The Alliance Gathering at Tirzah
Soon to be Held.

A few days ago one of those in
charge Of the annual Alliance en-
campment at Tlrzah said that this
year the gathering would be pure~

candidates will be invited and the
effort will be made to keep the
occasion entirely free from
politics. An invitation has been
extended to Secretary of Agri-
culture Wilson to address the
gathering on agricultural subjects.

accept. Other men of prominence

81 SO PER ANNUM
Hoyt's Hand Primary.

Col Hoyt took a hand primary
at Florence on Thursday. Here
is the story according to the News
and Courier and States campaign
reporter:
Col Hoyt was received with
cheering. He was forced to
omit discussion of other issues and
confne himself to the liquor ques>
tion, as his opponents had devoted
so much time to him.
Patterson interrupted Col Hoyt
once and the crowd cheered Hoyt.
Patterson had claimed that
nine tenths of the people drink
liquor. Col Hoyt disputed it.
Patterson-Take hand pri,
mary.
Hoyt-Why didn't you do it2
The colonel took hand pri-
mary to see how many in the
audience drank liquor. The nuns
ber of fists poked up was absurdly
small and the crowd howled for
Hoyt.
Hoyt then said that Patterson
had said that the crowd was sober
because the dispensary was closed.
The colonel pronounced this as a
slander on the people of Florence
and the crowd cheered again.
If prohibition is a farce, why
did Patterson advocate it in 1922
And does he support the dispen.
sary now because, as he says,
"the majority of the people favor
it9"
Col Hoyt read denunciation
of the dispensary written by the
Rev w r Richardson, of Colum-
bia, and when he came to a para.
graph where it was said that small
politicians use it to ride into office,
the crowd cheered again.

EDITOR AND MANAGER.
WEDNESDAY, July IS, 1900.

The Enquirer says that York
county returns 1,2S1 sheep and
goats and 2,O64 dogs. 1t Is likely
that hisproportion exists through
out the greater part Of the State.
And it is the existence of this fact
that has more than anything else
to do with keeping down the
sheep-raising industry in South
Carolina. With gang of idle
ours on every plantation and
farm, many of them of the worth
less, sheep-kllling kind, it is al,
most impossible to raise sheep.
Nearl y every negro owns a dog,
some of them several; and many
of the whites appears to be a
much attached to the yellow dog
as the negro is. Efforts have
been made time and again to pass
such dog law as to legislate the
miserable ours out of existence:
but the dreaded voter rises up in
his might and frightens the timid
legislator out Of his wits, and the
bill dies. 1t costs less to raise q
sheep than to keep a dog. The
State needs dog law, and in Or
der 10 get it she needs Legislators
who are not afraid to incur the
anger of the owners of the "yal>
ler' ours. -Greenville News.
And until we grow big enough
to elect legislators with sufficient
courage to offend yellow dog on
a proposition of common sense,
we cannot expect to see much i'm
provement in the situation. This
is fact.-Yorkville Enquirer.

House Sank Into the Earth.

Mr. John Cleary and family met
with a calamity Friday noon. If
had been raining furiously all day.
Mr. Cleary's house, two miles and
half west of town, stands i'm q
"bowl," the land around it rising
to rim. Into this bowl the rain
gathered, until it had formed
quite lake, and the water around
the house was foot deep. While
Mr. Cleary was busy drying the
head of his little boy, who had
been out in tie rain and water
resculng little chicks, he suddenly
heard a rumbling noise, and the
building shook. Surmising the
trouble, he shouted to his wife to
run for her life, as he believed the
building was sinking. He was
right in his surmise, and scarcely
had they cleared the building
when the earth began to sink, and
a moment later they would have
been carried down with the build
ing which went into a sink at
least fifty feet in depth. One end
OF the house caught on the edge
of the sink, the other portion and
all the household effects are
buried. Mr. Cleary looks upon
his house and effects as a complete
loss. This calamity is the more
depressing, as during the past
summer Mr. Cleary lost thirty
five head of hogs, fattened and
ready for the market, three head
of horses, and all of his cattle
that he had turned out on the
range. But Mr. Cleary is made
Of the right stuff, and takes the
situation philosophicalIy. He
says he is thankful life and health,
wife and baby are spared him,
and he will proceed to erect a
residence on the rim of the basin,
take hold of the plow, and begin
to make another crop.-Ocala

