LAURENS.S. C, July 2, 1895. TUIman's Memphis Speech. The readers of tho Advkkviseu know that tho Advkiwibkii rank? TiUman very woll up in tho scale Intellectually, and us a,'man of Bomo llterury accom plishments. Wo havo read his occa sional lottors, his hu"drodsof speeches and thousands of interviews, with inter est, if not with profit. Wo rccognizo tho fact that he is a rich man; a lordly man; a man of blooded cattlo upon n thousand hills; that ho is of bluo blood himsolf as ho boasts and has boasted, descended in a straight lino from tho Do Tilghmans that lauded at Balti more and probably camo ovor with the lord of that narao. Wo recognize that TiUman is a master of tho art of porsundlng people that they aro getting along mighty sorrily in this world or that they aro not getting along ntal, and that tho world is imposing upon them and robbing and plundering them of thoir hourly, daily and yearly labor. Wo also accord to him that ho has car ried tho musses of our people with him and shown llrst elass popular tulents, not to use tho othor adjoctivo that us ually goos with the Gracchi und othor leaders of that ilk. All these tulonts and accomplishments wo accord freely and havo uniformly, and wo would con cedo a groat deal more upon a pinch or proper pressure. We have hud hopes that ho would sober down, graduate himself, descend into somo show of soundness and with practice mnke a statosman and do some good work for hliTowh reputation, his State and his country. From his conceded talents and given opportunities, these hopes woro, we trust, not ill founded. But wo now surrender; since that Memphis al^occh all hopo is lost. He should have beo'n*4*?hainod, liko Prometheus, to a rock and not allowed to go to Memphis and mnko that speech. There is. noth ing liko it existing in typo, unless the Anatomy of Molnncholly of old Burton can bo placod side by sldo with it. It has every thing in it. Thoro is no end -to It. All tho literature of tho past and present lVci'Owded Into that two hours speech as spoken, and ten hours speeoh as printed "Ho had been to a groat feast of authors and stolen tho scraps." All South Carolinians were familiar with thorn as hashed an** rohashed over a ad ovor again. Now the tit-bits are given to all tho world, make common property, and there will bo nothing now for Bonjamin to say when ho rises to olectrify tho Semite, tho Congress, tho nution. Thero Is no reason that he should ovor havo halted in his remarks ?ho might have gone on for months, yea, Alken yoars with thirteen months In thorn. We regret that TiUman mado _that speech. His chances for figuring as a great figure, a coming man. und a grout Carolinian, gone und utterly dono for. Benjamin will find tho ut terances of that speeoh rising up to challenge him, as spooks in u hundred frightful shapes, for the remainder of his fitful career. It is u sad duty und wo lamont that wo .must muke tho dreary prophecy of tho evil days to come. In after times, under his wido spreading trees reclining, watching tho clouds from his fragrant Havanna, and counting tho long lines of Bour bon cuttle winding their wuy gracefully "ovor tho lou," as ho reflects upon his downfall and "that that ruined me," mournfully, wretchedly must he pull his hair and unuthemntise thnt mon grel 8poocb to u more mongrel crowd at Memphis. Another Richmond. "Thoro be six ltiehmonds In the field;' I have slain live already." Hero is another attach*upon tho Dispensary law, again by Charleston Attorneys. Murphy, Furrow and Legare attack the law as repugnant to tho Act of Con gress of 1800 forbidding and in re straint of trusts and monopolies. Soctlon 2 of tho Act provides that "every person who shall monopolize, or attempt to monopolize, or combine or conspire with any other person or per sons to monopolize any part of tho trado or commorce among tho soveral States or with foreign nations, shall bo deemed guility of a misdemeanor," etc. So, gontlo reader, and patient public, you can sco whore "wo n-'o," with this Pandoru box thrown wide open upon tho country. Anothor array of nssist ant pot States' counsel with fees the very mention of which will mnko euch separate, hair of tho tuxpayer stand on end, "liko quills of tho fretful porcu pine." Soo here, gentlemen of tho Board of Control-! Why not ongago ?Bob Aldrltch, Ira B. Jones, George Mowor, Gen. McCrady and some four and twonty others "learned in tho law," as standing assistants to light the hat lie.i of tho Administration. "Kings counsel," to vlt: Never squirm at the apparent monopoly. *** i f0 Whon four yours ago the grout ma jority of whito people in South Caro lina declared for govornmont owner ship of railroads, telegraphs, tele phones and tho subtrcusury und other socialistic and agrarian