From this it is shown that even all :
mitting everything that Kolb claims, it
IS clear that instead of being elected,
kolb is defeated by not less than Ii, 600.
but Kolb's claims are absurd. Many
negroes openly voted tie Democratic
ticket. This was particularly the case
In kolb's old county, Barbour. and in
his old home (Eufaula,). 1t was natur-
al that they should have done so and il
would have been worry strange if they
mad not. In the recent riots in Jeflrr-
son county the Governor used tho
whole power Of the State to protect tho
negroes from the murderous assaults
OF those who We're supporters of Kolb.
This action of the Governor was uni
versally endorsed by the Democratic
press, speakers and people, while the
press and speakers of tho opposition as
universally condemned the Governor
for his action. If tho negroes under
such circumstances had not supported
the Democratic party they would have
shown that they did not possess even
ordinary gratitude.
Goyernor-elect Oates was open and
avowed in his endorsement of the ac-
tion of Governor Jones and naturally
the negroes voted for him. This man
kolb has always cried fraud. He, ac-
cording TO his own admission, has fire.
quently been n party to fraudulent
practices in elections. He assumes
that the Democrats use the same me-
thods to obtain their majority that he
admits having used himself.

AN EDGEFIEI DESPERATE.
He Laughs and Curses When Sen
fenced to Death

The following account of the rescn-
fencing of the noted young Edgctield
desperate, the murderer of Preston
Vance, taken from the Augusta Herald.
will be read with interest
William Carpenter, the Edgclield
despcradO, was yesterday sentenced at
Edgetield to be hung on September II.
Carpenters record has been a bloody
one. Several years ago, in Edgctield
County, Carpenter and another young
fellow named Murrcll waylaid and
murdered well known, pcaceablc
young man named Preston Vance.
They were both captured after Il long
hunt by the law officers, but later man
aged to escape from jail.
Then another young man was way
laid and killed near Johnston and this
crime was also laid at Carpenters
door, but never proved against him.
Murrcll was secured and put on trial
and sentenced to be hanged, but Gov
crnor Tillman commuted his sentence
to Imprisonment for life. Carpenter
lived in the swamps for Il long time
Then it was reported that he had been
seen in Texas, and later in Alabama
"A few months ago a young white
man killed a negro in Macon. After
being jailed it was discovered to be
Carpenter. Then Governor Tillman
made IL rcquisitiOn on Governor Nor
then for him, claiming that he was
under sentence of death in South Caro-
lima and the rcquisition was honored.
Carpenter is but 81 years of age, but IL
perfect tiger. He acknowledges to
having killed another negro somewhere
in Georgia.
After being sentenced to the scat
fold, in Edgciicld yesterday, he laugh
cd and cursed louder than ever when
being removed from the court room
An Edgeticld gentleman who knows
what he is talking about says Gear
pentcr is the grittiest man | ever saw
don't believe he is afraid of any man
or anything on earth"

MAKING AND SAVING.
How the Farmers arc Gaining their
Financial Freedom.
Yorkvillc Yeoman.


After several weeks of observation.
coupled with reports that have come
to us from various parts of the county,
we are Of the opinion that there never
was such crop of peas in York County
rs there is in sight at present. Almost
every farmer has some peas planted,
and they will be found both in drills
and broadcast. This means an inn
nense saving to those who have been
in tho habit of buying stock feed: it
means that there will be plenty Of feed
this winter, 1t means not SO much
what it will bring the farmer in actual
returns, but what it will save him from
spending. Ii it saves him from spend
ing 800 for feed, it is just rs much
profit as q hundred dollars worth of
cotton would be If he had to turn right
around and spend it for Western corn
or some other feed. And it saves
double handling, too. We trust that
our farmer friends will not overlook
the matter OF saving seed for the next
year. AT the opening Of the season,
or thereabouts, last fail peas sold as
low as forty to sixty cents a bushel, but
In the spring they had been wasted OF
bought up to such an extent that they
brought 50 hushel and those who had
to have them had to pay this sum.

