Tillman addraaaed a large arowd at GraenTlUa on Tueaday. July 4, at the celebration In the intereetof tbe SoutbarnCotton AaaodaUon. The] ■aaMny waa preaided orer by Mr. R Mayaa dareland, who Introduced Sen ator Tillman la a aery brief but an entirely aufflolent way. Senator Till- Man waa greeted with more or leaa cheering when be aroae \o apeak, and beabowed that be waa going to deal with the text when he apoke to the audience aa ‘ ‘mother farmera." Glanc ing ow tbe erowd, be aald that he reoogalaed many faoea belonging to meorwbo had ben pulling the bell oord oaer a mule, and added that while he had aaan larger and hotter audlenoea In GreenTllle, he bad neter found one In a better humor. Mow and then low rumbling thun der waa heard, and, while ezpreaaiog tbe hope that tbe rain would aktp thie taction, Senator Tillman aald be wui would give a great deal If it VMMWWV on hla Edgefield County farm. ^ We have met belt,” be aald, “for a pa collar kind of work. We have had oelohfttlona and celebrations, but 1 cannot recall one that In all Its phases will compare with this. This event characterises the freedom which the farmera won for thomaelvea; it ia a freedom from oppmaaioo, Juat such as oar forefathers achieved 129 yean fifteen yean ago, i openly t Senator Tillman referred to the true ■Ignlfloanoe of Independence Csy. "There are a good many things In oar Government,” he said, "which I do not like, yet the United Statse la tbe freest, happiest and beat governed country in the world, I have been watching national affain |ince I went to the Senate, eleven yean ago, and now and then I have taken occasion to them, but I am not here today as a citizen of the United Stntae; I am hero aa a fender to help you celebrate tbe victory tbe farmen won over tbe oapitallsta and tbe greedy speculators, who handle our product and hare reaped the reward out of our buslines. "Mow, there assy be a doubt as to whether the rise in tbe price of cotton can be attributed to tbe Southern Oottoa Association, although It can hot bo denied that happy results have followed the agitation of the moro^ , < ment tool room rent those slick fallows la Wall sweat, who manage our at tain and who keep tab on oar mart closely than we can keep it, and who are more Interested In what wa have. Still they have had acme mighty unplaaaant half hours, but tbe «s>n* oomee to tbe man who held his crop and who la entitled to Join In tbe ooteteatton.” Senator Tillman then explained In detail tbe causes which bad led to fluctuation in tbe price*. He aald that nobody bad ax pee ted cotton to ■all at 17 cents, and there waa no eonunon aenas reason why It should reach that point. It was simply sent thereby speculation. Ha explained tbs oaoaaa which led to the downfall of Sully, and declared that there was bo common mm reason why the mar ket had been forced down to 7 cents. Speculation did it, he said: "Tbe law of supply and dsmand,” be aald "which ougb to be stable, waa ra pealed by the Wall street managers Tbay told millions of futures, and that diaggad ’he spot market down with 11. They wanted to aetd It low- ^ er, but the AtBoolatlon stemmed tbe tide, reduced tbe acreage and con sumption of fartillzara and then rolled the oottbu under a shed and waited tor aometbing better than starvation prices. We bafU-get to assert our in dependence. Mow tbe people are able IC fiOmbOe wd wtdp the conspirators and wa have won our fight as farm era.” Galling attention to tbe figures is sued by Olemaon College, which showed tbe big demand for fertiliser tags, Senator Tillman said be was afraid some of his friends bad not re duced tbs acreage according to agree ment. Ha explained the old story about this man and tbe other plant ing more ootton because be believed that the ▲aaodatton had reduced the acreage. "A lot of those fellows,” he aald, "thought It smart to plant, aaytag to themselves ‘now la tbe time to make my Jack.’ But regardless of tbs betrayal of some and the failure of others to stand pat, the acreage was reduced, because old King Grass nfrhhw* it by the neck and choked it to death. It waa reduced, whether It was planted or not. The future la low bright and promising. I held mine, except twelve bales which my wile sold while I waa out In Illlnoia ■templing for Parker. Here la a point: Whan you bold your ootton put It uadax a toad or send It to a warehouse; deal {pave It In the rain." He told of film other causes which had helped the market, one being that the world waa hate of ootton. "W* have got blooming prospects,” he went aomee a v > you have a good thing don’t be don 1 ! wait for too high the now crop' la only ton ■ the staple may go to it, South Quo- wan ted out openly toaerre notice beh hb Id * ttved worl o,n flea and 1 that it would go Into tbe political mill pond, Into deep wsKTout it went Into deep water and there men drowned then there men. He aald tbat Preaidant Smith bed warned the Aaeoelatlon that poll tics would not be tolerated, and he called to mind that politics thrown Into the recent meeting at Greenville. He wanted to know why Smith nad not called MoLaurla down, but a kind friend In tbe audience re marked that Smith waa not present at the time. And then Tillman be gan to apologia*, declaring tbat Smith waa not a politician, but was Just a good man who loved to bear himself talk. He urged tbe farmers to make their farms aelf aapportlng, leaving ootton aa the surplus crop. — "Hie idea has been advanced,” be aald, "tbat oar mills should reach out into the world for new markets, and tbat there should be a protective tariff on ootton brought here from Egypt, England and Germany and other