It seems to us she should staou solid, and present au undivided tfron t, and under no circumstances should :we. allow ourselves to be divided. It : ;may uot do us any harm to split up as to local matters, and on questions of purely local importance. But it behooves ub, as men, as patriots, as Southerners, to stand .shoulder to shoulder, and present an I - uabroken froot, not only on Presidential V- yeara but on ofl.'years.

Edito-bs TKTEtr?<SE^T!E?:: The fight; the farmers erenow making in the cotton i bagging line is said to be against the trust which controls jute "bagging. ThiB is all right and pre per, and in this you1 have and receive the sympathy of all i classes, bat let not your zeal be "without knowledge." v!Be not pursuaded that ybu can ever afford to entirely discard jute and substitute cotton covering in its stead without loss, both now and as long as you use cotton covering. For you cannot buy manufactured cotton and sell it again at the price of raw or lint cotton without a loss, neither now nor in the future. This is a fact so plain that any reasonable man will not dispute it. Nor need you be persuaded that the use of cotton, thus will increase the price of cotton sufficiently to make up the loss, for increase in the price of cotton increas? es the price of cotton goods. "Come, now, and let us reason togeth? er." Say that you get a strong cotton covering that will weigh a pound to the yard,.then you will put six pounds of; manufactured cotton, on a bale. Since it takes about one hundred pounds of lint cotton to make eighty pounds of cloth, you will add to the six pounds to the.bale one and a half pounds for waste in manufacturing, and this will give yon seven and a half pounds of lint cotton to the bale used as covering. Then seven millions, multiplied by seven and a half, would give you the number of pounds of lint cotton necessary to cover the entire cotton-crop, if 7,000,000 bales. Thus 700,000,000 x 7}?52,500,000, the num ber of pounds of lint cotton necessary .to cover seven million bales. This divided by 500, gives 105,000, the number of 500 pound bales necessary to cover 7,000,090 bales. The thing that suggests itself to the writer's mind as the best and most certain victory for the right against the jute bagging trust is for the farmers of the South and West to combine and es? tablish jute factories in the South,, buy the raw jute and manufacture their own bagging, and thus keep it out of the con? trol of the trust The victory oncewon in thiB way is won forever. The money lost in South Carolina this year by the use of cotton bagging would probably establish this jute factory, and make the South Carolina farmers free indeed of the trust. Think over this suggestion, and if it is a good one adopt it, if it is cot good reject it. Everybody in thiB coun? try commends you for fighting the Jute lhi8tf but think carefully, calculate the result, and so fight that when you have once gained the battle you will Aar? won a lasting victory over the trust. Jute is unquestionably the best covering you can get for your cotton, provided you can get for your cotton, provided you do by building Jute Factories in this country, and so arrange them that yon can control than, and not they control you. My heart is with you in all things that are right, and these lines are written in the full sympathy of a Fabmebs Son. The Farmers Must Stick. To the Editor of the New and Courier: I dislike to appear so often on the jute subject, but cannot be content when the subject is discussed daily. It now looks as if the manufacturers of the North, merchants at home and occasionally a farmer recommend jute. I would not judge the former to be an Alliance man. All opponents can say what they choose. The Alliance has obligated itself to use cotton covering. They must stick to it. If they do not, it is death to the Alliance. Cotton covering is no more of a failure than any man of judgment expected. We all know that it does not compare with jute. That part of the subject is not worth discussing. Outsiders need not bother their brains about it. There is a difference iu having a thing to sell and iu having it to buy. ? The Alliance will have the cotton for sale. If you grumblers aud croakers don't want it with cotton covering, don't buy it. Just come square, out and say you won't buy it. Do it, if you. dare, and if the Alliance stand to their obligation cotton will go to 12}. cents in three mouths. If cotton covering will shorten the crop one-seventh it will bring 12J cents. If cotton is worth 12} cents the, world will take it without a cover. It is sold every day Bide by Bide with jute, and no difference is made. That is the case when it is sold at home. If there is a difference when put on other markets, Alliance men will soon find it out aud quit that market. If they are making jute men, or those that cover with jute, pay part of it, that ia all right; that is to say, if farmers, who use jute, are getting leas for their cotton to make up for the loss ou cotton that is covered with cotton. So far there ia no difference in the price. When the buyer makes a difference there will be no sale. The sooner the Exchanges disapprove of cotton covering the better for the farmer, provided he sticks to his obliga? tion. It's no use to say we can't hold it. If we try we can ? hold. If a man has a thing in his own baud he can hold at least for a short time. If cotton covered cotton was held thirty days it would make quite a difference. Some of the Alliances ore talking of a stay law. That. won'S do. There is no use for it and it would do great harm. Jas. A. Petebkin. Fort Motte, October 8. Mills Amid tie Cotton. Chattanooga, October 4.?The Tradesman has instituted an exhaustive inquiry into the cotton mill industry of the South and has received reports from all the leading mills of the Southern States. The actual number of mills in operation is 339, against 142 in 1880, an increase of 232 per cent, since the censes year. The increase in mill consumption of raw cotton in the same period has been 235 per cent,-, South Carolina is the banner State, 132,319 bales having been consumed in that