A BARNWELL- SENSATION. ' A Prominent Physician Charged With Malpractice. Columbia, 8. C.?News of a very i sensational affair comes from Barnwell, involving a prominent physician. Last Thursday the coroner was called upon to hold an inquest over the dead bodies of a young white woman who, it appears, had b:en Jed astray by the overtures of a young railroad contractor from the West, and her infant. A jury was empanelled and several witnesses examined. Including r 9 liner highly intelligent and respectable physicians and the following verdict was rendered: "That the deceased came to her death from child-bed fever, caused by an ab ortion committed by Dr.O. R. C.Todd." Dr. Todd wa9 arrested upon a charge in accordance with the jury's finding and furnished bond in the sum of $1,500 for bit appearance at the Court of Gcreral r' Public opinion is about evenly divided in the matter. Dr. Todd is the brother-in-law of Abraham Lincoln and a surgeon of no mean repute. It is said that he amputated no less than 700 limbs during the late war. He was in the Confederate service. If convicted of the charge he could be puuished by imprisonment in the penitentiary for not less than five or more than ten years. MONEY FOR THE FARMER8.

Why? There is not enough ionov: ****** THE ALLIANCE NOT I'AKTIKAN. The Nashvillo Toiler gives the followig definition of the non-partisan course ic Alliance is pursuing in Tennessee: "The members of the Order e.veryhere surely understand the non-partisan liaracter of the Alliance. It is for the enetit of those on the outside of the >rder that we again present the duties f Alliance lodges toward political paries. This is made more necessary beause of the position taken by ^he Toiler n independent action. "80 far not a single Alliance lodge 1 as endorsed the People's party, although nany People party clubs have been organBed in the State. YVc sincerely hope his policy will be continued. The Alliince is aimed to be a school for the farm r?, where they can discuss the science d government in a "strictly non-partisan vay." The necessity of continuing the uganizntiou non partisan can lie clearly ecn when we consider the question of ts growth. If to join the Alliance meant o join thn People's party, the Demo;ratic and Itcpnhlican tanners who have followed their parties through good or ;vH, and who have never been taught to ioubt the wisdom of bossism, would remain out of the Alliance, nnd for that reason the scales would never fall from their eyes. "The education acquired in the Alliance lodges has developed into the most wonderful concensus of opinion ever recorded. The inve-tigation developed a wrong, further investigation developed two wrongs, nnd still further investigation developed three wrongs, which are covered by the St. Louis platform, under the heads. "Money, Land nnd Transportation." It was by agitatiou and education iiiat wc concluded that the remedy lies only in the formation of a now party. You know that you would never have joined the Alliance had It meant A slipping of the party collar, because you once loved thnt d?ar old halter. Then when you looked at it in that light it is beat never inside of an Alliance lodge, to attempt an endorsement of the People's party. Have your clubs to meet the aame night after the adjournment of the lodge. Each lodge should stand firmly by tun Gcaia and St. Louis demands, but do not put the party bridle on inside the lodge. Let Democrats, Republican* and People's party men all feel free," " V ipf
