Is there now un organized Demo cratic party in the State? The writer says emphatically, no. The followers of Tillman during the sessions of the last Legislature held caucuses with closed doors, barred inside and outside, *and rigidiy excluded all Democrats and Alliancemen who we're not sup porters of Tillma n. W here is the Dem ocracy in this? There is none what ever. The leaders of the deluded fol lowers of Tillman cast aside the State Democratic constitution, and franied and adopted a constitution of their own, and now boast that they are in possessiou of the election .machinery and intend to work it for all it is wortb. - The trio of conspirators who, in 1890, Wmet in secret conclave and parceled out -the offices, assembled recently in Lau rens. JIrby, in hi 'eech, dleclared that nothing under h ven can defeat Tiliman for a second term. Shell swore he should have it. Tillman said be in tended to have it, and with it a Legis lature that will execute his orders. The last one took his free pass- irom him and left him standing before the world a self-condemrned bribe taker. This hurts him and makes him savage against the members of that body. This trio have determined the peopie sh all have no say in anything. Till man, through his mian Irby, has issued his proclamation of amnesty and has prepared rules to swear in every body to vote for himself and his friends. Are these Democratic methods? They boast they have t.he.election mach iutery a nd will work it in their interest for all it is worth. To swvear iu'and count in is their motto. and they claim they are D)emocrats. Citizens of the State, what *do you say they are? They could teach Scett and MIoses tricks. George the I111 issued his royal pro clamation of amnesty during the revo *lutionary war and oilered every i' lucee ment to the patriots to retarn an;d swear allegiance to him. H1ow did they receive it? They hurled it back into his face with scorn and contempt. They pressed on and on and won their independence and es:alished the soy ereignty of the States.

[The State.] UNION, January 19.-Superintendent Mayfield, Auditor -Morgan and School Commissioner Walker have been here investigating an alleged shortage in County Treastrer Scott's accounts. This rumor has been afloat some time, and has just now taken shape. All these officials are fuli-blooded Tillmanites. The county treasurer, it is alleged, went out in the country and secured the tax receipts of some per sons whose names were not on the treasuerer's books. Th, school com missioner then had Mr. Mayfield to come up and "investigate." Walker, as school commissioner gets the bene fit of all polls, and he thought he was not getting what was due his office, hence the investigation, of which, however, nothing has been said in the Tillman caurp. The county treasurer, J. B. T. Scott, and the auditor, N. B. MIorgan, have one and the same clerk, J. H. Bartles, who keeps books-for both othices. There can be no denial that there is a "shortage," or.something to that effect, to the amount of ST00 or The county treasurer's books are made up in the auditor's oflice and given the t reasuretr. Often, tax~payers' names are not on the list, and wvhen they come to pay they are given a receipt by the treasurer, or his clerk, who takes the tmoney, taking his name on a "Slip)," and the "slips" are given to the audiitor to add otn to his books and( furnish the Comtptroller-General with an abstract. In this case they were charged on the books. bt not against the county treasurer, who is respenl Isible for wvhat the audliior and. Camp:n troller-G.eneral have charged againtst him: so in the final settlement the the treasurer was just that amtotut ahead. It has been said that Mr. B.Arths, who p)osts tile books, while in the act of adding on the aas that were at, the asid:tionial slips was called to the bedside of his mo~t her, and while he was absent tlte C'omptroller camne 01nd settled with the treasurer, when the additional slips were not ad.ded. These are just the facts as I can gather themt. Mr. Scott has r'ting to say for p)ublientionl, and Messrs. Morgan, Bartles antd WValkcr atre tnot in town. At any,orate, it is a pretty kettle of fish, and somethi:ng may yet be heard from it. Frcom what I can gather, the school c immtissioner and countyv treasurer are not "'pu!ling togther," and have not been for some te.

A few chairs, tdesks anl blackboards that were in the lower story of the building, covers all that was saved. Everything else, in cluding the theological library, con sisting of upwards of 2,000 volules, was totally destroyed. There is not a dollar of insurance on the building or 'its contents. The contract was signed a few days ago for a new building, of which the one now in ruins was to form a wing, after undergoing a thorough overhaul ing and remodeling to conform to the miod(ern style of architecture, and the plans as made by the architect last sum er show a most beautiful struct -ue, in keeping with the progress and usefunes. of the institution.