State last year, against 120,988 bales in Georgia. The consumption of raw cotton in South Carolina increased 33 per cent, in two year3. The concensus of opinions of leading manufacturers of the South, in writtea reports to the Tradesman, is that the South possesses advantages over any other part of Amer? ica for cotton manufactures, in, first, proximity to raw material; second, supe? rior climate; third, cheaper power; fourth, lower cost of rent and living; fifth, lower wage scale; sixth, less liabil? ity to strikes; seventh, cheaper build? ings; eighth, less expense for heating mills ; ninth, saving on freights. The reports show that the South has abundant material from which to develop an excellent labor force for industry. Nearly all labor is native, and, although the expansion of the industry since 1880 called for an increase in the number of hands amounting to 200 per cent, there has not been in that period a single seri? ous strike in one Southern cotton mill town, and but one of considerable duration iu any mill. The reports show that the operatives do not {lack a high degree of skill. The Tradesman has received returns of dividends from 25 leading mills South, located in six different States. These dividends run between 4 and 28 per cent, and the average of the 25 is 11} per cent, per annum. These 25 fairly represent the whole. ?

The Fordert* Eights. Editors tKtEtLl?fiNCER: Will you please allow us space ia the columns of j your paper for a short time, and we prom? ise you to be brief, but pointed. There is a clash or contention .between the mer? chants of the city of Anderson, and the farmers of Anderson County. Now, who j is responsible for it ? or who has brought j the thing on ? We, as farmers, claim that, the merchants have had all to do in this thing. We claim that the farmers have done nothing but what was their right and privilege to do, and We further claim that the farmers have waged war on no honorable industry or association. You j take the lawyers and they have their Bar Meetings, the doctors and they have their Medical Associations, the editors and they have their meetings, and the merchants i and they form themselves into Boards of Trade and Cotton Associations. That is all right, but you let the farmers form themselves into anything like self protec? tion and the merchants begin to put their whole influence against it. Now, Mr. Editor, we wage - no war against nothing that is to the interest of our country, but we do oppose any com? bination whatever that is calculated to in? jure the farming class of our Common? wealth. Have the farmers in this coun? try any rights and privileges? If they have, is it not high time for them to claim them? And if they claim them, has any man or set of men any right to ask why claim you your rights ? or why form yourselves into Alliances? Folly in the man or sot of men who try to take the farmer's right') away from him, for we are bound together and will stick to one another. Look at the action of the merchants on the 4th inst., if you please. Was their actions commendable? It is useless for me to tell you of their action, Now, sir, in this case, did not the merchants show that they were against everything that was in the' farmers' favor. They re? fused to buy any cotton from Alliance men, and more especially did they kick when the farmers' scales were mentioned. I know of some men as honest as the world ever knew, whom tbey refused to buy from. Why? Because the cotton would have to be weighed on the farmers' scales. But we' must not say a word 'when the honorable Board of Trade erect scales to weigh tho cotton on, but must waltz up and take what we can get, if we lose twenty, thirty or even fifty pounds of cotton to the load, we must keep our month, or we will incur the displeasure of the cotton weigher the honorable Board has placed there. Now, 6ir, the farmers' cotton weigher is a man known to every merchant at An? derson. We claim that he is strictly hon? est, and that the scales which he weighs on are TJ. S. standard, and why the mer? chants don't want cotton weighed on tbieca and by him they must say through your paper, or ever hereafter hold their mouth. Mou.ntai>~ Cheek Alliance. Andersonvllle Items. Mr. R. V. Dyar and Tom Harrison, (col.) had a very narrow escape with their Hves a few days ago. While drilling to blast in a well tbey struck gas. The men who did the drawing let them down in the well and went some distance to pick cot? ton. After an hour or so they went back, the signal to draw up was given, but the men in the vrell were in such a weak state, they barely had strength enough to hold on to the rop* to be drawn up. Mr. Dyar has abandoned the well. After losing so much time and several dollars,, it is very discouraging. Mr. D. M. Tippens is putting upa cotton gin at Andersonville, and will be ready for business before very long. We be? speak, for him a liberal patronage from his many friends in this section. We heard a man from Georgia say a few days ago that more cotton would be car? ried out of Georgia to Anderson this fall than have for many years. Hurrah for Anderson! our beloved city. We long to see you in the Tead. Gt jrgia's loss is South Carolina's gain. We extend our thanks to our clever friend, Norris Wright, for a nice treat of ?I'll not say what?and others whose names are too numerous to mention, for fruits, water melons, &c. Such kindness is always appreciated very highly. We have it from a reliable source that there is a colored man not far from this place that holds an exhorter's license in the Methodist Church who can read the Bible and talk from it very well, but all other books, such as the blue-back speller and first reader, are dead languages to him. What section can beat it ? We are in favor of the correspondents' conference, and as Mr. Editor is so kind as to tender the uso of his office for the conference, let us haye it by all means. Hope to hear from others on the subject. I will close by wishing the Int.jllioen cep. and all its staff, including the Devil, success through life, and hope to meet him in the conference at some future day, not fardistant..

