GOV. TILLMAN BEFORE A PROHIBITION AUDIENCE. He Defends the Dispensary as a Means of Promoting Temperance and Making Money. He Doesn't Convince. Prohibition Park. Su ten Island, Jane 4.-Governor Tillman of Sooth Carolina presented State agency plan for the solution of the liquor question to an andiene? of 2, ODO Prohibitionists at this evening's session of the Interna? tional Temperance Congress. The Gov? ernor's hearers did not agree with him as to the plan, but they listened close? ly to tbe end, and found some points at which they could applaud without doing violence to their consciences. At other times they loudly expressed their disapproval. . Before the arrival of Governor Till? man, Col. Alexander S. Bacon, of Brooklyn, made an appeal for the rais? ing of $2,500. At this peint tbe elec? tric lights went ont and tbe auditorium was in darkness. A score of lanterns were brought in and the guest from Souita (Sro?ea iasvled forward, io semi-darkness. Ee was introduced ' by the Rev. Dr. fi. L. Wayland, of Phila? delphia. Governor Tillman began by saying that he wished there were more light so thai he could look the people in the eye and have them look him io thc eye, and tell whether be was tell ing tho truth. Continuing he said : "I have coma a long wayaod left my. offi dal duties in the interests of truth and right. I have heard a great deal of the sessions I have attended of "Sand" and "backbone." It has been said that I possess those qualities. I will say that I will show to-night that I am willing to assert my convictions in any audience, and I am goiog to con? trovert your dearest ideas, and firmest beliefs. I am probably the only poli? tician present. I have been elected Governor of a State, and I am a can? didate for the United States Senate and expect to be elected." The Governor then went on to say that he bas not exactly a politician in the ordinary aceepU%>n of tbe ?erm. He said that he arwsys spoke bis con? victions, and that was not characteris? tic of politicians. He said that he was a farmer, that his gubernatorial posi? tion was his first office. He announced that he proposed to have" his say and if any one in the audience wanted to throw rocks at him be would throw rocks back. Then, drawing himself to his full height, he said in tones thai made the rafters ring : "I am here tonight to tell you that prohibition don't prohibit, and never will prohibit. We. bave got a plan in South Carolina that completely wipes out saloons, and we have done more than you have. Now I am a temper? ance man. (Applause.) I never drank five gallons of whiskey, ali told, in my life. (Laughter.) I sometimes take a social glass with my friends, but I don't like the staff." The ' Governor theo produoed a bottle of whiskey with the Sooth Carolioa la? bel. He waved it like a firebrand in the faces of the total abstainers, and described tbe State dispensary plan. He said that prior to the decision by the Supreme Court of the State there were sixty-six d ispeo a ries rn operation, and the State had paid out $379, 000 for liquor; $57.000 for bottles, and $37,000 for labels and other ex? penses. From the total outlay of $475, 000 and with $98,000 worth of liquor on hand. $567,000 worth had beeo sold, and a net profit of $100,000 to the Sute and $84,000 to the counties had been realised. He said that the quality of the whiskey was chemically pure, so that the people quit having a headache when they got drunk on it. He said a moment later that no one got drunk on dispensary whiskey ; they got drunk on blind tiger whiskey, which be said they bid io holes io the ground or toted io their boot legs. He stirred up the audience by declar? ing that prohibition would never be established by votes. "Give us a chance," said a man in front. This brought forth a volley of applause. Theo the Governor shouted : 44 You are not ready te remove the government tax on whiskey." "Yes, we are," came from all paru of the hall. "Theo you are blinder than I thought you were/' said the Governor. ? moment later he alluded to pro? hibition as "narrow mindedness," and complained that the audience would only go half way with bim. Tbeo be said : "Before you are a dosen years older you will see half tbe States in the Union following the example of South Carolina." "Never," snouted a woman delegate. "If you can't get probibitioo will you take the dispensary V asked the Gov? ernor. There were a hundred noes, and one man in the back of the bali said yes. 4'That is eoeouragiog" said tbe Gov? ernor. He said that in all the country districts of South Carolina and nearly all the towns, public sentiment is io favor of the dispensary law and it will be carried out eventually. He went on : "So far as backbone is concerned, I have as much as any other man, but when you Uokle the liquor trade entrenched behind iU hundreds of millions, you need to have the back? bone of the statue of liberty." The Governor left for the Sooth after the meeting adjourned at 9:45 p. m. The som of $350,000 was appro? priated to defray the expenses of the Constitutional Convention for New York, and the indications now are that ' this will not be more than enough to pay the printing bill. Constitutional Conventions come high. The New fioad From Augusta to Charleston. There is DO farther doubt of the Atlantic Coast Line building a route to Augusta from Charleston. The pre? liminary work was begun May 31st, wheo the survey of the line ?as com? menced. Col. Fleming Gardner, of the Atlantic Coast Line system, was in Charleston preparing to