KOESTER CLAIMS OF "NOBLER"
BREED, BU I' Ills ACTS INDICA E
TIlE TALLER KID.
The Columbia Record of last Sat
urday, in about a column editorial,
gives vent to some groans and grunts
and in endeavoring to show how
weak our defense of Governor Eller
be was, it gives the public a song and
- dance on matters irrelevant to the
subject, and it tries to lead its read
ers off, that they may not have an in
telligent idea as to the nature of the
defense we made of the Governor.
The Record says, " 'My Dear Ap
pelt' rushes to the defense of Gover
nor Ellerbe. The i'ecord has no ob
jection, for it would be pleased if a
clean bill of health could be made out
for the Chief Executive." THE TnES
will always be found endeavoring to
hold up the bands of any official who
is performing the duties of his office
honestly. When we see newspapers
taking advantage of every occurrence
to make political capital against an
official for no other reason than some
private spleen we feel it a duty to e:
pose their hypocrisy, if we can. It
would not teke a wise man to see that
some personal matter actuates the
nagging editorials against Governor
Ellerbe in the Record. We do not
think the public has any desire to
know what th'tt personal matter is, as
it has "iroubles of its own."
The Record is welcome to all the
glory it finds in dragging Jobhn Gary
Evans into its editorial- and our sup
port of him in 1890. We did sup
port Mr. Evans for the United States
Senate against Judge Earle and gave
him-a hearty support then, and would
have done so again had not a person
al filend entered the race against1
him, because we did not believe there
was any truth in the charges of cor
raption that were made against him.
Mr. Evans represented what we re
-gatrded Reform principles and Judge
Earle did not. This year when John
L. McLaurin entered the race we
gave him our support against Evans
and we would have given him that
support against any man in South
Carolina. Mr. Evans professed to
scorn the tactics of those who opposed
him in 1896 and undertook to win
sympathy for himself by reminding
the people that he was defeated by
falsehood. He ~was defeated by' un
fair methods, we believe, but when he
resorted to the same methods he dE
stroyed wvhat good there was in his
plea. He went upon the stump and
slandered Col. W. A. Neal iu an out
rageous manner and it was for this
that we repudiated him. The editor
of the Record may be a noble "dog,"
and we are glad to see that he, at
least, is proud of being a dog that
'pulled down the stag;" that is the
kind of pulling he does, is it? It is
well he informed us, for wve might
have mistaken him for the kind that
nulls down hen nests or the kind that
pulls the legs of prominent men.
The editor of the Record must
have borrowed a feather to tickle
himself into the idea that he had any
influence in the Sixth District and he
displays a powerful lot of cheek or a
mountain of ignorance when he at
tempts to create the impression that
he is a "kingmaker." But as a mat
ter of fact THE MAINCG TIES sup
ported Hon. J. E. Ellerbe against a
half dozen other candidates and the
people of Clarendon endorsed the
candidate of THE TIMES by giving
him 75 per cent. of the votcs and by
giving Candidate Norton less than 10
per cent. Other counties did bet ter
for Mr. Norton and our- caudidat~
failed to get into the second race.
The iight then came between Norton
and Johrnston and Claiendon gave
Norton her vote. THE TIMrxs, in ac
cordance with its promise, was "hands
off' in the second race. For ibe in
formaion of the Record we will state
that our choice only fell short of a
few votes of getting into the second
race and these few and more were
lost to him in this countyv on :account
of iWO funerals which k-ept molre!!,a
en Ugo Mr. Ellerbe's suppoirter's
away from the pri:nary to h::ve put
him into the see-end race agsiust
Jonon. THE: T1Mrs supported E!
lerbe an.d be received O81 votes; the
Record supported Norton and he re
ceived 82 votes. We think Editor
Koester "had better leave such com
narisns alne."
Our complaint against the newspa
>ers who are criticising Governor El
erbe is that they are doing this to
nanufacture capital against the Dis
cnSary law and to further the inter
sts of some favorite politician who
ias his eve on the Goveruor's chair.
We would not presunt to intimate
hat the Ilecord initends to "create
'rejudice against the Dispensary law."
HoW could we, i hen we see its a,1
erisiig columns? No, the Record
wo'ld not ere:,te prejudice agast
he ibis:.nnsary at present, but it does
not hesitate to mlisreprosent the Gov
ernor i Sutli Carolina and make
use of every flimsy excuse to snear at
im. We think if the Record's editor
will lay aside personal disappointmentI
he will not see so much to complain
f, and if he will get his friends to
weal candidly with him he will ns.er
tain that his indiuence does not ex
tend all over the State, and in the fu
Lure he can wear a hat several sizes
smaller than has been his custon
iuce the idea struck hin that the
.estiny of South Carolina rested upon
is shoulders.
Merchant Prince John Ryan of
Atlanta Is No More.
AT ONE TIME LIVED IN AUGUSTA
tVent to the Gate City Neary " isty Years
Ago and A ccum t ated Great Wealth.
sCCUumbed to a l'ar.&'y;cat Stroke Sus
taiued Over Ihree Mnt:4 'iuc-t ame
From Ireland to Thir Country.
ATLANTA, Nov. 22.-Mr. John Ryan,
Sr., a pioneer citizen of Atlanta. and
one of the richest and most widely
known men in the south, died at his
home in this city after a protracted ill
ness caused by paralysis. Mr. Iyan
wa the victim of the stroke a little over
three months ago. It was thought at
the time that he would recover. but he
gradually grew worse until the end
came.
Mr. Ryan made a great success as a
business man in Atlanta, and up to his
retirement his name was as well known
in the great commercial centers of the
country as that of any man in the
south. For 40 years he was engaged
in the-dry goods business on Whitehall
street. except for a short period during
the war, and millions and millions of
dollars' worth of goods passed over his
counters during his long and active ca
reer.
Mr. Ryan was born in Dublin, Ire
land, about 71 years ago, and there he
spent the early days of his young man
hood. In 1851 he decided to emigrate
to America. and cams to Augusta dur
ing that year. In 1852 he came to At
lanta and began a business on the White
hall road, for it hardly rose to the dig
nity of a street then. He married a
Miss Gray, a young iady of Augusta,
who was born in Ireland, and after his
marriage he built the house in which
he has since resided and which was a
novelty then.
It was one of the first brick residences
in Atlanta, and was a very conspicuous
landmark- to the wild and wooly "crack
ers" and the "hill billies" who drove
into the little town with their produce
from the outlying districts.
A SHOOTING IN ATLANTA,
To Men Probably F'atally Wounded by
an Outraged Husband.
ATLmT, Nov. 22.-W. A. Sharpton,
a switchman for the Southern railroad,
living in BeJlwood, surrendered himself
to the police after having shot and
probably fatally wounded Ralph Gibson
and Henry Joyner, two white men em
ployed as operatives in the Exposition
cotton mill. Sharpton's wife was the
cause of the bloody affair. He was
jealous of Gibson and went gunning for
him and in the fusilade Joyner was ac
cidentally shot.
Gibson has four bullets in his body and
may die at any time. Joyner is not
badly wounded and will in all proba
bility recover, though being wounded
in the face by the discharge from a shot
gun, he will be horribly disfigured.
Sometime ago Sharpton was a patient
at the Grady hospital. having been sent
there to have his head dressed after be
ing hit by a negro with a rock. WVhen
there he claims Gibson played the de
voted to his wife and when he got out
he warned him to let her alone, but
Gibson did not heed the warning, al
though it was repeated at the muzzle of
a pistol.
Sharpton and his wife moved to a dif
ferent boardinghouse and Gibson fol
lowed. Several days ago the husband
asked the mill boss to discharge his
wife, so he could get her to leave town
with him. While out walking with her
in Belwood they met Gibson, who com
menced to upbraid Sharpton for his con
duct in asking for his wife's dismissal
from the mill.
At this Sharpton, who said he had
warned Gibson never to speak to him,
drew his pistol and emptied it at Gib
son. Three bullets struck him. Then
he ran to his brother-in-law's store and
getting a shotgun came back and fired
again at Gibson, and this time Joyner,.
a bystander, was also shot.

