The News ami Courier says that the? ?
iOollctow County Fair has been a suecess
is no longer questioned. Friday
was the (lay of days for Colleton ^
rtJiiu'v. At an early hours that
c<
morning a line of buggies, wagons .
A
and other conveyances was pouring ?
a M 'ldy stream of people into the
town. These found their way to the n
Kair grounds, and at the time Senator
Tillman began his address the
crowd iuside of the grounds was
variously estimated at from three to ^
five Thousand. ')l
The feature of the day was Sena- *
(or Tillman's address. His speech 1)1
wru- )a< kig some of his old-time tire, 111
hut was none the less interesting
oad occasionally there sliowed flash- u
oa of his old-time vigor. His views 11
ob compulsory education, negro edu- "
cation and the Taft dinner in Coiuinbia,
were listened to with marked
attention and at time he was inter- ol
rupt' d by applause.
K>;-(?overnor Hevwarfl Int rnu nrori 1,1
the Senator in his usual happy man- 'c
ner. It has been fifteen years since "
Senator Tillman has spoken to a C(
Coileton audience, and as he remark- il
ed many events have grown dim in '*
con nation with the people of this
county. l!e, however, has many
warm admirers in the county, and
t-hey were present in great numbers ?
list ening to every word as it fell 0
from his lips.
Senator Tillman was very pro- '1
nounced in his views in opposition "
to compulsory education. He hasec: n
his opposition to the relationship of |
the races upon the fourteenth and
fifteenth amendments, which would
make the compulsory education law ;l
apply, with equal force to whites
and negroes. He had passed through 11
oae experience of ne?ro domination ^
and misrule. He does not wish him- *
Belf or the coining generations to r
pass through such another experionce.
He is afraid that to force a
all children into the school house (
would bring about the enfranchise- c
raent of negro voters. And while '
he advocates the education of the 1
white children still he thkiks that J
'Oom pulHory education would bring
about the results of the three "P's" *
?preacher, politician, penitentiary. ?
He compared the negro population 1
ito the white, thereby showing how 1
imuch greater the negro vote would
be than the white, were compulsory 1
education enforced. And then again 1
tie stated that one of Ms reasons ror c
not favoring compulsory education f
is that it is against his ideas ot \
liberty, because practically it is in- ^
voding one's home. '
Senator Tillman took occasion to c
give a rap to the self-appointed com- '
rnittoe at the Tuft dinner in Columbia.
He said that South Carolinians
had been set down by travelers as
a hospitable people, but "the idea P
of any self-respecting man inviting
you to a dinner that you have preprepared
yourself by the payment or
$10 in advance." He spoke of trav-L
eling from Charleston to Columbia
in Taft's private car, but said that ,
ho told Tuft that on reaching Co- ,
Itimbia he would have to cut acquain- ,
fan.ee and would turn him over
Gonzales, Hoyt & Co." Then as a
private citizen I wont to hoar Tart
speak, and at 5 o'ciock that afternoon
I went again witn him as far
as Trenton."
Senator Tillman discussed at
some length the feasibility of the
national Government draining the
low lands of the coastal region, thus
reclaiming several thousand acres or
the most valuable lands. In his
opinion it is justly proper for the
national Government to expend money
in draining the low lands of this
and other States, as in putting water
on the arid lands of the West. *

A letter from Laurens to The State
ays little surprise Is expressed there
rifti nr. ii. i;. ifignam ik not to l>??
Mind. When the news was received
i Laurens the general comment was,
Well, that is just about what might
e expected, when the bond was so
ght; I think I'd have done the same
liing."
Underlying this sentiment is the
act that in Laurens and Laurens
Dunty Dr. Highain and his friend,
vant, are believed to be guilty of
Mil murder. There is absolutely
0 sympathy for them up there; the
oople believe them guilty of murer
or not guilty. Hence, when both
ic verdict of the jury and the senMice
were known, and when the
and was reduced from $2,500 to
1,500 severe criticism was heard
a all sides. In the Mountville continuity
where Dr. Iligham resided
>r a while, the people are almost
naninious in their dislike for the
lan, formed before, .long before,
io tragedy.
One young man, wno knew Dr.
igham very well, while in the city
1 Laurens shortly after the trial,
sing asked what he thought of the
ian, said: "He was a rough, mean
dlow; full of braggadocio, always
liking about what ho would and
Mild do: he told me about huvimr
special pistol to kill another fel>w
with. 1 had very little regard
>r him."
From the newspaper accounts of
le trial and the testimony brought
ut. surprise was caused in Laurens
n account of the sentence imposed
> Judge Watts. Because the deMidanLs
did not go on the stand
) tell the world just how this awful
listake had occurred, as mistake
hey claimed it to be, tho people
n Laurens regard it as a fear of
eing cross-examined and decidedly
gainst the defendants.
Dr. Bighani is a low, heavy-set
nan, possibly live feet, nine inches
a height, dark red hair, parted in
he middle, medium low forehead,
uildy complexion; eyes of light
nown, reddened as if by dissipation
.nd granulated eye lids, lie is ratli1
r boyish in appearance, clean ahawMi,
and when his lace is in repose
le appears rather a mild mannered
nan. In appearance he is rather
onager than his age, lis years.
Before Dr. Bigliain's trial, M. L.
Jrisp, his brother-in-law, who lives
it Wliitmires, was one of the hondsnen.
At that time there was no
eeling on the part of the Crisp fa mi
y except that the shooting wan a
enable mistake; later, upon invesIgntion,
the Crisps withdrew their
>pposltioii to the prosecution. The
act that Mr. Crisp was on Dr. Hlglam's
boud was stressed by tHe deenilant's
attorney. However, after
he trial, Mrs. M. M. Bigham, mother
of the defendant, signed his
)ond. *

