Edenfield Advertiser HOS. J. A DAMS,.EDITOR WEDNESDAY, MAY 30, 1894. This year thirty-three United States Senators are tobe elected. The running expenses of Har vard university are one million dollars a year. A reunion of Hart's Battery will take place at Bamberg on the 27th of next mouth. Stockholm has the highest death rate from drink of any city in the world, 90 in 1,000. The life of Judge Kershaw was insured for $10,000, and the money has been paid to his family. Editor Gantt, of the Piedmont Headlight, speaks of his opponents as "flannel-mouth slanderers." Of course he means red flannel. It is dead sure now that the dis pensary will open again July 28th. If you see it in Tho Herald it's so. -Spartanburg Herald. Not a single candidate has so far | ventured into the newspapers in Greenville county. Perhaps They either fear their fate too much, Or their desert is small. The Columbia State remarks ruminatingly : "To think that we once credited the assertion that Brother Bowden had tamed that tizer !" As State representatives will soon be named, we hope they will understand that South Carolina wants no more barrooms and no more political domination by them. The unveiling of the Confed erate monument at Richmond on Thursday of this week will be the occasion of a grand reunion of ex Confederates from all the Southern States. Senator Gordon will visit the encampment at Spartanburg, S. C., during the first week in June and will deliver his famous lec ture, "The Last Davs of the Con federacy." On the 7th of June the prohibi tion party will meet in Columbia in State Convention "to consider) the means for applying the remedy of prohibition" to South Caro lina's present peculiar condition touching the liquor question. In the Sadie Means case before the Southern Presbyterian General Assembly at Nashville, the appeal from the Synod of South Carolina was not sustained, so Miss Means wins. The vote was 77 to 48. There were eight votes to sustain tho ap peal in part. The Southern Immigration and Industrial Congress meets in Au gusta to-day, Wednesday. Great things are expected to result from this assemblage, and great interest has been manifested. A great many letters have been written, and one New York capitalist writes as fol lows : "There is no question in my mind but that we must look to the South for future wealth and pros perity." Internal Rev nue Collector Townes say3 that siuce the de cision of the Supreme Court he has issued 4G0 licenses for the sale of liquor, and that prior to that time he issued about 400. This means that there are over SOO places in South Carolina where liquor is sold. Besides this there are probably eight hundred places where liquor is sold without rev enue license. The State Teachers Association will hold its twenty-third annual meeting at Spartanburg in the Convense College building July 1-5, 1S94. There will be two S3S sions each day and a comprehen sive range given to the subjects of discussion. Parties desiring in formation about board, accommo dations, rates, etc., should write to President B. F. Wilson, or J. F. Brown, Esq., Spartanburg, fe. C. In a treatise on the subject of alcohol, Mr. Lawson Tait, au English authority, exhonorates the human race from the imputa tion of being tho only creatures that naturallv take to drink. Wasps, he says, have the same proclivity. Mr. Tait has watched tue wasps eagerly attacking over ripe fruits, when tho sugar had in some degree boen converted into alcohol. Around such fruits, especially rotten plums and grapes the wasps may bo seen fighting and struggling for precedence ; and afterwards, when they are ?abolutely drunk with the spirit, they crawl away in a torpid con dition, and hide themselves in the grass till they have slept off the orgie. The wasp is even mure quarrelsome than usual in his ?cups, and will sting most venomously on the slightest provocation. In future the educational ad tages of women in this State be on a par with those of man a recent meeting of the truste the South Carolina College it determined to adopt the BUggei of the last Legislature by w the doors of tho college will opened to woman and a noi course will be established. Fur University has already opcnei doors. The General Conference of Southern Methodist church he amended the discipline of church as to mako it unla\ for members to drink liquors beverage or to sign petitions the sale of liquor dealers, or rent property to be used for s sale. The enforcement of rules in every branch of Christian church would ei destory the church or tho saloo: THE COMING CAMPAIG] The following we clip from Columbia correspondence of News and Courier, Tho wr: doesn't know it all, but ho thi he does : FUN FOR NEXT WEEK. The latter portion of next we however, will be the liveliest political circles that has b known about Columbia for mi a day. On Tursday, June 7, (t is next Tursday week,) that mi talked of and long delayed mc ing of the State executive cc in i i toe is to bc held in this c for the purpose of fixing the da for the campaign meetings in several counties of the Sti making all arrangements the for and attending to a gr many other matters of great i poitancc to the candidates. 