Schemes to Help Cotton.
There seems to be no end of the
schemes to create an artificial scarcity
cotton, and the two latest are to form
Trusts to held one third of the crop
for twelve months; and to have all
the farmers in the South agree not to
Kin a bale of cotton until the 1st
October.
The first of these schemes—that
trust companies, with a capital of
$20,000 or $30,000 be formed in each
county in the entire cotton belt, and
receive as subscriptions to the capital
one-third of the cotton crop made
by each cotton raiser in the county,
and to hold this cotton for one year—
is as wild and impracticable as the
sub-treasury scheme, and that is say
ing a good deal. Estimating the crop
of 1891 at 7,500,000 bales, the proposi
tion Is to lock up 2,500,000 bales for a
year; but it is not stated what will be
done with this cotton at the expira
tion of that period. If it is then
thrown upon the market it will in
crease the supply by that amount and
press prices down again lower than
ever. Moreover, the knowledge that
the cotton is in existence will be
taken into consideration in the esti
mate of the general supply, and to
that degree prevent en advance in
prices. Again, it is folly for the farm;
ers to think seriously of building
warehouses to hold their cotton, when
there are hundreds of warehouses al
ready built all over the South for that
special purpose—warehouses where
in cotton stored can be used as col
lateral at any time to borrow money.
The other scheme—to put off the
ginning of all cotton until after the
1st of October—is in sympathy with
the late effort to have a stay-law pas
sed by the Georgia Legislature, Most
of the farmers owe money, much of
which is payable in October, and if
ginning is postponed until so late, the
receipts will not be sufficient to meet
the matured indebtedness. The idea
also is that by holding back the crop
of 1891 manufacturers will be forced to
consume the large quantity of very
common cotton, estimated at 800,000
bales, now supposed to be clogging
the market. We are satisfied that
this is a mistaken conclusion,
first place the surplus supp^
is about 725,000 bales, an
there is just about as
ton on hand us at th
year. Again, the
cotton mills is u
cotton, and th

Tbe Augusta Evening Herald says:
“It is strange that the Farmers’ Al
liance has so little to say about the
. tariff. It is directing Its whole influ
ence against other things by which
the farmers are very little affected,
and pays little attention to that which
causes the condition of affairs of
which Die farmers complain.”
When it is well known that Dr.
Macune, the head man of the Alli
ance and editor of its central organ,
is a pronounced Republican, and that
he injected the sub-treasury, laud-
loan follies into the Alliance for the
purpose of distracting the farmers’
attention from the iniquitous protec
tive tariff, we do not think it strange
that the farmers have been misled.
But they are gradually realizing the
true inwardness of the movement,
and are learning what really is the
matter.
The weekly bank statement of the
22d instant shows a decrease of $3,506,-
925 in the reserves held. The banks
now hold $14,110,150 In excess of the
requirements of 25 per cent, of their
capital. Recently the Atlanta Con
stitution published a sersational arti
cle to the effect that the New York
banks had combined against the Al
liances of the South aud West, and
were holding back the money that
was needed to move the crops; and
pointed to the large amount of nearly
$18,000,000 in excess then held as evi
dence of this design. We could not
at the time understand how the banks
could practically do such a thing un
der the operation of the ordinary
course of exchange; but the folly of
the supposition is now made apparent
by the rapid decrease of the surplus,
which shows that the money is being
distributed over the country.
Governor Tillman is nothing if not
original. On Wednesday he granted
a most remarkable pardon. It was to
a negro boy, Wm. Dawkins, a very
small but mean lad, who was con
victed of house-breaking and larceny.
He was, on account of his youth,
sentenced to three month* each in
two cases in the County jail. The
pardon reads that the boy is pardoned
in full upon condition that his mother
shall give him a good whipping at
the jail once a week for the next
mouth, in the presence of the sheriff.
The Savannah River Association
will hold its third annual convention
in Augusta on Thursday and Friday,
the 19th and 20th of November, and
the County of Aiken should have a
full representation in it. The object
of the convention is to consult as to
lie best means for the improvement
utilization of the Savannah Riv-
;ection against its overflows;
k ring low rates of transporta-
jght by river and rail from
the seaboard. We trust
iwill be well represented.
my’s.
it Den-
Regarding the Alliance itself he
said:
WHAT IS THE ALLIANCE TO-DAY?
A secret party, with grips and signs,
a political and not a social and busi
ness organization. Is that the way
that politics should be conducted by
free whites, the deceudants of Anglo
Saxons, who acknowledgd no master,
wiio wore their hats in the presence
of their King when they exacted
Magna Cbarta at Runuymede, who
defended their liberty at tbe mouth of
the cannon or at the point of the
sword? Our ancestors haye bad some
trying times to maintain their liberty,
but they maintained it in the broad
daylight; aud now, for the first time
in the history of the State, the North
western Republicans have organized
an Alliance and have introduced
among us their grips aud signs. To
day one-third of the white men in the
State are treading tender-footed the
Alliance halls, and peeping at doors
and windows to see what arch-enemj
is in sight to prevent them from as
serting their rights or asserting them
at the ballot box. And pray who are
you afraid of? Whom are you or
ganized against? L'hsre are about
fifty or sixty lawyers and merchants
in Edgefield. Are >ou afraid of them,
and they your own fellow-citizens?
Has it come to this, that South Caro
linians have so degenerated, because
they were conquered in war, that
they must organize against their fel
low citizens?
Altogether Mr. Tillman’s speech
was a most forcible one, and drove
the truths home without reserve.