them for weavels to cat it is we'll to
save and care for them properly.
In addition to the outlook for peas and
peavine hay there is splendid pro-
mise OF an abundance of corn and home
raised bacon. 1t York County does not
have to send dollar to the West for
corn or bacon this year, it will mean
that an economic regeneration has set
in. 1t will mean that if our farmers do
live hand, they are making that living
at home and are not going in debt to
the West for corn and bacon. When
the fact Is once established that we can
make q living at home, without draw
ing upon other sections, then we begin
to pave the way for future profit; we
prepare for surplus crops that will
bring us money. Three years ago, one
firm in this county bought and paid
cash for So, 700 worth of Western corn,
which was sold to York County farm
ers. During that year there was GER
tainly not less than $4,000 worth
bought and sold in this county by all
tho houses doing this class Of business,
and probably as much bacon in addi-
tion. Tho making and saving at home
OF Sl5O,0OO worth OF stuff that it would
take $l5O,00O in hard cash, for we
would have to produce cotton ut six
cents q aapound, means great deal,
doesn't it? We think so, and feel sure
that every farmer who has thought
much about the hard times thinks so,
too

sary law, but said he always expressed
his honest opinion on anything. Ii
elected Governor he would enforce that
law as strictly as any man.
General Butler had the opening to-
day in the Senatorial fight. His speech
was lacking in new material, although
1t was magnificent effort. Governor
Tillman took q nap during Buffers
speech. When the Senator's time was
about up Tillman's' admirers called
OUT "Wake up, Ben," and other
things. "Time's up" called good
many of those who wanted Butler to
quit. A perfect cannonade Of cheers
and applause and a tornado of waving
hats saluted Governor Tillman. Broad
smiles animated nearly every face. Old
men with one foot in the grave cheered
to the full oxtent of their ability. Boys
with sharp voices) squeaked as loudly
as possible, and everybody made a
noise. The Governor said that " If the
committee which meets in Columbia
tonight is SO treacherous as to call off
that convention without wedding can
didates to stand, the people had bet
ter watch and pray, or Reform will
topple over and go to ruin"
Arguing on the Dispensary the Gov
ernor said the State could not afford to
reduce the price of whiskey all around
but said u cheaper grade is to be made
for people and is to be sold at So gal
Ion. To do this it would be necessary
to reduce the proof to 80 per cent. in
stead of 100 per cent. proof as now.
Josh Ashley: "Give it to us for
$1.50."
Tillman: "You shant have it at
that price," (Applause.)
The Governor in talking on the sub
treasury asked when had the sub-trca-
sury ever won fight?
He said the politicians are in league
with the Butler men to elect men to
the Legislature on the Ocala and sub
treasury platform. After they got to
the Legislature they will vote for But
lcr.
Tho Governor asserted that If Tom
Watson and other Southern leaders
will fight right and use judgment, the
whole South will be ready to go to the
West in a body in short time.
The Governor said there is bribery
fund of half million dollars to beat
him. Tho crowd shouted that it
couldn't be bought. The Governor ad-
viscd the crowd not to let any sub
treasury man who is willing to swal-
low the court house come in and try to
beat him.

a THRILLING EXPERIENCE -

a THRILLING EXPERIENCE. The
Lake Shore express train one night
last week enjoyed most thrilling cx-
pcricncc on the plains of Indiana. An
attempt was made to hold up the train
at Kcsslcr, Ind, upon the identical
spot that the train was held up last
fall. The train was approaching a
split switch at Kesslcr when the engi
neer saw that the switch was turned so
as to run the train on the siding. a biz
obstruction OF ties and lumber was piled
up a few rods ahead OF his engine.
The obstruction did not appear to be
impossible and the engineer put on
all the steam and dashed through the
pile, passing safely on the main track
through the split switch at n high rate
of speed. AS the train passed the OBJ
struction tho engineer noticed group
of masked men and as the engine
cleared the track of all obstacles the
would-be highwaymcn fired several
shots into the train, none of which,
however, took effect.
The United States express car was
attached to the train and it had on
board large amount of money. 1t is
thought that this was known to the
,dcspcradOcs who attempted to hold up
the train. Their disappointment i'm
carrying out their plans of stopping
the train was evinced in their firing
shots when they saw that their plans
had been foiled by the boldness of the
engineer in dashing through the heap
OF ties upon the track

