prer " SgflT/ " jw. '* v" PRESIDENT AND PEOPLE I)oM the President or the Senate minority repres?nl the sentiment of the Democracy on the question of repealing unconditionally theSheiiuan m vrr 'aw T That is a point t> be settled, not by os-umplioos, tut hy facts. Let ua see what are the facts. In the first place every member of the President's cabinet, including lifelong friends of silver, like Mr. Carlisle and Mr. Herbert, has endorsed hs position. There has not been even a hint of disagreement among these, bis chosen advisers, oa this question. There are men in the cabinet who have made sacreficrs to serve the people thero, and salary and office arc not such cous'dorations with tbeui ns to make them yield their convictions upon so vital a subject. Next we have Congress. Tbo Democrats in the House voted overwhelmingly for unconditional repeal. They were elected at the same time as President Cleveland, are frdeh from the people and should certainly know better loan a handful of Senators tho wishes of the National Democracy. It is stated, and not deniod, that of the Democratic 8cnators a majority of two or more are in favor of unconditional repeal. Thus both the executive and legislative department of the government nre in accord on this question. Tho obstructing power is not the Senate, but a minority of Senators, led by Populists. Next consider the Democratic press of the country. It is overwhelmingly for repeal. There ure some exceptions in the South and West, but they constitute a small minority. Kow, as to the Democrats of Ute United ventions have been held iu a number of States since the issue of repeal became urgent, and not one of them declared against the policy of the President. In sev eral of them?Virginia f r ono?efforts to pass free silver resolutions were made, and failed, and the conventions reaffirmed the declinations of the Chicago convention Iowa. Pennsylvania. Ohio, Massachusetts, Maryland and New York Democrats, in their State councils, unnnimous'y endorsed the President's course and ^demanded the immediate repeal if the Sherman law. But tho most significant declaration conies from Nebraska, a Sta'o which was nearly cairicd by tho l'opul.sts lust year, and where tho froo . 1 v very strong. It is the Mate of Secretary Morton and Congressman 13ryan. The former has been straightout in his opposition to Populist theories ; the latter is a brillinnt young rilverito. At tlie Democratic Plate convention, held several days ago, the silver quest on was the main issue anil Mr. Bryan led his forces in perssn and asked an endorsement of his course iti fighting repeal in tho House. Tne verdict of the convention was unmistakable. It defeated Mr. Bryan's candidate lor chairman by a vote of three to one, refused Mr. Bryan a piaco on the committee on resolutions by a voto of 875 to 128, and adopted by a four-fiftlisvotc the following financial plank : "IVe, the representatives of the Democratic party in Nebraska, in State convention assembled, send party gree'ings to our President. Grover Cleveland, and renew the exprc?s;on of our confidence and pride in his patriotism, courage and wisdom, lie heartily endorse the administration of President Cleve and. We reaffirm the truths so forcibly set forth by tho President in his message to the special session of Congress. We favor his recommendation to Congress therein made for the repeal of the silver purchasing clause of tho Sherman act, and we call upon ilie United S'atcs Senators to BDeedilv DOSS the nendinir l>ill ftir Mm nrnnmt ?, _ r.v..?inw OI lilt' excellence of which may be had ut the daily Orej parade, which begins precisely nt 10 a in.

