Accident ox the IJail.? On Tues- |

near Adger's. Several children were j
playing near the track when the j
irain passed. One of i hem is supposed (

list as the train rounded a sharp curve <
\nd was struck hv the engine. Tne (

snginepr slacked up the train as soon *
is pcssible, hut too late to prevent the ?
accident. The skull ?>r the child is t
fractim d and probabilities arc that the 1

weather in (he early evening kept a
goodly number at home, who had expected
to attend, yet there assembled
a sufficient number to make the oc
ca.-ion one long to uc rememoerea ov
those in attendance. The early hours
of morning found the dance still in ,
progress, and it was the approaching ,
dawn that reminded the merry dancers
tliai the evening had passed and they

COXCEKSISG THE CONFER ESC 1\
Mews. Editors: In reporting the
)roceediugiS of the the two committees
tppointed to confer in the interest of
>eace and harmony in the Democratic
anks, you omit or witliold in my hum
jle opinion the most important pans
>f the deliberations, viz: Three disinct
propositions from the Tillman
=ide all of which were rejected. 1st. To
told a primary and elect a chairman
>y popular vote. 2nd. To go back to the
>riginal clubs as they were previous to
he split and elect delegates to a County
Convention, the majority of whom
shall elect a chairman as they should
lave done in the beginning. 3rd.

n-f civ- wrliilr? n-p ft
b W1U11UHVV VJ. C4-k If ?? w w.www M
lommittee of sevcw and let these 10
lecide the matter. This latter proposition
was received with evident
tmusement, and yet I will proceed to
>how that it was decidedly fairer than
-he one proposed by the Antis. To
llustrate, two gamblers agree to win
)r loose an hundred dollars. After A
lad won all the money B very genernisly
and magnanimously offered to
lraw straws to see who should keep it.
Such is the position of the Antis.
When they have lost everything, are
indoubtedly in the minority; and are
ibout to be left out in the cold, they
:ij': Uoys, Jets draw straws 10 see
s\iio shall be chairman. Note tins
fact: They deny there is a Tillman
majority in the county, as it appears,
syniply for the sake of argument for
tiicy are unwilling to let the popular
rote decide it.
1 stated that I was willing personally
:o give thein three of the five delegates
it each convention. This puts the
Liiatte? in its-tr?e light, and'e'vidences',
an earnest desire to give them even
more than they were justly entitled to.

the Antis agreed to postpone the
primary called for the 9th ultnio.,
and no* doubt so understood it. He
was corrected at the time by myself
explaining it was only talked of, and
thought feasible. After our report a
motion was made to refer the matter
to the County Executive Committee
but if it gave them authority to act I
am very much mistaken. The records
will show.
Respectfully.

One of the Tillman Committee of Five.
[Our correspondent is mistaken in
supposing that we a'tempud aieport
of the proceedings of the two committees.
We merely reported the propo
Bit ion oi uie conference, mere were
several propositions disenssed by the
committees, but the one submitted to
the Convention was the oj. 1 y one
adopted by a inaj >1 ity of the conference.
This proposition did not come
exclusively from the Anti?, but was
the result of a general discussion of a
proposition from one of the Tillman
committee. Tne primary plan of our
c ^respondent diu not seem to have the
support of the entire Tillman committee
and was not voted upon at all.?

Scrofula all His Life.
I consider my cure by S. S. S. one of
the most wonderful on record. I had
the worst type of Srofula from my
infancy until 1 was 22 years of age.
My whole voting life was embittered
and made miserable by the loathsome
disease. I not only suffered from the
Scrofula, but was so marked that I
was ashamed to associate with, and
was avoided by. my playmates and
fellow workmen. I t ried every known
patent medicine, and was lirst and
last attended by more than a dozen
reputable physicians, but in spite of
all. the disease continued to grow
worse. About four years ago a friend
xrom rutsburg aaviseu me to iukc j
S. S. S., which I did, and after taking j
seven bottles I was cured sound and j
well. The old skin peeled off aud was I
replaced by a new skin, as smooth and
free from blemish as any person. 1
have had no return or symptom of the
disease.

Gala "Week and a news bureau, while
the Snartan Mills and Beaumont Mills
arc by 110 means old.
The Gala week, which begins on
24th inst., promises to be a grand success,
and is under the auspices of the
Spartanburg Ileal Estate Company.
Pigeon glass hall and rock shooting,
checker content and lawn tennis, tounament
will be among the attractions
during the day. Banquet on 24th,
Grand ball 2.3tli and German 2Gth will
amuse the spectators at night. The
ccmps-iiy is. composed ofolUvvvr
best business men, and they propose to
spare neither money nor pains to make
the occasion a successful one. As a
consequence of tliis movement, gentlemen
from other cities have been
here arranging f;;r purchases before
the sale, and some very valuable land
has, and continues, to change hands.
Converse College, one of the most
beautiful buildings in the Southern
States, will soon open, and doubts arc
entertained as to whether it will accommodate
its numerous patronage.
A contract has been let to add a number
of dormitories to the left wing,

while. The building is situated at the
east- end of main street, and commands
a magniticient view of some
thirty peaks of the Blue Ridge Mountains.

