There seems to be no doubt, at the hour of go’hr to press, that the man, who is covered all over with fraud svd rascality, is defeated for the United States Senate. The people of South Carolina are to be congratulat ed upon the result, and now that they have made a begin ning in good work t, let tnem continue their labors until they get all of the rascals expelled from tho public service. Rhind, and all the rest of them, who know anything about the cor ruption which has been going on, should be made to testify, and the whole thing should be sifted to the bottom. The Bishopville Mirror pro tests against the Conservatives using the bond deal business against John Gary Evans and says that if Evans is guilty then Tillman and Bates are a) so guilty. That is just what the “Conservatives” think, co temporary—Dr. Bates, who was, at first, regarded as a very hon est man, has been badly smirch ed by his connection with the bond deal, and it is doubtful if a straightout can be found who does not believe that Ben Till man got the biggest part of the commissions that had to be paid out, as Rind says for poli tical influence. Ben Tillman has been fortu nate in not having to face the charges against himself on the stump, otherwise he too might have been made to wriggle and explain as John Gary Evant has been forced to do. But Benjamin’s day is coming and then there will be something sure enough to interest tht voters of South Carolina. course, it makes no difference how thoee who are opposed to free silver in South Carolina vote, still the nomination of a democratic gold ticket will afford many democrats through out the country the opportuni ty of sticking to the gold stau dard without going outside of the democratic party. While Palmer and Buckner stand no chance of election, the demo cratic party will rue the day when they elect Bryan and free silver becomes a reality. The editor of The News was informed, last Friday, by R. R commissioner Thomas and Col. Duncan, the secretary of the board, that the Commission had notified the Coast Line people to put on the passenger train from Wadesboro to Florence. Col. Duncan also Haid that the Coast Line authorities had replied favor ably and he thought the train would soon be running. If the train is to be put on now is the time—the down freight has all ready missed connection at Florence with the Columbia train and several times has reached Darlington from one hour to an hour and a naif lat«* in the afternoon. later. Gen. Manager J. R Kinley telegraphs the R. R. Commis -tion that tho passenger train will be put on the Cheraw & Darlington R. R. Monday next, the 14th. The News publishes tables this week showing the vote which Evans, Earle ana Duncan got at the several pre cincts in the county at the pri mary of Aug. 25, and also the vote which Evans and Earle re ceived at same precincts Sept 8th. Lawrence and Mozingo’s votes at the twu primaries may also be compared. It will be seen that Evans’ majority this time is three more than it was two weeks ago, and that Mozin go has beaten Lawrence b} only ten votes. While it is re markable, to say the least, that Evans should have received more votes in Darlington than he did at the last primary, we must be thankful that the State, as a whole, did not see fit t< endorse a man who is covered all over with fraud and corup tion. Since Mixon claims that John Gary Evans said that the peo ple have been talking of D. R Trailer getting rebates while he was liquor commissioner, i: might be well to remark that it is reported that Trailer has re ceotly built a brick store a> Timmonsville and made other investments there. It is also said that Trailer offered $8000 for a piece of property in Dar lington sometime ago and agreed to pay the cash. Ordi narily the people of South Car oliua would have no right to enquire into a man’s private business, but, on account of mutterings which have been going on for several years, and, especially in view of recent dis pensary scandals, they have a perfect rigbt to ask where Mr. Trailer got $8000 in cash these hard times Ex-Senator Palmer, of Illi nois,aad Ex-Governor Buckner, of Kfibtueey, have been notni- [ President and Yice Preef- the Indianapolis oon- t a gold and tariff for John Gary Evans denies hav ing told Mixon that Tillman lined his pockets with rebates and says that Mixon’s sons got the rebates. Mixon acknowl edges that his sons got some of the rebates but reiterates the statement about Tillman lining a is pockets and charges John Gary Evans with getting $150 for a little work done in Wash ington in the interest of tho dis pensary. The truth of the mat rer is Mixon, Tillman, Evans md Trailer and there is no tell mg how many more, have pro 'jably been glowing rich off the dispensary, and the time is now ripe for the whole thing to come mt. It is not at all proper for the straightouts to engage in any demonstrations on account of the election of Judge Earle. He is not their candidate and they simply aided the Tillmanites in downing the ‘scalawag’ John Gary Evans. Had the fight been between two honest Till- manites, the “straightouts” would have taken scarcely any interest in it. John Gary Evans is reported to have granted a beer privi lege to a Mr. John Mashall, of Greenville, on condition that he pay him fifteen cents on every dozen bottles of beer. There seems to be no end to the schemes resorted to by this man to steal money belonging to the State of South Carolina. Some of the newspapers are praising Mr. Ellerbe to the skies md are predicting that he will be the Governor of all the peo ple &c. Mr. Ellerbe has the re putation of being an honest man and certainly gives the ’repression that he will do his duty as Governor, but, it must be remembered that it was said, at the time John Gary Evans was elected Governor, that he was going to adont a conserva tive course ahd make friends in the ranks of the “straightous.” Let us all hope that Ellerbn will be a vast improvement over his predecessor, but at the same time it is better not to be too nasty about prophesying. The managers of Bryan and dewall’s campaign cannot con -ustently allow Ben Tillman to make speeches all over the coun try since his name has been con nected with dispensary, bond and other scandals in South Carolina Many voters through out the country will revolt at the idea of such a man attempt ing to blacken the character of other men while thousands of the citizens of Tillman's own State believe him utterly cor rupt himself W T hile