" ' By Telegraph to the Press-Visitor.
G REENvnXK, S. C, Aug. 19 Mr.
' Augustus T. Smytlie was heard all
- the morning in the rate hearlngcase,
'arguing that the court has jurisdic
tion to prevent a continuance in the
rate- cutting. Smythe argued that
the courts have been invoked to en
join rates" by railroad commissions
and legislatures, and yet it is con
tended that the courts cannot stop
railroads from destroy ing each other.
;Tbe courts have no higher duty
than to keep such public institutions
-as railroads going- In the afternoon
he argued to have the restraining
- 'Orde set aside.
. The argumentin the railroad rate
hearlng case was concluded this
afternoon after an all-day argument.
Judge Simonton at the conclusion of
the hearing asked for the papers
nd will take them to Flat Rock
where he will prepare his opinion.
There was no intimation through the
progress of the hearing as to whether
Judge Simonton would or would not
announee jurisdiction, and it is upon

Mr. Will Wynne has been given a
contract by the Seaboard Air Line
to equip their offices from here to
Charlotte with his new invention,
the private telegraph alarm call.
Saturday Mr. W. F. Williams,
superintendent of telegraph, and
other officers of the Seaboard made

it was highly satisfactory to all
parties.

The instrument isso arranged that
it transmits messages privately and
can call any given office, without
the other offices on the circuit

a wealthy gentleman in the past few
days to form a stock company for the
manufacture of the alarm call.

7th and 10th of that month, where he
will speak. Thence he goes to Louis
ville. From that point his tentative
itinerary includes Atlanta,. portions
of North Carolina. Richmond and
Baltimore. He will arrive in the
latter city some time between the

in Durham in her honor. The Sun
says . Touching talks were made by
Dr. J. A. Cunninggira, Dr. J. C.
Kilgo, "Aunt Lucy" Cunninggim,
Miss Martin herself, and others.
It was indeed a feeling time, and
not a person was present that did
not have a tear-dimmed eye. Miss
Martin could scarcely speak for
emotion. Her sisters were present,
also Miss Mary Pescud, of Raleigh,
the treasurer of the Woman 's For
eign Missionary Society of the North
Carolina Conference.
Miss Pescud asked that a free will
collection be taken up, and that, if
any one desired to give anything
towards defraying Miss Martin's
expenses, it would be thankfully re
ceived. A number responded, uid
a nice collection was taken.

Another Immense Audience Assembles in
Madison Square Garden.
Madison Square Garden, N. Y.
Aug. 18 The mass-meeting of the
Democratic Honest Money League
Was held this evening under the
most favorable auspices. The
weather was all that could be de
sired, clear and delightfully cool,
and thousands upon thousands of
persons turned out to hear Hon. W.
Bourke Cockran's reply to the
speech of William Jennings Bryan,
delivered in the same amphitheatre
last week.
ine police arrangements were
practically the same as on the oc
casion of the Bryan meeting. Ac
ng Chief Cortright, who is the com
manding oflicer of the police force
during Chief Conlin's absence, was
early on hand with fully 500 uni
formed men. The Sixty-ninth Regi
me.nt Band rendered a series of na
tional airs while the audience filed
in. Kvery man, womau and child
who entered was given a small
American, flag and a leaflet contain
ing the words of the "Star Spangled
Banner '' and ''America.'1 These
songs were rendered by a double
quartette, in which the vast asein-
blage assisted.
At 8:2o, when Mr. Cochran came
in, every scat was occupied, lie
was received with prolonged Mieers.
Mr. Belmont introduced tlie
speaker of the evening, Hon. W.
Bourke Cochran. The vast audito
rium was immediately in an uproar,
and the ovation of the night was
tendered the ex Congressman . Men
and women stood in their places and
cheered themselves hoarse, at the
same time wavng the small Ameri
can flags vigorously.
Mr. Cockran at length secured or
der and plunged at once into his
subject his reply to Mr. Bryan's
speech. He held his audience
from the first, speaking in his clear,
resonant voice, which reached every
one of his auditors.
Mr. Cochran said:
''Mr. Chairman, Ladies and (rentle-
men, Fallow Democrats:
"With the inspiring strains of
that national song still ringing in
our ears, who can doubt the issue of
this campaign? (Applause.) That
issue has been well stated by your
presiding officer. Stripped, as he
says, ot all verbal disguise, it is an
issue of common honesty an issue
between the honest discharge of the
dishonest repudiation of pub
ic and private obligations. It is a
question as to whether the powers
of this government shall be used to
protect honest industry or to tempt
the citizen to dishonesty. On this
question honest men cannot differ.
It is one of morals atid of justice. It
involves theexistence of social order.
It is the contest for civilization itself.
A Democratic convention may re
nounce the Democratic faith, but the
Democracy remains faithful to
Democratic principles. (Applause)
Democratic leaders may betray a
convention to the Populists, but they
cannot seduce thefo)t-stepsof Demo
cratic voters from the pathway of
honor and justice.
We must raise our hands against the
nominee of our party and we must
do it to preserve the future of that
party itself. (Applause) We know
full well that the success of our op
position will meanourown exclusion
from public life, but we will bo con
soled and gratified by the reflection
that it will prove that the American
people cannot be divided into parties
on a question of simple morals or of
common honesty. " (Applause.)
Mr. Cochran said he balieved that
if Mr. Bryan himself understood the
inevitable consequences of the doc
trines which he preaches, that his
own hands would be the very first
totear down the platform on which
he stands.

