GREENvILLE, S. c., Nov. 2l.-Ad.
vices to the Greenville News says that
regular battle occurred yesterday in
the mountains, near the line between
GreenVille and Spartanburg counties
on the Spartanburg side. There was
public sale, and large number OF the
mountain people had assembled. Whis,
key flowed freely, and there was more
or less fighting all day. This culmin-
ated In the afternoon, when the owners
of blockade whiskey wagon and a
couple of State dispensary officers, who
had tried to seize it, came together
After a brief preliminary wrangle
shooting began. Most of the sober and
eldery men had gone home, and "the
boys" had a beautiful free fight to
themselves. One of the owners Of the
wagon, a man named Paris, from
North Carolina, was shot through the
heart and instantly killed. Henry
Fisher, one of the dispens4ry officers,
was found in the kitchen dead, with a
bullet through his breast.
Several others were wounded, three
seriously, and nearly everybody had a.
slash from q knife or a blow from the
butt of revolver as souvenir of the
occasion.

the strength of visionary promises. AL"
though many of those promises have
been proven to bc worthy of as little
considerat'onas those givingutterance to
them are worthy of the support, yet the
Populists have held their vote remark
ably we'll, even in those States where
they were successful last year only be-
cause Of the aid Of the Democrats.
Census and registration statistics dis
close the fact that the State having cleo
tons this year have furnished their full
quota OF O0O,0 900 stay.at. homo voters.
Fully 100000 of these are utterly dis.
satisfied with their own party. They
and the Popuhsts are the two potent and
every increasing armies of discomfort.
Plans are being laid to unite these forces
under one banuer. Their utter lack Of
leaders of ability seems to be the only
obstacle.
Those causes which have produced
their discomfort are identical with the
clusee which have produced the present
financial crisis. Hence, may quote a
few words from what | said in Misce-
laneous Senate document No. 25, "re-
latlve to the cause Of the industr lal de-
preston"
''ln word, the total net private in
debtcdness of tho American people
equaledin 1880 but $3.50 million dollars.
in September 1892, it amounted to l9, 5.
700 millions, an increase Of 1000 mill
hons in the short period Of twe elve
years."
"These mute figures tell the tale. One
manufacturing aud mining industries
have been simulated under the intoXi-
eating influence of protection, while our
farmers have been compelled 70 borrow
to meet deficits. Our land values have
been bolstered up by booms and ruth
less real estate speculations all over the
West aud South. Railroads have been
built to forestall competitors, to raise
the value OF laudaud TO build cities where
none were needed. Bonds and watered
stocks have been ruthIessly h)ated for
the purpose wreCking valuable proper
ties until now the liabilities of the rail
road companies, equal fully S5 per cent.
or S, 600 million dollars more than their
20 tai assets"
The general discNutent aud profound
unrest produced and reinforced by such
potent economic forces aud combined
with tho possibility OF Il labor vote may
be expected to debar the REPUBLICANS
from gaining The necessary maj ,rt'v in
the next electoral College. AS 1896 is

| OTTUMWA. Ia, Nov. 2I-An excited
ana angry mob hung Fred Gustafson
to the stair railing of Justice TRUTHS
court room at 2:3O this afternoon.
! Gussaf5on Drutally ass tultrd the
four year old girl of Jones Sax about
10 O'Clock last night. The brute WAS
arrested shortly after committing the
crime and lodged in Jail. This morn.
Ing he was taken to >ax's house and
positively identified by the little gill
and comJluion, who was enticed to
IA room together with the little Sax
girl, but was permitted t. leave after
getting inside the room. Gus atsun
kept the little Sax child and succeeded
In his purpose. He then turned her
out, and with much difficulty she sue
ceeded in reaching home. in Il terrible
condition, and related her horrible eX-
perience to h.T parents.
Her father went to police headQuar-
ters, and soon Capt. IIannon had Gus
taf5On bahind the bars OF the county
jail. AT 3 o'clock today Gustafs0n was
taken quietly to Justice Fruits office
TOR arrangement. The news that the
man was IN TRUTHS court spread with
wonderful rapldity, and in less than
twenty minutes crowd of perhaps IA
thousand was surging around the stair
way leading to the court room, trying
to get at the prisoner.
The mother of the little girl, sue
ceeded in getting to the top of the
stairs and to the platform in front Of
the court room swung a rope, and TO-
gether with her aged father appealed
to the crowd below to hang Gustafson.
Sheriff Mcintyre and Mayor Force
appealed to the crowd for peace and 81
lcnce, but all in vain. The mob forced
its way into the court room, over.
WhelminG the officers by sheer weight
Of numbers. The leader seized the rope
from the hands Of Mrs. Sax and as the
court attaches were powerless TO inter.
fere, placed it about GuStafson'S neck
IN Il twinkling. With yell of rage,
the rope was seized 10y "a hundred hands
and the quaklng wretch was dragged

