J New York reports say that the fall trade is setting in well, and a brisk season is ?nopedibr. "The snath is baying more. ^liberally; than for some time, and the terms made show that that section is in a very prosperous condition?more so per* ?hap3 than any other, except a few StateB in central west." ??? The increase in the population of South Carolina since 1880 has been about s2QO,000. The present basis of represen Station is 151,000 and the proposition is to increase it to 180,000. If this is done South Carolina will retain her seven members. If the ratio is left as it stands I thet State will gain a member. ? ?.- ? \ -The Agricultural College bill passed ^Congress' la?t Thursday. It gives the "A^coltural Colleges of each State ?15,000 "the first year, ?16,000 the second, and so ^on^ increasing at the rate of $1,000 an? nually, until ?25,000 is reached, at which it shall remain as a permanent annual appropriation. The money is to come from, the sale of public lands. ,iThe Convention "6f Governors of all the cotton States has been called by General Gordon to meet in Atlanta on September -I0V The Convention was asked for by ' the Georgia State Alliance in session last week. Each Governor is to appoint six delegates, making seven representa? tives from each cotton State. The Con? tention will consider the matter of direct trade with ' Liverpool; also questions relative to weights, insurance, freight and handling of cotton. I . An exchange says the Grand Army of the Republic, while in session in Boston, passed a resolution requesting Congress to pass a law prohibiting, under penalty of ?^revere punishment, tbe treasuring or dis? play of Confederate flags. This is one thing that no law of Congress can prevent, and ." the fact i3 recognized by everybody except the roaring asses of the Grand Army of pension grabbers. Such a law passed by .Congress would cause eve::y Southeru nun, woman and child to love and respect j.far more than they do now ithe ensign of the Lo3t Cause. The action of the Grand Army fanatic shows that the fool killer is ' ne t attending to his busiues?. \ Ihe ?'anti-TiUman conference met in .^Convention Tuesday night, with 300 delegates in attendance. A special dis? patch to the Greenville New,*, of Wednes? day morning, says the indications are (that the action will be conservative, ..although a strong, aggressive element fa Ivors-the demand that the Executive ' Committee revoke the call fortheSep tember Convention and call a State Con? vention for October. The effect of obedience to this demand would be to ^virtually force the issue between two Ex? ecutive Committees and two nominations. Thi3 proposition, it was thought, would ? be:; voted down. This is the latest n?tformation we have received from the Conference. . : It comes with an ill grace for men to speak of healing the wounds caused by " ti e late-war between the sections and de? ploring the unfortunate feeling that pre vents perfect harmony between the Rorth and the South, aud at the same time are throwing the firebrands of discord and -hate at the homes of neighbors. We re - peat it. It matters not what motive ij^pjpmpts such a feeling, it comes with an -:?i-grace. Hell may hold the fires of hate and enmity, out heaven is the fit home for harmony. It is from concord and unity ^from which we gather strength. It is from discord and enmity that we grow weak. Some men are born to hate: This ?via perfectly natural with them. They cannot help it, but we pity the weakness of those who take such for their leaders. ' The Baptists of the United States, and indeed, of the world, says the Atlanta Constitution, have cause for thankfulness and congratulation in the announcement ; that a.great university, under the auspi? ces of the Baptist denomination, will soon be founded in the city of New York. At least that is tbe probability. Mr. John D. Rockfeller, of Standard Oil fame, who has frequently made magnificent ' gifts;to Baptist Churches and institutions in the United States, is the man who proposes to found such a university and to introduce it to the people with the princely endowment of $20,000,000. It is Baid that Mr. Rockfeller is in earnest about this matter. He is one of the wealthiest men in America, or in the world, for that matter?and his desire seems to be to lend his millions to the en? couragement of good works, and to build for himself a monument in the hearts of the people?the only place where monu? ments endure. Twenty million dollars I It is, perhaps, the most magnificent en? dowment that any institution has ever had, the largest sum ever given by one man for such a purpose. j] The total population of the country is, eays the Atlanta Journal, still computed at 64,000,000. The House of Represen? tatives at present consists of 332 members, and is now a body so large as to make the expedition of its business a difficult matter, especially when questions of a i party character are under consideration. The probability is that the number will . not be> increased, except by the admission . of members from the three or four territo? ries yet to come in as