Houston, Texas, ?ct 2.?The White Republican Protective Club here is dili? gently at work. Said a leader thereof to day : "Our club was organized but a year ago and it now numbers 185 io this city. Our platform and principles are not in accord with those of the Republican par? ty in the North and the East, where they know nothing of our race troubles. They want us to swallow the negrc>, but we won't. The negro has served hi;) purpo? ses long enough. He has been a great bugaboo iu the politics of the South, and all this cry about intimidation is bosh. "The negro is as free to vote as you or I are, but he is not reliable. His vote is for sale, and he votes with the Democrats as often as he does with the Republicans. He should be disfranchised. ; No sane white man will claim a negro as his equal, no matter what parly be may affil? iate with. "Just point to a single thing of any benefit to mankind which the mgro has accomplished. Has he invented the most trifling tool 7 No. sir; in his best state he is but a serai-civilized barbarian, and we have organized this white man's protec? tive party for the purpose of driving the colored race out of the Republican party. Our club and the one in Alabama form the nucleus pf this new politic?.! party, which before another decade will sweep the South like a whirlwind. "You see, when we drive the negro from the Republican ranks be will join the Democratic host?, and then the best men of the Democratic party will come over to us. With this new era of manu? facturing going on in the South and the influx of Northern Capital we will build up a white man's party on a protection to American industry platform, and inside of ten years we will see a Republican South. All the abuse we receive from the Republican press of the North not only makes us the more determined, .but aids ui in BecuriDg our desired aims."? New York Herald. ?

CRIMES ANB CASUALTIES. Chicago, October 3.?A ?}ma, Ohio Bpecial says: Eleven^ men aro reported to have Been killed in a quarry, near here, by an upheaval of earth, which was followed by the spouting of a subterra? nean stream of water 200 feet in the air. No particulars are at hand. Indianapolis, October ?.?At Mount Vernon, George Trice, an aeronaut with Wallace's circus, made an ascension, Aa he descended over the river he became tangled- in tbe rope, and Was dragged through the water abd drowned. This was his hundredth ascension. Cayuga, Ont., . October 4?Thr-e children, named Walton, obtained ac? cess to the powder house of tbe Gysum mine here yesterday afternoon and one of them lighted a match and ignited a quantity of powder. One child was lit? erally blown to pieces and the others can not recover. Fort Wayne, Ind., October 4.?A traction engine and a threshing machine, while being moved across a small stream near Janesville, in lhi-?county,yesterday, broke through the b-'(Ue and landed in I the water some thirty feet below. Fire ? men were buried under the engine. John Sparks and Henry Wright were pinioned beneath the boiler, and before tbey could be rescued had been scalded to death by escaping steam. The lures others were severely but not fatally in jured. Birmingham, Ala., October 3.?A sensation was created in Chambers County several days ago by the arrest of the Rev. J. H. M. Durarj, Methodist min? ister, charged with passiog counterfeit money. He was lodged in jail and his trial came off yesterday. He admitted that he bad passed spurious money, but proved that be had got it out of the con? tribution box. There were eight silver dollars in the box and seven of them were counterfeit. He says God and the sinners who passed tbe coins were tbe only ones who knew. The case was dismissed on account of the officer's ina? bility to get the absent witnesses. Indianapolis, Ind, October 5.?Two gangs of counterfeiters were surrounded near Palon yesterday by United States officers. Eight men were captured, and are being bronght to this city in charge of Deputy Marshal Mounts. Several months ago some spurious silver dollars were put on the market in this vicinity and Treasury Agent Carter, after consid? erable investigation, traced the stuff to Orange County. A trusted man was sent to the locality. He ingratiated him? self into the confidence of the men and gradually accumulated evidence against the unsuspicious violators with yester? day's results. There are fifteen men in all engaged in the making of counter? feit money. Chicago, October 4?Mrs. Mary O'Brien, 60 years of age, was robbed yesterday of $3 ,000 that represented her savings for years. Mrs. O'Brien came from Waltbam, Mass., Wednesday, on her way to her son's home at Elgin. She had sold her home in Waltham, and in a long envelope buttoned inside her dress were tbe proceeds of tbe sale. Mrs. O'Brien went to a cheap hotel near the depot, where she was given a room. Yesterday tbe odor of coal gas was no? ticed coming from her room. Tbe door was broken