door, where he was lifted over the rail

Dody dropped to the street below, and u
ruSn was made for his possession.
The police were first to reach the
body, and hastily throwing it into a
farmers wagon, standing near by,
drove rapidly to the Jail, followed by
the mob. The lynchers again demand
ca the body OF Gustafson, nor would
they desist when told that the man
was dead. A truce was patched up by
the appointment of a cOmmi tee, which
examined the body ahd pronounced
life extinct.
The mob then quickly and quietly
dispersed, and the city is now as quiet

syndicate and July 1st, 1893. The
amount issued was not as large as was
expected.
"Here 1 wish to call especial atten-
tiOn to the fact that the amount of
bonds and stocks still fundable in
brown consols, less validity, etc. amount
including interest to July 1st, 1893, to
1882, 1887. Why the holders have
waited so long to fund their bonds,
cannot explain. Some have been sur
rendered here for redemption or fund
ing since July 1st, 1893, and a question
arose in my mind as to the proper
course to pursue. l decided to await
the action or instruction Of the Legis-
lature and respectfully recommend
that the valid principal and interest in
the fundamental bonds be funded di-
rectly in the brown four and one half
per cent. bonds, and the excess Of cash
in hand to the credit of the redemption
fund over and above the brown consols
outstanding be used in purchasing and
cancelling brown four and one half
per cent.
"1he expenditures during the year
exceeded the receipts, and the State
was forced to borrow money. While
there was an increase in the revenue
derived from phosphate royalty of $751;
258.O5, as compared with last year it
must be remembered that there was
falling off of some $4,000 of receipts
on account OF reduction from 4 "a
mills to 4 mills in the tax levy.
The expenditures were greatly in
creased in 1892 93, as compared with
1892, as the following items will
show.

When the population ceases to multiply

When you have convinced everybody

When you perceive 1t to be the rule that

When men stop making fortunes right In

of the mighty agent
When you can forget the words of the

When every man has become no thor

When younger and fresher houses in your

UNCONQUEREO PROBLEMS.

Science has done we'll, but her work has
only just begun.
She has not yet discovered q cure for deaf
ness or devised n simple, portable contriv-
ance which, fitted into the ear, will over
come deafness. Possibly the germ of the
appliancei is yet to be found in the telephone
or monograph
She has not yet produced IN effective and
permanent cure for badness. How would
1t do to try grating from normal hairy
scalps to barren ones?
She has so far failed to discover a cure for
cancer or for Bright's disease. Here the
science of medicine and of surgery halts,
perplexed but not hopeless.
Science has not yet solved the problem
of aerial navigation. She presses forward
In the processes of invention and discovery,
but the air currents whisper, Not yet! Not
yet'
She has not yet fathomed the material
mysteries of comets and meteors. The
armament ut night blaZes with defiance to
her students and their majestic hypothesis.
Science reluctantly confesscs itself baf-
fed, halted, helpless to explain the great
mysteries which stand just before the be-
ginning and just behind the end Of the
phenomena called life
Science offers no conclusive exposition of
the origin and dispersion of cyclonic
storms.
She has evolved no specific for diphtheria
or for consumption.-New York Herald.
