The Charleston Neves and Courier, in
replying to the remarks of Capt. Desportes
before the Board of Trade of
Columbia, casts au uncalled for and
unjustifiable slur upon the people of
"Doko" in this eountv, when in the
course of its remarks, it says that

souuded well at a Sunday-school celebration,
or perchancc it would have
set the gaping rustics of Doko wild,
etc." The insinuation co*tained in
these words is plain enough, and why
our esteemed contemporary should
take occasion to insult an enlightened
and intelligent community in the
course of an argument on the subsidy
question is beyond comprehension.
Tho rm/vrklA evf th*f. rvf thf?
just as wclTm^
formed and intelligent as any community
in the State., and this gratuitous
fling at them will in no way injure
them; but at the same time we feel
called upon to resent so unjust an
insinuation against a portion of the
people of this county, who as a whole
are noted for their intelligence, conservatism
and patriotic devotion to
duty. It will do the Xtics and Courier
and the cause for which it is fighting
in the premises no good to give expression
to such sentimen!s.
A United States marshal and five
deputies recently appeared in Sharon,
Ga., armed with Winchester rifles and
arrested seventeen prominent citizens
^ for conspiring against a newly made
postmaster. A day or two before
that a deputy marshal was decoyed
out of a Florida town and murdered.
These incidents smack of the days of
'76, when the Federal Government
armed its minions and sent them to
oppres.5 and maltreat Southern Democrats,
and when some Democrats taking
the law in their own hand, exe

President Harrison is attempting to j
renew a rolt which everybody thought
had been discarded. Does he imagine
that the appearance on the peaceful
streets of x country town of a posse of
' men ostentatiously swaggering about
with "Winchesters, and arresting cititens,
will d? aught else than s>tir up
the worst passio..o of the people and
lead to violence and general outlawry ;
Such acts on the part of officers of the
Federal Government gire au excuse to
the violent and turbulent element of
the Southern population to defy the
law and commit outrages that put a 1

Of all the papers in the State, and
of the country as far as that is concerned,

The Columbia Register propounds a
question which should be carefully
considered by true Democrats. It is
tfeis: "IIow doe? it do for a national
democratic committeeman to hold that
the hope of carrying the tariff reform
movement to a successful issue is
'Utopian?'" It doesn't do at all. The
Democratic party by its platform, by
the utterances of Cleveland, Carlisle
and other leaders, is unmistakably
rwaA nnrtn a tni-ifr reform fonilda
tion. We are bound to this policy and
it is right and has the approval of right
thinking men. Tariff reform is iho
policy of the party, and if those Ligh
authority in its councils cannot subscribe
to this politfv they ?houM give
wav to those who do. Doirt let if be
said that national committeemen are
not in accord wiih their party. This
is a sure way to defeat. With Gov.
Ili.l the vast majority of the party can
esclaim, ,4\Ve are Demoem;*/' and
being Democrats we can have nothing
to tio with the subsidy iniquity or
tnr;ff abomination. Those who *re
not Kith us are against us. To repeat
the Registers qHestion somewhat paraphrased,
how does :t do for a national
committeeman to hold his potition
when he is not in sccord with his
party? Or how does it do for socilled
Democratic papers, published

enccMotny, the three conditions necessary

people.
The Xew Statesmanship.
Some time ago ihe Baltimore Sun
?ho*re<I that out of $105,000,000 expended
by the United States between
1789 *nd 1882 Married had received
but $1,500,COO. Wilson tuereupon
showed th:sT hi ii e past seven
rears Baltim?t?* !? ?* roomed about a

any of Maryland's present deh^aion
need (he whip and spur to i:: luce them
to every exertion to proeu.-e anew
custom house in Baltimore and all
other needed public improvements.
If they can accomplish as much in the i
next, as in the past seven years, there
will be little ground of complaint on
the part of anybody."
The bearing of this observation lies
in the application of it. Senator "Wilson
mildly suggesi* lhat in the past,
statesmen have been diffident about
voting away the public mc.ey for
river and harbor improvements; but
he cheerfully adds that the Maryland
line is now doing all it can to get into
the front of the procession.
About tlm time Senator Wilson