1 commitecc will have some interu ing questions bolo; e it. It will hi to decide among other thi; whether it will require t Senatorial candidates to attend these meetings or not. It will a! very likely have a big fight O' thc dates for the campaign me ings. It appears that one side trying to get the meeting? so ? ranged that they cannot all held before the August Refoi convention. But be all these thin as they may the meeting of t committee is certain to be a ve lively one in every respect. T Alliance side of tue house clair a majority of the committeemen. LIQUOR IN THE CAMPAIGN. And just here it may as well 1 frankly stated that^ the events i the last few weeks have shown b yond doubt that the liquor questic and its solution will be one of tl principal issues in the comii campaign. The dispensary advoca es are resolved to continue tl fight for the dispensary systen Governor Tillman, it will bo r< membered, as soon as the law wa declared unconstitutional, mad the statement that tho dispensar law had come to stay. Ho sait too, that the dispensary would b before thc people in the com in campaign. These statements of Ih Governor have greatly puzzled th people, and they likewise indicate? that he intended personally t make the light for the dispensar system as against the prohibitor; system of control of the liquo traffic. The dispensary advocate had been everyone thinking tba they wese going to put upoi Justice Gary the odium of seeiiij that the dispensary law stood. TILLMAN AND BUTLER. Another feature of the comini campaign which will make it vcr; lively will bo the light betweei Senator Butler and Governor Till man for the United States Senate There are bound to bo issues whicl when these two meet on tho shuni will call for lively and interesting speeches. Governor Tillman ha? been playing his cards careful h and I see that despite tho slap IK gave the Alliance the other day ii his reply to its questions, he liai many small Alliances endorsing him. One of these country Al liances only a few days ago passed resolutions endorsing tho Gov ernor, tho latter clause of which read as follows : "And wo want it distinctly understood that no man need ask our su (frage for legislativo honors who is in favor of anybody against Governor Tilln.an for the Senate.'' Senator Butler was hero for a short time to-day, but went on to his home in Edgefield. He has been covering a good deal of territory recently and seems con fident. TINDAL FOR GOVERNOR. And now as to the Gubernatorial race. Although tho race has narrowed down so far as one can see just now to John Gary Evans and E lier be with Dr l'ope asa peace-maker, it is pretty safe to say thal Secretary of State Tindal will reappear on the field before the executive committee drops lb opening meeting flag and starts the racers oil". It ie stated by some of Mr. Tindal's supporters that his friends in Clarendon are going to push him forward whether he wishes to be in the race or not. He will doubtless prove a strong antagonist. There will be factional j issues to be discussed by these candidates on the stump which will make things lively. TIIK CONGRESSIONAL CONTESTS. As to the Congressional races there will bc some lively contests. The Republicans will hardly bother with any but the new 1st and the new 7th districts. Smalls and Murry are both going to run in theist, splitting the Republican vote. Thc 4th district race is full of entries _as is also the otb. dis trict race. It is possible that "Uncle George1' Tillman may come to the front again in the 2d dis trict race and try Mr Talbert a dash once more. But so much for the outlook and what thc politicians are doing. One thing is certain-the politi cal war of 1S9 i is no longer some thing to bo talked about as a dis tant thing. It is at hand and in ten days' time there will be a plenty of politics to interest all those who care to hear what the politicians are doing. GEN. BUTLER'S ANSWER. The following is Senator Butler's reply to the Alliance questions submitted to him through the Chairman of the Alliance Execu tive Committee : Taking up the question* of your letter in their order, I beg to say in response to the first: I will discuss any public ques tion the peddle may desire to have discussed and as the 'finances of the country are legitimate and proper subjects for consideration. I will discuss them with pleasure and without reserve. I will refer more ful Iv to the last point of your i j inquiry, whether I will defend them against the enemies of our (your) order, when I come to dis cuss tho Alliance platform. I don't quite understand, however, wheth er you mean tu ask me whether I will defend the 'finances of the country' against the enemies of your order, or the 'finances of the country' as proposed by the Alli ance. I assume you mean the lat ter. Replying lo your second ques tion, I beg to says that in my political life, I have never allowed any caucus, or societ}-, or organiza tion, to bind my conscience, and shall not do so in the future. Caucuses, societies or organiza tions of any kind which seek to bind thc political consciences of any free Amercan citizen are in my judgment, inimical to thal freedom of conscience and politi cal action so essential to the pre servation of free, republican in stitutions. I have attended many caucuses of thc Democratic party, TO which I belong. I have never heard thc suggestion that air man's conscience or political ac tion should be bound by them. I never will, so far surrender my individual judgment, as to be bound by any caucus. I am loyal to the principles of the Democratic party, and shall maintain that loyalty so long as it adheres to principies I think conductive to the best interest of tho people not a day longer. I have been under the impression that the Farmers' Alliance was not apoliti cal organization, but