Army Ilail. Peffc-r and Kyiesurpnse<i everybody by displaying more tri?.?i ordinary oratorical ability, and M:\ Simpson created great enthusiasm ! ;. his vigorous eloquence, that was attractive. although unconventional. Mr. JL'efTer was seen to be a man o; angular build, a little above medium height, slightly stooping in fhe shoulders. with long, sharp nose, and long beard of a rich dark brown, falling down to the lower buttonsof his waistCoat, and a pair, of keen blue eyes, rather close together?a man of mild, ministerial bearing and placid, gentle rvmntenanrie. Senator-elect Kyle is a six-loot blonde ^?f athletic build. lie is a man oi' plain appearance; a man oi the people, whose > hands have been used to toil, lie does not lock to be more than .'S3 years old. His hair and mustache ar^ not quite red, but nearly so. Ilis complexion is decidedly blonde and a set oi' very white teeth are frequently exposed by a faint smile. His large blue eyes are expressive of little earnestness or amiability, but the lines in his face are strong and his dress and whole bearing indicate a simplicity and freedom from affectation or vanity. Mr. .Jerry Simpson is distinctly the antipode of a dude, and is far from the scckless citizen usual!v described for Simpson. lie is a man of average si/.e. with dark hair and stubby mustache, being- otherwise smooth shaven. His V . ISSh lis bron/.ed, weather-beaten and r""strongly marked with heavy lines. His eyes have a peculiar brightness arui light" up willi an "intellectual lire'' when he talks. A twinkle that comes into them at times, and a smile that is just visible at the corners of his mouth, indicate a keen sense of humor and. ;it the same time, a degree of selr-coni)dence. Ilis suit was a sort of gray goods of "hand-me-down" cut. His shoes were heavy, with square toes, and laced with leather strings. His neckwear was a plain standing collar, turned down at the corners and ornamented with a black "shoestring" tie, and he might be regarded a decidedly unfashionable figure, but not by any means uncouth. Mr. L'ett'pr deplored the poor condition of the farmers, who had become poorer while the country had become richer. He ridiculed the Republican pretence of reducing the tariff taxes, and said that the McKinley bill would bring about the importation off irc-ign labor. On silver he was a free-coinage man. He said that one of Cleveland's good qualities was honesty. There - - c -* :~ was net me uiuerence c: mtr miiiuig or a banu on the money problem bftwetn the leaders of the two old parties. "What would you think." he snid."if Grover Cleveland should unite the Democratic and the Republican parties east of the Allegheny Mo-H'taius, and betneir candidate against the uiiittd Sou h and West? This is not improbable. We leave our friends in the East to take care of themselves. They can do so only by getting together, i henis going to be a great storm and our friends must hustle to get cut of the rain." lie cited the policy of the treasury in gciug to the relief" oi iili street last summer as an evidence.of class favoritism of which the-farmers complained. If that was right, lie saic, it was right for the Government to conir to the re JLiCJ. Ui LUC KUUICiJ Ui Ci.;vx II WV. He drew a word painting of the dugouts and sod huts, at the doors oi' wiiich women stood in tears watching lor the officers coming to sell them out. lie said they were not repudiators. What they wanted was money enough in circulation so that they "could get it for the products of their labor, lie had asked farmers in Kansas what interest they paid on short-time loans, and the} replieo from 18 to 77 per cent. The result of their labors on farm products was not over 1% cr 2 percent. s He advocated the Government of the people runn'~.T railroads for public transportation at low rates, to cover expenses, but not for profit. A new Government railroad should be built from Xortn Dakota to the Gulf. In about twenty-live } ears, he predicted, there would be no such thing as interest on money. Senator-elect Kyle * considered the lack of money the trouble in South Dakota and the "West. He said that ? the Alliance movement grew outof the discontent in the South and West on account of economic conditions. More money was needed to carry on the trade of the country. The high tariff was v bad enough, but the scarcity of money was worse. They wanted money, and diu not care what sort. Silver money was as good as gold, and gold was no better than paper. 7""' <!r.,Y.tAn lio n T--C.fcll r\"* O UX Jf CI UJpCVU yiVH.O VV ator, full of anecdote and spirit? The Alliance, he said, was a development. It was the result of the awakening of the farmer to the fact that he was not getting his share of advantages. The Republican party, he said, was dead. There would be two greta parties m thy future?the Democratic and the Alliance. The Conservatives woiud get together in the Democratic party, and those of both parties or oi no party who were radical and advanced would be in the Alliance. The South and "West had joined hards. The Republicans, he said, had lived on sectional hate lor a long time; the party was no longer the party of grand ideas. At the last election the Republicans had tried to save themselves in Kansas by bringing '.n dead issues. They had wrung the bloody shirt in the Kansas eamsaien until there was not another drop in it. They had appealed to the ?>-d soldiers lo stand by t:ie old party, buc conditions had changed since the Alliance told the Kansas soldier that he would tret to be us much a slave us the blacks he had fought to liberate if he did not guard his independence. The black slawry was but a primitive slavery; the very essence of slavey was that of toil without reward, when the results o' their labor was take:: Iran them without any return." "We saw." said Mr. Simpson, "{.hat this sectional strife w;:s kept aiive for political purposes. We cair.e to s-e that the question of loyalty or dis-loyalty was a m?*re matter v.-i v. hero one wts born, ii I bad been bom in the South 1 would probably have ' > ;:: a rebel and have ivlt it u.-y patriotic duty to light- i'or the causv <*f the Conivuer;tcv.

