The Tobac Crop. AIKEN. H. C.. 8EPT. 23. 1892. Unnecessary Alarm. There appears to be much unneces sary alarm shown by some of the in land cities in reference to the threat ened approach of cholera. The dis ease does not appear to be making any headway in New York or else where in this country, yet several in land cities have declared a rigid quar antine against New York passengers and freight. At this stage such pre cautions are not necessary, and do serious damage to business interests, beside unnecessarily alarming the people. According to the report in the State Gov. Tillman is acting wisely In the matter. He says that he has been looking oyer the Acts bearing on the quarantine of the State against pesti lence, and he has found that he has the authority at any time to Issue a proclamation establishing a quaran tine against other States, etc. At the same time the State Board of Health is charged with the work of looking into the danger of diseases of a con tagious nature and reporting them. The Act gives him the power to de clare a quarantine even if there is only a danger of disease of this char acter, and in mentioning Asiatic cholera particularly gives him full authority to guard against it. He is anxious to do all in his power to pro tect the people of this State, but does not wish to interfere with business unless there is grave danger. The Inter-State Case. The matter of the illegal arrest of Robert G. Gibbs in the State of North Carolina, by Constable A. J. Fisher of Spartanburg County, S. C., has not been settled. After investigating the case Gov. Tillman telegraphed to Gov. Holt that he was satisfied that Gibbs was brought into this State illegally, and that if it was the desire of the Gover nor of North Carolina that Gibbs should be released, he would co-oper ate promptly. At the same time he asked that Gibbs be arrested in Polk County by the North Carolina author ities and held until the papers are sent from Columbia. Gov. Tillman also added that he re gretted exceedingly that an officer of this State should have transcended his powers and invaded the State of North Carolina to make an arrest, and if it is the wish of Gov. Holt that the parties concerned shall an swer for their conduct, he will be glad to surrender them to a North Carolina officer on presentation of proper papers. But according to the Attorney Gen eral’s decision Governor Tillman has no authority to take Gibbs out of jail and return him to the North Carolina authorities. He has been committed regularly by a regularly authorized Justice of the Peace. It is true the warrant was defective and the man was arrested where the constable had no right to arrest him, but, as it stands, this must be a mat ter for the courts, and it seems that the only way for Gibbs to get out and back to North Carolina is by getting a writ of habeas corpus issued before any Judge or two Justices of the Peace. Artesian "Water. The origih of cholera in Hamburg has been proved to have been in the use of impure water. That city de rived its supply of water from the river Elbe, and as soon as the cholera poison got into the river, it tvas at once distributed by the pipes all oyer the city. This fact shows the imposi- bility of preserving the purity of any stream, branch, or surface spring, and the danger of relying on such sources for the water supply of a town. The Hamburgers have reaMzed this, after the death of many thousands from the plague, and are now busy boring artesian wells in search of pure water. It is stated that many of the wells are bored by engineers in the employ ment of the city, although about fifty have been put in by private enter prises. In all loO have been bored, and before October there probably will be enough to supply the majority of families with pure water. When this is done, there will be ho more epidemic. This matter is re spectfully suggested to the attention of the citizens of Aiken before it is too late. It has not been demonstrat ed that artesian water, can not be ob tained in Aiken; and from the yery nature of things it can not be, until some experiments have been made. Is it not therefore better to make an experiment first, and see whether artesian water can be obtained, rather than introduce into the town water, which, whether deservedly or not, may be distrusted by many people? About the only proceedings in the convention in Columbia that were of much interest in the shape of a con test were the efforts made by the friends of Mr. W. C. Benetand D. A. Townsend for the Attorney-General ship. The Conservatives held aloof from the contest, and left the Till- manites to settle matter, which they did in caucus, by giving Benet 114 votes and Townsend 149. All of Ai ken's 8 delegates voted for Benet. This is how Mr. Benet was defeated, and he might well ask his friends “if he was to be s<> soon done for, what was he e’er begun for?” The following extract from the News and Courier is of Importance to our farmers, as showjtug what can be done with another ctop besides cot ton :— ; The Florence tobacco warehouse opened for its second season on Fri day, with over one hundred thousand pounds of tobacco jon the floor. A large number of buyers, representing all the leading firths in the coi were present. Many tobacco men from North Carolina and Virginia were there, and planters from every tobacco-producing County in the State, to witness the break. A ma jority had tobacco on the door. The season starts off under th^ most fa vorable auspices. The gr^ide of to bacco and price compaio favorably with any other market in the country. The experience of the farmers who have cultivated tobacco this year has proved that our lauds