open and the gray-haired occupant was found lying on the floor unconscious. Assistance was given with such vigor that Mrs. O'Brien was soon restored to consciousness, but her money had disappeared. An employee of the bouse has been arrested. Chicago, October 4.?A dispatch from Jamboree Pike, Ky., says: "The old Hatfield-McCoy feud has broken out again, and at least three more lives have have been sacrifice! in tbe bloody vendet? ta, which has now lasted over seven years. Tbe shooting occurred at a mar? riage at tbe farm house of Peter McCoy. His daughter was to become the wife of John Hand, a relative of the Hatfield gaog, and members of both factions had sworn to prevent the union. Hand bad never been connected with tbe disputes of the factions and refused to recognize the leaders. On Tuesday night the bridal party assembled in McCoy's house, and just as young Hand and Miss McCoy stood before the minister a volley was poured through the window which killed both of them and fatally wounded tbe clergyman. Report says that the farmers and mountaineers of the locality are hunting for the murderers, but no trace of them has been found." Nashville, Tenn., October 4?News comes from Wilson County that Mormon elders have been driven out by White Caps. The elders disappeared some time ago, when the agitation was hot against them, but a few days ago returned, Re? lieving the storm to have blowu over. However, tbe people who warned them proposed to make their threat good. Forty or fifty masked men robed in white last night visited the bouses of William Barrett, Thomas Smith and Lee Barrett, where the elders have been, searching for them. Some one, however, bad given warning, and not an elder was to be found. These men were cau? tioned against allowing the elders to ever darken their doors again, and the elders left the County yesterday. A number of converts have declared they are done with it. The experience of a lady of the neighborhood, now in Bowles, Ky., has bad a beneficial effect. She went to Utah as a convert, but is back in her old home, warning others. Mobile, Ala., Oct. 3.?The assassina? tion committed in the church at Moss Point, Miss., last night was cold blooded, and entirely without cause. It seems that a half-witted negro, crazed with religious mania, went out last night with his double-barrelled shotgun, and, seeing the people seated quietly attending their devotions in the Presbyterian Church, fired off both barrels of his gun through tbe open front door of the church. There was so much consternation among tbe congregation that many thought that'an organized attack was about to be made on them. So, instead of pursuing tbe assassin, they shut the door, and could hardly be persuaded to open it even to the friends who were attracted to the church by the noise of the gun. Mean? time the negro escaped round behind the church and into the woods. He was seen, but those who saw him had no idea tbat a murder had been committed. So far the negro bas not been apprehended. In the church all was confusion. Mr. Daniel K. Mclcness was found seated in bis pew dead, with his head resting on his hand, and twenty-five buckshot in bis body: Miss Nellie, bis eldest daugh? ter, screamed and fell over with a buck? shot in her neck near the base ot the brain. She is thought to be fatally in? jured. Mr. Heney Blumer was badly hurt with five shot, one of which passed completely through his shoulder. The pewB and walls of the church in line with the aim of the gun were sprinkled with shot, but no one was hit. Searching parties were organized at once and the river was also patrolled in boats. Though many suspected negroes were captured they all proved their innocence and wore released. The negro is known to have come recently from Mobile here. He was regarded as a harmless crank, who went about pretending to prophesy the coming of tbe end of the world and other events. ? Tbe Atlanta Perfumery Company is preparing to build a factory this winter in the orange belt of Florida, where such flowers as orange blossoms, rose gerani? ums, roses, yellow jessamines, tuberoses, magnolias any many other fragrant Mowers can be bad in large quantities. The plant will be of sufficient capacity to make use of 200,000 pounds of flowers in tbe season. ? A woman reporter for a New York j newspaper has investigated the matter I of private hospitals. She finds that there are a dozen such places in the city, that they average nearly a birth a day by mothers who are usually unmarried women, and frequently of high social position, and that the children bo born are usually, sent away and sold to any? body who will buy them, without ques? tion of their purpose, the price aBked ranging from $10 to $30. The reporter ? bought a handsome baby forty-eight hours old for $lf>, and notf bus lit Tbc Crop of 18S0. The State agricultural report for 1888 put the value of the crop of 1888, taking the tables of average