25 to 1 in favor of the dispensary
against prohibition is I he
record at Greenville when Tillman
held the hand primary Mon
day.
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."

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

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

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. I ara sorry he is
not here, but when he comes back
his friends will tell him what I
have said, and let him write an
apology sod publish it. I believe
he i* a m >n of character and an
honorable man and that he will
do it.

Chefoo. Aug. 6.
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. The country
all along the river between I'ekin
and Tien i'siu is a low, alluvial
plain almost imp.is-able for
wheeled vehio vs i-i vh* wet season

strategic reason why the Chinese
should have made a stand there
rather th n at any other of the
dozen villages east of the walled
town of Tung Chow, where is
stored an immense amount of
provisions upon which the oitv ot
i'ekin would have to depend in
case of siege.
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. It i? poss
ble rhat a blow of this magni

the Chinese to ?he advance of the

And thy smile reassures, spite of lapse of tin
years,
^ And dispels, as of old, my heart's tremhlini
fears.
So 1 rise from my couch, and to waiting taki

Resolved to be brave, since you'd have mo so
Yet that can bo only a denotata day
Which noes you, my Robert, no far, far away.
Robert in Heaven, oftlmes through the day
I 1 falter and turn from mv duties away;
For 1 am aweary, and the timo la no long

Then dream hut of thee in the sombre twilight
And thus you come softly, it secius, to my side
