c?iffef?eld Ad\ ertiser TITOS. J. ADAMS,.EDITOR WEDNESDAY, APR. 15, 1896. President E. H. Aull and Secre tary C. C. Langton, of South Caro lina Press Association have issued the official programme for the an nual meeting of the Association, .which, is to convene in Charleston, on the 23rd of April./ Gubernatorial Candidates. Hon. Jos. L. Keitfc, of Newberry, is announced as P. candidate for gubernatorial honors. The Candi dates in the field so far are Hon. Jos. L. Keitt, of Newberry; Gen. W. H. Ellerbe, of Marion, Hon. G. Walter Whitman, of Jonesville, and Hon. R. B. Watson, Edgeficld. All those who are fearing that the Reformers ar*) going to bolt the National Convention may rest easily. They will have no m?ed to bolt. All their juBt demands will be complied with. The flag of Democracy upon which a silver star is emblazoned will be thrown to the breeze when the National Democratic Convention concludes its labors. The party, having adopted that which the voters de sire, will make a triumphant march to victory. Those who love their god Gold better than they love th'^ir country' are the ones who may bolt the party and set tip housekeeping for themselves or go with the other crowd. Free eilver and the protection of Amer- j ica's industrious workingmen and farmers will be the winning war cry in the next national campaign. -Palmetto Post. Tillman in Kentucky. Lexington^ Ky., April ll.-Sen ator Tillman's opening speech in ? the free eil/er Presidential cam paign drew to Lexington to-day the leading silver men of central Kentucky. He was given an en < thusiastic reception when he ap peared at the auditorium this af ternoon. He took a drive about thc city early in the day with lo cal silver leaders and had a lush of callers later on. Senator Tillman was introduced t:> an audience of fully a thousand people at 3 o'clock by Rev. Mr. Bolling. He held the close atten tion of the audience for two hours. On the stage were many of Ken tucky's prominent politicians. He denounced the Cleveland and Car lisle financial policy bitterly, and then went after the press in the most rigorous language, saying among other things that the press of tho ouutry had beeu subsidis ed by tho money powers of the country. He took up Carlisle's five prop ositions as enunciated in his epeech at Memphis last year, and argued.that they were all wrong. He claimed that the only reason ??rhy silver was inferior to gold as a standard of value was because it was made inferior by the laws of Congress. His points were wildly cheered ty the audience which seemed to be in sympathy with h.s views. Mr. Tillman predicted that the text national Democratic conven tion would be controlled by the free silver wing of the Democratic party. ORDERS TO DISPENSERS. Circular Issued Yesterday by the State Board of Control. THE LAW MUST BE STRICTLY EN FORCED-THE BOARD WILL TOL ERATE NO LAXITY DJ ITS OBSERV ANCE BY DISPENSERS-ALL PRO VISIONS MUST BE ENFORCED. The State Board of Control has is ?ued the following circular to County Dispensers: The Dispensary law under which you have hitherto worked became a nullity on the 31st of March, and you are now operating under a new law enacted by the recent Legislature, and under that Act you are amenable solely to the State Board of Control, The Board is composed of five members, who are charged with a geueral man agement of the Dispensary busi ness, and from whom you will hereafter receive all orders and instructions. You must send io the State Board of Control (and not to the Commissioner or State Treasurer) the following: Ali or ders for liquors, beers and wines; all invoices of empty bottles ship ped by you, with bill lading at tached; all claims for shortage on Invoices and ail invoices needing correction. Your weekly state ment of sales and cash account and duplicate remittance to State Treasurer, your monthly reports on forms "A" and "B" and your quarterly reports must also be sent to the State Boar.l of Control. You must remit on Monday of each week to the Slate Treasurer. To no one else must you send any reports, save the original weekly remittance blank to the State Treasurer. When your orders for shipments are received by the State Board of Control, they will be fumed over to the Commission er, whose duty it will be to ship them and send you invoice for same. But if any corrections are to be made or shortages