Cten. Gordon's Greenwood Speech
TWP ednoat Headlight.
The anti papers and the Reform
papers in our State have each placed
a separate interpretation on a senfence
in Gen. Gordon's address be
': $ v fore the old soldiers at Greenwood,
in which he said:
''But will you blot out the sun and
moon that lesser lights may shine?
Witt you clip the wings of the mighty
-eagiemad pinion him that the bats
and owls may soar aloft? Are you
going to pin down the mighty oaks
and tall cedars of Lebanon that the
black iack mav thrive?"
* " (
The Conservative press assert that
the speaker only referred to the negro,
but the Reform papers are unanimous
in their declaration that the !
Bxr*** ^Sentence was meant as comparsion.
? between Butler and Tillman, and intended
to boom the former as a Senatorial
candidate. In this latter construction,
the Atlanta Constitution,
fhftf wpll knows the neculiar raeth
odd of Gen. Gordon, and is an im
partial critic, concurs.
Of course Gen. Gordon meant this
[ perioration as a boom for his old .
r comrade in arms, and nothing else,
f This was shown, when there were
? dissents to the proposition, and he
quickly, asked, "Am I treading on
dangerous ground?" Besides Gen. (
J-- Gordon well knows that the negro is
. no longer a factor in our $outh Caro"
n. . nnm u.a
itfifc politics, Wfllie me xiiiuiaii-juui^ler
issue is a very live factor, and
k one that, like Banquos ghost, will
^ not down. His meaning in that !
W" Greenwood speech was as clear and
I explicit as had that distinguished
Georgian come boldly out and counI
selled the voters not to defeat the
I chivalrous Butler with the plain
B farmer Ben Tillman. That this
ureenwooa reunion was woraeu as a
L feeler to the Butler boom, everything
I goes to show. Why, the Greenville
News the next day contained an account
how a large crowd of Senator \
Mfcg^Rutlers's groom ers came to that city
i^^^B^^^^^B^I^upenthusiasm
Hpale, and the News
^^admWI^BBRhey had even to make
* J J ]
B requisition on Tillman's dispensary
liquor to get op a proper head of 1
W steam.
As pc ician, Gen. John B. Gordon,
&T when it ymes to "ways that are dark '
and fcri ;s that are vain,' lite trie
Jm Heathen Chinee, ais peculiar." When
he made the race for re-election as
Senator, and thought that he had old
W Georgia by the tail and a down hill
pull on it, General Gordon went out
of his way to insult and defy ?he Ai
[ Jiance; and in a public speech before
p| that body and boldly declared that
is | they had but one plank in their plat
form and that plank a rotten onetaud
B then went on to declare that he would
' i- Zt Zi
fv.UOt support It?"IIO, JUUi/ 11 it/ wst uic i
forty elections^'' Bat when the Gen- ;
eral Assembly convened it was found
that four-fifths of tire members were
Allianeemen, and they were determined
to make the successful candidate
walk that rotten plank or sink
into the slough of defeat. It was
then "Presto Change!" with the General.
He denied making any such
speech as that charged, and wound
up by not only planting himself upon
the Ocala platform, but sent in his
application and joined the Alliance,
and meekly accepted such a paddling
with the sub treasury plank that if it
didn't break from rottenness was cer
tainly shivered into kindling wood.
Even Gen. Wade Hampton was dis?^'~''gusted
with the manner with which
General Gordon had cringed to the
Alliance for their support, and wrote
election, that was a withering rebuke
p| men who would "stoop to con
HTquer." In that Gordon campaign
the old soldier racket was played for
all it was worth, but would never
have succeeded had not the Alliance
f:M. leaders got to scrambling among
themselves over the Senatorship, and
L Gen. Gordon made the concessions
Fthat he did to that organization. And
-even then he was defeated, but the
Speaker gave his friends time to go
among the members, after the vote
was taken, and work on certain representatives
until enough changes
were made to squeeze GordorT In fey -j
the skin of his teeth.
Well, after his election, Senator
Gordon did join the Alliance, but
you heard no more from him on the
demands that he had solemnly
pledged himself to maintain. He is
today the bosom friend of President
Cleveland, and will vote for and sus- j
P tain his goldolator views. He was
^ carried into office on the Ocala plat
form, but has turned it a drift. None
of the old line politicians think any .
the less of Senator Gordon for thus j
fooling "that passel of ignorant far- j i
f-~ mersv down in Georgia, but consider
it a shrewd political trick, that any
other candidate would do well to j
play.
No one holds the old Confederate :
veterans in greater love, gratitude
and veneration than the editor of this
paper. But we do not believe in
heaping all honors and emoluments
upon high officers to the total neglect
1 ~q vi r\
of privates. i*ut uie war x? j
great living issues now confront the j
country, and issues, too: that are i
paramount to keepiug alive and 1
aflame a k;Lo. * Cause." The deeds!
and memory oi those old veterans j .
will survive as long as a drop of true j
Southern blood flows in the veins of i
our people. But the time has now .
come when we" must all look after the j
- - " i l j { '
welfare of the living, and see tnai
the descendants of those old soldiers
are not placed in a worse bondage
than that against which our fathers
took up arras. The late war was
fought for the constitutional lights
of the South to hold negroes in
bondage. The farmers and laboring ,
people of our Union are now in arras
against the protected manufacturers
of this country, and the Gold kings
^ Wall cfropf And who are holding"
in bondage the toiling millions of our j
land, both white and black. The |
man who has a voice in settling this i
great issue must be in full sympathy j
and touch with the people, and not, !
like General John B. Gordon, of j
Georgia, an Allianceman at home and j
a Wall street champion when he gets j
to Washington.
The whole money power of the j
trwrlr? Kr Rfhpminof politicians !
" ' J O J. . ,
and the great patronage of our gov- \
eroment, are now combined for en- \
slaving the masses. And blended
with the?e all powerful influences,
the people may look for hvpocracy, ^
false pretenses and treachery. You
will see the Joab blade directed at .
your own chosen leaders. You will
see paid political assassins cast

