(News and Courier.) Sumter, August 4.-The picnic at which Tillman spoke today began as t pace and uutiy love feast, but at the end there was lots of ginger, and the Senator, who bad declared in his morning speech that the peo ple were getting along pretty well, and he would say nothing to raise old issues or revive old animosities, and protested against the heavy coats of "butter" that had been laid on him by Dr. H. 'T. Abbott, the Re form Senator from this county in 1890, in his introductory speech boldly asserted in the afternoon, in reply to a speech of Ropresentativo E. D. Smith, that he was no goody good peace and unity man, and that there had already been too much of that sort of thing. Apart from his introdcotory re marks in reference to the "bolaud ing and bopraising and buttering," he had received at Mr. Abbott's hands, and these were the most amusing of his speech, there was nothing very strong or bizarre in his speech, which was only forty min utes long. le descril-ed the condi tions prevailing in the trust-cursed and boss-ridden North, where wealth inconceivable is concentrated in the hands of a few and whore the people are fooled and suffor more than any where else. He ascribed this con dition to the decay of Americanism in the North, and the conquest of that section by the foreign element that is corrupt and servile, and that, soll ing its votes, lends itself readly to the uses of the money power and bosses who seek to establish an in dustrial slavery. The pe'plo there are not free, and the men sent to Congress are the puppots and tools of the bosses. Under Republican rule not even the representatives from the South are froe, for with Reed Speaker they had not oven the poor privilege of declaring their viows in Congress. It is only since the war with Spain that the Southern men have had a Hho)w, aind tho war was wvorth all it cost if nothing else was accomplhish ed, but the South is only twenty against lifty million, and 1 am asked what we are to do. I tell them, "We will and up in the middle of the read - ight them, so help us God, uin d'tv redeem tihe country and ck to tire use of fr-eedom bring itb and liberty.'% ydtde up of a home The South i f0t%scendants of Rev geneous people, Mae they are the olutionary sires, .asintr only true Amoricagr mth country. I cell the people 06the North that the South has the seed corn of lib erty in its people, and that threy will have to come to us whlen they wvant it, for they have let theirs rot. What do they say? They admit that I speak tire truth, and that they are slaves. T1he pension frauds that flood tire North with money and help the peo ple to endure tire harpships of ten cent, corn were treated to a dose of caustic. NcKinley's Atlanta speech offering to have tIre Government take care of the graves of Confed erate soldiers wvas referred to. "I told them we wanrt nro hrelp to take care of our graves until you (do something for our 01(1 soldiers wire are living in poverty." It is all a big steal with those pefople, and I have told throm that I know it is a steal, but I wanrt my share, and I earn it. If thie Democrats woro in power there would be no stealing, but as long as tire Republicans control there will b) no change, and tire South should have a share. Trusts. thre pnmgnny ofre Re publican party, were handled with gloves off, along the usual lines. The Philippine war was discussed at some length. His opposition to the acquisition of the islands was based primarily on the fact that the natives are of the colored race, and we have more negroes now than we care to he troubled with, but also on the ground that to annex them would be a breach of faith after Dewey's com pact with Aguinaldo, and again be cause the islands produce sugar, rice and cotton, which would come in competition with the products or the South. McKinley's policy wa9 severely criticised and the unauthorized pros ecution of the war was denounced in strong terms. The da'Igers to be feared from a largo standing army were depicted in a strong light. The army now is nothing but. a brooding ground for jobs for political henchmen, tho whole Philippine business is a fraud and a sham, and McKinleys talk about duty and "matnifesit destiny" is stuff, and some others who talk the sane way are hypocrites who turn my stomach. As for the preachers who patted McKinley on the back, God help such preachers. Bibles on the point of the bayonet., religion at the mouth of the rifle. Christianity that, is in culcated by shooting the convoits. The solution of the Philippine ques tion was not given by Senator Till man. He likened the administration to a man who caught a wild hog by the tail and wanted some one to help him turn it loose. The only way out of the difficulty ho could see was to turn out the Republicans and put William J. Bryan at the helm, and he would turn the hog loose imme diately and leave the Philippines to run their own affairs under the American protectorate, they to refund the $20,000,000 and set off coaling stations for the United States. FIREWORKS IN THE AFTERNOON. In the afternoon Congressman Stokes made a speech and then Rep resentative E. D. Smith was called to the stand. Ho proceeded to rub off the "butter.