THE GREATEST WILD WEST IN THE WORLD. THRILLING SCENES AT OLn TRITER TOM S CARIN AND THE MOUNTAIN MEADOW MASSACRE. When the Indians creeps up cnJ set fire to poor old Trapper Tom's cabin, in Pawnee Dill's Historic Wild West, the hearts of the multitude of spectators s'and sti'l, for the Hie realism of the whole affair is so startling and vivid that it is hard to believe ibat it is only a more representation of wliat has 1 taken place in the far West in the days gone i by. Then, too, the rapid return of the messenger with succor, in the person of Pawnee Dill at the head of the daring t American Cowboys, sends a wild sense of relief through the bosoms of the vast audience mi l tills with satisfaction the souls of ? those who suppose ! poor Tom was dead and gone, and that they would never sec him ' gain. This, and the weird scenes of b'oodshecd at the Mountain Meadow Massacre, contain ^ many incidents which are far mere descriptively eloquent than the blood curdling romances one reads in the weekly story S papors, because the exhibitions given by Pawnee Hill's /?i. - viiivid, nmve, cowboys, y vaqueros, and others, are far superior to tlio imperfect imaginings of the writers of said r 'insnces. Pawnee Bill's battles and onslaughts are C< so nearly real that it is hard to believe them mere reproductions. The riding of the cowboys, the desperate rushes of the indians on ca their ponies, the bold assults by vnqucros, nc and the extraordinarily skillful, and one gr might say genuine, use of the lasso on Hying si horsemen, all tend to color the events with a realism that is absolute.

We wish lo call the special attention of our readers this week to our auver:ising column*, which they sec that notwithstanding the hard times and the scarcity of money, our mercbanU huve laid in full tocks of goods to meet the demand of all classes of their patrons who must be clothed and fed. Economy is essential this year, owing to the short crop and low price of ootton, and we advise praolic&i economy in the purchase of the necessities of life, which by the order of tilings, must como through the mercantile channel whether wholesale or retail, it makes no difference. But we have often thought of the great inju?iice done the retail dea'.ers by consumers sendiDg off and ordering goods direct from merchants in other towns, when they can get the panic article as cheap here. It is certainly unfair, for in several in-, stances we have known it to be a fact, that the mouey thus sent off, carao directly or indirectly from a retail dealer, who had the very same goods on his shelves and could havo furnished them as cheap, and after the cost uf carriage was paid, the consumer saved little or nothing, and sent money out of the town (hat might have been circulated at hour. J -Bottling tylild Up A town more than home people sticking home people. We will be candid in saying, that we believe that the practice of showing a preference for other p'nees even among our own people has had more to do with retarding the progressing of Union, than anythiug else. If the money that has been sent off in the past, laud invested in enterprises, to boom other places had been kept at home, Union would today have been in a more prosperous condition, and the people would have enjoyed soring the town prospering, instead of knocking around their safes worthless certificates of stock in some dead towns with a inuslirrom boom. Wc think our prospects are as fine now as any town in the State, and all it needs is push and pulling together : and one way to accomplish this is by every citizen who has any interest in the town, to spend what ho has to spent right here with our own mcichn'ds and mechanics. We often hear of our citizens going to Spartanburg, Chester, Laurens and Newberry to make purchases, hut do you ever hear of any one from either of those p'aces coming here to spend their money for anything ? ? - . Let Candidates Bead. Wc recommend that nil poisons who expect to t c candidates in tho coming campaign, read the following declaration from Nebraska convention : "We denounce the* seditious and inflammatory language used by public speakers of recent days and a'l of their efforts to stir up strife and disscntions, aud create jealousy and distrust in the different parts of our common country, as un-American, unpatriotic, and fraught with danger to our institutions. The Democracy of Nebraska declares that it recognizes in commercial^and whomsoever disseminated, are false and pernicious. While we favor liberal pensions to the deserving veterans, wo a'so commend the worthy cflorts of Commissioner Lochran in his endeavor to purge the list of those not entitled to pension, and to make it what it should be?a roll of honor."

Kit a Jams, Oct. 9.?Last week was a good time for farm work, and our farmers generally mado good use of it. Several farmers have gone over their cotton crops tho first time iu picking. It will be short when all gathered. More bay has been taken care of this year than usual. The corn gathering season will soon be on hand, and the old fashioned shuckings, wrestlings and dry fights will be in order. The ground is iu splendid fix for sowing wheat, and we hope our people will soon got at it. Several public gins are now In operation. The price for ginning ranges from 25 to 35 cents per hundred pounds of lint cotton. The health of our community at present is good. By some means the Times has not been coming regularly. Woek before lost the papers were a day behind lime in reaching this office, and Wilkinsville has not got tho last week's papers yet. When the Times fail to reach one of our up country offices the evidence of its appreciation crops out in tne (llSOppoluiunui wfii* pitroaa.* Rev. Mr. Robinson proaclied at Salem yesterday.