an "In dustrial Union" for the protection of the farmers against .impositions from other sources. I do not believe in secret political organiza tions-we had a sad experience some years ago with them. What ever concerns thc political welfare of our people should bo open to the fullest freest, most public dis cussion. In order to prevent im position on tho people, Ibo light '.mst be turned on from all points of view. I recognize no master in this country except thc people. Caucus rule should not be allowed to usurp the rule of thc people. I will, 'therefore, say I will pledge my loyality to the demands of thc Alliance, so far as Ihey meet thc demands of my judgment, and I cannot hold them above loyalty to parly caucus, because I make no pledges to 'party caucuses,' and deny thc right of 'party caucuses' or any olIi"r caucuses to command pledges from me, to surrender my conscience and judgment io its dictation. Coming now to tho demands, penni' me to say by way ol'preface ?hut thai there seems to a be very grave misapprehension in thc minds of somo people ns lo the power of acanscus over its mem bers. I have attended jDemocrat ic caucuses since I have been in the Senate, bnt nobody dreamed of binding any member of the caucus to vote against his judgment. Ivor instance, Democrats and Republjr cans differ widdy among them selves, on financial questions. A caucus is held for consultation. and financial topics are disci but in the Senate and ii House each man votes as his ment dictates; some may fav free and unlimited coinage o? ver at one ratio and some an< Some may favor the subtre; plan of the Alliance and ai consultation in caucus they for or agcviust either propos when the occasion arises. Nc is bound by the caucus, unies chooses to be bound. No < are administered, no pledge! exacted as requisites of i fealty. If there were I would r attend a party caucus. In regard to demand first'o Alliance, I will say the sub-t ury plan has been abandoned, therefore it is unnecessary to cuss it. In my judgment a ter system' would be attained the repeal of the 10 per cent ?n State banks of ciiculation, I trust the Alliance will take up and make it oue of the mauds.' I cannot, of course, cuss this proposition at lengtl this connection, but take liberty of handing you one of spaeches, delivered in the Se: at the last extra session, in wi I have attempted to elaborate argument in favor of the rer. and be-g you to do me the favc examine if. I think that you find that if this tax should be pealed we seould have 'a 9 sound, and flexible currencey enoogh of it. I favor the free unlimited coinage of silver gold at the present legal ratio 16 to 1, and advocated it bel thc Alliance was organized, am gratified to know that Alliance has adopted my platft on this subject. Fifty dollars capita is not loo much curre like ours, but the trouble with present financial system is no much the per capita amount currency as the inequality of distributiou. Some cections of country have much more tl fifty dollars per capita, while our sections, I doubt if we li dollars per capita. If in i State, wo, could be guarani twenty dollars per capita, if much was needed for the trans tion of our business, I woi compromise on that ; we shoi then have about twenty millie of currency in circulation, when I doubt if we now have two rr. lions. If by the repeal of the per cent, tax the States should permitted to authorize banks circulation, we should have just moc? cvrrencj *a cur lecal required, and no more, but ' should have enough. I favor ; income tax, and shall have an o portuiiity to vote for it in t! pending tariff bill. I concur thc 'demands' 'that the money the country should be kept as mu( as possible in the hands of the pe pie, and that all national and Sta revenues should ht; limited !o tl neceasary expenses of the govert mont, economieally and honestl administered. This isgood,soun doctrine, and I heartily subscril: to it. I can see no objection t Postal Savings Banks, although measure of that Kind would b largely tentative in this county and should be adopted wit caution and circumspection. The second general 'demand,' a to the public lands, is sound an in accordance with true blu Democratic principles. The third general 'demand"lha the government should own am operate the railroads in the inter?s of the people,' and that the 'tele graph and telephone 1 ines shouh be owned and operated by th government in the interest of tin people,' would, in my judgment b impolitic and unwise. I have al ways understood that the Alliane was opposed to the further increasi of the 'bonded debt' of the govern ment, and I agree with the Al liance in that prosposition. Thi government could not pay casi for the ono hundred and niueh odd thousand miles of railrads and the vast mileage of telegraph! and telephones. The rate of taxa tion necessary to raise the casi would destroy thc people,and thc only alternative to put the govern ment in ownership of the railroad telegraphs and telephones would be to issue bonds to buy the rail roads and nobody knows how man}' millions to buy the telegraph and telephone systems to thc country. Is the Alliance prepared to urge the creation o.' such a bonded debt on the present and future generations, and thereby per petuate the national, and banking system indefinitely? If so, I can not go with it. The government now lias control and supervision of the railroads by and through tho interstate commerce commis sion, and tho experiment has not realized Hie expectation of its friends. The ownerships of rail roads in despotic governments is justified on the ground that that they are military n?cessites for the rapid mobilization and trans portation of armies. It. has not rebounded to the interest of the ppopl?; for freight rates are fifty per cen!, higher in those cou litre's (han in this, and they are conse quently a {Teat burdeu upon tho masses of the people. I believe 1 have now made full and complete answer to your in (m?f'?Pfl in general and in detail, if anything feas been om i'ted, I will gladly supplements F.frat I have said, if you will ?all it to my .atten tion. Very truly yours. M. C, BUTLER. 