Rodgers mado his report and last night tho clerku awarded tho ad vertising to tho Register ami forwarded a communication to |ho State, saying that according to Rodger's report the ?Register had the largest circulation. To day the Slate contained a severo editorial calling the award an "In famen? swindle," and tho report "n llngrant and wilful lief' Tlie editorial said that Rodgers "iu maklnur his roport had lied deliberately and maliciously with intent to injure the State, which he hut?r>, and benefit, tho Register,) which he supports," aud that he knew the Regl?ters circulation was not half as largo as the State's. The editorial alao uiii<I that Cray aud Rope in accept ing and endorsing a report so made have broken their oaths to perform their duties, and have carried out a conspiracy to defraud the State of its reputation and to give the Register a reputation which it could not otherwise possess." Cray and Rope were charged with outrageous partisanship aud fraud. To-night the matter culminated when A.. E. Gonzales met. General Cray lu the crowded lobby of tho Grand Ceu tral hotel. Tho occurrences that fol lowed are conservatively givon accord ing to the most dispassionato state ments from witnesses obtainable. Gouzaks said to Gray: "I have been anxious to see you to tell you soiuc thlug l have been saying about you all day.

Any one who will assert that the Reg ister has half the circulation of tho State tells a willful lie." Gonz-des repeated this, and said that il was an ou'rago on the tax payers of the St?t.e to have the award given to a paper wit h not half the State's circula tion. Gray asked it Gonzales bad received his communication, j About this time N, G. Gonzales c.imo ! into tho lobby, and, hearing his broth er's voice camo up to him. Gray thou Bald so there are two of you, are there? Have I. a friend here!" At this appeal a number of persons Immediately rushed up, and the cry was heard, "Yes, lots of them." Cray excitedly threw of his overcoat and drew his pistol and said "Any man ! who says thatl am a fraud is a d?d liar;" j At this juncture Sampson Ropo came up and shouted "That's what I say, and auy man who accuses me of fraud is a 1 d?d liar." N. G. Gonzales asked him what h? said, and upon his repeating it strucic him iu the face with his left hand. Mr. Ropo Is said by two eye witnesses to have made two attempts to draw a pistol when ho and Gonzales closod in on each other. The two men fell to tho floor, clinch ing each other, Gonzales on top belab oring Rope. Ropo stuck his fingers in Gonzales'eyes aud gouged them. Gon zales called out to him to stop gouging f'him.

In the nieantituo A. E. Gonzales had been facing Cray, who stood with drawn pistol. Gonzales advanced one step, called Gray a d?d coward and told him t o throw away his pistol,as he had none, Juul light it out. Tho strug gle between Rope aud tho other Gon zales got these two separated, and Gen eral Gray remained in a corner of the lobby for fully live minutes standing erect with drawn pistol and pale face. A. E. Gonzales continued to curse Gray and his friends, telling him he could whip any three of them. Jly this time some of Gonzales friends had been at traded into the hotel and the two brothers were taken up stairs. The affair created the most Intense excitement, and nothing else is talked Iabout. It is probable that tomorrow will bring developments in the mattor. Suits for perjury are talked of. AKOVIIUH now C?LUSf?'l?, S.

