The following correspondence be?
tween Senator M. C. Butler and Gov?
ernor Evans needs no explanatory re
marks, but will be found of iuteresi to
the public.
Edgefield, S. C., May 23, 1395.
To the Editor of The State:
Will you do roe the favor to publish
the following ? On the 15th inst. I ad?
dressed a note to Governor Evans, of
which the subjoined is a copy, and
had the same registered afc the Edge
field postof?ce:
(cony.)
Edgefield, S. G., May 15, 1895.
Governor J. G. Evans, Columbia, S. C :
Sir: I notice in The State of to-day
what purports to be an address to fel?
low citizens from you, and find the fol?
lowing as a part of it:
"The ex-Senator, who had been hold?
ing caucuses in Columbia at private
houses, having the ear of the court,
and 'holding the foot of the chancel?
lor/ returned to his home, feeling thal
his movements had.not been detected,
but the responsibility shall rest where
it belongs. Let thc people not blame
the poor, lean, hungry counsel, who are
barking merely for a bone, but visit
the sin upon the heads of the arch
conspirators."
I beg to inquire whether I am the
ex-Senator to whom you refer ?
Very truly,
M. C. Butler.
To this I received yesterday (the
14th) the following reply:
(copy)
Executive Chamber,
Columbia, May 23, 1895.
Gen. M. C. Butler, Edgefield, S. C :
Sir: In reply to yours of the 15th, ?
beg to state that you were the ex-Sen?
ator to whom I referred in that por?
tion of my address quoted in you; let?
ter. Absence from my office prevented
aa earlier reply. Yours truly,
John Gary Evans.
On the same day I sent the follow?
ing to Messrs. Caldwell & Pope at
Newberry:
(copy)
Eigeneid, S. C., May 15, 1S95.
Messrs, J. F. J. Caldwell & Sampson
Pope, Newberry, S. C.:
Gentlemen : Will you be kind enough
to state whether you, or either of you,
consulted me directly or indirectly in
regard to the case you brought before
Judge Goff, and whether I had any?
thing to do with suggesting or prepar?
ing the case. In short, whether 1 had
anything to do with it whatever.
Do not understand me fco imply hy
this inquiry that there was or is any
thing discreditable in being connected
with the proceedings. On the con?
trary, I think you are entitled to the
highes: credit and to the thanks cf all
peace-loving, law-abiding citizens for
your able and fearless conduct. My
only object, is to prove with what nim?
ble facility some people can lie.
An early answer will much oblige
Yours very truly,
M. C. Butler.
In due course of time I received the
following replies :
(copy.)
Newberry, S. C., May 18, 1895.
My Dear Sir : In reply to yours of
the 15th instant, I did not con-suit you
before bringing the suit of Prue? and
Price vs. Evans et al. Heariug that
you were in Columbia on Tuesday
night before the hearing of the case,
I called to see you as a friend at Col.
.Richardson's and spent possibly half
an hoar with you. I mentioned the
fact of our having brought this suit and
of its early hearing and was surprised
to find that you had not read the bill,
as it had been published iu " The
States'1 and the "Neics and Courter.V
I invited you to call at my room the
next, morning, which you did and I
read a paragraph or two of the bill to
you. You remained with me for DOSS?
bly twenty minutes, and i have not
seen you since "^ou had no connect?
ion whatever with this suit. With
great respect, yours truly,
(Signed) Sampson Pope,
(copy.)
Newberry, S. C., May 17th, 1896.
Dear Sir : I have been surprised to
learn that you are charged with any
connection whatever with the suit of
Pratt and Pnce vs. John Gary Evans,
Governor, and others. lately heard by
Judge Goff of the Circuit Court of the
United States, i never beard of your
suggesting or desiring such a proceed?
ing. I have never had communica?
tion with you in connection with that
or any similar proceeding, and I en?
tered into the suit and have prosecuted
it so far without any thought of your
personal interest or wishes. Dr. Pope
can speak for himself, but if he e7or
received a suggestion or intimation
from you in regard to the institution
or conduct of that suit or any suit
of like character, he has not made it
known to me. Faithfully vours,
(Signed) J. F. J. Caldwell.
Hon. M. C. Butler, Edgefield. S. C. :
I do not like to be misrepresented
even by a blackguard. Since my ser?
vice in the Senate ended on the 4th of
March last, I have been a private citi?
zen, attending to my own business,
and this man had no right to draw me
into his scurrilous, sophomoric self-ad?
vertisement, which ho styles an "Ad?
dress" to "Fellow-Citizens." He ap?
pears to have had me under the sur
veilance of one of his detectives, who
have become so fashionable under late
orders of State administration, and
* betrays himself into the utterance of a
foolish falsehood. The truth is, he is
badly afflicted with what the doctors call
hydrosepbalous, commonly known as
} sweil-head Hi affair ou toe ?