States. Assuming, therefore, that the present number will be maintained, the ratio of representation must be increased to about 190,000. This would give Georgia 10 members as at present; Alabama might gain 1, on account of a large fraction, giving her 9, North and South Carolina would retain their present representation; Virginia and Tennessee might lose 1 each ; Mis? sissippi and Arkansas would gain 1 each ; and Texas and Missouri would gain at least 1 each. There would probably be bo change in Kentucky^Maryland, Loui? siana and Florida. It thus appears that the Southern States cannot lose, relative? ly with other sections, in representation, and the prospect is that they will gain at least two or. three in the aggregate. The Northwestern States will also gain, and those losing, representation will be the States of inveterate sectional hate and fa? naticism. ? It takes about three seconds for a - message to go from one end of the At ^Iantic cable to the other?about 700 miles a second.

South Carolina Politics. Col. John C. HaBkell, a member of the National Democratic committee from South Carolina, is at the St. James Hotel. He said last night the political situation in his State pointed clearly to the elec? tion of Tillman, the candidate of the Farmers' Alliance, for. Qovernor. In the opinion of Col. Haskell, Tillman was not a fit man for the place he seeks, bnt be had taken advantage of the Farmers' Alliance craze and had come out as-the leader of the people. What was still more important he had captured the Democratic machine in Sonth Carolina, and the old-line conservative Democrats were confronted with the alternative of either swallowing Tiliman or else figur? ing in the role of bolters. Of the two evils Col. HaBkell thought the South Carolina Democrats would probably accept Tillman on the ground that it is better politics to preserve the seeming integrity of the Democracy of the State than to create an open breach. Meanwhile it was to be hoped that the people of Sonth Carolina would shake of the madness that posseeses them now and awake to the necesity of preserving their interests. The policy of the Farmers' Alliance was to demand everything and promise its possible good will in return. "There is to be a Democratic Conven? tion in South Carolina September 10," said Col. Haskell, "and at this Conven? tion a candidate for Governor will be nominated. I have no doubt at all that Tillman will be this nominee. He con? trols the machine, which he gained while we slept, and he will use it. That he will be the next Governor seems certain. I really do not think that there will be any open opposition to him. There are two other questions which are concerned in this political movement?a United States Senator, to succeed Gen. Wade Hampton and the State debt. I believe that Gen. Hampton will be his own successor, for I cannot conceive of a condition of affairs which would result in the election of any one else. Our people are mad with the Farmers' Alliance fever, bnt they are not so mad as to repudiate Gen. Hampton. "With regard to the State debt I am I mnch afraid that these people will not be able to handle the matter. They have had no experience in public finance, and, under the leadership of Tillman, they may do the State an injury that will be well-nigh. irreparable. Still, I think it is wise to let the people of Sooth Carolina go ahead and elect Tillman. That is probably the surest way of cur? ing them of their present madness," Judge Alexander C. Haskell, of South Carolina, is aho at the St. James. He does not agree with Col. Haskell to the policy tobe pursued by the South Carolin? ians in the present emergency. He de? nounces Tillman as a demagogue, and says that he should be opposed at every hazard, and although defeat were cer? tain. He thinks that the respectability of the South Carolina Democrats demands this. Moreover, he does not regard the situation as hopeless. He believes that if the regular Democrats were to organ? ize at once they could still defeat Tillman, notwithstanding the fact that he has control of the State machine. Judge Haskell believes that if Tillman is suc? cessful in Sonth Carolina he will succeed Gen. Hampton in the United States Senate. Altogether he regards the outlook as gloomy, but he is pugnacious, and would rather be defeated than not to fight at all. He says that Tillman is masquerad? ing as a martyr under the pretence of a fear that he will he assassinated, whereas there is not the slightest dangor of injury in any form?a fact only too well knpwn to Tillman. While Judge Haskell is anxious to fight Tillman and the Far? mers' Alliance, he is sorely afraid that the Democracy of South Carolina will surrender without firing a ohot? From the New York Times, August 23. ? The boiler of Matthews' mill near Newberry, burst on Thursday last, in? stantly killing four men, one white and three colored, tearing their heads and limbs from their bodies. Two other per? sons were badly scalded and wounded and will probably die. A little negro boy was the only person in the vicinity of the explosion who was not