DIR. Pope was apparently very mad
but would not talk. He has, it is re

occasions, so the people of State neec

TO TILLMANIZE THE ENTIRE STATE.
Other discussions followed DR. Pope:

planting of an organ in every county
in the shape of a weekly paper, in ad.

the assemblage had ever heard of Jose

On that order, but more comprehensive
as to perquisites. That would never
do.
Then the Cotton Plant came up
again. Why had not that paper been

OTHER MATTERS DISCUSSED.
After the adjournment the assem-

committee to the Governor.
Coosaw and the railroads were dis

WHAT TIE GOVERNOR SAYS ABOUT IT.
The State, June 9th.
The full expose of the Charleston
World of the recent secret meeting in
this city of the administration mag
mates giving the letter of the Governor
has been mentioned. Yesterday, the
Governor having returned to the city
was asked what he had TO say about it.

said he: "It has only enough truth in
it to make it the biggest lie of the
season." He Acknowledged writing
the letter published, but is at a com
plete loss to understand how it got ont.
He could see no way for it to have
reached the press fairly. AS to the
Worlds account, he said: at is chock
full of Inaccuracies and misstatements."
So saith the Governor.