Mr. Wallace is a prominei young man, ongaged in mercantile pursuit and has had some literary oxpericneo as reporter at one time was the owner of Wa lace's Weekly. He is a son of Mr. Chas. J H'ulUoo, tb* ooll*o<or of custom* in this cit, Mr. Joseph Bryan, proprietor of the Time is not only cne of the leading churchmen i Virginia, but he is also one of the wealthie and most prominent citizens. He is tl ^ tw i rcaiucui. ui uic v>CUrgu? 1"?C1UC lUUiroaU ftt president of the Richmond Locomotive Work The origin of the' trouble grows out of son 8'rictures mode upon the prcsj of this cil some three weeks ago by Mr. Wallace befoi the Democratic city committee, of which 1 is the secretary. The Times, it appear commented somewhat sharply upon tl language of Mr. Wallace, the result of whit was that the matter was referred to ,'ud) Goorge L. Christian for arbitration. He r ported in substance that the Times was n called upon to apologize. Mr. Wallace not being satisfied, sent tl following letter to Mr. Bryan : Richmond, Va., October, 4, 1893. To Mr. Joseph Bryan, Editor of the Time Richmond, Va.,?Sir: I have your letter this date through the hands of my friem Capt Cunningham Hall, who for rcasoi most honor-ible to himself, and satisfactoi to me, now withdraws from the correspot dence, and this note will be handed you b rr,? I" T** At- Uf?ltdA? T II.A^-1,, Christian, which of course I cannot conside and herewith re uru to you. As you rcfui to retract the objectionable reference to m which appeared in the Times of the 27th, have now only to ask that you will accor me the redress which obtains among gentle men. Believing that you will do this, I nsl that you will do tr.e the favor to suggest t my brother that the name of sorao one o your friends, who will confer with him am arrange for a meeting. I have the honor t< be your obedient servant, Jefferson Wallace. To the above Mr. Bryan sent this reply Richmond, Va, Oct. 7. To Jefferson Wallace, Esq., Richmond, Va Sir: I have just received your note of tlit 4th, instant by the hands of your brothet Mr. C. M. Wallace. Jr., nnd find in it a request that 1 "will accord you tlio redress which obtains among gentlemen," and In expressing the belief that I will do so you ask me to "suggest to my (yourl brother mo name or some 0110 of (my) your friends who will coufer with him and arrange for a meeting." This being a challenge to fight a duel I ha*e no hesitation in decling to accept it for the following reasons : First, I profess and try to be a Christian, ind the idea to such an one of settling a lontrovcrsy by a duel is utterly abhorrent. Second. 1 am a law-abiding citizen and in very way, personally and as the head of he Times, iuculca'e obedience to the law of he land, which you know condemns as triminal the course you invite me to pursue. Third. The method you suggest for obtainng redress from me is in itself absurd and tarbarous and no longer "obtains" among ;entlemen, and never should have done so. Fourth. You have not the least cause of ust complaint a(,ninst me. Y'our pretended suae of compla nt growing out of some tatement to a report of the proceedings of bo city Democratic commifee by a reporter f the Times, which appeared in the local olumnsofthat paper, was, wiih npprobaon and aid of your friend, Capt. Cunningam Hall, fully examined by Judge George i.

