The Moat Pugnacious Day of the

COLUMBIANS. C.?Ihfe most exciting
mcotitig of thfe State batnpaign occurred
Thursday At Union. Thire came dangerously
near being a personal difficulty
i>n the stand, betwfeen Governor
Tillman and Col. Orr, the Conservative
candidate for Lieutenant Governor,which
voyld have resulted in a Hot.
In his speech, Governor Tillman asked
Colonel Orr for h:s authority for saying
that a preacher had said that he (Tillman)
daunted his profanity in public. Col.
Orr replied that he did Qet divulge conversations
and added that Tollman knew
i he statement was true ae he couid ascertain
by appealing to the preachers ih general
The Governor said thkt sometimes an
oath slipped out. hut, Jwu? so
nitty on <foe occasion during the campaign.
He appealed to the ladies prescntjo
signify if in their opinion they
considered him a blackguard, but
there was no response from them.
I'lic Governor then said that Orr or any
other mm who said he flaunted his profanity
in public lied.
Col. Orr advanced to the Governor and
atching him by the arm wheeled him
around and asked him if he Was trying
to rnise a personal difficulty.. Tillman
said he was not and Orr shook hi* Anger
in his face aud told him that he Could
not iutiinsti that he (Orr) lied Without
having it thrown in his (Tillman'c) teeth.
He told him further that Tillman bad
boasted of being "Almighty God gentleman."
The Governor said so he had, and Orr
replied that He did not do himself oredit
when He made you. He again caught
hold of the Governor and asked him if
lie meant to intimate that he was a liar.
The Governor said that it Orr did --4

k'By this time the crowd had become a
rilffinp mnlv Pennln rlimhurl tin nn tV>?
stand. Men pulled off their coats, swore
like troopers and gathered aroUnd the
two men. It looked for all the world as
if blood was to be shed. Col. Orr stood
to the rack and told Tillman he had repeatedly
used curse words on the 6tand.
The Governor said he bal not done it
but onre, aud he would leave it to exGovernor
8heppard who, however, had
noth'mg to say. The excitement by this
time was intense. Col. Orr again caught
hold of Tillman, who had turned bis
head toward the crowd in ft out, and told
him if he wanted a light be could get it.
The Governor said he did not ana Col
Orr went back to his seat, remarking that
Tillman must let him alo e. The Governor

recent progress of the South. The reCo.d
is one which every Southerner will
read with pride and every other American
should rejoice in. Ws can take only
a few of the most striking passages in
that record. The 8outh produced 585,942,000
bushels of corn in 1891, a gain
of bout 75 per cent, over the production
in 1881. The gain in cotton production
wa< about the-same, from 5,450,000 bales
in 1881 to nearly 9,000,000 bales last
year. The gain in railroads is even more
remarkable. Ten years ago the South
had 23,000 miles of railroad; now it has
about 45,000, a gain of nearly 90 per
cent, and the increase in the number ol
passengers and the amount of freight carried
has been enormous. Between 23,000,000
and 24,000,000 tons of coal were
mined in tbu South in 1891, only about
6,000,000 in 1881. The value of exports
from Southern ports has increased from
$257,533,401 to $349,801,999, a gain of
36 per cent., which is nearly five times
,the gain made at the other ports of the
United States. The Southern output of
iron is nearly 325 per cent, greater than
in 1881. The gain in manufacturing and
banking and all branches of business has
been great. The assessed value of
property is nearly two billions greatai
than in 1881. _______
Growing Cotton in Connecticut.
Putnam, Conn.?David Johnson, i
spruce old colored man of Pom fret street,
who was ou a big Southern plantatioi
"befo' de wah," is teaching his neigh'
bore that cotton may be grown iu Con
necticut as successfully ns "way dovr
South in Dixie." David is gardeuer fo
Benjamin Orosvenor and has a little farn
of his own at Pomfret Street. He har
been trying vainly for several years t<
make peofne believe his cotton theory,
and th's year has verified it by growini
cotton on his farm. His crop is a stnai
one, but it looks splendid. Johnson,
who tended thousands of seres of cottOE
in the South, says that his Pomfret Street
{slants are quite as luxuriant and prorais
|ng as any that are raised in Dixie. H<
adds that, while the Northern season is i
short one, the soil here is richet and th<
plants thrive better than in the South.
He also grows tine sweet potatoes.

