[Special to News and Courier.1
COLVMBIA, September 1.-There
no doubt general rejoicing all over tl

there are no evidences of dissatisfactic
The conservatives have been defeate
and like sensible men, have gone homr
They think that they have successful
broken the back of Tillmanism in Sou
Carolina, and that by judicious ai
Democratic politics they will carry tl
State two years hence against Tillma
ism. The conservatives will hard
wait until five months before the p
mary next time before they begin thi
fight. As Chairman Dibble express
it before leaving the city, the fig
ought to be kept right up, but alwa
within the bounds of the Democrai
party, and whenever tbey went into
fight to abide by the result.
If, as it seems probable, there shou
be a Third party movement in Sou
Carolina the Conservatives will in x
way be responsible for its appearant
During the final conferences of tl
Conservrtive committee it was su
gested that an address be issued war
ing true Democrats against the spirit
Third partyism: They thought it bei
however, to say nothing under the c
cumstances. Chairman Dibble, 11:
chairman Irby, had beard that the
was,o be a convention here to non
nate Weaver electors. There is no o:
here who seems to know anythix
about the movement. Assistant edit
Bowden, who is a leading Third par
man, does not appear to know anythir
about the matter.
There is about as much danger fro
the Republicans, although they e
pected the Conservatives to take the
defeat very much harder than the
have done. There is some talk of ru
ning Judge Melton for Governor. I
is modest about the insinuation at
does not yet think it time to talk abo
a matter so very doubtful.
A LIQUOR MAN TALKS TREASON.
This morning I had a talk with
prominent liquor dealer, and here is t)
way he expressed himself: "Had
known what I now do I would ha
voted for prohibition. I think it won
have been best to have given the pi
hibitioists their own way. Let the
give the State two years' experiet*
and then I think everyone will be s
isnfed and.glad egough to go back
the old practice aind let people do
they want to. I will not be a bit su
prised to see a full Republican tick
out in the field at the general electio
It is time that the Democracy be sho
that it has no right to undertake
hold such elections. It is not a Den
cratic idea, and I believe that good m<
with Republican ideas would kuit
about as well; as prohibition." T2
spokesmen has been one of the staunc
est Democrats in the State.
TO TABULATE THE VOTE.
Chairman Irby and his private seci
tary have gone to Laurens. Chairma
Dibble has gone to his home in Orang

