Cou miwa, S. C, Nov. 21.?The Bfcii
sution of the night is an encounter that
occurred between N. G. Gonzales, ediu?r
oi the state, and A. E. Gonzales,*??*
eraJ -gent of the snmo paper, on the
one side, und J. Walter Gray,ol Green
ville, and Samp'tou Rope, ot Newberry,
clerks respeottivdy oi the house ami

Tho law requires that elc.iks of the
two leghlatlve bodies shall award ad
vertisements of proposals for the Stato

Cray and t'opo depute ! the duty of de

pos'.tor. 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. You, or Tope, or Rodgers, or
whoever 13 responsible tor awarding
the advertising to tho Register,
and the statement that the Regis
tor has a greater circulation than
the Slate is a G-d liar and a fraud.
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. Gon/.ales states that he did this

struck over the hand by a stick In the
hands of somo one in the crowd.
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.

Aimjukta. 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

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.

It is built on conect mechanical prin

done by hand; more trash is, of course,

not enough that gins will not clear it.

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

ONE CENT PER POUND BY ACTUAL TEST.
At the gin house of Mr. F. H. Roberts, in Richmond county, just
before starting his SAILOR ELEVATOR one bale had been ginned
by the old method.
Just after starting his ELEVATOR another hale was ginned from
the same pile. Without knowing this fact the cotton buyer otleied one
cent more per pound for the bale ginned with theon offeretij elevator.
Read the statement of the Buyer and Seller.
This will certify that of two samples of cottonsod us to-day
by Mr. Rowan Rose, the market value of one exceeded that of the other
by one cent per pound. (Signed) D. CRAWFORD & SONS.

No other envestment in the
world is so absolutely sate or con
sulenng the orotection^ me c pro
fitable than a life or dowment
policy in The Mutual ?ile Insur
ance Company of New York, for
the following reasons :
ist. The con licet is based upon
a natural and universally operating]
law of mortality, backed by the
good faith and continued payments
of the largest number (182,013111
18S9) of carefully selected lives
insured in any company 011 the re
serve fund system.
and. The Mutual Life has the
largest reserve fund of any insur
ance company in the world?being
now over $147,000,000.
8rd. During the forty-svene
years of its business, its receipts
from interest alone have paid all
death claims and left a surplus
therefrom of $11,315,901 69.
4th. Its interest receipts have
exceeded all expenses of manage
ment by the enormous sum of $55,
447,246.89.
5th. Its annual income in 1889
exceeding all the requirements for
paying death claims, matured en
dowments, annuities, surrender
values, dividends to policy-holders
and expenses (in all amounting to
$21,629,504.61) by nearly ten mil
lions of dollars, or exactly $9,981,
6th. The Mutual Life has al
ready paid to and accumulated for
ts policy-holders ovei $435,000,
000, which is double the transac
tion of any other company in the
world.
Ne other financial system can
give such protection and security,
nd is so well guarded on every
side against the disturbing elements
that undermine and overthrow the
best laid plans and methods of men
acting in their individual capacity.

And a good lamp
must be simple; when it is not simple it is
1 not good. Simple, Beautiful, Gcod? these
words mean much, but to see "The Rochester"
will impress the truth more forcibly. All rectal,
rough and seamless, and made in three pieces only,
it is absolutely safe and unbreakable. Like Aladdin's
of old, it is indeed a "wonderful lamp," for its mar
velous light is purer and brighter than gas light,
softer than electric light and more cheerful than either.
