^ eerned. As for {heaucier.ce, it did i
not seem to enthuse to any extent, a j
||j?g?||!f^ ir. was oiil7 every now and then lhat j
the hearers would applaud. |
It was curiagr Mr. Ms.} fifld's speech
and the repealed charger that Mr. McLvjrin
was a Populist at heart and
lhat he bad oiForsc to issjie a Populist
manifesto lhat Mr. ilayne'd said that
he would again repeat the charge,
now that Ccjc^nssini-n Strait was present.
Strait ana MoLvaiiii both jumped >
up at the same titr.c and Strain said to j
MoLaurin to make irs statement.
2?r. McLaurin said that m ] \
there were three or four parties favor- \
icg the *"ree coinage of silver, and that j
it was his intention, v?ith others, to i
irv aid get all of these forces tcgeth j
fe er: that Til]mac, Br; an and other j
R leaders attended conferences to try j
?& ard get the free silveriics, the Pop a j
jP lists the silver Republicans and silver j
W Democrats together, aad that it was I
il->r>e? ?at/>oc V.0 Stic-io tn opt r>rm I
centrated a: ore c: these conferences, j
*rd an address was issued, and be, |
. Brjan and others signed it, andtha"'
he got members or' the Souih Carolina |
delegation to sign it. At one of these \
_ conferences to get all the silver forces I
together he rr.ade a speech and s*id :
thit in Souih Carolina everything \
wss all rjght and there was no need j
in bis State for a Populist narty. j
V?hat he wanted was lo secure the?
ek ciion of Bryan, ar d in the cam-1
paign the free silver Republicans, j
Populists and all worked for Bryan, j
Tbs*t was his sole purpose in advising j
V WUlUiU?WU Ui J w V/W u: v/i Juiug j
what he did. As for South Carolina,
everything the free silver people could
want was io be had in the Democratic j
cr?anizition and that wasgocd encash jj
L for him.
|L Dr. Strait said he hsd hoped not to \
be dravrn into the iCiiti^r, but would \
ss7 ibat the adciress ?Lr. ^a.cijau^ia j
spoke cf rs.d nothirg to do ^ith the S
address spoken of to him and Taloert. j
When thej were se&.ted together, Mr.
MeLaurin came up to tbem ard said:
llTaibert, I war.t you ar.d Strait to so
L in with me ia the Populist party. The
81^ time is ripe, the current is high ai:a
th?. sea coming in.
Mr. McLsuric?Dr. Strait, you cer-;
taicly misunderstand the teacr of j
what I ssid. It vrcuid be remarkable, ]
indeed, if I were to go up to you and j
make such a bo:d statement in such j
an off har d way.

ber- ai d Strait s^'ov? the iices of a:
Lurries of the soulh kx.s w?st ss inciea- i
led. He said ie had favored to them ?
aa ainaJgatica of lie silver forces-hiiLi
he never proposed a Populist party or ?
joining it. He said that Borden hsd \
liuiseci him 3ike a vrcman. when h;s?
wife Tras a3so sick, ar;d Lhat v?biie he >
v?zs recuwratiEg he begged 3nd plead j
Bcrcden arc had him to cob nee |
his fight tc the national ek-ctcrs, al-j
though it was Borden's intention to?
t run a State ticket, acd that ifc -was \
v orsly by hard vrcrk that be had scared |
the State such a fight as Ncrth Caro- 5
lioa had experienced. Ee had Bow- j
den amend his platform ard cut out j
the part looking" to a State fight.
Dr. Strait said that it occurred to j
him as strange at the time that Ms- j
T ,anrir> shrra Id have made such a state- \
meat to him in an cff hand manner, \
especially as he, too. wss ucder the ij
charge of being: a Populist and was
"blacklisted" for it.
Mr. May field then closed by sajicg 5
that if the other co2gre?smen weuid
net prove the charge he had made, he
would withdraw from ilie rac?, at=d if
the other congressmen substantiated

In the course cf Col. Irbj's speech $
he was talking about the charge of |
^ McLaurin that the people repudiated jj
. Evans for having be< n "rammed doT/u s

supported him with all this.