begin the survey of the new road between Ashley Junction and Augusta. Col. G-ardoer is the engineer who will be io charge of the survey. A reporter for the News and Courier saw him at the Osceola Hotel and asked him for some in? formation regarding the proposed road. Col. Fleming said that there were very few facts which he could give, bat' they were entirely at the disposal of the public. He bad ordered instru? ments for making the survey down from Orangeburg. These had arrived and had been sent out to the Junction. He expected a party of workmeo down io time to join him at the Jonc? tion and begin work to-day. He did not miod stating that he had been ordered to make a preliminary survey of the route between Ashley Junction and Augusta and to furnish at the game time estimates regarding the cost of constructing such a Hoe. He was unprepared at this time to say what direction the rout? would take. It was one thing ta talk about "air lines" and another to build them, v He had had some experience in building air Hoes through the sand hills of Aiken and he knew the difficulties attending such an undertaking. The air line might get along well enough up to Barnwell Court House, but after that its troubles would begin and continue clear to the river. Further than this he had nothing to say regardiog the new lin?. He had been ordered to make a preliminary survey from Charleston to Augusta, aod he would begin work on it with a full force of hands this morning. The proposed line has beguo to attract a great deal of. .attention not only in Charleston " but in all of the cities to the westward, and the scheme, at first looked upon as being in the nature of a "bluff," is now treated as a very serious matter. Io the last few days ;? reporter for the News and Courier has be?rd a great maoy inter? esting discussions concerning it, a reproduction of the leading features of which will be peculiarly apropos just at this time. When the first rumor regarding the proposed line was published a week or ten* days ago it was stated that the Louisville sud Nashville system was io some way connected with the scheme. The belief in this statement has daily -gained ground until now it is every? where accepted that shat system will be largely interested in the new road actually a joint owner and controller of it with the Atlantic Coast Line Of course, the Louisville and Nashville does not appear openly in the matter. The survey is being made in response to orders from Mr. H. Walters, of the Atlantic Coast Line, and this latter system is openly announced as the projector of the new road. Neverthe? less it is now generally accepted that the Louisville and Nashville is a silent partner in the scheme, but a partner who is taking a very vivid interest in the new road. Many people thisk that the determination to build such a road originated immediately upon the sale of the old South Carolina Road to its present owners. - Both the Louisville ad Nashville and the Atlantio Coast Line systems had an interest in that sale, and it is an open secret that neither of them were much pleased with the result of it. It is now con? ceded everywhere that the Louisville and Nashville people were badly out? generaled when the South Carolina Read passed under the control of Messrs. Parsons. That the Louisville and Nashville system intended to pur? chase the South Carolina Railway no one now doubts for ao instant. The system has large interests in Charles? ton. At an expense of not less than $1,000,000 it had acquired large hold? ings of the South Carolina Road's se? curities. It held an expensive lease of the Georgia Railroad, and it was seek? ing an outlet oo the Atlantic Ocean, In the face of these facts it is impos? sible to doubt that the Louisville and Nashville managment contemplated the purchase of the Sooth Carolina Rail? way property. The Messrs. Parsons bought the road, and what is now the condition of affairs? Tbe Louisville and Nashville system saw $1,000,000 worth of securities wiped ont of exist? ence, and naturally feel pretty sore over it. It still has large interests io this city ; it wants to tap a South Atlantic port and it controls at great expense the Georgia road, covering more than half the gap between it rails and Charleston. The Atlantic Coast Line system, on the other hand has a deep interest io reaching Augusta. It used to do a splendid business in the Southwest, but was shat out entirely when the Richmond and Danville system obtain? ed control of the Charlotte, Columbia and Augusta Road. Tbe Atlantic Coast Line has looked towards the reoovery of this lost ground. Some years ago it started to build a road to Denmark. Having constructed part of this link the management suspended operations temporarily to construct the Wilson Short Cot. As soon as this was done work was again resumed on the Denmark extension, and the road is now nearly completed. Many peo? ple say the building of this Denmark Hoe is the strongest argument against the belief that the Atlantio Coast Line is io earnest in regard to the pro? posed Hoe between Charleston and Augusta. But the conditions have cbaoged very materially since the Denmark Hoad was begun. When the Alantic Coast Line started to com? plete its road to Denmark many persons supposed that the Louisville and Nash? ville system was bound to buy the South Carolina property. It is said that there was an understanding between the two systems by which the Atlantic Coast Line was to have every facility for doing business through Augusta as soon ss the Louisville