man wanted bis seat; and doubtless
an argument used wa? that Senator
Wilson had been rather slow about
getting a custom houie and a new
man c?uld do better. Senator Wilson
got back to the Senate, but he will
doubtless conclude that his chief business
hereafter is to engineer raids on
the treasury fur the benefit of his constituents.
Several Georgia Congressmen last
year made themselves solid by securing
public buildings. Poor Congressman
Norwood didn't get his little
measure through, and despite his |
acknowledged ability and integrity
and experience in political statesmanship,
he alone was left at home. Cases
of this sort mar be multiplied. The
true function and office of a Congressman
is forgotten. Me is not to guard
the interests of the people at large but
to sret a good job for his district.
A Southern Congressman, last year,
said the only safe guard against this
vicious squandering of the public
money kr in the Southern Democratic
Congressmen. Like the Democratic
Statesmen of old, mentioned by Senator
WiUon, they stood aloof from
raid-, and beaded off lobbyists. But
rve fear that in this new materialism
that has swept over the South, the old
conservative ideas will be lost, and
the usefulness of a public servant will
be-ganged entiiely by his power to
jecure appropriations. It is needless
t o j-ay th?t this sentiment will be sub
versivt of all that old order ot things
which built up a general government,
which was ihe admiration of the world
iud gare the Sooth a glory that cannot
be matched in any other way.
FLO HID A PHOSPHATES.
Mr. McMasters Gives Some Interesting
Information About the Newly DiscovI
ered Deposits ? The Bottom Has Xot
| Dropped Out of the "Boom"?-ProbaI
ble Effect oa South Carolina Phosphates.
I
Mr. Editor:?As so.ne of your read
ers express a desire to know what I
think ofFiorida phosphates, I will pen
a few lines, though not accustomed to
write for the papers, merely to gratify
cariosity.
Mr. Scott, a lar^e manufacturer of
fertilizers in Atlanta, has been for
eighteen months obtaining his supply
of phosphate from the banks of Peace
River, about 140 miles south of Ocala.
I
Thi?, which Mr. Scott claims to be
somewhat superior to the South Carolina
phosphate, resembles it and would
naturally be recognized by persons familiar
with the latter. It is shoveled
from the banks where it is deposited
by the flowing water?the sand is
sifted out, leaving black pebbles aud
. nodules of phosphate ready for the
I manufacture of fertilizers.
People living in tha; section of Florida
entertain the belief that much of
the lanu on the head waters of Peace
River is fnll of phosphate rock and are
now engaged in prospecting those localities.
But the rrcontphospha!* craze
in Florida was the result of the discovery
that bed* of white and yellow clay
in Marion ami Li;rus counties that had
been ilwiuliL t'? be ?nlv pipe eluy is
phosphate of a very high gradv. Dr.
It. li. Snow.lt'M, who is a thoroughly
reliable chuni.-t, i-Ute-; that what he
analyzed conUii.ed from CO to 81A per
cent, of phosphate of lime, Thi? as
touched all persons who were aware
of the fact that Sonih Carolina ruck
only ranged from oO to Go per cent.
The man who brought the first sample
to Ocala, having found it in a shallow
well that he was digging at DunnellOM,
a railroad station on the
Withlacoochie, eighteen miieslVom the
Gulf, thought that it might be gypsum,
of which some deposits had been