ar<i well adapt ed to this crop, and there is no reason why it should not be made a valuable one for many South Carolina farmers who have been struggling for several years under cotton. A ready money crop is essential, and tobacco seerrs to be the most promising, Charleston Quarantine. In the matter of quarantining at Charleston against New York, the Charleston authorities have decided to permit the Clyde steamers and other vessels to come up to the city after being inspected and fumigated. Tnis will cause only a detention of four or five hours in the schedule time of the Clyde Bine, and will in no way interfere with the business transacted by that company or incommode trav elers over the water in the slightest degree. As regards a laud quarantine, the authorities decided to call the atten tion of the State Board of Health to the matter, that body having power to act if such a measure becomes nec essary. The State Convention of the,. Demo crats of South Carolina. From The Augusta Chronicle. The State Democratic Convention on Wednesdav was the quietest and most unfruitful of sensational and ex citing features that has been held in South Carolina daring the last two years. The Conservatives, of course, expected to accomplish nothing, as they were in a hopeless minority, and all that they could do was to resolve to protest against anything that might seem too radical. The Till- mauites, however, were rather moder ate, considering the rumors that have been current as to third partyism in the regular proceedings of the conven tion, though they took the bit in their moutli and galloped r.ght away from the conservatives. King" caucus played a most impor tant part in shaping what was done. The Tillmauites were at it almost continually from 9:20 a m. until 5 p. m., taking a recess in order to allow the convention to meet and then re cessing the convention in order to have the caucus reassemble. The piece de resistance of the caucus was the nomination of Townsend or Benet for Attorney General. Had the Till- manites known what was going on in the Conservative caucus their ran- gle over this matter would have been dispensed with, as the Conservatives decided not to yote for either of the Tillman candidates, but to support their own man first, last and all the time. The Conservatives also decided that if a motion was made to make Till man’s nomination unanimous, it would not be agreed to. Such a mo tion, however, was not offered. The greatest interest in the Conven tion hinged on whether the State Democracy would align itself with the National Democracy. It was ex pected that this would be shown in the selection of the temporary officers and the speech of the temporary chairman. Dr. Sampson Pope, of Newberry, was elected chairman. On assuming the chair the chairman gaid • “I thank you for the distinguished honor which you have conferred upon me. I congratulate you that in South Carolina today there is union among the white people. I congratulate you that in South Carolina we have de mocracy in its purity. I congratu late you that while the third party is being pushed forward in several states. In South Carolina it has no foothold at all. “I congratulate you, gentlemen, that you are united for Cleveland and reform. And I believe that at the approaching election we will give the largest majority for Cleveland for president and Tillman for governor that has ever been given in South Carolina.” These sentiments are regarded as conclusive and expressive of the sen timents of the Convention for Cleve land and no third party. Permanent organization was effect ed with Dr. Sampson Pope as presi dent, before taking recess for dinner. Upon reassembling at six o’clock the committee of platform and resolutions reported the following platform: We the representatives of the Dem ocratic party of South Carolina, in Convention assembled, do reaffirm our allegiance to the principles of the Democratic party as formulated by Jefferson, exemplified and illus trated by his successors in leadership, and endorsed by the people in the recent primary election, and we pledge our loyal support to the nom inees of the National Democracy, Cleveland and Stevenson. “We denounce as unpatriotic and infamous the attempts which have been made to injure the credit and honor of the State, both at home and abroad. “The people of South Carolina con scious of their ability and integrity, are determined that every just obli gation of the State shall be honorably and promptly discharged and we boldly proclaim that upon this one object there is no difference or divi sion of sentiment among the sons of the State. The bonded debt of the State is small; her resources are large and ample. In her phosphate depos its alone the State is rich, and since the litigation in regard thereto has been adjusted, the monthly receipts from the phosphate royalty for the past two months is nearly sufficient to meet the interest on the debt itself. We earnestly recommend to the legis lature to set apart by law any excess of the phosphate royalty, after paying the annual interest on the State debt, as a sinking fund to be placed at in terest and sacredly kept and used for the purpose of paying the.principaliof the State debt.” A vigorous debate followed the in troduction of the platform, a minority repof also having been introduced. jTK majority report was adopted by # vote of 264 to 50. The entire State ticket was then nominated as follows: Governor—Benjamin Ryan Till man. Lieutenant Governor—Eugene B Gary. Secretary of State—J. E. Tindall Comptroller General—W. H. El- lerbe. Treasurer—W. T C. Bates. Attorney General—D. A. Town send. Superintendent of Education—W. D. Mayfield. Adjutant