Hoo. Bea. Terrell, of Texas? Lecturer af ibo National Farmer's Alliance* trill address the meeting OD the abject sad ahas of the Alliance. The distinguished speaker has met with a handsome reception wherever he bas spoken. He is an ebqueut speaker mad thoroughly informed on all matters ; pertaining to the organization he repre? sents. It is earnestly to be hoped that all tao farmers of Sumter County, lay? ing aside all oih?r business, will come as bear bis. Tb? daj noght to be Usda distinctively a farmers' day and Saca a crowd greet Mr. Terrell as has aever been seea in Sumter before. Those of our farmers who are not mem? bers of the Alliance ought especially to come oat and karo what the Alliance ss doing and what is tte object and seope of its work. Ia ibis connection it is pertinent to say something about the resolutions adopted at Atlast*, last week, by the National Cotton Committee, consisting of ose delegate from each of the Cotton growing States. The personnel of the Committee was made op of the follow? ing agricultural organizations ; Nation? al Wheel, National Union, and National Alliance. It was resolved by the com? bined committee to recommend to the farmers of the Sooth to sell no cotton daring the month of September except to meet obligations past due, &c. Their abject was clearly to raise the price of wotton. This scheme, if carried out to any appreciable degree, may accomplish something io the way of showing to the country the extent aad efficiency of these organisations. Thc moral force af this important step may be beneficial io Its effect on the organization itself and perhaps oa the cotton exchanges, in teaching the latter that the farmers eso act in concert and with a modicum of ^independence. We fear that this partial and incidental success will com? prehend all the good that will be ac? complished by the farmers in the pro? posed measures. If the movement should fall short of the immediate re? salta sought--the enhanced value on the market of the staple-the reaction f by reason of this failure and disappoint ment will be greater in its evil tenden? cies, than any partial success in other ?sys may be beneficial. The finan? cial reports do not indicate a future in? crease in the price of cottoo, except a slight rise in December futnres, which the price of the staple will scarcely real? ise if tbe ?wove erop of the South be an loaded at once, by reason of the hold? ing back of September sales. Besides which, there is now on hand a quantity of cotton almost sufficient to control prises for the ?ext three or four months sad the new crop will scarcely affect tbs present vafees. Cotton is one of the necessary articles of commerce and exchange. It always brings its worth is the same way that money does, and is about as variable in value. Its status in the financial world h fixed and the fluctuation ic its mone? tary value is influenced by such forces sad circumstances as are beyond thc reach of the farmers to control. We speak thus candidly oar vievrs because of our apprehension that a mis? take on the part of the Alliance in a .attar of such importance to them will eatai! upon their organization everlast? ing rata. The Farmer's Alliance and kindred organisations are but experiments so ! fer. They are yoong plants of rare promise and if not over-cultivated and pasbed too rapidly will grow into trees i ol sturdy strength, abie to resist the storms that will be hurled against them. Let them progress wiab sore and steady steps, conscious of the justice of their aWsstoa, increasing in strength as the rime goes on, and equipping themselves to cope with the difficulties as they arise j sod reforming grievances already exist- j ing, but notte^^ad waste their pristine ; powers by anticipating troubles not yet I arisen sad which circumstances do not ? render probable, and whicb, if they do j come, the farmers are powerless to cor? rect or modify. The fight against the bagging trust is of a very different nature. We be? lieve the farmers have a fair chance of, SBcee?8 in this, bul when they tackle j the staple itself they bite off a little too j ssacb for easy mastication. In the lat- j ter ease the combat is unequai. They are fighting unseen and intangible forces. A tboasand and one contingencies might arise to depress or increase the price of colton, just as the value of money is cheapened or augmented by circumstances of momentous eoneem to the whole world where money is used. Not PO with bagging. That is an arti? cle which is merely an incident to cot? too and depends fur its sale entirely on the farmers of the South. It be LoD gs to or is controlled by one syndicate, and if to-morrow, every jute factory were to dose down it would not in any appre? ciable degree affect the price of the fleecy staple. In three years it would be forgotten that jute ever existed. ? 2 5 SUMTER WATCHMAN, Kstablished April, J S 50. ?gn#>Kdate4 Aug. 2, 1881.1 kSe Just and Fear not-Let all the Ends thou Aims't at. be thy Country's, thy God's and Truth's " THE TRUE SOUTHRON, established Jafc?, 1?66 SUMTER, S.

