ThE INDEPENDENT CANDIDATE.
The independent candidate has made
his appearance in the State. He comes
ont regularly just after the time for
nominating conventions and disappears
with just as much regularity the day Of
the election. His life Is short but some
times full OF mischief and wherever he
appears be will bear careful watching
he is a more dangerous enemy than the
= opposition party, tor his stealthy work
~ done within the ranks of the party to
far Itch he claims allegiance. Processing
Dearlalty 70 q psfSy's principles, he sOws
.VlneeeS eeGs Of discord among the mem
49, and, like a traitor In the ranks
holaio ses any influence he may have TO
help the enemy. The independent can
didats has never any hope that he may
win. HIS candidacy is merely for the
purpose Of defeating, if he can, the
party's nominee, and its only effect is
to help the other side. A divided party
cannot hope 70 win and be who causes
the division must accept the response
bility for its defeat he is no longer a
friend Of that party when once be seeks
its downfall, and faithful adhsrents TO
any party should recognize such men IS
party enemies and treat them as they
deserve 20 be treated.
Already IN this State q few OF these
independent candidates have appeared.
They are generally men who have been
defeated for a party nomination and
Who seek vengeance by attempting to
Gsfeat the men who beat them. They
are capable Of doing the party greas
deal Of harm, especially in close couh-
9ies, and unless q few OF the so-callhd

Gas Bubbles In the Ice.


The confidence. of the Globe in the We
racity of Clark Drummond, Tip Young.
and L. H. Chamberlain having been badly
shaken by their statement that you could
punch hole in the ice at Doniphan Lake
and light the natural gas which escaped
through it, a reporter visited the lake
yesterday afternoon for the purpose of an
investigation, and was convinced of the
truthfulneSs of their statement
Upon arriving there a bonfire was
found, which Frank Brouner had started
by piling some brush over a white spot in
the ice, puncturhg the ice, and touching
a match TO the fume. The entire lake
was covered with spots, and they were
opened and the gas burned out of them
until it became work instead of play The
illumination was kept up until after dark,
when the effect was better. 1t takes
about minute to burn the gas out of a
spot as big round as a wash tub The
smaller the hole in the ice the longer it
takes the gas to escape. The fame shoots
up fully a foot, and looks exactly like gas
coming out of pipe with the burner re-
moved. The gas has no smell, at least
the investigation committee detected
none
1t is claimed that it is a vegetable gas
that is always found in newly formed
lakes, and is caused by the decomposition
of vegetable matter 1t escapes without
attracting attention as a usual thing, but
is imprisoned when the water freezes.
The gas at Doniphan Lake was discov-
cred by a 10y who fell aud broke the ice
He had box of parlor matches in one Of
his pockets. They became iguited and lit

erably dishgured.

for out twenty minutes they observed an
object which they supposed to be a boat.
Bulware picked the gun up from the bottom
OF the boat and called halt and fired two
shots. They heard something move in the
boat, and Mr.. Miller stopped padding. I3ul-

whether the man had been really killed or
that the announcement OF o man Deing dead,

steady going men, thoroughly familiar
with the business Of railroading, and for
this reason their passengers are assured Of
polite attention, close schedules and all

I have ridden around good deal on
excursion trains, my frst ride being from
Anderson to Walhalla in July, 1871, on the

Butler Wants Another Party.