GONG BACK To FARMS.-In n re-
cent issue of the Maine Farmer atten-
tion Is called to the fact that the
hard times and want of employment in
cities and towns have caused many
persons to return to the country and
buy farms. The Farmer commends
the movement and observes that the
industrious workingman on farm of
MS n is, own will never lack employment.
There may not, )" 1t says, "be so much
money handled from their labor on the
farm, but In many cases the labor ju-
dieiously expended on the land will
bring more for the outlay In other and
necessary forms than the money earn
ings i'm the city can purchase. This
drift, then, from the city to better and
happier homes on the farms should be
encouraged. There never was, and
probably never will.be, better time
to make the change than now. Farms.

CHURCH AND STATE.
Negroes Meet in Convention on De-
nOminationalisIn i'm Clafiin

nominationalisIn i'm Clafiin.
In keeping with call issued by
some OF the leading negro preachers OF
the various denominations in this
State, convention OF negroes was held
last week in Columbia. The purpose
of this convention was to take action to-
wards properly memorializing the
next LEGISLATURE to put Clatlin Univer-
sity-the negroes State school-under
different auspices. 1t is claimed that
Claflin University proper is under the
auspices of the Northern Methodist
church, and that it is unfair for the
State to put money for educational
purposes where denOminational in
huences are dominant. 1t is further
claimed that the twO-thc State part
ana the church part-are really one in
all that appertains to recitation, teach
crs. industries, etc; in fact, in all that
appertains to the students school life.
There were representatives not only
from all the various denominations.
and numbers in proportion to the MEM
bership of the respective church org; l.
izations, but the different portions of
the State were most evenly represent
ed. The speeches were thoughtful,
well tempered and wholly along the
line that South Carolina should give
the higher education of her colOred
youth independent of all denomination
al Influences.
One of the most prominent members
of the gathering said GAIL we want
the State of South Carolina to do is to
give us sure enough State school-a
school in which the rccitations, indus
tries, the quality and quantity of work
done shall be determined by those who
are wholly accountable to the State for
their stewardship. We do not uncon-
ditionally ask that the State part of
Ciaflin be moved away from Orange
burg. We are rather desirous that
the separation be made not SO much in
space as in fact. We are not asking
larger appropriations. If neces-
sary, we are willing that our appro-
priation be stopped for year or two,
as was dono in Georgia. and tho money
that is annually appropriated be allow
ed to accumulate until it is sufficient to
meet any-if any there would BECK
ira expenses incurred by such scpara-
tion."

pare memorial to the Legislature

yer with gold at the mints by the free

the ratio of coinage which heretofore
has been held TO in the Unitnd States
that we urge upon the said law-making
department. of the government to abolish
the unconstitutional and prohibitive
tax OF 10 per cent. on the issue of State
banks that we admire the courage
and lofty patriotism of the President

prompt approval of the bill repeating

A LUCKY PoLITICIAN.-A dispatch
from Washington says that Ex-Govern-
or j. ID. Porter, of Tennessee, who has
been nominated by the President as
United States District Judge for the
Middle District of Tennessee, has had
an interesting experience in public life.
He was Governor of the State at the
time Andrew Johnson represented Ten
nessec in the Senate, after his retire
ment from the Presidency. Gov. Port
er appointed ID. M. Key to fill the un-
expired term. Mr.. Key subsequently
was selected by President Hayes as
Postmaster Gene"nl, and upon his re-
tirement from t Q department, was
made United States District Judge for
the Middle District of Tennessee.
Gov. Porter was appointed by Presi-
dent Cleveland Assistant Secretary of
State in 1885, but resigned before the
close OF his term and returned to his
home in Paris, Tenn. When Mr..
Cleveland was called u second time to
the White House, he appointed Gov.
Porter Minister to Chile, to succeed
Patrick Egan. He came back to the
United States Il few months ago, and it
was supposed that he would return to
his post again on the expiration of his
leave.
1t was not until this morning that
the Tennessee people in Washington
learned that Judge Key had retired,
and their astOnishment was still furth-
CT increased when Gov. Porters nomi-
nation was sent to the Senate as his
successor.
