THE HELPLESS FAKMJEB
Hs?-- ?- -
% - Mr. Jno. T. llcKittricfc, we under?stand
has decided not to sell another
bale of cotton for IC35 than 7 cent?.
And he wants to know how many of
his brother farmers in the Sontb *111
join him in this determination. There
is no donbt if all the cotton growers of
*v,? CrtntVi TfrinM thfi samp thinff it
cue UV/Ui.U II VVUM v*v .MW 0
would not be thirty days before 7
cents a pound would be paid for
cotton. Aud it would only be a
question of time, and a very short
time, before cotton would be worth
7 cents and there would be demand
for it. If we had it in onr power we
would issue an order today that not
another pound of cotton be sold for
less than 7 cents, and it it were ooeyea
tbe price would very soon go to 7
cents. And if i one were sold for less
when there became a surplus the production
would be decreased and the
farmers would plant something else.
There is no money to be made in this
country raising cotton for less, especially
when the money to produce the
crop has to be borrowed or the supplies
bought on a lien. The trouble
is the farmers will not unite and at
present are in no condition to do so,
if they were inclined. If, however,
the crop was not spent before it was
made they would De masters oj me
situation. ?Newberry Herald and Neois.
If every farmer was able to do as
Mr. McKittrick proposes to do, cotton
would soon bring 7 cents. But
the trouble is that the vast majority of
farmers are forced to sell ^their cotton
to meet debts. They should farm
$nd plau with the view of selliDg
their cotton when they were ready.
They can't do this unless th?v plant
stmaLhtnsr rbesidcs cotton. This they
will bave to do because with only
G-cents cotton, it is only a question of
time when utter mln must come. No
merchant can sell his gwds b?low cost
forever without bankrupting himself
in the end, When it eosts more than
6 cents to make cotton, the farmer
must draw on his reserve capital if be
1-1 1 A
na3 any until it is 'siajiusieu, &uu
when h3 ha3 no reserve capital, the
"jig is up." The Herald and News is
right whim it says, "The trouble i8
the farmers will not unite and at
present are in no condition to do so,
if ih;y were inclined. If, however,
the crop was not spent before it was
made they would be masters of the
situation."
JdlDWTN !<'. A iJELL, eoitor oi tne t>3 timore
Sua, left the Democratic party,
^ and gave as his reason for doing so
that hs could not follow the leadership
of Senator German, ? d that if it were
not for Gorman's p.rsonal ambition
and selfish purpose?, be would restore
his paper to its wonted strong support
of the Democratic parly. Seaator
Gorman has written him an open let
ler saying that he would retire from
politics and bury his political aspirations,
if Abell would oome back to the
Democratic party. This is a bold,
shrewd card that Gorman is playing,
and whatever may be his motive, we
cannot withhold our admiration. If
ho believes that Abell will accept the
condition, then we can discover no

motive lor uie jeuer uiaim&iested
patriotism. If he believes that
Abell will decline the condition, then
Gorman's boldcess in risking such a
thing is worthy of admiration. Such
letters are ao rare in these days that
this one will likely excite considerable
interest. Whatever Abell may do
about it, Gorman is a stronger man
if\v ViOT-incr -nrritfen thft letter.
It seems, without considering the
question thoroughly, that the constitution
is in the way of those cities
trying to impose a license on original
package stores. The constitution says
fho ofonftval neiAmhlv shall not
mv DV"V.-. - - J
delegate to any municipal corporation
the po-^er to issue licenses to sell" alcoholic
beverages. We presume that
those who take the position that municipalities
have the right to charge a
license ?base their opinion upon the
ground -that the constitutional inhi
bition is against the issuance 01 permits
to sell alcoholic liqaors, that the
towns do not grant the privilege or
permission to sell," bat aa&kes the
charge of a license a3 a mere incident
of the selling. We think lhat they lose
sight of the fact that where original
package stores exist they have the
s&metrights as the dispensaries, and
have to be regulated in the same way
Towns carisot charge a license for
a dispensary. Then can original
packages be made to pay the license?
We remember to have noted the
successful management of the 2Torth
Carolina penitentiary a year or so ago.
Oar recollection is that it made a little
better showing than the South Carolina
penitentiary. The Populists do
not seem to have kept up the Demo
cratic record. The Chsrlotte Observer
says:
The Auditor of this State says that
the penitentiary cannot be made selfsustaining.
The penitentiary has
proven perhaps the most perplexing
problem in the past goyernment of
Korth Carolina, and yet Superintendent
Leazar, during the lasi Demo
cratic administration of this State,
was proving, if ho had cot already
proved, that with cave and economy
p the institution could bs made practi|
cally to pay its own expenses. It is
so easy for the incompetent gang now
misgoverning the State to say, "Thus
P and so," and in the meantime to tap
the State Treasury or get it tapped so
as to fill their own pockets with the
people's money. Mr. Air is talkiDg

