The election or Force Bill, which has ' "been monopolizing the time of the United H States Senate siuce the beginning of the ^present session, has been laid aside, and it is the general opinion that the bill has % been killed. The financial bill is now > before the Senate. There will be no extra session of the Legislature to elect a Chief Justice. That was decided in Columbia last Mon? day night at a conference between the I Governor and Associate Justices. The Justices told the Governor they did not ;7 consider the legality of the Court im? paired, and that they would go on with : the business of the Court as usual. .?'A Georgia Ailianceman has written a 'letter in which he advises that "the fiat : go forth from the 'highest quarter* of the . Alliance in the South to every subordi? nate Alliance in the South that the acreage to be planted in cotton the com? ing year must be cut down, as compared .with the present, 15 to 20 per cent., and the food crops correspondingly increas? ed." . REFLECTIONS ON 1890. 1890, with all its opportunities, privi? leges and hardships is gone. We all have a great deal to be thankful for, and we . have all been guilty, of many short com? ings and negligences. By the successes and blessings of the past year let us be I encouraged, and by the errors and failures let ns be warned against their repetitions. From the events of 1890 we should draw some lessons for 1891. It is a great privi? lege to be able to use the past in framing ' oar plans for the future, and he has lived .. to a poor purpose who does not profit by his past experience and observation. . Religiously we have much to be thank ful for, and from the past year we may : draw some moat interesting lessons. Many I good resolutions have been formed, and .. many reformation-: have been made, and many bright stars cow shine in the hou? ses in our city that did not exist before. Christmas was observed by many differ? ently this year to what it had been before. ^890-will be remembered by many of our people as the early morn of a bright 'life. ~ From a' business view we have reason ? to be encouraged. New enterprises have sprung up and fuller developments in - those already in" existence. Trade has been reasonably good, and prices remark . 'ably low. Oar merchants have given the very highest price for cotton, and shown a disposition to do all in their power to ad? vance the interest of their customers. Politically, we have just passed through a most eventful year, such as we might " well hope never again to witness. From the events of last year let ns learn all the lessons we can. Let as not be so eager . in the future to follow the lead of new politicians. There can be Been now the '. efforts to get positions by the leaders. . None can well doubt at this time that it was a fight by the outs to get in, and that the tide of affairs only moves on as usual, without much retrenchment or reform? except, so to speak, a change of-"Kitchen Furniture." The Legislature that has jusc adjourned did about what would have been done by any other set of men, so far sb retrenchment and reform goes, and no one, except those who have been given the spoils, will be able to discern any dif? ference. Taxes will not be reduced to any conceivable extent, the price of cotton ' could not be kept np, corn is higher, so is floury Now we hope to see the people taking themselves to earnest, honest and faithful"efforts to build up themselves, kand better the condition of our common ^ry^remembering that no part or il of the community can suffer with? out to that extent affecting the whole. We desire now to state, as we have done in the past, that we stand ready and pledged to join hands with our fellow - citizens in all and any efforts to bnild up the condition of the people and to pro? mote their happiness, bnt we must not be ''expected to follow the laad- or course of ;:;;:Vevery one, until our judgment has first been convinced that they are in the right We believe in first gaining the intelligent and well advised consent of a -j people, and then asking them to follow. c iSrWy class and calling is dependent on ?'{? every other, and none can rightly claim independence. And that man is very ? - narrow-minded who wishes class legisla |s tion or who would undertake to array ? class against class. Let all the people recognize onr universal brotherhood, and daal with each in that spirit. Apply the golden rule: "Do unto others as ye would E| that others should do onto you." ' The New York Herald says the indus v trial progress of the south during the year just ended is something marvellous. - The assessed value of property down ?? States for 1890 is more than $300,000,000 -V above the assessment for 1889. Northern . capital is finding safe and profitable in ^'vestment in every field of southern enter? prise. The bond of unity between the I two sections is being strengthened; old animosities and prejudices are dying out. ; Mutual interest in manufactures, saw? mills, cotton, iron mines, Bmelting works g brings ns into closer relationship. We 1 understand each other better than ever . : before and respect each other more. For "~*many years the south struggled with un : parallelled adversities. Jt bad all the natural means of wealth, but no money - with which to develop its resources. To I the last degree plucky, borrowing hope from a fnture, which-was sure to repay p their efforts, its young men went to work |H with a will. There were fortunes to be bad, and they were determined to get them. What had been done in steady j _New England and in the majestic west, I they were bound to do in the South. Suc? cess so far crowned their endeavor that the wonder and surprise of the north Changed to admiration. We found them close on onr heels in the race, and soon learned that we must strike a stronger T^jait or they would forge ahead. Then - came the force bill, the last rancorous relic of ancient hatred. It u a coarse, ..brutal insult to a people who are doing .