?TA-TICOMMO??. P. A. ?HTH. B. T. JAVMKS. BY THOMuPSON, SMITH & JAYNES. T?l^SD?YrO?a^BER 2, 1890. The Bolt at Last. Ju?gu A. ?. Haakell, o? Colombia, is out in a tworOplutnn attSclO ln tho Charleston Now* and Couriot ct Tuesday, Seplvinber 80, doilnlng Ids pOStloh, and attempt lng to make it understood. Ile says ho cannot accept a nomination by tho Republican patty, but ho ls for running a tlokot in opposition to Ti'lman, and tho negro vote may bo properly solicited to compass his Ulfoat. Notwithstanding thia advlco of ox .?udgo Haskell, wo bollOTO tho poople v<lll, as they sbcii'?, sa&tsln Ibo regular Jioiuocratlo ticket headed by Mr. Tillman. This ls no timo for bolting, and ho who encourages lt, ho ho groat or small, of high or low dogroo, may bo put down as an onomy to whlto supremacy and good Democratic government. Tho Tariff Bill Passed the flouso on ?'.linday last and was ordorod to tho Sonato. Tito Wash ington correspondent of thu Now York Herald dosoribos Ita loading loaturos as follows : '.Tho history of nations probably docs not record tho enactment of a measure which is so woll calculated to burdon tho pooplo with needless, inexcusable taxa tion. Tho coat, of nearly, all thc ?ocess? tlcH of lifo is enhanced to tho consumer for tho protonded object of building up homo industries. ''Tho cheaper tho goods, invariably tito* higher is tho rato of tho duty; This is ospcoially true of all articles of food, drink and wearing apparel, sugar alone oxcopted. "Thoro aro no foroign mavkots in it for tho Amoricau farmor, for its offect is wholly in tho direction of restricting trade with othor peoples. Thoro in no outlot in it for tho surplus productions of tho Amoricau manufacturer, for ho is denied tho right to purchase bin raw materials in tho cheapest markets. "Especially does tho now law woiglt hoavily upon tho Amoricau importor, tho into of duty in ninny cases hoing so high aa to render tboir importation impossible. It lins put tho importing business under bau and sorvos notico on those engaged in it to rolinguish or starvo. "Tho bill isa8cctional bill. It was con ceived in iniquity and it lins been framed without rogan! to the truo interest of a majority of tho pooplo of tho country. "Its bonoilciarios aro largoly confined to a fow localities-Pennsylvania and Ohio proforrcd. Thoy aro tho tariff barons, already mado millionaires by tho protection Bystom, who furnished tho monoy to olect a Republican President in 1888, nnd who demand reimbursement for their past outlay nnd additional opportu nities if thoy wore to furnish futuro cam paign funds. "Tho bill is inoroly tho execution of tho contract with those gentlemen, noth ing more, nor less." As Others Seo Us. .Wo reproduce tho following double loaded editorial, which appeared in tho Atlanta OonalUuiioat 27th .September, sotting forth in a strong light tho nocas sity for union and reconciliation among tho Democrats of South Carolina. What ls thoro said meeta so woll with our approval that wo lay it before our readers without further noto or comment; "Wo trust that Colonel A. C. Hnskoll and tho gontlemon named with him on tho tickot suggested being considered by tho South Carolina Republican Kxocti tivo Committco, will not allow tho uso of their names for such a purpose, nor do wo believe they will. Cortainly it is not to bo oxpected thnt they will thus givo aid or comfort to the party which once hold South Carolina under bayonet rule and cai pot bag oppression. "It cannot bo presumed that because tho farming masses have taken hold of tho State government, through the Demo cratic party, these gentlemen, who havo been accustomed to rulo, will refuse to submit to tho will of tho pooplo. "It cannot bo expected that mon who havo always been brave and loyal to their State will now plunge into a policy of rule or ruin. It cannot bo taken for granted that tho classos who hove been favored so long by tho musses, who stood shoulder to shoulder with them in tho trying times of 1870, will now desert tho m nasos of tboir own race to bring back tho ascendancy of the negro and tho scnlawag. Those things cannot be taken for granted, and wo havo too high ro gnrd for Colonol Haskell and tho gontle mon mentioned in connection with him to heliovo that they would for a moment tolorato such uso of their names. "It is truo that tho bitterness of fac tions hus hoon oxtromo. nnd that tho voico of crimination and recrimination lins been malignant, but it is tho part of true men mid patriots to put their loyalty to South Carolina ahovo nil personal eon fddorntions, und on no