BOWDEN TALKS STRAIGHT.
Preparations Being Made to Put Out a
Third Party Electoral Ticket.
[Columbia Register.]
The often-predicted and long-ex
pected Third party electoral ticket in
South Carolina will soon become a
reality. The man who will lead the
movement, or at least its inception, is
J. W. Bowden, the managing editor
of the Cotton Plant, and the author of
the famous anti-Cleveland editorial in,
that paper, published after the nomi
nation of the standard-bearer of the
National Democrasy. Mr. Bowden for
many months has been the leader of
the "movement" in the State, but it
was hoped that he would not antag
onize the Democracy, as untold com
plications will arise thereby.
"Yes," said Mr. Bowden in reply to
a question from a reporter yesterday
afternoon, "we have gone actively to
work, and by the first of October a
Weaver and Field electoral ticket will
be duly in the field-probably before."
"How will they be nominated?" he
was asked.
"I have received several letters ad
vising the convention system, but do
not favor it, as it entails too much ex
pense. But they will certainly be in
the field by that time; you can be as
sured of that fact." -
"Will you run a State ticket?"
"No; we will take no hand whatever
in the State and . Congressional
contests, and iindividually we will
favor the election of Governor Till
man and the Reform Congressional
candidates, and will vote for them.
We are consistent in this, too. Gov
ernor Tillman stands on our platform
in State affairs, as does the Reform Con
gressmen, and we are perfectly con
sistent in voting for them. We pro
pose supporting men on the national
ticket who likewise support our prin
ciples-that is all there is In it."
"In the race you certainly do not
expect your ticket to be successful?"
"That is not the question. We are
fighting for principles. Nevertheless,
the Third party is much stronger than
many imagine; and it will surprise the
politicians, judging from the temper
of the resolutions of the March conven
tions. Even Third party men do not
realize its full strength. I believe
there are 30,000 Third party supporters
in the State to-day. We are going to
work organizing at once, and you will
see that the country people will flock
to our support when the battle cry is
raised."
"What kind of campaign will you
inaugurate?"
"This is not decided. Weaver is
coming to South Carolina soon and
will stump the State in our interest.
When he will come and where he will
speak we do not know yet." - We do
not expect Watson over, but feel as
sured he could do some excellent work.
The general plan of our campaign is
undecided."
What stand the Cotton Plant will
occupy is a matter of much interest.
Bowden, an announced Third partyite,
cannot write Democratic editorials, and
tokes, a staunch Democrat, cannot
endorse the utterances of his subordi
nate. From the present outlook, some
body must step down and out. Which
will it be? An interesting fact con
nected with the case is that the Cotton
Plant is the only Alliance~official organ
in the United States that is supporting
Clev.land.
Mr. Bowden seemed very much in
earnest as to his utterances and was
very careful in his statements. It is a
well-known fact that he has lately or
ganized Third party clubs in various
places, and ther are several in full
bloomi throughout the State. There
are politicians in different sections who
have been waiting for the call to join
the movement, and this announce
ment that a ticket for electors will be
put in the field seems the battle cry.
In further conversation he said that1
the Third party agitation was started
for the sake of unity in the ranks, and
not primarily with a hope of success.
He says that he expects nothing but
warfare from the present Reform lead
ers and believes that Governor Till
man will lead the fight upon them.
They look for help from nobody who
took a prominent part in nominating
candidates in the late primaries.
Death of George Winlam Curtis.
NEw YoBX, August 31.-H:on. Geo.
W. Curtis died at his home at Living -
ton, Staten Island, to-day.
He was conscious to the end and
suffered no pain. Dr. Frank G. Curtis,
his son, was in attendance, and Mrs.
and Miss Curtis were present.
The nature of his disease has never
been determined. It was announced
some time ago that he was suffering
from a cancer in the stomach, but the
physicians who attended him could
not agree that the disease was cancer
ous in its nature and it was the opin
ion of a number of them that he suf
fered from some abnormal growth on
the abdomen which became very
large. It is understood that there will
be an autopsy.
A SKETCh OF BIS LIFE.
George William Curtis was born in
Prvidence, B. I., February 24, 1824.
After attending school at Jamaica
Plain, Mass., he removed to New
York with his father in 1839, and for a
year was a clerk in a store in that city.
In 1842, with his elder brother, he
joined the community of Brook Farm,
where he worked as a farm laborer for
eighteen months. Then he tried farm
lie for the same length of time near~
Concord, Mass.*
In 1846 Mr. urtis went abroad, liv
ing for some time in Italy and Ger
many, traveling in Egypt and Syria.
In 1850 he returned home and took a
position on the editorial staff of the
New York Tribune. He was also one
of the editors of the first series of "Put
nam's Monthly" from 1852 till it died.
In 1853 Mr. Curtis began in "Har
per's Monthly" the series of papers en
titled, "The Editor's Easy Chair," and
in the same year entered the lecture
field, where he won immediate suc
cess.
He also speedily gained great repu
tation as a popular orator, and -in the
presidential canvass-of 1856 spoke in
behalf of the Republican candidates.
Soon after the establishment of
"Harper's Weekly," in 1857, he became
its chief editorial writer, a position he
held until his death.
Mr. Curtis was several times a dele
gate to National Republican conven
tions, and was a member of the con
stitutional convention of New York,
and was chairman of the committee
on education. He declined the Consul
generalship to Egypt, tendered by
President Lincoln.
Mr. Curtis was a strong advocs.te of
civil service reform, and in this field
was easily champion. He declined the
mission to Germany, offered by Presi
ident Hayes, and also declined to name
any foreign mission he might like to
fill. In 1884 Mr. Curtis was chairman
of an Independent Republican conven
tion held in New York to protest
against the nomination of Mr. Blaine
for President, and since then he has
never been a stalwart Republican. He
supported Mr. Cleveland in 1884 and
has been a Democrat in national poli
ties ever since. -

