Mot: long since the Greenville Neu,
drew 8 parallel between the records of
Wade Hampton and Governor Tillman.
Hanpton's record was such as would
command the admiration and love of the
people for all time, but he vas set aside to
make room for an unknown man. Tillman
4::Has never the hero of all the people, nor
1 'sshe hero with isfollowers that Hampton
was with the people Of the State. The
S.1leus warned Tillman that the day would
come, and speedily, when he, much more
$50 thar. Hampton, would be neglected
aSd forgotten, perhaps despised, by the
.ery people who have been loudest in
sssheir hurrahs for him. That day may be
snegar at hand than any one suspected.

SUPERINTENDENT OF THE ASYLUM.


Gov. Tillman has appointed DR.. j. W.
Babcock, of Chester, Superintendent Of
tha.State Lunatic Asylum. As far as is
known, it is a case of the Office seeking
the man. Dr.. Babcock is q young man, /,
and for the past five years has filled the
position of assistant Superintendent of an
Asylum at Somerville, Mass. The Gov
ernor had received number of applica--
tions for the position, but none of them
were "to his taste." He offered the post
to DR.. W. 81. Nardin, Of Anderson, who
declined in the following letter:

favor of the 9th instant at hand. Please
accept my thanks for the honor conferred
upon me, by your selection for the high

is with regret that ! am forced to decline

A Peculiar Poisoning.

BRUNSWICK, Ga, July Tom Ste.
phens, wife and three children, colored,
living within two miles of Sterling, q
station on the East Tennessee road, thir.
teen miles from Brunswick, very mar
rowly escaped death this week from slow
poisoning administered in peculiar
manner by revengeful negro neighbor.
Near Stephens cabin, when a Consti-
tuition representative arrived there to-day,
q group Of darkies was standing excitedly
discussing the matter, and from them
and later from reliable persons story
of the poisoning was obtained, that for
deliberate and diabolical villainy bears
off the palm.
Stephens and his family have for
long time been suing and being sued by
the negro neighbor about several matters.
Their constant recourse to the courts has
caused feeling of bitterness to exist
and multiply between them until lately
it has reached white heat, and the in.
terested parties concluded to kill off Ste
phens and his family, hoping to thus rid
themselves of their enemies.
From the woods large rattlesnake
was secured, his head with short piece
of body attached cut of, and this placed
in tin baking powder box. Through
the box holes were punched, and to it
brick was tied, and this was carried to
Stephens's we'll and thrown in. The
head putrefed and decayed, The pois.
onous matter from the snake oozed
through the rotten flesh, through
the perforated box and into the otherwise
pure water.
: Stephens and his family, unaware Of
their danger, drank and used the water
for cooking. Monday their bodies began
swelling. Tuesday the swelling increas-
ed; their muscles ,ached and their eyes
turned blood red; their mouths were
parched and water from the poisoned
we'll was vainly used to quench their
raging thirst.
Totally unconscious of their approach
ing doom the negroes still used the water
until finally the entire family was strick.
en- down unable to move their limbs, and
their eyes swollen out of proportion.
Friends happened along and medical aid
was secured, the water tested and found
impure, and to day the we'll was dragged,
the box containing the deadly dose found,
and the unusual sickness of the family
explained. They are now improving and
later will take steps to spprehend the
person who committed the deed.

.TBE CHARLESTON suPERv1soRsH1p.

Gov. Tillman has discovered by this
time, We suspect, that the long, weary
road he was anxious to travel, is even
more stumpy than he anticipated. His
pride must have been severely shocked
when he found out that the Governor of
South Carolina, as we'll as the humblest
citizen, must act as the the Constitution
and laws of the State direct. He
doubtless feels aggrieved that an official
act Of his is declared illegal by Circuit
Judge.
It will be remembered that Supervisor
CantweIl was removed from Office on the
ground, presumably, that he held two
Offices at the same time, being Clerk of
the County Commissioners as we'll as Su.
pervisor of Registration. Mr.. Geo. W.
Williams, rich banker, was given the
place. Mr.. CantWell claimed that the
Governor had not the authority to remove
him, IS he had been appointed by the
Governor, with the advice and consent of
the Senate, and therefore could be remov.
ed by only the same authority.
The case was argued before Judge
Wallace, and he decided in Mr.. Can't
wells favor, saying that the two Offices
held by Cantwell were not such as fell
under the prohibition of the Constitution
on that subject, and therefore il was com.
petent that the duties of these two Offices
be performed by one man also, as the
Constitution prescribed by what authori-
ity- Supervisors must, be appointed, it
needed the concurrence of the same au-
thority to displace them.
We suppose no one outside Of Char
lesion cares who is Supervisor, or from
which faction he comes, but everyone
must see the wisdom of the law as con-
strued by Judge Wallace, for it is just
isuch structures as these imposed by our
laws that keep Governor from becoming
dictator.
Had Judge Wallace been venal
Judge his decision might have been diff
ferent, for he is spoken of for the Sa-
preme Bench. Our Judges are virtuous,
and We believe any one of them would
rather be right than be Chief Justice of
South Carolina. We hope his chances
are just as bright, and that he will lose
favor with no one because of his decis-
ion.

village of Nomads and the performances

already been engaged. The Agricultural
displays, the Crysanthemum show, the.

