EEOWEB COU RI ER, ?. A. THOMl'SON. ?. A. SM 1 I'll. lt. T. JAYNKH. BY THOMPSON, SMITH & J AYN KS. THURSDAY, FEB. 13, 1890. Is Thoro Democratic Unrest ? A writer in another column over tho signature of "Veritas," says that "ns tho timo approaches for discuss ing the issues involved in thc coining State canvass, * * * it is more ap parent than ever that there is wide spread Democratic unrest and dis satisfaction all over thc State on one single point," &o. Tho "singlo point is," says the writer, "that the elec tion of 1870, which redeemed the State from the Republican party rule has been seized upon by a very small but shrewed set of politl?n) leaders who have milked the South Carolina political cow ever since, for themselves, their friends and next of kin." This is a pretty strong charge, and whether it can be fully sustained or not, it must be admitted Hint there has been since, the redemption of the State in 1870 a good deal of "bossism,'' or ring management, in making "slates" which were carried out and consummated nt nominating Conventions; for it is a well KIIOWII fact that since 1870 a nomination at Democratic Convention has been evui valent to au election. Tudor tho peculiar circumstances in which they were placed, the white people of the Stale, the Democracy of the State, for their own interest and the inter est of the State-for self-preserva tion, in other words-felt constrained to ratify the action of nominating Conventions. 1 lonee, il was only necessary for the wire manipulators to lix up a "gond ticket" for the Convention-a ticket composed of competent, available men--'lind it was put through with lillie or no diflloulty; and once irptjjiiuiilcd bj the Convent ioig.j ii^i.l?c?rTTiin and oleo-1 tion b'vjjno people was assured. Uns the political wheel Iris been )Iving in South ('anilina for tho ist twelve yours. As a rule tho officers seleeled have been efficient, honest and upright, and the admin istration of the affairs of the Slate has been clean. Il is not to the men placed in the sovcr.d Stille offices to whioh objection oan lie made, but to the methods adopted, ibo faction that placed them there, or made their election not only possible bul a certainty. What is the remedy ? ll lien ill the power, in the will ol' tho people. And who constitute the people? It is scarcely necessary to say that the agricultural class, (he while farmers, compose about eighty per cent, ol' the voting si reno;! h, ibo Democracy, ol' thc State ; and il has frequently been thrown in their teeth thal if Conventions are manipulated by cliques and rings, or il' ibo Legis lature is responsible for objectionable legislation, il is the faull of tho farmers; thal they had the power and opportunity l<> have matters different. Are these allegations true? Have the farmers heretofore taken tho interest in political mailers that they should have done, especially ill the maller ol' selecting Slat officers? lt' not, why not? The allegation thal the farmers have neglected to take the necessary in terest ill political milliers that ihoy should have done may, mid WC think does, apply correctly to some sections of the Slate, but it is not generally applicable. This inactivity, how ever, has liol been thc (rouble. The real trouble has been, or loo frc rjllClllly been, that when the fanners selected their delegates to nomina ting Conventions, while they chose good, (rue men, they generally seul men inexperienced in political meth ods, who were bound to come in con tact with well-skilled, experienced politicians. And so it will always be, to some extent al least, while tho system of nominating Slate ellice rs by Conventions exists. Hence, we favor primaries for tho nominating of every officerj from ( lo vernor down. The primary system lias its ob jections, loo, ii may be said. This we gran), bul i! bas fewer than tho present plan ; and in our judgment there Will always bo moro or less "Democratic unrest" as long as the thc present Convention system of nominating Slate officers obtains, if WO would have harmony in the pal ly, then, a chango from thc present sys tem to that of the primary should be adopted. This is one of Ibo needed reforms. Lei the people say who their Slate officers shall be. When ibo people can go lo the polls and volo for the man or men ol' their choice they will turn Old and lake mort! interest in political malters, and wo think they ought lo do so.