ALLIANCE COLUMN. |
tatereeting Reading Of And For
the Order. ,
United States Senator Peffor, of Kenan*.
on the Onrfency Question.
Replying to your request nnder date 1
of the 5th instant inrelation to supplying
the place of national band circulation,
I hw to eifi that io my own
judgment the beat eubatituto is what
the people of Kan tea favored fourteen
years ago, namely, United 8t .tea notes,
commonly called greenbacks; for ns you
know, national bank notes are fcdecraable
in United States notes. I think it
would be well to abolish the whole sysiMaettoX
^lta|s Ifo banking
institution shonld^dg^pef-mitted t? issue
anything which i*TO be used as legal
tender money unless the issue is supported
by the power, au<J the inaterinl used,
whatever it may hi, should not be redeemable
in anythibg. It ought to go
out to the people as ~$ioney, fullfledgod,
ready for duty, without any weight or
impediment or conditions of nny sort,
what ver. What we use as money should
be absolutely free frjfii all conditions, so
that there could be up "runs" on banks
in time of stringency, and no panics because
debtors are unable to obtain legaltender
money. I belr ve that the time
has come to nationalize our money. We
bonk one long step in that directiou when
we adopted our national banking system.
We taxed Otitis bank notes out of
existence, substituted a national currency
for a purely lo. al ouifency; and it was |
only a short time alter embarking in this
new enterprise until! rie discovered that
the bankers of the cointry were masters
of the financial situation. We find that
lusiead of servin* thrlneoulB thev kci-vpH .
themselves. "In "188a "frei v were $858,- J
000,000 of bank notesjeircutatiou Bince
that timo about $219)0 0,000 of it has !
been retired, not bee use the people did *
not need the money, , but because the
banks realized a profit' frftm the sale of 1
their bond at premium, the bonds that ?
they had deposited as 1 security for ciiQU '
latiou . Our experience and that of other '
nations has been thabt banking corpora- '
tioos are private scheme* for profit to indi- 1
vidual persons, and oiir observation has
taught tit that there is, only one safe way J
i to avoid the dangers 10 which that sot t
of financial management subject us; tint
1 is for the nation itself io prepare its own 1
money, every dollar of-it, isauo it to the
people directly though government
agencies, wholly without "the use ifd in
tervention of banking corporations or
other private agencie^J
You undersUud fjrrm the forcg-.ing
that I would aot onlx ubstitutC United
' "fJlSTbis tfoteJ,, of frensudy'Botes," if you
choose, for national hank notes as they 1
are being retired, but I would substitute
that sort of money forari bauk issues;
and I -would do even more than that; I
would not make money--dlit of a promise
to pay; that is to say, I would not wiite
out a promise to pay rfonev and call that
promise money; but I would use a piece
of paper just as we arc now us:ng a piece
of gold or a piece of silver, and make
that money, providing} in the law what
its functions shall bo That puts the
Influence, the credit, and the power of
all the people behind the money. Then
we will have gold and silver and paper
at par, one with the Aher; and that, if
we will reduce rates ofinterest down to
the level of profit on Hbor, so that men
can make as tnuch npney farming or
blacksmithing or carmntering as they
can by lending money/ will give us a
safe currency, a sound J financial system,
and no more motley panics.

The race between Hogg and Clark for 1
the Democratic nomination for Governor
of Texas is very hot. Gov. llogg
is a little ahead; but he is not likely to j*
get the necessary two-thirds of the M5

lock, to be broken only by the nomina- . J
