ELBERT H. AULL, Proprietors. Wx. P. HUOSEAL, ELBERT H. AULL, EDITOR. NEWBERRY, S. C. WEINESDAY. AUGUST 16, 189Z. We notice from the published state ments of the business of the Dispensary that the total amount of money spent for stock and supplies is only about $8S,000. The Herald and News some time ago stated that the outlay to be gin business with would be possibly over $200,000. This statement was made upon information furnished by Commissioner Traxler. It may be that he was only talking through his hat. He told us that one purchase of one brand of liquor alone was 54),0) gallons which amounted to nearly $106,000. That the outlay for glass ware alone would be $25,000. In his estimat; & the appropriation by the Legislature of $50,000 would be ex haustedin fitting up the establishment. The reader can easily see from these figures how the estimate was easily reached, that the State would have Invested something like z200,0 or $300,000 to begin business with. Only two items mentioned reached $200,000 and, over. Then there were the wines, the corn whiskey, brandies and beer which it was thought would amount to as much more. - It was no intention on our part to misrepresent the amount to be invested In the business, but only to give our readers, on what we presumed was good authority, some idea of the busi ness in which they were engaged. According to the published state ment the total amount invested in whiskeys and wines is only $S0,915.6S. The totaexpense account is put down at$20,614.78. The amount sold to all the County Dispensaries is $45,534.14. The receipts from vot ual sales by the U,Jfnties cannot yet be given. There fore it cannot 1e told yet how the busi nes was for the first month as to net results. The Observer and the Press and Rv porter and Mr. Wilson have all been wasting columns of type and fountains of ink to find the cause of Mr. Mower's election in the recent primary in this county. The discussion is a profitless one, but then th,ey might be engaged in much worse thins, and as long as the subject keeps up its present pleas ant aspect it can certainly do no harm. We rather enjoy the labored arguments on both sides to show why Mr. Mower was elected. The Herald and News is very much like the lawyer we once heard of who was asking a continuance of the case against his client. He said he had fifty reasons why the case should be put off, and all of them good ones, but he thought the statement of one would besuffieient tM show his honor why the case should he continued. At any rate he w ould first state this one, and if It was not thought sufticient, then he could take up the other forty-nine. His first and main reason was that his client, the defendant, was dead. It was not deemed necessary to state the other forty-nine. Now The Herald anid News has about fift.y reasons why Mr. Mower was elected, but we think the statement of one will be sufficient to convince any one who can be con vinced: He got more votes than Dr. Wyche. Mr. Cleveland has left Washington and returned to his summer home at Buzzard's Bay. He has turned the responsibility over to Congress of tak ing action on the financial question. No more federal appointments 'will be made until something is done on the financial question. The President does not want the Congressmen to have their minds disturbed by ap pointments until some Jegislation is had for the relief of the country. So he gets out of their way and will de vote himself to rest and outdoor exer cise. He says his days' doing will be devoid of interest and he does not care to be bothered with newspaper corres pondents. We present this week Mr. Cleveland's message to Congress. It is short, clear and strong, and to the point. The President deals exclusively with the question of finance which is proper, as Itiis the consideration of this question which has brought Congress together In extraordinary session. We hope that every one will read this message closely and study it carefully. Whether you agree with Mr. Clev-eland or not, read his views and notice his reasons and decide on the merits of his argu ments without prejudice. The Washington correspondent of the Atlanta Constitution says: "Sena tor Irby is here getting up affidavits to prove that Capt. Jim Tillman, and not he, filed the famous Craddock dispatch to the Augusta Chronicle last March." We thought Senator Irby was in Washington filling his seat in the Sen ate and giving his attention to the study of the great financial question for the consideration of which the ex tra Session of Congress was called. The Greenville News thinks if there is a statesman in either branch of Con gress it is time for him to show him self and make the fact known. To this we heartily agree. The country was never in greater need of a staitesmian than at the present time. The oppor tunity now presents itself for some man to make a name and a fame for himself, and at the same time serve his country in the time of her great need. Let him come forth. There is talk of Governor Tillman being a candidate for re-election, with .John Gary Evans for Lieutenant Gov ernor, so that when Governor Tillman goes to the United States Senate Mr. Evans can be in the Governor's chair. What is to become of Lieutenant Gov ernor Gary? Is he to be satisfied with having occupied his pre'sent position for two terms. Who will be silver-tongued orators In Congress? Advocar.es of free coinage nr ihnse for nonditional repeal. Sejator Irby is holding investigations and taking evidence to get up a reply to Mr. Jim Tillman. When all the evidence is in possibly the people will be given some very valuable and sur prising information. There is nothing like having a little diversion every now and then. Albert W. Anderson has been pro ioted from the agency of the Port Royal and Western Carolina Railroad at Greenville to the superintendency of the same road. He is a young man and a native of Laurens. He pos esses strong qualifications for his new position. CATASTROPHE AT CLEMSON. Sudden Collipse of the Barracks Bridge, While Crowded with Students-The Cas ualitles Not Fatal Nor Very Serious. [Special to The News and Courier.] CoLUMBIA, August 11.