Mr.. Duncan's latest dispensary charge
it should be remembered, is not that any
body really got any rebates; but that
Governor Evans indicated his willingness
to take them ,and told Mixson that Tillman
had "lined his pockets with them." And
Mixson, it will be noticed, has not denied
that Evans said what Duncan said he
said. Mixson merely claims that Dun
cans statement was "unauthorized." In
other words, Mixson appears to be in this
position: II told Duncan this and it is
true; but I did not expect him to tell
anybody"

Tom Watson seems to be dead set on
being vice president. The Atlanta Con-
stitution asked him few days ago as to
on what basis he thought a fair apportion-
ment of the electors Of the several states
could be made. He replied 81 state
that what I have heretofore said was based
upon the idea that your party show some
patriotism and retire Mr.. Sewall. If he
remain on the ticket and your party de-
clines the st. Louis overtures, there can be
no division Of electors. There can only
be straight fight. The Democratic man.
ayers must not demand that the Populists
do all the yielding. You must do some Of
it yourselves. Sewall can come off the
ticket without hurting his party. My
withdrawal would kill mine. Our people
cannot be led to the support of Bryan and
Sewall. Unless Sewall retires, the masses
of our party will, in my judgment, de-
mand straight Populist ticket"

OLD PATTERNS ONLY.

The cotton tie trust will get but cold
comfort in this section. So far as The
ENQUIRER has heard, none of the York.
Vile dealers have bought any new ties
and they do not propose to do So, Mr.. j..
H, Riddle is the largest dealer in the
town. He handles anywhere from 1,5OO
to 1000 patterns annually. A reporter
asked him day or two ago as to whether
he had bought any ties at trust prices.
He said:
mot bundle, and do not expect to
do 50. The increase in price is an outra-
geous swindle that is altogether unwar-
ranted, and have no idea that our people
will submit to it. In this country they
do not have to unless they just want to
throw their money away. So far as l am
concerned do not intend to handle any
thing except old material. I have al
ready bought l,5OO patterns and have an
option OH 1000 more. am having them
patched up neatly, and to all intents and
purposes they will be just as good as new.
1 propose to sell them at 40 cents pat
tern, and at this price they will be from
80 to 80 per cent. cheaper than new ma
terial.
Colonel d. P. Duncan Of the Alliance
Exchange, has made arrangements to get
a wire tie that will make good substi-
tute for the arrow tie and which can be
sold at one cent each. His idea contem-
plated eight ties to the bale-six around
and two lengthwise. Old patterns, with
old ties, however, are even cheaper than
this and Mr.. Riddle says he will not buy
any of the wire ties except on special or
ders-that is, he will not keep them in
stock, unless he finds demand for them.

THE TIRZAH CAMPMEETING.

The annual campmeeting OF the YORK
County Farmers Alliance was held at
Tirzah on Thursday and Friday, and was
attended by one of the largest crowds that
has ever assembled in this section. The
people were there from every part of the
county, and also from Chester, Lancaster,
and the adjoining portions of North Car
olina. They went by every describable
means ofconveyance, and included people
in every condition in life. The ENQUIR-
ER estimates the number present at about
$500 but others whose judgment Is just as
good, say that the actual figures would not
fall far short of 1000.
The exercises of the first day last year
were badly broken into by long contin-
ued, drenching rain. There was nothing
of the kind last Thursday. There were
those who thought its repetition would
have been acceptable. The heat was sim
ply intense. 1t was almost unbearable,
and the "water, water, everywhere" last
year was this year at a premium. All day
long there was perfect stream of human
ity at the two most convenient wells IN
the village. One of these wells was vir-
tually drawn dry and the supply of water
in the other was taxed to the utmost.
The hosting arrangement consists OF q
windlass and two buckets, and it Is safe to
say that during the whole Of Thursday
there was not minute at time during
which the windlass was not in motion.
After music by the Gold Hill and Bethel
bands the exercises of the day were open
ed with prayer by Rev. j. NJ. McLain.
Then followed an address of welcome
by Captain w. H. Edwards, and Mr.. W..
n. Elder who presided during the day,
introduced Mr.. J. w. Reid, secretary OF
the State Alliance, who made all appro-
pirate response.
The first set speech was delivered by
Governor Evans. 1t was understood that
there should be no personal politics In
any of the speeches, and the governor had
prepared a talk on Alliance and national

