% % V I I ■■ Col. Keitt on Col Ellison S. Keitt, of New publishes a long communication in The Observer of that place, over his own signature, in which hedenounces Messers J. L. M. Irby and J. W. Btokes, and exposes the paits he charges they played in the late Sena torial election. He commences by dwelling upon the great lack of knowledge among Alliance men as to —tilobligations and th^Work being done, ^rwd^uotes thea(^reement made at the StTLfm^reSil^ention in De cember, 1889, iu whicbSilJp members pledged themselves to stl^port for of fice only men who will support Alii- , ^ „ ance measures, uninfluenced by party absence of an caucus. He then says: ^-f-ibss we are driven “Is it not clear from lUfr"Si6ove agreement that any member of Con gress who is a member of the Alli ance, commits perjury if he goes into a caucus of either of the great parties? If he is in any degree Influenced by party caucus be is perjured. . “On the heels of Mr Irby’s election to the position of United States Sena tor he was interviewed by the corre spondent of the News and Courier, and is reported as making the follow ing statement: “I am going to the Senate as a Democrat and in fall accord with the National Dem ocracy. I am in full sympathy with the Alliance, but whatever may be obtained by me for the Alliance must be obtained through the National Democratic Party.” “How does this statement of Mr Irby’s, who is the Alliance lecturer of Laurens County, compare with his obligations as a member of the Alli ance? Is he ignorant of bis obliga tions. or is his conscience so seared that he is insensible of his sworn duty?” It is curious how the great “Refor mer’s” charges of perjury are being brought home to roost by his own fac tion. Col Keitt then goes on to say: "To permit a scurvy fellow, leprous with crime and without an element of statesmanship, to worm himself by political trickery into high position, is not only an impediment to the work, but a crime against the Order. A majority of the members of the General Assembly are Alliance men, and they could have elected a clean and able man to represent our Order in the Senate and push our measures to success. All was lost by the treason of one man, Senator Stokes, Presi dent of the State Alliance. How and why? On Friday morning, Decem ber 5th, 1890, the following appeared in the Charleston World, the organ of Tillman and Irby: “What I have seen and heard today con- flrms me in my previously expressed opin ion that State Senator J. W. Stokes, who is also President of the State Farmer’s Alli ance, Will cut no figure in the fight for the United States Senatorship next Tuesday; but that on the contrary he is being care fully gr«omed for the Governorship in 1894. when Tillman is more than likely, as I have already pointed out in these columns, to succeed the Hon M. C. Butler in the United States Senate.” “The Tillmanite who inspired this knew his man. Stokes snapped up .vi the next day, Saturday, there was a caucus of about forty Alliance men, which was presided over by Senator . Stokes, President of the State Alli ance. A ballot was taken, with Don aldson In the lead; next Irby: then Keitt. Stokes, as predicted in the Charleston World, cut no figure in the fight. He got only four votes. He was out of the race in an Alliance caucus. It was then agreed to hold an Alli ance caucus on Monday night, when all the Alliance members of the Gen eral Assembly would be present and select an Alliance candidate. A com mittee was appointed to wait on Don aldson, Irby and Keitt, and get them to state in writing their position on the principles and demands of the Alliance, to be read befor the caucus. President Stokes said to the writer that his position was well known, but the position of Donaldson and Irby was not; hence the request that they be put in writing. I put mine in wrl- tingand banded it in. Senator Stokes, President of the State Alliance and presiding oflicer of the caucus of Al liance men on Saturday night, in stead of chuvening the Alliance cau cus on Monday night, as «greed, led ofT into a caucus of non-Alliance men —Tillmanites; from which caucus Alliance men who did not support Tillman were excluded, and into which many who supported Tillman would not go. "Stokes sold out the Alliance for the shadow of being Governor four years hence. That is the logical con clusion. The result was the Alliance had no candidate. Alliance men were free to vote for whom they pleased. Some rightly exercised it. ••Senator Stokes, from his position as President of the State Alliance, and his failure to convene the caucus of Alliance men on Monday night, which was agreed on, and his leading off into a caucus of non-Alliance men, is responsible for the failure on the part of Alliance men to send a representative man to the United States Senate, who would do honor to the State and our noble Order. “The injury resulting to the Order from the treason of this one man can not be estimated. True and brave men cannot fight under a flag borne by c traitor.” On the whole this letter ot Colonel Keitt’s is a very spicy addition to the literature of the late State campaign ; but it is intensely mortifying that there should be a Senator from South Carolina whom any man would dare to allude to as “a scurvy iellow, lep rous with crime.” Truly this is a “record breaking year ” Mr. Stokes’ Reply to Col. Keitt. The News and Courier of the 6th contains a long reply from President Stokes, of the State Farmers’ Alli ance, to the communication of Col Ellison 8. Keitt, reflecting on him and Mr Irby. Mr Stokes denies the charge in toto that he betrayed the Alliance, and demands the proof. He says: “Col Keitt holds that an Alliance man, who is a member of Congress, commits perjuiy ‘if be is in any de gree iiifluenced by party caucus.’ In justification of bis charge he quotes an agreement signed by committees of the National Alliance and of tbe Knights of Labor, which agreement, fie intimates, every Alliance is sworn cal views.” TUW question _ been adjudicated, and in case of cou- j“ c * °‘ opinion, especially among brethren anfl equals, a commendable modesty wquld suggest the sunpres- 8, on °J intemperate charges. * * ‘Col Kent says, 'all was lost by the treason of/one man, Senator Stokes.’ It would We interesting to know what the all was that Col Keitt says was lost. Wq; presume he wrote from the standpoint of an Alliance man, and how the' Alliance could lose anything in the ejection of Col Irby, an hon ored ajjd trusted officer of the Order, pledged to its demands and a tireless worker for its cause, as United States Senator, passes my comprehension. In itemized account of to inference or else the method of exclusion. It could not be the loss of Hampton he de plored, because Hampton was a cau cus man as a matter of course. It could not be Donaldson whose loss he deplores, lor his (Donaldson’s) politi cal views did not admit of freedom from caucus influence.” He further says in reference to Col Keitt’s assertion that Mr Stokes is be for Governor ing carefully groomed in 1894: “He says the World published that shadow; afterwaids I led off into a general Reform caucus, therefore the shadow was the cause of my leading of£—post hoc propter hoc. This is ‘logical conclusion’ with a vengeance. It is the logic of sublimated puerility. No rational mind will accept this as proof. “He says there was a trade. This necessitates a purchaser as well as a seller. Let him name the other party to the trade, or else stand before the public to which he has appealed, rather than to the Order he is sworn to obey, as having spoken against a brother without a cause. “He should know I was not in the city when the World report was writ ten, and had not been for a wetk. Let him call up the man to whom or from whom came any proposition concern ing mpself and the Governorship. Let him call witnesses within or with out the State. He lias the World be fore him,” The Trial Justices. The News and Courier says: The following oppiuion of the Attor ney-General addressed to Governor Tillman was filed in his office on Wednesday. “I have examined the late trial jus tice Act, and in my opinion the terms of all trial justices in the State expired on the approval of the said Act, and that a reappointment of those whose terms would not have expired accord ing to their original appointment un til lifter the approval of said Act is necessary to continue them in office. From this it would appear that all the old commissions of the Trial Jus tices were cancelled by the reeact of the Legislature, and in ra^wce to the matter the governo^^B^that tho^ desirkig posiLbxn. tices under the terms of the should make applications by recom mendation from their delegations by petition. The Indian Troubles, 'Act or A telegram from Pine Ridge Agen cy, South Dakota, under date of Jan uary 6th,says: The seriousness of the situation here is increasing. Short Bull the leading hostile chief, who has distin guished himself all along during this trouble by never for a moment con sidering any of the overtures looking to an amicable settlement, but who has stuck to his lair in Bad Lands, and has now assumed command of the great body of hostiles, last night told our spies that he would take this agency if it cost every warrior he had. Half breeds have been informed by friends and relatives, whom some of them have among the hostiles that they had better immediately move their families a long distance from the agency, as a great raid and massa cre was certain. The half breeds are showing us what they think of this information by getting their families out of here with a rush. Government Herder John Dwyer and Issue Clerk Pugh have discover ed, through their Indian friends of years’ standing, that a raid and mas sacre has been fully decided upon and maturely planned. Gen. Miles is thoroughly conversant with ail the facts, and himself says that our situa tion is exceedingly critical. There are less than 600 soldiers here now, all told. Closing ot the Agricultural Depart ment of the State. The Board of Trustees of the Clem- son College has elected Mr Luther Smith of Anderson County to take charge of the clerk’s business of the Agricultural Department in Columbia until the work is finished. The De partment has been placed in charge of a committee consisting of Gover nor Tillman, Secretary Tindall and Trustee Waunamaker, and the build ing has been turned over to the sink ing fund commission with instruc tions to sell as soon as possible. The following State guano samplers in various sections of the State have reen appointed: Mr Crosland for the northern section. Mr Shanklin of Pendleton, and Mr Hardwin of Ches ter. The Board found the