I t She garlmgtet gem HENRY T. THOMPSON.) WADDY THOMPSON, \ Editors. Tharsday, Au§. \\, 1892, THE PROMISED RELIEF. In the campaign of two years ago Gen. Bratton, who was a candidate for Governor, devoted the greater part of his speeches in an endeavor to show the peo ple that the depression, from which the farmers, and the peo ple generally, in theSouth were, and are now, suffering is due to fegeral legislation—the tremen dous tax imposed by the pro tective tariff, and.thatthe reme dy must be found in the federal government and not in the State government. His opponent, Governor Till man, would usually follow Gen. Bratton, scouting the idea that the trouble was in federal legis lation and claiming that it was due to extravagance and “incip ient rotteness” in the adminis tration of State affairs. He promised the people that if th^, would elect him Governor ne would better their condition. The people took him at his word and elected him Governor. He has now been Governor two years and he has not in the least bettered the condition of the people. He has failed to keep his promise. Now, when asked why he has not given the peo ple the promised relief, the Gov ernor says that the cause of the depression does not lie in the State government, but in the federal government, and that his being Governor cannot remedy the depression. Why, Governor, that is just what Gen. Bratton and the rest of the “anti’s” told the people two years ago ! You knew it then as well as we did and why did you fool the people? You laughed at us then for placing the blame of the depression upon the federal government and now, when asked by the people why you did not give them relief, you place it there too Can you explain your course in this matter, Governor ? If you can not the people can and their ex planation is that you were then, and are now, office seeking and that you shift with the wind. The difference between Till man and the Conservative can didates is that Tillman promi ses any and everything and the latter only promised what they can do. The “Anti’s” have always told the people that fed eral taxation is grinding them down. Just think of it, the peo ple of the little State of South Carolinajpay eveiy year in feder al taxation seven million dol lars ! Governor Tillman prom ised two years elected GfiyeciMT; he would relieve tBff depression. Has he done it? No. He promised too much, for, as he now confesses, he cannot do it. THEY DISAGREE. Mr. S. A. Nettles of Claren don, one of the leaders of the Prohibition party in South Caro lina, has resigned his position as a member of the Prohibition State Executive committee, as signing as his reason that the committee insists that prohibi tionists shall vote only for those candidates for the Legislature, who will pledge themselves to vote for prohibition, which ac tion he considers unwise and impolitic. Mr. Nettles thinks, and there are other prohibitionist who agree with him, that candidates for the Legislature should only be asked to pledge themselves to vote for prohibition in the event that the majority of the voters in their respective counties fa vor prohibition. A box will be placed at each polling place at the primary to ascertain the sentiment of the people in tha several counties on the prohibi tion question and Mr. Nettles’ idea is, as we understand it, that the candidates elected should act in accordance with the re sult in their respective counties. How the disagreement between Mr. Nettles and the committee will end we do not care to pre dict. The chairman of the State Prohibition Executive Commit tee, Mr. L. D. Childs, of Rich land, appears to us to be incon sistent. He is a candidate for the Legislature from that coun ty and in the county campaign is forcing the prohibition issue to the front. The prohibition ists are asking the anti-prohibi tion candidates for the Legisla ture whether they, if elected, will vote for prohibition should the majority of the Richland voters declare themselves in favor of it. Yet Mr. Childs himself says that he will vote for prohibition, if elected, whether Richland county favors it or not. Mr. Childs is frank, but inconsist- 1 ent. He wishes the anti-prohi bitionists to do what he is not willing to do himself—to prom ise to act and vote in accordance | with the expressed wish of the majority of the people of his county on the question of pro hibition. It is a poor rule that will not work both ways. STATE NEWS. Gathered From Our Exchangee, And Put in Paragraphs. E. J. Sawyer, colored, has as sumed charge of the postoffice at Bennettsville. He was re cently appointed postmaster. A negro, named McFarland, has been appointed postmaster at Cheraw. The Congressional campaign in the Second district is becom ing very heated. Geo. Tillman and W. J. Talbert, the two most prominent candidates, are mak ing verv bitter speeches against each other The State campaign is drawing to a close. Most of the meet ings held recently were very orderly, save at Union on Thurs day, when there came near be ing a personal difficulty between Governor Tillman and Col. Orr. Donaldson Boyd, a white man, was knocked on the head with a brick by some ndgroes on the streets of Laurens Friday night and robbed of his pocket book, containing a small sum of money. Boyd was found in an unconscious condition. His skull was crushed and he is seriously injured. Several ne groes have been arrested on suspicion. The Coroner of Aiken county was recently called on to hold an inquest over the remains of Mr. Wm. Cochran, who died and was buried under suspicious circumstances. The body was disinterred and a post mortem examination was held. The jury rendered a verdict that the deceased had come to his death from blows on the hack of the head, inflicted by his daughter, Frances