Record represen tative knocked on the Captain's room 7 door and was invited to come ia. The newspaper man found the Captain in oooaoltatio* with Major; B. A.-Meetj \ of LexwgtoB, bnt be eordi?Hy granted 1 .? ? interview and talked quits guardedly ut?rst, bat soon loosed his long?e and ^ve-bis views freely. >' Wnen asked if be would state the purpose of bw visit to Columbia, jast at th?s time when, the oposittoo ?is center ing iteyoreee, be said that be bad come to Co?owbra to get books from the state library as he needed ?ome whieb could only be bad there. He had sent there, iawever. and could not find them. - 'He was asked if bis visit had any significance ra regard to the convention of -$traigbtonW? He replied: "{* baa none whatever.n The Captain said this ? J^owever, with a knowing look that seemed to 'indicate aoetber answer, and [ taking ?fra oe this Hue the interviewer .began ta questieo. bim. . Captain Tiilmao was interrogated as to his 'views of the Strarghtout move* W?? *ad conreotioD. He said that although the men who were engineering It wese some-of the most prominent in the S*ate~he ^owkl only have one view vi thw movement. ? That opinion was, and he thought it was the opinion of all the people of the State, that'those men were Independents, no longer members 1 of- the Democratic party in South C^roHoa; hat bolters In the most earnest ' sense of . the word. They had left the i pertjr of their own accord, and his epmioo in brief was in the words of Senator Hampton : 4 Such I a d epen dents are ?erse th*r the vilest Iladi ^cawy' . - ^Qt^tA, do yon regard the ?uK>ve i meat with any fear V was asked. ?H*ae in the least. I cannot have a fear of sacb a thing I the nominee of toe Democratic ofr South Carcltoa and - am as of beiag elected . Governor in as I am that I am sitting h&e: This movement cannot affect tuai {act in the least. I aas goiog^to^ t bave iK^gg^felt than I do to-da} : f- **But what if the negroes are voted - in this coming election. Captain, do yon hava no fear of t hem ?" vlfhe negroes, if they are voted to a man in the coonti. 8 where the people - will not oppose their voting can not keep me from being Governor in this - electron. The only thing I have to iesr from this step i* the consequences to the people of the State two years hence. Then the negroes will demand r?cognition is the party, and what are ib?j going to do with them ? This is more than I cen answer, and while I hr#e no fear of the cooeectueaee of the: nef Ju vote against me, I certainly tremble for the future." The Captain was theo asked if he thought the negro Tote would be pro dactive of trouble at the poHs in. the November election. He replied tba* he feared serious con sequences and much turmoil, probably nieodshed. They may be allowed to vote in come : counties* hut there are counties in the State where there will be troubl? of a most serious kind if there m an attempt to vote a negro for tee takers' ticket. -?-Take ?y coontj?Edgefield," lie said;v**There the people will resort to . any meana rather rhao allow the negro to-vote for this ticket. This., is the situation in many counties and t have grave apprehensions of the eon -Gast; TtlJman then turned his atten tion to the Straigbtout conference, on it ' .being mentioned that there were many delegate* in the city already. "Delegates!" be said 4 Oh, no; ~' they are wot delegates. - Who do they represent t ; Surely not the people. No ; these men. although many of them are leading South Carolinians, come here not as representative of themselves and themselves ak>oe. As such they some here and will nominate a State ticket to pat out against me." The Captain said this with extreme sarcasm, showing that ho was touching on a tender poiot. . ?apt. Tfllman said he bad some questions to propound, and his first was : "Bow does Comobia stand on the Haskell matter ? The reporter replied : '-Oh, the vast majority are for Haskell. '* Capt, Till man took the matter se riously. "Does Columbia think she is the whole State of South Carolina and rules every thing ? If she does she is mista ken, and the sooner she gets over the idea the better it will be for her." Col. Irby told him laughingly that be should sot talk of Columbia, and he aid : "Well ; but I would just like to talk to the people of this city for a while and toll them some plain facts." The Record men suggested that he utilise the hotel veranda tonight, and guaranteed him the largest audience be ever appeared before, but he laughingly declined. Here Col. Trby told Capt. Tillman that instead of interviewing be was be ing interviewed, and that he wss a poor haed at the business. So the talk ended.