Col. Sholl Conies Again. ms SECOND ADDltBSS. To the Editor of The News a/<d Courier: In nnswor ',0 tho communi oation of Col. I redol? .Jones, pub lished in Thc News and Courter on tho 8(1 instant, allow nie to say that I am afraid iie has taken a one-sided view of the call for a Convention of the Farmers' Association, which is to he hehl at Columbia <?? March 27. proximo. The eall, when boiled down and tersely staled amounts to this: First. A demand for a more economical government by the reduc tion of expenses, salaries and unnec essary "existing institutions" where over practicable and possible, which will insure general reduction of taxes, as well as the benefits of au agricul tural college, without increasing the burdens of our people. Second. A demand for cheaper, more practical and more soicntiiio education for the farmers and me chanics, artisans and laborers in the Slate, all of which is embraced in the demand for au agricultural col lege. Third. A demand that the Fand scrip ami Hatch funds, the agricul tural bureau, and fertilizer funds be used for the benefit of those who pay them, or for the purpose for which they were intended, instead of being diverted and monopolized for other "existing institutions" as they have been. Fourth. A demand that the rail road commission be made of nonie use to the State, or abolished alto gether, so ilint thc responsibility may rest squarely upon the railroads tor any mismanagement ami oppression until such time as the people may see lil to curb and control them, by fair and proper laws. Fifth. A demand for reapportion ment of Representatives and Sena tors in the General Assembly, ami also in our Democratic. Conventions, so that all parts of ?he Stale may lu- fairly represented, ami (be State freed from the autocrat ie. control of certain parlies and places, rcgnrd I'-s-of tho will ami wishes (d' the people. Sixth. A demand for a constitu tional convention by which our judi ciary and corta in fundamental laws could be reformed, thereby making a better and more economical gov ernment of the State possible. Seventh. A demand that the pen itentiary system be so conducted as to give the greatest possible return to the Stale, holli in money, and in the improvement of our public works, roads, highways, bridges, etc. Kighlh. A demand that the South Carolina University, which has had no opposition from us, should take care of its own interests, and thal its friends and advocates should cease their opposition to the Clem son Agricultural and Mechanical College, for in truth there is no nec essary antagonism between the t wo. These are lin* principal demands maile in the call which I issued, at the request of the executive com mittee (d' the Farmers' Association, and the call ends as follows : "We therefore issue the call for a convention of those Democrats win? sympathize with our view-; and pur poses, as herein set forth to meet in Columbia in the House of Represen tatives on Thursday, the 27th day (d' March proximo, at \'l o'clock M., to nominate a ticket for every State oflleer, from Governor down, to be pul in the lield bu- rat i tient ion or re jection by tlie next Democratic Stale Convention, and wo pledge ourselves tonbido the result, whether that is for us or against MN " Now is there a single demand made therein thal was not made in tho Farmer.-' Convent ion of ISS(>, and which lias not been repealed time Sud again, both in ami out ol' our conventions, up lo the present time? The farmers do represent about eighty percent, of the people of the Stale, and they have endeav ored by every means in their power to secure the benefits and remedy thc evils alluded to in tho call, and they have also endeavored to "mod ify thc laws ol' the Si.ile by other met hods," and now, al ler having In eu bitterly opposed and thwarted at every turn, they have been compelled tn call a convention (d' all those who sympathize with them and their views for the purpose ol' nominating a lick? t which will go before tho peo ple and advocate them. The call makes no dist incl ion as to professions, callings or classes, and all "artisans, mechanics and laborers, as well as all professional and mer cantile classes who sympathize with us," are invited to co-operate. Certainly "the Democratic party is strong enough, and good enough," and we do not propose to use any other, bul we certainly have the right inside of tin? party to meet, form?late our views, let our wants be made known, ami put representa tives In the lield who will advocate them, and most surely, we admit the right ol' others who do not agree with us to pursue a similar course. Of course it would suit some people for lis to go along in thc old ruts, ami (ot other people control tis, ns they see lit, but wc have found that tho "usual methods" aro inadequate to tho occasion, particularly as they are under tho control of "existing institutions." The Clemson College will not bo secure until we have a Legislature perfectly in sympathy with us, and our other demands will not bo com plied with until we have a Deino ..,.,>.:,. f <... .....i Qt.i. ri - OrUllU (k/OI]YOIll>|QIJ, .um <? >'i.nv viuc eminent in perfect accord with us. lt" we sit still, rely upon "ordinary methods," allow our Democratic Convention, State Coverntnent and Qenoral Assembly to be controlled as they have been, we can only ex pect a repetition of the ring rule which has so long been the bane of the State. (J. W. SllKIX. Laurens Court House, S. C., Feb ruary 7, 1800. The Alliance is (trowing* Thc Cotton Plant says : The Slate President and State Organizer ? finished their tour of the Stale on , last Saturday, their last meeting being held at Anderson, and returned , lo their homes the first of this week, and in due course of time the results ol' their observations ami investiga- , lions will be reported at length in ? the columns of the Cotton Plant. While not intending to anticipate thc reports of these officials, we take thc liberty of saying that they will , show the order lo be in first rate eon- , dil ion in every section of the Stale. They have conferred willi represen tatives of the order in nearly every county, and with only two