BIG WEEK IN CHARLESTON.
The City by the Sea to Don Her Gala
Dress on Monday. Dec. 13.
CHARLESTON, Nov. 20.-All eyes are
turned towards Charleston's gala week,
which begins on Monday, Dec. 13. It
was intended to hold the festal week
during the month of October, but the
prevalence of yellow fever in the south
and the requirements of the board of
health that all persons entering the city
should be armed with health certiilcates
forced the committee to defer the fes
tivities.
The postponement of the gala week
has given the committee additional
time to perfect the arrangements, with
the result that the gala week this year
will be one of the most attractive and
successful that has ever taken place
here.
A grand firemen's tournament reel
contest is to be he:d. A number of reel
companies from all over South Carolina
and North Carolina have signified their
intention of participating in the contest.
A floral parade, bicycle races, fantas
tic parade and trades displiy and the
grand pageant of the Minions of 11.i
nerva, parade of the militia, shotgun
and rifle contests, and numerous other
attractions have been provided.
CONVICTS TO RAISE RICE.
The Latest scheme of the North Carolina
Penitentiary DircCtnrs.
RALEIGH, Nov. 20.-The penitentiary
directors desire to employ convicts at
Navassa rice plantation, near Wilmning
ton, provided it can be operated in con
nection with the state convict camp at
the phosphate mines at Castle Hayne.
The penitentiary has bought the phos
phate property. The Navassa company
wishes to secure the entire output.
It is possible that some bottom lands
in Bladen county will also be used for
rice culture, an option having been se
cured en 1.500 acres there, but this also
is conditioned upon the practicability
of operating with the Castle Hayne
camp as a base. A 20J-acre farm ad
joining the penitentiary. belonging to
the Boylan family, is leased and is now
being put in cultivation.
The contract with S. P. Hildebrand
of Cohoes, N. Y, to furnish him con
victs to make shirts in the prison is
signed. He is to pay 24 cents a dozen
for the labor on the shirts.

erally, as reported for The Tradesman's
correspondents among prominent south

Beyond Itecognition.
WELBORN. Fla., Nov. 20.-News has
just been received in this place of a
shocking accident at the cotton ginning

a horrible bght, and two of the men
who prepar- d the body for burial fainted
at the grewsome task.
