The following extracts from the Columbia Register will show how that paper feels about some of the Reform methods. It sa\s: "If many dele gate? to the State Reform Convention were elected by methods a? rotten as those used in Charleston, no- true Reformer in the State will have any respect or will consider himself bound by its action." * * * Sheriff Hugh Ferguson, the boss ringster of Charleston, could learn lessons in political manipulations from W.

East Wateree, august i?.?aiosi of onr tarmers arc beginning to doubt very moth whether the cotton crop will bo as great as was at one time an- j tieipated. Owing to the cool late I spring, together with the tlrv weather, which continued well up in the summer, the growth of the weed wa< very much retarded, and on the first of July was exceedingly small and apparently a month late. Later the rains set in, and the crop responded promptly, and j continued to do all that could be de-1 sired lor about a month. The rapid growth and perfect development which the ciop attained during this tim sc-'ined to h ive intoxicated the farmer* with >uch delight 'hat the ieport> [ which followed were exaggerative be-1 \ond all reason. They seem to have I lo*? ontrol of the fact that this devel- j opment was necessary to b. ing the I crop up to the average.

Tiif. News and Herald reporter took passage for Monticello with Mr. Wilson, candidate for Congress from this district, on last Saturday to attend the campaign meeting. We j reached the historic town of Monticello a little after V2 o'clock, just in time to see (lie first of the drill of the Fairfield Kifle Guards. This company, under the efficient management of its Captain T. M. Jordan, has made wonderful progress since its organization and reflects great credit on him and the members also. At the conclusion of the drill the crowd repaired to a grove about one j handled yards from the heart of the ! tewn where a stand was erected. Mr. Jno. \V. Lyles at the request of Chairman Kabb, presided over the meeting. The first speaker introduced was Hon. Stanyarn Wilson, of Spartanburg. lie proceeded by saying that he would not discuss his own merits nor the demerits of his opponents. People are concerned in the issues of the day; and the public is familiar with his course in the legislature and he felt that his labors in Washington would be more valuable to the people than his labors in Columbia. It had been said of him that - ! he was 110 Alliancernan. He regretted 1 that he was not, but the fault was not j Ills, he should not be held responsible] for not being a member when the very ! constitution of the order forbade him. He had done all he could for the order and as much as any other man had done who is wot a member. And it is only olHce seekers who urge this point against him?not members of the order. He said that there were s me men who would not be sati-tied with anything, do all you can and all that! is expected of yoa and some fellow wili call for more. lie said it was impossible to discuss i*sties in the Stale campaign on account of personalities. But our people need national legislation, legislation which wili put all classes 011 equal footing? lhat a few men prosper at the expense of the masses of the country. Depression o:: business is not due to lack of energy, our people work early and late, "tiev live on little, as the merchants' books will prove. He did not believe in Ibis "before the war" argument. Tlie people are just as industrious now as then, but the conditions are against them. True enough the South prospered before tt.e war; now the North and East prosper. Congress had caused the depression of one section and the upbuilding of another. The trouble bad its origin in 1862. The supply of gold and silver would-' not keep up the war expense. -five hundred million dollars of paper money was issued; on ! t xception in this bill caused this ^vrf. An article j incorporated in the-bill said this paper i money was leg^i "tender for all debts except interest on bonds and payment of imgorc duty. Paper money was 'hereby robbed?paper money " went down in value one dollar being only worth 49 ceuts. Gold a-al silver went up. Then came the Treasury Itescrve Bi.., gold set aside to redeem paper UlUIiV}. A" aiiu uv iiiv. ibcuui^vivii act, paper money burnt and 100 million put into bonds Stagnation set in; in ?6A the present national banking system was enacted- From 'Go to '~o this government took 163 million acres of the pecples land and gave it to railroad companies to connect East and West?4,COO acres per mile of road, the government guaranteed the interest on the bonds. He dwelt some on the tariff. The crime of crimes was the demonetization of silver in 1S7;>. Silver should be on a parity with gold. There should be m? discrimination in value and the people needed such legislation which deal* fair to all not in favor of a particular section and against another. The scarcity of money j throws men out of employment, causes | strikes, the cure offered is a presi-1 dential proclamation. It is legislation the country needs. The Democratic party is pledged to parity of #oid and silrer at the mint, and tariff reform gets these aud the profits of the people back from the railroads, and we will return to that condition of prosperity which existed before 18G2. Mr. "Wilson was listened to attentively and remained until after dinner when he took the train at Dawk ins for Spartanburg. COUNTY OFFICERS. Capt. McMeekin, candidate for reeled ion as treasurer, was introduced first. He was quite unwell and his voice very weak, fie took the ground that he wa* not a candidate in the strict meaning of the word at the outset, but only consented to the demand made on him by his faction. And his tenor was, that while he had served two terms, and while this is the stipu ated termination according to Reform ideas, stall, the term was only two years and he thought it nothing but fair that the terms should be equalized by the number of years, and asked to be reappointed. If defeated he would still hold to his principles and hear-ilv support them as heretofore. FOR THE LEGISLATURE. Mr. W. L. Rosborough was the first candidate for the Legislature, lie was glad to sue the ladies out; they compel pcaci; by their presence, and regretted they were not wore numerous in the Sia'e campaign. Some people say there is no honor in s:oing to the ; Legislature. That depends uiit?r:ly on the conduct of the member ?h:Sfi there, lie would like to kn >w tliej view of the people on a great many subject.?. Fie was thete to express his views and answer any questions; would support the ticket even though his political head went into the p?. iticel wa>te basket The people h*ve l wn <i^r>i^rpd in national legislation They need education in order t > see j what is in their favor and wlnt is against them. He referred tu Clemson ! as a monument of "reform"; also th" | college at I'ock Hill. Ninety-nine j eH cei.t of the 400 at Clemson would I today be between the plow hand e- t n: j for (Jettison. The country n-"-d<d! lower taxes; they were hard pushed to i pay the tnere pittance in the pr< si-nt j impoverished condition. The ?duc.i-1 ti<>iial structuie of the State is top-! heavv. He wanted the c immon school ! sxsti'in improved; thevare the foundst- { lion ai d must l>? tm.a:l enough to build ! iustiaitions of higher learning on. The j iiiirlie;* schools were vet out ot reach of many students in ths State. lit;: had no matured plan to offer, but wa> in favor of some plan (o brin<r the com ji.on schools up and have them well attended. The reform movement was j p!edc<l to support the South Carolina (N>l!fg.\ He <iid not see where they ! coul.i lop off any expense, but if any I institution must g> it should t>c the C tadel. Fie wa? not at present pre- i pared to say it should go, however, i but something must be done. He asked I for an expression on the lien law ? called for one of those now famous j hand primaries: "All in l'avor of tepealing the lieu law hold up your hands;" but the crowd looked like they were voting at one of Butler's 3 * r v , 4 s? ) O - ^ ^ hand piintaries, not a single hand we:.I up. "So,"' lie said, "1 see you do not want to repeal the lien law. I will, therefore, bs the last one to repeal it." He ih'iiightthe present members should be rubbed a little for not voting directly for prohibition. It wa? carried by a lar^imuj >rity in our county. But lie had becomc s) much in favor of the law :mw- tlr.t ho would not insist ?>n the "i It was in his opinion the bist toluiio : ?>f the wliiskc-v question) and he now f .vors i:. He wanted Butler letdown as easy a? possible, as lie thought Tillman in touch with the people, and would have to let the old soldier go easily iljwn. He favored the constitutional convention. Was in lor peace and harmony. The Conservatives expect no compromise of princples, "so let us agree to disagree if we can't do better, and let all abuse and har.-h language cea>.e. Let the newspapers stop muddying the water?, pour oil on the troubled waters and come together once more." He was h ?nest in saying tliut t.c had never uttered a har.-h word or penned an unkind expression against any conservative in his life. Mr. \V. J. Johnson was then intror?_ .r.-.. liriMaoL uuceu.

