, no doubt, for the proprietor got his liquor in bottles in cases, broke the cases and begun the sale of indi vidual bottles. Ttie situation is quite interesting just now as to the liquor trailic in this State. Judge Simonton's decision has let down the bars for competition for the dispensary. The State intends to take on appeal at once to the United States supreme court. It is hard to tell what will be the fate of the dispen sary during the interim. If the appeal is taken no matter how the case is ad vanced upon the docket a decision can hardly be expected before next spring. Monday morning Attorney General Barber returned to the city. He was greeted with the question: "What is an original package now?" The reply was: "Judge Simonton has not said in this case what he con sidered an original pack age. but he has said that at the h ring it appeared that there was no difference of oninion between counselas to what constituted an original package. From this I in fer that if his nonor entertains views as to what constitutes an original package different from these submitted by counsel on both sides he would hae said so in his opinion. In this connection you might publish the pro positions announced by myself in my argument of the case and conceded by Mr. Nathans, the counsel for the pe titioner." These are the propositions as stated by Attorney General Barber in his ar gument: "What is an original package? From all the cases we announce the following proposition: "I. Any pack ge containing fiva gailot~s or more, when imported by a manufacturer or rectifier and whole sale dealer, to be an original package, within the meaning of law, must bear the s-mps and brands required by the revenue laws of the United States.

Any package containing less than five gallons put up by a manufac turer or rectiner and wholesate dealer is an origial package, without stam ps and brands, so long as it is exactly the condition in which it is imported. II[. When liquors are put up in hot iles and a numiber of bottles are packed in a bcx or case, the box or case is the orsical packiae. IV. If bottles are shipped in cars packed in straw or otherwise, each boul! cannot be considered an origi nal package ard sold as sc. It is thus seen that the policy of the Sta te will be to even deny the right to get original packages of liquor in stamped dlasks shipped within the Szte in carload lots packed in straw Continuing, the attorney general siid that the State authorities had de cided to immediately take an appeal to the supreme court of the United States from the last decision of Judge Simorton He remarked that he wuld use his every endeavor to have the case advanced upon the docket and get a decision at the earliest possible moment. He would have the case heard at the November term of the court and try to secure an early decis ion. The Novem ber term of the court continues fr-om November through to the following spring, so it is seen that there is no telling when the case will be gotten up for argument. It will certainly be several months before av decree can be obtained from the supreme court of the United States ard in the interim Judge Simuonton s decson is the law of the land.

Striking aagainst an embankment it rebcunded, crashine through the coach window, strika. Mrs. Dempsey D. Colley, on the head just below the eyes. Sne fell back senseless with all the front of her head torn off and the blood and brains ocz ing from the hole. Mr. McCord, of Lodisville, Ry and another drummer, were the oniv other passengers on the car. Mr. Mc Cord was sitting jist behind her and caught her as she fell back. He says it was the most shocking sight he ever beheld. Her head was all torn open and the seat and sides of the car were covered with her blood and brains. The iron pipe came through the car like a bullet and went out the other side without stopping. If it had 'eoen hurled from a cannon it could have, come with no greater velocity or done more damage. The pipicg was shipp ed by the Atlanta Supply company ! and consigned to Holland & Co. When the train reached W'ashin ton her father, Capt. W. G. Cade ws there to meet he r, but friends prevent ed him from seeing her in the terribl mangled condition she was ia. Scares of anxious friends and rela tives were on the scene in a few mo ment. Drs. Bill and Simpson were summoned and she was placed in an ambulance and carried to her hotre. They prcnounz-a her injury as fatal and say she cannot live through the night. Dr. Ford. special physician for the Georgia railroad, went up on a speciai train at 3 o'clock in response to a tele gram, but he could do her no good. As Miss Daisy Cade she was one of the most popular young ladies Wash ington ever produced, and her mar riage last October ' Mr. D. D. Colley, of New Orleans, was quite a happy and brilliant one. He was telegraphed for immediately after the accident and will reach there tomorrow night. A special to The Chronicle late last night says that Mrs. Colley died about half past 4 in the a'ternoon without regaining consciousaess. Augusta Cnronicle. A Call. Mr. Chas. H.

He 's -selliig in what he called half pits, but bea.-rse they were not up to tbe usual dispensary measurement the dealer was arrested for violating the law. From this it is seen that the State is goin to take advantage of every possijle ioopbole and make it as troublesoms as posible to every original rackage deaier. The Governor stated Taesday that he mculd cereiniy order seized all li. quors uound in anv place where the ci: pack e had *-en brokenand by oriia: patkage he said he meant the ox or o atr c-eriag in which t inle e n He sa:d that he cer tainly d it and that liquor shoulide e t:- a.ht to the S:ate and sold unlJeis i. origin l pac.:ages and by th: t ter . - means that a certain quantait!y in a buale cannot be taken cu: of a prceae :d sold. In other wordthGovernor holds that each bott:l o liq.ar r . be shipped into tae t &'. -epariteiy in order to con s 'i:ate a oiginal package. He goes fit e r than trhat and says that if bot es are-, saipped by the car load pack ed ss'v csast or paper or any other pac:i g that it mus:t;e sold that way else tie criginal package is broken. If ti;i idea is carried out then the origi nal pks.e people are not going to have any picric and the dispensary will have lttie seio'us opp.;sition. Thus it will be seen that every possi ble technicality will be taken advan tage of by the State ia order to ao hold the monopoly oi the cnsiness. It s even held that the order of Judge Simonton in the case of Mdoore is only a temporary injunction, that being all that was asket for in the complaint and that, therefore, the S.ate has an other cnarce of having the whole thing eapned before Judge Simon ton with the consequent delay which alwa- s attends the settlement of any case. It is likely that szch a point will be taken advautage of for it .oulu be a foolish waste of time and money, but like a draosniag man ev ery straw is being grabbed at by the Sate. While the original package estab lisiments are sure to decrease the pro ts of the dispensary, yet the figures show that the dec tase his not been so serious as ;et, anvd taking them as a criterion the dispensary oficials are i.ciinei to believe -ha: ie basiaess is not Li be seriou- ly initeriered with.
