IS THERE A DEAL?
CAL. CAUGHMAN MAKES
SENSATIONAL CHARGE
AGAINST GOV.
TILLMAN
Over His Own Signature.
The following card from Cal. Caugh
man, the independent Democratic can?
didate for Congress io the Seventh Dis?
trict, is pretty sensational-quite a
bomb, io fact, from a political stand?
point. The statements made in the
card wilt be read wi r.b. great interest :
COLUMBIA, S. C.? Oct. 24,1894.
To the Editor of the State: For the
past ten days I have been absent in the
' country, and on my arrival in Colom?
bia I was shown the letter of Dr. Low
man, of Orang?barg, to County Chair?
man Kinloch, of Charleston. I am
mach amused at the expressions of
sentiment conveyed in said communica?
tion and desire to lay before the voters
of the First*and Seventh Congressional
Districts the following facts':
First. It Is well known in Wash?
ington in Republican circles that the
conference between B. R. Tillman and
George Washington Murray in Septem?
ber last developed the following, to wit:
That it mattered not how much money
was sent by the National Democratic
Executive Committee to the First Con?
gressional District in behalf of Col.
William Elliott, that he, B. R. Till?
man, would see that be, George Wash
in ton Murray, would receive the certi?
ficate at the bands of his returning
board, provided he would keep the
bands of his constituents tied against
voting for any ticket in opposition to
the ticket selected by the Ring under
the Colletoo plan. In reply to Dr.
Lowman's threat in regard to the Re?
form vote of the First Congressional
? District being withdrawn from the Hon.
William Elliott, I desire to say to the
Reform voters of said Congressional
district, that if they recognize within
themselves that they belong to the
Democratic party, they can vote for
Col. Elliott without reserve, because he
represents everything that pertains to
Democratic principles and to the main?
tain an ce of the supremacy of the Dem?
ocratic party. To the voters, ' both
Conservatives and Reformers, of the
Seventh Congressional District, I de?
sire to say that in voting in the coming
election, they cannot vote for J. Wil?
liam Stokes, for the following reasons :
first. In person be does not repre?
sent anything within himself.
Second. So far as principles are in?
volved, he bas none and is driven by
* the winds of the Populistic elements.
Third. If you vote for F. C.
Caugbman for Congress, you will vote
for one who maintains Democratic prin?
ciples and does not pander to any ele?
ment not consistent with the Demo?
cratic party.
Fourth. If you cannot see your way
clear to vote strictly io accordance
, with Democratic principles, represented
through me in the past tn sustaining
both io the First and Seventh Congres?
sional districts, white supremacy prior
to Ben Tillman's infamous and cor?
rupted administration, I say to you,
in consistency vote for Thomas B.
Johnston, the regular Republican nomi?
nee, who is a candidate tn your district
for that position.
Before concluding this article, I de?
sire to say to the voters of this district,
who have not thought of this proposi?
tion before, that they had better stop
and think for a moment. By way of
illustration, I desire to say to them that
the infamous and outrageous murder of
their respected and honored county
treasurer bas been brought about by no
other teachings than those of the Popu- .
listic theory and doctrine that is being
taught by just such men as J. William
Stokes and others who have been
inculcating those doctrines into the
minds of the igooraot and uninformed
among our people, leading them to
believe that the government owes some?
thing to them, which doctrine is incon?
sistent with all the principles laid down
by the founders and framers of the Con?
stitution under which government was
established ; that the people must make
the government, aod not the govern?
ment the people, and until the people
learn to realize that they, in their own
majesty and greatness, must be the
foundation upon which the government
rests and maintains itself as a nation
among all other nations of the world,
they cannot expect even themselves or
their government to be respected.
F. C. CA?GHMAN.
Don't vote a "scratched" ballot
against the constitutional convention,
or you may lose your vote. The News
and Courier has advised it, but it is in
error. The York ville Enquirer makes
a point, which we were waiting to make
when a sufficient supply of "no conven?
tion" ballots should be assured, and
shows that a printed convention ballot
cannot be changed with the pen. The
general election law allows ballots for
candidates to be "printed or written, or
partly printed and partly written" but
the joint resolution providing for a vote
on the question of calling a constitu?
tional convention requires ballots to be
"written or printed/' This may be
held to mean that a printed ballot
changed from Yes" to "No" with pen
and ink is illegal Printed "co con- ;
vention" ballots can be obtained freely j
next week, so on no account should
voters take the risk of using others -
The State.
Tho Constitutional Convention "No"
ballots will be abundant on election
day. May they completely snow under
the "Yes" ballots.
Stern & Co., wholesale dealers in
men's furnishing goods, New York,
failed on the 24th, and L. S. Stern com?
mitted suicide by jumping into the Cen?
tral Park reservoir.
Secretary Hoke Smith has requested
the Secretary of War to send troops to
Indian Territory to suppress the lawless
bauds which have been operating there
and in the adjacent country.
There is danger in the curling tongs
where a girl doesn't get the right twist
on them. A girl in Pennsylvania
recently put her eye out by letting the
iron slip from her bangs into ber eye.
Cumberland Island, Ga , is to be
transformed into, an all the year-round
resort. Several Northern capitalists
have formed a company with ?3,000,
000 to develop and beautify the island.
A Hotel to rival the Ponce de Leon will
be erected.
The trial of eleven persons accused
of white cap outrages bas created such
excitement in St. Frances county. Ark.,
that more than 500 people have
moved in Helena, the oounty seat, and
camped. They come prepared to. re?
main until the trials are concluded, not
less than a month, as 150 witnesses
have been summoned.
A special from Sturgio, Ky., says :
A fearful and death-dealing plague of
diphtheria is raging opposite Caseyville,
III., and comos can hardly be furnished
fast enough with which to bury the
dead. Not fewer than forty deaths
have occurred within the week. It is
not uncommon to bury two children in
a single coffin. A mau from across the
river arrived at Caseyville to-day for
the fifth coffin, furnished in one family.
Tbe Home Product Co-operative Life is not
a "wild cat" scheme. It is based oe sound
principles, and experience of all life insurance
from tbe beginning of the business. It is
new and avoids tbe errors of tbe old. Dr. J.
A. Mood will be the medical examiner in chief,
and they intend to require as careful examina?
tion as any insurance company.

any good. My finger naHs came off,

Hoping to be cured by this celebrated
treatment, but very soon became
disgusted, and decided to TRY