It is gratifying to observe a growing tend dcncy among our educators to advise and * ouoourage the study of English and Aroerij. can literature in the common schools. Hered tofore, while many have recognized its intporlnnco, and have taken great pains to oullivate a taste for good reading, yet it has unfortunately been regardod by somo rigidly r. practical teachers as a comparatively usee l'ss stndy, consuming valuable time which might bo employed to belter purposo. It is ai ea?y and natural for children of well ia for mo I parents to drift into tho correct 16 channels in Ihis respect. Tbey are taught y from* the?time they eati rend intelligently to i8 cultivate a fondurss for such books as Scott's 'Tales of a Grandfather," "Waverly novels," ^ etc.. while later on their educational ad1 vantages and the companionship and oxamie pie of well real and intellectual peoplo, rcud, der tlieni capable of appreciating Dickons, a Thackeray, Bulwor. and the treasures of the inimitable Bard of Avon. As before s'atcd, however, it is not with these that the diflic. culty lies. It is in reaching that class who obta<n their literary information simply ond so'cly from tho school which they attend, and who are otherwise almost entirely de? m pendent upon (heir own judgment and gui?e dance in the matter of literary food. It is ei easy to sec that the few miscellaneous bosks P8 t which sometimes constitute the4home library 8, (ofien sclected^on account of their g?y and a g-lded binding, without reference to conj* tents,)for wi'h some, as Byron aptly observei, y "A book's a book, although there's nothing ?, in it") arc not calculated to assist iu cstabtn lishing a taste for healthful and instructive reading. It hns been said that newspapers 1(j are great educit>rs. So they are, but there >. ore "newspapers and newspapers," or in other words some are good and some are bad ^ and inexperienced young people are not ,e always cap.ib'e of discriminating. Indeed, s, we cannot be too careful regarding the ic books to which children have access. IniagiJ'1 nntive young pcop'e arc geneca'ly fond of thrilling stories of adventure, and, without ot proper guidance, are in danger of acquiring the habit of reading trash. It is painful to 10 see a young person roaming at random among the literature with which the country is s Hooded, knowing no appreciable difference 0f between authors, except that some write L1 tbriUiugly while others seem dull and d<s posed to moralixe. If dispose! to be fond 0f books, n taste cithor for the good or 3 tra-hy ones will 910a be framed. How is a" this to be avoided? In what manner can a y lRS,e for good literature be iqs til led jnto to answer. Of course there Nis moie than one ,e way in wliich it can be taught; but what is ie the best way ? It is apparent that the mere f study of a text book on English and Amerij can literature, even when accompanied by occasional suggestions as to a course of read|. ing, cannot accomplish all that could be de0 sired in this respect. It is necessary in f some instances to overcome home influence, j or rather the absence of home influences in j this regard. The child should be so carefully, taught and guarded as to be capable?even when very young?of apprecia'ing to some extent the vast difference between good and trashy books. 1 think that every school should have a good library from which each , pupil, at proper times, under the advice and . guidance of the teacher, could select books i to bo carried home and read during leisure t hours. Skxton. t THE STUDY OF ENGLISH. fi Few subjects aro so profitable a school j exercise as the study of English, because it ^ involves nil the other studies, and best of nil, it develops menial power. English should be studied in speech, in writing, and in literature. Any good book is literature in n sense ; the wiiting to be studied is what tl the pupil do themselves, their own writing; ^ the speech to be studied is what the pupil y says, and every pupil should be induced to talk a great deal and to talk well. This study cannot be relegated to any one grade of echool; it must be made prominent in every grade if the pupilB are to acquire a command of the language. Hence every P teacher should be especially interested in this study, whatever nii?n?tnr. i ? - um; uu given to others. No one can can be a good teacher ? in this branch of study who is not a constant student of it; and the student, both teacher and pupil, must nut only road much good ! litera*ure, but he must study it critically, and for the best results he must acquire the Inhabit of writing. A teacher of English must ftn' be a writer of English also, for practice U Plr what gives proficiency. In order to teach cs*ay writing, ouc must know how essays are written, uuil he cannot know this thor- 0?' oughly till he has written