PISGAH.
Pisgah, August 22.-Fine rains
^ have fallen all around but there is a
. dry. streak here that has had none in
-
Al aiearly a month and the crops are
very much injured for" want of mois?
ture.
Fodder pulling is practically over.
A lot has been in the rain and still
e "hangs on the stalk.
Cotton is opening fast which indi?
cates a short crop.
The meeting at Dalzell yesterday
-was, a pleasant one, notwithstanding
the rain. Col. W. D. Scarborough
presided, who called on Rev. F., M.
Sarxerwhite to open with prayer. The
candidates made their usual speeches.
Dr. Dick.and Mr McEIveen furbish?
ed the amusement for the crowd.- Oh
the whole the speeches were very
good. Congressman Lever was pres?
ent and made a fine practical address,
urging the people to stick to their
farms, quit being carired away w&h
commercialism and return to the good
old ways to all of which we say amen,!
The crowd numbered several hundred
including a lot of ladies and we were
delighted to have them. At the re?
cess ^dinner was furnished. The pre?
dominating subject of the speches was
"liquor-good old red-eye-which was
?iandled in fine style in its various
phases. There was some on the
ground for one darkey got so full that
..he went tumbling in the water and
mud. What a pity that a man's
?-qualifications for office is based on a
bottle of liquor. Good order prevail?
ed during the entire day.
The sp'eeches of Messrs. Clifton and
"Sanders did credit to them; both be?
ing on a high plane, but very differ- '?
?nt on the- "licker" question. Mr. ?
Babbs for no liquor. Mr. Fraser for
prohibition, if we can get it, if not
'lor-county option as the best solution
-of red-eye. The rest for State dis?
pensary.
Col. Scarborough's speech for the
magistrate's office was plain and clear
cut as to its duties and sound to the
?ore. His platform is like that the
late Captain J. H. McLeod, who had .
210 superior as magistrate and made
?one of the best Sumter county ever
had.
A game of ball was played in the *
>rain and mud and judging from the
l?Uowing, the boys were enjoying the
-Sport.
Rev. J. B. Parrott of -?Clinton is ]
kelping Rev. J. H. Mitchell in a 1
meeting at Horeb church this week. ?
"Mr. Parott is a fine preacher.
The political meeting at Smithville, (
Xee county, last week was interest?
ing. The speeches were all good.
The only unpleasant feature of the 1
day was some hot shot between Edi?
tor Cunningham and Supervisor Rol?
lings about some financial matters.
Tfce main fight there* is on the sufcer
-visor's office. Mr. Rollins, from all
reports, has made careful and good
?apervisor, not wasting any money,
"bat doing the work of the county on
? cash basis. There is no taint of
graft about his office, and his many *
friends hiere who are the readers of
the Watchman and Southron hope (
that he will land all o. k.
The severe rains at Dalzell have al?
most destroyed the cotton there. I
noticed lands that last year made a
cale of cotton per acre will scarcely
make anything at all. This is hard j
on our friends.

.From what I have heard every man
thought he was the one. Thai thing
were getting worse and worse all th
time and thai the best the poop!
could do was to elect him.
But the big bone of contention !.->
the whiskey question. It would have
been a bleesed thing ii it had been
kept out Of this year's campaign.
Was it not a shame for Jones to
strike Branson the ether day?
Where ?5 the man that can
vote for another who will
walk up to a poor old one armed
man and slap his face? Can you
think of anything meaner or .more un?
becoming a gentleman, Mr. Editor,
than to srap a man when you know he
is not able to defend himself? I have
known Joel Brunsen for the last for?
ty-five years, and have always found
him a peaceable man and one That
was always to be relied on. I know
nothing about Mr. Jones.
Mr. W. R.- Lacky, an old Confeder?

