city and received with the grandest, the
most imposing and solemn ceremonies,
st. Philips churchyard was at once dc
slgnated as the temporary resting
place. There were two reasons for this
selection. First, the close, historic
connection OF the church with the COM
monwealth Of which Calhoun was the
greatest product and, second, there
was peculiar fitness in the circum-
stances that Bishop Gadsden, the rec
tor of st. Philips, had been a classmate
OF the great man at Yale College,"
During tho war the remains were
moved and secreted in the eastern
churchyard and taken back to their
original resting place in the west
ern cemetery in 1884. The wealth of
memories boarded by the old church
yard and the church may bo apprecia-
ted from tho following extract:
'Of the dignitaries of the church in
the line of the episcopate there lie
around her hallowedi walls two commits
sarles OF the bishop of London, three
bishops of the American church, and
seven ministers who had served at her
alter. OF chief magistrates, two colo
NAL and three State governors are bu.
RED within her precincts, besides num-
bering among her worshippers two
other colonial and four other State
governors who are buried elsewhere.
Six colonial chief Justices worshipped
in her sanctuary, four Of whom are bu.
ried in her cemetery. Two presidents
Of the Continental Congress and two
signers OF the Declaration Of Independ-
ence were reared in this church, one
OF tho signers resting near her walls.
Ambassadors and ministers have gone
from her to foreign lands, and members
of Congress have been again and again
chosen from her members. Soldiers of
all the wars in which South Carolina,
province and State, has beon engaged
lie within her gates. And there also
are to be found the graves of men OF
science"

Some Rare Bargains

arrests or seizures in any town or city
where there are municipal police.
They must do their work entirely in
the country districts and few will be
required for that work. The police will
even bo expected to watch the railroad
stations, where hitherto large part
OF tho work of the constables has been
done.
Governor Ellorbe did not say what
he would do in case the municipal
authorities Of any town or city failed
to enforce the dispensary law to his
satisfaction. He did not say whether
withholding of profits or putting
on OF metropolitan police would be the
punishment He said he preferred not
to mako and threats, but would trust
tho municipal authorities to do their
whole duty.
Governor Ellcrbe said the constab-
nlary forco cost $52, ,036.66 last year,
and this expense would be practically
wiped out by the adoption Of his new
policy. He further thought the dis
pcnsary law would be better enforced,
provided tho municipal authorities
would cooperate with him. He gave
II months notice Of his intended action
IN order to give the constables o chance
TO hunt for other Jobs.

He Believes the Great Majority of the
People OF this State Endorse the
Principles Advocated by Him. and
arc Opposed 10 tho Tariff Views of
Tillmnn and NIcLnurin.
Ex-Governor John Gary Evans was
in Columbia when the returns came to
hand, and when asked for an cXprcs-
sion OF opinion about tho general re-
suit, he said:
VI entered this race reluctantly,
after being assured by my friends that
the chances for winning were re-
mote, but ! decided, after hearing Mr..
McLaurin's speech at Sumter, and
upon the defiance OF my enemies to
make iight-nOt on any factiOnal or
sectional lines, but upon the platform Of
the Democratic party, and to fight for
these principles, which have always
been dear to every South Carolinaiau
and upon which alone rests our pros
pcrity. | have been much gratiiicd by
the manner in which my speeches have
been received throughout the State,
and have received the commcndation
OF many OF my bittcrcst political enc,
mics.
"rhc great ajority of the people OF
South Carolina believe in tho princi-
pies advocated by me, and arc opposed
to the attitude OF both Tillman and
McLaurin in the United States Senate
Under the lash Of the conservative
press, their followers have voted with
out regard to principles, being actuatcd
moro by Il desire, as they termed IT,
to destroy faCtiOnaliSm in our local
politics. An inspection Of the vote
shows that not % per cent. OF the farm
crs OF the State have voted, and not
half the Democratic vote Of the State
Inc cause Of this was the disgust on
the part of the Rcformcrs with the
present State administration, and it's
deals and chickering's with mon who
have always been their enemies.
Added to this was Senator Tillman's 3
advocacy OF McLaurin's tariff views
and his assertion that McLaurin was
with him." and and tho defeat of the
one meant the defeat OF the other.
Naturally, our friends were ut sea, and
they remained at home, refusing to
vote against their honest conviction,
but, at the same time, fearing that an
injury might be done Senator Tillman,
who has posed rs Il reform loader, but
has never led when Il crisis was on
hand. | had expected an honest and
honorable fight but regret to say that
such was not the case during the last
four days OF the campaign. slandcroue

McLAURIN ON THE RESULT.

