A FISTICUFF BETWEEN EARLE AND EVANS AT FLORENCE. The Encounter Provoked by the Vulgar Insolence of the Governor—Earle De means Himself by Striking at the Of fender, who Dodges—A Generel Row Ensues and Earle is Struck in the Face. Evans Claming that he Did it— Watts and Richburg indulge in Vile Personalities—The Debate; as a Whole, on a Very Low Plane. ]<'lokk.vc'K, July 21.—This is the tfi-c-ut ciimpaign ol educa tion! It is a campaign that is growing from bad to worse. The Governor of the State of South Carolina and a Circuit Court Judge came to blows on the rostrum in the Court House. Blood was spilled as a result of the campaign of education. The campaign can hardly sink any lower. The personal fight was perhaps no more below the plane of the campaign than several of the speakers and many of the reformers. The speakers called each other liars with almost the same alacrity that they would call each other gentlemen. One candidate charged the other with being helplessly drunk, while the other charged his adversary with having failed three times, and becoming wealthier on the occassion of each failure. A Governor charged insurance agents with “doing the same as stealing money.” A Sena torial candidate referred to his adversary as being a jumping jack, a “toad,” and “unworthy to breathe the ‘fair name’ of a young lady,” and finally said of a Governor, “Watch him, he .has l)2en in a Court room before, and may yet be on the dock.” And a Governor said of his op ponents that they were going around “like fiee dogs with their tails cut.” But why go on? These are just a few sam ples of one of the campaign meetings. The list of such complimentary expresions may, by a search of the records, be found to continue ad infinitum. But what is ti e need of this? Actions often speak louder than words. Judge Earle could not stand it and came to blows with his adversary, and a couple of other candidates gave the audi ence to understand that there M as a possibility of a meeting “on the outside.” Ob, yes! this is the great cam paigh of education. It is one of the things of whicli the movement boasts, for it is said that it is a great privilege for candidates to come face to face before the people. It may not make much dilference whether the lives of the people are jeopardized by such meetings, hut, today it looked very threat ening, for numerous were the pistols that Mere drawn, and happy tlie result that none of them was fired. .Nom’ there M ill naturally be a variety of stories about the encounter between Governor Evans and Gen. Earle, as well as the efiect of several of the speeches. Without an inten tion of doing anyone an injus tiee, or mixing up the facts, they will he given just as they Mere seen or understood from those best able to detail the matters, for in the excitement of the moment it was difficult to see everything. .Naturally the cheif excite ment and the most sensational and dramatic incident of the campaign up to this time was the encounter between Gov ernor Evans and Judge Earle. It will be remembered that at previous meetings Judge Earle had warned Governor Evans not to make any personal re llections on him, or to use any improper language, and if he did so it would be at his peril. Governor Evans on each such warning took occassion to say that lie would say whatever he pleased, and as a sequence of this there occurred today the personal encounter in the four campaigns that have occurred since State campaigns between candidates began. Both men did what they promised, and occassioned thereby a very considerable disturbance. Judge Earle spoke first, and in the course of his remarks said nothing about his antago nist, hut dealt entirely with na tional issues. When Governor Evans began to speak there M as a colloquy between himself and J iidge Earle about certain questions that were asked at tiie Lancaster meeting, the issue arising through a controversy as to who started the campaign on the decline. This contro versy, involving the reading ot allidiivits, and a rather harsh tone between the two candi dates, was temporarily settled M ithout blows. Later on Gov ernor Evans had occassion to speak of the Tillman letter, and Meat on to say that his oppo nents were stating M’hat posi tion Tillman had taken or would take, and that the day before lie had gotten the letter one of his opponents had talked about Tillman, and said that he was hands off in the