Terrible on Tillman. Loses a Life's Opportunity and a Crown of Glory. Special to Tbe State. TRENTON, July 9.-Our community, so conservative and quiet usually, is at this moment wild with excitement "What's the matter?*' "What's the matter ?" may be heard on all sides Is there a fire in town ? No Has some vicious team run away and frightened a fond mother who perchance had a venturesome child in the roadway V No. Has ?ome strange dog been seen on the street? supposed to havedydro phobia ? 4 "No, no j What then ? ? Just let me chase and catch my breath and I will tell you. Now. Did you hear thal firing of "small arms" just now? Yes. "Well, a negro boy was up yonder by Ex-Governor, U S Senator Benjamin Ryan Tillman's and peep? ing through the fence espied some plums, and as his empty stomach did covet some of that particular kind of fruit, he, the hungry negro boy, did take himself into said orchard through a crack in the rail ings just to taste some of them plums, and the said "nigger" aforesaid did, with hunger aforethought, give one hearty or stomachy shake to a heavy laden tree. But just then, to his great disappointment, terror and amazement, comes a voice command? ing him immediately to desist, stop, halt or words to that effect. That boy, realizing that Ex-Governor. United States Senator Benjamin Ryan Tillman, aforesaid, was present in person, with gun in hand, and realizing as quickly and at a glance, that his time for grazing in that orchard was up,, he did clean up for a fact, leaving more plums in that orchard than nigger tracks. Now, all this stir you hear and see comes from the report of the said Ex Governor, United States Senator Benjamin Ryan Tillman's gun, which he has fired four times in quick suc? cession at that negro running, with? out touching a hair nor a strand of wool. Will the militia be ordered out ? No ; perhaps the advice of a few friends will quiet the town, and the darling of reformation will, upon sub? mitting an excuse for which he is famous, be pardoned for losing such an excellent chance ot hanging the wooly scalp of a "nigger" at his girdle. A Mob of Negroes Guarding Greenville's JaiL GREENVILLE, Joly ll.-Since the killing of young Langford at Piedmont, this county, by the negro, Ira Johnson, there have been rumors of lynching the murderer, who is lodged in the Greenville jail. Every night large bodies of negroes have colleced about the jail, well armed, claiming that they intended to protect the prisoner. Pro? testations and arguments having failed to disperse the mob, last night, about midnight, the whole police force, under command of Mayor Williams and Chief of Police Kennedy, charged the crowd, disarming three, arrested three, and scattered the balance. The three prisoners appeared at the mayor's court this morning, and one was fined ?60 aod the other two ?50 each. It is thought that this will break up the mob -The State. Outlaws in Florida. LAKE CITY, Fla., July 12.-A band of mounted robbers galloped into this piace about 2 a. m. this morning dyna? mited and robbed a safe in ?. M. Chan ler's store, looted ticket offices at the depo', shot at a night watchman, wounded a negro and then rode out of town with their plunder, firing off their pistols. This gang in four weeks has raided the towns of Li ?e Oak, White Springs, Huntington, Hawthorn and Lake City, securing booty valued at several thousand dollars. They al ways use dynamite to open Sfcfes and raid mercantile establishments that do a b?^kiug busijess. It is said the gang has a rendezvous in the Okeefenokee swamp and that local confederates in? form them when to strike. Report is current that these robbers lynched the negro preacher. Bennett, recently be? cause he had discovered rb* idenrity of >ome of them. ? ?? . ? ? - - - . Major Samuel Houston, prominent saloonkeeper, and Nat Stanley, well known man about town, 'ired six or eight shots at each other on a street in Birmingham yesterday.

Challenge to a Contest. Mr. Warner's Proposition to Mr. Fairchild. Washington, July 9 -The follow? ing letter ha9 been sent from the office of ihe American Bimetalic League in this city: Washington, D C., July 8, 1895 lion Charles S. Fairchild, Chairman Committee on Sound Currenby, Reform Club, 52 William Street, New York. Dear Sir: The existence of the committee on sound currency of which you are chairman with exist ance at the same time of the Ameri? can Bimetalic League, which I have i the honor to represent, evidences a | wide diversity of opinion on the | money question. Each organization j is laboring to educate the people on different theories of money, and each advocates a different financial policy. They cannot both be right. { Tho deep interest manifested on this subject throughout the United States and the importance of arriv : ;ng at the truth that the people in j the coming elections may act wisely j has suggested that a candid discus-1 j sion of the question by representa- ; I tive men of the two organizations ; : might conduce to a better under I tanding of the truth and be highly ; ; beneficial: With this view, the Bimetallic League respectfully invites the . com : mittee on sound currency to adisens ; sion of the money question on dis i tinctive propositions to be argued I upon and to be carried on by ques j lions and answers. I would suggest I ! that not more than five nor less than j j three on a side te selected to con- j ; duct the discussion to be held at j socie time and place to be agreed I ; upon. Should this suggestion meet your I approval, I would suggest an early meeting to agree upon the proposi- i tioii8 to be discussed and the regula- j tions under which the discussion ! ? shall be connected Very respectfully yours.

