The Lexington Dispatch, in
discussing the causes which
lead to the defeat of John Gary
Evans,has, among other things,
the following to say:
Doubtless the letter of Senator Till-
to McSweeney and others had its
effect in changing votes from Kvsns to
Earle. Many Reformers regarded the
writing of that letter as an effort to
coerce them to support Governor Evans
whether he was their choice or not
For writing that letter Senator Tillman
has been severely criticised by promi
nent members of his own foction.
They argue that for this same reason
Gen. Hampton was condemned in 1890.
In our opinion there is a big differ
ence between the two cases. If we re
member correctly, Gen. Hampton left
his duties in the Senate at Washing
ton, came to South Carolina, took the
stump, and by the use of bitter invec
tives and insulting language, attempted
to whip and drive the people to the
support of his faction. With Senator
Tillman the case was different. He
had repeatedly declined to champion
the cause of either of the three candi-
dates. He claimed all along that the
yeople were inteUigent, that they were
competent to judge as to the merits of
the candidates asking their suffrage
without any dictation from him and re
mained silent. Not until after Gover
nor Evans was practically defeated
that he gave public utterance of his
views on the Senatorial race, and then
only in response to a written request
. signed by prominent members of his
^political household, and then advised
members of his own faction.
Of course Gen. Hampton left
Washington and came to his
native State to try and calm the
troubled waters. No one in
South Carolina had ever had a
greater influence over her peo
ple than Wade Hampton and no
one had a better right to speak
words of advice and wisdom to
his friends and fellow citizens.
It is absurd for the Dispatch
to speak in a disparaging way
of an United States Senator
leaving Washington to make
speeches, for has not Ben Till
man been in the habit of galla-
vanting all over the country to
deliver harrangues to the peo
ple, when he ought to have been
attending to his duties in Wash
ington?
The Dispatch also speaks of
Senator Han; r> *‘ > " hitter
in vx- -war bugs—in tnV,v
which are playing havoc
"^'""es an-, •$&> ^ >
guage and attem'pting^R.
and drive the people to the sup- - *
port of his faction. If Gen.
Hampton ever did any such
t ling the editor of this paper
was never aware of it before,
but he is certainly familiar
with the fact that the Dispatch’s
favorite champion,Ben Tillman,
has never indulged in any
thing plsc. but bitter invectives
and such like. The\claim also
made by the Dispatch that Till-
*man never took any p&iy in the
'Senatorial fight, pr^Vddiculous
on the face of it, tor did not
ticket put out bj the same fac
tion: At large—Robt. Morr-
man, of Newberry, W. D. Crum,
of Charleston.
First district, F. W. Sheper,
Beaufort; second district, James
Powell, Aiken; third district,
J. R. Tolburt, Abbeville; fourth
district, E. M. Screven, Rich
land; fifth district, Joseph
Clark, Lancaster; sixth district,
Dr. John Lunney, Darlington;
seventh district, J. M. Tindall,
Sumter.
The following is the electoral
ticket of the “Lily Whites.”
At large—B. O. Duncan, E. M.
Brayton.
First district, J. A. Noland;
second district, D. E. Yates;
third district, M. H. Bryce;
fourth district, Frank Nichols;
fifth district, G. G. Alexander;
sixth district, Wf Me. G Buck;
seventh district, F. M. Brichett.
The State ticket nominated
by the same faction is as fol
lows:
Governor, Sampson Pope;
Lieutenant Governor, W. - W.
Russell; Secretary of State, B.
R. King; Comptroller-General,
V. P. Clayton; Attorney-Gener
al, L. D. Melton; Treaturer,
D. J. Knotts; Adjutant Gener
al, A. T. Jennings; Superin
tendent of Education, M. A.
Dawson.
The Webster faction only has
one negro on the State ticket
and the Baryton faction none.

you do not register then you
will lose your opportunity to

Since all the papers in the
State are demanding a thorough
and impartial investigation of
the dispensary, the necessary
inference is they want to catch
all who have had anything to
do with it from Tillman down,
A dispensary investigation
without involving Tillman
wonld be no investigation at
all. -
The State board of control in
vestigated some of the dispen
sary. scandals last week, but
nothing especially new was
brought out.The only two things
worthy of mention is the at
tempt to bring D. H. Tompkin’s
into the business and the ad
mission 'by W. T. Mixon that
he received more than $3000 in
rebates. The board will meet
again in October when the in
vestigation will be resumed,
but it is not probable that any
thing substantial will be done
until the matter is taken in
hand by a committee of the
Legislature, composed of men
who care nothing for the dis
pensary one way or the other,
except to probe to the bottom
from all the scandals connected
therewith.

