Nov. 6.?The lock-out of cottm spinners
I egin t j-dav in South Lancash re. N > disorder
atlendc I tlio begiming of what may
prove to be one of the greatist strikes that
ling and h?s ever seen. The lock out is the
iciult of a determination on the put of the
rna-ter cotton spitinirs t i reduce ?v tges five
per cent.
The Fc ler.it on of Master Spiiiiie's Assocint
on is a very poworful body. It is a sort
of trade utroti of nn-tcrs It controls
directly very ucarly 2d 000,000 spin he?,
inc'u ling ue irly all tins* employed in spinning
the commonly used s z 'S of yarns
In tirect'y, the fcder .tioti influence! millions
of other spindles, an 1 the sp:nners of
tine Kcrvi tinn ni ton in itio It<?mn m.iio
agreed to step ihrir machinery in order to
throw their weight ou the site of the Gilliam
and Sialyhiidge trailers, llence, although
the owners of only 18,000 spindles
aotnnlly voted their determination to ins'st
on the 5 per cent rcduc i <n, the resolution
was more far reaching, and so fat as the
actual members of the federation are concerned,
it is positively binding on the minority,
except for suck of them as may be content
to pa; into the common fund the eutn
<>f }d. per week for every spindle they keep
runn-ng.
Tito interests ihvolvol are tremondous.
Centered almost exclusively in Fouth Lancashire,
the huge interests at stake are little
understood save by statisticians and trade
experts. A few figures, however, will suffice
to show how impor'tint a pa't cotton
plays in Brit sit natiot al economy. To
begin wi'li, fibro of the value of between
thirty and forty millions o'* pounds annually
H purchased from abroa l. this is passed
through a huge variety of processes by
work | eoplc, who receive one-eight of the
fotd wsgi-s paid in the whole ciuntry.
At a meeting of the Operative Spinners
Secie'y to-day, the secretary roported that
53,000 spinners were out.

It was organized on April 18, 188b, and
once achieved prominence. July aftir

washeld.pt which (Jen. L. F. Youniuns
delivered an address Since that time there
has been nouuoting. Governor Richard-on
who had been e'ected president, resigned,
and upon tlicdea'h of (Jen. M. L. ISonhain,
.the vice president, the organization was left
wvithout a prodding officer, and the remaining
oftieers did not consider that it devolved
npna them to lake action until yesterday.
There will be a large number of* gemlomen

A nous Thrust.?Mr. Hugh Inmnn adTising
curtailment of the cotton crop ssys :
The cotton buyer stands before you with
$300,000,200 to spend. You can get that
money for 5,000,000 boles ae readily as
you can for tlio 9,000,000 Therefore
when you sje our firm-re r.si-insc 4,000,000
mors bales than they need, and then sending
$100,000,000 of what they get West, f r
breadstuff's, you can seawbe e we are wasting
money on our fields, throwing the balance
away on Western products.
"AH this leads me to siy," said Mr. Inman
in conclusion, "that we hare the rioh
<e?t land* ia the world, and that our remedy
is to euidewn the cot ion crop to put that
extra energy inio raising our own breadatuffs
and live stock and to take the $100,000,000
which we are now sending West
and put It away for a rainy d?y."

Committed by eonte one in printing .or
superintending the printing of the tickets
for last Tuesday's election. In the first
place the ticket fwr Governor and Lieutenant
Governor were smaller than tho law demanded
and had to bo printed over. The
discovery was made bnrrly in time to correct
the etror and distribute (die legal tick
ets through the State.
The carelessness and indifference evinced
by the State Executive Committee in the
c'ection this year gives rise to grave suspicion
that their hearts were not very warm
towards the success of the democratic ticket.
We can't eeo why the County ticket
at lea* , be print?} in the Counl'es
where they Ar? voted. The Federal, Stale
and County tickets are CA-); printed on
separrtc slips, for the separata boaes, a^d
while ii may he more convenient to have
the Federal and Slate tickets printed at the
Capital, under the supervision (?) of the
State Executive Committee, the County
tickets could be printed just as well, just as
cheap, nod with as much accuracy, under
the supervision of tho respective County
Committees. The State Commi'tec, or perhaps
the Chairman, came very near causing
about one-half the votes at the p-iniary
election to be thrown out, by deciding just
on the eve of the election that only a certain
form of ticket should be uaat and
counted.