MADE BIG HAUL
Over Eight Hundred Gallons of Booze
Captured in Charleston
BY STATE CONSTABLES
The Whiskey Was Found nnd
Miles Above Charleston on
the Afdieley lliver on I^ist Sun
tiny Morning, VTIicre It Ilud Ileen
Stored l>y Charleston Blind Tiger*.
The biggest seizure of liquor ever
made in this State under the dispensary
law was made Sunday morning
near Charleston by the State
Constable. In speaking of the big
haul the News and Courier says:
Chief Constable Hateman and
the members of his squad of raiders
received a little surprise Monday
morning as they were about to move
the big haul of contraband liquor,
which they sized Sunday morning on
the Asheley River, eight miles from
the city, from the storing place to
Charleston, when they found that instead
ol' having captured 600 gallons
of whiskey they had in reality
807 1-2 gallons in their possession.
The record-breaking seizure was
brought to Charleston Monday morning
in live big drays and landed at
the chief dispensary ollice on Hast
Hay street, after an infinite amount
of trouble and straining on the part
of the horses pulling the loads.
Chief Hateman received the following
receipt from the dispensary
ollice, after having turned over the
liquor there:
Received from J. F. Hateman,
chief constable:
64 kegs, 10 gallons each, whlskoy.
1 keg, K! gallons, whiskey.
1 keg, 11 gallons, whiskey.
2 kegs, 1gallons each, whiskey.
2 kegs, 16 gallons each, whiskey
11 barrels, 24 quarts each, whiskey.
1 barrel, 200 one-half pints, whiskey.
(Signed.) E. FI. Prioleau.
Bookkeeper Charleston County
Dispensary Board.
To total of eight hundred gallons
make the seizure undoubtedly the
largest ever recorded in this State
under any circumstances. The haul
is worth to the dispensary not less
than $1,800, at a reasonable estimate,
not considering what it is
worth to the illicit dealer who lost
it. The stuff found in the barrels
was all 100 proof, the bottles showing
the Government stamp very
plainly.
RECORD CORN' CROP.
Report Shows Tlmt Farmers Are
Now Diversifying.

will exceed last season's record
by at least 10,000,000 bushels is the

[Commissioner Watson in Columbia.
The preliminary reports received
show that already 37,000,000 bushels
are to he obtained from the crop.
Commissioner Watson thinks the total
yield will be over 30,000,000
bushels.
Last season's crop was 20,250,000
bushels, this being an increase of
10,000,000 bushels over the previous
two years. It is also expected that
the present season's crop will bring
a high market price. In 100 8 the
average price per bushel in this State
was 0 1 cents.
This was higher price than in any
State except Arizona where the average
was $1.05. The average price
for the whole country was Go.ti tents
l>er bushel. The prices have gradually
and substantially increased for
the past several years. In 1904,
for the State, the price was 7 0 cents;
in 1905, the market price was 7 4
cents; in 1900, 73 cents; 1 907, 78
cents, 1908, 91 cents.
Before the Mclver Williamson plan
j was placed before the planters of thh
State and the United States fame
demonstration work was begun the
' yield of corn was only 17,500,00(
bushels. Now the crop is being gen
orally raised and the exhibits whicl
have been shown this year are vorj
gratifying. '

A. II. Hragg, a farmer living near
Red weed, N. C., committed Biiicide
a few days ago about 10 o'clock
by shooting himself dead with a shotgun.
The old gentleman had been despondent
three or four weeks and
lately showed very great signs of
intellectual decrepitude. Ho went
to town several weeks ago and said
he felt that irresponsibility. The
morning of the suicide he started
out and told a colored man that he
wanted to borrow a gun with which
to shoot squirrels. There the smartness
of the determined suicide allowed
itself. He had prepared a forked
| stick with which to work the trlg!
ger and putting the gun against a
stump, pulled the trigger and blew
his head off.
He was f?8 years old and had two
sons and three daughters.

A discovery of far-reaching importance
to the farmers of the South is
the new fertilizer which has been
perfected on one of the Islands near
Charleston, S. C. It has long been
known that lime is an essential food
for plants of all kinds and that they
cannot live wheu it has been exhaustI

extremely deficient in lime, and that
