THE CAMPAIGN. ? (Continued from First Page.) ! be baa been la olese touoh with tbe I affairs of the State, and while be does not wonder at the howl raised at in creased aproprlatioos, lt must be re membered that conditions have great lyohang'd. The inequalities in tax assessment aro gbwHg. He favors the oarrying out of tho reoommendatlous made by the llnanoo committee in or der to wipe our tbose inequalities. He warns the people agalust tbe in cipient tendonoy to corruption in .lections, wblob has recently mani teated Itself. It ls to bo regretted that the liquor question should have attained suoli prom?neuoo. Tncro are other matters wortnter of attention. He is not tho onampion of whiski v, but he ls deeply interested In the moral welfare of ibo State. He ls not a straddler and tie will not seek to befog the public mind on any ls au?. He does not advooate thc dis penaary as run In the past. Whether tbe allegations of corruption and graft in tba dispensary are true or not, the people ol Soutu Carolina will not stand for even tho suspicion of suoh things. Wnttc thero ls so mud smoke there must, be some tire, and tho people of ibe State will not staud for tbe dispensary as lt has been con ducted. If corruption and graft do exist In tbe diapei.Bary, tben lt must be purgtd of tire odium or else ti t whole tnlug must g i. Wipe thc dis pensary out and woat will you I av left?

MCMAHAN, of Columbia, tue UcXt candidate for Governor to address the audleiioe, prefaced bis remarks with the state ment tbat every man ls IIIB brother's keeper, and that it follo ws, therefore, that every citizen should bj alive to his olvlo dulles. The scope of gov ernment haa neon Uigely widened li is no longer con lined to mere police regulation. We aro shocked as we glanoe aoout us at tho evidences ol corruption abroad In the land, b >Mi within and without cur Stute. When we oompare the conditions cf today with tho conditions which obtained in the past we must be ashamed ano Burprihbd. Dispensary corruption is not the only corruption to be found in South Carolina lociay. Ojr outj la imperative to plaoe only the best and highest men in ellice. Tbe prl mary system is a great system, but under it there liss unfortunately grown up the custom of magnifying the duties of the candidate and mini mlzlng tbe duties of the cli.zjn. He favors the improvement of thc sohoo.s and oommcnas thc establishment of the Slate reformatory. Ho stands today for every educational rciorra which he has ever advocated. Ile urged thc importance of thc dr duane of the coastal region and advocated the establishment of every couuty of a model farm. Time dees not permit him to dlsouss the dibpeusary. Per sonally he is opioied to the use of liquor, but he uoeau't believe prohibi tion practicable. He favors the State dispensary, tut not the dispen sary as lt now cxiais. He would tlrst have lt cleansed and tho rabe?is in it placed behind prison bars. The next oandidate for Governor to address the Democrats of Du. ohester waa th Hon JOHN T. ?SLOAN, of Columbia.

Ho, therefore, contented nlmsolf witta telling two or three 3apltal stories and pledging anew his ?evotton to the best interests of pub? lio education in tho State. He favors the dispensary system because if the 1200,000 a year obtaiued by the soV.ools from tbls 8' ur oe are rrmoved and nothing is provided to take lis place the result will be little short of oal amPoua.