-' Senator Tillman replied in a speech nearly an hour long that had all the earmarks of an 1800 cam paign meeting. He repudiated the demand that he discharged his du ties in Washington and run State af fair: also. He said he would be a candidate for re-election and would take a haind ini the next campaign, stump)ing every county in the State in support of the dispensary if nieces sary. He would lick the opponents of the system out of their boots or go down with its ruins. He asserted that the dispensary was not intended to be a moral institution, but a place where people who wanted to drink could get all they wanted of good quality and the State recein the profits. It was forced on him, anyway. He found the devil loose when he wvent into office and lie did not at tempt to chain him. The State had to choose between prohibition and the dispensary, anid as the Prohibi tionmsts were a set of hypocrites and cowards, the choice fell on the dis ponisary. lie also wvent back to the time the dlispensary constables made a raid1 in Sumter. IIe said lhe elect. ed honest, sober, Christian men as cons5tablles, and when lhe sent them to Sumter to r-aid Morris's blind tiger they wvoro mobbed and rotten-egged. Thben lie saw lhe had to fight the devil with fire, and ap)pointedl mon wvho were honest and had sand in their craws to stand up and( fight. Among mm ny other things lie said that ho was no peace and unity man and the lines were still here and would be drawvn. The men who had formed the old rings and rode intc office over the people's backs wore still trying to ride into office arid would do it if not watched. Bears. theTh Kind You llave Aiwa SBough!

(Special to News and Courier.) Greenville, August 3.-The Peni. tont 'ary investigation has boon cl.>sed. The committee is nov itt work pre. paring its report. It will be sut)mit ted to Gov. McSwooney, and he will take such action as lie sees proper. The sequel will be one of more cases in court civil, and likely criminal. The testimony has devoloped two striking things: Almost absoluto indifference and carelessness in the handhlng of the State's aflairs and business by those charged with such responsibility, and second, the do volopoont of the tendency to got something for nothing out of the Stato, that is, "alny old thing" at the State's oxpese. The conl,ittee has not yet summed up the amount due the State for "any old thing," con vict hire and the like, developed in the testimony. The record thus far makes up the summary : Admitted by Col. Neal to be duo by him and which he expects to pay $3,584.41. This includes '387.17 for the Fret well oats, not included yesterday. Convict hire on J. B. Watson's con tract, settled by unpaid Ragsdale's note, $2,000. Interest since Decem ber 24, 1898, $70. J. B. Watson's draft, unpaid, held by bank settle ment for convict hire $2,000. Inter est on Vatson's draft since February, 18909, $50. Open account of J. B. Watson for convict hire $2,800. Total admitted due $11,103.41. This does not include the $72 for the Till man carload of bricks, or the laun dry account, or fertilizers for the Gubernatorial farms, etc., commis sary stores and the likow. The committee hold over today for the express purpose of hearing the testimony of Col. Wilio Jones and Mr. W. W. Russell. Mr. Russell was sick and could not come, and Col. Wilie Jones arrived, but his ex amination did not last three minutes. He said that the W. W. Russell note for $600 was a now note, the proceeds being all placed to the penitantiary account. This note was not a re newal, nor did it take placo of any other as far ats he could recollect. Mr. Stevensent said that the' comn mittee would enter upon the record that it wvould agree if Mr. Russell were present Ito wvould testify that the note given by him July 8, 1898, was an accommodation not.e, signed by Mr. Russell at the request of Col. Neal, and that the proceeds of the note wvent to the penitentiary ac count, and that the note wvas a now one, and not given to take the place C-f any previous note for convicts or otherwise. This onet(,d the testi mony. Mr. Prince, on the part of Col. Neal's counsel, said thero wvas not.h ing further, andl he wished to add that counsel were highly p)leased wit.h the just and fair treatmentt they had received, atnd wished to thank the committee for its fairness and1 liberality to themselves antd their client. It will piobably b)e a couple of weeks before thoe report arid finald testimony are laced in Govy. Mc Sweeney's hands. TOBACCO SALES IN FLOR)IENcE.
