lit JThe Carolina Spartan. ^ CHAS. PETTY, Editor and Proprietor WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMERR 9. 1893. The Issues Settled by the Cam' -> paign. After the election, Governor Tillman asserted according to the Register, that the people had endorsed the issues disM| cussed during the campaigi). They are the enactment of a new railroad law that will admit of no appeal from the F commission; a radical change in county government; a change of the pub ic . school system including the $3 00 poll ? 'tax; a constitutional convention with qualified suffrage implied. The people by a very large majority have endorsed these measures and the legislators will not be true to their constituency if they do not carry them out. The minority must submit gracefully. It is no use to raise any opposition, for although they may have forcible arguments, they will not receive any hearing The better plan is to raise no factious objection to any of the administration schemes. They were unmistakably the issues in the State campaign. In this county the issues were about as follows: The poor people against banks, rail roads, factories and town influence They seemed to think that much of their trouble was caused by the influence of these corporations. The light was made on those lines and settled so far as a decided majority of votes can ~ settle a question. Henceforth we may look for the control of all these corporations by legislation. These issues uatrlorl hv t.h? neonle there 18 no r X use for the minority to raise any objections to these measures. The better plan will be to fill in with them when it does not militate against conscience and principle aDd assist the majority in carrying out their reforms. That is sound Democratic doctrine. The Conservatives were clearly de feated in the State primary. There should be no kicking, or bolting. Tillman and Tillmanism should be accepted without anv opposition- He has the Legislature,. They will carry out his measures. Let all the promised reforms come. If they give us more money, better prices, lower taxes and greater prosperity, the Conservatives will come in for a full share of the beneLfits. If some of the measures are not good, the Tillmauites will have to take their share of the bad results. We are all in the same boat, with Tillman ss Captain, engineer, helmsman and gen eral manager. Let us stick to the l oat and sad along with the crpwd. Hubbard, Price & Co., received 3,301 estimates of the cotton crop up to Oct. 15. 1892. They ranged from 5,555 555 to 9,999,900. Very few of the estimates went to the nine million mark. The average of the estimates was 7,773,5'0 These yere made out hy cotton men and mercantile firms in the main. It shows how little people know abont a cotton crop after it is made. Two prizes, one of $1000 and one of $500 will be given to the two persons whose figures are closest to the actual crop as made op by the New York Financial Chronicle. Their report will be made np this week. Mowing machines are getting to be abont as dangerous as the cotton gin J* . While the latter goes for l^nds ao^ aim*, the former is bnilt for a vigorous attack on .-the legs. While Brother Bernard, of the Monastery in Gaston County N. C., was running a mower last Thursday he was thrown from the machine and fell in front of the knives. He received a severe cut on one leg. The same day, near Golightly in this county, Perry Smith, colored, received a bad cat on the leg from a^ mower. 8outh Carolina State bonds dropped > from 96 to 924 immediately after the nrimarv. That was a shrinkage of $210,000 on six millions. But the State can stand all that. These are 6 per r cent bonds. Next year they have to be refunded at 4 percent. Tillman claims that hccaa refand the whole amount , at par without paying brokers and ^ bankers a single cent. We hope the Governor is correct and that he will ^ float the bonds at par. I ~ - 4 When you come to think about it, # the Conservatives can get considerable * comfort out of the fact that the Ocalaite of this State will have to vote for Cleveland and the National Democratic platform. While the Antis are gulping down Tillman in November, the Tillmanites will have to swallow Grover Cleveland, if it kills them. It will do a poor Conservative some good to watch them cake their medicine. The Legislature, if they regard the voice of the majority of those who voted on the prohibition question, will have to pass a sweeping prohibition law. Let there be no drug store barrooms, no domestic wine factories, no saloons on wheels. A half-way prohibition law will be worse than rpen saloons under the restriction of law. Complete returns have been received from all the counties except two. They can be approximated. The vote for prohibition is about 85,932, against it 26.352. Majority for it 9,500. The vote for Sheppard and Tilimen is about 37,563, Tillman's majority is about 22,000 It will require the official count to give the exact figures. The preliminary examination of Lizzie Borden, charged with the murder of her father and step-mother at Fall River, was finished last Thursday. Judge Blaisdell at the conclusion of argument said: "I find that she is probably guilty." She was remanded to jail to await trial at the November term. George William Curtis, one of the most distinguished newspaper men of this country died last Thursday. He has been the editor of Harper's Weekly for years. He was what might be caled a self-made man, for his school ed ucation was quite limited. He was in ; his 69th year. I * Complaint comes from some of the ? counties that there was considerable stuffing at the prohibition boxes. It ^ < was said to be done by both sides. _ With all that the vote did not equal ? the vote in the political boxe6. 4 L. D. Childs was not elected to the I Legislature from Richland County. Some one else will champion the pro- l hibitioii legislation.

