viewing the week's weather, says :
Cotton has steadily improved in ? '
condition and is quite satisfactory 1

SENATOR IKBY TALKS.
He Expresses Himself Freely on the
Political Situation.
Senator Irby has given the Piedmont
Headlight the following interview
on the political situation:
"The mask is off and thank God for
it. The Reformers have been wasting
timo with Williauie, Gonzales, Hemphill
and other Anti-leaders, thinking ;
those Conservatives were honest in t
their efforts to bring about peace and ,
unity. Their object was to get hold
of the Convention iu the interest of :
corporations by deception and treach- j
ery. Tillman saw this and left them. 1
This tore the mask from their faces.
Thereupon they went to Columbia and
voluntarily deserted the Democratic
party and resolved to organize one of
their own; and Mr. Carson, their chair- |
man of what was hoped a defunct or- !
ganizatiou, proceeds formally to carry !
out their instructions.
"This is barefaced Iuuependentism
with all that word meaus. I can't see
in the face of this how bouest, loyal
Reform Democrats can affiliate with
them. In fact the action of this committee
releases every Reformer in the
counties where au (lgiceuieut had
been made If theqe agreements are
carried out nr..1 this Independent htu- I
;utive committee succeeds iu irauy
on n ties us trey propose, Hien with J
the help tbev expect to get on the plea '
of peace uud unity from the counties ;
in which they have agreed they will '
entirely control the Convention. For i
instance, they are going to make a !
dear cut open tight iu many counties,
riiey may pretend to agree in Charles- !
ioc, Richlaud aud other Anticounties; j
Out these agreements will be repudiated j
on election day as sire as the sun 1
diines aud Anti Democrats will be
looted.
' I could came, but it would per- ;
laps be better not to do it at this j
.inie, enough counties that tbev thick :
bey will oarrv to aggregate seventy- j
wo votes by the use of the negro, j
rhen if tbev can pick up cine from |
Edgefield, Aiken, Marion, Lexingtou
ind Abbeville they will have a niajoi i- i
v of the Convention. This has been
heir game all along ami the corporaions
have been at the bottom of the
tvliole business. As long as they preended
(ami T know it was mere pre,ence)
to stay in the party lines I
jouldn't attack them. Now led by
Gtouzales, with such lieutenants as
Williams and Garliugiou, in open bat;le
with the organized Democracy, it
s my duty to tight them and defeat i
hem as such.
"If our people divide with them
hey can make up their min ds for these
?olitical beneficiaries to vote with the
independent and uegro as soon vs the
Convention is organized. They eau't j
ae t^i^ted. Ottiee and control of the j
it.ite is what they want, arid nothing !
?lse will ever satisfy them. They
.vkut control of the Convention to no?
lo and destroy everything that has
leendone since 1S90, and disfranchise
jnough poor, illiterate Democrats to
jive tlio rich man control of Son* ii
Carolina for all time to come.
"This is plain talk, out I meri eve f
word I say. The very idea of the j
>nor men of Laureus voting for some I
aeace-crying Independent *o keep him
from deserting his people, who will go
10 Columbia and join in with other
Independent Democrats to take away
heir political rights forever and place j

THE CONSERVATIVES' CAUCUS.
They Issue an Address to the People
of the State.
A conference of conservative leaders,
composed of ex-State Treasurer
E. R. Mclver, Senator Eltamont
Moses, of Sumter; Editors Gonzales,
of Columbia; Williams, of Greenville;
Oarlington, of Spratanburg; Langston,
of Anderson; Osteen,Sumter; Hollock,
of Cheraw; and others, was held in Columba
Friday night. The purpose of the
conference was to perfect plans for an
orgauized fight in the constitutional
convention campaign and the formation
of the conservative democratic party
in the state. The sentiment iB against
all compromises with the reformers
and a complete and tinal division of
the whites of the party in the state is
advocated. Encouraging reports have
been received from many counties
respecting the formation of the new
Party.
The following address was issued by
the Conference :
To tho people of South Carolina: On the
third Tuesday of August a convention will Is
elected which will meet at Columbia iu Sopemher
to make a new Constitution for this
State. This election will bo as importaut to
you as that of 1870. The men who will represent
you in this Convention will have more
power than any officials provided for by our

ail the Legislatures, the State and county
offices and Judges will be governed hereafter. |
All your personal and property rights and j
those of your children, your liberty and your j
children's liberty, the honorjand prosperity
au'i peace of the State wilt be in the keeping
of that Convention.
If the day of election for delegates find you ,
disorganized, undecided, divided by factional j
differ?-uces, persouul preferences aud local ]
interests, the politicians who coutrol the
party orgaui.'.ati ju and the State etoctiou '
machinery, the patronage and all the official
Intliieucs will easily secure absolute coutrol
i>t the Convention which will have such enormous
power over you aud yours.
We believe you have too much love for
your State, too much respect for your owu |
liberties and rights to surrender such power j
to tn?*u whose only interest aud apparent i
purpos-s to secure tor themselves permanent J
place ami rule regardless ol the results to !
the people and of the will ol the people.
The Conservative Democracy is the only
political organization in South Carolina not ,