It is to be hoped the matter will be tested so as to ascertain whether the Executive has the power to grant pardons coupled with conditions. The princple is wrong even where the power exists, on grounds already pointed out by us. The misty old case used as a precedent by the Governor, is out of date, and having grown out of peculiar circumstance is valueless as a precedent in all cases. MURDERERS REMANDED. In the cases of W. B. Meetze and W. D. Kelly charged respectively with the murder of James I. Clark and George Bateman, brought before Judge Wallace by their solicitor, S. W. Mel? ton on writs of habeas corpus, bail has been refused the prisoners, who were remanded to jail to await trial at the next Sessions at Columbia, like any common prisoners This ruling of the Judge is refreshingly independent of recent precedents in similar cases. If the press of the State will continue its warfare against murder and murderers it will either check the former or pro? cure the punishment of the latter. The Parliament of Great Britain was prorogued on the 30th August last, till Nov. 16. In the speech from the throne usual on such occasions, her Majesty declares ber country to be at ''peace and charity with all men," thanks the Parliament for their liber? ality in providing for the wants of the public service, but is silent|?as regards their greater liberality towards the su? pernumerary members of tho rapidly increasing royal family. This is not a popular topic with the British people and her majesty is discreetly silent on the subject. Now that the Republic (?) of Hayti is temporarily at peace and the throat cutting business suspended for a season, Minister Fred Douglas can assume his post there as our representative. As long as the conflict was doubtful, the United States Government would not risk the precious life of Mr. Douglas on the island. It is reported that the Government of Hippolyte, the success? ful general, objects to Mr. Douglas on account of his color. This is funny in view of the fact that the ruling classes in Hayti are negroes. But Mr. Doug? las is almost a white man-a mulatto himself-his better-Jiulf a white woman. (From our Regular Correspondent.) WASHINGTON LETTER. WASHINGTON D. C., Aug. 26, 1889. Senator Gorman is? said to have pre? sided over a 6ecret meeting of promi? nent Democrats held at a country house in Maryland this week to arrange a programme for the Democratic minority in the House. My informant says that while it was Dot definitely settled, it was generally understood that the Re? publicans would not be permitted to make any radical changes in the pres? ent roles of the House, nor will they be permitted to unseat Democrats with? out good and sufficient reasons. If '*be who hesitates is lost," some? body should be prepared to go in search of President Harrison for be still hesi? tates, and hesitates, as to whether an extra session of Congress shall be call? ed. Some people do not mind saying that it is fear and not hesitation that ails the President. Perhaps it is and perhaps there will be no extra session. To-day we have as many as three cabinet officers io town at one ticie, for the first time io several weeks. ? Frank Hatton has printed a fac-sini ile of a letter written by Civil Service Commissioner Roosevelt, and he wants to kBOw of the Commissioner if the writer could pass the examination for copyist. From the looks of his wriiiug Mr. Roosevelt must have taken lessons from the late Horace Greeley. Society people, the few that are at present in the city, aro discussing the important (to them) announcement, just made, that Mrs. Harrison will not shake hands at tho White House recep? tions this winter. It is stated that the building of the warship "Texas," about which thcro is so much mystery, will be investi? gated by Congress. The Navy depart? ment is at present trying to find out whether she will float if finished under the present plans, which were purchased of an English finn of ship builders, and cost $15.000. The vessel when com? pleted, if it is ever completed, will cost over ?2.000.000. If stopped now the Naval officers say the loss will be more than $250,000. Everybody argues that the World's Exposition of 1892, should be held un? der the authority of the National Gov? ernment and in a representative Amer i can city. This ?9 a strong double ar- j guuieiit in favor of its being located at Washington, which is the only city completely controlled by thc Govern- I ment, as well as thc only city in the j United States of more than 200,000 population that can be strictly speaking, ! called an American city. More than 90 per cent of the inhabitants of Wash- \ ington arc native born Americans. The fight on the Civil Service law which is being made here got rather j personal this week when some inquisi I tivc newspaper man while no>iug i around at the war department found a j copv of an order issued in 1803'dis ! missing Civil Service Com missioner Lv- ; j man from the army. He sent, it to his ; S paperas a special and it was telegraph- \ j ed back to a local paper. It was how- i I ever a rather short-lived sensation, as a j little investigation at the war depart j ment brought another order to light re? voking the first one and granting Ly? man an honorable difcharge. It is very ! unfair to make sue!? attacks. Had the J man who found the first order made any j i inquiry at the department he would ''? j ha\e learned of the existence of the : j second, but that would have spoiled his \ I sensation. To the credit of the most j prominent opponents of the Civil Ser- ' ? vice law, be it said they oppose all such ? j methods as that adopted by thin sens?- j ?ion monger. They .-ire fighting the I law, not the gentlemen who are Com- : 1 missioners under the law. ^ j Thc country will breathe freer now j j that the Treasury department has an- j i nounccd through neting Secret? ryj j Bucheller that it will no? permit a finan- ? : cia! pesie dering th;? present Adenia stratton. Tho announcement was nade to allay the fear caused by a news japer report of a Wall street trust formed to either raise the price-now being paid by the Treasury for* bonds jr to throw the country into a financial panic. The Wall street sharks may juake in their boots, or shoes, when [bey hear about what this brave acting Secretary has said, but it is more prob? able that they will laugh in their sleeves and go on in their schemes just as if be had said nothing. The name of the new Democratic weekly paper to be issued here next week is to be the National Democrat. It is intended for national circulation and is endorsed by ex-President Cleve? land, ex-Speaker Carlisle and other prominent democrats. The Republican State Associations are making things very lively around the departments here. They are bolder than ever before notwithstanding the civil service law. M Stonewall 's" only Child. Mrs. W. IE. Christian nee Julia Jack? son, the ouly child of Stonewall Jack? son, died at Charlotte, N. C., Aug. 30,# after a two week's illness of typhoid fever. Her husband is editor of a paper called the Charlotte Democrat. Her mother resided with her and her husband. The remains were taken to Lexington, Va., and were buried be? side her father, Gen. Thomas J. Jack? son. "It goes right to the spot," said an old gentleman, who found great benefit in Ayer's Sarsaparilla. He was right.
