be greater than has been considered
and this may result in throwing ac-

by that time at latest the work will
be undertaken, but probably not in

Laurin approved of the principle in

Senator Irby stated that the strained
relationship between himself and Ser-
ator Tillman had been fixed, that there
had been mutual explanations, and all
was now peaceful and serene.
Candidate Mayfeld urged the impor-
tanee of an expansion of the currency,
advocating that the banks be allowed
under restrictions to issue up to 40 per
cent. of their capital stock. He is un-
aualifedly opposed to the State dispen-
sary as now managed, holding that it
breeds corruption and scandal, and II

matters in counties. He favored the

different key from the gathering at
Sumter. There were only two speakers,
Senator McLaurip and former Senator
Irby. The three other candidates,
former Governor Evans, State Senator
Mayteld and Mr.. John I. Duncan were
not present.
Col. Irby was quite indisposed an ac-
count of the heat and spoke briefly. Mr..
McLaurin spoke for over an hour, with
the approval of the audience There
were absolutely no offensive personall-
ties between tie two candidates. What
there was of criticism was political and
acceptable.
Col. Irby said that there had been
no change in the political sentiments
since 1886, and that now, as then, he
was q ''tfue blue reformer." He
wanted it understood that he proposed
conducting his campaign as he saw
best. He spoke at length Of his SER
vice to the reform movement, and urg-
ed that he had always been a friend to
the poor and toiling masses. He had
taken the position that no man with q
white face should be disfranchised by
the constitutional convention of which
he was member, His views were an
tagonized by others and brought him
opposition. Later on ne was opposed
because he had refused to go as ''pos-
sible bolter" to the National Demo-
cratic Convention. He said he would
not have entered the race but for
solicitation. He did not believe that
the Conservatives were going to back
up Editor Gonzales in st.angling the
will of the people by fixing things be-
fore the primary. The reformers have
q right to suspect any reform MIR.
Gonzales champions, that Mr.. Gonzales
had never seen any good in reform,
and had fought Tillman and himself,
and would continue to do so. Mr.. Nc
Laurin was regarded by this editor as
an available candidate" and he ar
gued at length that the Democrats had
had enough OF supporting Republicans
as available candidates. He called upon
McLaurin to repudiate support as an
available candidate. He again re-
ferred to what he regards as the weak
policy of Governor Ellerbe. His speech
was several times applauded.
When Senator McLaurin got up to
speak, Col. Irby asked to be excused,
but Mr.. McLaurin asked him 20 remain
a moment, and then Mr.. -dcLaurin
said he was delighted to meet Col, Irby
on the plane Of to-day's speech, and
that if they could keep it up, and he
would do his part, there would be In

terest and benefit in the campaign. He
said he would be the last man to rot
Col. nby of what he had done for re-
form or the people, but that now the
fight was on other and national issues,
and he was right on these, and Col.
Irby thought he was right in his opin-
ions. He had also done his share oi
the work for reform when it took fight
ing. He was today as staunch re-
former as ever. He had formed no COM
bine with Mr.. Gonzales. The Green.
vile News favored Col. Irby more than
any other candidate, and it was time
for Col. Irby to repudiate the assist
ance of Gold Bug Editor Ball.
The real and striking merits Of Nc
Laurin's speech was in his exposition
of his tariff views, and he took it up in
pocket book manner so as to meet his
audience, which was deeply interested
in his fight for duty on yellow pine,
cross ties and rice. Mr.. McLsurin
made q magnificent logical presenta.
ton of his views, which he urged were
in the interest of the pocket books and
resources of the South.
He said he was 80 closely in touch
with the people of his district that be
would not lose twenty-five votes in
some counties. and said his appoint
ment to the Senate was unsolicited, and
while Ellerbe may make mistakes,
there was no nobler or more incorrupt-
ible man in South Carolina. Zap.

TILLMAN's GREATEST GLORY.

