those entertainments which will be

Hampton on the Future.

General Hampton has very decided
views on the political situation of the
present time, and is an ardent Cleve.
land Democrat. say the Salt Lake
Herald He is a typical southern
gentleman, and says that the present
unhappy business and financial state
of the country. if not checked, may
ultimately lead to political separa
ton of the west from the east, or in
other words. the west may secede.
The salvation of the Union, the gen
eral says, depends on the south The
southern people are the only homo
geneous people on this continent.
They are native.born Americans, who
love America and are not controlled
by foreign nationalities, like New
York is by the Irish, and other places
by Germans aud other nationalities
who cling to the land of their nativ-
ity rather than to the country where
they live
General Hampton believes in re-
stricting immigration and is very in
dignant at the idea of making this
country a dumping ground for the
refuse of Europe He says even the
Republican leaders realize the danger
to American institutions from this
class of citizens, and he is of the
opinion that no foreigner should be
allowed to vote until be has resided
in the United States 21 years
Referring to the dissatisfaction and
unrest which characterize the present
times, the general said that the
trusts and exorbitant tariff had ere.
ated great dissatisfaction A large
portion Of the country has been i'm
posed upon. and in California threats
or secession have been made. The
time is coming when the west will
have greater population than the
east, and it will be hard, he says, to
keep SO large a country together il
the feeling of discomfort continues to
increase.
81 don't think, however, said the
general, there is any danger OF
trouble now Cotton mills are going
south, and the number of mills are
increasing wonderfully. Although
there has been systematic discrimi-
nation on the part of congress
against the west and south, we are
trying to forge along and bear the
burden without complaint. The re
movaI of the manufacturing suprem
acy Of the east to the south may be
one of the means by which the coun

Great Interest in the Original

To ordor to be on hand at 10 CLOCK this
morning, at which the hearing is set
to take place. all the attorneys inter

The Dingley Bill Be-
comes a Law.
P1llman Votes May" Without His
Vote the Bill Passes by Ma
jorify Of 10 Though Several
Senators Retained
From Voting

Washington, July 24-The tariff
bill passed it's last legislative stage
at 8 D NJ. to-day when the senate,
by the decisive vote of 40 to 30,
agreed to the conference report on
the bill
The announcement of the result
was greeted with enthusiastice ap,
plause by the crowded chamber.
This closed the great labor for which
the Fifty. fifth congress assembled in
extraordinary session. and after stub
born resistance, at times threatening
deadlock, the senate coneurred
with the house in resolution .or the
final adjournment of the session at 9
O'Clock to night The Presidents
message for a currency commission
was received, but the house bill
creating the commission was not ac-
ted upon The closing day was
prolific of a series of momertous
scenes, each of which alone would
have been of extraordinary interest.
An analysis of the vote shows that
the affirmative vote was cast by 81
Republicans, one Democrat Nc
Enery), one silver Republican Jones
of Nevada, and one Populist
Stewart
The negative vote was cast by %
Democrats aud two Populists { Harris
and Turner). Mr.. Teller, silver
Republican. and two Populist (Allen
and ButIer)we-e present and did not
vote. One Populist (Kyle), and one
silver Republican (Pettigrew) were
absent without pairs. which was
equivalent to Withholding their votes.
Although the result was a foregone
conclusion, yet this did not abate the
eager interests attaching to the close
of great contest.
Early in the day the debate was
listless, though enlivened at times
with virulent criticisms by Mr.. Allen
and by speech from Mr.. Burrows
Of the finance committee. Messrs
Cafery, Morgan and Stewart occupi-
ed the time up to 8 o'clock. when
the vote was promptly taken Then
came a long parliamentary battle
over final adjournment. The opposl'
tion endeavoredfto score point by
compelling vote on laying the Pres
ident's message before the senate
and succeeding in this, attacked the
majority for refusing to act on the
Presidents recommendation The
main desire of those opposing ad-
journment was to secure vote on
the Harris resolution calling on the
President to stop the sale of the gov
ernment interests in the Union Pa
ci6c railroad. For four hours an &C
rimonious parliamentary contest was
waged Gradually the tactics OF the
opposition we're overcome and short
ly before o'clock Mr.. Morgan with.
drew further opposition ard the reso.
luton for. 6nal adjournment was
nasSed.