ized the chemist was surprised to find
it rich in phosphoric acid. A company
was immediately formed and
13,000 acres of land in the neighborhood
containing more or less of the
mineral were bought from resident#
and non-residents. Thongh much of
this was bought at greatly above what
had been the market price, ret being
generally poor pine land, the whole
amount paid probably did not reach
$125,000. The company, hotrerer,
wai capitalized at ten time* that"
amount and ths stockholders were
enriched :hereby, as :;?t;ch of the stock
was sold abore par, Mr. Bradlv, a
rich manufacturer of 13 >ston, it is
said, having put over a half million
dollars in it. Souk; stockholders,
worth probably les- man one thousand
dollars, were suddenly possessed of
$50,000 or more. Another company,
of which Mr. Baldwin, a Urge manufacturer
of Savanutfh, i* a member,
was formed and the excitement arwie
so high that in some cases $100 per
acre was paid for land that had been
thought to be xlmo.*t without value.
A member of the first (Dtiuuellon)
company the* bought from Disston, yr
Philadelphia, who owns much of vrhat
is called swamp or overflowed land in
Florida, about 65,000 acres of land
lying about fifteen miles northwest of
Duiiuelloo. This probably didf not
cost him over one dollar per acre.
After a month or two of excitement
and possibly of reckless speculation
the two companies, which had been
the chief operators, evidently determined
to proceed in a more systematic
manner and not buy until some
idea was had of the amount of phos
phate contained in the Unci offered.
This caused a hill in the business and
gave to some people outside the State
a pretext for savin# thai "ihe bottom
had dropped out." I think that
there is no foundation for such an
opinion and have no doubt that there
are immense deposits ot phosphate
along the Withlacooehie andj>*eacc
llivers and probably in ovher^part* of
Florida. A United^Siaies geological
report made^some years ago refers to
phosphate found in Alachua County
j and recently it i:as been discovered
UCV?1 luimiia^cu. ai itno nmu ui^i^
is great excitement in Jefferson County,
140 miles northwest from Ocala about
di-eoreries recently made there.
It is probable therefore, that wilhin
twelve months there will be immense
quantities of high grade phosphates
pill on the market and that, though the
sale of South Carolina phosphates may
not diminish, price* will be greatly reduced
and the farmer will be greatly
benefited thereby. The Duunellon
Companr now have Dr. Shepard, of
Charleston, employed at a large salary
to investigate their possessions. Under
him a great manr laborers are
employed. Doubtless, in a few months
i that cjmpany will have a map show!
ing the extent of every deposit and its
depth so that the number of tons cau
be calculated and the wealth of the
company approximately determined.
The possibilities are immense, for Dr.

THOSE WHO WILL COUNT US.
It may be of interest at this time to
know the divisions made of the census
work in this State. By the terms
of the Act of March, 1890, for the
taking of the eleventh and subsequent
censuses, the Secretary of the Interior
is to desigoate the number of census
supervisors to be appointed in each
State and Territory, and to"divide the
conutry i;?to districts theivfor.
South Carolina has thus been
divided into four districts as follows:
First District?Counties of Abbeville,
Anderson, Greenville, Laurens,
Oconee, Pickens and Spartanburg-.

