Geo. D. Tillman for Governor.

COLUMBIA, Dec. 19.-It looks very
much as if "Uncle' George D. Till
man is going to be in the race for
Governor next summer. I was told
positively a few days ago that he had
decided to run.> The rumor to this
effect has been going the rounds con-
stantly for several days, and great
many have been inquiring as to what
truth there was in it. Taking every
thing that can be heard into consider
alton it looks very much at this time
as if he is going to be u candidate,
and that he will run upon an anti
dispensary platform, if the dispensary
withstands the coming session of the
General Assembly. Col. James H..
Tillman, Of the Edge6eld Bar, who is
here in attendance upon the State
Supreme Court, was approached to-
day. His attention was called to the
rumor about the candidacy of his
father, and he was asked if it were
true that he had determined to oppose
Governor Ellerbe in the approaching
election In reply to my question he
said: 81 am unwilling to make any
announcement as to my fathers intent
in politics, as he always does his own
talking in his own way and in his own
time, but to be candid | tell you
frankly [ am unable to map out just
what he will do. | do know that he
is very much opposed ever to permit
his name to be again used in conncc
tion with a political Office. | know
also that he is daily receiving letters
from all over the State beseeching him
to make the race for Governor. [
cannot tell you what his decision will
be, but there is this much certain,
Governor Ellerbc will meet a deter
mined opposition.
It was called to Col. Tillman at
tention that there was considerable
talk to the effect that his father was
too old to make vigorous campaign.
He replied with laugh: My father
has constitution of iron, and, though
20 years old, his mind is as clear as it
ever was, and he enjoys better health
than | do myself. y
This is all the light that can be
thrown on the E1-Congrcssman' S
prospective candidacy just at this
time, but as said above it looks very
much as if he has determined to enter
the racc-Nems and Courier.

May Go to a Vote.

AS the time draws nearerfor the as
sembling of the State Legislature IN
annual session the various members
of the General Assembly who happen
in the capitol city are discussing more
generally the liquor situation: One
cannot but be surprised at the drift Of
all their remarks. It may be summed
up in the statement that they do not
know exactly what is best to be done:
So far none of them have been heard
to suggest any material changes in the
dispensary law. In fact. taking the
liquor question as whole, they all
seem to be entirely at sea.
In qhe last few days there has been
considerable talk about turning the
whole business over 20 the people to
settle at the ballot box. In other
words to leave the liquor problem to a
general election and let the people go
to the ballot box expressing their
preference D for dispensary, (2) for
prohibition, and (3) for high license
under the constitutional restrictions,
the General Assembly abiding the re-
suit. A prominent State Senator a
few days ago said that this was the
only way he saw of settling the mat
ter to the satisfaction Of the people as
whole. The dispcnsary advocates
claim that the mass of the people
want the dispensary as it is, Q. p. OF
no o. p. thrown in; the same thing is
true Of the prohibitionists as to their
system of control, and the high Ii
cense people believe that the people
of the State will vote down both the
dispensary and prohibition.
1t does not appear that it is going
to be an easy undertaking, either, to
devise way of getting at the o. p.
business within the United States
law. If high license is imposed up,
on the o. p. agencies the United
States law will require that it be also
imposed upon the dispensaries, and
then will come in an act of the South
Carolina Supreme Court which pre-
vents the State from licensing its own
agents. Some have suggested the
plan of putting the o. p. agencies on
the same basis as dispensaries-undel
the control Of the County boards Of
control in all respects, requiring them
to make reports as dispensers have to
do, and also requiring them to sell at
the same prices as dispensers. The
trouble about this is that the State
dispensary has to make about 30 per
cent. on the liquor before it goes to
the local dispensers; then the addi-
tional profit must be made there in
the retail sale. This, it is easily
seen, would mean handsome profit
to the 0. p. manufacturer, who would
not have to provide for profit No. 1.
It is a serious question that con
fronts the General Assembly: at pres
ent it is absolutely impossible to fore
tell what course will be pursued
The State.

A Double Hanging in Georgia.

ATLANTA, GA, December l77.-Bud
Brooks and Grady Reynolds, who to-
gether murdered merchant NJ G. Hunt,
of Belton, Ga, were taken from the
County jail at Jefferson to-day and
privately hanged on hill few yards
distant. Both made statements from
the gallows. The drop fell at 12.17.
Both men died on the same gallows.
The executions were remarkable in
many respects. After the ride to the
gallows, distance of half mile, they
were robed in white and permitted to
speak to the throng of one thousand
people who packed around the gallows
enclousre. On the gallows the two
men held brief conversation, each
inquiring after the others spiritual
condition. Among the twenty men
who saw the execution were the three
brothers of the murdered man. The
crime for which Grady Reynolds and
Bud Brooks were executed at Jcffcr
son to-day was the murder Of NJ. c.
Hunt, prominent merchant of Bel
ton, Ga. Robbery was the motive.
Brooks and Reynolds were white
moonshiners, and had made great
deal of money. Thc ease with which
they made it led them to hatch the
conspiracy by which they could Sc
cure twelve hundred dollars, known to
have been in the possession of Hunt
1t was just before the Corbett-Fitz
simmons fight in Nevada when The
murder was planned. Reynolds ne
gotiated with Hunt for the purchase
of his stock Of goods When the trade
was consumnatcd Reynolds told Hunt
that the money was in the Bank at
Harmony Grove, and invited him to
ride to that place with him, distance
of twelve miles. Midway between the
towns, at creek, Brooks met the
pair. and the two committed the muir
der, robbed their victim Of the money
in his possession and buried the body
in the water Reynolds returned to
Bolton, displayed forged bill of sale,
took possession of the store and sold
the stock below cost. This reckless
procedure aroused suspicion. Rey-
nolds explained in the meantime,
however, that Hunt had gone to Car
son to see the fight. Hunts brothers,
from South Carolina, were not salts
fed with this statement and had Rey-
nolds arrested He confessed to the
murder and implicated Brooks, who
had escaped to South Carolina. bat
was arrested few days afterwards.

The South has SO many advantages
over New England that this country
will soon be the manufacturing centre
Of the United States, and the New Eng
land mills will be driven to the South.
When it costs 6 cents in New England
to produce an article which can be
made here in the South for one-third
less, New England mills have nothing
else left to them except either to go
out Of business or move to the South.
The crisis has already been reached up
there, and on the lst January the
New England manufacturers will try
cutting the wages Of labor 10 per cent.
But in order to meet Southern compe-
tition It is estimated that cut of %
per cent. must be made. Even this
would not help matters much, because
the laborers have to live, and it costs
more to live in New England than in
the South. The operatives with a
continual reduction of wages would
kick, and this would lead to strike.
