Do lightning rods protest? This old
question will not down. It is no sooner
settled than il becomes unsettled, and the
controversy over it is renewed. The
New York Sun is Of the opinion that acci-
dents by lightning are on the increase,
and so many buildings protected by
metallic rods are struck that people con-
tinne to question the value Of such con-
ductors as safeguards. The explanation
that the rod was not properly constructed
.or attached viii not do, because in many
cases every requirement seems to have
been observed, and yet the bolt struck
the house. Perhaps the new theory in
England sst forth by DR.. Lodge will be Of
interest. II lis that q rod protects against
ordinary lightning, but not against what
sisscalled an impulsive rush. Sometimes
AN oyerhanging cloud receives an exces-
.siye charge Of electricity from distant
scloud, and the time is too short to permit

Fatal Fall of an Aer0naut.

NASHVILLE, Tenn, August 1o.-A
horrible tragedy was witnessed by 8
large crowd of spectators at Glendale
Park, near this city, this evening about
6 o'clock. Miss Lulu Randall, Of De-
troit, Mich, who has for some time past
been making balloon ascensions, was al.
most instantly killed.
She ascended safely to about two thou
sand feet altitude. When the signal was
given she cut the parachute loose. It
opened and she descended safely until
she was about seventy-five feet from the
ground, when the parachute drifted into
a tree with such force that she was
thrown against limb and her hold
broke. She fell to the ground, and
though physicians were summoned died
soon after the fall. The remains will be
sent to Detroit.

The Fun is to Begin Immediately;
Columbia lytnte.

This week is likely so witness lively
developments In the mntter Of the re-er-
forcement of the 1858 dispensary lav,
and this, together with the assembling Of
the State Reform nominating convention,
promises to make tho week unusually
eyentful. There seems to be break kels
ahead for somebody. !.
The StGte yesterday published an irl-
tefview with Governor Tillman bearing
on the matter, in which he stated
that he intended now, that he had no
campaign work ahead of him, to begin the
enforcement of the law as relentlessly as
ever. - =
Yesterday in talking over the.matter
the Governor said that there was no use
for any one to try to create the impress
sion that he was not going to enforce the
law. He said he knew the law was not
being enforced now but he had had no
chance to do anything in regard to the
enforcement till he could get back here
and get his hand on the throttle again.
The Governor exclaimed with much em-
phasis Intend to enforce the law up
to the very hilt. T intend to enforce 1t lift
takes all the military In the State to help
me do it
He says he will get to work on Mon.
day morning to re-organiza his constab-
.ulary force and he will be ready to begin
the enforcement of the law before the IL
quor men can get rid Of their stocks. He
says he expects to havesome Of the liquor
mems liquor this week.
There does not now seem to be Q doubt
that Governor Tllman means business.
a good many seem to believe that Gov
ernor Tillman is expecting an early de-
.cision from the Supreme Court in the
matter Of the constitutionality Of the '9S
law.
lois said that in the last few days sew
eral prominent liquor dealers have vol
UNFAIRLY closed up their places Of bust
ness and removed their stocks.

Talbert for the Senate.
Washi,,otoa, Post, .Aqtqust II


"There is good deal more in South
Carolina politics right now than the fight
between Governor Tillman and Senator
ter" said Mr.. r. G. Anderson, of the
Palmetto State, at the National. '"rhere
is war also between Tillman and the AL
lance. In 1891 the Governor undertook
to down the Alliance and met stinging
defeat which still rankles in his heart.
The basis of the Reform Movement was
primary and now the new ring, headed
by Tillman, has set that aside and par
celled the Offices out between Aiken,
Edgefeld and Abbeville, leaving all the
other counties practically in the cold and
T flinging down the gauntlet to the AL
lance. This means trouble and lots Of
It. and if the Governor thinks he can car
ry ont his programme he is badly mis-
taken. There has been some talk Of OPP
posing him for the Senate with Col.
Keitt, but the natural Alliance leader and
the one that Tillman breads is Congress-
man Talbert. They both hail from the
same county and hate zach other cordial
"If Tslbert is brought out by the ALI
ance as an opposing candidate for the
United States Senate he would have a
first rate prospect of winning. This
would mean fight all along the line
against the nominees Of the Tillmanite
Convention called for the 10th Of August.
Talbert is very aggressive man and
good stump speaker, and Governor Till
man would find in him an equally tai
ented mud-slinger. It would be case
Of Greek meet Greek when those two got
on the platform. It looks as though the
Reformers would nominate for Governor
John Gary Evans. who is Tillman's dear
friend and political imitator, yet if some
bright and popular man were put up
against him Evans would have 8 hard
time getting the requisite number Of
votes"

