t "Vol. VII. VIOLENCE AND MOB LAW. Hon. E. B- Murray Brutally As-; saulted, Beaten and Prevented From Speaking By a Mob in Anderson CountyTho State. CiltKKNVlLl.i:, S. CM AugllBt 8. -j ? <4'l"ho education of violence and inol>; law," the education of Tillmunisim , has begun to shed its baneful effects over South Carolina. To day witnessed two acts on tho part of worshippers at. that shrine that will cause South Caroiinians to ask themselves, Is liberty dead in free South Carolina? Kx Governor Sheppard has been pursed and insulted, and Maj. I4-. H. Murray of Anderson has been as saulted in his own county and made to leave in order to save Ins life. A meeting arranged by the executive coinmittre of Anderson county, which committee is all Tillninnite, was held at Cedar Grove today. Maj. Murray is one of the Sheppard and < )rr electors for Anderson county and accompanied by Mr. .las. l\ Gossett, ho drove in a buggy, his intention being to speak with the other candidates. They halted near the stand, while Seeratary of State Tindal was speaking, without the faintest idea that danger brooded over them. When lie got out of his buggy Maj. Murray was set upon by sev oral score of men, headed by lb F. Dacus of Williamston and Win. Acker, of Tony Greek. The crowd made threatening gestures and abusive cries. Maj. Murray attempted to treat the matter lightly, ami started towards the stand. lie was met by a solid wall of men. W. A. Neal shouted that Murray had a right to bo present, and, I >r. Cheshire, ono of tho commit too of arrangements, tried to lead him to the stand; but the infuriated Tillman ites forced him back towards his buggy, and began to strike at him ono fellow hitting him with an umbrella. lie resisted as woll as he could but soon realized that he was powerless, and that lie was at the mercy of a mob in his own county. He was rushed back to bis buggy, and in the meantime a number of men in the eiowd were endeavoring to defend him. The crowd left the stand and (locked around Maj. Murray and Mr. (lossctt. It was a scene of terrible confusion. Some men made desperate effort8 to reach Murray, while others, more fair-minded strove to prevent such action. Tho mob was fast getting boy or d control, when James Scott of Greenville county, and scvoral others seized Murray, lifted him into the buggy ami told him to whip out while there was time. Gossett had tho reins, and doa? tried to drive off, but soino of the m: 11 i - % * xiiimuniies seemed bent on having Murray's blood, and they held on to the wheels, and were dragged some distance. Maj. Murray was struck by others on the back and shoulders as he was driving off. As the horses dashed away, stones wore hurled at the retreating men. Marks were loft on the buggy, and several missiles stuck the occupants. They drove to Williamston, where the Conservative meeting was expressed at the news of the disgraceful affair. Maj. Murray yielded to requests <* and made a short speech. Tie re gretted that tho day had come when free speech was denied at a public mooting, when questions touching tho welfare of tho State were to be discussed. It was terrible to think that tho day had arrived when one attended a mooting of Democrats at tho risk of his life. "I simply state facts," said he. "when I say that had Mr. Gossott and myself remained there, neither ono of us would have boon alive at this time." The incident spoko more forcibly thnn any words of his could do. It ' tells tho people with what they are pppfronte(}. Tho ipen who undertook to assault him could not he blamed, when the Chief Magistrate who is bound by the sanctity of an oath to enforce tho law, announces that ho would, under certain circum ptapces lead a lynching party. Men could not he blamed for violating the law when the governor encourages such violation and when the Attorney General attends a public meeting with a deadly weapon. Voice?They arc to bo blamed for OOTsTATV being led by such fools. Murray?Can you blame tKein when the Governor walks arm in arm with an avowed lyncher and | goes homo with him, as lie did with him, as he did with Cal Caughman at Lexington? The Major said the occasion was not a private one. lie felt that the insult was to the people of the county who happen to think for themselves and who had placed him in nomination as a candidate for delegate to the State convention. This stilling of froo speech was the result ?f ,..1 ? ii? - -i Ul I'WIU'HUUII LIIW cuucaiiuil Ol Violence and mob law. :lo called upon all those who loved liberty, law and morals to rally to the support of the Conservative Democracy and sweep from power the man who had brought about the condition of things. It was through the teachings of Tillman and his miserable little set of ollice underlings that such tactics were used. It was a natural consequence when 0110 of their loaders in Anderson county tells them to knock down every Conservative who approaches them for the purpose of talking politics. Voices?A. O. Latimer. Voice?One of the men t!?at led the assault. against you is under indictment at Anderson for horsestealing. (Ireenville sent a large mounted delegation to Shady Grove, and this party met Governor shcppard and George W Sullivan in the road, driving to Williainston. Mr. Sullivan slates that he and Governor Sheppard wore both insulted and cursed in the public road by the Tillman men. .1. NVii.son Giuhes. Holding the Breath.