The State Campsigners at Marion

papo WHICH Ne uaVe yet met.
There are about 700 people in the
opera house and nearly all are
voters. Farmers, lawyers, store
keepers, all gathered to hear the
sea npaign of education." The
meeting was an orderly one. There
was little bluster between the
two Evanses.
Col. Hoyt was given hearty
reception. There is regular
prohibition organization in this
county, and Hoyt's chances are
tlattering. At the night meeting
at Florence Col. Hoyt received a
regular ovation.
The crowd had dwindled con
sidersbly when Gov McSweeney
opened the heavy artillery fire
after dinner, and he was thus at
a disadvantage. He referred with
sadness to the death of Gov Eller-
be. He had sympathized with
HIM in his illness and had deplored
his death. He seeks election on
his administration. He had re-
duced the constabnIary to proper
working basis, and had give them
orders to enforce the law fearless
ly but prudently. The law is now
better enforced in the counties of
the State and without bloodshed.
The dispensary is the best solu-
ton of the liquor question. He
was applauded when he said that
no man ought to be governor who
wouldn't take the papers and keep
posted. All that there is in the
charges is merely to get him out
of office to get somebody else in
1T. He read a letter from the
mayor of Anderson and of Orange
burg saying that the dispensary
law is enforced there. He had
done the best that he could with
the mayor of Charleston to get
him to make the police enforce
the law, and the constables are
doing all that they can. He was
applauded.
When Col. Hoyt advanced to
speak, he was warmly applauded.
The opera house had again filled.
He recited the record of methods
of controlling saleof liquor, de.
scribing how each experiment had
failed. The ,Tupper law to con.
fine sales to hotels was abused, az
was the local option confnine
sales to incorporated towns anG
cities. In 1892 the prohibition
Democrats won q victory of TO-.
600 majority, but the Roper bill
which passed the house was in the
senate changed to dispensary law.
In the original Law the people were
allowed to say whether or not
they wanted a dispensary. But
that prohibitive feature was
stricken out in less than six months
and it was left to boards of con
troll. Since then the mum Der has
increased. The Legislature ha,
for the past eight years withheld
from the people the right to vote
on this question. The victory OF
1892 will be repeated this fall.
(Applause.) The men who operate
the dispensary are not agreed a.
to how it must be operated. The
prohibitionists who voted for the
original dispensary law were as,
sured that it was but a step to-
ward an ultimate prohibition law.
1t is not function of government
to engage in this business. The
State may as well, in fact had
better engage in other lines of
business. No man who has been
engaged in it has been a promoter