doctrines, wo urged the Democrats who were left in * the minority to organize as such and fight it out on honest democratic lines as of old. Thoy proferrod to bo coquetted with and to proservo u mu< torly inactivity. Now, they boo where aro at, probably. If thoro bo any whoso oyosaro not permanently seeled, let them road tho Irby Interview us published In tho dull los of last Wed nesday. *#* "A D.ig Full" is tho way tho Augusta Chronlolo puts tho Kontucky business. Hardin has been a good studont of the South Carolina wuy. Ho can swear tho moon is mado of greon chooso, and thereby prove himsolf a Jefforsonian democrat. Among tho happy results of tho on forcoment by armed band? of a luw that docs not command tho respect of the people or a largo element'of them tho usual dispensary blood-lotting In Spartanburg. Four State whiskoy constables wont Into ambush on Thurs day night on tho roadsldo eight miles from the city of Spartanburg: Petti grow, Drlco, Toland and Stevens. At 1 o'clock on Friday morning A. J. Fish er und William Durham passed tho road side in a wagon. Result: Flshor and Durham wcro found shot to death; their bodies mangled and torn into tatters with bullets, tho top of Fisher's bond bolng shot off. Two of the con stables, Pottlgrow and Toland wcro found to bo wounded with bullots, Pot tlgrow reported seriously and Toland slightly. The wagon had a supply of whiskey. An Intelligent jury of in quest over tho bodlesof the slain failed to ascertain who did tho lino execution. Probably nothing will como of it; "lot her roll" Is tho motto of tho dispensary advocates. Fisher and Durham wcro prominent moun ,ain men of North Carolina, largo owners of property, and havo always doalt in moonshino whiskey. But this is scarcely a good reason for waylaying and killing them liko mad dogs. By the wuy bow tho constables wero hurt is u mystery, ns tho urms of the dead men wcro not discharged. Tho mules of the wagon were shot also. Fisher was well known in f.aureus. He lived at Try on, just across tho Carolina line. He was brave, generous and hospitable. Gover nor Evans is getting a good report from his constabulary. "Peace hath her victories as well as war." * * * The mobbing of Col. J, .1. Dargan at Kdgofiold was beneath contempt. This is an ago of free speech and froo thought. Besides it was cowardly, and except tho men wero drunk there ean be no apology. Col. Dargan is a gen tleman. Wo are not with him in his views on tho negro suffrago question, not at all. Besides It is altogether in discreet in Col. Dargan going ovor the Stato lecturing las views in tho tcctu of the public sentiment of tho Stato. This does not exeuso the vulgarity of the mob. Lot Col. Dargan talk: you arc not bound to hoar him. ?"?? Upon the 80Called conservatives in South Carolina devolves tho keeping alivo tho sacred llame of-pure unadul terated democracy. They may bo few in the State?-certainly not overwhelm ing in Laurons. "The fewer men, tho greater share of honor." Let these be organized and stand together, tako counsel ono of an other, chooso their loaders, sot up their standards and keep them unfurled and waving. * # On Wednesday last the 20th inst. tho Kentucky Democracy mot in Conven tion to nominate a Governor, erect plat form, and nominate other candidates. Cleveland and Carlisle were endorsed with a first-class democratic yell, tho silver craze got its deatli knell and sound money declared the money of tho democratic party. Hardin a free silver man was nominated for Governor On account of great personal popularity in South-Western Kentucky the stronghold of the Kentucky democracy. *** Samuel Johnson an Englishman who had a contempt for the Scotch visited In that country and twitted them upon their oat-mcaldiet, saying: In England our horses eat oats. The Scotsman retorted: Yes and In England aro to be found the best horses and in Scot land tho best men. And now the bluegrass menof Kentucky are pluming themselves upon their men as well as their horses. From tho way Carlisle and Cleveland are sustained out there there would seem to be something In the diet. * * * These constables who h avo had to bow down and bog the pardon of tho U.' S. Court and go to jail are to be pitied.? They aro tho poor men. They as suredly acted upon the assurance of porsons high in authority. The Gov ernor could not have ad vised them? he is a lawyer?tho Attorney General nor his ablo assistant could have done so, for thoy pass for lawyers. Now who wore tho wise acres that led theso poor constables, into this fools paradise; assistant counsel? A MARTYR -to - INDIGESTION Cur?

"thou nrt-llod to brutish beasts." * * * Tho suit brought by Murphy, Furrow and Logaro is against John Gury Evans, D. H. Tompklns, Jarnos M. Norton and Frank M.