COLUMBIA, s. c., July 5.-President
Marion Butler, of the National Farmers
Alliance, in talking to-day about tho AL
lance In the coming national campaign,
said the producers Of the country must
obtain influence in national affairs and
they could not get it through either Of
the existing national parties. Continu-
ing, he said ''This condition is soon
going to force new alignment of parties
and 1t seems to me that all patriotic peo-
pie ought to do all they can to see 1t
come about as soon as possible. This
result will have to come ab0nt by the
solid West and South and all whose
interests are common with them, uniting
and nominating and eleotlng the admin
istrative officers of the government.
"What I would like 70 see come about
is tor national convention to be called
representing the interests I have named
and made up from Democrats from the
South and by that mean Democrats
with due reference to the News and Co1t-
rier, and the peoples party from the
West and from the North who want to
join, nominating presidential candidate
and electing him. The peoples party
out West is nothing more than party OF
converted Democrats, but who, Oh
account of their prejudice to that name,
will not admit it. but they arc as good
Democrats as the Ietiersonian Democrats
of the South,
"The real Democrats of the South and
the Populists Of the West have the same
principles, while the so-called Democrats
of the Western States are nothing more
than goldbug Democrats and have never
yet done anything to elect Democratic
nrooidant Theaa Waatern PODulists or
Jeffergonian Democrats will not go into
Democratic convention with that name,
but If convention with the American
party or the Jetfersonian Democracy
wore called they would combine with the
Democrats of the South to nominate and
elect a president. I would like to see
this combination effected In time for the
campaign of 1906, but if it Is not done by
that time, it is simply few years before
it will be done."-Special to Atlanta

Irby Votes for the Tariff Bill.


WASHINGTON, July 3:-Senator Irby

roll-call when the tariff bill was voted on
tonight, and the measure was passed by
five majority. Throughout the prelimi-
nary skirmishes oyDr the various amend.
ments Senator Trby in a majority of in
stances broke away from his Democratic
colleagues and acted with Senator Hill
and the Republicans,
When the crisis camp he walked up to
the rack and cast his vote for the bill.
Early In the day he realized that even if
he and Senator Hill voted against
the measure it would still have
the majority, as the Populists, Allen
and Kyle, announced their intention of
voting with the Democrats on the ground
that the compromise bill is better for the
country than the Mckinley law. Under
the circumstances Senator Irhy's vote

The Fourth at Chautauaua.

Mr.. EDITOR: Another Fourth of July
has come and finds "B" at Chautauqua,
N. Y, spending the day with the truly
loyal. Tho first Fourth of July spent
North was at Gettysburg in 1863, with
Captain Griffith and others, laid up for
repairs. Then two weary armies were
resting on their arms, burying the dead
and caring for the wounded. This
Fourth was ushered in by the small boy
with his cracker, and the occasion of an
overflow of patriotism at the Amphi-
theatre. The Declaration of Indepen-
dence was read, good music rendered,
and an oraLion full ofglory, during which
the patriotism of "B" tagged, and be took
nap, during which he surposes the
rebellion was crushed.
This place, now an educational centre.
is rapidly filling up, and is pleasant anG
cool and very enjoyable after heated
term in the city Of New York. Our
hotel, the Athen@um, is close by the
Amphitheatre and near all places of pub.
lie meetings. The well-shaded grounds,
with nice sidewalks and streets, are at all
times attractive, and visitors are every
where seen. The streets are still being
improved, but free from red dirt and
prospective mud. (Wonder where the
red dirt from Granite Row Is now being
put for next Winters use.)
This educational contre is now filled
with learned Presidents, Professors and
Teachers in Colleges and Schools, who
come here annually in the interest of
learning, including large number OF
pupils. Those best able board at the
Athenmum, while those Of lesser means
stop at boarding-houses or mess in tents.
The cost at the hotel is sixteen dollars per
week, boarding houses five to ten dollars,
and messing as low as two dollars. My
sympathies are with the latter class.
just now I'm reminded of remarks made
to Gov. Brown, of Georgia, when he was
starting out. A friend of his said to him,
"Joe, it isn't worth while for you to try
to rise in the world. You lack family
influence and the means necessary Tor
success" In this connection "B" had
the pleasure Of meeting in New York
Judge James r. Brown, Of Canton, Ga.,
an old school mate at WILLIAMSON in
1851, a brother of the Governor, who also
worked his way up. The Judge wears
his honors we'll, and is now resting and
enjoying his ease after life OF turmoil,
labor and success. But This digresslon

No August Convention!
The State, Julg :.

