Congressman Shell was struck and knocked dows and seriously injured bj a cable car io Washington on Monday night Be was picked ap and taken to his quarters, where he received the best attention. It is said that his injuries while painful are not now believ? ed to be serions. He is to be moved as soon as possible to Congressman McLaurin's house. "The State of Chihuahua, M?zieo, has passed a law which provides that anyone caught stealing cattle may be shot down oe the spot without awaiting the formalities of law. This gi vss a fellow a spend id chance to get even with the fellow he don't like. All he batt to do is to en tice him on to his cattle range and fill bim full of buckshot.- Wilmington Star This is true, also, in respect to Gov. Tillman's instructions to bis constables to shoot those who insult them. Dispenser Cartlege, of Columbia, is a mem? ber of the Methodist Church. The Methodist discipline says that no man who sells liquor for use aa a beverage may remain a member of that Church. Ministe-Elwell of Colum? bia, of whose charge Cart lege was a member, has applied the Discipline, and expelled Cartlege. Others, it ?3 stated, are to be dealt with similarly in the same church. Chief Dispenser Traxler, who is a Baptist, is also being moved against by his fellow-members, and will be called on to decided between hts official posilioo and his chotea* membership. The yellow fever situation at Brunswick Ga., has become serious, if not alarming Si ace the death of Surgeon Bran ham, of the ?. S. army, who was sent there by the Government, and took the sever, a great ex? odus of the people has- taken place. There is but one case there now, a Mr. Harris. The Marine Hospital Bureau has established a "probation camp" near Waycross, Ga., aod a rigid quarantine has been established in Charleston against Brunswick. Atlanta, on the other hand, bas opened ber doors to the refugees, and it is said that there are severs! thousand of them at that place already. The BeTefonte, Pa., Watchman offers the following solution of the financial question : An easy, a simple, and certainly a speedy way to relieve the financial stringency, would be j to issue 4'greenbacks" and redeem the out? standing interest-bearing Government bonds. This would put io circulation millions of dol . lars of tbe most acceptable money the govern? ment has ever provided the people with, aud at the same time stop the payment of interest, that so largely red a ces the revenues of the government. . It is currently reported that the City Council has passed an Ordinance permitting the sale of cigars, tobacco, fruits, soda water, besides medicines, milk and ice, on Sundays. This alleged action has created cocsidera'ole dis? cussion, many regarding it as opening H door to trading on Sunday on a larger scale tba:* heretofore. We are not advised as to the terms of the Ordinance, and cannot, therefore, speak with certainty ic reference to it. We presume it will te published according to law, BO that people interested may be informed of its provisions. DECLARED UNGO??STITTJ TIONAL. Judge Simonton of the U. S Circuit Court, sitting in Greenville S. C., in the c?se of the State of S. C. against Langford. Agent of the R SD. R. B. at Prosperity, for receiving and delivering whiskey in violation of the Dispensary law, has filed bis decision declaring that the 25;h section of the Dispensary act is in violation of the j Inter-state Commerce laws and of the 14th ? amendment to the constitution of the United States. The Judge says that the aforesaid secci?n "discriminates against one class of people-railroad employees-and is io conflict with the Constitution of this State and so not within its police power, and therefore not within the provisions of the act of Cengress known as the Wilson set. This being the ease, tbe clause of the 25th Sectios of the Dispen? sary act under which the petitioner was charged and arrestad ia void under the Inter Stale commerce law and the 14thamendment," Probably the case will be carried up to the U. S. Supreme Court, by the State, for if al? lowed as anal, the dispensaries are bound to suffer, because people who wish liquor, but do not desire to buy it a? the dispensaries, will have it shipped to them from outside the Stale. As these shipments increase, the rev ease of the dispensaries will decrease. It is a very interesting situation, and the progresa of the case will be followed with close attention by people h^re and elsewhere. It will not help to make the Governor's trip to Chicago pleas in ter to know that at home bis favorite creation is suffering from an at? tack by a Federal judge. THE WORLD'S FAIR. CHICAGO, Aug. 19th, 1893. Our greetings go with this to our readers and home-folks in general, wishing they were all here to witness some of the marvels of this greatest of International