Next month there will be decided
a question of vital interest not only
f iL!.
to the parents and guardians 01 tins
State, but must seriously effect the
rising generation in our midst. "We
refer to the selection of school books
for a series of years.
As is well known, arr iniquitious
trust has been formed among publishers
to keep up prices and thus
extort a usurious profit upon the
mental training of our children.
Like all such organizations, this trust
is backed by millions of capita1, and
will use it freely, when necessary, to
have the people placed in their
power. In fact, we hear that one of
ooconfc nnenlr boasted in New
WJCA4. v^v-v
Orleans that he had South Carolina
"cooked," and felt had no fear about
carrying his ends in this State.
This assertion we believe to be infamously
false, for our State is now
ruled by Reformers, and however
these faithful officials have been
maligned and abused, their integrity
has never been questioned.
This movement is organized
* 1 i
against rings, trusts ana speculators,
and should our officials thus openly
recognize one of the most iniquitous
conspiracies, to extort upon and rob
the people it would
be to belie our professions and falsify
our principles. Trusts may flouish,
but it will not be with the consent or
connivance of our Reformers in the
old Palmetto State. The great combine
to exact a usurious " price for
school publications is known as the
4,m,eHean Book Company. This
trust, Hke all others, is a combination
of temqr more of the leadiqjg^publishers
of school books, with
arTenormous amount of capital be
hind it to carry on its favorite work
of mashing swaller competitors to
the wall; and when it has done this,
and driven all competition from the
field, they wi^extort any price that
-dcraa ndr vh<rbook
trust was formed, we were told
that it was to be a kind of benevolent
combine, and was formed solely
for the purpose of reducing the cost
of common 9chool books; but in the
light of recent developments it ranks
with "any of Gould's schemes of
plunder.
Let us follow the record of this
philosophic "trust" and see if it
differs in kind from the other notori
ous and much abused trusts. To
start with, the book trust was formed
in the State of New Jersey, the birthplace
of all other trusts that are born
to rob the people and enrich the few
designing men who manipulate them.
This benevolent (?) book trust
was incorporated under the laws of
the State of New Jersey, and in this
respect is like the sugar trust, the
oil trust and the bagging trust. We
read in the Scriptures that nothing
good can come out of Nazareth, and
so far as our investigations have gone
we have been unable to discover any
marked differences in the methods of
the numerous New Jersey trusts.
The American Book Company was
formed a few years ago with a paid
up capital of only $1,500. Now they
are supposed to be worth about forty
millions of dollars, which goes to
show that the members of this benevolent
(?) book combine have not
been in the business solely for their
health. Their record is one of almost
fabulous gain. In this, the
book trust is like all other trufft?in
the same boat with the Standard oil
trust abo"t, w)nVh-p^-- ' ?
We fought this trust in Georgia,
and propose to tackle it again. We
cannot imagine a greater imposition
that could be enflicted upon our
State than that the education of our
children be placed at the mercy of a
New Jersey trust. We must have
legitimate competition iu order to
keep up ike standard of our school
books as the wheels of progress roll
*
on; and the day that South Carolina
signs a contract with one of the most
oppressive and iniquitous trusts in
this broad land, she by that act lends
her aid and her influence to rivet the
chains of corporate conspiracy not
only upon her own people, but upon
our whole Union. In awarding contracts,
let the motto of our South
Carolina Reformers be, that "no trust
need apply." There are other firstclass
and reliable book concerns that
refused to enter into this combination,
and are now striving to keep
alive competition. Tliev will sell us
just as cheap as the American Book
trust, and better books, too, and we
do say that our State Board of Education
owes it to the principles that
they profess, and the people who
honored them, to always give preference,
in making their awards, to
establishments that have refused to
go into any ring, clique or eombina
I
tion to advance pi-ice and extort
upon tq people.
We hope that the Reform press of "]
I our State will look into this highly
important matter and unite with us s
in waging a relentless war against ^
i the most infamous and iniquitous ^
! trust ever organized, or that ever a
will he organized; and a coalition, y
too, that has insulted our Slate by }
Roasting that it had matters "cooked" t
in South Carolina. Let us now go i
. ! *J
to woik uud "cook" this American t
Book trust. j