and Nashville system had control of the South Caro? lina Road. But all of these little plans were knocked in the head by Messrs. Pare?os. The Louisville aod Nashville not only did not get the South Caro? lina Road, put were done out of a cool million by their opponents, and tbe Atlantic Coast Line found that it did not have facilities for doing business from Augusta southwest, even with a road to Denmark, which it had expect? ed. After this new turn of affaire it is said that the two big systems got together and begun to figure on a way of getting themselves out of the hole into which they had been placed by the Messrs. Parsons. Ooe of them had vast interests in the West which sought an ocean outlet, and the other had equally great interests on the seacoast which sought coooeotion with the West. The gap lay between Charleston and Augusta. It is not a very big gap, only about a hundred miles in round numbers, so the survey of a line to the bridge was ordered. This is a resume of the rumors which are afloat regard? ing the new line which Engineer Fleming Gardner will start to make this morning. A great many well in? formed men now believe that the road will actually be built. President Milton H. Smith, of the Louisville and Nash? ville system, and Mr. H. Walters, of the Atlantic Coast Line, have recently been together a great deal, and it is supposed that this connecting link be? tween the two systems was the object of their consideration. The people of Cbarlestoo are, of course, delighted over the chance even of such a road being constructed. The new road would unquestionably prove a great factor in her industrial and commen?ai advancement, and if it should turn out that the Louisville and Nashville is really interested in the s?beme it would make this city what she should be and bas loog dreamed of being, the ocean terminus of ooe of the most powerful railway systems io America.-Charleston News and Cou? rier. Against Discrimination. Washington, June 2.-The Inter? state Commission in an opioioo by Commissioner Clements, bas decided, the cases of the Cincinnati Freight Bureau against tbe Cincinnati, New Orleans and Texas Pacific Railway Company and others, and the Chicago Freight Bureau against the Louisville, New Albany and Chicago Railway Company and others, in favor of tbe complainants. The Commission decided that the division of territory between the Eastern and Western lines provided for io the Southern Railway and Steamship Associations is without warrant in law and appears to be made for the benefit of the carriers, without regard to the interest of tbe shippers in tbe territory so divided, to whom it is in effect a denial of the privileges of shippiog their goods or produce to market by the line or route they may prefer. The provisions of the agree? ments of the Southern Railway and Steamship Association for the payment of "penalties" by its members are tanta? mount to a pooling combination. The complaints relate to rates from Cin? cinnati and Chicago to Southern points and the Commission orders important reductions in rates on all the different classes of freight articles carried between these poi o ts. WHAT RAILROAD MEN SAY. All of the prominent railroad men gathered arouod the rooms of tbe South? ern Railway and Steamship Association yesterday, representing the leading lines of the West, wheo questioned with respect to the recent decision of the United States Court at New Orleans on the question of long and short hauls, said it would work to the injury of the roads considerably. They say if the order is upheld by the United States Supreme Court it will simply mean that the railroads of tbe country will have to get them? selves together and make out a new schedule of rates between all points that have heretofore been enjoying special through rates by reason of the long haul contracts. This will bring not only a great deal of trouble to tbe roads themselves, but will make the rates to the cities much higher than they have been under the old rule that is now in operation. It is iodeed doubtful whether or not the roads can give the special rates to towns or not since they would have to make the same figures for every little station between that town and the next through shipping point nearer the place from which the freight came. For in? stance if Augusta gets a cheap rate by reason of competition at that point with roads from other directions every town this side of Augusta on the line of roads giving the reduction will have to have the same rate. In other words no rate can be higher to a point at shorter distance than that allowed to a point at further distance. The well known railroad men all say the decision, if upheld, will be a most disastrous one.-Atlanta Constitu? tion. Lynched in Yorkville. Y ORR VILLE, S C, Jane 2.