You may sneer and kick at Tillman
from the morn until the night;
You may say he has a pitchfork that
emits silver light;
You may rail at his orations, his profes-
sions or his whims,
And that sarcasm of his answers that no
question ever dims;
But you, really must acknowledge, while
your eye with wonder glows,
That he's gaining lasting glory by his
tariff ripping pose.
Just observe him in the Senate as the
schedule up he takes,
When he pitches into sugar and lays
bare the tariff fakes;
How he keeps the boodlers squirming
as he scores them with thrust,
While defending common people 'gainst
the inroads of trust;
And it's certain by the plaudits of the
masses in repose,
That Ben Tillman's gaining glory by
his tariff smashing blows.
There's a CLEAN of e1altation bursting
thrc' the silver crew,
As it conjures up the changes Tillman's
work presents to view;
Journals that cartooned the pitchfork
are applauding Tillman now,
And urging him to use that fork when
''protection(?)" robs the plow.
So, with visions Of the future, silyer's
spirit overhows-
Hear the people yelling "Tillman!"
when he hits their Doodle foes.

Information indicates that the strike
order has been generally obeyed ex.

At Danville, ILL.,, the Kelley mines

The Charleston Meeting.

State Senator S. G. Mayfeld entered
the senatorial race in the campaign
meeting held here. He said he favored
the tariff for revenue only and Demo
cratic doctrines He devoted much
time to discussing his solution Of the
dispensary troubles, advocating local
option by counties, first making the
State prohibition, and letting such
counties as wanted to license the sale
under restriction.
Senator McLaurin, who was unwell,
spoke entirely on tariff issues. He de-
Tended his position in voting for tariff
on rice, lumber, etc., and agreed that
the time had come to look out for the
South's pocketbook without surrender
of principle. He was hansomely re-
ceived
Former Senator Irby started out
complaining of an interview given IN
the afternoon papers by Mr.. Applet,
friend of McLaurin. Appelt said no
disrepect was intended when he said
Irby would not carry Laurens. 1rby
said he did not expect much in Charles
ton, as he had been too close to I'LL
man and the interests of the poor man.
He was friend of Charleston when
she needed friends, and had no i'll will
toward that city, but feared there was
a scheme to do Charleston injury by
engendering q sectional prejudice.
Irby joked about the career of Nc
Laurin, and said that McLaurin could
have done his State much more good as
member of the ways and means COM
uiffee than as a mupwump Senator
The meeting was attended by 500
people, and the best of order was OBJ.

the candidady of John I. Duncan and
his regrets were expressed. No mes
sage was received from John Gary
Evans, another candidate.

HOT AND DRY WEEK.

j. W. Bauer's Weekly Weather Crop
Bulletin.
The South Carolina weekly crop bull
letin for the week ending July 9th,
says, in part:
Although the week was exceedingly
hot and in places dry, yet on the whole
correspondents pronounce it a favorable
one for the farmer, with many excep.
tions principally on account OF lack OF
rain, and extreme heat.
The greatest need of rain exists IN
the upper Savannah valley, the extreme
northwestern and northeastern coun-
ties, and in scattered sections elsewhere,
but since reports closed quite heavy
rains have fallen over portions OF the
State. but whether the rains covered
those portions most il need Of 1t, Is not
known.
Cotton is blooming over the entire
State and although the stalk and weed
continue small, Is fruiting heavily.
Cotton was damaged by hail IN Claren-
don, Dorchester and Aiken counties,
while from Berkeley there are reports
of too much rain. Complaints. OF
shedding. and that the plant has
stopped growing, were received from
Clarendon, Orangeburg and Edgefeld,
and of grassy condition of fields from
Barnwell, Fairfield, Berkeley, York,
Bamburg, Hampton, Florence, New
berry, Chester and Clarendon. How
ever, favorable reports preponderate
greatly those to the contrary. Sea
Island cotton continues in splendid
condition, growing and fruiting we'll.
Early tobacco is being cut and cured
but its quality is not as good as the later
planting promises to be. Hail damaged
this crop slightly in Florence.
Rice is growing we'll generally al
though the fields are quite grassy, and
caterpillars continue troublesome in
places, but the fields are being flooded.
Sweet potato slips are still being set
out and the crop is doing well gener-
ally. ;.
Melons are ripening and being ship
ped but the crop is small one in acre
age, yield and generally in size of the
melons. Only few report this crop up
to an average.
Peas are doing well with generally
good stands. Are still being sown for
forage.
Cane is tasselling. Army worms
in grass in Charleston county. Gardens
failing. :.
Special reports on the present condi-
ton and probable yield Ct early corn
were received, and indicate q more
promising outlook than heretofore, but
the final results are as yet dependent
on the weather for the next few weeks.
The stalks are smaller than usual, and
color generally. The stands are irreg-
ular, due to poor termination of some
seed and to the ravages of worms,
the vet spring and poor preparation of
land.