While ilie rttarns from Inst Tuesday's
election are n< i complete from nil the Stales,
tliere is no douht that C eveland and Ste*i
lis m hare been ejected by a m jorily in
tlie electoral college, ranging all the w?y
from 15 to 75.
As the fight cf the Third parly was concentrated
npainst the Democratic party,under
the Dianagi ment and command of Republican
party leaders, we may safely predict
that Thirdpaityism, in the form it was presented
in this year's campaign, nt least,
has beeu completely "snowed under" by
the people.
Evan T<>m Wa'son, the very omt>o?limrnt
of Thi< dp irtyisin, the ablest, the bitterest
and raoM uncompromising of the lerders of
that pariy, in Congress, has been defeated
befo c the people by a staunch and pure
democrat, upon the straight and we'l defined
p'rtform of the democratic party.
We, however, do not hesitate to say that
the democratic party will be on tiial, and its
nets closely scrutinised by all clnsses of
p?ople nrd all parties, during its four yrara
t<rm, and if it dors not give some prastical
indications of an earnest desire le adopt
euch reform miasurcs as ere necessaiy for
the re'ief of the people, it wi<l disappoint
a'l parties and forfeit the confidence of its
staunchest friends.
But wonders and miracles must not be
expected in the short space of four years. I
It requires time for the goo I effects of all
legislative rcljef measures to be felt by
individuals iu Upeir homes, upon their farms
and ic other rccupalions of life.
We feel confident .'hat the result of last
Tuesday's election will put new life and
hope into everj'body and every business.
The County Election

were cost in the Coun'y, and nearly all of

The s-rongest Conservatives in the County
almost to a man voted the full democratic

perhaps, three exceptiyns, came from the
Tillmanites.

'Teaehers Column," so j^taeroualy offered it
by the Editor of the Titos, I th'nk we

"A city set uvon^a h||L' By this method

There nro many questions of great importance
tha'- we mustnn-wer upon the throshhold

with each of thesa we must ileal both

the higher! object of its croition.
Thero nre, no doubt, many tenohers to bo

of ibind riinl**tie.v'i which their work
requires. They havo uot only failed to give
that attont on noccssar/ t> prepare thorn

tnotivos of pcrsomi convenience, and with
a consciousnoos of unfitness for everything
else.
The tcroher must be a model man, or

their ra'ling, or even retain that degree of
confidence wo ususliy hotlow upon ihoro
who arc entrusted with tho educational

The teacher eh-nt'd go ta his duly full of
his work, and bs impressed with its overwhelming
imparlance. >1? should fool that
his mistakes, though they may not speedily
ruin him may permanently injure his pupils.
The influence of the teacher is so great
upon the children undar his care, either for
good or evil, that it is of the utmost importance
to them, as well as to himself, that his
habits should be unexce;tionable.
It is his s-.'here t > impr >vo (he community
in which he moves, not on'y in learning,
but in morals and manners ; in everything
that is lovely and of good roport. He may
do this partly hy precept, but mostly by
example. He teaches wherever lie is. His

all the subject of observation, end, to a
great extent, of imitation hy the youth of
his,neighborhood ; if not within the entire

of the fallowing topics were hoard .

At the close of the regular programme,
some interesting items of miscellaneous

Some ooon people, who pride themselves
on be;ng very exsrrvative but are in reolity
very old-foggWh, - my that our public
schools will gradually dsvelope. aod tbst
we must .not try to do loo tnuoh st once, and
that Rome ?si not built in a day, and so
forth. Let us seo h :w this gradual develop
ment is developing. We have had a free
school sys'en, more or lest f>r a very long
time, an I we have "developed" to the
point of ra sing 51.73 a year for oaoli pupil
a'l over the Stato. North Dakota, a stale less
than half-a-dozen years old, is already contributing
frim the slate treasurery $8 00 a
year for enoh chil 1 in the public schools.
I(re believe it it the duly of the coming Legiilaturc
to put a seven months school in reaoh
of every child in South Caroliner, let it cost
what it may. The matter has been put ofT
too long a'ready.
Ir is a fearful hcre?v to suppose that tho
public sclio l-i are intended primarily for
those unnb'e to pay luiti n. Some think
this was once the cas?, juat os some think
that man was cnce monkey. Just as well
believe ih it sheriffs anil peace officers are
intended fo* thoeo not able to hiro Pinkertons
The American idea is that the public
school is a public necessity an I a / public
trust. whose mi-s on is to prepare the rising
gcncrition sfor the duties of c tizenship.
By as much as prevention is more valuablo
than cure, by so much is an efficient public
ahool system more noeded in a a'ote tban

more in that piece than sonic people may m
think of. I sm a member of the Alliance, n
and believe in its principles; and I am a te

been paying three biles of cotton rent. I ii

each. 1 hrre is about 600 aorea in tbe b

am raiisfifd It would net bring over $') en o

amount, at 8 per cent., (which the owner of b
the land says ia outrageous'/ high for a e
baok to charge for money) is $240, but let's a