Abandoned, half-tilled farms, empty cribs and barns, dilapidated dwellings, poorly clad and poorly educated children make a poor country. The doctors, merchants and all other profes-ions suffer. That is a plain, palpable fact understood by every one who is not an idiot*. What is the outlook for the farmers of Spartanburg county ip this the beginning of the business year? They are not as much in debt as heretofore. Their fertilizer bills are one-third less than last year. They have used greater economy in buying. It will take less money to square accounts this fall than it has in years. The prospect is that the farmers will sell much more corn than they will buy That is there will be ten corn sellers to two corn buyers in that class this year. Half of them, or more, have saved their seed oats. Many of them have their seed wheat and flour enough for home use. Then the outlay for these things will not be very heavy. The greatest drain will be for bacon and flour. | What is the chance for money to meet obligations and keep the family ? " 0.,.nlns onrn will | ana larrn guniK. ? bring 50 to 60 cents in the fall and per haps 60 to 70 in the spring. Sorghum syrup will bring 25 to 30 cents in the markets and 40 to 50 if retailed on the farms. The outlook for cotton is about six cents on the average. Best grades may bring seven. A oue-horse farmer that has 50 bushels of corn, eight bales ' of cottoD, a barrel of syrup and $20 ?0 worth peas, potatoes and the like, may calculate on a gross amount of $225-00. Out of this guano and 6tore bills will have to be paid and if the one-horse farmer is a renter it will make a big hole in the $225.00 to pay the rent. Let each farmer make his own figures He is near enough the close of the year ! to estimate his crop. He can tell how much of it will be required to set him 1 even with the world. After all the figuring, he will not find a big surplus remaining. , The lesson taught is about as fol i lows: Sow an abundance of small i grain and stop the buying of seed oats i and flour. Raise sorghum syrup for I home use and a little to sell. Keep a ' pig, raise your o.va meat and let the 1 children see the smoke puffing from the < cricks of the smoke house again. Haul 1 in leaves and make a big pile of com- ] post and enrich your lands. Save peas enough , or else go out and gather on i the shares, and plant every corn row < 5 ? * 5 2.2 ? o *03 05-? *5*2.

The Third Party Movement. It has been known for months that there is a strong sentiment in favor of the Omaha platform and the People's Party in this State. It is also absolutely certain that the party would have been organized here if it had not been for certain concessions on the part of our leaders. The white voters were eld together by the cohesive power of the canvass, but as soon as that was over and the pressure was relieved the People's party suddenly came to the front. The Register of last Friday gave the following information about the coming party : "The often-predicted and long-expected Third Party electoral ticket in South Carolina will soon become a reality. The man who will lead the movement, or at least its inception, is J. W. Bowden, the managing editor of the Cotton Plant, and the author of the famous anti-Cleveland editorial in that paperjpublished after the nomination of the standard bearer of the national Democracy. Mr. Bowden for many months has been the leader of the movement in the State, but it was hoped that he would not antagonize the Democracy, as untold complications will arise thereby. "Yes," said Mr. Bowden in reply to a question from a reporter yesterday afternoon, "we have gone actively to work, and by the first of October a Weaver and Field electoral ticket will be duly in the field?probably before." "How will they be nominated?" he was asked. "I have received several letters advising the convention s> stem, but do not favor it as it entails too much expense. But they will certainly be in the field by that time: you can be assured of that fact." "Will you run a 8tate ticket?" "No; we will take no hand whatever in the State and Congre^yona1. contests, and individually we will favor the election of Governor Tillman and the lie- | form'Congressional candidates, and will j vote for them. We are consistent in | this, too. Governor Tillman stands on1 our platform in State affairs, as does the Reform Congressmen, and we are perfectly consistent in voting for them. We propose .supporting men on the national ticket who likewise support dux principles?that is all there is in it." = opSi=;x;tjo,!;?-cp=;2j53 3 ? "*rr ? x??

We are fighting for principles. Nevertheless, the third party is much stronger than many imagine, and it will snrpris* the politicians, judging from the temper of the resolutions of the March convention Even third party men do not realize its full strength. I believe there are 30,000 third party supporters in the 8tate to-day. We are going to work organizing at once, and you will see that the country people will flock to Our support when the battle cry is raised." "What kind of campaign will you in augurate?" "This is not decided. Weaver is coming to South Carolina soon and will stump the 8tate in our interest. When he will come and where he will speak we do not know yet. We do not expect Watson over, but feel assured that he could do some excellent work. The general plan of our campaign is undecided." What stand the Cotton Plaut will occupv is a matter of much interest. Bowden, an announced third partyite, cann#t write Deuiocrai ic editorials, and Stokes, a staunch Democrat, cannot endorse the utterances of his subordinate. From the present outlook somebody will step down and out. Which will it be? An interesting fact connected with the case is that the Cotton Plant is the only Alliance official organ in the United States that is supporting Cleveland. Mr. Bow len seemed very much in earnest as to his utterauces and was very carc ful in his statements. It is a well known fact that he has lately organized t' ird party clubs in various places, and there are several in full bloom throughout the State. There are politicians in different sections who have been waiting for the call to join the movement, and this announcement that a ticket for electors will be put in the held seems the battle cry. In further conversation he said that the third party agitation was started for the sake of unity in the ranks, and not primarily with a hope of success. He saj s that he expects nothing but warfare from the present Reform leaders and believes that Governor Tillman will lead the fight upon them They look for help from nobody who took a prominent part in nominating candidates in the late primaries. ? Geo. D. Tillman and W. J. Talbert will have to make a second race for ; Congress in the second district. i V f II I I # ? \ BJ (ftej 1 i q A- ? 4 4 i \ 'it fAX delegatus. te'lart) delegates. f +-- "brShell. % ! o 'v ! 0 .OtlllSOU. 3 ! bq ?trait. ; | ( J^inphill. f . sch#mpert, solicitor. ^ \^lson, s. ? p slftlgod, s. j. j tf ^pry, c. a. ifcy, l. e. jj. ^ter, w. m. | ? j a^xbter, j a. p. ^ mtton, m. p.