1 falsehood, fair cr.ucism and slander, i
I are PO vague and filmy '.har. he ought |
perhaps to be regarded as an object cf j
I pity and contempt, rather than indig
1 nation and resentment,
j When ? set myself before the public
i as a target, I can stand criticism as
j well a? most men, but I have no idea
of permitting slanderers to follow me
into private life to indulge their vicious
propensities.
Another reason I have for troubling |
the public with this matter is that j
other members of the Ring have been
circulating slanders and misrepresen?
tations about me, on the line of intend?
ing to create a false impression in the
public mind, and I avail myself of this
opportunity to denounce them.
They are trying by a hue and cry '
about "white supremacy," to frighten
the timid into their clutches. There is j
not the least danger of thc negroes ;
getting control of the government of
this State, or of "white supremacy"
being endangered, and they know it.
Whatever of peril there is to "wh;to j
supremacy" has been created by the ;
Ring now trying to dragoon white men j
into condoning their corrupt prac- i
tices. They are responsible for the i
I menace of "negro supremacy" if there !
is one, and no amount of bluster and
false pretense can conceal it.
They have rejected every fair and
j honorable overture for reuniting the
! white people, and for one, I shall have
? nothing to do with any Ring primary,
j [f a primary could be held on the plan
I of the "Forty" there would be no ob?
jection to it, bnt these fellows will not
j agree to that, because it would result
I in peace and good feeling-the last
! thing they want.

Further developments are now ex
j peeled in short order in the registra
I tion cases. It won't be long, very
! likely, before the people of South
i Carolina will know whether Judge
j Goff's decison and order will go on
j to the United States Supreme Court
I with oj. Mons such as Judge Goff
I entertains to make the case more
j certain of going against her. Tho
I counsel for the State have, after con?
j salting for several days, decided to
! carry the ^ase up on an appeal from
\ the interlocutory order of injunction,
i and the preliminary moves have been
\ made looking towards that end.
j This puts a new light on the situa
! tion and there is a probability that
the court may so actas to change the
j condition of affairs somewhat Yet
there is just a small chance. If any
: thing comes of the move, all well
and good ; if it dosen't, the registra
j tion laws will scarcely stand a ghost
of a show before the Supreme Court
of the United States, when the case
gets before that court.

j this month. Cotton ia very small, corn the;
; same, tor the time of year. The farmers ai'

, it looks so bad, they do not expect more than i
: half of a crop of cotvon this year. Un ac-'

PRIVATEER TOWNSHIP, May 23, 1393.
! Notwithstanding the unpropitious, weather !
: on Friday night, a good sized, sekct and most !
! attentive audience assembled at the Priva
teer Alliance Hall to hear the Rev. D.W.
? Hiott lecture on "Shine the Heel." Every
' thing had been nicely fixed up about the hall
i for the lecture and the crowd that assembled j
would have done credit to any lecturer. Mr. i
Hiott's lecture on Friday ni^ht can be de- :
: scribed by one comprehensive word -it was !
? admirable. As he may deliver this lectuie
' in other portions of the county, I will not
attempt a synopsis of it here, sufficient to
remark that it was full of prn.jiic.ai advice,:
most interesting historical information and ;
it also abounds i.i humor. Sometimes the
humor in lectures is heavy and dull, but in
Mr. Hiott's lecture it was so natural and came
in so we i that the hearers' laughter came
irresistibly. Any one who hears this lecture :
I once will o? glad to hear it again, and I
thick e^ery one had the same fee?Dgs the
other night as did a bright little fellow, who
remarked to me that the lecture was worth to
him 'v.tce wo it it cost.
Although Mr. Hiott bas lectured several
j times, this was the first lime that any one j
ever paid to hear him. As will be remem- I
bered, he lectured on this occasion ny request
and tbe proceeds of the evening, which
amounted to a neat little sum, v, ill go to the '?
Connie Maxwell Orphanage.
Speaking of this Orchanage, the following
fact is interesting. During the Ust few
1 months trie Bethel and Wedgefield coogrega
? tions by collections and through the proceeds
of Mr. Hiott's lecture and also the Rainbow
party at Mr. Willie Cain's a while back,
Lave contributed over 25 dollars to the
Orphanage.

MRS. N. C. MILLER.
Of Fort Wayne, Ind., writes on Nov. 29,1SS4:
"I was afflicted for forty years with hears
trouble and suffered untold agony. I had
weak, hungry spells, and my heart would
palpitate so hard, the pain would be so acute
and torturing, that I became so weak and
nervous I could not sleep. I was treated by
several physicians without relief and gave
up ever being well again. About two years
ago I commenced using Dr. Miles' Remedies.
One bottle of the Heart Cure stopped all
beart troubles and the Restorative Nervine
did the rest.and now I sleep soundly and at?
tend to my household and social duties with?
out any trouble.