-News has been received here of an accident at lemson College to-day. There is no Jefinite information as to the nature )f the trouble. Governor Tillman re .eived a telegram from his son stating that there bad been an accident, a balcony had fallen in and students had been Injured, and that he was unhurt. No further information has been re ceived here up to this time. COLUMBIA, August 11.-A telegram to Secretary of State Tindal, received it 9.52 p. . says: "Your son was nly slightly burt by the falling of the barracks bridge. E. B. Craighead." Another telegram to Mr. D. H. rompkins says that Mr. Sam Carter bas been painfully but not seriously injured. There is a bridge, about twen ty feet long, running from the main ;round to the entrance to the dormi tories. It is the height of tne base men floor, which is used for cooking and mess hall. The dormitory build ing is in an excavation and the bridge rosses the opening. The bridge could ot have held the corps of cadets, who were probably going into quarters. PENDLETON, August 11.-The bar racks bridge gave way with some fifty tudents on it. The following are not seriously hurt: J. C. Bradley, J. C. Jowers, W. S. Reynolds, J. C. Backin, P. J. Pearman, A.

[Special to The Herald and News.] CLEMSON COLLEGE, August 12. lhe causes that led to the accident here briefly stated are as follows: On the evening of thxe eleventh the boys were ill collected on the parade grounds, ery near the Dormitory, when rain, iuddenly began to fall. The boys were llowed to break ranks, and upon rush ug and crowding upon the gangway which leads from one side of a hill into :e second floor of the Dormitory, be 3ame engaged in a general scramble to get in, when those in the lead blocked the door-way, as they thought in inno ent sport. This caused a tremendous pressure from one hundred or more strong boys against a side wall of the Dormitory at the entrance, together with a still greater scramble from those behind, which unsettled the gangway frrom its supports r it went down with one hundred an fifty boys upon it. Some were hurt more by falling upon each other than from any other cause. The supports beneath the gang way would have sustained almost any weight directly upon it, certainly to the extent of from fifty to seventy-five thousand pounds, but was not suffi eiently braced together to stand such a terrific jostle as the boys, in their sport, gave it. The boys who were hurt are being well and tenderly cared for, and uone of them are thought to be fatally injured. ALAN JOHESTONE. STATEMENT BY PRESIDENT CRAIG HEAD. .[Special to The State.] CLEMSON COLLEGE, August 12.-I telegraphed you last night in regard to the serious accident which occurred here yesterday about 6 p. m. The faculty were in session when some one ran in announcing that the boys were fighting. I ran out and found that the gangway or viaduct leading from the ground outside to the second story of the dormitory had been crowded witn, boys running in to escape from the rain, and that this viaduct had given way, precipitating perhaps a hundred boys, right and left. Some three or four were caught under the falling timbers, but had been rescued by the timo I reached the spot. The infor mation wired you last night was sub stantially correct. [Here follows a list of boys slightly injured, similar to above.-:-ED H. & N.1 The following boys are seriously but not fatally injured-so our physicians confidently believe: WV.S. Yoe, Pegues, Holstein, Carter, White, WVhitmian, Leichester, Vogel, Goodson, Mahafrey. The boys are doing well. A word in regard to the gangway. It was an after-thought, so 1 learn, and not in the architect's original plan. It was constructed for convenience, and it gave way because the heavy timbers running from the ground to the wim dows were not braced up by iron bars and this sprang apart where heavy pressure was brought upon them. The flooring gave way, and the t>rick con structed pillars gave way, and hence the whole passage crowded with boys went tumbling down. I can in no way censure the students. It is just, however, to say that two or tree students, when they saw the boys running from the rain, thoughtlessly, playing and good naturedly, stood in the doorway and held the othter boys back, thus forcing a great jam and tremendous pressure on this part. of the passage. I bave written in great haste. Seven doctors were on the spot within an hour of the occurrence. The students carried their wounded comrades to the infirmaryand showed themselves brave and manly and sympathetic. The wounded, let parents rest as sureI, shall have every needed atten tion, I have endeavored to state all the facts. E. B. CRAIGHEAD. Cleveland Barned Ia EffBgy.. G EORG ETOWN, Texas, August 14.