countries are competing with the United States In Ohineee territory and yet our mills have captured it, and are in poaaeaelon of the market. W* have heard a great deal about the boycott by Oblneee guilds against American products. Tbat boycott ia due to tbe brutal way our li tion agents have treated leading people. We have got a Ohineee exclusion Act bo rigid because the laboring dames demanded it to keep out competition. These inspectors ignore tbe beet visitors from China, tbe men who art* fbe ealt of the earth over there, all because labor In this country hates the ooolle and Is afraid of competition. I-am against the Chinese coming here for tbe reason tbat we have all tbe colored people we it. Let tbe ooolles stay out, but not right to maltreat thoee lead Ing Chinamen who come here to study our country, conditions and people without meaning to stay. The Guilds have threatened to drive out Amerl can goods, and if the Word la down the line you name Is Dennis. I am much concerned about this mat tor, and will lend all my aid to pre vent it, tut we Democrats are a few potatoes 111 the hill at Washington, and we don’t out much figure.” Senator Tillman did not see bow the protective tariff would help the farms While on that subject he called at tention to tbe movement to organize a decent Republican party In South Carolina under the name of Oommer dal Democracy, before McKinley’s death. He mentioned his trip to Gaffney a few years ago when he had a tilt with McLaurin, adding that he had told McLaurin then what be thought of him. Quoting from his letter about having detected "the am’i ears of the office seeker” under tbe tbln disguise of tbe ootton move ment, Senator Tillman aald be bad found certain embryonic candidates trying to batch political eggs. He said again tbat a protective tariff on raw ootton would not help the farm era, and then mentioned.. tbat be bad voted for a tariff on lumber because be believed It would help tbe people of "In Washington,’’ to bis good work tor tbe The above acoount of the was jnrlltoo tor Mr. John for Thi Mews andjCoustor,' from which paper we dtp It.

W. Ban.,, of Attmu, Oa., tells a thrilling story tbat throws] 1 light on the character of some of tbe parties that went to their death a tew day* linos at the hands of tbs Wat- klnsville mob. The story as told by Mr, Bailey indicates tbat these parties most bate at the time of its occur rence been planning Juit snob a mur der as In the oaas of Mr. and Mrs. Holbrooks. Mr. Ballsy kept a store on the Scull Shoals road, a tew miles from Wat- klnsville, and near the seeue of tbe Holbrook tragedy. He moved from thereto Athens last January.

She suspected danger and called to her husband. Tbe negroes went out Mr. Bailey got his pistol and sat down in tbe rear of tbe store. They came back again, and saw him there and then left. Last December, Just before Obriat mas, a negro named Wiley Durham came to the itore about midnight and wanted Mr. Bailey to get up and go into the store to sell him some art! oles.

Russia’s policy of playing teat and knee with her promises aa to the evacuation of Manchuria, whereby China’s sovereignty over that land waa praotteaUy annulled, and tbe equal commercial rights herein of the net of the world seriously threatened. (2) Russia's refusal to recognise Japan’s paramount Interests in Koran, His wife was In the stote, fmd tbay and her own "diplomatic” moves In get what he wanted. He was accom panied by another man, and whan Mr. the low country. he added, "my policy, which some of 1 *V the newspapers don’t Uke, has been to worK get anything in eight for the South when I saw tbe ohanee, and I tried to get It right or wrong, honestly or dis honestly, because those people up there have been stealing from us long enough.” It will not be difficult for those who attended former meetings at which Senator Tillman spoke, to see that be was going up hill; did not seem to have his heart in hie words "Oh,” he said oooe, breaking off from his 11ns of (bought, "I wish I had not been brought here under a check rein, martingales and a crupper, holding me down to agriculture.” Somebody In tbe audience wanted him to shoot s few Into MoLaurin. "De mortuis nil nisi bonnm,” Tillman shouted, "that's Latin. It means that you must not say anything but good about tbe dead. And If MoLaurin Is not dead politically, then I want to die.” While he was talking about hogs a note was handed up from the audi ence. Tillman read It. "Oh!" he shouted, "it’s just aomebody who wants, to-talk about tbs dispensary. There Is not much for me to add. The Greenville News gave my views this morning, and you ought to get the paper and read It, but this Is not year. The real fl| aary will be I n the t on the Democratic prim- He criticism of who are deprived of the right of vot ing under tbe Brloe law will be en titled to vote. There are thirty thousand men In South Carolina who Oan’t vote under the Brloe law. Tou have got no business fooling with tbe dispensary until the primary. Let all of the people determine It. I will aar this, however, tbat we have got to put tbe dispensary in tbe pot to scald and clean It, and If we oan’t do that then I’m In for killing It. If It’s rot ten they’ve made it rotten. I will he in the race next year for the Senate If my health don’t break down, and I will see the men who are trying to murder It by underhand methods. I will meet them teeth to teeth. I have always called a spade a spade. It Is not true that I have been tamed In the Senate, but now If yon want to settle tbe dispensary, let’s wait and vote It out of tbe State, not out of a few counties Tbe