killed or seriously injured. i The Force Bill Bead, Washington, August 22.?The fate of the force bill has been officially settled. It is dead. However, there is a bare chance of its resurrection at the next session. The wings of the Eepublican Senators flopped together to day, and Quay, as expected, is the master of the situation. The agreement is, as outlined in these dispatches last night?that the force bill shall go over until the next session. On Monday, a resolution, similar to Mr. Quay's, mapping oat an order of business for the balance of this session, will be placed before the senate, and passed, probably, by nnanimous consent. This was the result of last night's caucus. A committee appointed by that caucus met to day, drew up a resolution similar to Mr. Quay's, which provides that the tariff appropriation bill, and a few other unimportant matters be considered at this session; that general debate on the tariff bill be closed on August 30th ; that debate ander the five minute rule be continued until September 8th, on which day the final vote shall be taken. After drawing up this resolution the Eepubli? can Committee drew up a paper contain? ing this provision, and added to it was an agreement that the force bill be taken up the first thing next session, and that a vote upon it be taken on the 20th of De? cember. The paper also provides for a change of the rules of the Senate, if ne? cessary, to accomplish this result. This paper was circulated among the republicans for their signatures, and was quite generally signed. The idea of the committee was to get forty-three signa? tures. They did not succeed in this, but secured enough to make it absolutely certain that the bill would go over until the next session. Then the Democratic leaders were ap? proached and the proposition was made to them that if they would agree to a vote on the tariff bill on the date mentioned in the resolution and agree to adjourn within a few days thereafter, the force bill would not be considered. Senator Gorman, the Democratic lea? der in this fight, replied that he bad no doubt but that bis party would willingly accept such a proposition; he would confer with his colleagues and give a de? finite answer in time for the order for business to be arranged on Monday. To-night the Democrats are holding a conference at Senator Gorman's residence to consider the matter and decide offi? cially to accept the Eepublican proposi? tion. That part of the Republican pro? gramme relating to the passage of the bill next session has not been made known to the Democrats, as it has nothing to do with the agreement so fat as this session is concerned.. They will, however, fight the force bill as vigorously next session as they have this. While the proposition to pass the bill next session originated in the mind of Quay, for the purpose of whipping the fight without an open breach in his party, he knows that the bill has little more chance of passing next session than this. The agitation of the question throughout the country has caused half a dozen sen j ators to change front, and there are now I that many who openly say they are op I posed to such an infamous measure, In Xhe first place, it is very doubtful if the rules can be changed; and in the second place, even if they are changed, there are many who believe the bill will be defeated on a fair, open vote in the Senate. However that may be, its fate is settled for this session. There will be no Feder? al bayonets around our polls in Novem? ber, nor will there be federal returning boards to seat republicans who have no shadow of title to seats in Congress. Elections in the South will be as they have been for the past twenty years. Congress will adjourn about September 15th. Talk of an extra session was in? dulged in here this morning, but it is all bosh. Nobody wants one and there will be none. The Democratic conference to-night, at Senator Gorman's, adjourned at 11 o'clock, after deciding to accept the agreement proposed by the republicans. The agree? ment isthat a general debate on .v: the tariff bill shall close on August 30th ; that the debate under the five minute rule shall continue until September 8th, upon which day the final vote shall be taken. In making this agreement, the democrats have a pledge from the repub? licans that the force bill will not be called up this session. Instead of passing a reso? lution on Monday providing for an order of business, Mr. Aldrich will simply ask unanimous consent for a vote on the tariff bill on September 8th, which will be agreed to. This is all that will be said or done in open session of the Sen? ate. The democrats gain a victory at every point. The force bill goes over, the rules remain unchanged, and they simply agree as heretofore by unanimous consent to a day for voting on the pending bill. Dosed with Morphine. Atlanta, Ga., August 23.?There is a professional nurse in Atlanta whose name has not been given, but for whom | the police are looking. She was employed recently to care for a child of wealthy parents" during the first six weeks of its existence. The little