A Tragic Death. While Mr. Marion Cato'e wagon was re- ! turning home from Pisgah Chnreh, Tuesday .night, the 10th instant, the male ran away and threw out his fifteen year old son, kill ing him instantly breaking his neck. The bridle bit broke while going down a hilt, and the animal became frightened. Others in the wagon were thrown ont, bat not seriously hart. Trial Justice Sbedd gave a burial per mit, as the cause of death was too plain to hold an inquest. Young Cato was buried at Pisgah Church Thursday morning a: ter fun eral' exercises by Rev. T. W. Scruggs. A targe number of people were present, who showed their respect and sympathy for Mr. Cato in his affliction. This isoae of the most heartrending accidents that has ever occurred in this section, and universal sorrow has been expressed at the untimely death of the young man. J. B. D. Pisgah, Jnly 14, 1894. ? Letter From Wedgefield. Wedgefield, S. C, July 17, 1894. The corn crop is very fine and cotton is doing as well as it possibly could. Farmers have worked very hard for the past eight days and have about conquered the grass which was everywhere in great abundance. We are having good showers to-day which were very much needed, and will do a great deal of good, provided, we do no : bave too mach. Peas and late corn are up to good stands and doing remarkably well. Wedgefield and "Brick Bate," will play another game of ball to-morrow. Wedgefield feels better equipped this time. Miss Evie Wilson returned to her home in Snmter yesterday after spending some time w :th her sister, Mrs. Dan. McLaurio. . Mrs. Elira Manning has improved very mach in health, and is visiting ber eon, Hon. Bichar? I. Manning. Mrs, J. F. Moseley is still quite sick. Mr. and Mrs. W. J. Troobl?field, of Packs ville, spent last Sunday in town. Mr. W. T. P. Sprott aod family, of For reston, spent last nigbt in town with rela tives on their way to the mountains in North Carolina. Malarial fever is very prevalent in the country around, but our town is, and has been all the year, remarkably healthy. Mr. W. T. Ay cock is spending some time in Columbia. _ ? ' Ionia Letter. Ioni-, S. C, July 16, 1894. I have not heard of anybody dying as yet, from starvation, though times, are hard. I think if we can get through five weeks more that we can make oat to live. We have the best crops in this section that we have had since '82. if we get one or two more rains, I don't think we will have much ase for Western corn next year, that is if no disaster befalls the, crop. Cotto is looking very well, but I think there has been too much rain in places for it. Farmers are about done ploughing crops for this time, or will get through this week. Haven't seen any candidates?don' t want to see any. Politics-are -not mach thought of, much less discussed in our berg. We are all, I think, disgusted with everything of the kind. I know that the Straigbtouts are, and I think the Tillmanites ought to be. . Dey Jim. A Letter From May es vil le. Mayes tills, S. C, July 16, 1894. The Chaplain of the Mayesville Volunteers, Rev. D. M. HcLeod preached & fioe sermon to that military organization at the Presbyterian church here on Sunday 15th inst. The com .paoy assembled at their armory about forty strong, aod were divided into two platoons and four sections, each section being under the immediate command of a commissioned o icer. As the company neared the chuitb, the organ pealed forth a march which cootinned until the entire command was at their seats. The choir was mede up of Mayesville'? best talent and the singing was good. The hymns were selected for aod suited the occa sion. The church was packed and every ooe expressed themselves as delighted with the sermon and well pleased with the Mayesville "Mclisk." The Volunteers will commence to work in earnest in a few days for the fair they propose inaugurating. A fair will be "jus-, the thing" lo enliven the town at this dull season of the year. It is proposed to enter two competing squads of the company to contest for a prize to be awarded to the best drilled squad aod another prize to be awarded to the best drilled man in the two squads-?the last will be the individual contest. This will be on the fair programme. We should have mentioned the fact in last week's issue of the W. ir S. that the complimentary dance held at the Masonic Hall on the evening of the 4th of July was a grand success, aod just here we wish to correct an error made in our last com. mnnication. In that letter we stated that Mrs. R. A. Chandler, was one of the cbap erooes of .the occasion. In this we were mistaken* : | g Vil. ? Sermon to the Mayesville Volun teers. Mayesville, S. C, July 16, 1894. The Rev. D. M. McLeod preached on last evening a most able and eloquent sermon at the Presbyterian Church to the Mayesville