Boatwright. At a campaign meeting in Anderson county on Monday Mr. E. B. Murray, a prominent Conservative of that county, appeared on the scene to make a speech. A crowd of Tillman- ites set upon and beat him bad ly. They hit him with their fists and also with stones, one man using his umbrella on him. Mr. Murray was handled so roughly that he had to leave the meeting. His life seemed to be in imminent danger. GENERAL NEWS. Items o' Interest From All Over The World. Congress adjourned .line die on Saturday night. The Farmers Alliance of Louisiana has gone into the Third party. Six miners were drowned in a npar Dewsbury, Eng land, on Friday. . ' A pleasure steamer was wrecked off the coast of Fin land recently and forty-fiveper- sons were drowned. The first bale of Alabama's cotton crop was received at Do than, Ala., on Wednesday of last week. It was classed as middling and sold for 10 cents. George Hudson was killed at Joplin, Mo., on Saturday, while resisting arrest. He was a des perate character, having at different times killed seven men. After a long fight Congress has appropriated, $2,500,000 for the World’s Fair. This is a compromise as the original ap propriation asked for was $5,- 000,01)0. On Wednesday right of lasti week robbers held up a train near Collis, Cal. They blew open the door of the express car with dynamite and stole money, j the amount of which is un- ^ known. A whole family, consisting of a man, his wife and four child ren were killed on Monday by being thrown over a precipice near Guthrie, O. T They were in a vehicle and both horses wore also killed. A lot of gold coin was sent East from the United States sub- treasury at San Francisco on Thursday. It was the largest amount of money ever sent across the country, being about $20,000,000. The trai had an strong, armed guard. Wednesday of last week, Au gust 3, was the four hundredth anniversary of the day on which Columbus set sail from Palos, Spain, on his voyage which re sulted in the discovery of Amer ica. The anniversary was cel ebrated with great spendor in Palos. Tom Watson, the Third Party Congressman from Georgia, made a charge in a speech in the House of Representatives that members frequently ap peared on the floor drunk. A committee was appointed to in vestigate the matter. The ma jority report declared the charge unfounded. Jerry Simpson, the Third Party Congressman from Kansas, who was a member of the committee dissented from the majority report. It will be rememl>«red that the leaders of the strikers in the recent Homestead riots were arrested for murder and put under bon I. Now warrants have been issued for the arrest of the mill officials and several Pinkerton men on the charge of murder. A horrible double murder was committed at Fall River, Mass., on Friday. Andrew J Broden, a very wealthy man, and his wife were killed at their home, j They were both terribly muti lated about the head and face with an axe or razor. Suspi- i cion points-to the daughter of the murdered couple and J. W. Morse, a brother-in law of the murdered man by his first wife,! as the perpetrators of the deed. Morse has been very attentive to the daughter and the suppo- j sition is that they wished to: come into possession of the old | couple’s money. GOVERNOR SEWARD’S LOST BET. BEING DECAPITATED. Ar« the Movewente of the llriul end Kttee After Oecapitetlon Involuntary or Are They Attended with Some Slight Action of the Will—Some Experiment*. The question of the duration of con- | Bciouttness in the brain of criminals after- execution by hanging or by the guillo tine is being discussed with greater in terest than ever since Anastay, the mur derer of Baroness Dellard, paid his debt to society. It is said that this remarka ble criminal sent to his brother a letter on the subject as follows: Tho reparation of my body and that which conatitutefi my thinking being cannot so soon bo accomplished. I believe there lx a survival of about an hour. Come, then, U-on, be pres ent at my execnllon and insist that my head be given to you. Cnll me with your voice and my eyes will rep:y to yon. This is but the repetition of a popular belief that has prevailed for centuries. There is a leg< nd of a state exeention in England at an epoch when the ax and block were in use. which sets forth that after the instrument had fall u the per son whose head was on the -lock ex claimed, "Yen have missed me!” to which the executioner replied with a slight kick th: t sent the head rolling to a distance. The story never gained much credence, but is still worthy of discus sion. Its truth or falsity would depend on the possibility of the instrument being so thin and sharp that the walls of tho veins would not ho displaced, in which case tho circnlation of the blood might continno for a few seconds, and whether const iousness might continue for a moment after the vertebra: of the neck was severed. This last difficulty would be the greatest, since utter un consciousness is supposed to be simul taneous with the severing of the spinal cord or the breaking of the neck. In any event, scientists who have taken tho trouble to study the faces of the guillo tined for a few seconds after the fatal stroke, or who have made experiments with decapitated animals, do not favor the theory. Several French physicians, and among them Dr. Paul Loye, now deceased, bnt once a profess, r at the Sorbonne, have experimented with dogs, using for their hanging or decapitation machinery like that employed in public executions The dog wai chosen for the ex periments as having the most mo bile face and being able to repro duce the movements which in rare cases have bten observed in human subjects. Persons whom this treatment of dumb anim: Is might revolt are begged to remember t hat the suffering is