one thrived several weeks, sleeping most of the time, but when the nurse was dis? charged at the expiration of six weeks the child grew fretful, slept bat little, and is now in a very critical condition, and the doctors do not expect it to live. No cause could be assigned for the babe's condition until the nurse was employed to care for another infant. It slept most of the time and everything went well until the mother detected the nurse giving It morphine from a paper she had hidden in her bosom. The nurse Baid she administered the drug to keep the baby quiet, as she could not afford to have it crying all the time. She was discharged, and the child?well, it now fills a tiny grave, while the other is expected to follow it, and the nnrso cannot be found.?Macon Telegraph. ? Old Nicholas Luning, of San Fran? cisco, who died the othpr day worth $15,000,000, was very grasping and miser? ly. Some lime ago an acquaintance who met him noticed that he looked very unhappy. "What is the matter, Mr. Luning?" he asked. "Matter enough," growled the old millionaire. "Eve got 15,000,000 lying idle in the bank, because I can't loan it at anything over 6 per cent." AlLIAN?fl GoLUMN, %?r- All communications intended for j this Column should be addressed to J. W. I BowDEy, Denver, S. C._ The Right to Rule. If we correctly understood Gen. Earle in his Orangeburg speech, he denied with great emphasis the right of the farmers to control the government. His idea is that the right to rule inheres in the intelligent portion of the people. This is the way we understood him; this is the way he is reported in tbe pa? pers. With the claims of Gen. Earle as a candidate we do not propose here to deal; but as an expounder and teacher of the principles of government, affecting all classes of citizens alike, we 'take issue with him. Passing by his implied division of the people into the ignorant farmer majority on one hand, and the intelligent minority on the other, we protest most emphati? cally against the doctrine that a majority of the people have no rigbt to control the government. If the farmers or any other class of citizens, bound together by common in? terest, agree as touching any measure or policy, by every token of free institutions, by every expression and implication of Democratic government, by every obli? gation of citizenship, they not only may, they are bound to control the government, if they can. If they constitute a majori? ty of the voting population a solemn re? sponsibility rests upon them to make that measure or policy effective?if it be ne^ cessary to control the government in or? der to bring about this result, then it be? comes a solemn duty for them to exercise their right to control. This does not necessarily imply the election of none except farmers or any special class to tbe various departments of government. It does, of necessity, imply, however, tbe pledging before hand of all aspirants to office to the support of the measures proposed. The only true idea of Democratic gov? ernment is that of an absolute majority rule. That majority may do some things not in accord with the proprieties as construed by the more intelligent, may violate the sense of decorum as understood by some ?but any limitation of the expression of that majority is an infringement of Dem? ocratic government. Granting for the sake of argument that the position of General Earle is correct, that tbe farmers arc the ignorant majori? ty, that the intelligent minority would rule better?who shall fix the measure of intelligence that shall entitle one to par? ticipate in the control of government?' We might even grant the assumption that the intelligent minority have the right to rule, that they rule better than tbe ignorant majority ; and yet we sub* mit that this system of government would not be Democratic?it would be a perver j sion of terms to call a government based upon such an idea Democratic govern? ment. We maintain with all the earnestness of conviction, that the farmers or any I other class of citizens have an absolute I right to control the government, if they see fit, and are able to do so. We believe that at certain times it is a Bolemn duty j of citizenship to assume control. More than this?under existing oircumstances, i with the convictions prevailing among the farmers, we believe this is one of those times. That theory of government which de? nies the right of the majority to rule, may be a good theory, may result in a good government; but it is not the theo? ry of Democracy; it will not result in Democratic government. We do not believe Buch a theory of government commends itself to the genius of our people, farmers or other classes, however emphatically it may be asserted or by whomsoever it may be advocated. We are set unalterably for tbe defense of the right of the majority of the people to rule, be that majority composed of one class or many. Tbe minority, however intelligent, have no right to rule, except as they can bring tbe masses to their way of thinking by appeals to their rational powers,?Cotton Plant. President Stokes' Policy. Tho following