Special to The State.
Charleston, June 21.-Hiber-
nlan hall was well flied when
County Chairman Thayer called
the meeting to order. All of the
candidates were On hand. The
audience was most responsive, ask
ing many questions, interrupting
nearly every speaker, distracting
attention occasionally but always
interested. The applause was
very we'll distributed, being ap-
preciatively given to all at the
proper places. All waited until
the gubernatorial candidates had
spoken when the crowd ut once
dwindled to small proportions.
Hey ward again had the crowd and
the flowers though no guberna-
rial candidate had any cause for
special complaint at the reception
given them At the conclusion
of Heyward's speech at nearly 8
O'Clock quite large number of
the audience left, but Messrs.
falbert aud Tillman had many left
to hear them.
TILLMAN ATTACKS TALBERT.
The feature of the meeting was
the merciless manner in which
Tillman went for Talbert and his
% years of Office holding. Col.
fillman was most sarcastically
effective and his arraignment of
Congress man TaIbert's record as
o public serYant was severe. J: He
held facts and figures in his hand,
quoted these in detail and accom-
plished telling piece of work.
He said Talbert was dead now. He
agaiu assailed him for not being
on duty at Washington where
Johnston alone remained at his
post. The only time Talbert was
ever at Washington, he said, ac-
cording to the record is on pay
day. Possibly, he added, Col.
'ralbert thinks he i. entitled to
this vacation because he is of no
use whatever at Washington. Tai
bert, he added, me ntioned having
favored the appropriation for
Charleston exposition but unfor
tunately every speech TaIbert
makes generally kills a bill. Re-
ferring to Col. raIbert's speech
tonight. he said, "Johnny Low
low never in his palmlest days
equalled such performance
At the conclusion of Col. Till
mans speech Col. Talbsrt, amid
some confusion incident tn de
parting crowd, made brief state
ment, replying to this very severe
aud sarcastic attack upon his eff
cial record
Most of the speeches differed
very slightly from what has been
previously reported and the last
speakers after gubernatorial can
didates talked toa very small audi
ence.

erly dicussing to day The politi-
cal significance of the appearance
of Mr.. Cleveland and ex-senator
Hill at the Tilden Democratic
Club and the apparent cordiality
and good feeling existing between
the two foremost Democrats in the
East.
1t is regarded as significant that
Mr.. Cleveland should have chosen
to break his silence at this time.
Mr.. Cleveiand's attitude toward
Mr.. Hill was in marked contrast
to the reception which he accord
ed John G. Sheehan, foremost in
the affairs of the Greater New
Democracy, for whom, by the
way, he has not entertained a
friendly spirit for It score of
years, the estrangement datin.
back to the time when Mr.. Cleve-
land WAS mayor of Buffalo.
Some prominent Democrats de
clared that if Cleveland and Hill
could be run on the Democratic
ticket the party would score an
overwhelming victory in the next
presidential campaign. There is,
however, little hope Of such an
alliance ever being made. Even
if Hill wonid consent to take
second place on the ticket, the
fact that both candidates are East
ern men would prevent their nom.

Chairman Flank Campbell, of
the Democratic State committee,
glowed with enthusiasm
"Why," said he, 81 have never
known the Democratic party to he
so harmonious in the last ten years.
10 just so because we have made
up our minds to treat everybody
right. That's the spirit. We're

fighting among ourselves, and
now we're gong TO present solid
front and move in one compact

Elliott deserted rivers and har>

Hemphill was we'll received and

Great is Memphis" says the Mem

mark that even the Memphians would
be astonished il the census were taken
now and they were shown. how much
the population had increased in the
last two years" There is no doubt of
the truth of all this. Centrally located
at the heart of the richest valley of the
world, with all railroads seeking it's
railroad bridge across the Father of
Waters, Memphis has great future
before it. 1t is to be great CONNER

The two counties were not far apart
in 1900, and as sure as fate Shelby
county will have to play second fiddle
to Jefferson county in 1910. The diff

about $1,000, and Jefferson county will
give a good bond that any such dis

News is with the present rate o.