account would thoy bo justified in consigning their fair Stato to tho danger of anet" >r era of negro domination nnd Republican plun dor. This is tho inevitable result of Democratic disruption. "As to the fairness of the Democratic nomination thoro is no question. Tho farmers sont up a majority, and they nominated Tillman. It is tho duty of tho minority to submit gracefully, as othor minorities havo submitted before The bitterness of tho campaign is no excuse for bolting tho nomination, so long as it is tho fair expression of tho will of tho majority. If thoro aro personal griev ances growing out of tho campaign, they should bo treated ns personal matters, and ought not to bo made tho oxcuso of dosortion from tho party which redeemed South Carolina, and to which theso gen tlemen owo, not only whatovor official proforment thoy may havo enjoyed, but ovon tho protection of their proporty from tho despoiling administrations of a corrupt party. "Tho timo was when tho pooplo of South Carolina wero robbed by a corrupt govommont, and industry languished whilo freedom was a farce Tho noblo vlrtuo of self-control, so nobly exempli fied in tho conduct of tho whito poople of South Carolina during tho struggle for hor redemption, should not desert thom now. If class agitation hos divided tho pooplo, lot them make tho most of tho situation, and let tho ruling class look woll to tlioir laurels. "A timely word to tho majority is boro not unfitting. Lot them realizo that 1m medlate'yjupou their victory a now duty falls upon tlioir shoulders--tho duty of Conciliation, Tho voico of outcry and acrimony should now bo hushed. It ill becomes it vlotor to inject turtbor bitter ness Into tho conditio? of ftn&titt whsn tho fight ?B ovor and tho natural ordor of things ls tho healing of tho wcundod. It ls timo for common sonso and self oo n i roi to prevail in South Carolluo, and ti ls Imperative .-'that tho good of their Stato and tho loyalty to their party should bo tho first consid?rations with all Pomoorats." Au Appreciative Letter. GRANRUHRV, TEXAS, Sopt. 20, 1800. To tho Editora of Keowee Courter : I bog to oxpross my appreciation of tho nm.nd doctrino as announced tn tho edito rial columns of tho COURIER in its issuo of tbo 18th instant. Tho groat mass of tho good people of tho old Commonwealth of South Caro lina, my nativo Stato, are still thoroughly Democratic in thoir political viows, and if tltoy havo boon influenced by falso issues in tho lato canvnss, or havo boon following tho leadership of mon without oxporionco in State-craft, I think it eau bo safely said thoy havo lost nothing of patriotism, vlrtuo or loyalty to tho best interests of tho Stato. Gon. Bratten and Col. Ilnskoll know ns woll ns v o do that tito common pooplo, tho plebi \ns of that State, can bo trusted to do their duty in timos that trv mon's souls, a.s thoy did on that dark day in October, lc"4, v.'hca mo Conornl, loading his pooplo in tho face of tbo onomy, was abut from his borso by a n crcilcss mis sile, and on that samo memo.-able day tho body 01 tho Colonol was lol as dead on tho battle-field, and shamefully robbed by cowardly stragglors of dio onomy. Thoy aro both truo men to-d.iy and will stand or full with thoir own \ ooplo, who thor guided by skillful lendors or not. Pardon this scorning intrusion of ono out side of bis nativo State lines, but still with you inside of tho Domocratio party lines, tito doctrinos and principles of which aro our only hopo for good govern ment. Truly yours, J. N. DOVI.K. Tho Simon Pure llndicnls. Tho Charleston World has thc fol lowing article on tho "Republican Ticket in South Carolina": 'COLUMBIA, September 20.-W. R. Mcmminger, of Charleston, for Gov ernor! That was tho rumor given in this correspondence tho day after tho Republican convention adjourned. That is thc man that will bc pitted against Tillman. Tho World-Budget correspondent has this from tho most authoritative source-Dr. Mcmmin ger himsoif. Now is tho time for Democrats of high and low degree to striko hands and unite against tho common enemy. After years of scheming tho would-be "military Governor," tho wily J. Hendrix McLane, is getting in his work. Harmless as ho has been, with his mythical host at his back, a successful coalition with the dominant faction of the Regular Republican party gives puissance to his linc Italian band. His overtures to tho bone and sinow to tho Demo cratic opposition have been success ful, and bo has boon allowed to name a Stato ticket which regular Repub licans will support. For months tho post office in this city has been