and Inspector General— H. L. Farley. The Conservatives simplp set up their men and had them knocked down. The following electors were then chosen; At large, Ernest Gary and Dr. W. J. M. Stokes; first district C. C. Tracy; second, T. S. Williams; third, J. H. McCalla; fourth, L. B. Walker; fifth, G. S. Brice; sixth, L. W. Nettles; seventh, James F. Hart. A resolution was adopted to the effect that the electors be required to file with the State Executive Com mittee within ten days their pledges in writing, to support the nominees of the Democratic party. Governor Tillman was escorted in to the hall on the arm of John Gary Evans. He was greeted with tre mendous applause, and spoke as fol lows : “Mr. President and Gentlemen of the Convention: The good book says that there is a time for all things. Judging by the quantity of it we have had in South Carolina during the past summer there must have been a time” for speaking, and I think have done my share of it. “I shall theiefore impose on your patience but for a short time to-night. We haye passed through a very bitter, exciting and, I might say, malignant campaign of white men, of Democrat against Democrat. You have met here as the representatives of a ma jority of the Democratic people of South Carolina. This convention is different from any other heretofore held in South Carolina, inasmuch as you have come direct from your mas ters—the people. You have not been constituted by any thimble-rigging County convention process or club business, delegating its powers to send you here; but you have come right straight from the ground, f»esh from and in immediate touch with the jeople, “The issues of the campaign through which we have just )assed are well understood, and it is quite unnecessary for me to rehearse them now. One of these issues, and peihaps the one that was fought with the most bitterness and excited the most enthusiasm, was whether I should be returned to my home in Edgefield with the stigma of the dis grace upon me that I was an un worthy and incompetent public ser vant. or whether I should receive the flaudits of my people as having tried ;o do my duty. The efforts put forth jy those who believed that I was un fit to govern this State were perhaps worthy of more success, because they certainly fought me with all the ar dor, enthusiasm and vigor of men en gaged in a patriotic undertaking; bu t am not here to stigmatize their mo tives. I am here ready to acknowl edge that there are good men on both sides, patriots on both sides, and that those who fought the farmers’ move ment and reform in State affairs made their fight on what they believed to be their duty. All I now ask them is that they shall believe and admit that we were actuated by a sense of duty. f “I stand here, gentlemen, because the people of South Carolina who have not sent me home in disgrace, but have again placed in my hand the banner which they gave me two years ago—that banner of unstained Dem ocracy, under which we shall again move forward, working with common will, common zeal and common en ergy for the welfare of South Caro lina. “Let me ask you when you go back to your homes to return my thanks to the people again. Individually too, I thank you, because you have been in the ranks with the masses. And to those who have fought us, I would say we extend the right hand of fel lowship, friendship and brotherly love of Carolinian to Carolinian, with the hope that we shall move forward together and bridge the chasm, if it may be done.” Better Than Polities or Cotton.

General Manager C. M. Ward, of the South Carolina Railway, returned to Charleston on Tuesday from a trip to Blackville, S. C. Mr. Ward brings back to the city with him a variety of specimens of fine tobacco which were grown and cured this season upon the plantation of Mr. S. G. Mayfield, of Denmark. Mr. Ward had also col lected a number of most interesting facts from Mr. Mayfield regarding his experiments in the culture of tobacco. Mr. Mayfield this year planted 33 acres in tobacco, building at the same time a number of barns in which to house and cure his crop. Now that the season is well advanced he is able to furnish a fairly accurate statement concerning the result of his experi ments in the Barnwell section. The 83 acres referred to have yielded from 1,200 to 1,750 pounds per acre of as fine.a grade tobacco as the average of the fields of North Carolina and Virginia afford. This tobacco, which is now in pro cess of marketing in Florence, brings about an average of 15 cents per pound, and special lots have sold for as much as 29 cents. Mr. Mayfield vouches for the fact that growing and housing his crop has cost him not more than forty dollars per acre. A short calculation shows a result which stands out in bold relief beside the profits of a cotton crop marketed at Gcents per pound. According to the above estimates Mr. May field’s tobacco crop has, at a cost of less than $50 per acre, yielded him $189 for the same quantity of ground. Admitting that when the expen>e of shipping and marketing have been added that the expense per acre is $80, which Mr. Mayfield thinks an exorbitant estimate, he still has left him the handsome result of $100 for each of the thirty-three acres which he last spring planted in to bacco. A CARD. Having been informed that there are many ladies who say that they have asked us to change their old style trunks to the roller-trav. and that we have refused to accommo date them, we beg to say that we would like very much to oblige them, but we cannot make the change with credit to ourselves, the roller-tray trunks being made in every way su perior to the ordinary trunk.

