"NON.PARTISAN'' MEETING.

Monday night, a "non-partisan"
meeting was held at the court house
in this city. 1t was called and en-
gineered by Alec Johnson, the rail
road attorney, for the sole purpose
Of creating sentiment against Gov.
Lewelling and the Populist legislat-
ors. 1t was just such a meeting as
those held in the cities and towns
throughout the state-held in cities
and towns because they are the Re-
publican strongholds and in every
instance they were called and man
aged by railroad attorneys or their
lickspitles and "supes." They were
called for the purpose of passing
resolutions derogatory to our pres
ent state government, publishing
the resolutions in the papers all over
the country as being the sentiments
of the people of Kansas, without re-
gard to politics, and thus creating
false sentiment abroad.
The Garrett meeting was like
those of other towns-composed, in
the main, of Republicans. People
in the country knew nothing about
the meeting, so but few farmers at
tended, and most of them became
Disguised and left before the meet
ing was over.
Some very mild speeches were
made by Messrs, Kirk, Her and 9th
ers, but the "boss" and his satellites
were loud in their denunciation of
the Governor, the Populist house
and Populists in general. They
prated of "disloyalty," perjury"
anarchy" etc., forgetting that to
them belong those epithets. They
choose to forget about the money
and whisky 50 lavishly scattered
about among the voters for the pur-
pose Of bribing voters, and thus Sc
curing members of the Legislature.
They forget about how they import
ed voters thousands of them), and
sent free railroad passes to bring
back men who had been absent from
the state two and three years, and
voted them like so many cattle. o,
yes; they forget all about their own
violation of law in their anxiety to
create a false sentiment and steal

They die hard, but the death
rattle is in their thrOats.

The Kansas City Times Of We'd
nesday contains the following item !:
"a leading Republican senator said
to the Times correspondent: lit is
only a matter of a short time before
the Democrats and Republicans get
together. There is bound to be a
union party composed of Republic
ans and Democrats in Kansas, who
will stand together on all state is
sues until this lawless Populist
party is entirely destroyed. The
respectable and law-loving people OF
the state can no longer tolerate this
sort of thing, and for selfprotection
they will be compelled to bury par
tisan prejudice in behalf of the
state s good name Yes, a Demo
crat will be elected United States
senator by Republican members of
the legislature"

Ex-President Hayes is dead.
The Anderson intelligencer. [volume] (Anderson Court House, S.C.) 1860-1914, 1893-01-25
Hampton and Hayes.

There is one man in this State who can
speak with knowledge of Mr.. Hayes
services to South Carolina and the South,
and that man is Wade Hampton. With
loyalty to the memory of the man who
withdrew the bayonet from the throat Of
South Carolina, Ex-Governor Hampton
sends the State This tribute to the dead
president;
"To the Editor Of the State: in several
papers of the State references are made to
Mr.. Hayes as the fraudulent president"
and as having committed grave crime,
An editorial or the Greenville Nea0a does
Justice to the dead president, and ! take
pleasure in saying that in my opinion
only Justice has been done him in it..
Why should he be denounced for COM
hitting "a crime7' The Democrats pro-
posed the tribunal to which the question
of the presidency was to be referred, and
they did this supposing that maturity
of the board appointed would decide in
their favor. The Republicans, by the
sharp practice to which they are familiar,
defeated this expectation, and the board
appointed to adjudicate this vexed ques-
ton decided that Mr.. Hayes was elected
president. He had nothing to do with
this determination, aud there was no
option left to him but to accept the Office
adjudged to him by tribunal accepted
by the Democrats. Had he refused to
accept the Office of president what would
have been the result2 The vice president
Of the Republican party would have been
inaugurated, and we of the South would
have Jared badly. Under no possible
contingency would Tilden have been
made president, aud it was owing to his
own cowardice that this was made i'm
possible.
II hold Mr.. Hayes blameless in this
whole transaction, and we Of South Caro-
lima owe him debt which we can not
repay, for but for his copscientiousuess
we should never have regained control of
the State, To him we owe, in great part
the redemption of South Carolina, and he
was to us the best friend the State ever
know. Knowing what he did for our
people, and knowing how much he did
for us, feel that am only discharging
debt of gratitude when pay my hom-
age to the dead president. I regarded
him as my friend, because he had been
the friend of my people, and whatever
may be said of him, his administration
was clean, honest, and without oas slur
upon his memory:
I concur with what Is said about him
by the Greenville News, for while he
was not great man, he was copscien=
tious, true and honest one; one to whom
we of the South owe more than we can
ever repay. WADE HAMPTON"

Surprising Testimony.

Many physicians who have examined
into the merits of B. B. B. Botanic Blood
Balnn), have been confronted with testi-
uony which they deemed surprising,
and thus being convinced Of its wonder
full efficacy, have not failed to pre-
scribe it in their practice as occasion re-
quired.
H. l.. Cassidy. Kennesaw, Ga, writes :
"For two years my wife was great suf-
ferer. Skillful physicians did her no
good. Her mouth was one solid ulcer,
her body was broken out in sores, and
she lost beautiful head of hair. Three
bottles Of B. B. 3. cured her completely,
incredible as it may sonud, and she is
now the mother of healthy, three
months old baby clear from any scrofu-
lous taint."
A. II. Morris, Pine Bluff, Ark,
writes: "Hot Springs and several doc
tors failed to cure me of several running
ulcers on my leg. B. b. B. effected a
wonderfully quick cure after everything
clse had failed"

Rutherford B. Hayes Dead.

