THE STATE'S ! BABY COUNTY. ? I CAROLINA'S KKW COUNTY HAS ' ISR1CMT PROSPKCTS. Story of the Laying of tho Cornn Stone?The Past ? Record to bo Proud of. Tuesday of last week was a great day for Red Rank, Saludu'a county seat, j Five thousand people gathered there; to witness tho laying of the coruer etone of the court house. As yet its | houses nre nil sum ly onus. n uum a church and piles of 1:::11??or uro to be , Bocu on nil sides. The towu to 1 >o is lo- I cutcM on uii elevated point, with good > drainage possibilities, itn?l seven springs furnishing sparkling, pure drinking water for ninii, In ast audi fowl. The public roads, all well bridged and kept up, and loading in all directions, converge at this point. Tlio county will have no expanse at all in the matter of opening roads, thanks j to the good Christian people of the territory, who for over a century have been worshipping ai ihe church at this point. A few words about, the gloiioiia past j , of this section which was a portion ot tho origiual Nimty-Six district, will not be amiss. It was settled by enii grantsof the class indicated, who came down from Virginia after Col. (iraut bail defeated the Cherokecs in 1 7b3. This locality 1ms always been a place | of public worship. Abrani 1'Vrgiisou, a noted Tory, was a deacon of the samo j church now maintained here wher. it was founded in 17^1. In thoso days j thoro was regular preaching here under a large arbor. After a while the people | ^ hail some trouble among themselves ! aud the Tory preacher was jailed at . Ninety Six. ami w as succeeded by >1 r.o. | Thomas, a Whig preacher. Tho Tories j later tried t.? have a separate church, 1 after the Whigs got coutrol. An interesting story is told ot the efforts to | 1 gain possession of tho buildiug. One | 1 night when st rvice was to be held the ( outahh t ' t . piece of pine, bored n lt.il.- i:; 'n it it to blow up the j I?: 'in' war of 1812 came ' , on. : . - . . me pastor, took up ai'r* : > .1 ill the head of nun c ?m i,:-- , . : '.itioii i.s chaplain.

Now the future j will bo cnrad for ami it may bo pre- t dieted thr.' Saluda will ho one of South Car hna's h'uuuohcst countieH.

Haskell in a commui ; cation to tho Columbia Stnto frc Washington county, Virginia, of a i i cent date, has this to say in roflj I the Governor's speech at Cheraw: I I have seen vour miner of the ?!l and 21th; in the first there is ? rope ( of the campaign meeting tit C'hcraw, I whieh Mr. .John (tnry Kvans is repoi ' eil ns saying: ".lohn Haskell says t j Mvuum boys howled Hiunpton dow but ho knew it was a lie." For sevei years i have earefnlly avoided expri | sing in pnblie mv opinion of the huu ' luting events that have occurred iu o old State, culminating in the docp d grueo which put this vile little detnag gue in the governor's chair. Ho b . gone out of his way to make a want attack on me and seeks to make poli eal capital out of it. I don't belie ' that the people of our State, if th knew him, would support him for ai i position and I believe that many w j disagree with mo in polities, will n . hesitate to believe anything that I 6 J and this induces tuo to take notice what 1 would otherwise treat with t j utter contempt that I feel for tl persou. First, ns to his charge, when he pi I tends to ipiote me, lie knows that j willfully lies, (reuural Hampton we to Aiken, not as a candidate, but as | invited guest.

Ho bus denied then and doubtless, if it serves liis pu pose, will lie about it again. I nev spoke of the F.vuus boys, for I did n suppose that ho bad any followei cM'n among tboso who insulted Ge | eta! llatnpton. i And now a word to bis enreer. I w a member of the I.legislature when j lirst enmo there and was couusel f the Kicbtnond and Danville road. ; hoard of bint as a lawyer of rather lc standing at the Aiken bar. From co versatious I had with him I enmo the conclusion that be wanted to 1 1 employed by the railroad. Soon aft my professional connection with cleu ing the titles of coal and iron proper I in Virginia and North Carolina toi j up so much of my time that I resign ns counsel for the llichmond and Da j villo Railroad. I was consulted by t oUlcers as to who to retain, and ainoi \ others, advised them to employ., 6t?me capacity, Mr. John Gary fcCvac | as I warned them he would give troisb ! if nut bought. Very hoou he was p | on ns a director of one of the braui r> ails in Carolina. Within a few da of his appointment, liis brother fro ; Kdgelield, ami his uncle, from Geo , gin, appeared for the lirst time in tl General Assembly as attorneys for t! I'll" villo Iluilroad. They ?lut the sail at tlio ensuing sessions until M lohn Gary livaus was dropped froi , the board. Now 1 challenge him to write to tl party who employed him and see if 1 ' will sav that this appointment of brotl er and uncle was not made to seen: ins influence against hostile legislntio; Don't let him just deny it; of course 1 will he ready to lie out of it. I knows who employed him; let him at that man in writing. As to the bond matter, Mr. Kbit stated to the syndicate that of tl large commissions which ho rctaiuo< tin- bulk hud to go to parties whose i llueiiee was needed in the South Can iina Gcneinl Assembly.

