WILDERMAN GETS BAIL,
Given His Liberty Early in the
Morning on $1,000
Bonds.
Secretary McRae Says He Warned Lar.
sen Against Risking Money
With the Man.

G. W. Wilderman, the old man who
originated the scheme known as the
"Worlds Christian Cooperative Society,"" +"
and who was arrested Saturday night on a
charge OF embezzlement preferred by
other members of the society. was given
his liberty on $1,000 bonds early yesterday
morning.
Secretary McRae says the society had
only $122 40 OIL hand-its capital stock is
$50 900, 0O0-when the effort was being made
by Larsen, the suicide, to have Attorney
Allen proceed against the organization.
He took all this money and with several
other members raised $50 more and gave it
to Larsen, leaving the society without
funds.
Mr.. McRae said he warned Larsen after
the man put in his first 500 not to sink
any more money in the scheme, but that
Wilderman got hold of him and as result
Larsen invested $3.50 more. McRae' s words
to him were, he says:

YESTERDAYS COURSING.
Regent Won First Money at Ocean View
Park - Kerrigan's Stake
Was Divided.

In view of the fact that most OF the best
dogs are in training for the big Thanksgiv-
ing meetings the entries at the coursing
parks yesterday were of an unusually high
order and those who were on hand to wit
ness the sport had an enjoyable days out
ing.
At Casserly & Kerrigan's Ocean View
park the hares ran like demons and many
made their way to the escapes in advance
of the dogs. Speculation was heavy ana
the occasional win of a short-ender gave
those who are averse to playing tavorltes
courage to keep the booksellers busy hand
ing out red and white tickets.
AS but twenty-four dogs were entered,
the stake was finished at seasonable
time, and the crowd departed before the
sun disappeared behind the western nils.
Regent justified the confidence OF his
owner and hackers by winning lrst money,
Mary K being runner up. FOlloWlng is
the result of the run down:

Tilllnan Dlecloses the Scheme.

BRANcuv1LLE, July 22.-When l
wrote the summary of the suffrage
schemes discussed by the ring leaders,
which I send with this, | had no idea
that it was SO soon to receive direct
corroboration from the man who has
been the head of the Reform move
ment from its very inception. But at
a meeting held at Hunter S Ferry, ten
miles from this place in Barnwcll
county to-day, Senator Tillmau made
a speech in which he handled the mat
ter, and I am able to quote his exact
language on the scheme. The meet
ing was one of the Baruwell county
campaign meetings and during the
forenoon speeches we're made by the
candidates in the county for delegates
to the Constitutional convention.
There were about 600 people present
nearly all of them being Reformers
and about sevcnty-Gve being ladies'.
An excellent dinner was served, after
which Governor Evans spoke, and
then Senator Tillman faced the crowd.
He came out squarely and gave the

One of the competitors called out:
"What are you going to appoint him!
He cannot write his name, your hon

The man was then told to call again
in two weeks. AS the people were
leaving the hall, friend came to the
Irishman and said, "Now, Pat, GO
home, take pen, and keep on writ
ing your name, and I will set you the
copy.
When the fortnight was up, Pat
made his appearance at the hall, i, and
the mayor said, "Can you write %

"Well, take that pen and let me see
you write your name. y
To the surprise of the bystanders
he took up the pen and wrote his
name. Some one said to the mayor
"Tell him to write someone else S
name.

A Funeral and q Feast.

On last Sunday, July IA, at 12
o'clock, at Zion Baptist Church, near
the North Carolina State Line, in the
famous cotton valley neighborhood,
the funeral of Mrs. j. G. Graham,
was preached by the Rev. Mr.. Tart.
The bereaved husband with his three
little orphan girls went over from
Dillon on the train to the funeral OF
the departed wife and mother. Mrs.
Graham was sick when she moved to
Dillon nearly two years ago. She was
never able to be up but very little
from then until the time Of her death.
She was affected with consumption.
Quite number of friends and rela-
tiyes assembled at Zion Church to
pay their last sad respects to the de-
parted Mrs. Graham. It was scene
calculated to excite the deepest SYM
pathy for the sorrowing husband and
motherless little children.
In all the congregation Of sorrowing
friends there was no one whose afec-
tion for the bereft husband and chill
dren were more deeply stirred than
were those of Miss Francis Campbell,
Of Cotton Valley. The many little
sntions Of kindness to the orphan
y.-lldren were not wholly unheeded by
the observant father, and he became
convinced that Miss Campbell would
make good stepmother.
After the service was over ne at
once sought and obtained the consent
of Miss Campbell to become his second
wife. Without further delay, at 4
clock sharp, just four hours after
the funeral Of his first wife, he led the
blushing bride to the Hymeneal altar
where the twain we're made one, and
the 6 clock train brought the happy
couple to Dillon, where they will make
their future home.-Dtllon Herald.

That "Bloody Angle" again.