Hi Ol" 2 ^ecause ^ i-s not on[y tne most beautiful ?pot on earth ll 111- t with its grand water falls, pretty little glenns, tower? ing mountains and magnificent views, but it is the most pleasant place in the mountains. It is away from the bustle and noise' of railroads, and is. therefore, the best place to gain health and see real pleasure. How do you get there from Atlanta, Ga., Norfolk, Ya., Wilmington, N. C., or intermediate points ? Parties going to Chimney Rock take the Seaboaed Air Line Trains, which are the best equipped of any line of Road in the South. The Sea? board Air Line carries Chimney Rock visitors to Rutherfordton, from which point a connecting line of stages carries them over a splendid mountain road, through valleys, and by a beautiful river with its ever changing scenery. What Hotel Shall I Stop At? By all means stop at the Mountain View Inn, conducted by Mr. George P. Horton and his estimable wife.* The hotel is new, the furniture and fittings of the best, and the surroundings well kept. From the hotel is a grand view of the most wonder? ful waterfalls in the United States, the famous Chimney Rock towering hundreds of feet into space. Mrs. Horton is an estimable lady, making every one feel at home as soon as they arrive. She gives her personal attention to her house-work, and superintends the cooking department, which insures the most perfect cleanliness. The kitchen is kept as clean and neat as the parlor under her management. Mr. Horton is a hustler and believes in having everything fixed to please his guests. He has lawn tennis and croquet grounds, quoit pitching grounds, a marble yard, [that is, a yard nicely graded, where the boys, men and ladies can play the old, but ever new games of marble, "roll-hole, knuckle down, &c.,?] He has swings, joggling boards, turning boards, and many amuse ? ments for the children. He has rustic seats over the beautiful grounds. Nowhere else can visitors find a place where they can get the comforts and pleasures that they do at Mr Hortoirs hotel, j But Is Not The Price Too High ? No ? It is really a puzzle to the visitors how Mr. Horton fur ' nishes the excellent fare and the amusements to visitors that he does for the sntall charges. Some of his visitors have insisted on paying him more, and this is the reverse of most cases, for it it usual to have visitors growl at high rates. He only charges : seven dollars per week, or twenty-four dollars for a full calendar month. ? This is valuable information to me, and a number of my friends who are going to take a vacation this summer, and I am j certainly under obligations to you. and will see you during July ( and August at Mr. Horton's. By the way, how far is it from j Asheville ? Only twenty miles. A three hour's drive with a good spann I of horses will take you to or from the beautiful mountain city, ! and to Vanderbilt's elegant summer home. In fact it is said j that Vanderbilt is going to have a cottage built at a point near i Chimney Rock. As to all these points you can write Mr. i George P. Horton, Chimney Rock, N. C. By-the-way, a party o? prominent editors visited the place and selected ? the location as the best place to build an Editorial Club House, and they I wrote many words of praise concerning the place and section. I will quote from the following papers : RALEIGH NEWS AND OBSERVER. j "Here with lofty mountains on each side the most picturesque scenery ; east "f 'he Rockies, we, a party of editors, have met to see for ourselves ami '-'I the world something of the real grandeur and sublimity. * * it j is a - . v.-ation and yet how many are willing to live and die without putting ; forth Mi.fi effort to view this wondrous scenery. * ^ ^ The view j from thc dome of Chimney Rock is superb. It must be seen to be thorough '? ly understood." CHARLOTTE OBSERVER. ? "The shades of night weie falling as we drew near our destination. The. harvest moon hung in the sky as we rounded Chimney Rock. At our right was Old Baldy, under whose gigantic cliffs we insignificant mortals were creeping along. The river sang a vesper hymn\ and it seemed as if nature was offering her evening prayer to the Creator. The view from Chimney f Rock is glorious. * * But it is useless to describe the beauties cf . this region. Go and see them for yourself." WILMINGTON REVIEW. "lt was up hill and down dale ; now in the valley shut ii: by high lilis, j an anon skirting the brow of a precipice hundreds of feet above the plain beneath. The country between Rutherfordton and Asheville is beautiful. \ rich, prosperous and happy. * * We stood upon the summit of : the rugged and picturesque Chimney and gazed abroad for sixty miles, the eve taking in almost at one glance the peaks of a hundred magnificent mountains. The view is simply sublimo." RICHMOND DISPTCH. "There is not a missing element in this beautiful mountain scenery. There is a succession of grand views ail the way for six miles. No language can depict tho grandeur of the scenery all along the route. The Broad River certainly is as picturesque as the lamed Swanoanoa ; and larger and much more turbulent NORFOLK VIRGINIAN. "Al every turn ol the road as we approach, the mountains unfold, pan oiam Kke displaying wild grande:;: aim ?st and yet fascinating in the ex? treme.

The outlook was superb be? yond description RICHMOND TIMES. "Hickory Nut Gap is the most picturesque section of country to be found throughout the Appalachian chain. The Broad River, a" restless crystal stream, divides the great gorge, leaving a towering, rugged height on either side. Members of our party were vicing with each other in the use of adjectives over tin? glorious landscape To attempt a description of thegreat gray peaks, overlooking roaring cataracts and smiling vales below would be but sacrilege when once a glimpse has been obtained/' A stay at Chimney Kock will cute malarial diseases.