- Proposes to Capture a Live Whale.
LNew Bedford (Mass) Mercury.]
Capt. Amos Chapman, of Boston,
but formerly of Provincetown, has ar
rived on the cape and is shaping a crew
of old experienced whalemen for a new
and novel voyage-to capture a live
sperm whale, to be taken to the world's
fair at Chicago.
In an interview with the captain he
states: "I do not intend to make
known my mode of procedure, but I
know I'shall succeed if I can find my
whale. My crew are all picked men,
and every one of them has been en
gaged in the business and can be de
pended on. Whales are reported
plentyin latitude 38- degs. 30 min.,
longitude 71 degs., by Captain Durham,
who has just returned with a full cargo
of oil, and for that place I shall shape
my course.
"I do not propose to take one of the
largest. A fifty or sixty foot whale
will answer my purpose. I have the
plans all drawn for a large tank, in
which the whale will be placed and
towed by steamer up the St. Lawrence
and through'the lakes to Chicago. I
have everything prepared to take the
whale and bring him into port all
right.
"All I want now is to get a suitable
vessel. When that is obtained a few
days will see me off .for the -grounds,
and if I find the whale, I expect to be
back by the last 6f September. I .can
keep my whale in the harbor here
while my tank Is building, and in thse
spring start for Chicago. Yes, I know
it is quite an undertaking, but I also
know that I have a dead sure thing."
Probably Right.
'What awakens these ecstatic pangs?'
sighed young Mr. Snippy, as he leaned
over the veranda balustrade and turned
his face with its fair young mustache
towards the moon.
"I do not know," replied Miss Yorker,
briskly, "but I believe that insufficient
nourishment, coupled with the habit of
lunching on pie, is very frequently
responsible."
.Making It Mutual.
Mr. Huchleberry: "No one admires
me."
Miss Wallfiower: "No one admires
me, either."
Mr. Huckleberry: "We had better
organize a mutual admiration society.
I admire your eyes. What do you ad
mire about me?"
Miss Wallflower: "Your golid taste."

The Sun Cholera Mixture.
[From the Journal of Commerce.1
More than twenty years ago, when
t was found that prevention of cholera
was easier than a cure, a prescription
rawn up by eminent doctors was pub
ished in the Sun, and it took the
iame of the Sun cholera medicine.
Our contemporary never lent its
2ame to a better article. We have
een it in constant use for nearly two
score years, and found it to be the best
-emedy for looseness -of the bowels
er yet devised.
No one who has this by him, and
~akes it in time, will ever have the
hJolera.
We commend it to all our friends.
Even when no cholera.is anticipated,
t is an excellent remedy for ordinary
ummer complaints, colic, diarrhcea,
ysentery, &c.
Take equal parts. of tincture of
~ayenne pepper, tincture of .opium,
~incture of rhubarb, essence of pepper
int, and spirits of camphor. Mix
ell. Dose, 15 to 30 drops in a little
~old water, according to age and vio
ence of symptoms, repeated every fif