Aberdeen, Yesterday, to-day
and Tomorrow.

Notwithstanding the vastness of the
undeveloped resources of this region. and
in spite Of the disadvantages OF poor COM
munication, both of which should tend to
hamper SO materially her growth and
progress, Aberdeen's superior location
was too obvious to be overlooked, and
pioneer enterprise has established itself
here. Five years ago the site on which
the city is built was covered with timber.
Eighteen months ago We had 800
people; to-day the city has population
of more than 1000. 1t is the manufacture
ing, commercial and financial centerof the
great Grays Harbor basin. Here have
been attracted acluster of industries that
have an aggregate payroll OF 100000 per
month. These consist of four saw mills,
three canneries, boiler, machine-shops
and foundry, sash and door plant, plan
ing mill, ship-yard, brewery, clear manu-
factory, metal works, etC. Aberdeen is
at present the best lighted city OF it's size
in the state. Brilliant arc lights flash
out in the night from every corner. The
offices and stores are lighted by perfect
system of incandescent lights.

Aberdeen and Her Fishesiss,

Another industry Of principal impor-
lance here is the fishing interests OF the
region. Grays Harbor and all its tribu-
tary streams are stocked with millions Oh
salmon and other fish. The catching
and packing OF these fish is one of the
thriving industries Of Aberdeen, which is
constantly increasing in Importance and
III the amount of its output. Banks oT
halibut, cod and other deep sea fish are
located just off the north of the Harbor,
and as this is about the only port between
the Columbia river and Puget S.,7n3, t
certainly must be the great deep sea fish
market of the North Pacific Coast. The
mart for these fish is from the coast to
Minnesota. Preparations are already
under way to develop this very impor-
tant food supply.

The Gateway to an Empire.

The most casual glance at any map
showing the coast line OF Washington will
show that Grays Harbor is the natural
gateway to the new state OF Washington.
It will show that from Aberdeen to the
head of Puget Sound it is but forty miles
by rail, while the distance between the
two points by water is fully FOUR HUN
DRIED MILES, Or in other words, from
the time ship passes Grays Harbor
north bound for Seattle Or Tacoma, until
she passes again going south, she has
travelled OVER SEVEN HUNDRED
MILES. In addition to this, her captain
has paid out nearly one thousand dollars
tow bill for being lowed BOTH ways from
the Straits of Juan de Fuca to Seattle or
Tacoma and back to the ocean. Whereas,
with the completion of railroads already
under construction, that ship will come
into Grays Harbor, get her freight, which
can be brought to her from the wheat
belt of Eastern Washington at the SAME
RATE 1T WILL BE LAID DOWN ON
THE SHORES OF PUGET SOUND,
because there can be no question but that
Aberdeen as acoastwise port will be made
a common point with Seattle, Tacoma
and Portland on all through rate sheets.

The Railroad Situation.
Aberdeen, Natures Metrop-
oils Of Southwestern
Washington.

1t is one of the wonders of western de-
velopment and civilization that Seattle,
Tacoma and Spokane Falls, have become
household words from the Rocky Noun
tains to the Atlantic coast, and Aber-
deem, a city that has local resources equal
to either of them, and one whose loca-
ton as a seaport furnishes advantages far
superior to the Sound cities, should, up
to eighteen months ago, be comparatively
unknown. Such. was the case until new
blood, new money and new men, recog-
nizing the fact that with the filling up
and development of the new state, there
must be great coast wise city on the
shores OF 'Grays Harbor, and that Aber-
deems magnificent location at the june
ton of two rivers and at the head of nav
igation would easily place her far in adj
vance Of any point or city in Southwest
ern Washington, located themselves there
and worked industriously and intelli-
gently to make known to the general
public, the tremendous resources Of the
Grays Harbor country. The result OF
their work is that no city in the North
west is better thought of or is attracting
more careful attention from the investor,
business man, speculator or home seeker
and mechanic, than this thriving city at
the head of Grays Harbor.

smingles it, waters with those Of the Che
halls, which, in turn, mergss itself into
Gray's Harbor, about one mile below the
mouth Of the Wishkah. This junction.
at the mouths oftwo rivers and bay,
gives Aberdeen deep water frontage not
equaled by any city on the Sound or in
the state, and make it natural
location for the. building Of . city.
The business portion Of the town is stu
ated on a level apron Of land running
back from the river for distance OF four
or five blocks, where it begins to rise by
a gentle slope to . height Of fifty to sew
enty-five feet above the water line ;sthere
it maintains level plateau for an indefi-
mite distance back, where the fine resi-
dence portion OF the city will undoubtedly
be built. From it a splendid view may
be obtained of the valley and the harbor
and the sanitary conditions are all that
may be desired.