There was ON important statement
going the rounds in political circles yes
terday, which indicates that the Reform
nominating convention, called to be held
in August for the purpose Of making
nominations, may not be held at all.
Such q statement will, of course, sur
prise O great many, but to all appear
ance it is true, and it looks as if there is
going to be test before the State Reform
committee, which called the convention,
as to the strength of John Gary Evans
when pitted against all the other three
candidates in the Gubernatorial race. II
the statement is true it is going to change
the entire outlook as far as the campaign
for State Offices is concerned.
The statement, as made to represen-
tative of the State, Is to the effect that
Tindal, Ellerbe and Pope have all agreed
to sign request to this committee to an
null the call for the convention and let all
the candidates into the Democratic pri-
mary. It is said that the document has
already been drawn up and each Of the
three candidates referred to has signitied
his intention of signing it. The reason
given for the request Is this: When the
Reform committee met it did not know
but that the Conservatives were going to
put q ticket, and the object of the conven-
ton was to concentrate the Reform vote.
Now it appears that the Conservatives
have no idea of putting out ticket, and
these candidates want to go into the gen.
eral primary. What Mr.. Evans and his
friends will have to'say to this, if the
statement is true, remains to be seen.
The matter is given here for what Is
Wol th.
Yesterday Capt. John G. Capers for
warded to Senator Butler document
which was received at the local headquar-
ters and will make quite an effective rock
whenever Governor Tillman's Hamburg
riot record is discussed again. The doc
ument is signed by eight of the most
prominent men in Edgefield county.
They certify that they were present at
the Hamburg riots, and participated in
the fight NIL the time; that they did not
see Governor Tillmar at any time any
where around after the fight started, and
that they we're in such position that If
he had been there they would have seen
him.

ate of the United States passed the tariff
bill, which has been before that body for
so many weary weeks. The vote stood
80 to 81. It hss been sent back to the
House for concurrence in the Senate
amendments. Every Democrat voted
for its passage but Hill, of New York.
Two out of three Populists voted for it,,
Allen and Kyle. PETER voted with the
Republicans. The passage of the bill
was received with great applause In the
galleries. While the bill is not all that
the people would like, still 1t is step in
the right direction, and will have ten
denoy to placate great deal of discon-
tent. It is an earnest of better days to
come we verify believe, Ths date for
the bill to go into effect is August lst,

The Successful Advertiser !

Is the man who writes something the
people will read, and reading, believe. In
this age of education and enlightenment,
when men read and think for themselves,
all that stuff about "selling goods cheaper
than your competitors buy them," being
the "only competent dealers in the line"
"handlipg better stuff than anybody
else," &c, is mere clap trap, and subjects
the writer and the firm back of it to the
contempt of all right-thinkiDg people. The
man who has something to offer, and then
tells the folks about in plain, business
way, is the man who "gets there" and
getting there. stands.
Lots of people handle Paint. Some
handle one kind, some another, but they
all realize, If they have any business sense
at all, that in order to make that business
a permanent success it Is absolutely neces.
sary to give the people the very best ma
terial. This we have tried to do, and at
price that puts it in the reach Of all.
In this connection we call attention to
tue fact that crops are about laid by, time
is plentiful, and little paint not only
freshens and beauties, but improves won.

would keep that old buggy from falling

two longer by spending seventy. five cents

Remember this, the longer you put 1t
off the more it takes and the less coed it

just as much, and takes just as much time,

Tho country people of Indiana are
very much exercised. it is said. over the
discovery of strange and portentious
marking which they find on the blades
of the growing oats, On each page 3o.,dI saey 3
Acres and acres in all parts of the coun-
Try have been found to ho thus curiously
marked, and it Is no wonder that imagi-
native persons can associate the presence
of the letter with forehodings of evil, It
is claimed that the only other timea the
letter was ever found on oats In this
manner was Just before the war Of 1919
and the late civil war, and that the B
stands for "bloodshed," which may now
be looked for again. Each blade Is
marked, the letter, about half an inch
long, being as it seems, pressed into the
leaf and discernable on the other side.
Some say that this phenomenon &C.
ours frequently, but none explains It's
origin.
