the previous Sunday, which sentence
was confirmed by the the supreme coun-

Aogil!iolo heard calmly the news

bitterly complained of the fre-

declaring that they would obtain moth

the chapel, saying he was comfortable
enough in his cell. An executioner
from Burgess performed the garottiDg,

Mut1ny and Murder.

Boston. Aug. IA cable received
in this city from Buenos Ayres says
that Capt. j. w Whitman and Mate
William Hansburg of the schooner
Olive Pecker, which ssiled from this
port on Jupe 27, had been murdered
by the crew.
The principal owners of the vessel
are j. P. Elliott & Go. of Boston, who
also sent out the bsrkentioe Herbert
Fuller, on which Capt. Nash and bis
wife and Mate Bamberg we're murder
ed. The Pecker was built in Belfast,
Me. The message containing the To-
formation was from a banking firm in
Buenos Ayres and gave only the bare
facts Of the double murder. together
with the statement that the vessel was
afterwards burned, but that the crew
escaped and landed at Bahia. The
owners hope they are 10 the custody Of
the United States consul there, who
would naturally assume charge Of the
sbipwrecked men.
The Olive Pecker was staunch

vessel is placed at $4,000, upon which
there is partial insurance. The cargo

shipped By the Export Lumber Com
paey They decline to put a valuation
on it, but it is thought il is fully To-
sured AS far as information received
by the owpers of the schooner is con-
cerned. the vessel was making good
progress in her course and must have
been between 40 aud 50 days out
when the murderous event of
which they we're ADVISED TO-
day occurred. This would bring
the Peaker well along toward ber
destination The opinion is borne out
by the news that the crew landed at
Bahia or, as the owners believe, Bahia
Blaoco, which is about 10 miles north
of Buenos Ayres. From the meagre
details received the owners form the
theory that the crew mutioied, killed
the captain and first officer aud seized
the ship It is difficult, however, for
them to explain the burning of the ves-
sci, unless unawed by the presence OF
superior officers, trouble ensued be-
tween members of the crew and the FIRE

out. however. that Hansburg, the mate,

Beunettsville, Aug, l8-Still con-
fined TO HE bed from the physical
collapse which he suffered at York
vile. Senator McLaurin was again
unable today to face his opponents
on the stump in his home county
The absent senator was touchingly
remembered by number of very
handsome boquets for him being sent
TO the stand The crowd which as
sembled numbered about 800. They
listened quietly and as quietly left
when the speaking was over
Chairman " D Evans presided
He introduced former Governor Evans
as "a young and gallant son of South
Carolina-one who is not unknown
to you =
Mr. Evans expressed his grati6ca
tion that so many were present. and
took it to- indicate that the people
were awakening to the real issue of
this campaign. he did not believe
chat animosity or county pride. would
cause the voters to forget that Dem
ocratic principles were at stake. 1t
was not his intention to strike Nc
Laurin except on his public utter
ances. He desired to conduct the
campaign fairly and honestly, but be
did not think his mouth should be
estopped while one of his opponents
lay sick in bed. Especially should
he have the right of speech. as that
sick opponent was having circulars
and copies of Yorkville paper con
tanning the supposed speech of Mr.
McLaurin at that place. In speaking
in McLaurin's absence he was at the
disadvantage of having to read from
his speeches and of showing up their
faliacies.
The question Of this cam paign is,
said Mr.. Evans, "Will you follow
this new evangel,' who would lead
You into the Republican party. or will
you cling to the faith of your
fathers ?'' Hastily then he reviewed
the history of the tariff from 1882 to
the present. He told of nulli6cation
and declared, "That's what you got
for making straight fight" He
charged that Mr.. McLaurin had spent
two hours in Sumter in trying to show
there could be no such thing as tariff
for revenue only A comparison was
then drawn between the Democratic
and Republican tariff demands. That
word protection in the Republican
platform was misleading, said Mr..
Evans. We think Of it as the pro.
lection of father for his child or the
protection told of in holy writ.
The farmer of the south and west
is free trader if he's got any sense.
Why ? Because he's got no manu-
featuring interest to protect 1t is
to his interest to buy his goods as
cheap as possible.
A little later Mr. Evans declared
he had to take McLaurln>s printed
record around with him. for be would
deny everything if the record was
not pulled on him. He had succeed.
ed in pinning him down to one thing,
and that was his opposition to free
raw material. McLaurin has declared,
Il don't believe in free raw materi-
al Then he stands with Havemey-
er aud the sugar trust. Should
McLaurin be elected on his platform
of opposition to free raw material he
could receive, were he corrupt, ST.
