Wednesday, May 23. : : : :
Governor Tillman comes very near
beiDg an "anti" on some points In
his Alliance letter.
Senator Irbt has called th j State
Democratic Executive Committee to
meet on the 7th of June.
"The one essential point uii wuicn
I differ with the Alliance is the leiiding
of inonev to the people."?Cop. Tillman.
Tue friends and subscribers of the
Columbia State on this road appreciate
its enterprise. It reaches us for breakfast.
Gov. Tillmak say#: "I am unalterably
opposed to the government lending
rno?ey to anybody." G?od-bye,
sweetheart, snb-treasurv!

Court it is the ditty of the Council to
pass and enforce just such an ordinance
as they passed on Wednesday.
'*1 doubt the wisdom or practicability
of the government owning and
running Jill the railroads, telegraph
and telephone lines."? Gov. Tillman.

In fact, we hare no idea of supporting
Botler, thongh wc may not support
Tillman.
G#v. Tillman has dared to tell the
Alliance taey are inconsistent, asking
for the abolition of national banks and
then tarniag right round and asking
for the same privilege that the banks
have.
/ m m
Gov. Tillmax has lost bis trademark
case in the Court of Appeals?
tne last report, xms i^ourc rrueu. tnai,
it had no jurisdiction in the matter,
consequently the decision of the Supreme
Court stood.
Gov. Tillman has ordered a Court
Martial for the 4th Brigade in Char!
leston. The Court consists of Gen.
It. N. Richbonrg, Gen. E. J. Dennis,
Col. "Wylie Jones and Capt. J. T.
Barron. They will meet in Charleston
on the 22nd of May.
"W. D. Evans has withdrawn from
the race fcr Governor. It is now between
John Gary Evans and Ellerbe.
It is a very comforting thought that
many of us have nothing to do with it.
It is strictly a -''Reform" fight, and we
presume that it will be fought to a
finish by "Reformers."
We are very much afraid that when
the Senate shall have finished tinkering
with the tariff bill, not much of
"tariff reform'' will be found in it.
It will be very hard to convince the
country in "9G that a few treacherous
Democrats are responsible. The country
-will hold the party itself respon
sible for what is done.
Mr. T. J. LaMotte, one of the
members of the prohibition executive
committee, has made a public statement
in which he says that the prohibitionists
are thoroughly organized
4 lftWf *f? /I 1V
IV/ dCC luai tuu law id I y guxvi^U'
They have perfected organizations in
Sumter, Lancaster and Columbia to
observe all they can and get evidence
of the violation of ihe law.
We should like very much to see the
charge of the existence of a corruption
fund in Washington to prevent the
passing of the tariff bill investigated
It is true the beneficiaries of the McKinlev
bill could easily afford to pay
very large sums to secure doubtful
notes, and we do not believe that many
of them are too good to do it. Demo
crats, -who vote against the bill, will
expose themselves to suspicion.
The Greenville News need not lose
any sleep over Mr. T. P. Mitchell's
questions to Governor Tillman. The
first reply ot the Governor to Mr.
Mitchell was an artful dodge. He
thought, lam Alpha and Omega, but
Mr. Mitchell made him come down off
that high pinnacle?however, though..
after being compelled to snow msnana.
He just caught the Alliance "about
midway and beat head and heels together,
held it up between him and the
son and pointed out the black spots or
it. We don't know who will come out
on top this time, but we believe the
Governor will still have the boys in
hia breeches packet.
senator Harris, who nas oeen |
railroading the remnant of the "Wilson
bill through the Senate, says that taxes
will be collected unier the bill Jaly 1,
when the next fiscal year will begin.
This bill is miscalled a tariff bill for
revenne only. It is a significant fact
that the Senate, although Democratic,
has been a great impediment to the
/v C )\AmAAMAf'A mootnrfle
pillage Ul i/rmuusiii/ uiwuiw.
Representative Wilson and his fellowcommitteemen
in the House spent
much time and labor or the bill, and
when they had finished we believe that
they had succeeded in framing a bill
which would have met with tbe general
approval of the people, under the
existing circnmscances. The Senate
would uot take it as it stood, and we
fear its action will imperil Democratic
success in '96.
"We do approve of the coursc of the
women of Lexington, Ky., in passing
resolutions protesting against the reelection
of Col. Breckenridge, and we
think that the propriety of sncli action
on the part of women very questionable.
They can accomplish their purpose
without holding mass meetings
and discussing the cause of their protest,
and at the same time not compromise
their modesty. The Brecken
ridge-Pollard case is not a proper subject
for ordinary conversation even
among women, and certainly not between
men and women. It is said that
young ladies decline to walk on the