A SKCOND TRIAL..
Kcstilis Id nu Acquittal for J. M'.uj /
Sullivan.
At Anderson, S. C., the jury in the
case of J. MimsSullivan, charged with I
the murder of Herman G. Oilreath in r
Greenville on June 14, 1892, after he- c
it;g out from 2 p. m. Friday till 12:10 1
p. m. Saturday, returned u verdict of ?
"oot guilty." i
This case wbh first called for trial at t
the July, 1892, term for Greenvilleand ?
continued on affidavits of the absence <
oT material witnesses for the defeuse. t
At the October term of the baip? year, ,]
ihe defeudaut moved to quash the (
panel of jurors o:i the ground thut the ]
sheriff of the couuty was a half brother ]
of the slaiu luaii. Judge James Aid- r
rich granted the motiou and as the 1
sheriff had justbeen re-elected for four t
years, ordered a change of venue to i
Anderson. At the Anderson spiing 1
term of 1893 the defendant demurred 1
lo the jurisdiction of the Anderson '
court. The demurrer was overruled I
and notice of appeal was given. Cir- 1
cuit Judge Izltu* decided to try the i
ease, lint was enjoined from doiug so 1
by Justice Pope of the Supreme ?
Court. (
It was at this term that the stir }
about alleged attempts to bribe jurors ?
occurred. ]
The Supreme Court sustained the t
lower court and remanded the case for ]
trial, lu October, 1893, the case was i
tried before Judge Wallace and a ver- <
diet of guilty was rendered. The de- i
fendant was sentenced to be hanged i
December 2'Jud, 1893. Execution v* _
staved pendiug an appeal to the Suprenio
Court for a new trial. <
In 1894 the defendant moved for aud <
secured suspension of his appeal to al- 1
low a uiotiou on circuit for a now trial t
on the ground of alter discovered evi- l
deuce. Judge Ernest G*iv head the i
-i ?.1 I i
The Supreme Court sustained the
appeal ou tiie grounds, chieHy, that 1
the judge erred iu excluding evidence
showing that the State's witness, Finlay,
hail made statements regarding
the shooting different from those he
made on *he witness stand, anil had
erred in his charge regarding the
taking of life; and ordered a new trial ;
arid the evidence was praetically the
same as that given ou at the form ar
trial when a verdict of guilty was re i
doted and a death sentence passed.
The Contempt Coses.

Instructive Meeting of Tobacco drawers.
The regular monthly meeting of tho
Darlington, S. C., Tobacco Growers'
Association was held in the court
house, Geu. W. E. .Tames presiding.
The subjects for discussion were priming,
topping and curing. Able aud
instructive addresses were delivered
by B F WilliuniBou, B. F. Smoot
aud others, after which the president,
H. E. Harmon, the wide awake editor
aud proprietor of the Southern To?

URCCO ijotimui, |{nvu luuui n mill. iu
wa., very unwell, but made a few remarks,
which were exceedingly complimentary
and encouraging. He
spoke of the tine atteudan9e, and mode
of disoussiou. He also said it would
be a short timo when this Aection would
grow in abundance the finest tobacco
in this country, and that the yield per
acre was much larger than *n Virginia
and North Carolina.
The committee appointed to look after
the interest of members in the matters
of royalties claimed by certain patentees
of barns, sticks, etc., made its
l'eport behind closed doors. Resolutions
of thanks were ^then voted the
committee for its good report,and also
to Mr. Harmon for his words of good
cheer.
Tho president read a few statistics
which weie very :uter"stihg. The
number of acvos planted last year were
770; barns constructed 130. This
year there is sn increase of 3,000 acres,
and 240 new barns. These figures
show that tobacco culture has become
a serious ousincss with these people.
A letter was read from Commissioner
E. L. Roach, in which he stated that
they would allow a special space for
tobacco oxhil)ita from that county iu
Atlanta, and that all other exhibits
would be placed iu the State collection
and would be plainly marked with tho
exhibitor's name and postoffioe address.
The subjects at the next meeting are
grading, packing and selling. These
subjects will also be dinouseed at tho
meeting of tho Agricultural and Mechanical
Association, which wi 1 be
held at the fair grounds tho first week
in August.