Mr iBtftcr : We do not think that lore and veneration for tiroe*honored institutions or wise and gifted statesmen or military heroes I is a mark of deterioration or degeneracy, i Devotion to home and country, is a "rare gem," in toes* perilous times upon which we I have Wien : bat it. has been predicted in I GoiTs eternal word that men would become I "lorere of themselves." Sad and- lament ab-'e are the departure, from the old-time faith of our falbere Vi. The permanent and risible improvements, going on in this section of our county, fills my heart with pride. The C. S. ft N. Rail road pastes directly through my place, .the right of way being given by myself and t tons with one pro?iso, and that was cheer fully conceded. Old Mt. Clio was the former residence of [my father the late Col.S A- LaCoste, who I came to this Country in 1820, from Charles I too. i am a resident of Lynch turg Tow o ahip. The public road lending from Lynches River te the dividing Use between these two Townships. Mt. Clio was the- name of the Post Office. I remember .h little fellow by the name of Alfred China, who was the rider on J this pnstatiioe. "Honor and fame/' Doctor, ^FronTno condition rise, Act well your part* There all the honor lies." I presume you would not object to a form er's description of the rising yonng city of Mt. Clio: Messrs. Jenkins ft McCoy, with Mr. Turner Smith as a clerk, a sterling yonng man of energy and; vim, are doing a fine mercantile business. ~% Mr. W. M. Reid, with a steam mill, for grain and lumber and cotton gin in full ope? ration is doing well. Mr. D. R. Cooper comes next with his steam engine and fine cotton gin, with a tow ering smoke stack. He means business. Mettre J S. and ftr- -fb Gorbetr bave a large stock of dry goods and everything in the line of eatables to please the appetite of the daintiest epicure.

Oar mate ? friend, "Guv./' has laid the foundation of his new house. Of bis where abouts at thfs time I am in oblivion. I am afraid be has gone into winter quarters^ Your correspondent is too sober and staid to ffiveyo? \ picturesque description of our rising; young city ; but as I am laboring in the interest of reform, I hope you will accept the situation until'you can come over and view the promised land. S. D. Miller LaCoste. Greatest Bemedy God has Permt^ j ted usHto KE&rWr^7" An Open Leti&J&Stk?Publie from the Hon. fhos B. Scftnatterly. * New Arg y le, Hot SeaiKGf?, Abk.. Jaly 29, '90. D. B. .Anderson. Esq,r My Dear Sir; _i sense of gratitude moves me to write' you a line, and 3tncerdy thank you for the deep in terest, that you have taken in my case, and also for bringing to my notice the g?eat oxygen generator, "Thefitectropoiee." Being ?flSicted with Locomotor Ataxia, or progressive paralysis, and having been told by. that eminent diagnostician, Dr.' DaCosta, and also by' tue celebrated nerve ' specialist, Dr. S. Weir Mitchell, of Philadelphia, that I could not be cured, like any other greatly affiicted person, I feel justified in trying every thing. I bave been usinp th? small or pocket Electrono'Be for three weeks, and when i put it on I bad no faith in it. I, could not rise up or stand upon my feet ; was exceedrngiy weak and from a series of paroxysmal attacks, I bad lost greatly in flesh, but still a greater loss in strength until I bad become weaker in May than at any previous period of my sick ness, which began in March 1888. To my great .surprise, and still greater delight, I have, in three weeks made rapid gain in weight and strength both ; and feel stronger now in thigh and leg than at any time since I became sick I can rise upon my feet un assisted to-day, and this fact to me. is aston ishing and hopeful. It is clear progress, and gives me new faith and hope, and is wholly due to the Electropoise, as all medication is unavailing in my ens*. ,Am now fully under its influence, with several of the unpleasant symptoms ot over-charge. If this improve ment should continue fora reasonable period, I will most certainly regain my: locomotion. This treatment .seems to be founded upon a rational idea, and this instrument to a cer tainty will generate oxygen and transmit it into the s\ stem thereby expel'ing poisonous gasses, and revitaliz ng the whole structure. Loss of vitality is the ground work for this disease, and know lo? ks to roe as H this would } reach the wnole vaso-motor nervous system. If so, it will cure locomotor atsxia, and if it will cure this, it will certainly cure any other nervous disease I ?tn yonrs truly, Thos BSchnatterly. On Wine* Dry wine is the only healthful wine from the fact of its containing no sugar and little alcboL Claret should be drank at a temperature of j from 65 to 75 degrees. The decrease of drunkenness in California is due to the use of wine. Physicians in this city are recommending A. P. Levy*8 claret. Cheap wine with French labels is no wine at all, simply coloring matter, acids, tannin and water. Drink home production which is pure, at A. P. Levy's. .. 1 Always drink claret with*meat. "There are millions in it" said a druggist when asked about Dr. Boll's Cough Syrup. Price 25. cts? For some time past I've been a rheumatic. I recently tried Salvation Oil which gave me almost instant relief. I sincerely recommend it ae if has entirely cured me. James Gordon, Baltimore, Md.