He thought Larry Gantt must have gotten hold ol' his speech and gave it to Wilson. lie thought national issues should be discussed; the people should bo familiar with them. Uongte.'S had not done its duty, and the people should be informod. Cleveland was baskin? Congress. He discussed the tariff, the money question and pensions. He discussed the State administration, defended its nets and point-d out iis accomplishments.

We regret we have no stenographer | 011 our stall' which prevent-* us from j giving Mr. Johnson's speech in full. For we believe anyone would he glad tu read it who wants to hear an open, earnest discussion of this niomentus subject. Mr. Johnson spoke in 111?* Court House to a crowd collected to hear him. He opened his remarks by saying that lie felt duty bound to express fully and freely his views on the money question. That he would speak ! plainly and to the point. He said that! the money question was one which all had a deep interest in and the future de, ends on the proper solution of this gieat problem Money is sought after by nil, labored for by men or :t;i trades or professions, by hand aiul br.. in. What is money ? Money is a medium of exchange, a measure of values. It j measures all human labor and all hu- j man sacrifices. Money makes all j things equal: it measures all things, j Money h bought and sold like any. oilier commodity. The supply and | demand fixes the price of money. If : the government makes moncv plentiful, it is cheap: if scarce it is high In 1*70 five pounds of lint cotton paid your poll tax; in il tuok litteen pounds of cotton tu pay your poll tax. j Til* /Ir?ll.n? nfiir! rlif> ivill fav in 1*70 I v" 1 - - ; ! and the dollar paid it i:i 1*9.'}.