A BRlASS TACK IN HIs SHOE Gives Mi llionaire Rtockefelier Blood Poison ing-He Communicates it to is Wife Most Peculiar Case of the Kind Ever Recorded. NEWv Yo RK, January 20.--William isockefeller, the president of the Stand ard Oil Company, and his wife, are bot h ill r-omi blood-poisoning. Although his physicians say lbe will recover they admit that lie is not out of danger. Several days ago Mr. Rockefeller pur chased a pair of shoes. That night. when he took them eff blood was no ticed on the toe of his sock. A brass pin had plunctured his big toe. This little sore is now endangering the life of the big oil speculator. He has had two operations performed upon his toe, and ilammration and lymiphangitis spread until his entire leg was atTected. He su Ffers intense pain. Am;estheties were used in8 per forming the oIperationi. Mrs. Rtockefeller was taken sick shortly after the first operation upon her hus band, and1 it was discovered that through a scratch on her person from Mr. Rockefeller's toe, the poison h ad been commziunicated to her.

E-x-(-bief of the Clher-kwes, Dmi: Wolf Bushyhead, is dead. Busiyhead says the Philadelibhia Evening Tfle graph, was born in the Cherokee Na tion east near Cleveland, a town ih East Tennessee, on the 18th of Marebi 12(. The Cherokees were then divide( into clans, as the Scoteh o:.co wen with this essential dliflerence; that th< members of ;ne clan being all bloid re lations on the mother's side, were for bidden by the tril,al law. uier tb1 severest of penalties, to marry excepi into another clan. Tlhe elans were sever in number. That of Chief lushiyead was called the Ah-nee-Cah-ene, or Deei clan, and his ancestors were promtineni and influential as far back as the hip tory of the tribe is known. His parents were both half M.ooded Cherokees. His father was the R'ev Jesse Bushyhead, a [apist preacher, who held many fliccs in the gift of th( tribe, and who, at the tihe of his death, in 1844, was chief justice. While quitE young Bushyhc.-d, jr., enjoyed com. mon school privileges in t he old nation east of the Mis;sissippi, prior to the great removal in 1S38-'39, he attended a mission school, which was established near his father's res,idence. After the removal of the Cherokees to their pres ent home West, Dennis was sent to another missionar.) school. In January, 1841, young Busbyhead accon panied the Chetokee delegates to Washington, and remained there until Grandfather IIarrison was inaugurated president, when he entered the high school at Lawrenceville, N. J. Here he remained until July, 1844. In August he returned home with the Cherokee delegation, consisting of John Ross, Javid Vann and John Benge, eminent and progressive men in Chero kee history. Before reaching homa, and while at Van Buren, Ark., Busbyhead, now a lad of IS years, was informed of his father's death, which occurred on July 17, 1844. Young Bushyhead lost no time in putting his education to use and served as clerk in Lewis Ross's store, on Gran river, from October, 1S44, to the sumnier of 1847. He was then elected clerk or secretary of the senato rial branch of the national committee instead of senate. In 1849 the gold fever broke out with violence in the Cherokee Nation, as it did elsewhere in the southwest, and carried off a great many young men to Caiifornia. The clerk of the senate was one. Bumhyhead's fortune in California was like that of iaany others who went there at that early day, sometimes up and sometimes down, though the final issue to him was not one of disappoint ment. In 1868 Busbyhead left San Francisco for home again, arriving at Fort GisonV, Cherokee Nation, on the last day . ;M3arch, 1SOGA Here he went into merchandizing and followed it unt,il June, 1871. The following November he wa, unani mously elected treasurer of the Chero kee Nation by the natio'nal council and was re-elected by a large majority in Novea~oer, 1875, the term of office being four years. In 1S8!) Treasurer Bushy head was nominated as the most avail able and competent mian of the Chero kee national party to fill the office of principal chief. His ability and popu arity were made evident by his re lection to the same station at tihe gen ral election of 1883. In 18S7, when it was time for another lection, a certain 3Ir. Rabbit Bunch, hief Bushyhead's lieu teniant governor, ccused that gentleman of ruling by ing methods and of other high crimes and misdemeanors. Rabbit Bunch pre ented himself for the nomination of he national or aristocratic party as a eform candi&ite and a champion of po itical purity. He succeeded in impres ing the party with tihe loftitness of his otives and in obtaining the nomina ion, though it was asserted that a iberal distribution of wampum and iromiises helped hinm very materially. uring the canvas personal encotunters ere frequent and somietimnes fatal, and arbecues andl free drinks were indul ed in to an extent rivaling any simi ar political performances among the ale faces. Bushyhead, however, mag animiously turned in and gave his utpport to Bunch, but with all the dministration influence there was not ower enough in the party to defeat the ~pposition candidate, the late Joel B.

