When we reached the main current l
found that the water was level with
the gunwales of the boat and that q
little water was pouring in. No alarm
was given and not q a spoke or a
horse moved, which no doubt saved us
from going under.
Arriving safely in camp, we commence
ed preparations to move, and every
thing being ready in about four days,
we moved out to meet several hundred
other men and take up the march for
LecomptOn. On the first days march,
after going into camp, we learned that
several hundred men were advancing
upon our camp and one hundred men
were called out to meet them, General
zones in command. We soon dis.
covered that 1T was q false alarm. Re-
turning, we lost one man, a Missourian,
who was accidently shot. We sent his
body back to Delaware for burial, and
as he was a poor man, a purse of
several dollars was raised for the fun
eral expenses aud the family.

a state of great alarm and sent a runner
to our camp all through the night, say
ing that the town would be attacked
before morning. General Jones be-
came annoyed by these appeals and
told the messenger to go back and "Tell
the people to fight it they ale attacked"
Next morning we crossed the river in
to LecOmpton and marched towards
Lawrence, within five or six miles of
that town, where We went into camp
again. We sent a spy into the town
to find out the condition of aft airs and
in the night he reported that we would
be attacked before morning, as they
were preparing then to advance on us.
Fortunately, there came up a terrific
wind and ain storm, which blew down
our tents and delayed their advance.
AS we had failed to receive the ex-
pected reinforcements, we fell back to
Lecompton. We had not been there

news that Lane was advancing with a

den Smith, of Michigan, illustrating
the valne of honesty in politics, told a
story the other day of an old governor
OF Michigan, who became a candidate
on condition that he should not be
asked to make speeches. An occasion
arose. however, when the regular ora
tors were absent from a meeting, and
the crowd insisted on hearing from the
candidate himself. He walked to the
front and bravely announced that he
was no speaker, with considerable rep
etition, and after q little hating pro.
ceeded to talk for three quarters of an
hour. When the meeting was over the
candidate had quite come to the con
clusion that he was a speaker after all,
and especially did he feel so when an
old farmer came up to him to say that,
although a lifelong Democrat, he had
decided as a result of what he had
heard, to vote this time for the Repub-
lican candidate. Before the latter, in
his blushes, could stammer out q re-

we want as governor is honest men.

To know Governor Evans has been
to appreciate his Ane qualities. his

He carried this county by large major
tiles for governor and senator. and he
will carry 1t this year by q much larR-

almost be said that he will receive tho

ly be said to be any logic In politics
Governor Evans Ia nevertheless the
logical candidate to succeed MeLaurln,
by reason Of the vigorous and won
derfully prophetic fight he made on
the commercial statesman five years
ago. He then said McLaurin was u
republican, and that gentleman has
himself since proven the charge be
yond a doubt. Governor Evans was
not the only prophet in that line, how
ever, but he was the only man who
made a fight on McLaurin then who ia
now a candidate before the people aa
his successor. He evidently knows
a republican when he sees one. and
this Is some assurance. If any were
needed, that his own democracy ts

OF his candidacy. He has ever been
faithful to the trust reposed in him by
the democrats OF South Carolina, n
retains to the utmost tho respect and
confidence Of those who know him.
The yer fact that he has held the
support of those who were his political
associates In times when there were
sharp lines drawn between the faction
al amliations Of people and has
since the effacement OF those lines
drawn to himself the good will ano

he is best known, and is backed by

be a formidable factor In the race.
TiIIman Hands on.
In view of numerous reports about
this man N hat man being IT'LL
mans candidate" for the senate, a
statement made by Senator Tillman ia
Washington recently may prove OF In
terest to those watching South Caro-
lima politics.
There is really no reason why I
should mix up In this race" said Sen
ator Tillman, mo do l intend to take
the slightest part In It one way or the
other. 1t is true that before Dvaus
entered the race there was but one
candidate in the aeld. Representative
Latimer. who had not at one time op-
posed me. For this reason, thinking
to hurt Representative Latimers
chances for election, the report has
been circulated that I wal backing
Latimer. II Is untrue TO say that l
am backing any one Of the candidates.
Now that Mr.. Evans has definitely an
nounced his candidacy for the senate,
there will be two of my former sup.
porters In the race. Another reason
why 1 am not called upon to take a
hand.
but 1t should be remembered that
none Of the candidates in the race are
running for the senate against me.
They are after the Junior s%enatorship,
and because In the past the other can.

SOUTHERN HORTICULTURE.
Acting Chief Taylor Reports Upon
His Recent Trip.

The acting chief of the department
of horticulture, Frederick w. Taylor,
has returned to ST. Louis from trip
through several of the southern
states, taken in the interest of his
department. The chief reason of this
trip was that Mr.. Taylor might at
tend the meeting of the Georgia
State Horticultural Society in Macon
Mr.. Taylor reports that the attend
ance was excellent, and that the pa
pers and discussions were as high in
character as it has ever been his
pleasure to hear.
The secretary of the society placed
Mr.. Taylor's name on the program for
a paper on Georgia Horticultural
Products at the st. Louis Exposi
ton" The society is deeply inter
ested in the question of participation
by the state, and after the close OF
Mr.. Taylor's paper introduced and
unanimously passed a very strong
resolution recommending an appro-
priation and appointing a committee
from the State Agriculture Society tC
interview the legislature and assist
in bringing about the appropriation
of sufficient sum of money to dc
the work right.
Instead of coming direct home, Mr.
Taylor took occasion to visit Hunts
vile, Alabama. which is one of th'
greatest nursery centers in thu
United States. This visit was made
at the request of one of the mos
prominent nurserymen there, who il
not only interested in the subject o
general exhibits, but is anxious tt
participate by means of an OUTSIDE
cultivation. The entire horticulture
interests of the south seemed to b.
awake to the desirability of an ex
hibit at the Louisiana Purchase Elk
position, and if all signs do not fai
there will be the greatest fruit, flowe
and tree exhibit ever shown.