fight, but that the day he got the letter noth ing was said about this, and then he went on to say: “They are going around here like flee dogs, with their tails cut.” Judge Earle was seated just about a man’s length from Gov ernor Evans, who was speak ing from the slight elevation in front of the Judge’s stand. Just as the words “like fice dogs with their tails cut” came out Gen. Earle jumped np, and facing Governor Evans, but still on the main floor, said: “Now, Governor, that’s going too far,” atid walking up a step or two, with one foot on the elevation leading to Governor Evans, said to him, looking, him squarely in the face: Do you refer to me?” Governor Evans, with a little wave of the hand said: “Now, General, I wasn’t hurting you” or something like that. Judge Earle wanted no mis take about the matter, and said: “What did you mean. And Governor Evans, still look ing at him, said: “I mean just what I said; that you and Dun can are going around like two little fice dogs.” EAKLE STRIKES AT EVANS. If Governor Evans intended to say anything further there was no chance for it, for with that Gen. Earle deliberately put himself in position, drew hack his arm, and let it out at Governor Evan’s head with all the force that he had. Gov ernor Evans dodged, and if the blow struck him it was on the head or back, but not in ' the face. Governor Evans struck back while still bending, and hit Gen. Earle. In an instant fifty people around were up, and all was excitement. Sheriff Scarborough and two or three other people got ahead of Judge Earle and pinned his arms to his side, and Chairman McCall and others pulled Governor Evans one side. In less time than it takes to say it the two men were several feet apart. Governor Evans was standing on the elevation, without any bruises, and pale with excite ment, while facing him was his adversary with a sharp blow on the left cheek bone. The blood was trickling down the side of Judge Earle’s face, but this was of apparently no con cern to him, for he was there ready for the next move. Of course both men had their friends there, but at the instant tnat the blow was struck it appeared that there were more of Governor Evan’s friends about than those of Judge Earle, but within a min ute there were a dozen of Judge Earle’s friends about him. There was a great to do about it, and quite a number of the party seemed to want to get in to a fight, but there was more talking than anything else. Several of Governor Evan’s friends were crying out that they were ready and willing to fight it out. Several of the hot heads in the crowd drew their pistols while others did not draw them, but made ready to do so. The reporters stand was within a few feet of the scene of combat, and it was but an instant before men began trampling over their papers and persons. When the first shock was over the cool headea men in the audience, and around the com batants. cried for everyone to sit down, but everyone didn’t sit down, but kept on threat ening to fight and hurrahing for their favorite. The friends of Governor Evans seemed to get the notion that after the fight it was an effort to keep him from speaking, but no one seemed to have any such idea, and a few minutes after the blows had been passed J 'dge Earle, with the blood still on his face, mounted a chair and cried out, “This thing is all over, and let everybody sit down and I am sorrj for it.” A minute, or two afterwards Governor Evans cried out to his friends that if they were friends of his to sit down and b: quiet, as the fight was all over. By tne concerted efforts of some of the leading men in the crowd something liKe peace was restored, and Governor Evans began to speak agam, hut was interrupted and had to desist for a few minutes, until the friends of each of the can didates had given several more cheers for their friends. THE UOVKRNOK’S BODY GUARD. Some comment was made on the fact that Detective Newbolu was one of the first on the scene. At the time of the encounter he was in the audience, but was quick to come to the front, and while seeing to his friends, urg ed them to be quiet and sit doM-n. It was stated,^ and might be mentioned as a matter of information, that there were four State constables in the au dience or in the city. They did not, however, take any part in the fight. Judge Earle, and quite a number of others, are confi dent that the blow on Earle’s face, from which the