exceptions thc most cheerful and hopeful accounts were received. The breth ren generally arc ?ll the best of spirits and are more enthusiastic than al any t ime in thc history of the order in this State. The results of co-operation in buying supplies last year gave abund an! satisfaction, and SUV cd lens of thousands of dollars lo thc members, and the prospects arc that even greater savings will be made the pr?sent year. Thc opposition of merchants and agents of manufacturing concerns willi which thc order was confronted a year ago, and which in some coun ties engendered bitterness ami ill feeling between the farmers and themselves, has in a great measure subsided. With few exceptions, the merchants and agents in towns and cities are now willing, and in some cases seem anxious, lo secure the trade of the members, and evi dently better understand the pur poses of thc order. Thc co-operative efforts of thc fanners arc no longer regarded as a blow at thc legitimate mercantile interests of thc country, and thc grim spectre (d' disaster and financial ruin which so many business men foresaw resulting from the move incut has proven lo be only the fruit ol' wild imaginings. The oilier bas stood thc test ?d' one year with great, (.redil to itself, and this fact has given confidence ill its methods. Wc have yet to hear of a single agent of the order, or of a single sub-Alliance in the Slate, which has failed lo meet honest obligations. The organization is gaining in material strength every day, and is proving a blessing to every interest fostered by our people. It is build ing up agriculture, the great creative industry of our State, and which everybody recognizes as the one on which all others depend. The Whiskey Problem. One night last week Revenue ?Ulcer Rutledge and others made a mid in the neighborhood of I b?che lo r's Uotreat, found a blockade dis tillery in full operation, captured the dill ami destroyed about six hundred gallons of beer, but the stronger luid had boen removed. The "moori dlincrs" made their escape and nive md yet been arrested. From ippearances, it is said this business iud been carried on in that place for ionic lime. It is strange that men cnowing the strictness of the Tinted "Hates and Stale laws on the subject .viii persist in making and trallie in his accursed stuff; stranger slill hat they should be daring enough Lo engage in so illegal and ruinous a nisi ll ess, under I be very noses of (be einpertile and Christian people id thal neighborhood.- Westminster ?Ulnm i'. .Miles Rollins, who was arrested uni lined last fall for selling whiskey, H.ir Toeoon, lias been making his ionic in or near Westminster and haling out tfie vile poison. The .thcr day a barrel of whiskey was found in bis possession. Ile was ar rested, his hands tied and he was il aced on a wagon and was being .arried to the lockup, when they met mother wagon. While passing, Rol lins sprang to the street, ran round >y the side ol' the other wagon, and partially protected by it from the ? dst ? >1 shots id' the olllccr, he escaped lo (he woods.

About cighleon months ago, investments of foreign capital, par ticularly that of British capital, began V> he made in American com mercial enterprises. This investment was suggested and stimulated by the organization of a Corporation which "syndicated" the Hale of the .Sir Edwin Guinness ale and stout breweries, of Scotland. The surplus capita! of the world's metropolis having turned such a quick penny in this speculation, inunediately sought for a new field, and naturally attention was directed lo this country. A thorough system of exploitation began. London and oilier large English municipalities have a body of highly trained and skillful men called "chartered ac countants," whose reports are ac cepted with implicit faith by all financial institutions in England. The task which these men had to preform was to verify the book accounts of the various institutions, take an inventory of the plants ex amined, and substantiate statements made in regard to business. The work of investing in American enterprises in a short lime became a regular organized business. A large number of properties have been examined by these chartered account nuts, and negotiated through the brokers of various syndicates. It is not one but many different organized linnncial associations which have taken up these properties and "iloatod" ur "placed" them. The result, thc editor of the Architecture um/ liuiUlinf/ believes, will be highly beneficial to the indus trial interests of the country, pro vided the venders keep good faith with the vendees. This provision is necessary, because the system pur sued generally is to buy any given property outright, and retain some one who has been prominently con nected with the business to superin tend its continuance under a salary. Thus the business is conducted In experienced hands. The idea in volved in the purchase on the part of the vendee is that for himself and his associates he can command a business which will pay as an invest ment tillich more than the paltry two or three per cent which the same money will command nt home. The investments taken are generally sound, substantial, thoroughly estab lished business ventures, and tho direct consequence bf this influx of foreign capital, so far, has hi en highly beneficial. The ultimate tendency, we believe, will bo to secure further investment ill enter prises that need additional capital to promote further progress. We do not believe in the alleged statements of the opponents of these Invest ments, that the ultimate outcome will be a drain on our resources to enrich a foreign bondholder, for whenever that point is roached that his interests are greater in this coun try than in the land of his nativity, it has generally resulted in the mov ing to thal country of the foreign bondholder. It is a monstrous and pernicious doctrine to uphold that the foreign bondholder has been a drain upon ibis country's resources. On lld- contrary, we owe to him the moans by which our resources have been brought lo their present great development, and his coining should he encouraged rather than impeded.