* all that could be expected with a race problem so serious and grave that we may : ' well thank God we are not ourselves call? ed upon to handle it. Under the plea of .fair elections it hides an inordinate greed p;?f party, which would endanger the re :v public for the Bake of another lease of power. If that bill is poshed through . the senate the republicans may gain a small advantage, but the country will suffer incalculable loss. Bitterness will return, the gulf of separation will be wi? dened, business will be injured, for capi? tal is shy in the presence of uncertainty ?and the hands on the clock of progress will be set back. The bill represents a malignant purpose and its enactment would be little short of a crime. The common sense of the count ty is against it. It is urged by surly, frantic, frenzied demagogues, who would imperil the gov? ernment rather than lose a personal ad? vantage. In spite of their efforts, the bill, we believe, will be killed. If not, then the Republican party, as its author and sponsor should be buried out of sight at the next presidential election. A.Trip to tho IiOwndosvillQ Section. Mk. Editob : I ask for a little space in your excellent paper to tell of a recent trip I made down into Abbeville County on the 31st nit. Leaying Anderson on the early morning train, I reached Lowndes ville at 8 o'clock. Everything was quiet in the little city. Securing a good horse from the stable of Messrs. Barnes & Ten nant, I made my way over Wilson's Creek and across Rock River. At every farm house I could see one or more bales of cotton stored away, awaiting a higher price. That night I spent at the home of Mr. John A. Kennedy, who was very sick. From there I returned to Lowndes ville and went down into the Fork, visit? ing tho gin house of my friend, Mr. James Harden, one of the most enterpris? ing young farmers of that section. Next I visited Mr. Bolin Allen, another prosper? ous farmer. All through this section there is a plenty of cotton still in the hands of the farmers. After passing through my old stamping ground, visiting the scenes of my boyhood days and noting the many different changes that had taken place in the last thirty-two years, 1 rode up to the hospi? table home of Isaac McCarley, one of the best farmers of his section. After riding over a good portion of tho big plantation hunting my friend, I found him on an island in the river, where his hands were picking cotton. He has a fine farm, and told me that he bad all of his cotton yet to sell. Leaving the Captain's I made my way up the river, and on every side I could see cotton. ? Through this section many changes have occurred and I could scarcely recognize the country. I passed the old school ground where, thirty-five year3 ago, I was a pupil of that faithful old pedagogue, Mr. Abner Clinkscales. Oh, if I could but recall those happy days. Nearly all of my boy companions have passed away. Of those alive I could re? call the name9 of T. M. Tucker and Thompson Oliver, who live in Alabama, J. M. Carlisle, who lost a leg in the war, and John Manning, who I had the pleas? ure of meeting. It made me sad to think of the number who had gone to their long home and of others who were crippled for life, but I felt grateful for having been spared and enjoying good health. Returning to LOwndesvilie I spent that night with our kind-hearted friend, D. G. Barnes, who, with bis noble wife, know how to make one's stay under their roof Eleasant. Next morning, hearing that lr. J. A. Kennedy was worse, I came home and sent my wife down there. That night a telegram was sent me an? nouncing his death, but I did not receive it until next morning. Mr. Kennedy was about 65 years of age, and was well known in Anderson. He was a member of the Presbyterian Church, and a good, upright citizen. D. K. C. AN ALLIANCE SENSATION. Cel. Keltt Slake a a Savage Attack on Pres? ident Stokes. From the Alliance Column of the Newoerry Observer. Editor Observer: Alliance men, our noble Order now covers thirty-five States, and we have millions of mem? bers. We have a great and holy work before os. To have a clear understand? ing of the obligations of each one to the other and to the Order education is absolutely necessary. To get that educa? tion I invoke you to* subscribe for the National Economist, the official organ of the Order, published at Washington city. It will cost you only one dollar "a year. It is worth to you more than all the. other newspapers put together. You will learn from it the principles and demands of the Order and its great end and aim. If you do not take it, sub? scribe at once for it. There is great lack of knowledge among those who ought to be posted. The following will show the obligation of each member of the Alliance to