ril1man Talks at Chicago.

CHICAGO, ILL, Aug. 1.-two
receptions were held in the rooms
of the national committee in the
administration building at the
worlds fair yesterday. Governor
Tillman, of South Carolina, who
accompanied the Augusta exposi-
ton delegation, was recognized
officially by the commission. He
was introduced by State Com
missioner Roach and presented by
Vice President Penn and was
greeted with applause. Governor
Tillman congratulated the COM
mission and officers upon the
grandeur of the exhibits and
regretted South Carolina's absence.
"Crossing thousand miles OF
this grand country of ours from
the South Atlantic to the Northern
lakes one must feel that we have
a grand country in it's size, grand
in everything and it makes any,
body, let him come from where he
nav in tha IJnited States. feel
proud to say I am an American.
I do not hesitate to say without
fattering you in the least that
God appears to have picked this
spot to be in the future, the hub of
North America, they center of
thought, wealth, progress, pluck
and energy, and I make the
prediction today that in less than
twenty years you will have more
people IN Chicago than in any city
on the American continent, if not
in the world" In closing Governor
Til1man expressed his confidence
that great good would grow out
of the fair.
There had gathered in the room
while Governor Tillman was
speaking a very large delegation
from the Augusta exposition, in
cluding fully sseyenty-fve re-
preventative ladies and gentlemen
from Augusta, and twas probably
a novel scene to have so many
ladies gathered in this room during
a sitting of the body.

We have hesitated about it, fear
ing that the free coinage of silver.
would raise gold at a premium
and thus contract the currency,
already meagre. But first, this is
not certain. Two currencies of
unequal value, when the difference
is not great, do circulate together
when both are needed for the pur-
poses of money. Perhaps there is
not surplus silver enough at
liberty to supply the demands of
our currency. And. secondly, silver
by the instincts of humanity and
the plans Of the Creator is as
much money as gold; and those
who oppose the free coinage of
silver do not propose any other
plan for restoring it to its proper.
place. And. thirdly, the danger of
obstinately opposing the wishes
of the great majority of our
citizens is greater than the risk Of
yielding to them. If the principle
Of the free coinage of silver is con-
ceded, we caa then all discuss the
best means of accomplishing it
without injury to our commerce

The Dollar of Our Daddies.

Detroit Free Press.
The silver dollar, which is again
a disturbing element in the
financial prosperity of the country,
seems to have had a lot of trouble
in its days and generation, and it
is now getting back at the United
States treasury with alarming
persistsncy. Some of the facts
concerning it are of immediate
interest and will bear summing
UP. Here is the chronological his
tory of the silver dollor;
Authorized to be coined, Act of
April 2, 1892; weight, 416 grains;
fueness, 1924.
Weight changed, Act of January
1S, 1885, to 4l34 grains.
Fineness changed, Act of Jan
uary 1s, 1887, to 900.
Coinage discontinued, Act OF
February 12. 1873.
Total amount coined to February
10, 1887, $S,o31,23S.
Coinage reauthorized, Act
Februcry %, 1878.
Amount coined from August l.
1878, to December 13, 1887, $685.
2ss,357, (including $1'837 re-
coined.
Total amount coined to Decem-
ser 81, 1889, 1857, 969,239.
The first silver dollar was put in
circulation in 1894.
"It was a crude design" says
a historian. "On the diverse, Or
face Of the coin, was imprinted the
head of a young lady facing to the
right: Her hair was flowing to
such an extent that. she LOOKED las
if taken in a gale Of wind. =
In 1895 Congress stepped in to
the aid of the typical damsel and
tied her hair up with bit OF
ribbon.
The fifteen stars were after this
reduced to the original thirteen in
recognition of the number of
States.
In 1886 the design was again
changed, and the silver dollar
bore the full figure of a neatly
dressed woman in a flowing gar
ment. The designer forgot, how
ever, to put in the thirteen stars
and the coin was soon called in.
Any person now in possession of
one of those dollars has valuable
souvenir.
The new design had the lady
surrounded by the stars. It was
an improvement on it's predecessor
but the air of the female figure
was defiant and stiff.
The dollar of 1888 was the first
artistic piece of silver coined by
the United States mint.
On April %, 1854, the fist dol.
lar having the legend, 'sIn God
we trust" was coined.
In 1873 the era of the trade
dollar of 900 fneness began. That
troublesome dollar ran its erratic
course in just five years.
In 1878 the liberty dollar made
it's appearance. Miss Anna W.
Williams, a teacher in the Girls
Normal school at Philadelphia,
sat for the portrait, her profile
being then considered the most per-
feet obtainable. Her classic
features still decorate the silver
dollar.

BULLETS AND BUCKSHOT.
Judge Lynch Holds Court In
Abbeville.

