An Emperor's Handwriting.

Memoirs Baron deMeneval. =
n Napoleo eon's writing was aecol lee
I'll ton of letters unconnected with
each other, and unreadable. Half
the letters to each word were want
ing. He could not read his own
writing again, or would not take
the trouble to do so. If be was
asked for some explanation, he
would take his draft and tear it up,
or throw it into the fire, and dc
tate it over again-the same ideas,
it is true, but couched in different
language and different style. AL
though he could detect faults in
the spelling of others, his own Or
biography left much to be desired.
1t was negligence which had be-
come a habit: he did not want to
break or tangle the thread of his
thoughts by paying attention to
the details of spelling.
Napoleon also used to make mis-
takes in figures, absolute and posi-
tive as arithmetic has to be. He
could have worked out the most
complicated mathematical prob
lem, and yet he could rarely total
up a sum correctly. 1t is fair to
add that these errors were not al
ways made without intention. For
example, in calculating the num-
ber of men who were to make up
his battallions, regiments, or divi-
sions. he always used to increase
the sum total. One can hardly be-
lieve that in doing so he wanted to
deceive himself, but he often
thought it useful to exaggerate the
strength of his armies. It was no use
pointing out any mistake of this
kind. he refused to admit it, and
obstinately maintained his volun-
tarv arithmetical error.

To the Reformers of Edgefield
County.

The following address issued by
authority of the State Reform Ex-
ecutive Committee explains itself:
To the Reform Votes of South Car
olina:
The State Reform Executive
Committee met in the city of Co.
lumbia on the 10th day of July,
1894 in obedience to the call of the
chairman, all counties being re-
presented except the counties of
Lexington ard Beafort.
1t was found necessary to chan
ge the date of the club meetings
and county and State conventions,
ane also to make other changes and
requirements, all of which will ap-
pear in the resolutions incorporat-
en- herein, and stand in lieu of the
resolutions as adopted by the COM
mittee on the 4th day of April
1894.
The following are the resolu-
tions:
1. That a convention for the sug-
gestion of candidates far Governor.
and Lieutenant Governor be held
in Columbia, S. c., on the 18th day
of August, 1894, at 10 o'clock m.
2. That said convention be COM
posed of delegates elected by con-
ventions to be held in each county
on Monday, the 18th day of August
1894, each county to be entitled to
double as many delegates as it has
representatives in both houses of
the General Assembly.
8. That county conventions
aforesaid be composed of delegates
elected by various Reform clubs in
the county, each club to send one
delegate at large and one delegate
for every twenty-five members or
majority fraction thereof. In
those counties where there are no
distinct Reform clubs the Reform
members of each club shall be cal
led by the executiqe Reform COM
mitteeman to meet at the usual
place of meeting and elect del
egates as aforesaid to the county
convention Provided, "That in the
cities of Charleston and Columbia
the number of Reform clubs and
polling precincts shall be left to
the discrtion of the committeeman
of said counties. For the purpose
of said election the clubs afore-
said shall be called to meet Oh the
I1th day of August, 1894. At such
meeting no member shall particl-
pate exceptsuch as voted for the
Reform delegates II the August
primary of 1892, and all others
who will pledge themselves to
abide by and support the ticket
suggested by the State Reform con-
vention of 1894.
4. That all Reform candidates

of you are not liberal enough to

speech. I thought the men OF

courtesy and chivalry, and | be-
lieve the most of them are. | sat
there and listened to all he had to
say to me, but when l get up to
talk about him his henchmen at
tempt to howl me down." (Hur-
rahs for Tillman and Butler.
T. K. Palmer: "Did you call this
crowd lot of thieves?"
"No, certainly did not"
Palmer: "Then I apologize"
Some thought that this would
precipitate another riot, but luckily
that war cloud passed by without
trouble. Gen. Butler then went
on without much interruption. 81
want to say this to you and to some
of you who stood by me when it
took brave men to do 80. I intend
to speak if I have to stay here un-
til shutdown"
He then went on to say that in
1875 he took his life in his own
hands to redeem the State, and he
thought then that the State would
at least have free speech, but it
seems that to some few men this
is not permitted. That will never
win. 1t won't work here or any,
where else. 1t will bring untold
woes if persisted in.

His First Sight Of a Deer.

