THE SENATORIAL RACE.

There May be a Second Election and
No Predictions Are Being Made.
A special from Columbia to the At.
lanta Constitution under date Of the
11th. says there is already good desl
of figuring going on as 70 the result Of
the primary on August 81st for Senator
and it is seldom that result as been SO
uncertain.
Three days before the opening Of the
primary it seemed as if McLaurin would
have a walkover, but there has been q
considerable change since then. The
feld-Irby, Evans and Duncan-is unit
ed on one point, all are against McLau-
rim. A constant fire has been kept up
against him on his tariff views, with i'm
mense jahs on many other matters, such
as his having dictated the Populist plat
form, opposed Tillman's policy in the
Darlington war, etc.
The crowds, with very few exoep-
tions, have been undemonstrstive, many
Of the county papers are keeIing in the
middle Of the road, unable 10 pick the
winner, 90 that it is difficult 10 judge Of
the result OF this hamnering on the
young Senator.
1t is expected that the vote will be
pretty close, second primary being q
probability, and Charleston's vote is a
very important factor. But it trans
pires that q great many voters there
are without polltax receipts, necessary
to entitle them to vote, while many
others take no interest In the result,
looking on all the candidates in much
the same light. Pollta1es are always
paid moro generally IN election years.
Last winter, when the tax was due,
many neglected to pay, not expecting
an election this year. Then the ward
heelers have been accustomed to pay
the taxes of many men to get their
votes, bat the heelere are not in the
field, because no money has been put
up by the candidates and the local pol
iticians are not interested. There are
hundreds of men who are not affected
by the polltax matter who will be ab-
sent on summer vacations ct election
time. So the prospects are that Char
lesion will give very small vote.
Irby is said 70 be the favorite there,
but the friends of Evans are putting in
hard licks for their man. McLaurin
being conservative would be the nat
ural fayorite in Charleston, but the fact
that he and Governor Ellerbe are
known to be close politically and that
Ellerbe is unpopular because of his
failure to remove the metropolitan po-
lice, has mitigated against him.

THE 0REENvILLE REUNION.
A General Order Issued-An Arrange
ments Given.

A General Order Issued-An Arrange
ments Given.
Below is given q copy OF q general
order which has Just been issued by
Gen, Walker in regard to the coming
annual reunion of the Confederate vet
erans in Greenville. It will be OF
special interest to the veterans all over
the State:
General Orders No. 81:
/. The warm hearted and hospltaole
people Of Greenville are making every
arrangement for the comfort and enter
tainment of the veterans of the division,
and for the success Of their annual re-
union, August a6th, 1897.
II. Camps are earnestly urged to
send as large delegations as possible.
The low rate of fare, one cent per mile
for the round trip, will enable thous,,
ands from all parts Of the State to attend
this, which bids fair to be the grandest
reunion of old Confederates ever held
in this State.
III. The convention will convene
promptly at 10 a. m. August 25th at the
hall in Beattie's building, corner OF
Main and Washington streets,
~. The headquarters of the division
will be in the same building. All vet
erans are requested to register there
before the meeting of the convention
and secure their badges emitting them
to seats and other privileges OF the re-
union.
V. Committees of the home camps
will meet veterans on the incoming
trains as we'll as at the depot, and give
ell information and assistance in secur-
ing lodgings, etc. Camps will please
advise Gov. W. L. Mauldln, chairman,
of the number and names OF delegetes,
in order that they may be assigned
quarters on their arrival. 1t will great
ly facilitate the work of the local COM
mittee and the comfort Of the delegates,
if this is attended to.
vi. Sponsors Of the various camps
authorized in general order No. 90 will
please report on arrival to Col. James
A. Hoyt. Each camp is earnestly urged
to have q sponsor. Camps will please
carry their camp flags or banners, as
they may be needed by the sponsors.
VII. During the reunion, at time to
be fixed hereafter there will be reun.
ion ofthe old South Carolina commands
of the Confederate army by brisades
from the various commands.
VIII. It is hoped that all counties
having three or more camps not
yet organized into regiments, will
do 90, and report to these
headquarters before the reunion. The
major general commanding urges this
formation of regiments, and of many
neighborhood camps, as the surest way
of bringing all the veterans Of the di-
vision into camps and of keeping up
their interest in our worthy organiza'
ton, and its lsudable objects.
TX. Camps in arrears for their dues
TO the division for the years 1886 and
1s98-97, either or both, will please send
their delegations prepared to pay theil
dues Of cents per annum per comrade.
By command of Major General G. Ir'
vine Walker.

Adiutant General, Chief Of staff.