Practical Experience or a Man Wh1 Tried Raising Things at H1one, ;:nd Who Gave H ik Own Personal Work and %uperv;sion to Mak Ing His Farm Pay. Editir. (, hroniele:-I notice in VoUr paper editoriais. anI letters froi f r ers and others givinIg their views as to what is best for Ihe farmers to (1) in the future, as it seems that farming haS cone to be an up-hill biness in our day and tine. On the first day of January, IsS7, I went to farming for myself. My nearest neighbor was my uncle, a middle-aged man. We did not agree as to the man agement of our farms. ile was an all cotton farmer, or, at leat, paid little attention to anything else except cot ton. His farm and the one on which 1 undei nook to make iny fi rst eflort to dig a :iving out of the ground oi my own account lay side by side. My uncle had considerab!e experience as a farmer, and was financially able to carry out his plans, till I was of the opinlion that his plan would not do. So I went my own way with a determination to succeed if energy and ciose atteution to business would accomplish it. My idea was to make corn, wheat, oats potatoes, peas, etc., enough for home consumption and have somic to spare, and make as much cottou as I could, rotating my crops, wheat and oats after corn, cotton after grain aud corn after cotton, raising enough cattle for milk and beef and some butter to sell in the town and an occasional beef to the butcher. I commenced ou a very small scale pulling the bell cord over one horse myself. I didn't say to my hands "go do so and so," but I a!ways said come boys, and 'Messrs. Editors my farming was always successful. I in creased muy farming operations as my income would warraut me in farming on a cash basis, and soon I was a'>le to hand my plow over to another and em ploy my entire time walking over the farm and attending to the different squads of hands, going with the hands to the field and returning with them, making use of a!l available pasture lands, grain fields, etc. I can truth fully say that I always niade money every year that I farmed and gave it my personal attention, but when I moved to town, away went the farm, the land too poor, the seasons too bad; there was always something (a want of proper management of the farm) the matter that the farm 4id not pay ex penses and the rent was short. My good old uncle took a diflerent view of the situation. He thought he could make cottan enough to buy all his corn, flour, and paid very little at tention to anything except cotton. He would plant very large crops of cotton and use guano. By the way, the first guano I ever saw was some he used. His cotton crop would all need hoeing at the same time, and the result was it would cost him a good deal of extra labor to keep his crop in good condition. We farmed several years and hauled most of our cotton to Augusta, sixty miles. It was all he could do to make tongue and buckle meet, hauling corn, bacon, flour, etc., to sup.ply the farm. After several years trial he was con vinced that my plan was the best, and he caught on and soon things went smoothly, and he, too, went to making money, and continued until his d.eathx a few years since. Now, M1essrs. Editors, are not the farmers generally in the old uncle's ruts, and if they will put their shoul ders to the wheel and say, come boys, and cultivate their lands as they should, adopting my plan, they will soion get on their feet again. Let them make more manure at home and buy less guano, plant and raise more grain and everything for home consumption; raise more hogs, horses, mules, cattle, etc., and adapt themselves to their sit uation, living within their incomes. If it is small, economize and cut the gar ruent a.ccording to the cloth and alw.ay s tiny to leave scraps enough to patch it, when it begins to wear. Touch the cotton factor very lightly. It will Le much easie~r to pay. D)on't sit around the street corners and in front of the hotels and postoficees and complain about hard times, when it is all your own fault and the remtedy is all within your own hands, and will come at your tiddiug, if the proper effort is made. The Alliance, Tonm Watson nor the Third party can do y'ou no good, but you imust exercise common-sense and rmake your farms self-sustaining, and do not uindertake to raise 5 eent cotton o buy Kentucky and Ten nesse hogs, orn, flour, horses, nmules, ha:y, etc. I xpect to attend the menieting at the ugusta Exchange .

