The re-union of Confederate Veterans, held in Greenwood last week was well attended and the hospitality of the good people of that progressive town was uubounded. The next meeting will be held in Columbia a year hence. Mr. A. Kohn's report of the campaign meeting at Greenville, published in the State, referring to Tillman's speech and hand pri mary said : uHe called me up and said there were 2,500 present and he wanted the vote fully noted There were not over 20 or 25 who voted on his call for pro hibition; when the dispensary vote was called for the hands as of old went up as if out of a Gat ling gun?fully 25 to 1 was the record. The dispensary had the overwhelming numbers voting, and Tillman said this would be the result in the primary." Tbe law holds both maker and circulator of a counterfeit equally guilty. The dealer who sella you a dangerous counterfeit of Dewitt's Witch Hazel Salve rlaks your life to make a little larger profit. You can not trust him. OeWltt's It the only genuine and original Witch Hazel Salve, a well known cure for piles and all skin diseases. See that you-i dealer gives you DeWltt's Salve. Crawford Bros d-w-s. | ? I Tillman at Greenville. Senator Tillman war received with much applause. lie said it was six years since he spoke here and it was a great pleasure to be here again and be so well received. Today for the first time the programme was changed and the order of speaking reversed. It was charged that he had been meddling in affairs and that he had no right to be here and be cause he had no opposition he ought to keep away or discuss r ' nothing but national issues. lie explained the change of pro gramme and was told he had un limited time. Before ho started h? f.nlrt whv Vim was hora onH wliu he had a right to be here. He explained he was here in obe dience to party law and he wanted it understood he would hew to the line and if some fingers and toes are cut off the fault would not be his. Then he reiterated that had he remained away he would be accused of being too big for his breeches and having gotten the swell head, and ihen when he came they turned around and told him he was meddling. It was the same as of old, he would be damned if he did and he would be damned if he didn't. He asked the crowd to be quiet until he bottled the hot stuff. The question before you is one effecting you and your progeny for a life time. It is a question to be deeided upon the merits of the matter. There should be no nn/lllA WWAOfl"*/* XT I*- ~ ? uiiuuo j/inonuic. U O W?B nure also because he had been attacked and he and his administration had been attacked and held np to de rision by Col. Hoyt the other dav. ( Applause for Hoy t and Tillman.) Tillman then said he intended only to speak of Col. Hoyt kindly. He would treat him as a high-toned gentleman, but he WARNED THE CROWD that the more it hollered that way the less it would like it hefore he got through. He only wanted to discuss issues. Then Tillman related how the Ik**. i dispensary came as he has here lofore done. Wheu the pro hibitionists say he cheated them they know they are not telling the exact truth. He repeated why he had no use lor a machine, as he had the people back of him. He related why he did not want prohibition and why he thought it a failure. The prohibitionists in Georgia framed the dispensary law for Athens aud that was how the system started. The law was the result of n compromise and concession. He joked and forcibly told the offspring of the dis pensary. He claimed to be the God father. REFERS TO DR GARDNER. Ho wished he could leave one matter unsaid and he regretted that he come in conflict with a distinguished divine, one wl-,(. v ,4s honored md beloved and no doubt properlv so. This divine had gone out of his way to make a political sermon. In this speech he said he took the liberty of mentioning his name Self respect demanded his coming here and talking plainly. Then he took up Dr. Gardner's sermon _ . J . J a a* a a in ana reaa an extract in wnicn ur. Gardner held that the dispensary business was immoral end he so argued. In considering this argu raent Tillman urged that the fTrst thing was whether this proposition that the sale of liquor was immoral. There is not a scintilla oi difference whether the State sells through licenses or through the dispensary, but is it an immoral act? Is it a sin to sell or use whiskey ? These distinguished gentlemen who have held a party convention and nominated their man have as the basis ot their tight that it issintul to sell liquor us a beverage. They quote irotn ci i a f c\ /\ ? .% ? ' 1 i.? Mil Miuivot uunuiuiu t \JI ll'f? I Kible and from which he never heard any other thau a pro hibition sermon. quotes from proverbs. He had as high a regard for the ministers ai anyone. Tney uo not use Mil of iu? text, but quote it in part. He thun quoted from the Proverbs ond Sr. Paul to show that wine drinking was not prohibited. He insisted that the prohibitionists garbled their text and that there was nothing id rhA Rihla t.n nrAVsnt nan nf whiskey. Drunkenness is not for bidden, He substituted (be dis pensary law for the peoples' good. Then he took up another extract from Dr. Gardner's ser mon that the profit feature of the dispensary made the agents of the state try to sell as mnch a* possible. Tillman said there we^-e two si fee to this question. He did not want the peoplo to (ft too much liquor. He wanted the appetites controlled, and then he jumped on the license system. There is as much to be gotten out of liquor as any other legiM mate source of taxation. This minister openly and boldly wants to take away the profit, whi'-h restrains drunkenness by not potting so much liquor in the con* sumer's hand. It was fanaticism run mad to have as much whiakev drunk as now ann get noth ing out of it, and not restrict it. REITERATES ALLIANCE CHARGE. He charged here and now and again as to the alliance. Dr. Gardner said in hi* sermon : that Tillman said what was not so, and he knew it at the time, and that he tried to hold the preachers lip to contempt, and on this be said verbatim: He not only charges me with slander in my utterances, knowing it to be untrue, but he goes further and declared 1 uttered these words to express contempt sor certain men for whom I have contempt. I say it here in the presence of theie many people who lis en to Gardner, that Gar 1 ner owes it to himself to prove his charges hv bringing certifi eaten to prove them or he OWE8 AN APOLOGY. When in 1890-92 the preachers charged me with influelity, I said then that 1 am a poor fallen sinner going from the cradle tn the grave admitting my weakness and trying to forget them, but I wear no preacher oan Kay that I ever treated him except with re pect. Rut now is there an alliance between the barroom and preachers either written or otherwise f Voice in the crowd?Yes. Very well, then I WILL VOTB YOC ON IT. All who believe it is not true bold up your right hands. All who believe the pJeachera are iu allianoe with them either written or not, hold un vein right band. One more word And 1 am done. 1 ara sorry I had to bring thin matter out here, but I always believe in going to a diro'b house, going to his lace, teeth to teeth, when I have a controversy to settle, and therefore at other place* I have had vorv little io say about it.

Bureau Navigation, Washington : Unofficial report believed reliable; at,out 16,000 allies lieavi ly engaged Chinese at Feitsan^ daylight of the 5th. Reuiey. According to the inrorruation in possession of the war department the town of Feitsang is at the head oi tide water on the Pei Ho between 11 and 12 miles bv road beyond Tien Tfliu. It is a village of mud huts, of considerable size, but not walied. The river at this point is not navigable by anything larger than a good sized steam launch, ami it is thought that the troop- probably reached there iu amail boats, tow?d by the naval launches.

From the fact that the engage metit lasted seven and a half hours, it is argued in the depart meet that either the Chinese must have been heavily intrench ed or that there an immense horde of them to stubborn I v contest the advance of tho 16,000 international troops. It is figured bv military experts that a loss of 1,200 killed and wounded on the part of the allies probably means a loss of three to six times as manv by the Chinese.