that separate acconot he kept Of these

expenses.
We dpd that the stock Of bottles on
hand l amounted to SAG. 600. We re-
commend that the board do not pu.-
cbase any more new bottles We are
informed that the dispeusary can be
supplied With bottles purchased in the
State by local dispensers at much less
cost than from the manufactures, This
will effect saving to the State and
keep money at home.
We find that the average stock car
ried by the State dispepsary is about
100000 and in the county dispen-
saries it is about $780, 600. we sug-
gest the advisability of material de
crease 10 the above amount and
we further suggest that the amount OF
stock carried by the local dispeusaries
be limited according to the amount OF
business done by them
We further suggest that the State
board of control consider the propriety
of reducing the price Of suoh liquors as
have been on hand aud proved unsala,
bic. We are Informed that the board OF
control are carrying about S100, 600 ir-
surance upoo the stock Of goods in the
State dispensary. which, in our opinion,
is sufficient. Respectfully submitted.

About $4,000 a year have been
saved bv the State of Virginia
through reform in regulating crimi-
nal expenses. One change which re-
suits in a large saving is that which
provides that convicts sentenced to
the penitentiary shall be sent for by
the authorities of that institution.

Senatorial CampaIgners Now
Go TO the Up.Country.

Sixteen OF the ~ senatorial cam
paign meetings have been held and
there are yet "a to take place. The
campaign has rocked along uow for
three weeks and there has been moth
iUg Ct very startling character about
the speeches which have been made by
the various candidates. The features
Of the campaign SO far have been the
attacks 90 Mr.. McLauriu's views aud
the criticisms of Governor Ellerbe.
So far as the results of the compagin
are coscerned, it would be very diff
cult for any one to attempt an express
ion of opiuop. So far as one Gao see,
the speaking does pot seem to be chang
ing many votes Que way OF the other.
Perhaps some have been changed. but
the attendance at the meetings has
been 80 small that the sentiment ex-
pressed threat cannot be taken as indi
catiye of how any county is going
Up TO the present, MIR. John Den
can has appeared a: only meetlng-tbe
Columbia meeting-and it is not
thought that be will appear at any Of
the meetings this week on account OF
the illness of his wife. It is even ru
mored very generally that be intends 10
withdraw from the race This would
leave four men 10 the field.
To-day the campaign starts IN the
Piedmont section aud the candidates
will remaio ie that section until all the
counties therein have been visited. Il
is generally expected that the meetings
this week will be Of a more interesting
character thao these yet bold In the
6sss place, there is Govornor Eilerbes
request to Mr. Mayfeld to produce his
proof that be mas been guilty OF dou-
Die dealing 10 the matter Of the me.ropol-
itan police. Since Governor Ellerbe
came out with his request Mr.. May
field has not had the opportunity to re-
ply aud produce the prof be announced
that be had, there being no campaign
meeting on Saturday. If he produces
the proof to-day 10 is expected tba.
the whole metropolitan police matter will
be opened up once more. Since the
campaign began the candidates have
been threshing over old straw each day.
It is thought upon entering the up
country something new might be To-
troduced. Again there is Mr.. May
fields veteran letter. which has just
been brought to public attention.
Senator McLaurio came into Colum-
bia on Friday last threatened With case
Of fever. He has been the guest here Of
his friend, Capt. j K. Aston, and
has been resisting easy under medical
advice. He was very much improved
yesterday, and stated that he would be
at to-day's meeting at Union. He
hopes to be able to 60 through the CO.
tire campaign.
The meeting to morrow will be at
Spa.tanburg Then comes Cherokee
aud Gree eoviIle in the order named, the
concluding meeting Of the week being
at Pickens on Saturday next. On
Aug. Il. the party will 6oish the up
per tier of counties aud then on the
18th they will enter the Poe Dee Sec
ton aud work through the several
counties iu that section. finishing the
camgaign on Aug. IS. at Florence.
The primary will be held two days
later The State, July 26.
