After Irby's Scalp.

Senator Irby has been selected as q
delegate to the Constitutional Convention
from Laurens County. Irby has lost
great deal of his influence in South Caro-
lima. His conduct has clearly shown that
his election to the high position which he
now holds was great political mistake.
His incapacity and utter lack of gentility
has disgusted those who once thought
that there was something in the man and
it is generally believed that he is marked
for retirement at the next election. There
are younger and more capable men in the
Stale who are watching and waiting for
the Senator's scalp. Governor Evans has
the Senatorial bee loudly buzzing in his
hat Congressman McLaurin is saying
nothing but is quietly laying his plans
for Irby's place. He Is feeling his way
and if it is all favorable he will be in the
fight to finish. Senator Tillman will
try to keep hands of, but it is believed
that he will secretly favor Evans election.
Irby is aware of these things and will
endeavor in the Convention to do every
thing he can to regain his lost popularity
and make certain his reelection. Thus
with Evans and Irby and Tillman in the
Convention lively times may be expected.
Evans will bow to Tillman to receive his
influence in '96. Irby believes this and
will act Independent and is shallow
enough to attempt to measure his strength
with Tillman's. The result will finally
be that Evans or McLaurin-with chances
in favor of Evans-will be elected Senator
and Irby will 20 back on the farm "cuss-

To Gather at Chickamauga.

CHATTANOOGA, Tenn, Aug. 81 The
largest and altogether most remarkable
gathering of war veterans Of the North
and South since the great struggle ceased
will be held little more than two weeks
from now on the occasion ofthe dedication
of the Chickamauga and Chattanooga
National Military park.
Not only are the old soldiers interested
in the event, but the national government
has taken hold Of the matter with an en-
ergy that promises to make the ceremo-
MES of deep interest. 1t has been esti-
mated that about 100000 visitors will
make the journey to East Tennessee to
participate in, or witness the events
which will bring together the remnants
of the armies who fought in the bitterest
batteles Of the war, One railroad alone
has already contracted for the transpor-
tation Of 100, 600 visitors.
Fully IS per cent. of those who attend
the national encampment of the G. A. R..
at Louisville on September llth and the
same proportion OF those at the encamp-
ment Of the Sons of Veterans, at Knox
Vile, few days later will come to Chat
tanooga.
The 10th and Goth ofSeptember are the
days set apart for the dedicatory exercises
expected to begin to arrive week before
then. Beginning with Friday, the 18th,
the members Of the reception and enter
tainment committees will meet all in
coming trains previously advised and
conduct visitors to the Office of the COM
mittee where they will be assigned quar-
ters. Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday
there will be steam boat excursions on the
Tennessee river and excursions by train
each day to the Chickamauga battle field.

Largest Hog In the State.

There is reasonable probability that
York County is going to win the Neacs
and Courier'S SlO0 in gold for the largest
hog raised in the State, and if so, NJ. J.
Morgan Leech, of Hickory Grove, is
likely to be the successful man.
Mr.. G. C.. Leech, father of the owner of
the competing pig, was in Yorkville on
Monday, and being asked about the mat.
ter said that ''if any man beats US he will
have powerful fine hog" In answer to
further questions he said that the hog is
of the Ohio improved Cheshire stock, and
is now nearly 81 months old. 1t was
weighed week before last and sent up the
beam at 26O pounds, showing q net gain
of 60 pounds during the preceding thirty
days, against "a pounds for the month
previous. Mr.. Leech says that he could
have easily put on rs or so pounds last
month, but was afraid to risk it on ac-
count of the heat. At "a months old hogs
of the Ohio improved Cheshire stock have
been known to weigh as much as ! 400
pounds, and if Mr.. Leech does not have
any bad luck he might make his hog 60
up to something like 800 OF 900 before the
close of the present competition.-York-

The Jackson Vase.

To the Editor Of the State: AS little
incident of historic value, the manner in
which the large silver vase which was
presented to South Carolina by Gen.
Jackson in recognition Of the services of
the Palmetto regiment during the Mexi.
can war was saved during the last war,
will doubtless not prove uninteresting.
When it became evident that the Fed
eral forces would reach Colum bia, the
vase was turned over to Col. Caughman,
a Mexican veteran who lived in the Mill
creek section of this county. Col. Caugh-
man entrusted the vase to trusty negro
servant, Ned Deuley, who bnried it, and
after Sherman evacuated this section re-
turned the vase to Col. Caughman, who
again placed it in charge of Capt. w. B.
Stanley, the president of the Mexican
Survivors Association.
In recognition of Ned Deuley's fidelity,
the survivors offered to buy him q tract
of land for home. Deuley, however,
preferred a mule with which to make a
crop that year, and was presented with
purse of $50, with which he obtained
mule, and ever since has been prosper
Gus farmer. lie is still living, about eight
or nine miles below Columbia, in the
Mill creek section.
The vase was put in the vault of the
banking house of Scott, Williams & Co.,
and when that bank was robbed in 1875
this vase was not disturbed. It is now
in possession of the few survivors who
remain, and will become the property of
the last survivor. f. 2. B.

Hanging too Good for Him.