Volanteers, a- recently organized military company, A. M. Iziar, Captain. Mr. McLeod is Chaplain of the company. His discourse was certainly masterful and highly appre ciated. The church choir, with Mr. Harry H. Corbett at the organ, rendered some superb music. In addition to the regular church choir, Mr. and Mr3. S. S. Carroll, of the Bap tist Church, and Mrs. W. J. McLeod, Jr., of the Methodist Church, assisted in making some of the sweetest music listened to by your correspondent in many a day. The whole choir certainly deserves credit for the beautiful music rendered, as well as for the perfect time giren. Mr. Corbett certainly handled the organ in a easterly way. We long for another occasion like this one and hope it will not be long a coming, for it was certainly something to be remembered. The Mayesville Volunteers deserve great credit for the way io wbich they acted on this occasion, in keeping perfect time aud order. The company now numbers some thing over 40 and is continuing to grow. J. R. M. THE STATE CAMPAIO. The Events of the Week. THE BONNE At! MEETING. Ellerbe Jumps Bard an the Evans Slate?Ecans Criticises Ellerbe for Leaving the Alliance?He also says Mclcer and McGoican were Drunk. Sp*ecial to Augusta Chronicle. Bonneaus, S. C, July 11.?The fun was several stories itigli at the campaign meeting here today. Most of it was furnished by several bump tious Berkeley braves in the audience, but Ellerbe and Evans added to the enjoyment by vigorously slashing into each other. General Ellerbe is fast realizing that he is a gone coon if he does not smash the elate on which the public believe is written in large letters "For Governor, John Gary Evans." Ellerbe put on his war paint and declared that the country had been packed for Evans and that if the people did not keep their eyes skinned the Gary and Evans families would absorb all the offices. He charged that Spartanburg county had been stolen from him by Larry Gantt, who had previously written him that the county county was for him and that they could not stomach any lawyer for Governor. Evans shot back in a brief fashion. He intimated that during the dispen sary war in Darlington Ellerbe had eat in a bomb-proof in Columbia, drawing his salary. Ellerbe was "rotten" because he had joined the Alliance and then quit Evans made the astounding remark that, judging from their decision against the dispen sary law, Chief Justice Mclver and Associate Justice McGowan were drunk. Gen. Butler read extracte from the report of the State dispensary. He said : "I have presented extracts from Mr. Traxler'e report for the quarter end ing January 31st, 1894, on a former occasion, but the facts have never been grouped as I have them now. If they can be satisfactorily explain ed, I would be very glad to have it done as Ido not wish to make au unjust accusatiou against any man. Although Mr. Traxler may be pri marily responsible, and I ha ve no rea eon to doubt his honesty or integrity, Governar Tilfman's name^s signed to to the report, and of course he mnet etand by it. It will be seen that the column of assets when added up does not amount to ?280,347 27, but only to $260,634 16, and therefore the ac counts do not balance, the assets being abort by $19,713 11. "Now Governor Tillraan save this is a mistake of the printer, and that the $19,713.11 is accounted for on the oppposite page as "cash in the treasury." I must leave the public printer and Governor Tillman to settle the question of mistake, but granting that to be true, I don't see how that helps him, because the column of assets is still short, and does not balance with the liabilities. Gov. Tillman admits that he exceeded the appropriation of $50, 000 made by the Legislature. Sena tor Butler submitted a statement showing this excess to amount to $48,000. Continuing he said : Section 2 does not avail him, be cause the expenditure of $48,000 or $63,000 was made before he had sold a gallon of liquor. How can he justify his action, which is palpable in violation of the Constitution and laws of the State. If he can exceed the appropriation by ?48,000 he may by a million of dollars, so you can readily see where such loose administration will lead. There is one other phase of the administration which I cannot understand A friend has handed me a commission given by Gov. Tillman to R. V. Gantt of Lexington county. It is dated the 8th of Jauuary, 1894, and appoints him a special constable under the Dispensary Act. How i many of these special constables have ! been thus commissioned we do not j know. Gov. Tillman alone can inform us, if he will. In transmitting his commission to Mr. Gantt, Mr. D. A. "Thompkms,"private Secretary of the Governor, writes the following letter : State of South Carolina, Executive Chamber. Columbia, S. C, Jauuary 