Senator Irby Investigating the "Craddock' Letter-It All Look eYziy Queer. (Washington Post, August 11.] The dispute between Senator Irby, of South Carolina, and J. H. Tillman, a newspaper correspondent of the same State, over the authorship of a certain important political dispatch that ap peared in the Augusta Chronicle in March last, has stirred up a good deal of feeling, as appears from a telegram in yesterday's Post, which detailed a personal encounter between Tillman and Editor Shelton, of the Columbia Register. The whole matter has been exceedingly annoying to Senator Irby, bec%use it tended to place him, as be asserts, in a false and ridiculous atti tude, and yesterday. he took steps to ettle at once and forever the real authorship of the telegram to the Geor gia newspaper. Tillman's version was that he wrote the story, but fearing it might cause trouble, informed Senator Irby that be bad decided not to send it to his paper. Tillman. further charged that the Sena tor, acting on his own motion and without Tillman's knowledge or con sent, subsequently filed the dispatch in the oice of tb. \Vestern Union Tele graph Company in Washington. This the Senator emphatically denied in toto. At the request of Senator Irby there gathered yesterday Senator Jones, of Arkansas; Congressman Latimer, Strait and McLaurin, of South Caro lina; Mr. M. Marean, manager of the Western Union Telegraph Company; Mr. P. A. Simpson, receiving clerk of that company; Mr. J. Y. Jones, of Abbeville, S. C.; Capt. J. M. Woddell, of the same State, and two stenogra phers. Mr. Marean had been directed by the editor of the Chronicle to peruit Senator Irby to examine the dispatches of March 11, with a view to deciding their authorship. A lengthy question ing of the telegraph officials was had. The original manuscript signed by J. H. Tillman, with a private note to the editor to sign "Craddock" (Tilimau's newspaper name) was exhibited. The Btatements of both Mr. Marean and Mr. Simpson were positive on the point that the writing was Tillman's. Both were familiar. therewith, and other telegrams of the same date were com pared to prove the identity of hand writing. The next step in the examination was to show that neither Senator Irby nor anyone authorized by him filed the message. On this point the receiving clerk stated that while he was not ab olutely sure that Mr. Tillman filed it, it must have been sent in by that gen tleman. It came in, he said, through the "regular channel," the same chan nel as did all the other Craddock dis patehes. It Senator Iroy or anyone else had brought it, their right to do so would have been questioned. In con lusion Mr. Simpson states that he was positive that Senator Irby had not sent i the dispatch, and that it was not tendered by anyone representing him. In the dispatch published in The Post yesterday morning, Mr. W. J. Shelton, of the Columbia Register, is redited with confessing to 'illman that the "Craddock" letter was dictated to Tighe, his secretary, by Senator frby; that Tigbe translated his steno graphic notes to Shelton, and that the ispatch was eventually filed by Sena tor Irby and his secretary. The follow ing dispatch was received last night by Senator Irby, and will explain itself: AIEEN, S. C., August 10.--To J. L. M. Irby, National Hotel, Washington: I made no such statement as appears in The State and Augusta Chronicle to lay. To-morrow's paper and letter will explain. W. J.. SHELTON. THE FINANCIAL QUESTION. Why Silver Has Declined in Valne--Purely a Question of Supply and Demand. To the Editor of The Herald and News:-Our free silver fanatics would have us believe that the chief, if not the only cause, for the decline in the price of silver, is to be found in its de monetization, or other legislation ad verse to it, by the various leading comn muercial nations. Those gentlemen put the cart before the horse, to use a homely but apt expression. Instead of such legislation being the cause of decline in prices, it was the decline and continual variations in prices that have eused the govern ments one after an other to demonetize or otherwise legis late against silver. Of course the de monetization, or stoppage of the coin age of silver, by the leading commercial nations, exce.pt the United States, may have, and doubtless did to some extent, indirectly influence ther price by dimin ishing the demand for it. But the one chief and essential cause of the con tinual and rapid decline in the price of silver, until it is now worth in the markets of the world little more than half whbat it was twenty years ago, has been the extraordinary increase in the production during this per.iod. For instance, in 1873, the year the United States suspended the al ready long since obsolete law for the coinage of silver dollars, the world's prduction of silver was only 63,267,000 tine ounices. And this was already a very large increas4e "ver a few years previous, for in 18;9 the production was only 43,700,000 tine otices. Here then was an mewresse of 50) per 'enit. ini only four y ea rs. A t this t ime, i. e., in 1873, the i.ilver in our silver dollar, supposing there niad twenu any in ex istence, was w"rth 1(33 eenuts, so of ourse none we-re tt Iig eoinedl, for the l-sufficient reasoni I hat silver was more valuable in thet arts than as money. Nor, made ed, had any of these now so miuch talked of "dollars of our daddies" been coined for sixty-eight years, that is, since Thomas Jeff'erson, the recognIzed father of the Democ cratic party, had in 180.5 arbitrarily suspended their coinage because they were then, as now, driving gold out of the