(inlUy Ol. Jewish Patber, Moth er, Daughter and Son Lashed Together by Tor tu ? ers and Beaten to Death. The masHaore of the Jews at Bialy stok the first of last week aaust have beon something awful. Tho corres pondent of the New York Amerloan visited ah parts of the town, takln? ovldenoe from both Jewish and Chris tian residents. Here is what he says: Tho massacre was essentially c ill - dal. The pol os military holligan! and the Black Hundred played subor dinate roles lu ov?r oaso. At a porlol wuen a mans of butcheries ocourred the p lice and soldiers either aotively assisted or eno juregod the butchers. Thcro are many autcntloated oases of soldiers M?enme,vu perpetrating (daughter. lu the B lyare dlstriot, whore thc worst massacres occurred, the soldiers of tho Uglltsky, Sixty '.hird Regiment, accompanied by two lill ?rn, raassaored seven Jews at Gcp ncr's saw mill. Full dotatls of this trpgody were given mo by tho survlv in* maojtger. Wc en the soldiers were ^ccup ed with lootlug, tholr vlotlroa sought refuge In a small wooden home on which at 6 o'clock on Friday evon tug tt e soldiers tired suddenly M my Jaws of this dlstriob, especial ly girls, b carno insano. The ? Moors ordered the Inmates to come out one by ono. Five of them wore shot dead as they emerged from t he house and six were haoked to plec>. s by sabres. O'o retrained In tho m use, an old woman named K iutsch, seventy years of ago, and the soldiers burned tho house and she perished In lite (lameB. In other oases the soldiers were merely onlookers. In Souvoroff strtots a prosperous Jow named PodlatchefT kept c leather workshop. The pro prietor, his rclatloes, named First irnri), and six others were slaughter ed 1 l.ispeoted the dabbled with pools of blood and fragments of tiesh and hair are stloktng to tho walls. First mann was tho first killed. Ile was 8 mt by a gendarme nami.d Sohult/.e i hon tho Hooligans stripped tho corpsi ; carved pieces out of the breast and diove nails into the nose. Four frightened employes took shel ter tu an outhouse tho Hooligans broke lb opiu aud beat them to death. The soldiers looked on, and tho Hooligans were unmolested. The young son of the proprietor was saved by the sol diers who cried, "Enough; don't kill tue boj 1 ' HOUSE OK HORROR. Outsldo this house I saw a younth wearing tho blood-stained olothes of a B aughtered mother. In many oases whole families were exterminated. 1 visited a house in old Boyare street ocoupied by Alnsteln, a retp ct td teaoher, who with his mother, daughter and two sons, were dono to death by Hooligans uoderthe oommand of a disguised police t tlloer while sol diers were pr?tent. At first tho sol diers fired into tho house and a police man ordered tho family to save them selves in tho Iii Ids. There after tying father, eon, mothor and daughter to gether, they wero beaten to death, tho police meantime firing at ran dom. Two witnesses assure me that nails were hammered Into the son's face bc fore his death. In the li dd are pools if blood. Everywhere lum ci nt children stand arguing beside ihesc ghastly pools, talking about whom eaoh belongs to. Next door lives a woman named L vin, with eight, chll dren, whose husband was oarved to piecc8ln her sight. Throughout town for two days the massacre s continued. Fiendish tortur es and mutilation of the o -rp s lnvarl utily followed the masaores with active .r passive co-operation of authorities. In many oases the pohco tactbly auth rlzed the buthery by ordering the tlonligaDs to spare particular Indi vi d rals. 1 interviewed two person who iscaped by bribing the soldiers. Oe :lri, living on Alexander street, after mr father hid been b.