appropriation not enough to complete the work on the college in the time desired, but the work will be carried on as long as the money lasts] Tke experimental station near Co lumbia has been transferred by Dr McBryde to Secretary Sloan of the Board. Superintendent of Education May- field will prepare a circular early next week iu which all school book buyers will be interested. He is under the impression that the price of school books may be reduced 33 per cent, by the adoption of the same text books iu say four or five States. The circu lar will be addressed to the Superin tendent of Education and Governors of neighboring States, inviting these corporations to adopt a uniform sys tem both as to books and methods. If any existing publishing company cannot be induced to take a contract at rates which will make books much cheaper than at present, it will be proposed that the diflereut State au thorities form a company to publish tbe boofcs wanted. e Foflfer cartridges ing a license from which such person or is doing business so to do. county commissioners are here- authorized to issue licenses in their respective counties for the sale of pis tol cartridges upon the payment of the sum of $200 annually. Any person violating this act shall be deemed guilty of a misdemeanor and on conviction shall be punished by a fine not exceeding $500 or be im prisoned not exceeding one year, or both. Dueling Reports, The Augusta correspondent of the News and Courier says: “Rumors of an expected duel be tween N. G. Gonzales, former corre spondent of the News and Courier, and James Tillman, son of Congress man George D. Tillman, to be fought at Sand Bar Ferry, on the Georgia side of the river, are afloat here. Mr Tillman is here in Augusta, but Mr Gonzales has not been seen here. Jt is said that the trouble between these gentlemen is caused by Mr Tillman learning that Mr Gonzales would blackball him if his name was pre sented for membership of the South Carolina Club at a meeting held du ring the late State Fair. Railway Commissioner. The report is in that the Rev. J. A. Sligh will be appointed by Governor Tillman to succeed ex-Governor Bon ham as railroad commissioner. Mr. Sligh is not from the territorial divis ion from which Gen. Bonham was se lected, but it is argued that the Act of 1888 repeals the Act of 1882, which provided for territorial limitations. It is also believed that the appoint ment of the Rev. Mr. Sligh would have been made several days ago. but for the fact of the agitation of the question as to whether there should be an extra session of the Legislature. Railroad Taxes. The much vexed question of the South Carolina Railway Company’s State taxes lias at last been settled. In the United States Circuit Court on Tuesday an order was passed by Judge Simonton providing for the payment of unpaid taxes of the South Carolina Railway for the fiscal year beginning November 1, 1888, in accordance with the terms of the joint resolution on the subject passed by the recent Gen eral Assembly of. the State. The amount due with interest, etc., is $44,236.43. Negro emigration to the West. The Augusta Chronicle says. Hardly a week passes in which from twenty to five hundred negroes from South Carolina and North Carolina do not pass through Augusta on their way to South Georgia, Alabama or Arkansas. Tuesday night twenty-five came down on the Knoxville train on their way to Alabama. The Colum bia train brought in nearly fifty, bound for Southwest Georgia, win? were going to work iu the turpenU ‘ less. T str load swxnbering over fi]^ came in on tbe South Carol/na traTTT from Barnwell. They are bound for Arkansas, Murdered With a Stick. On Saturday Dec. 27, Cliester Thom son and Archie Williams, negroes in Beech Island, got to quarreling about some money matters, which led to an altercation. In the fight Chester struck Archie a powerful blow on the head wtth a heavy hickory stick. Archie was stunned by the blow and never recovered consciousness, his skull having been broken. He died the following day. A post mortem examination was made, aud the doctor said Archie’s death was produced by the blow. Chester was arrested and brought to Aiken, where he was safely confined in jail. The Alliance Bank. Reports received from the county trustees of the Alliance indicate that everything will be iu readiness for the organization of the Alliance Bank in Columbia on tbe 28th inst. It is pret ty generally understood that M. L. Donaldson and the Rev. J. A. Sligh will be among the directors. There also appears to be no donbt that all of the capital stock, $100,000 will be ob tained, the greater part of it being subscribed by Alliance men.

We’ll tell you the reason why our concern is popular at home, aud all over the State, is because we sell and absolutely control such merchandise as is impos-ible to obtain from other dealers in our line of trade. Iu this year, 1890, there is no busi ness done for love, except, tbe love of the Great Ameriean dollar, so we have never based our calls for pa tronage on any other grounds than the solid fact, that the people want the goods that “Stand at the head,” and just such goods we keep. We could sell the privilege of control on the following lines for large sums of money. Here they are. In clothing, we control apsolutely. Schiloss Bros., & Co’s., London and Paris brand.