Expositions. To endeavor to describe the Fair would be to attempt the impossible. No description could be adequate to convey more than a con? fused and vague idea cfit. Grand, immense, wonderful, aud ?ll the adjectives in genera!,' or even in extraordinary use, expressive of greatness, vastness and impressiveness, could justly be employed in describing this fin dc tieclc gathering of the kingdoms of the earth, aod their peoples aud products, but the indi? vidual e\e must see, and the individual ear must hear, and the individual mind must contemplate and reflect for itself, in order even partially to ta'$e ir. and assimilate tbs beauties, glories and wonders of the Fair. Our letter, then, will not undertake to do more tbau attempt to convey to our readers a gt ceral conception of the plan cf the exhibi? tion, its scope, the conveniences at hund for the comfort ?nd protection of visitors, and such other things as one, m a general way. would desire to kuow about it. A rough baif-circle. containing 640 acres or one sq ire mile of surface, fronting e^st on L*ke Michigan the length <>f a mile or more, ts,about the size and shape o? the F dr grounds, except that on the west side ?nd about half? way of the semicircle, the Midway Plaisance I is situated, wherein are to be found what ?re j known A3 the "special concessions," aud are, j as a rule, village, encampments, palaces, j bazaars, and theaters, descriptive and illustra- j tive of foreign lands and peoples, their modes j of living, amusements, employments nod j ?industries. Ia the Plaisance, toe, is the great Ferris j Wheel, and the Ice Railway, and Hagen- j bach's trained animals, and other tike things, j A calculation of the cost of visaing ali these \ wonders, exclusive of the co3t of admission, ! yields this result; that it would take about j $13.60 to see them, even if one bought no souvenirs, as he most likely would,.' the; forei?rj<rrs and their American salesmen ^i* guished in the costumes of th?ir employ?. > ! are most clamorous and persistent in their t? q lests, we might almost say, demands, tc boy These are a number of pl?jn and un*dui leraied fake? tn the Pi a isa nee, and in some ol the S'^iiftt theatres, the exhibitions arc of < ch*rac!?*? *?> ??<??. has te and immorally suif*"^ t.ve, :hat th-y should not bc U?icra?e4 u.i u?e grounds, and are enjoyable only by persons of a depraved taste. This ?8 the general ver? dict on this subj ct, and it is given here by way of warning to those who do not care to find themselves in places that can only corrnpt and vitiate the moral nature and sense. Many things, of course, are well worth seeing, and one in strolling through the Plaisance, (from which one may enter the Fair proper without additional pay, and vice versa) may see many foreigners in' their national costumes, and bear a babel of foreign lan? guages, which is apt to make him think him? self present and assisting at tbe original scene ot the "confusion of tongues." Leaving the Plaisance now, our further re? marks will be applicable to tbe Fair grounds aod their contents, and the methods of getting within the gates of the Magic City. Coming from tne beart of the city of Chi? cago to the Fair, one may take the elevated steam cars all along from Congres* Street to the Fair, at stations placed at intervals of two or three blocks. The fare is five oents, and the trip even from the terminus, vhich is probably eight or nine miles away from tbe Fair itself, will occupy not more than a half hour. Should you desire another mode of travel, electric and cable cars, in plenty, will take you -for the same fare, though they are somewhat slower than the elevated road. An? other way is to take the Illinois Central World's Fair trains at stations all along the eastern side of the city, direct to the central station or union depot on the grounds, where are ticket offices and gates of entrance and exit. Still another way is to take a steamer at one or the wharves in the city and ap? proach the Fair from the Lake Front, landing at a pier quite near the peristyle, of which more anon. By this last method, one gets a comprehensive view of almost the entire White City as tbe boat travels along the eastern front, and, perhaps, one gets a view more magic and beautiful in this than in any other way of ap? proach, for a high board runs around the other sides of it and shuts it out from sight, until your half dollar gives you the right to enter. Should you enter from any otber than the water side, it is best perhaps to take the iutra-mural elevated road and ride from one ead of it to the other. This ride takes you among and around many of the buildings of the Fair, giving yon also a passing view of tbe Plaisance, and affords a fair, general oppor? tunity of seeing the grounds and getting, by the aid of the map with which you will have