North Woods Letter to Amsterdam D Democrat.
In the early dawn. just as the
mist was rising from the lake, e
proceeded thither to perform my
.ablutions when, ,look ing across to-
point about 800 yards, I spied
what at that distance looked like
COW. I called the guide, and he
said it was a deel. He had his
head down, browsing at the edge of
the lake. I Iclapped my hands, and
if Delsarte could have seen the ele-
CANT toss of that head he would
have been charmed. 1t was turned
with its branching horns in ourdi-
rection for a second, then he began
browsing again. I again clapped
my hands, and instantly he had
wheeled and bounded off into the
thicket. I never before understood
just how the deer are captured.
Perhaps some of my readers know
just as little as I did. Well, then,
the deer hunter sets his dog off
into the woods from any point on
the lake, the dog sooner or later
finds his prey, and is taught to
chase it. The deer puts for the
lake as its only safety and escape
from its pursuer. The dog is train
ed to keep it in the right direction,
and when it emerges from the
woods there in the boat is the dead
ly rife which is to end it's career.

The True Man.

If you want a true man, don't
look for him on the crest of the
wave of success, but in the trough
of the sea as he fights back the
binding sprang.
If you want true man, pass
the fower-bordered walks of ease
and look for him who picks his
way with bleeding feet over the
cruel stones that lie along the up
ward path.
If you want a true man, look
not when the sun shines fair, but
watch for his face in the binding
flash out of the dark night.
If you want a true man, look for
him who stoops under his heavy
load to Tighten the burden of the
weakling.
If you want true man, look for
him whose faith in his God and
his fellow man has not teen allow
ed to be smothered by disappoint-
ment, but burns brighter and
brighter as he nears his long home.

Another Account.

CHARLESTON, S. c., July 81
When the senatorial candidates
left the stand they were in bad
humor. Gen. Butler dined at the
railway station house and Gov.
Tillman went to Judge Townsend's.
Gen. Butler announced that he in
tended to zee Gov. Tillman about
the matter. They did not meet
again until after the train fol
Spartanburg had started. Gov.
Tillman had gone into the Pullman
and was sitting with Mr.. Stanyarn
Wilson. Gen. Butler took his seat
in the frst class coach and soon
after the train started began to
look for Gov. Tillman. The news
paper men had an idea of what
was up and we're all close behind
him. After them came Gen. Rich
bourg, Mr.. Ellerbe, Col. John Gary
Watts, Mr.. Yeldell and Cal. Caugh-
man and Gen. Buffers brother.
That was the regular contingent.
After going through the regular
train the party went ill the Pull
man. There, on the front seat, sat
Gov. Tillman and Mr.. Wilson in a
conversation. Gen. Butler address
ed Gov. Tillman and asked him
whether he did not know that the
article about the dispensary had
been prematurely published in the
News and Courier through acci-
dent. Gov. Tillman remaine1
seated and replied that he under
stood" from Mr.. Kohn (corres-
pondent for the News and Courier)
something about the matter. Gen.
Butler insisted if he did not know
it was an accident. Gov. Tillman
replied that if he had been in Gen.
Buffers place he would have made
a personal explanation as he came
up on the train with him from Co.
lumbia; he had no right, he said,
to look to Mr.. Kohn for any ex-
planation. Gen. Butler insisted
and called for more specific state
ment. They split words for a
minute. Gen. Butler called on the
correspondent to explain what be
had told Gov. Tillman about the
matter.
The reporter said that Gov. Till
man had rung him up on the tele-
phone and asked him what the
dispensary publication meant, as
it was not delivered. He explained
that copies had been given out and
that he had telegraphed the News
and Courier that the matter should
not be published as it was not de-
|livered at Laurens. This seemed
to leave the matter with Gen. But
ler and Gov. Tillman. Gov. Till
man held that the matter should
have been explained to him by
Gen. Butler and that the News and
Courier was no friend of his. After
humming and having the flood
broke loose, when Gen. Butler
said:
Gail that has nothing to do with
it and I want to say that you per.

come to tell you that these mat.
ters must be settled personally, and

German Carp in Carolina Waters.