ATLANTA, GA. August pa special
to the Constitution from Tallulah Falls
says that Seymour Keener was convicted
to-day at Clayton and sentenced to be
hanged on October Is. Keener killed his
two cousins, Leonia and Arizona Moore,
on Sunday afternoon, June % last.
Keener had once proposed to his cousin,
Arizona, and she had refused him. That
was three years before. Keener threat
ened to kill her, but one or two Of her
sisters always accompanied her. Keener
once built blind on the Moore farm and
would hide behind with gun, hoping to
get shot at the girl alone. On this day
Of the double tragedy Arizona, Leonia
and Laura Moore, all sisters, went on a
visit to a neighbours house. Keener saw
them 60 and when they returned he
sprang out from behind rock and shot
Leonia first. Laura seized both his hands
and held them while her sister, Arizona,
ran away. Keener finally broke loose,
however, and pursued and killed Arizo-
ma. He threatened to kill his sister, who
tried to save the girl. There has never
been legal hanging in Rabun County.

A Duel In Darlington.

DARLINGTON, Aug. 2O.-A fatal duel
between Ambrose Adams and Dorsey
Atkinson, with double barrel shot guns
occurred in the Swift Creek neighbor
hood few miles distant from this city
to-day, in which Adams was killed and
Atkinson mortally wounded. The cause
of the difficulty was some rudeness by
Atkinson towards the wife of Adams.
Both had armed and they fired on each
other on sight.
Adams was for several years police
man in this town. On one occasion he
had his bowels emptied on the ground by
a knife slash in the hands OF a negro.
Adams is about As years old and Atkin-
son was between Is and 20 years old.
The above facts are all that could be
learned of the fearful duel up to this
time.
Another report is that Adams was a
father-in-law of Atkinson. Both men
fred simultaneously. Atkinson was
shot in the heart and Adams received
the load in his abdomen. The trouble
was caused by Atkinson striking his
mother. in-law. The men are well-to-do
and respectable.-Special 10 Columbia

10 he Editor of the Neaus and Courier:
Please allow me space in the columns of
syour paper to call attention of the County
Supervisors throughout the State, and
especially those of the Piedmont counties,
to the great Importance, r believe, of hav-
Ing q meeting Of said Supervisors at some
central point during the month Of Octo-
Der, 1895. s.
i am quite an xious for us to meet and
consult together upon the new County
government law and its operation. There
are Bome changes needed in the law in
,orderto make 1t effective and serve the
purpose for which it was intended, and If
the Supervisors of the State will meet and
agree upon the changes needed the Leg
islature will not hesitate to make the re-
quired changes. am absolutely certain
that such u meeting would prove to be of
great benefit to our State. Then let US
meet at an early date and exchange ideas
upon the new law and the best method of
working our reads, utilizing our convicts,
{ etc, and ask our Legislature to give the
necessary changes. Let us hear from
some of the brethren on the subject. l

X is difficult to precisely define the
meaning Of the word statesman in this
8 country. Mem who win che favor Of the
press, men who have q peculiar gift for
b1icspeakipg, or who have unlimited
patronage at their disposal, sometimes
arecalled statesmen when craftsmanship
! is the Ieastof their accomplishments. In
England a man wins the honors Of q
statesman only by meritorious patriotic
service in public life. AS rule he is a
student Of history, man Of experience
in public affairs, of broad observation,
keen perception, and comprehensive
views. He is taken precisely for what
she is worth, and as he. rises in the world
OF politics to the eminent rank of q states
man hismsrits are recognized as the real
sbagis OF his elevation. In this bustling
country Of ours, where freak of fortune,
"a combination in politics, or a sudden
burst of popularity may elevate the
5humblest private citizen to the most dis
stinguished rank, the statas Of the real
statesman is not justly appreciated.
OnSg astatesman always statesman,
should be the rule here as 1t is in other
I lapds; Just as once q scholar or philoso-
pheralways scholar or philosopher.

Disgust In Lancaster.

The wholesale stuf1ing of ballot boxes
and other rascality practiced in the cleo
ton in this county last Tuesday should
put honest citizens of both factions to
thinking. The vote on that day was
light, but it would be much lighter if we
were to have another election right away.
The good people Of the county are thor
oughly disguised with such proceedings,
and unless there be change very many
of them will keep away from the polls
hereafter. There is nothing more demor-
alizing than dishonesty in elections, and
it makes no difference whether the dis
honesty be on the part of the voters or
the managers, the moral effect is the
same. Something will have to be done
to insure honest elections in South Caro-
lima. Things cannot continue as they
are.-LGncdStcr ReUiew.

Poisoned at a Birthday Party.

CHATTANOOGA, Tenn, Sept. 1.-Many
guests at birthday party given last
night at the house Of James Reed, in
London County, were poisoned by some
thing they ate. Members of the Reed,
Simpson and Abbott families are very
ill, and one or two will die. How poison
got into the food is a matter ofconiecture.
One theory is that Reed had loaded sew
eral watermelons with arsenic to catch
thieves who have been getting into his
patch, and that some of these melons
were eaten. Another theory is that a
custard served had been allowed to staud
some time in the brass kettle in which it
was cooked. By the use of andidotes, all
but one or two Of the eleven victims we're
gotten out of danger.