mucl less than in vivisection, since these methods of exeention are generally rec ognized as p- odneing the least pain. The guillotine employed by Dr. Loye was similar to that used for the execu tion of ordinary criminals in France. It consisted of a triangular knife or ax, surmounted b\ a mass of lead weighing over twenty ;>ounds and falling over six feet upon the neek of the animal, which.was severed at the third verte- bra. The ph -noinena observed were similar to those remarked by other French and by foreign savants whose experiments In ve been less elaborate. At the moment the head was detached from the body the mouth opened wide, as if the aninml was making an extraor dinary effort a. inhalation. The tongue was applied t > the lower part of the mouth and underwent a brief period of agitation. The eyelids were closed with light contract, ons. Then the eyes weu opened and n lied from side to side and top to bottom the pupils in the mean, time gradually contracting. At tho same time thi jaws were o|>ened an violently close.., and the face was rapi. ly convulsed. This was followed by changes at the corners of the mouth, vi bration of the nostrils, trembling of the lips and erect on of the ears. The en semble of the^e movements constituted a series of horrible grimaces like th.ise seen on the fa. e of the guillotined, and seemed to express the most intense ag ony, If the cornea of the eye was touched the eyelids closed, but if an ob ject, no matter of what kind, was placed before the eye there was no movement. Neither did ciying nor whistling int ■ the ears of th < dog appear to cause tho slightest sensation. The pinching of the tongne caused a slight shrinking of that organ. A thongh the pupil of the eye was contracted, the approach of a light rendered the orifice still smaller. These pheno nena occupy abont ten seconds, and are followed by a period of repose continn ng to the fifteenth or twentieth second, during which the mouth rests closed and the eyes open and withont movement At the end of this time the month opens’ and closes quickly, the no.trils dilate and contract. During this tin e, although the irritation of the cornea has caused a slight wink ing, neither whistling in the ear nor tonchiug the to igue or nostrils with am- ■noma or cologne has been able to pro duce any effect. The opening and clos ing of the month resemble yawning, and are reproduced a dozen times, after which the motions gradually cease. Thun the cornea loses its sensibility to tbe touch, though, half a minute having elapsed, the ya.rning is still active. Tbe pupil of the ey. dilates at the approach of light, but d. es not contract, and the cornea loses its glistening appearance. At the end of t vo minutes the yawning and other phenomena have ceased, end ing in mere contraction of the fibers, and the head takes a corpnelike look.— San Francisco Chronicle. He rails to Establish His Mcatltjr and Iswcs Twenty Dollars. The other afternoon, when the shadows wen growing longer in the streets and tbe day was taking on a somber hue. a little group of politicians sat in the city hall regaling each other with ye stones of ye olden time. Among those reeled off was the following regarding an ex perience of William U. Seward,who was then governor of the Empire State. It seems that while traveling aronnd through the rural districts and making sure that his political fences had no very Imd breaks in them, he came one even ing to the humble abode of a fanner, It was too far from the town where he was stepping to go back that night, and so he asked permission tostop there. This was cheerfully granted, and after partaking of an old fashioned conntry snpper the old farmer invited his un known guest to take a ride across the country with him, he having an errand to do in a neighboring village. Witli all the suavity for which Mr. Seward was justly famed, he accepted the invi tation, and as they drove along in the gathering twilight he entertained the old farmer with all manner of campaign experiences and stories. The old farmer's native shrewdness caused him to wonder why tho stranger should show him so much attention, and at last he blurted out: “Say, be you a book agent?” “Not that I know of,” was the gov ernor’s smiling rejoinder. “Perhaps you’re a lightning rod man, eh?" “No, sir; yon are wrong again.” "Then you're a sewing machine man.” No, sir.” “Well, then, by gosh, you must be a politician.’” Mr. Seward at once acknowledged the toft impeachment, and then informed the inquisitive old fellow that he was the governor of the state of New York. This quieted the old fellow for awhile, but at last he could hold in no longer, and he quietly informed Mr. Seward that he thought he was a liar. Mr. Seward, however, insisted on the truth of his story, and the dispute finally resulted in a wager of twenty dollars. The money was placed in an old lantern that was carried in the wagon to be used in case of emergency, and it was agreed that the first person they met was to decide as to the ownership of the money. Should he fail to recognize Mr. Seward as governor the former was to win, and vice versa. The test soon came. Driving by the shop of a wayside blacksmith, the pro prietor himself stisxl in the doorway. The farmer stopped his wagon and Mr. Seward said; “My friend, my veracity has been questioned by the gentleman with me, and 1 should be pleased to have him con vinced as to who i am. Will you be kind enough to tell him?" The man of brawn and muscle ]ieered at Mr. Seward long and earnestly. Then turning to the farmer he said, in awe struck tones: “He’s all right. Bill! I know him! He’s Tlmrlow Weed, by gosh!" The farmer took the twenty dollars and Mr. Seward was p(x)rer by that amount than when lie started ouL—Chi cago Mail Notice.