South Caro* lisa follwed with Wade Hampton, ami we will iill the chas'n u we have to thiow in all the old leaders who strive to keep sectional strie alii've." lie said he did not think the mom y question was the all-absorbing one. The question of transportion was. in his opinion, more important. 1: was through these transportation lines, where the farmers had to pay freights to cover the interest on watered stocks several times the amount of the orginal cost of the roads, that the money of the farmers was sucked up. if vicious legislation was to be permitA#*ai^ stand, and railroads-..iiu-^KTsiiiidate wealth.it would do little good to increase the circulating medium v.nh the idea of helping the farmer, for it would all go at once back ::>*o the pockets of the monopolists.

It is reported t:iat he was ?i veil jW lashes, but it is put down as an ex aggeration. The story, as obtained by a News reporter last night, from passengers on : the delayed Columbia Greenville j train, was that a daughter oi' Jones Duckworth, a well known farmer living about a mile from W'illiamston, found Wei born under her bed when she went to her room to retire for the night. The young lady screamed loudly and alarmed her father and his family, .Mr. Duckworth ran up stairs to his daughter's room, thinking that the house was on are. As he reached the second story he met \Velborn coming down the steps! He supposed that the negro had also heard the young lady's screaming and had gone to sec what was the matter, and did not learn the real trouble until his daughter had told him of her discovery. Welborn was in the employ of .Mr. Duckworth, and as the young "lady and I htr father knew him it was little trouble j to capture him. lie made a confession J that lie had stolen into the house unobi served and had intended to commit an | outrage. : Ie had even gone so far as to rear pieces of a blanket to gag the young lady if she made an outcry.