JUSTICE FIELD'S RETIREMENT.
The letter of Justice Ficl'l announcing
his retirement fcom the Supreme
Court of the United "States is fnll of
interest His Judicial life covers a
period of oyer 40 years, and he delivered
opinions in 1,042 cases. He was
appointed by President Lincoln in
1863. At the bead of the conrt was
I Chief Jnstice Taney, and among the
\ aTric<i/?ne was Jnstice Wavne.

who had sat with the great Chief Jusice
Marshall. Daring the lime tbat
Justice Field has been on the bench,
three Chief Jastices and sixteen Associate
Justices have passed away. This
is a remarkable record. Justice Fie:d
j comes from a remarkable family, his
brothers, David Dudley, Cyrus W.
and Henry M., having been men of i
extraordinary ability.
Justice Field, we suppose, will rank |
as a great man, but being a Democrat,
owing his elevation to the bench to the
fact that he was a Democrat, it does
seem that be ought to have retired
while Mr. Cleveland was President,
especially as it appears that he notified
President McKinley in April of his
intention to do so.

and is growicg now at a faster rate
than any place I have seen. * * One
great cause of its prosperity is by
reason ot its location in the midst of a

we profit by the experience of others?
What splendid roads have done for
Montgomery, they will do for "Winusboro.'
"We have no doubt that the
"magnificent farming country" about
Montgomery owes a great2dsal of its
"magnificence"*- to ihe "splendid
roads." Fairfield's farming lands
would become magnificent if we had
"splendid roads." The people must
know this, but they are very slow to
ant nc if thpv did.
Governor Atkinson strongly believes
in the innocence of his wife, and
if ha did not he would deserve the
contempt of everybody* Who3? opinion
is worth anything, for how coald
he have married her if not convinced
of her iuuocence. He charges that
the witnesses for the State testified as
- * _ mL?
they did tor a consideration, ails
long and short of this ease teams that
the grandson of Jndge Camden was
not included ia his grandfather's will.
Oh, how long will onr farmers have
to plough through mud to get their
cotton to market? They have done it
so long that it seems impossible to get
them aroused to the importance of a
chansre. Like six cents cotton, they
have to endure it uniil they are ruined
before they will think of trying some*
! thing better. And when ruined, they
are powerless to help themselves.
Columbia must not expect people
to attend tho State fair unless there is
something to attract them. Attractions
cost money, and Columbia will
have to furnish the money. A city
can not have something for nothing.
Itseemstous that it would pa? the
merchants of the capital city to contribute
liberally to the fair fnud.
Charts A. Dana, the' brilliant
| editor of the New York San, is dead.
I Mr. Dana's English was of the highest
order. lie was a man of the strongest
prejudices. He became a Democrat
because he hated Grant. He became

that he was a Yankee soldier, who was

By Christm&s we hope that Wiunsboro's
population will be 500 more
than at present and by Christmas 1900
it will be 2,000 more, it all depends
apon the success of the cotton factory.