8, 1894. . V. Gantt, Esq , Grace/S. C. Dear Sir : Governor Tillman directs j me to send you the inclosed com j mission as a State Coustable, aud to I say that you will receive as pay ?25 j i for each conviction of a white man ! ! and ?10 for each conviction of a negro i !you secure and $2 for each seizure ! i He has no room on the regular for ; j you, but may'call on you sometime, j Very Respectfully, D. H. Thompkixs. Private Secretary. j It will be observed that Mr. Gantt is offered ?25.00 for th? conviction of I a white man, only ten dollars for the j conviction of a negro. Why this j discrimination against a white man I i confess J cannot comprehend. Per I haps that also may be explained. All these facts relate to the administra tion of the dispensary law aud do not touch the merits of the law itself. They are legitimate subject of in j quiry. Governor Tillman has made a j fair proposition to pay the expenses j of experte to examine the dispensary i accounts out of his contingent fund. 1 do not object to that, but it seems to me that it is imposing an extra and unnecessary expense upon the tax payers of tbe State as these matters j ought to be explained by those I charged with the administration of i the law. This, I believe, is the usual custom where public funds are en trusted to public officers. Governor Tillman replied to Gen. Butler by offering to have an exami nation of the dispensary accounts, and to sue Commissioner Traxler if there was any shortage. As to exceeding the approprition made for whiskey, he said he bought on a credit. He had offered a large reward for a white man because he thought he deserved that much more punishment than a negro, and he could offer whatever reward he chose to. The Governor berated Federal Judge Simonton severely, declaring that he ought to be impeached, be cuuse he had lent himself to money as against man. He called Congress a "set of scoundrels and driftwood," and said Mr. Carlisle bought his place in the Cabinet by changing hie views on silver. He denounced The Charleston News and Courier in unu sually vehement terms, saying it was "uujust, dishonest, malicious, slander ous, and villainous?an utterly vile and unreliable newspaper." CHARLESTON'S MEETING. From Tbe State. Charleston, July 12.? 'You can go to tbe devil your own way," was the loving invitation extended to the crowd of five thousand Charlestooiaos by Governor Tillman to-night from the court house balcony, and such yelling and jeering and hissing you never heard. Oh, it was a hurly-burly meet iog. Its like we will never look upon again. It was tit for tat between the Governor and the immense crowd. Tillman would hurl his double-distilled maledictions at Charleston, and back at him would come a thousand and one replies expressed in as many ways, and forcibly at that. The campaign meeting to-night bears a close resemblance to the one of two years ago, held on the same spot. The entire space in front of the city hall along Broad street, from tbe new post office half way to Church street, was filled with a seething, shouting mass of humanity. For the most part the crowd was good-natured, and was sim ply bent on giving Tillman as good as he sent. At every gubernatorial shot they would yell and hies and howl until "De doom of ole St. Michael" almost cracked. Several times there were symptoms of a fuss or a panic, and the crowd was stampeded right and left, as mounted police dashed through it. No one was seriously hurt, though possibly there were a score or more of bruised heads. The meeting was called to order at 8 o'clock by Chairman J. W. Kinloch, and Brother G. Walt Whitman led off with his hell gate illustration. The crowd had read it in the news papers before, and they gave the dy namite man some good-natured gags. He talked Reform, aod showed why the South Carolina College should be annihilated. Representative Yeldell had his bout for the railroad commissioners. He told the Charlestonians that they must bow to the will of the majority. The honest face of Dr. Tim merman, the Apollo Belvidere of Edgefield coun ty, next loomed up, and as tbe crowd took in the lineaments of manly pul chritude for which tbe Doctor is justly celebrated, they roared and laughed and poked all manner of fun at him. The Doctor spoke a good word for Charleston, aod was heartily applaud ed Governor Tillman was then intro duced, and the welkin almost cracked with a miscellaneous assortment of cries "This is the fifth time I have had the pleasure of appearing before the peo ple of Charleston and trying to poke some common sense into their beads from this spot," was the Governor's opening remark. It was greeted with a thousand bonis aod hisses. Every body began talkiog aod the Goveroor was drowoed out by the babel of voices. The Goveroor recounted