-Jeff Crawford colored, was lyuched this morning at 1:30 o'clock. At that hour, a crowd called at tbe county jail aod waked op the Sheriff, telling him they had a prisoner. He had heard that there was talk of lyoching Craw? ford, and he refased to open the jail. The crowd broke ioto the jail. Craw? ford was found in the dungeon and taken near the Chester and Leuior depot. Fifteen minutes were given bim in which to make his peace with God. He confessed to having murdered Mr. D. A. Blackburn. He was swung up and a few bullets fired through his body. Mr. D. A. Blackburn was found dead last autumn near Bock Hill. His body was horribly moltilated. Jeff Crawford was suspected of having committed the crime. He was arrest? ed, tried, convicted and sentenced to to ne bung on June 1. An application for a new trial was made and was granted by Judge Watts. The - people would wait no longer for Crawford*? life to pay for his crime. Judge Lynch was appealed to and gave a speedy sentence. Tba Rice Crop. Dan Talmage's Sons, in a recent bulletin, speak as follows of the rice crop : Io the old rice-growing States along the Atlantic coast acreage is below average, as many of the planters are unable to secure requisite advances. Seoasoos io main fairly favorable. In Louisiana, notwithstanding encouraging prices, uncertainties of legislation in regard to sugar causing some to turn away from cane to rice and new planters, the acreage hardly promises to equal that of last year.. Weather conditions thus far contrary: Early too wet, more recently too dry. Crop abont one-half seeded and in fair condition. Considerable territory will depend on rainfall, bot wherever possible prepara? tions made for water supply. Deep ploughing is beiog resorted to on up? lands as experiences demonstrate that the plant is better able to withstand drought. Fertilizers beiog more gene? rally used, increasing yield 20 30 per cent. In his speech at the opening of the Immigration Congress in Augusta, Wednesday, Governor Tillman, of South Carolina, crowded a volume of hard sense into the declaration that however desirable immigration might be, or the good, that might come from it "the future of this section depends on the efforts of our own people, and what Southern farmers need most is an immigration of ideas ano of intelligent agricultural methods. Southern farm? ers would never prosper as long as they spent six months tn the year trying to kill the grass in their fields and the next six in bnying hay from Maine and other Northern States." lt is some? what remarkable that at this late day there should be ground for an utterance like this, and good groood, too. Immigration may benefit the immi? grants, and may indirectly benefit Southern farmers, but the Southern farmer's prosperity will, as Governor Ti ll ID an say s, depend mainly upon his own methods. When the methods are bad, the management shiftless, and the modes pursued in cultivation unintelli? gent, the farmer cannot expect pros? perity and if it should come it will be the result of combinations of circum? stances with which he has nothing to do, or from accident. * If a farmer spends six cents worth of labor or money in producing six cents worth of cotton, be may aiton the fence and whistle for prosperity ontil be is as old as Methuselah's cat, and prosperity will never hear the whistle, and the farmer who raises cotton at ordinary prices and looks to the granaries slaughter pens and hay fields of other States may do likewise. Southern farmers, however, are beginning to realize this, and the result has been a gratifying departure from old methods very perceptible io some States, whether it is Governor Tillman's State or not.-Wilmington Star The Darlington Cases. Col. Robert Aldrich of Barnwell and H. H. Bronson of Orangeburg, attorneys for McLendon and Cain, charged with the killing of Normeot and Redmond at Darlington, were in the city yesterday looking after their cases.. They went from here to Dar? lington to make some investigations. The Court of General Sessions for Darlington will be open on June ll and the grand jury will take charge of the indictments which will be haoded in by the Solicitor. It is not koown yet what will be the programme of the attorneys for the ac? cused men. They have not intimated what they will do. It is doubtful, how? ever, if they let the cases go to trial in Darlington County.-Columbia Register t June 1. ---->^M?-^ It will be remembered that a short while ago, Governor Tillman contribut? ed an article to the North American Review giving his side of the Darling? ton trouble. It was so manifestly one? sided and unjust to the people-, that Mayor Dargan, of Darlington, was requested, in order to set matters right, to write a reply io the same periodical. He did so, aod his publication will appear in the June number of that Review. Something that bas long been needed aod can uow be had, a full Hoe of 10c Sheet Music and Music Book.

ID the coarse o? human eveuts there was once a man who made violeut love to a reigning belle, chiefly because it was a fashionable and proper thing to do. He succeeded io working up quite a strongly developed sentimental feeling for ber and at last when time and occa? sion suited declared devotion. To his astonishment and dismay she accepted him promptly, effusively and without reserve. He was not a marryiog man -had no notion of being wedded to any? body. Cold chills ran down hts back as he contemplated his position and instead of the passionate demonstrations of happiness supposed to be customary in such emergencies he limply and weakly gasped that she was very kind lodced. Our friends the prohibitionists look to os to be io that game position. They have made violent love to prohibition for years. They have declared their pas? sion and devotion and called on beaven and earth to witness the height, the depth, the profundity of their love. Prohibition has fallen into their arms and they seem disposed to let ber drop. There has oot been a symptom of the ecstatic happiness we expected. Not a bell bas rung, not a bonfire bas blazed. Not a single caress has been bestowed. The reception bas been as cold and fiat and limp as an oyster a week out of water. If there is any genios of pro? hibition floating anywhere around she must fee! that she bas struck a remark? ably chilly atmosphere Our friends should brace up and make some demonstrations out of simple politeness.