them, in some ? simple form at least, himself. If the teacher is careless about bis own language, be will not be likely to improve 1 that of ills' pupils. Few people speak JL the English language in its purity, and not one all teachers ore able to make the |nice dis- hou tinctious between elegant simplicity and and coarseness ; iu avoiding the commonplace T we are likely io become pedantic. N > ono neai should pretend to be an infallible example gin lo his pupils, though he ought to be far G uiperior to them. The spirit of the true fnct eaoher in this branch of study more than in O ?ny ether, is that of a learner; and if the eoclier makes a mistake or is in error, as ho s sure to be, only less frequetnly than the >upil, he could encourage his pupils to cored htm, and be glad of tlie corrections, ince he himself is thus improving, and ince the criticism which the mmll he test evidence of good teaching; and licre is no danger that iho teacher's superirity will not be recognized if ho is really uperior. 1)1 As the care of the teacher about ltis own inguage will show itself in the language of "ie ( te pupils just as his manner, his spirit, and n,,ce le tono of his voice will be reflected in the Pn8<" rildreti, so his real interest in literature, in crJ> < I good writing will be communicated to Oourl ism. If he finds nothing of interest to 0., di >ad except the sensational journals of the 'Ktat< y, they will n..t through his iufliietice be All (I terested in better rending; if he finds dred >thing to awaken enthusiasm in the books ? reads, they will not be enthusiastic Oio ?out what they read; if ho can read a good """d try without noticing the beauties of its Hnm< rle, or the art with which the author has Tcr pressed his thought upon the reader, or for pi e propriety and the elegance of the lar.age, they arc not likely tonntico or to be Oct oiited by any of these things. Oct "^1^3 Hi's Hot a "Pop.1'?Governor Tillman has |on? to the St. Louis bi-roetallio, or, as aBB it is more generally termed, Populist oonventioo. II e left yesterday end will arrive in 8*1 Loots this stoning. The Governor JBB will be, from present indieations, about the 3^1 only man to represent South Carolina in that C*9H convention, who is of tbo same way of think- . j ing with tho>e who issued the oonvention, lie appointed twenty delegates, but they did not go. Whether it was beoauae thsy could not or would not, remains to be One man alone accompanied the Govern^Hj^^^^H to the convention, but he ia of the eppooiii^^^^^^f way of thinking from Governor The Governor appointed Dr. W. T. the Sia'e Treasurer, a delegn'e and Dr. Dates before consenting to go, oalledon^^^^^^H the Governor at bis office and frankly told tho chief executive that ho was not follow* ing in bis footsteps on the finanoiai situation. Dr. Mutes was seen before be left tha city and asked about the matter and he said: a "In case I attend the St. Louis convention' : 29 I expect to do what 1 can to advanoe tbe A business interests of tbe South. tnrough a 'B^B commercial union with the West. 1 do not ? oxpect to take auy active part in the pollti cal features of the convention." J Then Dr. Dates went on to talk about the j* ^B financial question, and romarked: "I an *' B in favor of the immedia<e repeal of the pur- B chasing clause of the Sherman law. I be* lieve in this emergency that such . a course 1 would do the greatest amount of good to the greatest number, and on that- acoount I favor speedy action, and then the finaocial 1 question in its entirety can come up on ita merit!." "I believe that it is incumbent on the j Democratic party to carry out its policy as J expressed in the Chicago platform .and if it ^__j| does not there will bo a reckoning." * , I "Tbe free coinage of eilver will not give the rolief that its friends expect, nor do the 1 barm that its cuemics prediot. Tbe silver question i! only one faotor in the financial , 1 problem. I am in favor of ti-metalisni, and * ycd 1 hope that the Detnooratio party will carry jfl out its pledges in regard to gold and silver." ^B As will be seen from tbe above Dr. Dates, although ho attends the oonventlon aa a delegate, only goes to look after the finanoial interosts of tho country as he sees it, aod B| when that feature of the convention ia aisposed of, he will retire and decline to follow the lead of Governor Tillman In the matter of the formation af the proposed new Populist parly. ^M^B A YottKG Oiri, Outuaoko.?Savannah, 9 Ga , Oot. 8.?The eigbteen-yoar-old mute daughter of Mrs. Jane Young, recently ^jB matron of Little Mianie Mission, one of the 91 leading charitable institutions of Savannah. jj was ravished in iter home, within forty feet of the county courthouse lastnigbt by March f Walker, a negro carpet layer who had been employed about the house during the day.