his former visits to Charleston, remind ing them that on ooe occasioo they "all rao like a pack of cowards." He didn't want their votes a? be was going to be elected without them. All manner of yelling and hissing ensued. The Governor said when he was first elected he had appointed all the county officials recommeoded by Char?estOD aod he had the Citadel re built. He bad given Charleston a free ballot and a fair count. (Jeers.) "Why do you hate me? I am Dot to blame because you are behiod the times and because your street cars are ruo by mules instead of electricity. You are cut off from the whole State in progress, in sympathy aod io politics, and you cao go to the devil io your i own way if you want to, but you shall uot be allowed to take the whole State j along with you.'' This set the cowd boiling and they ; jeered the Goveroor for all they were worth. The chairman asked tbe crowd to hear him as he was their Goveroor. "Then let him talk like a gentle j man," was the respoose from tbe crowd. L The Goveroor told the crowd they ; were going to have the dispensary < again and he would see that it was enforced if it took a thousand metro politan police to do so and they couldn't : help themselves. "Sit down, we don't waot to hear I you," yelled some ooe. j "Of course you don't waot to hear ? me aod I bet you have a bliod tiger i witb four eyes right around tbe corner, 1 now," replied the Governor. The Governor tried to hold some hand primaries, bat the crowd would not let him He called them a set of political slaves and said all their public men were afraid of the whiskey influence. They were going to vote for Butler, not that they loved Butler more, but that they bated Tiilmao more. (Voice: "It is because we like to hear a gentleman.") The Goveraor lambasted the Fourth Brigade for not going to Darlington. A lot of hissing ensued, and be said he wished some one would start a drum and "run these fools away.'" (Voice : "You are safe.") Yes, I am safe for the Senate. I have got it in my pocket already. (Jeers and howls.) When I get to the Senate you will be around begging for postoffices and will swear you were not here tonight (Laughter and howls.) I know seventy-five or one hundred men have been brought here to turo this meeting into a howl ing mob. (Voice: "You are the man who did it.") I give you this parting shot: Your dealers better get rid of your whiskey, because I am going to open the dispensary again." Only those who were near the Gov ernor heard this, so deafening were the combined jeers and howls aod hisses that ensued. Gen. Butler was next introduced "I would say," said he, "if I didn't, know the Governor so well that he has had some of his dispensary whiskey." At this juncture the first stampede ensued. It was caused by a police man's collariog a man in the crowd. Io au instant all was coofusion. The crowd swarmed everywhere and yelled like madmen. Geo. Butler said he bad stood where the shots fell thick aod fast, aod there were not enough men io Charleston to frigbteo him. He was going to talk to the people if he had to remaio till mid night. "I have oever beeo able to uoder staod Goveroor Tillmao's ioteose hatred of the people of Charleston or the bitter ness of bis resentment against the city. So long as it is personal, oo great harm cao come of it, but when he uses the great powers of his office, which be should exercise impartially and justly, to oppress, harry and injure Charleston, he commits ao uopardooable aod gre vons wrong. "About the only offense of which Charleston appears to have beeo guilty is a determination to protect her rights of local self-government aod her own rights aod interests She may also have beeo guilty of the uoforgtveable sio of denying to Goveroor Tillmao the quality of moral, social and political io fallibility, aod taking him down from the sublimated heights where bis dis interested followers bad placed him and requiring him to live aod have bis beiog oo the same plaoe with ordinary mortals. If Cbarlestoo has done more thao this I am not aware of it. Io view of his vilification of the city aod some of her most distinguished aod best citizens, I think Charleston deserves much commendation aod praise for her forbearance with such a traducer. Few people would have shown so much, but I suppose you have acted upon the theory that vituperations of this order recoil upon their author, and be alone becomes the sufferer in the eod. For myself, I have known nothing of the past of Charleston and her present attitude but what commends my respect aod admiration. She is the metro politan city of the State, aod while she properly looks out for her owo interest she has oever failed to respond to the demands made upon her for whatever has affected all the people of the State and couotry. Realizing