This year ji- tho society has the appropriation from >m tha State again, and tho coming fair ' promises even now to be tho greatest re" held in recent years. Besides, there it) will be no Atlanta exposition to opor- , ate against it. r,j The managers of the great exposi- i ir? tion are sparing no pains to make the I i jn coming fair the grandest ever held in I South Carolina, and the conditions are j such that it can he made so. n Secretary llolloway writeo a letter to !

It is to bo ! lttS hoped that the demand will eommeuco | ()I1 at oucc, ko as to give ample time for l jj. exhibitors to get their exhibits ready, j vo Kutry sheets will also bo furnished, i 1 Cy when desired. uy "It has been a hard struggle with ! the graud ohl society to survive tho | past four years, hut as the people of ! fty the State are in better condition, fiuan0j oially, socially and politically, strong jie hopes are entertained that the bitteruess throughout the State has in a measure passed away and that henco>G. forth all may become harmonious again and that prospoiitv may bo en- j nt hy all our people. lin "The fair next November promises ! ce to be unusually successful. Stalls are ! QO being already engaged for stock. Sales | of live stock on the grounds at auction I ,n^ will be one of tho interesting features ! jf of tho fair.

BIG DAY AT ! ORANGEBURG.! SENATOR Til, 1,31 AN ANI> TII03IAS COItli SPEAK At liowmuii's Park ? The Senator Scores .Itidge Sliuonton?Prof. Crulglicud .Makes a Hit. # ? Wednesday was n red-letter day for Orangoburg. People from all sections of tba' and adjoining counties were there to hear Senator Tillman and Thos. 11. 11. Cobb speak. Tko spoaking was held at Lowmau's Park and an admittance fee of 10 cents was charged for the benefit of the Tillmau Volunteers, who are raising funds to pay for their uniforms. The Governor's Volunteers, of llluckvillc, Captain II. P. Dyehes commanding, and the Kdisto Guards, of Blackvillc, Cnpt. W. S. Shelton commanding, came over on the South Carolina and Georgia train via Branehville. At 11 o'clock Senator Tillman and lion. Thomas 11. 11.

William Stokes acted as t bairmau, and introduced the speakers in appropriate words. Mr. Cobb, the .irst speaker, entirely captured his audience from the lirst sentence ho uttered. He is another of the brilliant "boy orators," for he does not appear to be more than 2."? yours old, though he is fluent, eloquent find forceful, and a remaikably handsome young man. As Mr. Cobb advanced to the front f the platform a voice rang out: "You're a little Cobb." "Yes." quickly replied the voting orator, "Senator Tillman has just told J toe that if 1 didn't speak over thirty minutes you folks over here would take me for a 'mibbiu*." (Laughter.) lie said he had always had a high j pinion of this grand old sister State *" > Georgia.

(Applause.) Why were the' politicians of the North and Last fight- ! ing and misrepresenting Tillman V He- i ease the birds always pick at the ripest j fruit. They charge Tillman with an- i archy because they dreaded his pure j Detnocrucy. Such men as Tillman, fresh from ! the' people, inspired the recent Chicago platform which hail recommitted l)em- j neracy to its old time honest position. 1 I'uev had miopted a platform and put upon it a tick* t whieu would sweep the entire country. He reviewed the powers which the Crated States Cotuta ar? usurping, lie ; said the courts were by some held in , sacred reverence. No men, he said, were entitled to more respect and re--- | iTeiice than tlio disciples of Christ, yet j no ot them was u traitor who betrayed J ins Lord. He scored Cleveland on all sides. He ' iidmitted that he went to voting for i Cleveland before he was old enough. Laughter.) Hut then ho was votiug igainst the old centralized Republican i [.artv and his vote was needed. Cleveland had departed further from Demo- | L-raey than any other President hud over done. He had usurped power , and exerebod authority that were not 1 authorized l>y iuw. lie had even sent ' armed soldiers to Homestead to shoot I town innocent men.