provided yourself, some idea of how the build? ings are situated. For instance ; if one takes the intra-mural at the terminal station, wbicb is not far from the 63rd street entrance, and goes north, he will pass most of the group of state buildings and the buildings of the foreign group, and land at the "north loop," very near the U S. government building, and not far from the Palace of Arts. Not getting off the train, you go around the loop back over the same ground to the starting point, and thence by a circuitous route to the "south loop," which lands you near the Convent of La Rabida, ?nd the Krupp gun exhibit, and , the Indian school. All ibis for one fare You will then be better- prepared to determine where you wish to begin sight-seeing, for it is f hopeless to expect that you will ever, io a - limited stay, make an end of it, except by j coming away. [ But suppose you decade not *o adopt this ; method, but to begia sight-seeing at once, though it is better to have a general knowl? edge of the field before you start out: En? tering, we will suppose, at 63d Street, you pass towwds the right, and through or by the "terminal station" to the Administration building, which fronts tbe lagoon on the West, though between it and the lagoon is quite a space, where are benches and band? stands Immediately at the lagoon are three I fountains, one ta the middle and one on each I side, which are, several times each week, illuminated by electricity, showing the colors of the rainbow, and many different forms, as arches, columns, bouquets of flowers, sheaves of wheat. These effects are simply beautiful beyond description, but like so many other tbings there, mu3t be seen to be appreciated. The lagoon, runs East to the lake, but arms of it extend North around tbe Wooded Island, which is an enchanting pince itself, to the j Art Palace, and near the State* buildings, and also South to where the caravels of Co? lumbus are and the old wbaleship ..Progress" which is anchored in "South Pond." By I taking stearn launch or gondola one may, for ? quarter, ride from one end of the lagoon to j the other The boats stop at all the principal ! buildings. Near the last end of the lagoon and ri?ing on its pedestal in the water, is the gigantic gild.-J statue of Liberty, facing West. Be? hind it rises the Peristyle, a beautiful rounded arch, with a magnificent Grecian colonnade on each side, running North and South, under which the boats pass from the lake to the lagoon or vice versa. On 'he North and South sides of the lagoon are other buildings of the Fair, forming, with the Administration build I ing and the Peristyle, what is known as the Grand Court. When this is illuminated at night by lei* thousand incandescent lights, along the sides of the lagoon, and the facades and towers and domes of the buildings, one is translated into fairy laud without an tffort, and marvels in silence at the beauties and glories which art and man's device have been able to Hchieve. At this point, we must leave our readers to work their further way assisted by guide book and tbe ubiquitous Columbian Guards, several thousand of whom patrol the grounds ?nd are ready to answer ail proper questions. Restaurants and cv fes abound even where, in j the "Bureaius of Public Comfort" and else- ! where. The prices in all of them ate exor- j bitant. Hence it is best to tuke a lunch into the grounds with you, and wait for dinner until you come out. The Fair close s at 10 o'clock p. m.. but if one goes in at about that bour of the tuoru ing, be is generally ready to come out at about five in the afternoon, for be will be very leg weary by that time, beside? which his receptive faculties will have ceased to work, having reached their capacity. After that, one may stroll by many things worth examining, but they will make no impression on his mind, though his eyes are wide open. He will then realize that he has seen enough for one day. He may temporarily stimulate his jaded faculties by a ride on the intra? mural, or on gondola cr launch, but nothing except sieep and rest and food will enable the mind and body to recover their equilibrium. One may have all the Sterilized water he wants at the many drinking fountains placed inside and outside the buildings, all over the ! ground, and the toilet cooveniences, free and pay, are also numerous and fairly well kept. Besides fire-extinguishers all over the build? ings, there ate several regular steam fire engine houses in the grounds, ready at a moment's notice to move. A hospital is on the {-rounds where injured persons are care? fully treated free. Mothers may leave their babies io charge of experienced nurses at the children's building, while they are seeing ihe sights, and, we may say in brief, that every comfort and convenience has been considered and provided for visitors. The