nomination for Lieut., Governor This, Of

State Committee in filing the position to

B. Carr, the nominee for Lieutenant.
Governor, is the present Secretary OF
State, and was the only candidate on the
Republican ticket elected in 1883. He

Tuesday. A few days ago Gen. Carr

- Julio r. Santos, a naturalized
American citizen lately released from
prison. in Ecuador, accompanied by
Congressman McComas, of Maryland,
called at the State department this morn
ing to pay his respects to the Secretary
and to thank him and the officials of the
department, who interested themselves
in his behalf, for their services. 10 q
reporter of the Associated Press Santos
said that the Ecuadorian authorities pre-.
tended to have liberated him in conse.
quence of the passage of an Act of par
don by the Ecuadorian Congress. This,
Santos declared, was q mere pretence.
He was liberated three days after the
arrival of the lroquois and wholly in
consequence of the action of the United
States Government. The charge again st
him of having conspired against the
Government of Ecuador was, he de-
clared, unsusceptible of proof and un'
true. He was imprisoned with some
other business men in order that money
might be extorted from him. He has
documentary proof of the willingness of
the authorities to release him at any
time upon the payment of 100000. He
was confined for time in an unventila-
ted and filthy coal hulk, and was then
transferred to prison situated IN the
basement of yellow fever hospital. Mr..
Santos will employ counsel Immediately,
and will file claim for damages with
the State department against the Gov
ernment of Ecuador. a.

Tobacco Culture.

Mr.. EDITOR: In your issue Of two
weeks ago, you request any one who has
been experimenting on tobacco the
present year to give their idea Of the
same. Last Winter l procured some
seed from the Agricultural Department
at Columbia, and divided them among
the members Of our Grange. I tried to
get each one to plant one.half acre il
tobacco, but I believe there was only one
member that planted as much as a half
acre besides myself, but believe that all
planted some, and l believe they are all
we'll pleased with the result of their
experiment. am convinced that tobac.
co culture would be paying business in
this County, provided we could find
ready sale for it. l planted one'half
acre this year on thin sandy soil, and
used one sack of Wando fertilizer on it.
My plants were set out very late and a
great many died, so did not get good
stand, but the opinion Of nearly every
one who has seen my patch is that l will
get fully one thousand pounds Of leaf
tobacco off Of the half acre. The great

GUILTY OF MURDER.

Gae of the most interesting murder
tflab of recent years was that of Eugene
w. Beck, which has just been concluded
in Rabuin County, Georgia, for the muir
der Of his wife, with the details Of which
tragedy our readers have heretofore been
acquainted. The prisoner was found
guilty Of murder, with recommendation
to mercy, which in Georgia fixes the
punishment at imprisonment in the PEN
itentiary for life. The Constitution says:
aFor this result credit is due Messrs.
Patterson, who stated the Law in the case;
the magnificent sitting of the testimony
by Mr.. Claude Estes, and the appeal for
Justice made by Colonel @. D. Phillips.
But the murderer's neck has been saved
from the hangman's moose! And as the
prisoner feels his neck to make sure that
his head is still on his shoulders, he may
thank MIR. e. z. Lumpkin, who ana
lived the Law; Captain Harry Jackson,
who 80 successfully sustained the theory
of insanity and Ex-senator Pope Bal
row, who pleaded so earnestly for justice
TO the defendant. A more remarkable
legal contest has never been waged in a
Georgia Court, and the skill Of the ad.
. yocate was never more sharply called
fsto play"
The State concluded its case with the
testimony of Mr.. Julian, Beck's brother
in.law, who after telling of the killing,
ssaid:
.Beck told me that he ought
D be hung as an example to the
,ounp men Of Rabun. Tell sister, said
Zhe (Mrs. Julian) that I love her, and l
want her to pray for me. Tell Annie
[ifhe wife ofBr. Bailey, of Gainesville to
pray for me, too.'"
The defense plead insAnity, and put up
q number Of witnesses to proveit. They

The Augusta Chronicle says that Col.
Nicholas Smith. who married one Of
Horace Greeley's: daughters, repelled a
SANDER in these words: Il am reminded
that truth is q dull domestic fowl which
rarely stirs from home, while scandal is
bird Of prey that lives upon the
wing" There is much strength in this
comparison. It isa sad reflection that
falsehood too often finds base mind to
invent and numerous mouths tocirculate
its calumnies. There is consolation,
however, in the knowledge that 'Truth
crushed to earth will rise again." Mis-
representation and falgehood are short
lived, while truth grows brighter and
stronger as the veil is torn from the face
ofslander.

missioner, in the place of Mr.. L. J.
Walker, resigned. There were quite a
number of other applicants, some Of
them most excellent gentlemen, and Of
course there is much disappointment
ovee the resnlt on the part of the friends
of unsuccessful applicants. There were
several of them who we're abundantly
qualified for the position, and would have
made excellent officers; but the leading
business men and political leaders Of
Charleston urged Mr.. Jervey most
strongly, and as Charleston is the leading
commercial city of the State, and as
such interested to greater extent than
any other portion of the State in the
operation of the Railroad Commission, it
is reasonable that one of the three Com
missioners should be appointed from that
city. Mr.. Jervey has had large business
experience and is endorsed so strongly
that there can be no doubt that be is
thought by business men to be the right
man for the place. and hence we regard
the appointment, without personal ac-
,quaintance with Mr.. Jervey, a most

THE III PKNDLErON STOCK SHOW

The exhibition Of blooded horses,

Rendleton on next Thursday, the
eighth inst, bids fair TO be mammoth,
affair. Last year the exhibition was far
beyond the xpectation of its originaton,
aud those who attended we're delighted,
both with the pleasant meeting and the
magnificent display Of live stock. This
year greater preparations have been
made, and greater inducements Tor at
tendance offered. An excursion train
from Ninety Six and return will be run,
arriving at Pendleton at 10 o'clock a. m.,
.agd leaving at some convenient hour in
che afternoon, 80 that large crowd from

than Pendleton. and at this time those

the most progressive, intelligent and
successful stock growing section Of South
-
Carolina. The display Of blooded horses
and registered cattle will, We are conf,

lbeen made in South Carolina. In addi.