blood came, was not inflicted by Gov ernor Evans, but came from a young man who was standing at the side of Judge Earle. Governor Evans, however/is confident that he struck Judge Earle, and that is more than likely, for it appears that there might have been two blows, or possibly three, as there was a slight redness between the eye brows, as well as at the side of the ear, and any one of these three blows may have been re ceived from Governor Evans, and the others from outsiders, or all from the outsiders. Governor Evans went on with his speech after this without reference to the encounter, and Judge Earle was surrounded by his friends and escorted into an ante room, where the abrasion on his face was treated with ar nica, or some such preparation. There were many around in the audience who seemed to expect further trouble, and who no doubt would have liked it but after the meeting the partici pants went to the hotel. EVANS HIGHER THAN THE LAW. Chief of Police Turbeville had a warrant against Governor Evans and Judge Earle on ac count of the fight, and was on his way to the hotel to serve it, when parties learning of it made efforts to have the mat ter quashed. Late in the afternoon Chief of Police Turbeville was in structed to serve the warrants. He found Judge Earle at his hotel, and the warrant was duly served. Judge Earle deposited a forfeit of $10, which was the amount asked for, and should the case ever come to a hearing will hardly make any contest about the matter. After serv. ing the warrant on Judge Earle the chief of police went in search of Governor Evans, who has been stopping with relatives in the city. There was some question as to the legal right to arrest a Governor on the charge of breach of the peace. When the warrant was taken to Gov ernor Evans he took the posi tion that he could not be arrest ed on a warrant of the chief of police, and it was so finally agreed, and the mayor excused the action in attempting the ar rest. It was then decided to abandon the whole case, and to return the $10 deposit put up b y Judge Earle. The encounter stands for it self, and people will have to judge for themselves whether Judge Earle or Governor Evans was justified in the course taken. That is a matter for every on 3 to judge in his own way. That is, whether a man in such a campaign as this is prepared to be likened to a fice dog, and whether, after warning, it should be resented. There was a plenty of other language used in several of the speeches that was not calculat ed to give any tone to the meet ing, and if the people of Flor ence are properly judged they very likely went away from this meeting with very much more disgust than satisfaction. POT AND KETTLE. The discussion, if such it might be called, between the rival candidates for Adjutant and Inspector General was cer tainly of the most personal and vituperative character, and much more of it might be given than is presented, if there were not so much other matter for a single day’s report. This meeting is not only one of the historical occasions of the present campaign, but is the re cord-breaker for the series that have heretofore been held in the State, and considerable of the discussion happening before the encounter and rows is given. A writer in the Standard, the Baptist weekly paper published in Chicago, repudiates the “Or thodoxy” that is based on igno rance. He speaks with equal sense and vigor when he says: For nobody, at no time, in all the history of this big world, has it been wholesome for any man to be an ignoramus con cerning any phase of truth that has to do with morality, intelli gence,—in short, the highest welfare of man. Every man should be a seeker after truth, should stop at nothing legiti mate to get the truth: it cannot hurt him, but must ever bless him. If that which he has held no matter how dear to his heart, is false, misleading, doubtful, he should not for a moment question as to its abandonment. Error must go, and should go, with all possible speed; while the^truth, the truth, should be received with ooen heart and hand. We have everything to fear from deadly error, nothing whatever to fear from the truth. If ignorance is a helper to Or thodoxy, let us quit being “or thodox” at once. No man can be complimented by the remark that he holds such and such a position because he does not know any better. Such a man is hardly fit to be a preacher or a teacher.