Larkin Lyncksd.
A Colored Man Put the Noose Around
the Fiend's Neck.
Jacksonville, Fla., July 12.?An
Oiala special says that a negro
named Robert Larkin was lynched
shortly after noon today by the citi
zens of Citra and vicinity, for ravishing
Miss Fannie Alexander last Mon
day noon.1 She is a refined young
11 *1 # ! . 1
lauy, eignreen years 01 age, oi uie
highest social connection and standing..
She was returning to hjer home
near Citra from the post office, when
Larkin suddenly sprang from a
thicket, seized the horse by the bridle
and dragged her from the buggy.
At the point of a cocked pistol, he
forced her into dense woods and
there accomplished his purpose.
Four different negroes have since
been taken into custody by the lynching
posse, but uone of them were
identified as the assailant.
Today Larkin was captured and
taken before Miss Alexander, who at
once recognized him, and his features,
clothing and general appearance
tallied exactly with the description
which she had previously given.
Larkin was at once strung up to
a tree and his body riddled with bullets.
li was a negro who put the
noose about the culprit's neck when
he was swung off. 1
Larkin had been a petty thief and ]
all round crook about Ocala for a
year or two past, and had frequently ^
been sent to jail under the name of
White. The lynching is generally 1
justified by whites and blacks alike. '

That will be the question until the
sovereignty of the people is vindicated
and Democracy is asserted
against plutocracy.