You may ray I have put the price of the'' g

Now, Mr. Editor, the mon we rent from
is one of the prominent AU<nuo?msn of tho t
County, and 1 have hrard hiin abuse the ?
banks and the merchants for oppressing his h
'poor btothcr farmers," by chnrging them n
oxorhiiont prices f>r go<ds and ruinous H
prices for money. I have heard him say
that 4 per cent was as lrgh as the law ought
to allow a bank or any one else to charge
f?r money, snd tha' merchants ?ould afford
to sell goods at 10 per oent above what he
C tils cost and carriage, which 1 suppose
means to pay cb-rk hire, rent, taxes, insurance,
saying nothing about any losses
out of the 10 per cent. 1 have had some
sad expetience in keeping store roysslf, and
speak from the book, when I tell you that
it can't be done.
Now, Mr. Editor, how does this practice
of this poor Farmers' friend agree with bis
preaching? ls'n t it tho old ttory of the
other man's ox that gored?
In the same papor you say the Allianoe is
declining, and c til upon the leaders to take
it out of politics and restore tho Order to
its social, educational and business work.
Lot me tell you, it is not politics that's driving
the poor Formers out of the Order half
as much as tho high price land owners, w'.b
preach Adiance priuoiples in the Lodge,
bnt show no quarters to their poor brother
members, in renting them land or hiring
their labor. Wp spc they are not sinoere in
their prrfessions, and begin te th)qk that
tho Order is getting to be an organisation of
plutocratio land owners and office seekers.
We are tired of politics, false pretenses
and boss rule in the Lodge, and want more

At subject for the A'liance, and the Alliance
of our County has inadvertantly admitted to
its fold some speolmens of humanity who
are not only a dlsgraoe to the Agricultural
class of our people, but are unwerthy of the
namo of a man, in its true sense.
The Lntin language haa two words to express

after all the qualifications of true greatness,
of which valor veracity and virtue were but
attributes of his nature. Tho other, Homo,

those who d>d not possess the quaMflcatlonsof
true manhood. And, alas! this Homa\
pluralised to hominet, has crept into and
contaminated every organization of Church
and Sta'e, fnm the golden days of Roman
greatness to the present time.
And I beg of you. yc honest tillers of the
soil, who would "give honest bread to the
honest eater, and seed to the sower," to
app'y the test to overy one who seeks to be a
brother, and ree whether he be Homo or