FREMONT, o., Jan. lex President
Rutherford p. Hayes died at II o'clock
tonight Early in the evening an er.
quiry elected the response that the Gen
eral had passed fairly we'll day and was
resting nicely this evening. The change
from better to worse was rapid, and at
II o'clock the ex-President passed away.
The first intelligence of this was received
when Webb G. Hayes came down town
and announced that his father had Just
died.
Ex-President Hayes was brought here
last Saturday, suffering from an attack
of rheumatism of the heart, with which
he had been stricken at Cleveland. 1t
was the second attack of the kind he had
suffered within two weeks, and although
his condition was regarded as somewhat
serious and excited the alarm of the fam
lily, the encouragement given them by
DR.. Hilbest, the family physician, led
them to believe that the patient would
soon recover,
For this reason all knowledge of tho
ex-President's illness was kept from the
public, and tho fact that he was suffering
from heart trouble did not become known
till yesterday afternoon.
While DR.. Hilbest remained almost
constantly at tho patients bedside, no
alarming symptoms appeared until this
evening, when he became rapidly worse.

Want to be Big Barkeeper.

COLUMBIA, S. c., Jan. 2 0.-There ale
already on file in the Governors oeice a
number of applications for the position of
commissioner to be appointed under the
provisions of the Evans Dispensary Act.
The applications come from different
parts of the State and are from very good
men. Yesterday, in conversation with
John Gary Evans, the author of the bill,
be said that he would like to see certain
Charleston wholesale dealer appointed
commissioner. The Office is worth 81 500
and is very responsible position, and
will carry with it the handling of as much
money and goods as any office in the
State.
Governor Tillman says that there is no
special need to hurry in the appointment
of the commissioner. It is his intention
to get the very best man he can tor the
place, and one on whom he can absolute
ly depend.
Talking about the desire to get the law
into the Courts for test as to its consti-
tutionality he said that he had no objecr
tions. He said he would like to see the
law put to the test OF the Courts, and did
not care low soon it was done. There
was nothing on which suit could be
based, so far us be could see, and the only
thing possible according to his idea was
to wait until july let the law 60 into
effect and then try its constitntionality.
1t is evident that the Evans bill Is
attracting considerable attention, and
there are some other ambitious leaders
who want to inmnrtalize themselves.
Here is sample letter.
LINCOLN, NEB.-iSecretary Of State
Dear Sir: Will you send me by return
mail copy of the bill known as the
Evans dispensary system. I want to in
troduce the same bill in our Legislature,
now in session here. 1t has created quite
discussion among the temperance peo-
pie here, and am very anxious to see
what our lawmakers will do with it.
Yours cordially, SARAH M. SMITH.
The demand for copies of the bill con-
tinues to be quite heavy and it will not
be long before every Prohibitionist in the
country will knew sll about the famous
measure,

Bonds Placed at Par.

COLUMBIA, 8. c., Jan Ex-Governor
Tillman and State Treasurer Bates have
practically entered into an agreement
with the Baltimore Trust and Guarantee
company, of Baltimore, to take two mil
lion dollars worth of the State ~ per cent.
bonds at psi and probably all of the State
deLt, The contract has not been signed
but the outlook is that it will be ratified
in few days. The inducement offered
is the amount of semi-annual interest on
the stock. The bonds will not be issued
until July lst, 1898, and as consideration
for the Trust company it is to be allowed
the interest on the bonds from January
LIST to July 1st. The original intention
was to start the interest from the 1st Of
July, but some commission had to be
paid for handling the bonds at par.
There had been some doubt as to whether
the Governor had the right to agree to
pay the six months interest as bonus and
accordingly case was made up between
the State and the Baltimore syndicate to
test the States right to allow this interest
and to-day the Supreme Court decided
that it could be done, The action was
brought in the shape Of an injunction to
stop the Governor from entering into the
contract. Chief Justice McIvsr dissented
from the opinion. John Gary Evans ap-
psared as counsel against the State.
The memorandum Of agreement, as far
as completed, provides that the Baltimore
syndicate is TO purchase two million dol
lars of the bonds and stocks bearing Al
per cent. interest, payable semi-annually,
the bonds and stocks to bear date January
1st, 1893, carrying interest therefrom to
be purchased at par flat, that is, that
nothing additional shall be paid for any
interest WHICH may have accrued at the
time of the delivery the purchase money
shall be payable 100000 upon tho execu-
ton Of the contract, and the remainder
before June 3Oth, 1898, in such sums as
may be convenient; the bonds and stock
to be delivered in such amounts and at
such times as may be called for upon the
payment of the balance of 05 per cent. 1t
is agreed that the State shall also deliver
80 much Of the remainder Of the bonds
and stocks as may be issued under the
refunding act.-Special to Greenuille

Bursting Of o Stand Pipe.

AsHEvILLE, N, G., January 22.-This
morning just before daylight the $4,000
gallon stand pipe on the top Of the noun
tain just east Of the city burst, but by 9
lucky chance was only about o3e-third
full, and in consequence verr little dam
use about six years and was considered
very strong one, but 1t is supposed
that the water had frozen and In thawing
the unusual strain was too severe and it
toppled over and unrolled like scroll,
and now covers like blanket the side OF
the mountain.
This accident cuts off all water supply
in case of fire and leaves only a small
reservoir to supply the city with drink
ing water, and threatens US with the
most complete water famine ever known.
A reservoir on some mountain near the
city will probably be built to replace
this, and will. of course, require long
time to construct, so that it is very Sc
rious misbap.
