Situation in This State.
A Glance at the Coming Gen
eral Election.
Now that the national and general
election for State officers is only three
weeks from Tuesday next, for the bene?
fit of those outside as well as io the
State it is well to give a summary of
the situation io South Carolina and
present the sevrai electoral, congres?
sional and State tickets that are io the
field for the voters to choose from
There is no question whatever that
every nominee of the primary
held ander the regular Democratic or
ganization will be elected, that the
electoral nominees of this organization
^will be elected and that all the county
tioketS will go "throngh. There could
only be any doubt as to the latter in thc
county of Georgetown, but the parties
have fused down there and settled their
grievances among themselves in the
primary, which it is said that ail will
abide. But though everything is so
pertain, the voters of the State should
remember that they have the right to
vote and that they should net from any
overconfidence remain away the polls
on election day. It never pays to ac?
cept anything as settled when Jt comes
to voting, and the true citizen-3s an
old man who never failed to vote since
he got the right, said the other day
should always go to the ballot box and
vote, no matter how hopeless or how
confident be was.
There are three State tickets in the
field, one being the regalar Democratic
ticket and the others being those put
out by the two factions of the Republi
can party. These tickets stand as
nominated thus far, with the exception
of one change that has been made in
ti^ Webster Republican ticket, a new
man having been sobstiutcd for the
original nominee for lieutenant gov?
ernor.
There are-fonr electoral tickets be
fore the people-the regular Demo?
cratic, the Melton and the Webster
Republican and the Palrner-Buckoer
tickets. AU these tickets are complete
save two. The Palmer-Backcer ticket
has to have a man supplied in the
Third district Then there is a vacan?
cy on the Webster ticket caused by the
death of Mr Moorman on Saturday
last.
Io the several congressional districts
it is bard to tell as yet bow many can
dates there will be in each district. It
is safe to say that at leasttwo Republi?
cans and one regularly nominated Dem?
ocrat will stand in each district. In
the Seventh district there will probably
be three Republicans. It is possible
that before ?-he election is held one of
the Republican cominees in the First
district may be withdrawn from the
race by order of the national Republi?
can congressional committee. Of the
Democratic candidates six are solid free
silver men and one is a "sound" money
Democrat, Col Eiliot, who will make
the race in the First district.
For the information of the voters of
the State of ali creeds and factions,
however, the lists of the several nomi?
nees in the field for the several offices
to be f?!led are given as follows:

In Gladstone's Pew.
The Archbishop of Canter?
bury Dies Suddenly.
LONDON, Oct. ll.-The archbishop
of Gaterbury, primate ot' ali England
and metropolitan, the Rt Hon. and j
Most Rev. Edward White Benson, |
D D and privy councilor, died sud?
denly to-day while attending divine
service in the church at Hawarden
The archbishop was thc guest of
Mr. Gladstone, through whom-he
was appointed- to the archbishopric
of Canterbury, and, in company with
the Gladstone family, went to the
Hawarden church this morning. Af
ter the serviee had commenced a
commotion was noticed io the Glad?
stone pew, and immediately thereaf?
ter church attendants were eeen re?
moving the archbishop, who, it is
supposed, was suffering from a fit
He was taken to the- rectory and
medical assistance was hastily sum?
moned. The doctors worked over
him in vain, and at 11.45 o'clock he
died The physicians state that
death was caused by apoplexy.
Archbishop Benson was 67 years
of age.
The archbishop and his wife ar?
rived at Hawardetr castle, Mr. Glad?
stone's residence, Saturday evening
from the north of Ireland, where
they had been visiting The arch
bishop appeared to be in the best of I
health He attended communion at |
the Hawarden church at 8 o'clock j
this morning; and then breakfasted ?
with Mr Gladstone and family.
Later he attended the morning ser?
vice
The "'confession" was proceeding
when he fell forward.
The church attendants removed the
archbishop to the rectory as quickly
as possible. The Rev. Stephen^Glad
stone, the ieclor of the church, con?
tinued the service until he received a
message that the archbishop was
dead He then closed with the
prayer for the dead from the burial
service.
As the congregation left the
church the organist played a dead
march and a muffled pea! was rung
on the bells.
Mr. Gladstone was not at the
church, the weather preventing. He
was greatly distressed at the death
of the archbishop. They had been
close friends for a long time.
Archbishop Benson waa esteemed
by all sects for his moderation and
broadmindedness. Hie death was
announced at St. Paul's. London, at
the afternoon service The news
quickly spread and this evening
there was a great assemblage at the |
cathedral The preacher highly ?
eulogized the dead archbishop for his ;
services to thc church, his personal j
uprightness of character and-lovable
disposition.
After the service, the organist
played the "dead march," the con |
gregation standing as the solemn j
strains filled the edifice, the great I
bell of the cathedral meanwhile be- j
?ag tolled in memory of the dead j
Dean Farrar paid an impressive |
tribute to the deceased archbishop in j
Canterbury cathedral.