streets with young men, who wear
Breckenridge badges. We do not see
how a yourg lady could decline to be
joined by a young mau with a Breck
enridge badge without some reference
to the subject. It seems to us that
these women can easily ostracise
Colonel Breckenridge and his friends
without exposing themselves to a debate
on the outrageous conduct of the
Colonel. They can insist upon their
"fathers, husbands and brothers not to
countenance his course by refusing to
vote for him. They can easily mauage
to boycot him from society, and in a
quiet way they can do more to prevent
bis re-election than by such public
demonstrations as that he'd in Lex"ino-fcon
a few davs a^o. We are not
surprised that these women should be
incensed and are anxious that Breckenridge
shall not be seemingly condoned
by a nomination and re-election,
but their recent conduct smacks too
much of the course that the women
suffrage crowd would pursue under
I similar circumstances. Lei th-.m preI
test, but let it be done privately and
: with becoming modesty.
Butler's Letter.
Senator Butler has succeeded in writwriting
about as smart a letter as
Governor Tillman did.
He is willing io discuss any public
question "the people may desire to
have discussed," and will, therefore,
discuss the finances of the country in
his senatorial campaign this summer.
He doesn't quite understand whether
the Alliance wants him to defend "the
finances of the country against the
enemies of your (their) order, or the
finances of the country as proposed by
the Alliance."
He has a great deal to say as to the
pledge of loyalty to the demands of
the National Farmers' Alliance and
Industrial Union above leyally to
to party caucus and vote against any
and all candidates who decline to commit
themselves to this extent. Neither
he nor Governor Tillmau have anything
to say abont voting against candidates
who do not swallow this pledge. The
Senator says that he has never in his
political life allowed any caucus "to
bind his conscience," and he will
never do so in the future. This is
about the substance of what he says on
the subject, and is a pretty g.od straddle.
Coming to the demands, he steers
clear of the sub-treasury admirably by
saying that he understands the demand
for that plan has b.*en abandoned, aud
for "the-something-bcter" he thinks
the repeal of the tax on S ate banks
fiUs the bill. We agr^e with him on
this. It would give us a flexible currency.
abundance of ir, and we would
have a money centre wherever we had
State bauks. In this respect, we like
the Senator's letter.
He favors the land demand.
lie opposes the gavernmen', owniug
and controlling railroads, etc., and
Droves the unwisdom of it plainly.
He favors the free abd unlimited
coinage of fcilver at the ratio of 16 to 1.
Taken as a whole it 19 a very good
, letter, bat like Governor Tillman's we
do not see how the Allianca can be
satisfied with it.
Gordon on Coxey.
Senator Gordon, in his speeo'- in the
Senate on the Allen-Coxey resolutions,
made a telling point against the new
ideas of government which are being
? ' J ? it. l!?i 3
aavocaiea oy me rupuusis auu wcaiaites.
He sai J:
It appeared to him to teach a lesson
wbicii Senators might wisely, and
gravely ponder- The movement had
its inspiration in paternalism?in that
theory of government which if indulged
in would increase the large
brood of similar movements and intensify
the demands of that class of
poor people in Congress for relief.
Strangely enough the movement had
its origin in one of the great central,
populous, progressive States of the
Union. Divisions and corps were
moving on the Capitol from every
quarter of the compass save the South.
That was a marvelous fact. The reasou
of the isolation of the South was
not the absence of poverty there?for
the people of the South were still poor;
it was not the abundance of currency
there for in point of fact there was a
great dearth of circulating medium
among them; it was not because that
people had beeu supplied with pensions
or with bounties to their industries.
The overshadowing reason was
that the war and its lessons had taught
that people (though the most relentless
of all task masters) the necessitv of
iL
reiyujjr uu men* umi uiauuwu?ujc
necessity of relying not on the government,
but on their own right arms.
The remedies which he suggested for
the present condition of tbings were
two: First, io decentralize the genera!
government as much as possible and
empower the States to deal with it;
and second, to decentralize the currency,
repeal ike 10 per cent tax on
State banks aud enable the States to
have currency supplied by their own
a? f t
Coxevism is the result of the paternal
policy of the general government
inaugurated and fastened on the people
by the Republican party. Bounties,
pensions and protective tariffs have
taught the people to look to the government
for help and not to rely upon