A Government Inspector Has Been
Asked For Clemson College.
Tbs board Of trustees Of Clemson
college are making every endeavor to
have the college open ne1t month with
the usual attendance and no pains will
be spared to take all possible precau-
tions against recurrence Of the recent
epidemic of fever at the college. Last
week Gov. Ellerbe had considerable to
say about what the board has been do
ing and he gives it ss his opinion that
parents can we'll AFFORD to send their
boys to Clemson in September, resting
assured that they will be in no danger
whatever. Though the State board of
health, in accordance with the law,
asked the detail Of an experienced
government officer to go to Clemson
and get at the causes of the recent cpl
demic and superintend whatever work
is necessary to forever remove those
causes. In speaking Of the matter he
said:
"The trustees Of Clemson college are
determined to take every step to put the
Clemson college buildings in good sani-
tary condition and to remove all causes
of the recent epidemic of fever and to
prevent recurrence All the recon-
meudations of the State board of health,
which made an inspection of Clemson
college after the fever, will be carried
out.
.The trustees instructed noe, as Gov
ernor, to request the State board of
health to ask DR.. Wyman, the surgeon
general of the marine hospital service,
TO send an expert sanitary engineer and
bacteriologist to Clemson to examine
the buildings and grounds with view
to assisting in the work of putting them
in satisfactory sanitary condition and
prevent any recurrence of fever in the
future"
The return of Prof. J. S. Newman to
the college will prove of great benefit to
the institution. Prof Newman is re-
earded as one of the best men the COL
iege has ever had. He will again take
charge of the very important depart
ment Of agriculture.

Tie Lancaster Meeting.

At Ian caster Senator McLaurin be-
ing absent Col. Irby and ex-Gov. Evans
had the field all to themselves. The
crowd of 800 listened to them attentive
~. Col. Irby began by disclaiming
that he was . "prophet or O SON of q
prophet" but few days ago he had
said that this race would narrow down
to Evans and himself and 'today it
looks as il that prophecy were fulfill
ed" Mr.. Msyfeld had flown the pit
and Mr.. McLaurin was not here. With
these predatory remarks, Col. Irby then
briefly reviewed his political record
from his election to the legislature in
1888 to his withdrawal from the SEN
storial rs1,e last year. He was prevent
ed from entering that race because Of
the enmity he had incurred in oppos-
ing the adoption of the suffrage clause
by the Constitutional convention.

said he had cast the deciding vote for
the Wilson bill, not that he favored it,
but because he thought it preferable to
the Mckinley bill, which would have
been perpetuated for some time had he
voted against the Wilson bill. McLau-
rim in the House voted for the Wilson
bill, but since then he had changed his
views. McLaurin no longer believed
in free raw material, while he did. He
favored free raw material because 1t
made the goods used by farmers cheap

fight it. THERE'S no middle ground, he
averred. Some one asked if he favored

The senatorial campaign at Newberry
vas one Of the largest, as we'll as one of
the quietest yet held. There was but
little hurrahing. Candidate John T.
Duncan appeared and said that he en-
tered the race to defend himself, and to
disprove any charges that might be
made. He said that if any candidate
pleaded naartyrdom on his account, he
could prove everything he ever said,
and if specific evidence was wanted he
could get it with accumulated proof.
Mr.. Evans, about whom Mr.. Duncan
had no doubt spoken, said that if any
one had any personal grievances to set
tie with him, he could easily be found,
and he did lot settle personal matters
on the stand. This will in all probs-
bility settle the matter.
All the other candidates spoke along
their same old lines on the tariff, ETC.
After the speaking they were invited to
barbecue which had been prepared for
them.

The York Meeting.

The Senatorial campaign meeting at
Yorkville was quite dramatic. Candi-
date Mayfeld made good his offer at
Chester that if he could not prove that
Senator McLanrin had tried to organize
. Populist party in South Carolina, he
would withdraw. He said he was now
convinced from proof Mr.. McLaurin
had given him, that McLaurin largely
prevented Populist organization in
South Carolina He said he had done
Senator McLaurin an injustice and
would Withdraw from the race. Senator
McLaurin shook his hand and thanked
him amid great applause.
Governor Evans said Senator Nc
Laurin Lad invited him to 60 into the
Populist party with him, and Mr.. May
fields acceptance of Senator McLaur-
ms statement put Congressman Strait
in false light, he having said Senator
McLaurin made overtures to him. Mr..
Msyfeld said he believed Senator
Mctaurin had worked against State
organization. During Senator Mo-
Laurin's speech Congressman Strait
gave his version and many insisted on
his sitting down. Senator McLsurin
said it wss bad enough to be persecuted
by three, and Strait had no business in
tsrmeddlIng.
Senator McLaurin spoke with such ve-
hemence that he tainted on concluding.
He was taken to his hotel and the doc.
tors insisted on his resting for q few
days. Messrs. Evans and McLaurin
showed much feeling toward each other.
Col. Irby was unable to attend the
meeting on account of an attack OF chol-
era morbls.