Views on the Financial Policy of
the Alliance?"It is so different from
Much of the Twaddle we too often Hear"
?How to Become a Lender Instead of
a Borrower.
Major "Woodward's plan of financial
operation for the Alliance receives a
handsome endorsement in the letter
printed below from Senator Butler to
Maj. Woodward.
Umted .States Senate, ?
Washington*, D. U., Feb. 20,18JO. I
My Dear Woorlirunl: I have just read
your letter to Mr. Mcares in the Xeics
and Courier, an i cannot refrain expressing
lo you my great sati.-factiou
at the sentiments contained ir. The
letter contains great biff chunks of
common seuse and sound advice, so
different from much of the twaddle we
too often hear.
You have struck the keynote of the
situation in your recommendations for
jointly borrowing money and buying
for cash. You know, then, exactly
what interest you are paying ami will'
have more latitude for purchasing
where you have the cash and not likely
to buy more than yon need. Your
plan will encourage economy and
thrift, ami stimulate the desire to
maintain good credit, something which
too many of our people have m K*
lected. When once money lewder* are
assured they can get 10 per cent for
their money, <?r even S per cent and
iV J*I> iltto f )w*ra
Llily J.?l ?v to vv?*W) UJVIW
will be no scarcity of money to loan.
Plenty of people would be too ?iatl to
get this rate of interest when the
Government is only paying 3 per cent, <
and many of the States 4,4? and 5 per
centon their indebtedness. The first
thing to be established is confidence, the
next is economy and thrift, and prosperity
is bound to follow.
No other people on earth could have
survived the rate of inteiest paid bv
the agricultural population of the
South since the war,and it is about time
they were adopting the wi*e and sensible
course you have buggesled.
Wc have the advantage of any agricultural
people in the world, if we
would adopt business methods. If we
would only go to work and make
enough to eat at home, and save, the
farmers would soon be lenders rather
than borrowers of money.
Look at the condition of the farmers
ill the northwestern grain States,
burning corn for fuel because they cansot
realize any profit by its sale?and
generally with nothing else to sell.
The interest on their mortgages due
and unpaid, their fmni ics to support,
what is to prevent a crash if this continue?,
and where is the reliel? It is
not now in si^ht. Contrast the situation
of a farmer in the cotton belt.
If ke makes tiis own uieai and bread,
and only & liltlc otlon, tint little is as
sure to command cash as a United
States bond, lie is near enough to the
markets to avoid the destructive bardens
of transportation. But buyers
will hunt him up, and he can have a
market at his own door of a commodity
which is imperishable in the
usual meaning of that term. What

TUB FARMERS' COSVJiSTIOX.
(Sumter Advance.)
The farmers of the State compose
over three-fourths of the voters in tbe
Democratic party and can elect their
delegates to the State Convention to
suit themselves, Messrs. Shell & Comust
feci their own weakness when
fhf*v ihint if npr.f??>?rv to hold a SPT.r.ial
nominating; convention u*^"March.
Have not the farmersjj^fne manhood
and the sen^To^srand up for themselves
as Democrats in the State Convention
again6t the wiles and machinations
of any man or set of men?
Why is it all advisable to hold a
special nominating convention of'
farmers in March?
We do not believe it at all advisable,
for the farmers of South Carolina
have as much manhood, patriotism
and common sense as any set of men
anywhere and can tnke care of themselves
in the State Convention.
For the farmers to meet in Convention,
at. farmers, to discuss the affairs
of State, their o^u situation and their
needs, formulate their demands and
make up their issues with which to go
before the people in the different
counties and vote for mew to go to the
Legislature with reference to those
issues is all right and proper and 110
objection can be urged against it
When the State Democratic nominating
convention meets if they nominate
a farmer for every State office
there can be no objection jo that.
But for a special convention of fanners
to meet in March and nominate a State
ticket woald only engender bitterness
and strife, because it would array one
f?las? acrainst all other classes, and ibis
could only result in harm. We are
very much inclined to the opinion that
Shell, Tillman & Co. are afraid to
take their chances for office in the
State Democratic convention.
Another objection to the convention
of farmer# making State nominations
in March is that it will not be a reprc-,
sentative convention. In the call for
the convention made by Mr. Shell
there is stated no basis of representation.
Any county can *end as many
delegates as it chooses. Then no
doubt some counties will not be represented
in the Convention for in them
Mr. Shell's Farmer's Association has
no existence. One or two counties
may, under these circumstances, carry
everything- their own way. uouia
that" then be called a representative
convention? It would be no more nor
less than a mass meeting- of men representing
scarcely anybody but themselves.
How absurb then for such a.
body 10 attempt to make nominations
for the Democratic party of the Stt?tc.
Just at this point we are speaking of
this meeting-as a bodv of Democrats, .
and not a$ a body of farmers. For the
reasons stated above we regard Mr.
Shell's call for a convention of the
EVirmpra Association in March to
nominate a State Democratic ticket as
a grim joke.
Mr. Shell talks about ringisin, bossism,
oligarchies, ctc. This is exactly
what he would creatc it' he has his
way.