Noonoelso would j lo it for thorn. At this point Dr. Stokes had to ask those crowding ou the stand to get off, us the ladies wuuted to see the speaker. Senator Tillman said yes, for since he got the kissing in Denver ho ulways wanted the ladies to see hitn. Ho rofereed to his emburrussment when he tirst carno as a farmer to this couuty to address tho pooplo at Jerusalem Church, and ho was grateful and proud of the greut conlidenco they still had in him. It appeared to him when ho made his speech in the Senuto that tho cause of tho people was very nearly hopeless, but now Bryan was nominated uud ho believed no wo aid bo elected. Jefferson began his light in 1796, just one hundred years ago, aud in 1801 ho was inaugurated President. There was no such a thing as a gold Democrat, aud there could not be. Ho told how Whitney, Hill and others went in palace cars to Chicago to inllucuce tho members of tho convention, aud how they failed. Bryuu was a friend of tho people aud was a pure hearted man. He ulso spoko of the danger of tho power of the courts, aud scored Judge Simonton for issuing .... ; 4., i r lowering rates. They should lmvo no such authority. The corporations had the country l>y the throat and was choking the )>oople to death. It would take just such a man as Bryan to straighten things out. A voice: "What do you think of abolishment of the fertilizer tax?" Senator Tillman: "My friend, it would kill Clemson College, in my opinion. If you are obliged to go before the Legislature every year and make the support of the college dependent upon each Legislature, you had better closo the doors of the college at once. We have hud in the past some friction at the college, but everything there is running smoothly now." The sensation of the day was Tillman's attack on Simonton. In opouing on this point, the Senator said it was needless for him to rehash to South Carolinians Simontou's judicial conduct iu our local atlairs, and how wo whipped him outiu law or in eil'cct of every position he took. 4'You all kuow ttiut as well as I do, but, fellow citizens yesterday this man assumed to contradict the right of solvent corporations to cut rates on passenger fares or freights. All that ho ever did aguiust us never amounted to this tremendous usurpation. This involves everything. These corporations not beiug iu his receivers' bauds and being solvent, the iujunctiou he granted against them is equal <i... i'. ,..1, have the right to say what u corporation shall not charge for hauling freight or passengers, and if we concede tho court's right to bay what our solvent corporations shall not charge, tho logical result is they will thereby achieve the right to say what private corporations shull charge. JJut mark my words, this usurpation of this Judge will play u part in tho present national campaign. For, if we concede such rights in the Federal Courts all liberty of person, us illustrated in the Debs case; all safety of property, us illustrated in the present case; all rights of the American citizen will be ingulfed in the awful usurpation of these conKcieiicelesH Judges. Criticise them, yes we have the right to criticise them, and it they force us much further the People will right their wrongs by choking them or hanging them." l'rof. F. it. Craighead, of Clemsou College, was requested t<> address tho people after the political speeches, on the subject of education. Cougressuiau Stokes introduced President Cruighead, and the professor spoke for about au hour. Ilia address was replete with scliolust''* eloquence, learning and elegance, out the most interesting part of tho discourse was that its whole tone and purpose was to arouse the agricultural classes to tho importance of thoroughly c locating their children. The matter of tho speech was so interesting that not u man moved in the large audience while the professor was speak.ng, and it could be easily seen that the people there drunk in and appreciated his btirring words and appeal. The citizens of Oruugeburg and udjoiniug counties, who heard tins address, were unstinted in their praises, and hundreds were heard to say: "That speech will do good." "lie is an earnest and able mun." "If is work will be felt here," ,Vc., Ac. I!?*sullo<l in !<loo<ls])i'<l, Tiii- r?-ii'".v:tl o! tin- Mriki- nl tin- Urowii !tn: tin-; \Vor!> in 1fit i , - .in I.