Bepiy Ho.9 <S Friend "Jee"
Ms. ?ditor s It L| some what reluetantlvlllOBsM
reply the geond time to Friend "Joe." I
ope thai 1 shall not "try your | etienoe too
tuch by being little leDgthy, since I oar*
ot abbreviate in fewer words a reply to so
eighty en argument as adduoed by my
rirnd. Let" us note a few things conseou*
ivrly in his Inst letter.
1. My friend has objeoted to my preach*
ig what 1 conceive to be the truth, simply
oo*i>so it does no< accord with his underlanding
of the matter. I have a very poor
pinion of any minister who hasn't enough
loral s rengtit to preaoh against error as -Jf)
rell as advoeate the truth. When I seo an
rror I shell always endeavor to point It out
nd attempt to aet the parties right. If
hey do not chooso to be righted, then I have
one my duty end have a clear. een?flienjgftr^.
may not always ba right njyself;-but I
trive to be; and hence, whenever I am in
rror it is a fault of the mind and trot of
he heart, and I am always grateful to any
no to set me right. *
2. A fsw ?ror?Sa &iot? about Paul's bapism.
In my lest letter I (bought I gavo
ufficient proof to remove oil doubt as to
iow Paul wns baptised; but it eeeros that
i a i:i i^ i i.._ *
ij IIICU'I BUUitt line iv use i:m? ITOOJ
bout it. I sin sorry that in "bin seal" tq
efuio my argument bo failed to give ail iJi*
acts in the case. Ho soeai? to doubt tli?
mportnnce "f the word anaelae, found la
he oiigina', (Acts 22: 10),'which implies
tot only to 'a-ise," but m lion after rising,
.nd thinking perhaps that Acts 0 : 18 would
lirow weight on his side, he quoted: "And
mmeiliately there fo 1 from his eyes as U
tail becu scales : end U? received sght
' rthwith, an 1 aroet and was baptised."
If my friend will get his Qrcok Testanent
and examine this text, he will fiad the
rery saint woVd here that we discussed in
ho other text, meaning motion from or . ??
taping a place etc. 1 do not see anything
n this translation "at variance With the
vritteu word." In order to remove ell
loubts, let us quote a few passages of Paul*!
vriting: "Thorofgrc, we nro buried with
rlim (Christ) by baptism in'o death, that
iko as Christ wss raised up from the dead
>r the glory of tho Father , aveu ro we also
ihould walk in nearness of life," ete., Rom:
1:4: "Else what sha'l they do, which are
>aptized for the dead; if the deal rise not
it all why are they then baptized for the
lead t" I Cor. "10 : 29; "For as many of
pou as h%ve beeq baptised into Christ h%ve
>Ut on Chfisi," Uol 3 ; 27 ; "Buried with
iiirn in baptism, wherein also ye are risen
with Illm through the faith of the operation
>f Qod. who hath ra:sed Him from Ilia
lead." Col. 2:12: "On* faith, on* Lord,
>ne baptism " Eph. 4 : 5. Dots this not in
(self explain how Paul was baptised, and
shat he regarded as baptism f If it does
lot meau that he was immersed and that h*
preached immersion a* baptism, please en-; *
plain to me these passage*.
The othor passages quoted by my friend
lu not need any oommeat, since with unratnmeled
thinking the meaning is obvious,
tnd I haye net speoe to note eaoh passage
loparato'jr,
8. I agree with my friend that wo should
et the bible explain itself; but in order to .
mderstaqd the true translation of the bible
*o must not be satisfied with the King
Fame's version alone, but go to the original
3reek Testament and with the help of lexi5ons
get tho true meaning of the text.
4. In reference to infant baptism to which
Friend "Joe" alluded in his last letter, I
lave but a few words to say at present.
[11 It is unscr.plural and 1 believe wrong.
[2) Baptism should be adm n siertd fp thqsq
>ulv who have exercised saving faith in
Sol. This I claim Infants can not do.
6. Friend "Joe" wants to knew if the
osptiam of water, the Holy Ghost and fire,
ipoken of in Ma't. 8 : 11, menus iinmeraim.
[ imphatioally answer yet. "I indeed bap
is* you with w>t?r unto repeutanoe; but
lie that cotnctli after m* is mightier then I,
whose shoes I am not worthy to haar^. Ha
shall baptise you with the Holy OhMdMUiil^fli
with fire."
You must benr in mind that ou? King *
James' version or tne bible is the Bmsoo-1 f
paliun translation. Get" your Grchk TeeUi..
tnent end let us examine the original au<l
see if it is in or with water, eto., that should
be used, The original say*; 'l ind<?d
biptige you in water {en hudati) uuto repent*
tnoe. He shall baptise yeu m the Holy
Ghost (en puenmati) and in fire (en puri).
iu this rame chapter, Gth verse, we htve
the very same preposition translated in tho
King James' version, "in JordanWhy
not say baptised "with Jordan."
To be baptised of the Holy Ghost then
means tha' the souls of believers must be
immersed in the Holy Ghost; so that it
would entirely penetrate their being and
rorni within them a prinoiple of life. Head
Acts 1:6. 5 N
' 6." Friend ' Joe" cills the 0 lobrated
Pedebaptists scholars who do not agree with
hint ** to the meaning of "baptao," schismatiq.il
tutmorsionists." 1 did qqt If now
that Churles Anthon. George Caruppll,
Thomas Chalmers, Moses Stewart, Martin
Luther, John Calvin, Adam Clarke, John
Wesley, the founder of his own oh it rob,
wero schismatic* I That is news to me I
7- He closes by saying* ''The primitive
mode of baptism is not necessarily the bible
mode." In that assertion he virtually
ftdmits that the primitive mode was by
immersion. Now, 1st me ask my friend a
question. If primitive baptism is not bible
baptism, what is bible baptism?
In matters of law wo must use words in
their primary or historical sense. No
ircndsry or figurative sense can be applied
is long as the historieal tense can bs app'ied.
This is a fundamental ru'e to be
seed iu the interpretation of all vfritiua*,
both eacred and profane. Unless wdrds ard
used in (hep: primary sense they will fail of
their design. This being troe, immcr.iiqa
is inevitably the aot of Christian baptism ;
for beyond doubt the word I'Lapi^o" in thq
historical sense ine.ns to '-dip" and the
like. Therefore, sinoo there is but one
bei tism, all other forms of baptism are uaicriptural.
Now in coueiuvinn lei me ask a few questions,
and if my friend answers them satieraet
>rily end e"lri?vis in iri that fee is C 7rect
and inr <tber th>nlimmersion is the
mt.ie or pi.iiqiiifq mc>4? baptism, qs U*^|