Pheasants in Fairfield.
Major Tom Woodward's Ex
pertinents With Them.
To ?he Editor of The Srate :
1 am frequently interrogated on th
subject, of pheasant*, aod finding it irk
some to reply to all siogly I take this
method of doing so.
Three years ago ? purchased of F
A Stuhr, Portland, Oregan, a trio
cock and two he38-Mongolian or Chi?
nese pheasant*" at a cost then of, ?5 a
piece aod exp jsage on thc lot, $10.
They arrived in May, the 25tb, the
party having delayed^hiproents io order
to get the eggs Io consequence of tho
late shipment, I secured only a few
eggs and did not raise any that year.
Thc next year tho two hens laid 162
eggs, an average of 81 apiece ; one of
them, the younger, layiog 100. From
these I matured 30 fine birds and turn?
ed out 15.of them, which are now re
ported breeding and doing well, neets
and young broods having boen seen by
?responsible farmer? around. The next
year I lost all my hens from cholera
caused by feeding shells laid by chick?
en hens with the disease, and secured
only one.setriog jf eggs, from which I
succeeded in raising eight pheasants
from them this year After distributing
about 150 eggs in several counties, I
have reared and set free 42, which are
daily seen in the pea Seida around, and
if allowed to breed next year with those
heretofore will supply this sec?on boun?
tifully io a few years
Thc Mongolc3n pheasant is the finest
game bird on this continent, gorgeous
to look at, finer in flavor than the quail,
very hardy and stands well to the dog.
it was sent from China about 1882 io
the Portland gun and rod club bv the
United States consul to Shanghai, and
has overrun the State of Oregon and
Washington. With clubs in each
county to repeat the experiment made
here, and with good laws sacb as will
no doubt be passed by the nest legisla?
ture, it would be but a few years until
the State would swarm with this grand?
est of birds. They arc not as large as
the English mixture, but I think are
more hardy and certainly mere prolific.
The cocks weigh three pounds and the
hens two pounds, tbe common quail
weighs barely haifa pound. They are
not more difficult to rear than young
turkeys and command a good price if
raised for profit.

A Tidal Wave.
SAVANNAH, Ga , Oct 9.-A special
to The Morning News from Brunswick,
Ga , received at ll o'clock tonight,
says: A big tidal wave came in on an
October northeaster today. No lives
were lost or great damage to property
sustained in Brunswick. Citizens own?
ing rice plantations are fearful vtbat
their entfVe unshipped crops are gone
aud this seems probable. The less of
rice planters will thus be heavy and not
easily sustained by them io view of
past mishaps
The tidal wave to-day furnished thc
most interesting sight since the one of
1854. The water completely hid ali
the marshes between Brunswick, Fancy
Bluff, Jekyl, SaioL Simons, Southern
rai'way docks and other places Long
stretches of the boulevard were under
water and thousands of marsh and
water animals were driven on shore for
refuge.
FERNANDITA, Fla., Oot. 9.-Heavy

blowing the entire day and the tide has
risen so high that it has done a big lot

Upper Carolina New County
Scheme Being Pushed.
Although the advocates of Salem
county were the first to file their pe?
tition with the governor for the call
itjg of an election in behalf of the
project, ander the provisions of the
new Constitution and the act relating !
to the formation of new counties, the
friends of Limestone comity have |
gotten the drop upon them and have
succeeded io being the first to have
an election ordered The Salem peo
pie omitted to get one small certifi?
cate from a county official and hence
their election has not yet been
ordered The petition in behalf of
the Limestone county project W3s
filed yesterday and the governor
finding that all the provisions of the
act bearing upon the subject had
been complied with, immediately is
'sued the desired proclamation, which
will be found below
The new county is to include the
whole of Cherokee township in
York county, the whole of Limestone
township in Spartanburg county ; 50
square miles of White Plains town?
ship in Spartanburg county ; 15 1 6
square miles of Cherokee township
in Spartanburg county, and Drayton
ville, Lowdysville and Limestone
townships in Union county . The
area of the proposed new county is
to be 428 1 2 square miles. The
total taxable property in this area
will be ?2,196,605, according to the
last returns Exclusive of the prop
erty in White Piains and Spartan
burg's Cherokee townships the realty
will amount to 31,543,145, and the
personalty to $652 905. No line of
the new county vviU run nearer to an j
existing court house than eight
miles. The population of the terri?
tory proposed tu be included in the
new county will be 21,685
Of course the name and county
seat will also have to be voted upon.
Gaffney it is supposed, will be the
county seat The following is the
proclamation of the governor fixing
the election for December 8th, 1S96 :
Whereas, a petition signed by the
qualified electors of certain sections
of Spartanburg, Union and Y?rk
counties, has been filed with me, and
from said petition and accompanying
papers, it appears that one third of
the qualified electors residing within
the area of each section of the old
counties proposed to be cut eff for a
new county have signed said peti
tion ; aud
Whereas, the boundaries of the
proposed new county, the proposed
name, the number of inhabitants, the
area, the taxable property, as shown
by the last tax returns, and that the
proposed lines for the new county do
not run more than eight miles from ;
any court house now established, and
set forth in said petition.
Now, therefore, I, John Gary
Evans, governor of the State of South
Carolina, in compliance with the
requirements of the act of the gen?
eral assembly, entitled an act "to
provide for the formation of new
counties," etc , approved March 9th.
1896 ; do hereby order an election in
the counties to be cut off for the new
county on Tuesday, the 8th of De?

cordance with the requirements of
the said act. at which election the