the electricity to be silently carried of by
the rods. The result then is sometimes
disastrous. But this Is theory and
needs proof. DR.. Lodges opinion simply
amounts to this: In the majority OF
cases good lightning rod is protection,
but in some exceptional cases 1t is not.
AS everybody knew this before. 1t Is
easy to treat the DOCTORS conclusion with
profound respect, and there will be q
general desire to test his theory of the
impulsive rush from the overhanging
cloud suddenly charged with excessive
electricity from distant cloud. Natrr-
ally, we desire to know the cause of a
disaster, even when there is no way OF
guarding against the evil.

x Striking Reform Of The Ieform
Movement,

think the Ref0rmere, Allancem6n OF
Farmers Movement men are to be con-
graduated for nominating Lawyer John
Gary Evans for Governor when they had
the opportunity of selecting from the
list O! candidates either one Of two farm
ers, Ellerbe or Tindall, highly respecta-
Bile gentlemenf We thought one con-
spicuoun reform inculcated by the Farm
ers Movement was to relegate lawyers to
the rear and bring the farmers to the
fore, and give them a larger show In the
government.
Mr.. Ellerbe evidently thought so when
in his speech at Anderson he told the
people he thought, as a farmer, he was
entitled to the Office. especially as 80
many lawyers had to be provided for in
other governmental Offices. He might
have added that even before the Re-
form movement was inaugurated the
Office of Governor was generally, almost
in an unbroken line, conceded to the
farmer class. 90 back before ths war, to
IS time within the easy recollection OF
men now living, and this was true.
There were Seabrook, Means, Manning,
Aston, Adams, Gist and Pickens, re-
called by the writer, all farmers or plan
ters, and not one lawyer. They seemed
too, 10 believe in rotation, as they were
content with one term. These were the
bad old times, tits true, when, as Gov.
Tilln1an tells Us, the State was ruled by
ring Of aristocrats, and the people
didn't even enjoy republican: form OF
government. But certainly lawyers were
not at the head Of the State government
in,those days. Skipping the abnormal
periods Of the war, reconstruction and OF
radical rule; which can hardly be looked
to for precedents, and coming down to
1876, when the people OF the State got
control of the government again, and
things we're restored TO their normal
condition, who were elected Governors
before the. reform fever broke out 2
Hampton, Hagood, Thompson and Rich
ardson, all of the farm class, except
Thompson, and he had been school
Eteache her--not one lawyer among them.
Simpson and Sheppard, lawyers, filled
out unexpired terms, but they had been
elected Lt. Governors.
What do onr farmer friends think OF
this record Of the unregenerate days that
prevailed aforetimesf But we live in
record breaking times, we are told, and
they have broken the record, for true, irl
electing sawyer to this Office. I guess,
though, it is. all right since 1t Is right,
and especially since GOV. Ben willed II
| so, as Il is said. Heknows what he wants
| IL the people do not. It's all very well
to whoop-up farmer boys when votes ara
wanted, but he knows where togo when
he wants work. He knows who got up
his law Of railrosd reteiverships when
hewanted 70 creates big sensation. and
he! knows wno piloted his disrensary
bills through the Legislature when che
wanted still bigger one. But gil the
same, don't you think after this the
farmers ought to begin to let up q little
on the lawyersp Z 1t certainly looks 30 to