An Kurdish eorresnondent is n ?i thereby routined of a curious discovery of his boyhood. 4Hvas a very ticklish youngster, and my comrades sometimes used that weakness for their own amusement. One boy used to show mo how little elTect tickling had upon him; but one hot summer day as he was lying leading, I tickled hi in on the ribs and he almost went into convulsions. I found that he was far more sensitive than anv boy in the company, and ho revealed his secret to me under condition of my never telling any one else.

I tried the plan, and it worked admirably; and it is my only protection, even unto this day, for my cuticle is as sensitive as over. The deduction is simple: A man holds his breath?add a wasp -and the stinger is'bluffed.' Verb,sap*" Mr. McMillan's scientific logic halts somewhat, but the fact which lie cites is of interest. The writer is cognizant of similar cases, and it may be worth further investigation to determine to what extent anstethesia of the skin may be produced by suspending respiration tempo rarily. Some Uses of an EggsFor burns and scalds nothing is more soothing than the white of an egg, which may be poured over the wound. It is softer as a varnish than collodion, and being always at hand, can be applied. It is also more cooling than the sweet oil and cotton which was formerly supposed to be the surest application to allay the smarting pain. The egg is considered to be one of the best of remedies for dysentery. Beaten up slightly, \yith or without sugar, and swallowed at a gulp, it tends, by its emollient qualities, to lessen the intlammation of the stomach and intestines, and by forming a transient coating on these organs, to enable nature to resuino- her healthful sway over a diseased body. Two, or at most three eggs per day would he all that is required in ordinary cases; and since egg is not merely medicine, but food as well, the lighter the diet otherwise and the quieter the patient is kept, the more cer tain and rapid is the recovery.?

A rule hauled down from our grandmothers says: "Clean bedsteads in March and you will never have bugs,'' It. is said that in some loca tions it is impossitde to escape these pests. A housekeeper so afliicicd should clean bedsteads thoroughly,1 then with a soft paint brush dipped in kerosene go over every part of I them carefully, painting any cracks in the adjoining woodwork, where hiding places may be found. If lia oic io exposure, it would bo well to repeat this weekly during warm weather, or mix together two ounces camphor, four ounces spirits of turpentine, one ounce of corrosive sit mate and one pint of alcohol. The mixture faithfully is a "suro and certain death to these pests," says the Scientific American. Nothing is better than turpentine for the banishment of carpet worms, buffalo moths aud insects. Mix the turpentine with pure water in the proportion of three trblcspoonfuls to three quarts of water, and then after the carpet has been well swept, go over each breadth carefully with a sponge dipped in the solution and wrung nearly dry. Change the water as often as it. becomes dirty. Tho carpet will be nicely cleaned as well as disinfected. We need hardly tell our correspondent that carpets should bo frequently shaken, as dirt under them grinds out the threads. They should not, however, be swent oftoner than is absolutely necessary. A brush and dusting pan should bo used. Feeding the Sick''Feeding the .Sick1' formed the subject of an interesting lecture by Dr. Judson Daland, instructor mi clinical medicine in the university in Pennsylvania, in the course delivered to the nurses of the Philadelphia and I'niversity hospitals. In beginning his talk the doctor says; In no one thing does the great | value of a judicious nurse show itself more in her successful feeding of the sick. To show)on how much depends upon the personalty of the nurse in questions of this kind it may interest you to know that in certain forms of hysteria we are compelled to try three or more nurses before finding one having this peculiar qualification. It is well known to all physicians that certain nurses are always peculiarly successful in this matter, and you can readily see, therefore, how important this subject is to each one of you. We shall not today take up the consideration of tho digestion of food, but will confine our attention more particularly to tho food management of sovero forms of internal diseases, associated with fevers, which would naturally fall under tho observation of physician. In most of these cases the question of nourishment and consequent maintenance of vital powers of the patient is of the greatest importance. I may say that quite usually it is of more consequence than any one remedy, and in many serious diseases, as in uncomplicated typhoid fever, it is practically the only treat tnent necessary. "To impress this fact more strongly, I may be permitted to mention a case in point. About five years ago a healthy, vigorous young woman sickened with typhoid fover of ordinary severity. At no time during the case was there any complication. .She took food with groat unwillingness, and only after persistent urging. Milk containing a small amount of stimulant was given every two hours day and night. She was then in the latter part of the third week of typhoid, just at the time when there is greatest danger of death from exhaustion. Her own physician re turned from his summer vacation and assumed charge of the caso. The sumo treatment was confinucd, but sho died suddenly a week after. 1 made the post mortem ex unination and could find no causo for sudden death. Upon c!ose!y questioning the mother we ascertained that gradual ly the small quantities of milk had been replaced by beef tea, so that [practically nothing was taken tho | last few days of life but bcof tea. I As you well know boef tea is a stimulant, and contains hut a minute proportion of nourishment. It is evident, therefore, that in this a valuable life was lost from failure tore cognize this important principle. The doctor then proceeded to discuss the use of different articles of food in sickness, such as milk, kou miss, wine; whey, whisky and hrltndy, dour, gruel, curds, beef juice and beef peptonoids- Careful directions were given as to the methods of feeding in sickness and con vales cence, with useful hints to tho nurse. >ur Country" A I J'C-rTJ M'ss Polly Ann Perkins. Huoaduuhii-:, Tow,?To Tiik N t:\vs: If people b'licve rill they reml in the political papers these days they will think that the salvation of the whole material world depends upon the tariff question, the silver question, the labor question, the i ail road question, an' so on world without end.