KATE LAW IX EFFECT.
j Railroads Unable to Comply WKth all
Provisions-The Commission
j Lenient;
I J. ~~
j jjr''A' York, August 2~.-The new
, railroad rate ?aw which applies co all
railroads doing an interstate com?
merce business goes into efftct at
midnight tonight, lt will be enforced
by the interstate commerce commis?
sion. According to the new law, the
roads were to have filed with
tilt commission by midnight all
their tariffs and charges, shewing not
only the full cost of transportation
from point to point, but also what
items go the making up of this cost.
From tomorrow on ther2 can be no
"extras." hut the shippe" is expected
to be able to obtain in advance a
final statement of the charge he has
to meet.
It was stated today that in fact not
a single company has been able to
fully comply with the provisions of
th? law requiring thein to have all
their schedules on file by midnight.
The schedule of switching charges
was the most difficult, of completion.
Under the law every company
which fails to complete its schedule
might be fined, but it is understood
that the interstate commerce com?
mission will give additional time in
every case when a road has given ev?
idence of sincere intent to comply
with the law. To discuss this and
other points, a committee represent?
ing the big Eastern railroads will go
to Washington tomorrow in order to
meet the commission. This confer?
ence will be attended by representa?
tives of the anthracite coal roads who
are anxious to obtain a ruling from
the commission on that section of the
law which prohibits a railroad from
carrying from one State to another
any article manufactured, mined or
produced by it except for its own use.
This would include coal.
It is expected that shippers will
find themselves benefitted by the pro?
vision which requires the railroads to
include all charges of whatever na?
ture in their quoted rates. Hereto?
fore a shipper has had to figure for
himself on refrigerator and elevator
charges and the dozen or more other
incidentals, dickering with the sepa?
rate companies which had a hand in
transportation or care of his ship?
ment. Xow the railroad must do
that and the shipper meets but one
charge, deals with but one concern.
All the sources of side charges are
consolidated, and private cars, side
tracks, spurs, termials? elevators are
made subject to the law.
The new law also requires the rail?
roads to establish a uniform system
of accounting and to keen their books
open for inspection at all tirrfes by
the expert accountants of the com?
mission. This feature Is, expected to
go far toward abolishing the rebate
evil of the past. The railroad account?
ants are conferring in regard to the
uniform system of bookeeping,
which, however, will ncft go into ef?
fect until June of next year. In the
meantime the commission has put its
own experts at work devising a sys?
tem which will be clear enough to
suit the commission.
As a direct consequence of the pro?
visions of the rate bill, the Union Pa?
cific railway has determined to in?
stall its own system of refrigerator
cars. Heretofore the Armour private
car lines have had a monopoly of this
business over the Union Pacific and
Southern Pacific with all the profita?
ble California fruit U-ade.
' The Union Pacific today opened
bids for the const uction of 6.000
steel under-body refrigerator cars and
is likely to ask for bids for another
lot soon.

Mr. S. T. Moore of Dillon, game
warden of Marion county, has ad
?ressed to Governor Heyward an in?
quiry regarding the use of dynamite
in the streams. He says that he has
positive proof that ten of the most
influential citizens of Dillon have been
fishing with dynamite, but they -say
their lawyers tell them they have' a
right to use dynamite on their own
lands. The attorney general was out
of the city, attending the campaign
meeting at Laurens, and no ex?
pert opinion could be had, but it was
the impression of everybody about
the executive offices that the law ab?
solutely forbids the use of dynamite
in any streams whatever.
The first section of northbound
through freight. No. 210 struck a
horse and vehicle, driven by Jno. Ray,
colored in Dillon. The horse was kill?

Russia-Terrorists Now* Waging
Active Campaign.
St. Petersburg, August 26.-Satur?
day's unsuccessful atempt on the iifer
of Premier Stolypin, with is sickenings
useless slaughter of 32 persons, was
followed tonight by another revolu?

commander of the Semivonsky Guard
Regiment, and who,, since his promo?
tion to the general, has been attached
as a personal adjutant to the suite of
the emperor, was killed on the station*
platform at Peterhoff by a young wo?

his body from an automatic revolver,,
and then, without resistance, submit
ted to arrest. The capture of the girl

tempt on the life of Gen. Min, whc?

TOM MILLER RETAINED.
He Withdrew His Resignation - as
President or State Colored College. .
Thos. E. Miller will remain at the
head of the State Colored college at
Orange ourg, as is the wish of every
white ?.nd colored friend o? that in?
stitution, which was born in his brain,
given life through his work and made
a success by his untiring and unceas-'
ing efforts. This result was arrived
at yesterday at a meeting of the trus-,.
tees of that institution, at which ev?
ery member but one was present.
The trustees without exception re?
quested President Miller to withdraw
his resignation, which he did, because y
he was requested to do so by white
and colored people in nearly every
county of the state. He made his
tight for high morality in schools, but
regardless of the conduct of the two
women teachers, their white friends
in Charleston requested their reten?
tion and the trustees yielded to this ^
pressure from Charleston and retain- \
ed them.
President Miller said that he felt
that be owed something to the two
races which had been loyal to the
institution and himself in the past *en
years, hence he yielded to their re?
quest. He thanks every newspaper
in the State, white and colored, that >
has sustained him in this fight, and |
will continue to do h's very ^e^t for j
the interests of. the school as long as |
he is at its head-Columbia Record. I