latter plan will give yon a sort of negative prohlbt tion. After the dispensary yon will get prohibition and what next? Tou will have free liquor. Some of you will get it shipped in Jugs, and tfie school fund will be out and other things will happen. Then the people will cry for high Hceoae. “That, in. its aaantt, Jt.tf* qM barrojm system with const!totional limitations. I waat to say bars that there la no warrant under the law for those beer dlapanaaries. They are Juat ordinary low aaloooa. Tbt die penaary has bean made an evil by tbe Legtalakura. I eaUed one Legislature "driftwood,” but this one has demor alised the dispensary. The present body fans the right aad la in duty bound to chaafs tbs law and male tt datent, and if It doaa not, I will stomp ‘ to kill It. Wo hast got to a It or maka It go, and thav have to give os batter liquor!” Just ‘ Tillman of Bailey went to the window and looked out he recognized that man as Lon Ayoook, the white man who was shot to death by the mob a few nights since la Watkinsville. Mr. Bailey had just sold his farm and was was getting ready to Athens, and to that time he money realized from tbs farm in his bouse. ’ Tbe ucgr j who was with Ayoook at that time was one of the negroee on* time suspected of the Holbrook murder, but later on released. Mr Bailey is satisfied that be would have had trouble bad he opened his store at that time. . WEATHER AID OEOPB. to the his Rain Very General, In Soase Places Too Heavy. The fOUbwing Is a report of -erop conditions as compiled by Section Di rector Baner: The week ending Monday, July 3d had a nearly normal mean tempera ture, It having been very high at the beginniog of the week with a maxi mum of 99 degrees at Blackrllie on Jon* 27th, and was comparatively coo during the middle of the week with a minimum of 61 degrees at Allendale on June 29th. There was more than an average amount of cloudiness. The winds were mostly easterly and dry ing. Copious rains fell In the Sivannah valley counties and along the southern coast: excessive rains in the extreme western and northwestern counties. Tbs oo operative observer at Walballa reported over thirteen inches for the week. Scattered showers, generally light, occurred In tbe central, eastern and northeastern counties where the drought has been only partially rellev ed. Lands were washed and bottom lands flooded In Oconee, Pickens and parte of Anderson, Greenville and Barn wall counties; In all other sec ttoos the rainfall was wholly benefi dal. Ootton Improved In general appear- anoe and growth, although it has not attained normal slxe except in s few scattered localities. The ootton crop Walt until next is uneven and Irregular in size, growth sod fruitage, though It is blooming normally over practically tbe whole ary, when those not registered and state. There are fewer complaints of deterioration, lioe and shedding than last week. In the dry sections some plants arc blooming to the top. Sea- Island cotton continues small, though generally healthy There ,1s little if any, Improvement In early planted corn which continues unpromising; later plantings have Im proved In color and growth, but are Still being seriously Injured by worms and recently by chinch bugs In places Wheat thrashing Is under way and the yields are very poor. Rloe Is do ing well. Tobacco Is being cured; the crop Is poor and shows the bad effects of drought. Peas are being sown ex tensively. Futures and gardens are parched except where recent rains have partially revived them. Water melons are being marketed. Sweet potato slips ate being aet.out since the rains, and where set out. earlier are doing well. Tbe general crop oat look is more promising than hereto fore, but Is still poor where moisture Is deficient, which includes about half the state. that peninsula, looking towards treaty rights, under which she might gain control of the port of Tusan, the more northern harbors of Vladivostok and Port Arthur having proved leu ser vleeable than had bun anticipated.

A dispatch from Odessa under date of July 7 says the Kolas Potemkin, the mutinous Russian battleship, still occupies the oentre of ihe stage here. The authorities ara well informed about her movements and her opera tions at thS various Black sea ports form tbe topic of continuous ■ pecula tion and comment in business and official circles. Bat as the opinion prevails here that she will not return to menace Odeesa the Odeaslans view her doings interestedly, bat not coupled with any particular alarm. The fact that the Kolas Potemkin is still at large, cruising in the Blsek sea, threatening ports at d holding up steam era and other eraft is beginning to bring criticism upon tbe naval au thoritlee, owing to their apparent slowness and lack of energy In puran log and terminating her piratical career. The torpedo boats which it is reported are trailing the Kiiaz Po temkin beve done nothing, although the whereabouts of tbe battleship has never been a secret. Tbe Black sea is so small that she has never been oat of reach of tbe fleet which left Odessa Wednesday and which is popularly soppesed to be following tbe renegade for the purpose of effecting her surren der or sinking her. If tbe fleet Is in earnest It can easi ly meet the Knits Potemkin^wfthin a comparatively few houra The belief is general, however, and there Is gen eral confirmation of it, that the main difflonlty confronting the fleet regard ing the Knlaz Potemkin Heels tbe fact that the crews of the ships are strongly disinclined to engage the mutinous battleship. v Itis reported on good authority that theli crews have actually refused to attack her.
