The Laurens Advertiser $1.00 per Year in Advance. Oil The Way To The Opera Thon hud been u long sllenco be tween tlte man and girl in tbo car riage. It suddenly struck him that she had scarcely spoken save in tUOOOSyl bles since sbo accepted bis offer of marriage. . Ho scanned her hulf-avcilcd face moro closely. Of COUrBO, tho diu of the street was not favorable to ron versation, but why was she bo exces sively pale? Was it merely the cold gleuiu of the electric lights? Again he looked at her, and hesitated; and then laid bin band gently on her arm. " Mildred!--" A childish scream of terror from the street broke in, followed by deeper voices and the vague rush of a gath ering crowd, Mildred Allerton canre out of her abstraction with a Htart. 44 What was that? What has hap pened?" she exclaimed. llayden threw up tho window and leaned out. The carnage had stopped. Two or three people were carrying something to the pavement, something helpless and inert, like a dead weight. 44 What's the matter?" he asked. 44 You've run over a man," some body said roughly. 44 It wasn't my fault, sir," put, in the coachman. 44 The little girl run right in front of us, an' he after her. We were on thoui before 1 could pull up." Miss Allerton gathered her wraps about her. 44 Will you open tbo dooi?" she said to her companion. 44 My dear Mildred," he protested, 44 I do think that all that is necessary 44 Thanks. I would rather go my self." And she laid her band on the door. Seeing that sbo was determined, he unwillingly helped her out. The crowd tin ned to utarc at her. 44 Whs the little girl hurt, loo?" she naked. 44 No, miss, she ain't, only him. He puilcd her right out from under the bosses' hoofs alore, they hit him. That's him over there with the doctor, see?" Miss Allerton hesitated, then went on, llayden following in irritated si lence. A while (lower fell from her dress, showing crimson as soon as it touched the pavement. 44 Come away," said llayden, stop ping short in angry protest. 44 I re fuse to countenance this folly." She paid no attention, hut advanced toward the two figures under the elec tric light, one lying motionless, the other kneeling beside him. As she looked down into the while upturned face, her own grew almost as pale and her clasped hands trembled. But with a quloK breath bIic regained her self-control. 44 1 hope ho is not badly hurt?" she said. . 44 Ho is dying"?tho brusque old doctor checked himself. Women were liable to scream or faint. 44 That is, unless?" He gave her a quick ap praising look. 44 Do you know him?" 44 Yes." She came closer. 44 I was in Hie carriage. And 1 saw ? the blood"?with a shudder. 44 Only a little cut," hastily inter posed tho doctor, fearful of her break ing down. 44 it's his head I'm afraid of. Nothing rouses him." 44 May I try?" She knelt down be side him. 4* H'ual Can't do any harm, I sup pose," glancing around for the am bulance that had been summoned, She laid bei hand softly on the man's forehead and looked into his wide open, unseeing eyes. 44 t'arriek!" she pleaded. 44 oh, Carrlck, don't you know nie?Mildred?" The doctor, watching, gave a slavt. 44 I believe be. does know you," he said, pointing to a dicker of the rigid eyelids. 44 Speak to him again." '4 Mildredl" llayden came hurrying up, too impatient, to wait longer, At the sight of the prostrate figure a look of hatred Hashed from bis eyes. 44 MUdred,"< bo said again, imper atively, 44 tins is no place for you." 44 l.envo her alone," sharply In tempt ed the doctor. 44 The man's in a death stupor. If she can rouse him, let her." llayden scowled, but said no more. The doctor turned his back and bent over his patient again. Thoso fow seconds had wrought a wonderful change. The strained eyes bad grown soft as they gazed up at the girl's faco hovering above him like a vision out of a cloud of light! The time was not long past when that face had meant heaven upon earth to him. Then it had become a torment, tho very thought of which was agony. Now again it symbolized love and hope and happiness?all the sweet pos sibilities of life. And now?he was dying. Tho bitterness of it pierced oven through his dull apathy. His hps moved. 4> Dying!" They could just guess at his meaning. Thon his oyes closed. 44 Youug lady, oxcuse my bluntnoss," said the old doctor, 44 but if you have once been lovora, lit him fancy it is so still. Speak to him! House him. It's his one chance." She leaned ovor him again, her hands clasping hia closer. 