Nov. 25.?To-day wan AUiuucu day at tho Exposition aud Preside.!4 Livingston, of the Georgia Al liance, was liere ahd made an address to Bcveral huudred Ucorgla and Carolina larmevs this afternoon in Music Hall. He was introduced by tho llou Martin V. Calvin. Mr. Livingston began by explaining the principles ol tho Alliance und the meaning of the sub-treasury bill.'as he believed tl at mnay in his audience, uot being members of the Order, did uot know clearly what the purposes of the Alliance wen:, llo was very earnest in ins talk und laid great stress on every word ho ultircd. Ho said he had hoard It rumored that the Alliance did not have enough money to pay tho delegates who attended the Natioual Convention in In dianapolis last week. In beginning he said ho would nronouuee Ute report un true. He said i hat the purposes of the Order were fixed and definite and farm ers were btnt on having tho financial system changed. He knew thero was stroug opposition to tho Alliance, but its members did not mind that; in fact rather like it, for by discussion of questions formers would be educated and would bo able to linully e*riko on some plan that would glvo them relict". llo said that tho sub-treasury bill was tho only schema that had yet beon found that could furnish improvement, and if any better plan could be suggested die farmors were ready and willing to accept it. The only hindrance. te the Order, the Colonel Haid, was from within and not from without their ranks. He em phatically said that this country is iu a dcprcB.uul condition, uad thut merchants, bankers and cotton men wero trembling in their boola simply on account of the uncertainty of the financial condition. He said what furniers demanded wus financial rebel" and tax relief, aud when they ?et those two things they will have plenty ami live happily. In v>ubsu?ntiul'.on at bis charge of tho uncertainty' of iinuuciul alfairs, ho re turn ked that l'radstreot rcportod that 92 per cent, of business was douo on time. Lack ot" coufidenco is tho cause of this uncertainty, ho said, und ho proved it by saying that money could be borrowed in NewYork nt a low interest subject to call, .lu.(. not on time. As te> the Oculu platform and Bub-treasury bill Col. Livingston said they wero not un democratic or impraedeabr, as some writers think. liefcrr -g to Federal taxes the speaker said lhatiu 1880thorc was forty-three billion dollars of busi ness done in this country, and out ot that amount oaly .seventeen and a half billions was taxed. Mr Livingstou said that farmers wero sufferers by ?11 taxes not being put?, llo said there is a cry that thero is over production of cotton, but it is not so. Nothing is overproduced except fools' prtd rascals, that Divine Frovidoece, who rules over tho uuivci se, nevor wasted ilia gilts. He .-aid farmers were selling cotton now at %less than it cost them to make it, and it was because of tho poor financial banking system and becauso speculators arc holding cotton. In his experience cotton always brought tho highest prices when currency reached the highest poiut. Oue great trouble was, ho said, that 91 percent, of tho wealth of this country was controlled by llvo Eastern States outside of whore tha crops of this country are grown. lie advised farmers this year to first make crops of tho necessaries of life needed at homo, and thcu'afterwards to plant cot ton. Col. Livingston referred to the talk ! that tho slrensth of tha Alliance was wcaloniug and that the Order weuld soon be dissolved. In answer to that ho said that tho wish was father to the thought, for the Alliance was stronger now thrfu over before and that it was eoing to tenaciously hold together and accomplish its object, though it will take years to do it. He said ho wanted East ern political domination broken; that tho North uot only controlled the finances ,f j"oaimerco. they even aro masters, die.f.'itors nnn w>..?;vnorn ol political al fairs. lie said that tho /->n?'?U.HO strong that it elects the.

' 4 A 1 RUGGISrS ERROR COUSGl THE DEATH OF A LITTLE GIRL IN COLUMBIA. Marpbli ? Accldontali* rut mp (tr Qnl< Blofiiow Little Maud LladaaT Wae Killed ?Tb? PharaaacUt Alaaeat Ceased i?* tna Uafortneate Bfletake. Columbia, S. C., Nov. 22.?No eveut that in - occurred in Columbia for years has created huc-i universal hits been more talked ? i, than the peculiarly sad death of little Maud, one of the pretty, bright and generally petted twin daugh ters of the Rev. Dr. and Mrs. W. C. Lindsay. Yesterday The State made the announcement of her having died I shortly after being given a dose of medicine. Although the facts were I then known they were suppressed at the earnest request of intimate friends of the family who desired an in vest if a tlon first. As stated, the little girl was found dead by ner parents on returning from i ehurch., Although Drs. Taller and Hei I nitsh were quickly on the scene they could do nothing. Tho death of their ; child completely crushed the parents. Yesterday it was developed that Dr. Lindsay, for fear the child would be sick, wentto one of the drug stores and called for three qulnlno powders of i three grains oach. They were put up by the druggist in charge, and one was given to iho little girl. 1 On Friday night Dr. Talley made an examination of one of these pewdera. Yesterday morning he applied the reg ular test aud found them to be mor phine. I t made the little one