McLnuriu, Highamand Smith candidates for Congress from the * Si <tli district, spoke here yesterday. Ilighant devoted the most of his time . . to criticising other people, telling how lie was ohoated out tho Senatorship of Marion county, and other such matters, scarcely touching upon national nutters at all. He goes around with an arm full of hooks nml "draws tho authorities on tho follows." Ife purely went for Norton, who was not present. Mcl/iiurin made a bright speech, interspersed with considerable humor, but the speech of tho day was made by Jeremiah Smith, who dealt almost altogether upon questions of national importance, and showed that lie was by far the best ported man of the three. Notwithstanding the bettor part of tho small audience were Tillman men and in sympathy with Tillman's little Attorney General, several Tilmanites have admitted that Smith made the speech of the day. Kor hard, common sense, ho is by far ahead of any of his oppo nonts. During McLaurin's speech he said ho.v lie appreciated the compliment of the Alliance, and that tho Alliance had taken him because he was "a now, clean man." When ho took his seat, Smith arose and proceeded to arraign the "youngest attorney general," etc., so strongly that he was obliged to got up and explain that by the term "new, clean man," he referred only to this race, and that he meant no insinuations upon Mr. Smith or the other candidates. The three candidates go to Silver, a little town nii.c miles out, whore another meeting is to he held today. ^ m ? The Old Restful Paths"Thus saith the Ford, Stand ye in the ways, and see/and ask forthe old paths, where is the good way, and walk therein, and ye shall find rest for your souls." "Come unto mo and 1 will give you rest." From the questioning, the tumult, the rush of this busy world, how blessed it is to turn aside into tho old restful paths! There was a day long ago when your heart grew weary of sin. The burden was oppressive; the ways of the world were weariness to you. Tlio din of its noise haiab and dis- / ' fiOl'llllllt. () how vmi Inn.Vf'd fi?r rnoi" You found tlie path of true repentance and faith in the Lord Jesus, and walking therein, you come to a place of perfect peace. The burden of sin rolled away from your heart; the power which hold you a slave to the world was broken; there was given you the oil of joy for mourning, the garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness. How is it now? "Ah," you say, "the sweet dove of peace does not brood overnty spirit now as then; sin often has doRifnim: over me; the world enchains me; I am not at rest;" It must bo then that you have stray ed from tho old paths. Coi?.0 hack an 1 yon will find rest for your 'Oul. Come back to the plain path by which you first entered into rest. "If we confess our sins, lie is fathful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse lis from all iinriohieoiisnpsM " come back to your old simple faitliin the precious atoning blood, for they who have believed do enter into rest. The old paths are the onlv easy ones for tired feet. How restful to turn aside from the weary round of daily care, and leave it all with Jesus in childlike trust. How comforting when we are sick and holploss to leai. upon him who "took our infirmities ami bore our sicknesses." How blessed to feci when heart and flesh fail that we can forever rest upon the faithful saying "Christ Jesus ennie into the world to save sinners." There are delightful avenues of intellectual enjoyment; many sweet ways of social fellowship; but the only path to perfect rest and satisfaction for the immortal spirit within us is the path of simple (jrospel truth, so plain that a little child may safely walk therein.-?Christian CI unrdian.
