A awful tragedy occurred at Phila

tls in the medicine ohest Instead of
the harmless drag that he sought in
the dark, Btohsrd TUghman, a so
ciety man, clubman, member pt tbe
City Troop, a descendant of one or
the original Maryland families and
c'osely related to the Whelans and
Llpplnoot ts, made every arrangement
bbat prudence or sentiment dictated
before he died.
He first had bops that hie life conld
be saved and waking,up his wife 10
their apartment* at the fashionable
Jinooln, No. 1220 L oust street, and
bis daughter, fifteen years old, aod
son thirteen yeap old and told them
what bad happened.
Mrs. TUgUman, who was Gabrielis

mareibuem de Potetad Fornarl, at

amouQt to akhlmbleful. Mr. Bruo
son referred to no other Issui, but de
voted his whole time to rasping those
who favored tbe sale of liquor tn any
manner, and urging the people to
rally to Its overthrow.
MB W. A EDWAEDS,
of Salnds, filed his pledge as a osndi
date for Gjveruor, but, jidglng from
bis speech to-day he has entered him
self lo the Wrong olsas. His entire
time was devoted to an attack upon
tbe Southern Railway, which would
have done credit to the most ardent
aspirant for the (ffl ;e of railroad eom-
tniasioner. Mr. E1 wards dtolared that
for six years ue uas been onduotlag a
fight In the CLurts aga’nvt the oun-
•ollJatlun of toe Sou n Carolina and
Georgia extension with the Souiibdrn
RiU way. He findi, so be acid, that
this corporation is practically in ojd-
trol of jinr Government and that there
le Apparently no way of escape from
I s aboeesr He declared that It dls
criminated against the peopie of this
Sta’s, causing tneir p uperty to de
crease In value, and (incidentally tfa-
property of landowners In Georgia to
inoreaae in value. H j then begantoreaa
from a paper whicn he carried a hlsto-.
ry of his case already refur ed to, hot
bis twenty minutes were up before be
was more than fairly started, and It
never became apparent j ist wbat be
was driving at. He was granted an
extension of time 4a which to explain
briefly what he was after, but just a*
bo cpsnod hl« mouth to speak the
band oegan to plav and there the mat
ter ended, for to*day at least.
Then came v -
— .MB. A. O. JOMES
of Newberry, who 1» also an aspirant
for G ubarnational honors. He
u the representative of the homes, of
the mothers, of the eons, of tbe chll
dren, who stand for pure democracy
and who oppose corruption and graft
All bis life he has stood for that whlob
was purifying and uplifting, and he b
willing to abide by his record. He b
an enthusiastic supporter of higher
education, but It U to tbe denomlna'
tlonal oolUges that the State owes
most. He believes In an economical
and honest administration of the Gov
ernment. He favors a board of arbi
tration In Scnth Carolina to settle al
differecces between capital and labor.
But tbe principal thing which has
brought him into this campaign is
the 1 quor question. Three years ago
he published in the newspapers an ar
tide calling attention to the condi
tions in the dispensary. He also nrg
ed the psasage of a law which would
allow the viting out of the dispenser
les In ootmtiet desiring to take such
action. Tost suggestion was largely
instrumental In tne passage of tbe
Brice law. Now he Is reedy to go fur
ther. Personally, be opposes the se e
of liquor lo any way, but he Ik willing
to alow the people of each county to
vote on the question ss to whether
they shall have a county disprnsary

an opportunity to discuss Issues both
state and national for a long time,
and was beginning to think that be
wonld not have his wish granted this
year, when the annonnocmant of Ur.

There Is genuine regret on tbFpart
of Senator Tillman that be wae un
able to attend Thursday's campaign
meeting at Charleston. Tne re are
many tnlngs that be hop'd to have
tbe opportunity of telling tbe Charles

Tilgbman then asked his wife and
children to draw near the bed, and
while the physicians, one of them a
friend from boyhood, withdrew to a
corner of the room, be made his
tocehing farewell to the little'group
tbat he loved above all. He told
them not to worry, as It was a fate
from wtyobibereB&uil b* no escape,

The campaigners wore given a royal
time .during the day. by official
(Jharleaton, led by Chairman Danlei
L. Sinkler, and wbat they wanted
they did not have to ask for—it was
all there.
Much Interest was added to the
meeting by the arrival of Senator
Ragsdale, candidate for the offloa of
attorney general, who was not present
at tbe opening of tbe campaign at St

Each had only fly* minutes to which
to present Ms side, which accounts
Tor the Lack of more detail.
Mr. J. Willard RigKfelo, of Hor

dldats fur the offlee of attorney gen
eral. Ha opened by remarking that
when be determined to make the raoa
ne had done ao under tho belief that
the offlee belonged to no man, tbat
no one was entitled to claim It to tbe
exclusion of others who sought it
He was accordingly surprised to note
in the Charleston Poet tbet Mr. L.ou
deserved the office.
As for himself ho would say that
he did not ask tor the effloe except to
so far aa the people might elect to
give It to Mm after weighing Mm to
the balances. But, ’Bald' he, if it
most he said that -any one deserves

There was quite a bom of interest*
at this. Mr. Lyon looked around to

o the front and asked tho chairman
f he could first ask Mr. Lyon a ques

and It was agreed that Mr. Lyon

The Walter boro meeting on Thurs

the Lyon Ragsdale dispute shoot get
