Winnsboro, s. c., July N.--(Special.) ben
Tillman has another rebellion on his hands.
Today, for the first time in his career, one
Of his own lieutenants braved him to his
face and in effect charged him with break
ing faith. For weeks the breach between
Ellerbe and Tillman has been widening.
Mr.. Ellerbe has played cautiously, and
looked gum. 1t was not new charge
when he said that Tillmans solicitation
had drawn him into the race for governor,
but in his speech today, ignoring Tillman's
denials, Elerbe Haunted it in the latters
face and almost tainted him with it.
So it came to a clash of words you
did" and You didn't" were uttered by
angry men who glared at each other and
eaving the bald inference that Lie Was
out somewhere"
Governor Tillman was not in a Seraphic
form of mind The clouds were lowering,
and so was he, and when it came his TIME
to whoop up the boys, he INDUCED in the
novelty of lecturng the small fry as all
but he senatorial candidates are known.
He laid it on, too, and they went away
with great welts across their political
pirations.
The crowd was small, about $50 whites
and as many negroes, composed the audi
ence. The cheering was for Tillman and
John Gary Evans. Colonel Duncan. candi-
date for congress in Shells district, paid
his compliments to Larry CAN'T, who is
fighting him in these words: "How came
t.iat Piedmont Headlight In every house in
every house in your county? and who paid
for it until September How does it hap
pen that this Georgia buzzard is vomit-
ing his slush upon me? What have l done?
This Internal Scoundrel has descended to
personalities as no gentleman would have
done what he has done. He has attacked
me, charging that l part my hair and my

John Gary Evans the next speaker.
He denounced as IAN infamous lie'' the
charge of "SeneX' in The Columbia Regis
ter, that he had, unauthoriz.d by Tilman,
attached the governors sigma ture to tele-
grams to Attorney General buchanan, ad-
vising him to remain In Darlington during
the recent trouble. To thu question in the
same article as to whether he received
money from railroads he said this was an
other lie naih2d to the mast. He declared
that he had never received one cent from
corporations. The insinuation that he re-
ceived $4,000 for his services in funding the
state debt, was Infamous lie.

TIndaIl and ElIerbe.
Secretary Of State Tindalrs speech today
was notable one. He said there grow
ing dissatisfaction in reform ranks at the
convention system, and IL the election for
governor was not conducted so as to let
every reformer feel that he had justice, >he
could rout them. Already the
y 1ople were declaring that that convention
would be manipulated. Suspicious ana
lea ouses are already taking root. Colonel