A LONG LIFE ENDED.
Senator Robertson Doad--A Native of

Columbia Record, Oct. 13.
Hon. Thomas J. Robert?on died this
morning at bis handsome home on
Arsenal hilL He was paralyzed about
fifteen years ago aud nerer recovered.
There has been no marked change in
his condition of late. He app.ared to

Mr. Robertson was probably tbu
richest man in South Carolina outside

was spent in Fairfield and Richland
counties, except when official duties
kept him in Washington, where he
served South Carolina as senator for
12 years, from 1888 co 18S0.
Senator Robertson married 3diss
Caldwell, a daughter of John Caldwell,
who was one of Columbia's most
wealthy and progressive citizens, having
been president ot two railroads
and a bank at one time,
Senator Robertson was a larg<.; plaater
and a remarkably successfni business
man. Success" attended aii his
business enterprises, which amassed
him a fortune.
While United States Senator, his
PYfrfinna and infln^nce nrocured the
appropriation for Columbia's handsome
Federal building.
Senator Robertson's widow and two
sous, Messrs. J. C. ai>d E. W. Robertsou,

affairs and are amoug the most
progressive of Coluuih:a's citizens.

SOME FURTHER DETAILS
As to the Tragic Death or Dr. Bratton.
Columbia Register,
The details that have reached his
family, _concerniug the lamented
deaih of Dr. israttou, are sucn as mtensify
the sympathies evoked by the
fact of his tragic end at Sabine Pass
on that sacTaay when his unconscioas
form was discovered in the bold of the
vessel that he was inspecting.
The condact of Dr. Bratton in connection
with the work that ended in a
fatal accident, was in all respects admirable
in the illustration of the' generous
and unselfish and nob'e traits of
his strong and gentle character.
Returning voluntarily to duty, he
had been detailed try the surgeon general
to rake charge of the quarantine
of. Sfthinn Pass. Texas, for the
purpose of excluding from that port
all infected vessels, or if the yellowmonster
had already found lodgment
there, to arrest its ravages if possible.
In obedience to these orders, Dr.
Bratton look charge of the quarantine
and sanitary regulations. Finding
Sabine city free of Ihs scourge, his
next step was to prevent ths entrance
~ r u * Ktt eoo TVv fhij on/l_
VI XL UV lanu auu v}i cva.
it became bis duty to inspect the vessels
in the port. It was while thus
employed ihit his beaatifal career was
c'oscd on earth. His colleague. Dr.
Alagruder, writes how, on the day of
the accident, Dr. Bratton bad made
his inspection of a vessel and had reportH
it free from infection, and how,
as it is supposed, he subsequently returned
to Ronfirm bis impressions?to
make assurance doably saiv?this in
attestation of bis keen sense of duty.
It was two hours after that the captain
of bis launch called for bim, to
find bis body with a cruel wound on
the tfiinnle. and the heroic surgeon
lying in the hold of ihe vessel under
the hatchway, prostrate and unconscious.
It was only a few hours thereafter
when the seal of death was mi his
brow and be lay in the beauty and
dignity which are found impressed
upon the features of the noble dead
who 3re wont in life to treat their
body as the temple of God and to
lead a pure life.
We shall let another praise him?
him who knew JBratton well:
Dr. Magruder, in writing: to his
friends ia this city says: "It rarely
occurs to mc to record with such real
sorrow, as I now do, the death of Dr.
Brattou. I had seen him only two
days previously and he had expressed j
himself as delighted to be able to re
turn to his post at a time when his i
services were so much needed, and
felt confident of his entire restoration j
to health within a short period; and j
was in the best ot spirits over tae sac-1
cessfal development of his pet scheme, i
of establishing a sanitarium in the salubrious
climate of Albuquerque, N.
M., for invalids in the military, naval
and ^revenue marine services of the
United States government. There
wis never a man who merited and enj
>yed more the confidence and esteem
of his official family and fellow man
than did Dr. Bratton. I regard this
cutting off in ?li3 prime of his manhood
a calamity "
It were unneccsssry to add more to
the tributes ihat bavc been piid to the
memory of one who was at once the
pride of the h^me and tie ornament
of his countrv.
He filis au lnncrud grave in the soil
of South Carolina, while Sabite Pass,
associated with brave Confederate
memories, is n >\v fu-.-iner as.-ocia:en i

who died in serving bis feilow

Wei!, what is now agitating the
minds of the farmers more than anything
e!s-j is the low price of cotton
and a short crop, and they cannot see
any good reasons for it. The bulk of
the crop is certainly not in the hands
of tbe farmers, jmlging from the bare
