Ile showed that he had not only writ ten a imost scathing article against Judge (Goff, but had fought his usur pation with all his power. flow then could he (say that I had bent the knee to him ? If he is no better juige of facts than of ien, then God save his practiec at tile bar." Turning to Mr. Duncan, he asked w hy he was so interested in the dis pensary law ? Ilis father-in-law was a member of the board, Mr. .)ames Nor ton was also, and they had no coin plaints to make. le went on to say that he was sure that the people felt that the dispensary law should not be in the hands of the State offlicers. Lie read from his message what he recomn mended. lie asked Mr. Dunean who told him that he had given a bill to the Attorney General making a board which he could control : Mr. Harbor positively denied having made such a statement. Mr. Duncan said he would reply in time. Governor l'vans, turning to the audience, said who ever mado such a statement told a lie: it was positively untrue. lie did recommend that a bill be drawn up ilputting the aTairs -of the dispensary in the hands of a commis sion elected by the Legislature. MIAe. Barber told him that Mr. Tompkins didn't like that. He (Governor Nvans) went to Mr. Tompkins and the latter said that there had been a great deal of talk In Columbia about the board Ie ceiving rebates and if this bill was carried out it would look like a rellec tion oi them and a seeming contirma tion of the rumors. Ile told Mr. Tomp kins that he would do nothing to in jure him and went on to show him how the plan would be a good one. Governor l'1vtns was hoarsoe, stiffer ing from it soro throat, and he got. Mir. Cooper to read that part Of his muls sage in refe'cnce to the proposed now board of control. The (;ove'nor said he recommended the board because he daily had to sign checks for $20,000 or ior'e, which h1e did not know whether it was to pur chase liquoi' orl saw dust.

Conway, the capital of the Indeoen lent Rtepublic of Ilorry, is not thei nost accessible point in the world and, in consequence, there will be no cam )aign meeting to-day, which will be 3pent by the party in getting from Dlonway to Marion, where the last meceting of tihe first week of the cam paign will b3 hold. Tnore are no braver, honestor, more independent and inoe- contented peo plt in the State than the citizens of that aforesaid Independent Ropublic of 1lorry. fly the way, an oxplanation of how it acquired that nume nay be Interesting. Senator Derham, who represents that county in the uppor house of the Genoral Assembly, says it is called the Independent lopublic because there was once a time when South Carolina was not a part of t iorry. h'lhat explanation may be very gratifying to the pride and may tickie the vanity of the citizens of the ite public, but people who do not live within its confines will persist in be lieving that Ilorry acquired its proud title because of the sturdy manliness and unquenchable loveof independence V h ich claracterize its citizens. They bow the knee to nobody and an alyze ILIl questions with such shrewd, sound comnmon sense that they usually tako the right side. Being right, naught can Inove them. Citizens of other parts of the State, where railroads abound and comunni oation with each other is casy, know little of t.o topography of the indo pendent Iepublic and possibly less about the quiet and determined men who inhabit it. There is, however, butoono way to study lLorry and its people-to go there and dwell auong them) iefor0 leaving the sullbject of llorry, it is but just to remark that Senatot ljhlin says thiere Is no truth in th<. story that when a iorry citizen goom slopping his purse Is a sack and h h currency terrapins or, as they arc more familiarly called, cooturs: anI that if a big cooter is put oi the count ce' to pay for goods whose value doe not equal his, one or two smnailet' coot c1rs are givenI as changO. 1ie believes tihe story is but an invention of soinc citizon of a less favored section of South Carolina w1ho is envious of llorry's fame.

It was intended to open the meeting at II o'clock und thlLt candidates should speak from the high porch of the court house to the- antici pated multitudes blow. But when 11 o'clock arrived there was no multitude, neither at Crowd. There were a few knots of townspeople. so at postpone Iment was had till 12 o'clock. The crowd failing to iaterialize, there was a Calcus as to whether or not the can didates should speak. It seems that they arc fond of speaking, for they spoke ; not from the balcony, for the balcony could hold the audience. They were all asked inside, where there were front seats to spare. There were, all told, candidates, correspondents, whites and negroes, 122 people present when the meeting was called to order. Of theso 43 were negroes. Captain Ward, county chairman, called the mietin g to order, asking for ar. attentive hearing for all. The courteous )opl)10 of this old town, whether agreeing or not with thle speak ers, let no candidate tako his seal without giving him some little en couragement. NIr. M. IB.

A Supreme Court ois Fortune Tellere. Ai opinion halded down by the su promo court is likely to send cold chills I running up an1(d dowI the spinal col unins of modern diy seers, fortune toll ors andi the like who have been wont to find a rich harvest, in Michigan. It is evident that the learned justices do not tako much stock in the ability of the seventh son of at seveith son to toll the future. Thin intimation of the views of tho-court wits coitatinied in anll opinion written by Justice Grranit and signed by the other justices in tihe case of the Peo plo versus Arthur Elmer. Last year Ehlmter appearedl at Ipnia and alvertisel extensively his power to foretell the future. H was liberally pattronized, but after advising a woman to leave her husband, saying that while inl a trance ho had seen the latter in tle act of killing her, he was arrested as a disortlerly person mid convicted. This judgment wits affirmed inl nll opilion in which the English statute which declares that ''every person pro teinling or professing to tell fortunes shall be deemed a rogue and a vaga bond" was approvingly quoted. The opinuiont also approves the language of the trial judge to the effect that no per son not a lunatic could believe the no cused possessed the power to foretell the future.--Lansing (Mich.)
