To this Cnwavy says:
"1 didn' o that I had an enenmy
in the vcrd." His w.ife sob'ed her
assent and the neghbors who caue :o
c)mfort the b reavd cnes nave sar
row fut Scqu.eence. Crcwds gather
e.d about t- corz:ers acd j:cent to the
Ccnway home all da, eager to hear
the barest rumors of the stolen isd.
A manly, daring little chap, t .ey all
said be w::s, a_ d, notwithstaning his
see, more than likely to run along
with any strarger who spoke to bi:n
pleasantly.
Threats of l r ching were heard f rom
the mouths of men, who thought of
their own chiidren. Organ'zad parties
of searchers scoured the woou:d bilns
just rorth of Albany, for there bands
of tramps are wont to make their
camps pending their jouroeyirg on
ward, tine piaece bein qai!e desonLte
and safe fro paolce iLspection, out
-ear to the railroiads.
Ony o~e gless of hCoe came to the
r parents d iig tne day. Mlichxali Dol
Lard, a Demcratic polit'cian and city
contractor, told of seeing two men go
ing southwad on North Pearl street,
two blocks frot the Conway home,
shortly af:er 9 o'clcek Moncay mor
ning. A small boy, whom he thotght
might have been Johnnie Conway,
was between the trt. Tce lad had
given a hand to each. Dallard can
only say that one man was well dress
ed aznd the other was iin wor-king
clothes This description by Dollard
is corrobcrative of the testimony cf
neighbo-s of the Conwsys, who tell cf
two men who bounged about Colony
street on Sunday night near the Con
way bcuse. They stopped at the stoop
of No. 103. Coloryv street and asked
where the Con way s lived. Being told,
the two turned in a different direction
and loafed in the shadow of a high
building. The universal excitement
in the neighborhood caused the neigh
bors to rack their m ~r.ories, n it
dlay the Conways were told and in
formi d the police.
One of the men was hall, nct sicut,
and ungainly. HL were dark clo:hes
- an d had a broad livid cardtgnaly
acm oss his cheek, T be other one was
* short and sicut, ar~d wore ciothes of
light color. One reihbor sa:ys this
- man was extraordinari well dressed
and carriedh ai~sel le a g'entlemnan.
On these clews the polce are work
ing. The alarm ha s been sent broad
cast and co-operatin is espected from
the police of all sectiors of the State.
It was learned Monday nigtht that
the Troy police had information t'cat
' t' 'o men accompanied by a small boy
answering generally to tte description
of Johnny Conway had been seen in'
a motor car amongn a ecmpany of Ge
irsns, who we-re becar.d to a saenrger
fest in Watervilet, ire miles from
Albany.
Althcuth the po i:e stillnnan
that thle lad and his 'intors are i
or near Albany, itci knon that ex
traordirary stWcrts ""-ce been madste to
c xcite tihe energies of the police at

gaii ?e l wea c he speakirg was
C air -an W. D. Erans presided.
ie intro-uced former 'tovernor Evans
as "a youug and valiant sin of South
Carolina-one who is nt unknown to
yru
Mr. Evans expressed his gratitca
tion that so many were present, and
took it to indicate that the people
were a rakniing to the real issue of
:bis carmpai n. He did not belie e that
aniosiTL o county pri-de wcuid cause
the vot'"-s to foryet that Democratic
pri1ccies were at stak . I- was not
his intention to strike McLaurin ex
ceto on his publc utterances He de
sir, d to e -t tie campaign
fai-! ard honms'i bt he did not
think his M-. bo:-ld be estopped
while or of his cp;oTents bTy sick in
b cd. Emciaily should he have the
ri;;ht cspeech. as that sick opponent
as having chculars atd copies of a
Yorkville paper cantaining the sup
posed speech of Mr. McLtuin at that
lace. in speak.ng in McLaurin's
absence he was at the disadvantage of
having to rtad from hi; speeches and
of showing u:p their fallacies.
Tbe que-stion (f this campaign is.
ai Mr. Evans, "Will you follow
rthis 'ne'v evangel,' who would lead
you into the Republican party, or
will you cling to the faith of your fa
ther's" Iistiiv then he reviewed the
history of the taritf from from 1832 to
the present. He told o nullification
and declared, "That's what yon got
for making a straight igh t." He
charged trat Mr. McLaurin had spent
two h-ours in Sumter in t;ying to
show there could be no such thing as
tariff for r 'etnu only. A comparison
was then drawn bet Teen the Demo
cratic and Republican tariff demands.
That word "protection" in the R pub
lican platform was misleading, said
Mr. Evans. We think of it as the pro
tection of a father for his child, or the
protection told of in holy wri.
The farmer of the south and west is
a free trader if he's got any sense.
Why? Because he's got no manufac
turing interest to protect. It is to his
interest to buy his goods as cheap as

A little later Mr. Evans declared he
had to take McLauriu's printed record
around with him, for be would deny
everything if the record was not pull

that was his oponsition to :ree raw
material. McLauria has declared.
I don't believe in free raw material.
Then he stands with Havemeyer and
the sugar trust. Should McLaurin
be elected on his platform of opposi

voting t~o place a duty on sugar. The
eopie woul d be estoppcd from criti

Mr. Evans vigorously attacked Mr.
McLaurin on the cotton, wool .and
ide schedules. In conclusion, he de
cinared tha'. McLaurin was the jsck-o

into a bog until the y would sink be

Mr. Evans was spplaudcd.