their own manhood. Paternalism has
fostered certain business far beyond
the demand for them. It has created
false and unnatural conditions which
cannot last and are only maintained
HBHHBIMBBnBaHaBlHniBHBaOBMHB
dy me grant or special privileges, n
has enabled the manufacturer to become
a tax gatherer and the miner a
bounty-grabber. A prosperity depending
upon these conditions cannot
be abiding. Certain classes cannot
control all the privileges all the time,
and the riarger comes when the unprivileged
class realize that they are
being consumed i>y the privileged
nluic XrpiiKf thnt pprtain classes have
O
been made rich by the aid of the govcaument
it is perfectly natural that
the Coxeyites should demand help teo
if the function of the government is to
take care of special classes. Why not
the Coxevites or laborers as well as the
manufacturers and miners? Paternalism
leads surely to waning and contending
factions struggling for the
possession of the government for selfish
purposes; to make it a grab-bag
with uotie to deteiiniue the >iz3 of the
grab.
Another lesson is that Uoxeyism
come-> from the State which has for its
Governor, McKiuley, the high priest
of protection.
TIIE COLOJRADA BEETLEThere
is no doubt that the vanguard
of the great pest of ravagers of potatse
fields is upon us.
For several days past our gardeners
have been perplexed by the appearance
upon their potatoe vines of an un'
known and destructive insect, which
upon examination proves to do me
Colorado potatoe beetle, or entomological
ly speaking the Dorypliora decern
Linsala.
First discovered and reported in the
far West, he has reversed the course of
human migration and turned his -head
eastward, traveling three hundred and
sixty miles in six years or sixty miles
per annum, which brought him some
years ago to the Northern Atlantic
States. How we have escaped his
destructive presence thus far it is difficult
to saw But he?is here and some
idea may be formed of his possibilities
of mischief, where it is stated on cmi
nent authority tnat "me result 01 u
single pair, if allowed to increase
without molestation, would in one
season amount to over sixty millions."
"The perfect insect'-* or beetle is described
by the Entomologist of the
Agricultural Department in Washington,
as "about half an inch in length,
of a tbick oval shape, and of a yellowish
cream c?lor, with ten black lines
running lengthwise down the wing
covers?fire on each side."
* *? * i ^ iL.
xne remaie aeposus ner eggs l? me
number of from 700 to 1200 on the
yorng leaves of the potato. The
Larva, in which form they appear in '
our potatoe patches and commit their
ravages "hatch out in a few days and
feed from 17 to 20 days" when they
"bury themselves in the earth where '
they remain as papas and emerge in
10 or 12 days as perfect beetles to deposit
more eggs for a second generation."
"There are said to be three
broods annually in Missouri and Illinois,
the last brood remaining under '
ground all winter and appearing as 1
perfect beetles the foolowing spring." ;
He is not sufficiently numerous as
yet to materially affect the spring crop ;
which will be matured before he is
reinforced by a second generation, !
I but he will assuredly assail in inultiI
plied force the fall crop.
The Larva in which state we see
him is described as follows: "At first
dark reddisn brown, but becomes paler ;
and brightens as it matures. The head
is black, and it has a ring of black on ;
the fi-st segment of its body and two
rows of black spots on each side." 1
I hare not succeeded in finding the
perfect beetle,, and if any of the readers
of this will leave a specimen in
your office I will be glad to see it. It '
will be recognized by the description ;
above.
Remedies.?Paris green or London i
parple seem to be specifics and safe of ;
use with prudence.
The authority from which I have
quoted says: "In summing up ail the ;
evidence on the subject of remidies, it
appears that hand picking-, especially ;
very early in the season, when the in- ;
sects first appear, and before they have ;
had time to iav their eggs is highly
advantageous," and that the use of ;
Paris green is recommended by the
best authorities; but that when using
this dangerous poison the greatest care
should be taken when dusting the ;
plants that none of it is carried by the ;
wind on the person of tlie operator, <
or on any neighbors fruit, vegetables,
or forage crops, ana mat it snouia De
mixed with at least ten to twelve parts
of flour, plaster or some other material, ;
and that an overdose is apt to kill the
plants, besides leaving a residum in
the soil which may prove injurious to ;
the crops."
Mr. Geo. II. Stahl. of Qiincy, I 1.,
in a pamphlet on insects, &c., says:
"The best remedy for this pest is
London purple or * Paris green using "
one pound of the poison to 200 gallons
of water" and used as a spray.