\>onnetfced, paid i sold h r 20 roubles that she might be pared her'elf. Both Jews and Christians agrct. hat many r Isguised policemen were .mong tho Hjohgans M ?ht of the iotims of tho soldiers trkd to deftmd hems^lves, but while the Hoollgan iroke down tho doors of their homes, he sold lera looked on, and if a J^w ofended himself or even appeared at window i hey fired a volley, killing he defenders or driving them Into he bando of the Hooligans. Cou ernlngthi Viadimiraky ann Uglltsky, pg m nts, J >w witnesses affirm that .1 liol Buk vdky dlr nMy encouraged tu soldier*, crying: ' (Joellez dd fit ' M ls, kill thc J i ws. Tjriure before death repeatedly icurred, and mutilation afterward, rr Nikolai street a woman had a owoar thrust down her throat and rob twlstsd. She finally was hacked ) deattr with a hatchet aud left to Iced to death. Toa hands of Biyar, tailor, wore nailed to a table while a was clubbed to death. DRAGGED TO JII8 DOOM, A little girl whose body I saw In ie Jewish Hospital had hor leg .wed ctT whllo she was yet alive. Jiors were carved to death slowly. ) thc yard of thc J . wish H mpltal, here eighty-six corpses wero laid de hy ?ide, 1 saw thirty oases of uIllation. In some, noses were ont f. In others thc ears were cut ( IV i many cases nails were driven Into io face or ?kuli. Ono old man had s eyes torn out. A ulerk named Bernstein was egged from a truln and battered to Stn. Ilia lindy was afterward found a Held, handless, and with a sharp cd stick driven Into thc stomaoh. ie compllolty of ofllolals, soldiers d p jllco has been established by un utrovertable ovldcnco, and will un cstlonahly he confirmed In tho < ill - ,1 report. St. Chepkln, a member tho Durna Inquiry Commission, ! established ti?st tho r^s."'""1'''* wau t, lnnpln>d from St. Petersburg, but local cul .dals, who believe teat the I ir's government desired tho massa- ma as a counterweight against the ''tl elution. sue have established the faot that bus the masKRoro was pian nod dffys in ad ?ance. For Instance, wtWtbe Jew Ish deputation on Tuesday asked a polloe (Miioor named Sheremf ttlci? for permission to lay a wreath on the grave of a murdered polled master named Der gat oho ff, 8heremeftleff oyn Joally answered, "You'H get* an an swer on Thursday," whloh was the Ur it day of the killing. Defgatohoft was a olever and humane mau, be loved by Jews and Christians. His murder by the Jew batters gave his subordinates freedom to exeoute their plot. LAID TO THU QOVEHNi^t Tho Governor of Grodno Provino* ls equally guilty. He arrived Thurs day evening and stayed only two hours. He did nothing to ?top thc masssore, and worse violence follow ?ed bis visit. The appointment by the Durna of an inve-tlga$<ng o m mission oausnd a oessatlon or- slaugh tor. Tho small proportion of wound ed to killed shows the impunity wit! whloh the murderers were allowed to tinbin their victims. Some of these were thrloo killed by bullet!), kniv. s and cudgels. Every ravaged house 1 visited Bhowa that the raiders were left in possession for hours. A ro markablo feature of this msssacre * the absence of outrages on tho wo mon. Though thirty were killed thero ls no authenticated oase of out rage discoverable. Thia is explain.'' lu cause tho Hooligans and troops got their orders only to .'kill." The precise number of deaths can not bo learned Thero are eigbty-alx dead now in tbe Jewish hospital aud seven lu tho Christian hospital, but the oorpses of those dragged from the train and killed were buried without being counted. The material des tructlon ls enormous. In four im portant streets nearly every window, door and shutter is broken, except in the Christians houses. M ny of tho wealthior Jews efiO?p-d, owing to the iron gates of their ocurt yards, but the soldiers tired through the win dows. In ono house I saw thirty rifle, bullet holeB in the windows, though there was nobody within save an old lady and a woman servant. Tho houses into whloh tho mob broke were laterally destroyed. Even the wallpaper was toro down Toe rioters stole ovorythiug portable; even children's toys were smashed. Tho heavy furnituro and the un8ma8hable things were thrown out of tho windows. The merchants account books wore burned, and only the bare walls were left. In a bakery, where tho owner was killed, tho mob Boakod the loaves of bread in a pool of blood, leaving be hind au ironical note. In Levin's mill, where Christians and Jews work together, the mobbites out the doth and yarn belonging to tho Jews leav ing the Christian's yarn untouohed. It ls estimated that the loss will amount to two million roubles. The relatives of the viotims have been de prived of everything and are afraid to re-enter the housos. They are begging lu tho streets of the town. SENATOR TILLMAN Will Not Oa'l on the President Until Ho Aito'oglzos, I "I have been Insulted there once and I do not