That which makes the product of labor cheap brings hard times. When louked into, the figures du not say over-producti ?n d?cs it, or the inventi-n of new machinery n<ed in making ?rops, it is not so.^ Few realiz: that the appreciation' currency depreciates the value of. labor. Experience proves facts. Xo contraction?plenty of money. The amount of money needed depends on the cond'li^n and character of the people. The amount of money necessary to do business amongst the negroes in Africa could not begin to be suflicient for the same i.umber of people in our country. Increased business ne?ds increased means to do business. The supply must come to the demand. What is honest money? Money is a measure of value. 50 pounds is a bushel of corn. If you owe Mr. A one bushel and before it is due the government makes a law declaring 112 pounds to be a bushel the value is changed after eon'.ract and the law would be very unjust. That is the way with the money law. The government should keep the volume up to meet the demands of business. The Democratic party is by hi-tory and platform a free silver party. From 1893 to the J_l+ieag6 platform Congress sto^J-rtCrTby the record in favor^oMrce silver and the Senate by _i4-? record stood S to 1. This makes the Democratic policy favor free silver. Gold and silver by Democratic principle i-s held to be ]o<ral tender for a.I debt- without discrimination. Free coinage means money made out of bu'Iion, without cost of mintage. Value exists in the mind?that is what you regard a:i article worth. Commercial value is the mintage value, that is what it is worth at the mint. France, by iaw, in do a silver dollar worth $1.32; for a period of time the silver dollar was worth Sl.32 because France woul ! allow that for it: this \V;'.s an act of law. If gold was demonetized it would depreciate the same as silver ha- done. Weil take this proposition, suppose I he United States (iovernmenr. should sav nothing but \ellow horses should he used in this country, what would a white or a black or any other than a yellow horse bo worth? Don't you know tlicy would go down in price if yon ejuld not lind a purchase* Well the law said nothing but yellow metal would be used and the white metal went down. The Act of 1873?the demonetization t.f tlie white metal? was the crime of all crimes by this government. They destroyed the demand for silver and it made a demand for gold. If both metals wore equal in value less cotton would liny more money than at present. You ask how you would get more m mey if Uie volume was increased, why you would buy it with your labor, by just such efforts as you get money now. All money is the creation of law. A dollar measures all future obligations. The mines act as an automatic regulator of the money market, it is slow and tedious digging for gold and silver and nature made it so in order that there should be no sudden increase in volume and.corresponding decrease in value.

Avhen it is remembered that a serious injury to the spinal cord will cause paralysis of the body below i.'ie injured point, because the nerve force is prevented by the injury from reaching the paralyzed portion, it will be understood how the derangement of the nerve'centers will cause the derangement of the various organs which they supply with nerve force. Two-thirds of chronic diseases are due to the imperfect a.ction of the nerve centers at the base of the brain, not from a derangement primarily originating in the organ itself. The great mistake of physicians in treating these diseases is that they treat the organ rather than the nerve centers which are the cause of the trouble. Die. I'nasklmt Miles, the celebrated spccia!i:-r.has profoundly studied this subject for over 20 years, and has made many important discoveries in connection with'it, chief among t hem beinir the facts contained in the above statement, and that the ordinary methods of treatment are wrong. All headache, dizziness, dullness, confusion, pressure, blues, mania, melancholy, insanity, epilepsy, St. VI dance, etc.. are nervous diseases no matter how caused. The wonderful success of?

We have had a superabundance of rain since n:y last communication; more than at any previous time during the year. The ground is so wet at present writing that one can scarcely get about to sec how the crops look. Cotton is looking line, although it is running most too much to weed; it is commencing to shed some in sandy lands; this is on account of the overplus of rain. Corn also looks line, especially so on lowlands, creek bottom?, etc. Upland corn, too, has comc out wonderfully, places that looked during June and July as if the seed wouldn't be made back now has line corn on it. as fine as has been in years From present indications this section will not need much, if any Western corn another year. Mr. W. I). Tidwell, who is one of our \ oungest farmers, lias a line crop this year., lie has thirteen acres of co:ton from which lie expects to gather ten bales of cotton. lie also has a line corn crop; fouv acres especially so.