1 TO BOOM THE DISPENSARY. TILLMAN TO EXPLAIN IT TO NORTHERN PEOPLE. WILL GO TO NEW YORK NEXTWEEK. He Will Talk to the National Con vention of Temperance Peo ple at Staten Island for One Hour. Thc Columbia Sute. Governor Tillman will next week present to the people of the North in person all of the advantages which he claims for the system of State control of the liquor traffic by the dispensary plan. In a word, the farmer Governor of South Carolina is goiug to appear in a big hall on Staten Island in New York harbor and for an hour or more tell a gathering of temper ance people and others what he knows about the control of the liquor traflic and why he considers the dispensary system the more superior and successful. Sometime ago, those in charge of the coming international- tem perance convention, to be held on Staten Island, sent the Governor a letter, stating that ho had been selected as one of Ihf speakers and inviting him to attend the conven tion and address il on June 4, on the subject, "What is to be ex pected from the State agency plan," Governor Tillman had some correspondence with thom, in con sequence of which they have al lowed him one hour in which to tell the North what he knows about the dispensory system. He announced yesterday that he had accepted thc invitation and would (leave for New York city next Saturday evening. It is expected that Governor Tillman will make a speech that will attract national at tention, He will, doubtless, take occasion, too, to tell to the world what he and tho dispensary advo cates intend to do with regard to the futuro. This feature of his address will be of moment to the people of South Carolina. Governor Tillmau intends to spend one day at the immigration convention in Augusta, before leaving for New York. He will probably be there Thursday. Clemson to bc Kebuilt. News ami Courier. May aSth. Governor Tillman, who returned this evening from the meeting of ^f?-board of trustees of Clemson College, reports that the board of trustees has decided to advertise for bids for building the main building of Clemsen College. The bids are to be opened on the 27th offline and,work immediately commenced. It is evident from this that no effort will be made to re build thc College for the present session. Ample arrangements have been made for the requisite class rooms. The new mechanical hall provides six or eight good class rooms without interfering with the work. The experimental station office has been converted into a classroom, anda good room in the old Calhoun mansion will bo used. To supply any other require ments wooden structures at once will be built. After the emergency isover these buildings will be used for the servants. The}* have been wantod for some time. As to the loss Governor Tillman says that it is impracticable to estimate it un til the walls are carefully ex amined. Bruce and Morgan, the architects, think that most of the walls are solid and wil lnot have to be torn down, but the portion nearest the old exhibit and the physical department were pretty badly shattered. The tower is left standing and will very probably be of use, as it was much gratified to see that the loss was very much less than they had feared it would be. They expect to have everything in appia pie order by next session. All of the members of the board, except Messrs Tindal, Stackhouse and Bowen, were present and the board had a long and thorough session. Governor Tillman attribut ed the leaving of the cadets to the hard times and the idea that after the fire.there would boa vacation. Governor Tillman m a speech urged all the cadets to stick to iheir work. He does not think the corps will fall below the SOO mark, and he believes that the leaving spurt has died out. The board lias decided lo let the cadets have a days' outing at the Spartan burg encampment. A fire brigade will at once bo organized, tho boys will be drilled and the profcssiiis will get up a brigade for work in tho vacation season should the fincrgoncoy arise. A man began to laugh ini-| moderately over some amusing narrative and finally, to his dis may, wascouscious that ho could not stop. The doctor had given him lip, and th'? family wore gathering around in expectation of the end when a telegram arrived saying that his wife's mothar was cmiing to make a short visit, l?o was saved and has laughed no more-London Tit-Hits. Chester Bulletin : The idea of a separate box for the United States Senate in the next election in this State seems to be growing. The idea is to have a vole for Senator just as there was on the prohibi tion question, with each candidate for the Legislatura pledged to vote as the majority of the people of his county may vote. ?This plan would practically give the people a direct vote for Senator and would possibly free us to a large extent from coat tail swingers.