News and Courier. @
The German carp is here to stay.
Within six or eight years be has
multiplied to an amazing extent.
The lordship of the Santee and its
branches he disputes with the red
horse, the catfish; and since his
increase is wonderfully rapid he
bids fair in short time time to
make himself more prominent
than any Of his rivals. It is very
probable, too, that the freedom of
running water will gradually i'm
prove his quality, if not his size.
The carp has been praised be-
yond his deserts, and he has been
also much maligned. He IS not
the finest fish that swims, though
Izaak Walton, gallantly feminiz-
ing MIN, calls MIN line queen OF Z
rivers; a stately, a good, and g.
very subtitle fish. In the Charleston
market buyers would pass him by
on the other side, and further: in
land he is regarded as decidedly Y
inferior to many small pan fish,
and to the trout, which, by the way,
is no troutat all, but a black bass.
But he is superior to the catfish,
the mudfsh, ,and. perhaps, thejack.
After allis said, however, the carp's$
worth remains, like the voters
choice for Governor or Senator, az
matter Of taste. A great deal de-
pends on the cook. e.

"Yet Governor Tlllman gets uI
and talks about my mouth being
sewer. God save tho sewer pipes
if his mouth is not worse than any
I know of"
This was the OCCASION for an.
other outbreak of applause fol
Tillman, and a lot for Butler to
counteract it. This about started
the row. Going on General Butler
said:
"I want to say this. The figures
1 gave in that article l secured
from competent authority, and not
the whlskey trust, but Tillman
does not answer the ctquestion,
Are the figures correct?' Why
does he not answer the facts and
6gures?"
Governor Tillman: "I've already
done so once. I said they were
not true"
The hurrahing and feeling were
getting worse.
INsINUATEs DISHONESTY.
"The point is," continued Butler,
'swhether the figures are correct,
and I want to say I got them from
a reliable source. Talk about my
not paying my honest debts. If I
had the dlspeasary at my back
with its hundreds of thousands Of
dollars in it, I would perhaps be
able to easily pay everything, and
feather my pockets"
Great hurrahs for Tillman and
some for Butler.
''The fact" continued General
Butler, "that man is poor man
ought not to lay him liable to any
Anybody who says
don't pay my honest debts tells a
falsehood. That I am poor man
is not my fault, but Tillman talks
like rich man. All l have done
is my duty to myself and to my
country
The hurrahing kept up for some-
time and at the first lull General
Butler said, "He'll need all the
hurrahing he can get"
(An, ex-soldier: "You led me
once, and he is leading me right
now" referring to Tillman.
At the first break General Butler
said:
81 understand that this is put
up job to howl me down. Butyou
can't do it. ('Rah after 'rah for
Tillman.) If you want anything
you can get it. I'll take you black
guards one at a time and give you
all you want"
That was a little too severe for
some. Down through the crowd
came I. M. Mobley, tearing for
Gen. Butler, but he stopped before
he got where there was any trouble.
1t didn't please General Butler.
The hurrahers got mad.
"He's charged US with being
they cried, and oil sorts
of things. Men came crowding up
towards the stand. The yelling
kept up. The men knocked up
against each other and talked and
hurrahed. The little fence around
the stand was broken down. The
crowd trampled on the territory of
the reporters.
"He's an honest man and we
won't let him be denounced" some
one cried.
"By God, don't let him call US
thieves" came the response.
Governor Tillman got up and
asked that General Butler be given
an audience. General Butler asked
him to sit down. Chairman A. G.
Lyles, who tried his best to keep
things quiet, got up and said: 81
am surprised at you"
DR.. Munro came up and said
Gen. Butler would have to speak,
QUIETING DOWN.
Well, things went on in ajarring
excited way. No one knew how
things would end, but luckily they
simmered down. When General
Butler managed to be heard, he
said:

morning while seven men were at
work in it. Rescuers at once started
to remove the debris and soon sue
needed in reaching one Of The
nen- William r. Jones-who was
AIKEN out in such a badly injured
condition that there is little hope of
his recovery.
One of the other men, man
named Ramaley, is not yet dead, as
he has been able to make himself
heard by the rescuers. None of the
others make any sign, being crushed
under hundreds Of tons of rock.
LATER. Ramaley was dug out of
the debris in the tunnel more dead
than alive. He knew nothing of the
others fate. Samuel kreitz vas
found crushed to death. These two
men were found nearest the mouth
of the tunnel.