Tie sysbra was not ex pected to be atogetlur infalible but it was thought that it vould make the entrance of the disease much more ^hau.with tht gates open. With this elnd in vi w a proclama tion was rai led, ari sent to the Governor for i his sigature. It was addressed to mil corpoations and in dividuals in l the Stae and asking their active qto opperaton in keeping the scourge firom our tyors. When thi$i proclauuion reached Governor Tillman it sems that, that official refused to sign i, and induced the health authorities to postpone further action until mou definite de velopments in the cholra situation. The Carnival in Aigusta. The Augusta Chronic? says: “The Augusta Carnival Assciation has about come to an end. The associa tion is in debt to the armant of $1,000, which indebtedness has yeen carried over for two years now by two or three parties, who In aany cases have taken money from their own private pockets to mee demands. The members of the assoiation feel that their efforts towars securing visitors every year and something genuinely interesting to entertain them are not appreciated >y the peo ple of Augusta. They ha'p been lo sing money on each succetling carni val. They are tired of il and will not labor gratuitously—nore than gratuitously—any longer. They meet with comparatively no ncourage- ment, and things have nowreached a climax. A chattel mortgagi has been given the principal crediwrs on the assets of the association, tonsisting of eighteen wagons, masks,sostumes, etc., valued at $2,000. The mortgage will be foreclosed within the next few days unless the unexpeted hap pens. In order to have a carnival this season it will be necessary for the citizens to come forward an* guaran tee the association $1,000 aid a suffi cient amount to cover the exyenses of the next carnival.” The Penitentiary Plup. i The political prophets ar«already at work speculating who is tl> fill the position of Superintendent of the Penitentiary.

The Register says: It is understood l hat there will be several contestants I’or the position, but the man who will probably secure the position is Capt, J. E. Jaruigin, Col. Talbert’s present popular lieutenant, who has been the executing officer of all the reforms in that institution under the present administration. Summerville, we know excels in electric storms, earthquakes <&c,, but according to The News and Courier, it exceled itself in a storm on Monday night. After the celebrated Pike Hole had become a mass of roaring plunging waters, one bolt of lightning struck the railway track, and scater- ed in one thousand different direc tions; another played havoc with a chimney top, ridge board, and the weather-boarding of Capt. Samuel Lord’s house; another struck two cows, cutting off both their horns close to their heads; while many trees were struck here and there without special discrimination. It is com forting to know that this storm was local. Capt. Brown, of the weather bureau for the State, has just issued his re port of the condition of the crops: He says: The condition of the cotton crop remains unfavorable, and has been to some extent increased by rain and the lack of sunshine, which has extended over nearly the entire State. The devastation caused by the exces sive rains, drought and rust has com pletely destroyed the vitality of the plant, leaving only the July fruit, which is now matured and opening rapidly, and which has been damag ed by the rains of the present week, so that it may be safely estimated that the crop will compare very un favorably with the crop of last year. DRUNKENNESS, or the LIQUOR HABIT, Cured at Home in Ten Days by administering Dr. Haines’ Golden Specific. It can be given in a glass of beer, a cup of coffee or tea, or in food, with out the knowledge of the patient. It is absolutely harmless, and will effect a permanent and speedy cure, wheth er the patient is a moderate drinker or an alcoholic wreck. It has been given in thousands of cases, and in every instance a perfect cure has fol lowed. It never fails. The system once impregnated with the specific, it becomes an utter impossibility for the liquor habit to exist. Cures guaran teed. 48-page book of particulars free.

It says: The people’s party is a mere passing phenomenon in American politics, like the know- nothings, anti-Masons, greenbackers and other ephemeral factions that have arisen from time to time. Even in passing, the people’s party is not likely to make an impression upon the legislation or government of the country. Its program is so wild and extravagant that its own supporters would shrink from putting it into opperation if they had the power to do so. Henry Clews, the New York bank er, after reviewing the cholera situa tion and its probable effect on the fi nancial market, says: “While, upon the grounds above specified, we can see no sufficient reason for expecting that the cholera alarm will develop into any general or important break in the prices of stocks, yet. neverthe less, the market is likely to be a fluc tuating one, affording ample oppor tunities for quick turns with moder ate profits.” Mr. Joseph Hcmmerich An old soldier, came out of the War greatly enfeebled by Typhoid Ferer, and after being in various hospitals the doctors discharged him as incurable with Con«uniptioii.