the stamping ground for tho Mel,une element, generally known as independents, or independ ent Republicans, but whioh they stylo "Conservative Republicans. Secret meetings havo been hold regu larly among tho leading spirits, such men as MoLone, Hunter, of Union. Ra.com, of Sumter, Powell, of Aiken. A systematic organization was effected, with McLane as Chair man of tlie Stato Committee, which comprises ono member from each Congressional I )istrict. Considerable following is claimed, as for instance it is stated they haye a voting strength of GOO in Chester county. Thcso meetings culminated in a regular State convention, the call for which was issued by State Cha irma?. McLane-not published, though and which wns held in tho grand jury room of the post ?frico building in this city thc night of the State Re publican convention, September 17. Seventeen counties wore represented by about fifty delegates. While tho details of the proceed ings aro not known, thc World Budget's representative succeeded in obtaining a fall and absolutely cor rect summary of thc platform. It was read to him by Dr. Mom IP. ingor from a complete copy whioh he had in his hand. TIIK PLATFORM. The attitude presented by the Re publican party nt, tho present junc ture is ono essentially conservative and stands square' y opposed to the radical and even revolutionary policy advocated by our opponents. There is one principle that wo do especially insist upon, namely, that elections bc honestly conducted. We insist upon a free ballot and fair count. Thc justice of such a claim no honest citizen can deny. We are opposed to tho calling of a constitutional convention. Such action wo consider inadvisable and inexpedient. So far as concerns education, we aro very generally satisfied with the advantages wo are now enjoying, and are opposed to any curtailment of thc same. In relation to capital wc are emi nently in favor of its encouragement and aro opposed to all discrimination for or agaiuat railroads and other cor porations. Wo arc in favor of carefully maintaining tho credit of the State by an honest and just settlement of thc State debt. As Republicans wo arc in favor of the protective system and consider that it is essentially necessary to tho lifo and well-being of our infant Southern industries. Moreover, in consonance with such economical system we arc in favor of national aid for our merchant marino, at least until commercial r?oiprosity shall have rendered such aid unnecessary. OTU RR PA ??T1CUI.AUS. Dr. Mcmminger arrived here Wednesday, .'.nd has been in consul tation with ot)ior loaders of the "Conservative" party. Ho was ?n terviowod by a world-JBxt?get re porter, and whilo at first unwilling to speak for publication, finally con sented to sut at rest tho rumors re snooting probable aoiuiuuiions by the Republican party. Ile stated that the "Conservative*' wing had presented a full State ticket to tiie regular Republican Exeoutivo Committee nt its mooting hero Saturday, and it had been mutually agreed to run it. Tho tiokot will bo formally promul gated by tho committee at its moot ing hore October 6. All sections of the Stato will bo represented on it. It is known a man from Richland county will bo on it. What plaoo J. Hendrix MoLnno has resorvod for himself is not slated. Dr. Mommingor said that tho rota tions of thc two wings of tho Re publican party woro amicable, and that this Stato tiokot represents tho party ns a wholo. Tho "Conserva tive" wing was composed ontirely of whites. Tho platform given abovo represents thc attitude tho party would now tako in thc campaign. It was in porfcot logical coiiBistonoo with that adopted by tho regular Re publican Stato convention. Dr. Mommingor did not fool at liberty to disoloso tho rest of tho names on thc tiokot. What tho President of Clemson College Says. [Prom tho Palmetto School Journal.] KOUT HIM., August 29, 1890. DKAUSIK: In roply to your re quest of thc '28th instant 1 give you tho facts in regard to progress hero, which may bo of interest to your readers. Of course a largo amount of preliminary work was necessary boforo building could oven begin. At present thoro aro completed tho necessary tomporary buildings for tho protection of tho workmen. Tho timber for theso buildings was sawed on the Kort Hill place, and tho saw mill is running daily, furnishing much of tho lumber to bo used in the present buildings. Tho bricks (8,000,000 by tho first contract) aro being made by tho Messrs. Pool, of Newberry. One kiln of 160,000 is now hoing burned, another is half made, and tho work will go