her great importance as the principal seaport city of the State, one of my first official acts was to secure ao appropriation to improve her harbor aod secure deep water over her bar to the sea." Geo. Butler bantered Tiilmao for not making bis attack oo Judge Simooton where hie friends aod neigbors were. "I am ready to do it, now," shouted the Governor from his seat. Gen. Butler replied that the old sol diers in the crowd knew what that j meaut. When Tillman had a chance to fire his gun he didn't shoot, He had spoken and then be had gone under cover. Demagogues, blatant and unpatriot ic, bave created a prejudice in the in terior against Charleston. I predict that Governor Tillman will go into the country and tell the farmers that Charleston bowled him down and try to make political capital out of it, (Voices : That's it,) when he him self provoked it by insulting you al most with his first breath. (Cheers for Butler. When he talks about the Charleston rings he forgets that this State and the newspapers are ringing with charges that there was a ring in the funding of the State debt. This riled the Governor, and coming forward, he said: "You give me three minutes and I will say the last word of it right here." Confusion confounded ensued and the Governor was finally hustled back to his seat. Gen. Butler then gave the Governor some nuts to crack on the refundment question. He read a brief of all the transactions in the funding of the State debt. The foregoing statement suggests the following inquiries : 1. How much of the appropriation of ?8,000 was expended in the fundtDg transaction, and for what? 2. How much of the funds of the siuking fund commission was expended, aod for what ? 3. Who recived the ?124,161.65? 4. If paid to Mr. Rh ind and his associates as appears to be the fact who were his associ?tes? 5. Whom did Mr. Kbiod represent, and to whom was he to look for com pensation. 6. What was Mr. Rhiod's financial staodiog ? Was it sacb as to justify his employment in so grave aod im portant a f?oaocial transaction involv ing so much to the taxpayers of the State ? It is claimed that the funding of the State debt was a great achievement io view of the existeoce of a distress ing paoic. I would not rob aoybody if the credit properly due them, but I must say that in my opinion the condi tions were not favorable for fuodiog tbe State debt. It was due the Legis lature had armed tbe commiesioo with the fullest powers. The eotire property of the people of the State was mort gaged to secure the debt. Millions of dollars were locked up awitiog invest ments io good ioterest bearing secur ities. Government bonds were draw ing only 3 per cent, ioterest. Georgia had refunded her debt at 3 per cent, aod our bonds ought to have been float ed at par aod at tbe highest 4 per cent. If they had beeo floated at that rate of ioterest without cost to tbe State you cao readily calculate a saviog there would have beeo duriog tbe life time of the boods, thirty years, I believe Ooe-half per ceot. oo $5,250,000 for thirty years would have saved a good round sum to the taxpayers. I am credibly informed that some of your leadiog banks here took $2,000,000 of the bonds aod paid par for them, which is a pretty good indication of their value. Gen. Butler was heartily applauded when be declared that he had never dooe aoythiog to divide the people. Secretary of State Tiodal got a good hearing, aod made a good speech, plead ing for noity among the people. He attributed the existing condition of things to tbe town people baviog mis judged the farmers aod misconceived their purposes. (Voices: "Tillman is respoosible.") He believed tbe rail roads bad done Charleston more barm tbao the war did. Mr. Tiodal declared that if elected he would do all he could to briog tbe people of the State to gether. John Gary Evans was greeted with a few cheers and a car load of hisses. He said he didn't mind the rattle snake hisses, but it was a humiliating spectacle. He cherished do malice agaiost them aod when in the Govern or's cbair he would pardon every ooe of them because they did not know what they were doing, All the blind Mice had congregated bere no der St. Mioheal's. Voice?"How much do you weigh wheo you are fat ?" Mr. Kirby Tupper asked Mr. Evaos if it was true that he had been paid $1 000 for protecting the Palmetto brewery aod that he had gotteo a royalty on the sale of the beer. "No, it's a lie," replied Evans ; aod Tupper called for three cheers for him. Evaos also said it was ao infernal iie about his haviog gotteo $15,000 for assistiog io refuodiog tbe State boods. He declared that the Charleston peo ple would oot support their owo iosti tutioos, but iovested their mooey out side of the S)ate. That was oot patri otic, aod the young meo ought to stamp it out. Voice?"Shut up." "I am here to say what I believe aod you have got to swallow it." Voice?"Tell us about the Black dis trict." Evaos?Your own Congressman told me that it was easier to carry it this way tbao if it bad been left as it was "What's his oarne ?" asked Kirby Tupper. "William H. Brawley," replied Evaos. 