the Order and to those .organizations with whom we have confederated : St. Louis, Mo., Dec. 6th, 1889. Agreement made this day by and between the undersigned committee rep? resenting the National Farmers' Alli? ance and Industrial Union on the one part, and the undersigned committee representing the Knights of Labor on the other part. Wituesseth: The under? signed committee representing the Knights of Labor having read the de? mands of the National Farmers' Alli? ance and Industrial Union which are embodied in this agreement, hereby en? dorse the same on behalf of the Knights of Labor, and for the purpose of giving practical effect to the demands herein Bet forth, the legislative committee of both organizations will act in concert before Congress for the purpose of secur? ing the enactment of laws in harmony with the demands mutually agreed. And it is further agreed, in order to carry out these objects, we will support for office only such men as can be depended upon to enact these principles into statute law uninfluenced by party caucus. National Economist, Vol 2, No 4, page 214. Is it not clear from the above agree? ment that any member of Congress who is a member of the Alliance commits perjury if he goes into a caucus of either of the great parties ? If he is in any degree influenced by party caucus he Is perjured. There is no escape from it. On the heels of Mr. Irby's election to the position of United States Senator he was interviewed by the correspondent of the News and Courier, and is reported as makiug the following statement: "I am going to the Senate as a Demo? crat and in full accord with the National Democracy. I am in full sympathy with the Alliance, but whatever may be obtain? ed by me for the Alliance must be obtain? ed through the National Democratic par ty.? How does this statement of Mr. Irby's, who is the Alliance lecturer of Laurena County, compare with hia obligations as a member of the Alliance ? Is he ignor? ant of his obligations, or is bis conscience so seared that he is insensible of his sworn duty ? Brother Alliancemen, great principles and demands are the basis of our noble Order, and we have before Congress I pressing for solution a measure of finan? cial relief of the greatest magnitude. The Alliance is non-partinan, but politi? cal. It rises high aoove men and par? ties. It is the creature of the times and the condition of the country. Financial reform is the imperative demand. It was that, and not tariff reform, that caused the recent great political revolu? tion. The people of the North and Northwest are sick and tired growing corn for 12 cents per bushel and raising beef for 1 cent per pound. This is only the beginning of the revo? lution for the purification of the Govern? ment and financial reform. The time is near at hand when the Order will move out and, taking its position, will draw its blade in defence of its principles and de? mands, and, striking right and left, will spare no foe. Whoever falters in the fight is a traitor, and should meet the traitors fate. To permit a scurvy fellow, leprous with crime and without an element of statesmanship, to worm himself by politi? cal 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 repre? sent our Order in the Senate and push our measures to succesa. AH was loBt by the treason of one man Senator Stokea, president of the State AH'apce, How and why ? Ou Friday morning, December 5,1890, the following appeared in the Charleston World, the organ of Tillman aud Irby: "What I have seen and heard to-day confirms me in my previously expressed opinion that State Senator J. W. Stokes, ! who is also President of the State Far? mers' Alliance, will cut no figure in the fight for the United States Senatorship next Tuesday : but that on the contrary he is being "carefully groomed 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 and swallowed the bait with avidity, as the sequel shows. On the night of the next day, Saturday, there was a caucus of about forty Alliance men, which was presided over by Senator Stokes, presi? dent of the State Alliance. A ballot was taken, with Donaldson 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 Alliance caucus on Monday night, when all the Alliance members of the General Assem? bly would be present and select an Alli? ance candidate. A committee was ap? pointed to wait on Donaldson, Irby and Keitt and get them to state in writing their position on the principles and de? mands of the Alliance, to be read before the caucus. President Stokes said to the writer that his position was well known, but tbe position of Donaldson and Irby was not; hence tbe request that they be put in writing. I put mine in writing and handed it in. Senator Stokes, presi? dent of the State Alliance and presiding officer of the caucus of Alliance men on Saturday night, instead of convening the Alliance caucus on Monday night, as agreed, led off into a caucus of Non Alli? ance 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 of the State four years hence. That is the logical conclusion. 