Npecial to t and Couier.] (>0 uIMMa, Januiary 1.-The many sided Cant%well ca-e is in the Supreme Court again. Ar the time of the re mNral of Nir. Cantwell the question as to his rigit to his salary was discussed in the The News and Courier some dive or six months ago. The striking of the case froim the (ccket by the Supreme Court oin account of failure of the Attorner-General to cone with in the rilt,s was recently reported in full in The News and Courier. The State now takes the initiativ.e in having the case heard on i!s merits. In a recent talk with the Attorney General he said -that he does not con strue the recent o:-der of the Supreme Court as making any deliverance on the subject of 'r. Cantwell as between him and the State of South Carolina, but only as between him, Mr. George W. Wiiiams and others. Hence the question of pay is still in nubibus. He desires to have a deeiion of the Court on the real question at izsue the right of the Goveruor to make the removal The petition signed by the Attorney-General was filed this morn ing with his verifieation as to facts therein, and with the certificate of Solicitor Newton and 'Mr. J. Y. Cul breath, attorney of the Newberry Bar, as to the merits of the petition. The document sets forth that the appellant, Geo. W. Williams, was ap pointed deputy supervisor for the county of Cihareston on MIay -, 1831, when the respondent, Cantweii, was removed from the ofice of supervi sor : that the removal of Cantwell was confirmed by the Senate ; that appel lant's sole attorney in the proceedings was the Attorney-General. That the case was duly docketed in the Supreme Court on ' January 8, 1892; that the appeal was disiissod because the At torney-General had not filed the points and authorities, and that there was no practical question involved. That on the 4th of December Y. J. Pope vacated the office of Attorney General, )n the 10th of December .. L. McLaurin qualified and asumed the duties of the ofice : that between the 4th and 10th it was considered doubtful whether there was any assis tant Attorney-General.

How to Tieat Grip. The New York Herald publiIhes an interview with Albert Robin, the cele brated Paris physician, giving his ideas as to the Lest treatment of the grip. He is reported as follows: "A curious thing is noted, and that is that in large cities it is less intense than in smaller towns and villages. It attacks all temperaments, but old and feeble persons are the most severe suff erers. Children support the malady better than adults. If influenza is es pecially dangerous on account of the complications that arise from it, it fol lows that its true treatment is to avoid the latter. These complications are l)neunonia, pulmonary congestion, weakness of the nervous system and acidulous poisoning of the blood. To avoid such complications the patient !hould be kept rigorously in bed so long as there is the slightest fever or the slightest cough. Warm aromatic potions should be given, which induce perspiration, and by sweating eliminate the toxic products that encumber the blood. "I have determined, by the way, that the sweat of a person suffering from influenza is twelve times more toxic thlm that of a person in a normal condition. Weak doses of sulphate of quinine of from twenty-five to fifty centigrams should be given three times a day. The reason is that large doses make the patient sleep profoundly and destroy the fever, but have no action whatever upon the poisons circulating in the blood and do not diminish their destructibility, render more active exudation and elimination of those poisons, wLich are the source of the danger. Antipyrene, which is often recommended as a specific for influenza, should be mistrusted. This medicine depresses the nervous system, closes the kidneys, which are the principal means of eliminating animal poisons, and consequently is more harmful than useful. To sulphate of quinine should be added alcohol in moderate doses in the form of port wine or grog. "It is necessary above all when fever has disappeared and the patient wishes to go out and resume his usual occupa tions to insist upon a convalesceniTe in doors for from four to eight days, ac cording to thbe seriousness of the attack. Such is the general treatment. If influenza becomes localized and affects any particular organ r local treatment should accompany this general treat ment. This is, of course, the affair of the physician consulted, and can not be treated under the head of general indications." Munificent Donation to Education. RALEIGH, N.