90 anected ny hlgn license men.
He would listen to advice of dis
Greet men of all parties, but in
acting, he would be his own man.
(Applause.) Concluding, he said
he would let his three opponents
divide the minority of Marion be-
tween them. He sat down amid
applause.
Walt Whitman said he had
listened with patience to hear Col
Hoyt say he would enforce pro-
hibition if he should be 80 fortu-
nate and South Carolina so un-
fortunate as for him to be elected
governor. Col Hoyt is mighty
shy of quoting scripture since
Walt came into the camprign.
He told how Noah got drunk. He
was forced to abstain during the
flood while his vineyard was grow
ing and his wine making and when
dry weather came he tried to
drink it all. Open barrooms are
out of the question. Dlspensary
is failure. License is the proper
thing, for a man with license
will let no miserable blind tiger
operate in his neighborhood. He
would be back in Marion two
years from now. Laughter.) He
touched up the State colleges.
South Carolina is paying s25, 900
year to support that miserable
negro college at Orangeburg.
(Applause.) He would cause
rivers of blood to flow in enforc-
ing law and make it respectable
until some miserable little weak
ling would get in there. (Laughter)
Mr.. Gary said they were here
for the people to size them up.
McSweeney reads letters from
Orangeburg and Anderson shows
ing the enforcement of the law.
The dispensay is popular there.
Why not cite Charleston The
non-enforcement of law in Char
, lesion is the reason for Col Hoyt's
being in the race. He denied Col
Hoyt's statement at Florence that
the friends of the dlspensary law
have brought the State into
degradation and dirt. Where. is
the degradation Ladies' in Alb
bevllle can pass the dispensary
doors, but not so in barroom
times. Undar prohibition, blind
tigers were as common in Abbe
vile as pig tracks in East Ten>
nesses. He denied the statement
"sent out by little coterie at
Columbia which tries to direct the
politics of the State" to the effect
that he did not favor the dispen,
sary. He repeated his disavowal
OF injecting partisan politics into
the campaign. He had kept the
faith and had merely defended
himself. He wanted schools to
turn out trained intelligence to
operate cotton mills. Gov Nc
Sweeney occupies no higher place
in the race than his competitors,
for he is filling the unexpired
term of Gov Ellerbe. Some of
the governors friends published
an interview purporting to come
from Ben TilIman in which he
had named the ticket, saying that
all State officers would be re elect.
ed. He presented a letter from
Senator Tillmah to jim saying the
interview was fake. The house
of representatives had five times
put itself on record as appreciatlve
of his fairness and non partisan
public career. (Applause.)

RAN OFF AND LAUGHED.
Queer behavior of Those Who Were
Shocked by Lightning.

Those who fet an electric shock on
Hutchison's Island during the thunder
Storm day before yesterday. when the
pile-driver was struck by lightning, re-
counted the experience to their friends
yesterday. There was a psychological fea-
ture of the affair that was strange TO
chem, and so il was to those to whom
they told it.
We'll sir, said one young man, I'VE saw
no fash nor heard any report In fact,
none ofu knew thing until we were 100
yards from thepile-driver. We were stand
ing near il at the time it was struck,
but, speaking for myself, l did not re-
cover consciousness until was the dis
tance away that 1 mentioned
The same impulse. that of escape,
seemed to seize upon us all simultaneously
with the shock. We ran like the devil.
II couldn't have taken us long to cover
that 100 yards. but even eleven or twelve
seconds is a long while for a man to be
rushing about without having the slight
est control over his faculties. 1 was abb
solutely as insensibie as if l had been
under the influence of chloroform. 1t was
only when some instinct seemed to as
sure me that l was safe that I stopped,
though of any such assurance having
been transmitted to my brain 1 was as
ignorant as a babe"
Now that whole bunch seemed inspir-
ed by a wish to stop at the same time.
Then what do you suppose we all did?
Why. stood there like fools and laughed
and laughed as if the funniest Thing in the
world had happened. The best joke thai
was ever cracked wasn't in ii with that
one we were laughing about though just
what il was we didn't known. 1t was the
craziest gang you ever saw, standing
there like idiots and giving a lightning
bolt the merry ha-ha. Nobody knew what
had happened The fluid just seemed to
get into our system and have much the
same effect as liquor does on some whom
you have seen get laughing drunk"
The young mans story was repeated by
those TO whom he related il. It drew
counter stories of the strange pranks that
is sometimes played by lightning. One
Savannah man saw ii and went it a few
better, telling of an experience he had
once had over in Beaufort county. He
was driving with a darby, when a tree
along the road was struck just as they
were under it. The two did not recover
consciousness, the gentlemen declared, un.
I'll they were ten miles beyond the place
where the lightning struck. the mule hav-
ing continued on his journey as though
nothing had happened. No laughing was
INDUCED in however, on that occasion.
The condition of the mule was not stated
either though it is judged that the animal
did not allow It's brain TO indulge in any
gymnastics.