propose to pl ?oe myself in tblB position again If I o*n prevent lt." TheBo aro the words used by Senator Tillman Thurla was made acquainted with ho presi de nb's recent utterances tending to indicate a desire for a reoonslllation between himself and the seplor sena tor from South Carolina. Tho unpleasant difficult? a few years back between Senator? Tillman aud McLaurln, and the subsequent withdrawal of Tillman's invitation to the reception at thc White House to meet Prluoe. Henry, then paying a viaib to this country, are Btlll fresh in the minds of the people who have fol lowed Senator Tillman's career sine he entered thc senate. There ls no notion on the part of Senator Tillman of bringing about, a reconciliation with tu- chief ix cu tlve, unions sue? reo-nictitation is ao companied by an unconditional apolo ?y from ?be president, and as there is little nrobablllty of this, tho matter of a love feast between them ls still In the air. Those who know Senator Tillman well, know that noth'ng short cf an ipology will satisfy bim. Willie the president ls credited with having re cently said that lie liked Senator Till nan, and whllo tho senator ls like vise quoted as having made a state nent to the tffect that he bellovo' .he presiden I to bo straight, and all Ight, tbeso aro taken only as pa sing eraarks, made without serious oon Ideration, and hardly worth remem lering. Tue utterances of Senator filman that ho would not allow him elf to bo again insulted, aro believed 0 represcut lils real feelings toward he president. Wolle ho admits he 1 as ready to forgive a man-whether e is president or a private oitlzw jr a wrong, ne is not willing, aocord ig to his own words, to place bim slf in the attitude of being wllfulh ?sulted a second time, even though tat man bo tho presldont of toe 'lilted States \Vniitctl to I,y noli il r.

TUE AROH-MURDKR'B CHIMES. Mesfewl was a cobbler and publie letter writer. Associated with him In his orlmcs was au old woman seventy years of ?ge named Atom h. Many girls of tho city disappeared in the last days of April and tho parents jf one young woman traocd her to tho aobbler's shop. Annah was pub to the torture and confessed. She told that the girls, who carno bo dictate letters, were treated to [hugged wine aud then beheaded. Twenty decapitated bodies were found lu a deep pit under the shop ind sixteen more in the garden. Annan died under the torture and Mesfewl confessed. By an anoient Moorish custom he was condemned to tD" orucliicd. Ills crue)lixlon was set for May 2, jut this form of punishment was jlven up beeauso of thc foreign olam jr, and it was anuounoed that Mes fewi would be beheaded. His death ?y the Btlll moro awful process of luv nurement shows that tho Moroccan tubhorlties "blinded the eyes" of the' foreigners. Mesfewl was kept in tho Marakesoh ?all until outside attention was dull id, aud then, on May 15, his torturo jog an.

Tho recent meeting of the Oofcb* Seed Oruo'Mue' association, at Atlant? Qa., brought out some interesting facts ID regard to tb? uaei of cotton seed, both for domestio and export purp 'sen. Governor Terrell, who wai in early life a cotton grower, said that he remembered well when colton seed was burned to (ret. rid of lt, but last year there were 4.600 OOO tons of cotton ssod bought from the South ern planters and the sum Of 176 ooo - OOO was paid for them, thus coding practically 26 per cent, to the value in that way of the cotton crop. This bas been brought about principally through the cotton seed oil Indus* tries. Thero are probabilities of s ill fur-, thor developments in the use of out ion seed winch will increase the valuo of that proiuot. Prof, J. H. don nell, of Texas, in speaking of cotton ?oed meal aa human food made a striking presentation of Its value foi such uses. He gave a good lesion in the shape of biscuits and oakes made from a combinaron of ottos seed meal and whoat flour. Tney wen pronounced as delicate and tasty ai. any product of the il.mr barrel by titi memtiors ot the convention who wen given an oppuitunlty to partaken the food. Another use of the seed ii thai for forUlizor in the shape c meal. Tho use of raw seed to enrloh t land was pronounced a waste wh the meal oan be used to much bett' financial advantage.