To lit#' K'litoi* of Tin: X' ic.s mi'l Herald:
I In your issue of the 271h I uoiicc
that I have bicn taken to (ask by Sir.
E. 1>. Itagsdale, who, judging from the
sour tone of his communication, has
taken an overdose of anti-Tilimanism
and is now Irving to disgorge by swallowing
a still larger dose of anti-Ailiance
in the way of an attack upon
ralOert ai.cl the snu-i reasnry. ui!?!
j
remarks only prove what I said at j
Wiuiisboro and elsewhere, that the i
farmers oi' our country have been
accustomed to taking back seats while
the statesmanship of the country has
been mostly conducted by lawyers; so
far has this been the case that they
have come to feel that they arc entitled
to it by riglu of inheritance or primogeniture,
and as a general rule a firmer j
~wn6 the nerve, and I might add!
the audacity and iffrper&JLcnce, to take j
Hip fctnmn and inveiirh ayain^vjjie
established order of llfngs, has bcent~
hounded down as a demagogue and
demoralizer, called an idiot, a crank
and an ignoramus. Mr. llagsdale is J
playing this role with ine, but I have
heard of a plucky little animal once
who put himself on the track to butt
oft' the engine, and I want to say to
him (Mr. liagsdalo) that I represent a
powerful organization called (he Alliance,
and when he undertakes to throw
himself before that procession he will;
probably find himself jsst where the i
other little auimal did.
This man says of me: "I listened j
for two hours or more to the gentle- j
man with varied emotions sometimes j
indiguant, c'c." No doubt his cino-1
lions were varied when listening to a !
plain, unsophisticated farmer, who, j
tkontrh not so learned as Mr. Iiairsdaie, j
yet had the manhood to speak what he !
believed to be the truth even in the j
august presence of banisters like him- i
self and other grandees. Neither am I
I surprised that the gentleman became '
at times indignant when ["recollect1
that the devil always becomes so when
listening to the tiuth and scriptural j
doctrine, lie further says: "lie con-'
tradictcd himself upon many essential1
propositions, appealed to the prc-ju-j
dices ot his hearers, falsified history ;
and maligned the dead." These are j
??iaiiillUU3 Iiwno Vf Ktivui ~ SV4? ,
tiller of proof. He pretends to say I j
contradicted myself by saying {lie j
"government contracted the currency, j
etc., and then in the next breath saving i
national banks did it." Now I have!
not space here to discuss these issue.-, j
but I said in substance. that Congress ;
having the right to control tlie cur. j
rency'and i>sue a circulating medium. j
stamp its value, etc., but that Con-1
gress had delegated that right iudi- J
rectly to the national bankers, and thev |

some limes there had been -rre^Utlejis >

the [lime or the space to discuss this j
further or L ceu'd make it plainer.
As to appealing io pnjudice, I will '
say thai 1 stated facts ami gave figures
and conditions as lliev were and as I
understood them. 1 dt-fy thisgenileman
to disprove ihcui, and I shall not
ask him any advice as to what I shall
or shall not say in my lectures, lie
again attempts to put me in a false
light by saying I had l.dsiticd history
and maligned the dead, and cites Mc'
Do flic's sci vices, when my remarks j
only referred to legislation in Congress i
since 13G5. 1 gave fi:cts ami figures j

ent wa< in .-i oppressed conditio::.
As to the go vern ment. lo:inii>g money j
on whiskey, I do say so, Mr. Jtagsdalc |
to the contrary notwithstanding, the i
collection of revenue is deferred for!
three years amounting to millions, and ;
certificates arc issued on the deposit, !
which certifica'cs arc good coila'eral in !
any national bank for cash, and that
cash is government money on deposit ;
with national banks even wMimt
interest. If that is not loaning money
I would like for this disciple of Blackstone
to say what?
As to Mr. I?agsdale?s insinuations j
about "aspirins- demagogues ricing i
into office on the Alliance," etc., I will i
say that men may say v\ hat they please i
of me. Low, grovelling souls, who, I
forever kcepirg their own selfish aims
111 view, decide all public measures by
?heir presumed influence 011 their own
aggrandisement, will, I suppose, jadge
me by the venal and corrupt, which
they ought to prescribe to themselves, i
In answer to his challenge to di<-cn?s
fie sub-treasury, I will siy that nature
is taken up to lhe t'*me of the
September Convention am! a good

glad to t^cn.-s the matter before the!
people jointly, Many of tl e fos&iliz* d :
and reirifi^d partisans and their papers j
| are denouncing the sub-treasury plan |
: as a ntfmbng when they really know !
; as li-rrie of liie scheme as a donkey i
j does of Sunday, and their opinion I
ought to have no more weight than a

challenge to a joint discussion and c<
reiterates certain other objectionable Ci
doctrines. Mr. Talbcrt withdraws his
indictment against our public men. on ft
the question of tariff reform, so far as ri
it concerns those who figured in public $,
life prior to 18G5. It is v. eli that be "
did. It would have been but a simple ' c
act of justice in him to have with- i ij
drawn it as to many others. Indeed I j i'i
believe that it is a well known fact that, j a
with the exception tf the Hon. Geo. D. j r,
Tillman, every Congressman from this i b
State since 1870 has been a tariff re- j n
former. Now if Mr. Talbert wants to j

Now as to the cunency question Mr.

have, I lie average circulation per; a
capita for the period embraced in the i t.
report was 8-1 70. This multiplied by j
00,000,000 will give a sum considerably \
in excess of Mr. Talbert's 81.71. 11
find also from this report that the ! d
average circulation per capita for 1S7S j
was SIG.oO. and that there has been a
net expansion sincc March, 1878, of i ?
$599,224,19:3. It is a pity that Mr.! ?

Hood's Sarsaparilla do not be induced to take

medicine, possessing, by virtue of Its peculiar

satisfied with it; and did not want any other. ^

that at times I could hardly stand. I looked, fl