He rs.n ar.d wanted election for himself

A DRAMATIC INCIDENT AT THURSDAY

TLere hr-.ve been nrteelir.^s during
this cam safari, that have bean full of
-personalties, others that hare !:ecn
verging on the .sensational, but Thursday's
meeting z. Yorkviiie was dramatic.
CrGYrrnor Evans mads some reference
to it bat it was evea more intensely
dramatic than one might sapnose
from the mere statement'of that
fact. At times, although the audience
showed its partiality, there was ar? "bsojut?
qufct and deathlike stillness m
:he court house with its t'COor 700 people.
First c? ail, in a manly and
straightforward way, Mr. May S eld
sdmittf-d the wrong that he had done
Mr-. McL^urin by charging hire, with
trying to organize the Populist party
in this Stale and then to redeem his
pledge made at Chester Wednocdav
formally withdrew from the race. It
wi?s unexpected. The 3tyie, the provocation
and the consummation are
all so unusual in South Carolina politics
that it made it all the more si&rtn~-A

he was cheered to the echo for the
politics, he tad tak?n. Then came
Governor Scan3, threvr unusal

discussion.
Mr. Ec.?.ns spoks Josser than usual
and so envliusr-d he and determined
that he rose on his tiptoes to em ohasiza;
what he regsrdei as the laclc of loyal '
ty 0i3 the par: of McLaurir. to his!
friends and his false position. The ex* j
i. _r t.r_ -?->r r:^i i i
s'siciiieai vi ?a.r. sievuciu ;
and the severe arrai^crcs&t ov Gover-j
nor Emits had spurred iir. uIcLsurinj
up to a decided pitch. He had said]
iictci>3? ? rod his seat and when he;
arose it was plain to serf thsi he vv<v>i
gcios: to inake one of tho speeches of j
his iife, which he did. lie spoke with j
ail the ardor and feeling that he had j
and at one ticoe duricg the read ins: of j
a lettler from Congressman Bailey,;
j jsti'ying his vote on the wool sch.3- j
dule, he gasped for breath and c^ras i
vtry r-eir rtrrilog over but he manned j
himself and went on with even more j
than his wanted vigor and it was but j
a minute aftc-r he fell to the floor like \
a loc, completely exhausted. Iiwas!
the work of conllicting emotion, exer-!
lion sr.d the heat and in took nitro j
g'tjcerine tablets to enliven the slug- 5
gish heart. It was. however, nothing \
ierious and scon after Mr. ilcLaurin j
was taken to his hotel, where he re]

Mr. McLauris and insisting that he |
was not noT nor never had beer, in a}
combination. When he went on to I
s&v that yesterday and on previous]
occasions he had charged McLau-ia :
with iaavicg- written the Populist plat.- j
form and attempting to organize thai!
party in South Carolina. At Spartanburg
h?. denied the ciaa^ge bs:t after
getting w::at he regarded as further
evidence. &? vrell as that yesterday or
Dr. Strait, he would withdraw iron? j
the race and if he proved them Mc- j
Lauria himself should withdraw. He {
said he made the charges in good faith
aad that he .never misrepresented any
one. He was now satisfied from what
he had heard and from conclusive
proof shown him by McL Turin, that
he did dicta'e the Populist platform j
and that McLirin did succeed in strik ;>

gabizitioa ia lh-.s S.ate* and to Mr. I
ilcLauriu rr:ore thaa au v one else was j
due the credit that there was no Popu-1

iieved that the statement made by Dr. (
Strait was correct as he understood it, j
but he farther be;isved that Mr. xdc- j
Liuria was te]lia<? the truth. He nott I

Tillman is piaylrg a shrewd hand to!
keep b is dispensary as an issue for 1900.
If the dispensary jroee down Tillman
will be -without a State issue. If all i
factions want to play into Tillman's i
hand let them vote for McLturin's :

Then, after the band had played its; \

he was satis tied that be wcu;d pick j

[seemed to be singled out to be brand
?d as Populist and Beoublican. As a j
matter of fact every Reform congress- j
man in ISS2 was elected on the Oeaia |
platform, which was adopted as thej
3:ate platform, and that was in sub-)
stance the Populist platform, and why J
ce should now bs singled out!
to be branded as a Populist
he did not know. He was
pledged arid did work for six long
years tc coin Dins every iriU'jence to
secure free silver, and if he was mere
prominent in this work it was not his ,
fault. From the first inomeut he saw ,
that the only hops was ia a combinalion
of the free silver forces, and ne
worked to that end. As to his record
it seeded no vindication, and he had j
been 'ar enough in this campaign to
see thai he would be elccted by a bisr
majority. (Much applause.; Hd said