moved by a strange infatuation to

For three years I was troubled with mala- {

Aiken, July 12.?Special: The ]
Aiken County Alliance, at its recent f
meeting, adopted the following res- c
olution: - *
"Whereas we recognize the fact i
that our cnuntry is in a depressed [
condition, caused by the uncertainty
of our pressent national administra- r
tion, and seeing that various chain
bers of commerce, boards of trade,
etc., have met and asked that Congress
repeal the Sherman silver law1~^
and whereas we recognize that the
? 8
tight is between the money power on ^
the one hand, and the people on the j
other; therefore, be it c
"Resolved, That we insist upon ^
our Representatives and Senators in j
Uongress standing t>y tne people,
and seeing to it that there is no repeal
of the Sherman silver law, unless
the free and unlimited coinage
of silver be substituted therefor.''
What Shall We Drink?
When the rays of old Sol are boil c
ing down at ninety degree rate, the c
air like the breath of a furnace and t
everything hot, dry and dusty, the t
natural desire of the average human \
is to drink. But, what to drink? s
there's the quesliou. . 6
The serious etfect of an over in- v
dulgence in ice water is well known, a
The thousand and one cheap gassy d
beverages are known to be more or t
less injurious to the health, while the c
? 1 ?l s i ?T
mineral waters 01 ttuuwti puiuj auu x
healthfulness are a luxury beyond
the reach of but few. What shall
we drink?
A beverage to meet the requirements,
must, first of all, be absolutely
pure and non-alcoholic. It should j
possess a medicinal element to counteract
the effects of the heat and keep *
v
the blood pure and the stomach
healthful. In order to be palatable
and refreshing, it should be sparkling ^
rod effervescent. Last but not least,
. , ,, PJ
t must oe economical ami witnm tne
n(
reach of all. A beverage that fully
ueets all of the above requirements
tnd one that is entitled to more than
massing mention is Hires' Hoot Beer,
nanufactured by the Chas. E. Hires
2o.? of Philadelphia. This prepara- a(
ion has been analyzed by the highest
luthorities and pronounced by them Sl1
,o be free from any deleterious sub
itauee and absolutely non-alcoholic; |
vhfle all physicians acknowledge its j as
lealth giving qualities. It has a de- u(
icious, appetizing flavor, is full of tk
map, sparkle and effervescence, and tk
s without a peer as a refreshment. SI
A package, costing 25 cents at the sa
roeer's or druggist's, will make five
aliens of this great temperance
rink. Truly it answers the ques011?"What
shall we dunk. There
re many substitutes and imitations

Good For The South.
lot Less Than $25,000,000 to be Distributed
in This Section.
T * '
Baltimore, Md., July 10.?From
gures compiled by the Manufacurers'
Record, it is estimated that
ot less than $25,000,000 will be disbursed
in interest and dividends by
louthern railways, banks and other
orporations during this month,
(early all this money will go into
itculation in the South, and *ts
ffects will be very beneficial to the
general business and financial situaion.
The Southern banks make a
larticularly good showing. Out of
17 banks declaring dividends only
ight are paying less than 6 per cent
>er annum, while one declares 40 perent
per annum interest.
No Jurisdiction.
Chat "Was The Decision of Judge
Ernest Gary.
Judge Gary in delivering his opinon,
said that the demurrer admitted
he allegations! the petition relates
,o the appointment of a dispenser., a ' *
vrit of prohibition would not lie. Ifhe
Board had^ttempted to appoint J* ive
dispensers lor Richland county
let, then prohibition would lie, but
is they had appointed only one it " '.
lad not exceeded its jurisdiction. "
The Board of Control were the % ^
K)le judges of the facts upon which
hev had acted. In appointing a
iispenser the Board was pursuing
he line of their duty, and jurisdicion
as to the facts lies with the
Board of Control. The court, thereore,
had no power to grant the writ
>f prohibition.
The following order was then
ssued:
rhe State oe South Carolina
Richland County.
rhe State ex rel. W. H. Gibbes, vs.
J. M. Kirkland, J. R. Price and
L. B. Folk, County Board of
Control for Richland County.
^The above cause being called and
m oral demurrer being interposed
hat the court had no jurisdiction to
lear and determine this cause, it is
>rdered that the demurrer be sus
ained on the ground of the want of
urisdiction to grant the writ, and
>rdered further that the restraining
>rder herein be vacated.
