Zimmerman receiving the nomina.
ton for Lieutenant Governor in

on the 18th instant, will necessi-

WHITE BOYS GONE WRONG
Sons of Reputable GreeByille
Citizens Caught Stealing.

The Columbia State.
GREENv1LLE, S. c., Aug. 20.-The
United States Court adjourned this
morning, and most Of the court
officials left the city. Assistant
District Attorney Hughes went to
Walhalla and will probably 60 to
Charleston tomorrow.
Some excitement was created in
town this morning by the news of
the capture of some thieves who
had been stealing wheat from the
Governor Perry place, about four
miles from the city. The stealing
had been going on for some time,
and last night the thieves were
captured and proved to be white
boys, sons of reputable citizens.
These boys have been running with
a hard crowd for sometime, but
were not suspected of getting down
to stealing.
Today the saloon-keepers and
State Constable Workman held a
meeting and agreed to bury the
Ratchet in the form of annlstice,
ihe saloon men agreeing not to sell
any more liquor, until the status
of the dispensary law is legally
decided.

The corn crop of sections Of the
Northwest is almost total failure,
especially in Kansas, and our ad.
vice to Edgefeld farmers is to
husband their corn crops with
great care. This cereal is already
worth dollar per bushel in this
market and may 60 higher. 1t is
a source of great congratulation
that the corn crop in this county
is 80 excellent, and so extended an
acreage planted.

STATE OF SOUTH CAROLINA
EXECUTIVE CHAMBER,
Columbia, S. G.

In resuming operations under
the dispensary law of 1893, con-
stables, while exercising all the
powers and duties conferred by
that act, will be careful to avoid
any unnecessary friction or get in
to any brawls. They will seize all
contraband liquors and make ar.
rests under evidence sufficient to
convict, the same as heretofore.
When necessary, they will apply
to the sheriff of the county for as.
sistance in making arrests or
searches. When these are not
convenient they may apply to
mayors and intendants of towns
for search warrants and for the aid
of the police. Any refusal DE- the
part of the mayors or intendants
and police to cooperate must be
reported promptly to the Governor.
Constables will not search express
cars without specific instructions.
But if they see any contraband H.
quor in one they can order IL to be
detained and carried to the local
express Office for examination.
Freight depots may be entered and
searched whenever open for busi-

We see no reason why John Gary
Evans shouldn't make good Gov
ernor. He has sense enough, and
we don't believe he'll play any
'fantastic tricks before high
heaven" although some of his
enemies do accuse him of being
high stopper. Our advice to John
Gary is to go slow. He will be
judged more by what he does and
the way he does it than any Gov
ernor of this State within the
memory of man. There will be no
glamour about his administration
as there was about that of Tillman.
The ardor of pursuit is over, and
Reformers even will judge matters
and events as cold, substantial
realities.

TILLMAN SPEAKS.
He is Thankful That He Will
Soon Leave Columbia.
Governor

Augusta Chronicle.
COLUMBIA, S. c., Aug. 2O.-By
request Gov. Tillman delivered to-
night an address on Main street
to about three hundred people,
about half of whom were re-
formers. He was we'll received,
though at times he received many
jeers. He spoke of the city of COL
umbia IN a caustic way and ridi-
culed it's management as being
under the domination of men who
were antagonistic to the whole OF
the rest of the State. He said he
proposes to critsclse President
Cleveland as often as he violates
the Democratic platform which he
had spit upon. That Cleveland
betrayed his party and had baulked
the Democratic senators and re-
representatives. in Congress in their
desire to carry out party pledges.
That Cleveland was in league
with the powers of the northeastern
section of the country who were
intent upon keeping the volume Of
currency as small as possible That
he thanked God that be woulo
leave Columbia in O few months
but that his place would be filled
by a man who wonld keep the peo.
ple down as he had tried to do.

The Populist, forces are weaken
ing everywhere. The reasons are
not far to seek. This party has no
monopoly of issues that are not
equally as available to the other
two parties, and it has no leader OF
force and character. Tom Watson,
of Georgia, who is the ablest of
the lot is 30 lacking in other essen
tials that he has lost his grip even
in his own State. Populism, like
the greenback craze of few years
ago, has it's days numbered

freight cars which are being un-
loaded may also be searched. In
opening suspicious packages care
must be exercised not to injure the
contents.
All saloons and other open
places of business where contra
band liquor is supposed to be sold,
may be searched without a war
rant. Constables will wear their
badges at all times.

WELLINGTON, July 25, '94.
A miners meeting was held here, Tues
day evening, at which McGregor was
denounced, and the miners voted, to n
man. to resume work at the old price,
and do what they could to drive away
the wolf which has so long stood at their
doors.
The enclosed verses were written by a
miner, after the meeting, and express the
sentiment of the people of Wellington:
BRoKEN VOWS.
Ills OF a little man, some call him Little
Nc"
Who calls himself president of the men
along the track.
Nc is an Englishman, so / nm told,
And by actions is both heartless and bold,
Who takes from the treasury every nickel
And goes to X. c. for IA general good
time.
Now, boys, let's settle this strike | beg,
And let Nc return to Kansas with his
brother black-leg.
Now, Little Nc, we must part forever,
For you are nothing more to MS.
Gladly each tie we will sever
That linked our confidence with thee.
Not a single nerve shall culver
When we bid you our last adieu,
Though it breaks our confidence forever
To find in our ranks uch n man as you
Take back those promises you have
plighted,
Think not that we prize them yet,
For our confidence you have sighted,
And your name we will forget.