The Democrats Have Put Aside Fac
tional FcclinG-His Tariff Views EN-
dorscd by the People.
The following expression from Sen
atOr McLaurin was sent to the Atlanta

In response to your request will
say that am Of course, deeply CRATE.
full to the people OF South Carolina for
this marked evidence Of their conli.
| dcnCc and esteem. No man could
have this feeling moro sincerely than
| |. The result is particularly crafty,
ing in view Of the character OF tho
| light that has been made up0n me and
OF the serious Illness which has pre-
vented my participating in tho cam
| paigning during the past three weeks.
It is needless for me to add that in my
future service in the Senate as in nv
six years Of service in tho lower house
OF Congress, my entire energies shall
be devoted to the welfare OF my State,
for God knows every throb OF my heart
has been for South Carolina and for
that which | believe to be tho good Of
her people.
AS to the meaning of my endorse
rncnt at the hands Of the people | can
say that during this campaign my APP
peal has been to the intelligence, the
honor and the reason OF the people.
While my opponents have appealed to
VC"ythlng in human nature that is
Ow, base and mean, the result shows
that there is moro OF intelligence, vir-
tue and honesty in South CnrOlina than
there is uf Ignorance and prejudice.
IT is, too, an Endorsement by the
people Of the State OF the Democratic
| principle OF tarill for revenue. The
efforts on the part OF my opponents to
misrcprescnt my position on tho tariff
question may have been successful in
some individual Instances, but for the
| most part the people have understood
that my stand has been squarcly upo n
the Democratic platform, and that my
votes in trying to amend the Dingley
bill were cast in defense OF tho people
whom | represent and to compel the
Republican party to place the South rs
nearly rs possible upon an equal foot
ing with the balance OF the country.
They have indorsed my record in 80
voting, rs | knew they would. for the
principle which inspired those votes
was the true Democratic principle Of
equality.
With regard to internal affairs in
South Carolina | regard the result Of
tiilS ~
the end OF faCtiOnal feeling in the
State. A new political era has dawned
on the State. Up to this time for the
past six years the elections, State,
county, municipal, from county cor.
oner up, have only been question as
to the man who could shout the loudest
for the Reform faction and for Tillman
| do not mean to say anything against
Senator Tillman or to impugn the mo
tivcs OF the men who have been call
ing for reform, but | believe the time
has come when something else Is re
qnrcd Of public men for aspirants 70,
oiiice generally. The decision OF tn,
people from this time forward is goin,
to be based on tho ability and the char
actcr of the man and the doctrine an,
principles ne advocates. That is on
meaning Of the result of this primar
and SO far as South Carolina in cor
cerned 1t Is by no means the least.

GOVERNOR WILLIAM TRYON.
Forgotten Facts OF History Which
Are Very Interesting.

The Augusta Chronicle, in response
to request from North Carolina,
gives the facts about legend con-
corning colonial governor of North
Carolina, from whom Tryon mountain
and village receive their name.
William Tryon was born in ireland
In l725, and after receiving military
education, served with distinction in
the British army. He married q re-
lative of tho secretary of state for the
colonies, and was sent to North Caro-
lima in l764 rs lieutenant governor, the
governor Arthur Dobbs) being stricken
In years. In 1765 he died, and Tryon
became governor. Governor Tryon
was q soldier and O politician. He
ruled with the despotism of the soldier,
but whom he saw 1t was impossible to
do rs he would, he had the effusive
Establishments Of the politician, and
flattored mon into doing what he de-
sired SO that the anomaly was pre-
sented OF O hated governor, who was
| open y confronted and defied by his
people, but who soon after was living
In a palace builded by an appropria-
tion Of $4,000 voted by the legisla-
was pronounced the finest building in
America at the time, and distin-
guished visitor from South Carolina
declared that in the land of palaces
they had nothing that would equal
1t. This palace was located at New
bern, and, prior to that, Governor
Iryon had resided at Wilmington, so
tnat ne probably mover saw the locality
Wh1ch now perpetuates his name.
But Wheeler's History of North
Carolina tells US that tho present
counties OF Polk, Rutherford, Cleve-
land and Lincoln were originally all
contained in Meek lenb burg county.
After the turmoil between Governor
Iryon and the people during the effort
TO enact the stamp act, and when the
governors proclamation was published
announcing that parliament had re-
pealed the 0diOus act the people were
o 80 rcjoiccd that they not only appro-
l. priated 5000 pounds sterling for the
erection Of palace for the royal COVER
nor, but they cut county OUT OF NECK
j. lenburg and named it Tryon. This
= was in the fall Of 1866. In l770 they
+ attempted to ciface his memory by
: cutting [.l Tryon county into Rutherford
and Lincoln counties. Since then tho
h. counties Of Cleveland and Polk have
5 been cut from these two. Probably
during tho existence OF Tryon county
, (which embraced Polk county, where
J Tryon Is locateD the mountain re-
IGcivod its name, ana 1t stuck, though
the county namo was changed.
The battle Of Alamanco was fought,
and the contentious between the Re-
gulators and the government all oc-
Cured during the administration of
Governor Try0n, and it was his cruelty
to prisoners that so embittered the
people against him. In 177l he was
appointed governor Of New York,
whore his cruclties and unp0pularity
were continued. He returned to
Elgland in IT'S, and rose to the rank
Of lieutenant general before his death
in London in 1888. Josiah Martin. who
succeeded him as governor o. North
Carolina, was the last Of tho royal
governors.

and all-round justice clash and jar IN per-
petual conflict However often prophets OF

alarm one thing IS sure that MUCK OF this

and higher education.