system is com? plete. As to expense : One may live for from $2 50 a day up to any figure he pleases. Room per day, 50 cent3 up ; food, (breakfast, 25 c , Inoch, 20, dinner, 25) 70 cents up ; entrance to fair, 50 cents ; car fare, 30 cents; extras, 50 cents ; total, $2.50 One cannot comfort? ably get on under ranch less than this, but he can at this ?gure, and, of course, he can make it as much more expensive as he pleases. One in Chicago is no more than a wisp of str?wor a clwd of dirt, seemingly, in tbeesti I marion of the hurrying throng?, but rsdeness I is rare, and if one keeps out of places where he has no business, he will roost likely, in Chicago ?s elsewhere, escape being sand? bagged or robbed. We feel that we have tired our readers out ?nd must s'op with this very well meant, but reahZ'-diy very imperfect accomplishment of our wif-imposed task Perhaps, at a calmer j moment, we will trv it again. Meanwhile ' bid di og you all ' au revoir,'' we close for the j present. (En.) ! Free Scholarship. Palmetto Collegiate Institute, Lexington, S.

The Alliance picnic was held ai St. Charles on last Thursday as announced, and was at? tended by about 500 persons. It is regretted that the Watchman and Southron could not be represented, but circumstances prevented. The following summary ?3 made from the report by the Herald : The picnic was held in the grove at the residence of Mr. R E. Wilson near the depot, where a stand for the speakers bad been erected. The speakers of the occasion -ere Hon. H. T. Abbott, our Senator; Hou. W. D. Evaos, of Marlboro, president of the State Alliance ; Hon. Jas. E. Tindal, Secretary of State ; and Hon.D P. Duncan, manager of the State Exchange. The speaking commenced at about 11.30 o'clock. The meeting was opened with prayer by Mr. B. F. Wilson. Hon. H. T. Abbott wa9 the first speaker, and after a short address of welcome, he gare a good alliance talk. He touched on some of the principal demands of the alliance, and made a telling speech. He was listened to with close attention throughout. The Doctor is a yoli*bed and eloquent speaker. Dr. Abbott, in closing, introduced Hon. W. D. Evans. -Mr. Evans commenced by saying that be was not there ss a public speaker but simply as an allianceman to talk to alliance men. He said that the alliance in this State had bein led off from its purposes and objects by factional State politics, and it should have devoted more time to national affairs. The greatest interest of the alliance bad been subordinated to local matters Mr. Evans said there was no politics tn this meeting, and that the alliance had nothing to do with State politics. Be denied the charge that the order is a political organization. He read the principles of the alliance and told the audience to study those principles and act upon them. In alluding to Clemso College the speaker claimed that it was the work of the alliance. He said, financially, worse than nothing had been accomplished. Mr. Evans then went on to discuss the alliance demands: free coinage of silver and gold, and increased circulation of currency and a re? duced tariff He said that the interests of the 'cotton planters in the South were identical with those of the grain growers of the West, and went on to show how an increased circu? lation would benefit both. The banking system was also discussed by him. and the position of the alliance made plain It was time Congress was getting to work aud do* ing something to benefit the people. The currency question was all-absorbing and effected all classes. Alliance demands will be the issue in the next campaign. Mr. Evans laid special stress on the work ladies should do in alliances. He was listened to very attentively, and made a conservative speech with no politics in it, saying that the alliance did not prop- se lo make war upon anybody. Mr. Edwin Wilson then introduced Hon. Jas. E. Tindal as the next speaker. Mr. Tindal said there ought not to he any politics in this meeting and lhere was none. He would have refused to speak had such been the*case. He was not here in the interest of politics, but of the alliance. The speaker said he went into the alliance after his poli? tical battle had been fought. The or? ganization was essential to personal liberty and justice and agriculture and to preserve equilibrium of government. Agriculture had predominated and run the government prior to the war, and it was the grandest govern? ment of the world. There were very few 1 millionaires at that time, but since the war farmers have bad no control of government. The farmers have neglected their duty as citizens, and were to blame themselves for their condition. Congress bas been called together to help out the bauks, and we all sympathize with the banks, but Congress should do something to help the farmer as well. You haven't got