EVANGELIST LEITCH. He Creates a Uig Commotion at Colum bia. Columbia, S. C, July 0. Ttrcre is a prospect of a big row here over the way Evangelist Leitch is conduct ing his meetings which have been go ing oa here during last week. - On several occasions he has made some very peppery references to the minis ters of the city in theway of rebuke for not attending the meetings, his re marks being particularly directed to ward the Methodists, under whose auspices the meetings are held. Among the remarks he has recently made are these: Referring to the luke warmness of the Columbia ministers, he said: "They are like cooters and require a coal of fire to move them. They draw their $1,000 per year and do nothing to save these souls here from damnation." Referring to the Episcopalians, he said, 'Oh, just pull a few hairs out of their head and you'll find dog meat." The Delay in Issuing: the Laws. State Chronicle. The Secretary of State requests us to say that tlie delay an getting out the Laws this year is due: First, to tho fact that the paper con tractor made a contract with a machin ist to put in improved works iu his mill in four weeks time, and consum ed ten weeks in doing so, thereby de laying supply of paper three weeks. Second, at the time of the passage of the law requiring the public laws to be printed in ninety days from ad journment of Legislature (1872) '73), the average size of the volume was about 600 pages in large type. The volume of laws for 1891 will be 1,600 pages of small type, making for times the amount of printed mat ter. The' distribution of the laws will be gin 'about the middle of this month.

The Chaileston News and Courier prints the following interview with Gov, Tilman, of South Carolina. What about the Spartanburg meeting at which you are to meet Col. Terrell in debate ? Will the speeches be heard by members of the Alliance only?" All I can say about that b that when I accepted Col. Terrell's chal- lange to meet him at Spartanburg I expected the discussion to be in pub- lie and for the benefit and enlighten ment of all classes of voters. In his tour over the State Col. Terrell's ad vocacy of the measure was in public, andl cannot suppose that it is intended to restrict my reply to Alliance mem bers only, and to a few at that. Be sides, it is too hot to speak in any house this time of year; and there is - ( o place m opartanourg large enougn to hold the audience that will be like- ly to attend except the Grange en- i . il encampment building. As 1 under- suraa n, mis is a inenaiy discussion Detween me aistingmsnea lecturer or national Alliance and mvselt up on a question affecting the interest of all classes. Alliance men, farmers who do not belong to the Alliance, and citizens who cannot join that or ganization. I cannot see any reason, therefore, why thedebate should not be held in public." "When will the discussion take place ?" "I don't know, but, I presume, on the second day of the session of the State Alliance, which will be about the 22d of July." 'Have you heard from Col. Terrell since he left tho State?" "Only through the newspapers. but when I was at Cedar Springs last week I mentioned the matter to some of the leading Alliance men in Spar- tansburer. and thev said there would be a We crowd nresent and thev wanted the discussion to be in pub- C3 r J I lie "What arrangements have been made for the meeting ?" "None that I knoy of, but I pre sume that Presidents Stockes and the Spartanburg Alliance will take the necessary steps to prepare for it. "Have you any idea of the result of this discussion ;" "Of course not; except that the dis cussion is to take place', in public, and that the State Alliance will take a vote on it iu secret as they do on all matters affectinsr our C rder. J hope to show that the Alliance in south Uarolma cannot anora to press the Sub-Treasury scheme, but as the measure has been endorsed by the Ocala meeting and by our State Al liance I may, and probably will, fall."

One of the witnesses briefly tells the story of the executions as follows: About four o'clock the witnesses and jurors were let into the death cham ber. Experts had previously exam ined everything and were satisfied the machinery of death would work suc cessfully . At 4 o'clock Slocum walked into the death room accompanied by Father Creeden. He seemed to be making a tremendous effort to keep his compos TT l J ; i t,i ci j UIW- "e receiTeuramer ueea- i 7i a az il l i i ii" en s last omces ana oaa aeciarea Him self ready to die. He was then firm ly strapped into the chair and the death current J' t. Death was in stantaneous. ' iuere was a sudden contraction of the nerves and all was over. Smilef followed next. Rev. Mr. Edgerton cheered him up. Before Smiler had time to think, he was strapped iito the chair and in an in stant later the current of electricity was flashed through him that sent him into eternity. Next to follow was Wood, the ne gro. He had been worked up to a state of religious enthusiasm and it was while in this frame af mind that he was fastened to the chair and killed by the fatal shock. Jugiro was stubborn to the last. Ther was the usual ferocious look on his face. He was closely guarded and short work was made of him. There was no apparent hitch in the ! four executions and thev were pro nounced a success. The death of the four men appeared to the observer to be painless. Death came liks a flash. It was an awful shock and then obliv ion. Gov. Tillman. News, Greeneville, S. C. Arrangements have been made for the big Alliance rally to be held at Tigersville, this county, on July 31.

Wanted A Railroad Commissioi. For the Mecklenburg Times. There is a great many things that I can't understand and one of them is why the marble and stone dealers of Charlotte, N. C, should have to pay first class freight on monuments and headstones and granite bases, while other dealers in other states cities and towns can ship to Charlotte and pther places at fourth and fifth class rate ? Monuments of the same weight has been shipped from Columbia, S. C around Rockincham for less money then they charge from Char lotte, N. C. Something wrong some where I hope the Railroad Commision will do something for there is no sense or justice in cbargin first class rate on 'stone, B.H.Morse. STATE NEWS.