Mr. Alex. G. Kollock,

Dear Sir:—I have just read
in The Darlington News of
August 6th, of the “Movement
to raise a memorial fund with
which to honor the memory and
preserve to posterity the name
and fame of Henry Timrod”,
and am rejoiced to know that
what has been the unrealized
desire of many in South Caro
lina has at length taken shape,
and likely to result in some fit
ting tribute to the memory of
the most exquisite genius of
South Carolina, and consum
mate flower of her civilization.
I enclose my note payable
Not. 15th 1896, as indicated, for
this worthy cause. * * *
Very truly yours,
J. Edward Nettles.

Th« Unique Cnee of Dr. Barry.
Among mala impersonators there
is the remarkable, if not unique,
case of Dr. Barry, who died at Corfu
in July, 1885. This lady, said to
have been the granddaughter of a,
Scotch earl, is surmised to have
adopted male attiro and the medical
profession from attachment to an
army surgeon. Never in her life
time had any one the slightest sus
picion of her sex. While staff sur
geon to the Cape garrison, she most
successfully treated the governor,
Lord Charles Somerset, fought a duel
and was considered to he of a must
quarrelsome disposition. The doctor
was frequently guilty of flagrant
breaches of discipline, and on more
than one occasion was sent home
under arrest, hut somehow or other
the offenses were always condoned
at headquarters. The late Earl of
Albemarle relates in his reminis
cences that on sitting next to her at
mess he noticed “a certain effemi
nacy in bis manner, which ho seemed
to be always striving to overcome;'
while his style of conversation was
greatly superior to that one usually
heard at a mess table in the days of
nonoompotitive examinations.’’ In
Bart’s “Army List” for 18C5 the
name of James Barry, M. D., stands
at the head of the list of inspectors
general of hospitals. In tho July of
the same year her death was an
nounced, and tho next day it was
officially reported to the horse
guards that the doctor was a wom
an. It is singular that neither the
landlady of her lodging nor the black
valet who had lived with Lor for
years had the vaguest notion of
her secret.—Admiralty, and Bprse

and repudiated Duncan? The
aich has a weak case at
and has made a most weak
defence, but, when it under
takes to belittle and disparage
Wade Hampton, it will find the
job too heavy to carry. When
a newspaper, which ought to be
a guide and instructor of the
public, attempts to mislead
them by such remarks, as the
Dispatch has made about one

its right to the respect, and

Judge Earle, but rejoice that
John Gary Evans has been re
pudiated by the voters of South
Carolina. By the election of
Judge Earle to the U. S. Senate,
the people of South Carolina
have rewarded a political trait

circumstances. His election,
however, only shows the be

Those working on salaries
will be injured by the free coin
age of silver because their
wages now are much higher, in
proportion to living expenses,
than they were a few years ago.
Under free coinage, their em
ployees would not increase their
salaries to any appreciable ex
tent and the necessaries of life
would be higher. Looking at it,
therefore, from a selfish stand
point, the wage earner would be
foolish to advocate the free coin
age of silver.

Temperature Gradients.
In connection with his geological
and cosmological investigations Pro
fessor Clarence King has construct
ed a series of temperature gradients,
as they are termed—that is, tables
with diagramatio representations of
temperature and pressure from the
surface to the center of the earth.
Be finds that, while there is really a
very slight change of temperature
from tbe surface to the center below
a certain superficial depth, tbe pres
sure augments with one downward
sweep to tho center. Thus it passes
1,741 degrees at 175,000 atmospheres,
thenoe steadily augmenting until at
the oenter it reaches over 8,000,000
atmospheres’ pressures. It appears,
therefore, that the empire of heat
over pressure is confined only to the
■uperfioial layer of the earth, that of
pressure over heat being not far be
low the surface and increasing stead
ily downward to the oenter. The
k’-uorature of tbe earth, as a globe,