the T7eatlier Bureau Issued Tuesday by )
Director Bauer.
The following is the weekly bulletin
of the condition of the weather and
crops of the State issued Tuesday by
State Coi-':rvor Bauer:
TEMPERATURE.
The first of t&e week was hot and
aultry, with desiccating: winds, but on
the 6th there be?an a de^id fall in
'nnprafi7ir?> Trith \rr r<1i7idT7
;*nd rainy weather for the remainder
of the week.
The mean temperature for the week i
averaged over one degree per day i
above the usual,the weekly mean hav-1
mg been 81 while the normal for the ]
same period is approximately 79.5.
The normal temperature from now on
will decrease at the rate of about one
degree psr week for the remainder of
the month. The maximum temperature
for the psst week was 100 reported
from Baaufcrt on the 6th; the mines
urn was 5S reported from Florence
on the 7th.
PRECIPITATION.
Th;rc were scattered showers 011 the I
2d accompanied by high winds and |
some hail in the eastern portions, and j
on the 6ch a general rain set in which j
covered the State from Oconee to the ;
sea, gc-neritlir light over the western j
counties and heavy over the central I
and southeastern counties. This rain j
washed 3ome lands baciy in Barnwell, j
Ssiuda and Newberry. Nineteen j
places reported measurements for the j
week of less than an inch. 14 of from i
one to two inches: and 17 of ov?r two I
inches, the average of ail measure-j
merits being 1.56 while the norma] for '
the week is about 1 46.
The rain of the latter portion of the j
week was generally i*e?ded, and as it j,
was followed by cloudy, cool weather
will prove highly beneficial The
greatest amount reported was 4 23 at
Charleston.
There were several ^nds, noiably

ozi tas m, ^uancsiuLi auu u i :uc
liih at various points io the norliiw^stera
counties, the latter bloziGg down
corn, breaking fruit trees, etc.
Hail fell on the 6th in Greenville,
Saluda and Laurens; 2d io Barnwell;
1st in Newberry doing but little injury
and that confined principally to cot
ton.
The weather during the greater portion
of the week was nearly or quite
:lear and generally cloudy on the last
two days, the average per centage of
sunshine for the week was about 79,
which is considerably above the normal.
CROPS.
The greater portion of the week was
hot and dry, and crocs over the east
ern portions of the State lost condition
7prv fast. bni the general rain of the
3<.h came opportunely and greatly re !
vived all Tiuliuj; vegetation and al-1
thous h the weather became unusually j
cool, the temperature began to rise
again before any damage resulted.
Yours corn had begun to fall rapidly,
but aside from the slight check
in its heretofora rapid growth its coa-l
ditic-n was not materially impaired.
Some leaves were sunburned and damaged
as fodder. Fcdcier pulling is
making raoid progress. Corn is ap- [:
r^re-ntW fiilin.c- out ouiie well, ai-?!
J ? o ~X?/ -j
though there are a number of reports, <
Di the ears bsin^ smaller than usual.
The first of the week was too hot '
and dry for cotton which lost condi-{<
Lion, due to excessive shedding of I
leaves, squares, and in a few instances, I:
3f young bolls. The plant turned yellow
and appeared to be dying. The
greatest injury occurring in. Hampton,
Dorchester. Colleton, Berkeley, por- ;
tions of Williamsburg, Orangeburg ;
md Sumter counties, but reports of <
like deterioration came from thg east -1
?rn portion of the State generally and j<
from many sections of the western s
portion. | <
Prematura opening was also report- {'
:d, but this was J&rgc-iy checked oyj
fee timely rains and cooler, cloudy j;
weather. Picking hjis begun actively |
la the extreme eastern counties, bus j;
trill not be general over the State for!.
some time to come. la Edgefield!

the bolls, having the app'earance of!

There are many reports of excessive
''weed'' without a cor responding proportion
of fruit, while small coiton is

The Jully crop is fuliy up to an av- ;
srage c^er a large portion of the State :
*nd in York, Anderson and portions 1
of other western counties better than 1
for many years. Taking the ertire 1
State, the present condition, according
So special reports, compares favorably 1
with the crop of rtcant years at the
same date. ;
Tobacco cutting aud curing is pro- '
pressing favorably and is ntaring

t
A X). creial Ordar and ac Inj auction Issued |
by Simonton. ; t
2
There no longer seems to be the ^
shadow of a doubt as to what Judge s
Simonton meant by his construction fc
of ths meaning of the term "original
packsge." He Tuesday issued a decretal
oruer in the case of G-uckenheimer
& Sods, which settles the issue as to
whether his definition included liquors
shipped in carload lois. Tne facts
were in this cr.se that the shippers delivered
the bottles to the railroad com j
pany?each marked but not wrapped? j
and they were packed in the car in
sawdust by the railroad company and |
delivered to the sgent in Florence. \
When the opinion was filed there at
o?;ce arose considerable doubt as to
whether Judge Simon ton's definition,
covered such a shipment. Tuesday
the attorneys in the cise appearea before
Judge Simonton in G-reenvi'Ie
ana he issued tha following order,

jive in moments of consciousness,
2ut it was not till Tuesday that he was

"That's all right," replied the madiened
crowd, "we will take care of

when Walter Vandiver, a proninent
citizen of Weaverville, rose ia
iis stirrups and with a few ringing
.vords asked the men to save the fair
lame of the county from such a crime.
the hesitation of the moment the