To Hon. Jno. T. Duncan Co- lumbia, S. C. My dear Sir: Your letter of July 5th, addressed to me at Chicago, reached me in the midst of the burly burly at tending the national conven tion, and, of course, there was neither time nor inclination to answer it. I reached home on the 14th, but had not recovered from the fatigue and excitement before the shocking tragedy occurred which snatched from me my first born. I mention these things by way of explanation of the .delay in replying to your letter Frankly, I must say that I am sorry you wrote any letter, for as I am dragged reluctant ly into this matter, I must speak with my usual bluntness. I have always regarded you as my personal and political friend and as a good and true Reformer; and for personal rea sons I would be glad to help you in any way. You have a per fect right to aspire to any office in the gift of the people and to use all honest and honorable efforts to secure votes. I must say, however, that you had no right to make use of the private CDnversation which you had with me in a manner calculated to deceive the public. There was nothing in the nature of a consultation about it. You did not breathe a word, or intimate even your purpose of becoming a candidate, and the tenor of our entire talk was, as you know, one of malignant criti cism on your part of Governor Evans, while I defended him or asked for proofs of your accu sations. I dul tell you that I expected to take no part in the election of Senator because I believed the people of South Carolina to be competent to judge for them selves, and that I have no right in any wise to attempt to direct or dictate their decision. You did me a wrong, when, as you are reported to have said in one of your recent speeches, you claimed I could “make whom 1 pleased senator.” It is an ac cusation of “bossism” which the people must resent and which you yourself must feel to be untrue. If you were not in the heat of battle in which self love and vanity are calculated to blind you, you would see what is apparent to every un biased and calm mind, that you are unjust to Governor Evans, and have jumped to conclusions that are unwarranted. How can Governor Evans, working for or accepting a fee from Rhind for legal services rendered before and after the contract with the syndicate was signed, be distorted into “dis honesty?” Rhind received a commiss : on for his services to the syndicate: Governor Evans is to receive a fee for his ser vices to Rhind. I did not know the nature of the agreement be tween them, because it did not concern me. But I did know that Evans was acting as Rhind’s attorney, for I could not help but know it, when ho acted as counsel in both the friendly suits brought before the supreme court, in connec tion with the bond issue. His connection with the case is a matter of record. What I stated at Walterboro was true then and is true still. Gover nor Evans had nothing to do with the making of the contract or the signing of it. That was the work of Dr. Bates and my self. Rhind organized the syn dicate with the assistance of Lancaster and Williams, and they agreed to pay him a cer tain commission. Dr. Bates and I, responsible instruments in the transaction, were in con stant dread that the deal would fall through and the State debt not be refunded, as one obsta cle after another presented it self. The judges of the supreme court lent every assistance in their power by speedily deter mining the questions of law pre sented to them. Every depart ment of the State government was willing and anxious to lend aid towards refunding the debt.. Governor Evans had nothing' to do with the transaction ex cept in his capacity as attorney for the broker, whose commis sion was at stake if the deal failed. If you were not blinded by prejudice and passion you would be bound to acknowledge what every lawyer in the State would assert and sustain—that his being a State senator could in no wise make it dishonorable or dishonest to practice his pro fession under the circumstan ces presented in this case. If you will remember, my last words to you that night when we had our conversation at Mr. Bunch’s, were: “Take care that envy is not, at the bottom of this, 'and that the people in the State House do not accom plish the overthrow of the Re form movement, if you keep on fighting one another in this way,” and now I repeat the warning. If I saw anything in Gover nor Evans’ conduct to condemn, I would not hesitate but be lieving, as I do, that he has been guilty of no official mis conduct, I cannot lena any help to drpg him down oral- low any one else to use me as the instrument of his undoing. Yours truly, B. R. Tillman. P. S.—Governor Evans has written me asking an explana tion of your charges, etc., in connection with our conversa tion and I have sent him a copy of this letter as an act of jus tice to him and to you.

Gunderman, of Dimondale, Mich., we are permitted to make this extract: “I have no hesita tion in recommending Dr. King’s New Discovery, as the results were almost marvelous in tho case of my wife. While I was S astor of the Baptist Churcht a lives Junction she was brought down with Pneumonia succeed ing La Grippe. Terrible parox- J sms of coughing would last ours with little interruption and it seemed as if she could not survive them.

In Doubt.—An aged man sauntering across Superior street Saturday morning was somewhat rudely jostled by a youthful wheelman. The shock of the collision tumbled the rider off and the old gentleman promptly grabbed him by the ear. “Dum you”, he said with considerable asperity. “I’ve a great mind to take you across my knee and spank you good.” But he did’nt do it. He just held the young fellow a minute and then let him go. Why did’nt you spank him, uncle?” said a bystander. “Well,” replied the old man with a humorous twinkle, “I certainly would if I hadn’t been a leetle afraid that mebby it was a girl.” Electric Bitters.