Jefferson county stands ready to line

TO SUPPRESS LYNCH LAW.

From the Boston Transcript.
BY striking not at the lynchers, but at
the officers, especially the judges,
sheriffs and district attorneys within
whose jurisdictions lynchings occur Gov
ernor Savers of Texas hopes to put an
end to the progressive horrors in his
state. He will, 1t is stated. urge the pas
sage of law holding accountable any
county or district official who through
neglect, incompetence or sympathy with
the mob allows prisoners to be taken and
lynched. The most disquieting feature
of recent lynchings in Texas has been
timely outside aid for fear Of offending
the mob. While one must admire the
courageous stand taken by Governor
Sayers and his repeated attempts to stop
lynchings, 1t is difficult to b4heve that
he has discovered an effectual remedy.
What deterrent penalty can be attached
to the law he proposes, and how shall It
be enforced? Even to prove culpable
negligence on the part of officials will be
an exceedingly difficult if not impossible
matter In communities where officials,
including the judges, are elected by the
supporters of lynch law. Yet such legis-
lation has distinct value, If It be no
other than that the discussion 1t pro-
vokes helps to educate people in the right
direction. Only by the slow process OF
molding decent public sentiment can
these southern outrages be stopped, and
Governor Sayers' efforts tend in that di-

CRIME IN MONROE.
from the Selma Times.

From the Selma Times
The sheriff of Monroe county is quoted
as saying that there have been twenty
two homicides in his county in the past
six months
We thought Dallas was bad enough,
with so many negroes butchering each
other on the big black belt plantations,
but Monroe goes ahead of us In the way
of homicides. Dallas rarely ever goes
over about twenty-five in twelve months,
and here is Monroe, with just about half
our population, running up to twenty-five
in six months. We are really afraid that
and have to play second fiddle to Monroe
county in this respect.
1t is painful for a Dallas county editor
to have to acknowledge that his county
is backward in any product but in the
matter of homicides during the past six
months Monroe is ahead of us. In fact,
the county Of Monroe can wear the blue
ribbon. SO far as murders are concerned.
Well, If she is proud of her reputation
along that line she is welcome to her lau-
rels. Dallas takes back seat gladly in
this matter and while we cannot help
twitting Monroe, sincerely hope that a
stop will be put to so many killings in
Alabama. We profess to live In the most
enlightened section of the globe, In the
most progressive era of civilization that
the world ever saw, and yet we doubt IL
there is single section In darkest At
RIGA of the same area as Monroe county
that can boast of az many murders in the
same length of time barring times Of
tribal wars.
The better element of the people should
arouse themselves. A few judicious
hangings would do great deal toward
stopping these murders. We do not mean
hang a few coons, for hanging a negro
does not produce much more effect than
that of dog in this country. but a hemp
stretching by a white man or two, men
who boast of their standing in a commu-
nifty, would have very wholesome effect.

charges the grand jury, strains his lungs

squirrel is a novelty In many parts OF
the state.
Many people ridicule the ground hog
theory of cold weather. but have great

coon IS always a good prophet. Let either
animal go into his hole early In the WIN
ter and stay there, then look out for cold
weather. The coon is lively animal. and
II the weather is mild he is likely to be

When 1 first came to Grant county the
most successful coon hunter was a man
named Overholtz. He never went out that
he did not return with game. while many
of his neighbors would be unsuccessful
after spending nights in the woods. He
finally told me the secret of his success.
He had two or three pet coons. When
they were lively he know the wild ones
were also moving around and he went
after them. When his coons went into
their holes he did not venture out, know

RetaIiatory Tariff Measures.

TIigh-tariffism finds ample illustra

any country Is discriminating against

The agrarians or land owners in