'It's a lie," shouted Tupper over aoo" over again. EvaDS replied that if Tupper waoted to call bim a lie to come at him when he was off tbe staod. Tupper bou ded forward aod was makiog for the staod wheo be was grabbed by a policemen aod a half dozeu frieods and rushed back ioto tbe crowd. Evaos cootinued, "You know me, Tupper, and I know you, and you know I will slap your face so damn quick you won't know it. If that man wanted to,fight, let him come to me somewhere else. It 19 fashionable to call men liars these days when they are on tbe stand, but it is oo evidence of aoythiog but tbe^coward." Evans thanked the crowd for their "kind attention," whereupon there was a sort of "hell-broke-loose-in Georgia" time. Comptroller Ellerbe got some rousiog cheers as be was introduced. He waoted those who thought his record was all right to vote for him for Gov eroor, aod those who did not could vote for his cousin John Gary. (Cries of "Oh, oo !") Evaos had pitched into him at Bonneau's, where he thought be bad a lot of frieods, but planed tbe dunghill to-day in not repeating it here. He then cracked some jokes at John nie's expense, getting cheers from the crowd. His remarks about Cleveland not being in sympathy with the pro ducing classes of the South and West met with assent from a score of throats. Col. William Elliott spoke oext. He defeoded Charlestoo, declaring she was oot respoosible for Tillmaoitc an imosity, and made a good speech con cerning national issues. The three last speakers were Col. D. A. J. Sullivan, runo?Dg for Congress from this district ; Col. Gary Watt? aod Mr. Mayfield. Mr. Sullivan spoke at leogth of the Decessity of baviog Charlestoo repre sented io Congress. He discussed the financial issues in s. somewhat desul tory manner aod then went oat io a blaze of anecdotes. He was called upoo for his views upoo the tariff, but he didn't accept the opportuoity to dis cuss it. Col. Jobo Gary Watts came oext. He referred to his connection with the Citadell aod said that personally he had pleasaot recollections of the city aod the people. His connection with the Adjutant aod Inspector General's office especially qualifield him for elec tion. He made some allusions to the failure of the militia to respond''to the call during the Darlington riot, which procured for him considerable jeering from the crowd. Mr. Mayfield closed the ball. The crowd had diminished down greatly aod be wisely refrained from extended remarks. He contented himself with saying that be was opposed to the fight against tbe South Carolina Col lege aod pledging his untiring support to every educational institution io the State. J. W. G. - * * mm ? The Fact that Hood's Sarsaparilla, once fairley tried, becomes the family medicine, speaks volnmes for its excellence and medi cinal merit. Hood's Sarsaparilla is Nature's co-worker. A Pure Baking Powder. A baking powder that can be depended upon to be free from lime and alum is a desideratum in these days of adulterated food. So far as can be judged from tbe official reports, the "Royal" seems to be tbe only one yet found by chemical analyses to be entirely without one or the other of these substances, and absolutely pure. This, it is shown, results from the exclusive use by its manufacturers of cream of tartar specially refined and prepared oy patent processes which totally remove the tartrate of lime and other impurities. Tbe cost of this chemically pure cream of tartar is much greater than any other, and it is used in no baking powder except the "Koyai," the manufacturers of which control tbe patents under which it is refined. Dr. Edward G. Love, formerly analytical chemist for'the U. S. Government, who made ; the analyses for tbe New York State Board of Health in their investigation of baking powders, aod whose intimate knowledge of tbe ingredients of all those sold 10 this mar ket enable him to speak authoritatively, says of tbe purity, wbolesomeness and superior quality of the "Royal :" "I find tbe Royal Baking Powder com posed of pure and wholesome ingredients. It is a cream of tartar powder, and does not contain either alum or phosphates or other injurious substance." > Prof. Love's tests, and the recent official tests by both tbe United States and Canadian Governments, show the Royal Baking Pow der to be superior to all others in strength and leavening power. It is not only the most economical in use, but makes the purest, finest flavored and most woolesome food. Specimen Cases. S.