steadily on as long ns good wonthcr lasts. Ono million of bricks havo to bo delivered before January 1. Tho chemistry building is now under way, under contract with Mr. Rcecham, of Anderson. Two other permanent buildings will bo up along with this, but not by contract. Those three buildings will take one-half of I tho first million of bricks, but, leave enough for an carly start in tho spring on thc other buildings. The steam brick machine turns out over 20,000 bricks a day. This will start again early in tho spring and kocp a groat crowd of hands supplied, who will bc ongi.ged on the main build ing, the dormitories, the various pro fessors' housos, etc., otc. Tho plan now is to open Clemson for agricul tural students ono year from now, and at tho end of another year to havo the mechanical hall, etc., ready for reception of students in this department. All tho rough work here is being done by fifty convicts, furnished by the State. This dimin ishes very much tho cost of building. An immense number of visitors came to Fort Hill to see thc work, Soing on, and the Calhoun relics, fcarly two hundred in one day was the record once. There seems to be no lessening in thc interest in this line. For the information of your far mer readers I will state that tho course at Clemson will bo planned for thc reception of students who have gone through the ordinary pub lic schools of thc country. Others who have had bettor advantages can begin higher. It will bc so arranged that any farmer who can afford to havo h'lB son at homo doing nothing can afford to send him to Clemson College. Thc full faculty will not be selected until next summer. All of the important members of tho faculty will bc selected with groat care from men who have already made a record for faithfulness and ability. It is the hope and expectation of those hav ing the fortunes of thc Col logo in charge that it may bo recognized in a very short time as tho leading agricultural and mechanical collogo of the South. Thc liberal Clemson bequest, with oven ?{(30,000 annually from thc Stato, will give tho Collogo the largest rovonuo of any institu tion, possibly, South of the Potomac. The last Federal grant to all tho agricultural colleges will bo a great help in tho way of annual revenue. All the arrangements of the College will be of a character to teach tts students that labor is honorable. Students who desire to do moro work than is required of all will have their interests also attended to. It would be well for the youth of the State of limited means to make pre paration in the year boforo them, before tho College opens, to bo in position to accept the advantages which this institution will offer them later. Thc instruction will be of the most practical and thorough charac ter. If a student should stay here but a part of tho timo in a hill course, it is believed, he will return to bis farm lifo a happier and a far more useful man, UH a healthy, pro gressive spirit will bo stimulated by all tho influences of the College. Very truly yours, H. A. STUOOK. Mrs. Ti Un?an. Mrs. lion R. Tillman, soon to bc the first lady of South Carolina, was in Augusta yesterday. Under her direction came sevoral large wagons with produce, which in short order gave way to provisions, etc., and the teams started homeward again. Mrs. Tillman has boon an able, devoted helpmate to ber husband, and during his political campaigning, so it is said, managed their plantation ad mirably. Who is a Goorgia lady and bas a number of warm friends in Augusta.-Augusta Chronicle, Sep tember 21. New Railroad Routes* Tho following from an ?ndorson special to tho Columbia Register re fore to a sohorao that promises great iriiiiw? for this section : wThe lino is to run front Clinton, on tho Columbia, Newberry ana Laurens road, through Honea Path, Anderson, Townvllle, Westnjiustor, Clayton, Ga., R nb nu Cap and 'Knox ville. The Georgia,'Carolina and Northern Railroad is behind tho sohorao. Surveying partios uro ro povtcd nonrly o\ cry day by country people and mountaineers who como into town. "Rabun Gap has boon tho deside ratum of railroads for many y oars, and a groat number of companies havo boon formed to offeot a pass, but they havo all failod un to now. Tho Georgia, Carolina and Northorn seems to stop nt nothing, and they will probably mako a success of it. This road is after an East and West lino ns well as a North and South ono. "Groat things aro oxpectcd of this lino, and as tho company that backs the ontcrpriso is ono that docs not tritio away timo, it is probable that in a few yoars tho grand