Governor Tillman's First Slip-up and What it Has Led Him to. Governor B. R. Tillman, Columbia, S.C. DEAR SIR: You remember my writ ing you a letter last year when I first heard of your accepting that free pass and urging upon you the necessity of at once repenting of the sin and return ing the pass to Bunch. I told you then if you refused to do so that you would go on from bad to worse until you would be finally lost. - You refused to take the advice of your friends, and now see your lost condition. Gover -rnor, that pass was your first step to ruin. That was to you what the first drink of whiskey is to the drunkard, or the first game of cards to the gam bler. You have gone from one bad thing to another, until you are now hopelessly lost. You have committed the unpardon able act, if what is reported about you is true. To ask you this question is why I write you this letter. It is this: Had you paid your tax when you re fused to sign the bill passed by both houses to extend the time of paying taxes? Did you make the poor farmers of this State nide from five to thirty milcs to reach the court houses, leave their homes at midnight (many hav ing to leave their families unprotected) in order to get there in time; forcing our county treasurers to send out run ners in the more distant parts of the county, warning our people to come at once, (and be it said to the credit of the treasurers) promising to spend the entile night in their offices writing receipts to save the farmers the pen alty? Were you that night sleeping sweetly in the Governor's mansion, dreaming of the $3,500 we are paying you, and your taxes unpaid? If all this be true, (but it surely can't be,) that is the unpardonable sin, and that one thing has caused you to lose at least "ten thousand of your braves." Thd boys in large numbers came in to-day to know about it, and asked me to write to you at once. They don't like to believe anything they see in some papers. They said that the pic ture business, flowers, joggling board, tax returns, etc., are like the gnat on the ox horn compared to the way they have been treated on the tax-paying. Governor, if what is'said should Le true, I doubt if you will have one "brave" left in this section "to tell the tale." Some of the boys (farmer boys) were talking of the five-dollar joggling board. They did not seem to under stand exactly what it was. When I told them tbey said, Pould you not have saved the State some money by. building one panel of fence and run ning a plank through the crack and let one child get on each end, and- play see-saw? Sam Hinton says his ~chil dren play that way every day, and it doesna't cost him nigh five dollars. Now, Governor, you see all this trouble started by you taking that free pass. Would that you had taken my advice last year and returned that pass to Bunch. You would then have been our Governor for four years, but that free pass, that free pass, has been your ruin. Yo'ur friend socially, L. M. MOORE, Green wood, January 15. P. S.-Can't I truthfully say, "I told you so?" FARMERs' ALLIANCE ADVICE. Hen.:j Ciews Points Out Some oft its Effects .in the South and We.-.. (From the New York Sun.j Speaking yesterday of the great drop in cotton Henry Clews said: "When cotton was king (so called)the largest crop produced was just prior to the war; 4,000,000 bales was the biggest yield up to that period. Last year the crop was8,5300,000 bales. This crop more than doub!es the best crop when slav ery existed, and cotton as king has been dethroned by corn, which now rules as king of crops. Under free labor the cotton crop has more than doubled in its yearly product that produced by slavery, and the price has been almost cut in two besides. "The only hope for the South is to keep the yield hereafter down to about 7,000,000) bales and till the soil for other products to take the place of cotton. Then and not until thea can the price of cotton be controlled and kept up to a paying basis and the South again re turn to prosperity. The South is now almost bankrupt by an overproduction of their one big crop of cotton, due to the low price now for the stuff and no market for the surplus. The difference to the South in dollars and cents as between eleven cents and seven cents is evual to at least $100,000,0t0. "The advice of the Farmers' Alliance urging cotton growers to hold back their product for higher.prices has en tailed a loss of probably three cents a pound to those who were so influenced, which is equal to $1-27,000,000. Similar advice was more recently given to the producers of wheat in the WVest, not withstanding that the price at the time was $1.10 a bushel in Chicago. The difTere-nce between that price and the presenit would be equal to $120,000,000 loss oni the crop. It is, therefore, very plain that it would be a good thing for tihe farmers if the Farmers' Alliance would go out of busine'ss, instead of continuing to mislead their followers in so pernicious and ruinous a manner."