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 the Al? liance men on Monday night, which was agreed on, and hia leading off into a caucus of Non-Alliance men, is responsi? ble for the failure on the part of Alliance men to send a representative man to tbe 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 cannot be estimated. True and brave men cannot fight under the flag borne by a traitor, Respectfully, Ellison S. Keitt. Was the Alliance Sold Out ? From the Greenville Nctps. The Greenville Newa has contended steadily that the election of Mr. Irby to the United States Senate was a defeat of the Alliance. Our understanding of the matter was that the Alliance members of the Legislature had met in secret caucus and, after a vote between Messrs. Donaldson, Stokes and Keitt, had chosen Mr. Donaldson as the Alliance nominee, and so voted for him both in the Farm? ers' Movement caucus and the election.. This opinion is confirmed by Ellison S. Keitt, the recent elected Senator from Newberry, a prominent Alliance man and editor of the Alliance column of the Newberry Observer. In his weekly letter to the Observer, Mr. Keitt plumply declares that in the senatorial election tbe Alliance and Donaldson were Bold out and that Dr. J. W. Stokes, Senator from Orangeburg, president of the State Alliance and editor of the Cotton Plant, was the man who did it. Mr. Keitt describes Mr. Irby as "a scurvey fellow, leprous with crime and without the first element of statesman? ship." He says Dr. Stokes betrayed the Alliance because he fell into a trap set for him by the Tillmanites who gave him hope of being the nominee of that party for Governor four years honce; and vig? orously denounces the doctor as a traitor. Senator Keitt may be on tho wrong track. Very likely he is, but it is to be hoped that his somewhat sensational pub? lication will bring forth explanations of Borne very peculiar facts regarding the senatorial election. There is a good deal in it not known to the public and which would be interesting. The night before the decisive ballot it was known that the Donaldson line was broken, but nobody has yet explained how or why. It was known that Repre? sentative Harrison, of this County, would change from Donaldson to Irby next day on the first ballot. It was also stated in the Irby camp that Senator Stokea would on the second ballot lead enough Donaldson men to Irby to decide the battle and that a number of Donald? son's Buppoaed adherents were prepared to desert Donaldson if the Hampton men began to go to him. Friends of Hamp? ton who were prepared to go to Donald? son, the Alliance nominee, and help elect him, were warned that so soon as they did so a large proportion of Don? aldson's supporters would go to Irby. It is a fact that when Senator Stokes changed his vote from Donaldson to Irby there was a stampede in the same direc? tion by men who had been steadily vot? ing for Donaldson. It is also a tact that men who were supposed to be friends of Donaldson and who had voted for him, refused to vote for an adjournment which was desired to secure for the Donaldson and Hampton men tbe opportunity to com? bine their forcea. The Hampton and Donaldson men combined had, as we remember now, a majority of twelve before the last ballot. Yet a motion to adjourn the joint assembly until the next day was defeated by a majority of one, fifteen of Donaldson's supporters failing to vote. These facts look queer and indicate more beneath the surface than has yet been developed. It would be interesting to know what Influences changed votes from Donaldson, the Alliance nominee and the man who led in the Farmers' Movement caucus, between two suns, and how it was that Dr. Stokes, president of the Farmers' Alliance and presumably a member of the Alliance caucus, led the fatal defection from the nominee of that caucus?also how it was that the Irby managers were fully informed of that defection and how and when it would occur and who would lead it fourteen hours before it happened. It is inevitable that the whole matter come out. Several things supposed to be profound secrets are as well known to men whose business it was to look below the surface for hidden springs as if they had been proclaimed from the house tops. We did not look for an explosion so soon, however. It may be that the real facts will not even non be developed, but they will come presently. Then we will know all about the whys and wherefores, and Mr. Kent's curiosity will be more or less gratified and the justice of his sur? mises accurately tested. Dr. Stokes has the floor. I ? Thirteen inches of snow fell in New York on Saturday. ? An electric railway 186 miles long is about to be opened in South America, connecting Buenos Ayres with Montevi? deo. This, however, iB not a surface rca d but an overland "telpherage line," and its object in to carry letter boxea between the two cities. It crosses the month of the La Plata, rrhere it is 19 miles wide, and two wires are supported by a tower on each side of the river nearly 270 feet high. ?Disbeliever* in vaccination for small? pox should consider the statements just made to the French Academy of Medicine by Dr. Brouardel. While Germany losea only 110 persons per annum from small? por, France annually loses 14,000, to be accounted for by the rigid way in which vaccination is enforced in Germany and by the carelessness of the Frenchmen. In 1865, when vaccination was not obli? gatory iu Prussia, the mortality was 27 per 100.009 inhabitants. After vaccina? tion was enforced the mortality fell in 1874 to 3.60 per 100,000, and in 1886 to to 0.049. Ac the present time the mor? tality from this cause in France is 43 per 160,000. ?