44 You are not dying," she cried, 44 you will live, Carrick, for my sake; remembor!" His eyes unclosed again and n quiv er almost like tbo ghost of a smile passed over his lipn. 44 Thero'a tho ambulance!" Tho doctor sprang up with a sharp breath of relief. Simultaneously appeared a belated policeman who busied himself with ordering back the crowd. Tho doctor turned to Mildred Allerton. In spite of hi8 familiarity with such crises, he had been touched by this glimpse of romance. Perhaps, too, her girlish grace and beauty had its effect. 441 believe ho hai a chance," ho said hurriedly, 14 thanks to you. If " ?he hesitated, 44 If I can he of any use, here is my card." There was another rattle of wheels, a shout from the policeman, and thoy were gone. llayden stepped forward. He did uot intend to make a scene in public, und only tho hard lines of his mouth betrayed his inward anger. 44 Miss * Allerton," he said, ceremoniously, 44 you will he chilled in that thin wrap. I < t me tako you to the carriage." She tinned And went back with him through tho staring crowd. Neither spoke till the carriage was rein lied. 44 We shall he lAte for the opera," ho said coldly, as he helped her in. 44 I am not going to the opera," she answered. 4* Not going to tho oporfl" He spoke as if to An unreasonable child. 44 Shall wo drive home, then?" ?? X am going to tho.hoapital. I rib not trouble vou to go," che sold, icily. 4? To the hotpltaT?" Hie fuco grew white. " Surely you will not compro mise yourBulf so"?A auddeit pussiou broke through his hard self-restralut. He leaned close to her. Mildred, we will forget tonight's foUy.

She made no reply. Ho bowed and walked away, controlling his inward rage with new plans for tho future. The coachman gathered up his reins, j and the horses dashed forward. Tho few curious loiterers still remaiuiug turned to watch tho carriage outof sight and then drifted away. Nothing was loft of the brief drama which had changed the course of three lives but a crushed white liowor with hlood-staiued edges glimmering under the eluctric light. At the opera that night two seats were conspicuously vacant in tho bril liant throng. As the npplauso rang loudest over the diva's groat aria, a young girl stood by the door of a dim ly lighted hospital ward, looking up with happy eye? into tho face that smiled buck at her. 44 We've wool" uodded tho doctor with an exultant grasp of the band. 44 He'll pull through uow, never fuui l" CAMPAIGNING IN KANSAS. Rcmittlsceucea of the South Carolina Expedition in 185U Col. lMtt a Native of Green ville. Cap! Georgo W. Moore, of Clinton, S. C, who was a member of Gouorai A. C. Jones' company which went to Kansas Territory from Luurens County in I860 during the excitement over tho slavery question, writes the remisceu cos printed below of those oveuliul times. A former letter of Capl. Moore on the muh' topic appeared throe weeks ago in this paper and today's loiter continues the narrative. Capl Moore afterwards served in tho Confederacy with conspicuous gallantry: We remained at Camp I'almetto two or three wecke and then returned lo Kaueaa City, wberu we took a boat for Leaveuworlh, Tho boat had on board i he lirst division of Chicago settlers, about 76 strong, undor com mand Of Col. Harvey. As SOOU as General Jones discovered tills, he called his men to tho lower deck and told them to be ready for any emergency. Things looked squally for awhile, hut when wo at rived at Leavenworth we found men on hand to prevent the landing of these Chicago settlers. Tho latter made no attempt to laud ut this point and the Leavenworth meu on tho lookout boarded the boat aud examined their baggage. Thoy found a lot of Sharp lilies and cans of cartridges, the cartridges being concealed under tea. Harvey went back down tho river, but we learned that he afterwards landed in the. Territory with his men at a northern point, G?iug iutocamp at Leavenworth we found great oxcilcmout prevailing. While there we elecicd tho following additional lieuionants: I'. Y. H. Jones, lirst und G. W. Moore, second. After remaining at Leave iworth a few days, we took up our inarch lo Delaware City, six miles south on the Missouri river. Wo wore much pleas ed with Delaware and concluded to soldo there, the inhabitants offering many inducomouts, among thorn free lots lo i iiiid on. Duriug the month of August as election time approached excitement m both parties became in tense. We learned that General Lane hud forlilled Lawrence, occupying it with -1,000 mon nnd our friends on the border wero organizing a force sulli cient to c me with him. General Jones was invited lo attend a meeting held at riall City and when the day arrived he look a detachment of his men