The Legislature oi Smth Carolina has formally accepted ihe appropriation for this Slate, and passed an Act dividing the amount equally between the Clcmson College and the Clalliu College. Governor Tillman early in January wrote Secretary Noble a letter, giving ihe Secretary all the information desired. In reply to the Governor the Secretary replied as follows on January 31st: "I have the honor to acknowledge the receipt of your letter of the 24th iust. endorsing a certified eopv of au Act of your Legislature accepting the provision of the Act approved August .'>0, 1800. making appropriation lor an agricultural college (colored) and the Ciemson Agricultural College (white.) The school population, according to tlie latest count on tile in this ofiice (that of 1$S0) is 35.9 per cent white and C?4.1 per cent, colored. I am of the oph.ion that the requirement for an equitable division of this fund between institutions for the (Kn rwn mmic will hr-. mpt. I UUULUUUU SJ1 OUV> CMV/ x ."V? by dividing the same iu the said ratio of the school in this case. Very respectfully. John W. Xoble, Sccrctar\." ? Answering the Secretary, Governor Tillman wrote on February 10 as follows: **A reply to your letter of .Tauu'ar} .?>1 lias been delayed by illness. The question as to what would be a 'just and equitable' division as between our while an : colored agricultural and mechanical colleges of the fund appropriated by ! Conirress last year is, so far as this State is concerned, no longer an open 1 one. Our Legislature has acted a ml adjourned, and will not meet au'am before November, so 1 have no power in the premises. Please let me know whether you refuse to pay South Carolina her quota upon the basis proposed by the General Assembly, and if so, I whether you insist that the school popu' * " ? ' 'i - -I' 1 lation as snovvu. uy me ceusus >n iccu instead of 1S90 shall govern. "I will call j-our attention further lo these facts: Over SO per cent of the school tax in South Carolina is paid by the whites, while the negroes receire the benefit of over half o? it. Second, t!:e relative demand for collegiate education, for which Congress provided, bears 110 relation to the relative numbers of the two races. Third, your refusal to allow this money to be divided as the Legislature has ordered, will cripple the colored college very seriously, because, relying 0:1 this fund, it has already entered upon enlargements of its teaching force ucd facilities, which will have to be stopped. While the Clemson College (white) is not yet in operation, and can easily await an appeal to Congress next December. I ask you. then, to weigh your actions well before doing anything to injure our colored college. I am very respectfully, 1J. R. Tinman. Governor." Secretary Xoble lias not yet replied to 1 tllC JIDUVC. V.rOVCruui" J-iiWiiau caRi, Unit according to lii.s information, the apportionment of the fund in West Virginia, is made on the basis of one-third for the colored people and two-thirds for the white people, the exact ratio ot the school population. The following letter of Governor Tillman to Governor Xorthen, of Georgia, shows him how the tliiu^ works: "Our General Assembly divided the money appropriated in 1890, by Congress, for agricultural and mechanical colleges equally between the white and negro schools, and when I so notified Secretary Noble, he replied: the requirement for an equitable division of this fund will be met by dividing the same in the ratio of the school population. He further mentions the census of lS^O. with a relative proportion of 04 per cent colored and 30 per cent white, as a proper basis of division. As I understand it, the Georgia Legislature divided the fund upon the basis of school population. and Mr. Noble demands that the negroes shall receive Hall, so' we lind that he wishes to make South Carolina just what Georgia lias done and jet object to Georgia's actions, and further that he wants to take the school population as the basis of apportionment by the census ot 1SS0 iustead of that of 1*90 which shows the white population 01 OUl' OLltlC LU nu\u ^aiiiuu while the negroes have gained very little. lie appears to ignore the fact that nearly all of the school taxes in the South are paid by the whiles, while the relative demand lor higher education as between the races bears no relation to their numbers, ami that by the division proposed in South Carolina or in Georgia the negroes will receive more than an equitable' share of the Congressional giant. As our Legislature has adjourned there is nothing for mc to do except to insist upon his accenting its action, and in the event of his refusal, to appeal to Congress at its next session."

Cincinnati, Ohio, March 7.?The Ohio liiver to-day received the ashes of Professor Wilhelm Stell'en, of Louisville, Kenlucky, according to the provisions of his own will, lie directed that his executors should convey his body to Cincinnati, have it cremated, and then consign the ashes into the waters of the Ohio River. In accordance with his will, Anton Kutzien, representing me executors, had the body cremated, and the ashes, in a porcelain urn, were delivered to him to-day. Taking a cab he drove to the wharf, where he chartered a skil'f and was towed out to the middle of the current. There he cast into the water the ashes of the late professor. The ceremony was as simple as could be made and was carried out without attracting publicity. The Horse ISsilkcd.

To this end i safest lor the cottuu belt, at least, a conference between Alliance officials in conjunction with the officials of otl:er agricultural associations at some convenient point f-r the c asideration ot a wise and remunerative cropping, and, if tins meets your approbation, I wish you to call a conference and recpicst the proper ollicial of other State organizations to join you in the call.