sleep aud she could hardly have sulfered rauch pain. A curious fact Is that Dr. Lind say, when he catno dowu street, had almost :.tupped at another drug store, but seeing a strange clerk there he went on so as to avoid any possibility of the very thing which afterwards occurred. Tho coroner yesterday morning em paneled a jury of inquest, which viewed the remains yesterday alternoun and tho remains were interred in tho Bap tist Ctiurcn yard. What makes the case sadder than all else is the terrible grief of tho young druggist who made tho mistake, lie is considered by all physicians one of the most accomplished an l reliable drug gist In the city. He had felt relieved on the night of the Killing when Dr. Tal ley tola him it was not morphine as suspected. When the horrible truth came out yesterday morning he at once tendered his resignation and was al most crazed. Tho reaction was almost too much for him. Ho had never before made a mistake of any kind. When The State representative called on him last evening he fouud him iu a dark room sit ? iug all alone enduring his ter riblo sufferings. It was a sight at sad as the death of the little one. The voting man could not account for the mistake. He said he hud always kept the two drugs associated In his mind m order to prevent a mistake, and while thinking of this on this occtssiuu he must have picked up the wrong bottle. The bottles were dissimilar and on dif ferent sides of the stands, aud the mor phine bore the poison label. He said he was very sorry he could not change positions with tho dead child. What nearly killed him, he sold, was the knowedge that ho could do nothing to undo what, he had done, when he would bo only too glad to give his own life to do so.? Tho State. The Record says that Dr. Rratton, the young man who made the mistake, cer tainly has tho deepest sympathy of everybody In Columbia, and his many friends .-ire doing all they can to cheer him up in this terrible ordeal. One of tho kindest aud most Christianlike acts was done on the part of Dr. Lindsay yesterday, who sent a committee of his congregation to Dr. Rratton to lender to him thoDoctoi's heartfelt sympathy. A. NEW COT 1 ON PicKER. It Looku i.Ike a Succtiait--A Uesoi lotion of Um Miicliliio. If the Wallis Lispenard cotton picker, to which the Riedmont ISxnftfiMfaa aJ? Atlanta awarded a goMi medal, is capa ble of tloing ytWu'18 claimed for it the problem, oi mechanical cotton picking vi,-floarly solved. Tho machine is not yet perfected, and several improve ments, already designed, aro to be added to It, bin those who have Investigated its cons' ruction and merits assert that It is built on conect mechanical prin ciples, and a practical test in tho cot ton Held proved Its utility. Tho ma chine gathers more rapidly than can be done by hand; more trash is, of course, mixed with the cotton in this way, but not enough that gins will not clear it. It also loaves the leaves and green bolls unharmed, so the greater part of the problem has beou solved. Persona competent to judge its merits, including tho superintendent of tho Georgia experimental State farm and a former commissioner of agricul ture of that State, as well us proiiiluent planter,, pronounce It a success and believe that a considerable portion of next year's crop will be picked by it. I The following account of its con struction and operation will bo of in terest: It consists of a series of small brass cylinders about three inches in diame ter, sot parallel in a frame, one above the other, and which operate by turn ing with great rapidity on both sides of the cotton atalk, tho motion to tho cyl inders being given by the wheels of the machine which run in tho middle of the cotton rows, causing tho machine to straddle the row of cotton which is to bo operated on. As ono side of the brass cylinders la presented to tho cot ton a great number of sharppointed needlellko spikes present themselves through holes perforated In the cylin der, which gather the cotton, and as the cylinders turn over to the opposite side the needles are drawn in, which turns the cotton looso and causes It to drop in boxes on both sides of the ma chine. This In and out motion of the neodles. which seizes tho cotton from the stalk when presented to It and then drops It in tho boxes when reversed, is secured by a simple but ingonlous con tri vanco inside the cylinder which gives the proper motion to the needles. The numbot' of cylinders depends upon the quantity of cotton open on tho stalk; for the cylinders can oo Inserted in the frame at pleasure as needed from two to two dozen according to tho height of the machine or tho size of cotton, all of them having tho snme motion. If the bottom crop Is to be gathered, of course only a few cylinders are inserted to reach tho cotton open. If It is open all over the stalk enough cylinders are usod to cover all of the stalk. The machine Is a simple one, having only three important motions, the small re volving brass cylinder on both sides of the cotton stalk, the motion to which is given by tho wheels running in the middles on both sides of the cotton, next the running out of the needles from tho cylinders which grasp the cot ton as t,hey come In centact with it, and then the withdrawal of the needles which turns the cotton loose and de posits it in the boxes as that side of the cylinders approach them.?Columbia Register._ Plnaoa and Organa, N.