with him, the writer being a member of the party. I'iult City was twelve miles from our camp. Tho purposo of the meetiug was to provido horses and raise supplies and equipments and lo organize so as to act in concert with the Missourians who wore preparing for the campaign. Col. Pitt, a distinguished Missouriau, was conducting tho movement. He was a South Carolinian by birth, hav iug loft Greenville, S. C, at the ago of tlvu years. He had boeu a soldier in tho Mexican war. The arrangements having been perfected, wo left Platt City with six horaos and four men. When we reached a point five miles from the Missouri river we were in formed that it was dangerous to pro ceed further in that direction, as it was lale. There was a dense swamp five miles in length to pass through and a company of Pree S?ders was on the lookout for us. General Jones asked if wo would follow him. The answer was " yes," aud wo set out at a rapid pace, arriving at the river about dark. The ferry boat, being a steamer, was not allowed to run after dark and our boys in camp, knowing this, had em ployed some adventurers who ran an old flat boltomed boat after the re gular boats had tied up, to meet us and carry us to the Kansas shore. We hoarded this frail boat, men and horses, the rivor boiug 000 oi ?00 yards wide and ihe current very swift. Wo pulled up stream half a mile so as to be able Thc.?W<hV s Greatest.

When wo roached tho maiu currout 1 found that tho water was level with tho guuwalos of tho boat and that a little water was pouring in. No alarm was given aud not a mail spoke or a horso moved, which uo doubt saved us from going uudor. Arriving safely in camp, we commenc ed preparations to movo, and every thing being ready in about four days, we moved out to meol several hundred other men aud take up the march for Lecompton- On the tlrst day's march, after going into camp, we learned that several hundred men woro advanclug upon our cump and ouo hundred muu were called out to moet them, Oonoral .tonos in command. We soon dis covered that it was a false alarm. Re turning, wo lost one man, a Missouriau, who was accideutly shot. Wo sent his body back to Delaware for burial, und j as ho wus a poor mau, a purse of sevoral dollars was raised for tho fun eral expenses und the family. Next day we pushed cm to Lecomp ton, but arrived at tho rivor too late > to crobs, as there was only ouo little boat. Tho people of tho towu were in a state of great alarm and sent a runner to our camp all through tho night, say ing that the town would be attacked before moruing. licucral Jones be camo anuoyod by these appeals and told tho mcsseuger to go back and "Tell tho pcoplo to tight it they aie attacked." Next morning wo crossed tho river in to Lecompton and marched towards Lawrence, within tlve or six miles of that towu, where we went iuto camp agaiu. We seut a spy iuto tho town to tlnd out tho condition of aff lirs and iu the uight he reported that we would be attacked before morning, as they woro preparing then to advauce on us. Fortunately, there came up a toriilic wind and rain alorm, which blew down our tents and delayed thoir advance. As we had failed to receive the ex pected reinforcements, we fell back to Lecompton. We had not been there long before our scouts brought the news that Lane was advancing with a large body of men. Everything was excitement and men wore assigned their positions iu lino of battle. Gen eral Richardson rode up to General Jones, and asked him if he would take tho position in the ravine with his company. Ho replied: "Mont, assured ly, sir," aud turning, gave the com mand: ?? Forward, Laureus Volun teers I South Carolina never was whipped, by-" But we had not been in Hue long und waiting for our I enemy to get close enough to open the action, whon we heard the clattering of horses hoofs iu our rear. Looking around, wo saw a squad of United States cavalry coming at full speed, Thoy dashed up to*us and told us not lo lire a gun and then moved on to Lauo's line, stoppiug any furthor ad vance on his part. Capt. William Franks, of Laureus, referred to in my least letter, was a member of this cavalry squad. Line retraced his steps to Lawreuco aud we moved back to the town of Lecoinplon, where wo received the compliments of our commanders for piompland gallant bearing ou that occasion. Spondtng the uight at Lecomption, wo took up tho line of march to Dela waro City where wo stayod uutil after the elecliou, which took place iu October. Our parly carried tho elec liou and about the Oth of October wo set out for our own Slate. HK WA8 NO Sl'kakkr.? Wm.