the manhood and sense to stand up for yourselves. The alliance sought to purify the political and business atmosphere, and build up the moral tone of the people. A corrupt and subservi? ent pces9 was one of the great evils the alliance had to contend with, especially the city papers of the North. This is aa age of scramble for money and the farmers suffer most because the scramble is over their pro ducts. The alliance had saved the banks by stopping speculation in a large measure. The grange was the first organization for the farm? ers, and through its efforts, just after the war, we now have a railroad commission The grange went to pieces, and farmers hao no control of government now, and their neglect had caused it. Prejudice is the fort? ress cf business-and political rascality, and does not only rule the ignorant man, but the most highly educated The speaker discussed the evils of prejudice to some extent, and showed up the alliance demands. Mr. Tin dal's speech was more lengthy than the others, but he held the close attention of the (eople from start to finish. Mr. ?, M Wilson, chairman of the commit? tee of arrangements, then announced that the meeting would adjourn fordinner, and such ! a dinner ! The tallie was spread in the rard of Mr. R. E. Wilson, and wss one of the i nicest dinners we have ever had the pleasure of enjoj ing. Three tables had io be spread to accommodate ihe crowd, tut there was no crowding, and everybody was provided with a plate and knife and fork just as if h? were ai home. Th?? chinning lady wailers allowed no one to suffer for lack of attention, and, all in all. was decidedly the best conducted pic? nic dinner we have ever seen. After dinner the young folks and the old folks gathered about in groups and engaged in "social converse sweet" until the meeting was calls-d together again, when Mr. Edwin Wilson introduced Hon. D. P. Duncan. Mr. Duncan spoke mostly about the Slate Ex? change, its benefits to the al lian cernen, and said the exchance was the right arm of the alliance. He also touched on the leading principles of the order. He said a great many witty things and told humorous anecdotes, which kept the crowd roaring with laughter part or tue time. He showed the many ad? vantages of the exchange, and much good will come from his speech. He was ihe last speaker, and thc meeting WAS adjourned im? mediately afterward. About six o'clock the crowd began to disperse. We heard a great many express themselves as to the light they had received on alliance principles, and there is no doubt but that the meeting wi i I result m material good to the order in this county. Much credit is due the efficient and polite com"dttee of arrangements for the admirable way in which the meeting was conducted. All thespeeches were conservative in tone and decidedly non-political. From Our Resident Correspondent. ST. CHARLES, S. C., Aug. 21st, 1893. Mr. Editor: The Alliance picnic was a com plvte success, in the judgment of your humble servant. Mr. Edwiu Wilson, mailer of cere? monies, culled upon Mr. B. F. Wilson to open the meetiag with prayer. Dr. Abbott in his usual f'elicitious and happy style delivered the address of welcome. The Hon. W. D. Evans, President of the State Alliance, in a very graceful and easy manner, explained the principles, purposes and aims of the order. The Hon. J E. Tindal gave us an elaborate and able argument as to the duties of the farmers lo rnliv around au organization de? signed for their fiuancial, moral and educa? tional beue'it. He admonished ihe fuimers to cast aside all prejudice, ill-will and political animosity. To ?ct together for their mutual good, aa other persons do. Mr. K. M. Wilson announced, ?8 the intel? lectual man had been fed, we now proceed to refresh the inner mau. 1 may not be a com peteut juror as to politics and pleaching, but wheo it comes to the mailer ot diel, I yield my opinion to none. I say to my lady friends that their dinner was splendid, well prepared, served with courtesy and a smiling welcome. Mr. I). P Duncan, business manager of ihe Farmers' Exchange, gave the aliiancemen some very plain talk as to their duties towards the exchange. Mr. Duncan carried ihe audi? ence wiih his inimitable wit, solid sense and amusing anecdotes. I was giad io meet with so many of my friends of both fact iona. We farmer?, don't propose to live in tsolaiion. We don't intend to iel uur politics impair our persoual friend? ship or good-will for each other. fiie crowd in attendance was about fi ve hundred. After the speaking the young men repaired to the base ball ground, on the pre inises of .Mr. A. A. Brearley, to witness a mitch game between Carters and Mt. Clio. The game was called a? the seventh inning, the score standing 14 to lt. in favor of Car? ters. S D. M. LACOSTR. Confederate Veterans -Attention !