link that has been the droam of years to tho pcoplo of South Carolina will be completo.'' Col. J. C. Haskell ou tho Situation. Col. John C. Haskell, of Columbia, was interviewed by a reporter for tho Charleston World last Friday. It has tho ring of tho right metal : Col. Haskell said ho had fought Tillman in fighting time, but that was now over. Tho pcoplo havo de clared for him, and it was time for Demoorats to un ito for tho good of the Stato. Said ho : "As to my position, 1 don't think thoro has ovor been any doubt about it in any one's mind. 1 havo ox prosscd mysolf fully during tho oan vass, and have changed in no single opinion. Tho pcomo have chosen Tillman, and I shall treat all bis re commendations precisoly ns I have those of other Governors, supporting such ns I think right, and opposing such as I think wrong." When asked as to whether ho would say anything in regard to the course of his brother, Judgo A. C. Haskell, concerning supposable ac tion of tho Republicans, ho replied : "Judge Haskell has vory naturally declined to notice utterly false sug gestions to tho effect that ho has in any way countenanced tho uso of his name by Republicans. His friends agreo with nim in thinking bo can afford to treat with contempt uous silence tho utterly irresponsible talk there has been on the subject." An Awful Railroad Crash. WALLA WALLA, W., September '27. -Through a gentleman from Pen dleton, nows was received this morn ing of a railroad disaster at Wau caiv/.a, eight miles East of Shoshone, on tho Oregon Short Line, at 8 o'clock Friday morning. Tho station is tho passing point for tho Union Pacific fast passenger trains. The East bound train pulled into tho Btution and was sido tracked. A minute lator tho West bound train ran into the station. The switch to tho Western end of the side track was open and it ran bead on into the East bound train, telescoping both trains. The informant says the pas senger cars were all smashed. When he left twenty dead bodies had been taken out, and it was thought that many moro were taken from the wreck. All Friday's trains were abandoned and passengers this side were delayed as there was no train leaving Huntington that day. Charleston's "East Sido Torminal." CH A ULKSTON, S.C., Soptomboi* 26. -The first train passed over the East Shore Terminal Railroad to-day at 1.22 P. M. and marked tho dawn of a new era in tho history of Charleston. For the first time in its history tho loaded train ran down to tho water's edge along tho East Shore water-front. Tho train con sisted of four loaded freight cars of the Charleston & Savannah Railway, three loaded with stoves and ono loaded with cotton. Tho South Carolina Railway connections will bo completed tomorrow, it is expected, and tho day of tho cotton dray in Charleston is about onded. The bolt lino runs from the railroad ter minus to every wharf in tho city North of Market Street. It will be extended to South Battery the com ing spring. CHAKI.KSTON, S. C., September'27. -Engine No. 30, of tho South Caro lina Railway pulled out of tho Ann Street yard *\t 8 o'clock this morning with a trair loaded with 700 bales of cotton which, in less than half an hour was distributed at tho sides of the ships along the wharves waiting to receive them. linter in tho day another train with 300 bales also passed over the East Shore Terminal. A Hint of tho Tillman Progrnnmie. It is time that notico bc served on these political weather-cocks that the day when either newspapers or politicians can face both to tiio East and to the West, bas departed. Every office-holder, who was an "of fensive partisan" during tho cam paign, should be kicked out sano c?r?monie as soon ns possible aftor Governor Tillman's inauguration. Charleston World, Editorial, Coi.uMniA, September 27.--The weekly report of tho condition of the weather and tho crops issued to night says: "Tba rain has been dis astrous to cotton. Poa vino hay bas been materially injured. Tho con tinuous raino and want of sunshine has greatly rod need tho percentago of thc cotton crop nnd tho prospects for tho ordinary averago crop are now gloomy." MADISON, OHIO, Seplombor 29, Tho old steno warehouse of tho Richwood distillery, sit ;atod in Ken tucky, opposite this city, was do fltroyed py fire yesterday. Tho house contained 10,000 bar roi s of tax-pftid whiskey. , Tho property and whiskoy belonged to Lovy & Bro., of Cinoinnati, Oliio. Tho fire department of Madison crossed tho river and succeeded in saving tho distillery and tho adjoining ware house which contained over 7,000 barrels of whiskey.