Will Support Republican
National Ticket.
BUTLER ON SKINNER
Caucasian Says a Cable was Formed to
Down Butler, But that it Was sit
Down I'pon Praises
Republicans.
The statement is' made absolutely
that Col. O. H. Dockery will sup
port the Republican national ticket
In the coming campaign. The state
ment is vouched by Republicans who
should know whereof they speak.
A Populist of State reputation was
asked today whether their party
would support Col. Dockery in
the event that he came out in
advocacy of McKinley and Hobart.
His reply was that Col. Dockery
would do no such thing, as the Pop
ulists had his word for it that he
would support Bryan and Watson
w nen toiu tnai ine statement was
absolutely made by his friends -that
he would vote for McKinley, the
Populist replied that he did not be
lieve it, but that if he did the Popu-
ist party in tne .state would no
longer be bound to him.
Will Marion Butler openly sup
port a McKinley man? He and every
Populist in the State has taken the
silver pledge as set forth at the
great' silver convention, and
which was afterwards used as a test
of Populism in this State. He want
ed to nominate Zeb. Walser, when
he had a statement in his pocket
from that gentleman declaring alle
giance to McKinley and Hanna.
There is no difference in Walser-
McKinley and Dockery-McKinley,
to use Congressman Skinner's ex
pression. The Caucasian this week is full of
the Populist Convention, printing a
complete occount of the procedings.
In referring to the Skinner-Butler
clash Senator Butler's, paper says :
Of course there were differences
of opinion. These differences caused
somo friction in the convention be
cause every man felt and knew that
he had a right to express his opin
ion and that in doing so he would
be listened cto unless he advoca
ted something inconsistent with the
purposes and declarations of the
Peoples Party. In that event he
was summarily "sat down upon" as
he ought to have been, There were
only two or three instances of this
kind. ,
There had been underground
rumors that a cable was forming for
the purpose of "downing Butler."
t was impossible to ascertain why
such an undertakingshould be made.
No good reason could be given or
was given for it.
As to the action of the Republican
Executive committee in endorsing
some of the Populist nominees, the
paper says:
It looks to us that somebody ought
to be arrested. The Democrats stole
our platform and the Republicans
are trying to steal our candidates.
Its just getting so that when a poli
tical party wants anything worth
having, they have to come to the
People's party to get it.
In another editorial the Caucasian
declares that there is no fusion.
"The Populist convention met here
last week and nominated a ticket re
gardless of the action of any other
party. No man selected by any
other party was put on the Populist
ticket. But the Republican commit
tee meets, takes a number of men
on their ticket who were independ-
ntly nominated by the Populists, and
then the Democratic press paints
itself red in yelling and squalling
"fusion."
The fact is we feel liko congratu
lating the Republicans on the fine
judgment they have shown in ac
knowledging that the best thing for
them to do is to support Populists.
Their judgment might have easily
been a little more comprehensive,
but they have done quite well much
better than the Dems have done or
ill probably do.
The paper asserts that a majority
of the voters of the State are op
posed to a Democratic Governor;
that "now is the time when weinust
take matters as we find them and
deal with conditions as they are,
and that one of these conditions is
(to repeat) that the Populists and Re
publicans constitute a majority of
the voters in the State, and this ma
jority is opposed to a Democratic
Governor," . ;
Or. Kills Will htnpannel ajurj' to Pass on
the icathof Mrs. Jewall.
After hearing the complaint of
Mrs. Britt, mother of Mrs. Arthur
Jewall, of Panther Branch Town
ship, who died under rather pecu
liar circumstances Saturday a week
ago, Dr. R. B. Ellis, county coroner,
yesterday decided to holdau inquest
over the dead body, which will be
exhumed.
Mrs. Britt and a number of citi
zens of Panther Branch yesterday
gave testimony in this city before
the coroner, which placed the re
sponsibility for the death of Mrs.
Jewall on her young husband. Tliev
believe that he administered poison
of some kind to her, and they lay
stress upon the fact that he pre
scribed to her during the day of
her death.
The young man stoutly denies the
charges preferred against him of
such an inhuman and heinous crime.
Dr. Kllis has appointed Friday as
the day for holding the inquest in
Panther Branch Township. A jury
will be summoned and all witnesses
who know anything about the case
will be examined.

ing his residence in this city he has
