il H|pP^nasi year. He is mistaken. The ffl Dispatch stands exactly where it did ? last year?on the broad and liberal <M platform of retrenchment and reform <9 it n -H * ~ ' wherever needed as adopted Dy rue i Farmers' Movement. It is as stanch c an advocate of the principles and c doctrines of the Democratic party * now as then, and it does not propose t to countenace any movement, whether i organized or otnerwise, \> uau 1-lCkB I 4 for its object the disruption of the < party and the breaking up of the ] solid South, and while it has due re- < gard for the opinions and sentiments i of those who may differ with it, it s shall calmly, considerately, yet firmly I in an honest and fair manner give ex- 1 pres3ion to its own convictions on all ] matters touching the interests of the i people at large, and it shall continue < i1-- :?rtf J to urge me lm^u U?UVV vr. ^ o intact the great principles of the 1 Democratic party as the only hope of i a pure and honest government of the ; people, by the people for the people. It honestly differs with some of the measures advocated by one wing . of the Alliance, because it can see , nothing, if the measure should be enacted into law, but financial ruin and disaster to the people and the government, but it is not opposed to the farmers; why should it be? On the contrary it will jealously guard their interest, and sound the alarm and warn the people of their danger as it sees it. It did this last year and it is doing this now. It opposes the sub-treasury because it is too far off, its benefits - ? ' ? 3 :i? are of a very doubtful nature auu relief too uncertain. What the farmers need is immediate relief. So, Doc., please look through both glasses and stop placing the Dispatch in a false position.

Ohardn and h*r Prosperity. For thy Dispatch. Mr. Editor; So much has been deservedly written already of the push, enterprise, and intelligent efforts which have been combined to make Chapin the pride of the Fork, : that the subject may seem to have 1 lost some of its interest; but its ' numerous and splendid merits can- 1 not be too often impressed. < Before the busy hand of industry passed through the Fork, bringing ' the cars rolling behind it, there was i scarcely anything here, save per- 1 haps a steam null, a wortsnop, a little store, and a farm. Peaks, j Prosperity, and Columbia were the i markets and places of trade, and the ' distance with the bad roads over i which these thrifty people had to go 1 in order to reach them was veay un- < pleasant and a great hindrance to j their progress. The railroad with < ii9 curs passing every few hours has < produced a Wonderful change the 1 < iTVcts of which are abundantly suf- i ficient to make any one who has not 1 passed this way in some time look < around in pleasant surprise. Eight here on an elevated plain in the midst of a clearing where the plowman formerly turned up the soil and ' where his vegetable products yielded [ a splendid harvest are now six or I s seven stores of general merchandise, j j w I a drug store, h fine, large hotel, and i ( several desii-able dwellings, besides ' 1 many other things that add to the j 3 progress of the town. j i The success of the present ener i i getic merchants and other men of t business is enough to prove that it i i V IIS lllii ivaih.d by ;;iiY utllCi' JjIuc** e Fork a* a center for business* iftritory fur trade stretches east| from the Saluda almost to I river, and a considerable disv??irl ilfivrn flip VHllroEul. og, thus proving that her people aie j .s generous and moral as can be ound. For healthfulness it cannot ye surpassed by any other place in >ur county. One needs but a J iraught of cool, sparkling water from ! ts good wells or a glance at a rosyiheeked inhabitant to be convinced >f this truth. Another thing that ipeaks well for Chapin is the interest o which her people have awakened n regard to school matters. They iave determined to educate their children and with an eye to this they j iave erected a large school room? j )he of the best in this county?and j ire making every preparation neces-1 jarv for a school that will fit their j boys and girls for college and for the business vocation of life. They are not divided against themselves, but ire a unit, all pleasantly agreeing on one teacher and all pulling together for the same great cause. They have unanimously elected a young man of j several years experience, who has met with considerable success in building up schools and in accomplishing great good to his pupils. At the expiration of the present term of ten months which is to begin the " ' < 1 ? drd Monday instant, tucpuu/uua i to have established a graded school of seventy-five or one hundred pupils. Her people are made up of an honest and industrious class who belong to themselves and live at home. They don't harbor loafers, but their hearts and their doors are always hospitably open to all those who are willing to come and join hands and hearts with them for general good. Plixthus.