texture, and its combinations with

perimenting with the material they
reate some new style to attract atten

the value of the new material. V these

so beautiful or unique as to cause a sen

WHAT IS CHOLERA?
Wherein It Differs Prom Many Other Corn
ta@ious Diseases.
tNew York Herald.]
The period of incubation of the dis.
ease is an almost certain guarantee of
safety. Varying as it does from- twen
ty-four hours to three days, it makes it
certain that no infected person can
reach this country before active symp
toms have manifested themselves
Hence a primary case is certain
to develop before -a vessel has -
reached quarantine. Secondary cases,
those contracted on the vessel
often develop before the vessel:_
reaches port, and it is rot impossible-_
that even tertiary cases would be ls
coverable by the health officer. Once
the presence of the contagion were
discovered strict quarantine measures
would, of course, be adopted. The pa-.
tients would be isolated and the ship -w
fumigated.
Cholera is essentially different from
many other -contagious diseases in
that infection is possi6le only.when_
the disease germ is communicated to
the stomach of the person exposed. r
have had a child suffering fromAsiatic
cholera in my arms and ran no risk, r.
inasmuch as I took proper precautions.
The mere presence of an Infected -per
son in a comniunity does not directije
endanger those in the vicinity. If the =
disease germ does not somehow or,
other find its way to the stomach they .f
run no risk. The trouble is that there
are so many ways in which the germ
may be taken into the stomach It
may find its way there by meansof
polluted water or food. A person may
touch his -hand to some infected ob- ..
ject and unwittingly convey the germ -
to his stomach whej eating. There
are various other ways of producing
infection, and only the greatest care
and thoughtfulness on the part of
those exposed can place them beyond
the reach of danger.
What steps have been taken to pre- .-,
vent a possible epidemic? None. We --
are always prepared'for such a' contin
gency. Our men and machinery are
always prepared for possible outbreaks ~
of Infectious diseases, and we are quite
ready to meet any emergency that >
may arise. Should any cases of chc :.
era be discovered on incoming vessels
the health officer would, of course, Iso
late the patients, and if necessary
quarantine the vesseL Now that th
probability of -such a contingency is
known, unusual precautions against
passing even possible cases of cholera
will naturally be adopted. The first
and invariable symptoms of the dls
ease is diarrhoa. The collapse which
follows it generally comes in. a day or,;
two, but certain diagno3is of & suspi
cious case can be made without wait
ing for the appearance of secondary
symptoms.
A CURIOUS PBOPHECY.
a Part of It Has Been Faned-Diaters 7
-to Comie.
. [Philadelphia Press.)]
In August, 1857, the Bavarian Alle
gemneine Zeltung printed a remarkable ~
prophecy, which had been made by an
old hermit many years before. In.It
the rise of Napoleon IIT. was clearly
outlined, as were also the Austro
Prussian and the Franco-Prussian
wars and the Commune of Parisi He
told how the death of Pope Pius would
occur in 1876 or 1877, and howit would -&
be followed by a Turco-Bussian :war,
both predictions being but slightly
wrong. He said that G.ermanywoud d
have three Emperors in one year be- - -
fore the end of the century, which we :~
know was verified to the letter in 1888.
He missed it one in the- number of
United States Presidents that were to
die by assassination, which was re
markably close-guessing, to say the
least.
Now for the future: The opening of
of the twentieth century is to see Man-~
battan Island and the whole of New
York City submerged in the waters of
the H'udson, East River and the Bay.
Cuba is to break in two, and part of it,
including a portion of the-city ofe Ha
vana, to sink beneath the waves.
Florida and lower California are-to
break loose from the mainland and ~
carry their loads of human freight to
the bottom of the sea.
The twenty-fifth is to be the last-of
the United States Presidents; and Ire- -
land is to be a kingdohm and England a
rep:blic by the end of the next cen
tury.
If this seer of seers is to tei relied
upon, t1ie United States will soon be
divided, and ,San Francisco, Salt Lake -
City (which he referred to as the "para
dise in the American desert"), New
Orleans, St. Louis, Washington and
Boston are to be usade capitals of the
six republics that are to be reared on
the ruins of thepresent United States. I
To return to Europe: The end of the
twentieth century will not find.elther
Italy or France upon the maps,-and
Berlin will have been totally destroyed
by an earthquake.
