The Callison Giants Reply to the
Troy Midgets.

Mr.. EDITOR: The Callison giants
took a trip to Troy last week and
were sorry to see that evolution
had advanced no further in the
city. We don't know what they
evoluted from unless it was a tad
pole.
The Callison boys do feel hon.
ored to be ed.giants. We have
always known thst the Troy mid
gets looked upon US as giants, so
they are not all surprised to hear
of it. Large fruits spring from
rich soil.
AS to the young ladies, Troy can
boast of some beauties; but we
think they should like the CALI
son giants or Cuffeetown wildcats.
So perhaps the midgets will smell
the breath of the wildcats again.
Do not think, Mr.. Editor, that
the Callison boys dislike to be
called giants or wildcats, for they
are proud of the title. We would
be glad to have some of the mid
gets over here, as itwould improve
their physical condition by merely
being with ourgiants and drinking
Cuff eetown water.

SHAKEN BY EXPLOSION.
Destruction of Immense Powder
Works Near Sa nFrancisc0.

SAN Francisco, July 9.-An ex-
plosion occurred at the Giant and
Judson Power Works, near West
Berkeley, shortly after 9 o'clock
this morning, destroying the works
and much property for several
miles around. Five shocks were felt
in this city within a few minutes,
the last four beingof terrific force,
shaking buildings, cracking a num-
ber of walls and breaking plate
glass in buildings eight blocks
away from the water front. The
scene of the explosion is twelve
miles from the city.
The giant powder works were
completely destroyed. One hudred
and eighty men, principally Chin
ese, were employed there. tits now
believed that one hundred and four
persons were killed, including
three white men. The explosion set
the adjoining buildinings fire, and
owing to the danger of additional
explosions no one is venturing near
the works to stop the progress of
the flames. The firs is close to q
magazine containing 5000 tons
of powder, and fear is. expressed
that it may be destroyed.
Among the white men known to
killed are Wallace I,ickerson, Char.
les Canburdy and John Bow. The
body of q Chinaman was found on
the railroad track half a mile from
the works. The remains Of a boy

frightfully mangled, were found
near the scene.
Every window in the county jail
at Oakland was broken by The ex-
plosion. All the windows in the
residences in the town of West
Berkeley were broken and several
buildings were reported destroyed.
At the office of the giant powder
company, in this city it was
thought that the Judson works,
which are located at Labelle, about
three miles from the giant works,
were safe. The giant works are To-
Gated at Point Isabelle and High
land near Siege, and comprime five
buildings and three magazines. OF
these buildings the acid and nitro
glycerine were destroyed, and at
least one magazine is blown. put
The other buildings not imme-
diately destroyed took fire. The
loss on the property will be great.
The explosion shattered the
window all over San Francisco,
blew in the skylights, broke the
plate glass on Montgomery avenue,
California stree. Montgomery
street, Kearney street. and othe
thorough fore and causedpeople to
rush into the streets as though the
convulsion was about to tumble all
the buildings about their ears.
CONSERVATION was still at its
hightwhel there followed two more
shocks, little less severe than the
terrific one which had just been felt
Glass ratified into the streets all
over the ity,and not a few build
ings, according to their inmates,
came near collapsing. The men an
the tower of the fire alarm station.
were sure that that structure was
going to collapse.
The intensity OF the shock:can
be appreciated when it is known
that it was distinctly, felt at
Sacramento, eighty miles distant,
and that windows were cracked at
Napa and other points along the
bay shore, twenty-five miles from
the scene of the explosion. y.
Il The powder company decline to
give particulars regarding the
number of men employed, but
three white men, heretofore men
toned, are believed to be all the
whites killed. AS to the Cinnamon
no definite information can be-had
but the figures heretafore given
(101 xilled) are probably exagger-

insulting The Reformers.

A correspondent, writing from
Greenwood, says that Chairman
Dibble recently visited that town
and held one of his Sheppard
glorifcation meetings. One of the
speakers boasted that the vote he
cast for Judge A. G.. Haskell was
the proudest act of hic life; and
during the discussion the sup
porters of our State administration
were compared to "curs" and
coyotes"
We would like to know with what
sense of propriety can these ring
rule candidates, groomed by Dib-
bic, now come before an audience
Of South Carolina Democrats and
farmers, begging their support,
while uttering such dire and
infamous insults about them? We
are surprised that the ticket
representing tie "culture" and re-
finement" of our State would wish
to be placed in Office and power by
the votes of "curs" and "coyotesl"
AS nine-tenths or more of the far
mers of our State are friends and
supporters of Governor Tillman, OF
course when this outrageous and
vile comparison was made. they
were presumed to come under that
head.
When Judge Haskell made the
race against the nominees of the
Democratic party he was an
Independent, and you can make
| nothing else of his candidacy
And it certainly comes with poor
grace from one of Sheppard's most
blatant supporters to boast of his
voting against the nominees of his
i party in 1880, and then seek te
cast ridicule one such sterling
Democrats as Tillman, Irby and
Talbert, because they accepted the
verdict of the Chicago convention
We want to know how many o.
these "curs" and coyotes" inten
to be driven by abuse and insults
from standing up for Tillman anc
Reform? The tone of those Green
wood speeches shows the rea
opinion that the old ring leaders
entertain of our country people
/ And then you must bear in mine
that this meeting was called at tn
instance of Mr.. Dibble, and VIII,
presided over the same.
Talk about your slander ant
abuse! Has anything been said o
/ written by the Reformers that, fo
low-down scurrillous abuse, Cal
compare with those Greenwoo,
harangues? They show the venom
and hate in the breast of the oil
ring rule crowd and seeing an owe
whelming defeat staringthemin th
face, are denouncing,in the most of
fensive manner, every man who re
fuses to vote for their corporation
dictated ticket and the enslave
mentof our farmers and toilin
masses.
When Sheppard and his friend
come before you and ask your votes
bear in mind that at Dibble'
Greenwood meeting you were com
pared by one of the speakers t
acurs'' and Coyotes. ."-Columbi
