The New County.

The canvass on the new county question is
going on.
AS candidates for the Legislature
appear before the people they should
demand full and explicit expression on the
question that affects the vitals OF Abbeville
County. Those who desire to dismember the
old county want to know who are with them
and those who are standing for the old coun.
ty now and forever, should know who their
friends are.
The people should not allow any fence rid
ing or dodging, ON a question that is SO i'm
portant to us all.
Those who are not with us are against us,
no matter which side we are on, and neither
aide should allow any one to dodge the
issue.
The voter has right to know the views OF
every candidate, and no namby.pamby, Mr..
Facing Bothways, should receive our votes
Speak out, gentlemen, and don't receive our
votes under any misapprehension.

Collapsed.

The great strike which had its centre and
asgravating cause at Pullman and Chicago,
has yielded TO lawfol authority, without hav-
Ing gained anything. The strikers even
failed to secure conference with Pullman, or
his representative.
Several persons were killed and from one to
two million dollars worth of property was
destroyed. For a time 1t seemed that the
railroad interests Of the country were.at their
mercy.
But the President sent troops to the scene
OF the trouble. He ordered insurgents and
their sympathisers to disperse, and peace has
been restored. All trains are now run
ming.
The rioters are being arrested. and brought
into court to answer for their crimes. They
should be treated as other incendiaries are
treated.

Brooks, at the head Of the state troops
intercepted the deputies on the east slope
Of Carbondale hill and ordered 5her II
Bowers to send them back to camp In
Beaver Park.
Only few moments Of parleying took
place, during which Brooks notified Bow
ers that unless he sent his men back to
camp he (Brooks) would take them back
The state troops made remarkably
quick time up the east side Of Cow noun
tain, and headed by General Adams and
his company OF deputies, Just as they
were taking up their position on the
northeast side Of Grassy Gulch, prepara-
tory TO opening fire on Bull mountain,
thrse-quarters OF a mile away on an air
line, and In open view Of the fortihca-
tions. The militia now hold the key TO
the situation, and are camped at the
head of Grassy Gulch, in full view OF the
miners fortifcstions.
This last experience OF the deputies
with the militia probably ends the
struggle, ss General Brooks has absolute
control of the situation, and his orders
are for the state troops to prevent meet
ing of the miners aud deputies.

The testimony OF Quinn was TO the ef-
feet that the words he used were that Car

inRs said II was not used.