For the Dispatch, 1 1 TTV _ L J: ine JJutier ana >> aison uisuuabiuu of the sub-treasury bill at Batesburg is now a thing of the past. Gen. Butler founded his arguments against the measure on Art. I. of the Constitution of the United States while Mr. Watson planted himself on the Ocala platform. The impregnable character of Gen. Butler's position can be seen by referring to Section 9 of the article aboved note No. 7 of express prohibitions. His speech was marked by calmness, and dispassionate appeal to the reason and enlightened judgment as well as to patriotic devotion to constitutional democracy of his hearers. Mr. Watson was witty and seemed to think that the "boys" enjoyed a joke more than argument. Though he made some good statements he never, as I could see, ventured to show the harmony existing between the Ocala platform or the sub treasury bill and A.rt. I. of the Constitution of the United States. "While he was amusing the "boys" Rev. C. P. Boozer by two direct questions, drew from him the candid admission that the subtreasury bill will not help those who cannot help themselves, and that it will give 80 cents worth of help to those who have 100 cents to help themselves with, provided they pawn the 100 cent9 and take the 80 cents, j That's wonderful isn't it ? Even our ! friend R. can see how "Mr. Smith" ] is benefited bj pawning ?625.00 j worth of cotton to secure ?500.00 to j redeem his farm with. It is said ' figures do not lie" and the figures >f the said bill run just as stated, or [ am lost. In the conclusion of the lebate Gen. Butler, by a question, Irew from Mr. Watson the fact that he was not willing to pledge himself to abide by the decision of the Na;ional Democratic Convention in the I ?vent it rejects the Ocala platform, i J.

LEXINGTON. S. C. ASSOCIATE EDITOR: GEORGE M. ADAMS. BATESBURG. S. C. THK HUB-TREASURY DISCUSSION AT BATF.SBURrt?THANKS TO FESTUS FOR AI> VICE, AC. As the editor of this department ! was not present to hear the discus- i sion between Mr. Watson of Georgia, and Gen. M. C. Butler, we take the privilege to say only a few words in his stead, as we feel sure the readers of the Dispatch will all get the chance to read both o?_ these distinguished gentlemen's addresses. Mr. Watson opened the discussion in the affirmative, that the sub treasury would be beneficial to the rich as well as the poor. Mr. Watson first showed the condition of our present and past government; next, the evils complained of; and, 3d. the remedies proposed. So plain and forcible was he in this discussion that those who were not for him could not consistently be against him. For an hour and a half he held the attention of his audience, and I dare say that few ever witnessed a more interested one or heard louder ap plause thai) he received. He critisized Gen. Butler's Prosperity speech so severely that the General had to disclaim some of it. Senator Butler then arose in his dignified manner and pronouced j many of the accusations against him as falsehoods and denounced some as lies. Senator Butler has seen the day when he could have claimed al most the entire confidence of our people, but I am sorry to say that beyond a doubt the General witnessed that his followers in this section will be few and far between. He spoke a short while and then dinner was announced. After a recess of about an hour the audience re-assembled and Gen. i Bulter resumed his argument, which failed to receive much applause. After he took his seat, Mr. Watson replied to him with so much eloquence and good humor that he carried his audience into the wildest applause. | We never before witnessed a heavier snowing under than that which the General received. Long will Mr. Watson live in the memory of our people. I think many had their doubts removed and they now see clearly for themselves that the subtreasury will do without asking the other side for something better. Now, Mr. Festus, I wish to thank you for your fatherly advice. As we have admitted in our first -effort at newspaper writing our^^^^w^g vamu W V/U& iVUVJ. v*v n V watery grave. Yes, friend ijpstus, I we will leave our garments hanging J on that hickory tree and endeavor to i cause ourself to do like the slave's | catfish, shrink up to our proper size. We know full well that we can never swiui where Festus' stands, or even wear garments so largo as he. If his advice were to fail the moon would lose her course and the sun forget to shine. Noble Festus, grant me this last request, that should you precede me to the spirit land, will you condescend so low as to permit me j in my ignorance in appreciation of j your lofty abilities, to come and drop j a tear or cast a clod upon the last I resting place of the departed Festus. ! Batesburg, S. C., G. M. A. September 11. 1891. ALLIANCE PIC NIC OF DAY, NO. 1,061. . The exercises were opened with ' prayer from the Ritual. President Kelly Day then intro! duced Bro. Jacob Shumpert, who j opened the discussion by making a i rousing Alliance speech. The first ; and strongest point he made was that ! nmre Viittpr nnd th?> strnnrvftr the opposition grew the more determined i and resolute he was, advising all j others to do likewise. He also made a splendid comparison of the farmers to the children of Israel when in Egyptian bondage under Pharoah. He said in substance that God would in his own good time deliver us from our taskmaster and the oppresive burdens we now have to bear. At the pame time warning us also of the punishments of the Israelites in their journey through the wilderness ere they reached the promised land. He then showed us that the Billion dollars expended by the 51st Congress | would all have to be paid by the laborers of this country. If equally distributed each man, woman and child in the United States would be taxed over $15 per head to pay that immense sum. He dwelt at length on the magnitude of a billion dollars, describing it in various ways so that the common people could com prehend it, concluding by saying that a billion one dollar bills put together end to end would reach around this little earth of ours five (5) times. TInnn flip -wrbnlf Broth pr Shumnert's 'little talk" was an agreeable sur prise to every one who heard it. With proper encouragement he could soon be able to cope with many of our opponents who have the advantage of superior education, already verifying a prediction that in the hour of our extremity God will in his infinite mercy raise up men almost unheard of to plead our cause and lead the hosts" on to victory. Your humble editor was next in troduceil who, seeing no chance of j escape, tried to respond. After re-. horsing our declaration of principles, his remarks were principally based upon the sub treasury principles, es- a pecially as they related to our own i local welfare. At the close of his 1 remarks he put special emphasis on the edict that has gone forth "we 1 must educate or we must perish,1' i ? - ? 1 detailing- a simple, efficient plan ' whereby each Sub Alliance can easily, i and with comparatively small ex- i pense, supply their members with all the reform literature they need to 1 acquire that education. Dinner was next announced and everybody was invited to partake of the many good things prepared by the kind ladies. After an hour's rest and recreation listening to the sweet strains of Prof. Holman's violin, accompanied by a violincello, the members of the order were invited to the house where the secret work was exemplified by the Organizer. Alliance day at Oak Grove is now a thing of the past, but the 9eeds sown there will, as a natural consequence, germinate, spring up and bear fruit. Doubting Thomases that believe that the Alliance has split over the sub-treasury ubilT would do well to visit those brethren and learn their sentiments. In the name of all the brothers and sisters of Day Alliance, No. 1061, I take this method of publicly expressing our sincere thanks to Dr. J. H. Price, District Lecturer, for bis visit and lecture to that Alliance. To say that those neglected brethren appreciate his work there and with kindness remember him does not half express it. Bro. Price you did more there than you think you did. Please do more of the same kind of work in that neglected section of our county and the near future will disclose to you the result. Fraternally, R. ALLIANCE PIC NIC AT ST. PETERS. September 12th, was the day long ago appointed for our pie nic, and we looked forward to it with bright anticipations. But, alas! when the day came dark, threatening clouds and even rain prevailed. Our hearts sank in dispair; bet we repaired to the pic nic grounds and in a few minutes we could jee vehicles coming, which cheered us, and despite the inclemency of tha weather, by 11 o'clock wo had a crowd which exceeded the expectations of the most sanguine. At 11 o'clock the Chairman introduced Col. Goggins W Edgefield. For one hour he hek^Erasgn|^^ag tion Next our District frori Aiken, Col. ? ! T. GastW^was introduced. He spoke onefeand one-half hours. He discussed tne Alliance demands in the most forcible and convincing manner that we have yet heard. So clear and plain were his proof that a wayfaring man, though a fool, could not err therein. At the conclusion of this speech dinner was announced, and the fair ladies of our community loaded the table with all the good things that man's heart or mind could desire, to its utmost capacity. In the afternoon we held a secret meeting, conducted bv Col. Gaston. This was indeed the richest feast Chinquepin Alliance ever partook of; the only regret was that the day was too short and that none of our county officials, or Dr. Stokes, or Col. Talbert were not with us. "Wishing the Alliance, the Dispatch and the sub-treasury much success, I remain, yours fraternally, Batesburg, S. C., G. M. A. September 15, 1891. SPECIAL REQUEST. Brethren I have put myself to the trouble to investigate the Humphrey cotton picking strike and if there was any such circulars in circulation among the colored people in the sec tion where I live, I believe I could get one. If any brother in this county can get and mail me such a circular I will state in these columns with comment. If President Humphreys has issued such a circular as The Pickayune's special credits him with, then he betrays the confidence of thousands of Alliancmen as well as the confidence of a great majority of the Alliance press. But I shall class that '"bitter fruit bearing" with the it t t i n 3 _ otner nuncirea inousanus iaisenoous that have been published to destroy our organization until I see one of the circulars over Humphreys signature.