GREENWOOD, August 21.-This
morning, while Mr.. William Mum
day, a respectable citizen of this
community, was in town, q
vagabond negro named Jake Davis
assaulted Mrs. Munday, who is
ffty-fve years old, and would have
accomplished his fendish purpose
but for the attack of fierce yard
dog, which frightened him away,
leaving MS victim considerably
bruised.
/ A posse of cool yet determined
men, both white and black, were
soon securing the country for him,
and caught him at Ninety-six this
evening about 4 o'clock. He was
Immediately carried before Mrs.
Munday, who readily and without
a shadow of a doubt identified
him, Several colored women on
the place testified to his presence
there about the time the assault
was committed.
There being no doubt Of his
guilt, he was quietly led to an
open field near the house, bound
to the trunk of a tree and shot to
death.
During the time preparations
were being made for his execution
and up to the very time of it the
negro displayed a stolid indif'.
ference to his surroundings. When
The State correspondent arrived
on the scene he was standing with
his back to the tree, facing one
hundred guns in the hands of as
many determined men. On being
approached, he spoke IN clear
strong voice; not a tremor was
noticeable, nor was fear on his
countenance. There was no
mockery or taunting on the part
of the crowd. The opportunity
was offered Davis to pray, but he
declined it.
A more orderly execution could
not have taken place in we'll
drilled army. The men with the
guns, some negroes among them,
formed line fifteen PAGES in front
of the doomed man, and at the
word "Firel" a simultaneous
volley of bullets and buckshot
went whizzing through his body.
He died without struggle; only
a slight, shrug of his shoulders was
noticeable after the smoke had
cleared away.
After the execution the crowd
turned away and dispersed to their
homes; without any boisterous
display only few Of the more
curious fingered around the scene.
Too much praise cannot sbe. be.
given to the olored people,
who manifested such an intense
desire to have the wretch caught
and punished.
The same negro committed an
assault on white woman in this
community a few years ago, but
as her character was questionable
he was allowed to 60 unpunished.

Two Notable Speeches.

Dlduu, VI hlooOoA1i AZ e1AS $1,000,
and Vest, of the same State, in the
Senate, have made the best
speeches up to date in favor Of
free coinage. We publish below an
extract from Mr.. Vests speech:
He said that it was high time
for the people of the United States
to know whether politics were a
jjuggle or fraud, or whether the
solemn declarations ofparties were
worthy the confidence Of free
people. Talking Of the Sherman
act Senator Vest spoke of it as a
.houseless and homeless legislative
dog, wit tthno one even TO give it q
bone, and ithout being able to
find sa ksnneI Whicih to hide its
sdiishonorad head And neYerthe-
less people would vote agalnst re-
peal Wit thout 3 guarantee as
solemn as the great necessity Of
the people that silver shall exist
in the United States as q money
metal. he had been known as the
firm and unshrinking friend of the
President of the United States,
and has in all his campaign
speeches in Missouri declared Mr..
Cleveland to be a bimetallist him
self, and that they only disagreed
in reference to the ratio. He had
the right to make that statement,
because Mr.. Cleveland accepted
the nomination on platform
which pledged the Democratic
party to bimetallism. 1t had been
as we'll known that the Democratic
party stood on the doctrine of
bi-metallism as that it had met in
Chicago and nominated Grover
Cleveland for the Presidency. He
did not undertake to say now that
the president was opposed to
bimetallism,, or that he would not
give his executive sanction to
a measure to coin silver at q
commercial ratio with gold: but
he did undertake to say that the
Presidents message was most sig
nifcant for,what it failed to say.
Senator Vest went on to argue
against the idea that the over
production Of silver, in relation to
gold, justified the demonetization
of the the white metal, and he
quoted the tables of gold and sill
yer pro and con without the
slightest doubt of his argument.
He undertook to say, with the
greatest respect for the President,
and without the slightest drought
of his honesty of purpose, that when
he wished lin that great state) to
say one word in. respect to
bimetallism, he certainly meant
that a consideration of the question
of the free coinage Of silver, at
any ratio was so impracticable
it did not need executive notice.
Senator Vest spoke three hours,
in the course of which he was
frequently interrupted with ques-
tions from his colleagues. To a
questions from Senator Palmer
Senator Vest replied that he was
willing to have the Sherman act
but not willing to have
its repeal made a stalking horse
for monometalism:
In reply to question by Sena-
tor Plat, Senator Vest said he did
not know what the President
would do. He knew that the Presi-
dent. sent a message t. Congress in
which he did not say one word
about bimetallism, and he took it
for granted that if the, President
had any idea of sustaining
bimetallism, be WOULD have said
something about 1T. In conclusion
Senator Vest repelled the idea of
there beinga necessity for interna-
tional agreement on the subject OF
silver.