yield and the aver? age prices given, at ?40,433,294.' These tables included cotton, corn, oate, sweet potatoes, rice, wheat, peas, cane. Irish potatoes, sorghum and tobacco. The crop this year as near as can be approximated will range not far from $45,170,000.. The chief increase will be in corn and the enhanced price of cotton, and in the production of Irish potatoes and cane and sorghum crops. At two cents a pound the rice crop of last year amounted to ?1,335,047. It ought to reach something more this year. The sweet potato crop of last year at forty-five cents to the bushel reached $1,617,932 or nearly $300,000 more than the rice crop. The corn crop last year at seventy four cents to the bushel was worth $10,298,307. Is it putting the corn crop thU year at 17,000,000 bushels too high ? We think not. Such a crop at seventy four cents, about the worth of the corn for home use, would bring $12,500.,000. The cotton crop should bring some ?1,700,000 more than last year's crop. Cotton does not seem to promise in this State any great increase on last year's crop, and some think it will fall below last year's crop. There are con? tingencies which may make the crop o 'inewhat shorter, but we do not look to see a Ie3s crop than that of last year, and without an early killing frost we expect to hare a somewhat better cotton crop this year despite the complaints now made. All things considered, things are very well; and with the manufacturing pro? duct of the State now beginaing to be of moment, we look to see the best trade done in the Slate that has ever been done since the war. We are looking up a'l round in South Carolina, so that before long we will not have to run into Geor? gia to learn how they manage things over there. They will be coming here to see how we manage.

Wilfred Woodruff, president of the Church, presided, and George Q. Cannon, of the firet presidency, was present. There were also present five of the Twelve Apostles of the Church and a great number of other high Church offi? cials. President Woodruff in his opening address said the Mormon Church had been established by God, and that no power on earth could stay its progress. All revelations given to the saints, including polygamy, come direct from God, and notwithstanding the trials and troubles through which the Mormons have passed, the Lord would sustain all those who obeyed His principles and His revelations; Apostle J. W. Tainler commanded the people to give unquestioning obedience to the priesthood. "These men at the head of the Church," be said, "have the spirit of revelation and speak for God. I boar my testimony that President Wood? ruff and his counsellors are prophets, seers and revelators. The band of God is over this Church, and no power can destroy it or impede its progress. I be? lieve in implicit obedience in temporal and spiritual thing?. We cannot retain the spirit of God and yet be constantly finding; fault with the priesthood. We must learn not to judge men by what we see, nor on the basis of the limited oppor? tunity we have of knowing what they are doing for the people. We should not criticize the Church authorities." Elder Jacob Gates and Apostle Grant and Elder Abram spoke in a similar vein. The Church authorities are embracing every opportunity to keep the people in line politically, for they fear that with the loss of their political power their ecclesi? astical supremacy will begreatlv weaken? ed. Mountains of the East, If you ask' almost any one which is the highest mountain in the United States east of the Rocky mountains, the reply will be "Moutit Washington, in New Hampshire." Now, according to Golden Days, this is giving credit where credit is not due. If you will lock at your atlas you will see the Appalachian chain of mountains, which divides North Carolina and Ten? nessee. The average height of the chain exceeds 5,000 feet, and the highest peaks are in North Carolina. Mount Washington is 6,285 feet above the tea level, but in North Carolina there are fourteen mountains of greater altitude. Their names and heights are as follows: Mount Mitchell, 6,717 feet; Guyot's peak, or Balsam cone, 6,671; Olingman's dome, 6,600; Sandy Knob, 6,612; Hairy Bear, 6,657; Cat Tail peak, 6,595; Gibbe's peak, 6,586; Mount Alexander, 6,477; Sugar Loaf, 6,401 ; Potato Top, 6,393 ; Black Knob, 6,537 ; Mount Henry, 6,378 ; Bowler's pyramid, 6,346; Koan Mountain, 6,318. These are the measurements of Professors Guyot and Mitchell, with the latest ejections by J. A. Holmes, of the Sta'e geological de? partment. The monarch of eastern mountains, it will be seen, is Mount Mitchell, which is 432 feet higher than Mount Washington. It was named after Professor Elisha Mitchell, a native of Connecticut, and a graduate of Yale College. As far back as 1852 Professor Mitchell demonstrated that the Mountain which now bears his name was the highest east of the Rocky Mountains. NOTICE TO CREDITORS.