on any in voice claimed, you must report the same to the State Board of Con trol, and not to the Com m i ss oner. Ship no more empty cases, and also refrain from shipping empty bott?esuntil further orders from the Board. Yon must not specu late on your bottlo purchases, as the role allowing you to purchase is for the benefit of the paities seiiiDg, and not for your profit. This rule will be strictly enforced. Tho Stato Board of Control are inalterable in their determination :o rigidly enforce the Dispensary law, and they expect you to live op to every feature contemplated in the Act. Their administration of the law will be done fearlessly ind without favor, and, we hope always tempered with justice. The trust reposed in you is a most im portant one, and you are charged with the sacred task of preserving the morality of that class of .'your ;ommunity that is addicted to an intemperate use of intoxicants by rigidly enforcing the provisions of a law which clearly contem plates a betterment of tho morals of the people by minimizing the use of intoxicants by all, and ab solutely placiug them, so far as is in your power, beyond the reach of inebriates and minors. You must not allow any loafing or drinking on your premise^, and vour hearty co-operation in our efforts to faithfully carry out the true spirit and intention of the Dispensary law will receive our approbation. Respectfully, WILIE JONES, Chair. Seth W\ Scruggs, Cleik. Death of Mrs. Faulkner. About half-past 2 o'clock Fri day morning, Mrs. Rivers Faulk ner, (nee Miss Rivers Deane of this city,) wife of Mr. Jasper W. Faulkner, a young farmer from the lower part of Edgefield Coun ty, died at tho home of her mother on Sumter street, this city. Death came suddenly and unexpected^', the deceased lady having retired at an early hour in good spirits and health, and awaking about midnight complainingo'r a feeling pf suffocation, and r.t the hour above named she suddenly expir ed. The family physician was summoned under thc impression that she had only swooned, but he ?.vas unable to come, being himself ?dj, and Dr. Kendall was caliea in, who saw that life was extinguish ed, but made an effort by the Caesarean operation to save the birth, but found that it was too late. Yesterday afternoon at 6 o'clock the mother with her two dead boys lying in ber arms was laid to rest in the churchyard ot* the First Presbyterian Church, Dr. Smith "officiating at the services at the house and grave. Mrs. Faulk ner was an estimable and lovely Christian girl and woman. She leaves three children by her first husband, who died several years ugo, a mother, sister and several brothers. It was the wish of the family to have the interment take place to-day, but it was deemed liest to do so yesterday. The young Lu8band, wfoo broke up his farm ing operations and came to the city to live, m deference to h's wi fe "s wishes, is almost heart-bro-. ken at his loss. The pall-bearers were Messrs. A.

It was moved that a committee of three be appointed from each of the four Camps, Abner Perrin, Jim Tillman, McIIenry and Mitch ell, whose duty it would be to nominate two of the Survivors to seTve upon the Pension Board. The committee being appointed retired and after consultation re turned and recommended that J. H. Watson and L. Charlton be elected. Whereupon it was moved that the Secretary be instructed to cast the unanimous vote of the convention for these two Survi vors, which was done and they were declared duly elected. Upon motion of Geo.

Is it not about time the people should be looking about for some one or ones to represent them in the legislature. We should Lave above all things good and true men in tho House of Repre sentatives, and the people should send them there. So le? us bring out our best material. We hear so much talk of slates, riu^s, ?c., we can and ought to forestall any thing of the kind, if it is being arranged by the politicians. I wish to name a man for the House of Representatives whom all the peo ple know; he is not a candidate but has served tho people of Edge Held acceptably in the past and I doubt not will do so in the future, if he is urged to become a candi date. I refer to the Hon. H. H. Townes. The west-side will be sat isfied if he be sent to the Legisla ture. Let us hear from other sec tions and men. Respectfully, FARMER. * TRIBUTE OF RESPECT.