outline of policy appear? ed in the Charleston World a few days ago in response to the inquiries of a reporter for that paper? "The policy of any executive officer should be shaped by the conditions he finds, in view of the objects to be at? tained, In the case of the president of a State Alliance, the objects to be attain? ed are explicitly Bet forth by tbe consti? tution of the order and the demands.of the National Supreme council at St. Louis last December. "The conditions we find are of two kinds?fundamental and consequential. The fundamental condition, which has made most of our evils possible, is the limited culture and information of tbe agricultural classes, as compared with those engaged in other industries. The policy adapted to this condition is mani? festly education, Better schools and more of them, conducted upon rational and progressive linas. Better equipment and improved moderu appliances in those schools with longer terms and better attendance. All this must be stressed; but above all else the necessity of intro? ducing these improvements by. private rather than by public enterprise, by indi? vidual and neighborhood effort, rather than by State taxation, "The power of the press must be recog? nized, and utilized systematically, persis? tently, intelligently. As au educator and disseminator of information, as a vindica? tor of truth, as a defender of the order and its purpose, the press will be laid un? der full tribute. "In all waya possible a lull conception of tbe problems that confront agriculture will be imparted, and always and every? where the importance of consolidation, compact organization will be emphasized. "Our deficiencies in respect to skill, training and strategy must be supple? mented by the momentum of a compact, thoroughly disciplined body against the entrenchment of our foes. In this way only can we hope to undo the evils that have been inflicted by unjust legislation and wicked combination' In this way only can we hope to ward off similar blows to our welfare, while the slow moving forces of education are uplifting the masses." "A boy cannot be educated in ft year, nor in a decade. A people cannot be ed? ucated in a generation. So that while we are pressing progress at every point along all possible lines of education, with all possible speed, we must expect immediate relief from our burdenB only through the impact of our consolidated forces anima? ted by unfaltering conviction of the right? eousness and reasonableness of our cause. "This has been the policy that has ob? tained in the past, under the judicious and firm direction of my predecessor. "The progress made enables the order now to assume a more aggressive attitude, and her demands will be pressed in all legitimate ways." Still A Committee. The State Democratic Executive Com? mittee met last night at 8 o'clock in the president's office of the Carolina Nation? al Bank. President Hoyt and Messrs. Jones, Dial, Haskell, Woods Ehame and Lee was present. The committee was in session until after 10 o'clook, and among other matters discussed were the following resolutions which were unanimously adopted: Resolved, That it is the sense of this committee that its members have not been removed from office and that they still constitute the Democratic Executive Committee of the State. Resolved, That the secretary of this committee be and is hereby instructed to bold all funds and records now in his hands as such officer until such funds and records shall have been demanded by a State Executive Committee duly chosen by the ensuing State Convention. Both of these resolutions were introduced by Mr. Ehame. A telegram was received from Mr. W. J. Cherry, of York, who is a member of the committee, stating that he is in full accord with the committee but was una? ble to be present. The committee will meet again on the night preceding the State Convention of September 10.-? Columbia Register, August 23. A Centenarian's Giant Progeny. Chattanooga., August 13.?Probably the most remarkable family in the United Staten is the Walker family living near Hendersonville, N. C. William Walker, the oldest member of the family, was a soldier in the war of 1813, and professes to remember the Eevolutionary War. He fa generally supposed to be about 110 years of age, although the record is not as exact as might be wished. At an early day Walker came to North Carolina, where he raised a family of twenty-two children, equally divided between the sexes, The eleven boys ranged in height from 6 feet 4 inches to 7 feet, and all of them are still living. Seven of these men have sons and there is not one of these sons who is less than 6 feet in height. There are twenty-five grown grandsons and five grown great grandsons and every one of them is full 6 feet and over in height. They have always lived in the moun? tains a few miles from Hendersonville, and follow farming for a livelihood. No record has been kept of the generations and the families have been largo, bo that the descendants of this man, who is still living, if brought together would make a respectable sized town.