-Greenville News. The Soez Caoal Company is doiog something to take care of the De Les? seps family. It will give an annuity of $12,000 to the family of thirteen children and the same amount to Mrs. De Lesseps during the life of her husband. Af the Company makes a profit of about $8,000,000 a year it can afford to do this without straining its generosity. WASHINGTON LETTER. WASHINGTON, June 4, 1894. Senator Harris served notice on the repub? lican Senators that bis stock of patience was getting low, by lengthening the sittings of the Senate. It is not probable that be will keep the Senate in session later than 8 or 9 o'clock at night for tbe first few days, pro? vided reasonable progress be made with the tariff bill, but he is prepared to put 'the screws on even to the extent of a continuous session, if it be necessary to do so. It is the general belief that the last fight of the repub? licans will be made on the sogar schedule, add after that is adopted, as it is certain to be, they will probably agree to set a date for the anal vote. It is expected that the sogar schedule will be voted opon to-morrow, or the next day at the latest. Senator Gray was right wheo be said that the Senate investigating committee, of which he is chairman, bad been misrepresented. It certainly has been. The committee has been at work right along trying to get at tbe bottom of the scandalous charges made against Senators and members of the cabinet, 'although the impression has gone out, through Senator Hill's speech and news? paper publications, that after the committee reported tbe two correspondents to the Sen? ate for having refused to give their authority for charges, and requested the Vice President to certify, in accordance with the law, their case9 to the U. S. District Attorney for pre? sentment to the Grand Jury, the committe had folded its arms and sat down to await the punishment of the recalcitrant witnesses. Nothing could be further from the truth. The committee bas taken tbe testimony of every democratic member of tbe Senate Finance committee, of Secretary Carlisle and of Representative Warner, of New York, and several others and bas been diligent in its efforts lo secure the attendance and testimony of other witnesses who they have reason to suppose can throw some light on the matters being investigated* Senator Hill is making a fight to get the Senate to adopt a resolution instructing the committee to opec its doors during tbe remainder of the investigation, but there isn't much probability of bis success. It ts customary for the committees of the Senate to regulate their own sittings, the only case remembered by any Senator where a contrary course was pursued being when the Senate directed the committee that was investigating the Credit Mobilier scandal to do it openly, instead of secretly as tbe com? mittee bad began. Tbe scandal mongers made a very bad break several days ago when they started a story that President Cleveland and Sec. Carlisle were at loggerheads over the Senate tariff amendments. There were wide of the mark. From the beginning of the tariff legislation, President Cleveland and Secre? tary Carlisle have been in perfect accord. Had tbe aforesaid scandal mongers said that President Cleveland and Sec. Carlisle were both very sorry that some of the Senate amendments bad been made to the tariff bill they would have been in close proximity to the truth. The fight over tbe repeal of the tax on state bank currency is growing very warm in tbe House. Those who favor repeal have been from the first confideo t of succeeding and their confidence was strengthened by the ease with which they defeated a motion to switch off repeal by taking up other business, The vote is going to be close on this question and the result will, in your correspondent's opinion, be in doubt until the vote is offi? cially announced. If the w estera silver men in Congress know the sentiments of their constituents ex Speaker Reed has gained no western support for bis Presidential aspirations by bis pro? clamation, via London, in favor of silver, provided, that the friends of silver will join bim in favoring a high tariff. Mr. Reed's attempt to combine tbe silver and tariff questions was a very clever bit of political jugglery, but it has cot helped him along i even a, little bit towards tbe Presidential I nomination of bis party, although it bas i removed the mask he bas heretofore worn and placed bim squarely before the country as a candidate for the nomination. Mrs. Cleveland and the children will leave Washington this week for Gray Gables, where they will spend itbe summer. Presi? dent Cleveland will remain at the White House until Coogress adjourns but will try to spend a day or two with his family oc? casionally. Saturday was the eighth anni? versary of the marriage of President Cleve? land. There was no formal celebration of it, but a very pretty little incident occurred in connection therewith upoo the rear portico of the, White House. The leader of the Marine band, which was playing its regular Saturday afternoon concert in the White House ground, bad in compliment to the day selected a wedding march as the first piece of music on the programme. As soon as President Cleveland, who was on the por? tico with Mrs. Cleveland and the children recognized the wedding march be stooped over and tenderly kissed tbe baby. Go to D. M.