own political stewardship. Mr.. Nc
Laurin was warmly received, and sat
down with the pleasing assurance Of
having made good impression.
Then the storm broke. Ex-United
States Senator John L. NJ. Irby was in
troduced, and for three-quarters Of an
hour was enacted as exciting scenes as
perhaps have ever been witnessed at q
campaign meeting in this, or any other
Safe. Things looked serious time and
again. At one time Irby and MeLau-
rim were only prevented from clinching
by the interference of those on the
Irby in his speech applied the sever
est language to McLaurin, and he came
to the front.
s When Irby rose, the cheers for Nc
Laurin were deafening. He made an
opening sally, McLaurin made an apt
aside, and the cheering was such that
Irby, despite repeated efforts, could not
go on. Then, when Chairman Purdy
auieted the crowd, he started out again
BY charging the crowd with trying to
howl him down. He said he knew that
It was all fixed up in this hot-bed of
Hsskellism and Conservatism. Pretty
soon he said he did not care how many
Of these city hepchmen tried to prevent
him from speaking.
Chairman Purdy advanced then and
said that it was their desire to give
Irhy a respectful hearing, and he asked
that he would not repeat that insulting
language. If he conld not be respect

BACKWARD COUNTIES.
Four Delayed Pension Reports Are

Four Delayed Pension Reports Are
Needed by the Comptroller
All of the counties of the State save
those of Beaufort, Laurens, Horny and
Hampton have forwarded to the State
board of pensions the revised lists of
the pensioners in those counties whose
claims have been approved. Comp
troller Norton has asked that these
counties be requested to send in their
reports Immediately as the whole pen
sion machinery had been clogged by
the delay. Inasmuch as the 800, 900
pension appropriation has to be pro-
rated according to the total number Of
pensioners in the State it is absolutely
impossible to tell exactly what amount
each pensioner will receive until every
report is in hand.
Mr.. Norton says that the board will
pay the whole amount at once and will
not make semi-annual payments. The
checks will be issued very shortly and
they will be sent to the several county
clerks of court, the modus orperandi of
delivery to the pensioners being the
same as last year.-The State.

SHOWER OF JULY ICE. y
A Graphic Account Of a Terrific
Haflstorm. ~ s.s

; A Graphic Account Of a. Terrific
Hailstorm. n Z
r. L. Campbell, q large farmer OF the
Bethel neighborhood, York county, wss
in Yorkville last Saturday and gave .
graphic account of terrific hailstorn,
which devastated his section few days
ago. ~
"The storm" said Mr.. Campbell,
"came ur very suddenly. I was out M
cotton f;.,ld at the time, and the first
thing rosiced was great chunk OF o
black cloud with a strange headlight
like glow in front. It was approaching
so rapidly and looking so threatening
that thought it would be good idea
to make for tenant house Several cf q
tho farm hands had run for the sane
place and by the time we were well un-.s
der shelter the storm broke in all its
fury Of all the situations have ever
been it was the most scarry. There was
not much water. 1t was principally g.
shower of ice. The roof of the tenant
house was good, but in less than two
minutes the hail had beaten of the
boards and was pelting US so unmerci-
IullV luat We were iOICco W CIOW0 0n--t
der beds for shelter The whole thing,
l suppose, lasted five minutes.
.'When | went out and took lopk
at the landscape, ". continued Mr..
Campbell, "the scene made me sick.
Where a little while before had . }
hundred acres of as fine wheat as 10
ever raised in the county, and acres
and acres of cotton and corn, there was
nothing but barren waste, white IN
spots with layers Of ice The crops 1
with the exception of few small sllips
were completely annihllated. In fact
most of the land looked as il it had inst
been prepared for sewing wheat or az II &
a pea crop had been turned under.
Next day I decided that perhaps
some of the wheat that had notsbeen
beaten into the ground might be sayed
and put the negroes to work with g.
couple Of horse rakes raking it up, and
along with the wheat they rakcd mp
thirty-seven dead rabbits, tcgether;s
with ON almost countless nulnber OF
small birds of different kinds. . #
Continuing, Mr.. Campbell said thst
o large number of chickens had been
killed about his yard and almost every
glass had been broken out fof hi2
dwelling house. The track OF the
storm was about half mile in width
and some three miles long.
Several other farmers besides Mr..
Campbell, including Representatives u. Z
K. Armstrong, sustained heavy dana