country. The legal ratio between gold and silver at that time, he it re membered, was 1 to 15 in the United States. In 1834, during the presidency of Andrew Jackson, a democratic Con gress cangedtis ratio to 1 to 16, think ing thereby to bring both metals into use again. But thbis proved to be too high, making silver the dearer metal, so, of course, none was coined, and gold continued de facto the standard. In 185.3 still another Democratie Con gress actually adopted the gold standard and made silver only a subsidiary ci, a legol teorier for only $5. So we see that these "'dol1ars of our daddics," now so mneh wept over by Senator Stewart, and for which the brave gov ernor of (olorado is going to wade "bridle deep," in blood, are ini reality only a muyh, somiething conjured up in their fertile imaginations for e+fe.ct on their ignorant dupes, our Southern and Westeru alli4aee. From ]S73 onward, and up to the present, the annual increa-e in the production of silver has been rapid, and the decline in price has about ke'pt pace with this increase, in spite of the Bland-Allison bill in I878, and the Sherman bill in 1890 to bolster it up., In 1888 the world's product of silver was 108,888,000 tine ounces; and the value of the silver in a dollar hard de clined to 72 7-10 cents instead of 103 cents as in 1873. In 1891 the product was 140,86.5,000 fiue ounces, and the value of silver in a dollar came under 70 cents. In 1892 the product of silver is estimated at 152,0000,000 fine ounces, and the value of the dollar came down to 64 to 65 cer.ts. Since the suspension of free coinage in India in May last it has gone still lower, to about 54 cents for the dollar, but this very likely in part as the result of panic, which it will recover. We see then that the price of silver has declined in the world's market in proportion as the supply has increased, an I me.ay ad a the deand has de creased, just as woulmt )e the case with any otber article, corn, or wheat, or potatoes, or cotton, for instance. It is purely a question of supply and de main< with silver as w ith any other arti cle. (3overnment can no more fix the market price of an ounce of silver than it can that of a bushel of corn or pota toes. If the supply is great, enormous, as we see it has been, the price is naturally and inevitably lower, in spite of artificial efforts to bolster it up. During this period of twenty years, since 1873, the world's product of gold has also increased considerably, but more regularly and not at all at the enormous rate that silver has. Conse quently it has retained its normal value. For instance, in 1873 the pro duct was 4.64',000 fine ounces. In 1888 it was 5,333.00) fine ounces; and in 1892 it was 6,323,000 fine ounces. These figures leave no ground for the pre tense of the silverites that gold has in creased in value instead ot silver de preciating, and ought, it seems to me, to make it clear to any logical reason ing mind why silver has so rapidly de clined, and why gold has remained approximately stationary. It has been the question of supply and demand in the once case as in the other. They show also the superiority of gold over silver as a standard and measure of value, and why all the leading com mercial nations, except the United States, have either demonetized silver, using it only as a subsidiary coin, or have stopped its coinage, raking gold alone the standard. It may also interest some of your readers to know that about two-fifths or forty per cent. of this enormous annual product of silver was found in the United States, chiefly in Colorado, Montana and Nevada, and the other sixty per cent. in other countries. The proportion of gold found in the United States is not quite so great. The pur pose of the Sherman law in fixing the amount of silver to be purchased at 4,500,000 ounces per mouth, or 54,000, 000 per annum, was about to consume the product of the silver mines in the United States, thinking thus to satisfy the greedy silver barons. But this only had the effect of whetting their appet,tes for still more illicit gain. CIvIs. See the World's Fair for Fifteen Cents.

Mason, E-q, Bangor, Maine, Gen'I Agent for Eastern Maine, Eq'ditable Lifb Assurance Society. Dear Sir: Twenty years ago I made an in ves'ment whicb has just matured. Notwithstanding the fact that it was an absolutely safe and conserv ative investment, I find that for the whole twenty years it has yielded me interest at the rate of over sir per cent. per arnnum. In thbese times when it is so bard to find invest ments wbicb are absolutely secure and at the same time yield a fair rat'e of interest, I should be a very unreasonable man if I were not sat isfied with this return. But this is not all. In consider ation of the money invested during the last twenty years, without any additional payment on my part, one of the strongest financial insti tutions of the world has guaranteed to pay my family in the event of my death, $2,000. Thbis insurance. extending over so long a period, has a large money value, and when that value is taken into considera tion, in addit:on to the cash return stated below, it is not to be won dered at that I amr astonished at the~ result. You have asked my opinion, and I have given it for the benefit of others, who will follow my example if they know what is good for them. Besides an offer of $3,237 34 in cash, I was given the choice of va rious other methods of settlement. For example, instead of taking cash I might have surrendered my policy for $6,932 00 of paid up assurance; or for an annuity which would have vielded me an income of 24755 for the rest of my life.