A Battle on Top of Glassy Mountain
Sunday.
Greenville News,
The bloodiest tragedy of all in the
bloody history of the Glassy moun
tain part of this county was that en
acted on Sunday at Mountain Hill
Baptist church, a little building on
the summit of Glassy mountain,
twenty-five miles from this city,
where a few God-fearing people meet
once or twice a month to worship in
Christian simplicity, aud hear the
plain words of some mountain preach
er. More than once before those who
fear God and try to worship Him in
their simple way by services at the
church, have been disturbed by riots
iu front of the church. The violators
escaped because the lawless element
was strong aud it almost meant death
to attempt to prosecute the offenders.
In the bloody tragedy Sunday one
man was instantly killed, another
was mortally wounded, another is re
ported dead and two men were severe
ly wounded. Nothing but pistols
were used, but the work done was ter
rible and quickly over. About fifty
shots are said to have beeu fired and
the congregation of the little church
fled in whatever direction safety was
offered.
The News telegraphed to J. C. Fish
er, at Trenton, N. C., the nearest
point, for information and received
from him the following telegram:
“Joshua Howard, Massina Howard
and Richard Howard led a raid on
Mountain Hill church. Luther Dur
ham aud Richard Gosnell went out to
arrest them. Josh Howard shot
Luther Durham in the mouth and
body. The shooting became general,
Massina Howard, “Dahe” Durham,
Shermau Bridgeman and others
taking part. Massina Howard was
killed instantly. Josh Howard was
fatally wounded, Shermau Bridgeman
was shot in the mouth, aud Richard

At a meeti^K>f the Aiken Schuet-
zeu Gesells^Bft, held on the 16lh
day of June,H|91, a committee con
sisting of PrEdent H. Hahn, Secre
tary H. Bu», and Colonel B. H
Teague. wasBppointed to draft suita
ble resolutioi Pin commemoration of
St. Julian Hand, late Captain of the
Edgefield Ri leg, who died on the 12th
day of June, 1891. Chairman Hahn,
in presenting the resolutions for the
committee, skid:
Death is fit all times a mournful
messenger. lAit particularly so is it
when the viclim was—as in this case
—our friend. On the 12th day of June,
by invitation of the Edgefield Rifles,
we attended a pic-nic near Edgefield
Court House. We were splendidly
received and every attention paid us
during the da]p, especially by Capt.
St. Julian Bland, whose hospitality
(Edgefield-liket knew no bounds,
who was unrenlitting iu caring for us,
aud who was actually ministering to
our wants when the fearful summons
came. His death under circumstances
so peculiar made it doubly trying to
us, and when he fell back into the
strong arms of a member of this com
mittee, a noblenbeart cfeased to beat
forever. In behalf of the committee
I offer the following resolutions:
Resolved, That we, the members of
the Aiken Schuetzeu Gcsellschaft,
deeply deplore the sudden om 1 un
timely demise of 81. Julian Bland,
late Captain of^e Edgefield Rifles,