Watson said | that there would be no expense in issuing the certificates, except in the ' paper and the ink. As to the dispute bet wen Senator ^ Butler and Dr. Stokes it was ques- j tion of evidence, some people affirmed what he is reported to have said, J and Senator and others denied it. He thoughtit strange that Senator porter of the Senator. Senator Butler: I did correct it in the Cotton Plant. Col.

Watson devoted a great part v of his argument after this to the ( needs of an income tax. Recurring f to the 2 per cent difficulty at Prosperity Col. Watson used this language: "You have admitted, Gen- j eral, that your own paper on that roruvrfe.-l art infamous lift." Senator Butler: "No, sir, I did not. I siad that whoever said that I charged forty thousand farmers of South Caiolina with being thieves and scundrels were infamous liars. <, Col. "Watson, with the assent of Senator Butler, took a hand primary as follows: "Those men in this au- j dience who believe that the Ocala platform is pure Jeffersonian Demo- i cracy hold up your right hands." Here the right hands of about ninetenths of the whose voted declared it was. Then a similar vote was taken on the sub-treasury plan with the same result. Col. Watson: Now I hope the re porters will put down that an overwhelming majority of the audience voted for the Ocala platform. Near the close of this speech Senator Butler said: I would like you, Col. Watson, to come down more practically on the subject of Democracy. I would like to ask you if the Ocala platform is submitted to the National Democratic Convention and it is rejected, will you stand by a the National Convention? * WATSON TRIES TO DODGE. Col.