in Columbia the other day, The Editor op The News saw a letter to a Tillmauite in Sumter county signed by Ben Tillman in which he said that the defeat of John Gary Evans meant the downfall of the re form movement and his (Till man’s) defeat four years hence. If Tillman’s re election in 1,900 depends upon the election of John Gary Evans in 4896 the reformers are no longer in need of Tillman’s services. Those who have heretofore had any doubt that Tillman was as guilty of theft as John Gary Evans are, doubtless, now convince I. that they are both in the same boat. Else why should rilimau put his influence to such a severe test as he did when he wrote the letter, pub- lisbed in The News this week, to save his partner from being Now that John Gary Evans is defeated and can no longer be of any benefit to Golden Rhind, of brokerage fame, that interest ing individual might be indue, ed to tell something which would be of great interest to thousands of people in South Carolina. Palmer and Buckner are both more than 70 years old, and, therefore, cannot be accused of thirsting after office. They are loubtless running to perpetu de the time honored principle )f the democratic party—sound money. John Gary Evans receiveu one vote at Tillman’s box and Earle 61. On the 25th of Au gust Evans received two votes at the same box, but Tillman was absent on the 8 and the “innocent young man” lost a vote. Wonder if Ben Tillman will provide a place for his tatooed candidate now that be is de feated for the Senate. I bus pect, though, that Benjamin will have his hands full from now on taking care of himself. South Carolina is not to be congratulated upon the election of Joseph H. Earle, but she is co be congratulated upon the fact that the people have enough honesty and decency to repudi ate a thief. The “straightouts” who voted in the recent primary, voted against John Gary Evans and not for Joseph H. Earle. Judge Earle should understand that. Business Locals.

No one of experience would ven ture to say which is the country most afflicted by mosquitoes, much more the spot But it is something to identify the place which all who have visited it saving one traveler, declare unrivaled. Such visitors have been few, but every one of them was a man specially qualified to pro nounce. It is a canal, but of nature’s forming, which connects the Sara wak and Sainabaran rivers of Bor neo. Boats using it avoid a sea pas- sage and gain several hours in time, and on the homeward voyage espe cially Malays are very far from in- different to such advantages. But though a storm be raging outside, they think twice before -r: king the short cut. In fact it is officers of the government charged with impor tant news or belated and sick for a Christian welcome before sleeping who dare the horrors of that pas sage. Naval officers also have used It not infrequently, gathering a yarn to spin for the rest of their natural lives. Sir Spencer St. John is the single witness who thinks the^e is one more terrible place on earth, and that,” says be, "is Pnbuam, at the entrance to the Siam river.” Sir Spencer proceeds: “It took us the whole night to got through, and no one was able to close bis eyes. The leaves of the nipa palms nearly met over our heads, and every time one was touched a swarm of mos quitoes settled upon us. I endeav ored to shelter myself under a blanket, but the beat was so great as to compel me to unwillingly face the enemy. I have heard of men exposed to this snnoyance being thrown into a fever by constant irri- tation, and I can well believe it." The last remark must allude to | natives aud to tl.c i::i;ntion of mos quitoes in a general sense, for it is really bathos applied to thie pr.rtio- ular spot. Once on p. iin:e wo nl-o longed for ChristiEn society r:.d in sisted upon tuking the snort cut The mosquitoes vw re so thick that one could not see the pauukr iu the bows. Clapping one’s palms together one felt the crush of insects between them, and a black paste remained, but we did not spend more than an hour happily in getting through. A few days aftcrwoid Captain Reid of her majesty’s ship Rifleman passed, going on a visit to the rajah. For three years he had teen surveying iu the China seas, end his crew was inured to mosquitoes, if men can be. But with difficulty they reached Kuching, and four were taken, straight to hospital. Doubtless tho oars in that narrow passage, shaking tho nipa leaves, which are half sub merged, brought every mosquito within reach upon them. How do the small fiends live? The question obtrudes itself in spots like this. Evidently they get no taste of blood. Men do not pass once in a week. Animals ihere are none in a grove of nipa palms, always under water. So far as we can see, their lanrets and suoking tubes serve no purpose, for if they eat one another all the ingenious apparatus is un necessary. It is the same case with fleas in southern Europe and else where. The cornfields aie alive with them, and, though at harvest time one in millions may find a victim, generations have lived and died in tho months preceding. Darwin's ex- periments with insect eating plants may possibly throw light upon the matter. Keeping some under condi tions which forbade them to catch insects, and others of the same spe cies unrestrained, he found that, al though both grew and flowered with equal vigor apparently, those de prived of animal food did not readi ly set their seed or ripen it wbeu set, while the young plants were weakly. A supply of insects appears to be necessary for the preservation of the species. Bo, perhaps, the minute proportion of mosquitoes which find dead fish or something of the sort keep the pernioious breed flourishing.—Pall Mall Gazette. Tbm Baling Spirit Strong* The prosecuting attorney of a north Missouri county and a young attorney noted for his persistence were recently trying the preliminary hearing of a criminal case before a justice of the peace. The young at torney asked many irrelevant and incompetent que8tions,and when the prosecuting attorney would object would always say: “Your honor, before you pass on that objection I want to argue it.” Finally the young man asked the came question the seventh time against the prosecuting attorney's objection, when the prosecutor, los ing bis patience, said in a loud aside: , are you never going to get over being a confounded fool?” Whereupon the young fellow jumped up with his usual remark: “Ycur honor, before you pass on .I.at I want to arguo it”—Green Bag.