Counterfict Bonds.
There were presented to the treasury

sue of counterfeit notes which ap
peared in the principal bond markets
in 1865 and 1867. Tne imitation of
the genuine is so comnlete that many
of the principal dealers in United
States securities purchased them free
ly and only discovered that they had
been victimized when the notes were
thrown cut by the authorities at
Washington. The loss to bankers and
ugh this counterfeit

dred thousand dollars. The only
marked differeace between the origi
nal and the ceunterfeit is found in the
red seal, the points surrounding the
seal in the genuine being broader,
more clearly defined and not so long.
There is also a slight difference in the
signature of Gen. Spinner, who was
the treasurer of the United States at
the time of the issue of the original
notes. In the genuine there is also a
small spot just below the bar between
the baskets of the balance which the
figure America holds suspended. At
the secret service otlhce it is said that
the plate from which these notes
were printed was captred November
21, 1867, from William E. Brock way,
who is now serving a term of 10 years
in the Trenton, N. ., penitentiary for
counterfeiting $500 gold certificates.
The Ohio Campaign
The approach2ing campaign in Ohio
bids fair to rival in dramatic interest
the presidential campaign of 1836;: and
for the next few months the ey es of the
e nntry will be rive te d upon the Buck
eye State. The Republicans are very
much alarmed over the situation.
They realhze that, il the State goes
Demiocratic this fall, the effect of such
a change wil be seriously felt not
only upon the present adminisiration,
but a lso upon the political s'.atus of the
country at large. In orcer to prevent
this apprehended revuiston of senti
ment it is given out on good authoriry
that the sum of $2,000.000 will be ex
pended by the Oaio Republicans on
the State campaign this year. -Sena

THE FIGHT RENEWED.
THE PRCHISITIONISTS TAKE THE
FIELD AGAIN.
War A gain,t L',ir.ors-Oirculars and Peti

Address to Fo!Icw Soon,
The State prchibition executive com
mittee has set to work with a vie' of
having such pressure brought to bear
upon the general assembly at its ses
sion next winter that the body will
have to seriously consider the passing
of an absolute prohibition law.
Tne prohibitionists are convinced
that now is the time for them to make
their fight. They have never been sat
isfied since the people of the State ex
pressed tiemselves in favor of absolute
prohibition at the ballot box and got
instead of a prohibition act the dispen
sarv law.
The State Prohibition executive com
mittee has commenced work in a very
earnest manner. It is composed of
Capt. L. D. Childs, chairman; T. J.
LlaMotte, secretary; R. M. Adam, C.
D. Stanley, J. E. Brunson, F. H.
Hvatt and the Revs. J. L. Sifly and
J. G. Dale. Some days ago the comt
rmittee onened its campaign by send
irug to ail par.s of the State copies of
the circular letter and blank petition
given below. Mr. LaMotte Thursday
stated that the committee had sent out
up to date not less than 2,000 epies of
! the iettcr and the petition, and in a
te w days a strong address will be is
sued.
Here is a copy of the letter:
Dear Sir: The executive committee,
after a careful survey of the conditions
I existing in our State, regard it a fa
vorable opuportunity to urge the
claims of prohibition to the attention
of our people. The existing system,
inaugurated in direct opposition to the
expressed will of tne majority, having
utterly failed to meet the expectations
of its friends, and proven successful
as a promoter of lawlessness, fraud
and crime, has sealed its own doom,
and the next legislature will be called
upon to deal with the problem.
It seems to us that it is our duty to
make immediate and earnest effort to
concentrate what we believe to be the
senti-aent of a large majority of our
people.
It is evident to us that the friends of
the liquor traffic are taking the most
active and aggressive measures to
nre-occupy the field thrown open by
the recent dispensary administration
and the decisions with reference there
to, and if we are to hope for any im
provement in the condit'ons which
confront us, we must be up and doing
in the cause which we believe to be
the cause of right and of God.
We have therafore determined to
send out petitions to be signed by the
voters of every precinct who favor our
views, asking the general assembly
for such legislation as is needed to
prevent the terrible ev'ils foreshadow
ed by the continuance of the sale of
liquor for beverage purposes.
We would suggest that wherever it
subject of temperance and prohibition
made by the best speakers available.
We confidently ask your active per
sonal co-operation in securing names
to these petitions. Please send a list
of such friends as will assist in the
work of securing additional signatures.
Please find enclosed a return envel
ope for communication with its secre
tary. Respectfully,
L. D. Childs, Chairman.
Thomas J. LaMotte, Secretary.
The eeading of the Fetition reads as
follows:
PE'TiTION.
"The undersigned, voters of -,
South Carolina, believing that the
contint'ance of the sale of alcoholic
liquors as a beverage within this State,
under the sanction of its laws, is the
source of the pauperism, misery and
crime which exists, a positive hind
rance to all material and industrial
prosperity, and a foe to morality and
relirion, ~would respectfully petition
the general assembly at its next ses
sion to enact such legislation as will
prohibit the manufacture and sale of
intoxicating liquors as a beverage."
The prohibitionists believe that they
have the same msj rity of the people
at their back as when the vote was
taken on the subject and they propose
to make an earnest fight from first to
last.