ssues. During the course Of bis remarks
he reiterated the attack that Senator Till
man had made on Judge Simonton at
Orangehurg on the day previous and pub
lished in the papers Of Thursday morn
ing, He discussed the free silver ques-
tion at length, told several jokes, and
when he concluded what he had 20 say
was literally applauded.
The next speaker was Attorney Gener-
al Barber. He had also been especially
invited and had prepared himself ac-
cordi ngly. He talked ofthe progress that
the state had m ade in educational mat
ters and concluded with an able discuss
ion of ex isti ng economic problems. He
was listened to with careful interest
throu ghout, and it is universally conced-
ed that he made the speech Of the day.
Next folio wed an, intermission OF an
hour for dinner. A large per cent. OF the
immense crowd came well prepared with
good things to eat. There were eatables
for sale on the grounds, the people gener-
ally were hosphs5le, and nobody went
hungry.
After dinner, Mr.. Wilborn delivered
an address in which he explained the
nature of the fight that is now on with
the cotton tie trust. He advised the use
of second hand bagging with old ties,
sugarsack bagging with wire ties, or
almost anything rat her than put up with
the extortion of the trust.
Captain Edwards read q letter from Mr.
Joseph C. Sibley to DR.. Strait, regretting
his inability to be present. II seems that
he had previous engagements, and then
he didn't think the people Of this section
needed missionary work anyway. he
believed that if each state in the Union
had elected majority Of such represen-
tatiyes as had been sent to congress by
South Carolina, the evil conditions which
now confront the people. of the country
would have never existed, or would soon
be terminated.
The next speakers were Messrs. Rob-
ertsnn and Mayfeld, candidates for the
office of state superintendent Of education.
MI. Mayfield devoted himself principally
to national topics. Mr.. Robinson, talked
of the advantages of better roads, told
several Jokes, and also had Q little to say
about national affairs. They were follow
ed by Mr.. w. J. Gaines, agent Of The
Cotton Plant and the State Alliance E1-
change. He urged the support OF The
Cotton Plant. scored trusts Of all kinds,
and warned the farmers to beware Of
money lenders. When he concluded his
remarks he had the satisfaction Of taking
quite number Of orders for his paper.
After the speaking, the dispensary was
opened, and for several hours the doors
and windows of that institution was jam
med with thirsty crowd Of humanity,
anxious to get something to drink before
the closing ofthe doors or the arrival OF
the west bound train.
It was understood that yesterday was to
be given over to the congressional candi-
dates, and if there was time, to others
who cared to speak. While, Of course,
the speeches were non political, each man
who addressed the dear people was to be
entitled to all that he could do for him
self, and nobody failed to make as much
of the situation as he knew how.

The greatest objection that they are
making to Bryan now is his youth. The
Negro who was exhibited by Barnum as
the bodyservant of George Washington,
was one hundred years of age, and we
presume that to the objectors to Mr..
Bryan he would have made an. ideal
president. Fact is, Bryan has just lived
long enough to prove that he is one of the
greatest living Americans.

Senator Tillman spoke in Orangeburg
last Wednesday under the auspices of the
Tillman Volunteers. The object of the
occasio on was to raise money with which
to buy uniforms for the company. An
admission fee Of 10 cents was charged,
and there were present some fifteen hun
dred people. Quite number, however,
who came to town for the purpose OF
hearing the speaking, stayed away for the
reason that they were unwilling to pay
the admission. Senator Tillm devoted
himself mainly to national affairs; but
before he closed created Il sensation by
making an attack on Judge Simonton,
1t was because of Judge Simonton's order
with reference to the rate war between
the Seaboard Air Line and Southern rail
roads. He said: "You all know that as
we'll as I do; but, fellow citizens, yester'
day this man assumed to contradict the
right of solvent corporations to cut rates

If two great corporations like the
Southern and Seaboard see fit to cut rates,
for the benefit of the public, we are unable
to see what right the courts have to inter-
fere. We have never heard of such inter-
ference when two merchants were cut
ting at each other. Indeed, we have al
ways been taught to believe that the COM
petitive principle was the very life of
trade

When John T. Duncan started out in
the senatorial race, he was described as
one of the lightest Of the light weights.
It is beginning to appear, however, that
he is at least as heavy as either of his COM
petitors. He may not get as many votes
as Evans or Earle; but it will certainly
not be because he is any less deserving.

eoo.ooo.ooo POUNDS


OF coffee were imported into the Uni
ted States the year ending July /,
1898. This is the largest item of the
importations Of all kinds of merchan-
disc, about Is per cent. of the total
amount. 1t is l6 per cent, larger
than that of the previous year. Near.
ly every family uses coffee, and few
of them know the different qualities
when they see them, therefore people
in their ignorance try anything called
coffee. There are, however, certain
trade marks which guarantee a given
quality. Having once used Woods
"Acme," "Dutchess," Or any of the
other fine brands, one would never
think of using common article few
cents less in price. In putting VI
these extra fine coffees, much depends
upon the expert who makes the Sc
lection and who can readily discrimi
nate between the different qualities
These choice grades are better valu,
and more gratifying in their use
When we consider the social advan
tages to be derived from fine cup o
coffee, or Of tea, and that the fines
quality gives the greatest pleasure, i
is wisdom TO buy the best.
While the importation of tea is no
so large as that of coffee, it holds
social position not to be under estima
ted. The United States imports abou
0,000,000 pounds per annum, a.
amount which increases at the rate O
2 per cent. each year. The varietie
Of tea imported are not so numerou
as the qualities. Much depends upo
the condition under which the crop !
raised and cured-the time of pick
ing, age of leaf, the care and cultiva
tion-indeed more conditions than en-
ter into the production of most crops
Tea at % cents per pound may al
| pear as valuable to the ordinary cor
shiher as any other grade, but to til
expert be nearly worthless. In fat
the different qualities of fine teas al
now so accurately determined by IL
expert who selects them, that IL
"Trade Mark" is almost entirely n
lied upon for quality. If you as
your neighbor, "What tea do yc
use!" she doubtless replies, Nv God
May Queen" Or "Primrose," or son