EDITOR INTELLIGENCER In your
issue of week before last there was
an article from B. T. Brown, Of Au-
gusta, Ca, in which he gives de-
scription Of the "Bloody Angle or
the battle of Spottsylvania c. H., Va.
I, then a boy of II years, was present,
and there I, too, shed my first blood.
I was about 90 feet to the left Of
the oak that was cut down by rife
balls, near a white oak that was badly
torn by bullets, when one struck it
and splinters from the tree struck my
chin and went to the bone. The
wound bled freely for a few minutes,
but was soon forgotten, as the entire
line just then ceased firing, and the
big, tall Yankee, that Mr.. Brown
mentions, came up to where | was
standing and asked us tousurrender.
When he found that we would not
surrender, he made an attempt to run
back to his own line, and had got
some 20 feet from our works, when
the ringing report of a rife was heard,
and the Yankee fell on his face dead.
The fatal shot was fred by a beardless
youth of Harris Mississippi Brigade.
Mr.. Brown is mistaken about the
man getting back to the enemy's line,
for that happened about the middle
of the afternoon, and at dark he was
lying in the same position in which he
fell.
The boy was severely rebuked for
firing the fatal shot.
We fought all day. I would wish
for night to come, so the fighting
would stop, but it seemed as though
the day would never come to an end !;
but, after what We imagined to be
about two days, darkness set IN, Dut
the firing was as brisk as ever, until
near midnight when it began to slack
up little, but only for a short time,
as we received orders to rise and fire
as one man, and to aim low in front OF
the breastworks. We did so, and by
the fash Of so many guns at once We
could see the enemy's soldiers not ten
feet in our front, where they had
crawled up to take us by surprise, but
many of them never lived to get back.
Oh that awful day and night. 1t
will never be forgotten by those pres
ent. When we got out Of there, we
found our General, our Colonel, and
our Captain were wounded, and thir-
teen commissioned officers and
privates failed to answer at roll-call in
our Company. d. b. w.,

It is estimated that the late con-

One Relic Short.

Some time ago, when I was in the
museum at Washington, a man came
in with friend of his from the coun-
try. He showed the visitor the trous:
ers and waistcoat worn by General
Washington, and the visitor, after ex-
amining them with deep interest, ex-
claimed
"And so Washington really wore
those identical clothes, did he? Won
derful, wonderful.
Then the man showed him Wash
ington's sword, and the visitor said
"What ? Is that the sword he wore
in battle? The very sword he wore
with him when he crossed the Della
ware, and at Valley Forge, and those
places You don't say And that's
the very-well, by George, it's great,
it's tremendous. [ never expected to
see such splendid old relic as that. y
The man then directed his attention
to Washington s camp chest, with the
plates from which he used to eat, etc.
And the stranger said:
"No! You don't mean to tell me
that them the exact plates he ct OF
of. He didn't eat his yittals off OF

up with that precise knife and fork

Makes a man feel as if those revolu,
tionary times was real, don. t it? And
to think that that great and good man
actually took his meals on that crock

to make feller holler.
Then the man asked him to move on
to the next case, but he said:
"!Ain't there any more OF them rel
les of Washington here

over to the next case.

THE "HoMEsTEAD" CERTAIN.

The only other tissue" hear re-
ceiving any discussion at all is the
Homestead clause, as agitated in
many counties, and it seems to be abb
solutely certain to be provided for.
AS to all other matters, or issues
nothing is yet being said by those who
are directing the movements Of "the
powers that be" They are being left
to the members of the convention, and
I doubt if the candidates for delegates
have been giving any such matters any
attention.
The truth is the agitation of impos-
sible schemes for division of delegates
in the several counties and the atten-
tion given to the legal fights which
have been going on in the courts, have
driven completely into the background
all discussion by and before the peo.
pie of the momentous question Of
chow" all these things were to be
brought about. Maybe they have
been willing to have others do the
thinking. 1t looks so, anyhow.

THE DIsPENsARY MATTER.

So much for this all-absorbing suf-
frage regulation. Now a word as to
the dispensary. It has been long
thought that the dispensary scheme
would be put into the Constitution as
as an entirety, but, as far as I can as
certain, there is no intention to do so.
The scheme is to put clauses into the
Constitution that will make constitu-
tional all the features of the law which
have been shown by the experience the
law has had in the courts to be uncon-
stitutitutiOnal.

THE PLAN DISCLOSED.
TilIman's Scheme to Regulate the Suf-
frage.
Columbia State.

AUGUSTA, GA, July 22.-1t is a
strange thing that the Constitutional
Convention is so very close at hand
and yet nothing more definite has been
made known than that the regulation
of the suffrage so as to disfranchise as
many negroes as possible, without dis
franchising any white men, except tor
crime, is the work it is cut out to do.
Not one of the other vital issues to
come up before this convention have
been presented to the public mind.
Men who are candidates for delegates
have as vague an idea of what the con-
yention was called to do as the mass
es have Of Norsemen's Valhalla but as
matter of fact, the question OF how
such changes in the organic law OF :,
South Carolina-changes that will af-
feet future generations when condi-
tions may be different, had not one ray
more Of light thrown on it so far as
the public is concerned than when
Tillman and Irby issued the address
which caused the Convention to be
called.
During the last few weeks the Ring
leaders have been seriously consider
ing the "hows," and many schemes
have been discussed with view OF
setting on some scheme that will stand
| the test of the United States Consti-
tuition.
I have during the past few days
moved about among several of the
most prominent leaders on the Reform
side in the State, aud some light can
be thrown on the chow"

woMAN's SUFFRAGE SCHEMES.

The woman's suffrage scheme has
been fully discussed by the leaders.
They have discussed plan like this !:
To put on property qualification Of
say 5000 for all white women, not con-
sidering the negroes. This would, it
was argued, give the white women in
the towns great power, while in the
country it would be dead letter.
Then the scheme of allowing all wo-
men to vote under an educational
qualification was discussed. This
would give the State some 10000 or
$4,000 new voters butit has been
viewed as dangerous experiment,
and many reasons have been advanced
why it should not be adopted. AS
near as I can ascertain, there now
seems to be no chance whatever for
Woman's Suffrage though a few
months ago there was some likelihood
of the scheme Just mentioned being
adopted.