since our last has been visited
with refreshing showers, which is tell

couon generally, auu uuui lousing unc
and in line condition and from the absence
of fanners from our town, we
judge they are bent on keeping their
crops in good condition. We trust
they may ii#*he end be compensated
for their labor by an abundant crop
and a fine price.
Improvements still going 011 111 our
town. Friend Ileins is adding to his
residence, which will certainly add to
the appearance of his building. Who
will be the next to build? We hear of
one lot that has changed hands lately,
and supposed the purchaser intends
building thereon in the near future.
Notwithstanding the severe freeze,
beans, green peas, Irish potatoes, &c.,
may be seen on the tables of our town.
The picnic which was to have come
off here for the benefit of the railroad
employees of the II. & D. system, wc
understand, wiil be had at Blvthewood;
when, we have not learned. When it
does come off we have no doubt it will
be a grand affair, for the employees are
numerous. Fine prospect for rain
this afternoon. Hope it may come.
Yesterday and today have been fearfully
warm. Quite a goodly number
of persons in town Wednesday, it
being the day of meeting of the Masonic
lodge liere?first and second degrees
weie conferred, and new applications
for membership. This lodge
has a set of good officers who take
great interest-in the work, and discharge
their duties well.
A decided improvement under the
supervision of Mr. Chevis L. VVray
has been made in front of the Baptist
Church. The sanded pavement and
good roau leading to the church arc
certainly appreciated by all attending
service at the church.

So let it be with the deceased.

Brutus is a liar, and I can prove it.

Which he did thrice refuse, because it

But he is a horse-thief of the deepest

You all do know this ulster.

While the thermometer registering

But it was an ulster to be proud of,
And cost him $7 at Winestock &

Just well up Main street, close by

Old Shams wanted 840 for it.
But finally come down to $7 because it

HE COMMITTED SUICIDE!
The Cause and Its Lesson.
Why did he commit suicide ? Oh! for
the same reason that thousands of others are
on the verge of the same sin, or in immediate
danger of insanity, paralysis, idiocy,
or some other equally unfortunate result of
any nervous affection. He knew he was
afflicted with a nervous disorder, but was

come; or ha may have lessened his chances
for recovery by treating with physicians
who had little or no knowledge of such affections,
or by deluging himself with worthless
so-called remedies. His case was a sad
one, but no worse than that of any other
nervous sufferer, who has nervous or 6ick
headache, biliousness, dizziness, irritability,
melancholy, failing memory, hot flashes,
fainting, sleeplessness, nervous dyspepsia,
6exual debility, epilepsy, etc. The same or
similar consequences are likely to result to
any one who has any of these advance
symptoms of an awful end. Do not hesitate
in getting rid of them by intelligent treatment.
Dr. Franklin Miles, the celebrated
specialist, has studied nervous diseases over
20 years, and has discovered the only reliable
remedy for them. Thousands of voluntary
testimonials prove the virtues of Dr.
Miles' Restorative IServine.
Alonxo Barker.of Clinton, N. Y., writes: "I
was so afflicted with extreme nervousness that
I was on the verge of insanity. My hands trembled
so that I could scarcely feed myself. I used
twelve bottles of Dr. Miles' Restorative Nervina
and was cured. It i3 with pleasure I recommend
thia wonderful remedy for nervous troubles."
" I had been a great sufferer from chronic
headache until I began, about four months ago,
to uso Dr. Miles' Restorative Nervine and Pills,
since which time I have not had a headache.
Several of my friends are using Dr. Miles' Remedies,
and find them, as I did, to be more than
you claim for them."?Mrs. Mary Kister, Los
Angeles, Cal.
w. H. Capwell, editor Tribune, Plymouth, Pa.,
writes: " My wife was cured of sick headache oi
many years' standing by the use of Dr. Miles'
Restorative Nervine. She has recommended it tt
her friends, and they all praise it highly."

Dr. G. C. Osgood,

" Castoria is tho best remedy for children of
which I am acquainted. I hope the day is not
far distant when mothers will consider the real
interest of their children, and use Castoria instead
of the various quack nostrums which are
destroying their loved ones, by forcing opium,
morphine, soothing syrup and other hurtful
agents down their throats, thereby sending
them to premature graves."