An occasiou arose' however, whon the regular ora tors wore absent from a meeting, and tho crowd insisted on hearing from the candidate himself. Ho walked lo the frout aud bravely announced that he was no speaker, with considerable rep etition, and after a little haltiug pro ceeded to talk for three quarlors of an hour. Whon the mcotiug was over the candidate, had quite come to tho eon ? clusiou that ho was a speaker after all, and especially did ho feel bo when an old farmer camo up to him to say that, although a life-long Domocrat, he had decided as a result of what he had heard, to vote this time for tho Repub lican candidate. Before tho latter, iu his blushes, could stammer out a ru spouso, the farmer continued: ''What wo want as governor is honest men. You are <>uo. You said you were no , speaker.

To know Qoveruor Evans has bean to appreciate his ine qualities, his ?toiling honssty and his eminent qual ifications as a statesman and oltlsen. He curried this county by large major ities for governor aud sonator, and h* will carry It this year by a union larg er majority than over; Indeed, It might almost bo said that ho will receive the unanimous democratic vote of the county, ho great Is tho local Interest m his candidacy. His personal popular ity extondlug from Spartauburg Oounly as a basis. Is radiated all over the riedmont Bcctlon of the state and ia evory profession, trade and calling Qoveruor EvanB is looked upon as a splendid type of a South Carolinian. His Strength Is With All Classes. His friendship and aid have ever been extended to the large agricul tural Interwsts of tho state, and our largo and growing Industrial popula tion has come to regard him as a staunch and sincere friend. At the same time Uovomor Evans has novel been regarded as hostilo to capital and corporations In any sonse, and has many friends and supportors among those who have large Invest ments in cotton and other manufactur ing Industries. While there can hard ly bo uald to be any loglo In politics, Governor Evans Is nevertheless the loglual candidato to succeed MoLaurin, by reason of the vigorous and won derfully prophotlo fight be made ou the commercial statesman five years ago. Ho then said MoLaurin was a republican, and that gentleman has himself since proven the charge be yond a doubt. Governor Evans was not tho only prophet In that Hue. how ever, hut he was the only man who made a fight on MoLaurin thou who Is now a candidate before the people as his successor. Ho evidently knows a republican when he sees one, and thla la nome assurance, if any were needed, that his own floinooraoy is straight. Has Been Faithful to Evory Trust. Govornor Evans' oqulpment and Qualifications for the senatorshtp are undoubted, and his services to the peo ple of tho state eortainly give him a I claim upon their earnest consideration of his candidacy. He has ever been faithful to the trust reposed In him by the democrats of South Carolina, and retains to the utmost the respeot and confidence of those who know hltn. The very fact that he has held the support of those who were bis political associates in times when there were sharp lines drawn betwoen the faction al affiliations of our poople and has since the effacement of those lines drawn to himself the good will ana friendship of those who formerly op posed him, shows him to be a man who Is steadfast in character and emi nent In ability. He Is strongest where he Is best known, and Is backed by the support of the thickly populated Piedmont countlcB and ho is sure to be a formidable factor in the race. Tillman Hands Off. In view of numerous reports about this man and that man being "Till man's eaudldate" for the senate, a statement mado by Senator Tillman lu 1 'Washington recently may prove of in terest to those watching South Caro lina politics. "There is really no reason why I should mix up lu this raoe," said Sen ator Tillman, "nor do 1 Intend to take the slightest part in It one way or the other. It is true that before Bvaoe entered the race there was but one I candidate In the field, Representative Lntliner, who had not at one time op posed me. For this reason, thinking to hurt Representative LaUraer** chances for election, the report has been circulated that I was backing I.atlmor. It Is untrue to nay that I urn hacking any one oi the candidates. Now that Mr. Bvans has definitely an nounced his candidacy for the senate, there will bo two of my former sup porters In tho race. Another reason why I am not called upon to take a hand. "But It should be remembered that none of the candidates in the race are running for the senate against me. They are after the junior senatorshlp, and because In the past the other can didates?Mr. Elliott, Mr. Hemphill. Mr. Henderson and Mr. Johnstone?have been political opponeuts of mine does not seem to me to furnish either an excuse or a reason ior my meddling rn the game." The Worlds Greatest Fever Medicine.
